Convention News – Monday, August 19
99th Annual National Convention Calgary
Words of the opening hymn "All are Welcome" rang through the room as we opened the day with celebration of the Eucharist. In his homily celebrant Archbishop Gerard Pettipas (Grouard-McLennan) reflected on the gospel story of the rich young man who asked Jesus what should he do to inherit eternal life. He invited us to enter the story to imagine being there, watching or participating. He focused on Jesus' look of love which enters into other gospel stories, a look that invites into deeper relationship, an invitation that the young man despite his goodness is unable to accept as he is unable to let go. Archbishop noted that there are many things in life that we want but do we REALLY want them. Desire is not enough; Jesus asks a great deal and we must be ready to sacrifice. Discipleship requires a focus on Christ to sustain a relationship that is more valuable than anything else in the world. We begin with the desire to be His disciple.
National President Anne Marie Gorman opened with the acknowledgment of treaty land and people. Business was then interrupted by a traditional Calgary welcome carried out by the Calgary Airport White Hatters, a tradition since the 50s. Members of the national executive/board were given white cowboy hats, a symbol of hospitality. They were asked to stand, raise their right hands and solemnly swear that, "I, having just arrived in the only genuine Western city in Canada, namely Calgary, will be duly treated to exceptional amounts of hospitality, and do solemnly swear to extend this hospitality to all I meet hereafter." Having sworn, they were asked to raise hats and say, "Yahoo!"
National Spiritual Advisor Bishop Stephen Jensen (Prince George) began his message with, "Howdy Gals, I just moseyed over from the West". He then drew attention to our home, lives and nature as God's gifts and a reminder of the stewardship that we must exercise. Our home is in common and includes the supernatural environment of the church. The League is an expression of that common home, based on faith, hope and charity. Implementation of new steps in the League is an opportunity to work together, building a common home where we find friendship and cooperate to make God's home.
Greetings were brought to the assembly by representatives of the Presbyterian Women's Missionary Society, the United Church Women, the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada and the Women's Inter-church Council of Canada.
Honorary Life Member Irene Lefort spoke about the Catholic Women's Leadership Foundation, quoting from the Spring issue of The Canadian League magazine. (If you haven't read it, now's the time). The first group has graduated and a new group has begun studies. The foundation has an independent board with CWL representation; Life Member Cecile Miller is the League's new representative. Irene asked for three things from the League: Pray, Donate, Participate.
Maribeth Stewart Blogoslawski, World Union of Catholic Women's Organizations (WUCWO) Vice President General and Regional Vice President for North America, and President of the National Council Of Catholic Women (United States), brought greetings and read a letter from the WUCWO President General. She also gave an update on current WUCWO activities. A former WUCWO President General, Ma Del Pilar Bellosillo, is a candidate for canonization. In terms of the environment, WUCWO is advocating clean ups every Saturday in September and encouraging the involvement of school children. If League councils wish to participate in this effort, they are asked to send photographs of their clean up efforts to WUCWO (info@wucwo.org).
The provincial presidents' reports featured many common themes and activities, but each conveyed the distinct flavour of her respective region. The reports contain much valuable information, food for thought and innovative projects. PLAN to read them in The Canadian League magazine this fall; they are worth the read!
Anne Marie Gorman's report gave details of a very busy year, travelling the country and attending many meetings at home and abroad. She exhorted us to never underestimate how valuable it is to be with each other and to become better listeners to the Spirit. Again, check out this report in the fall edition of the magazine.
National Secretary-Treasurer Janet McLean asked, "What would an organization do without a secretary or treasurer? National would do just fine thanks to the office staff." She noted two fee increases, to convention registration and to life memberships.
Executive Director Kim Scammell's report featured a great wind analogy in talking about strategic planning. She mentioned staff changes and discontinuation of the toll free number. See full report this fall.
Three informative standing committee reports from National First Vice President and Chairperson of Spiritual Development Shari Guinta, National President-Elect and Chairperson of Organization Fran Lucas and National Chairperson of Christian Family Life Pat Deppiesse were presented. Read all about them in the fall magazine. To entice you to read, Fran has some great ideas for Christmas gifts.
The assembly approved sending a letter to the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops commending the conference for its document Protecting Minors against Sexual Abuse: A Call to the Catholic Faithful in Canada for Healing, Reconciliation, and Transformation.
The first resolution, under the standing committee of Christian family life, Resolution 2019.01 Canada to Honour its Commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was presented, debated and adopted. The resolution calls for the federal government to honour its commitment to the Convention by providing legal protection to children before birth.
Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) Executive Director Alex Schadenberg described the League as a group of women who care about people. In the midst of a cultural push for euthanasia, we need to push back by telling stories of those with direct experience. He described euthanasia as the abandonment of the human person at the time of greatest need, not as freedom or choice. Canada needs to share its experience with others. Compassionate care programs are needed. We can help EPC by donating Air Miles®. A cheque for $18,235.52 was presented to Alex.
The afternoon opening prayer had the theme "Come, Walk on the Water With Me" and featured a beautiful meditative visual musical on screen.
The afternoon ended with a prayerful service commissioning eleven new life members: Shirley Christo, Chantal Devine, Marie-Therese Lamphier, Linda McLinton, Susan Melchiorre, Margaret Schwab, Ruby Sharpe, Ana Sousa, Barbara Thuen, Anna Tremblay and Anne Vincelli.
What do CWL members do after a day of reports and business? They PARTY! The Western Shindig lived up to its name featuring traditional Alberta beef and beans, singing cowboys, photo-ops with props, rope swinging cowboys, branding, great line dancing and a country band, the Deputies. Members enthusiastically accepted the invitation to learn to line dance, becoming remarkably proficient in steps such as the cowboy strut. They sang along, clapped and danced with great energy and delight. Cowboy hats and western wear were everywhere. YAHOO!

