Early Monday evening, Mayor Kennedy Stewart announced a Public Health Order mandating that all bars and restaurants in Vancouver's downtown core be closed for St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday March 17. This order applies to all restaurant outlets at Terminal City Club, including the Lions Pub.
As such, the Lions Pub, Cuvee, 1982, the Grill, and the Member Lounge at TCC will all be closed tomorrow (Tuesday). The Fitness Centre will remain open, with previously announced restrictions still in place (sauna and steam room closures).
A further update will be distributed to members as soon as possible, once more information is available from Vancouver Public Health. We thank you for your patience and cooperation as we do our best to keep our members and staff safe.

The 37 members of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl who died in Wednesday's plane crash were on their way to Minsk to open the KHL season. The opening of the season has been pushed back to Monday, but all of Dynamo Minsk's tickets had been sold. Rather than leave the arena dark and emphasize the void the disaster has left, Dynamo and the league decided to mourn and remember the only way hockey knows how: on the ice.
A hockey funeral was held at Minsk Arena, where 15,000 fans including league officials and politicians came to watch Dynamo take the ice opposite photos of the lost Lokomotiv players and coaches. As an orchestra played a requiem, Dynamo players took turns putting pucks into their own empty net, as the names of the Lokomotiv dead were read out.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an urgent overhaul of the country's aviation industry, as it emerges that the downed plane's black box may be too wet to examine. Authorities believe they know what caused the crash, with fingers being pointed at contaminated gasoline.

Argan oil is deemed by many a super-ingredient when it comes to skin care. This is due to its anti-aging and restorative benefits which come from high levels of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E .
Argan kernel oil (Argania spinosa) comes from the nuts of the argan tree, which grows only in southwestern Morocco. Women there have been using the oil for its healing and age-defying effects for centuries. But argan is a bigger part of these women's lives than just a beauty remedy. It is the women of the Berber culture from this region who traditionally, and exclusively, produce the argan oil which is then exported to other countries.
Though the Berbers use argan for far more than skin care (food, charcoal, building material), the oil remains its primary use. Argan oil is very high in Vitamin E, which protects skin from premature aging, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, and scarring. The oil also contains phytosterols (naturally-occurring plant alcohols) which brighten and boost radiance in skin.
Argan is a rich and highly emollient oil, but is quickly absorbed by the skin, so leaves behind no residual greasiness. The oil is effective in fighting signs of aging and sun damage, and improving skin's elasticity. It can also be used to soften cuticles and as a hot oil treatment for hair.
Lavera utilizes the benefits of argan oil in moisturizing products: Body Effect Anti-Cellulite Oil Spray and the Solution Eye Cream. Argan provides supreme hydration and anti-aging properties to these skin care treatments, smoothing and protecting the skin. All argan oil used in Lavera products is certified organic .

Judy was born and grew up on a farm on the prairies of North Dakota. An only child, she spent most of her days with imaginary people—either those she read about or those she made up in her head. Her most ambitious conjuring did not succeed, however. She kept a clean stall with fresh hay and oats for the horse she imagined would arrive. Unfortunately it didn't come, at least not until she was an adult. After she was unexpectedly given three horses, she bought even more and began raising foundation quarter horses.
She graduated from Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota with majors in English and education and a minor in religion. At the time, she was simply studying what interested her, but now realizes that she was educating herself for her future career as a Christian writer. Her first book was written with a toddler on her lap. Judy would type a few words and say "Now, Jennifer." He two year old daughter would hit the space bar so Judy could continue writing. It was't the fastest way to work but it was a very cozy time.
In 2001 Judy became a certified professional life coach. In 2008 Judy completed her Master's program. She studied in the areas of writing and coaching. Now certified in three coaching disciplines, Judy coaches primarily professional and aspiring writers. She is also a faculty advisor in the Department of Human Development at St. Mary's University in Minneapolis, MN. She is married, lives in Minnesota, has two daughters and three step children.
She is the author of more than 75 books. She grew up in rural North Dakota and has done many of the things her Hilltop characters experience.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On the heels of nationwide record high temperatures for this time of year, on Monday Piers Morgan opened the program up for a spirited debate on global warming, inviting a pair of experts whose respective opinions place them on polar opposite ends of the spectrum.
"When I was 9 years old, the earth's population changed from 2.999 billion to three billion," said Bill Nye, more affectionately known by his television moniker "The Science Guy." "In my lifetime, it's now seven billion. People trying to live the way we lived in the developed world and we're just burning carbon and spewing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at an extraordinary rate."
