What's most important to you when it comes to treating patients? The patient's comfort and care, I focus on providing comprehensive, patient-centric treatment that restores the patient to the best esthetic form and function.
How would you describe your chair-side style? Gentle, compassionate, and supportive. Most patients have an overall fear of surgical treatment, so I listen to them with goal of understanding their needs, fears, and concerns. After interpreting their expectations, I explain treatment options in a manner that comforts and reassures them.
How do you educate patients? I share information in a way that works best for the patient. I review radiographs, provide study models for visual learners, and more detailed explanations for audio learners. I focus on using dialogue rather than monologue to assure patient understanding every step of the way.

Confessions of an Unaffiliated Jew
Study: A million U.S. Jews seek Jewish life outside of shul
I have a confession. Or rather a series of indulgent confessions. I don't belong to a synagogue and I haven't belonged to one since I stopped going to Hillel in college seven or eight years ago. What's more is that I almost never go to synagogue. Not for Shabbat. And, in recent years, not even for High Holidays.
I don't confess this defiantly. I'm embarrassed by it. In the days immediately following Yom Kippur, when the slate is supposed to be clean and my lengthy list of transgressions is supposed to be effaced, one of my inaugural sins of the new year is fibbing about what I did over the holidays. I'll say I went to visit family when I didn't. If I can't use the excuse, I'll flat out lie.
I don't know exactly why I do this. But I do know inexactly. It's inchoate and hard to explain. If you indulge me a little (or, at this point, a lot), I'll try to get there. I'll start by naming a few of my most meaningful Jewish experiences as an adult: buying a pre-wrapped matzah sandwich at the old Jerusalem bus station during Pesach. Going to Shabbat dinner at a friend's apartment in Tel Aviv and talking about the weekly parsha over whiskey. Leading a Birthright trip. Uttering Gut Shabbas to another Jew on the streets of Brooklyn. Throwing bread into the Hudson during an ersatz tashlich on the Westside Highway. Listening to my mother's stories. Singing Hatikvah with a group of strangers at a protest in Berlin. Attending a cousin's made-from-scratch seder. Visiting Yad Vashem in an IDF uniform during Marva.
All this navel-gazing comes to mind because of a study released yesterday by the Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring, which explained that one in six American Jews–a cool one million–"are actively seeking Jewish expression and engagement outside of synagogue life." The study led by Steven M. Cohen and Samuel J. Abrams labeled these Jews as "The Unaffiliated."
The choice of the term, "Unaffiliated," reflects the importance that Jews attach to formal belonging. Whereas certain religious systems place a premium upon faith – hence, terms referencing belief or the lack thereof – Jews emphasize communal ties, with belief and even behavior of secondary importance.
For Jews and especially those highly involved in organized Jewish communal life, "The Unaffiliated" is less a term of opprobrium than one signaling a social problem. "The Unaffiliated" connotes those who are lost – temporarily or possibly permanently – to the Jewish community, if not the Jewish people. Concern about intermarriage, ineffective Jewish education, and unattractive options for Jewish involvement have fueled the perception of large and rising numbers of Unaffiliated Jews, as well as increasing investment in "reaching" them.
But here are some of the traits of Unaffiliated Jews, as per the study's findings:
As many as 40 percent of the respondents were under the age of 35, nearly three in five fasted on Yom Kippur (approximately three in four of those congregationally affiliated do so) and 46 percent "at least sometimes" have a Friday night Shabbat meal with family and friends. Also, 56 percent said they were "very attached to Israel," which is larger than any other non-Orthodox group.
It's likely I perked up at this study because I'd finally been named something. The description fit me. Under 35. Fasts on Yom Kippur. Semi-frequent participant in Shabbat dinners. Very attached to Israel. Check. Check. Check. Check. I wasn't a denomination or a lost soul (although I trust some commenters will eagerly correct that assertion). Most of all, I wasn't a bad Jew.
That is the bind of an unaffiliated American Jew. 20% of Israeli Jews are self-declared atheists (which is fine by me, I suppose), but because I am not committed to a community here, I instinctively feel a deficit. I genuinely envy my friends and family who are comfortable in their congregations, even if, for reasons I can't really explain, I've not really felt at home at a synagogue since I was a kid. It doesn't matter that I've spent nearly a tenth of my life in Israel or that I work for the greatest Jewish magazine in the world (wink, wink), I would rather lie than say I didn't go to shul on Rosh Hashanah. I don't want anyone to think I was skipping out. I wasn't.

(Speakers and Signers) Caitlin Berrigan: Speaking to the Inside - a guided tour of resonant frequencies of the human body
A dialog (in speech and sign) between artists, designers, scientists, students, speakers, and signers. Participants touch on the range of human experience including deafness, and on acoustical engineering, especially resonance and sonic vibrations. All presentations are interpreted in American Sign Language. At the center of the conference is a specially-built raised floor, designed to be activated with low-frequency vibration. By sitting, standing, lying on the floor, hearing and deaf participants are able to experience sound through their bodies. During the conference, presenters use the floor as a vehicle for tactile communication. Visual arts graduate student Caitlin Berrigan speaks about resonant frequencies of the human body.

