Studs Terkel and Charles Morgan Jr.
April 6, 1997
7:30 p.m.
Irma B. Moore Hall Auditorium
If Studs Terkel did not exist, some suitable qualified supernatural authority would have to intervene and invent him. And that, admittedly, would be a demanding task.
—John Kenneth Galbraith
Studs Terkel
Aptly described as WFMT's "free spirit," Studs Terkel revels in life. He has, since graduating from the University of Chicago law school in 1934, been a civil service employee; stage, radio, and movie actor; playwright; jazz columnist; disc jockey; panel moderator; firm narrator; music festival host; radio news commentator and sportscaster; lecturer; network television personality ("Stud's Place," "The Great American Dream Machine"); and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. For more than 40 years he has been heard on Chicago's fine arts radio station, WFMT, where each weekday he hosts "The Studs Terkel Show." This hour belongs to Studs to comment on the day or the world; interview a well-known personality or a schoolteacher; play a jazz record; read a folk story; or just talk for an hour. The show has won the Peabody Award.
Studs Terkel is also a world-class interviewer. We all heard his latest book, Coming of Age: The story of Our Century by Those Who've Lived It, read by "The Radio Reader" on public radio. The Good War: An Oral History of World War II won the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. Terkel has also won the Irita Van Doren Book Award, the Clarence Darrow Commemorative Award, the Prix Italia,three Ohio State Awards, three Major Armstrong Awards, and the prestigious Peabody Award for excellence in broadcasting.
Mr. Terkel is the author of eleven books, many of which came from his extensive interviews, including Giants of Jazz, Division Street: America, Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression, Working: People Talking About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do, Talking To Myself: A Memoir of My Times, American Dreams: Lost and Found, Chicago, and Race: How Blacks & Whites Think & Feel About the American Obsession.
Charles Morgan, Jr.
Charles Morgan, Jr., was Director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Southern Regional Office and principal trial attorney in numerous leading cases involving the issues of "one man, one vote" and exclusion of women and minorities from jury service. He was born in 1930, raised in Birmingham and attended the University of Alabama, where he received the Bachelor of Science Degree in Commerce and Business Administration and the LL.B. In 1964, he opened the American Civil Liberties Union Southern Regional Office in Atlanta and served as its director until 1972. He was involved in major civil rights litigation throughout the South and directed the addition of staffed ACLU affiliates in each of the southern states, and saw an increase in membership from 2,500 to approximately 25,000.
Morgan served as principal attorney in Reynold v. Sims, which established the "one-man, one-vote" principal. He represented the plaintiffs in the case that opened the University of Alabama Huntsville to minorities. He served as attorney in White v. Crook, which resulted in the integration of Lowndes County juries and declared unconstitutional the Alabama statute that excluded women from serving on juries. He also served as counsel in Lee v. Alabama, which integrated the penal systems of Alabama, and in follow up lawsuits the penal systems of South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana. In 1972, Morgan became Director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington National Office and represented the Association of State Democratic Chairman whose telephones were tapped in the Watergate case.
Morgan has been the lawyer for the defense in some the most controversial cases of our time, including the appeal of the world heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali; the Army's court-martial of Captain Howard B. Levy and Green Beret Captain John J. McCarthy; and the Georgia Assembly's exclusion of Representative Julian Bond. He is the author of A Time To Speak, One Man One Voice, and has written numerous articles for national publication.

6 Things Your Body Does Every Day (That Can Destroy You)
#3. Yawning
No one is entirely sure why we do it, but everyone does it a few times a day at the least. So how could something as innocent as a yawn be dangerous? It's called temporomandibular dislocation, which is an eight dollar way to say "dislocated jaw." When you yawn, you open your mouth (Cracked is informative!) good and wide, and if for some reason the ligaments in that area are a little loose, your jaw bone can come straight out of the joint. Seriously: You could yawn right now (and the more we mention it the more likely it is) and half of your face could very well explode out of the other half of your face, like a goddamn cartoon skeleton.
Yawning: The Sleepy Terror!
This condition can result in "significant discomfort" according to the experts. If you're picturing somebody prying your jaw open so far until your face tears apart, you're probably replying, "No significant shit, experts!"
But hey, since yawning doesn't seem to serve any purpose, just don't do it! Especially not... right... now!
Man, wouldn't that feel good right about now?
#2. Popping Zits
It's unpleasant, but most of us have done it at some point: You get one of those nasty white heads, you go to the bathroom, you pop it. There's no call for describing that; a graphic description won't further the article any, so let's not get grosser than we have to here (it's like squeezing mayonnaise out of a flesh-tube). Now, everyone knows that popping zits can spread infection and lead to more zits, but there's also the risk of scarring and heavy bleeding which, when taken to extremes, can lead to a terminal case of Edward James Olmos.
You're probably aware of all that, but you probably haven't heard of something called "cerebral venous sinus thrombosis." That's a confounding term, so Doctor Oz, for the sake of simplicity, gives it another name: The Triangle of Death. The only reason we ended that sentence with a period because there's not yet a punctuation mark for "lightning crashing."
Basically, there's a cluster of blood vessels just under your nose that, through poor architectural planning, flow directly to your brain. Any infection that develops in this area via open sores (like popped pimples) can in a heartbeat transport itself to the one place in your body that you least want an infection. So by popping one zit, you can circumvent decades of dutifully devouring trans fats and empty calories, and stroke out within a few hours, if not minutes.
No thanks, we've got this suicide covered. Maybe next time!
Don't want your life to vanish in the Bermuda Triangle of the human body? Keep your hands off your goddamn face. You might end up looking like Pizza the Hutt, but leave the zits where they are, let the nose hair grow free and wild, and for Christ's sake, don't even think about facial piercings--if not because you look like a tool, then at least for fear of instant death.
#1. Sleeping
Sleeping is right up there with beer, boobs and revenge as one of life's simplest, grandest pleasures.Can sleeping be dangerous? Sure, people sometimes do weird shit while asleep, but unless you're driving a car, operating heavy equipment or walking tightrope over a volcano, that's not going to kill you. Science knows all sorts of reasons why too little sleep can be dangerous, so by extension, getting extra sleep must be like a dip in the hot tub of youth (fountains are for old people).
Too long in the hot tub.
But of course, life is not run by a system of checks and balances; it's run by horrifying trauma and murderous coincidence. That's probably why a recent British study conversely showed that sleeping too much--more than seven hours a night--doubles your chances of dying within 11 to 17 years, and not even from cardiovascular disease like those lucky bastards with insomnia. And we'd like to clarify here; they're not saying that an extra hour of sleep will shorten your twilight years a little. They're saying that, by hitting the snooze button, you're less likely to see the end of this goddamn decade.
They aren't really sure why, but Francesco Cappuccino (who sounds more like a Carmen Sandiego character than the respectable scientist he is) stated that "some candidate causes for this include depression, low socio-economic status and cancer-related fatigue." So in some cases, the case studies were poor depressed cancer patients, which makes sense. For the rest of them, it was "fucked if we know. Get up earlier."
So there you go: Sleep exactly seven hours a night, not a minute more, not a minute less--because a late coffee on one side, and you'll have a heart attack; a snooze button on the other, and you will just mysteriously fucking die within the next 10 years.
Sleep tight.

