Effects of transversity in deep-inelastic scattering by polarized protons
ABSTRACT Single-spin asymmetries for pions and charged kaons are measured in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of positrons and electrons off a transversely nuclear-polarized hydrogen target. The dependence of the cross section on the azimuthal angles of the target polarization (phi_S)and the produced hadron (phi) is found to have a substantial sin(phi+phi_S) modulation for the production of pi+, pi- and K+. This Fourier component can be interpreted in terms of non-zero transversity distribution functions and non-zero favored and disfavored Collins fragmentation functions with opposite sign. For pi0 and K- production the amplitude of this Fourier component is consistent with zero. Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures

ABSTRACT: Recent progress in the field of spin physics of high energy particle interactions is reviewed with particular emphasis on the spin structure functions as measured in polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering (DIS). New measurements are presented to obtain more direct information on the composition of the nucleon angular momentum, with results from semi-inclusive DIS accessing flavour-separated parton distribution functions (PDF) and with first data from hard exclusive reactions which may be interpreted in terms of recently developed generalizations of parton distribution functions (GPD). Finally, experimental prospects are outlined which will lead to a further development of the virtues of QCD phenomenology of the spin structure of the nucleon.International Journal of Modern Physics A 01/2002; 17(23). · 1.13 Impact Factor

Single-spin asymmetries for pions and charged kaons are measured in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of positrons and
electrons off a transversely nuclear-polarized hydrogen target. The dependence of the cross section on the azimuthal angles of the
target polarization (φS) and the produced hadron (φ) is found to have a substantial sin(φ + φS) modulation for the production of
π+, π−and K+. This Fourier component can be interpreted in terms of non-zero transversity distribution functions and non-zero
favored and disfavored Collins fragmentation functions with opposite sign. For π0and K−production the amplitude of this Fourier
component is consistent with zero.

Most of our knowledge about the internal structure of
nucleons comes from deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) exper-
iments. At the energies of current fixed-target experiments,
the dominant process in DIS of charged leptons by nucle-
ons is the exchange of a single space-like photon with a
squared four-momentum −Q2much larger than the typi-
cal hadronic scale, usually set to be the squared mass M2
of the nucleon. The cross section for this lepton scattering
process can be decomposed in a model-independent way in
terms of structure functions. Factorization theorems based
on quantum chromodynamics (QCD) provide an interpre-
tation of these structure functions in terms of parton dis-
tribution functions (PDFs), which ultimately reveal crucial
aspects of the dynamics of confined quarks and gluons.
Polarized inclusive DIS on nucleons, lN → l′X (where X
denotes the undetected final state), neglecting weak boson
exchange can be described by four structure functions (see,
e.g, Refs. [1,2]). They can be interpreted using collinear
factorization theorems (see, e.g, Ref. [3,4] and references
therein). Three of the structure functions contain contri-
butions at leading order in an expansion in M/Q (twist
expansion). These contributions include the leading-twist
(twist-2) quark distribution functions fq
(for simplicity, the dependence on Q2has been dropped).

mentum carried by the parton in a frame where the nucleon
moves infinitely fast in the direction opposite to the probe.
The hard probe defines a specific direction (q in Fig. 1),
usually denoted as longitudinal, and the transverse plane
perpendicular to it. In a parton-model picture, fq
scribes the number density of quarks of flavor q in a fast-
moving nucleon without regard to their polarization. The
PDF gq
1(x) describes the difference between the number
densities of quarks with helicity equal or opposite to that of
the nucleon if the nucleon is longitudinally polarized. The
integrals over x of fq
and axial charge of the nucleon, respectively.
There is a third leading-twist PDF, the function hq
called the transversity distribution (see Ref. [5] for a re-
view on the subject). Its integral over x is related to the
tensor charge of the nucleon [6]. It can be interpreted as
the difference between the densities of quarks with trans-
verse(Pauli-Lubanski) polarization parallel or anti-parallel
to the transverse polarization of the nucleon [7]. In contrast
to fq
1(x), due to helicity conservation, there ex-
ist no gluon analog of hq
Therefore, hq
1(x) cannot mix with gluons under QCD evo-
The transversity distribution does not appear in any
structure function in inclusive DIS because it is odd under
inversion of the quark chirality. It must be combined with
another chiral-odd nonperturbative partner to appear in
a cross section for hard processes involving only QED or
QCD, as such interactions preserve chirality. For this rea-
son, in spite of decades of inclusive DIS studies, no exper-
imental information on the transversity distribution was
available until recently. In lepton-nucleon scattering, the
transversity distribution can be accessed experimentally
only in semi-inclusive DIS with a transversely polarized
target, where it can appear in combination with, e.g., the

