Question: I am a 16-year-old boy and I've owned my '84 Jeep J-20 for a year. In that time I've decked it all out (but I won't go into that, there's too much to list-look for it in "Readers' Rigs" in the near future). I have a few questions before I take it out for my first real off-road adventure (I just got my license). One of my questions is that people have told me that I have Dana 44s, and others have told me that I have Dana 60s! So what do I have?
Another question is, I'd like to put headers on my Jeep, but should I? How much horsepower will I get with headers and glasspacks? What brand of headers should I go with? Do you know where I can find headers for my Jeep? Will headers for/from a '76 Dodge Power Wagon with a 360 V-8 work (it has the same size engine)? Do you know of a magazine or Web site that will have parts for my type of Jeep?
Jesse Shubin
Answer: It's hard to keep up with the J-series pickups, as lots of changes took place between model years. The easy way to tell is that the cover bolts on a Dana 60 take a 9/16-inch socket, and the ones on a 44 take a 1/2-inch. Or take a look at the front and compare it to the rear, as the front is a 44. A 60 will look the same, only bigger. Then again, now that I think about it, it could be an AMC axle. In this case, the cover will not look like a Dana cover but will be round. But there is a good chance that if your truck is really a J-20, it will have eight-bolt wheels and the rear axle will be a full-floating design. That is, the wheel hub rides on a spindle similar to the frontend, and the axleshaft is held in place with maybe six bolts. You can take the axleshaft out without removing the wheel. Another way to check is that most Dana 60s have the number "60" cast into the top side of their housings. Jeep did put some semifloating axes in its J-trucks.
No, the 360 in the Dodge is not the same motor as an AMC 360. The same headers that fit a Jeep Wagoneer of the same vintage will fit your truck. Hedman Hedders (562/921-0404, www.hedman.com) lists a set for your truck (PN 99250). Most likely you could order them directly from a mail-order outlet such as Summit Racing (www.summitracing.com).
A good Web site for information on your J-20 is www.cfsja.org.
Question: I am 15 years old and I just purchased an '85 Chevy Scottsdale and saved money for a Skyjacker lift kit and 33-inch Swampers. I have been reading your Web site and found that steering is a big issue. Will I need to get new steering besides the pitman arm? Will I need to strengthen the frame near the steering box? The truck is usually just in mud, as I'm from South Dakota (the flatlands).
A.M. Russo
via e-mail
Answer: I will assume that you're looking at Skyjacker's 4-inch lift kit (PN 140AKS). This comes with a new steering arm. Far as I can see, the kit has just about everything you will need to do the lift, other than some longer brake lines. Most likely, the instructions tell you how to relocate your present brake lines, but I would really suggest that you also go with the longer brake lines.
Yes, you're right about the steering-box mount-they can stand some re-enforcement. One of the better setups is from Auto Fab (619/562-1740, www.autofab.com) under PN SBGK200.
Question: I was wondering if you could give me some pros and cons to lifting an IFS truck. I have an '88 Toyota pickup that goes anywhere and everywhere, but I still want to do a lift, and a few people are trying to talk me out of it. Some say that IFS is a pain to lift and things break easier, and then some say that it's a waste of money because the truck has no problem going anywhere. My wheel travel is very limited, and that is a big reason I want a lift. The lift would only be 4 inches, nothing huge.
Kira Quasny
via e-mail
Answer: Well, if you don't have any problem "going anywhere," I would suggest that you forget about the suspension lift and spend your money on some more trips. Now if you want to go a bit beyond that, I would think a 4-inch lift would be a great benefit.
First, the lift will allow you to go to a larger size tire, and more tire = more traction. Second, combine both the added suspension height and the added tire height, and you will gain a considerable amount of ground clearance under the vehicle. Add it all up, and you can go a lot more "anywhere" a lot easier.
The downside? It's expensive. Have you priced the cost of a quality suspension kit and a new set of tires and wheels? The truck may also not handle quite as well on the highway as it did before. Fuel mileage will suffer a bit, as well as acceleration. Maybe the front axleshafts and their CV joints will wear out a bit sooner.
Question: I own an '01 Jeep Sport Wrangler 4.0L with 30-inch tires and Canyon wheels. I have noticed that when driving on a rough road, I get feedback through the steering column. I took the Jeep back to where I purchased it and was told it's a "Jeep thing." Is this normal? The track arm and Skyjacker stabilizer were both replaced.
What would you recommend as a good suspension? I'd like a 3-inch lift with 31-inch tires. This Jeep will see more on- than off-pavement use. Can you rate them from better to best? I want a suspension lift that will keep the Jeep from shaking.
Are lockout hubs worth the money? Will they save on gas mileage and wear and tear on a vehicle with 3.73:1 gearing?
Roger Jackson
Pottsville, PA
Answer: Feedback? You're bound to get some from rough roads, but a lot depends on what you consider "feedback." Worn suspension bushings and ball joints, as well as worn tie-rod ends on the steering linkage, could be the source, but that would be a bit unusual for a vehicle only four years old unless it had excessively high mileage or had been used quite hard. Improper front axle caster or lack of caster is another item that should be looked at.
As to a suspension recommendation from better to best, that's almost an impossibility. What you consider the best compromise between both on- and off-pavement ride and handling may not match up with our opinion. Besides, it would only be an opinion and not one that necessarily matched yours or our readers. Oh, and suspension lifts don't cause a Jeep to shake. The improper application of the lift might aggravate a pre-existing condition such as the worn-out parts I mentioned above.
Lock out hubs I feel are a good investment over time. First, they will extend the life of your front drive components from wearing out by many times. For every rotation of the wheel, you have the outer axle, U-joint, and inner axle rotating, which turns the differential ring-and-pinion gears, which turn the front driveshaft and two more U-joints. While there won't be a remarkable increase in fuel mileage, it will increase. The best thing about locking hubs is that if you should break any front drive component, you can put the hubs in the unlocked position and drive the Jeep home. Otherwise, it may mean a tow home on a trailer.
Question: I recently bought a 4x2 conversion kit with lockouts for my full-time 4x4, a '77 K-5 Blazer. I brought it to a local transmission shop, which said they had installed about 25 of these before. They also said they don't recommend installing them because they blow out seals in the front differential, and they had to repair two thirds of the ones they'd installed. If the conversion kit stops the front driveshaft, why would this happen? Have you ever heard of problems with these kits?
Josh Peterson
via e-mail
Answer: I suggest that you never take your vehicle to this shop for transmission work, or any work at all! There is no way it would cause front seals to blow out! Yes, it stops the front driveshaft from turning, so perhaps you'll experience reduced wear on the frontend and maybe a bit more fuel mileage. I would also be a bit afraid of the kit they sold you unless it was a name brand that you had researched.
Question: Eight years subscribing and still can't wait for the mailman! I need some help, though. Should I, or could I, use Red Line synthetic 50-weight racing oil in my daily-driver 4x4 Suburban? The truck has a bone-stock 5.7L V-8 and is not driven hard or fast at all-it's the family rock buggy. Red Line will only say they don't recommend it. The issue is the detergent additive, I guess. How about using an oil detergent additive like cd-2 or another additive package like the big fleets do?
Randy Motley
via e-mail
Answer: Red Line makes some great products. However, I think that you should follow their advice and forget about the 50-weight racing oil and leave it to the racers that have engines designed for it. While racing oil has some values that are not found in regular oil, it is also lacking in some of the additives needed for long-term use. What you have to keep in mind is that in a race vehicle, the oil never stays in it very long and usually gets changed after every race. Often, the oil is heated before the engine is started and bearing clearances have been opened up more than on a stock engine.
Trying to mix your own brew with aftermarket additive packages is never a wise move. What you add may not be compatible with what is already in the oil. Oil manufacturers and blenders employ special research chemists that spend a lot of time matching a product to its use.
