Recording Connection mentor Gregory Hainer is an interesting case. Usually our Recording mentors work primarily in the music industry but Gregory has made a successful career for himself in music as well as film, television, and video game entertainment as a music composer, voice over specialist, Sound FX designer and mixer on numerous projects including: Plants vs. Zombies 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Guild Wars 2, Prince of Egypt, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, We Were Soldiers, Dishonored, Black Hawk Down, and many more.
Gregory does most of his work from Scorpio Sound, his boutique studio located in the Hollywood Hills. His unique skills-set, talent, and setup enables him to do work larger audio studios can't. "From a client's perspective, I own the studio, so there is no middle management overhead to worry about because the owner/operator is also the creative head. This means I have the freedom to choose to spend a little more time with my clients in order to get things perfect versus having to be out of a studio by a specific time." Specialty might as well be Gregory's middle name. "I get quite a few calls for the most unusual or difficult to design stuff that many in-house teams can't quite seem to pull off convincingly, such as creating sounds for creatures, magic spells, sci-fi effects, light sabers and the like. But I will also get the occasional call to do the less-fun direct stuff like cleaning up poorly recorded production audio from a film, or digging out inaudible archival dialogue from excessive background noise."
On top of working in the film, TV, and video game industries Gregory also takes on Recording Connection apprentices and teaches them about both the industry and the craft of audio engineering.

Picture this… It's 1968 in a remote fishing village in eastern Canada. A six year old boy comes home from an afternoon jigging tommy cods on the wharf. He carefully drops the needle on "Rubber Soul", his parents only Beatles album, adjusts his headphones and starts jamming to Ringo on his toy tin drum. These are the humble beginnings of what has become a great musical adventure. After a string of school concert bands, a Diploma in Jazz Studies and a Bachelor of Music from St. Francis Xavier University, Scott Ferguson has gone on to live his musical dreams.
In the early 80′s Scott focused on his jazz passion studying with renowned drum teacher Jim Blackley in Toronto and performing with such greats as Oliver Jones, Peter Appleyard and Dave Young. Settling in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Scott broadened his stylistic scope and in 1992 embarked on a seven year tenure touring and recording with "The Rankin Family".
After hundreds of concerts in Canada, The United States, The U.K. and Australia Scott started pursuing his interest in studio production.

Most of the time, building a career requires moving, evolving, and learning over time. One's "career" is the byproduct of work that's done in the present, the things you do while you're in the pocket, perfecting your craft.
Sharrief Thomas knows about this intimately. This writer/producer/engineer and artist in his own right was exposed to the Recording Connection program when he was recording at Quad Studios in New York City. Seeing our program at work led Sharrief to become a mentor himself. Today he helps our students hone their chops, gain skills, and plan for their futures while gleaning a first-hand understanding of how the music industry works from a creative and business perspective at Water Music Publishing, an independent music publishing and media company run by Sharrief and business partner Big Bug, whose known for his work with Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Sean Combs, and as one of the original members of the 90s R&B group, Today.
While recording at Quad, Sharrief and another Recording Connection mentor, Sax DMA, decided to give a number of RC apprentices the opportunity to earn engineering credits on his forthcoming album. "We had to turn down kids that wanted to join," Sharrief says. And a number of notable artists came in to help on vocals including Sky Heavens, backup singer for Eminem, and Big Bub himself. "It was just the students getting to be in a live situation with real, live artists."
Today, as a Recording Connection mentor himself, Sharrief apprentices students at Water Music Publishing in Bloomfield, NJ, just outside of New York City.

Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, One Direction and now Ke$ha - clearly it's not enough to be a massive popstar, now you have to make your own documentary too.
Ke$ha's filmed every single disgusting part of her life for a new documentary on MTV, called My Crazy Beautiful Life, and it's pretty revealing. The trailer alone features Ke$ha almost being sick, partying with her friends, sleeping in bed and kissing two men.
Oh, and it's all filmed by her brother Lagan Sebert. So it's really intimate. In the trailer, she goes out drinking (shouting "this is my best friend!" at some booze) and cries because she's so nervous about a show.
She really overshares when she tells the camera: "I keep on having penis dreams, I think I need to get laid" and then burps loudly.
Ke$ha also has a mini-breakdown in front of her mum, and hits out at an unnamed blogger, saying: "I've taken abuse from a particular blogger putting personal photos online. But my message is giving haters the finger." Lovely.
There's a bit of a hug with her fans, and she also stalks her ex boyfriend a bit. Sitting on a beach, she says: "This is where I met my first love," adding that "falling in love is dangerous" and that one man has been the inspiration for a lot of her songs.
Driving around in the dark, the singer tells the camera: "This is the street Harold lives on with his new girlfriend, I'm such a stalker." Um, yes, you are. BUT! Ke$ha hasn't given up on love, saying: "I want to meet a man with a beard who isn't intimidated by my fierceness".
We'd imagine filming his drunk sister snogging bearded men in a club was a bit weird for Ke$ha's brother ... but he did.
It's on MTV on 8 May, 10pm. Exciting.

