Simple Dreams
A Musical Memoir
Linda Ronstadt was born into a musical family, and her childhood was filled with everything from Gilbert and Sullivan to Mexican folk music to jazz and opera. Her artistic curiosity blossomed early, and she and her siblings began performing their own music for anyone who would listen. Now, in this beautifully crafted memoir, Ronstadt tells the story of her wide-ranging and utterly unique musical journey.
Ronstadt arrived in Los Angeles just as the folkrock movement was beginning to bloom, setting the stage for the development of country-rock. As part of the coterie of like-minded artists who played at the famed Troubadour club in West Hollywood, she helped define the musical style that dominated American music in the 1970s. One of her early backup bands went on to become the Eagles, and Linda went on to become the most successful female artist of the decade.
In Simple Dreams, Ronstadt reveals the eclectic and fascinating journey that led to her long-lasting success, including stories behind many of her beloved songs. And she describes it all in a voice as beautiful as the one that sang "Heart Like a Wheel"—longing, graceful, and authentic.

Read an Excerpt
ON HER WAY TO the hospital the day I was born, my mother wanted to stop and eat a hamburger. She was hungry, and maybe wanted to fortify herself against the brutally hard work of pushing out a baby, a task that lay immediately and ominously before her. It was raining hard, and the streets were badly flooded. My father, a prudent man, wanted to be sure I was born in the hospital and not in his car. He loved my mother tenderly and was unlikely to deny her anything within reason, but he denied her... see more

Operation Cleansweep (1995-2011) was a program that provided farmers, nursery operators, golf course operators, and
pest control services a one-time safe and economical way to dispose of their cancelled, suspended, and unusable
pesticides. Some of these materials were very old and in containers that were deteriorating. Some, such as chlordane
and DDT, are so toxic to humans and hazardous to the environment that they are no longer allowed to be used. Proper
disposal can be costly and a regulatory burden for small farmers and other pesticide users. Operation Cleansweep
offered an opportunity to avoid these formidable barriers and to promote safe and environmentally sound pesticide
use, handling and disposal. Operation Cleansweep began in 1995 with a statewide collection of more than 70,000 pounds
of lead arsenate, a widely used pesticide for citrus operations which was banned from use by the EPA. Through the end
of the program in June 2011, Operation Cleansweep collected and disposed of more than 1,400,000 pounds (700 tons) of
cancelled, suspended and unusable pesticides from nearly 2,000 participants in 66 counties.

The Hadi Shriners get a jump start on the holiday season by holding their annual toy run in Evansville.
It cost $10 and a toy to join the 90-mile poker run.
All the money and the toys go to the Children's Hospitals in St. Louis and Cincinnati.
Toys will be wrapped and given to the children at the hospitals during the holidays.
"They tell us at the hospitals that if we keep their minds busy their bodies heal faster so that's what we're here about," said Danny Schuler.
Organizers say a total of 246 bikes and 386 riders took part in the race on Sunday.

Sugden Regional Park
4284 Avalon Drive, Naples, FL
Four men who the Collier County Sheriff's Office says were cruising for sex in an East Naples park got a ride to jail instead on Thursday after reports say they propositioned a deputy during an undercover operation.
However, when reached on the phone Friday, one of the men said it was he who was propositioned by the deputy in Sugden Regional Park off U.S. 41 East.
"I asked him before if he was an undercover cop, and he lied to me," said James Joseph Dotalo, 41. "He was the one that tried to pick me up."
Dotalo, of the 400 block of Valleystream Drive, East Naples; Robert George McCrabb, 68, of Ontario; John R. Sheehan, 68, of the 2800 block of Palm Street, East Naples; and James Keegan, 71, of the 3600 block of Periwinkle Way, East Naples, were each charged with indecent exposure, which is a misdemeanor.
"In these situations, just like prostitution, we are the ones that are propositioned," said Cmdr. Bill McDonald of the Sheriff's Office's patrol division.
McCrabb, Sheehan and Keegan each listed their wives as their next of kin on an arrest report.
"I know what it was, and it reads worse than what it is," said Marie Keegan, who is James Keegan's wife. She declined further comment.
Keegan was in his car with his pants around his ankles when he met the undercover deputy early Thursday evening, reports said.
McCrabb propositioned the deputy, and walked with him along a nature trail before dropping his pants, reports said.
Wendy McCrabb said her husband would "never do that." She said the deputy approached her husband, who was taking a walk in the park, and started talking to him about sex.
She said he has a prostate condition that makes him have to urinate frequently.
"All my husband did, and I can tell you, he took a whiz in the park," Wendy McCrabb said.
Sheehan was seated in a red Lincoln Town Car on Thursday morning when he motioned for the male undercover deputy to approach his vehicle, and then instructed the deputy to follow him to a drug store parking lot across the street, reports said. Sheehan motioned for the deputy to get into his car, asked the deputy to perform a sex act on him, and then exposed himself, reports said.
Reports say Dotalo engaged in a sexual conversation with the undercover deputy, and then had the deputy follow him into a stairwell where he, too, exposed himself.
Dotalo said he was minding his own business when the undercover deputy approached him.
"He said he was looking for someone who met him online," Dotalo said. "He was wanting to have sex, the officer."
There were people in the park and at the local businesses where the men propositioned the officers, according to police reports.
McDonald said, for some reason, parks are attractive places for men to go looking for sexual encounters. He said Sugden Park isn't a particular problem, although reports indicate that the Sheriff's Office has received "numerous complaints" about sexual activity in the parking lot.
"Parks and public locations are not the area for sexual activity," McDonald said. "It should be done privately and in your own home."

