Monsignor Lynn's Conviction Is Overturned
A Pennsylvania appeals court has overturned the child-welfare conviction of Monsignor William J. Lynn, who was jailed over his role in supervising a priest who sexually abused minors in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
The court ordered that Lynn, who has served 18 months of a 3- to 6-year prison sentence, be released. [A PDF copy of the opinion can be downloaded under the listing for Dec. 26, Commonwealth v. Lynn.]
The ruling, written by Superior Court President Judge John T. Bender, turns on the question of whether Lynn was "supervising the welfare of a child" through his supervision of priests who worked more directly with children.
Prosecutors had contended that if the law applied only to direct supervision of children, it would have said so: "supervising a child" instead of "supervising the welfare of a child." The trial judge, Teresa Sarmina, had agreed with that. She pointed to prior Pennsylvania cases holding that any statute designed to protect children must be read broadly, and interpreted using "the common sense of the community."
The appeals court disagreed, and pointed to another precedent holding that when a statute's wording was ambiguous, the court should lean toward protecting the defendant.
The appeals court also rejected the accusation that Lynn was an accomplice of the abusive priest. To do so, evidence would have to show that the sexual abuse was a "natural and probable consequence" of decisions made in assigning the priest. The court said there was no evidence Lynn knew the priest would abuse a child, and that there was no psychiatric diagnosis in place to suggest a predisposition.
That the priest had sexually assaulted a minor a decade before a second incident was not sufficent evidence for Judge Bender, who wrote that "the notion that Avery was an ongoing, ever-present danger more than a decade after having sexually assaulted R.F. was tenuous at best."
In 2007, Pennsylvania changed the child-welfare law to make it apply to a "person that employs or
supervises such a person" who supervises the welfare of children -- too late to apply to Lynn's actions. Did that change implicitly acknowledge that the earlier law didn't apply in Lynn's case? That's what the appeals court found. Or did it simply clarify what was already in the law? That is what prosecutors argued.
An appeal is likely.