presents a measurement of the associated signal.
In semi-inclusive DIS, lN → l′hX, where a hadron h is
detected in the final state in coincidence with the scattered
lepton,the crosssectiondependson,amongothervariables,
the hadron transverse momentum and its azimuthal orien-
tation with respect to the lepton scattering plane about the
virtual-photon direction. If the target is polarized and the
polarization of the final state is not measured, the semi-
inclusive DIS cross section can be decomposed in terms of
18 semi-inclusive structure functions (see, e.g, Ref. [9]).
When the transverse momentum of the produced hadron
is small compared to the hard scale Q, semi-inclusive DIS
can be described using transverse-momentum-dependent
factorization [10,11]. The semi-inclusive structure func-
tions can be interpreted in terms of convolutions involv-
ing transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution
and fragmentation functions [12]. The former encode in-
formation about the distribution of partons in a three-
dimensional momentum space, and the latter describe the
hadronization process in a three-dimensional momentum
space. Hence, the study of semi-inclusive DIS not only
opens the way to the measurement of transversity, but
also probes new dimensions of the structure of the nu-
cleon and of the hadronization process, thus offering new
perspectives to our understanding of QCD.
When performing a twist expansion, eight semi-inclusive
structure functions contain contributions at leading order,
related to the eight leading-twist transverse-momentum-
dependent PDFs [9]. One of these structure functions is
interpreted as the convolution of the transversity distri-
bution function hq
T) (not integrated over the trans-
verse momentum) and the Collins fragmentation function
to the correlation between the transverse polarization of
the fragmenting quark and kT [8]. Here, z in the target-
rest frame denotes the fraction of the virtual photon energy
carried by the produced hadron h, pTdenotes the trans-
verse momentum of the quark with respect to the parent
nucleon direction, and kTdenotes the transverse momen-
tum of the fragmenting quark with respect to the direc-
tion of the produced hadron. This structure function mani-
fests itself as a sin(φ+φS) modulation in the semi-inclusive
DIS cross section with a transversely polarized target. Its
Fourier amplitude, henceforth named Collins amplitude, is
denoted as 2?sin(φ+φS)?
UT, where φ (φS) represents the
azimuthal angle of the hadron momentum (of the trans-
verse component of the target spin) with respect to the
lepton scattering plane and about the virtual-photon direc-
tion, in accordance with the Trento Conventions [13] (see
Fig. 1). The subscript UT denotes unpolarized beam and
target polarization transverse with respect to the virtual-
photon direction. Other azimuthal modulations have dif-
ferent origins and involve other distribution and fragmen-
tation functions. They can be disentangled through their
specific dependence on the two azimuthal angles φ and φS
T), which acts as a polarimeter being sensitive

(see, e.g, Refs. [9,14,15]). Results on, e.g., the sin(φ − φS)
modulation of this data set were reported in Ref. [16].
Non-zero Collins amplitudes were previously published
for charged pions from a hydrogen target [17], based on
a small subset (about 10%) of the data reported here,
consisting of about 8.76 million DIS events. Collins am-
plitudes for unidentified hadrons were measured on pro-
tons [18] and for pions and kaons, albeit consistent with
zero, on deuterons [19–21] by the Compass collaboration.
In Refs. [22,23] the first joint extraction of the transversity
distribution function and the Collins fragmentation func-
tion was carried out, under simplifying assumptions, using
bination with the deuteron data from the Compass collab-
oration[19–21]and e+e−annihilationdata from the Belle
collaboration [24,25]. Recently, significant amplitudes for
two-hadron production in semi-inclusive DIS, which con-
stitutes an independent process to probe transversity, were
measured at the Hermes experiment [26] providing ad-
ditional evidence for a non-zero transversity distribution
In this Letter, in addition to much improved statistical
precision on the charged pion results, the Collins ampli-
tudes for identified K+, K−, and π0are presented for the
first time for a proton target. The data reported here were
recorded during the 2002–2005 running period of the Her-
mes experiment with a transversely nuclear-polarized hy-
drogen target stored in an open-ended target cell internal
to the 27.6GeV Hera polarized positron/electron storage
ring at Desy. The two beam helicity states are almost per-
fectly balanced in the present data, and no measurable con-
tribution arising from the residual net beam polarization
to the amplitudes extracted was observed. The target cell
was fed by an atomic-beam source [27], which uses Stern–
Gerlach separation combined with radio-frequency transi-
tions of hyperfine states. The target cell was immersed in
a transversely oriented magnetic holding field. The effects
of this magnetic field were taken into account in the recon-
struction of the vertex positions and the scattering angles
of charged particles. The nuclear polarization of the atoms
was flipped at 1–3 minutes time intervals, while both the
polarization and the atomic fraction inside the target cell
were continuously measured [28]. The average magnitude
of the proton-polarization component perpendicular to the
beam direction was 0.725±0.053.Scattered leptons and co-
Page 4
incident hadrons were detected by the Hermes spectrome-
98% and a hadron contamination of less than 1%. Charged
hadrons detected within the momentum range 2–15 GeV
were identified using a dual-radiator RICH by means of
a hadron-identification algorithm that takes into account
the event topology. The detection of the neutral pions is
based on the measurements of photon pairs in the electro-
magnetic calorimeter. These were accepted only if Eγ> 1
GeV and 0.10 GeV < Mγγ < 0.17 GeV, where Eγ and
Mγγdenote the photon energy and the photon-pair invari-
ant mass, respectively. The combinatorial background was
evaluated in the side-bands 0.06 GeV < Mγγ< 0.10 GeV
and 0.17 GeV < Mγγ< 0.21 GeV.
Events were selected according to the kinematic require-
ments W2> 10GeV2, 0.023 < x < 0.4, 0.1 < y < 0.95,
and Q2> 1GeV2, where W2≡ (P + q)2, Q2≡ −q2≡
−(k − k′)2, y ≡ (P · q)/(P · k), and x ≡ Q2/(2P · q) are
the conventional DIS kinematic variables with P, k and k′
representing the four-momenta of the initial state target
proton, incident and outgoing lepton, respectively. In or-
der to minimize target fragmentation effects as well as to
exclude kinematic regions where contributions from exclu-
sive channels become sizable, coincident hadrons were only
included if 0.2 < z < 0.7, where z ≡ (P · Ph)/(P · q) and
Phis the four-momentum of the produced hadron.
The cross section for semi-inclusive production of
hadrons using an unpolarized lepton beam and a target
polarized transversely with respect to the virtual pho-
ton direction includes a polarization-averaged part and
a polarization-dependent part. The former contains two
cosine modulations and the latter contains a total of five
sine modulations [9,14,15]:

The dependence of the cross section and of the azimuthal
amplitudes on x, y, z, and Ph⊥has been suppressed. The
subscript UU denotes unpolarized beam and unpolarized
target, and dσh

Expressions similar to Eq. (2) hold for the other azimuthal
modulations in Eq. (1) [9]. Note that, as the quark fla-
vors enter the cross section with the square of their electric
charge, the u-quarks provide the dominant contribution to
the production of, e.g., π+/K+for proton targets (com-
monly denoted as "u-quark dominance").
Experimentally, the Fourier amplitudes of the yields for
opposite transverse target-spin states were extracted using
a maximum-likelihood fit alternately binned in x, z, and
Ph⊥, but unbinned in φ and φS. This is equivalent to a
Fourier decomposition of the asymmetry
UT(φ,φS) ≡
dσh(φ,φS) − dσh(φ,φS+ π)
dσh(φ,φS) + dσh(φ,φS+ π), (4)
for perfectly balanced target polarization and in the limit
of very small φ and φS bins. The asymmetry amplitudes
for neutral pions were corrected for the effects of the
combinatorial background evaluated in the side-bands
of the photon-pair invariant mass spectrum. In addition
to the five sine terms in Eq. (1), the fit also included a
sin(2φ + φS)term,arisingfromthesmallbutnon-vanishing
target-polarization component that is longitudinal to the
virtual-photon direction when the target is polarized per-
pendicular to the beam direction [30]. In order to avoid
cross contamination arising from the limited spectrometer
acceptance, the six amplitudes were extracted simultane-
ously. The fit did not include the cos(nφ) modulations of
Eq. (1). As a consequence, one cannot expect a priori that
the Fourier amplitudes extracted are identical to those of
Eq. (1). However, in the following they will be considered
to be equivalent because inclusion in the fit of estimates
[31] for the cos(φ) and cos(2φ) amplitudes of the unpo-
larized cross section resulted in negligible effects on the
extracted amplitudes.
The extracted Collins amplitudes are shown in Fig. 2 as
a function of x, z, or Ph⊥. They are positive for π+and K+,
negative for π−, and consistent with zero for π0and K−
at a confidence level of at least 95% based on a Student's
t-test including the systematic uncertainties. Note that the
x, z, and Ph⊥dependences in Fig. 2 are three projections
of the same data and are thus fully correlated.

