At a pope's deathbed
Those of us of a certain age will remember that fifty years ago today Pope John XXIII lay dying. Here is what I wrote in a piece published some years ago in Commonweal:
Several times in his writings Pope John quoted a description of St. Martin: "he neither feared to die nor refused to live." The sentence conveys what is called "holy indifference," an attitude of utter openness to the will of God. For the last fifteen years of his life, the idea that his death could be near is a frequent theme in his notes. He prayed that he would be able to endure pain. When in fact his final illness came upon him (doctors diagnosed his stomach cancer in October 1962 but do not seem to have told him), he was ready. His notes detail the onset of the difficulties, embarrassments, and sufferings of his disease ("How do you feel, Holy Father?" he was asked. "Like St. Lawrence on the grill," he replied.), until on May 31, 1963, his secretary, Msgr. Loris Capovilla, fulfilled a promise he had made long before and told him: "Holy Father, I am now performing the same duty that you performed for Msgr. Radini at the end of his life. The hour has come; the Lord is calling you." The press was informed and, as older people will remember, it seemed that the whole world gathered in a vigil around his deathbed.
At 7:00 on the evening of June 3rd, the Monday after Pentecost, a Mass was celebrated for Pope John in St. Peter's Square below the apartment where we knew he lay dying. Half full as it began, the square was crowded by the time it ended. Around 7:40 the Ite missa est was chanted and we began to sing "Ubi caritas et amor ibi Deus est." Above in his room, where the hymn could be heard, John XXIII trembled for an instant and peacefully died.
The days that followed were a remarkable tribute to the person and the work of Pope John. The paradox of mourning the death of a pope was noted by more than one Protestant. The universal grief was a first testimony in the process that this year will pass a major milestone when Pope John Paul II beatifies him and confirms the Gospel peace and freedom that characterized the serene man and defined his bold ministry.

Angelo Roncalli, Papa Giovanni, was arguably the greatest apostle since Peter and Paul. A true genius of the human heart, I doubt that we shall see his like again for at least another millenium.
Blessed John XXIII, pray for us!
Pope John acceptance of the suffering of his last illness confirmed for us that the grace of God can indeed enable us to endure all things, even great suffering.
Such grace is reaffirmed yet again in an article I just read in a (gasp!) highly conservative blog. It's about a girl from MacLean VA, Margaret Leo, who died six years ago. She was only 14. She was born with spina bifida, and the attempts to alleviate her condition resulted only in very great and constant suffering. However, all who knew her (from a Supreme Court Justice on down) agreed that she bore the pain without complaining, not even to her parents. From the tender age of three she was known to be a lover of God, and throughout her short life everyone agreed that she radiated love of God and man. Already some miracles have been attributed to her intervention.
Her father, Leonard Leo, is one of the most conspicuous and powerful political conservatives in Washington, D. C. I bring this up because, I'm ashamed to say, when i read that Margaret's father is an ultraconservative, I re-acted immediately as a good knee-jerk liberal would, saying to myself: "A saint produced in such an ultra-conservative household? Not bloody likely!!" But I did quickly realize that that was an awful, uncharitable thing to think -- as if a conservative couldn't raise a saint. So I've decided to start my own little devotion to Margaret, asking her to help me be more objective about conservatives. I'm sure she'll help.
And maybe some others amongst the Commonwealers might want to ask for the same assistance from her. (N. B. I'm including you conservatives here as well -- you ain't no lilies !!) (Oops, there I go again . . . Holy Margaret Leo, help me understand and appreciate the conservatives! And, dear Pope John, do help me too!
Oops again == Here's the address at Austin Ruse's blog:
Dying seems like such a private thing, its hard to conceive of someone leaving the world so publicly. Did ti help the Pope havng the world with him do you think? Did he know? Did it matter to him?
Why did doctors not tell him?
JP II suffered greatly at the end, and quite publicly at times. He wanted to inspire people to accept the will of God even when it hurt. I thought he was sort of amazing.
In the pantheon of world leaders, it may be that this willingness to suffer and die so publicly is almost unique to the papacy. Most heads of state perpetually need to be looking over their shoulder at political enemies and/or foreign enemies, and don't have the luxury of displaying weakness. "When I am weak, it is then I am strong" is very counter-intuitive in those circles.
I think it's a a little bit sad. Once you take that job, your life's not your own any more, not even your dying.
In the news about this anniversary:
your life's not your own any more
That much seems pretty normal to me. Isn't it how it's supposed to be for priests and religious in general? That's also true for many mothers: you'd lay down your life for your children in an instant, wouldn't you? Not easy for me, perhaps, but straightforward for more than one person I know.
When I graduated Catholic grammar school, I was given rosary beads blessed by Pope John XXIII. Today I still have this rosary and cherish it not because it has any special blessing but because it symoblizes the life and foresight of this great pope.
It is perplexing to me how various popes in the last part of the 20th century are called "Blessed", while at the same time they can be at opposite poles in terms of the path forward for the Church. Pope John XXIII's crowinging acheivement was Vatican II, yet many of the reforms called for, in particular collegiality, have never been adquately implemented because they were not the opinion of both John Paul II or Benedict XVI. IMO, more collegiality would have meant that decision making would move from:
> the Pope with the Roman Curia in a quasi-decision making role, and the Bishops of the World in a consultative role and little or no role for theologians and laity...
> the Pope with the Bishops of the World in a quasi-decision making role, and the Roman Curia in a purely consultative role, along with theologians and the laity.
Blessed Pope John XXIII, pray for us.
". . . many of the reforms called for, in particular collegiality, have never been adquately implemented because they were not the opinion of both John Paul II or Benedict XVI."
What were the positions on collegiality of Woytila and Ratzinger during the Council? Where did they stand then? And what about Pope John XXIII -- did he have anything to say about collegiality?
JAK, if you're reading this, do you know?
NCR has the Pope's reflections on Pope John's death; he remembers,too, the days as the Pope lay dying . http://ncronline.org/news/vatican/pope-john-xxiiis-life-shows-faith-leads-interior-peace-pope-says
Ann: Your questions are too big for my to answer hurriedly. I'm on my way out the door for travels for the next several days. I'll try to reply when I get back.
Thanks, JAK. Have a good trip.
Below is an excellent article on the opinions of Wojtyla/JP II and Ratzinger/Benedict XVI on the Vatican II's collegialty. www.catholicapologetics.info/modernproblems/vatican2/renew2.html
Note Ratzinger/Benedict's reversal of opinion and JP II's definitive declaration cementing the centrality of power and authority in the papal office and Roman Curia and killing any sense of collegialtiy.
Pope John XXIII died before Vatican II ended, but IMO he would have endorsed the reforms proposed.
The article is accessible as shown below.

