The faithful are supporting the pro-life movement in many small ways. Some contribute their art, legal or medical advice, knit blankets for babies, mail out requested materials, run crisis pregnancy centers, manage websites, make phone calls and otherwise contribute to protecting the dignity of life in all stages.
Grass-roots movement
"It really is a movement," said Richard Doerflinger, associate director of the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "It's not just an organization or any one campaign. It's something that came up from the grass roots. It's almost an uncountable number of things that are happening."
In 1975, the bishops' Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities addressed perspectives including information and education, public policy efforts and pastoral care, especially to women with unplanned pregnancies, and integrating prayer and liturgical life.
"The vast majority of people in the pro-life movement are unsung heroes," Doerflinger told Our Sunday Visitor.
Although many have never been heard of nor received public recognition, they continue to be "of enormous importance" with their contributions.
New generation
"One of the great reasons for hope in the movement is the active involvement of so many young people," he added. "There's a new generation who are very enthusiastic and very committed."
And there's no such thing as too young. "My grandchild, who is 18 months old, prays with us for the babies," said Tama Kain, who teaches religion and English at St. Patrick School in McCook, Neb.
Kain organized students to collect diapers for an annual project sponsored by the Lincoln Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, who always exceed their goal of donating 50,000 diapers to Catholic Social Services and crisis pregnancy centers. The 50 participating St. Patrick students contributed 6,056.
Pro-life music efforts
When the collection ended in October, the students had a pro-life program and sang the song, "We Want to See the World."
The song was written by David Burke of Duluth, Ga., a musician, composer of sacred songs and music leader at Mary Our Queen Church in Norcross.
"When the melody came to me, I pictured an angel singing back and forth with children," he said. "God sent me this song to be heard by expectant parents contemplating an abortion."
The lyrics are a dialogue between unborn children who are asking their parents to bring them into the world. It's the most requested song he's ever written, and he makes the sheet music available for free to churches, schools and pro-life organizations (DavidBurkeSongs.com).
When a group performed it at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., Burke said, there was not a dry eye among the thousands attending.
"God is using me as a vessel to bring his voice and message to the world in song," he said. "I have a dream that some person comes to me someday and says my song made his or her parents choose life instead of an abortion."
Spiritual adoption
Linda Brenegan of the Respect Life Program in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Md., created paintings that are popular in the pro-life movement. They include a series depicting prenatal development and Little Sweet One posters that are used worldwide for education and in spiritual adoption programs.
Bob Paige of Novi, Mich., sends the paintings out in his solo operation of SpiritualAdoption.org. He initially made and mailed out prayer cards before founding one of the spiritual adoption programs in the United States. Parishes that participate request packets of materials, and so far, he has distributed 3 million cards.
On Dec. 10, Knights of Columbus in Laredo, Texas, will process to the International Bridge where, at the halfway point, they'll meet Knights from Monterey, Mexico. The American Knights will hand over four silver roses — representing the pro-life movement — to complete the roses' journey from Canada. Since 1960, the annual Running of the Rose has symbolized unity in pro-life efforts among North American Catholics. It concludes on Dec. 12, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in Monterey.
"This has tremendously strengthened my faith because through the Holy Spirit, I am helping people to end abortion," Paige said. "People are praying for all these little babies."
Pamela Grothaus joined the spiritual adoption program at St. Leo the Great Parish in Bonita Springs, Fla. It started in March and ends on Dec. 25 to coincide with Christmas. In the months in between, participants receive emails with prayers, information about prenatal development and Brenegan's art.
"Prayer is critical," Grothaus told OSV. "The power and intentions behind it make a difference."
Getting the message out
John Hergenroeder III, an outdoor advertising specialist in Newville, Pa., makes pro-life billboard posters and hand-held posters, some of which are based on Brenegan's art (prolifebillboards.com).
"Outdoor advertising is a way to reach more people more often, for less money than any other media," he said. "When you talk about the sheer volume of people who pass by, it's a great way to get the message out."
One of the most gratifying returns, he said, is when he hears that someone chose life because of seeing his hand-held placards.
Lobbying for life
Father Patrick Delahanty and attorney Jason Hall sometimes spend weeks sitting in session when Kentucky legislators convene.
As the public policy arm of the Catholic Conference of Kentucky, they stay in touch with lawmakers and keep track of bills that are relevant to the framework of Catholic thought and teaching on social justice and life issues.
"It's very important to be there and to be watchful," Father Delahanty said. "If you don't show up, they're going to be listening to someone else."
Maryann Gogniat Eidemiller writes from Pennsylvania. This is the last in a three-part Year of Faith series on the diversity of faithful within the Church.

Our man Jack: Rep. Jack Brooks, 1922-2012
The message from the family came suddenly, without warning.
"Long-term area Congressman Jack Brooks died this evening, Dec. 4, 2012, at Beaumont Baptist Hospital after a sudden illness. Congressman Brooks, just shy of his 90th birthday, passed peacefully surrounded by his family. The family asks that our privacy be respected as we grieve our loss."
