Sacred Music at Notre Dame: the Voice of the Text
February 27 - July 31, 2015
This exhibition highlights the variety of medieval liturgical manuscripts and fragments housed in the University of Notre Dame's Hesburgh Library which contain music. The manuscripts featured date from the eleventh through fifteenth century, and originate from various regions in France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. Some examples represent specific uses such as Carthusian monks or Dominican nuns. Other manuscripts in this exhibit were recovered from book bindings, and serve as examples of older practices which may no longer exist in complete manuscripts.
Rare Books & Special Collections
102 Hesburgh Library,
at the west end of the 1st Floor Concourse
Open to the public:
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday
The exhibit is curated by Dr. David T. Gura (RBSC Curator of Ancient and Medieval Manuscripts, Early Imprints & the History of the Book).

Natalia Goncharova's Mystical Images of War, 1914
January 31 through March 22, 2015
This exhibition presents a dramatic portfolio of fourteen lithographs by the Russian avant-garde artist Natalia Goncharova (1881–1962) from the Hesburgh Libraries Collection. Published in the fall of 1914, the lithographs represent one of the earliest and most profound artistic responses to the outbreak of the Great War. They tell an epic and "mystical" story about the eternal struggle between good and evil, destruction and redemption, in which national, traditional, religious, apocalyptic, and contemporary images are intertwined.
Scholz Family Works on Paper Gallery
Snite Museum of Art
Co-sponsored by the Hesburgh Libraries, Snite Museum of Art, and the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, and organized by Russian and East European Studies Librarian Natasha Lyandres, the presentation is part of a series of lectures, courses, performances, exhibitions, and other events commemorating the First World War.

Spotlight Exhibits
Recent Acquisitions: Quaestiones by Giles of Rome
March 2015
The subject of this Spotlight Exhibit is a late medieval manuscript acquired in October 2015, Notre Dame Frag. I. 31. It is a set of five scholastic questions attributed to Giles of Rome (1243/7-1316), Master of Theology at Paris, Prior General of the Augustinian Hermits, and Bishop of Bourges. The manuscript is unique because it exists in the form in which it was circulated, two gatherings of seven folios total; it has never been bound with another collection of manuscripts.
At least two of the questions do not appear in any modern edition. The manuscript is displayed open to fols. 4v-5r, including one of the unpublished questions on charity. Stephen Dumont, Professor of Philosophy, began studying the contents of this manuscript almost as soon as it arrived. His work will help ascertain the authorship and provide more secure dating of the text.
G. K. Chesteron Collection
Spring Semester 2015
This exhibit provides a sampling of the G. K. Chesterton collection here at Notre Dame. The bulk of the collection consists of approximately 1500 books and serials. Among the books are some rare first editions. The collection also includes manuscripts, letters, drawings, and photographs.
Much of the collection was acquired in 1965 from Notre Dame alumnus, John Bennett Shaw ('37). Over the years other items have been added to the original Shaw collection.
For information about previous spotlight exhibits, please refer to the History of Spotlight Exhibits page.
Upcoming Exhibits
Fall 2015
Early Modern Germany
Spring 2016
Centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland
Also in 2016: Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night. These celebrated plays and 15 others by Shakespeare would probably have been lost to us today without the First Folio, the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays. We have been selected as a host site for the Folger Shakespeare Library's national tour of the First Folio in 2016, so you'll have an opportunity to see this famous book up close. (Dates to be announced.)

