Bishop Finn assails NCR
Bishop Robert W. Finn has used the occasion of the Feast of St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists, to upbraid Kansas City-based National Catholic Reporter, which is located in his diocese. The critique he published in his diocesan newspaper says not a word about the important service to the church that NCR offered through courageous coverage over nearly three decades of the existence and cover-up of clergy sexual abuse.This comes as no surprise from Finn, who continues to remain as bishop even after his conviction in September, as NCR put it, of "criminally shielding a priest who was a threat to children." Bishop Finn is in no position to level accusations against NCR. It's not surprising that many have called for his resignation; his conviction makes it impossible for him to do his job credibly.

Indeed, Paul, I agree wholeheartedly. Bishop Finn should be in prison along with Cardinal Mahony and a number of other bishops (who did the same things in their dioceses). The fact that good Catholic practices like"fraternal correction" has died an unnatural death among the bishops, means that other groups, like NCR and the civil law---need to do it for them.
Finn has the gall. The guy is a *convicted criminal*, fer cryin' out loud!Bishop Robert W. Finn, of all people, has no damn business leveling accusations against others.I'd sure like to see the KC-St Joe clerics call publicly for this hierarch's removal from office.Honest to Pete, ya' can't make up this crap.Rome and its lackey bishops dish out this stuff by the shovel full!!!
I would think Matthew 18 would apply and not only big rocks, deep water, and the body parts that Jesus mentioned. I hope I do not sound facetious given the attitude of Jesus toward children.
Shows that we are still a church of dogma rather than a Church of The Way. When a priest is condemned and ousted for fostering women's ordination while a bishop (Opus Dei) remains who has allowed the further abuse of children.
In Todays reading Jesus said he has come " to bring glad tidings to the poor, liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, let oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord' Do bishops hear what they read?On Thursday I attended a ground breaking for a 9 story building housing a 'feed the poor' kitchen and will be full of many small apts for the poor and homeless in San Francisco's Tenderloin. All this done by Franciscans and Sisters of Mercy. Leader Pelosi flew in from DC and she and the SF Mayor Lee spoke at the dedication. All Board of Supervisors, Chief of Police and Fire Chief attended. Father president of USF, some principal l donors and about a 1000 people were on the closed Golden Gate street. A recovering homeless man gave a stunning speech which was commented on by all the 'professional' speakers. The Archdiocesan Chancery was a short walk, all down hill, but there was no Archbishop or neither of two auxiliary bishops or even a lay or clerical factotum from the Chancery present. A national episcopal Church meltdown is occurring in front of us.
Frank Bruni in the Sunday NYT has some comments on this sort of thing.http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/opinion/sunday/bruni-catholicisms-curs...

Mahonys LegacyBy Vinnie NauheimerLets hear it for Cardinal Mahony!Never was one so full of baloney;....(more) http://mnsnap.wordpress.com/vinnie/
"Do bishops hear what they read?"No, they don't, Ed. The Gospel is read for them by whoever is performing the deacon's function while they keep an eye on the master of ceremonies to make sure their mitre arrives in time to be donned for their pontificating. The rubrics distract them from the message. Lately the message is whatever they say it is anyway.When Bishop Helmsing "formally condemned" the NCR for respectfully disagreeing with Humanae Vitae (as subsequently the Canadian, Belgian, Dutch and several other bishops' conferences did), he called first to apologize, and Msgr. (much later Cardinal) William Baum assured the editors that they could receive Communion anytime despite the action. I doubt Bishop Finn was as thoughtful, but quoting canon law in extenso pretty much exhausts a guy's thought capacities.
" officially condemning Church teaching on the ordination of women, insistent undermining of Church teaching on artificial contraception and sexual morality in general, lionizing dissident theologies while rejecting established Magisterial teaching, and a litany of other issues."Perhaps Bishop Finn isn't in a strong position to thrown stone, but ... seems pretty accurate. If anything, he's to be commended for his understatement. Perhaps they can assail one another.
I was a little surprised to see that the website of the Kansas City diocesan paper allows dissenting comments, some of them fairly harsh.In general, when a church or any institution seeks to ban discussion of its policies, it seems like an admission that it can't defend them. It is at the very least a missed opportunity to demonstrate how robust and true its teaching is, and for the Catholic Church, with its claim of divine guidance, a chance forgone to honor the Holy Spirit, unless That Person's efforts extend only to ascertaining and proclaiming the Truth, but not to upholding it against dissent.

