A Secret Report to the Pope
This much is confirmed: Pope Benedict XVI received a secret report from a commission consisting of three cardinals he had appointed to investigate the leak of confidential Vatican documents. "The commission has done its work," a spokesman for the Vatican said. Did the contents of that report so dishearten Benedict that he decided to renounce the papacy? The Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, responded this way to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica when it made this connection: "We are not running after all the speculation or the fantasies or the opinions that are being expressed on this issue." And, he said, the three cardinals had agreed not to give out any information. (Translation improvements gratefully accepted.) So, as we used to say in the press room, the lid is on.To say the least, this report sounds intriguing. As Inside the Vatican Editor Robert Moynihan put it in his email newsletter, "Today a veil of secrecy was shredded in this eternal city." But what it means is unclear for, as Moynihan wrote, "It is a story that in many ways seems the plot of a novel."In a story on the report, La Repubblica quoted a source who said it describes violations of the sixth and seventh commandments - allegations of homosexuality and theft - involving a supposed scheme by outsiders to gain influence within the Vatican by blackmailing officials who are gay. The report was said to have been written by three cardinals - Salvatore De Giorgi, Julian Herranz, and Josef Tomko. (All are over 80, too old to vote in the upcoming conclave.)The story isn't on a very strong foundation; it's based on an unidentified source's recounting of a few portions of the report rather than on the report itself. It follows an article in the Italian magazine Panorama by a noted writer on the Vatican, Ignazio Ingrao, who wrote that the report mapped out a who's who of Vatican infighting. Ingrao also has been quoted as saying that La Repubblica misrepresented his scoop to make the pope look bad. Nonetheless, Ingrao predicts that the report will weigh on the minds of the cardinals during the conclave.It's hard to know what to make of all this. The news story could well have some accurate facts about what's in the report but still be terribly exaggerated. To say that the report drove Benedict to resign likely oversimplifies the situation, as David Gibson notes. But as long as there is no official account from the Holy See about the contents of the report, unofficial and perhaps highly biased versions of what's in it will fill the void, perhaps as a result of tips circulated by competing factions within the Vatican. The impulse to secrecy won't work now, any better than it did when the Vatileaks scandal broke.It looks as if Pope Benedict was serious about finding out the truth. The next pope will decide whether to let the faithful in on it.Update: The Vatican's Secretariat of State issued a statement Saturday lamenting that unverified or even false news reports are circulating. The statement viewed the news reports as part of an attempt to influence the way cardinals vote in the upcoming conclave, saying that much as state authorities once tried to apply pressure to the process of selecting a pope, now public opinion is being used.Interessante.