I believe that a fair trial and fair sentencing are now impossible to assure for any offences connected with minors. We see on comboxes all the time how intelligent people with higher degrees hurl accusations and interpretations with not the slightest concession to the constraints of logical argument. What then must be the level of prejudice and irrationality in the population at large? This makes me sympathetic to bishops who drag their feet on mandatory reporting,
I thought only defendent's can appeal, not prosecutors. Not sure how the prosecution could think they could win on appeal, anyway, given this ruling. If they do appeal, it may be a sign that they are more interested in garnering headlines than justice.
I read the appelate decision and it seems to me that the prosecution has a good case moving forward. As Paul mentions, the issue hinges, in part, on the interpretation of this statute:
"A parent, guardian or other person supervising the welfare of a child under 18 years of age commits an offense if he knowingly endangers the welfare of the child by violating a duty of care, protection or support."
The revised 2007 statute reads
"A parent, guardian or other person supervising the welfare of a child under 18 years of age, or a person that employs or supervises such a person, commits an offense if he knowingly endangers the welfare of the child by violating a duty of care, protection or support"
The decision states that:
The Commonwealth contends the plain meaning of the pre-amended statute clearly encompassed the class of persons added by the 2007 amendment and, thus, the amendment was merely a clarification of, rather than a substantial change of, the pre-amended statute's scope of liability.
I think that they are on strong ground arguing that point. Plus, there is no question that in his handling of these issues, he erred on the side of the priest and reputation of the archdiocese! At trial, the Commonwealth also introduced "copious evidence of prior bad acts concerning Appellant's handling of twenty other priests accused of molesting minors and similar transgressions. TCO, at 20 – 132. That evidence was offered to aid the jury in understanding Appellant's "intentknowledge, motivation and absence of mistake when handling Avery's case"
And as clear evidence of the above, one of the victims, RF e mailed Lynn stating, in part,
"I'm not asking for details[,] what I want to know is[,] is he rehabilitated or in a situation where he can't harm others. Will the diocese vouch for the safety of its children. For my peace of mind I need to know."
RF received no reply but Avery obtained a generous reccommendation to pursue doctoral studies. Lynn represented that Avery was honest and trustworthy and in touch with his spiritual life. And he pulled some strings to get the Cardinal representative to help out too. But, to a victim of Avery, nada, zip, zero.
I am totally convinced you are correct Joseph. George's reply shows why: the 2007 law is irrelevant as it is ex post facto.
That is for a higher court to decide Bruce. The original judge was correct, I think, when she wrote that any statute designed to protect children must be read broadly, and interpreted using "the common sense of the community."
It is obvious that this addition was a clarification, exactly as she argued, and not another addition of another class.
What you, and the appeal court, are arguing Bruce is that daycare facilities, schools, and hospitals in Pennsylvania (prior to 2007) were not obligated to esnure the safety of children under their institutional care. That is absurd on its face and flies in the face of any common sense and normal procedures. It is a standard requirement for any board of education hiring staff that has access to, in any way, children, be required to obtain police record checks specifically for people working with vulnerable populations. That means not only cleared for convictions but screened for any investigations as well.
Joseph O'Leary, Irish expatriate living in Japan, expert on U.S. culture.
Agree with comments here but would also suggest that we need to include two other factors in this case:
- the *suspect Bily Doe* witness allegations
- what is driving the DA
Ralph Ciprian has investigated and published on this case....contrary viewpoint.:
If guess if you believe bishops worldwide never, never, ever would cover up clerical abuse, it easy to post that Lynn got a bad deal in his conviction and his release is a bell rung for justice.
Scooter Libby stood trail instead of Cheney and Lynn stood trial for Bevilacqua... that's what happens in 'big' cases..
George, the law is ex post on its face simply because it was enacted after the alledged activity. Your argument about other facilities is nonsensical because the prior law clearly applies to children in their care. Further, the legislative change must have added something, else you are holding that it was inserted for no particular reason other than to comment on the statute; that's a direct contradiction of legal interpretation where all the words are there for a particular reason.
Grant, nice ad hominen attack
the law is ex post on its face simply because it was enacted after the alledged activity. Your argument about other facilities is nonsensical because the prior law clearly applies to children in their care.
So the letter of the law subverts the spirit of the law?
I agree with George D that the prosecution has a good case going forward.
"Prosecutors had contended that if the law applied only to direct supervision of children, it would have said so: "supervising a child" instead of "supervising the welfare of a child." The trial judge, Teresa Sarmina, had agreed with that. She pointed to prior Pennsylvania cases holding that any statute designed to protect children must be read broadly, and interpreted using "the common sense of the community." Paul Moses
One can reasonably argue that the 2007 addition simply clarified what was in the law. Can one infer an exclusion was meant for priests or others acting as supervisors, when the statute itself refers to "a person supervising the welfare of a child"? Were only some supervisors included?
What did legislative debate at the time of the original statute indicate was the intent?
And so justice apparently depends on such hairsplitting technicalities.
Thank you, Grant, for your patience over many years.
Grant: I think you have seriously under-estimated the scope of Fr. O'Leary's imagined expertise. He imagines himself to be an expert in more than American culture.
I would not be surprised if Msgr. Lynn has found 18 months in prison to be an eye-opening, if not harrowing, experience. It's no small thing. I would be interested to know what that experience was like, and what he will do with what he learned there, once he is released.
Msgr Lynn has spent 18 months in prison. He is sure to never again give priority to priests over potential child victims. If he is cleared, it'll be because of an ambiguity in wording that is now no longer present in the text of the law, so freeing him does not set a precedent, and whatever the final outcome in Lynn's case, all secretaries of clergy in all US chanceries know that they really could end up in prison.
I think that the point has been made, and that the law will now act as a deterrent against prioritizing the wrong way. I'm not keen to see Msgr Lynn later return to prison for more time. This is enough.
If only Bp Finn had been jailed for a few weeks, then bishops would also know that they could end up in prison as well, and my satisfaction would be complete. Instead, he is still bishop of Kansas City!
Father Ratigan - took hundreds of pictures of young girls, tried to commit suicide when found out, admitted to the charge. Sentence: 50 years in prison without parole.
Bishop Finn - was warned several times about Father Ratigan, knew about some "borderline pornographic" pictures, as he called them, yet failed to report him to authorities. Sentence: two years of probation.
The discrepancy is enormous. It is unbalanced justice, heaviest for those without friends in high places, lightest for those who have relations.
Scandalously, Finn even now remains bishop of Kansas City!
Claire's comments appear to me to be right on target.
Unfortunately this could be regarded as a victory for the archdiocese of Philadelphia and/or Msgr. Lynn. I don't know what the chances are for the appeal but I wish Seth William exceedingly well. A few bishops need to go to jail to make clear that the jig is up and protecting the sexual assailants of children is no longer protected activity. And Father O'Leary does protest very much. Nothing new there.
Mark Proska: You cannot appeal an acquittal jury verdict because of the constitutional protection against double jeopardy. But, you can appeal the reversal of the verdict by an appeals court. That is what I believe may have happened in this case.
There is a saying among lawyers that you never want to be in court against Major League Baseball or the Catholic Church - because both have really deep pockets to buy the best legal eagles and the protection of politicians.
The Pennsylvannia state prosecutors haven't done themselves any political favors in taking on the Catholic Church in this Lynn case. However, when you have the sainted Penn State football coach Joe Paterno "defrocked" over the Sandusky crimes, one can imagine that the prosecutors did have some public pressure not to appear - at least in public - to give the Philadelphia archdiocese a legal pass.
Who knows? There may have been a back-room deal where the prosecutors would sabotage their case so that it would be overturned on appeal. So the prosecutors got thepublic notoriety that they were finally holding the church to account while Lynn like a good acolyte spent some time in jail - most likely in protective custody to shield him from the general prison population [prisoners - many survivors of abuse - have been known to take justice into their own hands] - and now is the recepient of a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Sadly, children are still too much at risk for sexual predation.
Thanks for the information regarding how the appeal process works. Having lived in Philadelphia, I can assure you that Seth Williams did not in any way go against the political winds in choosing to prosecute Monsignor Lynn. On the contrary, he will be sure to reap a political benefit (though I'm not accusing Williams here of prosecuting Lynn for political purposes). I think it would be fair, however, for Lynn to now ask: "Where do I go to get the last 18 months of my life back?"
Ms. Roach:
Anyone who reads the Superior Court's decision would have a hard time seeing this as any sort of victory for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. It is a victory for Msgr. Lynn in the sense that he will get out of prison (no smal victory) -- but it is unequivocably not a victory in terms of rehabilating his image or the actions he took as a leader in the Archdiocese. The decision lays out in sickening detail all the bad acts of Lynn and others in the Archdiocese. The Superior Court after detailing the truly irresponsible bad (sinful?) acts of Lynn and others in supervising a known pedophile, says:
the Commonwealth presented more than adequate evidence to sufficiently demonstrate that Appellant prioritized the Archdiocese's reputation over the safety of potential victims of sexually abusive priests...
the Commonwealth provided ample evidence regarding Appellant's pattern of intentionally mishandling other sexually abusive priests with the intent to shelter both the priests and the larger church from disrepute...
The disagreement with the trial court is simply whether the bad acts of Lynn and Archdiocese meet the all the elements of the now revised criminal statute at the time of the acts.
Yes, in the case of ex post facto, the only thing that matters is the date
@ Mark Proska: Yes and no.
I'm not as sanguine as you seem to be about Lynn having had to spend some time in jail - a small price to pay for the crime of supplying fresh child victims to his brother child-sexual predator priests.
When I reviewed the evidence the prosecutors presented against Lynn it seemed pretty convincing to me that Lynn had knowingly reassigned priest predators to parishes providing fresh victims to them. That seemingly fulfills the legal definitioin of child endangerment, at least to me.
And, Lynn's prime defense was that he was only following orders - strangely and sadly reminiscent of Nuremberg, wouldn't you say? Not the kind of thing you would ever expect to come from our Jesuit pope's mouth, now would yah?
I'd be more convinced of Lynn's metanoia if he would now devote the rest of his life ministering to the needs of survivors, helping to provide a just redress of grievances, adequate mental health care, and sensitive pastoral care.
Or, maybe Lynn could be the religious superior at a monestary or empty rural seminary keeping track of and babysitting - I think the operative word in clerical circles is: ministering - to credibly accused priest predators?
A safe place where US Catholic bishops could house all their priest sexual predators in one locus with maybe electrified fences, where the predators would be totatlly available to participate fully in multiple scientific studies of child sexual predators? As Mother Abbess, portrayed by Peggy Wood, in The Sound of Music intoned:
"Maria, these walls were not meant to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live".
Just saying, it would be a small way of giving some meaning to their pathetic lost priesthood.
"supplying fresh child victims to his fellow child-sexual predator priests"
Commonweal is happpy with this perception, but I wonder is it accurate? Do you see the monsignor as some sort of Marquis de Sade handing boys around in a sex-ring?
Speaking of Maria, have you read The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk?
I must say I'm starting to feel very sorry for Msgr. Lynn whether he gets out of jail or not. He is far from the only case of a "good little boy" who has been psychologically stunted because he was not allowed to grow up and who has scrupulously done his "father's" bidding even as a middle aged "man". The irony of ironies is that the resulting damage has been not only to himself but, indirectly, to many other children.
Yes, if Pennsylvania jails are anything like Louisiana ones, his jail time should have given him a different perspective on male rape, not to mention the fact that many, many of the males in jail were themselves objects of sexual predation as children. Did he get to know any of their stories? Are "old boys", as the French call them, capable of learning from such experience? There aren't even any other priests who can say to him, "Yes, I understand all you've been through". He's in for a very isolated life no matter what the outcome, and he might not even grow from the experience. Holy Spirit help him!
Bill deH. -- Seth Williams was shuffled around as a child. Maybe he knows from his own experience something about what it's like to be a victim. Maybe that's what motivates him to do something about predation. Interesting man.
"Male rape" -- how many children were actually raped as a result of Msgr Lynn's negligence?
I googled, and so far the answer to my question seems to be: zero.
JOL - you really need to get back on your meds....some bedtime reading:
Make sure you click on every document and report.
Guess you just don't know how to google:
I don't feel sorry for Lynn, I feel sorry for the kids his cover-ups put in harm's way.
I just read the report on Fr. Sicoli in the AG's report. Sickening. I'm not feeling very sorry for Msgr. Flynn any more. What intrigues me most is why :Cardinal Bevilaqua gave Sicoli the kinds of parishes he wanted. The report makes one wonder if Sicoli was blackmailing the Cardinal. Not only did Fr. Sicoli get assigned to parishes with schools, he got himself assigned to parishes with only one priest, which essentially prevented any oversight of him. Flynn belongs in jail.
OK, I must admit that prison seems like such a horrible place that I do feel sorry for almost anyone who has to go there, but still ...
I'm becoming very suspicious of the American justice system,so I am always a little encouraged when a defendant is found not guilty. In recent years, I've been feeling as if we're putting people in prison when we just don't like what they do, and we're not going to let the law get in our way. We're listening in on everybody's phone calls just in the hopes of catching them doing something bad, and sometimes, like at Guantanamo, we're not even going to bother wih a trial before we put them in jail, because we just know they're bad, why prove it.
So when a defendant that everyone loves to hate is acquitted, I feel like the sytem works at least a little.
Like Rita, I wonder what Msgr Lynn's takeaway from his time in prision is. If he is called to it, he could become involved in prison ministry in the future, that would be a good and useful thing to come from this experience.
Bill de Haas, your links do not seem to answer the question. What is the answer, if you think mine is incorrect? Do youD
Since Ann Olivier believes that "Male rape" in prison would be condign punishment for Msgr Lynn's negligence, I asked how many incidents of rape he could have prevented. I looked up many items on Bill's link, and found no incident of actual rape of a minor subsequence to Msgr Lynn's handling of such cases. Many of the clerics involved seem to be guilty only of incidents of molestation dating back decades, to 1966 for example. If Bill knows the answer to my question, perhsrp
Fr. O'Leary -- You're here to defend your opinion using insults as your primary weapon. Get lost.
It was not I who talked of Msgr Lynn (not Flynn btw) as guilty of failing to prevent "male rape"; Bill sent a package of material, but neither of you seem to know, in reality, whether there was even one incident of male rape that Lynn could have prevented and didn't. What not cite at least one incident, instead of huffing and puffing?
If the worst that men had to fear in US prisons were "rapists" of the caliber of Fr Sicoli (now Exhibit A as the "male rape" countenanced by Lynn), I think they'd be very relieved.
Good remarks from Reese`http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2013/12/26/2851418/pa-church-official-seeks-bail.html
Typical remarks from Catholic League's Bill Donohue:
"This is a monumental win for justice, and a tremendous setback for anti-Catholic bigots. Their goal is to 'get a bishop,' and if that doesn't work, then they settle for the next in line. They are fundamentally dishonest, and now they have been disabled."
Here's the latest.
What I did not realize is that the 3 judge appeals panel ruled unanimously in Lynn's favor.
Agree that Donohue's remarks here are not helpful.
Donohue is a blowhard who has been successfully demonized. But lots of others make unsettling points: http://www.themediareport.com/2013/12/26/philly-msgr-william-lynn-verdict-overturned/
Of course you will not get these details from SNAP and their supporters.

