6 Mental Illnesses That Only Happen in One Place on Earth
#3. Wild Pig Syndrome
If you're a young male living in tribal New Guinea, newly married, and facing financial pressure, then you're at risk of falling victim to wild pig syndrome. That means you're likely to embark on a five-finger-discount shopping spree for useless crap and not remember it in the morning.
It's right up there with exploding head syndrome for illnesses with deceptively awesome names.
The syndrome, which exclusively afflicts male members of the community between the ages of 25 and 35, is so named for its victims' tendency to become aggressive and hyperactive like feral animals. It's also characterized by the compulsion to steal random, usually meaningless objects, so maybe it's better described as "asshole monkey syndrome."
"Sorry for stealing your pencil sharpener and then cold-cocking you. It's my illness!"
In most cases, the victims venture into the woods for several days, during which time they destroy the stolen objects, and then return to their village without remembering the episode, only to be reminded of the event by other villagers whose shit has recently gone missing.
Traditionally, natives of New Guinea believe that the condition is caused by being bitten by the ghost of a recently deceased tribe member and can be cured by holding the sufferer over smoke until he returns to normal. Which makes us think that zombie movies in New Guinea probably suck.
But we bet their prescription pads are entertaining as hell.
#2. Brain Fag Syndrome
Imagine you're a student in a sub-Saharan country trying to study for your exams when suddenly your brain just loses the ability to grasp what you're reading. You're exhausted, you can't speak properly anymore, and your hand shakes so much that you can't write. You're experiencing what's known in Africa as brain fag syndrome.
Although the name sounds like it was coined by surveying middle school boys, apparently it's short for "fatigue," and it only seems to affect students in West Africa -- more specifically, those studying in Western educational systems.
Also, using "fatigue" in that context is not a loophole.
Researchers studying the condition have noticed that the more proficient in the English language a person is, the higher his or her risk of coming down with the condition. And it's not just a regular case of the exam willies -- more extreme cases include pain, feelings of pressure in the head or neck, tightness, blurring of vision, rapid heartbeat, and even crawling sensations under the skin.
You'll recognize those effects from listening to any song by Taylor Swift.
So why only African kids in Western schools? Scientists think it may have something to do with the way the brain deals with this specific clash of cultures. Or rather, doesn't deal with it. Whatever the cause, 4 out of 10 school students in West Africa are at risk of getting brain fag, which is not a diagnosis that any teenager wants to hear from a doctor.
#1. Crazy Sickness
For most of us, a seasonal outbreak means that you're likely to spend a few days stuck in bed with your head full of mucus. If you're a young girl of the Miskito people of Central America, unfortunately, you're more likely to go into convulsions and start vomiting insects. This is what the Miskito people call grisi siknis, or "crazy sickness."
"On the upside, nobody makes a fuss about the goddamn swine flu."
Grisi siknis is a highly contagious and bizarre condition that causes manic convulsions and even coma in its victims. During spells, sufferers attempt to flee their community with their eyes closed, seizing any weapon they can find with which they appear to try to defend themselves against invisible attackers. According to eyewitnesses, sufferers mysteriously gain extraordinary strength, and often upward of four men are required to restrain them and tie them down with ropes. There are reported cases of 15-year-old girls with grisi siknis overpowering seven men. Basically, they all turn into that girl from The Exorcist, minus the pea soup vomit.
And plus whatever knives happen to be sitting around at the time.
The most baffling and terrifying thing for scientists studying the condition is that they really don't know what the hell is going on. It seems to spread like a virus, but blood samples from sufferers have turned up nothing. Drugs and injections just seem to make it mad. Outbreaks have been reported as far back as 1800, and an epidemic that began in 1910 is said to have lasted for a period of 20 years. There were 65 cases last year. Hell, maybe this is one occasion where the demon possession explanation is the right one.

In R^2, we have the following abelian groups, some of which have R vector space structures, or even C vector space structures.
Closed forms/exact forms
real parts of analytic functions/harmonic functions
Analytic functions/analytic functions that have holomorphic antiderivatives.
One can see that for open connected subsets U of R^2, to have any of these being trivial is equivalent to U being simply connected, and any of these conditions imply U is homeomorphic to either C or the unit disk.
In higher dimensions, or in general in real manifolds, it only makes reasonable sense (to me as a graduate student) to still talk about closed/exact and simple connectivity. Are there any connections here? I know simple connectivity, even of an open subset of R^3, no longer implies trivial De Rham cohomology. But what about the converse?
In R^2, what about the nontrivial case? that is, are any of the above groups isomorphic to any other for a general open connected subset of C? If so, do any of the isomorphisms carry more structure than just the structure of the abelian group? Do the isomorphisms become homomorphisms for higher dimensional spaces?
I am interested not so much in factual answers, but more in proofs or references to proofs.

