Larry Ziemba, executive vice president for refining, project development and procurement, said that, for the right price the company would consider selling a 71,000 bpd refinery in Cork, Ireland, and its joint venture stakes in refineries in Malaysia and Germany. "They're really not strategic," Mr. Ziemba said.
By ALISON SIDER
Phillips 66 would entertain offers for some of its
refineries in Europe and Asia as it focuses on
growing returns in its US refining system, an executive told
analysts Thursday.
Larry Ziemba, executive
vice president for refining, project development and procurement,
said that, for the right price the company would consider
selling a 71,000 bpd refinery in Cork, Ireland, and its
joint venture stakes in refineries in Malaysia and Germany.
"They're really not strategic," Mr. Ziemba said of the
The company's 47% stake in Malaysia's Maleka refinery is a
holdover from Phillips 66's days as the refining arm of ConocoPhillips,
which had upstream operations in Malaysia. Now, "it might be
worth more to Petronas or someone else than it is to us," Mr.
Ziemba said.
Mr. Ziemba said the company likes the cash generated by its
18.5% stake in the Mineraloelraffinerie Oberrhein
GmbH refinery in southwest Germany, but said the
refinery is not key to the company's portfolio. He said the refinery in Ireland is "not
Most Phillips 66's refining capacity is located in the
US, where the company is looking to take full advantage of
booming production of relatively inexpensive oil. Mr. Ziemba
said the share of "advantaged" crude-oil that is cheaper than
the European Brent benchmark- has grown
from 52% of the crude Phillips 66 ran in 2011, to 70% by the
end of 2012.
"Ultimately, our objective is to push all the Brent crudes
out of our system," Mr. Ziemba said.
The challenge has been getting crude from areas such as
North Dakota that are not yet hooked in to existing pipelines.
Many coastal refineries have turned to rail companies and their
existing routes to connect to the new sources of crude.
Earlier this year, Phillips 66 announced that it signed a
five-year contract for 50,000 bpd of crude oil from North
Dakota to be delivered by rail to its Bayway refinery in
Linden, N.J. The company is awaiting permits to build a rail
rack to supplement that, Mr. Ziemba said.
Now Phillips 66 wants to do the same thing at its Ferndale,
Wash., refinery, where the company is working with third
parties to bring Bakken crude. Mr. Ziemba said the company is
considering building a rail rack at Ferndale, which would also
allow the refinery take rail delivery of
Canadian crude that could then be sent to refineries in
California by ship.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I find I often have an overflowing email inbox. Are there any methods or systems to help efficiently and effectively filter through, sort, and reply to emails?
Inbox Zero: Overcoming E-mail Overload
The usual admonitions (refrain from "reply all", keep responses short, etc.) are about keeping the problem from getting worse. Merlin Mann's Inbox Zero is a system that can actually help solve the problem, and it starts with a basic axiom:
As I see it, Inbox Zero has three cardinal rules:
Don't allow e-mail to interrupt your train of thought. Turn off instant notification and instead process your e-mail in bursts at times that are convenient for you. That might be every 30 minutes or it might be once a day, depending on your situation.
Process your e-mail, don't check it. Any message, once read, must be processed, which means making one of six possible choices. Consider them in this order:
Process to zero (i.e. empty your inbox). Obviously, you have to be flexible, but the goal, especially at the end of the day, is to have zero messages in your inbox.
If you're interested in the canonical source, Merlin's original blog posts were also linked above and his ideas delightfully presented in the classic Inbox Zero video.
Inbox Zero helps you work your Inbox towards zero e-mails, it will thus help you handle all your e-mails.
The best way would be to watch the video Reaching Inbox Zero, it's an hour though...
It is accompanied by a slide show, and his articles on 43 folders.
A concise introduction:
Which yields the following result:
I never let my inbox get longer than 1 screen, to ensure I don't lose anything important:
As emails come in I strip out all attachments and store in a filesystem that mirrors my mail folders. Then I file all emails that don't need immediate action, but mark as unread. The others I respond to and then file.
The benefit of this setup is I can always see what requires action.
GMail has customizable filters you can use to have your messages organized automatically. It takes some time at first but it's easy to keep it updated. I have tags for 'Facebook' and 'Friends' that never go to my inbox but are automatically archived. I know something arrived because the tag turns bold and shows the amount of unread messages.
The main tags used.
Setting up an automated tag requires you to fill one or more of the options: 'From', 'To', 'Subject', 'Has the words' and 'Doesn't have'. Then you have to choose how all the messages in these criterias are going to be sorted.
It's safer than using a software or external online service and all your archived messages will be right there sorted with your tags.
Even if you don't have the time or inclination to set up a complex set of filters or smart mailboxes, a simple thing you can do to reduce the size of your inbox is to act on every email. (Note: I agree with many of the other answers about checking your email on a schedule that works for you - every half hour, hour or whatever rather than looking at each email as it comes in.)
If you know right away that it's not important (spam, marketing material, etc.), delete it right away.
If it is marked "urgent" or "high priority" by the sender - or includes a phrase like "immediate response requested" or "action needed" in the subject line - read it and respond to it immediately. Then archive or delete the original message.
If it's a meeting, put it on your calendar, immediately.
For emails that require an action but aren't urgent, move to a to-do list. Just be sure to set aside time every day (either first thing in the morning or right after lunch works well for me) to address your to-do list.
One way is a 2 folder system:
That way old mails that are no longer needed get deleted without any effort on your part.got
I got this idea from this podcast: http://www.hanselminutes.com/default.aspx?showID=253
If you are using Gmail I use priority inbox, plus a GTD-like system using multiple inboxes.
Here is a blog post where I explain how to do it, although I do need to write a follow-up about using it with Priority Inbox: http://jaderobbins.com/2010/01/getting-things-done-in-gmail/
The Inbox Zero methodology is by far the most effective system that I know, especially because it works on all e-mail systems.
If you have the luxury of using Gmail, then you must absolutely enable Priority Inbox & Smart Labels. These two systems in combination are incredibly powerful for automatically filtering and prioritizing your e-mail messages for you, so you can more efficiently process them. It's basically the first step of Inbox Zero done for you by the Googleplex.
You might also consider using Shortmail, which limits inbound and outbound messages to 400 characters. This forces a concision of writing that can be very valuable for busy people.
Well, if you're on gmail, your best bet is to archive stuff as soon as you read it.
Also, do you get newsletters and frequent emais frOm google groups or websites like engadget then unsubscribe from those and get yourself rss feeds of them. They're easier to handle in google reader.
If you use Microsoft Outlook, ClearContext (clearcontext.com) is a fabulous tool that makes processing very efficient. Is has some additional excellent functionality too, but even just using it to streamline your processing would be a benefit.

text: John, as you pointed out, my initial results at HDR with this little camera were poor. In aviation I had what is known as a 'finger problem'... I couldn't put my fingers in the proper place on the camera. The initial image was bracketed with three shots covering four stops. This is far too taxing for the software as there is not enough information in shadows and highlights for smooth merging. Subsequently I've found that it is pretty easy to get nine shots bracketed one stop apart using the camera's EV offset function. Set up three shots with one stop bracketing, then twist the EV adjust to -3, 0, and +3 for each panoramic view. Sample attached.

