1st semester: Tuesday evening (Min. No. 8)
What ecclesiological resources do we have for transforming the culture of the church? How can we reclaim the church as a collaborative and vulnerable space? Can we build a church where the mission of serving the reign of God and the relationships of community are more important than the preservation of the institution? In the light of these questions, this unit examines the theology of the church grounded in Jesus' preaching of God's kingdom / reign and oriented to the mission of that kingdom. It will explore New Testament images and metaphors for the church and historical and contemporary models of church and mission. The ecclesiological documents of the Second Vatican Council will be assessed both for what they contribute to the quest for a humbler church, and for what they fail to resolve.
PREREQUISITES: Level 2: one Level 1 CT unit; Level 3: one Level 1 CT unit and one Level 2 CT unit
Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that students will be able to:
- demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the church
- discuss a variety of theological approaches to church and mission (Level 2 only) Assess a variety of theological approaches to church and mission (Level 3 only)
- discuss the ecclesiological significance and contribution of Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes (Level 2 only) Assess the ecclesiological significance and contribution of Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes (Level 3 only)

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez revealed today on his Sunday television and radio program, Aló Presidente, that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have illegally entered Venezuela's airspace during the past several days. "A few days ago, one of these military planes penetrated Venezuela as far as Fort Mara," a Venezuelan military fort in the State of Zulia, bordering Colombia. The drone was seen by several Venezuelan soldiers who immediately reported the aerial violation to their superiors. President Chávez gave the order today to shoot down any drones detected in Venezuelan territory. Chávez also directly implicated Washington in this latest threat against regional stability by confirming that the drones were of US origen.
On Thursday, President Chávez denounced Continue reading

-After the U.S. military withdrawal from Panama in 1999, the Pentagon has been expanding the "cooperative security locations" in the region. The U.S. Southern Command also operates some 17 radar sites, mostly in Peru and Colombia. All of the above is in addition to existing U.S. bases in Latin America, including a missile tracking station on Ascension Island in the Caribbean, and Soto Cano in Palmerola, Honduras. Furthermore, the United States has Continue reading

The people of Honduras have now suffered more than 40 days of military rule. The generals' June 28 coup, crudely packaged in constitutional guise, ousted the country's elected government and unleashed severe, targeted, and relentless repression.
The grassroots protests have matched the regime in endurance and outmatched it in political support within the country and internationally. Its scope and duration is unprecedented in Honduras history. Popular resistance is the main factor affecting the international forces attempting to shape the outcome of the governmental crisis. It weighs heavy on the minds of the coup's authors and their international backers.
As Eva Golinger has convincingly documented1, the United States took part in conceiving, planning, and staging the coup. The U.S. ambassador in Tegucigalpa, Hugo Llorens, coordinates a team of high-ranking U.S. and Honduran military officials, and creatures from the old Bush administration, using the Soto Cano (Palmerola) U.S. air force base.
But when the army, machine guns blazing, assaulted President Zelaya's house, kidnapped him, and dumped him in Costa Rica – still in pajamas – their actions forged unprecedented unity in Latin America and the Caribbean against the coup regime, and enraged hundreds of thousands within the country.
Latin American unity
In the first days after the coup, it appeared that the whole world denounced the Honduran generals and their civilian front men. ALBA – the nine-nation Bolivarian alliance initiated by Venezuela and Cuba – took the initiative in uniting Latin American governments around a common stand. Nicaragua's capital, Managua, became the temporary capital of Our America. Many Latin American presidents knew only too-well that they could soon suffer Zelaya's fate.
Argentina's Cristina Fermandez devoted her Continue reading

On Wednesday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez presented evidence that Colombia's accusations that his government provided grenade launchers to the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia (FARC), a Colombian guerrilla organization, are false.
In a press conference dedicated largely to the issue, Chavez said the three grenade launchers that Colombian soldiers said they found in possession of the FARC recently might be those that were stolen when the guerrillas raided a Venezuelan military post on the Colombian border in 1995.
Chavez, a former military officer trained in the use of grenade launchers, handed reporters a series of official documents and photos that Colombia sent to Venezuela in June. He pointed out a discrepancy between the documents, which said the weapons still contained grenades when they were found, and the photos of the weapons, which showed they had been fired and were no longer loaded with grenades.
Last week, Colombia said it had confirmed that the weapons seized from the FARC had been sold to the Continue reading

