The notion of a Grothendieck fibration in the 2-category $CAT$ of small categories, can be written down to make sense for any 2-category, and such a morphism in a 2-category is called a fibration:
Now, in the case of $CAT$, consider a category $C$, then I believe that the 2-category of Grothendieck fibrations over $C$ is a (non-full) coreflective 2-subcategory of the slice 2-category $CAT/C$ (where morphisms from $D \stackrel{f}{\rightarrow}C$ to $D' \stackrel{g}{\rightarrow}C$ are pairs $(h,\alpha)$, such that $\alpha:gh \Rightarrow f$). At least, this seems to be true if $C$ is a groupoid.
My argument is to describe explicitly the right-adjoint which sends a functor $f:D \to C$ to the Grothendieck construction of the presheaf of categories $c \mapsto Hom_{Cat/C}\left(C/c\stackrel{}{\searrow}C,D\stackrel{f}{\searrow}C\right).$
If this doesn't work in general, it should at least if $C$ is a groupoid.
Now, let $E$ be a 2-category (if need be, we can assume its a (2,1)-category). Is is true that for every $e$ in $E$, that the 2-category of fibrations over $e$ is coreflective in $E/e$?
P.S. If this is not true in general, when is it true?

Why is the moment of inertia (wrt. the center) for a hollow sphere higher than a solid sphere (with same radius and mass)? I have completely no idea and I am inquiring about this as it is an interesting question that popped in my head while doing physics homework.
Why is the moment of inertia (wrt. the center) for a hollow sphere higher than a solid sphere (with same radius and mass)?
The key is... the closer the mass to the axis of rotation, the easier it is to add angular velocity to the body.
For instance a figure skater rotates faster when she puts her limbs closer to her body.
Let's see how it works in a more intuitive fashion:
For instance, in the figure bellow, trying to lift up table (A) would be easier than table (B).
In both cases the mass of each individual box is the same, but in (A) you have a better lever because of the distance from the border where the force is being applied, to each box.
Therefore, table (B) would be harder to lift up, even when R (length of the table) and M (total mass of the four boxes) are the same.
Now let's see how it works in the case with the spheres:
Both spheres, the solid and hollow one, rotate around their center of mass in the same way that the table rotates around the legs at the opposite side to where the force is being applied.
To make sense of step 2, where the mass of the all pieces is collapsed, think on a Merry-Go-Round where all the kids move to one side keeping their distance to the axis of rotation fixed.
A hollow sphere will have a much larger moment of inertia than a uniform sphere of the same size and the same mass.
If this seems counterintuitive, you probably carry a mental image of creating the hollow sphere by removing internal mass from the uniform sphere. This is an incorrect image, as such a process would create a hollow sphere of much lighter mass than the uniform sphere. The correct mental model corresponds to moving internal mass to the surface of the sphere.
Here's an illustration of a uniform sphere and a hollow sphere mid-sections with the same mass, if you better understand these things visually:
The moment of inertia of a body about an axis is a measure of how far the mass is distributed from that point. For a solid sphere of mass $m$, radius $r$, you have the mass distributed continuously from the center to the radius. However, for a hollow sphere of mass $m$, inner radius $r_i$ and outer radius the same as before, $r$, you have all the mass slightly farther from the center.
Since the entire mass is farther from the center, it is harder to change its angular momentum, and its moment of inertia is larger
The question is not why - that is misleading. It is when as under certain conditions only is this true. The moment of inertia is proportional to the mass and distribution of that mass about the axis.
Because perpendicular force x radius is a measure of angular momentum, and all the AM of different point masses added up to give the total effective AM.
So the larger the radius of the masses the better, in this case we can arrange all of them to reside as point masses at the edge of the circle (because rotation is the motion of action).
If you consider the sphere as two hemispheres, then the centre of gravity of each is 3/8r from the centre. (http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/mechanical-engineering/9789332503489/6-centroid-and-moment-of-inertia/chap6_sub14_xhtml) The hollow sphere, when considered as two thin shelled hollow hemispheres has a c. of g. at r/2 from the centre. http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/mechanical-engineering/9789332503489/6-centroid-and-moment-of-inertia/chap6_sub15_xhtml Hence if they are the same size and mass (and therefore a more dense material for the hollow body), the hollow hemispheres have their effective mass further from the fulcrum.
The moment of inertia of a hollow sphere would be higher than a solid sphere of equal radius, only if the unmentioned assumption (same mass) is true! This is typically untrue, because of another assumption, that the hollow and solid spheres (of equal radius) are made of the same density material.
If they are made of the same density material, there is no way that the hollow sphere will have the same mass as the solid one (less volume). If the spheres are made from the same density material, the solid one will have the higher moment of inertia, because of its larger mass.

Let us hope, that they manage to avoid another Tchernobyl and they will not face a bigger atom disaster because of the damages.
I hope, this will lead to new discussions and solutions for much better prevention or as the golden goal to shut down all atom sites. I know this is a great dream.

Kirov Ballet at City Center, New YorkApril 1-20, 2008
Posted 19 April 2007 - 03:47 PM
Great intentions. It'll be interesting to see next April how the programs match what they are showing now.
A year is a long time in advance to put out a schedule.
Posted 19 April 2007 - 04:38 PM
Point 1: Most of what will be on stage will be blocked from view. See recent venues discussion, not to mention the leaners problem. Unless you are in the (W)NBA, I hope you can get Grand Tier, Row A, 3 digits. But definitely not row B.
Point 2: Some of what is promised will not fit on that stage. I would assume that at some point the Mariinsky will learn the stage dimensions.
Posted 19 April 2007 - 04:43 PM
I won't assume anything -- at least ahead of time, but a reduced Shades corps of 24 should be okay. Balanchine's Theme & Variations, with its 24 corps & demis combined, plus two principals, premiered on that stage, and ABT has performed it recently there.
Some of what is promised will not fit on that stage. I would assume that at some point the Mariinsky will learn the stage dimensions.
There is the additional matter of no wing space, which I hope comes as no surprise by the time the company arrives on 55th St.

Given the dearth of Good Seats in City Center, I would recommend buying at the soonest opportunity, not the second soonest.
Thanks, I agree, and had not immediately noticed that that will be all-Balanchine--should be stupendous, even in that theatre. Good Seats in City Center are definitely in dearth supply, as we all know...
I guess I'll try the phone first, and if I don't get through in five minutes, then do it online.
This is just plain thrilling, especially after I was recently lamenting not finding it practicable to travel to Russia (nor terribly wanting to) to see the Kirov. I hope the Royal will see fit to re-visit us too, even if we get the same sea-level arrangement (if it's good enough for the Kirov, it's good enough for me and anybody else, if I do say so myself).
Posted 20 April 2007 - 07:10 AM
Wow, great news!!! tempted to go and get tickets to EVERY performance ;-)) (will go bankrupt then). Is it common that tickets go on sale so long in advance? a year?
Spectacular news! It's nice that we know about this one full year in advance, so as to make appropriate vacation & lodging plans. Some of us may be 'camping out' in NYC for an extended period. )
... anyway, praying that I can stay in the USA next year... and if it happens - contact me if you need "the camp out" solutions ;-)) NY is such an expensive place for even camping out ;-))

Purchase done successfully over the City Center website. Nice Center Mezz seats for all of my choices. Now I need to hide the bill from my husband.... Awww, just kidding! He loves ballet, too!
Me too! Very fast and easy and I got decent seats. I bought three programs I wanted to see, maybe will pick up more later.
Posted 20 April 2007 - 07:54 AM
Posted 20 April 2007 - 08:20 AM
Got mine, too. I feel weird ordering tickets a year in advance.
Truly weird. One of the dates I bought was the closing performance, the matinee on April 20, 2008 and I thought, "that's exactly a year from today"
Oh well, nothing wrong with doing something different
Posted 20 April 2007 - 08:43 AM
Posted 20 April 2007 - 09:02 AM
And this is just me, but between the Kirov doing Balanchine at the tail end of the run and going to Paris/London for the programs from 4/20-24, I'm going to opt for Paris/London. It's not that I think the Kirov won't do Balanchine well; I just want to go to Paris
Posted 20 April 2007 - 09:18 AM
Posted 20 April 2007 - 10:04 AM
We can almost guess the casting.
The first night will undoubtedly include Lopatkina and Vishneva. I can easily see the following casting for the opening night:
Raymonda A3 - Lopatkina/Zelensky
Paquita - Vishneva/Kolb
Bayadere Shades - Pavlenko/Sarafanov (...they wouldn't dare cast Somova first night, would they?)
...or...it could be Lopatkina leading every ballet on opening night, as this program mirrors one of her 2005 galas, in which she led each of these ballets in a single night!
Other educated guesses:
* Dying Swan will flip-flop between Lopatkina and Pavlenko
* Ballet Imperial will be first-cast Lopatkina, with possibly Zelensky; Obraztsova as 2nd soloist (Lopatkina recently took on the leading role) Tereshkina/Korsuntsev are also very fine in this. Tkachenko also dances Ballet Imperial (I think), as well as having recently debuted Raymonda...perhaps we'll see her in Raymonda A3? Maybe-maybe, although my guess is that the Raymondas will most likely be, in this order: Lopatkina, Pavlenko, Tereshkina.
* Somova will surely be cast as Nikiya and in Etudes. Sarafanov is fantastic in the '2nd solo guy' role in Etudes...but, if so, expect to see Ilya Kuznetsov or some other tall guy perform the portions of the role that involve partnering the lady. [The Kirov is the only place where I've seen a '3rd solo man' in Etudes, employed just to do the lifting because one of the solo men is too slight.]
* Ayupova might make a 'cameo appearance' in Spectre de la Rose, if she comes. Korsakov and Kolb as the Rose.
* Scheherazade - let's brace ourselves for Farouk Ruzimatov as the Golden Slave; then again, he is ageless in this role, a true artist! IF Farouk dances Golden Slave, then perhaps we'll see his usual recent-partner as Zobeide -- Makhalina? Nioradze may also do a 'cameo' in the role, althoughher recent appearances at the Mariinsky are fewer than even those of Vishneva and Makhalina.
* Novikova/Sarafanov will undoubtedly be first-cast Don Q pdd
* Ekaterina Osmolkina has made a name for helself in Diana & Acteon at competitions and galas; expect to see her in this, perhaps with Shklyarov or Korsakov
* Rubies is Vishneva's signature role, although Novikova dances it regularly now. Fadeev is usual male lead. Golub used to also dance the lead but has, in fact, danced little of anything since the summer '06 Shostakovich fiascos (not her fault; just a coincidence); not sure if Golub has been injured or otherwise indisposed during the present season.
* Serenade - Gumerova & Ostreikovskaya are usually in the female lead casting for this; Dumchenko used to dance it beautifully but doesn't seem to be cast in it very often nowadays
* Chopiniana - Pavlenko! Pavlenko! Pavlenko! She is incomparable in the Prelude. Sukhorukova and Ostreikovskaya have also made names for themselves in this ballet, in recent years. Kolb is a recent-notable male lead. Shklyarov may have already debuted in the role? Sergeev almost surely will, too.
* in the Forsythes, we already know the 'regulars' - see recent Mariinsky Festival cast and/or DC casts, e.g., Andrei Ivanov in Approx Sonata; Pavlenko or Vishneva leading Steptext; Sarafanov/Fadeev as the men in Vertiginous Thrill; Pavlenko & Vishneva exchange the lead in 'Middle' with tall redheaded Kondaurova as the 2nd lead.
* Flora is Obraztsova. It would be great to see her dance the ballet with Fadeev, as they formed such a magical duo in 'Romeo & Juliet' at the Kennedy Centr, last January. Osmolkina also dances Flora. I wouldn't be surprised to also see Novikova in the mix among Floras, come 2008.
Prepare to see LOTS of Alexander Sergeev, who is being pushed mightily by the Kirov coaches nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised, come next April, to see him partnering Lopatkina in Bayadere! Shklyarov is a very wonderful young dancer who will undoubtedly also be featured heavily at City Center.
Perhaps by the time that 2008 rolls around, 2006 graduate Maria Chugai will be taken on tours. She's a real dazzler! The star of the '05 class, Daria Vasnetsova, should also be dabbling in featured roles by then.
THE ONE BUMMER with this programing: No full-evening-length ballet! Folks, this is a season of only 'one acters.' (Inevitable, given the limited wing space at the venue.) Well, at least we'll get the complete 'Bayadere' at the Kennedy Center a couple of months before this.
All in all, the tour is quite promising. What will be the actual casting, one year from now, is anyone's guess.
Posted 20 April 2007 - 11:26 AM
It is unheard of, except for the Kirov. The tickets for this summer's Ring Cycle by the Kirov Opera at the Met went on sale over a year ahead of time. Then this, with the ballet. I wonder if it is a matter of managing cash flow. Smart, when you have surefire hits such as the Ring and these wonderful programs.
Is it common that tickets go on sale so long in advance? a year?
I arrived at 55th St. at 10:20, expecting the box office to open at 11:00, but surprised to discover 1) it didn't open until noon, by which time, I was sure, my specific seats of choice would all be snatched up by phone and internet buyers; and 2) I was, in a historic moment, Number ONE! The second customer, a friend of friends, was number two, arriving ten minutes later. Number three arrived closer to 11:00, as I recall. Joining the line soon thereafter were a few BT-ers. Fortunately, we had beautiful weather to enjoy as we queued.
I bought tickets for myself and a friend, both of us to at least one of each program, all exactly as I requested. Now I just have to remember -- for a year -- where I've tucked my tickets for safekeeping.

I don't know a ton about the US court system, but i know enough to recognize that that article is pretty dumb; I certanly know enough about rhetoric to know that it's inflammatory.
Still, I get and appreciate the rage (just not how it wound up making a bad editorial).
The anti-Catholic character of the piece is explicit enough to make one stop and turn. I thought US News and World Report was sort of stodgy and boring - when I used to read it, its news roundup looked like it was typed on a typewriter, complete with underlines to highlight words and phrases.
In Googling "Jamie Stiehm" to find out more about the author, I ran across a response that characterizes the piece as the work of a "Know-Nothing". That's actually pretty apt.
I've cut back on The Daily Show (I promise), but was watching the other night when John Stewart went after the Little Sisters of the Poor, plaintiffs in the case for which Justice Sotomayor issued a stay. His spiel was ignorant about the issues involved though more anti-Nun than anti-Catholic, if that is possible.
There is no such thing as a 'Catholic judge. Just as there is no 'Catholic' way to cook a hamburger, I am hard pressed to tell you of a single opinion of mine that would have come out differently if I were not Catholic
Antonin Scalia
This doesn't surprise me. There was a time not so long ago that it was generally politically incorrect to criticize any religion, at least not publicly. But I fear that these uncertain times are leading many people to scary extremes, and political correctness is flowing out the window. What other sorts of extremists are emerging? Well, just this week I have seen someone claim to be a monarchist (yes, monarchist!!) and he claims that the position has more and more support, and, most appalling, I just read that Hitler's Mein Kampf is now a popular e-book.
How does one counter irrational beliefs held for emotional reasons?
But I must say that athe author makes a valid point about the number of Catholics on the Supreme Court. I don't object to lots of Catholics. What I object to is the lack of Protestants. There should also be a non-believer occasionally, especially since that segment has grown so large. Their interests need to be represented.
Maybe there are a lot of Catholic lawyers? The names on the ballots for judicial elections around here certainly suggest that is the case.
There used to be a Catholic way to cook a hamburger: never on Friday.
Ah, for the good old Catholic daze.
Religionists who make their voices so very public leave themselves open to public criticism.
It comes with freedom of speech ... a 2-way street.
Judging from the comments on the USNews site, the author is in a very small minority. She apparently already had a reputation as an anti-Catholic bigot. And what she describes as a war is really a ceasefire. If this case is decided by the full court, I have a hunch about which side Sotomayor will be on.
A total inflammatory article and is ludicrous because it places Sotomayor in the same place with the other reactionary Catholic justices.
The sad part about contraceptives is that few Catholics, including clergy, are against it. Most obnoxious is that the bishops and other unfeeling Catholics are making this a cause célèbre. This is one of the greatest blunders (HUmanae Vitae) in the history of the Vatican. Worse, this has caused untold suffering to so many women and families. Especially where Church officials have prevented women throughout the world from access to birth control. A terrible and astronomical injustice.
As for Scalia's comment that there is no such thing as a Catholic judge, I wonder why there is a blog titled Mirror of Justice, with a line under the title that reads, "A blog dedicated to the development of Catholic legal theory."
The article wasn't very good, but from what little I've read about Chief Justice John Roberts (and his wife, a member of Feminists For Life), I wouldn't be surprised if his decisions about women's reproductive rights were affected by his religious beliefs.
The article is offensive, I think Jim P. is right that "know nothing" pretty well describes it. The ironic part is that it is far from clear that Justice Sotomayor still self-identifies as Catholic. Not that it should matter. But judging by excerpts from her book, "My Beloved World", there wasn't a great deal of love lost between her and the Church, due to some pretty negative interactions with her family on the part of their parish priest. So it seems that if she were going to be influenced by religion on this matter, it would have gone the other way.
Ann Olivier's point is a good one. How did it happen that Jews and Catholics went from (in my memory) having a token representative on the Supreme Court to the point that there are now no representatives of the Protestant Establishment at all on it?
The column is pretty silly, all told. Its author is under the delusion that the Catholic linkages among the six Justices are stronger than the ideological divisions. Hasn't she studied the vote-breakdowns on the Court or read any of the decisions reached?
I don't disagree with diversity but I, as well as the US Constitution, think that religion needs to be self consciously excluded from consideration.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States
Nonetheless, in practice, American citizens do, often, consider these factors at least at a sub-conscious level. It is due to the intuition that religion does have at least some kind of impact. And, it is hard for us to shake that view.
It's my understanding that in the past Louisiana often had a justice on the U. S. Supreme Court because it was thought to be advantageous to have someone from the Roman law tradition out of which the natural law tradition developed. The Constitution was written by common law lawyers, but the natural law tradition is also part of it, especially through the influence of the Enlightenment thinkers (e.g., Jefferson) who emphasized some of the medieval notion of natural rights.
Maybe it's because of the many important disputes about basic natural rights these days (e.g., civil rights, right to life, marriage rights) that lawyers from natural law traditions (e.g., Catholic law schools?) now have an edge when vacancies are being considered.
Oops. Just checked Wikipedia, and it seems that there was traditionally a *Catholic* seat on the Court, not a Louisiana one. There have been only 13 Catholic justices, with 7 of them on the Court now. Hmm. The mystery remains.
Ann and Fr. Komonchak:
over the years the the current break-down of the court has been interpreted by many observers as a sign that the Protestant establishment is... gone, together with the demographic collapse of the old mainstream Protestant denominations. What is left is a completely different form of Protestantism (evangelical, fundamentalist or Mormon) which either is culturally marginalized or lacks the intellectual firepower to produce an "establishment" (e.g. supreme court justices) and thus tends to rely on conservative Catholics (what the last few Republican presidents have done).
To avoid misunderstandings, when I said in my previous comments that people have interpreted the lack of evangelical or fundamentalist supreme court justices in terms of a supposed "lack of intellectuall firepower" that obviously does not refer to individual intelligence, but to the fact that the "new" mainstream Protestants are under-represented in academia etc. This was an aspect discussed in Ross Douthat recent book on American religion .
Ann--Natural law claims about our constitutional tradition are a pet irritant of mine. Please take this as a bit of background just because we're on the subject. It's not that claims about the natural law in the American tradition are totally wrong. But they're much more complicated than we generally like to admit. (Murray was especially guilty of overlooking the complications.)
In Madison's Notes on the Constitutional Convention, James Wilson is recorded to have said that,
Laws may be unjust, may be unwise, may be dangerous, may be destructive, and yet not be so unconstitutional as to justify the judge in refusing to give them effect (Madison 337).
George Mason took up the same theme to say that judges
could declare an unconstitutional law void. But with regard to every law, however unjust, oppressive, or pernicious they would be under necessity as judges to give it a free course (Madison 341).
This is a quite modern notion of law at home in the Enlightenment, and one spoken about freely in the Convention debates. Only a little later, AssociateJustice James Iredell of the United States Supreme Court wrote in Calder v. Bull (1798) that
the ideas of natural justice are regulated by no fixed standard: the ablest and the purest men have differed upon the subject; and all that the Court could properly say, in such an event, would be, that the Legislature (possessed of an equal right of opinion) had passed an act which, in the opinion of the judges, was inconsistent with the abstract principles of natural justice.
These are three prominent and seemingly, at the time, uncontroversial claims that the natural law had no purchase on the laws of the United States contemporary to the writing of the Constitution. There are more. Of course, there also were those who appealed to the law of nature. But we Catholics need to be far more careful about our claims regarding the natural law and the Constitution.
Certainly, both Catholics and Jews are disproportionately represented on the Court. For that matter, natives of the Dominican Republic seem to be disproportionately represented on the rosters of major league baseball teams. Not sure what it all means.
I am uneasy with appeal to the natural law tradition as being a framework upon which to construct a decision around the "justice" of a particular law or practice. In fact, I recall that Chief Justice Roberts, did not appeal to natural law when asked to about his legal standpoint. He relied instead on stare decisis. His polar star, in other words, when asked about overturning decisions like Roe v Wade was stare decisis or precedent.
I would prefer appeal to world wide consensus on issues as reflected in UN charters, documents, and international law than to natural law.
Of course, that begs the question of where this consensus emerges from and I do not discount a natural law as a broad philosophical idea but, even here, there is always various interpretations of natural law. Many currents of religion, politics, culture, science, philosophy, impact on our interpretation of natural law assuming such a thing actually even exists. And even if it does, it, like everything else requires an interpreter. And the interpreter (e.g human beings) are situated in history. Nietzsche once quipped that there are no facts, only interpretations and in this he was largely correct.
A number of us have more or less dismissed the Stiehm piece as a hate piece. But consider what I take to be the core of her displeasure, which could have been written up in a column without wrapping it in anti-Catholic vitriol. She writes, "Sotomayor's stay is tantamount to selling out the sisterhood.".
I think Katherine Nielsen does a good job above of debunking the notion that Sotomayor is shoving Catholic morality down the country's throat. But it seems that what Stiehm objects to is not that Sotomayor allegedly shoved personal morality down our throats; it's that she allegedly shoved the wrong personal morality down our throats. In other words, it is not the merits of the law (or, as Justice Scalia might put it, the merits of the hamburger) that determines how a judge should rule; it is that the correct set of moral principles, and not the erroneous set of principles, be enforced from the bench.
A conservative would say that the Founding Fathers set up an institution to ensure that our laws reflect our moral principles, and that instituion is not the Court but Congress. I suppose that is part of what Justice Scalia's Hamburger Principle is meant to convey.
It's not that the court is full of Jews and Catholics, it's that it's full of Reptoids.
She just put a stay of the implemenatation. Which can make sense if the whole court is going to vote on it. Clearly they have an interest in reveiwing it. So it makes sense. People may be reading too much into it.
Once upon a time people were proudly insistent that their resume include "White Ango Saxon Protestant. Religion was de rigeur on many resumes. So one would see often. Relgion: Presbyterian. or Episcopalians. Most firms, especially on Wall St, looke for those who were "Good Type" meaning wasps. This is why many Jews would change their names to Brown or Green in contrast to the very recognizable ones . Many Catholics did the same. Martino became Martin etc.
Just makes one feel sorry for all those WASPS.
It's not surprising, but I am surprised to see such a passive response to this by dotcommonweal editors. I'd hope that no matter who wrote this bilge, or whether they wrote it from left or right, the editors would want to denounce this sort of outright bigotry.
The author doesn't know much about the law either. Justice Sotomayor is the SC justice assigned to the 10th Federal Circuit, which includes Colorado, the state from which the challenged ruling originated. It is not unusual for the assigned circuit justice to refrain from ruling on an emergency application within a particular judicial appellate circuit and to instead pass the matter on to the entire SC for review. I think it's a real stretch for the author to think that Justice Sotomayor has somehow tipped her hand as to how she will eventually vote when the entire SC takes up the emergency application. In fact, she ordered that the government respond to the emergency application within two days after a major holiday. She could have easily ordered a longer response time if she were trying to stall a decision. I'm betting there were some disgruntled DOJ personnel who were not happy that they had to spend Christmas and its immediate aftermath in the office drafting their brief for filing with the SC.
Sorry...It was New Year's those likely disgruntled DOJ employees had to work through.... ;)
The sad part about artifical contraception is that women want it.That women are willng to alter their otherwise healthy bodies by upsetting the natual balance of hormones,which is not a minor change,like changeing ones hair color,when natural birth control exists,is the great blunder.The pill can be harmful and is implicated as the cause of some cancers and life threatening bood clots .Fo married couples to be using condoms to prevent conception is also spiteing oneself needlesly.Determining for oneselves the amount of chidren and their spacing makes sense to a point. The God made life force is so powerful that for all our advances in science , there is still no sure proof safe,satisfying and effective method of birth cntrol."life will have it's answer only too soon again"]]Women are harming themseves by artificialy attempting to thwart this mirale of life that is given us.God made us[if healthy] so that we can live in harmony with our natural bodies and plan our future to a deree.Being open to life when all our ducks are not in order[un wanted prenancies] is part of a faith centered life.Situations of extreme poverty,wars ,etc. are legitimate reasons to not want to bring children into ones environment,They are a call to consience about these evils. Throwing condoms [ though necessay for std's prevention]and giving dangerous hormones or coaxing people to get sterilized is a callous way of deaing with suffering.Unfotunatel many women have drank this artifical birth control kool-aid.Good that so far there is still push back from pockets of catholic women in the church.
Most Catholic women, like most women in general, do use birth control. Like any medication, it has side effects for some people, but it t has benefits as well (protecting against ovarian cancer ... http://www.cancer.org/cancer/news/birth-control-pill-use-cuts-ovarian-ca...). It saves lives ... "Unsafe abortions rise as contraceptive funding is cut" ... http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21372-unsafe-abortions-rise-as-con...
@rose-ellen, my husband and I used NFP during our fertile years, in part for the reasons your cite. I prefer to use holistic approaches to health where possible. However, it doesn't work for everyone. The essential element, without which it absolutely will not be successful, is that both spouse have to be on board with it. This presupposes equality in the relationship, and that both are willing to put the other first. Many women are either not able to make the method work for them, or do not have husbands willing to make the necessary sacrifices.

It's not that claims about the natural law in the American tradition are totally wrong. But they're much more complicated than we generally like to admit."
Steven --
Indeed, it is complex. I'd be the last to deny it, mainly because there were many different traditions of natural law which had appeared by the 1700s. But it's a fact that the concept of a "right", for instance, came out of the West, specifically the Roman Stoic tradition, and that it was developed further in the Christian middle ages. It is a notion so fundamental that the American founders saw fit to almost immediately make an addendum now called "the Bill of Rights" -- not the Bill of Customs nor the Bill of Legislative Fiats nor the Bill of Imperial Will, but the Bill of Rights.
The whole vocabulary of common law is full of latin words and phrases that maintain the influence of the ancient theory on the judges of the common law courts. The old theory is one of the main reasons that the U. S. invented that sort of Constitution and not China or Aztec Mexico. Ideas come from somewhere, and the best ones last. No, the influence wasn't through the Churches, but through the common law judges and the Enlightenment thinkers who were influenced by the past too.
I just wish Locke (who influenced Jefferson so much) had given more attention to the notion of obligation. By not giving equal weight to that correlative the founders prepared the ground for the rampant individualism of the U. S. today -- so many rights, so few obligations.
George D. --
About stare decisis -- Just where did those decisions that must stand come from? Why from the judges in the common law courts who had to decide particular cases. But where did their principles come from? Certainly not from a written constitution -- England has never had one. So what did they appeal to and why? Don't tell me to prior decisions -- that gets us into an infinite regress. There had to be something that the original judges who made the original decision based their judgments on. (And those original judges include the Germanic founders of the original Germanic law.)
Let me suggest that when those original elders/wise men/judges were asked to make a moral decision for a community that the judges looked to the common experience of the tribe to see just what was usually involved in such cases. What did they find? Rational animals who could be held responsible for there acts because they knew their own and other people's capabilities and needs, and the judges saw that all the members of the tribe were equally members, so that judgments had to be applicable equally to each and all. And that's the sort of comparing of experiences that reveal what is natural to human beings. It reveals what our common needs and capabilities are, as distinguished from, say, snakes or birds or even dogs.
By "natural" I mean that there are necessarilly parts of us that make us to be the sort of things that we are. So we say that we are *by nature* necessarily organic, sensient, rational beings with the need for food, education, sex, family, tribe, that these needs are met by equal treatment and cooperation among the members of the tribe. And that's the sort of thing philosophers mean when they talke about "natural law" -- what is required to meet those needs and capabilities. No, natural law (a metaphor) isn't written down and promulgated by an authority. We know it through experiencing other people, other tribes, other communities. By means of common human experience we come to see what is what is necessary *to be and become fully human*. And that is to flourish. See Aristotle and Aquinas. Again, Alasdair MacIntyre's "After Virtue" is a great introduction to the subject.
Rose-Ellen, when my husband and I married, we decided that we'd have only as many children as we could afford to support, and if the Church wanted us to have more, the Church would have to help support them. We used various kinds of contraception and our consciences were and are clear.
Katherine - fwiw, we do, too, and at least in part for the same reason.
Jim, when I got married the (generally conservative) priest asked us whether "we were open to the idea of having children", to which we answered, "yes, of course, obviously not right now since we are still students, but some day later. Of course we want children", and that was it. It didn't seem like a big deal, in fact it was quite natural. Nothing else was mentioned by the priest in that regard. For many years I was not even aware of the ban on artificial contraception. The exact means of contraception were worked out between our doctor and our couple and evolved over the years, but it never crossed my mind that my pastor might have something relevant to say about it.
Ann--and to bring your analysis back to where this all started (if I may so presume), the bishops' arguments about religious liberty ironically, comically, suffer that Lockean defect. They argue for an expansive right to religious freedom whose boundaries they get to define, balanced by no obligation at all. (See also, Pacem in Terris, No.30.) This is all quite modern and individualistic, alien to Catholicism. The ironies abound.
Ann I get the whole natural law premise but the way it is appealed to, particularly in Catholic social thought and teaching is problematic. The ban on contraception and homosexuality, for example, are largely predicated on an appeal to natural law. I read HV carefully and prayerfully and came to the conclusion that, yes there were some very good and valid points that I could wholeheartedly agree with. However, the concrete applicability of that particular teaching, in my particular situation, at a particular time was not sensible, safe, or, practical.
My appeal was to experience of others, medical professionals who deemed that another pregnancy for spouse would be very high risk for her health. I had to consider economics. I could not stay off work if wife was I bed restor hospitalized, etc., etc.
My point is that as a broad framework for what is required for human beings to flourish, natural law some usefulness but in terms of practicality and judgement, we require more evidence.
And I would be suspicious of a judge who relied on it.
take the Little Sisters case. How would natural law address the issue of the role of government to be coercive, requiring someone's signature to opt out of something? Aren't we born free? What is government and how does natural law inform it? In the 1700's the Europeans and indigenous people has very different ideas about what was "natural".
Some very interesting comments, and I haven't even posted yet!
Here's the part I don't get:
The left is not shy about preaching the Catholic tradition of helping the poor, even to the point of sacrificing what's rightfully "ours," in terms of the pocketbook. So they fully buy in to the whole concept of suffering, of doing without, for the sake of others. Thank God for that. It may be the main reason God makes liberals. Yet, when it comes to that other section of the pocketbook (where more personal things are kept) and where the Church also calls for sacrifice, the left is the first to say, "Hey, what the hell do you people know about something like that, and who gave you the right to tell me…blah, blah, blah"
What gives?
Angela: if your consience is clear then that settles that for you.That does not obviate the church's taking a moral stand that differs from yours.The church[as a deliberate body here] has theological issues to contend with when arriving at a moral position; that you don't HAVE to contend with.or that you may conscientiously refute.
"My point is that as a broad framework for what is required for human beings to flourish, natural law some usefulness but in terms of practicality and judgement, we require more evidence."
George D. --
I couldn't agree with you more strongly. I constantly defend the *basic* principles of natural law: that it is our nature (what we are including our needs and capabilities) which justifies a theory of rights and duties. But also, at least as Aquinas propounds it, "natural law theory" is clear only in its basicl principles. The secondary, more specific ones start to get muddy. Aquinas himself held explicitly that the secondary principles are not as sure, and the further away we get from the basics ones -- that is, the closer we get to specific and individual cases -- the more unsure are our conclusions.
This is why the virtue of prudence plays such a big part in Aquinas' ethical theory. (As I see it, prudence is a sort of deus ex machina for solving moral problems.) Actually, at this point in history I don't think that we need any more evidence about contraception being OK. World population won't permit the sort of profligate family planning that the official Church requires.
As I see it, the absolute ban on contraception is simply very bad reasoning from limited premises, and I don't care if we did get it from Thomas. He's one of the great ethicians, but he's not infallible either. The greatest irony of all this is that VII pretty much shelved the great Aquinas, but now they're left with JP II's untried "ethics of the body" or whatever it is they call it.

The internationally acclaimed author of The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury is a magician at the height of his powers, displaying his sorcerer's skill with twenty-one remarkable stories that run the gamut from total reality to light fantastic, from high noon to long after midnight. A true master tells all, revealing the strange secret of growing young and mad; opening a Witch Door that links two intolerant centuries; joining an ancient couple in their wild assassination games; celebrating life and dreams in the unique voice that has favored him across six decades and has enchanted millions of readers the world over.
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

In a nutshell, what events, occurrences, or mishaps took place that allowed the Irish to win the war of Independence over what could arguably be the most powerful nation of the time, when they were unsuccessful in their multitude of attempts previously?
World War I is the short answer. Conscription efforts incensed large volumes of the Irish population and the massive casualties sustained as well as economic damage from fighting the war made it harder for the British to respond. I'm sure the 1918 flu didn't help matters any.
One of the factors of Irish independence in 1918 was U.S. President Wilson's Fourteen Points declaration, which included national self-determination. Used as a weapon against Germany and her allies in favor of central European peoples, it was also held against the British in favor of the Irish.
Also, Britain had been weakened and sickened by the carnage of World War I. It did not have the stomach for another one, even a "small" war.
The one other time an Irish independence movement received outside help was in 1798 from 1100 French soldiers in "the year of the French." But that was too little aid to secure the country's independence.
The Irish War of Independence is usually viewed at starting in 1916, with the Easter Rising. It was militarily a disaster, since they surrendered after a few days. The British government executed most of the the ring leaders, and turned them into martyrs, further helping the Irish Independence movement.
The British were exhausted, and indeed bled dry by WWI. There was no will for yet another war of attrition, and also, Michael Collins was a master at guerilla war.

When the item was added to the container (layout card) with animation, it is not possible to destroy it without error:
Items are removed from DOM, but container trying to set active item because its still in innerItems property of container.

Adapt and survive.
Trying to put your old components on a new frame is always a daunting task. Not because of the mechanics–the build is easy. It's the amazing number of variations in compatibility. There really aren't any standards. One issue is wheels. Just a few years ago, everything was simple–100mm hub up front with a 9mm quick-release, 135mm hub in the rear with a 9mm quick-release. Those days are over, and hanging your old wheels on a new frame just got a lot more complicated. Fortunately, the folks at Mavic feel your pain. You don't have to ditch your beloved Crossmax wheels just because you got a frame with a 142mm rear. You can simply adapt.
The Mavic 135 to 142 Rear Axle Adapter Kit makes the switch from 135mm to 142mm easy. Just pop the cups out of your hubs and press the new ones in. The 12mm axle that was provided with your frame will slide right into your hub and you're off.
This Mavic 135 to 142 Rear Axle Adapter is for Crossmax wheels only. Other kits are available for Mavic's other mountain wheels.

Is there any adapter for deemax ultimate from 135 to 142???
Hey Kelly, while we don't stock the other adapters for the Deemax wheels, there are a list of adapters available from Mavic, have no fear!
Hi, May I know if this Mavic 135 to...
May I know if this Mavic 135 to 142 Rear Axle Adapter is compatible with the older Mavic Crossmax wheelset like the 2006 Crossmax SL?
Thanks and regards,

we want to do something that's relatively common among mobile games. We want to reset our Facebook scoreboard every week. I am surprised to find that - looking around - there is no automatic way to do this.
Is it in the plans to offer this functionality? A probably easier thing on Facebook's end that would work for us is if when we ask for friends scores, we get the date of each score, so we can then filter out the scores that are too old.
Other than that, it seems that we'd have to write a Windows Service or Cron task to call the Facebook every week and do this (or do it manually from Putty or other tool), neither of which seem accceptable for this small task.
Thank you and let us know! -Brian Hunsaker Technical Director @ DarkTonic Games

Can you always eat raw meat (wild) as long as it is fresh?
Depending on what you mean by "can you eat it" you can eat anything really, it just depends on how much worse off you want to be afterward.
According to this article, dangers include:
trichinelliosis - from eating meat of a carnivorous animal
brucellosis - can be had from raw caribou
e. coli, and salmonella are rampant
tapeworm - and other worms are fairly common in fish. In fact, all Sushi sold in the United States legally must be frozen before it can be served.
Caveat: My comments are relevant in the UK:
I think if your use of 'fresh' means you killed it, so you can have some confidence in its health before death and could get a reasonable view of the surrounding environment (e.g. don't eat the deer that just came out of the nuclear waste dumping site...), then yes. But make sure you cleanly gut the animal, as diseases like salmonella and e.coli are likely to be present in the gut.
I wouldn't try this with shellfish or any animal that concentrates poisons, but in general I think you'll be fine with the usual game.
Of course, if you have poached the deer from an estate, you may still be at risk from the gamekeeper :-)
For raw wild meat (assuming fresh)
Note: Most mammals can get rabies. If an animal is showing symptoms of rabies, don't eat it.
Pork & Rabbit -- Just don't. They get stuff that will kill you just from contact with an open scratch.
Birds -- While safe if cooked, most birds harbor lots of nastiness when raw. No way would I even think of trying this.
Fish -- It's extremely unlikely that you just happen to be trained in how to clean fish without contaminating the meat (ala sushi chef). If you are, feel free to nom as long as there are no skin lesions, but know that there are many parasites you can get which use fish as part of their reproductive cycle.
My rule is don't eat wild raw meat, cook it when you can't be sure both it and the preparation are sanitary. The only exception is fish caught from a line when I'm able to cleanly sashimi a species known to be generally safe when healthy.
I'm looking at you toro and maguro (tuna), sake (salmon) and hamachi (yellowtail). The salmon and yellowtail are safer if frozen first due to tapeworm and other infectious parasites - so in the wild, those get cooked too in most instances.

5 Things Record Labels Don't Want You to Know They Do
You've read so much about the music industry and its upstanding business practices that you likely think there isn't anything else we could tell you that would come as a surprise. But some record label tactics are so covert that it takes a fair amount of digging just to find out they exist. Here are a few things record labels don't want you to know that they still do in an effort to separate you -- and the artists -- from your hard-earned cash. Things like ...
#5. Demanding Payment Virtually Any Time Music Is Played in Public
Obviously, if you want to use somebody's music for commercial purposes, like in your movie or TV ad, you have to pay. So, you have to license it from a group like ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC, which makes sure record labels and artists collect the royalties they're owed for this sort of thing. Makes sense, right? Well, hang on, because it's about to get stupid.
It probably won't surprise you to know that things like charging a crowd of people $2 each to listen to a band's CD is illegal -- you're basically getting paid for a performance of somebody else's music that you don't own the rights to. But the definition of the word "performance" is mind-bogglingly vast when it comes to music royalties.
"That'll be six bucks."
For example, did you know that a "public performance" includes a coffee shop owner putting a CD or an MP3 player behind the counter to play some Mumford & Sons as background music? Or that it counts as a performance if a shop wants to play music over the phone while people are on hold? That's why hold music is almost always bland, instrumental filler -- keeping you on hold to a computer algorithm's idea of a "marimba jam" is a lot less expensive than having Usher keep your hold time sexy. ASCAP explains it all in this depressingly comprehensive guide to all the ways you can pay for the right to listen to the music you already own when other people who don't also own it might be close enough to hear it too.
They even take time out to lecture you for not considering the artist, who might be getting shafted out of their four-tenths of a cent royalty when you choose to dance to "Wonderful Tonight" at your wedding reception without asking Clapton first:
Via Ascap.com
"This rule, however, does not apply to us."
Oh, and they also argued that royalties should be collected on ringtones. Not on the purchase of ringtones, mind you; they already have that. Rather, they wanted to be paid every time the phone rings. In other words, when a phone rings in a crowded movie theater, someone out there believes you've just been entertained to such a degree that an additional outlay of cash is warranted.
Their attempts to cash in every time a song is even thought about being listened to haven't always been successful, though. They wanted to collect on those 30-second samples you listen to before actually purchasing a song, which is kind of like the government taxing the free pizza samples you eat at the grocery store as income. Or maybe it's nothing like that ... we're not record executives. We can assure you it's just as stupid, though.
"Keep shopping! It costs $70 to get in here, we're going to stock up!"
#4. Reducing Sound Quality So You Perceive a Song as "Louder"
Due to the way the human brain works, there is a formula for making a song into a hit (we broke down the numbers here), and one of the most important elements for the last few decades has been "loudness." But wait a second -- how can record companies determine how "loud" a song is when we're the ones with our hands on the volume knob?
It has to do with how the track is engineered. The trend started as far back as the days of jukeboxes, when producers noted that certain tracks got better reactions than others, and a lot of it came down to how loud the song was perceived to be when it started playing. Over the years, through science that produces screenshots like this ...
Via Youtube
Oh, man, we haven't heard that song in ages!
... it was discovered that you could use a technique called dynamic range compression to amplify the quieter parts of the melody to match the louder tracks like drums and bass. The difference is demonstrated masterfully here:
The result is a song that has a more "in your face" quality at first listen. And that's exactly what record labels want: a song that grabs your attention right away. So what's the problem?
Well, it's sort of ruining the music. See, there used to be limits to how horribly you could mangle the dynamics of a song when analog equipment was the only way to record. But digital technology did away with that shit, and now record labels are free to blast your eardrums with all the unnecessary noise they think you can handle. In many cases, classic albums from the analog days were taken back into the studio, ruined, and then marketed as "digitally remastered."
Because if there's one thing Depeche Mode needed in order to be a good band, it was loudness.
That's how we found ourselves staring down the business end of the Loudness War, the music industry's attempt to address the growing prevalence of shitty ear bud headphones turning every song up to 11.
And the thing is, most of you didn't even know this was happening until now -- it's hard to perceive what's wrong until you hear the unaltered version. This happened with Metallica's album Death Magnetic. On the same day the album was released to retail outlets, it was also made available as a playable download in the video game Guitar Hero. It didn't take especially attentive fans long to notice that the non-game album sounds like complete ass when compared to the Guitar Hero version. Why? Because the latter hadn't had its levels pegged to eliminate all range:
Via Recordinghacks.com
Because if there's one thing Metallica needed help with, it was loudness.
Fans started an online petition to force the band to remaster the album, and Lars Ulrich responded exactly in the manner you'd expect the guy who destroyed Napster to reply.
The worst part about all of this is that it's more than just a matter of taste. Your booty may crave the beat, but your brain and ears need dynamics and sound diversity to keep engaged. Without them, one succumbs to ear fatigue, and there's even danger of actual hearing loss. There hasn't been a Metallica album worth that kind of risk since the mid-'80s.
Know what? Let's just let Metallica have this one.
#3. Straight Up Paying to Get Their Song on the Radio
Hey, do you remember when, for a brief period of time, Limp Bizkit was the biggest band in the world? Ever wonder how that whole thing happened?
You may have heard of payola before -- it's the shady practice of paying radio station programmers and disc jockeys cash under the table to include a specific song or group of songs in their rotation. It was outlawed at one point, but that doesn't mean it went away. They call it pay-for-play now, and record labels get around the illegal part by being totally up front when a cash exchange takes place. That's how we wound up with Limp Bizkit, and we're not being sarcastic -- it was literally a pay-for-play scheme that helped propel Limp Bizkit from terrible rap-rock band to terrible rap-rock band that we heard all the time for a few years there in the early 2000s.
"Sing along, y'all! Doesn't matter what, just make some shit up."
In a perfectly legal deal between Flip/Interscope Records and Portland, Oregon's KUFO-FM, Limp Bizkit's early single "Counterfeit" (which is presumably about Fred Durst's degree from rap college) was played 50 times on the station over the span of five weeks in exchange for $5,000 from the label. They were able to get away with this skirting of payola laws by simply adding a blurb that said "Brought to you by Flip/Interscope" at the beginning of the song.
And now, get ready for the douchiest quote you'll read for at least a few more sentences:
"Pay-for-play is the idea that all of the subtle quid pro quo that was going on in the past bubbles to the surface and becomes a line item in people's budgets."
"Wait, why am I doing this, again? I don't even own a CD player."
Translation: Fuck you, it's legal now because we said it's legal. That's a quote from Tom Barnes, the man who helped broker the shady radio arrangement. His efforts cleared the way for Limp Bizkit to play a well-attended show in one of the biggest hipster strongholds in all the land. Radio station interest in the band took off from there. Fast forward to right now and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is something you wish you hadn't just been reminded of.

If I allow users to upload media (images, videos, etc.) and I get a DMCA takedown notice for a specific file, do I have to prevent users from uploading that same file in the future?
[standard "talk to a real lawyer for a real answer" disclaimer]
I don't know that it's specifically line-itemed as a requirement, but if the current Flava Works vs. Gunter suit is anything to go by, not making some attempt at this is probably not going to help your case. Note that in the first paragraph of the Court Case section, the judge threw out all of the plaintiffs claims except for the bit where Flava Works basically did nothing to prevent/filter repeat offenses. From the filing:
Also remember that this is what YouTube eventually ended up having to build, as ContentID, which goes a step even further than preventing "files" from being uploaded; it actually analyzes the content to try and identify things to reject. (This is obviously way on the far end of options, but it's an interesting example.)

The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory/Devo Sweet Elite mountain bike team is putting its opposition on notice.
�The ... team has two words for the competition: Watch out!,� reads a news release to The Durango Herald.
The six-person Durango-based team kicks off its third season April 13 with the Rumble at 18 in Fruita, with 10 more races to follow, including the Ironhorse Bicycle Class in Durango and a bevy of other high-profile state- and national-championship races.
This year�s team, ranging in age from 17 to 24, features returners Payson McElveen, defending U23 Champion Lauren Catlin, Sepp Kuss and Sarah Sturm, and newcomers Stephan Davoust and Kaylee Blevins, both call-ups from the Devo developmental program.
�We�re psyched to have six really talented athletes this year,� said Chad Cheeney, who manages and coaches the Sweet Elite team, in the news release. �We�ve really worked hard to dial in our training and focus on key races, plus we have great equipment and support thanks to our awesome sponsors and advisory board.
�We�re ready to crush it this year.�
To be eligible for the Sweet Elite team, a rider must be a Devo U14/19 program graduate and a student at Fort Lewis College, or a Durango local younger than 25.

Bridgeport Council

Dear Editor, The Court of public opinion is both a powerful ally and a driving force of the political process. Swaying public opinion is another matter....
It is refreshing to have someone talk about the positive side of things ... hearing all the bickering (and reading it) has gotten old. You have my vote!

Bossman - this shows the absolute lack of class that the Smith camp continues to show. Your comment on this page is everything that is wrong with politics and today's society. Gallagher said nothing derogatory about any of the candidates and only touted his experience and his platform. From what I can tell, he took the high road in this election. Smith and Lenz keep talking about the mayor and his cronies - isn't that what they are doing? They can't run on an individual platform because they have to stick together - otherwise Smith's wife could lose her paycheck. Sound familiar. Can you tell me anything that Smith, Lenz, et al have accomplished? I would venture anything they supported benefited their interests only. I knew most of the candidates many years ago. The Gallaghers seem to be very involved in the community. The Coynes are a great family. Lenz seemed like a good guy, but I have to question his judgement hanging with Smith...

The mayor's family needs to step aside. They are one comedy of errors after another. Smith is a blowhole. All talk and no action. Good luck Bridgeport in the next few years. i look forward to the quality entertainment your joke of a town will be providing via your council meetings over the coming months.

Scooter66- I am just an average resident living in this valley. I have MY OWN opinions. I am allowed to express them. Maybe others feel the same way, maybe not. What is wrong are people like YOU who probably don't even live around here passing your high and mighty judgement on me.I did not say anything derogatory about him either. Just stated the vote showed he lost also. Put on your big girl panties and lighten up.

Bossman - I am more of a boxer brief kinda guy, but I'm not sure what my underwear choice has to do with anything. If you are in fact an average valley resident then I need to take my high and might self somewhere where people have class and actually want to see their area get better.

My area will be just fine, thank you. This valley and all the little town and villages will endure like they have done for over two hundred years. Take you boxer briefs back to your arm chair and have a good life. Just as long as I bow to your opinion, I'm fine, right? Wrong. I make one comment and you want to start bashing on something you know nothing about. What way are you related to the mayor's family??

Meg Ross has already done a lot in her academic and professional careers. She's an ambitious go-with-the-flow type, she says -- a good fit for adventurous journeys.
In the past, the Spanish and global studies major -- who worked an immersion program in Heredia, Costa Rica, into her undergraduate career -- also was an interpreter in a juvenile court. Currently, Ross teaches third grade at Ellis Elementary in Denver as a teaching fellow.
She'll have a lot of inspiration for her students as she prepares to become a Peace Corps volunteer this summer.
"It's not only an exciting prospect that I can share with my students, bringing some global concepts into the classroom, but it'll also be a continuation of my teaching, helping another community with literacy while I boost my career," said Ross.
Ross is in the Master's International program at CU-Boulder. The program allows students to incorporate Peace Corps service as credit toward graduate studies in a variety of fields. The program has been offered at CU-Boulder since 2011 in combination with master's degrees in business administration, education, environmental studies and geography.
Ross, who's just kicked off her second semester on the CU-Boulder campus, plans to complete the Master's International program in the standard four years.
But first, she has her Peace Corps stint to complete and she says she's most looking forward to getting to know her future community abroad.
Ross is awaiting final word on acceptance and hopes to be placed in the Dominican Republic, South America or somewhere in the Pacific Islands.
"I like to explore and see the world," said Ross. "I'm young and Peace Corps is a good way to do that while teaching, focusing on my interest in literacy issues and developing my professional experience."
For more information about the Peace Corps at CU-Boulder visit http://www.colorado.edu/peacecorps/.

Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks Mr. Aaron Skonnard! I've been watching your videos for a few years now and you've done it again. this is really a nice intro to the new features of WCF 4. I built a site with nerdinner as the template pretty much. I've been looking into taking a REST approach with my dog kennel site which is currently a basic MVC site. it's been a good learning experience and converting to 4.0 REST would be nice. I love the config defaults and the file-less features.
Workflow is another beast i don't really fully comprehend although I can appreciate the new features. maybe now it will gain some traction.
Can any one tell me where the machine.config is located?

The 808 changed perceptions about deep-section wheels. At first, its 82mm-deep profile appeared only in time trials and triathlons. And sure enough, its early incarnations netted numerous Grand Tour stage wins and Ironman world championship at Kona. Still, it didn't take long before Zipp riders discovered that the 808's light weight, responsiveness, and solid handing are ideally suited to hilly bike legs, criteriums, field sprints and long days off the front of the peloton.
Now, with the new Firecrest rim shape, the 808 has improved in almost every metric. In fact, the 808 Firecrest is the fastest front wheel we've ever tested. Its 27.5mm-wide profile is 15 seconds faster than before over 40km, and now equals or exceeds the performance of any 90mm-deep rim on the market as well as many discs. At high wind angles, the 808's aero advantage is even greater, yet Firecrest also makes the 808 remarkably stable.
Essentially, the 808 Firecrest provides the speed of a much deeper rim with the handling of a much shallower one. On windy non-disc-legal course like Kona, that counts for a lot. And in Firecrest's first crack at elite-level competition, Chris "Macca" McCormack rode it to a win on the Big Island in 2010.
With its wider profile, the latest 808 Firecrest Tubular also shows improved lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer and crisp acceleration, yet offers greater comfort and impact resistance than its predecessor.
New for 2014, the 808 Firecrest Tubular is built with a the latest iteration of our 188 rear hub, the V9, along with new spoke-lacing pattern for the rear wheel - refinements that result in improved stiffness and durability. The new hub was developed in cooperation of superstar sprinter Mark Cavendish of the Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Cycling Team and is in use by other top pro cyclists and triathletes including Pete Jacobs and Mirinda Carfrae.
Cavendish received early hub prototypes in January 2013 and logged 13,000 kilometres (8,078 miles) on continually refined variants, including his stage victories at the Giro d'Italia and the 2013 Tour de France. His feedback helped optimize the hub's flange geometry, stiffness and weight.
The new 188/V9 hub has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability. Our new "virtual 3 cross" lacing on both sides of rear wheel improves stiffness, achieving 3 cross stiffness in a 2 cross pattern with a new spoke geometry. The 188/V9 has 25 percent more torsional stiffness than a leading competitive hub. This measure of stiffness is crucial for the direct power transfer to the rear wheel for out-of-the saddle sprints and climbs. The new hub also is laterally (side-to-side) stiffer that its rival or predecessor.