There has to be a growing, gnawing consciousness that B16s resignation maybe little more than Ratzinger orchestrating his exit without the door hitting him on his [b _ _ k s _ _ e] on the way out.It does no good to minimize the damage this man's leadership has brought to the church. As Andrew Sullivan wrote in his blog, we can all regret "The Lost Promise of Joseph Ratzinger."
Why is this report being released only to those attending the conclave? How sanitized might it be? Will the full unexpurgate contents be released to the entire church and then let the chips fall where they may?Can we really expect the possibly criminally complicit to actually take the corrective actions necessary? Will the next pope have the integrity and cojones to do what needs to be done?
I didn't intend to imply that those attending the conclave will necessarily see the report. Wish I knew the answer to the other questions.
Here is John Allen's preliminary take:http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/thoughts-vaticans-gay-lobby
When you don't tell the truth, you are subject to continual embarrassment. The truth shall set you free. Rome has never believed this.
No doubt Benedict knew there are homosexuals in the Vatican. But if one of them was someone whom he trusted, and that one managed to deceive him, then that would probably hit him very hard, as did the butler episode. Sad to reach his age and be duped in a major way, if that is what happened.Poor man, whatever the story or non-story.
I read somewhere that there is only one copy of the report, that it is under lock and key, and only the new pope will get it.
"I read somewhere that there is only one copy of the report, that it is under lock and key, and only the new pope will get it"Now that the 3 secrets of Fatima are all public, we need a new mystery anyway.And I think its fine if there are some gay Italian Cardinals; I would have no problem with one of then becoming the next Pope.
'There is nothing concealed that will not be known, but if we can slow walk it until Judgment Day it won't come back to bite us on our pomposity." -- Luke 12:2 in the Lombardi translation
Robert Moynihan's next letter in The Moynihan Report explains why he wrote publicly about the very scantily substantiated LaRepubblica article. He was immediately criticized for it, but defends it well, I think. Go to the Letter #19, "Stop" at this address:http://moynihanreport.itvworking.com/
Here is what is done when you want to throw off the real reason for a resignation. You reveal three new facts that will get the media dogs going off in the wrong direction. You reveal a hit in the head in Mexico, then reveal a blindness in one eye, and then reveal about a two year old pacemaker. That should get the media hounds running away from any dossier. Say hello to KGB, CIA, Mossad.
"I read somewhere that there is only one copy of the report, that it is under lock and key, and only the new pope will get it."If it was written on a computer that is connected to a network, it's likely that it has been saved, emailed and/or backed up.Of course, given the Vatican's reputation for technical prowess, it might have been written with a goose quill and a bottle of ink.
"If it was written on a computer that is connected to a network, its likely that it has been saved, emailed and/or backed up."Or hacked. There must be people all over the world trying to break into the Vatican. Not for profit or national security or any reason other than pure malicious fun.
I have to agree with the Irish Times reporter Paddy Agnew. If there is a gay lobby in the Vatican, they have to be the most unsuccessful lobby ever.
Tomorrow's second reading to the Philippians' For many, as I often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of Christ..... Their minds are occupied with earthly things'I think 'earthly things' was the wording used in the dossier.
Esquire, today, brings some perspective:..."..What gives me a little pause is that the "secret gay cabal" theory is an old favorite among those curial powerbrokers for whom Machiavelli was something of a wimp. It also has been a regular trope of conservative Catholics seeking to defend the institutional Church's inexcusable behavior in the face of the sexual abuse scandal, largely through the rancid technique of implying that being gay and being a pedophile are so closely allied that the former have a reason for covering up for the latter. It also is an old-line reactionary conspiracy theory beloved of, among other people, the late crackpot Malachi Martin.The report under discussion comes from within the highest levels of the Vatican bureaucracy, from the clerics charged with investigating the "VatiLeaks" scandal wherein the pope's butler. There's a helluva lot more in the VatiLeaks documents than sins of the flesh. There's a whole rat's nest of bribery, nepotism, influence peddling and many other things not unfamiliar to those of us who have covered the state government here in the Commonwealth (God save it!). However, I think having someone take a bribe so that a Mafia chief can be buried next to a pope is a whole new level of grifting, at least in my experience. What better way to distract the world's attention from the fact that the entire Vatican bureaucracy is corrupt and should be broken into tiny pieces and tossed into the Tiber than to leak a report about a gay cabal, especially given that a good piece of your Catholic laity is predisposed to believe it anyway? Again, not saying the leak isn't true, it's just that, in the Vatican, there are always wheels within wheels."
All of this can be simultaneously true:Priests along with senior members of the Vatican bureaucracy were involved in sexual misconduct with prostitutes (doesn't matter if it is homosexual or heterosexual it is violation of their vows and public responsibilities). They are being blackmailed by these prostitutes and are therefore in a compromised position.Priest along with senior members of the Vatican bureaucracy are involved in theft, embezzlement and misappropriation of funds through the Vatican bank.Priests along with senior members of the Vatican bureaucracy are involved in accepting bribes and simony.Pope Benedict may have not only heard rumors and innuendo but was aware of a lot of smoke through his work at the CDF. He wanted a complete briefing. He, and his successor, now has that.That may have not precipitated his resignation but I think that he is aware that significant reform needs to occur internally. He is by temperament, age, and energy not in a position to address these issues but he understands that they are a priority and are not something that is going to disappear overnight or even in a few years. Added to this there are other broader issues involving the relevance of faith in today's age and the mission of the Church in terms of clear teaching that is important. He alluded to all of this in his resignation.One thing is clear, the cardinals are now aware that the public is aware of it as well. This should factor in their choice of a leader assuming that it is not the senior cardinals themselves who are involved.At any rate, now is the time to start thinking of the greater good of the church which is more important than their personal reputations or ambitions.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2012/05_06/2012_06_21_TheChiesa...(Just a little background on Herranz.)
George D has it about right except his constant mention of priests doing this and that. I say it is higher ranking prelates and BXVI favorites who may be involved. Lower level clerics and butlers can be thrown under buses with impunity. The Pope does not want the dirty job of outing and dismissing his fair haired protgs so he resigns and then they put out the medical excuses. Already one complainer was sent to the US nuncio job and the other to Malta which is farther than DC. There are no whistle blower places left.
A few days ago the BBC (broadcast over NPR) did an hour long program on of Benedict's legacy, his resignation, and what it meant for the future. The story was no better and no worse than you'd expect. Besides sex, there was also some talk of the checkered history of the Vatican bank and its real or imagined money laundering. But I was particularly struck by the answers given by a couple of third-world cardinals to the Beeb's speculation that a Third World pope might be in the offing. They pointed out (quite correctly) that the pope is the head of the whole Church, and we should not see someone being chosen simply to satisfy particular constituencies. What was incorrect was the suggestion that, guided by the Holy Spirit, conclaves thereupon chose the right man, regardless of nationality. Another example of Church leaders blaming the Lord for human failings. And, good or bad, never mind that from the death of Adrian VI in 1523 to the election of John Paul II, the Spirit's favor, strangely enough, always rested on an Italian). Do you suppose if the Canadian Marc Ouellet is elected, restaurants in Rome will start serving Poutine, that French-Canadian favorite? For those who don't know the dish (potatoes, gravy, and cheese) here's a definition from the Web:"Poutine is Acadian slang for mushy mess and is best described as a heart attack in a bowl."But there are many who love it.
I wonder if Marc's Quebec French is peppered with sacres:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity#List_of_common_sacres
Oh, a "secret gay lobby" blackmails who-knows-how-high ranking Vatican officials? Hmmm...First, any gay curial folk are blackmail-able only because of anti-gay teachings of the Church they themselves have either promulgated or remained silent about. I seriously doubt that heterosexual dalliances would raise any eyebrows in Rome, even in Vatican City. And obviously this need not be a "gay lobby." It would be a "greed lobby," people looking to profit on the gay hook-ups of vatican officials. If a lobby wanted to change Church teaching on homosexuality, they wouldn't blackmail these guys, they'd out them. OK, let's raise the heterosexual ante, and infer that high-ranking curial officials are cavorting with prostitutes, which probably would be enough to gin up a little blackmail. Why, then, are men who proclaim what a gift celibacy is to the Church, (and identify themselves as having that gift,) desirous of prostitutes anyway? Do they have this celibacy-gift or not? I will put in separate categories those who are regular customers and those who may have misbehaved once or twice, or in compromising circumstances (depression, etc.)In sum--if there's blackmail going on, the marks can be blackmailed basically because they have not been courageous enough to start a real conversation about sexual mores in the Church. Whether it's the teaching on homosexual relationships or celibacy, something's not right in these men's lives. (And yes, I'd say the same for married men who visit prostitutes regularly.) The best thing that could happen, imho, is for the whole lot of them, gay, straight or ambidextrous, simply to be outed. Generally I oppose involuntary outing of people, but these guys teach one thing and furtively live another. Out, out!! Let them speak for themselves in the light of day.
maybe this is the "outing" Lisa calls for: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/02/23/breaking-news-male-priests-accuse-a...
note that there is no human adult whose behavior has never been construable as inappropriate
there is no human adult whose behavior has never been construable as inappropriate
Perhaps. But in those instances there can be a public discussion of that and a decision made. For example, some female colleagues made a video in which another male colleague (not me) had "hot, hot, hot" superimposed. Granted, it was an inside joke but before it was made more public we had a a public conversation on how that could be construed. It got in to discussions about sexualizing people and whether if the tables were turned there would not be a different reaction, etc.Not saying the behaviour was inappropriate but it could certainly have been construed that way. However, we could have a discussion.There is a far cry from that and sneaking into a hotel room and seeing a prostitute or otherwise doing something that is, in fact, inappropriate. Obviously, when that happens people want it to be concealed. And people will go to pretty extreme lengths to conceal things even consensual affairs.When the Patreus scandal broke, I heard on intelligence person say that, within the intelligence community, it is a well known fact that people will succumb to blackmail and do a lot of things to conceal an affair. When you add on the added scandal of bishops and priests engaged in such conduct, then it is amplified. Loss of moral authority, loss of reputation, loss of character. A politician may be able to get away with this kind of conduct (and I say MAY consider Patreus, Strauss- Kahn, et al.) but religious are held to higher standards.
It seems to me that one moral issue in all of this that has not been gone into is whether or not it is moral to inquire into such behavior or listen to claims that there has been such behavior. According to what I was taught as a child we should always think the best possible of others. However, if the sex scandal has taught us anything, it's that sometimes we *must* look into possibly bad behavior, and if told about it we must not ignore it. Labelling such reports "gossip" as one of the Vatican cardinals did just won't do any more.
"saying that much as state authorities once tried to apply pressure to the process of selecting a pope, now public opinion is being used.Interessante."E vero, no doubt. Gossip. Just a bigger back fence.
I'm not sure there's be much gossip if there hadn't already been evidence of a lot of concealed wrongdoing ... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/22/priests-in-panties.htmlThe latest disturbing thing about the coming conclave - Cardinal O'Brien, one of those voting, has been accused of sexual misconduct by some priests - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/23/cardinal-keith-o-brien-accus...
If I'm not mistaken, the Vatican has not yet denied that the main points are true. Also, one of the accused, an important diplomat named Baldesero (sp?) has suddenl been sent to Columbia as nuncio (and been made a bishop). Looks like the same ole same ole to me.
If theVatican doesn't get a new bat that can swat away the centuries of pomposity I'm afraid the 'smaller sillier' predictions will come true. The strike out has been , the Reformation, the 19th century openings to democracy, Vatican II . Go for an Asian Pope.., they gave us Gandhi, Dali Lama, Buhhda....The HS is giving us 4 strikes this time, so even a small base hit might save the Church. The three Virtues needed are simplicity, simplicity and simplicity
"The conclave is a mechanism that serves to create a dynasty in a monarchy without children, so it's a complicated operation," said Alberto Melloni, the director of the John XXIII Center in Bologna and author of a book on conclaves.The voting rules for the conclave require a candidate securing an uncontested majority, so any effort to undermine rivals is "part of the great game of the conclave, whose tools include political attacks and efforts to condition consensus," Melloni added.http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/world/europe/shadows-accompany-gatheri...
This story has gone viral. Raises the bar all over the place. Benedict keeps making moves. Will he share the meeting with the three cardinals? Who leaked it? Who put the pressure on. On Whom was the pressure put???? A conclave to boot. When we thought we heard everything.
"in those instances there can be a public discussion of that and a decision made." I think most "inappropriate" behavior happens in private (not in public professional roles) and I was criticizing the puritanical ideology of total transparency, of outing everyone all the time.Plato thought it was a mark of ill-breeding to remember and recount things people said or did when drunk.
With regard to the "update," blaming the media in this case amounts to blaming the messenger.
Readers of David Berger's Der heilige Schein will not be surprised by these Vatican leaks. The campy rightist Catholic world that book explores is just the kind of milieu that would have blackmailable indiscretions at its fringes. All the groupuscules Berger describes have hosted lectures by Cardinal Ratzinger, whose conservative piety and cut and dried notions of orthodoxy make him feel far more at home among them than with mature Catholic theologians.
The gay panic could also facilitate some sort of Opus Dei power grab, since they pose as an incorrupt order, able to purge the Vatican's Augean stables.As to Cardinal O'Brien, he could sue his accusers, who should have made their allegations 30 years ago, to the relevant authorities, if there is any substance in them.
From the holySeee Press Office:"The Holy Father received in audience this morning Cardinals Julian Herranz, Jozef Tomko, and Salvatore De Giorgi, who formed the commission to investigate the leaks of private information. They were accompanied by the commissions secretary, Fr. Luigi Martignani, O.F.M., Cap.At the conclusion of their mission, the Holy Father thanked them for the helpful work they did, and expressed satisfaction for the results of the investigation. Their work made it possible to detect, given the limitations and imperfections of the human factor of every institution, the generosity and dedication of those who work with uprightness and generosity in the Holy See at the service of the mission entrusted by Christ to the Roman Pontiff.The Holy Father has decided that the acts of this investigation, known only to himself, remain solely at the disposition of the new pope."
This whole flapdoodle will be used by people who don't get the pope they want from the coming conclave to cry "the fix was in" and discredit the winner. I would advise the cardinals not to vote for anyone who refuses to produce his Hawaiian birth certificate, but even that may not be enough.
Tom Blackburn aka Donald Trump.
The latest bulletin in the pre-conclave mess: Cardinal O'Brien of Scotland resigned before the accusations of sexual misconduct were made against him. He will not attend the conclave. This will leave the British without representation.Needed digression: Fr. Emil Kapuan, an infantry chaplain in the Korean War, will be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery. He has also been nominated for sainthood. He certainly sounds like a saint.http://www.kansas.com/2013/02/22/2686937/father-kapaun-to-be-awarded-med...
The resignation and the allegations against Cardinal O'Brien are huge news. Perhaps one of the Commonweal posters will put something up soon.
Poor Roger "the Artful Dodger" Mahony - he can't cut a break! The modern day "Thane of Cawdor" Scottish Cardinal Sean O'Brien apparently has done what MacBeth wouldn't: eschewed his driving ambitions in the face of scandal and intrigue. Not such a happy camper in Glamis these days. The Bard, as usual, has some pertinent sentiments:"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing." (Macbeth V, i v, ii 19-28)In the wake of these salacious developments in Scotland, the political pressure will now only build for Mahony to also resign from the conclave. There must be a boat-load of cardinals who have some skeletons rattling around in their closets - no pun intended. It makes sense that if you wanted to diminish the pool of cardinal electors who just may be ready to swing over to the "side of the Force" from the Dark side and elect someone who will have an agenda to bring at least some of the cover-up and corruption to an end, you would just make sure that some really embarrassing stories about some cardinals' proclivities are planted in the scandal voracious media?!?! Very neat and clean: No fingerprints. Very Vatican-like way to deal with a political problem.I appears that B16, the consummate inside politician, continues to engage with his opponents among the cardinals for some Vatican-style close-in knife fighting. [Doesn't seem that Ratzinger has lost all his political muscle.] We are to believe that the age-enfeebled, I-want-to-continue-to-serve-the-church-from-the-safety-of-a-Vatican-monastery Ratzinger can't keep up with the weasels among the cardinals? Au contraire!If news reports are to be believe, Ratzinger has just changed the papal election rules by allowing the cardinals who will pick his successor to gather in conclave sooner, rather than later. [Custom and canon law apparently mandates a 15 day waiting period after sede vacant.] The net effect of such a power political move is to enable Ratzinger's buddies in the curia to force the selection in the conclave of one of their own very quickly before a viable candidate from "outside Rome" can emerge - cutting off any hope for a "reformer" [if there really is such a creature among the cardinals at this time].It would appear that Ratzinger's abdication has released a whole Pandora's box of political viciousness in public that we haven't seen from the cardinals since J23rd of fond memory was elected. All this must make the curia boys really nervous because we all know how that conclave turned out: Vatican2 with its historic aggiornamento! The hierarchy has been trying to put that genie back in the bottle ever since - that was all that Ratzinger, a traitor to his own work as a peritus at the Council, has ever lived for.Is it possible that the growing, howling wind beginning to blow on the Tiber just may be the flapping of the Holy Spirit's wings?
Michaelangelo Signorile brings a certain perspective (but you knew he would, right?): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelangelo-signorile/pope-benedict-and-t...
http://www.thetablet.co.uk/latest-news/5085Latest NewsPope allows cardinals to bring forward election of his successor25 February 2013"Pope Benedict XVI has changed the rules of the conclave that will elect his successor, allowing the College of Cardinals to bring forward the start date if all the cardinal electors arrive in Rome before the usual 15-day transition between pontificates.Benedict signed a "motu proprio", which was issued today, with some changes to the conclave rules established in 1996 by Pope John Paul II governing the election of a new pope. It is one of his last acts as pope before he resigns on Thursday.The Vatican has said it wants a new pope in place by Holy Week, which starts on 24 March. Having to wait the full 15 days after Pope Benedict resigns to begin the conclave to elect his successor would put the cardinals under increased pressure.However some cardinals have said proceedings should not start early, because the change will give a distinct advantage to cardinal-electors in the Vatican and closer to Rome who have already begun strategising for possible candidates to be the next pope.I love this: The Vatican has said it wants a new pope in place by Holy Week, .. The Vatican what disembodied entity is that? Says it wants . ???I enjoy The Tablet immensely, but this disinterested (right!) third party obfuscation is not up to their usual standards.
Here is a news report on Cardinal O'Brien's resignation: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732338460457832575015954740...
The confusion in the church is so great that it might be a good idea to delay the conclave for a few months so as to give people a chance to do some serious reflection and consultation.
The timing of the O'Brien affair suggests a successful plot to remove one undesirable voter from the list.
As to Cardinal OBrien, he could sue his accusers, who should have made their allegations 30 years ago, to the relevant authorities, if there is any substance in them.
Well, let's wait to see how it all plays out. Let the process unfold in a reasonably public fashion.Recently, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada took testimony of First Nation people who were abused in residential schools, frequently run religious orders of priests and brothers. http://www.trc.ca/websites/trcinstitution/index.php?p=3These are not witch hunts. These are responsible, orderly commissions whose aim is truth and reconciliation. I, personally, know of one woman who is in her 80's and testified. My wife typed up her testimony. She is, and remains, a devout Catholic and is supported by the priest and community as well as many others. I am glad that the priests, deacons, and lay people that we are connected with are not hyper-defensive about the whole process. As someone who has accompanied a few woman in their legal journey of charging their stepfathers with sexual abuse stemming 15 - 20 years ago, I can assure you that full standards of proof beyond a reasonable doubt needs to be presented even in older cases.What occurs is this. The accuser lays out a full timeline of time, dates, and events in as specific detail as possible. This includes where the event(s) occurred and contemporaneous witnesses, if not to the event, to the fact that the person may have confided this to them at the time. These people are then contacted by the police and asked to make a statement.Additionally, the accuser can name as many other family members who experienced similar things (rarely is it just one). These people, too, make statements. Again, the statements have to be as complete as possible and this means explaining how and where they were touched (in detail). What was said, etc.Once all of this information has been compiled, a charge is laid and the accused has the opportunity to rebut any claim. Following that process, the complete criminal process unfolds.Not every case merits charges due to thin evidence (which does not mean that the event did not occur).Removal of statute of limitations, which we have in Canada, is important for justice to take place.
PSTherefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. (Luke 12:3)
The pope really has done nothing about O'Brien. O'Brien was already slated to retire next month, and according to the Vatican, he could still vote in the conclave, although he seems to have decided himself that he won't now.
There seem to be several parallels between the O'Brien affair and the Rembert Weakland affair - including, iirc from the earlier case, the device of accepting an already-proferred resignation.
We all know that O'Brien's suggestion that the new pope might consider removing mandatory celibacy from the priesthood of the Latin Rite had absolutely nothing to do with the unveiling of this story.I am far from a fan of Keith O'Brien, but I am not stupid enough to think that certain entrenched reprobates in high places didn't pull out this trump card in time to "persuade" him to fast and abstain from the conclave. (Well, it IS Lent, isn't it?)It's time to consider the sweet smell of love and the stench of greed (John 12:1-8)
RSN takes a more humane look at the O'Brien affair than most reports have done. http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/295-164/16218-focus-cardinal-obr...
According to the reports, the participants in O'Brien's affairs were not willing. They were coerced, so it seems, and were in an unequal power relationship.It is not like he was drinking with peers and one thing led to another. These were not his peers. Big difference.More like Maciel lite but Maciel nonetheless.
"Following that process, the complete criminal process unfolds."The Cardinal is accused of "inappropriate" behavior, not criminal behavior.
"Inappropriate" activities of a "worldly nature"...whatever the term we want to apply. The larger point is that he won't be participating in the conclave and his fate can be left to whatever, hopefully, fair process that is appropriate to get to the truth of the matter and arrive at a fair resolution.Now if only Roger Mahony would reconsider. His enablers....er colleagues....are unlikely to lean on him but perhaps he too can consider the greater good of the Church as a whole.

