Replacing Phil Coke in the Tigers rotation is Charlie Furbush. It's about time that Leyland gave Furbush a mustache ride. Furbush also sounds like a character description for someone in a Woodstock documentary. Or a character name in a 70′s porn flick made by Leyland called, "The Marlboro Mandingo." That was co-starring Virginia Slim. Furbush looked great in the minors, posting a solid K-rate while keeping his walks in line. He is not a 2-something ERA pitcher as he's shown so far this year. He's leaving 93% of men on base, that won't continue. He can give you around a 7 K-rate with a 3.75 to 4.00 ERA. I'd grab Furbush in H2H mixed leagues for matchups and in AL-Only leagues. In roto mixed leagues, you can grab him in certain circumstances, but caveat emptor for our Latin readers. (BTW, To all the Googlers who searched for Furbush and weren't looking for a fantasy baseball site — howdy!) Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Cole Hamels – Hit on his hand by a comebacker, but x-rays came back negative. Speaking of negatives that are positive, yesterday frequent commenter DHill Dragons pointed out the Phillies starting staff in June had a 1.96 ERA. A Philly quartet hasn't been this hot since Boys II Men.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Learning From Notre Dame: Catholic Identity is Not Optional
Catholic identity requires that the College community understand its ecclesial nature and mission.
Education is not something the Church adds something to, as though the process of educating were some kind of nakedly secular pursuit which the Church somehow makes �religious�. Rather, education is at the core of the Churches� saving mission.
Notre Dame�s decision to confer an honorary Doctor of Law Degree upon a President who fails to recognize the Right to Life has a silver lining. Catholics in America are saying �Not in our House�. Notre Dame is named after the Woman who�s �yes� to the Angel forever changed human history. The Incarnate Word became flesh and dwelt within Our Lady. Jesus was an embryonic person and developed as a child in the first home of the whole human race, the womb of His Holy Mother. That fundamental truth lies at the heart of the Christian claim. Every procured abortion is an intrinsically evil act because it is the taking of innocent human life. It can never be accepted as a �right� even if the errant positive law proclaims if to be so. The Natural Law written on every human heart confirms what science demonstrates, the child in the womb is one of us.
This U.S.President who calls us to care for our neighbor has a terrible blind side in his claims to compassion and solidarity. He fails to hear the cry of the poor in the womb. In the words of the Bishops of the United States: �The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.� In spite of the sophistry of Fr. Jenkins, Notre Dame has overtly disobeyed this clear instruction.
The challenge faced by all serving the Church as she is present in the Catholic College community can be understood within a broader challenge facing the whole Church, what the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council called the �separation between faith and life.� This separation was addressed in their document on the Mission of the Church in the Modern World: "This council exhorts Christians, as citizens of two cities, to strive to discharge their earthly duties conscientiously and in response to the Gospel spirit. They are mistaken who, knowing that we have here no abiding city but seek one which is to come think that they may therefore shirk their earthly responsibilities. For they are forgetting that by the faith itself they are more obliged than ever to measure up to these duties, each according to his proper vocation. Nor, on the contrary, are they any less wide of the mark who think that religion consists in acts of worship alone and in the discharge of certain moral obligations, and who imagine they can plunge themselves into earthly affairs in such a way as to imply that these are altogether divorced from the religious life. This split between the faith which many profess and their daily lives deserves to be counted among the more serious errors of our age."
Western culture would not be in moral decline if Catholics lived their Christian faith in an integrated manner,in the words of Pope Benedict with "moral coherence". It was to respond to this challenge that the late Servant of God, John Paul II, called for a �New Evangelization.� That call has borne fruit throughout the entire Church, including in the new Catholic Colleges and the renewed and restored Catholic Colleges. They are a primary resource for the work that must be done. The Catholic College must become the front line. Before Antioch, where the followers of Jesus were first called Christians, they were often referred to as �The Way� (See, Acts 22). Their lifestyle was different from that of the prevailing culture. Their faith informed how they lived their daily lives. It also made their evangelizing and sanctifying mission extraordinarily fruitful. This new way of living is still meant to be normative among those who bear the name Christian. Its� recovery is essential to the mission of the whole Church in the Third Millennium.