Dismissing Nye as a "Global Warmist" who lacks facts, Marc Morano presented an alternate theory regarding the impact, and concern, associated with carbon dioxide:
"CO2 is rising. No one's disputing that. What Bill Nye just did was waste everyone's time explaining that CO2 is rising. The question is what impact does CO2 have on the weather, what impact does CO2 have on climate change," exclaimed the publisher of climatedepot.com. "That is where you look at the geologic record. We've had warmer periods where it's been - with higher - with lower CO2 and we've had colder periods with higher CO2. And you have to go way back for some of that but the bottom line is hundreds of factors are dictating our climate ... so the idea that Bill Nye is just going around saying CO2 is up, therefore global warming is dangerous, we should be concerned, it's not. It's not dangerous."
Meanwhile, after Nye and Morano concluded their debate on global warming, "Piers Morgan Tonight" turned to the day's other burning topic, the "fiscal cliff."
Joining the program for a live interview, Newt Gingrich offered his trademark blend of political insight, and candid commentary:
"I am, frankly, not at all encouraged by what I see and a little bit worried by it. I think, first of all, let me lay my cards on the table: I think that no deal is better than a bad deal," said the former Speaker of the House. "I think going off this cliff is less dangerous than letting things build up for a year or two years to have an even bigger cliff."
As his discussion with Morgan continued, the one-time candidate for the Republican presidential nomination offered some advice for the GOP:
Watch the clips, and listen to the interviews, as Morano and Nye get fired up about global warming, while Gingrich readies for the nation's financial free-fall.

Mr. Morgan,
Last night's interview of Bill Nye vs. Marc Morano was a failure. You need a way to cut off the microphone of anyone who yells and screams when the other person is trying to speak. As a Geology Professor I know about the past climatic record and the current crisis. While Bill Nye is a nice man, it would have been far better to have had Jim Hansen opposite any climate change denier, and also to display their peer review publication list. Let's get the best on both sides of the argument. Then have a switch that cuts off the microphone of either speaker when they are discourteous, plus have a red light that shows the audience that the individual's microphone has been cut off. The Bill Nye vs. Marc Morano may have been entertaining, but it was FAR from informative.
Had Dr. Hansen been there, no one would have been willing to sit on the other side of the table. CNN had to bring in a nice guy like Bill Nye just to coax one out onto the stage. It would be a very informative exercise to have highly qualified individuals from both sides of the Climate issue sit at the same table... but the arguments might be a little too highbrow and technical for mainstream media to profit from (people just wouldn't get it!). So they settle for Morano vs. Nye and are satisfied that they've earned their advertisers their $0.02 for the day.
Peer review is only valid when the peers participating approach what they are reading with an open mind and no political agenda. Global warming alarmists reading things written by other global warming alarmists will have an obvoius result.
And Quantum Mechanical papers shouldn't be read by physicist who work in Quantum Mechanics.
Somebody doesn't understand peer review. Open mind? This straw man is nothing but laughable. It requires expertise. And some bonehead - blueconcept - maintains it's easy to measure the temperature of Jupiter. Well, then it's WAY easier to measure the temperature of Earth. And yet, the denier idiots still can't - actually won't - understand the Earth is warming and why.
Once again, educate yourselves: http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-other-planets-solar-system.htm
" wonder what will happen if more people start lighing up on Pot??"
"You know, Pierse. I wish I could see what I've written before I post, but the letters aren't big enough."
According to NASA every planet in our solar system is heating up. Are we to blame for the elevated temps on Jupiter? How about Saturn?
This is nothing more than a new revenue stream – simple as that.
Funny that deniers can argue that scientists use faulty thermometers and fraudulent data to show that the earth is warming, then they turn around and claim that scientists have accurately measured a temperature increase on planets hundreds of millions of miles away.
The smart deniers understand that the earth is warming – just like the rest of the solar system. No thermometer is needed to measure that phenomenon. In Michigan where I live – I usually could have gone ice fishing 3 weeks ago. This year I won't make it out until the 2nd week of January at the earliest.
I like how the word denier is used in regards to manmade climate change. It conjures up images of another kind of denier after WW2. It brilliantly connects the 2 as if they are somehow related.
Good marketing – Bad judgment.
Good Day
It is not difficult to measure a temperature of Jupiter even from earth. And it is not difficult to compare how temperature changed threw out the years on Jupiter, if you constantly collected data for the last 30 years. All you need is telescope or satellite that can see further enough into Jupiter.
