Man arrested in assault on girl in East Bay store
SAN LEANDRO, Calif. San Leandro police have arrested a 29-year-old man on suspicion of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl who was shopping with her family.
Police say Carlyle Villazon is accused of attacking the girl at a Walmart store in San Leandro around 7 p.m. Friday.
Police say the girl had left her mother's side to look for her brother, returned crying and said a man had picked her up and touched her inappropriately.
Villazon was arrested after the girl's mother called for help and an 18-year-old man, Malcolm Mason of Oakland, chased the suspect and tackled him.
Villazon is being held on suspicion of lewd acts on a child, aggravated sexual assault on a child and false imprisonment. He is expected to be arraigned Tuesday.

Happy New Year Celebs Don Arabian Attires In Dubai Press Meet
It has been a happy year for superstar Shahrukh Khan and diva Deepika Padukone. They have become the talk of the town after Chennai Express. Even after the movie has halted at the Box-office, we see that the duo are flying high and going places.
Without taking a long break after their promotion spree, both the actors showed up in Dubai for the upcoming movie titled Happy New Year. This movie is directed by Farah Khan and is slated to release in 2014. The shooting in Dubai seems to be going on smoothly. We recently saw some pictures from the sets of the movie and even got a glimpse of the post-shoot party.
We now bring to you the latest images of the press conference held by the Happy New Year crew in Dubai. You will be amazed at these pictures as you will see the cast and crew in an all new avatar for this press meet. These celebrities are seen sporting Arabian style attires in Dubai. They just know the right clothes for the right place and this surely impresses all the fans.
It is reportedly said that Happy New Year revolves around the story of a bar dancer who teaches dance to a group which is part of a dance competition. The shooting for the film began a while ago and the next destination for shooting is rumoured to be Goa. We look forward to seeing pictures of these celebs donning the Goan attires as well. As of now, do have a look at the slide show which has some surprising pictures for you.

A few of the groups are based near campus at Bowdoin's Coastal Studies Center on Orr's Island, or are staying on campus.
Audubon's 'Birds of America' Page-Turning with special guest Professor Nathaniel T. Wheelwright
September 2, 201612:30 P.M. – 1:00 P.M.
Hawthorne Longfellow Library, Special Collections
John James Audubon's Birds of America is a portal into the natural world. Printed between 1827 and 1838, it contains 435 life-sized watercolors of North American birds, all reproduced from hand-engraved plates, and is considered to be the archetype of wildlife illustration. There are only 120 known copies of the double-elephant folio of this remarkable work, and Bowdoin owns one of them.
Displayed just one illustration at a time in the reading room of Special Collections & Archives, join us as the staff turns the page and explore related texts on view.
For this month's page-turning we'll be joined by special guest Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Natural Sciences Nathaniel T. Wheelwright, who will discuss some of Audubon's misidentifications and the difficulty, in general, of recognizing immature birds.
Join us on the first Friday of every month at 12:30pm as we turn the page!

Film Screening: 'The Fits,' Directed by Anna Rose Holmer
September 3, 20167:30 P.M. – 9:00 P.M.
Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
Tomboy Toni lands a spot on the Lionesses Dance Team, but when members of the group begin to experience a series of mysterious spasms - the fits - she fears how far she must go to fit in.
At its heart, The Fits is a meditation on movement as seen from the perspective of adolescent girls. The film explores the particularly young female phenomenon of mass hysteria, also known as mass psychogenic illness. The Fits juxtaposes the precise, powerful, and intentional movements of drill with subconscious, spontaneous, and uncontrolled movements of collective hysterics.
Director Anna Rose Holmer developed and produced The Fits through the Venice Biennale Cinema College program and collaborated with Queen City Boxing Club and the Q-Kidz Dance Team to cast real teenagers from the west end of Cincinnati.
"Holmer turns this coming-of-age movie into a dreamy, dread-inducing portrait of a young woman in full self-discovery mode, with woozy dollops of magical realism and next-level spiritual transcendence mixing it up with mesmerizing drill routines."
- David Fear, Rolling Stone
"Holmer has crafted an elegantly commanding first feature about girlhood, selfhood, and much more."
- Jen Yamato, The Daily Beast
"Visually lush and uncommon."
- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
Presented by the Cinema Studies Program with support from the Department of Theater and Dance.

Michael Leja: "Modernity's Immaterial, Multimedial Images" Keynote Lecture
September 29, 20167:00 P.M. – 8:30 P.M.
Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
The materiality of visual artifacts is an interest ubiquitous among art historians nowadays, and in many respects this is a salutary development. A danger, however, is that some immaterial aspects of imagesâespecially their fluid transferability and multiplication across mediaâwill become obscured. Practices of combining media, simulating one medium in another, sharing images across media, and compressing many images into one were crucial features of the visual culture of western modernity, and they are fundamentally at odds with Clement Greenbergâs influential thesis that medium purification was the essential motor of modernist art. Taking account of this multimediality changes our understanding of modern picturing, and it entails changes in the ways art historians define their objects of study and interpret and evaluate them.
Michael Leja, professor of history of art and chair of the graduate group in the history of art at University of Pennsylvania, will examine these ideas and deliver the keynote lecture for the Across the Divide: Intermediality and American Art symposium.
Leja, who holds a PhD from Harvard, studies the visual arts in various media (painting, sculpture, film, photography, prints, illustrations) in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, primarily in the United States. His work is interdisciplinary and strives to understand visual artifacts in relation to contemporary cultural, social, political, and intellectual developments. He is especially interested in examining the interactions between works of art and particular audiences.