Ashes: Pink-ball Tests favour England – Mitchell Johnson
Adelaide hosted the first day-night Ashes Test in 2017
Changing the Ashes schedule to include a second pink-ball Test would give England an advantage, says former Australia bowler Mitchell Johnson.
Melbourne, venue for the third match, is an option to stage the fifth as a day-nighter, with the second Test in Adelaide also set to use a pink ball.
"I worry about the pink-ball Test," said Johnson. "It could be a very different series."
England's pace bowlers have traditionally struggled with the red Australian Kookaburra ball, which offers less movement than the Dukes used in the UK.
"The red Kookaburra doesn't tend to swing here, the pink ones do," added left-armer Johnson, who took 313 wickets in 73 Tests including 37 in Australia's 5-0 series win of 2013-14.
"The pink-ball Tests favour England with their bowling attack. They know how to use the swinging ball.
"Their batsmen play the moving ball better than the Australians."
Australia have won all eight day-night matches they have played at home, including the second Test of the last Ashes series down under.
"It's not to say the Aussies aren't great with the pink ball – their record is phenomenal," said Johnson.
"England are slightly better, how they control it, how they play it. They will probably have a fair bit of confidence."
Even without the addition of a second day-nighter, alterations to the traditional schedule could aid England, who have won only four Tests in Australia this century.
The first Test is usually in Brisbane, where England have not won since 1986, and the third in Perth, where they have won only once in 14 attempts. On three of the last four tours they have been 3-0 down after three matches.
Although they still must travel to Brisbane for the first Test, they will go to the Gabba knowing Australia were defeated by India in January for a first loss at that ground in 23 years.
After that comes the pink-ball match in Adelaide, then third and fourth Tests in Melbourne and Sydney, where England have a much better record.
"It's a really important first Test," said Johnson. "If England win that first Test it will put a huge amount of pressure on Australia."

