Dear Scott: I read your article about painting your dog's nails. So many salons have manicurists and massage therapists. Is it better to go to a nail salon where they do only nails or a masseuse who practices alone? Is this just another opportunity for the owner to make more money from their clients by having these people available and eager to provide services? I sometimes feel pressured to agree to more than just a haircut when these others are available. I am not saying that you want to provide nail service for my dog. But that would be nice and would be a treat to have her there in the salon with me. Have you considered doggie nail service? Do you need a license for this? Are these features at a salon a good thing?
Answer: Unfortunately, with the problem of fleas, ticks and people with allergies, salons are not permitted to fluff and puff a client with their best friend, if their best friend is the dog. It is comical that you inquire about adding a doggie nail service yet ponder the aspect of the intentions of a salon that offers multiple services.
Many people like the convenience of the one-stop-shop salon and spa. Yes, this is just another opportunity for the owner to make more money. Although stylists and salon owners love every aspect of our jobs, it is very hard to get along without an income. Like any business, we must make money to keep the lights on and food in the fridge.
Opposite of what most people think, overhead is high in the salon business. Many people think that there is no cost for giving a haircut, so the money goes right in our pockets. Good quality products are expensive. Commercial property rent is high. Add phone, water and electric bills. It is only reasonable to group everyone together in one location to help share the expenses.
Even though the services are available, it doesn't mean you should feel like you need to participate in everything that's offered.
Dear Scott: Does hair grow faster in the summer or winter?
Answer: Hair actually grows slightly faster in the summer months. There is an increase in the body temperature when the weather outside heats up. This causes a boost in the circulation of the blood that stimulates the growth of hair.
Dear Scott: My girlfriends and I were discussing your column, and we would like to know if you buy your columns from someone and run it in the newspaper to increase your business?
Answer: That is hysterical. I love my job and have spent a lot of time and money on my education to be the best at what I do. I have an excellent following and write these columns for the newspapers as a creative outlet. It would be beneath my professionalism to deceive people like that.

Marvel Comics Unlimited tests iPad friendly beta
Marvel Comics Unlimited is a Netflix-like service that lets you subscribe to and consume huge quantities of catalog titles. Like Netflix, it isn't the new stuff, and the old stuff is rife with content gaps, but unlike Netflix, until now Marvel Comics Unlimited was locked into Adobe's Flash player, and that meant it couldn't work on the iPad. iBooks (pictured above), Kindle, and the ComiXology apps have all been options, though single purchase a la carte ones. That's starting to change, however, with a new, iPad-compatible version of the player now being offered as a beta to subscribers. Jason Snell of Macworld took it for a test-drive:
I found more than 300 issues of the 500-plus issue run of Uncanny X-Men, including the very first issues and the Byrne-Claremont run, but not my beloved Paul Smith issues (#154 to #166 are MIA), and most of the recent issues. You can search the catalog by character, series, event, or release date, so I was able to select "House of M" and see all the books in that event, not just the core eight-issue miniseries.
It wasn't polished or perfect yet, but the potential seems to be there. Of course, a native app would be even met (why not excelsior that, Marvel?) Check out the rest of Jason's preview to see where they are and how far they still have to go. Then let me know, would you drop $10 a month or $60 a year for all-you can eat Marvel comics?

Marvel Comics Unlimited tests iPad friendly beta
I would sign up for an all you can eat package including Marvel, DC and Dark Horse for $20/month. Please content providers work together to make something like this happen!
srsly, bro… unless I read something wrong, $60 a year for all of marvel comic you could want is an amazing way to *legally* get them.
The price point is pretty high considering Marvel doesn't have royalty sharing deals in place for most of those older comics, so in most cases the original creators won't see an extra dime.
16¢ a day for all I can read Marvel Comics?
Guess I'll have to renew my long lapsed subscription (I had it the first year, but there wasn't that much available at the time).
Wonder if there is a trial. Assume there will be.
Rene, I agree with a dedicated app (or build it in to the current app) - I am sure it will get there, but they might restrict that to the monthly for new sign ups.
'Nuff said!

Wind: 3 mph
To the Editor:
Catherine Benham's letter of last week succinctly sums up the truth of a difficult situation. I went to the meeting about the Schoolhouse Market's lease last week in hopes of finding some clarity. Clarity was not to be had. What I found instead was an attempt to paint the Rootsworks' board members as part of some kind of monolithic evil force which is trying to destroy the Schoolhouse Market for reasons that remain a mystery.
Yes, it is sad to see the Market lose this location which so many local residents value but the attempt to pull this community into an emotional dispute which has clearly run its course is only magnifying the agony. The Rootsworks' board members are all volunteers. They have been worn down by the grinding lease negotiations and want to move on.
If we accept the basic democratic idea that there is truth in the majority then the Rootworks' board's unanimous vote not to renew the Schoolhouse Market's lease speaks for itself. It sometimes becomes impossible and counter-productive for two disagreeing parties to continue negotiation or mediation and it is really not fair to ask the board to reconsider their decision when there was no dissent in the first vote. It is also unfair to ask the Warren Select Board members to abrogate a legal lease based on so little fact and so much emotional hearsay.

I am by far the shittest kicker in my MT class. I'd go as far as to say I am the shittest kicker in any class of anything. I have, however, got some really awesome shin/instep pads.
I'd look like a poser in them if I could kick. The incompetence shown in action just makes the whole situation hilarious.