Kyle Hirst Scores Speedweek Northwest Round Five At CGS On Independence Day
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Malcolm White Photography)
Two things are guaranteed when Sprint Cars visit Cottage Grove Speedway, good car counts and great racing. Both would be on tap Friday July 4th for the fifth race of Speedweek Northwest as the American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Region got back to racing after a night off. A total of thirty-six cars were on hand, the most so far during Speedweek, representing the states of Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Arizona in addition to the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia as well as the Southland region of New Zealand.
When the main event would begin Logan Forler was a man on a mission. Originally from Orting, Washington, but now living in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Forler would master the high side of the race track in his Steve Forler Trucking/P.G.H. Excavating/Lucas Oil Products #2L Maxim. But as the race went along Forler would enter some heavy lapped traffic with about ten laps to go.
While negotiating some of the back of the pack Chico, California's Kyle Hirst would make some key moves in traffic to seize the lead on lap twenty-six. Forler would go elbows up to try and run Hirst down but Hirst would beat Forler to the line on the last lap. It would mark the third win of this year's Speedweek Northwest for Hirst and the Finley Farms/CLT Logging/Carlson Trucking/Rider Racing Engines #77 Maxim team owned by Scott and Jason Finley. It marked Hirst's fourth career Speedweek win of his career, fifth ASCS-Northwest Region win with the series, and the first time ever visiting victory lane at CGS.
"This feels great, I love running this place," stated a very happy Kyle Hirst, "I had a lot of fun driving this thing. I just got going there and my guys gave me a great car tonight. We'll go out and do it again tomorrow."
Logan Forler would be a respectable second followed by the Clyde and Marion Lamar owned Tri-C Machine/Butler Built Seats/Platinum Powdercoating/K&N Filters #3C Maxim entry driven by Chico, California ace Jonathan Allard. The balance of the top five would consist of Hanford, California youngster Mitchell Faccinto in the Stan Greenberg owned Western Metal Company/TSG Recycling & Disposal/Reitz Racing Engines #37 KPC in fourth while fifth place went to the Kovash Logging/Johansen Excavating/FK Shocks/Big Al Kids and Motorsports Foundation #33v A.R.T. of Henry Van Dam from Enumclaw, Washington.
Five heat races were contested with the winners being Henry Van Dam, the Snohomish Auto Parts/Ridge Runner Wings/Shaver Specialties #12 XXX of Jared Ridge out of Snohomish, Washington, Logan Forler, Salem's Kyle Miller piloting his Automotive Sheetmetal/K&S Motorsports/Gary's Subaru Service/R&M Recycling #10 XXX, and the Hedge Carter owned Huddle Automotive Repair/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply/Oregon West RV/Hedge Carter Gutter Service/Astro Titanium #71 XXX of Cottage Grove native Colin Baker.
Two consolation features were ran with the winners being Snohomish, Washington driver Reece Goetz in his Great Western Transport/Elma Lanes/Speedmart Inc./Wesmar Racing Engines #9R Eagle and Shane Forté from Junction City in the Oregon Fuel Injection/Guaranty Chevrolet/Lochmead Farms/Grant Springer Racing Engines/Davis Cabinets #26F Maxim.
The ASCS-Northwest Region has just one more event left of Speedweek Northwest as they will return to Cottage Grove Speedway on Saturday July 5th with Welt & Welt Inc. again presenting the action. Pit Gates will open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates open at 4:00, and Racing starts at 6:45. Ticket prices are Adults $15.00, Seniors/Military/Juniors (13-17) $13.00, Youths (Ages 12-6) $8.00, and Children under the age of 5 are FREE. For more information visit www.ascsnorthwest.com.