I've seen a few apps that claim they do some kind of conditioning/deep charge/other jargon to extend the life of an iPhone battery. Is this just hokum or do I really need one of these apps to maximize the life of my battery?
From what I understand, iPhone apps don't have the power to regulate the power consumption of other apps and iOS system processes. These apps sound like snake oil to me.
Apple themselves recommend a deep cycle every month:
If the app reminds you to do this every 30 days, then yes, it will improve your battery life. Unfortunately, I've seen some apps that tell you to go down to 20% and then open the app while it is charging. That isn't letting it "completely run down", and so, it would do nothing for your phone.
Besides reminding you of doing a deep cycle every 30 days, I don't see how any app could improve your battery life. If anything, it would ruin your battery life by staying running in the background.
Yes - if it's the thing that gets you to change your behavior. Whether you call it snake oil, a placebo or social engineering, changing your perception or spurring you to action is powerful and can shape your world.
No - without you doing something different, using more energy to "monitor" the battery obviously leaves less energy for the rest of the things you normally have running.
Of course a jail free app could prolong battery life, by tweaking into the system, just like Apple could (and like some android apps already do, since android has almost no management restrictions for developers). Couple things that could be done, for instance: killing apps that are known to consume batter life, or maybe turning off the screen when needed in an intelligent way.
But, as you may picture now, it's so much work that I doubt any good app will come along and I don't really know of any that do. Also, from a developer point of view, it'd be way too much time spent researching, testing and doing this for too little result, because this is already one of Apple's primary worries.
Here are few better things to do for prolonging battery life, from Apple's own list:
As for Apple Store apps, no way in hell. The app itself won't improve battery at all. At least not "automagically". It could work only as an insturctive reminder, at most.

Is it necessary that time should exist in another universe if it (universe) is there? How do we perceive timelessness?
closed as not a real question by Waffle's Crazy Peanut, Qmechanic♦ Dec 29 '12 at 10:43
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Time is just a construct of man. It is simply the length of observation. Even with a static situation, it can still be observed.
Time exists anywhere there is observation, just like the empty set.
Something which is timeless is said to be unaffected by time, unchanging. Thus, timelessness would just be the embodiment of that.
A good example of timelessness is a single length of time, as it is unaffected by time, and will be - for all time, any time, or no time.

Recently, answering a question here, Dror Bar-Natan observed that «way too often two-step complexes have a natural extension to become many-step complexes». By such a thing I mean (and I think Dror means too!) a "complex" in which $d^N=0$ and not $d^2=0$, as usual. I like to think of $N$-complexes are modules over the quiver $$\cdots\to\bullet\to\bullet\to\bullet\to\bullet\to\cdots$$ bound by the relations that say that the product of $N$ consecutive arrows is zero.
Many-step complexes have appeared in recent work of Mikhail Kapranov (arXiv:q-alg/9611005, which appears not to be published, according no MathSciNet?) and [Kassel, C.; Wambst, M. Algèbre homologique des N-complexes et homologie de Hochschild aux racines de l'unité. Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 34, (1998), 91–114], for example, but they certainly predate that: they appear already in [Mayer, W. A new homology theory. I, II. Ann. of Math. 43, (1942). 370–380, 594–605] and in [Spanier, E.H. The Mayer homology theory, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 55 (1949), 102- 112], and maybe earlier than that.
Is there a reasonable analogue for what an $N$-step simplicial complex might be?

You should obviously avoid rattlesnakes if at all possible. But if you do get bitten by one, what should you do? What supplies can be brought ahead of time to allow for the best treatment, and what should you do if you have nothing other than standard gear for a day hike? How soon after a bite is medical care needed?
When bitten by a rattlesnake:
As for things to bring to prepare: an ounce of prevention is worth a lot.
Medical care is needed immediately. Get it quickly. The Sawyer Kit is actually reported to reduce the severity of bites, but does not replace the need for care. It may buy you some extra time though.
Running or other activities that drive your heart rate up aren't generally good. It's kind of hard to keep the heart rate down because your first instinct is going to be "panic". If you have more than one person, send the one who did not get bitten for help. There's a bit of judgement needed here. If it's two days to get help, leaving a bitten person alone is not a good option.
Keep the injury low, don't tie a torniquet, don't "cut" the wound to get venom out.
There's really no other good solution.

Millions of American women and men are physically and emotionally abused by their significant other each year. Chances are someone you know- your mother, father, sister, brother, friend, co-worker or neighbor- is a victim of domestic violence.
Perhaps you feel your friend's problem will work itself out. Nothing could be further from the truth. The violence will not end until someone takes action to stop it.
Helping our friends and family live free from physical abuse is only part of the solution to the problem of domestic violence. Heightening community awareness and speaking out about the need to protect victim's rights are critical. Moreover, as role models for
the next generation, we must teach our children that the use of violence to resolve
problems and control others is unacceptable behavior.

World Design Capital 2014 Bid sheds light on Cape Town Nature by Design
As one of three finalist cities in the World Design Capital 2014 bid, Cape Town is stepping up the race to become World Design Capital 2014. In this city packed to the brim with natural beauty, it's no coincidence that nature and design frequently meet. Be inspired by some of these examples of Cape Town's nature – by design:
Durbanville Rose Garden
The Durbanville Rose Garden may be lesser known than most other Cape Town garden attractions but its extensive 3.5ha garden includes 500 rose varieties and 4 500 rose bushes, as well as trial beds used by international nurseries to test new rose species.
Edith Stephens Wetland Park
The Edith Stephens Wetland Park is about 39ha in size and has been in existence since 1955. The park is covered with wetland vegetation and several rare plant species, and there is a vlei that encourages varied birdlife - best seen during the winter months between July and September. The Edith Stephens Wetland Park showcases the natural biodiversity of the Cape Flats, while providing a public space for local communities.
Green Point Urban Park
Green Point Urban Park is a multi-purpose 12.5ha park that is open seven days a week. Green Point Urban Park encompasses a recreation area called the Green Point Park, a reconstructed golf course, and an area for exhibitions, craft markets and events. The FIFA Fan mile, constructed for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, connects heritage sites within the CBD with Green Point Urban Park via the famed 2.6km fan walk down Somerset Road.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is a 528ha botanical paradise and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of the Cape Floristic Region. Kirstenbosch is home to more than 22 000 indigenous plants (or fynbos) from different South African habitats, including many rare and threatened species. The Garden is also home to occasional art exhibitions and the annual series of Old Mutual Summer Sunset Concerts.
Life Sciences Building rooftop, University of the Western Cape (UWC)
The Life Sciences Building at the University of the Western Cape in Bellville boasts one of the few rooftop landscapes in Cape Town. This roof garden provides an educational space as an extension of UWC classrooms and laboratories. Indigenous, mostly endemic, succulents were planted as they do not need deep soil, and are drought resistant, low-growing and mat-forming, allowing them to survive harsh weather conditions.
Rondevlei Nature Reserve
Rondevlei Nature Reserve is another of Cape Town's eco-experience offerings of a wetland and lake. It is home to almost 230 bird species, reptiles, mammals and a small hippopotamus population, as well as threatened indigenous plant (fynbos) species endemic to the Western Cape.
Tsoga Environmental Centre
The Tsoga Environmental Centre is based in Langa, a local township, and provides environmental education and training for the local community in projects such as food gardens, recycling and street cleaning. The eco-friendly building houses a recycling centre, a small garden market and crafts made from waste material such as plastic bags.
Vergelegen Wine Estate
Three hundred years after the creation of Vergelegen by one of Cape Town's first settlers, Simon Van der Stel, the estate's exquisitely laid-out grounds continue to produce wines of exceptional quality, and its giant oak trees and exceptional layout of varying gardens continue to attract visitors.

