Marquette is poised to connect even more deeply to a world in need through its distinctive partnership with Catholic Relief Services. Two CRS key leaders — Dr. Jean Claude Kazadi and Vanessa Tobin — brought the urgent, life-saving work of CRS into full focus and talked about the ways in which being the difference is not only possible, but imperative. From relieving unthinkable suffering to catalyzing structural change, CRS is on the global scene and ready to serve in partnership with Marquette and others.
This event was part of Mission Week 2015.
Dr. Carolyn Woo, President and CEO of Catholic Relief Services shared how we view charity and justice in today's world and how the Marquette community can have a significant impact on the lives of those who are underserved.
Dr. Woo's distinguished career includes serving as dean of the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business for 14 years and associate executive vice president for academic affairs at Purdue University. Recently, she was featured in Foreign Policy magazine as one of the "500 most powerful individuals on the planet" and one of 33 in the category of "a force for good."

Dr. Terrence Rynne will presented on his new book Jesus Christ, Peacemaker: A New Theology of Peace.
From Amazon: This path breaking book shows how the early church took seriously the "hard sayings" of the sermon on the Mount, put them into practice even in the teeth of violent repression, and, as a result of imitating Jesus' lifestyle, converted the Roman Empire.
From Orbis: A new theology of peace that renders the just war theory near mute by making Jesus and his teachings the cornerstone of both theory and practice.
Dr. Rynne teaches in peace studies at Marquette University, is co-President of the Sally and Terry Rynne Foundation which is dedicated to peacemaking and the empowerment of women, and he is a co-founder of the Marquette University Center for Peacemaking.
Super-typhoon Haiyan made landfall in November 2013 in the Philippines, resulting in approximately 8,000 deaths and disrupting the livelihoods of 5.6 million. Hundreds of development agencies provided humanitarian relief, including Catholic Relief Services (CRS).
In this presentation, Stacy McCoy will talk about her experience working on the ground with CRS post-typhoon. While in the Philippines, Stacy helped to implement an assessment of options for farmers needing seeds for the upcoming planting season in areas affected by the super-typhoon.
Stacy McCoy is an MS/PhD student in Agricultural Economics at Purdue University with six years of international development experience promoting improved livelihoods for rural agrarian communities. Stacy worked with CRS in Rwanda as an International Development Fellow from 2008-09, and subsequently as an Agro-Enterprise Program Manager in Afghanistan from 2009-2012. Stacy began her graduate studies at Purdue in the fall of 2012, and over her winter break spent 4 weeks supporting the CRS response to Super-typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Paul McComas and Maya Kuper joined by Tim Buckingham and Mike Holden presented Unplugged, a one-hour program of scenes and songs to combat rape and despair, adapted from McComas' critically acclaimed novel.
This theatrical rock show told the story of troubled young alternative-rocker and rape survivor Dayna Clay, including her solitary journey into the wilderness of the South Dakota Badlands and her subsequent struggle to recover from depression, come to terms with her traumatic childhood, and secure a hard-won inner peace.
McComas is a Milwaukee native and two-time recipient of the Chicago Reader's "Critic's Choice" in Theatre & Performance. He has also published four other acclaimed books: Planet of the Dates, Unforgettable (a Silver Prize-winner at 2012's Midwest Book Awards), Twenty Questions, and Fit for a Frankenstein. He has also received the Mental Health Association's Distinguished Service Award.
Dr. Silva, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, shared his project titled Approaching the Borders of Peace:The Militarization of National Borders and the Creation of Internal Divisions. He travelled to the U.S.-Mexico border to research physical and psychological borders. The work combines his expertise in political philosophy and Latin American philosophy.
Dr. Michalinos Zembylas shared his reflection on a vignette of ethnographic research on forgiveness in a troubled society focusing on his home country of Cyprus. The vignette highlighted the complexity of forgiveness and provided a specific instance where traditional models of interpersonal forgiveness may fail or, at the very least, need to be expanded to account for the socio-political or inter-group dynamics. The presentation concluded with a discussion of the pedagogical implications of the notion of ambivalent forgiveness for troubled societies.
Dr. Michalinos Zembylas is a professor of education at the Open University of Cyprus. He is researching how politics influence social justice, peace, citizenship and intercultural education. He has written five books and has explored different topics relating to the role emotion in education.
This event was co-sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace, College of Education and Office of International Education.
