The Dialogue Institute is an endorsing partner of the Interfaith Hunger Coalition, and we will be breaking bread with the local Turkish community on Tuesday, June 28. More on that later. In the meantime, here is some background in the Iftar meal.

Poster by halattas via Openclipart

Iftar is the meal served at sunset during Ramadan, as Muslims break the daily fast. Muslims traditionally first break the fast with dates and either water or a yogurt drink. After maghrib prayer, they then have a full-course meal, consisting of soup, salad, appetizers and main dishes. In some cultures, the full-course meal is delayed into later in the evening or even early morning. Traditional foods vary by country.

Iftar is very much a social event, involving family and community members. It is common for people to host others for dinner, or gather as a community for a potluck. It is also common for people to invite and share food with those less fortunate. The spiritual reward for charitable giving is considered to be especially significant during Ramadan.

The spirit of Zakat
The participation of the Dialogue Institute in the Interfaith Hunger Coalition is very compatible with the values of Islam, not only during Ramadan, but year round.

Serving others in hardship and distress is an unconditional moral requirement in Islam. The idea of zakat, one of the five pillars of the faith, is based on the direct, legitimate claim of the poor on the wealth of the rich - a claim that is not affected by the shifting tides of politics and ideology... This moral sensibility is at the heart of the Western concept of social democracy, but it was pioneered more than a millennium before in the egalitarian ethic of the first Islamic community.

Ramadan in Turkey
In Turkey, the month of Ramadan is celebrated with great joy, and iftar dinners play a big part in this. In larger cities like Istanbul all of the restaurants offer special deals and set menus for iftar. Most of the set menus start with a soup or an appetiser platter called iftariye. It consists of dates, olives, cheese, pastırma, sujuk, Ramazan pidesi (a special bread only baked during Ramadan), and various pastries called börek. The main course consists of various Turkish foods, especially the Ottoman Palace Traditional Foods. A dessert called güllaç- is served in most places. Most of the fine-dining restaurants offer live musical performances of Ottoman classical music, Turkish music and Sufi music. Read More in Wikipedia

Image from Foodshare.org

If a college or seminary class is designated the number 101, that means you are beginning your course work with the basics. You might find Biology 101, History 101, Humanities 101 and New Testament 101 in the college or university's course catalog.

How about Changing the World 101: Ending Hunger as a Case Study for Systems Change? This is a course that the Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis will be offering in the Fall Semester of 2016.

The course follows up on a forum that CTS and Bread for the World sponsored in Indianapolis in April of this year.

Here is a description:
Bringing real change to the world means changing its systems—and Christian Theological Seminary and Bread for the World are joining forces to present this course on changing the systems that impact hunger. The end of hunger is within our grasp! In this course we'll explore the key skills and best practices involved in making systems change, along with the biblical and theological perspectives through which Christians can best help lead systems change in the twenty-first century.

The course can be taken for credit or non-credit.

Those attending the non-credit option have only two class days: September 10, and September 17 (both Saturdays).

Those taking the class for credit will attend the September dates, as well as November 5, and November 12.

The facilitators for the class are Bread for the World board members Dr. Matthew Boulton and Dave Miner. Dr. Boulton, president of the CTS, is a professor of theology at the seminary. Miner, a grassroots activist in Indianapolis, served as chair of the Bread board for many years. Students will also hear from other experts who will address such topic as theology, hunger, and systems change.

Class Content

God's provision of abundance for all

Root causes, prevalence and impact of hunger

Current progress toward ending hunger

Local, national, and international systems impacting poverty and hunger Theology of Christian advocacy

Models and practical approaches to advocacy

Related issues vital to ending hunger: economic opportunity, climate change, immigration, mass incarceration, etc.

Each participant will lead a hunger advocacy project with support from an experienced hunger activist.

With temperatures reaching the triple digits in many parts of New Mexico, our thoughts turn to the cool temperatures of October. As long as we're in that "fall" space, might as well put a bookmark on October 1, October 23, October 30 (all Sundays). That's when CROP Walks have been scheduled in Farmington (Four Corners), Las Vegas, and Albuquerque.

The 8th Annual Congressional Women's Softball Game, held on June 15, raised more than $200,000 in corporate sponsorship, individual donations, and ticket sales to benefit the Young Survival Coalition, a global organization dedicated to critical issues unique to young women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. The CWSG, which features a match between teams comprised of Congressional Representatives and Senators and the Washington press corps, has raised more than $875,000 to date for YSC. According to Roll Call newspaper, this year's take broke a record.

Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Congress Roster
In this year's game, the Press Corps won by a score of 8-4, breaking a three-year winning streak by Team Congress. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham was among those playing for Team Congress. Her teammates included a bipartisan mix of legislators: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Rep. Mia Love of Utah, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and others. The Press Corps (Bad News Babes) included representatives from CNN, The New York Times, PBS News Hour, NPR, Huffington Post and other media outlets. See the rosters for both teams.

"It's pretty competitive, the members of Congress really want to beat the press," Rep. Kristi Noem of South Dakota said in an interview with Gray Television

Both teams take the game personally, as evident in some of the pre-game tweets. Here is a comment from  Jill Agostino of The New York Times. "Hey Members! Almost game time — deadline looms, we're used to this kind of pressure, are you?" Read more Digital Comments

"It's really great to be able to keep the game close, give a really good game for the spectators to watch," Wasserman Schultz told Roll Call. "What it means is they're more likely to talk about it next year and hopefully more people will come out,."

