Liberty council addresses school bus stop complaint
A Liberty resident complained to borough council on Wednesday that speeding near a bus stop on Washington Boulevard before and after school poses a danger to children.
"Somebody needs to do something," said Jeff Rhodes, who said he has seen drivers going as fast as 60 mph in a school zone close to the Glassport border. The speed limit is 15 mph.
"It's not being enforced," he said.
Police Chief Luke Riley said his department has stepped up patrols in the area and recently issued 30 citations.
Riley said police will continue to keep an eye open for dangerous drivers, but the department doesn't have manpower to keep a cruiser stationed in the area all of the time.
Riley, a member of the South Allegheny school board, and George Gobel, solicitor for the borough and the school district, said Rhodes made similar claims at a school board meeting earlier in the evening.
Responding to Rhodes' claim that there is documentation of dangerous driving near the stop, Gobel advised him to present it to police.
Referring to the number of tickets that have been issued, Gobel said, "I don't know what more police can do."
Council discussed adding a flashing sign to alert motorists that they are entering a school zone, but borough officials said PennDOT would have to place the sign because Washington Boulevard is a state road.

Kids learn to eat properly when they are educated about their options. But learning does not have to equal boring. Another fun food game for kids can happen at the grocery store. While you are picking up snacks and items for meals, have your children try to read to you the ingredients found on the packaging. If they can pronounce all of the words, it will typically mean it is a food that is healthier to eat. If they get stuck, help them out by trying to sound-out the word. Chances are good you'll both laugh when you pick up a food item that is highly processed and the words sound like gibberish. These are often the foods to avoid, or at least eat in moderation.

Custom Hot Rods?
A buddy of mine (Mike Leeds) has updated his website, thought you all would like to see some of his custom hot rods and, well, crazy street machines.
Fun stuff! Some very nice machines. And Jay Leno in a few - he does seem to have a lot of fun with his machines - and gets them out on the highway too.
Fun ..
Great stuff. The guy has vision and skills to match.
I have not met Randy (CA, I think he is located up in your area. Mike is down here in Santa Cruz). I would love to see the RV that Randy made (the Decoliner). Last time I was over at Mike's studio he was working on the Ranger. Take a look at he rear axle mounting on that thing. It has a center mount that makes it look like it is floating into the chassis. Really cool. I am going over there today, I'll swing by and see if he is there and shoot some pics of the setup.

Day 1 – PDF Conference
Just finished up Day 1 of PDF Conference . The keynote was delivered by our own Mike Ouslander.
He used a presentation originally created by Jim King (for the PDF Expo 2005 tour in Nordic countries) to give an overview of the history of PDF and Acrobat.
Attendance is light (around 100 people) but there are 12 vendors – including Adobe – and the attendees appear to be happy with the very 'personal' attention they are receiving.
The day wrapped up with the Warp Speed Tour, which allows vendors/developers 5 minutes (and there is a timer) to talk about their products/solutions.
What can you say in 5 minutes? I represented Adobe and decided to focus on 3D in PDF. I showed multiple examples of 3D embedded in PDFs, including samples created by Immersive Design, Kaon, Bentley, and our own team. The audience was truly impressed by the possibilities.
On a separate note, on Sunday, I hosted a 4-hour presentation by Leonard Rosenthol called 'Everything you ever wanted to know about PDF' and an early evening cocktail party for out-of-towners. I'm hoping to record this material and make it available on our website.
There seems not to be much coverage of the Acrobat Users announcement at the PDF Conference. Found this on Planet PDF
SHEA: What do you know about the Acrobat user groups that Adobe has launched during the show? What's your reaction to it, and what do you think will be the impact on the industry?
YOUNG: Actually, I don't know. As I have been talking about this, I don't actually have a clear outline of what it is exactly that Adobe intends to do with the user groups. I don't know if it's just going to be a website. They seem to be talking a lot about local venues; having local collections of PDF users get together for meetings with speakers, and stuff like that. I think it'll be very valuable. There's a real need for that, and I can see it being a benefit for (both) the user community and also for Adobe.