The frosty relations between Colombia and Ecuador got even frostier on July 6 when Colombian officials and lawyers accused members of Ecuador's government of working for left-wing Colombian guerrillas.
The accusations arose after a video was released featuring Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) commander Jorge Briceno (who goes by the alias "Mono Jojoy") claiming the guerrillas gave financial support to the 2006 election campaign of Ecuador's left-wing President Rafael Correa.
Colombia's prosecutor-general, Mario Iguaran, claimed that a former security minister in Correa's government, Gustavo Larrea, and former Correa adviser Jose Chauvin were "emissaries" for the FARC.
Ecuadorian officials said the video is doctored. Correa called the footage a "sham" and demanded the FARC clarify whether they had funded his campaign in any way.
Correa has appointed a commission to investigate the claims and the origin of the video, which he claimed was part of a right-wing campaign "to Continue reading

With the June 28 military coup in Honduras, the agreement for five United States military bases in Colombia and the intensification of a dirty propaganda campaign against Venezuela, "the big question is whether the US will look at launching a war that will undoubtedly spread throughout the region, or whether it will decide to postpone such a scenario and attempt to continue dealing regular blows.
"There is no other possible scenario."
This is how Luis Bilbao, the director of the Venezuelan-based Latin American-wide magazine America XXI, described the situation in the region to Green Left Weekly.
Bilbao has accompanied Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to various regional gatherings and has worked with the Chavez government to help build the Union of South American Nations (Unasur). He said recent US moves, which included assisting the Honduran coup, were the result of the Continue reading

View of Dhurmsala from Ex Engs office
Photographer: Unknown
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1865
Photograph of the hill-station of Dharmsala in Himachal Pradesh, with the ex Engineers Office in the foreground, from the Brandreth Collection: 'Views in Simla, Cashmere and the Punjaub' taken by an unknown photographer in the 1860s. The little bungalow above is the one known as Sir A. Lawrence's. The Imperial Gazeteer of India states, "Dharmsala, the headquarters of Kangra District, lies on a southern spur of the Dhaola Dhar ['the grey range']...in the midst of wild and picturesque scenery. It originally formed a subsidiary cantonment for the troops stationed at Kangra, and was first occupied as a station in 1849, when a site was required for a cantonment to accomodate a Native regiment which was being raised in the District. A site was found...in a plot of waste land, upon which stood an old Hindu resthuse, or dharmsala, whence the name adopted for the new cantonment...Above it the pine-clad moutain-side towers towards the loftier peaks, which, covered with snow for half the year, stand out jagged and scarred against the sky. Below, in perfect contrast, lies the luxuriant Kangra Valley, green with rice-fields and a picture of rural quiet."
Dharmsala today is the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile.

