Gene Hackman biography
Gene Hackman was born on January 30, 1930, in San Bernardino, California. He dropped out of high school to join the Marines, and then studied acting at the Pasadena Playhouse Theatre. Hackman's breakout film was Bonnie and Clyde. His famous performances include Popeye Doyle in The French Connection and Lex Luther in Superman. Hackman has received two Oscars. He has since retired from acting.
Early Life
Actor and writer Gene Hackman was born on January 30, 1930, in San Bernardino, California. An Academy Award-winning actor, Hackman played nearly every type of role imaginable, from politicians to super cops to military leaders to criminal masterminds. As a child, he moved to Illinois with his parents where his father worked as a newspaper press operator. His father abandoned the family when Hackman was in his early teens.
When he was 16 years old, Hackman dropped out of high school to join the U.S. Marine Corps. He lied about his age in order to enlist. During his time in the service, Hackman worked as a radio operator and finished his high school education. After being discharged in 1951, Hackman tried to find his way, living in Illinois and New York while working a variety of jobs. He studied journalism and TV production for a time as well.
Hackman eventually decided on acting and studied at the Pasadena Playhouse Theatre in the 1950s. Dustin Hoffman was one of his fellow students, and the two became friends and shared the dubious distinction of being voted "least likely to succeed" by their peers. Around this time, Hackman married Faye Maltese in 1956.
Big Break
Returning to New York, Hackman landed his first off-Broadway role in Chaparral in 1958. He became friends with actor Robert Duvall and even had Dustin Hoffman as a roommate for a time. Struggling for several years, Hackman landed his first film role -- only a bit part -- in 1961's Mad Dog Coll. He made his Broadway debut two years in the Children From Their Games, which was quickly followed a role in A Rainy Day in Newark later that year. Hackman was also part of the original cast of Any Wednesday with Sandy Dennis, which debuted the following year. After seeing him on Broadway, Director Robert Rossen cast Hackman in the drama Lilith (1964) with Warren Beatty.
Beatty proved instrumental in Hackman's big career breakthrough. He helped Hackman land a supporting role in Bonnie and Clyde (1967), which starred Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the infamous criminal couple. Hackman played Clyde's brother, Buck Burrow, who joins his sibling and his lady on their bank robbery spree. The role brought Hackman a lot of critical attention and his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Three years, Hackman garnered another Best Supporting Actor nod from the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences for his work on I Never Sang for My Father (1970). In the film, he played a professor trying to forge a relationship with his estranged father (played by Melvyn Douglas) after his mother's death.
Hackman's career really took off after starring in The French Connection (1971). He played the ultimate tough cop -- Detective Popeye Doyle -- in this big box office hit thriller directed by William Friedkin. For his work on the film, Hackman won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Hollywood Star
After the success of The French Connection, Hackman took on a variety of films. He joined such classic stars as Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Roddy McDowall, and Shelley Winters for the disaster-at-sea saga The Poseidon Adventure (1972). The next year, he teamed up with Al Pacino for the drama Scarecrow (1973). Hackman went on to star in Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation (1974), playing a surveillance expert who gets caught up in one of his projects. His portrayal of the measured and precise professional loner Harry Caul is another one of Hackman's most praised performance.
Hackman returned as Popeye Doyle the following year in The French Connection II (1975). Along with such successes as Bite the Bullet (1975) and Night Moves (1975), Hackman had his share of misses, including the romantic comedy Lucky Lady (1975) co-starring Liza Minnelli and Burt Reynolds.
Known for his dramatic roles, Hackman took a more comedic turn with his portrayal of super villain Lex Luthor in 1978's Superman, which starred Christopher Reeve as the legendary man of steel. He reprised his role in two sequels: Superman II (1980) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1988).