The downside to having Adobe be the chief "runner" of the PDF community is then that — just because of the way that business works — is that they're not going to be very interested in non-Adobe solutions to any PDF issues. That's my only concern about that, is just a total, 100% Adobe focus, and not being open to any solutions from any other, third party vendors, however valid or useful they may be. That's the downside that I see to Adobe running them compared to an independent group that would have some Adobe participation, but not be run out of Adobe's San Jose headquarters.
Has he got a point?
In addition to the piece you mention, there were 2 articles on the announcement on PDFZone (article1, article2) as well as the presentation I posted here. Additionally, the same presentation was presented at the PDF Conference to close to 100 people and from that presentation Adobe clearly indicated that the Acrobat User initiative would include a web portal (http://www.acrobatusers.com) and local chapters where Acrobat users could connect in person. The speaker in Crystal City, Pooja Goyal, asked 'how many of you would be interested in attending/participating in an Acrobat User community?' Almost everyone in the room raised their hands. And then when she asked 'how many of you would be interested in starting/hosting/launching a local chapter' over 25 hands went up!
Adobe is responding to requests from our customers – to help Acrobat and Adobe Reader users connect with each other. Is there really a 'downside' of Adobe helping bring these users together? Personally, I don't think so. I think it is a great opportunity for individual users to connect with other users to solve problems, share tips & tricks, and (to be very honest) work together to provide feedback to Adobe to help improve the product(s). If you look at the Adobe User-to-User forums today, although the focus is Acrobat and/or Reader, there is always discussion about either PDF (as a specification or as a standard) or non-Adobe solutions around PDF. I expect this type of interaction to continue in the Acrobat User community.
Thanks for this.
I am encouraged when you say about existing forums
"there is always discussion about either PDF (as a specification or as a standard) or non-Adobe solutions around PDF. I expect this type of interaction to continue in the Acrobat User community".
I work on the website for the UK Acrobat User Forum. To explain for people reading this blog who don't already know about it, the AUF has been going about ten years. Meetings now fairly small but we swap content with several other groups.
New support from Adobe would be welcomed obviously but there is concern about the scope. We have had speakers from other PDF sources.
Looking forward to hearing more about this. The InDesign user website is definitely a bonus so we are encouraging people to sign up for the Acrobat one.

Corruptions of Ministry
Workshop by John Weston, Director of Ministerial Transitions at the Unitarian Universalist Association
The impulse to move from a pastoral-size to a midsize church is often fired by fantasy. The fantasy is that the church as a midsize institution will be able to meet more needs than it did when it was a pastoral-size institution. With a half-time or more church administrator, a half-time or more religious educator, a better developed music program, a more adequate facility, a minister freed up to spend more time on sermons and adult education and less on quasi-administrative tasks, the church will meet more needs.
True and not true. Yes, the church will meet more needs: needs for more completely developed and age-appropriate life span religious education, needs for a more and better music experience both for the choir and for the congregation, needs for more well-crafted worship and substantial sermons. That's the yes. And no, the church will not meet more needs; instead it will meet different needs, and leave some needs behind. The most important need that will be left behind is intimacy needs. No longer will the church be a place of "like-minded people," as the fellowship movement in Unitarian Universalism used to tout. It's often said that in a midsize church people don't join the church as a whole but one or more groups within the church instead, but that just isn't always so. It isn't even mostly so. The larger the church, the greater the percentage of church folk who will be involved very selectively, on the basis of interest, aptitude, and occasional need rather than because their ongoing need for intimacy is met in the "comfort zone" of pastoral-size church. As church size increases, the space between people increases.
That should be no surprise. The space between people is increasing in every other aspect of our lives. Church isn't any different.
Our concern here today is with the what happens to the relationship between the congregation and the minister when the spaces between people in the congregation increase and when the space between the congregation and the minister increases. What happens when the minister becomes a more distant figure, often an apparently more powerful figure, a person who is known by others much better than he or she knows them, a figure who is not intimate "chronically" any more, but intimate only "acutely"? What happens when the relationship between the majority of the congregation and the minister is one-sided?