I also am uncomfortable with fast-track sainthood for popes. Some will consider this and believe it is because the popes are so holy. Some, and I have to include myself among these cynics, will see it as all too cozy for what is probably the world's most exclusive old boys' club. A bit of feathering one's own eternal nest, To my skeptical mind I have to wonder how likely the move to call JPII, "John Paul the Great" was a conscious or unconscious option for s later Benedict the Great.
No one can know another's motivations, and i can't measure another by the light of my own life experiences; but I do know I usually, maybe always, have more than one motive for acts and omissions. The older verssion of the Act of Contriition acknowledges repentence is motivayed at least in part by wishing to avoid the loss of heaven and the pain of hell.. The later version glosses over it.
When considering further pope canonizations, I hope the Holy Father will remember what Lord Acton had to say in regard to the absolute power of the pope: that is corrupts absolutely.
We are taught one is to avoid not only evil but the appearance of evil. Avoiding scandal has confounded the administrations of the last two papacies and much of rest of the Roman Catholic hierarchy and even some of the clergy.. A future pope will wish earnestly to avoid even the appearance of cronyism and corruption, lest faithful Catholics continue to abandon the institutional RCC in favor of other Christian bodies that seem closer to the life and teachings of Jesus and perhaps that seem willing and better able to allow the Holy Spirit to blow where She will.
Maya Angelou reminds us that "he who never visits thinks his mother is the only cook." Catholics who never visit outside the RCC, becuase they are admonished that it is sinful to take part in non-Catholic worship, think Holy Mother is the only one who can set God's table and provides the only way to God's heart.
Teachings like this, also, can give scandal, especially to well-educated Catholics who tend to see such teachings as the self serving nonsense of the man behind the curtain, another Wizard of Oz, when we have had so many already.
Please, dear future Bishops of Rome, take a lesson from the Emperor. Don't become the Pope who has no clothes. The world is always watching, especially skeptics like me. Be one of the few exceptions to Lord Acton's rule. No more Saint Pope causes for a century or two -- until another real pope, a man or woman of extraordinary holiness, humble leadership, a pastor with wisdom worthy of a Solomon -- another John XXIII . Then maybe, just maybe another Saint Pope will justify the rationale: That s/he was so holy. I don't judge any of the popes as good or bad. That's God's business, not mine.
I like the thought that the two living popes both took the names of founders of orders--A Jesuit named from Assisi not Xavier. Next we could have a Dominican who takes the name Ignatius of a Mercy who becomes Pope Claire.
Yikes! No spell check; and something prevented me from copying my blog into Word so I could check my spelling and catch my typos. I am a terrible typist and find, with spell check, my spelling skills have slipped bdly. Help, Commonweal. Spell check, please.
Michael B. ==
Thanks for the Fox article. Yes, isn't it ironic, as Fox points out, that Benedict's insistence on maintaining the exorbitant power of the papacy led to its crushing most of his own energy out of him, and thus it led to his own abdication..
Regardless of the topic, be it catechesis, sexual ethics, evil and sin, culture, etc, the issue always boils down to living the truth. This is why I find it irresponsible and profoundly hypothetical to make an argument about the truth from "authority" when this very authority smothers the majority of voices of the body of Christ, in partiuclar the bishops as a quasi-decision making group with the pope. Instead, we have the pope and those who he picks in the Roman Curia that advise him on important matters of doctrine. They have the same philosophy and never challenge his authority of decisions. Where is diversity? Where are the voices of the bishops, theologians and the laity as a collected body?
Do we not have inconsistency and contradiction between the word, as in doctrine, and practice, as in pastoral advice? Does this not fuel individualism, one of the very reasons that the Church claims is causing non-reception and that lead them into sin. If the average Catholic is getting mixed messages and the answers they get to concrete cases are both in tension with human experience and their informed consciences, then Catholics naturally turn to their God-given reason and intellect to discern what to do.
If Catholics do not obey Church teachings, the Church says they are infected with a diabolic evil from our Western secular culture that prevents them from grasping the truth. One could equally argue that a diabolical evil infected many clergy who sexually abuse children, caused JP II and Cardinal Ratzinger from dealing with the profound evidence and sinful horrors against Marcial. What good I ask turns the heads of cardinals, bishops and Rome from dealing with inconsistency and contradiction? What type of Church do we have where all the power and authority rests in the pope and the Roman Curia, and Vatical II's call to collegiality has been deliberately undermined?
Michael B. --
Once again the problem of contradictory teachings rears its ugly head. I see the Vatican's claim that it cannot err in matters of dogma as one of the great problems in the contemporary Church. The whole question of infallibility, even in a restricted sense, is one big mess.
Thank you for your words, Jim Jenkins.
I was out of college a year when John XXIII died, a few months shy of getting married.
His reign was a true light marked by our burning hearts.
Some years later a Jewish classmate visited us with her husband and brought a large book with text of Pacem in Terris interspersed with photographs by some of the world's great photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ansel Adams. It's been gathering dust for 45 years but I just found it.
"Every human being has the right to honor God according to the dictates of an upright conscience."
Michael B, let me suggest benign neglect or indifference may be warranted when authority is so distorted in practice: "If Catholics do not obey Church teachings, the Church says they are infected with a diabolic evil from our Western secular culture that prevents them from grasping the truth." Noisy gongs or theological bullying sometimes?
Prayerful consideration of what living the truth means, when words resonate deeply, carries more meaning for me.
