Mike Sweeney rounded third base many times during his career as a Major League Baseball All-Star, but on his faith journey, he's also come home to a deeper understanding of his Catholic faith. Now retired from the major leagues, he continues to grow in his faith as he shares his love for Christ and baseball with hundreds of young people at the Catholic Baseball Camps he started in 2012.
During the three-day camps in the San Diego, Seattle and Kansas City areas, boys and girls ages 8-16 and their parents, as well as coaches and priests who serve the kids, are inspired by the prayerful Catholic focus on and off the diamond with the sacraments, praying the Rosary, testimonies, spiritual direction and teachings.
"Our mission statement or motto for the camp is 'Using the greatest game ever played to tell the greatest story ever told,'" Sweeney said. "We want to use baseball to share the Gospel. Thanks be to God, we're doing a great job of that."
During his 16 years as a major-league first baseman and catcher, Sweeney heard a lot of criticism of Catholicism from those who tried to convince him to leave the Church. As he considered leaving, he decided to research the Faith first. Reading Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other sources strengthened his Catholic faith and inspired him to start the camps.
"Through these camps, God's really revealed to me that there is beauty, truth and 2,000 years of history in the Catholic Church," he said. "I've always been proud to be a Christian, but these camps have really made me proud to be a Catholic."
From 2001-06 while playing for the Kansas City Royals, Sweeney ran baseball camps in the Kansas City area with a Christian — but not Catholic — focus.
Non-Catholic friends told him no one would come to a Catholic camp. Nonetheless, he said, "God put this beautiful vision on my heart and my mind and gave me the strength to fulfill it."
Sweeney organized the first Catholic Baseball Camp in San Diego in 2012, the year after he closed out a major-league career that saw him hit 215 home runs and make five All-Star game appearances. With the success of the San Diego camp — which is sold out and will be held June 30-July 2 — Sweeney has added July camps in Shawnee, Kansas, and Kent, Washington.
Each day of camp starts with Mass. Between drills, skills clinics and scrimmages, campers listen to coaches' testimonies. They end the day by praying the Rosary on rosaries with baseball-shaped beads, and many go to confession.
The camps have drawn families from around the country. "The response and the way it's grown so quickly, I think, surprised us all," said Mark Loretta, a two-time All-Star who retired after playing 15 seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers and four other teams, and who is in his third season as a coach at the San Diego camp. More than 150 kids come to each camp to improve their baseball skills and meet their heroes — active and retired pro baseball and football players such as Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, former Padres closer Trevor Hoffman, Hall-of-Famer George Brett and current Seattle Mariners ace and Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez.
Almost a third of the campers are Protestant, Sweeney said. "Not only is it impacting Catholics, it's impacting kids that are Jewish, Muslim, coaches, grandparents, great grandparents."
Kids come because they love the game, not always to practice the Faith, but there is an opportunity to pray that many take advantage of, said Father Martin Latiff, a member of the Miles Christi order who has served at all the San Diego camps.
"They just saw the witness of so many other boys embracing the Faith," Father Martin said. "The camp reaches out to each one of the boys wherever they are at, really." Founded in Argentina, Miles Christi priests and brothers are devoted to the sanctification of the laity.
God is working with each of the kids, he said. "After the boys come to the camp, they see there's such a powerful connection with Christ," Father Latiff said. "We see him in the Eucharist or when we come to confession that they come out from the camp with great desires to participate in the Eucharist more frequently, pray more often, go to confession and develop a deeper dealing and friendship with Christ."
In addition to being spiritual guides, Father Martin and other Miles Christi priests play baseball with the kids and often connect sports and faith in their homilies.
Though they may come for baseball, some of the kids say the highlight of the camp was going to confession on second base or praying the Rosary, Sweeney said.
"There have been many cases of both parents and children who have come closer to Christ, deepened their relationship with our Lord and also come closer to their practice of the Faith and the sacraments," Father Martin said. "The camp helps them reinvigorate their love for Christ and the Blessed Mother, the saints, the Church and those who maybe have not been exposed before to the Faith."
Along with the youth and their families, the coaches and spiritual directors are impacted by the camp, Sweeney said.
Loretta said Catholic Baseball Camp has helped him be more open about his Catholic faith and share it in different ways. "In some ways, it's helped me come out of my shell a little bit in regard to talking about faith." Receiving spiritual direction at the camp has helped his faith, he said.
Serving youth at the camp enables Father Martin to be God's instrument in their lives, but also has benefited him spiritually, he said.
"When we serve others, particularly through the offering of Mass, the sacraments, spiritual direction and any way we can help others become closer to Christ, we always get affirmed and encouraged in our own faith and apostolate," Father Martin said.
Teaching kids about faith and baseball has made Sweeney bolder and prouder of his Catholic faith, he said.
"I realize I do have a personal friendship with Jesus, and I'm also an example to these kids," said Sweeney, a father of five. "It's really given me a great responsibility to live out my faith. Going to daily Mass, praying the Rosary with my family every evening and making sure I'm living out my faith."

