It's sad to note that many wives--whether from genuine affection or lack of viable options--continue to live with their physically abusive husbands.

Proverbs 11:15, Bible in Basic English

He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe. 


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

The welfare of our families, our own peace, and our ability to pay just debts, must not be brought into danger. But here especially let us consider the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in becoming Surety even for enemies.

It's ok to show affection in public IF you don't over do it.Holding hands, a kiss on the cheek,or a peck on the lips,a hug,or your love ones lightly rubbing your back...

Yes, affection can be displayed without making a show of it.

Speaking of grace, well, with all the pressure he felt, doing away with himself clearly was a courageous thing to do--courage being a double-edged virtue.

From subject article:

"Married love teaches us that we bring all of ourselves into a marriage - anxiety, boredom, free-floating sadness and alarm. I continue sometimes to feel unhappy about my work, to worry about my future and to be disappointed with myself and with my friends. Except that now, rather than sharing my sorrows, I tend to blame the person who lives beside me for them. My wife isn't just a witness to my problems, on a bad day, she can sadly end up being held responsible for them."

He, he. Paet... 

Books do not prepare us for real love; on the contrary, they prepare us for unreal--or more often, surreal--love.

The 74-year-old priest is accused of having a long-term sexual relationship with the teenage girl beginning in 1960, and seeking her forgiveness later, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Long-term? Basin gugma jud tingali...

Sat Feb 12, 8:10 pm ET


LOS ANGELES â€" A Catholic priest who admitted having a sexual relationship with a high school girl more than 40 years ago was removed his position, and a high-ranking official who oversaw the background checks of priests resigned.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles announced Friday that the Rev. Martin P. O'Loghlen, who worked at Holy Name of Mary Church in San Dimas, was removed from any priestly activities.

The archdiocese said it was reacting to inquiries from a New York Times reporter researching an article about O'Loghlen.

The 74-year-old priest is accused of having a long-term sexual relationship with the teenage girl beginning in 1960, and seeking her forgiveness later, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Cardinal Roger M. Mahony separately accepted the resignation of the Archdiocesan Vicar for Clergy, Msgr. Michael Meyers. Archdiocese spokesman Tod Tamberg told the Times that Meyers had been in charge of procedures intended to ensure that no sexual predators remained in ministry positions. He had held that position since 2009.

The archdiocese said it had not received any complaints about O'Loghlen during the two years he had been assigned to the San Dimas church.

In Friday's announcement, church officials said they did not fully consult records that revealed O'Loghlen's past admission of sexual misconduct.

In 2007, the LA archdiocese agreed to pay $660 million to 508 people who accused priests of sexual abuse. The payout was the largest settlement in a scandal that involved an estimated 5,000 priests nationwide and cost the Roman Catholic Church more than $2 billion to resolve cases in the US.

Usahay kay mapugos man ta pag-conserve sa energy kay way kagamitan... 

Diay additional tips para sa tanan natong nag-celebrate sa Singles Awareness Day (SAD) imbis Valentine's Day:


1. Do not define yourself by your relationship status. Your relationship status is not your identity.

2. If you are single because of a recent loss, allow this to be a day of grieving. Do not pretend that it’s not a hard day. Get support and sympathy.

3. Realize that Valentine’s Day is a commercial holiday. It is not about love and relationships; it is about selling flowers, candy, and diamond jewelry. Think of all the money you are saving.

4. Plan well in advance to do something that will not place you in the path of billing and cooing couples. Even if you usually like dining out alone, do something else on Valentine’s Day.

5. Get together with people who do love you -- friends, family members, the people who already have relationships with you.

6. If you are single and you don’t want to be, start now to think about what is in the way of you creating the relationship you want. Find ways to work on becoming the person your dream partner would fall in love with. Start therapy. Take up yoga. Begin to volunteer. Create art. Make meaning. Act to change the world. It is into the fullest lives that love is most likely to fall.

7. If you are single and you like it, now is the time to affirm your choice. People who never marry or partner have close, loving, emotionally intimate relationships and lives worth living. Do not let a couple-driven culture define your choice as something wrong.

Cebu City’s two members in the House of Representatives said they will apportion some of their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to extend financial assistance to informal settlers who will be affected by City Hall’s demolition of illegal structures along creeks and rivers.

