Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Saint Mary Parish · Evanston, Illinois 5 Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Each year a number of people express their desire to become members of the Catholic Church. Or perhaps they are individuals already baptized and want to partake in receiving the Eucharist and complete their initiation through the sacrament of Confirmation. They are engaged or married to a Catholic, their child is preparing for a sacrament, or they are just searching for the “right” church. These individuals are experiencing the call of God in their lives, but all that is needed is a little encouragement to take that first step. They are your spouses, relatives, co-workers, neighbors and friends. They just need that word of encouragement, and you may be that person to offer it. Look around and see if that person is someone close to you. Pray for them and invite them to join us! If you or anyone is interested in The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) or need more information, please give Deacon Dennis Robak a call at 847 864-0333. 6 Saint Mary Parish · Evanston, Illinois July 15, 2018 RESPECT LIFE MASS INTENTIONS Murderous Indifference Saturday, July 14 5:00 Intentions of the Pope Last week during an ecumeni- Sunday, July 15 cal prayer meeting for peace 8:00 † Souls in Purgatory at the Mediterranean coastal 9:30 † Joe Villa city of Bari, Italy, the Pope sin- 11:00 Intentions of the Pope gled out indifference as a sig- nificant cause of the Middle Monday, July 16 East’s current plight. 8:00 For Our Parishioners Tuesday, July 17 This region, he said, is “the 8:00 † Souls in Purgatory Paul Catholic Haring, News Service crossroads of civilizations and Wednesday, July 18 the cradle of the great mon- 8:00 Intentions of the Pope otheistic religions,” a place in which “our very souls Thursday, July 19 are rooted.” 8:00 For Our Parishioners Friday, July 20 And yet, he said, it has been “covered by dark 8:00 † Souls in Purgatory clouds of war, violence and destruction, instances of Saturday, July 21 occupation and varieties of fundamentalism, forced 8:00 Intentions of the Pope migration and neglect.” 5:00 † Dean Mitchell Sunday, July 22 All this, he prophetically warned, has taken place 8:00 For Our Parishioners “amid the complicit silence of many.” 9:30 † Joe Villa 11:00 † Annela Auguste Indifference kills, and we desire to lift up our voic- es in opposition to this murderous indifference.

  • Thinking About Journalism with Superman 132
    Thinking about Journalism with Superman 132 Thinking about Journalism with Superman Matthew C. Ehrlich Professor Department of Journalism University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL [email protected] Superman is an icon of American popular culture—variously described as being “better known than the president of the United States [and] more familiar to school children than Abraham Lincoln,” a “triumphant mixture of marketing and imagination, familiar all around the world and re-created for generation after generation,” an “ideal, a hope and a dream, the fantasy of millions,” and a symbol of “our universal longing for perfection, for wisdom and power used in service of the human race.”1 As such, the character offers “clues to hopes and tensions within the current American consciousness,” including the “tensions between our mythic values and the requirements of a democratic society.”2 This paper uses Superman as a way of thinking about journalism, following the tradition of cultural and critical studies that uses media artifacts as tools “to size up the shape, character, and direction of society itself.”3 Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent is of course a reporter for a daily newspaper (and at times for TV news as well), and many of his closest friends and colleagues are also journalists. However, although many scholars have analyzed the Superman mythology, not so many have systematically analyzed what it might say about the real-world press. The paper draws upon Superman’s multiple incarnations over the years in comics, radio, movies, and television in the context of past research and criticism regarding the popular culture phenomenon.

    Paralysis This striking image perfectly captures the momentum that drives the Reeve Foundation. It was part of our first-ever national advertising campaign, launched in 2008 with a series of provocative images and a revitalized brand identity, including a new logo and tagline. These creative elements were the collective genius of BBDO New York, which offered its talents entirely pro bono. Omnicom Group companies contributing to this effort included BBDO New York, PHD, MMI, Atmosphere BBDO, DesignWorks, EyeWonder, and Outdoor Media Alliance. We are humbled by their generosity and honored by their commitment to our mission. “I’m more impressed by the heroism of ordinary individuals, or people who find the courage to persevere and overcome obstacles every day. Sometimes you think about the heroism it takes to live a daily life because for so many people, just living daily life is enormously challenging. So, I don’t think of larger than life individuals. I think about ordinary people who find the strength to endure [as heroes].” – Christopher Reeve Table of Contents Message from the Chairman 6 Message from the President & CEO 8 Research 10 Individual Research Grants International Research Consortium on Spinal Cord Injury North American Clinical Trials Network NeuroRecovery Network Quality of Life 14 Paralysis Resource Center Quality of Life Grants Multicultural Outreach Advocacy 18 Military Programs 20 Team Reeve 21 Chapters 22 Magic Events 24 Corporate Friends 26 Donor List 28 Financial Statements 35 Message from the Chairman Dickens was right. to fund our military program.

