A league source has confirmed multiple reports that the Phillies are near completing a trade that will bring righthanded reliever Wilton Lopez to the team from the Houston Astros.
Lopez was in Philadelphia Wednesday for a physical.
Lopez, 29, has spent the last four seasons with the Houston Astros, where he has developed into a top-notch late-inning reliever. In 213 career appearances, he is 13-13 with a 3.14 earned run average.
He initially signed with the New York Yankees as a free agent in 2002. After being released by New York in 2007, he signed as a free agent with San Diego, but he did not make it to the big leagues until 2009 after Houston claimed him on waivers.
Lopez improved in each season with the Astros and had a career-best 2.17 ERA in 2012. He also saved 10 games in 13 attempts.
The Phillies, of course, would be more interested in Lopez as the setup role, which proved to be an Achilles' heal a year ago.
Because Lopez is a first-time arbitration eligible player, he will be an inexpensive alternative to some of the free agents on the market. That could allow the Phillies to spend more money as they attempt to address offensive issues.

New OS2007 HE for the Nokia 770 with Mozilla engine and memory corruption bugfix
A new version of the Internet Tablet OS 2007 Hacker Edition for the Nokia 770 is now available for download. There are two improvements in this released compared to the previous one:
- The Mozilla browser engine developed by Nokia is now available in addition to the Opera engine.
- A critical bug causing memory corruption under certain wlan conditions has been fixed.
Both improvements carry a remarkable degree of user contributions, big thank you!
The development to bring the Hacker Edition to Chinook levels is ongoing. It's not being easy to make the OS2008 fit in the 770 hardware. We are keeping the plan to offer you a new HE release though, hopefully before the end of the year.
Remember: the OS2007 Hacker Edition is not an end-user ready release and it is not officially supported by Nokia.
How do I handle certificates, which I need f.e. for bankaccounting?
It took a long time to download but it was worth it. My N770 runs faster and the web browser seems more stable and faster. Thanks to all that makes this possible. Now to only get flash 9 on it. Was considering getting the N800 (N810 too expensive) but with this new update my buddy (N770) and I are just fine. Thanks again.
Thanks. This works very well. Installed very quickly on top os os2006.
Thanks for this update, it works great! Keep up the good work, we really appreciate it.
Only wanted the 770 to do one thing - access the web while on the move, i.e interact with a couple of websites (bank, airlines etc.) and collect e-mail via the web (client works but doesn't leave messages on the server for later at home) OS2006 failed to access the BA site correctly. The Mozilla version would not let you enter into some text fields (user id, passwords etc.) The look, feel and speed of OS2007 for 770 is great but it has the same failings in the Mozilla browser. The 770 is an Internet Tablet and falls at the first hurdle for me. Is the N800 any better in this regard?
I gave this new HE release a try on my 770. (Before that I had OS2006.) The problem I have is that the virtual keyboard doesn't pop up when I tap on a text field. Has anyone else seen this issue ?
I also very distinctively remember picking Finnish as the language and all the wizards run after installation were indeed in Finnish - alas, the Tablet it self is in English after those have ended and the attempt to change the language ends up with the above mentioned results. Such a minor issue, but still, annoying. I already got used to having Finnish layout in my virtual keyboard.
Fantastic, thanks! Looking forward to the Chinook-level releases already! Keep up the good work!
Great to see improvements for the 770. A great device - way too good to be old!
Does this come with better flash player thsn os2006? If not, what are the benefits? Cut down version of Mozilla browser is availble for os2006 already. I remember reading user reports on pervious os2007he that it slows the 770 right down. Without updated flash player is there any benefit to the user?
Great to see improvements for the 770. A great device - way too good to be old!
Maybe i selected the wrong setting on first boot, but it comes up as UK instead of US. trying to change it, i get "Device storage memory full. Remove data to free memory." It won't let me set my language / region.

I am a fan of treating clothing with permethrin s added protection against skeeters and ticks (especially). For instance, when canoe camping at Assateague Island I always treated my tent body and netting with permethrin to keep the ticks off of the doorway. Likewise, I treated my Original Bug Shirt to keep them at bay.
I was thinking of treating my HH Expedition body and netting with the spray (Sawyers) as well.
Does anyone else treat their hammocks with permethrin?

Dave Grohl took to the Foo Fighters' website to issue a thank you to fans, calling the Wasting Light cycle the "most incredible album experience" of the band's history, as well as calling the surrounding tour "the best gigs of our lives." Read the full letter after the jump.
Hey everybody,
Dave here. It's been quite a while since I've sat down to write something for you guys, but as we're coming to the end of an amazing tour and an amazing year, I figured I'd take this opportunity to say thank you….
Where do I begin?
Thank you all for making "Wasting Light" the most incredible album experience of our band's 17 year history. For real. The fact that a rock and roll record, made in a garage, completely analog to tape with no help from computers, could be a #1 album around the world, AND get a Grammy nomination for "Album of the Year"…..well….these days that's no small feat. It's truly inspiring, and it makes us feel like the luckiest band in the world. So thanks. It means everything to us.
And the shows……from the secret club gigs, to playing in peoples garages all over the country…..from the arenas to the festivals to the stadiums….we've had the best gigs of our lives. Thank you so much to each and every one of you who came out and spent those 2 hours and 45 minutes with us every night. It's been exhausting…..but it's been a blast.
Looking back at the past 18 months, I don't think we've ever worked so hard at making an album, and it ever being so easy. From day one, the idea for this record was to make something completely simple and honest, to capture that thing that happens when you put the 5 of us in a small room. No big production, just real rock and roll music: That's why we decided to do it in my garage. We wanted to retain that human element, keep all of those beautiful imperfections: That's why we went completely analog. And, most of all, we wanted it to sound huge: That's why we decided to use Butch Vig. His role in this whole experience is huge, and he deserves a great 'thanks', too. Not many producers would accept the challenge that we handed him. He's the best, for sure. Together, we made the album of a lifetime. Again.
And to all of you…..we're not finished yet. There are still more shows to play, more songs to write, more albums to record, for years to come. I mean…..If you would have told me 17 years ago that in 2012 I would be writing songs for our 8th studio album….well…..
If it weren't for you guys, we wouldn't be here. We owe you so much.
Take care of yourselves.
We'll see you out there, folks.
(via Foo Fighters' website)
Google 'nicest guy in rock.' I guess he wants us to forget he stole Frances Bean's trust fund.

