Lanza's murky mental state
Suicide, secretive probe deny families, public whole story so far
His suicide means there will be no competency hearings or insanity defenses filed in a criminal proceeding that would reveal if Lanza suffered from psychiatric problems as many suspect.
Nevertheless, demands are growing to learn more about Lanza's mental health as a still grief-stricken Connecticut struggles to understand how he came to murder his sleeping mother in her bed and then killed 20 first-graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The families of Newtown want authorities to share what they know about Lanza's mental state. The public wants to know, too.
Voices are rising in legislature for more information about Lanza's mental well-being as state lawmakers prepare policy responses to the Newtown tragedy.
"I certainly think we should be able to find out," said Rep. Arthur J. O'Neill, R-Southbury, a member of the Judiciary Committee and the longest-serving Republican legislator.
Still, there is no clear indication how much information about the killer will emerge from the investigations of the school massacre.
The rampage and the picture of Lanza that has emerged in news accounts have left little doubt in the minds of many that he was mentally unbalanced.
"I will bet my house that Adam Lanza had a mental problem," said House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk. "I don't think I am going out on limb, that some guy that brings a rifle to a school and kills 26 people and then kills himself didn't have a mental problem. I think that is pretty clear. What kind? Whether it was diagnosed? I have no idea."
AS CAFERO STRESSED, THERE HAS BEEN NO OFFICIAL WORD yet that Lanza was ever diagnosed or treated for mental illness despite widespread assumptions in the media following the shootings.
If Lanza was mentally ill, any direct knowledge is limited now to a small circle — investigators from the state police and state prosecutors, his surviving family members and perhaps a personal physician or any mental health professionals who may have treated him.
The ongoing investigation of the Sandy Hook shooting is classified and the secretive probe could take until June or later to complete.
Meanwhile, the state police and Danbury State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III are not even saying if investigators have found records documenting Lanza's mental health history. Sedensky will issue the final report on the investigation.
Sedensky said his office is barred from disclosing information on pending investigations under the state's rules of professional conduct for attorneys.
However, his office is reviewing whether details of Lanza's mental state could be released to the public in the final report on the school shooting.
As the investigation continues, Sedensky said prosecutors are researching legal questions surrounding the possible confidentiality of any mental health records or related information that investigators might uncover.
"If the evidence does exist, there may be privacy issues that determine what is and what is not disclosable," he said.
SEDENSKY SAID HE WILL REVIEW THE EVIDENCE and findings from the state police investigation, determine if any criminal charges need to be filed and issue a final report on the school shooting. It is unclear how long that might take.
If there are any prosecutions, the final report could be held back until all the criminal cases are closed.
O'Neill said state leaders cannot wait until June or longer to find out about Lanza's mental health if investigators have documented that he was mentally ill.
Any information on Lanza's mental health could help guide Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the legislature as they develop policy responses to the Sandy Hook massacre.
IN JANUARY, STATE OFFICIALS REVERSED PLANS to cut more than $7.7 million in funding from mental health and addiction programs. The cuts were made last year to help stem the state's budget shortfall. Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services Commissioner Patricia Rehmer told the Connecticut Mirror that officials needed to re-evaluate mental health services in light of the Newtown tragedy.
Malloy named a 16-member panel to make recommendations on gun regulation, school safety and mental health services. He gave his Sandy Hook Advisory Commission a March 15 reporting deadline.
The legislature's Democratic and Republican leaders named a 50-member bipartisan working group to do the same. They are looking to enact an initial package of legislation at the end of the month.
Other legislation on guns, school security and mental health will work through the legislature's committee system. The regular session adjourns on June 5.
Proposals are now being floated because of Lanza that would affect the rights of the mentally ill, the duties of mental health professionals and insurance coverage.
O'Neill said it would help lawmakers to know for certain if Lanza was ever diagnosed with a mental illness or treated for one before they enact such legislation.
One important piece of missing information is whether Lanza had been taking any prescription medications, he said
O"Neill said his office has been inundated with telephone calls, letters and emails from people questioning the possible links between mass shootings and psychotropic drugs and violent video games.
He introduced legislation to commission a state study into that question. Yet, other legislation being contemplated now would actually rewrite state law or add new statutes that would have immediate effects.
O'Neill compared how much more information was made public about the mental health history of the 35-year-old man who killed four co-workers in the March 1998 shooting at the Connecticut Lottery headquarters.
Authorities reported on the day of the shooting that Matthew Beck had just returned from a four-month medical leave for work-related stress.
Within a week of the lottery shootings, it was reported that Beck had tried to commit suicide twice, spent time in a mental hospital and was seeing a psychiatrist. Some of the information came from his family, friends and co-workers and public information in his personnel file.
The state police issued a final report on the shooting in less than two months after Beck's assault and suicide.
MICHAEL LAWLOR IS MALLOY'S TOP adviser on criminal justice policy and a former lawmaker who cochaired the legislature's Judiciary Committee for 16 years.
If state police confirm that Lanza was mentally ill, Lawlor said he believes at least some of that evidence eventually will be made public.
"Based on past experience, I think it is more likely than not that certain of those records would become public in a completed report on the incident," he said.
Lawlor cited as examples the mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999. In both cases, he said information on the mental health histories of the perpetrators was reported.
If there are records confirming that Lanza was mentally ill, how much the public ultimately learns will hinge on how much of that information falls outside the doctor-patient privilege, Lawlor said.
O'Neill is not waiting on Sedensky and his office to reach a conclusion.
He said he is asking the legislature's research office to prepare a report on what information can or cannot be disclosed about a dead person's mental health history under state and federal laws, particularly if that person committed a crime as heinous as a school shooting.

