Religious freedom key for peace, pope says

Posted: at 8:12 am

Published: Sept. 15, 2012 at 12:09 PM

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Religious freedom is "indispensable for peace" and forgiveness key to reconciliation, Pope Benedict XVI said in Lebanon Saturday.

Benedict was in Lebanon as part of his three-day visit to the Middle East.

"Religious freedom has a social and political dimension, which is indispensable for peace," the pope said.

When he arrived in Lebanon Friday, the pontiff said he came to the region as "pilgrim of peace," Voice of America reported.

His visit came as anti-American protests spread across the region over a film produced in the United States denigrating the Prophet Muhammad.

People cheered Saturday as the papal motorcade went to the presidential palace, where President Michel Suleiman greeted the pope, The (Beirut) Daily Star said.

Benedict said only by "rejecting revenge, acknowledging one's faults, accepting apologies without demanding them, and, not least, forgiveness ... can there be growth in understanding and harmony between cultures and religions."

He criticized religious fundamentalism as a "falsification of religion."

Suleiman said Christians were key in achieving democracy, the Star reported.

Freedom twice in 42 seconds, upsets Olympia | Video

Posted: at 8:12 am

Freedom quarterback Jimmy Kealy ran for three touchdowns and the Patriots scored twice in a span of 42 seconds of the third quarter Friday night in a 38-29 upset of Olympia.

Kealy scored on runs of 2, 17 and 6 yards the final touchdown coming midway through the fourth quarter and sealing the victory.

Olympia running back John Armstrong also ran for three touchdowns

"It felt really good to get three touchdowns rushing," Kealy said. "The first two games we have been passing a lot and we threw a good bit tonight, but we thought we would be able to run. The offensive line was blocking really good."

The game turned around in that 42-second span of the third quarter.

Olympia (1-2), No. 5 in the Sentinel Super 16, held a 21-14 lead at halftime but mistakes by the Titans were costly in the third quarter.

Freedom (2-1), No. 16 in the rankings, got the 17-yard run by Kealy with 9:30 left in the third. Twice on the extra point try, Olympia was penalized, moving the ball to inside the 1. Instead of trying for the extra point a third time, Freedom coach Andy Johnson sent his offense on the field and Kealy scored the 2-point conversion, putting the Patriots up 22-21.

Then on the kickoff, the Patriots used a squib kick.

An Olympia player trying to field the ball slipped on the field and Freedom's Robin Nezius recovered at the Olympia 33. Four plays later Devin Cortese scored on a 10-yard run with 8:48 left in the third quarter.

The mistakes continued for Olympia, as receiver Joe Gallagher couldn't hang onto a pass after he got free deep and quarterback Deondre Francois' pass was tipped in the end zone and intercepted by Stephon Williams.

Boxing legend Ali accepts Liberty Medal

Posted: at 8:11 am

The Liberty Medal, one of Philadelphia's highest honors, is bestowed upon those of "courage and conviction who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe."

Past recipients include Nelson Mandela, Sandra Day O'Connor and Steven Spielberg.

Ali, 70, was honored not only for being a boxing champion but for championing religious freedom, freedom of speech and racial equality.

Speakers at the ceremony outside the Constitution Center included basketball great Dikembe Mutombo, actor Terrence Howard and Ali's daughter, boxer Laila Ali. But perhaps the most moving speech was given by Joe Louis Barrow II, son of legendary boxer Joe Louis.

"Knowing [Ali] since I was a little boy has given me a ringside seat to history," Barrow said.

Barrow spoke of how his father had volunteered to serve in World War II whereas Ali refused to serve in the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs.

"In different ways, you both defended the ideal of the Constitution," he said. "And time has shown you were both on the right side of history."

Barrow choked up as he recalled how on the day of his father's funeral, Ali performed a magic trick just for him.

"You put your large hand on my very small shoulder, and on that day, far away from the bright lights, you gave a scared little boy the courage to face the challenges of a lifetime," he said. "For that, I can simply say, 'Thank you. I love you.' "

Because Parkinson's disease has made it difficult for Ali to speak, his wife, Lonnie, spoke on his behalf.

Montana makes big plays, beats Liberty 34-14

Posted: at 8:11 am

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) -- Montana came up with some big plays on special teams and offense Saturday afternoon in its 34-14 win over Liberty. But it was the defense that drew the most praise from Coach Mick Delaney.

''Anytime you go out and stop a team from being able to run the ball, you should do well,'' Delaney said. ''I'm really proud of our defense, especially in the first half. They were just tenacious and got some key turnovers.''

Peter Nguyen ran a punt back 90 yards for a touchdown as Montana improved to 2-1 on the season. Liberty, of the Big South Conference, fell to 0-3.

''I'm a little disappointed,'' said Liberty coach Turner Gill. ''I thought we would be able to run the ball a little better.''

The Montana defense held the Flames to 21 yards rushing and harassed quarterback Josh Woodrum all afternoon -- sacking him five times.

After a slow opening 10 minutes, Nguyen brought the crowd to its feet with an electrifying jaunt down the left side of the field to give Montana a 7-0 lead.

''I had a lot of space and time to think,'' Nguyen said. ''And there was great blocking. The whole punt return team was really excited to get one.''

The Grizzlies tacked on another 17 points before halftime on a 32-yard run by Dan Moore, a 6-yard run by Trent McKinney and a 42-yard field goal by Chris Lider.

The Flames cut the Montana lead to 24-7 early in the third quarter on a 14-yard pass from Woodrum to Pat Kelly.

Montana answered back with 12:20 to play in the fourth quarter when McKinney hooked up with Greg Hardy on a 2-yard touchdown pass to go back up 31-7.

Fifteen Questions with Junot Díaz

Posted: at 8:10 am

Junot Daz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Drown, meets me in front of the Harvard Bookstore. Its 9 a.m. on a Friday, and the early September humidity is just beginning to spike. Daz is wearing a mottled red t-shirt, dark grey jeans, running shoes, and a Boston Red Sox cap. He kisses me on both cheeks when we meet. Recovering from back surgery, Daz finds sitting almost impossible so we begin walking down Bow Street towards the Charles River.

Fifteen Minutes: You did an interview with The New York Times recently and talked about many of your favorite books. Its an impressive listhow do you find time to read all of those authors?

Junot Daz: You have to understand: Its what I do. When something is really important to you, I think youre always looking for an excuse. I find reading more important to me than almost anything, including my writing. I consider myself a reader way more than I consider myself a writer. Perhaps what might have struck anybody about that interview was that this quantity of reading is more emblematic of the way I organize my life than anything.

FM: Did you read anything before we met this morning?

JD: Before I came here I read a chapter of a book on invasive species while I had my damn oatmeal, and I said, I could have my fucking oatmeal and just chill. Or, I could put in 25 pages. And so 25 pages are done. The book will be done by this evening because I sort of use these still, interstitial moments to burn through them. My favorite line of the chapter was the last line: It is unlikely that anyone will ever again enter New Zealand carrying a red deer.

FM: Theres one line that really struck me from a short story you wrote titled The Cheaters Guide to Love. The line was: The half-life of love is forever. Can you explain that to me?

JD: I think you discover somethingperhaps some of us discover it young, perhaps some of us discover it much older. You can get over a person romantically and never fall out of love with them. As a young person I had no idea that that was possible. I always thought that eventually a relationship would come to end, and your imaginary would find in time surcease. But I think when you really fall in love, there seems to be something permanent that happens to you.