New discoveries of the vastness of the universe have reshaped our sense of place and purpose as humans living on this one small planet in one of billions of galaxies. From the first "Flaring Forth," a monumental act of creation has been taking place through everything-including us.
At the same time as we make these discoveries, we are encountering ecological crises across our planet that are threatening the future of life, and they, too are becoming our teachers, revealing us to ourselves.
This retreat explored these dynamics and what they tell us about this moment of transition, the implications for the journey of faith and how we see the meaning and mission of the human at this point in time. All creation is one community where everything is connected to everything else. In our search together, we will explore the implications of that truth in our own lives and the witness of our communities.
Margaret Swedish was director of the Religious Task Force on Central America and Mexico in Washington D.C. (1981-2004). Since 2006, her work has been focused on the ecological crises now confronting humanity. Her book, Living Beyond the 'End of the World:' A Spirituality of Hope, addresses connections among the various environmental, economic and cultural trends that are leading towards ecological collapse.
Three-quarters of a century after the publication of "the great American novella" Of Mice and Men (1937) and the epic Depression-era protest novel The Grapes of Wrath (1939), this presentation took a fresh look at both of these masterpieces, along with three other books by John Steinbeck: East of Eden, Cannery Row and Travels with Charley: In Search of America. Author-actor-educator Paul McComas presented dramatic readings and analysis from all five classics, particularly Steinbeck's status as a master chronicler of-and avid advocate for-"the have-nots." The presentation also included a performance of Bruce Springsteen's stirring Wrath-inspired song "The Ghost of Tom Joad." With his unflagging insistence that each of us is, indeed must be, our brothers' and our sisters' keepers, Steinbeck 75 years later could hardly be more timely...or more necessary.
Milwaukee native Paul McComas is the author of four acclaimed books: two novels, Planet of the Dates and Unplugged, and two short-story collections, Unforgettable (a Silver Prize-winner at 2012's Midwest Book Awards) and Twenty Questions. Since 1988, he's taught writing, literature, and film, winning awards from National-Louis and Northwestern Universities. A recipient of the Mental Health Association's Distinguished Service Award, he serves on the National Leadership Council of the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) as well as on its Speakers' Bureau.
October 6, 2012 marked the 11th anniversary of the American invasion of Afghanistan. The immense toll this conflict has taken of the American and Afghan people is apparent. There have been over 23,000 people killed in Afghanistan in the last ten years, of those more than 2,100 were American troops. The majority of the other victims of this conflict were Afghan civilians. Sadly, but not surprisingly - since violence begets violence - Afghan, American, and UN officials are predicting increased violence in the future.
Patrick Kennelly, associate director of the Marquette University Center for Peacemaking, provided a concise history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, an overview of peacemaking efforts in Afghanistan, and facilitated a discussion on what we can do to bring about an end to this war. Kennelly has traveled to Afghanistan in 2011 and 2012 to research how Afghans are using nonviolent solutions to resolve the conflict in their country.
Pakistan is often misunderstood in the media due to the complexity of USA-Pakistan relationship. Many times people have limited knowledge about Pakistan and Pakistanis in America leading to negative stereotyping. This interactive panel discussion featured three speakers who will shared their personal experiences living and working in Pakistan. The panelists will focused on major social and development issues facing Pakistan as well as ideas on how to promote peace by connecting American and Pakistani communities.
The panelists were Ethan Casey, journalist and author of Alive and Well in Pakistan and Overtaken by Events, M. Salahuddin Khan, author of Sikander, and Rachel Williams, Rotarian, who has received many awards for her work in Pakistan.
This event was co-sponsored by the Pakistan Physicians Society of Wisconsin and the Human Development Foundation.
Original Christianity, for about 300 years after the life of Christ, forbade the use of violence and enmity. This retreat led by Rev. Charlie McCarthy and John Carmody provides what many have called a life-changing experience of the Nonviolent Jesus of the Gospels. It addresses our struggles to transform our lives and our world by living Christ's example and message of universal love and kindness in all our relationships. It shows us how we can effect peace in our families, communities, workplace, political structures and the world by confronting with love those forces within that undermine the innate capacity for care and compassion with which we are all imbued. Come join us.
Rev. Emmanuel Charles McCarthy is the founder and the original director of The Program for the Study and Practice of Nonviolent Conflict Resolution at the University of Notre Dame. He is a co-founder, along with Dorothy Day and others, of Pax Christi-USA. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his life's work on behalf of peace within people and among people.