Church of England Rejects Women Bishops
The General Synod of the Church of England rejected a proposal to permit women to serve as bishops. In order to pass, a 2/3 majority vote was required in all three houses: the house of bishops, of clergy, and of laity. The measure passed easily in the first two, and was approved 132-74 in the house of laity, falling just 6 votes shy for 64%. (One wonders how the Supreme Governor of the C of E, Queen Elizabeth, feels about this exclusion of women from the episcopacy. I suspect she is not amused.) Both the outgoing and the incoming Archbishops of Canterbury spoke in favor the measure, along with 72.6% of the synod delegates. Overall, 74% of members of the Church approve women bishops. Strikingly, the house of bishops voted 44-3 in favor (with 2 abstentions.) According to the Guardian, the house of bishops will convene an emergency session to consider ways to rescue the measure.
Arguably, the proposal was flawed. In an attempt to foster passage, a compromise clause was added that would allow parishes who did not wish to be led by a woman bishop to be answerable to a male bishop instead. The Church has ordained women priests since 1994, but traditionalists have been able to basically ignore them, finding more congenial parishes in which to worship, and the "opt-out" provision would allow them to continue to avoid female leadership.The tradionalists' concerns include these:Consecrating (if that is the correct term in that church) women bishops would mean that traditionalists would doubt the validity of the ordination of priests ordained by women bishops, which strikes me as an odd echo of the Donatist controversy. Anglo-Catholics also worry that having women bishops would endanger reunion with the Roman Catholic Church. Last I knew--and please do correct me if I'm off-base here--Anglican orders are considered invalid, or at best in a limbo-ish state of doubtful validity, by Rome. So, gosh, thanks for trying to play by Roman rules, but the Vatican doesn't recognize Anglican clergy anyway, male or female. And of course Anglicans who dislike female leadership are always welcome in the Anglican ordinariate, where something like 60 clergy and 900 C of E members have joined up so far. Some opponents of women bishops argue that they want to know that their bishop agrees with them that women are unworthy to lead. However, the vote in the house of bishops today should reveal to them that they cannot be assured of that now. And the other side had issues, too: some supporters of women bishops didn't care for the proposal either, since it seems to make women bishops second-class bishops because of the "opt-out" provision for dissenting parishes, while no male bishops are subject to that provision.
Given the strong support for the measure from church members and all the ordained, it seems possible that today's defeat will lead to reintroduction of new legislation with less allowance for those who oppose women bishops, not more. After all, lay delegates are elected, and these are clearly out of step with the laity they represent. We'll see. And a final thought: some believe that Church unity requires yielding to the voices of the most conservative. In fact, today's vote reveals that Church unity is a trickier beast. Today the minority against women bishops set themselves against most laity, clergy and bishops in their own church, and reinscribed a division within the worldwide Communion. 23 women are presently serving as bishops in the Anglican Communion worldwide, including Episcopal Church (USA) presiding bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. The most recently elected is Bishop Ellina Wamukoa of Swaziland. It is a sad day for those of us who rejoice at women's leadership in the Christian churches, but I cannot believe that this is the end of the line for the question of women bishops in the Church of England.

