Second meeting of Cable's Entrepreneurs' Forum
The forum is part of the Government's agenda to engage with business people to hear their views on boosting enterprise and promoting growth …
The forum is part of the Government's agenda to engage with business people to hear their views on boosting enterprise and promoting growth across the economy.
Up to 17 entrepreneurs sit on each meeting of the forum and they were drawn together on the basis of experience they can bring to the development of enterprise policy.
Following the first meeting of the forum in January, Action Groups have been established to look at three key areas for enterprise: ease of starting up; access to finance; and employment regulation.
At this meeting, the outcomes from the Action Groups will be discussed and practical steps and activities agreed ahead of the third meeting of the forum in September.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said:
"I greatly value the advice I receive from the members my Entrepreneurs' Forum, and our first meeting in January was extremely positive. I am now keen that we build on the enthusiasm and knowledge of the group to make a real difference to enterprise and growth in this country."
"I am particularly interested to hear about the work of the three Action Groups, which I hope will enable us to identify some practical outcomes to help small businesses."
Notes to editors:
1.** The Entrepreneurs' Forum will meet around four times a year, with a flexible schedule according to the material to be discussed. **

- The Secretary of State's Business Advisory Group, which is an informal advisory board which aims to provide produce ideas covering the Department for Business' activities.
- The Small Business Economic Forum, which allows small businesses and their representatives to provide independent views to Ministers on government economic policy relevant to enterprise and small business, and allows for engagement between Ministers, small business and the banking sector.
Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk and Parliamentary Secretary for Business, Innovation and Skills Baroness Wilcox will also attend the meeting.
The Government's Plan for Growth, the first part of the ongoing Growth Review, was published at the Budget. The plan, setting out the detailed actions across government, can be found at: http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/ukecon_growth_index.htm.

At the end of last year I began to ponder and pray about some way to encourage Keith, Alinea & Jacob in the new year. I created an small art piece around each of these and this is the one that I made for Keith. I was reading my friend Mike's blog today Waving or Drowning and he had this video of the inspirational Seth Godin talking about curiosity - it is spectacular. Wanted to link the two here on my blog. Thanks Mike!

I've been reading and comparing Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red, Selah Saterstrom's The Pink Institution, and C. A. Conrad's The Book of Frank. What these three books have in common (besides being among my top favorites) is that they offer, through short, fragmented sections, isolated snapshots of a family. It isn't until the reader finishes the book (or perhaps we could call it an album) that s/he gains an overall sense of what these families are and how they operate. Additionally, these books are all verse novels; they deliver the pleasures of reading a novel while also paying an incredible amount of attention to sentences, lines, and syntax. There is as much to learn from these books' white space (what's left untold) as there is from the stories they do reveal.
For this post, I'm interested in the idea of family. All three books provide narrative from or about the child or children protagonist. It is the family that the child struggles against. For instance, Autobiography of Red provides this snapshot of little Geryon and his mother:
"Every second Tuesday in winter Geryon's father and brother went to hockey practice. / Geryon and his mother had supper alone. / They grinned at each other as night climbed ashore. Turned on all the lights / even in rooms they weren't using. / Geryon's mother made their favorite meal, cling peaches from the can and toast / cut into fingers for dipping. / Lots of butter on the toast so a little oil slick floats out on top of the peach juice. / They took supper trays into the living room. / Geryon's mother sat on the rug with magazines, cigarettes, and telephone. / Geryon worked beside her under the lamp. / He was gluing a cigarette to a tomato. [. . .] / He had ripped up some pieces of crispy paper he found in her purse to use for hair / and was gluing these to the top of the tomato. [. . . ] / She put her hand on top of his small luminous skull as she studied the tomato. / And bending she kissed him once on each eye / then picked up her bowl of peaches from the tray and handed Geryon his. / Maybe next time you could / use a one-dollar bill instead of a ten for the hair, she said as they began to eat."
What I love about this passage is we learn so much about Geryon, his creativity, his preoccupations while his mother is on the phone. But we also learn about his mother. She doesn't get mad, she encourages his little project, and it's clear she loves and appreciates him. This is how, later, we understand why Geryon is so attached to her. And I love that so much about these characters is so clearly portrayed in such small sections (or chapters).