Hi everyone,
A Windows update could not be installed (Error Code 42D9):
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3
So, I downloaded it from:
Download details: SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3
I installed it, but the update was still showing and it still wanted to install the update - but I thought that's what I just did manually! Why did it still want to install it?
I hid the update from the Windows Update screen.
The next day, two updates came in - security updates for:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 and
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2
The update for Service Pack 3 installed successfully but the update for Service Pack 2 failed (Error Code 733F).
I hid the Service Pack 2 update, but it keeps coming back!
What am I supposed to do?
Thanks in advance,

Character Design Fails
Hi. This thread is about character design fails in anime, manga, light novels, and video games.
What got me the idea for this thread is the pic below. I went onto rightstuf.com and they always have some characters from some animes on the top of the main page. What pic is shown is random. I've seen this Junjo Romantica image before. Here is the image:
What I've made note of is some "character design fail". So you can see some semes with some ukes, the anime is a BL anime. Notice how all three ukes pretty much look the same (the one in the middle stands out a bit more, but not by much). Also notice how two of the semes look pretty much the same (the one on the left and the one on the right). Now I wouldn't say any of the characters there are fail when it comes to character design, but the fail here is how three look the same and two others look the same. It is like the guy who created the characters was really lacking in creativity when he was handed the job.
So, what characters do you think have 'character design fail'? Or have you seen character design fail encompassing a main cast like I have? Or perhaps from a couple (two characters that don't really look good together). Be ready to explain your reasons why, because you may pick a character/s someone here really likes and they'll probably contend with you.
In this thread, people can point out any type of fail. Maybe they like the way a character looks, but hate their attire. Or maybe they like most of the character's design, but hate one particular thing about it.

Yeah, just from the characters in that picture, you can see that those two girls on the right look very similar. Are there other characters in the show that look very similar?

I think variety is a good thing in character designs, especially for main characters. I started watching Cat Planet Cuties recently, and the five main females are a good example of a main cast with good variety. Here is a pic of them.
They all really stand out from each other. To me, this is desirable. It is okay if some characters resemble themselves quite a bit, but it is good if they have some distinguishing qualities. Now, think back to the pic I put in the OP, look again at the uke on the left and the uke on the right...if some characters look almost exactly the same, I think that is...certainly a shortcoming on the part of the artist that created the characters.

I have to say that some artists have problems with character design.
> Buriki suffers from "same face syndrome". Although this isn't as obvious in Season 1 of Haganai, Haganai NEXT exposes this flaw when Rika started changing her hairstyle.
> Maybe [Tasogare Otome x Amnesia] has some anatomy problems with characters who are either sideways or in a profile view (half-upfront and half to the side).
> Kubo Tite clearly shines when it comes to fashion, but his weakness is creating characters with unique features.
> There's also Lovely Idol, that may also pose problems to those who have difficulty in distinguishing characters.

- Honestly have no problem picking out the characters in the OP or in Tari Tari.
- Shit like that pic from Asobi ni Ikuyo! is what I don't like, also they aren't main characters at all apart from Eris.
- Talk of Kubo's weakness and no mention of.... "The Heart"?

I think the biggest character design fail is obvious if you take the time to point out how many different shows since Haruhi, Lucky Star, and K-On have featured characters that look suspiciously like characters from those shows.

I didn't have too much problem with the Tari Tari character designs... but yeah, Sawa and Wakana would have benefited from one of them having more colorful hair or more distinct eyes (let's say one of them had green eyes).
While I can understand some disliking "anime hair", I honestly believe its just about necessary (you can call it "necessary evil" if you dislike it ) to have "anime hair" given how streamlined modern anime faces are.
The days of anime facial structure being as diverse as what we see in Mari-Mite is now well behind us...
When anime faces are this distinct, you can get away with normal hair.