Some of the best thinking, in my opinion, about the relationship between a congregant and a minister in a midsize congregation has been done not by ministers but by psychoanalysts. The kinds of emotional spillover therapists get from clients, called "transference," ministers get from congregants. An example of transference is when a congregant brings to the minister the emotional responses coming from the congregant's relationship with his or her father or mother. Let me be concrete. A minister I know was finding it very difficult to relate to a man in his early forties who was quite active in the church. I'll call him George. George would speak sharply, even bitterly, both to the minister and to other people when the minister was around. In fact the best way for a congregant to become the object of the George's sharp tongue was to appear to approve of the minister. Finally, after a confrontation with the minister George became very angry, refused all offers of meeting, and wrote a scalding letter resigning from the church. The minister later learned from a person who knew George very well that George had behaved similarly with his bosses at work and with another minister at another church. The person had reason to believe that George's father had rejected him when he was a teenager, and George could not rest until he was rejected by others who seemed to him to be in positions of authority.
That's a pretty drastic example, but it illustrates, in an overstated way, the kinds of responses ministers in midsize churches can elicit. Such reactions may not be quite so common or quite so hot in pastoral-size churches, because the congregants are more intimate with each other, and because the minister is less distant and often less likely to appear as a figure of authority.
But I don't want to create the idea that my subject is congregants who are leading troubled lives. Not at all. People leading troubled lives, and people leading successful and productive lives—all people—have emotional needs that can only be met in relationships. What I want to do in the rest of my time is to continue to use the psychoanalytic lens to outline a theology of church, a theology of the minister-congregant relation, and a theology of the minister's function. My goal is to describe three things: 1) what is church "for"?—what is the purpose of church?; 2) what is the minister-congregant relationship "for"?—how does that relationship help the church fulfill its purpose?; and 3) to what corruptions is the function of the minister subject, and how do those corruptions corrupt the church? I am drawing very broadly on the thinking of the psychoanalyst and Unitarian Universalist Heinz Kohut in my first two points.
What is church for?
Unitarian Universalists often, in mind, overestimate human nature. We consistently fail to appreciate the harm human beings will do to each other in our desperation to make relationships serve our needs.
What is church for? I believe that the purpose of church is to offer a setting in which human beings can overcome their distorted narcissism, their disproportionate love of self. "Narcissism" is not, in my book, a bad word. Narcissism simply refers to self-love. There is healthy narcissism, and there is what I call distorted narcissism.
Let me try to give you an example of healthy narcissism. [Stand at the rostrum beaming, arms spread on the rostrum but relaxed, a picture of loving acceptance.] You all know this pose. It is the pose that many preachers assume on Sunday morning, just as they are about to begin their sermon. It is the picture of a soul at peace with itself and with the world, happy in its work, glad to be here, glad you are here, and glad, like the Lord, to "lift up his or her countenance on you, and give you peace." It is, in short, a picture of healthy narcissism.
What goes into such a picture? Three things, I think. One, the minister looks as if he or she has been and is loved and affirmed as a human being by loving and powerful others. As an infant and child and youth the minister had at least one loving and affirming parent. Two, the minister looks as if he or she is able to love and affirm others. As an infant and child and youth the minister had at least one parent who was good as well as powerful, and was willing to accept being idealized and looked up to. And three, the minister looks as if he or she is on good terms with equals: not an inferior, not a superior, but in the same swim with other human beings. As a child and youth the minister had good mutual relationships with peers. To sum it up: the minister feels worthy of receiving love and affirmation; the minister feels empowered to give love and affirmation; and the minister feels comfortable being human on the same terms as everyone else. Healthy narcissism. The very picture of a person who has gotten the goodies everyone ought to get
Distorted narcissism comes about when the goodies weren't there. Maybe it's a parent who was depressed or ill, and so did not have the capacity to mirror love and affirmation to the child. Or maybe the parent was narcissistically disturbed, and so preoccupied with self or career that the child never felt important. Or maybe the parent absolutely larded the child with love and affirmation, until the child realized that these sicky-sweet goodies were all about the parent, not about the child. In any of these cases, the child may come away feeling unlovable and unaffirmed. There are other family dynamics that may lead the child to feel incapable to loving and affirming others. And still others that may lead the child to feel unique, isolated, outside of the overall human situation, kind of an emotional wallflower.