Reuniting with Warren Beatty, Hackman had a small role in Reds (1981), which was based on the true story of a politically radical journalist named John Reed. Beatty starred as Reed and also directed and produced the film. In his next effort, Hackman played a colonel who goes to Vietnam to find his son who went missing in action in Uncommon Valor (1983). He earned praise for his performance while the film itself received lackluster reviews.
Later Work
Hackman continued to explore different genres and types of characters for the remainder of the decade. With Hoosiers (1986), he played a new coach who leads a small town basketball team to victory. Hackman then played a sinister secretary of defense in No Way Out (1987) with Kevin Costner.
Hackman gave another stellar performance in the civil rights era drama Mississippi Burning (1988). In the historical dramatic thriller based on a true story, he played an F.B.I. agent investigating the murder of three civil rights workers in 1964. Hackman earned a Best Actor Academy Award nomination. Not long after this film, he had some health problems and underwent angioplasty after experiencing a near-heart attack. Hackman considered retirement for a while, but he eventually returned to films.
Working with another impressive film talent, Clint Eastwood, Hackman netted an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Unforgiven (1992). He played a cruel sheriff in this western, which Eastwood not only starred in but also directed and produced.
The film also won the award for Best Picture and Eastwood won for Best Director. Taking on a different kind of morally questionable character, Hackman played Tom Cruise's mentor in The Firm (1993), a film adaptation of a John Grisham novel.
Three years later, Hackman starred in another John Grisham adaptation, The Chamber (1996), in which he played a convicted murderer and racist facing execution. The film struck out with critics and movie-goers alike. He had better luck that year as a conservative senator with the comedy The Birdcage (1996) with Robin Williams.
In 2001, Hackman played the patriarch in Wes Anderson's offbeat family comedy The Royal Tenenbaums. Anjelica Huston co-starred as his estranged wife and Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Luke Wilson played his estranged adult children. Two years later, Hackman got a chance to work with old friend Dustin Hoffman in Runaway Jury, which also starred John Cusack. He played a jury consultant working for a gun manufacturer in a suit that Hoffman's client has brought against the company. Cusack plays a juror who offers to fix the verdict for the highest bidder.
Hackman's last film project to date was the light-hearted comedy Welcome to Mooseport (2004), in which he starred as a former president who battles a local (Ray Romano) in its mayoral elections. While promoting the film, Hackman appeared on The Larry King Show and said that he did not have another film project lined up and that his film career was "probably all over."
Off Camera
While he may have stepped away from acting, Hackman has a thriving second career as a novelist. He has co-written three books with Daniel Lenihan: Wake of the Perdido Star (1999), Justice for None (2004), and most recently, Escape from Andersonville: A Novel of the Civil War (2008).
Hackman has three children, Christopher, Elizabeth and Leslie, from his first marriage. He is currently married to Betsy Arakawa.

Published February 29, 2012
Natural gas is now flowing so fast into U.S. pipelines that the big question seems to be what to do with it all: Engineer cars to run on methanol? Reopen shuttered chemical plants that rely on gas for feedstock? Export liquefied gas by tanker? With about two-thirds of U.S. states thought to hold natural gas reserves, many take President Barack Obama seriously when he calls the United States the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas."
But just how much natural gas does the United States have?
A close look at the assessments shows that even the experts disagree. Most dramatically, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the government's own analytical team, last month slashed in half its estimate for a key and large subset of reserves: the amount of gas in shale rock formations across the country.
(Photos: "The Science of Shale Gas" and "In the Farmland, An Energy Rush")
Although the government's new estimate for total U.S. natural gas resources—2,214 trillion cubic feet (tcf)—is a third higher than its 2008 estimate, the shale gas markdown underscores the uncertainties around this new supply source. In an interview with National Geographic News, the EIA has offered a sneak preview of the more detailed explanation it will publish in April on why its shale gas estimate plummeted.
But with other geologists convinced that EIA's new numbers are too conservative, it is certain that there will be plenty of debate ahead on the size of the energy windfall from shale gas.