BEIRUT, May 7 (IPS) - As reconstruction resumes in the heavily bombed southern Beirut district Dahiyeh, the signs are evident of a rebuilding of resistance against Israel and the U.S.-backed government, largely by way of increased support for Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is leading much of the reconstruction. Dahiyeh was bombed by the Israelis last year because it was seen as a Hezbollah stronghold. At least 15,000 houses were destroyed.
Many local people accuse the U.S.-backed Lebanese government of refusal to help reconstruction in pro-Hezbollah areas like Dahiyeh.
Foreign donors pledged more than 7 billion dollars in aid and loans at a meeting in Paris in January to help rebuild this nation of four million. Three of the biggest contributors where the United States, France and Saudi Arabia. All three are seen by the opposition as supporters of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, and his allies Saad Harriri and Druze leader Walid Jumblatt.
Michel Samaha, who was minister for information 1992-1995 and again 2003-2004, told IPS that Siniora, Harriri and Jumblatt are seeking to strengthen themselves by "having on their ruling agenda the priorities of the United States in Lebanon, the priorities of the Zionists in the United States, and especially the neo-cons in the Middle East."
The anger against such policies is obvious in Shia areas.
"We've applied for help through the government," 45-year-old Dahiyeh resident Mahmoud al-Khateib told IPS at his electronics repair shop which was damaged by an Israeli bomb. "They came and inspected the damage and said they would let us know. We're still waiting."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Many people say money meant for reconstruction is going elsewhere. "All the government cares about is putting money in their own pockets," 18-year-old student Ali Mohammed told IPS. "They don't care about us, just look around you at this destruction, they are doing nothing for us."
Blocks and blocks of what were ten-storey apartment buildings were completely levelled by Israeli bombing. Empty craters is sometimes all that remains.
Hezbollah, led by Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, has spearheaded post-war reconstruction in the suburb through its NGO, Jihad al-Binaa. The organisation is well resourced, and has a force of 1,500 engineers.
Hezbollah founded Jihad al-Binaa in 1988 during Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war. The NGO took the role of a kind of local municipality for the Shia community in the absence of an effective government. It continues to do so.
Jihad al-Binaa is one of a number of foundations run by Hezbollah. Others also deliver services normally provided by governments, such as healthcare and education. Hezbollah says the group is funded through religious charitable donations such as zakat and the Shia Muslim system of hummous, through which Shias donate a percentage of their incomes.
Hezbollah acted quickly after the bombings ended in August last year, offering 12,000 dollars to each family who had lost their house. It undertook reconstruction work directly for those most in need.
Officials loyal to Prime Minister Siniora accused Hezbollah of acting as a "state within a state." In its response delivered on Al-Manar TV which it owns, Hezbollah officials lashed out at "the absent state."
Within two weeks of the ceasefire last year, Hezbollah said the government planners "still have no contingency plans for reconstruction in the south or in Dahiyeh." That has remained largely the picture since then.
Residents agree, and their sentiment has translated into increasing respect and support for Hezbollah. Israeli officials had hoped the attacks would destroy support for the group.
"Eight months after the war nobody in the government has yet come even to inspect the damage to my home," Jihad Brahim, a 40-year-old member of the Lebanese Army told IPS as he stood near a pile of rubble under a half-destroyed building. "Look at this rubble, it would take a bulldozer 15 minutes to clear this, but it's still here."
Brahim added, "Everyone in my building has a year's worth of support from Hezbollah, and they are also carrying out reconstruction. Hezbollah is much stronger now, and all of us respect them so much more. I pray that Nasrallah lives a long life."
"The government is giving us nothing, while Hezbollah is doing a great job for us," 22- year-old electrician Hussein Shara'a told IPS. "Even with all this work still to be done, we can live with any difficulty, because the important thing is that we won the war."
The suburb is dotted with countless green and yellow banners of Jihad al-Binaa. They read, 'Carrying On. Together We Resist. Together We Rebuild'.
Mahmoud Rahman has been driving a taxi for 30 years. He bought an apartment with his savings, but his house was almost destroyed by an Israeli bomb.
"I never had a problem with America before, but because of their backing of Israel my life is destroyed," he told IPS. "All my kids hate America. Is this their democracy? If it is, we're better off without it."
Al-Fadl Shalaq, former head of the Development and Reconstruction Council, a body formed by former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri who was assassinated in February 2005, says the damage suffered by Lebanon during the Israeli onslaught exceeded that during the 1975-1990 Civil War between extremist Muslim and Christian groups.