TEMPLE (February 19, 2013) ---A beer thief was at large Tuesday after he robbed a local Shell convenience store hitting the clerk with a beer can.
Temple police were sent to the Shell Convenience Store at 2512 South 5th St. Monday at around 11:30 p.m.
Temple police spokesman Christopher Wilcox said the shoplifting call was upgraded to a robbery because the man used force while committing the crime.
The clerk told officers that when he confronted the suspect the man reached toward his waistband on his pants as though he was armed, and then as he was fleeing the store the man hit him with a beer can.
The clerk had minor injuries and did not have to be treated by EMS.
The suspect was 5-feet to 5-feet-5-inches tall, weighed 150 pounds, and was wearing a white tank top, red sweatpants, and a backwards black and red baseball cap.
This is the second time this convenience store has been robbed this year.
On Jan. 14 Temple police responded to the same location after three men came into the store with handguns and demanded money.
Nobody was hurt.
No arrests have been made in that case.

I have to say the news woke me up, the recent stories about how more companies across the country are inclined to think that sleeping on the job isn't such a bad thing after all.
In fact, a little snooze does an employee good and so, too, the employer, which explains why some businesses are creating "nap rooms" or offering "nap pods" or "rejuvenation centers."
The idea is that a rested worker is a happy, productive worker.
Makes sense to me.
A little cat nap equals a lot of benefits, so the theory goes.
Now I am not one to sleep on the job, and I don't think my employer has any immediate plans to offer us "nap rooms" although the women's "rest"room, ironically, does have a couch in it.
I guess we could take a load off and relax there a spell if the room temperature weren't about as balmy as a meat locker.
I come to the job pretty well rested, but I can assure you that I have to fight the urge for a mid-afternoon siesta some days worse than others, especially if I've had Chinese for lunch.
I eat that kind of sedating noontime fare, and I'm taking the next exit to Yawnsville for a rest stop.
That would definitely not be the time to ask me, "What's up?" because I'll be honest - it's probably not my eyelids, which are feeling pretty h-e-a-v-y.
I can see the value in a little shuteye in between stories and photos and such.
There have been many times when some of my co-workers and I have yearned for a return to those grade school days when a teacher would insist on rest time, instructing students to put their heads down on their desks and close their eyes.
Quiet time, boys and girls.
Get your mat and blanket. Lights out.
I wouldn't need to be told twice. Not even once.
But in my workplace I'm not so sure I want to snooze, snore, drool and have that startle reflex you have sometimes when you're dreaming that you're falling off a cliff or something.
I can appreciate a power nap, though.
I take them outside the workplace whenever I can because I am a gal who needs her rest.
If it's 10 o'clock, it is v-e-r-y late in Janice's world, way, way, way past pumpkin time.
I am up early and at it full speed properly caffeinated.
And that's why I have those sleepy moments throughout the day and like the "nap pod" idea.
I catch a snooze whenever I can, including in the car, which is Better Half's cue to round those bends extra hard to see if Mrs. Rip Van Winkle can be roused from rest time.
The "nap room" concept has opened my eyes to possibilities.
But I think I'll sleep on it.

Is security suffering from analysis paralysis?Monday, October 8th, 2012
It's deja vu all over again.
Back in 2001 industry was hot about network monitoring and finding data. I
remember working on a project to aggregate data across different systems.
Here we are in 2012 it doesn't seem like things have moved that much
After speaking to attendees at Interop 2012, one of the main themes
was that we all have too much data generated by different logs, events and
systems. Finding a needle in a haystack seemed to be the problem. There is
no one denying the possibility of finding some value with a large
quantity of data, but is anyone questioning the reliability of this data?
Even my niece in high school science class would know the basics of solid
scientific research would require a consistent approach and repeatable
process. The integrity of the data is only as reliable as the integrity of
the process. Within identity and access management, there is ample
opportunity to create event and system data. What some vendors are
pitching today as the business intelligence of identity management is
nothing more than data aggregation based on fallible business process.
Having so much data analysis would require an employee with analytic
knowledge and background in the business process. How do we justify the
resource cost added on already overburdened IT resource to analyze data
that may not yield a valid result?

Let $\mathcal{C}$ Be A Category and $S$ a class of morphisms (let us call these weak equivalences) of $\mathcal{C}$. One often defines the localization of $\mathcal{C}$ with respect to $S$ is the category, $S^{-1}\mathcal{C}$ that is initial among all functors that turn the elements of $S$ into isomorphisms. This definition depends on the choice of weak equivalences. What may happen is that their is some other class, $S'$ such that $S^{-1}\mathcal{C}$ and $S'^{-1}\mathcal{C}$ are equivalent categories. Thus, $S$ could be thought of as a presentation of the localization. The question is: is their a presentation-free definition of localization.
More exactly Fill in the blank: A localization of a category $\mathcal{C}$ is a functor, $F:\mathcal{C}\rightarrow\mathcal{D}$ such that ________.
Any partial results are perfectly fine, but not quite what I am looking for.

I would like to see other examples of (ideas of) proofs and results in the same vein as the proof of the Ax-Grothendieck theorem. To explain what I mean by "in the same vein", I will quote from the corresponding wikipedia article:
This method of proof is noteworthy in that it is an example of the idea that finitistic algebraic relations in fields of characteristic $0$ translate into algebraic relations over finite fields with large characteristic.Thus, one can use the arithmetic of finite fields to prove a statement about $\mathbb{C}$ even though there is no non-trivial homomorphism from any finite field to $\mathbb{C}$.The proof thus uses model theoretic principles to prove an elementary statement about polynomials.The proof for the general case uses a similar method.
Edit(after the comment by Angelo to Martin's answer below): answers along the line of "using finite fields for problems concerning infinite fields" are also welcome.

