News: Jerry Springer creator Richard Thomas hits out at censorship in the arts
Posted: October 30, 2014 at 2:42 pm
Jerry Springer creator Richard Thomas has hit out at censorship in the arts.
Jerry Springer the Opera creator Richard Thomas has become the latest industry figure to speak out about the importance of freedom of speech within the arts, claiming organisations funded by the taxpayer have a particular responsibility to take risks.
His comments come after the cancellation of the Barbicans Exhibit B following protests last month, and as campaigners in New York rally against a production of Metropolitan Operas The Death of Klinghoffer.
Thomas described it as worrisome when stuff like that happens and added that a tour of Jerry Springer the Opera in 2006 had suffered because of protesters, many of whom had not even seen the production. Those against it, led by an organisation known as Christian Voice, labelled the show blasphemous.
It killed it, killed the ticket sales, Thomas said, adding: The wave of negative publicity made it sound like a shit show. But it wasnt, it was hilarious.
The writer, who has penned the lyrics to the new musical Made in Dagenham, said that he was a proponent of freedom of speech in the arts and warned that the industry should be wary of anything that encroaches on that.
Although Christian Voice lost a court case it tried to bring against Jerry Springer the Opera for being blasphemous, Thomas said it had made arts organisations think again about what shows they put on, because of the costs involved in defending them from potential legal action.
You would think twice about investing in such a show, no matter how good it is, if it has a contentious subject matter, he said.
Thomas added: Institutions by nature are risk averse But I feel its incumbent on taxpayer-funded institutions to take a risk.
The writer said that there were different constraints in the commercial sector, and claimed it would be naive to expect the West End to suddenly decide to do a musical set in the Gaza strip.

Former TX Congressman Ron Paul in Dallas Friday; Paul 1st of Many Experts to Speak at NCPA/Scholar Weekend
Posted: at 2:41 pm
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 29, 2014
Three-time presidential hopeful Dr. Ron Paul will speak about current news issues ahead of the upcoming mid-term elections this Friday, October 31st, as part of the National Center for Policy Analysis/Hatton W. Sumners Distinguished Lecture Series weekend. Dr. Paul has been very vocal about the November elections, Ebola, ISIS and the Middle East in recent weeks.
Media are invited to attend and cover. Recording is restricted to the first 5 minutes of speech, but a few minutes with Dr. Paul will be available for recorded Q&A after the speech, by request.
Dr. Paul served in the U.S. Air Force as a flight surgeon in the 1960s before winning his first Congressional bid in the mid-1970s and serving nine terms until his retirement last year. Paul made three unsuccessful bids for nomination as a presidential candidate as a Libertarian in 1988 and as a Republican in 2008 and 2012.
In Congress, Paul served on the House Banking Committee, where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve. He also was a key member of the Gold Commission, advocating a return to a gold standard.
Paul continues to work for limited constitutional government through organizations he has founded, including the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE), Campaign for Liberty, and Liberty PAC, and his online network The Ron Paul Channel. His son, Rand, has been the junior GOP senator for Kentucky since his election in 2011.
Ron Pauls latest book, The School Revolution, offers a provocative look at Americas broken education system and what Americans can do to fix it.

2,000 IPs in Surigao displaced in Army ops, group says
Posted: at 2:41 pm
DAVAO CITY At least 1, 783 individuals equivalent to 378 families from different tribal communities in Surigao del Sur were forced to evacuate their communities due to intensified military operations, a human rights spokesperson said Wednesday.
In an emailed statement, Dr. Naty Castro, spokesperson of Karapatan in Caraga, said 22 tribal communities have been targets of massive military operations and gross violation of human rights were committed in the course of such operations.
Castro said these tribal communities are under the umbrella organization of MAPASU (Malahutayong Pakigbisog Alang sa Sumusunod, Continuing Struggle for the Next Generation), the inter-municipal Manobo organization from the towns of Lianga, San Agustin, Marihatag, Cagwait, Tago and San Miguel.
MAPASU actively opposes the entry of large-scale gold, chromite and coal mining and land conversion within their ancestral lands, said Castro.
According to Karapatan-Caraga, the victims of these gross human rights violations are 11 tribal communities in Barangays Diatagon and San Isidro in Lianga; 4 tribal and settler communities in Barangay Buhisan, San Agustin and 1 tribal community in Tago all of Surigao del Sur.
Castro accused as violators of human rights the Army troopers from 2nd Scout Ranger Battalion, 36th Infantry Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Battalion, 401st Brigade, operating troops of the CAFGU, members of the paramilitary group of Calpit Egua and the Gantangan Bagani Force which is under the control of the 29th IBPA.
Karapata-Caraga said that MAPASU tribal leaders and members were subjected to coercion, intimidation, and threat to force them in admitting that they were either members or supporters of the communist guerillas.
The tribal leaders and members of MAPASU were invited for interrogations in military camps, and were later threatened, harassed and vilified as members and/or supporters of the New Peoples Army (NPA), said Castro.
Presently, over 120 civilians, mostly members of peasant and Lumad organizations in Caraga are facing fabricated criminal charges ranging from grave arson and malicious mischief to multiple murder and frustrated murder.
Karapatan-Caraga also noted that teachers and students of the Lumad Community Learning Centers have been harassed, threatened, vilified as NPA schools and used as temporary military camps by operating troops.

