What is the industry best practice regarding securing access to source code? I am thinking SSL only connections via apache allowed over to our server on an obscure port that doesn't conflict with anything else. The thing that bothers me is storing source code on a public facing server, i.e. not only accessible via a LAN. Moreover, this server has several uses. Apache is serving up some other internal company websites already. I would like everyone to be able to access the source code from anywhere (homes, airport, whatever) so long as they have the correct credentials. Suggestions?
If you're concerned about it being on a public-facing server but would like access from anywhere, you should consider having your developers use a client-based VPN to log into your network remotely to access an internal source control server.
I'm not too sure why people are thinking the VPN approach is the best. It's not necessarily any more secure and only offers one advantage that I can think of.
PPTP for example is known to have less than ideal security, although I believe it's improved somewhat since first introduced... so be careful which VPN solution you use. I'd go with OpenVPN or IPSEC.
However, you can't beat the convenience of SSL/TLS without the VPN (read further down). And to make it even more secure you can make it certificate only.
However, if you think you might offer other services other than source control then consider a VPN solution because you'll tunnel other services over it.
The disadvantage with using a VPN is that your PC becomes effectively part of the network that it's connecting into. That also can be an advantage. But, if you're a million miles away from home and the network connection to home base isn't too speedy then every time you want to do a diff or check in or out code you might find yourself connecting and disconnecting the VPN.
I can speak from personal experience here as I am a developer and it was a real pain in the bum to be doing this!!! Ideally, both options are preferred.
So if you're going to be browsing the web etc then it might make reading the news etc rather slow. But at least you get secure access to email. So consider how you'll be using it first... If I were you I'd consider implementing both.
Actually, I like your suggestion. If you make your source code repository accessible ONLY via SSL/TLS, and you make certain that your developers don't use easy-to-brute-force passphrases (or better yet, use certificates), then that should be as secure as anything.
You could, instead, hide your server inside your LAN and force developers to use a VPN to get access, but that just means your developers need to put their username/password (and/or cert) into a different login box. I would recommend against creating an entry point into your network whose security implications may not always be obvious, just to allow access to a single service. If you already have VPN configured and secured for other uses, then sure, it's a no-brainer, go ahead and use it. Otherwise, it may be simpler, and thus more secure, to make the service itself directly available via SSL/TLS.
Industry standard probably depends on what your (or your customers') industry is :-)
Practically you need to consider who you want to give access to, and what they can handle. Some people you might want/need to access won't be able to cope with much more than a username/password. Others might be able to get their head around ssh and a private key, which provided you can securely get the key to them, is not bad. TortoiseSVN client can handle ssh+svn and supports private keys with a bit of arm twisting. That has been good enough for my purposes.
A VPN tunnel is also a fair suggestion, although in many places you would be happy to give external people access to just your source control, but not your whole network!
Like others, I prefer a VPN. An alternative would be an SSH tunnel, which I suppose in practical terms is a kind of VPN anyway.
Make it internal-only and implement a remote-user VPN solution. /Doh- duplicate.
If you want access from anywhere, then you need a public facing server — that much is clear.
On that server, you want to expose as little as possible, preferably just Mercurial/Subversion and nothing else. This is to prevent a breach in security from spreading from the source control to the rest of your company. For that reason, I'll agree with Matt when he says that a VPN can be dangerous: it gives much broader access than needed.
For Mercurial, you can lock things down tightly by using
Even if a SSH key is compromised (perhaps it had a weak pass-phrase and the laptop storing it was stolen), then the worst damage an attacker can do, is to add garbage history in Mercurial. The protocol used is inherently append-only, so nothing can be deleted with
For HTTPS, the authentication is done by the front-end webserver. This means that you can require client-site certificates if you want and so get security like the SSH public key authentication above.

Are there any reliable researches defending the regular consumption of coffee at work?
closed as not constructive by Adam Wuerl, Tom Wijsman, HedgeMage Jul 7 '11 at 4:42
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
"Caffeine is a stimulant which makes you feel less tired and, for athletes, delays exhaustion. So if the alternative is being asleep, caffeine cetainly helps.
The other issue is that the regular use of caffeine leads, as with other psychoactive substances, to dependency (tolerance or addiction are other words used). In such cases, lack of caffeine leads to withdrawal symptoms such as drowsiness and irratability. For dependent individuals, a cup of coffee will remove these symptoms in the short term, aiding concentration, though it is less clear whether this is an improvement on never having taken caffeine."
There are links on that page.
This article seems to suggest that there is a relationship with caffeine similar to a dependency, wherein after some time, the caffeine no longer makes you more stimulated, but rather brings you up to "normal". Or, put another way, it lowers your baseline, so that the stimulated state with caffeine of a dependent individual is only as good as the non-stimulated state of a non-dependent one.
There seem to be a lot of scientific literature around this question. Here is one article that seem to answer your question:
A. Smith: Effects of caffeine on human behavior
I also saw this article more about redbull but also comparing with coffee: C. Alford, H. Cox and R. Wescott: The effects of Red Bull Energy Drink on human performance and mood http://www.springerlink.com/content/xxdbgvjy9ke72wbl/
Good luck!

Let $A/X$ be an abelian scheme. Is $H^n(X,A)$ torsion for $n > 0$?
Perhaps this can be proved analogously as Proposition IV.2.7 of Milne's Étale cohomology (where it is proved that the cohomological Brauer group of a quasi-compact scheme is torsion) exploiting the Kummer sequence. For integral affine schemes and the multiplicative group one can also prove this using that the Brauer group injects into the Brauer group of the fraction field, which is torsion as a Galois cohomology group.