Art students learn and connect beyond the classroom with peers and faculty through exhibition openings, lectures, and collaborative projects.
The Senior Art Exhibition opening draws a crowd of hundreds to the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. Weekly exhibitions at the Student Gallery showcase current work in all studio classes. The Roger W. Rogers Gallery offers further access to art viewing through exhibitions of professional artists' work.
Students gain deeper understanding of art practice through artists' lectures including the Hogue-Sponenburgh Lecture Series that brings a distinguished lecturer to campus annually. Additional visiting artist's lectures and all-department field trips to the Portland Art Museum connect students with contemporary art, peers, and faculty.
Student learning is supported and enriched by a variety of internships, scholarships and grant-funded summer projects. These include departmental scholarships and awards, internships at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and grant programs that offer unique opportunities to connect and collaborate with faculty on intensive summer projects. These include the Carson Undergraduate Research Grant, the LARC grant (Liberal Arts Research Collaborative in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences) and the Learning by Creating grant. These grant programs promote student and faculty collaboration and immerse students in intensive studio work.

Horrorfest '07: Nightmare Man (US - DVD R1)
Gabe's nightmare is scrapping the bottom of the Horrorfest '07 barrel...
While travelling to a mental clinic for an elongated stay Ellen's husband forgets to fill the tank. The couple runs out of gas on an abandoned strip of forest road. Husband takes a walk to find a station and Ellen's psychological fears are manifested in the form of a masked killer, the Nightmare Man, who may or may not exist. The Nightmare Man chases Ellen into the forest where she meets up with a pair of couples playing sexual truth or dare in a cabin. The Nightmare Man then starts picking off his victims.
I knew I wasn't in for a quality film experience the second I stuck Nightmare Man in the player and watched the video popcorn credit sequence play out to an awkwardly punctuated and very lumpy score. Then I noticed the flat compositions, the kind you thought died out with the VHS camcorder. Then the acting swatted me in the face like an oily Koosh Ball. It's amateur hour in my living room, and I'm in control of the gong (or in this case, the player's stop button).
But we all know that bad acting doesn't necessarily sink a low budget horror film, especially if the cast has big breasts and is willing to show them to us early on. I also can't feel too good about myself teasing amateur actors. The dialogue doesn't really even matter, even though it's as awkward as Stallone in high heels, what should matter is the film's energy and scares. As long a filmmaker can keep the story going an idiotic script shouldn't really matter. Look at Evil Dead—the weak plot and dialogue really don't matter, what matters are Raimi's wacky camera angles, the intensely stylized gore, and Bruce Campbell mugging it for everything he's worth.
Writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky, though full of piss and vinegar, has zero writing ability, I'd like to make that clear. I respect his attempts at subverting genre, but none of them really work. This isn't his sin. His sin is his sluggish pacing and his flat compositions. The camera work and cutting is tired and lifeless, and the only 'fun' shots are taken directly from other movies (usually Evil Dead, as a matter of fact). The scares are far between, not to mention telegraphed, and the gore is paltry. This leaves us with only the plot and acting to look towards, and though the acting gets better as the film progresses, the script actually gets worse. The only thing that works in the film's favour is a bunch of unintentional humour, which isn't really the kind of thing most filmmakers probably want to hear.
Poor framing and bad lighting are no match for the powers of anamorphic widescreen. No, actually, they are, even progressive scanning can't overcome Nightmare Man's visual faux pas. Blacks are never truly black, even though the compositions often depend on it, and when things get real dark towards the middle of the film it's nearly impossible to make out anything happening on screen. Edges are soft and everything blurs when moving. Colours are overall washed out, with the exception of reds, which actually punch quite nicely. Grain is light, but compression noise is a consistent nuisance, especially in the slightly greened skin tones.
