Costain has secured Government funding for a £1 million project that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of nuclear waste needing to be stored.
Working with partners MDecon, Tetronics International and the University of Manchester, the Manchester-based Costain team will develop new ways to treat irradiated graphite from decommissioned nuclear reactors. The project will begin in April 2015 and will last three years.
Funding has come from a joint £13 million initiative between Innovate UK (formerly known as the Technology Strategy Board), the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to stimulate the UK’s civil nuclear power sector.
The Costain-led project will be tackling a major issue facing the industry, said Dr Bryony Livesey, Costain Head of Research and Technology.
“Irradiated graphite is one of the key challenges in the decommissioning and radioactive waste management of legacy nuclear facilities, both in the UK and internationally. Graphite is a very bulky form of radioactive waste that is difficult to remove from the reactor core at the end of life. If it is removed from the core it represents a large, and hence expensive, waste stream for storage and subsequent burial. This disadvantage has led to the current strategy of leaving graphite ‘in-situ’ in shut-down reactors until waste facilities become available.
Commented Alex Vaughan, Managing Director, Natural Resources: "Costain continues to develop new innovative solutions with its partners to meet many of our country’s national needs. We are delighted with the continued progress in developing this ambitious solution."
The decommissioning market is set to expand, with up to 145 reactors, mostly in Europe, expected to reach the end of their lives in the next 15 years. The global decommissioning market is estimated to be worth £50 billion annually.

I am a Special Educator at Paul School. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English, a Master's degree in Elementary Education, and N.H. certifications in K-8 and Special Education. I work primarily with middle school students. In my humble opinion, I have the best job at Paul School. Why? Because I believe every child thrives when they are successful in school, and removing barriers to success, especially for students with disabilities, is my goal. I get to see students of all abilities be successful every day, and I am very motivated to came to school to see that!
My hobbies include bird watching, photography, and traveling almost anywhere! I don't consider myself a big risk-taker, but I did go skydiving on a student bet once. (I figured if I could do that, I could do anything!) My biggest personal goal that I am working towards is to go on an African safari with a friend to photograph the "Big 5." I often use stories of my adventures to encourage students to work hard to achieve their own goals.
Parents often ask how they can help their child. Is there a secret? Yes! You can help your child develop the three habits of successful students. Your child will almost certainly be successful if they do these things.
Consistently give their honest best effort when working on assignments, including homework. If they need help, encourage them to communicate that to the teacher, speaking privately to the teacher or emailing the teacher if they prefer. No student should feel embarrassed if they need more help!

So the man said 'Yes' in a moment, and then he caught fish in plenty ; but when he got home at night, and his wife showed him a baby which had just been born, and fell a-weeping and wailing when he told her of the promise which he had given, he was very unhappy.
All this was soon told to the King up at the palace, and when he heard what sorrow the woman was in, and the reason of it, he said that he himself would take the child and see if he could not save it. The baby was a boy, and the King took him at once and brough him up as his own son imtil the lad grew up. Then one day he begged to have leave to go out with his father to fish; he had a strong desire to do this, he said. The King was very unwilling to permit it, but at last the lad got leave. He stayed with his father, and all went prosperously and well with them the whole day, until they came back to land in the evening. Then the lad found that he had lost his pocket-handkerchief, and would go out in the boat after it; but no sooner had he got into the boat than it began to move off with him so quickly that the water foamed all round about, and all that the lad did to keep the boat back with the oars was done to no purpose, for it went on and on the whole night through, and at last he came to a white strand that lay far, far away. There he landed, and when he had walked on for some distance he met an old man with a long white beard.
' What is the name of this country ? gaid the youth.

PDF Add Pages is a powerful utility that you can use to add one or more empty pages to your PDF documents. You can also write some internal text to the empty pages, and specify other settings for it. PDF Add Pages is designed for novice PDF users.
Space Screensaver brings you the majestic view of travelling through outer space between the various stars in our solar system right on your desktop. Capture the beauty of space and stars of the upper skies without leaving the comfort of your home.
The game starts with a 9x9 board with three colored balls selected from seven possible colors. The player may move one ball per turn, and only to a particular space on the board if there is a path (linked set of vertical or horizontal empty cells).
There is something about space that has attracted people for centuries. The search for intelligent life beyond the Earth has driven scientists to develop new technologies to make space exploration become practically possible.

