New 2013 commitment: LB Luke MacLean
Grand Blanc (Mich.) linebacker Luke MacLean verbally committed to Pitt last night.
"It feels great," MacLean said. "I'm excited about the decision. It feels like the right place and I'm fired up about it."
MacLean (6-3, 235 lbs) is listed as a three-star on both Rivals and Scout. He also had offers from Cincinnati and Indiana, as well as several MAC schools. MacLean's high school coach Joe Delaney said he was close to an offer from Michigan State, but that Pitt was always the team to beat.
"All along, he was really fired up about the chance at Pitt that he might have with the new coaches there, so I think that's eventually what turned the corner for him," Delaney said.
MacLean said the Pitt coaching staff told him he would be a defensive end/linebacker hybrid. In fact, he said that on his visit, defensive line coach Inoke Breckterfield told him, "I'll be fighting over you with the linebackers coach when you get here." MacLean is just the third defensive front-seven commitment for Pitt's 2013 class, so he's certainly good for them to have on board.
"The coaching staff, I felt really comfortable around them," MacLean said. "I think they'll do their best to make me the best player that I can be. The city of Pittsburgh is a phenomenal city and I just felt at home when I was on my visit."
Here is a link to some YouTube highlights of MacLean (along with requisite goofy music and graphics): LINK

The Southern Ocean plays an important role in mitigating climate change because it acts as a sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Most current models predict that the strength of the Southern Ocean carbon dioxide sink should increase as atmospheric carbon dioxide rises, but observations show that this has not been the case. To help resolve this discrepancy, Lenton et al. consider the effects of stratospheric ozone depletion, which most previous studies had not included. They compare coupled carbon-climate models with and without ozone depletion and find that including ozone depletion produced a significant reduction in Southern Ocean carbon uptake, in good agreement with observed trends. The simulations show that ozone depletion, combined with increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration, drives stronger winds above the Southern Ocean. These stronger winds bring more carbon-rich deep water to the surface, which reduces the ocean's ability to absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The authors also find that ozone depletion increases ocean acidification. They suggest that future climate models should take stratospheric ozone into account.

Biglaw, Fabulosity, Lawyerly Lairs, Litigators, Partner Issues, Real Estate
As we roll into the July 4th holiday weekend, it's a good time for a Lawyerly Lairs post. What could be more American than great real estate? Great real estate once owned by a great American lawyer, in fact?
The River House is one of Manhattan's most magnificent addresses. This elegant pre-war co-op, offering incredible views of the East River, has been rightly described as "one of the most luxurious, romantic and private apartment buildings ever built."
As you can see from the building's Wikipedia entry, its celebrity residents over the years have included Henry Kissinger and Uma Thurman. Legal eagles like Philip Bobbitt
and Kermit Roosevelt [sorry, wrong Kermit Roosevelt] have also made their nests here. And this legal eagle, a Paul, Weiss partner whose penthouse is on the market for almost $15 million, might be the most high-flying of them all….
It would be no exaggeration to call the late Arthur L. Liman one of the great lawyers of American history. This legendary litigator, a Harvard College and Yale Law School graduate, spent most of his long and distinguished career as a partner at Paul, Weiss, representing such famous clients as Michael Milken and Time Warner. But he also made significant forays into government, serving at various points as an assistant U.S. attorney, chief counsel of the commission that investigated the Attica Prison uprising, and chief counsel of the Senate committee that investigated the Iran-Contra affair.
Liman passed away in 1997. He was survived by his wife, Ellen Fogelson Liman, and three remarkable children: Emily, a neurobiologist; Doug Liman, the acclaimed director of films like Swingers and The Bourne Identity (affiliate links); and Lewis Liman, a former federal prosecutor, current Cleary Gottlieb partner, and great litigator in his own right.
Arthur Liman also left behind a beautiful River House apartment — one that's now on the market for almost $15 million, as reported by the New York Observer. According to the listing, the apartment has three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, spread out over more than 4,000 square feet on three levels.
The private elevator landing opens into this marbled entry hall. It boasts a nice coffered ceiling (click to enlarge) and a mirrored bar, so Arthur Liman could make himself a stiff drink right after coming home from court:
What wonders lie beyond the foyer?

"I ordered these labels to place on favor bags for my husband's 50th birthday. They look exactly as shown. They were shipped quickly and I received them earlier than I expected,which helped a great deal. I would certainly order from here again!!"
"I just got these in the mail, and am really pleased. I didn't even realize they were printed off like stickers, but these will look so cute on the favors I will be making for my upcoming babyshower. Not only are these cute, but the customer service is awesome. I wasn't sure when these would arrived and called customer services. I had to leave a message, but they still called me back that same day and left me a message. I will definitely be using tiny prints again for any other card/printing needs!"
"I ordered these for my gift bags for my guest .I punched a hole in the top and sent the string from the bag through the hole and they came out really nice.It adds a nice touch to any gift bag or gift!"
"My friend ordered these along with the matching invites and it added such a good accent to all the small details. Take a look at these adorable baby shoes she made out of paper and added the stickers to them. Be creative and add them through out a baby shower. People will notice the theme and remember the invite. It makes everything look so personalized."
"cute, elegant, perfect! Exactly how we wanted to represent the celebration for our new baby boy! It was extremely easy to persoanlize this gift tag on line... we are using it as a gift box topper, a nice finishing touch for the thank you gifts! I would absolutely use timy prints again!"

