Whatever their understanding, whatever their consciousness about what they are doing, they eloquently witness to the mystical prayer of the Church at the heart of the liturgy. If we were to ask how these contemplatives are able to pray this way, nothing of the art, architecture, preaching, chanting or liturgical practices suffices for an explanation. In fact, all these things are merely the fruit of something much deeper. What permeates their liturgies with such prayerfulness is their austere discipline of life, an asceticism they take with them into the liturgy. We are confronted with their continual faith filled effort at prayerfulness as that which allows their silence to be filled with the power of God's Word.
Many pastoral initiatives have been taken up to render the liturgy more intelligible with the hopes of instilling a more deliberately conscious participation. But is this kind of participation what liturgical renewal is really all about? St. John of the Cross's doctrine on ascetical practices when applied to liturgical participation indicates an even fuller and more active form of participation than we might imagine if we limit our concept of participation to only those activities of which we are conscious. His doctrine helps explain the Carthusian liturgy, why it is so intense and real. There is a deeper participation in Christ's priestly prayer, in his work of redemption, an intense participation that extends beyond the vague light of our conscious awareness. It is the realm of supernatural faith where yearnings of love lead our understanding to places with which it is totally unfamiliar. It is a theological habit of mind which unceasingly seeks God in complete trust and surrender to the saving presence of the Risen Lord.
In St. John of the Cross, the ascetical discipline of the Christian life is ordered what he calls the Dark Night. Just like the Carthusian's vigil suggests, he sees in this dark night all kinds of encounters with Christ which exceed one's own conscious awareness. It is not about anything we can experience. It is about being completely vulnerable to the Lord. If you have ever held the hand of a loved one struggling to pray in the grip of death, you know exactly what he is suggesting. That faith filled but agonizing silence is raised up by an aching desire to see the face of God. It is so deep, so heartrending, so solemn. Yet the one offering this prayer is barely aware of what he does. If he questions why the Bridegroom is delayed, he also knows that his hope will not disappoint. Similarly, the Carmelite Master describes a secret search of lovers one for the other in which heart-piercing glances and wounding touches are fruitfully exchanged for the salvation of the world. So important are such encounters for spiritual maturity, this Doctor of the Church orders his whole ascetical doctrine to them. Liturgical asceticism, the mental prayer we offer during the liturgy, is ordered to these encounters with Christ in the night of faith -- it is this kind of faith above all that will renew the liturgy.

Rays Best Non-Trade of the Season
Back earlier in 2010 when the Seattle Mariners put a "For Rent" sign squarely on the chest of starting pitcher Cliff Lee, the Tampa Bay Rays were quick to phone the Mariners and see just what they had to dangle in front of the seafaring squad to entice them to send the left-hander to another coastal town at the opposite end of the country.
There were more than a few speculations that the Mariners wanted a pitcher in return who was already Major League ready, or currently on the Rays 25-man roster. There was also a good indicator that the Mariners would be wanting possibly two infielders, one from the Rays stable farm system, and then possibly another MLB ready candidate.
Whispers were prevalent that the Mariners were seeking Rays rookie Wade Davis or possibly Rays farmhand (at the time) Jeremy Hellickson as a first point on the triangle of talent to secure Lee's services for the remainder of 2010. But Davis had begun to shown a more mature pitching style at that moment and was beginning to show his true colors and adaptability to Major League hitting when the deal was being considered.
Hellickson on the other hand has run into a few situations in his recent starts about that time and was still a very unproven MLB commodity. With neither of these Rays pitchers' solidly in the chatter between the two teams, this discussion was over quicker than it started. But who else might have been on the wire for the Mariners to consider? What other MLB caliber players or possible Rays farmhands possibly would have been plucked to complete a trade of this magnitude?
Rumors abounded all over the stadium that the Mariners were more than eager to solidify their shortstop position, and their attention went immediately to Reid Brignac. The young Rays infielder had developed a more power infused hitting stroke, and his defensive play had made him a valuable asset to the Rays not only as a left-handed option, but as a cog that could be popped into positions all over the infield.
Ray farmhand Matt Sweeney, who was acquired in the Scott Kazmir trade in 2009 was also seen as a possible trade addition as a future third base option for the Mariners and might be a year or two out of the Major Leagues with the Mariners, but would have to change positions to get to the same level with the Rays because of 3-time All Star Evan Longoria standing in front of him on the Rays depth chart.
Word was also circulating that Leslie Anderson, the former Cuban National team member was also being scouted as a possible future Mariners option at first base with both current M's Casey Kotchman and Russell Branyan being Free Agents in 2011. Options were plentiful, but the Rays also did not want to give up too much in MLB potential for a short rental property like Lee.
In the end, this possible trade came back to haunt the Rays as Lee eventually went to American League West divisional winner the Texas Rangers and solidified their pitching staff after a short adjustment period. During the post season, Lee has now extended his winning streak thanks to two remarkable performances again the Rays in Game 1 and Game 5 of the ALDS.
Hellickson and Davis should be key components for many years of a maturing Rays rotation and be two valuable right-handed options in the Rays pitching staff for at least the next 5 years. Reid Brignac could have developed enough in 2010 to possibly unseat incumbent Jason Bartlett and his possible 4.5 million 2011 salary and make Bartlett trade bait this off season/. Matt Sweeney is growing his power potential with every game he plays and should be a great power option possibly in late 2011 or 2012,possibly at Designated Hitter.
Anderson is going to play in the Arizona Fall League (Peoria Saguaros) to gather some more training and game experience with a possibility for a 2011 Spring Training invite to challenge for the Rays First Base position. All five of these players who were thought to be in the trade process between the Mariners and Rays for the limited services of Lee until the end of this season.
The Seattle and Rays management not liking the players pairings for Lee and then shutting off talks and then having the Mariners end up sending Lee to Texas might be one of the best deals this season for the Tampa Bay Rays. People argued at the Trade Deadline that the Rays might have been too picky or too silent and it cost us a chance to go deeper into the postseason.
In the end, the Rays front office's strict guidelines for a substantial return on their short term investment in Lee might turn out to be their hidden gold mine by keeping their stockpile of young talent.

