|The Necessity of Witness: Stanley Hauerwas's Contribution to Systematic Theology
The role of witness is a recurring theme in the work of Stanley Hauerwas: it is through enacting the truth in a world of lies, through seeking peace in a world of violence, that witnesses show who God is, who we are, and what the world is like.
The Necessity of Witness is a study of Hauerwas and his fascinating but complex understanding of witness. Ariaan W. Baan argues that Hauerwas's approach makes a significant contribution to current debates in systematic theology on the relation between truth and life. Reading Hauerwas can be a precarious adventure. His rhetoric is overwhelming, but his argument is not always crystal clear and carefully formulated. With the help of semiotic and philosophical analysis and biblical exegesis, Baan articulates Hauerwas's intuitions, fills some of the gaps in his argumentation, and discloses hidden biases. The results of this analysis sometimes surprise. Baan notes that unexpected pericopes in Scripture such as Isaiah and Revelation support Hauerwas's account of witness, and concludes that his work offers insight into how in our late modern society such diverse groups as martyrs and pop stars offer implicit witness through their lives.

"Hauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction", by Nicholas M. Healey (2014)
|Hauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction by Nicholas M. Healey.
Stanley Hauerwas is one of the most important and robustly creative theologians of our time, and his work is well known and much admired. But Nicholas Healy -- himself an admirer of Hauerwas's thought -- believes that it has not yet been subjected to the kind of sustained critical analysis that is warranted by such a significant and influential Christian thinker. As someone interested in the broader systematic-theological implications of Hauerwas's work, Healy fills that gap in Hauerwas: A (Very) Critical Introduction.
After a general introduction to Hauerwas's work, Healy examines three main areas of his thought: his method, his social theory, and his theology. According to Healy, Hauerwas's overriding concern for ethics and church-based apologetics so dominates his thinking that he systematically distorts Christian doctrine. Healy illustrates what he sees as the deficiencies of Hauerwas's theology and argues that it needs substantial revision.
Approaching the End: Eschatological Reflections on Church, Politics, and Life (2013)
|Approaching the End: Eschatological Reflections on Church, Politics, and Life
In this book Stanley Hauerwas explores the significance of eschatological reflection for helping the church negotiate the contemporary world.
In Part One, "Theological Matters," Hauerwas directly addresses his understanding of the eschatological character of the Christian faith.
In Part Two, "Church and Politics," he deals with the political reality of the church in light of the end, addressing such issues as the divided character of the church, the imperative of Christian unity, and the necessary practice of sacrifice. End, for Hauerwas, has a double meaning -- both chronological end and end in the sense of "aim" or "goal."
In Part Three, "Life and Death," Hauerwas moves from theology and the church as a whole to focusing on how individual Christians should live in light of eschatology. What does an eschatological approach to life tell us about how to understand suffering, how to form habits of virtue, and how to die?

Unsettling Arguments: A Festschrift on the Occasion of Stanley Hauerwas's 70th Birthday
| Unsettling Arguments: A Festschrift on the Occasion of Stanley Hauerwas's 70th Birthday
by Charles R. Pinches, Kelly S. Johnson, and Charles M. Collier.
Cascade Books (July 15, 2010).
"Stanley Hauerwas is a public provocateur, a ravenous reader, a restless wrestler with the truth, and an eccentric devotee of baseball, murder mysteries, and liturgically-shaped discipleship. But most of all is he is a devoted, demanding, and dogged academic father to dozens of doctoral students. The breadth of his character takes a community to display. Here, more than ever before, that community of character does in public what Hauerwas and his students do best: tussle, and refine, and introduce new interlocutors, and dismiss out of hand, and rephrase more charitably, and rediscover ancient wisdom, and go back to Aquinas, and quote Barth, and dismantle platitudes, and unsentimentally face the gift and demands of Christ for church, academy, and politics today. This is a work of love turned into a call to renewal, a family reunion transformed into a symposium, a tribute in the guise of a challenge. Admirers and critics of Hauerwas will be enriched by these compelling essays, an ordered array of disagreements in love."

War and the American Difference: Theological Reflections on Violence and National Identity (2012)
| War and the American Difference: Theological Reflections on Violence and National Identity
How are American identity and America's presence in the world shaped by war, and what does God have to do with it? Esteemed theologian Stanley Hauerwas helps readers reflect theologically on war, church, justice, and nonviolence in this compelling volume, exploring issues such as how America depends on war for its identity, how war affects the soul of a nation, the sacrifices that war entails, and why war is considered "necessary," especially in America. He also examines the views of nonviolence held by Martin Luther King Jr. and C. S. Lewis, how Jesus constitutes the justice of God, and the relationship between congregational ministry and Christian formation in America.
Hannah's Child: A Theologian's Memoir
| Hannah's Child: A Theologian's Memoir
A loving, hard-working, godly couple has long been denied a family of their own. Finally, the wife makes a deal with God: if he blesses her with a child, she will dedicate that child to God's service. The result of that prayer was the birth of an influential — some say prophetic — voice. This is the story of Stanley Hauerwas, once named by Time magazine as the "best theologian in America." In this compelling memoir he gives a frank account of his own life interwoven with the development of his thought.
The story of Hauerwas's journey into Christian discipleship is captivating and inspiring. With genuine humility, he describes his intellectual struggles with faith, how he has dealt with the complex reality of marriage to a mentally ill partner, and the gift of friendships that have influenced his character. Throughout the narrative shines Hauerwas's conviction that the tale of his life is worth telling only because of the greater Christian story providing foundation and direction for his own.