Jack Brooks – a towering figure in the history of Southeast Texas – is survived by his wife, the former Charlotte Collins, who he married in 1960; children Jeb Brooks, Kate Brooks Carroll and her husband Rod, and Kim Brooks; and grandchildren Matthew Carroll and Brooke Carroll.
Our Man Jack
Jack Bascom Brooks wasn't born in Texas, but he got here as soon as he could. A native of Crowley in Acadia Parish, La., he moved with his family to Beaumont in 1927 before his fifth birthday.
This son of Beaumont attended public schools here while working as a grocery clerk, magazine salesman and a carhop at the Pig Stand on Railroad Avenue (now Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway). He told the story about the time Ben Rogers first came to town and Brooks waited on him.
"He tipped me a nickel," recalled Brooks with a twinkle in his eye. Rogers would later found Texas State Optical and become one of Beaumont's most influential citizens – as would the carhop who waited on him so long ago.
After graduating from Beaumont High School, Brooks enrolled in Lamar Junior College in 1939, where he majored in journalism. Reportedly he worked 54 hours a week at the Beaumont Enterprise while at Lamar, completing his first two years of college there in June 1941. He finished his Bachelor of Journalism degree at the University of Texas at Austin, but urgent events in the world called him to serve, not for the last time.
Brooks enlisted as a private in the United States Marine Corps on Nov. 7, 1942, serving overseas twenty-three and one-half months. He saw heavy fighting on Guadalcanal, Guam, Okinawa, and in North China.
His first combat action came at Guadalcanal, one of the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, where a battle raged for more than six months. By the time Japanese forces were driven from the island, the Allies had lost 7,100 men killed in action with 29 ships and 615 aircraft destroyed. The Japanese casualty rate was ferocious, with 31,000 killed in the battle.
That was typical of the bloody war in the Pacific as the Allies fought for every inch of every island on the way toward a planned invasion of Japan, with a casualty rate expected to exceed 100,000 Allied troops. That invasion never materialized because Japan surrendered after a devastating nuclear bomb attack.
Years later, a reporter for The Examiner noted that Brooks was among the troops in the Pacific waiting for the order to invade Japan that never came. Had President Truman made the right decision to drop the bomb on Japan? Brooks, then well into his 80s, stiffened at the question, which has been the subject of some historical debate over the years.
"You're damn right he did," said Brooks fiercely, his blue eyes flashing. "And he dropped two."
Brooks was discharged as a first lieutenant April 23, 1946, but maintained strong ties with the military as a colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1946 to 1972.
Man of the House
Like a lot of the young men returning from World War II, Jack Brooks was in a hurry to get on with his life. He felt called to public service and in 1946 was elected to the Texas House of Representatives. While representing Jefferson County, he authored the bill making Lamar a four-year institution – the first new senior college in Texas in 25 years.
He never forgot his alma mater. Brooks was honored as a Distinguished Alumnus of Lamar in 1975. The Jack Brooks Center for Government and Public Service was established at LU in 1983 and, until about three years ago, housed Brooks' papers, spanning his congressional career. The Center, including a replication of Brooks' Washington, D.C., office, is on the seventh floor of the Mary and John Gray Library. His impact on Lamar continues through the Jack Brooks Chair in Political Science, which he established in 1997.
A statue in his honor adorns the campus quadrangle. A Southeast Texas Legends Endowed Scholarship was established in his honor by the Beaumont Foundation of America in 2008. At the formal presentation of the scholarship, foundation chairman and CEO Wayne A. Reaud said of Brooks, "He's a man you can ride the river with… . The Brooks that I know is Brooks the man. He exemplifies all of the qualities I hold dear. He is loyal. He understands that loyalty is the rarest and most valuable of all human qualities. His word is his bond. I can tell you it was hard to get his commitment, but when Jack Brooks gave you his word you could take it to the bank… He was courageous and great, and he would not run off and leave you in a fight… Time after time after time, when he had to choose between the people of America and what was good for big business, he chose the people and that is a very significant point."
After three terms in the Texas House, Brooks took his talents – and drive – to the national stage. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1952, where he served for 42 consecutive years.
His stat line – like you might read on the back, if there was such a thing as a Congressional baseball card – is impressive:
Brooks represented the 2nd District of Texas from 1953 through 1966 and the 9th District from 1967 through 1994. Brooks served as chairman of the House Government Operations Committee, the Select Committee on Congressional Operations, the Joint Committee on Congressional Operations, and the Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security. In 1979, Congressman Brooks became the Dean of the Texas Delegation, the member with the longest tenure in the Congress.
But you have to read between the lines to take the full measure of the congressman in a time when Democrats dominated Texas politics – and Democrats from Texas had huge influence in Washington. Brooks was a protégé of fellow Texan and legendary 21-year Democratic House Speaker Sam Rayburn, of whom he once said, "I'm just like old man Rayburn — just a Democrat, no prefix or suffix."
Another Rayburn protégé was Lyndon Johnson, already well established in the Senate by the time Brooks made it to town. They became friends, neighbors and close political collaborators until LBJ's death in 1973.
Speaker Rayburn named Brooks to the House Judiciary Committee in 1955; he served there until 1995, the last six as chairman, putting him at the crossroads of many historic events. But Brooks wasn't just a witness to history. He was a frontline participant who helped shape his times.