"When I saw each frame as a unit I remembered something from my youth: as a young person I could completely concentrate on each frame of the comic book. I could see every line and gesture as if it were part of a sole painting hanging in the center of a blank wall. This, I thought, might be what separates me from my younger self. Now I look at the whole page, read far too quickly, and move on before seeing what Jack Kirby saw when he set down his images forty years ago.
And so I increased the size of each frame and I printed them, as large as possible. The result was a return to my childhood. In isolating the drawings of Jack Kirby I was able to see them with clearer, if not childlike, eyes."
A few years ago I picked up Maximum Fantastic Four, an impressive and fascinating comic book experiment.
The idea was conceived and shepherded by author Walter Mosley, as excerpted above, in an attempt to rediscover what it was about comic books - specifically the early Marvel Comics of the 1960s, and even more specifically the earliest issues of The Fantastic Four - that so affected him as a child. I think we can all relate: Whatever we may think of, and to whatever degree we may enjoy, the comics we currently read, it's usually not with the same sense of magic and wonder with which we read when we were young.
Part of this is certainly due to us being older, and wiser, and less easily open to the wild, magical charms of these tales; when asked about the Golden Age of Comics, Mark Waid's famous answer is that the Golden Age is the comics you read when you were twelve years old. But Mosley also hits the nail on the head when he brings up the issue of relative size. When we were children, lying on the floor, the comic book spread flat in front of us, the pictures seemed huge. And every picture, every frozen moment in time, seemed an entire world ... if you just looked closely enough.
This is also why I can't help but scoff when someone invariably complains about how short comics are these days; that they can read through an entire comic book in five minutes. News flash: Your reading speed is up to YOU. I picture these same goons making a speed run through an art gallery or museum, only glancing at each work to get the barest needed data: "Good. Good. Eh. Good. Weird. Lame. Fine. Good."
I can't say I'm never prone to the same behavior, and you can see why; it is in fact possible to make the words in comic books your focus, only glancing at the pictures to give us the necessary context - who, what, where, when - in which to frame those words. And a convincing argument could be made that's as it should be; that, like the rhythm section in a band, the art works best when it's acting in service to the whole without calling attention to itself.
But then, I enjoy listening to the bass line in a song, and I find a masterful drummer - one with a great beat, and the occasional interesting fill - exciting and energizing, something to pay attention to while still enjoying the whole. And when reading a comic - any comic - I always try to keep that in mind, and remember that each panel is in fact its own piece of art. Mosley's analogy of panels being paintings is accurate and insightful, because every frozen moment in time, every panel, was conceived as a unit by its artist. A unit as part of another unit (the page), and part of another unit (the comic book), and another (the series), and on and on ... but each picture, each box, is the smallest discrete piece in the work. And when the artist was first conceiving that, sketching that, drawing that ... it's certainly the world that he lived inside.
And that's what makes this book an innovation, and an experiment that succeeds, and a treasure. Because this comic book story, which was originally told in 25 pages, is now displayed in over 200 pages. Giving the comic the space to breathe that it hasn't had since we were young, every panel is larger than life, and commands our attention accordingly. Most panels are blown up to the size of an entire page of this coffee-table book, with some taking up the double-page spread - or larger than the book itself, as in the couple of four-page gatefold scenes. One of these is the tableau of the giant, green, burrowing monster attacking the French African installation, which in the original comic took just over a page and is really a very small part of the overall story. But here, with the moment of attack shown as one oversized, four-pages-wide display of ferocity, you feel the rumble of the earth, you hear the guardsmen's screams, and understand the terror in their hearts in a way you never have before. In a way you'd always just skipped past.
Partly for the experience of reading this seminal comic book slowly, hugely, poring over every panel, and taking in the story at the measured pace it was meant to be read.
And partly for the lesson that this is how we should always aim to read them.
I didn't encounter comics of any sort (okay, except Garfield and Family Circus, which were hardly fancy) until I was about 28, when I ran into the anime/manga world at about the same time as I encountered web comics. It took me several months to learn to "read" the pictures and get meaningful information. It pained me how slow I felt, trying to make sense of the plot lines, and how much I missed compared to friends who were reading the same things.
Squinting at tiny comics has always been a struggle for me, so I can totally see where they're coming from, making an oversize printed version. Sounds like an awesome idea.