Re: Upgrading Memory with HP SR2172NX - Problems!
What about CAS latency differences? It was difficult to find an OEM Hynix RAM so I have a different stick (Crucial RAM). A guy I talked to says different CAS latencies sometimes cause problems, where only slot 1 will register if the CAS's between the 2 sticks are different. I'm sure my 2 sticks have different CAS.
I guess I will try to find 2 matching PC2 4200U 1GB sticks. Note that I purchased a Kingston DDR2 1GB stick today at Frys and machine will not start with it individually or as a pair. I suspect CAS is out of whack. Investigation continues.
Re: Upgrading Memory
So I ordered another Crucial 1GB RAM PC. I will try these as a pair as I have one already. This is the exact part number and same component. I can't find the original Hynix OEM except on ebay for $50.
1GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 memory module
Module Size: 1GB
Package: 240-pin DIMM
Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 128Meg x 64
Unfortunate that this SR2172 machine is designed this way to have these tight tolerances.
Re: Upgrading Memory
My guess is that your new stick will not work based on gohokies previous replies. Since it will message @ 4200 anyway, I still think you should try to find 4200 DIMMS. Local computer shops might have some used at decent prices. CAS latency is more about trying to squeak performance on high end machines and it's more of a data race to the next clock cycle on the system bus. I haven't seen where it has caused compatibility issues before - but hey - this one is a mystery - maybe.
Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.
Re: Upgrading Memory
Re: Upgrading Memory
Re: CAS mismatches, the tech at the Omax store I went to said he's been building computers for quite some time, and he only saw this memory problem with mismatched CAS, where slot 2 is not recognized. I will run exactly the same Crucial RAM in both slots and then see the results. If they don't work (and btw they are recommended for this machine), both go back to Crucial. Will let you know when it arrives and I try it, probably Saturday at this point.
Re: Upgrading Memory
Re: Upgrading Memory
Crucial site says this RAM should work. I wonder what we are all missing here? I looked in my BIOS and couldn't find anything to say "if 2 sticks of RAM are present with similar tolerances use them both on startup for a total of 2GB". If my 2nd matching stick of Crucial RAM arrives and they don't work as a pair I will be calling Crucial to see if they have any insight into this issue.

Re: Upgrading Memory
I searched for some PC2-4200 DIMMS this weekend and couldn't locate one. I did call Crucial today and they told me that the ATI chip set on our board won't support high density (e.g. Crucial 5300 memory) and low density (e.g. the 1GB memory module that came with the SR2172NX) chips together. So he thought my choice is to either track down 4200 memory (Crucial doesn't sell any more) or to pair two 5300 high denisty modules. My only hesitation in getting two 5300 modules is that I had bought a Kingston KVR667D2/1GR Value RAM and it did not get recognized when paired with the Crucial RAM (I'm assuming they are both high density but am not 100% certain).
HP_SR2172NX - did you ever get two of the same modules working together in your SR2172NX? I did just notice the specs you copied in your last post say they are 200-pin DIMMs which will not work in the 240-pin slots of the SR2172NX. What I see from Crucial is part # CT663717.
Re: Upgrading Memory
Hello, and I should have posted the good news last night.
I purchased a 2nd exact match from crucial (1GB 240-PIN DIMM 128Mx64 DDR2 PC2-5300 UNBUFF: CT12864AA667.8FE) and fired up my SR2172NX, the machine *DOES* recognize the 2GB of RAM and it is working fine.
I have 2 matched sets of Crucial RAM (2 1GB sticks of RAM), exact part number CT12864AA667.8FE, my machine is now running much better and not swapping constantly anymore (Vista is a dog on RAM, almost 800 MB RAM consumed at IDLE).
btw, my last post was for the laptop question.
Good luck.
Re: Upgrading Memory
GoHokies - if you got another CT12864AA667 from Crucial and paired it with your original Crucial RAM it should work.
That was exactly my situation, and my machine does recognize 2GB of RAM. Machine is much faster now.
My Kingston RAM that I purchased from Frys did not work at all (either single start or paired with the Crucial RAM), so it is going back today.
btw, I also have the 1GB Hynix stick of RAM PC2-4200 (is that the same RAM that you had on the OEM machine) that I am going to be selling. $20 and it is yours.

Legal and policy issues regarding the war in Iraq, the nation's economic crisis, and tactics to sell military service to high school students will be the focus of "'The Morning After': Issues Facing the Post-Election Nation," to be held on Wednesday, November 5, at Rutgers School of Law–Newark. The event, which will start at 4 pm, is sponsored by the Eric R. Neisser Public Interest Program. Under the direction of Clinical Professor Laura Cohen and Jessica Kitson, associate director for career services, the Neisser Program sponsors events for the law school community about important social justice issues and exposes students to careers in public interest advocacy.
Speakers will include Professor Frank Askin and his students in the Constitutional Litigation Clinic, which has challenged the constitutionality of the Iraq war in federal district court; Professor Anna Gelpern, an expert on debt restructuring and managing financial crises, on the state of the U.S. economy; and Clinical Professor Penny Venetis, on the new report "Targeting Youth: What Everyone Should Know About Military Recruiting in Public High Schools," prepared by her students in the Constitutional Litigation Clinic.
Following the presentations, Donita Judge '03, staff attorney with the Advancement Project's Power and Democracy team, will receive the 2008 Eric R. Neisser Public Interest Award. The award recognizes outstanding public service by a Rutgers Law School graduate who participated in the Constitutional Litigation Clinic. Judge has been a member of the Power and Democracy team since 2004 and is Advancement Project's state lead attorney covering Ohio. During law school, she served as editor of the Rutgers Race and the Law Review, was a Kinoy/Stavis Public Interest Fellow, and an NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. Earl Warren Scholar. Before joining Advancement Project, Judge was a clerk for Judge Michelle Hollar-Gregory in New Jersey Superior Court–Newark.

chips got constipation
by botaf November 11, 2003
Trending Now
The act of not being able to squeeze a terd out it is probably just as bad as having a baby, results in horrible cramps, possible infection, and even sometimes the need of having something stuck up your ass.
I once was extremely constipated and didnt poop for a week and nothing would work, no enemas, supositories, laxatives, nothing.... so what they did was bring me to the hospital, stuck a tube down my nose in to my stomach and pumped an unbelievable ammount of laaxative in to me... 4 liters. I shat for 12 hours and after all the poo was clear i shat water wow what a fun time.

I had constipation for almost a week and finally relieved myself, it felt like I gave birth out of my asshole. True story.

Worse than homework, you wanna go, but you feel as though a baby is coming out your asshole sideways. Laxatives, Metamucil, and enemas help. Enemas suck
I haven't shat in 4 days, now I have to stick jelly in my arse.

It's almost time to check off Week Three of reading for the 40-Day Bible Challenge. Whether you're reading the entire Bible or listening to an audiobible (free copies here!) during Lent, we're excited you're joining in. We never expected nearly 2000 people to download the free 40-Day Reading Guide in the first 24 hours. You can grab your copy by clicking here.
If you peek ahead at the reading guide, you'll see that next week is almost completely poetry and wisdom literature.
The pages of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs may bring some of us a sigh of relief. Not too many unpronounceable names, unknown places, or foreign laws.
Others of us may feel dread toward the strange illusions, awkward sentence structure, and bizarre language. You may ask yourself, "If this is poetry, why doesn't it rhyme?" Continue Reading...

I was hoping to get some idea about what the misfire rate for studio strobe lighting is. Meaning how often on average do your studio strobes not fire when you take a picture? My Elinchrom Style BX-500 Ri seems to exhibit this behavior once every 15 or so pictures. I am also using the SkyPort wireless sync that came with the units. I am kind of 'new' to studio lighting and I chose Elinchrom because of the color shift consistency. I have already sent one pair back to the retailer because the failure rate was 5 failures for every 7 shots (more or less).
There really shouldn't be any failures with a pro class system... Some things to think about though:
1, 2 and 4 are easily answerable. 3 can be tested by trying different group/frequency settings. Looks like a nice unit though...
I use elinchrom skyport triggers and usually I see misfires after approximately 200-300 shots without recharging the batteries.

Delicious dishes and drinks at Taste of Cape Town
Photo by Deon Gurling
Hundreds of gourmet-loving Capetonians flocked to the fourth annual Taste of Cape Town festival at the Green Point Cricket Club from Thursday 2 May to Sunday 5 May. With plenty of white-tented stalls serving the most mouth-watering dishes and beverages, there was more than enough to whet everyone's appetites.
From the tasty paella served at the Signal Restaurant at the Cape Grace stall to the irresistible milk tart milkshake served as dessert at the La Mouette stand and the delectable wines from the Thelema, Jordan and Steenberg wine estates, the festival was truly a gastronomic journey.
Bos Tea, the latest ice tea kid on the block, made sure everyone's thirst was sufficiently quenched with their delicious and unusual cocktails, while the music and ice-cold beers at the Grolsch stand were huge crowd pleasers.
Signature dishes like the ones created by Stefan Marais of Societi Bistro take considerable effort to create. That's why it was such a pleasure to see him compete against the ladies of Fresh Living magazine in a tense cook-off at the Pick n Pay Fresh Living Chef's Theatre on Thursday evening.
Hosted by über handsome actor Charles Tertiens, the cook-off required each of the competing teams to create as many dishes as they could in 30 minutes using only four key ingredients. What can one make from cabbage, leeks, venison and tiger prawns?
The teams were quite creative, but ultimately it was Stefan with his four stunning dishes, including a tasty kiwi and chocolate combo for dessert, who won the cook-off with deafening applause from the audience.
Those interested in being the ultimate cooks could try their hand at creating their own canapés at the Pick n Pay Wine and Canapé Experience and from where I stood, it looked like they were enjoying themselves.
French, Thai, Italian, African and more… it was served with flourish at the Taste of Cape Town festival. I can't wait for next year's lip-smacking event!

I have lots of pictures and videos to post when I get a chance, so I'll leave you with this darling Gracie montage! She is SO talkative and interactive!
Love and gratitude for all the prayers and gifts of every kind, including your time, energy and service!

Lord, thank You that Seth's surgery went well, but now Lord, we ask that his reflux can be alleviated. Please be with those making the decisions regarding his healthcare so that the correct decisions are made, and Seth gets to come home this week. You are faithful, Lord, and we praise Your Holy Name. Amen. NKLReplyDelete
Gracie is a doll!!
So thankful to hear Seth is still doing great And will possibly be home soon. So exciting!!! I am surprised they have not tried the anti-reflux formula already. I know they do this every day and know what they are doing, but I also feel sometimes a mother really does know best. My grandson stayed a week longer than need be, because no one would listen to my daughter. I went to the head of the NICU and he was amazed what we were asking had not been done. It was done that day and the next my grandson came home. He is seven now and a happy healthy very lively little boy happy to be in the first grade. I guarantee he will thrive at home with his family. God Bless youa ll and the pictures of Gracie are adorable.ReplyDelete
Relieved to hear Seth is doing ok. I will be praying for his reflux to end so he can go home very soon. Grace is beautiful, such an expressive pair of eyes that little one has! Bless you all....prayers continue...ReplyDelete

Marcie and David look so much alike. Love the picture of Will in his activity seat. I can identify with Grandpa and that swaddling skill. I never did master it. Maybe I'll do better in March.ReplyDelete

Enjoy everything from Bluegrass to Bach in our all-embracing music scene.
Entertaining Adventures
Taos has a music scene that belies its small town size.
Many musicians call Taos home and its energetic bars, wineries, and brew pubs bring in top notch artists and crowds from around the region. There are annual music festivals throughout the year: the Mother's Day Weekend Concert presents Spanish music; Taos Plaza Live! every Thursday evening during the summer months presents local talent; Taos Mountain Summer Music Festival in Taos Ski Valley and Music on the Rocks at Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort take music out-of-doors.
Taos has three chamber music festivals each year, presented by Taos School of Music, Taos Chamber Music Group, and Music from Angel Fire.
Come for a festival or just enjoy the nighlty music scene.
Hike, soak, dance, eat...there's an abundance of entertainment in Taos!
Choose your passion: cool jazz, folk, foot-tapping country or Texas Two-Step, we have them all and many are within walking distance of your...
From local community theater productions to live in HD streams to first run movies, Taos has many options on stage and on screen.
Fresh, imaginative and unexpected classical music is presented throughout the year by three fine organizations.
From Live from the Met in HD, to local operatic and choral performances, Taos is alive with song.

I want to find all folders within a given folder that contain no files (but folders are ok). This needs to be recursive - it looks in all child folders.
I can find folders that are completely empty using the Number if Items search criteria set to less than 1. However, this does not return folders that have other folders inside them.
I am basically trying to delete folders that had files in that I have deleted the contents from using a previous search.

Do we know if the axiom of choice is needed for Chevalley's valuation/place extension theorem (i.e. the theorem that states that for every valued field and a field extension, one can extend the valuation to the field extension)?
Do we know if the axiom of choice is needed for Chevalley's valuation/place extension theorem (i.e. the theorem that states that for every valued field and a field extension, one can extend the valuation to the field extension)?
I think this more or less answers it?
Choice is needed. For example, it is consistent with ZF that there exist an algebraic closure L of Q such that every absolute value on L is trivial (and Gal(L/Q) is trivial).
See: Hodges, Wilfrid. Läuchli's algebraic closure of $Q$. Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 79 (1976), no. 2, 289--297. MR0422022
As for the origin of "Zorn's Lemma", try
Campbell, Paul J. The origin of "Zorn's lemma''. Historia Math. 5 (1978), no. 1, 77--89. MR0462876
The following is quoted from Berrick and Keating, 2000, p26: The name of the statement [Zorn's Lemma], although widely used (allegedly first by Lefschetz), has attracted the attention of historians (Campbell 1978). As a
The MO question Artem points to is certainly relevant here, but I think it's also important to realize that the extensions of valuations studied somewhat narrowly by Krull were eventually subsumed in the much more general Chevalley extension theorem for homomorphisms. This is treated in a number of algebra books in the classical tradition, including Jacobson's Basic Algebra II (9.8) and Chapter 6 of Bourbaki's Algebre commutative. While field extensions of special types such as a simple transcendental extension might be handled more concretely, the most general extension principle formulated by Chevalley does seem to require the Axiom of Choice in the guise of Zorn's Lemma, much in the spirit of existence proofs for maximal ideals.
By the way, I think it's helpful for those asking questions to provide at least some specific references (print or online) to focus the discussion.
P.S. As Pete remarks, there is no proof offered that the Axiom of Choice is necessary here. I'm not sure how logicians view the question, but from a practical point of view I suspect most people would place the burden of proof on the other side: if you really believe AC is not needed, come up with a better proof than the existing ones. Most of us prefer constructive approaches when possible, but Chevalley's general extension theorem doesn't seem promising. The proofs I've seen all rely on Zorn's Lemma in a completely natural way, as do similar theorems in algebra. (One might even wonder whether Chevalley's theorem is equivalent to AC.)
A small question of my own: Is it true that Chevalley was a co-inventor of the label "Zorn's Lemma"? (I recall reading that somewhere, but you can't believe everything you read.)

Am I the only one who feels a compulsion to buy more USB flash drives as they come down in price?
The prices just keep getting better and better for more storage memory. Even though I already have enough (too many?) of them, I find it hard to resist them at prices which are lower than I paid for the ones I already have. They'll come in handy and I'll be glad I have them when I need them.....right? Or is this an illness? LOL

I think I'm infected too. I'm trying to wait for the Black Friday prices to get a couple of large capacity drives. If I can hold off that long!
I feel that way, but I bet if I acted on the impulse they'd start disappearing the same way pacifiers do around here. Can't win for trying.
I certainly do. I still have an 8gb sitting around in the package. I gave one to my dad for his job. And, two to my mom. Funny. I don't think I've ever used mine much. Oh well, going to buy more, lol!~
So far I've not bought any but it's getting more difficult.
I suspect the infection is taking over - Resistance is Futile.
i am this way too. but not with usb drives. perhaps a rephrase: not with JUST usb drives. i do it with microsd cards, and lots of the smallish electronics that use to be SO expensive, but now aren't.
Okay....I'm beginning to see a pattern here. I think we are all infected with the "find the best deals and buy them no matter what" virus!!!! We've all been hanging out here, and it seems to be spreading quickly.....
Must be highly contagious.
I used to feel that way, but I resist buying any unless I have an immediate need. If you won't use it within the same week you buy it you can almost guarantee there will be a better deal before you get it out of the package.
Apparently you are not the only one, but so far I am holding out for an even better price....keywords are so and far. :)
I have been able to hold off for now, but had to buy a 4 gb earlier today from the Best But DOTD to replace a 4gb drive I bricked yesterday.
I am not only infected...I am a carrier. And so is anyone else that keeps posting them here!!!
My infection is also microSD card more than USB.
I think it is common because I bought my first flash drives at the cashiers impulse purchase trays. At Walgreens.
In the last 2 months I've picked up (2) 8GB, (1) 16gb, (1) 32 GB and (1) 64GB flash drives. I've also bought a microSD 32GB and (2) SD 16GB cards. And I needed a separate storage device for them so they don't get lost.
I'm ashamed of the things I may have done while under the influence of my Keurig B60 with Emeril's Big, Easy Bold K-Cups that I bought on sale at Kohl's for 30% off with free shipping and cash back.
Me too! I have a 16gb and a 32gb still in their packaging right here. Plus another 8gb and 16gb I actually use. Plus I bought two more 16gb ones for my neighbor. This is all in the last two months as well.
I haven't bought any yet, although I'd like a 16 GB one. Seeing the prices go down just makes me wait for an even better deal ...
Feel free to send me a USB if you're not using yours!
Definitely am infected, both with the USB & microSD card strains. Toward the end of the year I take stock and think: well, any that haven't been opened will be super for xmas stockings! (And, the fact is, everyone loves these little things in their stockings. Used to be Sansa clips too. No longer. sigh)
all the recent deals at staples means I've got quite a few laying around. Mostly 4gb that were free after staples rewards. Lately I've picked up two 16GB drives for around $8 at staples too. Can't have enough of these things
Every time you see a flash drive for a "great" price, that price is lower a few months later. That's what keeps me from buying another one aside from the one I already have.
I keep buying memory sticks too I think it it somehow making up for the high price for the Hard Drives still. The flooding in thailand has been milked to death on the price gouging with hard drives, but it looks like they are may starting to come down a little.
Please don't hate me for saying so, but I've managed to quit buying them, though I'm still tempted. I have five of them in front of me right now, the largest being a 16GB. Since I have never used more than half a 16GB I can't imagine using a larger memory stick. So I'm using the money I save to get hooked on other gadgets I don't need. :)

I always read things about how certain functions within the C programming language are optimized by being written in assembly. Let me apologize if that sentence sounds a little misguided.
So, I'll put it clearly: How is it that when you call some functions like strlen on UNIX/C systems, the actual function you're calling is written in assembly? Can you write assembly right into C programs somehow or is it an external call situation? Is it part of the C standard to be able to do this, or is it an operating system specific thing?

How can one format a cell to have wordwrap in Google Spreadsheets?
I've tried Shift+Enter, but that doesn't seem to work.
One thing I know works is to place the Spreadsheet into List Mode and then if you edit your cell you can have wordwrap in it.
But is there a way to do this without switching Modes?

The El Niño weather pattern in the tropical Pacific influences weather across the planet. As the planet warms, it is unclear if El Niño will grow stronger, bringing more extreme floods and droughts to some regions, or if El Niño will slacken, creating more uniform weather.

Vicarious Trauma and Personal Identity
I had my first taste of vicarious traumatization when I worked in a rural community health center. Every day I met with people who were experiencing the results of sexual abuse, incest, physical violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and neglect. I found it difficult to separate myself from my work: I did not want to become hardened and jaded like many social service workers I encountered, but I also did not want to lose myself in the barrage of the worst of human nature.
Eventually, I did a 180 degree turn, moved to a major university, and specialized in student counseling with a young, relatively healthy population. The vicarious experience was upsetting to me, but also constructive in that it led me to a fulfilling application of psychology.
Since that time, I've become convinced that vicarious traumatization occurs in varying degrees throughout life. Whenever we are exposed to the pain and upheavals of people we care about, we internalize that experience. Their life crises can become our own turning points.
There is no question in my mind that working with traders who have experienced career-ending losses in markets has helped to shape my own views on risk and approach to risk management. Seeing the shattered marriages and relationships of people I knew and worked with led me to approach marriage very carefully and only commit when I was certain that this was the right decision.
A friend's horrendous experience with a drug overdose--and years of work seeing people's lives ruined by drugs and alcohol--totally ended my days of partying. If I am in a setting where there is excessive drinking or drug use, I leave. The connotations are all wrong for me. I viscerally experience the lives and relationships ruined, not the joy of a party.
I'm quite certain that I will never truly retire. Long experience seeing people languish and deteriorate during their retirement years have tarnished my view of those golden years. My personal experience of others' retirement is one of empty lives and motion without direction. Intellectually, I recognize that retirement does not have to become a living death, but that is not my vicarious emotional reality.
I could go on and on. Seeing the mistakes parents have made with their children has shaped my childrearing. Seeing traders fleeced by crooks offering phony holy grails has sharpened my views on integrity.
In each case, I have developed facets of who I am in response to traumatic outcomes I've witnessed among others.
I suspect I'm not alone in such a developmental course. The people we're close to are always role models: sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in reverse. That's not necessarily a bad thing: You can emotionally imprint some of the best trading behaviors by witnessing the consequences of some of the worst.

Dr. Stenbarger,
Excellent post.
The people we're close to are always role models: sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in reverse.
Yes! I would say that the degree to which one has emotionally experienced violence, alcohol, abuse, etc. will influence in the strength of the response, not its direction.
Also, even though probably these responses are influenced by both genetics and upbringing, every single time there is a personal willful decision: to succumb or to overcome.
All the best,
PS: I guess in retirement you see who was just paying the bills and who was living his vision.

A very interesting post, Dr. Brett. In my life I've seen a lot of abuse of all possible kinds and I managed to learn a lot from it.
I chose rightly. And I'm proud of that, yes, very proud indeed because it wasn't the simplest of choices, you know. I could easily have gone down with the others.
Best regards and a wonderful sunday, RDV

so true. i just retired, but my lifelong dream has always been to trade the markets. i never had the time or money, now i do! i'm still trading on paper and unfortunately not consistently profitable. but i get up every morning at 6am (on the west coast) and keep at it. i thank you for your excellent blog, probably the most overall helpful that i read.

Two people were taken to the hospital after two vehicles collided Saturday morning south of Lansing, according to a report from the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office.
The accident was reported at 10:58 a.m. Saturday at Fairmount Road and 147th Street.
A 44-year-old rural Leavenworth woman was driving east on Fairmount Road in a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. A 2002 Toyota Sequoia was traveling behind the Malibu.
The driver of the Malibu attempted to make what was described as an illegal U-turn at the intersection of Fairmount and 147th, according to the report.
She pulled to the right onto 147th Street and attempted the U-turn. She apparently didn't realize a sport utility vehicle had been traveling behind her on Fairmount, or she at least didn't realize how close the vehicle was. Her car collided with the Sequoia.
The 44-year-old woman and a passenger, a 47-year-old rural Leavenworth man, were transported by Leavenworth County EMS to the University of Kansas Hospital, Kansas City, Kan., for injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.
No one else reported injuries.
The Sequoia was driven by a 34-year-old rural Tonganoxie woman.
Both vehicles were towed from the scene. The Malibu was considered a total loss.

I got a letter from Natalie Maniscalco who is working at The Jeffrey Modell Foundation. She asked me to post this message about the Foundation and the importance of avoiding diagnostic delay:
The Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF) was established by Vicki and Fred Modell in memory of their son, Jeffrey, who died at the age of 15 of a Primary Immunodeficiency (PI). The Foundation is dedicated to early and precise diagnosis, meaningful treatments and ultimately cures for Primary Immunodeficiencies.
What you need to know:
PI is a genetic defect in a child's immune system. It's more common than you think, it's chronic, and if untreated, it can be deadly.
It affects as many as 1 million children and young adults – more common than childhood leukemia and lymphoma combined.
PI causes the usual childhood illnesses to occur an unusual amount of times.
There are 10 warning signs of the disease, and a simple and inexpensive blood test can identify the disorder in over 95% of the cases.
Once diagnosed, there are several treatment options that can provide a good quality of life and in some cases, even a cure.
To date, there are 35 Jeffrey Modell Research and Diagnostic Centers in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Middle East, and Asia. Recently they established collaboration with the NIH and Affymetrix to develop a Gene Chip using Microarray technology to do Newborn Screening of Severe Combined Immune Deficiency. The Modells have raised over $40 million for research and education since starting the Foundation in 1987.Focus
- To affirm its absolute commitments to clinical and basic research in order to better understand and treat Primary Immunodeficiencies.
- To serve as a national and international source for the dissemination of information and education into the diagnosis and treatment of genetic immunodeficiencies.
- To serve as a tireless, compassionate advocate on behalf of patients and families to assure their access to excellent and comprehensive care.
- To promote public awareness of the Primary Immunodeficiency diseases through programs involving our lawmakers as well as lay, scientific, and medical communities.
- To affirm its commitment to turn pain, despair and suffering of immunodeficient children and adults into comfort and hope.

In recent months, the price consumers have been receiving for their valuable property has dropped to unconscionable levels while the market price of gold and other precious metals continues to rise steadily. Three to five dollars per gram for fourteen-karat gold seems to be the going rate, at least at the half dozen or so "We Buy Gold" dealers in and around the Mall of Georgia.
Gwinnett Gold Brokers usually pays dealers one dollar per gram per karat, depending on market prices. This means that a 14k gold necklace or bracelet that weighs about an ounce (or the approximate weight of a silver dollar) brings better than $14 per gram or $500 for the item from GGB. The local area dealers would pay $93 to $155 for the same item, while advertising and claiming that they pay "Top Dollar" or "Highest Prices."
These gold dealers are making such huge profits from their current price schedule that they continue to open more and more stores even today. And they're getting great deals on commercial rent from the more than half empty strip malls that exist just about everywhere.

Is there an easy way to look at a partial different equation and get a sense of what kind of phenomena it is physically describing? I have an equation that looks like this:
From inspecting it and doing some searching, it seemed like it might be trying to describe a phenomena that had advection and diffusion occurring at the same time. Is this a correct interpretation?
Note that $C_3>0$, $C_2<0$, $C_1<0$, $C_0>0$ and $v(x,t)$ is velocity. I'm not sure, but it seems reasonable to assume velocity can be either negative or positive. Also, $A(x,t)$ should be positive.
Note that I'm not looking for a solution to the equation, just the physical interpretation of what kind of physics would be involved.

Why is the Dirac operator considered so important - in both physics and (pure) mathematics?
It should be obvious why the Dirac operator is important in physics because of fermions. In mathematics, one could mention the following incomplete list.
For further information, see also nLab.
Because it describes spinors (i.e. behavior of fermions). String Theory speaks about both bosons and fermions... when passing to a QFT, fermionic wavefunctions become spinor fields, and their dynamics require the Dirac operator. And this is where all the mathematical importance stems from: QFT and String Theory (topological field theories) is a pure math theory. In particular, I disagree completely with Noldorin's seemingly naive comment... Clifford algebras and spinors on manifolds is a huge field.
Sorry if this too brief of an explanation (for immediate purposes).

The term "Hearts and Minds" has long been associated with the Vietnam War, in which armed conflict was defined not only by military power, but also by winning the backing of civilians. But such counterinsurgency, or COIN, measures have been undertaken by U.S. forces to suppress "Native American rebellions in the 19th century" and stretch into the 21st as part of "post-9/11 attempts to crush anti-American insurgencies as part of the Global War on Terror," writes Hannah Gurman in Hearts and Minds: A People's History of Counterinsurgency (The New Press, 2013).
In her edited volume, Gurman, a clinical assistant professor at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, highlights examples from Malaya, the Philippines, Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, and Afghanistan to focus on the civilians enmeshed in these conflicts.
"These stories clarify why it is so difficult for any counterinsurgent military to appear as a benevolent force," writes Foreign Affairs in its review of the book. "The conclusion may be less that it is hard to win over hearts and minds and more that it is easy to lose them, owing to the insensitivity of foreigners, the careless use of firepower, counterinsurgents' readiness to reduce risks to themselves at the expense of endangering host populations, and an inability to grasp foreign cultures and political currents."
Gurman has previously authored The Dissent Papers: The Voices of Diplomats in the Cold War and Beyond (Columbia University Press, 2012), which explores the overlooked opposition of U.S. diplomats to American foreign policy in the latter half of the 20th century, beginning with the Cold War and concluding with the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

NEW MANCHESTER - Oak Glen got a big time game from Vanessa Hissam to hold off a Madonna team that fought its way out of a big whole to make a game out of it Saturday night at the Oak Glen Fieldhouse.
Up 18-1 after the first quarter, the Lady Golden Bears saw the Lady Blue Dons close to within five points with 4:52 left in the game, but went on a huge 15-0 run to end the game with a 64-44 victory.
Hissam, who is closing in on 1,000 points for her career, kept the Golden Bears going each time it seemed the Blue Dons were about to make a run.

DRIBBLE DRIVE — Madonna's Becca Holt comes up with a steal and rives up court in the second half of the Blue Dons game against Oak Glen on Saturday. Alex Arnott of the Golden Bears attempts to defend on the play as Jessica Stivason, far left, of Oak Glen and Isabella Rosso, left, of Madonna look on.
The senior four-year starter led all scorers with 19 points and had a double-double with 13 rebounds. She also was a force in the paint on the defensive end with 7 blocked shots.
"Vanessa had a great game," said Lady Golden Bear coach, Scott Wiley. "She can block shots. I don't think that refs feel girls can block shots, but she does a nice job of separating so she doesn't get called for a foul when she blocks shots. She's got good jumping ability and timing.
"It seemed like those last five minutes were up there for five days," Wiley continued. "We kept fouling and not taking care of the basketball. We did it to ourselves with their press causing us problems."

Wiley's daughter, Karley, made three from long range with two of them in the first period to spark the Bears, who ran their record to 6-2.
The Lady Dons began to whittle away at the Oak Glen lead in the second quarter with sophomore Monica Bragg scoring seven of her team high 13 to outscore the Bears 17-15. But the Lady Bears still were in control with a 33-18 lead at the intermission.
"That first quarter deficit is on me," said veteran Madonna coach, Don Ogden. "It was poor game planning or just not making the adjustments I needed to make earlier. Once we made those adjustments we came back.
"We got it back to within five twice, but credit Oak Glen. Each time we were knocking at the door they answered the bell and came back out and increased the deficit again."
Madonna's Isabella Rosso made a long two-point shot with 4:52 left in the game to lift the Blue Dons to within five points at 49-44, but that was the final score of the game for Madonna, which saw its record drop to 4-4.
The Lady Golden Bears go to Beaver Local Monday for a rematch with another close rival while the Blue Dons wait till next Wednesday for their next action when they travel to Brooke.
