Cavaliers team is one that can compete for Cleveland in the coming years. The purpose of the photo contest is to visually reflect a theme or idea that demonstrates the life ofTim Russert. Themes will vary from year to year. The theme of this contest is taken from the first book he wrote, Big Russ & Me. Mr. Russert believed that there was nothing as important as being a good father, a lesson he learned from his Father, Big Russ.

Theme: Fathers and Lessons of Life. Although it would seem easy to choose a political theme for this contest in the year of a Presidential election, the theme will reflect the person of Tim Russert rather than his career. In his first book, Big Russ & Me, he says:

“I hope this book will encourage readers to think about things they learned from their father. … Whatever we achieve and whoever we are, we stand on their shoulders…Hardly a day goes by when I don’t remember to rely on something Big Russ taught me. ”

In an interview in Parade Magazine in 2011, Luke Russert said about his Father: “He was not only my best friend, but my compass. While he was alive, he guided me with his actions and advice. Since he’s been gone, those “lessons of life,” as he once called them, have continued to give me counsel and comfort.”

To read the article in full: www.parade.com/celebrity/2011/06/luke-russert-lessons-from-my-father.html

Photos should either 1. reflect the unique relationship of fathers with their children or 2. a life lesson taught to you by your father.

1. Examples include but are but not limited to: Fathers showing encouragement or teaching their kids anything- school work or sports, fathers caring for or holding or comforting their children, fathers attending events in which their children participate or perform, Fathers celebrating their children’s birthdays, fathers spending quiet time with their kids, making models or playing board games – sharing time, father holding newborn, iconic ideas such as father walking and talking holding child’s hand, teaching to walk showing kids dependence on father..etc.

2. Examples include but are not limited to these descriptions. These images are more psychological and not literal. Your father is not in the image but the photo demonstrates and “idea” of what was taught to you by your father, images which call up: being prepared for the road ahead, facing the future, standing tall as a young adult, being prepared by having a solid foundation, expectations of excellence, respect for others, optimism, being a hero in your own life, helping others – charity and kindness, love and self respect, tenacity-never give up on your dreams, leadership, the importance of balanced judgments, maintaining integrity…etc.

Each photo should include a caption and approximately a 150 word explanation of how the photo captures the theme. Photos will be displayed in the O’Mally Center Atrium the last two weeks of the semester. Then, will be displayed in the Tully Atrium of the Library the last two weeks of May and the month of June. Winning photos will be permanently displayed in the Russert Department and on our website.

The Kremlin has been shaken by the recent emergence of the protest movement among middle-class Muscovites, who only a few months ago were considered to be largely politically indifferent.

The Carroll News Informing the Carroll Community Since 1925 Editorial 17 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com March 1, 2012 Editorial Contraceptive controversy On Feb. 14, 47 faculty members signed and sent a letter to the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. petitioning the University’s policy on insurance coverage of contra- ception. The current policy of the Catholic Church prohibits the use of any contraceptives. The insurance policy of the University is consistent with the Church’s view and does not cover the use of contraceptives for some purposes. As the faculty letter states, the purpose for the use of contraceptives would be for the sake of women and children’s health. The aggressive words of Iowa Bishop R. Walker Nickless and Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik are those of a Church too firmly stuck in the past. While it is important for Church leaders to adhere to the fundamental beliefs and principles of the Church, they must ensure that the Church is current with is- sues, especially the health and wellness of the world’s people. Zubik says that Obama’s health care policies are Cartoon by Emily Day damning to all Catholics.