About a year ago, Tools of the Trade sent me a ZipSaw, a grinder-based cutoff saw that takes 3-1/2- and 4-inch proprietary cutoff wheels. I was eager to test this tool because it's factory-equipped for dust collection. My other grinders don't have dust collection, and it would be expensive to equip them with third-party shrouds, most of which are designed for grinding rather than cutting.
The kit (RFS1000) includes a 1-inch-diameter hose that connects the saw to the hose of a dust-collecting vacuum. One side of the guard is open so the blade can engage the work, and its face is removable for flush-cut applications. With the guard in place, the tool can cut about 3/4 inch deep. The rest of the tool is not all that different from a standard grinder, though it has less heft and power than the other grinders I own.
RotoZip makes five different blades for the saw: one ZipWheel and four XWheels. The ZipWheel – a dry diamond blade that cuts stone, masonry, porcelain, and tile – is flat and thicker than the XWheels. XWheels are domed, so the arbor nut is recessed below the face of the blade, which is why flush-cutting is possible. In addition to a dry diamond XWheel, there is one for wood, one for ferrous and nonferrous metal, and an all-around version for drywall, plastic, and nail-embedded wood.
The big-box stores in our area stock a good selection of ZipSaw blades, so we've had no trouble buying replacements.
Motor: 7 amps
Speed: 11,000 rpm
Weight (by ToTT): 4.4 pounds
Maximum depth of cut: 3/4 inch
Length of hose: 56 inches
Price: $100
Kit includes: Saw, dust-collection equipment, side handle, wrenches, one wood XWheel, and either one tile ZipWheel or one tile XWheel
Country of origin: Assembled in Mexico
My remodeling company specializes in tile work, and we regularly use this saw to cut cement backerboard. In the past we used a grinder, and it created so much dust we had to wear masks and clear the air with a blower – even though we cut outdoors.
The job is easier with the ZipSaw. We still cut outdoors, because some of the dust escapes – but enough is collected that we can work without masks or a blower. The tool's plastic hose could be better; it's stiffer than I'd like, and more than once it's come loose from the saw during a cut and sent a cloud of dust into the air. (It fits into the tool via friction.)
We've used this saw to cut curves in hard porcelain tile – usually around toilet flanges, where the cut edge won't be visible. There's enough vibration with the dry-cutting blade that I wouldn't leave the edge exposed.
To avoid walking out to my tile saw, I will sometimes use the ZipSaw to make cuts and notches in stone and tile. Recently we used it to notch the edge of a stone shower bench to accept a shower door. The bathroom was nearly finished and a standard grinder would have made a terrible mess. Using the ZipSaw saved us from having to breathe all that dust and reclean the room.
We also use the saw for occasional cuts in metal when other tools won't fit or we need to keep the area clean. A chop saw (or larger grinder) is more powerful and is a better choice when there are many cuts to be made.
The ZipSaw can cut a variety of materials, but the author uses it primarily to cut cement board (left) and to make utility cuts in tile and stone (right). The work area stays relatively clean because the tool is equipped for dust collection and can be connected by hose to a vacuum.
Several months back we put a new floor in an existing bathroom. It was lower than the old one, so the 4-inch cast-iron toilet drain projected above the floor. I used the ZipSaw to trim the pipe flush with the floor, which would have been hard to do neatly with a standard grinder.
Although the saw can be used to cut plaster and drywall, the dust collection isn't effective enough that I would want to use it in a finished space. When we're concerned about dust, we cut these materials with a traditional spiral-style RotoZip equipped with an accessory dust shroud, because it does a much better job collecting dust.
The ZipSaw can cut wood, but we prefer not to use it for that task: The wood blade has no real teeth and cuts by abrasion. The tool would cut more cleanly with a toothed blade, and then you wouldn't get that burning smell from grinding wood.
This tool is fine for rough cuts in plywood, but I wouldn't advise using it for critical cuts in trim and wood flooring. The manufacturer's website shows the tool being used as a jamb saw. I can see how you might want to do this if you had to undercut a lot of baseboard, but that's not something we normally do. When I have to undercut jambs and casing, I use an oscillating multi-tool, because it cuts cleaner and is easier to control.
There's a lot that RotoZip says this saw can do that I would probably never use it for. In fact, if the ZipSaw weren't equipped for dust collection, I probably wouldn't consider buying it – but it is, and that gives it an edge over standard grinders.
Though not an industrial-grade machine, it's reasonably well-made for the price. And despite some annoying glitches – a stiff hose, a plastic guard that is hard to adjust when it has grit in it, and a switch that is always kind of sticky – it's a useful tool to have around for cutting cement board and making the occasional utility cut in metal, tile, and stone.
The blades cut by abrasion – even the wood blade, which has no real teeth and has a carbide grit coating along its edge.

