General Discussion
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare malignant growth characterized by the progressive accumulation of mucus-secreting (mucinous) tumor cells within the abdomen and pelvis. The disorder develops after a small growth (polyp) located within the appendix bursts through the wall of the appendix, and spreads mucus-producing tumor cells throughout the surrounding surfaces (e.g., the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity [peritoneum]). As mucinous tumor cells accumulate, the abdominal area becomes swollen and digestive (gastrointestinal) function becomes impaired. Pseudomyxoma peritonei develops at a variable rate, but may grow at a slower rate (indolent) than other malignancies within the abdomen.

Officers apprehended an inmate from the Otoe County Detention Center about a block away from where he dashed out of the courthouse Monday afternoon.
Trace M. Schmitz, 17, of Nebraska City is suspected of breaking the courthouse door as he bolted from the building.
Witnesses saw him run across Central Avenue and run around the block in the direction of First Avenue.
Jail Administrator Nick Shimmel, responding from radio dispatch, caught up with the teen among the yards south of Nuckoll's Square. Bystanders pointed out the teen's location and he was resting along the street when Shimmel arrived.
He said Schmitz, who was wearing street clothes and had his hands handcuffed to a belt around his waist, surrendered without incident.
Schmitz had appeared in court on a felony burglary charge, where a June 10 preliminary hearing date and $2,500 bond provision were set.
Inmates and others were waiting outside of the courtroom to complete paperwork at the clerk's office.
Schmitz would have been returned to the jail after signing bond information, but left the line and headed down the hallway.
Chief Deputy Mike Holland said there are thousands of court appearances for inmates each year and it is rare to have any incidents.
He said, however, the jail administration is interested in working with the courts to try and minimize the time an inmate waits in the hallway.
Deputy Otoe County Attorney Tim Noerrlinger said he does not know why Schmitz ran from the courthouse, but said Schmitz is familiar with the way the juvenile court operates and was perhaps upset by the way the adult court operates.
Schmitz has 17 juvenile cases in Otoe County, beginning with allegations of misdemeanor assault in 2007.
He was returned to the county court after his apprehension and charged with felony escape and criminal mischief because of the broken courthouse door.
The bond on the new charges was set with a provision of $25,000.
Schmitz was initially arrested after Nebraska City police responded to a burglary report at the Jennifer Mumm and Mark Hand residence at 1620 Third Corso.
A carton of cigarettes, two BB guns, several gold dollars, silver dollars and other coins were stolen.
Police had already taken a report from a convenience store of teens exchanging coins for dollar bills.
Police contacted Schmitz and another teen regarding the burglary and a break-in at the former Morton-House Kitchens factory.

Unanswered: DataItem; given an url download file on tap
Given an url is it possible to download the file by taping on a DataItem?
I have searched through forums and none of the suggestions proposed have worked so far. I'm developing on Android 2.3.6 platform.
window.open() doesn't work and almost any other solution I tried works on my workstation but not on the smartphone.
Any suggestion on how can I do this? Is this issue contemplated or addressed in any future release of Sencha Touch?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately this works only for txt, html and image files. Most of my contents are pdf, docs, ppt, and zip files. And the location.href doesn't work with these files.
Another problem is that the opened files are then visualized fullscreen but no user interaction is possible. The user cannot save the file. He/She can only go back and when he/she does the application is reloaded or the application exists.
Is it possible somehow to perform and ajax call, setting some cookies and download the content locally on the sdcard? Then once the file is downloaded I would need to open it by starting an external application.
That would solve a major problem in my app.

Hi Vegan Dad,
We were going to have boiled spuds untiI saw this post come up just before dinner tonight.
When I saw the lemon juice sizzle and steam I didn't expect the lemon flavour to be taken up by the potatoes. How wrong I was!
I used freshly chopped chives as I didn't have any parsley.
The family loved it and complained and I didn't make enough.
Thanks for another simple but tasty recipe.

I made these last night with Yukon Gold potatoes. Love the lemon, olive oil, parsley flavor. Not sure if it was using Yukon Golds instead of red potatoes, but they kind of fell apart by the time I fried them. Might have been that I boiled them too long. I was a bit distracted while cooking last night.

Lemon and potato is one of my favorite combintations. If you haven't already done this, roast lemon wedges right along with them (after liberally tossing both in olive oil, maybe throw in a few unpeeled garlic cloves). Hea. Ven.

If you have too many lemons did you know you can freeze them?
Cut them up into the size you want, lay them out on a baking sheet and freeze. When they have hardened so they don't stick together put them into a plastic bag.
I take a slice out now and then and put into my glass of water.

Edwin Van Sickle
Edwin E. Van Sickle, age 87, a longtime resident of the Colville area, passed away on July 14, 2011. He was born on May 30, 1924 in Fillmore, Utah, the son of Everett and Clara (Russell) Van Sickle. Ed met his wife of 58 years, Viola (Lindgren) Van Sickle, when they were about 12-years-old, living in Colville. They were married Oct. 23, 1943 in Kent and lived in the Kent and Auburn areas where they raised their five children. Mr. Van Sickle served in the Navy during World War II from 1944-1946. He worked as an auto mechanic at Scarff Motors in Auburn, then later at Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent. He and his partner and long-time friend, Bill Lanway, opened their own business in 1970, Kent General Auto Repair. He retired in 1979 and he and Vi moved back to Colville with their youngest son, Don Van Sickle. Ed enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and being outdoors. He was a talented mechanic and could build or make just about anything. He and Vi began spending winters in Yuma, AZ in 1993. He loved going places in his motor home and continued driving to Arizona every year since then. He had many friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Viola, in 2001. Survivors include his children, Sharon and Darvin Brown, Shelton; Chuck and Gloria Van Sickle, Kent; Steve Van Sickle and Cindy Shockley, Auburn; Shirley and Ben Albertson, Grants Pass, OR; Don and Susi Van Sickle, Colville; 12 grand¬children and 11 great-grandchildren; six nieces and nephews; his sister, Paulette Penney, Redmond, and his companion of seven years, Georgia Seymour and their dog, Missy. A graveside memorial service will be held Saturday, August 20 at 3 p.m. at Mountain View Park Cemetery in Colville. A reception will follow at the house.

