Francis Beckwith is a U.S. philosopher who sparked a furor when he resigned as president of the Evangelical Theological Society, upon his return to his cradle Catholic faith.
On June 15, Beckwith spoke at a Vatican conference sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization to celebrate Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life). He will be the keynote speaker at the Aug. 1-3 Napa Institute Conference, where he will outline new challenges to the rationality of Christian belief and the need for a public response from the Church.
Beckwith is a professor of philosophy and church-state studies at Baylor University and resident scholar in Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion, whose research spans the fields of ethics, legal philosophy and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of Defending Life: A Moral and Legal Case Against Abortion Choice and Return to Rome: Confessions of an Evangelical Catholic, among other works, and blogs at Return to Rome.
Beckwith spoke with Register senior editor Joan Frawley Desmond June 8 about his pilgrimage to the Catholic Church, how Catholics and evangelicals have overcome the tensions of the past by working together on issues like abortion and same-sex "marriage" and the growing suppression of religious speech in the name of "tolerance."
You were raised Catholic, left the Catholic Church and then returned. Tell me about that.
When I was a kid in my early teens, I became very interested in the person of Christ. My father had a friend who left a book at the house called Good News for Modern Man. I read it and started going to a Protestant Jesus People Church in Las Vegas.
I still went to Mass with my parents, but I was drawn more to evangelicalism. My experience was that the Catholics in the early '70s were unserious about theology and more concerned about the cosmetics of the post-Vatican II world, and that pushed me away.
After college, I went on to get a Ph.D. in philosophy at Fordham University and had an opportunity to study under one of the great minds in philosophy, Norris Clarke, SJ.
Studying and teaching on the major issues of our time, I began to see that the people who were doing the best work were Catholics. I realized I had begun assimilating many Catholic ideas, even though I didn't consider myself Catholic. They offered better answers on apostolic succession, the doctrine of justification, penance and the Eucharist.
Was there a particular doctrinal issue that spoke to your own faith life?
One difficulty I had as an evangelical was figuring out the role of holiness. After all, I was saved — they said you would exhibit good works, yet it's not that easy.
Catholicism, and ultimately Jesus, offers redemption after one becomes a Christian. The issue of post-baptismal sin is addressed with confession, reconciliation.
Initially, I didn't appreciate the whole Catholic understanding of the sacramental life, prayer and fasting, so essential to being formed according to Christ.
You now describe yourself as an "evangelical Catholic." What does that mean?
As I wrote in my book Return to Rome, "I am an evangelical Catholic because I believe in the Evangel, the Gospel, the Good News, and that it is a gift of God that ought to be embraced and lived by everyone. As an evangelical, indeed as a Christian, I have an obligation to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
"I am also Catholic, because I believe the Church is universal and that its continuity is maintained through history by the whole of its membership, the body of Christ, and not merely as a collection of isolated individuals in personal relationship with Jesus. I also believe that this Catholic Church is under the direction of the Holy Spirit working through the Church's magisterium, the apostles' successors."
In recent decades, pro-life Catholics and evangelicals have worked together against legal abortion and, more recently, same-sex "marriage." Now, they are working to overturn the HHS mandate. How has this joint advocacy improved mutual understanding?
One thing about the evangelical world: Until the early '80s, there existed a strong anti-Catholic message. With [the shift] on abortion and marriage issues, that changed radically.
It has forced both sides to look at the traditions of each. Evangelicals realized that the presentation of Catholicism offered by evangelical literature wasn't quite accurate. Catholics saw the attraction of the Protestant view of Scripture, which was really part of the Catholic Tradition.
Catholics hadn't thought about the conversion of people who aren't Catholic, but evangelicals are good at communicating their faith in a way that is understandable to ordinary people.
Catholics often talk to each other in language that outsiders don't understand. Evangelicals are good at presenting their faith in venues that are hostile to religious belief. They are very good at equipping laypersons in rather sophisticated ways. For example, one can find scores of conferences every year hosted by evangelical churches, and at these conferences some very well-educated and accomplished evangelical scholars will offer to their listeners winsome and intelligent ways to share their faith with others.
Religious liberty has emerged as a key ecumenical issue, but the social and political contest has changed from previous efforts to attack and stigmatize Catholic ethnic groups. Today, Church teaching is the target.
Threats to religious liberty today are different from the American experience of the 1930s, when Protestants feared that Catholics would use public funds [through school vouchers] to evangelize.
Now, [with the HHS mandate] you have the government conscripting the financial resources of the Church to advance a secular point of view on the nature of sexuality and the humanity of unborn children.
So the issue has shifted from a belief that the Church should leave the government alone to a belief that the government should leave the Church alone to conduct its business without interference.
During the Year of Faith, Blessed John Paul II's landmark encyclical, Evangelium Vitae, is getting special attention. What is your message at the conference on the encyclical hosted by the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization?
I discuss how to understand the culture of death — including its philosophical roots — and how to respond to it for the purpose of persuading skeptics.
