A 50-metre, tidally flushed pool at South Curl Curl Beach. Close to Stewart House on Carrington Parade. Home to a range of clubs. This rock pool offers a 50-metre pool and a shallower section largely formed by rock. This pool is a popular subject for photographers.
Carrington Parade, South Curl Curl, NSW, 2096, Australia
Warringah Shire was formed.
South Curl Curl acquired a new influx of weekend visitors and the rock pool at the southern end of the beach was a popular bathing place.
The Curl Curl Improvement Association requested that Warringah Council's engineer inspect the proposed site for a rock pool.
The surf club was active in the enlargement of the rock pool to provide safer bathing. A public meeting about constructing baths led to the Curl Curl Improvement Association and South Curl Curl Life Saving Club forming a South Curl Curl Bath Committee to pressure council to enlarge the pool 'for the children' with the club raising funds for its completion via carnivals and social events at the clubhouse. A beauty pageant run by the swimming club helped to raise funds for the pool's construction.
Warringah Shire Council completed construction of the South Curl Curl baths. The outer wall of this original rock pool is now the centre wall of the present pool.
The baths were formally opened.
After the surf club advised it would take no further responsibility for the control of the rock baths, a Council overseer took on this role.
South Curl Curl rock pool attracted crowds of bathers on hot summer days.
Swimming at the rock pool was part of the holiday experience of the first children accommodated at Stewart House, a facility created to provide seaside holiday accommodation for New South Wales schoolchildren 'from western suburbs and beyond'.
Photographs by commercial photographer Sam Hood show country children staying at Stewart House learning to swim at the South Curl Curl Pool. Olympic swimmer Harold Hardwick was one of the instructors.
Proposals were put forward for the enlargement of the rock pool.
A wall was constructed at the rock pool, creating two pools. The outer wall of the original rock pool is the centre wall of the present pool.
Toilets and a change-room were added to the pool facilities.
The Curl Curl Amateur Swimming Club formed following a meeting convened by South Curl Curl surf club. As the NSW Amateur Swimming Association did not then permit any of its affiliated clubs to have male and female members, the swimming club was officially divided into men's and women's sections. The surf club assisted the swimming club financially, and allowed to use the surf club for meetings, social functions and equipment storage.
The men's and women's Amateur Swimming Clubs united to form one club and the pool was shortened to accommodate Olympic standard 50-metre races. This created a pool complex consisting of a 'stilling basin', a main pool (50 metres by 12 metres) and a wading pool (25 metres by 15 metres).
Warringah Shire built the first clubhouse for the Amateur Swimming Club.
There were swimming competitions between the Amateur Swimming Club and the surf club.
Stewart House opened a secondary school and senior dormitory in 1977.
The Harbord Frigid Frogs winter swimming club began to use the clubhouse building.
A deck was added onto the clubhouse building to increase space available for the Frigid Frogs Club, which operates all year round.
The children's pool was partly concreted, entry ramps were installed and pool walls repaired.
Warringah Council began monitoring water quality in this pool and its other five rock pools.
The pool catered for a range of activities and for patrons of all ages and abilities. The carpark behind the beach which joins the surf club with the swimming club building and rock pool provided several disabled parking places for direct access to the pool. The elderly retired locals who habitually sunned themselves at the base of the concourse wall were affectionately known as 'the walruses'. Several high schools used the pool during weekdays in the swimming season. The wading pool was not only popular with children, it was also used as access to the surrounding rock shelf. Some locals expressed concerns about the pool being used for scuba lessons.
At the 26th national winter swimming championships, the Frigid Frogs were again the strongest winter swimming club in Australia, finishing 71 points ahead of the Cronulla Polar Bears and the Maroubra Seals.
Pollution monitoring indicated that South Curl Curl was an almost flawlessly clean beach.
On a day of gale-force winds, the police helicopter and two rescue service helicopters searched the seas after a pair of men were reported to have been pulled out to sea in heavy swells off South Curl Curl beach. It was not clear whether the men had been in the ocean pool or swimming near it when the undertow took hold of them. The search for the two men proved unsuccessful and was abandoned.

Notice of Additional Conditions on the No-Action Relief When
Foreign Boards of Trade That Have Received Staff No-Action Relief To
Permit Direct Access to Their Automated Trading Systems From Locations
in the United States List for Trading From the U.S. Linked Futures and
Option Contracts and a Revision of Commission Policy Regarding the
Listing of Certain New Option Contracts
AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) is
providing notice requiring foreign boards of trade that may receive
Commission staff no-action relief permitting them to make their
automated trading systems directly available from the U.S. to comply
with additional conditions for the no-action relief to remain effective
if they list for trading from the U.S. contracts that are linked to
contracts traded on certain U.S.-based entities. Separately, the
Commission is providing notice that it is revising its policy regarding
the notification procedures applicable to listing an option on a
futures contract that already is (or can be) listed for trading from
DATES: Effective Date: The conditions and notification procedures are
effective immediately.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Duane C. Andresen, Senior Special
Counsel, Division of Market Oversight, Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, Three Lafayette Center, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington,
DC 20581. Telephone: 202-418-5492. E-mail: [email protected]
Since 1996,\1\ Commission staff has issued no-action letters \2\ to
foreign boards of trade (FBOT) stating that, subject to compliance with
certain conditions, the staff will not recommend that the Commission
take enforcement action against the FBOT or its members if the FBOT
permits its members or participants in the United States to have direct
access \3\ to its electronic trading system without seeking designation
under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA or Act) as a contract market
(DCM) or registration as a derivatives transaction execution facility
(DTEF).\4\ On June 2, 1999, the Commission issued an order which, among
other things, withdrew proposed rules that would have governed
automated access to FBOTs from the U.S. and instructed the Commission
staff to begin immediately processing no-action requests from FBOTs
seeking to place trading terminals in the U.S., and to issue responses
where appropriate, pursuant to the general guidelines included in the
Eurex (DTB) no-action process, or other guidelines established by the
Commission.\5\ On October 22, 2006, the Commission issued a Statement
of Policy that affirmed the use of the no-action process to permit
FBOTs to provide direct access to their electronic trading systems to
U.S. members or authorized participants.\6\
\1\ In February 1996, Commission staff issued no-action relief
to Deutsche Terminborse (DTB), an automated international futures
and options exchange headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, that
permitted DTB, subject to certain terms and conditions, to place
computer terminals in the U.S. offices of its members for principal
trading. See CFTC Interpretative Letter No. 96-28 (1996-1997
Transfer Binder) Comm. Fut. L. Rep. (CCH) para. 26,669 (Feb. 29.
1996). In June 1998, DTB merged with the Swiss Options and Financial
Futures Exchange and DTB changed its name to Eurex Deutschland.