This cabin is 468 sq. ft. and can hold a maximum of 6 people. There are 2 bedrooms in this cabin, both with two twin beds. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room.
This cabin offers privacy while still having a wonderful view of the lake. This cabin sits just behind cabins #2 and #3 and thus no other cabins are on either side of it. There is great parking alongside the main driveway which makes for easy access for our guests who wish to take their boat on and off the property to fish surrounding lakes.
For the 2016 season, this cabin underwent major renovations in the kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom areas. This cabin has an open-concept design in the kitchen, dining, and living room areas with all new flooring installed in these areas. A beautiful rough-sawn basswood vaulted ceiling is now over the kitchen and dining room areas. A new window installed over the kitchen sink provides for lots of additional light coming in as well as another beautiful view of Jessie Lake. The bathroom was also completely remodeled and equipped with a brand new vanity, 36-inch shower, and new flooring.

Hi and welcome to my digital home!
My mission is to inspire YOU to live life to the fullest! After losing it all during the Great Recession in 2008 – marriage, work, savings – and having to go on welfare as a single mom, I reinvented my writing career online and eventually built a profitable online business: Viva Fifty Media. It all started with the website VivaFifty.com which I launched a few months after turning 50.
I found out early in life that I wasn’t 9 to 5 material. I´ve never had a full-time job, by choice, but always made a living with words. I´m passionate about sharing with others how to pull off the profitable creative life!
Here is where you can learn and share about life as a full-time digital content creator and entrepreneur. I, like many other women, juggle my work with parenting. I am raising two teens and a tween. We also have a rescue dog, Toby. My husband, Phillippe, is an author, an involved father and stepdad, and is also heavily involved in Viva Fifty Media.
We all form a quirky multicultural and bilingual blended family. We’ll I’m struggling with making the kids bilingual, but it’s never too late to give it another try.
Although I work hard, I also feel it’s important to take time for self-care. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health is vital. I used to be a runner and a dancer, but I injured my hip during a half-marathon a few years ago. I rediscovered yoga in the summer of 2015 and now it permeates my life and my family’s.
I would love to know what brought you here and even better, what made you stay! What can I do for YOU?
P.S.- I could not do everything that I do and do it well, on my own!
P.D.- No podría hacer todo lo que hago yo sola ¡y hacerlo bien!

SHE FELT AN AWFUL PAIN IN HER VA@INA, SO SHE WENT TO CONSULT A GYNECOLOGIST: YOU WILL BE SHOCKED WHEN YOU SEE WHAT HE FOUND!
The famous blogger, Michelle Barrow, shared a strange story that happened to her with her readers.
She said that she felt pain in the abdominal area, so she went to see her gynecologist.
She couldn’t even think or suspect that her cats had something to do with this situation.
“The thing we found between her legs was not and old tampon or a sanitary napkin – it was a hairball”.
She thought it was her own hair, but she was wrong.
The hair was from her cats.
So, are you guessing how the hair ball ended up in Michelle’s body?
Well, the answer is quite simple and very strange at the same time.
Michelle shares her bed with her boyfriend, and her cats as well, and they left hair balls on her sheets.
So, during the sexual act, the hair ball “slipped” in her va@ina.
Cats, yes they are sweet – but, they also have lots of hair.
So, try not to share your bed and sheets with your cats and dogs.
And make sure you share this article with your friends and family who have cats and dogs.