Special Correspondent
BHUBANESWAR: A four-member team of the State Congress leaders on Friday met the Chairman of 13th Finance Commission Vijay L. Kelkar here and urged him to recommend adequate financial support to the State.
The leaders who met Dr. Kelkar and other Members of the Finance Commission include former Finance Minister of the State Ramakrushna Patnaik, former Union Minister Srikant Jena, former Finance Secretary to Orissa Government Prasanna Mishra, and senior leader Alok Jena.
The leaders also handed over a six-page memorandum to Dr. Kelkar listing their suggestions and demands for sufficient financial support for the State from the Centre in the coming years. They urged the Commission that the vertical sharing of the net proceeds of all sharable Central taxes and duties be raised to 50 per cent.
The leaders urged the Finance Commission to accord priority to developmental programmes in the districts that were badly affected by Left wing extremism.
The Congress leaders also demanded for adequate staff in the police stations in the Maoist-infested regions.
As rapid industrialisation had started affecting environment, the party demanded that a healthy balance be kept between economic development and ecology. A massive plantation programme should be undertaken across the State to cope with the situation.
Primary education and healthcare services should be given priority, the leaders suggested. About 60 per cent of the hospitals and dispensaries in the State were not having required number of doctors on paramedical staff. The situation in tribal-dominated district and the backward Kalahandi-Bolangir-Koraput (KBK) region was worse, they submitted.
The leaders also expressed concern over lack of teachers in thousands of primary schools. Although the Central government has taken initiatives for universalisation of elementary education, the education sector was experiencing a series of problems in the State, they said.
In order to successfully implement the programme of universalisation of elementary education a special grant of Rs. 1,000 crore should be sanctioned for the State, they suggested.

Patron Saint of STDs: The 600-Year-Old Severed Head of St. Vitalis of Assisi Reportedly Comes Home to Los Angeles
Rich people in L.A. collect lots of things -- rap sheets, porn stars, nannies and six-figure cars. But severed, 600-year-old heads? It appears so.
But this isn't just any head, but the reputed noggin of St. Vitalis of Assisi, the patron saint against STDs.
Someone in L.A. bought it at auction over the weekend for ...
... about $5,000.
The head was put up for auction by an Anglo-Irish family in Ireland.
Assisi was Italian hermit and monk who died in 1370. According to Irish Central he went through "years of promiscuity as a youngster" before dying and becoming the patron against diseases affecting the genitals.
So who bought it? They're not saying.
But one of the auctioneers told IrishCentral that it was indeed an "odd-ball" (ya think):
We received phone calls from all over the world about this -- from all sorts of crackpots and oddballs. We received about 100 different bids in advance.
Our guess? Charlie Sheen, of course.

NCF Nation: Jereme Brooks
A closer look at Utah-Pitt
For a closer look at this game, national blogger Andrea Adelson and Big East blogger Brian Bennett break down each team's strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths: The offense is a definite strength with eight starters returning, including quarterback Jordan Wynn. The sophomore started the final five games of last season and had a breakout performance in the Poinsettia Bowl against California, throwing for 338 yards and three touchdown passes. He is now completely comfortable in the spread system Utah runs, and has been given the ability to call audibles this season as well.
First-team All-Mountain West Conference running back Eddie Wide returns and so does Matt Asiata -- the two combined for -- 1,399 yards last season and 16 touchdowns. Watch for wide receiver Jereme Brooks to have a breakout season.
Weaknesses: Utah lost its top four tacklers from 2009 and has to replace seven starters on defense, including all three at linebacker and three in the secondary. The projected starter at rover, JJ Williams, is out with a foot injury, leaving Matt Martinez and Chaz Walker to start alongside converted quarterback Chad Manis. Tackle Koa Misi is also gone, along with his 4.5 sacks. But Utah does have depth on the defensive line, and leading sackmaster Sealver Siliga is back and expected to anchor the front.
Strengths: Start with the running game, as Dion Lewis returns after his phenomenal, 1,799-yard freshman season. When the Panthers aren't handing off to Lewis or terrific backup tailback Ray Graham, they're likely throwing the ball deep to Jon Baldwin, a 6-foot-5 athletic freak who is a potential NFL first-rounder next spring.
On defense, Pitt has two of the best defensive ends anywhere in seniors Jabaal Sheard and Greg Romeus. The Panthers don't need to blitz much because of the pressure their defensive front generates.
Weaknesses: Though strong on the edges, Pitt's offensive line is breaking in three new starters on the offensive line, including a former walk-on at center (Alex Karabin) and a thoroughly untested right guard (Greg Gaskins). That could mean less running room for Lewis and less time in the pocket for new starting quarterback Tino Sunseri. Coaches have confidence in Sunseri, but he's still playing his first important snaps in a tough road environment.
The Panthers also showed some vulnerability in pass coverage last year, and they will be lining up with two new starting cornerbacks.

