Catholic Legal Theory Scaperlanda: The Catholic legal theorist should act prudently and with charity, but the exercise of these virtues does not require strict separation of God-talk from law-talk. Scaperlanda: Catholic legal theory is an ongoing project of Catholic law professors, legal philosophers and others to participate in drawing on the Catholic intellectual tradition to build a culture that values the dignity of the human person, sees the community as indispensable for human flourishing, and seeks authentic freedom for the person within the community. Since, as St. Paul says in Romans 2:15, every person has the law written on their heart, a Catholic legal theorist can rely on the use of natural law to reason together with non-Christians on how society's laws and legal systems ought to be structured for the good of the person. www.ewtn.com /library/Academic/ZLEGALTH.HTM

Pillow talk According to Charles Panati in "Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things," pillows could be found in the royal palaces at Sumer about 3500 B.C. While the palaces’ single bedrooms were reserved for the head of the household, pillows were supplied to everyone. Pillows, however, should be used to reinforce the natural curve of the neck, a curve that often flattens out with time or trauma. This pillow is considered an orthopedic device and is fitted to the individual by a chiropractor. www.gazettearchives.com /health2002/_disc4/000001be.htm   (665 words)

DVD Talk Forum - Cooperstown not the home of baseball? Historian John Thorn was doing research on the origins of baseball when he found a reference to the bylaw in an 1869 book on Pittsfield's history. The long-accepted story of baseball's origins centers around Cooperstown, N.Y., where Doubleday is said to have come up with the rules for the modern game.

Developmental Psychology It's a subject she likens to infant physics": Babies appear surprised, for instance, when a ball begins to roll for no visible reason, but unimpressed when people cause others to move simply by pointing or talking. As a result, Woodward says, "I'm less interested in the naming explosion now." She's currently using her Beecher Hall laboratory where video equipment shares space with a basket of toys, and colorful paper shapes and posters decorate the walls to test younger infants, pushing back to the origins of language ability. IT'S challenge enough for adults, but imagine how babies fare, when the very idea of "meaning" that words are symbols for objects or ideas in the world is a major discovery. www.ccp.uchicago.edu /overview/developmental/amanda.chronicle.html   (9153 words)

The Irish Herald: Top Stories 3 Swan also feels the origins of Irish music are a key component of its sound. Black will also talk about the disputed origin of 'going on the wren.'

Anarchism: Arguments for and against -- by Albert Meltzer Anarchism, said Marx, was the movement of the artisan worker -- that is to say, the self-employed craftsman with some leisure to think and talk, not subject to factory hours and discipline, independently-minded and difficult to threaten, not backward like the peasantry. Anarchism is neither a mindless theory of destruction nor, despite some liberal-minded literary conceptions, is it hero-worship of people or institutions, however liberated they might be. On the contrary: had anarchism been victorious in any period before 1914, it would have been a triumph for the poorer peasants and artisans, rather than among the industrial proletariat amongst whom the concept of anarchy was not widespread. www.spunk.org /library/writers/meltzer/sp001500.html   (469 words)

Sathyam Shivam Sundaram - The Life of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Baba saw through this exhibitionist asceticism; he requested him either to retire into the forest for Sadhana (He assured him that he would ensure him food and shelter even there) and save his devotees the ignominy and the burden; or, to resume talk and clothes, which are not handicaps to spiritual effort. Baba recognised that the pundits must grow experienced in the art of explaining the essentials of the scriptural teachings to the masses in small easily assimilable doses that are relishing; He warned that, unless the Pundits took care to practise what they preached, their discourses would be exercises in sheer hypocrisy. Baba mentioned that the citizens of Rajahmundry on the Godavari were hoping that the meeting would be held in their town, since the Sabha was resolved upon 'on the sands of an island in the centre of the Godavari on Sri Ramanavami, last year'. www.saibaba.ws /avatar/sss/sss2.htm   (17840 words)

The Official Graham Hancock Website: Book Reviews He is the author of the talk-origins "FAQ" on human origins, which is as badly-researched and bogus as the rest of the talk-origins "FAQs" [more information available here]. Zuckermann concluded that Australopithecines such as Lucy were ape-like and not human-like on three scientific grounds: That Lucy's head was balanced on the spine like an ape's, not like a human's; that her brain was the same size as modern ape's, like a gorilla; and that her jaws and teeth are predominantly ape-like, not human-like. For example, the work of zoologist Solly Zuckermann, has long been a thorn in the side of Darwinists because Zuckermann conducted a study which concluded that Australopithecines (like 'Lucy') were predominantly ape-like and not human-like creatures and thus not ancestral to humans. www.grahamhancock.com /library/review001_brass.php   (421 words)