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

MARTA BRODSKYt "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man." -Albert Einstein' INTRODUCTION On May 27, 1995, forty-two year old Christopher Reeve was catapulted from his horse during an equestrian competition, cracking his first two vertebrae and damaging the delicate nerves that travel through the spine-the central nervous system.2 Having miraculously survived this accident, Reeve was, nevertheless, rendered completely and permanently paralyzed. 3 Given the highly specialized structure of cells that compose the central nervous system, once damaged, they do not regenerate, and there is currently no treatment, with either drugs or surgery, that can replicate their critical role as carriers of neural messages. 4 As a result, Reeve, along with a quarter of f J.D.

  • Inductee Biography: Christopher Reeve
    INDUCTEE BIOGRAPHY: CHRISTOPHER REEVE Superman Hall of Heroes inductee Christopher Reeve held many professions throughout his career, including actor, director and activist. Reeve not only played Superman on the big screen, he also showed the same ‘Man of Steel’ character away from the cameras. Since being paralyzed in an equestrian competition in 1995, Reeve not only put a human face on spinal cord injury, he motivated neuroscientists around the world to conquer the most complex diseases and conditions of the brain and central nervous system. Whether in a cape or in a chair, Reeve was a hero who exhibited unwavering courage and a tireless work ethic to deliver on his mission. Christopher Reeve made his first appearance on stage at the Williamstown Theatre Festival at the age of 15. After graduating from Cornell University in 1974, he pursued his dream of acting, studying at Juilliard under the legendary John Houseman. Reeve made his Broadway debut opposite Katharine Hepburn in A Matter of Gravity in 1976 and then went on to distinguish himself in a variety of stage, screen and television roles. Film credits include: Superman in 1978 and its subsequent sequels, Deathtrap, Somewhere in Time, The Bostonians, Street Smart, Speechless, Noises Off, Above Suspicion and the Oscar-nominated The Remains of the Day. Stage credits include: The Marriage of Figaro, Fifth of July, My Life, Summer and Smoke, Love Letters, and The Aspern Papers. Reeve was also a bestselling author and an award winning director. In 1999, Reeve became the Chairman of the Board of the Christopher Reeve Foundation. The Reeve Foundation, a global, nonprofit organization which supports research to develop effective treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury and other central nervous system disorders.

  • Joel Dean Perfectamundo ENGLISH
    Joel Dean Perfectamundo January 18 - March 2, 2019 “Will it cost the world's savings to transform humans and will we be left with one creature at the end?”1 ​ ​ On May 27, 1995, during a dressage competition, the actor Christopher Reeve was thrown from his horse, Eastern Express, nicknamed “Buck”. Witnesses said that the horse made a refusal while beginning the third fence jump and suddenly stopped. Reeve fell forward off the horse. He landed head first on the far side of the fence, shattering his first and second vertebrae. This cervical spinal injury paralyzed him from the neck down and halted his ability to breathe without the assistance of a respirator. At the time of the accident, Reeve was best known for his role as Superman in the original Superman film series, which began in 1978. While preparing for the role he’d rejected the idea of wearing fake muscles under the Superman suit and instead opted to go through an intense two-month training regimen that former British weightlifting champion David Prowse supervised. Prowse, also an actor, performed the ​ ​ physical component of the role of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars films, the first of which premiered a year prior to Superman in 1977. The vocal component of Darth Vader was performed by James Earl Jones, a 47 year old actor from Arkabutla, Mississippi. Jones suffered a stutter for most of his childhood, and accounts that the affliction was so bad that he was effectively a mute from his first day of school through the year he entered high school, when Jones’s teacher, Donald Crouch, took an interest in his poetry and encouraged him to end ​ ​ his silence.