Haganai's "same face" syndrome gets very jarring.
My other pet peeve would be about Nanoha StrikerS. I mean, our grown-up heroines, looked like their own young head got glued over adult body. They were supposed to be 19 y/o, wouldn't it hurt to make them look a little older? I prefer Kiseki Himura's take on them. His Hayate looks fucking boss.

I definitely had to take about 3 episodes to start properly distinguishing between Wakana and Sawa. However, I'd say Tari Tari was quite diverse as the plethora of side characters were all easy to identify.
The Sawa/Waka curve is exactly the feeling I got from Yui/Ritsu in the first season of K-ON though. :9

I really hate the character designs for Madoka. I never had problems telling the characters apart, but their very designs were repulsive to me. Often I would find myself starring at the gorgeous backgrounds/settings just so I didn't have to look at the awful potato shaped heads and fugly faces with atrocious hair and horrendous clothes.

Letters from the Issue of June 17, 2004
Pipe Dreams vs. Harsh Reality
Simply put, the Star of Miami ain't gonna happen: If I were Jewish, I'd say, "Oy vey!" But I'm Italian so I'll say, "Fuhgeddaboutit." While Kirk Nielsen's article "Aqua Nova" (June 10) regarding Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt's plans for the Henry Flagler monument and Monument Island are welcome, they bring readers to the sad realization that we are about to lose a landmark dedicated to Miami's founder, Henry Flagler, and built by Mr. Miami Beach, Carl Fisher. I must agree with William Cary, Miami Beach manager of design and preservation, that Behar and Marquardt's idea to turn the island into something they call the Star of Miami will never fly. It's one thing to fly in a jet over Biscayne Bay and have a pipe dream, but the harsh reality sets in when you actually visit the monument in person.
We at ECOMB (Environmental Coalition of Miami Beach) have undertaken a restoration fund drive to return Monument Island to its original glory. Let's not make a mockery of this grand monument. Instead let's work together on the project realistically, not as individuals who only desire to have their artistic impressions immortalized at our expense. It will be difficult enough to restore it. We don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Call for Auditions
Seeking writers and actors (Michael Moore and Al Franken need not apply): Ronald Mangravite has written a theater review I thought I would never see in New Times. In "Itsy Bitsy Drama" (June 10), his critique of City Theatre's Summer Shorts program, he gives voice to what I and many of my friends have asked for an eternity: What about fairness in the arts?

For many years, and even now, the press has had a free hand in expressing a one-sided view, which was finally challenged by Bernard Goldberg in his book Bias. Many of us have just sat back and watched plays depicting the wonderful values of liberalism and denigrating any conservative view. I don't believe I have ever read a review, especially in a liberal paper, that at least asked the question: "Why isn't there a willingness to honestly give voice to and examine opposing sociopolitical views?"
Mr. Mangravite has courage to challenge the "me-too-ism" that exists among our intellectual arts community. Bravo.

Editor's note: Ronald Mangravite's review incorrectly referred to City Theatre's current program as City Shorts. The name is Summer Shorts. New Times regrets the error.
I Go to the Market for Food
Not to be pestered by lonely guys with pathetic pickup lines: I feel I must comment on Humberto Guida's Publix, I mean public, proclamation of his newfound quest for love in public, I mean Publix ("BuzzIn: Tired of the Meat Market? Try the Supermarket," June 10).
It would be asinine to think that anyone you meet these days doesn't have skeletons in his or her closet to some extent. We all have a past. It might be wise to proceed with caution if you encounter someone in a club with whom you absolutely connect -- while under the influence of your substance of choice. But who cares if you're the 99th person to stick your tongue in his or her mouth? There is always the possibility you could be the last.
Publix on South Beach can be just as much a meat market as the clubs that share the same zip code. As a Monday-night (and occasional Tuesday-night) frequenter of said Publix, I've personally fallen victim to the strangest and most uncomfortable pickup attempts.
Example #1: Location -- frozen foods. A thirtysomething, above-average-looking man approaches me as I'm eyeballing the frozen pizzas (damn Atkins diet!) to tell me how beautiful I am. Not very original but flattering nonetheless, and what woman doesn't like to hear that she's beautiful? I smile and give the obligatory "Thank you" and eyelash flutter only to have him proceed to tell me how his wife noticed me and he couldn't let me get away. He points out his wife, who is eerily smiling at me from down the aisle. Then he hands me a ripped corner from a page of child's stationery with their names and number written on it, and tells me to please be open-minded and consider calling on the weekend ... when they have a babysitter. My reaction: silence, shock, and a gaping mouth of the nonsexual kind.
Example #2: Location -- produce. I like to call this one the "divide and conquer" approach. Two Soprano-esque men (think Paulie, not Tony) who have not so discreetly been tailing me for a couple of aisles split up so that one of them is pushing his cart toward me while the other is walking right next to me, as if he were with me. The cart-pusher asks me: "Hey, are you two together?" My response: "No, I thought the two of you were together!" followed by a sweet smile and laughter as I turn and hightail it before their return laughter fades as they ponder whether or not that was some sort of homosexual inference.
And how many single women who dare to stroll up and down each aisle on their own haven't at one point or another had to endure facing some peculiar man making the same stroll in the opposite direction who leers/smiles/drools or attempts some cheesy pickup line ("Nice tattoo -- can I see you sometime?") causing an awkward encounter in each and every aisle.
I could get all pop psychology here and advise the self-proclaimed "BuzzIn" basket case that the best place to look for love is within yourself. But he is probably already all too familiar with the subject of self-lovin'. If you are lucky enough to meet that special someone with just the right combination of substance and style, don't question where or how you met them. The reality is that head games, anxiety, stress, drama, STDs, and toil and trouble are more than likely going to be a byproduct of the often fulfilling, often traumatizing, and always educational journey into coupledom -- regardless of where you meet your significant other.
And a quick bit of advice to New Times: If you're going to start printing Sex and the City-type columns, don't send a boy to do a woman's job.