All Rise...
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Q: The Winged Serpent (Blu-ray) (published July 29th, 2013) and Q: The Winged Serpent (Blue Underground Edition) (published January 10th, 2004) are also available.
The Charge
Today in New York City the winged serpent rules!
Opening Statement
Larry Cohen is an auteur of B-movies, a man who doesn't care how extravagant the premise of a film is. Be it mutant babies, killer yogurt, or giant flying demons in New York, Cohen makes sure that he gets the job done (and is apparently not overly concerned if the end result looks good or not). Cohen is the mad mind behind such horror classics as the It's Alive series and the fat free dessert-gone-amuck flick The Stuff. In 1982 Cohen pre-dated Jurassic Park by letting lose a giant dinosaur (a pterodactyl to be exact) on the city that never sleeps in Q: The Winged Serpent. Anchor Bay dusts off this classic and throws it on DVD in its original widescreen version for the first time!
Facts of the Case
New York is the sort of place that holds all kinds of secrets. A few examples: Why "Cats" played for so long on Broadway. Why the pizza there is so dang good. And finally, why there is a giant, scaly serpent living at the top of the Chrysler building. Cohen alumni Michael Moriarty plays Jimmy Quinn, a dim-bulb crook who stumbles across the giant beast that's been dipping into pools and rooftops to pick off innocent bystanders as meals. How did this gruesome creature end up settling in New York unannounced? Well, it has something to do with Aztec rituals, sacrificial alters, and a bunch of other hooey like that. What it all boils down to is a bunch of cops (led by David Carradine and Richard "Shaft" Roundtree) getting out the big guns to bring down the big "Q" before it's too late!
The Evidence
Anyone else out there think it's a bunch of B.S. that a huge prehistoric bird could live and feed in New York unnoticed? Normally I'd say this is just an isolated incident, but years later we'd see the same thing happen with the big-budget remake of Godzilla. Look, I can see a huge bird or dinosaur hiding in, oh…say the Appalachians, or maybe even the Rockies. But I just don't buy that these creatures can duck and find cover among ten billion citizens in the Big Apple.
But, this may just be me being petty. Q: The Winged Serpent depends on viewers suspending their disbelief for an hour and a half and just going with the oddly strange flow. Q: The Winged Serpent is an entertaining film, and nothing more. If there is a social or environmental message packed inside it's completely lost among the grisly dead bodies and gunfire surrounding the movie. Q: The Winged Serpent gets an even bigger boost by sporting performers that should be above this kind of material. Michael Moriarty (of TV's Law & Order) is actually very good as Quinn, an almost retarded man who is sometimes irritating but always funny to watch. David Carradine is low-key as a cop who just wants to find the beast and kill it, and then there's Richard Roundtree (of Shaft fame) who grumbles most of his lines like he's passing a kidney stone.
The whole shebang is goofy, but at least Cohen (who not only directed but also produced and wrote the script) keeps the pace moving rather briskly. Generally it's all a bunch of sugar coated bologna; the effects are cheap, the music overly dramatic, and the ideas a bit far fetched. Ultimately your enjoyment of Q: The Winged Serpent will be based on your love of B-movies and stop motion films like Clash Of The Titans and Jason And The Argonauts. Q: The Winged Serpent never misses a moment to have the beast flying or climbing via stop-motion animation. Even some of the cops thrown off the building are done by this process. There are lots of shots that look fuzzy or soft because of the use of mattes, and overall the serpent looks like he was sculpted out of Play-Doh. I'm not sure, but he may even have been used years later as an extra in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Once again, quibbles. Overall Q: The Winged Serpent is turn-off-your-brain entertainment, a mindless romp into the land of cheesy monster movies. Cohen may not be a perfectionist, but at least the guy knows how to make a movie that incorporates a diamond heist, a giant dragon, and an attacking kite in the same movie. Kudos to you, Mr. Cohen!
Q: The Winged Serpent is presented in 1.85:1 non-anamorphic widescreen. This film is an early Anchor Bay title and as such isn't given very special treatment. The transfer for Q: The Winged Serpent is good, but certainly not great. There was a bit of edge enhancement spotted, and overall the image tended to have some grain and scratches throughout. While this isn't a horrible transfer by any means, it's not all that great either.
Audio is presented in Dolby Digital Stereo and is actually fairly weak. I had a hard time hearing some of the dialogue between the characters. It was almost as if the effects and the music were mixed correctly, yet the dialogue was very lacking. On the opposite end, the Foley work is great, utilizing footstep sounds all over the place, and very loudly at that. A mediocre soundtrack at best.
And what's the lucky number of supplements Anchor Bay has thrown on this disc?
Closing Statement
Sad to say, the only way I can really recommend Q: The Winged Serpent as a purchase is if you are a HUGE fan of the film. Otherwise this title isn't worth the price seeing as it's not enhanced for 16x9 TVs and includes nada in the supplement department. Q: The Winged Serpent is worth a rental when you have absolutely nothing else to do on a Friday night (and it may help to have a six pack around as well).
The Verdict
Q: The Winged Serpent is free to go, but Anchor Bay is slapped with a fine for below passing work on this title.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Q: The Winged Serpent a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

This has been a big pet peeve of mine for some time now. Is anybody else sick of seeing so much TV time wasted on the supposed suspense of whether a series' characters will date or not?
It seems that whenever a show needs some filler, or doesn't know what to do with certain characters, they just have them date each other. Ok, the first couple times you see this it's interesting, but after show after show, I could care less whether every fictional TV character I see dates the other characters.
It's always the same. Will they get together? Then they get together and the releationship can't last long so they break up. Then one of the characters dates a new character while the other half watches sadly. Then that person moves on and the other relationship ends and the other person sees what they lost. Rinse & repeat.
I just started The Office: Season 7, and this show is probably the worst offender. That entire office is one big incestuous mess where everybody in that office dates everybody else in the office. They introduce new characters only to have them date old characters. Why not just have a smaller group with better stories instead?
Even Dexter is getting this problem. I don't care who his sister dates every season, it's a waste of screen time of such a well-written show. And LaGuerta and Battista have nothing to do, let's hook them up with each other!
Is this happening too much on TV or am I reading into it too deeply?

Second-team selections from the SEC include Jackey Branham of Alabama, Kelsey Horton of Florida, Michelle Moultrie of Florida, Cassie Reilly-Boccia of Alabama and Ellen Renfroe of Tennessee.
A junior public relations major with a 3.92 G.P.A., Braud is batting .351 for No. 2 Alabama, now 53-7 on the season. She helped the Crimson Tide reach the NCAA Super Regional for the fifth year in a row. Braud, is the third-leading hitter for the Crimson Tide and has scored 55 runs. She leads Alabama with 39 stolen bases in 44 attempts. She has earned All-American honors from the NFCA twice and was the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2010.
Chavanne, a junior political science major with a 3.89 G.P.A., is a Capital One Academic All-America first-team selection as an infielder this season. She earned first team notice as an outfielder last year. A native of Thousand Oaks, Cal., she is a finalist for the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year for the second year in a row. A two-time NFCA All-American (2010, 2011), she is Tennessee's all-time leading hitter (.450). She also ranks third in career steals (102), seventh in runs scored (173) and eighth in base hits (260). The Vols' third baseman and leadoff hitter has led No. 5 Tennessee to a 50-11 record and a berth in the NCAA Super Regionals. Currently batting .439, she has 84 career multi-hit games at Tennessee.