A few days ago I saw a press photo of Papa Francesco kneeling in prayer at the shrine of J23rd along the nave in the Basilica di San Pietro in Rome. The photo captures essentially the image left in my memory - a remanent of my family vacation in Italy just a few years ago.
This altar reliquary of J23rd's remains was the only place in the cavernous basilica where pilgrims could pause in devotion, kneel, light a candle, and remember the great apostle who was entombed there. I lingered there for quite awhile contemplating the waxed enclosed remains of an old man's dreams and visions that once stirred the world's imagination of what our world could be with his encyclical, Pacem in Terris.
I remember reflecting that there amid all those other grandiose and overblown side-altar monuments to other lesser pontiffs - who were probably consumed with the idea that they personally were indispensable to the church and the Gospel - that the People, the "folks in the pews," had many years ago already improbably proclaimed this man as their saint.
The People had usurped the customary traditional hierarchs' role in recognizing their saint. No wonder that the dons in the Vatican had moved the bodily remains of Papa Giovanni from the crypt so that more 'folks' could easily come physically close to their venerable patron.
The spirit of Angelo Roncalli still enfuses the People all these years later in the opening words of the Vatican2 document, Lumen Gentium - the Light of the Nations!
Carolyn Disco -- I completely agree with what you said if you permit me some lattitude: "Every human being has the right to honor God according to the dictates of an upright (informed) conscience." Nevertheless, there is much more to this pith saying to ensure it does not mislead Catholics into thinking that they can decide which doctrines and articles of faith suits their needs.
I don't think it is benigh neglect of indifference may be warranted when authority is so distorted in practice. That would demean the intelligence and spiritual integrity of thoses priests who disagree with certain Church teachings. I don't think they would characterize what they are doing as "neglect" be it benign or indifferent. The problem is not that pastoral practices are in contradiction with some Church teachings. The problem is that that hierarchy does nothing to correct it. Make no mistake about what I am saying. I disagree as do many priests with certain teachings. My point is that if the hierarchy is claiming that certain teachings are the truth, eternal law, God's will, and a moral absolute, then they are being hypocritical in knowing that many priests (e.g. 40%-45% or more depending on country) disagree and council parisioners accordingly, yet they don't have the courage to enforce obedience due to the consequences.
The hierarchy will be quick to tell Catholics that some teachings require courage and fortitude as many of our ancient fathers went to their deaths in standing firm in their faith. Yet, at the same time, where is their courage and fortitude in bringing clergy to justice that sexually abused children and those in hierarchy that covered up such crimes? Where is the courage and fortitude in standing firm regardless of consequences and enforcing teachings claimed to be the truth and a moral absolute? Could they fear the closing of more parishes due to a lack of weekly contributions caused by more Catholics leaving the Church? What is wrong with a smaller Church as Pope Benedict XVI often has said.
We may neve see the reform that is needed in our Church for decades, and there is much truth in what you say: "Prayerful consideration of what living the truth means, when words resonate deeply, carries more meaning for me." Would it not be much better if we had a Church solidified than divided?
Sorry not to catch responses earlier; hope the thread is still active.
Michael Barberi: I appreciate your response, but let me be quick to indicate that the quote "Every human being..." is not mine, but from Pacem in Terris. I should have made that more clear.
As to: "The problem is not that pastoral practices are in contradiction with some Church teachings. The problem is that that hierarchy does nothing to correct it." But, but might there be some hesitation on their part, some instinct that may reflect an uncertainty that they dare not admit either openly or to themselves? Is some other grace at work?
A unified church is much better than a divided one, but truly I wonder if in most periods of church history there has been as much uniformity, or even unity, as we surmise. If the church is an organic reality, then discussion, change and transformation are always part of the historical process.
The bitterness of today's divide is sad and burdensome, yet the Spirit must prevail enough to see us through. Maybe that smaller church would not be all we suspect. I still like the scent of James Joyce's "here comes everybody."
Carolyn Disco,
I believe we are on the same page but for nuances. If bishops have some hesitation or uncertainty with a teaching, and this is the reason why they don't correct inconsistency and contradiction, then this is indicative of a much larger problem.
I have no statisitcs that can serve as a measure of divisiveness within the Church of the past to the Church today. What I do know is that the issues today cut a wide divide across the general laity, theologians and priests. The confidence in the hierarchy is likely at an historic low.
Nevertheless, the Catholic Church will survive this crisis in truth because the Holy Spirit guides us all to the truth. This will take time and we are all called to practice patience quickened by love.
Sad news from Vatican City. Apparently the health of our Emeritus Pope Benedict is delining quickly, or so report some friends who have visited him. See for instance the Washington Post,
Ann, I hope that you are wrong and that those are just unfounded rumors. Now that pope Francis seems to be asserting himself, I like the idea of the pope going for a walk in the Vatican gardens and encountering a former pope warming himself in the sun. After a lifetime of studying, working, arguing, scheming, strategizing, deciding, how strange it must seem to be just relaxing.
Claire --
I suspect that the reports are well-founded. When Benedict resigned I expected him to perk up when the load was finally lifted from his shoulders. Instead he looked much worse. Maybe it's mainly psychological, though. It must be hard for him to see those awful secrets being revealed. Plus, being human, he must feel like something of a failure when he sees the thoroughly positive reaction Pope immediately inspired. Or maybe he just needs new doctors. But I can't really believe he has incompetent ones. Whatever the reason, I dare say he needs prayers.