ArmaGen's AGT-181 Demonstrates Neurocognitive Benefit in Children with Severe MPS I
February 08 2018 - 01:30PM
CALABASAS, Calif., Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ArmaGen, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company focused on developing groundbreaking therapies to treat severe neurological disorders, today reported full 52-week results from a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study with AGT-181, the company's investigational therapy for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type I, or MPS I (also known as Hurler, Hurler-Scheie and Scheie syndromes). Data presented today at the 14th Annual WORLDSymposium in San Diego, California, suggest that AGT-181 stabilized the neurocognitive development quotient (DQ) in patients with severe MPS I. The data validate previous findings that demonstrated the ability of ArmaGen's proprietary drug delivery technology to transport biopharmaceuticals across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and provide therapeutic benefit to patients with severe MPS I.
In an oral presentation entitled, "Safety and clinical efficacy of AGT-181, a brain penetrating human insulin receptor antibody-iduronidase fusion protein, in a 52-week study with pediatric patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I," Roberto Giugliani, M.D., Ph.D., of Hospital de Clínicas in Porto Alegre, Brazil, reported the following:
Stabilization of several measures of neurocognitive function as measured by DQ -- a numerical indicator of a child's growth to maturity across a range of cognitive competencies -- in children treated with AGT-181 for one year
On a somatic level, AGT-181 stabilized urinary glycosaminoglycans, reduced liver and spleen volume including in patients previously exposed to laronidase, and further improved shoulder range of motion
AGT-181 displayed a favorable long-term safety and tolerability profile. Most frequent drug-related adverse events were infusion reactions (1.7%) and transient hypoglycemia (2.8% at 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg).
"The full results from this Phase 2 study validate our preliminary findings that AGT-181 crosses the blood-brain barrier and benefits neurocognitive function in children with severe MPS I," said Dr. Giugliani. "Whereas the existing enzyme replacement therapy improves many of the somatic manifestations of MPS I, its inability to cross the blood-brain barrier prevents it from addressing the severe and progressive neurological symptoms of the most severe form of the disorder. Now that we have demonstrated proof of concept, a controlled phase 3 clinical trial is warranted to examine long term impact in cognition in MPS I patients with CNS involvement."
At the 13th Annual WORLDSymposium in 2017, Dr. Giugliani presented preliminary evidence of cognitive improvement in age-equivalent function in the first five children with MPS I who were enrolled in the Phase 2 study, after six months of treatment with AGT-181. This year's presentation included the full set of 52-week data from all 11 children (age 2 years or older) enrolled in the trial. Nine of eleven patients had previously been treated with enzyme replacement therapy and one had received a stem cell transplant which had failed engraftment. The children received weekly intravenous infusions of AGT-181 at doses of 1.0, 3.0 or 6.0 mg/kg. The investigators conducted developmental age-appropriate neurocognitive testing at 13, 26 and 52 weeks of treatment, utilizing the following validated neurocognitive assessments tests: the Bayley Scales of Infant Development Third Edition (BSID-III) or the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC-II), and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition (VABS-II). Together, these tests represent a summation of scores reflecting cognitive, language and motor skills.
Dr. Giugliani reported stabilization of the cognitive DQ with no net decline after 52 weeks of AGT-181, as would normally be expected for the severe MPS I patients that have not undergone successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He also presented stabilization of cortical grey matter volume at 52 weeks of AGT-181 therapy. Among the nine patients previously on laronidase ERT for 1-12 years, AGT-181 was associated with further improvements in somatic disease control, based on further reductions in liver and spleen volume, and increases in shoulder flexion and extension range of motion. Additionally, the anti-drug antibody (ADA) profile with AGT-181 treatment was comparable to that observed with laronidase, Dr. Giugliani reported.
AGT-181 was well tolerated. Out of more than 570 infusions, there were 10 infusion-related reactions (IRRs) – an incidence rate of 1.7%. Sixty percent of IRRs were observed in a single patient not previously on ERT; this patient developed tolerance to AGT-181 by the tenth week of therapy. Other drug-related adverse events (AEs) included transient hypoglycemia (5.9% incidence) that resolved within 10-20 minutes following a snack or glucose administration. Most hypoglycemic events (62%) occurred in patients taking high-dose (6 mg/kg) AGT-181 therapy. Among patients receiving an infusion dose of 1-3 mg/kg, the incidence of hypoglycemia was 2.8%. The investigators observed no serious AEs that were likely to be drug-related.