I offer a reply to the authors of the article "After-Birth Abortion: Why Should the Baby Live?" first published online in March 2012 in the Journal of Medical Ethics.
I show that even in an article hostile to the culture of life the authors must rely on assumptions consistent with the sanctity of life.
[Thus] one finds a glimmer of John Paul's claim that the gospel of life is "written on the heart of every man and woman, has echoed in every conscience 'from the beginning,' from the time of creation itself, in such a way that, despite the negative consequences of sin, it can also be known in its essential traits by human reason."
Your book Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Midair and other commentary have addressed the suppression of natural-law arguments and religious speech in the academy, all in the name of a skewed interpretation of the virtue of "tolerance."
The context has changed. There is an aggressive secularism that is punitive and unforgiving. The rightness of the cause cannot be questioned, for, if any doubts intrude, the whole house of cards collapses.
It is the collapse of liberalism, which has morphed into an ideological fanaticism. They once defended free speech and agreed that everyone should have their day in court. Now, they just call you names.
This is the first generation of people who have been educated in universities where postmodernism is in ascendance. It teaches that ideas and arguments are just a pretext for gaining power. There is an anti-intellectual element to this.
When I was in college, the professor told us, "Pro-lifers are only against abortion because they want to keep women barefoot and pregnant."
I said, "No, they think children are one of us."
But people in elite institutions say that reason doesn't apply to moral questions, and so my argument would be dismissed as just a cover for prejudice.

The Facts Behind Circumcision
Newborn male circumcision is the most common surgical procedure performed in the U.S. It's a common misconception that there are tangible health benefits to male circumcision, but the truth is no medical society in the world recommends it. This invasive procedure carries serious health risks, including infection, hemorrhage, surgical mishap, and death, as well many ethical considerations.
Get the facts behind circumcision below!
Myth – Circumcising baby boys is a safe and harmless procedure.
Fact – Surgically removing part of a baby boy's penis causes pain, creates immediate health risks and can lead to serious complications. Risks include infection, hemorrhage, scarring, difficulty urinating, loss of part or all of the penis, and even death. Circumcision complications can and do occur in even the best clinical settings.
Myth – Circumcision is just a little snip.
Fact – Surgical removal of the foreskin involves immobilizing the baby by strapping him face-up onto a molded plastic board. In one common method, the doctor then inserts a metal instrument under the foreskin to forcibly separate it from the glans, slits the foreskin, and inserts a circumcision device. The foreskin is crushed and then cut off. The amount of skin removed in a typical infant circumcision is the equivalent of 15 square inches in an adult male.
Myth – Circumcision is routinely recommended and endorsed by doctors and other health professionals.
Fact – No professional medical association in the United States or anywhere else in the world recommends routine circumcision as medically necessary. In fact, leaving boys intact is becoming the norm in the U.S., as parents realize the risks and harms of circumcision.
Myth – The baby does not feel any pain during circumcision.
Fact – Circumcision is painful. Babies are sensitive to pain, just like older children and adults. The analgesics used for circumcision only decrease pain; they do not eliminate it. Further, the open wound left by the removal of the foreskin will continue to cause the baby pain and discomfort for the 7-10 days it takes to heal.
Myth – If I don't circumcise my son, he will be ridiculed.
Fact – Times have changed and so has people's understanding of circumcision. Today, although the popularity of circumcision varies across geographical areas, nearly half of all baby boys born in the U.S. will leave the hospital intact. Most medically advanced nations do not practice child circumcision. Three quarters of the world's men are intact.
Myth – A boy should be circumcised to look like his father.
Fact – Children differ from their parents in many ways, including eye and hair color, body type, and (of course) size and sexual development. If a child asks why his penis looks different from that of his circumcised father (or brother), parents can say, "Daddy (or brother) had a part of his penis removed when he was a baby; now we know it's not necessary and we decided not to let anyone do that to you."
Myth – Routine circumcision of baby boys cannot be compared to Female Genital Mutilation.
Fact – Rationales offered in cultures that promote female genital cutting – hygiene, disease prevention, improved appearance of the genitalia, and social acceptance – are similar to those offered in cultures that promote male circumcision. Whatever the rationale, forced removal of healthy genital tissue from any child – male or female – is unethical. Boys have the same right as girls to an intact body, and to be spared this inhumane, unnecessary surgery.
Myth – To oppose male circumcision is religious and cultural bigotry.
Fact – Many who oppose the permanent alteration of children's genitals do so because they believe in universal human rights. All children – regardless of their ethnicity or culture – have the right to be protected from bodily harm.
Myth – Circumcising newborn baby boys produces health benefits later in life.
Fact – There is NO link between circumcision and better health. In fact, cutting a baby boy's genitals creates immediate health risks. The foreskin is actually an important and functional body part, protecting the head of the penis from injury and providing moisture and lubrication. Circumcision also diminishes sexual pleasure later in life.
Myth – Male circumcision helps prevent HIV.
Fact – Claims that circumcision prevents HIV have repeatedly been proven to be exaggerated or false. Only abstinence or safe sex, including the use of condoms, can prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.