When John F. Kennedy tapped Lyndon Johnson as his vice-presidential nominee in 1960, Brooks ran the campaign in his district, which Kennedy carried by 40,000 votes. Three years later, Brooks was in the motorcade in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, when the president was assassinated.
He can be seen in one of the most famous news photographs of the 20th century as Johnson was sworn in as president on Air Force One. Brooks is standing behind Jacqueline Kennedy.
When LBJ picked up the mantle of the slain president to pass a civil rights act, Brooks was already on board. In October 1963, Brooks had been the only one of nine Southerners on the judiciary committee to vote for the Kennedy administration's civil rights bill.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964, co-authored by Brooks, became law and he was one of 11 out of 92 Southerners to vote for it on the House floor in 1964. Martin Luther King came to the White House for the signing of that historic legislation; also present that day was Jack Brooks.
When he died, the New York Times described Brooks as "an irascible, cigar-chomping former Texas congressman who over 42 years defied fellow Southerners to support civil rights, investigated abuses by Presidents Nixon and Reagan and repeatedly attacked government waste, down to the cost of wrenches" and noted he was "a swashbuckling Texas character in his own right. His politics were pro-labor, pro-gun, fiercely partisan and boldly unapologetic, particularly when it came to funneling federal funds to his East Texas district."
Truth, Justice and the American Way
From his seat on the House Judiciary Committee, Brooks had a chance to weigh in on the legal issues of the day for over 40 years. He was already in Washington when Eisenhower made Richard Nixon his vice-president, but Brooks was never a fan of the man many Democrats called "Tricky Dick."
Brooks once said he would have voted to impeach President Nixon on Jan. 21, 1969, but it "would not have looked good" to do it the day after he was inaugurated. Five and a half years later, he did more than that — he helped draft the articles of impeachment that prompted Nixon to resign.
A junior attorney who worked for the House Judiciary Committee during that time caught Brooks' attention. Her name was Hilary Rodham, and he would endorse her candidacy for president of the United States 34 years later in 2008 after having backed her future husband Bill Clinton for the same office in 1992 and 1996.
A decade later, Brooks would help lead the House investigation of a bizarre scheme by the administration of Ronald Reagan to sell arms to Iran, then an enemy of the U.S. under an arms embargo. The plan – which became known as the Iran-Contra affair – was to use Israel as a middle-man to ship the arms and free seven American hostages being held by a group with Iranian ties. The proceeds of the weapon sales were diverted to fund anti-Sandinista and anti-communist rebels, or Contras, in Nicaragua – a violation of U.S. law under the Boland Amendment. It was a disaster by any measure – trading arms for hostages, illegally supplying Nicaraguan rebels – and the wheels came off in front of Brooks' committee as details of the rogue operation run out of the White House basement by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council became public.
Two of the central figures in the scandal – Admiral John Poindexter, Reagan's national security adviser, and Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams testified to the judiciary committee about the debacle. Brooks called each "a lying son of a bitch." Those words proved prophetic as both Poindexter and Abrams were convicted of multiple counts including perjury. Also indicted were Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Defense, and William Casey, director of the CIA, along with North and a host of other high-ranking administration officials. Most were eventually pardoned by President George H.W. Bush, who had been vice-president when the wrongdoing occurred but was never proved to have been involved.
Another significant part of the Brooks legacy can also be traced to Speaker Rayburn, who long ago named Brooks to the House Government Operations Committee, a panel Brooks eventually would chair. Brooks was known for tolerating no nonsense from bureaucrats he suspected of wasting taxpayer money.
He authored a law that required full and open competition to be the standard for awarding federal contracts. The 1965 Brooks Act set policy for the government's computer acquisition program, requiring competitive bidding and central management. His Inspector General Act established independent Offices of the Inspector General in major agencies to prevent fraud and waste.
Other Brooks bills reduced federal paperwork, provided a uniform system of federal procurement, eliminated overlapping audit requirements and established the Department of Education.
"He literally has saved American taxpayers billions of dollars through his actions in improving government efficiency and eliminating waste," former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe, a longtime friend who died in 2010, said two years earlier when Brooks donated his congressional papers, photos, correspondence and other items to the Center for American History at the University of Texas.
"Congressman Brooks played an integral role in shaping our national policy from the Cold War era of the 1950s to the global economy of the 1990s," said Don Carleton, executive director of the center now named for Briscoe. "We mourn his passing, but his legacy lives on. His papers will provide historians and researchers with tremendous insight into the critical issues America faced in the second half of the twentieth century."
Serve the people
It wasn't just weighty matters of state that concerned Congressman Brooks. Constituent services – helping the people in his district navigate the government maze – is an important aspect of a representative's work not recognized by many people – at least until they need help.
Bill Lytle, a former classmate at Beaumont High, was a Brooks friend for years who became a legislative aide in the Beaumont office in the 1970s, helping local folks with issues dealing with the VA, Social Security, IRS and other agencies, federal and otherwise.
"He was always looking out for the people of Jefferson County, of his district," said Lytle. "Anything he could do to help them, all they had to do was call him and he'd help them."
