We have a checklist for projects, this list is represented as a project tasklist so we can track to progress.
At the moment we add documents to a document library on the same page, but this way they are not directly associated with the checklist.
Another way to do it would be to add the documents to the list items, but there are no document management system features like versioning available then.
Which way do you prefer? Is there some best practice for this? Any (simple) way to associate the files in the library with the list items (Maybe add a dropdown list with the items of the tasklist to the upload document form and view the associated files in a new column at the project tasklist somehow)?

I want to solve $P(e^{X_1}+Ke^{X_2}<c) = \alpha$ for $K$, where $c$ is a constant and $X_1,X_2\sim N(0,1)$. To find $P(e^{X_1}+Ke^{X_2}<c)$, I can write it as an expectation $E(I(e^{X_1}+Ke^{X_2}<c))$,where $I()$ is an indicator function then do a Monte Carlo simulation. How can I determine K?
As long as you can evaluate $P(...) = f(K)$ for any fixed value of $K$, which you suggest doing by Monte-Carlo, you now have a 1-dimensional root-finding problem, e.g. find the value of $K$ such that $f(K)=\alpha$, where $\alpha$ and $f$ are known.
Numerically, such problems are typically solved by Newton's method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method for well-behaving $f$ (need existence of and ability to compute $f'(K)$, which you have) or by the Secant or Bisection methods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_method.

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
New Clues to Memory Loss
Dec. 29, 2011 -- Strokes so tiny they are termed ''silent'' may be linked to memory loss in older adults.
Previously, experts thought that memory loss among older adults was caused by deterioration in the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in memory and other functions. Although that is still true, study researcher Adam Brickman, PhD, says his new research adds another possible cause to the list.
"What our study suggests is, even when we account for the decline in memory attributed to hippocampal shrinkage or degeneration, that strokes ... play an additional role in the memory decline," Brickman says. He is the Herbert Irving assistant professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Typically, he says, stroke has been linked to loss of mental abilities such as how fast we process information or attention, but not necessarily memory.
The new research is published online in the journal Neurology.
Strokes and Memory: The Possible 'Silent' Link
The researchers tested 658 people. All were age 65 or older and free of dementia. They gave them MRI brain scans. They also tested them on memory, language, speed at processing information, and visual perception.
The men and women were enrolled in a larger study of aging and dementia. All live in northern Manhattan.
The researchers looked at the MRIs for evidence of these tiny strokes and counted them. "These are strokes for the most part that people didn't realize they had," Brickman says. "On an MRI, it's like a dark hole that indicates some tissue loss due to vascular injury." Vascular injury refers to blood vessel damage.
To evaluate shrinkage, the researchers identified the hippocampus on the MRI and manually measured it.
Silent strokes were found in 174 people.
Those who had the silent strokes scored worse on memory tests than did those who did not.
The silent strokes also were linked with a smaller hippocampus size. Smaller hippocampus size, by itself, was also linked with poorer memory.
But the link between stroke and memory loss was found regardless of the size of the hippocampus.
The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health. Brickman serves as a consultant for ProPhase LLC, a firm involved in applied measurement for clinical and pharmaceutical research. Other co-authors report serving as consultants for Pfizer, Merck Serono, GlaxoSmithKline, and other drug companies.

Ronald K. Chen, Acting Dean of Rutgers School of Law–Newark, has been appointed by the New Jersey Supreme Court to a new Special Committee on Attorney Ethics and Admissions. The committee, chaired by retired Chief Justice James Zazzali, of counsel at Gibbons PC, will study recent American Bar Association (ABA) amendments that reflect changes in technology and global legal practice.
Dean Chen, who currently serves as vice chair of the Court's Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, said of his appointment: "It is very significant that the Supreme Court wants to ensure that the rules governing the legal profession keep up with the changes brought on by advances in technology, and by an increasingly mobile and indeed global society. I am very humbled that they have asked me to participate, and am glad that I can be of service to the Court."
Also named to the committee was Edna Baugh, assistant director for clinical administration at the law school. Baugh is vice chair of the New Jersey Supreme Court Disciplinary Review Board.
In announcing the committee, Chief Justice Stuart Rabner said: "We look forward to the committee's recommendations about how to change the New Jersey Rules to respond to these developments."
The ABA changes were adopted at the recommendation of its Commission on Ethics 20/20. Topics address by the Commission include confidentiality in a digital age; ethics issues arising from new forms of advertising; outsourcing of legal services; issues relating to lawyer mobility; choice of law problems related to conflicts of interest; issues relating to out-of-state lawyers; and practice of foreign lawyers in the U.S.| Read Story