A Physicist's Best Friend: CERN Finds the Higgs Boson
The discovery of the Higgs boson marked an important step towards understanding the fundamental laws which underpin the universe. This elusive particle, thought to be at the very root of the existence of mass, has been the focus of experiments carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN on the French-Swiss border.
• Crunch numbers. Process, filter, and analyze petabytes of complex LHC data every year
• Needles in haystacks. Empower scientists to identify the 20 or 30 data points they need to find in millions—using advanced algorithms
• High energy physics computing. The 9,000 servers at the heart of CERN's WLCG are powered by roughly 90,000 cores, the majority of which are powered by Intel® technology, with more than 12,000 belonging to the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family
• Well connected. As part of the equipment used for the interconnects, the CERN part of the computing grid uses Intel® 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards 82599EB to connect disparate servers and support a variety of specialized experiments
• World-class research. Scientists use the computing platform to explore mysteries surrounding the Higgs boson and the Big Bang
• More to come. Ambitious development plans for the LHC will continue to need cutting edge processing technology

Where can I found some resources to learn how to determine the integer points of given elliptic curve? I would like to learn a method based on computing the rank and the torsion group of given curve. Also, how can I determine the integer points if the curve is not on its Weierstrass form?
There are precisely two available "serious" implementations of the standard algorithm for computing integral points on an elliptic curve: a non-free one in Magma (http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/) and a free one in Sage (http://sagemath.org). The one in Sage was done by Cremona and two German masters students a few years ago, and when refereeing the Sage code, I compared the answers with Magma, and uncovered and reported numerous bugs in Magma, which were subsequently fixed. Here's how to use Sage to find all integral (or S-integral!) points on a curve over Q:
and here is how to use Magma:
Note that in both cases by default the points are only returned up to sign. In Sage you get both signs like this:
Finally, you can use Magma for free online here: http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/calc/ and you can use Sage free here: http://demo.sagenb.org/. With Sage, you can also just download it for free and install it on your computer. With Magma, you have to pay between $100 and a few thousand dollars, depending on who you are, and deal with copy protection.
NOTE: Technically a system called SIMATH (http://tnt.math.se.tmu.ac.jp/simath/) had an implementation of computing integral points. But it was killed by our friends at Siemens Corp.
Just in case anyone is still reading: the tool of the trade are elliptic logarithms. A lot of people have worked on making this effective, but two recent articles pointing you in the right direction are
Gebel, Pethö and Zimmert have used this method for finding all integer points on Bachet-Mordell curves $y^2 = x^3+k$ for all small values of $k$, for example.
There are problems ahead if the curve is not in Weierstrass form since the transformation from a genus 1 curve to a curve in Weierstrass form does not preserve integrality. I do not remember whether you can find anything useful in the textbook
but would be surprised if you couldn't.
I would recommend Silverman & Tate's "Rational Points on Elliptic Curves", I'm pretty sure you'll find what you're looking for there.

Does anyone know an explicit, exact description of the eigenforms of the Laplacian on a non-flat two-torus?
This is not so much an answer as a few remarks and a caution. If I understand your request correctly, I think that it is unlikely that you are going to find a truly explicit example.
First, let me remark that, since we are considering a compact, oriented surface $T^2$, it would be enough to know all of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on $0$-forms, since, by the Hodge decomposition theorem, for positive eigenvalues $\lambda$, any eigenfunction of the Hodge Laplacian on $2$-forms with eigenvalue $\lambda$ would be of the form $\ast f$ where $f$ is a $\lambda$-eigenfunction, and any eigenform of degree $1$ with eigenvalue $\lambda$ would be of the form $df_0 + \ast d f_1$ for some $f_0$ and $f_1$ that are $\lambda$-eigenfunctions.
Second, if we assume that the metric is given in the form $g = F(z) dz\circ d\bar z$ where $F$ is a positive, $L$-periodic function on $\mathbb{C}$, then this metric will have nonconstant Gaussian curvature if and only if $F$ is not constant. In any case, a $\lambda$-eigenfunction will be an $L$-periodic function $f$ on $\mathbb{C}$ that satisfies $$ 4f_{z\bar z} + \lambda F f = 0. $$ So you are asking for a method of explicitly describing all of the $L$-periodic solutions of this equation. I am not aware of any positive, nonconstant $F$ for which this is known.
If you go down a dimension and ask for the list of positive, $\pi$-periodic functions $F$ on the real line for which all of the $\pi$-periodic solutions of $$ f''(x) + \lambda F(x) f(x) = 0 $$ are explicitly known for each $\lambda>0$, I think you will find that this list is very short. It makes me suspect that, in the $2$-dimensional case, the list is not longer.

Crashes when loading Resource
Architect Build tested:
- Build: 678
Project Type:
- ExtJS 4.x (Did not test a Touch project)
I have a fairly large number of JS and CSS files to include by hand in Resources. Several times now I have started typing the path for a file, but I often forget the complete file path. For example, I tend to forget if the path is resources/to/theme/file.css or resources/to/themes. I often switch (using alt+tab) to another program where I can find the full path to the new file. When I switch, the path entered in the url field (of the resource I'm creating) is incomplete. In my case, it is often part of the relative path with no file (yet). When I do this, it appears like Architect is attempting to read the file, then it throws an exception notice and crashes.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Add a new CSS or JS Resource
- Start typing a path in the URL field but don't complete it.
- Switch to any other program
The result that was expected:
- Nothing
The result that occurs instead:
- Crashes
Screenshot, Project, or Video:
- not provided
Possible fix:
- not provided
Operating System:
- Win 8 Pro 64-bit
31 Jan 2013 8:19 AM #2
I've encountered this problem also when I tried to add a existing css file under my project's resource folder to Architect. If I add a new css file, give it a id and url, and then save it, it won't crash.

I'll get back w/ more info soon.
Also I'm considering adding a feature that if you drop files into a local directory named resources Architect will pick them up and add them as resources to the project. Does this sound like a good features?Phil Strong

Ducati Diavel 2012
Ducati rules the reign of sports bikes with its beastly designs and aggressive engines; Ducati Diavel is one of those beastly bikes! Ducati bikes are considered as one of the toughest bikes that were ever put together. The design of the Ducati Diavel 2012 is immensely muscular and revolting. On the contrary, the ergonomics of the bike have been made to compete against other bikes of its class.