Welcome to the Wild At Heart Wildlife Refuge Centre!
Wild At Heart – Our Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
Spring message from the President, Dr. Rod Jouppi
It may seem like winter right now but slowly and surely, things are changing in our forests and lakes. Starting in April, Wild At Heart gets very busy with our annual spring rush of orphaned animals, injured animals and sick animals. In order to get ready, we are very busy right now repairing cages, painting and cleaning/organizing so we can be efficient during our busy time for animal care. We really rely on our interns and volunteers year round!
In late winter, nature ensures survival of species through reproduction and the arrival of babies – bears start to wake up, turtles wait for ice to be thawed on lakes, and birds start to return from the south. In northern Ontario, we are so fortunate to be in the midst of this awakening scene – we are surrounded by wildlife. It is a fantastic experience to be a witness to animal sightings and to be able to do small things for our environment to ensure healthy surroundings and healthy wildlife.
One of the issues that we have found every spring is that people are sometimes too kind. People see a baby animal in their back yard and immediately think they need to get involved, often "kidnapping" a baby animal. Young animals are not unlike young kids. They do some strange things, like go into a stranger's yard. The mother is usually nearby watching at a distance. The best thing to do is to ensure your pet is indoors and leave the animal alone unless you are sure it is injured. Snowshoe hares are independent after 3 weeks of age and mothers often have 2 or 3 litters every summer. Mothers usually only come by in the morning and evening to feed them so often, they may look abandoned but they are not. Please call if you find a hare on its on before bringing it in. Fledgling birds often leave their nest a day or so early. Please leave them be and they will be flying before you know it.
Recently, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommended that New Englanders stay 150 feet away from lone baby seals. Gray seals deliver pups around this time along the New England coast, and mothers may leave pups temporarily in search of food. Crying pups are not in distress, just missing mom, say NOAA experts. We don't have baby seals here but we do have a host of other wild babies who may give you the impression they need help but really don't.
Sometimes we will find a litter of raccoons in our garage. Please do not interfere until the babies are 7 or 8 weeks old and then create noise, lights and they will leave with mother. Then repair the area so you don't have a repeat issue next spring. If we interfere too early, the chance of these babies being successfully released from a captive situation is much poorer than if they are brought up naturally.
Wild At Heart does a terrific job caring for young animals but we are no match for mother. Sometimes, animals are truly orphans and we do need to get involved. If you suspect this, call Wild At Heart at 705-692-4478 and we will discuss it with you if you need to get involved, and how to get involved. Remember, orphans have very special needs with respect to diet and care. Feeding them the wrong thing, even once can be fatal!
Last year, Wild At Heart cared for over 900 wild animals, all with the extraordinary help of generous donors and volunteers. We cannot care for unlimited numbers of wild animals. If people get involved too soon, these numbers will become so large that we will be forced to stop admissions and young animals may need to be humanely euthanized. Wildlife Centres can only do so much – we all have finite caging, food and help. If we are not able to provide proper care, we have to make tough decisions. Last year, almost all Centres had to stop taking in raccoons. This year, if we can all do our bit, hopefully we won't have any animals at our Centre that were kidnapped.
As a non profit organization (registered charity: 857767206RR0001), Wild At Heart depends on the generosity of our community to continue our mission to professionally treat wildlife and educate about human-wildlife interactions. Your support helps us to treat over 900 wild animals annually by purchasing specialized formula, nutrient-rich diets, quality medical supplies, new equipment, and much more. Without you, Wild At Heart would not be here today. Thank you for your continued support!
We are currently caring for:
- 46 Raccoons
- 1 Chipmunk
- 4 Red Squirrels
- 1 Skunk

BALDWIN CITY, Kan. -- Baker had too much pitching Wednesday for the Missouri Valley College baseball team, which dropped both ends of a Heart of America Conference road doubleheader, 14-0 and 6-1.
Senior Chris Cummins threw a four-hit shutout, his second of the season, and struck out nine in the first game. He was the beneficiary of the Wildcats' 11-hit attack, including seven-run second inning which had three errors, three walks and a hit batter to go along with three hits -- including senior Steven Stewart's two-run single.
Baker (16-13, 5-3 HAAC) added three runs in both the fourth and fifth frames, getting a two-run double from freshman Miles Sanderson in the fourth and three extra-base hits -- junior Tevin Thompson's triple and doubles by freshman Chris Derby and junior Chase Dengel -- in the fifth.
The Vikings didn't fare much better in the late game, senior Nathan Wheelock -- who earlier this season tossed a perfect game against Dakota State (S.D.) -- going the distance for BU.
An error let two Wildcats cross in the second, freshman Josh Zach singled in a run in the third and junior Joey Orozco doubled home the second run of the fourth.
Valley snapped a 15-inning scoreless string on senior Matt Burton's single in the sixth.
The Vikings (3-22-1, 1-7) take a seven-game losing streak into Saturday's HAAC twinbill at Graceland.

E: Ok! One morning some time ago, Rosa woke up and felt inspired to make whimsical jewelry! Little by little she added different materials and created impressive combinations.
R: Emmy loves to knit. Her technique is so good, that you can hardly tell it's a hand-knitted item. Somehow she manages to add the "handmade sense", though...
E: Rosa has brilliant ideas and exceptional skills when handling materials and colors. She creates beautiful and feminine compositions for the jewelry she designs. She experiments and succeeds in difficult combinations and new forms.
R: Emmy has an unlimited imagination. She adds passion to anything she does; she focuses on her work and does not stop until she reaches perfection.
E: Rosa is a master in organizing everybody's work and time. She offers the time and energy that are precisely needed â??never more, never less- to make well done, cozy and unique creations. Still, the most important "ingredient" she adds is her positive thoughts and her love.
R: Well said! This counts for Emmy as well! This is actually what we offer: all the things we love to make with our hands, with loving love from us to you.
Enjoy them!
I love moss stitch pattern, especially when I have multi color yarn. When I saw this multicolor cordonet yarn, I thought: "I need to think of something in moss st pattern. Summer is almost here, the temperature is going up and a knitted fabric in moss st will be warm. How about leaving "doors and windows" open..."
This vest/poncho/top (call it as you wish) is very easy and quick to make. It's made in one piece, folded in half. I used a trick to make the neck opening and I added photo instructions to make it easier for you to understand (begginers included).
I hope you'll enjoy knitting and wearing it!

Two Chicago residents and a Wiregrass man face serious drug felony charges in Coffee County.
A routine traffic stop in Coffee County netted more than five pounds of marijuana, $5,000 in cash and several weapons.
After questioning the driver, investigators served a search warrant on the home of Monroe Williams.
That's where a majority of the drugs and cash was reportedly found.
Williams was released from jail on a half-million dollars bond.
A second suspect was also released but De'mondo Siler of Chicago is being held on a robbery charge from Pike County.