To someone who doesn't play the drums, a cymbal is a cymbal. But we know better than that: there are a ton of different kinds of cymbal, and some of the most important instruments in a percussion setup are its splash cymbals. If you're aspiring to follow in the footsteps of drumming legends like Dave Weckl or Gene Krupa, having some excellent splash cymbals on your rack is essential. In fact, Gene Krupa is the drummer who initially invented the splash cymbal, popularizing it on the jazz scene in the 1920s and 1930s. Although the sound was amazing, it may have been ahead of its time, because the splash faded into obscurity - that is, until Stewart Copeland revived it through the music of the Police.
That led to a well-deserved renaissance for splash cymbals, which have since come into their own and are now available in a ton of varieties, like traditional, china, thin, bell, salsa, rock and even specialty and signature splash cymbals. The good news is that you can have as many splash cymbals as you wish, and if you're like the majority or professional drummers, you'll want to deck your kit out with a few different ones to give yourself access to a wider variety of sounds. All splash cymbals are accent percussion, designed to take hard hits that create bursts (or splashes) of sound. Of course, their exact flavor varies from one cymbal to another. For example, a rock version might have added tapering for a richer sound.
As with any other cymbal, you'll also want to take weight into consideration: lighter cymbals are more lively and responsive, while heavier cymbals give raw, cutting power at the cost of slower lead-in. Just like anything else that you add to your drum set, the right splash cymbals are a matter of preference. The one universal truth that applies no matter which cymbals you choose, though, is that they're a powerful addition to your palette of percussion sounds. If you want to make a lasting impression on the drumming scene, you definitely can't afford to overlook these crucial cymbals.

Thank you, Sam, for the kind introduction, undeserved though it is.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: I would like to thank the U.S.-Arab Economic Forum and Mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick for holding this meeting in the great city of Detroit. Detroit not only produces the best cars, and arguably the best taboulah and hummous, yet it has also been hospitable to the Arab-American community.
Knowing how Arabs are proud of their language, I had intended to deliver my speech in Arabic, but after hearing the eloquent use of that language by participants in this Forum, especially our Arab-American friends, I decided, in all humility, to speak in English instead. Regardless of the language, it is indeed a pleasure for me to be here this morning.
We meet at an important gathering, and at a significant time to discuss an important subject: how best to achieve economic cooperation. I started my career in government --let's just say many years ago - as a junior economics researcher in the Ministry of Petroleum and Minerals. That is why the subject of this forum intrigues and fascinates me.
Economics, investment, commerce and trade are the pillars upon which relations among nations are founded.
To paraphrase an old saying: if war is an extension of diplomacy, in this age of globalization, diplomacy has become an extension of economics. If economic relations are healthy, fair and equitable between nations, they will lead to a harmonious accord. If not, discord and strife are the logical outcome.
I would like to discuss with you today some of the issues facing our two nations. In spite of our governments trying to assume credit for the harmonious relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States, it was actually established by entrepreneurs, businessmen and investors.
In the 1930s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was building the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, your business community and the Saudi people were building an 8,000-mile bridge between our two nations. American oil companies came to Arabia, discovered oil and established roots among us. Many other companies followed. They all found a welcoming environment.
Over the years, the relationship evolved and blossomed to assume a political, as well as a strategic dimension, and developed into a full-fledged alliance between two countries and people who shared similar values in spite of their different cultures and history.
Our bonds remain strong because American and Saudi values are, at their core, very similar.
Like the American people, Saudis are dedicated to preserving the qualities that uniquely define them: their faith and trust in God, their history, their culture, and their hope for a better future for their children and grandchildren.
Yesterday, I was in New York. I was again struck with pain by memories of that horrible day when so many innocent people perished.
The people of Saudi Arabia were horrified by the blatant disregard for human life and the evilness of the deed. We were appalled that human beings can inflict such pain on other human beings.
Contrary to the perceptions advanced by some in the media, well over 90% of the Saudi people reject Bin Laden and what he stands for. And these figures were the result of public opinion polls taken by American pollsters in Saudi Arabia.
The aim of the terrorists who committed these crimes was humanity at large. They hoped that their acts would incite conflict among faiths and civilizations and bring an end to order in the global system.
Bin Laden, who had nurtured a particular hatred for America and Saudi Arabia, arranged for a special twist that is demonic in its intent. It has been proven by the admissions of no other than Khaled Sheik Mohammed, al-Qaeda's chief of operations who is under detention by the United States, that Bin Laden personally chose mainly Saudis to carry out the missions of 9-11, even though Saudis are a minority in the ranks of al-Qaeda and in its leadership.
His aim in doing so was obvious: It was to drive a wedge between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
On that day, however, the whole world stood by America. People from all corners of the world joined hands to denounce that heinous act and support the resolve of the United States to bring the perpetrators to justice - whatever the cost - and to declare that terrorism has no religion or nationality; that it is pure evil, condemned and abhorred by all faiths and all cultures.
True Muslims, for their part, will not allow a cult of extremists to distort Islam's peaceful message and spirit of tolerance.
But the damage was done, and Saudi Arabia has since been forced to witness a distressing change in the way Americans perceive our country. We are concerned by what we believe is an organized campaign waged against the Kingdom by some in the United States.
If you ask me by whom, you may hazard a guess; I will not. If you ask me why, I would admit that I am truly puzzled.
For if the objective of this campaign is to cast doubts on the Kingdom, taint its reputation, and damage its ties with America, then the people waging it are wittingly or unwittingly serving the purposes of Bin Laden.
In this campaign, the Kingdom was initially attacked for supporting terrorism, then for funding terrorism, and now our very identity as a nation is being questioned. Our faith is being attacked.
We are accused of having global ambitions and of supporting a global jihad, presumably to turn the world into an Islamic one. Come on! If the great powers on earth, from the Roman Empire in ancient times, to the United States today could not change the world in their image, do you really believe that a small country like Saudi Arabia can? How absurd!
That we are a conservative Islamic country is true. This has been known for over sixty years. If we can be accused of anything, it is our insularity, and that we prefer to be left alone. But to be accused of being an expansionist entity that seeks world domination, that's ridiculous.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is known and respected in the Islamic world as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, dedicated to the service of Muslims in any way it can. It is also known to be a moderate country that does not interfere in the internal affairs of others.
These qualities have allowed Saudi Arabia to enjoy the best of relations, even with the countries of the industrialized world, and especially those with large Muslim communities. These qualities have also served the interests of both our countries, regionally and internationally, with great effect.
We have proven to be a reliable ally during the cold war, and our contributions in the political, security and especially in the economic spheres, attest to that beyond any doubt.
Yes, 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. But should everything else be forgotten, including the fact that we are being targeted by the same terrorists? It is inherently unfair to allow a group of deviant criminals to taint a nation of 16 million.
I have no doubt that the campaign to malign the Kingdom will fail because facts, as President Reagan used to say, are stubborn things.
The facts are that our leaders have declared a relentless war not only on the terrorists, but on those who support their ideology, fund and sustain them, or provide justification for their acts.
We have frozen the assets of suspects, and put in place new laws and measures to ensure that no funding goes to support terror, intentionally or unintentionally. We have set up a High Commission for the Oversight of Charities in order to do that.
The facts also show that since September 11, 2001, Saudi Arabia has arrested more than 500 suspected terrorists of various nationalities.
We have also broken up al-Qaeda cells and captured arms caches, and provided significant information that helped foil terrorist attacks and save lives in a number of countries, including the United States.
Our two countries are working together in an unprecedented manner. We have set up two joint task forces that are working side-by-side to aggressively pursue terrorists and track their financing.
In this war, we shall not waver and we will show no mercy to the terrorists. And God willing, we shall prevail.
As I said at the outset, co-operation, whether in the economic field or on security matters, requires mutual understanding, knowledge and trust. And this cannot be achieved by government policies alone, but requires a public that is aware and supportive.
Our relationship was sustained for over sixty years by people-to-people contact, and if it is to continue for another sixty years, it will require maintaining trust and understanding among our people.
One of the most painful consequences of the 9-11 tragedy was the effect of the rush to take measures to secure the United States. This reaction is understandable.
But, unfortunately, some of these measures are doing great damage to the people-to-people contact.
I am speaking here about the procedures which have made it almost impossible for Saudis to visit the United States.
Virtually every Saudi family has a member who is a student, a medical patient, a businessman or a tourist in America. The difficulties they encounter obtaining a visa, and the process they go through when they arrive in America brought this interaction almost to a standstill.
This, to say the least, is not conducive to maintaining the healthy relations that existed between our two countries.
The undeniable truth is that the measures against Saudis in this respect are alienating them and negatively impacting trade and investment, without an equal return to the security of American citizens.
We sincerely hope, that the United States government will re-examine the subject and take steps to remedy this situation to assure expanding co-operation between our two countries. But there is also a domestic equation to the need to facilitate this expansion.
The measures we took to create the domestic conditions necessary for investment and growth have been and will be articulated by my colleagues.
As to the political reforms, the political institutions in Saudi Arabia are in a process of transition towards expanded participation. Legal systems and procedures are being reformed and streamlined for the benefit of our citizens and residents.
Educational curricula and teaching methods have been updated, and a Center for National Dialogue has been established.
The government is moving with deliberate speed on a very ambitious reform program designed to bring about change, while at the same time maintaining the social cohesion that binds the nation. Our leaders absolutely refuse to experiment with the lives of our people and their wellbeing.
Reform is a response to the aspiration of the people and their needs, and not a theory in the head of some planner. It is for their benefit in order to provide them with good governance and transparency.
It is self-evident that stability is a necessary requisite for change and reform. For the Middle East to develop, the Arab-Israeli conflict must be resolved. And for peace to take place between the Palestinians and Israelis, both sides must want it at the same time. The issue is not one of personalities, but one of politics. Both sides have responsibilities.
Although the Palestinians did maintain a ceasefire for six weeks to allow for negotiations to start, Israel continued its assassination of Palestinians, expansion of settlements and the construction of the infamous wall.
Israel faces a choice. I cannot articulate this choice as clearly as or as eloquently as the following, and please bear with me while I read you some lines about this choice:
The writer asks Israel, and I quote:
"Do you want the greater Land of Israel? No problem. Abandon democracy. Let's institute an efficient system of racial separation here, with prison camps and detention villages. Qalqilya Ghetto and Gulag Jenin.
"Do you want a Jewish majority? No problem. Either put the Arabs on railway cars, buses, camels and donkeys and expel them en masse –or separate ourselves from them absolutely, without tricks and gimmicks.
"There is no middle path. We must remove all the settlements – all of them - and draw an internationally recognized border between the Jewish national home and the Palestinian national home.
"Do you want democracy? No problem. Either abandon the greater Land of Israel, to the last settlement and outpost, or give full citizenship and voting rights to everyone, including Arabs.
End of quote
These lines were not penned by a radical Arab, but by Avraham Burg, the former Speaker of Israel's Knesset, and the former Chairman of the Jewish Agency. He is currently a member of the Knesset for the Labor Party.
Mr. Burg also provides the following advice, and I quote:
"There is time to change course, but not much. What is needed is a new vision of a just society and the political will to implement it." End of quote.
I cannot add anything to this. I do know, however, that without settling this dispute, all endeavors in the region become difficult, if not impossible including Iraq.
With regard to Iraq, we hope that the international community will devise a concrete plan to help it emerge from its present difficulty. It is difficult enough, in the present unsettled condition of the Middle East, to deal with the Iraqi situation.
Certainly the dialogue about Iraq in the United Nations before the war, during the war, and even after the war, has not been helpful by any means. This debate has considered everything under the sun except what to do to help Iraq.
The removal of Saddam Hussein - to the good fortune of the Iraqi people - should have been the opening for a healthy debate to create the positive changes the Iraqi people deserve.
Iraq is a proud and ancient nation, and it has the people and resources to manage its future. The priorities should be set by the Iraqi people not outsiders.
The international community must assure the unity and territorial integrity of Iraq while it transforms itself according to the wishes of its people. Those who can help should do so with good will. Recrimination and accusation only stymie efforts.
It is our hope that the turmoil our region has undergone in the past few years will be replaced by stability, prosperity, and peace. For this to happen, we must focus on finding solutions to the region's problems, and improve the lives of its inhabitants.
The United States can play a constructive role by providing leadership, talent and resources. And the U.S.-Arab Economic Forum can help shed light on the importance of trade and economic development, not only to the region, but to American businesses as well.
As Arab-Americans you are a bridge, which links America to the Arab world. You have an important role to play, and should take pride in your heritage which has become, thanks to you, a valuable part of the American mosaic.
You can play a crucial role in sustaining and strengthening the bonds between America and the lands of your ancestors. As loyal Americans of Arab origins, you will certainly have great influence in determining the course of future Arab-American relations.
Thank you.