Chemo Before or After Surgery
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
When is it appropriate to get chemo before surgery versus after?
Suzanne Walker CRNP, MSN, AOCN, Nurse Practitioner for Thoracic Malignancies at Penn Medicine responds:
Most people will receive their chemotherapy after surgery ("adjuvant therapy"). Some people may receive their chemotherapy before surgery in certain circumstances such as when the tumor is too large or in a particular location that would make surgery difficult or impossible. In these cases, "neoadjuvant" (before surgery) chemotherapy may help to shrink the tumor and make the operation feasible.

Brown Deer boys rally to earn share of Woodland title
It's like Brown Deer boys basketball coach Kelly Appleby said:
Well, the Falcons clinched a share of the Woodland Conference Eastern Division title Tuesday night with probably their best quarter of the year, as they erased an eight-point halftime deficit to host Whitnall with a 33-8 third period frenzy that left their hosts looking for the bus that had run over them.
The end result was an 87-72 decision that improved the Falcons to 13-1 in Woodland play and 15-3 overall, while Whitnall fell to 8-6 and 10-7, respectively. Shorewood at 8-5 is the only team with an outside chance of even tieing the Falcons for the divisional crown with four games left to play.
Appleby said the team simply needed a change of strategy.
"We were working really hard at a tight man defense in the first half," he said. "What we needed to do was to try something that was more usable and more conducive to success for us."
Which was full-court, in-your-face man pressure, which would tighten up the gaps left as the Falcons had fallen behind, 41-33, at the half.
Brown Deer got the third quarter off to a good start, as a three-pointer from senior D'Sean Groce on the first possession, cut the deficit to 41-36. The host school bumped the lead back up to seven on a nifty lay-up by Daniel Weymier at the 7:31 mark of the third quarter.
Those would be the last points Whitnall would score for close to four minutes, as the Falcons would go on a 19-0 run that put them ahead for good at 55-43.
Senior point guard Desmond Jackson would get the go-ahead points on a three-pointer from the wing at the 5:44 mark of the third and he and Groce would combine on a unique five-point play that all but broke Whitnall's back a minute later.
Jackson (14 points) got a steal and a lay-up to make it 49-43 Brown Deer. It was determined that he was fouled after the shot so Brown Deer got the ball back. Groce then calmly took the inbounds' pass and notched a baseline three-pointer to make it 52-43.
A minute after that, Groce closed out the run with a trey from the wing that expanded the lead to 55-42 with 3:44 left in the third. Whitnall, which had expended two timeouts during the run, simply had no answers as Brown Deer would go on to take a 66-49 lead at the end of the third.
In the third, the Falcons hit 12 of 22 shots, including four threes, they would dominate the boards by a rough estimate of 15-1, force five turnovers and equal all the points they scored in the first half in just one period of play.
Brown Deer would hold Whitnall at bay in the fourth quarter as courtesy of 17 of 24 free throws on the night, the advantage would never drop below 10 points.
Appleby said the game was very similar to wins earlier in the season over Greendale and Pius XI, as in both those decisions, the Falcons fell behind big in the first half, only to rally and win going away.
"Both those games we responded very well early in the second half," said Applby. "We knew we could put some pressure on them and speed up the game a little."
Both Jackson and Palmer were pleased with the conference title, which was a very important first goal for the 10-man Falcon senior class.
"It's always good to get that out of the way first," said Palmer.
"It feels good because we've earned it," said Jackson.
Center Devante Jackson, who would foul out of the game in the fourth quarter, would also finish with 18 points for the Falcons while Whitnall was led by Mitch Brault with 17.
Appleby was a happy and relieved man afterward as the Falcons can win the championship outright with a victory at St. Francis next Tuesday (Feb. 5).
"We have either a share of the Woodland title or we've won it outright (a tie for the moment), but we just want to keep the momentum going. We want a full head of steam by (WIAA) tourney time."
Palmer agreed.
"We can still do a lot better," he said. "We have a lot more building to do until we reach our full potential."