Spring answers
1. Reloading at receiver: The Utes lost three of their starting four receivers from last year, but Brooks returns as the leader and the Utes got quality performances out of former quarterback DeVonte Christopher and newcomer Griffin McNabb. Coach Kyle Whittingham said he's still looking for depth at the receiver position, but he likes the direction the receivers are headed.
2. Defensive line looks deep: There was some concern about the defensive line heading into this spring, but Sealver Siliga, Dave Kruger, Neil A'asa, James Aiono, Junior Tui'one and Latu Heimuli seemed to have solidified a line that will be the strongest area of the defense this fall. The Utes also got unexpected help from defensive end Trevor Reilly, who could be a factor in the fall.
3. Replacing Robert: Brandon Burton returns at the cornerback position and Lamar Chapman, who started at the nickelback position last year, will start on the other side, replacing Robert Johnson. Conroy Black will be another asset at cornerback, as well. All three players are among the fastest on the team.
Fall questions
1. Linebackers lacking experience: The Utes lost all of their stellar linebackers from a year ago and took a big hit when Nai Fotu suffered a season-ending knee injury. J.J. Williams had a good spring and former quarterback Chad Mannis likely will be in the starting rotation. Chaz Walker and Matt Martinez got some much-needed reps with Fotu out. There's some good depth at linebacker, but the experience is lacking.
2. Safeties are still a concern: Senior Justin Taplin-Ross was the only safety on the roster with game experience. He had a good spring and was supposed to be joined by Chris Washington, who missed the 2009 season with an injury. But Washington was injured during the spring and missed the final weeks of spring practice, leaving the safety position up for grabs.
3. Still looking for a returner: Shaky Smithson should be the top returner once he's fully recovered from offseason surgery, but during the spring, players such as Brandon Burton and Griffin McNabb took a shot at returns. The Utes were in the middle of the pack in the Mountain West in both kick and punt returns and are hoping to improve on that number in 2010.

First-quarter update: Michigan 10, Utah 6
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan is winning the game, but don't read into it too much. The Wolverines generated just 35 yards in the quarter and would be trailing if not for several Utah mistakes.
Despite having an All-American kicker/punter in Louie Sakoda, Utah's special teams have been downright awful. After Michigan went three-and-out on the game's first possession, Utes return man Jereme Brooks fumbled a punt, setting up a Wolverines touchdown. Then Sakoda had a game-tying extra-point try blocked by Michigan's Terrance Taylor. A personal foul penalty on a Michigan kickoff return set up great field position and the other Wolverines' score, a 50-yard field goal by K.C. Lopata.Wolverines starting quarterback Nick Sheridan has taken advantage of Utah's miscues, but he had an interception called back on a penalty and had another one slip through the fingers of a Utes defensive back. The good news for Michigan is both freshman running backs, Sam McGuffie and Michael Shaw, look explosive. Steven Threet has yet to enter the game.
As expected, Michigan's playcalling has been fairly conservative, mostly short, safe passes. Sheridan hasn't looked good on the deep passes but seems comfortable with short routes.
Utah quarterback Brian Johnson looks like a senior, consistently finding holes in the Wolverines secondary. He hit Brooks for a 55-yard gain to set up a touchdown.

The IRS as Tax Preparers?
When conservatives and liberals advocate tax reform they are referring to radically divergent concepts. Conservatives desire a low, flat, and universal tax code, while liberals desire reform that would result in increased revenues. The obvious way to achieve that goal is to impose radical redistributive tax increases, such as the ones Obama has recently proposed. However, there is a more subtle way that is beginning | Read More »

With a name that is an amalgamation of "gang" and "aliens," this Sacramento band has often been lumped in with the summery surf/garage pop that's been popular of late. But there's more of the Chills and Echo & the Bunnymen than Best Coast in the act's freewheeling, driving guitar rock. With a sound akin to that of contemporaries like Gauntlet Hair, Woods and the Fresh & Onlys in its wall of psychedelia, Ganglians presents itself on stage, perhaps unintentionally, as a group of playful eccentrics swept up in the breezes suggested by its songwriting. The act's latest record, Still Living, just released on Lefse, and the video for "Jungle" confirm that the bandmembers do indeed have an offbeat sense of humor and are not just pretending to be weirdoes playing catchy music.

2:10 Moses. This name is Semitic (text note), though perhaps it was compatible with Egyptian Mose meaning "is born" (e.g., Thutmose, meaning "Thut is born"). There is evidence that Semitic names were not uncommon in the royal court, and it is possible that the child was given a Semitic name by the princess. He was educated in the Egyptian court as a promising young noble (Acts 7:22).