A group of us from Church went into town sharing the good news today. I took some Million Pound notes with me as a conversation opener. In fact, while waiting for the bus to town I was chatting to a woman at the bus stop and gave her one. I said: “When you get home, give it to your husband and tell him you got this out of his bank account!” Some of the team also took one.
We also had envelopes with a (real) £5 note inside to give out with a little “This one’s on us!” leaflet inside. We gave them out outside coffee shops to those about to go in. Some people were a little suspicious about being blessed with a free gift, but they gladly accepted the money when they opened up! We told them we were from Clearspring Church, as it makes a surprising change for a church to give YOU money. As we all know, Churches usually WANT your money!
We also came across a homeless guy so we got him some food and drink from a nearby cafe. He knew the places around town that did free food, so we headed off. I had a long conversation with an 18 year old guy who is sitting A Level exams this year. He attended a local Catholic Church. He’d heard of “born again Christians” but didn’t really understand it. I took him through what Jesus said to Nicodemus in John’s Gospel Chapter 3. He said he was more scientifically minded, and found some things in the Bible hard to believe. I asked if he knew the pass mark for Heaven and he didn’t. He was amazed when I said “100%”, but when I explained how the imputed righteousness of Christ becomes ours as disciples, he began to see what I meant. The righteousness of Jesus becomes ours when we are born again of God’s spirit. “No-one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again” – the words of Jesus in the Bible, John’s gospel Chapter 3 verse 3. I gave him my card as we left, and invited him to get in touch.
All in all, a good morning in town sharing Jesus and His love.
Some Churchgoers have been more active, running from speaker to speaker seeking “that new anointing” that will enable them to do great things for God. The fact is that we aready have all the anointing we need from Christ, aka “the Anointed One”. If you want to do the works of Jesus you need His anointing aka the Holy Spirit; there isn’t any other in reality. Also, to do the works of Jesus you need to walk out of the church building, be obedient and do what Jesus had already commanded his disciples to do. As you go out in obedience and faithfulness, he will equip you.
Jesus rightly condemned the Pharisees for their slavish adherence to “Tradition”. We have been just as guilty, following our own traditions that – ultimately – have evidenced little true discipleship, and even less fruit.
So if you want to get started in Christian healing you need to start by doing it.
Below are some really great links to get you started.

Greece's new Investment Incentives Law (3908/2011) responds to the diverse needs of today’s investor and, in parallel, creates a forward-looking investment environment.
As Greece orients itself to the global economy, establishes outward-directed policies, and institutes a green development model, both domestic and foreign investors will find a new, open investment framework that is welcoming, attractive, and rewarding.
The new Law establishes priorities and policies that mandate an investment process characterized by speed, transparency, and results.
Investors will discover productive incentives, financing tools, and streamlined procedures so their business plans proceed with the least amount of bureaucracy and the greatest amount of clarity.
Greece is committed to Results, Speed, and Transparency.
Greece is committed to you, the investor.

Articles > Leave and absence > Parental leave > How much parental leave are employees entitled to?
Parental leave — not to be confused with ‘shared parental leave,’ which allows both parents to share paid parental leave — is unpaid time off for mums and dads with children under 18 years of age.
Your employees might be entitled to take parental leave for all kinds of reasons, from researching a new school to simply spending more family time together. Here’s what you need to know.
Eligible employees can take parental leave to look after the welfare of their children. Parental leave is unpaid, but the employee’s employment rights — such as the right to return to their job — are protected during it.
Employees must meet all of the above criteria. You can ask for proof, such as a birth certificate, the first time the employee requests parental leave. It’s unreasonable to ask for proof every time.
Your organisation can choose to extend parental leave eligibility to a wider group of employees, such as step-parents and ordinary foster parents. Rules should be included in your employee handbook.
How much parental leave can employees take?
Eligible employees are entitled to 18 weeks of parental leave for each of their children, including adopted children, under 18 years of age.
The maximum statutory parental leave they can take in one year is four weeks per child. You can increase this allowance if you choose.
Employees must take parental leave as whole weeks, not individual days, unless the child is disabled. Your organisation can allow employees to take individual days if preferred.
Parental leave allowance applies to the child, not the job. If a new employee with one child has taken six weeks of parental leave at their previous job, they’ll be entitled to a further 12 weeks before the child turns 18.
Employees requesting parental leave must give you 21 day’s notice. When giving notice, they should also confirm the start and end dates of their leave.
You can delay or postpone an employee’s parental leave if you have a valid reason, such as that it would cause significant disruption to business. Delays must be explained to the employee in writing within seven days of their request. You can’t delay leave if it’s being taken directly after the birth of the child, or until after the child’s 18th birthday when the employee would no longer be eligible to take it.