Why is 1:1 desirable for a macro lens? I know it means that you can print a picture of something and it will be the same size on paper as it is in real life, but why is this such a desirable feature over, say, a lens that magnifies even more?
You're close on what 1:1 means but slightly off. A 1:1 macro lens means that the size of the subject is projected onto the sensor (or film) at the exact same size it is in real life. You can blow up the print as large as you like :)
The ability to go to 1:1 is just a metric and there are a lot of compromises that come with being able to enlarge a subject to 1:1 the most obvious one being focusing speed since there is a larger range (distance) over which the lens can focus. There are lenses that go even closer, the MP-E 65 goes from 1:1 to 5:1 magnification, its a manual focus only lens though :)
The 1:1 designation means that the image of a subject projected onto the sensor (or film) is the same size on the sensor as real life, and is the minimum magnification to classify as true macro. There are lenses that do magnify more, such as Canon's MP-E 65 which can magnify images between 1 and 5 times their real-world size.
The benefit of 1:1 magnification is that you can truly enlarge and enhance real-world detail in print. This is in contrast with normal lenses, which often only magnify 0.15x, or 1:6. A print would need to be enlarged six times to present the same amount of detail as a 1:1 lens...assuming you could resolve that amount of detail in the first place.
There is nothing specifically desirable in a 1:1 magnification for macro. This is just a convention, where, as pointed out in Rowland's answer, to designate a "true" macro lens.
This does not mean that a lens with 1:0.9 max magnification cannot do a good macro work (if you can find such lens). I guess it depends on what exactly is it that you want to shoot. Depending on your subject's size, relative to the sensor's size, you can choose lenses with different max magnification.
Generally speaking, for insects, a 1:1 is a good bet. For insect eyes or sugar grains (...) an MP-E 65 may be better. For flowers, OTOH, a non-"real" macro lens can do decent work as well.

Description: We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. It's great to be Spider-Man. For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen. But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro, Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

This forum has been weak from an administrative stand point from day 1. I selected it because it was relatively easy to manage from a non-techie stand point and the price was right - FREE! But it remains weak and our last upgrade to v2 of SMF brought with it a few bugs.
Now that we have Derek on our team we've been looking for and found a much more powerful system. Complex on the inside but simple to use on the outside. So now our members and guests will enjoy a much more robust forum.
Our new forum has actually been completed with threads and member data already moved. Few tweaks are still needed such as image tags, quotes tags, links, etc. and working the layout and skin while muddling through the labyrinth of 100's of administration tools.
Before we launch the new forum I wanted to ask all members, with emphasis to those that participate on a regular basis, what features if any would you like to see in the new forum?
All ideas and suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

8 Species That Are Threatening to Swarm the Globe
As human beings, if there's one thing we're really, really good at, it's driving species to extinction. You're probably doing it right now, without even trying. So it's paradoxical that there are some species out there that we just can't exterminate, and not for want of trying. These creatures breed out of control and march steadily forth, taking human territory miles at a time. So while you're sitting there, calmly reading things on the Internet ...
#8. Zebra Mussels Are Choking the Rivers
What happens when a creature can produce one million eggs a year? This.
They all have names, and at least 40,000 are called Dave.
Those are zebra mussels. They invaded the USA by hitching rides in the ballast water of Russian ships, and once they hit the rivers in the U.S., they spread rapidly, dominating the Great Lakes. So what's the big deal? It's not like they bite or anything. Well, zebra mussels only do one thing, but it turns out that they're really, really good at it: They stick.
Sailors call them "Congressmen of the Sea."
All they need is a hard surface that stays still for 20 seconds, and they'll superglue themselves right on that shit, covering boats, anchors, motors, lobsters, turtles and even other mussels. Those who can't grab hold of anything wind up washing up by the tons on beaches.
This isn't just inconvenient for turtles who suddenly find themselves weighed down in a sticky mussel flash mob -- the cost to us is catastrophic. In 1989, for example, a city in Michigan lost its water supply for three days because the mussels had crammed themselves into the pipe, cementing it shut.
"We're going to need all the Drano."
Since then, millions of dollars have been spent each year attempting to control the legions of mussels, but we can only slow them down. They can't be eradicated with chemicals without contaminating the water supply, and they multiply too quickly to remove by hand.
In short, these mussels are kicking our asses, which is pretty good for an animal that doesn't know how to move or do anything.
It's like a sit-in protest against the whole of humanity.
#7. Cownose Rays Are Storming the Beaches
What you're looking at up there is a picture of thousands upon thousands of cownose rays taken by Florian Schulz, the CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Year in 2010. While up close it looks like it would fit right in as an ancillary character in a movie about a cartoon clownfish ...
Voiced by Cameron Diaz.
... what these animals lack in intimidation they more than make up for in Persians-at-Thermopylae-style invasion numbers.
Ever since humans were considerate enough to overfish their main predators (sharks), the cownose ray population has exploded like a meth lab all over the east coasts of the American continents from New England to Brazil, and have established a presence on the African west coast. Wherever they go, they devastate the local oysters, clams and scallops, as well as the industries that rely on them.
It's like an Escher painting come alive.
In an attempt to encourage stingray murder while also trying to come up with a replacement for the decimated shellfish crop, Virginia state officials had a novel idea: Put the rays on the menu. They renamed the cownose ray the more delectable "Chesapeake ray" (because who would ever want to eat a cow), and hyped the critters as having a taste similar to veal. Cooking demonstrations were held and recipes were promoted by famous chefs, but results were described as "less than impressive."
People are picky about what planet-engulfing creatures they want to eat.
Well, shit, what are we going to do about these massive swarms of rays, then? Looks like it's time for science to finally breed those megasharks the SyFy network has been promising us.
#6. Water Chestnuts Are Killing the Lakes
In the late 1800s, a Harvard botanist decided to import some European water chestnut for his personal garden. You would think that, if anyone should know better, it would be a Harvard botanist. You'd think wrong. Within a couple of years, the plant found its way into the Charles River in Massachusetts, where it established a home base and commenced world domination.
At least they left us some.
The water chestnut doesn't sound threatening, but it's nothing less than the Roman Empire of plant species. It covers every square inch of the water with a canopy so dense that boats can't push through it. This blocks all sunlight from reaching the lake bed, which kills the native plant life, which in turn kills the fish. All of this watery death creates a nice, decomposing stew of horrors that the water chestnut just loves to eat.
Not a golf course.
And so it grows. And oh man does it grow. One acre of the chestnut can turn into 100 acres in under a year. Give it another year, and everything is dead. The only way that you can combat it is to wade through the water, pulling the individual plants out by hand. And you have to do it quickly enough that you get all the plants before they go to seed. If you miss that deadline, then every plant you just neglected your family for a year to pull out of the ground is going to sprout right back up again.
Did we mention that they're covered all over with sharp barbs? Because they're covered with sharp barbs.
Kristine Paulus
That look like the jaws of a Predator.
The water chestnut is currently expanding its empire throughout the northeastern United States and parts of Canada. The only thing keeping us alive is that it hasn't yet found a way to live outside of the water. But just you wait. There will come a morning when the sun won't rise, and then you'll know.
Don't try to save them. They're already dead.
#5. Formosan Termites Destroyed a Major City
That's not rain below -- those are Formosan termites. But if you know termites, you know that the real problems don't come when they're whizzing around in the air -- it's when they settle down to start eating buildings.
"Just pretend it's something wholesome, like acid rain."
And, where a regular termite colony will usually eat about 7 pounds of wood per year, a colony of Formosan termites, which came to the U.S. from Asia at the end of World War II, will eat about 1,000 pounds. And they don't stop there. If they get thirsty, they can chew through concrete or plastic to get to water, which often results in exploding pipes. While other termite colonies may be made up of hundreds of thousands, Formosan termite colonies can number in the millions. And once they're established, they've never been successfully eradicated.
"Sup. We like your basement. Oh by the way, you have a basement now."
And get this: After the levees in New Orleans failed when Hurricane Katrina hit, victims sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the disaster. But some scientists say there should have been other defendants in the case. Because five years before the dikes were breached, a college professor named Gregg Henderson discovered Formosan termite tunnels throughout the seams of the dike. After the flooding was over, he went back and examined the flood walls of London Avenue Canal, where two major breaks had occurred, and found that 70 percent of the seams had termite holes. Which would make the Formosan termite the only known insect that can actually destroy a major city.
Clearly the government's attempt to get them the hell out of New Orleans in 1998, Operation Full Stop, was completely ineffective against the first wave of termite warfare.
When termites construct support beams, they effectively own the house.
Now property damage has become an issue of national safety. And the only way we can fight them is with these silly looking fumigation circus tents (you don't want to breathe the kind of chemicals it takes to kill these bastards), which really only drive the termites away, because it makes them think clowns are going to show up.