This ought to put a damper on the already slow trickle from the CofE into the Orneryariate. Do you think the UK Catholic bishops lobbyied in the background because the expense of funding married priest, their families and all of the associated costs where a shock to UK Catholics who were used to nominal contributions whenever they decided to "do" a mass?
"One wonders how the Supreme Governor of the C of E, Queen Elizabeth, feels about this exclusion of women from the episcopacy. I suspect she is not amused."Why should you presume that the Queen favors women bishops? Simply because she's a woman? I don't think such presumption is warranted - rumors over the years suggest that the Queen is actually fairly conservative in her religious views, but she is also as much a figurehead in her capacity as "Supreme Governor" as she is in her civil duties. In other words, she keeps her theological opinions to herself - and, as in political matters, it would be deemed inappropriate for her to impose her views, whatever they are, on the government or on the established church.
On a more substantive point, I would also add that the 'compromise' providing for alternate oversight for those opposing women bishops isn't really that novel - a similar scheme is already in effect for parishes that do not accept women priests and do not wish to receive bishops who have ordained women. For more info, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincial_episcopal_visitor
I did see that last week the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster tried to put the kabosh on the vote for women bishops .... http://www.thetablet.co.uk/latest-news/4791It's interesting that it was the House of Laity that doomed the vote, not the bishops or the clergy.Video here - http://www.channel4.com/news/church-of-england-prepares-to-vote-on-women... :(
I think that Winston Churchill has some wisdom that pertains to this: Its not the beginning of the end, its the end of the beginning.
As someone who still feels rooted in Anglicanism, I take a somewhat different view of all this. 1. The laity has a vote (unlike the laity in the RCC), and the fact that it was only six votes shy of approving the measure means that it will likely pass at some future date. For now, things remain as they are, and perhaps with less rancor than occurs when decisions are made in the top-down fashion as they are in the RCC. Moreover, it should be emphasized that this is a development within the C of E only, not the Anglican communion worldwide. Some churches do accept women bishops, such as ECUSA and Australia. Some do not accept ordination or consecration of women at all (notably, AB Desmond Tutu's daughter, who came to the U.S. to be ordained as an Episcopal priest b/c it's not allowed in South Africa).2. Nobody's going to ever know what QEII thinks about this because the woman is a master at waving politely and keeping her mouth shut. It doesn't matter because she has no more power in the C of E than she does in Parliament.3. This development should not be taken as a sign that Anglicans or members of the C of E think women are "unworthy" to serve as clerics or bishops; it is merely that the path by which women could be considered suitable to serve as bishops is not, at this point, squared with faith, Scripture, and reason, on which Anglicans base decisions. 4. At Lambeth 1988, when the various Anglican churches seemed most up in arms over ordination of women and consecration of bishops, a resolution was passed that essentially said that the various members of the communion should do their best to accept that national churches were, to some degree, autonomous in this area, encouraging: "That each province respect the decision and attitudes of other provinces in the ordination or consecration of women to the episcopate, without such respect necessarily indicating acceptance of the principles involved, maintaining the highest possible degree of communion with the provinces which differ."5. That said, the Eames Monitoring Group (formerly Commission) takes note of the ordination and consecration (yes, that is the correct word in Anglicanism) of women in the communion worldwide and seeks to provide counsel about how to handle differences in attitudes. It should be noted that the consecration of women bishops in the U.S. was (and, as far as I know) considered "irregular." This is different from being illegal or illicit by RCC standards. "Irregular," as I understand it, is pretty much a weasel-word that means "we wish you'd waited, but let's not bicker and argue about it now." 6. Some Lambeth conferees still protest the attendance of women bishops and refrain from taking part in some aspects of the conference to show their disapproval. This is important to watch (and one of the things the EMG does) as traditionalist churches and progressive churches within the communion become more polarized.
Perhaps I could add, at the risk of having already gone on too long here, that the C of E's vote shows that there is still some middle ground between progressives and traditionalists within the Anglican communion. Again, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. When there is no more middle ground, that's when the communion will rent.Schism will not be a big win for the RCC; as I noted in a previous thread, twice as many traditionalists have realigned with traditionalist missions (such as the one sponsored by the the bishop of Uganda) rather than taking Rome's offer to keep the BCP and become Catholic.
There's an article in the Guardian about all this:http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/21/church-house-laity-s... I don't know enough Anglican history to know how accurate the writer is. But it makes it pretty clear (as does Jean Raber above) that in the C or E (and indeed the Anglican communion in general) the laity has a voice in ecclesiastical affairs. I can understand opposing the ordination of women, though I don't agree with the stand. What I don't understand is why, having approved of the ordination of women as priests, one can theologically oppose their consecration as bishops, as if there were somehow an ontological difference between the mere priest and the bishop. Is this latter what the traditionalists are arguing?
I love that "weasel word" irregular. So useful. It's what you find particularly circumspect scripture scholars using to describe the behavior of Rahab, Tamar, Bathsheba, and Ruth, when speculating on why they turn up in Matthew's opening genealogy.
NIcholas, bishops can make more priests, and so if you think a bishop is illegitimate, you may think that the priests she ordains are, as well (ergo the Donatist-esque flavour of the situation that Lisa mentioned).
As reporterd Monday, the Vatican has expelled Rev. Roy Bourgeois, MM, in a canionicallly very questionable process,from the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers and apparently said his excommunication, latae senteniae, is in effect for havng participated in an ordination a few years ago (though he has not, as far as I know, participated in another ceremony during this time) and not recanted his views.With all of this attention, I can only hope for the blowback in these Churches and some clergy and laity who can say "enough" to these forces that that continue to support exclusion. The Anglican Communion and case is particularly intricate becasue of the varied churches and the allowance of women clergy, but not universally bishops-- boy, that takes some theologizing!
"I can understand opposing the ordination of women, though I dont agree with the stand. What I dont understand is why, having approved of the ordination of women as priests, one can theologically oppose their consecration as bishops, as if there were somehow an ontological difference between the mere priest and the bishop. Is this latter what the traditionalists are arguing?"I don't think there is a theological reason not to, but a traditional one. And for traditionalist Anglicans in the C of E, the thinking runs something like, "bad enough to have women priests, but at least parishes can reject them and pretend they don't exist; you can't do that if your bishop is a woman." Plus, as Abe notes, women bishops can make more priests, and I know many traditionalist Episcopalians who blame women priests and bishops for "ordaining the queers" (direct quote from an Episcopal parishioner back in the 1980s).Perhaps the priest-yes, bishop-no rule in the C of E isn't too different, practically speaking, from the two-track system in the Orthodox communions, where priests can be married, but bishops are chosen from the ranks of celibates. There's no theological reason I can find for this practice, but choosing celibate priests for the episcopate is simply now accepted practice and there doesn't seem to be much interest in reversing that tradition.My analogy falls apart in an important way because there IS a historical precedent for married bishops in the Orthodox tradition, and there has never been any historical precedent for women priests or bishops in Anglican, Orthodox or Catholic traditions (though I understand there is some dispute over the existence of female deacons in the early church).
"The Anglican Communion and case is particularly intricate becasue of the varied churches and the allowance of women clergy, but not universally bishops boy, that takes some theologizing!"The Anglican communion does not universally allow women priests.
Prime Minister David Cameron:Im very clear the time is right for women bishops; it was right many years ago, he told Parliament on Wednesday. They need to get on with it, as it were, and get with the program. But you do have to respect the individual institutions and the way they work while giving them a sharp prod. "Sharp prod" -- all the way to the "Tower?"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/22/world/europe/church-of-england-rejects...
The wider church is coming to accept women's ordination to the presbyterate and episcopate. Just a matter of time as folks think about the issue, read about it, etc. Just a matter of time.
Lisa: You wrote: "Consecrating (if that is the correct term in that church) women bishops would mean that traditionalists would doubt the validity of the ordination of priests ordained by women bishops, which strikes me as an odd echo of the Donatist controversy."I don't think that the comparison with Donatism is apt. The Donatists argued that unholy bishops could not celebrate valid sacraments. The contemporary C of E members who would question the validity of ordinations performed by female bishops would argue, not from the unholiness of such bishops, but from their not having been validly ordained as bishops, the reason for which had nothing to do with the holiness of the ones who ordained them It isn't the same thing.
Hi Joe,No one's commenting on the holiness or unholiness of women bishops, to be sure, I agree with you there. The echo I hear isn't about holiness but spiritual authority to validly preside at sacraments. The Donatists rejected the traditores' spiritual authority because the traditores caved under Roman pressure. The traditionalists in the C of E reject the spiritual authority of women because they are women. (And to say that they were not validly consecrated bishops, as some of the trads say, merely repeats the issue, I think--women as women lack the capacity to exercise valid and recognized ecclesial authority, hence cannot be ordained, be consecrated or ordain.) The two cases are different in that one chose to be a traditore or not, (though admittedly the pressure was intense,) but in the traditionalist argument one is unworthy to lead simply by reason of being born female. My understanding about ECUSA ordination of women is that the matter was one of liceity, not validity as it is in the RCC, but I'm not sure if that's Anglican Communion-wide, so may not play a part in this question.I want to add a nuance, before some troll accuses me of equating being bishop with some kind of power grab. Bishops DO exercise ecclesial service which takes the form of leadership and teaching. This role is better framed as "service to and for" their people rather than "power over," I think. Yet it is leadership and authority. I add this also because there's some discomfort in Anglican circles about speaking of women bishops as a matter of "equal power," which seems inapt for a gospel-flavored model of leadership. (Unless one thinks in a more Latinate way of power as "ability to do stuff," which might be a helpful lens here.) BTW, loved your VII lecture here in Berkeley! Thanks!
Last post on here, but re-reading what Lisa wrote, this caught my attention: "It is a sad day for those of us who rejoice at womens leadership in the Christian churches ..."I always seem to blunder into these conversations, offering "my life as an Anglican" info without thinking about why a committed Catholic, even one who favored women's ordination in the RCC, would care about this issue.
I don't know if I count as committed ;) but I care what happens in the Anglican Communion - I have Anglican/Episcopal friends and we're all part of one Christian family, plus I care about the issue in particular because I'm a woman, I guess.
The few laypeople who voted against the ordination of women in the Anglican Synod probably did the new archbishop of Canterbury a favor. Discontent is often from comparison. Now, at least, when he visits conservative Africa (especially Nigeria), where more than half of all Anglicans live, he won't have to feel so apologetic about Anglican women serving as bishops in the UK.
And here's Sarah Coakley with a theological/traditional argument. http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2012/11/23/3639111.htmMoney quote: "So what we have created in the past twenty years is a theological anomaly which has insidiously been made to seem normal: a whole cadre of priests - a third of our priesthood now - who are supposedly intrinsically disabled from exercising the charisms of spiritual unity and authority historically associated with the episcopate. It is here that the main theological scandal still lies: the implicit creation and normalization of second-class priesthood. The terrible danger is that this may now be extended into second-class episcopacy....Such a coherent "theology of women bishops," if there is to be such, must be therefore be a renewed and distinctly Anglican theology of the episcopate in toto, and not a capitulation to a second-order "female" form of the office, or to any other political compromise which hides an actual theological contradiction, or - again - to some negotiated pragmatic stand-off which continues to distract our gaze from the already-undermined position of women clergy in our church.Twenty years ago our Church voted to ordain women. We have arrived at the point when all the indications are that the current theological anomaly of priests who cannot by definition be bishops has become an unacceptable skandalon to the Church's life. "
A Guardian editorial on this ..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/21/female-bishops-embar... Alan Wilson ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2012/nov/21/voted-against... Giles Fraser ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2012/nov/21/female-bishop...
Of course, those opposing women bishops within Anglicanism are not doing so simply to try to agree with the Roman Catholic Church. There also is the question of fidelity to Scripture. And also the question of Eastern Orthodoxy. Eastern Orthodoxy will never accept female clergy, so those pushing for female clergy are, in effect, indicating that they have no desire to achieve ecclesial communion with Eastern Orthodoxy.
Well put in the Daily Mail cartoon: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/coffeebreak/cartoons/mac.html (Go to the Nov. 22 cartoon--I can't figure out how to get to the exact image.) It does seem that there's a generational shift here as well. Boomers, now in their 50's, might head to the ramparts to right an injustice, but younger folks just vote with their feet. Why fight when you can just walk away?
@Thorin, Here's the CTSA statement, approved overwhelmingly by that body of Catholic scholars, on the biblical question you raise. (This is about ordination, not consecration, but Coakley, who I linked to above, considers the two inextricable.) http://natcath.org/NCR_Online/documents/ctsa1.htm. The vote was 216 yes, 22 no, and 10 abstained. CTSA vote notwithstanding, it's a careful and respectful engagement with magisterial teaching.(I'd have to add, though half in jest,that scripture also says that bishops should be "the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach..." (1 Tim. 3:2.) All of our celibate bishops fail to be in accord with a clear scriptural command to be married. And if you'd like to say--I would agree--that this is a culturally-bound norm that the tradition moved beyond to affirm the possibility of celibate bishops, I'd say that the same argument fits the question of women bishops, mutatis mutandis.) And I have to say I know nothing at all about the issues around of the role of women in Eastern Orthodoxy, so can't comment on that.
Thanks, Crystal, for the NT Wright. His point about progress is, of course, well taken. But I'm not convinced by his point is about Junia and Phoebe. He thinks they're pseudo-clergy, but why does he think so? Not like him not to give reasons.
Hi Ann,I saw this past story about Junia here ... http://www.thestar.com/living/Religion/article/244389And Mark Goodacre, a prof of NT studies at Duke, had a past podcast about her here ... http://podacre.blogspot.com/2009/09/nt-pod-12-junia-first-woman-apostle.... It does seem like NT Wright's article was short. He wrote more about women bishops a few years ago here ... http://www.fulcrum-anglican.org.uk/news/2006/20060721kasper.cfm?doc=126
Thanks, Crystal. From what I've read "Junia" clearly was a female name. So the burden of proof is on the other side to show that the name must have been misspelled or otherwise been corrupted. And if there had been no Mary Magdalen and no Phoebe, then the case would be stronger for a male "Junias". But that there were at least three definitely shows that women were not strangers to power in the early Church. What would be strange would be if it were claimed that there were *many* women leaders. At the time women's functions were (fairly or unfairly) mainly in the home, so one would not expect them to assume leadership because most of them would not have had the needed skills and experience to lead. But there have always been exceptional women, and so it's not surprising that a few of them were tapped to lead in the early Church..
Some of the more powerful early English women saints, particularly abbesses, were depicted carrying croziers. Is this emblem more common in Anglo-Saxon iconography? I don't know, but I've often thought it would make an interesting research question.Certainly, the influence of women in the early English church was notable. The English women saints Bede writes about were energetic, self-directed visionaries. (In political circles, many women seemed equally energetic and self-directed; one of them led an army against her husband at Taunton for reasons one longs to have explained in full.)Did the legacy of so much female influence on the early English church have anything to do with the acceptance of women clergy and bishops, if not in the C of E, then in some of its sister churches? That might be a stretch, but certainly in England the celebration of these women saints is still alive and well at the local level. I enjoyed a short correspondence with the folks at St. Werburgh Catholic Church in Chester, where the city has an annual festival in her honor, and in which Catholics and Anglicans alike participate. She's still trying to hold the Church together, it seems. http://www.marketingprojects.co.uk/news/stwerburgh-festival#about
Jean --I think your right about the exceptional English women leaders. Just read a little bio of Queen Matilda the Good. She was so able that when her husband Henry I had to be away on the Continent for months and even for more than a year at a time, he left her as Regent. She was known as particularly generous to the poor, and she helped to keep the peace between state and church. When she died the people wanted her declared a saint. Amazing person. It's a wonder she's not better known. Her life would make a great movie :-)http://garethrussellcidevant.blogspot.com/2010/08/daughter-of-church-lif..., of course, there was the exceptionally powerful and able English monarch Elizabeth I. The very fact that not all English monarchs have to be male says something about the English culture.
Some commentary on early church leaders who were women: http://www.chinstitute.org/index.php/chm/first-century/early-church-wome...
More thoughtful commentary on the issue: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/9693284/Women-bishops-a-failure....
Ms. Fullam,Pope John Paul II reiterated the Church's teaching that the Church cannot ordain women, and, invoking his authority as the successor to Peter, unequivocally stated that "this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful." That the CTSA would ignore clear papal teaching on this matter is nothing short of scandalous. As for the Eastern Orthodox view of this matter, it was well stated by Archbishop Hilarion of the Russian Orthodox Church, in his address to the Anglicans a few years ago: http://www.mospat.ru/en/2010/09/10/news25819/Archbishop Hilarion's entire address is well worth reading, but his conclusion, like John Paul II's, is crystal clear: "I can say with certainty that the introduction of the female episcopate excludes even a theoretical possibility for the Orthodox to recognize the apostolic continuity of the Anglican hierarchy."
Thorin --It isn't true that all papal teachings are true. Or do you have some reason to think that all popes are always right? Doesn't that turn the popes into idols?
Interesting that now Parliament is threatening to enforce the making of women bishops. Many of those who would be upset by this church/state possibility seemed ok enough with things like having voting bishops in the house of lords. http://www.thinkinganglicans.org.uk/archives/005776.html