The 6 Most Horrifying Lies The Food Industry is Feeding You
#3. Fake Berries
Imagine a blueberry muffin.
One muffin, you greedy bastards.
Even with your freshly gained knowledge that there may or may not be some cellulose in the cake mix, it's pretty impossible not to start salivating at the thought. This is largely because of the berries themselves. What's better -- they're so very, very healthy that it's almost wrong for them to taste so good.
We could taste delicious if we wanted to. Stupid show-off berries.
Everything is better with blueberries -- that's why they put them in so many foods. Now that we think of it, there sure seems to be a lot of blueberries in a lot of products. You'd think we'd see more blueberry fields around ...
The Horror:
... not that it would do any good, as the number of blueberries you've eaten within the last year that have actually come from such a field is likely pretty close to zero.
We can almost hear the muffins mocking us.
Studies of products that supposedly contain blueberries indicate that many of them didn't originate in nature. All those dangly and chewy and juicy bits of berry are completely artificial, made with different combinations of corn syrup and a little chemist's set worth of food colorings and other chemicals with a whole bunch of numbers and letters in their names.
They do a damn good job of faking it, too -- you need a chemist's set of your own to be able to call bullshit. You can sort of tell them from the ingredient lists, too, if you know what to look for, although the manufacturers tend to camouflage them under bullshit terms like "blueberry flakes" or "blueberry crunchlets."
Natural News TV
Nothing says "nature" like petrochemical-derived food coloring.
There are a number of major differences between the real thing and the Abomination Blueberry: The fake blueberries have the advantages of a longer shelf life and, of course, being cheaper to produce. But they have absolutely none of the health benefits and nutrients of the real thing. This, of course, doesn't stop the manufacturers from riding the Blueberry Health Train all the way to the bank, sticking pictures of fresh berries and other bullshit cues all over the product packaging.
Now, here's some good news: The law does require the manufacturers to put the whole artificial thing out there for the customers. The bad news, however, is that they have gotten around this, too. First up, the Kellogg's Mini-Wheats way:
This is somewhat recognizable. They just stick a picture of the berries there, while not actually bothering to conceal the fact that the actual cereal looks like it's made of cardboard and Smurf paste.
A bunch of Betty Crocker products and Target muffins use the second route, which brings the cheat level even further by actually containing an unspecified amount of real berries. This way they can legally advertise natural flavors while substituting the vast majority of berries with the artificial ones.
All but three of these are made of plastic.
Or, you can just take the "we don't give a fuck anymore" route, as evidenced by General Mills' Total Blueberry Pomegranate cereal. The whole selling point of the product is that it contains a bucketload of blueberries and pomegranates, and the package boasts all the buzzwords the marketing department has been able to dream up:
Find The Best
In reality, not only are the blueberries fake, but also they've forged the freaking pomegranates as well.
#2. "Free Range" Chickens That Are Crammed Into a Giant Room
Buying "free range" eggs is one of the easiest ways to feel good as a consumer -- they are at least as readily available as "normal," mass produced eggs from those horrible giant chicken prisons Big Egg maintains. Hell, they even cost pretty much the same. There's literally no reason not to buy free range even though, now that we think about it, we're not actually sure what that means. But the animals must live in pretty good conditions. In fact, let's buy our meat and poultry free range, too!
Fresh air, green grass, plenty of cocks ... free range chickens have it good.
Well, according to law, the definition of "free range" is that chickens raised for their meat "have access to the outside." OK ... so that's not quite as free as we assumed, and it appears to only apply to chickens raised for their meat. But at least they still have some freedom, what with the outside and all that.
The Horror:
Words have power, and "free range" in its original sense means unfenced and unrestrained. That makes it a powerful phrase that, no matter how smart we are, conjures subconscious images of freedom hens, riding tiny little freedom horses out on the plains, wearing hen-sized cowboy hats and leaving a happy little trail of delicious freedom eggs in their wake. There may be mandolin music.
Although we have it on good authority that chickens prefer Jay-Z.
But the reality is there are absolutely no regulations whatsoever for the use of the term "free range" on anything other than chickens raised for their meat. Your Snickers bar could be free range for all the government cares.
The industry knows this full well and happily makes us lap up the free range myth, even though in reality a free range hen lives in pretty much the same prison as a battery cage hen -- except its whole life takes place in the prison shower, rather than a cell.
Look, they're free!
Awareness of the free range myth is slowly increasing, but although a manufacturer that has been pushing his luck a bit too much does get jailed every once in a while, that doesn't do much to the overall phenomenon. In fact, Europe is set to ban egg production in cage systems come 2012. Guess what the replacement is going to be?
#1. Bullshit Health Claims
Nuts that reduce risk of heart disease. Yogurts that improve digestion and keep you from getting sick. Baby food that saves your kid from atopic dermatitis, whatever the hell that may be. Products like that are everywhere these days, and we do have to admit it's hard to see any drawbacks to them. We eat yogurt anyway, so why not make it good for our tummy while we're at it?
"This brand treats syphilis and diabetes."
It's just that we can't keep wondering where all these magic groceries suddenly appeared from. One day your peanuts were peanuts, and then, all of a sudden, it was all coronary disease this and reduce heart attack risks that. Maybe Food Science just had a really, really productive field day a while back?
Or, of course, it could be that we're being fooled yet again.
Amazon Fresh
We don't know if we could handle Mr. Peanut lying to us.
The Horror:
The vast majority of product health claims use somewhat older technology than most of us realize: the ancient art of bullshitting. The "health effects" of wonder yogurts and most other products with supposed medical-level health benefits can be debunked completely, thoroughly and easily. So why are they able to keep marketing this stuff?
It all started in 2002, when many ordinary foods found themselves suddenly gaining surprising, hitherto unseen superpowers. This is when the FDA introduced us to a new category of pre-approved product claims. It was called "qualified health claims," and it was basically just another list of marketing bullshit the company can use if their product meets certain qualifications. This was nothing new. What was new, however, was that the list said no consensus for the scientific evidence for the product's health claims was needed.
"That pepper will keep you hard for hours, and eggplant works in lieu of chemotherapy."
Since "no consensus needed" is law-talk for "pay a dude in a lab coat enough to say your product is magic and we'll take his word for it no matter what everyone else says," companies immediately went apeshit. Suddenly, everyone had a respected scientist or six in their corner, and the papers they published enabled basically whatever they wanted to use in their marketing and packaging.
We're not saying that none of the products boasting health properties work. There are plenty out there, but they're kind of difficult to find under the constant stream of bullshit supplementary claims. Come on, food industry -- just tell us the truth. Don't you realize that we'll just eat it anyway? Shit, people still buy cigarettes, don't they?

