The coming stage of evolution, Teilhard de Chardin said, won't be driven by physical adaptation but by human consciousness, creativity, and spirit. We visit with his biographer Ursula King, and we experience his ideas energizing New York Times Dot Earth blogger Andrew Revkin and evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson.

Your Comments
Many thanks to Krista and the
Many thanks to Krista and the On Being team for a tremendous series of interviews on the philosophy of Teilhard de Chardin. Teilhard's ideas are even more relevant today than when they were written and you are doing a great service to discuss them. I would recommend that you include additional resources on the works of Teilhard. Some of the best include:
The American Teilhard Association: http://www.teilharddechardin.org/
Works of Louis Savary (who along with Ursula King are the two best authors on the life and works of Teilhard).
The Galactic Milieu series by Julian May (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_Milieu_Series) which a science fiction series that describes a not-too-distant future which shows in the evolution of humanity based on Teilhardian concepts.
The Hymn of the Universe, which was quoted in the interview is available online:
Thank you again for a wonderful podcast and interviews.

Another great show.
Another great show. Optimists such as myself believe that each person's essential nature is love, so any behavior that doesn't seem to come from love, comes from the illusion that we are not all connected and interdependent.
My understanding of the noosphere is that it is a super-consciousness of humans, that our mind is like a two way radio both receiving and transmitting thoughts subconsciously. Technology then, is only making the process more conscious and accelerated.

Will you be posting the story of the 13 year old girl who walked with Teilard in the park?

That was Jean Houston, who recounts the story of her twice (?) weekly walks in Central Park w/ "Mr Tayer" in one of her books (The Possible Human?) and many of her talks. It had a profound impact on her life and thought.
So many Atheists complain
So many Atheists complain about religion due to its ancient roots, for its trying to carry the ancient (to them) too far forward. But here we have a Catholic priest of all people, describing a foundation for religion as if taking the future and bringing it backward to us here.
I was introduced to the concept of a Universal Noosphere in the child's story "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov. It was given to me by my father, likely unwittingly, as Dad didn't follow SF (but He Was a religious man). That story changed my personal theology quite a bit. Checking years later it was found that the Asimov story came out just after the publication of "The Phenomenon of Man" - and I am looking for more on this possible connection. The author Tom Wolfe also talks insistingly about a connection, between de Chardin and Marshall McLuhan. McLuhan wrote of his idea of "The Global Village" 6 years after 'Phenomenon'. The modern Catholic Theologian John F. Haught gave us a great lecture on unifying religion and science and de Chardin was featured prominently again. Always an interesting subject.
Your show then comes to me as if a Christmas gift. Thank-You for this gift.
This program and all three
This program and all three unedited conversations have wetted my appetite for Teilhard, again. He is a lot of work. I love the story about the 13 year old who met him in the park for walks. That is useful.
I have been working on John MacMurray's writings for a number of years. I think he and Teilhard are on the same wavelength. Here is an excerpt from, REASON AND EMOTION (first published 1935).
"We are so accustomed to think that science is
knowledge that we overlook the fact that it pre-
supposes knowledge. We have an immediate living
experience of the world which is both more primitive
and more concrete than any knowledge which is the
result of deliberate reflection. And this knowledge science can
never deny without cutting the ground from under
its feet."
This being 'said' MacMurray sees science as the most fully developed of our three major institutions (art and religion are the other two).
A program that includes a John MacMurray scholar might be useful
Thank you, David