It wasn't the arms that the Rays lacked down the stretch. It was the bats. And Cliff Lee don't hit.
Unfortunately at the trade deadline,the Rays were hitting and their starting pitching was in doubt.
That was the time you could not rely on James Shields and Jeff Niemann and Wade Davis were experiencing "shoulder soreness". It almost looked like the once strong point of the Rays was going to be flushed down the toilet.
Lee was looked at as a way to solidify that swirling water and provide an addeed cog in the machine that would not fail…..even if it was for a short time span.

Federal judges may be messing with Voter ID laws in Texas and Pennsylvania, but a new poll finds that the laws have strong support among voters.
Seven in ten registered voters give photo ID requirements at the polls a thumbs up, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll conducted between Sept. 8 and 12. Only 28 percent oppose the concept and just 2 percent are unsure.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down voter ID requirement if a lower Commonwealth Court judge finds it's difficult for all voters to obtain the proper indentifiication. A decision is expected by Oct. 2, about a month before the election.
The Texas voter ID law recently came under fire by critics who say it unfairly restricts voting. A federal three-judge panel in Washington, D.C. ruled the law discriminates against Latinos, the poor and other minorities.
The Texas law requires voters to provide one of five types of identification, which might mean shelling out $22 for a new birth certificate or finding a way to get to a Department of Public Safety office. Driver's licenses, passports and concealed-carry handgun licenses are acceptable forms of ID, among others. College IDs are not.
"The law passed allows Texans to use concealed carry permit and does not allow student IDs," said Lee Rowland, a counsel for the Brennan Center for Justice's Democracy Program. "By choosing those particular types of ID, the electorate that's going to be able to jump through that new hoop, it's going to have fewer students and incidentally it's going to have fewer voters of color."
But only about a third of voters agree, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott plan to appeal the Texas decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Chalk up another victory for fraud," Perry said in a statement after the court blocked the 2011 Texas law. "Federal judges subverted the will of the people of Texas and undermined our effort to ensure fair and accurate elections. The Obama Administration's claim that it's a burden to present a photo ID to vote simply defies common sense. I will continue to work with Attorney General Abbott to fight for the same right that other states already have to protect their elections."
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania will be a testing ground to see whether there's truth behind criticisms of voter ID law.
Here's what the CBS News/New York Times poll asked:
"As you may know, there have been efforts in some states to require voters to show a photo identification card to vote. Some people say this is needed to prevent people from voting who are not eligible to vote. Other people say such efforts are designed to suppress voting by minority voters. What do you think? Do you support or oppose efforts to require voters to show a photo identification card to vote?"

Chestertown Tea Party 10 mile & 5 K race
The millenium version of Chestertown's famed tea party race was run under perfect conditions in late May of 2000. A team of faculty, coaches and alumni all stepped to the starting line which was right in front of the Johnson Fitness Center at WC and took off at the gun. The finish line was right at Wilmer Park, next to the Lelia Hynson boathouse where WC men and women's crew teams train to beat the stuffing out of the competition. A beverage truck was situated right on the finish line, dispensing foaming cups of frosty post-race refreshment to thirsty runners. After the race, the runners went one block to the tea party to enjoy food, crafts, food, clogging demonstrations food, historic reenactments and, of course, food.

You may also elect to submit a final paper, should you have one, for consideration for publication in Sloan-C's Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks (JALN). These are the stated guidelines for the journal: papers should be full papers, which include scientific rigor and data. The results presented should clearly advance our field by providing new information. Papers that are purely anecdotal or have no research underlayment will not be considered for publication. Papers are typically 10 to 20 pages printed and conform to the guidelines for publication found at http://www.sloanconsortium.org/publications/jaln_main.
5. Does Sloan-C allow virtual presentations?
Sloan-C's policy on virtual presentations is that the lead presenter must register for and attend the conference on-site.

Sloan-C does not provide IT support or cover the cost of any additional technology required for virtual presenters.
6. Does Sloan-C allow virtual poster presentations?
Sloan-C's policy on virtual poster presentations is that the lead presenter must register for and attend the conference on-site.

If you are using a non-PC device to present, be sure to bring the appropriate adapters. If you are presenting using an Apple Macintosh computer, PLEASE remember to bring your video adapter – specifically, the adapter that converts your computer's video output to VGA. A VGA connector looks like the standard 15-pin monitor connector.
In addition, because of the idiosyncrasies of internet traffic, you should consider loading Web pages onto a flash drive rather than trying to call them up live. If you have technical questions or other A/V needs not mentioned above, please contact Sloan-C Conference Tech Support at email@example.com.
8. Does Sloan-C have a special room rate at the hotel for conference presenters and attendees?
Yes, Sloan-C has contracted for a special room rate at the Planet Hollywood Resort, where the conference will be held.

Please note that the release form asks the lead presenter for each live streamed session to upload a profile picture which will be used in the streamed session catalog. The size of the image should be at least 300-400 pixels wide (a few inches).
Beyond the release form, no additional preparation is required for live-webcast presenters. You will have a session chair at your presentation to introduce your session as well as monitor questions during the broadcast from virtual attendees and present those to you on their behalf during Q & A. Your session chair will make contact with you prior to the start of the conference.

Non-webcast sessions will have door monitors, who will report technical issues to the AV manager and collect session evaluations at the end of the session.
13. May I bring hand-outs for my presentation?
Due to the number of presentations, we are unable to make photocopies of any presentation materials, either onsite or prior to the conference. We encourage you to post your presentation and any support materials to the conference proceedings repository.