\2\ See Commission Rule 140.99, 17 CFR 140.99 (2006), which
defines the term ``no-action letter'' as a written statement issued
by the staff of a Division of the Commission or of the Office of
General Counsel that it will not recommend enforcement action to the
Commission for failure to comply with a specific provision of the
Act or of a Commission rule, regulation or order if a proposed
transaction is completed or a proposed activity is conducted by the
beneficiary.
\3\ Direct access means that the member in the U.S. may enter an
order directly into the trade matching engine to be matched
according to the trade matching algorithm. Direct access is
different from an automated order routing system (AORS) in that an
order transmitted via AORS is intermediated in that it is entered
into the trade matching engine by or through the intermediary, i.e.,
the intermediary, not the member in the U.S., has direct access.
\4\ The no-action letters issued to FBOTs, formerly referred to
as ``foreign terminal no-action letters,'' are currently referred to
as ``direct access no-action letters'' and are published on the
Commission's Web site at: http://www.cftc.gov/dea/
deaforeignterminaltable.htm. Hereinafter the letters are simply
referred to as ``no-action letters.'' Reference to DTEFs in the no-
action letters was added following the establishment of that
registration category by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of
\5\ Access to Automated Boards of Trade, 64 FR 32829 (June 18,
\6\ Boards of Trade Located Outside of the United States and No-
Action Relief from the Requirement to Become a Designated Contract
Market or Derivatives Transaction Execution Facility, 71 FR 64443
(November 2, 2006).
Commission staff has issued 21 no-action letters since the DTB
letter, all of which grant the no-action relief requested subject to a
series of terms and conditions. The terms and conditions, among other
things, assure the Division (1) That the FBOT continues to be a bona
fide FBOT subject to effective regulation in its home country; (2) that
direct access is restricted to authorized entities; (3) that the
Division receives notice of any material changes in the information
provided to it in support of the no-action request including, without
limitation, any modification of the FBOT's membership criteria, the
location of its management, personnel or operations, the basic
structure, nature, or operation of the trading system, or the
regulatory or self-regulatory structure applicable to its members; and
(4) that satisfactory information-sharing arrangements between the
Commission, the FBOT, and the FBOT's relevant regulatory authorities
will remain in effect.
With respect to the listing of new contracts, initially FBOTs that
received no-action relief that wished to list additional futures and
option contracts for trading by direct access from the U.S. were
required to request in writing and receive supplemental no-action
relief from Commission staff prior to listing the new contracts. On
June 30, 2000, the Commission issued a Statement of Policy that
permitted FBOTs with no-action relief to list additional futures and
option contracts for trading from the U.S. merely by filing with
Commission staff no later
than the business day preceding the initial listing of the contracts:
(1) A copy of the initial terms and conditions of the additional
contracts and (2) a certification that it is in compliance with the
terms and conditions of its no-action letter and that the additional
futures and option contracts would be traded in accordance with such
terms and conditions.\7\ On April 14, 2006, in light of its experience
since the issuance of the Statement of Policy and in recognition of the
fact that the listing of new products may raise previously unidentified
regulatory issues, the Commission issued a revision to the new contract
listing policy (Notice of Revision).\8\ The Commission determined to
establish a ten business day advance notification requirement in order
to give Commission staff the opportunity to review the terms and
conditions of proposed additional contracts to address any regulatory
issues raised prior to the contract being made available for trading by
direct access from the U.S.
\7\ See Statement of Policy of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission Regarding the Listing of New Futures and Option Contracts
by Foreign Boards of Trade That Have Received Staff No-Action Relief
to Place Electronic Trading Devices in the U.S., 65 FR 41641 (July
6, 2000). The Statement of Policy did not apply to broad-based stock
index futures and option contracts that are now covered by Section
2(a)(1)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Foreign boards of trade
were (and presently are) required to seek and receive written
supplemental no-action relief from Commission staff prior to
offering or selling such contracts.
\8\ See Notice of Revision of Commission Policy Regarding the
Listing of New Futures and Option Contracts by Foreign Boards of
Trade That Have Received Staff No-Action Relief To Provide Direct
Access to Their Automated Trading Systems from Locations in the
United States, 71 FR 19877 (April 18, 2006). The notice of revision
did not alter a FBOT's obligation to seek and receive written
offering or selling broad-based stock index futures and option
contracts. The FBOT is still required to file with Commission staff
a copy of the initial terms and conditions of the additional
contracts and a certification that it is in compliance with the
II. Additional Conditions on the No-Action Relief
On January 17, 2006, ICE Futures Europe \9\ notified the Division
pursuant to the Statement of Policy of its intent to list for direct
access from the U.S. a West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Light Sweet Crude
Oil Futures Contract that cash-settled on the price of a physically-
settled Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures contract traded on the New York
Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), a U.S. DCM. On April 12, 2006, ICE Futures
Europe notified the Division of its intent to list for direct access
from the U.S. the ICE Futures New York Harbour Heating Oil Futures
Contract and the ICE Futures New York Harbour Unleaded Gasoline
Blendstock (RBOB) Futures Contract, each of which cash-settled on the
price of physically-settled contracts traded on the NYMEX. On April 2,
2007, ICE Futures Europe notified the Division of its intent to launch
the ICE Futures WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil Options Contract. On December
19, 2007 the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) \10\ notified the Division
pursuant to the Notice of Revision of its intent to list for trading
for direct access from the U.S. on DME Direct the DME WTI Crude Oil
Financial Futures Contract which cash-settled based on the NYMEX Light,
Sweet Crude Oil futures settlement price on the penultimate trading
\9\ On November 12, 1999, the Division of Trading and Markets
granted to the International Petroleum Exchange of London (IPE) (now
ICE Futures Europe) no-action relief to make its electronic trading
and order matching system, Energy Trading System II (ETS), available
to IPE members in the United States. CFTC Staff Letter No. 99-69
(November 12, 1999). The November 12, 1999 IPE no-action letter was
amended by the Division of Market Oversight (Division) four times
between July 26, 2002 and April 14, 2003 as trading of the contracts
was transitioned from the ETS to the ICE Platform operated by
IntercontinentalExchange, Inc., in Atlanta, Georgia and trading
hours were extended.
\10\ On May 24, 2007, the Division granted to the DME no-action
relief to make its electronic trading and order matching system,
known as DME Direct, available to DME members in the U.S. CFTC Staff
Letter No. 07-06 (May 24, 2007).
The listing for trading by direct access from the U.S. by ICE
Futures Europe and DME of contracts which settle on the price of
contracts traded on a CFTC-regulated exchange raises very serious
concerns for the Commission. Such linkages can create virtually a
single market for the subject contracts consisting of both the
underlying contract at the CFTC-regulated exchange and the cash-settled
``look-alike'' contract traded on the FBOT. In the absence of certain
preventive measures at the FBOT, this contract linkage could compromise
the Commission's ability to carry out its market surveillance
responsibilities, as well as the integrity of prices established on
CFTC-regulated exchanges.
In response to these concerns, the Division amended the no-action
relief granted to ICE Futures Europe and DME, in letters dated June 17,
2008 and July 3, 2008 respectively,\11\ by adding certain conditions
\12\ with respect to any ICE Futures Europe or DME contract which
settles against any price, including the daily or final settlement
price, of (1) a contract listed for trading on a DCM or DTEF, or (2) a
contract listed for trading on an exempt commercial market (ECM) that
has been determined to be a significant price discovery contract \13\
(collectively, linked contracts).\14\ The purpose of the conditions is
to ensure that ICE Futures Europe and DME apply to any linked contract
comparable principles or requirements regarding the daily publication
of trading information and the imposition of position limits or
accountability levels for speculators as apply to the DCM, DTEF or ECM
contract against which the linked contract settles. The conditions
would also ensure that ICE Futures Europe and DME provide the
Commission with information regarding the extent of speculative and
nonspeculative trading in linked contracts that is comparable to the
information provided to the Commission by DCMs, DTEFs or ECMs for
publication of the Commitments of Traders Reports.
\11\ CFTC Staff Letter No. 08-09 (June 17, 2008); CFTC Staff
Letter No. 08-10 (July 3, 2008).
\12\ The no-action letters include a provision pursuant to which
the Division may further condition the relief granted therein. See,
e.g., CFTC Staff Letter No. 99-69 (November 12, 1999), issued to the
International Petroleum Exchange, Inc., which states as follows:
``As with all no-action letters, the Division retains the authority
to condition further, modify, suspend, terminate, or otherwise
restrict the terms of the no-action relief provided herein, in its
discretion.''
\13\ In 2008 Congress authorized the Commission to determine, in
its discretion, that a contract performs a significant price
discovery function under criteria established in Section 2(h)(7) of
the CEA, including price linkage, arbitrage, material price
reference, and material liquidity. When the Commission by order
makes such a determination, the ECM on which the significant price
discovery contract is traded must assume, with respect to that
contract, all the responsibilities and obligations of a registered
entity under the CEA and Commission regulations, and must comply
with nine core principles established by Section 2(h)(7)(C). See
CFTC Reauthorization Act of 2008, Pub. L. 110-246 at sec. 12304. See
also Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: ``Significant Price Discovery
Contracts on Exempt Commercial Markets,'' 73 FR 75888 (December 12,
\14\ ICE Futures Europe has listed for trading by direct access
from the U.S. the four linked contracts previously identified. DME
has not listed the one linked contract notified to the Division.
Accordingly, the ICE Futures Europe and DME no-action letters were
amended with respect to the linked contracts to include the following
conditions, to be satisfied within 120 days of the date of the amended
no-action letter:
(1) ICE Futures Europe (DME) will impose on linked contracts, by
rule or otherwise, position limits or position accountability levels
(including related hedge exemption provisions) that are comparable to
the existing position limits or position accountability levels
(including related hedge exemption provisions) as adopted by: (i) The
DCM, DTEF or ECM for the contract against which the linked contract
settles or (ii) the DCM, DTEF or ECM for a
financially-settled equivalent of such contract;
(2) ICE Futures Europe (DME) will inform the Commission in a
quarterly report of any trader that had positions in a linked contract
above the applicable ICE Futures Europe (DME) position limit, whether a
hedge exemption was granted, and if not, whether a disciplinary action
was taken;
(3) ICE Futures Europe (DME) will publish daily trading information
(e.g., settlement prices, volume, open interest, and opening and
closing ranges) that is comparable to the daily trading information
published by the DCM, DTEF or ECM for the contract against which the
ICE Futures Europe (DME) contract settles; and
(4) ICE Futures Europe (DME) will provide to the CFTC (through the
Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the case of ICE Futures Europe),
a daily report of large trader positions in each linked contract for
all contract months in a form and manner that (a) can be fully
integrated into the CFTC's market surveillance systems, including full
identification of each position's beneficial owner comparable to the
reporting that is provided by the DCM, DTEF, or ECM; and (b) can,
(subject to any Memorandum of Understanding between the CFTC and FSA in
the case of ICE Futures Europe), be fully integrated into the CFTC's
Commitments of Traders Report, including appropriate categorization of
traders and their positions.
The Commission is hereby providing notice that these conditions
henceforth will be imposed on the no-action relief of any FBOT that
lists for trading by direct access from the U.S. any futures or option
contract which settles against any price, including the daily or final
settlement price, of (1) a contract listed for trading on a DCM or
DTEF, or (2) a contract listed for trading on an ECM that has been
determined to be a significant price discovery contract.
III. Listing Option Contracts
Both the Statement of Policy and the Notice of Revision required
separate notification for futures and option contracts in order to
permit the contracts to be listed for direct access from the U.S. Thus,
even if the futures contract is currently listed, the FBOT must
separately notify the Division, pursuant to the ten business day
advance notification requirement of the Notice of Revision, of its
desire to list the option on that futures contract. In contrast, when
the Commission's Office of General Counsel (OGC) issues a no-action
letter to allow the offer or sale of a FBOT-traded broad-based security
index futures contract to persons located in the U.S., the option on
that particular futures contract may also be offered or sold in the
U.S. without any further regulatory action from OGC. This leads to an
unusual situation when the FBOT, pursuant to Appendix D of Part 30,\15\
requests permission to list a futures contract for trading by direct
access from the U.S. in the same no-action request letter in which the
FBOT requests the OGC no-action position. When OGC issues the no-action
letter, both the futures contract and the option on that contract may
be offered or sold in the U.S. and, with the concurrence of the
Division, the futures contract (but not the option on that futures
contract) may be listed for direct access from the U.S. pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the direct access no-action relief. The FBOT
must then separately request permission from the Division to make the
option contract available by direct access.
\15\ 17 CFR 30, App. D. (2003), 68 FR 33623.
In order to eliminate this inconsistency and to streamline the
procedures for listing option contracts for direct access from the
U.S., the Commission is hereby providing notice that the provisions in
the Notice of Revision, insofar as they apply to options on futures
contracts that are, or could be,\16\ listed for trading by direct
access from the U.S. pursuant to the conditions of the FBOT's no-action
relief, are revised as follows:
\16\ This procedure also applies where the FBOT has permission
to list the futures contract for trading by direct access but has
not yet done so at the time it also decides to list the option
(1) If the option is on a broad-based security index futures
contract which may be offered or sold in the U.S. and listed for direct
access from the U.S. pursuant to a no-action letter issued by OGC, the
option contract may be listed for direct access without further action
by either the requesting FBOT or the Division.
