Why Deep Evacuation Is Not a Checkbox. It is System Protection
NewsRefrigerationGuest ColumnRefrigerants PREVENTATIVE MEASURE: As HVACR systems become more efficient and moisture-sensitive, proper evacuation is increasingly important to preventing contamination, callbacks, and premature failures. In an industry focused on smarter controls, higher efficiency ratings, and ever-evolving refrigerants, one of the most critical steps in system installation has not changed. It is still evacuation.
Adapting Healthcare Payments While Facing Financial Pressure and Economic Uncertainty
Healthcare providers are facing an unprecedented convergence of financial pressure: rising uncompensated care, shifting coverage dynamics, and escalating administrative costs continue to erode already thin margins. For healthcare organizations, a few key trends are driving this pressure. Shifting public policies are driving coverage losses.

LTE: Support for Jeff Doyle
I strongly support my brother’s candidacy for the Hopkinton Town Select Board. Our family’s roots in Hopkinton run deep, going back to our great-grandfather, and this town has always been more than just a place to live. It’s where we’ve grown up, built friendships, and returned as adults to raise our own young families. We feel lucky to call this place home, and we’re invested in keeping it strong for today and the next generation.
Falmouth Yacht Club: Stunning Day On Vineyard Sound
Labor Day weekend racing at the Falmouth Yacht Club did not disappoint! Our sailors were treated to some of the best conditions of the summer on Saturday, August 31. With a fresh breeze from the southeast that dropped in velocity from 13 knots to 9 knots as the day went on, all the Sonars performed magnificently in these truly “Goldilocks” conditions. The race committee, led by former Commodore Bob Silva, established a well laid course with a small, fair starting line.
Longer-term Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19 in the REMAP-CAP Trial
Clinical question: What is the longer-term (180-day) mortality effect of common therapies on critically ill patients with COVID-19? Background: Most randomized clinical trials for patients with COVID-19 focus on short-term outcomes such as 28-day mortality or organ failure. Trials evaluating longer-term outcomes of therapeutic interventions are needed.
The Synod needs more parents
Loading... Click here if you don’t see subscription options Over the past two years, many questions have been asked regarding the participants of the ongoing Synod on Synodality. The degree of inclusivity—so much greater than in past church deliberations—has excited many Catholics, myself among them, who finally see some recognition of the Holy Spirit’s work through laypeople, especially women.
Mary Jo Tully, first laywoman chancellor of a US diocese, dies at 86
The first laywoman chancellor of a U.S. diocese — who also made a meaningful but unattributed contribution to the creation of the official Catechism of the Catholic Church — died Jan. 27. In 1989, then-Archbishop William Levada named Mary Jo Tully chancellor for the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon, where she would serve for 27 years before retiring in 2016.

Last Saturday found the sailors of the Falmouth Yacht Club competing for the prestigious Leland Cup. A Labor Day weekend tradition, the prize is named after the late Dr. Katherine Leland.

‘A cartoonist who wants Facebook Likes should turn in his badge’
This week is a milestone for MercatorNet – and for Brian Doyle, our cartoonist. This is his 100th cartoon. To mark the occasion, we asked him to explain his craft for our readers. * * * * * * * * * Have you always been a cartoonist? The moment I picked up a pencil over 70 years ago I was hooked. Dad was a journalist who brought home the old Aussie Bulletin every week to show me the cartoons, which of course I didn’t understand butI loved the funny way they were drawn.
Selected Poems | By Brian Doyle | Issue 416 | The Sun Magazine
A Corner Of The Cloak You know how everything seems normal and usual and orthodox But actually everything, if you look at it closely with all four eyes, Is utterly confusing and puzzling and mysterious and astonishing?
A Failure of Craft
When I was young, arguably too young, I was besotted with the New Journalism of Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, Norman Mailer, et al… At some point around eighth or ninth grade I pulled The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby, a collection of Tom Wolfe’s pieces which originally appeared in Esquire, from my parents’ bookshelf and started reading.
Brian Doyle's novel 'Cat's Foot' is a remarkable adventure in reading
An obvious labor of love by Brian Doyle, one of America's best Catholic writers, Cat's Foot is a novel about finding the sacred in the ordinary, forging a sense of wonder through minute exquisite details, and facing the truths and cruelty of war. In watching Cat search for his foot, which was lost in a meaningless war many years before, the reader recognizes parallels to what it means to lose parts of one's own soul and then go off on a quixotic search for it.
Joseph de Maistre’s magnum opus is still perplexing after 200 years
In 1990, as communist governments fell, political philosopher Isaiah Berlin published a 91-page trio of essays in the New York Review of Books examining the “terrifying prophet of our own day” whose works contained “the earliest notes of the militant antirational fascism” and “the heart of the totalitarianisms, both of the left and of the right, of our terrible century.” For Berlin, this evil genius of modernity was not Nietzsche, Hegel, or Marx.
Cat's Foot
What if a man who lost his foot in a war decides, many years later, to find it? "It was a good foot, and we parted so hurriedly I never had a chance to really think about it as a foot, so off I went..." So begins this lean little novel a quest, a wandering, a contemplation of the immense foolishness of war. Terse but filled with adventure and wonder, Cat s Foot is surely the most unusual fiction you will read this year or perhaps any year...
NCR readers' favorite Catholic novels
There were a lot of things we couldn't do during the pandemic, but reading was not one of them. By several metrics, Americans read more during 2020-21: More print, ebook and audiobooks were sold, and nearly 60% of respondents said they read more, according to one survey. I am one of them.
My favorite Catholic novels, past and present: What are yours?
I blame the Great Basement Cleanout of 2020-21 for the sacrifice of my extensive Andrew Greeley novel collection. The literary output of the late Chicago priest, sociologist and best-selling novelist — who was rumored to have never had an unpublished thought — was taking up a lot of real estate on a bookshelf that needed clearing out to make way for what we hope will become a new lower-level family room.
Mellon Udrigle, Wester Ross, Scotland
Picture Story Taken on the small beach of Mellon Udrigle in Wester Ross in Scotland. I had taken my camper van to the campsite on the beach the night before for a 4 am rise the in order to hopefully catch some dawn colour. This beach is relatively small but the vista from it is almost unrivalled in Scotland.