North Korea Fires Missiles Into Sea
SEOUL—North Korea fired three short-range missiles Saturday into the sea off the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula, stirring tensions that had appeared to ease in the wake of a recent series of threats directed at South Korea and the U.S.
The missiles posed no danger to neighboring countries. Analysts said the launches were likely intended as a protest against joint South Korean-U.S. naval drills earlier this week.
South Korea's defense ministry said that North Korea had fired two missiles into waters off the Korean peninsula in the morning, followed by a third missile in the afternoon.
"In our judgment, the missiles are short-range guided missiles, not midrange missiles such as the Musudan," South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said.
Attention has been focused on the deployment of two Musudan missiles on North Korea's east coast last month for an expected test firing. Officials and media reports earlier this month said North Korea had moved the Musudan missiles away from the firing locations.
The Musudan has a range of up to around 4,000 kilometers (just under 2,500 miles), meaning it could threaten U.S. bases in Guam and Japan. Tokyo put its missile defenses on alert in response to reports of the Musudan deployment.
North Korea launches smaller missiles with ranges of a few hundred miles, such as scud variants, in test firings from its coasts a few times each year. The last reported firing was in March.
North Korea made no immediate statement about the latest launch.
Shin Jong-dae, professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, said the launches were likely a means of drawing attention from the international community.
"North Korea is an expert at crisis diplomacy, or crisis marketing," Mr. Shin said.
The firings come after Glyn Davies, the top U.S. envoy on North Korea, wrapped up a visit to Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul this week for talks on dealing with North Korea.
Pyongyang's provocations, including threats of attack that escalated in recent months, are widely viewed as an attempt to generate enough fear to prompt other countries to consider concessions on security and aid, a game plan it has used repeatedly in the past.
Those threats peaked during annual military drills held by South Korea and the U.S. through the end of April, exercises that the North portrayed as a prelude to war. The heated rhetoric eased following the end of the drills, but fresh naval exercises this week have prompted renewed warnings of counterattack from Pyongyang.
The latest exercises have been led by the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, a move that North Korea's state media called "a grave military provocation."
The missile launches also come during a low in inter-Korean relations as Pyongyang has rejected repeated calls from Seoul for dialogue over the closed Kaesong Industrial Complex.
The closure of the industrial complex—the last outpost of inter-Korean economic cooperation—in turn followed weeks of near-daily verbal attacks by North Korea against the South and the U.S. after the U.N. imposed tougher sanctions against Pyongyang following its third nuclear test in February.
South Korea said it was monitoring for any further military activity in the North following Saturday's missile launches. "South Korea's military is on high alert to prepare for any hostile acts," ministry spokesman Mr. Kim said.

Friends of the NIU Libraries Board
The Friends of NIU Libraries was founded in 1983 as an association of library
supporters interested in contributing to the development of the resources of
the University Libraries (view by-laws ). Currently,
we have about 100 members.
The Friends secure gifts and bequests and provide funds for the purchase of books, manuscripts, and other materials such as electronic resources that could not otherwise be acquired by the library, through member contributions, the Library Endowment Fund, the Ensuring the Future Tree, the Library Book Fund, and sponsorship of memorial and endowment programs. Click here to see the purchases for the library through the generosity of the Friends.
The Friends sponsor a series of programs each year on a wide range of topics, often related to books, libraries, and publishing, but also of general interest. Many of these programs are free and open to the public, but some are members only. A listing of upcoming programs for this year can be found on our Activities & Programs page. If you would like to be part of an e-mail distribution list for announcements of upcoming Friends events, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Suggestions for future Friends programming can be sent to the same address.
If you wish to request that the Friends cosponsor an event, you can find guidelines and a request form here.
The Friends also sponsor an ongoing book sale in the lobby of Founders' Memorial Library to raise funds for the library. Donations to the book sale are always accepted, and the stock turns over regularly.
There are many benefits to membership in the Friends, including longer checkout times for books, and invitations to exclusive Friends-only events. Unfortunately, due to changes in vendor contracts, the Friends do not offer off-campus access to databases subscribed to by the University Libraries; Friends members that wish to access library databases must come to campus to use public-access computers. NIU Faculty and Staff can have their membership dues deducted directly via payroll deduction by filling out this form and returning it with their membership form. We'll do the rest!
Gifts to the Friends of the NIU Libraries can also be made by credit card using this online form through the NIU Foundation. Select "A specific area," then Select " Friends of the NIU Libraries."

I have a friend in prison who wants to learn programming.
He's got no access to a computer so I was wondering if people could recommend books that would be a good introduction to programming without requiring a computer.
Obviously he's going to need to keep learning once he gets out, and has access to a computer, but how should he get started now (he's got lots of free time to read obviously). Based on his goals I think Ruby or Javascript/HTML5 might be good paths for him to start down, but really for now it's most important to explain the ideas. Even if it's all pseudo code.
These need to be physical publications, paperbacks are preferred, and consider that he's got limited shelf space so large books could be a problem.

We think of A-Basin as a unique place where it's all about the skiing and riding. Although there are no lodges, condos or timeshares, Arapahoe Basin stands out from the other 26 resorts in Colorado because of its outstanding terrain, abundant snowfall, laid-back atmosphere, storied history and springtime festivities. A-Basin boasts varied terrain, an average annual snowfall of 350", and one of the longest ski seasons in North America (typically October through early June). "The Legend" has everything from steep chutes and wide-open powder bowls to intermediate spruce glades and kid-friendly learning areas and freestyle parks. Our Moonlight Dinners are unique ways to experience some of the finest cuisine in Summit County. Food & Beverage Director Christopher Rybak takes inspiration from the world's mountain regions for his creative menus, and sources local and sustainable ingredients when possible. Arapahoe Basin's infamous "beach" is a place where every day is a party. Expect barbecues, crazy costumes and music from local and vacationing revelers. Montezuma Bowl is A-Basin's newest terrain and was the largest terrain expansion in North America for the 07/08 season. Pallavicini, A-Basin's famed double-black diamond run, is regarded by skiers and riders world-wide as one of the steepest and most challenging runs in North America. Our spring events are just getting started when other ski areas are closing for the season. A few marquee events include the Grind (an uphill/downhill adventure race), May's Shakin' at the Basin concert series, Festival of the Brewpubs and the Huck, Rock and Roll terrain park competition. "Arapahoe Basin ... Where the spirit of freedom and big mountain challenges create life-altering experiences." Of course, we could go on and on about why A-Basin "creates life-altering experiences" daily, but we want you to understand for yourself. The information included in our media center is designed to introduce you to all Arapahoe Basin has to offer, but in order to fully understand the "spirit of freedom and big mountain challenges" you really need to visit. So look around, and once your interest is heightened give one of us a call. We'd be happy to give you a mountain tour and get away from these desks! Leigh, Adrienne and Alan

Adding carcol lines?
I have a few car mods that need new color lines in carcol, but I don't entirely understand how it works, being that the new lines already have colors with the same value attached to it. Here's an example:
Saleen S281 Extreme Unmarked Police Car, edited and converted by Vertelvis.
The stock line for #8 is "165,169,167,-,silver # 8 silver stone poly"
Vertelvis requires that I add this line "30,30,30,-,grey # 8 Dark Gray (Vertelvis)"
What do? I assume I can't leave Vertelvis's line with the #8 value since the stock line already has that number. I don't particularly wanna go replacing lines either cause won't that screw with other car colors?
btw first thread/post ever on this forum. Tried modding a few years back and got a trojan because of it. Put it down until now and everything is working flawlessly.