Newfound Riches
Ever since Texas gas producers proved less than a decade ago that they could stimulate production from seemingly impermeable and ubiquitous shale rock through a combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, shale gas production has been booming across the United States.
(See interactive: "Breaking Fuel From Rock")
Shale gas now makes up about 23 percent of U.S. production, helping to offset a fall in natural gas supplies coming from conventional wells. Shale production could double or triple over the next 25 years, EIA projects, estimating it will make up nearly half of U.S. production by 2035.
As a result, natural gas prices in the United States are now at their lowest point in a decade. Throughout the northeastern United States, homes long reliant on oil for heating have been switching in droves to cheaper natural gas. Gas now seems so abundant that the United States, which only a few years ago was contemplating major imports to address a perceived shortfall, now is contemplating new expensive port facilities to chill and liquefy gas to export it by tanker overseas. (The EIA now projects U.S. liquefied natural gas exports starting in 2016.)
The U.S. chemical industry, which depends on natural gas as a feedstock, was fleeing offshore amid high prices only a decade ago; now it is contemplating new factories in the heart of shale country.
Tom Ridge, Pennsylvania's former Republican governor and the first U.S. secretary of Homeland Security, who has worked as a consultant to the natural gas industry, co-authored an op-ed in last week's New York Times urging Congress to consider requiring carmakers to design vehicles to run on 100 percent methanol, an alcohol that can be derived from natural gas. Even though methanol has half the energy content of gasoline, he argued that the money saved compared to today's oil prices, and the security of relying on a domestic resource, would make the switch worthwhile.
But the wisdom of any of these new policy choices for an era of U.S. natural gas abundance all depends upon how much natural gas there actually is.
New doubts seemed to emerge on January 23, when the EIA issued the "early release" of its Annual Energy Outlook. A key estimate, the amount of natural gas in "unproved reserves"—areas that have not yet been drilled—was lowered dramatically. EIA's new estimate for how much gas these areas might yield was just 482 tcf, a bit more than half the 2011 estimate of 827 tcf.
What happened?
The most drastic change was for the Marcellus shale formation, underlying Pennsylvania, New York, and West Virginia. The EIA used the new analysis from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), along with the known histories of production from wells in the area, to create a new estimate.
(Related: "Natural Gas Stirs Hope and Fear in Pennsylvania")
The 2011 estimate figured "unproved reserves" in the Marcellus were 410 tcf, but the new estimate plummeted by two-thirds, to 141 tcf.
Because shale gas production in the Marcellus is still relatively new, having catapulted to prominence only in the past few years, researchers are still working to understand just how much gas each well might produce over the long run.
In the "core area" of the Marcellus—where most of drilling activity has taken place so far—the EIA had assumed before that each well would, in time, produce 3.5 billion cubic feet of gas. But with new data on how much gas wells have produced to date, the EIA's calculation came out lower, with each well expected to produce about 2 billion cubic feet, a drop of about 40 percent.
Proving Their Worth
And the issue is more complicated still. There is a bewildering array of classifications for energy reserves and resources, with no standard methods or terminology for most types of estimates.
Of all the types of reserves, the most certain class of reserves are known as "proved reserves," which publicly traded natural gas producing companies in the United States have to estimate and report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There are strict rules about how these reserves must be estimated, since these numbers are often taken as a measure of a company's success-and so can affect their stock prices.
According to the EIA's latest data, in 2011 the U.S. had 60 tcf of proved reserves of shale gas.
(There may be room for doubt even over this figure, since the SEC is investigating whether companies overstated their proved reserves.)
On top of these "proved reserves" are a variety of other types of estimates from the EIA, the USGS, and nongovernmental groups, which include "inferred reserves" and "unproved reserves," as well as "undeveloped discovered resources" and "undiscovered resources."
"We've gotten a lot of questions in the past about these different estimates," said energy analyst John Staub of the EIA.
"We're trying to make it more intuitive," using a simpler system, he added. Instead of using a variety of different estimates, "we've switched this year to just talking about proved reserves and 'unproved' being everything else."
In addition to the changes in the Marcellus estimate, to estimate the "unproved reserves" for four of the other major shale gas regions—the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Fayetteville, and Woodford formations—the EIA used estimates published last year by the USGS, which led to some drops compared to the EIA's 2011 estimate.
For these four areas, the EIA used the USGS estimates straight off the shelf, Staub said. Although the two government bodies use different language, the EIA's "unproved reserves" are "essentially the same as the 'undiscovered resources' that the USGS talks about," he said.
With the new assessments from the USGS, the EIA estimates that, outside of the Marcellus, the "unproved reserves" are lower than it estimated in 2011, dropping from 417 to 341 tcf.
Adding up all the proved and unproved reserves around the country, the EIA now estimates there is 542 tcf of shale gas available—roughly half what it estimated in 2011.
The Early Stages
However, geologist Terry Engelder of Pennsylvania State University argued that the recent EIA estimate is too conservative, given the data on which the agency based its conclusions.
Engelder is often given credit for spurring the shale gas rush in the Marcellus with early estimates that the formation held large amounts of natural gas. In his most recent published estimate, from 2009, he figured the Marcellus could in the long run yield 489 tcf, a number in the same ballpark as the EIA's 2011 estimate.
More recently, he has obtained production data from leaseholders for a small number of wells, to see how much they produce, and to update his estimate.
Engelder's earlier estimate was based on very limited data available at the time. "That's a pretty challenging thing to do," he said, "to take just 50 wells and try to project what a field might do that might ultimately end up having 100,000 to 300,000 wells."
With new data on production from 16 Pennsylvania counties, Engelder has updated his estimate. Though he has yet to publish the results, "half the counties are doing better than predicted, and half of them are not doing quite as well as predicted," he said. "But on average, it is just right where we were with that 2009 estimate."
Engelder said the geological analysis by the USGS—which was a crucial input for the EIA's reassessment of the potential for Marcellus shale gas—is problematic.
A key problem, Engelder said, was that the USGS assessment broke up the Marcellus into thousands of parcels, and then assumed that only 37 percent of them would yield significant natural gas. Engelder thinks that a lot more of the parcels will be productive.
Sorting out this disagreement may have to wait until more data comes in.
The Marcellus "is a very large geographic area," said Staub of the EIA; for the 2012 estimate, the agency had access to production data from about 3,000 wells.
With longer histories from individual wells, their potential over the long term should become clearer. "Three thousand wells is not that many," Staub added. "We're still in the early stages of development."

BIRDWATCHING — While the new commander at Fairchild Air Force Base is looking into options for bringing back the big Air Show, area birdwatchers are finding their own aerial displays of high-speed flying.
You simply have to know where to look.
Check out this Tuesday report from local birder Jon Isacoff:
Quick run to Sprague sewage lagoons today. A pleasant surprise was a PEREGRINE FALCON that bombed shorebirds and waterfowl several times, losing a chase with with a Wilson's Phalarope. Shorebird species present:
Spotted Sandpiper
Greater YL
Lesser YL
Baird's Sandpiper
Long-billed Dowitcher
WIlson's Phalarope
FISHING — Todd Young of Spokane used PowerBait to catch this 27-inch rainbow weighing 6.8 pounds at Sprague Lake on Saturday.
Had Young caught the fish one week earlier, he would have easily won $500 in prizes offered for the biggest fish in the Sprague Lake Trout Derby, reports Scott Haugen at Four Seasons Campground and Resort.
The 202 anglers entered in the derby weighed in a bunch of fish in the 4-pound range, and the three top fish were separated by only 1 ounce, with the winner coming in at 4 pounds 9 ounces
FISHING — A mere ounce separated the top three rainbows caught Saturday in the first Sprague Lake Trout Derby.
Despite a nasty day of wind and rain, 202 anglers participated. Many anglers went home with fish, but the one with the largest trout also bagged prizes and gift cards totaling $500.
While KHQ TV weatherman Dave Law didn't win, he should at least get a prize for knowing how to present a 4-pound 5-ounce rainbow to the camera (above).
Meanwhile, the winners are pictured at left:
"We weighed in a lot of fish in the 4-pound range," said Dave Broxson, derby organizer with the Sprague Lake User Group.
The wind was so bad on the 1,840-acre lake, the Sheriff's marine patrol pulled off the water at noon because they couldn't make any contacts with boaters on the lake, said Scott Haugen at Four Season's Campground Resort.
"But people just kept fishing," he said, noting that he snapped Law's photo as the weatherman tied up his boat briefly at the resort docks as he fished up the lake. "Most of the rainbows were in the 3- to 4-pound range. I weighed in one over 5 pounds before the derby. I also had a fisherman who caught a largemouth bass over 17 inches long."
"We had a wonderful turnout and hope it can get better next year," Broxson said.
FISHING — A prize totaling $500 awaits the angler who catches the biggest trout Saturday (June 9) during the first Sprague Lake Trout Derby.
Fishermen have boated some huge rainbows out of the 1,840-acre lake since it was rehabilitated in 2007. The derby gives them a chance to cash in on their luck.
It's scheduled for Washington's Free Fishing Weekend, so NO FISHING LICENSE IS REQUIRED.
And don't forget to fuel up at the Fishermen's Breakfast by the Sprague Volunteer Fire Department (details below).
Bonus: Nine rainbows were tagged and released in Sprague Lake in March as part of Cabela's "Wanna Catch a Million" fishing contest. Most of the bass state biologists caught while electroshocking to caputre the fish for tagging were in the no-kill slot size. So they chose to put all the tags allotted for Sprague Lake into rainbows.
All Sprague Lake Trout Derby participants will be eligible for prize drawings, and kids especially will have a chance to win fishing rods, said Dave Broxson, co-organizer.
The angler weighing in the second largest fish caught between 6 a.m. and the 6 p.m. weigh-in will win $100 in gift cards and merchandise provided by Cabela's and Wholesale Sports.
Third place gets goodies totaling $50.
Tickets will be available the day of the derby at the two resorts on the lake:
The Main Derby Station and weigh-in site will be situated just outside Sprague Lake Resort.
Both resorts offer camping, boat rentals, boat launching, docks and tackle.
To participate, anglers must purchase a derby ticket, $7 for adults, $5 for youths 16 and under.
Read on for more details about the derby and the Fishermen's Breakfast.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2003
Comments, questions and tips
Just made this using my new electric wok, i mixed up the veg a bit and put some peppers and green beans in as well as the brocolli. When making next time I would put more lemon zest in, but thats because i like lemon, but really nice. Will definately make this again! Will also add some salt n pepper.
A good recipe but could do with some refinement; my recommendations would be to use half the amount of stock and to prepare the sauce using the stock on the side while the meat and veg are stir fried. This can then simply be combined when ready to prevent the veg losing their bite while cooking âinâ the stock. Nice, quick, easy and tasty so worth trying!
Loved it!
So chuffed with myself with tonight's dinner! It was absolutely delicious - even better than a take-away.
I fried the chicken in some garlic, fresh chilli and ginger then lifted it out with a slotted spoon before frying the veg. I added mushrooms, peppers, spring onions and a splash of soy sauce to the recipe. I didn't add the rind but squeezed the juice of a full lemon.
Just the right amount of stock if you're adding exta veg.
Sure you won't be disappointed with this.
I took the cue from the others who said it was too soggy, made a few changes and it came out great. Skipped the stock and corn starch bit to avoid the gooey mess, cooked the rice with a stock cube for the extra flavour, mixed the honey with half the recommended lemon juice and added that towards the end with some chilli flakes. It was really flavoursome and fresh. Boyfriend said it was in his favourite top 5. (Gave it four stars to reflect the necessary changes.)

