RCRD LBL - East West Funk
It's been a minute since we broke down the origins of nu-disco's brightest act, so here's a refresher. Jessica 6—named for a Logan's Run reference and composed of former members of Hercules & Love Affair—has incited silky smooth dance parties (likely followed by tender baby-making sessions) for about three years now, despite the absence of a proper LP. Their sound is so rich and hypnotic, they could probably keep us waiting another three without complaint, but instead they've chosen to reward fans of funky by releasing their debut, See The Light, as well as "East West Funk"—a b-side gift of bongos, bass, and fly-ass disco fusion. Much appreciated, guys.

I need to quote from a journal written in Arabic. What should I do? Write it first in Arabic then followed by translation and indicating that it is my own translation (translated by author)? Can I avoid this by paraphrasing? I mean if I'm not quoting the original source directly would it be OK to not state that it is my translation?
migrated from english.stackexchange.com Jan 25 '13 at 9:42
This question came from our site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts.
I think if you indicated somewhere (preface, end notes, first footnote) that the translations are all yours, you could either write the Arabic and then your translation, or write it in English (or whatever language) and footnote it and have the referent be the original Arabic with the citation information.
As a reader, I would assume any translation I'm reading would be done by the author, unless it's otherwise explicitly noted, but it never hurts to say it anyway.

On February 23, Rutgers University, Newark, will honor Mark S. Weiner, Professor of Law and Sidney I. Reitman Scholar at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, as 2009/2010 Chancellor's Distinguished Research Scholar. Chancellor Steven J. Diner will present the award to Weiner, who will then give a talk titled "Clan, Culture, and the Concept of Law: Lessons from Iceland." The event will begin at 4 pm in the Paul Robeson Campus Center, 350 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Newark.
Professor Weiner spent the fall 2009 semester as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Akureyi, Iceland, where he taught an intensive course on U.S. constitutional law. He also conducted research for a new book about the legal and cultural significance of the clan, or extended kinship network, and its relation to the growth of the modern state. Among other topics, the book will consider how legal developments in the Middle Ages shed light on current efforts to develop the rule of law in weak states and regions of the world which nurture international terrorism. "I believe what happened in Iceland in the 13th century can help us understand what's happening right now in Afghanistan and Somalia," explains Weiner. His Feb. 23 talk will address those topics and provide an overview of his work in progress.
"I'm thrilled and deeply honored to receive the Chancellor's Distinguished Research Award," says Weiner. "I'm dedicated to non-partisan academic research which can take many years to produce and often can seem pretty arcane — right now I'm most excited about trying to understand what happened in Icelandic law between 1262 and 1281. But I'm also devoted to bringing ideas that might initially seem obscure to the general public and to showing why they have meaning and importance for us today."
The Chancellor's Distinguished Research Award honors faculty for both the knowledge they uncover during their research and their ability to convey that knowledge to the public. "Research scholars must have done exceptional scholarly work on a subject of fundamental intellectual importance, and demonstrate that they can discuss their research — no matter how technical it might be — in terms understandable to a broad general audience," explains Diner. Last spring Weiner was selected Professor of the Year by students at the law school.
Weiner notes, "I'm so pleased to be recognized by the university for the kind of work I do — especially by Chancellor Diner, who is a fellow historian. It's impossible to overstate what recognition like this can do for a scholar's morale: it can sustain you for years while you're navigating a sea of intellectual uncertainties."

Harlem Shake Cape Town: the best videos
The Harlem Shake was an Internet phenomenon that came and went last week, getting hundreds of bored office workers up out of their seats and dancing in a most ridiculous fashion.
The original video that set off the trend is a 30-second clip featuring one person dancing to the music (usually wearing a mask or helmet), while other people mill around normally – then when the beat drops, the clip cuts to a wild party with everybody dancing as outrageously as they can!
As the phenomenon spread, people from around the world started uploading their own versions of the Harlem Shake onto YouTube. Cape Town is never one to be left out, and a number of local Harlem Shakes soon appeared. Check out the best ones below!

Todd Williamson/Invision/Associated Press
Todd Williamson/Invision/Associated Press
LOS ANGELES � During production of his final post-midnight show, Jimmy Kimmel�s studio audience waited patiently while he taped a string of promotional spots.
�Hey, Denver: You, me, now at 10:35. Let�s not be weird about this,� the host quipped to the camera in his Hollywood Boulevard studio.
�This will be good for us,� Kimmel said earnestly in another local station promo.
The message in each spot � whether �Jimmy Kimmel Live� is on at 11:35 p.m. in the East and West or earlier elsewhere � is that Kimmel will be playing in the same league as veterans Jay Leno and David Letterman, starting Tuesday with guests Jennifer Aniston and No Doubt.
The message Kimmel delivered to a recent teleconference was equally concise: He won�t be changing his style for the move, pushing aside conventional wisdom that edgier late-night humor won�t play in Peoria or elsewhere before the clock strikes 12.
It�s �Jimmy Kimmel Live,� after all, that has given the world such brashly funny videos as the Matt Damon-Sarah Silverman musical romp with bleep-worthy lyrics.
�There�s this idea that you need to broaden the show or make it ... more wholesome or something like that. And I think that�s a little bit out-of-date, that perception,� Kimmel told reporters.
�I guess only time will tell,� he said, in his typically low-key delivery.
Just as with Kimmel�s promised approach to the most coveted time period in late-night, ABC is taking a bold step by swapping �Nightline� with his show. The news program, offering viewers a nontalk show option, has been the period�s ratings leader.
But the network likely won�t be sweating the early returns, according to analyst Brad Adgate of Horizon Media. He said putting Kimmel into the pre-midnight pocket, when more viewers are still up and watching, is a strategy aimed at an inevitable future.
�Leno and Letterman aren�t going to be doing this forever,� Adgate said, and ABC gives him a head start on establishing himself by putting him on now.
�This is something you may scratch your head at now, but in five years from now he�s the incumbent and the leader� in the time period, the analyst said.
Long-term schemes, of course, don�t always pan out. Despite anointing Conan O�Brien as its new �Tonight� host five years before he made the move in 2009, NBC ended up with a mess on its hands that saw O�Brien bolt to TBS and Leno retake �Tonight� in 2010 after his short-lived prime-time series.
Whether Kimmel gets a jump on his opponents-to-be � with Jimmy Fallon the expected pick for �Tonight� � being the late-night ruler is a far different proposition than in Johnny Carson�s day. The �Tonight� institution, operating virtually unopposed, could average a nightly audience of as much as 15 million.
That�s unimaginable in today�s fragmented TV world. Leno claims the top talk-show spot with some 3.5 million average viewers, followed by Letterman on CBS with 2.8 million. �Jimmy Kimmel Live� was drawing fewer than 2 million nightly viewers at 12:05 Eastern but, according to Nielsen Co. ratings, ended 2012 with a 10-year viewership high.
The demographics also have changed, with more advertiser-favored young viewers gravitating to cable options such as Adult Swim or Comedy Central and increasingly likely to catch up online with the best moments of network late-night.
But the 11:35 p.m. East-West sweet spot remains the prize, and Kimmel may have more than the desire to succeed in mind. While he�s a long-time admirer of Letterman, he�s taken sharp public jabs at Leno, including blaming him for O�Brien�s ill-fated tenure at �Tonight.�
So Kimmel is humble about competing directly with Letterman (calling him a �legend in broadcasting� who shouldn�t bat an eye at the prospect of new competition) but is throwing elbows at Leno, especially about the �Tonight� plan to get out ahead of �Jimmy Kimmel Live� by airing at 11:34 p.m. Eastern.
�Well, I think NBC has had a lot of success moving Jay Leno earlier so it makes perfect sense,� he said, dryly, referring to Leno�s short-lived prime-time stint. Kimmel dismissed the time-shifting as likely a brief �trick� to protect �Tonight� ratings, one that ultimately won�t matter.
�This really isn�t about the first month or about the first week or about the first night, it�s a long-term thing,� Kimmel told reporters. �If we do well the first week, I�m sure there will be a lot of press given to that. But what really matters is how you do in May, and that�s when we�ll really know ... where we stand.�

I would like to strip the veneer off of the back side of a strat's neck - I'm guessing that, like furniture, I would need to lock in/out the moisture so that the neck won't warp. Any oils work better than others?
Music Man is petty well known for their raw necks. Almost all of their standard guitars and basses have unfinished necks and this has been the case since their EVH model was introduced.
They used to recommend Birchwood Casey gunstock oil & wax and for years this is what their instruments left the factory with.
The procedure is pretty simple and I went thru it many, many times w/ my Music Man instruments:
Your neck should be buttery smooth after that.
I've since abandoned that process b/c it takes a while and buying the gunstock oil and wax was usually a minor affair and i'm lazy. I've since simplified the process and have a similar, if not identical, outcome.

sounds like heaven to me! (well, except for the maple..not a huge fan of maple flavor). unfortunately, the boy will not eat squash nor sweet potato, and the husband won't eat seitan or squash. it'd be so much easier to be a vegetarian if i lived alone. i'll have to save this recipe for a day when i have the house to myself. looks delicious :)

I just want to publicly announce that I love you. On October 14, 2008, my co-worker and I decided to do a 30 day trial at "Veganism". I grew up eating meat, but with religious food restrictions. I also ate vegetarian meat. But, the idea of being Vegan was so far past my thinking, that I was certain it would all lead to failure. Let's just say that yesterday, your vegan sticky wings and chocolate chip brownie dessert were hits for my family. I've read most all of your posts and have purchased the necessary items needed to make some of your dishes. From a meat eater to a vegan - "you make this vegan thing look and taste real good." I'm going to try this new recipe of yours today.

At the start of the first round, if The Waymoot is one of three starting buildings, do you put 4 VP on it (i.e. 3 from the building description and 1 from the VP on the 1st round area)?

No, Waymoot would only get 1 VP Tokens placed on it, since it isn't in play.
The Builder's Hall (page 12) of the rules tells you to take the 3 VP Tokens for the round, and distribute one to each building tile for purchase. The Waymoot has special rules text that takes effect at the When Purchased/Start of Round, but this only occurs if it is "in play."
Once on page 8 under Start of Round
On the same page under Assign Agent, they define what it means for a building to be in play.
@user1873 Note in the bit you quoted "If any of those Buildings are in play, follow the start-of-round instructions for each." Note also on page 9 under the rules for the Builder's Hall, "Once a new Building is in play, it is available for anyone to assign an Agent to"
Which means that while the building is in the three Builder's Hall spaces it is not in play. Therefore you should not follow the start of round instructions for it, because those are for buildings that are in play. This is why the rules for those buildings specify "when purchased and at start of round", because otherwise they would enter play without any tokens or cubes on them.
Note also that the VP chips placed on buildings in the Builder's Hall at the start of the round are a reward for the person who builds it, while the VP chips placed on the Waymoot are a reward for the person who uses the building. If the building was supposed to be stocked while it was still in the Builder's Hall you would need to maintain two discrete piles of VP chips. Both common sense and the rules say that the "when purchased and at start of round" effects only occur after the point at which the building has been purchased.
Edit: Also note the FAQ here: http://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Lords_of_Waterdeep_FAQ
"Q: With buildings that accumulate resources, such as 'Caravan Court', are resources placed on them while they are unbuilt (still in 'Builder's Hall')?
A: No. Note 1: Those buildings do not have resources placed on them until they are in play."