Let $f$ be function that has derivatives of order $2$. Furthermore, $\lim\limits_{x \to 0^+} f(x)=+\infty $ and $f''(x)>0$. prove that $$\lim\limits_{x \to 0^+} f'(x)=-\infty $$
The original question was : If $f$ has derivatives of order $2$ and $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = +\infty$, does that mean $\lim_{x \to 0} f'(x) = -\infty$ and this is no.
Here : I'll suppose $f : \mathbb R / \{0\} \to \mathbb R$ and $f \to +\infty$ as $x \to 0^+$. Take $f(x) = \frac 1x + \sin \left( \frac 1{x^2} \right)$. You obtain $$ f'(x) = \frac{-1}{x^2} -\frac{2 \cos \left( \frac 1{x^2} \right) }{x^{3}} = \frac{-x-\cos \left( \frac 1{x^2} \right)}{x^3} $$ You can take subsequences such that the derivative goes to $-\infty$ as well as $+\infty$ (by letting $x_n$ such that $x_n \to 0$ and $\cos(\frac 1{x^2}) = \pm 1$) so that you don't have an asymptote for $f'$, but rather some horrible behavior (oscillation between $-\infty$ and $+\infty$). Clearly this means the derivative does not necessarily converge to $+\infty$. But if it converges, it does indeed go to $+\infty$, because it can clearly not be bounded or go to $-\infty$ if $f$ goes to $+\infty$...
EDIT : Now for the current question, the answer is yes. Since $f''(x) > 0$, $f'(x)$ is increasing, thus it suffices to find a subsequence of $f'$ which goes to $-\infty$ as $x \to 0$. Consider the interval $(0,1)$. Define $x_1 = 1$ and choose $x_2$ in this interval so that $$ f(x_2) - f(x_1) > 1. $$ which is possible because $f$ goes to infinity. Suppose $x_n$ has been defined and choose $x_{n+1}$ in the interval $(0,x_n)$ such that $$ f(x_{n+1}) - f(x_n) > n . $$ By Taylor's theorem, there exists $c_n \in (x_{n+1},x_n)$ such that $$ -n(x_n-x_{n+1}) > -n > f(x_n)- f(x_{n+1}) = f'(c_n)(x_n-x_{n+1}) $$ which implies $$ -n > f'(c_n) \frac{x_n - x_{n+1}}{x_n-x_{n+1}} = f'(x_n) $$ and $c_n \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$. This gives you $$ \forall n \in \mathbb N, \quad \exists c_n \text{ s.t. } \quad \forall 0 < x \le c_n, \quad f'(c_n) < -n. $$ This means $f'(x) \to -\infty$.
Hope that helps,
Notice that $$f''(x)>0$$ It means $f'(x)$ is increasing function, and then, the shape of function $f(x)$ is like this.(approximatlly)
so, you can notice that $$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^+}f'(x)=-\infty$$
Note if $\rm\displaystyle\ \!\!\!\!\!\lim_{\quad x \to\: 0^+} f\:\:'(x)\ $ exists then applying L'Hospital's rule we deduce
$$\rm 0\ =\ \!\!\!\!\!\lim_{\quad x \to\: 0^+}\:\dfrac{x}{ f(x)}\: =\ \!\!\!\!\!\lim_{\quad x \to\: 0^+} \dfrac{1}{f\:'(x)} $$
hence $\rm\displaystyle \!\!\!\lim_{\quad x \to\: 0^+} f\:'(x)\ =\: \pm\:\infty,\ $ necessarily $\rm\:-\infty\:$ since $\rm\ f\:'' > 0\ \Rightarrow\ f\:'\:$ increasing.
By the mean-value theorem, for any $0< x <1$, $$ f(1) - f(x) = f'(\xi)(1-x), $$ for some $\xi \in (x,1)$. Since $f'' > 0$, $f'$ is increasing. So from $\xi > x$, it follows that $f'(\xi) \geq f'(x)$. Hence $$ f(1) - f(x) \geq f'(x)(1-x). $$ Now note that, by the assumption on $f$, $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0^ + } (f(1) - f(x)) = - \infty , $$ and further note that $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0^ + } (1 - x) = 1 , $$ to conclude from $f(1) - f(x) \geq f'(x)(1-x)$ that $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0^ + } f'(x) = - \infty . $$
Here's how you can make ks0830's idea rigorous; I'll suppose $f$ is defined on the interval $(0,1]$:
Since $f$ is unbounded, $f'$ must also be unbounded (otherwise $f$ would be Lipschitz continuous and hence bounded). Moreover, $f''>0$ implies that $f'$ is increasing, so you conclude that $f'(x) \to -\infty$ as $x\to0$.

I have a need to encrypt credentials for a third-party app used by a secured internal app. Over on ITSec.SE, I was helpfully shown a scheme to encrypt the third-party credentials based on a hash of the credentials for the internal app.
I picked AES as the encryption algorithm, but the problem is that the password-based scheme doesn't produce a "secret" IV. So, the IV must at least be known to an attacker (stored alongside the encrypted data). A hash value used for password verification could work, or I could just generate a pseudorandom byte array and drop it in the DB as a new column. I was further considering, for simplicity, using a constant IV.
The question is, what adverse effect will any of these have on the security of the encryption? Does AES depend, as many block ciphers do, on an unpredictable IV? Does it matter if the IV is stored plainly?
EDIT: Thanks for the answers; the general consensus is that I should not use a fixed IV. As .NET has a CSPRNG built in (or at least hooked in from the CryptoServiceProviders) and it's easy enough to make a new one every time I re-encrypt something, I'll just do that, and store it alongside the encrypted data.

It would appear that the very root of the cause of WWI was the assassination of the heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne. To me, this is an incredibly odd reason to start a world war. Was the war as pointless as it seems?
closed as not a real question by RedBlueThing, Sardathrion, Wladimir Palant, MichaelF, Hauser Nov 16 '11 at 13:23
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you look at it in the context of European wars of the past few centuries, it isn't totally out of line. Europe had seen a good many wars, some with even less justification. It also grew quickly once the Great Powers got involved. Austria-Hungary decided to attack Serbia, Russia decided to support Serbia, and Germany decided to support Austria-Hungary. None of these acts were particularly odd by past criteria, but such rapid expansion was unusual. While many European powers could wind up in a war, they generally did so more slowly, with more time for diplomacy.
Germany's war plan didn't help. In event of war with Russia, the German Army would form up on Germany's western border, invade Belgium, and march on Paris, making it impossible to contain the war once Germany decided to support Austria-Hungary against Russia.
Once the war had started, the great increase in army size precluded maneuver, and the unexpected resilience of industrial economies made attrition a long, slow, process. Moreover, each belligerent was suffering greatly in the war, and it rapidly became politically impossible for each side to accept a peace that wasn't some sort of victory over the other.

Storm: De navel van de Dubbele God (2007)
Romano Molenaar is a Dutch comic artist, best known as the second artist of the popular sci-fi series 'Storm'. He has also worked extensively for US comic books and gaming projects. Born in The Hague, Molenaar has drawn covers and interior art for US comic books since the mid 1990s, starting with the Liar Comics miniseries 'More than Mortal' and 'Witchfinder'. He then joined Chaos Comics, where his credits include 'Lady Death' and 'The Tenth'. He also worked for Top Cow, doing fill-ins on 'Witchblade' and 'The Darkness', as well as the miniseries 'Cursed'.
Molenaar was asked by publisher Rob van Bavel to take over the popular Dutch comic series 'Storm', following the death of the original artist Don Lawrence in 2003. Molenaar gave up his dayjob at the reproduction department of a technical office and has done the artwork for new stories in cooperation with colorist Jorg De Vos since 2006. The stories, written by Martin Lodewijk and later by De Vos, are first published in Eppo magazine and then in albums by Van Bavel's Don Lawrence Collection. In 2013, Molenaar also started a spin-off series starring the female character 'Roodhaar', for which the scripts are provided by none other than 'Conan the Barbarian' writer Roy Thomas.
Roodhaar - De legende van Krill (2014)
Romano Molenaar has also worked in game design since the 1990s, and shares his own Artking Studio with Niel Vredeveldt. He has done stage designs for rock band Within Temptation, and also drew a comic book series based on the band's 2011 albums 'The Unforgiving'. The artist, resident of Pijnacker, The Netherlands, was asked by DC Comics to draw the 'Batman' spin-off 'Birds of Prey' in June 2012. In 2014, his talents were also recognized by Standaard in Belgium, who hired him to draw 'J. Rom - Force of Gold', the second more adult spin-off of their 'Suske en Wiske' franchise.