What I really suggest is that you pick a name-brand lubricant in a multi-viscosity, such as a 15-W40 synthetic and stick with it, making oil changes at 3,000 miles-or sometimes less, depending on driving conditions. Three thousand miles or every 6 months are not magic numbers. Oil changes should be based on what the engine was subjected to. For instance; dirty, dusty off-road conditions under high ambient temperatures may require the oil to be changed at 1,000 miles, while a long cross-country trip may only require the oil to be changed at 7,000 miles.
Question: I own an '81 Jeep Scrambler and want to make some modifications but don't really know how to go about it. My Jeep is bone-stock, with a four-cylinder motor, a four-speed transmission, a 300 Dana transfer case, and stock axles.
I want to put a V-8 motor and automatic transmission into it. I have a 318 with a 727 TorqueFlite trans out of a '75 Dodge 4x4, but everybody I talk to tells me it's more trouble than it's worth (because the 727 is so big). Everybody tells me to install a Chevy 350/Turbo 350 setup because it's the easiest. I want to keep the Dana 300. I also want to install Dana 44 axles front and rear without having to spend a fortune.
Wes Williams
Sneedville, TN
Answer: The 318/727 combination is not that much larger than the 350/350 combination. In fact, the Chrysler automatic transmission is actually shorter than the GM transmission. While Advance Adapters offers weld-in motor mounts (PN 713095), no one to my knowledge makes the necessary adapter to the Dana 300 transfer case.
All is not lost, however. From 1980 to 1986, Jeep used the 727/300 combination. The transmission case utilized the AMC engine bolt pattern, but there is no reason why you can't use this factory adapter and transmission output shaft in the 727 Chrysler transmission that you have. The trick is just to locate one. Collins Brothers Jeep (800/699-5337, www.collinsbrosjeep.com) may be able to help you on this, as the company has a pretty good supply of used Jeep parts and one of its specialties is selling Scramblers and parts for such.
You said that the engine and transmission you want to use came from a 4x4 Dodge. While it is a tight fit between the framerails, I have seen the NP203/205 used in CJs. This just may be your easiest option. Besides its larger size, a big drawback is the 2.0:1 low-range gearing versus the much better 2.6:1 of the Dana 300.
As to the 44 axle swap, there are no stock front or rear Dana 44 axles that will directly bolt into your Jeep. Everything out there is wider. Late-model Scouts ('74-'80) come the closest. The rear is a simple matter of just relocating the axle pad and setting the proper pinion angle. The front is more difficult, as you have to remount your leaf springs outside the frame due to the location of the differential. The Scout's caster angle is about 0 degrees, so to maintain proper pinion angle, you'll have to cut, rotate, and reweld the steering knuckles to obtain the 4 to 6 degrees of recommended caster. Not an easy job.
Your other choice would be '72-and-up Jeep Wagoneer axles. These use a six-bolt wheel pattern, so you can't use your present Jeep wheels. Well, you could, by utilizing some Ford 1/2-ton rotors up front and using a Scout rear as the width difference between the two is minute.
Bushwacker's (www.bushwacker.com) extended flares will keep the tires somewhat under cover and even better if you use an 8-inch-wide rim and a tire no wider than a 12.5-incher.
Question: I have a '96 Land Rover Discovery that I love. The engine sucks, though. I don't want to get rid of it, so I would like to drop in a new engine (not a Land Rover engine) that gets good gas mileage and good power. Will this be doable? How much will it cost me? I live close to Dallas. Is there anyone there I could call and ask?
Hunter Lott
via e-mail
Answer: Anything is doable. It just takes time and money. I think the best bet would be to use a 4.3 Chevy V-6, along with the matching overdrive automatic transmission and transfer case. These engines get good fuel mileage, are compact and relatively available at a reasonable price. Also, it would be much easier to swap the entire package instead of adapting another engine to the Rover's transmission. However, if that is the route that you want to take, then take a look at Mark's Adapters (www.marks4wd.com). Keep in mind that this is an Australian business, and for some reason they drive on the opposite side of the road than we do, so there may be some problems with steering location and such in their engine swap kits.
How much will it cost? No idea. It depends on what you have to pay for the engine, how much work you do yourself, and the cost of the shop work.
As far as a shop in the Dallas area that can do the work, we have no idea. Readers?
Question: I have a two-year-old Ford Explorer with the 4.6L engine and auto transmission. I bought it used with a lot of miles on it, but the price was right and it seemed at the time to be a good deal. I am having some strange transmission problems that only occur on cold mornings when I first start out. After the vehicle has warmed up, it shifts fine. What happens is that when I put the transmission in gear, it feels like it shifts OK but nothing happens. I may have to put it in and out of gear several times before it catches, or sometimes I have to push the throttle all the way to the floor and then in. As you can figure, it then grabs with a jerk and is pretty scary. Is there something wrong with the linkage that I can fix, or is it rebuild time?
Mark Williams
Kansas City, KS
Answer: I had to do a lot of checking on this one before I came up with a "most likely" cause to the problem. However, it's unfortunately not something that can be solved by a linkage adjustment. The transmission expert whom I spoke with told me that it could be caused by a groove worn into the sleeve that the flow control valve rides in, which is causing the piston to stick. He said that also there were a few other problems that could cause this. The bottom line is that it's time to rebuild the transmission.
Question: I want to buy a Ramcharger with a manual transmission but all I can find is one with an automatic. I was wondering where I could find information on how to convert it and how much it would cost me. I would like it to have an overdrive gear but I could live without one. I would also like the kit to have everything I need to convert it and not just some of the parts.
Ryan Applegate
via e-mail
Answer: I doubt that you're going to find any written information on making the transmission swap, but it really shouldn't be all that hard. First step would be to find a donor truck in the same model-year range. It could be a Dodge Ramcharger, or a 1/2- to 1-ton pickup that has a standard transmission. You're going to need the entire brake and clutch pedal assembly, assorted linkage, as well as the master cylinder. You're also going to need a flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and the bellhousing. You might want to find a 4x4 version and use the transmission and transfer case. That way, you won't have to come up with an adapter. As to cost, well, that depends on what kind of price you have to pay for the parts and if you're going to do the work yourself or not. It will probably run $500 to $2,000 for the parts, and somewhere in between to have a shop do the install.
Question: I recently bought a '92 Dodge D250 two-wheel drive. I got it for only $900. It has a strong 318 and a 727 transmission. I have found that the D250 and W250 share frames. Is it worth it to convert it to four-wheel drive?
My plan is to cut the stock IFS out, go to a junkyard and remove the entire front assembly (axles, springs, brackets, and steering linkage) from a four-wheel drive, then weld the brackets in for the leaf springs and bolt the entire assembly to the frame.
I would also use the donor truck's NP205 transfer case. I plan to divorce the transfer case or swap the whole transmission and transfer case as one unit.
Can I use a Dana 60 out of a W350, or do I need to stick with the D250 front axle? Will the driveshafts from the donor truck work, or will I need new ones? The steering box in the D250 is the same as the W250, right? How much will this swap cost if I use all salvage parts?
Chris T. Welch
Grapevine, TX
Answer: I will have to take your word for it that the frames on the two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive trucks are the same. However, you will have to take my word for it that making the conversion to four-wheel drive is not worth it. I've said it many times before-you will be money and time ahead if you sell your truck and buy a factory-built 4x4.
If you're dead set on making this conversion, then I really suggest you buy a complete wrecked 4x4 truck of a similar year. This alone will save you from making numerous trips back to the wrecking yard to pick up that part you forgot to get originally. Besides, you never know when some of the extra parts you obtain just may get put into use.
I don't see any reason why the Dana 60 shouldn't work in place of the 44, but you'll find them a bit on the scarce side, especially for a Dodge. It's hard to say if the driveshafts will work, as there are a lot of variables here.
Cost? Depends on how good of a deal you get and what you buy. For example, a Dana 60 frontend will go from, if you're lucky, $1,000 up to $1,800. Total costs of all of the parts from a salvage yard by the time you're done will run $2,500 if you're a good "wheeler and dealer" or more, but that's just a guess.