I think you are seeing the pre-flight OPTIONS request when Cross-Origin Resource Sharing or cross site scripting...
I suspect your web page serving the JS is not on port 3000 - but your Ajax call is...

Anyone can recognize the current Wordpress backend, but I don't want that. I want to change it using my own design and I want to have a seamless navigating experience for my users. How can I change the dashboard appearance? I googled a lot of posts and questions, and it seems like you can only change the CSS of most things and some people were using hooks to add their own code and what not.
I use a custom include file that I created to modify the dashboard. Some of the hooks and filters are commented out by default but most of the stuff is here to remove menus, change wp logos, remove meta boxes, remove dashboard widgets, etc...
There is indeed little information available on how to customize the Dashboard. Lately I have been looking around too and have bookmarked a few of what seem to have good tips.
Have you had a look at these threads?
You can modify the look and feel of the administration area either via CSS or creating a plugin to do more. There are some really nice admin themes out there that make it less generic.
Fluency is an admin theme that I have found is a nice replacement.
Details on how to create the admin themes can be found in the codex here
what you described above sounds right. Check out the link below

How do I add custom variables to the wordpress query without having to hit the database twice. In the example below I want to add some meta filters. All this code works fine but I have been running query_posts() to execute it. I want to be able to add to the query before it is run by default so I don't have to query the db twice.
In this I was hoping if I modify $wp_query->query before it is executed my changes would be added to the query. The query is being changed fine, just not the output. Any ideas? Thanks.
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_custom_query');
function my_custom_query(){
if(isset($_SESSION['size']) && $_SESSION['size'] != 'all'){
$cfilter[] = array( 'key' => 'cc_size', 'value' => $_SESSION['size'] );
if(isset($_SESSION['gender']) && $_SESSION['gender'] != 'all'){
$cfilter[] = array( 'key' => 'cc_gender', 'value' => $_SESSION['gender'] );
$extraArgs = array(
'orderby' => 'post-title',
'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
if(!empty($cfilter)){ $extraArgs['meta_query'] = $cfilter; }
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->query = array_merge( $wp_query->query, $extraArgs );

A Missouri man was sentenced to nearly 27 years in prison for killing a Kansas man during a botched robbery attempt.
Twenty-three-year-old Rickey R. Smith was sentenced Wednesday to 26 years and 10 months in prison for second-degree murder in the shooting death of 21-year-old Ryan Bailey in October 2011.
Smith was one of four Joplin men charged in Bailey's death. In a plea deal in January, Smith admitted that he shot Bailey during an attempted robbery at Bailey's home in Pittsburg.
Oscar C. DeLeon Jr. and Randu Rivera, both 19, pleaded guilty in April to second-degree murder and were each sentenced to 14 years and four months in prison.
The Joplin Globe reports (http://bit.ly/QuR1Bt ) the fourth defendant, Nathan D. Whitney, is being held in Missouri in a different case.

STEUBENVILLE - The Jefferson County Port Authority appears ready to become the lead economic development agency, with two county commissioners indicating their financial support for the fledgling agency and offering low rent office space at the Jefferson County Airpark.
County Commissioner Thomas Graham said during the Tuesday morning meeting the port authority can expect the commissioners to look to the port authority to be the economic development engine in Jefferson County.
"That is why we created a port authority. The port authority can do more than the Community Improvement Corp. And at some point we will have to look at legal methods for turning the industrial park on state Route 43 over to the port authority," Graham said.
Graham and Commissioner Tom Gentile both said during the two-and-a-half-hour meeting the commissioners anticipate stopping funding to the CIC and Progress Alliance and providing up to $100,000 for the port authority in January.
"With Ed Looman's resignation as executive director of Progress Alliance, this seems like the right time to shift the funding to the port authority. We will be sending funding to the port authority annually until the authority becomes self sufficient," added Graham.
Looman submitted his resignation as executive director of Progress Alliance last month to accept a job with the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth as project manager for Jefferson and seven other counties in Eastern Ohio.
"We have not voted on the funding yet, but that is our intention. We will vote on funding for the port authority after we approve our county budget either later this month or in early January. And Tom (Graham) and I will do everything we can to expedite the application that will allow the authority to become nonprofit. If you need an accountant to complete the 501 (c) 3 application. I will talk to local accountants I know," remarked Gentile.
The authority members unanimously approved plans to advertise for an executive director and staff and to create a search committee to interview candidates interested in the jobs.
"You may want to discuss a job description of the executive director with Looman," suggested Graham.
And the nine authority members agreed to hold their Jan. 8 meeting at the Jefferson County Airpark terminal.
"I have been looking at different sites that have office space and a telephone system. It seems stupid to spend money on office space when we can look at the airpark. I am prepared to go to the commissioners' meeting Thursday and formally request office space in the terminal," said authority member Geary Bates.
"The airport authority is aware of the interest in office space there. The phone system there is compatible with the county phone systems. It wouldn't take a lot to add a couple lines there. But we would have to vote on approving this," explained Gentile.
"We may need a contract with the airport authority. And we will probably want something from the Federal Aviation Administration that it is OK to rent out office space in the terminal for a nominal fee," said Graham.
The authority had been meeting at the Historic Fort Steuben Visitors Center.
In other business at the meeting, the port authority met in a 22-minute executive session with Graham, Gentile and local businessman John Riley to discuss the sale of property.
The authority then met with Graham, Gentile, Steubenville City Manager Cathy Davison and Steubenville Mayor Domenick Mucci for a 57-minute executive session to discuss personnel.
During the public part of the monthly meeting, authority member Mark Teramana reported a meeting with the CIC officials went well.
"The CIC wants to create an entity to work together and then merge together into a port authority in the future," said Teramana.
The authority members nominated Jay Zatta to remain as chairman, Teramana as vice chairman, Debbie Venci as secretary and Edward Florak as treasurer for 2013.
The authority will vote on the nominations in January.
Looman also reported on several pending developments in the county and promised to remain available to the port authority during a transition period.
The port authority held its initial meeting in August after Steubenville Council and Jefferson County commissioners each appointed for members. The ninth member was appointed by the Jefferson County Regional Planning Commission.