Matt Bingle is in his third season as director of women's track and field and cross country at the University of Minnesota in 2013-14.
In October 2011, the University of Minnesota announced that Bingle had been named director of women's track and field and cross country after guiding the Gophers to three Big Ten Indoor Track and Field titles and a Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field title along with supporting two Big Ten cross country titles. He also helped guide the Gophers to a Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field title as an assistant under former head coach Gary Wilson. Bingle, who has served as the Gophers' women's track and field head coach since spring 2007, oversees both the cross country and track and field programs.
"We look forward to many more years of success for our track and field and cross country programs under Matt's leadership," then-athletics director Joel Maturi said.
"Being named director of women's track and field and cross country is a great honor for me, and I am extremely blessed to be here at the University of Minnesota," Bingle said. "I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for my wife and family. I also have to thank Coach Wilson, because he has been there every step of the transition to head coach and will continue to help guide me and this program."
Wilson, the Gophers' former women's cross country head coach, agreed that the time was right to secure the leadership of both programs for the future when Bingle was appointed to his role in October 2011.
"We feel this is the right time to make this next transition as a program," Wilson said. "Matt will oversee the entire program. Cross country and track at the college level are so intertwined that it only makes sense to have a director that can maintain the success of both programs far in to the future, while keeping his main coaching focus with the sprints, hurdles, jumps group."
Bingle is the first person to hold the title of women's director of track and field and cross country at the University of Minnesota.
"This is truly an exciting day for our track and field and cross country programs," Bingle said. "What's great for the program is that for years to come there will be stability in the coaching staff. What we have going right now is working."
Entering his 11th season overall at Minnesota in 2013-14, Bingle spent his first four years with the Gophers serving under Wilson. His influence as the program's recruiting coordinator and his ability to attract some of the nation's top talent has been the primary reason for Minnesota's success both in the Big Ten and on the national scene.
In 2004, Bingle was recognized for his immediate contribution to the Minnesota women's track and field team by being promoted to the position of associate head coach after just one season as an assistant on the coaching staff. His coaching contributions have paid dividends for the Golden Gophers during the past 10 seasons as evidenced by the four Big Ten titles and a pair of top-20 NCAA finishes in Track and Field.
The 2006 season contained several memorable performances under Bingle's direction. Minnesota crowned multiple All-Americans and Big Ten champions and the program celebrated its first national champion, Heather Dorniden, in the indoor 800 meters. In addition to Dorniden's prolific rookie season, sophomore Liz Roehrig collected All-America accolades and won Big Ten titles in both the pentathlon indoor and heptathlon outdoor. Christin Kingsley also earned her first trip to the national meet in the long jump.
The 2005 season was a momentum builder for the women's track and field program, as Roehrig burst onto the collegiate scene by winning the Big Ten pentathlon title, earning Big Ten Indoor Freshman of the Year honors and competing in the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Bingle also coached junior Mollie Hupp to the indoor 600-meter dash Big Ten crown and senior Melissa Steele to the Big Ten outdoor title in the 400-meter hurdles.
In 2004, Bingle coached then-freshman Jacenta Spandl to runner-up finishes in the Big Ten pentathlon and heptathlon. Spandl scored 5,000 heptathlon points to qualify for the NCAA Championships and placed third among the school's all-time best heptathletes.
Bingle also helped guide Shani Marks to All-America and NCAA runner-up honors in the indoor and outdoor triple jump in 2003. Marks later took fourth at the 2004 Olympic Trials, just missing a spot on the national team, before winning the USATF national title in 2006. Under Bingle's tutelage, the Gopher 4x400-meter relay team captured the 2003 Big Ten indoor title. The relay title was the first conference relay crown in Minnesota track history.
Before arriving at Minnesota, Bingle spent five years (1997-2002) at Eastern Michigan as an assistant coach of both the Eagles' women's cross country and track and field teams. He was the head recruiting coordinator for both programs and oversaw meet management. During his tenure at Eastern Michigan, the Eagles captured the 2000 Mid-American Conference Indoor Track and Field title, while also finishing as the conference runner-up four times. He coached 16 athletes to conference crowns and had 83 athletes earn all-conference acclaim.
Prior to accepting the position at Eastern Michigan, Bingle spent one season (1997) as an assistant men's and women's coach for cross country and track and field at California-Irvine.
Bingle entered the coaching ranks at Northern Arizona where he served as a graduate assistant coach for Lumberjacks' men's and women's cross country and track teams from 1995-97. During Bingle's first year at NAU, the men's cross country team finished as the runner-up at the 1995 NCAA Men's Cross Country Championships. He helped coach 13 Northern Arizona athletes to All-America honors and helped the NAU track programs capture three Big Sky Conference titles. Bingle earned a master's degree in educational leadership from Northern Arizona in 1997.
Bingle began his collegiate track career as a walk-on decathlete at Ball State. He eventually earned a scholarship and was a two-time All-Mid-American Conference hurdler during his career. Bingle was named team captain and was also selected as the team's most valuable runner. He graduated from Ball State in 1995. Bingle owns a USATF Level II Certification and served as the assistant technical manager of the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships from 1995-97. He is also a veteran of several cross country and track and field camps and clinics, including currently serving as the director of the Minnesota Track/Cross Country Camps.
Bingle and his wife Jennifer live in Blaine. They have three daughters, Taylor, Allie and Grace.