Dear Krista, as always, such a delight and inspiration to listen to your program this morning; it all seemed so perfectly helpful at a time of great tragedy here in Connecticut and as Christmas comes. Christmas blessings to you and yours. Jane Kellogg, Hamden CT (Trinity Church on the Green, New Haven)
I first read Teilhard as a
I first read Teilhard as a senior in college back in 1960, and continued to read him during my years in the seminary -- in Rome!
I've taught an advanced undergraduate course over the years on "The Classics of Spirituality," and have used "The Divine Milieu" as the final reading of the course.
I appreciate the program dedicated to Teilhard and welcome the continuing interest in his thinking. But I think that the heart of the matter was slighted in the presentations.
For Teilhard at the heart of his vision is Jesus Christ who is both the center and the goal of the Divine Milieu. This is why Teilhard's great friend and advocate Henri de Lubac holds that part of Teilhard's achievement was to recover the "cosmic Christology" of the Pauline Epistles.
So thank you for what you have done in the program; but it's like a glass only half full. You only offered some of the good wine.
Christmas wishes!
Dear Father Robert:
Dear Father Robert:
Thank you for your insightful comments. I agree with you that the Cosmic Christ is at the very heart of Teilhard's worldview and any attempt to separate his philosophy from his Christian faith does a disservice to both Teilhard and the Church. I share your view that Teilhard does a wonderful job of taking the core of the Christian faith, all the way from its earliest writings, and show how modern science and philosophy reaffirm these ancient truths.
However, as a faithful and practicing Catholic, I am also frustrated that the Catholic Church is has yet to fully embrace Teilhard. Interestingly, I first came across Teilhard by reading a wonderful book "Introduction to Christianity", first published in 1968 and written by a brilliant young theologian at the University of Tübingen, Joseph Ratzinger. I was hopeful that as Father Ratzinger moved up the ranks to Bishop, to Cardinal, to head of CDF, to the Chair of St. Peter, he would lead a rehabilitation of Teilhard, or at a minimum, expunge the cryptic 1962 warning. Despite continuing positive references to Teilhard by Pope Benedict, the 1962 warning still remains and Teilhard remains at the periphery of Catholic theology.
Father, I pray that you and others will continue to carry out the work of the Kingdom, including sharing the message of Teilhard's evolutionary Christianity.
Peace and Merry Christmas!
I wonder if, maybe, just
I wonder if, maybe, just maybe, his ideas (Tiehard's) are just the natural evolution of any optimistic thinking. Of course I have had exposure to these ideas but not enough to be so highly developed as my belief system is. It seems to me that its a natural process involving positive thinking. I guess I could be complimenting myself but that is okay -- as I love connecting up with some of the most powerful and energizing thoughts in our evolving minds.
What a wonderful surprise it
What a wonderful surprise it was this morning to hear the discussion about Teilhard De Chadin ! ! I was driving up to Maine and the discussion enriched the trip for me
A quote in The Pilot, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston,was my introduction to this learned and engaging philosopher.I found his books and added them to to my library for constant reference and enlightenment.
Ever since then I use excerpts from his writings when I speak to groups Only once has a listener responded with a knowledge of Teilhard.I dare say that today there would would be no mention of this genius philosopher in The Pilot given the super conservative turn of the recent and current Church leadership.
" A passionate longing to grow,to be is what we need. There is no room for the pessimists, the weary , the immobilizes,the sad of heart. Life is change. Life is movement."
This is off the top of my head so may not be a perfect quote But, this is the essence of the quote that caught my attention many years ago.. .
It seems to me this man's
It seems to me this man's knowledge of evolution is somewhat incomplete (and it also seems to me problematic to invoke the supernatural or a god when it comes to evolution and genetics). To state that evolution may be driven by consciousness is too speculative for me (as someone fairly well versed in evolution and someone who deals with the genetics of cancer on a daily basis). With that said, I do subscribe to the ideals of humanist philosophy - but I also realize 99.9+ percent of all organisms on this planet have gone extinct and that we will suffer the same fate. While it may be nice to think that in some way we are special and that there is a god that exists or cares for us, the reality is, imo, there is no evidence for such things. It seems to me we are only special because we choose to define ourselves in a special way or seek out characteristics that seem "special" to the human species. When you start out thinking we are special you will likely only find the evidence to support your premise. This is not scientific reasoning and should not be presented as such.
"All that exists obeys. Man
"All that exists obeys. Man alone occupies a unique status.
As a natural being he obeys, as a human being he must
frequently choose; confined in his existence, he is unre-
strained in his will. His acts do not emanate from him like
rays of energy from matter. Placed in the parting of the ways,
he must time and again decide which direction to take. The
course of his life is, accordingly, unpredictable; no one can
write his autobiography in advance."
excerpt from, I Asked for Wonder
by Abraham Joshua Heschel
It isn't that we 'define ourselves in a special way', it is that we define ourselves.
Thank you for your leading
Thank you for your leading edge leadership. The Tielhard program was outstanding. Might I suggest a whole series devoted to the work of Thomas Berry, who was the President of the American Tielhard Association for 10 years. Interview subjects might include Sr. Joan Chittister, Mary EvelynTtucker, Sr. Miriam McGillis, (Genesis Farm) and physicist Brian Swimme. More possible interviewies can be found on http://www.crle.org/thomasberry.asp and the Greenbsorough, Vt. Thomas Berry Center.
Yes, wonderful show. De
Yes, wonderful show. De Chardin's philosophy was an integral part of my formative spiritual search as a teen and young man. While i had certainly thought about his evolution to a divine milieu i havent revisited his writing. I now have two teenage girls and wonder sometimes about the effect of their constant electronic networking on their social, psychological and spiritual development. An apprehension of the noosphere? Maybe that can be the story we choose, as in the life of pi.? I'll be revisiting teilhard's writing thanks to this good show. Thank you!
Thank you so much for
Thank you so much for introducing me to the work of Teilhard. His ideas on the intersection of science and theology, articulated through the lens of a "planetary mind" or a consciousness of nature, resonate deeply with me.
At the risk of sounding too Scrooge-like on this Christmas Eve, I, too, have a belief in a noosphere, although mine is spelled Noahsphere (as in the Noah of the Old Testament). As I define God in terms of Nature, I believe that our planet may very well be headed toward a modern Noah Day of Reckoning wherein Mother Nature purges the earth with cataclysmic weather events that could destroy billions and billions of people, perhaps in our generation. It hurts me profoundly to express this. But even Bill McKibben may acknowledge that we have already eclipsed a point of no return with regards to the levels of greenhouse gases. Our collective culture has made so many toxic, greedy, violent, hubristic choices, a global re-set button may need to be hit.
Unfortunately, as in the time of Noah, that would mean many innocent, good people would also perish. When I was a young boy in Sunday School, hearing the story of The Flood, I always thought it was so unfair that so many of Noah's neighbors (not to mention all of the animals that didn't make it on the ark) were punished with death for simply disagreeing with his rather apocolyptic prophecy. I still do. And yet now I find myself espousing a similar conjecture. Ultimately, however, I retain hope. I must. I have energy for nothing but. It is a hope that we still have time to turn this thing around before Nature shrugs us off. Like Candide, I find that hope in my garden where I can learn to cultivate nurturance.
With the Solstice/Soulstice/Soilstice of the past week, the Light is returning. May we all dwell in it and find peace as we heal this fragile, resilient, conscious earth. (And I must also remember that the tale of Scrooge is ultimately one of redemption! :)
thank you very much for the
thank you very much for the clarity of presentation of Teilhard's thought. Though I can most easily feel his idea, I often find it hard to understand/explain him, if you know what I mean. The interviews were so helpful to me, and so hopeful.

