While Lindsay Lohan spends what could be her last few days in rehab, her headline-loving father, Michael, has turned his attention to another embattled star — actor-director and alleged abuser Mel Gibson.
"I will not judge (Mel)," the senior Lohan told PopEater. "Nor will I believe his girlfriend's apparently doctored tapes."
It's an interesting stance from Lohan, who has his own history of releasing secretly recorded and seemingly incriminating tapes of his ex-wife, ex-girlfriend and even his beleaguered daughter.
Still, for whatever reason, Lohan refuses to believe the leaked tapes made by Oksana Grigorieva accurately reflect Gibson's private rants and rages. Not that it really matters to the newest member of Team Mel. After all, it's not his place to condemn the man.
"All I know is Mel went on the line for Jesus Christ, built a church for God and has helped many," Lohan explained. "It's so easy for others to point fingers and cast blame when money and pride are involved. I pray for him and God will be the judge."
Gloria Allred reacts to Tiger Woods' divorce
Now that Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have officially divorced and put nine messy months of marital woes behind them, high-profile attorney and outspoken Woods-critic Gloria Allred has one last piece of advice for the golf great.
"Tiger can begin again but he should never forget the human wreckage that he has left behind and the fact that he has still not been fully accountable for the suffering that he has inflicted on women," Allred said in a statement delivered to TMZ.
Dish on the fly
During a visit to "Jimmy Kimmel Live," reality TV vet Sharon Osbourne, who'll take on daytime television as part of the ensemble show "The Talk," didn't hold back when explaining how her upcoming effort compares to "The View." "We're very different women," Osbourne said of herself and co-hosts Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini, Sarah Gilbert and Marissa Jaret Winokur. "We've got different opinions and we're not miserable and dry … I think ours will be edgier and more real, and not so trying to be politically correct and like you've got a stick up you're a--." … It's going to take more than diet and exercise to get Kendra Wilkinson's pre-baby body back — at least that's what the former "Girls Next Door" gal pal believes. Eight months after giving birth to her first child, Wilkinson has announced that she wants one more babe and then she's ready for the old nip-tuck. "I didn't get liposuction after Hank (Jr.), because I knew I wanted more babies," she said in a quote published in Star magazine. "But I will 100 percent have lipo after my second baby, because until then, I know I will never be satisfied looking in the mirror."

The home of Yale track and field since its inception as a sport in the 1870s, Dewitt Cuyler Athletic Complex and the Dwyer Track are among the premier track and field facilities in the nation. The eight lane En-tout-cas surface was laid in 1981, replacing a legendary cinder oval, the likes of which had rarely been scene. The old track had two 200-meter straightaways, enabling runners to race a one-turn 400-meter dash and a straight 200-meter dash. The new layout was resurfaced in the summer of 1995 in preparation for the Special Olympics World Games.
The creative layout of the facility allows for competition in all events including the hammer, discus and javelin within the complex. Sprint straightaways are marked to allow for competition in both directions depending on the prevailing winds, and multi-directional runways in the long and triple jumps and the pole vault allow for optimal performance. A huge high jump apron makes for a great jumping area. Three shot-put circles, two hammer/discus cages and an all-weather javelin runway make the facility a thrower's dream.
Bleachers on the sprint straightaway seat 1,500, making the complex a tremendous host site for championship meets. Dewitt Cuyler and Yale have served as hosts for three IC4A championships (most recently in the spring of 2004) and six Heptagonal Championships (most recently in 2011). In the summer of 1995, 5,000 Special Olympics Athletes from around the world competed in the Special Olympics World Games at the facility.
The infield of the track serves as Frank Field, named after Yale Heisman Trophy winner Clint Frank '38. It is a practice field for the Yale varsity football team, and hosts junior varsity football games in the fall.

Confederate Yankee decided to get to the bottom of the controversy over Reuters' claim that one of its armored vehicles was hit by an Israeli rocket or missile strike, injuring several of its employees, by sending photos of the vehicle to some people who should know how to interpret them: the manufacturers of such armored vehicles. Somewhat to my surprise, he got two responses to his emails.
The first, from a representative of Inkas Armored Vehicle Manufacturing, was short and to the point:
Looking at the picture received through the link on your email, the damage on the vehicle was sustained very long time ago and probably not by the rocket, or it was already tempered [sic] with[.]
The second response, from the chairman and CEO of First Defense International Group, which "has armored vehicles deployed in the Middle East and has professional knowledge of Israeli weaponry," was more detailed:
In my expert opinion the damage, the hole is NOT consistent of a Hellfire Missile or a 70mm rocket nor any armoured piercing bullet/trajectory.
The Reuters armoured van would only be armoured to threat level IV which would consist of 8mm of High Hard 4140 Steel armouring on the roof which you can see in the picture as peeled open somewhat. The damage to the roof looks to me very consistent with possible shrapnel penetration from an object other than a rocket or missile itself.
Furthermore the armored glass would be 62mm for threat level IV protection against blasts and armour piercing rounds. The damage to the back window is certainly NOT consistent with any missile, bomb, rocket blast that would have occurred on impact if a rocket was fired around and directly at the vehicle.
This individual went on to note that if if a rocket or missile exploded in close proximity to the vehicle, not only would there be potential pentration by shrapnel, there would also be damage from the force of the blast, as shown in this photo:
Such blast damage is not visible in any of the pictures of the Reuters vehicle.
Finally, this expert said that the photo of the interior of the vehicle does not show damage consistent with a rocket or missile attack "of any kind."
I would think that a forensic examination of the vehlcle could answer the outstanding questions once and for all, and either validate or refute the claims made by Reuters. Clearly, there is enough doubt about those claims to warrant a full investigation.