The 28-year-old, a three-times world champion, is considered Britain's greatest ever gymnast.
News comes one year to the day that Tweddle won her bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The Johannesburg-born gymnast had previously stated that she would not be competing at the 2016 Olympics and has now decided to call it a day before the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year..
She will now turn her attention to running an Olympic legacy programme, which opens next month at Chobham Academy's East Village.
Tweddle said: "It's been a hard decision to make; gymnastics has been and always will be a massive part of my life.
"Following the Olympics I've had a lot of projects on and recently I've had a bit more time to get back into the gym and decide whether I could put 100 per cent into it and I know now deep down I can't commit to the hours and training to remain at the very top."
Tweddle was world champion on three occasions and European champion six times, with Lord Sebastian Coe, London 2012 chief and British Olympic Association chairman, paying tribute to her on Tuesday.
He said: "During a remarkable career that has seen her achieve unprecedented success at every level of competition, Beth Tweddle has set a new standard of excellence for British gymnastics.
"She has been an inspiration and a role model for a generation."

Moreland and Moreland on Amoris Laetitia
Theologian Anna Bonta Moreland (who happens to be my wife) and I discussed Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia at the University of Chicago Divinity School a few weeks ago at an event sponsored by the Lumen Christi Institute, and the video has been posted here. For MOJ purposes, I included some remarks about implications for the law raised by the document in the areas of marriage, education, and adoption.

Pope Leo XIII on Saint Thomas Aquinas
I am teaching a seminar this semester at Notre Dame on Catholic social thought and law, and this week we are discussing the remarkable legacy of Pope Leo XIII (r. 1878-1903) through an examination of his famous social encyclical Rerum Novarum (1891) and other writings. For today's Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas, here is a bit from Aeterni Patris (1879), the encyclical that rehabilitated the place of philosophy in modern Catholic intellectual life (and may all of us aspire to follow Thomas's example by "wanting neither...soundness of principles or strength of argument").
Among the Scholastic Doctors, the chief and master of all towers Thomas Aquinas, who, as Cajetan observes, because "he most venerated the ancient doctors of the Church, in a certain way seems to have inherited the intellect of all."(34) The doctrines of those illustrious men, like the scattered members of a body, Thomas collected together and cemented, distributed in wonderful order, and so increased with important additions that he is rightly and deservedly esteemed the special bulwark and glory of the Catholic faith. With his spirit at once humble and swift, his memory ready and tenacious, his life spotless throughout, a lover of truth for its own sake, richly endowed with human and divine science, like the sun he heated the world with the warmth of his virtues and filled it with the splendor of his teaching. Philosophy has no part which he did not touch finely at once and thoroughly; on the laws of reasoning, on God and incorporeal substances, on man and other sensible things, on human actions and their principles, he reasoned in such a manner that in him there is wanting neither a full array of questions, nor an apt disposal of the various parts, nor the best method of proceeding, nor soundness of principles or strength of argument, nor clearness and elegance of style, nor a facility for explaining what is abstruse.

Catholic Social Thought and Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association
I was hoping someone would give me a chance to say something about Monday's oral argument in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, and MOJ-friend Michael Sean Winters graciously obliges over at his blog in a post about the latest "assault" on unions. Michael Sean and I have been around before on some issues about Catholic social teaching and unions, so why stop now?
One can, as I do, subscribe to the Catholic Church's teaching from Rerum Novarum on about the role of unions in civil society, appreciate much in the insightful paper by Lew Daly to which Michael Sean cites, and yet think all of that has nothing to do with the issues in Friedrichs.
For starters, I think Michael Sean is a little cavalier in writing that Friedrichs is "not really about the First Amendment at all." That's a conclusion, not an argument. And on the law of the First Amendment, Friedrichs poses some hard questions (unless, I suppose, one is prepared broadly to countenance compelled subsidization of speech). I am not sure the point of Michael Sean's initial hypotheticals about violations of trade secrets and trademarks, but the issue in Friedrichs strikes me as quite different. No one doubts that violations of trade secrets and trademarks can be sanctioned. But can the state require as a condition of public sector employment that a non-union member pay an agency fee? That's a difficult question, and the answer the Court gave almost 40 years ago in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education is badly reasoned (as just one example, by assuming the constitutionality of compulsory payments based on two private sector union cases, Railway Employees' Department v. Hanson and Machnists v. Street, that dealt with the First Amendment issue in a sentence and not at all, respectively). A cite to Rerum Novarum doesn't resolve the free speech question.
And then there's the basic distinction between private and public sector unions. The permissibility of agency dues in the private sector isn't at issue in Friedrichs (conceded at the outset of oral argument by Michael Carvin), so it's a little hard to see how this is an all-out "assault" against unions. Nor does Friedrichs question the permissibility of agency shop arrangements in either the public or private sector, only whether non-union members must subsidize a public employee union's political activity—so the arguments in Michael Sean's penultimate paragraph about union formation seem to me beside the point. The line between collective bargaining and political activity for public sector unions is impossible to draw, and that's the core of the plaintiffs legal argument against the compulsory agency fee. As Justice Kennedy put it at oral argument:
The union basically is making these teachers compelled riders for issues on which they strongly disagree. Many teachers think that they are devoted to the future of America, to the future of our young people, and that the union is equally devoted to that but that the union is absolutely wrong in some of its positions. And agency fees require, as I understand it—correct me if I'm wrong—agency fees require that employees and teachers who disagree with those positions must nevertheless subsidize the union on those very points.
Finally, could I make a plea here for scholars working on Catholic social thought to spend a little time confronting the classic argument by Ralph Winter and Harry Wellington about public sector collective bargaining before waxing rhapsodic about Rerum Novarum and the unalloyed blessings that unions provide? As Rick Hills put it a while ago, the inelasticity of demand for their services and manipulation of the political process to their advantage means that public employee unions are differently situated than, say, trade unions. There are all sorts of bad policies created when public union-controlled services (prisons and public schools in some areas, for example) are consumed largely by lower income people, which is, at least arguably, part of the reason why we have so many prisons and such bad public schools (as Rick points out, the prison guard union in California was a powerful lobby for "three strikes, you're out" life sentencing). I hope the plaintiffs prevail in Friedrichs because that's the right legal outcome, but I also think it would be a small step to correcting some of our injustices and policy distortions.