Catholic Identity
Within the Catholic College there has been an erosion of Catholic identity on many campuses. Catholic identity requires that the College community understand its ecclesial nature. In an institution, just as in persons, it begins from the inside and works its way throughout like leaven or yeast in a loaf. Catholic identity must become the beating heart of a Catholic College and provide the infrastructure for its entire educational mission. When it does, the building of a Catholic culture on campus becomes a fruit. This kind of Catholic culture helps to ensure the integration of the faith in every aspect of the academy through word and witness. It flourishes when all who are involved in this educational mission, from the Catholic College President to the Professor in the classroom, first view themselves as disciples, lifelong learners, followers of the Teacher, Jesus Christ.
This response is lived within His Body, the Church, into which they have been incorporated through Baptism. That Church is by its very nature, a teacher, and they participate in her educational mission. In speaking of herself, the Church often notes that she is an �expert in humanity� who �walks the way of the person�. The Church is, both �Mater et Magister� �Mother and Teacher.� Education is not something the Church adds something to, as though the process of educating were some kind of nakedly secular pursuit which the Church somehow makes �religious�. Rather, education is at the core of the Churches� saving mission.
The Catholic College President
The articulation and sustenance of this vision and mission are the primary responsibility of the Catholic College President. Such a President must understand his/her task as pedagogical, pastoral, catechetical and developmental. All leadership within the Catholic College is a part of the Catholic ecclesial community and participates in the leadership of the Church. Catholic College Presidents need to understand the uniqueness of Catholic leadership, believe it, and live it. Catholic identity should be the first criterion considered in choosing Presidents and the measuring stick for their regular performance review. It should motivate their service, and inform everything that they do in discharging their office. The Catholic College President is at the service of the Catholic Church and then through her called to prepare leaders for the world. He or she should understand the implications of the faith on the entirety of the educational mission. They are not simply secular professionals offering their skills in a Catholic College. They participate in the saving mission of the Catholic Church. The students entrusted to their care are �living stones being built into a spiritual household� (I Peter 2:5) who have been called to build the future. Their call as Catholic College Presidents is to articulate a compelling vision and mission in word and deed and help the academic community placed in their care along the Catholic way.
I have seen how clear vision and leadership can transform a Catholic College. I will end by sharing a brief part of my personal experience. The full story can be found in several books. As a young man, after almost two years in a Benedictine monastery, I finished my College education in a little College in Ohio. I followed a priest friend there. He had been invited to save the school from impending disaster through becoming its President. It was already morally and spiritually bankrupt and would soon be financially so without a rescue plan. He prayed intensely about the invitation and offered to accept upon a condition. The Board had to give him freedom to rededicate the school as a Catholic school to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life with full adherence to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. The Trustees agreed.
When I arrived on campus three of the four dormitories on campus were empty. The theology major had been cancelled for lack of interest and there was talk of discontinuing daily Mass due to lack of attendance. I moved into an empty dorm and led one of the first �faith households�, the nucleus of a new model of student life implemented as a part of the vision of this Catholic College President. Students were to live a common Christian life in the wing of a dorm which included attending Mass, studying the faith together, engaging in mission and supporting one another to live full Catholic lives within a College environment. That wonderful little College became the Franciscan University of Steubenville. Under the leadership of Fr. Michael Scanlan the College of Steubenville was built into a dynamically orthodox global Catholic University. Now it is only one of many jewels in the growing Crown that is the recovery of Catholic higher education. What happened at Steubenville is not an isolated story. It is happening in other Catholic Colleges. It requires a rediscovery of and full commitment to Catholic identity. We need to learn from Notre Dame: Catholic Identity is Not Optional