Thomas's Tools
Thomas Simmons used these tools
to lay bricks in new houses.
Between the two World Wars,
acres of fields around Croydon
became suburban estates.
The bricks were made
at the Handley Brickworks,
Dickenson's Lane,
Can you see the lettering on the bricks?
Thomas Simmons

Thomas Simmons
Thomas remembers
working as a bricklayer:
"When I started bricklaying in 1928
I worked mostly on housing.
There were lots of house building
in every district
on the edges of Croydon
and so I was seldom out of work.
But as the years went on
I needed to go further
and further out from Croydon
to reach the estates.
All the estates were in various stages
of progress. First of all
there would be a show house.
Then a couple of painters
would be finishing off the next house,
or the next pair of houses.
A bit further along
would be the plasterers
finishing off the outside,
and possibly tilers on the roof.
And right at the end
would be the brickies,
laying the foundations
and building the walls
in various stages of progress.
Most of the work was done
with a brick trowel.
You put the bed on the wall with it
and you also cut bricks with it.
And my uncle,
who I worked for,
always said
'Never put the trowel down.
Once you put the trowel down
you're not laying bricks
and you're not earning anything.'"

Making homes
Finding work in Croydon
in the 1930s
could sometimes be hard.
there were jobs in the building trade.
People like Thomas
changed the countryside,
around Croydon forever.
New cheaper houses were built.
Places that had been small villages
grew and became part of suburbia.
The houses were often bought
by people who wanted a rural lifestyle,
as well as easy transport
to London or Croydon.

Ross McCormack scored with a late strike as 10-man Leeds weathered a storm to claim a 2-1 victory that denied Bristol City only their second win of the season in the npower Championship.
Striker McCormack swept the ball home from close range at the far post in the 86th minute following a flick-on from substitute Luciano Becchio as Leeds registered back-to-back home wins.
City midfielder Neil Kilkenny made a stunning return to Elland Road by curling home a first-half equaliser against his former club after Adam Clayton had fired Leeds into a third-minute lead.
Keith Millen's side were left to rue what might have been after taking control of the match once Leeds defender Paddy Kisnorbo had been shown a straight red card in the 64th minute for scything down City striker Nicky Maynard in the box.
But Maynard's subsequent spot kick was saved by Leeds goalkeeper Andy Lonergan and the Yorkshire side snatched all three points thanks to McCormack's seventh goal of the season.
Leeds made two changes, with left-back Aidy White back from suspension and midfielder Adam Clayton returning following a calf injury.
City lined up as they had done last week when losing 1-0 to Brighton and were quick to fall behind at Elland Road as Leeds raced into a third-minute lead.
Robert Snodgrass broke free down the right and his cut-back from the by-line was slammed home from 12 yards into the top corner by Clayton, who had burst forward in support.
But the home side's lead lasted only eight minutes. City midfielder Cole Skuse played the ball inside after making headway down the right and Kilkenny kept his composure 25 yards from goal and curled a fine shot into Lonergan's top right-hand corner.
McCormack went close for Leeds when his angled drive was tipped away at full stretch by David James in the 26th minute and the former England goalkeeper made more comfortable saves from Darren O'Dea's header and another shot from Nunez.
But City gave as good as they got as half-time approached. Striker Albert Adomah forced Lonergan to hold his stinging shot and winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce fired inches over after cutting inside from the right.
McCormack and Snodgrass both lifted shots over the crossbar early in the second half, but City soon wrestled the lion's share of possession.
The visitors were rewarded for their pressure in the 64th minute when they were awarded a penalty and Leeds reduced to 10 men.
Maynard wriggled clear in the penalty area and was blatantly hauled down by Kisnorbo, who was shown a straight red card by referee Fred Graham.
Maynard picked himself up to take the spot kick, but Lonergan guessed right and saved low to his left.
City midfielder Marvin Elliott sent a 25-yard shot fizzing wide and then headed straight at Lonergan as the visitors threatened to make their one-man advantage tell.
Elliott was off target with another header as Leeds battled gamely to weather the storm and substitute Becchio helped snatch the points.
The Argentinian headed the ball on in the area and McCormack pounced to deal City a late blow.

It's Almost Over
Our long National nightmare is about to come to an end.
It's yet to be seen if the Republic will survive the devastation of the Bush years, but millions of Americans and millions more worldwide are hopeful.
That hope is personified in one man.
Thank you Mr. Obama, for accepting this burden.