Bob Nield wrote on Feb 3, 2013 7:48 AM:
Early on, someone made a very thoughtful decision to release a particularly ghoulish picture (and it gets shoved in our faces over and over again) to drive home a message reminiscent of other historic propaganda campaigns. Technology allows for the tracking of images in the media, and it would be interesting to research the release of this particular photo and know the name of the individual who first decided to publish it. This might give insight into the genesis of this campaign.
Apparently there is a need to portray Adam Lanza as other than he was: a kid who didn't get the treatment and educational supports he needed and deserved. If the story of this kid's life were to be revealed - and his father and brother likely could help us all understand more about Adam Lanza's early life - maybe we could learn how to better support kids with autism-spectrum disorders - especially in school, which is such a formative season in childhood development . Even the privileged that the Lanza family enjoyed was inadequate to equip the parents to obtain what was needed to ensure Lanza felt better about himself and his place in society. Certainly Adam Lanza suffered a horribly alone existence.
If the decision were made to be open and honest about Adam Lanza and his family we might find that mistakes were made in helping a sick kid. I have a feeling that, under the auspices of "public health" or "the public good", certain individuals early on chose to spin aspects of this horrible tragedy, and THAT misguided wisdom is what keeps children from getting what they need and it is what kills people like the kids and others in Sandy Hook. It is somehow more acceptable to transform a human being into a monster. That makes it easier for us all to turn our backs on the ever-increasing flood of children in our midst - your child or mine - who are on the spectrum and not being adequately served. "

If we spent as much time discussing care ( or now lack of ) for the Mentally Ill as we have spent on Gun Control, we would be so much closer to actually understanding the problems that caused the Sandy Hook tragedy. I do not need to read in the newspaper that this individual was sick. I simply cannot fathom how any "normal" person could commit such an act.
It does NOT matter where you stand on Gun Control. You can not argue convincingly that care of the Mentally Ill is a MUCH more important long term problem. The resolution of which would go more toward correcting a serious social issue than any resolution on Gun Control. "

I'm not sure that Bob has any inside information regarding Adam Lanza's background but I can tell you that any mental health professional knows that school districts are very resistant to providing individualized special education services though legally required to do so. Considering what I have read about the Newtown school district's abysmal performance in this area, there may be some nexus between a lack of educational support services and the tragedy in Newtown. "

What is SMO?
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a collection of objects that are designed for programming all aspects of managing Microsoft SQL Server.
SMO Overview
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) are objects designed for programmatic management of Microsoft SQL Server. You can use SMO to build customized SQL Server management applications. Although SQL Server Management Studio is a powerful and extensive application for managing SQL Server, there might be times when you would be better served by an SMO application.
- The user applications that control the SQL Server management tasks might have to be simplified to meet the needs of new users and to reduce training costs.
- You might have to create customized SQL Server databases,
- Create an application for creating and monitoring the efficiency of indexes
- An SMO application might also be used to include third-party hardware or software seamlessly into the database management application. Like priter, accesing web.
SMO Vs DMO
The SMO object model extends and supersedes the Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) object model. Compared to SQL-DMO, SMO increases performance, control, and ease of use. Most SQL-DMO functionality is included in SMO, and there are various new classes that support new features in SQL Server. The object model is intuitive and uses SQL-DMO terminology, where it is possible, to help transfer your skills.
Features of SMO
- Cached object model and optimized object instance creation. Objects are loaded only when specifically referenced. Object properties are only partially loaded when the object is created. The remaining objects and properties are loaded when they are referenced directly.(Daynmic Loading and Binding ) this will provide memory manegment and efficent use of SMO objects.
- Batched execution of Transact-SQL statements. Statements are batched to improve network performance.
- Capture Transact-SQL statements. Allows any operation to be captured into a script. Management Studio uses this capability to script an operation instead of executing it immediately.
- Management of SQL Server services with the WMI Provider (Windows Management Instrumentation). SQL Server services can be started, stopped, and paused programmatically.
- Advanced Scripting. Transact-SQL scripts can be generated to re-create SQL Server objects that describe relationships to other objects on the instance of SQL Server.
- Use of Unique Resource Names (URNs). A URN allows you to create instances of and reference SMO objects.
Preparing for SMO use
- SMO Syntax Conventions: SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) typographical conventions are based on those used in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET reference materials.( Transact-SQL statements, macro names, and terms used at the operating system level; file names in text.)
- System Requirements: SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) uses the Microsoft System.Data.SqlClient object driver to connect to and communicate with instances of SQL Server. i.e SQL Server Native Client, which is included with SQL Server and the .NET Framework 2.0. , Visual Studio (2005 or 2008).
- Visual Basic .NET
- Visual C# .NET
Creating SMO Programs
General programming of SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) objects includes the common areas that all objects share, such as running methods, setting properties, and manipulating collections.
Stapes Creating a Visual C# SMO project in Visual Studio.NET
- Start Visual Studio 2005 or 2008.
- On the File menu, click New Project. The New Project dialog box appears.
- In Project Types dialog box, select Visual C# Projects. In the Templates pane, select Windows Application.
- (Optional) In Name, type the name of the new application
- Select the Visual C# application type. For the examples that follow select Console Application.
- On the Project menu, select Add Reference. The Add Reference dialog box appears.
- Select Browse, locate the SMO assemblies in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\SDK\Assemblies\ and select the following files:
- Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll
- Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll
- Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum.dll
- Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll
- Add the additional SMO assemblies if you are specifically programming Service Broker or WMI:
- Microsoft.SqlServer.ServiceBrokerEmum.dll
- Microsoft.SqlServer.WmiEmum.dll
- Click Open.
- On the View menu, click Code.-Or-Select the Program1.cs [Design] Windows and double click the windows form to display the code window.
- In the code, before the namespace statement, type the following using statements to qualify the types in the SMO namespace:
- using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
- using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;
- SMO has various namespaces under Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo, such as Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent. Add these namespaces as needed.
- You can now add your SMO code.
in next part i will tell about how to write SMO program..........................

Also applies to hummers.
I may have to start entering some derbies. I can make a lot of shirt designs like this.
Aaah, there's nothing like a great pun. And this is nothing like a great pun. Pretty weak. Put this shirt in the overlapping circles marked "fakon" and "boring". No offense, Adam.
I was here to bag on this for being like a Demetri Martin joke brought to shirt, but it's Adam Koford, and I like Adam Koford and the things he does, and he has a new baby, so everyone should buy three.
I love bad woot designs on dailies. Makes me laugh.
I'm a big fan of Venn diagrams, possibly because I'm a giant nerd. This has a Venn diagram and a groan-inducing yet amusing pun (though maybe only amusing because it's a pun on "Venn diagram"). That's hard to pass up, but it's just not quite doing it for me.
Shouldn't there be a river down by the van?
I get it, but don't think I'd wear it.

I wonder how this shirt would look on a rather... well-endowed girl...
Either way, I agree about not liking the design.
Does no one else see how this could look like a pair breasts from a distance?

Odd, I thought that this shirt especially failed at it. They're unnaturally too close together. They need some space to bob and what not.
Finally, a shirt that soccer moms would be proud of.
Other items you might find in the designated region include:

What would be the best way to give a module its own context and have its local variables and Modules belong to that context?
How can you give a Module a context and have its local variables and Modules belong to that context?
Here is an idea:
Then use this as:
This works because of the unique symbol:
Here is a version without SetAttributes
Use as follows:
dispatch$99 dispatch$100
Here's one approach, although I don't think it will actually meet your needs.
The main thing is that care needs to be taken to make sure symbols are created in the correct context, with context being set during parsing, not evaluation.
A quick test:
Unfortunately, since you're intending to use this for CDF or a demonstration, I expect you'll run into problems because
If each will have it's own methods, you can't avoid writing every method by hand, and, you can always precede your modules by
Or, if you are just interested in how to implement a basic ADT with some state, basic methods, getters, constructor, check this Usenet post by Leonid when he implements the Pair object, without using a context for each object.
I'm copying it simplified here
and you use it
Basically, "first" and "second" are private attributes, and he stores the state of each instance of
I've also seen around a small OOP package around that associates a class to a context, so the methods are defined in the context of the class instead of the
I recommend you to have a look at my answer here http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/999/66 in order to use a symbol as an object.
The idea is to use DownValues for storing properties and UpValues for storing methods.
Update: Here are two variants of edit(6) that do not require a dispatcher function.
Update2: Code updated to reflect the correct initialization in method3 of this post How to eliminate the need to double evaluate a Manipulate so that a Module in its Initialization section works?.
First one: variables comes from the Module of makeSolver, functions are stored in a solver symbol.
Second one: everything is stored in a solver symbol but assignments to part of a list stored in this symbol are not straightforward.
Honestly I found your question to be too hard to follow in all details, maybe you should try to give a short summary in the beginning. Anyway, if I understood what you want I think there is no reason to do something very complicated. It just needs a very small change to Ruebenko's first approach to avoid the need for
I tried to reprogram your example with that approach, here is the result:
I have not checked whether it passes the demonstrations site checks but I think the above doesn't use anything that could be considered dangerous. You will notice that I used strings instead of symbols for all the "fields" and "method" labels. Of course the code would look much cleaner and more standard if I'd use symbols, which can be done just as well. But I think it would make things more complicated (and need extra code) if you want them to be properly localized and all that. Another thing that's a matter of taste is whether you want to use different syntax for methods so they can be recognized easier as such (or want to pass arguments). You could just as well have used e.g.
The whole approach would of course become much more interesting when using several of such "Objects", like here:
If you see an advantage in doing so, you could of course create the "instance" symbols in an own context, but actually I think there is no reason in bothering with namespaces with that approach...
We could use one of the (many!) patterns that simulate OOP-style objects. For example, we could define a constructor function:
Then we can construct a couple of objects:
... query for properties ...
... update some properties ...
... and query in ways routine to Mathematica but alien to many OO languages:

Positions taken by gun-rights foes do not make sense
I have spent the last two months reading about and discussing the Dec. 14 Newtown shootings. I do not understand the position of those who do not share my views.
Why are Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the legislature photocopying California laws, as then-Gov. Lowell P. Weicker and the legislature did when they enacted Connecticut's first assault-weapons ban in 1993? Now they want to "strengthen" a failed law. How does that stop criminal activity? What about the politicians in Washington, D.C., including all seven members of Connecticut's congressional delegation? They routinely lie to the public about firearms and magazines.

now, this is all about confiscation. you guys like to fool yourselves, and attempt to fool us, with that line- "no one is talking about taking anyone's guns away". we see right through it. the people of new york are fighting it right now, and they have the backing of the state supreme court. and stop with the stuff about overthrowing the government. no one is planning a coup. what we ARE talking about is trying to peacefully make the government understand that it is overstepping it's authority, and that there will be repercussions.
i asked this question of stopbushnow, and got no answer. typical lib. so i ask you. if i choose to resist confiscation of my weapons, and am willing to die fighting for my rights, are YOU, not the peons who you would have do your bidding, you, willing to take up arms and die trying to take my rights away? because, increasingly, your peons are refusing to line up on your side of the argument.
i'm not saying i would do any of this, but you like to use the imagery. do some research before you say that the gov is all powerful. police chiefs across the country are saying they will not uphold these laws. the national guard enlisted men(the one's who you would have pulling the trigger) have sworn to remove their uniforms and deliver their ordinance to the resistance. 75% of military personnel answered 'no' when asked on induction forms, "would you obey an order to fire on American citizens?". in the aftermath of katrina, police officers and soldiers formed a group to think about their reactions in a situation such as this, because they know they f'd up and followed unlawful orders. they have sworn to avoid a repeat. large swaths of the south and midwest will not comply, and many states are passing laws to block the feds attempts. you have the northeast and california. if it happens, don't be surprised if malloy, bye, and looney tell you to get your arse to the front line. just sayin.
then there are the manufacturers that are refusing to sell arms to agencies in states that restrict the rights of citizens. "

I don't know how they come to this conclusion, just like anti-gunners believe more gun laws will stop future mass killings.
These anti-gunners know nothing of the minds of the Lanzas, nothing of the minds of gun owners, and (mostly) nothing what the government is planning to conspire to confiscate our guns.
So unless you are a mind reader or GOD, don't tell gun owners what you "THINK" you know. You know nothing!!!! "

Those on the left such as C4F and Kitty know everything you need and the intent of everyone and everything on that fateful day, albeit completely devoid of fact or actual information.
Those of us on the right such as al, con1 and myself presume to know nothing other than what can be proven by a factual basis. We may speculate on possible scenarios, theories but absolutely do not submit them as truth or fact.
Why do you need a car Kitty and C4F?
Why do you need a vacation?
Why do you need anything?
In short, my response to this needing of anything is why do YOU need anything. I need an AR-15, with a 30-rd magazine. I need it and don't have to justify why. It is my right. Now, why does anybody need a car? Cars are built to break the speed limit. They kill almost 10 times as many people per year than guns do. Drunks can drive them. They pollute the environment and just are generally a pain in the rear to maintain. Really, why do you we need cars? "

The Tao of Healthy Eating, Second Edition (9780936185927)
Publisher: Blue Poppy
Binding: Paperback
This book presents both the traditional Chinese teaching on preventive and remedial dietary therapy as well as addressing such modern Western concerns as high cholesterol, candidiasis, and obesity. The author begins with an introduction to the basic theories of Chinese medicine as they relate to digestion, diet, and health. He then goes on to discuss Chinese dietary recommendations for the most commonly seen Chinese patterns of imbalance amongst Westerners. After talking about the Chinese medical views on food allergies, candidiasis, cholesterol, obesity, and coffee, the author breaks revolutionary new ground by describing all the common vitamins, minerals, and amino acids as if they were traditional Chinese medicinals. This allows Westerners for the first time to pick and choose orthomolecular supplements according to the wisdom and theories of Chinese medicine. Next comes the Chinese medical descriptions of approximately 200 commonly eaten Western foods. Under each food, the author gives its nature and flavors, channel gatherings, Chinese medical functions, and indications. Armed with this information, if one knows their Chinese medical pattern of disharmony, anyone can determine whether a particular food is good or bad for them. The book is rounded out with an index and bibliography. The text is written in a clear, straightforward style suitable for laypersons with little or no prior knowledge of Chinese medicine.

Rain sure is wonderful, when you can get it! It seems like most
of the "80%" chances for rain turn into fog or a light drizzle. It
has been quite a while since the central U.S has gotten much in the
way of rain, and even longer since there has been one of those week
long soakers. Of course, it will come someday, hopefully sooner than
The cattle market still seems to be on a roller coaster ride. The
futures board makes jumps and falls almost daily, while the cash
market seems to be just tossed around like a leaf in the breeze. It
sure is hard to understand how cattle that come out as fats at nearly
the same time can be worth $5.00 or $10.00 a hundred different in a
weeks time. That seems like telling a sixteen year old they can use
the car this night but not another, without any reasons.
It seems like if a company is in the business of producing a
certain thing that they would be in the market every day. For whatever
reasons, there sure seems to be a lot of jumping around anymore. Of
course, gas prices jump around about as much as cattle so maybe there
is some correlation.
Officially it won't be spring until March, but the weather last
week sure felt like spring! If it continues, it sure won't be long
until the trees start budding, the grass starts growing and the bugs
start coming out in full force! Hopefully, we can get a few more days
of rain, snow, sleet or something that resembles real moisture. It is
almost scary to drive around the central part of the nation and see
how low, or dry, the ponds and streams have become.
On the plus side, stocker cattle don't seem to have much trouble
finding a home! Demand for light cattle continues to be very strong
and if we ever do get good moisture in the grazing areas it could get
a little better! Calves are starting to hit the ground and it won't
be long until some pairs start showing up at auction. It will be
interesting to see what they are worth, with a rain and without.
One thing is for sure, there will probably not be any kind of
wheat run north of the Red River! The major wheat grazing areas of
Kansas, Oklahoma and the Panhandles are sorely missing any big numbers
Page 2 of 2 - of cattle. There are some, but for the most part there seems to be
more cows turned out than usual. Hopefully, the grass will come, the
ponds will fill, and we can start getting the numbers built back up so
our markets are not so volatile!
Get in the action! Go to the auction! Raise some beef!
Pray for rain!

Two things, which you probably know about:
- Not possible in Architect to set the layout of something to Accordion
- Items that are created dynamically (like a DataView looping through and creating DataItems which I would like to be accordions) don't work properly
Going to have a play about with getting the dynamic part working as it's required in my project then I'll post my findings here

I have implemented accordion with the list component inside it over Android 2.3.3.Screenshot of it is attached below. However i m facing a problem with the layout of the list component. You can see the list is not getting the full width(pl. see the separator). I have tried a hell lot of things to show its full width over the screen but to no avail. Also the blank part at the right most side(inside accordion) renders as a true list, accepts user taps but does not show over the screen (pl. see 2nd image). This thing works well over the browser but not on emulator. Please Help me out as i want this component by this week's deadline

this is my code snippet(agreed it is not beautiful):

Not entirely sure as my Ext/ST is little to non-existent
Actually after spending a day playing about with getting my DataView to display each DataItem as an Accordion I can't quite get it working. It only ever creates one tab for all DataItems... I'm thinking that it's not quite possible and will have to manually have an accordion toolbar for each of my items
14 Sep 2012 12:31 AM #24
So,can we call the functions in this accordion.js in the application's controller??
18 Oct 2012 6:31 AM #25
I`ve added a overflow: hidden to .x-layout-accordion-item in my stylesheet to be able to collapse the last item as well, no matter if the last item is a list or not. Maybe this helps somebody with this plugin
20 Nov 2012 2:51 AM #26
Has someone successfully migrated the accordion layout to the new ST 2.1 release?
I had a look into it yesterday and accordion layout seems to be completly broken :-(
The top container to toggle a list is gone and there're many changes in Ext.layout.DefaultView version 2.1!
I have to stay at 2.0.1 for the moment, because it was not easy and fast to fix...

If it is prohibited for a women who want's to have children to marry a a man who had a vasectomy and the man told her before the wedding that he had the vasectomy and she had in mind to get invitro from his surgically removed sperm. Is that a valid marriage? Also the rabbi who performed the wedding was not informed of the vasectomy I am guessing how does this whole picture play in the eyes of Hashem. They are both orthodox but at the time of the vasectomy this man was not observant and had 4 children already from a previous marriage. He is a Cohen as well. Is he still a Cohen? I see there has been no bracha since they married I was wondering if this was due to the story above.

This ia what the Rabbi Answered about marrying a man with a Vasectomy. The vasectomy procedure is done on the vas deferens (many, if not most times) inside the body cavity (as opposed to the sexual organ extremities). The person is therefore not considered a "Petzuah Dakah" of the Torah, and may marrry or remain with his wife if they had a proper orthodox marriage – (source: "Chazon Ish" E.H. 12:7). If the vasectomy was done on the outer organs, then if reconstruction surgery repairs the vasectomy damage, he may marry or remain with his wife (if he was married). If the reconstruction surgery is not successful, but the majority of the people who have the reconstruction surgery are able to procreate, then even the person who did not have successful reconstruction surgery is still allowed to marry, or remain with his wife (if they had a proper orthodox marriage) – (source: "Igrot Moshe" by R' M.Feinstein, E.H. IV 30).
And Yes He retains his Cohen Status and can still bless and all the Kohen laws are to be followed

The slide is misleading and confusing because there's not actually any induction going on in the arguments for the claims on it. (Here I'm assuming here that the typing rules are remotely similar to how typing rules for ML-like languages are usually formulated).
The argument for each of the claims is very simple -- for example, if $\Gamma \vdash x : t$ is true, then by definition it must be true by virtue of a typing derivation that has $\Gamma \vdash x : t$ as the conclusion. And by looking through the list of typing rules we find that the only rule that can possibly produce a conclusion with a variable letter in the expression field has $\Gamma(x)=t$ as a side condition, and therefore this must be so -- otherwise there's no way for $\Gamma \vdash x : t$ to be true.
So what's the author's deal when he speaks about induction? Two guesses:
I have no idea what the "typing rules" are, but in order for this to make sense, they must be rules that tell you how to build up something from basic parts. "Induction" would mean doing two things: (1) Proving that a statement is true of the basic parts, whatever they are; and (2) Proving that at each step in building something up from those parts, if the statement is true of the parts that get put together at that step, then it's true of the thing that results from putting them together.
If you tell us what those parts are and how they get put together, maybe we could say more.

Sometimes I want to quickly use a color that I see on a picture, website or program.
I usually take a screenshot then open it in Gimp and use the "Color Picker" tool.
Is there another way to do this in Gimp, without the screenshot step?
Or is it a bad idea to begin with?

Love it! Thank you Sheriff Clarke.
Bravo - telling us like it is whether you like it or not.
NO, you can't. Get proper financing and do your job. Public safety is definitely NOT my responsibility other than my following the law and not making your job any more difficult.Hide replies
Correct - public safety is not your responsibility, but you are partially responsible for your personal safety and using common sense.
Correct logical. It goes back to the liberal view that it's government's job to take care of us and we have no responsibility to do so.
No, LGRepukican...it goes back to the liberal AND conservative view that common sense is rare in society.
Sheriff Clarke isn't asking you to enforce public safety. He's asking you to take responsibility for your OWN safety. Big difference. Supreme Courts around the country have held time and again that law enforcement has no duty whatsoever to protect you the individual, only society as a whole.
That is a ridiculous statement, Mickey. You don't lose police protections, regardless of your role in society.
Wow, that statement right there proves you didn't read Dan S.
If you are getting robbed, or beaten right in front of an officer, that officer does NOT have to help you!
Dan - No one is saying that ANYONE is losing police protection. He IS saying that you OUGHT to take an active role in your own defense. What's the problem with that?
While I agree everyone who is comfortable around firearms would be wise to have one (depending on their specific circumstances) I don't believe for a minute that Clarke is being altruistic. This spot is clearly designed to scare the public into providing more power and money to the MCSO, and in particular, Clarke.
Clarke is a totally reprehensible and irresponsible sheriff. Because Clarke can't figure out how to budget appropriately for his department, he is telling citizens to arm themselves. . .OMG! If any citizen kills or injures another citizen because Clarke told them to arm themselves, the blood will be on Clarke's head.Hide replies
That's right, because Clarke advocates arming ourselves for protection that automatically means every neighborhood will be the OK corral.
Get a grip.
Get a clue.
David Clark is absolutely right and is doing the right thing by telling residents to take their families protection seriously. It's ignorant people like you that become easy victims of violent criminals. I hope you don't have children since you don't believe in protecting them. Good luck when TSHTF!
Just because Clarke says it doesn't mean it is gold. I already knew the police have no duty to protect me or my family as individuals. It is up to me to protect my family until help arrives. I knew this long before Flynn stretched out response times to beyond ridiculous times.
Clarke is trying to get more budget just like everybody else. However Clarke truly does feel that citizens have the right to self defense and that criminals should learn a less dangerous (and legal) profession.
Wow, I totally agree OlderWoman. This is not the wild, wild west. We live in a first world country where we should not have to take the law into our own hands. Encouraging vigilante justice is an incredibly irresponsible and foolish stand to take by the sheriff. I am truly disgusted. Not just at the sheriff, but by how far our blind and extreme partisanship has torn this country apart.
@justaguy. Protecting one's self, family and property is not vigilante ism. I don't think Clarke has suggested that everyone go 'Bronson' everywhere.
That said, I mostly agree with you. And I repeat that not everyone has the mental and physical constitution to be 'deputies'. I make the assumption that his deputies are trained better than the average citizenry are. You cannot show your "hand" unless you KNOW that you can and WILL shoot to kill. (Injuring someone is certainly going to get you killed). Oh, and by the way, the intruder must also be armed, which decreases your chance of defending yourself but if you kill someone who is not armed, it is excessive force and YOU will have to go to jail.
justafool - Where in his remarks does he encourage vigilantism? He is encouraging people to DEFEND themselves, quite the opposite. You and "olderwoman" need to wake up! The criminals ARE ALREADY ARMED! Got it? THEY already have guns and they know that you DON'T. If one of them breaks into your home and starts attacking when will the police or sheriff arrive? Before or after you're dead?
92 murders in Milwaukee County, 20 of those committed by strangers - I feel pretty secure here. What is the message Clarke is spreading about Milwaukee County? By the way - his department has never sent deputies to respond to 911 calls at homes or business.
The most irresponsible position ever.Hide replies
With the country so split, you could be right, but you could be totally wrong also. I can respect that as an opinion, but seem you were trying to make it a fact. I also see people marking this a right -vs- left, it's so far from that.
Clarke is lying - his deputies have never responded to 911 calls at homes or businesses.
Seems this position is practiced in 49 states. Obviously it must be onto something.
I may be mistaken but aren't virtually all non-traffic 911 calls handled by police in the county? The Sheriff makes very few non-traffic arrests. Even UWM makes more. Despite his bloated budget, the Sheriff rarely if ever is the primary responder.
I get the feeling that Mr. Clarks is getting more insecure (is that possible?) because he has not seen his name in the paper enough.Hide replies
His message still applies to the city too. After all Flynn's gang is known to take an hour to respond to a shots fired 911 call.
For people that really understand this stuff, and who does what with law enforcement, the Sheriff's comments are off base. The REALITY is that the Sheriff is primarilly responsible for the interstate highways and the jail, and when he choses to protect the lakefront and the court rooms. In reality he and his deputies are NEVER coming, the police do. In the vast majority of the County, I can't speak for the inner-city (though I think violent crime is responded to immediately and forcefully), is protected VERY adequately by municipal law enforcement. So, while the Sheriff's message is charming, self-empowering, and dramatic like the Sheriff himself, it doesn't have much basis in the real world sort of like the Sheriff himself.
Absolutely true in Milwaukee County. - Clarke is lying. His budget cuts have had zero affect on response time. He is not involved with those kinds of 911 calls, so why does he need "partners"? Unless he is campaigning and the message is for the out-lying counties where deputies have broader duties....
Why how very Republican of you!
Clarke is a psychoHide replies
Clarke is awesome.
If you like psychos.
Clarke is running for another office -- the PSA is a lie - his deputies have never responded to 911 calls at a home or business. The budget cuts had zero affect on response time. He is not in need of partners in this regard.
The republicans have gone mad...
Just like the old west...Shoot out at the OK Coral...

In string theory, are quarks just individual strings, or are they made of multiple strings?
Are the heavier quarks made of heavier or longer strings? Are there red, blue, and green strings corresponding to the color charges of QCD?
OK, here is a simple answer. Almost all the data that research in particle physics has produced the past 70 years or so is described well by the theoretical Standard Model.
In the SM these are the elementary blocks that build up matter, and in the SM they are treated as point particles, dimension 0 in space. String theories have expanded the representation of particles from dimension 0 to dimension 1.
Each of those particles in the table above is represented by as a string in string theory. The quantum numbers that identify each particle in the table above are vibrational modes of the string. Each particle is a different string vibrating at its own "frequencies" , in the plural because the dimensions of spacetime are extended to ten or eleven and each particle is characterized by many quantum numbers, each of which should map into a "frequency".
There is no Standard String Model yet. The group structure that characterizes the SM exists in many forms of string models and the SM can be embedded in them, but a definitive model has not emerged yet. The hope is that eventually the SM will be embedded in the final string theory model which will incorporate the quantization of gravity and we will have a Theory of Everything (TOE).
The table above is simplified not showing the colors for the quarks. Color is another quantum number and it characterizes the frequency modes describing quarks as its other quantum numbers. So color is also a specific vibration of the string representing a quark. There are no "colored" strings otherwise.
String theory is a possible way to unify gravity and quantum mechanics. But strings were originally proposed as a way to describe the strong force that governs quarks i.e. quantum chromodynamics when the particles are at low energies.The strings are the tubes of glue that connect and confine the two quarks in a meson.
Effective string descriptions have also been considered for spin systems as the Ising model in 3D , where 2D surfaces separate the domains of "up" and "down" spin and hence computations involving two-dimensional worldsheets similar to the worldlines of a single particle—in other words a string rather than point particle picture seem natural.

Teen Charged In Boy's Fall From Roof
A Bronx teenager was charged Sunday with attempted murder after he allegedly removed a 9-year-old boy from his apartment, dragged him to the roof of the five-story building and threw him to the street below, leaving him on life-support.
Police were still investigating why Casmine Aska, 17 years old, allegedly threw Freddy Martin off the roof at 1545 Nelson Ave. in the Morris Heights neighborhood.
Prosecutors said the boy named Mr. Aska as his attacker to responding medics and again at the hospital before losing consciousness. On Sunday, Bronx prosecutor Dahlia Olsher-Tannen said Freddy told medics, "Cas dragged me to the roof and threw me off. I don't know why."
She said Freddy suffered severe injuries from the impact of the fall that had left him in a medically induced coma and on life support at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan as of Sunday evening.
"He received four blood transfusions," Ms. Olsher-Tannen told a judge at Mr. Aska's arraignment. "Doctors cannot locate where he is bleeding internally from. He may not survive, your honor."
Police responded to a call around 8:30 p.m. on Friday and arrived to find Freddy lying in the street outside the brick building.
Officers stopped Mr. Aska as he was leaving the building with his mother and a brother. Both Mr. Aska's family and Freddy's family live in the building.
According to court records, Mr. Aska, who has a juvenile criminal history, told police that once he was on the roof, he "grabbed Freddy around the legs. His feet were off the ground. I turned around. I slipped and Freddy fell."
"He admits to hearing a thud as Freddy Martin struck the ground," said Ms. Olsher-Tannen. "He further admits to never getting him help or checking to see if the complainant was OK."
On Sunday Mr. Aska was arraigned in Bronx Criminal Court on charges including attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment. He was remanded to prison. Following the proceeding Mr. Aska's mother left courthouse in tears.
Without going into details, Mr. Aska's attorney, Katherine Dyer, said there was more to the incident than the charges tell.
"This case is not about attempted murder. What this case is really about is a tragic accident," she said. "That will become clear as time goes on."
Ms. Dyer said her client is a student at Harry S. Truman High School, volunteers at his church cleaning and maintaining the grounds, as well as attending services and religious classes.
Neighbors and friends described Freddy as a boy who loved to play videogames and said he could often be seen in the building playing with other children his own age.
Philip Rivera, 44, who lives one floor below Freddy, said he had seen the boy just before the incident playing with another child from the building.
After the incident, "we saw the kid laid out on the floor," said Gina Ortiz, 38, Mr. Rivera's wife. "He was unrecognizable."

Brandenburg - the destination all around Berlin offers
Brandenburg is renowned as the state of nature, water and cultural heritage. The region is full of palaces and parks, stately homes and gardens. Amongst them is the most famous Palace of Sanssouci. The picturesque castle with its fountains and vineyard terraces is part of Europe's most significant and extensive park areas that it also hosts the Neue Palais, which is the last large castle complex in Prussian baroque style. Throughout the year, the cultural heritage is highlighted with concerts and performances such as the Potsdam Schlössernacht (night of castles).
The person who designed Sanssouci castle was no one less than Prussian king Frederick the Great himself who would have turned 300 years of age in 2012. Frederick was the happiest during his newlywed life at the castle in Rheinsberg, an imposing town surrounded by lakes of the Ruppin region. If you are interested in the European history Brandenburg will not disappoint you: there are many stunning places ranging from royal palaces, gothic churches and monasteries, to GDR-heritage and industrial culture.
Apart of the palaces and gardens film-making has a long tradition in Brandenburg's capital. It started in the 1920s when great movie stars like Marlene Dietrich produced movies here in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Today, national and international productions such as Inglourious Basterds by Tarantino are shot in Europe's oldest film complex.
As Brandenburg is renowned for its access to open landscape and to water, outdoor activities enjoy a great reputation. Anyone who wants to explore the state by bicycle can choose between ca. 7,000 kilometers of cycle paths along rivers like Havel, Oder, and Spree or through forests: all the routes can be planned to suit personal preferences, physical fitness and time. The topography is ideal for cyclists: Brandenburg mainly offers flat countryside, a number of idyllic nature reserves and a multitude of lakes and rivers. Famous paths include Berlin to Copenhagen, which connects the two capitals (www.bike-berlin.copenhagen.com) and the Oder-Neiße path where Europe's latest meadow landscape awaits you. www.oderneisse-radweg.deFinally, anyone who would like to combine two activities at a time has a smooth run on the "Fläming-Skate". The wonderfully asphalted Fläming inline skating path leading through "Baruth Urstromtal" and "Niederer Fläming" (the Lower Fläming) is 100km in length and 3m in width offering cyclists and skaters best conditions for intense legwork. www.flaeming-skate.deThe fascinating waterways of the Spreewald have ceased to be the exclusive preserve of canoeists. A must for every visitor is a punt trip through the idyllic Spreewald or "Venice of Brandenburg": an atmospheric and secretive labyrinth consisting of thousands of small and larger waterways. Sailing enthusiasts feel perfectly at home on the Scharmützelsee at the traditional spa resort of Bad Saarow. Houseboat fans can travel several hundred kilometres without any need for a driving licence. www.brandenburg-tourism.com

The TMB-Tourismus Marketing Brandenburg GmbH is a cooperation partner of the initiative "Tolerantes Brandenburg" (Tolerant Brandenburg), initiated by the state of Brandenburg. The declaration of this commitment is to prevent racism and discrimination against foreign people.
Fürst Pückler in Brandenburg
Brandenburg is also Castle and Park of Pückler in Branitz in Cottbus. Many centuries ago, the Fürst (lord) of Pückler was in search of a wife (and even better, a rich one) so travelled once to London, going on to Wales and Ireland, where he was entranced by the classical English landscaped gardens and parks. He didn´t find a rich wife, but returning home, he used English landscapes as his inspiration for his garden at his Branitz Palace. See it in all its beauty during a punt trip through the park or during Branitz Garden Festival each year in May. Pückler was also the designer of Babelsberg Park in Potsdam. In 2017 a Pückler exhibition will be shown in Babelsberg Palace. www.pueckler-mueseum.de

I have a world/universe that I wish to open up to other writers. However I am unsure how I should structure the licensing fees and rights of ownership over the world itself and what happens (basically things like in Forgotten Realms you can't just kill off Elminster)?
As Patches noted, play first, pay second.
I launched a shared story world commercial entertainment property, and I curate examples of others. It is possible to make money from a shared world, but the hurdle is getting folks to want to play in the world first.
You'll need to build a compelling world, lay out the rules clearly about how rights and revenue will be shared, and seed the world with quality content first. Money coming in your door is second (and may take many months before it actually does occur).
Take a look at the worlds listed at http://sharedstoryworlds.com and examine how they structured their legal agreements, revenue sharing, and copyright terms for some ideas about how your world could work. Look at how they have structured their world and the content inside it.
Also, take a look at Into the Far West. I know the creator behind that world, and he's pushing for something close to what you're describing (i.e., an entertainment IP people pay to play in). He hasn't fully rolled out that portion of it, but I want to point out how much he's already done to build and blow out the world.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your project!
Licensing fees
I think you're thinking about it the wrong way. This isn't something you can make money off directly. What you can do is make a killer open source** world and an even better site that by game-izing it (like stackexchange did), draws in tons of writers to develop & use this open source universe.
**Note: do some kind of creative commons license that allows individuals to commercially use the universe, but corps have to pay
Rights of ownership -- wrong question again. the right question is:
How to manage Canon?

As a financial advisor one of the biggest frustrations about our industry is for the young investor that want to get started investing into an IRA.
Why is it frustrating?
Because most big firms don't want to help new investors.
Otherwise known as "small investors".
Yes, you can walk into an Edward Jones office and open an IRA, but you're going to have to pay an annual custodial fee.
They aren't the only ones. All big brokerage firms will charge $40-$75 per year just to have the account open.
In addition, some firms will charge you a small account fee if you don't generate enough commissions or fees or the year.
Over and above that, you're either going to have to pay a commission for each mutual fund, stock or ETF trade that you place or you have to pay an advisory fee which will be anywhere from .75% to 1.5% of your account balance.
As you can see, yes you can open the account with a big brokerage firm, but they're going to gouge you in fees making it nearly impossible for any new investor to make any money.
So what's the alternative?

The first cookies I ever made by myself, at around 12 years of age, were snickerdoodles. Around that time my Mom went back to work, leaving my brothers and I in charge of cooking dinner for the family. She would leave step by step instructions for simple meals, and a hot dinner would be ready for her and my Dad when they got home. This is how I learned basic kitchen skills and where my love of cooking began (a love of eating had already been established). I soon began making desserts from my Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook (enter the snickerdoodles), and from a box filled with my great grandmother's recipes for Boston Cream Pie and other delightful sugar and fad-laden treats. So when I saw this snickerdoodle recipe on Have Cake, Will Travel, I immediately tagged it. I finally got around to making them today for a nice after lunch treat. They are crisp yet soft, and are everything a snickerdoodle should be. I did add a tsp of canola oil to a double recipe because the dough seemed too dry, and I made bite-sized cookies that fit perfectly into the kids' lunch bags for school. Thanks, Celine!

Hi...It's funny because right before you posted your (terrific) Snickerdoodle picture, I was investigating this recipe through the link you posted at the bottom right of your blog. I was curious as to what the original Veg Times recipe was. (HCWT said hers was scaled down and slightly modified). There's no way I want to come out with a batch totaling 7 cookies!
So, naturally, I googled...FYI, here's the link to the original recipe. I'm going to give it a try with whole wheat pastry flour asap.
---Oh, and thanks again. Tonight I gave your chickenless veggie wingz with sweet and sticky sauce a try. My finicky son loved them! Homemade veggie nuggets have arrived. You're the best, Vegan Dad. Keep on bloggin'.

Oh my goodness! I've been a vegan for 10 days now (after 15 years of being a lacto-ovo) and these are the first things I've baked. My carnivorous daughter licked the spoons and loved them, and I just tried my first little nibble. And second bigger nibble. These are so good!!! And so easy to make. Wow. I honestly can't tell they're vegan. And like another commenter said, this can be made with what's in your pantry. I've bought my first soy milk and margarine, and other than that I had everything. This is fantastic, thank you!!!
- June 20, 2008 at 7:10 PM

Could you give me any input on how to make the wingz less rubbery? Did yours have a "bouncy" type texture too? My 5 year old has nothing to compare them to, but my memory serves me well. Thanks.
- June 20, 2008 at 7:14 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
You can play around with the water:gluten ratio. I like these a bit tougher, but, yes, they are a bit bouncy. Make sue they are fully cooked--I use a dark baking sheet, and that may make a difference. More water will make them softer, but also more spongy. It's kimd of a trade off. I like this recipe, but it make not suit the "mouth feel" you are looking for.

I've gone through a couple of cheap metal collapsible steamer baskets in the last year and am looking for something that will last longer. Do you have one that you like? I've seen the silicon ones but have read that it may alter the taste of the vegetables. What is your experience?
I've commented this but I may as well make it an answer.
Asian bamboo steamers are cheap, especially at Asian supermarkets. They're also durable, easy to clean, and usually come in layers so you can steam multiple dishes at once (for example fish and vegetables).
In addition to the bamboo steamers (which are great), I can also recommend finding a steamer insert which fits one or more pots you have. This is far easier to lift out of a pot than a basket, and also easier to clean.
I have a steamer insert with a single, long pot handle which fits a 4qt pot and holds around 2qt of veggies. This is even better than a two-handled one. I couldn't find links to one, though.

I asked this question about how Unity3D coroutines work -- after fruitlessly Googling and researching on the web. It turns out the (pretty much perfect) answer was a link to a blog post that Kay linked to in a comment. Now that I know about this blog, I don't know why I didn't find it at the time, but I didn't. I asked him to add that link as an answer for the benefit of future SO users. He did and I accepted it.
Then, as I found out later when wanting to look up the link again, his answer disappeared, apparently, as one commenter supposes, because it wasn't considered an answer.
Today, another user has added the answer back (not realizing it may have been deleted). To me, this suggests having the link as an answer is indeed helpful to SO users -- the link was certainly helpful to me.
So -- is the link (as originally answered in Kay's comment) really not an acceptable answer?

Can I use spectacle cleaning wipes (alcohol based) to clean camera lenses? I know it shouldn't be used on plastic (like LCD), but is it OK for lens?
Modern lenses have coatings on them that are pretty hard. While it's not impossible to scratch an lens with a modern costing, it is hard as long as you're taking precautions to make sure you don't have grit on your lens. I clear the lens of debris, and then huff with my breath, followed by gently wiping with cotton. That can be a clean pair of underpants that are no longer fit for use. :-)
You don't need fancy chemicals or expensive lens cloths. I'll admit to some hesitation before doing this to my first really expensive lens: a Leica ASPH. :-) Haven't looked back. I was encouraged by a very competent and well published photojournalist. This is how he cleaned his lenses, and they were all pristine. My lenses are also pristine on their front elements.
Be careful with any kind of wiping. Never use physical wiping as the first way of removing dirt. That should be a gentle blowing or a soft lens brush. Only then wipe. The reason for this is that if any hard particles are on the lens when wiping, they can scratch as they are being ground into the lens. Wiping is for removing soft things stuck to the lens, like a fingerprint, the remnants of a dried water drop, etc.
I don't know if alchohol is OK. Certainly it's fine for bare glass, but the front of camera lenses aren't glass but some kind of coating. Those may not like alchohol. The best answer would be in the directions that came with whatever lens you want to clean.
I like to use distilled water when wiping a lens, which should be safe with any lens. Fortunately distilled water is usually handy and available. Exhale gently on the lens to fog it. That will deposit essentially distilled water. By exhaling gently I mean a sort of soft huffing with your mouth open the whole time close over the lens, with no sudden burst of air that could cause spit to come along. This doesn't work in the desert when the lens is warmer than your breath, but most of the time it is effective enough.
I treat camera lenses as much more sophisticated and sensitive than my eye glasses. Before wiping the lens down I always use an air compressor (i.e. the keyboard cleaner bottles you can get at any office supply store) to blow any particles off the lens. Then I spray lens cleaner on the lens...I always use a lens cleaner that specifies use for camera glass (as opposed to just eye glasses). I am not a chemist and don't know if there is any difference in the products, but I don't take any chances with my lenses. Then I use a soft microfiber cloth and wipe in one direction, and I NEVER SWIRL the cloth around, because particles will get picked up by the cloth that can scratch the lens. I swipe in one direction then use a different part of the cloth to swipe in another direction. I repeat until the glass is clean.
Modern lenses (especially higher-end lenses) have special coatings on them which protect them from minor scratches and blemishes, but I would never take any chances.
Personally I do not allow anything other than a professional camera lens cleaning solution or clean water to clean my lenses. Right now "ECLIPSE lens cleaner" and PEC pads are what I use when a lens is really dusty or a clean microfiber cloth with or without water very gently used when I do not have the ECLIPSE and PEC pads handy.
My fear of other, any non-professional, cleaning solutions is that they will affect the various coatings on my Canon "L" series lenses and filters.
When my lenses were primarily of the lower-end third-party variety and they had low-end filters on them I did not take this kind of care with them. I would even clean the filters using a bandana out of my back pocket.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the Power Plant
James Andrews, Facilities Planning and Management '12
Co-op Employer: J.C. Cannistraro, LLC
Position: Project Manager
Hometown: Plymouth, MA
His Second Home on Campus: The Power Plant—the building on campus that houses the boiler plant and electrical generator. James Andrews, BFPM '12, spent his co-op semester managing a Building Information Modeling (BIM) project for J.C. Cannistraro, LLC. The project involved assessing Wentworth's Power Plant and producing a complete 3D model, photos and specs of equipment, and trackable data and stats.
Why BIM?: "Instead of rolls and rolls of blueprints and binders with submission and maintenance reports, the information is all in one place in the computer—photographs, operations manuals. It's hard when you go into a building and you have one set of blueprints and they're really old and ripped. Every building is going to have a digital copy like this someday."
Breaking Virtual Ground: Builders usually use BIM to plan construction, but Andrews' project was a kind of case study on how BIM could be used to study an existing structure. "In the beginning, I would be asking a lot of questions," he says. "But then toward the end I was meeting with my managers only once a week and doing a lot on my own."
His Role: As the project manager, Andrews was the key point of contact for vendors and other staff members contributing to the project. There were also Wentworth students involved from architecture and mechanical engineering majors. "I learned a lot from the students in other majors," he says.
The Takeaway: "I liked that the project was really open-ended. In school you'll have a paper—something specific. At Cannistraro they would go over the goals and if I needed help I would ask someone, but they let me get it done my way."

The largest of all parrots, this breathtaking species grows up to 40 inches long in its habitat south of the Amazon River. It is covered head to foot in deep, rich Hyacinth blue, with vibrant yellow eye rings and patches of yellow on the lower beak and tongue. "Wow" is the expression most people use to describe them.
Their numbers in the wild are decreasing, and their status is rare to endangered. Breeding them is very difficult, so we recommend they be kept only by expert breeders committed to increasing their population.
