He's very modest and strict with himself, methodical in his work as a scientist. Yet his photographs evoke emotions. Corrado Murlo is the photographer of the best electronic music parties in Rome, AMIGDALA. He knows the light, seems to have a private and intimate dialogue with her. Among the fumes of alchol, chaotic bars, and the music at 120 decibels he manages to create its own order, its own rhythm, resulting in absolute images, as still as disconnected from time and space.

At what age did you get hold of the camera, the first time?
In what sense? The first time? I do not remember .. I was a kid, my dad had a Zenit. I remember in elementary school I went to camp and I had my camera that made square pictures.

There was a precise moment when you understand your passion for photography?
No, I always took photos, I liked it and I like it. On each occasion I had the camera with me, always took me and the result was like a diary.
Have you ever taken a photography course?
We assume that for long time i was convinced that photography wasn't "something for me", that "it was so useless." There were already too many people full of themselves, declaring they were good photographers and a part of the "world of photography." Here, I did not want to be just another guy who claimed to be a photographer. But I finally got brave and so the first course I have followed rather later, at twenty-eight years, three years ago, but i was studing by myself for a long time.

What is your portfolio you like more?
There is no job that I like best. I like and I have fun with everything I do (web site).
And your work that people like best?
Definitely the portraits. They are my most popular shots.
What are the photographers that you admire the most?
Richard Avedon, Martin Parr, Trent Parke, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Liebovitz. There is a bit 'of everything, from glam to black and white, I do not black and white because I have it inside of me.
The photographic reportage made during the festivals of electronic music AMIGDALA are a perfect example of modern documentary photography. Is there a trick to take the perfect picture?
It depends where you are and what you do. There is a "trick" for each type of photography. As for the pictures "of the parties" the trick for me is to enter the soul of the party: I do not mean just having fun. For example, there is a wonderful moment of the night, that no one sees, in which all are preparing themselves: the barman is arranging the glasses and the bar, the room is still empty and the lights are positioned. These are moments that should be part of the story of the evening, which is not limited only to people dancing, getting drunk and having fun, but rather an empty bar that slowly fills and then empties. You have to feel all the different moments of the night.

In your 'night' photographs is clearly a high attention to detail ..
Because in a report, as in life, you have to go from the macroscopic to the microscopic. That shoe, that bracelet, the tattoo, the movement of an arm, the hand that is close behind the back of someone in a certain way and at a given time set the mood of a night party, not only the room full of people or a person's face. The collar of a shirt, a brooch, a ring, are saying to you much more than the person wearing them than they can make his face or his words.
|Photo by Corrado Murlo
The details are so important in life?
Yes, too often you stop to guradare only the big things, the ones that jump out, but the gestures are more hidden, less obvious, which have a greater significance.
How did your collaboration with amygdala start?
We started casually to New Year-end 2010 early 2011, about a year ago. After a dinner with friends, we were split to go dancing. I had brought the digital camera. I went to AMIGDALA, I paid to get in and I asked if I could take some pictures during the party. For the case they had not the photographer for the party. Evidently they liked my work because they called for subsequent appointments.

Students Focus on Controversial Topics at Spring 2011 Town Hall Meeting
Date: 04-12-2011
Joe Wills
Public Affairs
California State University, Chico students will lead discussions on issues ranging from prison overcrowding to the state budget crisis at a town hall meeting Thursday, April 28, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium on the CSU, Chico campus.
CSU, Chico's Town Hall Meeting Program, started in 2006, helps students understand their role in government and the political process. The program encourages students to engage in issues of importance to them and gives them the tools to be a more complete and effective part of society in the future.
Ellie Clifford Ertle, faculty coordinator of the Town Hall Meeting Program, said approximately 600-650 students in political science classes, along with community and campus members, are expected to take part in discussions during breakout sessions. Students lead and participate in the talks as part of classroom projects.
The event is free and the public is invited to attend. Please call 898-3705 for more information.
"The Town Hall Meeting Program is a great opportunity to connect what students learn about in the classroom with what they will experience in the world outside of college," said Charles Turner, chair of the Department of Political Science. "It's a chance to practice being civically engaged with leaders from our community. This is something students will be doing the rest of their lives, so the sooner they start and the more experience they have at this, the more effective their voices will be. I'm proud that our department can share its expertise in this positive direction."
Some of the topics to be discussed at the April 28 Town Hall include California water policy, mental health and the military, gun control, reducing carbon emissions and U.S. immigration policy.
Through a series of course assignments, the students study an important policy issue they have selected by conducting research. At the Town Hall, the students meet in breakout sessions of 20-25 people with other students who have studied the same issue, community members and faculty.
Students present a brief policy problem at the Town Hall meeting and suggest a policy solution that is both desirable and possible. Students will also begin to prepare an action plan outlining possible next steps for themselves and others to impact the future course of their policy issue.
The Town Hall meeting is an important feature of CSU, Chico's First-Year Experience Program, which is designed to help first-year students succeed academically and socially, and make a smooth transition to university life.

Pressure transmitter market expected to grow at above-average rates
Source: ARC
Aug 01, 2011
Driven by a stronger emphasis on plant asset management and safety applications, the worldwide market for pressure transmitters is expected to grow at above-average rates as capital investment programs continue to recover after the global recession. After dipping more than 10% in 2009 due to the effects of the global recession on the automation market, the pressure transmitter market saw a speedy and strong recovery in 2010, driven by increased business in the energy sector.
Pressure transmitter suppliers have benefited from renewed investment and expansion activities, and they have aligned their business goals to capitalize on growing industry segments and geographic regions that will enable them to increase market share. "Oil prices are on the rise again with the economic recovery, increased demand, and political and social unrest in the Arab world. This should continue to drive demand for pressure transmitters going forward, as higher prices favor increased exploration, production, and processing of fossil fuels," according to Analyst Allen Avery, the principal author of ARC's "Worldwide Market Outlook Study".

In preparation for the SoCal DH season coming just around the berm, Tani, the owner of The Path Bike Shop (a gravity-minded rider) has built up an extraordinary Enduro bike as well as a shop favorite - a Kona Process 153.
Many riders can definitely benefit from a true DH rig but if you have enough bike handling abilities, an Enduro bike can offer a more lively feel for the kind of terrain we have down here in SoCal. Especially at local ride locations like Snow Summit in Big Bear, CA!
Some of the unique features of this particular 153 build:

While some teammates have already been racing this year, my 2016 season just got off to an exciting start at Non Dot Adventures first race of the season, the Whiting Ranch Ultimate Time Trial on March 19th. This is the first of four races they conduct in the Orange County Parks. Rather than a mass start of a typical cross-country race, riders are released once every 30 seconds to race against the clock. Many call a time trial "the race of truth" because there is no hiding in a pack, it's just you and the clock. And your burning legs.
On race morning, we were greeted by chilly, overcast conditions with many racers wondering how to dress or even when to shed their jackets prior to the start. The cool air and clouds would soon be appreciated, however, once the riders started up the infamous Dreaded Hill, a nearly one-mile beast with grades averaging 14% and portions up to 26%.