BSR - You made a really good point, that I rarely see made: it IS going to be a massive BURDEN. It's at times like this when I really wish that I were religious so that I could ask God to bless him and keep him safe.
On a similar note, I found the two prayers very moving . . . but Sigmund said that was just because they were hymns to unity -- which feels right for the moment.

I was moved by the speech. But even more importantly - I believe that things will change.
Not rapidly - the mess is too big, too filthy, too grave - but I believe that promises will be kept.
And that is something I have not felt for years now.
A new feeling; I still try to get used to it.

Rihanna Is Smoking Hot in Terry Richardson Shoot for Rolling Stone
Rihanna blows smoke in her new photo shoot with Terry Richardson for Rolling Stone magazine.
The singer had a fresh face for the spread and took on various outfit changes. In one set of images, she playfully poses in a pale pink leotard while she holds a burning blunt.
In an another set of black-and-white photos, she's more incognito, rocking a Polo bucket hat, shades, jacket and midriff top with shorts. In a more conservative look, Rihanna dons a pencil skirt yet still keeps it somewhat edgy with her black motorcycle jacket.
In other news, the singer will take part in the all-star lineup of performances during Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Besides what's sure to be a talked about performance, bad gal RiRi is up for awards in three categories including Best Pop Solo performance, Best Short Form Music Video and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

In any war, unfortunately, there are innocent casualties. Having recently been released from TNA Wrestling as that company makes its offensive against WWE, one wrestler knows this fact first hand: Cody Deaner.
Deaner (real name Chris Gray) was let go in December, less than a year after debuting with the company. Originally introduced as a mulleted redneck fan who won a contest to spend a night with Knockout O.D.B., the character later joined the roster as a full-time wrestler. As a singles wrestler, Deaner never really got a chance to escape the comedy role, even feuding over the Knockouts championship.
"What can happen when you have a character that's over the top like mine," he told SLAM! Wrestling, "is that the character stood out so much as a gimmick, that they decided to run with that. As a result, I was never able to show them my wrestling ability -- I was all character. Ultimately, the character has to go out there and wrestle. I would have liked to have been given more of an opportunity to show them what I could do in the ring."
With many new names being brought into the company over recent weeks, apparently the company felt that trims to the roster had to be made.
"My character was filling a void. It's what the show needed because nobody else was doing it. I was happy to do it -- I did it to the best of my abilities, and I was told I did it well. But what happened is that with TNA so over-saturated with talent, and only two hours of TV, the role that I was filling wasn't going to be given enough time on the show to warrant my being there."
That reason isn't entirely the case, according to some internet reports. Some websites have reported that it was Hulk Hogan who had recommended scrapping the character, labeling the redneck hillbilly as being too low-rent for TNA's new direction. Deaner doesn't put any stock into that theory, however.
"The thing about the internet," he noted, "is that you never really know what's rumour and what's fact. I was told by TNA management what I said earlier, that creatively they didn't have anything for me. Nobody in TNA management told me it was any other reason, and until I'm told otherwise by them or by Hulk Hogan himself, I'm not saying it's true."
In either case, and despite what happened, Deaner was overall very happy with his time in TNA, both from a professional and personal standpoint.
"I had the respect of my peers," he said, and "knowing that is very gratifying professionally. Kurt Angle actually sat down beside me once and said, 'You're very entertaining. You're great at what you do. I really enjoy watching you work.' Coming from someone that has done so much in this business and someone that I really respect, that is very gratifying."
"Other guys went out of their way to pull me aside and tell me I was doing a great job -- guys like Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, Dr. Stevie, D-Lo Brown, Savio Vega, Raven ... lots of guys. They didn't have to go out of their way to say that, but they did. It's one thing to gain the respect of the fans, but a whole other thing to gain the respect of your peers. To have them acknowledge my efforts was humbling."
Personally, Deaner enjoyed getting to work with many of his close friends.
"The locker room was really the reason why I really wanted to work there in the first place. I have a lot of friends there, guys like 'Showtime' Eric Young who I grew up in the business with, and Bobby Roode, as well as guys who I'd wrestled on the indy circuit and established friendships with, like A.J. Styles, Abyss, and Christopher Daniels. Getting to go to work and hang out with those guys was one of the most positive things for me."
Though understandably disappointed with the decision, Deaner sees his relase as a temporary setback only, and he's confident that he will return to the national stage again.
"They've left the door open," he said about potentially returning to TNA. "We left on very good terms. I spoke with Vince Russo, Terry Taylor, and Dixie Carter. They all said that they were very grateful for the job that I did when I was there, and that when the time is right, the door's always open for me."
In the meantime, he's back on the independent circuit, wrestling recently at Great Canadian Wrestling's New Years Evil show in Oshawa. Returning to his Ontario roots is always fun, he said, and he looks forward to getting the chance to perform in front of the fans who have seen him evolve in the business."
"Wrestling in front of those towns across Ontario is always special, because I've wrestled here for a long time, and have established a following here. Tonight (in Oshawa), people were legitimately happy to see me. It wasn't like they were seeing it as a guy from TV is here, but rather they saw it like a good friend coming back. That's how I felt, too. That's the great thing about independent wrestling. You get to establish yourself with the fans, and you get to wrestle in front of people that you know. They feel connected to you, and you feel connected to them. It's a great feeling."
On January 24, Deaner will be wrestling for Classic Championship Wrestling (formerly known as PWX) in Tilsonburg, Ontario, where he will be facing 'Dangerboy' Derek Wylde. Then, on February 13, he heads to Wyandotte, Michigan to take on the Sharp Dressed Man in a match for the Michigan Champion Wrestling Association championship. He is also in discussion with some companies in England and Australia for some international dates.
In the meantime, Deaner will be making some tweaks to his character, in an effort to one day get back to the big leagues.
"I'm not revamping the character entirely," he said, "but reinventing Cody Deaner for my new fans that I got from being in TNA. Those newer fans don't know me the same way the Ontario independent wrestling fans know me. I'm a funny guy, I can cut a promo, and I can work a wrestling match -- they don't know that. I'm going to do some YouTube videos, do a mini web series to show the fans something different. I'm still going to put a smile on their faces, but it's going to be a bit of a new and improved Cody Deaner that they've never seen before. I'm really excited about it, and I look forward to moving onward and upward."
Which is not to say that he's going to forget the fans that have been following his entire career. Indeed, he's very appreciative of their continued support, particularly the well wishes he received after the news of his release was made public.
"After the release, I got a lot of e-mail from fans, expressing their condolences to me, especially for being released right before Christmas. To hear that from the fans, was really nice. That makes you feel good, because for people to take the time to write me lets me know that I connected with them in some way. I hope they'll continue to support me and follow me in 2010, because there are a lot of new things coming. You haven't seen the last of Cody Deaner on your television screen. I promise you, you haven't seen the last of me. I'll be back. I'll be back."
Fans who want to contact Cody Deaner, and promoters who want to book him can reach him at either www.myspace.com/CodyDeaner, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. He wants everyone to know that he does not have a Facebook account, and that anyone purporting to be him on Facebook is not genuine.