What is the last number of the color lists in carcols.dat? Try add it after that and change #8 to the last number plus one. For example: last number of the color lists in carcols.dat is #255. Add it under #255 and change it to #256 (255 + 1 = 256).
Then, once you are done, change the number 8 that posted in color line, for example: fbi, x,8,x to fbi, x,256,x.
I've tried this method in GTA San Andreas and it works flawlessly.

The Twelfth National Black Catholic Congress will be held in Orlando, Florida from Thursday, July 6, 2017 to Sunday, July 9, 2017. The theme for this Congress is, "The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me: act justly, love goodness, and walk humbly with your God." Although this date may seem far in the future, we can utilize the days, weeks and months ahead to properly prepare ourselves for Congress XII. Activities for Congress will embrace: Spiritual Growth, Historical Awareness, Social Justice Issues, Human Life and Human Dignity Topics, Marriage and Family Life Connections, Youth and Young Adults Engagement.
To help you implement the Day of Reflection, we have mailed copies of the Day of Reflection document and the Pre-Congress Activities List to you and we have provided links to those documents below if there are others interested in presenting to their parish communities. For more information, please contact the NBCC office at 410-547-8496 or email
Congress XII Day of Reflection Document |
Preparing for Congress XII Activities
Preview the Congress XI Video Highlights
Download the Congress XI Pastoral Plan of Action
Presentation by Nancy Powers, Ph.D., member of the
board of the NBCC Catholic Education Foundation LLC. For Congress XI Workshop:
Sustaining Catholic Elementary Schools I, Thursday, July 18, 2012.
View full presentation.
In each generation, the Spirit gives a specific
assignment to its spiritual leaders. The assignment given usually is a unique,
yet prophetic call to move God's people to a higher level of mission. This is
what happened twenty five years ago (1984) when the African American Catholic
Bishops acted in unison to speak about evangelization within the African
American Catholic community through the Pastoral Letter, "What We Have Seen and
Heard". This was a Letter to us about evangelization.
What We Have Seen and Heard (.pdf)
Directors of Black Catholic Ministry around the country are using the following
programs and materials
to revitalize discipleship and evangelization.
Preview a list of Post-Abortion Related Web Sites.
Congress X engaged hundreds of youth and over
two thousand adults and affirmed the value and the vibrancy of the Black Catholic Movement.
We affirmed that our Movement is grounded in the sacramental life of the
Catholic Church and committed to working for positive change in our community,
particularly regarding Africa, Catholic Education, HIV-AIDS, Parish Life,
Social Justice, Spirituality, Racism, and Youth and Young Adults.
A Proven Foundation for Fruitful Ministry:
Congress X Plan of Action is our guidebook for the next five years.
You will find here theological insights and practical steps that your
parish and diocese can use to carry out our shared commitments. Those
commitments are rooted in the evangelization mission of the National
Black Catholic Congress.
This book is the result of an initiative of the National Black Catholic Congress (NBCC) Leadership Commission on Catholic Education: to empower Black Catholics to reclaim Catholic schools and institutions of higher learning.
The NBCC Commission on Catholic Education focuses on improving the experience of the Black student throughout elementary, secondary, and higher education. We are inclusive of all Catholic Institutions and we share the vision of Black Catholic education at the heart of the Church, evangelizing a socially just Church.
During 2009, NBCC surveyed diocesan staff nationwide
to assess progress on the Congress X Plan of Action. Respondents rated their
diocese's progress and described their activities on the Plan's action steps for
Africa, HIV-AIDS, Parish Life, Racism, Social Justice, and Youth and Young
We collected qualitative information for the
action steps on Spirituality and Catholic Education.
The Executive Summary provides a quick
overview of the survey method and results, with graphs showing which
action steps and principles have been getting the most (and the least)
attention nationwide. For a full summary of the quantitative and
qualitative results of the survey, see the more detailed Appendices to
the report, also available on this website.
When the NBCC surveyed dioceses last year to assess
progress on the Congress X Plan of Action, we asked for details about successful
programs, as well as comments about difficulties or challenges. This yielded a
treasure trove of information about innovative and successful activities. We
share this rich detail in eight Appendices to the Congress X Plan of Action
Diocesan Progress Report.
For the core principles on Africa, HIV-AIDS,
Parish Life, Racism, Social Justice, and Youth/Young Adults, an appendix
lists the pertinent steps in the Congress X Plan of Action, outlines
which dioceses reported success on these steps (Who's doing what,
where?), and reviews any trends and issues that emerged in the survey.
We hope readers will not hesitate to contact the dioceses listed to
learn from and build upon their experiences and expertise.
The Appendix on Spirituality offers a list
of the books, speakers, videos, teaching materials, and programs that
African American pastoral leaders and parishioners across the country
have found valuable.
The Appendix for Catholic Education
describes data on open, closed, and threatened Black Catholic schools
(i.e., in the 40 arch/dioceses who responded to the survey) and lists
innovative development and scholarship programs.

I am half dozen or so batches into my homebrewing "career" (Saison du Buff, Jasmine IPA and Midas Touch among my highlights) I found a recipe for a darker saison. I made some modifications (chocolate malt & vanilla bean), but I am confused/nervous about fermentation. Recipe says 105 days in primary, but that seems ABSOLUTELY INSANE to me. I am thinking about going standard 2ish weeks in the bucket then transferring to carboy to ride out the remaining 90ish days. Am I daft for thinking 105 days of primary seems odd? Or should I skip the bucket, go straight into carboy and pitch into it and do the full 105 there?
I used WY 3724 in my last saison. My records show 60 days to go from 1.053 to 1.005, but I kept the temperature at 88 F. for most of that.
For the first few days, the yeast is very active. However, the krausen falls, and the yeast slows down once 50% apparent attenuation is reached. If you raise the temperature and are patient, the yeast will keep going and show some impressive attenuation numbers.
In my dealings with Saison yeast they take a bloody long time to finish primary fermentation, 105 days doesn't sound untoward to me. You'll find that it'll be slowly bubbling for the whole time.
It's definitely a patience yeast, and you'll probably want to make enough so you can check the gravity every 3-4 weeks to ensure it's still going (and to give you peace of mind)
What yeast are you using?

Plenty has been written about concerns over elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere, but a Kansas State University researcher has found an upside to the higher CO2 levels. And it's been particularly relevant in light of the drought that overspread the area in recent months.
There was an experiment done at KSU that shows the elevated carbon dioxide that we now have is mitigating the affect the drought has on winter wheat and sorghum and it is allowing more efficient use of water. Between 1958 and 2011, the carbon dioxide concentration has increased from 316 parts per million to 390 ppm.
The research showed that sorghum and winter wheat used water more efficiently as a result of the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to K-State agronomy professor Mary Beth Kirkham.
Because elevated carbon dioxide closes stomata (pores on the leaves through which water escapes), less water is used when carbon dioxide levels are elevated. Evapotranspiration is decreased. Due to the increased carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, it now takes 55 milliliters (mL) less water to produce a gram of sorghum grain than it did in 1958. Fifty-five mL is equal to about one-fourth of a cup of water.
This may not seem like a lot of water savings, but spread over the large acreage of sorghum and wheat grown in Kansas, the more efficient use of water now compared to 1958 should have a large impact. Hopefully this information will help you sleep a little easier knowing that some of your crops might not need the all of the moister you thought they needed during this drought.

I'm aware of sprockets for combining javascript files, but haven't tried it. What are some other options and how do they stack up?
I wrote a handler for Asp.Net that uses YUI to compress, concatenate, and caches the output.
Here's the source: http://gist.github.com/130913
I have already addressed this issue in another question
In hindsight, I should have asked it on Webmasters instead of the Programmers site.
You have 3 options:
Option 1 (using a CakePHP extension):
Download and install AssetPacker into your site (which also requires jsmin and CSSTidy). Modify your a few lines of source that include the js files. Wash->Rinse->Repeat. Voila, the rest is done automatically for you.
If you use some other framework, chances are, there's a tool that will accomplish this for you. It's a pretty common requirement in the webdev world.
Option 2 (using an Apache mod):
Take a look at the Google Pagespeed mod for Apache. It does everything you describe and a whole lot more.
Be sure to monitor your production server's resources though. Some people have been seeing issues where this increases load on their server in a bad way. I'm not positive but it may require a sufficient static content strategy to be an effective option.
Option 3:
If you really want, you could create some PHP magic that concatenates JS files server side and combines all the link rel's into one but... That's exactly what the two strategies are already doing anyway.
Personally, I'd strongly advise against this option.
As far as I know Sprockets concatenates JS files the same as AssetPacker, it's just implemented as a Ruby Gem. What it doesn't do is minify the js code. So, if you use it, it's probably a good idea to grab the jsmin gem too. For information on how to use Sprockets + JSMin in CakePHP check this out.
I know I put emphasis on CakePHP but... I'm assuming that, if a plugin can be adapted to CakePHP, it should be trivial to adapt it to a different framework too.
A quick google search finds this to combine CSS files: http://www.tothepc.com/archives/combine-merge-multiple-css-files/
For ASP.NET projects, I have made it a part of my build process based on instructions by Karl Seguin.
Karl describes it best on his blog, but the short version is to set up a console app wrapping YUICompressor. Then you can set up a post-build task to call that console app against the location of the JS files in your site.
If your webapp is in PHP you should consider using minify:
For this knowing Python might actually be useful. You can learn Python pretty quickly. I started about 2 weeks ago and my first application(which still isn't finished) is going to do the exact same thing you want. Like the DotLess compiler it will have a watch function that will look at files or directories and if they change it will generate a new file.
Python is also great for other maintenance tasks and I read a lot of system adminsitrators like to use it.

This question already has an answer here:
Sometimes you just want to let out some steam, and troll about some technology or software. You are not looking for any answers, but for users with similar experiences and interesting stories. So why not create a separate discussion site (trolling.stackoverflow.com?), where you could ask questions like "why do you hate technology X" or "What are the stupidest bugs you encountered in X"?

The 1948 States' Rights Democratic Movement in Texas
Date: August 1979
Creator: Griffin, James P.
Description: The purpose of this paper is to examine, from a local perspective, the reaction of the southern conservative wing of the Democratic party to the liberal changes which occurred in that organization as a result of the transitional decades of the 1930s and 1940s. In particular, the study focuses on the growing sense of alienation and the eventual withdrawal of a handful of Texas Democrats from affiliation with the national body and their subsequent realignment with other dissident Dixie Democrats in the short-lived States' Rights party of 1948. This work is based essentially on the personal recollections of Texans who participated in the States' Rights movement and on those papers of the party's leaders which have survived until today.

The Actions and Operational Thinking of Generals Stratemeyer and Partridge during the Korean War: Adjusting to Political Restrictions of Air Campaigns
Date: May 2008
Creator: Sambaluk, Nicholas Michael
Description: Airpower played an important supporting role in the Korean War, and as General of the Army Douglas MacArthur pursued victory in the war and President Harry S Truman's objectives altered throughout the first year of the conflict, tension arose between the two men. One issue in these frictions was the restriction of airpower. Not only MacArthur, but also his admiring subordinate Lieutenant General George E. Stratemeyer commanding the Far East Air Forces, and Fifth Air Force commander Major General Earle E. Partridge opposed the restrictions which had been imposed on airmen from the outset of the conflict. Stratemeyer did so partly because of his loyalty to MacArthur, who wanted latitude in coping with the situation in the field and defeating the Communist enemy. Partridge did so because he thought they endangered his personnel and limited the effectiveness of airpower in the war. These commanders had a fundamentally different opinion from Washington regarding the likelihood of overt Soviet intervention in the war, and because they did not think the Korean War would become a world war, they were more willing than Washington to prosecute the war more aggressively. MacArthur's conflict ended with his removal in April 1951, and Stratemeyer (who suffered ...

Adapting on the Plains: the United States Army's Evolution of Mobile Warfare in Texas, 1848-1859
Date: May 2013
Creator: Buchy, Mark B.
Description: The Army, despite having been vexed for a century on how to effectively fight the Plains Indians, ultimately defeated them only a decade after the Civil War. This thesis will bring to the forefront those individuals who adapted fighting techniques and ultimately achieved victories on the Texas frontier before the Civil War. The majority of these victories came as a result of mounted warfare under the direction of lower ranking officers in control of smaller forces. The tactic of fighting Indians from horseback was shown to be effective by the Rangers and later emulated by the Army.

The Administration of Spain Under Charles V, Spain's New Charlemagne
Date: May 2005
Creator: Beard, Joseph
Description: Charles I, King of Spain, or Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was the most powerful ruler in Europe since Charlemagne. With a Germanic background, and speaking French, Charles became King of Spain in 1516. Yet secondary sources and available sixteenth century Spanish sources such as Spanish Royal Council records, local records of Castro Urdiales in Castile, and Charles's correspondence show that he continued the policies of his predecessors in Spain, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. He strove to strengthen his power and unify Spain and his empire using Castilian strength, a Castilian model of government, Roman law, religion, his strong personality, and a loyal and talented bureaucracy. Charles desired to be another Charlemagne, but with his base of power in Spain.

Aliens and atheists: The Plurality of Worlds and Natural Theology in Seventeenth-Century England.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Oliver, Ryan
Description: The plurality of worlds has had a long history in England, which has not gone unnoticed by scholars. Historians have tended to view this English pluralist tradition as similar to those found on the continent, and in doing so have failed to fully understand the religious significance that the plurality of worlds had on English thought and society. This religious significance is discovered through a thorough investigation of plurality as presented by English natural philosophers and theologians, and in so doing reveals much about England in the seventeenth century. As natural philosophers incorporated plurality within the larger framework of natural theology, it became a weapon of science and reason to be used against the unreasonable atheists of late seventeenth-century England.

I'm in India and I have some friends in the US. We met a few players from different countries online (Malaysia ... etc) and we want to setup an online game. The problem is how to find a good TIME to schedule our games.
For example I'm usually free from around 6pm - 10pm (and sometimes from 7am - 8:30am) in my local time zone. The others would have their own preferred times. Is there any service or tool we could use to find the best or most optimal time slot that everyone could use?
The current idea we're experimenting is converting our timezones to GMT - but does anyone have a better or EASIER way?

"Your attitude is like the aroma of your heart. If your attitude stinks, it means your heart's not right." - Grant Taylor, "Facing the Giants."
Entering Week 4 of the high school fall sports seasons, minus golf, which started in early August, one can see the good, bad and ugly if you attend a handful of sporting events.
And, that's just the parents.
I have said it before and will again, if you get tossed out of any sporting event, you should be banned from all games for the rest of the season.
You want to know about the game, listen to it on radio.
Other than that, go stand at the cemetery and watch the game being played at Harding Stadium.
Since it's not high school sports, for all kids to not get in a youth football game, minus disciplinary measures, is unacceptable. Winning at all costs is the reason why measures have been put into Little League.
Love Peyton Manning's humbleness. Way too many athletes need to watch how he handles himself. He gets it. All class and treats people with respect.
Whether the team is 3-0, 0-3, 7-1 or 0-8, the rest of the season is all about heart - just as the early part of the season.
Will teammates spend the rest of the season whining about this or that, putting themselves about the rest of the team, or will they choose to put the team above themselves and do whatever is asked of them?
Since I did it, and still regret it to this day, all things being equal, I still do not understand quitting a team.
I watched two 0-3 teams play Friday night - Toronto and Weir High. Although both teams lost, the Red Knights and Red Riders did some really good things on both sides of the ball while I was in attendance.
I know that may be hard to see sometimes considering the 0-3 start, but, both are getting better.
High school coaches do not implement a game plan for it to fail.
Sometimes, the other team is just better and that's OK.
I really like the back of the Air Force football uniforms.
"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes." - John Wooden.
If your athletic team is struggling, I can promise you not one opponent feels sorry for you.
By the way, yes, officials are going to make mistakes and there will be times those mistakes are going to be huge. Anybody see the call Jerry Meals made at first base to end Saturday's Orioles win over the Yankees?
It was brutal.
Yes, that's the same Jerry Meals.
And, go ahead baseball, keep your head in the sand and say the instant replay is not needed.
On Saturday at the U.S. Open tennis, Bill McAtee said "Ivan Lendl's expression hasn't changed in the last 3 hours." In reality, Lendl's expression hasn't changed since he was 3 years old.
I am glad to see that ACC football continues to prove its large measure of mediocrity.
Dear Arkansas fans, at some point in time your defense has to make a play after your offensive line did it's best to ensure stud quarterback Trevor Wilson was hit every time he went back to pass.
One motorcycle ride later, the Razorbacks are out of the top 25.
From Mike Tirico on Twitter ... "Officiating, like playing, like announcing, like anything without an eraser .. Never perfect."
Did the NFL replacement refs makes mistakes? Yes. Did it cost any team a game? No. NFL brass likes this because it's better leverage for them.
Curious about this "heart" thing, check on Herod, Lot's wife, Nebuchadnezzar, Abraham and Daniel.
Penn State sophomore kicker Sam Ficken had a terrible Saturday, going 1-for-5 on field goals, missing from 20 and from 42 on the last play of the game.
An extra point was also blocked.
Ficken wasn't made available to the media after the loss.
"This certainly isn't on him. It's on all of us as a team," junior guard John Urschel said he told Ficken after the game.
"He was obviously down on himself. He's a good football player. He's a team player. He's a great team guy, so he's obviously going to feel bad and try to take responsibility, but it's not on him at all. We lost this as a team today."
As a team.
It's really obvious parents have zero idea what their kids post on social media sites.
It's OK when we get out of our comfort zones. It's how we get better.
In today's world of social media and "I want it now" attitude, patience is getting harder and harder to find.
"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." - Proverbs 16:18.
If John Wooden was willing to kick Bill Walton, at the time the best collegiate basketball player in the nation, off the team, then all athletes are game.
The Pirates are 3-11 against the Padres, Cubs, Astros and Brewers lately. They are 9-20 since Aug. 8. Can anyone find that fork?
How many people trust Elijah Otis now?
Comfortable and convenient are not always good things.
Selflessness beats selfishness every time.
The absence of self is wonderful.
Listen the first time.
If your parents get on your nerves, there is a really good chance you get on theirs.
It's not my job to be a friend to my teenage daughter and son.
Really nice to see Peyton Manning back in uniform.
Yes, RGIII is going to be more successful this year than Andrew Luck.
Madonna will hold its annual homecoming game Friday night.
One week later, Rory McIlroy is still really good.

