  • Statement by New York State Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz State Senate Aging Committee Public Hearing 250 Broadway, 19Th Floor, Nyc September 8, 2009
    STATEMENT BY NEW YORK STATE SENATOR REVEREND RUBEN DIAZ STATE SENATE AGING COMMITTEE PUBLIC HEARING 250 BROADWAY, 19TH FLOOR, NYC SEPTEMBER 8, 2009 GOOD MORNING. I AM STATE SENATOR REVEREND RUBEN DIAZ, THE CHAIR OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON AGING. I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO THIS PUBLIC HEARING. THE PURPOSE OF THIS HEARING IS TO RECEIVE ORAL AND WRITTEN TESTIMONY REGARDING PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE REFORM AND ITS IMPACT ON SENIOR CITIZENS. THIS COMMITTEE IS ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN RECEIVING COMMENTS PERTAINING TO SECTION 1233: ADVANCED CARE PLANNING. MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN AND SAID ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE BILL. IT IS MY HOPE TODAY THAT THE WITNESSES WHO ARE PRESENTING TESTIMONY WILL SEPARATE FACT FROM FICTION. I AM INTERESTED IN HEARING BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE, FROM THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE BILL AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT IT. I AM SURE THAT THE WITNESSES WHO ARE WITH US TODAY WILL PROVIDE THAT BALANCE. THIS BILL, HR 3200, PROPOSES TO CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY THE WAY HEALTH CARE IS DELIVERED IN THIS COUNTRY AND EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS THE CORRECT INFORMATION. LIKEWISE, WE NEED TO KNOW HOW THE FEDERAL BILL WILL EFFECT NEW YORK STATE LAW. IN MY ROLE AS CHAIR OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON AGING, I AM PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN HOW THE PROPOSED REFORMS WILL IMPACT SENIOR CITIZENS. IN JULY I SENT A LETTER TO CONGRESS. MY LETTER INCLUDED MY CONCERNS THAT SECTION 1233 TARGETS SENIOR CITIZENS AND MAY PREEMPT NEW YORK STATE RULES AND PRACTICES. I STRESSED THAT THIS PROPOSED FEDERAL HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION’S IMPACT UPON THE ELDERLY CITIZENS OF NEW YORK STATE NEEDS TO BE SENSITIVE TO WHAT MAY BE CONSIDERED A “STATE’S RIGHTS” ISSUE, WHICH MAY BE BEST DEALT WITH AT THE STATE LEVEL, AND NOT IMPOSED BY WASHINGTON.

By Nicholas Schmidle Mark Stucky, the lead test pilot for SpaceShipTwo. “As a Marine Corps colonel once told me,” Stucky said, “ ‘If you want to be safe, go be a shoe salesman at Sears.’ ” Photograph by Dan Winters for The New Yorker t 5 .. on April 5th, Mark Stucky drove to an airstrip in Mojave, California, and gazed at A SpaceShipTwo, a sixty-foot-long craft that is owned by Virgin Galactic, a part of the Virgin Group. Painted white and bathed in oodlight, it resembled a sleek ghter plane, but its mission was to ferry thousands of tourists to and from space. Stucky had piloted SpaceShipTwo on two dozen previous test ights, including three of the four times that it had red its rocket booster, which was necessary to propel it into space. On October 31, 2014, he watched the fourth such ight from mission control; it crashed in the desert, killing his best friend. On this morning, Stucky would be piloting the fth rocket-powered ight, on a new iteration of the spaceship. A successful test would restore the program’s lustre. Stucky walked into Virgin Galactic’s large beige hangar. He is fty-nine and has a loose-legged stroll, tousled salt-and-pepper hair, and sunken, suntanned cheeks. In other settings, he could pass for a retired beachcomber. He wears the smirk of someone who feels certain that he’s having more fun than you are.

  • Statement by President Jim Towey August 29, 2018 There Is Nothing New About the Rift Between Pope Francis and Some Members of Th
    Statement by President Jim Towey August 29, 2018 There is nothing new about the rift between Pope Francis and some members of the Church hierarchy. The battle lines seemed to have formed five years ago shortly after the Pope ascended to the chair of Saint Peter. In 2013 in his first major publication, The Joy of the Gospel, the Pope described confreres who “ultimately trust only in their own powers and feel superior to others because they observe certain rules or remain intransigently faithful to a particular Catholic style.” Recently he quoted these same words in a letter to the faithful, Rejoice and Be Glad, and described “false prophets who use religion for their own purposes, to promote their own psychological or intellectual theories. God infinitely transcends us; he is full of surprises.” Yes, God is full of surprises. But the call for the Pope’s resignation by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano’ is not one of them. Neither is the challenge to the Pope’s authority by Raymond Cardinal Burke, an American prelate who has consistently opposed the direction Pope Francis has led the Church on certain matters. The release of the Archbishop’s manifesto seemed timed to inflict the maximum damage possible to the Pope’s credibility, and the choreographed chorus of support by others in league with them, was just as troubling. Contrary to the popular narrative, most conservative Catholics are not following suit and embracing their defiance, and certainly not on our campus. Ave Maria University is rightly known for our unqualified fidelity to the Church. We do this not because we are conservative (we are) but because this is the requirement of discipleship.
