New missal translation introduced in 2011 also an evangelization tool

Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl doesn't have a problem with the fact that there will be some missteps and some wrong words spoken during the first weeks of using the new English translation of the Roman Missal at Mass. "We are going to have to live with the fact that not every celebration is going to be perfect," the archbishop of Washington said during a Dec. 6 teleconference. "But that can be inviting to some people who are afraid they are going to do the wrong thing. They might say, 'That's the same struggle I'm having.'" Cardinal Wuerl, who co-wrote "The Mass: The Glory, the Mystery, the Tradition" with Mike Aquilina, joined in a panel discussion about the impact of the new translation, which went into use in the United States on the first Sunday of Advent, Nov. 27. As 2011 drew to a close, American Catholics were greeting the new missal translation with a mostly positive response and finding some unexpected spiritual benefits in the need to pay closer attention to the words spoken at Mass -- at least for a while.

» “So What?” Post Reflection Intercultural Communication-Jonathan Stopyra

I am not natural. I am a consequence and part of my culture, of my experiences, and my social constructed body. But, when do I realize that? When do I live my life aware of how I’m not “natural”? Very rarely, because, as I have learned from this class, one only really becomes aware of how cultural one is when one is engaging in intercultural communication or cross-cultural adaptation. It is this new awareness, this new mode of being, of self-destruction and re-construction, that drives my interest in intercultural communication and the messages of this class. It has changed my way of thinking by making me desire to engage more with other cultures so that I can learn more about myself, not through an ego or ethnocentric mode of self-exploration, but instead through self-exploration based on relationality.

It is here—self-exploration through relationality and communication—that I would like to turn in addressing why this course matters and what I learned from it. Realizing how vital self-exploration through relationality was a course-long process and, step-by-step, in this blog entry I plan on detailing the ways I arrived at this conclusion of why it matters.

Include Needful Words - Lingua Franca - The Chronicle of Higher Education

A close friend told me a few months ago that her 14-year-old son was reading Infinite Jest for fun. “He comes into the kitchen and says, ‘Listen to this, Mom!’ and then he quotes a passage from page 546 or something.” She sighed. “I never made it past page 200.”

We think of ourselves as living in the age of the excerpt. When pressed, most professors I know admit that they assign fewer pages of reading now than they did, say, 20 years ago. We share these statistics and sigh. Pressed further, we admit to skimming more ourselves, to reading short online articles rather than the lengthier printed versions, to choosing our leisure reading based in part on the lean word count of the book.

Interpreters in KBL say job is tough

There are only two men on the bench during a Korean basketball game that wear a suit and tie: the manager and the interpreter.

In the Korean Basketball League, each team has at least one overseas player and one interpreter.

Coaches say foreign players are crucial for their teams as they usually score the most points. And as the demand for foreign players grew, so did the importance of interpreters in the KBL.
