So, the poll shows slightly more people who don't favor the board of education's plan for a new sports complex for Trimble County HS baseball, softball and tennis teams.
What do you think about the plan? Are you in favor of it? Or, do you think it's unnecessary?
Of course I am in favor of this plan. The more sports projects the better, people need to understand that sports have an important role in education, as the matter of fact it's because of sports that I managed to get included in a leadership education program. That was an awesome chance for me.
Although I am in favor of a new sports complex as I have a son at TCHS who plays sports and I am a believer that organized sports do indeed teach some good "life lessons" I am also concerned about a couple of other things as well. We have had two coach/teachers in the last few years who were caught having unacceptable relationships with students and in both cases it seems they had done this before and it seemed to be common knowledge among the students. This is highly concerning to me, who is responsible for screening these people? It seems they are not doing their job correctly and should probably be replaced. Another concern is that my older son who graduated from TCHS a few years ago was academically unprepared for college and has not been able to graduate. He did zero homework in HS yet was honor roll the entire way. I think this is a more basic and concerning reality that should be addressed before we worry about having an expensive sports complex.
I am also in favor of the sports complex, sports are a lot about physical and mental health and I think these should matter as high priorities too. We also have some pretty good sports teams and it would be a shame not to exploit this potential. I graduated from a local high-school and I remained a big sports fan even now, I have my own online betting account just because I have good guts when it comes to predicting score, it's a great passion of mine.
Trimble County is building a ( I was told this) 3 million dollar sports complex yet the children in the high school cannot even bring books home to help them study because the school cannot afford books for the students. I have been out of school for a long time and have forgotten a lot of things that was taught in school but things have changed in school. It is not adding, subtracting, multiplying and division any more cause those names have changed. I have had two children graduate from Trimble County High School and when they would come to me for help with homework it would have been nice to have had a book to look at to refresh my memory or to even know what they were talking about sometimes but there was only one set of books for them to look at but they had to be left in the classroom for the other students to use during class.
Ya know, I thought that school was for learning, whether the students played sports or not. So if reading, writing and arithmatic is gonna take a backseat to sports, all the children are gonna be punished and 20 years from now how many people that are backing this sports complex are gonna sit there and say the kids these days just dont apply themselves and study like we had to when we were in school.
I am a graduate of Trimble County and I wish there was a better curriculum for the students to choose from like all of the surrounding schools. But until we give up on the prayers of putting trimble county on the map by getting a professional sports figure out of our school and try our hardest to get Trimble County on the map by getting the student G.P.A. above a "tolerable" level and giving them options that are offered to other schools then athe children lose.
Why penalize the parents of non-sports players by pick-pocketing them so some kids can play sports? Or the even bigger offense of pick-pocketing the childfree that are already doing this overpopulated world a favor by not attempting to cram more people on it? If you kids want to play sports, you all need to do it privately. On your own time and on your own dime. I guess then you all would realize the horrendous expense of such folly. Paying the upkeep on the facilities, the utility bills to run them, the equipment costs -- Maybe then you all would realize the money being thrown into a hole in the name of sports.
Kid wants to play the violin, the piano, ballet, karate-- all those kids have to go to private facilities to learn and the parents pay. So if you'd rather play basketball instead of tap dance, go find a private facility to do it in.
Oh, but of course we all know how helpful sports is to a kid's future. Just look at Al Bundy --four touchdowns in a single game, yet he's a perpetually broke shoe salesman. I know where all the football and basketball all stars in my high school class wound up. Living at home, working McDonalds or in and out of jail on assualt and drug charges.
Playing sports gave them no preparation for the real world. It did give them a sense of entitlement though, and it is doing nothing for them. It has led them to believe that because they could put a ball through a hoop, they were owed a living and everyone in their lives existed to serve them. They found that to be not true, only too late. But thank god they got to spend four (sometimes five) years getting sweaty and running back and forth in front of a crowd.
So go waste your time on your own dollar, and gets your grubby hands out of my pocket.
I am for the sports complex!!! We need it desperately! We have no lights to practice or play games at night. Some may say well how will that benefit my child they don't play sports? My comment will be sorry, why punish the ones who do play because your child chose not to.

- How to Read a Study Record
To explore whether there is a different response to omega-3 fatty acid rich diet with respect to the hepatic fat fraction % (HFF), triglyceride, and ALT levels between the rs738409 minor allele (GG) and the common allele homozygous (CC) of PNPLA3.
Hypothesis: We expect that subjects homozygous for the minor allele of the rs73049 SNP will lower their triglyceride, hepatic fat content, and ALT levels more with dietary intervention than the common allele homozygous supplementation.

Eligible subjects will receive omega rich diet for 12 weeks with weekly appointments to obtain food records, draw serum samples and provide meals.
Detailed Description:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as one of the most common complications of childhood obesity. It is associated with and predicts the metabolic syndrome, independent of overall obesity. Increased ALT levels are associated with deterioration in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, as well as with increasing free fatty acid (FFA) and triglyceride levels. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and prediabetes increases with the increases in hepatic fat content in a cohort of obese adolescents.
Fatty liver, independent of visceral and intramyocellular lipid content plays a central role in the impairment of liver, muscle and adipose insulin sensitivity in obese adolescents. Thus, fatty liver disease may be the hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome.
Omega 3 fatty acids lower plasma triglyceride concentrations. The subjects entering the omega diet study will be consuming an omega rich diet that is tailored to their caloric needs. This calculation is based on the patient's weight, age, and gender with the purpose of not modifying their weight at all. Weight maintenance is a very important factor in this arm of the study. They will be on the diet for 12 weeks.

Francisco V. Coching was born in Buting, Pasig, Rizal in the Philippines. His father, Gregorio, was one of the better-known novelists of his time. He used to take his young son to Liwayway Publications where a young Coching met all the prominent artists of the day. Among them was a pioneer in the illustrated medium, Francisco Reyes, creator of 'Kulafu'. Reyes was to have a tremendous influence on Coching.
As a young man, Coching studied art through a correspondence school and by 1934 he tried his hand at comics. His first creation was 'Bing Bigotilyo', about a bungling playboy, which appeared in Silahis Magazine. A year later he created another character, a warrior called Marabini, which was published in Bahaghari Magazine. Unfortunately, this series was never completed, due to the outbreak of the second World War.
Like many young men of his time, Francisco Coching joined the guerillas and fought against the Japanese army. It was his unit which was credited for the clever use of coffins for concealing and transporting weapons. In 1945, when the war ended, Coching returned to comics, creating 'Hagibis', initially conceived as the local equivalent of the US 'Tarzan'. This series appeared in Liwayway Magazine and lasted for fifteen years, resulting in five adventure books and a movie.
Coching has taught and inspired many Philippine comic artists, such as Federico Javinal, Nestor Redondo, Alfredo Alcala, Emil Rodriguez, Noly Panaligan, Carlos Lemos and many others. He made 53 comics in his whole career, 50 of which were made into movies. At the height of his productivity, Francisco V. Coching was working on three weekly series at the time.
In 1973, Coching retired, devoting his last years to golf, traveling and his family. He regarded himself as a fulfilled man, with a loving wife and five children, two of whom, Maridel and Lulu, have become prominent artists in their own right. Francisco V. Coching was a quiet, unassuming man and a private person. The perennial answer he gave to aspiring artists who asked him for advice, was simply: "You have to love your craft."