I sure saw a LOT of Christmas trees on cars today... Did you get yours today?
Driving a lot today I saw soo many Christmas trees on peoples cars. I myself have not cut one down yet... it'll happen one of these days. Do you get yours the day after Thanksgiving?
8 Answers answer
Sadly, I've been using a fake one for several years now. But I volunteer at a fire dept. and we just started our sales today - so I hope to see a lot of trees on cars soon!
No, but we did get several sets of lights.
I wanted too, but my grinch (husband) is making me wait a week. I did drag him out to get lights though!
My family always goes and cuts one the day after thanksgiving, so I got mine yesterday and brought it home today.
Too early, imo. Real trees are already an inherent fire hazard to some degree, why make it worse (and have to clean up more pine needles) with a tree this early.
You may get a little more limited selection down the road (especially at the cut-your-own places, which I prefer) but the tree stays fresher if you don't buy until the second week of December (or even later).
The last several years we got ours on the Saturday after T-day 'cause that's when our oldest is home from college. This year he had to go back right away, so we just tagged it the day before T-day. So no tree yet, but we got ours picked out at least!
@lordebon: When I'd buy a tree from a lot or home depot, the tree would be dry within 3 weeks, but never since I went to a tree farm & had one cut on the spot, even though we have it in the house from T-day weekend until New Years.
I got mine out of the attic today. Does that count?

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a clonal, neoplastic, proliferative disorder of the primitive stem cell. In the early chronic phase, it is typically asymptomatic or presents with abdominal pain and early satiety from splenomegaly and is diagnosed incidentally when patients present with an elevated white blood cell count. Untreated, it typically progresses into blast phase, which is an aggressive acute leukemic phase presenting with fever, pallor, bone tenderness, bleeding, fatigue and/or symptoms and signs of leukostasis.
There are approximately 5000 new cases of CML in the US per year. 95% have the "Philadelphia Chromosome" which involves the balanced translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, t (9; 22)(q34; q11). This results in a gene rearrangement resulting in the bcr-abl fusion genes detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This gene encodes for a 210 kD tyrosine kinase that has increased autophosphorylating activity, which transforms the transfected cells to leukemic cells.
Current therapeutic options for chronic phase CML include hydroxyurea, interferon alpha and allogeneic bone marrow transplant. The first 2 treatment options are used to delay disease progression. Generally, allogeneic BMT is used in an attempt to cure patients who are under 50, without exclusionary medical illness and a good chance for cure. An HLA matched sibling is usually the donor. However, this modality of therapy has a 20-30% chance of treatment related mortality within 6 months and even greater potential morbidity and mortality for matched unrelated donors and with older patients.
In the absence of therapy, CML progresses into "blast crisis" within a median of 4 years. In blast crisis, it is significantly more difficult to treat and certainly to cure. Blasts typically invade organs in the body and patients die from bleeding, infection, or hemorrhage and thrombosis in organs. Initial therapy is to rid the body of the blasts with cytoreductive agents followed by further assessment for other options such as allogeneic BMT. The STI 571 study reported at the 41st American Society of Hematology meeting included patients in this serious phase of the disease. By leveraging the unique molecular aspects of CML, toxicity was minimized.
STI 571 inhibits the signal transduction and transcription activator (STAT) protein known as STAT 5 resulting in reduced levels of BCLXL, an antiapoptotic protein. This results in the induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death). Overall, bcr-abl kinase activity was inhibited. STAT 5 was found to be a major mechanism by which bcr-abl generates an effect.
The results of this early phase study were exciting for numerous reasons. It is an oral preparation and is thus convenient to administer. It has had minimal side effects after increasing through 10 levels of dosing in clinical trials. What is also impressive is the excellent response rate, which appeared to occur in spite of treating those who has failed other therapy and who had advanced disease. As this was a very early clinical trial, can not be used as a standard therapy. However, it is likely that it will become a major part of the treatment of CML. It also remains to be seen how durable the remissions are, whether it can induce a complete remission in subsequent, later phase trials and whether there is synergy with other modalities of treatment. However, this is certainly a great breakthrough, which may have implications throughout a variety of malignancies.

Getting Insurance to Pay for Screening Procedures
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My family is being followed by two universities for Hereditary Non-polyposis Colon Cancer (Lynch Syndrome II). My insurance will not pay for the screening colonoscopies that are recommended yearly. They say without symptoms, it is merely a screening procedure. I say it is early detection surveillance. I have appealed at several levelssent supporting letters, one from Dr. Lynch himself. The insurance Commission says that because my company is self insuring, they have no control over them. I do not know how to proceedthis is an $800 procedure. Suggestions would be helpful, thanks.
We suggest that you inform your physician that you have exhausted every reasonable effort to receive coverage for the colonoscopy. He or she may be able to determine if funds can be made available through the university(s) to support ongoing research projects. They may also be able to petition the university to determine if the billing entities involved would consider either discounting their fees or providing the service "gratis". In addition, if you are participating in an ongoing research project, there may be funding available through the agency sponsoring the research to pay for the test.cancer.

3 Great Reasons To Have Gratitude On Your Cancer Teamby Marlys Johnson

I just received my Nodal Ninja 3 MkII this morning. At lunch I went out to set it up. I used it on a Canon 40D with the 17-55 mm IS USM lens. I tested for parallax using a sign post approx 3 ft from the tripod and the edge of a building approx 1/3 of a mile away. With the lens set at 17mm there was no parallax with the upper rail assembly set as far back as it would go. At 20mm there was some barely perceptible parallax at that setting.
So this combination of body and lens just fits the Nodal Ninja 3. I would recommend anybody using this combination to buy the Nodal Ninja 5. I wish I had done so. I am contemplating upgrading. Since this is the longest lens I anticipate using I may not go to the trouble.

5 Idiotic Superstitions (With Logical Explanations)
Let's be honest, almost everybody is superstitious about something. Maybe just a "lucky shirt" you wear to job interviews, or maybe you spent all weekend making sure that voodoo doll of your ex looked just right before ramming pins into its crotch.
Where do superstitions come from? And could their origins be more logical than we think? Is it possible that the superstitious old neighbor of yours who runs off black cats and wails over broken mirrors isn't retarded?
Well... sort of.
#5. Black Cats
Recently a whole stadium full of Cub fans held their breath when a cat raced onto the field during the game. They let out a sigh of relief when they realized it wasn't black (and articles the next day were sure to mention its color). After all, every Cub fan knows that a single visit by a black cat cursed the entire 1969 season.
Where the Hell Did This Come From?
So how did something oh-so-cute and fluffy get associated with misfortune, death and witchcraft?
Saints preserve us! It's a basket of Satan!
First of all, cats have always had a few habits that have a tendency freak people right out. They like to seek sources of warmth (sorry, Mister Fluffynuts doesn't like sitting in your lap just because he loves you) and have an odd fascination with examining human faces. Often when a person passed away from fever or a baby died mysteriously in the night, they'd find a cat perched on their chest or in the crib staring into their face, and the logical assumption was made that cats were harbingers of death that could suck the very life from your body.
I can has ur soul plz?
It didn't help that a number of pre-Christian peoples such as the Norse, Celts and Egyptians had cat gods, or at least considered the animal sacred. Once Christianity became the sexy new religion in town, old beliefs were branded witchcraft and cats found themselves guilty by association. Often simply owning a cat was considered proof of witchery. There was even widespread extermination of cats during medieval times, which kind of backfired when they were no longer around to kill plague-infested rats, which in turn wiped out half of Europe. Whoops. But hey, at least they were safe from those goddamn witches.
As for why black cats specifically were feared, well, you don't need us to tell you that black has traditionally been associated with eeeevil. There's a reason Darth Vader didn't spend his time strutting around in a sporty magenta or mint green get-up.
#4. Groundhog Day
Every year on February 2, people put their faith in the amazing weather predicting abilities of the noble groundhog, hoping he won't see his shadow and doom them to six more weeks of snow, ice and numb testicles. A town in Pennsylvania has become world famous entirely based on this ridiculous ritual. But, hey, why not? Its predictions are probably as likely to be accurate as any weatherman's.
"Now as you see here, my weathercock is just balls deep in Indiana."
Where the Hell Did This Come From?
Folks have always kept their eye out for the reemergence of hibernating animals, logically seeing it as a sign that spring was on the way. February 2 is also the date for Candlemas, a holiday mostly celebrated in Europe--yes, there's another Christian holiday out there that starts with "C" and ends in "mas," please don't tell Hallmark.
Like most Christian holidays, Candlemas is basically an old Pagan tradition with fancy new Jesus decals slapped on. While the holiday is officially devoted to the purification of the Virgin Mary, in practice it's the due date to throw out your Christmas tree and start thinking about Spring while watching furry critters emerge from their holes.
Germans had Candlemas traditions similar to Groundhog Day--except they used hedgehogs--and when they immigrated to America they tossed out all the religious parts of Candlemas, keeping only the fun "waiting around a varmint-hole and drinking" stuff. The groundhog was chosen since it hibernated in the winter, sort of looked like a hedgehog--which aren't native to North America--and presumably because too many people got eaten when they tried it with bears.
But why does the groundhog seeing its shadow and returning to its burrow mean six more weeks of winter? Well there's actually some meteorological truth to it. A winter day sunny enough to allow a rodent to see his shadow is likely to be colder than average since cloud cover actually insulates the earth. In other words, there's nothing mystical going on here, Mr. Groundhog just went back inside because he was freezing his furry little ass off, and if it's still too cold for him there's probably more winter coming.
That, and there's a town in Pennsylvania that really, really needs the tourist dollars.
#3. Breaking a Mirror
Break a mirror, get seven years bad luck. It may seem silly, but you probably still take extra care never to drop one, and generally do your best to avoid kung fu battles in the House of Mirrors.
Where the Hell Did This Come From?
Part of this goes back to the stone age, when the first caveman wandered to a lake for a drink and saw his own handsome sloping brow reflected back at him from the water. Having no knowledge of optics--at this point mankind's still struggling with pointed-stick technology--it was a logical leap for him to believe that this reflection was a duplication of himself and shared a part of his soul somehow (though he probably wondered why that lazy fucker in the water never helped out with the fishing).
This way of thinking stubbornly held for millennia, with the belief being that damaging a mirror--and thus your reflection--would damage a part of your soul or cause it to be trapped in the mirror forever, like the supervillain criminals from Superman II.
There's also a more simple explanation. Glass mirrors, as opposed to less breakable ones made of polished metal, weren't really available until the 16th century and were very expensive luxuries reserved for the upper classes. If the servants that cleaned these mirrors were to break one, well, let's just say it was a lot easier to replace a human being back then than a mirror.
Also, if a more middle-class family were to buy one and then break it, it would probably take quite a while to scrounge up the money for a new one--say, around seven years. So the warning to clumsy children wasn't so much about "bad luck" for seven years if they broke the mirror, but rather "continuous beatings."