I have one Tapout shirt, but that was because I was an extra in one of the worst MA movies ever and that's what we got instead of money (that and lunch). Hey, I had fun and got to see Rashad Evans and Keith Jardine. I look like a poser, but danged if it isn't one of the most comfortable shirts I've ever owned.

Scholarship Golf Outing
This year will mark the 11th anniversary of the annual Kent State University at Tuscarawas Scholarship Golf Outing sponsored by the Kent State Tuscarawas Alumni Association and the Tuscarawas County University Foundation. The event, a four-player, 18-hole scramble will be held at Oak Shadows Golf Club in New Philadelphia on Friday, April 27, 2012.
The golf outing raises scholarship funds for deserving Kent State Tuscarawas students, and last year's outing raised nearly $3500 bringing the nine-year total to more than $40,000. Continued enrollment growth and reductions in state funding for higher education, however, have created an even greater demand for scholarships.Due to the outing's success, a $1000 Alumni Council Legacy Scholarship has been awarded each fall semester to a deserving student. We hope you can join us for a great day on the course next year, and that you will also consider supporting our scholarship program through one of the many sponsorship opportunities that are listed in the golf program (i.e. hole sponsorships, prize donations, event sponsorships, etc.).
Greens fees for the outing are $75 per golfer and include lunch at the turn—your choice of one of four sandwiches and a drink—and dinner. The dinner menu includes grilled new york sirloin, baked potato, dinner salad, dinner rolls and soft drinks/water. A free beverage cart is also on the course during the outing. Adventure Harley Davidson of Dover, OH, sponsors a Harley Hole-in-one hole, where each golfer has a chance to win a new Sportster with a hole-in-one on the par 3 fifth hole, and a skins game is also available.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday, April 27, 2012 at Oak Shadows Golf Club for this year's Scholarship Golf Outing.

Q:Is this safe during pregnancy?Asked on 6/1/2015 by Meredith from Austin, TX
1 answer
A:As I am sure you have gotten to know already, our products are all very fragrant, as we use the finest essential oils and do use them at their full strength. If there are particular products that you are interested in I would suggest taking the ingredient listings to your physician to make sure that they are appropriate for you personally.
Since different women experience different sensitivities and have different needs during their pregnancies it is always best to speak with your physician.
Because our formulas are patented, we do not publish the exact quantities of ingredients, however, the ingredients are listed quantitatively so the higher up on the list, the larger quantity we use.Answered on 6/2/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Do you have to use them in a bath or can they be used in the shower? I just got a few different types and would love to use them in my shower since I don't take a bath e wry day..Asked on 1/1/2015 by Cheley from New jersey

A:Hi there! Thanks for the question! Rose Queen is a bath bomb and might not work as well in the shower compared to a bath!Answered on 1/2/2015 by Anonymous
A:They're obviously easiest to use in the bath, but I don't see anything wrong with using them in shower and rubbing them on your skin. This bath bomb smells like roses and leaves your skin soft and smelling great. May as well give it a try. Get the bath bomb a bit moist and rub it into your skin.
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 1/1/2015 by Anonymous
A:I don't think it would work the same. When you take a bath you sir in the
water that the lush has dissolved into and it can soak into your body. In a
shower it washes right down the drain. I'm sure it would still smell
amazing though!Answered on 1/1/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Is this the same excat smell as Rose Jam? And if its different can u please explain. I have found I love the other Rose products but not Rose Jam and the bath-body Conditior a0-ROSEAsked on 8/13/2014 by lush 4 life from fredericksburg V.A.
2 answers
A:No, it's more of a traditional rose scent. For Rose Jam, try our Rose Jam bubbleroon!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:No, this scent is a purer/truer rose smell than the Rose Jam. When I used this bath bomb it was as though I was enveloped inside a real fresh rose. Just delightful. I wish I would have ordered two and used them both at once for extra super rosiness. I came out of the bath smelling incredible. Totally a thumbs up! Get yourself some!Answered on 8/14/2014 by Anonymous

I was born in Ballantrae, in a farm where my family has lived for 160 years. I was an active farmer for many years; my political life started at the age of 22. Nowadays, I spend most of my time between Strasbourg and Brussels but whenever I can, I return to the family farmhouse in Ayrshire.
Scotland's unique landscape of islands, lochs, rivers, mountains and breathtaking coastal waters, encircle a treasure trove of ancient castles, battlegrounds, standing stones and Neolithic cairns. The winding country roads lead to enchanting fishing villages, where fresh caught lobsters and prawns are brought straight to the table in tiny restaurants, inns and pubs. In the winter, tales of ghosts and ghouls are exchanged over a glass of rich and complex single malt whisky, while seated next to a crackling log fire. In summer, the sun shimmers off the gently lapping sea like a million sparkling diamonds, as golfers stroll along the fairways of some of the world's most renowned links courses. Even the rain is celebrated as the source of some of the purest, sweetest water in the world, the basis of Scotland's most famous export...whisky!
But Scotland is a modern nation too and its bustling towns and cities are home to some of the UK's finest museums, galleries, shops and restaurants. So whether you are a keen golfer, hill-walker, sailor, angler or sightseer, Scotland's rich culture, its welcoming people, fabulous views and diverse array of sights, sounds and tastes, will assault your senses with unforgettable encounters.