Tournament aimed at bringing members closer: Chairman
TIRUCHI: The Tiruchi zone of the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) found common ground through cricket to promote fellowship among its members.
The two-day 'Cricket for Fellowship,' which concluded here on Sunday, attracted nine corporate cricket teams from the Tiruchi region.
Away from the routine
For the participants, the 20-overs-a-side tennis ball tourney proved a welcome break from their hectic work schedules. "We have been planning to conduct the tournament for quite sometime now. We believe such events would bring the members closer as it provides an opportunity for them to know each other. We are planning to make the tournament an annual affair," said the chairman of the tournament B.V. Ramanan.
Cethar Vessels Private Limited defeated Vishnuram Textiles Limited in the finals. Prakash of Vishnuram Textiles Limited was adjudged Man of the Tournament and Ranjith of the winning team bagged the Man of the Finals award.
Facilities to come
"Tiruchi is fast developing in various fields. As far as the infrastructure facilities for sports is concerned, the district will be getting a high altitude training centre and astro-turf for the hockey ground at Anna Stadium. These facilities would be of immense help to the sportspersons of Tiruchi," said the District Collector T. Soundiah.
Mr. Soundiah gave away the prizes in the presence of Chairman, CII Tiruchi zone, Senthil Annamalai, TiruchiDistrict Cricket Association president M. Kalidas and secretary K.G. Muralidharan.

Sudu Surfing Cottage: What a relaxing place
A friendly Sinhala family run this cozy place with all the amenities you can need in a place like this: hot water, Internet accessibility, wood furniture, garden, sun beds in a very quiet environment where no body hassles you.
They arranged anything we needed within our stay like a motor bike, a local SIM card, any kind of drinks.
The food is cooked by the "mum" and was tasty and varied.
A new brand isolated cottage (cabana) of 75 sq mts big, built of local wood. Placed a few meters from the water. Made out of three spacious parts; bathroom, bedroom and terrace.
Direct and great view of the Indian Ocean.
Enjoyable sun sets. A permanent water wave symphony sounds out here.

this was my base while i was attending my daughters wedding 5 miles down the coast. the owner is very friendly and helpful but i think not so happy that i used local buses and tuk uks instead of using his services. i got the impression that he likes to be needed.
the room was reasonably good until the electricity cut out when i switched the fan up to more than level 3 which made sleeping rather difficult for me. long beach cottage is right beside the road and the railway line. with a balsting ceiling fan the noise is not a problem but with a slo fan i founf both the temperature and the noise difficult

club palm garden: club palm garden. sri lanka
Ok lets start. I am not going to be one of them who come on hear and complain that the hotel was crap because it rained, i am going to be honest about the hotel.
The staff:i can not complain about the staff, they were more than helpful and any problem we had they were there to help and solve it.
The food: myself i was not bothered about the food due to the fact i love spicey food,But my wife does not eat black pepper(and black pepper goes on everything even salad).
The entertainment: During the daytime the entertainment was very good.Then came some rain and the entertainment staff was not to be seen.There are some things to keep you busy during the small showers, but do them on your own because they have not got a clue when it rains.The night shows are....erm.....diffrent.
The hotel its self. The hotel was spotless and the rooms were cleanded twice a day,There was a mosquito killer pluged in the room and changed every day, The cleaners are freindly and they try to talk to you but there english is not that great.The resturant was very clean with fans in the eating area to keep you cool..
If you are going here the best mossy spray is the boots silver tin spray.
The pool was very clean and there was 2 pool attandents.snooker room was ok but very hot on some days.

Charming hotel: Bandarawela Hotel since 1893
We spent one night in this charming colonial style hotel. For most people their journey usually end in Nuwara Eliya, however by continuing on to Banderawela on our 10 hour train journey through the rolling hill country
An ideal base for excursions to Horton Plains, Adisham Monastery, the tea plantations, nearby waterfalls, Udawalawe Wildlife Sanctuary and Hakgala Botanical Gardens.

Globe Trotter: Tasty foo/clean accomodation
At the time of writing there are only three rooms (there are plans to build more), but they are absolutely spotless, with tiled floors, shower/bathroom and fan.
Raja, the owner, was the nicest chap we met on our whole trip. He's a very gentle and laid-back guy and is a former tourist guide, making him very knowledgable about everywhere in the country.
The food is excellent, amongst the best we had in Sri Lanka, and is cooked by a young man straight out of chef school. Get there quick before some big hotel snaps him up!
The rates are very reasonable and Raja can get discounts for safaris and can advice on onward journeys.

Given that $a_n > 0$, I need to prove: $\liminf \left(\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\right)\;\leq \;\liminf\; \sqrt[\Large n]{a_n}\;\leq\;\limsup\left(\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\right)$.
I am really confused about how to use the definitions to prove $\liminf \left(\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{ a_n}\right)\;\leq\;\liminf \;\sqrt[\Large n](a_n)$.
As most of you might have guessed the motivation for this comes from the ratio test and the root test for convergence of series.
Any help is much appreciated.