As a mom of two teenage basketball players, Friday nights are tough. For my youngest, it's the only night of the week he has a game. My older son has two or three games a week. So, when Friday night comes around, I hope they aren't scheduled to play at the exact same time. Usually they are. Tonight is a 5:30 p.m. start for the older son and a 6:15 p.m. start for the youngest. I'll be late, but hopefully there, for the second game.
I was stressing. Apologizing to my youngest. But then I stopped. I reminded myself I'm doing the best I can. I will be there, albeit late. As long as we let our kids know we care by making the effort even if it isn't easy, as long as we're trying our best, we're doing OK. Tonight as I watch the first game I'm going to try to be totally there and focused, not worrying about what I'm missing in the gym next door. But trust me. When that game is over, I'll be scrambling.
And tonight, if I take a breath and don't worry about the scramble, it'll be joyous.
"Joy is not in things, it is in us." ~ Richard Wagner

Things have been rather busy for me since the beginning of the new year. So many blessings have hit my family since the start of 2014.
To start off with- January 1st, my husband found out he earned a raise. This is an answered prayer. He has been working so hard to provide for my family while I pursue my career as a self published author.
The weekend of Jan. 3rd to Jan. 5th- I was able to make it to stay the weekend with my Mom and attend church. I love when I am able to spend time with her and enjoy the company of the wonderful people within her church.
On Jan 5th, I attended my cousin's baby shower. This I was worried about since it was the first one that I managed to go to since the loss of my daughter. I wasn't sure if I could handle it. I noticed that on my way to the shower, my spirit was up and I was actually HAPPY! I did great at the shower and kept this mood up. I could honestly say that I was super excited for the Mom to Be and Daddy to Be.
This great mood continued on during the following week.
On Jan. 9th, I woke up to a belated Christmas present- a new Keurig machine. Hubby was off of work at 4 AM and decided to pick it up. He had it sitting on the table covered with a blanket when I came down that morning. Tell me about waking up in a GREAT mood! This set the mood for the rest of the day. The day was filled with blessings as it ventured into night. I actually went to bed.... for the first time in seven months with a smile on my face!
Here we are on January 13th and my mood still goes on. I did feel myself getting a little depressed last night as I allowed my mind time to dwell on the past. Once I noticed it, I immediately put on the breaks. I wasn't going to allow the heartbreak back in. I love my little girl. I miss her everyday, but I don't believe she would want me to be unhappy all the time.
I have been keeping up with my resolutions as much as I can. Most people don't get this far into the year without breaking at least one. I'll admit... I have veered off but as soon as I noticed this, I pushed myself back on track.
After all of the blessings I have received this far, I must say that I am very thankful that the Lord has given me beautiful moments with my family and something else I can smile for.

Two guys were discussing popular family trends on sex, marriage, and family values.
Stu said, 'I didn't sleep with my wife before we got married, did you?'
Leroy replied, 'I'm not sure, what was her maiden name?'
S. E. X. Frogs
A beautiful, well endowed, young blonde, goes to her local pet store in search of an exotic pet. As she looks about the store, she notices a box full of frogs. The sign says: Sex Frogs! Only $20 each! Money Back Guarantee! (Comes with complete instructions).
The girl excitedly looks around to see if anybody's watching her and whispers softly to the man behind the counter, "I'll take one." The man packaged the frog and said, "Just follow the instructions carefully."
The girl nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home. As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, the girl takes out the instructions and reads them thoroughly, doing exactly what it says to do:
1. Take a shower.
2. Splash on some nice smelling perfume.
3. Slip into a very sexy teddy.
4. Crawl into bed and position the frog in place.
She then quickly gets into bed with the frog and, to her surprise, nothing happens! The girl is totally frustrated and quite upset at this point. She re-reads the instructions and notices at the bottom of the paper it says, "If you have any problems or questions, please call the pet store." So, the girl calls the pet store.
The man says, "I had some complaints earlier today. I'll be right over." Within five minutes, the man is ringing her doorbell. The girl welcomes him in and says, "See, I've done everything according to the instructions and the damn thing just sits there."
The man, looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares directly into its eyes and sternly says: "Listen to me! I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time!"

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major public health problem in the United States and account for an estimated 2 million infections, and 90,000 deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), A Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) is defined as a localized or systemic condition resulting from an adverse reaction to the presence of an infectious agent(s) or its toxin(s) that:
Hospitals, including Griffin Hospital, routinely practice infection control measures that are put in place to help reduce the risks of infection. Some of the control measures that we use are:
We conduct "targeted surveillance" which is data collected for selected infections. The infections that we have targeted are: a) Device associated infections: Ventilator associated pneumonias (VAP), Central line associated blood stream infections (BSI) in the critical care unit, and symptomatic urinary catheter associated urinary tract infections (UTI) in the critical care unit. (Our numerator is based on the number of infections identified at each individual site and the denominator is based on the number of device days for each category); b) Surgical site infections (SSI) for knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, colon surgery, abdominal hysterectomy, and vascular surgery. (Our numerator is based on the number of infections identified in each of the surgical categories and our denominator is based on the number of discharged patients who underwent a specific surgical procedure).
*Less than 20 operations in a quarter, therefore, data may not be sufficient to compare US rate.
** Rate varies based on risk index category.