GWT/Eclipse counterpart releases
hi. since GWT creates specific releases for each Eclipse version, i was wondering if GXT does the same thing. Specifically, i need to know which GXT releases are meant for Eclipse 3.6 and 3.7. thank you!
19 Jan 2012 12:21 AM #2
GXT does not depend on Eclipse versions. It depends on the version of GWT.
And even the new version GWT 2.4 works fine with Eclipse 3.4. You have to install the old GWT plugin and in the properties you define your GWT SDK.
20 Jan 2012 1:24 AM #3
in light of your response, what are GXT counterpart releases for GWT v2.2.0, v2.3.0, and v2.4.0? thanks!
22 Jan 2012 2:00 PM #4
The latest release of GXT, 2.2.5, works with any version of GWT later than 1.7. However, due to breaking changes in GWT, there are three different GXT jars in the GXT 2.2.5 download, one for 1.7, one for 2.0 until 2.1, and one for 2.2 and onward. These jars have -gwt17, -gwt2, and -gwt22 suffixed to their filenames to be clear as to which works with which.
The beta versions of GXT 3 only work with the latest GWT version, 2.4.0.
22 Apr 2012 12:15 PM #5
I hate to use this old thread, but i was just wondering if there is a matrix somewhere on the sencha site that keeps track of such relationships?

When Last Pope Retired, Church Was in Turmoil
ROME—Whatever challenges the Roman Catholic Church faces in 2013, they pale compare to those that prompted the resignation 598 years ago of Pope Gregory XII.
The last pontiff to resign in office, he was caught up in the leadership crisis known as the Great Schism, in which three rival popes had been elected by rival church factions. He stepped down in 1415 after 10 years and negotiated with a council appointed to end the split. Pope Gregory, recognized as the legitimate pope by the church, became a bishop and retired.
Pope Benedict's decision to step down, one taken by only a few of his 264 recognized predecessors, is certain to be less eventful. "Once Benedict XVI retires, I am extremely sure he will retire to pray and will not interfere in any way whatsoever with the governance choices the church makes," said Dario Eduardo Viganò, head of the Vatican television center. The pontiff, whose civil name is Joseph Ratzinger, will, however, be free to write and communicate his views, said chief Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi.
Mr. Viganò said the pope's decision doesn't set a precedent for future popes to retire early.
Canonical law requires that a pontiff freely and consciously agree to resign—points that Pope Benedict underscored while delivering his announcement in Latin at a consistory on Monday. That also means any future pope won't be obliged to follow suit and stand down before passing away, Mr. Viganò said.
Pope Benedict, who cited personal exhaustion as a reason he didn't feel capable of carrying out the duties of his ministry, could be seen as evoking a move said to have been made by Pope St. Pontian, who resigned in 235 after being condemned by Roman authorities to work in Sardinian salt mines. He resigned to allow another person to head the Church, since those convicted to the mines tended never to return.
Others known to have resigned include Pope Celestine V, a recluse who reluctantly accepted elected in 1294 only to leave after three months; and Pope Benedict IX, who in 1045 stepped down after selling the office to his godfather, who became Pope Gregory VI and himself resigned a year later.
Mr. Viganò said Pope Benedict XVI would not have resigned at a time of turmoil. "He knows that a decision like the one he has taken is one that has to be born in a context of serenity, and we're sure his decision stems from a serene heart," Mr. Viganò said.

5 Insane Real Sports They Need to Add to the Olympics
Be honest: How many Olympic events do you actually enjoy watching as sports, versus just rooting for your country? Most of us watch the Olympics just to be a part of it, the same reason lots of non-football fans watch the Super Bowl. There is no reason it needs to be like this; there are plenty of sports out there that could be added to the game to spice them up. And we're talking about real sports here, not the game of flamethrower tag we tried to get them to add last time.
#5. Sepak Takraw
What We Have Now:
Volleyball. Eh, it's OK. It does seem like, in order to get anyone to watch it, they're having to dress the players in suspiciously ass-focused uniforms. Isn't there some way to crank up the excitement on this shit?
The Sport That Would Make Us Watch:
Sepak takraw, aka a flying spin-kick version of volleyball:
That ball is about to kill more sperm than a whole box of condoms.
It's been played in Malaysia for hundreds of years, and its popularity spread throughout Asia when they realized that there was nothing more fun than spinning in the air to kick a tiny ball no bigger than a hacky sack into the opposing team's court. It's the kind of sport they would play in the goddamned Matrix.
Via Piximus.net
Also, to play it you can't technically have a skeleton.
There's also just three people on each team, because you need extra room to go flying across the court to dropkick the ball without accidentally kicking a teammate's head off his shoulders. It's like break dancing in the air, except instead of jumping to the music you've memorized, it's to the speeding ball coming at you at 2,000 MILES AN HOUR (estimated). The point is, it's really, really, really, really hard.
Which might not be the right word to use with all those crotches on the screen.
Malaysia's prime minister tried to make this an Olympic sport a few years ago, but the proposal didn't really go anywhere. Are they afraid of sepak takraw? Good. They should be.
#4. Fierljeppen, aka Canal Jumping
What We Have Now:
The pole vault. We don't deny that it takes an amazing athlete to do it, but how many of you only watch it hoping something terrible happens?
The Sport That Would Make Us Watch:
Fierljeppen, or for us English-speaking folk, canal jumping.
Via Dorpsblad.com
This is how they get to work in the Netherlands.
Fierljeppen basically is this: They have a tall pole planted in a canal, about 26 to 42 feet high, depending on the size of the balls of the contestants that day. The contestants then run up to the pole and climb up it as fast as they can while it tips to the other side, where a sand pit is waiting for them. The contestant has to jump off the pole at the last second and try to get as far as he can, and whoever gets the farthest is the winner. Sounds simple, right? Well, watch for yourself:
The guy jumps more than 65 feet from where he started, while climbing up (and falling off) a 42-foot pole. The best part of the video is how he just stood up and dove right into the canal, probably in an attempt to clean himself before the giant orgy of admiring groupies he was about to be rewarded with arrived.
Via Panoramio.com
Did the whole world declare war on testicles without telling us?
They do this annually in the Netherlands, and if you want to try it or see when and where it happens, you can find it all here. Oh, but before you start practicing this and pole-blasting yourself in the groin over and over again, keep this in mind: Right now the prize for being the winner of the national competition is nothing more than the title of Dutch Champion Canal Jumper. No money, no medal. Just a pair of bruised testicles, and probably a free beer from that one bartender who saw you on TV. We think it's high time these guys get to compete for the gold.
#3. Horse Vaulting
What We Have Now:
Gymnastics. We suppose what they're doing is amazing to experts and, say, the parents of kids who are taking gymnastics classes. But to everyone else? It kind of just seems like really strenuous dancing.
The Sport That Would Make Us Watch:
Via Gyazo.com
Now dunk that shit!
The only way to make gymnastics amazing again (besides making them do it while piloting battle mechs) is to put the athletes on speeding horses and have them do their routine on top of it. And yes, people actually do this.
If any sport on this list deserves to be in the Olympics, it's this one. Hundreds of horses from 50 countries competed at the World Equestrian Games in 2010, showing that there are quite a lot of people out there dancing around on horses right under our noses.