15. What should I do when I arrive for the conference?
- Pick-up your name badge at the conference registration desk
- Check the program book to verify your session time/room. Last minute changes are always possible.
16. I am presenting an electronic poster at the conference. How do I prepare for it?
- The electronic poster session runs 4:30pm-6:00pm on Wednesday, April 10. You may set up for your poster session in the Exhibit Hall anytime after 2:00pm. You will find signs on the tables in that area indicating in which space you should set-up your equipment. However, do not leave your laptop unattended at anytime in the poster presentation area. We recommend instead that you leave Information Session 7 sessions a little early to give yourself plenty of time to set-up your laptop for your electronic poster presentation.
- There will be two poster sessions at each 8' long counter-high table, with one presenter on each end of the table occupying a 3-4' space. When you enter the room (at this conference, it is in the Mezzanine exhibit area) to set-up, you will find a sign indicating the location of your session.
- A chair will be provided for the presenter, although don't expect to sit much - there is a constant flow of traffic as attendees flow through the room to visit the various presentations.
- Each presenter must bring their own laptop from which to present. The conference does not provide laptops for presenters. We will provide electricity to your table so that your device remains fully charged throughout the session.
- There is no right or wrong way to present your poster. There are no specific requirements, other than they be conducted electronically on a laptop or other electronic device (such as an iPad) large enough for an attendee to easily read the screen while standing next to you. No projector devices, please. There simply is no room for screens and the distance required to project clear images.
- In general, we recommend a short series of PowerPoint slides (no more than 5) that hit your key points and are visually appealing to draw attendees to your table. The poster session is 60 minutes long, so you will be starting and stopping the slide show repeatedly as attendees come and go from your table.
- Don't feel that you must follow that format, however. We've seen everything from a paperless poster presented as a blog http://sloanconsortium.org/conferences/2011/aln/online-career-services-blogs-eportfolios to an 11 slide presentation with an accompanying handout provided in a traditional "poster" format http://sloanconsortium.org/conferences/2011/aln/online-nursing-student-satisfaction-addition-audio-visual-feedback. Really, anything goes, as long as you are getting your facts and research communicated to attendees. An example of a traditional 5 slide presentation with nice graphics: http://sloanconsortium.org/conferences/2011/aln/practical-approach-collaborative-learning-initiatives-using-wiki-mediated-envir
- There will be wireless internet available during your presentation. Should an attendee show great interest in your subject and want to get into a deeper discussion with you, we recommend you have other materials (a longer PowerPoint, links to key internet sites, etc.) available and easily accessible.
- It is especially important for poster presenters to upload your poster presentation and any support materials (including handouts) to the conference repository prior to the conference. There are 20+ poster sessions occurring during this session, and attendees will want to view in the conference repository any posters they miss. If you have questions on how to "claim" your page on the website to do this, please contact Sloan-C Conference Tech Support at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Handouts can be uploaded to the repository. However, if you feel you must have some hard-copy handouts on hand, please print them and bring them with you. We are unable to print those for you onsite.
- Finally, please note that there is no laptop audio output provided in the electronic poster session. It is simply too loud to be able to use audio output of any type during your presentation.
17. How do I upload my presentation to the Sloan-C website for others to access?
We ask that you do this prior to April 1, 2013.

Hernandez offers depth, but needs innings
CHICAGO -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire admitted he's a little concerned about the layoff lefty Pedro Hernandez is enduring at the back end of Minnesota's rotation.
Hernandez was recalled from the Minors on April 7 when Cole De Vries was placed on the disabled list. He threw five innings in that day's start, then threw 4 1/3 innings in long relief on April 12. But because of the rotation setup and Minnesota's schedule, he's not expected to throw again until probably April 29.
"Ultimately things happen. He'll get innings in, he'll get to pitch," Gardenhire said. "We've got to find innings for him. We can't just let him sit there and expect him to start on the 29th. We've got to be able to, some way or another, get him innings. He's going to maybe have to come in in some different situations rather than just long [relief]."
On the other hand, it does give the Twins a bit of an insurance policy in the bullpen for the time being.
"With Hernandez out there too, because of the fifth-starter situation, we've got plenty of length in our bullpen to protect us if we have issues," Gardenhire said.

Pets killed in Manchester fire
Dog alerted homeowners, but did not survive
Fire destroyed a home in Manchester early Thursday morning and left two pets dead.
Fire District Chief Michael Gamache said the homeowner called 911 at about 4 a.m. and said there was a fire in his attached garage at 475 Sheffield Road. Gamache told News 9 that a bull mastiff in the home alerted the husband and wife to the fire.
Both people inside got out safely, but the dog and a cat died, despite efforts by firefighters to revive them using special oxygen masks.
The home is in a relatively remote area of town and so it took crews a little extra time to reach the scene. Firefighters tried to keep the flames from spreading to the home, but were unsucessful. The garage and home as well as a car in the driveway were all destroyed.
Gamache said the fire started in the garage where there was a wood stove, but the exact cause was still under investigation.

