He must also halt the stream of people leaving a church indifferent to teachings they no longer find relevant. Under John Paul, the church’s central authority grew, often to dismay of bishops. Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI, will have to decide whether to keep up the kind of foreign travel that was a hallmark of John Paul’s papacy, with his 104 pilgrimages.

OPINIONSThe Implosion of America Here are a few statistics to showyou what we’re really doing to theworld. As of today, we are using over150 million barrels of oil every day.One barrel of oil is equal to 42 U.S.gallons and there are 7.481 gallons ina cubic foot. So this means that thereare 5.62 cubic feet per gallon of oil.When you add all of this up, this is26.69 million cubic feet per day takenout of the earth. Using this 150 mil-lion barrels of oil daily releases over10 billion metric tons of carbonmonoxide into the atmosphere. This extraction of oil puts a holein the earth of 166.81 acres, 12"deep every day. This makesalmost a 1 trillion cubic foot hole inthe earth every year, just from oildepletion. Taking all of this into account,and then adding over 100 trillioncubic feet of natural gas depleted in2004, and 3.7 billion megatons ofcoal worldwide, how long can theearth really take this? I realize thesenumbers are too large to reallycomprehend, but that is somewhatthe point. Is this where tsunamiscome from? Maybe the oil acts as acoolant for the earth like oil does foran engine. Where do you think thehuge sinkholes in the surface of theearth that pop up all over the worldcome from? Why don’t we hearabout this? Are we just a virus eatingaway at the earth, not giving any-thing back to it? There are alternatives to usingoil, some of which are solar power,wind power, among others. Weseem to spend all of our moneytrying to go to other planets whenwe don’t try to fix the one we liveon. Here is an example on how our

- Patrick Nelson Carter, Contibuting Writersystem works for us. When the railsystem in the U.S. was first started,the big automotive corporationspurposely bought them up andburned them, making us dependenton them (excellent business move,but not so good for the nation).Here’s an idea; why not just take themoney that we use on NASA forone year ( I don’t believe we wouldnotice if it were eliminated for oneyear or even more) and put it into amono-rail system like Europe has orsome sort of mass transportationsystem? This might even improveour community and cultural life aswell, which has been totally compro-mised by modern technology. Forexample, we could use the magneticlevitation train or any rail system thatcould be proven worthy. Wind power is pollutant freeonce the system is established and itis endless, so why don’t we placewindmills at every school district thathas sufficient wind? Did you knowthere is as much wind power in NewYork as California? This has beendone in other areas, such as SpiritLake, Iowa that put in a single largescale turbine (windmill) in theirelementary field lawn. It will bepaid off after 14 years and then theyexpect to earn 140 thousanddollars a year that they otherwisewouldn’t have. This is estimated tosave 3400 barrels of oil a year.

Social Security WhaSocial Security WhaSocial Security WhaSocial Security WhaSocial Security Whattttt’’’’’s the Futurs the Futurs the Futurs the Futurs the Future?e?e?e?e?The Social Security Scam

- Patrick Nelson Carter, Contibuting Writer

First we would have toexamine the past to fully appreciatethe present situation and understandthe future for Social Security. In1974, 61% of SS benefits paid outwere to those over the age of 65,and the rest went to the disabled andtheir dependents. Now, only around29% of Americans are collecting SSsolely based on age for benefits.Social Security is not mainly aretirement plan anymore; it is morea plan to help the disabled andtheir dependents. Many people areunder the impression that SocialSecurity should be there to pay themwhen they’re older, because theypaid in. But it was designed for thebenefit of society as a whole, andnot for the individual. All U.S. citizens should pay apercentage of their income to SS,without a limit over which you don’thave to pay any more. For instance,In 1965, over 30% of U.S. citizenshad income over the cap. Here in2005, it’s only 5% who make overtoday’s $87,000 cap and pay 0% toSS on any income over that. Yetwe could still recover in one year, ifthe rich would only pay their fairshare. Why should the poor have topay more of a percentage of theirsmall income than the rich do? Thecommon person is paying 7.65%, asis your employer. This really meansthat you are paying 14.3% (morethan your fair share) of your grossincome for Social Security. Accord-ing to the Social Security Adminis-tration, our debt will be $3.7 trillionin 75 years. In 2003, over 168,000 peopleclaimed over one million dollars intaxableincome. If you take the SS $87Kcap (which shouldn’t exist anyway)- and moved it to one million dollars- in one year, Social Security would