And the players also have fun, as evidenced by this image of Rep. Lujan Grisham (courtesy of a tweet from Jennifer Bendery).

We encounter God in the face of a stranger. That, I believe, is the Hebrew Bible's single greatest and most counterintuitive contribution to ethics. God creates difference; therefore it is in one-who-is-different that we meet god. Abraham encounters God when he invites three strangers into his tent.

- Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Prayer of the day
(from Sojourners daily Verse and Voice)

Holy God, in our failure to love and protect our neighbors, we fail you. In response to that failure, you chose to come to us and suffer alongside all who mourn, all who weep, and to offer us a path out of oppression and hatred and hopelessness. We pray that we might take it.

Let us be clear. Food shortage is not something natural, it is not a given, something obvious or self-evident. The fact that today, well into the twenty-first century, so many people suffer from this scourge is due to a selfish and wrong distribution of resources, to the "merchandizing" of food. The earth, abused and exploited, continues in many parts of the world to yield its fruits, offering us the best of itself. The faces of the starving remind us that we have foiled its purposes. We have turned a gift with a universal destination into a privilege enjoyed by a select few. We have made the fruits of the earth – a gift to humanity – commodities for a few, thus engendering exclusion. -Pope Francis

On June 13, Pope Francis addressed a meeting of the executive board of the World Food Program in Rome. The WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger. The pontiff thanked the organization for its efforts and commitments "in service of a cause that challenges us all: combatting the hunger from which so many of our brothers and sisters are suffering."

I invite all of the institutions of the world to give a voice to all of those who suffer silently from hunger. #ZeroHunger
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) June 13, 2016
 Pope Francis acknowledged that social media has made the globe more aware about hunger and poverty. And yet, he said, the problem prevails. "Today we cannot be satisfied simply with being aware of the problems faced by many of our brothers and sisters. It is not enough to offer broad reflections or engage in endless discussion, constantly repeating things everyone knows. We need to "de-naturalize" extreme poverty, to stop seeing it as a statistic rather than a reality. Why? Because poverty has a face! It has the face of a child; it has the face of a family; it has the face of people, young and old. It has the face of widespread unemployment and lack of opportunity. It has the face of forced migrations, and of empty or destroyed homes. We cannot "naturalize" the fact that so many people are starving."

Ironically, his appearance in Rome was mentioned widely on social media. Here is a tweet from a group in the Philippines.

The pope encouraged the WFP to continue its efforts to achieve the goal of Zero Hunger. "I desire that the fight to eradicate the hunger and thirst of our brothers and sisters, and with our brothers and sisters, will continue to challenge us to seek creative solutions of change and transformation. May Almighty God sustain with his blessing the work of your hands," said the pontiff.

Thus says the Lord:

A voice is heard in Ramah,

lamentation and bitter weeping.

Rachel is weeping for her children;

she refuses to be comforted for her children,

because they are no more.

Thus says the Lord:

Keep your voice from weeping,

and your eyes from tears;

for there is a reward for your work,

says the Lord:

they shall come back from the land of the enemy; there is hope for your future, says the Lord:

your children shall come back to their own country. Jeremiah 31:15-17

From horror, bloodshed, anger, and dismay our voices rise up: this is too much, this is beyond understanding, this pain goes too deep. Help!

We pause in small circles, around meal tables, and in silent sanctuaries; we pray for the victims, for the wounded, for the grieving, for the fearful, for the frightened, for all the brokenhearted. Help!

The news will not stop; each hour increases sadness and sparks rage. We listen; then, turn away. We face ourselves. Old truths tug at our heartstrings. Resolve builds: What must we do?

What we have always done: love mercy, do justice, humbly walk with God.

God of all, bless our lamentations and our steps forward. May we weep with those who weep, guard the vulnerable, and make a smooth path for peace. Help! for this moment is tender, fragile...and without your aid we surely will stumble.

Hear our lamentation. Help! Amen.

New Mexico will receive more than $7 million in funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 2016 for the annual free Summer Food Service Program for Children.

The program, administered at the federal level by USDA and at the state level by the Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD), is expected to deliver about 3 million meals about 900 sites around the state. Read article in Albuquerque Journal

Under the program, USDA allocates federal funds to a state agency (in our case, CYFD), which uses the money to reimburse eligible organizations for the meals that are served to children and youth.

Use this online tool (including a map and a search mechanism) to find sites in New Mexico that offer nutritious meals to children and youth, ages 1 to 18, during the summer months.

City governments in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County also set up listings of these same sites within their jurisdictions.BreadNM Bloghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-17076376.post-4001854123750612642016-06-13T10:18:00.000-06:002016-06-13T10:19:19.505-06:00Steve Garnaas-Holmes: Mercy

Image from NETWORK

This is a classic case of a half-empty glass versus a half-full glass. Regardless, the glass needs to be full, which it clearly is not. (And perhaps it's going from half full to a quarter full).