The 6 Most Unsettling Medication Side Effects
Being the kid who resembles a cross between the pock-marked crater that is Bryan Adams' face and the blistery red ass of a toad is no fun. Trust us, we know.
Thus, acne treatments are huge business. When the standard wipes and ointments have failed, there is the drug Accutane. This is the loose cannon cop of the acne drug world, the last resort when all other options have failed.
Side effects may include ...
Side effects can include crying spells, rectal bleeding and bone fractures.
Uh, wow. OK. Though all of this could be kind of funny if it happened to a friend, we suppose.
Somewhat less amusing, and well worth the description of "alarming" are side effects like hepatitis, psychosis and hirsutism. That last one is, in fact, an overabundance of hair. Finally, and we're unsure of the logistics on this one, but according to Rxlist.com, you can also, somehow, end up with herpes.
Basically, in your quest to get rid of acne, it's not outside the realm of possibility, slim though it may be, that you could end up as a psychotic wolfman with VD. One with anal bleeding.
Should you worry?
OK, each of those are just barely in the realm of possibility, and winding up with all of them has probably never happened. If it has, we'd have to speculate it was less the Accutane and more the vengeance of an angry Old Testament God trying to teach someone a lesson about vanity.
Anti-depressant Zoloft comes with enough side effects to turn anyone's terminal frown upside down.
Side effects may include...
While Viagra, predictably, comes with amusing warnings about prolonged erections, Zoloft too can saddle users with a "persistent, painful erection." So whether or not Zoloft actually makes you feel better about the world, the world will at least get the impression you're happy to see it.
This awful wood you're sporting also has the advantage of shooting blanks, as the mechanically labeled "ejaculation failure" is a fairly common side effect of the drug. While ejaculation failure is probably no laughing matter, the combination of words always makes us think of a very important military operation that has gone horribly awry. When the good guys attempt to deploy ejaculation, a computer screen flashes the words "Ejaculation Failure!" in bright, red letters, and the only choice left to save the world from the forces of evil is for the hero, possibly Patrick Swayze, to go out on the wing of an F-16 and ejaculate into the wind. Don't ask why, just accept that it will save the day.
Should you worry?
The ejaculation failure thing happened in about 14 percent of the patients in one study. The persistent painful boner thing is common to most drugs of that type, and shouldn't cause major problems, though can create issues in the workplace if you wrestle or teach ballroom dancing for a living.
Treating bacterial infections has been close to the hearts of sailors, businessmen and dad for years. Knowing this, the medical world wouldn't stop at just penicillin, it had to go out and create many drugs, such as Levaquin, to help battle the nasty souvenirs we get from rusty nails and drunken whores in foreign ports.
Side effects may include ...
It can turn you into a vampire.
Seriously. We mean, it can't make you immortal or bloodthirsty, but it can kill your ability to handle sunlight. It's called "phototoxicity," which is characterized by rapid, second-degree sunburns. So, basically a poor man's vampirism.
To some of us, the ones who took a lot of art in high school and play role playing board games, a side effect that makes you a little more vampiric could be cool. On the other hand, you're also courting some "ruptured tendons." So while you may think you've just become Crypt Lord Lesbos, you take a step towards the closet to put on your black velvet underwear and snap, there goes your Achilles tendon, exploding along with any hopes of ever getting laid.
Should you worry?
The bad stuff is rare and happens mainly to the elderly. If your body is a cesspool of bacteria and your doctor has prescribed you Levaquin as a result, please, please don't stop taking your pills as a result of this article. If your skin starts smoking in the sun or you suddenly start fearing crosses, call the doc and do whatever he says.
For an article about side effects that are a little more useful, check out our rundown of 5 Mental Disorders That Can Totally Get You Laid. Or if you're concerned about how you're going to pay for all of your painful-boner-giving, gambling-problem-inducing medicine, head over to the blog and see what John Edwards plans to do about it.