John Carmody is currently director of the Center for Christian Nonviolence in Wilmington, DE. He served as a Marine Platoon Commander and Company Executive Officer in Vietnam in '67 and '68 where he was awarded a Silver Star and two Purple Hearts. He left the Marine Corps as a captain in 1970 to pursue a career in teaching and later worked for DuPont Pharmaceuticals.
Hope is rooted in the past but believes in the future. God's world is in God's hands, hope says, and therefore cannot possibly be hopeless. Life, already fulfilled in God, is only the process of coming to realize that we have been given everything we need to come to
fullness of life, both here and hereafter.
But if struggle is the process of evolution from spiritual emptiness to spiritual wisdom, hope is a process as well. Every stage of the process of struggle is a call to move from spiritual torpor to spiritual vitality. The spirituality of struggle gives birth to the spirituality of hope.
Gift yourself with this retreat to reflect on the struggles of your own life. Come to recognize the possibility of new spirit and transformation no matter what life presents to you. Be courageous of heart – face the struggles and discover the gifts! The retreat was led by Sr. Carolyn Gorny-Kopkowski, OSB.

The Spring Retreat was led byGrandmother Mona Polacca, M.S.W., Member of The International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. She is a Havasupai, Hopi, and Tewa Native American whose tribal affiliation is of the Colorado River Indian Tribes of Parker, Arizona. The Grandmothers are a group of women representing indigenous cultures from around the world, who are concerned with destruction of the earth and indigenous ways of life.
Mona has been a featured conference speaker both nationally and internationally, themes focusing on indigenous peoples human rights, aging, mental health, addiction and violence. In December 2008, Mona had the honor of being the representative of the indigenous Peoples on a panel of world religious leaders who drafted and signed a statement "Faith in Human Rights", in commemoration of the 60th Year of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She is employed with the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. working the tribes on addressing health issues.
Mona is also featured in a wonderful collection of teachings and stories compiled in the book, "Grandmothers Counsel the World: Women Elder Offer Their Vision for Our Planet" (ed. Carol Schaefer).
The panel explored motherhood and peacemaking through a variety of lenses – nursing, journalism, psychology, and the performing arts. This inter-disciplinary panel consisted of Dr. Ana Garner, Dr. Beth Osnes, Dr. Karen Slattery and Dr. Leona Vande Vusse who discussed how their research contributes to how society approaches motherhood and peacemaking.
Dr. Beth Osnes' performance explores what it might take for the mothers of one country to authentically care about the mothers and children of another country. The show's opening describes a fictional program, called "Baby Swapping," created by the United Nations to generate concern for the world's children. In this small, limited pilot program, seven mothers from seven nations from around the world are required by their governments to swap their six-month-old babies with another mother from another nation for one month. What follows is an intimate look at one of these mother's experiences and her eventual realization of her interconnectedness with these other mothers, their children, and their nations.
Jesse Greenberg is the Chicago regional political director of J Street, the political arm of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement. They seek to change the direction of American policy in the Middle East and to broaden the public and policy debate in the U.S. about the Middle East. They also support strong American leadership to end the Arab-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts peacefully and diplomatically.
For decades, the predominant voice from American Jews on Israel has come from a more hawkish minority. J Street was created change that dynamic and to create the space in Washington, DC for policymakers to take more thoughtful, nuanced positions in order to help bring an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that results in two-states. J Street is staking out a moderate place on the political spectrum and creating a home for the majority of American Jews who believe that Israel's ability to achieve a two state solution and maintain its Jewish, democratic character will come only through hands-on American foreign policy and the support of Congress.
Julie Enslow of Peace Action Wisconsin is an accomplished local peace activist and the Center for Peacemaking's 2009 Milwaukee Community Peacemaker. As a founding member of Peace Action Wisconsin and with nearly four decades of involvement in the struggle for peace and justice, Julie is a living example of what it means to be a peacemaker.
Julie gave a formal presentation to Marquette and the wider community about the personal story behind her motivation to commit to a lifetime of peace and nonviolence.
Sister Helen Prejean received an honorary degree in theological studies from Marquette University upon the recommendation of the Center for Peacemaking. After accepting her diploma, she spoke to the audience about her journey from the seminary to being a spiritual advisor for death row inmates to becoming one of the leading advocates to abolish the death penalty.