HARPER WOODS, Mich. - Harper Woods High School has changed its admissions policy to get into sporting events at the school all because of concerns of violence at games.
Students from both schools have to show their ID to get into the game and students from other districts will not be allowed inside.
Administrators say it's a move to protect the students and be as safe as possible.
"Across our nation, obviously, schools are revisiting their security policies," said Todd Biederwolf, the superintendent of Harper Woods schools. "We have had a couple of low level incidents and we just want to make sure that our students, our staff, and our guests are all safe."
Students and parents agreed that the new safety measures are a good idea.
"People they get in, bring guns, knives, whatever they're bringing to the school, so it's probably good to look at the IDs," said Exavier Mitchell, a junior at Harper Woods High School.
Parents hope this cuts down on any problems at the events.
"I think it's a great idea. I think they should have to show ID. Maybe that will cut down on some of the problems," said Letasha Wilkinson a parent whose child attends the school.
Harper Woods police also are involved to make sure things remain clam during the games.

Guide to Building Support for Your Tribal Library
A toolkit for getting the support you need from people who are in a position to help you and the library.
Who are Library Advocates?
These are the people who believe in the importance of tribal libraries and librarians. They understand vital role tribal libraries play in providing educational, in¬formational, cultural, and recreational services and activities for tribal communities. If the following people aren't already advocates, you need consider ways to get them on the side of the library. These people include:
Tribal and community leaders
Members of the tribal government, school principals, business owners, tribal college leaders, and members of the local media (including journalists and radio and television personalities) should be in your circle of advocates. Support from such leaders helps to ensure your message will be heard far and wide.
Library users
School children, students, teachers, parents, elders, and researchers are key to any advocacy effort. Decision-makers need to hear about the positive experiences the people have had in the library.
Librarians and library staff
Advocacy is the responsibility of every library employee and should be put into effect both inside and outside the library so that everyone understands the value of the tribal library.
Potential advocates
Many people would be glad to speak out for the tribal library if asked. These are the people who have had good experiences in using libraries in the past, have family members who benefit from the library, or who just believe that tribal libraries are important.

Sam Bullas thinks that Swindon Wildcats need to be more clinical in their bid to pick themselves out of a rut.
Thinking like a forward, Bullas believes the solution to Wildcats' flat form in the last couple of weeks lies in front of goal.
Cats have been restricted to just three goals a game in the last their three outings.
"I think the biggest thing is to start capitalising on our chances, we create them but we have make them count," Bullas said.
The 23-year-old thinks a bit more hard work from Cats should see them defeat Milton Keynes Lightning for the first time this season.
"We have to make sure we outwork them as a team, keep our D locked down, that's for the whole 60 minutes, not just spells.
"It's basic stuff really but that's the way it is.
"I think whenever we've played against them it has been tight, they've been very tough games.
"I feel like we've been close especially in the home games and they've got a lucky bounce."
Wildcats currently sit in the final play-off birth but have a number of games in hand on the team above them.
In order make be sure of their spot in the post-season Cats need to bounce back from their home loss against Bracknell Bees last Saturday.
Bullas called for the team to pull up their socks to end their recent rut.
"It's about coming together as a team right now, everyone has got to step up, it's a massive game.
"It's hard after a loss, you have to try and regroup. Our job is to go out there and perform and for the last couple of weeks we have been a bit flat.
"It can't just be one person, it's a whole team performance, we're all responsible."

SAUGERTIES, N.Y. -- Two polling place inspectors are appealing a judge's decision to throw out their votesĀ along with the ballots of 51 other Ulster County poll workers in the tight 46th state Senate District race.
Acting state Supreme Court Justice Guy Tomlinson of Montgomery County on Dec. 18 certified Assemblyman George Amedore, R-Rotterdam, the winner of the 46th Senate District race over Duanesburg Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk by a margin of just 37 votes, 63,141 to 63,104, but Tkaczyk has appealed the decision.
Tkaczyk's attorney has called mistakes that invalidated more than 300 paper ballots cast in the race, including the absentee ballots for the poll workers, "hyper-technical."
The Ulster County poll workers, Barbara Bravo and Carole Furman, are independently appealing the decision to the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court, but attorney Lanny Walter, who is Furman's husband, said Tuesday he expects the case to go to the state Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, as whoever loses is unlikely to be willing to let the decision stand.
Vic Work, the Democratic Ulster County Elections Commissioner, said he does not have access to the ballots, but most of the poll workers were registered Democrats, with "a few Republicans in there."
Because the poll inspectors are at polling sites, usually not the one at which they vote, they are issued special ballots and given a two-week window starting Oct. 23 for their ballots to be received. As an example, Work cited a worker who lives in Woodstock but manned a Wawarsing polling place, saying leaving to vote and returning would take two hours.
According to court documents, Tomlinson ruled against counting the poll worker ballots because they were received before Oct. 23, although they were sent to the workers on Oct. 10.
Documents filed by Walter acknowledged that the election workers filled out an application for special ballots with fine print informing them of the proper timeline to vote, but he argued the workers were never informed of the right timeframe beyond the fine print. Meanwhile, Work and Ulster County Republican Elections Commissioner Tom Turco have testified they did not know about the rule that the workers could not vote before Oct. 23, according to court documents.
Walter's petition to the appeals court noted a handful of other precedents that generally found in cases where there is no fraud, minor technical errors should not cost people their right to vote.
"I felt really disenfranchised," Bravo said of learning her ballot was thrown out. "To have my ballot swept up in technicalities, I felt really outraged."
Furman said it is ironic that she spent election day making sure other people correctly filed their ballots so they counted, then hers did not. She noted how close the 46th state Senate race has been highlights the fact that every vote counts and encourages better turnout.