RECIPE: diabetic recipes
scottDecember 12, 2001
I found this forum while looking for sugar free recipes and think it is great. I just wanted to share a new site that I found that offers sugar free recipes listed by category. You can also submit your favorite recipes to be included. The site is at http://www.sugar-free-recipes.com
Sugar free recipes does not mean "carbohydrate free" and it is carbohydrates that diabetics must control. Flour is 100% glycemic and high carbohydrate.
All diabetics must count carbs in all ingredients then decide whether it is witin their carb count or not.

- Pitched roofs, clipped hedges, brick boxes – these are the shapes that define suburbia. Each family creates their own small world from a seemingly set palette of tiles and trims, trellis and topiary. Each plot forms part of a greater patchwork, pinned together by the use of these unquestioned motifs.
I have recorded these icons of suburban life with the reverence one might approach any object of great cultural significance. The standardised, centred framing of each subject also mimics the repetitive beat of the suburbs – something I am continuing to explore in a separate study, 'Suburban Beautiful'.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Shanghai diocese stood its ground
Bishop Ma's bravery has inspired Catholics across China
- Fr Zhong Guan
- China
- July 19, 2012
Auxiliary Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin proclaimed his allegiance to the Universal Church publicly during his Vatican-approved ordination on July 7, and the response by authorities was swift.
It was only the day before that the China Church received a fresh wound with the illicit ordination of Fr Joseph Yue Fusheng of Harbin.
With unprecedented bravery and wisdom, Shanghai diocese handled the ordination of Bishop Ma with great care, surprising all close observers of the China Church.
Episcopal ordinations in the ŌĆ£openŌĆØ or government-sanctioned Church community in the past few years have been abject failures. Strictly speaking, none were legitimate according to Canon Law and the teachings of the Church.
Ordainers of a legitimate bishop candidate were often forced to concelebrate with illicit bishops. In the last three illicit ordinations, all participating bishops were Vatican-approved ŌĆō a serious breach of Church law for which excommunication can be the penalty.
Those bishops involved often used the excuse that they were ŌĆ£pressuredŌĆØ to take part, while observers remained unsurprised by such charades.
All criticisms and exhortations were of no avail to prevent these actions, and not even the threat of automatic excommunication could stop these illicit ordinations.
Members of the China Church fell into deep despair. What else was there to be done?
The ordination of Bishop Ma answered that question, and in the process told the fearful and the weak that Catholics still have the right and fortitude to say no to political power.
The ordination of Bishop Ma was originally a source of joy to the Shanghai diocese as it prepared to welcome its new pastor.
But when a vice president of the BishopsŌĆÖ Conference of the Catholic Church in China, himself an illicitly ordained bishop, was scheduled to take part in the ceremony, joy turned to sorrow. A rat had contaminated the soup, as it were.
When the dioceseŌĆÖs protests were ignored, it adopted a series of strategies to protect the integrity of Church law and the dignity of the Catholic community.
First, 90 percent of the dioceseŌĆÖs priests opted not to attend the ordination. Second, seminarians that attended as choir members and the altar servers donned purple albs, the color representing their grief and serving as a silent mark of protest.
Then as the bishops and priests prepared to enter the cathedral, a layperson stepped boldly forward to denounce the illicit bishop, causing a stir at the end of the procession.
Inside the cathedral, the co-ordaining bishops were seated far away from the main celebrant, Bishop Aloysius Jin Luxian. Only priests sat close by the aging prelate.
At the key moment when all bishops bless the new bishop by laying hands on his head, no one wished to see any illicit bishop do so.
After Bishop Jin and two other Vatican-approved co-ordaining bishops laid their hands on him, Bishop Ma unexpectedly stood up and hugged the three remaining bishops who were approaching in a ceremonial manner, thereby avoiding their participation in the laying on of hands.
As he addressed the congregation after his ordination, Bishop Ma said he had been ordained as auxiliary bishop ŌĆō the designation given him by the Vatican ŌĆō and not coadjutor bishop, as the government had intended.
Loud applause erupted from the congregation after Bishop Ma declared that he would quit the government-sanctioned Catholic Patriotic Association, which is not recognized as an official Catholic body by the Holy See.
Those in power who have been sniggering over their ability to force unwilling bishops to yield to their commands were now confronted with the unyielding voice of the China Church.
It has been several months now since Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Xing Wenzhi of Shanghai mysteriously disappeared from view. Bishop Ma refused to move into his room, saying that he continues to wait for his return.
Perhaps after years of successful oppression, government authorities began to believe there was no battle they could not win and that no one would dare to oppose them openly.
Bishop Ma obviously caught them off guard. His actions and those of the diocese were not taken lightly or suddenly, but after careful consideration of the potential consequences.
And the consequences were swift in arriving. Bishop Ma is now prohibited from assuming his duties as auxiliary bishop.
Shortly after the ordination ceremony concluded, Bishop Ma was taken away and has since been prohibited from assuming his duties as auxiliary bishop.
Shanghai is an influential and powerful diocese in China. Bishop Jin will soon turn 100, and his successor will determine the future path of the diocese.
Chinese authorities do not want brave Bishop Ma to assume that leadership role, and it is likely that he will never be allowed to assume his ministry.
But he has accomplished a great deal despite official efforts to silence him.
Bishop Ma has inspired the China Church and reminded its members that they must put their faith ahead of their lives and their freedom.
He has also narrowed the gap between the open and underground Church communities, laying a solid foundation for reconciliation and communion. We can expect that more open communities will demonstrate their loyalty, while more underground communities will regard some open communities as their true brothers and sisters in Christ.
Bishop MaŌĆÖs courage struck at the heart of illicit ordinations. In future when illicit candidates bow their heads to the government, they will do so under greater pressure and at the risk of losing the support of their flock. Meanwhile, authorities will worry that future episcopal ordinations may prove another public embarrassment for them.
Thank you, Shanghai diocese. The China Church has learned from your confidence and courage. Remain strong. By fasting and prayer, we will be with you for upcoming challenges. We will accompany you during the tough times ahead and welcome any ray of hope.