Please Find the Person Who Murdered My Brother
And don't stop investigating until you do: I want to thank Bill Jensen for writing "Hardcore and Bleeding" (May 20), the story about the murder of my brother R.J. Lockwood. It meant a lot to my family.
I am serving in the military and stationed in Texas. Everything that has happened with R.J. is even more painful owing to the fact that it happened in Miami. I hope they catch the person who murdered him.
Thanks again and please don't stop until the perpetrator has been caught.

1974 FIFA World Cup West Germany
The ball: Telstar Durlast
The winner: West Germany
The runners-up: Holland
The difference maker: Gerd Muller sure knew how to exit the stage. Playing in his last match in a national shirt, he scored his 68th goal for Germany, a record that stood for almost 40 years until Miroslav Klose equaled in September. Muller's history-making shot came on his 62nd appearance, which happened to be the World Cup™ final on the soil of his home country.
Known as Der Bomber, Muller set another record with his winning strike, surpassing Just Fontaine's mark of 13 World Cup™ goals. Muller's 14, amassed in two tournaments, was bettered only in 2006 by Brazil's Ronaldo, who needed three tournaments to set the new record.
The lasting memory: This was the 10th FIFA World Cup™ and marked the debut of the current trophy made by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga. In pursuit of the shiny new award, two now legendary players and figures in the game, Germany's Franz Beckenbauer and Holland's Johan Cruyff, led their countries to play in a style befitting of the dazzling new crown.
Though West Germany won on its home soil, becoming the first country to back up a UEFA European Championship with victory at the World Cup™ two years later, the debut of the Cruyff Turn was perhaps even more historic.
Named for the constant innovator and driver of Holland's Total Football system, the magical maneuver was first employed in a Group Stage match against Sweden. With a defender on his back, Cruyff faked a pass with his right, dragged the ball behind his plant foot, spun around, dribbled away from the off-balance Swede and gave birth to a new era of fanciful, effective, attacking footwork.