Why Jack Harbaugh and his wife, Jackie, live in Mequon
Jack Harbaugh and his wife, Jackie, have lived in Mequon since 2003, when their son-in-law, Tom Crean, was head coach at Marquette University. Crean is married to Joani, the sister of John and Jim Harbaugh, whose teams are to compete in Super Bowl XLVII.

Jonas' three lifts Whitefish Bay girls over Germantown, 58-57
The first words out of Whitefish By girls basketball coach Greg Capper's mouth following the Blue Dukes' dramatic 58-57 road win over host Germantown Friday night were this:
"That's exactly the way we drew it up."
And returning NOW All-Suburban center and author of the winning baseline three-pointer with two seconds to go Maya Jonas, mostly agreed with her coach's assessment.
"It was actually to look for anyone that was open," she said of the play that began with just 8.9 seconds to go and Germantown up 57-55. "...and when I let it go I thought it was way short and then (when it went in) I went 'Oh my and thought we can't let them pick up the ball and score!'"
Germantown could only get off a rushed half-court heave at the buzzer.» Read Full Article

A $5 million cut to County Board budget won't go before voters
Fast-track state legislation to let voters decide in April whether to cut Milwaukee County supervisors' pay from $50,679 to $15,000 a year would also lop some $5 million from the County Board budget - without any input from voters.
Such a big cut - about 84% of the board's current budget - would severely hamper the board's ability to fulfill its role as the county's legislative branch of government, critics of the legislation said Friday.
Such a cut would leave almost nothing for County Board operations because more than $1 million of the board's budget is earmarked for retiree benefits.
"I don't know who is supposed to clerk the (board) meetings or provide any of the research," under such a deep cut, said Supervisor Theo Lipscomb Sr. Part-time supervisors envisioned by the legislation wouldn't have time to adequately research issues in the county's overall $1.3 billion budget, he said.
The board's current $6.6 million budget includes pay for the 18 supervisors and 38 staffers, including policy analysts, committee clerks and legislative assistants.» Read Full Article

Big Daddy's Brew & Que, a restaurant serving barbecue, will open at Bayshore Town Center's iPic Theaters in Glendale.

Germantown boys basketball team beats Homestead, 72-51
It's hard being the king.
Germantown's 7-0 Indiana-bound center Luke Fischer chuckles when that idea is mentioned to him, but it has a grain of truth to it. His Warhawk basketball team has established a record of such dominance over the last two-and-a-half seasons (65-2 record) that' it's not enough for the team just to win, but it has to earn style points too.
And that means pleasing notoriously hard-to-please Coach Steve Showalter.
Take a moment from Thursday night in the Warhawks' 72-51 win over border rival Homestead, a victory that improved the top-ranked in state Germantown squad to 13-0 on the season and 8-0 in North Shore play.
It was the third quarter and a few moments earlier the Warhawks had extended their 44-23 halftime lead to 52-25 and were well on their way to cruising towards another blowout win.» Read Full Article