I just built the Maersk train, what an amazing model! I did a little research and found that it was released in 2011 and the Emerald Night was released in 2009. Given the two year gap it seems reasonable to assume there will be new train in 2013. Does Lego have a schedule or patterns for this kind of thing?
With the exception of evergreen themes like CITY and Duplo, it's not easy to predict when sets are released. Based on trends of the last 11 years, I've included the last 20 train sets that have been released in a table:
At least one train set has been released each year apart from the year 2008. The table marks an average of 1.66 train sets per year. It's fair to assume that a new train set will be released in 2012 or 2013.
Duplo, accecories, motors and track sets not included. I've included the Western Train Chase from the Toy Story theme, The Constitution Train Chase from The Lone Ranger theme and The Ghost Train from the Monster Fighters theme which you may wish to exclude as anomalies. The right-most column marks which sets were sold with track.
Set data gathered from Brickset.
Check the new Creator "Advanced" set : 10233 Horizon Express
There is a new cowboy set based on the lone ranger film coming out this year-summer 2013, looks really good for younger generation but thats it for the moment- not really a afol kit as such. info came from brickset- there were some pictures too, i think the article was about three months ago.
The Red Cargo Train is the most recent train set released after the Maersk Train

If I delete Sparrow set up to use gmail via imap, does Sparrow have any local mail files? Or is everything on the server?
I.e., if I uninstall sparrow, can I delete all Sparrow directories safely?
closed as unclear what you're asking by bmike♦ Jul 3 '13 at 12:19
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
In general, you probably want to use something like CleanApp for this, but for Sparrow you can actually get this form the App itself.
In the Help menu on Sparrow, you'll see a couple of items "Show Log Folder" and "Show Data Folder". The latter is the local cache of your emails, the former may or may not actually do anything (e.g. if Sparrow's not generated any logs).
There are a few other small files around the place (like preferences), but that Data folder is probably the only one big enough to worry about (e.g. mine is ~1.3 GB). The preferences/etc will likely be a few kB; again, something like CleanApp is what you should be using if you're that fanatical about removing files (;
Bear in mind that if you're using Sparrow for POP3 mail, and deleting emails off the server, this might be your only copy of said emails (i.e. if you don't have another client or another account hosting them).
best to remove accounts first from the sparrow preferences tab! I switched to airmail :)

For the first time in 17 years, it seems I can make plans for Labor Day weekend.
As was announced earlier this week, the Muscular Dystrophy Association announced an agreement for the ABC network to air its "Show of Strength." It's the latest in a string of changes for the annual fundraising event in recent years. Two years ago, the show scaled back from 12 hours on Labor Day to six hours the Sunday night before. Last year, we produced a three-hour, prime-time program for Sunday night, with our local segments pre-recorded. (We still held a watch party so we could get together with the local families!)
The change this year, though, means the telethon will leave WIBW-TV. By way of background, MDA's annual event aired on what it called its "Love Network." MDA negotiated individually with stations in each television market to air the telethon. The stations would give up whatever their network's regular programming was for the day in order to air MDA's show. That is why we'd move U.S. Open Tennis to MyTV! In recent years, the number of stations comprising the Love Network had shrunk.
The ABC agreement means MDA's Show of Strength will air in all markets across the country - it will be THE program for all ABC stations that night. It will give MDA maximum exposure for its services, families and sponsors.
I understand the business side of the move. It makes me sad personally, but I understand. All non-profit organizations are faced with the reality of today's economy and must take the actions it deems appropriate.
The children, adults and families I've met through MDA over the years have been very special to me. As this era comes to an end, I want them all to know how they have touched my heart with their strength, dedication and courage. I truly am a better person for having had you all as part of my life. That will never change.
I hope the new affiliates to the Love Network will embrace you the way we have - and I hope the community will not waiver in its support. MDA is about more than one emcee and one television station and one night. It is about families who live with neuromuscular diseases 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. They are what it is all about. You can agree or disagree with MDA's decision regarding the Show of Strength, but don't lose sight of the ultimate goals - in the short term, to ensure these families never lose hope and, in the long term, to one day say, "We have a cure."
Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the effort.

Do restaurants where you live have policies like this?
We are having a going away luncheon for someone at the office tomorrow. It was initially planned at a somewhat expensive steak and BBQ restaurant. We have about 40 people attending, and we usually spend about $15 plus tax and tip each when we go there. Bear in mind you can get great meals all over town for $5-8 here, so that's a pricey lunch for us. They just called and told us that they would be charging us $50 for the use of their party room, and restricting us to three menu choices, starting at $22 each. We are ditching them and moving the luncheon to a less expensive steak and burger place. To me, it seems crazy for a restaurant to charge rent to people coming in to dine, and then also to restrict them to the most expensive dishes on the menu. The restaurant business here is extremely competitive, and although this is a very well established place I would think in this economy any restaurant would welcome a $600 Thursday business luncheon with two weeks notice to prepare..