Working With Words (2011)
| Working with Words: On Learning to Speak Christian
The crucial challenge for theology is that when it is read the reader thinks, "This is true." Recognizing claims that are "true" enables readers to identify an honest expression of life's complexities. The trick is to show that theological claims—the words that must be used to speak of God—are necessary if the theologian is to speak honestly of the complexities of life. The worst betrayal of the task of theology comes when the theologian fears that the words he or she must use are not necessary. This new collection of essays, lectures, and sermons by Stanley Hauerwas is focused on the central challenge, risk, and difficulty of this necessity—working with words about God. The task of theology is to help us do things with words. "God" is not a word peculiar to theology, but if "God" is a word to be properly used by Christians, the word must be disciplined by Christian practice. It should, therefore, not be surprising that, like any word, we must learn how to say "God.
Christian Existence Today
Christian Existence Today: Essays on Church, World, and Living in Between
Stanley Hauerwas begins this volume with a vigorous response to the charge of sectarianism leveled against his work by James Gustafson, among others. "Show me where I am wrong about God, Jesus, the limits of liberalism, the nature of the virtues, or the doctrine of the church," Hauerwas replies to his critics, "but do not shortcut that task by calling me a sectarian." The essays that follow explore in a lucid, compelling, firm, and provocative way the church's nature, message, and ministry in the world. Hauerwas writes on the church as God's new language, on clerical character, on the pastor as prophet, on the ministry of the local congregation, on grace and public virtue, and on the relation of church and university. Underlying Hauerwas's argument is his conviction that "the most important knowledge Christian convictions involve, and there is much worth knowing for which Christians have no special claim, requires a transformation of the self. Christianity is no 'world view,' not a form of primitive metaphysics, that can be assessed in comparison to alternative 'world views.' Rather, Christians are people who remain convinced that the truthfulness of their beliefs must be demonstrated in their lives. There is a sense in which Christian convictions are self-referential, but the reference is not to propositions but to lives."
Cross-Shattered Church: Reclaiming the Theological Heart of Preaching (2009)
Cross-Shattered Church: Reclaiming the Theological Heart of Preaching
In this work, eminent theologian Stanley Hauerwas shows how the sermon is the best context for doing good theology. He writes, "I am convinced that the recovery of the sermon as the context for theological reflection is crucial if Christians are to negotiate the world in which we find ourselves." The book includes seventeen sermons preached by Hauerwas, which he considers his best theological work and hopes exemplify the work of theology. The sermons are divided into four sections: seeing, saying, living, and events. Titles range from Believing Is Seeing and Was It Fitting for Jesus to Die on the Cross? to Only Fear Can Drive Out Fear and To Be Made Human. Each sermon includes where and when it was preached and references relevant Scripture passages.
I have increasingly come to the recognition that one of the most satisfying contexts for doing the work of theology is in sermons. That should not be surprising because throughout Christian history, at least until recently, the sermon was one of the primary places in which the work of theology was done. For the work of theology is first and foremost to exposit scripture. That modern theology has become less and less scriptural, that modern theology has often tried to appear as a form of philosophy, is but an indication of its alienation from its proper work. I am, therefore, making these sermons available because I think they are not only my best theological work, but because I hope they exemplify the work of theology.
Living Gently in a Violent World: The Prophetic Witness of Weakness (2008)
Living Gently in a Violent World: The Prophetic Witness of Weakness (Resources for Reconciliation)
How are Christians to live in a violent and wounded world? Rather than contending for privilege by wielding power and authority, we can witness prophetically from a position of weakness. The church has much to learn from an often overlooked community--those with disabilities.
In this fascinating book, theologian Stanley Hauerwas collaborates with Jean Vanier, founder of the worldwide L'Arche communities. For many years, Hauerwas has reflected on the lives of people with disability, the political significance of community, and how the experience of disability addresses the weaknesses and failures of liberal society. And L'Arche provides a unique model of inclusive community that is underpinned by a deep spirituality and theology. Together, Vanier and Hauerwas carefully explore the contours of a countercultural community that embodies a different way of being and witnesses to a new order--one marked by radical forms of gentleness, peacemaking and faithfulness.
Christianity, Democracy, and the Radical Ordinary: Conversations Between a Radical Democrat and a Christian (2008)
Christianity, Democracy, and the Radical Ordinary: Conversations Between a Radical Democrat and a Christian (Theopolitical Visions)
In Christianity, Democracy, and the Radical Ordinary, theologian Stanley Hauerwas and political theorist Romand Coles reflect about possibilities and practices of radical democracy and radical ecclesia that take form in the textures of relational care for the radical ordinary. They seek to shift political and theological imaginations beyond the limits of contemporary political formations (such as global capitalism, the mega-state, and empire), which they argue are based upon both the denial and production of death.
Hauerwas and Coles call us to a revolutionary politics of wild patience that seeks transformation through attentive practices of listening, relationship-building, and a careful tending to places, common goods, and diverse possibilities for flourishing. Both authors translate back and forth across--as well as dwell in the tensions between--the languages of radical democracy and of trial, cross, and resurrection. Engaging each other through a variety of genres--from essays, to letters, to cowriting and dialogue--Hauerwas and Coles seek to enact a politics that is evangelical in its radical receptivity across strange differences and that cultivates power in relation to vulnerability.
The authors argue that there is a strong relation between hope and imagination, as well as between imagination and the encounter with and memory of those who have lived with receptive generosity toward the radical ordinary. Hence, throughout this book they think extensively in relation to specific lives and practices: from Ella Baker and the early Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee organizing efforts for beloved community and civil rights, to L'Arche communities founded by Jean Vanier, to contemporary faith-based radical democratic organizing efforts in dozens of cities by the Industrial Areas Foundation. Pushing and pulling each other into new and insightful journeys of political imagination, this conversation between a radical Christian and a radical democratic trickster spurs us toward a politics that acknowledges, tends to, and enacts the powers of the radical ordinary.
Cross-Shattered Christ: Meditations on the Seven Last Words (2005)
Cross-Shattered Christ: Meditations on the Seven Last Words
In Cross-Shattered Christ, theologian Stanley Hauerwas offers a moving reflection on Jesus's final words from the cross. This small and powerful volume is theologically poignant and steeped in humility. Hauerwas's pithy discussion opens our ears to the language of Scripture while opening our hearts to a truer vision of God. Touching in original and surprising ways on subjects such as praying the Psalms and our need to be remembered by Jesus, Hauerwas emphasizes Christ's humanity as well as the sheer "differentness" of God. Ideal for personal devotion during Lent and throughout the year, Cross-Shattered Christ offers a transformative reading of Jesus's words that goes directly to the heart of the gospel.
Performing the Faith: Bonhoeffer and the Practice of Nonviolence (2004)
Performing the Faith: Bonhoeffer and the Practice of Nonviolence
September 11, Afghanistan, Iraq--more than ever, this is a time for the church to be taking up the question of what, as Christians, our response to violence should be. In Performing the Faith, Stanley Hauerwas revisits the familiar territory of political nonviolence through discussion of the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer-Christian ethicist, theologian, and by some definitions, martyr. This book is an intriguing commentary on Bonhoeffer's bold claim that if our common life rests on lies and injustice, we cannot be a community of peace. Pastors, seminarians, and those interested in Christian ethics are among the many who will be interested in this new word from an unwavering, faithful voice.