"By confirming our initial findings of neurocognitive stabilization/improvement in children with MPS I, the full results from the Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial – coupled with our recent receipt of a Fast Track designation from the FDA – sustain the momentum of finding a new treatment option for patients with MPS I," said Mathias Schmidt, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ArmaGen. "The latest results add to the growing body of evidence that our proprietary 'Trojan Horse' technology can deliver the missing enzyme into the CNS of patients and benefit neurocognitive function. We are most grateful to the patients and families who participated in the Phase 2 study."
About Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I)
MPS I is a rare, hereditary, lysosomal storage disease that arises from a deficiency or absence of the enzyme iduronidase (IDUA), which is needed to break down complex sugars produced by the body. MPS I affects approximately 3,000-4,000 patients worldwide. The most severe form of MPS I, Hurler syndrome affects several organs, including the brain, resulting in somatic and neurological manifestations that can include developmental delay, progressive mental decline, loss of physical function, impaired language development, airway obstruction, corneal and retinal damage, carpal tunnel syndrome, and restricted joint movement. Attenuated or less severe forms of MPS I include Hurler-Scheie and Scheie syndromes. Patients with Hurler-Scheie syndrome may suffer from mild cognitive impairment or problems with attention. Patients with Scheie syndrome generally have a later onset, milder symptoms, and a slower disease progression, usually without CNS involvement, although they can develop significant morbidity.
About AGT-181
AGT‑181 is a novel, investigational enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of both somatic and cognitive symptoms in patients with MPS I. ArmaGen developed AGT-181 by re-engineering the enzyme iduronidase (IDUA) as fusion protein with an immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody targeting the insulin receptor. Utilizing ArmaGen's proprietary "Trojan Horse" technology, AGT-181 takes advantage of the body's natural system for transporting proteins and other large molecules non-invasively across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), in this case by binding the same receptor that transports insulin across the BBB into the brain.
In November 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation to AGT-181. A Fast Track designation is aimed at accelerating the development and regulatory review of drugs meeting urgent needs. To receive the designation, a therapy candidate must demonstrate an advantage over currently available treatments such as superior efficacy, ability to meet an unmet medical need, or fewer side effects.
About ArmaGen
ArmaGen, Inc., is a privately held biotechnology company focused on developing groundbreaking therapies for severe neurological disorders. The company is developing a robust pipeline of innovative therapies for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders including neurological symptoms such as Hurler syndrome (MPS I), Hunter syndrome (MPS II), metachromatic leukodystrophy, Sanfilippo A and B syndromes, as well as other diseases with severe CNS manifestations. ArmaGen's pipeline is based on decades of scientific leadership in engineering therapies to cross the blood-brain barrier and a dominant intellectual property portfolio. The company is advancing its pipeline through licensing and collaboration agreements, in-house development programs, and other partnering opportunities. For more information, visit www.armagen.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A former Walker County (Georgia) Elementary School teacher was sentenced to 10 years in prison today in Federal Court.
Charles Mark McCormack (54, originally of Muscle Shoals, Alabama) plead guilty to one count of production of child pornography in November of last year. McCormack was arrested in May of 2016 while currently employed as a Teacher at Chattanooga Valley Elementary School in Flintstone, Georgia.
In 2010 and 2015, two different students reportedly complained of sexual behavior on the part of McCormack. He had been employed at the school since 2002. After law enforcement executed a search warrant on his home in May 2015, several items of child pornography were found, not to mention a colourful browser history that listed a variety of adult porn sites including a popular one m-porn.xxx.
A press release from Acting Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town of the Northern District of Alabama said, " Admissions made in connection with his guilty plea, between Aug. 1, 1997, and Oct. 15, 1998, McCormack used an approximately six-year-old girl to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of the conduct, by videotaping the girl urinating in a bathroom in his Colbert County, Alabama residence."
"During a May 2016 search of McCormack's residence, law enforcement discovered images of nude and topless females believed to constitute child pornography and a suitcase containing young girls' panties," the release also stated.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations investigated this case with support from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Trial Attorney William M. Grady of the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) and Assistant U.S. Attorney Chinelo Dike-Minor of the Northern District of Alabama are prosecuting the case.
This case is a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
"Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims," the statement said of Project Safe Childhood.

Q: Jasmine: Mocking inner method of singleton How would I mock the call to a method of a singleton, like:
Foo.get().getBar();

It seems straightforward to mock Foo.getBar(); with
jasmine.createSpyObj(Foo, ['get']);
Foo.get.and.returnValue();

But I've been noodling with dependency injection and can't quite get it to work just right. FWIW: getBar returns a promise, so I'm really trying to mock Foo.get().getBar().then() which I imagine must be something like
Foo.get.getBar.and.callFake(() => { return deferred.promise; });

A: You have to do it this way:
describe('Foo.get().getBar()',function(){
  it('is happy',function(){
    var Foo = jasmine.createSpyObj('Foo', ['get']);
    console.log(Foo);
    Foo.get.andReturn({
      getBar: function() {
        return 'happy';
      }
    });
    expect(Foo.get().getBar()).toBe('happy');
  });
});

Hope that helps!!!

Season 6: The poet of the Mission
The poet of the Mission
Jeannie Whitlock,

A lean, mustachioed Latino man sighs behind a microphone, stares out into his audience, and begins to read aloud, in the long, drawn-out vowels of a street poet, a piece called "The World Upside Down":
It's a stra-a-a-nge world we're living here
Where fat buzzards perch on trees—
His voice is smoky. The poems seethe and pop like jazz, their imagery swinging from Magnum-wielding cops to barefooted children. The audience at City Lights Bookstore at Columbus and Broadway in San Francisco's North Beach—mostly white men and women of upper middle age—nod appreciatively, chuckling along when the poet disses the Man.
It is an odd pairing of lyrical artistry and barely veiled rage, and it is signature Alejandro Murguía. This is the man dubbed "the voice of La Misión." That title refers to San Francisco's Mission neighborhood, a diverse and constantly evolving district known by turns for its working-class immigrants, political protests, and, most recently, rapid gentrification. Murguía emerged from the Mission in 2012, after decades of writing, social activism, and cultural leadership, to become the city's first Latino poet laureate.
Not all of his poetry is angry; it can be sensual or dreamy, funny or wistful. And not all of his work is poetry. Murguía has been an established contributor to the San Francisco literary scene for 30 years, with a book of stories, several memoirs, and multiple anthologies published since 2002.
Now, however, his star is firmly on the rise, and his locally centered work is striking a chord both inside and outside the Mission, bringing his causes to a wider audience. His is "a poetry," as one critic puts it, "that arms the resistance."
Murguía was born in California and has lived in Mexico City and Tijuana. As a young man, he moved to San Francisco to be a part of the Chicano movement for Latino equality. In the little pocket of San Francisco bounded by Highway 101, Guerrero, and Potrero Street, Murguía found friends, inspiration, and home.
"It's like John Steinbeck writing about Cannery Row," Murguía tells me. "His sense of telling stories about the everyday people of California, that's what I'm trying to do. I'm not 'documenting' the Mission. I just write about it because it's home."
Perhaps like any home, the Mission of Murguía's writings provides complex context. There are beloved people and old, deep wounds and the smell of home cooking—cilantro, cumin—drifting out the windows. He makes it clear that there is both beauty and blood on these streets.
The beauty is not hard to find. On a late spring day the sun is shining, as it nearly always does in the Mission's idyllic microclimate. Around every other corner, the murals for which the district is famous enliven walls with brilliant colors—here a lively scene of Prohibition-era shenanigans, there a graffiti tribute to the Virgin Mary.
People smile at strangers, seeming happy to be out and about. Thirty-somethings clack away on rows of laptops on a cafe's refurbished wooden tables, right next to abuelitas perusing the rows of a mercado's oranges, plantains, peppers, and limes. Like Murguía's poems, street vendors switch effortlessly between English and Spanish, though the Spanish comes in many varieties: Nicaraguan, Mexican, Cuban, Guatemalan, Salvadoran. The scene feels friendly, modern, and urban, with an interesting international flair.

But the Mission is a neighborhood in transition. Once almost entirely Latino, the Mission's composition began to evolve in the 1990s. With the dot-com boom, money began to come into the neighborhood in uneven waves. Inequity grew. Housing prices soared, forcing many renters out. Some left for other neighborhoods; others ended up on the streets.
The abrupt changes have left the Mission vulnerable to drugs, crime, and an unfortunate new scourge: fires. They have become an epidemic. Rising property values motivate some landlords to torch their own buildings for the insurance money, although arson has been only occasionally confirmed. On a recent afternoon, 24th Street and Capp is just one of many neighborhood street corners where the air smells like campfire. A bright red and blue luchador costume peeks out from an otherwise blackened pile of someone's burnt belongings.
Murguía's short story "The Other Barrio," made into a movie in 2015 and shown at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival, centers on a suspicious fire in a Mission residential hotel. The author calls it "a magical realism piece," based on the true case of insurance arson at the Gartland Apartments at 16th and Valencia.
The film's credits read like a who's who of today's Mission activism, and Murguía is clearly proud of the project. "It's a collaboration of artists, engineers, actors, writers, all these people, in response to this big issue," he says. "Sometimes when politicians can't—or won't—solve a problem, it becomes the responsibility of the artists."
The film resonated with locals. The Mission's bilingual newspaper, El Tecolote, was unambiguous in its approval in a review at the time: "The film exposes the economic and racial inequalities Missionites see day to day. … The story is labeled as fiction, but if you live in the neighborhood, it might feel like a documentary."
Posters in a Valencia Street bakery window call out an even more chilling issue troubling the community. Bold pink font calls for a community protest. "Stop Business as Usual! Stop the Murder of Black and Brown by Killer Cops!"
Thanks in part to the advent of cell phone videos, in recent years the nation's attention has been drawn to police killings of unarmed men and women of color. The Mission, like Ferguson, Baltimore, and many other American cities and towns, has been home to outrage sparked by police violence. The neighborhood was already reeling from the San Francisco Police Department's shooting of 28-year-old Alejandro Nieto in March 2014 when, in February 2015, a young Guatemalan named Amilcar Perez-Lopez was shot and killed by police.
For many Latino Missionites, any sense of trust in law enforcement was shattered. At SFPD-initiated community meetings to discuss the issue, Perez-Lopez's neighbors refused to be placated, shouting in Spanish, "Lies!" Members of the community repeatedly accused Mission police of unnecessary deadly force and asked why more Spanish-speaking officers were not assigned to the district.
Asked about the shootings, Murguía inhales and pauses, then chose his words carefully.
"It's a complex issue," he says. "I'm going to reserve judgment on that for now. I don't want to incite people."
This, of course, is the same man who last year published a poem aiming one of the most vehement Spanish curses at "every hijo de la gran puta who ever asked for my green card, my ID card … my registration, my driver's license."
Murguía writes love poems, too, but none for the police.
On the first anniversary of Nieto's death, one of Murguía's early projects became a venue for many of his friends, his family, and other Mission locals to express their anger, grief, and confusion. Founded in 1977, the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts has provided a place for Mission artists to collaborate.
On March 21, 2015 the MCCLA and its surrounding streets were filled with hundreds of people wearing T-shirts that read "Amor for Alex." They gathered for a lowrider rally, a series of chants, prayers, songs, and four films, all of which presented Nieto as a friendly, loving young activist, killed without reason or justice.
In the MCCLA theater, as the pounding drum beat of a danzantes dance troop fades away, the audience observes a collective silence as the audio of the gunshots that killed Nieto plays overhead. Soon after, Murguía stands to recite his poem "El Mundo al Reves":
It's a strange world we're living here.…
This time there is no irony in his voice. No one chuckles. Many audience members quietly weep.
"I have three kids, and two of them are young men," says Mission resident Beatriz Mero afterward. Her family has owned a home in the neighborhood for generations. "My sons, they are 24 and 20. They're good boys, like he was." She gestures to the screen where home videos of Nieto have just played. "But I worry for the one day, the one interaction with police, the one misunderstanding. It's terrifying to be a mother of a young man of color in the Mission."
On ordinary days, nestled between two bilingual bookstores and across the street from a fragrant, bustling taqueria, the MCCLA sits under a mural of muted colors that belie the center's radical roots.
Here huge peace marches gathered in the 1970s, and they would parade down to 18th Street. Here artists, writers, and thinkers gathered to create in solidarity with the Sandinista movement of Nicaragua before many of them left to fight in the revolution of 1979. Murguía was among them. It was a time of exhilarating unity for the Latinos of the Mission, and the MCCLA was at the heart of it.
Today the center offers workspace to artists, a theater for small, Latino-centric films, and classes for the community. The polite, curly-haired woman at the desk enthusiastically lists the dance classes: not just tango and samba, but belly dancing, Bollywood, and B-boy. She has no idea who Alejandro Murguía is. On days when there are no protests swirling around the center, it seems like the furious energy that once tornadoed into the Chicano movement is now channeled into Basic Latin Percussion every Thursday at 7 p.m.

At 24th Street's legendary Cafe La Boheme, too, there is a sense that the glory days are over. At one time known as "the Central American embassy" for all the exiled revolution leaders who gathered there, Cafe La Boheme now vies with slick hubs like Philz and Haus for the skinny-jeans demographic.
The Mission is going to the hipsters and has been for over a decade. "It's not even a story anymore," says John Zucca, a gray-haired biker with tattoo-sleeved arms. He is repairing his motorcycle outside his home, one of several properties he owns on or near historic Cypress Alley, where the murals of the Mission all began.
"Everybody talks about gentrification like it just started happening. But I remember when tech started showing up—must've been '90, '92? That building used to be all Latin families." He waves a hand at a bland blue apartment complex, rare in this part of the Mission, across the street. "I don't blame them for taking the buyout, and I don't blame the developer for selling it at top dollar to the dot-com kids. Neighborhoods always evolve."
Zucca shrugs. His is an attitude that resurfaces over and over in non-Latino commentary on the issue: Change happens. This is just the next stage of it.
The mindset frustrates Murguía. "Change? Change is natural. But change is different from the aggressive and purposeful destruction of a culture."
Murguía has a theory about who is behind the destruction. "It's not just one entity. There is a complex amalgamation of power and wealthy corporations." He mentions Google. "Young technocrats with a lot of intelligence and not much human compassion. And unfortunately, politicians are bought and sold. So you get the law keepers protecting the lawbreakers."
According to Murguía, this is nothing new for the Mission district. In his inaugural address as poet laureate, Murguía said the Mission's history is inextricably linked to displacement. From the indigenous Raymaytush tribe, dislodged from the San Francisco Peninsula, to the Mexican residents of a barrio disrupted by the Bay Bridge and emptied into the Mission and the exiled revolutionaries who found refuge on 24th Street, struggle is at the heart—el corazón—of Murguía's Mission.