Giants OL David Diehl retires after 11 seasons
After getting permission from his 7-year-old daughter, New York Giants offensive lineman David Diehl has retired after an 11-year career that included two Super Bowl championships.
The fifth-round draft pick became a cornerstone of tough offensive lines. Diehl missed only 12 games in his career, starting at every position on the line but center.
Addison Diehl accompanied him to the training center Friday and told team president John Mara that she had ''allowed'' her dad to retire.
''It's not very easy for my daughter to talk about me retiring and not playing football,'' Diehl said. ''The Giants are just as much family to her as they are to me. She's been going to the games and at 7 years old, she understands everything. She understands the game and the players and how important it is to play in the NFL.
''For her, my stepping away from something she loves as much as I do is not an easy thing.''
Diehl was selected to the 2009 Pro Bowl. Diehl was the only Giants player whose arrival predated coach Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. With his retirement, the longest-tenured Giants are guard Chris Snee and Manning.
''When I think of David Diehl what comes to mind is his indomitable spirit,'' Coughlin said. ''He got the most out of his God-given ability and that's the best way that you can judge any individual.''
Diehl started the first 120 regular-season games and seven postseason games in his career, the longest such streak by a Giant since the introduction of the 16-game schedule in 1978. The streak ended on Nov. 14, 2010 against Dallas because of hip and hamstring injuries. He ends his career with 164 regular-season games played, tying Phil Simms for 12th on the franchise's all-time list.
''I love football,'' he said. ''I love being in the game, I love watching film, I love doing all of that and I'm going to miss that aspect of it. But I know I'm ready to start the new and next chapter of my life. I'm ready to not only be a bigger part of my daughter's life, but I'm ready to spread my knowledge and help other people with the game and continue to do stuff throughout our community and charity work and be involved with the New York Giants in any way possible.''
In the regular season, Diehl started 65 games at left tackle, 42 at left guard, 26 at right tackle and 27 at right guard. In the postseason, Diehl has 10 starts at left tackle and one at left guard.
''He took the talent that he had and he used it to the extreme, to the utmost of his ability,'' Coughlin said. ''What more can you ask of the guy? And he gave great effort. He always gave great effort, there was no doubt about that. You knew exactly what you were getting.''

New HUBER+SUHNER products at InnoTrans 2014 are set to enable Gigabit Ethernet services in trains; MIMO roof top antennas, new data bus cables and fiber optic jumpers are part of the HUBER+SUHNER vision for future railway connections
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The exciting range of new HUBER+SUHNER products launched at InnoTrans 2014 will illustrate the company's vision for the future of railway communications. On a joint booth with SWISSRAIL in Hall 2.2 at InnoTrans, the world's largest railway exhibition, HUBER+SUHNER's exhibits will include new power and signal cables and innovative products for data transmission. The company will be launching its new 120 ohm data bus cable family and fiber optic jumper cables and will also be showing two new MIMO roof top antennas.
"Today's rail transport needs to be faster, safer and much more efficient," said Alun Thomas market unit manager of HUBER+SUHNER. "Railway operators must be able to provide added comfort and perfect services for customers. More and more complex systems are entering the market to help train operators to meet these requirements. At InnoTrans 2014 we look forward to showing our vision of connectivity solutions for next generation rail vehicles." New in energy and signal transmission HUBER+SUHNER will be showing the new thin-walled cable families RADOX EN 50306 300V and RADOX TENUIS-TW 600V. Compared to conventional railway cables they are especially space and weight saving. Their electron beam cross-linked RADOX insulation material ensure that they retain their shape even under extremely high temperatures caused for example by short circuits.
Maximizing data rates with MIMO Beside new cables for power transmission HUBER+SUHNER will be offering new products for data transmission. The company will be showing two new components in its extensive range of roof top antennas. The omni-directional SENCITY Rail MIMO antenna allows system integrators and OEMs to upgrade rail vehicles to 4G/LTE standard with very little installation effort. The introduction of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) enables a much higher data throughput rate than with standard antennas. This is particularly important for applications that require high data rates, such as 'Internet on board,' CCTV or repeater systems.
HUBER+SUHNER's new low-profile MIMO antenna, particularly suitable for double-decker trains or for rail routes with tunnels, will also be launched at InnoTrans 2014. Customers who have already installed a SENCITY Rail antenna benefit from a clever solution: since they use the same mounting scheme, existing antennas can be replaced by the new antennas with minimal effort.
Expanded range of cables for EN 45545 HUBER+SUHNER's expanded range of radio frequency cables will also be on show featuring the new RF jumper cables: the SPUMA 195-FR-01 and SPUMA 240-FR-01. These are highly flexible cables which are particularly suited to situations where a small bending radius is required. The range also includes the new SPUMA 500-FR-01 feeder cable, particularly suitable for long distances due to its very low attenuation. All these new SPUMA cables were designed to complete HUBER+SUHNER's railway-specific range of cables in accordance with the EN 45545 standard.
The new RADOX 120 ohm data bus cables also meet this new standard. The product is typically used as the control cable for MVB (Multi-function Vehicle Bus) or WTB (Wire Train Bus) applications and connects different devices with the driver's cab. The electron beam cross-linked RADOX material means the cable remains stable at very low and very high temperatures.
Connections for in-train Gigabit backbone Finally HUBER+SUHNER will demonstrate how a Gigabit backbone can be built into the train using fiber optic cables. RADOX fiber optic cables have already been proven in various projects, however the market remains hesitant about the use of fiber optic technology between carriages. HUBER+SUHNER will therefore be showing its project-specific jumper cables at the event. These cables are resistant to vibration and shock according to the IEC 61373 standard. Tested over several millions of inter-vehicle movement cycles and installed for many years on operating trains, these cable systems have shown that, even under harsh environmental conditions, the data transmission performance remains extremely stable over time. This proves that the technology represents a reliable option for Gigabit backbones in trains.
Drawing all these innovations together, HUBER+SUHNER will be demonstrating a comprehensive portfolio of products that companies in the rail industry can use to fully equip themselves for the future.
Exhibition visitors can see the HUBER+SUHNER vision for future railway connections in Hall 2.2 at InnoTrans 2014, Berlin, 23-26 September, at a joint stand with SWISSRAIL.
HUBER+SUHNER Group HUBER+SUHNER is a global company with headquarters in Switzerland that develops and manufactures components and system solutions for electrical and optical connectivity.

Javelinas end season on a sour note
The Texas A&M University-Kingsville Javelina football team finished its 2013 season with a 35-27 defeat to the defending Division II National Champions the Valdosta State Blazers.
It was an emotional night for the Javelinas as they said goodbye to 20 seniors on the team. Senior day didn't end up how they wanted and neither did the season.
The Javelinas finished the season with a 2-8 overall record and a 0-6 Lone Star Conference record, which put the team in last place in the conference. The 2-8 record is the worst record for the Javelina football program since 1983. The eight-game losing streak is the first of its kind in the 89-year history of Javelina Football.
The Javelinas started the game against the Blazers on fire scoring a touchdown on their opening drive. Caleb Bedford connected with Musa Mahmud for a four-yard touchdown pass in the back of the endzone that capped off a 14-play 75-yard drive making the score 7-0 with 8:27 left in the first quarter.
Robert Armstrong found the end zone once again adding to his all-time record in receptions and touchdown receptions with a 11-yard pass from Bedford that brought the score to 14-0 with 1:34 left in the first.
Matt Stoll, senior kicker knocked down a career long 51-yard field goal with 6:34 left in the second quarter to make the score 17-0 in favor of the Javelinas.
The Blazers wouldn't go quietly into halftime, quarterback Kaleb Nobles scored on a 13 yard run up the middle with 1:46 left till halftime bringing the score to 17-7. Just 13 seconds later Bedford of the Javelinas was picked off on an attempted screen pass by Jeremy Grable for
a 11 yard interception return for a touchdown bring the score to 17-14 with 1:33 left till halftime.
14 points in 13 seconds proved to be the turning point of the ball game.
The two teams traded scores after halftime. Stoll added another field goal for the Javelinas this time a 35-yard attempt that made the score 20-14 Javelinas. The Blazers mounted a nine-play 59-yard drive to give the Blazers the lead off a Cedric O'Neil one yard touchdown run made the score 21-20 with 10:39 in the third quarter.
Armstrong added his last touchdown as a Javelina with a 49-yard strike from Bedford which hit Armstrong in stride and right into the end zone giving the Javelinas a 27-21 lead with 4:11 left in the third quarter.
Armstrong finished the game with five receptions for 106 yards with two touchdowns. Armstrong finished his career with 33 touchdowns receptions an all-time school record.
The Blazers added two more touchdowns to take the lead for good and hold the Javelina offense to zero points in the fourth quarter to eventually win the ball game.
Senior defensive lineman Zane Brown said that despite the tough season he would always be proud to be a Javelina.
"We didn't go out the way we wanted to; it's a little emotional right now just seeing the guys that you came in with going our own ways and all that other stuff," Brown said. "You know you're going to miss this place you put all you got into it. Four years went by fast; I loved it, every minute of it."
Armstrong said that the future of this team is bright and believes they can be contending sooner rather than later.
"It was fun; I wouldn't change going anywhere else for anything. It's been a great five years of my life. It's been fun and I wouldn't change it for the world," Armstrong said.
"They are going to be good, they are going to be in the midst of winning a conference championship, Caleb Bedford is only going to get better. He is young and got thrown into the fire a little bit. Things will only go up for him, the defense is young and I think they are going to be good next year," Armstrong added.
Head Coach David Calloway said he is proud of the seniors for leaving it all on the field.
"They went out and they battled they left it all on the field and that's all you can ask for. We got to move forward and we got to execute that's the bottom line. We didn't execute we had miscues in this game and that's what you get." Calloway said.
"I'm proud of those guys like I said it was a tough season, tough times don't last tough people do and they got to keep pushing forward, those guys laid it down for four hard years they just got to keep going forward."

In honor of David Letterman's final show tonight, let's look at a variation on his famous "Stupid pet tricks" routine. It involves people rather animals, but lots of Pavlovian frenzied salivating. I speak of David Bentley Hart's latest contribution, in the June/July issue of First Things, to our dispute about whether there will be animals in Heaven. The article consists of Hart (a) flinging epithets like "manualist Thomism" and "Baroque neoscholasticism" so as to rile up whatever readers there are who might be riled up by such epithets, while (b) ignoring the substance of my arguments. Pretty sad. I reply at Public Discourse.