Couple of points. Rick and Kevin are best friends, one was the others best man at his wedding. So certainly Rick will stand up for his friend, and you have to figure that Rick has been told of the behind the scene dealings.
Carlisle criticizes Raptors' officials
By Mark Montieth
April 8, 2004
TORONTO -- Kevin O'Neill's fate as Toronto's coach appears inevitable. His first season will be his last despite the improvement he's brought to the Raptors' record.
With that in mind, Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle took the stand for the defense of his close friend before and after his team's 94-90 victory Wednesday at Air Canada Centre.
Carlisle was critical of the Raptors' front office for, in his opinion, allowing a soap opera of rumors and speculation to overwhelm the team's season.
"This franchise has proven over the last three weeks that they're undeserving of Kevin O'Neill's integrity and convictions in terms of what he stands for as a basketball man," Carlisle said.
"The most disappointing aspect of this situation is how it affects their players. Kevin is a guy who wants to win and is a guy who always puts the players ahead of everything else. When you get in a situation where ego and politics get involved and compromise your ability to win in the midst of a playoff stretch, that's got to send a mixed message to your players, and that's unfortunate."
Carlisle said he believes the turmoil in the Raptors' front office will make it difficult for the ownership to attract people who can improve the situation. General manager Glen Grunwald was fired last week and Jack McCloskey is filling in on an interim basis, so the franchise likely will be looking for a GM and coach this summer.
"There's plenty of good people (to be general manager)," Carlisle said. "A lot of it will depend on how much power that person is going to have. If that person is going to be able to run basketball and have true decision-making power, then it's an attractive job. If it's going to be a political quagmire, then I don't see anybody worth their salt coming in here."
The same goes for the coaching search, according to Carlisle.
"It would be difficult for a top coach to look at this situation and honestly say it would be attractive after what's transpired here the last three weeks," Carlisle said. "It's amazing to me the things that have happened. I'm still dumbfounded by it."

Backyard pools can be the life of summer but they can also be unsafe for children if proper safey precautions are not taken. Follow these tips from Life Saving Victoria to ensure your pool stays a fun zone, not a danger zone.
Never take your eyes off children in and around the pool. Active supervision means that your child is consistently watched by an adult within arms reach.
It is law that swimming pools or spas on private residential properties in Australia provide safety barriers to restrict access to the pool or spa. In Victoria for example, every private swimming pool or spa capable of containing a depth of water exceeding 300mm must have a childproof safety barrier.
A building permit is also required prior to installing the barrier. Safety barriers, even when provided, are no substitute for adult supervision of toddlers and children who are playing in or near swimming pools or spas.
To ensure that your safety barrier remains effective you should:

Orioles' power on display early in rout of Rangers
Cruz's 26th homer one of three long balls in first two innings for O's
BALTIMORE -- June is over, but the Orioles' power prowess shows no sign of ending.
On the heels of a month in which they hit a Major League-leading 46 homers, Baltimore -- which tied the fifth-most homers in any month in club history -- came out swinging again Tuesday night, going deep three times in the first two innings.
The barrage of runs, coupled with a solid career-high five innings from spot starter T.J. McFarland, helped the Orioles overpower the Rangers for the second successive night, this time an 8-3 victory in front of 19,150 at Camden Yards.
"It's amazing," Nelson Cruz, who delivered his 26th homer run on his birthday, said of the offensive awakening. "[Steve] Pearce is hitting unbelievable. It seems like every time we need a big hit he's there to deliver. Everything has been good -- pitching, defense and offense. I think we are really showing what we're capable of doing as a team."
The win improves the O's to 44-39, keeping them a game back of first-place Toronto and marking the 24th time in their last 41 games they've collected multiple home runs.
"From one through nine, there's home run potential," said catcher Caleb Joseph, who hit a two-run shot in the second inning. "I don't think anybody here is trying to hit home runs. We're just trying to backspin balls and with the confines and the weather. We've got a bunch of big, strong guys on this team. It's been good, and we'll try and keep barrel on balls and hope they keep flying out."
Red-hot Pearce, who homered twice in Monday's win, put the O's on the board again with a first-inning solo shot off Rangers starter Nick Martinez. Pearce sent a ball deep into left field off Shin-Soo Choo's glove and, after a 41-second crew chief review, it was upheld as a fair ball.
One out later, Cruz who has established himself as an early AL MVP candidate, followed to raise his season total to 67 RBIs.
"The guys that have been hitting them out are capable of hitting them out," Rangers manager Ron Washington said of an Oriole team that has homered in 11 straight games, its longest stretch since going deep in 13 consecutive from August 1-16, 2013. "This is the first time I've seen Pearce. He is a hook master but when we make a mistake, he has taken advantage of it. We know Cruz is capable of hitting it out."
The Orioles piled on Martinez, who went five innings, by making good use of shortstop Elvis Andrus' one-out error for a four-run fourth. After one-out singles by J.J. Hardy and Jonathan Schoop, Ryan Flaherty worked a walk and Joseph bounced into what looked to be an inning-ending double play. But Andrus booted the ball, scoring a run and causing everyone to be safe. Nick Markakis made the error hurt, delivering a two-run double into right field.
Pearce gave the O's their eighth run on a sacrifice fly, driving in his fifth run of the series to increase the lead to 8-2.
"Sometimes, you go through periods and you get some mistakes and you just miss them," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said, "but our guys have been on what mistakes they've made."
McFarland, who watched starter Ubaldo Jimenez get a hefty amount of run support Monday, worked with a lead for most of the night and picked up his first career win as a starter.
Tabbed for his first start of the season, second of his career, the former Rule 5 Draft pick, allowed a two-run double to Adam Rosales in the second inning but otherwise held the Rangers in check.
"Obviously coming in in the first inning as opposed to the sixth or seventh, but nothing really changed," McFarland, who was called on to start with the injury to Bud Norris, said of the difference on Tuesday night. "My mindset was still going out there and throwing strikes and doing exactly what I have been doing."
A member of the Orioles' Opening Day bullpen, McFarland got double plays to end the third and fifth innings, and finished the 68-pitch outing with a pair of strikeouts. The lefty, who ended June with the best relief ERA in the league, gave the Orioles a nice boost and scattered seven hits with no walks.
"Coming off the bullpen, it's tough," Joseph said. "People don't understand. He came out and threw strikes, quality strikes early. Did a really good job with the changeup. Sixty-something pitches, five innings. That's about as good as you can get for a spot start. He picked us up. We needed him today and he did an amazing job."
Righty Ryan Webb was charged with a run in the sixth, with Tommy Hunter and Darren O'Day each delivering a scoreless inning before closer Zach Britton got some work in to finish things off.