Prince Edward Island Masters in Mechanical Engineering
What is a Masters in Mechanical Engineering?
A masters in mechanical engineering prepares students to design, develop and produce various mechanical devices including tools, engines and machines. Earning a masters in mechanical engineering prepares graduates to enter the field as innovative, effective and highly skilled engineers. As such, individuals with a mechanical engineering graduate degree have an edge over competitors and increased career opportunities.
Masters in Mechanical Engineering Programs and Curriculum
Most mechanical engineering masters programs seek applicants with a bachelor's degree in engineering from an A.B.E.T. (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited program. However, some programs also accept applicants from a science or mathematical background. In addition, previous coursework in chemistry, physics, linear algebra, differential equations are typically requirements. Also, extensive coursework in calculus is often required.
Most masters programs in mechanical engineering have coursework unique to that particular program. However, several fundamental courses can generally be seen across most programs:
- Combustion
- Gas dynamics
- Computational fluid dynamics
- Mechanical design
- Mechatronics
- Structural acoustics
- Biomechanics
- Alternative energy systems and energy conservation
Most mechanical engineering graduate programs culminate in the completion of a project and a thesis. Upon graduating, most engineers will need to obtain licensure in order to being working.
Mechanical Engineering Career Paths
Mechanical engineers with master's degrees can enter directly into the field, sometimes even assuming a supervision role. With experience, engineers earn increasingly complex responsibilities. Therefore, they may advance to technical specialist positions, supervisor positions and
finally managing engineer positions. Engineers can find work in a variety of industries including manufacturing, scientific and technical services. Some are self-employed and others find work with government agencies.
Mechanical Engineering Salary and Job Outlook
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects jobs for mechanical engineers will grow by 5% between 2012 and 2022. Job growth will be fueled by advancements in technology and product improvement endeavors.
The BLS reported median annual salary for mechanical engineers in 2012 was $80,580. The top 10% of earners made more than $121,530, while the bottom 10% of earners made less than $52,030. The graph below provides 2012 median salary information for mechanical engineers employed in select industries.