It seemed to be
Runs the wind
It seemed to be but chance, yet who shall say
It settles softly on your things
It sings to me in sunshine
It s only we, Grimalkin, both fond and fancy free
It trembled off the keys,a parting kiss
It was a Sergeant old and gray
It was a still autumnal day
It was but yesterday, my love, thy little heart beat high
It was Christmas Eve in the year fourteen
It was many and many a year ago
It was nothing but a rose I gave her
I ve borne full many a sorrow, I ve suffered many a loss
I waked; the sun was in the sky
I walked beside the evening sea
I wanted you when skies were red
I warn, like the one drop of rain
I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city
I was with Grantthe stranger said
I watch her in the corner there
I watch the leaves that flutter in the wind
I weep those dead lips, white and dry
I went to dig a grave for Love
I will not look for him, I will not hear
I wish I were the little key
I wish that I could have my wish to-night
I won a noble fame
I wonder, dear, if you had been
I would I had been island-born
I would not live alwaylive alway below
I would unto my fair restore
I write my name as one
I wrote some lines once on a time
Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley
Jesus, there is no dearer name than thine
Jubilant the music through the fields a-ringing
Just as the spring came laughing through the strife
Just ere the darkness is withdrawn
Just when each bed was big with bloom
Just where the Treasurys marble front
Keep back the one word more
Keep me, I pray, in wisdoms way
King Solomon stood in the house of the Lord
Kiss me but once, and in that space supreme
Know I not who thou mayst be
Lady, there is a hope that all men have
Land of unconquered Pelayo! land of the Cid Campeador
Last night Alicia wore a Tuscan bonnet
Last night, when my tired eyes were shut with sleep
Launched upon ether float the worlds secure
Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass
Lean close and set thine ear against the bark
Leap to the highest height of spring
Lear and Cordelia! t was an ancient tale
Lend me thy fillet, Love
Les morts vont vite! Ay, for a little space
Let hammer on anvil ring
Let me come in where you sit weeping
Life of Ages, richly poured
Lighter than dandelion down
Light of dim mornings; shield from heat and cold
Light-winged Smoke! Icarian bird
Like as the lark that, soaring higher and higher
Like Crusoe with the bootless gold we stand
Like some great pearl from out the Orient
Like to a coin, passing from hand to hand
Like to the leaf that falls
List to that bird! His songwhat poet pens it
Little Haly! Little Haly! cheeps the robin in the tree
Little, I ween, did Mary guess
Little masters, hat in hand
Little Orphant Annie s come to our house to stay
Little thinks, in the field, yon red-cloaked clown
Lo! above the mournful chanting
Lo! Death has reared himself a throne
Lofty against our Western dawn uprises Achilles
Lonely and cold and fierce I keep my way
Long has the summer sunlight shone
Long hours we toiled up through the solemn wood
Long I followed happy guides
Long, long before the Babe could speak
Look how it sparkles, see it greet
Look on this cast, and know the hand
Look out upon the stars, my love
Look up, she said; and all the heavens blazed
Lo! through a shadowy valley
Lo! t is a gala night
Love must be a fearsome thing
Love your neighbor as yourself
Low-anchored cloud
Many things thou hast given me, dear heart
Mark me how still I am!The sound of feet
Master of human destinies am I
Maud Muller on a summers day
Memory cannot linger long
Men of the North, look up
Men say the sullen instrument
Methinks the measure of a man is not
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam
Mid the flower-wreathed tombs I stand
Mid the white spouses of the Sacred Heart
Mimi, do you remember
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Misfortune to have lived not knowing thee
Misshapen, black, unlovely to the sight
More shy than the shy violet
Most men know love but as a part of life
Mother of nations, of them eldest we
Much have I spoken of the faded leaf
Mute, sightless visitant
My absent daughtergentle, gentle maid
My body answers you, my blood
My body, eh? Friend Death, how now
My boy Kree
My brigantine
My chile? Lord, no, she s none o mine
My Christmas gifts were few: to one
My country, t is of thee
My Dearling!thus, in days long fled
My faith looks up to Thee
My foe was dark, and stern, and grim
My highway is unfeatured air
My life is like a stroll upon the beach
My life is like the summer rose
My little girl is nested
My little Mädchen found one day
My little neighbors table s set
My little one begins his feet to try
My love leads the white bulls to sacrifice
My Love too stately is to be but fair
My mind lets go a thousand things
My mother says I must not pass
My prow is tending toward the west
Myriads of motley molecules through space
My short and happy day is done
My son, thou wast my hearts delight
My soul to-day
My window is the open sky
Nae shoon to hide her tiny taes
Nature reads not our labels, great and small
Near strange, weird temples, where the Ganges tide
Near the lake where drooped the willow
Never a beak has my white bird
Never yet was a springtime
New Englands dead! New Englands dead
Nigger mighty happy wen he layin by con
Night after night we dauntlessly embark
Nigh to a grave that was newly made
No freeman, saith the wise, thinks much on death
No life in earth, or air, or sky
No more the battle or the chase
No! No
No, no, I well rememberproofs, you said
No, not in the halls of the noble and proud
No one could tell me where my Soul might be
Not as when some great Captain falls
Not by the ball or brand
Not drowsihood and dreams and mere idless
Not from the whole wide world I chose thee
Not in the sky
Not in the world of light alone
Not least, t is ever my delight
Not lips of mine have ever said
Not merely for our pleasure, but to purge
Not midst the lightning of the stormy fight
Not mine to draw the cloth-yard shaft
Not on a prayerless bed, not on a prayerless bed
Not trust you, dear? Nay, t is not true
Not with slow, funereal sound
Not ye who have stoned, not ye who have smitten us
Now all the cloudy shapes that float and lie
Now all the flowers that ornament the grass
Now are the winds about us in their glee
Now Camillas fair fingers are plucking in rapture the pulsating strings
Now comes the graybeard of the north
Now dandelions in the short, new grass
Now England lessens on my sight
Now for a brisk and cheerful fight
Now half a hundred years had I been born
Now I lay me down to sleep
Now is the cherry in blossom, Love
Now, on a sudden, I know it, the secret, the secret of life
Now since mine even is come at last
Now Summer finds her perfect prime
Now the frosty stars are gone
Oak leaves are big as the mouses ear
O bird, thou dartest to the sun
O brother Planets, unto whom I cry
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done
O child, had I thy lease of time! such unimagined things
O curfew of the setting sun! O Bells of Lynn
O dappled throat of white! Shy, hidden bird
O dawn upon me slowly, Paradise
O destined Land, unto thy citadel
O earth! art thou not weary of thy graves
O Earth! thou hast not any wind that blows
Oer a low couch the setting sun had thrown its latest ray
Oer the wet sands an insect crept
Oer the yellow crocus on the lawn
O fairest of the rural maids
Of all the rides since the birth of time
Of all the souls that stand create
O far-off darling in the South
O far-off rose of long ago
Of heavenly stature, but most human smile
O flower of passion, rocked by balmy gales
Of old, a man who died
O fountain of Bandusia
O friends! with whom my feet have trod
Often I think of the beautiful town
Oft have I stood upon the foaming strand
O gallant brothers of the generous South
O God, our Father, if we had but truth
O God, thy moon is on the hills
O gold Hyperion, love-lorn Porphyro
O, have you been in Gudbrands dale, where Laagens mighty flood
Oh, band in the pine-wood, cease
Oh, be not ether-borne, poet of earth
Oh, did you see him riding down
O hearken, all ye little weeds
Oh, frame some little word for me
Oh, I am weary of a heart that brings
Oh, it s twenty gallant gentlemen
Oh! little loveliest lady mine
Oh mother of a mighty race
Oh, the wind from the desert blew in
Oh, what a night for a soul to go
Oh, what a set of Vagabundos
Oh, what s the way to Arcady
O, it is great for our country to die, where ranks are contending
O joy of creation
O keeper of the Sacred Key
Old Horace on a summer afternoon
Old man never had much to say
Old soldiers true, ah, them all men can trust
Old wine to drink
O lend to me, sweet nightingale
O let me die a-singing
O lifted face of mute appeal
O lil lamb out in de col
O little buds, break not so fast
O little town of Bethlehem
O living image of eternal youth
O lonesome sea-gull, floating far
O Love Divine, that stooped to share
O love, so sweet at first
Olympian sunlight is the Poets sphere
On a green slope, most fragrant with the spring
On an olive-crested steep
Once before, this self-same air
Once hoary Winter chancedalas
Once I knew a fine song
Once I saw mountains angry
Once more, once more, my Mary dear
Once this soft turf, this rivulet s sands
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
Once when the wind was on the roof
One calm and cloudless winter night
One day between the Lip and the Heart
One day I saw a ship upon the sands
One day there entered at my chamber door
One elf, I trow, is diving now
One night I lay asleep in Africa
One sat within a hung and lighted room
One shadow glides from the dumb shore
One steed I have of common clay
One sweetly solemn thought
On hoary Conways battlemented height
O nightingale, the poets bird
On Kingston Bridge the starlight shone
Only to find Forever, blest
On scent of game from town to town he flew
On softest pillows my dim eyes unclose
On the road, the lonely road
On the wide veranda white
On woodlands ruddy with autumn
On your bare rocks, O barren moors
O pitying angel, pause, and say
O poet rare and old
O pour upon my soul again
O power of Love, O wondrous mystery
O ruddy Lover
O say, can you see, by the dawns early light
O Say, my flattering heart
O steadfast trees that know
O tenderly the haughty day
O thorn-crowned Sorrow, pitiless and stern
O thou great Movement of the Universe
O Thou great Wrong, that, through the slow-paced years
O to lie in long grasses
O touch me not, unless thy soul
Our eyeless bark sails free
Our fathers God! from out whose hand
Our many years are made of clay and cloud
Our Mother, loved of all thy sons
Our share of night to bear
Out in the dark it throbs and glows
Out in the misty moonlight
Out of a cavern on Parnassus side
Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass
Out of the cradle endlessly rocking
Out of the dusk a shadow
Out of the focal and foremost fire
Out of the heart there flew a little singing bird
Out of the hills of Habersham
Out of the mighty Yule log came
Out of the old house, Nancymoved up into the new
Out where the sky and the sky-blue sea
Overloaded, undermanned
Over our heads the branches made
Over the dim confessional cried
Over their graves rang once the bugles call
Over the plains where Persian hosts
O, when I hear at sea
O white and midnight sky! O starry bath
O white, white, light moon, that sailest in the sky
O, whither sail you, Sir John Franklin
O woman, let thy heart not cleave
O ye sweet heavens! your silence is to me
O ye who see with other eyes than ours
Pale beryl sky, with clouds
Pale, climbing disk, who dost lone vigil keep
Pallid with too much longing
Peoples Attorney, servant of the Right
Poet! I come to touch thy lance with mine
Poet of the Pulpit, whose full-chorded lyre
Poor Creature! nay, I ll not say poor
Praise ye the Lord! The psalm to-day
Pray for the deadwho bids thee not
Priest of God, unto thee I come
Prime cantante
Proud, languid lily of the sacred Nile
Puffed up with luring to her knees
Put every tiny robe away
Put them in print
Quiet as are the quiet skies
Read me no moral, priest, upon my life
Read out the names! and Burke sat back
Regent of song! who bringest to our shore
Reluctantly I laid aside my smiles
Restless, to-night, and ill at ease
Rockaby, lullaby, bees in the clover
Rocked in the cradle of the deep
Roll out, O song to God
Roman and Jew upon one level lie
Romancer, far more coy than that coy sex
Room for a soldier! lay him in the clover
Roses and butterflies snared on a fan
Rough pasture where the blackberries grow
Round among the quiet graves
Round de meadows am a-ringing
Runs the wind along the waste