Dwight Jewett built the Mt. Sugarloaf Hotel in 1864. His hotel was lucky, as it survived for a half century without serious incident: most other such houses burned down at least once in their career. By 1898, Jewett was elderly and hired others to manage it. In 1900, he began seeking a new owner. However, the fashion for mountain houses was beginning to pass, and the house was in poor repair. In 1902, a bill was submitted before the legislature of Massachusetts for the state to purchase the land. The bill sat in Boston for nearly five years before it was passed. The Act to Establish the Mt. Sugar Loaf State Reservation was passed in 1907. The Massachusetts General Court (state legislature) authorized a reservation not exceeding 100 acres "lying on the southerly part of said range now owned by Dwight Jewett and others." A total of $7,500 was allocated for this purpose. A decision was made that the hotel would be allowed to decay and would eventually be torn down. Instead, a "suitable pavilion with a covering to shelter visitors" was eventually erected.

Derby History Quiz
Current Quiz Archives of all quizzes
This quiz proved to be the most difficult since the Derby History quiz was first launched. The picture on the left showing Lydia Sherman's trial as a serial killer wasn't enough to keep people from guessing a far more famous building in Derby (The subject of another quiz!). However, Gould's armory has quite a history of its own as you will see by reading on.
It's future looks bleak as the picture above attests. We also want to thank Rick Dunne, Randy Ritter and Joan Driscoll who went above and beyond the call of duty by actually going into the armory to see what it looks like today. Unfortunately, it doesn't look much better inside than it does outside. The site is now currently part of the city's plan for redevelopment, and it's unlikely that the structure will survive. (The building was torn down in 2006!)
The building went up on the south side of Main Street sometime in the late 1840's. The building was erected by David Nathan an emigrant from Wales. According to noted Derby historian Albert Sherwood, David and his brother Isaac came to Derby to work in Anson Phelps' copper factories. Though without an education, they had experience in the copper industry in Wales. Isaac used the money he compiled to go into the hoopskirt business before moving on to St. Louis when the hoopskirt business went out of style.
David took to real estate as an investment and constructed the building above. Some thought the steep slope of the land made the lot commercially unviable, but David erected a building that has three visible stories on Main Street, but is actually six stories high if you go around to the back. The bottom three stories served as tenement housing for many of the factory workers of the area. The first floor on the Main street side (fourth floor overall) was designed for stores and the second floor for offices. The top floor (sixth floor) was a large auditorium and was much needed at the time. Prior to the erection of the building, most large functions were held in the basements of area churches.
"Nathan's Hall" became the Mecca of community activity. Its stage supported both local entertainers and road shows including an annual performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Great orators of the time including Henry Ward Beecher, George William Curtis, and Wendell Phillips boomed out scholarly lectures and at least one future president, James A. Garfield, also spoke here and both political parties held party rallies there and the Connecticut Socialist Party had its office there.
Perhaps the building brought the most joy to the locals when it was the site of many dances and balls. In writing about this, noted Derby historian Albert Sherwood said:
The Hotchkiss, Storms and Paugassetts held their annual concerts and balls in the hall.
Not only did the building serve as a court, but it also served as the center of government for the Borough of Birmingham until the new city hall (Sterling Opera House) was built. It had a jail on one of the lower floors and the chief of police had an office upstairs. It also served as a polling site for local elections.
The auditorium was also the first home of the Derby High School basketball program with games being played there starting in 1910. Boxing and wrestling exhibitions were also held there.
David Nathan died in 1880 and is buried in Oak Cliff cemetery. Some time after his death the name of the building was changed to Gould Armory and it continued to serve as a dance hall until the last dance was held in 1933. Today, it's future is uncertain as redevelopment seems poised to impose the wrecker's ball to a structure that played an enormous role in the history of the city and brought great pleasure to its inhabitants.
Correct answers were received from: Rick Dunne, Randy Ritter, Joan Driscoll, Andrew DeTullio, Millie from Ansonia, and Mayor Marc J. Garofalo.