A second instance of rational independent thought…
|The statue of Lenin in Brest, just around the corner from the archives
And so you know, I vent.
I suppose what is the most frustrating to me is the issue of getting started doing some teaching around here. It is the most mind blowing thing to me to be given such an arbitrarily hard time about it. And I do mean arbitrary because for the life of me, I see that the problem exists on both sides, theirs and mine, and that even though the solution is right there they simply do not allow for the fix. Why? This is what I don't understand except that it seems to be because of the same mental problems and insecurities I wrote about in the bread and butter story. It's bullshit is what it is and it just drives me up the wall.
And every day I get more and more examples. Just yesterday, for instance, Egor brought a friend home from his chess tournament to hang out and use the computer chess program for a while. I won't say the boy's name because he is eleven and I like him and I like his dad and because he went to the Republic chess tournament last year and is a very serious young boy. But he comes in the house and just for fun I decided to greet him in English rather than Russian and he simply couldn't do it. Ok, let's give the boy the benefit of a doubt and say that it was Sunday morning and he had just played a tournament game and these "How are you doing/How was the chess tournament/Did you win?" questions would be coming from way out of the blue. But my point is that even after allowing for a moment to digest the fact that I wanted to speak to him in English, the boy was unable to grasp even the slightest hint of what I was saying to him. And this includes the questions, and I am not joking- Do you study English in school? and How many years have you studied? If the answer had come back that he didn't do English but rather German or Spanish or French, I would have been ok with this. But after agreeing to change the conversation back to Russian I learned that he had been reading, writing, speaking and supposedly listening to the English language for five years! Do you understand what I am saying here? Five years of attending classes for the purposes of being able to communicate in the English language and the kid could not understand a single word I was saying.
And he is not the only one! This is the way it is here.
And me? My people in Poland wrote essays in English in their first year of study; not perfect, but they had enough of a vocabulary and grammatical understanding to attempt a thought. And these were Polaks! And you want local results? My guy Egr sat and bullshitted with my father after only 18 months with me! And believe me when I tell you that my father DOES NOT speak a word of Russian. He may speak like a Russian, but the words are only English. And I am not good enough to help? I don't understand English well enough?
The real truth is that they are hiding behind their bureaucracy and it is pure bullshit too. The truth is they took all of the money out of the budget and all the hours away from the teachers but rather than say they were downsizing, they decided to play elitist with those who managed to hang and called it UPGRADING TO A HIGHER STANDARD OF EDUCATION. But hey, I got the qualifications THEY told me to get. I did the work and paid for the course. To me, it' is just that they refuse to take responsibility, even for their promises.
(By the way, that coffee maker my father sent out finally came and IT IS AMAZING! No more aluminum pots for us; we are officially toddy people from now on.)
But I digress…
I ran into that second bit of extraordinary, extra effort and initiative over at the archives in Brest. I mentioned that we were in Brest last week. The reason for the trip was for registering the name of our potential "private" teaching business (sigh), we are attempting to set up in place of teaching at the schools. But because we would be in town, we also decided to check into the archives for our friend Bob. We have been helping Bob with a family lineage search but he has not been receiving much news. What he is looking for are any remaining family members who may yet still reside in the territories of the beautiful and interesting Republic of Belarus. Bob had been writing to the archives in vain for quite some time but then Tanya and I got involved locally and we found that getting face to face seemed to actually do the trick of getting things started. However, we also found out that searching the Belarusian archives can get a little spendy; there are hefty fees just for getting started, additional fees for individual documents of up to $40 and all of it without any guarantee of results. So far Bob had agreed to invest several hundred dollars in the archives but had only received back a few stray birth and death certificates, none of which listed any peripheral names- the real reason why we wanted to see such documents. I should add that if you actually want a photocopy of one of these documents in your hand, there is also a charge for that. Yikes.
My part initially was simply making sure that the money got to where it was supposed to go and to stay in touch with the archives by phone. But as we were there, I said I would stick my head in to see what was happening. I think that my only intention was to ask if it was possible to focus on things like addresses or occupations, things that we could at least use for leads when we got down to the business of doing the leg/detective work. But I never got to even ask any questions because from the moment we said we were with Bob, his family name registered with Natalia Vasilivna, the head archivist, and she became very nervous and agitated and started in explaining that the reason we had not heard anything was because the search had not been paid for. They actually had found quite a lot of things but they had all simply been sitting on a desk.
"But I paid already."
"You did?"
"Yes, I paid at least six weeks ago, right from the moment we started."
"Six weeks?"
