Keenan Named New FCHS Athletic Director
by Emily Brunett, Courier Staff
The Fort Campbell Courier
Fort Campbell KY | July 26, 2012
Fort Campbell High School named Tricia Keenan as the new athletic director July 18.
Keenan replaces Ken Jankowski, who resigned in June.
"Ms. Keenan is very hard working and organized," Mohan Vaswani, high school principal, said in a written statement. "She is a long-time Fort Campbell resident that will build positive relationships within the community."
Keenan, an Army wife, moved into the Fort Campbell community in 1999. All four of her children have gone through or are currently in Fort Campbell schools.
She became involved with the high school's sports program when her daughter expressed interest in tennis.
"There was no tennis coach," Keenan said in a phone interview Friday. "They said, 'You want your daughter to play? Then come be the coach!'"
Although it started out as a learning experience, Keenan has coached the tennis teams for the past four years.
"Even if they were playing for fun, they learned the sport," she said. "Most of the kids who came out to play tennis were not even able to hit a ball against the wall. Many of them went on to play in the regional tournament."
She said she tried to facilitate a seamless transition for the players from learning the sport to becoming a team. In the same way, Keenan said, she hopes to do that as athletic director.
"I want to take care of the yucky stuff that takes coaches away from their time on the court or field," she said of coaches' paperwork responsibilities.
Keenan said she wants the coaches to know she's got their back.
"I want to take the extra work off the coaches so they can give it back to the kids and be a coach," she said.
Keenan hopes to fill the coaching staff vacancies before the school year progresses too far. She thinks finding and keeping coaches is one of the biggest challenges she will face as athletic director.
One of Keenan's goals, she said, is to promote a can-do attitude among the athletes, while keeping their safety a priority.
"Like it or not, high school sports is about winning," she said. "But there's more based behind that….[I'd say to tennis players] as long as they try and continue to make progress, that's what had to be looked at."
Since Keenan's Family has periodically experienced the absence of her husband, she said she understands the pressures military children go through.
"We never allowed [our children] to use Daddy's absence as an excuse not to behave the way they're supposed to," Keenan explained. "There will always be someone who has it easier than you, and someone you have it easier than. How you respond to that is what matters….I think it gives kids a sense of empowerment."
Keenan added that she is honored to be working with the coaching staff, and looking forward to working with them and the students.
Vaswani offered how he thinks Keenan will impact the current program.
"Ms. Keenan will support the strong tradition of Falcon pride within all the athletic programs at FCHS," he said.

One of Waterbury's finest jewels about to be taken away
Waterbury is on the brink of a jewel heist from which it will never be able to reclaim the stolen bounty. Goss Memorial Park as featured in Michael Puffer's Jan. 27 article "East End woods suggested as site for city school," is a "diamond in the rough" with great value to the city in its present form, and not much value in an altered state (with a school on the site).
Almost 100 years ago, Edward Goss was a visionary with the foresight to see the great value in open space and nature sanctuary. He took action to preserve a small portion of land for future generations. He could see that future generations would be too shortsighted to protect their valuable assets.

Is there difference between Saucisson Sec and Salami?
There's a difference between the title (is a sausiccon a type of salami), and the body (is there a difference).
The first is a question of classification, and no, a saucisson is type of cured sausage, but you'd want "saucisson sec" (dry sausage) for a dried, cured sausage with good storage characteristics like salami. So the relation is the other way around -- a salami is a type of saucisson.
"Differences" when you're dealing with general classifications such as this tend to be a question of if there are items that might fit into one category, but not the other. It's pretty obvious that salami is a narrower term than sausiccon, but I'm not sure if salami and sausiccon sec are just different names for the same concept, or if there might be items in one class that wouldn't fall into the other.
update : would sweet bologna be considered a saucisson sec ? It's only semi-dried, so I wouldn't classify it as a salami due to storage characteristics.
Saucisson sec might be used to call all the dried sausages. Salami is a dried sausage so it might be a saucisson sec. However, it is generally used to designate different recipes.
The difference can come from the size of the grounded meat, the seasoning or even the casing. As an example, Rhulman and Polcyn are providing a recipe for salami (heavily seasoned) and saucisson sec (lightly seasoned).
Also, salami or pepperoni are usually made of fine grounded meat which gives an homogeneous look to the stuffing while other dried sausages like rosette de Lyon or saucisson de ménage are more heterogenous looking. Salami is generally associated with bigger casings than saucissons secs. The size of the casing might not only affect the look but also the taste as a bigger casing necessitate longer drying.
Saucisse is any little sausage, fresh or dried. Saucisse seche is the term used when it's dried. Saucisson is any sausage that's air dried and cured -Salami is cured sausage, fermented and air-dried meat. So is it a Salami, semantics probable because the French don't want to call it a Salami.
As saucisson is defined as "a large, cured French sausage of ground pork flavored with garlic", then a saucisson is not a salami; salami is not usually flavored with garlic, and it's not only made with ground pork.
I do not think Saucisson need necessarily be of pork. I have eaten donkey and horse sausages which were refered to as "saucisson de cheval" (horse) and "saucisson de ane" (donkey).
Saucisson sec and salami are dry cured sausages. Salamis tend to have gone through a incubation period which gives the sausage an acidic taste, which also protects the meat from spoiling. Saucisson sec has no incubation period. Both sausages should be further protected by Nitrates and Nitrites to inhibit Botulism.
Do not mislead. Dried and cured are two different things. Dried when you leave meat to dry naturally and meat losing water in time. When you cure you involve smoke. There are two different type of curing - cold and hot. All three technology give different taste. Salami is cured not dried, saucisson sec is dried.

I am writing a paper with a case study in financial maths. I need to model an interest rate $(I_n)_{n\geq 0}$ as a sequence of non-negative i.i.d. random variables. Which distribution would you advise me to use? Currently I am considering the exponential distribution, but I am not sure that it is the right choice, though it is quite easy to work with.
Exponential distribution, although it's a good distribution for modeling non-negative numbers, doesn't make sense here since it's mode is 0.
From a pure statistical point of view, without any knowledge of interest rate, I'd recommend log-normal as in modeling stock prices and inverse-gamma or gamma distribution which are used to model variance or other scale parameters which is a non-negative distribution with mode greater than zero.
Interest rates in general are far from independent and identically distributed. A high interest rate observation is quite likely to be followed by another high observation, and the volatility is likely to be higher as well. Interest rates are also mean reverting, as in most real-world situations (at least for developed markets) interest rates rarely rise too high or dip too low.
Since you are looking for the simplest possible solution for a case study, I would recommend you start with a lognormal distribution, which implicitly assumes interest rates follow a geometric brownian motion. The problem with this distribution is that it assumes the interest rate can get arbitrarily high. The next simplest solution would be a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process, which has a noncentral chi-squared distribution of innovations. The following matlab function includes a simple simulation of a CIR process. The underlying distribution the function uses is noncentral chi-square, and the algorithm itself is quite clear even if you don't use or know matlab.
You could try using the Gaussian Affine Term Structure Models (GATSM), with the right boundary conditions to stop rates being negative (in the style of their Black implementation). See, for example, Monika Piazzesi, the "Affine Term Structure Models" if you want to enter/modify the basis or the work of Krippner, for example "Measuring the stance of monetary policy in zero lower bound environments".
General rate trading wisdom shows that if anything, normal distribution fits developed markets better. For example, most swaption traders talk about implied volatilities in basis points (per day or annualized).
Normal distribution makes most sense these days for ratesthat are very low, or even negative, like euribor, chf libor
Normal distribution is what is assumed by option brokers impliedvolatility quotes for these currencies
If you manage to get some data fitting your subject, one solution could be to try an empirical distribution.

I am working this summer on a Conservative summer program as a staff member. I discussed with the employer issues of me being orthodox (such as egalitarian davening) and we worked out some of these problems. The kashrut is reliable (Orthodox certified) and the program is shomer shabbat (although I don't know how legitimate that is). One big concern that I don't know how to deal with is, am I allowed to daven with their minyan if their are women leading? Of course I can daven off to the side, but should I respond amen to their brachot? Are there any other issues that I should be concerned with? How should I deal with them?

I am reviewing Calc $2$ material and I came across a problem which asked me to explain why $x^\pi$ does not have a Taylor Series expansion around $x=0$. To me it seems that it would have an expansion but it would just be $0$, so maybe it's not a suitable expansion. It doesn't have any holes and it is infinitely differentiable so I don't know why it couldn't have an expansion.
Consider what happens for higher powered derivatives. $\frac{d^4}{dx^4}x^{\pi}=(\pi)(\pi -1)(\pi -2)(\pi -3)x^{\pi -4}$ You can think of this as $c \frac{1}{x^{k}}$ for some positive real number k which is not defined at 0.
I decided to elaborate on my comment above.
What is $x^\pi$ if $x$ is negative? Trying to approximate with $x^r$ for rational $r$ is problematic, depending on which rational numbers you use to approximate; should the answer be positive, negative, imaginary? Perhaps more reasonable would be to take $x^\pi=e^{\pi \log(x)}$ for some suitably chosen branch of the logarithm on $(-\infty,0)$, the most common choice being $\log x=\ln(-x)+\pi i$. Your function then becomes $$ f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} e^{\pi \ln x} & : x>0 \\ 0 & : x=0 \\ e^{i\pi^2}e^{\pi \ln(-x)} & :x<0 \end{array} \right. $$
In particular, it is not real-valued. You can still go ahead and try to take its derivatives, but this piecewise representation may make it less surprising that there is going to be a singularity at zero.
As a graphical supplement to Jonas's and WWright's answers:
This is a plot of the real and imaginary parts of $(x+iy)^\pi$ in the complex plane. Note the cut running across the negative real axis. This cut is precisely the reason why you cannot have a Maclaurin expansion; polynomials cannot exhibit cuts, and a Maclaurin expansion amounts to approximating your function with a sequence of polynomials.

Managing Your Maternity Leave
In This Article:
State laws; discriminationState Laws for Maternity Leave
In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that every state has the right to enact antidiscrimination laws to protect pregnant employees. About half the states have enacted laws since then requiring all but the smallest companies to give unpaid leave to pregnant workers. The standard paid maternity/disability leave, which must be certified by a physician, is six to eight weeks plus any accrued vacation time, with the average leave being three months. Sometimes, it's extended for a Caesarean birth.
In many cases, firms must promise the same job, or a comparable one, after the leave has ended. According to federal law, any greater right allowed by state law prevails. Contact your state labor board or employment office for more information.
If your employer doesn't have a disability planoften the case with a small businessyou may have to accept an unpaid leave. In that case, check with your local employment office to find out if you're qualified for unemployment benefits or temporary state disability benefits. Also, a few very progressive companies offer parental leave, which is usually in addition to maternity/disability leave and is available to both men and women.
Paternity Leave
Even though the FMLA provides new parentsincluding fathers and adoptive parentswith twelve weeks of unpaid leave to care for a newborn or adopted child, the myth is still around that men who take paternity leave are not serious about their jobs. Also, companies usually don't encourage new fathers to take time off for bonding with a new child.
While 50 percent of all fathers questioned in a national survey said they would spend more time with their children if their jobs permitted, they're more likely to take vacation time or use sick days when their babies are born. That's because they are afraid their managers or coworkers will disapprove. Only 15 percent of men eligible under FMLA make a formal request for paternity leave.
Given a choice between paternity leave or more flexible work arrangements such as telecommuting, most fathers voted for the latter. That's why an increasing number of companies offer benefits such as flexible work arrangements, parenting education classes, and on-site child care.
What to Do When You Suspect Bias Based on Your Pregnancy
Discrimination can occur in many different forms. Under the aforementioned laws, the following subtle and not-so-subtle types of pregnancy and sex discrimination are also prohibited:
Hiring Practices
- An employer refused to hire you because of your pregnancy-related condition even though you were able to perform the major functions of the job.
- An employer refused to hire you because of his or her prejudices against pregnant workers or the prejudices of coworkers, clients, or customers.
- An employer asked you about future plans that you may have for pregnancy during an interview or after you're hired.
- Certain job responsibilities you were able to perform were assigned to another coworker.
- You were not provided modified tasks or alternative assignments when you were temporarily unable to perform your job while other temporarily disabled employees at your workplace were.
- Your employer singled out pregnancy-related conditions for special procedures to determine your ability to work. (If, however, your employer requires its employees to submit a doctor's statement concerning their inability to work before granting leave or paying sick benefits, your employer may require you to submit such statements.)
- Your well-earned raise had been denied.
- You were given a poor job performance evaluation for no good reason.
- Your employer made sexist comments about your crazy hormones or expanding belly or made unwelcome sexual advances or requests.
- Pregnancy-related benefits are limited because you are unmarried.
- Benefits are provided for other medical conditions, but not for pregnancy-related conditions.
- Benefits are provided to workers on leave, but not for those on leave for pregnancy-related conditions.
- You are not treated the same as other temporarily disabled employees for accrual and crediting of seniority, vacation calculation, pay increases, and temporary disability benefits.
- Stand up for yourselfIn a dignified way, make it clear to your boss that punishment for having a child is against the law.
- Keep a written recordDocument any negative comments or insulting behavior regarding your pregnancy. Keep detailed notes on everything, plus copies of all relevant interoffice memos. Get a copy of your personnel file, if possible, and photocopy any past performance reviews. Find out if anyone else in your workplace has experienced similar problems.
- Seek relief higher upGo through whatever channels are necessary to stop the discrimination: your union, your human resources, the personnel department, or your boss's supervisor. Employers are obligated by law to take steps necessary to prevent discrimination from occurring. These include clearly communicating to employees that discrimination or sexual harassment will not be tolerated and by establishing an effective complaint or grievance process and taking immediate and appropriate action when an employee complains.
- Stay abreast of current lawsA coalition of civil rights groups is lobbying for new legislation to strengthen the civil rights laws. To get more information about what you're legally entitled to, contact:
- 9to5, National Association of Working Women
(800) 522-0925
- National Partnership for Women and Families
(202) 986-2600
- U.S. Department of Labor
(800) 827-5335
- The Employment Law Guide
- File a complaintIf nothing else works, and you're prepared to spend at least eighteen months fighting your case and possibly suffering career repercussions, file a complaint with one of the following:
- American Civil Liberties Union
- Commission on Human Rights
- Department of Fair Employment and Housing
- The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
- National Woman's Law Center
- Women's Legal Defense Fund
- Women's Rights Agency of the State
- Check into the many websites for interviewing about dealing with the "illegal question"
If it is decided that you are indeed being discriminated against, you would be entitled to a remedy that would place you in the position you would have been in if the discrimination had never occurred. You may be entitled to hiring, promotion, reinstatement, back pay, and other remuneration. Some state and local laws do allow damages to compensate you for future pecuniary losses, mental anguish, and inconvenience. Punitive damages may be available, as well, if your employer acted with malice or reckless indifference. You may also be entitled to attorney's fees.

Hardest part of running a methadone clinic is getting it started
An application for a methadone clinic that the Torrington Planning and Zoning Commission rejected this year shaped up as one of the commission's most controversial decisions in recent city history. The applicant, the nonprofit Hartford Dispensary, operates nine methadone clinics statewide to serve a steadily rising number of patients addicted to heroin or prescription narcotics. State statistics on addiction aside, neighbors, Mayor Ryan J. Bingham, City Economic Development Coordinator Rose Ponte and others worried a clinic would lower property values, invite crime and create traffic headaches. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-1 against the application, and Hartford Dispensary promptly filed a lawsuit in state Superior Court; and a federal lawsuit alleging discrimination of the Americans with Disabilities Act is in the works.

I want to know how to change coordinate value of a vector layer (13293061,-572595) to 119.413,-5.13677 (vector data & Google Earth do not match). If I output my data using Google Earth as background, the vector data does not match with the underlying google layer. Printing the result to PDF also has this same problem.
Generally speaking, to convert a vector in QGIS you just need to right click on the layer in the TOC and select "save as...". In the dialog that will pop up you need to choose the CRS you need. Be sure that when loading the original vector this has (just check in the vector properties) the right CRS, it is not unusual to have vectors with non explicit CRS, in these cases QGIS handle the layer in different ways, depending how you configured the program in the general options, "CRS" tab.

A federal panel is recommending that all pregnant women, not just those considered at high risk, be screened for the AIDS virus. The recommendation comes as testing has proven so successful at helping prevent the spread of the disease to babies.
HIV-infected pregnant women can be given combination drug therapies, have Caesarean sections, or avoid breast-feeding to help keep their babies safe.
Bowling Green Dr. Steven Beverly says he recommends all of his expectant mothers take an HIV test.
Dr. Beverly says, "Because if somebody's found to have HIV we can use AZT and other retro virals to decrease the viral load within the mother and this will decrease the transmission for the infant. Infants with mothers who have it, that haven't been detected, have a one in four chance of developing it from their mother."
The task force also says those at high-risk for HIV include women getting care at homeless shelters or clinics specializing in the care of sexually transmitted diseases.

Is there any reason for this other than key/certificate management on the client-side?
What is authentication ? That's making sure that whoever is at the other end of the tunnel is who you believe. It really depends on the kind of identity that you want to use.
For most Web sites, the interesting notion is continuity. They do not really care who is connected; indeed, the point of a Web site is to be readable by everybody. The kind of authenticity that a Web site wishes to achieve is to make sure that two successive requests are really from the same client (whoever that client may be). This is because the Web site experience is that of a logical succession of pages, driven by the user's actions (the links on which he clicks), and meddling with that movie-like framework is what the attacker is after. The user and the Web site designers think in terms of sessions and the attacker wants to hijack the session.
This authenticity is achieved by several mechanisms:
The cookie is sufficient to ensure continuity.
What extra value would client certificates add ? Well, not much. Certificates are a way to distribute key/name bindings. There are mostly three scenarios where client certificates (in a Web context) are relevant:
In the common case of a Web server, none of these scenarios apply. So client certificates are not used, because they would raise practical issues while not adding any extra value. That would be a solution in search of a problem.
The primary reason is that 95% of internet users have no idea what a client-side certificate is, let alone how to use one. Some users can barely manage to use usernames and passwords, and most still don't bother with two-factor authentication. It's also a hassle to install a client certificate on separate devices (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) for authentication to a single service.
So, for a quick list:
So, whilst it would be nice to see client-side certificates on a large scale, I really don't see it happening unless a serious event pushes vendors into doing it.
The client is trying to reach a specific server, identified in the URL. So the client needs to authenticate the server.
On the other hand, in most uses of HTTPS, any client can contact the server. The server doesn't have any prior knowledge of the client. So there is nothing for the server to authenticate the client against. The server wants to authenticate the user, not the client machine.
In an Internet setting, the client may be behind a proxy, on a dynamic IP address, etc. There is nothing that the server might want to verify. The only point of authenticating the client would be to record its identity for future uses, either for forensic purposes or to track clients across multiple connections. Since users may connect from multiple machines, there is not much point in tracking client machines. Recording client identities is only very marginally useful to identify malicious clients or users after the fact (the attacker is likely to have generated a certificate that doesn't provide any useful information), it isn't worth spending any effort.
In an intranet setting, where only known clients should connect to the server, client authentication is useful and is used.
In cases like Gmail, Yahoo and other web apps that use PKI to authenticate servers, client authentication is not done using certificates, but instead uses simpler authentication such as user/name passwords. Think about this. Your browser can store x number of certificates for the various CA's, and the websites out there. But can Gmail hold certificates for its millions of users ? It is simply not scalable.
This is a very simplified answer as to why client certificates are not used. However, when you SSH into a server, client certificates are/maybe used.

Hello Forum,
In addition to my tutorial(*) about the creation of 360x180 degree spherical 3D panoramas I will explain how to make a 3D partial panorama with a FOV of approx. 150x120 degree with just 2 fisheye images.
(*) http://www.nodalninja.com/forum/show...e-lens&p=29431
Making a 3D partial panorama is easy and relatively fast to do.
Instead of placing the camera in portrait mode now the camera is placed in landscape mode and instead of a relatively small NPP off set of 4.5cm this time the NPP offset is set to a distance of approx. 16cm.
For this a Nodal Ninja lensring and a Nodal Ninja quick release clamp are mounted on the outer end of upper arm of the NodalNinja panohead (**).
Because the NPP offset is so large a rotation of 10 degree is enough to get the necessary parallax error we need for 3D depth.
(**) it is also possible to remove the vertical arm of the panohead and to mount the camera in landscape position on the outer end of the under rail but then, if a tilt is needed, the legs of the tripod have to be adjusted a lot or a ball head under the rotator must be used.
The list of steps is much shorter, I will not go into details because most is already explained in the full tutorial so here is just a short summary:
1) convert the 2 fisheye images to equirectangulars but don't crop them, output to 360x180 degree .
2) import both equirectangulars in StereoPhoto Maker (menu File > Open left/right images..) follow from here step 10 of the full tutorial.
3) After saving the anaglyph equirectangular and converting to a panorama you need to limit the view angle of the player to avoid showing the black parts of the panorama.
Here is an example I shot for this tutorial:
Images of the setup are here:
And here is the pano I shot with the setup:
Note that the color of the red roses is interfering with the red/cyan anaglyph system and that makes it really hard to get a nice 3D experience, hence the second panorama in yellow/blue (for the amber/blue ColorCode 3D viewer) is much better for this scene.
Please no copying/pasting of the complete text of this tutorial on other forums, it makes it impossible for other people to read the replies, clarifications and updates.
It is much better to post a link to the tutorial like this:

AccordionPanel add error
When attempting to add a ContentPanel to an AccordionLayoutContainer, I get the following error:

27 Feb 2013 7:26 AM #2
Is it possible that your ContentPanel was already used somewhere else before and so it was already attached once?
Currently there is a check in place for this. However in GXT 3 this also might be possible to be a runtime change that should always be possible. I will move this thread to the bugs forum for investigation.
27 Feb 2013 7:44 AM #3
Hi Sven,
I am sure that the ContentPanels being added are brand-new.
Pseudo code for my use case is as follows:
Viewport v = new Viewport(); v.setWidget(new BorderLayoutContainer()); v.getWidget().setWestWidget(new AccordionLayoutContainer()); RootPanel.get().add(viewport); // ... some processing goes on ... for (some_item in some_list) { ContentPanel newPane = ... // processing of some_item results in a new panel v.getWidget().getWestWidget().add(newPane); }
27 Feb 2013 9:58 AM #4
OK, as workaround, can you try to add the viewport after your precessing?

Yeah, if I add the panels before adding the Viewport to the RootPanel, everything works fine. It was just inconvenient, not as much as a show stopper (in this use-case, anyway.)

Any news on this issue?
I was having same problem adding ContentPanel to AccordionLayoutContainer in GXT 3.1.1.I debug the code and it looks like the ContentPanel was attached before the setCollapsible method of it was called so pre-render assertion fail raise.
This method of AccordionLayoutContainer:
@Override protected void onInsert(int index, Widget child) { super.onInsert(index, child); assert child instanceof ContentPanel : "AccordionLayoutContainer must be ContentPanels"; ContentPanel cp = (ContentPanel) child; cp.addBeforeExpandHandler(handler); cp.addExpandHandler(handler); cp.setCollapsible(true); cp.setHideCollapseTool(hideCollapseTool); cp.setAnimCollapse(false); cp.setTitleCollapse(titleCollapse); }

The issue occurs when adding a content panel on to the accordion after it's rendered. To dynamically fix this, the accordion would have to be removed from parent, rebuilt and then re-added which would render it with the new panel. In other words we don't currently support adding it once its rendered, but have support for rebuilding and adding it.
At the moment I don't have any workarounds b/c the assertion happens in the component.Thanks,

Is there a "rule of thumb" for how fast new technology "trickles down" from higher-end to lower-end bike models? Can you for example say that a mid-end bicycle frame or suspension fork is as good as the previous high-end, or does it usually take more than one generation for the technology to spread?

They say that this year's Tiagra is generally last year's 105, which is true to an extent. You'll see things like 10 speed cassettes move down the product line at a rate of one series per year or so.
It's not entirely true though. Features creep down, but quality stays about the same. The different series will maintain their relative build qualities year after year. I.e. a higher priced series will have better materials used throughout.
Having said that, I don't believe that build quality is really a deciding factor in most groups. I've put 20000km into a Sora group that is still running just fine. You just need to keep up the proper maintenance.
My knowledge is mainly about downhill mountain bikes. Firstly I don't think the technology has really gone very far at all. Secondly you need to buy the top, or middle model bike for the good components, that's always been the case.
Most downhill mountain bikes still do not have a gearbox inside the frame. The price for this bike of gear box bike has not gone down one bit.
There are still plenty of single pivot frame designs around.
A lot of bikes come with DT swiss cheese wheels, which are notorious for bending.
Forks like Fox and Rockshox still require a lot of maintenance (oil seals). The suspension will have fewer adjustments. If you buy the bottom model the suspension will probably be rubbish. Marzochi still have ridiculously bad dampers on their low end forks.
No, it doesn't work this way at all. There is no moore's law like computer hardware. Just like cars, the bikes will sometimes improve when a company ditches their old frame design and releases a new model of bikes. The suspension companies are always going to reserve their best technology for their premium model products. That technology hasn't really improved much so there is not much trickling down going on. Usually they just fix flaws in their previous products.
Avid now make brakes that have problems with air bubbles. Their old brakes were perfectly fine. Still, at least we have moved on from Hayes, that is definitely an example of technology trickling down.
Shimano now make disk brakes with a crappy sline attachment. Hope ditched their spline design years ago.
If anything the technology is going backwards in some ways.
The new price has come down slightly. But the second hand market is a lot better now since there are plenty of bikes around. This wasn't always the case when these downhill bikes were a new technology. I always get a top end bike, but I never buy it brand new. It has to be a few years used or

A small dog has been delighting residents of his southwest China city with a range of tricks including cycling, skateboarding and balancing on top of a ball, state media reported.
Two-year-old Duoduo from Kunming city, capital of Yunnan province, has learnt a range of different skills remarkably quickly, says his determined owner Mr. Duan.
Wearing a pair of glasses and a cape that would make Elton John proud, Duoduo rolls through the streets on a small scooter, footage from China Central Television (CCTV) showed.
Duoduo can also ride a small bike, which Mr. Duan adapted from two bikes to make it more stable.
"The first time I trained him to ride the bicycle was this September. Everyone thought it was quite hard for a dog to ride a bike, but Duoduo is clever, and I taught him to do it again and again, and now he's basically got the hang of it," said Duan.
When Duoduo was five months old, Duan had already taught him to cross his arms, bow, shake hands and salute. But he quickly moved on to more challenging feats and now Duoduo can balance on top of a ball for long periods with a rose tucked neatly into his mouth.
"The first time he could only stand on the ball for several seconds. But on the second day, I started to teach him to walk on it, and now he can stand on it for a long time," Duan said.
Duoduo can also jump through a hoop Duan makes with his arms, walk on only his forelegs with his hind legs in the air, and weave neatly between Duan's walking legs.

ExtND on Github
What happened to the files on Github?
10 Jan 2014 7:05 AM #2
There are still there. I changed the repo name a while back to SDK so perhaps the link you are using is no longer redirecting. The correct location is https://github.com/extnd/SDK
Oh, and the files are under the ODP/WebContent folder. That's another change that was done and maybe that's why you don't see the js/css files.
ODP is the on-disk-project of the actual database so that developers can re-create the nsf with the agents and other 'domino' specific resources. I'm trying to make it so that developers don't have to wait for a new nsf but instead just create their own from the ODP and keep their on nsf in-sync with the contents from github.Jack Ratcliff

Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, called for the Obama administration to allow the expansion of the Keystone Pipeline across international borders during a stop in Belmont County Thursday.
Upton, R-Mich., joined Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, and Shane Thompson, Republican candidate for Ohio House in the 95th District, for a campaign stop at the Smith Township Community Center in Jacobsburg.
"Obama - in his national radio address Saturday - said, 'I'll do whatever it takes to create jobs,'" Upton said. "We'll we're losing them ... hand over foot."
He spoke of the opportunities for jobs and energy supply yet to be realized through the Keystone Pipeline's proposed entry from Canada into America.
"So here is Canada - they're probably going to go to 4 million barrels (of oil) a day by the end of the decade," Upton said. "They want to send us that oil. It's a private pipeline. The refineries - they have spent tens of billions expanding to get ready for it so that we can have a source using our friend's oil. You already get a million barrels a day from Canada, so this will expand that."
It's expected the pipeline expansion would create thousands of jobs in America, he noted.
"And yet the administration has been sitting on this for four years just to let the pipeline cross the international border - that's the only role they have," Upton said.
If America doesn't sign the pact with Canada, it's likely the country will export the oil to China, he noted. China will pay to expand the pipeline to the west, then ship the oil back home to China to fuel jobs and industry there, according to Upton.
"That's not where we want it to go," he said. "I believe we can have a North American energy independent plan. If we are going to compete with the rest of the world, we have the energy resources here to do that. So whether it's coal, whether it's natural gas, whether it's safe nuclear - and yes, whether its renewables - whether it's the Keystone Pipeline ... we can do it here. And we don't have to subscribe to some of the Middle Eastern elements that jack that price up."
Canada is our best friend, "except in hockey," Upton quipped.
"They're our largest exporter ... and we ought to be doing things to expand that relationship," he noted.
In his remarks, Johnson discussed recent job losses in the coal industry.
"The war on coal is not what some people have termed 'imaginary,'" Johnson said. "It is very, very real. It is not a fabrication. If you do not believe it is real, just ask the thousands that have lost their jobs as a result of the war on coal."
But Ed Good, former chairman of the Belmont County Democratic Party, asked Johnson and Upton if it were true coal production was actually up by 7 percent in the region.
"It's my understanding, coal production is down," Upton said.
Johnson acknowledged it might be true that coal production is up locally, but he said a lot of the coal being harvested in Ohio is going to China.
"It's just like manufacturing," he said. "Because of the regulatory burden and tax burden coming out of Washington, D.C., coal operators are having to send their product off shore. If it is up, it's up because we are exporting it. And countries like China don't subscribe to the environmental concerns we Americans do. They are not going to be concerned about carbon emissions."
The war on coal is actually a two-pronged attacked, according to Johnson - one in which both the production and the marketing of coal are being targeted through environmental regulations.

Let $R$ be an arbitrary ring. Let $D$ be the class of $R$-modules of projective dimension less than or equal to a natural number $n$. If $L$ is the direct union of a continuous chain of submodules ${L_{\alpha},\alpha < \lambda}$ for some ordinal number $\lambda$ (this means that $L=\bigcup_{\alpha}L_{\alpha},\ L_{\alpha}\subseteq L_{\alpha'}$ if $\alpha \leq \alpha' <\lambda$ and $\ L_{\beta}=\bigcup_{\alpha <\beta} L_\alpha$ when $\beta < \lambda $ is a limit ordinal) with $L_{0}\in D$ and $L_{\alpha +1}/L_{\alpha}\in D, \forall \alpha<\lambda,$ can one show that $L \in D$?
PS: We know that when $R$ is a perfect ring, then $D$ is closed under direct limits, then we can prove the above by transfinite induction. But if $R$ is not perfect, how can we show that?

There's a battle brewing about land on Plum Springs Road in North Warren County. It stems from a proposed new subdivision.
Chris Gravil is against the proposed neighborhood. He says: "We're not against the property adjoining us being developed. We just think it should be conforming to what's already there. The lot sizes should bigger."
If the subdivision goes along as planned that means that 269 houses will go in on these 97 acres. Meaning each house will only be about 1400 square feet.
Judy Jones says: "This area here people come out here for the main reason that it's quiet. You've got acre lots. You can build a nice home. It's very peaceful. That subdivision is designed like a trailer park."
Judy Jones lives in Meadowview right next to the proposed neighborhood. She's concerned about the amount of traffic that would come along with it.
Jones says: "I think it's going to overload the community out here, by far."
Brent Travelsted represents residents of Meadowview against the proposed subdivision. He says: "You're talking about this 2,700 or 2,900 depending on the day of the trip as referenced in the traffic study that vast majority are going to come out of this lesser density neighborhood and it's going to seriously degrade the value."
But the developer of the proposed subdivision, Steve Snodgrass, says there wouldn't be any traffic burden that Plum Springs Road couldn't handle.
Snodgrass says: "Basically there's not that much change in the traffic study. County roads and state roads are built for traffic. Yeah there will be more homes but as far as major bottleneck there's not going to be much of an impact."
Snodgrass says the community he's developing is geared toward people who want smaller lots- but he says the homes will be the same value as neighboring areas.
For those against the proposed subdivision they have a hard time believing that.
Gravil says: "It's progress. But at the cost of many and I think there's only a few that are going to gain from it."
Snodgrass says the new neighborhood will have streetlights, sidewalks, and a neighborhood association. All things, he says, would make it a good community. But most importantly they will be running sewer lines to the property. And they may also get Atmos to put natural gas in the homes.

State Auditor Mike Foley says the state Department of Health and Human Services has cost Nebraska taxpayers over $1.8 million by failing to seek federal reimbursement funds in a timely manner.
In a letter to the department, the state auditor points out that the funds were owed to the state through an adoption assistance program managed by health and human services.
Foley's audit team initially discovered that the department had failed to seek $656,489 in federal reimbursement during the five-year grace period for doing so.
The state auditor's office reports that after realizing that Nebraska taxpayers had been short-changed by what the health and human services called a "clerical error," the auditors dug deeper and discovered the problem to be a far more serious one that has been occurring for years.
As of June 30, 2012, the department failed to collect $1,821,941 relating to child welfare and protection.
Federal law allows a State agency five years after the period of availability in which to request Federal funds for certain program expenditures incurred by the state.
By failing to make such a request for federal reimbursement during the considerable time allotted, health and human services missed the opportunity for the federal funds.
"The failure of the department to pursue almost two million dollars in available federal funds resulted in child welfare and protection costs being paid for instead with state tax dollars, which could have been used for some other purpose," the auditor office reports.
The breakdown of the funds lost by DHHS was:
- Grant Year Grant Program Amount Lost
- 1996 Child Support Enforcement $46,230
- 1998 Adoption Assistance $76,096
- 1999 Adoption Assistance $417,194
- 2001 Child Support Enforcement $27,140
- 2002 Foster Care Title IV-E $210,713
- 2003 Foster Care Title IV-E $243,919
- 2004 Adoption Assistance $123,419
- 2006 Adoption Assistance $656,489
- 2006 State Survey $20,741
- Total Federal Funds Lost $1,821,941

Can't have more than one association instance of the same model
Architect doesn't expose the associatedName config for associations, which causes the cached property to be "{ModelName}BelongsToInstance", creating a conflict when you want to association multiple models of the same type.
For now, I've overcome this by overriding the getInstanceName methods of the associations to use the associationKey, if it's available, i.e.:
Ext.define('Ext.data.association.override.BelongsTo', { override: 'Ext.data.association.BelongsTo', getInstanceName:function(){ var assKey = this.getAssociationKey(); return assKey ? assKey+'BelongsToInstance' : me.callParent(); } });
7 Oct 2012 5:50 AM #2
There is a property called instanceName for hasOne associations. It isn't exposed by default in SA but if you type it in to the search area for configs like this: instanceName:'someInstanceName' and click add SA will add it for you as a custom property. If you give each instance of a hasOne association a seperate instanceName it should let you have multiple hasOne associations to the same model.
10 Oct 2012 6:19 AM #3
Thanks for the tip! I must admit my eyes have skipped over that field for a while now. From looking at the code/docs, I think associatedName is the intended config variable for this, or possibly the fallback (instanceName isn't mentioned in the docs). I think this is still a low-priority bug for Architect, which should expose a config variable to prevent overlapping the "cache" keys.

Council of Cardinals: Real curial reform is coming.
Pope Francis's Council of Cardinals will recommend major changes to the Roman Curia, not merely "cosmetic" ones, according to Vatican spokesman Frederico Lombardi, SJ. The cardinals won't suggest "marginal modifications" to Pastor Bonus, John Paul II's 1988 document reforming several aspects of the Curia. Instead, Lombardi explained, they're planning to write a whole new constitution "with significant new aspects."
Guiding these reforms will be an ethic of service--a theme Francis touched on in his recent interview. The idea is to refashion the Curia "in terms of subsidiarity, rather than the exercise of centralized power," Lombardi said. To that end, the Council of Cardinals will discuss the possibility of creating a moderator for the Curia who would facilitate communication between the various dicasteries--and the pope. (Paging Cardinal Kasper.)
It looks like the Secretariat of State will get a makeover too. The office "should be the secretariat of the pope; the word State should not give rise to doubt. This body serves the pope in the governance of the universal church," according to Lombardi.
The role of the laity also featured in the council's deliberations, "so that this dimension of the life of the church is properly and effectively recognised and followed by the governance of the church," Lombardi said. In the run-up to the meeting, the eight cardinals received many suggestions and questions on this subject, which, according to Lombardi, could result in the "strengthening" of the Pontifical Council for the Laity.
The Council of Cardinals will meet again in December, and again in February, but, Lombardi cautioned, that doesn't mean its members won't communicate with one another--and with the pope--in the meantime.
That Santa Marta phone bill is going to be a doozy.

I sincerely hope that we see some significant recognition of the value and contributions of the laity and that this recognition translates into increase participation in and influence over the highest levels of church governance. Otherwise it will be just another exercise in rearranging the deck chairs.
The idea of "new evangelization" could be given a shot in the arm by Rome's sending a signal that rampant clericalism is no longer the law of the church.
Talk is cheap...
The world's oldest continuous ruling feudal oligarchy and beauracracy is not going to go away without a fight.
As much as I would like to believe that Francesco has the political and pastoral skill to make things happen along the Tiber, I remain skeptical.
Remember this is same crew who over time [really the last 40 years ever since Wojtyla was elected] has effectively strangled and left for near dead the great aggiornamento of Vatican2.
As mentioned already, I fear that this so-called Council of Cardinals is more about re-arranging the proverbial deck chairs on the Titantic.
The requisite reform the Catholic Church desperately needs: The Catholic priesthood must be reformed and renewed from parish to pope. The key to untying this Gordian knot of a pastoral problem is a complete revolution in Church thinking about the role of women in the church.
If Francesco is really interested in making a change: LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE!
I think I'll try to find a comfortable deck chair from which to watch the Roman kabuki dancing about to begin in Rome ...
Two references to the deck chairs of a sinking ship so far.
It may turn out that at least some of the reforms will leave us scratching our heads. The cardinals all have at least one foot planted in the workings of the Holy See, and we don't, so they see things from a different point of view than we do. I confess I can't immediately identify what impact on my life a reform of the Secretariat of State is going to bring about. But I'll give it a chance to bring about some good.
Well Blackburn, what metaphor do you think is most appropriate?
Very early on Francesco said that the church can't remain so self-referential. If this reform movement becomes about the clerics and the curia, it will be doomed - another exercise in "solemn nonsense."
Reforming the curia sounds impressive, but real change in the issues that have caused the most dissent in the church .... the way the church has been dealing with women's ordination, LGBT people, sex abuse, enforced celibacy for clergy .... doesn't seem to be happening. Today I saw a story in the Tablet ... http://www.thetablet.co.uk/latest-news/5716 .... which basically says the church will never alloow women to be priests :(

Lehmann rules out women priests
3 October 2013
Women's ordination would split the Church, Cardinal Karl Lehmann of Mainz has warned.
Asked in an interview with the German Catholic Church's official internet portal katholisch.de when he thought the Church would allow women to become priests, Cardinal Lehmann said that, although he personally could imagine it happening, as a Catholic theologian he did not see how the Church could change the teaching of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
But he said women's ordination must not be made a yardstick of women's standing in the Church. "I wish we could have been definitive on the ordination of women as permanent deacons. The discussion over the last 20 or 30 years has been too slow for my taste ... Meanwhile we must open all the other important positions there are in the Church for women."
Asked to evaluate the first six months of Pope Francis's papacy, Cardinal Lehmann said Francis had made a strong start but it was worth remembering that as regards spiritual renewal, theological world vision and analysis of the Church's place in the world, Pope Benedict XVI "did a great deal which will have a lasting place in the future Church."
Pope Francis's "impulses and charismatic impacts" must now lead to renewal, he stressed.
Of course, the last time I looked, Lehmann is not the final word on these things.
Thanks, Jim! :)
I'm sure that the captain of the Titanic wasn't too worried about the placement of the deck chairs, but this man had a legitimate concern: "He who travels in the barque of Peter had better not look too closely into the engine room." Msgr. Ronald Knox
It is about time that this is taken into account: "Quod omnes tangit debet ab omnibus approbari."
I like them against the Pirates. With Francis, they have a full lineup.
Jim Jenkins (6:01 p.m.): The deck chairs on the Titanic are a metaphor for useless activity in a crisis. Reforming the Curia is not, right off the bat, a useless activity, since everyone on the left and right and in the center seems to agree it is necessary, even if they disagree about how the Curia should change.
It might be argued that no matter what Pope Francis does, the Curia, like a waterbed, will resume its old shape when he gets off of it. But that would call for Sisyphus as the metaphor, not the Tintanic, ainna?
The important thing here is that Pastor Bonus is dead, collegiality is restored, and Vatican II is going to be implimented, showing the continuity of Francis with The Popes of Vatican II. The most important consequence of this development is that history will show that the papacies of John Paiul II and Benedict XVI were aberations. They were bumps in the road to the full implementation of Vatican II, driven by egos of two Popes who favored power over collegiality, and tried to undo the work of the Holy Spirit with their perverse interpretation of the hermeneutic of Vatican II. They have a lot to answer for. And BTW it is for this reason that I think it is a great disservice to John XXIII that he will be canonized on the same day as JPII, who worked assiduously against John XXIII's view of the Church. In my opinion each should have his own canonization ceremony.
Alan, do you think they should be canonized at all?
Grant wrote, "That Santa Marta phone bill is going to be a doozy."
Not necessarily. Skype, anyone?
Remember that the operating priciple for this pope is mercy. He may be strong minded and strong worded but he is also politically shrewd from working under a cruel dictatorship and striving to save some victms of that dictatorship.
It is merciful to canonize both at the same time, signalling that the partisans of both belong in the church.
It is politically shrewd to canonize both at the same time. The partisans of the anti-Vatican II pope will have a harder time using "their" pope as a dissident rallying point. I would suspect that any future parishes that want to name thmeselves after one of these popes will have to name themselves after both.
In a sense these two to-be-canonized popes are the thesis and the antithesis, and Francis will produce the synthesis. Mainly by incorporating the reforms of Vatican II, since those against the reforms have merely re-installed the pre-Vatican II habits in need of reform.
Above all the pope wants to emphasize practice and not ideology.
It has been announced that the Council of Cardinals will meet again from 3 to 5 December. Then, a third meeting in February. They are setting a brisk pace.
The year was 1965 and my classmates and I were lining up for the procession into Boston's cathedral for the ordination of deacons to the priesthood. There had been great foment in the seminary that year with the pro and anti aggiornamento crowds dueling it out with each other. A buddy of mine turned to me and said, "It all looks like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic". I agreed, but as it turns out the ship is still operational though it has suffered (and caused) untold damage. Think of the iceberg as a symbol for the countless victims of churchmen.
We should not have unrealistic expectations for institutional reforms because they involve people and people can mess things up badly, even with the best of intentions. Francis has already driven several rhetorical nails into the coffin of clericalism and monarchical government of the church. I think we should also give JPII and BXVI a little credit for their efforts to deal with some of the crazier initiatives spawned in the wake of VII. In the early 70's it was really beginning to look and feel chaotic with an "anything goes" mentality spreading far and wide. Unfortunately, they went too far and anti-renewal forces in the curia were unleashed to do lots of damage.
I believe we will see lot of laymen and women appointed to significant positions in a new curia which will clearly missioned to be of service to the Pope and the bishops. I have a feeling that he's going to do some innovative things with cardinals and may even change the rules of papal elections to involve greater representation. I think he may name some "ordinary" bishops as cardinals, rather than rewarding only those with large dioceses. Maybe he'll name the bishop of Little Rock or DesMoines or Oklahoma City. That would send a signal about careerism, huh?
Jack Foley: San Francisco has always felt snubbed that its imcumbant Abp has never been made a cardinal.
I hope that Francis doesn't have a change of heart about that UNTIL the current occupier of the chair has moved elsewhere.
"It is merciful to canonize both at the same time, signalling that the partisans of both belong in the church."
I realize this may sound 'snarky' but since when does canonization have anything to do with keeping people happy? I am appalled that JPII was 'fast-tracked' to sainthood and even more so because it was initiated by his closest confidant. I would honestly appreciate some one explaining to me 1) Why the 'normal' canonization process was tossed aside for JPII, and 2) why, oh why did Rome find it necessary to canonize both Pope John XXIII, who initiated Vatican II, and JPII, who tried to erase it, on the same day?

That would send a signal about careerism
That should be the organizational trajectory all right and that would be a very good start. It needs to begin with clear vision and it seems that Francis is doing that extraordinarily well. Now we just needs leaders with the skills, resources, and planning to implement this vision and it will be set. But Francis is definitely doing his part as a strong leader in terms of modelling and articulating a clear vision. Lets just hope the senior leadership is on board with a strategy!
The whole tenor of these Pope Francis reorganization conversations is that leadership should be broadened and more inclusive; that ordinary people and excluded groups should have more of a voice in church governance.
Yet now that we see a concrete instance of hierarchs listening to what people are asking for, folks gripe about it. Those outcries for sainthood for JPII from hundreds of thousands in St. Peter's Square were real. What better basis is there for declaring someone a saint than (to not coin a phrase) to let the people decide?
I remember a Commonweal editorial, probably from the days of Margaret's stewardship, whose title was, iirc, "Pio NoNo". It argued against the canonization of Pius IX, in part because there was pretty much no evidence of an actual cultus - an actual popular following. So to summarize, we exclude one guy from the canon of saints because too few people love him, and we exclude another guy from the same canon because ... too many people love him? I take it that the only people who should be declared saints are when *the right* people love him?
Btw, I find the assertion that JPII "tried to erase" the Second Vatican Council, pretty amazing. What are some concrete instances of his trying to undo Vatican II? I've always thought that the key to understanding his pontificate was that he tried to implement Vatican II.
Jim P - "....he tried to implement VII....."
The histories on this have yet to be written and you can find folks across a broad continuum. But, allow me to list a few things that historians will eventually weigh:
(VII laid out principles but not the actual step by step directives, action plans, etc)
- Collegiality/Subsidiarity - VII proposed that episcopal conferences be empowered to make decisions about their local affairs e.g. liturgy, pastoral guidelines, etc. (JPII never allowed this; in fact, read Pastor Bonum and you see that he continued to solidify and centralize power in the curia/Vatican
- Synods - Paul VI idea flowing from VII. JPII allowed the curia to gut this idea - they were carefully controlled, limited, etc. and became mere mouthpieces for curial policies
- Liturgy - would agree that he did not undo but by the late 1990s, he had appointed or allowed curial folks to turn back the clock e.g. Liturgicam Authenticam; disbanding ICEL, Vox Clara, at least two CDW heads who had no liturigical training, and overriding episcopal conferences on liturgical decisions (effectively squashing any type of VII enculturations)
- Curia - probably his greatest failure along with sexual abuse. Historians will probably show that he ignored the curia; appointed men who were ambitious, careerists, clericalists (key was loyalty and his orthodoxy litmus test rather than strong, spiritual, pastoral leaders). This resulted in appointments of bishops around the world who implemented VII per their own ideologies, partisan biases, etc. We continue to suffer from this trend.
- Sexual abuse - okay, separate from the question about VII implementation
- 1983 Canon Law Revision - he really did not have much to do with this but this revision did not always produce canons that reflected what the council fathers and the VII principles laid out
- Significant loss of catholics and participation - okay, again, probably separate from VII implementation but another area that gets overlooked... something happened during his exceedlingly long papacy resulting in millions leaving the church. Think that historians will analyze and draw insights that connect failure to implement VII to this pattern (compare to the current reaction to Francis....JPII drew millions to his world jaunts but they were one time supershows that appeared to have little impact on the local churches or appealed to a small minority of catholics.
- Ecumenism - think that you can make an argument for fulfilling VII goals
- Interface with the world - think that historians will judge this as implementing VII but also as a mixed bag e.g. fall of communism; clearly addressing bio-ethical questions; world finances; supporting the disadvantaged; addressing a culture of death and individualism. OTOH, he too often reacted poorly to regional initiatives - liberation theology; theologians working on the edges with gender, sexual ethics issues, etc.
I wonder if the phrase - let the people decide - is just a truism that covers over lots of things. Yes, folks in the emotions of JPII's death, screamed for sainthood. But, at least until JPII changed the process, sainthood, by design, was a slow process that took hundreds of years resulting in careful analysis, histories, knowledge, and a balanced approach (yes, realize that you can find exceptions to this).What we see now is that lots of folks did not call for his immediate sainthood (they just didn't happen to be in Rome). Can think of one other glaring problem with this truism - the dogma of Mary's assumption. Per history, this originated from the people and eventually was pronounced (behind the scenes, many scripture scholars, theologians, and some bishops questionned the wisdom of this dogmatic pronouncement and its impact on ecumenism and subesquent to modern scriptural exegesis/research methods)
Thanks Bill for documenting the roll back so completely. We need to remember, too, that since 1981 JPII was aided and abetted by Josef Ratzinger, who then aggressively pursued the undoing of Vatican II when he succeeded JPII.
We were always taught that the Church's teachings that carried the most weight were those of the Extraordinary Magisterium, of which the Pope gathered with the bishops in council forms one part. I find it remarkable that two Popes working in tandem could have done so much to undermine Vatican II. Thank God that Francis is getting us back on track.
- Ecumenism - think that you can make an argument for fulfilling VII goals
Can I nominate this for understatement of the year?
Mark - think that you will find experts on both sides of this evaluation. JPII accomplished some dramatic, public gestures......but, the proof is in the structures and movement towards understanding.
But, compared to Benedict, yes, JPII was miles ahead. Benedict approached the issue as if it was a theological debate and was too concerned with sparsing theological terms to protect the institution.
Thanks, Alan......guess the tension between papal power and councils have been going on since well before Trent with no resolution...the pendulum appears to swing from one side to the other.
My issues with Benedict have to do with his self-appointment as theologian of the church and of VII...thus, we, the church, have had to endure Benedict's biased and skewed re-interpretation of VII (which, to be charitable, was not the mainstream. Couple that with his role as CDF/Pope and you have a dangerous combination which sidelined episcopal conferences. (you also had a man who spent almost his whole career in Rome - his stint as a local bishop was so short that I doubt he learned much from the experience). Finally, Benedict appears to have conceded power to the curia and stepped aside when confontation happened.....what does it say when most of your time is spent isolated and writing your own personal works. Don't think that historians will be very generous to him nor that they will see his tentative steps to manage abuse as significant.
Bill deHass,
You hit the nail on the head with Benedict. He desperatly wanted to be Pope and orchestrated his election. I think Bergolio was supposed to be Pope in 2005, but he was out maneuvered by Benedict. As when he was a professor and the student turmoil kicked up, he left the papacy when the turmoil in the curia became too much for him to handle. He is a quitter at heart, and thank God for that becuse otherwise we might not have Pope Francis. Historians will not be kind to Benedict or JPII, with his empowerment of the Legionaries and Maciel. He may become a saint, but his sainthood will not be equivalent to that of his betters in the history of the Church. Francis is canonizing him bot because he jumped on the santo subito bandwagon, but because it is a way to get his preffered choice, John XXIII canonized. JPII's canonization is cheapened by this fact.
I'm not sure that the reasons for the coupled canonization on 27 April next are all that neat. I believe that Francis is an ardent, not reluctant, advocate of the canonization of John Paul II, the pope who named him auxiliary bishop, archbishop, and cardinal priest of the titular church of San Roberto Bellarmino on 21 February 2001. I realize that the Pope's schedule is very full, especially in the Easter season, and that cost is also a factor. But I fail to understand (a euphemism) why John XXIII was not given his own day, for example, 1 June, two days before his day of death. Yes, this is the Solemnity of the Ascension in most countries, including Italy, but not in Vatican City, where since the Ascension is not transferred to Sunday, 1 June is the Seventh Sunday of Easter.
--- --- ---
There is evidence that the cries of "santo subito" on the day of Pope John Paul II's funeral were orchestrated by certain groups. A local cultus, perhaps. Universal? Dubious. There is stronger evidence for a universal cultus in respect to Archbishop Romero, and yet his cause waits in the wings, not eight years after his death, but thirty-three.
--- --- ---
Since the establisment after the Council of the Congregation for Divine Worship, as the successor to the Congregation of Rites, none of the nine Cardinal Prefects has had a background in liturgy. I was present at a meeting at the CDW in 1981 when the then Prefect, Archbishop (later Cardinal) Giuseppe Casoria, announced at the outset of the meeting that he would remain silent during the discussions since he had no expertise in the liturgical field. Before his appointment as Prefect of CDW some months before, Archbishop Casoria had spent many years in the Congregation of the Causes of the Saints (formerly a section of the Congregation of Rites).
Bill - thanks for that wide-ranging comment in response to mine. I don't have major areas of disagreement with anything you wrote. I'll stipulate that not everything that has happened since VII has beeen for the best, and a lot of what has happened since the Council happened on JPII's watch, as it spanned three decades, i.e. most of the postConciliar period to this point.
My own view is that the Council, for the most part and of necessity, gave general guidelines, and left it to the church (including the Curia) to implement those guidelines. Under Paul VI, under JPII, and we hope now under Francis, the church seems to have made a good faith effort to stay aligned with the Council. But that is not to say that everything always has pointed in the same direction, as general guidelines are amenable to a number of possible implementations. I certainly understand that some of the things that happened during JPII's pontificate, such as Liturgiam Authenticam, rankle. I'm sure Comme le prevoit rankled some people as well. There is no pleasing everyone.
All these things still leave us a very long way from the claim that JPII 'tried to roll back Vatican II'. I think the most that can be said is that he looked at some things that were started by Paul VI (pursuant to Vatican II), thought they weren't going well, and tried something different (also pursuant to Vatican II). Francis now gets his turn to bat, and he certainly has the same prerogative to fix what needs fixing, and the indications are that he will do so. My expectation is that whatever Francis does will still fall within those guidelines given to us by Vatican II.

The 6 Characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome
5 of 7
Cognitive Issues
Mindblindness, or the inability to make inferences about what another person is thinking, is a core disability for those with Asperger's syndrome. Because of this, they have difficulty empathizing with others, and will often say what they think without considering another's feelings. The child will often assume that everyone is thinking the same thing he is. For him, the world exists not in shades of gray, but only in black and white. This rigidity in thought (lack of cognitive flexibility) interferes with problem solving, mental planning, impulse control, flexibility in thoughts and actions, and the ability to stay focused on a task until completion. The rigidity also makes it difficult for an Asperger child to engage in imaginative play. His interest in play materials, themes, and choices will be narrow, and he will attempt to control the play situation.
Use this printable checklist to determine your child's cognitive skills.