Sociopathic thug? Socialist luminary? Or as existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre called him, “the most complete human being of our age”? Whatever you believe, there’s no denying that Ernesto “Che” Guevara has become the patron saint of revolutionaries. Undeniably, he is a man of mythical status â€" a reputation that persists less because of how he lived than because of how he died.

Unenthused by his efforts to incite revolution among the poor and oppressed in Bolivia, the nation’s army (trained and equipped by the U.S. military and the CIA) captured and executed Guevara in 1967. But before dumping his body in a secret grave, they gathered around for a strategic photo op. They wanted to prove to the world that Che was dead, in hopes that his political movement would die with him. in fact, anticipating charges that the photo had been faked, Che’s thoughtful captors amputated his hands and preserved them in formaldehyde.

But by killing the man, Bolivian officials unwittingly birthed his legend. The photo, which circulated around the world, bore a striking resemblance to Renaissance paintings of Christ taken down from the cross. Even as Che’s killers preened and gloated above him (the officer on the right seems to be inadvertently pointing to a wound on Guevara’s body near where Christ’s final wound was inflicted), Che’s eerily peaceful face was described as showing forgiveness. The photo’s allegorical significance certainly wasn’t lost on the revolutionary protesters of the era. They quickly adopted “Che lives!” as a slogan and rallying cry. Thanks to this photograph, “the passion of the Che” ensured that he would live on forever as a martyr for the socialist cause.

http://www.divinecaroline.com/22189/98450-thirty-books-everyone-read-they-re


The Web is grand. With its fame for hosting informative, easy-to-skim textual snippets and collaborative written works, people are spending more and more time reading online. Nevertheless, the Web cannot replace the authoritative transmissions from certain classic books that have delivered (or will deliver) profound ideas around the globe for generations.

The thirty books listed here are of unparalleled prose, packed with wisdom capable of igniting a new understanding of the world. Everyone should read these books before their thirtieth birthday.

1. Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
A powerful story about the importance of life experiences as they relate to approaching an understanding of reality and attaining enlightenment.

2. 1984 by George Orwell
1984 still holds chief significance nearly sixty years after it was written in 1949. It is widely acclaimed for its haunting vision of an all-knowing government, which uses pervasive, twenty-four/seven surveillance tactics to manipulate all citizens of the populace.

3. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The story surveys the controversial issues of race and economic class in the 1930s Deep South via a court case of a black man charged with the rape and abuse of a young white girl. It’s a moving tale that delivers a profound message about fighting for justice and against prejudice.

4. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
A nightmarish vision of insane youth culture that depicts heart wrenching insight into the life of a disturbed adolescent. This novel will blow you away … leaving you breathless, livid, thrilled, and concerned.

5. For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
A short, powerful contemplation on death, ideology and the incredible brutality of war.

6. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
This masterpiece is so enormous even Tolstoy said it couldn’t be described as a standard novel. The storyline takes place in Russian society during the Napoleonic Era, following the characters of Andrei, Pierre and Natasha … and the tragic and unanticipated way in which their lives interconnect.

7. The Rights of Man by Tom Paine
Written during the era of the French Revolution, this book was one of the first to introduce the concept of human rights from the standpoint of democracy.


8. The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A famous quote from the book states that “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” This accurately summarizes the book’s prime position on the importance of individual human rights within society.

9. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
This novel does not have a plot in the conventional sense, but instead uses various narratives to portray a clear message about the general importance of remembering our cultural history.

10. The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
Few books have had as significant an impact on the way society views the natural world and the genesis of humankind.

11. The Wisdom of the Desert by Thomas Merton
A collection of thoughts, meditations and reflections that give insight into what life is like to live simply and purely, dedicated to a greater power than ourselves.

12. The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell looks at how a small idea, or product concept, can spread like a virus and spark global sociological changes. Specifically, he analyzes “the levels at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable.”

13. The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham
Arguably one of the best children’s books ever written; this short novel will help you appreciate the simple pleasures in life. It’s most notable for its playful mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie.

14. The Art of War by Sun Tzu
One of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It’s easily the most successful written work on the mechanics of general strategy and business tactics.

15. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
One of the greatest fictional stories ever told, and by far one of the most popular and influential written works in twentieth-century literature. Once you pick up the first book, you’ll read them all.