In a paper published in the journal, PLoS ONE, scientists at Wageningen University in The Netherlands proposed that eating mealworms is a more sensible way of acquiring protein in the diet than eating chicken, pork or cattle. Per the article:
Compared to a kilogram of edible protein in meat from cows, chickens or pigs, production of the same amount of mealworm protein emits fewer greenhouse gases and requires much less land to grow. The findings support the argument that environmentally conscious eaters may do well to include beetle larvae in their diets. "This study demonstrates that mealworms should be considered a more sustainable source of edible protein," the team writes in a paper published yesterday in the journal PLoS ONE...Among the things that the worm-like larvae have going for them, they don't emit methane. Also, they are prolific. Depending on the species, females release up to 1,500 eggs over a lifetime. Larvae develop quickly and they convert their food into protein efficiently, at a similar rate to chicken but better than pigs and cattle.

Jack Norris also has a summary of the health markers Cholesterol & Blood Lipids, Blood Pressure, Body Weight, Homocysteine in vegans.
He has some other webpages summarizing research, the data on cancer rates for vegans isn't conclusive he says, but he lists a lot of studies.
"The Vegetarian Myth" is inaccurate crap.
The understood cause of fatness in the Westernized world is excess consumption of refined carbohydrates.
That isn't true. There is a lot of research on the obesity problem, and no, it's not a single macronutrient. Marion Nestle's foodpolitics.com site has a lot on obesity. The explanations are many: cheapness of high-sugar AND high-fat junk food; the prevalence of obesity is correlated with the number of fast-food (high-fat, large portion sizes) outlets in a neighborhood; lack of exercise since a lot of people live in suburbia which discourages walking or biking.
Michael Pollen's article on obesity seems sensible to me: agriculture in the U.S. makes too much food for us to eat. Too many calories. So the food industry has to sell those excess calories; they do this by making very palatable junk food. Potato chips are an excellent starch staple, drowned in grease.
You will not find an otherwise normal, healthy person who eats a clean (that is, no sugary refined carbs) omnivorous diet suffering from excessive weight-gain.
Of course you will! Just the other day I came across a site apparently dedicated to making fun of low-carbers by posting pictures of fat ones, like Sally Fallon, nutritionist at a site that promotes animal food. Kind of mean, but certainly a contradiction to your obviously false statement.
Fatness is a matter of how many calories one eats. It's easy to eat a lot of calories of high-fat food.
Americans are pathetically overweight and sick with the "diseases of affluence" which derive from eating too mich meat and dairy.
It isn't just the high-fat foods. A lot of the obesity problem comes from junk food.
Which is greasy - grease is a cheap way to make food tasty - but it also includes sugary soda pop. Also a cheap way to please people.
Drinking soda pop has been linked to obesity in children in a number of studies. Not so much with adults, I think, children have more of a sweet tooth. Obese adults tend to prefer high-fat foods.
Ok, neural implants it is then! So if I understand you correctly, killing animals for consumption does not violate the social contract ....
No. Without the necessary communication, there is no social contract. You can't violate a social contract that doesn't exist.
We have no evidence that any animal, with perhaps possibly the exception of cetaceans, has the ability to acknowledge the social contract. Seems reasonable enough. Hopefully advances in neuroscience will allow us to better understand animal consciousness.
Yup, it would be cool to have real communication with another sentient species. It'll probably take until we have neural inputs for our own species, and then we'll be able to adapt them to others and figure out which species are on par with us, or at least close enough to count.
I don't need a "social contract". I have common sense, empathy and logic on my side. Since I have no need to harm other animals to be healthy...it is morally reprehensible to do so.
I have common sense, empathy and logic on my side.
Empathy for ants. Right.
Logic is demonstrated, not proclaimed, by the way ... and I won't even get into common sense.
And why not empathy for ants?? If I don't have to kill them....why the hell would I??? They are minding their own business and living their little ant lives. I don't know if those tiny brains can process suffering or not...so I, again, err on the side of caution and try not to kill them. If an animal, human included, tries to hurt or kill me...don't worry...I'll kill them. But I see no reason for unnecessary violence. And THAT is what passes for "radical" in our culture??? Wow!!
You can project personality onto them and feel empathy for them if you want, but that's not a rational position. I think it's a waste of my time to continue arguing with you on the subject. You're not starting from good premises.
There isn't really any question that we are not the only sentient beings on the planet.
There are most likely a few species, yes. But you're jumping from there to "All animals deserve the same rights as humans." That's a completely unjustified leap.
There is no reason to think that other mammals don't think/feel pretty much the same way we do.
There's also no reason to think that a given animal thinks and feels the same way we do, until it's demonstrated.
Religious people don't accept that we are animals. They put humans on some pedastal...as an angel-being seperate from the other animals. We shouldn't make the same mistake. We're just brainy apes.
I've already said several times that I'm sure there are animals that are close to us in mental capacity. The problem with this argument is that you also can't separate us from the plants of this planet, evolutionarily speaking. At least, if you're going to, you're deciding that that branching of the evolutionary tree is where we're going to draw the line.
I draw the line differently. I don't eat mammals. Admittedly, a good part of that is the fact that mammals seem to have less healthy fat storage, in terms of consumption by other animals. Fish oils are far healthier.
Morally speaking, cows are fucking stupid. They'll walk through electrified fences, because they're not bright enough to figure out why they're experiencing pain. They're so far off from humans that I don't have a problem using them for food. I just don't do so, myself.
Well you damned well better be putting that implant in your OWN brain!! I don't think kidnapping and experimenting on them is a good way to start a discussion!
Once they're demonstrated to be safe (partially through animal testing), sure. I can think of lots of good uses for neural implants.
So, you'd refuse to allow a few forced implants on a few members of another species, if it means liberation and the signing of a social contract with that species? I consider the inability to allow for the violation of the rights (which don't exist, until we can communicate with them and establish those rights) of a few individuals, for the greater good of the species as a whole, to be an immoral position.
You're approaching the PETA level of crazy with the statements you're making here, by the way.
Birds are intelligent. They feel pain. They have as much right to their lives as we do. Fish may not be every intelligent, but they still feel pain.
No, birds don't have as much right to their lives as we do, until they demonstrate in some way that they would like to have those rights.
Some plants have electro-chemical signals that communicate damage to the plant, throughout the organism. Are they experiencing pain? I don't know, and I don't know that fish are experiencing pain, either.
But the social perception will change and it will be seen as a bad thing. No, the entire populations doesn't have to go vegan. But most of our food will have to comefrom plant sources. We can't support the world human population on meat and dairy without destroying the ecosystem.
The environmental argument is far better, yes. That only gets as far as a reduction in meat consumption, though. And you're still making completely unjustified statements about your perception of the future.
Wild speculation about future social perspectives is not a valid argument for the holding of those social perspectives. Hell ... true, prophetic knowledge of what future social perspectives will be (if that was possible) would not be a valid argument for those social perspectives.
I never said any such fucking thing. Don't put words in my mouth. You can't defend meat eating from a moral standpoint, or from a health or environmental standpoint. Veganism is a superior way of life on all counts. THAT was my argument. Sily me, thinking rational people would look at all the evidence and make decisions based on rational thought.
To quote you directly, "'Tasty' is not a defense." That's exactly what you said.
Part of rational thought is recognizing where the burden of proof lies. Restricting a behavior is only justified when you've demonstrated that there's a reason to do so.
Like I said, many times before, I don't accept your moral argument, at least not without a whole lot of modification, which would allow for the eating of most animals.
From a health perspective, pretty much all health studies I've ever seen which demonstrate negative effect involve red meat. Many studies demonstrate a benefit to eating fish.
The environmental argument justifies a reduction in our meat consumption, yes. You can't get to pure veganism from there.
Really?? What would that be? The planet is overcrowded and many children are orphaned and unwanted. Why not eat them?
There would be a whole cascade of negative social effects from allowing cannibalism.
All you have argued is that humans are irrational and they won't give up their cheeseburgers!
No, my point there was that you're unwilling to deal with half-measures, which society will accept, instead insisting on absolute stances, which won't be accepted. If you want to actually accomplish something, that's irrational.
You're approaching the PETA level of crazy with the statements you're making here, by the way.
I've made a clear, logical argument. If that sounds "crazy" to you, perhaps the problem is yours...not mine.
No, my point there was that you're unwilling to deal with half-measures, which society will accept, instead insisting on absolute stances, which won't be accepted. If you want to actually accomplish something, that's irrational.
I'm arguing a point. As I said...I expected supposedly rational people to look at the subject rationally....silly me. But atheists are no more rational than any of the other bi-pedal apes on the planet after all...are they?
Some plants have electro-chemical signals that communicate damage to the plant, throughout the organism. Are they experiencing pain?
Plants have no central nervous system or brains to process the sensation of pain. Fish do. I'd err on the side of caution with that one.
From a health perspective, pretty much all health studies I've ever seen which demonstrate negative effect involve red meat. Many studies demonstrate a benefit to eating fish.
The benefits of eating fish come from the fatty acids in fish. These fatty acids can be gotten from eating algae....which is where the fish got it from. I take an algae based Omega 3 supplement. We can "cut out the middle man" and just consume the algae.
Part of rational thought is recognizing where the burden of proof lies. Restricting a behavior is only justified when you've demonstrated that there's a reason to do so.
I have more than proven my point. Furhtermore your continued use of logical fallacies tells me I have more than won the debate. I have not once mentioned restricting anyone's behavior...YOU however have mentioned it more than once. "Strawman" anyone?? I am making a reasonable argument about a better way of life and backing it up with evidence. The people arguing agaisnt me are making emotional pleas. All the science and logic are on my side. I expected rational atheists to consider the argument and see the logic of it. Perhaps not run out and go vegan...but at least to read up on the subject and consider the benefits. Silly me...I forgot I was dealing with humans. Fine to reject god.....but reject food culture?? Blasphemy!!!!
Really?? What would that be? The planet is overcrowded and many children are orphaned and unwanted. Why not eat them?
There would be a whole cascade of negative social effects from allowing cannibalism.
There are a whole cascade of negative social, medical and environmental effetcs from the consumption of meat and dairy....but you seem to think that is OK. Bring on the roasted babies!! McToddler Riblets!!
Like I said, many times before, I don't accept your moral argument, at least not without a whole lot of modification, which would allow for the eating of most animals.
Well then, I find your postion to be immoral and kind of pathetic. You have not looked at the data, you have not thought about the implications for our species or the environment, and you don't have any empathy for your fellow animals.
The environmental argument justifies a reduction in our meat consumption, yes. You can't get to pure veganism from there.
There is no logical reason to continue behavior that produces negative effects. That is how you get to veganism. Not sure what "pure veganism" is. It isn't a flexible term.
I already SAID that the only people who have an excuse for eating meat are living a subsitance lifestyle, usuallly in an extreme climate. B-12 comes from bacteria in the soil. The animal eats plants, which includes some dirt and gets the B12 from there. Meat is NOT a source of B12 directly. Humans get B12 from vegetables, but ours are so clean they may not be a reliably consistant source...so supplementation is a good idea....just in case. Algae is not the only source of Omega 3. And WHY are you trying to find excuses?? Except for extreme circumstances (arctic native, Massai in Africa) people are perfectly healthy on a vegan diet. Unless they are at starvation level there is NO issue with health. I only take B12 supplements on occaision....just in case. I take nothing else regularly. I take Vitamin D in the winter. Almost all Americans are vitamin D deficient in the winter. Veganism is NOT difficult, and it is healthier.

March 13--SCHENECTADY COUNTY -- Schenectady County Public Health Services is seeking volunteers to assist with an emergency preparedness drill on April 3 at Schenectady High School.
Volunteers are needed to act as "patients" during a medication dispensing drill, and volunteers, preferably with a health-related background, are also sought to assist staff during the drill.
The goal is to help Public Health Services prepare to respond to a biological, chemical or radiological public health emergency, with this drill specifically testing the dispensing of medications in an emergency. During the drill, candy will be dispensed rather than actual medication.
Volunteers will be needed between roughly 1 and 3 p.m., and they will be needed for about 30 minutes each, though those who are available may be asked to go through the dispensing point multiple times using different patient scenarios. Volunteers interested in helping the staff will need to arrive by 11:30 a.m.
Those interested in volunteering are asked to pre-register at the county website, at SchenectadyCounty.com/PublicHealth.
Participating agencies will include county Public Health, the county Office of Emergency Management, the Schenectady police and fire departments, the Schenectady City School District, Ellis Hospital, Schenectady ARC, Sunnyview Hospital, Capital Care Medical Group, Schenectady County Auxiliary Police, the Schenectady County Medical Reserve Corps, Schenectady City Fire Hazmat, and the Visting Nurse Service of Northeastern New York.