To be castigated by the likes of Finn is a sign that you are doing something right! Way to go, NCR ... keep it up.A small quibble with this statment from LittleBear: "The fact that good Catholic practices likefraternal correction has died an unnatural death among the bishops, means that other groups, like NCR and the civil lawneed to do it for them."Whether there is "fraternal correction" from bishops or not, the laity have a RIGHT and OBLIGATION to speak up and call it as they see it. Expecting someone else to do it for you is simply failing to do the right thing.
Bishop Finn has quite a few defenders. Fr. Z has posted a typically nasty to NCR rant.This is the Fr. Z of the 7-day Year of Faith Retreat at Sea on a five star Ruby Princess Cruise ship during lent this year. (See flier: http://www.churchmilitant.tv/retreatatsea. I may be wrong but I think that the original flier listed a Welcome Cocktail Party and has been changed to a Welcome Reception.)Sorry, folks, but the mini suite with balcony costing $1947,98 per person is now waitlisted. It includes a welcome glass of champagne, two twin beds that can be made into a queen, a separate lounging area with a sofa bed, two TVs, a refrigerator, a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with tub and message showerhead.Fr. Z periodically has rants against NCR which he refers to as fishwrap. My take is that he is scared to death that someone on the NCR staff will expose him for what he is, a priest who is not accountable to anyone but himself. Bishop Finn would be wise not to send a thank you note to Fr. Z for his support.
The NY Times today has a stunning article on the victims of child porn. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/magazine/how-much-can-restitution-help... judge should have given this article as an assignment to Finn as a start for reparation.
The "National CATHOLIC Reporter" commits FRAUD by using the name "Catholic". It does not adhere to the teachings of the Church as required in the "CATECHISM of the CATHOLIC CHURCH, Second Edition" - as all Catholics are required to do.While Americans cherish freedom of the press, Americans do not cherish fraud.The Reporter merely needs to change its name to: "National NON-Catholic Reporter" to stop their dishonesty and fraud.The truth of what the Church teaches is contained in the CCC: " The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved ... and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic Authority, is a statement of the Church's faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith and thus a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion. Pope John Paul II." (CCC pg 5) Those who support the Reporter's use of the name "Catholic" - support fraud.This article is not about the sins of others - it is about the Reporter and its lies.For more info on the CCC go to: "What Catholics REALLY Believe SOURCE" at http://whatcatholicsreallybelieve.com .
Oh. Then we don't need to discuss anything
"on his doctoral thesis (for the Angelicum?)"Augustinianum
Frist of all, Jim McCrea----you are quite right. It is up to all of us to engage in Fraternal Correction of the Bishops, if their fellow members at the USCCB are too timid to do so.Now I would like to respond to MIKE----who is accusing the NCR of fraud. The NCR is doing nothing that is not permissable in Canon Law. And I would like to cite those basic rights that all Catholics (including the NCR) have.1) All Catholics have the right to follow their informed consciences in all matters. (Canon 748.1)2) Officers of the Church have the right to teach on all matters both of private and public morality ONLY {emphasis is mine] after wide consultation with the faithful prior to the formulation. Canons 212, 747, 749, 752, 774.13) All Catholics have the right to engage in any activity that does not infringe on the rights of others; e.g. they have the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of association. Canons 212, 215, 223.4) All Catholics have the right of access to all information possessed by Church authorities concerning the former's spiritual and temporal welfare, provided such access does not infringe on the rights of others. Canons 218, 221, 223, 5375) All Catholics have the right to a voice in all decisions that affect them including the choosing of their leaders. Canon 2186) All Catholics have the right to have their leaders accountable to them. Canons 492, 12877) All Catholics have the right to form voluntary associations to pursue Catholic aims, including the right to worship together: such associaions have the right to decide on their own rules of governance. Canons 215, 299, 300, 305, 3098) All Catholics have the right to express publicly their dissent in regard to decisions made by church authorities. Canons 212, 218, 7539) All Catholics have the right while being mindful of Gospel norms to follow whatever paths will enhance their life in Christ; that is their self-realization as unique human beings created by God. They also have the right to guidance that will foster authentic human living both on a personal level and in relation to their communities and the world. Canon 21310) All Catholics regardless of race, age, nationality, sex and sexual orientation, state of life or social position have the right to receive all the sacraments for which they are adequately prepared. Canons 213, 84311) All Catholics have the right to have church office-holders foster a sense of community. Canon 369Canon Law is the law of the Church---not the CCC----and dear Bishop Finn knows it.
MIKE:+ Are you a high school senior or a college freshman?+ If the latter, Ave Maria University or Steubenville?By the way, most of Rome's teaching is non-infallible in nature. Thus, most of the CCC's content is not at all infallible.Good try, but no cigar.
Mike's screed was published without poapparent scrutiny and mine is now "awaiting moderation?"Gracious, me. Me ... moderate? Not on your tintype!
To give equal time to His Excellentness .... http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/the-archbishop-of-no
Re Fraternal Correction: http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3033.htmSumma Theologica > Second Part of the Second Part > Question 33 Article 4. Whether a man is bound to correct his prelate?Snip:"I answer that, A subject is not competent to administer to his prelate the correction which is an act of justice through the coercive nature of punishment: but the fraternal correction which is an act of charity is within the competency of everyone in respect of any person towards whom he is bound by charity, provided there be something in that person which requires correction."
Thanks a bunch, Little Bear. Are those laws from the Canon Law revisions after Vatican II?I notice that many of the crucial ones -- like the right to dissent -- are numbered in the low numbers, e.g., 212. Does that indicate that they have a long history in the Church or are they new developments? (I wouldn't put it past the bishops not to tell the faithful what our rights in the Church are.)Any Canon Lawyers on this list?
Ann: For the first time in history, the revised Code of Canon Law has a section giving "The obligations and rights of all Christians" (cc. 208-223," which is followed by another on "The obligations and rights of lay Christians" (cc. 224-231). The numbers have nothing to do with the history of canonical legislation; it's a matter of how the Code is organized. It is significant that, as in the Council's Constitution on the Church, the sections on differentiated groups within the Church are preceded by sections on what all Christians have in common by way of rights and obligations.
JAK ==Thanks for the info.
Ann, sorry this is getting to you late. Yes, one Canon Lawyer who has worked on this list is James A. Coriden. There is a list similar to this in his book "Canon Law As Ministry: Freedom and Good Order for the Church". It was published by Paulist Press in 2000.
Thanks, Little Bear. Amazon had a few left:-)
Bishop Finn should probably be removed from office. But why does he bother some here, so much more than Cardinal Mahony ever seemed to?
"But why does [Finn] bother some here, so much more than Cardinal Mahony ever seemed to?"I can't speak for others, but if you look at the comments at http://ncronline.org//news/accountability/la-cardinal-mahony-barred-publ..., it would appear that this newspaper's more liberal readership is blasting the good cardinal's behavior.