Unlike some of the other shoestring efforts in this years Horrorfest, Nightmare Man's Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track doesn't cover its budgetary constraints. If anything this goofy track points to the miniscule budget and amateur production more obviously. The base of the audio – the dialogue and stuff recorded on location—is flatly presented only in the centre channel, and is entirely uneven. The surround channels are entirely devoted to the film's cheaply produced (though not necessarily poorly written) musical score, and a bunch of heavy handed post-production sound (stuff as lame as hooting owls. The bass levels are thick, and the directional effects work, but the mix is unbelievably poorly produced and awkward.
Things begin with a super obnoxious audio commentary featuring writer/director Kanefsky, producer Esther Goodstein, and actress Tiffany Shepis. Kanefsky talks about his 'homage' sources, and generally talks exactly how you might expect the person that made Nightmare Man would speak. Tiffany Shepis (obnoxious or not, probably the best actress in the movie) has some issues with attention, because being half naked most of the movie doesn't seem to be enough, she has to also let us know how sexy she is while recording the track. Goodstein has the most behind the scenes tales to tell, but her laugh is scarier then anything in the film.
This is followed by a collection of extended scenes. First is a three minute and thirty second extended version of the car trip to the hospital, filled with awkward floods of unnecessary exposition and some killer continuity issues. That's nothing compared to the epic, seven minute plus version of erotic truth or dare, which is positively murderous in its intent to pain me. Yes, it has more fake orgasms and strip teases, who cares? A brief character beat attempt at levity, an extended supporting character death, and an extended hammy 'sex scene' round out the cutting room fatalities. Next up is the gag reel, which just keeps going, for seven long minutes.
'Tiffany's Behind the Scenes' is lead actress Tiffany Shepis' video diary. It opens with her strip scene (again, complete with crap music), then cuts to a bunch of very raw behind the scenes footage. The movie is crap, but it appears it was a romp to make. Shepis is still a little obnoxious as our narrator (she's just overbearing), but strikes one as a really nice girl, and she's sure to talk to as many members of the cast and crew as possible. About seventeen minutes long, decently edited, and cute. 'Creating the Nightmare' is another behind the scenes featurette. This one's a little more specific to the production, utilizing raw, on set footage, glancing at some screen tests, the make-up processes (the effects guy is listening to Fabio Fabrizzi music while working his magic), and production design. At about twenty-two minutes, this is likely the most encompassing and lengthy making of featurette in the whole Horrorfest collection.
The same Lionsgate/After Dark trailers, a collection of stills, and the same old Miss Horrorfest webisodes complete the extras screen.
Nightmare Man is simply a bad movie, lacking effectively everything that makes a bad movie enjoyable. I really wish I liked the film because I love the idea of giving the thumbs up to a small production instead of some faceless, corporate movie. I'm also a little afraid of getting angry emails from the people involved, because it's happened to me before. I respect independent filmmakers enough to be honest, though this is Rolfe Kanefsky's thirteenth film as director. You'd think he would've learned something by now.

Actually this is the one I was most interested in the 8 films to die for. I do trust you Gabe Powers for this being a bad movie. But I'm still renting all the 8 films to die for.

another entertaining review from gabe. No wonder you have to write reviews like this to keep sane after watching bad films.

This movie was weird...but for some reason I still liked it...I still need to raise money to buy it & rewatch it but there was something about it...it was better than Borderland, Mullberry St., & Unearthed, but still didnt make it into my top 4 (top 4 because there were only 8 movies, if there were more itd have changed to top 5).
If I remember correctly, the ending was really weird & was kinda cool yet at the same time lame, if anyone knows what i mean by that.

I caught this movie on Zone Horror here in the UK and Gabe pretty much hits the nail on the head. Couple of "Evil Dead" like camera shots aside, it's kinda by the numbers and isn't anything special. However, im a sucker for Tiffany Shepis so i sat through it. The "twist" was meh but by God was the jock kid a c**ppy actor.

I saw this yesterday, good idea for a movie but the really bad acting, poor production values, and constant clichés just turned me off. It just felt like a film where no one involved really cared to put any effort into it.

Amen brother!
I think I'll pass on this one. I liked Borderland, thought Crazy Eights was ok and HATED Lake Dead. If this is anywhere near as bad as Lake Dead then I will save myself 80 minutes of my life.

I don't want to be rude but okay. Guys you really have to move on. It's been 3 days without any reviews, artwork, or any newscasts. I've been a fan and go on here a daily basis. So please.