"Wait, what the hell? The scalper said it was tickets to a Knicks game."
The sport itself has an incredible history, with roots dating back to 1500 B.C. in Scandinavia and ancient Crete, back when people just assumed dying was a part of sports. Julius Caesar had vaulting at the Roman games 2,000 years ago, the knights had it in their training in the Middle Ages and it was even included in the 1920 Olympic Games. You can also join the petition here to try to get it put back in.
Why it was removed? Probably because it was making the other athletes look bad.

The .NET version users have on their machines makes is immaterial. In fact whether they have .NET on their machine or not is immaterial. Any .NET code in your site is run server side not client side.
Internet Explorer reports the version of .NET installed in its user agent string. If Google Analytics shows you the user agent strings for the browsers used to connect to your server, you should be able to verify the version of .NET.
Some browsers allow users to change the user agent string used when connecting to web sites; you could think a user has installed .NET when it's not true.
I am not sure what the importance of knowing that is, though.
At this time, you can't get at the actual user agent string data with Google Analytics, and GA does not yet break out .Net version info.

I just recently purchased a Pentax K-r. It has two formats to shoot raw with, PEF and DNG. Are there advantages or disadvantages with using one over the other?
PEF is Pentax's proprietary RAW format. DNG is the semi-standard owned by and promoted by Adobe.
In reality, there's no practical difference. They both hold the same information. It seems like there might be an advantage in having a standard format, but as a practical matter, RAW converter software needs to be updated with information for each camera anyway, and so DNG doesn't really add much. And pretty much all software that supports Pentax cameras via DNG can also read PEF files.
In older Pentax models, PEF could be (losslessly) compressed and DNG was always uncompressed. In modern cameras, they're both compressed.
When I went on a 10 day travel trip with my K10D, I was using two 16gb sd cards. I went with PEF vs DNG because it made a significant difference in the number of shots I could get on the cards. I could fill up a card each day (plus some) and had I gone with DNG I would have not been able to carry as many pictures on the card. This was a BIG factor in my inertia with staying with PEF.
Now that more modern cameras compress the DNG it's not as much of a big deal.
However, I see that Lightroom will create DNG files no matter what the raw file is anyhow, so I'm about to switch back to DNG to save the step.
I use Pentax camera a lot and I prefer Adobe DNG, because it works very well in Adobe's Lightroom. I know that full support for PEF is also there, but in my case is more habit then the choice based on some in-depth comparison of the formats.
If you look at the internet forums people seem to have various opinions on that topic. Some prefer more generic Adobe DNG others native Pentax PEF.
Here is a handful of links you may find interesting:

The admission process for most schools begins the Fall before your child enters school. Every school manages the admissions process differently. There are however areas of consistency for most schools: almost every school requires an application and assessment test (the "ERB") and notify families of admissions decisions at around the same time. All schools will offer a tour and/or open house and most will also include parent and student interviews as part of the application process.
Navigating through a specific school's website or using other resources can help you learn about the different schools and their processes.
The Parents League of New York sponsors school fairs, information sessions for parents, and consultation on school options.

Glenmorangie's Private Edition range really took the spotlight this year when Jim Murray named the 19 year old, Ealanta, World Whisky of the Year 2014. Jim claimed Ealanta stole the show "because it went out and did something very different: not only did it blow [him] away with its deftness, beauty and elegance, but it gave an aroma and taste profile completely new to [him] in over 30 years of tasting whisky". High praise indeed.
Soon after, Glenmorangie's Director of Distilling, Dr Bill Lumsden, faced the unenviable challenge of creating a follow-up. After such a coveted title, any successor malt would surely pale in comparison, or at least one might think. We were expecting intensity of flavour, perhaps a big dose of sherry this time? Well, rather that playing it safe, Bill took the somewhat risky decision of releasing a red wine finish – something we've seen a lot of over the years, but very rarely done well. In fact, put bluntly, most of the time red wine ruins whisky. I won't name names*, but we've all had an "experimental" whisky buggered up by overdosing with wine casks that have perhaps unnecessary pedigree (aside from marketing purposes, why anyone feels the need to finish in First Growth casks is beyond my understanding!). So – how would Bill's latest fare?