In order to secure a PHP installation, what are the best settings for a php.ini file? What is absolutely vital in terms of security? What is recommended for most use cases?
I find a good step for hardening your php.ini file is to use the PHPSecInfo tool, this tool will outline what settings you have currently in your php.ini that may cause a security risk. In addition to using that tool give this article on Hardening PHP from php.ini a look its good and picks up most of the major concerns.
Personally the two main things I always make sure are configured correctly are:
Another php.ini hardening could be resources limiting, as described in configuration file itself "Resource Limits". Generally, it depends on your web-application which limits should be set up. As I know, for example, for Wordpress installation 32M memory

Got in around supper time to D.C. and was imediatley whisked away to a reception for fellow historians of the Early American Republic. I was starving, but they had free beer (woo hoo!) and a veggie platter. It could be worse. A friend and I stopped by an Indian place on Connecticut Avenue near our hotel (Taste of India) on the way back and I had the Thali Vegetarian Platter. It was pretty good (though probably not completely vegan), but the naan bread was a real disapointment. Tomorrow I aim to hit some of the places Vegan Dad readers have recommended. And, I will bring my camera.

A Flailer is one of those mysterious friends that one day just disappearers off your Facebook friend list without any reason. If you have a large friend list, you may never figure out who it was and why they deleted, blocked or whatevered you. Not only is it rude ,but may cause negative feelings and nobody wants that.
You keep adding new friends but the number stated on your home page always stays the same... or goes down! You keep seeing your "good friend from high school" name in your suggested friend box, but you know you have added them already...three times! They are "Flailing" cause they are: Flailers"!

One of the things we love most about the Ohio Valley is how passionate people are about high school sports.
But, one of the things we dislike the most about the Ohio Valley is how passionate people are about high school sports results.
We realize that winning is important. If it wasn't, they shouldn't keep score.
High school sports, though, are much, much more than winning and losing. Unfortunately, I think some people have lost sight of that fact.
No group of people has lost sight of it more than the Union Local Board of Education.
The Union Local Board of Education made a decision that it wasn't going to renew the football coaching contract of Mark Cisar at its last meeting.
Somewhat unwillingly, Cisar submitted his resignation to school officials rather than fighting the board and making it vote him out. Cisar didn't have the support of the board, meaning a change was coming, so rather than keeping the program in limbo, he's stepping aside, so the school can begin the process of finding his replacement.
We've come to believe that the Union Local school board thinks its the owner of the Union Local football program.
In professional sports, the owner of the franchise doesn't have to listen to anyone and often times makes the decision to fire coaches based on winning and losing.
That's basically what the Union Local BOE has done.
After word of Cisar's stepping down hit the public, many of UL's players messaged me on Twitter, expressing their unwavering support of their now former head coach.
Obviously, the Union Local BOE hasn't listened to the people who elected it to those positions. Actually, it might have because the players, who spend countless hours with Cisar during the course of the season, aren't eligible to vote yet.
One player messaged me and said, "making (Coach) Cisar resign was honestly the worst mistake our board has ever made."
Maybe if the board took some time and looked into the situation a little deeper than seeing the on-field struggles in terms of wins and losses, it would have gotten the same responses that I did via Twitter.
Playing in Division IV against a schedule that featured four playoff teams with a team made up basically of underclassmen is tough sledding regardless of who's coaching the team.
As Bubba Kapral wrote in his Sunday piece, Urban Meyer would have had trouble posting more victories than what Cisar did. Well, maybe the board will approach Mike Tomlin or Nick Saban about the job then.
Heck, even the players realize that as evidenced by this comment, "what people need to learn is the difference between a bad coach and an inexperienced team. We were young. Can't pin that on him."
It's unfortunate that even the players - who pour blood, sweat and tears into the team and want to win in the worst way - notice that, but adults, who sit in the crowd on Fridays and coach from the stands can't see it. Actually, maybe they don't want to see it.
The impact coaches have on kids is unmatched. During the season, the coaching staffs spend almost as much time with their players as their own families.
Cisar has impacted many of his players' lives personally throughout his seven-year career at UL. But, again, the board doesn't see that part of it either, evidently.
Another player told me, "he definitely was a father figure in our lives."
Basically, the Union Local school board has indicated that none of that matters. It's all about wins and losses.
For that thought process, the Union Local school board is really the biggest loser in this scenario.
The thing about Cisar is he's the consumate professional. He'll continue to be the athletic director and continue to do the best job possible.
He told me Friday morning he won't be involved in the interview process with the candidates to replace him, which makes perfect sense. Obviously, that would be an uncomfortable situation for both sides.
However, once the hiring process is complete, Cisar is technically the new coach's boss. But, again, you can expect Cisar to be supportive and professional.
And, we'd expecting nothing less because, unlike the UL Board of Education, Cisar gets it.
Record-settng Bellaire High quarterback Spencer Badia enjoyed a regular season that most quarterbacks only dream about.
Badia guided the high-flying Big Reds' offense to a victory against Martins Ferry in the season finale and a berth in the Division V playoffs.
In the process, he passed for more than 3,000 yards.
However, during the first half of the playoff game at Cuyahoga Heights, Badia injured his knee.
The gutsy and team-oriented player that Badia is, he came back in the game and finished the contest.
He's since undergone a MRI and received word that he tore his anterior cruciate ligament and will need surgery.
According to Badia, doctors have told him he'll undergo the operation in a few weeks when he regains some of his strength.
Once repaired, the rehab and recovery process takes upwards of six months.
That means Badia's status for baseball season is in serious limbo, but he should be healthy when football practices commence next summer.
Knowing the kind of kid and athlete is, Badia will work his tail off during the rehab process to make sure he's back in time for football, but he's holding out hopes for at least maybe late baseball season toward the sectional tournament.
While we admire his dedication, we hope that Badia is 100 percent before returning to the athletic field and he doesn't rush the process.
His long-term health is the most important thing to consider.
COLUMBUS BISHOP HARTLEY has reached the Division IV state semifinals like most everyone in the state expected. Senior tight end Jacob Matuska had another big game for the 13-0 Hawks.
Matuska, whose parents are St. John Central graduates, had a huge game on defense from his linebacker spot.
Offensively, he was consistently ran behind as Hartley took care of Ottawa Glandorf.
CINCINNATI MOELLER advanced to the Division I state semifinals thanks to another strong performance by quarterback Spencer Iacovone.
Iacovone, who is headed to Marshall to play baseball, led the Crusaders past Cincinnati Colerain at Nippert Stadium Saturday night.
PICKERINGTON NORTH is in the Division I state semifinals after dispatching Hilliard Davidson Saturday night at Ohio Wesleyan. North, which is led by Northwestern commit Godwin Igwebuike and Michigan commit Jake Butt, features an Ohio Valley product on the coaching staff.
Ferry High graduate Mike Edwards is the line coach for the Panthers.