This past Saturday saw the 5th and final Super D race of the Southridge KMC Chain Winter Series. Weather for the day was almost ideal, with mild temps, somewhat overcast skies, and no rain for the day. Unfortunately, the downhill race the following day didn't have it so good.
As usual for the series this year, Southridge put together a two race run format; but this time with a little twist. Racers rode down a very fun, yet somewhat short course that had awkward and tight "S" turns, ruts, and a rock littered field that kept your wits sharp. At this point, we climbed back up to do the same course, but for the second time, they would have you continue over the road to the Super D's famous Waterfall feature of somewhat intimidating rocks, then a dozen turns before you hit the sprint to the 4X course and the finish line.
Race report by Blake Wray, Jr. racer and member of The Path Bike Shop Race Team.
Coming into this weekend I was a little nervous because I broke my arm a couple of weeks prior. During the 6-week period of having to stay off the bike, I was anxious to see if I had lost any bike handling skills that I would have to work up to. It was my first big weekend of racing! Saturday was the SoCal Enduro and Sunday was the Kenda Cup cross country.
Saturday was super exiting and fun! The courses were fast but also had some fast sections. All 4 of my runs were safe, but some felt faster than others. The first 3 stages were my strongest stages while in Stage 4 I had a couple of mistakes. They weren't bad mistakes but they cost me about 3 seconds. Stage 3 was my favorite because it had both the fast and technical parts in the trail. The day was successful and I came out with a 2nd place in a field of 18 racers in the 12-17 age class.

Coming into my second race for the 2016 Fontana KMC Winter Series was fantastic! It was yet another perfect day for the 4th race of the season. It had rained 2 days prior which made the trails desirable for riding and the weather was in the low to mid 70s.
I decided to race in the open class single speed this time around since I had just finished building my new Pivot LES 29er. With the new 142x12 dropout, the bike's performance was awesome! The course was pretty tough on the single speed due to the short steep climbs, however, I'm glad I geared down to 20t from 19t in the rear and 32t in the front. The bike handled great on the technical downhill and the transfer of power to the rear was effective when pedaling hard. The adjustments definitely paid off showing that I beat my final time by 2.5 minutes compared to my first race in gears in which I also got 1st place.
I can't thank my sponsors enough and for always cheering me on. Big shout out to The Path Bike Shop: owner Tani Walling & team manager Lou Mollineda

Wow! This past weekend was pretty eventful! First race of the 2016 season for me was the Ironbutt Challenge, which consisted of riding the 6 Hours of Temecula solo on Saturday followed by the SoCal Enduro on Sunday. I chose to do both races instead of just the enduro for training purposes. I'm doing a lot of multi day enduros this year so this was a good tool to be able to simulate racing multiple days in a row and to gauge my progress in my training with the Trans NZ right around the corner.
Race report by Bryan Bolt, member of The Path Bike Shop Race Team.
It was great to be back in race mode again! For the last year, I've been overwhelmed dealing with life changing events and job issues. However, I decided to race the Fontana Winter Series Race #2 and gave the legs a try.
I couldn't have asked for a better turnout; the weather & dirt was perfect and most importantly, the people. The race started at 9:30am with temps in the mid 50's. I was definitely pumped and excited to ride this technical course again. The great energy was so amped and it felt so good to be able to race alongside the locals and just to be back in the game. Without getting ahead of myself, I stayed with the leading pack until the last lap. When I saw that opening, I took that chance and rode to the finishing line and won 1st place.
A special thanks to Lou Mollineda (The Path Bike Shop Race Team manager) for always encouraging me on my abilities to ride. Also wanted to thank Tani Walling (The Path Bike Shop owner), Megan Welch & the rest of The Path Bike Shop crew on ALL their help. Looking forward to the upcoming races for 2016.

I have decided to take on the 2016 BC Bike Race. For those of you who know the race and me as a person, you know how crazy an endeavor this is.
I'll start with myself, I have been riding for 4 years now. I'm not the greatest rider, but I tend go full throttle on anything I do. Mountain Biking has provided me with a means to stay fit mentally and physically with a smile. The addiction to competition has also fueled my love of the sport. I have raced each year, starting with Beginner class then moved up to Sport class. I have not done amazingly well but have always had fun. This sport has also taken me out of my "OC Bubble"; I have traveled to Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia to ride. I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest instantly. My trips are what led me to the BC Bike Race. I was in Squamish and Whistler a few years ago during the time of the race, and I had the opportunity to ride parts of the course. They are the best trails I have ever ridden.
The BC Bike Race is a 7-day stage race billed as "The Ultimate Single Track Experience," with 200 miles in seven days, 3-8,000 feet of climbing per day, and 90% single track terrain. The race starts on July 6, 2016 (it sold out in 4 days in July 2015 when registration first opened). I will be racing on a two-man team with a co-worker Roger Williams. He has a long history of riding and is an extreme person who never quits…the perfect teammate.
Since I feel that my riding is not yet ready for a race like this, I decided to get some help. With recommendations from others I'm using a training plan provided by a coach. She has every day planned out from December 1st, 2015 until race day. I will be riding 6 days a week, weight lifting, stretching and mobility exercises, and Yoga a few times a week. In the last 4 weeks I have put more hours on a bike then I ever have before. I even purchased a cyclocross bike from The Path Bike Shop to get more miles on the bike. I am using my road bike and a trainer at home and work in order to ride every day possible, rain or shine.
Accomplishing a race like this is no small task, I am lucky to have a lot of supporters. My wife has allowed me to spend countless dollars on the race itself, new bikes, and on everything else I need. I also have a 1-year old son and spending time with him is always a priority. I am a firefighter and have the support of my Captain and crew; this allows me to get time on my trainer at work when there are no calls. The Path Bike Shop is a huge support, helping me with everything I need when it comes to riding. They have a crazy amount of brand choices, amazing service, and just a friendly shop with good people. My buddy Lou manages The Path Bike Shop Race Team and has done an amazing job getting the team sponsors that allow us to compete.
I will be writing periodically before the race and my experience in the race itself. In the next blog entry I will detail my race bike I'm currently building up. Hint… there's no such thing as too much turquoise!