Lytle recalled a case that had no connection to the federal government.
"One guy was trying to get into college here in Texas and he didn't have any luck, so he called Jack Brooks and Jack Brooks called the college and talked to them and it wasn't long – a couple days later – they called this young man and told them they had an opening for him to come to school there," said Lytle.
Although the name of this aspiring student is lost to the mists of time – the school was Texas Tech University – the incident described by Lytle was indicative of the Jack Brooks approach. While it became fashionable in some circles to decry government as the problem, not the solution, Brooks knew better that solving the real problems of real people large and small was a worthy endeavor and put that belief into practice throughout his public career and beyond.
Another illustrative example came from a family in Vidor whose son had joined the Navy in the early 1980s. He had been taking Dilantin and phenobarbital for epilepsy and had not had a seizure for nearly three years. The Navy recruiter told him not to mention it, and the young man weaned himself from the medication. He was doing great in basic training, selected as a squad leader with talk of Officer Candidate School when a drug test detected traces of the phenobarbital still in his body long after he stopped taking it. Angry Naval officials demanded to know the name of the recruiter but the young man refused to ruin the guy's career so he was threatened with a court martial and dishonorable discharge, a black mark he would carry the rest of his life.
His teenaged sister heard the story and thought it so unfair she called her Congressman's office as her father scoffed at the futility of it all. Two days later her little sister answered the phone and said, "It's for you. He says he's Congressman Jack Brooks."
She told the Examiner she described the situation to Brooks, who said he would make a couple of phone calls and see what he could do. Two days later her happy brother called home to say everything had changed – he was being given a medical discharge under honorable conditions. Days later, Brooks called the family back to ask if everything had been taken care of."
Many years later, the girl – now a married woman with children – moved onto a street in the same middle-class neighborhood in the West End of Beaumont where Brooks and his wife Charlotte lived. One day she had a chance to relate to Brooks the story of how he had helped her family.
"Of course he didn't remember it, but said he made sure to return every call that came into his office," she said. Brooks listened attentively to her recitation then asked one question.
"Did I fix it?" he inquired.
"Yes, sir, you did," was her reply,
"OK then," he said with a smile.
Michael "Shane" Sinegal is a former Port Arthur City Councilman who is currently Precinct 3 commissioner for Jefferson County, but his first experiences with Jack Brooks came long before he took his own place in the halls of power.
"My mom was about to lose her house over some issue when I was young, and she made a call to Congressman Brooks in 1969 or 1970, and he made one call and she still lives in that house today," Sinegal recalled. "I don't remember the specifics of it all, but he has always been good to this community. … Congressman Brooks was good to us, and his support of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act means a lot."
Carl Parker, the long-time state senator and current Examiner columnist, knew Brooks for most of his life.
"Jack ran for office when I was a teenager. That was one of my first involvements in politics, nailing up signs for Brooks all the way from Port Arthur to Jasper along with my dad. Brooks was a lot like Lyndon Johnson in a way; he was a master of political maneuvering and how to move people in the legislative process," he said.
Parker chuckled when asked to recall his long relationship with Brooks. "Jack and I have always been friends but I think he was a little leery for a short time that I may have ambitions to be in Congress," recalled Parker. "I remember I was in Washington, D.C., one time and it was about 5 degrees and nasty weather, and I stopped by his office and told him, 'Jack, I may consider living in Washington, D.C., to be a United States Senator, but I sure as heck wouldn't do it just to be a Congressman.' I think that kind of alleviated that stuff. He was a great friend of my dad's, and he and I have always been good friends. He introduced me to the Supreme Court when I got admitted (to practice law before) the Supreme Court of the United States."
But in 1994, the year of the Republican "Contract with America" led by Newt Gingrich finally caught up with Brooks. The 42 years he'd spent in Congress was seen as more of a liability than asset, and a lightly credentialed Republican who had run before named Steve Stockman narrowly ousted him. Well-funded Republicans, anti-abortion organizers and the gun lobby created a perfect storm that cost Brooks his seat.
After he came home for good, Brooks continued to receive prestigious awards. On April 23, 2001, NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin presented the agency's highest honor, the Distinguished Service Medal, to Brooks at a ceremony in the John Gray Center of Lamar University. Goldin cited Brooks' longstanding support of the U.S. space program and praised his role in "strengthening the agency during its formative years." Goldin, who served as NASA administrator from 1992 until 2002, added "Congressman Brooks took it upon himself to personally deliver support to one of the agency's key programs: the design, development, and on-orbit assembly of the International Space Station."
In 2010, a standing-room-only crowd at Jefferson County Commissioners Court cheered as county leaders voted unanimously to rename the Southeast Texas Regional Airport after Jack Brooks.
"This is an honor that is well-deserved for Jack Brooks," said attorney Hubert Oxford III, who spearheaded the initiative along with attorney and local philanthropist Wayne Reaud. "Jack Brooks has done so much for our County. … if you drink water in Jefferson County, thank Jack Brooks. What I have found outstanding is that in the two weeks since we made this presentation that the number of people who called me to tell me their story and how Jack Brooks saved their house or he got someone's veteran's benefits or did that — on and on. The number of people he helped in our community is overwhelming. It is a great day for Jefferson County."