Wolf steps down after nine seasons as Nicolet girls basketball coach
Corey Wolf has resigned as Nicolet girls basketball coach.
"It's all about my family," said the mother of three, ages 7, 5 and 1. "I just want to spend more time with them. With their schooling and their activities, I just want to be able to see them a little more."
Wolf made the resignation official yesterday. She spent nine very successful years with the Knights, winning six North Shore Conference titles including the last four in a row, with a WIAA State D1 championship in 2011 thrown in for good measure.
Wolf initially made her name in basketball as a Nicolet's hard-charging point guard back in the mid-1990s when she was known as Corey Bronson. She graduated in 1995 and played basketball and earned her masters' degree from Marquette University in physical therapy in 2001.
She currently works for Aurora Advanced Healthcare.» Read Full Article

Shaun Wild to be remembered at UWM game on Saturday
Brown Deer graduate Kevin Wild will pitch for Valparaiso University and UW-Milwaukee has graciously offered their support for him and his family as they celebrate the life of his recently slain brother, Shaun, on Saturday when Valpo plays UW-Milwaukee in a 1 p.m. game at Henry Aaron Field in Lincoln Park.
Kevin Wild had a nine-inning shutout against UWM a few weeks back and has just picked up his third pitcher of the week honor from the Horizon League
"We will continue to celebrate our love and friendship, and extend the circle of our family and community," said a notice from the family.
Shaun Wild was stabbed to death earlier this winter as part of a bar fight he was trying to break up in the Naperville, Ill., where he taught elementary school. The assailant has been charged with first degree murder.
The day at Henry Aaron will include food, kids' games, Shaun's favorite music, lawn games, donation setups for the Shaun Wild Fund, raffles, T-shirt sales and a number of other activities to commemorate Shaun's life. The family will throw out the first pitch.
Homestead orchestra students take international tour
From Smolny Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia, to the Temppeliaukion Kirkko or "Rock Church" in Helsinki, Finland, orchestra students from Homestead High School in the Mequon-Thiensville School District stroked their strings on the stages of some of the world's most renowned concert halls earlier this month.
The group of 80 students spent April 8-16 in St. Petersburg and Helsinki performing music by Russian, Finnish and American composers for Russian and Finnish audiences, according to a news release from the Mequon-Thiensville Orchestra Parents organization.
Homestead High School Orchestra Director John Emanuelson led the tour with the district's elementary orchestra director, Megan Aswegan. The group travelled with guest artist Oswald Lehnert, a retired University of Colorado-Boulder professor who taught violin for more than 40 years and was invited to play at the Tchaikovsky Competition in 1962 in the Soviet Union.
At Smolny Cathedral, Homestead students collaborated in a concert with students from the Mravinsky School of Music, a pre-conservatory high school fine arts academy in St. Petersburg, according to the news release.
At the student musicians' performance in the "Rock Church," the sounds of "Finlandia" by Finnish composer Sibelius reverberated off the famous granite walls of the venue.» Read Full Article

Brown Deer School Board approves health insurance plan for 2012-2013 school year
The Brown Deer School Board approved a health insurance plan tonight that slightly modifies benefits but represents a savings of more than $84,000 over the current plan, which was set to increase by 3 percent.
The district buys its health insurance through the Wisconsin Counties Association
Premium costs will decrease in most cases by a $1 depending on the type of coverage. Co pays for second and third tier prescription drug coverage will increase from $20 to $30 and $40 to $50 respectively. Urgent care co pays will increase from $10 to $25.
The current policy includes a waiver of premium for an employee who would become permanently disabled while on the job but the new policy does not include the waiver. Finance Director Emily Koczela said the waiver was last used in the district in 2004.
Employees who take health insurance will continue to pay a $249 in-network deductible for single coverage and a $500 deductible for a family. There is a $10 copay for office visits.» Read Full Article
WIAA summer baseball tournament moved to Mequon
Stevens Point - When it came time to finding a new home for the WIAA state summer baseball tournament, no venue compared to Kapco Field.
The WIAA Board of Control unanimously approved the stadium, which is on the campus of Concordia University in Mequon, as the tournament's site during its monthly meeting Tuesday at the WIAA's offices.
The move not only brings the tournament to the part of the state most summer teams call home - it had been played at Bukolt Park in Stevens Point since 1989 and was played in West Bend from 1965-'88 - but the stadium's FieldTurf surface increases the chance the WIAA can play the tournament in one day, a change approved by the board in the fall.
The state tournament is scheduled for July 20.
"We really like this one because it's turf and if it rains we can still play," WIAA deputy director Wade Labecki said.» Read Full Article

Hines quits as Homestead head coach
After two years on the job, Marquis Hines resigned Wednesday night as the boys basketball coach at Homestead High School.

Proposed JCC operational changes advance in Whitefish Bay
Proposed changes at the Milwaukee Jewish Federation's Karl Jewish Community Campus have advanced, following a review and favorable recommendation by the Plan Commission on Tuesday.
Commissioners discussed JCC's plans for the site, 6255 N. Santa Monica Blvd., as a standard practice outlined in Village Code.