The Secret of Chinese Pulse Diagnosis (9780936185675)
Publisher: Blue Poppy
Binding: Paperback
Chinese doctors have used pulse diagnosis as one of their four main methods of diagnosis for at least 2,000 years. Even to this day, this art is integral to the correct identification of traditional Chinese medical patterns of disharmony. Although most practitioners of acupuncture and Oriental medicine give lip service to the importance of the pulse in their practice, few practitioners in the West feel really competent in this art.
In this book, Bob Flaws, one of the most famous Western practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the world, shares his secret for learning how to do Chinese pulse diagnosis. Bob has identified a single key secret technique which will unlock Chinese pulse diagnosis for all who apply it. Using this technique, anyone can feel the 27 or 28 classical pulses in their clinical practice.

"This is a rare opportunity for (state) Republicans to offer their vision of what government should look like and what it costs. There will be a desire by some to be good sport's (sic) and try and help Democrats make lousy policy somewhat less lousy. The siren song of being relevant and among the players can be alluring, especially if one procures a favor or playground in the process. But that will only legitimize a broken and corrupt process. It's time for Republicans to lay it out — like they have in the past — and sell it outside the comforts of the Hartford Bubble. Who knows? Maybe someone will pay attention."

Is there an off/disable control anywhere? I realize that the INFO button toggles it off, but it comes right back on as soon as you tap the shutter, and that it a problem in low light situations where the LCD keeps blasting me in the eye.
So, the answer to this is "no", there isn't. You can disable it in some circumstances, but as you've seen, it will keep coming back on. The user interface of many entry-level DSLRs is designed around the rear LCD screen, and these cameras also generally don't offer a huge amount of customization. This is also the case on the D3100, which is roughly a successor to the D40, and the slightly-higher D5100 model.
The D7000, though, has a small LCD status display on the top of the camera as well (as do mid-range cameras from other companies). Since that provides alternate access to key information, the software isn't as over-excited about turning on the rear LCD as it is on the lower models.
You can try covering the panel with Rubylith, astronomers use this a lot to dim bright display. It has a dark red tint to it so you'll still be able to see the display but it should seriously cut down on the eye glare and even retain some of your night vision. (Just some, it isn't perfect.) If the display has a dimmer on it, if you combine that with Rubylith you should have undamaged night vision.
I use this on my Palm Pilot which ran some excellent astronomy software and preserved my night vision perfectly.
This is the solution for me: Buy and install the Delkin Pop up Hood that's made specifically for this model camera. It's actually a sun shade with a black cover for the LCD when not in use, but in about 1/2 second, you can pop up the cover to view the LCD if you desire. They cost about $12.
This may not get you all the way, but you can turn off image review.
According to http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40/users-guide/menus-custom.htm, you can do this by going into the menus:
Set this to Off.
To see this, you may need to set Full Menus in the Setup Menu (wrench icon) and be shooting in P, S, A, or M mode.
I'm afraid I've got to agree with the others - it's not possible completely. I'm also a D40 shooter and it's annoying late in the evening or at night. While all I need is visible in the viewfinder, the display flashes to the eye from below...
I tried to velcro a black rectangle over it. (First a piece of an old 8" floppy and then a thick paper covered by a black tape.) But it was pain although the velcro was undone pretty quickly - and got lost too :-) I thought I shouldn't need to get to the menu so often but at last I did need it.
You can also upgrade your camera to some else with swivel display and rotate it to make it face the body. Also, other cameras have bigger or brighter viewfinder better for shooting in the dark. And maybe a camera with the backlit upper display to be able to leave the LED flashlight at home :-)

Balanced Attacked Lifts Trojans Past Mars HillFebruary 3, 2013
ANDERSON, S.C. – With four players reaching double figures, Anderson defeated Mars Hill, 86-64, in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action Saturday afternoon at the Abney Athletic Center.
Anderson (12-6, 8-2 SAC) opened the second half of the league schedule by bouncing back from Wednesday night's road setback at Lenoir-Rhyne to win its sixth game in the last eight outings, while Mars Hill fell to 3-15 overall and 0-10 in the league.
Senior guard Denzail Jones led the Trojans with 21 points, with junior Chandler Hash and sophomore guard Myson Jones each adding 16 points apiece. Sophomore Chris Ross notched a career-high 10 points off the bench, while recording six rebounds. Junior Kyle Sledge pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds.
Mars Hill senior Khouraichi Thiam scored 23 points and recorded 15 rebounds, while the Lions' Kacey Holt added 10 points.
Anderson scored the first 12 points of the contest and never trailed, as the Trojan defense held Mars Hill scoreless for the first 4:35 of the game. AU pushed out to a 24-7 lead – its largest of the first half – on a jumper by Ross with just less than nine minutes left before intermission.
The Lions trimmed AU's lead to nine on two occasions, but would get no closer, with the Trojans taking a 38-22 lead at the break.
AU took its largest lead of the game, at 82-51, with 3:11 remaining on a 3-pointer from freshman guard Dillon Bender.
The Trojans open a two-game South Atlantic Conference road swing, beginning at Newberry on Wednesday. AU defeated the Wolves, 105-95, in double-overtime earlier this season at the Abney Center. Tip-off versus the Wolves is scheduled for 8 p.m

E3 2014: Shigeru Miyamoto leads the way with unique Wii U game ideas… againWritten by: / / No Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto is just a delight, isn't he? His infectious grin and enthusiasm for games aren't his only assets, though, and now that the Wii U has been out for a year and a half he's rolling up his sleeves once again to help showcase the ways developers can make use of the console's GamePad with a number of new projects, one of which is the next Star Fox game.
What else has the legendary designer been working on, other than his winning smile? No less than two new and intriguing Wii U games, both of which use the GamePad in all-new and unexpected ways.
As if you needed to introduce yourself…
Both available next year on Wii U, 'Project Guard' and 'Project Giant Robot' (presumably working title names…) are games that Nintendo hopes will show Wii U owners (and Wii U game developers) what is possible with the GamePad's tilt controls and touch-screen.
Here's Miyamoto introducing the two games as a primer:
Shigeru Miyamoto – Introducing Project Giant Robot and Project Guard
Project Guard
In Project Guard, you're in charge of fending off a robot invasion by shooting them down before they crowd your base. How do you achieve this?
Instead of giving you direct control of a gun to blast the robots, you'll need to set up twelve security cameras around a perimeter before the invasion begins. Handily, each camera can also act as a turret. Once the invasion starts, you'll be presented with a screen filled with twelve cameras from which you'll need to monitor the appearance of the robots and manually set off the turrets when you spot enemies on the screens, using the GamePad to scan and shoot.
The game encourages anyone watching you play to help point out robot sightings so you can switch to that camera and eliminate threats, which Nintendo says "makes for a thrilling spectator experience," and there's no reason not to believe it.
Project Giant Robot
Project Robot, on the other hand, makes use of the GamePad's touch-screen to let you build a giant robot – we're talking skyscraper building sized. Where you're done building, the GamePad view switches to the robot's cockpit where you'll need to control your creation to victory as you attempt to knock over other robots crashing through the city, while trying to keep the robot's balance and dish out punches, too.
Now that we know a little more about the games, if you have about forty minutes to carve out of your day you can watch Miyamoto play and explain them both in more depth below:
Shigeru Miyamoto – Introducing Project Giant Robot and Project Guard
What do you think of these new visions for GamePad play? Do you think other developers will take up the call to create Wii U games that make better use of the console's features?