I'm speaking about the blueprint that Speaker Paul Ryan released on June 7, 2016. The plan, entitled "A Better Way to Fight Poverty, has a few nuggets of good news (which is why the glass is half full).

A willingness to dialogue
First, the good news. (Don't we all want to hear the good news first)? A feature of the plan is that it opens the door to dialogue, launching a bipartisan discussion on hunger and poverty and the policies required to end them.

Secondly, the proposal from the leader of the House of Representatives seems to run counter to a piece of legislation that was introduced in the House during the current session, H.R. 5003. This initiative would block grant school meals and and make it more difficult for tens of thousands, if not millions, of children to access meals at school and during the summer months.

Speaker Ryan's plan promises that none of the important nutrition programs are going to be block-granted, so that's huge!

"Bread for the World applauds Speaker Ryan for giving poverty the attention it deserves and offering a plan to address it," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. "We have disagreements with some of the proposals. But we are pleased that the plan doesn't propose to cut or block-grant anti-poverty programs, and we welcome the emphasis on making programs as effective as possible." Here is Bread for the World's full statement

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) offered similar comments."As Christians, loving God and loving our neighbors includes commitment to any who suffer from hunger or poverty," said the Rev. Amy Reumann, ELCA Director for Advocacy. "We are pleased that the plan doesn't propose to cut or institute block-grants for anti-poverty programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and that it focuses on areas of importance to ELCA hunger work, including housing, childhood education and criminal justice reform as part of the larger picture." Read full statement in the ELCA Advocacy Blog

Beckmann, Reumann and other Christian leaders, who form the core of the Circle of Protection, have repeatedly met with Ryan and his staff. They recently wrote to members of the task force about what they hoped to see – and not see – in the Republican poverty plan. Read the letter

Okay, that's the good news.

The downside
The bad news deals with the actual proposals that Speaker Ryan put forth in his plan. Bread notes that the Republican plan stresses work without offering any solution to the fact that many people cannot find jobs. The plan fails to address the disparate impact of poverty on people of color and the racial bias that underlies this reality. The Republican plan also fails to mention global hunger and poverty, even though Republicans and Democrats have worked together on some global poverty issues.

Others offer a harsher assessment. "House Speaker Paul Ryan's poverty plan ignores the realities of the struggles of millions of individuals and families across the country who need federal entitlement programs to make ends meet," said said the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). "By diminishing these crucial supports, the Ryan proposal actually would make poverty in America far worse,"

"To be clear, the Ryan proposal is not just about drastic cuts to proven programs; it's also about dismantling the stable and effective structure of our nation's safety net," added FRAC. "It is downright dangerous. It is dangerous because, by abandoning the proven strengths of the key parts of the nation's nutrition safety net, it will increase hunger and poverty, harm health and learning, and pull resources out of low-income communities." Read FRAC's full statement

Image from the NETWORK blog

NETWORK Lobby (and specifically Sister Simone Campbell) also raised objections to many of the elements in the plan.

In response, NETWORK released a list of 10 Things Speaker Ryan Could Do to Address Poverty Right Now, but yet again, Speaker Ryan's plan falls short.

Sister Simone Campbell suggests the resounding disinterest in the Speaker's plan stems from the fact that this is D+ work at best. To illustrate the point – graphically, and with a little bit of sassy Sister-Spirit – Sister Simone offers this annotated, graded copy of the plan's summary (see the illustration on the top of this blog post). For a clearer view, download the PDF

In Summary
Okay, let's summarize. Bipartisan approach and dialogue. Good. Taking block grants off the table. Also good. Emphasis on job creation. Also good. Emphasis on job creation in an environment of few jobs. Not good. Reduced funding for crucial programs. Terrible.

On balance, the speaker's intentions are good. There was a time when he was speaking about simply making the cuts and not engaging in dialogue. But there is an old adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Perhaps our programs need a lot of tweaking, but please don't gut them in the name of making assistance more streamlined. The next question is whether the bipartisan House Hunger Caucus is going to engage in this discussion. I hope so.

"We believe we can end hunger and extreme poverty in our country and around the world if our leaders make it a higher priority," said Beckmann. "We look forward to seeing the Democrats' anti-poverty plan, and to having a real debate about solutions."

The Garden's Edge, an organization that has roots in New Mexico and Guatemala, invites you to La Cuarentena -40 Days to Bring Light, to support its maternal health and well-being project in Guatemala. The project is part of the organization's overall efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, micro-enterprise and well-being in rural communities in Guatemala. The benefit will be held on Saturday, June 18, at The Cell Theater, 708 1st Street NW (map), 4:00-6:00 p.m. Please RSVP to Sarah Montgomery (firstname.lastname@example.com) (See flyer below).

The Garden's Edge nutrition team will set up a demonstration of how health assessments in the villages are conducted in the villages. The program will also feature healthy snacks from its Guatemala project and a small ceremony to bless children based on Maya tradition. "We will combine this ceremony with the idea of a Global Baby Shower to honor the babies we work with in Guatemala as well any special children in your own lives," said Sarah Montgomery, the founder of this project, and one of the hosts of the event.

"We invite all of our guests who are interested to bring photos of their children, grandchildren, adult children, and families to receive a blessing at the ceremony," said Montgomery.

