I can't underestimate the importance of water in your diet; many dermatologists say that you should be drinking the number of ounces equal to half of your body weight. Shocked? I was. But I've greatly increased my water intake. My skin looks far better and I'm losing weight without trying!

These are great tips. I already drink plenty of green tea and eat almonds, fruits and veggies and I can see a difference in my complexion when I don't consume these as often as I should.

I take a lot of these, but don't necessarily feel that I look younger for it. I do it for the health benefits though!

Good tips. I take tons of vitamins, as the US RDA recommendations are insufficient. Especially for women.

Dynamic edit component
I'm using those lovely component for my, quite complicated, grid and so far it works extremely well.
I've managed to add editing using the standard CellEditing plugin and it works fine for my normal cells.
The problem I have is that I want to be able to display a combo box in some edit cells but only when the user starts editing the cell. If it would be column specific this would be easy to accomplish, but the requirement says that it has to be configurable on a cell level.
The question is, how do I accomplish this dynamic selection of edit component? I can easily add configuration to the cell record, but I don't really understand where to add the controlling code that will use this config?
20 Aug 2012 8:24 AM #52
If your question is about the CellEditing plugin I suggest starting a new thread in the Q&A forum. I see no reason why you couldn't update the contents of the combobox's store in a beforeedit listener.
To achieve something like this with Component Column I would use the renderer to output a container and dynamically add a combobox on the click event. This could get quite complex as you'd need to manage many of the features of the CellEditing plugin yourself. Hiding the combobox and keyboard navigation are two obvious pain points.
Component Column is not intended as a direct replacement for the built-in editor plugins though it is often used in that way. Component Column just provides a convenient way to get a component into a grid cell. Editing is much more than that.

Hi very nice plugin, really usefull.
I have a question, i have a container with 2 items on it, one textfield, one combobox. I need to fill this items with info from one field of my store. Something like this:
store = [{id: "3", Version: "123,FX"}]

Personally I think I'd write my models to split up that version if the two parts are really separate.
That aside, off the top of my head it might look something like this:
dataIndex: 'Version', renderer: function(value, meta, record) { var version = value.split(','); return { xtype: 'container', layout: ..., items: [ { value: version[0], xtype: 'textfield', listeners: { blur: function(field) { record.set('Version', field.getValue() + ',' + version[1]); } } }, { ... value: version[1], xtype: 'combobox', listeners: { blur: function(field) { record.set('Version', version[0] + ',' + field.getValue()); } } } ] }; }

Ok i see what is the way to achive this, thanks a lot for your help .

Hi! I'm using version 4.1.1. Since switching applyTemplate to apply all works great except one. After adding several elements Grid doesn't increase size. If I add for example height: 1000 to Grid config I see all elements, but fixed height it's not acceptable. Any suggestions how can I fix it?
5 Sep 2012 4:06 AM #57
From what you've said it sounds like you're trying to use auto-height for grids. Not sure the framework officially supports that but it should be possible to make it work.
It's also not entirely clear what you mean by 'adding several elements'. I assume by 'elements' you mean 'rows' but I'm not sure whether you just mean that you have a lot of rows or whether you're describing a phenomenon that only occurs as a result of adding rows dynamically.
My guess would be that injecting the buttons is causing the grid view to increase in height but the framework is oblivious to this height change, so the surrounding layouts aren't heighting their containers correctly. You might want to try calling updateLayout to kick it into resizing everything. You may need to do that on a slight delay to ensure it happens after the injection of the buttons.
More than that and I'd need a proper test case.
5 Sep 2012 9:05 AM #58
Yes, you are right and understood what I mean. I want to use auto-height. "Elements" the same as "rows".
Firstly, I'm creating a Grid and after that I'm adding elements to Grid's store. I don't know how many elements I need to add. If Grid hasn't got ComponentColumn doesn't matter how many rows are adding, Grid resize correctly, doing auto-height.
If Grid contains ComponentColumn after adding 1 - 5(it depends on height components) rows Grid resize right. Adding 6 or more rows you can see on previous picture.
I notice that If resize browser window Grid are increasing height to necessary and showing all content normally. UpdateLayout to viewport doesn't help.
Problem appears after updating Ext from 4.0.7 to 4.1.1
5 Sep 2012 10:12 AM #59
Resize example
Please, see the example and try collapse Grid.
var columns = []; var col1 = { flex: 1, dataIndex: "col1" } columns.push(col1); var col2 = { flex: 1, xtype: 'componentcolumn', hideable: false, renderer: function (value, metaData, record) { return Ext.create(Ext.Button, { text: "test" }); }, dataIndex: "col2" } columns.push(col2); var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { fields: ["col1", "col2"] }); var gridPanel = Ext.create('WyaClient.items.view.evo.Panel', { autoShow: true, autoScroll: true, collapsible: true, animCollapse: true, store: store, //height: 1000, frame: true, renderTo: Ext.getBody(), columns: columns }); for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) { gridPanel.getStore().add({ col1: i, col2: "" }); }
5 Sep 2012 11:12 PM #60
Thanks for the test case.
It needs a call to updateLayout to accommodate the height change. To make things a little easier I've bundled it into a patch:
Ext.define('Skirtle.grid.column.ComponentPatch', { override: 'Skirtle.grid.column.Component', onViewChange: function() { this.callParent(); this.updateGridLayout(); }, updateGridLayout: Ext.Function.createBuffered(function() { this.up('tablepanel').updateLayout(); }, 10) });

In Glade Spring, Virginia you can still see where trees were yanked out of the ground, a very real reminder of the devastation from two years ago when tornados ripped through our area.
Since then, homes, buildings and businesses have been rebuilt, but the people who make up the community, like the volunteer rescue workers, still remember that night, like it was last night.
Anne Bales is an EMT with The Glade Spring Volunteer Rescue Squad, a career she took on in her sixties as a way to stay active after her husband died.
On April 27th, 2011, Anne and her ambulance crew had gone to The Petro Truck Stop to put fuel in their rig, when Anne ran inside for a pit stop of her own. She says that's when it hit. "All of this noise, this roaring like you've never heard before. The windows broke, and the tornado threw a truck into the building."
Glade Spring Police Chief Ricky Stumbo was in Abingdon, Virginia with another ambulance, "They say your training will kick in when you need it." And he was right.
All around the area, firefighters, EMTs, and police, ran to help. Anne's ambulance wasn't drivable, but that didn't stop them. Anne tells us "We got our supplies off the ambulance, set up a little triage place, there was no electricity. The only lights were at The Petro," lights that served as a beacon to responders and people from Glade Spring. "We looked up and all these red lights were coming, and there's no way to explain the feeling of knowing there's help coming."
Both Anne and Ricky think about that night, and Glade's recovery. Neighbor helping neighbor, the recovery has been amazing. Ricky remembers, "It was a pretty harrowing experience. You think back on it. 'What will I do next time?' is what I generally think about."
Anne's grandson, Gabe, was in driver's seat of the ambulance when the storm hit. He still gets jumpy during storms, and rightly so. She says a tree branch went through the driver's side window, and got stuck in the sun visor on the passenger's side.
Anne tells us the tornado is still something that's talked about on a daily basis, but it hasn't changed her outlook on life.

I heard that there are 128 stochastically independent bits in an MD5 output. Is that true?
If so, are there any citations or proofs for that?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 26 '11 at 11:17
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
No, there are expressions relating input values which demonstrate extremely strong correlations between output bits. The output bits of of MD5 are not independent, particularly if the party supplying the input to MD5 chooses for them not to be.
These correlations are sufficiently powerful to enable the generation of completely identical output values rapidly on ordinary desktop systems. This would otherwise require a challenging amount of work (2^64), were MD5 an ideal random function.
Consider this visualization of an MD5 collision. Observe that even towards the end of the computation, near the output, the differences (red and green colors) have been largely confined to long vertical columns (which correspond directly to the output bits). Even after just one input block, a change to 3 input bits results in no change at all in 125/128 output bits rather than the 64/128 that would be expected by chance alone.
"Stochastically independent bits in an MD5 output" must be stated with some definition of what enters MD5. It is trivial to generate, by trial and error, MD5 inputs that generate MD5 output which right two bits are equal (hash incremental inputs, keep the ones matching that condition).
A more appropriate rephrasing of the question would be: is an adversary unable to perform a procedure that can distinguish, with odds better than 1/2
For input of less than 448 bit (which insures that there is a single MD5 round), at least the design rationale of MD5 is such that the answer to this rephrased question should be: YES (implying, in particular, that bits of MD5 are stochastically independent in this setup). The four internal rounds of the MD5 round function form a reversible block cipher with 512 bits key (padded message), 128 bit input (initial state), 128 bit output (before combination with the state). Any distinguisher on the output of MD5 (in our restricted setup) directly turns into a related-key weakness of that block cipher. If the MD5 block cipher was perfect, we could answer a conclusive YES.
The block cipher in MD5 may be far from perfect, but at least it is fairly decent. So at least, the adversary will face a though job.
Even better: it is implausible that the block cipher in MD5 could be broken without knowledge of its internal structure. It conclusively follows that any statistical test designed independently of MD5 will fail in our experiment! This illustrate the point that passing any standard statistical test is a very poor indication of the quality of a random number generator.
This depends on your input. If your input is random and at least of the output size, I would expect the output bits to be approximately independent. (There might not be a full independence, as likely some of the 2128 combinations are not possible at all, while others occur more often, but the remaining dependence would be quite difficult to measure at all in our lifetime.)
Of course, if you consider only a quite small input domain, in the extreme case only two different inputs, there are only two different output values (of size 128 bits), and here you of course will be able to measure quite strong dependencies between the bits.
(This is the case for every cryptographic hash function, nothing MD5-specific here. Also, no proofs, sorry.)

It's the final full day of winter. Many of us may be shedding our coats in anticipation of warmer weather.
Emergency officials are reminding everyone that with spring, and that warmer weather, comes a greater chance of severe storms. They say the time to take action is now.
"Talk to your family. Talk about what you are going to do, where you are going to go, who you're going to contact in the event of a severe weather event. Make sure you have some type of warning," says Ronnie Pearson, Director of Warren County Emergency Management.
Warren County is prepared to inform residents. 29 outdoor warning sirens are spread throughout the area, but officials caution they should not be your only source of information.
"We get a couple calls every time we get a severe storm saying well I couldn't hear it inside, well I had the TV on and I was inside the house. There were implemented to make sure everyone that's outside, whether they're at a playground, at a school, their farming, hears the warning and goes inside," says Pearson.
For those in public buildings, 250 indoor units are installed throughout the county.
Warren County has already had its share of severe weather this season with a tornado tearing through Smiths Grove January 30.
Emergency Management says lives were saved that day from the warning system. It's a system that was planned for expansion but has been put on hold because of budget cuts.
"No, it's not going to make anyone less safe, but the more outdoor warning systems and things we can bring to the community the more opportunities there are for everyone to know," says Pearson.
Pearson remains optimistic the system can be expanded in the future. For now he says the county is ready for whatever spring may bring.

I'm planning to read a book to gain some good knowledge of design patterns, why we use them, how to apply them and how to choose the best design for my software.
So I have two books on my desk right now: "Head First Design Patterns" and "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".
Which one do you think I should read as my first book about design patterns?

9 Challenges Facing Gifted Children (and How You Can Help!)by Erin Dower
Has your gifted child been struggling with some social, emotional, or academic issues lately? Giftedness comes with a surprising set of problems, ranging from perfectionism and competitiveness to friendship issues. Learn about these common challenges and some steps you can take to manage them and help your child thrive.
1 of 10
Self-Esteem Issues
Being gifted academically can make a child feel different from her peers and may even lead to the child being bullied and becoming depressed. Studies have shown that the more intellectually gifted a child is, the greater the risk of social difficulties and unhappiness. It's important to keep an eye on your child's self-esteem and work with her teacher and school counselor if she's really struggling. Negative talk about oneself and frequent mood swings can be signs of self-esteem problems.
Tip: Find a sport or hobby that helps your child build self-confidence, feel like a "regular" kid, and connect with her peers through play. Soccer, skateboarding, and hip-hop dance are a few ideas.

This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
I don't believe there is another way; you could always do something like this:
I went and checked the POSH script I had that tied to an Excel spreadsheet:
And you mentioned that DBCC LOGINFO was 'verbose', which makes me want to ask, have you tried using the WITH NO_INFOMSGS option?
You can calculate the number of VLFs you will have.
If your initial log file size is less than 64MB then there will be 4 VLFs, between 64MB and less than 1GB there will be 8 VLFs, and a size of 1GB and larger will have 16 VLFs. The same respective number of VLFs will be created when the log file grows.
So for a 1 GB log file that is set to grow by 1 GB, if the current log file size is 3 GB, you should have 48 VLFs.

I just used a Thinkpad for the first time ever. It's weird; the Ctrl and Fn keys are swapped. Why is this? How can I fix it?
Simply a foolish design. I'm using Thinkpad X200, and I've hated it for long.
this is by design, however, future Thinkpad models will have the option to swap the Fn and Ctrl key in the BIOS.
Lenovo Adds BIOS Option to Configure Ctrl and Fn Key Functions in Future ThinkPad Notebooks
Are you opposed to learning a new replacement for CTRL?
Someone screwed up keyboards a long time ago. Apple and Sun had it right. As everyone knows CTRL should be where Caps Lock is. I've kept this configuration the same as long as I can remember.
This may help with the Fn key confusion.
this is indeed by design.
i don't think there is an official "right" way for the position of the "fn" key.
Lenovo conducted a usability study and this won, apparently. (I used to work for them and this is what we were told.)
All the machines that have this now have the ability to swap it in the BIOS.
Probably because some engineer thought it was a good idea. Honestly, the only way you're going to get a better answer is to ask IBM... or find it on an IBM employee's blog.
My Gateway MX6448 is the same way. Drives me crazy when I'm using the HP from work (Cntl is the farthest left on the bottom) then go and use my Gateway. Didn't really think twice about it when I first got the Gateway about 3.5 years ago, but I am going to be much more critical of keyboard layout from now on.
*sigh* Live and learn...
EDIT: Just an aside, I haven't found any magical tricks (like was mentioned with the Lenovo light above) that would make sense for Gateway switching key order. I think they did it just to annoy me. IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!
Evidently IBM's ThinkPad was the first to have an Fn key, so, pedantic as it may be, it's everyone else that swaps it.
As for why, one rationale is for turning on the ThinkLight keyboard illumination in the dark, which is Fn+PgUp: the lower-left corner and the upper-right corner.
Note that Apple also has Fn before Ctrl.
Reference: Why is the FN key on the outside left instead of CTRL?
So that you don't have to stretch your little finger so much using Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V.
Actually for me personally, it's a great feature: try doing Ctrl-Z with one hand on a German keyboard (with the Z and Y keys swapped), and you will appreciate why :)

HP Pavilion 15-e015tx drivers for Windows 7
I recently bought a HP Pavilion 15-e015tx. I wanted to completely format it, and install windows 7, with all drivers.
It comes prei-nstalled with windows 8.
I visited it's product page, but there is no support for windows 7 drivers.
Please help me locate windows 7 drivers for this.
Solved! View Solution.
Re: HP Pavilion 15-e015tx drivers for Windows 7
Hello Friends, thanks for your replys.....
But unfortunately no one worked for me.....
So i have tried a third party solution and it worked...
Check this link : http://www.drivereasy.com/
This link helped me a lot and now i am have all the driver for my system... Actually they are having generic drivers for all hardwares or they can create..
You can download the trial version of this "driver easy" program... Scan your computer for missing drivers with this.. and it will guide you to get all the drivers....
I know downloading drivers with trial version is very slow, but it helped me a lot, nothing except this woked for me..
If you want then you could opt for paid version also...

Re: HP Pavilion 15-e026AX Install Windows 7
Hi ARUL2342
Sorry to hear about the issue installing Windows 7. The bootable CD that you are taking about is that a Windows 7 install disc or did you create it yourself?
Just so that you know there are no drivers for Windows 7 for your particular model only Windows 8. So, you might be better off with just the Windows 8.
Thank you,

Snacking can be both a blessing and a trap. Learn how to avoid snacking mistakes to get all the benefits you expect.
Whether you're trying to maintain your weight or trying to slim down a bit, you've undoubtedly heard of the advice of relying on snacks to keep hunger at bay and keep fat melting. However, like all good intended advice, implementation is not as straight forward and well directed as one might think. This discrepancy, unsurprisingly leads to many snacking mistakes. Let's focus on the most frequent such mistakes and see what we can do to use this otherwise smart tip to our advantage.
Snacking might seem like a great way to have a treat without ruining your efforts, however, if you choose alternatives without too much nutritional value, your hunger will be exacerbated rather than toned down and you might overeat at your meals to compensate, which might make your efforts less effective. To avoid snacking mistakes, opt for nutrient rich indulgences while still keeping an eye on the total amount of calories they pack.
Being aware of the fact that liquid meals don't pack the same hunger-busting punch as solids, you've decided to stick to dry staples only. Water rich veggies or fruits can prove an equally satisfying treat which can help you save some calories. Stick to raw options for the most part for maximum benefits.
Whether it's a treat you bought for your kids and ended up finishing it or you just want to try a new variety of treats your coworker/girlfriends just bought, it's easy to consider these behaviors as harmless. Stick to the options you grew to know and love instead and don't waste calories on simply 'ok' foods.
Thinking about how hard you'll work to keep the weight off or making progress towards your goal paired with the perceived difficulty of the workout can be powerful arguments against snacking. But, while rich meals are a bad idea, so is skimping on a choice that could fuel up your workouts and make you burn more calories. Opt for something light and nutritious instead.
Scientifically speaking, water is the basis of life, but beyond being essential to your very existence, water serves all sorts of purposes that help you feel your absolute best. No, it can't cure cancer (though it may help prevent it), pay your rent (though it does save you money), or take out the trash, here are six reasons H2O can help solve many annoying day-to-day health issues-and possibly prevent a few big ones-from headaches to those last few pounds.
Trying to lose weight? Drinking water can boost your body's ability to burn fat. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that drinking water (about 17oz) increases metabolic rate by 30 percent in healthy men and women. The boost occurred within 10 minutes but reached a maximum 30-40 minutes after drinking.
Myth: Drinking water between meals is bad for digestion – This is one line that has been passed down from generation to generation. However, there is no scientific evidence to indicate that it will affect the digestive process. At the most, it will probably fill you up and reduce your appetite for dinner. But besides that, go ahead and enjoy a glass of water with every meal.
Studies also suggest that drinking one or two glasses of water before a meal can fill you up so you naturally eat less, says Andrea N. Giancoli, MPH, RD spokesperson for The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Plus, even mild dehydration will slow down metabolism by as much as 3 percent.
Speaking of essential for life…drinking a good amount of water could lower your risk of a heart attack. A six-year study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who drank more than five glasses of water a day were 41 percent less likely to die from a heart attack during the study period than those who drank less than two glasses. Bonus: Drinking all that water may reduce cancer risk as well. Research shows that staying hydrated can reduce risk of colon cancer by 45 percent, bladder cancer by 50 percent, and possibly reduce breast cancer risk too.
The most debilitating kind as well: Migraines. In one study published in the journal Neurology, scientists recruited migraine sufferers and divided them into two groups: one took a placebo, the others were told to drink 1.5 liters of water (about six cups) in addition to their usual daily intake. At the end of two weeks, the water group had experienced 21 fewer hours of pain than those in the placebo group, as well as a decrease in pain intensity.
Your brain needs a lot of oxygen to function at optimum levels, so drinking plenty of water ensures that it's getting all it needs. In fact, drinking eight to 10 cups of water per day can improve your levels of cognitive performance by as much as 30 percent.
The door swings both ways: Research shows that a dehydration level of just 1 percent of your body weight reduces thinking functions, so staying well-hydrated is super important for your mental performance .
Making water your go-to drink saves a lot of money in the long run. Even though 60 percent of the U.S. population buys bottled water , it's still cheaper, on average, than juices, sodas, and Starbucks- especially when you buy it by the case. What's even cheaper: buying a filter and drinking water out of the tap. To put it in perspective, replacing your daily can of soda at lunch with a free-from-the-tap glass of water (or water cooler if you have access to one) can save you about $180 a year.
Dehydration is the single most common cause of daytime fatigue , so if your afternoon slump is more like a desperate need for an afternoon nap, guzzle a glass of water. It can also make you better at your job, or at least prevent you from being bad at a it-just a two percent dehydration level can trigger short-term memory problems and difficulty focusing on a computer screen or printed page.
All of us have suffered from food poisoning at some point in life. Here are few home remedies to cure it. You may have had those mouthwatering frankies from the roadside stall, or gobbled down a plateful of golguppas in a go, only to find severe stomach ache and diarrhea within a couple of days. It's probably food poisoning you're suffering from and you've caught it at least once in your life, from the deceptively harmless looking contaminated foods. With symptoms ranging from mild to severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness and dehydration, food poisoning is a condition not to be ignored. Listed below are a few effective home remedies to cure food poisoning, right from grandma's own medicine chest.
Garlic: Garlic has long been used in cooking, for both its full-bodied flavor and its healthy properties. Garlic has strong anti-bacterial effects, helps reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and unhealthy fat levels in the body. Now there's a good reason why the ubiquitous ginger-garlic paste is found in dishes across every region in India.
Buttermilk: Buttermilk is a drink full of good health, and easy to make at home. It provides the body with essential nutrients and is very low on fat and calorie content. Chop up from fresh coriander and green chillies to it, add a little salt and pepper, and you have a refreshing, healthy homemade drink.
Moong dal: Moong dal brings you your required dose of vitamins and minerals. Rich in Vitamin A, B, C, and E, as well as calcium, iron and potassium, it is a great source of protein and fibre, with very low fat content. Moong dal helps lower cholesterol, and control blood sugar levels in the body. A cup of dal to accompany your rotis is a great way to plan dinner.

Francis and Philip (Update)
In his homily this morning, during Mass with bishop, priests, religious, and seminarians, Pope Francis urged them: "Be servants of communion and of the culture of encounter!"
It brought to mind the letter sent ten years ago by the late Monsignor Philip Murnion to the Bishops of the United States – literally as he lay dying. Philip wrote:
A spirituality of communion and dialogue is as demanding in its asceticism as a spirituality of the desert or the cloister. Like them, it also requires its own appropriate structures. The Catholic tradition knows well that spirituality and structure are not opposed. Here, as elsewhere, it affirms the "both/and" of charism and institution, invisible grace and visible embodiment. Both are essential, though only one is eternal. We can ill afford to be less Catholic than the pope himself who insists: "The spirituality of communion, by prompting a trust and openness wholly in accord with the dignity and responsibility of every member of the people of God, supplies institutional reality with a soul."
The Pope Philip was quoting was John Paul II. Francis seems to be implementing the program.
Update: In a blunt and programmatic address to the leadership of the Latin American Episcopal Conference Pope Francis laid out his vision of renewal in the Church. Many of the themes have appeared piecemeal over these weeks; but here they form an integral whole.
He said for example:
In practice, do we make the lay faithful sharers in the Mission? Do we offer them the word of God and the sacraments with a clear awareness and conviction that the Holy Spirit makes himself manifest in them?
Is pastoral discernment a habitual criterion, through the use of Diocesan Councils? Do such Councils and Parish Councils, whether pastoral or financial, provide real opportunities for lay people to participate in pastoral consultation, organization and planning? The good functioning of these Councils is critical. I believe that on this score, we are far behind.
And in a succinct statement of his passionate persuasion:
Missionary discipleship is a vocation: a call and an invitation. It is given in the "today", but also "in tension". There is no such thing as static missionary discipleship. A missionary disciple cannot be his own master, his immanence is in tension towards the transcendence of discipleship and towards the transcendence of mission. It does not allow for self-absorption: either it points to Jesus Christ or it points to the people to whom he must be proclaimed. The missionary disciple is a self-transcending subject, a subject projected towards encounter: an encounter with the Master (who anoints us as his disciples) and an encounter with men and women who await the message.
Hold on – the next months will be quite a ride. Or, better, as he would insist: go forth and share the Good News!

In his adress to Bishops (only) on the same day, Francis said:
"Let us not reduce the involvement of women in the Church, but instead promote their active role in the ecclesial community. By losing women, the Church risks becoming sterile."
"Another lesson which the Church must constantly recall is that she cannot leave simplicity behind; otherwise she forgets how to speak the language of Mystery. Not only does she herself remain outside the door of the mystery, but she proves incapable of approaching those who look to the Church for something which they themselves cannot provide, namely, God himself. At times we lose people because they don't understand what we are saying, because we have forgotten the language of simplicity and import an intellectualism foreign to our people. Without the grammar of simplicity, the Church loses the very conditions which make it possible "to fish" for God in the deep waters of his Mystery."

John Hayes,
Thanks for calling attention to this important address of Pope Francis to the Bishops of Brazil.
This link may be better:
The pope said: "Today, we need a Church capable of walking at people's side, of doing more than simply listening to them;"
But the "Church" ( I assume he means clergy and hierarchy only when saying "Church' rather than THE church of 1.1 billion) doesn't listen. And since they don't listen they are not capable of walking with the people.
The "church" (hierarchy/clergy) has to realize it can't just talk to it also has to listen. Until they show that they can listen, it is premature to talk about the "church" walking with the people.
I agree, Anne. Pope Francis seems to be assuming that the hierarchy does listen. But with very few exceptions they don't. Somewhere else he said that the bishops must "dialogue, dialogue, dialogue". But dialogue with t he laity doesn't seem to be part of any of the hierarchy's plans. They don't even seem to dialogue with the theologians. It's all a one way verbal street.
"Today, we need a Church capable of walking at people's side, of doing more than simply listening to them;"
I can hear Fr. Congar asking: "Pro quo supponit Ecclesia?" What does the word "Church" mean here? Are the people not the Church? So then does it mean the hierarchy?
Ann is right that there's not a great deal of listening going on, although I'd be less sweeping in her indictment of the hierarchy: there are hierarchs and there are hierarchs; some listen, some don't. The real problem is that there aren't sufficient institutions for such dialogue and listening. The great failure of Vatican II was that it gave so little attention to institutions needed to concretize its vision of the Church.
Francis, in yet another address:
"Peaceful coexistence between different religions is favoured by the laicity of the state, which, without appropriating any one confessional stance, respects and esteems the presence of the religious dimension in society, while fostering its more concrete expressions."
"When leaders in various fields ask me for advice, my response is always the same: dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. It is the only way for individuals, families and societies to grow, the only way for the life of peoples to progress, along with the culture of encounter, a culture in which all have something good to give and all can receive something good in return. Others always have something to give me, if we know how to approach them in a spirit of openness and without prejudice. I call this attitude of openness and availability without prejudice, social humility, and it is this that favours dialogue. Only in this way can understanding grow between cultures and religions, mutual esteem without needless preconceptions, respectful of the rights of everyone. Today, either we stand together with the culture of dialogue and encounter, or we all loose, we all loose; from here we can take the right road that makes the journey fruitful and secure."

Pope Francis has been quoted above as saying, "Today, we need a Church capable of walking at people's side, of doing more than simply listening."
In making this statement, Pope Francis credits the capitalized "Church" of 1.1 billion members, including the authority structure of the Church, with listening to other people in the world.
But he challenges the 1.1 billion members of the Church, including the authority structure of the Church, to do more that simply listen to other people.
He challenges the 1.1 billion members of the Church to walk at other people's side -- presumably to walk alongside other people of goodwill in the world.
But he hints that the 1.1 billion members of the Church, including the authoritystructure ofthe Church, are not capable of walking at other people's side, so he says that "we need a Church capable of walking at people's side."
So what all does he mean by walking at people's side?
And why isn't the Church already capable of walking at people's side? It strikes me that there is a hint of a critique of the Church in this statement.
If you missed the Mass at Copacabana Beach this morning, you can see it here, posted by Vatican News Service
Maybe wen he talks to bishops only, by "Church" pope Francis means bishops; when he talks to clergy and seminarians, by "Church" he means clergy; when he talks at Mass, by "Church" he means all Catholics; and when he gives a speech, by "Church" he means all Christians. Whoever he's talking to, he can say that "we" are the Church.
Francis, speaking to the Bishop of the CELAM conference identifies some "temptations against missionary discipleship"
1. Making the Gospel message an ideology. This is a temptation which has been present in the Church from the beginning: the attempt to interpret the Gospel apart from the Gospel itself and apart from the Church. An example: Aparecida, at one particular moment, felt this temptation. It employed, and rightly so, the method of "see, judge and act" (cf. No. 19). The temptation, though, was to opt for a way of "seeing" which was completely "antiseptic", detached and unengaged, which is impossible. The way we "see" is always affected by the way we direct our gaze. There is no such thing as an "antiseptic" hermeneutics. The question was, rather: How are we going to look at reality in order to see it? Aparecida replied: With the eyes of discipleship. This is the way Nos. 20-32 are to be understood. There are other ways of making the message an ideology, and at present proposals of this sort are appearing in Latin America and the Caribbean. I mention only a few:
a) Sociological reductionism. This is the most readily available means of making the message an ideology. At certain times it has proved extremely influential. It involves an interpretative claim based on a hermeneutics drawn from the social sciences. It extends to the most varied fields, from market liberalism to Marxist categorization.
b) Psychologizing. Here we have to do with an elitist hermeneutics which ultimately reduces the "encounter with Jesus Christ" and its development to a process of growing self- awareness. It is ordinarily to be found in spirituality courses, spiritual retreats, etc. It ends up being an immanent, self-centred approach. It has nothing to do with transcendence and consequently, with missionary spirit.
c) The Gnostic solution. Closely linked to the previous temptation, it is ordinarily found in elite groups offering a higher spirituality, generally disembodied, which ends up in a preoccupation with certain pastoral "quaestiones disputatae". It was the first deviation in the early community and it reappears throughout the Church's history in ever new and revised versions. Generally its adherents are known as "enlightened Catholics" (since they are in fact rooted in the culture of the Enlightenment).
d) The Pelagian solution. This basically appears as a form of restorationism. In dealing with the Church's problems, a purely disciplinary solution is sought, through the restoration of outdated manners and forms which, even on the cultural level, are no longer meaningful. In Latin America it is usually to be found in small groups, in some new religious congregations, in tendencies to doctrinal or disciplinary "safety". Basically it is static, although it is capable of inversion, in a process of regression. It seeks to "recover" the lost past.
2. Functionalism. Its effect on the Church is paralyzing. More than being interested in the road itself, it is concerned with fixing holes in the road. A functionalist approach has no room for mystery; it aims at efficiency. It reduces the reality of the Church to the structure of an NGO. What counts are quantifiable results and statistics. The Church ends up being run like any other business organization. It applies a sort of "theology of prosperity" to the organization of pastoral work.
3. Clericalism is also a temptation very present in Latin America. Curiously, in the majority of cases, it has to do with a sinful complicity: the priest clericalizes the lay person and the lay person kindly asks to be clericalized, because deep down it is easier. The phenomenon of clericalism explains, in great part, the lack of maturity and Christian freedom in a good part of the Latin American laity. Either they simply do not grow (the majority), or else they take refuge in forms of ideology like those we have just seen, or in partial and limited ways of belonging. Yet in our countries there does exist a form of freedom of the laity which finds expression in communal experiences: Catholic as community. Here one sees a greater autonomy, which on the whole is a healthy thing, basically expressed through popular piety. The chapter of the Aparecida document on popular piety describes this dimension in detail. The spread of bible study groups, of ecclesial basic communities and of Pastoral Councils is in fact helping to overcome clericalism and to increase lay responsibility.
We could continue by describing other temptations against missionary discipleship, but I consider these to be the most important and influential at present for Latin America and the Caribbean.
5. Some ecclesiological guidelines
1. The missionary discipleship which Aparecida proposed to the Churches of Latin America and the Caribbean is the journey which God desires for the present "today".

More from Francis in that speech:
"3. In practice, do we make the lay faithful sharers in the Mission? Do we offer them the word of God and the sacraments with a clear awareness and conviction that the Holy Spirit makes himself manifest in them?
4. Is pastoral discernment a habitual criterion, through the use of Diocesan Councils? Do such Councils and Parish Councils, whether pastoral or financial, provide real opportunities for lay people to participate in pastoral consultation, organization and planning? The good functioning of these Councils is critical. I believe that on this score, we are far behind.
5. As pastors, bishops and priests, are we conscious and convinced of the mission of the lay faithful and do we give them the freedom to continue discerning, in a way befitting their growth as disciples, the mission which the Lord has entrusted to them? Do we support them and accompany them, overcoming the temptation to manipulate them or infantilize them? Are we constantly open to letting ourselves be challenged in our efforts to advance the good of the Church and her mission in the world?
6. Do pastoral agents and the faithful in general feel part of the Church, do they identify with her and bring her closer to the baptized who are distant and alienated?

