Faith and Reason Conference Opens at Fordham University
Contact: Patrick Verel

Scholars from a dozen Jesuit colleges and universities converged on Fordham's Rose Hill campus on June 16 for "Faith and Reason: A Dialogue at the Heart of Jesuit Education," a three-day conference organized by Fordham's Center on Religion and Culture.
The conference, a series of four keynote addresses, panels and breakout sessions, was attended by representatives from Jesuit colleges and universities in the Baltimore, New England and New York provinces. It opened with "Reason and its Adventures Since the Enlightenment," by Charles Taylor, D.Phil, philosophy professor emeritus at McGill University.
Taylor offered a critique of the concept of "reason alone," as described in Emanuel Kant's Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone, while at the same time trying to explain its strength and its convincing power.
"The notion is that we can establish the ethics and political theory we need to have a fair and equal society by reason alone," he said, "and that reason alone can give you the shape of what fairness and justice require."
Taylor then introduced the concept that reason alone is insufficient to create a just world, and that faith is necessary to give direction to reason.
In his opening remarks, Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, noted that June 16 is not only Bloomsday, the day commemorating the life of James Joyce and his novel Ulysses, but also the anniversary of the second break-in at the Watergate Hotel and the Feast of Saint John Francis Regis.
"In a very real sense, we are members of the same family that gave the world James Joyce, an alumnus of Clongowes Wood in Wicklow and Belvedere in Dublin; G. Gordon Liddy, a graduate of Fordham; and John Francis Regis, a graduate of the Jesuit College in Beziers," Father McShane said.
"Therefore, we are all of us heirs to same Ignatian desire to engage the world, as were Joyce, who engaged the world with imagination; Liddy, who engaged the world of politics with more passion than reason; and Regis, who engaged the world and embraced the poor with pastoral zeal."
The conference, he said, would be a time for building bridges between faith and reason, between religion and culture and between the heart and religion.
Taylor took questions from the audience as well as Peter Steinfels, co-director of the Fordham Center on religion and Culture.

Peter Steinfels, co-director of the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture, pointed out in his introduction that although the words "faith and reason" sound as if they go together like "bread and butter" and "love and marriage," there is serious disagreement in the academic world. He pointed out that a proposal at Harvard three years ago to make mandatory a course called "Faith and Reason," was watered down to "Culture and Belief."
"It is not too much to say that the pairing of faith and reason, whether in tandem or in opposition, has become a shorthand or code signaling all kinds of intellectual and political fault lines," Steinfels said. "No doubt this is partly a reflection of our stubbornly binary way of conceptualizing all sorts of matters, as in male and female, conservative and liberal, or PC and Mac."
Questions about faith and reason take on special coloration and significance for Jesuit schools when it comes to curriculum, scholarly interests and aptitude, interdisciplinary research and discussion, campus community, social critique and civic engagement, as well as students' personal and professional formation.
"It is impossible to deny that questions of faith and reason are central to the very raison d'etre of Catholic higher education, and that among the many traditions that are found within the Catholic tradition, the Jesuits created one of unusual—their critics might say, undue—confidence that faith and reason are allies rather than enemies," he said.
"In some ways, working within a tradition that takes the relationship between faith and reason not only seriously but positively poses challenges absent in environments that are hostile to either faith or reason or just indifferent to their relationship."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to approximately 14,700 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in Westchester, and the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.