of all these effects was estimated using a Pythia6 Monte
Carlo simulation [32] tuned to Hermes hadron multiplicity
data and exclusive vector-meson production data [33–35]
and including a full simulation of the Hermes spectrom-
eter. A polarization state was assigned to each generated
event using a model that reflects the (transversetarget) po-
larization dependent part of the cross section (see Eq. (1)).
This model was obtained through a fully differential (i.e
differential in the four relevant kinematic variables x, Q2,
z, and Ph⊥) 2ndorder polynomial fit [36,37] of real data.
The asymmetry amplitudes, extracted from the simulated
data by means of the same analysis procedure used for the
real data, were then compared with the model, evaluated
in each bin at the mean kinematics, to obtain an estimate
of the global impact of the effects listed above. The result
was included in the systematic uncertainty and constitutes
the largest contribution. It accounts for effects of nonlin-
earity of the model, as it includes the difference in each bin
between the average model and the model evaluated at the
average kinematics. The impact on the extracted ampli-
tudes of contributions [30] from the non-vanishing longitu-
dinal target-spin component was estimated based on previ-
ous measurements of single-spin asymmetries for longitu-
dinally polarized protons [38,39]. The resulting relatively
small effect was included in the systematic uncertainty.
A Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the frac-
tion of pions and kaons originating from the decay of ex-
clusively produced vector mesons, updating previous re-
sults reported in Ref. [40]. For charged pions, this fraction
is dominated by the decay of ρ0mesons and, in the kine-
matic region covered by the present analysis, is of the or-
der of 6-7%. The vector-meson fractions for neutral pions
and charged kaons are of the order of 2-3%. The z and Ph⊥
dependences of the fraction of pions and kaons stemming
from the decay of exclusively produced vector mesons are
shown in [16] for the two kinematic regions Q2< 4 GeV2
and Q2> 4 GeV2(the x dependence was not reported due
to the strong correlation between x and Q2in the data).
They exhibit maxima at high z and low Ph⊥. These con-
tributions are considered part of the signal and were not
used to correct the pion and kaon yields analysed in the
present work. However, this information can be useful for
the interpretation of the results.
In general, the non-vanishing amplitudes shown in Fig. 2
increase in magnitude with x. This is consistent with the
expectation that transversitymainly receives contributions
fromthe valencequarks.A nonnegligiblecontributionfrom
the sea quarks cannot be excluded, but is not expected to
be large due to the fact that transversity cannot be gener-
ated in gluon splitting. The amplitudes are also found to
increase with z, in qualitative agreement with the results
for the Collins fragmentation function from the Belle ex-
periment [24,25]. The results of Fig. 2 also show that the
π−amplitude is of opposite sign to that of π+and larger in
magnitude. A possible explanation is dominance of u fla-
vor among struck quarks, in conjunction with a substantial
magnitude with opposite signof the disfavoredCollinsfrag-
mentation function describing, e.g, the fragmentation of u
quarks into π−mesons, as already suggested in Ref. [17].
Opposite signs for the favored and disfavored Collins frag-
mentation functions are not in contradiction to the Belle
results [24,25] and are supported by the combined fits re-
ported in [22]. They can be understood in light of the
string model of fragmentation [41] (and also of the Sch¨ afer–
Teryaev sum rule [42]). If a favored pion is created at the
stringendbythe firstbreak,adisfavoredpionfromthe next
break is likely to inherit transverse momentum in the op-
posite direction. The string fragmentation model, the base
of the successful and widespread Jetset generator [43],
predicts such a Ph⊥ strong negative correlation between
favored and disfavored pions.
Under the assumption of isospin symmetry, the fragmen-
tation functions for neutral pions are assumed equal to the
average of those for charged pions. Factorization of the
semi-inclusive cross section results in the following isospin
relation for the Collins amplitudes for pions:
?sin(φ + φS)?π+
UT+ C?sin(φ + φS)?π−
− (1 + C)?sin(φ + φS)?π0
Page 6
whereC denotestheratioofthepolarization-averagedcross
sections for semi-inclusive charged-pion production (C ≡
UU). The extracted pion amplitudes areconsistent
with Eq. (5).
The Fourier amplitudes for K+are found to be larger
than those for π+at a confidence level of at least 90%
(99%) based on a Student's t-test including (not including)
the systematic uncertainties. On the other hand, the am-
plitudes for π−and K−exhibit a very different behavior,
the former being significantly negative, while the latter is
consistent with zero in the whole kinematic range. Here,
however, one should keep in mind that, in contrast to π−,
a K−has no valence quarks in common with the target
proton and sea quark transversity is expected to be small.
In interpreting the various features of the extracted am-
plitudes, and in particular the differences between those of
pions and kaons, the largely unknown role of several con-
curring factors should be considered. Among these are, e.g,
(i) the role of sea quarks in conjunction with possibly large
fragmentationfunctions; (ii) the variouscontributionsfrom
decay of semi-inclusively produced vector-mesons which,
based on a Monte Carlo simulation, are mainly ρ and ω
mesons producing pions (up to 37% and 10%, respectively),
and K∗and φ mesons producing kaons (up to 41% and
3.5%, respectively); (iii) the kT dependences of the frag-
mentation functions, which can be different for different
hadrons and can have an effect on the extracted amplitudes
through the convolution of Eqs. (2) and (3).
Up to this point, the discussion is based on Eq. (2) and is
thus valid up to twist-3. It is therefore interestingto investi-
gate the possible presence of twist-4 contributions. To this
end, the Q2dependence of the extracted amplitudes was
studied in more detail. To minimize effects arising from the
strong correlation between x and Q2in the data, the events
in each x bin were divided into two sub-bins, with Q2below
and above the mean value ?Q2(xi)? for the original bin (see
Fig. 3). However, due to the limited statistics it was not
possible to significantly constrain the twist-4 contributions
by fitting the data in Fig. 3 with various Q2dependences
(including the appropriate y-dependent prefactor of Eq. 2).
In summary, non-zero Collins amplitudes in semi-
inclusive DIS were measured for charged pions and posi-
tively charged kaons. These amplitudes can be interpreted
as due to the transverse polarization of quarks in the tar-
get, revealed by its influence on the fragmentation of the
struck quark. They thus support the existence of non-zero
transversity distribution functions in the proton and also
the existence of non-zero Collins fragmentation functions.
In particular, by comparing the Collins amplitudes of π+
and π−, it appears that fragmentation that is disfavored
in terms of quark flavor has an unexpected importance,
and enters with a sign opposite to that of the favored one.
In contrast to the expectation that the π+and the K+
Collins amplitudes should have similar magnitudes, based
on the common u-quark dominance, the amplitude for K+
is found to be significantly larger than that for π+. This

could be an indication of, e.g, an unanticipated behavior of
the Collins fragmentation functions possibly in conjunction
with a non negligible role of the sea quarks in the nucleon.
Collins amplitudes consistent with zero are measured for
π0and K−. These data should considerably improve the
precision of transversity extractions from future global fits.