This myth about all the planets warming is complete nonsense and anyone spewing it is either ignorant of being duped or complicit in the sort of misinformation campaign that Morano is attempting. Please update your understanding on the climate myth:
Giving a cretin like Morano a platform to distribute asinine propaganda is inexcusable. Shoddy, gutless journalism. Are you next going to have an "expert" who claims that vaccines cause autism, or maybe a moon landing denier? Maybe you could have Inhoffe show up and explain that climate science is bunk because he read genesis. Grow up, get a set and stop pandering to the ignorant.
@AAron. The difference between earth and the other planets is that we are here, able to study it up close and personal, and not from astronomical differences. This incredible ability to study the planet we actually exist on, coupled with well established physics enables us to know why the earth is warming.
The American Dollar is not a currency outside the USA, unless someone owns it. And that is not Barack Obama!!
If investors take the money out, then Obama's Piggy Bank will get less."
What does this rant of yours have to do with anything on the topic? you are simply spewing nonsense to rile people up
I am speaking from the perspective of a biological researcher who has studied climate impacts on arctic ecosystems and forests for over 30 years. Piers Morgan and CNN need to treat human-caused climate change, for which there is overwhelming evidence, as a serious issue. Providing a forum for a science denier such as Marc Morano, who lacks any scientific credentials, is irresponsible. Morano brings egregious misinformation to an "argument" which has been settled by rigorous, peer-reviewed research and carefully scrutinized data. CNN would better serve its audience and the public by hosting scientific experts for serious discussions of climate science and climate change impacts on our health, economy, and environment.
When are the technically ignorant and incompetent folks at CNN going to stop giving the technically ignorant and incompetent folks like Morano - who are climate deniers/intentional science misinformers for hire - a voice. Morano has no scientific credentials and his intention is simply to misinform.
Why do you people do this? Is it CNN's intention to misinform its viewers? If so, it is succeeding.
Part of the problem with reporting on topics like Climate Change/Global Warming is that about 97% of scientists agree that it is happening. Only a tiny percent of that 97% even question that it is derived from human activities. That leaves a very small number of scientists available to credibly represent the opposite side of the issue (the viewpoint of the so-called 'denialists'), and of those, the vast majority want nothing to do with publicity or public speaking, but rather to be left alone to quietly do their research and live their lives! The few scientists who are willing to stand up and speak for that very small percent of scientists who have doubts as to the source of the Global warming trend are given an inordinate amount of face time to speak their point of view. This is because mainstream media practices require a balanced viewpoint of an issue be presented in quality journalistic practices. For every global warming article published, an equal amount of ink (or pixels) is expended to provide both sides of the issue... and that does the public the disservice of imparting the unrealistic viewpoint that there is just as much data out there that supporting the conclusion that global warming isn't happening or that humans have nothing to do with it if it is as there is data describing all the gazillion ways that it is happening and that we are responsible for it. That's just not the case. If you want to be really balanced, 3% of your ink is more than adequate space to represent the portion of scientists with viewpoints other than that of the mainstream. Really. That would give a more accurate reflection of the current state of Global Climate Science.
It is much easier for people to read that they are not responsible for the climate and ecological disasters they see unfolding before their eyes than to take responsibility for it and do something about it. And if people don't like what they read, they won't go back to a website. And CNN's advertisers lose money.
No one wants to tell people the truth because of the freemarket way we get our news. But it's there, and there are things we can all do about it. Find ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Ride a bike or walk, when possible. Recycle everything that you can. Buy energy efficient vehicles and appliances when you can. Turn down the thermostat a few degrees in the winter, turn up a few in summer. Be responsible, now. While we still can.
CNN is truly pathetic - this is NOT a "he said-she said" false equivalence "debate" for the entertainment of an audience. DO YOUR JOB! It's no wonder that most Americans are confused about whether climate change is real and man-made - it's because of irresponsible junk like this from CNN.
30,000 years ago this planet started to warm, and by 10,000 years ago the two million year old Pleistocene Ice Age ended. The glaciers that had extended from below present day Russia, across the north-pole to the present day US Canadian border, are all gone.
Of course the planet is warming. How can it not be warming, as we have just come out of an Ice Age? But look for the cause of the global warming 30,000 years ago, not in man's activity during the past 100 years. Blaming current events and taxing people to stop any more warming is like throwing virgins into a volcano to stop it from erupting. A good example of administrative drunken power by the volcano priests, but still a harmful waste of time.
