as he proclaimed the Gospel in the midst of insults an threats. And Saint Stephen the Protomartyr exhibited the Virtue of Charity as he prayed for his executioners, one of whom was the fire-breathing anti-Catholic zealot named Saul of Tarsus. Saint Stephen's prayers at the time of his martyrdom and from eternity thereafter won the conversion of Saul, who became the Apostle to the Gentiles, Saint Paul the Apostle.

Saint Stephen wanted to effect the conversion of his executioners. He did not seek to reaffirm them in their act of murder or to reaffirm them in the practice of Judaism. Saint Stephen did not dismiss or denigrate the gravity of their crimes. He simply did not hold those crimes against his persecutors as he prayed for their conversion.

We mustbefore is born for us this night. The long awaited Messiah comes as a helpless Infant, born in anonymity, poverty and humility. Bright radiant beams shine forth from His Holy Face, a Face that would be marred beyond all recognition by our sins as He walked on the Via Dolorosa on Good Friday to redeem us on the wood of the Holy Cross and thus make possible for us eternal life in Heaven in the glory of the Beatific Vision of God the Father, Himself, the God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

Those bright beams that shone forth from the Newborn Baby Jesus this morning are meant to shine forth from our own souls as we grow in the graces that He won for us on the

In addition, to the new article for this day, Christmas Day 2015, the following articles are reflections that have been written over the years. "Born to Give Birth to Us All "is a variation of a "homily" I wrote for a conciliar "bishop" twenty-six years ago and has gone through various redactions in The Wanderer, the printed pages of Christ or Chaos and on this website. "The Christ and His Mass" was written nine years ago. This article was written originally 2007. Each of the reflections repeat similar themes, which is why I decided that any effort of mine to write aus what their means permit when they are able to do so. We can only repay you with our poor prayers every day without fail.

The conception and birth of a child changes the life of his parents forever. The death of a husband or a wife ends the sacramental bond of Holy Matrimony. Neither the death of a parent or his child ends the bonds between them that were forged at the moment of the child's conception. A parent has the solemn obligation to help his child get home to Heaven from the first moment he is aware of the child's existence in his mother's womb.

As it was not possible to complete a brief article linking the barbarous merchants of evil in the world with Jorge Mario Bergoglio's


with the other Apostles, including the one who replaced Judas Iscariot, Saint Matthias, Saint Thomas became a bold proclaimer of the Catholic Faith, going to India, where he sacrificed his life for the Holy Faith.

Saint Thomas the Apostle touched the flesh of the Risen Saviour with his own hands. He then went on to touch the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of that same Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ with his own priestly hands as he uttered the words at Holy Mass that made the Messias incarnate under the appearances of bread and wine. The very words Saint Thomas uttered after he had touched Our Lord on Low Sunday, Dominus meus et Deus meus, are what we pray every time a true priest utters these words at Holyand ordinances betray them to death at the hands of doctors or of others, let them remember that God is the Judge and Avenger of innocent blood which cried from earth to Heaven." (Pope Pius XI,Casti Connubii, December 30, 1930.)

GOP witness list but, like other Republican witnesses before him, his testimony did more to hurt the party than to help. Hale testified that Trump and the Office of Management and Budget — which ordered the freeze at Trump’s directive — were at odds with every other federal agency on the decision. „The State Department advocated, as I did in that meeting, for proceeding with all of the assistance, consistent with our policies and interests in Ukraine,“ he said, referring to an interagency meeting that took place in July. He also defended Masha Yovanovitch, the US’s former ambassador to Ukraine who was abruptly recalled in May following what she characterized as a „smear campaign“ against her by Trump and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. Yovanovitch has been publicly attackedforced by defensive swats at the ball, not careless handling of the rock. Ryan Grant was guilty the first time around, and a few plays later it was Mike Jemison, the latter forced by S James Butler. Tiki got a few carries and ran well. He looks to have bulked up a bit in his upper body from last season.

TE Chris Luzar was open over the middle and dropped a pass – I place the blame on both him and the QB (I think it was Jesse Palmer, not sure) as the throw was wobbling, but it did get to him. Tim Carter flashed his speed on the sideline late in the session. He isn’t 100 percent, but he looked like he was turning up the jets without


ill effects.

Coughlin was very frustrated with the first team offense late in the practice. He blew the whistle and screamed to re-huddle not once but twice in three plays before the ball was even snapped.

Quarterback Notes:

Jared Lorenzen: He got some snaps today, and did not look good at all. I was very disappointed with what I saw from him, to be honest. Lorenzen did not make his decisions anywhere near fast enough on where to go with the ball. On multiple occasions, he just grounded it behind the line – 15 yard penalty in the game big guy. He also threw the only interception of the practice, reeled in by CB Will Allen, of all the unlikely candidates.

Jesse Palmer: I didn’t see him getting much work. He wasTD’s to the left corner to WR Michael Jennings, both over Frank Walker. He also made a nice throw (with an equally good catch by Willie Ponder) in a short no huddle drill, which was a nice recovery from a near pick by Curtis Deloatch. Deloatch had the ball in his hands (he jumped the route of TE Darius Williams) but Williams laid him out, jarring the ball loose. That was the only real hit I saw the whole day. Hasselbeck also seemed to have very good huddle command – the team moved smoothly when he was in there, quick to the line, good set and go, no problems.

Eli Manning: Manning had a decent day, but it wasn’t a spotless performance. His throws were on target (those that


Cowichan Chamber Highlights Progress at AGM

By Sonja Nagel, Executive Director of the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce

The Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce recently held its AGM. The evening included a presentation from Jon Lefebure, Mayor of the Municipality of North Cowichan and Chair of the Cowichan Valley Regional District.

Mayor Lefebure updated members on the status of three prospective public facilities: a new Cowichan District Hospital, Cowichan Secondary School, and a new RCMP building.

Chamber President Julie Scurr reported on the Chamber’s advocacy efforts that included supporting the proposed container and trans-shipment facilities in Port Alberni and area.

The Chamber also advocated for closing the gap on residential and non-residential taxes, and joined business across Canada in voicing concerns about the federal government’s proposed small business tax-changes.