The India Post launches same day delivery service in Hyderabad on Wednesday. - Kurmanath
DoP to invest Rs 4,909 crore for technology deployment
Hyderabad, Oct. 29:
As online retail has come of age in the country, e-commerce firms have begun to knock on the India Post doors for quick delivery of parcels. Though they have been using its services for some time in a small way, the Diwali sale saw a huge shift, with almost all e-com firms used our network to deliver the voluminous orders they got.
Seeing the spurt in demand, India Post has launched the Same Day parcel delivery service here on Wednesday and promises to expand the service to other cities and next day delivery service to customers in the hinterland.
The company has earmarked about Rs 4,909 crore to deploy technologies in the next three years in order to digitise the services. This is India Post 2.0. We are going to introduce technology in a big way in order to get connected with the corporates and the digital generation, John Samuel, Member of Postal Services Board (Department of Posts), told Business Line here on Wednesday.
Waking up to the needs of this new retail players, the Department of Posts would further spread the same day parcel service to other parts as well. You are used to see our postmen come to your places in the day time. As we launch the new service, you will see them coming in vans during 5 p.m.-9 p.m. in order to deliver the parcels, he said.
We are going to launch digital post offices that let you book the parcels and Speed Post consignments much easier. You can use smart phones to complete some tasks, reducing human intervention, he said.
Samuel, who was here to formally launch the Same Day parcel delivery service, said the service would initially be available in a few post offices and would be expanded to other areas. In a later stage, vans would ply to other parts of the State too to offer next day delivery service.

The biggest unreported synod influence: human experience
Posted: at 2:40 pm
A torrent of words has spilled over the information dam of the just-concluded synod on the family. Nowhere, however, do we find explicitly reported the factor that threads through its documents as electricity does through a power line. I refer to that sacramental element of ordinary life and ordinary time, the critical baseline for the reception of belief: human experience.
"Experience" derives from the Latin experiri -- "to put to the test," something that we do every time we compare what others, including supposed "authorities," tell us is happening to us or in us as we run the gauntlet of every day's embraces and blows, some great and some slight, that rain down on us as we make passage through our own portion of ordinary time.
Our human experience, like the World War II Ultra code-breaking machine, catches the heavy traffic of messages about what we really do and what is done to us every day. Our experience sifts the true interpretations of what others do to us, and we to them, breaking the misleading code in which authoritarian forces press them on us as moral absolutes.
Most of the synod fathers realized that they could not issue a document that men and women would accept unless its words were true to everyday human experience -- unless, we might say, they were sacramental, reflecting back the truth of our humanity to us. The power in many of the synodal statements as well as in most of the pope's actions and statements issues not from their getting good grades in abstract theological theses, but from what we might term their confessor's grasp of gritty human experience.
Recalling the meaning of the word "experience," the pope and the synodal bishops invited lay Catholics to test the way the church teaches about our lives against the truths they have learned as they passed through the valley of the shadows of existence.

The latter included Ron and Mavis Pirola, an Australian couple whose question is shared by many Catholics. The Pirolas told the Synod of Bishops of parents who welcomed the male partner of a gay son to Christmas dinner with their grandchildren. Here is an expression of real rather than abstract human experience, of what one Catholic couple feels is the Christian way to deal with their own family.
Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart expressed the reaction of many of the bishops present by urging a rethinking of the way the church communicates about homosexuality. He referred to the catechism's categorizing homosexual people as "disordered" and of homosexual acts being "intrinsically evil." Hart responded as a good pastor would: "You say that to a parent who has a gay son or daughter and they just cannot understand that this child whom they love and who they have nurtured -- might have chosen a thing that they don't approve of -- but is to be totally rejected because of that." He says "teaching and practice must go hand in hand, but we can do so with mercy and love and help people to realize that whatever may be the challenges that [occur] in their life, they are respected and loved by the Church."
Not so fast, cried Cardinal Raymond Burke, the controversial conservative who is on the verge of being removed from the powerful post of prefect of the Apostolic Signatura and sent to Malta as, so to speak, head cheerleader for the Knights of Malta. The new Maltese falcon's talons, however, were unsheathed in an interview with LifeSite News in which he asserted, "If homosexual relations are intrinsically disordered, which indeed they are -- reason teaches us that and also our faith -- then, what would it mean to grandchildren to have present at a family gathering a family member who is living [in] a disordered relationship with another person?"
Grandparents who do this could mislead their grandchildren and do them a disservice "by seeming to condone gravely sinful acts on the part of a family member."

Race for District 5 post on DuPage County Board
Posted: at 2:40 pm
The race for the seat on the DuPage County Board from District 5 features challenger Regina D. Brent going against incumbent Tonia Khouri.
The district includes parts of Naperville and Aurora.
Regina D. Brent
Brent has spent her entire professional career in public service, and she has a pretty good idea of what works and what doesnt, she said.
I will strive to build a platform for the people, including the middle class and disadvantaged, she said.
Brent was one of 16 children, born and raised on Chicagos South Side, graduating from DuSable High School before going on to be the first in her family to earn a college degree.
Brent, a Democrat, began her career working for the city of Chicago, first in the Department of Health, later in the Department of Human Resources, and finally in the office of 17th Ward Alderman Allan Streeter.
After 14 years with the city, she moved to the Illinois Attorney Generals Office, from where she retired recently.
After years of observing various politicians, she thought she could do a better job serving the public.
As an employee, my hands were tied, but I thought that if I was ever afforded the opportunity to run for office, I would take it, she said.