Ask any geologist; 70% of the time, over the last billion years, there were no glaciers anywhere on this planet. This planet is slowly returning to its NORMAL state, and throwing all the virgins you can into volcanoes will not change that.
Just a thought for you bogger eaters,have ANY of you considered that the warming is NATURES way to rebalance this wonderful little smudge of crap on a lonely arm of a lonely spiral galaxy in a lonely universe.Wise up folks WE ARE HERE to do this rebalancing. All of the goodies that drive life here have been slowly locked away. Is it any coincidence we come along just as the last of the truly large creatures die out ? If we don't or won't free up these building blocks, CREATION will discard us and do better,just ask the Neanderthals
Today I heard an interesting report on the new Irish budget relating to the tax on cars here that is determined by the CO2 emissions. New cars, after 2008 pay far less because they produce less CO2 in a year than the average family breathes out. Perhaps we should prevent the climate change fanatics from finding this out. Who knows if they will then start calling for a culling of billions of people as the solution to reducing CO2?
Oh, just stop the stupidity. There is NO debate about global warming. It is happening. Humans are the cause. And it's time we figured out how to STOP being the cause.
It would be helpful if the media idiots like Piers Morgan and his producers understood the topics they're trying to inform people on. Providing Know Nothings and intentional misinformers like Morano is a disservice not only to CNN's viewers but to the world and future generations.
Up your game, boys. It's way past time. And your cluelessness and refusal to learn is very, very nauseating.
A scientist says manmade climate change is a terrifying crisis on which we must act now, but a polluter lobbyist says it's not – who can say what's true? We'll have to leave it there!
It's embarrassing that CNN is trying to create climate science controversy where there is none. Why not debate climate SOLUTIONS? I'd tune in for that.
Theory, prediction, test, result: the scientific method. If the result does not match the prediction, the theory is wrong.
I would like any of you to explain to me where all the predicted hurricanes are. Explain to me why there has been no warming for the past 16 years, when it was predicted there should have been. Explain to me why it was never predicted that Antarctic ice would be at all-time highs. Explain to me why Hurricane Sandy had not been predicted weeks in advance. Explain to me why the rise of the oceans has been slowing, when it was predicted that it should be accelerating. Explain to me why the Arctic isn't ice-free, when it was predicted it would be by now.
It doesn't matter who you are or what your supposed expertise is. If the predictions of global warming do not match the predictions, then global warming theory is wrong.
End of story.
Bill Nye vs Marc Morano seems to me to be a reasonable debate choice. Both are laymen in terms of the science of climate. The complexity of the science means it is surely impossible for CNN or Pier's to keep both sides of the debate happy. Now about the climate debate itself. Just keep in mind that the great majority of those who oppose doing anything about CO2 emissions do NOT also believe that the planet is NOT warming. It is a false dilemna to claim that those who oppose human caused global warming must also therefore oppose the idea that the planet has warmed. Very few people would claim that the planet has not warmed in recovery from the little ice age. And that recovery continues to this day. So of course the planet has warmed (just as it may well cool sometime in the future too). So the real debate going on in climate science circles is how much has it warmed and is it caused by man. The answer to that is still unknown (in so far as unknown means we can't be sure). Thus, the uncertainty of the climate system is still too great for the scientists to know (by successful prediction) whether humans really are causing much if any of the warming. Despite heroic efforts by climate scientists, the connection between CO2 and global warming is still not demonstrated in the evidence. It is only seen in the scientific models. But models are only a (somewhat crude and rudimentary) attempt to recreate the earth climate in the lab. The true test of these models is found in their ability (or in this inability) to mimic our actual future climate within certains bounds of uncertainty. So for example, the global CO2 concentration has been on a linear increasing trajectory for many decades yet the increase in global average temperatures since the peak of 1998 has been statistically insignificant. That is, there has essentially been no warming that is outside of the measurable uncertainty. Thus, all dire predictions made in the 1990's regarding the future 2000-2010 decade have failed to materialise – why? This places the science of human caused global warming very much in the realm of valid debate. Only the climate alarmists want you to believe that the science is settled. They are using another simple fallacy – appeal to authority. The debate is very much scientific. CNN does a great service to everyone by presenting the competing evidence so that the viewer may then be prompted to gain knowledge of both sides of the argument and will then be able to come to a conclusion themselves. Better that than to have people being pushed to a conclusion by shills and trolls and agenda driven politicking and the terrifying sound of global warming fallacies piled upon fallacy upon fallacy.
So now Bill Nye, the Science Guy, is an "expert" on climate science and global warming. You've got to be kidding.

As the aging of the world population continues, the number of people affected by dementia is likely to steadily increase. It is estimated that there are 4.5 million affected people in United States alone and that this number will triple in the first half of this century. Alzheimer disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, remains a major public health challenge internationally. This disease not only exacts a heavy toll on patients but also causes anguish to millions of caregivers and costs society more than $100 billion annually in the United States alone.1
Dementia refers to a generally chronic syndrome characterized by a decline in intellectual functioning that is substantial enough to interfere with a person's ability to perform usual and daily activities. Depending on the underlying cause, the clinical course can be static or progressive. AD is clinically characterized by an insidious onset and progressive decline. The identified neuropathological hallmarks of this disease include extracellular amyloid plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and an associated loss of neurons. Eventually all aspects of the affected individual's life are involved to the extent that he or she becomes dependent on care providers for the most basic activities of daily life (Table 1). The psychiatric symptoms of a patient with AD often result in caregiver burnout and may lead to the patient's placement in a supervised living facility.2
Early treatment begins with early detection
Successful intervention requires an early and timely diagnosis. Caregivers of persons with AD often state that an average of 2 years passes from the onset of symptoms to a formal diagnosis.3 Similarly, it is recognized that pathological changes of AD begin to appear years or decades before a clinical diagnosis is made.4 Thus, early diagnosis remains a challenge.5 Clinicians may fail to recognize the earliest signs of AD or may feel uncomfortable diagnosing AD because of a lack of standard assessment tools, time and reimbursement constraints, and fears that a diagnosis of dementia may open a Pandora's box. Alternatively, patients and families may not report cognitive problems, either because they are in denial or they fear stigmatization.
We do not know what causes AD, but the past 2 decades have seen remarkable progress in our understanding of its origin and treatment. A major focus of research is to refine our ability to identify the illness at the earliest point by using biological and imaging markers. In terms of treatment, the ideal solution is to effectively prevent the disease and limit the number of new cases. Although some risk factors have been identified,6 we may not yet have the ability to prevent the disease before it develops (primary prevention); the focus, therefore, is on maximizing the effectiveness of available treatments for symptomatic patients and identifying those in transition to or at risk for progression to AD (secondary prevention). Current available treatments (cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine) limit the devastation that is unleashed by this disease (tertiary prevention). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is increasingly being recognized as a prodrome to dementia but is not an FDA-approved indication for treatment with the above agents. In addition to symptomatic treatments, several disease modification strategies are under clinical investigation.
Defining success
AD is not merely a cognitive disorder (Table 1). The data from regulatory trials of antidementia agents may not look impressive unless success is defined in broader terms. In the absence of a cure, both improvement and slower rate of decline over time are positive therapeutic outcomes (Figure). Recent studies of antidementia agents have addressed some of the limitations of regulatory trials in an effort to enhance their clinical relevance. Inclusion of broader patient populations,7,8 extended period of observation,9,10 and use of behavioral, caregiver, and economic outcomes11-13 have helped redefine "success." On average, untreated patients decline relentlessly, whereas treated patients tend to show a less progressive deterioration. We now have the ability to stabilize cognitive function in a substantial percentage of patients and limit long-term disability for at least 1 year. Put simply, these treatments work reasonably well.14-16

I have a feeling that EA has a ginormous amount of insurance against Origin's failure. If I take that as a sound basis then all of EA's moves with respect to their digital distribution platform would start to make sense. Currently, it just makes them look so silly that the phrase "what are they stupid?" becomes redundant and obvious. Remember the (US/Canada only offer, as pointed out by Sathya) Mass Effect 3 preorder offer at Origin? The one that would give away a free copy of Battlefield 3 to all those who preorder the game? Well, it turns out that EA has "run out of the limited copies of Battlefield 3" and will be ending the offer 3 weeks early. They ran out of digital copies.
The pre-order Mass Effect 3 get a bonus copy of Battlefield 3 is over. All pre-orders made during the deal will receive a code by Mar. 8th.
— Origin (@origin_EA) February 17, 2012
At least, that is what I suspect, because the deal was on until the 5th of March. It has stopped now and those who had preordered the game will receive the Battlefield 3's key by March 8th. That is right, they have to wait until Mass Effect 3 is released and then get the key for the existing game. Apparently, EA has done this before – with the Battlefield 3 preorder which came with a free copy of Dead Space 2.