Get directions to Wabash College Fine Arts Center
Wabash College is please to present the one-man play, Marx in Soho, written by historian Howard Zinn and performed by Bob Weick. The performance will take place at 7 p.m., Thursday, November 1, in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
Frustrated with what he sees and hears from our world, the late Karl Marx returns to earth for one hour to defend the relevance of his ideas and highlight the serious social issues facing our world today. Undaunted by limitations of time and the current political climate, Marx presents a dynamic and humorous examination of world history and American politics in Zinn's engaging play.
Playwright Zinn shows his characteristic gift of accurately humanizing, but not sentimentalizing, people most historians ignore at best or disfigure at worst. Zinn's dialogue doesn't preach, rather it is full of mischievous humor. American education, America's super rich ruling class, corporate mergers, prisons, political chicanery and the media are some if the timely issues Marx takes on during the course of the play. The production is dedicated to its educational potential and whether you agree or disagree with the ideas presented in the play, it is a touchstone to open classroom and community discussion about contemporary politics, historical analysis and economic philosophy in a dynamic way.
J. Cooper Robb of the Philadelphia Weekly says this about the play, "You may be surprised how many ideologies you share with the title character in the Iron Age Theatre's production of Marx in Soho. But if you're worried this somehow makes you a Marxist, fear not - it turns out Karl Marx didn't even consider himself one. There's an appealing purity to director John Doyle's production, as a lone storyteller stands before us and plainly relates the tale of the philosopher's life. It's capitalism for which Marx reserves his most impassioned oratory. He shakes his head sadly before admitting that since his death, 'Yes, capitalism has triumphed, but over whom?'
Whom indeed?"
Howard Zinn is America's leading progressive historian. Zinn is best known for his book "A People's History of the United States." Professor emeritus at Boston University, Zinn grew up in Brooklyn and worked in the shipyards before serving as an Air Force bombardier in WWII. Zinn was the chair of the History Department at Spellman College where he actively participated in the civil rights movement. He lives in Massachusetts and lectures on history and politics.
The performance, sponsored by the Hadley Fund, along with the History, Political Science and Philosophy Departments, is free and open to the public.

MILWAUKEE—Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper says there are lessons for Colorado lawmakers facing recalls to draw from the unsuccessful recall effort against Republican Gov. Scott Walker last year.
Hickenlooper joined Walker and other governors at a news conference Friday before the start of the National Governors Association meeting in Milwaukee.
Two Democratic Colorado state senators are facing recall elections over support for new gun legislation Hickenlooper backed that expanded background checks and limited the size of ammunition magazines.
Hickenlooper says the lawmakers should not back away from the issues, make their points strongly and get the word out. He says those are all lessons to be taken from Walker's successful defeat of the 2012 recall.
Walker is the first governor to ever defeat a recall.

|Rite of Election, Call to Continuing Conversion on March 5
|Around the Diocese
|Written by Patrick Gorman, For the Catholic Herald
|Thursday, Mar. 02, 2017 -- 12:00 AM
WAUNAKEE -- The Rite of Election of Catechumens and Call to Continuing Conversion for Candidates for Full Communion in the Catholic Church will be celebrated by the parishes of the Diocese of Madison on Sunday, March 5, at 3 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Church in Waunakee.
Parishes from throughout the diocese will send those who will celebrate the sacraments of initiation this Easter, as well as their sponsors, family, and friends. About 800 people are expected to attend, with Bishop Robert C. Morlino presiding.
'Election' means 'chosen'
The word "election" is used in this liturgy to mean "chosen."
In this liturgy, we acknowledge those who seek to be part of the Church have been chosen by God. The celebration comes from an ancient Christian practice of asking those who were to celebrate the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) to come forward at the beginning of Lent to show their intent.
The people of the Church, in turn, promise their support, guidance, and prayers. The celebration is one part of a long process that is called The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
The RCIA encompasses many facets of initiation, from the time a person first experiences the call of Christ or wishes to know about the Church, to the celebration of the sacraments of initiation and continued growth as a Christian.
It also includes adaptations for those who were baptized in another Christian denomination and seek to become members of the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
Liturgy welcomes catechumens to the Church
The sacred liturgy includes three distinct parts.
• First, all listen to the reading of Scripture and a homily. Then the catechumens -- all those who are seeking Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist -- are called by name to come forward.
The bishop offers a brief instruction and asks the assembled group a few questions. He asks their sponsors (those who have pledged personally to support each individual with prayer and instruction) and all of the assembled family and friends if they will continue to support the catechumens with their prayers.
• Then, the catechumens sign their name in the Book of the Elect. Their signature serves as a public display that they have answered the call of Christ, who calls each one of us by name.
• After the catechumens have signed the Book of the Elect, the candidates -- those who were baptized in another Christian denomination and wish to be welcomed into the Catholic Church -- are each called by name. The Catholic Church recognizes all Baptisms that have been celebrated with water in the name of the Trinity.
The bishop speaks to the candidates and once again asks their sponsors and the assembly if they will support them with their prayers.
Lent begins final period of prayer, preparation
Today, most dioceses celebrate this liturgy each year on the First Sunday of Lent. Lent marks the beginning of a final period of prayer and preparation for those who will be baptized, confirmed, and receive the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
Each parish celebrates many aspects of initiation (including the sacraments themselves) in their own church, but they come together for this Rite of Election as a reminder of the universal Church.
St. John the Baptist Church is wheelchair accessible. For more information, or if you have questions regarding accessibility, visit www.madisondiocese.org/worship or call the Office of Worship at 608-821-3080.
Patrick Gorman is director of the Office of Worship of the Diocese of Madison.