Julie spoke about the Chamber’sACI provided Mr. James with a car and maintenance. Mr. James was required to return the cab after each shift with a full tank of fuel and to use a portion of the fares to purchase fuel.
Mr. James received his customers in various ways. First, ACI had several medical patient requests for transportation, which it passed along to its drivers. These customers received a fare discount based on a contract between ACI and Special Mobilities Services. Mr. James was free to refuse these customers. Mr. James also received customers at local taxi stands and by dispatch. He was free to refuse a dispatch, but he seldom did so. Fares were set by ACI.
At the end of Mr. James' shift, after buying fuel, he would divide the remaining fares


35 percent for himself and 65 percent for ACI, plus $12 to $15 per day for insurance. Mr. James did not personally carry insurance that would cover him while he was driving the taxi, nor did he have a special business license.
On March 10, 2002, Mr. James ceased working for ACI. On July 29, the Department served an order and notice of assessment on ACI for $567.51 for unemployment contributions for Mr. James's employment. ACI appealed the issue of whether it was required to contribute. After a hearing, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) affirmed the order and notice of assessment, deciding Mr. James's work was employment and there was no exemption.
On petition for review, the Department's commissioner affirmed the ALJ's decision. ACI next appealed to the superior court.Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman had felt the premier's steel.

Pallister lashed out with relish at Trudeau and Legault over a face-to-face meeting between the two men earlier this month. It was at this mini-summit that the Quebec premier delivered an actual list of demands he would like to see Ottawa fulfil before Canadians go to the polls in the fall.

Many political observers interpreted Legault's list as a thinly veiled offer to help Trudeau buy votes ahead of an election in which Quebec will be a major focus of attention by all major political parties.

Pallister accused Legault of "old-style brokerage politics." As for Trudeau, Pallister suggested he was actually enabling this behaviour. "Canada doesn't need kings pandering to feudal barons," Pallister told reporters. "What they need is a prime minister


who demonstrates respect for all of Canada."

It's safe to assume that Legault's brazenness raised eyebrows among first ministers from coast to coast. However, none of them convened a scrum to bash a fellow first minister.

It's safe to assume that Legault's brazenness raised eyebrows among first ministers from coast to coast. However, none of them convened a scrum to bash a fellow first minister.

Typically, first ministers demonstrate considerable deference when it comes to another premier's statements and decisions.

When Legault presents Trudeau with a list of demands, he knows it will play well with a large segment of the Quebec population.He will be seen as a political leader standing up for his citizens. Something that Pallister should be able to empathize with.

Pallister lashed out with relish at Trudeau and LegaultUniversity in Oxford, Ohio. Then again, the purpose of heating popcorn kernels is not to get them to jump.

Next, the French team determined the critical temperature at which all popcorn pops. They put kernels of microwaveable popcorn in an oven and cranked up the temperature in increments of 10 degrees C. Only 34% of the kernels popped at 170 degrees C, but 96% popped at 180 degrees C — regardless of the size of the kernel.

Finally, they investigated the source of popcorn’s popping sound.

They identified three possibilities: the fracture of the hull, the rebound on the ground, and the release of pressurized water vapor. To figure out which was responsible, they placed a high-end microphone 30 centimeters away from the hot plate and synchronized it with the high-speed


The New Silk Road is not only an extremely important economic initiative. Because it is a win-win perspective, it also addresses the two biggest dangers in the world today: the danger of a financial blowout of the trans-Atlantic sector and the danger of global war. I have to address the fact that if the hardline of the Troika insists that Greece should pay the debt, a debt of 360 billion euros which is completely unpayable, this will blow out the derivatives of the European and American banking system.

EIRNS

Helga Zepp-LaRouche being interviewed after her intervention at the Yiwu Silk Road Forum..

Two days ago, the Debt Truth Commission of the Greek Parliament found the Greek debt to be illegitimate, odious, and unpayable. Now, the debt blowout can be prevented ifthere is a European debt conference in the tradition of the 1953 Debt Conference for Germany, which was the precondition for the economic miracle of Germany to occur. If there is a credit policy adopted in the tradition of the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau [Credit Institution for Reconstruction], given the importance of its role in the reconstruction of Germany in the postwar period, this would mean going back to industrial banking in the tradition of Hermann Abs or Alfred Herrhausen, who were in the tradition of Alexander Hamilton, the founder of the American System of Economy in the United States.

The German economy is key to the situation, because there are many people in Germany—including retired members of the military, industrialists, and two former Chancellors, Helmut Schmidt and Gerhard Schröder,


the European Fund for Strategic Investment on the 29th of June which China's Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang will attend, this could become a venue to co-finance the extension of the New Silk Road to Southern Europe, and in that way address this problem.

Already in 2012, the Schiller Institute produced a comprehensive program for the development of the Mediterranean Basin Great Infrastructure Projects, which would extend the New Silk Road to all of southern Europe. It was based essentially on the proposal which the EU had already agreed upon at its conference in Crete in 1994: that ten transportation corridors be built. But they were never created because of the austerity policy of the EU.

This was also the subject at the big conferences in Bucharest andand distribution, and communications, because this is what governs the conditions for optimally locating industrial production and agriculture.

The purpose of these corridors is to increase the productivity of the population. The connection between the many ends of the New Silk Road in Yiwu, but also in Lianyungang and other places, to Duisburg, is one good example to show that the higher the development and productivity of an economy, the more important the speed and efficiency of transport. Because then the finished and semi-finished goods work together like a complex machine where each part functions as a part of a harmonious whole. The density of infrastructure in the Ruhr and Baden-Württemberg and in Rhein-Main should become the model for the Balkans and southern Italy and the Aegean Peninsula.

These are the corridors which will connect the world from the southern tip of Chile, all the way through the Americas to the Bering Strait, and then to the tip of South Africa.

This would mean cooperation in the areas of high energy-flux density industries like biophysics and space exploration. This project presents limitless possibilities for a "win-win" cooperation of the whole world.

Gottfried Leibniz in Novissima Sinica wrote more than 300 years ago:

The two most advanced cultures on the planet are located at opposite poles of the Eurasian continent, and that if these two poles join hands, then every region in between can be uplifted.