Non-identification – A Balanced Approach to Running
In the ChiRunning technique, we utilize the principle of non-identification to help you in achieving your running goals, whether to get started on a running program, improve your running technique, or PR your 10K.
Bottom line, non-identification requires that you get a grip on your ego. Ego is such a loaded word. Really, it's not a bad thing. It's a good healthy part of your psyche. However, when the ego runs the show, things can go out of whack. Non-identification doesn't ask you to drop your ego, just keep it in balance with other aspects of your self and especially with what your body has to say.
When the ego makes the choices without being balanced with the input of your body and being, your workouts and goals are probably out of balance as well. The ego is a two-sided coin … it can either inflate or deflate your sense of self. When inflated, it may demand that you run a 10K in 50 minutes when your body is really ready for a 56-minute run. This is a good recipe for running injury. When deflated, your ego might give in to the nagging ache in your knee rather than trying just a little bit more to learn to lean and therefore not strike with your heels, but midfoot strike instead. When your ego is deflated, you give up too easily.
Non-identification is the art of making healthy decisions and of seeing yourself from a balanced place without judging yourself. If you are defining your self worth by how well a run goes, either negatively or with an inflated sense of pride, then you are identifying with how you run. When you are non-identified, you evaluate your run, but not your self worth. You notice what you did well, what you need to improve upon and enjoy the process of learning and improving your running technique.
It doesn't mean you don't feel good about your accomplishments. As a matter of fact, when you are non-identified you may feel your accomplishments more deeply, more quietly, more profoundly. You may take more delight in the smaller things in your life. It also means that you don't judge yourself too harshly when things don't go the way you want. The voices of "I'm not good enough, fast enough, strong enough" will never help you accomplish anything.
Non-identification also means seeing the big picture of yourself. You are aware of your strengths, your challenges and your long-term goals. This knowledge helps keep you on track and keeps you from getting sidelined by the many lures of the ego.
To get to a place of non-identification, the Five Mindful Steps (from ChiWalking) are a great practice. First think of the issue about which you need to make a choice, then:
- Get aligned – stand up straight, feel your spine, feel your posture straight from your head to your feet (or tailbone if you are sitting). This will give you some stability and a stronger sense of self and focus. Get aligned with your big picture goal. Does this choice fit in with that goal? Get aligned with supporting your goal in the best way possible.
- Engage your core – You want to listen to "the mind" of your body. To do so, focus your mind on your gut. Literally feel the area just below your navel and in toward your spine and then engage that part of your body on a physical level for at least 20 seconds or more. Now, ask the question regarding the choice you have to make. Can you notice how the answer has a different feeling than when you just engage your mind?
- Create balance – Find the balance in your body physically by moving from foot to foot until you are balanced on both feet, then move your torso until you find balance in your body. Now, allow your mind to explore your various choices. Try them on and look at them from various perspectives. Feel what each choice feels like.
- Make a choice – From this place of alignment, engagement with your core and deep balance, you will be able to see yourself and make a choice from a non-identified, but healthy perspective. Your mind and ego will have had their input, but your body will have been included in the process.
- Move forward – Once you have made a choice. it is always good to take steps to move in your chosen direction. It will help instate the choice into your mind and body.
A few other ways to practice non-identification:
- Lighten up! Learn to laugh at yourself. If you can laugh at your foibles, you are most likely in a non-identified place where you are not truly judging yourself, and you're not taking yourself too seriously. Life is short…lightening up and enjoying "what is" is always healthy.
- Ask others. Get other people's opinions of what you should do and just listen to their ideas. You don't have to follow their advice, but be open to other perspectives.
- Try running for fun. If you're too serious about your running, event, or goals you will have a tendency to get over identified. Make sure you really do run at least one fun run a week and keep it that way…just for pure enjoyment.
- Keep a log. Writing down the results of our workouts and runs can help you get perspective and solve any challenges you are facing.
Great running form doesn't just come from good technique (although it's a great place to start). It comes from having a healthy mental attitude. When you practice non-identification you might not just become a better runner, you might become a better person as well.

Why do I have to create a macro for it?
/cast [help] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget] Righteous Defense
Wait, a little background.
There we were. Honorus, my Paladin, and Effilda, my wife's Mage. We're in the Hinterlands, and we're doing quests. We've wrapped a few up and decide, I decide, to tackle getting us hammers from the Altar of Zul. I'm level 46, my wife is 44. We work our way up the steps of the altar, it's not that easy. Those casters pack a punch. But, anyway, we reach the top. I see our target. A level 50, sigh, and a couple others. I assume they're the same level as what we're fighting already. Yellow, and not orange, to us. Ah, no.
To our credit we actually kill one of the three that come at us, the 50 we want to sheep is resisting my wife's spell, and we're borked twice. (Casters versus Pally sucks.) Having not played my Pally in a while, I don't find my "Lay On Hands" spell quickly enough. Or my Bubble shield. The wife's taking a pounding and I try to use Righteous Defense. But that means I have to untarget the enemies and target her to cast it. Upon which 3 mobs targeting her would switch to me. Alas, that doesn't work. Imminent death isn't the time for careful target selection. We try twice and then ride off, simply turn in the quests we'd done, ding 47 and 45 respectively, and call that a wrap.
I've now got the macro prepared.
But should I have to create a macro for this spell?
Casting Righteous Defense on a target will pull up to 3 enemies attacking that target and have them attack the casting Paladin. That sounds downright glorious, don't it?
And without a macro, there is only one scenario I can see how this is supposed to work.
You're an Old Style Healbot from pre-TBC. You've probably got a tank targeted for healing. Heal, heal, heal your plate armored heart out. I guess, when the crap hits the shinola and your tank is going down, you cast Righteous Defense, rather than a heal, and take up the mob. Why not? You've got plate. You're a tank. Right? But do you really want 3 mobs on you. This "taunt" ability works on 3 targets. Sure hope you brought your +healing plate because if that mob's taken out your tank, he's going to take out a Clothadin.
This wouldn't work if you were tanking, and you didn't have the macro, since you'd have a bit of a time trying to find your loose mobs target, since you've got a handful of them, right?, and then target that target, then cast your RD and get the loose mob back. Is the "target of target" frame supposed to make that easy? When you're faced with a mob, are you expected to cycle through enemies, find the one targeting something they shouldn't have targeted, retarget that target, and cast the spell?
You must be running a grayed out instance too, because in a Heroic, clothies are one-shotted. You don't have time to cycle through the mobs and check out what's up with them, their lives, what movies did they recently see, and what the hell they're pounding on with intent to kill. Yeah, the clothies need to let the Paladin secure Aggro, guarantee it, and it's easy enough for them to do with consecration, and at that point why even bother having a spell like Righteous Defense?
You know, in the old days, when you had 2 mobs to deal with, maybe. Those weren't the days of 4 Centurians and 1 Captain all loose on you. Or those Bog bugs in CFR. TBC Trash Mobs come in mobs.
It's broken if I have to use a macro.
And if we all have to use that macro, or one like it, then why isn't it simply built into the functionality of the spell? Or, why not just give Paladins a 3 target Taunt? Yes, I understand how "Righteous Defense" is supposed to work in fairy tales and story books. But in-game, it requires some adjustment.
And, yes, I use X-Perl. I could have cast the spell targeting her party frame. It just seems ackward to do it that way. Maybe it's intended to be that way. I don't know. Seems dumb to me.