KOROLYOV, Russia — After a "smooth ride" through space, the capsule carrying a new U.S.-Russian crew and the world's first paying female space passenger docked at the international space station Wednesday.
Officials at Russia's Mission Control applauded as the ship carrying Iranian-born American telecommunications entrepreneur Anousheh Ansari, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin and U.S. astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria hooked up with the orbiting station in a trouble-free automatic docking following a two-day journey.
"Somehow our Russian friends and partners are able to make these operations look routine, but those of us in the space business know that these matters are not routine and in fact very difficult, and so it's a testament to their skills that they can make it appear to be routine," said NASA Associate Administrator Rex Geveden, who was on hand to watch the docking with other U.S., Russian and European space officials.
A couple of hours after the docking, the new crew floated into the space station, welcomed by its current residents, who treated them to a festive lunch. Ansari, who smiled broadly, was clad in a bright yellow polo shirt and an X Prize baseball cap. Ansari and her family were among the key financial backers of the $10 million Ansari X Prize for private spaceflight.
Ansari's family and relatives of other astronauts were at Mission Control to witness the mooring over a video link.
Ansari's husband, Hamid, said "all of us feel proud, excited and happy." He congratulated his wife and her crewmates over a radio link with the station.
"Now we all need to know how to get there," Hamid told Anousheh.
"I'm working on it," Anousheh replied. "It was a smooth ride."
She voiced similar sentiments in an e-mail posted on her Weblog:
"...The launch was very smooth. The trip to the station felt long but it was worth it. I cannot keep my eyes off the windows. Earth is magnificent and peaceful from up here. You don't see any of those awful things you hear on the news, from up here.
"The Earth is so beautiful and if we could all see it this way I'm sure we would do everything in our power to preserve it. I truly hope that more and more people get to experience this trip first hand...."
Important source of funding
Ansari is the fourth private spaceflight participant to pay a reported $20 million for a space station visit. The paying passengers have become an important source of funding for Russia's space industry.
Charles Simonyi, a Hungarian-born billionaire who helped Microsoft create Word and Excel, was to blast off for the station next spring, and a Malaysian astronaut will follow in the fall, said Alexei Krasnov, head of manned spaceflight for the Russian Federal Space Agency. (Microsoft and NBC Universal are partners in the MSNBC.com joint venture.)
Slideshow: Month in space: Future frontiers Krasnov hailed Ansari's courage and skills and added that in theory she could fly to the station again in 2008 — the time when she had initially been scheduled to make the journey. Ansari was added to the current crew roster just last month after Japanese businessman Daisuke Enomoto failed a medical test.
Ansari, Tyurin and Lopez-Alegria blasted off for the station in the TMA-9 capsule from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Monday. The three are joining German astronaut Thomas Reiter and the two outgoing crew members, Russian Pavel Vinogradov and American Jeff Williams, who are due to return to Earth with Ansari on Sept. 29.
During the six-month tenure of Tyurin and Lopez-Alegria, four spacewalks are planned, with as many as three to be conducted in January to help set up the station's permanent cooling system. Another will take place earlier to retrieve and install experiments on the station's exterior.
Station problem downplayed
Krasnov played down Monday's problem with the station's Russian-made Elektron oxygen generator that overheated, spreading a burned-rubber smell and leaking potassium hydroxide, a compound that is used to power batteries. NASA said the leak was not life-threatening, and the crew quickly cleaned up the spill.
Krasnov said Wednesday that the crew had enough spares to fix the machine and plenty of oxygen canisters as an alternative supply source. "Elektron is just one of three oxygen-generating systems on the station," he said.
Nikolai Sevastianov, head of the Russian rocket company Energia, said the problem with the oxygen generator had been resolved. "Now the system is working nominally, and we do not foresee any more problems," Sevastianov told reporters.
Women in space
Ansari is not the first woman to fly to the space station but Russian news media are paying her the kind of attention usually reserved for starlets, including information on her wardrobe.
"For Anousheh, we prepared a week's supply of white women's underpants of cambric cotton and several undershirts and also some other women's accessories," the Itar-Tass news agency quoted Alexander Yarov, director of the Kentavr-Nauka company that makes clothing for cosmonauts, as saying.
The report said that Ansari was not allowed to take along makeup "but in the opinion of her men colleagues, even without decorative cosmetics she is very attractive and photogenic."
Russian politicians have even pressed space officials to make room aboard a future Soyuz craft for the singer Madonna, after she voiced interest in spaceflight during a concert-tour stop in Moscow. "It was mostly a joke, but there's a grain of seriousness to it," Krasnov said.
He said the politicians were not authorized to speak on Madonna's behalf, but "when a truly authorized person addresses this, we will have to respond."
This report includes information from The Associated Press and MSNBC.com's Alan Boyle.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Rudy Gay and the Toronto Raptors are out of the playoff picture and have just 10 games left before their season ends. That doesn't mean they're going to go quietly.
Gay scored 19 of his 21 points during a dominant third quarter and the Raptors ended a five-game skid with a 99-82 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.