Although we couldn't have known it at the time, it was a great day for all of us in 1927 when the Brooks family moved to Beaumont with their young son Jack. We won't see his likes again. Godspeed, Jack.

A drinker who broke a man's nose was jailed for 16 months because it was his second night club attack.
Derby Crown Court heard, last Tuesday, how Robert Ward, 25, had been given a suspended prison sentence for the first offence but carried out a similar assault in a Chesterfield club.
Judge Michael Fowler said the suspended sentence was intended to give him the opportunity to stay out of trouble.
He told Ward of Lockoford Lane, Stonegravels, Chesterfield: "It is easy to imagine your euphoria and sense of relief. One would have hoped you had learned your lesson.
"It is plain in the reference from your employer and in the pre-sentence report that the majority of the time you are a hard working responsible young man.
"Obviously you have a streak of violence which reveals itself when you are drunk."
Ward admitted assault causing actual bodily harm after the incident in June.
Alex Wolfson, prosecuting, said: "It was almost an identical assault in terms of time and place and delivery. It was one punch.
"It broke the nose which was obviously flattened."
The 19-year-old victim also needed dental work on two teeth and suffered a cut to the face.
Annette Thomas, mitigating, described Ward as a hard-working man who was a sub-contractor for a utility firm.
Mrs Thomas said: "He accepts it is drink which has influenced the way he has acted and his behaviour in public."
She told the judge Ward got married last year and cared for three children.
Ward had also co-operated with the police during their investigation.
Mrs Thomas added: "Ultimately, that co-operation has gone on to lead to his appearance before the court as well as being recognised by an officer who perhaps dealt with him on the previous occasion."

LAKELAND, Fla. – Junior designated hitter Andrew Moore drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI double in the bottom of the seventh inning, and sophomore right-hander Greg Lyons allowed just one run over the final 3.2 frames as the Yale baseball team came from behind to beat Army, 9-6, on Sunday afternoon in Lakeland, Fla. as a part of the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational. In addition, junior third baseman Andy Megee smacked his team-leading third home run of the spring.
With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 5-2-1. Army, the defending Patriot League Champion and a 2009 NCAA Regional Finalist, falls to 5-3 in defeat.
"We beat a very good baseball team today," said Mazzuto Family Head Coach John Stuper.
Megee was one of three Yale players to notch two RBI, as sophomore catcher Ryan Brenner and senior centerfielder Stephen Miehls each drove in a pair as well. Junior second baseman Gant Elmore continued his hot hitting out of the leadoff spot with a 3-for-5 performance.
On the mound, freshman lefthander Christopher O'Hare made his second career start. The southpaw scattered eight hits over the first 5.1 innings, allowing three earned runs. He also struck out six batters and walked five. Lyons (1-0) came on in relief and surrendered only four hits and one earned run over the remainder of the contest to pick up his first career victory. The righty recorded four strikeouts and did not walk a batter.
"O'Hare pitched well; he really battled against tough hitters all day," said Stuper. "And Greg Lyons continues to throw extremely well out of the bullpen."
Army's starting pitcher, Ben Koenigsfeld, also turned in a solid start. The junior right-hander, who was the Most Valuable Player of last season's Patriot League Tournament, struck out nine Yale batters over the first six innings, scattering five hits. He did not allow an earned run before exiting the game with a 5-3 lead. Southpaw Steven Cummings (0-1) relieved Koenigsfeld and gave up four hits and four earned runs while recording just one out to take the loss.
The Bulldogs started the scoring in the bottom of the second inning, as an error by Black Knights' third baseman Kevin McKague allowed Brenner to reach to begin the frame. Moore then drew a walk before Koenigsfeld retired the next two Elis he faced. But Miehls, making his first start of the season for Yale, came through with two outs with a triple to the gap in right-centerfield gave Yale an early 2-0 lead. Elmore would follow with a base-hit that pushed Miehls across home plate to make it three unearned runs in the frame for the Bulldogs.
Army would promptly cut the deficit in its next at-bat, accumulating two unearned runs of its own. A throwing error by Megee allowed the first run to score and also extended the inning, which gave McKague a chance to atone for his miscue with an RBI single.
Both O'Hare and Koenigsfeld began to settle in on the hill, as the score would stay at 3-2 until the top of the fifth. Army would knot the score in that inning, as a two-out single off the bat of Joey Henshaw brought the tying run around to score.
A bases-loaded jam with one out in the sixth inning saw O'Hare's day come to a close, as Lyons took over for the rookie left-hander. After Lyons struck out the first batter he faced, Clint Moore delivered a two-run double for the Black Knights to give them their first lead of the game at 5-3.
Army would not touch Lyons for the next several frames, however, as the Bulldogs mounted their comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning. Cummings came on to relieve Koenigsfeld to start the stanza and was greeted by an Elmore single. A fielder's choice replaced Elmore with Megee at first base, and a wild pitch and a walk issued to junior shortstop Trey Rallis put runners on first and second with one out. Senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth kept the rally going with a single that loaded the bases, and Brenner followed with a base-hit to centerfield that tied the game at 5-5. The next batter was Moore, who reclaimed the lead for Yale and chased Cummings from the game with an RBI double. Sophomore left fielder Zach Tobolowsky greeted new hurler Chris Simpkins with a sacrifice fly that plated Brenner as the Elis posted four runs in the inning to claim a 7-5 lead.