LARAMIE, Wyo. – Leonard Washington scored 17 points, including eight straight during a pivotal stretch early in the second half, to help unbeaten Wyoming to a 56-40 win over visiting UC Santa Barbara on Friday night. Sophomore Alan Williams had his fifth double-double of the season for the Gauchos.
UCSB (4-7) kept the game close until Washington's personal rally in the second half put the Cowboys (12-0) back in control.
Santa Barbara took its first lead of the game, 25-24, early in the second half when Wyoming native Taran Brown made his first basket of the game, but that's when Wyoming started going inside to Washington, who scored eight straight, four on free throws, two on a power lay-up and two more on an offensive rebound and follow, to reclaim a 32-25 lead with 14:39 to play in the game.
Alan Williams, who finished with team-highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Gauchos, stopped the run with a lay-up. The score was still just 39-31 when the Cowboys outscored UCSB 16-2 to break the game open.
Luke Martinez, held without a three-pointer for much of the game, nailed a pair during the stretch while Derrious Gilmore made a three and a driving lay-up. Riley Grabau made three free throws and Washington hit a 16-foot jumper to complete the run. Sam Beeler's 10-footer ended the run and the score was 55-35 wit 4:12 left in the game.
The Cowboys struggled from three-point range in the first half, going 1-for-12, but found their touch in the final 20 minutes, making 4-of-11. The Gauchos were 1-for-5 in the first half, but the second half was not nearly as kind as they missed all eight attempts.
"I thought that was a huge factor in the game," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "We are a team that has a tough time winning when we don't make some threes. In the first half they were doubling Al (Williams) and he was kicking it out and we got open looks but couldn't knock them down. In the second half, they didn't double, contested hard and made it very tough."
Wyoming, one of the best defensive teams in the nation, forced the Gauchos into a 15-for-43 performance for the game, including 6-of-24 in the second half. They also finished just 1-for-13 from outside the three-point arc after hitting a season-high 13 in each of the previous two games.
"We saw it in Santa Barbara," said Williams of his team's Nov. 28 loss to the Cowboys at the Thunderdome. "That is one good defensive team. They are a veteran team and it really showed, on both ends, in the second half."
Wyoming also forced UCSB into 16 turnovers, eight in each half, leading to a 19-4 advantage in points off of turnovers. The Cowboys also had a 10-1 edge in steals.
The Gauchos battled to stay close in the first half.
With the score 8-6 Wyoming seven minutes into the game, the Cowboys used a cutting lay-up by Washington, a follow dunk by Larry Nance, Jr., and a three-pointer by Grabau to extend the edge to 15-6. The 7-0 run ended when Kyle Boswell made a pair of free throws and a step-back jumper to pull the Gauchos within 15-10.
Wyoming pushed the lead back to 18-10, but UCSB kept scratching, beginning with Williams who hit a lay-up as the shot clock ran out with 7:52 left, cutting the gap to 18-12. With Williams and Boswell combining for 19 of 23 points and Nate Garth scoring the other four, including a left-handed, running floater off the glass as the buzzer sounded to end the first half, the Gauchos trailed just 24-23. The Cowboys scored just one basket in the last nine minutes of the first half.
In addition to Alan Williams' 16 points and 10 rebounds, Boswell finished with 13 point and freshman Mitch Brewe had a career-high seven rebounds.
The Gauchos will take a few days off for the Christmas holiday and then return to Santa Barbara in preparation for their Big West opener on Saturday, Dec. 29 at Cal State Fullerton. The game against the Titans will be televised live on ESPNU and will tip-off at 7:00 p.m.
UCSB will play its first two games of 2013 at home, hosting UC Irvine at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 3 and Long Beach State at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 5. The game against the 49ers will be televised by Fox Sports Prime Ticket.

April 6, 2010
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara baseball team went up early in Tuesday's game, but a middle-inning hitting barrage by Loyola Marymount gave the Lions all they needed in a 12-4 win at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
Before the Lions even recorded a hit, the Gauchos led 4-0 courtesy of three runs in the first inning. Beck Wheeler, Matt Valaika and Trevor Whyte all had RBI singles off LMU starter Martin Viramontes.
But, while the LMU bullpen held the Gauchos in check, UCSB's bullpen couldn't do the same.
After starter Greg Davis pitched three perfect innings, five relievers allowed all 12 of the Lions runs and all 10 of LMU's hits. LMU (15-12) scored four runs in the fifth and five times in the sixth to put the game out of reach.
It was the Lions' 12th win in their past 14 games while the Gauchos (12-11) dropped their third straight contest.
Valaika and Gunnar Terhune each had three-hit days as UCSB had 12 hits, but the Gauchos stranded nine runners on the day.
Mike Ford (0-1) took the loss, allowing seven runs (five earned) in 2.1 innings of relief. The senior allowed just three hits, but he hit three others with a pitch and walked two more.
Sam Phippen made his season debut. The right-hander, who also plays on the Gaucho basketball team, allowed two runs on one hit in 2/3 of an inning.
UCSB opens Big West Conference play this weekend with a three-game series at Cal Poly. Friday and Saturday's games start at 6 p.m. while Sunday's game starts at 1 p.m. All three games can be heard on AM 1490 and streaming live online at UCSBgauchos.com.
Click here for more information and a schedule of baseball games on the air!
Earlier this year UCSB revealed a new look and the baseball team is sporting some new logos and uniforms on the field. Be sure to come to the baseball team's home games to outfit yourself in the new gear! Click here to take a look at the new logos and uniforms the Gauchos are wearing. All new gear is available for purchase at UCSB home baseball games.
UCSB Athletics has a new weekly radio show called Talk'n Gauchos which airs every Tuesday from 6-7 p.m. on AM 1490 KIST. The show is broadcast live from State & A Bar and Grill, located on the corner of State Street and Anapamu Street in Santa Barbara. Fans are encouraged to attend the show for free gear and ticket giveaways or to even e-mail a question in to one of the guests and have it read live over the air. The show also airs live online via audio streaming and fans can click here to check out the entire lineup of live audio streaming online.
As the Gauchos and Mustangs battle it out on the field, diamond, court, and in the pool, the Big West Conference rivals jointly seek to make fans and students aware of their campuses' recycling and sustainability efforts. The eco-slant to the rivalry goes hand-in-hand both the colors of sustainability (blue and green) and each schools colors (blue for UCSB and green for Cal Poly).
Some Facts About Sustainability
√ LED bulbs use 90% less electricity than traditional holiday bulbs. With their 20-year lifetimes, you don't have to replace LED light-strings as often as conventional ones. Burning 10 strands of lights with 100 lights per strand, eight hours per day for a month costs $175 for incandescent bulbs vs. about $1 for LED mini-bulbs. Incandescent lights give off as much as 90% of their energy as heat, leading to fire concerns. LEDs barely warm up.
√ Use cold water for hand washing. Every 10-degree drop in H2O temperature saves you 3%-5% on water heating costs. Most faucets spit out 2 gal per min while you're waiting for the water to warm up. With hand washing, the friction and the soap are what really get your hands clean. As far as water temp goes, you'd have to rinse your paws in boiling water to actually kill germs.
√ Every minute of every day, the U.S. loses two acres of agricultural land to development, up to 1.2 million acres per year.
√ Every year, the average American household will spend $17,000.00 on basics including food, clothing, body care, and other household items. And over the past 30 years, the waste produced in this country has almost tripled, from 88 million tons in 1960 to about 236 million tons in 2003.
√ More than 100 million trees worth of bulk mail arrives in American mailboxes each year that's the equivalent of deforesting the entire Rocky Mountain National Park every four months.