Fr. Ray Helmick S.J., professor of Theology at Boston College, spoke about his experiences in Israel-Palestine and interpreted the historical influences on the Vatican's position on the conflict in Israel-Palestine to a Marquette-Milwaukee audience.

Last June, the Flood Control District unveiled a new flood warning system website that tracks bayou and stream levels. Now, that same website has a mobile version that's simpler and easy to use on mobile devices. Steve Fitzgerald is with the Flood Control District.
"We got that running and got used to it and comfortable with it and then our staff developed the mobile website, which allows you to look at what's going on from rainfall and bayou and stream levels using your mobile devices, iPhones, Androids, those kinds of mobile devices."
The site will also work with an iPad or similar tablets. Fitzgerald says the information is nearly real-time and could come in handy during periods of heavy rain.
"There is some delay from getting the data from our sensors in the field. We have 132 sensors in the field at different locations throughout the county. It goes through radio frequencies to our bay stations, repeaters and then finally through our software and then to the public. So there is probably a 4 or 5 minute delay with all that processing time, but it's about a real time as we can get."
That web address is harriscountyfws.org. The mobile site also allows users to search for information on specific areas of the county using zip codes or addresses.

QUESTION: Does primacy of conscience override church teachings as it relates to taking holy communion for a Catholic who has divorced and remarried outside of church?
QUESTION: If he believes that it is better for the sake of his children to not seek an annulment, and he has truly had a conversion of heart through the grace of God, should he be denied from receiving holy communion at Mass if his conscience tells him it's the right thing to do?
A few things to keep in mind:
- True marriages last until the death of a spouse.
- Jesus hates and forbids divorce.
- Marriages by Catholics outside the Church are null-and-void.
- Annulments are simply declarations that there was no true marriage.
- Attempted marriage without an annulment is adultery.
People often do what they want, despite what the Church teaches. However, the Church has the right to control and administer her own sacraments. Remember, there are seven sacraments or divine mysteries only because the Church, herself, is the Great Mystery. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. Established by Christ, never in the history of the world had God given such authority to men as Jesus did to his apostles and priests. Priests can confect the Eucharist and offer the sacrifice of Calvary. They can also forgive sins. The Church is where we have our sacramental encounter with the living Christ.
The primacy of conscience does not mean that a priest must give holy communion to everyone who comes up to him. However, he must also avoid scandal and do nothing to violate professional secrecy and the seal of Confession. This means that despite his convictions, a priest might sometimes be compelled to give holy communion to people who should not receive.
Only Catholics properly disposed (in a state of grace) should make themselves available for holy communion. I regularly make an instruction about this during Masses. A person's conscience should be properly informed and respectful of Church teaching. Freedom of conscience does not mean license.
Technically, if a couple were living as "brother and sister" (usually elderly) and recourse to an annulment had failed or was impossible, a couple married outside the Church might be permitted to receive communion. They would have to promise the pastor that they would not engage in any sexual activities or divulge to others in the parish their true relationship. After going to confession and receiving sacramental absolution, they could again receive holy communion. However, this type of "internal forum" with the pastor should be sparingly used. If there is any chance of scandal, it cannot be pursued.
Annulments do not have any impact upon the legitimacy of children. People need to know this. They are attempts by the Church to balance compassion to her people with the permanent character of marriage and the prohibition of divorce.
If a man has had a genuine conversion of heart then he would seek an annulment, not only for his own sake, but for the woman he is with now. Does he not want her to go to heaven? Indeed, I know of one case where a couple separated because they wanted to be in good standing with God and the Church. Love of God and the love for another human being sometimes means detachment, distance and heroic sacrifice. Pretending to be married and clinging to each other is something people do in their weakness and sinfulness, both in the cases of attempted second marriages and those who live together without recourse to sacrament or license. But it is a situation which one should try to quickly remedy. I am reminded of the old Perry Como song, IMPOSSIBLE. He has the line, "I would sell my very soul and not regret it, for to live without your love is just impossible, impossible." In actuality, by God's grace, sometimes such is made possible, not as a rejection of love, but as an acceptance of all its implications. The greatest love always casts its eyes upon eternity. How can you say, "I love you," or "I would sacrifice anything for you," when that bodily affection and relationship might forfeit the beloved's acquisition of heaven and eternal life in Christ?