A Moving Story from Aaron Twerski at the AALS Torts Section
The Torts and Compensation Systems Section of the AALS had a terrific panel on Friday afternoon, the topic of which was the 100th anniversary of MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co. and included presentations by the most interesting (in my view) contemporary scholars in tort law, John Goldberg and Ben Zipursky.
The highlight of the session for me, though, was the presentation of the Prosser Award for outstanding achievement in the field to Aaron Twerski of Brooklyn Law. I've long admired Twerski's work and his central role in drafting the Third Restatement on Products Liability. What I did not know--and was recounted by Twerski in his short acceptance speech on Friday--was that he almost did not become a law professor were it not for some good fortune in 1967. Twerski was at the time a teaching fellow at Harvard Law School, which provided an automatic path into a law teaching position. But Twerski (a Hasidic Jew) alone among his colleagues that year did not get a teaching position because, as he put it (and I am quoting here from memory), "I looked like this," pointing to his skullcap and his long beard, and "people were more straightforward about such things back then than they are now." Late in the year, however, he received a call from John Murray (then the acting dean at Duquesne) inviting him to fill a teaching position vacated on account of an unexpected retirement.
As Twerski recounted the story, were it not for that offer some 50 years ago, he would have returned to practice and never set out on his academic career. He concluded, "I would like to think such discrimination is a thing of the past, but I fear it is not." I was especially moved to learn that John Murray (a Catholic and later dean at Villanova Law and president of Duquesne, who died last year) and a Catholic university played such an important role in launching Twerski's distinguished career.

G.K. Chesterton on Saint Thomas Becket
A reflection for today's Feast of Saint Thomas Becket:
Becket was a type of those historic times in which it is really very practical to be impracticable. The quarrel which tore him from his friend's side cannot be appreciated in the light of those legal and constitutional debates which the misfortunes of the seventeenth century have made so much of in more recent history. To convict St. Thomas of illegality and clerical intrigue, when he set the law of the Church against that of the State, is about as adequate as to convict St. Francis of bad heraldry when he said he was the brother of the sun and moon. There may have been heralds stupid enough to say so even in that much more logical age, but it is no sufficient way of dealing with visions or with revolutions. St. Thomas of Canterbury was a great visionary and a great revolutionist, but so far as England was concerned his revolution failed and his vision was not fulfilled. We are therefore told in the text-books little more than that he wrangled with the King about certain regulations; the most crucial being whether "criminous clerks" should be punished by the State or the Church. And this was indeed the chief text of the dispute; but to realise it we must reiterate what is hardest for modern England to understand—the nature of the Catholic Church when it was itself a government, and the permanent sense in which it was itself a revolution.
It is always the first fact that escapes notice; and the first fact about the Church was that it created a machinery of pardon, where the State could only work with a machinery of punishment. It claimed to be a divine detective who helped the criminal to escape by a plea of guilty. It was, therefore, in the very nature of the institution, that when it did punish materially it punished more lightly. If any modern man were put back in the Becket quarrel, his sympathies would certainly be torn in two; for if the King's scheme was the more rational, the Archbishop's was the more humane. And despite the horrors that darkened religious disputes long afterwards, this character was certainly in the bulk the historic character of Church government. It is admitted, for instance, that things like eviction, or the harsh treatment of tenants, was practically unknown wherever the Church was landlord. The principle lingered into more evil days in the form by which the Church authorities handed over culprits to the secular arm to be killed, even for religious offences. In modern romances this is treated as a mere hypocrisy; but the man who treats every human inconsistency as a hypocrisy is himself a hypocrite about his own inconsistencies.
Our world, then, cannot understand St. Thomas, any more than St. Francis, without accepting very simply a flaming and even fantastic charity, by which the great Archbishop undoubtedly stands for the victims of this world, where the wheel of fortune grinds the faces of the poor. He may well have been too idealistic; he wished to protect the Church as a sort of earthly paradise, of which the rules might seem to him as paternal as those of heaven, but might well seem to the King as capricious as those of fairyland. But if the priest was too idealistic, the King was really too practical; it is intrinsically true to say he was too practical to succeed in practice. There re-enters here, and runs, I think, through all English history, the rather indescribable truth I have suggested about the Conqueror; that perhaps he was hardly impersonal enough for a pure despot. The real moral of our mediæval story is, I think, subtly contrary to Carlyle's vision of a stormy strong man to hammer and weld the state like a smith. Our strong men were too strong for us, and too strong for themselves. They were too strong for their own aim of a just and equal monarchy. The smith broke upon the anvil the sword of state that he was hammering for himself. Whether or no this will serve as a key to the very complicated story of our kings and barons, it is the exact posture of Henry II to his rival. He became lawless out of sheer love of law. He also stood, though in a colder and more remote manner, for the whole people against feudal oppression; and if his policy had succeeded in its purity, it would at least have made impossible the privilege and capitalism of later times. But that bodily restlessness which stamped and spurned the furniture was a symbol of him; it was some such thing that prevented him and his heirs from sitting as quietly on their throne as the heirs of St. Louis. He thrust again and again at the tough intangibility of the priests' Utopianism like a man fighting a ghost; he answered transcendental defiances with baser material persecutions; and at last, on a dark and, I think, decisive day in English history, his word sent four feudal murderers into the cloisters of Canterbury, who went there to destroy a traitor and who created a saint.