"Yes, maybe eight weeks, I don't remember exactly. But absolutely I paid. And the bank said there was a problem but they told me it was fixed. They called me about this maybe two days after we put the money in and asked me to come back to the bank. But when I got there, they told me that they had made some calls to their main bank and assured me all was cleared up. I didn't ever really know what the problem was except that they said there was one and then they said everything was ok."
This sent Natalia Vasilivna running upstairs to try and deal with the problem. Tanya, Anya and I camped out on the bench in front of her office.
"We have never had any problems before…" said the receptionist, a rather large, unhappy lady who was sitting in a yellowish office behind a sheet of glass. She was very round, had short gray hair and I got the feeling she didn't like me very much. I was obviously some kind of trouble maker. The archives were as silent as a tomb except for every footstep which ratted and echoed throughout the concrete stairwell that went up through the center of the seven story building. Anya was running back and forth playing peek-a-boo with me, which I was enjoying but which only drew sneers from the receptionist. Obviously Anya was a troublemaker too.
After a few minutes Natalia Vasilivna returned and said that they still could not find the payment but that she had called the bookkeeper, who was out at the moment. She would be back in just a few minutes and we should continue to wait. There was another woman who had come to get a document and Natalia Vasilivna asked her several questions very quickly, anxious to get to the bottom line. It turned out to be an obvious issue and she quickly pointed out the form that needed to be filled out, ran to her office to take a phone call and then ran back up the stairs again.
Apparently my friend Bob was a celebrity because there were several other employees now coming to take a peek at us. I still had not said anything other than Bob's name. I got it in my head that I wanted to make a joke but I didn't know the word which was the main punch line. I wanted to say that it certainly seemed as though the archives were a pretty exciting place but I didn't know the Russian word for excitement. I asked Tanya but she said she didn't know what the word meant herself.
"You know, exciting; like when you go to the circus or to a ball game and something happens and everybody gets happy and jumps up and starts screaming. This is excitement. What is the word in Russian?"
"I don't know this word." Tanya was bored.
I tried a couple of more times to try and figure it out, approaching the issue from several directions but each time she insisted that she didn't know it. I went over to the receptionist and asked her. She had never stopped scowling at me and when she saw me coming towards her, she started to shuffle the papers on her desk. She really didn't need to speak to me.
"Listen, what is the word in Russian for, like when you go to a football game and someone scores a goal and everyone jumps up and starts to yell…"
'I am not a football fan" She said.
"Ok, it doesn't have to be football, I can be a circus or a marriage or any happy event. There is a specific word. It is excitement in English but I don't know how to say this in Russian." She was staring blankly at me. "You know, it is when your blood gets hot and everything is going really fast and you really feel alive and interested and…"
'We have no such word. I don't understand what you are talking about." She got up and left her cubicle.
About this time Natalia Vasilivna came back with the bookkeeper. The bookkeeper was very confident that there was simply no record of a payment being made. She asked if I remembered if I had paid in dollars or in rubles. I honestly didn't remember. Now that she mentioned it though, I did remember that this had been an issue but all I remembered about it was that I handed over the money. I didn't remember if I had given them dollars or rubles. Well, she said, this could have been the problem. The account was set up to take foreign currencies. They had received money from Australia and Canada as well as the US and it had never been a problem before. I honestly didn't remember except that I paid them whatever the number they had asked me for and that it was around $160 or the Belarusian equivalent. She wanted to try calling the bank. Wed told her it was Belvnyesheconom on Sovietska Street. They both went back to their respective offices. We sat and waited some more.
After about 10 minutes the bookkeeper came back and said that she had spoken to the bank and all was in order from them but still there had been no records of this here and she had been through September already four times.
"The payment was made in August." We all said this to her at the same time. August?! It was only another five minutes before Natalia Vasilivna came down holding a small packet of papers. She was smiling. So was the bookkeeper.
"We really found a lot." She said showing me the four pages of lineage they had uncovered. I glanced at it and saw that they had included, without having been asked, whole family trees, birth and death dates, who was related to who and best of all, where they worked and the addresses in Pinsk where they lived before the war. "We had been so worried. We didn't know what to do."
That made for a good day. And after, we found that the name registration hadn't had any problems either. When I got home I went ahead and translated the lineage for Bob so he read it straight away and mailed him the original copies. He was on line when I sent the e-mail so I go a response from him in perhaps five minutes:
Dear Adam,
Thank you. You have no idea what joy this brings to me.
Olga U** was born 1 July 1915 (the record has it listed as 1 June 1915), she is my mother. Dyonizy or Denis D***, born 14 May 1914, is my father. On 1 Sept. 1939 Germany attacked Poland. Pinsk was then in Poland. He was in the Polish Army. Victor D***, born 6 March 1942, was my brother. My mother, father, and Victor were shipped to Germany in 1943 to work in a slave labor camp. Victor died in Augsburg, Germany, on 31 Dec. 1943. The young and the old did not last long. My people were considered subhumans.
I guess that's the difference between giving a little service or not…
Oh, and the word is Obodrenie. Здесь mного ободрение. (It's pretty exciting around here). That's what I was trying to say.
More soon…