This past weekend marked the first race of the calendar year in Southern California, as both grass roots and World Cup level racers made their annual return to the sandy, rutted, and rock-strewn hills of Fontana, California for the 2016 KMC Chain Winter Series presented by Southridge USA.
The week leading up to the race saw El Nino raise its head, as rain pummeled the SoCal terrain. While this may create a sloppy mess in some regions, the decomposed granite and sandy soils of Fontana simply sucked it up, and racers arrived on Saturday to find some of the most amazing track conditions you could desire at Fontana! No blown out berms, lots of grip, little wind, and cool temps.
Last year saw the preponderance of the one run race format, but this year, Donny and the gang at Southridge brought back the two run format for the first Super D of the year, meaning that riders rode down one stage starting on one hill, then climbed back up to race a second stage on a different hill. So, in essence, we raced a two-stage enduro race. Speaking with many of the other racers, it seems that this was a welcomed format, and racers want more of this. Hey, this guy is included in that! If we did this two run format the rest of the series, I can only see more racers showing up, so let's keep it going!
Unfortunately I had quite a bit of time off the bike the past few months due to injury and illness, so I knew I wasn't going to have the optimum stamina and leg/lung power for this race. Therefore I concentrated on bike setup, with emphasis on tire pressure and suspension settings. My Kenda Honey Badger DH tire I used up front felt like I could lean on it in both sandy turns and on rocks, and not once did I feel like it was going to push or give out on me. I also fine-tuned the use of bottomless tokens in my RockShox Pike fork and bottomless rings in my Monarch shock. This helped to keep my Santa Cruz Nomad riding above the holes in between the rocks, yet still gave me great traction, as well as a great pedaling platform when it was time to sprint! Shameless sponsor plug: go to The Path Bike Shop and they'll help get your rig set up like they helped me!
Back to racing! Stage one started off with rocks, rocks, and more rocks, along with a few small jumps, rocks slab rollers, and steep sections that lead you into sharp corners...more than a few things to keep you on your toes. This fun and rather quick stage finished just to the right of the infamous "wall", then riders climbed back up for the second stage. The second stage was much more physical, as there was one long pedaling section in the middle that required a good balance of flow and power to keep your speed up, just as it dropped you into another steep rock slab, crossing the fire road into some super fun swooping banked turns with a few jumps thrown in for good measure. You then crossed back over the road, into the Super D Rock Garden, then a long sprint into the bottom of the 4X course before you finish at the vendor area!
The Path Bike Shop Race Team had a very good showing for the first Super D race of the year! Blake Wray was on the podium, earning 2nd in Beginner Men 18 & Under! Sean Small and Nick Patricio has strong showings in a very competitive class, earning 6th and 7th respectively in Expert Men 35 & Under, and Zachary Graves got 9th in Sport Men 35 & Up. Me...I managed to get on the podium with a 4th place finish in Sport Men 35 & Up! I couldn't have been happier with my finish. By a very long shot, I felt this was the best Super D race I have experienced at Fontana!
I would like to thank Tani and all his employees at The Path Bike Shop, and all the other team sponsors: Kenda Tires, SRAM, Race Face, Crank Brothers, Speed Tuned Wheels, Tustin Brewing (YUM!), Invigorade, Ford & Mazda of Orange, IXS Sports Division, Cal Boring, GoDirect Fumigation, and Johan at Acumed.
Weighing in at 27.5 lbs, this bike is SOLID and trail ready.

When Santa Cruz sent over the geometry charts for the new Bronson and 5010 models, I was extremely happy with what I saw. These two bikes have been among our best sellers for a while now, and with the new geometry, they look even better. The changes are absolutely on point; with slacker head angles, shorter chain stays, lower bottom brackets, shorter seat tubes, and longer reach numbers. These two new models also sport boost spacing, and they went to a 31.6 seat tube, which accommodates a 150mm Reverb. Santa Cruz says that the boost spacing helped them get the chain stays shorter and improves the bracing angle of the spokes.
I was already looking forward to a trip to Downieville to ride bikes with the crew from Santa Cruz. The event was called the Gold Rush; attendees included a small group of dealers, Santa Cruz Syndicate riders, media, and Santa Cruz staff. When I found out that we would be riding the new Bronson and 5010 bikes, I felt like a kid at Christmas. The visit started with a presentation of the new bikes, where the Santa Cruz design group went over the changes with us. They mentioned that they tweaked the leverage rate on the rear suspension, and that the suspension improvements might be the most important change to the bikes. They claimed that the new bikes would be more responsive at the top of the travel while providing more support through the mid stroke, and a consistent ramp up. That sounded good to me, but I was skeptical that this would impress me as much as the new fit and geometry based handling characteristics.
The first day, I rode the Bronson (pictured above, in Kalimotxo & Yellow) on a trail called Butcher - we did two runs. Right when I got on the bike, I noticed that the suspension did feel more plush, and seemed to have a more natural feel to it. There are a lot of rocks on Butcher, and the suspension was truly impressive - maybe Santa Cruz was right. It soaked up big bumps and small bumps with control left over. The steady ramp up makes the suspension predictable and facilitates an intuitive rider connection to the bike. There was no wallowing in the mid stroke, or blowing through travel.

I could tell you every little detail about my weekend at the CES Kamikaze Games last weekend at Mammoth Mountain, CA but I'll just share what you really want to hear about...my crashes and other problems that no one wants on race day.
Quick rundown: We arrived at Mammoth 3 days before my race day. Beginners and sport raced on Saturday while Expert and pros had to deal with race butterflies one more day. Sunday came and all I hoped for was smooth runs with no broken bones.
2 days before the race day: While taking some practice runs, my shifter decided to skip. Ex-Path employee Mike Riess at the Shimano tent, saved the day and tuned it up for me.
I have been dying to get some new riding shoes, but that cost money and I have races to pay for! So I've been holding out. What happens a day before the race? The ratchet on my shoe won't secure. I'd like to give a shout out to Roger from Kenda Tires for providing Gorilla Tape to hold it together.

Sometimes epic bike rides have more to do with the company you keep, people you meet, and stories shared with local companions.
I was fortunate to score a spot in the 2015 Amtrak Century Bike Ride. A long running tradition hosted by the Orange County Wheelmen Bicycle Club, the annual Amtrak Century typically sells out in less than 45 minutes (or so I've been told). The ride starts from the Irvine train station and ends at the downtown San Diego Train Station. The ride has 3,200 feet of climbing and is well supported; with 60 miles still to go, a buddy riding the SAG vehicle donated his rear derailleur and was Johnny-on-the-spot with a chain tool so I could convert my bike to a retro-cool single speed.
I started the ride from Tustin at 5AM and met my ride buddies James, Dave, and KC at the Irvine Train Station around 6AM. We checked in and were riding the Century event by 6:30AM.

