Nothing new here, just more allegations that Tennessee cheats, this time its Head Coach Phil Fulmer doing the cheating...
From Fulmer has week off ... from games:
"The meeting reportedly took place in the suburban Memphis law office of Phillip Shanks.
A deposition was taken there Monday from a private investigator who apparently interviewed former University of Tennessee football player-turned sports agent Tim McGee or someone who worked for him. The investigator alleged that former Volunteer players received improper payments and lines of credit during their playing careers.
The alleged players are tailback Travis Henry, defensive lineman John Henderson and offensive lineman Fred Weary.
This bombshell was dropped Thursday on the Finebaum radio show. The report was given by attorney Tommy Gallion, who represents former Alabama coaches Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams in their attempt to get their good names back in the wake of the Crimson Tide's NCAA probation.
The most startling allegation was that Vols head coach Phillip Fulmer was involved in arranging a $50,000 line of credit for Henderson. Fulmer has since denied the violation, telling the Knoxville News-Sentinel he might sue Gallion.
The most interesting thing now? Wait to see if the NCAA investigates the claims. "

But in the End the Great Marlin Wins!
What's left of him anyway...
If you are an English teacher or professor have your students read The Old Man and the Sea and watch the World Series--see if they can make the connections between big money and nature (the young Marlins).
From Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea:
"In the American League it is the Yankees as I said," the old man said happily.
"They lost today," the boy told him.
"That means nothing. The great DiMaggio is himself again."

Cardinal George Adds to Speculation
About the declining health of the Pope and specifically his lungs and ability to breathe.
From George saddened visit with pontiff 'might be the last':
"As the prince of the church bowed to kiss the hand of the old man who sits on the papal throne, he had a terrible thought.
'Is this the last time I'll see him?' Cardinal Francis George wondered.
'I've never seen him like this. It was touching,' Chicago's cardinal-archbishop said Thursday night a few minutes after the mass in St. Peter's Square celebrating Pope John Paul II's 25th anniversary as pontiff. 'I hadn't seen him in seven months or so, and when he tried to talk it was really sorrowful.'
Earlier in the day, George had greeted the 83-year-old pope personally in a meeting with about 150 other cardinals where John Paul II released a document about the ministry of bishops.
'If you can't walk, well, that's an inconvenience. Even if you can't express yourself, you could write. But if you can't breathe ...' the cardinal said, his thoughts drifting off as he chatted in a parlor of the Pontifical North American College on a hill above St. Peter's. As George talked about his latest encounter with the man the Italians know as 'Il Papa,' it seemed as if the cardinal was realizing that some of the rumors about his beloved pope's failing health, the ones that have been screaming across the headlines of newspapers around the world for the last year, may be true. Horribly true.
'There is reason to worry,' George said. 'He did take a turn for the worse, evidently, in the summer.'"

Happy Twenty-Fifth Annivesary to Pope John Paul II
To truly reflect on what a difference this pope has made to the world, pull out an atlas from 1978 and compare it to today. Countries under the former Soviet Union are free now and the Polish Cardinal who was elected twenty five years ago today has changed the face of the earth!
Thanks To Amy for Testing My Pope Knowledge
BBC NEWS | Europe | What do you know about the Pope?:
"You got 10 right!
Cannonisation beckons - as an inveterate creator of new saints the Pontiff may even have his sights set on you already "
I missed the language one--I picked 12...

Pope Releases Apostolic Exhortation
On The Bishop, Servant of the Gospel of Jesus Christ For the Hope of the World...
There is great stress on bishops being proclaimers of the virtue of Hope, that they be prayerful and that they exercise their office by giving of themselves fully to the task at hand. In other words, imitate Pope John Paul II.
See Post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation Pastores gregis for the whole document.

Cardinal Arinze: Priests Should Not Inflict Themselves on Congregation!
From CNS NEWS BRIEFS Oct-15-2003:
"'The truth is that genuine inculturation has nothing to do with the product of the over-fertile imagination of an enthusiastic priest who concocts something on Saturday night and inflicts it on the innocent Sunday morning congregation now being used as a guinea pig,' he said. Cardinal Arinze was a keynote speaker at the Oct. 7-11 national meeting of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions. "<