Least expensive auto insurance rates for 2014 are currently included in the insurer system used by motorists at the Auto Pros company. These affordable rates are quoted by U.S. companies at http://autoprosusa.com/insurance.
Odessa, TX (PRWEB) February 12, 2014
Price research is one of the elements involved in insurance policy decision making in the United States. The Auto Pros company has enhanced its insurer search system online to provide drivers with access to the least expensive auto insurance rates for 2014 at http://autoprosusa.com/insurance.
The inexpensive rate plans that national companies have entered into the quote system online are designed to introduce comparison options for motorists.
Because price data is usually withheld until vehicle information is entered, the Auto Pros company is offering an easier way to begin reviewing the different prices companies charge for a U.S. policy.
"All affordable plans that are searched and sorted throughout our system begin with validation of a zip code to prepare an immediate and personalized quotation for every car owner compared with information gathering efforts some companies undertake," said one Auto Pros company source.
The rates that are visible to drivers online are automatically prepared through the automated system. A data link is now part of the programming that the system includes online. Every provider is able to update data daily through these links to present the affordable rates for 2014 to each driver requesting a specific policy price.
"From basic plans to customized options, our system provides immediate access to rates and policy information to car owners without collecting any of their data during the search process," the source said.
The Auto Pros company is scheduled to incorporate more providers of insurance throughout this year as different companies are examined for entry into the search system. A driver not currently searching for affordable insurance could be interested in the optional warranty platform at http://autoprosusa.com/auto-warranty.
The database now setup to distribute warranty rates is enhanced to include a national list of companies. These agencies support drivers with short or extended policy types as well as annual pricing for each policy requested. Users of the system input their own zip code and engine mileage to extract each warranty quote.
About AutoProsUSA.com
The AutoProsUSA.com company is now one online resource available for motorists online to find a range of insurance policy data for review. This company has installed independent quotes tools that display full pricing and insurer data to researchers online. The AutoProsUSA.com company provides phone support through its nationwide access number for its auto parts referral division offline. The company sets of tools that are available seek to bring more options for research for the American public when exploring the available service provider pricing.

Extraordinary Thigh Highs
What's so extraordinary about solid-colored flat-knit thigh highs? Unprecedented stretch and comfort! These will fit legs of all sizes, short and slender to tall and curvy, as well as everything in between, and they'll look great doing it. We've searched for years to find socks that fit this well; now we have them, and you can too! Made in the USA.
Fiber Content: 85% regenerated cotton/acrylic/polyester, 10% nylon, 5% elastic.
Machine wash in cool to cold water, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Sizing Tips: Foot fits US Women's shoe size 7-14 (men's 5-12). Calf easily stretches to 24 inches around. Cuff stretches to 27 inches around. The more they stretch around, the less they will stretch up, but these have been at least OTK on every single tester so far.
About 24 inches from heel to cuff, unstretched.
Additional Info:
We also have a striped version!
Label: Dreamer Socks
Is the natural color an off white color? and if stretched will the color still be opaque?
I love the red color the longer version comes in, but I'm short so they'd be a bit too big for me. why don't you make these in the same colors?
I would love a pair of this version in Teal like the longer version. Is that a possibility in the future?
What's a difference between Natural and White?
i have big thighs and would love to have thigh high socks, but "I can not find big enough ones that will fit me I am a male shoe size 11
Is the white a bright white or a more natural white?
This is quite possibly the single greatest idea in the history of merchandising! Love me some socks!
~ Emilio D.

Normal View of gastrointestinal tract | Lap-Band Procedure |
Among the less invasive weight loss surgeries currently available, the LAP–BAND® procedure, also known as adjustable gastric banding, is designed to restrict food intake by placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch able to hold approximately two ounces of food.
A restrictive procedure, the LAP–BAND® system does not involve stapling or the surgical manipulation of the gastrointestinal tract. Under general anesthesia, the procedure is performed laparoscopically through small incisions. An adjustable silicone band, or ring, is safely placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small "pocket" at the top of the stomach that limits the amount of food that can be consumed. Additionally, a tube connected to an access port and placed beneath the skin during surgery allows your surgeon to modify the size of the ring in order to ensure successful weight loss. These adjustments are also referred to as "fills."
Following adjustable gastric banding, patients consume a liquid–only diet and gradually resume consumption of solid foods according to their specific weight management plan. The first fill is not made until the stomach heals from surgery, approximately six weeks following surgery. Adjustments to the gastric band are made four to six times in the first year, in order to ensure optimal fit and encourage continued weight loss. Band adjustments are painless and generally made during a regular office visit. Weight loss associated with the LAP–BAND® is more gradual than with some other weight loss surgeries, about five to 10 pounds a month.
The LAP–BAND® procedure can be a safe alternative to gastric bypass surgery for patients with underlying health conditions, which place them in a high risk category for more invasive surgery.
While a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above in adults is considered obese, the requirements for adjustable gastric banding established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are the same for all weight loss surgeries – a BMI greater than 40. For men, this is approximately 100 pounds overweight and for women approximately 80 pounds overweight. Though, patients with a BMI between 35 and 39 may also be candidates if they suffer from obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