"This maternal and child health project has really touched my heart because, like many of you, I have seen first-hand -through my work in Latin America - the great scope of the needs for maternal-child education and healthcare there," said Michelle Radden-Vogler, a co-host of the benefit.

The Garden's Edge, which seeks to promote cultural preservation, is a partner with the Guatemalan organization Qachuu Aloom - Asociación Madre Tierra, an micro-development regional organization that was founded in 2000. The group promotes a broad-based community model that focuses on preservation of traditional agriculture and native seeds.

The opinion piece was a response to recent and past coverage about how the HSD has not only failed to support low-income residents of New Mexico, but in many cases, prevented assistance from reaching those who deserve and need it. (A former HSD secretary once said "there was no hunger" in New Mexico).

Ruth Hoffman

"Here in New Mexico, we have long struggled with taking care of our most vulnerable families. Recent reports that state workers at the Human Services Department were being pressured into denying emergency SNAP (food stamps) to hungry people and families are very disturbing. For over two decades, a federal court has found HSD's track record for basic processing of medical and food assistance benefits to be in violation of federal law.

Government is one of the ways that we can work together to address the needs of our communities, and it can make a positive difference in people's lives. But when government doesn't work or fails to do its job, it can cause a lot of pain. Just ask a family of four in Hobbs. State workers left them without Medicaid coverage for seven months because HSD had failed to send a renewal notice or to check information the family had already given them.

Or an elderly man from Alamogordo with no income who had his SNAP assistance terminated last August because state workers forgot to send him a legally required notice. After going three weeks without food assistance, his benefits were reinstated, but only after the man went to an Income Support Division office to submit a new application for food assistance.

Whether it involves Medicaid or SNAP, these stories and others point to an unacceptable problem at HSD of improperly denying families needed services and failing to notify recipients about delays. Seniors and low-income families are on their own to figure out how to resolve these issues. Indeed, according to a study by the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty, HSD failed to send Medicaid clients the required renewal forms 50 percent of the time. Over 65 percent of the time, they failed to alert families about delays in their SNAP applications or about ways to resolve the delays."

At Sen. Tom Udall's office

At Sen. Martin Heinrich's office

As I handed my card to Sen. Tom Udall's aide, Lisa Van Theemske, she said, "Oh, you're Carlos. Ms. Sheely said I should talk to you if I have any questions." Ms. Van Theemske, a legislative correspondent for Sen. Udall, was referring to Pat Sheely, a Bread member in Gallup, New Mexico. The fact that Ms. Van Theemske remembered Pat Sheely's name is no small thing. This was evidence that the call and all the calls from our Bread activists in New Mexico were important to Sen. Udall's office.

Pat was one of 10 Bread members from New Mexico who volunteered to make calls to the Washington offices of Sen. Udall, Sen. Martin Heinrich, Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Rep. Ben Ray Lujan to support the face-to-face meetings that three of us (Larry Buelow, Ellen Buelow and I) had scheduled. Hundreds of Bread members around the country were making similar calls or visiting the local offices of legislators on Lobby Day.

'For us, the calls were very helpful as we asked our senators to invest $230 million in global nutrition programs (the subject of our 2016 Offering of Letters) and to pass a strong nutrition bill that closes the gap and connects hungry children with nutritious meals.

At Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham's office

Our only scheduled visit on the House side was with Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham. But we were aware that four people from the Third Congressional District (Pat Sheely from Gallup, Bro. Jim Brown from Santa Fe, Mary Singleton from Truchas and Stephanie Eagles from Cochiti Lake) had volunteered to call. So, on their behalf, we asked for a brief meeting with a legislative aide to Rep. Ben Ray Lujan.

A senior legislative aide, who needed to be on the floor in about five minutes, gave us three minutes to make our pitch. Support passage of the Senate version of the Global Food Security Act (S.1252) and actively oppose H.R. 5003, an initiative that would block grant school meals, which would make it more difficult for tens of thousands of children to access nutritions meals at schools and during the summer months. We received strong assurances from the aides to Rep. Lujan Grisham and Lujan that they were very supportive of our asks. (Both supported the earlier House version of the GFSA).

We also dropped by Rep. Steve Pearce's office, where we left a packet of information about the bills. We were received in a very cordial manner, but the aide who would have been in charge of the issues for which we were advocating was out of the office. And Larry was able to reconnect with an old friend from the Air Force, who has worked in a senior role in Rep. Pearce's office for many years. All in all, a fairly good Lobby Day for Bread in New Mexico.

A Vision and Strategy Retreat; Creating a Fusion Coalition for People of Faith Conscience, which had been scheduled for April 13-14 was postponed because of unforeseen circumstances. Happily, the event, featuring Rev. William Barber, has been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 29, 9:00 am-4:00 pm, and is now entitled Common Ground for the Common Good.

This statewide leadership summit will be held at the Canossian Spirituality and Retreat Center, 5625 Isleta Blvd. SW in Albuquerque (map), the same location as the April summit. Registration fee is $15. (In honor of the Fight for $15 Minimum Wage Campaign).