Sensualiterature - Creative Nonfiction
The scratching and hammering and tapping of writing One of the things that we do not talk about when we talk about writing is the sound and scent and sensuality of it, the scratching and hammering and tapping, the pitter of pencils and the scribble and scrawl of pens, the quiet mumble of the electric typewriter like an old pharmacist humming, the infinitesimal skitter of forefingers on keyboards; and the curl and furl of paper, the worn and friendly feeling of pocket-notebooks, the shards and...

Where the Blue Begins - The American Scholar
Sharon and Nikki McCutcheon/Flickr I am that rare man who thinks he can pinpoint the moments in which he fell in love with books, and the way that stories printed on good paper, sometimes with delicious accompanying artwork, can awake something in a child that he or she did not know was there, but was there, hibernating, patiently impatient, and then bursting forth with what we could call glee, and delight, and excitement, and passion, and hunger; for once you are thrilled by books, you...
My First Ordination | Brian Doyle
My first date with the sweet, wild woman who eventually married me was as follows: We drove two hundred miles from Boston, at speeds exceeding the speed limit, because as usual we started late, and also because someone forgot her dress, which entailed retrieving it again at shocking rates of speed, and we screeched to a stop three hours later at a taxi stand in New York City, beneath a sign that said no parking at any time, and we sprinted, yes, sprinted, to a church, one of us making...
One Million Ice-Cream Sticks - The American Scholar
The first time I was sentenced to summer camp was when I was seven years old. My mom had just given birth to yet another new brother, and my near-twin brother Peter and I, being old enough to survive in the wild but too young to be farmed out to work, were mailed for a week to what was billed as camp but what seemed much more like school, as it was housed in an elementary school, albeit one with vast open fields and meadows and copses of trees.
Watch: Seamus Coleman Gives Damning Assessment Of Everton Squad After Horror Show
Everton were absolutely shocking during their 3-0 loss at Wolves today. Carlo Ancelotti's side were way off the pace, being thoroughly outclassed by the opposition in every facet of the game. While many would see this as a result of Everton having little to play for over the remainder of the season, performances such as this one have been a consistent theme at the club for a number of years now. It is certainly something they need to eradicate if they are to compete with teams higher up the league.
Seamus Coleman Is Fed Up With Everton's Constant False Dawns
Stephen Kenny will be one man who's been very pleased by what he's seen since the Premier League returned last month. Irish players are in form and getting game time across the division. That list of players also includes the Irish captain Seamus Coleman who's been in invigorating form since the restart.
Do I consider myself a Christian?
(Illustration by Tim Cook) We invited Annie Dillard to contribute to the new How My Mind Has Changed series. She declined to write a full-length essay, but she did offer this short response to our query. —Eds. How has my mind changed over many years? I identify as a Christian. Many Christians would disagree that I can use the term honestly. I can’t and don’t give intellectual assent to many very established and agreed-upon Christian dogmas, if not most of them, if not all of them.

The Hawk - The Sun Magazine
Recently a man took up residence on my town’s football field, sleeping in a small tent in the northwestern corner, near the copse of cedars. He had been a terrific football player some years ago for our high school, and then had played in college, and then a couple of years in the nether reaches of the professional ranks, where a man might get paid a hundred bucks a game plus bonuses for touchdowns and sacks.
One Long River of Song
Reviewed by Kathleen Dean Moore March 3, 2020 Little, Brown, 2019. $27, 272 pages. WHO WAS Brian Doyle? He was a hilarious writer and a heartbroken man. He was a scamp, and he was as close to a holy man as any of us will ever meet. He wrote like an angel, some say like Faulkner, and he wrote like a fire hose. He was a smitten husband and besotted father, and he was a grateful son — of God and of a journalist named Jim.
Bookmonger: A balm for the harried soul

Author Brian Doyle's open spirit remembered by David James Duncan, others
When brain cancer took Oregon writer Brian Doyle's life in 2017, he left behind an impressive body of work that is a testament to not only his passion for words, but to a relentless, joyful work ethic. But there was also a vast collection of previously published essays — hilarious, gut-wrenching, gorgeous essays — that had never been collected before in a single volume.

The Sun Magazine
Robin Wall Kimmerer has a PhD in botany and is a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, a Native American people originally from the Great Lakes, with a reservation today in Oklahoma. She describes herself as a “traveler between scientific and indigenous ways of knowing,” but there is little about her writing, public speaking, or teaching that suggests movement back and forth. Rather she seems to be standing still, looking simultaneously through two lenses, expressing two worldviews.
Where God Is at Home

The American Scholar: Thomas -
Jim Fischer/Flickr The other day, I stopped by a homeless camp across from the train yards in my city to talk to the residents. They were cautious and reticent and reserved, those who would deign to converse, but one youngish man said he had some time to talk, if I would promise to report accurately what he said. I said I would do that, and this is what he said. My name is Thomas, he said. Not Tom or Tommy. Thomas. That is what my mother named me and that is what I would like to be called.