forgive me, I ended prematurely.
As I was saying in response to Mr. Ready:
The Holy Father has declared that, "...Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. For example, if a Catholic were to be at odds with the Holy Father on the application of capital punishment or on the decision to wage war, he would not for that reason be considered unworthy to present himself to receive Holy Communion. While the Church exhorts civil authorities to seek peace, not war, and to exercise discretion and mercy in imposing punishment on criminals, it may still be permissible to take up arms to repel an aggressor or to have recourse to capital punishment. There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia." So, I believe this makes your argument specious, at best and cynical at worst.
The Blessed Mother weeps...Notre Dame, change your name.
Thank you...and please pray for everyone connected to this issue on both sides. -

Well, I see the Notre Dame apologists have finally mobilized. Daniel Amiri calls Franciscan University "Jesus Camp"...demonstrating his self-proclaimed "kindness and respect..." but instead insulting Jesus, Franciscan and himself. Daniel, have you ever been to Steubenville? Do you know anything about it really? Then Mr. Tim Ready Then leaps into the fray saying that if we disagree with him then we "...do not know Notre Dame..." Respectfully, Mr. Ready, I'm one of those ignorant Catholics who has donated well into the high five figures to NDU over the past couple of decades...likely paying your salary and subsidizing your scholarship(s). I always appreciate being told that a Catholic institution should compromise its values for the greater seculer and worldly good by the likes of you. Incidentally, the holy Father stated clearly and unambiguously that not all moral issues carry the same weight.

It is interesting to note that the University of Arizona will NOT honor Mr. Obama with an honorary degree when he speaks at their commencement on May 13th. Their stance is that they do not honor someone who has no body of work behind them. What a further embarassment for ND!

Thank you for this article.
I too am proud to be Catholic and I pray for this continued re-discovery of our Catholic Identity and way of life, not only in the Colleges but in the life and home of every Catholic.
Jesus is making everything new again - a new springtime in the church and in the world. It is a wonderful time to be alive. Where Jesus is - there is hope for Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life.
Thank you
God Bless -

As a Catholic community we need to ask for the resignation of Notre Dame's President.

Our lives as Catholics is to know God, love God, and serve God. Place our will secondary to His. Sacrifice our lives for His purpose. It is easy to do otherwise and hide behind reason, or mutual respect, or exploring yourself. It is what we practice that makes us, "in Christ" - which is difficult to do when your leaders follow sin. God knows all of us more than we know ourselves, and He is fighting for our souls through us - well, those of us whom choose to let Him reign in us. I applaud the ND student whom chooses to follow His will while in college, you are awesome! Thanks for the hope and faith.

A clear presentation on the responsibilities of Catholic universities and their great potential.

Were it not for the powerful witness of The College of Steubenville now Franciscan University, I might never have become a Catholic convert in 1980. And that was just from reading about the college in New Covenant magazine. The first time I visited that campus as a recent convert, it was like a foretaste of heaven. My husband and I attended a conference on marriage and family where an Italian Monsignor impressed me with some very powerful words: "All our monuments will someday crumble, the White House, the Kremlin, even the buildings of the Vatican. In the end only two things will remain, Gods Glory and the beauty of your person." I pray that somehow those directing the future of Notre Dame will come to understand that message.

4dr Sdn 3.2L Premier Plus
Starting at | Starting at 20 MPG City - 29 MPG Highway
The S80 is Volvo's flagship 4-door sedan, and following on Volvo tradition, it's among the safest in its class of high-end luxury sedans, making it an excellent alternative to the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. And with available all-wheel-drive, it's a capable performer in inclement weather and several powerful engines mean that although it's safe, it's still fun to drive.
Following a 2011 redesign of the S80, 2012 brings a complete reworking of the Volvo sedan's trim lineup. Both the base S80 and the 3.0L turbocharged all-wheel drive model come in new Premier Plus and Platinum trims. The Premier Plus adds HomeLink universal garage door opener, keyless drive with a personal car communicator (a system that allows remote monitoring of the vehicle's status and includes a heartbeat sensor) and a front and rear park assist system. Platinum trim adds a voice-activated navigation system and a rear parking camera.
In 2011, Volvo's premium sedan got completely redesigned from the ground up, with what Volvo says are nearly 700 changes over the 2010 model, making it even safer and more luxurious. The 2012 is pretty much the same as last year's model, with a few tweaks to equipment availability.