The above abstract cityscape, was created for Sojie 12 workshop….
It was based on the the photo by Shutterbug called Somewhere in the Middle
This is my fourth translation of photos for Sojie…if you have not been to see the workshop it is an eye opener and well worth it…..in addition, you can see how I created this work, by clicking the above link
Acrylic on Canvas…5316 Views 67 Faves…
I will quote my answer to Billyboy"s comment as to my thought processes in creating the work… "When I saw the photo, I did think of destruction and decided that destruction would be part and parcel of the whole scheme, but also that the support would be part of it…
So not just a painting of destruction, but the destruction of the paint, in part going right to the fibers of the canvas..
At the same time there is light…the light that comes from hope…the light that glowed right from the start, that was there all the time, but which got obscured along the way…a viewer can get a spiritual awakening from the experience as evinced by Michael's choice of music for his title, or take it as something very physical, very literal…
More of my cityscapes
Wow! I feel like I want to go searching in this one. :)

What to do for a pulled muscle
I went riding 4 wheelers a couple weeks ago and the main large muscle in my leg, the one I had a hip replaced on, hurts and when I stretch it out, owie.
Thank you,
Hi Carla,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The only cure I know for a pulled muscle is don't use it--or use it as little as possible. I would also probably prop it up a lot if it were my leg. It takes a long time to heal.
Not too encouraging, is it!
Carla, this happened to my daughter, I just had her at the ortho the other day. He told me she has nerve damage (will not heal) and for the muscle damage he said physical therapy. She's also 20 years younger then you & I...
Can you see a doctor? They will probably give you something for inflammation.
Carla, I just wanted to say my Jessica had the dye test done because of some kind of kidney problems. Turned out she has "extra drain systems" on each kidney. She takes cranberry pills every day to help fight against infections. She just goes every year for a check up with a urologist. Jessica had all this done in the 9th grade and is now in her 4th year of College without any problems from her extra drain tubes...I think its extra uretha's. Anyway....the whole point of this long thing is to say I hope your daughters visit turns out okay.
I started taking the cranberry pills too and haven't had a kidney infection since.
Hello Carla!
Try a velcro thigh wrap for the leg pain. Could be a hamstring pull (back of the thigh) or the quadracept (top of the thigh). If the pain is below the knee in the calf muscles, I use a velcro-strapped hinged knee brace that stabilizes the upper leg muscles as well as the calf muscles. It also restricts lateral movement of the knee. I hope you feel better soon.
The Queen of Crash & Burn
Just saw this, Carla. I may be Queen of The Spasms, so this is well-used advice, anyway:
HEATING PAD. There's an ice/heat routine for a new injury that I forget cos mine is so old, but heat should be safe and really helps how it feels.
Stretch it but gently and very very slowly. And not cold... after the heat is good.
There are many creams like Icy Hot, etc that do help bring blood flow and some pain relief.
This is the ice routine for a pulled muscle that I use. I don't recommend heat in the early stages even if it sometimes feels good because it can increases swelling and make the healing process longer. The acronym RICE is a good standby Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

