VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - There is a Latin maxim that addresses the centrality of worship in the life, identity and mission of the Catholic Church; "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi". The phrase in Latin literally means the law of prayer ("the way we worship"), and the law of belief ("what we believe"). It is sometimes written as, "lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi", further deepening the implications of this truth - how we worship reflects what we believe and determines how we will live.
To the Catholic Christian, how we worship not only reveals and guards what we believe but guides us in how we live our Christian faith and fulfill our Christian mission in the world. Liturgical Worship is not an "add on". It is the foundation of Catholic identity; expressing our highest purpose. Worship reveals what we truly believe and how we view ourselves in relationship to God, one another and the world into which we are sent to carry forward the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ.
Sadly, what may have begun as a sincere effort to simplify - itself an invitation into beauty when properly achieved - often devolved into a form of liturgical minimalism. The liturgical minimalism I speak of begins when you enter what is sometimes called the "worship space" of some contemporary Catholic Church buildings. There are too often very few symbols. There are few if any icons or images reflecting the heavenly touching the earth, drawing the worshipper into a transcendent encounter with the God who we receive in the Most Holy Eucharist and in whom we are invited to live and move and have our being.
I am not a "traditionalist" Catholic, although I understand and respect those who are. I am just a Christian who chooses to live my faith in its fullness, as a Catholic. I love the Tradition, with a capital "T". I am a "revert", drawn back to that fullness of Christianity that is dynamic, orthodox, faithful Catholic life and practice. I have respect for my brethren who are Protestants in each of their various confessions and communities. However, I am not one, by choice. I do not want a Protestant looking church building or a stripped down Catholicism whose worship seems more protestant than Catholic. I do not want barren liturgy and symbol-less Catholicism.
Over the last two decades, some who purported to be liturgical experts too often stripped away the richness and the depth that draws so many to the treasure that is Catholic worship and life. Their numbers and influence are dwindling. The Catholic seminaries that are full (and their number is increasing) are filled with candidates who want the vibrant, symbolic, faithful, richly liturgical, devout fullness of Catholic faith and life. The movement toward dynamic, symbolic and beautiful Liturgy is not about going "backward" but forward and toward eternal worship. The symbols are coming back into our sanctuaries and new ones are emerging.
There was a movement called Iconoclasm ("Image-breaking") in the eighth and ninth centuries in the Eastern Church. It became a full scale heresy. The term has come to be associated with those who rejected icons, but it speaks to a contemporary problem, liturgical minimalism and the loss of the sense of the Sacred in our Churches. Icons are meant to put us in touch with the transcendent mysteries of our faith.
There are some who think that the symbols of our worship, our faith and our life are a problem. While they strip our sanctuaries and make our liturgical experiences barren, they think they have helped us by somehow making the faith more 'relevant", "meaningful" or "contemporary". They are sadly mistaken and have done the Church and her mission a disservice.
They fail to grasp that, by nature and grace, human persons are symbolic. Man (and woman) is created in the image of God, and is a divine icon. Jesus Christ is the Icon of the Father. Symbols touch us at a much deeper level than words or emotive or affective participation can. They touch us at the level where authentic religion and deep worship truly begins. It is there where we hunger the most for God.
On April 15, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI addressed the Bishops of Brazil in Rome. Toward the end of his remarks he summarized the heart of good Liturgy, "Worship cannot come from our imagination: that would be a cry in the darkness or mere self-affirmation. True liturgy supposes that God responds and shows us how we can adore Him. The Church lives in His presence - and its reason for being and existing is to expand His presence in the world."
Pope Benedict XVI is one of the great liturgists of our age. His seminal book, The Spirit of the Liturgy, written when he was still Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, is required reading in most seminaries and should be read by every Catholic. His recent Wednesday Catechesis continues his profound insights. We present it below:
Pope Benedict XVI's Wednesday Catechesis 9/26/12
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In recent months we have made a journey in the light of the Word of God, to learn to pray in a more authentic way by looking at some great figures in the Old Testament, the Psalms, the Letters of St. Paul and the Book of Revelation, but also looking at unique and fundamental experience of Jesus in his relationship with the Heavenly Father. In fact, only in Christ, is man enabled to unite himself to God with the depth and intimacy of a child before a father who loves him, only in Him can we turn in all truth to God and lovingly call Him "Abba! ! Father. " Like the Apostles, we too have repeated and we still repeat to Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Lk 11:1).
In addition, in order to live our personal relationship with God more intensely, we have learned to invoke the Holy Spirit, the first gift of the Risen Christ to believers, because it is he who "comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought,"(Romans 8:26).
At this point we can ask: how can I allow myself to be formed by the Holy Spirit? What is the school in which he teaches me to pray and helps me in my difficulties to turn to God in the right way? The first school of prayer which we have covered in the last few weeks is the Word of God, Sacred Scripture, in permanent dialogue between God and man, an ongoing dialogue in which God reveals Himself ever closer to us. We can better familiarize ourselves with his face, his voice, his being and the man learns to accept and to know God, to talk to God. So in recent weeks, reading Sacred Scripture, we looked for this ongoing dialogue in Scripture to learn how we can enter into contact with God.
There is another precious "space", another valuable "source" to grow in prayer, a source of living water in close relation with the previous one. I refer to the liturgy, which is a privileged area in which God speaks to each of us, here and now, and awaits our response. What is the liturgy? If we open the Catechism of the Catholic Church - an always valuable and indispensable aid especially in the Year of Faith, which is about to begin - we read that originally the word "liturgy" means " service in the name of/on behalf of the people" (No. 1069) .