of the Vatican Radio website
Francis' comment about pastoral councils reminded me of my uneasiness last week when our pastor announced at Mass that he had consulted with the pastoral council and "he" had decided to change the Mass schedule.
Technically, that is correct. If everyone on the pastoral council was opposed to changing the Mass schedule, he could still do it on his own - his obligation is only to consult them, not to follow their advice..
I haven't heard of any disagreement about the new Mass schedule so this came across as "even though the Pastoral Council and I agreed on this issue, I want to make sure that you understand that I get to make the decisions in the end"
Unfortunate. "We have decided to change the Mass schedule" would have been more respectful to the Council (I am not involved).
"Leonardo Boff, a prominent liberation theologian who was reprimanded in the 1980s by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future Benedict XVI , said Francis was repositioning the Catholic Church "from a fortress to an open house."
"We're exiting two papacies characterized by the return to great discipline and the control of doctrines," Mr. Boff, 74, a former Franciscan priest, wrote during the pope's visit. "With Pope Francis, coming from outside old European Christianity, he brings hope and enjoyment of life."
Regarding simplicity - the Holy Father himself has a very simple and direct way of speaking. His homilies don't seem to be nearly as dense as those of his two predecessors. I like the direct simplicity.
"The real problem is that there aren't sufficient institutions for such dialogue and listening. The great failure of Vatican II was that it gave so little attention to institutions needed to concretize its vision of the Church."
Have there ever been in the history of the Church institutions which provide the opportunity for the theologians, lower clergy and laity to insist on dialogue with the bishops? How did Augustine get to know his flock's thinking?
In the Middle Ages at least the theologians were expected to answered questions from the laity on certain occations. Aquinas, for instance, answered all sorts of questions directly from the public (e.g., "Is it true that the baby Jesus fashioned the stars with His own hands?") As I remember the questioning was held on certain feast days in open fields, but I could be mis-remembering that.
When have the bishops been available, if ever, to dialogue? Or just answer questions?
What sort of institution for such dialogue would be practical for today? Something using the internet maybe?
John H. --
Thanks for Francis' speech. ISTM it shows he will take action only after thinking about the problems at hand in depth and systematically. Curia, look out! A different sort of intelligence from Benedict's.
What sort of institution for such dialogue would be practical for today? Something using the internet maybe
Definitely! The analogy with Aquinas is a good thing. The "landscape" is different but the principle is the same. We all need to have vital relationships and meaningful exchanges with all of us who take faith seriously. The internet, blogs, etc. can be effective forums for this to occurr. It does take some getting used to and there are drawback but pluses. For example, the communication can be disembodied although that is both a a plus and drawback.
Experimentation is occurring and it will take some time for it to be incorporated.
Bottom line, where there is a will there is a way. If there are no institutional vehicles for dialogue it is because there was no real desire to have dialogue in the first place!
Any leader who really wants dialogue can have it and access it. Not a complicated problem.
His homilies don't seem to be nearly as dense as those of his predecessor
And, if I may add, not as precise. There is more redundancy and less clear accuracy. Maybe that is much more effective for public speaking to a general audience.
His speech to the bishops is extraordinary. When was the last time a pope gave such a strong push for pastoral councils? But there are many other novel suggestions, things I don't think I have heard in my lifetime. How about that on the role of bishops:
The Bishop has to be among his people in three ways: in front of them, pointing the way; among them, keeping them together and preventing them from being scattered; and behind them, ensuring that no one is left behind, but also, and primarily, so that the flock itself can sniff out new paths.
Amazing. Just amazing. Can the church institution become something other than an obstacle in the way of people who are trying to think or do new things?
Encouraged by that stance, people now ought to start voicing their ideas. What have they been keeping to themselves for fear of condemnation?
Now, translating that encouragement to action: will there be any change in the way in which the CDF comes after theologians who are trying out new paths?
The real problem is that there aren't sufficient institutions for such dialogue and listening.
That is a problem, but is it not a consequence of a prior and greater problem, a simple reluctance to listen rooted in the old belief, still powerful but now often unspoken, that lay people are not called to participate in any effective way in the governance of the Church, their role being to listen and say "Amen"? And pay the bills, of course.
Like the teacher who is said to appear when the student is ready, institutions for dialogue will arise almost effortlessly when they are genuinely desired. But let everyone understand, real dialogue brings with it the risk of having to acknowledge that your interlocutor is right and you are wrong.
Ann: Newman made your point about the Middle Ages. Two paragraphs, one from a letter, the other from his Apologia:
Why was it that the Medieval Schools were so vigorous? becaus they were allowed free and fair play--because the disputants were not made to feel the bit in their mouths at every word they spoke, but could move their limbs freely and expatiate at will. Then, when they were wrong, a stronger and truer intellect set them down--and, as time went on, if the dispute got perilous, and a controversialist obstinate, then at length Rome interfered--at length, not at first--Truth is wrought out by many minds, working together freely. As far as I can make out, this has ever been the rule of the Church till now when the first French Revolution having destroyed the Schools of Europe, a sort of centralization has been established at headquarters--and the individual thinker in France, England, or Germany is brought into immediate collision with the most sacred authorities of the Divine Polity (Letters and Diaries, XX, p. 426.).
I do not see then how any objection about the narrowness of theology comes into our question, which simply is, whether the belief in an Infallible authority destroys the independence of the mind; and I consider that the whole history of the Church, and especially the history of the theological schools, gives a negative to the accusation. There never was a time when the intellect of the educated class was more active, or rather more restless, than in the middle ages. And then again all through Church history from the first, how slow is authority in interfering! Perhaps a local teacher, or a doctor in some local school, hazards a proposition, and a controversy ensues. It smoulders or burns in one place, no one interposing; Rome simply lets it alone. Then it comes before a Bishop; or some priest, or some professor in some other seat of learning takes it up; and then there is a second stage of it. Then it comes before a University, and it may be condemned by the theological faculty. So the controversy proceeds year after year, and Rome is still silent. An appeal perhaps is next made to a seat of authority inferior to Rome; and then at last after a long while it comes before the supreme power. Meanwhile, the question has been ventilated and turned over and over again, and viewed on every side of it, and {358} authority is called upon to pronounce a decision, which has already been arrived at by reason. But even then, perhaps the supreme authority hesitates to do so, and nothing is determined on the point for years; or so generally and vaguely, that the whole controversy has to be gone through again, before it is ultimately determined. It is manifest how a mode of proceeding, such as this, tends not only to the liberty, but to the courage, of the individual theologian or controversialist. Many a man has ideas, which he hopes are true, and useful for his day, but he <is not confident about them, and> wishes to have them discussed. He is willing or rather would be thankful to give them up, if they can be proved to be erroneous or dangerous, and by means of controversy he obtains his end. He is answered, and he yields; or <on the contrary> he finds that he is considered safe. He would not dare to do this, if he knew an authority, which was supreme and final, was watching every word he said, and made signs of assent or dissent to each sentence, as he uttered it. Then indeed he would be fighting, as the Persian soldiers, under the lash, and the freedom of his intellect might truly be said to be beaten out of him. But this has not been so:—I do not mean to say that, when controversies run high, in schools or even in small portions of the Church, an interposition may not rightly take place; and again, questions may be of that urgent nature, that an appeal must, as a matter of duty, be made at once to the highest authority in the Church; but, if we look into the history of controversy, we shall find, I think, the general run of things to be such as I have represented it (Apologia, 357-58).
The reference in the letter to centralization is important. In the nineteenth century, while resisting the move in secular political and social life towards the omni-competent centralized State (e.g., the France of the Napoleonic Code), Rome was, consciously or not, in fact adopting it for the governance of the Church. And as the secular development tended to eliminate or to emasculate intermediate bodies so that all that would remain would be the all-powerful State and the lonely individual, so in the Church intermediate bodies were increasingly deprived of significance, so that "immediate collisions" would occur between the theologian and the centralized power of Rome.
Institutional reform, I believe, has to aim at re-invigorating those intermediate instances.
I think it's just great he's calling on us to get out there and evangelize, not just sit in our parishes talking among ourselves. Also, really appreciate the nod to the laity; wouldn't be much of a church without us.
I like his simple sermons as well. It's always bothered me that while much of the Gospels is really clear and strightforward (radical, but straightforward), we've layered on so much over the centuries to make it incomprehensible. It's one thing to enrich our understanding over time, another thing to make Jesus' message so complicated normal people can't understand it.
That's a very poignant letter from Monsignor Murnion. Did it have an impact when it was written?
On the plane back to Rome, Francis answered questions from reporters for over an hour - and said some interesting things.
John Allen reports:
John Hayes,
"Interesting" is putting it mildly!
Lots there, but I'll just lift up this homely piece:
" As always, the ones who aren't saints make the most noise … a single tree falling makes a sound, but a whole forest growing doesn't."
And of course that sound gets magnified by the media no end.
Regarding that interview on the plane, when he said that John Paul II definitively closed the door on women priests. That had been my understanding, but I wasn't sure: I had thought that the question of women priests had been on the table, until John Paul the II took it off.
If that's the case, I don't think John Paul II should be canonized.
When John Paul II used the term definitive I had the impression he was stopping short of claiming infallibility on the matter, perhaps on advice of counsel, so to speak, and trying to get the effect of an order that cannot be changed or challenged without literally making the claim. Perhaps Pope Francis has been talking to el viejo about this matter?
From the Pope's airborne news conference:
On the ordination of women, the church has spoken and said no. John Paul II, in a definitive formulation, said that door is closed.
Watch those metaphors, Your Holiness. A wall is meant to be a permanent barrier. It is the nature and purpose of doors to be opened as well as closed.
From the Vatican News version of the Press Conference:
Speaking of other problems within the administration of the Holy See, including rumours of a 'gay lobby' within the Vatican, Pope Francis said there are many saintly people working in the Curia but also those who are not so saintly and cause scandals which harm the Church. Quoting from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, he said that people with homosexual tendencies must not be excluded but should be integrated into society. "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?" he asked.
Questioned about the role of women in the Church, the Pope said the issue of ordination is 'a closed door' but he said he would like to see more women in leadership roles. Just as Mary was more important than the Apostles, he said, so women today are more important than bishops and priests and there is a great need for theology to explore and explain this better.
Text from page http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/07/29/pope_holds_press_conference_on_flight_back_from_brazil/en1-715192
of the Vatican Radio website
Andrea Torinelli - most detailed report I have seen to date - it includes some points not mentioned elsewhere.
To put women down by saying they are a special case, wonderful, admirable, " important" . . . but of course not suited to some roles within the Church--doesn't that marginalize them quite effectively?. It's a very old trick, and it works. So much for outreach?
The version from http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/the-vatican/detail/articolo/gmg-268... is more specific than the Vatican News version regarding the quote on women:
"The Church has discussed the ordination of women bishops [emphasis mine] and has decided against it. John Paul II gave a definitive answer to this so that door is closed."
here is the Italian: "Per quanto riguarda l'ordinazione delle donne, la Chiesa ha parlato e ha detto no. Giovanni Paolo II si è pronunciato con una formulazione definitiva, quella porta è chiusa."
And hre's the Spanish: "En cuanto a las ordenaciones de las mujeres, la Iglesia ha hablado y ha dicho que no. Juan Pablo II se pronunció con una formulación definitiva, esa puerta está cerrada."
I'm not sure what language he answered the question in; but he certainly did not say "bishops."
'Is pastoral discernment a habitual criterion, through the use of Diocesan Councils? Do such Councils and Parish Councils, whether pastoral or financial, provide real opportunities for lay people to participate in pastoral consultation, organization and planning? The good functioning of these Councils is critical. I believe that on this score, we are far behind."
How easy it is to change the meaning of a sentence completely by inserting or omitting a single word.
I should know better, but with this pope I never know what to expect any more. People put words in his mouth, and I can't even tell! I imagine his staff must be nervous.
(Please reinstate the edit feature … please!)
As I thought I was going to say:
Canon Law only mandates Finance Councils, not Pastoral Councils. Even that mandate is so loosely defined and enforced, that it is the rare FC that has any meaningful effect on the local scene. The parish pastor completely controls who will serve, how often they will meet and the effect, if any, of their recommendations (not decisions). If he doesn't like what he hears, he can replace individual members or total membership. In way too many cases FCs are nothing more than …. "a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his (their) hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
I have been a member of 2 FCs in the same parish. The first was treated by the pastor as a contributing partner and he took our recommendations seriously. He was replaced and the new man simply ignored what we recommended. He didn't even attend the meetings. The membership finally resigned in disgust and he didn't even replace the FC for 18 months. The parish membership itself had absolutely no say whatsoever in the financial or other secular management of the parish.
Need I say that contributions dropped off precipitously, necessitating staff cutbacks and layoffs?
On the issue of women's ordination I have no reason to doubt that Francis really means he is not interested in revising, reexamining JPII's "definitive" teaching.
Certainly a big part of me wishes this weren't so and women would join the clerical class pronto.
But stepping back, taking something of the long view (but hopefully not too long), I am very interested in Francis's repeated condemnations of clericalism and his very clear call to give women more leadership roles in the Church.
I wonder if there is any chance we could see a change in canon law, going back to pre-1917 rules which allowed for lay Cardinals? Of course, along with that change, would have to be the more revolutionary change of admitting women to the College. None of the weak theological arguments against women priests would have any relevance. Being a Cardinal, an advisor and elector, has nothing to do with acting in persona Christi. And really, the only reason lay women never had this role pre-1917 is due to historical sexism, which the Church rightly recognizes as sinful.
We need this movement in the Church -- Lay Cardinal Women Right-away. L.C.W.R. -- Where have I seen those initials before? I am using "lay" to mean someone not given major orders -- obviously women in religious life would be some of the most likely women candidates. Joan Cardinal Chittister comes to mind.
By the way, the head of the USCCB and Fr. Imbelli's boss is on the record saying there is no theological reason for excluding women from the College of Cardinals.
I was reminded of these words of pope Francis in his address to the leadership of the CELAM:
God is real and he shows himself in the "today". With regard to the past, his presence is given to us as "memory" of his saving work, both in his people and in each of us as individuals; with regard to the future, he gives himself to us as "promise" and hope. In the past God was present and left his mark: memory helps us to encounter him; in the future is promise alone… he is not in the thousand and one "futuribles". The "today" is closest to eternity; even more: the "today" is a flash of eternity. In the "today", eternal life is in play.
when I saw this succinct quote in the Tel-Aviv museum of the diaspora (quote from Abba Kovner, WWII concentration camp survivor):
"Remember the past, live the present, trust the future."

Max Welti is the new Head of Motorsportat Lamborghini
Lamborghini SpA has signed Max Welti as new Head of Motorsport. The 60 year old Swiss national will report directly to Lamborghini's Board Member for Research and Development, Maurizio Reggiani. He will be active in his new role for Squadra Corse for the firsttime this weekend at the Lamborghini Super Trofeo night race in Misano, ltaly.
''l'm delighted that in Max Welti we've been able to gain such a seasoned and recognised manager for our newly initiated motorsport programme," said Maurizio Reggiani. "We launched the Squadra Corse in the 50th anniversary year of Lamborghini and we have ambitious plans in motorsport. Max Welti's experience as a manager and engineer will help us to successfully position Lamborghini on the race track in the lang run," he added.
There are very few practitioners with such deep industry expertise as Welti; he studied mechanical enginering in Lausanneandin his home city of Zurich and competed as a race driver hirnself in his early career. ln the heyday of the World Sportscar Championship, Max Welti was Team Managerat Sauber-Mercedes. Under his tenure, two World Championship titles and victory at the 1989 Le Mans 24 Hours were won. As Head of Motorsportat Porsche, he was responsible for the Le Mans victory in 1994, among other achievements. Thereafter, Welti was Team Director at Sauber in Formula 1, subsequently Manager of the V8STAR tauring car racing seriesandas Team Director, A1 Team Switzerland became the most successful national team of the A1 Grand Prix Series. As a manager of drivers and a consultant to sponsors as weil as the media, he has developed many different perspectives on the motorsport industry over the years.
"l've experienced a Iot in motorsport, but I particularly Iook forward to this new challenge," Max Welti said. "Lamborghini is an extremely fascinating brand with a lang and great tradition, fantastic sports cars and an exciting vision for the future. l'm proud to have the opportunity to contribute my part to the success of the brand as Head of Squadra Corse."
Motorsport plays a central role for Lamborghini. With driving experiences at the wheel of production sports cars, the 'Super Trofeo' one-make cups in America, Asia and Europe plus professional GT spart in co-operation with Reiter Engineering, Squadra Corse is already affering amateur racers and professionals an attractive, stepped programme that will be progressively extended.

This question was marked as an exact duplicate of an existing question.
If it's a new site, give it some time.
You can review for any crawl errors in Webmaster Tools > Health > Crawl Errors to see if there are any problems with the site preventing Google from crawling.
If the content on these other pages is not unique Google may choose not to include it in the index, too.
I have found this too, it puzzled me for ages but I think I've found what's causing it. As Gabriel said Google may not chose to include those pages into the index because of content being either not unique, not enough content or not relevant enough.
If you look under Webmaster Tools > Health > Index Status > Advanced you can see how many pages Google looked at and its "Total Indexed" amount and also its "Not Selected" amount.
The best way I've found for it to index your pages is to build links, either to the site in general or particular pages that aren't indexed; it doesn't have to be tons of links but just a couple tends to make Google see those pages as slightly more authoritative .