I want to put another toilet/bathroom off my bedroom. The main bathroom is next door to the cupboard I want to turn into my new bathroom. What run do I need for the second toilet? The main stack is in the main bathroom, so it would mean the new, second toilet would be 3' from the 1st toilet and about 5' for the main drainage stack. Is it possible to run both toilets off the same run?
It depends on the plumbing code in your area. Where I live you'd need a permit to do something like this. Every fixture requires a minimum waste and vent pipe size, and adding more fixtures to a branch or stack could call for an increase in the diameter of those pipes. If you are determined to DIY you should at least refer to the local plumbing code to keep it legal. Good luck.

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A Kansas State University student is facing charges in connection with a crash that claimed the lives of two people on K-18 and left several others injured.
Miles Theurer, 24, was arrested at the Riley County Police Department Thursday, September 20, 2012 just before 2 PM on a Riley County District Court warrant charging him with two counts of Involuntary Manslaughter, two counts of Aggravated Battery and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI).
His arrest stems from an accident on Monday, May 14, 2012 on K-18 near Scenic Drive in Riley County, two miles west of the city limits of Manhattan. Due to road construction on the highway, traffic has been reduced to two lanes with opposing traffic traveling directly next to each other.
The crash involved two cars- a 2003 Chevy Silverado which was occupied by four people and driven by Theurer and a 2001 Buick LeSabre which was occupied by a couple- 31-year-old Elizabeth Young from White City, Kansas (the driver) and 32-year-old Michael Stanley from Ogden.
Troopers say around 3 AM that morning, Theurer's Chevy Silverado truck crossed over the center line and was going the wrong way eastbound in the westbound lanes of K-18. He ended up striking Young's car (that was going west on K-18) head on. Young and Stanley died at the scene and Theurer has been charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in each of their deaths. The warrant states that Theurer "unintentionally killed" the couple while operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08.
Theurer, along with three other passengers in his truck, were taken to Mercy Regional Health Center in Manhattan with injuries after the crash. Kansas Highway Patrol officials said all of the men were Kansas State University students. Two of the passengers were later transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka with serious injuries. Theurer's Aggravated Battery charges stem from the injuries Lance Schmidt and Andrew Mason received. The warrant says Theurer "caused great bodily harm or permanent disfigurement" to the two passengers.
Troopers reconstructed the accident scene during their investigation and once the reports and tests were complete, they presented their findings to the Riley County Attorney's Office, resulting in the warrant and Theurer's arrest four months later.
His bond was set at $50,000 and police records indicate that he is out of jail on bond as he waits for the case to proceed in the Riley County court system.
Kansas State University's website lists Theurer as a graduate PhD student in Veterinary Medicine. Officials said the other three men in the truck with him were also students in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Theurer's permanent address is listed in Wellington, Kansas but arrest records list a local address for him in Manhattan. A booking photo from the Riley County Jail is not available as it is the Riley County Police Department's policy not to release mug shots.

Letter to the Editor: Special Funds Often Raided
According to a recent Federal Communications Commission report, 13 states raided more than $135 million last year from their 911 funds -- with Hawaii redirecting $16 million, the third-highest amount of any state. ("$16M from e911 fund used to balance budget," Star-Advertiser, Aug. 20).
Raiding tax revenues from funds for 911 services, roads or any other programs with a dedicated tax stream for reasons other than their intended purpose is bad policy.
Diverting these taxes from their original purpose only creates slush funds for big-spending politicians. That is why taxpayers should be wary about approving earmarked tax increases in the first place.

Tampons, Mascara -- and the Morning-After Pill?
Should the FDA allow the sale of Plan B without a prescription?
The Obama administration tried to block the maker of Plan B One-Step, Teva Pharmaceuticals, from making the drug without restrictions. But in a letter to the FDA, the Justice Department conceded to the court rulings and asked the pharmaceutical company to file the application requesting no age or sales restrictions for the drug, noting that the "FDA will approve it without delay."
This is major news in the fight to make emergency contraceptives available, and it isn't a black-and-white matter of pro-choice versus pro-life. Is it crazy that a 12-year-old girl will be able to buy the morning-after pill as easily as a pack of gum? Or is this a landmark decision protecting our reproductive rights? Let us know what you think -- post your thoughts about Plan B availability without a prescription in comments below.

