During this time period I heard papers presented live from South Korea, Australia, Scotland, Canada, Arizona, Michigan, Maryland and Texas. And all...
At the time I write this, over one-hundred thirty people have been injured and at least two killed after bombings that took place in Boston following the Boston Marathon. At this time, no suspects have been identified publicly, nor have any groups stepped forward to claim responsibility. In a post-9/11 United States of America, one that has seen a decade of warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq, most people would reasonably assume that this attack was...

This Wednesday, the cloudy puffs of the fumata bianca from the Sistine chapel told the world that, in unexpectedly quick passion, the Catholic Church would have a new world leader. At the age of 76, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, former leader of the Arch Diosese of Buenos Aires, will become a Pope of many firsts. Not only is he the first non-European Pontifex of Rome, but he is also the very first Jesuit[1] to bear the...

As entertainment magnets, American (and let’s be honest, most of the Western world) spectators love a good action flick, especially when it master’s the elements of suspense, mystery, and the under-dog fight for justice. Just this last year, movie theaters supplied a new installment to the Bourne Legacy series, expanding Robert Ludlum’s off-the-radar super-agent series with the creation of new characters, and new plots.