Question: Is there any chance the Inspector Lewis series will have more new episodes? I have become a big fan of the lead actor and his new sidekick, despite having seen only one installment of the original Inspector Morse. Thanks for any information you can provide!
Answer: WGBH tells me that Inspector Lewis will be back with new mysteries next year, part of a very busy lineup that, as previously reported, will also include Kenneth Branagh as Swedish detective Kurt Wallander, plus the return of David Suchet as Hercule Poirot and, new to the role, Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple ...

Question: I've enjoyed reading the Maisie Dobbs mystery books by Jacqueline Winspear, and I thought I had read somewhere that the story had been sold to the BBC to be made as a series of movies. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find where I read that. My hope is that the movies will be made and will eventually be broadcast on my local PBS station as part of the Mystery! series. Kind of a long shot, I know. I also know from reading your columns (which I enjoy very much, thank you) that you know a little something about the Mystery! series. Have you heard anything about the possibility of these movies being made?
Answer: At the moment, I'm told there are no immediate plans to bring these stories to the Mystery! franchise. Which isn't to say a series isn't being developed from these books (I have no information on that), and there's no question it would be a great fit, especially for fans of the Foyle's War series. (For those not yet in the loop, the Maisie Dobbs novels are about a female

Question: I am a huge fan of PBS' Masterpiece Theatre/Mystery! series. One of my favorites is The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. Sharon Small is excellent as Barbara Havers, and her chemistry with Nathaniel Parker as Inspector Lynley is one of the best on TV. Series 5, which aired in the U.S. this year (2007), was definitely the best so far, particularly In the Blink of an Eye. It is a sign of good TV when one keeps thinking about a show, and this episode haunted me for days. I was very much looking forward to Series 6, but I've heard rumors that the show has been cancelled by the BBC. It's bad enough that the writers' strike is ongoing and that reality shows are taking over the airwaves. Now this show is gone for good? Say it ain't so!
Answer: My WGBH contact tells me that more Lynley episodes are on their way this summer — what actual season that constitutes, I'm not quite sure — but this will be the last batch. British series have a tendency to produce far fewer episodes than their U.S.

I'm beginning to think the fall season will come as a relief, a break from the congestion of summer's TV glut. Everyone's in the game these days, with a seemingly endless supply of new and returning shows on cable, while the networks keep launching reality concepts in hopes of finding the next breakthrough. (Sorry, CBS, but that Survivor rip-off Pirate Master isn't it.) Each week brings a fresh crop of contenders, so here's a sampling of the latest wave of the summer season, an eclectic mix of drama, reality and documentary. The good news? There's something for nearly everyone.

Question: Perhaps it's too soon, but do you have any idea which new series will be airing on PBS' Mystery! this summer/fall? As one of the few who choose to report on the quality television airing on PBS, you tend to be my source for this information every year. I, for one, hope there are some new Inspector Lynley Mysteries on the horizon! Thanks for your help.
Answer: You're in luck. I checked, and PBS was ready to release the titles for their "Summer of Mystery!" Starting June 3, here's what to look forward to: two new episodes of Jericho (the Robert Lindsay series, not the postapocalyptic thriller on CBS) and four new episodes each of Foyle's War (one of my faves), Miss Marple and, yes, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries ...

Current Legislative Challenges
Internet Resources for Respect Life Ministry and Related Issues
Respect Life Ministry in the Albany Diocese
USCCB's 2014-15 Respect Life Program
The Respect Life Program begins anew each year on Respect Life Sunday, the first Sunday in October (this year, October 5th). The program is highlighted in liturgies and marked by special events throughout the year. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities publishes a program packet each year to call attention to numerous human life issues. These materials are especially helpful for priests, parish groups and other organizations. While the physical packet of materials will be sent by Bishop Scharfenberger to each pastor/parish life director/Catholic school principal in the Albany Diocese shortly after they are received at the Pastoral Center, most of these materials are now available on the USCCB's website.
Our theme this year is, "Each of us is a masterpiece of God's creation," which was developed based off of a quote from Pope Francis' Day for Life greeting: "Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect."
This year's articles include adoption, miscarriage, post-abortion healing within marriage, poverty and abortion, advanced medical directives, and the increased commodification of children.
The popular liturgy guide will again contain materials for the 9 Days for Life initiative, along with other prayer/liturgical resources. However, this year, the liturgy guide will not be printed, but the resources will be available to download from the conference's website. Many of the other materials will also be available in both Spanish and English online.

March for Life's Youth Rally & Mass
For the past 19 years the Archdiocese of Washington has hosted a Youth Rally and Mass for Life on the morning of the March for Life (which will be on Thursday, January 22, 2015). Each year the event continues to grow and for the past five years all groups were required to have tickets for the event. Once again the Archdiocese of Washington will require all tickets to be requested by dioceses, rather than by individual groups.
Consequently, any group from any parish or school within the boundaries of the Albany Diocese that wishes to attend the Youth Rally & Mass on January 22 will need to submit their ticket requests through the Albany Diocese's Office of Evangelization, Catechesis and Family Life. The OECFL, in turn, will submit our diocese's entire ticket request to the Washington Archdiocese. If your parish/school would like to be represented at the Youth Rally, please contact Stephen Mawn at the OECFL via email at firstname.lastname@example.com prior to September 15th so he can provide you with additional information.
Holy Hours for Life
Broadalbin – Every Tuesday evening from 7-8pm at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel in St. Joseph's Rectory.
Rotterdam – Every Third Tuesday from 7-8pm at St. Gabriel's Church, 3040 Hamburg Street.
Rachel's Vineyard Retreats are offered throughout the United States and internationally. They have been a source of reconciliation and healing for thousands of women and men who have suffered from the pain of an abortion. Information about local retreats sponsored by Rachel's Vineyard of Albany.