Back to school presents and Christmas gifts for kids can be difficult to pick out. That is why we have compiled all the top gift ideas for kids in one place. Whether you're looking for 12 year old gift ideas or presents for your 5 year old niece, we have you covered on the most popular kids' gifts.
Backpacks are the best back to school gifts for students, especially if they are filled with some snacks and treats! For younger children, a cute critter bag or personalized Stuffie that can also double as a friend when school feels overwhelming make great gifts for children. For teens, consider getting them a messenger bag that will be as stylish as their new back-to-school outfits and leave all their friends asking where they got that cute new bag.
Dolls make great girl Christmas gifts, but stretch her imagination and let her play with a dollhouse that she sets up for herself. For Christmas ideas for boys, think about engraved sports equipment that they can use next season or an art set if they are a young artist. Art easels are an especially thoughtful gift for kids that can help them expand their minds and are perfect presents for kids any time of year.
Christmas present ideas for teens can be a little harder to come by, but think about giving them something that's just for them. For the teen girl who loves to play guitar in her band, get her a personalized poster or plaque with her name on it to decorate where she practices. For the teen boy who loves to support his sports team year-round, get him a locker room print or jersey of his favorite team.
No matter the occasion, gifts for kids should speak to the individual personality of the child you're shopping for, and with a personal touch just from you, it will surely be a hit!