Lewis on transposition
C. S. Lewis's essay "Transposition" is available in his collection The Weight of Glory, and also online here. It is, both philosophically and theologically, very deep, illuminating the relationship between the material and the immaterial, and between the natural and the supernatural. (Note that these are different distinctions, certainly from a Thomistic point of view. For there are phenomena that are immaterial but still natural. For example, the human intellect is immaterial, but still perfectly "natural" insofar as it is in our nature to have intellects. What is "supernatural" is what goes beyond a thing's nature, and it is not beyond a thing's nature to be immaterial if immateriality just is part of its nature.)

Animal souls, Part II
Recently, in First Things, David Bentley Hart criticized Thomists for denying that there will be non-human animals in Heaven. I responded in an article at Public Discourse and in a follow-up blog post, defending the view that there will be no such animals in the afterlife. I must say that some of the responses to what I wrote have been surprisingly… substandard for readers of a philosophy blog. A few readers simply opined that Thomists don't appreciate animals, or that the thought of Heaven without animals is too depressing.

Animal souls, Part I
Here's a postscript, in two parts, to my recent critique in Public Discourse of David Bentley Hart's case for there being animals in heaven. In this first part, I discuss in more detail than I did in the original article Donald Davidson's arguments for denying that animals can think or reason in the strict sense. (This material was originally supposed to appear in the Public Discourse article, but the article was overlong and it had to be removed.) In the second part, I will address some of the response to the Public Discourse article. Needless to say, those who haven't yet read the Public Discourse article are urged to do so before reading what follows, since what I have to say here presupposes what I said there.

Toner and McInerny on Scholastic Metaphysics
Two new reviews of Scholastic Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction. First, in the Spring 2015 issue of the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly, Prof. Patrick Toner (pictured at left) kindly reviews the book. From the review:
This is an excellent little survey of scholastic metaphysics, written more or less from the perspective of "analytic Thomism"…
The refutation of scientism is elegant and thoroughly successful…
Feser explains the rationale behind [the] principle [of causality], distinguishes it from the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and defends it against many objections, including a standard from Hume, as well as more recent worries, from Newton, and from quantum mechanics. Very useful material.

Hart jumps the shark
In the April issue of First Things, David Bentley Hart takes Thomists to task for denying that some non-human animals posses "irreducibly personal" characteristics, that they exhibit "certain rational skills," and that Heaven will be "positively teeming with fauna." I respond at Public Discourse, in "David Bentley Hart Jumps the Shark: Why Animals Don't Go to Heaven."

Was Aquinas a materialist?
Denys Turner's recent book Thomas Aquinas: A Portrait is beautifully written and consistently thought-provoking. It is also a little mischievous, in a good-natured way. A main theme of the book is what Turner characterizes as Aquinas's "materialism." Turner is aware that Aquinas was not a materialist in the modern sense. And as I have emphasized many times (such as at the beginning of the chapter on Aquinas's philosophical psychology in Aquinas), you cannot understand Aquinas's position unless you understand how badly suited the standard jargon in contemporary philosophy of mind is to describe that position. Turner's reference to Aquinas's "materialism" is intended to emphasize the respects in which Aquinas's position is deeply at odds with what many think of as essential to a "dualist" conception of human nature. And he is right to emphasize that. All the same, as I have argued before, if we are going to use modern terminology to characterize Aquinas's view -- and in particular, if we want to make it clear where Aquinas stood on the issue that contemporary dualists and materialists themselves think is most crucially at stake in the debate between dualism and materialism -- then "dualist" is a more apt label than "materialist."

Pigliucci on metaphysics
At Scientia Salon, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci admits to "always having had a troubled relationship with metaphysics." He summarizes the reasons that have, over the course of his career, made it difficult for him to take the subject seriously. Surprisingly -- given that Pigliucci is, his eschewal of metaphysics notwithstanding, a professional philosopher -- none of these reasons is any good. Or rather, this is not surprising at all, since there simply are no good reasons for dismissing metaphysics -- and could not be, given that all purported reasons for doing so themselves invariably embody unexamined metaphysical assumptions. Thus, as Gilson famously observed, does metaphysics always bury its undertakers.

Reasons of the Hart
A couple of years ago, theologian David Bentley Hart generated a bit of controversy with some remarks about natural law theory in an article in First Things. I and some other natural law theorists responded, Hart responded to our responses, others rallied to his defense, the natural law theorists issued rejoinders, and before you knew it the Internet -- or, to be a little more precise, this blog -- was awash in lame puns and bad Photoshop. (My own contributions to the fun can be found here, here, here, and here.) In the March 2015 issue of First Things, Hart revisits that debate, or rather uses it as an occasion to make some general remarks about the relationship between faith and reason.

Capital punishment should not end (UPDATED)
Four prominent Catholic publications from across the theological spectrum -- America magazine, the National Catholic Register, the National Catholic Reporter and Our Sunday Visitor -- this week issued a joint statement declaring that "capital punishment must end." One might suppose from the statement that all faithful Catholics agree. But that is not the case. As then-Cardinal Ratzinger famously affirmed in 2004, a Catholic may be "at odds with the Holy Father" on the subject of capital punishment and "there may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about… applying the death penalty." Catholic theologian Steven A. Long has issued a vigorous response to the joint statement at the blog Thomistica.net. (See also Steve's recent response to an essay by "new natural law" theorist and capital punishment opponent Christopher Tollefsen on whether God ever intends a human being's death.)
Apart from registering my own profound disagreement with the joint statement, I will for the moment refrain from commenting on the issue, because I will before long be commenting on it at length. My friend Joseph Bessette is a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College. Joe and I have for some time been working together on a book on Catholicism and capital punishment, and we will complete it soon. It will be, to our knowledge, the most detailed and systematic philosophical, theological, and social scientific defense of capital punishment yet written from a Catholic perspective, and it will provide a thorough critique of the standard Catholic arguments against capital punishment.