I have no idea who decides these things at the head office of Origin, but it's certainly not someone with a lot of sense. I mean, there's not even an apology or a blog post explaining the issue.

Proper Break-In Procedure for Steel or Cast Iron Rotors
New steel/iron rotors should be bedded in before being used in racing conditions. Proper bedding will prepare the rotor surface, prolong the rotor's life, and make it more resistant to thermal checking or cracking under severe braking conditions. The following procedures should be performed when bedding in both steel and cast iron rotors. It is best to bed in a new rotor using a used set of pads, preferably ones which will not create heat rapidly. Generating heat too rapidly will thermal shock the rotors. Likewise, when bedding in a new set of brake pads it is best to perform the process on a used rotor. This new/used bedding process permits controlled bedding of each individual component.Make sure rotor surfaces are free from oils, grease, and brake fluid. Run vehicle up to a moderate speed and make several medium deceleration stops to heat up the rotor slowly. This will help reduce the chance of thermal shock caused by uneven heating of the rotor. Pull into the pits and allow the rotor to cool to ambient air temperature. Care should be taken not to ride the brakes into the pits as this may hot spot the rotor causing premature wear to the surface or structural damage.

The Catholic Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue has issued a statement of goodwill to Hindus at the start of the holy festival of Diwali which was welcomed openly. The council stressed that true human development is a result of respecting the freedom of everyone, and they took a giant leap in that direction by crossing often ardent religious boundaries.
The statement entitled "Hindus and Christians committed to integral human development" was signed by the President of the Pontifical Council, Cardinal. Jean-Louis Tauran, and the secretary, Msgr. Pier Luigi Celata. It's aim is the recognition of freedom for all, the protection of basic human rights, and peaceful coexistance. The statement acknowledges that the "true good of every individual" is integral to the advance of human development. The words of Pope Benedict XVI that "integral human development presupposes the responsible freedom of the individual and of peoples" is echoed in the sentiment of the council.

When one of the most senior offices in the Christian pantheon extends goodwill to the people of a different religion, it is worth standing up and taking notice. In addition, for those yogis who both seek the deeper meaning of Yoga and struggle with the question of how their religious beliefs fit into the practice, this statement holds a great deal of symbolism.
The practice of yoga at its essence is a practice of union, of strengthening our existing belief system and allowing us to understand and accept the beliefs of others even if they are fundamentally different from our own. Union means joining together in commonality instead of creating separation based on our differences. In joining, we find that we are all One humanity. A fact that the Pontifical Council echoed the feeling that, "such authentic human development can be achieved only by assuming a shared responsibility for one another and by seriously engaging in collaborative action. This springs from our very nature as human beings and our belonging to one human family."
Whether intentional or not, the Pontifical Council is expressing the fundamental belief of Yoga. The practice of seeing our unity is a powerful step in creating harmony and cooperation not only in theology, but also and maybe more importantly, in the world condition of which we are all a part. Paradigm shifts begin in the most understated ways. And maybe, just maybe, this statement expresses the humble beginnings of a world dedicated to commonality instead of separation.
What do you think the Pontifical Council's message represtents? We'd love to hear about it.

A man who killed five co-workers, a UPS driver and himself after he was fired in September was given a warning the week before the attack for being chronically late, according to personnel files released Monday, Dec. 24, by police.
Andrew Engeldinger, 36, was late to his job at Accent Signage Systems 35 workdays in a row in August and September, Minnesota Public Radio News reported.
A week before the shooting, the company's quality control manager, Rami Cooks, sent Engeldinger a letter calling his constant tardiness a problem that needed to be "rectified immediately." It was the most recent in a string of warnings given to the Minneapolis man.
Engeldinger's file shows he received a similar letter in 2011 about another string of late arrivals. Manager John Souter also entered several letters going back to 2006 in Engeldinger's file that described incidents in which co-workers said he was verbally abusive toward them, MPR reported.
Company officials had just fired Engeldinger for lateness and poor performance when he pulled out a gun and started shooting. He killed the company's founder, Cooks, three other Accent employees, and the UPS driver, and then killed himself.
Police say Cooks and Souter were the first two people Engeldinger shot. Souter survived.
Engeldinger's parents said that they thought their son was mentally ill and that they tried to get him help but that he refused and ultimately cut off contact with them.