The 2015 Rim Nordic Enduro Race Series attracts a wide variety of racers from all different backgrounds. The sometimes technical, sometimes pedal-y, always fun stages drive riders to make some pretty specific choices on bike setup. Here is an inside look in to a few of the racers' bikes at the Aug 15, 2015 race at the Rim Nordic Ski Area in Running Springs, CA.
The Path Bike Shop local Geoff Knight running a large Kona Process 111 29er with a Rockshox 140mm Revelation fork. Drivetrain is handled by a WolfTooth modified 1×10 Shimano drivetrain with a 28t ring and a custom inner chain guide. Wheels are Stans ZTR Flow wheels with meaty On One tires. Seatpost duties taken care of by a 150mm KS Supernatural dropper. Brakes are the always trusty Shimano XT. A modified seat bag attached with an Awesome Strap keeps the tools and spares for racing in place, and a water bottle is well secure by a Salsa stainless steel cage.
Jill Hamilton of Petal Power was rocking the Turner Czar with Rockshox Sid Fork and Fox Float rear shock. Wheels are the ever lusted after Enve Carbons wrapped in WTB Bronson TCS tires. Drivetrain is handled by SRAM 1×11 with a 28t front ring. Jill is also running a KS Lev dropper seatpost to coax out the enduro abilities of her XC rig.

After hitting the Grizzly 100k race in Big Bear for the second time this year, I think I finally got my gear and bike setup dialed. The race is 100k (~63 Miles) with about 8000-ft of climbing and part of the National Ultra Endurance (NUE) MTB race series. Much of the race is technical singletrack for extended periods of time. Bike and gear choice can really make the difference between a good day and a rough day. Below is a list of what I chose and why. While I still struggled during the race, I felt good about all my gear choices. This is the setup I would choose for any similar distance race in the future.

California Enduro Series Race #4: Ashland, Oregon/ Jr. Expert Under 18
With this race being my second California Enduro Series race, I knew I had signed up for a challenge.
We set off to Oregon on Wednesday afternoon, only to get there at around 12am and still having to set up the tents and camp. After getting some sleep, we took the day to practice stages 3 and 4. These were the two stages that we had to get shuttled up on. Once we starting riding down, we all heard a loud....BANG. From there on we finished practice in pouring rain and in some spots, hail. Surprisingly the rain didn't make the dirt muddy. Instead it made it extremely tacky and just amazing.
As Friday came, we were able to fit in another practice day. This day was a little bit different though. We shuttled stages 3 and 4 with no rain, but only extreme amounts of stoke. Once setting off to climb 3700 feet to stages 1 and 2, that's when the rain kicked in. Two of my teammates (Ben and Chris) and myself ended up climbing the full climb in pouring rain, taking about 2 hours. Then once at the top we rode both stages in pouring rain also. The experience of riding in that type of weather was insane and was truly memorable.

My first MTB National Championship Race was an awesome experience! Before the fun began, there was a lot of preparation and hard work. I had to work very hard with breathing, strength training, and nutrition. Getting on the stationary bike helped me with the strength and breathing. Once I was all ready and done with work, it was time to go up I was excited! It was a long drive up there, it was astonishing!

A week ago was Round 3 of the 2015 California Enduro Series in China Peak. I knew this race was going to be challenge because I've never been to China Peak or ridden any similar trails. The only way I could prepare myself for this race is by going in with the mindset of using all I've learned and trained for.
After hanging out and relaxing on Thursday, we set off to get some practice runs in on Friday. Having the use of chairlifts helped a whole lot, as we were able to fit in 7 practice runs. From the start of practice, I knew these trails were completely different than anything I'm used to. Stages 1 and 2 were what I would call the "warm-up" stages as they didn't have anything that technical but instead a lot of blown-out corners and pedaling sections between those corners.
Stage 3 was by far the most physically demanding stage; it started out with some sketchy technical sections, then dropped you into the trees into a bunch of tight switchbacks and a good amount of pedaling. After the pedaling section, you dropped into the infamous rock garden. I had to look at it a couple of times, but I chose my lines according to how smooth I can hit it. After the rock garden and a couple other fairly technical sections, the course dropped you into more pedaling between the trees all the way to the end.
Stage 4 was more on the technical side, but instead of tight rock sections, it was high speed, rowdy technical sections. This section was rowdy for the majority of the stage until the last 30 percent where it was all washed out turns that were extremely hard to get traction.

Round Two of the 2015 California Enduro Series took us the furthest from home that I've ever been for a race. We traveled to a little town about 10 hours from home on the Mendocino coast called Caspar. The locals welcomed somewhere near 300 racers, their families, and support staff with open arms, and were thrilled to show their local riding area to a whole new group of people.
I had been saving my pennies and selling everything not bolted down so I could purchase a new bike in time for the race. With the help of Tani & Gerrin from the shop, I was able to get my hands on a Giant Trance 1 with exactly the build that I wanted. I picked up my bike one week before this race and tried to squeeze in every ride I could so I could get to know her a little better before leaving home for the race.
Thursday morning before the race was a blur; I tossed all the last minute things into the car and drove to meet with Zach for our trip 2/3 of the way up the state. The drive up was pretty uneventful and we made really good time. We arrived to find the rest of the team just finishing up their course pre-riding. We geared up and talked the world's best team manager, Lou Mollineda, into dropping us off at the top so we could get some pre-rides in ourselves before we set up camp for the weekend.
Friday morning we awoke to beautiful weather, lots of sun and perfect temps for riding. After the arrival of a few more teammates, we put together the days plan, trying to get as many of the race stages covered as we possible could. The plan was well executed and I think the team had a good handle on what the trails were like. Friday night I started thinking about how many miles were ahead of me for the weekend, and the pre-race jitters certainly kicked in. I reviewed the trail map multiple times to try and remember all I could about the stages I would be racing on Saturday. The morale around camp was quite high, I think the team felt well prepared and ready to tackle the next days of racing.

Race Report by Mario Correa, member of The Path Bike Shop Race Team. Photo: PB Creative Photo
Racing a 50 mile endurance race on tired legs with a single speed is a good experience and good training, but it does NOT feel good at all....I highly recommend it.
The endurance course was two laps on the 25-mile cross country course. I felt good for about 15 minutes after the start, then I had no choice but to settle into a slower more manageable pace while the group I was with rode away.
The following 15 minutes I rode with another group of riders, but again I needed to dial it down a bit more to deal with the altitude and leg fatigue so I fell off the back of that group. I rode in this position for the rest of the race. I did manage to catch a few riders, but not the two singlespeeders that were ahead of me. I finished third so I still managed to get a podium spot.

Breast Cancer
"Breast cancer is cancer arising in breast tissue. Cancer is simply a group of abnormal cells that have abnormal growth patterns. Early breast cancer has no symptoms. It is usually not painful. Most breast cancer is discovered before symptoms are present, either by finding an abnormality on mammography or feeling a breast lump."