The key to the future of investment can be summed up in one word, according to Ronald P. O'Hanley: population.
"The world is getting older," said O'Hanley, chief executive officer of BNY Mellon Asset Management, speaking before a packed audience in Posner Hall as part of the Tepper School's W.L. Mellon Speaker Series.
O'Hanley pointed out that from 1950 to 2000, the percentage of the developed world's population that was 65 and older jumped from 8 percent to 15 percent; by 2050, demographers forecast the proportion will be 27 percent.
And that is why demographics will "govern the careers of a lot of us going forward," he noted. "As we speak today, if you are a male age 65, you have a 50 percent chance of living to 85 … we're seeing this unbelievable extension of life. It's unparalleled."
Lasting effects
The ramifications for the population in general, and specifically money managers, are significant. For example, dependency ratios — the number of people working compared to the number of non-workers — are expected to shift dramatically during the next 35 years.
In 2000, there were 3.8 people working in the United States to support every one non-worker. By 2040, that ratio will be 2 to 1 in the United States, but 1 to 1 in Italy, China, and Japan. By 2041, the Social Security trust fund, now valued at $2 trillion will be depleted.
"This is pretty easy to fix, because you've got time on your side," says O'Hanley of the Social Security problem.
He believes the more significant challenge presented by the aging population will be its effect on health care, and said he hopes some students in today B-schools will eventually work to solve that problem.
"We can't have a system that by the middle of this century is going to consume half of our gross domestic product," O'Hanley said. He predicted that annuities will be re-engineered to play a bigger role in financing the costs of retirement, including healthcare. A third of a person's lifetime expenditures on health care come in the final six to 12 months of life, he noted, posing challenging problems for government and the private sector.
The real question now, for both policymakers and money managers, is this: Who is going to pay those costs?
"You're seeing a massive shift of responsibility to the individual," he said, adding that the current system is already expensive and burdensome to both government and employers. For example, payout for Medicare, which is not means-based, is forecast to exceed revenues by 2011.
The retirement and healthcare systems will continue to transform from employer-based plans to programs that employees and retirees are responsible for managing, he said. Employers will continue to play a role, as will government, but individuals must improve their financial literacy if they are going to step up to their responsibility, he said, adding that education in money management is required from the primary grades onward to help people better manage their own financial resources.
O'Hanley also predicted a more complex long-term role for asset managers, citing the September transaction in which U.S. automakers agreed to turn responsibility for managing retiree health care over to a union-run trust. As O'Hanley points out, someone will have to administer that trust.
A veteran of change
O'Hanley is no stranger to unprecedented growth and change. Since joining Mellon in 1997 after a decade with McKinsey & Co. Inc., he has helped Mellon Institutional Asset Management more than double in size. Today, his company is among the top 10 of its kind in the United States, handling more than $1 trillion in assets.
In addition to managing investment subsidiaries, O'Hanley is also responsible for U.S. and international retail, intermediary and institutional distribution activities of The Bank of New York Mellon. Today, the U.S. business consists primarily of The Dreyfus Corporation. Dreyfus, established in 1951, is one of the nation's leading mutual fund companies, currently managing approximately $190 billion in more than 200 mutual fund portfolios nationwide as of the first quarter 2007.
In late November, the Bank of New York Mellon Corp. and Western Securities announced an agreement to establish a joint venture fund management company in China. O'Hanley believes the venture, which is expected to launch in 2008, will help achieve a key strategic priority of accelerating the bank's growth outside the U.S. While at McKinsey, O'Hanley served as a partner and led the firm's investment management practice worldwide. He also was co-leader of its North American personal financial services practice.
The W.L. Mellon Speakers Series gives Tepper School students the opportunity to engage in personal exchanges about strategy, world affairs, and other key issues with C-level business executives. Sponsored by the Graduate Business Club and other student organizations, the series includes a presentation open to the entire school, as well as student-only breakout sessions that encourage lively discussions with the speakers in small-group settings.