All of us here at Velodyne consider ourselves truly fortunate to be living in Silicon Valley, a beautiful place overflowing with opportunity. One of the main reasons this area is ripe with possibility is because its inhabitants, hailing from all over the world, have been afforded the chance for a good education.
This is what made sponsorship of students at the Tumaini Junior School in Tanzania a natural choice when we were considering the best way to give back.
The United Republic of Tanzania, located in East Africa, has a population of 39 million. A limited budget and poor infrastructure make it a challenge to provide quality education to young children. Many students from the majority of government-sponsored schools aren't provided with the resources and materials they need to succeed. This has produced a high rate of truancy and, subsequently, dropouts.
Some concerned citizens have founded private institutions in an attempt to help the situation for their local youth. Modest Bayo, a Tanzanian native and founder of the Tumaini Junior School in Karatu, is one of these citizens. He and his wife used their small home to set up the first formal class. It didn't take long before this space was too small to fill the needs of their ever-increasing number of students, who were eager to learn. In 2005, Bayo built the first official classroom in his backyard.
Each year since 2005, Bayo expanded his classrooms to accommodate the demand for educations. Bayo says his main goal is to instill a healthy degree of self-confidence in each student.
The word tumaini means "hope." And that's exactly what Bayo is giving back to his community. If you would like to help Bayo to fulfill his goals and live his motto, "strive for excellence," then click here to sponsor a student at the Tumaini Junior School.

Girls basketball roundup: Crosby player injured, game suspended
The Crosby-Torrington girls basketball game was suspended Tuesday night with just over a minute remaining in the first quarter after a Crosby player was hit in the head and had to be transported to the hospital.
Freshman Deborah Vaichus was hit in the head while coming off a pick, Crosby coach Phil Lott said. Vaichus made a 3-pointer, but fainted while running back down the court. "She was unconscious for a minute and unresponsive for a while after that," said Lott.
Vaichus was taken to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington, where Lott said that a CAT scan was taken and "didn't find anything." Although Vaichus was feeling better, she was being kept at the hospital for further observation, Lott noted.
Torrington was leading 12-9 with 1:06 to play in the first period when the game was suspended, Raiders coach Mike Fritch said. The game will be resumed at a later date. Fritch said he was unsure if the two teams will pick up where they left off or begin again anew.

Calendar and Contacts Server
The open source Calendar and Contacts Server project is a standards-compliant server implementing the CalDAV and CardDAV protocols. It provides a shared location on the network allowing multiple users to store and edit calendaring and contact information.
CalDAV is an Internet standard allowing a client to access scheduling information on a remote server. It extends the WebDAV (an HTTP-based protocol for data manipulation) specification and uses the iCalendar format for the data. The protocol is defined by RFC 4791. It allows multiple clients access to the same information thus allowing cooperative planning and information sharing. Many server and client applications support the protocol.
CardDAV is an address book client/server protocol designed to allow users to access and share contact data on a server. The CardDAV protocol is defined by RFC 6352.
The sources are available under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0.
The following sub-projects are hosted with CalendarServer:
What To Download

Obama's "War on Religion"
Here's a link to an article in Slate on the Supreme Court's upcoming city council prayer case. As expected, the Obama administration has argued in its brief that those who open city council meetings with prayers should be court martialed:
This fall, the Supreme Court will hear a big case about church and state, Greece v. Galloway. Greece, a town in upstate New York, routinely opens its city council meetings with prayers from local clergy. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals held that practice unconstitutional, finding the prayers had been overwhelmingly Christian. Because the facts are somewhat murky and the law murkier still, few people initially noticed the case. But last May, the Supreme Court agreed to decide it. And now suddenly everything is up for grabs.
Greece v. Galloway is still a case about legislative prayer. But at least one side is using the appeal as a vehicle to have the court totally revamp its approach to the Establishment Clause. The court may just bite. And in a truly remarkable turn this week, the Obama Justice Department just came into the case—on the town of Greece's side! Contrary to the positions of most appeals courts (and even some reliably conservative judges), and contrary to the language of earlier Supreme Court opinions, the solicitor general now takes the position that Greece's practice is perfectly constitutional and the presence or number of Christian references doesn't matter.
A double bluff, obviously.

I doubt that Greece is the only township in this area with sucha practice. I live about 75 miles from there and will be interested to see if this makes history. John Noonan's classic compendium on texts regarding religious freedom might be good background for all following this case.
I haven't seen the brief. But I don't understand how these two statements can both be correct:
"As expected, the Obama administration has argued in its brief that those who open city council meetings with prayers should be court martialed"
"the solicitor general now takes the position that Greece's practice is perfectly constitutional"
Give it a rest, please. Obama is just another Chicago machine thug -- at best. I understand Commonweal has a progressive bent, but this sychophantic covering for someone plainly unqualified to be president is pretty unseemly.
Patrick: Actually, it's not sychophncy. Read Shelby's White Guilt, and you'll understand. Many of the folks at commonweal are involved in acedemia, where the pressures to conform to the white guilt thing are enormous. Other than that, their not such a bad lot.
"Chicago machine thug" ?
Classy comment.
Obama is just another Chicago machine thug
I don't know why I repeated the comment. It certainly does not mean that I agree with it. I have deleted it permanently from my brain.
Patrick Kasarski---Thanks for your comment, but I confess I don't understand what it has to do with the topic at hand. Could you clarify, please?
This follows the president's decision to pump for abolishing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That has long been a Republican dream, so much so that they devised the story that Jimmy Carter, by encouraging home ownership among the undeserving, got Fannie and Freddie to lead astray the upright bankers who brought on the most recent Depression. Mr. Obama hasn't embraced the myth, but he has embraced the Republican solution -- just as he gave us the Swiss-Romney version of universal health care, offered us the Republican market-based (as opposed to tax-based) solution to greenouse gasses, and continued the Republican renditioning of suspected terrorists. I have finally figured it out: Barack Obama is really Bob Dole.
But it is inaccurate to tie him to the Chicago Democratic machine. He was allied with the reformers.
What does "court martial" mean in this context? And how can the Administration switch sides once they have taken a position in the case?
As a young reporter, I covered many local boards, councils, and commissions, and more often than not, they started with the pledge of allegiance and a short prayer (always something like this: O Lord, keep us ever mindful that we hold the public trust and to guide our hearts and minds so that we build our society in ways ever pleasing to your sight, Amen).
My beef was never with the prayers but with the fact that the prayers never seemed to do any good.
Why prosecute public bodies for praying in public when they clearly don't really mean it?
Make that Shelby Steele, not "Shelby". Don't know him well enought to call him by his first name; in fact I don't know him at all - only his writings.
Perhaps the remarkably insightfull wisdom so often found in the words and deeds of the speaker in the video found at the link below will help in differentiating satire from description when it comes to Obama. The picture of Lincoln and the truly stunning vest are, I believe, subtle clues only the best of us would have caught.
hi, yes, in Uk too similar things happen. We recently had a very similar case. A council in Devon wanted to open the meeting in prayer and if I remember correctly a humanist on the Council objected and so lo and behold, suddenly Council prayers were banned.

Mr. Romney fulfills mission
At Monday evening's presidential debate, Republican nominee Mitt Romney did not aggressively challenge President Obama's handling of events in Libya. As has been pointed out, Mr. Obama apparently skipped his daily intelligence briefings in the week leading up to the Sept. 11 attack by pro-al-Qaida militants on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others.
The president's incompetence is troubling and should have been a point of focus for Mr. Romney. Nonetheless, many pundits argued that in the foreign-policy-centric debate, Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, simply needed to come across as a plausible world leader, and not as the warmonger Mr. Obama has portrayed him to be.