As the clashes ensue, will we still be able to witness the beauty of the Islamic City of Marawi?
MANILA, Philippines – Marawi City is ground zero of the Maute Group's attack which started Tuesday, May 22.
According to the military, the street-to-street battles in the area have killed 19 civilians.
More than the clash, what do we know about the city?
Marawi is the capital of Lanao del Sur province, situated in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
It is a fourth class city with a land area of 87.55 square kilometers, subdivided into 96 barangays. Majul Usman Gandamra is the declared mayor of Marawi, following an electoral protest against the close-contender Omar Ali.
It has always been predominantly Muslim since Islam was introduced to the native population in the 14th century. On April 1980, it was declared "Islamic City of Marawi" through a city council resolution.
Before Marawi was known for its current name, it was first called as "Dansalan" which means "destination point".
When the Americans came, they continued the campaign against Maranaos. As the place flourished as a trading hub, non-Maranaos, mostly Chinese and Christian families, were invited to settle in the area.
In 1907, Dansalan was officially created as a municipality under the Moro Province Legislative Council. It was declared as the capital of then Lanao province.
Following Commonwealth Act No. 592 in 1940, Dansalan was converted into city. It was the last city chartered under the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
Marawi City is also known as the "Summer Capital of the South" for its cool climate due to its high elevation, a nickname it shares with Malaybalay City in Bukidnon. The city stands 700 meters above the sea level.
The biggest campus of the Mindanao State University system is also in Marawi, where the Kalilang Golf and Country Club can be found. The golf course gives a majestic view of Lake Lanao.
In the city proper, a Kilometer Zero marker can be found which used to be the reference point of all roads in Mindanao.
The violence in Marawi prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to declare martial law in Mindanao to quell what he said was a fast-growing threat of militants linked to the Islamic State terrorist group.

From The Prompt Vault ... What's *YOUR* Magic?
Working on the premise that everyone has magic ... what's your own magic? Can you define it?
-- Aet Tunissoo (tonissoo@ra.gov.ee), November 18, 1999.
My magic is being able to fade into the background, to be unnoticed, and just *observe* people and things.
-- Tree (pmanzella@hotmail.com), November 18, 1999.
A few things come to mind, which makes me think I don't have a good grip on it, but I'm in that rambling-all-over-the-map kind of place today, so here I go anyway.
Resilient courageousness - I seem to keep coming back to face [difficult] things, to embrace them for healing and growth.
Accepting what is, with loving-kindness.
And these days I feel the stirrings of a deep joyfulness and celebration. I think it will take a while for that to be a part of my magic, though.

Paying close attention to people or things.
-- Chris (chris@clatimer.freeserve.co.uk), November 18, 1999.
Magic - the use of charms to contol events; the art of illusion. What's my charm, then? How do I spin the everyday into gold? I have no clue. The thing I like most about myself is that I try - I wade in, I worry a problem like a dog with a bone, I wrestle it into submission - I fall back and pant and get revived and try again. I slog, I plod - I don't give up until I'm damn good and ready. Doesn't feel very magical, though.

~AWARENESS~Being able to go beyond the everyday dribble.The ability to survive based on my own personal belief system set up by that very awareness, that this is not all that is and everything is possible.I am blessed with the ability to see through the eyes of an artist,hear with the ears of a musician,smell with the scent of a coonhound,play guitar with the hands of my ancestors,and speak with the honesty of a child.On a heightened day I travel worlds beyond this one and all those senses merge into one hell of a spiritual experience. Over all, "MAGIC is my MAGIC!"
-- Donna Carter (DeeJaye53@hotmail.com), November 18, 1999.
an extreme curiousity, to learn, to meet, to understand something other than the norm. this leads to a dedication, motivation.
-- a grasp on the "inner child".
-- El (eparkins@mail.coin.missouri.edu), November 18, 1999.
The ability when I write -- when I *really* write instead of jot -- to tune in to something bigger. Witness last night's magic: I was really pushing, pulling, coaxing, stroking it ... waiting ... trying ... to say something worthwhile and wah la! Synchronicity.
If that ain't magic, I don't know what is.
-- Nancy Birnes (turret@mediaone.net), November 18, 1999.
My magic, I think, is comfort. I can sit quietly with those in pain. I know if someone needs an old soft blanket, a dirty joke, or a listening ear. I know how to change the feel of a sad or angry room. My spells are filled with candles, wind, cats, strong coffee, homemade soups, books and cinnamon. They are dusty but strong old spells, and I hear them weaved into Catherine's writings and that makes me smile. I wish at times I had a wild, intense magic! I can't sing or dance, and I don't turn mens heads when I walk down the street...but thats okay. I think my magic element is earth.