"Aqui es mi farmacia."
– Indigenous Curandero, gesturing grandly at the jungle
Working with indigenous populations and health care providers from over a dozen countries (and counting) has given us a unique perspective on the many ways healthcare can be approached. We have seen spectacular results from acupuncture or massage in very remote, rural populations and it is always a pleasure to have these resources on our team. When we have an acupuncturist, patients being seen by our medical providers for chronic pain or mental health issues frequently are referred for treatment. Time and again we have witnessed extremely impressive results.
Emotional pain and stress can easily be somaticized and present as real physical symptoms. More than one patient being treated with acupuncture for chronic neck pain has experienced a cathartic sobbing release on the acupuncture table, sharing terrible personal tragedies that they have never spoken about to anyone, and that they have been carrying inside for decades.
Additionally, we have developed very good relationships with the local curanderos (botanic medical practitioners). We afford them professional respect and recognize that the patients we are caring for are also their patients. Because we have not been dismissive, many curanderos have shared their knowledge of plant remedies with us. To date, we have documented about 75 different plant remedies used by the indigenous Ngabe with whom we work, and we are constantly impressed by the curandero's approach and recognition of the strengths and weaknesses of their and our respective types of medicine. For acupuncturists or alternative practitioners, this is an extraordinary opportunity to have proprietary, jealously-guarded knowledge passed on willingly by our curandero friends. We have seen several extremely surprising results….ask us about the cashew based topical preparation for cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
Who knows what potential remedies may be out there, just waiting to be found…
From mid January till mid December, we typically run two weekly clinical schedules—there are weeks where on Monday we do new volunteer training and work in the government nursing home we support, and deploy for single-day clinics to two different remote communities on Tuesday and Wednesday. We re-visit the nursing home, handle our clinical data and re-pack our mobile pharmacy on Thursdays, and on Friday a small team revisits both communities to do follow up while the rest of the team works on other projects. Depending on the community size, typical patient loads per clinic day run from about 40 to 130 patients.
During our second type of weekly schedule, we do new volunteer training and nursing home work on Monday, and deploy on 'multiday' clinics Tuesday-Friday to particularly remote villages, bringing hammocks and mosquito nets to live in the target community during the multiday. These clinics offer the unique opportunity to be a welcome guest in a Ngabe village and get to know your patients outside of clinic.
To make sure you are able to function effectively and safely in an unfamiliar environment, Floating Doctors staff will also offer explanations and context for everything we encounter. Our staff and volunteers often come from as many as five or more nationalities, and are enthusiastic teachers and mentors. Our volunteers gain invaluable clinical experience as well as learning the contextual approach to emergency response challenges that are practical to the surrounding resource limitations, and exposure to a lot of interesting presentations.
Years of working closely with the indigenous Ngäbe-Buglé communities in our network has forged a relationship of trust and cooperation giving our volunteers a unique access to a very different culture. Our goal for our volunteers is that their experience will be transformative, not only encouraging global thinking and a deeper understanding and appreciation of other cultures and environments, but also reinforcing the value of service not only for others but for ourselves. It is never long until the cultural differences become lost in all the ways it is clear we are the same. This is an opportunity to reach out across vast gulfs of experience, culture, geography, socioeconomic status, education, and other factors and make real connections based on our shared humanity that transcend all of those differences
When we travel and experience new things, it changes us—but when we combine real service to others with our travel, it adds a new dimension to our trip. We find that we do not take a journey; the journey takes us instead. These are trips that are not just fun, or entertaining, or a great learning experience—these are the experiences that stay with us forever, that help us define who we are, and that no one can ever take away from us.
Where You Will Be Staying:
Volunteers and staff stay at the Floating Doctors base on Isla San Cristobal, a 10-minute boat ride from the town of Bocas del Toro on Isla Colon. Our headquarters is an off-the-grid remote facility located on a mangrove island, relying on solar power, rain catchment and filtration, and biotreatment of waste. Participants sleep in our 9-room bunkhouse dormitory or in small casitas, and deploy from our base to our target communities. Our leadership and facilities staff work very hard to keep our volunteers comfortable and well-fed, but please remember that these are accommodations built and maintained with much struggle against an unforgiving environment—far more comfortable than camping, but not the Ritz! Our headquarters is a working medical support base built for the purpose of delivering health care to remote jungle communities. There is not air conditioning, but electric fans and mosquito nets are provided for every bed. Our kitchen is run by a team of women and men from the neighboring village of Valle Escondido and they are justifiably proud of the meals they prepare for us.
We ask that participants be adaptable and enjoy the adventure of living off the grid, and the sight of glowing bioluminescence at night, the occasional visiting sloth, or flocks of parrots returning home overhead at the end of the day. The mangroves and the jungle are beautiful, especially at night, and swimming or snorkeling off the dock in the warm clear tropical water is a great way to cool off at the end of a day out in the field.
Accommodations every night, and all meals from Sunday night to Friday night will be provided. Cooking facilities are available for volunteers and staff staying on base for a quiet weekend to prepare their own food; often volunteers and staff stay at hostels in Bocas town Friday and/or Saturday night to enjoy Bocas' nightlife). There is access to Wi-Fi, showers and other basic amenities. All program-related transportation is provided, as well as regular scheduled water shuttle service twice daily between Bocas town on Isla Colon and the Floating Doctors headquarters.
What you will need to apply:
We have an online application (link below) where you can fill out your information, desired dates, emergency contact info, etc. To submit the online application, you will also need to have several documents ready: AND THEY MUST BE NAMED AND FORMATTED CORRECTLY:
Naming format for uploaded documents is: Lastname_Firstname_Document
Example: A Resume for John Smith should be named "Smith_John_Resume"
Because our goal is not only providing health services locally, but also to affect health systems in the home countries of our volunteers through tropical and clinical exposure and mentoring, our volunteer selection process is very open compared to most volunteer organizations. We accept volunteers at many skill levels from bilingual veteran mission doctors to non-Spanish speaking students interested in an immersion experience. We normally have capacity throughout the year to accept people when they would like to come, although we strongly urge you to submit your application several months in advance, especially during our high season (May-July).
- One COLOR copy of your passport photo page
- One copy of your resume
- One COLOR copy of your license to practice
- One letter of intent outlining what you feel you would give to a program such as ours as well as what you hope to take away from the experience
- Two letters of recommendation
Common questions:
How long is a volunteer commitment?
We accept volunteers for varying lengths of time, from as short as one week to over a year.
Do I have to be able to speak Spanish?
No. It is highly desirable to speak Spanish, not only to function more effectively in our clinic, but also to deepen your experience interacting with our target population. We try to maintain at least 50% ratio of Spanish-speakers on our team of volunteers and leaders, and we may occasionally cap our volunteer numbers if there are not enough bilingual volunteers. We usually pair a non-Spanish-speaking volunteer with a translator or bilingual volunteer, or assign them to clinic roles that do not require Spanish.
Do I have to be a doctor to volunteer?
No. We accept Volunteers of almost all ages and backgrounds besides medical workers, because we believe that there is no talent or skill that cannot be expressed in a way that is of service to others.
Are there any costs involved?
Yes. We require a participation contribution from each volunteer that allows us to provide accommodations, meals, and all travel for our clinical and service deployments on site. Additionally, our volunteer contributions fund medications for our pharmacy, emergency and advanced care for patients, equipment repair and purchase, and almost all our other operational costs for maintaining a remote rural health care service providing help for over 10,000 patients annually.
There is a $100 deposit that is required for us to process your application and confirm your volunteer stay. Please submit payment at the time of application submission.
We rarely turn down volunteer applicants and if so we will refund your deposit. Our application process is not a competitive process and is meant to coordinate applicants so we have the right distribution of specialties, training ability, and language ability on our team at a given time, so your $100 deposit is not at risk of being forfeited.
The volunteer contribution is the backbone of our operational support–in addition to covering the costs of your accommodations and meals, they put fuel in our boats, medicine in our bags, and help cover the cost of the emergency or advanced care we get for our patients. We prefer that non-volunteer donations go towards building infrastructure and capacity, and we pride ourselves on managing almost all operational costs through our volunteer program.
Our leadership work very hard to provide a safe and rewarding experience for our volunteers and high-quality health services for our patients. Our Volunteer contribution fees are quite low compared to locally available hotel and food charges; your contribution covers your accommodations, excellent meals, and all costs associated with our teams deploying to the field. As Dr. George LaBrot always says, 'It's the most affordable way I know to have a life-changing experience.'
Here are our current contribution rates:
- $750 for one week of stay +$100 application fee ($850 total)
- $700 per week for two weeks of stay +$100 application fee ($1,500 total)
- $650 per week for 3 weeks of stay (or longer) +$100 application fee ($2,050 for 3 weeks, $650 each additional week)
Please note that full payment is not required to complete your online application; only the $100 application fee is required at the time of signing up. Full payment, or the first month if staying longer than 1 month, will be due 4 weeks prior to your arrival.
Will I actually spend most of my time doing service work, or will I see one patient and spend the rest of my time lounging around?
You will work very hard, with lots of clinical exposure and many, many opportunities to be of service. There will be ample time off at the weekends for leisure and exploring all the fun things the region has to offer, but if you are looking for somewhere you can work for one day and spend the rest of your time lying on the beach with a piña colada, and then home bragging about your medical mission trip, you are on the wrong organization's website. If you are looking to work hard and make a real difference, you have come to the right place!
When should I apply?
Right now, of course! ☺