Native New Yorker | Cupz N' Crepes | Rock Bottom | Trader Joes | Holsum Bakery
Native New Yorker5030 E. Ray Road, Suite 5(480) 496-5717and1339 E. Chandler Blvd.(480) 283-9600www.NativeNewYorker.com
Owner Rod Ticknor is a very smart man. He knows what people want and they want good food at a good price, especially now. The 35-Cent Wing Tuesdays and 50-Cent Wing Thursdays are one of the big draws. In fact, every year the Ahwatukee Foothills News reader survey has voted them the "Best Wings." Not to mention the $2 Corona, Corona Light and Pacifico beer served seven days a week. Native New Yorker also serves a $5.99 lunch and other value meals starting at only $5.99.
Cupz N' Crepes4232 E. Chandler Blvd.(480) 706-1963, www.cupzncrepes.com
The thought of a coffeehouse and creperie brings images of a prim and proper establishment. Not in the case of Cupz N' Crepes. Instead, you will be surprised to see many Ahwatukee folk lounging on comfy couches in a casual, yet cool, atmosphere. The most intriguing thing is that the menu is extremely affordable. Some of the most popular dishes are the Turkey Pesto crepe for $6.35 and the Nutella crepe with strawberries and bananas for only $6. A spinach, tomato and feta breakfast crepe tasted heavenly and was only $4.50. It's no wonder they've been voted one of the "Best Breakfast" spots, according to Ahwatukee Foothills News readers.
Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery14205 S. 50th St.www.rockbottom.com
How about a cold pint of really good, fresh brewed beer and the Brewery Nachos for two? Layers of tortilla chips with vegetarian refried beans, melted cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, fresh tomatoes and jalapeños with fresh salsa. For $8.49 you get an order of Brewery Nachos, and for an additional $1.99 you can add chicken or beef. This neighborhood favorite offers a full lunch and dinner menu and a $3 happy hour menu Monday through Friday, from 3:30 to 6:30, and during football games. Late-night happy hour starts at 10 p.m.
Trader Joe's4025 E. Chandler Blvd.(480) 759-2295, www.TraderJoes.com
"Quirky" is a good word to explain this grocery store. Since it's not your conventional grocery store, you can bet the items offered are unique. The Trader Joe's brand Chardonnay and Cabernet is only $3.99 each. Of course, Trader Joe's is famous for offering a huge supply of Charles Shaw, or "Two Buck Chuck." The price hasn't changed in years and is still $2.99 a bottle. Bananas are only 19 cents each and the Joe's O's cereal is only $2.29 for a 15-ounce box. If you log on to www.traderjoes.com and click on "Radio/Flyer," you can learn more about the famous Fearless Flyer and even the newest radio commercial announcing current specials.
Holsum Bakery7275 W. Detroit St.www.holsumbakery.com, (602) 252-2351
OK, Holsum Bakery isn't technically in Ahwatukee but we had to mention it due to the unbelievable savings one can receive on baked goods. Plus, it's just a stone's throw away from Chandler Boulevard and Interstate 10. This is what one of our co-workers purchased from Holsum Bakery a few weeks ago:
- 2 loaves of Texas Toast Bread- 1 loaf low-carb bread- 1 loaf multi-grain bread- 2 packages of croissants- 4 packages of cupcakes- 1 12-pack of cinnamon rolls- 2 loaves whole-grain white bread- 1 box of cookiesTotal: only $22.16
But wait, there's more. She then received two free items and filled up her punch card, entitling her to $5 in products for free next time. And, if that's not enough, she received 5 percent off for bringing her own bag.

The Church and Abortion: Signs of Consensus
by Mark Ellingsen
Mark Ellingsen, former professor at the Institute for Ecumenical Research in Strasbourg, France, is a Lutheran pastor, and author of The Ecumenical Movement (Augsburg). This article appeared in the Christian Century, January 3-10, 1990, pp. 12-15, copyright by the Christian Century Foundation and used by permission.

The abortion debate is heating up once again and the issues are familiar, or so we think. Our stereotypes -- especially of the churches' debate -- are well entrenched. However, a study of official church statements on abortion challenges many of these stereotypes. Theological or denominational differences are not at the core of the dispute. Rather, the primary issue at stake among the churches is a philosophical question what is the nature of human life and which philosophical concepts most adequately depict it? Considered collectively, official church statements on ethical questions seem to point to a possible solution to this issue in the abortion debate, a solution that may even point toward a broader social consensus on abortion.
Among the large number of official church statements on abortion issued since the early 1960s, there are three main alternatives: (1) total opposition to abortion, (2) an openness to abortion's legitimacy because the fetus is not a human being, and (3) a mediating position which regards abortion as legitimate in certain exceptional circumstances, but largely rejects the practice because it involves taking a human life. One alternative that seems ruled out by all of the churches' statements is the secularist's pro-choice argument that abortion is simply a matter of the mother's right to control her own body. Granted, the language of "freedom of choice" does appear in two 1971 United Church of Christ pronouncements and in a 1975 Disciples of Christ resolution, but most churches that support abortion are far more concerned about fidelity to the Christian tradition and humanitarian concerns than they are about endorsing women's rights.
Informed observers of the church's abortion debate discard the popular notion that abortion is largely a Protestant -- Roman Catholic debate. The Protestant Religious Right, they argue, has become a coalition partner with Catholicism in the struggle against abortion. However, the Catholic Church's position on abortion is distinct from that of the rest of the Christian church. Its position is one of total and unequivocal opposition to abortion. Some Catholic statements, like the 1968 papal encyclical Humanae Vitae, condemn the practice on grounds of the created order, which is thought to be structured in such a way that all sexual expression must be open to procreation. Other statements, notably various declarations issued from 1969 to 1989 by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in the U.S. and a 1984 statement by the Chinese Catholic bishops, appeal instead to the nature of the human person and the idea that life begins at conception. Abortion must be rejected, such statements argue, because it terminates a human life. Yet a third subgroup can be identified. Statements like the NCCB's well-known 1983 pastoral on peace and the Catholic bishops of France's 1979 declaration do not emphasize the doctrines of creation and human persons but argue against abortion by granting priority to the gospel.
Such diversity undercuts the notion that official Catholic statements are uniform. Such diversity also calls into question the widespread assumption that disagreements on abortion inside the Christian community stem from theological differences. At least inside the Catholic Church, distinct theological perspectives can result in a common abortion ethic.
The Catholic Church is not alone in its critical attitude toward abortion. Several Protestant statements -- for example, the Mennonite General Conference's 1977 statement, the Church of the Brethren's 1984 declaration and perhaps the Lutheran Free Church in Norway's 1979 declaration -- have condemned abortion. However, these statements do not unequivocally reject abortion in all circumstances. They more properly belong to the second and increasingly familiar type of church statement -- those that regard abortion as legitimate in certain circumstances, but largely reject the practice because it involves taking a human life.
Proponents of this mediating position in American and Western Christian circles may soon command a majority in the Christian world, if not in the political constituency. Among the most prominent American church statements of this genre include a 1980 United Methodist Church document, a 1979 Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod statement, 1979 and 1980 American Lutheran Church statements, a 1989 Southern Baptist Convention resolution, a 1988 American Baptist Churches statement, and a 1971 National Association of Evangelicals resolution. From outside the U.S. borders have come similar resolutions by the Church of England in 1983, the Church of Norway in 1973, 1977 and 1985, the Evangelische Kirche in Rheinland in 1986, and the Anglican Church of Canada in 1973 and 1980.
These statements employ a wide variety of theological arguments. Some, like the 1971 Assemblies of God and 1977 Norwegian church resolutions, fail to provide any coherent theological rationale. A few statements, notably the Anglican Church of Canada's 1980 resolution, authorize their conclusions by appealing to the gospel or Christology. But virtually all of the statements belonging to this genre argue the case for their critical position on abortion from the doctrine of creation -- the nature of human life. Like the Catholic position, these statements tend to assume that human life begins at conception. It is little wonder, then, that despite their differences on abortion as an emergency measure, American Catholics, evangelicals and some mainline Protestants have been able to forge a "pro-life" Christian coalition.
The fact that the mediating Protestant statements on abortion appeal to the same theological arguments that Catholics do and yet disagree with Catholic statements concerning exceptional circumstances illustrates once again that theological disagreements are not at the root of the abortion debate.
Why, despite similar authorizations, do they differ? The Catholic position is eminently logical. If the created order demands that all sexual expression lead to procreation, then abortion, which interrupts the fulfillment of sexual expression, must be rejected. Furthermore, if the fetus or embryo is a human life, then abortion must be rejected because it terminates that life.
Because the mediating Protestant statements share the latter supposition concerning the fetus, the logic behind their permissibility seems strained. Their statements countenance murder in certain extraordinary circumstances without offering any theological or philosophical warrants. Perhaps the case has best been made by the Church of Norway in a 1971 statement. The Norwegian Lutherans argued that in some circumstances we must accept the lesser evil if suffering and destructive consequences would ensue from a birth.
Such logic is frightening, however. If we can murder an unborn infant who unwittingly threatens a woman's life, what prevents us from terminating other individuals or groups that cause us or our society undue suffering? Given the logical consequences of such an argument and the American churches' general failure to articulate convincingly their reasons for countenancing abortion occasionally while still deeming the fetus a human life, it is surprising that this mediating position on abortion has gained so much support in American Protestantism and among the American public.
In view of the stronger logic behind the Catholic perspective, it is hardly surprising that feminist critics of the American pro-life movement see in it the Catholic agenda of restricting artificial birth control and genetic engineering. To the extent that the logic of the mediating Protestant position is faulty, it is reasonable to assume that in this prolife coalition with the Catholic tradition, the Catholic logic might come to prevail.
The third alternative is the more radical Protestant position. Such statements endorse abortion's legitimacy and do not consider the fetus or embryo a human being. Among the most prominent of such statements are ones in 1977 and two in 1979 by the UCC, in 1976 by the UMC, in 1979 by the Episcopal Church, in 1975 by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) , in 1974 and 1982 by the Moravian Church, Northern Province, in 1970 by the Lutheran Church in America, and in 1976 by the Methodist Church of England. Again the statements by these groups cannot be classified unambiguously as pro-choice. Though two speak of "freedom of choice" and a few give no real theological rationale for their position, virtually all the statements of this type are concerned not with human freedom or women's rights, but with articulating solid theological and philosophical reasons for the position they take. (They also tend to reject abortion as an ordinary means of birth control.) Ultimately, though, philosophical, not theological, commitments account for disagreements between the third and first two groups. These more radical Protestant statements appeal either to Christology (especially the UCC, Disciples and UMC statements) or to the doctrine of creation (especially the Lutheran, Moravian and one of the UCC statements) -- the very same theological appeals that authorized both the Catholic and mediating Protestant positions.
Denominational differences cannot be said to have the final word in the abortion debate. Different positions on abortion can be authorized by the same theological argument. The real dispute between these more liberal statements and the pro-life Christian coalition is ultimately a philosophical matter -- the question of when human life begins.
Given the latest medical data concerning the distinct characteristics of the fetus and its ability to survive outside the womb at a startlingly early age, it is little wonder that in the past few years several of the denominations that once took a more open position on abortion have retreated somewhat: the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is now studying the issue; in a 1980 statement on social principles, the UMC moved to a more qualified position; the Episcopal Church and the recently formed Evangelical Lutheran Church in America seem to be in the process of toning down their earlier positions (or those of a predecessor body) The Lutherans defeated a resolution in their 1989 Assembly which would have been consistent with the liberal position of the LCA predecessor body, and a 1988 Lutheran-Episcopal dialogue report refers to the fetus as "embryonic humanity" with claims on society.
This retreat may be influenced by the most recent hypotheses of medical science as well as the general conservative turn of American society. But medical science should not have the definitive word in determining the status of the fetus or embryo. It is also a philosophical, psychological and social-scientific question.
Several church statements which argue for an open position on abortion sketch a view of humanity that may validly continue to authorize these churches' position even in face of the new scientific hypotheses. In fact, it is a view of human beings around which an ecumenical and social consensus may be evolving.
This view is sketched most clearly in the LCA's 1970 statement and the Methodist Church of England's 1976 statement which take a "relational" view of people. The human being is understood as necessarily related to and largely influenced by its interactions with others and with its environment. The British Methodists made this claim explicit: "Man is made for relationships." The American Lutherans state that "a qualitative distinction must be made between [the fetus's] claims and the rights of a responsible person made in God's image who is living in relationships."
The correlation between their relational view of human beings and their position on abortion is clear. Because the nature of being human is to be in relation, to affect and to be affected by others, the unborn fetus cannot be considered fully and properly a human being. It may be in relation to the mother and it may affect other people, but regardless of its potential to sustain itself outside the womb, the unborn fetus functions more like an object for our projections. It does not function in relationships as an independent "I" which relates to a "Thou," not even to the extent that infants and the severely disabled do. Thus it follows that terminating pregnancy through abortion is not terminating a human life.
Very different philosophical suppositions about the nature of human life underlie both the moderate Protestant and the conservative Catholic positions on abortion. In presupposing that human life begins in the womb, they deny humanity's essentially relational character. Rather, the embryo is human merely by virtue of this physical and spiritual substance created by the union of sperm and egg (or at least by virtue of its purported ability to survive physically outside the womb)
The difference between the most radical statements on abortion and the more conservative statements seems to reflect the difference between a relational-activist view of human beings and a view of human beings as static substances, akin to the anthropology of classical philosophy.
It is interesting to note a global, ecumenical pattern emerging in official church statements on ethical questions. Whenever these statements portray humanity their language invariably suggests the relational-activist view. The sole exceptions are those church bodies which take conservative positions on abortion and genetic engineering. But among American church bodies at least, the relational view is employed in a whole variety of statements. (Examples, in addition to the statements on abortion cited above, include a 1970 LCA statement on ecology, a 1979 UCC statement on human rights and at least two statements by the National Council of Churches -- a 1979 statement on energy and a 1986 statement on genetic science.) On the international scene, a large number of statements issued by Protestant church bodies in Latin America, Europe and Africa reflect a relational anthropology. Even the Catholic Church uses this anthropology in a few of its official statements like the Second Vatican Council's Gaudium et Spes, and statements by national bishops conferences in Peru and the Netherlands, as well as the Vatican's 1986 Instruction on Liberation Theology. Significantly, these same philosophical commitments have even been very much in evidence in statements of the WCC's past three assemblies.
Perhaps more important than ecumenical consensus is the potential for a social consensus on abortion that this relational-activist view offers. For in almost all realms of American society's cultural elite, the classical anthropology which undergirds the more conservative positions on abortion has lost credibility. In the humanities, among sociologists, psychologists, philosophers and political theorists, the relational character of human beings, their dependence on their interactions with their environment, is simply assumed. Why should these common social assumptions not be applied to the abortion debate? A position on abortion that is logically connected with this view of human beings offers the best chance for a long-term social consensus.
Christians should proceed to clarify the nature of being human. Because disagreements about the nature of the Christian faith are not at stake in the abortion controversy, this task could be undertaken ecumenically, aiming at transdenominational consensus. It may be that the relational view of humanity embedded in the social statements of so many traditions already offers that kind of convergence.