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of natural and holistic medicine. When translated from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means "the science of life" (the Sanskrit root ayur means "longevity" or "life" and veda means "science").
While allopathic medicine tends to focus on the management of disease, Ayurveda provides us with the knowledge of how to prevent disease and how to eliminate its root cause if it does occur.
Core Principles
The knowledge of Ayurveda was passed on orally through a lineage of sages in India until it was collated into text more than five thousand years ago. The oldest known texts on Ayurveda are the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and the Ashtanga Hrudaya. These texts detail the affect that the five elements found in the cosmic system - earth, water, air, fire, space – have on our individual system, and expound on the importance of keeping these elements balanced for a healthy and happy life.
According to Ayurveda, each person will be influenced by certain elements more than others. This is because of their prakriti, or natural constitution. Ayurveda categorizes the different constitutions into three different doshas:
Ayurvedic Immunization Program
A special Ayurvedic Immunization Program Suvarnaprashanam is a safe Ayurvedic combination which is beneficial for normal growth and development of children. It is prepared with pure gold in its bio-available form and other Ayurvedic Immuno-modulators and brain tonics. The medicine is given on the day of Pushya Nakshatra of every month to impart greater efficacy. Read more
- Vata dosha, in which the air and space elements dominate
- Pitta dosha, in which the fire element dominates
- Kapha dosha, in which the earth and water elements dominate
The dosha affects not just the shape of one's body but also bodily tendencies (like food preferences and digestion), and the temperament of one's mind and emotions. For example, the earth element in people with Kapha dosha is evident in their solid, sturdy body type, their tendency for slower digestion, their strong memory, and their emotional steadiness. Most people's prakriti is made up of a combination of two doshas. For example, people who are "Pitta Kapha" will have the tendencies of both Pitta dosha and Kapha dosha, with Pitta dominating. By understanding the qualities of our natural constitution we are better able to do what is needed to keep ourselves in balance.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle
Ayurveda places great importance on one's pathya, or lifestyle (eating habits and daily routine). Ayurveda also provides guidance on how to adjust our lifestyle based on the change of seasons.