Cult of the banalSir, The deplorable trend of liturgical music continues unabated in our Archdiocese.
The renditions of a well-known hymn 'How Great Thou Art' and the unfamiliar 'Gone are the Shadows, Now Instead, it's you Lord' sung by choirs in church are but a tiny reflection of a more widespread and deeply saddening trend of liturgical abuse. The 'lively' melodies set to choral music, with the accompaniment of the guitar and drums, may on one hand, sound pleasing to the ears, albeit in a non-liturgical or secular setting. The rousing tunes however, do very little to enrich the liturgy itself and to help create an atmosphere conducive to contemplative prayer. On the contrary, the novel interpretations sadly banalize the Sacred Liturgy, and relegate it to a worldly and humanistic level. This causes untold damage to the faithful in the process.
Those incessantly defending the usage of such music say it helps draw in the youth. Little do they realise that it is done at the expense of the sanctity of the Sacred Liturgy itself.
The rules governing the use of liturgical music can be found in various Church documents such as Sacrosanctum Concilium, Musicam Sacram, and Tra Le Sollecitudini.
The following are some of the rules:
1. It must be holy, and must, therefore, exclude all profanity, not only in itself, but in the manner in which it is presented by those who execute it.
Errant spiritual gurusSir, India has had a great tradition of spiritual thinkers such as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Shirdi Sai Baba, Swami Chinmayananda and Ramana Maharshi, to name a few who led simple and honest lives and never sought any power or wealth. They served humanity till the time of their death. But the present-day gurus (godmen and godwomen) are business savvy and have huge spiritual empires. They are surrounded by doting devotees who have implicit faith in their gurus and are not fazed by their weird behaviour. Some of them even exploit women sexually.
Endangered Coral ReefsSir, Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals. Tropical coral reefs are very productive ecosystems. Not only do they support enormous biodiversity, they are also of immense value to humankind. Latest estimates suggest coral reefs provide close to US$30 billion each year in goods and services. The threat to the ocean's coral reefs is apparent. As coastal construction increases and global temperatures rise, an estimated 33 per cent of corals are in danger of extinction. Coral reef destruction is no longer something we can continue to downplay or overlook.
Michelle heads to IIM-ASir, It is always a blessing to see our youth rise above expectations, seize opportunities and reach new milestones.
Michelle Dias, from our Parish of Holy Family, Chakala obtained admission into the prestigious IIM Ahmedabad for their Post-Graduate Programme in Management.
Michelle studied in Divine Child High School and her Junior College was St Andrew's. After her Std 12 Board Examination, where she was placed among the top 1% in the State Board, she chose to graduate in Engineering. With a healthy CET score, she was selected by VJTI, Mumbai, where she opted for Production Engineering. After an exciting six-month internship, she decided to gather two years of industrial experience before pursuing higher studies. With her excellent academics and profile, she was picked by Godrej, and confirmed a year later in the managerial cadre.
"Proxy Voting"!Sir, A two-day forum was hosted on the weekend of April 28-29, 2018, by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Nearly 100 financial advisors, fund managers and Catholic Chief Financial Officers gathered at the Second Annual Faith Consistent Investing Forum in Midtown, Manhattan, USA.
This was especially driven by Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI's reflection in Caritas In Veritate: "Every economic decision has a moral consequence, and the Catholic's responsibility to adhere/invest according to Catholic Social Teaching Principles."
James Ryan, managing director of Merrill Lynch and host of the forum, consulted the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines, a set of principles to aid Catholics on investment portfolios, released by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in 2003.
BANGALOREThe Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) has appointed the following priests - Fr Dr Francis Gonsalves sj (58), Fr Dr Irudaya Raj Santhanam (60) and Fr Anthony J Fernandes (52) as Executive Secretaries to the CCBI Commissions for Theology and Doctrine, Canon Law and Legislative Texts, and Laity respectively. The appointments were made by the 79th Executive Committee meeting held on May 1, 2018 at Bangalore.
ROMEReflecting on Christ's message to evangelize all the nations, Pope Francis on May 5, 2018, had a simple message to the members of the Neocatechumenal Way on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the group's founding: Go!

Kurla church - 438 years of gloryHoly Cross Church, a 438-year-old church in Kurla celebrated its parish feast on Sunday, May 6 in a traditional way, hosting a procession and cultural programme. Since five years, the local communities around the church have revived its culture by organising an annual feast, according to parishioners, on the first Sunday of May every year.
Brian Nunes, a parishioner, said, "The parishioners include Catholics from various communities, including East India and Tamil Nadu. Over 200 women from the nearby village come together for the preparation of traditional dishes." In the evening, a procession was taken out from Pillai chowk to Fr Peter Pereira Road.
Gabriel D'Mello, a resident of Kurla village, said, "It is to celebrate the 438 years of this church. The community members were dressed in the traditional way. The women will wear the 'lungra' which is the traditional East Indian sari. Priests were brought on horse-carts through Kurla village."
Brian added, "Many years ago, the East Indian community members had donated the land to the church. There is a holy Cross which was found in the Asalpha area, and since then, it is kept in this church. The annual feast is an initiative to bring all the communities and parishioners together in an attempt to unite the communities." The cultural event in the evening saw traditional dances by the community members, appreciation of the members who have done good work for the community and the awards ceremony.
53rd Annual Day CelebrationsSt Joseph's Industrial Training Institute (SJITI) celebrated its 53rd Annual Day at Don Bosco Centre for Learning (DBCL), Kurla showcasing the talent and skills of the trainees.
The evening started at 4 pm with the display of the projects conceptualised and executed by the trainees. A total of 20 projects were displayed by the students. Innovation and craftsmanship were the hallmark of the projects: Bosco's wonder car, Car parking Arduino, Capacitance meter, Scrolling text display, Railway signal, Voice controlled car, Working model of diesel engine and starting engine, Digital Smart Helmet, Lamp on/off based on PIR sensor, Refrigerator training kit, Trolley for lift, Smart table for draughtsman, Sledge Hammer, Lever Type Coconut Skinning Machine, Sheet Metal Bender, Solar Inverter, Safety Dojo, Metal Roller Bender, Working model of A/C, Wood-cutting bend-saw machine, Sandpaper stand, Load Bank, Duel Axis Solar Tracker, Engine Assembly Hanging Bracket, etc.
The Chief Guest, Ashok Shahane, Vice President, Corporate Training - Larsen & Toubro, other dignitaries and parents took keen interest in visiting the exhibition halls. Shahane made special mention about the project on safety. He said it clearly showed that the institution is providing the trainees with the right inputs on safety, which is most critical in the manufacturing sector.
The cultural programme began at 6 pm with the welcome of the chief guest and members of management, accompanied by the traditional Lezim. This was followed by the lighting of the lamp. Fr Colbert da Silva, Rector - Director of DBCL, Kurla welcomed the gathering, especially thanking the various industries for their support and collaboration. The audience was then entertained with an array of cultural items.
Amarr Prabhu, Principal, SJITI presented the annual report in an audio-visual format, showcasing the events and highlights of the institute. Prabhu spoke about the constant endeavour of the institute to provide the best quality education to the students. He thanked the corporates for their generosity. He mentioned that Bharat Petroleum had supported the upgrading of six labs and setting up the new automation lab during 2017-18. This was followed by a symbolic gesture of the CSR team from Bharat Petroleum handing over a cheque of Rs 98,09,544/- to Fr da Silva.
The Chief Guest, Shahane, was introduced by Anthony Kittkal. Shahane, in his eloquent address, spoke highly about SJITI. He said he was quite sure that SJITI was one of the best in the country, as he has experienced many ITIs first-hand. He gave a three-point programme to the students to attain success: the first being safety; second, the need to be job ready as the industry does not have the liberty to train people once again; and the third, never to stop learning.
The next part of the programme was the felicitation of instructors and students. There was special appreciation for Dinesh Mhatre for securing the second place in the Maharashtra State Instructor Skills Completion in Electronic Mechanics, and Shekar Karkera who stood second in the Toyota Instructor Skills Competition in Auto Body Repair.
The students were felicitated with mementos and certificates for their success in academics and for 100 per cent attendance. This was followed by a special performance with UV and techno presentation. The vote of thanks was delivered by Anup Lewis. The programme concluded with a grand finale, a recap of all the cultural events of the evening and Fr da Silva once again appreciated and complimented the efforts put in by the staff and the trainees. He also thanked the parents and the benefactors. The programme ended with the singing of the National Anthem.
FORTHCOMING EVENTSInner Healing Retreat for youth from ages 18 to 30, including young married couples, conducted by Anthony Lobo and Team, scheduled for June 7-10, at Retreat House, Bandra.