As far as I understand Martin Luther according to the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Churches possessed the Apostolic succession while he was in the Roman Catholic Church (he was a priest, after all). However, now both Luther and all his followers are considered by both Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church as those who don't posses the Apostolic succession. So, according to them, at what particular point Martin Luther lost his Apostolic succession?

When did Martin Luther lose his Apostolic succession according to Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churchеs?
When Luther was excommunicated for insubordination on January 3, 1521, he lost the ability to say he was in the chain. You cannot succeed someone who has disowned you.
Note the date to which most people would ascribe the "beginning of the Protestant Reformation" (a bad term since it was really a process that had been going on since the 1300s!) is October 31, 1517, when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door at Wittenburg Cathedal—a document outlining his beefs with the Catholic church, as it was acting at the time. The heresies for which Luther was excommunicated are not generally given a specific name (unless if you want to call Lutheranism or even Protestantism a "heresy").
1521 might be the Roman Catholic answer to this question, but the Eastern Orthodox answer is a bit harder to give. The Roman Catholic Church lost its apostolic succession in splitting off from the Orthodox Church (remember, this is the Orthodox perspective).
As late as 1274 and then at 1438, there were still attempts at reunion between the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox. But the reaction of the Orthodox people to the attempted reunion in 1438 made it clear that by that time the schism was a fait accompli.
That being the case, in the Orthodox view Luther was already in a church that had lost its apostolic succession, and his actions did nothing to remedy that.
Interestingly, some of the Reformers did have contact with the Patriarch of Constantinople, and explored the possibility of reconciliation between the two groups. Here's an article that gives a good summary of what took place.

Betung Kerihun National Park is a Wildlife Sanctuary cetrally located on the island of Kalimantan, and is the largest conservation area in the West Kalimantan province in the Heart of Borneo.
Its hilly topography spans an area of 8,000 square kilometers and encompasses 8 types of forest eco-systems, including lowland forest, old secondary forest, dipterocarpus, sub-montane and montane forest. A high level of plant diversity of over 1,200 species flourishes across the reserve, 75 of which are endemic to Kalimantan. 300 species of bird, 51 species of amphibian, 52 species of reptile, and 48 species of mammal, including the endangered orangutan reside within the parks boundaries. 24 species endemic to Kalimantan also inhabit these forests.
The many levels of ecosystems and rich biodiversity of the park have led to the discovery of several newly listed species including 13 species of palm trees. 7 species of primate populate the parks large territory such as the Maroon Leaf Monkey, Mueller's Bornean grey Gibbon, White-fronted Leaf Monkey, Banded Leaf Monkey, and of course the Orangutan. Other commonly spotted creatures include the Sambar Deer, Western Tarsier, Sun Bear, Hairy-nosed Otter, and Larger Malay Mouse Deer. The most distinct bird species within the park are the Wreathed Hornbill and the Helmeted Hornbill, which is the largest species of hornbill and the symbol of West Kalimantan.
Local communities consisting of 8 ethnic groups exist in 12 settlements in and around the park, 2 of them within the park itself. Most communities support their livelihood through the practice of traditional agriculture, rice cultivation and wildlife hunting, with the exception of one community that sustains itself primarily from gold mining and collecting bird's nests.
The park runs along the boundary between Indonesia and Malaysia, separated by the Muller Mountain Range, part of which constitutes the National Border. Opposite the border, lies Malaysia's 2,000 square kilometer Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary, and combined, the two parks have been proposed to form a World Heritage Site, TheTrans-border Rainforest Heritage of Borneo.
And, together with the rainforests of Brunei Darussalam, the central forests of Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei on Borneo jointly form the Heart of Borneo, a concerted effort to preserve this huge rainforest area as planet earth's lungs.
Hundreds of rivers encircle the Betung Kerihun National Park. Indonesia's longest river, the Kapuas River, measures 1,143 kilometers and begins in the Park.
The Park, originally known as Bentuang Karimun, was first designated as a nature reserve by ministerial decree in 1982. Ten years later, the reserve expanded from its initial 6,000 square kilometers to 8,000. In 1995, with the involvement of the WWF, the Reserve was converted to a National Park.
Currently, the local wildlife authorities continue to work together with global conservation organizations to improve the park's management, protect endangered species and promote sustainable a livelihood for local people through agro-forestry and ecotourism.

For a fuller experience, homestays within the traditional houses are available to visitors who wish to spend and experience the complete Kalimantan package. These homestays can be booked here:
Another exotic way to spend the night is in one of the several camping grounds across the park.
For regular accommodations, here is a list of hotels in Putussibau city.
Hotel Sanjaya is located on the main road, about 1.5 kilometers from the Kapuas River Station. It offers VIP, Executive and Economy rooms. VIP and Executive rooms include a private bathroom while economy rooms have a shared bathroom.

The best time to visit BetungKerihun depends largely on what you expect from your trip. Trekking tours are best during the dry season between June and August, whereby heavy rainfall is quite rare.
For the best white-water rafting experience, the period between January and March would be ideal as the water levels of the river are considerably higher during that time.
Between April and June, the Dayak hold their traditional "Adat Festivals." The objective of the festival is to maintain the ancient local culture, which is one of the oldest in Indonesia. During the festival, various cultural arts are displayed from handicrafts to traditional dances.
The period of flowering and fruiting is between October and January, which is also the reproductive time for the primates and fish of the park, hence making this the best time for observing the beauty and abundance of BentungKerihun's plant and animal life.
A few other things to keep in mind are that while you do not need to follow an organized tour, visiting the park without a local companion or guide is not advised. Natural trails often cross water, and may become slippery. At times of rainfall, the rivers' water levels may rise dramatically in a short space of time. Bring enough food and water for your visit. Bring appropriate clothes for trekking through a tropical rainforest, such as long pants, long sleeves and proper shoes.
Do not remove any plants or animals from the park, and hunting is prohibited. Last but not least, keep the park clean and help to maintain the environment and enjoy your visit to BetungKerihun!
The journey to BetungKerihun is a long one over air, land and water. To get to there, first fly to the small international airport in Pontianak, West Kalimantan. International flights are available from Singapore on Batavia Air and Kuching in Malaysia on Malaysian Airlines. Domestic flights to Pontianak come from Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta,Pekanbaru, Semarang,Batam and other smaller cities.
From Pontianak, one must embark on the challenging journey of 800 kilometers inland to the city of Putussibau. Various bus services cover the Pontianak-Putussibau route across Kalimantan which takes between 12-15 hours.
For a more time-saving route, flights depart from Pontianak to Putussibau twice a week on a small Cessna plane. Tickets are available at Pontianak airport and the flight takes approximately 2 ½ hours.
Once in Putussibau, continue your travels via longboat up the Kapuas, Sibau and Mendalam rivers for about 5 hours. Alternatively, you could take a speedboat which will take you about 3 hours.
Package tours to and around the park can be arranged through:

NEW MARTINSVILLE - Madonna coach George Vargo and Magnolia coach Dave Tallman basically felt the same way after the Blue Eagles eliminated the Blue Dons, 79-56, in their West Virginia Class A, Region One, Section One showdown Tuesday night.
The veteran boys from New Martinsville weren't going to be denied by the youthful ones from Weirton.
''They just outmanned us, outstrengthed us, outplayed us,'' Vargo said. ''We played hard, we're just not good enough to compete with this team.''