U18: 2011 finalists grab top seeds for second straight year
United States Canada 5-3 (0-0, 2-2, 3-1)
BRNO With a 5-3 win over their Canadian rivals, the United States have taken the top seed in Group A and will have an automatic bye to the semi-finals. Canada will play against Russia in one of the Thursdays quarter-final games.
Seth Jones struck his teams first even strength goal five minutes into the third period, and Frank Vatrano followed it up just over a minute later to give the Americans a 4-2 lead. Canada made things interesting in the final minutes thanks to a goal by Ryan Pullock with 4:54 left in the game. But with the goaltender pulled for the extra attacker, American forward Matt Lane got the puck at centre ice and sent it into the empty net to seal both the win and the top seed for Team USA. Our coach told us to just keep playing at the second intermission, said Jones. One of our mottos is to win the third period, so we really try to work on that and to outwork teams for the full 60 minutes, and I think we accomplished that tonight. Neither team was able to get the upper hand in the opening period. Team USA had the best chance in the frame when Lane was taken down by defenceman Damon Severson and was awarded a penalty shot. On the attempt Lane went to the backhand but couldnt lift the puck over Murrays pads.
Special teams got plenty of ice time in the second frame, as each team scored a pair of goals on the power play. The Americans were the first to run into penalty trouble. Less than two minutes into the second frame, Connor Carrick went to the box on a slashing call, and on the power play Troy Bourke sent a pass in front of the crease to Hunter Shinkaruk, who slotted the puck into the open net to score for Canada and break Team USAs streak of ten straight periods and over 200 minutes without allowing a goal at the U18 world championship.
But Canada found itself down a man only thirty seconds after scoring the opening goal, and Matt Grzelcyk made the Canadians pay with a hard shot from the top of the circle to tie the game. The US followed up with two penalties of their own however, and on the second power play Canadian captain Matt Dumba scored with a high wrist shot with ten minutes remaining in the period.I thought we gave them some life with the power play in the second period, said Team Canada head coach Jesse Wallin. We took an unnecessary penalty with the check from behind and it hurt us to lose Rychel for ten minutes. Its wasnt for a lack of effort but it looked like guys were trying to do to much.""I think today was still our best game of the tournament so far and weve been getting progressively better, we were right there to the end and there were a lot of positives that we can take from that game.Both teams traded penalties after Dumbas goal, but with under two minutes left Kerby Rychel received a ten minute game misconduct for checking from behind, and the Americans scored off a rebound goal from Riley Barber to knot the game up 2-2 at the second intermission.
Canada will now play against Russia on Thursday in Breclav, while the United States get a couple of days off while they await the quarter-final winner.Switzerland Germany 2-6 (0-4, 0-1, 2-1)
ZNOJMO Germany looked every bit the part of a team determined to avoid the relegation round, jumping on the Swiss for four early goals in the first period on its way to a 6-2 victory. The win books a place in the quarter-finals for the Germans, who sent Latvia down to the relegation round in the process.
Markus Eisenschmid had a goal and an assist and Leon Draisaitl scored a pair of goals in the opening period and finished with three points in the game. Benjamin Zietek, Sven Ziegler, and Tim Bender also scored for Germany, and goaltender Patrick Klein made 37 saves in the game.
The Swiss managed to avoid a shutout thanks to late goals from Fabrice Herzog and Dario Simion in the third period. Switzerland will now join Denmark, Czech Republic, and Latvia in the relegation round. Germany is set to face Finland in Thursdays quarter-final in Breclav.
The playoff qualification is a positive end to an up and down preliminary round for Germany, which opened the tournament with an 8-1 thrashing at the hands of Swede, before coming back to record a historic 4-2 upset against Russia, the first time Germany has ever beaten the Russians at the U18 level.
Following that game Germany lost a close match 5-4 to Latvia, which put their qualification chances in jeopardy. But because Latvia lost to Russia by such a wide margin in its opening game, the tiebreaker system puts the Germans ahead on goal difference.

Love the glasses color & shape. The arms flex really well to allow comfort fit on the head but they still squeeze & cause me headaches if worn for too long. Also the right lens isn't flush with the frame causing the glasses to look weird when viewed from my side or "profile" view.