Mrs. Jackson was born in Eatonton on Dec. 9, 1922, and had lived in Gray most of her life. She was the daughter of the late Henry Ernest Williams and Gertrude Ester Barker Williams. After completing her education, she worked for the Bibb County Board of Education as the system film librarian. Mrs. Jackson was a gracious lady who loved Middle Georgia and her fellow citizens and spent a great deal of her time living what she believed. She was a member of numerous civic and local organizations. As a member of the Jones County Pilot Club, she served as the "Sunshine Lady," coordinating sending cards, gifts, etc., during appropriate occasions. She also volunteered to help fingerprint the children of Jones County each year in order to help their parents and local law enforcement keep the youngsters safe. In honor of her commitment, she was named Pilot of the Year in 1997. Mrs. Jackson served as a volunteer receptionist for over five years for the Jones County/Gray Chamber of Commerce, devoting over 8,000 hours of service to her community. She was named Jones County Volunteer of the Year in 1996 and 1998 by the Jones County/Gray Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Jackson was also a member of the Gray Travelers and the AARP. Her faith was an important foundation in her life. Mrs. Jackson served as an elder for her original home church, First Presbyterian Church of Eatonton. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Benjamin Jackson Jr.
Mrs. Jackson is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and Tim McKinney; son and daughter-in-law, Joseph Benjamin III and Kibby Jackson; grandchildren and their spouses, Alex and Annie McKinney, Casey and Ashton Green and Kelli Jackson Squires; and by her great-granddaughter, Jade McKinney.

Optical illusions are often described as visual images that differ from reality - the eyes and brain 'sees' something that doesn't quite match the physical measurement of the image. Optical illusions can work in various ways, they can be images that are different from the objects that make them, they can be ones that come from the effects on the eyes and brain through excessive stimulation, and others where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.

It is hard to stay out of trouble when trouble surrounds you. Johnny Lewellen knows that better than anyone but was saved from the downward spiral of drugs, gangs and violence when he was introduced to boxing. Lewellen, the president of the School of Hard Knox, turned his life around and went on to become a professional boxer before an accident ended his career.
His story is no different from many of the kids he now teaches at the gym across the street from Summerville High School. The gym, a small building on the edge of a crime ridden neighborhood, has become a home for many teens who have found a safe haven from the troubles that surround them on a daily basis.

Tomorrow is the anniversay of the atomic dropping of Hiroshima. I thought a "The Best…" list of related resources that are accessible to English Language Learners might be useful.
Here are my choices for The Best Resources For Learning About The Atomic Bombings Of Japan:
The Big Picture has series of photos titled Hiroshima, 64 years ago.
Hiroshima's 64th Anniversary is the subject of a series of photos from The Sacramento Bee.
Voice of America Special English has a report titled Lessons Learned From the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Audio support is provided for the text.
MSNBC has an online video about the aftermath of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
You can read Moment of silence as Hiroshima recalls bomb, which is a report about a commemoration ceremony.
MSNBC also has a slideshow titled Atomic Attacks.
Here's an article on House Of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Hiroshima.
The New York Times has a Hiroshima slideshow.
The History Channel has a number of short videos on the atomic bombings.
How Stuff Works also has a number of related short videos.
Breaking News English has online materials that provide audio support for the text on the Hiroshima bombing.
ESL Holiday Lessons has a number of good printables on Hiroshima Peace Day.
CBBC Newsround, as always, has a very accessible overview of what happened, including photos.
Scholastic has an interactive called Hiroshima: A Survivor's Story.
TIME Magazine has a short report that is not accessible to ELL's, but teachers might want to modify it. It's called HISTORICAL NOTES: Was Hiroshima Necessary?
Remembering Hiroshima is a Wall Street Journal slideshow.
Hiroshima marks 65th anniversary of atomic bomb attack is a BBC slideshow.
Hiroshima ceremony marks 65th anniversary of world's first atomic bomb attack is a slideshow from The Washington Post.
The dropping of the Atomic Bomb, 65 years later is a series of photos from The Denver Post.
I was surprised that I couldn't really find particularly good lesson plans online about the atomic bombings. This was the best I could find, and would need to be modified for ELL's. It's called The Ethics of the Bomb:What Would You Do? I'm hoping readers can point me in the direction of others.
The U.S. Government recently declassified photos taken after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Both The New York Times and TIME Magazine have created slideshows from some of the images.
Here are links to Amazing Panoramic Photos Of Hiroshima After The Atomic Bomb Blast.
Here's a Telegraph slideshow titled Japan marks the 66th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Japan marks 68 years since Hiroshima is a slideshow from CBS News.
Reader Alison Klein shared this useful interactive on Hiroshima called The Fallout.
As always, suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Managed in cooperation with Florida Forest Service
Betsy Purdum
Blackwater WMA, the Blackwater Carr Unit, and Blackwater Hutton Unit, are comprised of more than 200,000 acres in Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties and is one of the largest state forests in Florida. The forest's natural stands of longleaf pine are among the best remaining examples of the longleaf pine/wiregrass ecosystem that once covered much of the southeastern United States. Other natural communities found on the area include hardwood swamps, mixed loblolly pine and hardwoods, and pitcher plant bogs. Some of the most beautiful stands of Atlantic white cedar in the state are found along the banks of the Blackwater River and its tributaries. The forest is critical habitat for many listed plants and animals, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, the pine barrens treefrog, the gopher tortoise, and the panhandle lily. Blackwater's outstanding forest and water resources offer excellent opportunities for hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, hiking, biking, camping, swimming, horseback riding, and paddling. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law . All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. A portion of the Florida National Scenic Trail traverses the area and is open to hikers year round.