The Peaceable Kingdom: A Primer in Christian Ethics
In this classic work, Stanley Hauerwas presents an overall introduction to the themes and method that have distinguished his vision of Christian ethics. Rather than survey ethical thinkers or quandaries he develops one straightforward account of a Christian ethic, systematically displaying ideas introduced in his previous works and emphasizing peaceableness as a hallmark of Christian life. This new edition includes an extensive Postscript in which Hauerwas discusses how he regards The Peaceable Kingdom twenty years after it was first published.

With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology (2001)
With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology
Stanley Hauerwas is a no-nonsense, confessional Christian theologian whose scholarship, sometimes disputed yet always demanding a response, has earned him a prominent reputation on the theological horizon. This fall, Brazos Press is proud to present With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology, Hauerwas's distinguished Gifford lectures at the University of St. Andrews (2001).Reviews
These lectures explore how natural theology, divorced from a confessional doctrine of God, inevitably distorts our understanding of God's character and the world in which we live. Hauerwas criticizes those who use natural theology to defend theism as the philosophical prerequisite to confessional claims. Instead, after Karl Barth, he argues that natural theology should witness to "the non-Godforsakeness of the world, even under the conditions of sin."
Stanley Hauerwas has good news for the church: theology can still tell us something significant about the way things are. In fact, the church is more than a social institution, and the cross of Christ, never peripheral, is central to knowing God. Whatever our native moral intelligence, the truth that is God is not available apart from moral transformation. Ultimately-and despite the scars left by modernity-theology must translate into a life transformed by confession and the witness of the church.

Stanley Hauerwas is one of the most widely read and oft-cited theologians writing today. A prolific lecturer and author, he has been at the forefront of key developments in contemporary theology, ranging from narrative theology to the "recovery of virtue." Yet despite his prominence and the esteem reserved for his thought, his work has never before been collected in a single volume that provides a sense of the totality of his vision.
The editors of The Hauerwas Reader, therefore, have compiled and edited a volume that represents all the different periods and phases of Hauerwas's work. Highlighting both his constructive goals and penchant for polemic, the collection reflects the enormous variety of subjects he has engaged, the different genres in which he has written, and the diverse audiences he has addressed. It offers Hauerwas on ethics, virtue, medicine, and suffering; on euthanasia, abortion, and sexuality; and on war in relation to Catholic and Protestant thought. His essays on the role of religion in liberal democracies, the place of the family in capitalist societies, the inseparability of Christianity and Judaism, and on many other topics are included as well.
Perhaps more than any other author writing on religious topics today, Hauerwas speaks across lines of religious traditions, appealing to Methodists, Jews, Anabaptists or Mennonites, Catholics, Episcopalians, and others.
Sanctify Them in the Truth: Holiness Exemplified (1998)
Sanctify Them in the Truth
Stanley Hauerwas has long argued against one of the hallmark assumptions of modernity: that the truth of the gospel can be discovered apart from its embodiment in specific communities of faith, and the habits, virtues, and commitments that define those communities. In this new volume, Hauerwas reminds us that for Christians there is no such thing as truth that is not embodied truth. The Christian life, he argues, is not about being in possession of "the truth," defined as a set of timeless and universal principles of belief and action. Rather, it is about learning and living the life of truthfulness toward God and one another. In other words, sanctification and truth - which stood together so naturally in Jesus' prayer in John 17 - have come unglued in the modern world. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and insights, including his own background in the Wesleyan tradition, Hauerwas sketches a blueprint of how the contemporary church must rejoin the two if it is to remain faithful to its calling.Reviews

Vintage, Rod, & Musclecar Parts Show Largest Growth At 2007 Sema ShowOf the 14 New Product categories open to exhibitors at the '07 SEMA Show, parts for vintage vehicles recorded the largest growth, increasing 17.6 percent from last year's entries. "Vintage" loosely refers to vehicles 25 years old and older, and the bulk of parts entered into New Products judging were for mid-'50s to mid-'70s vehicles, according to SEMA research. The growth in this category mirrors findings from SEMA surveys during the last two years, which reveals that the number of enthusiasts expressing interest in these vehicles, as well as subscribing to relevant restoration magazines, has grown 80 percent. Rounding out the top five growing new product categories were tools and equipment (14 percent), mobile electronics and technology (9.3 percent), styling and appearance accessories (6.2 percent), diesel products (6.1 percent), and luxury-vehicle accessories (2.2 percent). Although styling and appearance accessories narrowly edged diesel products in terms of growth, the number of enthusiasts that own diesel-powered vehicles surveyed by SEMA has risen by 20 percent.