Giants go young in Draft's first round
SF takes two high-school power pitchers, talented outfielder
Continuing their pursuit of pitching talent, the San Francisco Giants selected left-hander Madison Bumgarner and right-hander Tim Alderson with their first two selections in the First-Year Player Draft on Thursday.
Bumgarner, a 17-year-old from South Caldwell High School in Hudson, N.C., was taken 10th overall with the first of San Francisco's three first-round Draft choices. Alderson, an 18-year-old from Horizon High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., was the 22nd overall pick. The Giants concluded their first-round haul by selecting outfielder Wendell Fairley, 19, from George County-Lucedale (Miss.) High School with the 29th overall pick. Including infielder Nick Noonan of Parker High School in San Diego, taken with the 32nd overall selection, the Giants drafted high schoolers with their first four picks. "We knew [the Draft] was high-school heavy, so we had to be prepared to cross that bridge," Giants general manager Brian Sabean said. The Giants took three pitchers with their first four picks last year. Their last six first-round picks were pitchers, although their first selections in two recent drafts, Eddy Martinez-Esteve (2004) and Ben Copeland (2005), were outfielders taken in the second and fourth rounds, respectively. In some ways, drafting Bumgarner marked a departure for the Giants. He became their first left-hander taken as a No. 1 pick since Mike Remlinger in 1987. He's also the first prep player they've drafted No. 1 since Matt Cain in 2002. The last high-school left-hander the Giants drafted in the first round was Frank Riccelli in 1971. Dick Tidrow, the Giants' vice president of player personnel, acknowledged the possibility that Bumgarner and Alderson could duplicate Cain's rapid ascent to the Major Leagues. Cain pitched only 76 Minor League games over two full seasons and parts of two others before the Giants promoted him late in the 2005 season. "Both them are on the fast track because of stuff, size and abilities," Tidrow said. Tidrow was especially upbeat about Bumgarner's chances: "Basically he has to pitch a year or two and he'll be a big-league starter."Pick | POS | Name | School |

Boxer Jack Johnson was born in Galveston, Texas, in 1878. In 1908 he became the first African-American to win the world heavyweight crown when he knocked out the reigning champ, Tommy Burns. The fast living Johnson held on to the title until 1915 and continued to box until he was 50. He died in an automobile accident in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1946.
"The fight between life and death is to the finish, and death ultimately is the victor. ... I do not deplore the passing of these crude old days."
Early Years
The first black heavyweight champion, John Arthur "Jack" Johnson was born on March 31, 1878, in Galveston, Texas. The son of ex-slaves and the third of nine children, Johnson possessed an air of confidence and drive to exceed beyond the hardscrabble life his parents had known.
After a few years of school, Johnson went to work as a laborer to help support his family. A good deal of his childhood, in fact, was spent working on boats and sculleries in Galveston.
By the age of 16, Johnson was on his own, travelling to New York and later Boston before returning to his hometown. Johnson's first fight came around this time. His opponent was a fellow longshoreman, and while the purse wasn't much—just $1.50—Johnson jumped at the chance and won the fight. Not long after he earned $25 for managing to stick out four rounds against professional boxer Bob Thompson.
Rise to Champion
Eager to get out of Galveston and try and forge a life around boxing, Johnson left his home again in 1899. By the early 1900s, the 6'2" Johnson, who'd become known as the Galveston Giant, had made a name for himself in the black boxing circuit and had his eyes set on the world heavyweight title, which was held by white boxer Jim Jeffries. But Jeffries refused to fight him. He wasn't alone. White boxers would not spar with their black counterparts.
But Johnson's talents and bravado were too hard to ignore. Finally, on December 26, 1908, the flamboyant Johnson, who often taunted his opponents as he beat them soundly, got his chance for the title when champion Tommy Burns fought him outside of Sydney, Australia.
Burns, who had succeeded Jeffries as champion, had only agreed to fight Johnson after promoters guaranteed him $30,000. The fight, which novelist Jack London attended and wrote about for a New York newspaper, lasted until the 14th round, when police stepped in and ended it. Johnson was named the winner.
Fight of the Century
From there, Johnson continued his calls for Jeffries to step into the ring with him. On July 4, 1910, he finally did. Dubbed the "Fight of the Century," more than 22,000 eager fans turned out for the bout, held in Reno, Nevada. After 15 rounds, Johnson came away victorious, affirming his domain over boxing and further angering white boxing fans who hated seeing a black man sit atop the sport.
Jeffries was humbled by the loss and what he'd seen of his opponent. "I could never have whipped Johnson at my best," Jeffries said. "I couldn't have hit him. No, I couldn't have reached him in 1,000 years."
For the fight, Johnson earned a purse of $117,000. It would be five years before he relinquished the heavyweight title, when Johnson fell to Jess Willard in a 26-round bout in Havana, Cuba.