16. David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
This is a tale that lingers on the topic of attaining and maintaining a disciplined heart as it relates to one’s emotional and moral life. Dickens states that we must learn to go against “the first mistaken impulse of the undisciplined heart.”


17. Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot
Probably the wisest poetic prose of modern times. It was written during World War II, and is still entirely relevant today … here’s an excerpt: “The dove descending breaks the air/With flame of incandescent terror/Of which the tongues declare/The only discharge from sin and error/The only hope, or the despair/Lies in the choice of pyre or pyreâ€"/To be redeemed from fire by fire./Who then devised this torment?/Love/Love is the unfamiliar Name/Behind the hands that wave/The intolerable shirt of flame/Which human power cannot remove./We only live, only suspire/Consumed by either fire or fire.”

18. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
This book coined the self-titled term “catch-22” that is widely used in modern-day dialogue. As for the story, its message is clear: What’s commonly held to be good, may be bad … what is sensible, is nonsense. Its one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. Read it.

19. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Set in the Jazz Age of the roaring 20s, this book unravels a cautionary tale of the American dream. Specifically, the reader learns that a few good friends are far more important that a zillion acquaintances, and the drive created from the desire to have something is more valuable than actually having it.

20. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
This novel firmly stands as an icon for accurately representing the ups and downs of teen angst, defiance and rebellion. If nothing else, it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable teenage mindset.

21. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A smooth-flowing, captivating novel of a young man living in poverty who criminally succumbs to the desire for money, and the hefty psychological impact this has on him and the people closest to him.

22. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
This book does a great job at describing situations of power and statesmanship. From political and corporate power struggles to attaining advancement, influence, and authority over others, Machiavelli’s observations apply.

23. Walden by Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days writing this book in a secluded cabin near the banks of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. This is a story about being truly free from the pressures of society. The book can speak for itself: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”


24. The Republic by Plato
A gripping and enduring work of philosophy on how life should be lived, justice should be served, and leaders should lead. It also gives the reader a fundamental understanding of western political theory.

25. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
This is the kind of book that blows your mind wide open to conflicting feelings of life, love and corruption … and at times makes you deeply question your own perceptions of each. The story is as devious as it is beautiful.

26. Getting Things Done by David Allen
The quintessential guide to organizing your life and getting things done. Nuff said.

27. How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This is the granddaddy of all self-improvement books. It is a comprehensive, easy to read guide for winning people over to your way of thinking in both business and personal relationships.

28. Lord of the Flies by William Golding
A powerful and alarming look at the possibilities for savagery in a lawless environment, where compassionate human reasoning is replaced by anarchistic, animal instinct.

29. The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Steinbeck’s deeply touching tale about the survival of displaced families desperately searching for work in a nation stuck by depression will never cease to be relevant.

30. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
This anticommunist masterpiece is a multifaceted novel about the clash between good and evil. It dives head first into the topics of greed, corruption and deception as they relate to human nature.

31. BONUS: How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman
900 pages of simple instructions on how to cook everything you could ever dream of eating. Pretty much the greatest cookbook ever written. Get through a few recipes each week, and you’ll be a master chef by the time you’re thirty.

In aid of legislation sticks to factsâ€"you gather facts so you can address the sad facts and make things better. Engaging in dangerous speculation does nothing for the cause of fact-finding and meaningful legislating, as it is obviously the recourse of vendetta and malicious intent.

With all of this fixation towards Gloria, my colorful imagination is hijacked by meaningless what-ifs, in line with the Senate’s meaningless investigations. Here’s one: Trillanes might have had a big crush on Gloria but she turned him down, said no to his boy-next-door-turned-rebel good looks and still chose chubby-squeaky-voiced Mike, and here he is, cannot take the rejection. First, he took to the streets with a battalion of soldiers, now, years later and out of jail, he does everything in his power to make her pay.
Thin line between love and hate.  Whatcha think?

Bwahaha! As this speculation seems to indicate, there, too, is a thin line between somber reflections and frivolous musings.

In aid of humiliation, and the saga of Antonio and Gloria
POINTILLISMS By Mike Acebedo Lopez (The Freeman) Updated February 12, 2011 12:00 AM
http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=656715&publicationSubCategoryId=109


Again, it’s all about Gloria. Why am I not surprised. But the late Secretary Reyes jumped the gun (and used it too) on the investigations, even when Trillanes (and Jinggoy) were still en route to unraveling their premiseâ€"that all roads should lead to Gloria.

