An adult female sea lion was found dead on Venice Beach on August 3. She had been shot three times.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting, as killing a marine mammal is a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which can result in a $100,000 fine and a year in prison. MORE

OSLO — Hardangervidda, a mountain plateau in southern Norway that is popular among tourists and hikers, is known for its natural beauty.

Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.
”Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990’s by reducing down payment requirements,” said Franklin D.

From a friend priest in regard to the chant in the video.
I saw that YouTube clip. Although it is the Exsultet chant of the Easter Vigil, the whole thing is taken out of context. The chant is very ancient–more than 100 years, maybe back to St. Augustune–and refers to Jesus Christ as the Light Bearer who knows no sunset after His Resurrection.

Kaepernick’s reasoning: to protest what he feels is racial injustice in America.
Linebacker NaVorro Bowman didn’t say that Kaepernick or his stance was the “cancer,” but in-house divisiveness was and would be if players don’t work their way through Kaepernick’s new-found, pre-game ritual. MORE

Ever since Satan deceived Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit under the pretext of becoming as gods (Gensis 3:5, “You shall be as gods knowing good and evil.”) Man has been struggling to find himself until Jesus Christ came into this world to give him back his spiritual rebirth. In going back to God’s original plan (Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in Our image and likeness.”) What Eve didn’t realize was that she and Adam were already created as gods, but of the imperfect state.

The move won McAuliffe, a Democrat, praise from social-justice advocates, but it inspired an immediate backlash from Republicans in the commonwealth, who vowed to block the move. MORE
