    A man who became the subject of a book called "The Radioactive Boy Scout" after trying to build a nuclear reactor in a shed as a teenager pleaded guilty Monday in a theft case. David Hahn, 31, had been charged in the theft of 16 smoke detectors. Police in the Detroit suburb of Macomb County's Clinton Township said it was a possible effort to experiment with radioactive materials. During a Circuit Court hearing, Hahn pleaded guilty to attempted larceny of a building. The court's online docket said prosecutors recommended that he be sentenced to time served and enter an inpatient...
  • A Convert's Pilgrimage

    05/25/2007 5:19:25 PM PDT · by Titanites · 52 replies · 1,577+ views
    My “pilgrimage” to the Catholic Church began when I was 18 years old. I was a first-semester college freshman enrolled at one of the most prestigious evangelical Protestant colleges in the country. I was a theology/philosophy double major, and my childhood heroes included men like Martin Luther, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, R.C. Sproul, and Greg Bahnsen. My grandfather was an evangelical pastor. My uncle was a Presbyterian elder. Reformation theology was deeply imbued in every aspect of my being. My life’s dream was to become a Protestant seminary professor, so that I could help instruct a new generation of theologians...
  • Last Words (Prayer and Typology) SCOTT HAHN

    Last Words (Prayer and Typology) SCOTT HAHN Prayer is necessary, but it's not easy. "[F]or we do not know how to pray as we ought" (Rom 8:26). We know how to pray in a superficial way, but not as we ought. The good news is that our Father knows this, and so He has sent His Son to teach us and has sent His Spirit to transform our moans, groans, and sighs into the profoundest prayers that reach the depths of God's heart. "The Spirit helps us in our weakness. . . . [T]he Spirit himself intercedes for us with...

    Scott Hahn on Our Lady The following is the transcript of Scott Hahn's audio and video tape presentation, "Mary: Holy Mother" as it appears in the "Catholic Adult Education on Video Program" with Scott and Kimberly Hahn. This morning we want to focus on Mary and the Marian doctrines and devotions of the Catholic Church to see where in scripture do we see, not necessarily logical demonstrations that are brought forth from proof texts that kind of force the mind against the will to give in and to acquiesce in these beliefs, but where do we find in scripture the...

    How sad, to see a post so contradictory to the truth. If Scott's soul is lost then thank God for it is being guided by the High Priest our Lord Jesus Christ, or maybe he is lost but for the sake of the true presence Christ in the eucharist that he is able to bring so many to His Kindom. Scott's so called lost soul is more fruitful than most found souls. You make false charges about him too. He says clearly that the Bible is never to be fully understood, and he says that the reason for that is...
  • CA: City Hall sex scandal (Los Angeles - 'pay to play' trial for deputy mayor, Hahn administration)

    LA Daily News ^ | 10/4/06 | Beth Barrett and Rick Orlov
    In the highest-reaching allegations so far in the City Hall "pay-to-play" scandal, a former deputy mayor in the Hahn administration said he indulged in sexual services paid for by a city commissioner who prosecutors said was seeking a contract for a client, according to court documents unsealed Tuesday. The salacious revelations are among the most direct allegations in the nearly three-year investigation of contracting practices during the administration of former Mayor James Hahn. According to some 1,200 pages of transcripts released Tuesday, former Deputy Mayor Troy Edwards told a grand jury that Leland Wong, then a member of the powerful...
  • EWTN: A Network Gone Wrong

    03/07/2006 9:39:17 AM PST · by Slugworth · 38 replies · 1,202+ views
    What Went Wrong at EWTN? Hoping to avoid a takeover by the American bishops, Mother Angelica resigned from the board of directors of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) in March of 2000. She relinquished all control over the network she had founded in 1981. With the departure of that feisty and combative nun, EWTN underwent a change for the worse. This sure-to-be-controversial book contends that since the departure of its foundress, EWTN has been purveying to millions of Catholics a strange brew of the orthodox and the heterodox, the sacred and the profane. The anti-liberal Popes before the Second...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) - Former Mayor James Hahn, who lost his re-election bid in May to Antonio Villaraigosa, has taken a job at a Los Angeles-based real estate investment banking firm, the company announced Tuesday. Hahn, who served four terms as Los Angeles city attorney, will advise Chadwick Saylor & Co. on real estate and securities transactions, managing partner Bill Chadwick said. "We're a broker-dealer and an investment adviser, both of which are heavily regulated," Chadwick said. "His primary responsibility will be legal. Secondarily, he will be involved in business development." Chadwick, who was a Hahn political supporter, offered the...