Last month's Spring 2015 fashion week is likely to set the styles we'll be sporting by mid-Winter. I'm happy to announce that for once, labels are designing high-end garments with comfort in mind.
Runways were packed with long, lean looks that read like the marriage of loungewear and black tie. Stand out looks included Rag & Bone's loose leather tunic and trousers and Calvin Klein's spacious matching tank top/long skirt sets.
Marc Jacobs sent out models in massive floor length skirts topped by a navy zip up hoodie that made an interesting mix of accessible streetwear and creative couture creation.
DKNY and The Row sent out models in all white, two piece ensembles that looked casually modern and faintly futuristic.
Models at Stella McCartney strutted in deliciously delicate, ultra luxe pieces straight from your dream pajama party.
If you're not on the runway, I'd suggest pairing loose bottoms with a matching (or simply complementary) fitted top. All white is my favorite color scheme for this look, but if you're not down with wearing so much of such a stark hue, go for your favorite neutral.
If you do dare, head to toe white was one of Spring 2015 Fashion Week's biggest hues and you're likely to start spotting a crazy amount of starlets and street style bloggers rocking all white everything.

From Carol Zimmermann at Catholic News Service:
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Since 2006, the U.S. Catholic bishops' Migration and Refugee Services has helped more than 2,700 victims of human trafficking obtain food, clothing and access to medical care.
That service has come to a halt because the agency recently learned it did not receive a new grant award for this work from the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. MRS' prior contract for the trafficking program ended Oct. 10.
Mercy Sister Mary Ann Walsh, director of media relations for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, told Catholic News Service Oct. 11 that she hoped the Catholic Church's "position against abortion, sterilization and artificial contraception has not entered into this decision" by the HHS refugee office to reject MRS' application for a new grant, "especially since this administration has said it stands fully behind freedom of conscience."
She noted that the MRS's anti-trafficking program "ran quite well without these services" and said it would be "tragic if abortion politics harmed the men, women and children already at risk because of the crime and scandal of human trafficking."
MRS officials had no immediate comment, and HHS officials contacted by Catholic News Service did not respond to a request for comment.
In 2009, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for not making the U.S. Catholic bishops' agency include referrals for abortion, sterilization and artificial contraception in its anti-trafficking program. That case is still pending.
Sister Mary Ann said in an email to CNS that MRS officials are concerned about their clients and hope they will "not suffer from a clumsy transition to new agencies or from limited or lack of services."
Read the rest here.
At the Washington Examiner, Charlie Spiering also wonders whether "payback" is involved.
The article states that MRS also worked with subcontractors, about one-third of which are Catholic. Others included Lutheran Family Services, Jewish Family Services and anti-domestic violence groups, so it not just the Catholic groups that will suffer from this loss. But without comment from HHS confirming a reason, it's impossible to know exactly why MRS didn't receive funds. Let's hope this isn't a matter of spite, because such actions do nothing to further discussion about religious liberty or freedom of conscience. And the inevitable delays that will accompany the transition of MRS's caseload, will only hurt those people who are most in need.
For the first and second time in AMerican history, Congress did not pass a budget for fiscal year 2011 and 2012. FY 2010 was the last fiscal year a federal budget was voted on by Congress and signed into law by the President. The country has been running on "continuing resolutions" since the end of fiscal year 2010 meaning whatever was approved of in 2010 continued forward in fiscal year 2011 and 2012.
No budget exist for 2011 and 2012 because while discussed the details of a budget were not agreed to in Congress. Earlier this year a budget passed the House for 2012 but the Senate rejected both the President budget and the budget the House passed.
In the beginning of August 2011 as part of the agreement to raise the debt ceiling a super committee was formed of six Democrats in the House and Senate and six Republican from the House and Senate tasked with finding tillion dollar cuts in the budget from from 2010. But the agreement fromthe committee on what to cut if anything is due in mid November. If no agreement cn be reach automatic budget cuts will be made on defense and social programs. But no cuts have been approved of yet.
So if funding was available in 2010 for MRS which it was MRS would have the same funding now. So the fact that the Catholic Bishops did not get a grant from MRS as in previous years needs to be explained by MRS which they have not done.
The Washington Examiner referenced article reference in the article above implies that MRS objects to not having "comprehesive services" by which they may mean abortions provided by agencies they give grants to. But MRS has not given any statement explaining why the grant to the Catholic Bishops program was not renewed.
As for "snubbing" the bishops, I thought they were all Republicans anyway. Did I miss something?
Citizens don't get to earmark their taxes. If they did, there would be a heck of a lot less traffic enforcement. Taxes are collected and revenues are allocated governments; taxpayers are not consumers with a choice of services. That's a price we pay for civilization.
You have the right approach. If Catholics have to ask is this payback or is the Obama administration antagonistic then Catholics have a big political problem that Catholics need to solve at election time. Why play peek-a-boo with the Obama administation? Catholics should know were they stand with the Obama adminisrtation and the Democratic party. But many Catholics do not, mostly becasue they do not want to recognize how profoundly the Democratic party has changed in the last forty years.
Unfortunately the Obama admistration and the Democratic party get very significant political support from pro-abortion forces, whom they are very obligated to. The Democratic party platform stated goal for at least the last twenty years is abortion on demand - free abortions nationwide at government expense. Only the political fact that about three-forths of all taxpayers do not want the government to pay for abortions prevents this from becoming federal law. Administratively however Democrats in office are very hostile and intolerant to Catholic moral beliefs on abortion and pro-life policies of Catholic institutions. Yet most Catholics have still not caught on that the Democrat party has profoundly changed from what it was in their grandparents experience over forty years ago before the Roe v Wade Suprem Court decision became the law.
But Catholics should not support for office politicians that do not support Catholics in significant ways such as support for pro-life stand of Catholics.
Of c ourse this event in isolation is no big deal, but when seen in the larger context of President Obama and the liberal democratic agenda, it's pretty clear that the Obama administration is opposed to Catholic morality and moral influence on several fronts and is fighting a rear-guard action to undermine the Church's ability to support Catholic prolife and other issues with remarkable consistency.