Prolifer: Spare abortion doc's life
Paul Moses April 15, 2013 - 12:27pm
One of the many things that make the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell interesting is that if convicted of murdering any of seven newborns allegedly delivered live in his West Philadelphia clinic, he would face the death penalty. Indeed, capital punishment plays an important part in the case since the district attorney allowed cooperating witnesses-- those who admit killing their tiny victims with scissors -- to plead guilty to lesser charges that don't carry the death penalty.Would Dr. Gosnell's execution by lethal injection be a concern for those who call themselves prolife? It turns out that the answer is yes -- at least for one prominent anti-abortion advocate, Princeton University Professor Robert P. George. In a post at First Things, he writes:
Kermit Gosnell, like every human being, no matter how self-degraded, depraved, and sunk in wickedness, is our brothera precious human being made in the very image and likeness of God. Our objective should not be his destruction, but the conversion of his heart. Is that impossible for a man who has corrupted his character so thoroughly by his unspeakably evil actions? If there is a God in heaven, then the answer to that question is no. There is no one who is beyond repentance and reform; there is no one beyond hope. We should give up on no one.
It will be interesting to see the reaction George gets, including from the substantial number of Catholic bishops who hold his conservative views in high esteem. A call to spare Gosnell's life would make a powerful prolife statement, steeped in gospel values. George's column anticipated resistance to that:
I do not myself believe that the death penalty is ever required or justified as a matter of retributive justice. Many reasonable people of goodwill, including many who are strongly pro-life (and whose pro-life credentials I in no way question), disagree with me about that. But even if the death penalty is justified in a case like Gosnells, mercy is nevertheless a legitimate option, especially where our plea for mercy would itself advance the cause of respect for human life by testifying to the power of mercy and love.I do not expect my request to be met with universal acclaim.
The comments on his post so far attest to that -- most are thumbs down for sparing Dr. Gosnell's life.
Commenting Guidelines
Ken said: "Mercy is especially real and especially important, when it is extended to those who do not deserve it."Gracious: we agree! How many times to we shake our heads and mumble when we read of the survivors of someone who has been killed forgiving the murderers?How often do we grumble with the ACLU defends the rights of people who do things that our constitution permits but we find personalyl reprehensible? (Yes, this is a parallel, not a direct comparison.)Mt 18:21-22 ** is probably the least observed message of Jesus in Christianity.** 21 Then Peter approaching asked him, Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times? 22 Jesus answered, I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times."
I say the man must be psychotic, and so not guilty by reason of insanity. No sane person would do the things he has done. But other later-term abortionists do the same extremely horrible sort of thing to the baby before it is born. However, Goslinn did some things that other abortionists do not do, see the feet fetish. Still what's the difference between him and the others? Motive? The others are/might be motivated by the hope of helping the unfortunate women. Morally should that make a difference as to whether or not they should be allowed to practice? Does good will cancel out evil? Yes, we could spend a whole thread on this question alone.
"Fry the S.O.B.!!!"That's my universal reaction when I see/hear news reports like those reported in this thread.Then I consciously remind myself of Jesus' words, "Thy will be done". I realize Jesus would never push the button to set the execution in motion."Forgive us our trespasses..."In the end, I suppose for me it's "Let go and let God".
As a consistent ethic of life advocate opposed to capital punishment in all instances, I'm pleased that Robert George is speaking out on the issue. And Paul Moses is right...George is taking a drubbing at First Things.
I second Willliam's comment.
I disagree with Ann about his being psychotic.. I say he just moved the goal posts from early abortion to where-ever. Logical not crazy. Yes i agree that the consistent life ethic ought to be carried as the Catholic flag in even this most grievous offense.
I am not sure that psychotic fits him, although I am not a clinical psychologist. Psychopath seems to me to describe him better. It describes as a person with an antisocial personality disorder, manifested in aggressive, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse.
Sociopaths commit crimes so horrible that most people think they must be insane and therefore not legally guilty.But sociopaths are not delusory. They know quite well what they are doing, but they dont care about the pain they are inflicting, the evil they are doing.The lack of care, the lack of empathy, is what causes most people to think sociopaths are insane.Empathy and caring help us refrain from evil acts that hurt people; but they are not (or should not be) the reason we refrain from doing wrong. Objective reality, not our feelings, determines whether an act is right or wrong. Our feelings may help us discern that something is wrong, but our feelings are not always a reliable guide, especially if a person is a sociopath and lacks empathy. Too often I think that people confuse conscience with feelings. A sociopath can be a highly moral person; if he chooses to commit crimes, he is morally and legally liable.Sociopaths may even have different brain structures than most people; but this does not excuse them. It would help explain how they do horrible things without revulsion.
Professor George's argument is based on Gosnell's humanity, not on his mental state. That probably is more counter-cultural than his pro-life position. I'm sorry so many on his "side" don't get it, but he probably is hearing first from the ones who were still at Mr. Jaglowicz's "Fry the S.O.B." level of reaction. (Any relation, Mr. J, to Elizabeth Kubler-Roth? You described me to a T.)
Does "(s)he who is without sin, cast the first stone" come into play anywhere here?
Empathy and caring help us refrain from evil acts that hurt people; but they are not (or should not be) the reason we refrain from doing wrong.This may be a silly question, but: Aren't they the root of moral sense? Empathy is not (or should not be) the reason for a particular action at a particular moment, but isn't it where our moral sense comes from?
I don't think it matters whether he's mentally ill or not. I would not have him executed. If killing people is a bad thing, then killing people because they have killed people seems incoherent.