Preppers Prep for Post-Election Riots
Some people long for the thing they dread. They get tired of waiting for it to occur. I'm not saying that hard-core preppers yearn for ye olde S to HTF. Well, maybe not to the point where they'd make it happen—although someone should discuss that with James Patterson. Anyway, equipped.org raises the prospect of a post-election riot and offers some timely advice. "Armed protection against a mob is much more effective if you have a group of defenders. A single person, or small family group, doesn't stand much chance against a mob, even if armed. Remember, they may be armed as well, and as we saw in the Rodney King Riots, they may be perfectly willing to use their weapons. And, nothing much will protect you against a fire spreading." Ultimately, it all comes down to . . . money. "Make sure your insurance is in good shape (check that it covers a riot) and get the hell out of there [riot prone areas] ahead of time with any irreplaceable belongings and records." Roger that.65

Poway mayor race could be a good one
Higginson, Cunningham, others may run
POWAY The city of Poway appears to be approaching its first competitive race for mayor in years.
Mayor Don Higginson, who has been a councilman or mayor in Poway since 1986, is running for re-election and will likely be challenged by two-term Councilman Jim Cunningham.
Higginson has made it clear for months that he intends to run, while Cunningham — sounding every bit like a candidate — has said he'll make up his mind within a few weeks.
"A significant amount of folks have asked me if I'm going to run and said they would support me if I do run, but I still need a couple more weeks to talk to people to make sure it's the right thing for me and the right thing for the community," he said.
For those who follow Poway politics, the possibility of a vigorous mayoral campaign is exciting.
"Having a choice for an elected position is beneficial for all of Poway," said Councilman Dave Grosch, who says he will not run for mayor but will seek re-election to his council seat next year. "To be able to choose between candidates livens the debates and gives prospective on a diversity of views."
Although the city was incorporated in 1980, it wasn't until 1990 that the mayor's position was elected by voters. Before that, the job was rotated among the members of the council.
Since then, the mayor has almost always been elected by large margins, with incumbents — like longtime Mayor Mickey Cafagna, who served from 1998 until his death in 2009 — easily gaining re-election.
The 2010 race was different. Higginson — who had been appointed mayor following Cafagna's death — ran against Nick Stavros. Neither candidate did much campaigning and just about everyone in town assumed Higginson would win easily. But Stavros came within about 1,500 votes of beating Higginson. The final totals were Higginson with 9,657 to Stavros' 8,138.
The result has led many Poway political watchers to think Higginson could be vulnerable in 2014.
He's been around a long time and change may be in the wind, they say.
Meanwhile Cunningham has been the most vocal member of the council since first being elected in 2008. He quickly became known to council watchers as someone capable of waxing on and on about every conceivable issue.
Higginson said this week he hasn't heard definitively that anyone — Cunningham included — is planning on challenging him next year.
"It's a little bit far out," he said. "It's not like Escondido, where Olga and Sam are running a year-and-a-half ahead" referring to the coming race for Escondido mayor between incumbent Sam Abed and Councilwoman Olga Diaz.
Higginson and Cunningham live roughly two blocks from each other in northern Poway. Both are lawyers. Higginson is senior vice president of the UPS Store Inc. Cunningham has a private practice that specializes in protecting the rights of police and fire union members.
Higginson is 58 years old; Cunningham 56.
Other potential mayoral candidates include Steve Vaus, who was elected to the council in 2010, the same year Cunningham won a second term. Vaus received slightly more votes than Cunningham in that election in a field of four candidates vying for two spots.
Vaus last week declined to say if he is considering thinking of running for mayor.
"I'm working on some projects I'm excited about... that's where I'm focused," he said. "The mayor's race, being 14 months away, is a decision for another day."
If Cunningham were to run and win, the council would have to appoint a replacement — or schedule a special election — to fill the remaining two years of his council term.

Larian Studios has taken to Kickstarter to help fund the latest game in the Divinity series, original sin. The reason for that is their desire to make the best game they possibly can. "There's a lot of potential in the game systems we've created so far, so we want to invest everything we can into pushing them further and unlocking their full potential," said Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke. "If we get the extra support from our fans now, I'm very confident that we'll be able to make something truly exceptional."
The money will be used to increase the dev team and put more content into the game.
Picture a modern version of a world not unlike that of Ultima VII, that can be explored either alone or with a friend, that sees you engage adversaries in tactical turn-based combat reminiscent of the great turn-based RPGs of the past. A world that is filled to the brim with choice and consequence situations, reactive NPCs, and a considerable amount of surprises. A world that captures the feeling of playing pen and paper RPGs with our friends. Then add the new stuff…" – Vision statement for Divinity: Original Sin
When making large-scale epic RPGs it often helps to summarise what you are trying to make in a couple of lines, just to ensure you don't lose focus during development. You can spend a lot of time trying to come up with these vision statements, but when we started making Divinity: Original Sin, it didn't take us long to come up with the one above. It's simply what we've always wanted to do. The only reason we haven't made this game before was that the following list never made it past the marketing departments of many a known publisher. Now that we are self-funding and self-publishing, we can get away with features like the following.
- Divinity:Original Sin is an Isometric cRPG.
- You can play in single player mode but also in cooperative multiplayer mode
- It's a real epic CRPG so even in multiplayer, you're engaging in much more than just combat and item fever. A nifty cooperative dialog system, a highly reactive world, a deep character development system and plenty of choice and consequence situations see to that.
- You can create your own RPG adventures with our powerful RPG editor and share or play them with friends
- Combat is very tactical. It is turn-based and features things like skill and spell combos, attacks of opportunity, action points and much more.
- Exploration is greatly rewarded.
- You can develop your character(s) to fit your playstyle using our classless skill and stats system.
- There are countless item interactions and item combinations waiting to be discovered.
- No Divinity game is complete without music composed by the brilliant Kirill Pokrovsky.

Whacky! But true... In the new song from Rakesh Roshan's upcoming superhero flick 'Krrish 3', Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan will be seen romancing co-star Kangana Ranaut.
The song 'Dil Tu Hi Bata' is a slow melodious track composed by Rajesh Roshan. The music is quite reminiscent of Hrithik's debut film 'Kaho Na.. Pyaar Hai' also directed by dad Rakesh Roshan.
What is unique about the song is that Kangana Ranaut, who looks pretty as she dances in the picturesque backdrop of Petra (Jordan), plays a lethal mutant Kaya in the film. While Hrithik Roshan is the superhero Krrish.
"For the first time playing a negative role... I have an unconventional look. I am sexy but wicked. I enjoy being called sexy," she told PTI in an interview.
Kangana's look for 'Krrish 3' is said to be inspired by Mystique from the X-Men series.
'Krrish 3' also starring Priyanka Chopra, Vivek oberoi and Rekha is set to release on Diwali (November 3) this year.

Hi guys and gals,
Did a search and found nada so there for this thread.
I watching NGC's Air Crash Investigation about Chalk's Ocean Airways Flight 101, and yeah, I know, you need both wings to fly (except the Israeli F-15 in '94?). But what happens when a wing breaks off? Does the wing, that is still attached, flip upward due to the increased lift on the side with the wing or down due to the increase weight?
Please check your spelling (press "Check Spelling" above)

Flash News & Analysis, 3-24: Who
Owns Martha Graham?
Protas Gets His Close Up, and Dancers Get Their Day in Court
"Can you yourself perform the Martha
Graham technique?"
--Dale Cendali, attorney for the
Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance, questioning Ron Protas
"What do you mean, perform?"
--Ron Protas, Martha Graham's heir,
currently suing the Graham Center to stop it from using Graham's name
"You have tried to elicit from Mr.
Protas some definition of her technique, without success."
--Federal Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum,
to James McGuire, lawyer for Ron Protas
"This trial is going to influence
us in our lives: If we can perform the Graham work, or if we should leave: We
are still young, we need to dance. That influences our lives now, not the past."
--Yuko Suzuki, Graham dancer
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2001 The Dance Insider
After nearly ten years as the artistic
director of the most famous modern dance company in the world, Ron Protas finally
got his close-up yesterday on the witness stand in Federal court for the Southern
District of New York, and he wasn't ready for it. And the dancers of the Martha
Graham company and ensemble finally got their day in court, as Protas was forced
to admit under oath that he could not perform the Martha Graham technique to whose
name he claims exclusive rights.
"It was about time that we fight
for a final ending of all this trouble," proclaimed a subdued Maurizio Nardi,
a dancer with the Martha Graham Ensemble, after the third day of testimony in
Protas's lawsuit to stop the Graham Center and School from using the names Martha
Graham or Martha Graham Technique, which he claims to own as Graham's principal
heir. When she died in 1991, Graham left Protas everything she owned. The center's
defense is based in part on questioning exactly what Graham owned, including the
claim that Graham granted the school the right to use her name in the 1950s, when
it changed from a sole proprietorship owned by her to a public not-for-profit
Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum signaled
her skepticism towards Protas's claim to the trademark for "Martha Graham Technique"
when she stated, before he even resumed testifying yesterday, "I have entirely
peripheral objections to the notion that a method of dance is trademarkable."
Protas filed suit in January, after
the school re-opened its doors, claiming the school did not have the right to
use the Martha Graham name without obtaining a license from the Martha Graham
Trust which Protas directs. Protas himself recently established a Martha Graham
School and Dance Foundation, whose plans, he says, include licensing the Graham
ballets to schools for $1 per year.
New York State attorney general Eliot
Spitzer has joined the suit as a Defendant-Intervenor, the idea being that the
citizens of New York have an interest and investment in the outcome of the case.
Much of Protas's testimony yesterday,
which began with examination by his lawyer James McGuire, consisted of trying
to document that Graham's name itself had been considered a marketable asset,
and that Martha Graham herself had tried to capitalize on it. But Cedarbaum appeared
reluctant to accept this line of reasoning.
In 1991, Protas said, the year she
passed away, Graham asked him to explore the possibility of a Graham fashion line
with a Japanese Kabuki artist. This testimony caused the judge to remark, "I don't
think that Martha Graham as a visionary force in fashion is at stake."
McGuire also sought to establish
that Protas was pressured into signing a 1998 agreement that created the trust
to license Graham's ballets to the Graham company and others. Protas singled out
former Graham development and executive director Todd Dellinger as indirectly
pressuring him into signing the agreement, by inferring that if he didn't, as
Protas told it, "Board members and Mr. (Theodore) Bartwink would go through the
will looking for loopholes... (and try to) get rid of me." Bartwink is the executive
director of the Harkness Dance Foundation.
The judge also noted that Protas
had been unable to define the Martha Graham technique. Addressing McGuire and
referring to Thursday's testimony, she reminded him, "You have tried to elicit
from Mr. Protas some definition of her technique, without success."
In her cross-examination, center
attorney Dale Cendali sought to establish Protas's lack of a dance background
and inability to actually perform the Graham technique.
"Ever work for a dance company before"
he became the Graham Center's executive director in 1992, she asked.
"No," answered Protas.
"You don't consider yourself a dancer?"
"What classes have you had, if any?"
"I had Ms. Graham instruct me, in
her home."
After comparing this testimony with
Mr. Protas's deposition, Cendali continued, "I take it you've never performed
in a Martha Graham work?
"No," affirmed Protas.
At this point, the colloquy took
on a Clintonesque, "It depends what is is" turn, as the attorney asked Protas,
"Can you yourself perform the Martha Graham technique?"
"What do you mean, perform?" Protas
asked. "I was taught the essence and spirit of her work."
"So you can't perform it?" she pressed
him a little later.
In seeking to establish the legitimacy
of its school, center attorneys are expected to call Stuart Hodes, the eminent
Graham dancer and one of her earliest male partners, and current director of the
Graham school.
One of the trial's lowest points
came when Protas sought to discredit Hodes, widely acknowledged as a legendary
Graham dancer and partner.
"Who is Stuart Hodes?" Cendali asked
"A partner of Ms. Graham in the 1950s,"
answered Protas.
"A principal dancer?"
"Yes, you might call him that. Ms.
Graham did not consider him a great dancer...." Maintaining that she had trouble
finding male dancers, Protas continued, "She took what she could get."
The judge admonished Protas not
to go there, and Cendali continued, "Do you feel Mr. Hodes is qualified to teach
Ms. Graham's technique?"
"I do not know."
At times yesterday afternoon, the
judge appeared to lose patience with Protas. After he thanked her out loud for
sustaining an objection from his lawyer, she scolded him, "Please don't comment
on my rulings."
The judge also actively questioned
Protas, asking him at one juncture to explain the intent of the school and foundation
he recently established. "What does this school and dance foundation do?"
It will "allow schools to do Martha's
ballets for $1 a year," among other things, Protas promised. "I'm deeply concerned
that at this (time) Martha's ballets are not seen.... For her work to lose two
years of not being seen is a crime. That's what (the foundation is) doing....
It's not to make a lot of money."
The Graham company suspended operations
late last May, citing financial problems, and has not performed since.
As the trial adjourned until Monday,
Graham dancers in attendance yesterday expressed quiet indignation at what they'd
"We gasped so many times," said Yuko
Suzuki, who dances with the Martha Graham Ensemble. "There's so many moments we
get upset during this trial.... I had a rehearsal with Mr. Protas; a couple of
times he stepped in. I learned nothing from him."
Protas, approached for comment yesterday,
declined to comment to The Dance Insider.
"When they talk about dance technique,"
said Suzuki, "it's a language -- like English, Japanese, Spanish -- which should
be shared by everybody so we can communicate with each other.... I've been taking
class at Graham since the school re-opened (in January), and I feel really great.
I've learned a lot of things." Her teachers, she said, include veteran Graham
dancers Christine Dakin and Terese Capucilli. "Who else could teach the Graham
technique? I've been here more than four years, and I've learned many things from
them.... If you can't demonstrate that technique, if you've never experienced
dancing it, you'll never understand it spiritually. You have to experience it....
The spirit comes after the dancing.
"We recognize this trial is going
to influence us in our lives: If we can perform the Graham work, or if we should
leave.... We are still young -- we need to dance. That influences our lives now,
not the past."

Is Carrie Underwood Quitting Music?
April 05, 2013 11:09 AM by Donna W. Martin
It's hard to believe it's been 8 years since Carrie Underwood won American Idol and kicked off a stellar career in country music. But there's something even harder to believe than that and it's the latest rumors that say she's quitting her music career. Say it isn't so! Could it be true? Take the jump to find out!
Earlier this week, in an interview with People, Underwood dished about her sweet and sexy marriage and all that was fine and dandy until she mentioned that she might one day quit her music career. What in the world brought this about?
Underwood loves music but she loves her NHL hockey player husband, Mike Fisher even more. In fact, she said she would quit music if he ever asked her to. "If Mike ever told me he needed me to quit, I'd quit." She explained, "When you make that promise to somebody, and you stand before God and your family and friends, you've got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work."
And that's exactly what they are doing. Despite the fact their careers keep them apart and she admits the distance can be a challenge; Underwood and Fisher's marriage is still going strong thanks to frequent communication and spending quality time together.
Underwood and Fisher will celebrate their third anniversary in July. And while we hope they celebrate many, many more in the coming years, we also hope there never comes a time when she calls it quits with music.
While Underwood's commitment to her husband is very sweet, the world of country music would suffer a great loss if she ever decided to call it quits. Tell us what you think. How do you feel about the possibility of Underwood quitting her music career? Are you a fan? And would you miss her? Sound off in the comments section below and let us hear your thoughts!

Mummy's boy FarrellJamie Foxx has revealed the secret to Colin Farrell success as a ladies' man - he is a mummy's boy.
The Oscar-winning actor, who is also renowned for his womanising ways, believes it is the Irish hellraiser's close relationship with his mother that makes him so desirable.
He said: "He's so close to his mum, sisters, parents - he is like a little boy. I think that's what the girls like about him."
Foxx has also revealed he has shared a number of wild nights with Farrell - who has reportedly bedded a host of famous beauties, including Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan - while filming new movie 'Miami Vice'.
The actor, who has just released his first album, has also predicted a big future for his co-star.
He told Britain's Radio 1: "He's a superstar in waiting. He is as great as he thinks he is. We've had some pretty wild nights out while filming 'Miami Vice'."

"Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire," said Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Helping the dreams of education burn brightly are Tulane University donors such as Warren Lichtenstein, who are making endowed scholarships their priority. Thanks to Lichtenstein, the $500,000 Steel Partners Foundation Challenge is being created to enhance scholarship opportunities.
Lichtenstein, who heads a successful investment fund as managing member of Steel Partners, LLC, attended Tulane College in the mid 1980s. He is challenging donors to contribute to endowed scholarships at Tulane. The importance of "lighting the fire" for scholarships is a crusade of Tulane's academic leaders such as Nicholas Altiero, dean of the School of Engineering.
"Endowed scholarships are a top priority for us because that's how we attract the best students, especially in engineering," Altiero said. "Engineering students are often not as affluent, and a lot are first-generation college students. Scholarships often are the only way they can afford to attend Tulane."
The university has more than 300 endowed scholarship accounts with an estimated book value of $65 million. Tulane, however, lags behind its peer schools in the size of its overall endowment and its ability to provide scholarships out of endowed funds. Altiero points out that donors interested in scholarships have a number of options. "There are so many different donor levels," he added. "A scholarship can be endowed for as little as $20,000, and then they can add to it over a lifetime."
Donors also can include scholarships in their estate plans. Endowed scholarship funds are created with gifts and exist in perpetuity. These gifts are invested as part of the university's pooled endowment. A percentage of the income generated from the investments is made available for scholarship use for students. Providing a full, named honor scholarship or fellowship requires $600,000 in an endowed fund, so that interest of approximately $30,000 is dispensed yearly. Half tuition is provided by a named founder's scholarship or fellowship endowed at $300,000.
A named president's scholarship or fellowship, requiring a $100,000 donation, can mean a partial scholarship or fellowship, a grant for study abroad or funding for a special program in the student's major. More information is available from Julie Nice, assistant vice president of university program development, 504-314-7380. How crucial are endowed scholarship funds to students?
"Without it I wouldn't have been able to finish," said Justin Adendorff, an A. B. Freeman School of Business graduate who finished summa cum laude in May and was one of the school's top scholars. Adendorff received the Garvin Shands Saunders Merit Scholarship his senior year. The scholarship was established in a bequest from the late Maridel Saunders (N'28, M'44).
For Greta Gartman, a summa cum laude graduate in art history from Newcomb College, scholarships made possible "a wonderful four years here at Tulane." During her senior year, Gartman received the Melanie Pulitzer Feldman Memorial Scholarship in Art, funded by friends and family in honor of the late Feldman, who attended Newcomb. "The endowed scholarship made me so much more confident--that someone else believed in me and said, "I'm investing in you as a person, and your education," Gartman added.
She is off for a two-year stint with Teach for America but eventually wants to be a museum educator. Tulane engineering professor Robert N. Bruce Jr. knows first-hand what scholarships mean to students. He has one named for him, thanks to donations by several of his former students as well as his sister, Jane Bruce Jenevein, and her husband, Patrick Jenevein, of Dallas.
Bruce, who graduated from Tulane in 1951 and has been a member of the civil engineering faculty since 1962, holds the Catherine and Henry Boh Chair in Civil Engineering. Jenevein (N'57) was especially pleased to honor her brother's name through the scholarship. "It was also a way for me to honor his and my parents. They worked so hard to educate us," she said. "I just think education is the most important thing for our country."

Junior Doug Mackay had 10 strikeouts in the Utes' win over Southern Utah Friday.
March 5, 2004
ST. GEORGE, Utah - The Utah baseball team scored six runs on 12 hits for a 6-5 come-from-behind victory over Southern Utah this afternoon. With the win, the Utes complete the sweep of the Thunderbirds and improve to 3-8 on the season.
Junior Doug Mackay (1-3) earned the win on the mound. He pitched 6.2 innings, giving up five runs, two of which were unearned, on four hits. He struck out 10 batters and walked two.
Junior Clay Westmoreland got his first save of the year. He threw one scoreless inning, giving up just one hit and striking out two.
The Utes got on the board first, scoring in the top of the first inning on a Tyson Olson RBI-double.
Southern Utah answered in the bottom of the first, taking advantage of a pair of errant pick-off attempts by Mackay, and plating three runs to take a 3-1 lead.
Utah scored another run in the top of the second on a sacrifice fly by senior Jared Pena, but the Thunderbirds extended their lead to 5-2 with two unearned runs in the bottom of the inning.
The Utes tied the game at five in the top of the third on a one-run double by senior Cort Wilson, an RBI-single by senior Michael Westfall, Jr., and a fielder's choice by TJ Floyd.
Utah took the lead in the sixth inning when Matt Ciaramella doubled to left center, driving in junior Trevor Eastman.
Westfall went 2-for-3 on the day with one run and one RBI, while Ciaramella was 3-for-5, scoring one run and driving in another. Eastman went 2-for-4 as the only other Ute with a multi-hit game.

The big news this weekend: Disney/Marvel's "Iron Man 3" opened in most of the world between Wednesday and Friday; its $195 million gross in 42 territories is running ahead of even last year's "number one global blockbuster "The Avengers," which initially grossed $185 million in similar dates.
The good news is that "Iron Man 3" hits American theaters next Friday, and not a minute too soon. This weekend stateside was abysmal. The top 10 only managed to gross around $75 million - 10 films in total grossing less than 40% of what one film did in the rest of the world. This was a big drop from last week's $96 million, and $92 million last year (as once again 2013 falls further behind 2012 to-date take.) Whether the U.S. totals next weekend will approach "Avengers"' $207 million last year (which is above the early estimates) remains to be seen, but anything close will sighs of relief industrywide.
Two new films, Paramount's "Pain & Gain" and Lionsgate's "The Big Wedding," both performed below expectations, while the holdovers did not make up the slack.
One encouraging note: Roadside Attraction's "Mud" with Matthew McConaughey placed 11th in just 363 theaters, with a wider release planned for next week. Stay tuned for full details in Arthouse Audit.
1. Pain & Gain (Paramount) NEW - Cinemascore: C+; Criticwire grade: B-; Metacritic score: 45
$20,000,000 in 3,277 theaters; PSA (per screen average):; Cumulative: $20,000,000
Michael Bay's least expensive film in many years ($26 million, with significant back-end participation for its principals in exchange for high upfront pay) opened to his lowest haul since "The Island" in 2005 opened to $12.4 million. Standing alone as the only young audience release this week, with two proven action stars (Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson) as further draws, this Miami-set true-life crime story with a comedic side fell a bit from its first to second day, suggesting mixed audience response. With "Iron Man 3" likely to take most of the business next week, it made sense for Paramount to take advantage of the lull this week. But the result, though much better than several action-star openers this years (including Wahlberg's "Broken City") falls far below its potential.
What comes next: This could struggle to reach $50 million in domestic gross, far less than the opening weekends for Bay's "Transformers" films.
2. Oblivion (Universal) Week 2 - Last weekend: #1
$17,400,000 (-53%) in 3,792 theaters (+9); PSA: $4,600; Cumulative: $64,700,000
The 53% drop is more than what a strong film should show on a second week, suggesting that this won't be around deep into May and that domestic grosses will peak somewhere around $100 million. Fortunately, international is about double the U.S./Canada gross so far for a combined $198 million so far, with China and Japan still to open.
What comes next: This should do $300 million or more worldwide before it's done, making this (compared to cost) another global Tom Cruise success, though not close to "Mission: Impossible" series level.
3. 42 (Warner Bros.) Week 3 ; Last weekend: #2
$10,725,000 (-40%) in 3,405 theaters (+155); PSA:; Cumulative: $69,079,000
Hitting more barriers to widespread success than its initial rare A+ Cinemascore suggested, "42" is still giving a solid account for itself as it heads to a potential $100 million domestic gross (which because of its baseball and American history focus will be most of its worldwide take).
What comes next: The unexpected interest in this film - not star driven, oriented towards adults and with an African-American story and relatively inexpensive cost - could lead to studios dusting off similar projects.
4. The Big Wedding (Lionsgate) NEW - Cinemascore: C-; Criticwire grade: B-; Metacritic score: 30
$7,500,000 in 2,633 theaters; PSA: $2,848; Cumulative: $7,500,000
Aimed at older audiences, with a veteran all-Oscar winning cast headlining this comedy (along with Katherine Heigl and Amanda Seyfried), this Lionsgate acquisition of a Millennium Films production confronted negative reviews, leading to a disappointing performance for what looked like an appealing venture.
Saturday night at least had a decent jump from Friday, suggesting some interest among its demographic, but this doesn't look at this point like it is in for a long run, despite its smart counter-programming date. However with its initial $35 million production cost plus additional marketing expense, this looks like it could be headed to a significant loss for all parties.
Director Justin Zackham (who wrote "The Bucket List") made one previous feature, "Going Greek," which Miramax acquired in 2001 with no significant theatrical release. This film is a remake of Swiss comedy "Mon frere se marie," which never got U.S. distribution.
What comes next: There is room for a comedy to thrive versus upcoming blockbuster releases, so the timing for this made sense. Unfortunately, it will need to rebound quickly to have any chance of overcoming these week opening numbers.

PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) or something else? Hoping there's an answer
Completely at a loss, not sure if this is normal for my 18month old boy or not. I have a four year old girl, and to say they are completely different is an understatement. So to be quite honest, maybe this is normal. My 18month old has had the worst tantrums since I can remember, even at an early age he would fight simple things like changing his diaper, but I know that can be normal and eventually he grew out of it until now. But the tantrums (over a handful a day) have never stopped, and I'm just so lost! I have done everything (we don't spank): time outs (which he does understand), trying to make a loud noise to snap him out of it, hold him, put him on the ground, give him a drink, rub his head, but nothing ever works. He is one of the sweetest kids, and has a very cuddly personality, but he can switch his attitude from happy to angry in a split second. I DRED putting him in the carseat bc of Ts. symptoms: Temper tantrums Difficulty sleeping Aggressive behavior Fearful/Anxiety

A Youtube video of a snake crawling onto the windshield of a moving van in Tennessee is proving to be an internet hit. Tony Fisher of Collierville told local stations the snake came straight up from the left side of the hood of his vehicle last week, as his wife Rachel was driving. In the video, the couple laugh in disbelief as the confused snake slithers up and down the van's windshield. After about a minute they become concerned they won't be able to remove it.
The snake eventually falls off the moving vehicle and onto the road.
More than 26,000 people have viewed the "Snake on Car" video that was posted online on 17 July.

Regarding your editorial "The Badminton Boys" (Feb. 16): Wrestling, the very first sport in the ancient Olympics, requires no ball, shoes, net or other fancy equipment. It simply pits one participant directly against another of equal size to see who is the toughest.
The objective of physically controlling the opponent by pinning his or her back on the ground requires might, speed, leverage, strategy and cunning, as well as having the mental toughness to step onto a mat alone, where all the flaws of the participant will appear to the spectators.
Participants of all shapes and sizes can compete, unlike most other sports, and both sexes have competed in recent Olympics.

A Sarcophagus from Antioch
|The sarcophagus shown
on this page can be found in the
Archaeological Museum of Antakya in Turkey. It is not terribly
important from a historical or art historical point of view, but it is
well preserved, and proves the prosperity of the city of Antioch in the mid-third century.
The sarcophagus is of the Sidemara type, which means that the first specimen of this type was found in the ruins of the ancient town of Sidemara (modern Anbararasi, not far from modern Konya). The name is slightly misleading, because the marble is from the quarries of Docimea, and the sculptor who made this sarcophagus must have lived somewhere near modern Afyon.
| The sarcophagus is about 2,5 meters long and 1,25 wide and high. The
lid is almost undamaged, although the heads of the two statues are
Three people were buried inside: a man and two women.