London: Antonio Conte`s men staged a late turnaround in Parma as they end the year with a victory against a stubborn Sardinian side
Juventus produced a late fightback in their final match of 2012 as they beat a plucky Cagliari side 3-1 at Stadio Ennio Tardini in Parma.
The Rossoblu took the lead in the first half when Arturo Vidal felled Marco Sau in the area and Mauricio Pinilla converted from the spot, but the Bianconeri fought back to level through Alessandro Matri and the substitute stole the victory for the visitors in added time with his second strike before Marko Vucinic made sure of the points.
The Old Lady controlled the opening stages of the match, finding each other with consummate ease and exploiting the space offered up to them by their opponents, but couldn't maintain that composure in the final third.
Their predicament was epitomised by Claudio Marchisio's wasteful pass in the area after a sharp exchange between Sebastian Giovinco and Kwadwo Asamoah, the midfielder coming up short in his attempt to set up Fabio Quagliarella.
Juventus then fell behind after 15 minutes as the hosts took the lead in their adopted home from the penalty spot.
Marco Sau was upended by a clumsy challenge in the area from Vidal and referee Antonio Damato took his time to deliberate before eventually pointing to the spot.
Pinilla stepped up and rattled the penalty beyond Gigi Buffon into the top left-hand corner to give his side the unexpected advantage.
The visitors continued to dominate possession but failed to put Michael Agazzi's goal under any real threat before halftime.
Asamoah fizzed a dangerous ball across the face of goal and Quagliarella and Stephan Lichtsteiner both blazed wide from promising positions, but it took until the 43rd minute for Andrea Pirlo to register the Bianconeri's first shot on target with a low drive from the edge of the area.
Juventus had a penalty shout of their own turned down by Domato when Quagliarella appeared to be hauled down by Davide Astori as Cagliari protected their lead with minimal fuss up to the break.
The visitors began to probe with a bit more intent after the break. Marchisio forced a more meaningful stop from Agazzi and a last-ditch block denied the same player after a smart turn in the area as Conte's men tried to crank up the pressure on Cagliari.
At the other end Sau continued to keep the Bianconeri defence on their feet, firstly forcing Buffon to tip over after an instinctive turn and shot before flashing a low centre along the Juventus goal.
Asamoah felt he should have had a penalty midway through the second half when he was barged in the back following a corner. Leonardo Bonucci's initial header came back of the frame of the goal and when substitute Matri had his follow up saved, the winger appeared to be shoved in the back as he skewed his header wide from two yards out.
Cagliari were then reduced to 10 men as captain Astori was dismissed for a second bookable offence after a needless trip on Giovinco and soon after the visitors had a penalty of their own to level things up.
Substitute Dario Del Fabro's first contribution to proceedings was to foul the tricky Giovinco in his own box but Vidal couldn't atone for his earlier misdemeanour and skied his penalty over the bar.
Cagliari's luck eventually ran out and it was the combination of the two substitutes Mirko Vucinic and Matri that finally undid the hosts defence.
Pirlo found the Montenegrin on the edge of the area and his ferocious effort was spilt by Agazzi at the feet of Matri who prodded the ball home after reacting quickest.
Matri then proved to be the hero as Nene`s poor clearance deflected off Vidal and into the former Cagliari man`s path as he kept his cool to slot past Agazzi in stoppage time.
Vucinic then made sure of the points as he converted Giovinco`s low centre from a couple of yards out to complete the comeback.

The next pope should be a man who can greet the world with a look of pleasure on his face, with a smile of joy. He should not come forward with the sad, bent posture of one who knows the world is in ruins and only the facades remain. He should be joyous anyway.
What he has ahead of him looks fairly impossible. He has to confront The Scandals in a way that allows the world to believe that they are over, that a corner has been turned and there will be no going back.
The Scandals seem now as great as the scandals that prefigured the Reformation. They are that dangerous to the Church, threatening to tear it down in the eyes of the world. The next pope must understand this. In his first months, he should take dramatic action, including the wholesale retirement and removal of as many as possible of those involved.
It would be wonderful if, at the moment the new pope is declared—Habemus Papem, "We have a pope"—not only the doors of the Vatican balcony were opened to reveal him but every window in the Vatican and the great doors of Saint Peter's itself. Open the doors, be vital, invite sunlight, show the world that a new time has begun.
When you open and clean a beautiful old mansion that hasn't been cleaned in a long time, it will raise a lot of dust. But the dust isn't new dirt; it is just proof that a cleaning is going on. The new pope shouldn't fear making it all look worse. It hardly can.
At the same time, the new pope must bring Catholicism back to basics, not to elaborations on a theme but to the theme itself. The modern Church, at the very highest levels of its thinking, in the writings of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, has become somewhat abstract and cerebral. Such things have their place, but for now, in the ruined world, what's needed is a reintroduction of Christ to the rising and post-Christian nations alike, always with an eye to meaning, meaning.
So the next pope must clean up the inside of the Church and journey constantly to the outside. It would be good to see him smile, embrace the world, wade in, as if his love of life itself is a proclamation of the realness of God and an appreciation of the vivid world He gave us.

A Culture Warrior
By George Weigel
When conceived in strictly functional terms, democracy demeans itself, and the gears of democratic politics too often freeze, as we have seen in venues ranging from the U.S. Congress to the Greek parliament. Democracy is more than the institutions of democracy; it takes a certain kind of people, living certain virtues, to make democracy work. That's been the teaching of the last two popes, and the next pope should drive home that message to democracies old, new and aborning.
In doing so, he would usefully deepen the debate over some of today's most divisive public policy issues by posing several Lincolnian queries.
Can democracy "long endure" if public policy measures human beings by their utility (and thus by their "cost") rather than by their inalienable dignity? If utility is the measure of man, no one is safe and the chillingly wicked, eugenic notion of "life unworthy of life" seems less a bad memory from the pre-Nazi German past than a contemporary standard by which to allocate health-care resources.
Thus the new pope would make a major contribution to shoring up the cultural foundations of the democratic project if he would press the case for the inalienable right to life while expanding the Church's already-extensive services for women in crisis pregnancies and those in need of compassionate, dignified end-of-life care. In doing so, he would model a more humane approach to life than the cold pragmatism now eroding the moral fabric of Western democracies.
Can democracy "long endure" if public policy compels religious institutions to be conveyor belts for government "services" that a religious community considers immoral? Or if the state decides who ought to be a religious minister? As an advocate for religious freedom in full and religious freedom for all, the new pope can help to strengthen civil society and its free institutions, which are both elementary schools of democracy and barriers against the encroachment of the Leviathan state.
Can democracy "long endure" if democracies lack a critical mass of citizens who cherish the common good as well as individual freedom, who complement self-reliance with voluntary charitable service to others, and who understand that they have obligations to future generations, not just to me, myself and I? A pope who calls the West out of the sandbox of self-absorption and into a nobler vision of human possibility could do wonders for the democratic project.
The next pope should be, in short, a charismatic, missionary culture warrior, challenging the world's democracies to rebuild their moral foundations and offering Catholic social doctrine as one tool for that urgent task.