(2) If the option is on a futures contract that is neither a linked
contract nor a broad-based security index futures contract which may be
offered or sold in the U.S., the option contract may be listed for

Cyntoia Brown Update: Parole board torn over whether woman sex trafficked as a teen should get clemency for murder
by Leigh Egan
A Tennessee parole board was divided on Wednesday after hearing an emotional three-hour testimony regarding clemency for Cyntoia Brown, a woman serving a life sentence for murder after she killed a "john" she was set up with for sex at age 16.
The Tennessean reports that the six-panel parole board split three ways after hearing Brown's case, with two people recommending clemency, two others voting to deny clemency, and the last two voting to allow Brown parole after serving 51 years of her life sentence.
"There are people here today and they are hurting 14 years later and I did that and I can't fix that. I can't fix that," Brown said, while apologizing to the loved ones of the victim on Wednesday. "I am a changed person because I had no choice but to be. If I were to get out today, it would still be the same. There would still be something I've done that I can't undo."
The final decision on whether Brown is granted clemency lies in the hand of Governor Bill Haslam. So far, Haslam hasn't granted anyone clemency during his two terms as governor.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Brown filed an appeal for a murder conviction after she killed Johnny Mitchell Allen, 43, in 2004. Allen was reportedly also a "john" who took Brown to his house after her abusive pimp boyfriend set her up for sex trafficking. Brown claimed Allen was being abusive and scared for her life, she picked up his gun and shot him to death.

Brown previously stated that her early childhood was filled with abuse and watching adults partake in drugs. She was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and her mother, Georgina Mitchell, allegedly began using crack cocaine when Brown was around eight months old, according to a 2011 documentary about Brown, entitled "Me Facing Life: Cyntoia's Story."
When Brown was a toddler, Mitchell gave her up for adoption to a woman named Ellenette Brown. While Ellenette Brown provided a more stable home than her mother did, Brown never developed the stability she needed in her life, according to the documentary, and as a teen, ran away from home.
Brown made her way to Nashville, where an alleged pimp by the name of "Kutthroat" or "Cut-throat" quickly figured out that she was a runaway and on her own. He recruited her in with false promises of a better life, but eventually began calling her a "who**" and demeaning. He later allegedly raped her, molested her, and trafficked her for sex. The forced prostitution eventually landed her at Allen's home after she met him at a Sonic fast food restaurant.
"He [Kutthroat] would explain to me that some people were born who***, and that I was one, and I was a slut, and nobody'd want me but him, and the best thing I could do was just learn to be a good who**," Brown said to a judge a during a previous 2012 appeal hearing.
Brown said she met Allen on August 5, 2004, and right away had an uneasy feeling about him. She said Allen kept "standing over her," and later, while they were both in bed, she saw him reach over for what she thought was a gun. Brown said she shot Allen, a former sharp shooter in the U.S. Army, in the head, after fearing for her life.
She took his two guns and his money before she fled his home. Brown ended up at a local Walmart, where she made an anonymous call to police and told them Allen had been shot. Prosecutors alleged her motive was robbery, and subsequently, she was sentenced to life in prison.
"Me Facing Life: The Cyntoia Brown Story" helped Brown gain national attention, but it wasn't enough to sway a judge to grant her appeal. She's earned a college degree while behind bars and is considered a model prisoner, but as of now, she remains at the Tennessee Prison for Women in Nashville with parole eligibility at age 69.
"[Cyntoia] was a victim of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. She was on the tail end of three generations of women being abused. Her birth mother had been raped and Cyntoia was born from that rape," filmmaker Dan Birman, who made the documentary, told FOX News.
Celebrities including Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, Kim Kardashian, and LeBron James have all showed their support for Brown, typically on social media, where they demanded "justice" and answers.
The story continues to develop. Check back with CrimeOnline for additional updates.

OTTAWA – A senior Environment Canada scientist whose job may be eliminated through budget cuts has highlighted the importance of maintaining the country's world-leading atmospheric monitoring network after new research showed a record hole in the planet's ozone layer above the Arctic.
David Tarasick was among four Canadian authors of the international study, published Oct. 2 in the British scientific journal Nature, that reported on the hole – twice the size of Ontario – in the ozone layer that protects life on Earth from the sun's harmful radiation.
Until now, the Conservative government, facing criticism about its decision to review resources in the monitoring network, has prevented Tarasick from speaking publicly about the research.


As play ends on the first day of the 2013 European Nations Cup, Team Ireland has the provisional lead at the halfway stage, clocking up an impressive score of 972 points tonight.
Traditionally at this stage of a major poker tournament players would be bagging up chips ahead of their return tomorrow. Here things are a little different. When the teams return tomorrow everything will look exactly the same as before. However, Ireland, and the teams closest to them, will walk back into the tournament ball room with things feeling a little more serious – with a place at the Grand Final just hours away.
In short Ireland's performance today was nothing short of outstanding. Counted among the favourites as play began, Ireland, a team made up of big names such as Dermot Blain, Eoghan O'Dea and Dara O'Kearney, got to work with gusto, their captain Padraig Parkinson looking on from a convenient seat alongside Jesse May in the commentary booth.
At the early check points they were perched some way down the scoreboard in 11th place, before an end of session surge moved them into sixth place at the break. But it was in Session 2 where they came to life, scoring 572 points. Their standings at various points showed a team working well: "fifth, third, second, fourth, first." There is still plenty of play left, but there may be no stopping them.
That's among the many factors that will be analysed in the coming hours and days. So too will be the current plight of Team Holland under the leadership of Rolf Slotboom.
Actually it's hard to find a weak spot in the Dutch team, but as the scoreboard suggests something is not working, something that Slotboom and the entire Dutch team will be thinking about tonight.
For others there were good days and bad. The second session wasn't earth moving for all teams — six of which held the same place they'd had at the half way stage – but others struggled to keep up their momentum. Serbia dropped four places in the second half of the day, down to sixth. Spain moved up three, as did Russia, who had a terrible start but seemed to rally late on. Hosts Cyprus had hoped to soar and had been as high as fourth this afternoon before they slumped to 13th place.
At times today it felt like there was more to talk about off the table than on it, with so much technology and the possibilities associated with it being too tempting not to discuss. But there was still time to catch sight of hands that will be the talking points in the coming days. Jasper Hougaard's straight against Andrey Pateychuk's flush for instance. Poring over that will be one of the resulting pleasures of the ENC.
Jesse May's enthusiasm in the commentary booth was well-placed. The "Voice of Poker" even coined new terminology. Get used to the notion of "a 14-pointer," a useful definition of a hand likely to score maximum points for one particular player, a potential game changer for their team.
Tomorrow we start again at 10am, with the live stream showing everything "as live" from 12 noon onwards. The two sessions of play will determine which six teams will advance to the grand final later this year.