Samantha DeCarlo
Chemistry Major Earns Publishing Credits
Samantha DeCarlo was just a freshman when she started working in Professor Anne Marteel-Parrish's chemistry lab. Three years later, the research she conducted that summer has been published in the Spring 2009 issue of Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews, a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on publication of innovative new syntheses and procedures that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous materials.
In fact, her classmate Heather Sheriden '10, is also a co-author with Professor Marteel-Parrish in the same journal edition. The two young scientists got their introduction to green chemistry during the College's summer science research program in 2007.
"I had a pretty good idea I wanted to major in chemistry," Sam recalls, "and at the end of my freshman year Professor Marteel-Parrish invited us to work in her lab that summer. That was a really great opportunity."
Another exceptional opportunity Sam enjoyed was spending a semester abroad in Ireland. "It's tough sometimes for science students to go abroad and complete the required coursework on schedule, but my advisors worked with me so I could take two chemistry courses at University College Cork that counted toward my major," explains Sam. "It really was a great experience to see the world beyond the College community."
Sam's research project back home endeavored to develop a greener method for the production of electroceramic compounds used as semi-conductors in computers and communication devices. Chemists typically use toxic chemicals and large amounts of energy to synthesize perovskites, one of the most important structure class in all of materials science. Physical properties include superconductivity, magnetoresistence, ionic conductivity, and other dielectric properties useful in microelectronics and telecommunication. In Professor Marteel-Parrish's lab, Sam employed a synthesis that was less energy-intensive, less time-consuming and safer for the environment. Water—not acid—was the solvent of choice.
"It's interesting to look at established processes and try to make it more environmentally friendly," Sam remarks. She and Heather have shared their efforts so far with fellow chemists at the Sigma Xi conference and the American Chemistry Society national conference; they'll present again at a green chemistry conference in June.
Look for their articles "Towards a more environmentally benign synthesis of doped barium titanate" and "Generality of the environmentally benign catecholate method to the synthesis of barium-based perovskites" in the latest issue of Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews.
Senior Capstone Experience
Non covalent derivatization and crystal engineering applied to supramolecular aggregates and amphiphiles
Advisor: Dr. Anne Marteel-Parrish
Weak intermolecular forces govern many of the properties of a molecule such as diffusion, volatization, solvation, and phase transfer. In traditional chemistry the assembly of molecules is primarily centered upon covalent derivatization. Nowadays modern and green chemistry shifts the spotlight to the manipulation of non covalent intermolecular interactions, known as non covalent derivatization (NCD). Non covalent processes usually happen spontaneously and under ambient conditions, making them more environmentally friendly than their covalent counterparts.
The process that first applied NCD was the cocrystallization of hydroquinone (HQ), a supramolecular aggregate used in the photography industry as a photographic developer in Polaroid film. The first goal of my SCE project is to not only reproduce this published process but also extend this process to toluhydroquinone, a derivative of hydroquinone. Toluhydroquinone has a variety of uses and can take on the role of inhibitor, antioxidant, intermediate, and catalyst. The second goal of my SCE project is to look at self-assembly behavior and potentially apply NCD to polycyclic aromatic ammonium amphiphiles, used for the dissolution of carbon nanotubes in solvents.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there were any old clips of Jim around. After that post of Tom Jones and Jim I was really intruiged. I have seen a stand up comedy of him..... I saw a little of the unnatural act - which I would LOVE to see the full version of but cant find it anywhere.
Are there any other stand up clips or something funny he has done on tv?