De humani corporis fabrica
De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (Latin for On the fabric of the human body in seven books) is a collection of textbooks on human anatomy written by Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) and published in 1543.[1]
The collection of books are based on his Paduan lectures, during which he deviated from common practice by dissecting a corpse to illustrate what he was discussing. Dissections previously had been performed by a barber surgeon under the direction of a doctor of medicine, who was expected not to perform manual labour. Vesalius' "hands-on" magnum opus presents a careful examination of the organs and the complete structure of the human body. This would not have been possible without the many advances that had been made during the Renaissance, including both artistic developments in literal visual representation and the technical development of printing refined woodcut engravings. Because of these developments and his careful, immediate involvement, he was able to produce illustrations superior to any that had been produced up to then.
Volumes of the Collection Based Off Richardson and Carman's "On the Fabric of the Human Body"[edit]
Based off the collection of William Frank Richardson and John Burd Carman's, "On the Fabric of the Human Body", Vesalius' work has been translated, and made easier to understand Vesalius' use of anatomical text. In each translated book, Richardson and Carman explains each topic of Vesalius' dissections, and presents a brief timeline of Vesalius' life. In each of Vesalius' books, which is presented in the translated version, his use of symbols displayed on the printed figures of the dissections allows the readers to refer back from text to figure.
Book 1: The Bones and Cartilage[edit]
This first book of Vesalius is about a fourth of the entire collection. It presents Vesalius' observations of human bones and cartilages, which he collected from cemeteries. Vesalius goes over the physical appearance of human bones, the differentiation of human bones and cartilages by function. In each chapter he describes the bones in great detail, explaining their physical qualities in different angles. In the beginning chapters, Vesalius "gives general aspects of bones and skeletal organization, dealing with the differences in texture, strength, and resilience between bone and cartilage; explaining the complex differences between types of joints and reviewing some basic elements of descriptive techniques and terminology. " A major theme of this book is does Galen accurately describe the bones of the human skeleton. When Vesalius is presenting the skeleton in front of his students, he must also present the bones of animals to allow credibility in Galen's observations of bones.
Book 2: The Ligaments and Muscles[edit]
In book two, Vesalius describes the structure of the muscles, the agents used in creating movement for our bodies, and the material used to hold the joints together. Through his observing of butchers cutting meat, Vesalius was able to incorporate the skills of the butchers into the dissection of the human body. Vesalius explains the order one should dissect a single human body to effectively observe each muscle the body contains. Each figure in the book displays a deepening view of the human body where one could follow along while dissecting a human body. He also mentions the instruments needed in order to perform a dissection. In this book, Vesalius began to notice how Galen's anatomical descriptions did not match with his observations. In order to not slander Galen, Vesalius explains how Galen's use of anatomical structure is in fact correct, but not for humans. He even continues to mention some of the structures the way Galen would have.
Book 3: The Veins and Arteries, Book 4: The Nerves[edit]
In books three and four, Vesalius describes the veins, arteries, and nerves as vessels but is aware of the differing physical appearance: veins and arteries contains a hollow channel, but nerves do not. Vesalius explains the route in which air travels through the lungs and the heart. He describes this process as "a tree whose trunks divide into branches and twigs". He also describes how the body contains four veins (the portal vein, the venae cavae, the artery-like vein, and the umbilical vein) and two arteries (the aorta, and the vein-like artery) that are the main vessels that branches out into other smaller veins and arteries. Vesalius would recognize about six hundred vessels in his tables concerning the arteries, veins, and nerves but fails to mention those smaller vessels located in the hands and feet, the terminal vessels of the cutaneous nerves, or the vessels in the lungs and liver.
Book 5:The Organs of Nutrition and Generation[edit]