Now this vision today is true for the whole world. Together we can create a new era in human history where the human species isMinute 16 sees the total & utter debut of the Classic Album MINUTE BY MINUTE by the Doobie Bros's fifth track, "Don't Stop to Watch the Wheels".

Jesus. Yet when he faced possible social ostracization and even death at the hand of those against the new Rabbi, Jesus, Peter emphatically denied ever knowing either Jesus or His Disciples. Greene in all his novels interrogates this ambivalent nature of love. Greene's awareness of love is modelled on the Roman Catholic understanding of love. This in turn is shaped by Patristics. The Church Fathers understood that to be human is to be inevitably weak. Perfection and intellectual fullness are reserved for God. But when this God became Man; He was simultaneously God and Man. He was not only man, nor was He only God. He was weak to the extent that He had to be enslaved to His Love for His creation, which He had Created exnihilo. In Brighton Rock, we find what the deconstructionist John Caputo (b.1940), calls the weakness of God in Caputo's The Weakness of God: A Theology of the Event (Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Religion). It is reacting to this weakness of God that Greene constructs his theological anthropology deriving from St. Irenaeus (circa 130 –202 AD) , St. 1 See Pastor aeternus, 1870. Augustine of Hippo (345-430 AD) to St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 AD). Be that as it may; the point made here is that the title of this novel directs us to the ambivalence within each of us as reflected in each character of the novel. Except when it comes to Pinkie Brown. Pinkie is demonic and is absolutely turned against God as all demonic entities


113 U.S. 227 (1885)
ANDERSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
v.
BEAL.
Supreme Court of United States.
Submitted January 9, 1885.
Decided January 26, 1885.
IN ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS.
*235 Mr. A. Bergen for plaintiff in error. &mdash.
Mr. Wallace Pratt and Mr. Jefferson Brumbach for defendant in error.
*236 MR. JUSTICE BLATCHFORD delivered the opinion of the court. He recited the facts, as above stated, and continued:
It is not disputed that the recital, in the bond, that it was issued under the act of February 26, 1866, Sess. Laws of Kansas, 1866, ch. 24, p. 72, was an error. That act authorized county subscriptions to the stock of railroad companies, when authorized by a majority of the votes cast at a county election, if twenty days' notice of theelection had first been given "in some newspaper published and having general circulation in the county, or, in case there be no paper published in the county, then by written or printed notices posted up in each election precinct, twenty days previous to the day of such election;" and it authorized bonds of the county to be issued in payment for the stock. But it was repealed by the enactments of sections 1 and 2 of chapter 119 of the General Statutes of Kansas, of 1868 (pp. 1123, 1127), and for it were substituted sections 51, 52 and 53 of chapter 23 of such General Statutes of 1868, entitled "An Act concerning private corporations," pp. 203, 204. Those sections authorized subscriptions by counties to the stock of railway


companies created by Kansas, if the subscription was first assented to by a majority of the qualified voters of the county, at an election of which notice should be given "at least sixty days before the holding of the same." By the act of February 27, 1869, Sess. Laws of Kansas, 1869, ch. 29, p. 108, sections 51, 52 and 53 of chapter 23 of the General Statutes of 1868, were repealed, and the following sections were substituted:
"SEC. 51. The board of county commissioners of any county, the city council of any city, or the trustees of any incorporated town, may subscribe for and take stock, for such county, city or town in, or loan the credit thereof to, any railway company duly organized under this or anyother law of the State or Territory of Kansas, upon such conditions as may be prescribed by the aforesaid county, city or town authorities; Provided, however, that a majority of the qualified voters of such county, city or town, voting upon such question of subscribing and taking such stock, shall, at a regular or special election to be held therein, first, assent to such subscription and the terms *237 and conditions prescribed as aforesaid, upon which the same shall be made; and provided, further, that when such assent shall have been given, to such subscription as aforesaid, it shall be the duty of the said county, city or town authorities, as the case may be, to make such subscription.
"SEC. 52. A special election may be ordered by the


county commissioners of any county, the city council of any city, or the corporate authorities of any town, at any time, for the purpose of ascertaining the sense of the voters of such county, city or town, as contemplated in the preceding section. Notice of such election shall be given at least thirty days before the holding of the same, and the question or questions to be submitted thereat shall be set forth in such notice.
"SEC. 53. Upon the making of such subscription, such county, city or town shall thereupon become, like other subscribers to such stock, entitled to the privileges granted, and subject to the same liabilities imposed by this act, or by the charter of the company in which such stock is taken, except as thesame shall be varied and limited by the terms and conditions upon which the said subscriptions shall have been authorized and made. And it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners or city council or trustees of the town, making such subscription as aforesaid, to pay for the same and the stock thereby agreed to be taken by such county, city or town, by issuing to the company entitled thereto, the bonds of such county, city or town at par, payable at a time to be fixed, not exceeding thirty years from the date thereof, bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, and with interest coupons attached."
It is very clear that there was legislative authority, under the act of 1869, for


the issuing of the bonds in question. There was an election, and the requisite majority of those who voted assented to the proposition for the subscription to the stock and the issue of the bonds, and the subscription was made by the proper officers, and they issued the bonds, and when it was certified to them that the road was completed to Garnett they authorized the bonds to be delivered to the company, and the bonds were delivered in payment for the subscription and for *238 the stock agreed to be taken. The only question made is as to the notice of the election.
It is contended that the recital in the bond, that it is issued under the provisions of the act of 1866, is a recital thatthe duty of issuing the bonds. They were equally charged with the duty of ascertaining the fact of the assent.
The record evidence of their proceedings shows, that their order for the election was made thirty-three days before the election was to be held; that they met "pursuant to law for the purpose of canvassing returns of the election;" that they discharged that duty and certified that there was a majority of votes in favor of the proposition; that, in November, 1869, they resolved that, "in accordance with the vote, heretofore had and taken, of the electors of said county to that effect," they subscribed for the stock; and that, in July, 1870, in their order authorizing the bonds to be delivered by Joy to the company, they recited