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden

The United States currently faces a critical shortage of primary care physicians, and many experts predict the shortage will grow worse in coming years. In particular, health care experts say the nation needs more minority physicians because although African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans currently make up nearly 25 percent of the U.S. population, just 7 percent of U.S. physicians come from one of these ethnic groups.
An AMA-inspired outreach program dubbed "Doctors Back to School" aims to improve that situation. The AAFP has embraced the program, and, in cooperation with the AMA, has adapted the materials for use by family physicians.
Put simply, the initiative uses volunteers to introduce middle- and high-school-age minority students to family medicine and encourage them to consider family medicine as a career.
The program relies on physician mentors such as Gary LeRoy, M.D., of Dayton, Ohio, to deliver that message. LeRoy chairs the AAFP's Commission on Education and is the associate dean of admissions at Wright State University in Dayton. He has firsthand knowledge about the shortage of minority medical school applicants at his institution.
"We're seeing a diminishing number of applicants and especially of students who traditionally are underrepresented in medicine," said LeRoy.
Story highlights
- The AAFP has tailored the AMA's "Doctors Back to School" program for family physicians.
- The program uses volunteer physician mentors to educate middle-school and high-school students about family medicine and to encourage them to consider family medicine as a career.
- The Academy has a bevy of program-related resources on its website to help family physicians every step of the way.
The surge in the number of medical schools that have opened nationwide has created an "institutional dilution of a limited group of (minority) applicants," said LeRoy. Part of the solution, he noted, is to increase the number of minority students who apply to and graduate from medical schools.
According to LeRoy, reaching out to potential minority medical students is important because physician mentoring raises the level of awareness among minority teens about the career possibilities available to them. "They can't embrace an opportunity if they're not aware that opportunity exists," said LeRoy.
He plans to fold the AAFP's new program resources into the personal outreach activities he's been conducting with students for years. "I already do this in a nonofficial sense," said LeRoy. "I like talking to young people because it's very interesting to see the limited universe some groups of students live in; all they know is what they see and what's around them."
Minority students often are not aware of what it takes to become a doctor, and they seldom realize that they even have the capability to pursue the path to a medical career, said LeRoy.
AAFP Offers Resources
The AAFP is offering family physicians an entire online toolkit of resources(13 page PDF) to encourage them to participate in the Doctors Back to School program and to help them along the way.
For example, among the available resources are
- introductory talking points for use with school and community leaders;
- questions and answers explaining the purpose of the program;
- checklists and presentation timelines;
- tips on how to create an inspiring and interactive presentation tailored to middle-school students and high-school students; and
- a financial resources list that includes information on scholarships, student loans, loan repayment programs, and tips on how to save for college.
The AAFP encourages participating physicians to complete a presenter evaluation form and share their experiences -- along with photographs of their interactions with students -- with the AAFP. A sample photo release form for minors(1 page DOC) is available online.
Questions about the program -- as well as completed evaluation forms and event photos -- can be emailed to AAFP Student Interest Strategist Ashley Bentley.
Change a Life
LeRoy knows from personal experience that sometimes, something very subtle can open a young person's eyes.
"The thing that first inspired me to do medicine -- as goofy as this will sound -- was going with my aunt, when I was about 10 years old, to a doctor's office one evening to clean the doctor's office after hours," said LeRoy. "That was the first time that I became aware of what doctors do.
"Until that experience, it didn't even dawn on me that I could become a doctor," he said.
Should family physicians become active in this program?
You bet, said LeRoy. Young people have a lot going on their lives and they're easily distracted by their surroundings, he said. "Sometimes it takes somebody coming alongside a young person and saying, 'You can do what I do -- you can do even more than I'm doing.
"Giving an hour of your time can be a life-changing experience for a young person," LeRoy added. He called the program a "win-win" all around -- for mentors, mentees and for society as a whole.

It Shall Be Known By One Name
by Georgia Hardstark
For a few months now, my girl Alie and I had an idea for the perfect late night/after hours snack. It started as a joke. We found ourselves hungry after last call, and seemed to be having regular cravings for McNuggets.
Alie's obsession and constant quest to find the perfect alcoholic beverage/dinner/dessert (also see: White Russian), led us to concoct what is sure to become the new craze for the upscale watering holes.
Recipe by Alie and Georgia
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
2 McNuggz (plus more for snacking)
1 tub McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce (plus more for licking off pinky finger)
1 lg. Mcdonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake (plus more for bringing all the boys to the yard)
1 bottle Vanilla Vodka (recommended brand: Absolut)
Open the McDonalds bag. Eat one McNugg each, followed by two bites of the Filet-o-Fish (make sure you don't tell anyone that you eat Filet-o-Fishes).
Mix three or four shots of vanilla vodka in the McDonalds Brand Chocolate Milkshake, followed by one shot each directly into your mouth.
Rim each martini glass with McDonalds Brand Barbeque Sauce, and pour milkshake/vodka mixture into the glass. Garnish with a McNugg (which is to be swiped along barbeque sauce rimmed glass after the milkshake has been finished, and consumed with pure, unadulterated glee).
Photographic Evidence (thanks to my sister, Leah):
Purchasing the Goods (so exciting!)
It's bad luck to pour your own McNuggitini
Prepairing the McNugget garnish
Never pass up an oppourtunity to toast with a friend
Meat garnishing
After months of daydreaming, the final product is here!
"To life."
"Oh sweet Jesus."
Try really, really hard not to vomit.
Try again.
You're drinking a McNuggitini, it's almost required that you act like a dork
The money shot.
The End.

