Presents a study tracing the historical and theological
developments that produced official statements by the Roman
Catholic Church about its own teaching authority and the assent
owed to it, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. The text
begins by examining the term ordinary magisterium.
Collection of four classic film dramas starring Elizabeth Taylor.
In 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' (1966), adapted from Edward
Albee's controversial stage play, George (Richard Burton) is a
foul-mouthed, drunken university professor married for two decades
to the equally foul-mouthed, drunken Martha (Taylor), whose father
is the president of George's college. When younger married couple
Nick (George Segal) and Honey (Sandy Dennis) are invited round for
a nightcap, they witness a marathon of bickering and verbal abuse.
The film won five Oscars, including Best Actress for Elizabeth
Taylor and Best Supporting Actress for Sandy Dennis. 'Cat On a Hot
Tin Roof' (1958), based on the Tennesse Williams play, follows the
events which transpire one long, hot Southern evening when the
family of plantation patriarch Big Daddy (Burl Ives) gathers to
celebrate his birthday. Both of the big man's sons are there for
the party, but only one of them - Gooper (Jack Carson) - is keen to
inherit the family fortune; the other, Brick (Paul Newman), a
former high school athlete who now drinks constantly and refuses to
sleep with his wife, Maggie (Taylor), couldn't care less.
Nevertheless, Maggie would like to see some of the money, believing
that it might offer some recompense for the coldness of her
marriage, and Big Mama (Judith Anderson), the boys' mother, has
always favoured Brick out of the two. As the night wears on, the
temperature rises, skeletons emerge from closets, and the family
tensions get closer and closer to breaking point. 'Giant' (1956)
follows Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson), a Texas cattle baron who takes
a non-Texan wife, Leslie (Taylor). The story traces two generations
of his family, alongside the life of disreputable ranch-hand Jett
Rink (James Dean), who strikes it rich on an oil well and falls in
love with Leslie. Director George Stevens won an Oscar for his
work, and the film garnered nine more nominations, including one
for James Dean, who was killed in a car crash soon after filming.
In 'Lassie Come Home' (1943) the Carraclough family are struggling
financially and have no choice but to sell their pet collie,
Lassie. Her new owner's granddaughter, Priscilla (Taylor), realises
how unhappy Lassie is away from her family and helps her to escape
so she can begin her long journey home.
Singin' in the Rain (1952)
Set in 1927, Don Lockwood (Kelly) has worked his way up from being a song-and-dance man with partner Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor) to become a top movie star. His on-screen partner, Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), who believes that Don loves her for real, needs to have her awful singing voice dubbed with the arrival of
talkies. The girl selected is 'serious' actress Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), for whom Don soon falls. Musical numbers include the famous title song, as well as 'Make 'Em Laugh', 'Good Morning' and 'You Were Meant for Me'.
An American in Paris (1951)
American G.I. Jerry Mulligan (Kelly) has remained in Paris after the war to become a painter. There he falls in love with Lise Bouvier (Leslie Caron), only to discover that she is engaged to his friend, Henri Baurel (Georges Guetary). With music and songs by George and Ira Gershwin, including 'I Got Rhythm' and 'Embraceable
You', the film went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Anchors Aweigh (1945)
Kelly and Frank Sinatra star as two sailors looking for female companionship while on a four-day pass in Los Angeles. They meet a Hollywood extra (Kathryn Grayson) and try to help her realise her dream of being a star. The film features a famous sequence where Kelly dances with Jerry, the cartoon mouse of 'Tom and Jerry' fame.
On the Town (1949)
Three sailors (Kelly, Sinatra and Jules Munshin) hit New York City for a 24-hour shore leave. The first order of business is to find some women to spend it with and the boys hook up with Ivy (Vera-Ellen), an aspiring dancer, Hildy (Betty Garrett), a lady cab-driver, and Claire (Ann Miller), a paleontology student, causing mayhem across Manhattan. This was the first musical to make extensive use of location shooting rather than studio bound sets and includes the song-and-dance numbers 'New York, New York' and 'Miss Turnstiles Ballet'.
If, as Buddhism claims, the potential for awakening exists in all
human beings, we should be able to map the phenomenon with the same
science we apply to other forms of consciousness. A student of
cognitive social science and a Zen practitioner for more than forty
years, Richard P. Boyle brings his sophisticated perspective to
bear on the development of a theoretical model for both ordinary
and awakened consciousness. Boyle conducts probing interviews with
eleven prominent Western Buddhist teachers (Shinzen Young, John
Tarrant, Ken McLeod, Ajahn Amaro, Martine Batchelor, Shaila
Catherine, Gil Fronsdal, Stephen Batchelor, Pat Enkyo O'Hara,
Bernie Glassman, and Joseph Goldstein) and one scientist (James
Austin) who have experienced awakening. From the paths they
traveled to enlightenment and their descriptions of the experience,
he derives three fundamental properties of awakened consciousness.
He then constructs an overarching model that explains how Buddhist
practices help free the mind from attachments to reality and the
self and make possible the three properties of awakening.
Specifically, these teachers describe how they worked to control
attention and quiet the mind, detach from ideas and habits, and
open themselves to compassion. Boyle's account incorporates current
theories of consciousness, sociological insights, and research in
neuroscience to advance the study of awakened consciousness and
help an even greater number of people to realize it.

In the seven years since the publication of his first book,
Functional Training for Sports, new understanding of functional
anatomy created a shift in strength coaching. With this new
material, Coach Boyle presents the continued evolution of
functional training as seen by a leader in the strength and
conditioning field. After an introduction into his new thinking,
Michael uses ten basic sections to present everything a strength
coach or personal trainer needs to understand modern training
theory, beginning with his joint-by-joint approach to training,
along with details of his use of Gray Cook and Lee Burton's
Functional Movement Screen. Next he discusses injury avoidance,
treatment, rehab and training after injury. Then he updates the
reader on the current thinking in core training, back pain, and on
how the hip musculature works, and how it fails. We learn his
philosophy on cardiovascular training, and see what has worked for
the athletes training in his facility. In the second half of the
book, Michael shifts to training strategies, including which
exercises he uses today and which he's discarded, what equipment
and tools are in use on his gym floor, how he develops speed, and,
of course, there's a large section on his now-famous single-leg
training. Finally, we get to program design, where he puts the
entire package together to mesh theory with daily reality. He'll
teach you the basic objectives of a sound program, and then over
the course of 32 pages, he'll show you exactly which programs he
uses in a variety of client and athletic circumstances.
Since the beginning of this century, "clusters" of certain forms of
cancer--particularly leukemia in children and Hodgkin's
disease--have been reported around locations of specific
environmental hazards. Identification of such clusters is not an
easy task, since there is no exact definition of what a cluster is.
This monograph describes the variety of statististical techniques
cuurently in use, and their application to simulated data-sets
chosen to represent a range of clustering scenarios. The scientists
who developed these techniques were invited to apply their
methodology to these data-sets and to share their conclusions in
this volume. In addition, these researchers describe in complete
detail how they proceeded with the analysis, since an element of
subjectivity figures prominently in the application and
interpretation of some of these methods. The identification and
analysis of disease clusters can yield significant clues in
epidemiologic research, and as such will continue to be an
important subject of cancer research and epidemiology for the
foreseeable future.