that the bonds were issued "according to the provisions of the vote of the electors of said county." In view of all this, the statement by the commissioners, in the bond, that it is issued "in pursuance to the vote of the electors of Anderson County, of September 13, 1869," is equivalent to a statement that "the vote" was a vote lawful and regular in form, and such as the law then in force required, in respect to prior notice. The case is, therefore, brought within the cases, of which there is a long line in this court, illustrated by Town of Coloma v. Eaves, 92 U.S. 484, 491, and which hold, in the language of that case, that, "where legislative authority has been given to a municipalitycase, there was nothing shown to rebut the *240 presumption arising from the production of the coupons, that the plaintiff was prima facie the holder of them for value. The defendant did not show any want, or failure, or illegality, of consideration. By the passage of the first resolution of November 5, 1869, the board thereby subscribed for the stock. The transactions between the board, on the one side, and Mr. Joy, as president of the company, and the company, on the other side, before and at the time the bonds were finally delivered to the company, were an acceptance of the subscription. The statute, § 53, provided, that, on the making of the subscription, the bonds should be issued to the company, to pay for the subscription


and for the stock agreed to be taken. When the bonds were delivered to the company, the transaction was complete, and the bonds, as they afterwards passed to bona fide holders, passed free from any impairment by reason of any dealing by the board with the stock subscribed for, to which the county became entitled by the issuing and delivery of the bonds. The board may have committed an improper act in parting with the stock, but that is no concern of a bona fide holder of the bonds or coupons.
It is further to be said, that if there was, in fact, any want of proper notice of the election, the omission was only an irregularity in the exercise of an express power to issue the bonds, anirregularity in respect to a step forming part of preliminary conditions, and that the failure of the municipality and of the tax-payers to enjoin the issue or use of the bonds, during the long period from the day of the election, September 13, 1869, until the bonds were registered in March, 1872, when they still belonged to and were in the hands of the company, coupled with the annual payment by the county, for ten years, of the interest on the bonds, are sufficient grounds for holding that the municipality is estopped from defending on the ground of such non-compliance with a condition precedent as is set up in this case, after the bonds have been negotiated for value by the company. The record of the proceedings of

According to an arrest report, Jose Santiago Jr., 28, got into an argument with his roommate and wanted to do something that would embarrass the man and his girlfriend.

Police said Santiago photographed the victim Oct. 11 while she was sleeping on the couch at his home in Hialeah Gardens.

It was a Wednesday evening during the third session of The Healer’s Art, the course for first year medical students I developed at UCSF’s medical school 22 years ago and still teach there every year. The topic of the evening was Allowing Awe and Mystery in Medicine and the 70 or so first year students and 13 faculty who had gathered had broken up into small groups of six and scattered into separate rooms to share and discuss their personal experiences of the topic.

I was sitting downstairs in the large living room of the Faculty Alumni House waiting for these small group discussions to end and the class to re-gather. With me on the couch was one of the donors whose generosity has made the course possible. Wewere chatting together, but with difficulty. The old house is wooden and the noise level was impressive. Submerged in the sound of almost 100 excited voices, we could barely hear one another speak.

Suddenly the small discussion group that was sharing the living room with us fell silent and within seconds the entire house was absolutely still. On the couch we looked at one another in shock. It was so quiet we could have been alone in the house. Instinctively I looked at my watch. Second after second went by without a sound. After four minutes 23 seconds, we heard a single voice from upstairs, clear through the wooden floor, offer a comment on the experience of Mystery. In the next breath the huge sound of almost 100 voices

The wildly popular S-Town podcast entranced listeners and ignited controversy earlier this year with its mesmerising portrayal of the residents of small-town Alabama. But for one man featured in the story of John B McLemore, it has had a more serious impact.

Tyler Goodson – a neighbor and close friend to the antique watch repairer whose life and death were the focus of the show – is set to face trial on Monday for burglary, his arrest having featured on the podcast when McLemore’s cousins accused him of stealing from their relative’s property.

The prosecutor in Goodson’s case doubled the number of charges against him after listening to the podcast, and tried to use some of his quotes in the show to keep him locked in jail when he wasGoodson: “In the podcast, he basically admits to the trespass and the burglaries and the thefts.”

After his arrest in 2015, Goodson was freed on bond, but after another arrest for shooting his brother’s dog in April this year, Jones invoked the podcast in an unsuccessful attempt to have Goodson thrown back in jail. He cited a clip in which Goodson tells Reed he wanted to cut the finger off a man who had allegedly stolen from him. Goodson has yet to stand trial in that case.

The Tuscaloosa News reported that Goodson’s attorneys, JD Terry and Cedrick Coleman, tried to have the trial moved to a neighboring county as the jury in Bibb County would likely be influenced by the podcast, but the judge refused.


Head of home affairs select committee says private security contractor should waive fee for failing to deliver on the London 2012 Olympics guardian.co.uk

The private security firm G4S should be the first name on a government blacklist of "high-risk" companies that have failed to deliver public services, a cross-party investigation into the Olympic security shambles has concluded.

The Commons home affairs committee says G4S should forgo its £57m management fee for the contract that it still insists on claiming and has a "moral duty" to pay those people whom it trained but failed to use as venue security guards.

Keith Vaz, the committee chairman, said: "Far from being able to stage two games on two continents at the same time, as they recklessly boasted, G4S could not even stage one. Thecontinued fulfilment by this important UK company of other contacts, both in the UK and internationally."

The MPs say they were shocked by the "apparent reluctance" of the company's chief executive, Nick Buckles, to grasp this point when he appeared before them.

The committee says government departments, police forces and other public bodies should not place too much weight on a company's size and reputation when deciding future contracts.

Many of those recruited for employment during the Olympics were severely let down by G4S, the MPs add, and the company has a moral duty to pay those who were trained but did not work or were expected to pay for their own uniforms.

The longer-term future of G4S is more likely to be affected by the committee's call for those who commission

A project to teach psychiatry to medical students in a protected workshop is described. The aim was to provide extended exposure to mental illness in the community but also for the students to present their findings to their peers and teacher in the presence of the patient. From a content analysis of the comments of the students and the patients, it emerges that while the experience was a positive one overall, the students were uncomfortable asking personal questions, and had particular difficulty presenting the patient's mental state and diagnosis in the patient's presence. Many of the patients were ultra-orthodox Jews and the conditions of the interviews often caused them religious concern. The experience was important


for its emphasis on communication, and the feedback from the students and patients succeeded in identifying areas for change, such as accommodating religious concerns, and discussing with the patient sensitive issues such as the meaning of a diagnosis of schizophrenia.Spain 'told Edward Snowden was on Bolivia president's plane' Published duration 5 July 2013

media caption President Evo Morales: "If necessary, we will close the US Embassy in Bolivia"

Spain and other European countries were told that US whistleblower Edward Snowden was on board the Bolivian president's plane earlier this week, the Spanish foreign minister has said.

Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo refused to say who gave out the information.

The plane carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales from Moscow back to La Paz was grounded for 13 hours in Austria earlier this week after it was banned from European airspace.

Edward Snowden was not found on board.

The incident has been widely condemned by President Morales and several other South American nations, who have demanded an apology from the countries involved.

Diplomatic damage?

"They told us they were


sure... that he was on board," Mr Garcia-Margallo told Spanish television, without indicating who "they" are.

"And so the reaction of all the European countries that took measures - whether right or wrong - was because of the information that had been passed on. I couldn't check if it was true or not at that moment because it was necessary to act straight away."

image caption Edward Snowden is wanted in the US on espionage charges

Mr Garcia-Margallo denied reports that Spain - along with France, Portugal and Italy - had closed its airspace to the plane.

He said the delay in Austria meant the flight permit had expired and had to be renewed, so there was "no need to apologise".

Mr Garcia-Margallo's comment is the first official recognition by the European statesthat the incident with Mr Morales' plane was connected with the Snowden affair.

Spain will be keen to limit the diplomatic damage as it does a lot of trade with countries in Latin America, the BBC's Tom Burridge reports from Madrid.

France earlier apologised for the plane incident, blaming it on "conflicting information".

Embassy closure threat

President Morales' plane was rerouted on Tuesday as he travelled from a meeting in Russia where he had suggested he would be willing to consider an asylum application from Mr Snowden.

The former CIA contractor is believed to be holed up at the transit area of Moscow airport after leaking details of a vast US surveillance programme.

He has sent requests for political asylum to a number of countries, including Bolivia.

Mr Morales was joined by the presidents of


Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Venezuela and Suriname at a meeting on Thursday to discuss the incident.

The leaders demanded an explanation from France, Portugal, Italy and Spain over their actions and, although the US was not mentioned in their statement, several of them criticised the Americans in comments after the meeting.

The Bolivian president blamed Washington for pressurising European countries into refusing him passage, and threatened to close the US embassy in La Paz.

"We have dignity, sovereignty. Without America, we are better off politically and democratically," he said.

The US state department has not commented directly on the latest claims, saying only that Washington had "been in touch with a broad range of countries" over the Snowden case.

Reuters Staff

2 Min Read

MILAN, Italy (Reuters) - Bottom team Benevento held on to their forlorn hopes of avoiding relegation from Italy’s top flight after a Pietro Iemmello goal gave them a shock 1-0 win at former European Cup winners AC Milan in their Serie A clash on Saturday.

Benevento, who have 17 points from 34 games, will only be able to prolong their fight for survival if 18th-placed Crotone, on 28 points from 33 matches, fail to win at Udinese on Sunday.

Milan stayed sixth on 54 points from 34 games and are in danger of missing out on European competition next season, with seventh-placed Atalanta two points behind them before their home game against Torino also on Sunday.

Iemmello netted a


29th-minute winner with a calm finish after a defence-splitting pass by Nicolas Viola, with match official Maurizio Mariani allowing the goal to stand after brief offside consultations with the video assistant referee (VAR).

Benevento had substitute Cheick Diabate sent off in the 80th minute when he received a second yellow card for elbowing Leonardo Bonucci but the visitors fully deserved their win at the San Siro.

Their goalkeeper Christian Puggioni pulled off a pair of superb saves to deny Patrick Cutrone and Giacomo Bonaventura. Franck Yannick Kessie hit the underside of the bar for Milan, who looked flat and bereft of ideas most of the match.

The lively Viola and Daniel Cataldi came close at the other end as Benevento looked dangerous on the break, while Milan’s final pass kept goingcold beverage, and then suddenly lost consciousness. The duration of unconsciousness was a few seconds. There were no seizure-like movements or incontinence during the attack, and he felt no numbness or motor weakness before or after the events. The patient reported more than twelve episodes of syncope before presenting to the cardiology outpatient clinic at Samsung Medical Center. A skin laceration was noted on his forehead from the last episode of syncope.

The patient was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation seven to eight years ago, and had been taking warfarin since then. He was also diagnosed with diabetes mellitus three years ago. His diabetes was well controlled with oral hypoglycemic agents.

The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial fibrillation with a ventricular response of 60-70. His echocardiography did not show any significant


Russia Said To Recall Ambassador At Center of Trump Controversy Report

Russia Said To Recall Ambassador At Center
of Trump Controversy Report by Tyler Durden According to BuzzFeed, which cites three anonymous
sources, Russia is reportedly recalling Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, the man who dared to do his
job and talk to US politicians and visible public figures, and who according to The Hill
had “emerged as a focal point in the FBI probe into Russia�s election meddling.” While the Kremlin has not confirmed the report,
BuzzFeed adds that Kislyak is scheduled to leave Washington next month, following a July
11 going-away party at the St. Regis Hotel, two blocks away from the White House. Trump speaking with Sergey Lavrov and Russian
ambassador Sergey Kislyak during a White House meeting. Kislyak, 66, had been reported to beheading
to New York to lead Russia’s delegation at the United Nations. If confirmed, his return to Russia will mark
the end of his 10-year tenure as Russia’s leading diplomat to the United States and
makes him another casualty of the growing controversy over the Russian activity. As readers are well aware, Kislyak has been
a key figure in the growing investigation by a special counsel and multiple congressional
committees into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election that put President
Trump in the White House. Two key Trump administration officials, Attorney
General Jeff Sessions and adviser Jared Kushner, had meetings with Kislyak last year that they
failed to disclose to congressional and federal officials. Sessions recused himself in March from any
Justice Department investigation into the Russian interference, in part because of his
unreported contacts with Kislyak.


Education Notebook: When the flu's got you down

The flu is no laughing matter. Luckily, I've been able to steer clear of it this year — yes, I knocked on wood — but it has certainly ravaged the city over the past month-plus.

