What can we do to prevent senseless tragedies like this?

I don’t think anyone who looks at those photos can honestly say that Rowan was not human…anna mp3 adamismp3 acoustic guitararchivo actualizar informacion mp325000 mp3 hzmp3 monkeys acrticmp3 car adamomp3 1234 fiestmp3 lukas acu Map

NEW POPE

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

NEW POPE

White smoke + bells.

Third vote was the charm.

Edit: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict the 16th

De Gloria Olivae according to St. Malachy

It should be quite an experience seeing this Pope in his native homeland of Germany this summer at World Youth Day 2005!

Britney Spears and ACID

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

6.UAT - Gave my Technical presentation — it went very well.

6.033 - Talked about building computers systems that are robust and satisfy the ACID test. The ACID test stands for: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability. Rinard drew parallels to Britney Spears’ marriage… Entertaining recitation :)

15.053 - Pretty straight forward lecture about branching.

Beyond Death

Wednesday, April 6th, 2005

His funeral will bring together nearly 200 world leaders, some of whom rarely if ever meet, a fitting tribute to a Pope who fought for world peace and unity.

The chairs already laid out in St. Peter’s Square will seat President Bush near President Mohammad Khatami of Iran, one of the countries Bush included in his “axis of evil.”

Pray for the Pope

Friday, April 1st, 2005

Pope John Paul II, spiritual leader of the world’s 1 billion Catholics, is in “very serious” condition and has received the blessing for the dying after suffering heart failure and a high fever, weeks after surgery to relieve breathing problems.
The pope was “conscious” and “extremely serene,” said Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls at a press conference in Rome. The 84-year-old pope yesterday received the blessing for those approaching death, Navarro-Valls said. His condition is stable, though “very serious,” after he suffered a “urinary tract infection, septic shock and a cardiocirculatory collapse,” Navarro-Valls said.

The world’s cardinals, who will select John Paul II’s successor, have been summoned to Rome, a sign that preparations are under way for a conclave, the secretive election procedure that must begin within three weeks of the pope’s death.

Pope John Paul II suffered heart failure and was in “very grave” condition Friday, but he was lucid and spent the morning celebrating Mass and receiving top aides, asking one to read him the biblical account of Christ’s Crucifixion and burial, the Vatican said.

Septic shock, suffered this week by Pope John Paul II, involves both bacteria in the blood and a consequent over-relaxing of the blood vessels. The vessels, which are normally narrow and taut, get floppy in reaction to the bacteria and can’t sustain any pressure.

“The chances of an elderly person in this condition with septic shock surviving 24 to 48 hours are slim — about 10-20%, but that would be in an intensive care unit with very aggressive treatment,” said Dr. Gianni Angelini, a professor of cardiac surgery at Bristol University in England.

Eventually the heart fails, but unlike in heart failure, the problem does not start in the heart.

Pray for the Holy Father, that God may aid him in his suffering.