Add A Splash Of Color1 of 11
Autumn has arrived, and the coats are coming out. While nature is transforming into rich browns and cloudy grays, bold colors are all the rage for this season's home decor. From bright green to icy blue, HGTV's Color Splash host David Bromstad shares his tips for infusing color into your home.
Tip #1: Lighten Up2 of 11
"For home decorating, the minute you start putting heavy colors in, you feel heavy," says expert David Bromstad. "The weather doesn't have to mean decorating in grays or monotone." Instead, he advises, "go for bright pinks and yellows."
Tip #2: Go Green3 of 11
"Greens are really hot right now in all different shades," says Bromstad. "From muted to bright, green is a universal color from fall to spring to summer."
Tip #3: Roll on the Drama4 of 11
Head to your local paint store for an impactful color change. "Wall color is the most inexpensive way to change a room and the most dramatic," he says. Keep in mind, warns Bromstad, "It's also the most time consuming and permanent."
Tip #4: Throw It Anywhere5 of 11
For a quick fix, buy bright-colored home accessories like pillows, vases and throws. "Even if you have an old piece of furniture like a dresser, paint it gray and whenever you want a change just keep painting over and over."
Tip #5: Drape Your Home in Warmth6 of 11
"Curtain panels can change the whole look of a room," says Bromstad of swapping out your window treatments. "To make a big statement but not a permanent one, buy bold curtains in reds, oranges or greens to liven up your space and give the appearance of wall color."
Tip #6: Rework What You've Got7 of 11
Tackle the couch for a true instant upgrade by covering the existing back pillows in a different color. "Go buy oversize 36-inch pillowcases and line your couch with colorful pillows," he says. "It's easy."
Tip #7: Accent the Space8 of 11
An accent color wall is a great way to go bright. This feature wall should be where "your bed, couch or entertainment center lives and is the focal point of the room," adds Bromstad of this easy DIY upgrade.

Tip #8: Add a Royal Touch9 of 11
"Plums, purples and muted purples will be really hot for the next few years and they are not going anywhere," says Bromstad of this unique trend. And don't worry, if it sounds too girly for the man in your house, balance it with gray or tan walls.
ON GLO: Dramatic Dining Room Tables
Tip #9: Embrace the Blue-ty10 of 11
Icy blues are also a great gender-neutral color and work for every room of the house as a "calming" tone that can be the basis for brighter accessories in cobalt or navy. "Blue and green are the most universal for men and women."
Tip #10: Bring the Outdoors In11 of 11
"I love all the organic items that are out in the market and the things that are hearkening back to the earth," says Bromstad. "Adding something natural and interesting in the home creates a timeless and organic look."

There was a lot to soak in at LEGO's booth this year with both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones LEGO properties going strong, and we snapped a few pics of some of the great pieces you'll be seeing later this year.
Easy stand-outs were the Venator-class Republic Cruiser, which had so many moving-opening-separating parts that it made our heads spin — and of course Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter, the coolest ship (in my opinion) to emerge from The Clone Wars series. A close second is the new Republic Attack Shuttle, which should be reaching store shelves now. You can check out these and more in our Flickr series here.
Stay tuned for an update on LEGO Indy merch, and be sure to check out our continuing photo coverage of this year's Toy Fair!

How is Gitelman syndrome inherited?
What is Gitelman syndrome?
Gitelman syndrome is a kidney condition that causes an imbalance of charged atoms (ions) in the body, including ions of potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Signs and symptoms usually appear in late childhood or adolescence and vary widely. Most affected individuals have relatively mild symptoms. Common symptoms include painful muscle spasms (tetany), muscle weakness or cramping, dizziness, salt craving, and tingling or prickly sensations in the skin on the face (paresthesias). Some experience fatigue, low blood pressure, and a painful joint condition called chondrocalcinosis. It is caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 or CLCNKB genes and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[1]
Last updated: 11/25/2011
How is Gitelman syndrome inherited?
Gitelman syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This means that in affected individuals, both copies of the disease-causing gene in each cell have a mutation. The parents of an affected individual each carry one mutated copy of the disease-causing gene and are referred to as carriers. Carriers typically do not show signs or symptoms of the condition. When two carriers of an autosomal recessive condition have children, each child has a 25% (1 in 4) risk to have the condition, a 50% (1 in 2) risk to be a carrier like each of the parents, and a 25% chance to not have the condition and not be a carrier.