I have a Blackstar HT5 tube amp and I like to use a Boss DS1 with the clean channel for the heavy stuff (Zeppelin to Nirvana, these are very different I know). Is this considered a good idea, or should I focus on getting my overdrive channel sounding right and use a Tube Screamer to enhance and boost the tone? This is my first tube amp so this is all new to me.
It really depends what you want tone wise, I have a Blackstar HT studio in my home recording rig with a SD-1 in front, it sounds great, though I do tend to pile that onto the amps gain to get the tone I want.
A tube screamer(Bad Monkey or TS-9), would be equally good if slightly different (slightly smoother with an EQ on the Bad Monkey also).
There are a bunch of other overdrives you could try and I think you really need to try a few out and then decide. I've been meaning to get a hold of the Blackstar Valve Drive pedal, purely because its just the best overdrive tone I have heard in all scenarios. So you may want to try that one out.
As for Lead/Metal tones SD-1,TS-9,Valve Drive, will all do the job for you, and though the SD-1 is a little choppy (i still like it), they are very cheap.
The Idea is that you want to use the amps gain as much as possible to get the natural valve distortion, then just boost the tone a little with an overdrive/screamer of some sort.
All of these pedals produce a lot of noise (Valve drive less than the others), so to get the most out of them, you probably need to invest in a Noise Gate, i use an NS-2 on the floor.
In order to properly answer this question we need to identify that in the world of guitar effects there are three distinct ways to produce distortion (or clipping): overdrive, boost, and fuzz. Each has it's own unique characteristics. In addition, let's consider the three different ways to run a pedal + amplifier overdrive configuration: clean amp + pedal overdrive, overdriven amp + pedal overdrive, or finally just an overdriven amp. So given these relationships, let's talk about each and hopefully the answer to your question will shake out at the end. In essence, we are building what's called a tone stack.
First, let's quickly discuss the different types of overdrives. I'll tie these in later, so refer back here if you need to.
Fuzz: A fuzz circuit uses an electrical component called a transistor to produce clipping. The ubiquitous example of this is the legendary Dunlop fuzz face popularized by legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, and David Gilmour. Although there are thousands of fuzz pedals on the market, the Fuzz face is the golden standard. Fuzz pedals tend to have their own personality especially if they are constructed with germanium transistors. They have a very wide range of tones, and blending them with an amplifier is a special case that I'll cover at the end.
Overdrive: Overdrive is a circuit designed to reproduce the distorted sound of a tube amplifier circuit. It does so via clipping which comes in two flavors: symmetrical and asymmetrical. Symmetrical clipping emphasizes odd order harmonics and consequently sounds harsh, while asymmetrical clipping mimics a push-pull amplifier and produces more even ordered harmonics. As a result, asymmetrical clipping will sound smoother, almost as if it were compressed. I go a little more in depth regarding clipping on this question.
Boost: Boost isn't actually distortion, but you use it to get more--note that the following information only applies if you have a tube amplifier or a boost placed directly in front of a JFET based overdrive pedal. Boost pedals come in many flavors, and you can actually use any pedal on your board that has a volume control that exceeds unity gain to achieve the same effect as a dedicated boost. Excluding uniquely built or small wattage push/pull designs a tube amplifier has two stages that we care about for our discussion: a preamplifier stage and a power amp stage. Each of these stages, when overdriven, is capable of producing distortion (via asymmetrical clipping). This is how a tube amp works. As you turn up the gain, it feeds more signal to the pre-amp and power amp stages causing the circuit to overdrive under load and produce distortion. So, couple this with the fact that a boost pedal is designed to take your guitar's signal and amplify it (ideally transparently) before it's fed into the preamp stage and what do you get? More distortion, and more volume. The volume 'goose' can be a problem for some sound engineers, but since boosts are typically utilized for solo applications the volume boost can actually be helpful in getting the solo to cut through the mix. That's another discussion though ;). You can also use boosts to feed more signal into an overdrive pedal--thus producing more clipping there as well.
Now. Armed with this information, let's talk about how to properly blend an amplifiers distortion with a pedal. Not all amplifiers like certain pedals. Darker amplifiers won't take to germainum based fuzz pedals unless a squishy muddy sound is your thing. Alternatively, brighter harsher amplifiers tend to dislike pedals with symmetrical clipping because it amplifies the harshness two fold. Typically there are three different ways to use pedals with an amplifier and each one has it's own set of problems. Let's discuss them.
Just Amplifier Distortion: Probably the simplest route to go is to not use any overdrive pedals at all. In this configuration you simply use the overdrive on your amplifier and augment it with modulation, compression, delay, and over effects. You could use a boost in this pattern to cut through for solos or overdrive your preamp stage past what the dimed gain control would do--which is very useful for getting more oomph out of an amplifier with less gain capabilities. Fender and similar amps come to mind here because they typically use preamp tubes with lower gain ratings such as the 12AU7. A boost could net you a little extra saturation of the preamp or power amp stage in this scenario. A potential drawback of this configuration is that it's locked in to the tone of your amp. Only do this if you are in love with your amplifiers stock tone, or play exceedingly high gain amplifier where an additional overdrive pedal will only add muddiness to the chaos. This pattern is the typical route for metal heads because it's simple, sounds good, and just works.
Clean amplifier pedal distortion: This configuration is where you turn the gain as low as possible on your amplifier and use pedals to get an overdriven sound. The benefit here is that if you have a single channel amplifier you can fake having a clean channel by simply turning off the pedal. Drawbacks of this are that you are stuck with the sound of the pedal you choose--and pedals never sound as warm and saturated as a real tube circuit. Tone models and JFETs can only do so much in the state that they are today. I usually don't recommend going this route unless you want to fake two channels, if for no other reason than you are defeating the fact that you have a tube amplifier. Buy solid state if you want to do this--they get much cleaner and are far better suited for this purpose.
Amplifier distortion and pedal distortion: The combinations are absolutely limitless here, but it takes lots of experimenting to get a tone that works. As we discussed earlier, tube amplifiers clip asymmetrically and emphasize even order harmonics. Pedals can clip either way--so the only way to figure out if something sounds good is to try it. Some general guidelines to follow though, are as follows. Note that YMMV depending on the type of music you play.
As you're going through this process, try to move the gain of the amplifier the least, because it serves as your base. Every time you change the base you'll likely have to completely reconfigure any pedals and boosts you have attached--so it's best to leave it as static as possible.
Finally, let's cover that special case. Fuzz pedals are awesome, but they are incredibly hard to blend with any amplifier or overdrive. Part of this comes from the magnitude and frequency ranges that a fuzz pedal tends to emphasize, and the tone of which will depend on the type and quality of transistors used to build the pedal. One of the major advantages of a fuzz, which should usually be placed very early if not first in your chain in order to sound good, is that they react to the volume control on your guitar much like a tube amp. As you turn down the volume, the fuzz pedal becomes much less saturated. You can use this trick to your advantage to make your fuzz play nice with the other overdrive producing components in your rig. By reducing the input volume to the fuzz pedal you can get a nice "edge of breakup" tone that we talked about in step 1 above without having to use your amplifier. Consequently, you can place your amplifier at a lower gain rating for a cleaner channel and also be able to blend your distortions and boosts with your fuzz. It doesn't work in every case for every amplifier, but that's par for the course. Using this strategy you could potentially get a nice saturated fuzzy tone by turning the volume on your guitar back to full with your entire tone stack (or pieces of it, whatever works best) engaged.
In closing, as with anything in the world of electric guitar gear you should always defer to the pirate codex: "They're not really rules. They're more like guidelines." What I write here might not work for you--but at a minimum you should be able to attack the problem analytically now. Make sure you write all your settings down, take a picture of them, or do something to document it. It's a shame to work for hours to get a tone where you want it only to forget where your settings were and lose it when someone dusts your amplifier + pedal board and moves the knobs on accident (personal experience). Now go experiment, and have fun with it!
Firstly, read jduv's response. It is comprehensive and provides a view of the options. Your final choices will be subject to your ear and whether you are gigging or recording. For recording, test all the above techniques and try to find other musos that will swap pedals so you have access to many different tones. For gigging, I tend to use a limited set of basic overdive sounds and one very easy way to give yourself a wide set of tone and gain options is to use a EQ (such as GE7) in front of a good valve amp pre-amp. This allows gain boost for solos/heavey disto but also allows you to shape the tone so you can scoop or add mids etc .. (It wil also teach you what you like so you can look for pedals with these characteristics). If you set the crunch channel on a mid to heavy setting you can clean up the sound by backing off the guitar volume. This affects gain to the pre-amp, not the power amp volume. I also use a volume pedal after the pre-amp so I can add more volume for cleanish lead or to regain lost power when my guitar volume is dropped a lot. It also allows you to add high gain (with a pedal?)to the pre-amp but back off the output volume. You can also get very smooth violin affects with the volume pedal here. There is no reason that you can't have a distortion pedal in this set up, but unless it gives you a specific sound, you don't need it.