Game Warden Takes Storm Prep Personally as Neighbors Brace for Ike
8 p.m. CDT
ANAHUAC, Texas — Game Warden John Feist doesn't call it community policing, but it probably fits the definition. As Hurricane Ike approached the upper Texas coast Friday afternoon, Feist made a 90-mile loop through the middle of Chambers County, checking on friends and neighbors.
Some were planning to stay through the storm. Some were planning on leaving. More than a few were already gone.
"Before this gets too bad, I want to know who is here," Feist said. "If someone needs help getting out, I want to know that, too."
At the Moody Ranch, foreman D.D. Leggett was loading tools into the back of a horse trailer. In another horse trailer, a nervous paint and two sorrel quarter horses were loosely tied to slats.
"We're going," Leggett said. "I'll probably go to my dad's."
After making sure Leggett didn't need any help and that the ranch's gate would be locked behind him, Feist said his goodbyes: "Call us if you need anything," he said.
At another spread south of town, Pine Island schoolteacher and rancher Jean Lagow was dropping off a flatbed trailer and rushing across the Farm-to-Market Road to pick up one last piece of plywood.
"I've moved five herds of cows and 280 bales of hay today, and I still have to get all the dogs in the house with me," she said.
The lanky game warden pulled on a pair of gloves and helped the woman with her last two tasks.
Feist and four other game wardens are riding-out the storm in Chambers County. Other game wardens are staged with airboats and river boats in Silsbee, north of Beaumont. If needed, they'll tow boats south in the morning.
Farther west, 26 game wardens with Strike Team One are ready to move in as soon as the storm passes.
How the Chambers County game wardens will be employed Sat. is anyone's guess, Feist said. They may be sent through High Island to Bolivar Peninsula, or east to Port Arthur.
They may have plenty to do in largely rural Chambers County. Search and rescue, delivery of food, water and ice, and the prevention of looting are all duties familiar to game wardens in the wake of storms.
At the end of the day, as winds built toward tropical storm strength, Feist finally pulled up to his own home just east of Anahuac. The electricity had failed, and the game warden quickly unloaded his freezer and refrigerator into ice chests, grabbed his sleeping bag and several changes of clothes, and reported to the Chambers County Sheriff's Office to shelter overnight.
"I just picked-up all the dead branches in the yard," he sighed, as he drove away. "Guess I'll have to do it all over again, next week sometime.

Living With Arthritis: Health Information Basics for You
and Your Family
What is arthritis?
Many people start to feel pain and stiffness in their bodies over time. Sometimes their hands or knees or shoulders get sore and are hard to move and may become swollen. These people may have arthritis (ar-THRY-tis). Arthritis may be caused by inflammation (in-flah-MAY-shun) of the tissue lining the joints. Some signs of inflammation include redness, heat, pain, and swelling. These problems are telling you that something is wrong.
- What are the types of arthritis?
- Do I have arthritis?
- What can I do?
- How will the doctor help?
- How should I use arthritis medicine?
- What if I still hurt?
- You can feel better!
- Where can people find more information about arthritis?
Joints are places where two bones meet, such as your elbow or knee. Over time, in some types of arthritis but not in all, the joints involved can become severely damaged.
There are different types of arthritis. In some diseases in which arthritis occurs, other organs, such as your eyes, your heart, or your skin, can also be affected. Some people may worry that arthritis means they wont be able to work or take care of their children and their family. Others think that you just have to accept things like arthritis.
It's true that arthritis can be painful. But there are things you can do to feel better. This publication tells you some facts about arthritis and gives you some ideas about what to do so you can keep doing many of the things you enjoy.
What are the types of arthritis?
There are several types of arthritis. Two of the most common ones are osteoarthritis (AH-stee-oh-ar-THRY-tis) and rheumatoid (ROO-mah-toyd) arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. This condition usually comes with age and most often affects the fingers, knees, and hips. Sometimes osteoarthritis follows an injury to a joint. For example, a young person might hurt his knee badly playing soccer. Or someone might fall or be injured in a car accident. Then, years after the individuals knee has apparently healed, he might get arthritis in his knee joint.
Rheumatoid arthritis happens when the bodys own defense system doesnt work properly. It affects joints and bones (often of the hands and feet), and may also affect internal organs and systems. You may feel sick or tired, and you may have a fever.
Another common type of arthritis, gout, is caused by crystals that build up in the joints. It usually affects the big toe, but many other joints may be affected.
Arthritis is seen with many other conditions. These include:
- Lupus (LOOP-us), in which the body's defense system can harm the joints, the heart, the skin, the kidneys, and other organs.
- An infection that gets into a joint and destroys the cushion between the bones.
Do I have arthritis?
Pain is the way your body tells you that something is wrong. Most types of arthritis cause pain in your joints. You might have trouble moving around. Some kinds of arthritis can affect different parts of your body. So, along with pain in your joints, you may:
- Have a fever.
- Lose weight.
- Have trouble breathing.
- Get a rash or itch.
These symptoms may also be signs of other illnesses.
What can I do?
Go see a doctor. Many people use herbs or medicines that you can buy without a prescription for pain. You should tell your doctor if you do. Only a doctor can tell if you have arthritis or a related condition and what to do about it. It's important not to wait.
You'll need to tell the doctor how you feel and where you hurt. The doctor will examine you and may take x-rays (pictures) of your bones or joints. The x-rays don't hurt and aren't dangerous. You may also have to give a little blood for tests that will help the doctor decide what kind of arthritis you may have.
How will the doctor help?
After the doctor knows what kind of arthritis you have, he or she will talk with you about the best way to treat it. The doctor may give you a prescription for medicine that will help with the pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
How should I use arthritis medicine?
Before you leave the doctor's office, make sure you ask about the best way to take the medicine the doctor prescribes. For example, you may need to take some medicines with milk, or you may need to eat something just before or after taking them, to make sure they don't upset your stomach.
You should also ask how often to take the medicine or to put cream on the spots that bother you. Creams might make your skin and joints feel better. Sometimes, though, they can make your skin burn or break out in a rash. If this happens, call the doctor.
What if I still hurt?
Sometimes you might still have pain after using your medicine. Here are some things to try:
- Take a warm shower.
- Do some gentle stretching exercises.
- Use an ice pack on the sore area.
- Rest the sore joint.
If you still hurt after using your medicine correctly and doing one or more of these things, call your doctor. Another kind of medicine might work better for you. Some people can also benefit from surgery, such as joint replacement.
You can feel better!
Arthritis can damage your joints, internal organs, and skin. There are things you can do to keep the damage from getting worse. They might also make you feel better:
- Try to keep your weight down. Too much weight can make your knees and hips hurt.
- Exercise. Moving all of your joints will help you. The doctor or nurse can show you how to move more easily. Going for a walk every day will help, too.
- Take your medicines when and how you are supposed to. They can help reduce pain and stiffness.
- Try taking a warm shower in the morning.
- See your doctor regularly.
- Seek information that can help you.