After Lyons dispatched of the Black Knights in the top of the eighth inning, Miehls drew a walk to lead off the bottom of the frame and soon dashed to second on an errant pickoff attempt by new Army pitcher Will Haga. The senior speedster would take third base on an Elmore groundout before trotting the final 90 feet at a more leisurely pace thanks to Megee's towering home run over the left field wall that extended Yale's lead to 9-5 entering the final inning.
Army would manufacture a run off of Lyons in the ninth, but Yale's big right-hander closed the door on the Black Knights to complete the Bulldogs' 9-6 comeback win. Elmore and sophomore Matt Schmidt, who entered the game at shortstop for defensive purposes in the final frame, both made tremendous plays in the field to help preserve the victory.
Yale continues play in the Sunshine State tomorrow against another 2009 conference tournament champion, Indiana from the Big Ten Conference. First pitch against the Hoosiers from Chain of Lakes Stadium in Winter Haven, Fla. is scheduled for 3 p.m.

What We Noticed: A fridge with a slate-like door! We're seeing lots of natural stone used in interesting ways at EuroCucina. This fridge from Liebherr, known for their tall slim apartment refrigerators, has what feels like a vinyl door — but it looks like natural slate. It was really striking in person. What do you think of it?

Chelsea are considering a move for Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic as Frank Lampard edges closer to a January exit, according to the Daily Mail.
Lampard is reportedly weighing up a switch to Premier League strugglers Queens Park Rangers, now coached by former-Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, and Chelsea are thought to be looking to Bosnian international Pjanic as a long-term replacement.
The 22-year-old is currently playing in Serie 'A' for Roma, and is reportedly valued at £14m by the Italian club. The Daily Mail quotes sources from the Sunday People, which suggests Pjanic could move to Stamford Bridge if Lampard decides to end his association with the west London club.
Lampard started Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Corinthians in the Club World Cup final, but the 34-year-old was left out of their semi-final victory over Monterrey - Rafa Benitez instead opting to play David Luiz in a midfield role.
Earlier this month, Lampard appeared resigned to leaving the Stamford Bridge club - his contract expires at the end of the season - and Rangers boss Harry Redknapp is looking for experienced heads to strengthen his squad when the transfer window opens in January.
He could turn to Lampard, his nephew, but many fans would be disappointed to see the Chelsea legend leave the club.
The England international has won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and one Champions League trophy during a 12-year stint at Stamford Bridge.
His potential replacement, Pjanic, moved to Roma from Lyon in 2011, but has been linked with a Premier League switch in the New Year.
The attacking midfielder is rated as one of his country's brightest prospects, and the 22-year-old already has 37 caps for his country.

I'm currently living in Korea with an F-4 visa and I've been privately tutoring 4 students for the past month and a half (30-40k per hour). It's been great so far, but i'm not sure if I should seek out something more stable or continue teaching privately (add more students). I've talked to a manager of a hagwon and he threw out some numbers and I was wondering if they were good, bad, normal? The job: M-F, 9am-6pm, 1 hour break = 2.7mil a month without housing and 2.3mil with housing. That's about 17,000 per hour and 14,375 respectively. I was also entertaining the idea of looking for a part-time hagwon job, that way I could do both. Any advice would be great, thanks! Back to top staygoldJoined: 18 Aug 2012 Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 7:27 am Post subject: Yeah, those are pretty average numbers. Full-time hagwon vs. Part-time hagwon & private tutoring - I would do the latter, assuming you'd earn more. Or you could try 2 or more part-time gigs. It depends on how everything adds up.

Thought this was kinda cute!
From the Athens, Georgia Banner-Herald
Phillips: Friendly thoughts
Cultural Studies
By Julie Phillips
Of course, I could write this column under the guise I'm in Athens at my desk. But the truth is, I'm on vacation. And however short vacations seem to feel once you return home, when you're in the midst of them, you might as well be on another planet, your "real" life feels so far away. (Especially when you're writing said column with THE cutest dog in the entire universe snoozing on your lap - my little sister's; a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Lovey who lives up to her name and with whom I dare any little-dog dissenter to even try not to fall in love, because it would be impossible not to fall in love with Lovey, I swear).
Sorry to digress.
So last week, I talked to some of the organizers of Athens Rewind and learned even more about that legendary era in Athens that's been written about so many times.
Writers gather and relay details as best we can, but clearly the late 1970s and early '80s had an aura that's difficult to put on the page. You can hear it in the way the stories are relayed and see it on the faces as they remember.
We can speculate as to why it was such a special time - it was all simpler then, they say; a smaller town, less to do, a more innocent age.
But why isn't really important. What's important is who. I asked one Rewind organizer, Julie House, if she was, when talking to people she hadn't spoken with in years, able to pick right back up where she'd left off with them. She said that was indeed the case; as if no time had passed between them.
It's the blessing that comes with great friendships.