I am flabbergasted that we continue to allow a Trillanes, a man so trying hard, but always falling short, so feeling, but always lacking, to demonize and bastardize further an already demonized and bastardized Senate. A call to decency he has refused to respond to, and why should he? Can you even expect him to be decent and civilized at all? I don’t.

Let us not forget, this is a man who has cost us a lot by waging his failed mutiny. Surely, there is no comparison between the results of Gloria’s hard work for the economy (corruption allegations and patronage politics notwithstanding) and whatever it is his messianic mind believes he has done for the country. As far as I know, there was only damage done to the economy, our image, a disruption in our daily lives, nothing more, nothing less.

Perhaps he thinks of himself a hero. Ah, baloney! He is not a hero and judging from his actions in the Senate, he is light years away from being one. To me, he is the villain, a modern villain in the millennia-long fight between the decent and indecent, the honest and the fake, the real and the feeler.

In aid of legislation? How can our senators keep on fooling the public with this default justification when it is darn obvious that this is all being done in aid of humiliation? They have used the Senate (and the regular exposure they get on TV) as a platform for pogi points and to demolish their political enemies, never mind if it’s all in bad taste.

“Your honor, if I may,” “No, you may not!” Trillanes, quickly shuts General Reyes out. “….You have no reputation to protect!”

Ohâ€"myâ€"g***! Who, in the name of everything that is holy, does Trillanes think he is? Watching him berate someone, a private citizen and his former head at the AFP, just like that makes me want, for even a brief moment, to trade my longstanding wish for world peace with the opportunity to slap him silly.

In aid of legislation would’ve figured out the loopholes of the current AFP setup and correspondingly, recommend laws that would address them, all done in an intelligent and sober manner, where mutual respect is a prerequisite.  In aid of humiliation, on the other hand, is exactly what they’re doing in the Senate, led by the renegade ex-soldier with nothing else to offer but dishonorable character, disrespectful statements, and anti-Gloria platitudes.

And now, just a couple of days after Reyes’s suicide, he links Gloria to everything with “it is not far-fetched.” Makapamalikas kog taman sa ginhawa! A man has already taken his life, but Trillanes goes on and will stop at nothing just to drag Gloria into the mess, more so to name her mastermind (which is where this is all headed, if Trillanes and Jinggoy have their way). It is the height of irresponsibility to implicate people on mere speculation, especially after the twisted turn of events of the last week.

In aid of legislation sticks to factsâ€"you gather facts so you can address the sad facts and make things better. Engaging in dangerous speculation does nothing for the cause of fact-finding and meaningful legislating, as it is obviously the recourse of vendetta and malicious intent.

With all of this fixation towards Gloria, my colorful imagination is hijacked by meaningless what-ifs, in line with the Senate’s meaningless investigations.

An ex-convict from New Orleans lives in the next room. He's arranged his living quarters like a prison cell â€" neat and tidy and cold.

Manny Garcia, PCSO publicity and advertising manager, said the unclaimed prizes which represent 55 percent of the total sales of the online lotto games will be reverted to the charity fund of the agency.

“Unclaimed prizes revert and form part of the charity fund after one year,” he said.

He added that the unclaimed prizes would be a big help to pursue the PCSO’s vision and mission.

MANILA, Philippines - A total of P605,273,958.20 in unclaimed prizes for all online lotto games of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao draws has been forfeited after the one-year period to claim expired.

Manny Garcia, PCSO publicity and advertising manager, said the unclaimed prizes which represent 55 percent of the total sales of the online lotto games will be reverted to the charity fund of the agency.

“Unclaimed prizes revert and form part of the charity fund after one year,” he said.

He added that the unclaimed prizes would be a big help to pursue the PCSO’s vision and mission.

“Our mission is be a model government agency in carrying out its responsibility to provide medical and health services to the disadvantaged sectors of society through a professional workforce with integrity, competence, a deep sense of accountability and transparency in all its official transactions.” Garcia said.

He said the charity fund where the unclaimed prizes are placed is a trust and liability account and is used exclusively to finance and support health programs, medical assistance and services and/or charities of national character.