WEST WARWICK – If you are thinking of making a big-ticket purchase online in hopes of evading sales tax, you might want to hurry.
Just hours after Sen. Jack Reed and Gov. Lincoln Chafee held a press conference Monday morning to promote legislation that would require "remote sellers" – Internet and catalog retailers – to collect sales taxes for the states where their purchasers live, the U.S. Senate voted 74-20 to pass a procedural motion to go ahead with debate on the legislation.
Current law already requires purchasers to declare and pay sales and use taxes on items bought in other states or online – a law honored more in the breach than the observance – but it does not require the sellers to collect the tax and remit it to the appropriate state.
According to Reed spokesman Chip Unruh, the measure – called the Marketplace Fairness Act — is now subject to 30 hours of legislative debate over the next several days and there will be attempts to amend it. If it is approved by the Senate, it will go to the House where prospects for its passage are less clear.
Joining Reed and Chafee for the event were two-thirds of the seemingly ubiquitous Nirope – brothers Ron and Peter Cardi of Cardi's Furniture. The press conference was held at Cardi's West Warwick store.
Reed said brick-and-mortar stores like Cardi's "are facing an unfair and unlevel playing field. They charge sales tax. There are many Internet providers who do not charge sales tax.
"As a result of this loophole, they are facing unfair competition, frankly," Reed said of what he called "Main Street stores." He said those stores also provide jobs to Rhode Islanders and will allow Rhode Island to collect about $29 million in sales taxes it is currently losing. Cardi told reporters that the amount of lost taxes to the state could be much higher, perhaps $70 million.
Both Reed and Peter Cardi described a situation in which shoppers would go to a store like Cardi's check out the merchandise and get information from store employees, then they would go online to another retailer to purchase the goods without paying the sales tax. Cardi said some shoppers would have furniture delivered, try it for a few days or a week, and then take advantage of Cardi's return policy to send it back and buy the same merchandise online, often for no other reason than to avoid paying sales tax.
Chafee told reporters he supported similar legislation when he was in the U.S. Senate, and it was one of his first priorities when he was elected governor and worked with colleagues from other states at national governors' conferences.
If the bill does pass Congress and is signed into law by President Barack Obama before July 1, there is a provision in the current year's budget that would automatically reduce Rhode Island's sales tax from 7 percent to 6.5 percent, Chafee said. If the federal law does not pass by that date, he said, new state legislation would be required.
"We're not going to go out and spend that windfall," Chafee said, "we are going to lower the sales tax to keep us more and more competitive."
The governor also noted that stores such as Cardi's also pay property taxes on their land and buildings, which helps cities and towns.
The Obama administration issued a statement later Monday that said the bill "will level the playing field for local small business retailers that are in competition every day with large out-of-state online companies. Because these out-of-state companies are able to play by a different set of rules, this disparity undermines the ability of cities and States to invest in K-12 education, police and fire protection, access to affordable health care, and funding for roads and bridges."

The ministries, which all provide health benefits to their employees through the Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) GuideStone Financial Resources, do not qualify for the exemption that HHS offers to churches and a few narrowly defined religious organizations.
Three non-profit religious organizations are named as complainants in the suit against the mandate, filed by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty: GuideStone, the SBC's benefits arm, which has been providing retirement and health benefits to Southern Baptist churches and affiliated ministries for nearly a century; Reaching Souls International, a nonprofit evangelistic ministry with outreaches to Africa, India, and Cuba; and Truett-McConnell College, a Baptist higher education institution in Cleveland, Georgia.
The two non-profits represent the class of over 100 organizations that provide their employee health benefits through GuideStone, all of which are on a collision course with exorbitant federal fines if they do not compromise their Christian convictions and begin to offer the free contraceptives — including abortifacient drugs — to their workers. The deadline to comply with the mandate is January 1, 2014.
"The government's refusal to treat these ministries as 'religious employers' is senseless," said Mark Rienzi, senior counsel for the Becket Fund. "These people spend their lives teaching and preaching their religious faith. If they do not qualify as 'religious employers,' the government needs to get a new definition."
O.S. Hawkins, GuideStone's president and CEO, said in a prepared statement that "the very purpose of the GuideStone plan is to provide ministry organizations with employee health benefits according to biblical principles. The government shouldn't prohibit us from continuing in that ministry."

Bullying is using force to compel a person to do something against their will or to punish rather than correct. It does not aim for the good of the person. It aims to control or to harm.
Despite recent attention on bullying and developing strategies to address it – in schools and in the workplace – very little is being said about bullying in churches. But bullying in churches is very real. Attention to the dynamics of bullying will raise awareness of its prevalence in communal life and help guard against it.
1. The Abusive Use of Knowledge
Bullying cannot occur without the use of force or the exercise of power. In Christian circles such force or power is often expressed as knowledge. Those who are 'right' are those with influence within the church group.
Certain characteristics of our theological tradition feed this dynamic. Our faith is grounded in history; we believe on the basis of revelation and we experience the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. These characteristics of our faith bring us certainty and confidence. How do we express our convictions? Usually with vigour!
The difficulty with possessing knowledge is not the knowledge itself but the way it is communicated to others. When knowledge is used to dominate people it is a form of bullying. The church bully is the one for whom the aphorism 'knowledge is power' is a working reality.
2. Can Goodness be Compelled?
When Christians try to compel people to do good acts they often call these actions 'duties'. A duty is an absolute obligation that a person must behave in a particular way, no matter the circumstances. The argument is made that as we are created beings, we must find God's instructions for living in scripture and obey them.
Christians do have a duty to live in response to the love God has shown us. There is, however, a limit to the things that can be rightly described as duties in church life. When people act in response to force or pressure – rather than love for God – they are being bullied.
3. Punitive Behaviour by Christians
When power fails to influence others, bullies turn to punishment. Christians tend to punish by withdrawing financial support or their presence (or both). Such actions, however, are not usually described – or understood – as intent to punish. Such actions may be justified by reference to conscience. It is difficult to criticise an act of conscience! However, withdrawing support from a group is rightly described as punitive when it only harms or weakens the group and does not actually express the true concerns of the conscience.
4. Some Suggestions
Here then are three suggestions for keeping a check on church bullies.
First of all, model 'being right' in the right way, and be alert to those who need guidance in this matter. Help people to resist the temptation to use knowledge to dominate.
Secondly, observe when people are being pressured to do certain things. Those who are exerting the force may need to be challenged about their actions, and those who are complying may need support to resist.
Thirdly, be aware that when disagreements arise, people act in ways that have more to do with punishing than achieving the good they are ostensibly aiming for.

