122 Quebec protesters arrested in raucous night before proposed strike-breaking legislation
A bid to restore order in restive Quebec was met with streets clogged with thousands of protesters, a multitude of flying projectiles, several smashed windows, and blasts of pepper spray leading to 122 arrests.
The unrest on Wednesday night followed the Quebec government’s announcement it would suspend the current academic session for striking students in an effort to calm things down.
It also hinted at more punitive measures, without sharing details. (Photos: ROGERIO BARBOSA/AFP/GettyImages)Wait…Canada has a democracy?

The Spirit Ablaze - Crossfire’s energetic preacher opens a church in south Eugene →
Appeared in print: Monday, Jan. 30, 2012, page B1
If churches were automobiles, then Crossfire Ministries would certainly be a muscle car.
The church is based in Springfield. Its leader, local televangelist Aaron Taylor, sports a shaved head and a goatee and has the physique of a former pro wrestler (which he is not). And one of the upcoming events advertised in Crossfire’s church bulletin is a Super Bowl party, following the late worship service this coming Sunday.
So what is this candy-colored Trans-Am doing parked in the land of BMWs, Saabs and Priuses?
Planting churches, Taylor cheerfully explained on Sunday morning as he welcomed hundreds of parishioners to the grand opening of Crossfire’s new branch in Eugene’s upscale south hills.
“I’ve had people say, ‘The south hills? You’re not going to work out there,’ ” Taylor says. “I’ve been told this is its own community. People are different here. But I believe people are the same everywhere.”

Amazon Parkway in a building most recently used by Calvary Fellowship, a church headed by former University of Oregon Duck quarterback Danny O’Neil. The size of O’Neil’s congregation slid, though, from a peak of about 800 members to something fewer than 200, Taylor said, and the building was headed for foreclosure last year. (Read more)

In disciplined silence it opens.
With wandering talk it closes."Rumi

Do not fear, there is always wine
If you are thirsty for love.
Do not fear, there is always water
If your lips are parched.
Do not fear your ruin, inside you
There is a treasure.
Open your eyes, for this world
Is only a dream.