He said disbursements from the charity fund must not only be authorized by the PCSO Board of Directors but must also be approved by the Office of the President, regardless of the amount.

Garcia said the PCSO is also extending financial assistance and contributions to certain national programs created by various legislative enactments.

NEW ORLEANS â€" The dark blue rescue van pulls up in front of a sad shell of a house, a few blocks from the police station and criminal court. It's turning into a cold January night.

Slipping on gloves, social workers Mike Miller and Katy Quigley head in.

"Homeless outreach! Anybody home?" Miller shouts as he climbs over a balcony and up a flight of stairs.

No one's home. But the signs of life are disturbing: A slept-on mattress, bits of food, smells of urine and feces.

It's creepy: The upstairs apartment hasn't been touched since Hurricane Katrina. There's paperwork, letters, clothing, medicine bottles, a child's stuffed animal, a Star Wars X-Wing fighter plane on the carpeted stairs.

A business card they left on the fetid mattress during their last trip is gone. That's a good sign.

They move on.

At an abandoned 100-year-old factory, they find a few squatters. The factory has become a spot for day laborers working for temp services, restaurants, construction crews. The wages and tips, plus side tricks like collecting aluminum cans, aren't enough to get them into an apartment since rents skyrocketed after the storm.

Quigley pauses outside a room overlooking the factory floor. "On New Year's Day a guy was hit by a cab and killed on Claiborne and Gravier on his way to his temp job," she says. "He lived right here."

In a former workers' locker room, James Bragg, a 35-year-old out-of-work carny from Illinois, is buried under blankets with his girlfriend in the dark. His left eye doesn't blink; it's bruised and bloodshot from being hit with a pipe.

When the carnival season ended, he said, "We come down here with about $600." But he was robbed on Bourbon Street, and after they ate through savings living out of a hotel before they came across the factory in a downpour of rain a few months ago.

"It's better than sleeping on sidewalks," he says.

An ex-convict from New Orleans lives in the next room. He's arranged his living quarters like a prison cell â€" neat and tidy and cold. He's lined up hand sanitizer, hair lotion, a broken mirror to shave in, water jugs, stacked clothes â€" one stack for boxer shorts. A hole in the floor looks onto the ground floor, and he uses it as an outhouse.

The British Guardian newspaper cites Middle Eastern sources placing the wealth of Mubarak and his family at somewhere between $40 billion and $70 billion. That's a pretty good pension for government work. The world's richest man--Mexican business magnate Carlos Slim--is worth about $54 billion, by comparison. Bill Gates is close behind, with a net worth of about $53 billion.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/How-Hosni-Mubarak-Got-Filthy-usnews-3723955512.html?x=0


There are no Mubaraks on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, but there sure ought to be.

The mounting pressure from 18 days of historic protests finally drove Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak from office, after three decades as his nation's iron-fisted ruler. But over that time, Mubarak amassed a fortune that should finance a pretty comfortable retirement. The British Guardian newspaper cites Middle Eastern sources placing the wealth of Mubarak and his family at somewhere between $40 billion and $70 billion. That's a pretty good pension for government work. The world's richest man--Mexican business magnate Carlos Slim--is worth about $54 billion, by comparison. Bill Gates is close behind, with a net worth of about $53 billion.

Mubarak, of course, was a military man, not a businessman. But running a country with a suspended constitution for 30 years generates certain perks, and Mubarak was in a position to take a slice of virtually every significant business deal in the country, from development projects throughout the Nile basin to transit projects on the Suez Canal, which is a conduit for about 4 percent of the world's oil shipments. "There was no accountability, no need for transparency," says Prof. Amaney Jamal of Princeton University. "He was able to reach into the economic sphere and benefit from monopolies, bribery fees, red-tape fees, and nepotism. It was guaranteed profit."

Had the typical Egyptian enjoyed a morsel of that, Mubarak might still be in power. But Egypt, despite a cadre of well-educated young people, has struggled as an economic backwater. The nation's GDP per capita is just $6,200, according to the CIA--one-seventh what it is in the United States. That output ranks 136th in the world, even though Egypt ranks 16th in population. Mubarak had been working on a set of economic reforms, but they stalled during the global recession. The chronic lack of jobs and upward mobility was perhaps the biggest factor driving millions of enraged Egyptian youths into the streets, demanding change.