It has been felt particularly hard in schools, where student absences were noteworthy both leaving for the two-week Christmas break and returning from it.

In the Abilene Independent School District, especially, the week before taking time off from school was a bad time. According to the district, 203 students missed class of some sort the final week of school before Christmas in December.

"We were hit extremely hard just prior to the Christmas break," district spokesman Phil Ashby said in an email Tuesday.

That's quite the understatement.

Those 203 students whoschool, was ill herself.

So, when I asked them for their numbers, they sent me generalized information. According to attendance records, Wylie says, 409 absences were reported the week of Dec. 21, while 127 absences were reported during the first three days of the first week back to school.

Those numbers are about dead even with the figures reported during the same time period of the 2016-17 school year. But, again, they include more than just flu-related absences.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to climb back into my anti-flu bubble.

Trifecta for TSTC

Three tidbits of news from Texas State Technical College las week:

First, officials for the culinary school on North First Street celebrated the winter growing season and what it means to students studying how to turn vegetables into delicious


food.

Kayleen Mills, a Culinary Arts instructor at TSTC's Abilene campus, uses celery and onions in stocks. Locally grown celery is available from December to April and onions can be planted in November and December in Central and South Texas with crops being available from March to August, according to the state extension service.

Herbs are also available year-round throughout the state. Mills said she and other faculty members grow herbs in raised gardening boxes in the parking lot next to the T&P Depot in downtown Abilene.

"It's a huge money saver and time saver and it's neat for the students to see it too," Mills said. "Things like that do very well in the winter."

Woman Lost Hope After A Three Year Search For Her Missing Dog. That’s When A Miracle Came Calling

Margo Will was in tears when she found out that her Daschund mix, Aussie, went missing. Will was returning from a trip when her neighbor called and told her that Aussie escaped from their backyard. Will was heartbroken and did everything she could to find her beloved pup, but after two and a half years, she gave up hope that she was ever coming home. The dog was missing with no leads at all, until the staff at Presentation High School in California noticed someone wandering around a garden on the school’s campus. The director of the building’s grounds, Cary Atkinson, tried to approach her to see if she had aEU budget; Estonia got a bit less since it "only" has 88,000 non-citizens.

These lies probably would have never surfaced and the Baltic States would have kept getting the easy money, if it were not for the current refugee crisis in Europe. As EU leaders began allocating refugee quotas across the union, they noticed that the Baltic States had one of the highest "refugee" numbers in the entire EU.

The truth was revealed and some EU leaders began to speak about the issue, accusing the Baltic States of stealing EU funds.

Furthermore, following the real refugee crisis EU leaders opened their eyes to the ugly side of their own members — the Baltic States discriminated against their own residents simply based on their ethnicity. What a true reflection of European values!


Medals of Honor Bestowed on 10 Asian Pacific Americans

By Rudi Williams
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON -- The United States bestowed its highest military
medal for bravery on 10 Asian Pacific Americans between 1911 and
1969.
Filipino Pvt. Jose B. Nisperos was the first Pacific Islander to
be awarded the Medal of Honor. He received the award for valor
during the Philippine Insurrection while serving in the U.S.
Army's 34th Company, Philippine Scouts.
During an action on Sept. 24, 1911, at Lapurap, Basilan,
Philippines, according to his citation, Nisperos was so badly
wounded he couldn't stand. His left arm was broken and lacerated
and he suffered several spear wounds in the body. But he
"continued firing his rifle with one hand until the enemy was
repulsed, thereby helping prevent the annihilation of his party
and the mutilation of their bodies," the citation states.
Nisperoswas a native of San Fernandos Union, Philippines.
Filipino Navy Fireman 2nd Class Telesforo Trinidad received the
Medal of Honor for heroism following a boiler explosion aboard
the USS San Diego on Jan. 21, 1915.
"Trinidad was driven out of fire room No. 2 by the explosion, but
at once returned and picked up Fireman 2nd Class R.E. Daly, whom
he saw to be injured, and proceeded to bring him out," the
citation states. "While coming into fire room No. 4, Trinidad was
just in time to catch the explosion in fire room No. 3. Without
consideration for his own safety, Trinidad passed Daly on and
then assisted in rescuing another injured man from fire room No.
3. His face was severely burned by the blast from the explosion
fire room No. 3."
Trinidad was a native of New Washington Capig,


Philippines.
Two Asian Pacific Americans received the Medal of Honor during
World War II, Sgt. Jose Calugas and Pfc. Sadao S. Munemori.
Calugas was honored for action on Jan. 16, 1942, near Culis,
Bataan Province, Philippines. He was a member of the Philippine
Scouts' 88th Field Artillery.
"A battery gun position was bombed and shelled by the enemy until
one gun was put out of commission and all the cannoneers were
killed or wounded," the citation stated. "Sgt. Calugas, a mess
sergeant of another battery, voluntarily and without orders ran
more than 1,000 yards across the shell-swept areas to the gun
position.
"There he organized a volunteer squad which placed the gun back
into commission and fired effectively against the enemy, although
the position remained under constant and heavy Japanese artillery
fire," the citation continued.
Calugas was a native of Barrio Tagsing, Leon, Hoilo,Philippine
Islands. He later retired as a U.S. Army captain and died in
February 1998 in Tacoma, Wash., at age 90.
Munemori, a native of Los Angeles, was awarded the Medal of Honor
posthumously for gallantry on April 5, 1945, near Seravezza,
Italy. He was a member of the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd
Regimental Combat Team, an all-Japanese American outfit
originally formed in Hawaii.
When his unit was pinned down by grazing enemy fire and the
outfit's leader lay wounded, Munemori took over and made frontal,
one-man attacks through direct fire and knocked out two machine
guns with grenades, the citation read.
"Withdrawing under murderous fire and showers of grenades, he had
nearly reached a shell crater occupied by two of his men when an
unexploded grenade bounced on his helmet and rolled toward his
helpless comrades," the citation continued. "He rose into