Milwaukee auto repair shop Habhegger makes way for apartments
Longtime east side business Habhegger Wheel and Axle has moved from the corner of N. Water and E. Brady streets to Glendale.
The business is now at 102 W. Capitol Drive, on the Milwaukee-Glendale border. Habhegger is leasing space formerly used by Mofoco Enterprises, which moved about two blocks north, to 4170 N. Lydell St., said owner Dennis Mabry.
Mabry moved Habhegger because of developer Wangard Partners Inc.'s plans to demolish the former auto repair shops to make way for new apartments and retail space. Wangard bought the 2.7-acre site last summer from Madison-based AnchorBank.
Habhegger, which claims roots dating back to the 1840s as a blacksmith shop, had hoped to relocate near its current shop, but found downtown and east side real estate was too pricey, Mabry said.
By the way, Mabry is now calling the business Habhegger Auto Repair to make it clear it does more than just wheel and axle work.
Germantown wrestling team outlasts Homestead
Though Germantown won the North Shore Conference wrestling dual with border rival Homestead, 47-34, Wednesday night, it was Highlander coach Ernie Millard who was the much happier person when the evening was done.
That's because though though his Highlanders had to give up four forfeits to the Warhawks, Homestead actually won six matches on the mat as compared to just four for Germantown. The Highlanders did have motivation, as it was senior night for them.
"We have a couple of huge holes in our line-up because of injuries and so we have to try and work around them," said Millard, "but I was very pleased with how physical and aggressive our more experienced guys were tonight."
The moral victory dovetailed off the Highlanders sound 3-2 effort in the Verona Duals last Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Warhawks, who had come into the meet on a hot streak of their own, took a little step backward this night, according to coach Casey Gabrielson.» Read Full Article
Proposed apartments, retail space in Mequon win initial approval
A proposal to develop 40 apartments in Mequon, along with space for restaurants and shops, won preliminary zoning approval Monday night from the city Plan Commission.
Wired Properties LLC, led by Blair Williams, and Shaffer Development LLC are proposing five buildings for the Town Center area, north of Mequon Road and west of Cedarburg Road, near the Milwaukee River.
The three-acre development site includes two homes, Town Center Mobil and American Legion Post 457, all to be demolished. Post 457's demolition would need city approval from the Landmarks Commission.
In their place, Wired would develop four buildings, with 28,500 square feet of commercial space. Two of those buildings would include 40 upscale apartments, with one to three bedrooms, on their three upper floors.
The commercial space would include a cafe, and a two-story restaurant/tavern, but no specific tenants are named in the proposal.» Read Full Article

Crews restore electricity to 1,800 customers in Shorewood
Crews have restored power to about 1,800 We Energies customers in the Shorewood area who were in the dark for part of Saturday afternoon, according to a company spokeswoman.

Crews were able to bridge power in from other sources. All customers should have had power back just before 5 p.m. Schultze said.
Jose's Blue Sombrero proposed in Fox Point
Jose's Blue Sombrero has its sights on a new restaurant in Fox Point, at 8617 N. Port Washington Road.
The village's Plan Commission will take up the request next week by the DeRosa Corp. to open the Mexican restaurant.
The building once housed an Outback Steakhouse, which closed several years ago. It would require extensive remodeling inside and out, said George Flees, who would open the restaurant for the group and who is the general manager at DeRosa's ParkSide 23 in Brookfield.
Owner Joe DeRosa said the restaurant would have a patio and a garden in summer that would supply tomatoes, chiles and other ingredients for salsa.
It would be the third such restaurant by the DeRosa Corp.; the others are at 20371 W. Blue Mound Road in Brookfield and 6430 Washington Ave., Racine. Besides ParkSide 23, the group also operates Eddie Martini's in Wauwatosa and several Chancery restaurants in the metro area.
Whitefish Bay boys basketball team heads off Homestead, 70-60
Whitefish Bay junior forward Joe Sherburne has said that he "Hasn't hit a three-pointer at home all season."
Well, if so, he made amends for it a good time on Friday night, as in the battle for second place in the North Shore Conference against rival Homestead, he bombed in five trifectas in the third quarter to head off a Highlander rally and lead the Blue Dukes to a 70-60 victory.
"I've been in something of a slump for awhile now," said Sherburne, "but something just clicked tonight."
Sherburne finished with a game-high 28 points as the Blue Dukes improved to 6-1 in North Shore play and 10-3 overall while Homestead fell to 5-2 and 9-6, respectively.
Bay senior guard Kelin Johnson, who finished with 21 points, including a critical 10-point outburst in the second quarter that helped put the Blue Dukes ahead for good, thinks that Sherburne is being much too modest.» Read Full Article

Previously, if I typed
~/biTab, before, it would turn into
~/bin. However, today it started turning
~/biTab into
I would rather have it the former, but I'm not sure what happened ... I did add a script to edit my bash completion but I removed it from my
~./bashrc and restarted the server.
Does anyone know what would cause this to happen? Or how I would change it back?
EDIT So I found out what might cause this...it has to do with
/etc/bash_completion and things like that. When I do
bind -v, it shows tilde expansion to be off.
So I think if I edit this (kind of like a hack), it will go away. But that doesn't really satisfy anything -- how did this change even happen in the first place? I never ran anything as
sudo, and after multiple shutdowns and restarts this behavior persists.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- National Weather Service meteorologist Brian Schoettmer said Monday, another prolonged heat wave will be settling into the region the rest of the week. He said the result will be the kind of heat that "wears on people."
Forecasters say temperatures will approach 100 degrees in west Tennessee later in the week. Highs in the 90's will be common elsewhere across Kentucky and Tennessee. Combined with high humidity, heat index readings surging past 100 will be widespread.
The two states are feeling the effects of a heat wave that has caused blistering conditions across the Plains into the upper Midwest.