We wish the Rewinders a great time reminiscing and sharing time together in the town where their friendships began. Because however cheesy it sounds, friendships really are the greatest gift in life.
Take it from Lovey.

text: Your baby is still so very young. Don't worry too much about how he goes to sleep right now- in your arms, on the breast, in a swing, in a sling, whatever. IMO, the first few months are about promoting routines, encouraging baby to sleep at night and be more active during the day, maybe even trying to develop a napping routine. To reach those goals, you do what works in order to get baby to sleep- if that means rocking or nursing, etc., it's just not a big deal. You have plenty of time to get baby to sleep more independently. Now is a great time to read Elizabeth Pantley's book "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" for a realistic look at infant sleep and tips on gentle ways to encourage baby to sleep without using you as a crutch.

With the ACC basketball tournament set for Greensboro, N.C., the next three seasons, the conference is weighing venue options for 2016-21, including new destinations such as Miami, Orlando and Pittsburgh.
"We've had a great deal of interest," commissioner John Swofford said Wednesday at the league's preseason media function. "I think you'd expect that in any circumstances, but particularly with a growing league .. and the fact that now we'll be in nine contiguous states up and down the Eastern seaboard, and with Notre Dame joining."
Syracuse and Pittsburgh arrive next year, bringing membership to 14. Notre Dame will be No. 15 in sports other than football as soon as it negotiates an exit from the Big East. The additions will expand the tournament to five days, running Wednesday-Sunday.
ACC athletic directors discussed future tournament sites earlier this month in suburban Boston at their annual fall meetings.
"My guess is in listening to the athletic directors (that) the next eight or 10 years will probably look somewhat similar to the past decade in which we had the tournament in North Carolina as its home base, in Greensboro and Charlotte, and bounced it out periodically to other parts of our footprint," Swofford said. "We've got some attractive opportunities."
The ACC does not reveal bid cities, but sources have confirmed eight: Greensboro, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Pittsburgh, Miami, Tampa and Orlando.
The tournament has never been staged north of the Mason-Dixon Line, so Pittsburgh would be a unique venue and a nod to the conference's northern tier: Syracuse, Boston College and Pitt.
And other northern sites could emerge, especially Brooklyn, N.Y., and the Barclays Center, new home to the NBA's Nets. The arena will host the Atlantic 10 tournament for the next five seasons.
Madison Square Garden is out of the question. The storied arena and Big East announced Wednesday an extension of their partnership through 2026.
Tampa in 2007 was the ACC tournament's lone foray into Florida, and reviews were tepid. But Orlando boasts a new NBA arena and the Disney connection, while Miami has the lure of South Beach.
With the building located in a walkable downtown such as Charlotte's, Orlando is arguably the most fan-friendly of the Florida candidates.
Washington staged the ACC tournament in 2005 and is a frequent NCAA tournament venue. This season's East Regionals are set for D.C.'s Verizon Center, home to the NBA's Wizards and NHL's Capitals.
Last year's tournament was the sixth in Atlanta.
Feel free to weigh in, fans. Where would you like to see the tournament in years the league ventures beyond North Carolina?

There's no life without a brain.
The engineering team at Campagnolo knew their original electronic drivetrain power unit was exceptionally efficient, but they felt that the design could be improved in terms of both aerodynamics and versatility. Their research resulted in the new EPS V2 Power Unit, which features a slimmed down, cylindrical design that provides several advantages over the first generation model. The biggest news is that the new power unit enables internal mounting — in the seat tube, down tube, or top tube — providing the obvious aerodynamic benefits but also even greater protection from the elements and impact. Those who choose to mount the unit externally will encounter less wind resistance due to the new profile.
Other than the new shape and lower weight (a claimed 130g compared to the original's 170g), the Power Unit is relatively unchanged. Digital Tech Intelligence (DTI) remains the brains of the entire Electronic Power Shift (EPS) system, and performs the most important operations in blisteringly fast time. For movement operations, DTI is in constant communication with the EPS V2 Interface Unit, receiving digital signals from the EPS Shift Levers, processing them through unique algorithms, and translating that information into the movements for the front and rear derailleurs. Concurrently, DTI is checking and maintaining onboard diagnostics, managing and checking the charge status of the battery pack, and controlling all derailleur automatic correction functions. DTI is the fail-safe against all system anomalies in EPS, signaling warnings through an acoustical buzzer on the undercarriage of the Power Unit and transmitting a signal to the EPS Interface, which communicates the information to you through a detailed RGB-variant color coding system. It also relays a message upon resolution of any system anomaly.
As mentioned, the EPS Power Unit also houses the Battery Pack that powers the Digital Tech Intelligence. The 3-cell (12-volt) lithium ion Battery Pack holds a charge longer than any electronic shifting system battery in production. In Standby Mode the Battery Pack can retain a charge for six months. In use, the charge varies by type of usage. At opposite ends of the spectrum, a 310 mile-per-month rider can expect around 964 miles per full charge, whereas a 1242 mile-per-month monster can expect roughly 1260 miles per full charge. Just as the DTI acts as a fail-safe for system anomalies, the Battery Pack has its own failure-prevention system to protect EPS and the battery. Operating at full charge from 11.1 nominal volts to 12.6 maximum volts, the system takes precaution at nine volts and turns itself off. Campagnolo exercised further precaution by installing a special circuit called PCM within the Battery Pack that turns off all charge when the Battery Pack reaches 7.2 volts.