Anglo American completes sale of SA coal project
by AKANI CHAUKE
JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – ANGLO American has completed the sale of its New Largo thermal coal project in South Africa for R850 million (approximately US$65 million).
It has been sold to New Largo Coal Proprietary Limited, which is owned by Seriti Resources and Coalzar.
The two companies are majority owned and controlled by historically disadvantaged South Africans and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC).
Norman Mbazima, Deputy Chairman of Anglo American South Africa, expressed delight to announce the completion of the sale.
"As we said upon announcing the sale in January, Seriti, Coalzar and the IDC together have excellent operating and management capabilities to develop and operate New Largo optimally and sustainably into the future."
Mbazima said the sale marked the completion of their long-standing strategy to exit Eskom-tied coal assets.
"It is yet another milestone in the sustainable transformation of the South African mining industry."

For decades there have been arguments and debates about the "state" of the Scottish uplands, and what is needed to improve them. Concern has focused especially on the impacts of high numbers of sheep and deer and on the occurrence of uncontrolled burning. Unfortunately, at the centre of these debates there has often been a failure to communicate clearly about basic facts. Until now, information about habitat impacts has come from either a few very local, very detailed studies or from more numerous surveys involving rapid, but very subjective visual assessments based on loosely defined criteria. In this guide we attempt to resolve some of these problems by providing a suite of transparent, descriptive classes and a flexible but systematic methodology which can be applied anywhere in the Scottish upland. The guide is aimed at professional field staff in the conservation agencies and non-governmental organisations, and ecological contractors undertaking field surveys. The guide is in two parts. Volume 1 provides descriptions of the habitats and impacts, the likely outlook for the habitats and their associated fauna and flora under particular impacts, and detailed instructions about how the guide should be used to carry out an impact survey. Volume 2 is a field guide giving the field indicators for each habitat and impact type.