IN THE AIR — Weirton Madonna's Ross Comis goes up for a shot against the defensive efforts of Magnolia's Zach Wilhoit during Tuesday's 79-56 sectional playoff win by Magnolia.
-- Jim Elliott
Added Tallman: ''My team, that's the hardest I've ever seen a team play as far as going for loose balls. We went after every loose ball. I thought we outhustled them a little bit and that's saying a lot when you're talking about Weirton Madonna.''
What was a relative struggle in the first half where Madonna led 16-14 with six minutes to go turned into a going away victory for the Blue Eagles after they finally got the Blue Dons in foul trouble, shot them out of their zone defense and exploded early in the fourth quarter.
It went from an eight-point game to a 16-point game in the blink of an eye, with Zach Wilhoite and Mark Winters each dropping in back-to-back, unanswered baskets.
''Now you see why we didn't want to come out of it,'' Vargo said.
Winters led the Blue Eagles with 27 points and Wilhoite added 12, but it was the outside shooting of freshman Preston Boswell (three treys) and senior Stephen Rogalski (two) that opened those opportunities. Spencer Campbell and Winters also hit 3s, with Winters capping a personal five-point, 15-second span midway through the fourth quarter.
Campbell and Boswell each wound up with 12 points.
''Once they got out of it, we got some easy buckets,'' Tallman said. ''To be honest, our high-low game wasn't as good as it's been. We've been real effective but teams are going to guard that now. We're going to get some wide-open looks on the perimeter.''
It was the second meeting between the teams in six days, as Magnolia won the first one, 89-72, mostly from the free-throw line.
Fouls played a part in this one, too. Madonna big man Josh Martin fouled out after playing less than a minute of the fourth quarter, and Ross Comis had to walk on pins and needles in foul trouble for much of the second half.
''That's been a thing all year,'' Vargo said. ''Our young kids are overanxious. They want to do things they can't do.''
Comis had 20 points last week against the Blue Eagles but only five Tuesday night. James Carnes, who hit five 3-pointers in the first meeting and totaled 21, had just two points.
''The big key to the game was when Comis picked up a third foul,'' Tallman said. ''There's no doubt about that. But I thought we played him pretty well. Whenever Comis came out of the game, we went to our box press, and they turned the ball over quite a bit.''
Will Bowser and Nick Mazur each scored 11 to lead the Blue Dons, with Mazur hitting a trio of 3-pointers.
''I thought Magnolia played like they are on a title-run team,'' Vargo said. ''They're a very good basketball team.
"They have a well-rounded team.''

The Illusion: 'Songs From Their Souls'
As they entered discussions for the film version of "Les Misérables," director Tom Hooper and producer Cameron Mackintosh agreed that there is something about movie musicals that is essentially false: It isn't that actors break into song—a convention the audience accepts—but that, with the music recorded well in advance of the filming, actors are challenged to make relevant in the moment a song they performed long ago.

"With some of the great, and less great, musicals, you know in your bones it's artificial," Mr. Hooper said by phone. "The audience is being asked to forgive the lip synching."
Mr. Mackintosh produced stage versions of "Les Misérables," based on the Victor Hugo novel, in 42 countries and 21 languages. To capture the urgency of the performances, he insisted that in each case the soundtrack album be recorded live rather than in a studio. "Les Misérables," he said, is "a very powerful story that happens to be sung."
Their solution for the film, which opens Christmas Day, was to require the actors to sing live as the scene was being filmed, using discreet earpieces so they could hear the music played offstage on electric piano. At the same time, each song's pianist, either Roger Davison or Jennifer Whyte, watched the actors on monitors and reacted to their dramatic readings, adapting tempo when necessary. Full orchestrations were added later. In some cases, the actors did as many as 15 takes to convey the range of emotions contained in the lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, who in 1985 put English words to what had begun life as a concept album and Paris stage musical with lyrics by Alain Boublil and music by Claude-Michel Schönberg.
The result is remarkably effective. Having the same emotional weight as the scene in which they're sung, the songs seem to rise organically from the action. At times, Mr. Hooper holds the camera tight on the faces of the actors as they sing. Tears flow, veins bulge, spittle flies, jaws throb in rage and shoulders sag in defeat as the characters sing about death, injustice, obsession and revolution in early- and mid-19th-century France.
"You need to create the illusion that your characters are creating these songs from their souls," Mr. Hooper said.
As the protagonist, Jean Valjean, Hugh Jackman marshals his rage when he is released from prison after 19 years for the theft of a loaf of bread. Freed, he steals silver candlesticks from a kindly bishop. When he's forgiven, he's stunned: As he sings "Valjean's Soliloquy," Mr. Jackman conveys a sense of shame, confusion and repentance; he sobs as he sings.
In what is the film's most memorable moment, Anne Hathaway, in the role of the prostitute Fantine, sings "I Dreamed a Dream" in the hull of a mud-caked, beached ship. She is broken; all hope is gone, and Ms. Hathaway sings with tear-filled eyes ringed red, her voice quivering and catching, choking off notes as she cries. As the music rises in authority, she remains in abject misery, reacting to the grotesque reality of what's become of her life.
"It's a high-stakes game," said Mr. Hooper, who also directed "The King's Speech," which won the Oscar for best film. "If this was really going to work, I needed to work out how to bring in people who don't like the form. 'The King's Speech' worked in Japan, worked in Germany, it worked for 9-year-olds. It unified people, not divided them."
"I always dreamed of doing it live for years and years," Mr. Mackintosh said of a film version of "Les Misérables." "We wanted this to be a movie experience rather than a movie of the stage experience."
Mr. Boublil said by phone: "We agreed we were looking for something outside the conventions of musical theater."
The live-recording technique proved beneficial during the ensemble pieces, several of which occur at a slapdash barricade thrown together by revolution-minded students. "On stage, we're delivering anthems to the audience," Mr. Mackintosh said. "You can't do that in the cinema. The camera has to come to the actor."
During the action at the barricade, the camera finds Marius (played by Eddie Redmayne) and Enjolras ( Aaron Tveit) as they sing passionately among the rabble, raising the audience's level of familiarity with the young characters. Later, when Marius, among the few survivors of the army's onslaught, sings "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," there's a feeling of reconnection that deepens the impact of the ballad's intensity.
Mr. Redmayne's solo reading was "harrowing and very powerful," Mr. Mackintosh said. "It's an example of the heightened reality of the performances."