I have been doing a lot of reading and tutorials on Dependency Injection via Ninject in the hopes of re-factoring one of my applications to be more flexible and scalable in the future. My web app is built on top of an API that gives me access to the back-end infrastructure.
Part of my technical debt that I'm trying to clear up is the repeated code that comes with every single API call that I have to make. The API has about 45-50 methods for fetching and managing different entities.
The following (greatly simplified) code example illustrates a recurring pattern that is found everywhere in my code. Can Ninject/DI help make things easier for me?
namespace MyApp
public class example
public static WebAccount Fetch_Account(Guid accountID)
//Create instance of API, request and response objects
WebAPI api = new WebAPI();
Fetch_Account_Request accountRequest = new Fetch_Account_Request();
Fetch_Account_Response accountResponse = new Fetch_Account_Response();
//Api call security signature
ApiSecuritySignature signature = new ApiSecuritySignature(/*My API ID */, /*My API Key */);
accountRequest.API_ID = /* My API ID */;
accountRequest.Token = signature.Token;
accountRequest.TimeStamp = signature.Date;
//Id of the account to be fetched
accountRequest.Account_ID = accountID;
//Fetch the account
accountResponse = api.Fetch_Account(accountRequest);
return accountResponse.Account;
public static void Manage_Account(WebAccount account)
//Create instance of API, request and response objects
WebAPI api = new WebAPI();
Manage_Account_Request manageAccountRequest = new Manage_Account_Request();
Manage_Account_Response manageAccountResponse = new Manage_Account_Response();
//Api call security signature
ApiSecuritySignature signature = new ApiSecuritySignature(/*My API ID */, /*My API Key */);
manageAccountRequest.API_ID = /* My API ID */;
manageAccountRequest.Token = signature.Token;
manageAccountRequest.TimeStamp = signature.Date;
//account to modify
manageAccountRequest.Account_ID = account.Account_ID;
//set Account properties
manageAccountRequest.Email = account.Email;
manageAccountRequest.Address_1 = account.Address_1;
manageAccountRequest.City = account.Postal_Zip;
manageAccountRequest.Postal_Zip = account.Postal_Zip;
manageAccountRequest.Country = account.Country;
manageAccountRequest.State = account.State;
//Make the call
manageAccountResponse = api.Manage_Account(manageAccountRequest);
It should be noted that I do not have access to the code for all of the request and response objects, they are part of a shared library that I reference.