Construction near gas pipeline has neighbors fearing the worst
The Record
However, a report by the Pipelines and Informed Planning Alliance, a group sponsored by the government that brings together groups in the industry, determined if an explosion occurred on a similar high-pressure pipeline, the damage to anything within 351 feet would be considerable.
Rick McGrath, North Bergen's municipal engineer, said reality dictates that developments in urban areas be built closer to pipelines than 300 feet.
"Take a look at the entire Hudson County coast," he said. "Short of Palisades Park, I doubt there's any place where today you have 300 or 400 feet."

PIKESVILLE, Md. (AP) - The Maryland State Police say troopers stopped more than 8,900 vehicles during the Thanksgiving weekend.
Police announced Monday that 96 motorists were arrested for driving under the influence. Fifty-six people also were arrested for drug violations. Police say there were 133 people arrested for various other criminal violations. Troopers also recovered three guns during traffic stops.
All 22 state police barracks took part in focusing on impaired or distracted drivers. They also were on the lookout for aggressive drivers and speeders, as well as people who were not wearing seatbelts.
Police say additional initiatives will continue through the holiday season.

Divine Mercy: The Happy Priest Reflects on the Wounds of Jesus and Our Wounds
The wounds of Jesus bring healing and joining our wounds to His transforms our lives
The Apostles and the disciples see him, hear him and eat with him. Thomas is told to touch his wounds. The stone rolled away from the entrance and the carefully folded burial cloths direct our gaze to the physical. He has truly risen.
The disbelief and uncertainty evidenced by those who saw him testify to an apparent strangeness in the appearance of the newly risen Christ. Slowly they came to recognize him, but they still struggled with doubt. We are accustomed to an annual celebration of Easter.
However, for the first disciples of Jesus, resurrection was totally new. Let us remember, that the son of the widow of Nain, Jairus' daughter and Lazarus were all brought back to life by Jesus, but not one of them continued their lives with a glorified body.
Although the risen Jesus is the same Jesus that died on Calvary, his physical reality is now different than before. The body of the risen Lord is indeed his physical body, but he now moves about with a glorified body. Each of us will have a glorified body also at the resurrection of the dead if we persevere and are faithful.
Over and over again the gospels stress that something extraordinary has occurred. The Lord is tangible, but he has been transformed. His life is different from what it once was. His glorified body transcends the limitations of time and space. For this reason he can pass through the closed door of the Upper Room. He appears and disappears as he desires.
At times his disciples cannot recognize him precisely because their physical reality moves within time and space, and the Lord's physical reality is no longer subject to time and space, although he exists within time and space.
The empty tomb and the neatly folded burial cloths point to us that Jesus is physically alive. His crucified body has been transformed. What lesson is he teaching us by keeping his wounds intact?
We can answer this question by turning to our own wounds. Deacon Keith Fournier in his book Wounds that Heal * reflects on this theme very beautifully with a rich spirituality characteristic of his writing and preaching.
First, we all experience the large wound caused by Original Sin. Although we are baptized and Original Sin has been cleansed from our soul, our human nature has been wounded. Our sinful condition manifests itself in different ways and we struggle with those manifestations of fallen human nature.
And then there are the other wounds, the wounds that are smaller. We have wounds that are caused by sickness and the wounds that are caused by problems, adversities, challenges and the disappointments of life.
All of us are wounded. Even Jesus is wounded. By retaining the wounds of his passion, the glorified Jesus is showing us that we can find hope and strength by taking our wounds and uniting them to his wounds.
The eleven apostles of today's gospel passage were discouraged and filled with fear. They had lost all hope. They did not understand that Jesus had to first die on the cross in order to rise on Easter Sunday. They did not understand that the risen Jesus would bear his five wounds as an eternal reminder that when our wounds are united to his wounds we will find true peace.