Rock Hill police arrested two men in separate marijuana-related incidents on St. Patricks Day, according to reports.
Police responding to a call about a suspicious person on Waterford Glen Way arrested Joshua Taylor Stewart, 17, of Rockwell N.C. He was charged with marijuana possession with intent to distribute after police found him with more than 30 grams of the drug on Monday morning.
According to the report, officers found 7 grams of marijuana and a pipe in Stewarts front pocket, then found a shoe box containing 27 grams of the drug in tin foil packets and a clear bag.
Stewart told police he was visiting his girlfriend and were planning to smoke the drug at her home. Officers also confiscated more than $100 in cash and a cell phone from Stewart, who was booked at Moss Justice Law Center.
Also Monday, police arrested Keith James Hardy, 27, after officers recovered more than 25 grams of the drug in his car. He was charged with marijuana possession with intent to distribute.
The report states that police stopped Hardy after he was speeding near the Target on Springsteen Road in Rock Hill. The officer noticed two marijuana cigarettes on the floor of the car by Hardys feet.
Police found a Crown Royal bag with 25 grams of marijuana and a black digital scale underneath the drivers seat. A review of Hardys cell phone also showed he had sent several text messages advertising the various grades and amounts of marijuana he had for sale including pine, reggie, and loud marijuana.
More than $100 in cash was also seized from Hardy.

text: feeding my love of words.... Main Entry: adapt Pronunciation: &-'dapt, a- Function: verb Etymology: French or Latin; French adapter, from Latin adaptare, from ad- + aptare to fit, from aptus apt, fit transitive senses : to make fit (as for a specific or new use or situation) often by modification intransitive senses : to become adapted - adapt·ed·ness noun synonyms ADAPT, ADJUST, ACCOMMODATE, CONFORM, RECONCILE mean to bring one thing into correspondence with another. ADAPT implies a modification according to changing circumstances (adapted themselves to the warmer climate). ADJUST suggests bringing into a close and exact correspondence or harmony such as exists between parts of a mechanism (adjusted the budget to allow for inflation). ACCOMMODATE may suggest yielding or compromising to effect a correspondence (accommodated his political beliefs in order to win). CONFORM applies to bringing into accordance with a pattern, example, or principle (refused to conform to society's idea of morality). RECONCILE implies the demonstration of the underlying compatibility of things that seem to be incompatible (tried to reconcile what they said with what I knew). Adapt is a very "human" word: to make fit. What seems most interesting is that the very meaning of the word seems to require other words to help make it fit within our minds. Do words without layers of tone have as much meaning? Are words like color? Do they require light and technique to really glow, to really become pure thoughts? Within each life there are great tales of adapting. It is a fact of our society that things will change, circumstances can drive our lives into realms never considered before. What makes me proudest is that no matter what, I adapt. Somewhere in the last 38 years I became flexible which is in direct conflict with my stubborn nature. RECONCILE implies the demonstration of the underlying compatibility of things that seem to be incompatible . ...the underlying compatibility of things that seem to be incompatible... This defines me. This scattering of words is the very essence of me. This defines the constant battle within....my conforming and the railing against that confirmation. ckays1967 at 5:53:00 AM PDT Link to this entry This entry has 7 comments: (Add your own) {{{{ Hugs }}}} V Comment from deabvt - 9/19/05 6:39 AM {{{ Christine }}} Ah yes, it defines us all, the battle within.

Lisa :-] http://journals.aol.com/mlraminiak/ComingtotermswithMiddleAge/ Comment from lisaram1955 - 9/14/05 8:18 AM This is a very profound entry, Christina. May I be more openminded to my friends that suffer with illnesses. My Hubby's cousin's wife suffers from Lupus along with a host of other ailments. I pray that God will help me know what to do for my friends without doing something to make an ass of myself. So many folks are so not understanding about this sort of thing. I don't want to be that kind of person. Blessings! Susan http://journals.aol.com/rjet33/CountryLivingSouthernStyle Comment from rjet33 - 9/14/05 6:36 AM It's amazing how easily others will use these words. Still what is more amazing is that when they use such words they really have no idea what stamina of mind it takes to "adapt." As others adapt to the times, we much adapt to severe changes in lifestyle because of chronic illnesses. I just this morning had a conversation with a friend who told me they are meeting a person with MS soon. The person told of his MS "struggles." My friend tried to equate this with his own health issues. Which, yes, are painful, but in no way similiar to what is suffered by those with MS or such related health problems. I tried to put it in words for my friend, but he was unable to understand the difference. All he kept saying was that everyone has their "things." This is the same person who has assured me that I would get better if I just learned to "adapt." I do, feel sorry for my friend. Because as much as they have witnessed my illness, there is no understanding. None at all. Love bunches, LuAnne Comment from thebaabee - 9/14/05 6:17 AM Words do have many layers. They are the expression of truth, power, influence, prestige, and morality. They shift and sway with the times. A villified person now, may be a saint in fifty years as the context and influence of words change definitions and ideals. They are layered and the only tools we have to track history.