Expanding and facilitating elective abortion with such means as public funding is of course one of the major issues the president, and I suspect you and your friends (Ed, if I accuse you unjustly, I would like nothing better than for you to correct me), are fighting for that the Church opposes. Another in the case of the president is Catholic opposition to capital punishment which the president favors, although on this issue I suspect President Obama moral conviction would flip as soon as he saw it would gain rather than cost him votes. Another is the protection of the union-governmnent juggernaut that has provided us with such an expensive and disastrous public education system controlled by the same union-government collusion. So far they have managed to hold back the forces of democrats such as Michelle Rhee and the inner city parents who desire access to the vouchers that will offer their children a chance at the American Dream their existing union-dominated public schools have successfully denied them for decades. And this agenda may have had an impact even on our editors here. In 2008 B.O. (Before Obama, that is), America had this to say about the denial of vouchers to inner city children and their parents: "America has long been in favor of vouchers, yet the possibility of a nationwide program...seems remote. The influence of the teachers' unions make this a formidable challenge....It is very difficult to ask families to remain committed to public education in light of such underperformance...legislative leaders are quick to dismiss the Pell Grant for Kids proposals, and with it the hopes of many struggling families." (America, Aid for Kids, 2/18/08.) Who could have said it better? But can you imagine that appearing in America since Obama was elected? Even the recent study done in Los Angeles by Jesuit's own Loyola Marymount that concluded over 98% of Los Angeles' parochial school students go on to graduate from high school as opposed to under 70% in the public school system has somehow not been noted here, to the best of my knowledge.
And since Catholic influence is dependent upon contributions to thrive, the Obama administration, wishing to limit the influence of the Church (and perhaps any organization outside the control of the government), is attacking that source of funding by attempting to limit the deductability of charitable donations.
I got a good chuckle out of your reference to the "Lite Brigade" and wish to reconfirm it with but the addition of the single word you missed: the Catholic brigade supporting President Obama's liberal front is leading the Charge of the Catholic Lite Brigade. And as 2012 rolls around, that group may turn around to find, metaphorically at least, similar support backing them up and facing a similar result.
"The Catholic brigade supporting President Obama's liberal front is leading the Charge of the Catholic Lite Brigade." Who are the officers and men of this brigade? I know there are some Catholics who were Democrats and would be former Democrats if there were a party to go to. I am one of them. I am more inclined to follow the bishops' last resort: vote for neither. I can't identify a Catholic-Democratic bloc as of yore, except in the fevered minds of some people who believe in it. As for Mr. Obama's "liberal front," gimme a break. Until you see "single payor" on a live bill and no more Gitmo, all you have from Mr. Obama is Republicanism with a human face.
Walter you say I'm not pro-life because I don't buy into your agenda of tying every political issue to anti-abortion and school vouchers. I feel no need to defend my pro-life position to transparent right wing ideologues but.. My wife and I have encouraged women to give birth by kindness, care and encouragement. Waving law and pictures is not only counter- productive, it has hardwired the pro-abortion stance into the minds of the populous. Where have you people been for 40 years? The vast majority of Americans and even a majority of Catholics are so suspicious of your kind of agenda they would never vote for giving vouchers to religious schools or criminalizing abortion.
Consider for a minute that if the leaders of the Church bought into your stance we would have abortion pictures instead of stations of the cross in all our churches and homilies about criminalizing abortion. This has not happened has it???;if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, revise your stance please, it has no chance of success and is so counter productive it gives comfort to the enemy of pro-life. We live in a political compromise society so join in the kindness and love approach .. show the flag of the Gospel to women with a difficult pregnancy and this will attract women to go to term just as Jobs birth mother did. P.S A good friend of ours headed up MRS and we donated at the time.
I hope you don't take offense at this, but your occasional comments are difficult to read – so much so that I am inclined not to try. Please take the time to format your comments with frequent paragraph breaks, preferably with a line space separating the paragraphs. (If I may suggest, the easiest way to format properly for the benefit of readers is to write your comment in Word or some other program and them copy and paste it into the comment box. Then use the preview comment feature to be sure your comment is presentable.)
Also, in regard to Kerry Weber's post on the Obama administration and Catholics, see Colleen Carroll Campbell's excellent article "Obama is alienating Catholic voters" at
You are exactly correct that instead of a budget the dysfunction in Congress has matters of public funding held hostage to continuing resolutions. Does the current resolution, which is for a short period, fund this activity. No agency providing these services appears to have funding at present. Is it just slightly possible that HHS is in a "wait and see" mode here?
How is this money let to the agencies? RFP? RFGP? Multi-year agreements? There are far, far too many unknown facts for any casual observer to conclude punitive intent on the part of HHS.
"Sister wouldn't be concerned if this wasn't sinister" is not up to snuff as a logical analysis.
The Uited States government and its worldwide operations are running inclubing new initiatives like Libya military campaign. But the United States has not had a budget for two consecutive fiscal years and has been running on a continuing resolution for over a year - effectively continuing the budget allocations of fiscal year 2010.
Dysfuntion Mary is when the President's own party which controls the Seante votes down this spring the President's budget with its astounding 1.4 trillion in new indebtedness. The Preseident never followed up with a new budget acceptable to his own party.deinvolved himself further in the bubget process. The result is the U.S. government a 3.5 trillion dollar operation is operating without a current budget, the main finacial contol mechanism for any enterprise.
But the government is operating. MRS is operating and making grant funding decisions decisions one of which was made to not fund the Catholic Bishops MRS services.
As Ed Gleason noted this decison in question was not made by President Obama or the White House staff. This decison was made by the federal MRS agency without explaination or reply to inquiries.
Your explaination of cuts might have been made are not supported by facts. The media director however on the ground would able to see and comment on unusual outcomes. The Obama administration HHS has begun in September a process of redefining health care to include and require contraceptivies sevvices without regard to Catholic intitutions objection, When MRS agency states new requirements of grantees providing "comprehesive health services" there is a known problem decaues "health services" has been redefined to include many new services that are objectionable to the church. The nation is experiencing a very rough implementation of the new open-ended health care law of 2010, Why make excuses for the administartion's known disregard and unreliability in protecting the church's religious interests?
The real question is: just how diysfunctional is the Obama administration? The federal MRS agency for reasons of openness and transparency alone should reply to inquiries on its decisions to not fund the Catholic Bishop's MRS.
Ed Gleason (#10)
The Catholic Bishops media relations director is obviously signaling that there is an obvious poitical problem with MRS. Not funding a program without notice or expalination obviously causes disruption to the people the program is serving. Let's not kid ourselves this disruption of service is knowingly harmful and is raw and destructive hard-ball abortion poliitcs the kind that goes on all the time and everyone recogniozes, as even suggested by Sister Mary Ann Walsh in her hope that abortion politics is not at play here.
If you have been paying attention at all it is no surprise that abortion politics is red hot contentious, partisan and continuous. The Obama administration has knowingly made a point of requiring "full services health care " incuding abortion and contraceptive by Catholic institutions fot them to continue recieving federal program funding. This MRS decision without expalination follows the same pattern of religious intolerance and disruption of the service being adminstarted by the church. This loss of funding is significant and can not be trivialized as being easy to replace with private funding. It is not the Bishops job to conform to the wishes of abortion activist in the Obama administration.