C.I.A. Had Evidence of Russian Effort to Help Trump Earlier Than Believed
The C.I.A. told senior lawmakers in classified briefings last summer that it had information indicating that Russia was working to help elect Donald J. Trump president, a finding that did not emerge publicly until after Mr. Trump's victory months later, former government officials say.
The briefings indicate that intelligence officials had evidence of Russia's intentions to help Mr. Trump much earlier in the presidential campaign than previously thought. The briefings also reveal a critical split last summer between the C.I.A. and counterparts at the F.B.I., where a number of senior officials continued to believe through last fall that Russia's cyberattacks were aimed primarily at disrupting America's political system, and not at getting Mr. Trump elected, according to interviews.
The former officials said that in late August – 10 weeks before the election – John O. Brennan, then the C.I.A. director, was so concerned about increasing evidence of Russia's election meddling that he began a series of urgent, individual briefings for eight top members of Congress, some of them on secure phone lines while they were on their summer break.
It is unclear what new intelligence might have prompted the classified briefings. But with concerns growing both internally and publicly at the time about a significant Russian breach of the Democratic National Committee, the C.I.A. began seeing signs of possible connections to the Trump campaign, the officials said. By the campaign's final weeks, Congress and the intelligence agencies were racing to understand the scope of the Russia threat.
In an Aug. 25 briefing for Harry Reid, then the top Democrat in the Senate, Mr. Brennan indicated that Russia's hackings appeared aimed at helping Mr. Trump win the November election, according to two former officials with knowledge of the briefing.
The officials said Mr. Brennan also indicated that unnamed advisers to Mr. Trump might be working with the Russians to interfere in the election. The F.B.I. and two congressional committees are now investigating that claim, focusing on possible communications and financial dealings between Russian affiliates and a handful of former advisers to Mr. Trump. So far, no proof of collusion has emerged publicly.
Mr. Trump has rejected any suggestion of a Russian connection as "ridiculous" and "fake news." The White House has also sought to redirect the focus from the investigation and toward what Mr. Trump has said, with no evidence, was President Barack Obama's wiretapping of phones in Trump Tower during the presidential campaign.
The C.I.A. and the F.B.I. declined to comment for this article, as did Mr. Brennan and senior lawmakers who were part of the summer briefings.
In the August briefing for Mr. Reid, the two former officials said, Mr. Brennan indicated that the C.I.A., focused on foreign intelligence, was limited in its legal ability to investigate possible connections to Mr. Trump. The officials said Mr. Brennan told Mr. Reid that the F.B.I., in charge of domestic intelligence, would have to lead the way.
Days later, Mr. Reid wrote to James B. Comey, director of the F.B.I. Without mentioning the C.I.A. briefing, Mr. Reid told Mr. Comey that he had "recently become concerned" that Russia's interference was "more extensive than widely known."
In his letter, the senator cited what he called mounting evidence "of a direct connection between the Russian government and Donald Trump's presidential campaign" and said it was crucial for the F.B.I. to "use every resource available" to investigate.
Unknown to Mr. Reid, the F.B.I. had already opened a counterintelligence inquiry a month before, in late July, to examine possible links between Russia and people tied to the Trump campaign. But its existence was kept secret even from members of Congress.
Well into the fall, law enforcement officials said that the F.B.I. – including the bureau's intelligence analysts – had not found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government, as The New York Times reported on Oct. 31.
But as the election approached and new batches of hacked Democratic emails poured out, some F.B.I. officials began to change their view about Russia's intentions and eventually came to believe, as the C.I.A. had months earlier, that Moscow was trying to help get Mr. Trump elected, officials said.
It was not until early December, a month after the election, that it became publicly known in news reports that the C.I.A. had concluded that Moscow's motivation was to get Mr. Trump elected.
In January, intelligence officials publicly released a declassified version of their findings, concluding that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had "aspired to help" Mr. Trump to win the election and harm Hillary Clinton, a longtime adversary.
By then, both the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. said they had "high confidence" that Russia was trying to help Mr. Trump by hacking into the internal emails of the Democratic National Committee and of some Clinton aides. (The National Security Agency expressed only "moderate confidence" that the Russians were trying to help him.)
Last month, Mr. Comey publicly acknowledged the continuing investigation for the first time at a House hearing on Russia's influence on the election and said the F.B.I. was examining possible links between Trump associates and Russia for evidence of collusion.
One factor in the C.I.A. analysis last summer was that American intelligence agencies learned that Russia's cyberattacks had breached Republican targets as well as Democrats. But virtually none of the hacked Republican material came out publicly, while the Russians, working through WikiLeaks and other public outlets, dumped substantial amounts of Democratic material damaging to Mrs. Clinton's campaign.
Some intelligence officials were wary of pushing too aggressively before the election with questions about possible links between Russia and the Trump campaign because of concerns it might be seen as an improper political attempt to help Mrs. Clinton.
But after her loss, a number of Mrs. Clinton's supporters have said that Mr. Comey and other government officials should have revealed more to the public during the campaign season about what they knew of Russia's motivations and possible connections to the Trump campaign.
The classified briefings that the C.I.A. held in August and September for the so-called Gang of Eight – the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and the Senate and of the intelligence committees in each chamber – show deep concerns about the impact of the election meddling.
In the briefings, the C.I.A. said there was intelligence indicating not only that the Russians were trying to get Mr. Trump elected but that they had gained computer access to multiple state and local election boards in the United States since 2014, officials said.
Although the breached systems were not involved in actual vote-tallying operations, Obama administration officials proposed that the eight senior lawmakers write a letter to state election officials warning them of the possible threat posed by Russian hacking, officials said.
But Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican majority leader, resisted, questioning the underpinnings of the intelligence, according to officials with knowledge of the discussions. Mr. McConnell ultimately agreed to a softer version of the letter, which did not mention the Russians but warned of unnamed "malefactors" who might seek to disrupt the elections through online intrusion. The letter, dated Sept. 28, was signed by Mr. McConnell, Mr. Reid, Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Representative Nancy Pelosi, the ranking Democrat.
On Sept. 22, two other members of the Gang of Eight – Senator Dianne Feinstein and Representative Adam B. Schiff, both of California and the ranking Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committees – released their own statement about the Russian interference that did not mention Mr. Trump or his campaign by name.
But they did say that "based on briefings we have received, we have concluded that the Russian intelligence agencies are making a serious and concerted effort to influence the U.S. election."
"At the least, this effort is intended to sow doubt about the security of our election and may well be intended to influence the outcomes of the election," they added.
The F.B.I., the N.S.A. and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence also held a classified briefing on Sept. 6 for congressional staff members about the wave of Russian hacks and "the current and ongoing threat facing U.S. political organizations during this national political season," according to a government official.
These new details show Congress and the intelligence agencies racing in the campaign's final weeks to understand the scope of the Russian threat. But Democrats and Republicans who were privy to the classified briefings often saw the intelligence through a political prism, sparring over whether it could be construed as showing that the Russians were helping Mr. Trump.
The briefings left Mr. Reid frustrated with the F.B.I.'s handling of Russia's election intrusion, especially after the agency said in late October – 11 days before the election – that it was re-examining Mrs. Clinton's emails.
Mr. Reid fired off another letter on Oct. 30, accusing Mr. Comey of a "double standard" in reviving the Clinton investigation while sitting on "explosive information" about possible ties between Russia and Mr. Trump.
"The public," Mr. Reid wrote said, "has a right to know this information."