We hope to have detailed statistics of Day 1, together with a highlight reel of the day. As I write technicians are pouring over the machinery to empty them of all relevant statistics, and possible a few that aren't relevant at all. We'll post those on this page as soon as we get them, so check back here for more details.
In the meantime it's time to look ahead to tomorrow. It should prove essential viewing. See you then.
Play ends after the second session with Ireland in provisional lead on 972 points. Officials are now double checking all the scores, which will be coming up shortly, along with a full recap of the day's play.
7.45pm: The hands tick by and with them the energy levels of the players. The tournament room itself, a glittering ballroom befitting an event that demands attention, is heating up after the air conditioning, previously capable of freezing burning coal, was shut off.
It makes for a dozy environment, with several players showing signs of fatigue, something that could prove disastrous where points are concerned. A bad decision now could ruin hours of hard work over more than 100 hands. Nobody wants to be the one to let down their teammates.
Cesar Garcia of Spain is among those struggling. He rests his head on the table between hands, arms wrapped around his neck, trying to catch what can only be 25 second power naps. Is that possible? He seems to think so.
When he plays a hand he does the opposite. Rather than leaning forward he leans back, looking at the phone in his hand to see his cards as if they're stencilled on the ceiling. Then he falls forward again to either play or fold.
Everyone looks tired on table one, with heads resting on hands, while on the opposite side of the room Dutch pro Rob Hollink balances his forehead on the table edge, jolting upright as if hoping nobody had noticed. There's certainly less noise in the room now, perfect for a few minutes shut eye.
Ironically one player not falling asleep is the one known to play high stakes poker in what appears to be a permanent state of exhaustion.
Ivan Demidov, who famously finished second to Peter Eastgate in the World Series of Poker main event in 2009, is alert and sharp as his table plays on. Team Russia is on the rise from their former position in the doldrums. This new look Demidov could be partly responsible.
The Russian is one of the big hitters at this year's European Nations Cup and is the highest earning player of all those competing this weekend. Earlier today he talked to Felicia Field at the half way stage.
Who's up, who's down, who stays the same?
6.55pm: Looking through the latest standings and it is Team Ireland in the ascendant, led by Padraig Parkinson, who currently offers his expert insight from the commentary booth. They move into second place, up four spots having scored 281.5 points since the last count, the third best total. Lithuania is also up four places, into third place.
The best total belonged to Russia, who started rock bottom in 14th place but scored 307.5 points, moving up three places to 11th.
The Netherlands continue to struggle, being slightly more than 100 points off of sixth place. They are the new occupants of 14th place and in need or some major inspiration when play ends later tonight. Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the underdog teams, doggedly hold on to a top six spot while neighbours Serbia slide down the standings.
As viewers watching the live stream will notice there are a new cast of players out in the sunshine, including three of the stand out players in this year's European Nations Cup.
In seat three is Andrey Pateychuk. The Russian is one of the most exciting players on the tournament scene of late. In 2011 he won EPT Sanremo in impressive style, actually denying English captain Barny Boatman a first EPT title (Boatman went on to finish sixth).
Then a month later he did it again, winning a World Poker Tour event in Prague and cementing his name among the players of the year. Needless to say he also cleans up online, although right now his opposition is tough, with Jasper Hougaard from Denmark, and next to him Irishman Dermot Blain.
It's a mouth-watering line-up well worth the attention of the cameras and all of which can be see on the live stream.
Anyone already watching will have just seen the type of hand perfect for this type of event that encourages analysis in great depth back in the club house.
Pateychuk found ace-jack of clubs while Hougaard got creative with jack-ten of hearts. The ace-high flop put Pateychuk way ahead. Hougaard might not have liked the flop too much but banked on showing strength and continued to raise on the turn, an eight. Pateychuk, still strong called and watched a queen hit the river.
The queen made Hougaard a straight, but crucially it was the queen of clubs, giving Pateychuk the nut flush. Remarkably Hougaard didn't lose the lot, but it was still a significant chunk, and it will be fun to see how other players in the same spot played the jack-ten.
The Dutch and Lithuanian teams enjoy lunch in formation.
5.05pm: Of the many scenes you'll find at the poker tournament they're not normally as colorful as those seen during lunch, between sessions at the Annabelle Hotel. It's not every day that poker players look like a field of tulips. Here the Dutch and Lithuania teams take a break.
Coming up when play restarts shortly will be another session of 66 hands with the seat draw being identical to that of session one earlier this afternoon.
To recap the event is played in Match Poker, using a cumulative scoring system which rates each player's performance in a hand, compares that to all the other teams and then awards points, 14 through to one, depending on position. For a more detailed analysis of that check out the scoring page on the Pokerfed.org website, while you can catch up on the events of Session one from earlier this afternoon by clicking here.
Coming up is another session of play lasting approximately three hours. The scores will continue to be tallied to those from the previous session. So far France lead Serbia by 40 points, while the United Kingdom trails Serbia in third by a single point.
By the close of play we should get an idea of who the teams will be challenging for a spot in the Grand Final. Can France extend their lead? Can Russia, the highest earning side when combined, find their way out of the basement?
And don't forget you can follow all the action yourself on our live stream, featuring Jesse May in the commentary box.

Reactis® V2017 is now available for download. The new version includes support for MATLAB® R2017a, an ability to generate signal plots in HTML test execution reports, a facility to check that the values assigned to test points conform to a given constraint (e.g. a range), a number of scope enhancements (improved zooming, scrolling, and export to PNG), as well as a number of other new features and stability improvements.
When you select the Fast Run With Report entry of the Simulate menu in Reactis Simulator, Reactis generates an HTML report describing the results of executing your model on a given test suite. Prior to V2017, the report included details of any errors encountered during test execution, a description of any difference between the value computed by the model for an output or test point and the value stored in the test, and detailed coverage information. V2017 introduces the option to include signal plots for inputs, outputs, and test points as shown below. In the case of outputs and test points, both the values computed by the model and the values from the test are graphed. If the two plots diverge by more than the specified tolerance, then the divergence is highlighted in red. The report also now includes the model version and the tolerance for each outport and test point.
V2017 includes a number of improvements to scopes which may be opened during simulation in Reactis Simulator. As shown below, you can now zoom by simply dragging with the mouse to select a zoom region of the plot. A right-click causes the zoom to be undone. Holding down the control key and dragging lets you scroll through a plot. New buttons in the scope toolbar let you export the plot to a PNG or to copy it to the clipboard.
Test points are any internal Simulink signal or Stateflow variable tagged by the user for extra inspection. Prior to V2017, Reactis stored values for test points in test suites and compared the computed value for a test point against the test suite value when executing tests in Reactis Simulator. V2017 adds the capability to specify a constraint for a test point, for example a range, and then raise an error, warning, or assertion violation if a value outside the constraint is observed.
Variant Source and Variant Sink blocks.
Lookup and Prelookup blocks in which the input data type is different from the breakpoint data type.

