Book Description:
`Maria Boulding's version is of a different level of excellence from practically anything else on the market. She has perfected an elegant and flowing style.' Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury The Confessions of Saint Augustine is considered the all time number one Christian classic. It is an extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer. Augustine was probably forty-three when he began this endeavor. He had been a baptized Catholic for ten years, a priest for six, and a bishop for only two. His pre-baptismal life raised questions in the community. Was his conversion genuine? The first hearers were captivated, as many millions have been over the following sixteen centuries. His experience of God speaks to us across time with little need of transpositions. This new translation masterfully captures his experience. `So old and yet so new! This contemporary translation of Augustine's Confessions was like meeting an old friend and touching perennial truth, despite the passing years. Augustine was surely larger than life--and this translation matches it.' -- Richard Rohr, o.f.m.

Adrienne Bailon Keeps Naked Companyby Mischalova at . Comments
Entertainment news circles are buzzing with the possibility that Adrienne Bailon is replacing Vanessa Hudgens in High School Musical 3.
If this is really the plan, though, we have some advice for the Cheetah Girls member: be wary of your company.
Hudgens may get sacked for simply posing nude, a loving gesture meant to spice up her sex life with Zac Efron. But check out who Bailon has been spotted with recently:
Yes, that's porn star Jenna Jameson by Bailon's side. Can't imagine Disney is too excited over this burgeoning friendship.
We actually like Rumer Wills, and she isn't in the same naughty class as Jameson. But Bruce and Demi's daughter is known for her partying ways, so Adrienne may wanna be careful.
This bitch is stupid. My daughter loves her..on count of thr disney movies. I loved her too til the kardashian show. You know damn well what that bitch did to him on chloes marriage was fucked up. you are one stuck up hoe and i am sorry i ever let my child buy you dvds. NEVER AGAIN. what you did was fucked up. Making him hold you fucking purse while you did the single thing at his sis party, and smiin the whole time..your lucky i aint a kardashian sister cuz i would stomp your ass, I am sure they would too but they money ridin on it. i dont.!!!!!!!! Fuck that hoe. thats shitty!!!!!!
hi i no you dont no me but i am your biggest fan an u r sooooooooooo pretty and u hav the perfect voice an i am just ur biggest fan BBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

How to complete this finger sandwich...
- Pei May 20, 2009 02:40 PM
Hi Hounds,
I'm constructing a finger sandwich for a little get together, and I've hit a wall.
My idea is to use soft whole wheat bread, a thin layer of cream cheese, and a tapenade of roasted red bell peppers and walnuts.
But something tells me salt, pepper, and olive oil won't be enough to give the sandwich the kind of "oomph" that's going to make people ask me what my secret is.
What do you think? A little balsamic vinegar? Chopped olives (what kind?)? An herb?
FWIW, the other things being served might be mini lemon cupcakes with swiss meringue frosting, and cardamom shortbread cookies. I thought something savory with an interesting texture and flavor would balance things out.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Oh, I like the way you think, Sam (as usual). Do you have a favorite brand? Anchovies are not something I usually use and I don't want to go astray.
re: laliz
Yes, I know lots of people who love anchovy flavor (without knowing what it is), but odn't like the texture of the actual fish. So I often "melt" the anchovies in some olive oil while I am cooking. You could whiz it into the cream cheese? I find most brands pretty good so long as the oil it is packed in isn't gross. But you can always rinse them off and pat them dry first.
re: Emmmily
Gets my vote ... with just a misting of lemon juice/butter mix.
re: smtucker
I was going to say arugula as well. I also like the idea of kalamata olives, but they will overpower the peppers.
re: smtucker
Third arugula. Or maybe watercress. Something that gives both the flavor and the texture a little bite.
re: smtucker
Arugula was my first thougt. If you don't want leaves on the sandwhich you could make a simple light arugula pesto to use.
I would think arugula even watercress, to me that would compliment the cream cheese and the red peppers which is a very light sandwich
I don't like the whole wheat bread. There are some thin party breads which aren't bad and a bit different and many good fresh baked breads that would work well. There are some fairly good hearty wheat breads that are heavier and a bit more substantial that will work well. Not sure what you are using, but most wheat breads I wouldn't enjoy with that combo. Sorry, but I love the combo so far it sounds great.
Capers too would be good.
Both ideas given below, The salad is #1 to me.