Creation is my magic. Whether the fathering of children to imagining worlds, creation is king.
Al, who is alive and well and at Nova Notes.
-- Al Schroeder (al.schroeder@nashville.com), November 19, 1999.
i've been thinking about this, over and over again, since you posted the questions. i can't see my magic. i have this deeprooted disbelief that it exists. sure, there are moments when i feel like the queen of the world, spinning around, stirring people up with crazy ideas and open eyes.
maybe it's just that i'm too dazzled by the magic of others, the magic all around me.
-- heyoka (katie@heyoka.com), November 19, 1999.
My magic is a secret world I spin around myself. Gossamer silk that encloses a places, captures many ideas, impassions creativity and lets me be who I am outside the give and take of ordinary life. Secret thoughts, secret visits, secret writing...even a very few secret people. If everything we have is an open book, then there is no place to retire to when the weight of the day grows too heavy. My secret world is also my Achilles heel, because when things go wrong within this private place I can't tell anyone, can't even express my distress to those around me. Like most magic, secrets cut both ways.
-- Michele (michele@excerpta.org), November 19, 1999.
Occasionally (far from usually), I just... *shine*. People are attracted to me on sight. Sometimes sexually, more often just curious to know me better. But it's not a glow, or a sparkle - we're talking 200W incandescent lightbulb here. S'been a curse as often as a blessing. And it only happens occasionally. I think it's related to the manic part of my SADD, though not directly related. Anyway.
-- marianne aldrich (marseillaise@hotmail.com), November 20, 1999.
Heyoka said: "maybe it's just that i'm too dazzled by the magic of others, the magic all around me."
But I say, that IS your magic, Heyoka! That you are AWARE of all that beauty, grandeur, quiet simplicity, and so forth! THIS is what I claim too, as my magic. The awareness of the magic, both within those private moments with self, when I am simply awed for beauty's sake, and in communion with others. That I can capture just a small part of this in my creations gives me joy.

The upper graph shows the growing senior population contrasted to the diminishing birth rate.
The lower graphs show the growing difference in total population and total work-eligible population aged 15-64.
The United States provides retirement security for the elderly and disabled in a number of ways: Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are the main components of the social welfare program. Each of these systems is financed primarily with payroll taxes called the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) tax. The underlying philosophy is that the able should pay for the healthcare of those unable to pay for themselves due to age or disability in the hopes that one day the next generation does the same for them. Sound logic to be sure, but what happens when the previous generation failed to repopulate the nation in the same way their parents did? What happens when this trend is repeated through one, two, three, or four generations? For a long time analysts have been warning about the coming drought in the Social Security Administration coffers, but more and more it is starting to appear that it may be just over the horizon.
Using Forecasting functionality from ATSD, current population figures and birth data, models may be created to predict trends in the potential American population crisis.
All data is sourced from the United States Federal Reserve FRED database.
Data is visualized using Trends, a public instance of ATSD with subsets of public data from organizations like the United States Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of Israel, the SEC, FCC, and other government agencies.
Implement Forecasting for a five year period.
Open the Trends visualization and use the drop-down list to navigate through time to compare working-aged population to the United States total population.
Fig 2: The portion of the population eligible for work (aged between 15 and 64) is shown in purple, while the remaining ineligible population is shown in red.
The upper Histogram Chart plots the frequency of each value of annual crude births per one thousand persons; the lower Histogram Chart tracks the 65+ population by percentage. Deceptively, the data seems to show that the average amount of births outperforms the aging population, but when scaled to 100, in fact, the aged population severely outnumbers the amount of crude births which are occurring.
Fig 3: Open the Trends visualization and modify the number of bars in either histogram using a bar-count setting for more granularized data visualization.

Fig 4: The Box Chart and Histogram Chart establish the median and range values of the dataset, which are then used in the alert-expression, which alerts when a condition is satisfied. Here, the condition colors a bar red if it is greater than the calculated median value. This shows that since late 1998, the number of people deemed ineligible to work has surpassed the calculated median value and continued to grow.