Suppose $X_n$ are finite sets for any natural integer $n$. let $Y$ be an infinite subset of $\prod_n X_n$. Do there exist $y$ and $y'$ in $Y$ and an infinite subset $S$ of $\mathbb N$ such that $y_n=y'_n$ for all $n$ in $S$?
What about $X_n=\left\lbrace 1,2,3,...,n\right\rbrace$, and $Y$ consisting of the sequences $\left(1,1,1,...,1,2,3,4,5,6,...\right)$ with $n$ ones for all $n\in\mathbb N$?
The first true thing that comes into my mind when I hear "Pigeonhole Principle for infinite case" are some theorems in infinite Ramsey theory, such as this one.
First, let me improve upon the countable counterexample of Darij Grinberg by giving an uncountable counterexample Y. Indeed, I shall give finite sets Xn and a subset Y of the product ΠXn having size continuum (that is, as large as possible), such that any two distinct y, y' in Y have only finitely many common values.
Let Xn have 2n elements, consisting of the binary sequences of length n. Now, for each infinite binary sequence s, let ys be sequence in the product ΠXn whose nth value is s|n, the length n initial segment of s. Let Y consist of all these ys. Since there are continuum many s, it follows that Y has size continuum.
Note that if s and t are distinct binary sequences, then eventually the initial segments of s and t disagree. Thus, eventually, the values of ys and yt are different. Thus, ys and yt have only finitely many common values. So Y is very large counterexample, as desired.
A similar argument works still if the Xn grow more slowly in size, as long as liminf|Xn| = infinity. One simply spreads the construction out a bit further, until the size of the Xi is large enough to accommodate the same idea. That is, if the liminf of the sizes of the Xn's is infinite, then one can again make a counterexample set Y of size continuum.
In contrast, in the remaining case, there are no infinite counterexamples. I claim that if infinitely many Xn have size at most k and Y is a subset of ΠXn having k+1 many elements, then there are distinct y,y' in Y having infinitely many common values. To see this, suppose that Y has the property that distinct y, y' in Y have only finitely many common values. In this case, any two y, y' must eventually have different values. So if Y has k+1 many elements, then eventually for sufficiently large n, these k+1 many sequences in Y must be taking on different values in every Xn. But since unboundedly often there are only k possible values in Xn, this is impossible.
In summary, the situation is as follows:
Theorem. Suppose that Xn is finite and nonempty.
In particular, if the Xn become increasingly large in size, then there are very bad counterexamples to the question, and if the Xn are infinitely often bounded in size, then there is a very strong positive answer to the question.
I think that what you are asking for is impossible. Given any element of $\prod_n X_n$ the element is uniquely determined by its image in each of the individual $X_n$'s. So if two elements of $Y$ agree on each $X_n$ then they must be the same element.
In language similar to yours, what you probably want for the finite case is "If $X$ and $Y$ are finite sets such that $|X| < |Y|$ and $f:Y\rightarrow X$ is any map then there exists an element $x\in X$ such that $|f^{-1}(x)| > x$." More generally, given any finite sequence $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ of finite sets and any set $Y$ such that $|Y| > |X_1|\cdot|X_2|\cdots|X_n|$ and any sequence of maps $f_i:Y\rightarrow X_i$ then there exists a sequence of elements $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ and two elements $y,y'\in Y$ such that $f_i(y) = f_i(y')$ for any $i$.
The problem with the infinite case is that there are injective but not surjective maps between infinite sets with the same cardinality. However, it is true that given a sequence of finite sets $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ and a set $Y$ with cardinality greater than that of $\prod X_n$, if you have any sequence of maps $f_i:Y\rightarrow X_i$ then there exists an uncountable subset $Z\subseteq Y$ such that for any two elements $z,z'$ of $Z$ you have $f_i(z) = f_i(z')$ for all $i$.
In even more generality, I believe that if you have any set of sets $\{X_\alpha\}$ and any set $Y$ such that the cardinality of $Y$ is larger than the cardinality of $\prod_\alpha X_\alpha$ then you have a similar statement.

(CNN) -- At long last, a cold front will snap a stubborn heat wave that has roasted much of the country for more than a week.
However, the front is also expected to bring storms as it moves through the Midwest and Northeast on Sunday.
The front has already delivered some relief to the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Chicago, for example, should enjoy a temperature of about 82 degrees by late Sunday afternoon -- down from 100 degrees earlier in the weekend.
The forecast high for St. Louis, Missouri, on Sunday, was 97 -- hot enough, but a slight bit of relief for the city, which on Saturday marked its 10th consecutive day of temperatures at or above the century mark.
Dog days of summer Dog days of summer
Couple pleads for utility's help
How long will high temps last?
Food runs low after devastating storms
A heat advisory remained in effect Sunday for eastern Kansas; southern portions of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio; all of Kentucky; and western West Virginia, according to the National Weather Service. Also under a heat advisory were parts of Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas.
Resilient West Virginians brave storms and their aftermath
Heat advisories, watches and warnings were posted for portions of 11 states -- less than half the number of states that have seen them the last few days, said CNN meteorologist Sarah Dillingham.
The front will reduce temperatures into the 80s for Chicago, New York and Washington, and into the 90s for St. Louis by Monday, she said.
The cold front will continue moving south through Monday and Tuesday, CNN meteorologist Alexandra Steele said. Storms associated with the front could bring large hail and strong winds, she said.
Areas near Washington and spots in Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia were at "slight risk" for storms, Dillingham said, with hail and high winds being the greatest threat.
On Saturday, the weather service received more than 160 reports of high winds, she said.
One person died and a second was injured in the east-central Missouri town of Cuba on Saturday in storms, according to the weather service's Storm Prediction Center. Damage including building collapses, vehicle rollovers and downed power lines were reported, the center said. Another injury was reported Saturday in Mifflinburg, Pennsyvlania, officials said.
But more hot weather may be on the horizon.
"As this ridge breaks down over the East, the West will start seeing another ridge of high pressure build," pushing temperatures into the 90s and possibly 100s in Montana, eastern Oregon and Utah, Dillingham said.
The heat wave has left scores dead and hundreds of thousands without power -- many of them following a round of severe storms that swept the Mid-Atlantic states on June 29.
Nationwide, there have been more than 4,500 daily record highs in the last 30 days, according to the National Climatic Data Center. Also, the heat has brought nearly 240 all-time record highs between June 23 and July 5, Steele said Saturday. The heat has buckled roads in some areas.
Nearly 155,000 customers in 10 states and Washington were without power Sunday. Some have lacked electricity for more than a week.
The hardest-hit state continues to be West Virginia, where nearly 75,000 customers had no power Sunday. Because utilities typically define each residential and business account as a customer, the actual number of people affected was higher.
Sizzling temperatures baked parts of the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic on Saturday. Saturday's high of 107 in St. Louis broke a 103-degree mark set in 1936, said Butch Dye, hydrometeorologist technician for the National Weather Service.
Temperatures topped 100 degrees Saturday in a swath stretching from south-central Iowa to the Chicago area to Louisville, Kentucky, to Virginia, the weather service said. A high of 105 in Washington on Saturday marked the second-hottest day on record for the city and the 10th straight day of temperatures above 95.
Triple-digit strategies for staying healthy
Saturday's death in Cuba, Missouri, came as debris struck a woman's car in a grocery store parking lot during a severe storm, CNN affiliate KMOV reported.
A 4-month-old girl in Greenfield, Indiana, died Saturday after being left in a car for an "extended period of time," police Chief John Jester said. While it wasn't clear how hot it had been inside the car, temperatures in that community of 20,000 people reached 103 degrees. Greenfield is about 25 miles west of Indianapolis.
The baby's grandfather found the young girl and rushed her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her father, Joshua Stryzinski, was later arrested and charged with neglect of a dependent, resulting in death. Jester said that charge may change after detectives meet with prosecutors.
About 25 miles northwest, in the town of Fishers, Meg E. Trueblood was arrested Saturday for felony neglect of a dependent after her 16-month-old unattended daughter was pulled from a car at a shopping center, police said.
The temperature inside the vehicle reached 124 degrees, and the baby was inside for about an hour, said police spokesman Tom Weger. An officer broke a window to reach the child.
The girl was upgraded to stable condition Saturday night, and was released from the hospital Sunday to her grandmother, Weger said Sunday.

The Friends of the Tiverton Libraries extends its thanks to the many volunteers, organizations and businesses who contributed to the success of the 2014 Friends annual booksale held at Ranger School in Tiverton on May 31. Thank you to all area residents who generously responded to our appeal for donations of quality used books, of which several thousand were presented for sale.
Beyond book donors, we thank the over 100 volunteers who worked on the event in various capacities. In preparation for the sale, workers recruited volunteers, coordinated tasks and designed and distributed advertisements. During the period of book collection, volunteers transported books almost daily from the collection sites to a separate location for storage. A dedicated team of sorters organized items into dozens of categories, alphabetically by author within genre, resulting in a positive shopping experience according to buyers.
Dozens of volunteers prepared, packaged and delivered delicious food for the bake table, all sold at the sale.
Thanks to Manuel Costa who, with the help of real estate broker Brenner Realty, donated the sorting site at Bliss Four Corners for the second year in a row, rent free. As in previous years, Friends and shoppers alike appreciated Coastal Roasters of Tiverton for generously donating and delivering gallons of its famous, locally roasted coffee.
We are particularly grateful to the Tiverton Garden Club and the Tiverton Lions Club, who were vital community partners at the event, extending the sale to include local offerings of plants and food. Their participation enabled us to achieve the goal of offering a lively community-wide event with the assurance of something for everyone.
Individuals and businesses generously contributed gift certificates and other items for the popular "Cook's Night Out (Plus)" raffle. We gratefully acknowledge all of the raffle donors, including the following businesses in Tiverton: Asian Gourmet, Boat House Restaurant, Bridgeport Seafood, Classic Pizza, Coastal Roasters, Dunkin Donuts, Evelyn's Drive-In, Faith's House of Style, Famous Pizza, Four Corners Fitness, Four Corners Grille, Hess Express, Moulin Rouge, Paul's House of Flowers, Provender, Subway and Tom's Market.
We also appreciated the raffle donations from LePage's Seafood & Grille and Jerry Remy's Bar and Grill in Fall River; Carolyn's Sakonnet Vineyard, Carolyn's Café and Common's Restaurant in Little Compton; Fifteen Point Road, Food Works and Island Garden Shop in Portsmouth; and Partner's Village Store in Westport.