Would the death penalty even be on the table if, for instance, Gosnell had killed the babies by lethal injection before they exited the womb? If the answer is "no", then the quibble is about a technicality. There would be very little moral difference; perhaps marginally less cruelty with that method. The bottom line is of course still the same. Some abortionists already use that procedure. You can bet all of them are paying attention, and will be determined to make sure that there are no more "born alive" victims of abortion. It will be a tragedy if that is the only lesson society takes away from this debacle, and yet again avoids the hard conversation about what abortion really is.
Re: Paul Moses comment in regard to Robert Georges post in opposition to capital punishment for Dr. Gosnell and Georges expectation that his opinion will not be met with universal acclaim that the comments on his post so far attest to that most are thumbs down for sparing Dr. Gosnells life.; and See also William Colliers comment to Moses post: George is taking a drubbing at First Things.In fact, so far (at 5:50 EDT) the 16 comments in response to Professor Georges post are nearly all supportive of his opinion or take no position on whether Dr. Gosnell should be executed if found guilty.The breakdown is as follows: One commenter (no. 3) expressed strong opposition to Georges opinion. Six supported his position (nos. 1,2,5,6,7,8). Nine comments took no position on Georges opinion. Some of the latter comments consisted of back and forth discussions, but none included the one person who opposed Georges opinion. So why the suggestion that commenters oppose Professsor George's opinion?
Helen --Yes, psychopath id a better word to describe Gosnell, though I'm no expert either. The question is: are psycopaths crazy? It is my understanding that they are. They have not developed a sense of empathy so they do not interpret the world as the rest of us do. They do not realize the pain they are causing. We need to hear from the psychiatrists about them, or whatever it is that Gosnell is.
Claire,Empathy and care for others surely arise very early in healthy human development, but maybe not at the very beginning. I think the root of moral sense is the understanding that our own individual survival depends on the cooperation and help of others in our (originally) small group of extended family, nomadic band, or clan. That sounds selfish, but it is recapitulated in every baby, who starts out all take and no give, except for cuteness, but normally grows to accept a responsibility and assume a duty to sustain the group and the other people in it, sometimes at great personal cost.The history of morality is the refinement of that sense and the extension of it to include a wider and wider circleneighbors, trading partners, others who look and sound and think a lot like "our" people, eventually people who are quite different, and even members of other species. Obviously, we haven't got to the end yet.Religion and philosophy have aided the process and, sadly, sometimes impeded it. One of the impediments is the idea entertained in every age that we now at last have a secure hold on "objective reality." And we chuckle complacently at the quaintness and crudeness of previous ages, as later ages will at ours.Moral sense and a glimmer of empathy are not even confined to our own species, but occur in other social animals as well. And not just as the instinct-based sacrifices of certain insects, but as what seem to be fully aware and deliberate acts. There are even examples in other primates of "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life," and although none of us can say for sure what "above and beyond the call of duty" would mean to a baboon, a baboon knows what it needs to do.
Lee--Yes, conscience and feelings are often confused. But feelings of empathy are sometimes a good indicator of the morality of what we are tempted to do or not do, so they can be useful sometimes -- sometimes -- in making a moral decision. Unfortunately, the confusion of feeling and conscience sometimes leads to statements about the morality of an act such as, "That behavior makes me uncomfortable". But my discomfort in itself has nothing to do with whether or not the behavior or non-behavior is immoral. The discomfort is only a subjective reaction to something objective.I would like to hear from the psychiatrists as to whether or not psychopaths have enough understanding of their actions to make them culpable. Certainly brain deformities could lead to mistaken judgments in some cases.
Of course we should not call for the death penalty. While it is tempting for sure, vengeance belongs to the Lord, not to us. What good would killing this man accomplish? More blod running? Certainly it is not beyond our ability as a society, to sequester him for the remainder of his natural life, thus keeping society safe from him. Also, from the look of him (age and general condition) he probably will not try for a jail break. It is not easy for me to say, but the fact of the matter is that if we (you and I) are as pro-life as we like to think, we should call for life in prison for him, both to keep society safe from him and also, in the hope that he would use that time to realize his sins and repent of them before God calls him.Not to draw any too-close parallels, but there was a woman saint (I do not recall her name), that was murdered by a young man rather than submit to his desire. I think it happened in Europe and if I recall correctly, the man who murdered her eventually repented of his sin, confessed, and eventually became a monk.
St. Maria Goretti, b. 1890, Italy. Alessandro Serenelli, her attacker, became a lay brother.
"It will be interesting to see the reaction George gets, including from the substantial number of Catholic bishops who hold his conservative views in high esteem."Aren't Catholic bishops uniformly against capital punishment? I wold be very surprised to hear any of them call for the death penalty.
St Maria Goretti was the name of our Catholic girls' High School in South Philly. Not to take away from her personal saintliness, but when I was a teenager, I was more than a a little put off by the message (die rather than give up your virtue). Even now, I don''t think it is a great message for young girls.
I too find the church's custom of canonizing girls/women who would rather die than no longer be virgins kind of disturbing.