Shorewood board commissions study of proposed Atwater play equipment
Following a two-hour discussion Monday, the Shorewood Village Board voted to conduct a study, not to exceed $5,000, of the impact of the playground equipment being proposed at Atwater Park.
Several board members have expressed questions about the overall effort, particularly a slide that has been proposed near the bluffs at the lower level of the park. The study will examine the environmental impact, address safety concerns and is designed to determine whether the slide and other playground equipment will impact the structural stability of the bluffs.
Other features of the proposed playground include a patented double arch swing that puts a new spin on traditional swing sets, a rotating net structure that offers children a safe environment to climb and a device known as the spinner round.
Members of the Friends of Atwater Beach, a grass-roots organization in the community, have been working with the village to install updated playground equipment in the lower level of the park. The organization has pledged to donate the equipment, set it up and provide landscaping.
The entire project, as proposed, carries an estimated price tag of nearly $90,000.
Whitefish Bay Village Board wants more information on storm water system costs
Whitefish Bay trustees want more information on the costs of upgrading the specific areas hardest hit by flooding in 2010 before making any decisions on how to proceed. Steve Stricklen of Donohue and Associates tonight gave the Village Board both the good and bad news.
The good news? There is sufficient room underground for engineers to design a system that would handle the storm water from a 500 year rain, and avoid other utilities. The bad news was the cost.
Basic costs for the system designed for the 500 year event were $134 million. They dropped to $110 million for the 100 year flood and to $108 million for the 10 year flood.
Most communities do not build a storm sewer system for a 500 year rain, with most designed for a 10 year flood.
The cost doesn't include other programs aimed at keeping storm water out of basements such as the detention pond that will likely be built at Cahill Park and the costs of the private property inflow and infiltration program. Private sanitary laterals would be lined with pipes to prevent ground water from getting into the sewer pipes.» Read Full Article
Sachdeva merchandise to be sold in Mequon
Sujata Sachdeva's crimes continue to provide buying opportunities for bargain hunters looking for high-end goods.
This weekend, merchandise that was bought with some of the $34 million embezzled by the former Koss Corp. executive and later hidden by one of her friends will be sold. The sale will take place at 1501-1511 W. Market, Mequon, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
The goods were seized from Adam Burback, who was sentenced this month to six months in prison after pleading guilty to concealing property that was subject to forfeiture. The FBI raided Burback's West Allis home last year, seizing goods valued at more than $100,000.
Sachdeva is serving an 11-year prison sentence. She stole from Koss to finance a luxurious lifestyle that included repeated high-end shopping trips.

Fox Point board votes to replace footbridge
After discussing the issue for two hours, the Fox Point Village Board on Tuesday voted to move forward in the long-running debate surrounding the footbridge connecting Bridge and Barnett lanes. The existing footbridge will be removed and will likely be replaced with a similar structure.
Civil engineering firm Ayers Associates will provide design services for the project, which did not have a firm timeline amid Tuesday's discussion.
The board also went on record, stating that a portion of the cost of replacing the footbridge should be covered through fundraising. There had been discussion of seeking $625,000 in donations, though the amount could be a moving target as the endeavor gets under way.
Throughout the footbridge debate, cost estimates associated with removing the existing structure and constructing a new one have hovered around $1.5 million to $1.9 million. Specific figures will bubble to the surface as Ayers conducts its design work.
In recent months, several residents have suggested the footbridge issue be placed on an upcoming ballot by way of a referendum question, but that proposal was scrapped as part of the board's decision.
Mequon adopts personnel code
Under the watchful eyes of about 50 employees, the Mequon City Council tonight approved changes to its personnel code that establish employment practices and guidelines for city jobs. Some of the changes were the result of Acts 10 and 32 that limited collective bargaining to wages only for union members; others were part of an effort to provide employees with a competitive wage and benefit package in a time of tights budgets.
Several employees addressed the council asking that holiday, sick time and vacations remain the same as part of the revisions.
After hearing the employees reasoning, the council agreed to cut sick days from the previous 12 to 8, rather than the three suggested. Employees will also be able to accrue up to 180 days of sick time, donate sick days to other employees, and use accrued sick time for the cost of up to 18 months of health insurance.
Going forward, employees will have only 9.5 instead of the current 12 holidays and the top tier of vacation allotment will be eliminated. In the past workers with more than 25 years of service had 30 work days off but that will change to 25 days.
The council asked city staff to present a plan for paid time off, a hybrid plan that provides employees with a set number of paid days off that may be used as personal, sick or vacation time.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay police arrest couple seen injecting drugs on Henry Clay Street
A man and woman, both 24 of Oak Creek, were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia after a witness reported them injecting themselves in a car in the 900 block of East Henry Clay Street at 10:20 p.m. last week.
According to the Whitefish Bay police report:
The woman was arrested April 4 for possession of a syringe and the man for possession of needles, rubber bands and other paraphernalia.