During the game, or battle, I always forget to look at the minimap, to spend free money or build a pylon. Maybe someone knows any application that will monitor this and will not be blacklisted by Blizzard. I don't need cheat software for which you can banned in battle.net. I need a way to increase my own skills.
I know two such tools. Both of them based on day 9 mental checklist idea:
There really isn't a kind of program that will monitor it for you.
It's simply something that you'll have to practice.
During the heat of battle it is difficult to manage these things. One of the things I did a few times was just to do a few practice games versus the AI and all I focused on was building units, checking supply, upgrading, etc. I rallied my buildings to the AI's base so they would keep getting killed. I kept a few units at home to make sure I didn't keep dying. It also helped my micro to try to survive with small armies.
Eventually it becomes part of your mental checklist and it will become part of your gameplay.
Cover your entire screen except the minimap and food count, so you will always look at the minimap and you will never psi block yourself :P
One way to get better is turn on (or up) the in-game sounds which tell you when you are out of psi, or when "your forces are under attack" etc... Every time you hear these reminders without being first aware of them, scold yourself (open-palmed face slap should work). Eventually these things become second nature. Somehow pylon timing is now ingrained in my brain, I almost cannot help but put them down when they are needed.

1959 Jaguar - I Will Run 200Written by on October 20, 2011 Kris Henderson Is Determined To Get His '59 Jag Into the 200 MPH Club.
There's something about this multipurpose hot rod you just have to love--whether it's the ultraflat tractor paint, the obnoxious hoodscoop, the tube chassis, or the fact that it has all that in a '59 Jag Mark 1 four-door sedan. Bet the Brits never saw this coming. This isn't just a street car, it isn't just a drag car, it isn't only a land speed record holder--it's all three at the same time.
The Mark 1 is far from the most collectible Jag. "E-Types to me are the sexiest, most awesome bodies Jaguar ever made, ahead of their time. This one isn't worth anything. It's the most undesirable piece of junk," says Kris Henderson, who found the Jag with a 235ci Chevy straight-six in the Oklahoma Auto Trader for $900. He drove it with the 235 for almost a year until one night in 1989 when he parked it next to his '73 Chevy Vega wagon drag car, looked at both cars, scratched his head, and realized what he had to do. "It was right in that 'dare to be different' craze," Kris says. He put the Jag on jackstands, switched wheels, and thought àman that would make a cool hot rod.
He went straight to his friend Ray Nelson's garage. They put the car on blocks until they found the perfect stance, then built a tube chassis for it. He started drag racing it with the 327 stolen out of the Vega, then built a 350 using $1,500 worth of used parts, including flat-top pistons from a once-destroyed motor, a $100 used roller cam, a 0.060-over block, a set of 292 heads, and a 175hp nitrous plate. That was good for a 9.89 at 137 mph in the quarter-mile, after which he ventured to the ECTA's Maxton Mile land speed event in 2004.
"The first time you go to Maxton, it's really humbling to try to make your car run 200 mph," says Kris, who expected his regeared Jag to run faster than its best run of 172 mph. He borrowed two turbos and a set of pistons from fellow land speed racer Britt Mayfield, and returned in 2005 to run 180.451 mph at the first HOT ROD Top Speed Challenge«, 0.388 mph short of the HOT ROD class victory. He went bigger in 2007, returning with yet a different motor and a 400 shot of nitrous, and burned the motor down. The next year, he had a hydrogen push system to help maintain steady nitrous pressure. He grenaded the motor again but coasted through the timing lights at 189 mph, which was good enough for the win. In all that time, however, he missed his true goal, a 200 MPH Club hat. He waited two seasons and returned with some even bigger guns for 2011.
When Kris killed the first motor in 2005, he called on Darrel White to fix it, and that established a relationship that might help Kris get that 200-mph record. Darrel convinced Kris to let him take Kris' Bow Tie big-block and build an engine, with Kris paying for parts and Darrel using it to compete in the '10 Popular Hot Rodding Engine Masters Challenge. Kris saw it as his ticket to 200. He had more than enough power to do it, but little did he know this engine would cost him all his small-block parts, a lot of favors, a few garage sales, selling a couple of cars, and every saved penny to get it done.
At the '11 ECTA meet (the last at Maxton; the ECTA is looking for a new place to race), Kris ran 195 mph naturally aspirated, but not the 200 he wanted. Another ECTA class, AA/Fuel Super Street, allowed Kris to turn on the nitrous, and the existing record was only 192 mph. Unfortunately, during the glory pass, the trans decided to start slipping and eventually broke. The car only ran 195. Still, he ended up winning HOT ROD jackets for earning the highest speeds in both the Real Street and Super Street classes, something that had never been done before. "There were faster cars there but they all broke their $#!&," Kris says.
During all those years, the Jag has also participated in sections of the HOT ROD Power Tour«, and Kris helped the magazine staff with the now defunct Pump Gas Drags. Though the 200-mph timeslip still evades him, he's not going to stop chasing it. His parting comment: "Gotta break 200 mph. I am going to do it this fall, before they shut the place down."
"First time you go to Maxton, it's really humbling to try to make your car run 200 mph."--Kris Henderson
"It came from a lot of stuff I built, but the rest was swap meet goodies." --Kris Henderson

Despite the look of the valve covers, that's not a GMPD crate motor with a different intake. Revolutionary Performance Machine (RPM) built this 572 to look like one for the '10 Popular Hot Rodding Engine Masters Challenge. To run on pump gas, the engine has 11.5:1 compression. It uses a GMPP Bow Tie short-block, Eagle 6.385 Armor coated rods, a used L.A. Enterprises Kryptonite crank, a 266/272-degree Mike Jones Cam, heavily worked Edelbrock Victor heads, and a ProFiler tunnel-ram intake, resulting in 845 hp at 6,600 rpm and 756 lb-ft at 5,400 rpm. The 572 bolts to a Turbo 400 with a 2,800-rpm-stall converter. After this year's racing season, Kris plans on running a smaller cam with a turbo and is aiming for 1,000 hp to the wheels.The rearend is a GM 12-bolt with a homemade four-link. Kris looked at photos of other four-link setups, drew his out, and started cutting.The interior is bare bones with a racing driver seat and a junkyard seat for riders. For land speed and street operation, Kris opts for 2.56 gears. He drove the Jag for a few hundred miles on Power Tour®, only turning 2,500 to 2,600 rpm on the highway.The Jag, photographed in street form, runs 17-inch American Racing Salt Flat Specials with 315/45 Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber. In land speed and drag racing trim, it's on 315/60-15 M/T Drag Radials wrapped around Cragar Super Trick 15x12 wheels in the rear and 15x31⁄2 Center Line wheels up front with M/T ET Front tires. The paint is Tractor Supply ultraflat tractor paint that Kris shot in his garage. Who says you can't go 195 mph on a budget and not look good doing it?

What is the story behind the word mark as a synonym for version in products, such as Canon 5D Mark III or Aston Martin DB Mark III?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
This is the sense of mark that means a particular brand of something. The OED notes that this is often followed by a numeral:
Two 19th century citations of this use are:
Two prior citations that show the evolution of mark to mean make/quality/size are:
The OED notes that when used with the postfix numeric, mark is sometimes abbreviated as Mk.
In the specific case of marque for motor vehicles, this was borrowed back from the French spelling during the 20th century. Here are the OED's citations for those, with italics in the original. The most important is the 1958 quote:
Additionally, the word mark was sometimes spelled marque during the 1600s, with no change in meaning. However, its use in "letters of marque and reprisal" may — or may not — represent something else. The OED says of this one:
The word mark itself has a long history, having its English origins in OE. mearc and Anglian merc, where it meant boundary, landmark, sign. The OED points out how French adopted it from Germanic languages, and so the British marque is just a reborrowing back into English of a word lent to French.
The last sentence quoted above suggests that the English use of marque has been influenced by the French. The OED suspects that the original meaning was boundary, connecting the hypothetical Old Teutonic ∗markâ with the Latin margo meaning margin.
The word appears in various guises in all kinds of places, from the Welsh marches to the old British kingdom of Mercia, all the way to various Iberian-derived comarcas.