Smith a late arrival to 'ERA Club'
ST. LOUIS -- "Welcome to the ERA club," Jim Henderson said Wednesday, referring to fellow Brewers reliever Will Smith.
Smith, a left-hander acquired from the Royals last winter, was charged with his first run of the season on Tuesday in his 15th Brewers appearance. Allen Craig's RBI triple off Smith tied the Brewers-Cardinals game in the seventh inning, but the Brewers went on to win in the 11th.
It left Francisco Rodriguez, who has a 0.00 ERA through his first 16 appearances, as the only Brewers reliever yet to surrender a run.
"I never thought I would get through the season without giving up a run," Smith said with a shrug. "My job when that happens is to get people out and try not to give up [more] runs."
Smith did that by striking out Matt Adams and Yadier Molina, stranding the go-ahead runner at third base.
Entering Wednesday, Brewers relievers had a 2.16 ERA, trailing only the Padres (1.81) and Giants (2.06) in the Major Leagues. Opponents entered the day hitting .194 against Milwaukee's relievers.
"I don't think it's surprised us; we believe in ourselves and we believe in each other so much," Smith said. "We feel like we can shut down anything, any time we go out there. It's a lot of fun."
Smith has mostly been a starting pitcher in his career, and he said the heavy workload so far has not presented any problems.
"This is kind of a break for my arm," Smith said. "I don't mind it. Hopefully, it's only 10-15 pitches every outing. I still feel fine every day."

2) Pretty much a myth. I would be opposed to changing the 14th Amendment, though, if that's what you meant. Looking at countries without it, you wind up with generational second-class natives (such as the grandchildren of Turkish workers in Germany).
3) Sound good.
4) Isn't that already happening (departation after jail)?
5) I would agree with that provision.

Amy Poehler
AppealThey don't call her "Crazy Amy" for nothing. Funny can most certainly be sexy. It would be tough to bet against a woman with Amy Poehler's silky blond hair and big blue eyes staring you down and sharing a gut-busting joke. Those talents alone would be enough to win many men over. In Amy Poehler's case, she's already won, since her husband, Will Arnett, claims to have fallen in love upon meeting her. Who can argue with that?
SuccessAmy Poehler's long-running escapades on Saturday Night Live have brought her a high degree of familiarity and when you look at her list of credits, you can't help but be impressed. Besides her SNL gig and a three-year stint on Comedy Central's Upright Citizens Brigade, her TV credits alone include guest spots on Undeclared, Spin City, The Simpsons, Arrested Development, and even Late Night with Conan O'Brien, where she had an unhealthy infatuation with Conan himself. Her most well-known TV role is of course as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation, the fearless leader of a motley crew of government workers played by a roster of hilarious comedic actors including Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman and Aubrey Plaza. The show ran an impressive and successful 7 seasons and is what landed Amy with her first Golden Globe award for Best Actress. TV aside, her movie credits make her the reigning box-office queen among all current Saturday Night Live members. Not to mention the love affair the world has with her and former SNL co-star Tina Fey's friendship, which was put on display two years in a row as they hosted the 2013 and 2014 Golden Globes together.
Not only is Amy a phenom in Hollywood, but she also does incredible things with her fame -- like creating Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, a website dedicated to improving young women's lives. Amy Poehler's dedication to amazing causes as well as basically being the first lady of funny is why she ranked #17 on AskMen's rebranded list of Top 99 Outstanding Women in 2015, which focused on women who have achieved notable success and given back to their community over the past year.
Amy Poehler BiographyAmy Poehler was born on September 16, 1971, in Burlington, Massachusetts. While her father and brother were active in her life, Amy Poehler got to see more of her mom, Eileen, who taught at her high school.
Amy Poehler went on to attend Boston College, where the comedy bug first bit her. In 1993, Amy Poehler joined the college's legendary improv group, My Mother's Fleabag. Considered one of the earliest improv groups ever created at the collegiate level, Fleabag taught Amy Poehler well and she was soon off to Chicago for more.
amy poehler in upright citizen's brigadeLooking to further her comedic skills, Amy Poehler made Second City and ImprovOlympics her outlets of choice. With alumni like Mike Myers and Vince Vaughn, she was certainly in good company. Under the guidance of improv master Del Close, Amy Poehler learned alongside future Saturday Night Live performer Tina Fey. Before long, Amy Poehler was teaching ImprovOlympics classes and touring with Second City.
After one such tour, Amy Poehler was introduced to a local improv group called the Upright Citizens Brigade. With a clever sketch comedy concept and a lot of young talent, Amy Poehler and company moved to New York in 1996, hot on the idea that their troupe would be picked up as a TV comedy series.
amy poehler on conan o'brienNewly arrived in the Big Apple, Amy Poehler explored other options while continuing her theater work with the Upright Citizens Brigade. In 1996, she snagged a recurring "role" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien as Andy Richter's delusional sister.
Good fortunes followed in 1998 when Amy Poehler and the Upright Citizens Brigade gang landed their own Comedy Central series. The show gave her some much-needed television exposure, and along with it came her first major film appearance, as a sufferer of Tourette's syndrome who makes life miserable for Rob Schneider in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.
amy poehler on saturday night liveAfter the cancellation of the Upright Citizens Brigade TV series, Amy Poehler hit it big when she was selected to be a performer on Saturday Night Live in 2001. Her expert imitations of stars like Sharon Osbourne and Avril Lavigne, along with her natural talent, convinced the bosses to make her a full-time performer after only three months, making her the first SNL member since Eddie Murphy to hold that honor.
Saturday Night Live proved to be the ideal showcase for Amy Poehler. In addition to her celebrity imitations, she created a goofy gallery of recurring characters like the "White Trash Wife" and "Amber," the one-legged hypoglycemic. She also took over as the co-anchor of the coveted Weekend Update segment, alongside her former improv classmate, Tina Fey. With her professional career in full swing, she was also introduced to Arrested Development and fellow Horton Hears A Who! actor Will Arnett. They married in 2003.
amy poehler in mean girlsEven with her steady TV gig, Amy Poehler decided to develop her career with film work in 2004. She costarred as Jack Black's wife in the comedy Envy and received suitable fanfare for her turn as Rachel McAdams' mom in that year's Mean Girls.
With time to ponder her next film role, Amy Poehler and her husband eventually signed on together for 2007's Blades of Glory. Excited at the prospect of working with former SNL costar Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler and her hubby played disturbingly close brother-and-sister figure skaters with uproarious results. The film was a big success, as was Shrek the Third, for which Amy Poehler provided her vocal talents.
Amy Poehler's career continued to shine in film and TV. She costarred in Mr. Woodcock with Seann William Scott and Susan Sarandon, and was also the creator of the animated Nickelodeon series Mighty B about an overachieving girl scout. Not bad for an aspiring improv comic from Burlington.
amy poehler in horton hears a who!In 2008, Amy Poehler appeared in several box-office hits, including the adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic Horton Hears A Who!, appearing with husband Will Arnett and comedic geniuses Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. She also had roles in Baby Mama, Spring Breakdown and Hoodwinked 2: Hood vs Evil. She went on to voice characters in several other animated films such as Alvin and The Chipmunks, The Secret World of Arriety, Free Birds, and will voice the emotion of "Joy" in the upcoming Disney/Pixar animation Inside Out -- a film set inside a young girl's head as different emotions lead her through life.
amy poehler in parks and recreation
It's been a long road for Amy Poehler and the talented cast of Parks and Recreation. It's first few seasons were met with harsh reviews from critics and viewers alike. However, with a change in tone and format, the show rapidly picked up steam earning several Emmy award and Golden Globe nominations for the series and Poehler's performance. In 2013, it won the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy and in 2014, Poehler was finally given some well-deserved recognition with her Golden Globe win for Best Actress in a Television Musical or Comedy. Just like her character, Leslie Knope, Poehler stuck it out with her team and continued to work hard despite the negative backlash and it paid off.