Fix a set $X$ with right $G$-action. Give $X$ a topology $\tau$ and make $G$ a topological group. (These topologies need not make the action continuous).
We can define another topology $\tau'$ on $X$ as the largest topology making the action $(X,\tau) \times G \to (X,\tau')$ continuous. (This is also called the quotient topology on $X$ with respect to the action $(X,\tau) \times G \to X$.)
Note that if the $G$-action is continuous for $\tau$ then $\tau'= \tau$.
For example, if $X = \mathbb{R}$, $\tau$ is the discrete topology and $G$ is $(\mathbb{R}, +)$ with the usual topology acting on $X$ by addition, then $G \times X / \sim = \mathbb{R}$ with the usual topology (unless I am much mistaken).
More interesting examples exist, e.g. the Skorokhod topology (again unless I am mistaken).
This construction feels useful enough that it must be well known and have a name. Can anyone provide me with more information?
[EDIT: actually I don't think it's necessary that $G$ is a topological group, just that it's a group with a topology. Although it is probably necessary for inversion to be continuous at the identity and for multiplication to be continuous on $\{e\} \times G$.]
[EDIT: made the presentation clearer to address the existing comments, changed title]

I have a working SAT implementation, but I am running into a problem where direct collisions at a corner do not work for tiled surfaces. That is, it clips on the surface when going in a certain direction because it gets hung up on one of the tiles, and so, for example, if I walk across a floor while holding both down and left, the player will stop when meeting the next shape because the player will be colliding with the right side rather than with the top of the floor tile.
This illustration shows what I mean:
The top block will translate right first and then up.
I have checked here and here which are helpful, but this does not address what I should do in a situation where I don't have a tile-based world. My usage of the term "tile" before isn't really accurate since what I'm doing here is manually placing square obstacles next to each other, not assigning them spots on a grid.
What can I do to fix this?

I have been practicing kung fu for the past one and a half years. I can do head level basic kicks like roundhouse, side and front kicks but when I spar I don't feel like attacking the opponent. I seem to prefer blocking. How can I get rid of this mental block?
I have two methods I rely on when I become a counter-puncher (or counter-thrower, or passive grappler).
But really, the best solution is to look inside yourself, and ask: why do you feel like blocking? Are you afraid of getting countered, knocked down, blocked, injured? Is this a new problem, or did it arise recently? Track down and destroy the root of this mental block.
If the issue is that you're afraid of hurting someone, then ask yourself why that is. Did you hurt a partner in the past? Do you not have control of your technique? Do you not enjoy being hit yourself? Recognize that trying hard to defeat your opponent is the very best thing you can do to help their progress. In judo, this is known as jita kyoei, or mutual benefit and welfare. The idea is that by challenging each other, all students improve together. By depriving your partner of a diligent attempt to kick them in the head, you are stunting their growth as a martial artist.
You could try to focus on counter attacks for a while.
As soon as you receive a kick (and preferably block it) you immediately answer it with a kick on your own.
This helps your reflexes, may catch you opponent off-guard and -most importantly- you don't have to think about when might be a good time for an attack: your opponent gives you the command for your attack by their action.
This way you may get used to the feeling of attacking and later start your own attacks to get more control of the bout.
I believe most of people have ingrained into system a social unwritten law. We do not hurting other people.
The law is unconscious and generally it is a good thing. Fighting systems do teach how to go over the psychical restriction, or I should rather say fighting systems should do it. Your problem is common and you need to work on it.
I remember the first time when I kicked someone in the head with full power, I felt the door opening and that was weird.
Lack of attacking is caused by the unconscious fear of hitting and being hit. Additionally if your system is allowing head punches the barrier will be stronger. As hitting the head is as socially unacceptable.
When you spar put your mind in the predator state. What I mean is think about your partner as a prey that you are hunting. Keep it in mind. Make your body ready for attacking, not for defense and do it by focusing on attack. Always when partner does brake the distance you go. Once, you brake your mind. You will see that even when you do block you putting yourself to attack position.
A good attack is an attack that succeeds. In order for an attack to succeed, it has to make contact with a proper area on the partner's body. In order for an attack to make proper contact, the way has to be clear, that is to say, it must not be blocked.
So, how do you throw an attack that does not get blocked?
If all else fails, you could always ask them to stand still and then beat them up...
One good drill to help you is to work with a partner at quarter-speed. You always attack, he always blocks. Both of you are moving at only a quarter of the speed of a normal sparring match. Neither of you is allowed to speed up. Your goal is to chain your attacks, that is, as soon as one attack ends, another one begins. You must always attempt to make contact: there is no feinting in this drill. None of the attacks are allowed to be 'setup' attacks, either: there is no such thing as 'this round-house kick will get blocked but will put me in a good position for the strike I really want to throw'. Do this for three minutes, then switch roles. The defender's role is relatively simple: he is not allowed to attack, but he is allowed to sidestep, dodge, block, roll, weave.. Whatever is necessary.
Quarter-speed is important: your brain will not move as fast as your body, at first.
imho, you can do it in 3 ways; I am not sure what could be applied in kung fu, but here it is:
(if you want to know more, please take a minute to read my answer, explaining soft/hard/semihard concepts here)
This question has already been kicked around here a few times in slightly different forms.
There is a whole list of things I could mention but personally I think the key thing is to gain experience, which you can only do by training more and sparring more. The exact 'thing' required is different for each person. For me (many years ago) it was the realisation that I could (i.e. had the capability) hurt and disable my opponent and therefore end the fight - this mainly came down to having confidence in my ability and technique.
Don't forget that you are not there just for your sparring partner to practice on - by 'beating' your sparring opponent you are doing them a favour and showing them the weaknesses in their technique (while building up your own proficiency - success breeds success).
While you may feel comfortable doing head high kicks in practice this in no way translates to sparring ability - in fact I would always advocate not using a head kick until the moment is right (a head kick is considerably slower than other types of kick). Stick with some shorter and more basic moves and don't forget to move around and read your opponent.
I think you are pretty much on the right track when you say 'mental block'.
You are not attacking; and it is very likely that you are not attacking because:
1 - you don't have enough confidence in your knock-out power 2 - you are afraid you will be exposed and counter-attacked.
for the first one, I would train control and precision. Train in slow-motion. This cannot be over-emphasized. Accuracy, control and economic movements (as to not telegraph what you are doing) are the three main components for this.
For the second one, you need to acknowledge that eventually you will get hit. This is something that only experience will provide you with confidence that a) your technique is polished and b) that your confidence will provide you a safe betting on risking exposure via an attack.
I would advise against trying to block. learn good foot-work and keep your distance while keeping your stance down. When it feels right to hit, hit with confidence... it is all about letting it go (with control)
There are already a bunch of good answers here, but let me indulge myself and try to rationalize the experience I've had in both learning myself and learning along with my classmates.
The most common reason for this blockage is usually fear. There are several types of fear and consequently several ways of overcoming the fear:
Fear of getting hurt. This one is probably the very first fear that inhibits attacking and counter attacking. To hit an opponent, you have to step into the distance where the opponent can also hit you.
Prospect of getting hurt is frightening. This is something that you just have to get used to. The best cure so far is that in the controlled and low energy sparring situation, you deliberately let yourself be hit every once in a while. That will get you used to the sensation of being hit and knowing that sensation, it is no longer as frightening.
Fear of hurting the opponent. This is the other side of the coin. If you are a normal human being, you have some level of empathy that forbids doing onto the others what you do not want to be done for yourself. This is normal to a point. I do not really know any other way to fight it except dropping the concept of "attacking" or "violence" from the interaction.
I've heard people recommending humming your favorite tune while sparring or imagining that instead of gloves on your hands, you are holding two cups of beverages that you are trying to offer to the opponent. Any way, the act of sparring is mostly not about violence but rather about strategy and tactics.
In some sense it is a very much like playing a very quick version of contact chess. You just see an opening and you go in. Not thinking of hurting or hitting.
Fear of the antagonist. This is somewhat tied to the fear of getting hurt, but it is different. Even if you are used to being hit and are not afraid of being hurt, quite often, what gets you is the fact that the opponent is attacking you.
You usually start dealing with the attack, and you block it, but then comes the other attack and then next one, and then the next one. You are left dealing with one attack after another and it seems that the opponent is overwhelming you, and not giving you a chance to counter. And if the opponent stops, so do you, to compose yourself before you start looking for openings.
If this is what you feel, you are concentrating too much on the antagonist. Instead of exclusively turning your attention to the attacking limb, you should instead look for opportunities to use that attack to slip in and counter, blocking or deflecting en route. Thus, the act of deflection will start feeling more like a side effect of the counter rather than primary means of defence.
In any case, there is a wisdom in something that my teacher once said:
The way I learn to avoid bad habits is sometimes to suffer the consequences of why they are bad in the first place.
Spar with fake knives... perhaps some markers as you can see where they hit. Sometimes full contact (like boxing) is good as well. Multiple attackers are also excellent practice for learning the limitations of defensive combat.
Another option is practicing attacks in drill (freeform or planned) until they become more habitual.
And, of course, keep in mind what you are trying to do when sparring. Get some role-play in mind as to why you want to defeat your opponent rather than just not getting hit.
If the reason for your mental block is because you don't want to hurt your sparring partner, then you must think about it this way:
If you don't attack your sparring partner, your sparring partner will most likely not learn anything from the fight regarding defense, and will possibly feel insulted that you find it hard to attack because you might hurt him.
See it like this:
Your sparring will think you find him weak because you don't want to "hurt" him. In my opinion that is just disrespectful. Giving it all you've got is good sportsmanship. Holding back is disrespectful.
Once you think about it that way, you'll have less trouble overcoming that mental block.