Thanks for yet another great discussion! We are experiencing, no we are feeling the growing consciousness or "shift" very profoundly here in Ecuador. Not so much the internet will lead us but the people who are so connected to the earth.
I will finally read the book
I will finally read the book my grandmother recommended to me 40 years ago. I had been hesitant to dive in previously because it seemed a little daunting but your discussions will provide some signposts. I guess coincidentally, Institute of Noetic Science sent me a link to a very recent discussion with Jean Houston where she relates the story about her friendship with Teilhard at 11:10. Here is the link (i hope it works): http://trans.noetic.org/site/R?i=x0sRU_jgQppcAHQ87xPd_Q

Presented for your consideration: the Global Consciousness Project www.teilhard.global-mind.org This long-term, international, field-research initiative was inspired, in part, by de Chardin's notion of the noosphere. It strikes me that Mr. Revkin's statement can be applied to the Project's findings: "It's not just a function of computing power; there's something else that's going on."

Dear Krista,
Dear Krista,
I have enjoyed your show enormously and look forward to a new discovery or insight each week. Have you interviewed Dr. Herbert Benson, the basic researcher of the Relaxation Response? He documented the the human physiologic response to stress, describing it as the opposite of the "flight or fight" response initially thought to be voodoo medicine, at Harvard Medical school, his work and concepts have gone mainstream in Medicine? I would love to hear him expound upon this.
I listened to this story in
I listened to this story in the show archives and found it interesting given that I have been reading a lot of Ernesto Cardenal's poetry and he was heavily influenced by Teilard de Chardin. I disagree with something that your guest said about the moral dilemma that we face when choosing between 1) a change to alternative energies and 2) higher costs on the poor. These are two separate issues and two separate problems. The poor pay higher costs for everything already and this is not just an outcome of the capitalist system but one defining aspect of the capitalist system. Our insatiable desire to obtain more material wealth and goods is also a defining characteristic of capitalism and is what drives us to scour the Earth for energy sources to fuel our unsustainable system. We must reflect on our participation in this capitalist model to begin with and, returning to Teilhard de Chardin, realize that capitalism is a very primitive stage that should be and will be left behind as humans and the planet evolve.
I first encountered Teihard
I first encountered Teihard as a young novice in a religious congregation in the 1960s. Reading the forbidden was exciting.
Now decades later I serendipitously listened to this program about Teilhard while reading "The Idea Factory" the story of Bell Labs by Gertner. The confluence of the spiritual and scientific ideas is electric. Memory is a poor thing if it only works backwards.