'Ann' outstanding jazzy night in BandraFor Jazz lovers, it was a special treat to hear the internationally acclaimed Jazz Artiste from America, Ann Hampton Callaway. The Multi-Platinum songwriter and actress had a radiant glow and smile on her face that set up a mesmerising evening for delightful audiences who enjoyed a jazzy night of songs and laughter till the end of the show. Ann, along with her Jazz ensemble, performed live on April 19, 2018 at the newly renovated Sheila G. Raheja (Rang Mandir) auditorium in Bandra.
Introducing the line-up for the evening was the ever popular model-cum-actor and Bandra Boy, Denzil Smith. The Jazz Ensemble, comprising of internationally renowned Ted Rosenthal on piano, Gianluca Liberatore on upright acoustic bass and Aron Nyiro on drums started off with an instrumental melody which set the rhythm of the night.
Stepping on stage in a shimmering black outfit, Ann made many heads turn during her opening act of the evening, as she sang 'From This Moment On'.
From then onwards, there was no turning back for her, as she smoothly set off with jazz melodies like 'I'm too White to Sing the Blues Blues' from the album 'Blues In The Night'. A little bit of 'Tenderly' filled the air with her version from the Sarah Vaughan Project, while 'A Night in Tunisia' pepped up the evening with a Brazilian mix of tunes.
'Faith and politics in the third millennium' (Vol. II) by Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI
An introduction by Pope Francis
The relationship between faith and politics is one of the great themes that has always been the focus of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI's attention, and runs through his entire intellectual and human journey. His direct experience of Nazi totalitarianism led him since his early academic years to reflect on the limits of obedience to the State in favour of the freedom of obedience to God: "The State is not the totality of human existence and does not embrace all human hope. Humankind and their hope go beyond the reality of the State and beyond the sphere of political action. The State is not the totality. This lightens the burden on politicians and paves the way for rational policy. The Roman State was false and anti-Christian, precisely because it wanted to be the total of human possibilities and hopes. Thus demanding what it cannot; thus forging and impoverishing humankind. With his totalitarian lie, it becomes demonic and tyrannical."
Later, also on this basis, alongside St John Paul II, he elaborated and proposed a Christian vision of human rights, capable of questioning on a theoretical and practical level the totalitarian claim of the Marxist State and the atheist ideology on which it was based.
Because the authentic contrast between Marxism and Christianity for Ratzinger is certainly not given by the preferential attention of the Christian for the poor: "We must learn – once again, not only at the theoretical level, but in the way we think and act – that alongside the real presence of Jesus in the Church and in the Sacrament, there exists that other real presence of Jesus in the little ones, in the trampled of this world, in the last, in whom he wants us to find Him." (1970s)
Pope adds feast of Mary, Mother of the Church to universal calendarCINDY WOODEN, CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE
Pope Francis has decreed that Latin-rite Catholics around the world will mark the feast of "the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church" on the Monday after Pentecost each year.
The Gospel reading for the feast, which technically is called a "memorial," is John 19:25-31, which recounts how from the Cross Jesus entrusted Mary to His disciples as their mother, and entrusted His disciples to Mary as her children.
The decree announcing the addition to the Church calendar was released March 3 by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments.
Pope Francis approved the decree after "having attentively considered how greatly the promotion of this devotion might encourage the growth of the maternal sense of the Church in the pastors, religious and faithful, as well as a growth of genuine Marian piety," the decree said.
Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Congregation, noted in a brief commentary published the same day, that Blessed Paul VI in 1964 had formally bestowed the title of "Mother of the Church" on Mary, but that recognition of her maternal care for the Church and for believers had already spanned centuries.
Catholic Teaching on 'Passive Euthanasia'A response to The Examiner Editorial (April 7, 2018 issue)
"Passive Euthanasia" is an obsolete and inappropriate term. Euthanasia cannot be passive. Euthanasia is an active act of ending the life of a human being to end suffering. The intent in Euthanasia is to end life, and it is clearly not ethical and morally justifiable. However, withholding or withdrawing "extraordinary" life-sustaining measures, in a patient with far advanced terminal illness when there is no hope for recovery cannot be construed as passive euthanasia. 'Extraordinary' life-sustaining measures would involve artificially kick-starting the heart that has stopped beating, putting a breathing tube down the throat into the lungs and connecting to a ventilator for artificial breathing, artificially increasing the blood pressure by intravenous medications, and so forth. These extraordinary measures in terminally ill patients will not cause recovery, but rather cause increased pain, suffering, distress and poor quality of life at an increased cost.
Palliative care strongly advocates continuing ordinary measures such as pain and symptom control, psychosocial support to patients and their families, hydration and nutrition, hygiene and respecting patient/family preferences. As you have rightly stated in your editorial, to terminate suffering and not life, are the core principles of palliative care. It affirms life and regards dying as the natural process. It neither hastens death nor postpones death by artificial means. Palliative care opposes euthanasia in all its forms. However, it advocates limitation of harm to the dying patients by withholding/withdrawing artificial extraordinary life-sustaining treatment. Unfortunately, the honourable Supreme Court judges failed to see the difference, and dubbed withholding and withdrawing of the extraordinary life-sustaining treatment as passive euthanasia.
I remember the day I got my first smartphone. Upgrading from a "dumb phone," I was dazzled. Crisp and clear pictures. E-mail and calendar in one place. Ready access to Twitter, Facebook, and any search engine I wanted. In the words of the ad, I could now "move at the speed of instantly." But as months went by, I realised my smartphone was not a neutral tool that would leave my life unaffected. My days started to change, sometimes drastically. It began with the e-mail. I started checking it almost obsessively. Wake up, turn over, and check e-mail. Get coffee, check e-mail. Then came social media. I could now post pictures directly to Facebook. Yet, rarely did I consider whether my 300 "friends" needed to see my weekend adventures. Twitter became my news source. My thoughts started to fragment into smaller and smaller pieces. Oddly enough, even though I now held in my hand the key to unparalleled productivity, at the end of the workday, I felt a new level of exhaustion. It got so out-of-hand that I finally turned off my digital news notifications, unplugged from Twitter and other social networks, and subscribed to home delivery of a print newspaper. It was life-changing. Turning off the buzzing breaking-news machine I carry in my pocket was like unshackling myself from a monster who had me on speed dial, always ready to break into my day with half-baked bulletins. I was just less anxious and less addicted. And I'm embarrassed about how much free time I had — I managed to read half a dozen books, took up a hobby, and (I think) became a more attentive husband and father.
We have spent much of the past few years discovering that the digitisation of news is ruining how we collectively process information. Technology allows us to burrow into echo chambers, exacerbating misinformation and polarisation and softening up society for propaganda. With artificial intelligence making audio and video as easy to fake as text, we're entering a hall-of-mirrors dystopia, what some are calling an "information apocalypse." The sociality of digital media is of visibility without touchability. We erect transparent glass chambers and post updates of what remains unseen. And we're all looking to the government and to Facebook for a fix. But don't you and I also have a part to play? Most of all, I realised my personal role as a consumer of news in our broken digital news environment.
Lev Everson, ex-CEO of Twitter says: "Today's media is broken and social media is the most broken, manipulative, aggressive, disinformative, non-user selective, disruptive and addictive, and a worse health risk than obesity for kids and young adults. For those of you who are ecology-conscious and environment-concerned, it would be pertinent to note research findings by McMaster University, Canada which state: "If trends continue, ICT will account for 14% of the worldwide carbon footprint by 2020." For every action of yours on that little gadget, there are networks and data-centres making it happen, and they consume a lot of energy to make that happen. The Journal of Cleaner Production: "The most damaging devices to the environment are smartphones. 85% of their emission impact comes from their production; they have a short life which drives further production of "newer" models and an extraordinary amount of waste." Disconcerting?
For the first time ever, a family retreat was organised for the families of the differently abled in Bangalore to provide them internal strength in dealing with their life situations and to create a network of support systems among them. 62 persons (who came from fifteen families) spent two days sharing their life with families with a similar predicament, supported by 25 volunteers. 35 of them were children with disabilities and their siblings.
On April 28 and 29, the Engage Disability network, in partnership with the Archdiocesan Commission for the Differently Abled, conducted a family retreat at Paalana Bhavana, the Bangalore Archdiocese's Pastoral Centre. Engage Disability is a national movement to strengthen the Christian response to disability.
The Bangalore Engage Disability hub comprising of Good Sam Foundation, proVISION ASIA, World Vision, CMAI, AIM India, Project Vision and United Theological College partnered together to bring families on a common platform to give them a time of respite and care. Volunteers from East Parade Malayalam Church and St Patrick's Church helped care for persons with disabilities, while their parents and siblings had a wonderful time to relax and enjoy the company of fellow people with disabilities.