There's an overly enthusiastic editor going crazy and editing lots of titles, sometimes changing the meaning of posts. What's the best way to flag an edit?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Either flag one of the posts as "Requires Moderator Attention" and explain in the text box that appears when you select that option, or e-mail email@example.com
You can always flag for a moderator; if needed, flag the post/reply, and just indicate (in the text) which edit you are referring to.
For info, I'm aware of some of the edits in question, and I'm not entirely convinced that they are as destructive/context-changing as you suggest; but if you flag something, we'll look into it. You can also e-mail the team directly (page footer).
I say that every time someone has an issue with something He Who Shall Not Be Named has done, they flag for moderator attention or email email@example.com instead of posting a new question on the Meta in hopes of stirring up the hornet's nest all over again.
All this is doing is trying to get as many people with axes to grind against He Who Shall Not Be Named (whether rightly or wrongly) so that their voices can all sound louder when bounced around the echo chamber.
Edit: I would make the argument that constantly posting on the Meta every time you have an issue with He Who Shall Not Be Named is pretty childish, honestly. All you are doing is playing the victim card (and I make this out to everybody who makes this exact same type of question, not just the OP of this one) trying to draw even more attention to the situation, which is inevitably going to lead to it causing even more of an uproar.
All you are doing is trying to elicit some type of public scolding/humiliation for He Who Shall Not Be Named instead of asking an actual question, and the moderators and the team have been pretty solid in how they choose to deal with these things. BEHIND THE SCENES. Airing your dirty laundry out in public is not the appropriate way of handling these situations.

I am not comparing passive gravitational mass with rest inertial mass. Is there an evidence in Standard Model which says that active gravitational mass is essentially mass assigned by Higgs mechanism.
I will answer your deleted question, which is relevant. Read this link to get a framework of where the SM stands.
Look at table 1 and you will see that in the microcosm of quarks and leptons the gravitational interaction is so weak that it is completely irrelevant and certainly its effect on the values used of the standard model cannot be measured with our present experimental accuracies.
You ask:
The standard model is mainly descriptive, it is a method to mathematically tie together a very large number of experimental data, economically, for the three stronger forces, strong, electromagnetic and weak. Because the strength of the coupling of the gravitational interaction is very much smaller than the coupling of these three forces ( Table 1 in link) there is no measurable predictable effect. In any case, as the quark and lepton masses are parameters in the SM, not predicted values,any tiny effect will be absorbed in the definitions.
The Stndard Model is not a theory of everything, but must be embedded in a theory of everything because it is really a shorthand for all the data we have up to now on quarks and leptons. A theory of everything will of course incorporate the gravitational force, and theorists are working on it, with prime candidate the string theories.
The mass of a particle is the energy that it has when it is at rest. The Higgs only makes it that particles oscillate between different helicities, so that you can make them be at rest, and their energy at rest is equal to the rate of oscillation between the two helicities. This energy gravitates like any other energy.
The standard model itself says nothing about gravity at all, so no.
In any case, the thing that couples to gravity is energy, not just mass. This is different from the mass that the Higgs field gives to particles, which is actually just (rest) mass, and does not count energy.