Scale Data Forecasting to work with per annum data as seen here just as readily as millisecond-frequency data input from a sensor or other device.
Using forecasting, the continuation of mathematical trends is readily observable. Forecasts may include periodicity settings for data which is repetitive over some interval. In this example, only mathematical factors have been considered which any sociologist would say is flawed methodology since population reproduction is the result of an array of complicated non-mathematical factors as well. However, strictly mathematical modeling is often used to predict trends under the assumption that social factors remain constant for a given period of time.

The upper graph shows the growing senior population contrasted to the diminishing birth rate .
 The lower graphs show the growing difference in total population and total work - eligible population aged 15 - 64 .
 The United States provides retirement security for the elderly and disabled in a number of ways : Medicaid , Medicare , and Social Security are the main components of the social welfare program . Each of these systems is financed primarily with payroll taxes called the Federal Insurance Contribution Act ( FICA ) tax . The underlying philosophy is that the able should pay for the healthcare of those unable to pay for themselves due to age or disability in the hopes that one day the next generation does the same for them . Sound logic to be sure , but what happens when the previous generation failed to repopulate the nation in the same way their parents did ? What happens when this trend is repeated through one , two , three , or four generations ? For a long time analysts have been warning about the coming drought in the Social Security Administration coffers , but more and more it is starting to appear that it may be just over the horizon .
 Using Forecasting functionality from ATSD , current population figures and birth data , models may be created to predict trends in the potential American population crisis .
 All data is sourced from the United States Federal Reserve FRED database .
 Data is visualized using Trends , a public instance of ATSD with subsets of public data from organizations like the United States Federal Reserve , the Central Bank of Israel , the SEC , FCC , and other government agencies .
 Implement Forecasting for a five year period .
 Open the Trends visualization and use the drop - down list to navigate through time to compare working - aged population to the United States total population .
 Fig 2 : The portion of the population eligible for work ( aged between 15 and 64 ) is shown in purple , while the remaining ineligible population is shown in red .
 The upper Histogram Chart plots the frequency of each value of annual crude births per one thousand persons ; the lower Histogram Chart tracks the 65 + population by percentage . Deceptively , the data seems to show that the average amount of births outperforms the aging population , but when scaled to 100 , in fact , the aged population severely outnumbers the amount of crude births which are occurring .

Kaly Barthlow is the owner and designer behind String Art by Kaly. She currently resides in Selah with her fiance (they will be married in September) and their cat Cami. Kaly graduated from Selah High School in 2011.
Kaly began creating string art on the first anniversary of dating with her fiance. She was looking for something cool to get him for the anniversary and came upon a piece of Seahawks string art. When she looked at the price, it seemed too expensive, and she decided to just try to do it herself. The next year she made the Mariners compass logo and posted it on Facebook, thinking she could make custom orders if anyone wanted one. The business took off from there, and she quit her full time job in November of 2017. Now, she continues to create custom orders, makes some for our pro shop, and even does string art classes (public or private) upon request.