William Wallace, OP (1918-2015)
Fr. William A. Wallace has died. Wallace was a major figure in Aristotelian-Thomistic philosophy of nature and philosophy of science, and the author of many important books and academic articles. Still in print are his books The Modeling of Nature: Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Nature in Synthesis (a review of which can be found here), and The Elements of Philosophy: A Compendium for Philosophers and Theologians. Among his many other works are his two-volume historical study Causality and Scientific Explanation, the classic paper "Newtonian Antinomies Against the Prima Via" which appeared in The Thomist in 1956 (and is, unfortunately, difficult to get hold of if you don't have access to a good academic library), and a collection of some of his essays titled From a Realist Point of View. An interview with Wallace can be found here, and curriculum vitae here. Here is the text of a series of lectures by Wallace on philosophy of nature, and here is a YouTube lecture. Some of Wallace's articles are among those linked to here. RIP.

White shorts always see-through?
So I bought 2 pair of white shorts. One were some cheapies at Target, another were some decent Head brand white ones specifically for tennis. Both, you can see the white pockets through the shorts! In fact, if I wear patterned underwear (boxers, not briefs, to let Mr. Happy breathe of course), the pattern shows through both. I have to wear light grey underwear with these shorts.
Is this pretty standard for white shorts?
I didn't see players at Wimbledon this year looking like this...
Yes, they are see-through. Just wear white underwear and you're all set.
Most white tennis shorts, at least from a tennis company, will have a white mesh lining through the entire short, to prevent that... Try Wilson or Adidas ones.
Good luck!
Nike shorts are the worst. If you want to impress the ladies at your local park, try going commando in a pair of white Nike tennis shorts. :shock:
Adidas are ok, I bought a pair last year, they're fine, but I still use them with white underwear only, just in case.
That's one reason why I don't buy white shorts. If I did, I would wear white compression shorts underneath.
I'm too well-equipped to wear white.
I have one pair of Nike shorts in white and recently bought two pair of Under Armour in white and both brands have a mesh lining to prevent just that. Still...white shorts are by far the last color choice I purchase.
Lacoste shorts have a great lining in them. As for the compression shorts underneath, use grey. For some reason, they are less see through than white.
I have one pair of white (unlined) adidas shorts and wear black or grey compressions with them. Do the same with any of my shorts that are mesh-type material.
I remember one of Agassi's post-match press conferences at Wimbledon some years back:
(Female) Reporter: Andre, have you noticed that your white shorts, while adhering to the club's dress code, are rather ... ahem ... transparent?
Agassi: No ... but apprently you have.
It really depends on how thick the fabric is. The woven type shorts aren't necessarily see thru, but a lot of the thin fabric ones are when they get wet, as in the Djokovic picture.
I wear white compression shorts under my thin white shorts. White shorts are harder to keep looking clean and new, too.
Shave or wax dude...
I own tons of white tennis shorts and almost all of them are see-thorugh. I really don't see what the issue is. It's rare that you can also see through your underwear, even if your underwear is white. And if you wear colored underwear and people can see it through your white shorts, so what? People already know you wear underwear under your shorts whether they can see it or not. And if they can also see through your underwear, well, what are they really going to see that they haven't seen before? :wink:
The pros don't seem to mind as most pros wear white tennis shorts all the time even though there are huge crowds watching live and millions watching on TV. How many people are watching you play tennis?
I have a few white nike shorts, and they are. You just have to wear white undies or you are in for an awkward day lol
I have white Nike tennis shorts. I wear even black under armour compression shorts underneath and I still look fine :) Most people don't really take that much of a notice because it's.. well under armour. It's normal to wear compression shorts :)
Wear skin tone compression shorts....you'll look like an alien.
I bought 2 Federer's white short :
- Spring 2011 (indian wells - grey sage lining on pockets)
- Summer 2011 (Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros - gridiron lining on pocket)
It's the same fabric and model - except for the lining color - but the summer one is more see-thru than spring !
The strange thing about the Head ones (got them on-sale, I think they're last-year's model) is that they have a bluish mesh in the back that prevents see-though, but none in the front! :confused:

"And we wrote to OSHA and said, 'give us the science behind this,'" Owens said. "If you're going to make a change like this that's going to increase cost, we want to know what the science is and we want to know what potential damage is being done to employees, and whether or not there's an alternative approach. OSHA then promptly withdrew the regulation."
Bob Blankenheim is vice president of operations and general manager of IntraPac. He commended Owens for taking a stand against unreasonable regulations, adding that the proposed rule by OSHA would have cost jobs in the 23rd district.
"The regulation proposed on noise levels would have been impossible for us to meet and would have put every job within our facility in jeopardy," he said.
More recently, Owens joined both Republicans and Democrats in calling upon the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to end a rule that classified milk spills in the same manner as oil spills. The EPA relented on the regulation.
Owens and other representatives also want the EPA to drop a proposal that would "over-regulate" waste oil produced by motorists performing their own oil changes.
Owens says reducing regulation and streamlining government will lead to more jobs.
"I look forward to hearing from local business leaders and farmers on this issue as we work together to create jobs and continue down the path of economic recovery," he said.
Similar outreach efforts led Owens to sponsor legislation repealing the 1099 reporting requirement included in last year's massive health care reform bill.
In New York's 20th Congressional District, Republican Chris Gibson is calling for the passage of the REINS Act, which would require an up-or-down vote in Congress in order to approve all major rules issued by federal agencies.
The legislation would require congressional approval for any proposed federal regulation resulting in an annual economic impact of more than $100 million.

A highlight of Friday's gala is likely to be the excerpt from Dean Moss's American Deluxe, which transfixed its audience (or were we just frozen stiff?) at the unheated Smack Mellon space in DUMBO early in March. Moss supplements his solid dance ideas with video and recorded text; I found these a tad inaccessible, but was riveted by Kacie Chang and Hirome Naruse sighing sympathetically as they hurled oblongs of heavy cardboard at Jason Marchant in "killing the dog," the second part of a five-section meditation on violence. Later the women jumped on Marchant, hard; then he and one of them built a house of cardboard around the other. Moss thinks like a painter, a writer, a composer, which results in genuinely innovative movement.
Another multidisciplinary gambler is maximalist Karim Noack, a classically trained Colombian artist whose Six Months to Live, early last month, confounded my expectations, coming to life as a dazzling (if sometimes exasperating) evening of dance theater. She spared no expense or ounce of energy in bringing to the stage her own story, that of a six-year cancer survivor who fights the medical establishment and seems to be buoyed by her community and its music. A first-rate 14-piece Latin band set the tone for the evening, and 14 modern dancers and another 11 rueda performers (some of them also musicians) filled the vast La Mama Annex with Latin movementvariations for predatory physicians (imagine a toreador in blue scrubs, waving a cape at a tumor), for her friends and fellow patients, and for a corps of "reapers" who happen to be blackcast in the forms and rhythms of samba and flamenco, among much else. The text, eloquently rendered by a cast of five actors including writer Guy Urquhart, segued from nursery rhymes to Hamlet to rants against the system in two seconds flat.
Arlene Croce would probably hate it. You could, I suppose, call it "victim art," and it's certainly agitprop, but it's a hell of a lot more effective and moving than much of the rinsed contemporary work to which I am endlessly subjected. Someone should find Noack an Off-Broadway house and let Six Months run for a year.

Storm Leaves Mess in NYC
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Forestry experts are evaluating the extent of damage done to hundreds of trees in Central Park during last night's fast-moving thunderstorm. About 100 trees were knocked down, and hundreds more have broken limbs, and may need to be taken down.
"Many of them are just snapped off halfway up or on the top or just split off. Like a bomb went off."
That's Neil Calvanese, with the Central Park Conservancy. He says crews have been working since last night to clear the roads and paths so they're safe to pass. Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe says it's the worst damage he's seen in 30 years working in parks.
Benepe says last night's thunderstorm damaged several hundred trees in Central and Riverside Parks and he says those that didn't fall may have to be taken down, including American Elms, some of the oldest trees in the park.
"Those types of trees you won't see again for 50 or 75 years. It takes that long to reach the size and maturity of beauty of these trees."
Benepe is urging New Yorkers to avoid parts of the parks that have been roped off because of the danger of falling limbs. They include the paths leading up to the Great Hill, where more than a dozen trees fell, and the pool at 100th Street.

Have you ever had to call 911?
Once because my son was very sick and vomiting lots of blood breathing problems. Luckily I work on my local Ems so they recognized my address and my boss was at my house in seconds.
We normally have a good response time if 3-5 minutes. But in an emergency minutes seems like hours.
Yep. Pulled up to a gas station and saw a man and woman fighting. Just watched at first as he tried to push her out of the car and yelled at her. Got my phone ready when he threw her stuff on the ground and locked the door as soon as she got out. Called when she kept yelling and he got out and slammed her head against the car several times making her bleed. They both went to jail for disturbing the peace, domestic assult, and possession of drugs. Two cops came after about 2 min. a third about 2 min later.
Yes, I had a student who couldn't breathe during a fire drill, the nurse asked me to call 911. It turned out it was a panic attack. He was fine after he was transported to the hospital.