Catholic Doctrine on the God of Islam
Following on Tom's post about the matter at Wheaton College and the question of whether Christians and Muslims "worship the same God," it is worth pointing out that the question is a settled one in Catholic doctrine. Nostra Aetate (Vatican II's Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions) states:
3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.
Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems, this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom. (emphasis added)
That still leaves, of course, various and important questions to be explored about this doctrinal claim and its political-theological significance. I commend a recent article in Theological Studies (here for those with institutional subscriptions) by Anna Bonta Moreland (my wife).

Catholic Universities and Unions, Again
Over at NCR, Michael Sean Winters has a post about the latest case involving adjunct faculty unionization efforts at Catholic universities, this time at Loyola-Chicago (following on similar cases at Seattle University, St. Xavier in Chicago, Manhattan College, Duquesne, and others). Those schools (along with the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities in amicus briefs) have been engaged in an argument with the National Labor Relations Board for the past few years about NLRB jurisdiction over adjunct faculty unions. I've written about the issue previously here at MOJ.
At the outset, I resist the characterization (though understand why it would be rhetorically effective, especially in a Catholic setting) to frame this issue as one of being "for" or "against" unions. Before this is a freewheeling debate about Catholic social teaching or the value of unions, NLRB jurisdiction over adjunct faculty collective bargaining at Catholic universities is a straightforward and narrow question of statutory interpretation. Absent clear congressional intent to place teachers at religious institutions under the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Act, the canon of constitutional avoidance requires that the statute be interpreted so as to avoid raising First Amendment problems. That is the unambiguous holding of the Supreme Court's decision in NLRB v. Catholic Bishop in 1979 (and for reasons that Doug Laycock classically expressed here). Every subsequent decision in the circuit courts looking at NLRB jurisdiction over religiously affiliated universities—from then-Judge Breyer's controlling opinion in Universidad Central de Bayanom v. NLRB, 793 F.2d 383 (1st Cir. 1986) (en banc) (Breyer, J., for half of an equally divided court), to the D.C. Circuit's opinion in University of Great Falls v. NLRB, 278 F.3d 1335 (D.C. Cir. 2002)—agrees with that interpretation of the NLRA's scope. The legal argument against NLRB jurisdiction over adjunct faculty unions at religiously affiliated schools (absent congressional amendment of the NLRA or a Supreme Court case revisiting Catholic Bishop) is about as clear as you can get.
But that hasn't stopped the NLRB from engaging in more than 30 years' worth of conceptual gymnastics to avoid the implications of those holdings (grounded in the Board's non-acquiescence to circuit court precedents, see D.L. Baker, Inc., 351 NLRB 515, 529, fn. 42 (2007)). As I noted after the Board's decision in the Pacific Lutheran case, the test now applied for withholding NLRB jurisdiction over faculty is whether the university "hold[s] out faculty as performing a specific religious function," which requires, for example, findings about whether and which faculty engage in "religious indoctrination" (whatever that is) or whether the school has a commitment to academic freedom. (As an aside, I should clarify that this applies only to non tenure-track faculty, as tenure-track faculty are deemed "managerial employees" under the Supreme Court's decision in NLRB v. Yeshiva University in 1980.) And, again, this means that the Board is exercising its judgment about the incompatibility of academic freedom with a religious mission or whether only faculty engaging in "religious indoctrination" are serving the mission of a school, both propositions that are widely rejected in American Catholic higher education. This inquiry, just as the earlier "substantially religious character" test, poses a serious risk of entanglement in the mission of religiously affiliated schools, a risk not posed by regulations about, say, asbestos or lead paint (which Winters cites for his argument).
A quick concluding point about how this comports with Catholic teaching on the rights of workers to organize. As argued in detail by Kathleen Brady in this article, there should be some hesitation before simply assimilating Catholic social teaching on unions to the NLRA's framework. As Kathleen notes, Rerum Novarum and successive papal social encyclicals emphasize the fundamentally cooperative relationship between management and labor, not the conflict and balancing of interests that marks the approach of the NLRA. That cooperative vision of labor relations—and not the NLRB's cramped definition of what constitutes a religious institution—should serve as our guide for resolving this debate.