the
withering fire, dived for the missile and smothered its blast
with his body. By his swift, supremely heroic action, Pfc.
Munemori saved two of his men at the cost of his own life and did
much to clear the path for his company's victorious advance."
Six Asian Pacific American soldiers from Hawaii received the
Medal of Honor during the Korean and Vietnam wars.
During the Korean War, the Medal of Honor was accorded Cpl.
Hiroshi H. Miyamura of Gallup, N.M.; Sgt. Leroy A. Mendonca of
Honolulu, Hawaii; and Pfc. Herbert K. Pililaau of Waianae, Oahu,
Hawaii.
Miyamura was awarded the medal for gallantry in action against
the enemy near Taejon-ni, Korea, on April 24 and 25, 1951,
according to the Medal of Honor citation. He was fighting with
Company H, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division.
On the night of April 24,the enemy threatened to overrun the
company's defenses. Miyamura, a machine gun squad leader,
"unhesitatingly jumped from his shelter, wielding his bayonet in
close hand-to-hand combat, killing about 10 enemy soldiers," the
citation noted.
Returning to his position, he administered first aid to the
wounded and directed their evacuation. "As another savage assault
hit the line, he manned his machine gun and delivered withering
fire until his ammunition was expended," read the citation. "He
ordered the squad to withdraw while he stayed behind to render
the gun inoperative. He then bayoneted his way through
infiltrated enemy soldiers to a second gun emplacement and
assisted in its operation."
The intensity of the enemy attack forced the company to withdraw,
but Miyamura covered the men's withdrawal. "He killed more than
50 of the enemy before his ammunition ran out," the citation
states."
Although severely wounded, Miyamura continued


to repel the attack
until his position was overrun. "When last seen, he was fighting
ferociously against an overwhelming number of enemy soldiers,"
his citation reads. Actually, while trying to rejoin his friends,
he tried to play dead until a group of enemy soldiers passed his
position. One saw through his ruse and captured him.
Miyamura's Medal of Honor was approved in December 1951, but kept
secret for his safety until his repatriation on Aug. 20, 1953.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented him the medal in a White
House ceremony on Oct. 27, 1953.
Mendonca was cited for conspicuous gallantry in action against
the enemy near Chich-on, Korea, on July 4, 1951, according to the
citation. Mendonca was killed during the battle.
"After his platoon, in an exhaustive fight, had captured Hill
586, the newly won positions were assaulted during the nightby a
numerically superior enemy force," the citation continued. "When
the 1st Platoon positions were outflanked and under great
pressure and the platoon was ordered to withdraw to a secondary
line of defense, Sgt. Mendonca voluntarily remained in an exposed
position and covered the platoon's withdrawal.
"Although under murderous enemy fire, he fired his weapon and
hurled grenades at the out-rushing enemy until his supply of
ammunition was exhausted," the citation states. "He fought on,
clubbing with his rifle and using his bayonet until he was
mortally wounded."
After the action, it was estimated that Sgt. Mendonca, a member
of Company B, 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, had
accounted for 37 enemy casualties.
"His daring actions stalled the crushing assault, protecting the
platoon withdrawal to secondary positions, and enabling the
entire unit to repel the enemy attack and retain possession of
the vital hilltop


position," the citation read.
Pililaau, a member of Company C, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd
Infantry Division, earned the Medal of Honor on "Heartbreak
Ridge" near Pia-ri, Korea, on Sept. 17, 1951.
"The enemy sent wave after wave of fanatical troops against his
platoon, which held a key terrain feature on 'Heartbreak Ridge,'"
the citation said.
The company's ammunition nearly exhausted, Pililaau stayed behind
to cover the company's withdrawal. He fired his automatic weapon
into the ranks of the assailants, threw all his grenades and,
with ammunition exhausted, closed in hand-to-hand combat with his
trench knife and fists until falling mortally wounded.
During the Vietnam War, the medal was bestowed on Cpl. Terry
Teruo Kawamura of Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii; Staff Sgt. Elmelindo
Smith of Honolulu, Hawaii; and Sgt. 1st Class Rodney J.T. Yano of
Kealakekua Kona, Hawaii.
Kawamura perished while fighting enemy soldiers at CampRadcliff,
Vietnam, on March 20, 1969. He served with the 173rd Engineer
Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade.
"An enemy demolition team infiltrated the unit quarters area and
opened fire with automatic weapons," the posthumous Medal of
Honor citation reads. "Disregarding the intense fire, Kawamura
ran for his weapon. At that moment, a violent explosion tore a
hole in the roof and stunned the occupants of the room. Kawamura
jumped to his feet, secured his weapon and, as he ran toward the
door to return enemy fire, he observed that another explosive
charge had been thrown through the hole in the roof. He
immediately realized that two stunned fellow soldiers were in
great peril and shouted a warning.
"Although in a position to escape, Kawamura unhesitatingly
wheeled around and threw himself on the charge. … preventing
serious injury or death to several members of his


unit," the
citation said.
Smith received the Medal of Honor posthumously for heroism during
a reconnaissance patrol with the 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry, 4th
Infantry Division, on Feb. 16, 1967.
His platoon was suddenly hemmed in on three sides by deadly
machine gun, mortar and rocket fire, the award citation states.
"Smith moved through the deadly fire along the defensive line,
positioning soldiers, distributing ammunition and encouraging his
men to repel the enemy attack," the citation reads. "Struck to
the ground by enemy fire, which caused a severe shoulder wound,
he regained his feet, killed the enemy soldier and continued to
move about the perimeter."
Wounded again in the shoulder and stomach, Smith started crawling
on his knees to assist in the defense. "Noting the enemy massing
at a weakened point on the perimeter, he crawled into the open
and poured deadly fire intothe enemy ranks," the citation
continued.
Smith was stunned by a rocket, but regained consciousness minutes
later. "Drawing on his fast-dwindling strength, Smith continued
to crawl from man to man. When he could move no farther, he chose
to remain in the open where he could alert the perimeter to the
approaching enemy. Smith perished, never relenting in his
determined effort against the enemy.
"The valorous act and heroic leadership inspired those remaining
members of his platoon to beat back the enemy assaults," the
citation read.
Yano was decorated posthumously for valor as a crew chief aboard
an 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment command-and-control helicopter
near Bien Hoa, Vietnam, on Jan. 1, 1969.
Enemy troops entrenched in dense jungle attacked the helicopter
with small arms and anti-aircraft fire, the Medal of Honor
citation notes. "From an exposed position in the face of intense
small arms and