Asian Markets Rally on Greek Vote
HONG KONG—The outcome of the Greek election sparked a rally in risk assets in Asia on Monday as investors were cheered by the victory of the pro-bailout New Democracy party though the gains moderated in some markets as the day progressed.
In the Markets
- Latest Updates: Markets Pulse
- Indian Markets Slip
- European Market Rally Fades
- Outcome Likely to Ease U.S. Investors' Fears
- Greek Vote Unlikely to Halt Demand for Treasurys
- MarketBeat: Greek Election: Nothing Resolved
- MarketBeat: Markets Likely to Remain Volatile
- Deal Journal: HKEx Shares Slump on LME Bid Win
"It is a relief rally more than anything else," said Christopher Wong, senior investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management ADN 0.00 % in Singapore. "The pro-bailout party is going to try creating a coalition, but that is just kicking the problem down the road."
The winning party has already started informal talks with the country's socialist party to form a new government, with a cross-party coalition likely to be formed by Wednesday.
New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras has vowed to respect the country's commitment to a €173 billion ($218.6 billion) bailout agreement with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, and invited all the parties that support Greece's membership of the euro to join a national "salvation" government.
The election victory gave stocks an immediate boost. The standout benchmark was Australia's S&P ASX 200, which finished 2% higher at 4136.90, its biggest rise for more than five months.
Other markets gained heavily, but retreated slightly in the session. Japan's Nikkei Average was 1.8% higher at 8721.02 and South Korea's Kospi also climbed 1.8% to 1891.71. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was 1% higher at 19427.81 and the China Shanghai Composite gained 0.4% to 2316.05.
There was a similar story in the currency markets—early gains that moderated over time. The euro leaped as high as $1.2748 early in the morning, before easing back to $1.2679 by late in the Asian day. The Australian dollar also received a boost, at $1.0094, compared to $1.0014 late Friday in Australia. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the yen, to 79.22, compared with 78.70 late Friday in New York.
"I'm surprised that there wasn't more volatility or euphoria after what has transpired," said Paul Mackel, head of Asian currency research at HSBC in Hong Kong. "There is still some room for disappointment to come in. This is a small bright spot and it could fade briefly."
Investor jitters could come back if the coalition talks fail to create a strong government, or if attention once again turns to Spain's financial woes.
The "worst-case scenario is that New Democracy will have to form a minority government, which may not last the distance, leading to more uncertainty," said Geoffrey Yu, UBS director of forex strategy in London.
Investors will also be looking to see what policy makers decide at a series of meetings this week—such as a summit of G-20 leaders in Mexico and a meeting of the Federal Reserve. Another important point on the horizon is a summit of European leaders at the end of the month.
"Until we find out what the European leaders deliver at the summit at the end of the month in terms of broad progress toward a better-functioning monetary union, the downside risks from Europe are going to remain," said John Horner, a Deutsche Bank currency strategist in Sydney.
India's Sensex stood out as the region's only benchmark to trade lower, down 0.9% late in the afternoon, after the Reserve Bank of Index shocked markets by failing to cut interest rates.
"A rate cut would have been a sentiment booster, and now in the short term we expect a selloff in equities," said Rajesh Samtani, a fund manager at Anand Rathi Securities.
Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing 0388 1.73 % was the biggest faller on the Hang Seng Index, falling 4.4% as investors reacted badly to the company's acquisition of the London Metal Exchange. While the acquirer said that it can boost the target's business in China, there are concerns that HKEx would have to massively increase LME's business to justify the price paid.

Renault Sandero
Expected Price of Renault SanderoRs 5.50 L - 7.50 L
Exp. Launch Date: October 2015
Editorial Review
Renault has a long line-up of cars to introduce in India and after the success of the Duster SUV, Renault can also bring the new Sandero. The pictures that you see here are of the Sandero Stepway which is a off-road version though the hatch can also come. Why are we betting big on this? Well just take a look, the compact SUV segment is now about to take off with the Eco Sport from Ford and XA Alpha from Maruti. The Stepway looks great in this same regard and the enhanced ground clearance will make it more practical for our roads.
The Sandero looks much more handsome and premium in its new avatar and we certainly like its looks a lot. The Sandero Stepway has 40 mm more ground clearance than the normal Stepway and could an interesting showroom mate to the Duster. The Sandero Stepway gets special off-road touches like front and rear skid plates, new fog lamps, two-tone bumper, bigger wheel arches, 16-inch wheels, two-tone longitudinal roof bars plus the goood looking Azurite blue paint which is exclusive to the Stepway model.
The design is not futuristic but is more European with its simple yet classy styling. There is no style for styles sake and just like the Duster it has an honest go-anywhere vibe to it which we like. The interior is simple but not spartan and the top of the line version has everything you would want with stuff like multimedia system, air conditioning, cruise control, speed limiter and rear parking sensors. It is very spacious just like the Duster and has and airy cabin. Engine options include a new three cylinder turbocharged 90 bhp petrol plus 75 bhp and 90 bhp dCi diesels which are quite frugal. Overall this is one product that we would love to have in India.

I pulled the refrigerator out, and turned off the water valve at the wall. I then removed 3 screws at the bottom of the back panel so I could access the water inlet value. I compared the new part with the part on my refrigerator to make sure they were the same. They were.Using a pair of adjustable pliers, and placing a small pan under it to catch the water in the line, I loosened and removed the water line.I then removed the wires connected to the water inlet valve, noting how they were connected. I then removed the 2 screws holding the water inlet valve in place, and removed the old inlet valve.I put the new inlet valve in place, and making sure to hook up the ground wire, replaced the 2 screws to hold the inlet valve in place. I reconnected the wires, and then the water line.I turned the water supply on at the wall and checked for leaks. I then tried the water dispenser and it now worked perfectly. I tried it a few more times and then checked again for water leaks.Replaced the 3 screw holding the back cover on, and pushed the refrigerator back into place.Mission accomplished, and saving at least $75!
