I have seen Contour diagrams for Equipotentials . That are drawn like so:
I also saw One image for these contours that was in 3D (Negative Point Charge) :
I was Wondering If there's any equation that represents these Contours In 3D?
Because I wanted to recreate these
3D Contour On
Mathematica. I Know A little about 3d functions but not much.
But I do Know that this 3D Function Looks A bit like the function
$$f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}$$ and $$f(x)=\frac{-1}{x^2}$$ But I couldn't get it to taper at the tip.
Could Anyone tell me how it could be made into 3d or how i could make it taper into a pointed tip at the top/bottom.
BTW:{It Also resembles the physics.stackexchange.com Logo but isn't differentiable at the top}
I tried to make it 3D using the same equation but i got something like :
For this $$f(x)=\frac{-1}{x^2+y^2}$$ I got:
but it isnt as steep as the countour i wanted.

Unanswered: Combo box with autoLoad Json Store
Am I right in saying that Ext 4 still doesn't handle a combo box with a Json Store set to autoLoad correctly?
By this I mean that if I declare a Json Store and then a combobox on a form, if the combo box renders and has it's value set before the Json Store has finished loading, the combobox won't display it's value correctly (displaying the valueField not the displayField value)
As far as I can tell from the forums, this has been an issue since Ext v2 and despite several conversations around making the combobox automatically defer it's setValue call until it's store has loaded, nothing has changed.
Is there a definitive Ext 4 override/solution for this frustrating problem? I'm tired of having to preload all my stores on forms that have several combo boxes in case we end up with a blank combo or one with an id value instead of the 'english text' value.

Sorry to hear this has been so much trouble for you. I searched but couldn't find posts relating to this issue. Were any bugs filed? I hate to ask, but do you have a test case that reproduces this issue?

The 5 Most Baffling Sex Scenes in the History of Fanfiction
#2. Indiana Jones Has His Way with Lord Voldemort
The Scenario:
When Tom Riddle (the alter ego of the evil Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter books) goes looking for an artifact that can grant him immortality, he's going to need a guide. And who better to guide this nubile young man, not just in his quest for the artifact, but also in his quest for self-discovery (read: dong) than Dr. Indiana Jones, everyone's favorite middle-aged whip-wielding archaeologist?
Or so it goes in this heartwarming story. After leading nineteen-year-old Voldemort out into the Egyptian desert, alone, Indy does some shameful things to him, including rubbing his boner on him in his sleep, interrogating him about his sexual preferences, and generally being roguishly good-looking.
But It Really Gets Creepy When...
Indy continually refers to Riddle as "kid," even while pounding him in the ass, and takes Tom's lack of argument as consent:
"You're touching me. That's not considered appropriate behavior," Tom whispered, his bottom lip trembling while his limbs felt frozen.
"Maybe not. But I don't think you're going to stop me." Indiana stroked his hand up Tom's hip, and pulled his shirt from his trousers. Tom's eyes fluttered shut when he felt Indiana's fingers touch the skin of his lower back. But he forced them open again and stared into Indiana's determined eyes.
"I should stop you." Tom knew he should. This was a Muggle. Not to mention a man twice his age. But that didn't bother Tom as much. This was a Muggle, and Tom was a wizard, and this Muggle had no right to lay a hand on the heir of Slytherin.
"Stop me," Indiana said, and made it sound like a dare.
"I fucking dare you."
So now in addition to archaeologist, professor, Nazi hunter, and badass, Dr. Jones can claim the title of "sort-of rapist." Naturally, in the end, Riddle is forced to reveal that he's a wizard, which leads to some awe-inspiringly ridiculous innuendo.
Tom remembered how good he'd felt the previous night, how good Indiana's cock had made him feel. He gave Indiana a lopsided grin. "We could play cards. Or we could discuss music." He got up on his knees and pushed Indiana down on the sand. "Or we could make magic," he whispered, slipping his wand from his pocket.
In fact, it would take an expert to determine where exactly the innuendo stops up there.
Plausibility Factor: 7
As far as Harry Potter-related fuck stories go, this one makes a lot more sense than the whole Lance Bass/Weasley Twins debacle earlier. And we admire that the writer tried to line up the time periods. They both exist in a world of magical artifacts, so they get some extra leeway there.
However, every Harry Potter fan knows that Riddle would be highly unlikely to accept help from Indy, a lame-ass Muggle. Compounded onto that is the fact that we just refuse to imagine Indiana Jones halfway molesting teenagers. We'd never look at Short Round the same way again.
#1. Dr. McKay From Stargate Atlantis Beds a Comic Strip Character Somehow
The Scenario:
Jason Fox from the comic strip Fox Trot is all grown up, and doing things Bill Amend never dreamed of. Gentlemen, get ready to have your minds blown.
See, this is the problem with the Internet: anonymity. Online, you can post multi-chapter porno fantasies about the Sunday comics, then you get to return to your normal life without people realizing they probably need to avoid you.
This tale starts when Jason is hired to work in Atlantis for...some secret project. While trying to find his way around, he stumbles across Rodney McKay, resident snotty 40-year-old genius. McKay, previously straight, is instantly attracted to the now-adult Jason Fox, carefully avoiding the fact that he only exists in two dimensions:
Rodney was all set to give the guy a glare, but it faded away when he got his first real look at him. In point of fact, his mouth went a little slack and there may have been some drool.
After three more chapters of awkward, repetitive rambling in which they've become BFFs, they sit down for a heart-to-heart chat and decide they'd like to do it. It happens in the kind of blunt dialogue exchange that every sexually repressed "friend" dreams of:
"You're my friend, Rodney, probably the best one I've had in a long time. I like talking to you, hanging out with you, and I even like listening to you complain about dumb stuff. And now that you've pointed it out, I think I might like trying sex with you."
The result is about as hot as you'd expect.
But It Really Gets Creepy When...
Here's the description of Jason, from Dr. McKay's point of view:
Yellow blond hair in an untidy mop that was more high school boy than professional academic. Bright blue eyes and thin framed glasses. Incredibly smooth, fair skin that screamed of a complexion blessedly free of acne and other skin problems. A fine-featured face that was more pretty than handsome with a pink-lipped mouth that already seemed heavily kissed.
Yes, that's exactly how we'd describe this guy, if we had to:
Plausibility Factor: 0
The only part of this that makes sense is that Jason probably could grow up to be an astrophysicist working on top-secret projects. That does not however overcome the fact that he exists in a two-dimensional world of primary colors, where all humans have what would be considered gross deformities in our world. Any act of sex between them is unthinkable, therefore we're not going to think about it any longer.

I was using
gparted to resize a near-terabyte ext3 partition, adding about 40 GB to the left. After nearly 12 hours of moving data (and with 23 more hours estimated to remain) the system hung. Now
fsck reports too much illegal data in every inode. How do I fix the FS in this case?
I was using
Unfortunately, I think you are quite screwed. If you only messed with the partition table then TestDisk is your best shot, but since you have been resizing (which actually means copying and maybe even deleting), your data is, more or less, corrupted.
If you have a backup from before performing the resize operation, this is a good time to use it. Else, I don't know what you can do, I would ditch the partition and create a new one, saying goodbye to the data inside. A lesson that has to be learned from this is, always be careful with your data. (Of course you should try waiting to see if there is any super great answer that can do better, but don't hold too much hope.)
Now if you really have a backup, an easier way to "resize" is to delete the old partition, create a new one, then restore the data there.
I had the same problem and will post how I solved it for future visitors.
I found some hooks to tackle my problem at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
And I am currently using
For example, with
Look at the numbers the
Next you have to point to where any recovered files should go. Take a different disk (or at least partition) with enough space. Next a long journey may begin, trying to rescue over 60+ recognized file formats. The filenames will be lost, but in case you are looking for any video shots of your grandchildren or grandparents this is worth the hassle. File size might help with that.
Well another 20+ hours to wait and see if anything is recovered 100 percent.

Grenada is one of the fastest growing tourism market in the Caribbean and has a shortage of high quality holiday properties. The value of your property will increase during the next years. As a result, the World Travel and Tourism Council has predicted tourism growth of 5.5% per year between 2006 and 2015, far above the average for the Caribbean as a whole. Grenadas tourist market is supported by direct flights from the UK, USA and Continental Europe, as well as by two downtown cruise ship terminals which received over 245 cruise ship visits holding over 240,000 passengers between October 2005 and April 2006. As well a new marina, new commercial centre, a duty-free shopping mall and a planned golf resort will increase the islands desirability over the coming years.
Renowned for its picturesque, mountainous interior of rainforests and waterfalls and its coastline of protected bays with diving bases or wale watching excursions and secluded beaches, Grenada is the last undiscovered jewel of the Caribbean. As one of the few islands which has remained unspoilt by tourism, Grenada, offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the real soul of the region, with colorful clothing, aromatic Creole cooking, vibrant calypso music and tranquil palm-fringed beaches. The temperature during the whole year varies only between 25 32 ° C.

|James Pope
In its landmark Heller decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own a gun. Professor James Gray Pope, in recent articles in the Yale Law Journal and the Maryland Law Review, contends that it's time to reassess the potential scope of another often "forgotten" amendment – the Thirteenth. The amendment that prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude is widely accepted to protect three labor rights: the rights to quit work, to change employers, and to set the wages for which one is willing to work. Professor Pope proposes that the Amendment supports broader labor protections, most prominently workers' rights to organize, and suggests that flawed claims about some of its features have limited the development of Thirteenth Amendment doctrine.
Why do you find the Thirteenth Amendment "the noblest and most fascinating of all constitutional provisions"?
Today, we are accustomed to thinking of our Constitution as a fount of justice. Before the Civil War, however, most seekers of justice turned to the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. As everybody knows, but few want to recall, the Constitution protected slavery, most famously in the fugitive slave and three-fifths clauses. Not until the Thirteenth Amendment repealed those provisions could justice and constitutionalism truly combine forces. Today, the Thirteenth Amendment is the only constitutional provision that unambiguously calls upon Congress and the courts to identify and enforce unenumerated rights.
How can Congress and the courts tell what rights are protected?
The Amendment guarantees all rights necessary to negate the conditions of slavery and involuntary servitude. In Pollock v. Williams, the Court suggested that the Amendment protects rights necessary to provide workers with "the power below to redress" and employers "the incentive above to relieve" a "harsh overlordship or unwholesome conditions of work." Applying this standard, the Pollock Court held that the Amendment protects the right to change employers.
What factors have limited the application of the Thirteenth Amendment?
As in the case of the Second Amendment, courts shied away from applying ordinary methods of constitutional interpretation to the Thirteenth Amendment. The situation improved somewhat during the 1960s, thanks in part to the efforts of Rutgers' own Arthur Kinoy, but the Amendment still has a long way to go.
Are there current examples of "involuntary servitude" for which the Thirteenth Amendment has relevance?
The most dramatic single example is the phenomenon of "human trafficking." Congress has already broadened the definition of involuntary servitude to include psychological coercion, and so far the Courts of Appeal have approved. Now that scholars are beginning to look more seriously at the Amendment, a host of additional applications are under discussion including abortion (literally "forced labor"), child abuse, and racial profiling.

Lagging Behind
In 2003, the U.S. Catholic bishops' National Review Board put together a request for proposals for two studies of the church's sexual-abuse scandal. One study would examine the "nature and scope" of the crisis. Another would look at its "causes and context." I was a member of the board at the time. We selected the John Jay College of Criminal Justice to conduct both studies. Last month, John Jay released the second study [pdf] to decidedly mixed reviews.
The John Jay research team, led by Karen J. Terry, has followed the National Review Board's request. We wanted to know what factors made the epidemic of abuse happen (causes) and what environment helped it thrive (context). The Review Board published its own report [pdf] in 2004, when Justice Anne Burke of Illinois served as interim chair. That report was based on more than eighty interviews with bishops, priests, victims, victims' family members, victims' advocates, psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists, and priest-perpetrators. The board concluded that the selection and formation of seminary candidates was seriously faulty and that the response of the bishops was seriously deficient, from their presumptions in favor of accused priests and their disdain for dealing with victims to their reliance on secrecy and therapy to avoid scandal. But the board knew that such an anecdotal report needed to be vetted against all available facts. That would take several years, and that is what we asked John Jay to do.
John Jay found that the epidemic of child sexual abuse that engulfed the church in the 1960s and '70s was primarily the result of ill-trained and psychologically unsuited priests who found themselves spiritually at sea in the rapidly changing sexual and social mores of those years and who turned to defenseless children as an outlet for their confused sexual yearnings. Critics of the report have made much of this finding—noting that John Jay only backed up what some bishops had been saying for years. That does not mean the report is wrong. Sometimes intuition can be right. And, to be fair, the bishops were not alone in making that claim. They were working from what the National Review Board said in our 2004 report, which was not controlled by the bishops.
The John Jay report is important because it provides the facts to help us grasp what happened in those years, and outlines the steps necessary to prevent it from happening again. To the bishops' credit, many of those steps have already been taken. The heightened screening procedures for seminary admission and ordination, together with a new emphasis in seminary training on human formation and how to deal with the challenges of celibacy, will, if maintained, go a long way toward limiting the number of sexual misfits we ordain, although, as the report admits, it is almost impossible to identify most potential abusers in advance. Similarly, the safe-environment programs now in place in every U.S. parish and diocese go a long way toward protecting children. Not only are church volunteers (lectors, ushers, religious-education teachers) required to go through safe-environment training, but so are children, who are taught to identify signs of impending abuse and instructed to seek help if they are made to feel uncomfortable. This training has made it much more difficult for abusers to harm kids.
That leaves one other factor that helped cause the epidemic: the bishops themselves. As did the National Review Board's 2004 report, the John Jay report clearly identifies the bishops' inadequate response to reports of child sexual abuse as one of the major factors in the crisis. "To fully achieve change in the Catholic Church, all diocesan leaders must be committed to transparency about their actions, ensure that the immediate and appropriate responses to abuse become routine, and ensure that such actions are adopted on a national level by all church leaders," the report says. "Most diocesan leaders [are doing this] yet some dioceses have continued to lag behind."
That some dioceses still "lag behind" is inexplicable. The Dallas Norms were adopted by the bishops and sent to Rome for ratification in 2002 so that bishops' responses to abuse would be immediate, appropriate, and transparent. It is not comforting to hear that nine years later, some dioceses (read "bishops") are lagging behind. Unfortunately, given the Philadelphia grand-jury report released in February, neither is it a surprise (see "The Fog of Scandal").
We can do all the seminary screening and human-formation training in the world, and we can run safe-environment programs until we're blue in the face, but without the buy-in of every single bishop some of our children remain in danger, and that is unacceptable.
Although perhaps John Jay was too polite to say so, that is the one remaining problem with the church's response to child sexual abuse by clergy—there is no policing mechanism for bishops who are derelict in their duty, who do not follow the Dallas Norms, and whose actions or inactions lead to known abusers victimizing more children.
This is not just an American issue. While there is a lot of good to be said for the recent letter sent by the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith to the bishops conferences of the world requiring them to adopt guidelines to deal with allegations of sexual abuse by clergy, the document has a fatal flaw.
Guidelines aren't norms. Norms have the force of canon law; guidelines have the force of suggestion. Guidelines leave too much up to individual bishops, who can be quicker to protect their prerogatives than anything else, something the John Jay report and the National Review Board report emphasize happened in the early years of the U.S. crisis.
The U.S. bishops adopted good abuse guidelines at their meeting in November 1992. As the John Jay report notes, the vast majority of bishops followed them. But a small minority did not, one of whom declared at the November 1992 meeting, "Nobody is going to tell me how to run my diocese." And, no surprise, it was in the dioceses (for example, Boston) where bishops ignored the guidelines and refused to limit their episcopal power in deference to the common-sense judgments of their confreres that the 2002 crisis first broke.
So guidelines throughout the world are not the best answer, simply because there will be some bishops who will choose not to follow them, as happened here between 1992 and 2002. When our guidelines failed because some bishops ignored them, the U.S. church had to turn to the Dallas Norms, statutes that had the force of canon law for every bishop, every diocese in the United States. And, as the John Jay report notes, those norms are working where they're being followed—which is in most, but unfortunately not all, U.S. dioceses
Given the American experience, I don't understand the Vatican's reluctance to require norms, not guidelines. The CDF's letter does not rule out norms, and even reminds the bishops of the extra steps they'd have to take to adopt them (mostly getting Vatican approval). If a bishop in a country that eventually adopts guidelines chooses to ignore them, what will happen? Will a Vatican official show up and ask "What are you doing?" I don't think so. There are well-known cases in the United States where norms--particular canon law for the country, not simply guidelines, were ignored by bishops and there were no consequences.
One Vatican observer, Sandro Magister, recently suggested that the Vatican wanted guidelines and not norms in order to avoid excessive centralization and excessive Roman legal responsibility when things go wrong: "This centralization has opened the door…to the risk that Vatican authorities and the pope himself could be dragged into court, for crimes committed by their 'employees' anywhere in the world." How sad if that is the reason. This is the same mistake that the U.S. bishops made in their first response to the crisis: Ignore the victims and don't do anything that might admit your own responsibility. Even sadder because the reasoning is faulty. Exercising jurisdiction over crimes does not make you responsible for the crimes. It doesn't even make you responsible for ignoring the crimes. (Think every state government.)
As the John Jay report emphasizes, the current response—the one designed in Dallas in 2002—has worked well for the most part. The one failure with the U.S. bishops' response to sexual abuse of children by priests is the lack of a policing mechanism for those few bishops who ignore the national norms and whose inaction allowed other children to be harmed. But this is not a failure of the bishops. This is a failure of the Vatican. And, unless Rome requires bishops conferences to adopt enforceable norms rather than ignorable suggestions, that failure will continue.

Somehow, we've distorted, even in our religious approaches to life, the meaning of our sexuality. We have inherited remnants of Gnosticism, Puritanism and Jansenism; all of which saw sex as lower nature, concupiscence, animal instincts, base appetites and other negative euphemisms. These attitudes can be traced back to the ritual purity requirements of the Jewish priesthood, and perhaps beyond. Similar attitudes are found in certain Oriental religions, and we are told that the married Gandhi took a vow of celibacy toward the end of his campaign for the freedom of India.
Today's distortions are the overreactions to yesterday's. If you hold a light object under water, then let go, it will not simply rise to the surface, but beyond it, then fall back. It takes some time to reach equilibrium, and makes a lot of waves in the meantime.
I believe that celibacy may attract some people who have distorted concepts of both women and sexuality.
The difficulty I have with the Causes and Contexts chapter of the John Jay investigation of sexual abuse by Catholic priests is its near exclusive reliance upon statistical inference to establish "context." It is not the inherent relativism of this approach, but rather its inevitable sanitization of avoidable human error and the resultant lost of personhood for the victims of this abuse.
That abusers exist and that some will always deal inappropriately with personal issues of "human formation" is not a surprise - it is the age old challenge of a faith community that professes to live by the precepts of loving one's neighbor while deploring acts of vitimization. Of greater import would seem to be - how does such a faith community evolve its vigilance and reliability of commitment to "the least among us" in the face of modern life.
There would seem to be little reason to doubt that effective leadership will always play a role in our aspirations to be a Church compassionate in the way the Christ was. In an age when transparency of action and motivation is under constant scrutiny, leaders are closer than ever before to the front lines of accountability - unless they choose to bunker themselves away from it.
Of the many remaining concerns going forward, about dealing with inappropriate sexual action by priests, this issue of the permissability of hiding from the facts remains one of the more prominent for which there would seem to be a straight-forward remedy. The standard for those in positions expected to provide moral leadership should be uniform; its practice should include the well-ingrained instiutional habit of vigorously questioning the urge to withhold engagement with unpleasant facts.
This is not a tendency that most managers or leaders come by naturally - it is best assured by rigorous institutional norms of mutual challenge in advance of authoritative decision-making. These are matters of climate, not simply of procedure for it is clear that procedural "requirements" can, and routinely are, ignored or circumvented. It is however, possible to assess any diocesean climate in terms of its commitment and practices of "Just Culture." Opportunities for improvement - endless though they may be - can be identified and worked continually as a matter of central faith commitment rather than being viewed as the occassional and distasteful exercise of "fraternal" or other corrective action.
Its worth considering - what can bishops to do to engage this opportunity to lead rather than to give into the the impulse to find "things are not as bad as they said."
The analysis does not pass the smell test. Doubtless, some folk as well as priests were influenced by the sexual revolution of the 60's. Inferring this a as the principal cause of priestly misbehavior seems a huge reach and a transparent effort to disqualify all other possibilities. Many of the offenders were themselves principal defenders of a very much tightened approach to sexual mores. The enormous numbers of priests with arrested development even still today, is far more significant evidence of something else at work - could it be the demand for celibacy? Too many come to ordination as asexual beings, repressing any urges or instincts - is it any suprise that soon the barriers are insufficient to keep them in check? It seems that most of those reading the report suspect that much more was and is going on than mere statistical chance.
A brief comment on guidelines vs. norms. The Vatican has backed itself into a corner by gutting the authority of national bishops' conferences. They are right to want to avoid even more centralization; an organization as large as the Catholic Church (or even one much smaller) cannot successfully be operated as a flat organization with every bishop reporting to the pope alone. We need effective intermediary organizations, and the national conferences could and should be one of them.
To its credit, the Vatican recognizes that conditions are not everywhere the same around the world. Here in the U.S., they have come under criticism for not requiring worldwide that bishops report abuse to the civil authorities. In many parts of the world, however, the civil authorities are worse than the Church in dealing with such problems, or are simply inimical to the Church and would use such reports to retaliate. Our policies need to be tailored to local constraints and conditions, and that requires a degree of decentralization. Without effective intermediate structures, the only remaining "solutions" are 1)provisions in canon law which would apply everywhere, or 2)guidelines, which are merely unenforceable suggestions.
But the Vatican is so afraid of "national churches" and of losing its own power and prerogatives that it has continued to flatten the church organization. That is why, for example, the recent bishop of Baker, Oregon (now moved to Santa Rosa, CA) could refuse to make annual reports to the USCCB, saying that he didn't work for them; he worked only for the pope. He also refuses to conduct, or allow to be conducted, the abuse-prevention training mandated by the U.S. bishops. And he is not the only such case.
There is more than one dimension to this problem, for sure. But one of those dimensions which remains largely unaddressed is the structural one. We need structural changes for many reasons, but sexual abuse is surely one of the most pressing.
This is an excellent discussion of the John Jay report that shows a much more balanced interpretation of their findings. To the conclusion many in the media have drawn that the report condemns "the sixties" as a root cause, you correctly point that the root cause was the training and screening of candidates for ordination. Any external event could have stressed a system with poorly trained (and supervised) workers under changing circumstances.
To the key point made here - the lack of accountability by the bishops (norms versus guidelines) - my issue is that the current governance model of the church allows for little or no accountability of the local ordinary. There is no chain of command, only a weak oversight.
Re. "the lack of accountability by the bishops". I just finished viewing a press conference in which it is revealed that a former abbot of the Benedictine community of St. John's Abbey --- a man who committed to transparency regarding known abusers, a man who when presented with accusations against members of his community did nothing about them --- was himself a child molester of the most heinous kind: using the Sacrament of Confession to assault minors. (see mnsnap "The Truth" on Youtube)
"The one failure with the U.S. bishops' response to sexual abuse of a child by a priest is the lack of a policing mechanism for those few bishops who ignore the national norms and whose inaction allowed other children to be harmed."
What is to happen to the religious order superiors who likewise refuse to act on their own norms? And while I am asking questions, What happened to Cardinal George when he ignored the norms of his own Charter?
As long as the Catholic Church is run by the same old boys' club in the Vatican, nothing witll ever change.
I discovered that a long-time newsreporter at the Catholic New York, newspaper of the Archdiocese of New York, was apparently in the Masters Program at John Jay during the time of this study and as a matter of fact, her thesis had the same title. Interestingly, her monitor/supervisor for her these was the principal investigator for the USCCB's study, Dr. Karen Terry. If you check out Dr. Terry's curriculum vitae on her own personal website, you will find this newsreporter's name.
I continued on with my investigation and contacted this newsreporter at the NY diocese's Catholic newspaper and, yes, you guessed it, she was speechless, tongue-tied and dumbfounded. She could provide little explanation regarding what I notice to be a conflict of interest, academic and research integrity issue, etc. She referred me to Dr. Terry, principal investigator, for any questions I had relative to academic integrity and conflict of interests.
And then this same person has been covering the release of the USCCB report and the press conference down there in Washington, DC. Hey, I would like to know if the NY archdiocese paid for her masters program at John Jay.
Despite requests to the President Travis and other academic professionals involved in the John Jay Study commissioned by the USCCB, the only response was from the Director of Communications at the college who informed me that there was no conflict of interests.
The study was funded by the USCCB, whose President is Archbishop Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York, which owns the paper, Catholic New York.
It seems strange to me that ever since the reign of John Paul II anyone can claim that the Vatican is afraid of excessive centralization. At the same time, however, I can readily see why the Vatican may hesitate to put out some universal norms that demand bishops involve civil authorities when in many instances several of those same civil authorities are quite hostile to the church. I think that's a problem deserving of some thoughtful commentary, and I'm sorry I don't have a ready answer.
Perhaps it is the task of journalists to keep before the public the names of American bishops and dioceses that refuse to follow the guidelines (which seem to be norms for Americans because of the Vatican's approval) especially if the Vatican refuses to enforce its own norms. There could be a little box containing those names in every issue of The National Catholic Reporter, Commonweal, First Things, America, etc.
The epidemic of sexual abuse was not directly the result of changing sexual mores; it was indirectly the result of changing sexual mores. As a now mostly retired clinical social worker, I was there in a mental health center when a great influx of victims of childhood sexual abuse entered our doors in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It wasn't so much a great increase in abuse as an increase in recognition and reporting of such abuse. Prior to this "epidemic," authoratative psychiatry texts gave the incidence of child sexual abuse as one in a million. We now know it was unfortunately much higher than that. Studies show that a sizeable minority of adults (some studies say up to half of all women) have had some type of inappropriate sexual contact or abuse as a child.
After a few published memoirs of childhood sexual abuse, and a few TV movies on the subject, and more openness about sexual matters generally, the public became much more aware and open about this abuse. It was an epidemic of openness more than an epidemic of abuse.
The church has been 20 years of more behind this awareness and openness. Part of this is due to all its leaders and frontline practitioners being celebate and thus not family men with direct concerns about their own children It's debatable whether, or to what extent, there was more sexual abuse of children by priests in the 60s and 70s; there was more reporting of such abuse occurring during this period as there was in society at large.
The church's being so behind on this issue shows the limitations of a large organization led by men without firsthand knowledge of marriage and parenthood. At least the church needs more input from women and from married couples at the highest levels.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After picking up two straight victories at home at 133, sophomore Zak Hale has moved up one position to third, while junior Sean Turner has moved back into the top-eight to sixth in the latest Basford Division II Region 2 rankings, released on Monday.
Hale continued his impressive season with back-to-back wins against Coker's Charlie Huff, who was ranked No. 8 in the region, with an 8-7 decision and UNC Pembroke's Dylan Bernier with a 15-0 technical fall, his first victory by technical fall of the season. For the year, Hale leads the Trojans in wins with a 17-4 record with five pins.
Turner, who was unranked in last week's poll, moved up to the No. 6 position. The Monroe, Mich. native is 7-3 with three pins for the season, but has dropped two of his last three bouts while battling injuries. Turner looks to recover in time for the regional tournament on Feb. 28 in Tiffin, Ohio, looking to advance to the NCAA Division II Championships.
Anderson returns to action on Thursday when it heads to nationally ranked Newberry. The first bout from Eleazer Arena is set for 7 p.m.

CTEMF 2013 rocks Cape Town, the music-loving Mother City
Electronic music has taken Cape Town, the music-loving Mother City, by storm in recent years, and her residents came out in their thousands to show their love for this fast-growing genre at the 2013 Cape Town Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF), at the V&A Waterfront on Saturday 16 February, 2013.
Featuring the likes of local spin doctors DJ Ready D featuring Youngsta, Seven Raggasouljah, Forgotten Free-quencies and more, this year's festival blew electronic music lovers' minds – and then some.
First up was Forgotten Free-Quencies, showcasing the best of Cape Town tunes. Their music and lyrics had the crowd enthralled while, with true Cape Town beats, DJ Real Rozzano and Denver Turner took the stage and owned it met 'n anne klank (with a different sound). The lyrics of their hits so often draw on the displacement of coloured people in the time of apartheid.
Next up was Mix N Blend, the cool kids from Cape Town. They partnered with a Mother City music legend, EJ von Lyrik, who was a member of the legendary but now disbanded female hip hop group Godessa.
By far the most recognisable face and beat was DJ Ready D, a Cape Town pioneer from local hip hop band Prophets of Da City, who took to the stage with a new kid on the block, Youngsta, and they had audiences up on their feet with their slick set.
Check out the photos and video below of what you missed at the rocking 2013 CTEMF:

I don't really know how to or want to compile php from source, but i need php without suhosin. As you may know the main repository comes with suhosin patch. this is causing errors on my website and I need it gone. the attempts to disable built-in suhosin failed and the only reliable option i have is to install php from source.
Is there a repository that comes with php5 but without built-in suhosin patch, so i can just install php through apt-get and be done? Thanks.

Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency is a type of fatty acid oxidation disorder. There are two forms of carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency. The most common type happens in newborns. A milder, less common type happens in older infants and children.[2]Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency is a condition that prevents the body from converting certain fats called long-chain fatty acids into energy, particularly during periods without food (fasting). Carnitine, a natural substance acquired mostly through the diet, is used by cells to process fats and produce energy. People with this disorder have a faulty transporter that disrupts carnitine's role in processing long-chain fatty acids.

I have two questions here.
- What does the cipher-text overhead means?
- Why we were suggested not to encrypts the plain-text itself instead just encrypts only the key (i.e random number)
I have two questions here.
OTOH, if you are referring to Hybrid Encryption as suggested in the comments, then this is the explanation - The advantage of PKI is that it does not require the 2 parties to share a common secretHowever, PKI is much more inefficient and slower than symmetric cryptosystems. A hybrid cryptosystem combines the convenience of a PKI with the efficiency of a symmetric encryption.
In hybrid encryption, the symmetric key to be used for the encryption is agreed upon using PKI, but the rest of the communication is encrypted by the symmetric key.
For very long messages, the bulk of the work in encryption/decryption is done by the more efficient symmetric-key scheme, while the inefficient public-key scheme is used only to encrypt/decrypt a short key value.

I had a dual boot setup on my system, with ubuntu 11.04 and Win7. Yesterday I updated ubuntu to 11.10. Now , I cannot seem to be able to load Win7 , I do see an entry for it on the boot menu. I select that entry and then the screen goes black , with everything coming to a standstill. I tried to wait for it to respond but nothing happened.
I went through the forums and tried "grub-update" but when I do that , nothing really happens. I am not sure of this , but I get no output from grub for upto 10 minutes ( can grub-update be made verbose )
How can I fix this and get back to booting both OS'es properly ?

Do you use a phone number parking/forwarding service?
I have a cell through work. But, also have a personal one which I just forward calls to my work phone. My personal cell is on a family plan, which I'd like to dump as the contract is expiring next week and just get my family pre-paid phones (or less expensive plan). I have no need for me to have a personal cell for me anymore, but don't want to lose the number and want to be able to have calls forwarded to me still.
I see there are a few services out there, and was wondering if anyone has used any. Also, has anyone used Google Voice to do this? I'm looking to do this as cheaply as possible, but with a company that isn't fly-by-night.
Any experiences?

I use and recommend Google Voice. You can port your number in for $20: Port your number into Google Voice FAQ.
This will work great if your work phone is an Android phone, because you will be able to specify for each outgoing call (using the phone's native dialer, even!) whether it should be from the handset's number or your Google Voice number (or you can have all outgoing calls just use one or the other, whatever you want).
I haven't ported my number, but I do have a Google voice number set up for a home business. I have it ring to my cell and my home phone - it works wonderfully.
I use google voice and I've been very pleased with it. I especially appreciate emailed transcriptions of voicemails; they're not always accurate (recently, I received a phone call from a colleague at "North Korea University" - yeah, not so much!), but good enough that I can always get the gist of a voicemail from the transcript so I can judge how urgent or important the matter is.
As for forwarding personal calls to your work cell - be aware that (in many states), using a device for both personal and business use means that your employer can take action based on your personal use (people have been fired for sexual harassing personal texts sent from a phone paid for by an employer) or vice versa.
@neuropsychosocial: I also like the email transcripts, and have similar innaccuracies - but I can usually figure it out enough to see if I need to listen, call back or just ignore. I also really like the feature where you can force people to state who they are before it rings through to you - since I use it for business calls from random strangers that feature is very helpful.
I carry a personal and work phone myself. I believe my carrier still charges for every call that is forwarded (perhaps not, I haven't checked recently) and I don't want to pay for that. Also, to your point, I don't need my company knowing all of my personal business - so I use my personal phone for personal calls, texts, emails, internet etc.
@mkdr: Just to clarify, my point about the complications of using a mobile device owned by an employer for personal use was inspired by @kmeltzer saying "I have no need for me to have a personal cell for me anymore, but don't want to lose the number and want to be able to have calls forwarded to me still," not by anything that you said. :)
@neuropsychosocial: I own the device, they just pay for the service. It's under their business account simply to make it easier than me submitting an expense report every month for it. I'm not too worried about any action :-) Been doing this for a few years, just finally getting the chance to ditch my personal account.
The few of you who have (so far) responded seem to echo a lot of things I've read about Google Voice. From what I understand, when my plan goes to month-to-month when the contract expires, I should just be able to transfer the number then call and terminate.
@neuropsychosocial: Oh, I figured that, just thought it was good advice and wanted to add my two cents :)
Google Voice is awesome....go for it. You won't be sorry.
I've used Google Voice since Day 1, and have been really happy with it. One of the things not mentioned yet is texting- I LOVE being able to text from my PC @ home or work and not have to rely on tiny phone buttons.
Yeah, I know, it sounds old but when you're arthritic you'll use whatever advantage you can.
Thanks again to the answers. I think I'm going to just sign up for Google Voice with a new number, and just forward that to my cell. I figure I probably don't get enough calls on my personal one to make porting it matter. Plus, since it's the primary on a family plan, I don't know if it'd cancel the whole plan when I port it (thereby meaning I have to find something new for the family before I need to).

Hot news for Han Solo fans!
Latino Review reporter Umberto "El Mayimbe" Gonzalez appeared on Fox News Latino Saturday, Feb. 16, to break the news that Harrison Ford will definitely be back to reprise the role in Star Wars VII, slated for 2015.
Rumors have been swirling since November, but Gonzalez is the first to claim he has confirmation.
"I found out yesterday. I did my due diligence, like I do with everything. Triple checked. Legitimate sources...His deal is done," Gonzalez said.
Ford and Lucasfilm have not yet confirmed anything, beyond that J.J. Abrams will direct.
Although Ford said in an ABC interview in 2010 that he thought Solo "should have died in the last" Star Wars film, Entertainment Weekly reported in November that Ford was interesting in playing the role once more.
The Latino Review has a strong reputation for breaking film news, notes Total Film.com, so it looks like we can all start debating whether Ford, 70, should return.

Windows 7 sensors. I'm just waiting for the smorgasbord of USB and wireless sensor gadgets to inundate us.
Scott Hanselman list looks pretty cool. Here are the links for the other two programs mentioned in the show:
welcome back dan! good to hear poopage is progressing as planned
(welcome back brian too, but you havent been gone as long )
sensor platform is awsome, too bad there arent that many devices out there yet though.. do you know if there is a way to write a managed wrapper of a sensor and have sensor platfrom use that? if not, do you know of any good tutorials on how to write a sensor driver from scratch? file > new to driver visible in win7 i mean..
in anycase, there needs to be a wiimote driver for sensor platform
family guy ftw
(warning, childish, hilarious)
Many people don't get Dynamic, and what they don't get, they don't want. Some not only don't get it, they see it as a way to circumvent the type system and so hate it. As Anders says - if you don't have the types in the first place, why should you have to have ugly syntax just because the compiler doesn't have the types.
Many others (at least used to) think that C# is just Java rehashed (I still hear this today from some people), in a way it was, but any new language is a rehash of something else. But they're not the same. They have very different generics, different ways of dealing with primitive types vs reference types. Java generics is compiled with type-erasure. Etc., etc., etc. That these differences are constantly glazed over is just annoying.
Now, with LINQ, Lambda expressions, Dynamic, etc., we're getting much more detached. And indeed we see Java copying C# & co. Mutually recursive development, the way it should be (don't really like the word "innovation").
Great show guys! Good to se you both back (although the crew filling in for you was awesome ).
As for Synergy goes it's a great piece of software. I've been using it for couple of years now. Unfortunately it's has been out of development for some time now I also have one issue with it. When I'm using it at home with my PC (which has XP SP3) and my Laptop (which has Windows 7) I have to turn of UAC on my laptop, otherwise it won't work
Brian: what's with the hat? Sunburnt head? Ill advised holiday haircut?
Thanks for the inSSIDer tip -- I am now interference free!

Managed Wifi library - http://www.codeplex.com/managedwifi
I'm emailing Yochay Kiriaty, our Windows 7 guru to see if there's a definitive list of sensors that work on Windows 7 and the recommended tutorials for writing one. As for a Wiimote driver, I know Brian Peek is looking at that
Just heard back from Yochay, there is no list of sensors that work on Windows 7, but they'll be a lot more by Win 7 RTM. As for a recommended tutorial, he sent this - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/sensors/default.mspx.
awsome i'll check that out, thanks
good to hear about brian and the wiimote too, if anyone can do it, he can
Great job on compiling the webcast, guys! Can't wait to see Visual Studio 2010 with multi-monitor support.
Nope, nothing like that - but one of my friends in Brazil gave me the hat and I just decided to wear it to work that day.
Good to have you back guys ,)
hi plz any one can send me window 2008 sever link i wan to check the senser ...
Sensor support is currently in Windows 7, not Windows Server 2008. I'm not sure if they plan on bringing this support to Windows Server or not...
Update! The name of the Brazilian who was singing the TWC9 theme song before my TechEd session was Alfred Meyrs, a C# MVP. Thanks to my friend Rodolfo Roim for pointing that out. It was one of the best ways to get ready for a presentation - Alfred, thanks for making my day.
Brian Keller
Nice show, however...
...if you're going to recommend some tool to your viewers, don't you think you should test it before you do?
I've tried this Markup Tamer in VS2008 and it greates errors in my code in the first file I applied it on.

How to put my registered domain name into DNS server? Is there any DNS server available in this world?
migrated from webapps.stackexchange.com Jul 29 '11 at 15:11
This question came from our site for power users of web applications.
I use Route 53 from Amazon and create A records pointing to my IP. From Route 53 it'll give you the name servers to setup with your registrar so that DNS is handled by Route 53. Now when people go to your website it'll route to Amazon for DNS and ec2 for hosting.
I would assume that you will have to set up your own dns server (as part of an EC2 server ?) and have the IP address of that dns server put in as your domain's main DNS. I obviously don't know how your setup looks like, but you should be able to set up BIND and then change the entries of your domain wherever it's registered to point to that.

I recently read that Lance Armstrong used EPO to win cycling championships. I wish to improve my ability to run long distances quickly. Will taking EPO be good for this, and are there any negative side-effects?

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in red blood cell (RBC) production. It was originally developed as an external drug in the early 1900's to aid people with poor RBC production or other disease pathologies such as anemia.
By itself, EPO will do nothing to enhance your running ability. What it does do, is enable you to do more work by making available more oxygen to working muscles. This enables you to work harder, which in turn should make you faster. It is an enabler, not an instant result.
However, there are quite a lot of drawbacks to EPO supplementation in an otherwise normal person. One of the biggest is that when you artificially increase the RBC count in blood, it does not also increase the plasma/sera (liquid portions of the blood), so your blood becomes thicker. This makes it harder for the heart to pump the blood through the body, and when coupled with a lowered resting heart rate (A very common side effect of being fit), you highly increase your chance of stroke and death, especially when sleeping. There have been over 20 deaths in professional cycling in recent years linked to EPO use.
Obviously, people make their own choices, but if you are considering supplementing with EPO I would highly encourage you to research it thoroughly and understand the dangers and the risks that you take with your life by doing so.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
« Ce » is only used for objects and sometimes for non-human living creatures (depends of the relation you have with it). It's a little bit like « it » in English. In fact, most of the times, if you would refer to something as « it », use « ce » instead of « celui », « celle », « ceux », ...
In your case, « ce qui » means « the thing that », but « ceux qui » means « those who ». It has a perfectly similar meaning, except that the subject is once « it » and once « they ».
For somebody, we would use celui qui (masc) / celle qui (fem) / ceux qui (plur) instead:

Get down and dirty in the garden
by Taylor Miller
Taylor Miller, Garden Gnome, Product Reviews, My Garden, Brinno, GardenWatchCam
For so many people across the country, the promise of spring is so close that it's tempting to think that, maybe, if they stand just a little higher on their toes they'll fall into warmer weather. I, on the other hand, conceded to old man winter and moved to south central Texas last summer—I just couldn't stand to look out my window another day and see snow. (And boy was there a lot of that this year!) Having said that, it's this time of the year that I'm leaning back as far as I can for the beautiful 60- and 70-degree temperatures that flavor the "winter" days of the Lone Star State.
Shortly before I left Kansas, a company called Brinno sent me their GardenWatchCam to review, a clever little weatherproof time lapse camera that's perfect for capturing your growing garden all season long. I'm reviewing the product now because I think it's at this time of the year (and not at the end of the summer) that the device is most exciting to think about.
The GardenWatchCam is easy to use and to install. Just plug in the included four batteries and two gigabyte USB drive, screw in the flexible mounting stake (made out of that strong thick plastic that can actually penetrate the tough Kansas clay), choose one of the seven different time setting options and aim! The GardenWatchCam will take photos for months without a battery change and comes with software for play back on your computer. The relatively low 1.3 megapixel camera does take pretty impressive photos and can be alternated between a landscape shot and a macro one (though it's tough to tell the difference). It's also smart enough not to take photos at night. The only real drawback to the device is that there's no viewfinder, so it can be frustrating if you're looking to pin down the exact right angle.
While picking up and moving your life isn't conducive to photographing your stationary garden, I still wanted to try out this nifty gadget, so I cooked up an idea. The method I used to move was with a company called PODS. Essentially, how that process works is that the company drops off a storage container at your house and you rent it for a month. That means you move your stuff into the lockable storage container at your leisure, and when it's packed, the company will pick it up and drop it off at your new change of venue.
When I saw that the top of the storage container was a thick transluscent plastic, sort of like a milk jug, I decided to tape the GardenWatchCam to the wall of the unit and track the contents in motion as the unit was shipped to Texas. What sounded like it was going to be a really swell idea turned out to be, well, only just a little bit cool. In the video, which I've posted below, you'll see me packing the last few things into the unit.
The POD was about 8 feet tall, and unfortunately, the camera was taped too high up (it's hard to aim when your tripod is duct tape). So while the POD doesn't look very full—it is, trust me—packed like pickles. The camera captures the 10 or so days the unit was in transit—the heat of the summer months increasing the further south it traveled. If there's anything to watch, it's the hangers in the top left side of the video. Apparently one brand of hanger is not good with heat! Check it out:
So, after a more or less failed first attempt, I decided to give it a second go, this time with a Chia Pet Cat I got for Christmas. A few caveats about this video: I had the GardenWatchCam take a photo every five minutes. So for the first 1/3 of the video, the Chia Cat is covered in a ziplock plastic bag (this is to create a "greenhouse" effect to facilitate sprouting). During the two weeks the Chia Cat was being captured, the real cats in the house decided to rethink how the camera should be aimed. I can't seem to catch a break! Skip to the 54 second mark if you want to get right to the good stuff.
So while my short films probably won't win any Oscars, a lot of other budding photographers on the internet captured some really great images with the GardenWatchCam, check them out below. And speaking of budding, go get the GardenWatchCam now, because spring's here in less than a week.

$A$ is a nonzero $n \times n$ matrix such that $A^2=0$. If $n=2$, is it possible that I can show that there exists an invertible $2 \times 2$ matrix $S$ such that $S^{-1}AS=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$?
My first approach to this was to rearrange the equation so that it appears as $A=S\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}S^{-1}$ but it is kind of weird because this would mean $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0\\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is the eigenvalue matrix. And this isn't a diagonal matrix.
I got no more idea and so I looked at the hint and it says I could let $\vec{u} \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $A\vec{u}\neq0$ and then make $S=\begin{bmatrix} \vec{u} & A\vec{u} \end{bmatrix}$ to continue from here. But I don't understand how can I just anyhow throw in a vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$ into the eigenspace matrix $S$ without even confirming that $\vec{u}$ is a eigenvector of matrix $A$?

Then, with a wooden spoon handle or some other similarly-sized object, begin poking holes in the warm cake.
You want the holes to be fairly big so that the pudding has plenty of room to get down in there. Be sure to poke right down to the bottom of the cake.
Spread it all out and using the back of the spoon, gently push pudding down into the holes.
Put the cake into the fridge to set and cool (about 2 hours).
Spread it out evenly over the pudding layer.
This cake needs to be kept refrigerated.

Ski areas rebound from rain as Christmas vacation week arrives
Local ski areas were impacted by the heavy rain, however, with some being forced to close Sunday and/or Monday, but all said they were in good shape headed into the all-important Christmas vacation week, with plenty of snow on the trails, thanks to the combination of man-made snow and natural snow which fell earlier in the season and made for good bases on the alpine slopes and ski touring trails.

How to Avoid Exploding Sausage Syndrome (00:32)
Master sausage-maker Ryan Farr of 4505 Meats has seen too many sausages explode on the grill when eager and hungry cooks throw the meat down on high heat. To avoid such fat-splattering mishaps, he recommends that you poach your sausage first. You can then grill it—or just eat it poached.

I have a mongodb database data on my computer. I want to upload that into amazon.com server.
The bottle neck is the internet connection.
One way is to zip the file and then upload it to the server. But what about if after that I want to synchronize the server data with current data?
Another is to set the mongo in server as slave of the data in my computer. However, my computer is a home computer that connect to the internet via router. So how do the amazon server knows the IP of my computer? The IP is fe80::6df8:c5f9:bdb5:b9e2%15
It seems that it's the IPv6 IP. I do not know the IP4 IP.
So how do I turn a server in my computer to become master? How do I set the router to pass on connection?
Then there is mongodump. Is it fast?
Which one do you usually use?