An undercover video has surfaced allegedly showing abuse of bull calves at a Colorado livestock company.
The video reportedly shows abuse at the Quanah Cattle Co., a company that buys bull calves from dairy farms.
KUSA-TV (9News) in Denver reported Wednesday that the Weld County (Colo.) Sheriff's Office is investigating allegations of animal abuse at the company as the result of a video posted this week by the group Compassion Over Killing.
Animal-handling expert Temple Grandin watched the video and is quoted by KUSA-TV as saying, "I see lots of rough handling going on, definitely not acceptable."

'Equal dignity' or 'publicity stunt' for Florida
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The last two years, in particular, have seen gay-rights groups secure victory after victory in the drive for what supporters call "marriage equality." President Barack Obama endorsed the idea of gay marriage in 2012, and a succession of Democratic politicians quickly did the same.
State after state has also followed suit, with the number of states where gay marriage is allowed or has been approved by the courts jumping from 12 to 17 since the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the federal "Defense of Marriage Act" on the basis that it violated due-process rights. Among those states are Utah and Oklahoma, states not exactly known for unchecked liberalism.
The legal fight has now moved to Florida, with six gay couples challenging Florida's ban on same-sex marriage in state court, saying the prohibition violates U.S. Constitution protections against discrimination and denies them "equal dignity and respect."
The six couples and the Equality Florida Institute filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts Harvey Ruvin, four days after his office refused to grant them marriage licenses.
Florida is one of more than two-dozen states with amendments in the state constitution that ban same-sex marriage, and the lawsuit filed Tuesday is one of 40 throughout the country.
The suit could set up a Florida Supreme Court showdown over the "Florida Marriage Protection" constitutional amendment approved by nearly 62 percent of voters five years ago. At least, arguments before the seven justices --- several of whom are more left-leaning than legislative leaders --- are what plaintiffs' lawyer Elizabeth Schwartz said she was hoping for.
"We decided that the time has come. Let's bring it here and let's give the judges the same opportunity," Schwartz said.
Social conservatives pushed back. John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council and author of the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, called the lawsuit "a publicity stunt" timed to coincide with the onset of the legislative session, which begins in March.
"To me they're constantly trying to create political momentum just by asserting things that are not true. This would be another kind of political momentum stunt as we go into the legislative session," Stemberger said.

Family members of U.S. Marine Timothy Loper Jr. weren't surprised when they found out he tried to break up a fight outside a Camden restaurant.
"That's Tim," said Loper's wife Beverly Loper. "He's like a peacemaker. He's everybody's therapist in the family."
Loper, a 27-year-old husband and father who served in Afghanistan, witnessed a fight in the parking lot of the restaurant 20 Horse Tavern on 2nd and Spruce Streets in Camden around 2:45 a.m. on Sunday and tried to intervene.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
As he tried to break it up, police say a gunman opened fire and struck Loper several times. Loper was later pronounced dead. Police say he was originally at the bar to celebrate a friend's birthday.
"It just kills me to know that he called me to come to this party," said Loper's cousin Ciara Blue. "He was so excited to come to this party and this is how it turned out."
"I never thought that would be the last time I would see him," said Loper's other cousin, Faith Murray. "I wish I had taken him with me. It's senseless."
Monday night, heartbroken friends and family gathered at the crime scene for a candlelight vigil.
"Tim had the biggest heart in the world," said Blue. "He would do anything for anybody."
"Every time there was something going on, he's the one who gave me the good advice," said Loper's sister Amber. "He's the one who got me right back up on my feet. He was the one who was there for me."
Tim's father, Tim Loper Sr., says his son was in school part-time while working as a supervisor at a chemical plant in Cherry Hill. Loper says it's difficult for him to come to grips with the fact that his son survived Afghanistan but was killed in his hometown.
"It's tearing me apart," said Loper said. "I'm just trying to be calm for my family."
Police say a bearded, muscular man wearing a sweater is wanted in connection to Loper's death. Police released pictures and surveillance video which shows the suspect inside the restaurant.
"I would call him a coward," Loper said. "He's a coward. Turn yourself in."

If you have any information on the suspect's whereabouts, please call the Camden County Prosecutor's Office Detective John Hunsinger at (609) 548-1056 or Camden County Police Detective Lou Sanchez at (856) 757-7420.

- 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Cooking Instructions 1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler. 2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl. 3. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed. 4. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Humans, we're told, have an ingrained flight-or-fight impulse. We either flee stress or stay and put up our mitts. The hero of Liz Flahive's new play is definitely in the first group.
Martha, a kindergarten teacher played with usual soulfulness by Edie Falco, is a runner. In fact, the first scene opens with her teaching a class of children and then slipping away, telling them, "I'll be right back."
She's lying: She won't be back. She's been planning this escape for a long time. For the rest of the play, it's up to her family - husband, college-age daughter and mother - to come to grips with the hole made by Martha's abdication.
They do it exceedingly quietly, befitting a play with a hero who bolts rather than fights. There are few fireworks or tears in Flahive's touching, funny and beautiful play, whose world premiere is produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club and opened Tuesday at New York City Center.
This is the second play for Flahive, a writer for Falco's Showtime show "Nurse Jackie," and she proves a talent to watch, her characters deeply grounded and her dialogue profound without being flashy. And with the addition of an adolescent giant, she even seems to flirt with magical realism.
She's aided by Leigh Silverman, who lets the essence of the vignettes that make up the play unspool softly, knowingly. And David Zinn's sets work simply and beautifully, including a comfortable home's parlor, a bar, a cluttered lawn and Martha's apartment.
Martha, we learn, has fled without warning to a run-down apartment complex downtown named The Madrid and is living out a sort of post-mid-life-crisis fantasy. She spends her days in a bar and has decorated her new apartment as if she were in college again, complete with beanbag chair, a Jane Fonda poster and fold-up bed. She has left her cellphone behind.
She does this now rather than ferry her doddering mother (a feisty Frances Sternhagen) to the grocery story or chitchat with her husband (a sad sack John Ellison Conlee) or hover over her daughter (a solid Phoebe Strole). Martha has wanted to flee for years but had to wait until her daughter was grown.
"I never understood how you didn't mind the endlessness," she tells her husband. "Every time she needed me less, I thought: one more tether loose. Almost there. She can walk. She can swim. She's grown. Fully educated. And you're both still here. Waiting for me."
Falco is simply wonderful as a woman rediscovering who she is, trying to let go and yet also reconnect with her daughter. A fixed, forced smile is often plastered on her lips as she tries to explain herself and she fights to stay free from the pull of obligations. Falco's sheer skill in plumbing disappointment, steely resolve and excitement at the same time sometimes papers over a character that needs more definition.
Adding complexity to this family in quiet crisis is a neighboring couple - a first-rate Heidi Schreck and an angst-filled Christopher Evan Welch (soon to be replaced by Darren Goldstein).
They are smothering oversharers and constant worriers. "I hear myself talk sometimes and I want to leave," confesses the husband. One of their sons, played by Seth Clayton, makes a lovely late appearance as a very tall teen suffering from a bizarre condition.
Everyone in this play is wounded by Martha's dropping out but expresses it internally. The grandmother begins driving poorly so that an accident will bring her daughter to her hospital bedside. Her husband pathetically rushes home whenever he sees a taxi in front of the house, thinking Martha might have returned. Martha's daughter, who is the only family member to keep a slender tether to AWOL mom, doesn't understand the flight response but fills in her mother's shoes perfectly, taking care of dad and even replacing mom as kindergarten teacher.
The play ends too easily, with a happy bow that seems too hopeful and kind for some of the play's themes. A woman who bolts a seemingly happy suburban life is fascinating terrain to explore, but Martha's exploration gets cut short just when things were getting serious.

Leggett will report to M&C Saatchi Worldwide chairman, Tom Dery, and Moray MacLennan, chief executive of M&C Saatchi Worldwide. He begins his new role in April.
Leggett leaves O&M after three years, having joined as managing director of digital from Grand Union. He was promoted to managing director of O&M eight months after arriving at the agency.
In addition to his role as managing director, Leggett was responsible for developing the network's digital advertising strategy and rolling it out across all regions.
MacLennan said: "M&C Saatchi Sydney is a jewel in our Network's crown and as such, demands a chief executive of the highest calibre to drive its continued success.
"In Jaimes we have found an exceptional person to lead, innovate and inspire. He has a blemishless track record, and is a truly inspirational, global thinker."
The move will also result in Leggett's wife and Dare's chief executive, Lee Leggett's, departure in May. She has been at Dare for seven years and became chief executive following the merger with MCBD in 2010.
Both O&M and Dare are currently looking for a replacements with a new managing director expected at O&M imminently.
Paul O'Donnell, the chairman of Ogilvy & Mather UK, said: "Jaimes has played a key role in refocusing Ogilvy & Mather. He has also relaunched O&M's digital offering and helped develop the agency's entertainment, innovations and social capability.
"We wish him and his family the best of luck in Australia."
Mark Collier, the non-executive chairman of Dare said: "I can't pretend we're not gutted to be losing Lee. She's been a major part of the Dare story over the years and she's loved not just by us all here at Dare, but also in the wider industry too.
"It's hard to compete with such a great opportunity and we wish Team Leggett all the very very best."

Harry Dean Stanton
Synopsis: The "magic" in One Magic Christmas is often (and surprisingly) of the "black" variety. Like Jimmy Stewart before her, worn-out wife and mother Mary Steenburgen wishes that she'd never been born. And like Stewart, Steenburgen is visited by a guardian angel, in this case the western-garbed Harry Dean Stanton. Instead of granting Steenburgen's wish, Stanton shows her what life would be like without Christmas--and that vision is as grim as anything you're ever likely to see in any Holiday film. Throughout the horrendous tragedies heaped upon Steenburgen, we are comforted in the knowledge that Stanton is working in concert with Steenburgen's young daughter. Steenburgen learns her lesson of course, but what a ride!

Emmanuel Dabney over at Interpretive Challenges has a particularly interesting post relevant to the June 29 edition of Civil War Emancipation entitled "Why the Slaves Fled." My June 29 post made the point that it was not only the prospect of freedom that led the slaves to flee to Union lines but also to escape the physical punishments all too common in American slavery. Dabney, in Interpretive Challenges, mentions another horrible reality of chattel bondage that encouraged slaves to make a desperate bid for freedom when the Union army approached–the forced separation of families that occurred under slavery.
Dabney's post features a 1854 letter from the Kinsey Collection of Bernard and Shirley Kinsey on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The letter was written by a Virginia woman, Amanda Crawford, to Dickinson and Hill, a major slave trading firm based in the state capital of Richmond. In the letter, Crawford offered up for sale her chambermaid, Frances. Crawford needed the sale proceeds to pay for the horses and a stable she had recently established on her husband's place near Charlottesville. The cruel twist of the letter was that Amanda Crawford dispatched an unknowing Frances to Richmond ostensibly on an errand, ignorant that the purpose of the journey was her own sale. Crawford confessed in the letter, "I could not tell her; I own all her family, and the leave taking would be so distressing that I could not."
The morality of Amanda Crawford's actions aside, her letter is powerful testimony of the slave families' strong ties and that their owners were aware of them. Yet while Frances' story is tragic, the greater tragedy was such stories were all too common in the American South before the Civil War. With the closing of legal U.S. participation in the international slave trade in 1808, a flourishing yet calamitous internal slave trade developed, primarily shifting slaves from Upper South slave states associated with the declining tobacco economy, such as Virginia and Maryland, to the rapidly expanding cotton states of the Lower South. About a million slaves crossed state lines between 1800 and 1860, sometimes taken by planters moving their operations west, but most sent piecemeal to the Deep South by slave traders.
In my research on African-American veterans in Civil War pension files I came across many other heart-rending tales of families ripped apart by the internal slave trade. For example, Louis Jourdan, a former black soldier living in New Orleans testified in 1915, as follows.
I was born in Washington Co., Md. near Boonsborough, I was only a few miles from Hagerstown too. I was born the slave of Ed Butler My father was George Jourdan and my mother was Millie Jourdan, both were slaves of Butler. There were ten children of us in all, the whole family was sold to the slave traders about five years before I enlisted in the army and were brought here, no that is wrong only three were brought here to New Orleans, viz. my brothers, Nelson Jourdan, John Jourdan and myself, we were sold to Dr. Martin whose plantation was about a mile below Paicourtville, Assumption Parish, La. My age was given as 18 when I was sold, John's age was given as 19, and Nelson's as 20 past.
While legal format of Louis Jourdan's deposition does not capture the anguish of the internal slave trade as well as Amanda Crawford's letter, the simple fact of such a large family ripped apart by sale is horrific enough. Sometimes these families were reunited in freedom, but too often they were not. But the prospect of separation from home and loved ones was a powerful motive for slaves to flee during the Civil War when the opportunity arose. If they could reach Union lines, they need not fear ever again having their families torn asunder by the peculiar institution.
Stories like Amanda Crawford's Frances and Louis Jourdan should give pause to presidential contenders before they sign political documents making the absurd and obscene claims that the black family was somehow better off under slavery.
Source for the Louis Jourdan quote: Deposition of Louis Jourdan, May 27, 1915, Civil Pension File of Louis Jourdan, 77th USCI and 10th USCHA, Record Group 15, Records of the Veterans' Administration, National Archives, Washington, D.C. The transcript of which can be found in Elizabeth Regosin and Donald R. Shaffer, Voices of Emancipation: Understanding Slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction through the U.S. Pension Bureau Files, (New York: NYU Press, 2008), 166-68.

An Orange County anesthesiologist has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting three unconscious female patients.
A district attorney's statement said 60-year-old Dr. Yashwant Balgiri Giri (yosh-wahnt ball-gear-ee gear-ee) of Cypress entered the plea Wednesday and was sentenced to six months in jail and five years' probation. Giri must also register as a sex offender for life and have his medical license revoked. Prosecutors had sought a stiffer sentence.
Giri worked at Placentia-Linda Hospital at the time of the crimes.
In one case from 2009, a nurse said she saw him penetrate a 16-year-old patient with a finger during preparations for surgery.
In another, a hospital employee reported seeing Giri fondle a patient's breasts continuously during a procedure. The doctor and nurse performing the surgery could not see him because of a partition between them.

I just got another vulcaoid case, and it is different from any of my others. This one is small, and is made for a 2x3. Instead of being the usual gray, it is brown, with black hardware and a black velvet interior. The internal layout is similar to the leather Mini Speed Graphic case I also have, with blocks to support the camera and two pockets for a few film holders. A Mini Speed fits, but as I do not have a Pacemaker 23 Speed I cannot check it. I doubt it woud fit because of the way the back of the camera fits into the two support blocks. While I am assuming that this is a late (c 1946~'47) case for the Mini Speed, does anyone know more about it?

I have a similar small brown case that came with my 50's Century and it sounds the same with black velvet and pockets etc. My 2x3 Speed will not fit in it,but i can put the Century with extra lens in a small rubbermaid container, two roll backs and plenty of film and accesories. However, my handle is going to fall apart, and i just took it in a long road trip and found it to be a bit hard to use in comparison with my Velocity 3 Tamrac case which also holds everything for the Century or the Speed. I am going to get another one of these soft cases for road trips and put my 35mm stuff in one and the 2x3 stuff in the other, and thus save the hard case for home storage. I also have a leather case. Can you decribe yours, I am wondering if it was made for Graphics. Mine came with another Century camera.

I am convinced that mine is original Graflex, and that it was intended for the Miniature Speed Graphics that were discontinued shortly after the war. I tried my Centuries and Pacemaker Crown and none are thick enough to permit the body to sit on the ledges that are provided to hold it in place; they are rather narrow. The thicker body of a Speed is necessary to hold the body on them. A Pacemaker Speed may fit, at least the early one with a Graphc back. Graflok backs prevent the body from sitting on the ledges. I think the Pacemaker tube finder will also be a problem, and will probably prevent them fitting the case. As mentioned before, the internal layout is identical to the leather Graflex case for the Mini Speed.
You mentioned that the handle on your case is coming apart; depending on how far gone it is you may be able to fix it. I just fixed the handle on another case that was losing chunks of the covering leather, with the padding underneath starting to unwind. Work some glue into the padding to stiffen it up, and smooth it down. Use the glue to re-skin the patches that are gone. I painted mine black when done and while it will never pass as new it sure looks a whole lot better and will not continue to come apart. You could also wrap it with black electrical tape, but the glue fix is nicer looking.

When the handle on my '09 RB broke, I found a bag of black leather remanants at a local hobby store (Michael's) for about $7. I laid the broken pieces out and made a pattern. Next I cut out 5 or six pieces according to the pattern. (thin leather). Next I glued the pieces together making a multi-layer unit which I covered with a larger than pattern piece and made the seam on the bottom. I did the same for the retainer straps. It does not look factory but is durable, confortable, and you have to look close to notice the difference.
I used latex/neoprene contact cement.
The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU.

THe measurements for the inside of my case are as follows:
14" wide x 4-3/8" front to back x 8" deep.
My 2x3 Speed is not even close to fitting, but the while the Century sits nicely on the bottom, it does not really line up with any of the blocks. The Leather case, on the other hand, fits the Century perfect, and has a nice pocket for the press sheet film holders etc. This one needs a littel TLC but just cosmetic and sewing.
I would like to know more about the hard case, because nothing seems to fit just right in it no matter what i try. I still like it and wouldn't mind having another one for storing stuff while not using.
I got a beautiful Vulcanoid for the 4x5 and found that it will hold a Century and the Crown with all accessories!

I will try to post some Pix later tonight so you can see the case; it is definitely for a Mini Speed only. It is the only vulcanoid case like it that I have seen.

LONDON (Reuters) - It will take a decade to fully return Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) to the private sector, the state-owned lender has predicted, according to the UK's Times newspaper on Monday.
The bank plans to be ready to start paying dividends in late 2014, the Times reported, without citing a source.
After an additional 18 months of bolstering the bank's balance sheet, senior RBS figures believe that it will be returned to the private sector in four offerings over 10 years, the newspaper said.
Each of these offerings would amount to more than 10 billion pounds ($16 billion), the report added.
In 2008, Britain pumped 45.5 billion pounds into RBS, leaving the taxpayer with an 82 percent holding in the bank.
On Friday RBS, which trades on the London stock exchange, closed at 295 pence per share, representing a market capitalization of 17.9 billion pounds.
Last week, the Bank of England warned that British banks' true capital position was probably worse than what the relatively healthy official numbers imply.
The bank said that this is because banks have been over-optimistic about the future financial market dangers due to their over-optimistic assessment of the risks facing them.

Though he was hoping to make his return to mixed martial arts a full-time gig, Duane "Bang" Ludwig has given in to the realities of the fight game and is returning to K-1 action. "I can make $1,000 or whatever on smaller MMA shows, but I can make quite a bit more fighting K-1," said Bang.
In fact, he is still under contract with K-1 who owes him three fights before his contract runs out later this year. The first two of those fights are to happen soon. The first is a K-1 Superfight against Thai Boxing legend Ramon Dekker on K-1's July 20th World Max show in Tokyo, Japan. With 175 wins in his career, Dekker will be a very difficult opponent. Despite his desire to fight MMA, Ludwig is looking forward to this K-1 kickboxing bout, "I want to be one of the best fighters in the world and to be one of the best, you have to beat the best. This should be a really good fight."
Not only does he have the fight with Dekker on July 20th, but then Ludwig turns around and comes back home to the United States to fight another Superfight. This time, he will be fighting French fighter Remy Bonnel at K-1's USA show in Las Vegas on August 13th. Of course there is one stipulation to the Las Vegas bout. "The fight with Bonnel will happen about three weeks later as long as I don't come out with any injuries from the fight with Dekker," remarked Ludwig.
That's a pretty tight schedule for a fighter, but that is what it will take to get in all three of the fights that K-1 still owes him according to his contract. Though K-1 seems to want to use Ludwig more in kickboxing rules bouts, there's a chance that we'll see him in MMA action before his contract is up. "I don't have anything to say for sure, but I'm hoping that they'll use me in an MMA bout for the last fight on my contract," he said. That would be good news for Ludwig, as he would then get the best of both worlds. He would get to fight MMA and the solid payday that comes from K-1.
What happens after his K-1 contract is up? Ludwig had this response, "I can't really say, but I know I'll be fighting somewhere thanks to my great sponsors: Sportsmaker.com who have been working with me, BasRutten.tv, ROFMMA.com, NHBFights.com, GLCDirect.COM, RealFightGear.com; and thanks to K-1 and MMAWeekly.com for the time. Of course, as soon as I know what's next I'll have it up on my web site at DuaneBangLudwig.com."

Whether you love or loathe cilantro, guacamole wouldn't be the same without it.
Cilantro: delightful element of delicious tacos and pico de gallo -- or horrid herb of death that smacks of soap? Like Facebook's Timeline and every episode of "Glee" ever, there's an undeniable "love it or hate it" quality about cilantro.
Actually, the haters are backed by some respected culinary tastemakers: Ina Garten (aka Barefoot Contessa) and Top Chef Fabio Viviani are the latest celebrity chefs to side with cilantrophobes, as they recently told our TODAY.com team. And Julia Child confessed to Larry King in a 2002 interview that she if she ever sees the herb in something she'd ordered, she would pick it out and "throw it on the floor." Harsh.
On Team Cilantro: behavioral neuroscientist Charles J. Wysocki, of the Morell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. Wysocki has been attempting to pinpoint the polarizing nature of coriander leaves -- better known, of course, as cilantro. Wysocki has studied preferences for cilantro in twins, both fraternal and identical. In identical twins, if one twin hates the smell of cilantro, the other is more likely to hate it; the flip side is true, too -- if an identical twin loves the smell, the other will likely love it, too.
"That does not hold for fraternal twins," explains Wysocki, adding that these findings "suggest very strongly that whatever it is that people underlies the preference is genetically determined."
Cilantro: Love it or loathe it?
But what is it about cilantro that some people find so intensely offensive? To begin to find out, Wysocki has used gas chromoatography, a contraption that uses heat to separates a complex mixture of molecules -- like cilantro -- piece by piece, allowing researchers to identify each individual compound, by using both the instrument and their own noses. The GC, as it's called, warms the cilantro, and as it heats up, that "soapy" smell is released. About 10 minutes later, the pleasantly herbaceous cilantro smell is emitted -- but the typical cilantro hater still can't smell it.
"What we think might be happening is the person who hates cilantro is, in fact, detecting the soapy odor. But what they seem to be missing is the nice, aromatic, green component," says Wysocki, who thinks the smell of cilantro is quite pleasant. "It's possible that they have a mutated or even an absent receptor gene for the receptor protein that would interact with the very pleasant smelling compound."
Hear that, cilantro haters? You're mutants, says a scientist. (We kid, we kid.)
As the theory goes -- and Wysocki is quick to remind that this is still speculative -- cilantrophobes may not be able to pick up the scent of a compound called dodecenal, which gives the cilantro that lovely fresh scent we cilantrophiles know so well. It's even possible, Wysocki allows, that those soap-smellers may have something called specific anosmia, which is the lack of perception of an odor for a specific compound, when the smell is otherwise intact.
Readers, what about you? Whether you love cilantro or can't stand it, make your case in the comments. If you hate it -- is it because of the soapy smell/taste, or something else?
