Anne Hathaway gets smart about career decisions
SAN FRANCISCO - It was only eight years ago that Anne Hathaway made her professional acting debut in the short-lived Fox series "Get Real." Take a few moments and try to remember the show. Today, Hathaway is so well-known in the feature film world that she landed the coveted role of Agent 99 in the new movie take on the classic television series "Get Smart." This follows much big-screen success in movies, including "The Princess Diaries" and "Brokeback Mountain."

Parish’s Stray Puppy Provides Fodder for Spiritual Messages
LONGWOOD, FL — Vinnie came to St. Vincent Church in Akron, Ohio, and into the ownership of Rev. Joseph Kraker as a six-week-old puppy. He had been thrown from a car and rescued by an observant driver who turned him over to a pet rescue organization. When the school secretary first called Kraker with the offer of the dog, he turned her down. His first dog, Timmie, had died recently, and after 17 years with her, he wasn’t sure he wanted to take on another long-term relationship. But the five-pound bundle of fluff was irresistible, and it wasn’t long before he won the hearts of everybody in the parish—including Kraker. In Vinnie Here: Fanciful Conversations Between a Pastor and His Dog (paperback, 978-1-60477-475-7), Kraker presents spiritual messages in an interesting and entertaining way.

Shaw believes that, with the exception of the seal of the confessional, "the presumption in the church's day-in, day-out life should favor openness and accountability."