Estimates of Mubarak's wealth will probably be hard to verify, if not impossible (one reason dictators tend not to make it onto Forbes's annual list). His money is certainly not sitting in an Egyptian vault, waiting to be counted. And his delayed exit may have allowed Mubarak time to move money around and hide significant parts of his fortune. The Swiss government has said it is temporarily freezing any assets in Swiss banks that could be linked to Mubarak, an uncharacteristically aggressive move for the secretive banking nation. But that doesn't mean the money will ever be returned to the Egyptian people, and it may even find its way to Mubarak eventually. Other Mubarak funds are reportedly sitting in British banks, and Mubarak was no doubt wily enough to squire away some cash in unlikely places. Plus, an eventual exile deal could allow Mubarak to retain some of his wealth, no questions asked, as long as he and his family leave Egypt and make no further bids for power.

Epic skimming is a common privilege of Middle Eastern despots, and Mubarak and his two sons, Gamal and Alaa, were a bit less conspicuous than some of the Saudi princes and other Middle Eastern royals seen partying from time to time on the French Riviera or other hotspots. The family does reportedly own posh estates in London, New York, and Beverly Hills, plus a number of properties around the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El Sheikh, where Mubarak reportedly went after resigning the presidency.

Mubarak also spread the wealth far and wide in Egyptian power circles--another Middle Eastern tradition--one reason he incurred the kind of loyalty that allowed him to rule for a remarkable three decades. Top Army officials were almost certainly on his payroll, which might help explain why the Army eased him out in the end--allowing a kind of in-country exile--instead of hounding him out of Egypt or imprisoning him once it was clear the tide had turned against him for good.

That money trail, in fact, will help determine whether Egypt becomes a more prosperous, democratic country, or continues to muddle along as an economic basket case. Even though he's out of power, Mubarak may still be able to influence the Army officials running the country, through the financial connections that made them all wealthy. And if not Mubarak, the next leader may be poised to start lining his pockets the same way Mubarak did. For Egypt to have a more effective, transparent economy, all of that will have to be cleaned up. There are probably a lot of people in Cairo who have been checking their bank balances lately.

THE PHILIPPINES: Tragedy at Hibok-Hibok
Monday, Dec. 17, 1951  



http://www.skyscrapercity.com


To the tranquil elders on the tiny Philippine island of Camiguin (pronounced come-agin), volcanoes were both the machinery of God's providence and the crucible of His wrath.

Over the centuries, Camiguin's craters benevolently poured forth soil-enriching lava which made the island abundant beyond the asking. But in periodic moments of ire, the volcanoes visited havoc and death on the peopleâ€"always, said the elders, because God had been displeased by younger Camiguenos who grew lax in their churchgoing, forgetful of the feast days and neglectful of the sign of the cross. When his children did wrong, an elder would glance fearfully toward the horizon and mutter, "The volcano will get angry."

Grey Path. Twice in recent years, Camiguin's biggest active volcano, a many-cratered, 5,620-ft. monster named Hibok-Hibok (Visayan for hot and bubbling), had gotten angryâ€"once in 1948, again in 1950 when 68 islanders were killed. Always Hibok-Hibok gave warningâ€"two or three days of ominous huffing & puffing that gave Camiguenos time to retreat to safer reaches of the island, or even to take boats to Mindanao, seven miles to the south.

Early one morning last week, Hibok-Hibok got angry again. This time it gave no warning. With a quaking blast it heaved its sulphurous stomach, tossed red-hot boulders bigger than a man across the northeastern portion of Camiguin, sent up clouds of red-hot ash and deadly chlorine. A torrent of glowing molten lava rolled in all directions. Three and a half miles away in Mambajao (pop. 21,000), the island's capital and largest village, children on the way to school, women washing clothes, men on the way to their fields were buried in the rush of lava, burned to death by ashes or killed by gas.

From the scene, TIME Correspondent Carlos Weber cabled this report: "The air was filled with the stench of decaying bodies and sulphur. For miles and miles there was no sign of lifeâ€"just stony silence and the stripped, twisted forms of ash-grey men, women, children and dogs. In one corner of what used to be a hut, I saw 17 bodies huddled together in death. Two, about eight or nine years old, were hugging each other. About 100 yards away was a carabao, bathed in ash and dead, but still standing. As I left, a chicken crossed my path. Its right side was grey and seared, the other side untouched. It was the only living thing I saw there."