TCBY to join Taco Bell, Jimmy John's in Mequon
Developer Andrew Petzold made his case to the Mequon Plan Commission for a third restaurant at a strip mall now under construction on North Port Washington Road., persuading commissioners to allow a TCBY store in addition to the previously approved Taco Bell and Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches.
The addition of the TCBY, which sells frozen yogurt, sundaes, smoothies, beverages and other frozen treats, could cause a parking crunch at the site.
There are 75 parking spaces and using the city's estimates for parking, the three eateries need 78 spaces. Community Development staff recommended the commission deny the conditional use permit Petzold needed for the restaurant, but the commission decided to ignore the recommendation.
There are four vacant, yet-to-be-leased spaces remaining in the 12,000 square foot building. Assistant Community Development Director Jac Zader said that permitted uses for the remaining spaces include professional offices, retail space or salons. Restaurants are conditional permitted uses and require Plan Commission approval. Permitted uses do not require a Plan Commission review and approval.
Petzold argued that more than 50 percent of customers pick up their food rather than eat at restaurants and because of that, less parking is needed.» Read Full Article
School Board disallows claim over alleged Homestead assault
The Mequon-Thiensville Board of Education has voted to disallow a claim filed with the district that alleged school officials were negligent in securing Homestead High School after hours on Nov. 3, the day an alleged sexual incident occurred between students at the school.
The board's vote on Thursday means that any potential lawsuit for claims relating to the incident would have to be filed in the Wisconsin court system within six months, said a statement from the district's law firm, Crivello-Carlson S.C.
Brent Anderson and DeAngelo Dantzler, both 18-year-old Mequon residents and Homestead seniors, were charged Dec. 2 with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in an open practice room at the school on Nov. 3.
The 14-year-old girl said she also had sexual activity with a third student, a 15-year-old boy, during the incident, according to the criminal complaint.
Days after the charges were issued, Homestead's principal sent a letter to parents announcing stricter rules for after-hours activity, including locking out of the building starting at 3:30 p.m. any students not involved in an after-school meeting or other gathering.» Read Full Article
Bayside refinances bonds for NSFD Station 5
The seven member communities that make up the North Shore Fire Department will benefit from a $1,605,000 refunding of the 2003 bonds used to finance the construction of Station 5 in Bayside. Bayside borrowed $2,530,000 in August 2003 to build the station.
The Bayside Village Bond tonight acted on the sale of the bonds. Bankers Bank of Madison was the low bidder with a true interest rate of 1.7607.
James Mann of Ehlers said the size of the refund was downsized by $30,000 after the bids were opened because of savings in various underwriting and rating fees.
The refinancing will save $117,000 over the term of the bonds, which will be paid off in 2023. Each of the seven communities pays a share of the debt and will share in the savings.
Moody's Investor Services rated the bonds as AA2, citing Bayside's ample financial reserves and affluent tax base. It also noted the village has seen only "modest assessed valuation declines in 2009 and 2010."

Murphy of Bay, Holtz of HHS and Nicolet vaulters top NSC girls indoor
They're going to be teammates next year for the University of Wisconsin, but for the time being, the North Shore's best distance runners, Emma-Lisa Murphy of Whitefish Bay and Lauren Holtz of Homestead are still competitors.
That was no more clear than when Murphy fought back from a late Holtz surge and nipped her friend by just .04 of a second in a scorching 1,600-meter run in the North Shore Conference Indoor track meet at Cedarburg Tuesday night.
"It was a great race," said Murphy, "and I was so glad to get it in. Last year, I missed the indoor season because of my shins, but I was glad I got a few races in in the indoor this year. I feel 100 percent healthy this spring. I'm feeling good and looking forward to the outdoor season."
Murphy, who at first appeared to be outleaned by the shorter Holtz, got her long leg across the finish line first as both turned in state honor roll times with Murphy winning in 5:16.09 and Holtz taking second in 5:16.13.
"I honestly didn't feel her (presence) until we were done," said Holtz, who had charged into the lead with about a lap to go. "Here I'm thinking I'm going to win it but I have to remember to keep running hard until we're done."» Read Full Article

Shorewood village board OKs security fencing at Atwater Park
The Shorewood village board last night agreed to a conceptual plan that calls for putting security fencing at the top of the bluff area at Atwater Park.
The proposal is in response to security and vandalism concerns that have been raised in recent years during periods of time when the park is closed.
The specific design and placement of the fencing is still under consideration. It will likely be installed in June.
Public works or police staff will likely lock a gate each night and open it each morning.
Village Manager Chris Swartz said another option - a timer that would lock and unlock a gate to the park - is also under consideration.

I am reading Goldstein's Classical Mechanics and I've noticed there is copious use of the $\sum$ notation. He even writes the chain rule as a sum! I am having a real hard time following his arguments where this notation is used, often with differentiation and multiple indices thrown in for good measure. How do I get some working insight into how sums behave without actually saying "Now imagine n=2. What does the sum become in this case?" Is there an easier way to do this? Is there an "algebra" or "calculus" of sums, like a set of rules for manipulating them? I've seen some documents on the web but none of them seem to come close to Goldstein's usage in terms of sophistication. Where can I get my hands on practice material for this notation?
How do I get insight into equations with the $\sum$ notation without actually expanding it for a specific n every time?
migrated from physics.stackexchange.com Jul 27 '12 at 4:33
This question came from our site for active researchers, academics and students of physics.
I remember that I completely lost my uneasines with sums after reading first several chapters of this book. Apart from being very educative, having lots of various excercises, and $\sum$ letter on its cover -- it is also very fun to read.
Just look at the formulas in the various derivations, abstract from them the operations that apparently have been going on to reaching the rhs from the lhs, keep a list of these rules, and take the recurring ones as permissions to do this sort of rearrangement or substitution.
If a text isn't too short of intermediate steps and doesn't have too many misprints, this reveals the hidden secrets in most calculations, not only sums.
Donald Knuth's book "The Art of Computer Programming" Volume 1 contains probably all the tricks of manipulating sums, you will ever need. If you just want to learn the material in Goldstein and find it hard, you should consider an alternative book with the same material.

Many Kentucky residents are staying inside for the third day in a row. Parks, like Basil Griffin in Bowling Green, are flooded. More than three inches of rain hit the area these past few days, and with the continuing rainfall, area rivers and lakes are overflowing.
The Warren and Logan County Sheriff's Departments both reported several impassable county and state roads. But the scene is worse in Tennessee with more than 7 inches hitting the area. The Elk, Buffalo, and Harpeth Rivers all reached flood stages Saturday night.
In Knoxville, one apartment complex residents had to be rescued from a mudslide after part of the building broke in half and sunk into the ground. In Indiana, freezing rain and snow is causing many to stay off the roads. Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Washington D.C. have all declared states of emergency due to heavy snowfall.
Washington is struggling through it harshest snowstorm in seven years with businesses and tourist attractions closing. At least five deaths are being blamed on the massive winter storm. Forecasters expect the snow and rain to continue making for hazardous traveling conditions everywhere in the country.