DETROIT -- The City Council on Thursday unanimously approved a transfer of city-owned art and other assets at the Detroit Institute of Arts to a charitable trust as part of a proposal to protect the art from being sold off in the city's bankruptcy case.
"Protecting the art is huge," Councilman Scott Benson said. "The fact that the city is losing assets doesn't excite me, but we also have to look at the bigger picture with this."
The transfer of DIA art is part of the so-called "grand bargain," an $816 million deal that helps reduce pension cuts for Detroit retirees. The deal is the centerpiece of Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr's plan to restructure the city when it exits bankruptcy.
Orr's restructuring plan still is subject to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes' approval. A trial to confirm the plan is scheduled to start July 24.
MORE: Mich. lawmakers OK Detroit bankruptcy deal
The council voted 8-0 Thursday to approve the DIA asset transfer.
City Council members voiced support for the grand bargain in recent weeks as state lawmakers in Lansing debated legislation to contribute $194.8 million toward the deal. Lawmakers approved the contribution this week, joining charitable foundations and the DIA in helping to fund the arrangement.
Councilwoman Saunteel Jenkins said the council's approval was in line with its support of the grand bargain.
"We were all in Lansing advocating for the bills to be passed, so it would be an interesting turn of events for us to come back and vote no," Jenkins said.
The proposal to transfer the art to a charitable trust is an attempt to shield the art — considered among the city's most significant cultural treasurers — from creditors. Syncora, a bond insurer, is in the midst of an ongoing campaign in court to force the city to consider selling off the museum's prized artwork to pay down debts.
Butch Hollowell, the city's corporation counsel, said the council vote helps protect the art collection.
"This ensures the art collection ... is housed here in the city of Detroit and for the benefit of the people of the city of Detroit and the region and the state," Hollowell said.

I have been reading self-assessment articles for few days. I have been thinking to create a nice graphical representation (Venn diagram) of my skill set (input) along with level of expertise for each skill (input). So for example, let's say I have short-listed 24 skills that I think I possess and I have categorize these skills into three different category giving each skill a rating (between 1 to 5). Now is there a easy way to somehow visually depict this information?
If you have a competency framework to map against, then yes, it can be very straightforward. As an example, the Institute of Information Security Professionals has a list of core competencies that you can be assessed against. A short excerpt is included:
From this example you can see that you have good categorisation of the skills in category A, B, C, D etc. Tools like Excel allow you to build a chart with all these skills grouped by category (and colour-coded) along the x-axis with the rating up the y-axis (but to be honest, asking how to do that certainly isn't a productivity question, but a simple Excel question)
Additionally, a Venn diagram is almost not what you want here - a simple bar chart should meet your needs perfectly.
This might help you. It's a visual representation of a high school transcript. What a person has studied, the distribution over different fields, the depth of the person's studies. Doesn't quite fit, but it's close.
Then, on a related note, I saw that someone had come up with this "value proposition wheel." What value does this startup (but it could be a person) provide. A way of bucketing your own value.
Hope this is helpful.
Since @Rory Alsop provided an excellent framework for quantifiable skills, I'm going to skip that and just discuss the less quantifiable skills...like determination, dedication, etc. I'll call these soft skills for the purpose of this answer.
I work as a freelancer, so selling my soft skills is equally important as selling my knowledge of a particular domain. Typically in a non-freelance position you'll get a performance review that has at LEAST one section on soft skills. I never see anything like that, so I'm instantly at a disadvantage. Do I rate myself? Do I necessarily have the best perception of myself? I'm biased, to say the least.
And there's the key...how can you get an unbiased assessment of soft skills? Ask the people who know. In cases of your performance review, the soft skills section may have a "ranking". I've seen systems where you could get, say, 20 points for flawless soft skills, and 0 points for being a rude, bumbling idiot, and this was factored into a total performance score. If you're employed and see things like that, use that as a metric.
If those things aren't included on a performance review, or, like in my case as a freelancer, never even discussed, you need to be proactive. Here's what I do:
At the end of each job, every client gets an assessment survey. There's a couple "rank from 1 to 5" questions, and a couple freeform "what can we do better" questions. In marketing materials, I often QUOTE these clients to help reinforce the soft skills. If I were to use a chart similar to above, I'd estimate where my aggregate assessment scores fall on whichever scale I'm using, and I'd be prepared to discuss how I arrived at that value with a prospective employer.
Let's imagine that neither case fits your situation. That's where you ask your friends and, more importantly, mentors who tell you what you NEED to hear instead of what you WANT to hear...which friends often do. Create a survey that asks very pointed and specific questions about the soft skills you need assessed. Determination may be one. Your friends may know nothing of your work, but if they saw you get up at 4:00am every day to train for a marathon that you eventually ran and completed, you're going to get higher determination scores than had you decided to run a marathon only to stop training on the first chilly morning. Making three six-year-olds share toys happily is "excellent negotiation skills". Find the people who know you personally and professionally that are willing to rate you honestly.
You'll then have quantifiable values to report. The key is to be able to explaint he methodology to

I want to use Outlook folders to implement GTD so that I don't have to use a separate program.
How can I set up Outlook folders to be GTD lists?
If almost all your open items arrive by email, then it can be advantageous to manage the emails themselves as representing the open items. Outlook folders are somewhat inflexible because you can only view one folder at a time. Instead, if you're using Outlook I would suggest creating custom views that let you select whichever subset of your items you want to look at. Here's how I use Outlook flags, categories, and custom views to manage all my open loops within my Outlook inbox folder.
I. Use flags to mark items open and closed. In Outlook, I click the little red flag on any email that represents an open loop I need to do something about. When I get it done, I click the flag again to turn it into a checkmark.
II. Create a custom view to see the open items. If "Current View" isn't already on your toolbar, go to Tools -> Customize -> Commands -> Views -> Current View and drag it onto the toolbar. Now click Current View -> Define Views -> New, name it
Ok -> Filter -> More Choices -> Only items which are flagged by me -> Ok -> Ok -> Apply View.
Now you're viewing only the items you flagged, as soon as you click the flag to make it a checkmark, the item disappears from the view. It's still in the inbox, of course, and if you need to go back to see it, you can click Current View -> Messages to see all items, then go back to Current View -> 0 - Open Items to return to only flagged items.
III. Use Outlook categories to mark context buckets. Every open item should be put in a context bucket, by giving it a category in Outlook. Different people may need different context buckets depending on their work and their work style. In my case, almost all my work is "on the computer", so I right-clicked the Category column, clicked "All Categories" and created the following categories for myself:
IV. Create a custom view to see the open items in each context bucket. Current View -> Define Views -> New, name it according to the name of the context bucket, Ok -> Filter -> More Choices -> Categories -> (select the category) -> Ok -> and also check "Only items which are flagged by me" -> Ok -> Ok -> Apply View.
This lets me easily switch between viewing different context buckets by clicking Current View. For example, I view the items under "1 - Task", do each task and click the flag to make it disappear. I keep the system working by periodically working through the items in each context bucket.
Extra notes:
EDIT: When I wrote the above, I used custom views. But since then, I have switched to use search folders to do the same thing. Despite their name, search folders aren't like regular folders; you can keep something in your inbox AND have it appear in a search folder. In my case, each search folder is set to a search for only items with an active flag and a particular category. The advantage of search folders is that you can now display your selected buckets in the far upper-left of Outlook, along with recent counts of the number of emails currently in each bucket.
E-mails are not meant to be actionable, thus they aren't GTD tasks on their own.
So, I'm going to assume that you will use the Task system as that's where tasks are meant to be.
Creating a new list of tasks.
Easily create a task from an e-mail.
Drag an e-mail to the Tasks button.
Creating new tasks and putting them into sub folders.
When you click on the Tasks button, you can create new Tasks and put existing tasks into folders.
I recently saw a DACO webinar on the issue (although I use a different mail program). My mail management had been sluggish for a long time due to a conceptual mistake: when a mail required an action, I used to put it in a folder called "1.Actions", and used it right away as a list of actions. The problem is that, usually, the action each mail requires from you is not immediately evident from reading the mail's subject. And an action list must be obvious as if written for a 7-year kid (because sometimes your mental clarity is like that).
¿The solution? The folder in the email program would rather be called "Action support". When you move any mail that requires an action from you to that folder, you figure out very clearly the action ('Mark re: budget' 'draft response to Fred', 'Check out hotel prices for Brian'), AND you register those actions in a list outside the email program (in my case, it is my @computer paper list).
That way, when you're ready to do the action, you can easily refer to the needed mail by going to "Action support". Once you're done, you move the mail you will no longer need to a different folder (you can create folders for particular projects, or manage with a simple "Archive" folder and trust text search). It is also a good practice to revise this "Action support" folder during your weekly review routine, to make sure it is kept current and does not become a 'black hole'.
If you prefer a ready solution rather than hacking-about, there is a commercial Outlook GTD plugin from Netcentrics. I have not used them myself though, so take this with a grain of salt.
folders can be good for holding contexts. What I find invaluable in Outlook is that several emails contain not just action items but also good reference material. I use the categories to create file system that works just as well for electronic filing as a four drawer file cabinet does for paper.
I developed a system called Control Your Day (CYD) using Microsoft Outlook that uses virtual search folders to implement GTD using Outlook. You can find out more about CYD at www.controlyourday.net
I use some VBA code I wrote to mimic a "snooze" feature in Outlook.
Essentially, the VBA makes Outlook work like Inbox by Google. The VBA:

News Release (Back to Menu)
NY Chief Judge Kaye, NJ Dept. of Children & Families Commissioner Ryan to Headline Constitution Day Observance
September 10, 2007 –On Monday, September 17, Rutgers School of Law–Newark will celebrate the 220th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by focusing on how its Street Law Program helps young people to gain a greater understanding of this historic document and become more active citizens. Distinguished speakers from the bench, bar, and public service will address the Street Law Program and Constitution Day Reception, which will take place from 4:00 – 7:30 pm.
Started in 2006 by two first-year law students and modeled after a 35-year-old national program, Rutgers-Newark Street Law sends law students into local high schools and community organizations to teach young people about their legal rights and responsibilities, the basic workings of government, and the legal issues that pervade daily life. The program is headed by Alycia M. Guichard, Supervising Attorney and New Jersey Bar Fellow.
The Constitution Day event, to be introduced by Dean Stuart L. Deutsch, will feature: the Honorable Judith Kaye, Chief Judge of the State of New York, on Constitution Day and the role of Street Law in helping young people learn about their rights and responsibilities under the Constitution; Mary Ellen Tully, president of the New Jersey Bar Foundation, on the Foundation's funding of Street Law; Patrick Campbell, partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, on his long-term involvement with the program; and Kevin Ryan, Commissioner of the NJ Department of Children and Families, on the contribution of law students to helping at-risk youth.

I am writing an essay and must use MLA formatting. I can format the MLA formatting for the speech on the works cited page but I do not know how to form my in-text citations. The whole speech is done my Martin Luther King, Jr. and everything refers to the same speech. Do I have to make a parenthetical notation for the speech each time I quote something? That seems wrong.
For an issue like this, there are other details that become relevant before an appropriate way forward can be found. First, does the speech you are citing span multiple pages in the source text? If so, then it is appropriate to include a parenthetical citation after each quote. Keep in mind, however, that after the initial citation, you no longer have to include the author's name - it is sufficient to cite solely the page number. For example, your first citation would look something like this:
... "this is the first quote" (King, Jr. 201).
While the subsequent citations would look more like this:
... "this is one of the many subsequent quotes from the same source" (204).
This format will hold true until a new source is cited.
Otherwise - if the speech is a single page (or if you are not citing from a text at all, but from, say, a film) - then it would be worthwhile to discuss the issue with your instructor in order to discover how he or she would prefer you to proceed.

Baxter in 13th Following Day One at 49er ClassicMarch 20, 2014
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Anderson University junior Jill Baxter is currently in 13th place following the opening four events of the heptathlon on Thursday at the 49er Classic, hosted by Charlotte at the Irwin Belk Track & Field facility.
The Classic began on Thursday morning, with Baxter recording a height of 1.55 meters in the high jump to earn third place - her highest finish of the day. She finished ninth in the shot put with a distance of 8.57 meters and placed 14th in the 200 meter in a time of 29.50. Her time of 18.97 seconds in the first event of the day – the 100 meter hurdles - was good for 16th and she sits 97 points away from 12th place overall with 2025 total points.
The Denver, N.C. native finished 11th at the Classic a year ago.
Charlotte's Evelyn Putman leads the way with 2716 points. Western Carolina's Holly Gaines is sitting in second place with 2621 total points followed closely by Edinboro's Brianne Dietrich with 2618 points.
Charleston Southern's Kayla Gardner took the top spot in the 100m hurdles with a 14.94 performance. Putman took second the event with a time of 15.02. Edinboro's Dietrich rounded out the top three with a 15.50 performance.
West Virginia Wesleyan's Lauren Cvechko and East Stroudsburg's Theresa Horn tied for the top spot in the second event with clearing 1.58m (5' 2.25) in the high jump. Baxter rounded out the top three with a 1.55m (5' 1) jump.
Cvechko took the top spot in the women's shot put with a mark of 10.55m (34' 7.5). Queens' Mystique Ro finished in second with a toss of 9.55m (31' 4). Dietrich tied for third along with WCU's Gaines, Charlotte's Putman and ESU's Horn with marks of 9.33m (30' 7.5).
WCU's Gaines took the top time in the final event of the day in the women's heptathlon running the 200m in 25.68. Charlotte's Putman took second with a time of 26.19 followed by WCU's Stephanie Burris with a time of 26.23.
The final three events of the women's heptathlon will start Friday at 10 a.m. with the long jump event, while the field events for the team are slated to start at 11 a.m. The running events will begin at 1 p.m. and the three-day event will conclude Saturday afternoon.

When on New Caprica in the Pegasus expansion, can a crisis effect move a player from Detention to the Medical Center? The Cylon players allowed it in the individual instance to try and keep the game running and fun, but we had some doubts about whether or not it is legal to be forced out of Detention simply by a crisis forcing the current player to move someone on New Caprica to the Medical Center.

I'de say no. Even thought the rules don't spell it out explicitly I think it's clear enough.
First, detention and the bring are treated to be the same thing, especially for player powers.
Second, according to the FAQ (page 2, bottom of the first column) nothing can move a player out of the brig except a successful skill check for the brig location action. So by extension this applies to the detention center.
Third, thematically it didn't happen (spoiler follows).
I remember seeing an FAQ somewhere that addressed this. No effect can move a player from detention/the brig short of a political card providing the means for it, or passing the skill check. That's it.