The standard Klingon armed shuttle, the Kho'Tak is different from other race's shuttles in that it was designed from the
beginning as an auxiliary combat craft. Though not very often used in this manner, skilled Klingon warriors can use
Kho'Tak Fighter Shuttles with great success in defense of the fleet. Armed with a single disruptor beam, Kho'Tak shuttles
are especially effective at ripping down enemy shielding, or darting in on attack runs on ships whose shields have collapsed.
For scenarios that require the use of basic Klingon shuttlecraft, simply use an unarmed version of the Kho'Tak shuttle.
Based on a design by Roman Alexander Perner, the Kho'Tak is the standard Klingon attack shuttle. Note that Klingon ships
do not get "free" Kho'Taks with their ships.

RNC panel approves change to keep S.C.'s presidential primary first in the South
South Carolina Republicans successfully lobbied their national party's rules committee to endorse a plan that would keep South Carolina's GOP presidential primary as the first in the South.
The change would allow the four states that traditionally hold early primaries or caucuses -- Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada--to move their voting up to one month before other states states without risking the loss of half their national convention delegates.
The Republican National Committee's rules committee, which consists of one representative from each state, made the decision Thursday at its meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz., according to a release from the South Carolina GOP.
The rule must be approved at the Republican National Convention in August before it takes effect.
York County GOP Chairman Glenn McCall, who represents South Carolina on the Republican National Committee, played an instrumental role in lobbying the rules committee toward the decision, but he did it without arguing himself, he said Friday.
"It's always the early states that are out fighting...to maintain our position," he said.
His strategy was to ask representatives of non-early states instead to argue for the change. Several stepped forward, he said.
Protecting the four states' early voting is important to the party, because those states act as testing grounds for candidates to get out their messages and see if they resonate, McCall said.
"We're small enough that candidates with no name (recognition) and limited funds can come in and campaign and not have to worry about going to a big state like Florida," he said.
The committee is also considering a rule change to increase penalties against other states moving their primaries up.
The rule change will prevent the "unintended consequences" that happened when Florida moved its primary ahead of traditional early states, forcing the four states wanting to maintain their early status to move ahead and take the penalty of losing half their delegates to the national convention, state GOP Chairman Chad Connelly said.
Party members were "dismayed" at Florida's move, Connelly said, adding that the decision "created chaos in the (primary) schedule."
There has been talk of increasing the penalty to 60 or 70 percent, McCall said.
Connelly and McCall said the step is an important first hurdle to clear, and it's hard to say whether supporters of the rule will face pushback at the convention.
"Whether or not we'll face a lot of opposition, it's hard to say," Connelly said. "I think all the right people are lining up with us."