Nonprescription Antacids for Heartburn
Nonprescription Antacids for Heartburn
Many people take nonprescription antacids for mild or occasional heartburn.
Examples of nonprescription antacids include:
Most nonprescription antacids are safe to use during pregnancy to treat heartburn symptoms. Antacids that contain sodium bicarbonate should not be taken by pregnant women because they can cause fluid buildup.
If you need to use antacids frequently, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about his or her recommendations and cautions. Be sure to follow the package directions.

Update from Chairman Peetz - October 16, 2012
September was a busy month as our University was alive with the beginnings of a new academic year. It is good to see this renewed focus on our primary mission --- education.
September was also a month in which the University made notable progress on a number of action steps the Board of Trustees, working in tandem with the Administration, is taking to enhance our infrastructure and our policies and procedures as we continue to build on Penn State's outstanding heritage and reputation.
New Era of Transparency
To start, as previously reported, we are enhancing our management structure and refocusing our philosophy of how we act as a board, administration, and a University, entering a new era of better, more representative and transparent governance. I am fully committed to this path.
Emblematic of that approach is the fact that Board of Trustees committee and other sessions are now --- with exceptions for legal or personnel matters and certain seminars when no action is deliberated or taken --- open to the public. This most recent one also featured a public comment session and this session will be ongoing for all regularly scheduled meetings.
Freeh Report
To be sure, that turned out to be a lively exchange, with most of the questions --- and comment and opinion --- about the Freeh Report.
As way of background, the Freeh Report was produced by a team of people led by Judge Louis Freeh, who is a former federal judge and director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His credentials are impeccable. It is a large and extensive report.
Within the 283 pages about past events there is plenty of room for people to question, comment, agree or disagree, or even attempt to do their own analyses. This was, of course, an independent report.
But as we move forward the critically important part of Judge Freeh's report lies in the governance recommendations he makes to strengthen our University, and that is the necessary focus of the University.
In line with that fact, approximately three months ago, after reading and digesting the Freeh Report, in a letter to you we outlined how the Board would take a disciplined and focused approach to the report's recommendations.
Virtually all of Judge Freeh's interim recommendations have been implemented. And now --- importantly --- we have assigned review of the final recommendations to various joint University and Board committees. An update on the status of the 119 recommendations made to the University is available on the Progress website located at http://progress.psu.edu/resource-library/story/penn-state-takes-action-on-many-freeh-report-recommendations. Monthly updates will be provided and you are encouraged to track our progress as we move forward.
The Board is committed to completing the evaluation and implementation of the Freeh recommendations by the end of next year. And as noted, in the few instances where review and consideration may suggest implementation is not wise or appropriate, we will provide the reasons for non-implementation.
Evaluation and implementation of these recommendations is a complex effort that is being done with resolve, high attention to detail, and thoughtfulness.
There is no doubt that this effort will add to Penn State's high reputation. Clearly we are known as a leading educational institution. To that well-deserved reputation we will also be known as best in class for university governance.
Management Searches Underway
On other fronts, progress is also visible and concrete. At the September 14 Board meeting we announced that the nationwide search for our new president would commence this coming month, November. At that time we will let you know the members of the search committee, the process, and timetable for completion.
We also discussed the formation of the Blue and White Vision Council. This is a prestigious group of individuals who will identify key strategic challenges and opportunities facing Penn State in the years ahead and assess the implications for the university. It will focus on what Penn State is today as well as what it can and should be in the future.
We are very fortunate too to have Dr. Stan Ikenberry, the distinguished former University of Illinois president, and former president of the American Council on Education, and current senior fellow at Penn State advising the work of the Council.
The Council's efforts will be an important prerequisite for defining the characteristics and experience we will look for in our next University President.
The search for a new compliance officer is in the final stages.
Having a director of University compliance will coordinate some 140 distributed compliance personnel, giving us vastly better control and oversight. We are updating other departments as well, including the important areas of human resources and university relations.
Underway now, with the appointment of vice president and general counsel Steve Dunham, is the enhancement of our legal department.
As is evident, we are revamping, upgrading and enhancing our management team and our infrastructure. The investments made to core functions are necessary and will pay solid dividends for the future.
Finally, it's important that you know that we on the Board do understand the frustration of many of our alumni in regards to certain aspects of the Freeh Report and the NCAA sanctions. Within that frustration there is constructive thinking that we need and desire to exchange with our alumni.
We have begun to meet with alumni leadership across the University to further open communications and work collaboratively on the great challenges ahead.
History demonstrates when all shoulders are against the wheel, pushing in the same direction with the same effort, progress is inexorable.
Given that fact, as we listen to each other and work together we too will witness the inevitable and be a key part of such positive momentum.
We as a University are making great progress in our continued development. But we need to face the facts of what happened here, accept responsibility, make change happen, and then intensify our focus on our most important mission --- education.
We must do this together. We Are Penn State. And we need to be a community focused on our future.
Karen B. Peetz '77
Chairman, Penn State Board of Trustees

So, my computer has a Radeon mobility card and Compiz doesn't seem to want to play nice with it. The nets me a tradeoff: I can use the proprietary drivers and get the boosted performance and take a hit to several usability items, or I can use the "standard" drivers and take the hit to performance in favor of everything working properly.
I also happen to do a lot of alpha testing on a spare partition on this machine. This leaves me wondering, which driver should I be using? Is it more important to get the "standard" drivers to actually perform better? Or should I be filing bugs against Unity because it doesn't work with the proprietary set properly? Or both.
What do developers suggest that I run to benefit the project more in the long term? Regardless of what type of graphics card is used. Or is that a factor in what set should be used?

I right clicked Sites in the IIS7 Manager and selected Add Virtual Directory and I clicked the Test Settings button, this messages is displayed:
The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in
account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot
verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application

a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem,
verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path.
Then test these settings again.
The message does not tell us how to do any of these things.
The server I'm setting up has Windows7 Home Premium installed on it. The computer is set up with all defaults set and has a computer name such as MyComputer-PC (not the real name). There is no domain set up.
Can you tell us how to do what is described in the message?