Similar to the original power unit, the V2 features a cover designed to protect the brains of its electronic shifting system. The "black box" of componentry, it is an ultrasonically welded housing unit made of a self-extinguishing fireproof thermoplastic called UL94 V0. Campagnolo added special dampening to the case to minimize terrain vibration, and took the additional step of incorporating an anti-vibration dampening plug on the rear of the EPS Power Unit. The EPS Power Unit is also IP67 compliant, a rigid international standard for electronics that requires protection of electronic components from water and dust alike. To give you an idea of how stringent this test is, every Campagnolo EPS component had to operate perfectly while submerged under water for 30 minutes.
The Campagnolo EPS V2 Power Unit is available in one color and one size. Please note: The second generation Power Unit will mount internally with many, but not all, current frames. Check with the frame manufacturer to ensure internal mounting compatibility. Also note that Campagnolo's DTI V2 Interface Unit and V2 Battery Charger are required for the new EPS V2 Power Unit.

NEW DELHI: A school bus collided with a truck laden with bricks in northern India on Monday, killing 12 children and their driver, police said.
The crash happened as the children were on their way to school on the outskirts of Jalandhar, said police officer Harmeet Singh.
The city is nearly 400 kilometres north of the Indian capital.
Singh said seven children and the bus driver died on the spot and another five children succumbed to their injuries in a hospital.
Police were looking for the truck driver, who fled after the accident, Singh said.
India has the world's deadliest roads, with more than 110,000 people killed every year. Most crashes are blamed on reckless driving, poorly maintained roads and aging vehicles.

Had some fun last night running around with our Blood Elf orphans. Msaker scouted the way out, and Blackhoof and Droonda followed behind.
The Orphans last request found us traveling to the Caverns of Time. And there we, Blackhoof and Droonda, took a side trip. To the Hillsbrad of before the Scourge, but trouble is imminent.
What a blast. That was really cool.
Nobody in Southshore suspected a thing as we rode in our Frostwolf and Kodo. And the vendors there did business with us. If you like riding, you might have a look.
It's not like a regular instance. Going to Old Hillsbrad you get to play a tourist in the area around Durnhold Keep, Tarren Mill (mind the guards, they were red elites, our level), and South Shore itself. Watch Sally Whitemane running around, with her champion. And the discussion that goes on in the Inn. Lots of familiar faces. ... And that just makes the whole history that unfolded after that much more dramatic and sad. (Except for Herod. Apparently he was always a punk.)

Lon Chaney Jr. – You might say he was born to be a monster
By: Linnea Crowther
5 years ago
Werewolves and vampires and zombies have enjoyed top billing on the silver screen in recent years. But if anyone thinks that today's sparkly vamps and rabies-infected undead are the start of a trend, they're dead wrong. Movie monsters have been around for just about as long as movies have, and one of the greatest monster actors of them all died 40 years ago today. He was Lon Chaney Jr., and you might say he was born to be a monster.
Just as his father, Lon Chaney, had done in the early, silent days of cinema, starring in classics like The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the younger Chaney found his niche not as the handsome leading man, but in portraying the far more interesting characters lurking in the shadows. Despite being the son of a star, Chaney Jr. came to acting late. He first pursued a successful business career, and it was only after his father's death in 1930 that Chaney Jr. began his movie career. By 1939, he had appeared in dozens of films, including an acclaimed turn as Lennie Small in Of Mice and Men, opposite Burgess Meredith.
But it would be in the 1940s that Lon Chaney Jr. would truly make his mark. When Universal Studios found success making monster movies, they made as many as they could – and over and over again, they cast Lon Chaney Jr. as the leading monster. Here's a look at Universal's best-loved monsters of the early '40s, played to perfection by Lon Chaney Jr.
Werewolf: Chaney made his movie monster debut in 1941, playing the title character in The Wolf Man. He would reprise the role in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and many more.
Frankenstein's Monster: The year after The Wolf Man, Chaney broadened his monstrous range when he took on the famous monster in The Ghost of Frankenstein. Chaney worked side by side with another horror veteran, Bela Lugosi, who played Ygor.
Mummy: In 1942, Chaney morphed into yet another monster as he played the undead title character in The Mummy's Tomb, the first of several mummy films he'd make. Though the role of the mummy was introduced by Boris Karloff, it was perfected by Chaney, who created the now-familiar archetype of the shambling, bandaged corpse.
Vampire: Last but certainly not least, Chaney took on the role of bloodsucker when he made Son of Dracula in 1943. Featuring Chaney as Count Alucard (read it backwards and you, like the film's leading lady, may suspect that the vamp was actually the famous Dracula himself), it was the first film that showed a vampire transforming into a bat onscreen.
The irony of Lon Chaney Jr.'s fame as a monster? According to most coworkers, he was anything but – in fact, the most common word used to describe him was "sweet."