While I have shown only the preferred forms of the invention, it should be understood that various changes or modifications may be made within the scope of the claims hereto attached without departing from the spirit of the invention- The door 1 is formed with a recess 2 of rectangular cross section in the front face thereof, the recess extending into the door to a. depth suflicient to accommodate the door lock to be described hereinafter, and is rounded in the rear wall as shown at 3. A transverse hole 4, extending through the door so as to traverse the rear end of the recess, is adapted to accommodate the operating members for the look.
A lock housing 6, consisting of a body section 7, illustrated in detail in Figures 18 and 19, a cover plate 8 illustrated m Figure 20, and an extension piece 9, is adapted to be secured to the face plate 11 by means of interlocking lugs 12 and 13, and is accommodated wlthin the recess 2, the housing being introduced through the end face of the door, and being held 1n place by means of screws 14 extendin through the face plate into the door. 'fhe extension piece 9 is telescoped on the body portion of the housing, and fastened thereto by means of screws 16, a plurality of perforations 17 being provided in the extension piece so as to allow the same to be fastened in any one of several positions, whereby the over-all length of the housing may be adjusted to suit conditions.
The cover plate 8 of the lock housing is secured to the body section 7 by being slipped under a tongue 18 with the recessed end 19 thereof, and by being screwed as shown at 21 to a channel 22 rising centrally from the inside of the section 7. Two guide blocks 23 are secured in the body section 7 of the housing near the edges thereof, in parallel relation to the outer faces of the channel 22.
The latch accommodated in this housing comprises a latch bolt 24 and a casing consisting of the two sections 26 and 27, 11- lustrated in detail in Figures 9 and 10. The section 26 is of larger cross section than the section 27, and is formed with inwardly projecting flanges 28 adapted to ride on the section 27, the sections bein held against disengagement by outwar ly projecting flanges 29 of the section 27. The bolt 24 is formed with a series of sets of registering grooves 31, and is adapted for introduction into the section 27 through a perforation 32 in the front wall 33 thereof, the bolt being held in place by a transverse clip 34 formed to engage opposing grooves of the bolt and held against endwise motion in the section 27 by the front wall 33 thereof, and by small indentations 36 in the top and bottom of the section 27 back of the clip 34. It Will be seen that in this manner the over-all length of the latch may be adjusted to correspond to the over-all length of the lock housing.
The section 27 of the latch is guided by the outer face of the channel 22 and the section 27 is guided by the inner face of the blocks 23.
A partition 37 is anchored in the cover plate 8 which for this purpose is formed with a slot 38 and extends transversely through the housing to form an abutment for a spring 39 hearing, through the clip 34,
on the front wall 33 of the section 27 so as.
to urge the bolt 24 into advanced position. A second spring 41 seated against the rear wall of the housing bears on the rear wall 42 of the section 26 and urges the same forward so that normally under the influence of the two springs 39 and 41 the latch bolt is forced into locking position as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 while the bolt may be retracted through actuation of the section 26 or may withdraw from locking position under the impact of the closing door in the usual manner without affecting the section 26. j
The latch may be operated in the form shown in Figures 1 and 2 by either of the knobs 43 and 44, the former being on the inside of the door, and the latteron the outside. The knobs may be of usual construction, including a shank, and from the shank extends inwardly a tubular member 46 terminating in prongs 47 adapted for introduction into registering perforations of a disk 48 presenting an all-around flange 49 revolvably mounted in an aperture 51 in the lock housing. The extreme margin of the flange 49 is turned over as shown at 52 to prevent the flange 49 from being Withdrawn from the housing. The latter flange is formed with projecting lugs 53 bearing against the rear wall of the latch section 26 in such a manner that on revolving motion of the door knob in either direction one of the lugs 53 will retract the section 26.