Brainteaser Friday: Guess the Game for March 7thWritten by: / / 4 Comments
It's time once again to put your thinking caps on and try and figure out this week's games in the latest Guess the Game!
Last week I think I made it too easy… or too difficult… you can decide by looking over the answers to last week's challenge:
– 1. Billy the Kid Returns! (PC DOS – 1993)
– 2. Far Cry Instincts: Predator (Xbox 360 – 2006)
– 3. Myth: The Fallen Lords (PC – 1997)
– 4. Viva Piñata (Xbox 360 – 2006)
– Bonus: Sony PSP boot Sound
Congratulations to all that guessed most of the games, but now let us go into this week's challenge – they're a little bit easier than last week:
Game 1:
This game was really difficult to figure out. It took me a while to figure out the controls and had one of the coolest intro movies.
Game 2:
This was the first FPS game that introduced dismemberment. You could shoot the guys arm off and then his leg.
Game 3:
This game was really challenging on 'Hard' and one of the few games I got all the achievements for. It also had some of the hardest zombies to kill.
Game 4:
I got this game when my mom bought me my first AMD gaming PC. It was also my first open-world driving game and I spent hours trying to get some good air in San Francisco.
Bonus Game:
This sound was taken from one of the coolest games ever made. I just recently completed the co-op of this game and now I am planning on replaying the main story again (check that volume!):
Do you know these games? Any of them bring back some good memories? Let us know, and good Luck!

In the parlance of Talmud study and lomdus, what does the word "Hakira" mean and how should it be used? Why are Hakiras useful?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Literally it means "investigation" or something similar (and is used in other contexts, like that of evidence in court), but it's used to mean "hair-splitting".
Yes, really.
Well, almost really. A chakira is an investigation as to the exact nature of something, and is usually stated as a binary choice: is X an A or is X a B? (X can be an object, a state, an action, etc.) A practical difference is generally sought so that the distinction is clear and known to be real, and, where possible, proof is brought as to whether X is in fact an A or a B.
It's popular in the writings of the rabbis Soloveitchik and their students.
It's useful in that it clarifies the nature of X.
UPDATE: msh210 beat me to it by a few seconds, but I'll post anyhow so you see the similarity between our answers.

I sometimes find that when Japanese answer my questions, their answers are too vague. For instance, I asked what つなぎ is in a given context. A Japanese person told me it is 作業着の種類, "a type of work clothes." That's still too vague for me. Is it a kind of cloth? What are the other types? What can I say to get more clarification to get a better explanation of what exactly つなぎ is?
Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Which means something like "Hum… more precisely? I am not sure I understand with such a concise explanation". This is quite oral, as you may guess.
The best way to get clarification is to ask a question that illustrates what exactly you're confused about. You've already asked these in English:
If you just ask "could you clarify?", your conversation partner is tasked with guessing what you could possibly be confused about, since they probably don't think that they said anything vague.

I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my other laptop. I logged into my ubuntu one account and it starts syncing files that I stored from my other laptop. However the files are too big and the syncing process takes too long. If I shut my laptop down, will the syncing process aborts completely or will it resume the next time I log in?
It will resume when the computer is turned on. I have done this before. When the computer is back on and you are logged in, the Ubuntu One application will see that some of the files have not been synced.

How to Use a Neti Pot
Users swear by it. Nasal passages are irrigated by it. So whether you are looking to ward off a cold, are sick of suffering from frequent sinus infections or want to promote sinus health, using a neti pot just might be the best way to irrigate your nasal passages.
With a flush of saline solution through one nostril at a time, using a neti pot clears the nasal passages of mucus, dust and pollen that might otherwise settle into the sinuses, forming a perfect breeding center for bacteria and infections.
Here's how to use a neti pot to irrigate nasal passages for improved sinus health and treatment of sinusitis and allergy symptoms. (Ideally, the neti-curious should talk to an experienced practitioner before the first flush or trying holistic remedies.)
Step 1: Get a neti pot
Most drugstores carry neti pots for between $7 and $25, depending on whether the pot is ceramic or plastic, and how many saline solution mix packets come with it.
Step 2: Pick a location
What comes out of your nostrils may not be something you want to clean off the carpet, so find a comfortable position over the sink, in the shower or bathtub or outdoors — and don't wear your Sunday best.
Step 3: Make the solution
Whether your neti pot came with a packet or you are making your own solution (with ¼ teaspoon of noniodized salt and eight ounces of water), it is important to pick a temperature suited for Goldilocks — not too hot, not too cold, but just warm enough to match your body temperature.
Step 4: Prepare and pour
- Tilt your head back and to the side opposite from the nostril you will pour into and relax.
- Insert the spout of the neti pot into the upper part of your nostril and pour a good amount in there.
- During this procedure, you should breathe through your mouth — don't hold your breath.
- After you've poured, tilt your head down and tuck in your chin, allowing the mixture to flow out of the other nostril.
At this stage, it's a good idea to keep your mouth closed.
Step 5: It shouldn't hurt
If it hurts to irrigate your nasal passage, chances are the solution is too hot or too cold, or has not been thoroughly mixed. Adjust the temperature and mix well before irrigating your other nostril.
If you feel comfortable, repeat all the above steps on the other nostril.
Step 6: Remove remaining water from nasal passages
The best way to clear any remaining water from your nasal passages is through quick breaths through the nose, with your head tilted down and from side to side. Avoid the temptation to hold one nostril shut and push air out, as this could send the solution the wrong way.
Step 7: A breath of relief
Most people seeking improved sinus health are very pleased with their results after using a neti pot. The worst part is overcoming the fear of "nasal irrigation." Once you give it a try, it should be smooth breathing from now on.

