*The USA women edged Marta-less Brazil, 1-0, on reserve Amy Rodriguez's second-half goal, stretching their winning streak to 10 and their 2008 record to 20-0-1. The teams will meet again Wednesday in San Diego. *Revs defender Chase Hilgenbrinck has retired. Why? Read this release from the Revs: The New England Revolution has announced that defender Chase Hilgenbrinck has decided to leave the club and retire from soccer to enter a Catholic seminary in Maryland to prepare for a new career in the ministry. Hilgenbrinck, 26, signed with the Revolution on March 28, 2008 following a four-year career in Chile. He made four appearances in MLS first-team matches, including one start. A native of Bloomington, Ill., he also started the Revs' two U.S. Open Cup victories this month. Additionally, he started all six of the reserve team's games for which he was available, captaining the team twice. "After years of discernment, ... Source: www.reuters.com --- 132 days ago

A number of interesting legal developments are taking place outside the U.S. today. Here are a few: No Abortion in Brazil: The center-left government of Brazil, South America’s most populous Roman-Catholic country, voted against a proposal to change a law criminalizing abortion.

A bill that would have legalized abortion in Brazil was voted down by a committee in the lower house of Congress on Wednesday and is now effectively off the table, after being hung up in Congress for 17 years. The bill had support from some legislators but was a hard sell in a country with the largest baptized Roman Catholic population in the world. Eduardo Cunha, leader of the Justice and Constitution Committee in the Chamber of Deputies, which voted 57-4 against the bill, said simply, "This bill won't prosper in the Chamber." Thus Brazil remains on the list of more than 70 countries with restrictions on abortion, where, as the BBC reports today , pregnant women are increasingly turning to Web sites like Women on Web for help. Women on Web will send abortifacient drugs to women less than nine weeks pregnant in countries "where abortion is heavily restricted" -- also providing proper instructions, paperwork signed by a doctor and e-mail support. Audrey Simpson, director of the Family Planning Association of Northern Ireland, calls the site "very helpful and reputable" -- while being careful to add that her organization doesn't encourage breaking Irish law. Unfortunately, at-home abortions are not without risks, even when they don't involve the proverbial rusty coat hanger. Besides Women on Web, there are rogue sites out there, sending "unmarked bottles with no instructions or paperwork," according to one woman who eventually used ...

DNA tests confirmed that a body found off the coast of Brazil is that of a priest who disappeared while flying over the Atlantic buoyed by hundreds of brightly colored party balloons, authorities said Tuesday. The Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli set off from the Brazilian port city of Paranagua on April 20 strapped to 1,000 helium-filled balloons in an attempt to raise money to build a rest stop and worship center for truckers. But the 41-year-old Roman Catholic priest soon lost contact with his ground team, and the cluster of yellow, orange, pink and white balloons was found in the water a day later. Tugboat workers discovered a body off Rio de Janeiro in early July that authorities believed belonged to the cleric. Medical examiner worker Rosane Alves said Tuesday that tests comparing DNA samples from de Carli's brother to the body confirmed their suspicions. ... Source: observers.france24.com --- 2 days ago
Former Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo has taken up office as Paraguay’s new president. Our Observers in the country cast light on Latin America’s latest charismatic left wing leader. The introduction to this post was drafted by our Observer in Argentina, Johana Kunin. After Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, Argentina’s Cristina Kirchner, Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Ecuador’s Rafael Correa, Bolivia’s Evo Morales, Chile’s Michelle Bachelet, and Uruguay’s Tabare Vasquez, the arrival of Fernando Lugo marks yet another victory for the Left in South America. Yet, while these leaders share a number of values and agree on the need to nationalise key companies - particularly in the energy sector - their policies vary significantly. In rough terms, we may speak of two groups: on the one hand, the “pragmatics”, who pull towards the centre; and, on the other, the “anti-imperialists”. As for Paraguay’s new president, he advocates a “theological liberation of the Left”. He’s worked in the country’s poorest parishes and enjoys the reputation of being an honest man, a particularly important asset in a country where politics have become synonymous with corruption. Fernando Lugo said he would not marry during his five-year mandate, despite the Pope having lifted his vow of chastity. His sister will therefore act as the country’s first lady. The new president has also sought the advice of recognised experts, including the US Nobel Prize-winning econo ...

Body of Ballooning Priest Found at Sea AP SAO PAULO, Brazil (July 29) - DNA tests confirmed that a body found off the coast of Brazil is that of a priest who disappeared while flying over the Atlantic buoyed by hundreds of brightly colored party balloons, authorities said Tuesday. A Sad Ending Renita Pelissari, Agencia O Globo / AP The body of Catholic priest Adelir Antonio de Carli, above right, was found off the coast of southeastern Brazil on Tuesday, police said. De Carli disappeared on April 20 after floating out over the ocean suspended by 1,000 party balloons. The Rev.

The God Factor The following poem of Emily Dickinson is quoted here in memory of John Watson Foster Dulles, a scholar of Brazilian history who died at 95 on June 23 . He was the eldest son of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles , a nephew of Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles , brother of Roman Catholic Cardinal Avery Dulles , and a grandson of Presbyterian minister Allen Macy Dulles, author of The True Church . I asked no other thing, No other was denied. I offered Being for it; The mighty merchant smiled. Brazil? He twirled a button, Without a glance my way: "But, madam, is there nothing else That we can show to-day?" "He twirled a button...." The above figure of Plato (see 3/22 ) was suggested by Lacan's diamond ( losange or poinçon ) as a symbol -- according to Frida Saal -- of Derrida's différance -- which is, in turn, "that which enables and results from Being itself" -- according to Professor John Lye I prefer Plato and Dulles to Lacan and Lye . ...
Final word on the Boisdale party. Late in the evening, after most of the guests had left, I was accosted by an absurdly flirtatious woman who asked me if I'd like to go to Rio de Janieiro. (Would I like to go to Rio de Janieiro? Is the Pope Catholic?) I won't bore you with the details (they were sketchy, to say the least) but I think I heard the words "conference" and "tobacco". Now, I don't know if this was a wind up, but if I find myself on a plane bound for Brazil later this year I shall (a) be thrilled, and (b) eat my hat. Watch this space. ...
They may be called “pigs in a blanket” in America or “cartucho” in Brazil, but cabbage rolls by the name of “holubtsi” will be the order of the day in Irondequoit this weekend. Dozens of volunteers were at Irondequoit’s St. Josaphat’s Church hall early last Monday to begin preparing the traditional favorite of the annual St. Josaphat’s Ukrainian Arts and Crafts Festival. “We give them a little bam,” said Gene Hryhorenko, as kitchen manager George Hanushevsky of Irondequoit whipped up savory batches of a filling of rice, beef, pork, onions and spices. It is a hefty order. Volunteers will take 2,700 pounds of cabbage, 520 pounds of rice and 260 pounds of beef and turn it into 9,400 cabbage rolls for this year’s four-day festival. The rolls are called holubtsi in the Ukraine.