The Art Institute of Chicago recently put together an art-inspired experience that lets consumers spend the night in an Airbnb bedroom that is designed to look like famed artist Vincent Van Gogh's room. The bedroom offers an aesthetic inspired by one of the artist's paintings that captures his living quarters with psychedelic colors rich in blues, red and oranges.
The room is an exact replica of Van Gogh's painting 'The Bedroom' that offers the same layout, furniture and decor in real life as the work of art displays. The room is avaliable in Chicago and fits two with access to a kitchen, TV and Internet. Despite how realistic the room looks to the painting, each piece of the decor is fully functional.

A Georgian favourite
St Swithun's, Worcester, is one of my favourite Georgian churches. A typical town church, it's hemmed in on all sides by streets and buildings – and by its 15th-century west tower, which is the only surviving part of the earlier church that stood on the site. The present St Swithun's was built in 1734–6 to designs by Thomas and Edward Woodward of Chipping Campden, who also refaced the tower and gave it a round-arched doorway.
In this as in many 18th-century churches, it's the interior that I particularly like, a welcoming space filled with natural light. The virtually untouched collection of box pews fit the nave beautifully, some facing towards the altar, some at the back facing inwards towards the aisle; there's also a west gallery,* an impressive three-decker pulpit, and some terrific ironwork.† As you take all this in, your eye moves upwards towards the curving plaster ceiling. This is a beguiling confection, its ribs and corbels evoking Gothic architecture, while its roundels and garlands have a classical feel. Its pale white plasterwork reflects the natural light from the big windows down on to the pews, increasing the splendour of the interior.
My admiration for this church meant I was sad to read on social media the other day that rain has penetrated the roof of St Swithun's, damaging the lovely plaster ceiling. This ceiling is more vulnerable because, apparently, there are no nibs or keys§ attaching the plasterwork firmly to the wooden laths that should be supporting it. The Churches Conservation Trust, who look after this church, are of course aware of the problem and are on the case. There is a fund-raising scheme in progress at the moment to obtain funds not only for retiling the roof and other repairs, but also to create craft skills apprenticeships, and to make the building available for artistic exhibitions and performances. As usual, the Trust deserve out support.
- - - - -
*This gallery is built up against the west wall, which is also the outer wall of the tower, the diagonal buttresses of which are still visible in the interior.
†The ironwork includes not only the altar that I illustrate but also an ornate sword-rest rising from the mayor's chair – a subject for a future post, perhaps.
§Keys or nibs are the bits of base-coat plaster that the plasterer pushes between the laths to 'key' the plaster to the woodwork.