be solvent (meaning stable) foraround 250 years. If the millionairesonly paid 7.65% (half of the rest ofus), we would have almost $13trillion extra in one year. Imaginewhat would happen if we all wereequal in the eyes of the government. Just think of what could be donefor the U.S. and its people with thismoney. How about a rail system orpublic transportation system likeEurope? (oops, sorry, this would onlybenefit the ordinary person, not therich, so that won’t be done). This is basic high school math.The people we elected should atleast be able to accomplish that. Ithink they’ve accomplished beyondthis by working out how to get mostfor them and their fellow richwithout thinking for the people whoare paying their exorbitant salaries.The U.S. median income was$32,460 in 2002 for a family and$13,190 for an individual and yet wesee politicians getting hundreds ofthousands of dollars. So what exactly is PresidentBush’s real scam? Using his plan, hewill have the average Americantrying to put what they can into thestock market inhopes of retirement and who saysthat will be there when we retire?What it really does is invest moneyin the stock market to make theeconomy look as though it’s boom-ing. This puts more money into largecompanies and towards the richpeople trying to control your life andfuture. At the same time this ismaking the President appear asthough he has improved theeconomy, using political smoke andmirrors to produce a magical decep-tion to the average American.

From Dorm Room to Bedroom:New Book Helps Grads Cope with Reality of Moving Back Home

(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE) — Oncethe bags are packed, the commencementspeeches and photo ops are long over,and the tearful goodbyes with friendsare all said and done, most grads expectto move out on their own. But for manystudents, that‘s simply not an option. Infact, more graduates than ever areopting to move back home rather thanbraving life on their own.The latest U.S. census figures show that25 percent of Americans between theages of 18 and 34 are living with theirparents (over 18 million adults). Andaccording to MonsterTrak‘s 2004survey, 57% all college students will findthemselves knocking on their family‘sdoor come graduation. After all, with astronomical tuitioncosts resulting in mind-boggling loans,credit card debt at an all-time high,housing costs in major metropolitanareas skyrocketing, and a flat job marketamong other factors, what‘s a newlyminted college graduate to do?”Bustling metros like New York, Chicagoand San Francisco beckon to recentgraduates with the promise of greateropportunities and excitement,” saysElina Furman, author of ”BoomerangNation: How to Survive Living with yourParents the Second Time Around”(Fireside, May 10, 2005; $14.00) and aformer boomeranger herself. ”But it‘sthese very same areas that are virtuallyimpossible for anyone making under$40K a year to afford. And as we allknow, most starting salaries are farlower.” A 2002-2003 National Student LoanSurvey by the Nellie Mae Foundationreported that undergraduate studentloan debts have risen 66 percent since1997 to an average of about $18,900 perstudent. And when one considers thatthe average credit card debt for graduat-ing seniors is now estimated at around$3,000, moving home often makes sense,especially if it means paying down debtor saving up money.

Thankfully, many graduates movinghome today will find that the stigma ofliving at home has greatly diminished.But even so, there are a myriad ofchallenges to deal with, includingnavigating tense family dynamics,managing finances, dealing with privacyissues, and dating. “In Boomerang Nation, I strive toeradicate the notion that there issomething wrong with people who moveback home,“ Furman points out.“Unfortunately, even though so many oftheir peers are in the same boat, manyboomerangers feel isolated and experi-ence a loss of confidence upon return-ing home.“ And she should know. After spendingtwo years in her family home, she spentanother five years living with her motherand sister as roommates, only to moveout a few years ago. It was Furman‘sexperience with the many trials andtribulations of living with a parent thatinspired her to write this timely, informa-tion-packed guide. “I wanted to write a book that wouldeliminate the stigma associated withliving at home. While the statistics pointto millions of young people nesting withtheir parents, there simply was notenough information to bring awarenessto this topic. I even started a website(www.boomerangnation.com) that offersadvice for boomerangers and a much-needed sense of community.“ As a successful author of more thantwenty books and a popular speaker,Furman is planning to spread the wordthrough a college tour and speakingengagements around the country. “While some boomerangers manageto avoid the pitfalls of moving backhome again, many don’t really preparethemselves adequately for the practical,economic, and emotional realities ofmoving back in with Mom and Dad. Mygoal is to help grads realize than notonly can they go home again, they cansurvive and thrive there.”