Herbert McCabe, OP on the Immaculate Conception
Reposting from 2014:
We often remark here at Mirror of Justice that the central questions of Catholic legal theory are those of human anthropology and human nature. (Even if, like Elizabeth Anscombe, I'm not at all sure that [modern] reflection on "the self" is a meaningful or important philosophical question, see Faith in a Hard Ground: Essays on Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics at p. 67.) On what it means for said human nature to be redeemed, here is an excerpt from a homily by my late friend Herbert McCabe, OP on today's feast:
In Mary the redemption reaches down to the roots. In us it is not yet radical, but through our death in Christ and our resurrection in him it is to become so. So far we are only sacramentally redeemed, in the sacramental death and resurrection of baptism - this is something real, it is not merely play-acting, but it is only sacramental, it is not yet in our flesh. The redemption of Mary is pre-sacramental, she does not need baptism or Eucharist, she needs Christ only and has him in her existence in her very flesh. For this reason her redemption, which is pre-sacramental, is a sign and foretaste of the post-sacramental, the life of the risen body, the future kingdom. Her Assumption is the beginning of the resurrection of all who are taken up into Christ's resurrection.
This, then, is how we are to cash the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. This is the difference in practice that the doctrine makes. We are not to look for this difference in the biography of Our Lady, in her character or in her behaviour. In this sense the doctrine is not about that. It is not, for instance, about the fact that she committed no sin. You could hold, as Thomas Aquinas did, that she was sinless and still deny, as he did, the Immaculate Conception. The Immaculate Conception does not make that sort of difference to Mary; it did not make any noticeable difference to her - as I have suggested there is no reason to suppose that she knew about it. What it makes a difference to is our understanding of what it means for her to be redeemed and therefore what it will eventually mean for us to be redeemed. To assert this doctrine is to assert the mysterious fact that our holiness will not stop short of the roots of our being, that we too are to become radically holy.
And this is a strange doctrine. At the moment we are forgiven sinners; we are forgiven but we are people who have been sinners, we have been subject to the sin of the world, moreover we have at times opted for the sin of the world. Both things are true: we have contrition for our sins even as we celebrate our forgiveness. Being realistic and honest and therefore contrite about our sins is the sign and result of our being forgiven. (That is why confession is an important part of the sacrament of Penance.)
What we celebrate on the feast of the Immaculate Conception is that Christ's love for us brings us further than this. What he wants for us is not just that we should be forgiven sinners but that we should be as though sin had never been. Redemption for us will involve a rebirth from an immaculate conception. Our redemption will not just be the successful end of a journey, the triumphant culmination of the history of man, but in some utterly mysterious way we will be freed from our history, or our history will be taken up into some totally new pattern in which even our sins become part of our holiness. We will somehow be able to accept them as God accepts them. There will be no more sorrow for sin, no more remorse over the past, no more contrition; we will be radically and totally free: 'And all things shall be well and all manner of things shall be well ... when the fire and the rose are one' (God Matters, pp. 213-14).

Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture Fall Conference Recap—and a Model for Catholic Universities
The annual fall conference of the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture was this past weekend, and, as Rick and I previewed last week, featured a blockbuster lineup of presentations. Nowhere in the Catholic world, I'd submit, is there a more robust annual academic event of such intellectual breadth and depth, and the Center's Director, Carter Snead, and his staff should be commended for their hard work that results in such success.
Particular highlights for me were the opening address by Remi Brague on freedom and creation, a paper by Alasdair MacIntyre on justifications for coercion, Jonathan Lear (long one of my intellectual heroes) on Aristotle and Freud, Elizabeth Lev and John Haldane on modern art, a debate between Father Martin Rhonheimer and Thomas Pink on the interpretation of Vatican II's Dignitatis Humanae, and a panel on vowed religious life and freedom with two good friends, Sister Maria Evangelista Fernandez, OSB and Brother Bryan Kerns, OSA. Rick, Father Thomas Joseph White, OP, and I participated in a panel on religious freedom—its natural law basis (White), the conditions for it in civil society (Garnett), and problems in defining what counts as a religious institution for purposes of legal exemptions (Moreland). Of course, there are also the joys of sharing meals and time together with hundreds of scholars and students from around the world.
And there is a larger point to be made about this moment at Notre Dame and in Catholic higher education generally. As I mentioned last week, I am spending this academic year on leave at Notre Dame as the Mary Ann Remick Senior Visiting Fellow at the Center for Ethics for Ethics and Culture (and my wife, Anna Bonta Moreland, is the Myser Fellow in the Center this year). The Center for Ethics and Culture is a model for Catholic intellectual engagement with undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty at Notre Dame that other universities would be wise to explore and emulate. The Center's Sorin Fellows program integrates undergraduates into the work of the Center and places them in contact with faculty (as an example, Anna and I hosted a dinner with four Sorin Fellows at our home last month). A Mission Hiring initiative identifies graduate fellows and faculty who can make vital contributions to Notre Dame's Catholic identity.
There is a well-worn tendency to despair about the future of Catholic higher education, even at those schools such as Notre Dame where the commitment to Catholic identity seems to me exceptionally strong. Since I was an undergraduate at Notre Dame and then through graduate school at Boston College and in faculty and administrative roles at Villanova, I have seen more than 20 years of debate over curriculum, faculty hiring, and student life at Catholic universities. Those who would despair should light a candle rather than curse the darkness by creating and supporting initiatives such as the Center for Ethics and Culture—if such initiatives continue, then the future of Catholic universities in the United States is bright indeed.