In book five, Vesalius presents detailed descriptions of the organs of nutrition, the urinary system, and the male and female reproductive systems. The alimentary and reproductive systems each make up about forty percent of the book, while the renal system and the proper techique in dissecting this portion of the body completes it. The final chapter in this book, which turns out to be the longest chapter of the entire collection, gives a detailed step-by-step instruction on how to dissect the abdominopelvic organs. In the first half of the book, Vesalius describes the peritoneum, the esophagus, the stomach, the omentum, the intestines and the mesentery. He then goes on to describe the liver, gall bladder, and the spleen. Finally, Vesalius describes the kidneys, the bladder, and the ureters. Although Vesalius was unfamiliar with the anatomy of pregnancy, he presents images of the placenta and the fetal membrane, using anatomical reference from Galen of a dog's reproductive organs to compare them with those of a human.
Book 6: The Heart and Associated Organs, Book 7: The Brain[edit]
In books six and seven, Vesalius describes the substances and functions of the heart and the organs of respiration, the brain and its coverings, the eye, the organs of sensation, and the nerves of the limbs.He also dedicates a chapter on the vivisection of the eye. Vesalius further describes the organs of the body in great detail by commenting "on the variable strength of the attachment of the pleura to the thoraic walls, the strong attachment of the pericardium to the diaphragm, the shape and orientation of the ventricles of the heart, and the description of the semi lunar valves." He sums up each book with a chapter on the proper way of dissecting the heart and the brain for those who would like to follow along.
Galen's Errors[edit]
Fabrica rectified some of Galen's worst errors, including the notion that the great blood vessels originated from the liver. While examining a human corpse, Vesalius discovered that Galen's observations were inconsistent with those of his, due to Galen's use of animal (dogs and monkeys) cadavers. Even with his improvements, however, Vesalius clung to some of Galen's errors, such as the idea that there was a different type of blood flowing through veins than arteries. It was not until William Harvey's work on the circulation of the blood that this misconception of Galen would be rectified in Europe.
Vesalius had the work published at the age of 28, taking great pains to ensure its quality, and dedicated it to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. The more than 250 illustrations are of great artistic merit and are generally attributed by modern scholars to the "studio of Titian" rather than Johannes Stephanus of Calcar, who provided drawings for Vesalius' earlier tracts, but in a much inferior style.[citation needed] The woodcuts were greatly superior to the illustrations in anatomical atlases of the day, which were never made by anatomy professors themselves. The woodcut blocks were transported to Basel, Switzerland, as Vesalius wished that the work be published by one of the foremost printers of the time, Johannes Oporinus. Vesalius' written directions to Oporinus (the iter) were so valuable the printer decided to include them. The illustrations were engraved on wooden blocks, which allowed for very fine detail.[2]
The success of Fabrica recouped the work's considerable expense, and brought him European fame, partly through cheap unauthorized copies that rapidly appeared[citation needed]. He was appointed physician to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V; Vesalius presented him with the first published copy (bound in silk of imperial purple, with specially hand-painted illustrations not found in any other copy). To accompany the Fabrica, Vesalius published a condensed, less expensive Epitome, which became more widely seen than the Fabrica'; it contained eight anatomical engravings that condensed visual material from the Fabrica, one illustration of the human skeleton taken directly from the Fabrica, and two new woodcut plates.[3] Vesalius published a second edition of Fabrica in 1555; annotations in a copy of that edition donated to the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto, have been identified as Vesalius' own, showing that he was contemplating a third edition, never achieved.[4]
Of pharmacological interest, Fabrica mentions digitalis, which is still an important inotropic agent used to treat congestive heart failure.
Surviving copies[edit]
A copy of the book bound in tanned human skin was donated to Brown University's John Hay Library by an alumnus. Its cover is "polished to a smooth golden brown" and, according to those who have seen the book, it looks like fine leather. Covering medical books in human skin was not an uncommon practice until the 18th century, utilizing the skin of executed convicts and poor people who died with no one to claim the body.[5]