A sleeve 54 is slidably mounted on the shank of each knob so as to telescope on the flange 49 when slid inwardly, and this sleeve has secured to the inner end thereof a locking member 56 illustrated in detail in Figure 8, the locking member extending through a slot 59 in the housing section 7 so as to be guided between the partition 37 and prongs 61 extending inwardly from the walls of the channel 22. The member 56 is formed with a laterally projecting tooth 62 adapted for engagement with a registering recess 63 in the turned-over portion of the flange 49 on the opposing side, whereby the latter flange is prevented from turning and from operating the latch. The member 56 and the partition 37 which are arranged in adjacent relation are kinked as shown in Figure 1 to offer yielding resistance to movement in either direction of the member 56.
When the knob 44 on the outside of the door is held against rotary motion the door lock ma be opened from the outside by means of the key 64 entering through a slot 66 in the door knob into a recess 67 in a shaft 68 revolvable relative to the door knob and terminating interiorly in a disc 69 carrying a lug 71 hearing on the rear wall 42 of the latch section 26 for operating the latter when the key is turned, the movement of li l the lug 71 being concentric to that of the 1 lug 53 operated by the door knob.
The knobs or the sleeves slidable thereon find bearing surfaces in the holding plates adapted to be seated in the opening 4' on opposite sides of the door in such a manner that flanges 73 rest on the door faces While the plates are clamped upon the door surfaces by means of bolts passing through apertures 74 'in the holding plates. The latter plates are perforated interiorly as shown at Z'6 to receive the sleeves 54 and are formed with annular flanges 77 forming a bearing surface for the sleeves.v
The flange 73 of each holding plate has opposing sections cut away as shown at 78 4 and has sections 79 adjacentthe cut away sections bent out of the plane of the flange to form tongues adapted for interlocking engagement with lugs 81 extending inwardly from the rim 82 of a face plate 83.
The device thus far described operates as follows: When the door is closed the front edge of the latch bolt, which is tapered as shown at 84. strikes a metal plate 86 fastened relative to the door jamb and retracts under the force of the impact, compressing the spring 39 and forcing the section 27 inward- 1y. When the point of the bolt passes the obstruction it projects again underthe influence of the spring 39 to come to rest in the recess 87 in the door jamb. To open the door from the inside it is only necessary to turn the knob 43 which causes one of the lugs 53 to bea-r on the rear edge of the section 26, for retracting the latter. This latter motion is communicated through the section 27 to the latch bolt. In the same manner may the latch bolt be operated by the other knob 44 under normal conditions, but if the operator pushes the sleeve 54 associated with the inside knob 43 inwardly so that the member 56 enters into the recess 63 in the turned-over portion of the flange 49. the latter, and thereby the knob 44, is held against rotation so that now the latch may not be operated by manipulation of the outside knob 44. In this latter ,case the latch may be manipulated from the outside by means of a key 64 which revolves the shaft 68 and with it the lug 71, with the same effect as if the knob itself had been rotated. It will thus be seen that inward movement of the sleeve 54 prevents use of the outside knob.
"Where the lock is to be used for a bathroom door or a similar situation where the occupant of the room does not wish the same to be accessible to anyone, even by use of a key. I preferably use the form illustrated in Figure 6. In this form no means is provided for opening the door from the outside when the occupant on the inside has pushed the sleeve 54 inwardly; and'in this case the danger of aperson locking. himself out has to be provided for, since if the occupant should push the sleeve 54 inwardly, and thereupon open the door to leave the bathroom, and close the same behind him, there would be no way of opening the door from the outside. For this reason I supply automatic means for unlocking the outside operating element whenever the inside oper ating element is manipulated for the purpose of opening the door. This means comprises a shortlever 88 pivoted in the housing as shown at 89 and engaging with one arm thereof a pin 91 rising from the member 56. The other arm of the lever has a pin 92 extending therefrom, adapted to ride in a slot 93 in the latch section 27, the wall of the slot tapering as shown at 94 to provide an acute angle 96. It will be noted, referring to Figure 6, that when the sleeve 54 is pushed inwardly and the element 56 engaged with the latch operating element on the opposite side, for locking the same, the lever 88 is swung on its pivot so that the pin 92 moves into the corner of the slot forming the acute angle 96. The lock is now secured against opening from the outside. But when the occupant of the room turns the inside knob and thereby retracts the section 27 of the latch, the pin 92 rides along the slanting edge 94 of the slot 93 and thereby moves the locking member 56 back to its non-locking position. It thus appears that whenever the occupant opens the door from the inside the lockifig means for the outside knob is rendered inoperative so that there is no possibility of the occupant locking himself out when leaving thebathroom. In the form shown in Figures 4 and 5, which is principally intended for the front door of a house or for an ofiice door leading to the hallway, a thumb latch 97 is pivoted to the door plate as shown at 98 and operates a vertical member 99 illustrated in detail in Figure 17, presenting at its upper end two branches 101 formed with slots 102 adapted to receive a pin 103 extending from the face of a disc 104 which is secured to a second disc 105, corresponding in its function to the disc 48 previously described with reference to the form shown in Figures 1 and 2. Lifting of the member 99 by means of the thumb latch 97 causes the disc 104 to re- \olve for operation of the latch element 26 in the manner previously described. A key operated shaft 106 may also be used to operate the latch section 26 in the manner previously described.
-Above the latch there is provided, in the form shown in Figures 4 and 5, a night bolt 107 shown in detail in Figure 21, the night bolt being made extensible by the provision of two sections joined by a screw 108 provided for the same. The bolt slides between the latch section 28 and the guide 23 which is suitably grooved as shown at 109. When the night bolt is retracted to be flush with the front face of the door, the rear end of its front section bears against the front edge of the latch section 28 while a rear lug 111, extending downwardly from the rear end of the night bolt, is spaced from the rear edge of the section 28 when the latter is in its advance position. The sleeve 112, used in connection with the inside knob in this particular form, distinguishes from the sleeve 54: previously described by presenting a projection 113 (see Figure 7* and Figure 4) disposed to engage with the rear face of the lug 111 of the night bolt, so that when the sleeve is turned in the proper direction the night bolt is advanced. To allow of the turning of the sleeve without interfering with the operation of the locking member 56, the latter is slidably held in a slot 114 of the sleeve.
The operation of the form shown in Figures 4; and 5 is as follows: Normally, when the thumb latch 97 is depressed the element 99 is raised and causes the disc 10-1 to revolve and to operate the latch in the fashion previously described. If the operator from the inside decides to lock the door he pushes the sleeve 112 forward for engaging the locking member 56 with the member 105 so as to prevent revolving motion of the latter member and operation of the locks from the outside, except by use of a key. The operator may at the same time turn the sleeve 112, which through the advancing operation has moved into operative relation relative to the night bolt, so that turning motion will lock the latter bolt. \Vhen the operator turns the inside knob for the pur pose of opening the door. the rearward motion of the section 28 causes the night bolt to be retracted into inactive position, and the operator may release the locking means for the outside knob or thumb latch by pulling the sleeve 112 outwardly.
A simplified form is shown in Figure 7. in which a simple button is substituted for the knob and operates the section 26 over the latch in substantially the same manner as previously described with reference to the other door knobs.
In the form shown in Figure 22 each knob is provided means for rendering the other knob inoperative. a combination desired for intercomnuinicating doors between ofiices or the like, in which the occupant of each room wishes to be able to lock the door against the occupant of the adjoining room. In this form two locking members 116 are provided, one fixed relative to each sleeve 54 and the two working substantially within the space used by the sole locking member 56. The mode of operation of either locking member does not differ from that previously described relative to the. locking member 56.
I claim:
1. In a door lock of the character described, a latch comprising a latch bolt, a casing extending rearwardly therefrom, a second casing extending rearwardly from the first casing and slidable relative thereto, resilient means urging the second casing forwardly and resilient means anchored in the second casing urging the first casing forwardly.

Throughout the West, Christians, Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic, are now enrolled in a school of ecumenism as we make common cause to end the killing of our youngest neighbors. We have been thrown together in a common defense of life in a western culture which has lost its moral compass. Our Marching together for Life is becoming a road to our unity and a sign of our growing communion.

Keywords: Pro-Life, 40 years, Roe v Wade, Doe v Bolton, March, March for Life, Pope Benedict XVI, Blessed john Paul II, Ut Unum Sint, unity, week of Christian unity, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (Catholic Online) - After his Wednesday catechesis Pope Benedict XVI noted that Friday, the 18th of January begins the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. This year, the theme of the week is "What does God require of us?" inspired by a passage from the prophet Micah.
The Pope invited all "to pray, asking insistently of God, for the great gift of unity between all of the Lord's disciples. May the Holy Spirit's limitless strength arouse us to the sincere commitment to seek unity, so that we might all profess together that Jesus is the savior of the world."
On January 25, 2013, hundreds of thousands will gather in Washington, D.C. to give their voice to our neighbors in the first home of the whole human race. These are the children who await their welcome among us upon birth. These littlest neighbors need our voice because theirs is being muffled behind the wall of their mother's womb, once considered the first refuge of safety.
There, in their first experience of the interdependency which reveals the truth about our humanity, where they are supposed to be embraced by the warmth of love, they are vulnerable to the worst kind of domestic violence. At any moment the weapons of the first pre-emptive war, voluntary abortion, may be wielded against them for any reason.
Make no mistake; these are weapons of death and destruction - chemical, surgical or suction - being used to kill these children deliberately for any or no reason. The cold, hard truth about every procured abortion is that it takes an innocent human life.
No one with integrity any longer argues that the little girl or little boy killed through procured abortion is not a human being. When the abortion occurs through miscarriage we properly enter into the mourning of the mother over the loss of the one we call "her baby". However, when the mother is deceived into a voluntary abortion, we use a different vocabulary.
Most people now acknowledge that these children killed by abortion are human persons. A few hold on to the dangerous notion that dependency upon others makes someone less of a person. However, medical science has confirmed what our consciences and the Natural Law told us all along, these victims of the first preemptive war called intentional abortion are human beings just like us.
We frame "baby's first pictures" in their 3D or 4D image through sonogram technology. We use intrauterine surgery to intervene to save them or correct anything which they may need before they are born. We prosecute an offender who, in the evil act of harming their mother, causes their death as well. It is all so very clear what we are really doing in every procured abortion.
The argument now used in a futile attempt to somehow justify this preemptive war on little girls and boys is that the choice to kill them should be left to the mother in consultation with her own Doctor and/or other counselors. This profane argument is couched in a language of freedom and clothed with a counterfeit compassion. What other group of human persons can be killed because someone else determines they do not want them to live?
There is no moral difference between the killing of a child after birth and the killing of a child before birth.
We now legally excuse fetal homicide when it is committed by a misguided mother through the agency of a deceived or corrupted Doctor who once pledged to "do no harm" in his or her professional oath. We now routinely refer to this intentional taking of innocent human life as healthcare. We try to claim that the decision to take their life is somehow a "reproductive" choice.
Procured abortion is not health care, it is an execution. And, there is absolutely NOTHING reproductive about taking the life of that little boy or girl.
There is a horrid irony in the fact that this 40th Anniversary March for Life will take place only days after President Barack Obama is sworn in for his second term. He will take the oath of office placing his hand on two bibles, one owned by Abraham Lincoln, the other owned by Martin Luther King Jr.
Both of those American heroes stood against the evil idea that some human persons are less worthy of being welcomed within our National family than others. With President Obama's election, our Nation celebrated a great advance against another intrinsic evil, racism, and the horrid memory of its once institutionalized expression, slavery.
Yet, sadly, President Obama has been blinded by the culture of death. He is advancing another form of slavery with his refusal to defend the Right to life of our youngest neighbors in the womb.The Right to life Movement is a solidarity movement. These little children our brothers and sisters and we are indeed their keepers.
Evil ideas have a horrid way of repackaging themselves. This President is the most anti-Life President in our modern history. He regularly claims to hear the cry of the poor, yet he fails to hear the cries of those whom Blessed Teresa of Calcutta properly called the "poorest of the poor", our first neighbors in the womb.
It is noteworthy that in the 40 years since the evil Supreme Court decisions in Roe and Doe were issued some unexpected good has come to Christians involved in this great human rights struggle. In our insistence that the positive law recognize what the Natural Law demands, that these children have a right to life, Christians separated from one another by divisions in the Body of Christ have now found one another. I have long referred to this fact as the silver lining in the dark cloud of the culture of death.
That is why I believe it is no accident that the March for Life always falls within the National Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Our human rights struggle has been the most fruitful and authentic form of ecumenism the world has ever witnessed; what I call trench ecumenism. We found one another in our common concern for the poorest of the poor.
The Prayer of Jesus echoes in a new missionary age: "I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me." (John 17:20-23)
There is a reciprocal relationship revealed in those words of the Savior. The world will believe our gospel when we demonstrate our own unity of love with one another. The prayer of the Son of God will be answered; the only question is how soon it will happen. We hasten that day when we choose to pray together and work with one another in this great human rights struggle.
That is the message that the great apostle Paul proclaimed to the Ephesians: "Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace; one Body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all, and in all." Ephesians 4: 1-6
Paul was the apostle of unity between the early Jewish and Gentile believers who were deeply divided. He knew the corrosive effect of divisions within the Body of Christ. We will march on the day when the Catholic Church, in her liturgy, commemorates his conversion to Jesus Christ.
The God who is One, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, places the impulse toward Christian unity in our hearts. In his Encyclical letter on Christian unity (May They Be One, 1995), Blessed John Paul II underscored the language of communion as the preferred vocabulary between Christians not yet one:
"It happens for example that, in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount, Christians of one confession no longer consider other Christians as enemies or strangers but see them as brothers and sisters. Again, the very expression 'separated brethren' tends to be replaced today by expressions which more readily evoke the deep communion linked to the baptismal character which the Spirit fosters in spite of historical and canonical divisions. Today we speak of "other Christians", "others who have received Baptism", and "Christians of other Communities"(Par. 42)
The authentic ecumenical mission was at the heart of John Paul's pontificate and is at the heart of Pope Benedict's. I remember that day, April 20, 2005, when the newly elected Pope Benedict XVI gave his first message at the end of a Mass he had concelebrated with the members of the College of Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel. He signaled his mission with these words:
"Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel encouraged to strive for the full unity for which Christ expressed so ardent a hope in the Upper Room. The Successor of Peter knows that he must make himself especially responsible for his Divine Master's supreme aspiration. Indeed, he is entrusted with the task of strengthening his brethren (cf. Luke 22: 32).
"With full awareness, therefore, at the beginning of his ministry in the Church of Rome which Peter bathed in his blood, Peter's current Successor takes on as his primary task the duty to work tirelessly to rebuild the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, his impelling duty."
The authentic ecumenical mission of restoring the full and visible unity of the Church has been the beating heart of Pope Benedict's years of service in the Chair of St Peter. That is because it reflects Heart of the Lord. To be a faithful Christian should mean to long for our full communion. Blessed John Paul called all of the faithful to carry forward the task of ecumenism with a practical and spiritual urgency in that letter on Christian Unity:
"Relations between Christians are not aimed merely at mutual knowledge, common prayer and dialogue. They presuppose and from now on call for every possible form of practical cooperation at all levels: pastoral, cultural and social, as well as that of witnessing to the Gospel message. Cooperation among all Christians vividly expresses that bond which already unites them, and it sets in clearer relief the features of Christ the Servant."
"This cooperation based on our common faith is not only filled with fraternal communion, but is a manifestation of Christ himself. Moreover, ecumenical cooperation is a true school of ecumenism, a dynamic road to unity. Unity of action leads to the full unity of faith."
"Through such cooperation, all believers in Christ are able to learn easily how they can understand each other better and esteem each other more, and how the road to the unity of Christians may be made smooth. In the eyes of the world, cooperation among Christians becomes a form of common Christian witness and a means of evangelization which benefits all involved."
Throughout the West, Christians, Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic, are now enrolled in a school of ecumenism as we make common cause to end the killing of our youngest neighbors. We have been thrown together in a common defense of life in a western culture which has lost its moral compass. Our Marching together for Life is becoming a road to our unity and a sign of our growing communion.
Come, let us lock arms together again and offer our voice for those who have none. Marching to Restore the Right to Life to Our Youngest Neighbors during the Week of Christian Unity is Prophetic. The Killing will end. The divisions among Christians will be healed.

Alcatraz Powered by Microgrid
Alcatraz Island off San Francisco is being powered by a commercial scale microgrid system, reducing much of the diesel fuel costs required to power systems on the National Park Service property.
The microgrid system is comprised of a 350 kW PV array, Princeton Power Systems inverters, a Princeton Power Systems site controller, two diesel generators, and a lead-acid battery rack.
The total island load varies typically between 50 and 80 kW. The PV array produces a peak power each day of roughly 175 kW. The batteries absorb all of the excess PV when PV exceeds the load requirement, and they deliver whatever load the PV does not cover at all other times.
While the majority of the island's power is produced by solar, batteries provide help when the sun is not present, as does the generator when both solar and battery storage are not available. The generator is automatically turned on and run at maximum efficiency to recharge the battery bank, then turns off for 3-4 days at a time.

The Ruins of the Culture Wars
Jeff Chang
Nov 10
"How has the national culture changed over the past half-century that we could elect a black president? Just as important," writes Jeff Chang in his new book Who We Be: The Colorization of America, "how has it not changed?" Chronicling the rise and fall of multiculturalism through the lens of visual culture, Chang looks at political and aesthetic struggles for racial equity, inside the art world and out.
La Cultura de la Basura
Ana Tijoux
Oct 2
"Where are the videos showing a woman in her role as sister—or protector, or economic head of family, or devoted daughter, or grandmother dignified in her old age?" In her Artist Op-Ed, Chilean hip-hop MC and activist Ana Tijoux looks at la violencia del cuerpo en la musica: the objectification of female pop stars, which she likens to "visual punches: it's about snatching away the very beauty of women."
Rethinking Collections Publishing for the Digital Age
Paul Schmelzer
Jul 2
For many in the museum world, the term scholarly collections catalogue can conjure daunting impressions: a book about a museum's holdings, it involves years of collecting, researching, photographing, and writing, plus a huge printing budget, all to create a tome that is likely out of date the moment it hits the shelf. Enter The Living Collections Catalogue, the Walker's new serial online publication.
On Sisyphus
Paul Schmelzer
Dec 2013
"We have so little in common but we have deep love for each other," says Sufjan Stevens of collaborators Son Lux and Serengeti. "And we're pushing that stone together." Formerly S/S/S, the trio Sisyphus is set to release a new self-titled LP. Commissioned by the Walker and SPCO's Liquid Music, it takes inspiration—and its name—from the art of Jim Hodges, whose shining boulders are on the Walker hillside.
The Unseen
Sean Donovan
Nov 2013
We're surrounded by invisible forces, from neutrinos and radio waves passing through our bodies to gravitational and emotional forces pulling on us. In conversation with writer Sean Donovan, Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara of Los Angeles–based experimental art/music duo Lucky Dragons discuss the realms of the unseen and ways that science and mystery interact in their immersive art investigations.
Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart on Art, Top Gun, and Danh Vo
John Valko
Oct 2013
Although they've never met, Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart says he feels "very bonded" to the father of artist Danh Vo—so much so that he's agreed to publicly sing a hit song from the film Top Gun in his honor. In conjunction with the opening of 9 Artists, Stewart will perform at the dedication of Tombstone for Phùng Vo (2010), a grave marker Vo created for his still-living father.
Visualizing American Power
Paul Schmelzer
Oct 2013
Examining US energy production and use for five years, photographer Mitch Epstein became fascinated by a pun: "electrical power came from political power, which came from corporate power—and civic power met up against all that." Here Epstein talks with Paul Shambroom, whose own photos examine issues from nuclear weapons to oil, about aesthetics, activism, and the work of connecting the dots of American power.
Buckminster Fuller: A Design Science Evangelist in Minnesota
Mason Riddle
Oct 2013
Earning a standing ovation from a crowd of 5,000, Buckminster Fuller spoke at the University of Minnesota one Monday in 1973 on the role of design scientists in civic problem solving. But the 90-minute talk wasn't the revolutionary thinker's first trip here. As Mason Riddle learns, his many visits between 1953 and 1981 involved him in projects, exhibitions, and the inaugural Earth Day observation.
Station to Station: Doug Aitken's Polyphonic Culture Train
Paul Schmelzer
Sep 2013
"Human beings need a starting point." The motto for The Source, Doug Aitken's video series on creativity's origins, could easily be the slogan for Station to Station, the art train he's taking across the US this month. While the trip has its concrete elements—a starting point, an ending point, some really heavy train cars—he sees it as entirely open-ended: whatever happens along the way is anybody's guess.