President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team held an hour and 15 minute meeting on Tuesday with just over a dozen social justice groups that presented what they see as the concerns of Catholics. In response, some Catholic bishops and commentators have told CNA that they don’t believe these groups’ concerns resonate with those of the Church.
The discussion between the Obama transition team and the different representatives touched on international development and trade, health care reform, reducing abortions, immigration, domestic policy and poverty reduction, and the environment.
The meeting of the 14 different organizations was organized by Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and the lobbying group “Network,” which describes itself as "a progressive voice within the Catholic community" that lobbies Congress on justice and peace issues.
Sr. Simone Campbell, director of Network, told the National Catholic Reporter that the meeting was called to "acknowledge the work that some of the Catholic groups had done in the Catholic community during the election and to begin to develop relationships for ‘post-Jan. 20,’ when the new administration takes over after Obama’s inauguration."
James Salt, Organizing Director of Catholics United, explained to CNA that Catholics United participated in the meeting by highlighting "key policies that are important to Catholics.
"Specifically we want the new administration to take seriously its commitment to reduce abortions in America. People of goodwill from both sides of the conversation can agree that 1 million abortions a year are 1 million abortions too many. We wanted to make sure that the Obama administration knew this was one of our highest priorities."
Yet, when Salt was asked if Catholics United planned to hold Obama accountable for his pledge to work to reduce abortions, he was cautious. "We're hopeful that the Obama administration is with us on abortion reduction. We were not there to make asks, but rather to build consensus around real solutions."
Salt also added that no one raised the issue of Obama overturning the Mexico City Policy, which prevents American aid from going to those who counsel women on the availability of abortion.
Alexia Kelley, Executive Director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, informed CNA that there are "many efforts underway and planned" to show support for the incoming administration as well as to challenge it to keep its abortion reducing commitment.
Additionally, Kelley mentioned that the topics of how to help the poor, homeless, children and the sick during these times of economic hardship were also raised.
Both Salt and Kelley confirmed to CNA that there was no one officially representing the Catholic Church present at the meeting, although they thought that an Obama team representative had met with key bishops at the USCCB.
Bishop Thomas Wenski, a member of the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace, reacted to the meeting by saying, "while the Obama transition team is free to meet with anyone they wish…the fact is that the only ones who speak for the Catholic Church are the bishops.
"If the transition team wished to telegraph a message that their intention is to marginalize the bishops then there is reason for some serious concern regarding the relationship between the future Obama administration and this nation's 60 million Catholics," Wenski said.
Catholic scholar and author George Weigel expressed his doubts about the meeting’s make up. "If the Obama transition team thinks that meeting with the refugees from the Catholic revolution that never was is a way to open a dialogue with the Catholic Church in the United States, they're far less clever than I think they are. This strikes me as simply a pay-off to people who, from the Obama campaign's point of view, helped with the ground game in 2008."
The proof of the social justice groups’ commitment to promoting Catholic concerns will be in "how these ‘Platform for the Common Good’ folks help the rest of the Catholic Church defeat the Freedom of Choice Act and maintain the Bush administration's AIDS and malaria-reduction initiatives in Africa, which has helped millions more poor people than any of these groups has ever managed to do," Weigel explained to CNA.
Bishop of Madison Robert Morlino also added that the transition team must do more to dialogue with the Catholic Church. "Recognizing the stark contrast between the positions on abortion of the President-elect and the teachings of the Catholic Church, it would be a mistake for the President-elect's transition team to pretend that this meeting satisfied his promise of dialoguing with the Catholic community," he said.
The bishop of Phoenix, Thomas Olmsted, also weighed-in on the meeting by addressing what a Catholic organization should be emphasizing. He told CNA that “Being 'right' on any number of other issues will never outweigh the taking of human life through abortion. It would be my hope that any group calling themselves 'Catholic' would make this message abundantly clear, and express grave concern over the possibilities that the new administration may increase funding for abortions with public money or even erode conscience protections for Catholic hospitals and healthcare workers."
Finally, Brian Burch, who heads a group of four lay Catholic organizations in the political, legal, research and educational fields, also expressed misgivings about the ability of the social justice consortium to rein in Obama’s policies.
"We are pleased to hear that the Obama transition team is interested in talking with Catholics, but caution that such conversations must be weighed against his reported plans on abortion policy, including his Cabinet selections thus far. Specifically, we remain concerned that the new Administration is composed of leading abortion advocates who are preparing to overturn a large number of existing pro-life laws, while proving hundreds of millions of new taxpayer dollars for abortion.
"The fact that transition officials are consulting a select group of Catholic organizations who supported Obama's candidacy is not surprising. Whether these groups, some of whom claim to adhere to Catholic teaching, are able to hold him accountable on the issue of life, remains doubtful."

It lives in the deep ocean and catches its prey by luring them in with glowing light organs referred to as photophores. In such a darkish abyss, fish are drawn to the light delay by the organ and as soon as they are shut sufficient the fangtooth fish catches them in his numerous giant teeth. For more about alpaca 2014 have a look at our own website. He seems to be like an underwater vampire. One other carnivorous sea animal is the deep-sea lizardfish. These interesting fish look virtually like a brief snake in water. Their mouths are covered with harpoon-tipped teeth that grasp their prey and don't let go, just like a fish hook. These teeth are hinged so that they can flattened down when prey is going in and stand up when resisting. They don’t even must actively swallow; the struggling prey just ratchets itself inside.