I've never attempted to organize an event like the one you describe but I definitely applaud your decision to go elsewhere. I would also leave a review on Yelp to alert other potential customers of this ridiculous policy.
I have heard of places doing this. Whenever you call ahead for a big party, some restaurants have designated "Party rooms" for big groups/ business meetings. To make it extra fancy (expensive) they'll sometimes have select (limited) menus.
I've seen this with a few good/ upscale places. It isn't terribly uncommon. Odd that they would force it on you, though.
Wow. I'm glad you didn't give them your business!
I think many places have policies similar to that, but for WAY less. Think of it as a wedding reception. They're covering gratuity for the waiters, and having extra people on hand. A limited menu choice is pretty common too, it makes it easier on the chefs for the added amount of guests. But I do think the calling you last minute and charging you extra is definitely an issue; probably common practice for that restaurant, right along the lines of bait and switch. This is why you should always sign a contract first when planning an event. Most places I have been to for luncheons just require you to meet a minimum amount of guests for $XX each and will not charge you for using their room if you meet the minimum. I'd say $15-20 each for lunch is fair, when you get to dinner it gets more expensive.
I put together a group of 60 people for a dinner a few years back. Chili's was the only place that wouldn't charge me for a "party" deal. They just blocked off half their restaurant and did orders as if we were normal customers. I just made sure that every table tipped at least 20% at the end as a thank you.
You would think, since you are guaranteed to bring them a set amount of customers that they would cut you a break. And if they do a good job, they may have people come back gaining more potential customers. I guess the restaurant business doesn't function that way.
I do get that it is a HUGE flood of orders coming in all at one time, but that's why you call ahead so they know to staff the kitchen a bit heavier that day/night.
If they have that policy, they should have told you up front. If I was just called, like you say you were, I'd also not go there. And, I would do as was suggested and leave a review on Yelp/TripAdvisor saying what happened.
I'm sure some places do have policies like this. Or, something similar. Maybe a little extra cost for a room, which maybe covers for an extra staff member to come in. Or, whatever. But, you should be told when you make the reservation, or within 24 hours of doing so.
My wife does this several times a year for her company's luncheons and occasional breakfasts, and it's always- always- at one of the area hotels' restaurants. She encountered games like this a few years ago at the restaurant they were trying use( the retiree's favourite) and went back to using hotels. They just behaved more professionally.
Ah, recession. Their business must be booming if they can afford to drive customers away.
@mnemosynescall: My town has had the good fortune to have more or less skipped the recession. We've never been a rich town, but between Mexican nationals coming over here to flee the violence and the army base tripling in size over the past couple of years, we are actually having a housing boom. We have only a 1.4% vacancy rate, they are building houses as fast as they can. I know several people who listed their house and sold it for the asking price in less than a week, sometimes for cash when dealing with Mexican nationals. Local businesses in general are doing as well as they ever have. But we have a lot of restaurants. 1,550 in the Yellow Pages, and probably at least that number if not more hole in the wall mom and pop places that don't advertise at all. That's about 1 restaurant per 200 people here. As you might guess, a lot of them don't make it. So it surprises me to see even a well-established place act so foolishly.
I've worked at a place like this and while it seems very anti-customer, they are actually protecting themselves. We would have people call and reserve the dining room months in advance only to have them cancel at the last minute or come with half or fewer people than planned. Not only do we need to buy more food, but we had to have 4 or 5 waiters on hand just for that party. If you don't show up we lose big time. Plus they are turning other potential customers away while preserving your reservation, so there is nothing wrong with both parties having some skin in the game.
Plus huge parties can wipe out the entire kitchen and ruin the meal planning for days, which is why they limited your menuoptions. Go with a place that is set up to handle your gathering
@Ryanwb I would argue the "wiping the entire kitchen". I would imagine that a larger party would stay longer than your average table. So the kitchen, would in fact, sell less food than normal because they would see fewer customers over all. Assuming that the restaurant would be busy either way.
@ryanwb: Odd, I believe that's where a deposit comes in, usually one large enough to hurt the attendee, but also enough to cover basic costs.
I could understand a deposit, but a "party room" fee seems to be a little over the top IMHO. The "Mom and Pop"s more than likely would love to see you at no extra expense, especially with previous notice.
@bogie21: The problem is when you get 40 orders, all at the same time, with the general expectation that they're going to come out, if not all at once, then with a very short interval between them. This is death for a kitchen. And anyone else in the restaurant is going to have to get in the queue behind these 40 orders (which is treated as a single order for all intents and purposes). I used to deal with this all the time when people would come into our restaurant with 15-20 "to go" orders and it'd bury the kitchen and the people actually sitting in the restaurant would have to wait an extra 20 to 30 minutes for this one large order to get filled. I used to have to tell people we'd serve them but it'd be an hour. That's not good for business.
We'll occasionally get the "prix fixe" menu for groups. Yeah we got 40 people coming in on a Wednesday nite. It's way easier on all of us to have a set price, a choice of four entrees, no ups or extras; other than drinks of course. The kitchen is faster, the service is easier, and we're all happier.
We've run into a few of the "other" kind- no more than once.
One place has real good lasagne. So that's all we get. They make huuge trays, we eat them. They make profit, we make pigs. I'm not spending an hour out of three I have avail on a school nite waiting for hurriedly prepared food- or eating junk along the way and just sitting there drinking coffee.
I worked at a place that did something similar with restricting the menu and charging per person. We didn't charge for a party room, but many others do. They are not trying to be rude in restricting the menu. If they are a small/medium sized restaurant it would make sense for them to do this. Raising the price like that though isn't cool. That is a lot of money for them.
Regardless of if one thinks this is justified or not, I am very pleased that @moondrake used the appropriate response in a free market economy to precieved abuses on the part of a vendor: take one's business elsewhere.
If sufficient numbers of customers view this an being unreasonable and can find a suitable substitution (there is sufficient elasticity in demand for that particular product) they will be forced to change the policy.

LAPD investigates abuse disclosures
I don't suppose detectives from the LAPD will put up for the redactions that obscure important passages in the documents the Archdiocese of Los Angeles released concerning its handling of clergy sexual abuse. According to reports from the Los Angeles Times and other news organizations, police are going through the records to see if any cases can be prosecuted.Police said they will investigate whether there was a failure to report crimes - a probe that would have to include the chancery. The Associated Press quoted the LAPD's detective commander:
Now whats being alleged is a failure to report, those kinds of things, so theres a new emphasis its not just the person thats accused of the behavior, but if its also if it was not properly reported, said Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese, who heads the detective bureau.Were taking a fresh look on cases weve already handled to make sure we dont have reporting issues that got past, he said.
Previously, the U.S. attorney's office took a run at investigating the archdiocese, but brought no charges. The feds were reportedly investigating for violations of the federal "honest services" law - at least until the U.S.Supreme Court reined in the use of that statute.Law enforcement officials have a great deal of discretion about the kinds of cases they prosecute. When public outrage persists, they will respond. I think that's what is happening in various parts of the country. Had the church cleaned house and immediately demoted those bishops who made some very bad decisions, we probably wouldn't be seeing these criminal investigations now.