Rescue by Water. In the next four days Hibok-Hibok erupted four more times and threatened to devastate the entire 96-sq.-mi. island. To make matters worse, a typhoon raked the island, impeding rescue operations and killing dozens more. By week's end emergency crews from Manila, 450 miles to the north, and from Mindanao had recovered 266 bodies, estimated that 1,500 more were entombed in lava. The Philippine government used warships, fishing craft, even outrigger canoes to evacuate Camiguenos by the thousands from the island. But many of the elders, unshaken in their belief, refused to leave.

"The old people on this island are fanatics," exclaimed 24-year-old Lucino Balili, who was saying farewell to Camiguin. "This is not God's punishment. It is the work of the devil himself."

The Perfect Spouses: Hot Wife, Ugly Husband  
By Stefan Anitei

 
Men love hot women. Women love supportive men (read money) and Einstein would be disqualified for being too short. A new study published in the "Journal of Family Psychology" shows that the Beauty and the Beast make the most positive and supportive couple.

In the end, attractiveness has universal standards, like big eyes, fine facial traits and specific waist-hip ratios in men and women. Previous researches had revealed that individuals with similar looks are attracted to each other and are higher
satisfied by their relationship.

"These studies, however, are mainly based on new couples, showing that absolute beauty is important in the earliest stages of couplehood. But the role of physical attractiveness in well-established partnerships, such as marriage, is somewhat of a mystery," said lead researcher James McNulty of the University of Tennessee.

The importance of looks gets a different twist beyond that initial attraction. The study was made on 82 couples who had married within the previous six months and had started their relationship about three years before. The subjects were on average aged 21-25. The team videotaped as each spouse discussed a personal issue with the partner for 10 minutes.

The researchers then assessed how supportive the spouses were one to another in subjects like eating healthier, landing a new job and exercising more often.

"A negative husband would've said, 'This is your problem, you deal with it,' versus 'Hey, I'm here for you; what do you want me to do?; how can I help you?'" said McNulty.

The facial attractiveness of each partner was rated on a scale from 1 to 10. In about 30% of the cases, the wife was more attractive, in 30% the husband was more attractive and the rest of the couples were made of partners with similar facial attractiveness levels. The results showed that both spouses behaved more positively when the woman was more attractive than the husband.

"Men are very sensitive to women's attractiveness. Women seem to be sensitive to men's height and salary," said Dan Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at MIT's Program in Media Arts and Sciences and Sloan School of Management.

When the husband was more attractive, both partners behaved less supportively with one another.

"Wives mirror, in some ways, the level of support they get from husbands. The husband who's less physically attractive than his wife is getting something more than maybe he can expect to get. He's getting something better than he's providing at that level. So he's going to work hard to maintain that relationship," McNulty told LiveScience.

"Men who are more attractive than their partners would theoretically have access to partners who are more attractive than their current spouses. The 'grass could be greener' mentality could make these men less satisfied and less committed to maintain the marriage," he added.

This explains why the uglies remain with the hot babes. "Equitable is unlikely to mean the same on every dimension. It just means that overall two people make sense together," said Ariely.

Ultimately, the question is whether or not self-immolation is honorable, for whatever reason. Anyhow, the issue being more cultural than philosophical, it would appear that Reyes's suicide was more dishonorable than otherwise. I have always argued (disagreeing with a good number of top honchos) that the iconic suicide of Admiral Boorda was dishonorable; with more at stake, the case at bar is even more so.

Distractions at work are a part of a worker's life and he should learn to accept that. He should develop the right skills of how to successfully deal with distractions like adaptability, flexibility and the ability to adjust in any given situation for his own good or he can go insane everyday of his life.

1 Darwin’s Black Box
Michael Behe, 1996





On the list because: It fuels fundamentalist attacks on Science

By arguing against aspects of Darwin’s theories, this book has given fuel to the fundamentalists who argue that a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis is the only possible manner in which the earth was created. Despite much refutation from the Scientific community, many fundamentalists still use this as a “source” for proof that evolution is not true. The book itself was not peer reviewed as Behe claimed under oath, and the Science community has overwhelming rejected it. It should be noted that Behe himself is not a fundamentalist and does not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible.