Of course, Kermit Gosnell, even if convicted and sentenced to death, will not, in all probability, be executed. He's 72, and the average time it takes to go through all the appeals and carry out an execution is fifteen years. Also, the jury, if they convict Gosnell, will then decide his sentence. They are not supposed to be reading or watching anything about the case, so if they read an appeal for mercy on Gosnell, they are violating the judge's instructions.I disapprove of the death penalty except in cases when society can be made safe from the offender in no other way than executing him or her, so I don't think Gosnell should be executed. But I think it is a little disingenuous to appeal for mercy for Gosnell when he is not in fact in any danger. I think Robert George is posturing. I will be more impressed with his stand against the death penalty if takes a public position against the execution of somebody who is actually sheduled to be executed. Texas has about ten executions scheduled between now and the end of July. I am sure any or all of the teams of lawyers working to save people currently on death row would welcome Robert George's support.
Jean, you are a fountain of knowledge!That story is oddly relevant. Wikipedia says that Maria Goretti expressed forgiveness for her murderer and wanted him to be in heaven with her. We might not want for Dr Gosnell to be executed for murder, but would we go as far as to wish to spend eternity in heaven with him?
mercy is nevertheless a legitimate option, especially where our plea for mercy would itself advance the cause of respect for human life by testifying to the power of mercy and love.Similar, one supposes, to the wonderful power of mercy and love exhibited by the good doctor toward the most innocent and and helpless among us...Altogether now, let's hear it for mercy and love!
Mercy is especially real and especially important, when it is extended to those who do not deserve it.
Re: Maria Goretti, please forgive me if this is an insensitive or naive comment, but aren't women still counseled to resist and fight back against rapists? Would this advice still hold if the rapist is armed, as Maria's rapist apparently was?Here is how the incident is described in her Wikipedia entry: "On July 5, 1902, finding eleven-year-old Maria sewing alone, Alessandro Serenelli came in and threatened her with death if she did not do as he said; he was intending to rape her. She would not submit, however, protesting that what he wanted to do was a mortal sin and warning Alessandro that he would go to hell .[7] She desperately fought to stop Alessandro, a 19-year-old farmhand, from abusing her. She kept screaming, "No! It is a sin! God does not want it!" Alessandro first choked Maria, but when she insisted she would rather die than submit to him, he stabbed her eleven times. The injured Maria tried to reach for the door, but Alessandro stopped her by stabbing her three more times before running away.[8]"
Thank you, Claire. I have an idiot savant's encyclopedic recall of hagiography. I would also point those interested in forgiveness and mercy themes to St. Guthlac, in some versions a fierce warrior who took pride in the carnage he created on the battlefield ... and one day surveyed his destruction, wept, and became a holy hermit.Catholicism invites us to believe in these stories of redemption, however far-fetched they may seem. As a skeptic, it all seems far fetched. As a Christian, I must admit the possibility. Irene, while I see your point, I think, in all fairness, Ken was not advocating that girls die for their virtue so much as using St. Maria's story as an example of forgiveness.
Duh! My second PP is redundant and contains grammatical errors. I'm sorry.
Hi Jean- No I get that about Goretti and forgiveness. It always just pushed my buttons that my local Catholic Girls HS was named after her. The school was in a heavily ethnic Italian neighborhood, but there were lots of other great Italian women saints (Angela Merici? Rita of Cascia?) And talk about forgiveness, St Rita was no slouch.
We might not want for Dr Gosnell to be executed for murder, but would we go as far as to wish to spend eternity in heaven with him?Yes. In heaven we will see how everyone developed. We will watch one another's evolution and understand what twists of DNA, environment, etc. caused some individuals to be less perfect than we had the good fortune to be. -------- Do priests still preach about Maria Goretti and how girls should fight to the death to preserve their chastity? (Does being raped mean the victim is no longer chaste?) Should boys also fight to the death to preserve their chastity? (If a boy who was being raped by a priest had fought back and been killed by the priest, would he have been canonized? The Church teaches us that it is better to be killed than be raped. Is it also better to kill than be raped? If Maria Goretti had managed to overcome the rapist and kill him, would the Church have canonized her when she died of old age?)
Thank you Jean - you are correct. Gosh I guess it does not take much to veer off onto a tangent.In an effort to steer the thread back on-track then; the example I cited was not intended to be a comment on women but rather, was intended to be a comment on murderers and redemption; specifically how a murderer, if given the chance, might might see the error of his way and repent.Sorry to have inadvertently lead the conversation astray
The comments on his post so far attest to that most are thumbs down for sparing Dr. Gosnells life.Did any of those with their thumbs down offer to act as executioner? Or do they prefer to stay home with their computer while someone else kills for them?
"Yes. In heaven we will see how everyone developed. We will watch one anothers evolution and understand what twists of DNA, environment, etc. caused some individuals to be less perfect than we had the good fortune to be."Really? You been there? I'm sorry, but nobody knows what Heaven will be like (and if it's "perfect happiness" it will mean my memory will have to be erased). And I don't think that we are all merely thralls to our genetic code. We have urges and proclivities. We can also make rational choices. And we can also be redeemed with God's grace in God's time, which is why I am opposed to the death penalty.
please forgive me if this is an insensitive or naive comment, but arent women still counseled to resist and fight back against rapists?Jim,I forgive you. :PI can't imagine any responsible person or organization would advise women either to resist or not resist. Every situation is going to be different. I remember an argument in another forum in which some were saying that Maria Goretti was required to resist rape, because even when the choice is being killed versus being raped, "allowing" oneself to be raped is a mortal sin. The argument was that you always have a choice. It is not, per se, duress to have a gun to your head or a knife to your throat. In my opinion, that is absolute nonsense.
Gerelyn, I think you're more forgiving than I am. At least, if people in heaven are closer to one another than our closest friends here, I have to say that I have a reluctance to being that close to a man like him. Meaning, I'm not ready for heaven! Maybe we'll all end up in the same "place", and what will be heaven for some will be hell for others!!
Really? You been there?I'm there now. There's no time out from eternity.----- I think youre more forgiving than I am.Just older.