Box Score | Game Notes
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Feb. 15, 2013) – The San Antonio Rampage (21-21-3-5) blanked the Grand Rapids Griffins (30-16-2-3) 3-0 tonight in front of a crowd of 10,018 at Van Andel Arena. The win is the fourth-straight win for the Rampage, and puts them on a franchise-best 10-point game streak. They also improve to 3-0-0-0 on the season against Grand Rapids.
Jacob Markstrom earned his first shutout of the year and his sixth career AHL shutout, stopping all 28 shots he faced to earn the Second Star.
Matt Gilroy scored his second goal of the Rodeo Road Trip in the early stages of the second period, with assists from John McFarland and Joey Crabb. His tally was followed by Garrett Wilson, who converted on a sweet pass from Bobby Butler for his 10th of the year and 50th of his professional career to make it 2-0. Ryan Whitney collected the secondary assist on the goal. Drew Shore continued his dominance of late, netting his third-straight goal and fourth in five games in the third period to effectively shut down the Griffins.
Gilroy earned First Star honors, with Butler picking up the Third Star.
After a period of stingy play, and only 12 combined shots, the Rampage and Griffins took a route similar to last night's game, entering the first intermission in a 0-0 draw.
Despite outscoring opponents 71-32 in the second period, and outshooting the Rampage 21-16 through 40, the Griffins were dominated in the middle frame by the Silver and Black.
Gilroy opened the scoring just 1:46 into the period, banging home a McFarland rebound as the young winger burst into the zone to fire off a shot. Grand Rapids netminder Petr Mrazek made the initial stop, but Gilroy was hovering just above the crease and tipped it past the goalie and into the net to make it 1-0.
The assist gives McFarland eight points (4g-4a) in his last 11 games. Crabb earned the secondary assist for nine points (4g-5a) in his last 12 games.
At the 7:29 mark, the Rampage extended their lead as Ryan Whitney put the puck on net from the blueline. Butler picked up the rebound on the goal line, and fed a beautiful pass up to Wilson, who was waiting in the slot. He wasted no time in putting it home, beating Mrazek and making it 2-0 for the Rampage.
Though the Griffins would fire 14 shots on Jacob Markstrom in the second period alone, the Rampage goaltender stood tall to keep his team in the clear heading into the third.
Shore stayed hot for the Rampage, netting his third goal in as many games at 3:49 of the third. Capitalizing on a nice feed from Butler, Shore made it 3-0 for the Rampage, a hole that the Griffins would not climb out of.
The Rampage went 0-for-3 on the power play, and kept their kill rolling, as Grand Rapids went 0-for-1. The game is the third-straight in which the Rampage have allowed one or less goals, as well as the third-straight in which they've allowed just one power play opportunity against. The Rampage were outshot 28-25.
The Rampage will travel to Ontario to take on the Hamilton Bulldogs for the first time this year for a 12 p.m. puck drop on Monday, Feb. 17. Individual and season tickets can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554, or online at sarampage.com.

Is there a way to find which processes in my system are getting connected to net automatically. Is there a way to select and block net access of some processes permanently? I use mint 11. I use a USB datacard.
You can do:
This will give you the list of all current network connections and processes associated with them.
You can see which ones are going outside your network you might be able to
The way to block the process from accessing the net would be to install a Proxy like SOCKS 5 and force the processes to log in. The other way is to have a firewall and systematically block the target sites. Beyond that I don't see a way of selectively blocking the access.
You can't control which applications have access to a network connection. That would be pointless anyway, as a program could invoke some other program to connect to the internet on its behalf (e.g. invoke a web browser or a web crawler if it wants to make HTTP(S) requests, or invoke netcat, etc.).
If you want to watch what processes make network connections, see Logging outgoing connections as they happen.
If you want to prevent a process from making (some) network connections, run it as a dedicated user and add firewall rules containing that user; see iptables/pf rule to only allow XY application/user?, How to restrict internet access for a particular user on the lan using iptables in Linux, Can I limit a user (and their apps) to one network interface?.