Yet there is a tiny, irrepressible note of hope, both in Murguía's poetry and in his conversations about the Mission. When he predicts what the Mission might be like 20 years from now, the lines that have furrowed his brow over a lifetime of protest relax. He gets excited.
"I think 24th Street will be a protected cultural corridor. The sidewalks are too narrow now, yes? But it will become a pedestrian walkway." Murguía pauses, as if laying it all out in his mind. "It will be this vibrant artery of bookstores, print shops, publishing houses."
His voice soft, Murguía returns to the theme of home. "It's the people that make it home." He tells about his own people: the owner at Cafe La Boheme; a fellow revolutionary from the old days; a 24th Street fishmonger who has become a dear friend.
Then Murguía mentions another of the Mission's cultural leaders, René Yañez, who helped kick off the mural project for which the district is now known.
"And René? He starts these movements, and now he's being evicted from his home? How can this be?"
The anger is back.
In his poem "16th and Valencia," Murguía peoples his Mission with outcasts who are somehow beautiful, crazy, and subversive all at once, then aligns himself with their outrage:
I joined … the waitresses the norteño trios the flower sellers
the blind guitarist wailing boleros at a purple sky
the shirtless vagrant vagabond ranting at a parking meter
the spray-paint visionary setting fire to the word
and I knew this was the last call …
and we were going to stay angry
and we were not ever leaving
not ever leaving.
Perhaps the struggle now is simply that: to stay—in a Mission that is, like Murguía's poetry, sometimes dancing, sometimes bleeding, and always defiantly bright.

Disney didn't want to use my stories: George Lucas
Disney didn't want to use my stories: George Lucas
George Lucas says the story ideas he thought of for a new "Star Wars" trilogy were discarded by Disney.
Los Angeles | November 23, 2015 14:38 IST
George Lucas says the story ideas he thought of were discarded by Disney.
Director George Lucas says the story ideas he thought of for a new "Star Wars" trilogy were discarded by Disney.
Before handing over Lucasfilm and the future of his galactic saga to The Walt Disney Company for USD 4 billion in 2012, Lucas came up with story treatments for a new trilogy, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"They decided they didn't want to use those stories, they decided they were gonna go do their own thing," Lucas said.
[related-post]
"They weren't that keen to have me involved anyway. But at the same time, I said if I get in there I'm just going to cause trouble. Because they're not going to do what I want them to do. And I don't have the control to do that anymore. All I would do is muck everything up. So I said, 'Okay, I will go my way, and I'll let them go their way'."
He explained why he is not involved in the upcoming seventh "Star Wars" instalment "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at all.
"When you break up with somebody, the first rule is no phone calls. The second rule, you don't go over to their house and drive by to see what they're doing," Lucas said.
"The third one is you don't show up at their coffee shop and say, 'You are going to burn it.' You just say 'Nope, gone, history, I'm moving forward'," the director said.

Can you say self-conscious! I can't believe I am posting some of these pictures!
Yikes! Will my stomach ever go back to normal? Emotionally drained and extremely exhausted from the 5 day stay at the hospital. The nurses sure do wake you up every 3 hours on the dot to nurse! And it takes us over an hour to feed, so I was up every hour and a half. But I am so happy I sent my husband home to sleep every night but one, at least somebody is functioning!
Taylor is such a blessing! I just don't want to put her down.
I had gained 19 pounds during pregnancy, which my doc was happy with since I had gained 8-10 pounds from fertility drugs the few weeks before our In-Vitro procedure. So I started off with plenty of cushion for the baby to take from!
what kind of exercises did you do after giving birth? I would like to know. Thanks and have a beautiful day!