Kathryn and Mitch (Eleanor too) are hiking Mount LeConte today. We are keeping the other 3 grandchildren. We're sleeping here and then taking the boys to school in Dickson and staying in Dickson for a while. I loaded up with kid friendly snacks and lunches.
Kathryn and Mitch have hiked LeConte for several years now with Church friends from Memphis. They are staying at an old Motor Inn (built in the 30's I believe) that has been remodeled. You rent the entire Inn. There are 10 rooms with bathrooms, a large community kitchen and dining room along with lounging areas with a TV. I'm sure that I will get an assessment.
Henry doesn't go to PreSchool on Fridays so that will make it a little easier.
We had twin beds that we put in the kids bedroom. When Eleanor arrived, she took over the Pack-N-Play that Maggie was sleeping in. We couldn't decide what kind of bed to buy Maggie. Finally we found an ottoman that folds out to be a bed. It is perfect for the kids room. When we need the bed for Maggie, we just unfold the bed. Maggie just loves it-she says "My new bed". It isn't very high off the floor and we bought her new sheets. She loves sleeping on it. It could be also that her bed is between her brothers beds.
Maggie and Henry slept until 8:30 and they are eating their cereal now.

When it comes to who's running the game as a Male Artist in the R&B/Hip Hop world right now, I've already made it clear, it's your boy Kell's, so since we're keeping it 100; the Female Artist its none other than the Queen herself Ms. Mary J. Blige.
Mary has the honor of being the only artist with Grammy wins in R&B, Rap, Pop and Gospel. REAL TALK! Last year Billboards Magazine ranked MJB as the most successful female R&B artist of the past 25 years, she held down the number 2 spot overall. Mary's been banging out hits after hits from 1992 till this day.
MJB's swag is unmatched by today's newer artists. Her list of top guest features in the Hip Hop game is ridiculously long, radio loves her and the clubs can't get enough of her. No disrespect to all the hot new artists coming out right now but REAL TALK, MJB is the Truth and that's why she's the Undisputed Queen of the R&B hands down. Check out my DJ Blaze/Mary Blige Takeover Set on my mixtapes section, peep what I'm talking about.

Lise Watier Chic & Rustique Palette. Review and Swatches
Boy do I have a surprise for you! Last week I attended a Lise Watier event and got a sneak peek at the new Fall 2016 Chic & Rustique collection. The line-up features a few launches that made my heart skip a beat but the star of the collection for me was the Chic & Rustique Palette.
The package is a sturdy rose gold plastic with a pretty cool design on top. The palette opens to reveal a full size mirror that can stand up on its own which is incredibly handy for when you're on the go or travelling. There are 6 shades in the palette, all on the warm side but with a variety of finishes. Starting from the left we have a matte nude color that's nicely pigmented, followed by a buttery gold shade that's richly pigmented. The third shade is a matte rusty brick that packs a punch, this shade is bold and beautiful. The fourth shade is a shimmery olive that's quite pigmented, soft and buttery. The second to last shade is a shimmery taupe that feels stiff in the pan and has pretty bad pigmentation. The last shade in the palette is matte brown with great color pay off.
All shades can be used dry or wet, altough pretty much all of the shades are incredibly pigmented I find these colors pop when used wet. The matte shades are rich and lovely to work with, the shades are all stunning and perform amazingly; the shimmery shades with the exception of that second last one are rich and creamy and apply and blend like a dream.
All in all, this palette is a bang on and the shades are exceptional. That rusty brick shade is so absolutely beautiful that it makes this palette worth buying just for it. To see the shades in action check out two quick looks I came up with below, one is a more traditional cut crease while the other one is a rusty smokey eye where I used the shadows wet to add a little more depth and intensity. Ah, I simply can't stop playing with this palette.