With a little more than three minutes left in overtime, Seth Goldberg's goal in traffic propelled the Philadelphia Barrage to their seventh win of the season, their second against the Pride, Thursday night in New Jersey. The win keeps Philly safely in the third playoff spot, and it ensures the Pride will end the season with a losing record.
The game was technically a home game for the Barrage, though scheduling conflicts moved it to the Pride's Yurcak Field in Piscataway N.J. Like the last contest between New Jersey and Philadelphia, this game was televised on ESPN2.
There was an instant air of familiarity to this game as these teams met just two weeks ago, that game also in Jersey. But early on it was made clear this would not be another comfortable win for Philly.
Kyle Harrison drew first blood with a blistering two-point take on the run. Conor Ford added a nice rip of his own when he got the ball and no slide came to greet him.
Goldberg scored Philly's first goal of the day, one very similar to their last goal, his game-winner. Fed by Michael Springer, Goldberg made a nice cut through the middle and scored in traffic. Springer then found Roy Colsey a step inside the arc for their second goal. The consistent veteran Matt Striebel tied the game with a fundamentally perfect bounce-shot on the run.
Adam Doneger grabbed the lead back for Jersey with some smart fundamental play of his own. Usually a time and room shooter, Doneger got a pass, began to wind up for a shot, then threw two nice face dodges to work himself in closer and score from about five yards out instead of 15. Jersey then strung together two more goals to build the largest lead either team had all day.
First, some quick passing skipped the ball from Greg Peyser, across the top to Conor Ford, then inside to Joe Yevoli, who threw two nice fakes and tucked the ball under Barrage keeper Brian Dougherty. Then Scotty Urick scored working his way across the middle and through three weak slides. But a hold call gave Philly possession with a few seconds left in the half. Defenseman Kyle Sweeney alertly grabbed the ball on the restart, pushed it up field and hit Tim Byrnes for the score with just 3.9 ticks left on the clock. The half ended with New Jersey enjoying a 6-4 lead.
The Barrage came out firing in the third quarter, grabbing early possessions and taking some solid shots. Springer scored 44 seconds in on a bounce shot from the wing. Then Colsey tied it with another cannon shot from near the arc. But Philly caught a bad hop when Jesse Hubbard found Urick, who took a shot that rattled the pipe, then ricocheted off Dougherty's leg and into the net.
But Philly got it right back on a play that seemed too obvious for the Jersey defense to miss. Springer sat with the ball at X, looking at a cutting Kevin Cassese. Once Cassese found the seam, Springer nailed him with a great feed and all Cassese had to do was finish from about three yards out.
As both squads began to grow more tired in the second half, both teams looked to press numbers more often. Pushing the ball on a fastbreak, Matt Zash hit Springer, who scored on a jump shot, right as Doneger came through to finish him with a hit. The goal gave the Barrage their first lead of the game at 8-7.
The lead did not last long though. New Jersey showed off their outside shooting prowess with another two-point take. Harrison began to maneuver for a drive from the top, then skipped the ball across his face to Matt Rewkowski, who absolutely blasted a shot past Dougherty from about two steps behind the line. With that New Jersey took a 9-8 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Pride made it a two-goal lead when Greg Peyser scored off a Yevoli assist. It would be their last lead of the game.
Philly rattled off three straight goals and began to look like they were taking over the game. First Andy Corno won a face off, scooped up the ball, and ran right down the heart of the Pride defense, scoring on a bouncer from five yards out when no one decided to cover him. Corno had a great day at the face off X, winning 19 of 24 for the Barrage, many by getting Jersey face off man Chris Colliniates to jump early. His performance garnered him Bud Light MVP honors.
Two more unassisted goals, one by Ryan Boyle on a nice inside roll, and another by Jed Prossner on a jump shot, left Philly with an 11-10 lead with 11:18 left to play. But a fortuitous bounce let Jersey right back in. Rewkowski, working on the wing, rolled on his man and got off a bouncer that was traveling just wide of the far post. But Yevoli, hanging around the middle, was knocked to his knees, a perfect height to now slap the errant shot into the goal right before Dougherty could get there, tying the game with five minutes left.
Those five minutes saw some tense moments, including an arguable slashing call on Springer that afforded the Pride a man-up opportunity. Both goalies protected their teams making some sharp saves. With less than two minutes left, Pride goalie Rob Scherr made a phenomenal save on Boyle as he got inside and dove at the crease. But as the final seconds wore down, neither team found the back of the net, ensuing overtime.
The pace of overtime was identical to that of the latter stages of the second half. After both teams called timeouts and attempted to run more methodical offenses, the game saw both teams trying to push, hoping for the advantage that could leverage them the win. Both teams also fell victim to some sloppy field conditions as a pregame rain shower left the natural grass field quite slick, a problem that became a pandemic in the overtime period. Players that had been sure footed all game were continually slipping as they attempted to drive or slide, resulting in a lot of loose balls and lost possessions.
The Barrage were able to keep their footing long enough to secure a much-needed victory. With 3:16 left, Cassese initiated what looked like a slow break up field for Philly. As he carried, he saw Goldberg fighting for space in the hole. Cassese zipped him a pass. Goldberg threw a few fakes, laid out, and slipped the ball past Scherr, ending the game with a sudden death victory for the Barrage.
The win was hugely important for Philadelphia. Now they are very much masters of their own fate. Sitting at 7-3, they keep pace with division leading Rochester (8-2), and remain two games in the win column ahead of Denver (5-4) and Washington (5-5), for the final two wildcard playoff spots.
Philly's last two games of the season come against the Bayhawks. Simply splitting the contests would almost insure the Barrage a chance to defend their title in Rochester. The road there will start next Saturday in Washington.
Such a close loss becomes that much more heartbreaking for New Jersey because it insures they can end the season no better than 5-7, another losing campaign. The Pride have consistently been an underachieving team for the past few season. Except for perhaps some highly improbable and convoluted circumstances, the Pride are virtually eliminated from postseason contention. They'll finish out their home games against the Rochester Rattlers next Saturday.
With the playoff crunch on, the final two weeks of the 2007 MLL season could see some dramatic games, surprising spoilers, and intricate tiebreakers determining who earns a spot in the elusive four that get to experience late August in Rochester, NY.