I like to do up breakfast around here but with
my inability to get out of bed shiny-happy-June Cleave-style our dairy-free/gluten-free family members it can get a little overwhelming. This Gluten-Free Caramel French Toast Casserole can be adapted to encompass everyone in one dish.
Whilst parusing Pinterest, I discovered this casserole at Six Sisters' Stuff and decided it was one I MUST have. I've made a few adjustments to make it gluten free and dairy free for our family. This is so quick and super easy and you make it ahead, letting it set in the fridge overnight making a no fuss breakfast in the morning. My biggest challenge is getting out of bed to preheat the oven and pop it in before everyone is ready to carve ME up for breakfast…
For the Caramel You Will Need:
Melt everything together except nuts in a heavy saucepan stirring constantly. Do not let this boil (the sugar starts to crystalize and you are going to get actual caramel instead of caramel sauce). When it is all melted together, toss in the nuts (if you're feeling nutty) …then pour it in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 glass baking dish.
For the Bread You Will Need:
Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and salt together in a shallow dish. Cut your bread into 8 -10 slices around 1/2 – 3/4″ thick each. Soak…and I mean DRENCH your bread in the egg mixture, use it ALL up. If you have some mixture left in the dish when you are finished …use a basting brush to dab it onto the tops of the bread. (French Toast Casseroles are known for being soggy and, frankly, a little gross…so I can understand your hesitancy when it comes to this step…but I promise you that this will not be soggy…it is perfection.) Lay your soaked with eggy goodness bread on top of the caramel sauce, cover it with foil and stick it in the fridge until you are ready for it the next morning.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and pop that casserole in, uncovered. Bake for roughly 20 minutes, until the tops of the bread start to turn brown. Pull it out of the oven and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. THIS IS CRUCIAL. Flip the 9×13″ pan over onto a like-sized platter and serve your ooey-gooey mound of goodness. (If you don't wait those few minutes when you pull the casserole out of the oven? When you flip you are going to have a bigger mess…those couple of minutes give the caramel a chance to thicken ever so slightly.)
Our family is lucky enough to have no egg allergies and since SuperDad's gluten intolerance is just that: an intolerance and not an allergy, we can mix the gluten free bread with regular bread in the same dish…. but I tried it with the gluten free sandwich bread and it was equally delish. This caramel french toast casserole is polished off in our house each time I make it …and those are some of the quietest breakfasts we've had (disclaimer: that isn't saying much).
Enjoy!Read More

I'd like to "model" the absolute complement of a set $X$ as the ordinal-indexed sequence $\alpha \mapsto V_\alpha \setminus X$ where $V_\alpha$ is the $\alpha$ stage of the cumulative hierarchy. My understanding is that ZFC doesn't support ordinal-indexed sequences, so my question is, what is a good set theory in which to study this concept?
Note that the class-length sequence $V_\alpha$ is definable, so given a set $X$, so is the sequence $V_\alpha\setminus X$ going to be definable (via the parameter $X$).
If you intend to use more, perhaps a theory like ZFC+Global choice; or NBG which is more suitable for handling proper classes.
If you are going to talk about collections of classes, then perhaps it is easier to assume an inaccessible cardinal exists, and have two levels of universes: $V_\kappa$ as the world of sets, and its classes are also sets in the larger universe, allowing you to talk about "all complements" or so, if you'd like.

I was wondering if there are examples of results in mathematics that were first proven using axiom of choice and later someone found a proof of the result without using the axiom of choice.
Cantor-Schroder-Bernstein theorem was first proved by Cantor using the axiom of choice. Proofs without using it came later.
The issue is complicated by the fact that many (most?) "mainstream mathematicians" are not really keeping track of whether they are using some form of AC in their arguments. Moreover, they often do not write their proofs in such a way which makes clear either whether they are using AC or whether this use of AC is really necessary.
Here is an example from my own experience.
Theorem (Luther Claborn): For every abelian group $A$, there exists a Dedekind domain $R$ such that the ideal class group of $R$ is isomorphic to $A$.
I know of three proofs of this theorem.
1) Claborn's original 1966 proof:
2) C. Leedham-Green's 1972 proof:
3) My 2008 proof:
Of these, the only one I am truly familiar with is my own. My proof uses transfinite induction. To be quite honest, I was pretty tickled by this: it was maybe the fourth time in my life that I had written down a transfinite induction argument and the first time that it was for any serious purpose.
Anyway, I soon heard from the eminent mathematician Bjorn Poonen (then at Berkeley) that he had been thinking about this very result because a student of Eisenbud's had recently given a seminar talk on Leedham-Green's proof (which I would describe as "clever and complicated"). The proof I had given was much more up his own alley, and he immediately found a way to recast / improve it. Among other things, his recasting completely avoided use of the Axiom of Choice. (But I hasten to add that there was more to it than that.)
We speculated briefly on the possibility that this modified argument was the first proof of Claborn's theorem to avoid AC. I asked whether Leedham-Green's proof used AC and he told me that indeed it was also a transfinite induction argument. So then I looked back at Claborn's paper and asked my student about it. We were able to point to some part of Claborn's argument (which, if you look at the paper, you'll see is rather terse: I wish the paper were more than four pages long!) which we thought used AC. But I don't remember what that was, and I am only moderately confident that we were right: if you told me otherwise, I wouldn't be too surprised.
And now I must tell you that I didn't include in my paper any hint that Poonen's modification would give an AC-less proof (and possibly the first such proof!) of Claborn's theorem. I felt that Poonen's argument was so nice that it deserved further exploration in its own right: I wanted to use it -- and still do -- to give a characterization of all abelian groups which can be the group of rational points on some elliptic curve over some field. So in essence I have been keeping to myself the fact that this theorem of Claborn (which lots of people know about) can be proved independently of AC. Sorry!
This article is an example of sorts where Doyle and Conway prove without using AC that for any two sets $A,B$ such that there is a bijection between the sets $3\times A$ and $3\times B$, where $3=\{0,1,2\}$, there is a bijection between $A$ and $B$. http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~doyle/docs/three/three.pdf
This should be relatively easy to prove using well ordering principle which is equivalent to axiom of choice.
If $G$ is a locally compact abelian group, then there exists a unique measure $\mu$ on the Borel sets of $G$ such that:
We can slightly enlarge the Borel sets to include all the subsets of measure zero sets, and thus have a complete measure.
This measure is called Haar measure. In the case of $\mathbb R$ this is exactly the Lebesgue measure.
Haar (the mathematician) proved its existence on separable compact groups in 1933, and von Neumann proved the uniqueness shortly after.
The general case for locally compact Abelian groups was proved by Weil and relied on the axiom of choice. Henri Cartan later proved both existence and uniqueness of the general case without the axiom of choice.
Things come full circle: Constructive proofs of the Hilbert Basis theorem.

