ela Lugosi's Dead" before disbanding in 1983. Murphy launched a successful solo career that has yielded ten solo albums so far, including his latest LION, released in 2014 (a companion remix compilation was released last year). The Stripped Tour spans the breadth of Murphy's material including his solo albums and his earlier Bauhaus works, as well as a cover or two for good measure.
After announcing the first leg of the Stripped Tour for U.S. audiences earlier this year, he sold out eight shows coast-to-coast. In light of this success, Murphy is planning to release a live album from the initial U.S. tour on Metropolis Records in the new year. More information on that release is forthcoming.Judge gives parents brief reprieve from hospital removing toddler’s life support against their wishes
SACRAMENTO, California, April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) –.
“We are thrilled to report that we now have an order in place that will prevent the hospital from withdrawing Israel’s life support through the weekend,” an LLDF statement said.
A temporary religious accommodation secured by LLDF allowing time for the family to gather before the hospital would withdraw the child’s life support was set to expire today, and now the search continues for a hospital to take Israel and provide him with both a breathing tube and a feeding tube.
The toddler has been on life support since shortly after an April 1 asthma attack, and been treated at several area facilities.
Kaiser assessed Israel for brain activity within less than 24 hours of his admission there without consent and against his family’s wishes, declaring him brain dead April 14.
His family believes he has shown responsiveness, and is looking for an interim facility to continue treatment so he can be released to home care.
They reached out to LLDF upon learning of the hospital’s intent to perform the tests on their son, initiating several court hearings for a restraining order to keep Israel alive while they explore medical options.
In addition to a step down medical facility, LLDF has sought a neurologist for a second opinion on the status of Israel’s brain activity.
Aside from periods of responsiveness, Israel’s family said his condition has not deteriorated since being put on life support, despite the hospital having not provided him the full range of nutrition for him to thrive.
Along with the need for proper nutrition, LLDF told LifeSiteNews it is important for Israel to get a breathing tube because it is not safe to be on a ventilator for a long period of time.
Arrangements are in place to life flight Israel anywhere in the country where he would be provided treatment and care, and LLDF said the family is willing to waive liability for the facility willing to take their son in the meantime while they locate a long-term care facility.
LLDF said it has received many calls and emails with possible leads on doctors and hospitals that might be able to help, but the search goes on.
“Thank you for your prayers and your overwhelming support for baby Israel,” the Foundation statement said. “Your response has been a tremendous encouragement to Israel's parents.”
To contact LLDF with information on a way to help Israel, call 707-224-6675 or email [email protected].
A GoFundMe account has been established for Israel.

INTERVIEW: Parents ‘won’t give up’ fight for 2-year-old son on life support
Parents fighting hospital to keep 2-year-old son on life supportI found a copy at a used bookstore earlier this year, after I'd been looking for one for a (very) long while. Serendipity, I suppose? :)

Personally, I didn't get any anti-theist vibes from it: I thought it made sense in the context of what Fr. Rodrigues had heard and witnessed of the persecution of Christians in Japan.

Also, part of the reason he and his companion made the journey was to find out whether their old teacher Fr. Ferreira really had apostatized as the rumors/reports mentioned. To have a thought like that weighing on their mind must've been discouraging and troubling.

The ending. Perhaps it makes more sense when we think about the author? Shusaku Endo was a Catholic in Japan--that alone was unusual. And when he studied for some time in France, he didn't quite fit in perfectly either, being Japanese. My edition of the book has an introduction which talks about this tension which he had to deal with, and it talks about how he wrote somewhere that if Christianity would be accepted in Japan, they needed to find a way of communicating it in a way that would speak to the Japanese, and one way he thought he'd found was to speak of Christ as a friend who was willing to suffer and lay down His life for His friends.There are mixed opinions on the recent appointments of Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) commissioners, with some legal minds saying the decision was illegal while others say it was a necessary breach of law.
But government has insisted there is no breach of law with the appointments.
Last Wednesday Chief Secretary to Government Zangazanga Chikhosi announced that President Lazarus Chakwera had appointed John Biziwick as commissioner general and two deputies Henry Ngutwa, responsible for revenue, and Agnes Katsonga to head administration.
But on Friday Chakwera said the appointment was on acting capacity “to stop free-for-all pilferage of taxes and destruction of evidence that have been taking place there in the last weeks”.
The President, however, pended the appointment of Deputy Inspector General of Police whose appointment was equally done outside the law.
Information sourced from MRA website shows that Biziwick, who has taken the position for a second time, reported for duties on Monday.
In both his Facebook post and interview with The Nation yesterday, professor of law at the University of Cape Town Danwood Chirwa argued that the MRA appointments are illegal and hence whatever decisions the commissioner general makes now will be invalid.
Put to him that the President had made the appointments to stop fraud, Chirwa said investigators could have done the job if crime was being committed at MRA.
But in a separate interview, University of Malawi’s Chancellor College dean of law Sunduzwayo Madise said in an ideal situation, the commissioners should be appointed by the board but in the absence of one, the President was justified to make the appointments.
He said if the appointments or the decisions of the appointees were questioned in a court of law, one may apply the doctrine of necessity, adding that in the absence of such a challenge, the decisions are valid.
Section 17 (1&2) of the MRA Act empowers the board to make the appointment of the Commissioner General with approval from the minister and the board to appoint deputy commissioners.
Two weeks ago, in what appears to be a clean-up exercise, the new administration dissolved boards of 67 parastatals including MRA, with an additional three boards being added to the list on Wednesday. The absence of the board is what led to breach of law in appointing MRA commissioners.
When contacted yesterday, Minister of Information, who is also government spokesperson, Gospel Kazako said there was no breach of law as the commissioners have been appointed on acting capacity.
He said once the board is in place the appointments will be regularised.
Meanwhile, corporate governance experts Kamwachale Khomba and John Kamanga have in separate interviews appealed to government to expedite the appointment of parastatal boards so that key operations are not affected.
On his part, Khomba, who has sat in over five public boards, added that when making board appointments, government should consider merit and not appeasement.
“Only people who can add value should be considered for such appointments,” he said.

Thinking about adopting this dog...
I've been thinking about adopting a dog for a while now, and this dog on petfinder.com REALLY caught my eye.
It's listed as a Pug/Hound mix, but I'm not exactly sure how accurate that is. The website doesn't seem to be certain of this either.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys had any idea what this dog may be, and I'm also wondering if you think this would be a good choice for adoption.
Only you can say who tugs at your heartstrings and makes a connection with you. Go down and spend some time w the pup and see how you feel. Keep an open mind and just go with it.
There's nearly next to no information for outsiders to go by if it's a match or not for you. The only way you would know if its a good match is to call them and arrange to meet her. If you see something in this dog, then it's worth looking into. I think it's great