The Christic Imagination – V
The prayer at the Easter Vigil that follows upon the seventh reading (from the Prophet Ezekiel):
O God of unchanging power and eternal light, may the whole world know and see that what was cast down is raised up, what had become old is made new, and all things are restored to integrity through Christ, just as by him they came into being. Who lives and reigns forever and ever.
"And you, Lord God, compassionate and merciful, long-suffering and most merciful, and true" (Ps 85:15)–because hanging on the cross, he said, "Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing" (Lk 23:34). Whom did he pray? For whom did he pray? Who was it that prayed? Where did he pray? The Son prayed his Father; the one crucified prayed for the wicked; amid all those insults not just of the words but of the death inflicted; hanging on the cross as if he was stretching out his hands in order to pray for them, so that his prayer might be directed as incense in his Father's sight and the lifting up of his hands be like an evening sacrifice (Ps 140:2). "Long-suffering, and most merciful, and true." (EnPs 85, 20; PL 37, 1096)
No part of Christian faith is more contradicted than the resurrection of the flesh. To meet such a denier, he who was born to be a sign of contradiction (see Lk 2:34) raised his own flesh, and he who could have so healed his members that their wounds would not appear preserved the scars on his body in order to heal the wound of the heart's doubt. But there is nothing in the Christian faith that is so vehemently, so persistently, so obstinately and contentiously opposed as its faith in the resurrection of the flesh. Many Gentile philosophers debated at length about the immortality of the soul and in many and varied books they have left arguments that the human soul is immortal. But when it came to the resurrection of the flesh, they did not waver but quite openly denied it, arguing that it is impossible for this earthly flesh to ascend into heaven. (EnPs 88[89]/2, 5; PL 37, 1134)
Augustine, after speaking about the warfare between the flesh and the spirit:
I want the whole to be healed, because I am the whole. I don't want my flesh to be eternally separated from me, like something foreign; I want it to be entirely healed with me. If you do not want this, I don't know what you think of the flesh; I guess you think it comes from some unknown place, as if from an enemy nation. That's false; its heretical; its blasphemous. Mind and flesh have a single artisan. When he created man, he made them both, joined them both; he subjected the flesh to the soul and the soul to himself. (Augustine, Sermon 30, 4)
The Christic Imagination – IV
There is the cryptic article of the Apostles Creed: "He descended into hell."
There are the enigmatic and controverted verses of Scripture: "For Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God. Put to death in the flesh, he was brought to life in the spirit. In it he also went to preach to the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient while God patiently waited in the days of Noah during the building of the ark, in which a few persons, eight in all, were saved through water" (1 Peter 3:18–20).
Little more.
Over the centuries Holy Saturday had contracted liturgically, leaving little breathing space between the desolation of Good Friday and the exuberant joy of Easter. Within living memory of some (many?) who read this blog, the Easter Vigil was celebrated Holy Saturday morning, with the risen Lord proclaimed amid song and tears of joy at noon of Saturday.
Pius XII's restoration of the full scope of the Triduum happily returned Holy Saturday to its proper place and proportion. But what is that place?
One suggestion is that it is a time of contemplative wonder mixed with dread. Perhaps what I am gesturing towards finds expression in that magnificent ancient homily, read at this day's Office of Readings/Tenebrae Service:
Something strange is happening – there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear.
The Christic Imagination - III
All of the recent posts on the Triduum and Anthony Domestico's interview with Christian Wiman have brought me back to one of my favorite living poets, Geoffrey Hill. In the interview with Wiman, Domestico classifies two types of Christian poets: those who emphasize the incarnation and those who emphasize the crucifixion. In the second camp, Domestico quite rightly places Hill. And so I thought dotCommonweal readers would be interested in two of Hill's poems. "Canticle for Good Friday" comes from his first collection For the Unfallen (1960) and "LACHRIMAE ANTIQUAE NOVAE" comes from Tenebrae (1978). Hill's Broken Hierarchies, Poems 1952-2012 has just been published by Oxford University Press.Read more
St. Cecelia's in Detroit: Patron Saint of Basketball
Paul Wachter has a lovely piece on Grantland about "The Saint":
"If you were a player in Michigan, you had to play at St. Cecilia," said Earl "The Twirl" Cureton, a Detroit native who won two NBA championships with the Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets in a professional career spanning from 1980 to 1997. But even after he'd made the NBA, Cureton returned each summer to St. Cecilia's to play in the church gym's pro-am league.
"It didn't matter what you had done that season in the league," he said. "You still had to prove yourself back at the Saint."
The rise of St. Cecelia's basketball program began during the 1967 riots when the parochial school's athletic director, Samuel Washington, Sr., opened the gym so his children and their friends could be safe. Wachter writes about both the legendary players and games at St. Cecelia's, and the distinctively Catholic ethos that allowed basketball to flourish at "The Saint".
Unobligated generosity
[In Book 13 of his De Trintate, Augustine addressed the theme of our redemption by Christ. He introduces the subject by asking a question that may have been asked in every generation–it is still being asked today. As the following excerpt indicates, he was concerned to eliminate from the beginning the misunderstanding that has plagued some presentations of the atonement and I once heard summarized in these terms: "God was so alienated from sinful human beings that it required the blood-sacrifice of his Son before he could forgive them." As always Augustine approached the subject on the basis of Scriptural teachings that he accepted as posing the real terms of the question.]
Some people say, "Did God have no other way to free human beings from this wretched mortal condition than that he should want his only begotten Son, God co-eternal with himself, to become man, to take on human soul and flesh, to be made mortal, and to suffer death?" To refute them, it is not enough to assert that this way by which God deigned to free us through "the Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim 2:5) is good and befits the divine dignity; we must also show, not that no other way was possible to God, since all things are equally subject to his power, but that there was not and ned not have been any way more fitting for healing our wretchedness.Read more
The Christic Imagination - II
In her reflection on the Good Friday Liturgy Rita Ferrone writes:
The choice of John's Passion is pivotal. Jesus reigns from the cross. His hour of glory is on the cross, for it is not simply an instrument of his humiliation and suffering but the access point of life and salvation for those who believe.
Bach's faith-filled imagination sublimely proclaims this truth in the majestic opening chorus of his Saint John's Passion, "Herr, unser Herrscher:"
The hammer-like repetition of "Herr, Herr, Herr" and the sinuous melodic line that follows resounds both plaintive and triumphant.
Lord, our sovereign Lord, your glory reigns in every land. Show us by your Passion that you, the true Son of God, are ever glorified, even in the most profound humiliation.
National Poetry Month - Mary Szybist
I could take the easy way out and tell you to read Christian Wiman, whose words are currently featured in the magazine. But instead I'm going to suggest Mary Szybist, whose 2013 collection Incarnadine won the National Book Award.
In Incarnadine, Szybist returns again and again to the Annunciation--or, it might be more accurate to say that she returns to "the annunciations," since she's interested not in a singular incursion of the eternal into the temporal but in an intersection that is more habitual. Think of Eliot's Four Quartets. There, Eliot describes epiphanic moments as "hints and guesses, / Hints followed by guesses," and goes on to claim that "The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation." For Szybist, the hint half guessed, the gift half understood is Annunciation, and this revision hints at some of the collection's major themes: motherood; the female body; the bewilderment and ecstasy of being called by love.
Like Wiman, Szybist is haunted by transcendence: yearning for something beyond her that can't be articulated completely but must be brokenly, desperately gestured towards. Take these lines from "Yet Not Consumed":Read more
The Liturgies of the Triduum
It's Holy Thursday. The Paschal Triduum is about to begin this evening with the Mass of the Lord's Supper. For Catholics these are our "high holy days," a single celebration of the Paschal Mystery spread out over three days, the center and high point of which is the Easter Vigil.
How important is it to get to the three great Triduum liturgies? For a lot of Catholics, it's getting harder and harder, because of work.Read more
The Christic Imagination
We just concluded the Tenebrae service at Saint Theresa's in the Bronx: the psalms were chanted, as were the Lamentations of Jeremiah. Several classes of the parish school were present -- and participating! After each psalm two candles are extinguished. At the end, the lone candle remaining lit was taken from the candelabrum and led the procession out of the church. There was rapt silence.