In the eyes of God and the Church, the second relationship noted in the question is not a marriage and is reckoned as adultery. People who are living in a state of mortal sin do not have the capacity to function as vessels of salvific grace. This is very serious. I would urge them both to see a priest about the possible regularization of the relationship.
As a priest, I would strongly urge them not to receive holy communion. However, I would ask them to regularly attend Sunday Mass and to attempt making a spiritual communion in their hearts. Because the relationship is deemed sinful, the reception of holy communion would constitute the further sin of sacrilege. The Eucharist is truly the sacrament of salvation for those abiding in a state of grace. However, that same holy communion convicts us and comes to the judgment of those persons not in right relationship with God.
It is not enough for such a man to follow his conscience, he should also follow the laws of the Church and God. His conscience must be formed by the Gospel and the teachings of faith.
CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE, Feb 20
Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney, Australia, said the conscience is not like a new car's satellite navigator — a voice coming from inside the car's dash telling the driver to turn here, continue or stop there. And it is not simply a gut feeling about the best way to act in a certain situation, he said.
"Too often in recent years those desperate for moral education or guidance have been fobbed off with 'follow your conscience' or 'do whatever seems right to you'" without being helped to understand what a correct conscience is and how it is formed, Bishop Fisher said.
"The classical Christian conception of conscience is of the natural perception of basic moral principles, their application in particular circumstances and the final judgment about what is to be done," he said.

This pattern is knitted sideways on straight needles, and is constructed from a series of panels and finished with Kitchener Stitch. Links to tutorials for prov. cast-on and Kitchener are included.
There are 3 styles of panel in this pattern, allowing you to mix 'n' match to create your own style of Hat! There is a regular straight brim panel, which alone would give a beanie style Hat. There is then a soft scalloped edge, which could be used on it's own or combined with the straight panel for a soft, feminine Hat. The final panel is elongated and is ideal for creating a ear-flap or chullo style! Notes on how to combine the different options to create the Hats shown are included.
Only 2 sizes are included (compared to my regular 3 or more) however a change in gauge, or knitting only 6 panels instead of 7 will give a variety of sizes. Do remember though that row gauge is the key in this pattern to obtaining a good fit.

Candy hearts, chocolate-covered strawberries, sugar cookies sprinkled with purple and pink confetti—Valentine's Day really is the sweetest holiday. And since we're not much in the kitchen, we cooked up a sweet pink beauty look instead. We turned to pink enthusiast and professional makeup artist Emma Willis to help us craft this feminine and flirty look perfect for a V-Day date with your sweet, or an evening of chocolate martinis with your closest girlfriends.
Start with a moisturizing primer like L'Oréal RevitaLift Moisture Blur. Then apply foundation.
Apply cream conceal with a brush and blend with your finger. Set it all in place with a dusting of translucent powder like Dermablend Loose Setting Powder.
Dust bright pink blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend with a clean brush.
Contour the hollows of the cheeks and along the jaw line, extending down the center of the neck.
Use a pale pink shimmer powder to highlight the tops of the cheekbones and the center of the nose.
Apply a light wash of an eggshell-colored eye shadow all over the eyelid and the inner corner of the eye. Choose a shade that has a slight shimmer like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Zephyr.
Use a flat brush to press Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Pure Pigments Loose Powder Shadow in Pink Rebel onto the center of the lid.
Cover the bright pink shadow with a touch of superfine glitter. Try Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Glitter Rock.
Build some intensity with dark brown eye shadow. Blend the liner shade of Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow Quad in Chai Latte in the crease.
Smudge a thin line of black cream eyeliner like Yves Saint Laurent Effet Faux Cils Crème D'Eyeliner in Deep Black along the upper and lower lash lines and add black mascara.
Apply a light layer of L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipcolour in Pink Flamingo and blot.
Top it off with a shimmery soft pink gloss in the center of the lips. Try Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Flushed Rose.
What do you think of this sweet all pink look? Would you wear pink on your lips, cheeks and lids? Tell us below!

Issue 7.12 | Dec 1999
this article for free.
Cute Inc. (continued)
|Industry Players
Sanrio Company Ltd. occupies the top nine floors of an uncute office tower five minutes from the Osaki train station in central Tokyo. Things don't start to get cute until the 18th floor, where the design department is. To get to their desks, Sanrio's staff designers must walk through "Kitty's Room," a mock-up of a studio apartment furnished with Hello Kitty appliances, foods, and toiletries - almost all of them pink.