BRIDGEPORT - Toronto's players are aggressive with the basketball. They waste little time in angling toward the basket and looking to make a play.
It's that aggressive playstyle that broke the Red Knights out of an early funk, eventually building a 17-point lead early in the fourth against Bridgeport. And it's that same playstyle that nearly cost Toronto the lead and the game.
A frenzied push led by Q.J. Williams cut the Toronto lead to five but the Knights were able to hang on, improving to 4-1 with a 66-56 win against the homstanding Bulldogs (2-3).

BLOCKED — Toronto's Dillon Gault blocks a shot during Friday's 66-56 win over host Bridgeport. Looking on is teammate Joey Chadwick.
"We had to battle a little against (the aggressive play) late in the game," Toronto coach John Leary said. "You don't want to totally pull back, but at the same time, you want them taking good shots.
"It's not a situation we've been in a lot the last few years, playing up with a lead late, and they have to learn how to operate in that type of situation."
It wasn't pretty, but free throws from Blaze Glenn and Brad Melville down the stretch iced the game for the Knights. In terms of wins and losses, for one night, Toronto managed to play well enough with a lead to secure the 'w.'

Bridgeport coach Donnie Cash, meanwhile, is waiting for his club to put together four quarters of basketball.
Again, the Bulldogs played well in spurts - first in taking a 10-3 lead, only to watch Toronto battle back to knot the score at 10-10 after one.
Then later, between the third and fourth quarters, as Williams' team-high 18 points fueled the comback that whittled the deficit from 17 to five points.
But the home team just couldn't quite string together enough plays to keep or retake the lead.
"Until this team can play four quarters of basketball ... we can't play only in spurts," Cash said. "We need to bring our intensity for four quarters.
"We're learning how to win. And when it's something you're not used to doing, you have to take every game and play it likes it's a playoff game."
Melville led Toronto with a game-high 20 points, including 16 in the second half. Early on, it was Dillon Gault who got Toronto out of its funk, scoring seven of his 13 in the second quarter. Glenn added 17 points and Tyler dropped in 10 for a balanced scoring effort.
"We started sluggish and that's why I preach to the kids the important on consistency on defense," Leary said. "Your shot could be off but the defense can still be there, making plays, until you find your shot and we were able to do that tonight."
Toronto was able to force 21 Bulldogs' turnovers.
Dallas fields added 13 points for the Bulldogs, who play host to River on Tuesday. Toronto, meanwhile, heads to McMechen for a meeting with Bishop Donahue on Tuesday.

STEUBENVILLE - Visiting Juvenile Judge Tom Lipps is expected to rule next week on several motions in the case of two Steubenville High School student-athletes charged with rape.
Lipps heard arguments Friday in the juvenile courtroom of the Jefferson County Justice Center on motions to close the trial to the public and media, move it to another county and for a continuance.
Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville have been charged with rape in connection with an incident that allegedly happened Aug. 11-12. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for allegedly having a picture of the victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone. Attorneys for both defendants have denied the charges
Attorney Walter Madison, representing Richmond, withdrew a motion he had made earlier that asked for the trial behind closed doors. An attorney for the victim, meanwhile. argued the trial should be closed.
Marriane Hemmeter, Ohio Attorney General special prosecutor, said the state's position on the issue has changed since a probable cause hearing in October when the victim didn't testify. Hemmeter said the 16-year-old victim will take the stand in the trial.
Attorney Kevin Shook, representing The Associated Press, ABC, CNN, CBS News, The New York Times and WEWS-TV, told Lipps closing the case will only increase the outside perception of a coverup in the investigation and prosecution of the case.
He said people will talk about the case whether closed or open.
"Let's make sure they talk about it accurately," he said, in reference to allowing the media to cover and report on the hearing.
Kristen Andrews Wilson, representing Ogden Newspapers and the Herald-Star , said there are rules and standards in courtrooms to make sure the truth is told and not rumors.
"If the public can see the truth, it can limit speculation and rumors up to this point," she said.

My wife's phone went from lasting a full day to needing a recharge every few hours after upgrading to iOS 5. Mine still works fine after the upgrade. What might be causing this?
I think I've found the answer for my case. Location services were completely innocent, and I've returned them to default settings. My phone synchronises with a Zimbra server, set up as an Exchange account. The update enabled sync of Reminders, but the Reminder sync didn't work. Removing Reminder sync from the Exchange account setup has stopped the battery level dropping while I watch.
My general advice is to check your mail accounts to see if anything new is being synchronised, and then disable it if you're not using it.
Edit: added image showing Reminders control.
To fix the battery drain issue:
After upgrading to iOS 5 I noticed a huge battery loss compared to normal (10% per hour) and my iPhone was regularly warm to the touch. The steps that resolved this issue for me were resetting all network settings (this restarted the iPhone) and then erasing all email accounts, including iCloud, and manually re-adding them.
After performing these steps my phone immediately cooled off and the battery was stable once again. Your mileage may vary.
As for the technical why of iOS5 draining your battery much faster than the previous OS, this Fastmail blog article might give some specific clues (Fastmail is an email provider, and the issue described applies to the IMAP email protocol, but it might be hinting about a more general change in iOS):
The question has been mostly covered, but I'll also point out that iOS5 will eat your battery a bit more than previous versions, there's plenty going on in the background with the iCloud sync, Photostream et al.
The ones that haven't been touched on that really helped my battery life over the betas are these:
Those helped me get it back from half a day if I was lucky to a full day. There's a few that are a bit killing a chicken to appease the gods (looking at you number 4), but still worth ticking off if you want max battery life.
Did you perchance set up a geofence? It keeps the location services on, it might explain the draining.
Do you guy's have foursquare running? If so, turn off that new feature called "Radar". It's constantly running in the background that's why Location is ALWAYS active even if you kill the app
This is quite a general question, and you should compare how your wife and you use the iPhone to find out what was/were draining your wife's iPhone battery.
You may need to check whether your wife was using iPhone more frequently than before, or she was using some app consumes more power i.e. games, or streaming movies from Netflix etc.
Also, the location service really drains battery, so make sure to check whether some app is using the location service all the time.
Go to location services-> choose System Services-> and switch Setting Time Zone off
Taken from here : http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/16/ios-5-battery-life-fix-tips/
Reset Network Settings
Tap on "Settings" > Reset > Reset Network Settings Disable Bluetooth
Settings > General > Bluetooth > "OFF" Disable Notifications & Apps in Notification Center
Settings > Notifications > Turn OFF for anything you don't need Disable iCloud
Settings > General > iCloud > Turn everything to OFF Disable Location Services

Delete your email accounts by going to "Settings" > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account Name > Delete Account Now Reset Network Settings in "Settings > Reset > Reset Network Settings Reboot the iOS device Re-add email accounts back in "Settings" > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account
Mine is draining the battery faster too, but I think it is due to location services. I usually have no location app running, but I've been trying the new Reminders app with the "at location" option and that implies keeping the location service active all the time.
On the other hand, with iOS 4 my iPhone could handle 1-2 hours with the location service active, and now it works for almost 8 hours.
I've turned the location service off to confirm that is the problem.
For me, disabling iTunes WiFi sync seemed to do the trick. Before, other methods like disabling location services and Ping, removing mail settings, etc. did not make any difference before - the battery would go from 100% charged to dead within 3-4 hours.
I have fixed a lot of iPhone batter problems in my day, and people who think they might even have a hardware problem find if they restore the device as new and sync the data back, they generally notice a large improvement in battery life. This is especially noticeable in upgrades of the operating system.
Obviously this is just hearsay, but I have heard it and said it a good thousand times.
GPS tracking does consume indeed a lot of power. Therefore disabling location based services should do the trick.
Somebody suggested to switch off iTunes WiFi sync - however this should not matter, because it gets activated only when your iPhone is plugged in to power.