The purpose of church, as I said before, the reason churches need to exist, is to offer a setting in which people can work through the distortions in their narcissism. The old saw is, "church isn't a museum for saints; it's a hospital for sinners." If sin is a condition of separation rather than any number of specific bad actions, we are all sinners, all distorted human beings, distorted in our narcissism more or less. Church offers us a setting in which to overcome those distortions, not by suppressing them, or by repressing them, but by working them through. If church is successful, we will become more able to receive from others, more able to give to others, and more able to join others in creating a world in which more of us get what the goodies we need.
Not by suppressing our distortions, or repressing them, but by working them through. That's the rub. To work something through, you have to let it out of the bag. Most of us keep the distortions in our narcissism in the bag most of the time. If we didn't, our bosses would fire us, our spouses or partners would leave us, our children wouldn't come out of their rooms, and our dogs would defecate on the carpet, and our cats would shred the curtains. We have incentives to keep the distortions in our narcissism in the bag. But church is something different. The purpose of church is to create a safe space where we can let our narcissism out of the bag. Not so that we can act it out! Who'd go to that church, Our Lady of Distorted Narcissists. Actually, too many UU churches resemble that church. But the task is to recognize distortions in narcissism without acting them out—or at least without acting them out fully. The task is to acknowledge our terrible preoccupation with self, to confess our need for healing, and to heal ourselves and each other, bringing ourselves and each other into health. And maybe, just maybe, we can extend that health further into the world.
What is the minister-congregant relationship for?
If that's what church is for, then the relationship between congregant and minister in a midsize church is crucial to the success of the working-through, crucial to the success of the church. Let me not speak here about the minister's function as co-leader with the lay leadership of the institutional church. Let me speak about the minister as spiritual leader. Remember, in a midsize church any congregant sees more of the minister than the minister sees of any congregant. The minister is prominent, even conspicuous, and the minister is powerful. Who was it who said, "Never get into a fight with a person who buys ink by the barrel"? The minister has the kind of power in the church and to some degree outside it that the publisher of a newspaper does. It is the power to influence, rather than the power to command, but it is power nevertheless. But of course it's also personal power, which is a lot more compelling than mere ink.
So the minister is "hot." The minister attracts transference. Whatever feelings congregants have about people who have been powerful in their lives, the minister absorbs some of them. Mother, father, son or daughter, sometimes deceased husband or wife, sometimes ex-(ouch)husband or wife, sometimes older or younger sibling, sometimes boss, sometimes employee, the minister attracts transference. Never, ever, is the minister a simple figure. Other people, shadow people, cluster about the minister, different shadow people for different congregants.
This is as it should be. This is necessary to the success of the church as a place where people work through their distorted narcissism. In being the screen on which these shadow people are projected, the minister is doing an important part of his or her work. But not the most important part. That is yet to come. The most important part of the minister's work is not to conspire with the congregant in actually being any of these shadow people. The minister's most important work is to be himself or herself, and nobody else. Playing into a congregant's need to see the minister as father, mother, and so on, gratifying the congregant's need, denies to the congregant the opportunity to work through the distortions. In the language of family systems, the minister must remain differentiated, emotionally available but removed from each congregant's emotional drama of distorted narcissism.
Before I go on to my third and last point, I want to return to George, who had a deep need to alienate the minister, just as he needed to alienate other figures of authority. As far as I am concerned the minister failed. I can say this because I was the minister. I failed. I did fine at the less important job, letting myself be a screen onto which George transferred his father. But I failed at the more important job, because I gave in and became all too much like George's father. When George was rude to me, I maintained my sense of self. But when George started spraying his anger at a couple of other people, I confronted him in tones that were all too likely reminiscent of the tones his father used toward him. He made me his father, and I finished the job. Then he could reject me and feel vindicated about it. Had I been more aware of what was happening, and had I kept my ability to differentiate myself from George's emotional processes, it is possible that over time, George could have said, "well, not all tall white middle-aged heterosexual men in authority are like my dad. They won't all turn against me." But by becoming angry in return, I didn't give him that chance.
To what corruptions is the minister's function subject, and to what effect in the church?
In a midsize church the crucial function of the minister is to help congregants work through the distortions in their narcissism both by accepting the transference and by not going along with it. A minister who insists that she or he is absolutely unique, and that the congregant who thinks the minister recalls his parent is batty—this minister is failing. But the minister who accepts the transference and then buys into the congregant's game by rejecting the congregant just as his father did also fails. The minister is not mother, father, ex-husband or ex-wife, older or younger sibling, child, boss, or employee—although the minister may recall any of these "transferentially," so to speak. The minister is the minister.
In my job as Settlement Director I have the opportunity to read the ministerial agreement, or "covenant," setting the terms of virtually every new relationship between a minister and a congregation. I am concerned to report that a number of these agreements in mid-size churches seem to me to hasten the corruption the ministry, to speak very frankly. My guess is that many more ministers are experiencing similar expectations, although they may not appear in black and white. I refer to agreements which say in so many words: "The minister will be held to the following performance standards—having to do with growth, staff management, sermon quality, and sometimes pastoral care—and will report to the board."
In what ways do provisions such as these corrupt the ministry? First, they corrupt the relationship of the minister with the board. Historically in Unitarian Universalist congregations, minister and the board share leadership. Each is elected by the congregation. Neither gives orders to the other. They give mutual counsel—sometimes pretty candid counsel—but not orders. These new arrangements subjecting the minister to the board's authority put the board in the role of supervisors of ministry rather than partners in leadership.
Second, such provisions corrupt the minister's relationship with the congregation as a whole. If the minister is being handed performance standards, should not the minister be handed the authority necessary to bring about the changes that would make the attainment of those standards more probable? Move money from this budget line and put it in that one. Fire this staff member and give a productivity bonus to that one. Fire this congregation member and give a committee chairship to that one. The minister becomes the CEO. Cross her, or cross him, and you're dead meat. Of course these things don't happen. The upshot is that the allocation of responsibility and accountability in the church becomes simply unclear. When a time of stress arrives—and stresses come to every ministry—such lack of clarity will sow distrust among the minister, the board, and the congregation.
Third, such provisions corrupt in the minister's relationship with every individual congregant. Consider Congregant A, a fairly active member. Congregant A doesn't much like his boss, who reminds him of him critical father. With a minister who is CEO, Congregant A may easily start to see everything the minister does as just one more dictatorial move by just another CEO. Alienation is just around the corner. Consider Congregant B, a member of the church board. At work Congregant B is the boss, supervising middle managers. How long before she starts to see the minister as just one more recalcitrant middle manager? Consider, finally, Congregant C, who is being given a hard time by her boss, and who sees the board as giving the minister a hard time. How will she ever relate to the minister as minister, rather than as fellow victim? In each of these cases we need to ask, how can the minister, put in the position of being the closely-supervised by the board, assist these congregants by identifying with none of their transferences when in some sense all of their transferences are true?
No, the minister is neither employee nor CEO, and our churches are neither corporations nor not-for-profit agencies. The minister does ministry, a kind of work not quite like any other work, with functions not quite like the functions of other workers, for the sake of purposes not quite like other purposes. That purpose is, to enable the church to offer a setting in which our people—all our people, board members and congregants and ministers too—can work through the distortions in the narcissism and widen our little, self-centered worlds. We come into our churches as distorted people, every Sunday of every year. We need church to work through our distortions. We need the minister to work through our distortions. If we are to do so, we must not put upon ministers functions which reinforce our distortions rather than assist us in working them through. We must ask the minister to be merely the minister. It is job enough.

A CARGO ship has crashed off the coast of south-western France and the 12 Spanish members of the crew have been evacuated.
The Luno, a Spanish container ferry, literally broke in half when it collided with a pier in the port of Bayonne, near Biarritz and close to Spain's Basque Country border.
It was not loaded at the time, meaning it was lighter than usual and the gale-force winds and torrential rain off the north coast of Spain battered it about, thrusting it into the pier when captain Lunel Delort tried to dock.
