PRAYER NEED: Carrie Tomko RIP - Monday April 6, 2009

CARRIE'S LAST POST

Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

We will miss you Carrie! Please intercede for us!

My prayers continue for Carrie's family.

Bow-ow-ow: Obama's painful missteps

Conservatives seem deliriously drunk with their cartoon picture of Obama, to whom is glibly attributed every pathology in the book. Yes, there were ambiguities about Obama's birth certificate that have never been satisfactorily resolved. And the embargo on Obama's educational records remains troubling. But I am still waiting for hard evidence about the host of other charges that are continually being hammered against him -- from his alleged fidelity to the crypto-tactics of Chicago leftist Saul Alinsky to the questions raised by right-wingers about the production of Obama's two memoirs. Out of respect for the presidency, conservatives need to put up or shut up about these issues.

Oh, that we could put up or shut up...that assumes that the answers would be there to do so...as the questions obviously linger not only for conservatives, but also for Ms. Paglia. The burden of proof continues to lie at Pres. Obama's feet.

She can't skate free from this little piece, as she herself uses the following phrases - "never been satisfactorily resolved", "remains troubling" and "still waiting for hard evidence". I too feel the same way Ms. Paglia! And it is out of respect for the presidency that conservatives will work to find and present the truth...for the truth will set you AND us free!

More at Notre Dame - A Catholic University....

Mario Capecchi, the 2007 Nobel Prize winner in physiology and medicine to lecture at ND: Nobel Prize-winning scientist to present lectures

Here's the deal:

The technique of homologous recombination pioneered by Capecchi and Smithies was initially done in mammalian cell culture, and proved to be a powerful tool in that system; however, the real impact of the work was only felt when Evans learned how to isolate embryonic stem cells from mice. Capecchi and Smithies went on to perform the homologous recombination procedure on these cells, which were extracted from early mouse embryos and could be easily grown in Petri dishes. When placed into other mouse embryos, they merged with them, creating chimaeras. In mice where the transformed cells populated the sperm-producing or egg-producing cells of the gonads, the progeny were transgenic.