Toronto led 46-45 at the break and took control by outscoring the Pistons 23-5 in the first eight minutes of the third period.
DeMar DeRozan also had 21 to help Toronto win a second straight meeting with the Pistons.
"Whatever he drank at halftime, he needs to keep drinking it," coach Dwane Casey said of Gay, who was 7 for 11 from the floor in the third.
"Something clicked at halftime to get him going."
Gay had just two free throws in the first half, but heated up quickly once the teams returned to the floor. He scored eight of the Raptors' first 10 second-half points and added two 3-pointers later in the period to help turn the game into a rout.
"We've got a lot of young players and we're playing for next year," Gay said. "These young guys need to know what it feels like to win."
Amir Johnson added 20 points, including 10 during the second period that helped the Raptors take the lead for good.
Jonas Valanciunas had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Kyle Lowry added 11 assists.
"Rudy picked it up in the third and DeMar got it going, too," Lowry said. "When they get going, it's hard to stop them."
Jonas Jerebko scored 20 points to lead the Pistons, who also got 17 from rookie Andre Drummond in their eighth straight home loss. Detroit made just six field goals in the third and often couldn't seem to stop Gay once he got hot.
"It just doesn't add up when you're competitive for a half," an exasperated Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "It just snowballed on us.
"This is embarrassing."
The Pistons turned the ball over four times in the third and Toronto turned the miscues into nine points. Detroit ended the game with 13 giveaways.
Drummond, who missed 22 games with a stress fracture in his lower back, made his first career start and played for the first time since leaving a Feb. 6 loss to Brooklyn.
Kyle Singler added 13 points and Greg Monroe added 11 points and 13 rebounds as Detroit fell for the 12th time in its last 13 games.
It was the first time Toronto played against Pistons point guard Jose Calderon since the Jan. 30 trade that sent longtime Raptor Calderon to Detroit, Tayshaun Prince to Memphis and Gay to Toronto.
NOTES: Pistons guard Brandon Knight left the game less than a minute in after a collision with Toronto's DeRozan left him with a bloody nose. He returned a few minutes later wearing a protective mask and limped off the floor after being fouled midway through the fourth quarter. . It was '90s Night at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Actor Luke Perry of "Beverly Hills 90210" fame presented the game ball. . Longtime Pistons trainer Mike Abdenour is resting at home after having a stent procedure placed for a heart condition that was discovered March 24. He's been with the team for 34 seasons.

Dogs in attack on boy must go, police chief says
Thursday June 14, 2012
PITTSFIELD -- Pittsfield Police Chief Michael J. Wynn has issued an order deeming three dogs -- pit bull terrier mixes -- that attacked a 9-year-old boy on Tuesday to be "vicious animals" and has given the owners 10 days to appeal the decision or "dispose" of the canines.
Two days after the attack that left Perrin Petell with 35 dog tooth punctures and a portion of his scalp torn off, the boy's father, Anthony Petell, told The Eagle that Perrin is doing "pretty good" but is still shaken up.
Around 9:30 p.m. Monday, Perrin and his mother, Jes syca Petell, were walk ing into the rear entrance of a multi-family home at Ed ward and Mal colm avenues when Perrin opened the door to a common hallway. The three dogs burst out, dragged him down the stairs and continued their attack.
Perrin was treated for his injuries at Berkshire Medical Center and released. Anthony Petell said the family returned Wednesday to have the doctors change Perrin's bandages.
It was still unclear who pulled the dogs off of the boy. Police Capt. John Mullin said that the dog owners, Lori Rohde and Adam Pollack, both 42, were there at the time of the incident.
Rohde told police it was only two dogs that attacked, but Jessyca Petell said all three were involved.
The three pit bull terrier mixes, an adult male, a 6-month-old male, and a pregnant female, are under quarantine for 10 days at the Eleanor Sonsini Animal Shelter in Pittsfield.
Animal Control Officer Jo seph Chague said Wednes day that any dog that bites a human or other animal is automatically quarantined as part of a rabies protocol. All three have up-to-date rabies shots, said police.
The victims' parents said they had heard from neighbors about other problems involving these dogs.
But Chague said if there were other issues, they were never reported to the police.
"I have no documentation," he said.
If Pollack and Rohde dispute the chief's order, the case would go to Central Berkshire District Court for review by a judge or clerk magistrate.
If the chief's order is upheld, the dogs would be "restrained, removed or disposed of as necessary," which could consist of a plan other than euthanasia. But Captain Mullin said the animals would likely have "limited shelter options" because of the vicious animal designation.
If the owners failed to abide by the order, they could be punished by a fine of up to $25 for the first offense and $100 for a second or subsequent offense, or by imprisonment of up to 30 days for the first offense, and 60 days for a second or subsequent offense, or both.
The investigation into the attack is still ongoing, Mullin said.
Anthony Petell said he would like to see the law changed to allow for criminal prosecution in cases like this.
This isn't Pollack's first issue with pet ownership. In 2007, he was charged with multiple felony counts, including assault to rape, in connection with a domestic incident that allegedly ended when he was attacked by his pit bull terrier.