Gold Silver Worlds: Gold fell below $1,200 this week, its lowest point in exactly 3 years. The sentiment related to gold among traders and financial institutions has not hit such an extreme point during the current bull market.
BillionairesPortfolio.com: After reviewing hundreds of the quarterly filings from some of the world's biggest and best Billionaire hedge funds this weekend, a few investment trends have emerged.
The Daily Capitalist: Nothing really has gone wrong with the fundamental gold story since it reached its current price in the summer of 2011. This period was, as we remember, one of feigned panic amongst the media that the United States would actually default on its Treasury obligations.
David Banister: The recent rally in Gold took the metal from the 1620's to roughly 1800 per ounce before the ensuing corrective action began. Back around October 20th we warned our readers about a likely " wave 2" correction in Gold and we had several reasons for that warnings.
Jared Cummans: If the SPDR Gold ETF (NYSEARCA:GLD) was a sports team, it would undoubtedly be the New York Yankees; everybody loves to hate this ultra-popular fund. Though it is the second largest ETF inthe world, investors still have quite a beef with GLD.
Przemyslaw Radomski: According to a Bloomberg survey at a precious metals conference this week, gold is poised for a 21 percent gain in 2012, extending its bull market to 12 consecutive years. Bullion may rise to $1,897 an ounce in New York by Dec. 31 from $1,566.80 at the end of 2011.

Katherine Jenkins' Twitter hacked by Selena Gomez fan
Welsh singer KATHERINE JENKINS lost control of her Twitter.com account on Sunday (21Jul13) after it was compromised by a "crazy" SELENA GOMEZ fan.
The classical singer reached out to her online team for help in tracking down the hacker, who removed all of the star's pictures and de-verified her page on the social networking account.
Alerting her fans to the issue in a series of tweets, she wrote, "Sorry my account was hacked by some crazy Selina (sic) Gomez fan! Hopefully all sorted now but if u (you) read anything weird, u know the prob (problem) is back! Sorry to anyone I was following, it now seems that somehow you've been blocked. Trying to resolve - I still love you &defo (definitely) not me doing this (sic)!"
However, the 33 year old refused to let the incident put a damper on her day as she prepared for her Sunday night concert with the National Symphony Orchestra at Tatton Park in Cheshire.
She later added, "Anyway, apart from the shenanigans (I) am having a lovely day. Ran in the park, now on way to Tatton Park for 2nites (tonight's) show &the sun is shining (sic)!"


The legacy of the Civil Rights movement is honored this week amid reflection on today's civil rights front: the right to life in a culture of death.
In Speaker John Boehner's first address to the House of Representatives on January 5th he said that "America is more than a country. It's an idea." Like any great idea, it did not begin in its current form. The idea of America evolved with fits and starts in response to both prophets and protests – and wars, and great losses, and immense sacrifices. In my post, "The Day the Earth Stood Still," last year, I wrote of the decade from 1963 to 1973 in which it seems that the very idea of America gave birth to a Civil Rights movement that was hard fought and continues to be. Milestones were reached, but the Civil Rights movement never ended. It now just takes another form.
In another post, "Prophets on the Path to Peace," I wrote of how civil rights as an idea is not yet a done deal. Just as the idea formed and took shape for some in America, it failed for an entire class of others. Just as the idea of civil rights embraced our fellow Americans living lives marked by racial divisions and distinctions, it failed for millions of others not yet living outside the womb.
In the decade of the 1970s, it sometimes felt like I would be in school forever. After four years studying psychology and philosophy at Saint Anselm College, a Benedictine school just outside Manchester, NH, I commenced another four years immersed in theology and two millennia of Church history at Saint Mary Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland. Saint Mary's is the oldest Catholic seminary in the United States, and, at that time at least, the most academically demanding.
Like many seminarians then, I was chronically poor. During the rationing and long gas lines of the late 1970s, I paid $900 for a clunker of a Chevy Malibu. It had a V-8 engine that could pass everything but gas stations, and when I bought it, it burned more oil than gasoline. A friend and I spent all our spare time in the summer of 1978 rebuilding its engine before I drove it off to Baltimore to begin the great adventure of faith seeking understanding. I was proud of the fact that we got the Chevy's gas mileage up to a point where I could sit in the long lines for gas with a clear conscience, though I don't think General Motors would have still recognized its engine. I loved that car, not the least for where it took me.
Roaring around Baltimore from 1978 to 1982, I quickly learned that the great city was second only to my native Boston for the lure and lore of its history. Outside the seminary, there was a whole other field of education within 100 miles Of Baltimore in any direction. So Saturdays in the seminary were devoted to field trips to the birth and growth of America; to the places where the idea first took shape. That's when visiting history became my hobby, and an important part of my education. Much more than my loss of freedom, now, I mourn the passing of the world beyond these stone walls.
One place stands out strikingly against the background of monuments and memories I visited and studied. I had some friends among the seminarians at Mount Saint Mary Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, a two+ hour drive from Baltimore. On several Saturdays, my speedy Chevy drove north to pick up my friends and head for Gettysburg, just a few miles from Emmitsburg straddling the Maryland and Pennsylvania state line.
It's hard to describe what I felt the first time I stood surveying the very heart of America's most terrible war. The Battle of Gettysburg was fought there over the first three days of July in 1863. President Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address was delivered on that field on November 18, 1863, just three months after the horrific three-day battle that took the lives of over 80,000 Americans.
For some reason, standing on that field of battle for the first time in 1979, I thought of John F. Kennedy and the infamous day I wrote of in "The Day the Earth Stood Still." It came as a shock to me to realize that the defining battle of the American Civil War – that I once thought to be ancient history – was fought and then immortalized in Lincoln's great speech just l00 years before the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It was exactly 100 years, barely three generations in the lives of men. The Battle of Gettysburg, and all that led up to it, took place in the lifetime of my grandfather's grandfather.
Suddenly, with that revelation, I felt linked to all that came before. Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winning 1974 historical novel, The Killer Angels (Random House) relived this most decisive battle of the American Civil War, and my first visit came just after this great work of historical storytelling.
It felt strange standing for the first time upon Cemetery Hill where the Civil War pivoted toward victory for the North. But there was really no victory. It was America against itself, and the powerful imprint of death and sacrifice was still upon that battlefield as I stood there 116 years later. It was both eerie and inspiring. My friends went off to tour the museum and stare at row upon row of cannonballs and muskets, but I couldn't leave that field. I realized standing there for the first time just what an idea can cost, and what hardship and sacrifice it can demand from those who serve it.
By the time the Civil War was over, it demanded of America more lives of its citizens than World War I and World War II combined. Some 500,000 lost their lives fighting this nation's war against itself. I didn't understand then just how this happened, but standing on that that Gettysburg field, I resolved to one day understand. Men and women can women can sacrifice their lives for an idea, or an ideal, or a principle that is far greater than themselves. They can sacrifice freedom, even, to stand firm on a ground made solid by conscience.