"Peace be with you." These are the first words of the risen Jesus. He dispels the darkness of discouragement, despair and fear by showing the eleven his glorified and wounded body.
Thomas places his finger in the wounds of Jesus and he believes. "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe" (John 20: 27).
Many call Thomas the doubting Thomas. All of the Apostles doubted. All of the Apostles ran away and abandoned Jesus. In reality, he is not the doubting Thomas, but the courageous Thomas. He is the only apostle who knows where to find Jesus.
By touching the wounds of Jesus, he begins to understand that the risen Jesus is not a ghost, but that he is truly real.
By encountering Jesus in his woundedness, he is able to encounter the authentic Jesus, the real Jesus, the whole Jesus.
Because he is able to encounter the Jesus that shed his blood on the cross, he falls to the ground and pronounces a profound act of faith: "My Lord and my God." Thomas is able to encounter Jesus in all of his humanity and all of his divinity. He comes to grasp the reality that the risen Jesus is the same Jesus that died on Calvary.
But, where is the risen and wounded Jesus? Where can we encounter him? As Jesus hung on the cross, all of his blood flowed from his wounds. The eternal reminder of his wounds reminds us that we are to experience him in the Eucharist and in the Sacrament of Confession.
By coming to Jesus every day at Mass, for visits and adoration; by encountering the God of mercy through the awesome gift of the sacrament of forgiveness, we can dispel the despair, the discouragement and the fear that may fill our lives.
It is in the Eucharist that we encounter peace because we truly encounter the Lord. We need to bring our wounds to the risen and wounded Jesus every day in the Eucharist. It is there, at the tabernacle, that his wounds will heal us.
On this feast of Divine Mercy Sunday, let us remember the words that Blessed John Paul II wrote in his second encyclical letter: "Believing in the crucified Son means 'seeing the Father,' means believing that love is present in the world and that this love is more powerful than any kind of evil in which individuals, humanity, or the world are involved. Believing in this love means believing in mercy. For mercy is an indispensable dimension of love; it is as it were love's second name and, at the same time, the specific manner in which love is revealed and effected vis-a-vis the reality of the evil that is in the world, affecting and besieging man, insinuating itself even into his heart and capable of causing him to perish in Gehenna" (Dives in Misericordia).

By his stripes we are healed, even unto the belief of St. Thomas that it was the same Jesus who has risen, however there were two reasons as to why he had to go to the Father for one is to the Glory & the other is to ask of The Father to send the Holy Spirit as the helper. The word Glory again means the clouds of Heaven which is the Fire by night & Cloud by day, Christ from His preexistence as the Lord from heaven, was born as man, died & risen back to the Glory, for His coming back will be in the Same Glory, his everlasting state, for no man can stand before The Glory which is of The Father called "Shekinah" & it is to this that Archangel Gabriel says of the manner as 'I am one who stands before God" meaning before the Glory. Another state of Jesus Christ in the Glory is given in Rev. Ch. 1 where Apostle John falls before Jesus as dead, upon seeing Him..

Detroit's past has a brighter future with the grand re-opening of the Detroit Historical Museum.
A grand re-opening gala was held Saturday night at the museum, in Detroit's cultural center.
Guests toured expanded and new exhibits, ranging from an expanded presentation of Detroit's vital role in the underground railroad to the Kid Rock music gallery, celebrating generations of music linked to Detroit.
The long-time favorite exhibit of the streets of old Detroit remains and is enhanced with new items like the bright blue neon sign that stood atop the roof of old Tiger Stadium.
Many of the new exhibits are interactive.
Museum executive director Bob Bury expressed pride in the $12 million overhaul.
"This night is really the culmination of ten years of planning and fundraising and finding the best way to tell Detroit's history, linking it to the future," Bury said.
Despite the expense of the renovations, admission to the Detroit Historical Museum will be free.
The museum reopens to the public the day after Thanksgiving.