"You guys better shoot that dog or I will," he allegedly told the police at the time.
A Pittsfield Police officer shot the dog four times, killing it.
The charges against Pollack were later dismissed at the request of the alleged victim.

But something that still really annoys me is the use of "sharing" from some people in central functions and how these people seem to use "sharing" every chance they get as a substitute for "receiving" or "giving", or even worse, as a substitute for "reporting". Let me give you some examples of how usage of "sharing" can annoy me.
Improper use of "sharing" – real life examples
Case 1.
Mr. Salaryman forwards an e-mail to someone and gets an e-mail back saying "thank you for sharing this information" instead of "thank you for the information" or "thank you for sending me this information".
Case 2.
Mr. Salaryman receives an e-mail or call from someone asking for some information "can you share this information with marketing?" instead of "can you send this information to marketing" or even "send this info to marketing".
But just so you won't think that I'm just complaining, I think I'd probably give you an example of what I consider proper and relevant use of "share" with you as well.
Proper use of "sharing" – real life examples
Marting: (Outside a work setting) "Hey, Salaryman, do you wanna share this Kit Kat bar with me?"
Mr. Salaryman: "Sure"

Hand Carved, Live Edge Sinker Cypress Platter

Add To Cart
Dimensions (L x W): 12 x 13 inches
Based in Meggett, South Carolina, Born Again Heartwoods is dedicated to giving life to sinker logs once lost to the untamed bottomland swamps and rivers by early South Carolinians. Sinker logs are known by several names such as deadheads, old growth, and virgin growth. These sinker logs emerge from their dark, muddy tombs with an unmatched strength and beauty lost to timber today due to modern cultivation. By recovering these sinker logs, Born Again Heartwoods gives birth to a variety of virgin cypress, longleaf heart pine, and other heartwood products which are a GREEN resource. South Carolina was once the home of some of the largest old growth virgin bald cypress trees in the country, just over a hundred years ago. Men like Francis Beidler could see the value in what was considered worthless bottomland swamp. Between the end of the Civil War and World War I, the southeast United States virgin bottom land forest were cleared at an alarming rate. Virgin forest were once the homes of huge cypress, black tupelo, black oaks, longleaf heart pine, shortleaf heart pine, black walnut, willows, sweet gum, green ash, and so much more. Today modern cultivation has left our lands covered with southern yellow pine which grows to saw-log size in under 50 years. Thanks to Mr. Beidler, a small plot of virgin bottomland forest still exists as the Congaree National Park where huge old-growth cypress and virgin longleaf pine can still be found.

On Sunday, Angels pitcher Jered Weaver hit the deck to avoid a liner up the middle. He immediate came up holding his left, non-throwing arm, and left the game. Today comes word that he fractured his elbow, and will miss 4-6 weeks.
"I tried to catch myself and saw the ball coming at me. I didn't land right on it. Definitely, hyperextended it or something," Weaver said Sunday. "I kind of landed on my glove and I pushed to get out of the way. I landed in an awkward position."
This obviously sucks for Weaver and for the Angels, but we have to ask the question: is this injury funny or sad?
Baseball history is littered with weird injuries that seem to disproportionately affect pitchers. Denny McLain dislocated four toes while sleeping. Charlie Hough broke his pinky during a handshake. Steve Sparks dislocated a shoulder trying to tear a phone book in half. Tom Glavine strained a rib while vomiting. John Smoltz ironed a shirt he was wearing. Joba Chamberlain dislocated his ankle on a trampoline. Gio Gonzalez got rug burn while playing with his French Bulldog.
Even the players themselves often laugh about it after the fact. But Weaver's injury doesn't fit neatly into that gee, isn't baseball dopey? category. It actually occurred on a mound. It's a pitching injury. While it wasn't strictly demanded by the play, it wasn't incidental either.
Weaver's reaction touches on safety issues. He did exactly what pitchers are taught to do on lined comebackers—get out of the ball's way. We often see pitchers reflexively reach out with their bare hands, a situation that can only go bad. Just last week, Hiroki Kuroda banged up a finger. And then there are the shots to the head. Sometimes they're only scary, sometimes they're serious.
Weaver's first instinct was self-preservation, and that's a good thing. Yet it was that, with an assist from the fluky angles of the human frame, that will have him on the DL for the next month or so.

U.S. poised to slurp up more of Canada's dirtiest oil
WASHINGTON — At the climate talks under way at the Mexican beach resort of Cancun, the U.S. has assured the world it's not backing away from its pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, however, the State Department looks likely to approve a pipeline that would increase the use of one of the dirtiest forms of oil.
That oil would flow from Canada's oil sands in Alberta, where the northern forest is cut so that giant trucks can scrape up black sand containing bitumen, an extra-heavy crude. The Environmental Protection Agency figures that that bitumen requires so much energy to extract and refine that it produces 82 percent more greenhouse gas emissions than average U.S. crude from the time it's mined until it ends up in a car's gasoline tank.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in October that she was inclined to approve the pipeline, known as Keystone XL. The $7 billion line would be a major expansion. The Bush administration approved two other Keystone segments.