(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)— Goodnews is ahead for 2005 college gradu-ates. This year‘s job market for entry-level workers demonstrates a markedlyimproved economy, with job opportuni-ties available in a variety of sectors. Asthe leading careers site for collegestudents and young alumni,MonsterTRAK today announced theresults of its annual graduation surveyof college students, recent graduatesand the employers who will be hiringthem. Among the findings, 80 percent ofcompanies surveyed with 5,000 or moreemployees plan to hire 2005 graduatesthis Spring/Summer and a remarkable 90percent of companies with 10,000 ormore employees plan to hire 2005graduates. MonsterTRAK is the studentdivision of Monster(R), the leadingglobal online careers property andflagship brand of Monster Worldwide,Inc. (NASDAQ: MNST). 2005‘s college graduates are alsofeeling more confident about the jobmarket, with 83 percent expecting atleast one job offer upon graduation.This is compared to last year‘s survey,which showed that 51 percent of collegeseniors did not expect a single offerupon graduation. ”Compared to recent years, we areseeing strong growth in the number ofjobs available for new grads, particularlyin sales and support services such asfinance and accounting,” said MichelleForker, Senior Vice President, MonsterCampus. ”It‘s also heartening to seesuch a high percentage of large compa-nies hiring college graduates this year -a sign that they are confident of theirbusiness and revenue growth in 2005.Large companies tend to hire a greaternumber of workers in general, so theseemployers may prove to be a goldminefor 2005 grads.” As an example,PricewaterhouseCoopers, a Big Fouraccounting firm and a top employer ofrecent college graduates in the nation, isincreasing its hiring of college graduatesthis year. ”We are hiring 24 percent moreentry-level graduates than last year, and55 percent more entry-level graduatesthan two years ago,” said Amy Van Kirk,National Campus Recruiting Director forPricewaterhouseCoopers. ”Though thejob prospects for the class of 2005 arefar better than recent years, it‘s stillimportant for students to take advan-tage of the time they have left beforegraduation to ensure they are at theforefront of these great opportunities.”

MonsterTRAK 2005 CollegeGraduation Survey HighlightsToday‘s market certainly shows animproved economy with significant jobopportunities for entry-level workers.

Survey findings reveal:— Companies are beginning to hireentry-level candidates with the im-proved job market, with 64 percent of allemployers surveyed planning to hireentry-level workers this spring/summer.In addition, 56 percent of employersexpect an average starting salary over

(b)— While 48 percent of the 2004 gradu-ates surveyed in this year‘s surveyfound their job within four months ofgraduation, 45 percent of 2004 graduatesare still living at home with their parents.

RIAA Targets New Piracy Epidemic OnSpecial High-Speed Campus Network

(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)— Inresponse to an emerging epidemic ofmusic theft on a specialized, high-speeduniversity computer network known asInternet2, the Recording IndustryAssociation of America (RIAA), onbehalf of the major record companies,have filed copyright infringementlawsuits against 405 students at 18different colleges across the country. Internet2 is an advanced networkcreated by participating colleges anduniversities for important academicresearch. Through the use of a file-sharing application known as “i2hub,“however, Internet2 is increasinglybecoming the network of choice forstudents seeking to steal copyrightedsongs and other works on a massivescale. Downloading from i2hub viaInternet2 is extremely fast — in mostcases, less than five minutes for a movieor less than 20 seconds for a song.Students find i2hub especially appealingbecause they mistakenly believe theirillegal file-sharing activities can’t bedetected in the closed environment ofthe Internet2 network. “This next generation of the Internetis an extraordinarily exciting tool for

researchers, technologists and manyothers with valuable legitimate uses,“said Cary Sherman, President, RIAA.“Yet, we cannot let this high-speednetwork become a zone of lawlessnesswhere the normal rules don’t apply. Wehave worked very constructively withthe university community, improvingeducational efforts at colleges acrossthe country, expanding partnershipsbetween schools and legal onlineservices and providing a clearinghousefor expertise on technological anti-piracy solutions. We cannot let rampantillegal downloading on Internet2jeopardize this collaborative work. Bytaking this initial action, we are puttingstudents and administrators everywhereon notice that there are consequencesfor unlawful uses of this specialnetwork.“ In addition to the 18 campuses whosestudents are being sued, the RIAA hasevidence of i2hub infringement atanother 140 schools in 41 states. Whilethese schools were not included in theinitial round of lawsuits, letters are beingsent to each university presidentalerting them to the illegal activityoccurring on their campuses.

I am a huge Brian Wilson fan,maybe it’s because he founded thelegendary BeachBoys. This albumjust wasn’t thatgreat. His newremake of ‘GoodVibrations’ isexcellent. Thesound quality ofthis album isoutstanding butthe songs aren’tthat great except‘Good Vibrations.’ ‘Mrs.O’Leary’s Cow’ is one of the worstsongs I’ve ever heard from BrianWilson in his entire career. ‘Heroesand Villains’ is redone on this albumand it’s just as bad as the versionhe did with the Beach Boys. That isthe only song that I really don’t like

that the Beach Boys ever did. Hewrote the song with Van Dyke

Parks who in myopinion is a lousywriter. His lyricshave no meaningat all. ‘Surf’s Up’appears on thealbum, which waswritten by Brian’snow deceasedbrother CarlWilson. This songis decent, but it

just isn’t that good. This album ishorrible compared to his Imagina-tion album, which was excellentthrough and through. I give thisalbum one star. I give it one starbecause ‘Good Vibrations’ is theonly good song. Otherwise, I wouldgive the album no stars.

At Unity House, it’s all about the people they serve. However, once a year, it’s thepeople who give that great service who take center stage. Recently, Unity Househonored the people who make it happen day to day with a staff appreciationcelebration at The Springside Inn in Auburn.