SanDisk Cruzer Switch 32GB USB Flash Drive for $14.99 + free shipping
If Best Buy's link screws up, look for:
Model: SDCZ52-032G-A11 SKU: 3994115
It's one of the DEALs OF THE DAY. The 16GB and 8GB are also on sale today, free shipping for 7.99, 4.99.
14 Comments add a comment
This is a crazy good deal
An OK deal with maybe a couple bucks off from other 32GB models. Poor reviews on Amazon, USB 2.0, and Poor Performance. Save your money and go with USB 3.0.
are these usb 2.0? I can't find any specs on the descriptions
Not sure how these are reviewed, but there's another extremely tiny 32gb SanDisk Cruzer Fit on Amazon for $5 more and it's extremely well reviewed. Plus it's beyond belief tiny. Amazon Prime users get free shipping of course.
There are only 8 reviews for this drive on amazon, which to me isn't promising for something that isn't a recent product (released April 2012). I think I would rather spend the $3 more and get the Kingston brand with over 2100 positive reviews:
Meh. For music for my cars, it's just what the Dr. ordered. I don't do a lot of file transfers after the initial load. A handful of these and I could have my entire collection at my fingertips. Labeling these is going to be a bit of a pain, tho.
Non-CD stereo - all music is stored on thumb drives.
amazon needs to scrub their site... doing a search for the model number resulted in 8 hits of the same product at different prices (and somehow 2 hits for other products). The few of these that actually have reviews are generally poorly rated
@levi4884: Thanks for the Amazon link. Only thing on the tiny drives - they can be hard to get back out of some devices. Perfect to stick in a car stereo and forget, but if your USB ports on the PC are a little recessed you'll need your fingernails :(
@75grandville: I'd also make use of a few big drives like this for my car but, the factory player in my 2011 Chevy has a ridiculously-low file limit; if I recall, it's 255 files and/or folders (maybe less). Exceed that by one, and the thumb drive isn't recognized at all.
So, a word of warning to all: before you invest in these for your car stereo, know your USB port.
@levi4884: I use one of these in my car stereo. Pretty fast, incredibly tiny, and so far very reliable (have had it for about a year now). However, if you're not keeping it in one place most of the time, the size could be a detriment. I can't imagine having to look around for this tiny thing.
It's USB 2.0, which means it will take well over an hour to transfer over 32 gigs worth of data to and from the drive. Last time I tried it on my USB 2.0 HP thumb drive, it took an hour and a half to transfer 29 GBs. If you're content with waiting that long, or longer for large data sets, then go for the deal. Otherwise put up a few more dollars and get the 3.0.
@levi4884: holy crap how did I miss this? just bought a regular old sized 32GB one on amazon, and it was like less than 2$ less than this one. I can't believe they can make them this tiny but for 32GB. I wouldn't be shocked to see a 1-2GB model, but man, that is amazing
@pezzltj: Them chips be micro, yo!
This is dead. Price up to $49.99 now.

This week on Silverlight TV, John introduces a brand-new Silverlight Training Series first announced at the Silverlight Firestarter. Created by John Papa and Silverlight MVPs Corey Schuman and Dan Wahlin, this eleven lab series includes hands-on labs and video walk-throughs by Corey and Dan, as well as:

Oops, something didn't work.
Thank you very much !
Can't wait to try this !
Thank you a lot!
A Silverlight fan!
Glad to hear the excitement over the labs! We had fun building them and filming the videos and hope they serve as a good resource for people interested in getting started with Silverlight development or wanting to enhance their existing skills.
Thanks for the series, had been waiting for something like this for a while.
One thing I would love to see in trainings like this is an offline version with the videos in it. I downloaded the offline version and was dissapointed to have to watch the videos online.
Sometimes it's just easier to download a big file and then be able to watch the videos while away from an internet connection.
This is just what I need to get going with silverlight - Thanks guys... I have downloaded the starter kit but Im getting errors straight off the bat in most of the modules. (Even when runing the Completed solutions). Is there any more detail on how to set up these projects to get them working or even how to handle errors that might occur when first running them?
Great stuff. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you're running into problems. I'd recommend a couple of things:
1. The labs using a database all reference SQLEXPRESS as the database name in the web.config files since that's the default name. Make sure you don't have a SqlExpress database with a different name. If you do you'll need to update the connection string in each lab's web.config file. I'm assuming you have SqlExpress installed but double-check that as well.
2. Post any specific errors you may see in the appropriate lab's comments area (not here though). We've had a lot of people get through the labs successfully but if you're not able to run the solutions then there must be something configured a little bit differently on your machine. Seeing the errors will hopefully help narrow down the issue.
Hi Dan - I have SQLExpress installed with default instance name. Will post errors Im getting on Lab site comments - thanks
Very Existing Labs will be working on that and will be updating soon koodos john papa

I second that.
Was expecting to see videos offline too. I guess I see your dilemma - so many formats to choose from.
I'd suggest a separate offline archive with videos included. Videos can be in the most generic format for Windows player, low to medium quality. I personally never cared of watching developer videos on iPood-o-Zune-o-boxes.