Left to right, SUNY Geneseo physics research assistants Danae Polsin, a senior, and Angela Simone and Mollie Bienstock, both sophomores, count the decay rate of a radioactive carbon-1 sample using the Ohio University accelerator in Athens, Ohio. Other students with the research group were seniors Meg Russ, Collin Stillman and Michael Krieger and junior Drew Ellison. All are physics majors.
GENESEO, N.Y. - Greece's capital, Athens, has coincidentally emerged as a common theme among at least three activities involving Geneseo students and faculty this summer.
• Professor of English Tom Greenfield taught a humanities course in Athens, Greece, hosted by the University of Indianapolis.
• Physics professor Stephen Padalino twice took a group of undergraduate research assistants with him to Athens, Ohio, to conduct research in the accelerator lab at Ohio University (the town and county were both named for the ancient center of learning).
• Though she wasn't in Athens, Geneseo senior Cara Eichenberger worked this summer as a production runner for NBC's TODAY Show in London during the Olympic Games, which Athens first hosted in the modern era in 1896. Relatedly, Greenfield's humanities students visited Olympia in Greece and stood in the very spot the Olympic torch had been lit a few weeks earlier en route to London.
"It's a total coincidence but interesting nonetheless," said Becky Lewis, Geneseo's assistant provost for international programs. "What better city than Athens to represent the value of learning over the centuries?"
Humanities is a required course of all Geneseo students and 19 took the opportunity in May and June to go abroad to experience the culture and environment where ancient philosophers and statesmen worked and taught.
"Humanities is a whole different course on location," said Greenfield. "We stood in front of the ruins of a house where Socrates visited and read one of the dialogues together in that area. I sometimes taught with students sitting in the Theater of Dionysius at the base of the Acropolis. Students appreciate more what these great thinkers contributed to civilization when they walk where they walked."
Also with the humanities students was Helen Thomas, program director and assistant instructor for the course.
"Our rooftop study space had a spectacular view of the Acropoolis," said Thomas. "We were there during the Greek elections this year and observed a great deal of political activity and real Greek hospitality in spite of severe economic hardship. Our students report that they had a very worthwhile experience."
In Athens, Ohio, Padalino and seven Geneseo student research assistants took two trips to Ohio University to use the university's particle accelerator to make nuclear physics measurements for research Padalino is conducting. Geneseo alumnus Paul King is a nuclear physics research scientist at the university and met with the delegation several times while they were there.
"Geneseo has one of the few particle accelerators at a liberal arts college and we use it heavily for our research, but we needed some additional capabilities for this project," said Padalino. "Our colleagues in Athens generously accommodated us by letting us use their 'T' Type Van De Graaff accelerator, which is one of only two such "T" type Van De Graaffs in the world. Interestingly, the other one is at the University of Athens in Greece."
Padalino said the visits also gave students the opportunity to use a larger accelerator, which widened their educational experience.
At the London Olympic Games, Geneseo senior Cara Eichenberger, an economics and international relations major from Suffern, N.Y., worked 14-hour days on a multitude of tasks to support the Olympics coverage of NBC's TODAY Show. Among other things, she picked up and escorted guests to the program and helped sort out the logistics of athlete and celebrity interviews.
"I was seeking an adventure for my final summer in college and I found it," said Eichenberger. "I was so fortunate and so grateful to have had this experience. It was hectic and exhausting at times but the routine tasks were completely outweighed by the times spent talking to people like swimmers Ryan Lochte and Nathan Adrian and celebrities like Jimmy Fallon and Giada De Laurentiis."
Geneseo students have study abroad opportunities based in 20 countries and "study away" opportunities in several locations in the United States. They also often take major field trips as part of on-campus courses, similar to the group's visit to Athens, Ohio.
"These experiences fit beautifully with our liberal arts focus at Geneseo and are examples of the rich off-campus opportunities our students have all year long," said Lewis.

The ninth annual Bat Blitz, hosted by the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the Southeastern Bat Diversity Network, is set for July 25-29, 2010, at Fort Mountain State Park near Chatsworth. The blitz provides an opportunity for researchers, management biologists and students from federal and state agencies, universities, and industry to exchange information and develop strategies for studying bat communities.
The event kicks off with a family-friendly education night at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 25. Admission is free but visitors will have to pay the $5 park pass fee to part.
The bat blitz involves intense surveys – three nights of mist netting at 30-40 sites, acoustic sampling and other techniques – to look at the species composition and prevalence of bats on state and federal lands within an hour of Fort Mountain. Base camp will be at the park.
"The bat blitz brings researchers together from around the eastern U.S. to sample a large area in a short period of time," said Trina Morris, a wildlife biologist with the Wildlife Resources Division, part of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. "It provides a great opportunity to teach people about bats and survey techniques and to learn more about the bats in the area."
Small insectivorous bats like the species found in Georgia can eat more than 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in an hour. Other species of bats around the world serve important roles as pollinators of crops such as bananas and mangoes.

How difficult is it to know what $\pi_1(Spec(\mathbb{Z}[1/(p_1...p_r)]))$ is? Is it independent of the choice of $p_1,...,p_r$? When is it known, and what is known about it?
The full etale fundamental groups in question are, I believe, complicated infinite profinite groups. (They are however "small" in the technical sense that they have only finitely many open normal subgroups of any given finite index, as follows from Hermite's finiteness theorem in algebraic number theory.)
The abelianization of $\pi_1(\operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{p}])$ is the Galois group of the maximal abelian extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ which is ramified only at $p$ (and infinity). By Class Field Theory, this field is the direct limit of the ray class fields of conductor $p^n (\infty)$, i.e., the field generated by all $p$-power roots of unity. The Galois group is thus the inverse limit of the groups $(\mathbb{Z}/p^n \mathbb{Z})^{\times}$. When $p$ is odd, this is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mu_{p-1}$ (where the second factor is cyclic of order $p-1$). So yes, this depends on $p$!
To add on to Pete's answer, let me comment that the differences are even more pronounced if we look at the maximal pro-$p$ quotient $\pi_1(\operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{p_1p_2\cdots p_r}\right])^{(p)}$ of this etale fundamental group. For example, if $r\geq 4$, then this group is infinite, in fact non-$p$-adic-analytic, if each $p_i\equiv 1\pmod{p}$ and is trivial if each $p_i\not\equiv1\pmod{p}$. The latter is basically for stupid reasons (only primes which are 1 mod p can ramify in a $p$-extension). But even ignoring stupid cases, there's a lot of fantastic arithmetic going on here. For example, $\pi_1(\operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{19\cdot 103}\right])^{(2)}$ is finite whereas $\pi_1(\operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{17\cdot 103}\right])^{(2)}$ is infinite, results which stem from simple quadratic residue calculations. Figuring out to generate these kinds of results more generally is an active and difficult area of research.

Noob video question...
Hi there, loving the Sencha Animator Trial, but I just can't get my video files to play, either in my desktop browser (Chrome/Safari) or on my iPhone or Android phone. I just get a 'placeholder' image on my phones and a blank page in my desktop browser. My files are mp4's and I'm loading them into the WebM src.
If I include the controls (which I don't want) I am then able to click to play. But what I actually want is the video to auto-play without any controls.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hi russbass48, and welcome to the forums.
From your description you are doing everything correctly, and MP4 videos should play regularly in your browser. Have you checked the property 'autoplay' for the video? When you select the video base state, it is located under General -> Video -> Autoplay.
If the video is still not starting with this option checked, please let us know.
8 Oct 2012 7:29 AM #3
Hi russbass84,
Another thing that could be causing the problem is that you are loading the video in WebM src, while MP4 should be loaded to H.264 src.
Also, when you insert a video element, it comes preconfigured with sources for both fields. Before you change it to your own video, can you verify if the sample video works when you export the project?

Same issue, video is not working on ipad or iphone
Hi there,
I read all of your guides and tried with different video encoding tools but the result is always the same: no autoplay nor play on ipad and iphone. The only solution is to publish with the "Play controls" option flagged...but this is not what I want.
A second issue is that I can see random black lines around the video on my Ipad and sometimes on Chrome (Windows version).
Here you can find a small test with a single scene project produced with your latest version of Sencha 1.3.198 that contains a single animation:
