Map example JVM Error 104 Uncaught: NullPointerException
I am not sure if this is the right place to post but maybe someone can help...
I used PhoneGap to package the Map example that comes in the Sencha SDK. The only changes I made was to add and change a few of the javascript and css locations as below:
HTML Code:
<head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" id="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no"> <script src="javascript/json2.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="javascript/phonegap.0.9.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="sencha-touch.css" type="text/css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="sencha-touch.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/GmapTracker.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/GmapTraffic.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="index.js"></script> <title>Map Test</title> </head>
Has anyone got any ideas what might cause this??

I'm stuck with the same problem. It seems to be caused by PhoneGap itself and not by SenchaTouch or Google Maps. The Sencha Touch Maps example can be opened with the browser of the BlackBerry 9800 Simulator without any problems.
I'm currently trying to figure out where exactly the NullPointerException is happening but right now this proves to be quite difficult. Debugging a BlackBerry PhoneGap is as difficult and maddening as invoking an elder being.

Same problem here!
I get this error when loading a google map and markers are put in the map during compile time. It seems to be always happening after a few seconds after the page opens in called browser. I've rewrote for different versions of phonegap (1.6, 1.8, 2.0,2.2) and same result for blackberry situation. External browser doesn't crash so it is something about phonegap for blackberry.http://www.sencha.com/forum/images/smilies/17.gif Anyone found a way around this? everything is running as expected for Andriod and iOS with same html page.Any workarounds appreciated!

Design Story
In the early 1940s, when Charles Eames was working on MGM set designs, he would return to the small apartment where he and his wife, Ray, were experimenting with wood-molding techniques that would have profound effects on the design world.
Their discoveries led to a commission from the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells molded under heat and pressure.
After World War II, they adapted the technology to create inexpensive, high-quality chairs that could be mass-produced. The process eliminated the extraneous wood needed to connect the seat with the back, which reduced the weight and visual profile of the chair and established a basis for modern furniture design. The chair is in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Comments about Herman Miller Eames Plywood Lounge Chair, Upholstered:
This chair is the last piece we needed to complete a small room which we wanted to keep light and airy but still offer full comfortable seating. We love that this chair is small in scale with big comfort - it's even more comfortable for long seated reading sessions than the leather sofa it's been paired with because it supports the lumbar like a car racing seat! And its lack of bulk doesn't obstruct the light or view from the wall of windows it's in front of. The design is perfect for the space.

How Much Of A Yankee Killer Was Frank Lary?
Let's start with strikeout-to-walk ratio. In those years, Lary's was 1.62 against non-Yankee teams (I included HBP and took out IBBs-all data from Retrosheet). Against NY, it was 1.71. That may seem consistent with the "Yankee Killer" nick name, but over those years the Yankees themselves had a 1.43 ratio while the rest of the league had 1.32. So the typical pitcher had a strikeout-to-walk ratio that was .11 higher against the Yanks than everyone else. Lary was .09 better. So he was doing just about what other pitchers did.
Now HRs or HR rate (I use HRs divided by PAs with IBBs taken out). Lary allowed the Yanks a 2.6988% while he allowed the rest of the league 1.75%. So the Yanks did about 0.948 percentage points better against Lary than the average team from the rest of the AL. But that is just about normal. Over these years, the Yankees had a rate of 3.0097% while the rest of the league had a rate of 2.162%. The Yankees were about 0.848 percentage points better than the league average. So again, Lary's relative performance vs. NY is about what it was for other pitchers.
What about other hits? Lary's non-HR hit% against NY was .199 while against other teams it was .217. So that is a fairly big improvement. Some how he was better at preventing hits against the Yankees than he was against other teams. The Yankees themselves had a .205 rate while the rest of the league had .204. So the typical pitcher allowed more hits (but not alot more) to the Yankees than they normally did.
So it seems like the one thing that Lary was good at when he faced the Yankees was in preventing them from getting singles, doubles and triples. But the difference was only .018. Over, say, 36 PAs per game, that is just .648 hits. The run value of those hits is about .55 (the weighted average of the linear weights values that Pete Palmer established). So that makes a run value of .36 (interesting that that is just about the difference between his ERA against other teams and the one he had against the Yankees, 3.42 vs. 3.06).
The Tigers did score 4.93 runs per game in his starts against the Yankees from 1955-61. They averaged 4.61 runs per game overall. So the hitters rose to the occassion to support him. And maybe the fielders played a role in lowering the rate of non-HR hits he allowed. So it is possible that Lary became the "Yankee Killer" due to the aid of his teammates.

Interesting. From the fact that the Tigers scored more when he was pitching raises the question of whether or not he was facing the best Yankee pitchers? From a quick glance, it seems he faced the third or forth best starter in the games he won. Could this help account for his success?

Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Good point. That is something I wondered about. Here is what I came up with for number of starts by the Yankees
Byrne 3
Ditmar 5
Duren 1
Ford 6
Grba 2
Grim 1
Kucks 3
Larsen 1
Maas 1
Maglie 1
McDermott 1
Monroe 1
R. Coleman 1
Shantz 1
Short 1
Terry 5
Turley 8
Turley, Ford and Terry seem a little low. None of them made even 20% of the starts

I found the overall ERA of all Yankee starters during these years. It was 3.39. I found every pitcher who had 1 or more start then calculated a weighted average of their ERAs (using the total ERA of each guy, not just when they started). Then I found the weighted average of the ERAs of the guys who started against Lary (weighted by number of games startred). That was 3.47. Not too much different.
Now that does not take into account how long they stayed in any games or what their ERAs were in the season in which they started against Lary. But my guess is that he faced a typical group of Yankee pitchers overall.
- January 2, 2011 at 10:16 AM
Thanks much for taking the time and in crunching the numbers.
My guess was that after the initial success he had against them, Casey just might have gone with his third orforth best starter or one of his many swingmen to face Lary and that persisted with Houk for most of the rest of his career.
With the exception of Ford, and a couple of good seasons from Turley and possibly Terry, he wasn't facing the best pitching opponent the Yankees had. This could also explain why the Tigers scored more than expected whenever he pitched.
There could be a great study to be made one day of just how much the competition and quality of the opposing pitchers added to or subtracted from the success or failure of some of the great or not so great pitchers and our perceptions of them.
It would be interesting to come up with some kind of metric that could take this into account and give us an even clearer image of every pitchers career and their true value.
Thanks again for taking the time and for the great work you're doing here and elsewhere.

- January 4, 2011 at 8:16 PM
Thank you for the research. Just as I supposed. After his initial success against them, with few exceptions, they paired him up for the most part with less than front end of the rotation pitchers. By my own subjective count, of his 42 starts in this period, twelve came against pitchers who were having good years or who could be considered a number one or two starter. This alone should not only have given him the extra edge in those games, but in all likelihood would explain the exceptionally good results he attained.
Add to that, if we checked further, we'd probably find out that the relievers used in those games were the bottom end guys in the bullpen.
Thanks again.

Perceptions count for a lot in baseball, and they often die hard.
Some beat writer probably came up with the "Yankee Killer" tag one day early in Lary's career, and the tag just stuck, as tags so often do in baseball.
Be that as it may, most players, pitchers included, can point to opponents they do especially well against, for whatever reason.
I've always suspected that one explanation for this is simply that those opponents happened to come up in the schedule at a time when the player was going well. Or when the opponent was going bad.
Baseball is a game of up-and-down periods. Except for a few extraordinarily consistent players (and teams), performance varies widely from week to week and month to month during the course of a season. If a particular opponent happens to face you at a time when you're going well, then obviously your stats against that opponent will vary in accordance.
I guess what I'm saying is that simple randomness is an extremely powerful "force" in baseball, and rarely given its due by writers.
Perhaps another interesting study: what was the Yankees' W-L record in the week prior to each time they faced Lary, and is there statistical significance to their record against him during those times as opposed to everyone else?
- July 24, 2012 at 3:53 AM
- Cyril Morong said...
Thanks for dropping by and commenting. You raise some interesting points and that might be an interesting study, although alot of researchers don't believe in the idea of a "hot hand" so it might not matter if the Yankees were going well or not right before they faced Lary.
- July 24, 2012 at 5:48 AM
To me, a winning percentage of over 2 victories for 1 defeat against the 1955-61 Yankees is enough to earn the moniker. He earned it.
- August 14, 2012 at 5:47 PM
- Cyril Morong said...
edru, you seem to be saying that all you need to know about a pitcher is his won-loss record. I don't think any serious baseball analyst believes that anymore. If he earned the moniker, how did he earn it? Was it giving up fewer hits than might have been expectd, fewer walks, fewer HRs, more strikeouts? It does not look like it.

I think we might be seeing the forest but ignoring the trees here.. I think it probably all comes down to when he was tagged with the nickname. Just taking a quick look at his splits, he went 7-1 with an ERA of 1.86 against the 1958 Yankees, the eventual world champs. He held them to a .204 average, 65 points below their season average... and threw two complete game shutouts as well. That's the kind of season that can earn you a nickname.
- September 8, 2012 at 6:39 PM
- Cyril Morong said...
Thanks for dropping by and commenting. What you say is true, but that season represents less than 20% of his career innings against the Yankees
- September 8, 2012 at 7:30 PM

The guy had a 3.06 ERA against what was by far the best team in baseball during that era. What was the rest of the league's ERA against the Yankees from 1955 to 1961? Without having the numbers in front of me, I'd be willing to bet it was probably around 4.50, maybe a little higher. Most of those years, the Yankees were averaging about five runs per game.
Lary was pitching a run and a half better than the league against the Yankees, and he had a good team behind him. And that's why he went 27-10.
- October 25, 2012 at 10:27 PM
- Cyril Morong said...
But you are not looking at my analysis. How did he get that lower ERA? It wasn't through preventing more HRs or a lower SO/BB ratio. It was a lower average on balls in play. So that means his defense played great behind him. It might not have been anything he did.
- October 26, 2012 at 8:19 AM
In an interview with Casy Stengel about his pitching choice against Frank Lary, Casey was quoted as saying that he did not want to waste his best pitcher [presumably Whitey Ford]. So, here's a case for perception by the opposing manager and not just Tiger fans.
- November 12, 2012 at 12:23 PM
- Cyril Morong said...
Thanks for dropping by and supplying that info. But again, what was it specifically that Lary did better against the Yankees? Was it striking batters out, not walking people, not allowing HRs?
- November 12, 2012 at 12:45 PM
I grew up in that period.What "nunyer" commented on for 1958 is probably the reason for the Yankee Killer label. I remember broadcasters and writers using that term for him. All of the analysis with numbers is over doing it.
- August 26, 2013 at 11:41 AM
- mingpooh said...
This is an old analysis, and the comments have been excruciating in their detail, but how about the most obvious questions: did any other pitcher have anywhere near this winning percentage against the Yankees during these years? Remember, the Yanks made the WS 6 times during this periods, so it wasn't like Lary was pitching against the St Louis Browns. And even if Stengel could have managed to manipulate his pitching rotation and match up his lesser pitchers against Lary, it wasn't a second string lineup which was batting for the Yanks. Don't over think this. During those years, for whatever reason, Lary just had their number
- July 12, 2014 at 4:17 PM
- Cyril Morong said...
Can you explain why any part of my analysis is wrong?
- July 12, 2014 at 6:02 PM
With a 'no comment' to preclude your need to validate your analysis--
I believe the difference with Lary vs any mathematic aspect was that he simply made clutch pitches when he had to-- in clutch situations.

You can tear it into as many pieces as you like-- but it comes down to what outcome occurs on any given pitch-- and the game situation of that pitch.

In the early days of World War II, a young Marine named Charles Fenn was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) for undercover operations in the China-Burma-India theater. Fenn had been a foreign correspondent in Asia, and Wild Bill Donovan's new outfit wanted a man there who already knew the lay of the land. Fenn turned out to be a good choice and a remarkable spy. He knew exactly what it took to get the job done, blowing up a bridge carrying Japanese troops across the Yalu, manning secret radio stations in Chinese convents, demoralizing Japanese morale, rescuing airmen from Japanese prisons, and getting to know an up-and-coming Vietnamese leader named Ho Chi Minh.
Fenn's wartime exploits are the stuff of legends, but not even his OSS compatriots knew the full extent of espionage activities. Fortunately, Fenn's skill as a spy is matched by his talent as a storyteller, and this witty, elegantly written account of his OSS days not only adds to the historical record but makes for an entertaining read. Added benefits are his descriptions of Chinese culture and lifestyle and his understanding of the motivations of Ho and the Vietminh. A wide variety of readers will be drawn to this extraordinary work.
Charles Fenn covered the Far East for Life magazine before the war. After the war he moved to London and became a playwright and nonfiction writer.

Holy Church
Pope Francis devoted his catechesis today to the holiness of the Church. His insistence that the primary meaning of the Creed's statement that the Church is holy is that she is the creature and the recipient of God's holy grace and gifts is well founded in the New Testament. This is a holiness that may and even must be acknowledged by those who constitute the Church on earth, not one of whom is not a sinner. As Augustine said somewhere, it is holy Church that prays every day: "Forgive us our trespasses."
I note that the Pope did not make use of the view that has recently threatened to become canonical: that the Church is without sin but not without sinners. This formulation came from the Swiss theologian Charles Journet, but he, along with his close friend Jacques Maritain, defended the view that the Church has a "subsistence" of its own that is not reducible to the subsistences of its members, that it is itself a "person" not reducible to the persons of its members. It is that supra-personal Church of which holiness is predicated. Journet did not, of course, deny that the Church was composed of sinners nor that among the worst of them were high ecclesiastical personages, but he did not think that their sins could be attributed to the Church which he identified instead with the gifts of God and their holy effects in the Church's members. Yves Congar thought that this reified the formal element of the Church.
Augustine and Aquinas thought differently. Identifying the Church on earth with its members, all of whom are sinners and must plead everyday for the Lord to forgive them their trespasses, they said that the Church would be "without stain or wrinkle" only in the Kingdom. Here is the neat short explanation in St. Thomas Aquinas's commentary on the article of the Creed:
With regard to holiness: it can be noted that Scripture speaks of another assembly, that of evildoers: "I hate the assembly of evildoers [ecclesiam malignantium] (Ps 26:5). That assembly is evil, but the Church of Christ is holy. As the Apostle says, "God's temple is holy, and you are that temple" (1 Cor 3:17). The faithful of this assembly are made holy in three ways. First, just as a church is materially washed when it is being consecrated, so also the faithful are washed in the blood of Christ: "He loves us and has washed us from our sins by his blood" (Rev 1:5). "Jesus suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood" (Hb 13:12). Secondly, just as a church is anointed, so also the faithful receive a spiritual anointing which makes them holy; otherwise they would not be Christians, for "Christ" means "anointed." This anointing is the grace of the Holy Spirit: "God has anointed us" (2 Cor 1:21). "You were made holy in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor 6:11). The third way in which the faithful are made holy is by the indwelling of the Trinity, for any place where God dwells is a holy place: "This place is holy" (Gen 28:16). "Holiness befits your house, O Lord" (Ps 93:5). There is also a fourth way in which the faithful become holy: they are called by God's name. "You, O Lord, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name" (Jer 14:9).
After being made holy in such ways, then, we must beware not by sin to desecrate the temple of God which is our souls: "If anyone violates God's temple, God will destroy him" (1 Cor 3:17).
In a gloss on the first of the reasons Aquinas gives for the holiness of the Church, Journet makes him say that it is the Church who "washes the faithful in the blood of Christ," which (1) distinguishes the Church from the faithful and (2) ignores that Aquinas here was speaking of the Church–that is, the assembly of believers–having been washed in the blood of Christ's sacrifice itself, not in its sacramental re-enactment.

The most interminable online argument I've ever witnessed was on the proposition (and subject line), "The church sins". It went on for years, and as is typical in online exchanges, neither of the two chief antagonists ever succeeded in moving his opposite number so much as an inch from the entrenched position. One point of view was that, manifestly, the church sins, as every member is a sinner, and besides, some ghastly sins have been committed by church officials in the name of the church. The opposing point of view is that Christ is the head of the body, and to state that the church sins is, ipso facto to state that Christ is tainted by sin, which seems heretical (or something similar).
I expect that this Body of Christ paradigm is at the root of the ambiguity. What is the precise relationship between Christ, the church and its members? What does it mean to say that we are all members of the same body, with Jesus as our head? What happens to our identity and autonomy when we join ourselves to Christ?
I note that, in the quote provided, Aquinas is careful to refer to the faithful rather than the church, implying that they are not identical.
Jim P.
How does the distinction between the Church and the faithful change when the Church is defined as The People of God. Can we any longer maintain that distinction" Isn't this dichotomy at at the root of the problem of clerical abuse and the inability of the Church to deal with it? The real Church transcends its members so what they do cannot taint the Church. If that were true why all the cover-up.? At some level the hierarchy has admitted that the Church sins and they tried to hide it.
I don't see where in the excerpt given Aquinas distinguishes the Church from the faithful. His whole argument here, as in the whole section of his commentary on the article of the Creed dealing with the Church, depends on his taking "Church" to mean "the assembly of the faithful." The Church is holy because its members have been made holy in the four ways mentioned. There is no treatment of an alleged "holy Church" distinct from the believers who constitute it. That is why Aquinas can agree with Augustine that there will be a sinless Church only as the assembly, not of believers, but of gazers, in the Kingdom of God.
The Church transcends any single member of the Church but not the totality of its members. What would such a Church be? In whom would it exist? This is why I make so much of Augustine's comment that each of us, taken singly, is a child of Mother Church but all of us, taken together, are Mother Church. There is no other entity over and above us all that gives birth to us singly in Christ.
The question of collective guilt is a serious one, raised with regard to other social groups as well. One faculty member's sin, for example, does not of itself taint other members of the same faculty, but it would be enough to make it impossible to say that the faculty is without spot or wrinkle.
Thank you for your comment. I would have preferred to see a few more references especially regarding Yves Congar as the single sentence brushed a wide swath over hundreds of pieces of works, some of which evolved over the years.
Isn't this dichotomy at at the root of the problem of clerical abuse and the inability of the Church to deal with it? The real Church transcends its members so what they do cannot taint the Church. If that were true why all the cover-up.? At some level the hierarchy has admitted that the Church sins and they tried to hide it.
It's something I find it difficult to sort through. My own reaction to clerical abuse is that, while I and most others personally are blameless in these sins, yet because I belong to the church, the taint of it still somehow sticks to me, which makes me angry on my own behalf and on behalf of the church and its members whom I love. I would disagree that "the church sins" when clerical abuse happens. The church didn't abuse those children; individual clergy did, and what the hierarchs tried to hide were not the sins of the church but the sins of those individuals. Those sinful men are not identical with the church. That the abuse was done under the auspices of the church makes those sins perhaps even more heinous than they would be in another setting. And our connectedness to those sinful individuals is not nothing. If all that seems a bit muddled, I don't dispute it.
Fr. K - I took Aquinas' use of the term "the faithful" to equate to what used to be known as "the church militant".
@Jim P. "what the hierarchs tried to hide were not the sins of the church but the sins of those individuals.'
not agree....my take is that most heirarchs were trying to hide the idea that their Church was sinning..so when push came to shove they almost always threw the individual priest under the bus .This Church sinning is the point of this thread...
Journet's "church as a juridic person" is just a concept and should be scrapped. It is based on a problematic metaphysics.
The last time this topic came up on dotCommonweal, Cathleen Kaveny raised the question of whether a refusal to talk about the church as a sinner was bound up with resistence to structural reform. The question regards whether the church, in addition to being composed of sinners individually, enables certain sins as a community and thereby becomes a sinful social structure in history.
It would seem that Francis' condemnations of worldliness, careerism, and clericalism identify these as structural sins. Careerism only emerges in a situation that enables it. Further, his decision to convene a council of cardinals to discuss these problems treats them as distortions of ministry for which the church as a whole bears responsibility.
Speaking doctrinally, the church is an emergent reality. As such, in history it is always engaged in a struggle against unauthenticity. That struggle for authenticity is the work of the indwelling Trinity Thomas identifies. It would seem that Francis wants authenticity in the church, and authenticity requires conversion. If there is need for conversion, there is sin. We should neither posit our own holiness as a way of avoiding personal reform, nor posit holiness of the church in order to avoid structural reform. By his words and actions Francis seems to be aware of the inconstitency in certain ecclesiologies.
Ms. Reinhardt:
The comment of Congar on Journet's view--"But isn't this to reify a formal point of view?--appears in a fairly late work of his, L'Eglise: Une, sainte, catholique et apostolique (Paris: du Cerf, 1970) 136-37. See also, in the same volume, p. 259: "...unless we are to go off into idealism, we can't separate the institution from the people of believers". As I wrote some time ago: "The contrast between tortured modern approaches to the question of the holiness of the Church and the ease with which St. Thomas moved from the "Ecclesia" to the "we" of its members says a great deal about what has happened in ecclesiology: "That there be "a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle' is the final goal toward which we are led by the passion of Christ. It will be, therefore, when the homeland is reached but not in the course of our journey during which 'if we say that we do not have sin, we are deceiving ourselves' (I Jn 1:8);" Summa theologica, III, q. 8, a. 3, ad 2m.
Mr. Gleason: I don't agreee with your interpretation. There is no doubt that certain leaders of the Church sinned, and sinned grievously, and I think it is likely that the cover-ups were chosen in order to prevent the Church from being brought into disrepute, an implication made all the more likely when the Church is identified with the hierarchy. But if one does not make that identification, I do not know how one can say that it was the Church that committed the atrocities or tried to cover them up.
Mr. Mudd: Journet's point is not so much about the Church as a juridical person but as a mystical person.
I recall that earlier conversation, and I believe that Cathy Kaveny's point was effectively met. That the Church might at one point or another--and we certainly are at one of those points now--might need structural reform was once almost taken-for-granted--see the calls for "reform of the Church in head and members" of the medieval reform councils. This need, however, did not prevent reformers from confessing belief in the holy Church.
I agree entirely with you that the Church is an "emergent reality," and that it is also "engaged in a struggle against unauthenticity." I have spoken of it as an always precarious achievement. Hence the need, as you say, for conversion, and it is probably the case that the need for structural reform itself presupposes conversion. Certainly we would not want the new structures devised by the unconverted, would we?
I sometimes thnk that some people reify institutions or structures and think that they can be reformed without the conversion of the persons occupying offices and fulfilling roles in the institution. There can be formal changes, of course--new allocations of responsibilities and competencies--but one wants converted people deciding on them.
In that homily Pope Francis makes liberal use of the word "all":
"...the Church calls all to allow themselves to be enveloped by the mercy of the Father... the Church offers all the possibility of encountering him... The Lord wants us part of a Church that is able to open her arms to welcome all, which is not the house of a few, but the house of all, where all can be renewed by His love...The Church offers all the possibility of following the way of sanctity... the love of God towards all... Let us not lose hope in sanctity, let us all follow this way. Do we want to be saints? All? The Lord awaits all with open arms..."
It reminds me of the motto of my parish church in the US: "All are welcome", and of the words of consecration before Advent 2011: "This is the cup of my blood ... which will be shed for you and for all". Now it goes: "This is the chalice of my blood ... which will be poured out for you and for many." When I see the insistence of Pope Francis on the Church being the house of all, I wonder what he thinks of the new translation.
Re: JAK's commentary @ 8:41 pm:
"Thus I put up with this church, until I see a better one; and she is forced to put up with me, until I myself become better." Erasmus
Mr. Mudd --
Yes, thinking of the Church as some sort or "person" or "subsistance" is based on a bad metaphysics, and I think it's basically a Platonic one. Plato's metaphysic posits independent, susistent, perfect entities (the perfect "Forms") which lesser entities "participate" in, which imples that the lesser ones somehow share the reality which is that perfect Form, a sort of limited identification. When you add all the Catholics together they become the perfect Church "Form", only we ain't perfect. The whole theory is a mass of contradictions.
JIm P. --
Maybe you're trying to get more truth out of the metaphor "Body of Christ" than is there. It's ONLY a metaphor, and as such it's only *partly* true, and the rest of it's meaning is false when related to the Church. The more you take the metaphor literally the more often your conclusions will lead to contradictions.
And notice also that "the Church is our Mother" is also ONLY a metaphor. Don't push it too hard.
Doesn't every corporate body take on a life that is related but distinct from the members who form it? And in turn that supra-personal life forms the members of that corporation.
We are not just individuals sharing a common creed and experience, there is a trans-personal quality that reaches out and in turn creates and forms bonds which shape us.
I am thinking of marriage whereby the couple have their own kind of married life that shapes each of the partners as individuals. It is kind of a mysterious thing. We speak, for example of our "relationship". That thing, the "relationship" is the sum of our interaction but it is bigger and different than each. And "relationship" can feed or starve us or do all kinds of things. So when we say we are working on the "relationship", it is almost like we are working on this third thing that will feed us.
By analogy, so is the Church but by faith we believe that Christ is the other partner, we are the bride to his groom and the church is that "relationship". Sometimes the relationship isn't working on one side or the other and the parties need to move. Hence structural or systemic reform.
George D:
Your point is sometimes put this way: "The Church is more than the sum of its members." But (1) most often this "more" is not explained or even described; and (2) this is also true of any other organized social body, e.g., the Planning Board of the tiny village where I reside. The Board can legally do things that the individual members, qua individuals, cannot do, but the Board does not exist as an entity distinct from its members.
The key, as you say, is in the notion of relationships. Traditional metaphysics regarded a relation as an ens minimum, the slightest of beings and did not give it the attention it deserved. In addition, our latent materialism, which wants to confuse the real with the physical, the tangible, finds it hard to think of interpersonal relations as themselves real. My students used to be mystified when I asked them if President Obama was ontologically the President of the U.S.A.
The Church on earth exists, occurs, in the minds and hearts of Christian believers. Its ontological reality is subjective and intersubjective.
It's always been a mystery to me why the medievals didn't develop the concept of relation in more depth, given that many theologians including Aquinas described the three Persons of the Trinity as being three relations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the love between them).

Weirton panel looks at insurance
November 7, 2013
WEIRTON — The city's Finance Committee met Wednesday to discuss looming changes in insurance policies for 2014, among other matter....
Those crooks will never answer your questions RCC. if they told you the truth you'd run them out of town - ooops there leader was run out of town a couple of times already before the loons here decided he was best for our region, huh????

I see no response from the BDC on the basic questions posed - so in case you missed them. 1. When are your meetings? 2. Why don't you post them publicly, posting minutes, plans, votes, etc. being that you use MOSTLY tax dollars. 3. Where are these so called millions that were invested in Weirton? The Rue 21 development was the State of WV not BDC, so what major benefit has the BDC contributed? Dalrymple, who is usually wrong on everything, got it right on this on this one!

What a load of BS. Can anyone identify one job that was created by the BDC? When are your meetings? Why don't you post them public ally, being that you use tax dollars. Where are these millions that were invested in Weirton? Councilman Dalrympe just stated publically that he sees no benefit from the BDC. Everyone sees through your BS. Your group is just a cronie piggy bank.

And its interesting that this article is in the Steubenville paper, not Weirton's paper. Cant have the Weirton Citizens knowing where they money is being spent so give it to the BDC - a fully secret black hole, and then run any related article discussions in an OHIO paper so no one in Weirton will know.

Given: $\phi(s) = \sum_p \frac{\log p}{p^s}$
(summation is only over primes)
Why is: $\lim_{e \rightarrow 0} e \phi(1+e)$ = 1 ?
Context: http://mathdl.maa.org/images/upload_library/22/Chauvenet/Zagier.pdf
Section IV, Page 706
Some silly analysis by me:
So here's my dumb approach, which fails:
If we want $\lim_{e \rightarrow 0} e f(e)$ =1, a nice way would be $f(e) = 1/e$.
A way towards that would be:
$\int_1^\infty e^{-st} dt = 1/s$.
This is where I get stuck, since I want to do:
$\sum_p \frac{\log p}{p^s} \leq \int_{x=1}^\infty \frac{\log x}{x^s} dx$ ... but not wure where to go from here.
EDIT: Resolved.

The film had its world premiere at the 2005 Toronto Film Festival, where it was acquired by Fox Searchlight. The film went on to earn a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture, an Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay, and a WGA nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2006, Reitman was named Best Debut Director by the National Board of Review.
In December 2007, Fox Searchlight released Reitman's second feature, Juno, which follows the story of a pregnant teenager. Juno earned widespread praise since its debut at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival, and has grossed over $230m worldwide.
Reitman was nominated for an Academy Award for directing Juno. The film earned one win for Diablo Cody's screenplay and additional nominations for Best Picture and Best Actress (Ellen Page). Juno won three Independent Spirit awards and a Grammy Award.
Reitman's latest film is Up in the Air, which was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film, which Reitman both wrote and directed, stars George Clooney and Vera Farmiga. The screenplay won the Golden Globe for best screenplay.

We could be in for a long summer. I have had the AC on for several weeks now. With the summer looking to be a warm one, using ceiling fans can help keep you cool.
Installing ceiling fans is a familiar recommendation when it comes to cooling a home or other room, but the fans, themselves, are not cooling units. In moving the air, the fans produce a cooling effect that can reduce reliance on an air conditioning unit and yield a savings on overall utility costs.
Use the fans while rooms are occupied, but turning them off when the rooms are unoccupied for additional savings on utility bills.
Reading the instructions for ceiling and other fans to adjust airflow is recommended.
Depending on how the blades are moving will determine if you feel a down draft of cool air.
More energy efficient tips in cooling a home are available at K-State Research and Extension offices throughout the state and online, at the Extension engineering website: http://www.engext.ksu.edu/home.asp .

I saw a recipe that called for brining a Turkey in order to retain the moisture, but when you cook with salt it causes the foods to get less moist - Why and how does this happen?
For the brine, it's because of osmosis When you have a semi-permeable membrane, like a cucumber skin, water will tend to move from the
When you add solid salt to an item, steak for example, Osmosis is no longer at work. Instead, you're dealing with absorption , a completely different chemical process.
Actually, osmosis would work exactly the opposite way of how Mike Sherov suggests: it would draw water out of the cucumber (or the turkey) and into the brine. (Close reading of the Wikipedia article bears this out.)
(Sorry for posting this as an answer - apparently I can't reply to Mike's answer directly, yet. I don't know the actual answer.)
Your assertion that "when you cook with salt it causes the foods to get less moist" is a myth. Both brining and salting increase the moistness and flavor of meat.
"...even if there is no surrounding water to draw in, proteins are modified by the {salt} ions in ways that cause them to bind the water in the flesh more tightly -- as well as to resist the shrinking of muscle fibers that squeezes juices out during cooking. The flesh continues to swell and bind water more tightly until its salinity increases to 6%, and then it shrinks and begins to lose water." Modernist Cuisine, Volume 3, Page 154
Numerous recipes and articles from America's Test Kitchen have also demonstrated this principle as well. "Dry salting" may take more time to accomplish the same feat because water must first diffuse out of the meat to dissolve the salt before it can begin the absorption process.
Salting above a 6% salinity will draw out moisture, but meat is unpalatably salty around 1% salt by weight.
A thorough explanation with slideshows is available at:
what mike says is correct. This process can be used to make meat more tender, if you put meat in saltwater for some hours it will absorb about 10% of its weight in water. So if you put a 100gr piece of meat in saltwater it will absorb about 10g of water. It will leave the meat salty, but more tender. Removing salt from the other components of the dish will hopefully balance things out.

Cured from Cancer?
OncoLink Team
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 7, 2013
At what point is someone considered cured from cancer?
AnswerKeith Cengel, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
That depends on the cancer. Typically, we have used 5 years for cancers of the lung or head and neck, but this is somewhat arbitrary. Other cancers, like breast cancer or certain lymphomas, have a pattern of recurrence that may extend for more than 20 years. For mesothelioma, this question is more difficult. The overwhelming majority of patients will eventually experience recurrence, so as an oncologist I remain vigilant for any signs, symptoms or radiographic evidence of the cancer returning. However, from the patient's perspective, I think the best outlook is that once you are disease free, maintain follow-up with your oncologist but mentally consider yourself cured until told otherwise and live your life to the fullest extent.

Is Javascript Necesarry for simple animations ?
I have made a small animation (like a continuously bouncing ball). It should not need any Javascript to work. But when I remove the JS controller the image does not even display.
21 Aug 2013 4:57 AM #2
Hi MosephJoe,
Animator exports include a lightweight JS for switching between scenes and timelines, and handling any interaction that you might have added to your animation. The JS controller triggers the animation by setting which scene should run at the beginning, so if you remove it, no scene will be run - this is why you animation appears not to be working after manually removing the controller.
If you only need CSS keyframe description, you can open the HTML file after export and locate @keyframes CSS line. To make it easier to spot, you can give the object in question (in your example the bouncing ball) an easy to identify ID under base-object->general->id.

JS is really fit for simple animation in fact i already seen some animation stuff using JS.

I made tea with milk in the morning and had it in the evening. Is it is safe? After how much time, does it become unconsumable?
Probably not. Perishable food and drinks are considered unsafe after being in the danger zone (40°F - 140°F, 5°C - 60°C) for more than 4 hours (EDIT: when I was a cook in Massachusetts, four hours was the cut off. Apparently the USDA recommends two hours). And note: that's a cumulative four hours over the course of the foodstuff's lifetime, not four hours in a row. If the milk sits on the counter for an hour, then it's boiled and put into tea which then sits out for three hours, it's considered unsafe.
Also crucial to remember when food safety is concerned: FAT TOM. FAT TOM is a mnemonic device which stands for:
All of those things are a factor in the growth of bacteria. With room-temperature milky tea that's been sitting out all day, we've got the full gamut:
Remember: When in doubt, throw it out.

Saccoccia a good role model
December 30, 2012
To the editor: With all the conversation going on about the current high-profile case in Steubenville, there have been many accusations made....
such a good role model he threatens a NYT reporter..
11 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I am not inclined to argue that he is a good role model etc... I am inclined to believe that perhaps on this occasion he has ignored evidence and allegations concerning many members of school teams. In this circumstance alone it appears he has failed to adhere to the tolerance and sports policy the school has adopted - stating individuals engaged in illegal activities etc will be suspended from participating - stating he had no evidence to suggest any students needed disciplinary action. Seems he either chose not to look, looked the other way, or is intentionally disregarding policy... Further more- it has been stated by students of the school that athletes are entitled to privileges regular students are not - ie athletes take tests in separate rooms than the class and in some instances alleged other students completing assignments for athletes for pay... This information alone forces me to believe perhaps a 2nd look should be taken at the program as a whole. Parent of 2.
11 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Awol, a 2nd look is indeed needed. Which will no doubt show the allegations to be unfounded.
Mofo - While you read two lines that may have been misquoted and embellished for the purpose of sensationalism we actually see a life-long body of work that stands high above any accusations that you can make in 1 minute or less.

I guess if your creed is winning over everything and enabling football players to get away with anything Saccoccia is your guy. He is probably worse than Joe Paterno.
7 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I do not know the man. However, it has been said that you can know what a person is like by his words and deeds. A "good" role model would have forefeited the rest of the season out of respect for the victim. A good role model would have influenced his players, imprinting upon the idea that rape is wrong.
8 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The coaches of Big Red prior to Reno would NOT have put up with anyone embarrassing the school. PERIOD!
The prior coach to Saccoccia was Bob Hedmond. Now there was class and a molder of young men through ethics & morality. Another coach, was Punct Cartledge who had the toughesy football schedule in Big Red history and coched with an iron fist and integrity. Coach Bryant as well was known to put academia first and mentored many troubled youth towards a good productive citizenship in life.
Then there's Reno. His tenured has developed many players into career crimninals and many now residing in Union & Mount Cavalry cemeteries way to early. Every year we see repeated scandals from Bog Red football players and alums bringing shame and reinforcing the stereotype of corruption in Steubenville city schools to the political arena.
No, Reno has brought shame and the world sees Steubenville as RapeRedRape!

James - Thank you for the broad generalities. Can you sight some of these shaming scandles that happen EVERY year? Can you give me a number of how many ex-players have passed too early and become career criminals? And (I like how you somehow link that to Reno). Are you saying that Reno has had NO positive impact like the past coaches you mention? I think the author was correct - you know nothing but what you have read in the last few weeks.

RPG - "A good role model would have influenced his players, imprinting upon the idea that rape is wrong"
Are you really saying that one person is accountable for the actions of 70 teens at any given point? There are plenty of players that weren't involved in any way and will never rape/take advantage of anyone. The poor actions (and in this case also in-actions) can not fall on another man's character.
1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Jump, I am saying that if half the football team got pictures and heard of the incident yet not one called the cops is disgusting. What do all of those folks have in common? Am I blaming the coach? Nope. However, I hope that a coach would be the type of person to influence his players in a positive manner. In this case I'm afraid that those young people are "morally bankrupt."
8 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Knew Reno as a student and coach. He was good enough to me personally, but was at a Big Red v Watterson game with my son, where we were close enough to hear his pre-2nd half speech. Gathering the players near a fence - where young children were playing, just outside the West end zone - Coach Soccoccia embarked on a "pep talk" that was laced with so much profanity (mostly "F bombs"), that my son would never again like Big Red football. This episode led me to talk with many ex players and students, many of whom described a man who conducted himself more on the level of street punk, than respectful, responsible adult. That said, this Toronto Sec Knight thing is a farce. They have threatened students, censored their FB event page of any opposing opinion, spread rumors and lies about the city and the rape case, given out personal information ("dox") of those who dare oppose them, hacked a web site that has nothing to do with this, and harassed alumni with hund

**hundreds of menacing phone calls. This group used a slanted NY Times article (by a reporter whom Reno threatened) to involve an free-lance occupy reporter from Pittsurgh, and rile up those around the city who have always been resentful of our schools and teams. They use a poor victim to promote their thinly masked hate and intimidation. They are NOT anonymous and WILL be exposed!

Decay, News 9 erased comments because the Toronto Sec Knights were posting personal info of anyone who dared disagree with them. They have reduced anonymous to a mere intolerant, criminal element of society at this point. They censor their own events page on FB and are the epitome of the hypocrite.

Come clean.....everybody; pay the Piper. It's time.
I am not a local, but evrytime I hear the story retold in my community, it gets uglier.
You you all need a "pep rally" for truth and justice. Get go to the stadium, some logs, light a fire,bring out the band and as you dance around the flames: get this case moving.

You people are living in a world few people recognize. A teenage girl is raped, the coach of the players who have done it ignore it, and you can't do anything in your town but applaud the coach.
I'm a football fan and athlete and I am ashamed to even associate myself with the cowards at Steubenville High School.
All you do is complain about what "outside" people have done. But you have done NOTHING, so thank God there are people outside your twisted little town to actually help seek justice.
You are cowards. The coach is a coward for doing nothing. Fire all of them and if you don't like that crawl back into your cave.

jacktripper -- you define the word caveman. You are a king sized, creep with nothing to offer but pathetic excuses for the losers and cowards in your town. I'll bet you'll be in church on Sunday, though. Listening to the sermon and thinking you are a Christian. You are not. You are a coward.

Wanted to Know...Yes everyone in Steubenville is a "coward." Says the man named "wantedtoknow."
As you continue to make claims all over this site with NO knowledge of anything about this case other than rumors you have read about, please note that your opinion is of little importance. You say that the coach and players involved ignored it, yet 2 people were arrested 8 days after the compliant. On another artcle you claimed to have knowldge of who was making death threats, in fact you blatently stated who they were. You say "all you do is complain..." yet you can't point to one person on here who has done that. So we see that you are of little imporantce b/c all you do is mouth spout ignorant comments. You have proved how little you know every time you type. So while you ask that we crawl back into our cave and question people's faith that they never even mentioned, I ask that you let grownups have a conversation b/c you are a mere child that has no clue

Saccoccia and the assistant coaches involved on the night of the assault should be fired.
Here is an example of how a school, with a championship team, should react when students commit assault and their teammates AND COACHES don't assist a victim or choose to turn a blind eye:
"Hamline University men's basketball coach Nelson Whitmore has been indefinitely suspended and 14 players face discipline in connection with an player-on-woman assault that allegedly took place in a Spokane, Washington hotel room on New Year's Eve."
One player punched a woman fracturing her face in 3 places and 14 players either saw her attack or saw her unconscious or refused to help. I am sure these University students learned their lesson and will be stronger adults in the future. We can't say the same for our boys in Steubenville.

Clinical Studies and Randomized Controlled Trials in Chinese Herbal Medicine: A Historical and Contemporary Review - Part Two
by Zhaoxiang Bian and David Moher
Quality Control of Chinese Herbal Medicine
One of the basic requirements of RCTs is to standardize every element of the intervention, with a view to ensuring that every subject in a trial receives the intervention with the same quality and quantity, therefore preventing bias in the evaluation of its efficacy and safety. While it is difficult, if not impossible, for us to trace how quality control was conducted in ancient clinical studies, the situation in current clinical studies in the form of RCTs is not reassuring. Results from our previous study showed that only one trial mentioned quality control of herbs in 167 RCTs.

The word silueta comes from a fellow named Étienne de Silhouette, whose surname comes from the Basque zuloeta, which is related to the zulo mentioned by Mikmik in a previous response.