The theme for the retreat was 'Arise and Shine', encouraging the families to take their light and shine into the world. Various sessions were conducted to encourage and walk alongside people touched by disability. On the final day, we celebrated the holy Mass with Fr Arokiaswamy.
Sessions by eminent persons threw light on how the families can cope with their challenging life situations. The group discussions focused on how they could mutually support one another in their life journey.
According to Mr David from Good Samaritan group, "All of us went out feeling different about ourselves from when we came in." The family retreat created a sense of belongingness, and that they are not alone.
Mr Mathew, one of the resource persons, said, "The heroic life stories of the differently abled persons has touched me. I thank God for learning new lessons of life through them."
In His message for World Communications Day last year,Pope Francis said,"when Jesus ascended into heaven, He entrusted His Church with the great and dignified responsibility of spreading His Word - the good news and making it accessible to everyone."In addition to signalling the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus' Ascension reminds us of the beginning of the Church's mission and the assistance of His Spirit, 'who gives strength to announce the Good News in the world communicating Hope and Trust.'
In the face of a fast-changing media landscape that is characterised by the proliferation of fake news, massive and indiscriminate social media utilisation, and the tabloidisation of news. Less and less consumers are buying into the traditional media mill. Similarly the proclamation of the Gospel and the spreading of Good News are painfully undergoing a 'legitimacy crisis.'
It is in the context of the growing trend in fake news, the Pope's communication message emphasises a pastoral direction that is substantially innovative – constructive communication of positive news. The Pope's 'constructive forms of communication',unlike the current reportage that mainly hovers around negative and conflict-based stories, aims to gain a more comprehensive portrayal of the issues at hand and gives more context to news stories in order to help media consumers create a realistic view of the world.
Deeper than constructive journalism is the mind-set that is, at heart, good news. The Pope says: "I would like, then, to contribute to the search for an open and creative style of communication that never glamorise evil but instead to concentrate on solutions and to inspire a positive and responsible approach on the part of its recipients. I ask everyone to offer the people of our time story line that are, at heart, "good news."
(Fake News and How to Spot It)"Oh, my gosh! Is this really true?"
"This is unbelievable!"
"Did he (or she) really say this?"
These thoughts may have crossed your mind when reading a certain article or post, or on coming across certain pictures or while watching videos on social media platforms, or even at times, on mainline news portals. We are shocked, disturbed and confused. We really don't know what to believe! Could it be real? Or could it be fake?
Fake news has been in existence for a very long time, and has always been clothed with the garment of pseudo-authenticity with an underlying agenda. With the advent of the digital age and social media, fake news has taken on a life of its own, as it spreads even more rapidly. This is why the ability to expose a fake is so very essential today.
So, what is 'Fake News'? Fake news has rapidly become a catch-all term to discredit all kinds of stories. It can be defined as those news stories that are false: the story itself is fabricated, with no verifiable facts, sources or quotes. Sometimes, these stories may be propaganda that is intentionally designed to mislead the reader, or may be designed as "click bait" written for economic incentives (the writer profits from the number of people who click on the story). In recent years, fake news stories have proliferated via social media, in part because they are so easily and quickly shared online, and because, somewhere along the line, it has been forwarded by someone you know and trust.
How, then, do we decipher what is true and what is false, and arrest the spread of fake news?
First, let us situate ourselves: India, as a country, has participated and contributed to the digital revolution in a very big way. More and more people are connected via their smartphones, and the digital revolution has swept through both urban and rural areas – the length and breadth of our country. Standing at the crossroads as we face the future, we seem to be leaving democracy behind. It would be pertinent to list here the four pillars of the democratic state: the Judiciary, Executive, Legislature and Media, where media ensures transparency in the working of the first three.
Media has the power to make us aware of various social, political and economic activities around us. It is expected to be the mirror which shows us the bare truth and harsh realities of life. Unfortunately, media seems to have abandoned this role.
The following is the Vatican-provided text of the Holy Father's message for the 52nd World Communications Day. This year, World Communications Day will be celebrated on May 13, the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord:
Communication is part of God's plan for us and an essential way to experience fellowship. Made in the image and likeness of our Creator, we are able to express and share all that is true, good, and beautiful. We are able to describe our own experiences and the world around us, and thus to create historical memory and the understanding of events. But when we yield to our own pride and selfishness, we can also distort the way we use our ability to communicate. This can be seen from the earliest times, in the biblical stories of Cain and Abel and the Tower of Babel (cf. Gen 4:4-16; 11:1-9). The capacity to twist the truth is symptomatic of our condition, both as individuals and communities. On the other hand, when we are faithful to God's plan, communication becomes an effective expression of our responsible search for truth and our pursuit of goodness.
In today's fast-changing world of communications and digital systems, we are witnessing the spread of what has come to be known as "fake news". This calls for reflection, which is why I have decided to return in this World Communications Day Message to the issue of truth, which was raised time and time again by my predecessors, beginning with Pope Paul VI, whose 1972 Message took as its theme: "Social Communications at the Service of Truth". In this way, I would like to contribute to our shared commitment to stemming the spread of fake news and to rediscovering the dignity of journalism and the personal responsibility of journalists to communicate the truth.
1. What is "fake" about fake news?
The term "fake news" has been the object of great discussion and debate. In general, it refers to the spreading of disinformation online or in the traditional media. It has to do with false information based on non-existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader. Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence political decisions, and serve economic interests.
The effectiveness of fake news is primarily due to its ability to mimic real news, to seem plausible. Secondly, this false but believable news is "captious", inasmuch as it grasps people's attention by appealing to stereotypes and common social prejudices, and exploiting instantaneous emotions like anxiety, contempt, anger and frustration. The ability to spread such fake news often relies on a manipulative use of the social networks and the way they function. Untrue stories can spread so quickly that even authoritative denials fail to contain the damage.
This is not just a trivial play with words, but fundamental to our understanding of the Resurrection, and therefore of our own salvation in Christ. The first point to remember is that Jesus' risen life is not the same as the pre-Resurrection life, what Saint Paul calls the life we now live in the flesh. The appearances of the risen Christ to His disciples indicate that there is something different about Jesus. Unrecognisable and then recognisable. 'None of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they knew it was the Lord' (John 21:12).
He still had on His body the marks of His Passion – the holes in His hands, His feet, His side. That is the second point to remember: Jesus' Resurrection does not undo His crucifixion; it completes it. This is part of why we shouldn't say He came back to life, as if the Resurrection wiped away the crucifixion. This is especially important for us, because we have to realise that resurrection lies on the other side of crucifixion for us also: only when we nail to the cross our vanities, our follies and our wickedness will we enter into the life of the risen Christ. Only when we can say, "I have died with Christ, buried my sins in the tomb, and now it is no longer I who live, but Christ in me" will we have gone forward into the new Creation that Christ has inaugurated for us and for the whole cosmos.
Such a relisation helps us to understand the significance of the Ascension. It is a celebration of Jesus' presence with us, not His disappearance. Of course, this is precisely what the Gospel tells us: "I am with you always, to the end of the age." He is with us in our minds, with us in our hearts. He is with us in spirit, indeed. But in the Spirit, and that means not 'rather than in the body.' Far from being less real, less bodily than when He was with His disciples in Galilee and in Jerusalem, His presence with us now is more real and more bodily.
There is something mysterious about the risen body – it seems to be eminently tangible, and yet can pass through locked doors. How He is present is for the time being, a mystery and we only have some clues. One of these, is the Eucharist, for here Christ is truly, bodily, really present at every Mass, in every tabernacle. Another is what Saint Paul tells us, explaining His other form of presence, which is the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ – "the fullness of Him who fills all in all."
This means that wherever the Church is present, preaching the Gospel as He commanded, bringing the love and mercy of God shown to us on the Cross, into the darkness of people's lives, there indeed Christ is to be found. We are members of that body, that authentic, powerful presence of Christ, when we leave behind our sins and move forward into new life. In the gift of the Eucharist, we have a foretaste of the fullness of the Resurrection life, when we turn from our sins and back to God, and allow the life of Christ to make itself felt in and through our loving presence in the world.