It may work just by running an extension from the existing socket and plugging in a phone.
Hi ,
We have an old type PBX phone system at the school . We currently have a line going into the office that works fine . Basically what we want is to have two phones going off the same line ( we don't want them independent , we just want to share the line so say if the phone rings either one of us can answer from each phone ) .
The Phone guy said its possible with some type of PBX line splitter/amplifier type device but searching has come to no avail ! .
Any one done this in there office ? and know what we need ?
Many thanks
It may work just by running an extension from the existing socket and plugging in a phone.
It all depends if the line is analogue or digital? If the latter than it's a no go, you will need another line and the PBX will have to be set up to ring both lines.
If the other, then a BT splitter: bt splitter | eBay, will do, and an extension cable
With our digital PBX (BT Meridian/Norstar) you can just use an ordinary splitter, both phones then work from that extension.

About the Book:
About the Author:
My Opinion:
I have only recently become a fan of American historical fiction and it is books like this that keep me wanting to know more. The early Puritan colonists in this country lived a harsh life in difficult conditions and while I have read many books looking at the history of England during the period of time from Charles I through Cromwell through the Restoration of Charles II I had never once considered the history of the colonists during that time period.
This enthralling novel takes me into the life of one of Cromwell's soldiers who now lives is Massachusetts colony. He and others like him are protected by a spy ring that rivals that of King Charles II. Thomas Carrier is living in the house of one of these men where he meets Martha, a cousin to the man's wife. Their love story is the heart of the book.
And it's a love story to savor; love does not come easy to these two as neither one has had an easy life. But their love builds slowly through looks and conversations and you just know that they will have an abiding love.
Ms. Kent spares nothing in her tale of colonial life; it was a harsh time and this is at times a harsh tale but it is so worth reading. The characters are fascinating and this story of her ancestors kept my interest from the first page to the last. I have her first book, The Heretic's Daughter on my shelf and I look forward to reading it to continue the tale of Martha and Thomas.

Same-sex-marriage opponents concede in Washington
Opponents of same-sex marriage have conceded, saying it appears that Referendum 74 will pass.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Opponents of same-sex marriage have conceded, saying it appears that Referendum 74 will pass.
Approval of the measure will make Washington the ninth state to allow gay marriage and the third to do so this week. Same-sex marriage is also legal in the District of Columbia.
"With added results showing that we have not closed the gap, it now appears clear that Referendum 74 will be narrowly approved," said Joseph Backholm, chairman of Preserve Marriage Washington, which worked to defeat the measure.
"We are disappointed in losing a tough election battle on marriage by a narrow margin. But while we are disappointed, we are not defeated."
After crunching their own numbers, backers of the measure on Wednesday declared victory.
Backholm pointed out that Washington is a very liberal state and one of the most secular in the country. He said the polling indicated 80 percent of "unchurched" voters approved of Referendum 74.
Their opponents, he said, had a substantial financial advantage and outspent his campaign by $10 million.
In addition, his campaign was up against what he called "Washington's political establishment and news media — with The Seattle Times taking the unprecedented step of not just endorsing the referendum, but of actively campaigning for its approval."
In what it called a pilot project to test the effectiveness of political advertising in the newspaper, The Seattle Times Co. last month offered discounted political ads to the campaign to approve same-sex marriage.
The ads were an in-kind contribution to the Washington United for Marriage campaign. The newspaper's editorial board also endorsed Referendum 74.
Backholm said despite the loss, "we ran a strong campaign that we can be proud of — a campaign based on honesty and integrity.
"It's a cause worth fighting for, and we will continue to educate citizens and policymakers on the timeless truth that real marriage is the union of one man and one woman," he said.
In the most recent ballot count in Washington Wednesday evening, Referendum 74 was narrowly winning approval, 52 percent to 48 percent.
With incoming ballots from King County increasingly favoring the measure — 67.6 percent Wednesday, up from 65.5 percent on Tuesday evening — it seemed unlikely gay-marriage opponents would gain enough votes to win.
Just to catch up, they would need 54 percent of the estimated 1 million remaining ballots statewide, and more than a third of those are expected to come from King County.
Said Zach Silk, campaign manager for initiative proponents Washington United for Marriage: "This is an historic day for Washington, an historic day for our country and, most of all, for families across the state who have dreamed of this day."