Staff Report
Bill Pierce testified Tuesday he saw James "Thumper" Steen strike a woman and carry her near the side door of a white van in the D&W Convenience Store parking lot the day Heidi Allen disappeared in April of 1994.
In the second week of testimony to determine whether Gary Thibodeau — convicted of kidnapping Allen in 1995 — deserves a new trial, Pierce testified he was convinced it was Steen, not Thibodeau, he saw outside the store the day Allen was kidnapped.
Defense attorneys have argued that Steen, along with Michael Bohrer and Roger Breckenridge, is responsible for Allen's kidnapping. All three men have denied involvement.
Pierce, who previously told investigators that he believed the man he saw was in fact Thibodeau, said he changed his mind after seeing Steen's picture in a local newspaper.
"Right then and there I knew Thibodeau was not the man that did it," said Pierce.
Shortly after Thibodeau's arrest, Pierce says he drew a beard on a picture of Thibodeau and felt it was "close enough." Last July, after reading media reports that Sheriff Reuel Todd expressed disappointment that Heidi Allen had never been found, Pierce for the first time called authorities to let them know they had the right man.
"[Todd] served all these years, he deserves to know whether he had the right or wrong man," said Pierce, who signed a statement indicating it was Thibodeau he saw. "At the time I did believe it was Thibodeau." But days later, Pierce saw pictures of Steen, convincing him otherwise.
During cross-examination, District Attorney Greg Oakes repeatedly questioned Pierce's certainty, pointing out that Steen would not have looked the same back in 1994.
At one point, Oakes showed Pierce a picture of several men, one of whom was Steen. Pierce said he had never seen any of them, and none of them were the driver of the van. When Oakes lifted a current picture of Steen, Pierce was resolute, saying, "That's the guy."
He said the recent picture of Steen shows the man he saw hit the woman in the parking lot; the older picture of Steen taken closer to the time of the incident was someone he'd never seen in his life.
"To me they look like two different people," he said.
In October, Pierce was shown two photo arrays featuring pictures of both Steen and Thibodeau from 1994, and according to prosecutors he failed to identify either as the man he saw in the D&W parking lot. Pierce testified investigators dismissed him when he attempted to identify Steen.
"We can play games with pictures and faces," said Pierce. "The man that I saw was James Steen."
"Are you as certain of that as you were of your identification of Thibodeau in July?" asked Oakes.
Peebles objected to the question, and acting Oswego County Court Judge Daniel King sustained the objection.
Pierce, 79, says he was in traffic at a stoplight with half a dozen other cars at the intersection near the convenience store where Allen worked.
Though he couldn't recall the specific time because it was 20 years ago, he said it was between 7:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Pierce says he saw a woman standing near the driver's door, arguing with the driver. He says the driver got out, struck the woman on the back of the head, caught her as she toppled, and started carrying her toward the side door of the van, which he believed he saw starting to open.
Oakes asked Pierce to describe how far away he was from the parking lot where he saw the man and woman, and Pierce compared it to the length of the courtroom.
Oakes then had Pierce mark the location of his car and the van on a diagram of the store and the intersection. Oakes pointed out the distance seemed greater than the length of the courtroom, which he estimated at 60 feet.
Pierce testified he did not stop, nor did he call authorities about what he witnessed, something he was ashamed of to this day.
"I was still trying to convince myself that I didn't see the abduction," said Pierce, thinking it was just a domestic dispute.
He said a woman in the car behind him was pointing in the direction of the incident, adding there are several "people out there" who saw what happened.
Onondaga County Judge Joseph Fahey, who was Thibodeau's trial lawyer, completed his cross-examination on Tuesday, saying he would have "raised holy hell" if he had seen documents during the middle of Thibodeau's trial showing Allen's confidential informant information card was dropped in the D&W parking lot in 1992.
While chief assistant district attorney Mark Moody emphasized the card was dropped in 1992 — two years before Allen's disappearance — Fahey said there would have been sanctions had such a document been presented to him six months into the trial.
Fahey testified, however, that he did see a report at least mentioning Allen's status as an informant; last year, in an affidavit for the defense, he said he never saw such a document.
Fahey said even though he may have seen such a document, he was told by authorities that Allen wasn't "used as an informant." Moody also pointed out that during Fahey's closing arguments in Thibodeau's trial, he distanced Allen from drug use or drug sales as much as possible, because Thibodeau had been in prison on a drug charge and because two jailhouse informants testified drugs had been connected to the case.
Moody asked Fahey if Allen being an informant would have hurt his case, because it may have provided a motive for Thibodeau.
"No," replied Fahey, arguing the jailhouse informants testifying against Thibodeau discussed a drug deal gone wrong, and adding that if Allen was an informant, she wouldn't be selling drugs.
Moody tried to establish that Richard Thibodeau's lawyer, now retired Onondaga County Judge William Walsh, shared documents and defenses with Fahey; Richard Thibodeau was acquitted of the same kidnapping charge after Gary Thibodeau's conviction.
Fahey maintained they shared information and used the same investigators, and even that Walsh sat at the same desk with him during Gary Thibodeau's trial, but he downplayed the notion that he had seen every note or piece of evidence that Walsh may have seen.
Moody also returned to the subject of Fahey's organization, or, according to prosecutors, the lack thereof. With the defense team arguing Thibodeau did not have every bit of evidence made available to him, prosecutors have responded that Fahey was not the best at record keeping.
Fahey testified he had an "unorthodox" way of organizing paperwork, but says a reporter's description of his office as "messy" is something that's "in the eyes of the beholder." During redirect examination by Peebles, Fahey testified he would have used Allen's confidential informant status to show a motive for others to possibly do her harm.

Emily goes about her daily household routine of cleaning, cooking, and eating, without too much excitement in her life until she realizes that something isn't quite right about her house. Oh yeah, Emily also has one other problem; she's a ghost.
Written and directed by H.P. Mendoza, I Am a Ghost tells the story of Emily (Anna Ishida), who is, you guessed it, a ghost. We watch Emily live out her ghostly life as she continues to do probably what she did while alive. As the days go by, we begin to realize, along with Emily, that something is amiss. It appears that Emily is a troubled spirit but she is being guided by Sylvia (Jeannie Barroga), a clairvoyant who was hired to rid the house of spirits.
Emily becomes a form of patient for Sylvia as they work on the mysteries of Emily's past so that she may pass on to "other side". Emily realizes that there is also a malevolent force in the house with her that may threaten her afterlife existence.
I would have really enjoyed this movie if it would have been made into a short film running maybe 25 minutes; as part of an anthology maybe. With a running time of 76 minutes; however, this movie, to me, dragged on for what seemed like our own haunting eternity. The audience spends the majority of time literally watching Emily simply do the same household chores over and over and over again. The only mystery in the beginning is "why does she seem to want to stab herself in the hand with a butter knife?" Later on, we see her react to activities that are off camera and they seem to be horrific scenes. Once she begins talking to Sylvia, the mystery slowly begins to unfold before us. The problem is that by the time this happens, we find ourselves fighting sleep and not caring about what is happening to Emily.
Eventually we find that Emily is being plagued by a demon (Rick Burkhardt), who seems to want Emily to suffer greatly. The end of this movie does pay off fairly well with some graphic, creepy scenes, but again, by the time all of this happens, we don't care because it's been a dull ride.
Had this movie been a "found footage" film, I could forgive the boredom at the beginning. As with The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, ET all we have to suffer through boring in order to see the payoff at the end. This not being that type of film, forces us to sit through scene after scene of boring everyday life.
Another flaw for me was the script and acting. Emily did not seem to have any character and at times it felt like she was reading off a cue card and not giving any emotion. This also applied to Sylvia, who by the way, is never seen, so this leaves nothing but a voice, and this voice is dull and calculated. Next up is the big bad demon that would be to blame for this movie being unrated. The demon, while having a couple very effective scares, mainly just gives us jerky movements and is found to be more goofy than scary.
For what did work for me in this movie was the special effects and cinematography. This being an ultra-low budget movie, both of these worked very very well for me. I am not a huge fan of CGI and always prefer the hands-on approach to special effects. Next is the music score. It's creepy, mood setting and worked well.
If you are looking for a fast-paced, gory, super scary movie, you won't find it here. If you enjoy a sort of avant garde, super low budget, dull ghost story, then you may very well enjoy this.
Chop this movie down to a short film and I think it would have been an amazing movie, but as it stands, it left me more bored than exhilarated.

MANY constraints for 30" range hood--any suggestions?
Here is what I am looking for:
Baffles, 30" wide, wall mount (not fitting into a cabinet), no deeper than 22" (20" preferable), max 600 cfm, and quiet. Something that won't look too our of place in a kitchen that is designed around cabinetry from the 1920s to 1930s and has a more old house or period feel to it.
And, here is our situation and why I am looking for the above. We took out a 30" old Jenn-Air downdraft and replaced it with the just-discontinued 30" Wolf all gas. When we went into this we knew we'd have to figure out ventilation and that it wouldn't be easy considering all of the constraints we have to deal with.
The Wolf has been in for about three weeks now, and we actually haven't missed ventilation for smoke or smells or grease. However, we have noticed that our kitchen does heat up noticeably when using the range. In Minnesota in February, this is fabulous. But, we know we won't be at all thrilled in July.
Now that the range purchase has been finalized, we are in search of a hood. Forget what is optimal as far as a hood for this range; we are just looking for something that is doable for our situation and set up. We are going to have to go up and into the ceiling joists and make a right turn there before running about four feet to an exterior wall on our stucco, 2 1/2 story, one hundred year old house.
The range is on an interior wall with no cabinetry on it (and we don't intend to put any on that wall). BUT, on the perpendicular adjoining wall we have exisiting cabinetry whose doors if fully opened will bump into a hood. For this reason we do not want a 24" deep hood because it would cause the most constriction and allow a door to only open perhaps 70 degrees. If we go with a 20" depth, we can probably open the door 90 degrees. So, we want a hood no deeper than 22" and preferably 20" or so. Glass hoods are out because of the possibility of breakage by being hit by a cabinet door. And, because of this cabinetry, we can not go any wider than the 30" of the range. We do not want to deal with make up air, so 600 cfm is our max.
And, of course, I'd prefer something somewhat attractive (probably an impossible dream) and fairly simple.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've been searching and searching and haven't come across many options--maybe Vent a Hood or KitchenAid Architect or XO--that might meet all of our criteria. What am I missing? So many lines seem to only be mesh filters, and I really don't want to go that route.
Thanks much. I know there are really some hood gurus who post here from time to time.
Off top of my head, having helped friend recently, Faber Magnum hood has baffles and is not too deep.
Here is a link that might be useful: Faber Magnum Hood
Needinfo1, are you talking about the type of hood that has a chimney looking thing that hides the vent? Have you looked at Windster hoods? Not sure if they have something that meets your styling criteria, but they do have some models that meet your other requirements re: cfm, measurements, and baffles. Costco carries a few brands online, too.

buffalotina--Thanks, but I called Faber and that is not finished on the top so it will only go under a cabinet.
Mary--I went through all of the Windsters, and there actually is one that would fit. Thanks for the tip! I am starting to get to the point where the realization is hitting that I am probably going to have to forgo any hope of even dealing with stylistic considerations because just finding a fit is going to have to take precedence. Aaaak! Just went back and looked again, and saw the only one that would fit is 620 cfm which takes us into the slippery slope of makeup air. No way we can go there!

I would try Kobe. I just purchased a chx9130sb, which tops out at I think 630 CFM, but they seem to have some if the quieter hoods I saw. It won't be installed until May, so no review yet. It does meet the rest of your requirements though.
Also check out aj Madison online. You can sort things there by lots of criteria. I found that helpful initially, I could look at the specs for many models.