Many historians and legal scholars draw a direct line between the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 and a single case decided before the U.S. Supreme Court four years earlier in 1857. As a causal connection, the decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford enraged conscience driven abolitionists and encouraged slave owners. It broadened the political and ideological abyss between the North and the South, and it led directly to a war of nothing less than the demands of conscience versus the realities of economic necessity and convenience.
Dred Scott was a fugitive slave. In 1848 at the age of 62, he brought suit to claim his freedom on the ground that he resided in a free territory established by the 1820 Missouri Compromise. As I wrote in "Prophets on the Path to Peace" last year, this is a piece of American history worth knowing, though many would prefer not to know. Dred Scott was purchased and lived his life as a slave, but was then taken by his "master", an Army surgeon, to a free territory rendered free by the Missouri Compromise.
Reflecting upon this now, five generations later, is made all the more painful by the recognition that Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney was a Catholic, though one who surely put the realities of national economics above the tenets of faith or conscience. As I wrote in "Squanto, the Pilgrims and the Pope" in November, the Catholic Church had three centuries earlier established slavery as a moral evil, and declared it unacceptable in any Catholic country. It would take another 250 years from the founding of America for this nation to put economic interest aside and catch up with the conscience of the Catholic Church.
Justice Taney's decision caused some in his day to conclude that there is a higher moral law than the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution at any given time in history. There is a higher moral law, and it led the nation on a direct path from Dred Scott to Civil War. The war came as a result of the conscience of individuals gradually forming a consensus about slavery and the rights of man.
One hundred years after that war was fought, its ripples continued throughout this nation. In 1968, Rev. Martin Luther King was assassinated for his unwavering and prophetic public witness in a story that we all know only too well. Father Richard John Neuhaus, whom I wrote of two weeks ago in "In Memoriam," wrote of the radical grace exemplified by Martin Luther King in American Babylon: Notes of a Christian Exile written by Fr. Neuhaus and published posthumously. He wrote of Dr. King's notion of "The Beloved Community" and described his movement as a new order . . .
Think for a moment, please, about that statement. There are not many of us who escape love's grief – unless we become so shallow as to so steel ourselves against grief that we can ignore it. What a tragedy! Those of us who know love's grief and refuse to settle for a community – a nation, a Church – of less than truth and justice uncompromised are in for some prophetic suffering.
Three years before Martin Luther King was assassinated, Father John Crowley, a heroic Catholic priest, was nearly driven from Selma, Alabama when he took out a full page ad in the Selma Times-Journal on February 7, 1965.
His ad contained a brilliant essay entitled "The Path to Peace in Selma." It urged the white community to speak out against racial segregation and discrimination not for the good of the black man and woman, but for the good of ALL men and women. Like the famous Lutheran Pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed on the personal orders of Hitler on April 9, 1945, Father John Crowley called upon fellow priests and other Catholics to put aside their fears of loss and stand by the truth uncompromised. I share a date of birth with the date of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's death, and I share a date of ordination with Father John Crowley. These very special men compel me to stand always by the truth uncompromised, and not to fear its cost.
Martin Luther King lost his life just five years before another divisive Supreme Court decision with grave implications for civil rights. There are some, and they are many, who see in the 1857 decision in Dred Scott the roots of 1973's Roe v. Wade. In 1973, after the Supreme Court handed down its divided decision in Roe v. Wade, the State of Texas joined other states in filing a petition for a rehearing before the full Court. The Texas dissent declared that the decision in Roe that an unborn child was not a human being with rights to be protected was not at all unlike the decision in Dred Scott that virtually no just person in this nation would ever stand by today.
And just as Dred Scott inspired dissidents of conscience to hear the Commandments of a Higher Authority, Roe v. Wade has inspired similar heroism, most of it barely noticed in the mainstream media, or, worse, taunted.
Have you noticed that much of the loudest ridicule of the Catholic Church in America comes on the heels of legislation that chips away at the right to life and human dignity?
Life Site News has carried the stories of two Canadian women whose sacrifices on behalf of civil rights for the unborn have landed them in prison. Linda Gibbons, a grandmother and prisoner of conscience, has spent much of the last seven years in an Ontario prison because she refuses to comply with a court order demanding that she cease and desist from standing on the sidewalk near an Ontario clinic to present alternatives to abortion. In eerie echoes of the Dred Scott decision, the clinic staff and the Ontario court charged her with interfering with fair commerce by suggesting to clients another way. Linda Gibbons first went to prison at the same time I did, in September 1994.
Mary Wagner took leave from a French convent to "witness to life" as Life Site News has called her sacrifice. In Holy Week last year, Mary was arrested by Vancouver police and remained in jail for months for refusing court orders to cease talking to abortion clinic clients about Project Rachel (www.hopeafterabortion.com).
And you may not know the name, Norma McCorvey. She's better known as "Jane Roe," the plaintiff in the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. Norma became a Catholic in 1998 and is now a staunch pro-life activist. She is the author of the book, Won By Love (Thomas Nelson, 1998). In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a petition by Norma McCorvey to reverse Roe v. Wade. In May 2009, she was among the Catholic protestors arrested at the University of Notre Dame during President Obama's Commencement address.
We can deduce where Martin Luther King would stand on the pressing civil rights issues of this day. There is some annual controversy that his niece, Dr. Alveda King, endeavors to clear up. His niece, Alveda King, staunchly defends Rev. King against claims that he would be a pro-choice or pro-abortion supporter today. She insists that his civil rights agenda would today include a defense of life. It's no irony that the week that begins in honor of his martyrdom for civil rights ends with the National March for Life in Washington, DC (www.marchforlife.org). Beginning in the fall of 2004, 40 Days for Life (www.40daysforlife.com) has held prayer vigils at 238 locations in the U.S., Canada, England, and Australia. The United States Bishops Conference details the 2011 Respect for Life campaign at www.usccb.org/prolife.
On the Saturday after my first visit to Gettysburg in 1979, I drove an hour south from Baltimore to Washington, DC. I went first to the Lincoln Memorial where the famous Gettysburg Address is etched into the stone behind the immense man's monumental presence. The great speech immortalized the struggle for civil rights as an ongoing struggle that must never be set aside if the idea of America is to survive.
As I read it, I thought of that awful battlefield where I stood 116 years later, and also of the civil rights battlefields of today where millions are denied the right to life, and millions more who sacrificed to witness for them. Lincoln's memorable words apply no less to them.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger-sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from those honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." (Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, November 19, 1863).