- "Be patient, Thomas. It's only a few months to wait now!"
- — Edward
Thomas' Tree is a magazine story.
It is Spring on Sodor and every day Thomas likes to admire a tree in a garden near the last station on his branch line. The tree was covered in colourful blossom, but as the days pass, the blossoms kept falling off until the tree was completely bare. Thomas was disappointed and told Edward about it. Edward explained that the blossoms would return next Spring.
As the weather grew warmer, the tree became covered in green leaves. Towards the end of summer, Thomas noticed the tree was covered in juicy red apples. Thomas thought the apples were nice - but not as nice as the blossom. Over the next few weeks, leaves started dropping off the tree until there were none left at all and the tree began to sparkle in the icy weather.
When winter drew to an end, the weather started to become warm again. Spring had returned and so had the blossoms. Thomas was glad the beautiful blossoms had returned, but he had to admit that all the other seasons were beautiful too.

The Treasurer, Wayne Swan, talked of a "tough budget'' for his fourth effort but did he set off a wave of panic on dealing desks last night? Not really. And he was never going to. It's been years since a federal budget set off alarm bells for traders and investors and this budget didn't buck the trend with no real profound surprises or policy shifts.
The dollar barely moved and was hovering at about $US1.0775 after Swan's speech. Bond futures, having idled in small ranges all day, didn't really trouble the scorers.
The popular talk doing the rounds before the night centred on next year's starting position and what, if anything, the government could do to alleviate the inflation pressures that late last week had the Reserve Bank of Australia talking about rate rises as early as June.
As Swan has been at the helm of the nation's largest budget deficit and although he was given some kudos for steering the economy through the global financial crisis it's fair to say overly loose fiscal policy has helped drive inflation higher, along with the mining boom and terms of trade.
So the budget was also a chance to rearrange government spending and taxation priorities while ensuring future surpluses were on track to help cope with any future shocks.
Although the deterioration in the budget position has become somewhat of a fetish of late, it really does fade in comparison to what is happening in the United States, where they are grappling with a $US1.65 trillion ($1.53 trillion) deficit. The public debt situation in the world's largest economy is still probably the major issue for investment markets.
As it stands now it is in worse shape than Spain and Portugal and long-term projections suggest it is on an unsustainable path.
For investors it probably means longer-term downward pressure on the greenback and more upward buying pressure on the local dollar. A higher dollar will, however, continue to make life tough for industrial stocks already finding the patchwork economy a major headwind.
But a deficit of $22.6 billion next year in the scheme of things isn't a huge problem and our fiscal position is still the envy of the world.
In many ways, not much has changed for investors over the past 12 months. When Swan stepped up this time last year, investors were in a panic over Europe's debt crisis. Greece is still grabbing attention and earlier this week it suffered downgrades.
If investors think life is tough here they shouldn't. To date, it hasn't been that hard, of course, with roaring commodity prices and a zooming terms of trade thanks to China.
China still holds the key, and although investors will get more economic data today, yesterday's strong April trade result implies external demand remains resilient and China's exports are likely to maintain a solid pace of growth.
Chinese domestic demand remains generally robust although high commodity prices are likely to have dampened manufacturers' appetite somewhat.