I own the written copy but never got around to finishing it because I didn't have time to read. I bought the audio version and listened to it at work, in my car, in the gym and at home. I've listened to this book 3 times now. I was so impressed with the narrator. I laughed, cried and got angry listening to this book. Definitely got my monies worth with this book. A definite must have!
Just another girl with too many books and not enough time for them all.
"Not really resolved!"
I read this book with my book club Mocha Girls Read and it was our selection for Black History Month. I have to say this was a hard read for me. I had a hard time getting caught up in all the craziness of the characters especially Rozelle aka Mama.
Rozelle's character is an over dominating, bipolar woman who has ten kids by ten different men from working in the "farmhouse". I was slightly disturbed by the "we know but it ain't our business" attitude the various people took regarding her abusive behavior toward the kids. I have found that some of it really rang true in the Black community but this book slaps it in your face. Rozelle's best and only friend Ms. Pearl knows she is abusing her kids and does nothing but buy them a pair of white socks for their birthdays.
This book is full of family drama steaming from Rozelle's crazy actions. She is the character that propels action in ever single person and sometimes lack of action.
For me personally this book has too many characters and was missing the big climax. There were so many small climaxes in this book within various circles of people involved but nothing really happened as a result of all the drama. As Oprah would say, there was no big Aha! moment for the characters as a whole or the town.
This was a great first time novel for Delores Phillips but the story was interesting in parts and missing something for me as a whole.
The narrator did an AMAZING job of reading this book. I loved her voice and it suited this book, location and time period perfectly!
Claudette Sherwood
"Very deep"
The victory of Tangy May
Tangy May. Her her quickness that made her "somethin else"
Tangy May and Ms. Pearl
Would not change a thing
Awesome and thought provoking.
"I did not want this to end....."
What an engrossing story. The combination of abuse, and the unfairness of living in America and being an African American in this era is so astounding. I wanted this child to take revenge on so many levels. She never really did, and that was a testament to her character, and how God moved in her. I look forward to more stories from this author!
Well worth the money.
Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.
"One of the best books on Audible!"
Yes! First of all Lizzie Cooper is fantastic as a narrator! The author, Delores Phillips, knows how to write! She keeps you hanging on chapter after chapter. It's hard not to finish this book in one session. It's that good!
There are so many. Just watching the mother become more and more diabolical and her children doing whatever they can to survive is heart wrenching. There are many facets to this story and that's what keeps you totally immersed.
She is undoubtably one of the best narrators on Audible! She has the ability to become each of the characters. She takes on their personalities. I am looking for more books that she narratives.
There are many. This book is an emotional roller coaster.
I highly recommend this book! It's one of the best!
Hello! I am someone that loves to read. I love a story with strong, intelligent characters that have a strong will to fight and survive.
"Incredible Story!"
The Darkest Child was an amazing story! I fell in love with the main character Tangy Mae as she fight to get an education despite the many obstacle around her. Tangy Mae is a character with incredible strength and drive, who loves her family and will do anything for them despite the cost. It is a story of racism, poverty, abuse and survival. I loved this book, as it was very well written. It told a story that kept your attention and left you wanting more.
"I listened to first half then switched to the book"
The Darkest Child by Delores Phillips is soul wrenching horrendous. One would never believe that a Mother could so deeply harm a child, let alone "10" of them, emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally. Rozelle is a woman who is Pure Evil! She cares for no one, not even herself. Unfortunately, the reader never finds out why Rozelle is the way she is. She's hateful, spiteful, souless, and completely mental. She has 10 children by 10 different men. Most are as white as she is with one being what she calls "A Dummy" and the other "Dark as her tires". This is a Mother who pimps her sons and prostitutes her daughters.
They lived in a small town in 50's and 60's back when there were signs of segregation and blacks were no longer slaves but instead paid slaves, maids. The people in the town had just grown accustomed to the way things were and weren't looking nor asking for change. And when one does he dissappears. There are many complex characters in this story. It is a page turner for sure. I just couldn't stop reading about this mass of disfunction.
I was disheartened to learn that Ms. Phillips hasn't written another novel. I wouldn't have thought from the texture and complex nature of this novel, it was her first. I'm sure I wont forget this book any time soon. It is hard for me to write this review without giving away spoilers. There's just too much to tell. Pick this book up. You wont be dissappointed.
I could not wait to get in my car each morning and listen to this audio, I enjoyed this book so much, it stayed on my mind long after I finished it. The story just brings out all kinds of emotions in you. I would love to read more from this author, I highly recommend this book!!!!
Love this story. I thought there weren't anymore stories like this . So glad to find this one.
LIFE just happens that way sometimes!
"Through the Eyes of a Child"
This book was so amazing and more than what I ever expected it to be. This book takes place in the era of the Civil Rights movement and is a realistic view from a outcast child. Tangy lives in a poor household with a single mother who has many children by different men. In the beginning she sees the world through a childs eyes and then certain circumstances and situations throughout the book make her wise beyond her years and makes her grow up faster then a child should grow. She is only 18 at the end of the book and you see she has a story to tell of a life you would never expect a child to go through. My favorite character in the book is Junior because this character made Tangy realize how smart she was and kept her mind on trying to better herself and her situation and was a great person for her to look up to. The Narrator also did an amazing job telling the story and making the audience feel as if they were a part of the story. I could see the scenes in my head and felt like I too was a child watching all the madness happening around me. Great book that I would recommend to everyone.

The Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) in Mountain View has scheduled the exhibition "Revealing the Unseen," paintings and drawings by artists Andy Gouveia and Drew McSherry, through Jan. 26 at the school's Mohr Gallery, 230 San Antonio Circle.
"Revealing the Unseen" features paintings by Gouveia and drawings by McSherry, both of whom are members of the CSMA faculty teaching on-site classes at Finn Center and in CSMA's Art4Schools program for high school and elementary students.
The show includes work by both artists that presents a similar process of narration coaxed out of the medium as part of the artistic process.
Gouveia's paintings each stand alone but together carry a narrative that ends in the world transformed.
McSherry's charcoal drawings come out of discovery, as the heavy coat of charcoal that is initially applied is erased away, revealing the hero or villain who is at first unseen on the paper.
"We are thrilled to be exhibiting works by Andy Gouveia and Drew McSherry in Mohr Gallery," said Vickie Scott Grove, executive director of CSMA. "We are so proud that CSMA's faculty is comprised of accomplished professional and working artists. This exhibition will truly show off the high quality of CSMA arts educators."

Four Honda vehicles have been named a 'Best Family Car' by Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, the most from any single brand. The 2014 Honda Accord (http://automobiles.honda.com/accord/), CR-V (http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-v/), Odyssey (http://automobiles.honda.com/odyssey/) and Pilot (http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/) were honored after testing by the website's editors and real families. The annual list rates vehicles on 'family-approved' attributes like available safety features, comfort and child-friendliness.
"Honda vehicles have long been a top choice for American families, known for providing the kind of safety, features and value that they have a right to expect," said Michael Accavitti, senior vice president of automobile operations for American Honda. "This recognition of four of Honda's top-selling models validates our ongoing efforts to simply build the best vehicles in every segment in which we compete."
Tasked with identifying the twelve best family vehicles, the KBB.com expert editors started with 21 different vehicles top-ranked in their Expert Ratings in various family-friendly categories and enlisted the help of several families to thoroughly test these family haulers. This approach included analyzing seven sedans, six small SUVs, five midsize SUVs, two minivans and one hybrid wagon, from a total of 11 different brands. The expert editors tallied the results based on participant feedback and compared notes, naming the best of the bunch.

I don't know what you mean by legit, but I guess they have a better team than anyone expected.
The win against Detroit was well....a loss
In the win against Dallas Chicago came away with 3 turnovers and only won by a score. That game was more about what Dallas didn't do than what Chicago did.
Green Bay had what 18 penalties last night? The Packers more or less beat themselves.
All that said, a win is a win, and I'm sure the Bears and their fans are plenty satisfied with where they are at for now, although I wouldn't hang my hat on it.

A RECENT survey revealed that 71 per cent of young drivers think they are better than the average driver.
According to a survey by vision Critical and road safety charity the Institute of Advanced Motorists young drivers are 2.5 times more likely to be involved in a serious crash.
Britain's most confident young drivers are in Northern Ireland where 87 per cent think they are better than average, yet they make up 26 per cent of those involved in crashes.
Britain's least confident young drivers are from Wales where 56 per cent think they are better than average.
Other findings include:
• 75 per cent of young male drivers think that they are better than the average drive
• 68 per cent of young women think they are better than the average driver
Contrary to the confidence of younger drivers, official figures show that:
• While 8 per cent of drivers are under 25, they account for 22 per cent of drivers involved in serious injury and fatal crashes. They also drive, on average, about half the distance of older drivers each year.
• Nearly a quarter of all car drivers (133 out of 542 drivers) who died in 2012 were young drivers themselves.
Three IAM chief executive Simon Best said: "A year ago the government committed itself to producing a green paper to tackle the safety of young drivers which has yet to be published.
"Our whole system of learning to drive must be overhauled to provide safe exposure to a wider range of traffic situations, but also the chance to discuss attitudes and risks.
"New drivers feel invulnerable and it is the job of government, training providers, insurers, charities and parents and carers to ensure they have the best training to reduce risk to themselves and others."

Safety and Efficacy Trial of Danazol in Patients With Fanconi Anemia or Dyskeratosis Congenita
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Fanconi anemia (FA) and Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) are inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. The current androgen treatments (e.g., oxymetholone) used to treat FA and DC can cause unwanted masculinizing side effects, indicating a need for a different medication. Danazol is a less potent androgen,and may therefore have fewer masculinizing side effects. Danazol is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of other diseases, but it has never been studied in patients with FA and DC.
The main purpose of this study is to see if danazol is a safe treatment for FA and DC. Specifically,we would like to determine:
- the best dose of danazol;
- how fast hemoglobin (a protein that carries oxygen in the blood) levels rise in FA and DC patients receiving danazol therapy; and
- the genetic pattern (known as expression profile) of certain cells in response to danazol, which can predict how well people respond to the medication.
Subjects who enroll in the study will be treated with danazol for up to 24 weeks (about 6 months), and will have up to 11 study visits, including followup visits at 38 weeks (9 months) and 52 weeks (one year).