Gabe - I wouldn't be surprised if you DID get an angry email. I reviewed the film on my site and within 24 hrs I had a "You don't know what you're talking about!" style comment/defense from 'director'.

Gardening can be a way to connect with nature, enjoy delicious produce for much less than you'd pay at the market or experiment with heirloom varieties or the latest cutting-edge hybrids. But becoming a proficient gardener is also a way to increase your self-sufficiency and prepare for the rigors of hard times.
As author Carol Deppe, a long-time gardener with a PhD in biology and decades of experience in plant breeding and sustainable agriculture, explains in her new book, The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times (Chelsea Green Publishing, 2010, $29.95), hard times can come in a variety of ways. Personal hard times may come in the form of drought, special dietary needs, job loss or lack of time. But they can also come as what she calls "mega hard times," the result of man made or natural disasters that cause major disruptions in all aspects of society.
To help weather the personal hard times, Deppes's book is filled with advice on ways to create a garden with the resiliency to withstand periods of minimal care or climatic challenges and still provide a secure source of healthful food. She also shows how gardening can help those dealing with dietary restrictions and allergies.
To prepare for the "mega hard times," she provides advice on growing five crops on a small scale that could enable you to survive and feed yourself and your family, come what may. Potatoes, corn, beans, squash and eggs provide her foundation for a self-sufficient, nutritionally complete food supply. She deals with each of these crops in detail, covering varieties to choose, techniques for growing, harvesting, storing, and cooking, as well as seed saving.
There is also information on nutrition, along with advice on building soil fertility and watering plants in ways that are environmentally responsible and adaptable to regional conditions. Even if you're not yet ready to begin preparing for the possibility of small or large scale disasters, this book contains so much good basic growing information that just about any gardener will find it helpful.

If you have never heard The Shadow Kabinet's epic album Smiling Worlds Apart I suggest you do it pronto. Especially if you love The Beatles. For with tracks like Tabla Motown (a quirky sitar driven instrumental) Office Life (Lovely Rita style pop) and the title (think Harrison's droney psych), multi-instrumentalist Steve Somerset, for he is The Shadow Kabinet created a Sgt Pepper in miniature. And very good it is too – Spotify link below.
Now four years on and Somerset is back with the third SK album Nostalgia For The Future. Having made his Fabs' inspired pop masterpiece Somerset has fast forwarded a decade or so with Nostalgia and many of the tracks sound like they have their roots in the 70s as opposed to the 60s vibe of his earlier albums.
Sure there's a smidgeon onf psych, especially in the album's opener – the title track – and its Lennon-esque finale Let It Go, but in between the music's inspiration hovers somewhere between 73-76.
So you have Dust Descends Into Light – a droney slice of Wish You Were Here era Floyd complete with Gilmour-esque guitar and Ladder To The Moon, whose jazzy interludes and odd instrumentation recall Peter Frampton. The album's opening single Angelville even has a whiff of Chris Isaak's Wicked Games about it.
In some respects then Nostalgia doesn't connect quite as quickly as its predecessor, but give it time. It really gets under your skin and stays there.
Somerset's songwriting has blossomed too. There are some great off the wall lyrics, such as Have We Got Max On Board which imagines how a world war was temporarily postponed so the world's inhabitants wouldn't miss the final of the X-Factor. Or the story of a girl who falls out of her window in Camden in the intriguing Ladder To the Moon.
While the lyrics are often inspired and the arrangements ambitious it is the melodies that carry this excellent album. The title track may be Somerset's best ever though Honey Glow Afternoon – a gorgeous slice of folk pop – runs it very close.
If you have ever loved Pugwash, XTC, The Orgone Box or any number of McCartney influenced US power poppers then you'll adore this.

GENEVA (AP) — Responding to Syria's deepening crisis, the U.N.'s health agency rushed out new guidelines Tuesday for treating victims of chemical weapons attacks.
The World Health Organization, which has three staff members in the U.N.'s chemical inspection team in Syria, says the new guidelines are meant to help health workers treating victims of chemical warfare agents like those purportedly used in the Aug. 21 attack in the suburbs of Damascus.
"We did rush this out ... given the interest and concern about what's been happening" in Syria, said spokesman Glenn Thomas. The guidelines will "evolve as we have a better understanding of the risks," he added.
U.N. spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci told reporters in Geneva that the inspection team might need longer than the planned 14 days to complete its work and its priority now is to determine what happened in the Aug. 21 attack. "This is the first priority," she said.
The U.N. team traveled to the western Damascus suburb Moadamiyeh on Monday to look one of the areas affected by the purported chemical attack, where they collected samples and testimony. Their convoy was attacked by snipers, destroying one of the vehicles, but members of the team were unharmed.
Thomas said new the guidelines improve on earlier information provided by WHO by including more specific information and a "work flow" for medical workers to follow in treating patients
The guidelines list signs and symptoms of exposure to chemical warfare agents: nerve agents such as tabun, sarin or VX, blister agents such as mustard gases and lewisite, cyanide and incapacitating agents such as agent BZ. It also covers exposure to riot control agents such as tear gas and other toxic chemicals including chlorine, phosgene and thallium.
Khawla Mattar, a spokeswoman for the U.N.'s special envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said he remains confident that a second Geneva peace conference to find a political settlement in Syria will be held to follow up on the June 2012 foreign ministers' conference, but that "it doesn't look like" it can be held before October.

Veterans continuing their education at BCTC
Nearly 500 active military and veteran students are currently taking classes at Bluegrass Community and Technical College. Over 2,200 have enrolled in classes at BCTC in the last five years. In the 2012-2013 academic year, 101 credentials were award to 55 graduates who were active military or veterans. We would like to take the opportunity this Veterans Day to recognize our active military and veteran students and thank them for their service. Here are three of their stories.
Christopher Cool, 43, went into the Army straight out of high school and served from 1987-1993. He served in the first Gulf War, was stationed in Germany and achieved the rank of sergeant. After his service he went back to school at Morehead State University through the GI Bill with plans to earn his bachelors degree in medical technology, but a family situation caused him to leave school halfway through.
For a long time I thought, oh well, I blew my shot (at college), said Cool.
For 12 years, Cool worked in the engineering field as a technician. He did drafting and designed plumbing systems, and considered himself fortunate to have found a good job. The work wasnt bad, but he missed science.
Then, the same week Cool was laid off from his job, the VA came out with a program to send laid off veterans back to school.
Ive always wanted to go back to school, but Ive got a family and bills. The VA program helped a lot and made it possible [to go back to school], Cool said.
Cool was able to transfer his credits from Morehead State to the biotechnology program and graduated one year later. He is now employed in the lab as a biotechnician at Transposagen in Lexington, where he interned during his time at BCTC. Cool works with DNA modification at the lab, and credits the biotechnology program at BCTC with giving him the knowledge, tools, and practical experience he needs to do his job.
It sounds like science fiction, Cool said. Its cutting edge and its being taught right here on this campus.
Twenty-five or thirty years ago, there was a different perception of community college, said Cool. It was where you went if things werent working out. Now Cool is amazed at what he was able to do with an associates degree.
Eder Flores, 23, knew he wanted to go to school, but joined the military right out of high school in June 2008 because he had a daughter to support. He was stationed around the United States and had one tour of duty in Iraq from September 2009 - August 2010.
Flores trained as a medic in the Army, and when he got out he started pursuing a degree in nursing.
Flores enjoyed his tour in Iraq as a medic. He was able to train in different areas, assist doctors with many procedures and gain experience in the medical field, all of which reinforced his desire to be a nurse.
He started his pre-nursing degree at BCTC in June 2012 and plans to transfer to a four-year university to earn a bachelors degree in nursing. Flores says he enjoys his classes at BCTC, and prefers a small classroom where the teachers are accessible instead of large auditorium class with a few hundred other students.
Im a little older, and I didnt know what to expect [when I came back to school], he said.
But Flores has found a mix of younger and older students in his classes, and feels comfortable that he will be ready for a four-year school.
The motivation I learned in the Army has helped, Flores said. The confidence of being a solider applies to being a student. There are times that being a student gets hard, and I think I did [this] in the Army I can get through school.
Eder met his wife Stephanie in the Army. She left service when she became a mother and has since gone back to school at BCTC to get her associates degree in Surgical Technology. Stephanie is set to graduate next summer.
His advice to others: Its never too late to start.
Veteran Samuel Bloomfield, 24, is in his first year semester at BCTC and is working toward his associates in science. He plans to transfer to UK in the fall of 2015.
The military background in Bloomfield's family and the events of September 11 led him to want to serve. He joined the Marines in June 2008 and served four years. He was stationed in Okinawa and North Carolina, and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011.
Currently Bloomfield is a work-study student in Financial Aid at the Leestown campus. He enjoys math and hopes to work in finance after he graduates, possibly as a broker, an accountant or even in financial aid.
Its nice to be able to help someone, and to stop fraud, Bloomfield said of his work-study job.
Bloomfield's advice to veterans: Ask questions, and take advantage of everything thats offered to you. Its there to make you better.
BCTC is approved for the enrollment of veterans and/or dependents and spouses of veterans to receive Veterans Education Assistance Allowances (GI Bill). The Office of Military and Veteran Student Services exists to provide student veterans and their family members a place to learn about educational benefits, assist with the application process both to the college and for financial aid; to refer counseling and career services when needed and to provide assistance with veterans when applying for the GI Bill.
The office is a resource for student veterans and their families to obtain information regarding a variety of services available. There are computers for use by veterans and an area where veterans can meet and socialize. The Bluegrass Collegiate Veterans Association is a student-run group that promotes fellowship among student veterans as well as opportunities to perform community service and participate in both on and off-campus events.
For more information please contact Gwen Hacker, VA Certifying Official at (859) 246-6820 or email@example.com. Her office is located at the Leestown Campus in Building C Room 118.

Dry Weather Helps Minnesota Farmers Harvest Grains
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Dry weather is helping Minnesota farmers with the small grain harvest, but it's also hurting crop conditions.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday that Minnesota's spring wheat harvest has reached 65 percent complete. That's nearly up to the normal harvesting pace of 66 percent.
The oat harvest is now 80 percent complete, slightly behind normal.
But crop conditions continue to decline as dry weather persists. An average of only 0.31 inch of rain fell last week, 0.50 inch below normal. But there was marginal improvement in the condition of sunflowers.
Soybean conditions declined slightly to 54 percent good or excellent.
Warmer-than-normal temperatures and continued sunny days combined for 6.6 days suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil and subsoil moisture levels continued to decline.

Life lessons from Callie
News Editor
She was the most vivacious pup of the litter that bounded into Betsy's 10-year-old lap. A bundle of fur the color of a freshly shined penny.
A week passed before "Callie" was named, part of an indigenous custom that helps reveal personality and character.
Mainstays at the Harvest Festival dog show, Betsy once dressed them both in leis and bikinis to dance to Beach Boys music.
Although I didn't realize it at the time, Callie offered our family several opportunities for growth.
Gratitude for simple things like a tossed tennis ball that was always fun to retrieve.
And that it's okay to show fear.
Callie would give wide berth to Betsy's squawking clarinet, even when the instrument lay dormant in its case.
Loving and accepting everyone with a wagging tail and giant smile were her most noticeable teachings and she always asked for what she needed—pats and hugs.
Most of all, Callie taught me how to be present to the moment.
A lesson that became very difficult when she was diagnosed with an aggressive tumor and started leaving us in small increments in just a few days.
As I prayed for a miracle and hoped the medicine I pushed down her throat would work, her breathing became more labored.
I struggled with trying to control the situation (which I couldn't) and honoring both her dying and my grieving processes.
Under a fingernail moon last week, I took Callie for her last walk in the park. Later, I brushed and sang to her in the moonlight and laid down with her in the dark.
My face was buried in her red fur and my arms held her when she began her journey into the next world.
The lake reflected a soft, pink sunset as our family let the physical part of Callie go. Pungent cedar boughs lined the bottom of her grave and her beloved toys were at her side as we sent her on her way.
A screech owl trilled. And I knew she was letting us know that she'd crossed over safely.
One last loving message from Callie and I was present to hear it.
"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset."—Crowfoot, a Blackfoot Elder

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market is starting the holiday week with a big gain.
Just after the opening bell on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average is up 102 points at 12,690. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is up 12 at 1,372. And the Nasdaq composite index is up 32 to 2,885.
European markets are sharply higher. Financial analysts say it's because of optimism that leaders in the United States will reach a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, a package of tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect Jan. 1.
U.S. investors are also encouraged by corporate earnings reports. Lowe's says its third-quarter profit surged 76 percent. That's after a strong report from Home Depot last week. Tyson Foods also beat Wall Street expectations.

As one of our over 6 million FreedomWorks activists nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and urge them to vote NO on the conference report for the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA), H.R. 3080. While this bill makes some small improvements on its predecessor, it still leaves taxpayers on the hook for tens of billions of dollars in project backlogs and cost-sharing.
The most glaring deficiency in this reform bill is that it does little to address the enormous backlog of projects for the Army Corps of Engineers. While WRRDA proponents celebrate the net $6 billion cut in these authorizations, they leave out that this cut leaves behind a to-do list of projects that would cost tens of billions of dollars.
The bill also fails to address the cost/benefits analysis the Corps of Engineers uses for their projects, which leads to federal spending on these projects frequently greatly exceeding their projected cost.
WRRDA also fails to address the faulty Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF), which currently uses a faulty system to allocate funds for harbor maintenance. A large portion of the funds in the HMTF are used to subsidize the maintenance of smaller, less profitable ports, meaning that the fund acts as a redistributor of wealth from larger ports to smaller ones. At the very least the HMTF's funds should be allocated in a manner that is more consistent with the actual activity and maintenance costs associated with a given harbor.
In balance, the improvements in WRRDA – such as removing earmarks and deauthorizing a few of the Corps of Engineers' projects – do not come close to offsetting the fundamental fiscal problems in the previous WRDA bills.
I urge you to call your representative and senators and ask them to vote NO on the Water Resources Reform and Development Act, H.R. 3080. We will count their vote as a KEY VOTE when calculating FreedomWorks' Economic Freedom Scorecard for 2014. The scorecard is used to determine eligibility for the FreedomFighter Award, which recognizes Members of Congress who consistently vote to support economic freedom.

Aponogeton satarensis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Aponogeton satarensis Sundararagh
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Aponogeton satarensis was described from Mhavashi ferricrete by Sunderaraghavan, Kulkarni and Yadav in 1982.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(ii,iii)+2ab(ii,iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Watve, A.
|Juffe Bignoli, D., Narasimhan, D., Kumar, V.S., Ravikumar, K. & Rao, M.L.V.
|Molur, S.
Aponogeton satarensis is only known from five sites in small temporary pools on the top of widely separated hill plateaus in the Western Ghats. At one of these sites, some of the temporary pools have been lost due to the construction of windmills however, secondary pools have been created and the species is has colonized these new pools. Another site is threatened by the increase of tourism (botanical amateurs) and litter disposal. Hence, the habitat quality of these sites is degrading due to increased pollution, changes in micro habitats by earth removal, littering and garbage disposal and unintended fires in summer caused by tourists and grazers. Other sites are being claimed for mining of laterite, although no pressures are active at the present except for grazing, which has been going on for several years. In the study that was conducted for three years from 2004-2006, decline was not observed although habitat modifications was observed in some of the known localities. Despite this, population decline in the next 10 years is expected due to increasing human pressures on the known sites. The species is assessed as Endangered as it has a restricted area of occupancy and extent of occurrence, and there is an ongoing a decline in habitat quality in most of the known locations.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species has been reported from Mhavashi (which is the type locality), Kas, Patan ferricretes in Satara district and Gothane ferricrete in the Western Ghats which falls under Ratnagiri district political boundary. The fifth locality is Chalkewadi plateau in Satara district, Maharashtra (A. Watve pers. obs. 2004-2006). It is also known to occur in Amboli area, Maharashtra (S.R. Yadav pers. comm. 2003).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:India (Maharashtra)
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|A population study of this species was made in two localities and other which were rigorously surveyed for three years (Watve in litt.). The population size was estimated to be 1,500 mature individuals with the largest subpopulation containing 500 individuals. A decline in mature individuals was not observed from 2004-2006 although habitat modifications were recorded in some of the localities. Population trend for the global population is not clear.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Primary habitat of this species is monsoonal rock pools of about 20 cm depth formed on ferricretes at altitudes above 800 m in the northern Western Ghats. It secondary habitat may be in water filled ditches formed by soil removal where it grows well for about two years.
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|This species is not in trade or use.
|Major Threat(s):
The main threats for this species are habitat disturbance due to construction of windmills leading to major changes in surface drainage. Removal of soil and increased garbage also disturbs the species. In one site, increased tourist pressure leads to trampling of primary habitat. This species being a well known attraction to plant lovers and photographers is often targeted by the tourists leading to habitat disturbance.
According to an earlier flora, one locality is threatened by the construction of a dam. This is highly improbable now (A. Watve pers. obs 2010). The site is remote, at the top of the mountain, highly protected as it is core zone of a newly created Wildlife Sanctuary (Chandoli) and perhaps is the best protected location for this species.
|Conservation Actions:
|Ex-situ conservation efforts have been done by individuals and institutions including Botanical Survey of India, however none have been successful as the habitat requirements are too specific. More concentrated efforts are needed for a long term for ex-situ conservation. At present conservation of habitats is the best measure (A. Watve pers. obs. 2010) as well as reducing impacts mentioned in the threats section.