More Details Released about the Obama Plan for Housing Affordability – or How the Federal Government will help people stay in their homes
President Obama announced a $75 billion dollar mortgage relief plan intended to keep struggling homeowners in their homes and slow down the current housing crisis. The plan aims to help as many as 9 million homeowners by allowing them to refinance at a lower, more affordable interest rate.
For a Q & A on how the new plan called the Housing Affordability and Sustainability Plan will work, visit my site.
"In the end, all of us are paying a price for this home mortgage crisis," he said. "And all of us will pay an even steeper price if we allow this crisis to continue to deepen, a crisis which is unraveling homeownership, the middle class, and the American Dream itself."
Moody's Economy.com says nearly 27 percent of America's 52 million homeowners with a home loan owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. The president's plan is aimed at helping borrowers in that predicament, and those who are in danger of foreclosure.
"But it will give millions of families resigned to financial ruin a chance to rebuild. It will prevent the worst consequences of this crisis from wreaking even greater havoc on the economy," the report said. "And by bringing down the foreclosure rate, it will help to shore up housing prices for everyone."

The LeBron signature has seen a few colorways that we could only dream to get our hands on. Much like the LeBron 9 Low "LeBronald Palmer" and LeBron X "Championship Gold" special makeups, the Nike LeBron 9 Low "Camo will be one we hope to release. The black tonal black upper looks to feature a stealth camo print and rest on a gum sole. No details of the shoe has been released as of yet, but keep it locked to Nice Kicks?as they surface. Would you cop the LeBron 9 Low "Camo" if they released?

American Yoga 2011: New Possibilities for a New Decade.
I'm not one to make predictions on how American yoga might develop during this newly inaugurated second decade of the 21st century.
But if I had my druthers, ten years from now I'll be able to look back and say that 2010 marked the birth of a new era of self-reflection and cultural consciousness in the North American yoga community – one that evolved in exciting and empowering ways over the course of this coming decade.
Information Explosion
At the beginning of 2010, no books on the history of American yoga existed. True, there were scads on yoga philosophy and/or asana practice. But if you were interested in learning about how yoga was first exported from India to the U.S. and subsequently developed, there was nothing to read except a few scattered magazine articles.
Then BOOM. Suddenly, last year, three books on the subject appeared: Robert Love's The Great Oom, Stephanie Syman's The Subtle Body, and Philip Goldberg's American Veda. These meticulously researched, highly informative histories cover similar historical terrain, but without too much overlap. Together, they offer an incredible new resource for those interested in tracking the on-the-ground evolution of American yoga.
Also in 2010, Mark Singleton's Yoga Body dropped a bomb into the loosely structured but often deeply held set of assumptions that had come to permeate North American yoga culture, e.g.: Yoga is a 5,000-year-old practice. Well . . . depends what you mean by that. But if you're talking about the type of yoga that we're doing in gyms and studios today, we now know that there's a lot of historical evidence suggesting that the roots of contemporary asana practice trace back most directly to the early 20th century.
Whether you agree with Singleton or not, any fair-minded person will recognize that Yoga Body is a substantial work that can't be dismissed out of hand. Like Syman, Goldberg, and Love's books, it presents mountains of never-before-assembled information about the history of modern asana practice. Because it analyzes the development of modern yoga in India, however – rather than its subsequent evolution in the United States – its implications are much more far reaching.
This is even more true when you realize that Yoga Body builds on a small but substantial body of scholarly work that's relatively unknown in practitioner circles: Joseph Alter's Yoga in Modern India, Elizabeth DeMichelis' A History of Modern Yoga, N. E. Sjoman's The Yoga Tradition of the Mysore Palace, and David Gordon White's Sinister Yogis (just to name my personal favorites). If you're interested, there's now a solid body of work detailing the development of modern asana practice that simply wasn't available several years ago.
Blogosphere Buzz
During the same time that this new literature on modern yoga has been developing, the "yoga blogoshere" has been birthed. As a newcomer myself, I can't give a detailed history. But my sense is that most yoga blogs are only a few years old – or less. Today, there's more than I can count, discussing everything from cute fashion trends to the possibility of enlightenment.
The blogosphere is amazing in that it allows for as many creative possibilities as people have time to develop. You don't need to get past an editor. You don't need an agent. You don't need a publisher. You don't need advertisers. You don't need a fancy job title. You don't need to go commercial. You don't even need to check in with anybody else at all before going ahead and just saying what you want to say.
True, you do need access the Internet. And, more problematically, you need that all-too-rare resource today – time. The flip side of the blogosphere being free, open, and noncommercial is that most of us don't get paid anything to work on it. This of course makes it hard to carve out the time to do it, as we typically have other jobs and commitments. And it means that really substantial work, like the books mentioned above, generally isn't going to be produced unless supported by some source other than an individual blogger.
Be that as it may, the fact that there is this new space for sharing ideas about yoga is incredible. And there's new innovations coming down the pike all the time – videos, podcasts, webinars, conferences, courses, etc. All of this allows for the creation of a new online community that's interested in learning, talking, and yes, even arguing (civilly!) about yoga in a way that simply wasn't possible only a short time ago.
Collective Reflection and Conscious Evolution
Put these two recent developments together, and I believe that we've got a potentially powerful equation:
"New Information about Modern Yoga" + "New Ways of Communicating about Contemporary Practice" = ???
What this combination of new resources of information and communication will produce remains to be seen. But there's no doubt that it presents some unprecedented possibilities.
Personally, I'd love to see this equation producing a new sense of collective self-reflection and self-imagining in the American yoga community. Until recently, we necessarily had a more limited sense of how our contemporary practice might fit into the larger story of yoga's evolution over time. Therefore, we tended to be stuck in an unconvincing conceptual paradigm: Either we were continuing an ancient Indian practice (which meant ignoring obvious questions, such as how what we're doing really maps onto ancient practices of ash-smeared ascetics living in caves) or we were corrupting the yoga tradition by allowing Western influences to intrude.
This either-it's-traditional-or-it's-corrupted mentality is no longer convincing. If you've read the yoga history books that have come out over the past several years, then it seems pretty evident that what we're doing today is neither a continuation of ancient Indian yoga nor a Westernized corruption of it. Rather, it's the next iteration of the modern re-creation of yoga that emerged out of early 20th century India.
This is not to say that yoga has no ancient roots – that would be throwing the baby out with the bath water. Rather, the point is that yoga was modernized – and in that process, partially Westernized – even before it was exported from India to America.
Modern yoga was, in other words, syncretic from the beginning, synthesizing ancient and modern, traditional and revolutionary, East and West. This was and is a powerful synthesis, designed to inject the spirit of the yoga tradition into the radically changed conditions of the modern world. Hatha yoga changed from being a secret, radically ascetic discipline for adepts dedicated to achieving Samadhi into an accessible, pragmatic technology of physical, psychological, and spiritual healing and transformation available to all.
As the generation of Indian masters who brought modern yoga to the West is aging and passing, the center of gravity for its continued development is shifting from India to North America. This makes it an important time for serious practitioners to reflect on our collective influence on continued evolution of modern yoga – both where we are now and in what directions we may be going.
But So What?
This is all pretty abstract, so if you're still reading this far, you may be wondering: What is there that's so important to reflect on, anyway?
This of course is a question with no "right answer." But asking it is an invitation to a conversation that might produce some compelling responses.
Just for now, however, I can provide some of my own ideas. A few issues that I'd love to see a collective conversation about include:
- What's distinctive about modern yoga?
- What's its connection to the larger yoga tradition?
- Has yoga shifted into a post-modern phase?
- Has the explosion in the number of female teachers changed the practice?
- How does today's use of yoga for self-improvement compare to more traditional yogic commitments?
- What's the status of Samadhi, or enlightenment, in yoga culture today?
- How much commercialization of yoga is too much, and why?
- What's the real and ideal relationship between representations of the body in the mainstream media versus the yoga community?
- How could yoga be better integrated with mainstream health systems?
- How could yoga and psychotherapy best inform one another?
- Can yoga be a resource for political activism? Should it be?
- Does the yoga "industry" need new forms of regulation?
- Is it OK to label anything you want "yoga"?
- Is yoga best understood a means of coping with or changing the world?
- No matter how much yoga may evolve over time, does it have some essence that's eternal?
The most fruitful questions can't be anticipated or dictated. They'll grow organically out of the soil of collective engagement if and when the time becomes ripe.
Re-imagining Theory as Practice
Patthabi Jois famously insisted that yoga is "99% practice, 1% theory." And as a practitioner, there's a part of me that totally gets this – you don't progress in your practice by thinking about it, only by doing it.
But there's another part of me that feels like the time is ripe for the North American yoga community to start considering theory as a part of practice – or, to borrow a phrase from Shiva Rea, as part of our engagement with yoga as a project of "conscious evolution."
Consciousness, as I'm imagining it, involves curiosity, questioning, learning, communication, and thought. That's why all of the new information that we have on recent yoga history is so valuable, and our new opportunities to discuss whatever we want in cyberspace even more so.
Yoga, it's often said, involves the integration of body, mind, and spirit. I'm hoping that this second decade of the 21st century will be a time when this integration increasingly occurs on a collective, as opposed to simply individual level. The treasures of modern asana practice can, I believe, be synthesized with our emerging self-consciousness as a community of North American practitioners.
Our charge, I think, is not preserving an unchanging practice, but rather keeping our craft alive by continually re-creating it so that its spirit becomes ever more vibrant in our world.