The new pipeline would bring oil sands crude from Alberta through Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, where it would end up in terminals on the Gulf Coast.
Environmentalists have opposed the oil sands for many reasons — air and water pollution, health risks to people living downstream, and the loss of wetlands and forest. Another key objection is that the oil sands expansion results in an increase of heat-trapping emissions at a time when the world is trying to reduce them.
"It's really a decision that runs counter to the U.S. building any trust here," said National Wildlife Federation attorney Joe Mendelson in Cancun. The negotiations among 193 nations end Friday.
Nations agreed last year to try to keep average global temperature from rising more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists say that beyond this amount of warming, the risk of catastrophic results is too high. The U.S. last year pledged to cut emissions by 17 percent by 2020 to get on the path of steeper cuts the world will need by 2050. Negotiator Todd Stern reaffirmed the pledge last week.
Still, the legislation that promised to get that level of reductions has died in the Senate. Attention has turned to what the executive branch can do. Environmental groups say the Obama administration shouldn't take any actions that would undermine efforts to reduce emissions.
The National Wildlife Federation, in a report last week, noted that the EPA calculated that if the Keystone XL pipeline is built and carries its maximum volume of 900,000 barrels per day, the result would be an increase of 27 million metric tons of greenhouse gases per year. That increase is the extra emissions compared with U.S. average crude oil.
It's a sizeable amount — the equivalent of seven coal-fired power plants.
It's also more than the amount of emissions reductions the EPA expects it would get per year if its newly proposed rule for light and medium trucks goes into effect.
"If the Keystone XL pipeline is approved, the U.S. will be moving simultaneously to reduce the direct emissions from its vehicle sector only to wipe out much of those gains by locking the country into the use of higher carbon fuels in the same vehicles," the NWF report said.
Other environmental groups said approval would send the wrong message to China and other countries about the U.S. commitment to cutting emissions.
TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said the company is ready to start construction as soon as it gets the permit. The State Department has told the company it should make the decision before the middle of next year, he said.
Canada is America's No. 1 source of imported oil. The Department of Energy's data show that the oil sands account for about half of Canada's oil production and are expected to grow as conventional production declines.
The EPA, in a letter last summer to the State Department about Keystone XL, urged the State Department to take other possible future trends into account when it decides whether the pipeline is needed, including the use of fuel-efficient technologies, advanced biofuels and electric vehicles.
The American Petroleum Institute announced Wednesday that it would launch an ad campaign in January in support of oil sands development.
"We want people to encourage their policymakers to make the right decisions on Canadian oil sands," said Cindy Schild, the refining issues manager at the oil industry group. She said Keystone XL is "a huge, huge deal for what this country needs right now."
Schild also noted that some members of Congress raised objections to Keystone XL. Eleven senators wrote to Clinton in October, asking her to carefully examine the needs for the oil and its impact on U.S. climate and environmental goals.
Schild and many analysts predict that Americans will continue to use oil for decades, because it's cheaper than alternatives are.
"Americans will continue to consume a lot of oil, and oil sands have the potential to supply much of what we will need while also creating many new U.S. jobs," Schild said. "Renewables cannot and will not replace oil or oil imports for decades, if ever."
Environmentalists argue that electric vehicles and sustainable biofuels aren't so far off, and that greater fuel efficiency and less driving would reduce demand for oil.
Canada has so much oil in sands that it ranks second to Saudi Arabia in proven reserves. Pipelines already in place bring oil sands crude into the U.S. Some Midwest refineries run entirely on oil sands crude.
Keystone started operating the first phase of its pipeline system in June. That segment brings crude oil to the Midwest from Canada. A second segment, from Nebraska to Oklahoma, is under construction.
API also argued in a press conference that Canada would ship the oil to Asia if the U.S. doesn't buy it. So far, however, there's no pipeline to Canada's west coast ports. The U.S. is the main customer.

From Ergo-Log
The best post-workout shake doesn't just contain easily digested proteins like whey and soya protein. Strength athletes will get more out their training session if they drink a protein shake that contains fast and slow proteins, such as casein. Nutritional scientist at the University of Texas at Galveston will publish an article soon on the subject in the Journal of Nutrition.
The researchers got 19 subjects early in their twenties to train their legs on a leg extension machine, doing 8 sets of 10 reps. For the first three sets the subjects used weights at 55, 60 and 65 percent of the weight with which they could just manage 1 rep [the 1RM], for the remaining five sets they used weights at 70 percent of their 1RM.
The researchers took samples of muscle fibre from the subjects' thigh muscles just before the workout and again four hours after they had finished the workout. They measured the fractional synthetic rate [FSR] – the rate at which muscle fibre protein is produced – in the samples. The researchers also measured the concentration of substances including phenylalanine [an amino acid] and the BCAAs in the subjects' blood.
Consuming whey resulted in a fast and pronounced peak in the amino acid level. Consuming the mixture resulted in a less pronounced peak, but the increase in the level of amino acids lasted longer than it did when only whey was consumed.
That's not so surprising. Casein is a 'slow protein', which is digested slowly and its amino acids only appear in the blood gradually and after a considerable amount of time. Whey is a 'fast protein' that is digested quickly and therefore causes a pronounced amino acid peak. Soya protein is also a fast protein, although it's a little slower than whey.
The protein blend resulted in a stronger increase in muscle fibre protein synthesis than the whey-only protein, the figure above shows.
"Our data and that of others further support the use of a blended protein supplement following resistance exercise compared with an isolated protein", the Texans write in their concluding paragraph. "A blended protein supplement containing sufficient essential amino acid content, several digestion rates, and a prolonged aminoacidemia clearly promotes muscle protein synthesis during postexercise recovery."
The study was partly financed by the soya-giant Solae, and partly by the US government.

2012 AIA/ACSA Topaz Medallion
The AIA/ACSA Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education is awarded jointly by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) to an individual, who must be living at the time of nomination, who has spent at least a decade primarily involved in architectural education, and whose primary contribution to architectural education has been on the North American continent.
Baird is often credited with having helped a new generation of architects find a place at the intersection of architectural form and urban function. He did this by engaging disciplines beyond architecture and fearlessly exploring the political implications of city-making to articulate architects' social responsibilities. Baird's deep influence is evident in cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, but also through his prolific writing career and the many students inspired by his example who have gone on to teach and practice. + Learn More

I guess LeBron James was on something of a mission last season. He not only helped the Miami Heat to their second World Championship, he also turned in one of the great regular seasons of all time.
Click Here to view the Miami Heat Win Chart
Click Here for a full explanation of every column in each Win Chart
1. All the Way with LBJ
I have not concluded all of my Marginal Win Score calculations for the truncated season, but LBJ will certainly be the MVP in this corner of the world, just as he is in every other sane corner of the world. I don't think anyone else will come within 5 games of his VALUE rating. He was magnificent. At one point in the season, he was outproducing 1967-68 Wilt Chamberlain, which was stunning, but he could not keep it up. Nevertheless, he had a season for the ages.
2. Wade righted himself
Halfway through the season, Dwyane Wade was underproducing. He certainly righted himself by the end and had a highly productive year. The only reason his VALUE rating isn't higher is because he did was injured and unavailable for a lot of the season. Otherwise, his Marginal Win Score was right about where it always has been.
3. Bosh has a mediocre season
Lucky LeBron carried so much weight this season, because the third member of the supposed Big 3, Chris Bosh, had a very mediocre season. His Personal Winning Percentage was well down from last season. The team needs him though, and appears to be better with him, because it is so thin in talent. But, he just wasn't that valuable in an abstract sense.
4. Junior Members need some love
Two guys who were actually more valuable than Bosh were fellow big man Udonis Haslem, and the much maligned PG Mario Chalmers. Each of those two had pretty productive seasons. They don't seem to get much credit, however. In fact, Chalmers seems like the guy the Big 3 love to abuse. Nevertheless, the Heat don't win a championship without his work, and without the stellar work produced by Mr. Haslem.
5. Two decent small forwards
The Heat also got decent play from the two veteran SFs Mike Miller and Shane Battier. Each guy has produced better numbers in the past, but when you combine the two, they made a pretty nice contribution to the Heat.
6. Garbage Depth
Its great to have such magnificence at the top of your roster, because the Heat had absolute garbage for depth. Joel Anthony has never been any good. I have no idea how Juwan Howard managed to be the last surviving member of the Fab 5, because he hasn't been productive this century, and newcomer PG Norris Cole, who actually had promising numbers coming out of college, was dreadful — he actually produced negative wins. But, as I said, when you have two NBA All-Time All-Timers at the top of your roster, you're always going to have a look at an NBA championship, and that has certainly been the case for the Heat.

Q: Is it really necessary to have my dog spayed? What s wrong with just keeping her away from other dogs when she is in heat if I dont want to breed her?
By Claudia Bowman
While avoiding unwanted pregnancies and adding to the number of unwanted pets that are killed every year is an important reason to spay your dog, it isnt the only reason. There are significant health benefits for your dog that simply avoiding breeding will not deliver.
First of all, lets review a little about your dogs reproductive cycle. The dog has what is called an estrus cycle or commonly, a heat cycle. The dogs estrus cycle is different from the monthly cycle of human females. The estrus cycle is made up of blocks of time where the female is receptive to the male and can get pregnant and blocks of time where she is not receptive and cannot get pregnant. These blocks of time where she can get pregnant occur a couple of times yearly on average. It does occur more frequently in some dogs and less in other dogs. This is the period where she is said to be in heat.
The female dog goes into heat for the first time at about 6 months old on average, or when she reaches about 80% of her full growth. Giant breeds can take longer and some dogs will go into heat sooner. Heat means she is menstruating and a spay procedure is an ovariohysterectomy.
If she is spayed before her first heat, it will dramatically decrease her risk of mammary cancer later in life. Mammary cancer is a common cancer in dogs. Studies have shown that the risk decreases by 80% if she is spayed before that first heat.