One of the readings is from the ancient homily of Melito of Sardis. Here is an excerpt:
There was much proclaimed by the prophets about the mystery of the Passover: that mystery is Christ, and to him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
It is he who was made man of the Virgin, he who was hung on the tree; it is he who was buried in the earth, raised from the dead, and taken up to the heights of heaven. He is the mute lamb, the slain lamb, the lamb born of Mary, the fair ewe. He was seized from the flock, dragged off to be slaughtered, sacrificed in the evening, and buried at night. On the tree no bone of his was broken; in the earth his body knew no decay. He is the One who rose from the dead, and who raised man from the depths of the tomb.
"Before the feast of Passover [Pascha], Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end" (Jn 13:1). Pascha, brothers and sisters, is not, as some think, a Greek but a Hebrew word, but in this word the two languages come together in a most appropriate way. Because the Greek verb for "to suffer" is paschein, it has been thought that Pascha means "suffering" [passio]. In its own language, Hebrew, however, Pascha means a passage, and for that reason the people of God first celebrated Pascha when they fled from Egypt and passed across the Red Sea (Ex 24:29). Now that prophetical symbol has been completed in reality when Christ is led like a lamb to the slaughter (Is 53:7); his blood marks the lintels of our gates, that is, his cross is signed upon our foreheads, we are freed from the ruin of this world as if from an Egyptian captivity or destruction, and we enact that most salutary passage when we pass from the devil to Christ and from this unstable world to the solidly founded Kingdom. We pass to God in his permanence lest we pass away with this passing world. Praising God for this grace given us, the Apostle says, "He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us across into the Kingdom of his beloved Son" (Col 1:13). ....
But why should we wonder that he rose from supper and laid aside his garments, who, being in the form of God, emptied himself? And why should we wonder, if he girded himself with a towel who took upon himself the form of a servant and was found in the likeness of a man? Why wonder if he poured water into a basin with which to wash his disciples' feet, who poured his blood upon the earth to wash away the filth of their sins? Why wonder, if with the towel with which he was girded he wiped the feet he had washed, who with the very flesh that clothed him laid a firm pathway for the footsteps of his evangelists?...
All that suffering of his is our cleansing. About to suffer death, he performed his act of service beforehand, and not only for those for whom he was about to undergo death, but even for the one who was about to hand him over to that death. So great is the usefulness of human lowliness, that divine loftiness commended it by its own example. Lofty man would have perished for ever unless a lowly God had found him. The Son of Man came to seek and to save what had been lost. As we had been lost by imitating the devil's lofty pride, let us, now that we have been found, imitate the Redeemer's lowliness. (Augustine, In Ioannem Tr. 55, 1 and 7; PL 35, 1785-1786, 1787)
Secretary Kerry: Nice Try
Secretary of State John Kerry's effort to bring the Israeli-Palestinian stand-off to another level is clearly failing, if it has not already failed. So what's next? Some weary but knowledgable observers offer their thoughts. I read them to say in general: time for the United States to sign off.
Tom Friedman at the NYTimes: "The truth is Kerry's mission is less an act of strategy and more an act of deep friendship. It is America trying to save Israel from trends that will inevitably undermine it as a Jewish and democratic state. But Kerry is the last of an old guard. Those in the Obama administration who think he is on a suicide mission reflect the new U.S. attitude toward the region. And those in Israel who denounce him as a nuisance reflect the new Israel."
Henry Siegman at Haaretz: America has been seen by the entire international community as "owning" the peace process, not because its statesmen are believed to be wiser than all others, but because it enjoys leverage with Israel that uniquely enables it to influence the Jewish state's policies.....[I]t is the consequence of the many decades of unprecedented U.S. generosity towards the Jewish state in the form of virtually unlimited military and economic assistance.... It has long been assumed that a point would surely come when Washington would use its long-accumulated leverage to inform Israel's government that it could no longer fend off international criticism of Israel's occupation without incurring serious damage to its own credibility and national interests. It was believed that when the U.S. reaches that point, Israel would have no choice but to withdraw from the West Bank to the pre-1967 lines, subject to minor mutual border swaps and appropriate security guarantees....But that moment of truth never came, and no one believes any longer it ever will.
Paul Pillar at National Interest: Reviews "What to Do After Peace Process Failure."
Dean Baker on education and inequality:
The patterns in the data show that inequality is not a question of the more-educated gaining at the expense of the less-educated due to inevitable technological trends. Rather, it has been a story in which a small group of especially well-situated workers — for example, those in finance, doctors, and top-level corporate executives — have been able to gain at the expense of almost everyone else. This pattern of inequality will be little affected by improving the educational outcomes for the bottom quarter or even bottom half of income distribution.
Relative to other countries, tax rates in the U.S. are relatively low, even when you throw in local and state taxes and add them to federal levies. Overall, according to the Tax Policy Center and Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which supplied the graph above, taxes in the U.S. are among the lowest in the developed world. The average for countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an organization of rich countries, is higher. And in countries like Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands...the average is much higher. In those nations, taxes account for more than half of total national income.
That level may sound scary but, as many of us have written before, you could make a good case that the people of Scandinavia and Northern Europe know what they are doing. They are far more secure, thanks not only to national health insurance but also to generous provision of child care and unemployment benefits. And despite the high tax burden, their economies have historically been strong—in part, because the combination of investment and a secure safety net makes people more comfortable with a dynamic, ever-changing economy. The wonks used to call this economic model "flexicurity."
If someone breaks his promise to drive you to the airport, causing you to miss your flight, then even if the flight crashes with no survivors your friend is not excused: he shouldn't have broken his promise. The retrospective effects of later outcomes have to do not with justification but with affirmation or regret, which are independent of justification or its absence.
New stories on our homepage
Now on the homepage, "Being Prepared for Joy," Anthony Domestico's fascinating interview with poet Christian Wiman. An excerpt:
AD: You're currently teaching a course called "Accidental Theologies," which you define as the kind of theology that gets done in seemingly nontheological texts—letters, poems, and novels, for example. Why are you drawn to this kind of writing? What in particular interests you about the kind of theology that gets done in, say, the novels of Fanny Howe or Marilynne Robinson? And how do the pleasures you get from accidental theology differ from the pleasures you get from the more traditional theology of a Karl Barth or Hans Urs von Balthasar?
CW: I seem immune to ideas that have no concretion to them. Most systematic theology—modern theology, I should specify, like Barth or Balthazar—just bounces right off the stone of my brain. I don't mean that I don't enjoy it—I do—but it seems not to stick with me in any meaningful way, seems ungraspable the minute I've closed the book.
Embodied theology, though, ideas about God that have some music and physicality to them, ideas, that is to say, that aren't primarily ideas—these sorts of works I understand and love and am able to carry with me in my life and faith. I'm not ranking the ways one does theology, though; just diagnosing my own magpie method, which has its own strengths and weaknesses.
But you should really read the whole thing.
Also, the editors write on Republican efforts to tighten voting rules in a number of swing states:
Republicans in nine states have pushed through laws with strict photo ID requirements as well as a variety of limitations on early voting, extended voting hours (including weekends), same-day registration, and absentee voting. All of these restrictions would disproportionately affect minority voters. Many African Americans, especially those living in cities, do not have the state-issued photo IDs, such as driver's licenses or passports, required by the laws. Many cannot get to the polls until early evening. Sunday voting, often organized around church services in African American communities, is especially important for increasing turnout. How can prohibiting Sunday voting, as Ohio has just done, be anything but discriminatory?

Finn flayed.
Last week, Kansas City Detective Maggie McGuire was honored for her work on the troubling case of Shawn Ratigan, a now-laicized priest serving a fifty-year sentence for possessing and creating child pornography. Recall that in 2012 Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph was found guilty of failing to report suspected child abuse--after diocesan personnel informed him that they had found pornographic photographs of minors on Ratigan's laptop and the bishop failed to notify police. Obviously Deputy U.S. Attorney Gene Porter hasn't forgotten the details of that case, because when he presented the Crystal Kipper & Ali Kemp Memorial Award to McGuire, he delivered a stinging rebuke to Finn and his diocese:
When it becomes clear at the outset of the investigation that the entire hierarchy of a centuries-old religious denomination does not seem willing to recognize that the children depicted in the images are, in fact, victims of child exploitation, nor seem very willing to help establish the identity of the children depicted, and instead are spending millions of dollars on legal counsel in an ill-advised effort to avoid having the priest and bishop accept legal responsibility for their crimes, then you know, as an investigator, that your work is cut out for you.
He continued:
But for [McGuire's] work, multiple victims might not have been identified, a predatory priest might not have been removed and sentenced to the functional equivalent of life in prison, and Robert Finn never would have become the first cleric of his rank in the United States to sustain…a criminal conviction for failure to report suspected child abuse.
A judge sentenced Bishop Finn to two years of probation. He has not been censured by church authorities.
Greater grace, greater praise
"The heavens will confess your wondrous deeds, O Lord" (Ps 88[89]:6). The heavens will not be confessing their own merits: "the heavens will confess your wondrous deeds, O Lord." In any mercy shown to the lost, in the justifying of the wicked, what do we praise if not the wondrous deeds of God? You give praise because the dead rise again; give even greater praise because the lost have been redeemed. What grace! What mercy of God! You see someone who yesterday was a whirlpool of drunkenness and today is a model of sobriety. You see someone who yesterday was a cesspool of excess and today is a paragon of temperance. You see someone who yesterday was blaspheming God today is praising God. You see someone who yesterday was a slave of creatures today is a worshipper of the Creator. People are being converted from all those desperate conditions. Let them not consider their own merits. Let them become heavens and let those heavens confess the wondrous deeds of the one who made them heavens. (Augustine, EnPs 88[89], 6; PL 37, 1123)
Christian seders: always a bad idea?
Can Christians host seders? Should they? It's a question I've seen raised and answered in a few places this Passover, with some interesting responses, mostly in the negative. I've never been to a seder, Christian or otherwise, and no parish I've been in has ever tried it, so I'm interested in the question without being very invested.
Everyone whose opinion I've read concedes that Christian seders are a well-intentioned practice -- usually, anyway, an attempt to learn more about what Christ believed and did, and what Jewish neighbors do today. But most think they're a bad idea nevertheless. An exception is Mark Silk, who gives the Christian hosts his blessing.
He notes concerns raised by Rebecca Cynamon-Murphy ("a Christian woman married to a Jewish man") in a piece at Religion Dispatches: the practice appropriates a Jewish ritual, ignoring the history of Christian persecution of Jews as well as the still-vibrant religious experience of Jews today. She gives a clear explanation of the danger of theological insensitivity and error:
Christians mounting their own reading of the Haggadah almost always want to discuss how Jesus is like the paschal lamb, using the occasion to show how all the Hebrew scriptures point to Jesus as fulfilling the prophecies. This theological exercise, known as supersessionism, is problematic enough in a purely Christian context, but as part of a Jewish ritual it is deeply out of place.
At Religion News Service, Silk writes,Read more
Losing my religion? I blame the Internet!
A poem for Palm Sunday
I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot. Perhaps it is not too late.
The Donkey
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.
Abducted in Cameroon
Two Italian priests and a Canadian nun were kidnapped by unidentified gunmen in Cameroon on April 5. The radical Islamist group Boko Haram from Nigeria is suspected. I don't remember how I came across the story. Did I read it? Was it on the radio? But I know it registered. These were Catholic missionaries. Who were they? The news story didn't say.Read more

elle: Convincing my brother to do another a "boy style" post..
holly: They're from Bebe!
JJaine: Thanks for the edie compliment- love her.
mode junkie: Daddy didn't know either, I had to tell him a little about it.
hannah sider: Hint: Look in the men's section. They're better than women's blazers!
tonia: Not at all- LOVE "Pretty Woman".
Charm: Lol at "cue violins" !
anon3:54: They fit totally true to size. I'm usually a size 7.5 and Dollhouse's 7.5 fit me perfect.
On track: Thanks, I'll check it out!
amy: The applying process was actually kind of fun. You meet with a FIDM advisor twice- the first time you tell them about yourself, why you wanna go to the school, etc. They give you an entrance project which is different depending on your major. You go back the second time to take two required exams and present you project.-- that's basically how it works.
189m: No lol the person who left that comment is my cousin and he calls me that!
anon4:40: Must be the hair ;)

You always manage to look amazing without having to be decked out in all designers from head to toe. I have not seen any look that I have not fell in love with. You don't have to agree with me, but some people spend thousands of dollar on one outfit try to copy the run way look, and ended up looking like a homeless person/or fashion learn howo to dress better.

Agree with the very first comment.
Not a lot of people would be able to get away with this outfit, but you DO. And not in a tacky way. Indeed, you look very chique. Gorgeous, always.
Love your style. You're amazing.