A Catholic Gorbachev
By James Carroll
The man who steps into the Shoes of the Fisherman should be a leader who can do for the Church what the last general secretary of the Communist Party did for the Soviet Union. A Party functionary tapped by the Politburo to shore up the shaken Soviet Empire, Mikhail Gorbachev dismantled it instead. If rigid Moscow can be efficiently upended, less by an individual than by historical forces that he was wise and brave enough to recognize, so can Rome.
The Catholic Church and Soviet Communism stand at opposite moral poles, but one remains what the other was: a command society defined by its rejection of democracy. The priestly sex-abuse crisis is the Church's Chernobyl, spreading radioactive moral ruin. The new pope must do as Mr. Gorbachev did—challenge his ruling elite, lay bare his power center's secrets and sideline the bureaucracies that oppose reform. He must understand that the Church will not succeed in standing against the principles of accountability, transparency and electoral governance that have transformed human aspiration around the globe.
If the Kremlin's military die-hards could be disarmed, the Church's war with modernity can be called off. If Mr. Gorbachev could befriend Ronald Reagan, a new pope can treat the leaders of other religions as equals and those religions themselves as authentic ways to God. If the Cold War could end in peace, so can the Counter-Reformation.
Mr. Gorbachev brought into the open currents that had already been undermining Communism from below: glasnost, perestroika, Solidarity, the Velvet Revolution. The next pope, too, can validate reform currents—feminism, gay rights, freedom of conscience—that have already changed the faith of millions of Catholics.
The ethical sphere in which a pope acts couldn't be more different from what confronted Mr. Gorbachev in the fading days of Soviet tyranny. Yet, facing a Catholic version of such obsolescence, and retrieving Gospel virtues as the truest measure of the Church, why could the Vicar of Christ not do as much?

Among the Poor
By Michael Sean Winters
The next pope will find himself living in one of the planet's most lavish palaces, in the trappings of a 17th-century royal court. He will be a modern celebrity too, with all the expectations conferred by that status.
Still, there are steps he could take to identify himself more closely with the world's poor. Pope Benedict XVI had a penchant for elaborate, baroque dress. He did this, as I understand it, because of his commitment to the ideal of beauty in the Church's liturgy. But a simpler attire can be beautiful too, and it wouldn't make a parent struggling to feed her children wonder why so much money is spent on luxuries.
The new pope will be the Bishop of Rome. Like many bishops throughout the world, he can make time to go to soup kitchens and serve the poor, visit the infirm in hospitals and go to local prisons, spending time with those whom the rest of the world tends to shun. Such visits can become a regular part of the new pope's foreign travel schedule. A pope must visit with the powerful, with civil and ecclesial leaders, to be sure, but there is no reason he cannot regularly visit the world's poor as well.
Identifying with the poor would allow the new pope to give visible evidence of Catholicism's deep-seated suspicions of modern consumer capitalism. Capitalism values thrift and aggressiveness, its heroes are the protean, self-made men of industry. It thrives on competition.
But Christians follow Jesus Christ, whose grace is gratuitous, not thrifty, whose life was characterized by contemplation, not aggression. Jesus was not a self-made man but radically dependent on his Father's will.
Jesus, and the Church that Catholics believe he founded, valued solidarity more than competition. He characterized his ministry as bringing good news to the poor. Benedict XVI was not shy about criticizing capitalism in his writings. We need a pope who will critique it by his actions.

Ready to Play Offense
By Mary Eberstadt
No sooner had the unexpected news from Rome ricocheted across the globe than certain whispered hopes began to be heard: Time now for women priests. Time to abolish the celibate priesthood. Time to soften up on birth control, abortion, marriage. Such are the perpetual longings of those who would remake the Catholic Church by aligning it with that North Star of modernity, the sexual revolution.
The next pope can pop those trial balloons by energetically deploying Christianity's most underutilized asset these days: doctrinal orthodoxy. That, and only that, will move the Church out of its defensive crouch and back into forward mode.
Everyone knows what stands in the way of such assertiveness: 10-plus years of sex scandals. Hence the first order of business is to establish that the scandals, as an institutional phenomenon, are over. Perhaps also a radical new organization—say, a monastic order dedicated to penance for the sins of the sexual revolution itself—would help to clarify a thing or two about messaging.
Then maybe the rest of the world can get around to a widely overlooked but potent truth: Christianity Lite has been tried repeatedly during the past few decades, and for Catholics and Protestants alike, the result has been graying pews, falling attendance, indifferent practice and children from "Christian" homes who do not know Easter from the Easter bunny.
Why? Because Christianity Lite turns its back on that other great institution whose fate has been historically twinned with that of the churches: the family. As the empirical record shows, where the family is strong, so are Christian communities and doctrine—and vice versa. For both Protestants and Catholics, it is orthodoxy, not heterodoxy, that galvanizes the faithful, mints new recruits and succeeds, literally, in reproducing itself.
Unprecedented numbers of fatherless homes, burgeoning levels of depression and anxiety, a sexual ethos so freakishly jejune that parents of every stripe fear it—these are just some of the specters now stalking the secular West. Then there are the crushing burdens outside the West that traditional teaching also addresses: the women around the world who suffer genuine oppression, like sex trafficking; the millions of believers persecuted for believing; the many other human beings unwanted by anyone else and upon whose intrinsic dignity Christianity—and sometimes, only Christianity—insists.
The best defense remains a good offense, and the riven secular world itself, however inadvertently, hands the next pope plenty of moral ammunition. He just has to be willing to use it.

A Californian
By Paul Baumann
The novelist Walker Percy once insisted that the religious choice faced by modern Catholics is "either Rome or California." (Or at least that is what the late Father Richard John Neuhaus, a convert to Catholicism like Percy himself, once claimed Percy said.)
Presumably, Percy juxtaposed Rome and California because he thought California represented all that was trivial, transient and deeply alienating in modern life. Heedless, improvisational, materialist and seemingly unburdened by history, California was the future, and Percy wanted none of it.
But this is a false choice. As the breathless coverage of the papal transition makes clear, Catholics do not live in a world where California and Rome can be easily divorced from one another. In fact, the next pope should be a bit of a Californian.
The Catholic Church teaches that God entered history to redeem and consecrate it. Our salvation is being worked out not in some idealized past but in the often meretricious here and now. The incarnation gives this world—every corner of it—a greater solidity, a greater resonance.
If this is true, there is no writing off California and the future it portends. Rome is no refuge; it never has been, and as recent scandals remind us, never could be. Yet Rome has much missionary work to do—in California and elsewhere. That work will require a change in tone and a refusal to condemn what it cannot yet understand. It will entail a willingness to think anew about once settled understandings of sexual morality and about how the Church is governed.
As the Catholic philosopher Charles Taylor has written, Rome offers "too many answers choking off questions and too little sense of the enigmas that accompany a life of faith; these are what stop a conversation from ever starting between our Church and much of our world."
The future will surprise us as much as Benedict XVI's resignation did. Rome should prepare to be joyously surprised by what is new, for that is what the Church's founder promised.