Illinois Department on Aging observes Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day and World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
These observances serve as a reminder to end elder abuse
SPRINGFIELD, IL – In observance of Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day and Elder Abuse Awareness Day, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) encourages residents to recognize the serious yet often overlooked issue of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This year marks the first Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day in Illinois on June 14 and the 10th anniversary of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15.
"Here in Illinois there are more than two million older adults ages 60 and older,†said Illinois Department on Aging Director John K. Holton, Ph.D. "In honor of Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day and World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, let us respect our elders and protect the most vulnerable by learning more about elder rights and abuse prevention.â€
Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner proclaimed June 14, 2015 as Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day (proclamation follows this release). The day recognizes grandparent rights and the negative effects of being alienated from a child's life. The national non-profit organization, GRAND USA (Grandparent Rights Advocates National Delegation), will be hosting a webinar on June 14 on grandparent rights and promoting healthy family relationships.
"GRAND USA feels that Illinois children deserve strong family bonds. Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day will focus attention on the plight of thousands of grandchildren and grandparents who are denied loving relationships for a variety of reasons,†said Lilly Black, Founder of Grand USA.
June 15 marks the observance of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. This day highlights the need to end physical, emotional, and financial abuse of elders. Around the world, supporters honor the day by wearing purple to show solidarity in ending elder abuse and neglect.
"Last year, there were more than 14,000 reports of elder abuse in Illinois. While that may seem high, it shows an increase in awareness,†said Director Holton. "Everyday seniors are abused and exploited; sometimes by those they trust the most. I encourage everyone to support World Elder Abuse Awareness Day by wearing the color purple to show you want an end to elder abuse.â€
The Adult Protective Services Program within IDoA responds to reports of mistreatment and exploitation against older adults in the community. The program is coordinated through providers trained to assist and/or intervene. If you or someone you know is a victim, call local law enforcement or the Departments' 24-hour Adult Protective Services Hotline at 866-800-1409.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was launched on June 15, 2006, by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA):Â http://ncea.aoa.gov/Get_Involved/Awareness/WEAAD/index.aspx

The text of the Governor's proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, strong family relationships constitute the foundation of our community; and,
WHEREAS, alienation behaviors are frequently present in high-conflict divorces, seperations, asymmetrical custody arrangements, and in intact marriages, often causing mental and emotional anguish to children; and
WHEREAS, alienation is a term used to describe any number of behaviors and attitudes on the part of one or both parents designed to interfere, damage or destroy the relationship between a child and family member; and,
WHEREAS, alienation takes advantage of the innocent and impressionable, as well as the suggestibility and dependency of a child depriving children of their right to love and be loved by their extended family; and,
WHEREAS mental health professionals agree that the negative effects of alienation can follow a child into adulthood with tragic consequences; and,
WHEREAS the recently published Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) made several references to the dysfunctional family dynamic of alienation to be a form of psychological child abuse; and,
WHEREAS Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day is intended to increase the knowledge and understanding of this problem to help families, institutions, the legal and mental health community, and leaders to beter identify and combat such abusive behavior to children;
THEREFORE, I, Bruce Rauner, Governor of the State of Illinois, do hereby proclaim June 14, 2015 as GRANDPARENT ALIENATION AWARENESS DAY in Illinois.

This Monday, a ruling coalition will discuss whether the IDF may issue an order allowing the employment of soldiers in the IDF Radio station on Shabbos. The debate is expected to be stormy, with members from Shas, United Torah Judaism, Habayit HaYehidu and part of the Likud poised to object strenuously to the idea.
The matter was supposed to be discussed in a meeting planned for tomorrow between MK Uri Ariel (National Union) and three representatives from the defense establishment: Minister Shalom Simchon, who is a close ally of Defense Minister Ehud Barak; Barak's Head of Staff, Yoni Koren, and IDF Radio Commander Yitzchak Tunik. However, the meeting was surprisingly called off today by the Defense Ministry. In response to the cancellation, MK Ariel turned to Coalition Chairman MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud), who promised that he would place the matter on the agenda for the coming weekly coalition session.
IDF Radio is a military station that employs civilians as well as IDF officers, NCOs and soldiers in mandatory service. It broadcasts seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Soldiers are employed in the station on Shabbos, in apparent contravention of military orders that forbid employing a mandatory-service soldier on Jewish holy days in any role that is not essential for security. In 2008, the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel petitioned the High Court and asked it to instruct the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff to forbid the employment of mandatory-service soldiers in the station on Shabbos and chagim. In response to the petition, it was recently reported, IDF jurists prepared a new General Staff Basic Order that would allow the station to use mandatory-service soldiers on Shabbos and chagim. A final draft of the order has been handed to Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi for signing. This news led MK Ariel to ask that the coalition discuss the subject in a meeting in early June. However, after Minister Simchon asked to meet with him, he agreed to postpone the move. Now that the Defense Ministry has abruptly canceled the meeting, Ariel is once again taking it to the coalition.