October 15-November 15. The National Lawyers Guild
and the Justinian Society will be holding a Food and Clothing
Drive to benefit The Greater Chicago Food Depository and
Caring Closet. Please bring donations to the front lobby
beginning on October 15th. There will be boxes set up
near the front desk. If you have any questions, please
contact Caroline Cascino at email@example.com
On October 29th, 4:00 in room 170, The National
Lawyers Guild will be playing "The Weather
Underground." Outraged by the Vietnam War and
racism in America, the Weather Underground waged a low-level
war against the
government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol
building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading
one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.
The Weather Underground is a
feature-length documentary that explores the rise and fall of
this radical movement, as former members speak candidly about
the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war
home" and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI's
most wanted list.
Popcorn and beer will be served. Please
contact Gabe Conroe with any questions or suggestions
for upcoming films. email@example.com
From the people that brought us the "Patriot Act"
debate last year, which brought in over 125 people, the
National Lawyers Guild, the Federalist Society, The American
Constitution Society, and Women in Law bring you "The
Coming Battle over the Courts and the Constitution: Politics,
Law, or Both?" a debate on the status of the Supreme
Court after the election. Audience members will be able to ask
questions to the debaters, Roger Pilon, the Founder and
Director of the CATO Institute and Professor Sheldon Nahmod,
Chicago-Kent's own Constitutional Law professor. Talk about
where The Court is headed depending on who wins the election.
This event will be held on November 4th in Room C50 at 4:00
followed by a reception on the 10th floor. For more
information, please contact Caroline Cascino at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Silence is the voice of complicity." The
nationwide epidemic of police brutality and repression is
hidden from many people who would be outraged if they knew
what was happening. Many people have become apprehensive about
reprisals for protesting in today's political climate. We must
resist in many different ways to drag this truth out into the
light of day. October 22, 2004, the 9th annual National Day of
Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the
Criminalization of a Generation is the day for thousands
across the country to speak out and act. Our resistance will
give others courage. Check the website www.october22.org
for information on events near you. Organize an event in your
neighborhood, school or church. Wear black that day in memory
of those whose lives have been stolen from them. We must say
loudly and clearly, "We don't want your kind of safety -
there ain't no safety in a police state!" No More Stolen
Li ves! Fight Back! On October 22nd, Wear Black!
NLG Kent will be joining NLG Chicago at a candlelight vigil
and march on November 3rd at 5:00 at the Federal Building.
No Matter who wins the elections, the war on Iraq continues.
Come protest the war no matter who wins the election.
Help send the message that we are tired of hearing about the
deaths of American soldiers, the kidnapping and beheading of
American supporters, and the lies about why it
continues. Come to protest or to observe. If you
would like to be legal observers, please contact Melinda
Power at email@example.com
or by phone at 773-278-6706.
Come out and help out on election day! Volunteers are
desperately needed at 150 polling places throughout the city
of Chicago. Election Protection needs 300 law students
to take a short training session so they can become poll
monitors on November 2nd. Sign up with a friend and work
the polls together to make sure that every vote is counted
because every vote matters! Election Protection is a
non-partisan organization. If you are interested or need
more information, please contact Katie Ruder at email@example.com.
Volunteers are needed to help out at Cabrini Green YMCA on
November 1, 2, & 3. All they need you to do is watch
a movie with the kids during their "movie night" and
supervise while other students are being tutored for
school. The kids are great and the program is very
important. If you're interested, please contact Erin
Program Director, Cabrini Green Tutoring Program, Inc. at
(312) 397-9140 or email@example.com
or Kristen Prinz at firstname.lastname@example.com
On Tuesday, October 26th at 5:00 in room 590, don't miss
Matt Dietzen talk about his experiences at the Republican
National Convention in New York! As a Legal Observer, he
was trained to act as a witness at demonstrations and ensure
that the civil liberties of protesters were not
infringed. Find out what is was like at the front lines
of a protest where several hundred people were arrested and
what may have gone wrong. Civil liberties and
Constitutional rights have become a focal point of the
upcoming election. Find out what a Legal Observer
thought at the RNC protest in New York. For more
information check out: 2004
RNC @ NYC Event. If you have any questions,
please contact Caroline Cascino at firstname.lastname@example.com,
or Matthew Dietzen at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Journal Gazette - Fort Wayne, Indiana
According to the Rev. Frank Pavone, the flowers in Terri Schiavo's room at the Florida hospice where she died got better care than she did.
Pavone, a Roman Catholic priest and founder of Priests for Life, had been an advocate for the 41-year-old Florida woman and her parents.
Schiavo died March 31, about two weeks after her feeding tube was removed at the request of her husband, Michael Schiavo. The feeding tube's removal came after a lengthy and public court battle between Michael Schiavo and Terri Schiavo's parents.
According to Michael Schiavo, his attorney, and the courts, Terri Schiavo, who some doctors said was in a persistent vegetative state, with no hope for recovery, did not want to be kept alive artificially. Her parents argued for the right to care for her, saying she recognized familiar faces and responded at some level.
The debate surrounding her death specifically, and life issues in general, still continues, and Pavone said the country is at a critical crossroads.
"How are we going to treat the weakest, the disabled," he asked a crowd of more than 100 at the first of two presentations at the University of Saint Francis' Gunderson Hall.
The priest was in town Friday as the guest of the Allen County Right-To-Life Committee. He spoke at a luncheon of area priests, non-Catholic pastors and others involved in the anti-abortion rights movement.
For his 3 p.m. presentation, the small Gunderson Hall was nearly full, with the audience ranging in age from the very young to the elderly.
Kristen Mitchell, 19, is president of the newly formed "Cougars for Life" group at the university. She said Pavone's talk heightened awareness for the group, as well as bringing greater awareness to life issues within the community.
A nursing student, Mitchell said she has had numerous discussions from the lunch tables to the classrooms regarding the Schiavo case and the issues it raised.
Pavone's visit also sparked a greater interest in such issues, she said.
During his presentation, Pavone described visiting with Terri Schiavo in her hospice room. He said he saw her respond to prayer by closing her eyes, smile at her father, and heard her try to vocalize in communicating with her mother.
"She interacted with me," he said.
He said he had never seen a more horrifying death than hers.
Moral theology always acknowledges treatment that might be declared "worthless" and is not providing any benefit, Pavone said.
But the case with Schiavo was not someone who was being given worthless treatment, he said, because she was not dying.
"The problem was not that her wishes were not clear, but that someone decided her life was not worth living," he said.
He urged people to appoint a health care "proxy," as opposed to adopting a living will. A proxy, he said, someone who shares your individual values, would be able to talk with doctors, pastors or other advisers who can speak on your behalf to determine a course of treatment.
Living wills, he said, cannot predict the future – what technology will be available and how it will be needed.
Pavone said the common inheritance of civilization is that every human life is protected, regardless of its condition. The dignity of every human life must be preserved, he said.
But some on the other side of the debate say that the question is what defines a life, and what makes a person a person.
In an interview, Laurie Proctor, minister emerita at Fort Wayne's Unitarian Universalist Congregation, said that, in cases such as these, there has to be a time when it is reasonable for a family to decide that who the person was is gone.
"Basically all that's left is a shell," she said.
In cases such as Schiavo's, Proctor said, there are some who would want to preserve something that is little more than an organism.
"This is really deep theological stuff, what is life, and what defines a person," she said.
One of the larger issues, Proctor said, one that people are often reluctant to talk about, is the way that health care is rationed in the United States.
If everyone is left on life support as long as someone is willing to pay, it will cause a drain on medical resources.
"Every time we make a decision like this, we kind of lock somebody else out," she said. "We have to look at the larger picture. We have to put those resources where we are sure they can do something, or have a good chance to do something."
During an interview before his presentation, Pavone said such ideas are an insult to human dignity.
"Is every patient going to be given the same human care and respect, or are we going to start discriminating?" Pavone asked.
Officials at Allen County Right-To-Life said they had scheduled Pavone's visit awhile ago and had no idea how fortuitous the timing of his speech would be to the debate surrounding Schiavo's death.
"For too long both sides have screamed at each other," said Cathie Humbarger, executive director of the group, which opposes abortion rights.
"It is time for a fair and open debate on life issues."