I can so empathize with your sorrow at your inability to visit historical sites. I have a mobility problem, which means that most such are out of my reach, having been built centuries before any ideas of accessibility! There has been an historian in me trying to get out since I was seven years old (so I got in some visits before the mobility problem developed 😉 ) I was a Stuart sympathizer then (though now that is somewhat modified by what I have discovered as an adult – some of them were not the wisest of men!).
It was also our school prayer. I smile a little at a certain irony. The ceremony at the Cenotaph could be considered the point at which we British are at our most patriotic. The prayer is attributed to St Ignatius Loyola and your interest in history will perhaps have taught you that not so long after the death of that Saint, any members of his Order (the Jesuits) who ventured upon these shores, in doing so, risked being executed by torture should they be discovered. They usually were discovered, because Elizabeth I had the most efficient spy network in Europe; I suspect it was even more efficient than the Gestapo. Like the Gestapo tracking down Bonhoeffer, St Edmund Campion's journey from Rome to England was followed and having arrived in 1580, he was executed in 1581. He was submitted to a show trial and spoke brilliantly in his own defence, despite having no access to any books (his opponents were well-briefed and had all the information they needed). His subsequent conviction was an injustice and even at the time there was considerable sympathy for him: I believe he was only drawn and quartered once he was dead – a mercy not extended to most.
Your life has been taken also but you still are heard by those that want to hear. The voices of the just will never be silenced because God is with us always.
I remember standing on that same field in Gettysburg. I felt the pain and suffering because those voices can not be silenced either. It was a war that boggles the mind, …that the worth of one human could be judged unhuman by another. ….deemed to be a piece of property or thing. How could a country that professed to believe in an almighty God allow this? Sadly we have not come much further because babies in the womb are deemed unhuman also.We just keep transferring what we perceive as God's power to ourselves. We are a country waiting to be brought to it's very knees. We must never cease to pray for it to be truly free.
The two photos at the end of the article say it all. They bring to mind Psalm 37. Thank you for providing the opportunity to be humbly proud of my newfound Church.
Oh! forgot to mention. I've posted this on FACEBOOK!
Once again, You remind us that God loves us ALL! We are all the work of His Holy Hands.
You are a constant, in the Holy Spirit, pricking our consciences, and feeding our hearts and minds with the most important issues in life… LIFE itself.
God bless You, Fr. Gordon and continue to use You to call us to task. Pray for us… we who are free, not contained within 'Stone Walls, are often being pulled into so many directions, that it is so easy to get confused and distracted. Please continue onward, in Your fight for liberty, both for YOU there, and for us, here!
I have commented on a few of your posts in the past. This particular post is outstanding. Sometimes it takes someone who has been denied freedom to connect the dots between civil rights and the most basic of all rights, the right to live. You did just that. This post is one that your Church should be disseminating proudly and widely, but it isn't. That fact is distressing, to me and to many others. I can think of no reason why this post is not widely circulated among Catholic websites. I am left to surmise that fear is ruling the day here, and it should not. It must not!
Thank you for another thoughtful post Father G-you write so well.
I think the "freedom ride" is a wonderful way of showing the clear link between the fight for civil rights and the fight to defend the unborn. Just as black people were once treated with no respect for their rights as children of God so too are the unborn. They are treated as a disposable piece of property.
The slaughter of the Innocents continues day in day out. The world continues to try to destroy the Christ child.
Thanks for the inspired words on Civil Rights and the Right to Life. It makes much sense and it is good that these simple, profound and vitally important truths are being spoken about.
Your thread of presenting the truth continues in this post. It is hard not to see (unless one refuses to) the parallels between Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade.
I also believe that our slowly but surely losing what was the great ideal and idea of this country has its roots in the legalization of abortion. Any country who makes the taking of human life a "constitutional right" will stop at nothing!
A few years ago I would not have said this. Thanks to God's grace and the prayers of a few, not the least of which is my aborted daughter in heaven, I have received healing and can see the truth. As I continue to give my witness to those who invite me to do so, I pray I will have the courage of the women you mentioned in your post to do so no matter the cost.
Thank you for continuing to spread the truth uncompromised.

Candidates in Ohio Special Election Neck-and-Neck
August 8, 2018 August 8, 2018 KYLE ANNE UNISS
Donald Trump, Elections, Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio (CN) – In Ohio's 12th Congressional District's special election, Republican Troy Balderson declared victory over Democrat Danny O'Connor in a race that election officials and O'Connor still see as too close to call Wednesday.
12th Congressional District Republican candidate Troy Balderson, left, shakes hands with President Donald Trump during a rally, Saturday, Aug. 4, 2018, in Lewis Center, Ohio. (Doral Chenoweth/The Columbus Dispatch via AP)
The winner will fill the seat vacated by Republican Pat Tiberi, who stepped down in January after nine terms to go to work for an Ohio business group. Tiberi's current term that Balderson and O'Connor are vying for ends in December.
With all precincts reporting, Balderson holds a lead of 1,754 votes, a less than 1 percent margin of victory. But with about 3,400 provisional ballots and 5,000 absentee ballots still to be counted, that lead could change. Under Ohio law, these ballots cannot be officially counted until the 11th day after the election, Aug. 18. If Balderson's lead drops to 0.5 percent, an automatic recount is triggered.
Balderson claimed victory in a statement to supporters, telling them, "I am honored for the opportunity to represent Ohio's 12th Congressional District. I will work relentlessly for everyone in this district. Congratulations to Danny O'Connor on running a hard-fought race."
President Donald Trump and the National Republican Congressional Committee also declared victory for Balderson.
Balderson, an Ohio legislator for the last nine years, is a Trump loyalist who also garnered the support of Ohio Governor Republican John Kasich, one of Trump's most vocal Republican critics.
On the other side, O'Connor, Franklin County recorder, thanked supporters and his family Tuesday night, but did not concede.
The district has been a Republican stronghold, with the GOP holding the seat for the last 30 years. But low voter turnout in the rural, conservative areas of the district coupled with Democratic enthusiasm resulted in race that is still too close to call.
Balderson ran on a Republican agenda, supporting the GOP tax cuts, the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act and Trump's border wall. While not shying away from his support of Trump, he tried to pull in those who may not like Trump by highlighting his Kasich endorsement, claiming that his campaign brought the Republican Party together.
O'Connor ran a campaign highlighting his willingness to reach across the aisle and "to help end the partisan dysfunction in Washington." He focused on expanding health care coverage and the protection of Medicare and Social Security.
O'Connor dominated Balderson in advertising on the airwaves, spending more than $2 million compared to Balderson's $507,000, according to the campaigns.
The Republican Congressional Campaign Committee and its super PAC did help Balderson's campaign, spending over $4 million in funds for other advertising, with voters inundated by mail and phone calls.
Although the outcome of the election is still unknown, one thing is certain: these two candidates will meet again. In November, the two will again go head-to-head for the right to represent the 12th District for the full, two-year term.