Winds in the Bay of Biscay, from Brittany in north-western France down to Galicia in north-western Spain have reached nearly 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), making it difficult for rescue boats and helicopters to travel to the scene of incidents.
In the end, the 12 occupants of the ship were airlifted via a French military helicopter to dry land, says the mayor of the nearby town of Anglet, Jean Espilondo.
One of the crew suffered a broken nose, but by some miracle none of them sustained life-threatening injuries.
Captain Delort said they were considering remaining on what was left of the ship until the tides calmed down and then aim for dry land on lifeboats.
The Luno left the port of Pasaia, north of San Sebastián in the Basque Country at 19.30hrs on Tuesday, having been anchored there for a month, and crashed in Bayonne at 13.35hrs.

The horse racing industry-owned ThoroughVisioN (TVN) is considering selling some of its broadcast rights directly to Foxtel or Fox Sports, a strategy that would have a direct impact on its long-running rights negotiations with
TVN and Sky Racing have been negotiating since the beginning of 2013 for an extension to the deal under which Sky can broadcast racing in NSW and Victoria. That contract had expired on December 31, 2012. It has since been rolled over several times without a new deal being finalised.
TVN and Sky Racing have been discussing the terms of a deal that would include television, pub and club and digital rights, as well as the right for Sky to broadcast into TAB retail outlets.
Currently, TVN's own channels and those run by Sky Racing are broadcast on the Foxtel platform, with Sky showing racing from all around Australia and TVN broadcasting NSW and Victorian races. However, TVN's contract to be shown on Foxtel, as part of the pay TV operator's sports package, expires in November.
It is understood TVN management has considered selling a package of racing rights to Foxtel or Fox Sports directly, reasoning that additional coverage would boost wagering on horse racing with more revenue then flowing to the sport in NSW and Victoria. TVN could still sell digital, club and retail outlet rights to Tabcorp.
The two parties agreed to an interim arrangement last week that gave Tabcorp the right to broadcast NSW and Victorian racing on digital platforms until May. Racing authorities are hoping the interim deal will boost wagering and allow TVN to put a proper value on the digital rights.
It is understood Tabcorp pays about $40 million annually to racing authorities in NSW and Victoria for the broadcasting rights. TVN value the rights as high as $50 million to $60 million, though both parties are potentially interested in cutting a deal on international racing rights as part of the package. Both Tabcorp and TVN declined to comment.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A "Collector/Attorney" at phone # 916-236-4575 is calling me 6 times a day at work asking if i have my attorney available, he is foreign and i can barely understand him, he is very rude, says i have committed check fraud at some place called Check Connection. I found online (whocallsme.com) where several other people has complained of this same company and they had no idea who or why they were being called. this is very upsetting to me and i just want it to stop. What are my rights? Do i call the police? I hate to get an attorney to call them considering how expensive it would probably be, but i just lost my mom and this is not helping. thanks for your help. stephanie
You should report this activity to your state attorney general's office and the state licensing agency. Normal collection agencies are allowed to call once a week at work unless you tell them not to call you at work.
You will need to consult with a consumer protection lawyer locally.
1. Start keeping a detailed log of all calls and letters. You should also demand in writing all communications from creditors is in writing.
2. Do not give them any personal information because that is how collectors decide on which accounts to recommend suing.
3. If you are going to make payments use money orders and not personal checks or "check by phone" because if they find a bank account the collector will be more likely recommend a lawsuit the their legal department.
4. All collections are negotiable.
If you are going to settle mark the check "settled-in-full" at the very top back of the check and include a letter explaining you are offering a settlement, keep copies of everything
5. Get written confirmation of any payment plan the agency will accept.
I do not practice in your state and you will need to consult with a local lawyer for protection under your state law.
I have pasted a link to the FDPCA to help you with your federal rights;
I hope this information and generic advice is helpful.

Pour Your Own Beer: City Tavern Opens April 4
When it opens on April 4th, City Tavern will boast 22 beer taps stocked solely with California microbrews like Port Brewing Co, Bear Republic, Eagle Rock Brewery, Craftsman, Telegraph and Iron Fist.