Rev. Barber will facilitate local efforts to create a fusion coalition in New Mexico for faith leaders, youth advocates and community organizers. As we mentioned in an earlier post, Rev. Barber is especially suited to lead this effort. He is founder of the Forward Together Moral Movement, president of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP in North Carolina, and pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Greensboro, N.C. Prominent theologian Cornel West has gone as far as to describe Rev. Barber as "the closest person we have to Martin Luther King, Jr. in our midst."

"Dr. Barber and this coalition has aided in the passage of the Racial Justice Act of 2009, which allowed death row inmates to appeal their sentences on the grounds of racial bias in the court system; and successfully advocated for voting reforms such as same-day registration and early voting, and has re-framed marriage equality as a civil rights issue and helped mobilized black churches to support a ballot initiative in 2012," said the North Carolina NAACP

Now that we've established Rev. Barber's impressive credentials, the next question is what is a fusion coalition? The closest example would the Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HKonJ) Peoples Assembly Coalition, a broad alliance of more than 140 progressive organizations, with over 2 million memberships. The coalition has come together to champion a 14 point anti-racism, anti-poverty, anti-war agenda. This article in The Nation magazine has more information.

After all, the Duke City basks in 310 days of sunshine every year. Sometimes the wind picks up in the spring, but there are also many calm days during the season. It was on a sunny, calm and mild day in May that St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church held its Offering of Letters. Members of the congregation wrote a total of 140 letters to Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Sen. Martin Heinrich and Sen. Tom Udall, urging them to prioritize support for maternal and child health programs, emphasizing nutrition. The messages from St. Michael and All Angels bring our totals in New Mexico close to 1,500 letters.

Other congregations and schools that have participated in our campaign this year include Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary (and South Valley Preparatory and Holy Ghost Schools), Albuquerque Mennonite Church, All Saints Lutheran Church, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, St. Timothy Lutheran Church, and Peace Lutheran Church in Las Cruces).

St. Francis of Assisi has been called the "saint for all peoples." Every Christian denomination and in fact every religion in the world recognizes that this was a saintly man. For one night he has been given "special permission" by the heavenly powers to return to earth from the communion of saints-to visit with us for a brief time. And to talk with us "face to face." He's been sent back to our time to share with us something that is in danger of being lost: the freedom and joy of Gospel living. -Inscape Ministries

In "St. Francis: Face to Face," Albuquerque resident David Hoover portrays St. Francis of Assisi through a one-man "reader's theater," a performance that explores the life and spirituality of the beloved saint and spiritual leader. Hoover, one of two storytellers at Inscape Ministries, conveys Francis' deepest struggles and intuitions about the meaning of life and death, about prayer, mystical experience, war and peace --- and the way of universal compassion and non-violent love which flows from a life of union with God.

The performance is a benefit for Trinity Catholic Worker House in Albuquerque. Where: Holy Family Church, 565 Atrisco SW, Albuquerque (map). When:  June 4, 2016, 7:00pm. Monetary donations will be accepted for the continued ministry of Trinity House.

This review is from: The Adventures of Captain Underpants (Captain Underpants #1) (Hardcover)
This book is the best kind of silly. It moves at a good pace, the pictures are enough to keep a kindergartner interested and the text is "advanced" enough for my second grader to read with a bit of a challenge. We have read it several times, most recently in one sitting, and laugh and laugh all the way to the end. Mr. Pilkey has a writing style that is fast-paced, exciting, and enjoyable. We are becoming fans, having reading a "Dragon" book and now "Capt. Underpants," we are ordering a few more of his titles. Enjoy, we certainly have!

Okay so kenpom's stats look better and you're right they look better on paper than what I looked up. I was wrong something I have no issue ever in admitting. I was looking at defensive efficency vs kenpom's adjusted D. They both give two different rankings as ranking teams defesnively isn't black and white. My entire point is while sure Michigan plays defense, they are not ever elite in defense. Ever, they are very pedestrian when it comes to playing defense. Beilein himself admits he isn't the best defensive coach.

Matthews might be his most athletic player yet and he could greatly help out on defense where he excels because Beilein isn't considered a good defensive coach.

Second being 6'6 and being able to dunk to me should be considered average for an NBA player. I said the knock on them was they don't have elite athletisicm which they don't nor does Trey Burke nor do a lot of guys coming out of college. When the first main attribute to Matthews game is Athletic its different than when compared to other good Michigan wings as of late. The first thing that comes to mind about THJ or Stauskas isn't athletic. They're athletic say compared to you or I but compared to the rest of the NBA they aren't more than average.