anti-aircraft fire, Yano delivered suppressive
fire upon the enemy forces and marked their positions with smoke
and white phosphorous grenades. This enabled his troop commander
to direct accurate and effective artillery fire against the
hostile emplacement," the citation stated.
A grenade exploded prematurely, covering Yano with burning
phosphorous and leaving him severely wounded. Flaming fragments
within the helicopter caused supplies and ammunition to detonate.
Dense white smoke filled the aircraft, obscuring the pilot's
vision and causing him to lose control, the citation continued.
Though he'd lost the use of one arm and was partly blinded, "Sgt.
Yano completely disregarded his welfare and began hurling blazing
ammunition from the helicopter," the citation states. "In so
doing, he inflicted additional wounds upon himself, he persisted
until the danger was past. His indomitable courage and profound
concern for his comrades averted loss of life and additional
injurypolitical class more generally. They need to because of the magnitude of the harm they cause and the risk of governments placing restraints on their activities.

As Stephen Wilks, the author of The Political Power of the Business Corporation, says:

“The business corporation is a work of genius. It has harnessed material resources, technology and organisation, mobilised by human imagination and innovation, to create wealth and mass prosperity unimaginable to earlier generations. In the process it has unleashed less attractive aspects of human ambition including greed, dominance and lust for status, but at least these baser impulses have operated through peaceful commerce. Its sheer success means that it has become a constituent feature of contemporary political life, omnipresent, often unremarked, but powerful enough to dictate political choices.”

Unremarkably, it is self-serving.


In Uganda, in a scene worthy of an Evelyn Waugh novel, educators at Kampala University this week watched in sorrow as their files, furniture, computers, textbooks, office stationery and other scholastic materials were loaded into three lorries and driven away to parts unknown.

The materials were taken from the campus to allow for the setting up of a new university in the existing one's stead. The new institution will be called Kampala International University.

But few at the old university knew where their materials were being taken to - vice-chancellor Badru Kateregga, who arranged for the removal vans, was not saying - and what was to become of the hundreds of students at the existing institution who are now without a university. Dr Kateregga has since said he will createanother Kampala University, but he has not said where it will be or who will be granted admission.

"The former students are still in suspense," an editorial comment in New Vision noted, adding the status of both universities was "still a matter of contention" at an official level.

The paper revealed the new buyers had neither formally received a license to begin teaching, nor named more than two of the senior university officials expected to serve at the new university. The ever more enigmatic former vice-chancellor continued to shroud the whereabouts of the former university. "Only time will tell whether his former students will follow him," the paper concluded helplessly.

In South Korea, "the public education system is on the verge of collapse", the Korea Times announced, not for the first


their employability and the state's competitiveness."

The Times doubted whether this will ever really happen, and for that it blamed the country's oversubscribed higher education system.

"All these problems can be traced back to the nation's universities," it said. "The extreme gap between educational demand and supply has long made the entrance to first-class universities a life-or-death affair."

In Australia, a court has ruled that an academic, summarily fired from a leading university after voicing concerns about grade inflation be reinstated.

The case, described by local unions as a trendsetter in higher education and led to calls for British academics to boycott the offending institution, involved Ted Steele, an associate professor of microbiology at the University of Wollongong, in New South Wales. Dr Steele, who had lectured at the institution for 16years, was dismissed without warning on February 26, after he suggested in a newspaper interview that he had been pressured to upgrade his students' marks.

The judgment "can only be seen as an indictment of the university's failure to treat Dr Steele fairly, and as a powerful warning to other universities against similar behaviour undercutting academic freedom and freedom of speech," said the Sydney Morning Herald. On a more internationally pertinent note, the paper pointed out that concerns about grade inflation in Australia are hardly confined to Wollongong: at least five of the country's vice-chancellors have now gone on record as saying the Australian system was "in crisis".

It added: "The problem of maintaining standards is widespread and is a result of the corporatist pressures all universities have come to


face. That, not personal vindictiveness, is the approach the University of Wollongong should be taking."

Algebra for Adulterers? Or, in the cogent words of Slate magazine, "What every philandering politician and travelling salesman should know about the odds of getting caught."

A scholastic think-piece, of sorts, addressing this very theme, written by Jordan Ellenberg, an assistant professor of mathematics at Princeton University, appeared on the publication's website earlier today.

As pretty well every news watcher on the planet knows by now, Chandra Levy, a young intern in Washington, mysteriously vanished from her apartment, in May, shortly before she was due to attend a university graduation ceremony in California.

Arsene Wenger was Manchester United's first-choice replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson, says ex-chairman Martin Edwards.

Ferguson had announced his intention to step down in the 2001-02 season, before performing a u-turn later in the campaign and eventually staying at Old Trafford for more than a decade.

Ahead of Ferguson's change of heart, United had wasted no time in their search for a successor, though, turning to their major title rivals as the first port of call.

"Our first choice was Arsene," Edwards has revealed in his new autobiography, Red Glory. "Since joining Arsenal in 1996 Wenger had been greatly successful, especially in his first full season in charge when he won the Double.

"And while it's


true to say he suffered hard times since, at the time we thought he was the best candidate to replace Alex. Certainly he was my number one choice.

"So we made our approach and Wenger did show a little bit of interest, enough to want to meet Peter Kenyon and me at his house in London to listen to what we had to say."

Despite several meetings between Wenger and United, Edwards believes the Arsenal boss' commitment to the club's then hierarchy kept him at the Gunners.

"I think Wenger felt loyalty to David Dein," Edwards added. "HeFor indispensable reporting on the coronavirus crisis, the election, and more, subscribe to the Mother Jones Daily newsletter.

One of second-year coach Mike Yeo's tenets since taking over has been to change the culture of the team, where players see themselves and their team as winners and expect to win, as Yeo witnessed during his days in Pittsburgh as an assistant coach. Fortunately for the Wild, most of their top youngsters will arrive having already experienced the process of winning championships and gold medals at their levels. If the club can eventually guide them into helping to do the same at the premium NHL level, there potentially may be a new powerhouse in the West in the near future.