The strangest element in the 2,400 square-foot bar may be the three Table Tap booths, equipped with a computerized draft beer system so patrons can pour their own beer from handles at each table. It's like an enomatic wine system -- for beer. (A nearby monitor displays how much beer each person has consumed.) There's also a large patio with rustic wood tables, a handmade cocktail menu and a small list of California wines.
The impresarios are Brian McKeaney, Ken Kaufman and Dave Northrup of nearby Rush Street. The ambiance is calculatedly gritty, with distressed brick walls and exposed wooden beams. The food is small plates by chef de cuisine Jessica Christensen (Ritz-Carlton - Laguna Niguel/Studio at Montage/Tracht's): chicken panini with manchego, grilled artichokes, peppers and olives, tomato tarte tatin, halibut crudo, stout-poached hangar steak.
City Tavern: 9739 Culver Blvd., Culver City. (310) 838-9739, www.citytavernculvercity.com.

* TSX down 208.11 points, or 1.44 percent, at 14,252.59 * All 10 main index sectors fall * CP Rail, CN Rail among biggest decliners By John Tilak TORONTO, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell hard on Friday as investors fretted about the state of the global economy, sending shares in every major market sector lower. As investors focus on the prospects for the global economy, sluggish data from Germany and a bearish forecast from the International Monetary Fund are raising red flags. Concerns about global growth often have a severe impact on the export-oriented Canadian market and its commodity sectors. Shares of energy producers, which have been under pressure for the past three months as oil prices have fallen, tumbled 2.4 percent on Friday and had the biggest negative influence on the Toronto stock market's benchmark TSX index, which appeared headed for its biggest single-day percentage fall in more than a year. The index has dropped in four of the five trading sessions this week and has shed about 9 percent since reaching a record high last month. "We're into a very choppy phase for the market where we'll see more volatility," said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Canada. "I think the correction will continue for some time." "Canada is getting dragged by the pullback in commodity prices," he added. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 208.11 points, or 1.44 percent, at 14,252.59. All of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red. Among energy shares, Suncor Energy Inc gave back 2.3 percent to C$36.66 and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd lost 1.8 percent to C$38.37. Industrials shed 2.4 percent. Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd plunged 8.6 percent to C$203.67, and Canadian National Railway Co was down 3.8 percent to C$71.70. ($1=$1.12 Canadian) (Editing by Peter Galloway)

The head of the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X said his order is not ready to accept the Second Vatican Council, which the Vatican has set as a condition for full reintegration in the church.
Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior general of the Swiss-based society, said Vatican II has brought "only losses" among Catholic priests and the faithful. He made the remarks in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Le Courrier published Feb. 26.
Pope Benedict XVI recently lifted the excommunications of Bishop Fellay and three other bishops, who were ordained against papal orders in 1988, as a step toward dialogue and reconciliation. The Vatican later said the society would have to recognize the teachings of Vatican II and of post-conciliar popes to be in full communion.
In the interview, Bishop Fellay was asked if the society was ready to meet the condition of accepting the council.
"No. The Vatican has recognized the need for preliminary discussions in order to take up fundamental questions that arise precisely from the Second Vatican Council. To make recognition of the council a preliminary condition is to put the cart before the horse," Bishop Fellay responded.
He added that he expected the church to critically review Vatican II, because "its results are pure losses."
"The fruits of the council have been to empty seminaries, novitiates and churches. Thousands of priests have abandoned the priesthood and millions of faithful have ceased to practice the faith or have turned to the sects. The religious belief of the faithful has been distorted. Truly, these are peculiar fruits," he said.
Asked about his society's long-standing opposition to the ecumenical and interreligious dialogue initiated by Vatican II, Bishop Fellay said such dialogue was too superficial and had led to "great confusion." He said any dialogue with other Christian churches or other religions should make it clear that the Catholic Church is "the sole possessor" of the fundamental unity that leads to the truth.
He said any discussions about the society's status in the church would depend on whether positive results come out of the "doctrinal discussions" with the Vatican. No timetable has been announced for these talks.