As a resident of Chestnut Hill and a practicing psychotherapist as well as a mother and grandmother, I was profoundly affected by the tragedy in Connecticut last week. I thought of all the many families with preschoolers in our neighborhood and their struggles to decide how to handle talking to their children about the violence. I would like to share some insights and information about violence and children that may be of help to families in this time of crisis.
When a violent event hits the news about a shooting at school all parents get anxious about their child's safety. If your preschooler happens to listen to radio or television accounts about the Connecticut tragedy, or perhaps hears about it at school, it can prevent a child from seeing his or her preschool or day care as a safe and caring place.
You may notice your preschooler acting more whiny or clinging to you more, throwing tantrums or complaining of stomach aches or waking up more often at night. This is called regression and is a coping mechanism children may use to make themselves feel safer. Set the same consistent limits as you have previously but allow them this slight regression during their healing period. Adhere to comforting routines at home and stay clear of all news on the radio or television. In addition, it is important to monitor your own feelings when your child is present.
With regard to talking to your child about the tragedy, first find out what your child knows by asking what was heard. Remember, some children may learn about the event and quickly forget about it, so don't feel the need to press the issue. If your child does want to talk and begins to ask questions keep your response truthful, but simple, and use words that a child can comprehend. Give the child as much information as they ask for but no more than that.
Offer reassurance by normalizing the situation by keeping a regular schedule and reminding your child that you will always protect them. Remind them that they are safe, and that their home, their neighborhood and their school are very safe places. Stay close to your children and give an abundance of hugs and other ways of nurturing them in this difficult time. Be sure to take time for yourself to find friends or family members whom you can talk to about your feelings related to the tragedy so you will be better able to help your child. Children of this age react more to their parents' distress than to anything else.
If you notice that your child needs more help to process this violence, in order to provide closure to it contact your child's preschool or school to see if they have a school counselor for your child to talk to. Encourage your child's school to develop support groups for children where they can safely verbalize their questions led by competent staff. You may also want to contact your child's pediatrician for referrals to therapists in the area who specialize in therapy for children, particularly if your child is becoming more anxious or depressed than you feel you and your child's school can manage.
If you need further information or names of therapists who specialize in children's therapy, please contact me at 215-540-5860, ext. 100. There are many highly qualified therapists in this area who can help your child. I hope this information proves helpful to you and your families.

There are many myths surrounding nutrition, often reinforced by a lack of nutrition education in medical schools, resulting in some doctors' lack of adequate information on the subject.
Despite myths to the contrary, the following appear to be beneficial: lots of fruits and vegetables (see here, here), plant-based diets, protein (which is not bad for bones), soy (even for women on Tamoxifen; it also produces positive effects on cognition and has no negative effects on male fertility), coffee, tea made with cold water, cooking vegetables (especially in the microwave), gluten (for 132 out of every 133 people), fatty (plant-derived) dressing, chlorella, some plant enzymes, alkaline water (but not alkaline water machines), various cholesterol-lowering foods, and maintaining very low cholesterol levels. At the same time questions have been raised about red yeast rice supplements.
Despite myths regarding the dangers or purported benefits of the following, they do not appear to be either: homeopathy, stevia, MSG (despite alleged allergic reactions), vitamin C supplements, citric acid, crop nutrient decline and moderate alcohol consumption in healthy people. Pomegranate juice is probably not as good as advertised (is anything?).
Finally, despite myths claiming no danger or even benefits from the following, these may to be harmful: eggs, fish, fish oil (due to DDT and other industrial pollutants – this includes distilled cod liver oil), meat due to arachidonic acid, deep-frying foods, having 'average' cholesterol levels (see here, here), low stool weight and size, a pure raw food diet, B12 deficiency present in non-supplementing vegans as well as their babies (up to 20% of them), too little iodine, too much iodine, avocados, raw alfalfa sprouts, non-organic apple juice, artificial colorings (especially ones derived from insects), aspartame, some types of Ayurvedic medicine (see here, here), blue-green algae supplements, iron pills, spirulina supplements (for their neurotoxins and liver toxins), multivitamin supplements, vitamin E supplements, Herbalife (for its liver toxicity, possibly due to vitamin A), mangosteen juice, Juice Plus+ (which is really just another vitamin supplement), high fructose corn syrup, kimchi, kombucha tea, noni juice, and yerba mate.

The Heat are playing better now. They have Wade back, and have settled for a rotation with less minutes for wild cards like Dorell Wright. They're trying to be back in the playoffs as soon as possible.
Anything can happen, as Nellie will be pretty pissed after the performance against Orlando, but we're pretty banged up right now. I'm calling a Heat win in a close game.
Miami by 5.

Italian Thrash Metalers Sawthis Preparing To Record New Album
Italian modern thrashers Sawthis have 11 tracks ready to be recorded for the follow-up to their 2010 album "Egod."
The band will perform on August 5 at Spirit of Burgas festival in Bulgaria and on August 7 at Metalcamp in Slovenia. Following these two shows, Sawthis will enter the studio to begin recording its third full-length CD.
In other news, a five-minute video diary of Sawthis's 2012 European tour with Sepultura can be seen below.
Sawthis's sophomore album, "Egod", was released in May 2010 via Scarlet Records. The CD was recorded at Petemkin Studios with producer Paolo Ojetti (INFERNAL POETRY). 13 songs were written for the album and 10 of them were tracked for the final product. Daniele "Axo" Galassi from Infernal Poetry played a guest guitar solo on "Barabba", which is said to be "the most atypical song that Sawthis has ever written."

No decision on Trump's travel ban today
No decision on Trump's travel ban today
The 9th Circuit Court will not be issuing a decision Wednesday on the temporary suspension of President Donald Trump's controversial immigration order, according to a statement from a court official.
"The court will not be issuing a decision today. Also, the court will provide advance notice of 60 to 90 minutes when a decision is imminent," David Madden, an 9th Circuit official, said in an email.
Three federal judges grilled lawyers from the Justice Department and Washington state Tuesday night as they determined whether to lift the nationwide halt against the travel ban in a lawsuit brought by two states and numerous advocacy groups.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 2, 2006) - Tim Jennings caught and shot on an inbounds pass with 0.9 seconds left to lift No. 4 Gardner-Webb to a 64-63 win over No. 5 East Tennessee State in first-round action of the 2006 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Championship on Thursday afternoon in Memorial Center.
ETSU led by 17 points with 14:15 remaining in the game, but the Bulldogs (17-11) used two big runs to close the gap. It looked as if the Bucs would survive, but a turnover with 4.4 seconds left gave G-W the chance for the win. After a series of timeouts and a ball deflected out of bounds, Jennings got the matchup he needed in the lane and made the inbounds pass from T.J. McCullough count.
The final shot was just the finishing touch on an incredible comeback.
Early in the second half, ETSU's Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.), the A-Sun player of the year, put his team on his back and appeared to have carried them into the semifinals.
Smith scored seven points as part of an 11-2 run to open the half. The Bucs (15-13) had the ball with a chance to extend the lead further, but a turnover led to a Simon Conn dunk.
That sparked the Bulldogs. Conn scored three straight baskets and added a free throw after makes by Chris Gash and Brian Bender. The 11-2 run brought G-W back to within shooting distance.
ETSU recovered for the time being and once again Smith did his part to get momentum back the side of the Bucs. Smith scored all eight quick points to help push the lead back to 57-46.
Gardner-Webb picked back up from there and actually took the lead when Gash capped off a 14-2 run with a long 3-pointer.
On a basket by Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio)and two free throws from Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.), ETSU reclaimed the lead and were up 63-62 with the ball and less than 1:00 remaining. A turnover gave G-W the ball back with a chance.
After running down the clock to eight seconds, Gash tried to win it with a jumper on the baseline, but his shot bounded away and ETSU recovered. The Bulldogs sixth team foul with 4.4 left gave ETSU the ball under G-W's basket. The Bucs, however, were unable to get the ball in, setting up Jennings' heroics.
Conn had a big game for the Bulldogs, leading the way with 20 points and seven rebounds. Gash added 15 points, Bender 14 and Jennings 10.
ETSU was led by Smith's game-high 21 points. He also chipped in five rebounds, five assists and four steals. Dillion Sneed (Chicago) had 13 points and eight rebounds. Nuckles added 12 points and five boards.