Posts Tagged "Tourism Jobs"
Koh Samui is such an excellent location to live and work that naturally there are lots of individuals who don't wish to wait up until they retire to relocate here.
People looking for an office job or another kind of employment in Koh Samui need to know the job market is not completely open to newcomers from other countries. To work in Samui as an expat legally you need a work permit and a proper visa. Additionally, the Thai federal government has put in place some restrictions on exactly what kinds of employment is available to immigrants. So when browsing work ads, any you see that define "Thai national" are not going to hire you because the legal requirements for a work license will not be met by a foreigner.
Jobs in Samui that require native-level of foreign language ability– such as English tutoring— are the simplest to come by. Nevertheless, there is actually a vast array of expat jobs in Koh Samui if you know where to look.
Something to note when trying to find a job in Koh Samui is discrimination based on age and gender is not prohibited and in fact typical. Frequently you will see a job opening with something like "lady under 30" or "male 25+". Sometimes you'll see extremely limiting requirements such as a master's degree and 5 years experience, but should be under 30 years old, and cannot help but wonder how they can find any prospects to fit the expense. Because you can't do anything to alter this, just merely neglect any job listings where you may not fit their particular requirements. Doing otherwise would simply be a waste of your time.

Biblical Heresy needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 77 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Biblical Heresy Press is a new publishing company that has not yet settled upon a Logo. We need an iconic emblem representing our interest in exposing the truth, a truth far afield from what is typically taught by the modern church, to all who are interested.
Our motto is "The Bible is best read with your own eyes, preferably open."
We want a logo to go on books and other media we produce. The Logo [comprising an emblem and our name: Biblical Heresy Press] should be consistent with our desire to enlighten others as to what the Bible actually teaches in comparison to those beliefs the modern Christian Church tends to preach. [A draft of the first chapter of our first book is available on the website, it might give some feel for our goals.]
Note: None of the fonts or images on our webpage are official or set in stone. I was just working with the template I had. Please do not feel at all restricted by anything on that page.
Note there is a note on the discussion board updating this contest.
None of the below are required. They are suggestions/preferences.
- Iconic: The emblem should be distinct enough to allow for instant identification and recognition.
- Form: We suggest a Logo consisting of an emblem above our companyname, "Biblical Heresy Press." The box-enclosed lettering shown in theupper-right portion of the webpage is by no means official. Feel freeto come up with your own form for the name, but a touched up version ofwhat is currently on our webpage is certainly a viable option. [Ofcourse, this whole bullet point is just a suggestion...if you have aningenious way of integrating our name into an emblem, feel free to doso, but we are perfectly happy to have an emblem setting atop atasteful rendering of the name.]
- Because there may be an occasion for the emblem to be placed uponthe spine of a book, it would be nice if the emblem or some portion ofit was vertically oriented with a hieght-to-width ratio approximating1.61. However, I stress this is by no means a requirement...just aminor bonus point.
- With regard to the emblem, we'd like something that gets acrossthe nature of our publication. One idea might be a heretic being burnedat the stake, though it might be rather difficult to pull that offwithout being too cartoony or too graphic. Another option is to somehowallegorize the "freeing of the truth" or exposing of the truth byremoving 2000 years of politics and human philosophy. Anotherpossibility (though a bit less powerful) is to work in "John 16:2" which is averse referencing the church persecuting heretics, as Christ'sfollowers were.
- It would be nice if a Bible could be worked into the emblem, but it cannot be the main point.
- We would prefer vector images, but if you have an amazing ideathat just cannot be pulled off with vectors go ahead and use non-vectorgraphics. We would want a jpeg and bitmap suitable to the 166 x 83pixel area in the top-left of our webpage [for the emblem portiononly], as well as a couple other stock sizes. [If you've created a non-vector, please indicate this when you submit your design.]
- Feel free to work in our motto "The Bible is best read with your own eyes, preferably open."
- We have no need for crosses, blood, or other stock Christian icons. It is okay for a cross or a picture of Jesus to get put somewhere to help clarify a point [for example, if you wanted to put a small cross on a book to make clear it is a Bible, that would be okay.]
- Please do not include anything that could be construed as insulting the Bible itself or Christ Himself. Our beef is with the modern Church and face it gives Christianity. We certainly would not want an emblem that suggested in any way that we were attacking Christ or the Bible.