Pitt's School of Medicine, UPMC launch center for women's health
June 30, 2015
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In an effort to promote women's health, Pitt and UPMC have launched a new think tank for women's health research.
Pitt's School of Medicine and UPMC launched The Center for Women's Health Research and Innovation (CWHRI) in June. Sonya Borrero, the director of the CWHRI, said this new group is a way to formalize research efforts for women's health care and cater to their health needs. Borrero oversees the center, a section within the Division of General Internal Medicine, which is a part of Pitt's School of Medicine. The group will also host forums and seminars for researchers. These meetings are held in several locations on Pitt's campus, including McKee Place and the Parkvale Building.
Melissa McNeil, associate chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine and educator at the Center, said these forums function as think tanks for women's health issues.
While other research groups focus on one aspect, Mcneil said, the CWHRI will focus on women's health as a whole.
"[The Center] is not an institute dedicated to prevent stroke or heart disease. It is a lot more [multifaceted]," McNeil said.
According to Borrero, gender-specific care is nothing new to the hospital.
In her research and experience as a women's health clinician, Borrero has found that, across their lifespan, women face health challenges unique to their gender.
"Barriers to health care can be as varied as the patients we treat," Borrero said.
Holly Thomas, associate professor of medicine within the Division of General Internal Medicine, will be among the researchers contributing their ideas and projects in the Institute. She is also a primary care doctor who does research in women's sexual function and midlife.
Thomas said her involvement in this forum has allowed her to get into contact with researchers she otherwise never would have met.
"If the Center didn't exist, [researchers] would never have the opportunity to meet each other and form a collaboration," Thomas said.

Here's what I would do.
Try minimal boot - Processor, Video and 1 stick of RAM.
Disconnect optical drives, hard drives and any expansion cards (sound, network. etc.).
If you can get to the BIOS check voltages especially 12v, 5v and 3.3v.
Assuming your voltages are within 5%, shut down the computer and install 1 hardware item at a time (rebooting each time) until you find the culprit.