I have a Canon Digital EOS Rebel XT camera, and I wonder how you could take photos of moving water like rivers, waterfalls and fountains...
The most common approach to taking great flowing water pictures is to use a long exposure. This allows the "soft, dreamy flow" of water to be captured as you have probably seen in many photos. Achieving a long exposure may require extra equipment, depending on how the scene is lit.
Long Exposures
To achieve a long exposure, you will need to reduce the amount of light reaching your sensor, and expose the sensor for a long duration of time. This usually requires a very tight aperture, such as f/11 or higher, and a long exposure, anywhere from 1/6th of a second to several seconds. You should always use the lowest ISO setting your camera is capable of, as this helps in extending your exposure times. Normally this is ISO100, however if your camera goes to ISO50 or lower, use the lowest setting you can achieve.
In addition to your camera exposure settings, you will need to use a tripod to stabilize the shot. Lengthy exposures in the large fractional seconds to full seconds can not be stabilized by hand, even with the most powerful IS/VR. A tripod will not only allow you to stabilize your shot, but they often have levels that help you keep your shot horizontally level.
To further minimize camera shake, a couple other tools can help. If your camera supports a Mirror Lockup feature, use it. This allows you to flip the mirror with the first press of the shutter, and take the shot with the second. Sadly, pressing the shutter often causes greater camera shake than the mirror flip itself, so an important tool is a remote or cable shutter release. These provide a remote controlled or cable-connected shutter button that allow you to flip the mirror and release the shutter without touching the camera, eliminating camera shake.
Tuning for the Scene
Which settings you use will be dependent upon the scene. Brightly lit scenes may require a very tight aperture. I would avoid using an aperture tighter than f/22, as around there your image will start showing noticeable distortion due to diffraction. I would recommend keeping your aperture between f/11 and f/16, and if you need a longer exposure, add an ND (neutral density) filter to the front of your camera. An ND filter will reduce the amount of light that enters your camera, allowing you to expose for a longer duration.
The longer the shutter is open, the more it will capture that soft sense of motion in water. The amount of motion you wish to capture can greatly affect your scene, so the longest exposure time is not always the most appropriate. A "shorter" long exposure, anywhere from 1/6th of a second up to perhaps 1 second, will show the motion and shape of water better. A "longer" long exposure, up to several seconds, will smooth out the shape of water and enhance that "soft, dreamy glow" effect. The longer you expose, the glassier flat, clear parts of the waters surface will get.
Dimming and Deepening
I highly recommend investing in some ND filters if you wish to do long-exposure shots of water. Even if a scene does not explicitly need an ND filter, they help to mitigate the volume of light and give you more control. ND filters can help deepen the contrast and vibrance of a scene, and can add to the overall effect.
Alternative Scenes
Beyond just photographing waterfalls, longer exposures can create a nicer effect for a wide variety of water scenes. From simple streams or rivers, to lakes lakes, to expansive ocean coastline shots, or tighter shots of reefs and tidal pool areas around coast lines. Longer exposures of water can smooth out the noisy detail of ripples and waves on the surface, reducing the complexity of a scene, helping users zero in on the true subject you are trying to portray.
There are different ways that you can shoot moving water:
The best time for each effect of course varies a bit depending on the scene, and the focal length.
A polarising filter has great effect on water, as light that bounces off water gets polarised. You can use it either to remove reflections, or enhance them.
A neutral (ND) filter is useful if you want to get a longer exposure time. A tripod (or any other means of keeping the camera still) is needed for the longer times.
If you want the flowy dreamy look, try to use a longer shutter speed and a tripod It depends on the water flow rate. In the sun, you may need to use a ND filter as stopping down will get you into diffraction-limited range.
For some waterfalls (particularly violent ones), you may want the opposite: a very fast shutter speed.
You will need to experiment and instantly review with each waterfall as the flow rates are different. If you are getting distracting reflections, a polarizer will also help (and act as a bit of a ND filter by eating light)
Camera : Nikon D5000. Lens : 18-55 VR (kit)
In order to get a "dreamy" flow look I chose shutter-priority mode, set the time to 1/50 (I didn't have the tripod with me so I couldn't hold the camera stable for more time) and shot this first picture.
In order to capture the bubbles of water I set the shutter speed to the fastest value allowed by my camera. However I had to increase the exposure compensation in order to get the image a bit lighter.

5 Sci-Fi Apocalypses The Government Is Actually Planning For
#2. Civilization Collapsing from Climate Change
It's easy to underestimate how very unstable our planet's ecosystem is. Any major change could throw human civilization as we know it right out the window. In theory, the next major earthquake, volcanic eruption, or yes, even the Earth's temperature rising a degree or two through human means (read: wizards) could completely and utterly change everything about the planet. Yet most of these things are hard to predict and impossible to stop, so what is a government to do? Well, there's not much they can do to prevent it, but they can prepare for the inevitable aftermath. Take, us, for example: We've bought inner tubes. Lots of them. We're solid over here.
So what is the government doing about it?
The Global Business Network, while sounding like the subject of a Nigerian scam email, is an actual entity that tries to predict the unthinkable worst-case scenarios of the future. One of its 22-page reports (which it somewhat worryingly recommends be "considered immediately") bases its conclusions on a sudden drastic change in Earth's temperature from an actual event of this type 8,200 years ago (read: when wizards fought the dinosaurs).
The report predicts your usual "oh my God, we're all going to die" greatest hits: flooding, drought, wildfires, horrible winters. But it's more concerned with the less-obvious questions, like "Hey, so when everyone is starving in Pakistan, who's guarding the nukes?" It really makes you stop and realize that apocalyptic scenarios are much more complicated than we tend to think. There are a billion subtle mind-fucks to consider, and the GBN has considered, well, 22 pages worth of them, we guess?
It concludes that the best place to be is Australia (and that's the first time anybody but an Australian has ever said that), because its isolation, size and location basically make it Humanity's Bomb Shelter. (Feel free to put that on a flag, fellas!) Japan is going to pull through by virtue of the sheer cohesion of its people, possibly in some kind of Voltron-like formation, and America, always the class act, will probably get by, too ... once it steals all their water from Mexico. No matter how they cut it, though, the GBN couldn't see less than 25 percent of the male population dying through warfare (the other 75 percent presumably dying later, from giant Australian death spiders).
#1. Regulating Future Weather-Control Technology
Geoengineering is the politically correct term for the potentiality of governments or businesses to one day control the global climate. And we're here to tell you: Weather domination is not just for comic book supervillains anymore! There are real scientists from many countries working right now on means of dictating weather patterns. The rationale for this is always benign-sounding, of course: We could stop hurricanes as soon as they form, saving thousands of lives, or even end global warming (by redirecting the hurricanes onto those damned wizards, probably). Basically, God-playing scientists of the world are developing the technology for better or worse, so it's best to just accept that at some point, someone bad is probably going to get his hands on it and use it against us all -- unless Spider-Man gives himself up by noon.
So what is the government doing about it?
Mandating! Mandating the shit out of things! At the very least, blocking out the sun will be illegal, thanks to a U.N. resolution. Not because they're worried about supervillains per se. No, just in case some totally well-intentioned nation decides that partially blocking the sun's rays will help slow climate change. We're not talking "big discs on a mountain" here, though.
Although that is universally agreed to be the straight pimpingest way to do it.
No, some scientists propose injecting chemicals into the atmosphere that would effectively "darken" it, letting in less light and heat. So if, say, China decided that this global warming thing was going too far but didn't feel like cutting carbon emissions or any of that hippie crap, it might find the "scientific" approach, which in this case means "inducing eternal twilight," a bit more to its liking. Economists have gone on record stating that geoengineering like this would cost a "fraction" of the amount of prevention policies, while essentially achieving the same results, so it makes sound economic sense.
That's right: Blocking out the sun is just good business.
Don't worry, though! We've got that U.N. resolution, and those are always followed to the letter.

I am suppose to find the equation of a tangent line and I am given the following information: $ y = \sqrt[4] {x}$, $(1,1)$ I know the formula $f(a+h)-f(a)$ but it does not seem to be helping me.
Equation of tangent line at point $(a,f(a))$ is $y = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a)$, so we have to find $f'(x)$ and than plug in value $a$ into the result.
$$ f'(x) = (\sqrt[4]{x})' = ({x^{\frac{1}{4}}})' = \frac{1}{4}{x^{\frac{{ - 3}}{4}}}$$
$$\implies f'(a) = f'(1) = \frac{1}{4}$$
Since $f(1) = 1$, we can write next equation $y = 1 + \frac{1}{4}(x - 1)$
which means that equation of tangent line is $y = \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{3}{4}$.
For the point-slope form of a tangent lint, $y - y_0 = m (x - x_0)$, you need exactly 2 pieces of information: the slope $m$ of the line and a point $(x_0, y_0)$ that the line goes through.
You have the point, so how do you find the slope? Well, the derivative tells you something about the slope, right? If you know what that is, then you can assemble both of these pieces of information into the equation for the tangent line.