My own unsubstantiated opinion for why Gosnell is not being covered that much is that the media doesn't much cover terrible things that happen to poor black people. The obvious example is all the children that are killed by gun violence in Chicago. Sure, there is some coverage, esp. local or when a particularly gruesome video goes viral, but it should be much greater. Did you hear about the infant that was shot dead in Chicago last week? The real conversation we should be having is about how pro-lifers can help poor people like those who went to Gosnell and whose kids are shot regularly on the streets.
Well JC, I am not sure on your reasoning about why mainline media do not focus on violence against poor black people, but I agree with you about the terrible gun-related violence in Chicago, and I wholeheartedly agree with your contention that we pro-lifers should work toward helping the poor folk you describe.What happens in an abortion mill (or when a young man is gunned down in the street) is the Result Of a chain of errors, at the personal, family, and societal levels. Long term and on-going efforts to trim the number of those errors result in happier lives all around.While of course it is important to offer help for un-wed mothers, help that encourages life, that is really an exercise in picking up the pieces, arriving after-the-fact so to speak. Helping keep young folks on track in the first place should be the goal. Not only by word, but also by example, we should teach them why violence is so wrong, teaching kindness and mercy and forbearance and patience, that nobody is the king of the world, that we should love God, that we should respect ourselves and others around us, teaching young boys in particular to have special regard and respect for the girls, teaching about honesty and the hazards of laziness and gluttony, we should teach the importance of caring for and tending the gifts Gods gave us (from personal talents to the natural environment), teaching patriotism and good manners - All of these efforts help to keep young men from being shot in the street, and young women from entering the abortion mills.In summary JC; you make a very important point.
J: Really? You been there?G: Im there now. Theres no time out from eternity.J: Touche. Please let me know if my cats are up there. They're the ones making themselves at home on the dining room table. Tell them I love them and still miss them.
Tom, I'm no relation but I sure wish I had her book royalties :-)
There is an execution scheduled for tonight in Texas. Have Robert George and the pro-life movement called for mercy? I think it is a good thing Robert George is trying to associate pro-lifers with opposition to capital punishment, but it seems to me it is basically public relations. Gosnell's fate is currently in the hands of the jury, and should they convict of first degree murder and decide on a death sentence, there will be a decade or more to fight for mercy for Gosnell. Whereas there is a man in Texas who has a few hours to live, and ten more in line to be executed within the next few months.
"There is an execution scheduled for tonight in Texas. Have Robert George and the pro-life movement called for mercy? I think it is a good thing Robert George is trying to associate pro-lifers with opposition to capital punishment, but it seems to me it is basically public relations."I am not sure what "mercy" means but I personally know of about a dozen people (including myself), both Catholics and Evangelicals, who have both called and written the Governor and Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles asking for clemency for Mr. Threadgill. Since you seem to be interested in learning about Christians' efforts towards the abolition of the death penalty in these US, you should check out the websites of the Catholic Bishops' Catholic Campaign to End the Use of the Death Penalty and the Catholic Mobilizing Network to End the Use of the Death Penalty.
Since you seem to be interested in learning about Christians efforts towards the abolition of the death penalty in these US . . . MAT,Thanks for the information. However, my point was that this plea for mercy for Kermit Gosnell is not to be taken at face value. His fate is in the hands of the jury. No plea will (or should) reach their ears. Even if they vote for the death penalty, there is plenty of timecertainly at least a decadeto plead for mercy for Gosnell. This is scarcely about Gosnell at all. It is about Robert George trying to influence the pro-life movement and to present a certain image of the pro-life movement to those not in it.
It is about Robert George trying to influence the pro-life movement and to present a certain image of the pro-life movement to those not in it.Well good. Prolife means anti-death penalty and once the broader culture renounces capital punishment, it will be gone.
Well good. Prolife means anti-death penalty and once the broader culture renounces capital punishment, it will be gone.Irene,It would be interesting to see how many people who call themselves pro-life (anti-abortion) also oppose the death penalty. There was serious resistance among some Catholics to John Paul II's remarks on the death penalty in Evangelium Vitae. Many claimed, in essence, that he was stating his own opinion, not defining a position for the Church.
"It would be interesting to see how many people who call themselves pro-life (anti-abortion) also oppose the death penalty."They're not morally equivalent. In the case of the death penalty, I believe distinctions and nuance are in order that mitigate against a simple, binary "for/against" stance.
Pope John Paul II's encyclical on this: "It is clear that the nature and extent of the punishment must be carefully evaluated and decided upon, and ought not go to the extreme of executing the offender except in cases of absolute necessity: in other words, when it would not be possible otherwise to defend society. Today however, as a result of steady improvements in the organization of the penal system, such cases are very rare, if not practically non-existent."I don't see much nuance there.
Irene, this phrase, "...except in cases of absolute necessity: in other words, when it would not be possible otherwise to defend society" makes this teaching (of whatever level it is) less than absolute. Someone has to make a judgment as to whether it is necessary, and whether the necessity is absolute (is there any other kind of necessity? :-)) for purposes of defending society, whatever that means. The argument could also be made that this teaching (of whatever level it is) is contingent on EV's claim that we live in an age characterized by a culture of death. If there are times and places not so characterized, perhaps this teaching on the death penalty would be subject to change. Indeed, a glance at history pretty much requires that we hold this view.
Sorry, Irene, I meant to address that to Claire!