Mr. Moses - given that the release was contested for 5+ years after the settlement; that the retired judge permitted redactions but was later overturned, some are stating that the archdiocese may still have legal recourse in terms of further appeals - state of CA supreme court, etc.?Any information on that?
Hi, Mr. deHaas. I don't think so, but can't answer your question for sure. The issue of disclosure has already been to the California Supreme Court, which declined to grant an individual priest's attempt to block release of records.
Let's not overlook contempt of court for a unilateral decision not to release all LA documents even now, some of which are known to exist.Also, there may be some creative First Amendment challenges up some sleeves --- as when Mahony invented a "formation privilege" before. He kept disclosure at bay through two years past his retirement after all. How committed is Gomez after spending two years himself blocking releases? Why has he apparently kept some documents back?The most clever move was when the judge reviewing documents for release a few years after the settlement recused himself. Why? Because he accepted an award from the church.
Just announced - appears that the archdiocese has conceded that not all of the documents were released; that redactions were kept in place that should have been removed, etc. Will be interesting to see the additions.Carolyn - realize that this post is about LA legal folks reviewing cover-up but am also very concerned that these documents create an internal church discussion about:- seminaries (the USCCB has a committee that is looking into *national* seminaries. Why? Reduced vocations; realization that maintaining seminaries and staffs is expensive; fact that staff need to be trained, experienced, and skilled (the released documents indicate that formation staff consistently passed candidates on to ordination despite increasing post ordination issues; candidates with questionnable sexual behaviors; etc. Need much better control, expertise, and actual guidelines that are implemented by competent personnel with oversight, QI, feedback, etc. Seminary staffs are too often unaccountable or measured only by number of ordinations (that is a scary thought).- formation staff (need to realize that isolated clerical seminaries with little to no input from lay staff, lay experts, etc. created some of these issues). Review of the 124+ files and you note the large number of clerics from small, almost unknown religious communities. Begs the question - what was the level of formation, its competence, etc. - foreign clerics or 1st generation clerics Again, quick review and you see the numbers of substantiated clerical abusers who were foreign (unintended consequence of needing clerical manpower is to accept clerics with little screening, knowledge, or cultural development leading to issues). 1st generation - quick review indicates a concern about candidates who were 1st generation. Is there a pattern? Are there issues/situations that create tensions, acting out behaviors?- ordination approval - some of the files indicate the seminary attended but no information about rector, staff identified, formation directors? How often did a bishop over-rule the seminary recommendation and ordain a candidate? How often did a candidate's formation process show constant changes - 2 or 3 different seminaries attended (thus, making it more difficult for formation staff to get to know and identify psychological issues). How much pressure was on to ordain even when there were significant personal issues involved? Concern that some of the religious community clerics reported to2-3 different provincials (nature of communities that elect or change every 3-4 years). And as you say - if Mahony's *formation privilege* is defended, then these types of questions will not be asked; much less explored. How will we learn from this?
THE important point, Bill. Is anyone truly interested in learning?
I look foreward to the missing 18,000 documents with interest
Re: foreign clerics on the list I note how many on the list have Irish names and are from Ireland. Also, another factor which I am not in a position to know: How many of those priests are from eastern dioceses? There is a rumor, which may have some basis in fact that the large prominent dioceses in the east farmed out their troublemakers to western dioceses.
Helen - don't want to sound like a bigot but the story of the *FBI* in the US Catholic Church will some day be written. It is a bittersweet story e.g. dramatic and significant *brick and mortar* expansions led by 1st generation Irish bishops; tremendous growth especially in the South and West led, again, by Irish priests and bishops.But, like life itself, underneath there was a current of the Irish guilt, blame, and scrupulosity that impacted tens of thousands of Catholics. It also built a mindset in which clericalism and a top down church ruled supreme. FBI was a sarcastic label used by many priests who ran into the Irish hierarchy - bishop, monsignors, consultors, etc. who were predominantly Irish in some dioceses (think Boston, Chicago, NYC, NJ). The US Church depended upon clerical vocations/priests from Ireland to staff new dioceses in the South (think Biloxi, some Florda dioceses, some Texas dioceses) especially in the 1940s-50s.Another sarcastic judgment often levelled was that FBI clerics were escaping the limited and poor economic situations of Irish dioceses - by coming to the US, they automatically lived an upperclass lifestyle.And, yes, you have deduced from the files that some were sent to escape abuse claims and to avoid scandal or gardai. The same is true for dioceses such as Boston, Worster which recycled abusived priests to LA, Orange, SF, Phoenix, Tucson, etc. (it is not a rumor - the files provide actual evidence of this movement)
I don't like to disparage the FBI completely since I know quite a few great Irish-born priests from my time 22 years in Florida.But, someone quipped: "The Irish priests came to do good and they did very well."
Helen - here is one book and a description from Tom Doyle:http://www.richardsipe.com/Books_of_Note/rigert.htmlHave the book and have read it a couple of times. IMO, not well written and makes connections that just aren't there but the scope and intent are interesting approaches.
Helen - you might also enjoy and link to the Irish catholic culture with this just posted article by Fr. Komochak:http://jakomonchak.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/atonement-love-not-suffer... quotes:God loves victims, requires victims. It is His way. Did He not make His divine Son Jesus Christ a victim? And no one was more pleasing to God the Father than Jesus, His Son; and yet He was the great victim. The Blessed Virgin was another victim, he went on, pierced by the seven-edged sword of sorrow, and so were the martyrs who poured out their blood for the faith. What does this prove? he asked the people. It proves that God loves victims; that he wants victims in order to appease His anger against a guilty and fallen race. He chose His victims, but chose them kindly and mercifully. He chose them in His goodness from those that were well prepared in a good moment. [The Catholic Churches of New York City, ed. John Gilmary Shea (New York: Goulding, 1878) 301-303]How comforted his people were by Fr. Langcakes words we cannot know, of course; it could very well be that they were not unfamiliar with a God as harsh as the conditions of their existence in the world of nineteenth-century Irish immigration. The theological position on which the priest relied is known as the theory of penal substitution: Christ stepped into our place and endured the full wrath of Gods vindictive justice, even the pains of hell, in order to pay off the immense debt incurred by the sins of humanity. It is a doctrine with next to no basis in the NT, in the Fathers of the Church, or even among great theologians such as Anselm and Aquinas whose theories of satisfaction it distorts."