If anyone was wondering what has made Batman so meaningful to fans over the last 75 years, these were the people to ask.
The Dark Knight comic book stories that Frank Miller, Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, Grant Morrison, Jim Lee, Scott Snyder and Geoff Johns have variously told since the 1970s are among the most influential and bestselling to ever come out of Gotham City.
So what is it? The panelists at "Batman 75: Legends of the Dark Knight" on Thursday afternoon at Comic-Con International in San Diego said it was a combination of Batman being terrifying to criminals and inspiring to law-abiding citizens, of Bruce Wayne turning the pain from a childhood trauma into a life of service.
"Batman is basically a satanic figure who is on our side," said Morrison, whose seven-year run of titles featuring the character closed last year. "He takes in all those Byronic elements … and the whole notion of the Romantic hero but at the same time he's on our side. He's a good guy. And the fact that he's a mega-rich good guy is particularly appealing to the capitalist West. He's very representative of what we like to think we stand for."
Miller, the writer-artist behind the 1980s "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Batman: Year One" landmarks in the comics medium, offered another angle: "There's also the fact that Batman is sexy."
Following applause and laughter, Morrison continued, "He's the good guy who dresses up like a bad guy and throws people through windows. He does strike terror into criminals' hearts. And his motivation is so simple. What could have been just a normal rich kid turned himself into a pinnacle of a human being, even though he dresses funny."
Snyder, the writer of the current bestselling "Batman," who this week saw the publication of the finale of his and artist Greg Capullo's yearlong re-imagining of the vigilante's origin, focused on Bruce Wayne's inspiration aspect: "He's a guy who takes this trauma that's primally terrifying as a child … and he turns it into an engine to make himself this strange pinnacle of human achievement. … As much as he terrifies the bad guys of Gotham, he also, especially if you're going through a hard time in your life … you look to Batman to be able to say, 'I'm gonna be defiant. I'm going to do the crazy thing that everybody thinks I can't do.'"
That defining tragedy — young Bruce seeing his parents fatally shot in an alley — continually resonates with DC Comics co-publisher Lee, the artist of "Batman: Hush" and the Miller-written "All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder." Even when looking at Batman at his mightiest, he said, "you still see that 10-year-old boy whose life was shattered by this tragedy … you can't help but feel strongly sympathetic and want to hug that little boy."
Johns, DC's chief creative officer and the writer of the graphic novel "Batman: Earth One — and a force on the upcoming Fox TV series "Gotham" — said the hero taps into "the common primal instinct to want to do something better."
The discussion also turned to Batman's real-life origins.
Artist Adams, whose run with O'Neil in the 1970s influentially put the dark back into the Dark Knight, said that when Bob Kane and Bill Finger — the latter, long-uncredited name drawing applause from audience members and Miller — created the hero, writers and artists were being tasked with creating superheroes in the vein of Superman but the two "didn't take the instructions seriously. They made Batman into a human being. Batman doesn't have any super powers — he goes and exercises. He doesn't have any super-intelligence; he's just intelligent and he uses his brain. Batman is what we would rather be. … Batman is you and me."
After Adams said that Batman and Superman are opposite ends of the superhero spectrum, his old collaborator O'Neil, who's written for both the characters, chimed in about Superman: "How do you put God against a petty crook and have a story with conflict and drama? Batman … is really easy to get into trouble. Any death trap will do."
Miller joined in, adding, "There's also the fact that Superman is a good old boy, that he obeys the rules his parents taught him. He's a country kid. And Batman is a guy who loses his temper."
The black-fedora-sporting Miller also mentioned that he'd met Kane once, and reported that the artist was "bewildered" by "The Dark Knight Returns," asking "why that woman has swastikas on her butt."
On the topic of crediting Finger, something DC did on the cover of its giveaway edition of "Detective Comics" No. 27 for Wednesday's Batman Day festivities, O'Neil said its long absence has been "a gross injustice," but one born of copyright and work-for-hire practices of the time and not of malice.
Morrison said that it was good to focus on what Finger's talents as a writer contributed — including the word "masterfiend," invented to describe the Joker. "Somebody's got to name their band that right now," the Scottish writer said to laughs. " 'Masterfiend' is the greatest word in the world, and it was made up by Bill Finger."
Among the biggest influences on the panelists, they said, were the other people on the panel.
"I feel like my job on this panel is just not to faint or cry," Snyder said to laughs.
Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and "Year One" were hailed: Lee said the former made him as a senior in college in 1986 want to be a comics professional, and recounted geeking out on Miller (Johns said it defined Batman for him); Snyder said that reading the latter tale was "the moment I realized you could take a superhero comic book, a superhero that belonged to everybody … and make a story that's so intensely personal and immediate and contemporary all at once."
Miller, in turn, mentioned Jerry Robinson's art and said of O'Neil's and Adams' work, "I never could have done 'Dark Knight' without them," adding later that their stories showed him Batman had "not just a legacy, but a future."
The influence of the Adam West "Batman" show was also discussed. Snyder and Morrison said that, seeing it as kids, it didn't seem campy — "I thought it was so serious and life and death," Snyder said.
"Like Scott," Morrison added, "I was honestly convinced this thing was like Greek tragedy."
But when he was older, Morrison said, it was O'Neil's and Adams' work that hooked him.
With such passionate opinions about Batman, there were of course some things panelists said they didn't like seeing others do with the character. O'Neil cited the 1950s comics, and said he didn't think sci-fi and fantasy scenarios worked well.
Asked by a fan what female supporting cast member they'd reinvent if they could, more than one said "all of them," with Adams pronouncing them "boring" — though Johns spoke up for Barbara Gordon/Batgirl being a fascinating character.
Miller was emphatic about a costume change he said he abhorred: "For decades on end he had a big, stupid yellow circle around his Bat … my proudest achievement as a professional was getting rid of [that]."
Others were more forgiving of some unpopular interpretations, with Morrison saying he even likes the oft-derided Joel Schumacher-directed Bat-films of the 1990s.
Several of the group applauded Christopher Nolan's recent "Dark Knight" trilogy.
O'Neil, noting Nolan's films used some characters that had originated in his works, said that in reading the script he thought, "He's doing it better than I did … and why didn't I think of this?"
Speaking of movies, Johns brought along a photo of Ben Affleck as Batman with Miller-style helmet ears – the same photo "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" director Zack Snyder tweeted out.
But for all the movie talk, the original medium still holds sway.
"The best way to experience Batman is in comic books," Miller said.
Reinforcing Miller's point and taking a shot at the Batsuit in Schumacher films, Adams said, "At least we don't do nipples."
One thing was clear: the Caped Crusader is open to wildly different interpretations, and the panelists agreed that the varied versions work.
"Batman is like a very large multifaceted diamond. … " Miller said. "You can throw it against the floor, you can throw it against the wall, throw it against the ceiling — it will not break. Everything works."
But what version of Batman most represents the spirit of the hero, a young female fan asked.
Miller's reply: "The very best Batman is the one you like the best."