Very good, this show was so informative. I learned a lot and will be digging deeper into this subject thanks, Krista.
Outstanding show Krista and
Outstanding show Krista and team! I am a huge fan of Teilhard de Chardin. I strongly believe that his insights are even more relevant today during his lifetime. I have started a blog devoted to following his ideas at www.teilhard.com.
I first discovered Teilhard
I first discovered Teilhard in a Catholic Seminary course and fell in love with the ideas. Growing up in public schools and going to secular universities I was so divided between my knowledge of evolution and my faith. I know they were compatable but wasn't sure how. Biblical scholarship showed me how to interpret Genesis non literally but Teilhard showed me how it all fit together.
so, chardin speaks of
so, chardin speaks of evolution as taking on a stage with regard to { vis-à-vis or in respect of, or with reference to, or a propos of} human beings that has much more to do with human consciousness than physical adapation and survival. look, this leads to those sort of statements that we need to use with a lot of caution. what sort? david sloan wilson says in one sense the origin of man was just another species, but in another sense we were and are an entirely new evolutionary process and one so marked that we might think of it as in some ways as significant as the evolution of life, by which he means organic life. okay, that would be okay, i suppose, if we were able to say that perhaps such hyperbole—with the aim of being inspirational—could make us feel good without making us feel 'better,' for perhaps such hyperbole could be slightly reworded and applied as well to the whale, for there is a huge amount about the life of the albatross and the colonies of coral that we really don't know about, so better for the consciousness and intelligence nurturing of our kind if we say such things in a way where we aren't being ridiculously silly by needing to feel good by feeling 'better.' sure, we might be able to say something like what wilson says—maybe... this one i find particularly tentative—if it simply means focusing on how Life is expressing HerSelf a propos of {or in respect of, or with reference to, or with regard to} humanity while knowing She is expressing HerSelf with reference to the Bristelcone Pine and selkie in ways worthy of eliciting exclamations, too.
but to the point being made concerning humankind. de Chardin in citing the evolution of consciousness, which is what richard bucke wrote about in cosmic consciousness as well, has to do with us having the means for intensifying our communication by way of cybespace, and he prayed as do many of us, that this theater could become a space, growing and growing even as the script for this stage has to do with matters of world peace and dynamic caring, priorities that raise the great teaching concerning love of neighbor as self to a visible, palpable reality of social living!!!!!!!!!!
alas, that is not what we've seen being done on this stage. at best, we've seen political scenes that have been influenced in a way that exposes the mindset of those like anwar congo and the other anti-heroes of joshua oppenheimer's documentary the act of killing which makes us more aware of all too many besides these indonesian mass murderers. and that awareness might be applied in the world of realpolitik for our good... we hope. but so far, all too many in our anglo cluster of cultures want to strike it rich with the newest 'game' that is not short on the very kind of violence that congo and his kind use to fuel their imaginations. yea, de chardin spoke of intensifying our communication worldwide, but what are we doing, what are we doing with that capacity?
the place to dare to seek to change has to do with media and the issue of the violence we put before our faces constantly. and down the line from that, the culture of idolatry we have made the second most striking feature of our cluster that does not serve the main well at all. yea, we need those who standout in ways that are substantially meaningful, the artists worthy of our canon, the scientists who are in the thick of the scientific establishment's quest for truth, but we are not lending the kind of support to one another that we could as long as we focus with such adoration on so few, all too many of the entertainment field who'd serve us best by not living out the jet set opportunities that are kept dangling like a child's mobile before our eyes all the days of our lives when we might have the vision and hope for us as us, with full-scale imagination going at it, before our eyes and attached to our arms.
what do i mean by 'full-scale imagination going at it?' we could have a cooperative culture, where we have graduated from being homo economico and have become homo narrandus, where the shared narrative with its aspiration has us involved in lives engaged with each other providing for one another, that features this kind of care and providing each other with enrichment scenes, so that we all have, if we can manage to do this with an economy focused on providing shelter, good nourishment, healthcare, and daily social activities rounded by the kind of ample vacation time found in nordic cultures where another focus for vocation, along with education and healthcare, is the vacation vocation, that is, we provide one another with opportunities with these vacations to pursue our interests—a week at a village where beers are made, for that is the hobby of more than a few; ten days at the community where you are involved in producing Hamlet, as you've been preparing for being Horatio for months, while your son is eager to learn how to be a cameraman; or going to the jazz festival in new orleans where you are going to play the sax in a band that will rehearse several hours a day; or headed out on a two-week trek on the appalachian trail; or to swimmer's camp with two workouts a day; or the traditional beach vacation on St. Johns or in Costa Rica!