Although Robin seems to have an pivotal role in ruining earlier Batman movies, he's still an integral part of the Batman series.
Is there a reason why Robin does not appear in Batman Begins/The Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises?
Although Robin seems to have an pivotal role in ruining earlier Batman movies, he's still an integral part of the Batman series.
It's a matter of the director having a specific vision of how his Batman stories will become. In the first two films, Christopher Nolan wanted to bring Batman back to his roots, explore how Bruce Wayne became Batman, and how Batman became the legend he is (in the 1989 Batman film, when Vicki Vale asks Bruce why bats, he replies "They're great survivors"; in Batman Forever, we get a VERY brief glimpse of bats on Bruce's mind. That's all the motivation we get). Batman Begins was very much an origin story, showing also the training Bruce took to become Batman. The Dark Knight follows soon after that story, as the ending of Batman Begins sets up The Joker to enter the story.
The thing is, I tried looking up the reason, and I can't yet find any quotes online from Christopher Nolan (see this article here for an expanded story on this). The next film, The Dark Knight Rises, supposedly takes place 8 years after The Dark Knight. It also features Bane, a character who became notorious for eventually breaking Batman's back. It's entirely conceivable that Nolan will include Robin in this film as his protege who can help him fight Bane. Nobody outside the film set really knows. Me, I'm looking forward to finding out in 2012.
Robin is in the final Nolan directed Batman movie ("The Dark Knight Rises"). In the final few minutes of the movie, when Officer Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is collecting his property from the boys home, the woman behind the desk isn't able to find his name in their system. He then gives her is 'real name,' after which she says "You should use your real name, I like it better (or something to that nature) . . . Robin."
The interesting part about the conclusion of the Dark Knight Rises is that it seems to be a set up for a "Robin" franchise in the next few years. When Officer Blake discovers the batcave beneath Wayne Manor (Now the new home for Gotham's Orphans) it seems to be a 'passing of the torch' moment. Also when he is talking with Bruce Wayne about the similarities of their pasts, and at the end of the movie when he is talking with Gordon about why he is leaving the police force (i.e. the 'structure'). In fact, during the first thirty minutes of the movie, there even seems to be a set-up for who the villain will be for Robin . . . Killer-Croc. When Commissioner Gordon is taken captive by Bane in the sewers, there is a brief mention by one of the officers of a "large crocodile" (or something using those terms) in the sewers. I believe that Killer-Croc spent the majority of his time in the sewers in the comic series. It seemed like an off the cuff kind of statement for a character, and pointless to have in the movie, since it's humor factor didn't really have too much of an impact. I honestly believe it was a direct set up line for a Robin movie.
Nolan has given an explanation for this. According to him the Batman portrayed in his movies is still young and according to comics Robin appears only when Batman grows old and hence needs a sidekick. Nolan has also said that in his trilogy Robin won't appear at all because these movies will present a young Batman.
Christian Bale said that he wouldn't want to be Batman in this franchise if there was a Robin and Christopher Nolan obliged. Nolan said that he wouldn't fit the dark tone of the movies. Also Dick Grayson is very young when he becomes Robin, about 10 or 12. So that's another reason for not having him in the films.
To keep it short:
The point of the Robin reference was to display that even though the audience did not know Blake was Robin, he still was. In some interview, someone close to the production of the movie mentioned how the purpose is that he was Robin the whole time, you only find out at the end. This represents perfectly what Batman says to Blake earlier in DKR, that his goal was only to inspire people. The purpose of Batman is not that only Batman can do it.
The message is that anyone has the ability to stand up for justice and protect his or her society. Some of the true heroes of the day are Gordon, Blake, and Selina (Selina actually SAVES Batman when Bane is about to kill him at the end of the movie). Making a Robin movie would veer away from the purpose and just present another hero of Gotham, while, conversely, the hero of Gotham is the soul of hope. And that belongs to anyone.
He is in The Dark Night Rises with the cover name
In the final scene you hear a woman asking why he does not go by his real name, and then calls him "Robin".
Batman will be rebooted to fit in with the new DC Universe leading up to an eventual Justice League movie that has been green lighted after the success of Marvel's Avengers. It will not be confirmed until after the Superman reboot that's coming next year. So there was no time to introduce Robin as the Franchise had to go to make way for what they expect to be a bigger movie, believe it or not considering the success of Nolan's Batman franchise.
That being said, and after watching the ending of the TDKR... they're obviously toying with the idea of a Robin or Nightwing franchise in the Nolan "realistic" Universe because it is such a wildly popular adaptation.
I expect to see a spin-off Franchise dealing with how Robin becomes Nightwing in a few years. Otherwise what was the point of that ending?
Nolan spoke to this in an interview for Empire-Online. In short, he simply found it difficult to imagine Robin fitting into the world he'd created:

Should we still call Ratzinger "pope" after February?
Bishop Paprocki of Springfield, Ill., is known as a Catholic culture warrior to many but he is also a Rome-trained canon lawyer. In a memo that Pia de Solenni passes along, with his nihil obstat, Paprocki gives his opinion on a number of interesting issues stemming from Pope Benedict XVI's unusual resignation -- one of his views being that the talk of "abdication" is silly and the best and proper word is "resignation." (Guess the bishop just doesn't "get" religion, eh tmatt?)(The bishop also shows himself to be in the dynamic equivalency rather than literal translation camp -- at least on this issue.)More intriguing, however, is his note that the word "pope" actually does not appear in canon law, and that Benedict never used it in his resignation address. Cool. But the lesson Paprocki draws from this may be a matter of debate -- that since it is a title, Benedict, even when he becomes Joseph Ratzinger on Feb. 28, should still be called "pope" and addressed as "Your Holiness." He writes:
How then are we to understand the word Pope? It is an honorific, even a term of endearment (Papa in Italian). It is not the title of an ecclesiastical office. We make this distinction all the time. We still call a priest by the honorific Father even after he has resigned from the office of Pastor. Having lived in Italy for three and a half years when I was studying canon law, and having a sense of the culture, I have a feeling the Italians will continue to call Pope BenedictPapa Benedetto even after he leaves office as the Bishop of Rome. So I dont think people will have a hard time wrapping their minds around having a Pope who is no longer the Roman Pontiff, Bishop of Rome, etc. Certainly, in direct address, one would never address him as anything but, Your Holiness.
Interesting, but to me a recipe for confusion, and maybe worse. And not necessary. Thoughts?

The world is full of "formers." More than one insurance or car salesman has his former military title (usually "Lt. Col [Ret]") on his business cards. (I say "his" because I haven't run across any women who do this.)Then there are all of those former politicos who are called whatever they were no matter how long ago they were. The US is full of royalists who don't admit it. We may as well call J. Ratzinger "Pope (Ret)" as well. But I won't buy a car or a term insurance policy from him, either.
I should think that any self-aware human being would draw back in shame and fear at the mere thought of being addressed as "Your Holiness."
We refer to John Paul II as Pope John Paul II, and he's not even alive. So, I would think we would still refer to Pope Benedict as Pope Benedict after he retires. It would only get confusing if the next guy picks the name "Benedict" too.
How about ex-Benedict?
He should be called Joseph (Joe if he prefers), just as he should be addressed when he is serving as bishop of Rome. That is the name his parents gave him. He is, after all, the servant of all the church. If we would all address our bishops so, it might force them (and us) to recognize that we are all the church.
There's a theological question here, too. We teach that orders effects an ontological change in the ordinand. Once a priest, always a priest. But the papacy carries no such ontological mojo. We'd be clearer about out theology of orders if we called him Josef Cardinal Ratzinger.
How about Bishop or Archbishop Ratzinger? He said he renounced all governance, and a cardinal has some governing powers even over 80, I believe.
How about asking him? Ask him while he's still pope so his word still carries weight...
The EX? If priests are priests forever then is Fr. Roy Bourgeois still a priest?The pope prepares for retirement ... http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/retirement-ad/n32894/
My husband's name is Joe and our grandchildren call him "Papa Joe". For our retiring pope I think such a moniker would fit, both as a recognition of his baptismal name and his soon-to -be previous office as Pope (Papa). I don't make this as a snarky suggestion. I think it would be both an appropriate and endearing name, though I suspect it may not be to the liking of such a formal and introverted man. Too bad, if that is the case.
"What's in a name? That which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet."- Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)Poor Joseph just may have a difficult time adjusting to the idea of not being omnipotent and infallible anymore.Unless B16's successor is already all but chosen and part of the deal is that he accept Ratzinger living-in-the-Vatican-cloister, this is one more reason why I think the next pope may have a different ideas about the wisdom of keeping Joseph around where he can continue to opine about papal decisions.
In The Ethics of Memory, Avishai Margalit develops cogent arguments for why memory of people ought to be as specific as possible, including a name. When we meet a person, memory is invoked, including, if w ehave it, memory of what we call the subject. If I were he, Father Joseph would probably be my preference. It is entirely respectful, and it is accurate at several levels. But I am not he, and for several reasons, I think it is best for each person to express his name as he wishes. The common respect we have for our elders should, it seems to me, dictate that they determine how they hope to be addressed. It should be a simple thing for us to acknowledge them as individuals in that way.
O, the temptation for me to be snarky here...but I'll refrain.For now :-)
Helen --Groan :-)
Ann OlivierYes, ex-Benedict is the latest special on brunch menus.
We refer to ex-presidents as President Clinton, President Bush, etc.. So why not, "Pope Benedict"? And why not, "Your Holiness"? At least unless he himself asks for some other way of referring to/addressing him.
Having lunch with the man who used to be Pope Benedict and with the new pope: "Your Holinesses, would you like more dessert?"
Claire: Those who address others as "Your Holiness," or "Your Majesty," etc. avoid the use of the blunter "you" or "your," so it would be better to ask the popes individually, "Would Your Holiness like dessert?" (Never use "more" in offering food. That makes the eater sound greedy.)(Do servants in Italy ask diners if they want something, or do they just offer it, waiting for a hand gesture to accept the offering or wave it off?)
I read in La Stampa that the current talk in Rome is that he will be called "Bishop Emeritus of Rome," which is I think the best possible choice. Emeritus connotes completion of service, and it also fits for a professor.
I like that Terry Mattingly can't be bothered to correct his egregiously incorrect post. The non-Catholics over at Get Religion sure do love pronouncing on Catholicism, don't they?
If Get Religion admits it is wrong, as it so often is, that would undermine tmatt's aura of infallibility. And nothing non-Catholics like more than infallibility.
That is pretty remarkable. When you're in the business of giving out advice on how to Get Things Right, you really ought to demonstrate some interest in getting things right yourself. Otherwise, why should anyone ever trust you?
Deep in my heart, I honestly feel that even though Pope Benedict XVI has resigned the papacy, he should not lose the God-given grace of his title as the Holy Father that was bestowed upon him when he was elected as pope in 2005. This grace from God, through the Holy Spirit, is his indelible mark that's meant to last forever! To me, his title as Holy Father should never be removed from him just because he resigned due to his weakened strength at age 85, which is no fault of his own. Whether he's living or dead, it's right, fair, and proper to call him Pope or Papa and Holy Father or Santo Papa.I know that its customary to destroy the papal ring of a pope when he dies, but Pope Benedict XVI's case is different. He's not dead. When it comes to his papal ring, it should only be destroyed when he dies because he always remains a pope in the eyes of God and His people: the Church, for the grace that he received from Him upon his election as pope. His election as Pope John Paul IIs successor was inspired by the Holy Spirit, not by man, so it should be left to the Holy Spirit to decide. May the Holy Spirit guide the conclave and the new pope to make the right decision on what to do with Pope Benedict XVI's papal ring and title as pope. Even though he has already resigned, he should not be ripped of his papal ring and title as pope or Holy Father! He should be allowed TO KEEP HIS PAPAL RING and RETAIN HIS HONORARY TITLE that he held before resignation or retirement and should be called Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. He should be addressed as His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI or Holy Father Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. God bless him always.
How 'bout sua sanctitas emerita?
Hi, Inday!I don't know how humans can know what actions by other humans impress indelible marks on one another's souls. We're taught that baptism makes an indelible mark: so why can't a pope who has stepped off the throne be called by the name he received in that sacrament? And we're taught that confirmation makes an indelible mark: so why can't a pope who has retired be called by the name he was given in that sacrament? Ordination, we're told, makes an indelible mark: is a priest given a new name in that sacrament? (Where are we taught that being elected to the papacy carries an indelible mark with it?)Jesus said, Call no man father. Should we disobey that clear command? As to the ring, the symbol of a pope's authority? I don't think it will be "ripped" from Joseph before it is ground to powder. Surely he will gladly surrender it. Maybe the gold dust that results from the grinding will be sold to benefit the homeless. (Or commingled with the gold used to cast the next Ring of the Fisherman.)
When Pope Benedict's resignation (renunciation) becomes effective he will return to being Rev. Father Joseph Ratzinger, Bishop of Rome, retired (emeritus). He won't any longer be able to teaching infallibly (and did not, in fact, do so while he occupied the office). I doubt very much that he will ever say anything publicly after the resignation and will certainly not offer opinions of anything his successor says or does. However, there will be a huge number of individuals who, for a while at least, will pronounce themselves as knowing the mind of the former Pope as they offer their opinions of the new one. Pope Benedict is acutely aware, I believe, that what he is doing will establish precedent for all future Popes for whom resignation will now be an exercisable option for whatever reason. I think he will largely not be heard from again, other perhaps than to wish the Church a Happy Easter or a Blessed Christmas from time to time. We should all be prepared to just leave the good man alone so that he can prepare for his passing from this world. Thank you, Lord, for this man's gifts to the Church.
Curious how the title of the pope is pointed out (rightly) to be non-ontological, but almost in the same breath people want to call him Cardinal Ratzinger. Cardinal isn't ontological either. The real problem is not what we call them, but whether they are relevant anymore to the Catholic people as a whole.
Why does it matter so much to so many people what Ratzinger will be called? It's as if they have some superstitious belief that religious symbols, especially titles, have magical powers, and so we shouldn't mess with them.
Grant Gallicho/David Gibson:Gosh, are non-Catholics not permitted to comment here, or even elsewhere? I wish someone had told me before I subscribed. As a newcomer here, I do not understand your explicit references above. It may very well be that what "the non-Catholics at Get Religion" have written are wrong, but is that because they are non-Catholics or simply because they erred? I trust that if we try to provide thoughtful comments, responses will be to the substance of the comments and not to one's religious affiliation. Surely the traditions of the community of Commonweal and the thouhtful peopel who write an dcomment here can manage the occassional thought from a non-Catholic?
I'm sure the Romans will call Benedict Papa Benedetto. The rest of us will call him Benedict. I doubt His Holiness gives a damn what we call him.
Ann: "Its as if they have some superstitious belief that religious symbols, especially titles, have magical powers, and so we shouldnt mess with them."Exactly the problem.Mark Logsdon: Welcome! As you are new here, perhaps context is needed. Get Religion is a conservative site run by an activist and columnist named Terry Mattingly. He is not Catholic, but sets himself up as someone who schools not only the media but Catholics (and others) with whom he disagrees. Obviously anyone can comment here or there on things Catholic, but when you set yourself up as the judge of all, and tell believers of other faiths why they are wrong -- and yet you yourself are wrong, as he often is -- then yes, you deserve to be corrected. He is considered something of a joke, but once in a while it is necessary to correct misinformation. Cheers.
David Gibson: Thanks for your welcome. I am a recent subscriber, perhaps not so new to Commonweal as it seems. My father (I am 64 years old) subscribed to Commonweal, among many other sources of information and analysis. I linked to Commonweal via Sullydish, and decided, as I did with the Dish, that I ought to pay my freight. That an academic should be pedantic and factually wrong on some range of matters is among the least surprising things we could find, I should think. Except perhaps for triumphalist versions of received religion; the combination is notably off-putting. I agree - of course - that correcting misinformation may be necessary for progress in debates, but would not Get Religion be the place to challenge his misinformation? In any event, if the error is Terry Mattingly's, then the issue is with him, rather than with non-Catholics.Onward.
Mark, yes, I think we agree -- the issue is with Mattingly rather than with all non-Catholic critics, certainly.In any event, you seem like an omnivore when it comes to reading material. All to the good, I think.
tmatt is quick to cut off comments that aren't dedicated to the way matters are reported ... unless he agrees with tangential comments, and then they can drone on incessantly.

Top Hot Spots for Germsby Lindsay Hutton
We all know germs and bacteria are almost everywhere, but where can you find the worst cases of the cooties? Check out this list of germ-laden culprits, and find out how you can protect your family without going overboard.
1 of 11
Bed Sheets
You probably don't think about it, but as you're climbing into bed, all the germs you came into contact with that day are climbing in with you. Keep in mind most germs are completely harmless, and can actually help strengthen your immune system, but that doesn't mean you should never wash your sheets. The sweat, skin, and bacteria that accumulate every night can make your bed the perfect spot for more harmful germs to breed.
It's a good idea to change your sheets about once a week. Wash them in warm or hot water with a regular detergent. Bleach or a bleach-alternative is also a good way to keep them sanitized.

New York leaves Hawaii in its wake in rating of top beaches
|A bike/walk path helps beach goers get from one end to the other of Duke Kahanamoku Beach. (Michael Goulding/Orange County Register/MCT)
Dr. Beach says he makes his picks based on more than 50 environmental and oceanographic criteria. But in all the years I've covered the contest, the greatest predictor of success was being the beach version of a bridesmaid the year before. So it was with Coronado Beach, the No. 2 in 2011 that moved into the top slot in 2012.
So it was with some certainty, at times perhaps a bit too smugly, I said the folks at Duke K. beach could begin cranking up the PR machine early.
Then the poll came out over Memorial Day weekend. Oops.
Duke Kahanamoku Beach was No. 2 - again. And the No. 3 beach - Main Beach in the Hamptons in New York - leapfrogged into the top spot.
In a rare move, Dr. Stephen Leatherman, the Florida oceanographer who goes by the nickname "Dr. Beach," had skipped over the front-runner in Hawaii to pick a beach on Long Island, an area ravaged by superstorm Sandy.
"The thing about the Hamptons is that people are so proud of their beaches out there," Leatherman told The Associated Press in an interview ahead of the release of his list. "People pick up their litter there, the bathrooms are clean; they provide good services."
Leatherman said he last visited Main Beach in early May. He said that unlike many beaches farther west on Long Island and in New Jersey, the beaches on eastern Long Island saw less erosion and flooding from the effects of Superstorm Sandy.
"Considering the magnitude of the storm, people will be very pleased to see that Main Beach is the way they remember it," he said.
I used to live in New York City and eastern Pennsylvania, so I've been to the Hamptons a few times, though not to Main Beach. The picture sent by the public relations folks looks like a Hallmark card. Cute, little, wooden fence running down to a beach with tufts of grass on margins.
People from California and other areas in the western coastal U.S. don't realize how lucky we have it when it comes to beach access. The new "best beach" is essentially private. Local residents can get on it for free. Anybody who doesn't live there has to pay $25 per day for parking - and only 40 nonlocal cars can be issued a permit.
There's talk in the Hamptons of making the restrictions even tighter. Residents there are less than thrilled with the attention their beaches are getting in the run-up to summer. The Sunday after Dr. Beach's announcement, The New York Times ran a front-page story that residents of the Hamptons are worried about an influx of people from New York City and New Jersey coming to their beaches because those closer to the cities were so heavily damaged by Sandy.
"As Boozy Invaders Hit Beach, Hamptons Sound a Snooki Alert" is how the headline put the pending crisis.
As always, I'll raise a red flag. Main Beach isn't the best beach in the country. It's not likely in the Top 20, even according to Leatherman.
This is the 23rd year for the survey. Leatherman uses criteria such as water and sand quality, as well as safety and environmental management, to compile his annual list. While the contest is heavily covered by news media as a kind of summer tourism beauty contest, Leatherman says its main function is to call attention to the impact of development and pollution on beaches.
The idea wouldn't work if the same beach won year after year. So win once, you are off the list. That means nearly two dozen beaches can't win.
Coronado Beach was the only California beach that made the top spot. In an interview in the Orange County Register several years ago, Leatherman said beaches in places like Santa Barbara, Ventura, Malibu, Orange County and San Diego County usually don't make the list because the water is too cold and pollution too high. It took more than 20 years for the home of the Beach Boys to get a beach on the list. Leatherman's criteria have resulted in the crown going to a lot of beaches in Hawaii and his local turf, Florida.
The other nine on Leatherman's 2013 list after Main Beach are: Duke Kahanamoku Beach, Waikiki, Hawaii; St. George Island State Park, Fla.; Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii; Waimanalo Bay State Park, Oahu, Hawaii; Barefoot Beach Preserve County Park, Bonita Springs, Fla.; Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Fla.; Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks, N.C.; Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Mass.; and Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.
It's his contest, so we'll give Dr. Beach the benefit of the doubt this year. But then it's Duke Kahanamoku Beach's turn. And we'd love it if the following year Hamoa Beach, on Maui near Hana, jumped past St. George Island State Park in Florida. That's the kind of surprise result I can get behind.

In our de Sitter phase, the cosmological constant is tiny. $10^{-123}M_P^4$. Suppose there is another phase with a lower vacuum energy. Is de Sitter phase still stable? The tunneling bubble radius has to exceed the de Sitter radius. Suppose a metastable decay to such a bubble happened. Take that final state, and evolve back in time. It's unlikely to tunnel back because of exponential suppression factors. Light cones are dragged outward in expanding de Sitter at such radii, so, by causality, the bubble radius has to keep shrinking back in time until at least the de Sitter radius. This contradicts our earlier assumption.
What about engineering a phase transition? Form a small bubble and stuff it with enough matter in the new phase with sufficient interior pressure to keep the bubble from shrinking. It collapses to a black hole if the radius R is much greater than $M_P^2/T$, which is much less than the de Sitter phase. The black hole then evaporates.
Even if the cosmological constant in the new phase is large and negative, the tunneling radius still has to be larger than the de Sitter radius because of the hyperbolic geometry of AdS means the volume of the new phase is only proportional to the domain wall area?
If we assume there is a large matter density in the de Sitter phase, it has to be very very large to make the tunneling radius smaller than the de Sitter radius.
Is this deSitter phase stable and not metastable?

Matcha White Chocolate Salted Caramel BonbonsOur Matcha White Chocolate Salted Caramel Bonbons are made by enveloping a lightly salted caramel center with matcha white chocolate. The faint flavor of salt enhances the caramel and chocola
[Makes about 25 chocolates]
Granulated Sugar.......................... 1/3 cup
Water............................................. 2 tbsp
Heavy Whipping Cream................. 1/2 cup
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha....... 1 tbsp
White Chocolate............................. 7 oz
Coarse Salt (sea or kosher)........... as needed
- Place the sugar and water in a pot over medium heat. Once it begins to change color and darken, gently swirl the pot around. Do not stir.
- Warm the heavy cream and add it little by little to the pot when the sugar and water take on a caramel color, swirling. After the mixture lightens and the cream is incorporated, take it off the heat and allow to cool.
- Roughly chop the chocolate, place in a bowl, and sift the matcha over it. Melt them together over a double boiler until smooth.
- Using any design mold you prefer, fill each mold with a small amount of the melted Matcha and chocolate. Turn the mold upside down over the bowl of melted chocolate to pour any excess back into the bowl. Make sure the sides of each mold are well coated in addition to the bottom. Place in the refrigerator and allow the shells to harden.
- Once hardened, remove from the refrigerator and pour a small amount of caramel into each chocolate shell (about 80% full). Sprinkle a few grains of salt into the caramel.
- Pour more chocolate to each mold to seal the shell around the caramel center. Allow to harden. Once hardened, remove from molds.
The Matcha used in this recipe is available in:

Looking for developer in Belgium
We're currently looking for an experienced ExtJS developer for the Antwerp (Belgium) region.
The product is our myMCS WebPortal suite, currently used in dozens of countries around the globe by all sorts of companies, including multinationals. It consists of a dozen modules: a room reservation system, a floorplan viewer (SVG-based), a self-check-in receptiondesk console, a helpdesk ticketing system, and more.
We're halfway through a migration of our web suite to ExtJS, and we need someone to help us migrate the rest, reinventing the UI as we go along. We also need to migrate over more functionality from our huge windows app suite, like our visual work planning tool, so you're guaranteed to have lots of interesting technical challenges in the years ahead. We're in the planning stages of a Sencha Touch product, so that's probably going to come up as well.
We would expect you to work at our offices in Wilrijk, Antwerp, as part of a team of web developers. The job requires a lot of independent and creative thinking to figure out the details of some vague requirement, so we're looking for people who are naturally inclined that way.
Pay is negotiable, and benefits include an employer-mandated happy hour at the company bar every friday afternoon.
If you're interested in this position, you can find out more details at:

Sea Point swimming pool named among Top 10 in the world
Anyone who has seen the film The Life of Pi (or read the book, of course) will know the significance a beautiful pool can have on a man's (or woman's) life. Just as the film's lead character was named after the beautiful Piscine Molitor in Paris, one would understand if, after just one dip in the beautiful Sea Point swimming pool, a man was moved to name his first born after its cool blue waters.
The Guardian's website reads about the pool: 'The Pavilion swimming pools in Cape Town are a local institution. You swim your lengths while watching super tankers moored alongside twirl on their anchors. Sometimes surf from the cold Atlantic Benguela current washes over the deck.'
"This is a great accolade for Cape Town and reaffirms our commitment to providing top quality public facilities where people can enjoy time with friends and family outdoors. The Sea Point swimming pool is one of our prize facilities and is an extremely popular destination for both tourists and locals," said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Special Projects, Alderman Belinda Walker.
Did you know that over 60 000 visitors will flock to the pool over the summer season (October to February)? On any given day in summer you'll find a colourful mix of locals and tourists soaking up the sun, professional and recreational swimmers ploughing up and down the pool, and people of all ages frolicking in the water.
Even during the the cold winter months, you'll find a few die-hards training as the year-round runners jog up and down the ocean front promenade. According to his blog, long-distance swimmer, Theodore Yach, does his best training at the Sea Point swimming pool.
Over the coming months, the City will spend R3 million on upgrading the Sea Point pool. Work will include essential maintenance to ensure that this pool remains a world-class facility: repairing the existing rim flows, reinforcing expansion joints, fibre lining the pool, and tiling of the steps.
Here's a collection of images of the beautiful Sea Point swimming pool, from our Flickr group.

KILLEEN (December 3, 2012) ---A new study of growth percentages found that between 2012 and 2017 the number of households in the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood area could increase by more than 7 per cent.
Pitney Bowes Software's inaugural Metro Magnets Index analyzed 384 U.S. metropolitan areas and found that 98 percent of them are expected to increase in the number of households.
The index projects that the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood area could gain 10,874 households over the next five years, which would give it the nation's third largest percentage growth in households for that time period.
A statement from the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce about the findings said the area currently has 145,575 households, with that number projected to increase to 156,043 by 2017.
That increase puts the Killeen area behind only Provo-Orem, Utah and Austin-Round Rock- San Marcos, both with a projected increases of 7.4 percent, and tied with Raleigh-Cary, N.C. for the nation's largest percentage increase among major metropolitan areas with at least 100,000 residents.
The statement also stated that along with the Austin and Killeen areas, San Antonio, Houston and McAllen/Mission should all have growth rates of more than 6.6 percent for the five-year period.

What happened in Aurora, Colorado proves that tragedy can strike victims anywhere.
Kansas agencies say they work to prepare in case any similar situation happens here.
Such events have lead to first responders being pro-active in preparing for situations ahead of time.
Employees at Stormont-Vail and the Topeka Police Department always hope for the best in these mass casualty situations but officials say, they certainly train for the worst.
Administrative Director at Stormont-Vail Angela Gamber says, "We try to drill our mass casualty plan several times a year. We recently did a drill with Fort Riley and we practiced with 17 patients."
The same aggressive approach is practiced by the topeka police department. Captain Brian Desch says, "The first thing we are thinking is care for the injured and protect human life. Training is ongoing, we have class and situational drills where we set up situations such as this where officers have to respond."
In response to the attack in the Aurora Theatre, AMC Theatres has issued a statement saying they will not allow guests into there theatres with costumes that make other guests feel uncomfortable and will not permit masks or fake weapons inside their buildings.

That I could create as a classical mechanics class project? Other than the classical examples that we see in textbooks (catenary, brachistochrone, Fermat, etc..)

Here is one I just made up, but it has a nice flavor--- suppose you have a 2-d bullet going very fast through a 2-d gas. The gas molecules reflects specularly off the bullet, making glancing collisions. What shape of bullet of a fixed area has the least drag?
This problem gives
$$\int {1\over 1+y'^2} + \lambda y dx $$
And the equation for y' you get is
$$ y' = \lambda x (1 - 2 y'^2 - y'^4) $$
$$ y = \int \lambda x ( 1 - 2 y^2 - y^4) $$
Which you can solve in a series by plugging in $y={\lambda x^2\over 2}$ and iterating a few times using the relation above as a recursion.
While studying classical mechanics I did the following simulation:
Here is what I've got in the end:
Here $\alpha = -200, p_1 = (0,-5)$ and $p_2 = (0.17,-0.17)$.
Red and green lines are real trajectories in the potential and the black line is my "test trajectory". So one can see that the simple random walk in parameter space can find some of the real paths of the body.

What filters are good and why?
To Summarise
This is an attempt to summarise the widely-held opinions of photographers in general.
I hope this is a fair and sensitive summary ;)
Filters that are useful for digital photography:
Whether you should buy any of these depends entirely on what sort of photography you plan on doing and what your budget is!
Other popular filters for film use such as coloured filters have limited use in digital photography, see this question for more details: http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/586/are-colour-filters-worth-using-with-digital-cameras
One important thing to have in addition to filters is an assortment of stepping rings. This way you can primarily invest in filters of a single size, say 77mm and have inexpensive stepping rings to use these filters on your 72mm, 67mm, 58mm, 52mm lenses.
"So why should I buy a UV filter or any other filter for that matter?"
You don't need to buy a UV filter, or any other filter, here is why you would want to use a UV filter specifically:
Now I'd say 99% of people who put a UV filter on their lens aren't doing it because of that, they're using it as a layer of protection for the front element of the lens. Its true, it'll prevent fingers jamming into the element and children's sneezes from getting all over it but there are also downsides which are illustrated in that wikipedia article. Namely flaring and quality degradation.
Me personally? I don't use UV filters as all-the-time protection on my lenses anymore (don't want flaring etc), I got a stack of them collecting dust on a shelf. I bust one out if I'm taking the lens to the ocean or something and anticipate spray but thats about it.
At the least, I get a clear filter (Hoya usually, sometimes Nikon) just to help protect the lens from surprises that include:
It puts one cheap peace of glass in front of much more expensive glass. A friend of mine had a $500 prime bite the dust when a passing car kicked up a small rock. What are the chances?? But it does happen.
As for the other filters, it depends entirely on what you are shooting. I usually carry a warming filter, a grad, and maybe a UV depending on what I'm doing. Most of the time, I just leave them at home, with the exception of the clear / protective filter.
Again, its not so much the body, but the lens and the conditions you are shooting in.
I think a polarizing filter is pretty darn necessary. It allows you to manipulate bright sky, water, and clouds in ways that are immediately evident and cannot be fully replicated in post-processing.
If you get a screw-on filter (e.g. a polariser) then you should get a good quality coated one. With digital cameras, the sensor is very reflective, so light entering the camera has a tendency to bounce off the sensor and back off the filter, causing a ghosting effect. This is reduced/eliminated with a coated filter. Note also that a polariser also acts as a 1-2 stop neutral density filter so you will need wider apertures or slower shutter speed/ISO to counter the effect.
Neutral density graduated filters are also very useful, as even though the effect can be reproduced in PP, you will retain more detail in highlit areas using the physical filter. Recovering a blown sky in post risks a weird 'grey border' effect, where saturated highlights that were originally blue become pure white, and when darkened in post turn an incongruous grey. I'm a big fan of getting it right in camera as much as possible, but that's not to say you should NEVER make adjustments afterwards.
There are no "must have" filters. In fact I would recommend that you don't get any. If you are a new photographer you have a lot to learn in terms of exposure, how to operate your camera.
It's all too easy to think that the next piece of gear will allow you to get great shot. But the gear is just a tool. You need to learn the tools and be good at using them. And getting too many tools at the same time just adds to the confusion.
So instead I would recommend spending the money on books helping you in the learning process.
I'm gonna go out on a bit of a limb and say there are no filters that you must have!
I personally think UV filters are a waste of money, if you think you need it for protection, just be more careful...
I have a circular polariser that I use more than anything else, but to be honest, I only use that for photos of water and clouds etc which I find to be the most boring photos anyway.
Save your money for some nice glass :)
I'm with the no filter crowd. I prefer the higher quality you get without a filter. Glare reduction with a polarizing filter may be the only exception. Darkening of the sky with a polarizing filter can be achieved often by use of various layer modes in Photoshop, etc.
As for protection. I've dropped a $1800 70-200 2.8 IS lens and the lens hood took the hit with no damage to the lens. I have lens hoods on all lenses, but no filters.
Just a clear filter for protection and to allow you to clean it without having to touch the actual surface of the lens. That's my advice.
Neutral density filters have been mentioned because their effect is arguably not possible to be added in post-processing. The polarizer has also been mentioned because its effect is not possible to be added in post.
For completeness, another filter whose effect can arguably not be replicated is the graduated neutral density filter. A graduated neutral density filter is clear on one end and a ND filter on the other, allowing the photographer to modify only a portion of the scene. This is particularly important because it can allow the camera to record an otherwise blown-out area of the scene, and therefore can't be fixed in post -- if detail wasn't recorded, it can't be improved.
The result of using a graduated ND filter can be recreated in post by taking several exposures and combining them in Photoshop, though the result typically ends up looking a little more like tone-mapped/HDR results.
UV Filters are a must have in my book, for protections sake.

Not sure how many of you, if any, bothered to give the show a try after all, but CBC has renewed Republic of Doyle for a second season. Production starts in June for a Jan 2011 debut.
I just finished Episode 10 and i'm having a ball with it. It's great to see a "Newf" show that doesn't cater to the classic view of our fine province. Also great to see some of the old crowd i hung around with for years doing well and getting such great word of mouth.

Kingston, R.I. - Behind a dominating effort on the boards and solid team defense, the Charlotte 49ers (14-2, A-10: 2-0) defeated Rhode Island (5-10, A-10: 0-2), 58-50 on the road.
"It was a classic Atlantic 10 basketball game," Charlotte coach Alan Major said. "Our guys learned a good lesson today about bringing the energy that the game requires. In the first half, I thought Rhode Island set the tone. In the second half, we set the tone. We were the exactly the type of team we should be particularly on the defensive end."
DeMario Mayfield led the 49ers with 17 points off the bench. Willie Clayton recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Chris Braswell scored nine points for the 49ers.
Charlotte finished the game with a 45-25 advantage in rebounds. Clayton led the 49ers with 13 rebounds. Pierria Henry tallied 10 rebounds.
The 49ers limited Rhode Island, who shot 52% in the first half, to 26.9% shooting in the second half. The 49ers defense limited the Atlantic 10 second leading scorer Xavier Munford, who averages 18.0 points per game, to eight points on 3-for-12 shooting from the field.
Rhode Island began the game by scoring 13 of the game's first 18 points taking a 13-5 lead at the 13:39 mark.
With Rhode Island leading 21-14 at the 9:52 mark, the 49ers went on a 7-2 run over the next four minutes cutting Rhode Island's lead to two points when Terrence Williams makes two free throws with 5:33 left in the first half.
Darion Clark scored inside on a tough basket cutting Charlotte's deficit to 24-23 with 3:41 on the clock.
Rhode Island scored six straight points taking a 30-23 lead with 2:16 on the clock. The 49ers scored seven of the first half's final eight points cutting Rhode Island's halftime lead to 31-30. JT Thompson scored inside for the first half's final basket with 46 seconds on the clock.
Rhode Island scored the first six points of the second half taking a 37-30 lead with 17:03 on the clock.
Then, the 49ers went on a 20-7 run over the next 10 minutes taking a 50-44 lead with seven minutes on the clock. Mayfield scored inside at the 9:32 mark giving the 49ers the lead for good, 46-44 with 9:32 on the clock.
Charlotte closed out the victory with timely free throw shooting by E. Victor Nickerson, Braswell and Mayfield over the final five minutes of the game. Six of Charlotte's final eight points came off free throws. Clayton closed out the game's scoring with a dunk at the buzzer.
Charlotte returns home to play Fordham in Halton Arena, Wednesday, January 16 at 7:30 pm.

If you have ever tried to look up a number such as the volume of a cell, the outer membrane width of E. coli or the cellular concentration of ATP, you will like BioNumbers, a database of biological numbers.
It is often surprising how difficult it can be to find concrete biological numbers, even for properties that have been measured numerous times. To help solve this for one and all, BioNumbers (the database of key numbers in molecular biology) was created. Along with the numbers, you'll find the relevant references to the original literature, useful comments, and related numbers.
Though we have made an honest first try at simplifying the process of finding useful biological numbers, there is still much work to be done. A key challenge is filling in the large number of missing items. Another challenge involves setting up a reliable and discriminating search engine which on a first try yields the numbers a user is actually interested in finding.

we're on itunes
Yippee!!! We've uploaded our audio slideshows and instructional videos to itunes. They appear as a podcast named "Knit with Berroco". Search for Berroco or Cirilia or Norah in the itunes store.
This is so exciting for me. Being on itunes feels so legitimate. Maybe that's silly but, in any case, it's a convenient and easy way to access information. I'm really into itunes and hulu these days, since I decided to go without cable TV. I've been knitting away each night, watching/ listening to shows like Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life, How the Earth was Made" (geology is SO COOL), the Colbert Report, Iconoclasts, and my continuing favorite, the nerd spy, Chuck.

Just got the Berroco email with the blossom baby cardi. It looked cute and a possibility for my queue until I read through the pattern. A buttonband knitted separately and sewn on is a deal breaker for me for a baby cardi.May 8, 2009
Nice video! I had a wonderful visit to Berroco yesterday. Thanks for the hospitality! We'll be updating our blog in a day or two with some text & pictures. I'll add a link to your itunes announcement.
LOVE internet videos for learning knitting techniques. Two dimensional illustrations of needles & stitches just don't seem to be decoded well by this brain. Without videos I NEVER would have learned to do kitchener stitch (and forget about magic cast-on!).

I'm basically new to the whole idea of Cocos2d.. i am aware of CocosDhension.. however, i still cant get the idea of working around it..
My idea, i would like to try to create something like "Tap Tap" .. a simple game.. where music is played and notes fall till the points where u have to hit the notes.
Question: where do i start from here as i have no idea how to go around this.. i have a basic logic in my head whereby i analyze the beat of the music and drop the notes accordingly?
can someone please give me a head up about this?
help is much appreciated!

In 27 BC, the Senate gave Gaius Julius Caesar the title Augustus. I am assuming that as the senate gave him that title, the motion must have been proposed by someone at the senate floor. Do we know, reliably, who proposed that motion? Do we know how many people opposed it and supported it and how many (if any) senators abstained from voting?
Octavian who would later become Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus:
My answer really focuses on the why as much as the who, because the reality may have been that in many ways he gave himself the title.
Octavian returned from Egypt with a wealth of treasure and a serious wealth of power. He was respected by his legions, of which he was commander of all sixty of them. Upon his return his fellow Romans believed they had seen the end of war and strife, and they hailed him as the Prince of Peace and benefactor of mankind. Octavian understood the importance of ensuring the people of Rome that he was benevolent. He certainly did not want to meet a similar demise to that of his great-uncle Gaius Julius Caesar (adopted father). So began a massive effort in religious renewal. Octavian restored 82 temples in one year alone. Also, there were grand new buildings like the Theatre of Apollo, and the Horologium. Octavian's right hand man Agrippa, too, embarked on several major building projects. Among these were the Pantheon, later rebuilt by Hadrian. Agrippa also repaired the city's water system and added two new aquaeducts, the Aqua Julia and the Aqua Virgo (Octavian famously quoted "I found rome of clay; I leave it to you of Marble") Rome was happy and Octavian had marble and possibly more importantly religion. Religion could be manipulated to suit the ambitions of Octavian and those he had given power to. Before we get to "those he had given power to" lets finish the topic of religion. Octavian recognized his prominence and equally recognized that without some shrewd decision making he had nowhere to go but down in regards to said prominence. His efforts to renew religious vigor throughout Rome would grant him a buffer during bad times and though one could assume that during good times he wouldn't receive the glory; they would be mostly wrong. Back to "those he had given power". The first form of "given" power would be the priesthood. Restoring temples meant restoring priests, of which Octavian had both subtle and secure power over. The second form and most noticeable to those with nobility was the purge and restoration of the senate. In 27 BC Octavian is famous for transferring power back to the Senate, but what really happened? The following two snippets do a great job of explaining this.
So in 29 BC two years prior to his "benevolent" action of giving up the power he ensured that he indeed would not really be giving up anything, well at least not in terms of power (He "had" religion and he had the Senate). It should also be noted that 29 BC was not the only time he reduced the number of Senators.
If you absolutely had to break this down into one person other than Octavian himself who would have been responsible for the title of Augustus being handed out, I would suggest that person was Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. Agrippa was "his right hand man" but possibly even more important he was Octavian's highest military aid, closest consul, son in law, and soon after their return to Rome, a member of the Senate. That being said, Agrippa was just one of about 800 members in the senate at that time.
According to Cassius Dio:
What I would interpret from this is that while a number of people may have made suggestions on Octavian's new title, he was the one who really decided upon it and the Senate vote would have been pretty much a formality.
Cassius Dio does not record how the Senate voted on the matter, although it would be odd for there to have been any voices of dissent when they were not present on the more significant matter of granting him his powers. There is also no record of who suggested the name in the first place or who put the motion up in the Senate. I would consider Agrippa to be an unlikely candidate for the latter given that Octavian would not have lacked sycophants who could have done so instead and having his closest ally make the proposal would not have been in keeping with his habit of making honours look as though they were voluntarily bestowed by a grateful Senate rather than actively sought.

Football notebook: Pinho well received at Woodland
Woodland Regional High senior wide receiver Jack Pinho just scratched the surface of his potential last season, securing 24 receptions for 270 yards and a single touchdown.
But through two games this year, he is steadily becoming one of quarterback Tanner Kingsley's most dependable receivers. Last Friday, he caught five passes for 80 yards and connected with quarterback Tanner Kingsley for a 50-yard TD in a 40-6 win over Crosby.
A week earlier in a nonleague win over Branford, Pinho had five receptions for 60 yards.
"It's not easier this year because there is a lot more attention on me," said Pinho. "But I do feel a lot more confident, especially having Tanner as our quarterback. He gets better and better every game."
So does Pinho, who stands only 5-foot-8 and weighs just 120 pounds.
"I'm not a big-play receiver," said Pinho. "My job is to get positive yards and get first downs." And he's doing that.
Pinho is just following the example of his 20-year-old brother, Jake, a 2010 Woodland graduate and Central Connecticut State University walk-on football player who plays safety.
'Jake has been such a huge influence on me," said Pinho. "He's not the biggest player ever in high school, but he showed people you could still get it done. He's a great role model for me. He comes to every one of my games and finds a way during his busy schedule at college and is always on the sidelines with us. Jake tells me to use my speed and work hard on every play and that will make a difference."
Pinho also uses the influences of his mother Jane and his late father, George, who passed away last January unexpectedly at the age 48. George Pinho was Hawks' head freshmen football coach and varsity assistant. The Woodland players wear a decal with the G.P. initials on their helmet.
"I have more of a passion for the game now," said Pinho. "When something like that happens, at least for me, it was, it taught me to play harder and appreciate things even more. My dad is the guy I'm playing for. Every time I run onto the field, I go down to the other side of the field, take a knee and say a prayer to my dad. He was always there trying to help me become better, no matter what. I didn't have my license last year, so we would go home every night after practice and games together. Those rides were the best."
In our thoughts: Holy Cross sophomore two-way lineman Tyler Cremin of Southbury didn't play against Derby Friday. Cremin's father, Tim, died Friday morning at age 45 from cancer.
Tim Cremin was an active member of Southbury youth sports as a coach. His funeral will be held at Sacred Heart Church in Southbury on Tuesday at 11 a.m. The calling hours are Monday, from 4-8 p.m., at Sacred Heart Chapel.
By the numbers: St. Paul senior quarterback Logan Marchi of Winsted has thrown for 746 yards and six TDs in two games. Last season, he threw for 3,056 yards and 38 TDs and tossed for 526 yards in a game. In 24 career starts, Marchi has thrown for 7,349 yards and 80 TDs. This season, Tanner Kingsley has thrown for 592 yards and 10 TDs in two games. As a junior, Kingsley set a single-season, state record with 51 TDs with 3,227 yards. Kingsley has the state record for a single game performance with 615 yards versus Seymour in 2012.
Quote of the Week: "Michael Kreiger makes plays and keeps plays alive with his feet and arm; He makes things happen."—Holy Cross coach Mike Giampetruzzi on Derby QB after accumulated over 300 yards of total offense and intercepted a fourth-quarter pass on defense in Red Raiders' 19-14 win.
History lesson: The unbeaten 1959 Croft football team (8-0-1), winners of the Waterbury City championship and the Naugatuck Valley League championship, will be honored at halftime of Kennedy's Oct. 25 Friday night game with Watertown at Municipal Stadium. Game-time is 7.
Members of the team and cheerleaders will be in attendance. For more information, call Dick Yuskas at 203-710-0499 or email him at email@example.com. Yuskas was a team captain and quarterback of Croft.
Mills fundraiser: The Lewis Mills High Football Booster Club is hosting their first Community Pig Roast and barbecue at Winding Trails in Farmington Oct. 13, from 12-6 p.m.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and $10 for children under/inner 12. For information, call Robert Dunn at 860-593-3053 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also contact Sharon McHale by email at email@example.com or Shelley Watts at firstname.lastname@example.com.