STOCKTON - The 29-year-old man who died as the result of dozens of gunshots being fired Friday night on Dijon Street in the neighborhood northeast of Hammer and West lanes was identified Monday as Samath Som by the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office.
STOCKTON - The 29-year-old man who died as the result of dozens of gunshots being fired Friday night on Dijon Street in the neighborhood northeast of Hammer and West lanes was identified Monday as Samath Som by the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office.
Som was one of three victims taken to hospitals that night after a shooting in the 1900 block of Dijon, where neighbors first reported being startled by the sustained sound of automatic gunfire at 11:50 p.m., Stockton police reported. The two other shooting victims, believed to also be 29-year-old men, are expected to survive their wounds.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the case and have not released further details.
STOCKTON - A woman and a man told police they were on Lincoln Street under the Crosstown Freeway at 5:50 a.m. Monday when a man ran up to them and shot both of them before fleeing on foot.
Both victims were transported to a hospital for treatment of nonlife-threatening wounds and were reported in stable condition, according to police.
The suspect was described as 5 feet 8 inches and 180 pounds, last seen wearing black clothing and a ski mask.
STOCKTON - A woman was listed in critical but stable condition in a hospital after her boyfriend allegedly stabbed her in the back while in their room in the 1700 block of West Fremont Street at 4:20 p.m. Sunday, police reported.
The boyfriend, Nicholas Marrable, 23, was apprehended outside in a parking lot by responding officers and arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of drugs and an outstanding warrant.
The victim, 34, and Marrable apparently had been arguing before the attack, police reported.
STOCKTON - While walking to a store in the 7900 block of North El Dorado Street about 4:30 p.m. Sunday, a 37-year-old man walked by another man who asked him for some spare change. According to a police report, the 37-year-old told the panhandler to "get a job," and that led to a physical fight during which the panhandler eventually pulled out a knife and the victim suffered a 5-inch laceration on his left arm.
The victim was treated at a hospital, police reported. They described the male suspect who fled the area on a low-rider bicycle as between 30 and 40 years old wearing a black, white and yellow "Echo" shirt and black pants.
RIPON - While on the way to school at 7:20 a.m. Monday, an elementary student walking on South Acacia Avenue near Second Street was reportedly accosted by a man who exposed himself to the student before leaving the area, Ripon police reported.
According to the police report, the suspect approached the victim from an alley between First and Second streets, exposed himself, then immediately fled on a black mountain bike east down the alley. The victim was reportedly not touched by the suspect.
The police report described the suspect as 30 to 35 years old with short, light-blond hair, last seen wearing a baseball cap and black basketball shorts with white stripes. Anyone with information on the suspect is urged to call 911 or Ripon police Detective Alex Burgos at (209) 599-2102.
STOCKTON - Firefighters were kept busy early Monday battling three unrelated structure fires. None of the empty buildings were destroyed, property damage was kept to a minimum and there were no injuries, according to reports from the Stockton Fire Department.
The first blaze was reported at 2:33 a.m. Monday in a 7,500-square-foot vacant warehouse in the 1600 block of El Pinal Drive in an industrial area east of West Lane. The fire started on the exterior of the metal-sided building and spread into office space. It may have been started by transients known to frequent the area, the department reported.
At 3:41 a.m., a report came in of a fire in a vacant home in the 1500 block of Chronicle Avenue near Gianone Park in east Stockton. The fire may have started in an exterior storage area containing a water heater and flames spread into the home's attic. The home may have been undergoing recent remodeling.
A third fire was reported at 5:44 a.m. at a boarded-up south Stockton home on South American Street between East Third and East Fourth streets. When firefighters arrived, it appeared that someone had previously broken into the home.
The house had minor structural damage and firefighters were on scene for about 45 minutes, according to a report.
VALLECITO - A husband and wife were arrested on suspicion of assault with a firearm Saturday after they reportedly got into a fight with other patrons of the Nugget bar in Murphys.
The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office said that witnesses reported that the trouble started when Steven Scharf, 25, got into a fight with another bar patron sometime late Friday or early Saturday.
According to witness accounts, Scharf and his wife, Jana Scharf, 24, then waited outside the bar for a group of four Angels Camp residents, one who had been involved in the fight.
When the four left the bar, the Scharfs followed them to a residence on Rufe Lane in Vallecito. Next, the Scharfs reportedly went home, got guns, switched cars, and returned to the Vallecito residence.
One of the victims reported that when the couple returned to the Vallecito residence, Steven Scharf pointed a Glock .40-caliber handgun at her. She said she struck the handgun to point it away from her, at which time the gun went off.
Witnesses said that while this happened, Jana Scharf stood by her car, pointing a shotgun at the ground.
Then the Scharfs departed and the victims called 911 at 12:23 a.m. Saturday. Deputies arrived to find a .40-caliber bullet casing.
About 1:20 a.m. Saturday, an Angels Camp police officer saw the Scharfs' car at a home in Douglas Flat. They were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy and assault with a firearm. Investigators said all involved were under the influence of alcohol.
STOCKTON - A security guard for an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Stratford Circle was injured after following a suspicious man and asking him where he was going about 3 a.m. Monday, police reported.
When the guard questioned the suspect, he turned around and struck the guard in the hand with an unknown object before fleeing on foot. The guard pursued the suspect until he realized he was bleeding, police reported.
The suspect was described by police as a black man, 35 to 40, 5 feet 11 inches and 175 pounds, last seen wearing a black T-shirt, camouflage shorts and white tennis shoes.
LODI - A 61-year-old Antioch motorist died in a head-on collision on Highway 12 between Interstate 5 and North Peatland Road early Sunday. The driver of the other vehicle was arrested by the California Highway Patrol on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and causing the collision.
The CHP reported that the Antioch man, whose name has been withheld pending notification of family, was driving a 2001 Cadillac westbound at an undetermined speed at 1:32 a.m. Saturday while Phi Nguyen, 49, of Stockton was driving a 2002 Toyota eastbound at an undetermined speed and, due to his alleged intoxication, swerved across the center line into the oncoming Cadillac. After the collision, Nguyen's Toyota continued moving until it struck a 2004 Volkswagen traveling westbound driven by Anthony Russo, 22, of Pittsburg. That impact sent Russo to a hospital with major injuries and caused Nguyen's vehicle to overturn.
Nguyen also sustained major injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment.
A 2003 Acura being driven westbound by Kyle Arredando, 21, of Brentwood sustained front-end damage from debris strewn about the highway from the multiple collisions, the CHP reported. Arredando was not reported injured.


text: Baled to Ship: Business is Booming for Hay Exporters November 8, 2013 06:15 PM Tweet ACX was recently named the leading U.S. exporter of alfalfa and grass hay for the third straight year by the Journal of Commerce. To help meet the growing overseas demand for hay, the company opened a facility in Goldsboro, N.C., in 2012. © CATHERINE MERLO TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email Abooming overseas market for alfalfa is a key driver not only for baler manufacturers but also hay exporters. Exports of U.S. hay grew to more than 3.7 million tons in 2012, up sharply from 2.5 million in 2008. Those levels are expected to continue to grow. China, the United Arab Emirates and Japan have emerged as major markets for U.S. hay, with Vietnam also an up-and-coming buyer, says John E. Gombos, business unit manager for ACX Pacific Northwest, a major alfalfa and grass hay compressor-shipper. In 2012, ACX Pacific Northwest exported 52,400 TEUs (20' Equivalent Units). That represents almost 700,000 tons of long fiber forage. Compact bales. Based in Bakersfield, Calif., ACX Pacific Northwest purchases alfalfa hay, timothy hay, sudangrass, oat hay and other grass hay and straw products from farmers in several Western states. It then compresses, packages and exports these products for foreign-based dairy and beef animals, as well as camels, sheep and goats. From its 15-acre facility at the Port of Stockton, ACX readies the bales of alfalfa and other feedstocks for their journey to the Port of Oakland, where they're loaded aboard ships. Ocean freight is competitive because ships arriving in the U.S. with Chinese-made goods need to return to Asia carrying new products. Costs for truck containers from inland sites to Oakland, Calif., are a different matter, though. "Trucking costs are up 10% to 15% because of clean air compliance requirements," Gombos says. That makes bale size and weight critical for the 83-mile trucking haul to Oakland. ACX, the only hay presser at the Port of Stockton, uses two presses to reduce bales by about 50% in size and weight. Typically, alfalfa bales arrive weighing 1,200 lb. to 1,300 lb. and measuring 3'x4'x8'. ACX shrinks the bale's dimension by almost half and its weight to about 1,000 lb. The company can run 60 alfalfa bales per hour through its newer press. While ACX facilities in Ellensburg, Wash., and Wilmington, Calif., can load containers with up to 26 metric tons of hay for most markets, the ACX Stockton facility can only load up to 22.5 metric tons due to road-weight restrictions in Northern California. The Stockton facility sends out 20 to 30 fully loaded containers a day to the Port of Oakland. It takes 50 days for a ship to travel from the Port of Oakland to the Middle East.

Oi! No, not the Toyota's (LOVE my Toyota's) I prefer to refer to Giants as the Hyundai of the Cycling world.
Hyundai? Right, clearly you're informed. Perhaps check some facts before you slate a frame that is/has/will win on tour
I ri de a Giant TCR SL, it's a helluva bike, ride one then let me know how Hyundai it is.
Completely agree. Got my first road bike 3 months ago and was going to go with a supersix with 105 as I had a 3k limit for bike and accessories. I wanted the best frame I cold get for my money and I was lucky enough to get 2012 tcr advanced sl1 for $2600 at the end of year runout sales.
Full mechanical dura ace and the same frame that Rabo use on the pro tour. It's more than what I needed and I will never do the bike justice but there was no way I could ignore the price.
I'm around 95-100 kg and the whole bike is so stiff and light, I absolutely love it. All I changed was the tyre and tubes because I was having trouble with three corner jacks and punctures. Got the conti gp4000s tyre and tube pack from wiggle and haven't had a flat since.
I absolutely wouldnt hesitate to buy giant again, even at full retail.

Lambert Family Lecture: A Conversation with Christian Marclay and Josiah McElheny
Join genre-bending artists Christian Marclay and Josiah McElheny as they discuss their artistic practices and the stunning works featured in our galleries. Curator at Large Bill Horrigan moderates the discussion. Everyone attending the conversation is also invited to stay for the Winter Exhibitions Preview, which follows. The galleries open at 4 PM, so that you can see the shows before the conversation.
"Christian Marclay, the wizardly visual artist, composer, and appropriator has done it again, and then some."—New York Times on The Clock
An artist who collapses and combines sight and sound, Marclay has worked in a wide variety of art forms, including video, performance, sculpture, and photography, over the past three decades. He has created an international sensation with The Clock, a hypnotic 24-hour video work that literally tells the time. The Clock features thousands of movie scenes depicting clocks, watches, and other timepieces, spliced together seamlessly and precisely synced to our local time. So that visitors can experience The Clock at any or every point in its full 24-hour duration, our galleries will occasionally stay open all night and through the following morning. The first 24-hour viewing period begins with the preview celebration. The Clock will remain open through the night exclusively for our members and other preview guests. (Please note that space in the gallery is limited, viewers are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, and you may need to wait in line to view The Clock.)
"The success of Josiah McElheny…lies in his ability to dazzle the mind and the eye, marrying history, science, and aesthetic theory with virtuosic presentations."—ArtInfo
McElheny often combines glass with other materials to investigate and visualize complex concepts regarding everything from philosophy to physics. In his exhibition Towards a Light Club, he explores the history of modernist utopias in a series of kaleidoscopic projections, narrative films (including one post-produced with support from the Wex's Film/Video Studio Program), stunning illuminated sculptures, and other projects. A former Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipient, McElheny constructs dazzling sculptures and installations, as well as films, performances, curatorial projects, and even "parties," all as part of his work about the history of aesthetics.
Both Marclay and McElheny have exhibited at the Wexner Center in the past. We are thrilled to welcome them back for this discussion of their shared and divergent interests.
The Lambert Family Lecture 2012 is made possible by generous support from the Lambert Family Lecture Series Endowment, which promotes dialogue about global issues in art and contemporary culture.

He's been worse before and I'm convinced that he's not going to die before his wife (who, while elderly and often sick, is nowhere as near to death's door as he is) because he doesn't want to upset her; he's that kind of guy.

The Chicago Fire have their final preseason test as they play for the 2014 Desert Diamond Cup Saturday night vs. Los Futuros de Chivas de Guadalajara, a.k.a. a Chivas Guadalajara "Development Team" at 7:30pm CT on Chicago-Fire.com.
Here are some things you should know going into the match.
What's the plan for tonight?
With it being the final tune-up, expect to see a pretty close visualization of what Frank Yallop's starting XI would be come next Sunday's opener at Chivas USA. Following the team's 2-1 tournament opening win on February 19 vs. the Colorado Rapids, Yallop said he planned to push his starting group about two-and-a-half games over the course of the remaining three.
The starters went 90 minutes in a 2-0 win over FC Tucson and played a half in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution, so it seems they'll see most of the time Saturday night.
Mike Magee, will he play?
Fire forward Mike Magee went through a double training session on Friday with Yallop admitting that the 2013 MLS MVP is playing fitness "catch-up" with his teammates after taking a leave from camp with a hamstring injury and personal reasons.
Yallop wouldn't commit to say Magee would feature in Saturday night's game, preferring to wait and see how the player felt after returning from afternoon training on Friday.
"I'll talk to him and see how he's feeling," Yallop said on Friday's conference call. "What I don't want to do is push him, get him re-injured and then we're all in trouble. I want to bring him along slowly, it's been three weeks – he's just kind of getting over the hamstring.
"I'm hoping he's available, at what capacity, I'll decide later."
Center back pairing, Austin Berry trade explained
Asked about how Bakary Soumare's play in camp has been, Yallop praised the veteran Fire defender's performance in preseason and was open about who his center back partner would be, come next Sunday's season opener at Chivas USA.
"Baky's been really good, really focused and we've done a lot of organization stuff with the back four and has been outstanding in the games he's played. He wants to do well, he has a great demeanor, he's got a bit of a mean streak which is always good for a defender and I think it looks like Jhon Kennedy [Hurtado] will be next to him."
Yallop also opened up more about the reasoning behind Monday's trade of third-year defender Austin Berry to the Philadelphia Union:
"We have Patrick Ianni who's a very good, experienced player in this league and that's one of the reasons we could afford to let Austin Berry go. I like the kid and he's been a good player with Chicago and those things but something had to give. We were up against the [salarly] cap, we had to make sure we made the right moves so we were cap compliant and that was one of the moves we had to do."
Technical Director Brian Bliss confirmed on the call that the Berry trade "pretty much put us in a position to be cap compliant."
The MLS deadline for cap compliance is actually today, Saturday, March 1.
What's going on with Grant Ward?
The Fire roster currently sits at 27 signed players with Yallop insinuating in the past that the team would look to start the season with 28.
That last spot appears to be taken by Tottenham Hotspur youngster Grant Ward who Yallop's staff is trying to bring to the club on loan after impressing during a two-week stint with the team in Bradenton and here in Tucson.
"Grant is still somebody we're working on," Bliss said. "He's left camp and gone back to Tottenham – he's training there. We continue to work on the paperwork and the final things to get him buttoned up. To say that Grant Ward would be there by the Chivas game on March 9 would probably be a stretch because we still have some work to do to finalize that one."
Un-signed players in camp and more trades coming?
Two un-signed trialists, remain in camp in Austrian right back Thomas Piermayr and American left back Parker Walsh. If the 28-man roster is what Yallop is sticking to it seems a rostered player would need to be moved in order to sign either player.
Piermayr, whose playing CV features stops at Norwegian side Lillestrom and Scottish club Inverness, seems more likely of the two, with the 24-year-old full back featuring in more time during the team's stay here in Tucson.
Asked about Piermayr's prospects, Yallop was non-committal, though he did say "Thomas has done well."
The Fire manager returned to talk of the salary cap and alluded to a possible trade in the works, saying, "It's a big jig saw puzzle with anyone's cap. We're trying to see where each player fits in. We're looking at other possibilities with other teams about maybe trading. We're forever on the lookout."