Like-Minded Conversations
David Sloan Wilson believes that evolution is not just a description of how we got here. He says it can also be a tool kit for improving how we live together. He's taken what he's learned in studying evolution in animals and is now applying it to the behavior of groups in his hometown of Binghamton, New York. His goal is to help people behave pro-socially — at their best, and for the good of the whole.
Xavier Le Pichon, one of the world's leading geophysicists, helped create the field of plate tectonics. A devout Catholic and spiritual thinker, he raised his family in intentional communities centered around people with mental disabilities. He shares his rare perspective on the meaning of humanity — a perspective equally informed by his scientific and personal encounters with fragility as a fundament of vital, evolving systems. Le Pichon has come to think of caring attention to weakness as an essential quality that allowed humanity to evolve.
Each of us, in our everyday interactions, chooses between letting technology shape us and shaping it towards human purposes, even towards honoring what we hold dear. Sherry Turkle, director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, is full of usable ideas — from how to declare email bankruptcy to teaching our children the rewards of solitude.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Caregiver label doesn't define you, but helps recognize what you do
By Angela Lunde
27 comments posted
Last week I reconnected with a lovely couple I met a while back, Nick and Marie. It's apparent they've been in a caring relationship with one another for many, many years. Yet, when their doctor recently addressed Marie as caregiver (Nick is living with early stage Alzheimer's), Marie was a bit rattled, stating, "I'm a wife."
So I wondered, when does the label caregiver replace wife? If your husband or wife receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, do you (the spouse) leave the doctor's office with a new label, title and role? When do spouses label themselves as caregiver?
To a great degree we rely on labels to define ourselves. Labels connect us to our identity and self-worth: I'm a wife, I'm a husband, I'm a father, I'm a daughter, I'm an artist, I'm a manager, I'm a vegetarian. Often these labels don't necessarily reflect who we are as much as what we do, what our social status is, or how we function in life.
In a society that puts so much emphasis on the desire to be something, each of us grapples with figuring out exactly who we are in relation to our world. Importantly, the language or words we use to describe ourselves largely influences the way we think. And the way we think drives our emotions, our expectations and our behaviors.
In the case of Marie, instead of "being" a caregiver, she chooses to see herself as a wife in a caring or supportive role. Perhaps then caregiving or caregiver is a verb and not a definition — one that describes your relationship to other people, not who you are nor your relationship with yourself.
The ability to see ourselves beyond our jobs, roles, labels and titles and as the real, genuine substance of who we are is defined as the authentic self. It's who you are at your absolute core, not defined by anything external. Authentic self is all of the things that are uniquely yours and need expression.
For those in a caregiving role, faced with never-ending tasks, a sense of true self is often diluted and quite possibly something that gets lost early on. The path to authentic self may be somewhere between who you are and the one you are caring for.
Maybe it's the "golden mean" (Aristotle anyone?) between the extremes of selfish and selfless — the balance that rises out of compassion and loving care, and ends well before neglecting your own needs. It's an inner sense that you matter, that you deserve to be healthy and whole just as much as the person you're caring for.
I think many of you would agree that you don't want caregiving to define who you are. However, identifying yourself in a caregiving role as Marie does is a good for you. By identifying yourself in a caregiving role or as a caregiver you begin to pay attention to information, resources and services that can help you.
Most importantly, you become part of a large group of a people with common issues, needs and concerns. You begin to build recognition not of who you are, but of what you do.
When we name and label a role that we have, we validate our experiences and can nurture our feelings. We say to the world: Here I am, acknowledge me, hear me, support me, I matter.
Today you are You,
that is truer than true.
There is no one alive
who is Youer than You.--Dr. Seuss

Deerfield Academy has a rich softball tradition and a dynamic team of student athletes who love the game. Deerfield won the league championship in 2000 and reached the finals in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Although the Big Green hasn't made its way back to the finals in the past few years, the team is rebuilding and getting stronger every year.
The team plays a highly competitive 14-16 game schedule against some of the top teams in New England, including Miss Porter's, Choate, and Andover. Deerfield also has one of the best softball venues in the prep ranks featuring a grass infield, cut-out basepaths, electronic scoreboard, bleachers, and an immaculately manicured outfield.
For more information contact head coach Ms. Sherburne at email@example.com.
In 2006, Danielle earned her BA in Mathematics from Bowdoin College, where she was a varsity soccer player and an All-NESCAC, All-New England varsity softball player and team captain. After a grueling summer at famed Quantico, Virginia, where she ranked highly in Charlie Company as a candidate to be a Marine officer, Danielle adjusted easily to the dormitory trenches of boarding school life at Cushing Academy. For five years before coming to Deerfield, she taught math and coached soccer and softball at Cushing. Danielle is also a musician, with experience playing the guitar and singing at different venues.

Becca was born a "fac brat" and spent her first eight years of life at Deerfield. Having left the Pioneer Valley for about twenty years, she's now back on campus as a faculty member, and is excited to have returned. Becca attended Bowdoin College and received an undergraduate degree in sociology and Africana Studies. She then moved to the West Coast and taught middle school history at the Lakeside School. After two years in the Pacific Northwest she returned to the East Coast and earned a master's degree from Brown University in American Civilization and one from Boston College in history. Becca then returned to the classroom. At Beaver Country Day School she taught various history courses ranging from the History of the Middle East to Black Intellectuals to World History in the 20th Century. In the past she's coached soccer, squash, and Ultimate Frisbee, and is happy to be coaching squash and softball at Deerfield. Becca said although Deerfield is definitely different than it was when she was a kid, she couldn't be happier to be back.

In criminal law, indicates the intention, without justification or excuse, to commit an act that is unlawful.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A willful or intentional state of mind, in which the actor intends to bring about an injury or wrongdoing. 1) In criminal law, malice can be evident by the act itself, as when someone purposefully injures someone else. Murder requires proof of malicious intent, and first-degree murder requires "malice aforethought." 2) In a defamation lawsuit (libel or slander), the jury's finding that the defendant acted with malice may increase the plaintiff's damages. In order for a public figure to win a defamation lawsuit, he or she must prove malice on the part of the defendant. (See also: malice aforethought)

Worry about impact and public trust
Carney noted Monday that the inspector general's report found that there was no outside intervention regarding what he called "inappropriate scrutinizing of conservative groups" seeking tax-exempt status, and that no one in the White House intervened in the inspector general's review or "did anything that could be see as intervening."
In addition, Carney said, the misconduct had stopped in May 2012, almost a year before Ruemmler or anyone else at the White House was told of it by anyone at Treasury.
Inspector general blames a faulty policy
According to the inspector general's report, the IRS developed and followed a faulty policy to determine whether the applicants were engaged in political activities, which would disqualify the groups from receiving tax-exempt status.
The controversial move began in early 2010 and continued for more than 18 months, the report said, declaring that "the IRS used inappropriate criteria that identified for review Tea Party and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based upon their names or policy positions instead of indications of potential political campaign intervention."
The conservative groups complain their requests were delayed for months or even years through the review process, which is intended to prevent ineligible political groups from getting tax-exempt status.
The investigation by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration was initiated after congressional complaints began to surface in the media in 2012 that the IRS was targeting conservative groups and holding up applications.
In a written response included in the report, the IRS commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division said there was no criminal behavior behind the actions of the agents, but rather inefficient management.
Obama called practices described by the inspector general outrageous and forced Miller's resignation. In addition, the commissioner of the IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division also announced his retirement Thursday. Joseph Grant will leave in June, according to an internal IRS memo provided to CNN. Miller also is scheduled to exit then.

Published: 04 December 2013
Comments: 1
How is a library like a deli counter? Or like Nordstrom or the Ritz? All of these businesses rely on excellent customer service skills to delight patrons.

Top customer service organizations incorporate these ideas, and make a habit of constant improvement, to create exceptional experiences for those they serve. Every interaction with the library and library staff has the potential to improve customer perceptions. From the organization of materials, to library signage and policies,... Read more

Hi all, I don't know if this has already been posted before or not. I was wondering if anyone is interested in creating our own wuxia novel on this bulletin board.
We could come up with a basic story pilot, so that we have a foundation to base our story on. We'll come up with a list of characters and their characteristics. we each pick a character to role play as. and then everyone posts one paragraph or a few paragraphs each time. then the next person continues with the story by posting their part. We'll have a narrator that directs the story and posts the narrator's parts. This should be highly organized so as not to create any confusion.
Well, i thought it would be an interesting idea since there are so many brilliant and creative minds on the internet all working together. What do you guys think?

Realize Your Mission: How to Use Employee Engagement to Reach Your Goals
Employee engagement has been one of the most common buzzwords in recent years. Many organizations think of employee engagement as a necessary evil to drive results. While engagement is absolutely critical for success, many organizations misunderstand the best ways to use it to improve employee performance, productivity, and bottom line results.

In this webinar we will present the fundamental principles that truly increase employee engagement. We will describe 4 steps that will lead to lasting impact on employee engagement. The result will be higher employee retention, greater productivity, greater employee and manager satisfaction, much more happiness at work, and accomplishing your goals on time. Every time.
- Use employee engagement the RIGHT way, and save hundreds of thousands in wasted Dollars
- Move away from ineffective praise to Strategic Recognition
- Use our Engagement Trifecta that drives deep and lasting change

Are We Reconfigured Yet? US Research Libraries – Priorities, Trends, Directions
Exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners, this webinar will provide a synthesis of the priorities and trends affecting US research libraries in the twenty-first century and the directions they are taking.
In this webinar, OCLC Research Library Partnership Vice President Jim Michalko will share a synthesis of the priorities and trends affecting US research libraries in the twenty-first century, the directions they are taking, and the ways in which OCLC Research seeks to respond to these concerns and advance the desired directions. This synthesis is based on a series of interviews that Jim conducted with the senior staff at more than 65 OCLC Research Library Partner institutions, as well as surveys by OCLC staff and visits to institutions by OCLC field staff. Jim observed a surprisingly strong convergence of concern around a small number of issues despite differences in library size, constituencies, funding and geography. This suggests that a new pattern of investment has begun that will result in a new portfolio of library services. The exact service offerings vary from institution to institution as they take shape through close attention to and engagement with the local institutional mission and the needs of the local constituency.
What Your Tech Wants You to Know
No, your library's tech staff doesn't hate you. Or try to confuse you on purpose. They even speak the same language as you do! Yet, often, conflict arises between tech and other library staff. Everyone gets frustrated, and issues don't get solved as quickly as everyone would like.
Discover what you can do to make communication easier and make problem resolutions happen faster. Hear stories and some words of wisdom from actual IT staff who on the front lines of library technology. Learn how to approach troubleshooting like your tech does, and even some basic things you can do on your own.
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
- Be able to list at least 3 actions that will help get an IT problem resolved more quickly
- Name 2 or more tips that can help you to solve your own tech problems
- Understand how to make IT problem reporting more efficient

Major Minor's Majestic March "for western market first"
Major Minor's Majestic March, the newly announced title from PaRappa the Rappa creator and NanaOn-Sha founder Masaya Matsuura, is being designed with the west in mind, the Japanese dev legend said today.
"We are designing for the western market first," he said. "And we are now trying to find a Japanese publisher. Maybe we can find one soon, I hope."
Major Minor's Majestic March will be published by Majesco in the west.
The game, the first rhythm action title from NanaOn-Sha this decade, has been outlined for the first time in this interview.
"For the basic game function," explained Matsuura, "you will set up an initial BPM [beats per minute] by shaking the Wii controller and you start marching. Along the street and the road, you can find some one who wants to join your band. And you can invite these kind of people into your band. So it requires some kind of rhythm-based actions. But, of course, this kind of action is already controlled by your shaking the controller. And if you successfully invite the member into your band, you not only get that new member but also their new instrument as part of your band. And you keep doing that."
Definitely worth a read.

Major Minor's Majestic March confirmed for Wii
Publisher Majesco's just confirmed Major Minor's Majestic March for Wii. The rhythm action game's being developed by PaRappa the Rapper outfit NanaOn-Sha.
From the press release:
"Major Minor's Majestic March turns the Wii Remote(TM) into a "special" baton that the bandleader, Major Minor, uses to keep tempo, recruit new band members and pick up valuable items. While marching through eight whimsical locations that contain various hair-raising events, Major Minor strives to create the most impressive parade ever. Players can add up to 15 different instruments to their dynamic procession — including brass, woodwinds, and percussion — to alter its composition and resulting performance. Players are scored on how well their band maintains its rhythm and manages obstacles that could otherwise throw the procession into disarray. The band keeps tempo to more than 25 popular marching band songs from around the world, composed into original medleys for each stage."
The game ships at the end of the 2008 in the US and early 2009 in Europe. More here.

Hello David
I've done editions of his anthems 'Sing ye merrily unto God' and 'Christ being raised from the dead'. The latter is on the CD Vital Spark of Heavn'ly Flame Music of Death and Resurrection from English Parish Churches and Chapels 1760-1840. Psalmody / Parley of Instruments directed by Peter Holman. Hyperion CDA67020.
I live south of Manchester and could maybe pass these editions on to your cousin.

Monitoring Linux performance with Orca
Monitor and troubleshoot Linux system performance with the free and powerful Orca.
Enter the mysterious, and much neglected, world of performance monitoring. The mystery and neglect have the same root cause; performance analysis is a very complex issue that can be quite daunting. Performance engineers typically deliver thick reports replete with statistical equations, graphics, and polysyllabic run-on sentences to explain why you will need to replace your current infrastructure within a given time frame. System administrators yawn at the lengthy explanations and statistics equations that, frankly, can look like recipes written in Martian. You may be wondering why you really need to worry about performance monitoring for Linux since hardware is at almost "throw-away" prices today. The answer is that, for larger installations of Linux and mission-critical applications, it is less expensive to add to your infrastructure than to replace it. With clustering, fail-over applications, and distributed environments supporting hundreds or thousands of users, adding another 4 CPU server with 4GB of RAM is infinitely more palatable to those who write the checks than replacing everything you have because you have run out of resources. By collecting performance data, you can make informed decisions about upgrading, adding to, or replacing hardware as business growth dictates.

I use this for training runs. It tracks time & pace. I can set run/walks & upload my data to Garmin Connect when I'm done. Would be a 5-star product if I could reset the walk/run intervals during a run. It would also be better if I could set the alarm in fewer steps.

The ones that blog. and don't visit. or reply to emails. I SUCK so much ass right now.
Forgive me for being an ignorer. I still love your face.
I'll be better in January.

Ending with a Grayson quirk - he is VERY particular about what he wears.
Shirt - 1 of 3 - toy story with potato head, toy story snow, or scooby
pants - black
unders - spiderman
socks - toy story
shoes - cowboy boots.
He DEMANDS that he wears these things EVERYDAY.
If something is dirty - all hell breaks loose.

Feminists, Freaks and Fairies Opening Reception
Friday, April 10 Photographer Stef Shuster's latest show, "Feminists, Freaks, and Fairies" is the culmination of seven years of work and will feature protests and portraits across the country, from DC to San Francisco. Stef is a graduate student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Iowa. She photographs to better understand the world and interactions between beings, to show images of underrepresented folk and to give a space for people – many of whom may not normally be thought of as beautiful – the chance to evoke beauty. The University of Iowa LGBT Resource Center will host an opening reception for the show, which will be on display through May 10.

Marco Benevento Trio
Sunday, April 12
Marco Benevento is an innovative keyboard player combining rock and jazz, improvisation and just plain weird sounds. Embraced by indie rock, post-jazz and jam-band fans alike, Marco deftly colors his sound with Mellotron, Speak-N-Spell, banjo, a vintage church pump organ and all sorts of circuit bent toys. Marco first earned a multitude of young fans and critical acclaim for his visionary electric keyboard work as one half of post-rock instrumentalists The Benevento/Russo Duo. The acoustic piano takes center stage on his first solo CD, 'Invisible Baby,' released last year. On his 2009 release, 'Me Not Me,' Marco serves up deliciously warped interpretations of songs by artists like Beck, My Morning Jacket, Leonard Cohen and Deerhoof. As on Invisible Baby, Benevento is joined by bassist Reed Mathis and drummers Matt Chamberlain and Andrew Barr.