Short Cuts
Author and Publisher - Catholic Online
Teresa Verzeri was born in Bergamo (Italy) on July 31, 1801,the first of the seven children of Antonio Verzeri and the countess Elena Pedrocca-Grumelli. Her brother, Girolamo, became Bishop of Brescia. Her mother, doubtful of whether she should give herself to matrimony or embrace the monastic life, had listened to the prophetic word of her aunt, Madre Antonia Grumelli, a Franciscan Poor Clare Nun: "God has destined you for this state to become the mother of holy children."
At a very tender age Teresa learned from her mother, a prominent woman, to know and ardently love God. She was led in her spiritual journey by the Canon Giuseppe Benaglio, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Bergamo, who already accompanied the family.
Teresa completed her initial studies at home. Intelligent, gifted with an open spirit, vigilant, and upright, she was educated to discern, to seek true values and to be faithful to the action of grace. From childhood to maturity Teresa allowed herself to be led by the Spirit of Truth that engaged her in a constant and intense spiritual battle: in the light of faith she discovered and experienced the weight of her own weakness; she unmasked, as far as humanly possible, every idolatrous form of falsehood, pride, and fear, in order to surrender totally to God. Through grace, she travelled a road of detachment, of purity of intention, of simplicity and straightforwardness that brought her to seek "God alone."
Interiorly Teresa lived the special mystic experience of the "absence of God," anticipating something of the religious life of today: the weight of human solitude before a restless sense of the distance of God. Nevertheless, in unshakeable faith, Teresa never lost her confidence and abandonment to the living God, provident and merciful Father, to whom she devoted herself in obedience. Her lonely cry, like that of Jesus, became the entrusting of her whole self through love.
With the intention of pleasing God and doing only his will,her religious vocation matured at home and in the Benedictine Monastery of St. Grata. After a long and tormenting search, she left the Monastery to found the Congregation of the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus together with the Canon Giuseppe Benaglioon February 8, 1831, in Bergamo.
Teresa Verzeri lived during the first half of the 1800s, a time of great transformation in the history of Italy and the society of Bergamo, marked with political changes, revolutions, and persecutions that did not spare the Church, which was also wounded by Janenism and by the crisis of values, resulting from the French Revolution.
At a time when the devotion to the Sacred Heart found resistance, she gave to the first Daughters of the Sacred Heart this testament that characterises the spiritual patrimony of their religious family: "To you and to your Institute Jesus Christ has given the precious gift of his Heart, for from no one else can you learn holiness, he being the inexhaustible source of true holiness" (Libro dei Doveri, vol. III,p. 484).
Teresa saw very clearly the pressing needs of her times. Wherever charity called, she seized the situation, even the most dangerous and serious, with absolute availability, and with her first companions she dedicated herself to diverse apostolic services: "education of middleclass troubled girls; homes for orphans who were at risk, abandoned and even led astray; public schools, christian doctrine, retreats, holiday recreations and assistance to the infirm" (Libro dei Doveri, vol. III, p. 368).
In fulfilling her mission Teresa revealed her special talent as spiritual guide, as apostle and as pedagogue. She expressly professed the preventive system: "cultivate and attentively guard the mind and heart of your little girls while they are still young, to prevent as far as possible, any entrance of evil, it being better to avert a fall with your warnings and admonitions than to have to lift them up again with correction" (cf Pratiche, 1841).
Education is a work of freedom and persuasion, respecting individuality. For this she recommended that the young be allowed "a holy freedom so that they may do willingly and with full agreement that which, oppressed by command, would only be accomplished as a burden and with violence." In addition, she desired that the choice of methods established be adapted "to the temperament, the inclinations, the circumstances of each person... and be according to the capacity of each" (Libro dei Doveri, vol. III, p. 347 and 349).
In 1836 Canon Benaglio died and Teresa, supported by the obedience that guaranteed that the Congregation was willed by God, dedicated herself totally to its approbation, strengthening and expansion. In this she was affronted by many obstacles placed in the way by civil authorities, and also by ecclesiastics who put her virtue to the hard test. Teresa showed herself heroic in abandonment to the will of God that sustained her.
After a life of intense giving, Teresa Verzeri died in Brescia on March 3,1852. She left to the Congregation, already approved by the Church and by the government, a vast documentation - above all in the Constitutions, the Book of Duties and in more than 3,500 letters - from which it is possible to draw all the richness of her spiritual and human experience.
The precious spiritual patrimony transmitted to the Congregation finds its center in the Heart of Jesus from whom the Daughters of the Sacred Heart inherit the spirit of magnanimous charity that compels one to be "all to all " in an intimate relation with the Father and in loving solicitude for one's neighbor.
Teresa expressed it this way: "The Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, like those who draw their charity from the very source of love, that is, from the Heart of Jesus Christ, must burn with the same love of the Divine Heart for their neighbor: purest charity that has no aim save for the glory of God and the good of souls; universal charity that excludes no one but embraces all; generous charity that does not draw back from suffering, is not alarmed by contradiction, but rather, in suffering and opposition, grows in vigor and conquers through patience" (Libro dei Doveri, vol. I, p. 58).
Animated by this spirit, the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus continue the mission of Teresa today in Italy, Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, in the Central African Republic and in Cameroon, in India, and in Albania.
In the contemplation of the Heart of Christ they receive the mandate to go to every man and woman with a dedication that loves the poor with predilection, is open for every service, is always solicitous to promote the dignity of the person, to be the Heartof Christ there where the need is greatest.The relics of TeresaVerzeri are venerated in the chapel of the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Bergamo.

Fake IPAD Sold To Obama Voter For $200 Was A Mirror !! -- VIDEO -- HA HA HA

OP, seriously, get Obama off your head. You sound more pathetic than the victim. A person gets scammed, and instead of just making a regular thread about it, you bring Obama into it, even though there's no mention of Obama. And I haven't read any of the comments yet, but having spent enough time here I'm pretty sure that most of the people here are going to post about the video as if what you wrote in your title about her being an Obama supporter was part of the video, accepting it as an absolute fact, and then go on a rant about it and have a big laugh, rather than the typical being angry at scammers.
Great point ! Like these pretenders haven't been scammed before. IT is called false cause in philosophy. IT is like the rooster's crowing causes the sun to rise in the morning.

Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III is back to being a player, and he wraps up a busy Fall Series at Disney. Even though his 20 career wins make him a lifetime member on the PGA Tour, Love still has an amazing streak on the line.
His tie for fourth at the McGladrey Classic last month moved him up to No. 98 on the PGA Tour money list with US$973,707 ($1,177,289). That gives the 48-year-old Love a distinction that not even Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods can claim. Love has never finished out of the top 125 on the money list, a streak that dates to his rookie season in 1986.
"It just means you're getting older," Love said. "But I've hung in there a long time. Pride is a good word, too. When I went to Vegas (immediately after the Ryder Cup), Scotty Verplank texted me and said, 'Pretty good for a ceremonial golfer.' But he was saying, 'I know you're competitive and just want to go out and play.' When I go to play, I like to play. When I go to goof off, I like to goof off."
Love's streak nearly ended in 2008, when he was returning from major ankle surgery. He was well outside the top 125 when he had a pair of top 10s in the Fall Series, then finished it off by winning at Disney. That was his last win.
Not only has he kept his card every year, Love will be going for his 27th consecutive year of finishing in the top 100 on the money list. And if he can play well enough to earn US$26,293 ($31,790), it would be his 18th consecutive year of making US$1 million ($1.2 million) or more.
Love is no longer on the PGA Tour policy board. The PGA of America is in the process of picking the next Ryder Cup captain. Love is looking ahead.
"Next year should be great," he said. "I should have no distractions. So I'm excited about next season."
Love and Vijay Singh played three rounds together at the Frys.com Open and the top of the Champions Tour came up. Neither of them are in a big hurry.
"We want to beat these guys," Love said. "Everybody else is asking me and Vijay, 'When are you going on the Champions Tour?' And I'm thinking, 'How do I get as many wins as Vijay?' Vijay is thinking, 'How do I get as many wins as Phil?' So we want to keep going out here. We're competitive.
"There's a lot of money to play for," Love said. "I've never won a FedEx Cup. I'd like to get back in the top in the world rankings. I'm still motivated."

Kids are such little sponges at that age, soaking in everything you try to teach them. We should try to get them to absorb as much as possible while they are little.
jhawkinsf 3 years, 3 months ago
While trying to decide which elementary school to send my child to, I visited quite a number of different schools, both public and private. One school I visited, a school with a good reputation and one known to focus on the basics, the three R's, the principal stated quite emphatically that if your child was not currently in preschool, that child was not ready for that school. Wow, already behind the curve while applying for kindergarden.
I agree with grammaddy, they will soak up as much as you give them. Preschool is a great investment, one that will pay dividends for years to come.
hedshrinker 3 years, 3 months ago
another person who thinks teachers are babysitters and are overpaid and loaf around all summer and winter vacation. for many kids, especially from deprived/chaotic family situations (read no cognitive enrichment available, probably poor nutrition and medical care, minimal and ever-changing adult caretakers), preschool is ESSENTIAL to helping these disadvantaged kids keep their heads above water when Kindergarten starts. often more advantaged kids are already receiving these kinds of opportunities in their homes and other environments, so it's perhaps not as important, although socialization is important for all.
number3of5 3 years, 3 months ago
If we had parents who would take the time to teach their children while they are toddlers, there would be absolutely no need for preschool. Unfortunately that is not the case for the most part. Parents are to interested in themselves and their personal lives and fun to take the time to teach the children through interaction... JUST MY OPINION!
vanessaliobanewton 3 years, 3 months ago
I was in pre-school for 2 years and I was in daycare from when I was 2 and it had nothing to do with my parents being self-interested in their personal lives. It was because they needed to work so they could provide for their family. I'm a huge supporter and advocate for pre-school. It allows for a gradual change in a child's life in preparation for attending school. The child starts to get into the routine and structure of being in school before they are in kindergarten. My older sister never went to preschool (partly because my mom is an immigrant and didn't know that preschool existed until it was time for me to start going) and she had a lot of problems in her early years of school. Whereas I was already in the routine of going to school by the time I was in kindergarten and excelled in my classes. My sister turned out fine and her struggles in her first couple of years didn't hinder her academic progress at all and she graduated with honors and completed her BA in 3 1/2 years. I too graduated with honors and completed my BA in 3 1/2 years. I just think it helps the child ease into schooling.
Joe Hyde 3 years, 3 months ago
Sending kids barely past toddler stage to pre-schools before enrolling them in Kindergarten is more important now than ever before. The way Governor Brownback and conservative Republican legislators are cutting public education funding, our very youngest kids need all the early education they can get since, academics-wise, the 6th Grade could soon end up being their senior year.

A left-handed pitcher, his best year came in 1991 with the Giants when he went 13-11 with a 3.56 ERA in 202 innings pitched. Wilson is one of only 46 pitchers in Major League history to throw a nine-pitch, three-strikeout half-inning. This will be his 13th year as a pitching coach and sixth in the Angels organization. Wilson spent last season with the Arkansas Travelers, 2011 with the Cedar Rapids Kernels, and 2008-10 with the Tempe Angels.
Former first round draft pick, Nathan Haynes, will serve as the hitting coach in 2013. The Oakland, CA native played 60 games in 2007 and 2008 for the Angels and Rays. Primarily a centerfielder, Haynes played 854 career minor league games and had a career .278 batting average. He has spent the past two years in the Angels organization as pitching coaches for the Orem Owlz and Tempe Angels.
Chris Wells will serve as the Athletic Trainer while Joe Griffin will be the Strength and Conditioning Coach.

File Magic
Crafty Apps EU
- September 21, 2011
( 386)
* Tasker integration: e.g. act on files with your own tasks, much more
Fast, small, astoundingly customizable file manager, free forever, no adverts.
* Tasker integration: e.g. act on files with your own tasks, much more
* per-directory configurations for zoom, icons, fontsize, sort etc
* zip browsing
* integrated search, text/image viewer
* pincode lock files/dirs
Magic with Tasker direct purchase! By itself, it's a top notch file browser, competitive with Astro. Combined with direct purchase Tasker, it's the best file encryption manager available. Works great on my DROIDX 2.2 Froyo.
Ok- Thanks for freebie This is a case of get what ya pay for, it's slow. There are great file managers. The to integrate them with Tasker is my problem.
I love Tasker so I gave this a chance. It doesn't have a lot of options and the skin leaves a lot to be desired. However it does the job.
Don't really like the look of this app, but integrates with Tasker and does its job.
Doesnt work The files are only locked when you use it with the file magic program. But if you use the built in file explorer, the file opens up. Installed it on a samsung w I8150.
Haven't been able to use it I downloaded this app hoping that it would easily integrate with Tasker and do some amazing things, but those hopes have been destroyed by the fact that this app crashes within ten seconds of opening.. At least for me. It seems like it could potentially be decent, but it's slow for the few seconds it runs before it's demise.
What's New
* setting of %PATH when calling Tasker tasks wasn't working
* added check for Tasker RUN_TASKS permission before running tasks
* move/copy selection, rename: if destination files(s) exist, get confirmation
* bugfix: after renaming a dir, it was showing as empty
* simulate SD remount to update Android caches when appropriate (option in Misc prefs)

I have ordered prescription drugs (without a prescription) online from http://x-generic.info about two years ago, and was pleased with the speed and quality of service.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my medication. The meds is expensive, but there is a generic version available overseas.
I love the idea of taking responsibility for my own health (or lack of health) and skipping the bureaucracy... to say nothing of having to drive to the doctor, wait in line, yet again, to get a prescription refilled.

I have used http://qgeneric.info/#srnkbnrb for about 3 years and find their products to be reliable and speedily delivered. The Support team are very promt and helpful in solving any issues that arise,caused by my errors not the company's. I was a little sceptical initially about buying generic products rather than brand names. However, the Mens' Health products I have bought have been equally as efficatious as the brand names at a fraction of the cost.

Naturally, I am skeptical of everything online. http://edx-airstorepills.com is legitimate. I placed my first order for the smallest amount possible. It arrived sooner than expected. I didn't pay the extra money for speedy air mail. I placed another order that was much larger and it came right on time. I will definitely use this company again for even larger orders now that I trust them. They also give you discounts every time you place an order which is cool. One thing to keep in mind is if you place a larger order, they will send half in one shipment, and then the other half after that to avoid customs scrutinizing your package. I am very happy, I no longer need to pay tons of money to see a doctor and therapist (and have them tell me a bunch of stuff I already know) in order to get my medication.

I ordered Cialis soft tabs from http://goo.gl/I9xquY once in the past and they arrived in about 2 weeks, no customs payable and they seem as good as the non generic product. An acknowledgment of my order would have been nice but when i phoned them they were polite and reassuring. I used the trackable service.

Always great to purchase online from a site that actually delivers what you order. I was more than happy with the service from http://goo.gl/qJ3Zrx and the pills worked as expected. For genuine generic medication, this is the place to be. I'll stick with what I know for the future.

Cialis from RXPILL911 . COM worked great! Took the first dose and an hour later got a firm and lasting erection. Made love to my wife like never before. Did cause delayed ejaculation, but my wife did not complain. Headache and heartburn improved after about 5 days of use. Definitely recommend.

Ex-Pa. officer once hailed as hero faces charges
A former Philadelphia police officer named Richard DeCoatsworth has been arrested and charged with rape and other crimes
By Ron Todt
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A former Philadelphia police officer once hailed as a hero and given a seat next to the first lady at a speech by President Obama has been arrested and charged with rape and other crimes.
Authorities allege that former officer Richard DeCoatsworth left a party with two females early Thursday and took them to another location, where they allege he produced a handgun and forced them to use narcotics and engage in sexual acts.
A police spokeswoman said the victims called police and the 27-year-old DeCoatsworth was charged with rape, sexual assault, terroristic threats and related offenses.
A listed number for DeCoatsworth had been disconnected; it was unclear whether he had an attorney.
WCAU-TV, which first reported the arrest, said DeCoatsworth retired from the force on disability in 2011.