I have been trying to edit links within lists to change their overall functionality, but have had no luck with changing any property of the links' functions. The properties I have tried to change thus far are the text-decoration and the href destination. This is my code for attempting to change the href destination.
$(".ms-vb2 a, .ms-vb-title a, .ms-vb-user a").each(function () {
var itemText = $(this).text();
$(this).html("" + itemText + '');
The idea is that I want all of the links to hold the text of the original SharePoint list items, but to link me to something other than a list actions menu. An additional note: I have been able to change text properties, such as font color, but not link properties, such as href.

So initially Dummit, Kisilevsky and McKay found all Dedekind $\eta$-products which are newforms. This result was subsequently generalized by Martin. Further, Ono and Martin provide an exhaustive list of modular elliptic curves whose associated modular forms is expressible as an $\eta$-quotient.
Also, it is known that $$ E_4(z) = \dfrac{\eta(z)^{16}}{\eta(2z)^8} + 2^8 \cdot \dfrac{\eta(2z)^{16}}{\eta(z)^8} $$ and $$ E_6(z) = \dfrac{\eta(z)^{24}}{\eta(2z)^{12}} - 2^5 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot \eta(2z)^{12}- 2^9 \cdot 3 \cdot 11 \cdot \dfrac{\eta(2z)^{16}}{\eta(z)^8} + 2^{13} \cdot \dfrac{\eta(4z)^{24}}{\eta(12)^{12}}, $$ leading Ono to pose the question in his book "Web of Modularity", which spaces of modular forms are generated by eta-quotients. This question was addressed somewhat in this paper (http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0701478v1.pdf) by Kilford.
My question is, what is the motivation for this question by Ono as most of these expressions are rather "messy". Is this just a question of interest in itself or are there further consequences to this open question? Why are spaces generated by $\eta$-quotients of interest as opposed to some other modular form such as the Eisenstein series?
Also is there an algorithm that given a modular form that can be expressed as a linear combination (or even rational function), can compute the corresponding expression?

Taste Buds: WVNCC
Buds enjoy lunch prepared by culinary arts students
November 7, 2013
The Buds can't think of a better way to usher in fall than by being guests at the fall meal series put on by the culinary arts program at West Virginia Northern Community College....
These pictures are some of the best looking food I have seen in a long time and from culinary students at that!!! I am impressed the salad is not on a paper plate like all the other food photographed and reviewed from other establishments.

[Columbia, Mo.] - The 207 Sisters, friends and family of Columbia police officer Molly Bowden, presented Columbia College with a $5,000 check today to help fund the Molly S. Thomas Bowden Scholarship. The 207 Sisters raised the funds through a garage sale held Sept. 17.
Bowden died in February 2005 from injuries she sustained in the line of duty a month earlier.
"Columbia College is honored to accept this check for the Bowden scholarship. We sincerely appreciate the 207 Sisters' considerable time and effort in raising these funds," said Dr. Gerald T. Brouder, president of Columbia College. "We also are grateful for the Thomas family's generosity in establishing the scholarship in their daughter's name. It will help other women who share Molly's dream of attending college and advancing their careers."
When fully funded, the Bowden Scholarship will provide a full-tuition scholarship to a female majoring in criminal justice administration or forensic science with a 3.0 GPA who attends the Day Campus or Evening Campus at Columbia College. Bowden graduated from the college in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration. Her husband, Corey, also is a Columbia College graduate.
For information about contributing to the Bowden Memorial Scholarship at Columbia College, contact Bill Sheehan, executive director of Development and Alumni Services, at (573) 875-7563.
Columbia College serves more than 20,000 students each year at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Nationwide Campuses, Online Campus and Graduate Studies program.
The college was founded in 1851 as Christian Female College and was renamed Columbia College in 1970 when it became coeducational.

This is a question most of us have faced while programming. Getting stuck! It might be a programmatic problem or tool problem, most of us eventually face it.
You know something is supposed to work some way but just doesn't. You tried a number of things to solve it but isn't helping and you are not sure why.
I once remember being stuck hours at programming job. Eventually I figured out for some reason or other my IDE wasn't recompiling my new changes in some of the classes .This is just an example but I am sure most you have faced similar situation.
So how would you go about solving it if you didn't have access to Google or Stack Exchange? Lets be honest, using internet you aren't solving the problem, somebody else is doing it for you. So if you didn't have access to internet or a friend who might help, how would you go about solving it?
A very good article about this topic

With the advent of the new iPad, which has a retina display, I started thinking about what exactly a retina display is. I know it has higher resolution, but what exactly is the definition of a retina display?
Retina displays
To user Philip Schiller's own words from the WWDC2012:
There is no industry standard for "retina display". The term retina display is relative, as the definition follows the human eyes's perception of a display's sharpness.
When the iPhone 4 was introduced, Steve Jobs made the following definition:
Because this definition is relative, calling a display a retina display depends on two factors:
Both the iPhone 4S and the new iPad have "retina displays" when you apply Steve Job's definition. A mathematical explanation can be found in this answer.
Retina display is a marketing term invented by Apple; it means whatever they say it means. They have said in the keynote address for the iPhone 4 that it is a display in which, when viewed by an average person at an average viewing distance, individual pixels can not be discerned.
ᔥ Chris Brandrick: iPhone 4's Retina Display Explained
The iPad (3rd generation) Retina display has a lower pixel density, but it is presumed that the average viewing distance is greater.
The definition according to Wikipedia:
A retina display is one that equals or surpasses the human eye in resolution - in other words where the resolution of the display is higher than the visual acuity of the eye. Specifically the fovia centralis which is the central region of the retina with the highest visual acuity, or sharpness.
The fovia centralis in the typical human eye can discern two lines as separate when they are more that 57 arcseconds apart, taking the eye as the center of the angle. That's 0.16 degrees apart. For instance, hold your hand at arms length and examine the hairs. You'll find that hairs that are very close together will appear to be one hair, but as you bring your hand closer you'll notice there are two or more hair where previously you thought there was only one.
Apple has determined (or decided...) that people hold their phones about 10" (25.4cm) from their eyes. At that distance the portion of the eye with highest visual acuity (fovia centralis) cannot discern two pixels that are 3 thousandths of an inch apart as separate pixels. The ipad is held about 15" away from your eyes, and at that distance your eye cannot discern two pixels that are 4 thousandths of an inch apart as separate pixels.
Therefore, at the ideal viewing distance, the resolution of these "retina" devices equals or exceeds the visual acuity of the portion of the human eye with the highest visual acuity - meaning that at those distances one cannot tell two adjacent pixels apart, and it appears to be one seamless image composed of continuous tones as one sees in nature, rather than a digital device composed of discrete lights.
This does mean that at a certain distance your monitor pixels will exceed your eye's visual acuity. The distinction is that there's a typical or ideal viewing distance for each display device, be it a monitor, TV, theater, or billboard. If, at that distance, the device exceeds the visual acuity of the fovia centralis, then it could be termed a retina display in the way apple is using the term. A simple trademark search for retina and retina display suggests that Apple has not trademarked this term, and none of their advertising copy has trademark near the term, so others may be able to use this term to describe their products in other ways.
It has to do with normal viewing distance. The new MacBook Pro has a lower dpi than the iPad, which has a lower dpi than the iPhone, but you will normally view them from respectively farther distances. At that distance it should be impossible to discern individual pixels. I wonder how many HDTVs technically count as "retina displays" if you consider the normal viewing distance to be from across the room.
But note that if you stick even the iPhone right in your face you can glimpse individual pixels.