Book Description:Taking the legends surrounding King Arthur and weaving in new psychological elements of personal desire and courtly manner, Chretien de Troyes fashioned a new form of medieval Romance. The Knight of the Cart is the first telling of the adulterous relationship between Lancelot and Arthur's Queen Guinevere, and in The Knight with the Lion Yvain neglects his bride in his quest for greater glory. Erec and Enide explores a knight's conflict between love and honour, Cliges exalts the possibility of pure love outside marriage, while the haunting The Story of the Grail chronicles the legendary quest. Rich in symbolism, these evocative tales combine closely observed detail with fantastic adventure to create a compelling world that profoundly influenced Malory, and are the basis of the Arthurian legends we know today.

No sooner had Fleet Captain Frederic Antimony spoken these words, than a flash appeared on the viewscreen, and a half dozen enemy starfighters disappeared from existence. Antimony's crew had learned long ago to anticipate their captain's moves, and almost before the order came down the Indefatigable's powerful laser batteries lashed out with frightening efficiency. A cheer erupted from the bridge crew.
Antimony wished he could share their optimism. He knew better than to underestimate his opponent; the battle had been joined, and until it was won, he could not allow himself even a moment's lapse in concentration. And yet, Antimony could not help feeling a little disappointed. He had expected more from his opponent; so far, she displayed little of the brilliance that had forced the Imperial Starmada into this climactic confrontation.
"Captain! Three enemy destroyers are de-cloaking in our starboard quarter!"
Antimony whirled and fixed his gaze on the screen, where the new antagonists were just now coming into view. So, he thought to himself, this will be interesting after all...
Welcome to the Starmada Rules Annex — a compilation of all the game-related data from the first four Starmada supplements: the Imperial Starmada Sourcebook, Hammer & Claw, Dreadnoughts, and Iron Stars. Within these pages you will find everything you need to bring your games up to date:
In addition, players can expand upon their one-shot battles with the "Simplest Campaign System", as well as an introductory version of The Sovereign Stars: a complete board game that can be used as a scenario generator for Starmada.

I just have a question. The recipe calls for 1 egg but the directions say that mixing the flaxseed with water acts as an egg substitute. So if an egg is an ingredient, why does the recipe need an egg substitute? - 11/13/12
Reply from SHEEPSRULE (11/13/12)
That's an optional change. I believe the recipe was calculated with the real egg, and the flax was mixed into the dry ingredients.
These were good, but not as muffins. I think they are more like baked oatmeal. They make a nice on-the-go breakfast that is better for you than just muffins. I'm not sure yet if I will make them again. By the way, the above picture is not at all what mine looked like and I followed the recipe. - 5/10/13

Ellison Documentary To Open
As reported by New York Sun, the seventy-four-year old Ellison is featured in Erik Nelson's Dreams With Sharp Teeth, a new documentary on the colorful writer. In addition to the standard old television clips, interviews and historical montages, Ellison was given plenty of time to spout off about his favorite topics; the abuse of writers, Hollywood stupidity, cruelty of his fellow man and about Ellison himself. The project was begun in 2002. Age has not mellowed Ellison, who is still cranky and combative, perhaps a legacy of his childhood where he was obliged to learn how to outwit larger bullies. "He's like a skin graft on a leper," said Robin Williams who is an old friend. As one might expect, there are plenty of shots of Ellison screaming at (or about) other people. Ellison gives short dramatic readings in the documentary including one from his teleplay of The City on the Edge of Forever, an episode that became a fan favorite.