Hey All, I'm writing this update for you from my hotel room in LA. I've been over here to perform at Clive Davis' legendary pre-Grammy party. I had rehearsals on Thursday which were so much fun - I had a full live band playing with me for this show (the MD is Rickey Minor who is truly incredible!) It feels so good to be performing live and being able to bring my music to America and perform over here. I feel really honoured to have this opportunity!

The Salt Lake Comic Con's Day two included all the scary and elaborate costumes you'd expect at this type of event.
"It gives them a sense of getting outside of the pressures of the world," said Pokemon's Andrea Sargent.
It started with old comics written to take the average American's mind away from the world wars and Depression into a fantasy. But it's not on paper anymore.
"It's digital, its card games being played, its role playing, larping, it all kind of mingles together," said Sargent.
Games like Pokemon that have blossomed in this fantasy world of entertainment. It's all handheld, lights up, and changes with the click of a button.
"You have this game pad and you get to put heroes on the game pad and you get to chose if you play monsters university or the invencibes or whatever you want," said gamer Karleah Stucky.
You can be and do whatever you want, no matter your age
"It's harry potter, dr who, or game of thrones," said Thomas Horton dressed as a Dr. Who character.
What was once thought of as nerdy or geeky, now is cool. Like Harry Potter's success linking all generations into a new kind of super hero with magical powers. Whether it's your grandfather's milk cartons full of old comic books, or the kids playing in front of a screen, Comic Con brings out one thing they all share in common.
"Entertainment and world that you get to escape into and enjoy and then talk about it," said Horton.

Please Help, What Do I Have Here?
These are photos of Armenian cucumber roots, are the white nodules nitrogen-fixing? I know about nitrogen-fixing in Fabaceae family, are there nitrogen-fixing clade in Cucumis or I'm looking at nematodes? Thanks for your help.

I have no idea, but I found a picture that looked similar called root knot nematatodes. Maybe google search images and see if it looks similar. I am guess the plant looked dead.

Shawn Ann, michelle, Rohrerbot,
Thank you for your input, I think you are right about root knot nematodes. Fortunately the soil is isolated in a half barrel, I'll follow UC Davis pest notes on Nematodes to treat the soil and not use the container for a while. - August 23, 2011 at 11:10 PM
- Daphne said...
Yup. Root knot nematodes. I get them too sometimes. So I rotate the Ground Control marigolds around the yard. Usually they go with my tomatoes so they don't affect them. I've been told crushed chitinous shells works too (like crab shells). But marigolds are easy and pretty and shells I'd have to import.
- August 26, 2011 at 3:20 PM
- Mac said...
Thanks for the tips, I'm solarizing the half barrel now, next spring I"ll plant marigold in there, hopefully that's the only place, every time I see wilting leaves my heart skips a beat. - August 26, 2011 at 6:19 PM

Emergency NumbersPhone Book (Must be on-campus or have a valid network account)
Erica Stonestreet, Ph.D
I can recite Robert Frost's "The Star-Splitter," Walt Whitman's "There Was A Child Went Forth," and Rilke's "Zum Einschlafen Zu Sagen" by heart. Why? Because when I sat in the arboretum of Gustavus Adolphus College and read them, they summed up everything about life and the liberal arts that inspires me, so I memorized them. So why didn't I end up studying literature? One reason is that I also loved philosophy, math, and music, and I just couldn't fit everything in. With all these interests, you might wonder how I came to be a philosopher. I usually say philosophy chose me: I couldn't help it. After I graduated from Gustavus, I tried to combine my interests in math and philosophy by trotting off to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where I did several things: studied logic and the philosophy of mathematics, earning an M.S.; learned by living away how deep my roots in Minnesota are; discovered a passion for non-academic writing (I favor the "familiar" essay); and realized how much I love humanistic education. Studying a technical discipline showed me how much of a liberal arts junkie I really am, because I missed thinking about life. So I transferred to the University of Michigan to concentrate on ethics. The work I did there (and continue to do) centers around self-creation and the reasons for action that stem from who we are: in short, the ethics of identity. I'm most interested in virtue and character, caring, and the relationships, projects and things that make us who we are in a biographical sense. Lately I've been thinking about the relationship people should have to their stuff. While at Michigan, I met and married my husband Aaron, a self-styled "enginerd" who designs wood tessellations and plays with computers. We spend our free time watching movies, reading, kayaking, and taking our schnoodle Mica for long walks. Our son Remi arrived in December 2010 and already takes after his father.