- The optimal dose and hematologic response rate in Fanconi anemia (FA) and Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) patients receiving danazol therapy [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]
- The gene expression profile of progenitor cells in response to danazol, both to predict responsiveness and to screen for small molecules that show a profile similar to that of responsive patients [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]

|Assigned Interventions
Subjects with either Fanconi anemia or Dyskeratosis congenita
Drug: danazol
Dosage is done according to weight; capsules are 50, 100, 200 mg
Other Name: Danocrine, Danol, anatrol
Detailed Description:
Eligible patients with either Fanconi anemia (FA) or Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) will initially receive danazol at a dose of 5 mg/kg/d orally, rounded to the nearest 100 mg. For the first 8 weeks, the patient will be evaluated at weeks 2, 5, and 8 for hematologic response (HR). If the patient shows a hematological response (either a hemoglobin or platelet value no longer meeting blood cell count criteria for protocol inclusion in the absence of recent transfusions)within the first 12 weeks on the initial dose, the study drug will be continued at this dose for the next 6 weeks. If the patient fails to show any hematologic response within the first 12 weeks, the dose will be escalated to 10 mg/kg/day for the next 6 weeks, and an additional monitoring visit will be required at week 14. If at week 18, the patient fails to show any hematological response on the increased dose, the dose will be increased to 15 mg/kg/day for another 6 weeks (not to exceed 800 mg/day), and an additional monitoring visit will be required at week 20. At 24 weeks, if there is no response to this dose the patient will be taken off study drug and classified as a treatment failure, and will be monitored at weeks 38 and week 52). After week 24, if the patient continues to show a response, however, the study drug may be continued at the discretion of their primary care physician, with monitoring at weeks 38 and 52.
Should the patient lose the hematologic response on 5 or 10 mg/kg/day dosing at any point within the first 18 weeks of treatment, the dose will be escalated to 10 or 15 mg/kg/day (not to exceed 800 mg/day), respectively. The patient will continue to be evaluated at the next visit. If after week 24 no hematologic improvement is seen, the patient is then taken off study drug and monitored at weeks 38 and 52.

Today I continued my interview with Mark Lynch on my book Death of The Moguls.
As WICN's website notes, "during the Golden Age of Hollywood, there were the 'Big Five' studios that included MGM, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers. But in addition to these giants of film making, there were also a number of smaller studios. Some of these lesser studios produced fine major films like Gone With the Wind and Spellbound, while others concentrated on serials and "B" films. Each of them has a fascinating history. On this Inquiry we welcome back Wheeler Winston Dixon and we continue our conversation about his book Death of the Moguls: The End of Classical Hollywood. Tonight we concentrate on the stories of these smaller studios like United Artists, David O. Selznick (shown here with Jennifer Jones) and Republic Pictures, the films they produced, the stars, and the unusual lives of the men who headed these studios. If you love film, do not miss this interview!"

New Evangelization Requires Humility, Joy and Confidence
BY Edward Pentin
| Posted 10/9/12 at 5:15 PM
The need for humility, joy and confidence in spreading the Gospel have been some of the major subjects for discussion during the first session of the first full day of the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization.
The Church, said various bishops, must be humble and not preoccupied with herself; she cannot pretend to give easy solutions; she must rediscover the newness and richness of Christ's teaching, and cannot be guided by "our own thoughts," but must constantly reach back into Tradition.
Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville advocated blessing a child in the womb – approved by the Vatican in 2011 – saying it is the first act of evangelization of a child and his family, and also fosters respect for human life, according to Father Thomas Rosica, director of Salt And Light Television who is briefing reporters on the discussions taking place in the Synod Hall.
Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, stepping in for Cardinal Francis George who is undergoing treatment for cancer, said that charity and justice must be at the heart of evangelisation, and that to work for justice, peace and development is especially attractive to young people who are touched by such witness that changes hearts.
A Latin American bishop said that the new evangelization is in need of new saints and we are called to be those new saints. The new poverty of the world is a poverty of saints, he added, and youth desperately need role models to inspire them, to excite them to love Jesus and the church.
Again, the importance of humility was raised, with Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen-Dagupan in the Philippines saying to loud applause that the Gospel can be preached to empty stomachs, but only if the stomach of the preacher is as empty as those of his flock.
Polish Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, made the point that the greatest obstacle a priest or theologian faces in becoming an effective evangelizer is pride and selfishness, and that the obsession with becoming great, original and important results in pastors feeding themselves and not the flocks they lead. Original sin, he said, means that all of us are inflicted with arrogance and this has to be constantly put at the foot of the cross in order to learn authentic love and to be evangelizers and teachers.
Among other obstacles to evangelization is the lack of missionary impulse, and the absence of joy and hope among priests, according to Bishop José Elías Rauda Gutiérrez, O.F.M. of San Vincente, El Salvador. The new evangelisation, he said, is the medicine to give back joy and hope to the world, and priests are important agents of this effort to help the Church come alive again.
Bishop John Corriveau of Nelson, British Columbia, stressed the importance of Trinitarian love at the heart of all new evangelisation efforts, and the building of community and the promotion of a sense of communion.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York underlined that the primary sacrament of the new evangelisation is the Sacrament of Penance, while Archbishop Gustavo García-Sillerto of San Antonio said he humbly called on the Holy Father to consecrate the whole world to the Holy Spirit. He proposed that the conclusion of the Year of Faith would be an ideal time to do so, "begging God to give out the gift of his Spirit across the face of the earth."
Yesterday afternoon, the Synod Hall was opened up to one hour of free discussion. Each speaker was limited to 3-4 minutes and could address anything they wished.
According to Fr. Rosica, many referred to the opening speech of the General Relator of the Synod, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, and praised his emphasis on the need for joy and confidence in the proclamation of the Gospel.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Washington D.C. made headlines by speaking of a "tsunami of secularism" that has washed across the world, leaving in its wake a tendency to deny God's existence, or to deny that God's existence is relevant to human thinking and action. He added that without God, "the very understanding of what it means to be human is altered" and that a key task of the new evangelization is to help people see that human dignity and human rights flow from the fact that all people are created in the image and likeness of God.
Also often raised in the free discussion was the subject of Islam. Many discussed evangelizing in the Middle East and elsewhere amid the threat of persecution, with some participants stressing the need to take "great care" in proclaiming the Gospel. "This can be a red flag and an invitation to tragedies," Fr. Rosica said in reporting on the discussion. "This was a real eye-opener for some people." An emerging theme, he added, was that evangelization in such countries is a one-way street – many convert to Islam, but are not free to convert to the Church.
Other speakers called for the spirit, energy and hope of the Council to be recaptured; one bishop stressed the importance of taking bold initiatives and recalled how he made sure a Corpus Christi procession went ahead despite a fierce storm. He was astounded how many people nevertheless took part.
"It was a very friendly spirit, the Pope was keenly listening, there was laughter and applause," said Father Rosica. He added that the Holy Father appeared "on good form," with many people talking with him and giving him gifts. "He seems very peaceful," he said.