- Transport model analysis of the transverse momentum and rapidity dependence of pion interferometry at SPS energies (2006)
- Based on the UrQMD transport model, the transverse momentum and the rapidity dependence of the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii R_L, R_O, R_S as well as the cross term R_OL at SPS energies are investigated and compared with the experimental NA49 and CERES data. The rapidity dependence of the R_L, R_O, R_S is weak while the R_OL is significantly increased at large rapidities and small transverse momenta. The HBT "life-time" issue (the phenomenon that the calculated sqrt R_O^2-R_S^2 value is larger than the correspondingly extracted experimental data) is also present at SPS energies.
- DD correlations as a sensitive probe for thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to measure azimuthal correlations of heavy-flavor hadrons to address the status of thermalization at the partonic stage of light quarks and gluons in high-energy nuclear collisions. In particular, we show that hadronic interactions at the late stage cannot significantly disturb the initial back-to-back azimuthal correlations of DDbar pairs. Thus, a decrease or the complete absence of these initial correlations does indicate frequent interactions of heavy-flavor quarks and also light partons in the partonic stage, which are essential for the early thermalization of light partons.
- Mini black holes at the LHC : discovery through di-jet suppression, mono-jet emission and a supersonic boom in the quark-gluon plasma in ALICE, ATLAS and CMS (2006)
- We examine experimental signatures of TeV-mass black hole formation in heavy ion collisions at the LHC. We find that the black hole production results in a complete disappearance of all very high p_T (> 500 GeV) back-to-back correlated di-jets of total mass M > M_f ~ 1 TeV. We show that the subsequent Hawking-decay produces multiple hard mono-jets and discuss their detection. We study the possibility of cold black hole remnant (BHR) formation of mass ~ M_f and the experimental distinguishability of scenarios with BHRs and those with complete black hole decay. Finally we point out that a Heckler-Kapusta-Hawking plasma may form from the emitted mono-jets. In this context we present new simulation data of Mach shocks and of the evolution of initial conditions until the freeze-out.
- Canonical suppression in microscopic transport models (2006)
- We demonstrate the occurrence of canonical suppression associated with the conservation of an U(1)-charge in current transport models. For this study a pion gas is simulated within two different transport approaches by incorporating inelastic and volume-limited collisions pi pi leftrightarrow K bar-K for the production of kaon pairs. Both descriptions can dynamically account for the suppression in the yields of rare strange particles in a limited box, being in full accordance with a canonical statistical description.
- Anisotropic flow at RHIC : how unique is the number-of-constituent-quark scaling? (2006)
- The transverse momentum dependence of the anisotropic flow v_2 for pi, K, nucleon, Lambda, Xi and Omega is studied for Au+Au collisions at sqrt s_NN = 200 GeV within two independent string-hadron transport approaches (RQMD and UrQMD). Although both models reach only 60% of the absolute magnitude of the measured v_2, they both predict the particle type dependence of v_2, as observed by the RHIC experiments: v_2 exhibits a hadron-mass hierarchy (HMH) in the low p_T region and a number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) dependence in the intermediate p_T region. The failure of the hadronic models to reproduce the absolute magnitude of the observed v_2 indicates that transport calculations of heavy ion collisions at RHIC must incorporate interactions among quarks and gluons in the early, hot and dense phase. The presence of an NCQ scaling in the string-hadron model results suggests that the particle-type dependencies observed in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate p_T are related to the hadronic cross sections in vacuum rather than to the hadronization process itself, as suggested by quark recombination models.
- Gravitational radiation from elastic particle scattering in models with extra dimensions (2005)
- In this paper we derive a formula for the energy loss due to elastic N to N particle scattering in models with extra dimensions that are compactified on a radius R. In contrast to a previous derivation we also calculate additional terms that are suppressed by factors of frequency over compactification radius. In the limit of a large compactification radius R those terms vanish and the standard result for the non compactified case is recovered.
- DD correlations as a sensitive probe for thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to measure correlations of heavy-flavor hadrons to address the status of thermalization at the partonic stage of light quarks and gluons in high-energy nuclear collisions, shown on the example of azimuthal correlations of D-Dbar pairs. We show that hadronic interactions at the late stage can not disturb these correlations significantly. Thus, a decrease or the complete absence of these initial correlations indicates frequent interactions of heavy-flavor quarks in the partonic stage. Therefore, early thermalization of light quarks is likely to be reached. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q
- Elliptic flow analysis at RHIC with the Lee-Yang Zeroes method in a relativistic transport approach (2006)
- The Lee-Yang zeroes method is applied to study elliptic flow (v_2) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt s =200 A GeV, with the UrQMD model. In this transport approach, the true event plane is known and both the nonflow effects and event-by-event v_2 fluctuations exist. Although the low resolutions prohibit the application of the method for most central and peripheral collisions, the integral and differential elliptic flow from the Lee-Yang zeroes method agrees with the exact v_2 values very well for semi-central collisions.
- Medium modifications of the nucleon-nucleon elastic cross section in neutron-rich intermediate energy HICs (2006)
- Several observables of unbound nucleons which are to some extent sensitive to the medium modifications of nucleon-nucleon elastic cross sections in neutron-rich intermediate energy heavy ion collisions are investigated. The splitting effect of neutron and proton effective masses on cross sections is discussed. It is found that the transverse flow as a function of rapidity, the Q_zz as a function of momentum, and the ratio of halfwidths of the transverse to that of longitudinal rapidity distribution R_t/l are very sensitive to the medium modifications of the cross sections. The transverse momentum distribution of correlation functions of two-nucleons does not yield information on the in-medium cross section.
- No black holes at IceCube (2006)
- We discuss modifications of the neutrino-nucleon cross section due to a minimal length scale. It is shown that the enhancement of the nu-N cross section due to new physics is suppressed. Especially the potential observation rate of micro black holes at neutrino telescopes is strongly reduced.