At the moment, Kitty's Room is sublet to a pair of live, caged hamsters. These arrived last year, when hamsters were very big. After hamsters came butterflies; next year dragons and possibly fish will be big again. Character designers follow trends in movies, fashions, news events. Tarepanda, for instance, came after the Tokyo Zoo's panda acquisition brought on a nationwide craze a couple years back.
Each of Sanrio's 50 staff artists is expected to come up with one or two new characters per year. Odds are they won't be used, though, for only a couple of new product lines are introduced each season. Designers spend the bulk of their time making products to showcase existing characters. With the exception of some of the original sketches and drawings, almost all of this work is done on computers - Apple G3s. Designers sit at desks, not drafting tables. At all three of the biggest firms I visited - Sanrio, Sony Creative Products, and San-X - the look is that of a (cluttered) high tech office, not a design studio.
"Six hundred new items go out the door every month," Doug Parkes, a manager in Sanrio's international-licensing department, told me. About two-thirds of Sanrio's profit comes from the products it designs and then subcontracts to a factory to produce (Sanrio owns no manufacturing plants). The remaining third comes from royalties paid by licensees who manufacture their own products with Sanrio characters on them. The design staff also spends time working with licensees. As Parkes puts it, "They may know how to build a bicycle, but they have no idea how to put Hello Kitty on it."
Sanrio's main competitors in the Japanese character industry - Walt Disney Enterprises Japan and Sony Creative Products - differ from Sanrio in that they don't design their own characters, but rather act as brokers for existing imps, managing the licensing of dozens of US and European characters. Sony Creative handles Sesame Street's denizens (who enjoy phenomenal popularity among Japanese adults), Pingu, Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit, and Thunder Bunny and other characters by New York illustrator Rodney Alan Greenblat, as well as a couple of domestic designs - most notably (for now, anyway) Sony's Momo the PostPet.
Momo the PostPet - a sort of hypercute version of the Eudora rooster - is the first Net-spawned character success story.
The naughty-sweet pink bear - a sort of hypercute version of the Eudora rooster - is the first Internet-spawned character-licensing success story. He has of late made the leap to fax memos, mousepads, and, of course, cell phone straps. Sanrio used to handle Japanese licensing of Betty Boop and the Pink Panther, among others, and if Hello Kitty hadn't proved to be the juggernaut she is, no doubt Sanrio would have continued doing so.
I've come to Sanrio to meet Yuuko Yamaguchi, the designer in charge of Hello Kitty for 19 of the character's 25 years. We are not meeting in her office, for she has no office. No one on her floor does; nor do they have cubicles. As is typical of Japanese corporations, employees work in clusters of open desktops, the elbow of one woman jutting into the airspace of her neighbor. Whatever space remains after the G3 and the mousepad take their bite is given over to an eye-assaulting welter of cute-character stuff - some of it practical (staplers, erasers), most just cute. They are stuck on monitor frames, crowded three deep on shelf edges, hung on strings from desk lamps.
Yamaguchi and I are talking in a small conference room, accompanied by Doug Parkes, who serves as our interpreter, and a blue-suited man from the General Affairs office, whose role is unclear to me. The atmosphere is a good deal more sober than I'd anticipated. I take solace in the chair cushions, which are red and printed to read, "Hello, lovely to meet you. I'm Kitty. I've invited all my best friends to come and play."
I have asked Yamaguchi why so many cute Japanese characters have no mouth. At Sanrio alone, the muted legions include Hello Kitty, Pochacco, Cathy the bunny, Nutz, Chococat, and Cookie-Bau. Might this fit in with the helpless aspect of kawaii? If submissiveness is part of the appeal of cute, what better than to have no mouth at all?
"Kitty has a mouth," Yamaguchi states flatly. Spread open on the table is an issue of the glossy magazine/catalog Kitty Goods Collection. I look again: The damn cat has no mouth.
"It's hidden in the fur," Yamaguchi insists.
"But -"
"She has one."
The women who create cute are nothing like the women you see buying it. San-X's Hikaru Suemasa, when we meet, is dressed in black bell-bottoms and a T-shirt, her bare feet slipped into plastic sandals. Yamaguchi, easily 40, is wearing kneesocks, but they're black. Her hair is infused with strands of a deep Goth red you will find on no Sanrio product. She doesn't giggle. Beneath her skirt, she wears a kind of black woven pantaloons, a fact I am privy to because she sits with her legs planted well apart.