    The former head of Fleishman-Hillard's Los Angeles public relations office who got millions of dollars in city contracts while providing free services to Mayor James Hahn's administration was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on 16 counts of fraud and conspiracy. In the latest development in the investigation of City Hall corruption, Douglas R. Dowie, 57, of West Hills was accused in a 14-page indictment of bilking the city Department of Water and Power out of at least $300,000 over a four-year period. The firm held a $3 million-a-year contract with the DWP as well as public relations contracts...

    For Los Angeles, Only One Choice, One Slim Hope 05/16/05     Republican-about-town Jeffers M. Dodge was at a function a couple of weeks ago, one that was also attended by campaigning-incumbent-Mayor James Hahn.   "Hey, Mayor! I have a website up supporting your re-election," he said.   "Really?" replied Hahn. "What's it called?"   I wasn't there, but, as I imagine it, Jeffers paused, if only briefly, before he said, "The lesser of two dot com."   Sad is the day when a Democrat like Hahn becomes a Republican's only hope. Worse yet, when he becomes a city's. How bad...

    In the final days before the election, the attack ads have come on strong. The mayor is dogged by a corruption scandal. His challenger is accused of coddling child abusers and hobnobbing with a crack dealer. The ads being broadcast by Mayor James Hahn and challenger Antonio Villaraigosa depict a world so corrupt it's hard to figure out where one scandal starts and another ends. "An average voter is being told that the best they can hope for is the lesser of two very great evils," said media consultant Dan Schnur, who has no ties to either campaign. The two...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Times has endorsed City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa in the May 17 mayoral run-off, saying the candidate has a "relish and intensity" for attacking the city's woes that incumbent Mayor James Hahn lacks. The Times also endorsed Villaraigosa in 2001, when the two candidates ran against each other in a tight race marked by attack ads that helped Hahn to a come-from-behind win. "Villaraigosa's drive, people skills and knack for coalition-building earned our endorsement in 2001. Given Hahn's lack of dynamism, those traits seem even more desirable four ho-hum years later," reads the editorial...

    Miguel Contreras, the Los Angeles labor chief who rose from the ranks of Cesar Chavez's farm labor movement to head one of the most powerful unions in the nation, died Friday of an apparent heart attack, officials said. He was 53. Contreras, as executive secretary-treasurer of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor AFL-CIO, took control of the umbrella organization of unions and built it into a potent political force that today includes more than 300 affiliates and 800,000 members and wields enormous influence across Southern California. Details were sketchy about what occurred Friday, but officials said Contreras appeared to...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mayor James Hahn began airing his first TV ad of the runoff mayoral campaign Tuesday - a blistering attack on the character and trustworthiness of front-runner Antonio Villaraigosa. The 30-second spot, running on broadcast and cable stations, faults the city councilman for raising thousands of dollars from Florida contributors. Using photographs of newspaper headlines, the ad points out that the county district attorney is reviewing some of those donations. A shot of Villaraigosa appears briefly in the ad, in which he says, "As Mayor, I will lead by example." A narrator responds sarcastically, "The Villaraigosa example...

    Monterey Herald ^ | 5/2/05 | AP - Los Angeles
    LOS ANGELES - Days after prosecutors began a preliminary inquiry into his fund-raising, mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa began airing a TV ad Monday that seeks to put Mayor James Hahn on the defensive over an ongoing corruption probe at City Hall. The 30-second spot covers familiar ground: Villaraigosa has been attacking Hahn for months over the ongoing investigation, in which prosecutors are looking into allegations that City Hall officials traded contracts for campaign donations. No administration officials have been charged. "Where will the investigation end?" a narrator in the ad asks. "Isn't it time for a change?" The ad appeared...