Re: "It is a doctrine with next to no basis in the NT, in the Fathers of the Church, or even among great theologians such as Anselm and Aquinas whose theories of satisfaction it distorts.Then how did such an error achieve wide currency at least in the church I grew up in, and among so many others? We didn't make it up ourselves but I believe were carefully taught.Yes, Bill: "a current of the Irish guilt, blame, and scrupulosity that impacted tens of thousands of Catholics. It also built a mindset in which clericalism and a top down church ruled supreme."I have been reading about the Irish government report on the Magdalen laundries released this week. I also think of all the industrial schools and church-run institutions marked by cruelty, abuse and deep shaming, especially of sexuality. What a legacy. What part of this was impacted by the experience of the famine? Such toxic spirituality.
Back to the focus of the thread: It would be the most welcome news if Mahony, Curry et al could be criminally prosecuted, found guilty and sentenced to prison. The SOL is probably expired in all cases, but can it be suspended where fraud was the cause of non-reporting? A conspiracy to conceal?Or a window voted this time to allow prosecution of enablers?Something!
Carolyn --I've thought for a long time that sometimes the sin/crime of enabling abuse by a person in his right mind is much worse than the subjective guild of a mentally and emotionally deficient abuser. Further, the cover-ups are not single acts that are over and done with in an hour. They are continuing acts. Surely there must be some way to prosecute the enablers in spite of the SOL because the crime is a continuing one. The enabling crimes are analogous to depriving someone of a debt that is owed -- they don't happen in a smAll period of time like, say, an armed robbrery, but, rather, continue in time, so the statue of limitations should not apply in the same way that, say, an armed robbery would be covered.
Eloquent, Ann; straightforward and on the mark. Yes, "continue in time."Perhaps it's the continuing "culture of mendacity" that is so damaging. The lack of truth-telling by bishops about their records is an open sore. The on-going spin is disgusting. Finn doesn't consider himself guilty of anything, as he privately admitted. Law in his palazzo in Rome, McCormack in his $700K plus condo on the Merrimack river, NH's Francis Christian...well, the list is endless of those men's "mistakes and poor judgment" which I maintain are really crimes of criminal endangerment, obstruction of justice, and perjury. Such is the face of institutional religion.
I share Carolyn Disco's distress that something should be done in the wake of revelations that Roger Mahony was at the fulcrum of a wide-ranging cover-up of child rape and sodomy of children by LA archdiocesan priests. However, justice in America is only for those that can afford it. The Catholic hierarchy has literally $billions to waste on the defense of the indefensible. [Case in point: Robert Finn is still bishop of Kansas City despite pleading guilty to child endangerment!] As much as I would like to see it, I'm not holding my breath that Roger Mahony and his co-conspirators will ever face real justice for what they have done.However, I am heartened by the changing tone I see in the media since the LA document revelations became public. Frank Bruni writing in the NY Times really nailed the hierarchs for their moral vacuity:http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/opinion/bruni-a-convenient-morality.ht... A. Olivas wrote a devastating piece, again in the NY Times (2/7/13), that reveal the sharp tip of the knife pointed at the heart of the power American hierarchs have over especially the Latino Catholic community here in the us:http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/07/opinion/the-catholic-church-abuse-canc... yesterday, Ray Suarez interview one of the lead attorneys, Ray Boucher, who has represented survivors of the sexual abuse from LA archdiocesan priests. It was very sobering to hear Boucher predict that many "thousands" of stories of abuse survivors have yet to come forward:http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/religion/jan-june13/diocese_02-07.htmlJust yesterday on NPR's Morning Edition, Joelle Casteix [Southern CA SNAP leader], herself a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of a LA priest, opined that the slap on the wrist of Roger Mahony by his successor archbishop Jose Gomez amounted to "taking away Mahony's key to the executive rest room." [Sorry, but I couldn't find the link - you'll have to trust me on the quote.]While not a satisfying as seeing Mahony and his buddies in the hierarchy being frog-marched off to jail, the accumulative effect of this kind of media attention will, drip by drip, further erode the political power of the hierarchs within the Catholic community, especially here in the US.This is going to be a long hard slog for Catholics to rid themselves of their corrupt and complicit hierarchs and clergy. The hierarchs have salted away literally $billions for their legal defense as they circle the political, theological and ecclesiastical wagons - for about the next century or so when they hope there won't be anyone around who remembers their shameful abuse.Catholics will need to be resourceful and cunning if our Catholic faith, culture and practice is to even survive. I find my solace in the admonition of my sainted sixth-grade teacher, Sister Mary Adelaide: "Christianity is not for sissies!"The key will be to separate the hierarchs from the money, or at least to dry up all their cash flow streams, until the full effects of Catholics denying the hierarchs the one commodity that their money can't buy, and which they desperately need to self-perpetuate: Our sons!
Jim, one correction from Joelle."Corrections By Joelle CasteixThe Worthy AdversaryFebruary 6, 2013http://theworthyadversary.com/1713-correctionsAn AP photo went out today saying that I am a victim of Fr. Michael Baker. I am not. Other stories have gone out this week saying that I am the victim of abuse by a priest.Both statements are incorrect. I have alerted all media outlets to the mistake.I am a victim of abuse in the Catholic Church by a lay teacher, Thomas Hodgman, who admitted to abusing me and other girls. http://theworthyadversary.com/365-the-thomas-hodgman-documents Do read the documents. Despite a confession and settlement, Hodgman is teaching at Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan. "Adrian College officials have known that Thomas Hodgman was an admitted predator since 2003, yet, they support him and have allowed him to keep his job. They have not warned parents, students or the general community of the risk."Go figure.

We had this situation in a game of Small World tonight. Seafaring Tritons took over the lake (using two race tokens) and then removed one of them during re-deployment. There was an adjacent Sorcerer player and we wondered if he could use their special ability to take over the lake. We ended up not doing it, but it seems to me that the Sorcerer's special ability would allow them to replace the single Triton there and conquer the region. Would that work?

There are some servers that have a task delegated to them. For instance, imagine a scenario where there are web servers, data servers etc. that together provide a service to a client.
Now how should I make sure the servers are up to date with new software package releases without blindly choosing an automatic update option? I may not be able to shut down a server for an update. How can I know that which update will affect what all running processes in the system, so that if the update affects a critical process pertaining to a service, I can deny that particular update or re-schedule it for some other time?
--Edited part-- My main focus is that the running service should not be affected, while the security updates for that service should be informed to the admin PC connected in LAN. Also all those updates that do not affect the running service should be automatically updated.