Satoshi Tajiri, 33-year-old creator of Pikachu and pals, is apparently cut from the same cloth. (Nintendo bought rights to the Pokémon story from Tajiri's Tokyo-based company, Game Freaks.) Officials at Nintendo of America's corporate affairs office describe Tajiri as "reclusive," which is their way of saying I can't talk to him. Tajiri grants no interviews, but is generally reported to have drawn his inspiration for Pokémon from monster movies and an insect-collecting hobby in his youth. A Nintendo flack says Tajiri is "probably the most creative person in the world" and "equally eccentric."
Yamaguchi and her bland, benign Kitty make a decidedly odd couple. And a couple they clearly are. She describes a phase several years back during which "Kitty and I were basically parts of each other." Whatever Yamaguchi did or dreamed of doing - she briefly wanted to be a model, for instance - Kitty would also do, and vice versa. "At one point, Kitty started collecting teddy bears. I found I had to, too," she says. These days, Yamaguchi sees the relationship as one of idol and manager.

Taking a little break from the Chapter 57: Mighty Healthy merch lineup, we present you with the 'Double Cup' tee, a FRANK-branded play on the streets new favorite drink of choice—po' up!
The lookbook, shot by Jason Siegel, gives an inside look into Native Root's legal marijuana grow operation and Colorado's 420 rally, with pictures of a whopping 500 pounds of marijuana in a maximum security vault.
Still very in-tune with the Illuminati vibes, this latest drop features a unique double logo on the front and plenty of cryptic artwork on the back.
We have a special surprise in store for you this upcoming Saturday, February 15th. All we can say is that it's the fourth time we'll be collaborating with this brand. Keep an eye out.
Designed with a classic style in mind, they come in light gray and hunter green with "FRANK" embroidered across the front in white.
Adorned with the iconic yet classic varsity-style "F" (suitably placed and made of felt, not to worry), it's available in deep maroon, light grey, navy blue, and cherry red to satisfy all your color needs this winter.
Whatever the occasion may be, we got you covered since the FRANK Black Collection consists of a crewneck, long-sleeve tee (with FRANK "F"s down each arm), hoodie, and t-shirt.
We're joining forces once again with our homies at Hall of Fame to create a capsule collection of tees that commemorate the two latest FRANK books, Chapter 53: Diamond Life and FRANK151 x A$AP Mob: Harlem Edition.
FRANK151 is an independent internationally recognized media company based in New York City, with satellite offices in Los Angeles and Tokyo. Through a distinctive mix of exclusive and unvarnished content, FRANK151 speaks to a global audience of culturally acute creators, agitators and connoisseurs.

Recover Backup Exec Server
I'm trying to test/simulate a FULL disaster recovery of our entire HQ. (ie: The building burned down). I understand how all the bare metal SDR works but that relies on the Backup Exec server being up. I can't find a good explaination of how to restore your BE2012 windows server from offsite tapes in this situation.
Can someone please provide a thorough "best practices" or step by step instruction for recovering your BE server? Wouldn't this be the first thing you'd have to do in this situation?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Yes if BE crashes that would be the first step to recover as without that you won't be able to recover anything.
To restore the BE you need the Data and Catalogs folder. Catalogs folder can be backedup daily if you are backing up the BE server but to backup the database you should have the SQL agent.
If you don't have the SQL agent then we can backup bedb.bak which automatically gets created at 4 AM.
Follow below steps to recover the server.
1>Install the os and patch it, bring it up on the domain and install BE.
2>Replace the Data and Catalog folder, once done use BEutility to drop databse and reload from backup.
Have you tried rebooting the server and library after migrating the stuff. Try to make the devices online and see if BE uses them.
If you are using the same device and server name try to make this online and it should reflect it in. If the devices are new or different then it would be showing the new devices there, just delete the old ones which are offline.
If u
I undertand correctly you restored to a different location? If so, your old devices should show up as offline, but if not, just run the Device Configuration Wizard & install the drivers for whatever tape drive is there! If you use B2D then you need to recreate them!
Then point your jobs to these devices!
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
What you need to do is a "manual disaster recovery of a local Windows computer ".
Have a look at pages 638-643 of the BE2012 Admin Guide.

From Barnstable to Orleans starting Oct. 22 and continuing through the 26th, oral rabies vaccine will be distributed in baits designed to attract raccoons. It's a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Wildlife Services in cooperation with the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force.