Female dogs that are not spayed will continue to cycle and go into heat, of course. The lining of the uterus is not shed in dogs if pregnancy is not achieved the way it is in humans. That lining is exposed to repeated cycles of hormones and can become abnormal over time. It is a risk factor for a severe infection of the uterus called pyometra. This infection is often life threatening. Emergency surgery to remove the infected uterus is usually necessary and is very expensive. Depending on where you live it can cost several thousand dollars by the time she leaves the hospital. Having her spayed while she is young and healthy is far less risky and expensive.
Accidents happen. Doors are left open. Male dogs jump fences. This is often how unwanted pregnancies occur in dogs. If she has difficulty giving birth, she could require an emergency C section to save her life. This is also very expensive.
So think about getting your dog spayed for her health and your relationship. You want her to have a long happy life with as few complications and expense as possible.

A urinary tract infection, also called UTI, refers to a bacterial infection of the
bladder ("cystitis") or the kidneys ("pyelonephritis").
A urinary tract infection is caused by bacteria that get into the bladder from the
skin surface surrounding the urethra (the opening that urine comes out of). Because
of the proximity of the urethra to the colon, organisms like E. coli are common
causes of UTI.
Once the bacteria get into the bladder, they can grow in the urine, especially if
the child does not empty the bladder frequently, or if there are structural abnormalities
of the urinary tract. If the infection of the bladder is not recognized and treated,
it can move up the ureters (the tubes that connect the bladder to the kidney) and
cause an infection of the kidneys.
In the newborn period, both boys and girls get UTI. Boys seem to be at an increased
risk if they are uncircumcised with a tight foreskin. Thereafter, UTI is much more
common in girls, presumably because they have shorter urethras, leading to more
frequent bacterial contamination of the bladder. In girls, itching caused by pinworms,
sitting in bathwater for an extended time period, bubble bath, wiping from back
to front, and sexual activity increase the likelihood of such bacterial contamination,
and thereby increase the risk of UTI. In addition, the bacteria more readily cause
infection in those girls who urinate infrequently or incompletely.
The symptoms of a urinary tract infection are dependent upon the age of the child.
In older children and adults, the symptoms may include a fever and back pain (i.e.,
a kidney infection), or increased frequency, urgency, or burning on urination (i.e.,
a bladder infection). Younger children may have enuresis (bed or clothes wetting)
or strong smelling urine. Babies and infants often have less specific symptoms,
such as a fever, poor feeding, and/or failure to gain weight.
Most importantly, a urine specimen must be analyzed to diagnose UTI. The way the
specimen is obtained is critical to interpretation. When the child is sick, it is
recommended to get a urine specimen by catheter (inserting a thin tube up the urethra
into the bladder). Especially in younger children, bag urines, or those obtained
by having the child urinate into a cup, often are contaminated, and may confuse
the correct diagnosis.
"Clean catch" urine specimens may be useful in boys and older girls who do not have
a fever, if obtained by a health professional. The urine should be analyzed immediately
or held in the refrigerator. A preliminary "urine analysis" can be performed by
dipping a special test strip into the urine; however, it also should be cultured.
These results take 24 to 48 hours. Treatment may be started based on the urine analysis.
Oral antibiotics, taken for 10 to 14 days, are very effective in the treatment of
UTI. Antibiotics can be given at home, unless the child is very young, vomiting,
and/or very sick. Once the culture result is known, antibiotics may be changed.
Fluids should be encouraged to promote urine flow.
Often, physicians will obtain imaging (e.g., x-rays, ultrasound, or scanning) of
the urinary tract in children with UTI. This imaging may help to determine which
children require a closer follow-up, or need to see the urologist (a surgeon who
specializes in diseases of the urinary tract). Most children with UTI can be cared
for very effectively by the primary physician.
The bacteria that cause a urinary tract infection rarely enter into the bloodstream
("sepsis"). Recurrent kidney infections may cause scarring of the kidneys. However,
these complications are more common in children who have significant structural
abnormalities of the urinary tract.
Preventive measures are useful to reduce the recurrence of UTI. Children should
be treated for pinworms or constipation, if determined to be present, by a primary
physician. Girls should take showers rather than baths, and be taught to wipe from
the front to the back (to decrease fecal contamination). Little girls often tend
to "hold" their urine, which should be actively discouraged. All children should
be encouraged to drink fluids frequently and to urinate every three to four hours
(an alarm watch and/or a discussion with the child's teacher often helps).
The primary physician may suggest follow-up appointments for urine testing, or home
follow-up using urine testing strips and urine specimens collected first thing in
the morning. Any child with a positive home test (if done) or the symptoms of UTI
should see a physician. Some children (especially the very young, those with complications,
and those with recurrences) may be put on long-term antibiotic therapy to prevent
recurrent infections, but this may result in the development of more resistant organisms.
Current research is focused on better ways to treat and prevent UTI at home. Physicians
also are trying to identify how imaging tests can better guide the management of