CAPE GIRARDEAU -- The Southeast Missouri State University Athletic Hall of Fame will induct its second class on Saturday, Oct. 25.
Three teams and 12 individuals will make up this year's Hall of Fame class.
The teams selected are the 1937 and 1955 football teams that were both unbeaten and the 1991 gymnastics team that won the USGF national title and finished fourth in the NCAA Division I Regional.
Individuals selected include the late Wayne Goddard, 1937 football Little All-American who later served as head football coach at Southeast from 1947 to 1951; Herb Mulkey (1942), a track and basketball standout who held a number of track records; the late Diz Anderson, named to the 1946 football Little All-America second team as a center and linebacker; Tom Upton (1949), basketball standout and team captain who played professional baseball for the St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators; John Wittenborn (1957), a standout lineman and kicker who played several years in the National Football League; Kermit Meystedt (1967), single game basketball scoring leader at Southeast with 52 points in a 1967 game; Curtis Williams (1967), the first African-American athlete at Southeast who was a standout in both basketball and track; Walter Smallwood (1969), all-conference football and track standout who held a number of football rushing records; Clark Wille (1971), track All-American who won seven state titles as a high school track coach and three national titles as a collegiate track coach; Rick Attig (1974), track All-American and football all-conference, also an Olympic track coach in 1988; Cherie Peterson (1991), All-American gymnast who was a two-time national champion; and Pam Kirsch (1993), volleyball Academic All-American who was the 1993 Ohio Valley Conference Female Athlete of the Year.
"We feel we again have an outstanding group of inductees," said Richard Eichhorst, Hall of Fame Committee chairman. "It is a large induction class, but with our Hall of Fame just beginning last year, we have a lot of catching up to do."
The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be at the Show-Me Center on Saturday, October 25 and the inductees will also be introduced at the Hall of Fame football game vs. Murray State at 6 p.m. on Oct. 25.

What if
I agree that ultimate responsibility does have to go to the manager (as does the credit I might add) if we cannot turn things around, which is why I expect to join those calling for his head if that comes to pass. And, I understand you've had a fundamental change of heart on the boss. But I think it's a fair proposition to give him till the end of the season, and therefore allow his to rise above, or hang himself.
But if he is able to rise above, I think credit where credit is due. Mind you, and I don't necessarily count you in this statement, I think the more likely outcome is silence from some quarters. Its strange how some of the most frequent posters at the moment were all but non existent on these boards when we were chasing the title last season. Got a feeling if Rafa fails the volume on here will get very loud, but if he succeeds many will be either silent, or posting under different ID's.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

No Dave if he turns the season around I will quite happily post a thread congratulating him, but the fact is IF he does turn the season around it doesn't give him a free pass to continue managing.
I think it his managerial techniques that is killing us.
Read an interesting article with Alonso talking about Benitez and saying how he almost robotic with the team, there is no friendship or man management, he's the manager their the players and that's it.
these days Dave more and more players needs man managers to get the best from them abd IMO Mourinhio and MON are two of the best around that could take on Liverpool and improve the state of our team.

That is why I did count you out from the silent lot. You do come on here win or loose to post your point of view. But as you know you're a minority amongst those who want Rafa out when it comes to posting after good results.
On the Alonso article I think it can be read both ways. Yes he was clear on Rafa's style not having the personal touch, but he was also very clear in his respect for him as a manager also. While I agree it would be nice if Rafa had a bit more of the so called man manager skills, to be honest I think too much can be read into that line of thinking.
Sure it would be nice to have a manager who'll put his arm around a player to get the best out of him, but sometimes it's a boot flying across the changing room that is in order (something I also doubt Rafa would do). If these highly paid players want a bit of love, they've got model girlfriends or wives, agents that will take care of their every need, and hangers on willing to lick what ever needs moistening. But at the end of the day, its 11 lads on the pitch, and if they don't have enough character to get on with it without a fat Spaniard giving them a hug, then not sure they belong in a competitive sport, let alone Liverpool FC.

"5.0 out of 5 stars buried treasures and new music, April 4, 2012 By P. Strickland - Hwy 52 (MP3 Download) Goldberg and HWY 52 played in the Twin Cities and around Minnesota during the late 1970's. In the past decade Goldberg has released a handful of ambitious CD's, all worth hearing. This reunion, however, is his first album with his old band to actually see the light of day. The result is worth the 30 year wait. Raw and more or less live, it captures the onstage energy and chemistry of Goldberg and HWY 52. The album contains some of the great tunes they were known for back in the day as well as newer material.( I suggest starting with "Red Moon.") "

after i signed up, it took me to a page where it described two other subscriptions that i had been automatically subscribed to.
the first was to the RBG Magazine at $39.95 per month, the second was to the DVD of the Month at $35 per month.
the free dvd arrived but there was no contact information anywhere in the shipment, only two dvd's and a magazine with no contact indformation whatsoever in it.
i am now appalled that charges for these ogoing subscriptions will be made to my credit card during February 2008.
i have tried to email MarksEnterprise to cancel everything but the emails all bounce.
i submitted a contact form at the MarksEnterprise support page but it may or may not have gone through.
it is possible or probable that i will be charged the monthly subscription fees in February.
i have talked to my credit card people and we are prepared to dispute/reverse these charges if i continue to receive the monthly magazine and dvd.
there is no way to contact MarksEnterprise, that i have fount, and unless my support ticket functions correctly which i doubt, then i will be getting multiple unauthorized charges to my credit card.
i have never seen such a business as MarksEnterprize and i hope they are brought to justice soon.
a great place, Hawaii

"Per your request your subscription has been cancelled, please keep this email for your records as proof of cancellation."
so it was my mistake in not using the proper email address to contact MarksEnterprise.
my apologies to MarksEnterprise. they appear to be an actual businesss that responds to their customers.
i wish they had not signed me up to these extra subscriptions without my permission in the first place, but they did respond to my cancellation request, so all is forgiven. i just hope they cancelled both subscriptions in question.

the last email i sent has not bounced yet, so perhaps there is a customer service at MarksEnterprise after all. i will keep you posted.
the customer support email address was posted at the bottom of my order receipt, so perhaps i have been unjustly hasty in condemning MarkEnterprise, but never have i seen a company so difficult to contact, or that signed me up for products that i had not even known about.