I am very glad the curving plaster ceiling was originally (or later) created with pale white plaster work. I suspect dark church interiors were intentionally designed that way to put parishioners in a serious frame on mind. Splendid, light-filled interiors might have allowed the parishioners to think of pleasure and relaxation, rather than concentrating on sin and salvation.

Very sad to hear that rain penetrated the roof of St Swithun's and caused damage to the plaster ceiling. You're quite right in saying that the lack of nibs or keys attaching the plasterwork to the wooden laths would have made it particularly vulnerable. Hopefully the Churches Conservation Trust will be able to raise enough funds to get it fixed in 2017! Regardless, a brilliant blog post, thank you.

20 Questions That Only You Can Answer
Are you an alcoholic?
To find out, ask yourself the following questions,
and answer them as honestly as you can:
When I got sober it was normal and customary to give the newcomer a card with these questions to answer. We don't see them much around AA anymore but I still find them valuable to the newcomer. Maybe they will help you answer your questions. — Love and Peace, Barefoot
1. Do you lose time from work due to drinking?
2. Is drinking making your home life unhappy?
3. Do you drink because you are shy with other people?
4. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
5. Have you ever felt remorse after drinking?
6. Have you gotten into financial difficulties as a result of drinking?
7. Do you turn to lower companions and an inferior environment when drinking?
8. Does your drinking make you careless of your family's welfare?
9. Has your ambition decreased since drinking?
10. Do you crave a drink at a definite time daily?
11. Do you want a drink the next morning?
12. Does drinking cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
13. Has your efficiency decreased since drinking?
14. Is drinking jeopardizing your job or business?
15. Do you drink to escape from worries or trouble?
16. Do you drink alone?
17. Have you ever had a complete loss of memory as a result of drinking?
18. Has your physician ever treated you for drinking?
19. Do you drink to build up your self-confidence?
20. Have you ever been to a hospital or institution on account of drinking?
To find out how you did, count your "YES" answers,
Are you an alcoholic?
If you answered YES to one of the questions, this is a warning that you may be an alcoholic.
If you answered YES to any two, there's a good chance that you are an alcoholic.
If you answered YES to three or more, you are definitely an alcoholic.
Source: The Twenty Questions: Are You An Alcoholic? was developed in the 1930s by Dr. Robert Seliger, Department of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and intended as a self-assessment questionnaire to determine the extent of one's alcohol abuse.
Don't Sweat It – Most of us by the time we get around to answering these questions average more than 15 yes answers . . . I got all 20 . . . after my sponsor pointed out that Jails are institutions. Just Go to AA!!

Reviews from
Un Homme et Une Femme
This is one of the most beautiful collection of songs that I have ever heard. Every time I listen to my CD (morning, noon and night) I see the movie all over again. Every song while different in its own way, relates to the other, either with subtle counter melodies or sweeping harmonies. Every time I listen to this soundtrack, I hear something interesting that I missed before. If you can appreciate the classics, this should definately be in your selection for listening pleasure. Thirty five years after it's release this music is as fresh today as it was then. Definately the work of a true genius.
The Real Deal
This is the original soundtrack of the movie "A Man and a Woman", in French. The "Best of A Man and a Woman" album by Francis Lai is a recording in English, and has nothing to do with the movie. This version has the wonderful, romantic music that made the movie a winner of the Palm D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Yes, the price is outrageous (a rare import?), but I looked and could not find this anywhere else. You gotta pay for art.
Viva La Francis Lai!
Didn't think much of the movie, to tell the truth--what I recall of it 'lo these many years later. Now, as far as the soundtrack is concerned: well, that's a different story! Loved it more than 30 yars ago (when I owned the vinyl at one time), so did buy the CD recently and paid a pretty penny for it: something like under forty bucks! But it was worth it. I never get tired of the music. Don't pay what I paid for it, though. Mine was one of those imports from Japan. I just had to have it--and bought it. Five stars, of course.