By Sam Shepard
Directed by Cyndy A. Marion
A White Horse production through February 12
American Theatre of Actors
314 West 54th Street
(212) 868-4444
Rod Sweitzer as Tilden and Ginger Kroll as Shelly in the White Horse production of Shepards Buried Child.
Paying homage to Sam Shepard, one play at a time
By Jerry Tallmer
In a previous century, the appellation Jukes and Kallikaks was shorthand for interbred rural peoples of minimal sexual discipline and less mentality. The Jukes-and-Kallikaks genetic line would seem to have been passed along to a more recent family, first spotted in 1979 and now once again under scrutiny on a New York stage.
Its a brood where neither father, uncle, grandfather, unseen hell-raising grandmother upstairs, or anybody else acknowledges the kinship or even indeed the existence of son/nephew/grandson Vince, who has been away for six years and now, on his way by car to see his father in New Mexico, has stopped by just to say hello.
Where from time to time Vinces sub-articulate father, Tilden, who should be in New Mexico but isnt, stomps into the clans remote Norman Rockwell dwelling with armful after armful of ears of corn and clumps of carrots that may or may not have been growing in the backyard.
Where also from time to time there are intimations of another, darker, closely guarded secret in that backyard.
And where Vinces girlfriend Shelly, who has come along with him just for the ride, is now forcefully declaring to one and all of these zombies:
I am here! I am standing right here in front of you. I am breathing. I am speaking. I am alive! I exist. DO YOU SEE ME?
Cyndy A, Marion gave a low laugh. Shes the director of the White Horse companys production of Sam Shepards Buried Child thats at Off-Off-Broadways American Theatre of Actors through February 12.
Ive been trying for four years to get to speak with Sam Shepard, she said. No success. Last week Ginger Kroll, the actress whos playing Shelly, bumped into him at the corner of Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue, two blocks from where we were rehearsing.
He said hed like to come see the show after he got back from Sundance. It took him a minute to remember the play [which had won the Pulitzer Prize in 1979]. He told Ginger: To be honest, I havent seen it in some time. Id be interested in seeing it again.
He didnt know of the existence of our company, even though weve done five of his plays in four years: True West, The Late Henry Moss, States of Shock, A Lie of the Mind, and now this one. Last year, said Cyndy Marion, I also did his La Tourista at the Michael Chekhov Theatre, and Id directed his Fool for Love in 2002 as my graduate thesis from Brooklyn College.
Ms. Marion first saw Buried Child as an undergraduate at Davidson College in North Carolina. She could hear Hallie, that noisy, high-living grandmother upstairs, but couldnt believe she didnt see her until Hallie finally comes down those stairs very, very deep into the play. Id never seen a play where one character was kept offstage so long. It drove me nuts, expecting her to appear. The problem, now, as a director, is not to rush it to store up the power of those silences. A Catch-22: to let it take the time it needs.
In 1996 she saw Buried Child again, in the Steppenwolf production on Broadway directed by Gary Sinise, and last year she saw it once more, at the little 65-seat Michael Chekhov down on Ridge Street.
It was so intimate, and the Broadway production was so non-intimate. The play actually spoke to me more in that very limited black-box environment. No staircase. No anything. It made me want to do it. She sort of smiled without smiling. We have a staircase.
That corn that Tilden keeps bringing in is it real or is it hallucinatory?
Its real. We just dont know where he got it. From their backyard, or did he steal it? But yeah, its real. So are the carrots.
And the unborn child? Or buried child?
Well, in my head, director Marion said, there is an unborn child and she named its parents, though that information will not be printed here.
What can be printed is, to this playgoers mind, a certain similarity in subject matter, or obsession that real or illusory lost child between Sam Shepards 1979 Buried Child and Edward Albees 1962 Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Hmmmm, said Cyndy Marion. Hmmmm. Ive never heard that. I dont know. Buried Child has been compared to Ibsens Ghosts. But Virginia Woolf? Hmmmm. That would be an interesting study.
You know, there are two versions of Buried Child, the one he wrote in 1978 and the one he rewrote for Broadway in 1996, emphasizing certain things. Thats the one youve now got to use whether you like it or not.