Using custom classes
I have a toolbar with a text field and two buttons that I've made into a class in Designer. I'd like to use this class throughout my project. How does one reuse a class?
31 Jan 2012 1:49 PM #2
If the toolbar is already a top level class you just need to drag that toolbar into the component you want to use it in.
You will then be prompted with a link, copy and move dialog. You will want to choose link.
If your toolbar is not yet a top level class, you can right click on it and choose promote to class. You can then link that toolbar to as many other places you would like.Aaron Conran
1 Feb 2012 4:44 AM #3
Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I was trying to do, I created a toolbar in a grid, promoted it to a class and dragged the promoted class into another grid. However, when I looked in the generated code, I noticed the toolbar was added as an item instead of a docked item, a docked toolbar was my intent. I ended up starting over, creating the toolbar in a grid, promoting the toolbar and dragging the original toolbar into my other grids. That seemed to reuse the custom toolbar class.

Animals should be better protected
June 30, 2013
To the editor: I cannot figure out why a person can go to jail if his or her dog kills a person, but will only get a small fine if the dog kills someone's pet....
You are insane to compare a animal to a human being. You must not have children or grandcchildren. No one cares what happens to animals when they hurt or maim any child. They are children of God and with that said I rest my case.

"Why do human lives count for so much more than nonhuman?"
Have you ever had children?? I have pets and a child and there is NO comparison. I love my pets, but if I had to chose between losing my pets or losing my child there is NO comparison. I would lose 1000+ pets before losing my single child.

I've had to deal with several very mean pitbulls in the last few years. From my experience, the people that own such dogs typically do so because they are ineligible to own firearms. They are a status symbol to the wannabe hardass. Worse yet is the fact that people who own such dogs often don't have the money to compensate people for what their animals destroy. So, if you get bit, you have to pay the vet to patch up your dog or cat, you just lost loads of money. The best solution is to alert the authorities, if it is an imminent threat, shoot it, then press charges against the owner.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Human lives are "worth" so much more because they are human. No matter what, other than in the mind of the owner that will always be the case. Having said that, the owner of a viscous dog should be able to be charged with murder, or attempted murder if their dog attacks and kills or severely injures a person. As for your animals, you can file a lawsuit against the owners of the pitbulls for damages. Matter of fact, I'd pursue it so bad that the owners would pack up and leave. Next thing I'd do (assuming that you have already reported this to the authorities) is shoot the pitbulls on sight if on my property. Their right to own such a dog ends when it enters my personal space, especially knowing their history.

I like
mencoder for converting video files because it shows me how much time is remaining to the end of the conversion (in opposite to
mencoder file.wmv -ofps 23.976 -ovc lavc -oac copy -o file.avi
The problem is that the resulting file is not the same quality as the input file. With
ffmpeg there is
sameq option. Is there similar option for
mencoder to achieve the same quality?
Is this only my feeling or is mencoder faster than ffmpeg when I will achieve the same quality?
thank you

I'm going to the Met tomorrow. What are some tips for photographing in a museum? I'm looking for technical aspects (I won't have control over lighting and can't use flash) as well as artistic aspects (like composition).
First thing first: check the museum photography policy. It's usually available on the museum Website. Ususally, photography is permitted in the permanent collections but not in the temp exhibits.
From the MET Website http://www.metmuseum.org/visit/tips/
Avoid Glare
Try to position yourself so that the lights aren't reflecting directly off the surface of the artwork and causing a hotspot in the image.
A longer lens will make this easier than a wide angle lens.
(This tip cribbed from Light: Science and Magic)
(Good question, by the way :)
I was at the Met last week actually. A few people suggested you bring a fast lens, and that's very true, especially since flash is not allowed (not that I have one on my camera anyway).
So far the assumption is that you want to take picture of the art. I wasn't interested in that, there is just too much, and professionals are busy doing it much better than me (see below). I wanted to take a few shots of the space itself, and if that's your thing, do bring a wide angle lens, some rooms are huge. I had a 24-105mm for versatility that day in NYC, but a 16-35mm f/2.8 would have been nice. For example (original here):
If your lens is not fast enough, consider going black&white, this can give an "interesting" look to the noise, in my opinion (see here).
Just for the anecdote, here is one of the professionals I mentioned above, busy capturing the essence of a sculpture. That's a lot of gear (original here):
Right off the bat, you're going to want to have a fast lens, the faster the better. Light is going to be a major premium and having a fast lens will make a huge difference. Since wide open lenses can be soft, you can up your odds on a good outcome by going with a prime lens which is usually sharper than a zoom.
Now, some of that depends on the camera you're using. The most recent dSLR options out of Pentax (K-5), Nikon (D7000), or Canon (60D) are really solid at high ISO, so you can get away with a slower lens. I shoot with the Pentax K-5, so I don't hesitate up to ISO 6400 and thus I have some latitude with my lenses. For older models, ISO 6400 may be too noisy for art, especially in the fine detail of a painting. Anyways, I noticed from your profile that you're shooting the D7000 and that camera is sharing the same basic sensor as the K-5, so you're in good shape.
Anyways, given a choice, this is probably where I'd bring in a "nifty fifty" and look to use a 50mm lens with an f/1.4 aperture. I haven't been to the Met, but if they're like many others, a tripod is not allowed, so a fast 50mm will give you a solid performance. By the way, you may be able to sneak in a monopod... Worth trying. ;)
In this setting I find my slow, f/4 lens with stabilization much more useful that my fast f/1.2 glass. Paintings don't move, and the extra DOF is always useful.
And do ask permission before you even enter. Getting a written ok from someone at the ticket counter can prevent a lot of hassle with museum staff later on. Also be courteous towards both staff and other visitors. They have as much right to look at the works as you do, and if you're monopolising a gallery(or even a single important work) for 20 minutes trying to get your pictures "just right", preventing others from enjoying their visit, you're going to make museum staff angry which will harm not just you but future visitors wanting to bring cameras into the museum (I've seen this happen, photographers getting abusive towards other visitors who just want to watch something or walk through a room where the photographer is composing for ages and doesn't want anyone to walk through).