Yoga is truly at a crossroads here in 2011 & nothing but time will tell us where it is headed.
Thanks for initiating this collective conversation, Carol. Taking on your last question: no matter how much yoga may evolve over time, does it have some essence that's eternal? I think the answer is yes. And I think it's important to preserve the unchanging essence of yoga by continually re-energizing it through adapting modern techniques. A synthesis of the eternal essence of yoga with contemporary knowledge and techniques is possible, but it won't come about by whimsically affixing the label "yoga" to anything we like. That would lead to an egocentric appropriation of yoga in service to the attachments and aversions of the mind, which is precisely what yoga is meant to help us move beyond (if we are to take Patanjali at his word). Similarly, the practices of ash-smeared ascetics living in caves are not suitable for contemporary western yogis; artificial renunciation of the world is the path Krishna advises Arjuna against when he counsels him (and us) in the Bhagavad-gita. Referring to seminal yoga scriptures does not mean adhering to a rigid system or antiquated dogma; the essential core of yoga is self-evident in such texts. I think the challenge for us, as contemporary yogis, is to discover how we can apply the empirical resources of the modern world to the mystical technologies of antiquity to form a synthesis that will neither embrace or reject the temporal world, but would instead engage the elements of the temporal world for a transcendental purpose.
Thanks for your comment! I agree. But referencing Ramesh's comment below, there's also a big question of how far one can go with modern hatha (what he calls posture) yoga as opposed to other practices. I found the Magazine of Yoga's recent interview with Jill Miller interesting on that controversy (because there is a controversy there).
She says, "There may be those who criticize my focus on tissues and the body, perhaps criticizing it as a distraction from the "higher pursuits" of transcendence and union. But I truly prefer swimming inside my skin as my path. It helps me to gain insight into the movement patterns of others, and assist them to live with less pain." I get this and it makes sense to me completely in terms of how far one can go with modern hatha (even if most don't, which is OK too). http://themagazineofyoga.com/blog/2011/01/12/jill…
While I truly enjoyed your thought provoking article and feel you raise excellent questions, I find it interesting that you attribute the modernization of yoga so singly to North American practitioners. Yoga communities abound in many "Western" countries (regardless of their geographic position). New Zealand and Australia should not be ignored for their contributions (for better or worse) to modern yoga, which are in many ways both similar and distinct from "North American" yoga. There is more regular cross-pollination from India, Thailand and Bali mixed with bits and pieces of American influences. For instance, Satyananda yoga is practically unheard of in N.A. yet extremely popular Down Under. On the other hand, good luck finding an Anusara yoga instructor in the southern hemisphere. I think that to do justice to a discussion of 21st Century Yoga, you must acknowledge the separate evolutionary paths yoga has taken in the various corners of the world, otherwise it would be akin to ignoring marsupials in a discussion of land animal evolution.
Point well taken. But I would need collaborators for that – I personally just don't have the information base to say anything knowledgeable about yoga's development in those countries. And my sense is that there is not the same body of written work out there (yet) to draw from – and I can't afford to go myself. Ideally, thinking into these or other questions about contemporary yoga would be an inclusive, international discussion. However I don't see anything wrong with focusing on North America (or anywhere else) either – for example, I would happily read an interesting book about the particular trajectory of yoga in N.Z. if it existed.
Thanks for commenting!
Carol, I have said most of what I wanted to say about Singleton's Yoga Body here: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2010/10/yoga-body-…
And I think he has done a good job at documenting posture yoga but done a poor job at documenting the rest of the vast universe of yoga. And so here's the rub: If modern yoga is posture yoga, and if that form of yoga is only about a hundred years old, etc. then sure, that's modern yoga for you. That studio yoga. But there are many of us that do not frequent studios and do not just practice posture yoga, yet we are modern and postmodern yogis, and Americans and Europeans and Asians and South Americans. We are often branded the traditionalists by you posture yogis… Labels aside, yoga is so much more than posture yoga and those other forms of yoga which together comprises a very very broad body of knowledge and practice, is alive and well, and yes, for the umpteenth time, this form of yoga is indeed over 5000 years old. It was not invented by Krisnmacharya a hundred years ago, and I find it a lot more interesting and rewarding than Modern Yoga, if by that you mean posture yoga, which is the way I read your article. But Modern Yoga to me, is also Ancient Yoga, indeed based on ancient yoga. What posture yoga has done is largely separate itself from that living tradition, and that is really what Singleton, and you have done–you have documented and celebrated that separation. No harm done. But let's call a spade a spade. And yoga by its proper place and history.
Ramesh – I don't have any problem with calling it posture yoga, except that it's an awkward term. And, for better or worse, if you're writing for a general audience, that's what they think of as "yoga" today – so it seems weird to have such qualifiers, at least in a short piece. But that's more of an aesthetic consideration – conceptually, if I'm understanding you properly, I don't disagree.
Of course you are right that there is a much bigger tradition, and that some practitioners (although I think we'd agree a minority) are currently more involved with other parts of that tradition than modern hatha yoga. And I agree that it's very valuable to point that out. Because those of us who are more into the posture/hatha yoga can learn much from those involved with other practices.
I think our disagreement has to do with the value of understanding modern hatha better on its own terms. I see it as a very valuable contribution to contemporary society, doing something different from more "traditional" practices. But I see both as valuable in different ways and for different reasons.
Carol, good summary…. I also see modern hatha yoga, or posture yoga, as having many positive contributions, to individuals and society, I do, indeed, even though I did not emphasize it. I think where I take issue is in the characterization that this indeed is Modern Yoga. It's not. Modern yoga in the West started out with spiritual giants such as Vivekananda and continued in the 60s with the various guru movements, many of which are still very active and influential. I know that Yoga Journal keep throwing around statistical numbers of hatha yogis in the 18 million range. I do not have statistical numbers for those influenced by and actively involved in the more holistic and spiritual or traditional yoga movement, but I would argue that this movement from Vivekananda onwards have been at least as influential in changing lives as the posture yoga movement. In other words, modern yoga goes way beyond posture yoga…. How many people have been inspired by and consider themselves yogis in a spiritual sense in the West? Hard to tell. But I do not think that group is a minority.
That said, what is happening in the posture yoga movement is also interesting; a return to the more traditional aspects of yoga, the more holistic aspects of it, such as meditation and kirtan and study of the Gita and the Tantras.
That is also modern yoga.
Yes, good point – although I would add that posture yoga is to a large extent very much connected with the larger modern yoga tradition that Vivekananda was so key in inspiring. And I think that hatha is the best gateway currently to the bigger dimensions of the practice for most people. On the whole, we need that physicality very much today because we lack it in "normal" life.
Unlike Vivekananda, later teachers like Iyengar believed that you could incorporate a lot into asana practice that wasn't traditionally there, ranging from connections to Western psychology to pranayama and meditation. I agree.
Your passage (below) speaks directly to the question I posed to Bob (above). Key issues.
"Splitting the physical practices from their spiritual context constitutes a cultural misappropriation in my mind: modernity, by definition, reduces yoga to a form of fancy physicality with temporary benefits that end when the body meets its end. And traditional yoga philosophy begins with the assumption that we persist beyond the short life-span of the bodies we inhabit (see Gita 2.12), likening the healing of the body as an ultimate goal to saving the bathing suit of a drowning swimmer."
Hari Kirtana, Taminguthor, there are at least two distinct traditions in Yoga, the vedantic model which views the body, the material as "illusion' and is thus reflected in your "saving the bathing suit" analogy above, and the tantric view which has a more body-positive philosophy that views the body as the temple of spirit and thus absolutely vital in the effort of transcendence. It embraces the body, while vedanta tends to neglect or avoid it. hence Vivekananda was not hot on hatha yoga… and thus some contend he died young because of his neglect of the body….
HariKirtana and Greg: I agree up to a point, but we have a major divide over the importance of believing in something like reincarnation. I don't see it as central to yogic spirituality today at all – not that I"m against it in any way, but I absolutely do not see it as required. I think Stephen Batchelor is right, insofar as he is just very honestly describing an alternative way of working with a spiritual practice that makes sense to many people today, which simply cannot buy into traditional belief systems that don't make sense to them and don't connect to their own experience – which may be very deep, but differently understood.
In general, I am very much against doctrine and dogma, whether religious or spiritual or yogic or whatever – the "you must believe this" or else . . . you're not legitimate, or whatever. Certainly today, it seems like a primary value that we must accept the fact that people of good faith will have different beliefs on these sorts of questions.
Which, I think, is very much what Vivekananda was teaching – so, connecting back to Ramesh's comments, very much in line with the larger tradition of modern yoga.
Carol, while reincarnation is an integral aspect of traditional yogic thinking, it is not as central as in Jainism or Buddhism, and when one consider other important aspects of yoga, such as experiencing oneness, living in the presence, seeing everything as sacred, that enlightenment is to be experienced now and not in the hereafter, then reincarnation, even if one knows it's a reality or just believes in it, becomes peripheral to the whole project of selftransformation. But it is as important to acknowledge that not embracing such tenets is a departure from yoga philosophy as it is common not to among modern western yogis.
Carol, yes the larger tradition of yoga has different views on a host of things, but reincarnation is central to most although not as important as in Jainism and Buddhism. Modern posture yoga, as it is mainly focused on yoga as physical exercise and secondarily, if at all, as spiritual practice, will naturally not subscribe to many of the central philosophical or lifestyle themes of more traditional yoga, which is fine. But, while there were various yoga philosophies, there were central themes to all of them, and karma, samskara and reincarnation are themes throughout and deeply rooted in the whole yogic enterprise. Still, how important are these, when yoga is mostly about realizing unity and balance in the here and now? A more important issue, I think, is the differemce between Vedanta and Tantra, one saying the world is an illusion, the other that is is not. One saying the body is not important, hence Vivekananda did not care much for hatha yoga and consequently may have cause his own premature death at 39. Tantra on the other hand sees the body as a temple, the world as sacred and the body as a vehicle for transcendence,.. Hence, in Tantra, asanas are not goals in themselves but practices to prepare for meditation, for the inner journey.
Carol, the problem is that reincarnation is not "optional" and is not a "belief." It is a central concept.
Both Bob and Batchelor, as well as others on the track of western materialism, do not understand the vital role of reincarnation in the yoga texts and the Gita, and in the Buddhist literature.
When one guts the practice of this understanding, as Batchelor does, it is not because of increased or better understanding but rather because of a failure in the practice. He sets other people up for failure as well.
The mistake arises from western cynicism that says reincarnation appears in the old texts as a result of belief. People like Bob then redact these references, gutting the material. This is an error. (Which you are repeating.) Reincarnation appears based on the firsthand experience of the teachers. They do not add it as an "extra" but rather point to an understanding the student must reach. It is not about belief. It is about a state of awareness.
The essence of reincarnation is a statement about the true essence of the practitioner. If one does not grasp that this is your nature, the practice will hit a dead end. Done. Finished.
Here is an analogy. A student practices with a black bag over his head. He becomes very good in the studio where four walls provide safety. But then the instructor takes the student out in nature to a meadow. At one end of the meadow is a cliff. One false step and one plummets to one's death.
Now the student can insist on practicing with the black bag over his head and risk plummeting to his death or he can agree to remove the black bag so he can see. Reincarnation, lack of understanding of, is like the black bag, it is existing in a condition of limited awareness and perception. Okay if one wants to putter around the studio, but a definite liability if one wishes to really practice.

Hilary – great comment. I think that you are so right to say that to date our left brain engagement has been very much with issues of anatomy. Which of course has been incredibly fruitful and a great contribution to the practice.
I however am interested in adding in a left-brain dimension that thinks about yoga on the historical, cultural, and communal dimensions as well. This is a big paradigm shift and I'm not sure how many other practitioners out there find it the least bit interesting or attractive. But I do think that books like Yoga Body have opened up that possibility in a new way.
Hilary – great comment, thanks! Somehow my earlier reply was never posted. Don't know why. At any rate, I think that's a very accurate and astute observation – we're thrilled that yoga takes us into the right/extra-rational brain (which we need, desperately, so that's cool), but then so far our primary connection with the left/rational side is with anatomy. Which has been incredibly fruitful. Now I'm wondering how much interest there is in thinking about yoga as a collective practice and also do some left/right brain synthesis in terms of history, culture, philosophy, whatever. It's new and challenges some sacred cows, but I believe that it could be quite fruitful as well.
Harikirtana, great points. Yes, Krishnamacarya was steeped in te traditional aspects of yoga, so where his students Iyengar and Jois…I also like your friend's hierarchical level.
I am in an intensive yoga detox training at the moment for one month and since I am able to dedicate nearly all my time in practice, I am acutely aware that my hatha practice is unable to take me to the cosmic depths of transcendence that my meditation practice is. I am also acutely aware that without my hatha practice, I would not be able to sit as comfortable in meditation for so long enjoying the inner cosmos of the spiritual realm. Nor would I be as healthy in general. Mind transcends and includes the body, spirit transcends and includes both. All is important. All is yoga.

Cyclist who was first British casualty of WWI 'may have been killed by friendly fire' (+ video)
Private John Parr was aged around 15 at time of death; cyclists killed in war to be remembered at Meriden next month
A teenage cyclist who was the first British soldier to be killed in World War I may have been the victim of a 'friendly fire' incident involving French or Belgian troops, according to military writer. Next month, a special service will be held at the National Cyclists' Memorial in Meriden to commemorate cyclist who died in that and other conflicts.
Private John Parr died on 21 August 1914 and is buried at St Symphorien Military Cemetery near Mons in Belgium, where his grave faces that of Private George Ellison, the last British soldier killed in the war.
The son of a milkman from Finchley, North London, Private Parr is believed to have been aged around 15 at the time of his death. Said to be 5' 3" tall and to weigh eight stones, prior to the war he worked as a caddy at a local golf club.
While he is said to have given his age as 17 in order to enlist with the Middlesex Regiment as a reconnaissance cyclist, his gravestone gives his age as 20.
In August, he will be honoured at a special Anglo-German service at the cemetery which will be attended by a senior member of the British royal family.
Although the truth about his death will never be known, the accepted account of Private Parr's death is that he was taking part in a bicycle patrol with another soldier when they spotted German troops. It is thought that he remained behind to cover his comrade.
The other soldier, Lance Corporal Beart, would recall almost seven decades later that he had caught a "glimpse of Uhlans" – German cavalrymen – and that he never saw Private Parr again, reports The Sunday Times [£].
But military author John Cooksey, whose book The Retreat From Mons 1914: North is published by Pen and Sword Books next month, insists that there were no German soldiers within 10, perhaps 15 miles of that location on the evening in question.
He told the newspaper: "There was no German soldier around to shoot at him. John Parr must have died either of friendly fire… or as the result of an accident."
He added: "No contact with the British Expeditionary Force near Mons had been reported that day, because there had been nothing to report.
"Every German cavalryman or officer would have been eager to take credit and receive a recommendation from his superiors."
After their victory at the Battle of Mons on 23 August 2014, German soldiers discovered Private Parr's body and buried in the cemetery where it lies today, the final resting place of more than 500 soldiers on both sides of the conflict.
Commemoration at Meriden
Next month, on Sunday 18 May at 11am, a special service will be held at the National Cyclists' Memorial in Meriden, near Coventry.
An annual service has been held at the site each year since the memorial was unveiled in 1921. This one, from 1950, was filmed by British Pathé.
The service this year will be blessed by the Bishop of Warwick, while a new plaque will be unveiled to commemorate those cyclists who have lost their lives in armed conflict since 1945. It will join another plaque put in place in 1965 to remember the dead of World War II.
All are welcome to the service which, forms part of the CTC Heart of England Meriden Cycling Rally & Centennial Memorial Weekend, comprising four rides.
Those are the Cotswold Challenge 160km Audax, the Warwickshire Wanderer 105k Audax plus two leisure rides and a Fish & Chips supper on Saturday 17 May 2014, including screenings of two cycling-themed films, Alan Bennett's A Day Out and CTC Cyclists' Special.

Hang on, so the guy that was by his side gives his version of events, then someone who wasn't even born at the time says...nope, you are a liar.
That is a nice way to treat the ones who fought to keep this country British.....

Johnson to miss T20 series against Proteas to rest for World T20
Australian pace sensation Mitchell Johnson has reportedly been excluded from the Twenty20 squad to play against South Africa as he will be sent home to rest up for the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh.
Johnson, who bowled 34 overs in South Africa's marathon second innings in the series decider at Newlands, would be replaced by all-rounder Moises Henriques in Australia's T20 touring party.
According to News.com.au, coach Darren Lehmann said that they believe Johnson will benefit from returning home for a few days of rest with his family where he can freshen up as he had a very long winter, adding that he will link back up with the squad in Bangladesh ahead the ICC World Twenty20.
The report mentioned that in his 59-Test career, Johnson has only ever bowled more in an innings on eight occasions - the most recent being in Sri Lanka in September 2011.
Australia is yet to win the World T20 trophy in four attempts and will start their 2014 tilt against Pakistan on March 23 in Dhaka, the report added.

The woman who was living in a lakeside home under the premise of an obscure squatter's rights law was arrested Friday afternoon for illegally moving into the Bolles Harbor house owned by Dr. Oscar Linares, who is in the midst of a legal battle over illegal pill distribution.
Ashley Carman, 27, was taken into custody at her job and lodged in the Monroe County jail on an unlawful entry warrant. Michigan State Police, which investigated the trespassing complaint last month, took her into custody once a warrant was issued. She was to be released late Friday afternoon.
Monroe County Prosecutor William P. Nichols said the charge is a 90- day misdemeanor. In many instances involving misdemeanors, the defendant is sent a letter and given 30 days to surrender. But MSP Sgt. Rodney Goss said it was decided that Ms. Carman needed to be taken into custody immediately.
"We felt an example needed to be made," Sgt. Goss said. " We can't give in to the idea that people can just go into someone's house and move in when you're gone."
Ms. Carman, who spent eight years in the Air Force as a jet mechanic, decided to move into the house on Lake Dr. in April when she noticed it was vacant and in disrepair. She lived in the neighborhood at the time and believed she had a right to take over ownership under adverse possession law, which normally involves property line disputes.
• • • •
RELATED: Squatting or trespassing? Woman says she has right to live in vacant Bolles Harbor home; owner says not
• • • •
The 4,200 square- foot, five- bedroom house is owned by Dr. Linares, whose former office in Monroe was raided by police in a drug sting in 2011. Many of his valuables, including a fleet of vehicles, were seized by federal authorities but not the house. It remains in his and his wife's names and is legally their property, according to the U. S. Department of Justice. A spokeswoman said federal officials did not pursue forfeiture proceedings against the house.
According to the Register of Deeds, the property is in a trust with the Linares' names. The taxes are delinquent since 2011 and $ 22,814 is owed in back taxes. According to Monroe Township records, no building permits were pulled since 2010 when a fireplace was added in.
On Feb. 10 Julissa Smith, the property manager, said she served Ms. Carman notice to vacate the house within one month. She disputed that the house was in disrepair. The deadline to move out is Monday. On Feb. 22 the police were called to the house and Ms. Carman reported that Dr. Linares forced his way into the home and rummaged through her personal property. She said she feared for her safety.
Before she was arrested Ms. Carman said that she was intending to leave the premises. She said under the adverse possession law, if the property owner makes contact with the occupant, the law no longer applies.
"I am leaving the house," she said prior to Friday. "I don't want any legal troubles. I'm not trying to hurt anybody."
But before she could attempt to move out and make the Monday deadline, she was arrested.
"She rolled the dice," Ms. Smith said. " I actually feel some justice was served."
Ms. Carman spent several hours in jail Friday and was expected to be released. She could be arraigned before a judge on Monday.
Ms. Smith said she will not interfere when Ms. Carman removes her belongings from the house. Ms. Carman had said that while she lived in the house she spent $ 40,000 fixing it up. Before she was taken into custody she said she had no regrets about her decisions and believed she was making them legally.
"The law didn't work in my favor," she said before she knew criminal charges were filed. "It sucks that I lost a lot of money but I'm not upset. I did get to enjoy these beautiful views."