Deputy Jake Kuredjian will be honored by local patrols.
Sunday, August 31, will mark seven years since Deputy Hagop
"Jake" Kuredjian paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving and
protecting the residents of the Santa Clarita Valley.
Jake was shot and killed in the line of duty while assisting
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms during the service of a search
warrant on Friday, August 31, 2001,
in Stevenson Ranch. He was 40 years old.
Jake, was a 17-year veteran of the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department and had been assigned to the Santa Clarita Sheriff's
Station since 1995. He was an avid motorcyclist and after serving in many
other capacities at the station had been assigned as a motor officer in the
Santa Clarita Valley for six months prior to his untimely death.
In 1989, Deputy Kuredjian was awarded the Sheriff's
Department's Gold Meritorious Conduct Medal by former Sheriff Sherman Block for
saving the life of a woman clinging to a small tree branch atop a cliff in the City
of Malibu.
Jake is survived by his mother, two brothers and his
girlfriend. Sheriff's deputies remember Kuredjian as a kind hearted,
"happy-go-lucky" man who brought a smile to the face of anyone he
came in contact with.
As a tribute to their fallen comrade, all on-duty deputies
assigned to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station will wear long sleeve
Class "A" uniforms with a tie, and drive with their headlights on during
daylight hours on Sunday, August 31,
Sheriff's officials are encouraging residents of the Santa
Clarita Valley to join them in this tribute by also using headlights during
daylight hours. On-duty deputies will also wear black memorial bands on
their badges, will view Jake's memorial video, and will file past his memorial
picture prior to going into service for their shift to protect the Santa
Clarita Valley. Flowers will also be placed at Jake's picture.
On Wednesday, October 6, 2004, Los Angeles County Supervisor
Michael D. Antonovich, Fifth Supervisorial District, joined District Attorney
Steve Cooley; Sheriff Lee Baca; Greg Williams, President of Newhall Land and
Farm; Garo and Raffi Kuredjian, Deputy Jake Kuredjian's brothers; and Mrs.
Kuredjian, Jake's mother in a ceremony to dedicate Jake Kuredjian Park at 26265
Pico Canyon Road, Stevenson Ranch, which was created to honor the memory of
Jake. A Newhall Street
was also named after Jake.
Visit the
Deputy Hagop "Jake" Kuredjian Memorial Web page here.
"On Friday,
August 31, 2001, the sunshine seemed to dim, laughter faded away
and there was a little less joy in the world because Deputy Hagop 'Jake'
Kuredjian was taken from us. A deranged man wielding a rifle took his life, in
a brief moment of time, leaving his family and an army of friends to mourn his
In the short time since his tragic death at 40 years old, I
have been overwhelmed by the stories of how much life Jake packed into the
relatively short time he was with us. If friends were counted as income, Jake
was one of the richest men in the world!
While we can't help but grieve his passing, I am determined
to remember that million dollar smile and the fact he would give the shirt off
his back to help a family member, friend or stranger.
Let us remember Jake enjoying a good prank, telling a joke
or riding down the road on his Harley. Please never forget that Jake willingly
put his life at risk to come to the aid of residents and law enforcement
personnel who were in peril.
Most of all, if you have not already done so, thank God for
sharing Jake with us, even if just for a little while."
– Lee Baca, Sheriff

December 19, 2014
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- A jury has acquitted a man who was granted a retrial after spending more than 15 years on Tennessee's death row in the fatal shooting of a Chattanooga pharmacist in 1985.
Jurors agreed with defense attorneys who said 55-year-old Michael Lee McCormick was lying when police secretly recorded his confession.
McCormick was convicted in 1987 in the Valentine's Day slaying of an acquaintance, Donna Jean Nichols, 23.
His retrial was based on an appeals court deciding that he had inadequate defense counsel at the trial where a jury sentenced him to death in 1988. DNA test results in 2001 showed that a hair used to place him at the scene of the killing could not be his.

Henriad is a common title used by scholars for Shakespeare's second historical tetralogy, comprising Richard II; Henry IV, Part 1; Henry IV, Part 2; and Henry V.[1][2] Although it was the second tetralogy to be written and performed, the subject matter comes chronologically before the first tetralogy. The term derived from the Classical epics the Iliad and Aenead.
While it is not known whether Shakespeare conceived of the plays as a cycle, these plays are often interpreted and performed in relation to each other, since they represent a continuous period of English history using recurring characters and including direct references to previous plays. References to these four plays as the Henriad can be found on TV and scholarly literature.[3][4][5][6]
The scope of the term Henriad, however, is up for debate; that is, some scholars include Shakespeare's first tetralogy, comprising plays Henry VI, Part 1; Henry VI, Part 2; Henry VI, Part 3; and Richard III in the Henriad. Though The Merry Wives of Windsor is set in the same period of history and includes many of the Henriad characters, it is typically seen as a separate work.[7]

The mini lights are just what I was looking for. I ordered 25 expecting some of them to not work since they were so reasonable and there was only one string that the lights were a little week. I will definately use you again. They also arrived very quickly! Thanks.

Problem with sieve filters
I switched from courier to dovecot, removing all courier packages from Debian 6 and updating ispconfig.
Everything seems to be ok, dovecot is detected and configured, but when I add a filter to an email account, it adds a maildrop filter instead a sieve filter.
I've deleted the maildrop plugin from plugins-enabled, but I still have the same problem.
What should i do to make ispconfig use sieve filters?
Thank you,
I found the solution
I changed the configuration in the server table in mysql.
Updated the config these two lines:
