Speech of Senator Eason.
n. AMAeh of Hon. Bi njajim Easok, dell
i th S.nate. on the 17 A of April, on Mr
wil ta nonlah treason, to be foned
.i..h.r ta our columns, will be read with In
Wrest. Mr- Eason le a dear headed man, ol
umnil Indtment and dear perception, and bis
MnmMit as-slnei the constitutionality of the
bill will ettraot the attention and command the
reepect of all who read It.
CTTbe romor It that the Government will
.Mn make another call for troops. This rumor
wiU no doubt prov trae, sine It Is not probable
that 75 000 men added to the regular tore oi
tk.TTnir States ermt will be sufficient for
the emergeooy that Is before the country. In
the present state ol feeling In Ohio, we suppose
that 50,000 Tolnnteers could be raised in this
Stat In two weeks time, and hence It will fal
low that In any farther eell that the Govern
ment may make, a large body of men will still
be lelt at home, who stand ready and willing
to respond to the call oi the Government.
D" The unanimity of the Union sentiment in
Ohio (outside of the Western Reserve) is so
' overpowering as to compel such disunion sheets
u tho Cincinnati CemiiwreieJ and OAi SMe
Jmtmtl to rails the flag and shout for the Un
ion! Even the "Irrepressibles" In our legiela
ture, who bnt a short time ago were ready, will
ins and anxioni to let the Union elide, are now
falling into line and becoming the moet ardent
friends oi the Union. It will not surprise ss If
in a few days to come the Ashtabula Sentintl
.knnM Mint ont for the National flag- The
ntrit of the neode is up, end dlsuntonists
air m cannot resist the torrent of Union sent!
..ant that eomea with a voice like that of
many waters. It is exceedingly gratifying to see
this wholesome change of sentiment among the
. "higher law" men of our State, who, by their
disloyal course and disunion sentiment In times
past, have done their part to bring the country
to tta present deplorable condition. . We hope
hereafter, in all time to oome, we may have no
lughtr Uie men among us, but that all will recognize
the authority of the powers that be, and
when the cretent troubles shall be ended, th
c plrit of strife and dlicord will no more be beard

The Extra Session of the XXXVIIth Congress.
The President baa. issued his proclamation for
au extraordinary leisionof the neworXXXVIIth
Congress on th fourth of July next. Seven
States have seceded from the Union, leaving
twenty-seven, if no more secede befor the
fourth of July, to be represented at tbl extra
session. Of these twenty-seven S tatee, twenty
have elected their Representatives in Coogroe.
Th seven State which have their represent
tire vet to elect are the following:
Virginia, which elects thirteen members, on
tb fourth Thursday of May; North Carolina,
eight members, on the first Thursday in August;
Tennessee, ten members, on the same day;
Kentucky, ten members, on the first Monday in
August; California, two members, on the 1 ues
day after th first Monday in September; Mary
land, six members, on . the first Wednesday
la November, and Kansas, one member, at a
data of which we are not informed, if one has
been fixed by law.
It will be seen from the foregoing Hat, that if
th seven States in which elections for Repre
sentatives in Congrees have not yet taken
place, two, California and Kansas, are free, and
seven are slave States. Ia Virginia, the elec
tlon is to take place in season for the extra ses
sion. In other State where Congressional
lections have not taken place, it will be neees
Bary, If they wculd be represented at the extra
session, to hold special elections for the purpose
of choosing their Representatives to the
XXXVIIth Congress. This can be done, as on
former similar occasions, by the Governor of
each State oonvenlng the Legislature in speolal
session for the purpose of providing for these
special elections.
It may be proper to remark that of the seven
seceded States, South Carolina and Hor
Ida. befor their seoession, bad eleoted
their Reprntilve to the XXXVIIth Con
tress of the United States. Were the
whole thirty-four States to be represented In that
Congrees, the number of members In the House
of Representatives would be two hundred and
thirty-eight. The Constitution provides that a
majority of each House oi Congress shall con
stitute a quorum to do business. One hundred and
twenty members will constitute a majority of
the next House of Representatives. One hun
dred and fifty-five have already been eleoted,
wbloh makes thereby five more than are neo
essary to constitute a bare quorum. There
are, however, two vacancies to be filled in the
delegation from Ohio, and one In that from
The list of United States Senators, with the
exception of those from the seceded States, and
who, of course, are not expected to take their
eats, is complete. Unless under extraordinary
circumstances, which are not impossible to oc
cur in theee revolutionary times, It can hardly
happen that a majority of the sixty-eight Sena
tors, which wodd compose a full United States
Senate, will not be ready to take their seats at the
extra lewlon of Congress in July.

Mr. HARRISON, from th Judlciarv com
mute, recommended the passage of o. a. xu
To punish Treason, with the amendment of
fered yesterday by Mr. Harrison, and Mr. f ar
guson's amendments. Agreed to. -
Mr. KASON objected to tbe bill, because he
thought the United States laws sufficient for all
purposes, and prooeeded to examine tbe federal
law unen th subieot, and held that br the Con
stltution no 8tate has a right to try a case of
treason against tbe United States eucn of
fences being entirely within the .jurisdiction of
Congreet . Tbe supreme Uourt bad so dMUea
in sundry cases. The pending bill seek.
to change tbe order of proceeding prescribed by
federal law and the court., tbe mode of punish
ment and established practice in tb proaeou
lion of persons who may be fobarged with the
crime of treason agaiosi the United States.
It it sought bv this legislation to give
jurisdiction to the court ot this State to puuisn
treason asainst the United States, wbicb. in bis
judgments a dear violation of tb provisions of
the Constitution, and bleb ludioiai autnor
itv. Mr. Eason was no friend to traitors
and would bv no means obstruct tneir
punishment to the extent of the law
He was orroied to torturing or mis
construlogjthe Constitution in any way, or bring'
Ing ibe state and f ederal Courts Into collision
He believed tbe oassage of this bill would do
this. He believed that all civilized countries
inflict tbe death penalty for treason, vet this
bill departs from the nsnal punUbment, and
seeks to punish the crime by Imprisonment in
tbe penitentiary durlg Hie. ue was at a loss
to know why the State should attempt to take
power to itself which belongs exclusively to
Congrees. He saw no necessity whatever for
tbe pissageoftbe bill; it can do no possible
good, and might do much barm by being nted
as another eteo in the path of dissolution, and
mad a pretext to bring the Federal and State
government into collision. For I these and
other reasons he wonld vote against tbe bill.
Messrs. GARFIELD snd COX both deolared
emphatically, tbat by the express terms ot the
bill it wa designed to punish treason against
the Stat of Ohio, and it declares what shall
constitute treuon sgainst Obio. Various States
had naased nrecltel similar laws
Mr. KEY moved to recommit the bill with
Instructions to report the power of the General
Assembly to pass such a law.
Mr. GARFIELD said Mr. Eason bad doubt
less been misled bv a tvooeraobical error which
omitted the words "treason against the State of
Mr. KEY said he was anxious tb bill sbould
pass, if tbe Legislature has power to pasa It, and
he wanted that question examined. No doubt
ful constitutional power should be exercised, but
this being a case ot emergency, ce wouia wiin-
draw bis motion.

now flnd.sir, in th rapid suoaaaalrm of event
in this great trials, that it has oom to b al-
most a question of seir-preservation. It la now
apparent that it 1 th determination of th
Confederate States, backed by a powerful army,
and led on by a daring and sagacious military
chieftain, to seise tb Federal Cacital and da.
pose in existing government or wbloh w ar a
part. v
sir, whatever may bav been th oauses of
our troubles, or whoever may d to blam for a
aiiure to oomnrom a and admit than naanaah.
ly, we oannot permit th Confederate armylnow

ut uoeators, ana witn tnir ashet 1 expect to

as i neueve, 1 now praotloallv on between
tb two sections, I oannot hesitate whioh to
choose and where my fidelity sbould be pledged.
i ooiiev in Border oatte will ell leave, and
firm Union, perhaps for aggreaalv psrposee,
will b formed between all th slaveholdlng

Jefferaoa Davis will soon fix his haed-auart-

wiu not stop there. 1 believe it 1 bis lnten

tbe Interests of our soli and wlp out th track
of th iovadere In their own blood. Truly, sir,
the queatloo has occuloned a serious aspect.
I can not force the oonsequenoee, but surely it
is our duty to stand firmly on onr soil, to pro
tect th Government which exists, and If pr
mauent dissolution must occur, it will be under
oiroumstenoe In which w oan have somsthlng
to y of tb term of eeparatioo, and atand
strong ana ereot befor tb world.
Mr. CARLISLE said:
Ma. SrcAKiai My course has, in relation to
this important subject, been dictated by th
purest motive. I have oonoaed th suspension
of the constitutional rule, requiring bills to be
reau on toe separate daya, not because I would
detain the pasaage of the measure one moment
improperly, but because several member with
whom I usually act, earnestly desire to hear
from their constituents in answer to diepatehes
already sent out by them. The answers, a I
bav been assured, are necessary to determine
the oourse of those who have propounded them.
I have desired and still desire it shall take the
course pointed out by the Constitution. I shall,
therefore, vote to take final aetlon on to morrow
morning, believing that then th measure will
pass without a dissenting voice; while, if tb
rota i laien now, there 1 no doubt that very
many gentiemB;wiu oppose it.
Mr. MoCLUNG said tbat ha hailed with
pleasure the manifestation of a patrlotio devotion
to tbe country from the side of th House where
it w now manifested, and that thi feeling may
be reciprocated in th spirit it is tendered, be
moved that th Hons do now adjourn; which
was agreed to.

Mr. tL-Abur said: Mr. erxAKiB. 1 am one
of those who have from the first steadily moved
nd voted to suspend the rule, that tbls bill
might Dit'inilanter. I did eo. because I Jlnew
Jefferson Davis and his army of traitors, in alt
their rapid operations, moved under a -suspension
of all rules, without waiting to hear from
tneir constituents. .....
The times are pressing, and,' letting ' those
who sbould boar the blame of provoking this
war, be it our duty to meet tbe crisis as becomes
ns, and do our duty in defending what may yet
be defended, and saving what may vet be saved.
It is our fate: we cannot resist our fate. It is
onr duty: we must do our dutv. War is here!
not its shadow or spectre, - but war In person
real as steel and living as fire.
I, for one, would accept tbe issue, and meet
war with war, strong, quick and hot If I oan,
her to-day, give my voice for it, none should
hold back. The first call i for a march on
Charleston. Sir, that city waa my early borne

waters that washed It. I looked out at old Castle

and on the ocean bojond still the same, un

tore, 1 bad strolled along its parapets and clam
bered up tbe gun carriages to look curiously in
to the mourns ot tbe great black cannon, and
wondered ii actual war, such as I had read, of,
wonld ever come ngnln, and against tcAom it
wonld be waged, and what flig would wave over
the foe against whom those pyramids of ball
would next be burled, little dreaming the flag
that was next to quiver to tbeir detonation would
be a strange, traitorous sheet, unknown among
nations, or that those balls would fall around the
true banner of the Union.
I turned and visited tbe old, crambling.mos
grown church where I received mv earliest re
llglous teaching, and through the iron railing
looked upon tbe graves of mv plavmatea and
relatives looked my last loak. Slok at

It has been said: "Your country, may she al
ways be right; but your country, right . or

Our Government may be In the right, or maybe
in tbe wrong; but our country la alteayt right
can ntttr be wrong. ''
If I have long and steadily striven for, and
counseled peace, it Oits been beoause 1 believed
peace would give us Union. If I now say, war.
It is war for tbe Union peace for the Union-
war for Union concessions for Union-
force for the Uoion treasure for it blood for
it death for It svxbtthino for tne Union!
Mr. PARR followed t
Mb. SrsAKiR, tbe present moment should be
one of solemn reflection and deep thought. The
crisis that is now upon us was plainly loreahad
owed by Washington, the father of bis country,
and banded down to us In bis farewell address.
How much better it would bavo been for tbe
American people, as a body, to have faithfully
carried out bis advice thus given them.
I can, lor one, truly thank God, and say that
his farewell address has been my political chart
tbns lar through life. I can lay ray hand noon
my breast and eay before my God and this As
sembly, tbat tbe troubles now noon us nave been
brought about by other band than mine. If
peace should not be restored before I come to
lay this mortal body of mine down for tbe last
time, I can say of a truth to my wife and my
children, that your husband and your father's
skirts are clear of the blood tbat bas been or
may be shed In this unnatural war, brought upon
the Amerioan people by traitors to th Union,
both North and South.
But, Mr. Speaker, 1 shall rote for the billfnow
under consideration, ior tne reason tbe f resident,
noder the decision of tbe Supreme Court ot the
United State in th Dorr case, Is the sole Judge
ol the necessity of calling for troops. The refu
sal of a Siato to comply with tbe requirement
of tbe President, is a declaration that they do
not mean to comply with tho requirement of th
Constitution, and is a decided intimation that
they intend to leave. Tbe refusal is a violation
of the Constitution, and a denial of a binding
moral obligation.
Mr. Speaker, lot ns all of one accord Implore
Almighty God, to present some patrlotio Ameri
can statesman, who shall successfully prevent
tbe further shedding of blood, and fiually settle
all our troubles eo as mere may be a re-nmoa
of all the stte.
Air. AiNUJtvra earn: inree days ago,
when the bill was introduced into thi branch
of th General Assombly, I announced that my
vote would be recorded In its favor. I could not
do otherwise, because, In the second week of tbe
present session nearly three months ago res
olutions looking toward an' emergency ol this
kind, and pledging the whole strength or the
State, received my approval, I have opposed
the suspension of constitutional rules, that re
quire alt bills to be read three several days be
fore the final vote, not because I have hesitated
a moment as to the propriety, nneer the oiroum
stances that exist, in making this unprecedented
appropriation, but because it is. an application
of money to the tupport of troops, and not a
meuure for mustering forces into service, for
which it has been mistaken; and-because no
urgency whatever, not allowed by tbe consti
tutional rule, has exUted- . , . , . - i
This rule of tho Constitution was wisely In
serted, in my judgment, for the purpose, among
others, of preventing hasty and in considerate
legislation In times of excitementlike tbe present
Tbe first troops arrived bere a few hour sinoe
not a moment has bete, lost or thd least Incon
venience experienced by the three days delay of
this bill. Now, that it is at the proper time
befor ns, I shall cordially vote for it, not be
causa of tbe pressure of the wild excitement
tbat reigns bere, or the impertinent attacks of
correspondents and letter wmera mat we nave
privileged on ibis floor, but beoause tbe meas

Mr. STOUT then (aid:
Mr. SriaKra: No man In Ohio regret more
deeply than I do the existing state ot offiirs in
our eountry. No man ha tried harder to pre
vent the shedding of blood than I have in my
hnmble spher. For many year tbe dark cloud
that now "lower o'er our bouse" has been
gathering, and threatening to buret In . mighty
torrenta npon our heads. Uur people have been
faithfully warned of the approaching tempest.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison,' Monroe and
Jackson, all warned tb people against tbe dire
ful oonsequenoee of the agitation of tb slavery
question, but tbe entreaties of those ever mem
orable sages and patriots have been spurned
and disregarded, Now the dia of battle and tbe
clash of arms is heard in our mldct, now is tbe
"winter of our discontent," now one section of
our country i in hostile array against tbe other.
Now martial musio is heard in the streets of
every town and olty in tbe land, and tbe sword
is unsheathed, glittering in th sunbeams of
heaven, in tbe hand of brother pauting for the
blood oi brother.
It la no time now, Mr. Speaker, for crimina
tion and recrimination; we should not now stop
to quarrel about the causes tbat have brought
about th war that is npon us. Suffloient is it,
forns to know that we ar in tb midst of a blood
y revolution, to prompt ns to immediate and effl.
dent action Ictbe premises. Sir, I have hoped,
and alnoerely hoped, for a peaceful settlement
ot the dimoultiei tbat bav existed in our
Union, until hop is lost in the dreadful realities
of civil war. Sir, while I deprecate and protest
against the oauses that have conspired to bring
about this state of things, I vote for the bill un
der consideration. I vote for it, sir, because
am aworn to support tbe Constitution and
laws of the United States, I vote for
for it, sir, because that flag which, to-day, floats
in majestio grandeur over tbls Hall, that nig
that waa handed down to ns through the toil,
tbe treasure and tho blood of our forefathers,
has been usailed, and ruthlessly torn from
ite proper place, - and some other flag
thrown to the breete in its stead. And,
sir, when stripes, the stars and tbo
eagle, wbloh have been and still are tbe pride
and glory of every lover of his country,
are thus assailed, and the men who bear them
shot down like wild beast of the forest. I, for
one, cry "Havyo and let slip the dogs of war."
Sir. I vote for tha bill under the hone that it
will aid in perpetuating our blessed Union, and
sincerely nope that "tbe star spangled banner

I have been a Democrat throughout mv political

In conclusion, Mr. Speiker, let me address

in tbe God of battle and in tbe patriotism and

I am ready to vote for it now. Thousands

But, sir, it is evident from the tone of remark
that gentlemen have heard from tbeir constl-

qneslion of national existence with us, and we
must dtoide whether we will support th Gov

or th it of the Confederate States, whose chief
is Jefferson Davis. As it is a vital question of
existence with tho Government, there can be

spirit of patriotism and love of country.
I am a young man, and I believe full of pat

Mr. HAMILTON Bald: I, Mr. Speaker, an
In favor of ibis bill. When the liberties of my
country are in peril; when we are oallod on to
decide for ourselves, ard ior future generations,
whether we shall sustain a government which
is a model for the world, an Institution of olvll
liberty wbioh hat been unequalled in th histo
ry of the human race; I say, when I am called
upon for means for its support, and indeed, for
its existence and perpetuity, I, wlthoal hesita
tion and without reserve, au ready to vote mil
lions for Its defence, and, if need be, billions for
its perpetuity. Mt. Speaker, this Institution of
oivil government, established on tbls Western
continent, is a boon tbat we oannot too highly
prize It wu purchased by blood and treature,
and shall we, to whom bas been transmitted thi
rich inheritance, suffer it to be (tabbed to
the heart in Its iiiiacy er It ha at
tained the ago of bloomlug youth T Never
no, never shall it be said tbat wo permitted
this infant prodigy oi civil government to be
strangled in its childhood a poliov wbicb forty
centuries bave been maturing. We are in th
midst of war. The Rubicon has been crossed;
Sumter has been demolished by tbe act of trai
tors; ano our struggle is one of life or death.
What shall we, then, say 7 "Give me liberty or
give me death."
The flag of ' my oountry has boen strioken
down and trampled under foot by the Very men
which it has nourished and protected. Caroli
na, the ungrateful child, has stabbed her Alma
Mater, and would fain dethrone the goods in ber
maduosa. Tbe world with horror beholds tbe
suicidal act, and civilization stands aghast at
its consequences. Tbe teeraiug masses of Ear lb
witness, this day, our net, wben we pledge onr
lives, oer fortunes aud our sacred honor iu free
dom's holy cause.
I say, the oppressed masses of the e&rth bear
witness to our aot to-day, wben we declare "lb
Union must and shall-be preserved," an asylum
still ior th down-trodduu of all land. Ohio is a
uuit for tbe Union of the States. She has no
iograte sons that desire to sever theee bonds of
brotherhood. Though we may differ, and hon
estly, too, its to the proper policy tbat we should
adopt to attain the desired end, yet we are ail
Demuorata, we are all Republicans. We are
bound by a mystio tie of a common brotherhood
in one family, and a member ita tbe great fami
ly of States, In which a few, in a fit of frenzy,
bave turned truant. I gay, then, that we are a
one man for the Union. The administrator of
the laws of our country asks our succor and sup.
part. Ohlo will respond to tho call, and main
tain her loyalty. '
Mr.STIERSsaid: . r
Mr. SriABia, I rear to say much, lost I might
say something to break the foree of the eloquent
and patrlotio remarks already made. I endorse
tbem most heartily, I hire always tried to
love my country, and now, in the midst of its
perils, I love it still more, and shall rally round
its support; the Union, the entire Union must
bavo a place in my affections. Il hag been the
pride of my boyish days, and the bop of my
more mature years. In God, I trust thi bop
may not dio. I have been, and still seek to bo,
her dutiful son. ,
Though I entertain my own views in regard
to the oauses which have brought us uoon tha
thresbhold of a terrible oivil war, and it mayjb
to an iuhuman despotism.
Our present troubles could and ought to bavo
been arreetod, but the crisis is upon ns, and w
must meet it with decision and firmness. - Our
only hope is in tbe patriotism of our people, end
in the God of battles. Though som feature
of the bill are to me objectionable, yet I oannot
hesitate in times like these to come to my coun
try's rercoe. ,'.,., '

Resources for Leadership
Spirit in Action | Leadership Development
Founded by Linda Stout, Spirit in Action offers resources for leaders and for communities who are open to making changes, both wide and deep. Their leadership development provides training for those who are ready to take a long hard look at themselves in order to learn how they can begin to show up differently and thus make more effective change.
Movement Strategy Center | Dare to Change
This is Movement Strategy Center's latest report and it's focused on environment justice leadership, "[challenging] environmental justice leaders to take a bold, proactive and united stance for what [they] really need and want…Dare to Change explores the unique leadership that environmental justice movement brings to this moment and five strategic questions to help the movement generate the synergy, alignment and momentum needed to move to the next level." Download the PDF here.
Searching for resources on leadership, I ran across RoadMap. It includes a resource library that covers capacity building, leadership development, leadership transition, community organizing, civic engagement, racial equity and more. As an organization Roadmap's focus is to support organizations in creating change. Learn more about RoadMap here.
Leadership for Social Justice | Capacity-Building Resource Manual
This PDF was developed by leaders from several social justice organizations and it's geared toward the development of new leaders. Those who would make best use of the exercises and handouts in the manual are those planning on facilitating workshops and training events.

TNA Impact taping
Dark Match
1. Robbie E defeated Bobby Shields. Sheilds is from the Team Taz Academy.
TNA Impact Taping
We open with a Mr. Anderson promo in the ring. A white board is set up and Mr. Anderson has what looks like a college professor with him. Anderson says that the math doesn't add up to why he doesn't get his rematch. Mr. Anderson eventually hits his finisher on the professor.
Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff come out saying TNA is theirs. Hogan said Anderson would have to go through Rob Van Dam tonight to earn his title match. After Rob Van Dam comes out and has a few words, Sting's music hits. He announces that after discussing it with "the network" that he would be the special enforcer for Mr. Anderson vs Rob Van Dam.
1. Mickie James defeated Tara with her finisher.
2. Okato defeated The Pope by DQ.
Ric Flair, Matt Hardy, and Bully Ray are in the ring. Flair puts over Hardy and Ray as the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time. Ray and Hardy have a few words of their own before calling out the remainder of Fortune. Fortune hits the ring and a brawl is on. The lights go out and Abyss returns with a new look. He leaves Fortune laying in the ring as Ray, Flair, Hardy and Abyss head backstage. This sets up a Lethal Lockdown match at the Lockdown pay-per-view.
3. Hernandez and his partner defeated Matt Morgan and Brother Devon in a street fight.
4. Rob Van Dam fought Mr. Anderson to a no contest. The referee went down so Sting served as Guest Enforcer. Anderson hit the Mic Drop on the outside but Sting refused to count out RVD. Because of that Mr. Anderson went after Sting. We got a pull-apart brawl to presumably end the episode.
1. Max Buck defeated Jeremy Buck.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: The Media (in any form) (11/11/10)
TITLE: Repeat
By Sara Harricharan
I hung up on my aunt, my best friend of twelve-years. She was old enough to be the mother I didn't have and young enough to replace the sisters I'd lost.
She was also, always, unfailingly correct in her predictions.
"You're going to change your major." She'd announced. "I think you should do something with computers."
"Computers?" I rolled my eyes. "Great. I don't even know how to-"
"Pray about it. Ask God to give you an answer and let Him take care of the headaches, alright?"
I'd prayed.
I'd waited.
I was still waiting.
Answers were taking longer than I had the time to spare.
I don't want to take computer stuff. It's hard. It's confusing. It'll take forever! I've always been an Art Major and I like it that way!
The can of nuts on the table invited me to sit on the sofa, so I did, with the canister sitting on my stomach and the nuts crunching in my mouth. It was sweet and salty at the same time, as I found myself turning the TV on to flip through random channels.
There wasn't anything worthwhile on at this time of day, except for a special educational program on girls in science and math-based careers. I watched until the credits rolled and my neck seemed permanently stuck sideways.
I turned the TV off and headed for kitchen, in search of a more substantial snack, when the mailman rang at the door. I signed for a the mail and fished out the latest digest magazine. There were plenty of silly jokes, a few odd articles and a section on women in computerized fields.
I read the story from beginning to end.
Nice fairy tale. It's about time some smart girls got the credit.
I tossed the magazine on the coffee table and bypassed the kitchen to snag my laptop from the den downstairs. The usual homepage flickered to life as I took a moment to check my email and reply to a few messages.
Three of the headlines had some relation to women and computer science.
I started scribbling on the sketchbook from the laptop bag and tried to push away the nagging feeling in the back of my head. I was an artist. There was nothing linear and sequential about me.
I was free, random and eccentric. I was allowed to be that way, because art was a beautiful excuse.
Math and science were simply irritating subjects and courses that I'd had to take in order to skate through school and the first year of community college. Any science-related major would require more science and most of them deviated to something that also involve additional math courses.
A general headache.
I could do without headaches.
The laptop glare was making my head hurt, so I quit to scribble in my diary instead. The weird observances popped up again as I turned on the radio for some background music and heard a special report on my favorite talk show.
They were discussing the most profitable careers and majors that led to them.
I turned the radio off.
Ashley called for help with her Calc II homework and I suggested different experiments until she remember the right method. Her words echoed in my head, bouncing off Aunt Vic's own declaration.
"You're really smart you know. You can do anything you want—you know, stuff besides art. I mean, really, you're good!"
Ashley was a math major.
Oh snap. Loverly.
The first slap of the mental wet towel snapped me out of my funk. I can be dense, and oblivious to facts until it has hit me in the face.
This is one of those times.
I'd waited for an earth-shattering revelation of some sort to declare my major for me. I hadn't been looking for subtle repetition and gentle nudges.
I hadn't been looking for His answer, I'd been waiting for Him to parrot my own solution back to me. I could keep on pretending, but I already had all the pieces of my life puzzle before me.
All I had to do was put them together.

Tara Das
Professor of Physics
|Academic History:
|Research Areas:
My research interests have been, and continue to be, focused on the first-principle understanding of electronic structures of atomic, molecular, solid-state and biological systems including the aim to explain their spectroscopic (optical, ultraviolet and infrared), magnetic and hyperfine properties. My research group, especially the Ph.D. students, and post-doctoral physicists, are trained to interact closely with experimentalists, using their theoretical predictions of properties of systems to compare with experimental results and in partnership with experimental groups try to attain a proper understanding of the mechanisms and factors that contribute to a variety of properties including magnetic and hyperfine properties, the latter being obtained by experimentalists by a variety of experimental techniques, ranging from laser techniques for atomic properties to various magnetic resonance techniques, including nuclear magnetic and quadrupole resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance, and associated refinements in these, including a variety of double resonance techniques for solid state (including systems of interest in material) and biological systems.

EIGHT years ago, he founded the Jaipur Literary Festival with just one author – himself – and an audience of 14 people "who must all have taken a wrong turn".
These days, though, William Dalrymple bestrides the world like a literary colossus. That Jaipur literary bash – the latest of which ended last week – is now the third-biggest literary festival in the world, and this year's was attended by both the Dalai Lama and Oprah Winfrey.
On top of that, his new book, Return of a King – a brilliant history of Britain's First Afghan War – is attracting both rave reviews and high-profile readers to match: on his recent trip to Washington, President Kharzai was seen with a copy. A string of appearances at literary festivals lay ahead: Dubai, Pakistan, Burma, and the book's Afghan launch, which he hopes could be in the beautiful Babur Gardens by the tomb of the first Mughal Emperor in Kabul.
All of which, though, will be as nothing compared to his next event in Edinburgh – at 7pm on Tuesday at the Royal College of Surgeons in the Old Town. Tickets are £6, which includes a £5 discount on the book, and can be obtained from the front desk of Blackwell's Bookshop or over the phone on 0131-622 8218.
A study in success
According to the Bookseller, Richard Parsons's books sold more than those by Ian Rankin, Enid Blyton and Stieg Larsson put together, Richard Who?, I hear you ask, and rightly so, because he doesn't actually write all the books that carry his name on their inside cover and which last year increased their sales by 7 per cent to £8.3 million.
What he DID do, however, was to have the idea – in 1995 – that students needed better study and revision guides, write some himself, and set up the company that has produced more than 600 of them. All I can find out abvout him is that he's 47, has never given an interview and runs a petrol station and leisure centre in Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria.
Dream debut
Bookworm is glad to see that Ullapool Book Festival's love affair with literary Canada is continuing. A late addition to May's programme is Wayne Johnston, whose Colony of Unrequited Dreams has been hailed as one of the most important Canadian books ever published.

Despite A Staff Shakeup, AOL Ventures Lives On With Co-Founder Jon Brod At The Helm
Fortune reported earlier today that Mike Brown Jr. and much of the team that ran AOL's venture funding arm have formed their own VC firm — Bowery Capital — that aims to find and fund enterprise-friendly startups. While it's somewhat heartening to see a new firm set up shop in New York City, there's another weighty question here that hasn't been answered yet… Read More
Hipster's Doug Ludlow Joins AOL Ventures As Its First 'Innovation Partner'
Doug Ludlow, formerly the CEO of AOL-acquired photosharing startup Hipster, is leaving the company's mobile team (where he was a senior director) to become the first innovation partner at AOL Ventures. Since this is a new role, it sounds like a lot of the details are going to be figured out on-the-job. Ludlow said the position arose from discussions he had with AOL CEO Tim Armstrong and… Read More

Wherever I lay my overdraft, that's my phone
First Direct launches mobile phone banking service
Bank managers will soon be playing Big Brother by calling your mobile phone every time you are in the red. Within weeks, users of telephone bank First Direct will be hit by the new service which sends text messages on balances and recent transactions. Messages appear twice weekly on two accounts. The scheme will expand in the next few months, calling customers every time they go overdrawn or reach a certain limit on up to three accounts. First Direct will also send information about specific credits or debits -- including salary payments or everyday expenses. The service will be free for the first six months. Financial masochists can then pay £2.50 per month for the privilege. First Direct is running the scheme through the phones it started selling with Cellnet at the end of last year. Initially, the cellular service will only be available to customers who have bought these handsets. The bank, owned by HSBC Group, said it may branch out to other digital mobile phone owners by the end of 1999. A First Direct representative told The Register: "This is not a compulsory service, and it is entirely up the individual how to tailor it. It is designed to help our customers with their finances." Peter Simpson, First Direct commercial director, said: "We have taken another step towards our goal of giving customers full control of how they conduct their banking." ®

So, my friend Emanuel asked me if I could be willing to write a post with presentations of books that have shaped and influenced me. And this I will do; but a few words in advance are in order. The image of pilgrimage has become more relevant to me in my understanding of theology, during the last, say, 5 years. I have read quite a lot of material, always with a look to getting a deeper grasp of the truth of Christianity and existence in general - and there have been deep motivations for this journey in my personal identity, feelings, thoughts etc. In any case: It is a journey; there have been twists and turns that were quite unexpected, I am continuously revising ideas and opinions, and I have ended up in places that I never believed I would.
Therefore I must say, as I often do, that the following thoughts will be revisable, since my process is far from being over. To some extent, they are guaranteed to be revised. But that's also some of the fun of going on an existential journey. (And in any case, the greatest revisions take place whenever you get knowledgable within a whole new field of research.) Well, enough talk; now for the books. I will give the author and title, and simply write a few lines on what it's about, and perhaps also how the book has influenced me. Also, I give a rating, from one to five stars. This list is of course not in any way exhaustive of anything, and there is no particular order here either. Hope you all will enjoy it, still!
Edward Feser - The Last Superstition (XXXXX)
Brilliant book by a philosopher who gave up modern, secular philosophy for the classical, thomistic tradition. In this book he argues that modern materialism and naturalism/scientism are demonstrably false ways of viewing the world, and that the thomistic alternative represents a more rational alternative. This book was instrumental in making me believe in philosophy's deep relevance for theology; it also brought me a whole lot closer to the roman-catholic church, since protestant churches most often do not see the need for philosophy.
Feser - Locke (XXXXX)
Another brilliant book that argues forcefully and rationally that modern liberalism is in deep trouble - and that it will dig itself deeper into the hole if society does not turn to some variety of classical natural law. This is certainly a very challenging book, since it forces us to think deeply about where society is heading, and how we should think about changing this direction.
Feser - Philosophy of mind (XXXX)
Very good book that discusses modern philosophy of mind from an Aristotelian perspective - right in the face of the secular materialist dogma. For a more thorough presentation of philosophy of mind - though a presentation that is very much leaning towards mechanistic materialism - see Jaegwon Kims "Philosophy of mind." These books balance each other quite well. My view goes along the lines of Feser's. I find many features of Kim's view of mind simply unbelievable.
Feser - Aquinas (XXXXX)
A brilliant introduction to the thought of Aquinas. But then again, there are quite a few of them. Feser's stands out by engaging many recent critiques of Aquinas' thought. Generally it seems to me that Aquinas is immensely important in giving us as Christians a thorough introduction to philosophy, as seen from a Christian vantage point.
Brian Davies - Most everything. I could briefly mention his introductory books on Philosophy of religion and his book on the existence of God and the problem of evil.
NT Wright - Everything (XXXXX)
NT Wright is quite simply the most brilliant NT scholar I have come across. He is so informed, he forms intelligent and plausible hypotheses, and he sticks so "darn" close to the text. His multi-volume series "Christian Origins and the Question of God" is what to read. Many pages, but definitely worth the time. His popular books are, well, popularizations of these more scholarly ones. But they are very "pastoral" in nature. Wright has more than anyone else shaped my preaching and my views on the basic shape of early Christianity.
NT Wright - Justification (XXXXX)
This is the book where Wright slams most of the american conservative evangelical community and shows that most have more or less misunderstood what Paul is up to when talking about justification. A brilliant book which made me re-think roman-catholic views on justification. (Basic point: The Lutheran insistence on the forensic nature of justification is well taken, but Paul also speaks of final justification, and this comports more with RC thinking, though they have a faulty view of what justification actually amounts to. It is an act of judgment, not a process of transformation.)
NT Wright and Stephen Neill - History of interpretation of NT, 1850 and onward (XXXX)
While we're at it; this book is also quite informative, and gives a very useful overview of different directions in NT research in the last century and a half. Provides perspective when assessing contemporary research.
Conor Cunningham - Darwin's pious idea (XXXXX)
Very important - and brilliant - book, which shows a number of things, notably: That Dawkins' interpretation of biology often is deeply flawed, according to mainstream scientists working in cutting-edge research. That modern materialism is an ideology which is not supported by either metaphysics, nor natural science. That an orthodox - though often not a modern! - view of Scripture, origins, humanness and so on, can accomodate and even explain modern findings of natural science. This book is a tough read, but so very worth it, if one is working in the field of science and theology.
Christian Smith - From evangelical to catholic in 95 difficult steps (XXXX)
Smith's eminently readable and personal book about his way from evangelicalism to catholicism. Hardly unbiased, but still well researched. Really helps you to rethink both evangelicalism and roman-catholicism.
Jaroslav Pelikan - Riddle of Roman Catholicism (XXXXX)
Pelikan's book is very well researched, and gives a wealth of interesting information on the RC church and how it came to be what it is today. Presents valuable thoughts on conversion, and also a mildly critical attitude towards the RC Church - which is perhaps needed in our times.
Jaroslav Pelikan - Christianity and classical culture (XXXXX)
This is an immensely important book, which I actually haven't read from cover til cover...yet. The subject is very relevant for today's issues in theology, philosophy and society. I should also mention Pelikan's history of dogma, but I believe you're already familiar with it (to other readers: It is a brilliant series).
Alasdair Macintyre - After Virtue; Whose Justice, which rationality; Three rival interpretations of moral enquiry (XXXXX)
These books are really important, and they represent a shattering and incisive analysis of modern-day moral philosophy. After reading the first half of After Virtue, one will not see things in quite the same way ever again.
Oliver O'Donovan - Bonds of imperfection; The Desire of the nations; From Iraeneus to Grotius (XXXXX)
Essential reading for issues concerning theology, church, politics and society.
James D Hunter - How to change the world (XXXXX)
Really important book which challenges a lot of common notions within the evangelical community, on how societies change, and what strategies Christians should employ.
Robert P George - Clash of orthodoxies (XXXX)
Several good essays on important issues regarding life, death, sexuality and natural law, by a prominent catholic philosopher. Check out all his other books too; several of them are quite important.
Lindberg/Numbers - God and nature (XXXX)
Several important essays on the historical encounters between theology and science. Gives an informed scholarly overview of an area that is fraught with myths. Numbers has also written the definitive historical study of creationism as a movement.
James Hannam - God's philosophers (XXXXX)
Hannam's Cambridge doctoral thesis, wherein he shows that it was the medieval age that laid the crucial foundation of modern natural science. Dispels the myth of a singular "Scientific revolution" which separates the medieval from the modern age.
John Henry Newman - Development of Doctrine (XXXXX)
A real classic which tackles an immensely important subject for modern theology; the problem of development. Theology does develop, but what is the nature of development, and what developments are really legitimate? Sheds lots of light in important theological/dogmatic issues, and how they were shaped and came to be, in the context of the early church.
Owen Chadwick - Bossuet to Newman; on development of doctrine (XXXX)
A good book on the issue of development of theology, perhaps THE most important issue in the controversy between catholics and protestants (according to Pelikan). Lash has also written on this issue, but his book his almost impossible to get a hold of!
Kenton Sparks - God's word in human words (XXXXX)
I could have mentioned Peter Enns' "Inspiration and incarnation," it's just that Sparks' book is much better and more thoroughly researched. And well - to evangelicals, this book is something of a bombshell. It goes deeply into the critical issues in OT research, and shows very convincingly that many of the results of critical research really are trustworthy. He argues step by step, and it is easy to follow him. And well; if one accepts his arguments - as I did - it means that one (as an evangelical) must really rethink a whole lot of things. This book had a big impact on me, though I am unsure of what to make of his "hermeneutic of accomodation". See references for more reading on these issues.
Sparks has also written a quite decent book where he discusses more deeply some of the hermeneutical/systematic/moral issues following from modern critical research. "Sacred word, broken word." The book created some controversy in the evangelical camp in the US, I think.
Dennis Lamoureux - Evolutionary Creation (XXXX)
This is a brilliant book by a very competent scholar. Though more precisely some parts of the book are brilliant, and some are...well...less so. The parts that are really good, and that really represented an earthquake in my whole theology, are the ones that discuss "ancient science in the Bible." His hermeneutic solution - the "message-incident" principle is less satisfying, I'm afraid. But this book represents a major step forward in the evolution controversy (though Cunningham's book above is in a whole other league, to be honest).
John Walton - Genesis 1 as ancient cosmology (XXXXX)
To really make sure that Lamoureux's conclusions were sound, I had to read more deeply into the issues he discussed. I. e. I read for instance Stadelmann's "Hebrew conception of the world," which basically confirmed and reinforced what Lam. had stated. In any case, Walton's book on Genesis 1 does the same thing, but it also discusses brilliantly how the text actually should be understood, when taking the Ancient Near Eastern background into account. A brilliant book that raises some profound questions not only about creation, but also about hermeneutics.
Daniel Fairbanks - Relics of Eden (XXXX)
I used to be something of a creationist, but that is a long time ago now. I was very much into the ID movement, and read both Behe, Johnson and Dembski (along with some of the more extreme YECs like Morris). Books that really put to rest my doubts about evolution being a fact about our pre-history, were (among others): D Prothero; Evolution - what the fossils say...; Douglas Futuyama: Evolutionary biology and also another book on creationism; Jerry Coyne: Why evolution is true; Isaak's Counter-creationism Handbook; Strahler's Science and Earth History; Kenneth Miller's Finding Darwin's God. Well, there were more, too. But the nail in the coffin was Fairbank's book, which shows how impossible it is to deny our evolutionary connection with our ancestors, given our present knowledge of our genetic material.
But note: Evolution has happened, but how it happened, and also what metaphysical conclusions may be drawn from it, are quite different issues, though of course related. Again, Cunningham's book is the best guide here. (What would we have done without that book?)
Timothy Ware - The Orthodox Way (XXXXX)
Gives a sorely needed presentation of Orthodoxy. That was important to me, though much is still quite dim and unclear to me about this ancient part of the Church.
John Milbank - Theology and Social Theory (XXXXX)
Haven't read this, but everyone says it's brilliant. Milbank's writing is often contracted and hard to understand. But it runs very deep, so it's worth the effort.
Charles Taylor - Secular Age (XXXXX)
Brilliant, helpful and thorough analysis of why our age is "secular" and what this really means. Taylor has also written "Sources of the self," which is supposed to be really good. Haven't read it. See also Michael Allen Gillespie's The theological origins of modernity, and more references in Taylor's works.
Timothy Bradshaw - Aristotle East and West
Important book which gives an analysis of the interpretation and reception of Aristotle in the Latin and Eastern churches. Havent' read it yet, but I believe this book is crucial for the ecumenical dialogues.
Michael Buckley - At the origins of atheism (XXXXX)
Basically argues that bad theology is responsible for modern atheism. The problem of it all is the acceptance of bad metaphysics, which in time subverts theology from within. As one can understand, this is an important book.
Louis Bouyer - Spirit and forms of protestantism (XXXX)
Interesting and sympathetic analysis of protestantism from the vantage point of a catholic convert.
Fergus Kerr - The twentieth century catholic theologians (XXXXX)
Brilliant and highly illuminating book on modern catholic theology. See references for more reading. Kerr has also written "After Aquinas", which I belive will be very interesting. That book discusses different varieties of thomism. Kerr har also written some other good books.
Noll/Nystrom - Is the reformation over? (XXXX)
Quite good - though sometimes not deep enough - analysis of modern catholicism from an evangelical viewpoint. This book is recommended because of the handy overview it gives over contemporary catholicism and the ecumenical dialogues.
Peter Kreeft - Summa of the summa, Shorter Summa, Summa Philosophica (XXXXX)
Brilliant introductory readings of Aquinas + a handy guide to all the important questions of philosophy. Kreeft gives an important and helpful guide into the area of thomism (a transition that could be very challenging for us modern protestant Christians).
James Barr - Books on fundamentalism + a whole lot else (XXXXX)
Barr has written a lot. "Fundamentalism" is the books that evangelicals should read, and also "Biblical faith and natural theology". Both of these books, but perhaps especially the last one, really changed my views on several matters. (And incidentally led me quite a few steps closer to the catholic tradition, and away from my protestant tradition). Barr was a very helpful bridgebuilder between church and academia.
Rowan Williams - On Christian Theology (XXXX)
Williams has many deep and stimulating thoughts, and is well worth reading. His book on Arius is also really important, I believe. RW has a healthy emphasis on spirituality that is often missing in modern theology. While I'm at it, I should also mention another book in the same vein, i. e. Andrew Louths "Discerning the mystery." I'm sure you're familiar with Louth anyway. He's written lots of interesting books.
Pannenberg - Systematic Theology+Basic questions in theology (I-III)+ Jesus - God and man (XXXXX)
Pannenberg's systematic theology is the best there is, in modern theology. Note that Pannenberg is somewhat critical of classical metaphysics (I'm sad to say). But he gives orthodox discussions of many thorny issues in modern theology, e. g. problems of history and revelation, of Christian faith and natural science etc.
Copleston - History of philosophy (XXXXX)
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Quite simply the best history of philosophy available. So paedagogic and illuminating. Written from a Thomist perspective, though always fair and nuanced.
David Bentley Hart - Atheist Delusions (XXXXX)
Deeply intriguing work which gives an outline of how the church changed western civilization. This book should not be missed. Hart has also written other deeply interesting things, see e. g. his Beauty of the infinite, which is a tough read, but very rewarding (I'm not through it yet).
Radical Orthodoxy - A reader (XXXX)
Excellent set of articles by prominent authors in this highly interesting and challenging movement. The RO movement has also published lots of interesting titles lately. See for instance Milbank's articles, and others, in "Belief and Metaphysics."
Koons and Bealer - Waning of materialism (XXXX)
A good set of articles critical of physicalism/materialism. Some philosophical knowledge is required for the full benefit of these articles. The best book defending a "physicalist" stance, is Melnyk's "Physicalist manifesto." The best critique is the chapter on materialism in Cunningham's Darwin's pious idea.
Lynne Rudde Baker - Saving belief and several others (XXXXX)
A great metaphysicist who goes deep into issues that have to do with science, materialism, teleology, persons etc. Some knowledge of philosophy is required. Michael C Rea's "World without design" is also brilliant and highly important. On the other side of the divide, see Ladyman and Ross: "World without design," and also Rosenberg's "Atheist's guide to reality" (and if you choose to delve into this material, then please do not miss Feser's thorough critique of Rosenberg, as found on his blog).
EA Burtt - Metaphysical foundations of modern science (XXXXX)
Immensely important book which shows how the fathers of modern science framed their findings within metaphysical pictures of the world (which later were to have en enormous influence on philosophy).
Stephen Barr - Modern physics and ancient faith (XXXX)
Barr knows his stuff, being a prominent professor of physics. He argues that modern physics in several ways points in the direction of orthodox Christianity.
William T Cavanaugh - Everything (XXXX)
Cavanaugh writes intriguingly about a whole lot of issues that face the church today; capitalism, secularism, warfare etc. His books are generally easy to read, but see references for more.
Cristopher Kaczor - Ethics of abortion (XXXXX)
Along with Francis Beckwith's book and Robert George's, this is the premier defence of unborn life, from a classical philosophical point of view. The best anthology of articles pro and con is Beckwith/Pojman, Abortion controversy. The best defense of abortion is Boonin's "Defense of abortion."
Bauckham - Everything on the NT, esp. Jesus and the God of Israel and Jesus and the eyewitnesses
Bauckham is a quite brilliant scholar. His books are life-changing.
John Paul II - Theology of the body
Must also mention this, which I perhaps think holds the key to how we as Christians should respond to secular thinking on sexuality. Haven't read it yet, but, well, I do believe it is very important.