They tell a tale to quake your bones at Warehouse 31—on October 13, 1875, a woodcutter by the name of Billy Turner killed his nine-year-old daughter in a horrific accident. Unable to cope with his grief, Turner killed himself. But the pain was too great for death to assuage. Soon Pelham was under siege from a series of mysterious events. A young girl found roaming unattended along a railway. The sound of a chainsaw echoing from the forest. Glass doors sliding open as soon as somebody stepped in front of them. Today, Warehouse 31 stands on the site of that ill-fated lumberyard, and guests can experience some scares of their own, thanks to a cast of monsters, high-tech animatronics, and gravely unhinged clowns.
The show will commence with performances from up-and-coming singer-songwriters Alex Wong and Vienna Tang before Carlile takes the stage of the restored 1920s-era theater. The Washington State–native songstress's melodic acoustic-guitar-based music blends rock and country into soft folk tunes that have been featured in commercials and on TV shows such as Grey's Anatomy, and the experienced show-woman has toured with the likes of Sheryl Crow and Ray LaMontagne. Your Groupon is good for one ticket in the 100, 200, 300, or 400 orchestra-level sections of the intimate, 1,900-seat theater, and seats are issued on a first-come, first-served basis at will-call, so arrive early to get up close.
Now in their 86th season, the Harlem Globetrotters continue to entertain millions of parents, children, and general basketball admirers with a trademark blend of athletic precision and razzle-dazzle showmanship. For their 2012 world tour, a rotating roster of Globetrotter favourites takes to the hardwood each game, so spectators might spot Special K Daley sharing a behind-the-back pass with newcomer Jacob "Hops" Tucker, the 2011 College Slam Dunk champion whose 50-inch vertical leap cruelly dashed his dreams of working in a ceiling-fan store. The Globetrotters might also present a study in contrasts with five-foot-two Too Tall Hall and seven-foot-eight Paul "Tiny" Sturgess, the world's tallest professional basketball player.
Britney Spears hurtles back into the earth's stratosphere, pulling out all the stops, raising roofs, and dousing all of mankind's melancholia in glitter and beatitude on her fiery Femme Fatale tour. From Mouseketeer to multifaceted entertainer, Britney Spears has seared dance floors throughout her career with infectious sonic shrapnel while soothing countless ears scarred by the sound of exploding chalkboards. Unleashing fresh cuts dripping with danceable dubstep beats and tireless techno melodies, the Femme Fatale tour shares its stagecoach with a lineup of glam girl-powered acts. Spunky electropop outfit Jessie and the Toy Boys and the feisty twisted-sister duo of NERVO round out a night stuffed with golden vocals, brick-thick beats, and floor-shaking choreography that will undoubtedly awaken the arena's downstairs neighbors.
Formed in the glory days of heavy metal, Queensrÿche rocks audiences with songs that reveal the fierce polish of 30 years of evolving artistry. The band's distinctive mix of prog rock, metal, and subliminal messaging rocketed its Empire album up the charts, launching hits such as "Silent Lucidity," "Jet City Woman," and "Best I Can." Normally reserved only for members of Queensrÿche's fan club, a backstage meet-and-greet lets a small group of the devoted make personal connections with the four lords of loudness, shaking their lightning-fast hands and comparing headbanging techniques. Opening band Driven thrashes through a set of classic hard-rock covers and original cuts as raging as a riverbed full of angry bulls.

Born in 1959, John Duffy was a British serial killer who murdered multiple women the 1980s in partnership with his childhood friend David Mulcahy. The concept of psychological offender profiling, which was evolving at the time, helped police catch Duffy. He revealed his accomplice ten years later.
Early Life
John Duffy was a brutal rapist and killer who struck lone women at railway stations throughout the southeast of England and London.
He was at first thought to have carried out his heinous crimes alone and was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders. But police were sure that Duffy had an accomplice.
Only after 15 years did the advances of forensic science allow authorities to arrest David Mulcahy, a childhood friend of Duffy, who was eventually convicted.
Today Mulcahy still maintains his innocence, insisting that Duffy implicated him in the murders.
John Duffy and David Mulcahy had been lifelong friends since their days together at school in north London.
They both shared an early sadistic streak for tormenting and torturing animals starting with a hedgehog, which Mulcahy beat to death with a plank when he was just 13.
As they got older the boys began to transfer their sadistic and misogynistic tendencies to women, fuelling each other's dark sexual fantasies.
It is baffling to understand how a young friendship could have degenerated into a secret life of violence, rape, and murder. One theory is that bullying, which both Mulcahy and Duffy endured as schoolboys, may have been a key factor in driving them to rape and kill.
Whatever the trigger, the two boys had developed a severely psychotic side to their personalities at an early age. As he grew older, Duffy married and became a martial arts fanatic.
Their brutal crimes began on July 1, 1982, when the pair attacked and violently raped a 23-year-old woman in north London. Over the next four years 18 more women would be attacked.
Despite John Duffy's police record—he assaulted his wife and was found carrying a knife - he was still able to carry out a string of sexual assaults and commit two murders over a 15 month period.
On July 1, 1982, Duffy and Mulcahy attacked and raped a woman close to Hampstead Station in London's Hampstead village.
The assault gave the two psychopaths a taste for terrorizing women in similar scenarios and for the next 12 months women were assaulted across London and its suburbs.
In all, 18 women were raped near various train stations, as well as in an area close to Duffy's Kilburn house.
The police set up an urgent workshop to try to find the perpetrators, called Operation Hart. It was the largest investigation to take place in the U.K. since the Yorkshire Ripper investigation a few years earlier.
In Autumn 1983 the attacks suddenly stopped. Police later found out that this coincided with Duffy's separation from his wife.
Early in 1984 the attacks began again, this time in west London and north London.

Students interested in participating must attend the Spring 2014 organization meeting, to be held Thursday January 23, 443 Evans Hall, 5.00pm.
Note the style is not "I give you a specific project and tell you how to do it". Rather, please read "general styles of possible future projects" and browse some of the previous projects below. An ideal project will find interesting real-world data for which some notion of "chance" is involved, and then describe the data, either qualitatively or via some quantitative analysis. Other projects involve simulating math models by writing code -- in particular drawing graphics or devising algorithms to compute things. The point is to find some project relevant to your interests and expertize.
To be accepted, we need to agree on a project, over the first 2 weeks of the semester. There is a weekly meeting in which everyone says what they have done in the last week. The regular weekly meeting will continue to be Friday 9.30 - 10.30 in room 443 Evans.

Looking for a set of seats for my TJ. Factory would just fine but j prefer the 02ish charcoal or agate..
Would also take a pair of 03-06 black or charcoal seats with brackets Could also settle for just a drivers seat if it is the later version charcoal agate Please let me know what you have and what you are looking to get on them.

i don't much care for you
I love the rear flip seat. Wish it was more TJ friendly but might try to make it work anyway. I am strongly considering the moabs. I can get em just under 700 with the brackets and sliders. If I could do the whole job front rear and all bracketry for 700 I would do that I like the new xrs's or whatever they are called. But you have to modify your roll cage to run em in a TJ. |

If I stay with factory seats, I am really hoping for the later version. the dark charcoal with triangles that was found in the 02's. Trying to stay away from the earlier ones especially with drivers seat damage.
And thanks for the link trail rail...but that's not what I'm looking for. |

Having logged over 4000 citizens on the first India-specific indigenous carbon footprint calculator, no2co2 strives to elevate climate change from a narrow environmental issue to a state of climate change responsibility, accountability, solutions awareness and participation in the pursuit of limiting global temperature rise to 2 degrees centigrade relative to pre-industrial levels by year 2100, in accordance with it's vision statement.
NO2CO2Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetation. Humans use this wind flow, or motion energy, for many purposes: sailing, flying a kite, and even generating electricity. The terms wind energy or wind power describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity.
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity. So how do wind turbines make electricity? Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Wind energy is fueled by the wind, so it's a clean fuel source. Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gasses.

Hi. I have been studying Astrology for about 13 years. It helps me to understand life better. I love coming up with my own theories and philosophies using astrology as the basis. I have a unique perspective and I love hearing other opinions on astrology as well. My main belief is that the stars do not control you or determine your life, they just tell the story in an outline form. They are there to guide and help with decisions. I am also a musician and artist. I love all works of creativity and art. I try to combine my love of astrology with my love of art on this blog. I write all my astrology articles. I repost articles on other topics (science, tarot, stones, etc) The only art that is mine says that it is mine. I do my best to adhere to copyright laws when posting art. If you are an artist and you want me to remove your art please say so and I apologize for the oversight. Thanks and enjoy!