Gionta Going "Camping"
by Paul on 09/12/06 at 06:13 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the NY Post (reg. req.),
The Devils will owe Brian Gionta one. Their record goal-scorer intends to attend training camp on his own dime. After considering sitting out camp while unsigned as a restricted free agent, the 48-goal man was in the process yesterday of obtaining insurance to cover the substantial career risk of scrimmages and exhibitions to a star without a contract.

A 15 Year Deal
by Paul on 09/12/06 at 06:07 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Newsday,
According to an NHL executive, Islanders owner Charles Wang and DiPietro are on the verge of announcing they have reached agreement on a 15-year contract worth $67.5 million. The deal is believed to be the longest in NHL history and second in the history of major North American professional sports behind the 25-year deal worth $25 million that Magic Johnson signed with the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers in 1981. DiPietro, who turns 25 a week from today, is scheduled to receive $4.5 million in each season of the contract. Although the total financial package represents a major investment by the Islanders, DiPietro's salary ranks eighth among NHL goaltenders for the coming season, leaves them $2 million under the current salary cap and should look like more of a bargain as the cap rises in the future.more from Mark Herrmann of Newsday,
Of course, we all have been told that the Islanders are being run by a committee these days, and of course, we don't believe it. The decision to give the unproven goalie one of the longest contracts in the history of pro sports is not the work of a committee. It has the fingerprints of only one man, owner Charles Wang, who likes to think big. County officials forced Wang to abandon his plan for a huge tower at the proposed Coliseum redevelopment, so he has decided to do the next-best thing. He is making a monument out of a 24-year-old goalie who has decent statistics but never has won a playoff series or an Olympic medal. The deal isn't horrible. Silly, maybe, but not horrible. It is not going to hamstring the Islanders the way Wang's misguided 10-year, $87.5-million commitment to Alexei Yashin has hurt them. They are going to pay DiPietro an average of $4.5 million a year, which probably is a lower salary than he would get if he were to become a free agent in two years.read on

New Nets Unlikely: Calls For "McSorely" Probable
by George Malik on 09/12/06 at 04:35 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Globe and Mail: Strachan's "bigger net" theory has been shelved:
"No, it wasn't a big concern at all in our meetings," Brodeur said. "People like to make a big deal about it because the bigger nets are being used [in rookie tournaments]. But it's not even close to coming up. Maybe in five years, if we see a dip in goal scoring like we did before the lockout. "But the only reason we see them being used is to test how big a difference the bigger nets make. Personally, I can't see it happening for a long time -- if it happens at all."The shootout rules are changing:
With the curvature of sticks being increased to three-quarters of an inch from half an inch, referees will no longer measure sticks before the shootout. But an opposing team can still request a measurement. If the player's curve is deemed illegal, the shooter would forfeit a chance for his team, but if the stick is legal, then the team that requested the measurement would surrender one of its shootout chances.continued

Same Type Of Day Five Years Ago

from Rich Libero at NHL.com (note- Rich Libero is NHL.com's Vice President of Editorial and Production),
Driving in on the New Jersey Turnpike this morning I couldn't help but notice that the cloudless blue skies and bright sunshine were identical to the conditions five years ago on that fateful September 11. As you head off Exit 14 toward the "Bayonne Extension" that takes you to the Holland Tunnel, the lower portion of Manhattan unfurls before you. For tourists visiting New York City for the first time, the panorama gives folks from smaller towns a hint of the sheer size and scale of Manhattan as they travel in from Newark Airport. With those two Twin Towers missing like Bobby Clarke's old gap-toothed grin, the skyline appears to still be aching from the destruction of our famous buildings. There's no doubt the pain lingers for New Yorkers, Americans and the folks here at the National Hockey League.continued

from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
One year into the new economic order of the NHL and it's the league that owes money to the NHL Players' Association, not the other way around, as was initially expected. Sources tell TSN the league did not spend 54 per cent of hockey-related revenue (HRR) in the first year of the new collective bargaining agreement and must now make up the difference to the NHLPA, as per the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement. While the final calculations have not yet been done, sources suggest the amount could be in the $35 million to $40 million range, although the precise amount will depend upon the final calculation for HRR for the first year.more

The Maven Getting Warmed Up

from Stan Fischler of MSG Network,
• The Penguins' fate -- stay in Pitt or leave? -- should be a talking point when owners meet on Thursday. Two key questions: 1. Who'll be the new owner? 2. What effect will the city's new 26-year-old mayor, Luke Ravenstahl, have on the franchise? • Al Ovechkin's rejection of Washington's captaincy on the grounds of his English "not being good enough" is amusing. Even as a rookie, The Rapid Russian was amazingly glib. He's even better now but we respect his desire to get another year or two of conversation under his belt before turning vocal leader. Maybe his decision is based on the fact that he just had his wisdom teeth taken out!more

Hasek joined many of his Wings' teammates for a pre-training camp workout. Hasek, who is back for a third stint with the Wings, said he was a little surprised at the summer's turn of events. "I was sort of shocked. But nicely shocked, very nicely shocked," Hasek said. Hasek said he is injury free now. "I don't feel any problems on or off the ice," Hasek said. "I hope it's going to stay like that the whole year."