I am learning piano from a book and I can't understand the meaning of the phrases "playing on the beat" and "playing off the beat" and the difference between them. Can anyone explain them to me?
migrated from english.stackexchange.com May 18 '12 at 18:32
This question came from our site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts.
Assume you are playing in 4/4 time. For every bar there are 4 beats.
Playing 'on the beat' means playing a note at the same time as one of those 4 beats begins. If a bar has 4 quarter-notes in 4/4 time, every note would be played 'on the beat'.
Playing 'off the beat' means playing a note at some time other than the start of a beat. Imagine a bar that has 8 eighth-notes in 4/4 time. In this case, the first note is played 'on the beat', the second is 'off the beat', the third is 'on the beat', etc.
Every piece of music has a 'beat' -- noted by the time signature of the music. For instance, you may have a song that is in 4/4 time (4 beats per measure where each beat is a quarter-note). When you are 'playing on the beat', you are timing your playing so that the rhythmic emphasis of your playing matches the beat. This could simply mean that you come in on the downbeat rather than 'off the beat'.
Think of a stave of sheet music as a graph, where the Y axis is pitches, or the notes you play, and the X axis is time. Now in sheet music, time is not expressed as a strictly linear measurement such as fractions of a second; rather, it's divided into beats.
If you were to start up a metronome at a certain tempo and try to play a measure of piano music along with the metronome, you would try to strike each piano key exactly at the indicated time -- for example, a row of quarter notes. However, if you made an audio recording of this exercise, and you examined the playback of the recording, slowed down a great deal, you would discover that you are humanly incapable of hitting each note exactly in time with the click of the metronome, which measures the beat. Some notes you might hit a fraction of a second before the click of the mentronome, other notes you might hit a fraction of a second after the click on the metronome. This is what is meant by playing "ahead of the beat" or "behind the beat".
When we practice to play an instrument, it is good to practice with a metronome and learn to play as strictly in perfect time as we can. This takes practice and skill. However, in actual musical performance, an experienced musician will deliberately alter the playing of the notes to make some of them ahead of the beat or behind the beat. In pop music we call this "creating a groove". In classical music, it is called "rubato".
So first you have to learn to play strictly on the beat, with a metronome. As you get more experienced, you learn how to shift the timing of the notes either ahead of or behind the beat according to the musical effect you want to create.

Silent Hill: Requiem to Shephard's Glen - 02-11-2009, 04:32 PM
Shephard's Glen: A little quaint town in Nevada. It's one of those towns that takes you forever to find; it's harder to find than the middle of nowhere. It was founded about, oh, I think 200 years ago now; we're coming up on the bicentennial anniversary and there's a big party and parade planned.
But see, what a lot of the townspeople don't know is that the founding families' ancestors - Shepherd, Holloway, Bartlett, and Fitch - brought with them an oath from Silent Hill. They and numerous other families fled, but the God followed; to keep the newly founded village safe, they pledged that every fifty years, one child from each founding family would be sacrificed.
"We, the Family Shepherd, in order to ensure our continued protection and prosperity, do enter into this Holy Contract with our God, accept our duties as Master of Arms and willingly consign our child to the water in God's name."
"We, the Family Fitch, in order to ensure our continued protection and prosperity, do enter this Holy Contract with our God, accept our duties as Master of Rites and willingly consign our child to the blade in God's name."
"We, the Family Holloway, in order to ensure our continued protection and prosperity, do enter into this Holy Contract with our God, accept our duties as Keeper of Lore and willingly consign our child to the noose in God's name."
"We, the Family Bartlett, in order to ensure our continued protection and prosperity, do enter into this Holy Contract with our God, accept our duties as Executor of Law and willingly consign our child to the earth in God's name."
The Bartlett line has always been full of mayors. Holloways, they are the judges. Fitches are doctors and nurses and surgeons more often than not, and the Shephard family goes either into war or into police service. No one knows why; it's just how it is. There's no influence on the children; they grow up and that's what they want to do, continue the family tradition.
Of course, the children usually aren't told of the town's darkest secret; sacrifices to appease an unforgiving God happen every fifty years. Fifty years ago, this was broken by an accident; the wrong Shephard child was killed in water and a terrifying mist overtook the town. This matter, of course, was fixed and the town renewed itself. Soon, everybody who knew what had happened had passed away; the families continued on.
As the Bicentennial Celebration approaches, the parents of each chosen branch of the families has to prepare for this. It doesn't matter if they have only one child or two; infant or adult, it doesn't matter. There are other branches of the families in Shephard's Glen; they can continue the family line. It's a brutal way to live in a messed up place.
You've noticed that the 'chosen' kids - though you obviously don't know this - are becoming more and more withdrawn, less people-friendly and they no longer come to school. They haven't been told of their forecoming fate; and only the Keeper of Lore generally knows about it. Maybe you are one of these kids; maybe your parents have more or less treated you as a pet: fed you, clothed you, washed you, put you to bed as though it were a mere chore. Of course, if you're an only child you may have noticed your parents spoil you considerably.
Suddenly, one day both the Bartlett kids vanished. A mysterious fog has wrapped the town in a shroud, and it seems like no matter how hard you try to leave, you just enter the town on the other side. Scary creatures haunt the shadows, and the safest place to be is either the school building or your home.
Whenever you're out walking around, sometimes you hear an eerie grating noise, like metal on the pavement behind you; yet you see nothing when you turn to look around. However, it brings to mind an old fable-song you heard as a child:
Where is Steven, mommy? He can't play and I'm sad.
You mustn't ask, my darling- Steven has been bad.
Billy too, and Sally? Did they do something wrong?
I'm afraid it's true, child- all your friends are gone.
Beware of he who took them- he goes by many names.
The Bogeyman, the Shadowed One, but all are he, the same.
For every sin a child has, must be a punishment to bear.
Your friends are now beyond our reach; trapped deep within his lair.
And if they take what is not theirs, there can be no doubt.
He'll stretch their skin until it snaps, and all the blood drains out.
Remember to always behave, for sins he won't abide.
He wields a rusty, jagged blade, to cut out your insides.
The lying little children, with souls selfish and small.
Will find their wriggling tongues cut out, and nailed to the his wall.
The bullies and their spiteful wrath will find torment as well.
Soon he will strike them where they stand and drag them into hell.
Child, you must obey your parents; do everything they say.
Little ones who do otherwise, he tortures in the flames.
Beatings cleanse the soul, they say, and that is what he'll do.
If you don't control your anger then you'll feel his anger too.
You are your brother's keeper, remember it always.
Or else, the Bogeyman will chain you underneath the waves.
And while good children live, bad ones cannot escape their fate.
For once you hear his screeching wail, it's already too late.
So do not cry aloud at night, stay hidden in your bed...
Or the Bogeyman from Silent Hill will come chop off your head.
As hell breaks loose here in Shephard's Glen, you'll fight monsters of horrendous countenances, see nightmarish landscapes unfold before your very eyes - and you are not the only one who witnesses these beasts and terrors. However, you've got your own nightmares to deal with, whatever they are...
Shephard's Glen has become Hell itself; can you survive it?
1. Only Miranda, Sarah_K_O_M, TheHayleyDoll, and myself. Do not PM me begging to join, this is set due to the amount of new users coming on.
2. The monsters specifically in this RP are as follows:
Swarm (Bugs, can be smashed on the floor)
Ferals (Dogs, appear to be missing some flesh)
Lurkers (Humanoids with tail-like appendages that appear to be legs that are bound together; have no faces, only a wide, toothy mouth stretching vertically from their forehead to their chin)
Nurses (Humanoids with heavily bandaged faces and rather trashy uniforms. Feel free to yell 'Get some pants!!' when you kill some. Usually are seen only in the hotel and hospital nightmares.)
Schisms (Humanoids with a fleshy pendulum-like appendage for a head; said appendage is split down the middle with what appears to be a mouth)
Siam Siam (Humanoids, I can't exactly describe these so well so look images up on Youtube. Avoid at all costs if able. O_O)
Smokers (Humanoids with no arms, lungs expand to spew nasty smoke. Avoid at all costs.)
3. Don't godmod, auto-hit unless it's one of the listed monsters, blah blah. Read the RPG area stickies. >>;
4. Nightmare realms are mostly occurant in dreams; however, as the town dives further into da.mnation (or so the Order calls it) they begin to occur in real life. Usually it takes form in starting out as a regular dream, but the longer it goes, the more everything begins to peel and decay. Things age and rot and rust, and then you wonder if you're even in the same place - especially once it starts happening while you're awake.
5. You will have a nightmare monster. Whether it is an event, person, flaws about yourself that you absolutely despise for whatever reason, or a heavy fear, only you can see it in the Nightmare dreams; in the real world however, everyone can see it. It can be anything from a normal-looking rendition of it to a completely mutated freak of nature.
6. We are all starting in Shephard's Glen; either you've lived there your whole life or you moved there several years ago for whatever reasons your parents had.
Character sheet (optional, but I'd prefer if you did use them.)
Name: (Note, you can be from any of the 4 founding families but I'd prefer if you were not from the selected branch for sacrifice. O_o)
Age: *can be from 8 to 50*
Appearance: (typed please, no pics)
Nightmare Monster if your character has one and the story behind it:
Opening paragraph and my character sheet will be in the next post. Stupid character limit! X.x
I stare at the girl in the mirror: T-shirt, torn up jeans, no beauty queen.
But the way that you see me, you get underneath me, and all my defenses just fall away, fall away.
I am beautiful with you, even in the darkest part of me. I am beautiful with you;
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be!

Assuming[x > 0, expression]
Is it assumed by Mathematica that $x$ is a real number? Or that the real part of $x$ is positive? Something else?
A simple Mathematica illustration would be welcome.
Let's assume I input
Is it assumed by Mathematica that $x$ is a real number? Or that the real part of $x$ is positive? Something else?
A simple Mathematica illustration would be welcome.
The most direct way to test this is probably the following:
So $x>0$ seems to imply that $x$ is real.
It is assumed that $x$ is a real number. Everything else would mathematically not make sense because on complex numbers there does not exist an ordering relation.
An example would be to take the expression $\sqrt{x^2}$ and to imagine that this is not equal $x$ for $x=-\mathbb{i}$. Therefore the expression is in a general form not simplified
If you now say that $x \geq 0$ should hold you get
Note that if $x \geq 0$ would mean the real part is non-negative, the value $x=-\mathbb{i}$ would still be possible. Therefore, it can be assumed, that using an ordering does automatically force the variable to be real.
In general the situation is much more subtle than the other answers suggest. For example this issue is present in version 8 while not in version 7 :
The identical integrand (not depending on
One may encounter certain inconsequences working with these examples :
For example assuming in (III) weaker conditions we get
Mathematica will always assume that all the arguments of an inequality relation are real but there are situations the presence of an inequality will lead to a stronger assumption. This is the case with
Mathematica will assume that both x and y are real. If you do not want this assumption you need to tell

I made one small alias and got a question as , how to execute a single line group of commands as command by command with out breaking it ?
echo " alias get='sudo apt-get install'" >> .bashrc & bash
here we have commands as echo & bash. even placing them all in a single line i want to execute them command by command.
Update: for example if there is a group command line as
command1 ; command 2; command 3; command 4; commmand5
Then I want to execute this group command not in a single step. 1st 3 commands at a time and then next 2 commands . But condition is I have to write all those commands in a single line.

CBS San Francisco used IPC's statistics about potential candidates for deferred action in an article last Wednesday. The article warns Bay Area immigrants to watch out for scams, as more and more people try to take advantage of those applying for deferred deportation.The Washington, D.C.-based Immigration Policy Center estimates that about 937,000 undocumented immigrants between the ages of 15 and 30 are currently eligible for the program nationwide. It says another 426,000 children between the ages of 5 and 14 could become eligible in the future if the program is continued.