If Christian theology took this word from the Greek world, it did so obviously thinking of the new People of God born from Christ opened his arms on the Cross to unite people in the peace of the one God. "service on behalf of the people " a people that does not exist by itself, but that has been formed through the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ. In fact, the People of God does not exist through ties of blood, territory or nation, but is always born from the work of the Son of God and communion with the Father that He obtains for us.
The Catechism also states that "in Christian tradition (the word" liturgy ") means the participation of the People of God in "the work of God" because the people of God, as such, exists only through the action of God. The very development of the Second Vatican Council reminds us of this. It began its work, fifty years ago, with the discussion of the draft on the Sacred Liturgy, solemnly approved on December 4, 1963, the first text approved by the Council. The fact that document on the liturgy was the first result of the conciliar assembly was perhaps considered by some a chance occurrence.
Among the many projects, the text on the sacred liturgy seemed to be the least controversial, and, for this reason, seen as an exercise in the methodology of conciliar work. But without a doubt, what at first glance seemed a chance occurrence, proved to be the right choice, starting from the hierarchy of themes and most important tasks of the Church. By beginning, with the theme of "liturgy" the primacy of God, his absolute priority was clearly brought to light. God before all things: the Council's choice of starting from the liturgy tells us precisely this. Where God's gaze is not decisive, everything else loses its direction. The basic criterion for the liturgy is its orientation to God, so that we can share in His work.
But we may ask: what is this work of God that we are called to participate in? The answer offered us by Conciliar Constitution on the sacred liturgy is apparently double. At number 5 it tells us, in fact, that the works of God are His historical actions that bring us salvation, culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; but in number 7, the Constitution defines the celebration of the liturgy as "the work of Christ. " In reality, the two meanings are inseparably linked. If we ask ourselves who saves the world and man, the only answer is Jesus of Nazareth, Lord and Christ, Crucified and Risen.
And where does the Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Christ, that brings salvation it becomes present and real for us, for me today? The answer is the action of Christ through the Church, in the liturgy, especially in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, which makes real and present this sacrificial offering of the Son of God, who has redeemed us, in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, through which we pass from the death of sin to new life, and in the other sacramental acts that sanctify us (cf. PO 5). Thus, the Paschal Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Christ is the centre of liturgical theology of the Council.
Let's take a step further and ask ourselves: how is this re-enactment of the Paschal Mystery of Christ made possible? Blessed John Paul II, 25 years after the Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, wrote: "In order to reenact his Paschal Mystery, Christ is ever present in his Church, especially in liturgical celebrations. (27). Hence the Liturgy is the privileged place for the encounter of Christians with God and the one whom he has sent, Jesus Christ (cf Jn 17:3). "(Vicesimus quintus annus, n. 7). Along the same lines we read in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: " A sacramental celebration is a meeting of God's children with their Father, in Christ and the Holy Spirit; this meeting takes the form of a dialogue, through actions and words." (n. 1153).
Therefore, the first requirement for a good liturgical celebration is that both prayer and conversation with God, first listening and then answering. St. Benedict, in his "Rule", speaking of the prayer of the Psalms, indicates to the monks: mens concordet voci, "may the mind agrees with the voice." The Saint teaches that the prayer of the Psalms, the words must precede our mind. Usually it does not happen this way, first one has to think and then what we have thought, is converted into speech.
Here, however in the liturgy it is the inverse, the words come first. God gave us the Word and the Sacred Liturgy gives us the words, and we must enter into their meaning, welcome them within us, be in harmony with them. Thus we become children of God, similar to God. As noted in the Sacrosanctum Concilium, to ensure the full effectiveness of the celebration " it is necessary that the faithful come to it with proper dispositions, that their minds should be attuned to their voices, and that they should cooperate with divine grace lest they receive it in vain "(n. 11). The correlation between what we say with our lips and what we carry in our hearts is essential, fundamental, to our dialogue with God in the liturgy.
In this line, I just want to mention one of the moments that, during the liturgy calls us and helps us to find such a correlation, this conforming ourselves to what we hear, say and do in the liturgy. I refer to the invitation the Celebrant formulates before the Eucharistic Prayer: "Sursum corda," we lift up our hearts outside the tangle of our concerns, our desires, our anxieties, our distraction. Our heart, our intimate selves, must open obediently to the Word of God, and gather in the prayer of the Church, to receive its orientation towards God from the words that it hears and says. The heart's gaze must go out to the Lord, who is among us: it is a fundamental requirement.
When we experience the liturgy with this basic attitude, it is as if our heart is freed from the force of gravity, which drags it down, and from within rises upwards, towards truth and love, towards God. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church recalls: " In the sacramental liturgy of the Church, the mission of Christ and of the Holy Spirit proclaims, makes present, and communicates the mystery of salvation, which is continued in the heart that prays. The spiritual writers sometimes compare the heart to an altar. "(No. 2655): altare Dei est cor nostrum.
Dear friends, we celebrate and live the liturgy well only if we remain in an attitude of prayer, united to the Mystery of Christ and his dialogue as the Son with the Father. God Himself teaches us to pray, as St. Paul writes (cf. Rom 8:26). He Himself has given us the right words to hear to Him, words that we find in the Psalter, in the great prayers of the liturgy and in the same Eucharistic celebration. We pray to the Lord to be ever more aware of the fact that the liturgy is the action of God and man; prayer that rises from the Holy Spirit and ourselves, wholly directed to the Father, in union with the Son of God made man (cf. Catechism the Catholic Church, n. 2564).

Cutting boneless skinless chicken breasts into pieces can be a slippery task. Make it safer and prevent the knife from slipping by cutting the chicken while it is partially frozen. The firmer chicken is much easier to cut and handle.
Pasta is available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and forms. Most purchased pasta is dry, but refrigerated (fresh) and frozen pasta are increasingly more available. For dry pasta, look for few broken pieces and even coloring. For fresh and frozen pasta, look for even coloring, no dry spots and properly formed shapes (no spillage of filled pastas). Fresh and frozen pasta will carry a "best buy" date on the package.
This meal, made with lean meat and vegetables, can fit into a healthful eating plan.

Fantastic recipe! The sauce was outstanding. It has a little bit of a kick. I'd say if you don't want so much kick cut down the amount of red pepper flakes but it wasn't overly "hot". Also we forgot to get pea pods so I used regular frozen peas I had and still turned out fantastic. Would definitely make again!
Awesome recipe!! I substituted the Catalina dressing with sesame ginger and I loved it!!
This was my second time making it and I absolutely love it! I used regular peas this last time since I didn't have sugar snap peas, but it was still so good! I might try adding some more veggies the next time I make it. Everyone at work was jealous at lunch when I was heating it up to have for lunch, so the recipe got sent out right away!

From: http://tax.com/taxcom/taxblog.nsf/Permalink/UBEN-8AGMUZ?OpenDocument
"The number of Americans making $50 million or more, the top income category in the data, fell from 131 in 2008 to 74 last year. But that's only part of the story.
The average wage in this top category increased from $91.2 million in 2008 to an astonishing $518.8 million in 2009. That's nearly $10 million in weekly pay!
In the Great Recession year of 2009 (officially just the first half of the year), the average pay of the very highest-income Americans was more than five times their average wages and bonuses in 2008. And even though their numbers shrank by 43 percent, this group's total compensation was 3.2 times larger in 2009 than in 2008, accounting for 0.6 percent of all pay. These 74 people made as much as the 19 million lowest-paid people in America, who constitute one in every eight workers.
What does this all mean? It is the latest, and in this case quite dramatic, evidence that our economic policies in Washington are undermining the nation as a whole.We have created a tax system that changes continually as politicians manipulate it to extract campaign donations. We have enabled ''free trade'' that is nothing of the sort, but rather tax-subsidized mechanisms that encourage American manufacturers to close their domestic factories, fire workers, and then use cheap labor in China for products they send right back to the United States.
The American economy in the three decades before Ronald Reagan's election did not produce a mass audience for celebrating wealth. In that era, books that emphasized character sold better than today.
During the years from 1950 to 1980, the share of total income going to those at the top declined, and the real incomes of the vast majority grew much more quickly than did nearly all incomes at the very top.
In those years, America had the money, and vision, to invest in the future through education, research, and infrastructure.
In nearly three decades of Reaganism, however, we have become a society of mine-here-and-now. Now what we hear from Washington is about today, not tomorrow. War without sacrifice (or a congressional declaration). Savings without interest. More government services while lowering taxes.
In this era, the incomes of the vast majority have barely grown while incomes at the top have soared."
The Republicans were in charge for all of this debacle. Don't believe the lies they tell you now. There is a reason that the Democrats are supported by working people and the republicans are supported by business - because that's who they work for.

A foot in the holiday door jamb ...
The door is closing on holiday ordering, but I must extend a proverbial foot into the jamb and add these new coffees:
El Salvador Finca Kilimanjaro; I was trying to stash this vacuum packed gem for late season, but there has been too much demand. If you know this special coffee from years past, all I can say is it's fantastic once again, many say better than last year.
Colombia "Los Pijaos de Tolima" (3 Star); a blend that we build one tiny lot at a time through ourdirect trade program. Tolimas have been consistently my favorite Colombias in recent harvests
Colombia Organic "Union de Nariño" (3 Star); our first certified organic Farm Gate coffee from Colombia, built from micro-lots in the town of La Union. Both these lots were shipped vacuum packed, and are vibrantly fresh.
Kenya AB Auction Lot #768 -Rukira; Our very last main crop auction lot Kenya until new crop, vivid fruits, and mercifully moderate acidity.
Sumatra Onan Ganjang Cultivar; A specific type of coffee shrub from the Lintong area, this was something I found on my recent trip there. It has a classic cup, intense, brutish, potent ... and is quite different from other Lintong coffees.
Espresso Workshop #1 - The Ophiolite Blend; I am really excited about this blend, and our new espresso approach. We are dividing our blends into "Standards", blends we maintain consistently, and these Espresso Workshop "editions", things I have hammered out in the cupping lab above the offices here at Sweet Maria's. These are lot-specific offerings, meaning that when the particular coffees in the mix are out, the blend "edition" is retired. What's an ophiolite? Ask Wikipedia ... or just read the review to see why I chose a geologic term... Tom

Girls are on the run
FAYETTEVILLE, W.Va. -- When Jenni Fenton first heard about Girls on the Run, "I fell head over heels in love with the way it boosts girls' self-esteem while they train for a 5K. I've got two young daughters. I wanted to make that program happen in Fayetteville."
"Fayetteville's a wonderful outdoor area, but there's not a lot of organized physical activities for grade-school girls after school," she said. "I want girls to have activities other than texting and video games to enjoy. I want them to know they can be proud of themselves for reasons other than being pretty."
It took two years, but she did it. The state's newest Girls on the Run group now meets twice a week at Fayetteville Elementary, coached by Fenton and three other volunteer mothers. "The first session blew us away," she said. "All the coaches were walking on air afterward. Imagine being in a room with 36 young girls who are so excited to be there, they can't stop smiling."
On a recent March afternoon, girls and coaches were still smiling. "I never in my life thought I could run 15 laps," one fourth-grader said, grinning broadly as she stopped for water. "It's so much fun," another said, throwing her hands in the air.
Girls can participate for three years, from third grade through fifth, age 8 through 11. The cost to each girl's family is $25 for 24 sessions, 90 minutes each, over 12 weeks. There are scholarships, so money is not a roadblock for low-income families. "There are no tryouts. It's not competitive," Fenton said. "If you sign up and show up, you're on the team."
The word "fun" comes up again and again. "My girls don't think of it as exercising. They just think of it as fun," said coach Lauren Weatherford, who has two daughters in the program.
More than 120,000 girls in 47 states participate in the nonprofit Girls on the Run program. In North Carolina, for instance, 12,000 girls and 8,000 Virginia girls take part. In West Virginia, almost 600 participated in 2012 in Barbour, Mercer, Monongalia, Pocahontas, Randolph and Tucker counties.
Most West Virginia programs offer 12 weeks in the fall, then another 12 weeks in the spring. "A lot of girls sign up again and again," said Randolph County coach Terry Evans. Mercer County offers a program for middle-school girls.
When Fenton called the national office to say she wanted to start a Fayetteville program, "They said I had to affiliate with a council first." West Virginia has three councils: in Bluefield, Elkins and Morgantown.
Fenton called the Elkins organizer, Evans, and "I pretty much begged her to let us affiliate this year." Evans agreed, so Fenton "scrambled around and found three other mothers to coach with me." Evans trained them to coach, then they handed out applications at Fayetteville Elementary. "We hoped 18 girls would sign up, and we had to cut it off at 36."
Like many counties, Fayette County struggles with child obesity. "What better way to prevent children from being overweight than to help them enjoy being active?" Fenton said. "If they enjoy it, they keep doing it!" Girls of all sizes join, she pointed out, so nobody is singled out. "This is about being healthy, no matter what size you are.
"Kids don't play outside now like they did when I was growing up in Moorefield, so programs like this are even more important," she said. Parents hesitate to just send their kids out to play these days, she said, and kids are often inside watching screens.
At Fayetteville Elementary, the girls get physical education for a half-hour only two or three times a week, she said. "This is a great addition," said P.E. teacher Joe Dean. "The girls are loving it." The school donates the space.
Each session, every girl sets a goal for the number of laps she thinks she can finish that day. The coaches follow a step-by-step curriculum. Girls sit on the floor in a circle at the beginning of each session. Every session has a theme: gossiping, peer pressure, bullying, positive self-talk, cooperation, nutrition. "It's about a whole lot more than running," Evans said.
On that March day, they were talking about gratitude. "Did you ever try to do something nice for somebody, and they didn't appreciate it?" Weatherford asked her circle. Hands shot up. "Show me with your face how that felt inside." The girls made ugly faces, then laughed.
Next, they stretched and did cheers and jumps, played a short team game, then went outside to run for 40 minutes.
Every other lap, each girl stopped and wrote down something she is grateful to have. The program frequently incorporates an activity on the day's theme in with the running, Evans said. When the theme is cooperation, for instance, the girls string a bead on a common string for each lap they complete, then they see how far they ran collectively.
On May 5, the Fayetteville girls will travel to Elkins to join girls from other counties, family members, coaches -- and anyone else -- for their 5K. "They're very excited about it," Fenton said.
The 12-week program costs about $65 a girl for the 5K, snacks, T-shirt and water bottle. The $25 fee does not cover it, so they have to raise money every year, so far from local businesses. Programs can charge families what they want, Evans said, "and in other states, some charge more than $100, but we wanted to keep it affordable here."
Some states hire fundraisers. In Vermont, Blue Cross/Blue Shield is a regular supporter, for instance. Private individuals sponsor individual girls. At this point in West Virginia, Evans said, nobody has time to recruit solid funding because most of West Virginia's volunteer coaches have full-time jobs. "We could get there if we could talk with the right people and make the right connections," Evans said.
Meanwhile, in Fayette County, Fenton said, "parents are calling us from other towns, asking if they can drive their girls to Fayetteville to join us." She recently talked with an Oak Hill woman who wants to start a group there. "There's a lot of enthusiasm."
Tony Canada, who runs after-school programs for the New River Health Association in two other Fayette County towns, said, "This sounds great. Maybe there's some way we can all coordinate."
Shannon Atwell, who organizes the Mercer County group, said she recently got a similar call from a Charleston mother who wants to organize a group. "It's probably time for all of us to find a way to work together," she said. "We need to find ways to sustain it and offer it to a lot more girls."
Find or start a Girls on the Run program
More than 120,000 girls in 47 states and Canada participated in Girls on the Run in 2012. In West Virginia, 587 girls and 269 volunteer adults took part. "We're just getting started, compared to other states," said Elkins coach Terry Evans.
Expenses run about $65 a girl for snacks, water bottles, T-shirts, 5K runs. The local group and council work this out together.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Tuesday, a D.C. man was sentenced to 120 days in jail for killing a six-month-old puppy in June.
Twenty-four-year-old Sean Delontay Branch pleaded guilty in September to a charge of felony cruelty to animals.
Branch killed the puppy, named King Tut, because he was mad at its owner, say officials. On June 29, King Tut was tied to a fence behind a store in the 1200 block of Mount Olivet Road NE in D.C. and its owner had walked away. Branch then went up to the dog, which was sleeping, and dropped a 90 pound cement slab on it.
King Tut's owner was notified by a witness about what happened to his dog. The owner discovered the dog was dead when he went to the location.
Branch will be placed on three years of supervised release after his jail time. He will also have to pay $450 to a crime victims' fund and meet certain conditions, such as learning how to handle his anger.

MOUNDSVILLE - St. John Central coach Jason Merryman will look across the field Saturday night at Bishop Donahue and see exactly what he is trying to build with the Fighting Irish.
It wasn't that long ago when numbers where down at Bishop Donahue and the Bishops were looked upon as an easy victory. Now they are a perennial playoff team.
''They are winning on a consistent basis and they expect to win now,'' Merryman said. ''That is what we are trying to imitate here. We come from the same mold with being two Catholic schools with small numbers.''

St. John's Devon Hennesy
Bishop Donahue's Saquan Hill
A victory at Monarch Field would go a long way for a team that has already surprised many with a 2-1 start that could easily be 3-0 with a couple bounces the other way.
''We are gaining confidence but we still have to cut down on the penalties,'' Merryman said. ''We had 12 penalties for 135 yards (in last week's victory vs. Paden City) and those are the mental mistakes that you can't have and expect to beat a team like Bishop Donahue.
''We know what a win would do for our program against a great team like Bishop Donahue.''
The Fighting Irish used the hot hand of Nick Cervelli, who rushed 10 times for 106 yards against Paden City. Devon Hennessy had three carries for 53 yards and two scores, while quarterback D.J. Shoemaker also scored twice.
But while Bishop Donahue coach John Durdines applauds the hard work the St. John players have shown, don't expect the veteran coach to be doing too much patting on the back. He expects his team to come out and do what they do in trying to win this week.
Last week the Bishops bounced back from a loss to Clay-Battelle to pound Beallsville.
Jordan Bonar had 20 carries for 97 yards and a touchdown, while also catching all four of quarterback Jesse Padlow's completions for 96 yards and two touchdowns. His backmate, Saquan Hill, rushed 20 times for 124 yards and two scores.
''I thought we came out a little more focused,'' Durdines said. ''We shot ourselves in the foot against Clay-Battelle and we wanted to be more shaper. I loved the intensity we showed by matching Beallsville's intensity.
''(Bonar and Hill) are two seniors that have been through the good times the past few years and now it's their turn to shine. They certainly play off each other.''
Durdines raved about the unselfishness. During a drive against the Blue Devils, Hill drove the team down the field but when it was time to get a breather and switch backs, Bonar felt it was Hill that did most of the work and he deserved to finish the drive and score.
The two-headed monster will likely be a major part of the plan in trying to improve to 3-1.
''St. John is an improved team with the addition of some really good ballplayers,'' Durdines said. ''They have made great strides and that comes with the effort they have always given.
''They are starting to do things well and its nice to see them pick up some wins. We have never taken them lightly and we don't expect to this week. They are as good as any team we've faced and we have a lot of respect for them.''

2007 Annual Meeting
|18th Annual ASIS&T SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop
Full Day Seminar, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2007, 8:30am-5:00pm (separate fee)
This year's workshop will focus on the enduring aspects of classification/subject analysis and the presence of those aspects in
commonly used methods, especially those we encounter in our daily lives.
The format will provide for a few detailed research talks as well structured discussions, poster presentations and informal chats. Researchers, practitioners, and students interested in classification, both traditional and more current methods, are encouraged to participate.
Current classification practice has deep roots within Western philosophy, for example, the duality of hierarchy prevalent in the Dewey Decimal Classification and the Library of Congress Subject Headings. It is important to be aware of the historical influences within current practice so as not to let them impede efforts to meaningfully organize information in the ongoing complexity of our multifaceted, hybrid environments.
In contrast to the above mentioned organizational tools we have social tagging with its seemingly unrestrained expression of semantic variants and flat tag relationships. However, the research shows, social tagging is not wholly an unruly mob. There are hidden structures and patterns associated with these tags that inform classification practice.
Concurrent to social tagging there is an ever increasing availability of digital images and demand for image search capabilities which has heightened the need for refinements of visual content organization methods, including the classification of visual descriptors. Indexing visual content continues to provide interesting challenges and opportunities.
The workshop's format is patterned after the successful '06 workshop. It will run from 8:30 until 4:45 with a box lunch and snacks provided. The day will begin with a link/follow-up on one or two key papers/posters presented in '06. We will have a keynote speaker and one or two panels. One-minute madness, introducing the posters, will be followed by a chance to browse the posters followed by a lively panel discussion of the posters. The day will end with a projection of future directions and a summation of the workshops "big ideas".
Workshop chair:
Joan Lussky (firstname.lastname@example.com) Assistant Professor, School of Library and Information Science The Catholic University of America, Washington. D.C.
Members $105, non-members $120, before Sept. 14

52 Library Card Uses
Check out the Young Adult selection for teen readers. Number 37 in a series of uses for your library card.
Your Great River Regional Library staff have separated the young adult (YA) books into their own section, so they are easy to find. The library spine label for the young adult books begins with YA. What could be easier?
YA fiction is written to appeal to readers from about 12 to 20 years old. It usually has a teenage protagonist and deals with problems most teens can identify with. Classic examples include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Some commentators say the modern YA novel began in 1967 with The Outsiders, a gritty story about street gangs. Since then, YA authors have found ways to place their characters in all the settings of adult fiction: mysteries, science fiction, westerns, fantasy, etc. Some of the bestselling books of all time are modern YA books, including the Harry Potter series and the Twilight series.
If you're part of the YA target audience (and even if you're not) browse the YA section when you're at the library. You'll see some of the most interesting fiction published today.

Dan Fink Metalworks Shop TourWritten by Mike Finnegan on September 1, 2010
You can't throw a Crescent wrench in Orange County, California, without hitting at least two fab shops, so it's easy to hop in the car and visit a bunch of gearhead facilities in just one afternoon. Our most recent search for new project cars sent us to Huntington Beach, a city overrun with automotive customizers. Surf City is the home of Dan Fink Metalworks (DFM) a company specializing in building uncommon cars for discriminating clients. John West and the crew were hard at work on several cool customs when we arrived, including a Rolls Royce, a Willys, and a Ranchero.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
This '74 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow still looks familiar thanks to the subtly executed body mods and a drivetrain that begs to be abused. A custom chassis houses C4 Vette front and rear suspensions and this hot rod now rolls on 20s, with SSBC disc brakes providing the stopping power.An LS7, complete with the dry sump oiling system, and backed by a 4L80E AOD trans, resides between the custom framerails of the Rolls. DFM fabricated the mounts and accessories like the aluminum radiator overflow tank and air intake.A shorter dash was a necessity after the roof was chopped 5 1/2-inches. The top panel is removable for easy access to the wiring.The chop was executed so cleanly that the car looks like it should have come from the factory this way. The doors no longer have exterior handles thanks to another date with the MIG welder.This Willys was in the shop for some updating. A smooth firewall was removed and replaced with a stock one, which necessitated the relocation of the engine and trans four-inches further forward in the chassis. This required moving the radiator forward as well, but the shop took that opportunity to make the radiator slip out from the bottom of the chassis without removing the body panels for easy maintenance. The trans tunnel and floor were reworked and the A/C was also hidden under the dashboard. New Wilwood brakes were added to the suspension, as were a new set of seats to make long trips more comfortable. It will receive a set of Halibrands before it hits the highway again.Buried in the corner of the shop behind another Ranchero is this one-owner '71 model. A long-term project, the shop modified this unibody car/truck heavily for the power under the hood. 18x11 and 17x9 Budnik wheels tuck under the fenders with 285/50R18 and 235/55R17 tires respectively.This is just the mock up engine. A legit Boss 429 waits in the wings for the car to be completed. To clear the monster valve covers, the Wilwood brake booster was moved all the way in front of the shock tower so that the valvetrain could be maintained with ease. Small access panels keep the engine bay tidy.
Out back, a custom subframe, a bolt-in rollcage, and subframe connectors stiffen up the chassis of the Ranchero. A Fab9 rearend housing swings on a four-link with rod ends instead of bushings.This is a Carterham Super Seven. The lightweight roadster runs four-banger Cosworth power and it's in the shop to have an external rollcage built to NASA specs so that the owner can flog it harder at open-track days.It sits on a custom box frame with an 8-inch rearend located by a triangulated four-link. The front suspension is an IFS arrangement from TCI.The Prefect will run small-block power under the hood and a 700R4 trans below the fabricated tunnel and floor.John's daily driver, actually it's his only car, which is why it's not finished, is a '32 Ford B400. The chassis was built in-house from stamped rails and tubular crossmembers.
9-inch hangs with 12-inch discs and JFZ calipers from the four-link. The front suspension is an I-beam arrangement with rack-and-pinion steering mounted on the axle and 13-inch brakes with JFZ calipers.

Prestressed Bolts in a Tube Connection
Application ID: 185
A tube connection consisting of a flange with four pre-stressed bolts is subjected to tensile forces.
Two contact regions are modeled: one between the bottom surface of the flange and the top surface of an additional fixed solid, and the other between the washer under the bolt head and the flange. In order to compute the influence of the tensile force on the stress level in the bolt, a parametric analysis is done.
This model requires both the Structural Mechanics Module and the CAD Import Module.

What to Know About Surgery for Thymus Cancer
Surgery is the most common treatment for thymus cancer. Sometimes, doctors use surgery to diagnose cancer instead of taking tissue samples for a biopsy. During surgery, the surgeon usually removes the tumor and some surrounding tissue. He or she also removes your whole thymus through a cut in your breastbone. This surgery is called a sternotomy. The surgeon may enter the chest from the sides instead. If the tumor is small, he or she can go between the ribs and use a small video camera as a guide in removing the tumor.
Your best chance for being cured of thymus cancer is if the entire tumor can be removed surgically. Some doctors believe that there is some benefit in removing only part of the tumor, even if the whole tumor cannot be removed. Others, however, will not recommend surgery in these cases, and will instead suggest other therapies, such as radiation and chemotherapy.
Potential side effects from surgery for thymus cancer
After surgery, you may have pain in the area operated on. Some discomfort is normal after surgery. It will not last long and usually can be eased with medication. With a sternotomy, which is when the surgeon opens the chest wall, there is a low risk of infection. More serious side effects can include pneumonia and excessive bleeding. Before surgery for thymus cancer, discuss other risks with your surgeon.

WASHINGTON, DC (CBS)-- Now that there's been time to digest the "fiscal cliff" deal that passed Congress, it turns out that negotiators didn't just help out individuals, families, the unemployed, doctors and milk consumers. Tucked into the 150-plus page bill are several tax perks for businesses - businesses you probably didn't even know needed tax perks.
To be clear, these are renewals of existing tax breaks that were set to expire, so they weren't plucked out of thin air during negotiations over the weekend. However, the fact that they were included in a bill that was the result of such acrimonious debate got the attention of some House members who were against the deal.

The Adjustment Bureau Synopsis
Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else.

David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself--the men of The Adjustment Bureau--who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together.

Apologies in advance if this is not the proper forum for this question; please direct me elsewhere if this is the case.
I have been tasked with updating the theme of our ZCS 8.0.0 instance. I have been following the instructions from the manual :
- In the Zimbra Administration web interface, I have navigated to Domains > [our domain] > Themes
- I have changed the foreground, background, secondary and selection colors and Saved
- I have also changed the Application Logo banner URL to a custom image
- When prompted, I have flushed the theme cache
However, none of the changes are displayed.
The documentation is unclear; the system gives an opportunity to change the colors of the 4 items above - but what theme are these changes being applied to? All of them? The end user currently has a choice between 18 themes (Bare, Beach, Bones, etc) - what exactly do the color changes I make in the Zimbra Administration interface for our domain change, and how do I see my changes?

I think its case of finding a dealer/mechanic you can trust and hang onto them. Advertise them to your friends and keep them in business. Its just a pity they seem so few and far between.
Did you buy a new bike? Why the extended warranty when you get 2 years anyway....?
Ah! We get two years and unlimited mileage here in the states.
And your warranty should be honored at any dealer, though the next one may be much farther away.Scott

Hey Captain, I moved your thread in the WIP section which seems to be the proper one here
Greetings Guild,
I have been in love with the world of cartography ever since I started playing Dungeons&Dragons back in 2001. I have created many worlds and maps sense then, and I will admit, most of the maps were rushed and poorly planned out.
I had struggled with world building for a long time and used random generators for everything. The process of creating everything by random, removed the human from the decisions and detached me from the process to the point were it became boring.
So I have decided to create a world from Day 1. I will start with a handful of small tribes throughout the map, and go year by year, with their expansion.
I will roll out certain things, such as wars, rebellions, travels, building etc.
I believe this way will give me a fully flushed out world, with no blank spaces left.
I hope this will remove the "improv" out of world descriptions and history, and will provide the player a much more complete environment to interact with.
The things I will take into consideration while building the world (in no specific order) :
Population growth
Natural Disasters
Wild Life
Road systems
Travel techniques
Value of Goods
Political Systems
Eventually I will flush it out down to each individual building and maybe person (at the LEAST important people)
So this map is the starting point. I couldn't have created it without the fantastic collection of tutorials this website has provided.
The rivers will be fixed before I begin this project. I just wanted to get this first post created, as to let the community know what I will be working on.
Also feel free to comment on the starting map itself. I know it isn't perfect, and my feelings won't be hurt if you voice your opinions.
The reason I am making this a post:
1. I hope to be more active in the community and hopefully this project will gain some interest.
2. I would be interested to hear feedback from the community as to the idea itself, and thoughts as the project develops.
3. I wanted an online record of the process.
I would love to hear any and all ideas and feedback!
Thanks community!
Capt. JH
Hey Captain, I moved your thread in the WIP section which seems to be the proper one here
Hello! I was wondering if I could get permission to use your map for my NationStates country, as the map of the country. Is that okay?

An article was posted in USA today featuring an interview with Dan Houser. In it he talks about The Ballad Of Gay Tony. There are a few snippets of information we haven't heard before, including details of one mission which involves picking up a subway car with a Skyhook helicopter for a collector of rare items.
There's a new screenshot included with the article too, showing Luis Lopez walking along the top of, presumably, the train which he ends up "stealing".
Read the article at USA Today.
As if we need to remind you again, but the first trailer is released in about 7 hours time, so make sure you're fixed on GTA4.TV for all of the new details.

sounds fun... lol, houser says he wanted to get in touch with his inner "michael bay" ...
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Listen Up April 2011

A couple of months ago I blogged about my girlhood musical heroes Duran Duran. Well, much to my delight I find that they are still making music. Their newest release is titled All You Need Is Now. I'm pleased to say that they have managed to keep their signature sound without sounding dated. Diehard fans will not be disappointed with this new album. It's all here, the quirky lyrics, Simon Le Bon's vocals are still strong, and John Taylor's signature bass lines are present.
"Safe (In The Heat Of The Moment)" is a great disco-funk track, listen for the cowbell! Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters is featured on vocals and rap that is very reminiscent of 80's Blondie. Check out a live performance from this year's Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
The tracks "Girl Panic!" and "Runway Runaway" are almost throwbacks to the good ol' days when Duran Duran were experiencing their heyday back in the '80s. I read somewhere that the band is touting this album as the Son of Rio. I can't say that I agree . . .more like the cousin of Rio. (For those of you who don't know, Rio is Duran Duran's second and probably most well known album.)
Author Bio:
Evie D. is a Durannie at heart. She got to be a giddy 15 year-old all over again when she was lucky enough to see Duran Duran perform before a sold out crowd at the Fillmore earlier this month.

text: i just watched Jermaine Wiggins go over Seattles final TD pass and i have a few things to say on it. First of all I watched the play in a bar and was in no mood to watch ESPN highlights later and i have not seen the play since then (once was enough). It is clear now though that I owe an apology to Nate Ebner. Apparently he played his coverage perfectly on this play and was unlucky that Tavon Wilson was so bad on the play that Ebner had the misfortune to be seen chasing Sidney Rice into the endzone on TV as if he was part of the monumental screw up. Ten guys do their job, one screws up mightily (Wilson) and everyone else looks like a complete bum. Sorry Nate.

3 Reasons Why You're Not Buying an Electric Car
The electric car has arrived, but odds are that there isn't one in your driveway. Several factors have gotten in the way of the eco-friendly automotive revolution, but at least now we can ask conspiracy theorists -- who argue that oil companies and the government are blocking plug-in cars from the road -- to leave the room and take their tinfoil hats with them. The electric car is here; drivers simply don't want them yet.

THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, Aug. 23, 2012
Jim Saunders, The News Service of Florida
Siding with two teachers and a union, a state judge found Wednesday that Florida education officials did not properly carry out part of a 2011 law that has fueled a long-running controversy about linking teacher performance and pay.
Administrative Law Judge John Van Laningham, in a 57-page order, rejected a state-approved rule that would spell out how school districts should evaluate teachers, declaring it "wholly invalid" because of flaws in the way it was pieced together.
"Material procedural flaws, such as those described in this final order, taint the resulting rule in its entirety and cannot be cured without starting over and redoing the process,'' Van Laningham wrote.
The order deals with the somewhat-arcane process of state agencies, such as the Department of Education, adopting rules to carry out the details of broader legislation. Van Laningham did not reject the underlying law, only the rule that included requirements for how school districts should measure teacher performance.
Andy Ford, president of the Florida Education Association teachers union, issued a statement after Van Laningham's ruling, calling it a "huge victory in our battle for fair, reliable and valid evaluations."
"It's time for the state's education bureaucracy to stop trying to impose its will on teachers and administrators and start having a meaningful dialogue with us to put together a fair evaluation system that is understandable, valid and accepted,'' Ford said.
The FEA, Okaloosa County teacher Karen Peek and Indian River County teacher Beth Weatherstone filed the challenge March 30, after the state Board of Education signed off on the rule.
The challenge is part of a bigger fight about the Republican-controlled Legislature's move last year to use student test scores and other criteria to evaluate teacher performance and link it to pay.
The law, dubbed the "Student Success Act," gave the Department of Education the role of approving and monitoring evaluation systems that districts use. It also included criteria that will lead, in part, to teacher performance being tagged as highly effective; effective; "needs improvement;" or unsatisfactory.
Many teachers and the FEA unsuccessfully argued against passage of the law. The union also has helped spearhead a constitutional challenge to the law in Leon County Circuit Court. That lawsuit is pending.
Anthony Demma, an attorney for the teachers and union in the rule case, said school districts have already put in place teacher-evaluation processes as part of the federal Race to the Top program.
Demma said he thinks that with Van Laningham's order, those teacher-evaluation standards will remain in place this school year. He said it likely would be difficult to revise the invalidated rule and move forward with new requirements during the course of the year.
Cheryl Etters, a spokeswoman for the Department of Education, said in an e-mail that the agency was reviewing the order.
Van Laningham focused heavily on how the department strung together the rule. State law requires proposed rules to be published. But Van Laningham found the department did not properly incorporate some key teacher-evaluation requirements in the published information about the rule, instead linking to material on the department's website.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)- - An administrative law judge says a Florida teacher evaluation rule is invalid.
Judge John Van Landingham on Wednesday in Tallahassee found the State Board of Education and Florida Department of Education failed to follow rulemaking procedures.
The Florida Education Association challenged the rule designed to implement evaluation criteria required by a new state law passed last year. The FEA is Florida's statewide teachers union.
State education officials must begin the rulemaking process from scratch or they can ask the 1st District Court of Appeal to overrule Van Landingham.
Union officials say the decision does not invalidate other evaluation systems approved by the state in connection with a $700 million federal Race to the Top grant.
It also does not erase evaluation requirements in the new law but will delay them.
Tallahassee, Florida- August 22, 2012
An administrative law judge today invalidated in its entirety the rule the State Board of Education had sought to impose upon Florida school districts, teachers and administrators regarding performance evaluations under the law passed last year requiring evaluations to be based in large part upon standardized test scores.
In the challenge brought by the Florida Education Association, Judge John G. Van Laningham found, among other things, that the State Board of Education and Department of Education had not followed proper procedures in trying to incorporate into the evaluation process a mathematical formula for calculating the effect of FCAT scores on teacher evaluations.
The judge concluded that the state's numerous failures to follow correct rulemaking procedures were so significant as to "taint" the resulting rule, and that the flaws "cannot be cured without starting over and redoing the process."
"This is a huge victory in our battle for fair, reliable and valid evaluations," said FEA President Andy Ford. "The State Board of Education and the Department of Education skirted rule-making procedures and exceeded the scope of their authority. It's time for the state's education bureaucracy to stop trying to impose its will on teachers and administrators and start having a meaningful dialogue with us to put together a fair evaluation system that is understandable, valid and accepted."
This decision does not mean that teachers' 2011-12 performance evaluations are invalid under the bargained evaluation systems already approved by the DOE for Race to the Top purposes, nor does it erase the statutory requirement to rely upon the education commissioner's approved model to measure student learning gains as part of the 2011-12 evaluation process. It does mean that none of the proposed, mandatory 2012-2013 evaluation system changes will become effective at this time.
The state can appeal this order to a District Court of Appeal within the next 30 days, but the proposed rule will remain unenforceable while that appeal proceeds. The DOE also can begin a new rulemaking process and attempt to correct the problems found by the judge.
The evaluation system rule was challenged by FEA in March and the case was heard by Van Laningham on May 30 in Tallahassee.
