...others point to women who have formed separatist "Women-Church" worship, a New Age blend of feminist, ecological, neopagan and Christian elements. One book offers liturgies to celebrate the coming-out of lesbians, teenagers' first menstrual period and cycles of the moon. In an Ash Wednesday rite, women repent not of their own sins but of the sins the church commits | against women. Last month, 30 members of Chicago Catholic Women gathered to chant, "I am a woman giving birth to myself; bless what I bring forth," and then shared eucharistic bread and wine -- without once uttering the name...
...evidence centers on sea-plankton remains found in the Transantarctic Mountains at altitudes where no sea should have been. By measuring the age of nearby volcanic ash, a team led by Peter Barrett at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, concluded that the whole area was probably flooded during the mid-Pliocene epoch -- when temperatures were only a few degrees warmer than today...
Giving scientists only half an hour of warning, Mount Spurr, 130 km (80 miles) west of Anchorage, erupted violently on Tuesday afternoon, sending a plume of ash 16 km (10 miles) into the air.

Cars and planes were stopped to protect engines from the abrasive grit, and people -- especially those with respiratory ailments -- were advised to stay indoors until the next morning...
...apprenticeship to Henri. He soon developed a tough, pragmatic repertoire based on realist drawing and tonal composition. He was by far the most gifted younger member of the Ashcan School, a loose group that included John Sloan, George Luks and William Glackens.

"We're trying to make runners and jumpers, not body builders," says Dave Ash, weight-training coach at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. One technique is to do many repetitions at low resistance, which takes longer to increase strength but vastly improves endurance. As part of her pre-Olympic regimen, Jamaican long jumper Diane Guthrie has been doing 250 leg curls every day wearing 10-lb. ankle weights. The 20-year-old Guthrie, who trained at George Mason, notes that when she slacked off onweight training, she hurt...