While the vaccine won't harm domestic animals, you're advised to keep dogs leashed to prevent them from scavenging. If you come upon a bait pack, get rid of it in a brushy area and wash your hands thoroughly.

|Cookout ends in double stabbing
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 09 July 2007 20:00
A family cookout ended in a knife fight in Wilkesboro.
When a man allegedly tried to stop a woman from driving drunk, police say she did not react kindly. Eric Fergusen and Rachel Hailey were fighting over keys when Valerie Ferguson apparently tried to break up the fray. Hailey then allegedly slashed her hand. She went to Wilkes Regional Medical Center for treatment, and was soon joined by her brother, Eric Ferguson, who soon showed up with stab wounds of his own. According to what he told Wilkesboro police, Eric Ferguson was stabbed in the back and twice on his left arm when he tried to restrain Hailey because he believed her to be too intoxicated to drive home. The police have yet to file charges against anyone in the incident.

"We are delighted to have Dr. Johnston rejoin the Institute to fill
these critical leadership roles," comments Dr. Fauci. "She is a
world-class leader in the field of HIV vaccines who is widely admired
and respected for her knowledge, vision, integrity and many skills.
"Identifying a safe and effective vaccine to prevent HIV/AIDS has been
named by President Clinton as a national goal," adds Dr. Fauci, "and
research directed toward that goal is the highest priority of the NIAID
AIDS program. Dr. Johnston will play a central role in this effort."
As Assistant Director for HIV/AIDS Vaccines, Dr. Johnston will serve as
a liaison between the extramural and intramural HIV/AIDS vaccine
research communities, and ensure an integrated and well-coordinated
program. In this capacity, she will report directly to Dr. Fauci.
In her position in DAIDS, Dr. Johnston will have primary responsibility
for NIAID's extramural research programs focused on HIV/AIDS vaccines,
topical microbicides and other biomedical prevention approaches. She
will facilitate the simultaneous development of multiple promising
vaccine and prevention strategies; remodel and unify NIAID's clinical
vaccine research program; and foster new prevention research activities.
Managing a staff of nearly 30, she will direct the creation and
implementation of an overall HIV/AIDS vaccine and prevention research
agenda, and specific research initiatives to address its needs.
In both positions, Dr. Johnston will work closely with the NIH AIDS
Vaccine Research Committee, headed by David I. Baltimore, Ph.D., and the
NIH Office of AIDS Research, headed by Neal Nathanson, M.D.
In 1996, Dr. Johnston left her position as deputy director of DAIDS to
become scientific director (later vice president for scientific affairs)
of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI). During her time
with IAVI, Dr. Johnston helped it become an internationally renowned
advocacy organization for HIV/AIDS vaccine research and development,
particularly focusing on the needs and concerns of the developing world.
"In charting the organization's scientific course," comments Jack
Killen, M.D., director of DAIDS, "Dr. Johnston established an
international reputation for the clarity and depth of her understanding
of the scientific, sociological, economic and ethical challenges
involved in identifying a safe and effective HIV vaccine.
"Dr. Johnston's experience in promoting the involvement of the
international community, particularly developing countries, in HIV/AIDS
vaccine development will be a tremendous benefit to NIAID," comments Dr.
Killen, "as the Institute opens its first overseas Phase I AIDS vaccine
trial in Uganda this year."
Dr. Johnston received her bachelor's degree from Carnegie Mellon
University in 1972, and her doctorate in biochemistry from Tufts
University in 1979. She spent a year as a postdoctoral associate at the
Rega Institute for Medical Research in Leuven, Belgium, and then
beginning in 1978, spent four years as a fellow at the National
Institutes of Health, in what was then known as the National Institute
of Arthritis, Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases. From 1982-1987,
she was an assistant professor of Biochemistry at the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda. She joined DAIDS (then
the AIDS Program) in 1987, assuming positions of progressively greater
scope and responsibility over the ensuing nine years: 1987-1988, program
officer, Developmental Therapeutics Branch (DTB); 1988-1989, chief,
Targeted Drug Discovery Section of the DTB; 1989-1991, chief, DTB;
1991-1993, associate director, Basic Research and Development Program;
1993-1996, deputy director, DAIDS.
NIAID is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIAID
conducts and supports research to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses
such as HIV disease and other sexually transmitted diseases,
tuberculosis, malaria, asthma and allergies. NIH is an agency of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