Ruby on Rails meets GlassFish High Availability
By whacko on Apr 30, 2007
- The deployment descriptor, web.xml, needs a marking distributable element - <distributable/>
Enable the high availability flag during deployment. For command line, this would be of the form
${GLASSFISH_HOME}/bin/asadmin deploy --target ${CLUSTER_NAME} --availabilityenabled=true ${path-to-war-file}
Now, the part about setting up a GlassFish cluster. The references below give detailed information about the clustering architecture and setup steps but the takeaway is a lot simpler.
- Download GlassFish v2 from https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/downloadsindex.html
- java -Xmx256m -jar ${GLASSFISH-v2.jar downloaded above}
- cd glassfish; ant -f setup-cluster.xml
- {GLASSFISH_HOME}/bin/asadmin start-domain ${domain-name} // ${domain-name} typically is 'domain1'
- cd ${GLASSFISH_HOME}/samples/quickstart/clusterjsp/
- ${GLASSFISH_HOME}/bin/asant setup-one-machine-cluster
- ${GLASSFISH_HOME}/bin/asant start_cluster // stop_cluster to stop (The last 2 steps will create a cluster named 'cluster1' with two instances, instance-ONE and instance-TWO listening for HTTP requests on port 1110 and 1111 respectively. Of course, you could do the same(creating/starting/stopping) via the asadmin command options like '(create|start|stop)-(cluster|instance|node-agent)', but it's a lot easier to get started via the clusterjsp sample)

HILLSBORO (September 28, 2012)—Authorities were searching Friday for a man dressed as a woman who robbed the Wells Fargo Bank in Hillsboro.
The man, who has gold teeth and was wearing a wig and sunglasses and a bra under a brown collared shirt, entered the bank at 1400 Corsicana Highway in Hillsboro at around 1:30 p.m. Friday.
He told tellers he had a gun.
He escaped in a tan sports car with a rear spoiler or fin with an undisclosed amount of cash
The man for whom authorities are searching is black, in his early 20s, about 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6, and weighs 110 to 130 pounds
Hillsboro police and FBI agents are investigating the robbery.
It was the second bank holdup in Central Texas in two days.
On Thursday an armed man robbed the Fort Hood National Bank at 210 Constitution Drive Suite B. in Copperas Cove.
The robbery was reported just before 10:15 a.m. Thursday.
The robber, who was armed with a handgun, handed a note to the teller, a 29-year-old Copperas Cove woman who was not harmed in the holdup, and demanded money.
He escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash in a white passenger car.
The robber was black, unshaven and wearing a dark colored ball cap, a dark or burnt orange T-shirt and blue jeans.

Custom proxy with B1
I'm trying to implement my own proxy. But I have some problems now.
Everytime my create function is called, everything works well (data gets saved). But the operations are saved too! This means, that the create operation is still there and every following record to create is saved to this operation and gets recreated during the next call. After a few cycles, I have several records in the create operation of the batch.
My create function looks like this:
create: function(operation, callback, scope) { if (!this._dbInitialized) { this.initDataBase(); } var me = this; var records = operation.getRecords(), length = records.length, record, i; operation.setStarted(); for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { record = records[i]; me.setRecord(record); } operation.setCompleted(); operation.setSuccessful(); if (typeof callback == 'function') { callback.call(scope || me, operation); } },
I found the following in the Ext.data.Store:
... // These methods are now just template methods since updating the records etc is all taken care of // by the operation itself. onCreateRecords: function(records, operation, success) {}, onUpdateRecords: function(records, operation, success) {}, ...
Do I have to override these functions and remove the records by hand? Or what else do I have to do?
At the moment it is very hard to write a custom proxy for ST2. Do you think, you can write some docu for this?
Ok, I think the problem is in the sync() function, where getNewRecords() is called, which filters records by the phantom flag:
sync: function() { var me = this, operations = {}, toCreate = me.getNewRecords(), ...
Do I have to set this to false by hand? Where? Directly after I saved the record (me.setRecord()) or where is the best location for this?

Thx! That is working.
Are there any plans to make a tutorial for this? What are the requirements for building a custom proxy... What are the operations and their properties good for (records vs. resultSet...). How does a proxy/store work in detail.
Maybe this is interesting for other too?
Best regards
5 Feb 2012 11:48 PM #4
Hi aflx,
I will try to write some documentation on how to implement your own custom proxies. For now could you maybe post your custom proxy in full? I could take a look at it and see what I would change and add comments as to why.
8 Feb 2012 10:29 AM #5
Hey Tommy!
I saw, that there is already another SqliteProxy mentioned in the forum: https://github.com/tomalex0/SenchaTouch-v2-SqliteProxy
Maybe it is a good idea to help the author? It would be a great example too
8 Feb 2012 10:57 AM #6
Your proxy looks great to me. When I was writing a Proxy I found no tutorial for it and what I did was grab the source code of already written proxies and modify them according to what I want.
12 Feb 2012 11:29 PM #7
Thanks for the heads up, i'm really trying to make sqlite proxy work with ST2 beta version , i have made some changes to make read and create work, i haven't pushed those changes to github, if you want i will do it. It's better to have some guidelines for developing custom proxy .
One doubt i want to raise is regarding use of "id", i think "id" is created even if it is not mentioned as model field. What if, the table needs a field with name as id, what all we need to look into, to avoid any conflicts?
13 Feb 2012 11:42 PM #8
Hi guys, I haven't been able to work on a guide for this for the next release, but I promise I will try to write one soon.
27 Jun 2012 5:54 AM #9
8 Aug 2012 12:55 PM #10
I am also hoping to find some better documentation on building proxies. For instance, what is the interaction between Stores and Proxies and Readers/Writers. What is the Operation object like and how does a Proxy specifically interact with them.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