Over a third of UK organisations believe that flexible working is the most important benefit that they have experienced as a result of the London 2012 Olympic Games, according to new research by Vanson Bourne on behalf of BT.
In a survey of 600 large organisations in both the private and public sectors, 34 percent said that flexible working facilities brought in for London 2012 are the greatest business legacy of the Games, with a further 10 percent citing upgraded technology.
Furthermore, 37 percent of respondents said that they now have more trust in their employees working flexibly, as a result on the Olympic Games.
Encouraging businesses in London to adopt flexible working practices was one of the government's key aims ahead of London 2012, to prevent the capital's public transport systems from becoming clogged up during the Games.
In 2011, transport minister Norman Baker MP helped to launch the "Anywhere Working" consortium, to provide online training in technologies that enable flexible working, such as video conferencing and cloud document sharing, and allow organisations to participate in trials.
At that time, only eight percent of organisations with more than 1,000 employees planned to implement a flexible working strategy for the Games and, of those, 54 percent planned to keep it in place either permanently or on a trial basis after the Games, according to BT's research.
By the time London 2012 arrived, however, 34 percent planned to implement a flexible working strategy and 85 percent planned to keep it in place after the Games.
"As we saw in the business confidence results, managers now trust workers of all types to work flexibly. It's been proven," said Graham Opie, director and co-founder of Vanson Bourne, who presented the results of his research at an event in the BT Tower today.
"It's been a difficult management issue for some years, and the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) revolution and mobile communications in general have simply been pushing that forward. We have to see this as a watershed in flexible working."
Opie added that the public sector was already ahead of the game in terms of flexible working, with 43 percent of public sector organisations surveyed claiming to have used technology to increase responsiveness and resilience during London 2012
Of those, 54 percent used a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to enable flexible working, 28 percent invested in more infrastructure and 38 percent used or invested in WiFi.
One organisation that was under great pressure to deliver an Olympic legacy was Newham Council, which was a host borough for London 2012. The council's CIO Geoff Connell promised that this legacy would include a more resilient ICT infrastructure and new flexible working practices.
This involved scaling up the council's remote access capability to 1,400 concurrent users, and implementing a 7:10 desk to people ratio for Newham's main building. The council also moved from 27 smaller offices to a major base at the Royal Docks, saving about £2m a year.
"The Olympics gave people who had never worked from home before the opportunity to try it out during the Games; managers learnt to manage by output rather than presenteeism," Connell told Techworld.
"Our contact centre staff, who used to come into work every day, did their jobs from home and found they were more productive. I haven't seen them since – they never come back."
Tim Jones, corporate partner at law firm Freshfields, added that companies that have flexible working policies are more likely to engage employees, and are also more likely to gain an edge over their competitors when it comes to attracting new talent.
"The Paralympics have also changed organisations' attitudes to disability in the workplace, and flexible working associated with that, so the Games really have been a catalyst for change," he said.
Emer Timmons, president of BT Global Services UK, said that BT as a company has been working flexibly for years and, as a result, productivity has gone up 33 percent.
The company is now running a programme called "Powering up the professional worker," which examines the opportunities provided by workplace innovation and technology to the professional services sector, and helps customers implement flexible working policies.

Lost Tapes From The Attic- Classic sets uploaded https://soundcloud.com/lost-tapes-from-the-attic
Works fine as a stand alone. Really nothing special though IMHO.
I've been reading various enjoyably middlebrow Image things lately. Notably:
Injection - weirdy Warren Ellis folk horror of the malevolent-force-messing-around-with-reality variety. Contains sandwich crime.
The Wicked and the Divine - incarnate gods as teenage pop stars - sort of like Neil Gaiman mythwank but shot by Hype Williams instead of Tim Burton. Occasionally crosses the line into trying too hard but it's generally very good.
Black Monday Murders - international finance as blood magic. Sort of like From Hell but with Wall Street bankers instead of freemasons. Seems pretty great so far.
Oh and on a Marvel tip I've basically got addicted to the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. She has the proportionate strength and agility of a squirrel, she can summon and command squirrels, and she's beaten up Doctor Doom, Galactus, MODOK, Thanos, and pretty much everyone else. It's written by Ryan North who does Dinosaur Comics and it's a lot of fun.

#2 The Vintage Sofa Project
This sofa kicked off my obsession with re-upholstering furniture. I wrote a whole blog series about how I did it. This was originally part of a three piece sofa and I am currently working on the other piece. It's turning out so much better. I've done a lot of upholstered pieces in the last year and learned tons. I think I'm going to go back and update a few things.
#1 Diamond Tufted Headboard
My most popular post written this year was this diamond tufted headboard. It's definitely one of my favorite projects.
I would love to say I have taken the time to think about and write down goals for my business and blog for 2014 but I haven't. I'm not much of a formal goal setter. I typically just go with the flow and where ever it leads me. I want to try harder in the next year to be more intentional with things.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for your encouraging comments and emails. Next month will be my three year anniversary blogging. I will be having a giveaway on the blog and facebook just to say thanks so I hope you come back and enter. Have a happy and safe New Year!
