Benedict XVI recalled with gratitude how Paul VI had appointed him as archbishop of Munich, Germany and, three months later, as cardinal. That pontiff, he continued, "received the call of divine providence to guide the ship of Peter through a historical period marked by no small number of challenges and problems."
Paul VI's missionary zeal "inspired him and encouraged him to undertake important apostolic trips, even to distant nations, and to make prophetic gestures of great ecclesial, missionary and ecumenical value. He was the first Pope to travel to the Land of Christ," where his visit "took on clear symbolic significance, indicating to the Church that the way of her mission is to follow the footsteps of Christ."
The Holy Father indicated that "the secret of the pastoral activity that Paul VI carried out with such tireless dedication, sometimes making difficult and unpopular decisions, lay in his love for Christ... Until his last breath, his thoughts, energies and activities were for Christ and for the Church."
Pope Benedict pointed out "how arduous a task it was for Paul VI to lead the Church in the period following Vatican Council II." However, "he did not let himself be conditioned by misunderstandings and criticisms, although he sometimes had to endure suffering and occasionally-violent attacks, yet he always remained a firm and prudent helmsman of the ship of Peter."
"With the passing of the years," he added, "the importance of his pontificate for the Church and the world becomes ever clearer, as does the value of his exalted Magisterium, which inspired his successors and to which I too continue to refer."

Shopping event raises $1,000 for Doctors Without Borders
A model from Pizzazz Modeling and Talent Agency walks the runway during a Nov. 4 fundraiser at Boutique Vasanji.
A White Rock business's anniversary celebration has raised $1,000 for Doctors Without Borders Canada's efforts in Africa.
Boutique Vasanji owners Raz and Kerry Vasanji hosted a VIP shopping event Nov. 4 at their 1391 Johnston Rd. store.
It celebrated both their 25 years in business and their first year of doing that business in White Rock.
The soirée featured complimentary appetizers and beverages, a chocolate bar, a fashion show, shopping and a silent auction.
The fundraising total is a combination of 20 per cent of the evening's sales and 100 per cent of silent auction proceeds.

Gene regulatory networks form the basis for cellular decision-making processes. A description of the flow of information through such networks is essential to understanding their function. Such a description is complicated by the non-instantaneous nature of signal transmission. Signals, in the form of transcription factors, undergo a sequential assembly of first mRNA and then protein. This "transcriptional delay" is important because it influences the simultaneity at dual-input transcriptional logic gates, and other motifs whose functions rely on the timing of arriving signals. Delay can also lead to nontrivial dynamics such as oscillations in gene networks containing feedback. Mathematical models of gene networks that incorporate delay have been used in the past. However, to date there has been no systematic effort to experimentally and theoretically characterize transcriptional delay and its effects on network behavior. The work outlined in this proposal will experimentally establish the effects of delay on transcriptional signaling and provide novel theoretical techniques for generating and analyzing models of gene networks incorporating delay. The work is highly interdisciplinary, incorporating aspects of synthetic biology, microfluidc engineering, theoretical biology, and dynamical systems. Specifically, the PIs will: 1) create novel synthetic gene networks consisting of common network motifs and variable length transcriptional cascades;2) characterize the dynamics of the synthetic networks at the single-cell level using microfluidic devices and time-lapse fluorescence microscopy;3) mathematically characterize the amount and variability of transcriptional delay as a function of cascade length;4) examine the impact of experimentally characterized delay on the dynamics and computation in simple gene networks;5) experimentally test these theoretical predictions in small synthetic gene networks, and 6) generate and analyze novel mathematical reduction techniques for incorporating transcriptional delay into models of gene regulatory networks.
This work is relevant to public health because it examines the impact of delayed processes in the regulation of gene networks critical to cellular survival. This enables the creation of better computational models of gene regulation that enhance understanding of living systems. Therefore, the proposed research is relevant to the part of NIH's mission to develop fundamental knowledge leading to an understanding of life processes.

David Cameron's revelation that he hosted private Downing Street meals for Tory donors sparked calls for an independent inquiry into "cash for access" claims and urgent party funding reform.
The Prime Minister gave in to intense pressure to expose the meetings with wealthy benefactors after a co-treasurer of the party was caught promising meetings and influence in return for cash.
Labour dismissed an internal probe into Peter Cruddas - who has resigned - as a "whitewash" and said the issue should be investigated by the official adviser on ministerial interests.
As opinion polls suggested the Conservatives were losing support over the issue, senior party figures tried to turn attention instead to the wider question of political funding.
Cross-party talks are expected to be reopened this week in a fresh bid to end the deadlock which has stymied attempts to reduce the influence of big donors for many years.
Mr Cruddas was caught on film telling undercover reporters that "premier league" gifts could secure meetings with ministers and influence policy.
He quit his post on Saturday, hours after the Sunday Times revealed his comments.
After initially trying to brush off the controversy, the Tories released the names yesterday of donors - and their partners - who had been invited to the meals.
There were 12 who had attended four dinners at Downing Street and five invited to informal lunches at official country residence Chequers since Mr Cameron's election in 2010.
Labour said the super-rich business figures had donated more than £23 million since 2005.
Mr Cameron denied Mr Cruddas's claims that big donors' concerns were fed into a policy committee and insisted that none of those who dined with him had been recommended by the former treasurer.
"None of these dinners were fundraising dinners and none of these dinners were paid for by the taxpayer. I have known most of those attending for many years," said the PM.
He announced that eminent lawyer and Tory peer Lord Gold would conduct a party inquiry into the affair, and he said the party would in future release quarterly registers of significant donors invited to eat with him at official residences, as well as lists of those attending "Leader's Group" dinners for donors who give more than £50,000.
Labour leader Ed Miliband dismissed the Gold inquiry as "a whitewash" and called for an independent probe by the PM's official adviser on ministerial interests, Sir Alex Allan.
"This scandal speaks to the conduct and character of this Prime Minister and his Government," said Mr Miliband.
"Anything short of an independent inquiry will leave a permanent stain on the reputation of this Government and this Prime Minister."
Addressing Labour MPs on what he told them was a "significant" political week, he said: "It shows the battle in politics is who is for the few and who is for the many."
He will have been further buoyed by an opinion poll which showed the opposition racing into a double-digit lead amid the fallout from the controversy and last week's unpopular Budget.
Two-thirds of voters agreed that tax changes announced by Chancellor George Osborne last week show his was "the party of the rich", according to the ComRes research for The Independent.
The poll puts Labour up three points over the last month on 43%, with the Tories down four at 33% and the Liberal Democrats down two on 11%. Others gained three points to 13%.
But among the third of voters who were polled after the Cruddas story emerged, the lead had widened to 17%. Other polls also showed a growing Labour lead.
All three main parties have named two members to handle negotiations over party funding, which the minister in charge - Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg - said he hoped would start this week.
Mr Cameron said there was an "urgent need" for wider reform and said he would back a £50,000 cap on individual donations - but only if Labour agreed to apply it trade unions.
That is the stalemate which has seen a succession of attempted shake-ups fail but options are also limited as parties are agreed there is presently no appetite for increased state funding.

Its back, the only show I will continue to watch once the Olympics start! I'll keep the spoilers to a minimum as I know its not that all important of who goes when. Couples most looking forward to seeing in action: Lindzi & Kalon Blakeley & Tony, Reality Steve is right, WTF is Tony thinking with Blakeley. Anyone and Ed Not looking forward to: Rachel & Michael Stagliano, I've had enough of ole Michael on this show Chris & the three girls he goes through. So much for being heartbroken, huh Chris!!?
What on earth is Blakely wearing???? And the fans? This is going to be such a trainwreck... I hope it keeps my attention more than the actual seasons of the Bachelor/ette do.
first time watching, wow this show is batsh!t crazy. love it! way more interesting than the last bachelor and bachelorette already.
at the contestants whining about fans competing. Yeah Sarah you "earned" the right to be on Bach. Pad. Meanwhile, I don't have a clue who you are.
Blakely reminds of MileyCyrus. I'm loving how she is crying and feeling betrayed on night 1. So we get another 40 min?
David is sooooo dumb. Feel sorry for fan Chris. Rumor is one of the bachelor guys is now dating a fan so I'm wondering if its Reid and Paige!? She didn't last long but she made a good impression.
Shoot I missed the end. Who was voted out this week? I'm assuming Chris. And I agree David is an idiot. I found Erika Rose somewhat likable last summer, but she's coming across as really bratty this summer.
Fan Chris and Paige are gone. Fan Chris was pissed at David running his mouth so he was the swing vote and voted to keep Erica over Paige.
Yes, she wants to wear her bikini 24/7. Michael told Reid that the "guys" wanted to keep Donna over Paige cause of her looks. Paige leaving over her totally sucks. Oh well. Hope the rumors about a fan dating a guy from the show are about Paige as she seemed pretty nice and normal.
So my cable goes out right before it starts last night But comes back in time for me to pvr the west coast feed So will watch tonight
Its worth the wait. One of Fleiss better casts. Stars, IMHO are: Blakeley: took up right where Melissa left off with her immediate possession of Chris! Jaclyn: for a someone lacking in the looks department, she totally makes up for being a total bitch. Perfect for this show! Lindzi: just cause I love that all the guys wanted to meet her the most and we all know who she ends up with! Erica Rose: I don't have a problem with her stirring things up. That's why she was cast and she embraces it Jamie: willing to slut it up and "steal" Chris away from Blakeley Ed: probably should make a trip to Celebrity Rehab next Reid: just cause he's Reid Nick: didn't say a word but still looks so good without his shirt on The only ones I didn't like were fan David and the twins and I can't see how they don't go next since the entire house hates them. Girls much more interesting than the boys but that's usually the case since once Fleiss mixes in some booze, single guys looking to hook up and the cash prize, they all tend to go CRAZY!
Catherine, did you see that those skanky twins were also on Jersey Shore? Nick looked way better as a blonde. Has Jamie has something done to her face? Ed makes my skin crawl. I can't believe Rachel's last name is "Trueheart;" can that be real? And I love Reid more than ever!
Yeah, saw that about the twins. Didn't see that season of Jersey Shore but read that the Virgin stalked Mike and the non-Virgin got with Vinny. Their parents must be so proud! Guess it really doesn't matter what the Twins are like as even if David hadn't had diarrhea of the mouth and blabbed to everyone his big plan for the fans to take over the house, I still think they were going to be targets, just the way most reacted to their presence. I think Ryan and Reid, two outsiders themselves among the alums were the only ones open to having Paige stay. I don't count Kalon since he was more about getting back at Erica.
THAT'S why they look so familiar! Trashy reality TV whores FTW. I didn't really get into the first two BP, but am LOVING this one. It helps that I'm familiar with more of the cast members this time. I was also and at everyone being so indignant about the fans' presence. Um, who were all of you exactly before you got on the Bachelor/ette? That's right, a bunch of nobodies, and FANS made you famous, as Chris pointed out in his blog: http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/07/24/chris-harrison-bachelorette-finale-bachelor-pad-premiere-blog/ Ed was . He's really throwing himself into the experience. Can't wait for next Monday! (Also, I think that's the most smilies I've ever used in one post.)
Here is a deleted scene of Paige and Reid. There are spoilers and links to other deleted scenes if you scroll down. http://www.examiner.com/video/watch-a-deleted-scene-of-reid-and-paige-from-bachelor-pad-3
Reality Steve is up with his recap. I found it amusing, if anyone cares to read. You just have to skim over his fight with Holly and a couple of pages of reader emails (well those can be amusing too). He mention that Reid moved on from Paige, very very quickly.
I like Erica. They should have brought Melissa and Gia back. I know Gia is dating but.. I am kinda disappointed so far. We need people that we love to hate.. someone like Vienna and shit breath Kasey.
I thought the whole thing was de-lishus. I had a million comments while I was watching, but now I think I'll just remind myself to take notes next week.
Please take notes Jenny as from the previews the season only looks to get better, especially after the annoying twins and delusional David are gone. Fleiss took to twitter yesterday over the low ratings (around 4.4 million watched) asking why people didn't watch, so I hope ABC won't be pulling the plug on this show. If they do, hopefully one of the cable networks will pick it up as there is so much potential in all these folks wanting to extend their 15 seconds of fame. Just curious, did Bachelor Canada start yet with that ex CFL player?
I think that Jaclyn is gearing up to be awful. Too bad they didn't get Jenna - she'd have filled in for Melissa/Michelle.
I read an interview with Jenna (why I read this crap is one thing and why I can remember reading is another) where she said that she was on the final list of contestants and at the last moment was pulled. Not sure who she lost out to, as she was one of the bigger names to come from Ben's season. I guess they wanted Jaclyn, Rachel and Blakeley for the whole frenemy story line and Lindzi cause she was the one all the guys wanted to meet so it must have come down to her and Jamie and I'm not sure why Jamie was cast over Jenna. If the crazy rantings that Jamie has posted about having a boyfriend but she still went on Bachelor Pad and its all Chris' fault she cheated on said boyfriend that she put on facebook that Reality Steve brought over to his blog yesterday, maybe that's why!
I have to wonder how many people are clearing their schedules for the Olympics, and not starting any new series until it's over. Plus, in summer I'm influenced by weather. If it's nice out, I'll skip shows just to sit out on the deck, like so many others in northern climates who want to maximize their sunshine and outdoor time while they can. I pvr some shows, but if they pile up too much I'll end up deleting without ever watching. Another explanation might be what a dud Bachelorette was. If you weren't watching, you might have missed all the promos, and not have interest in seeing the same guys again. And maybe there's just too much similar competition with BB, Glass House, Real World, Jersey Shore and the like. If it goes to cable, I really hope that it's a network we get in Canada, and that we get it in real time instead of months later. The advantage might be that they can save money on censors

Mumbai: Nov 2, 2012
Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar slammed a fluent century for Mumbai against Railways, in the Ranji Trophy 2012 opening match on Friday.
Tendulkar's century put Mumbai in a strong position on the opening day, as they reached 294 for three against Railways.
Tendulkar raced to 100 not out off 103 balls, which was studded with 14 boundaries and three hits over the fence.
It is Tendulkar's 18th century for the Mumbai side and 79th overall, and his only first class century since January 2011.
In this match, Indian top cricketers Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan are representing their home side Mumbai after a long time. This will provide an ideal opportunity for both to get some form ahead of the important Test series against England.
Tendulkar is representing his home association for the first time since the final against UP at Hyderabad in 2009.
Zaheer had played a few away games last season to test his match fitness ahead of getting back into the international arena after an injury lay-off.

I ordered Greenies and a month later they had not arrived. I called entirely pets.com and was told the product was backordered, but would be in by the next week. Three weeks later I called back and was told that the product was still backordered, and it might be a few more weeks. I cancelled my order and bought the Greenies at Petsmart. No more entirelypets.com!
This is a great product. I have not found anything to compare to it. My dogs absolutely love taking their pills. No more fighting with the dogs to take medication.
My yorkiepoo has an allergy and requires daily doses of pills. These pills pockets work everytime we give out medicine. Entirely Pets provided the pockets at a much lower price, the package arrived on time & still fresh. I will definetly order more items from Entirely Pets in the future.
I use Pill Pockets twice daily for giving meds to my very picky Maltese! He is allergic to so many things and when the Allergy Formula came out I bought a package and have successfully given meds to my dog for over 2 years. Prior to Pill Pockets my dog was very adapt at eating whatever I had the medicine in but would spit out the med.
My Yorkie has skin allergies, and cannot eat most things that other dogs eat, like beef and chicken. She can eat venison, duck, and most vegetables. She takes several pills, and I found it difficult to give them to her, so I tried this duck and pea formula pill pocket, and she loves the taste of them! She thinks she is getting a treat every time I give her a pill. Works for both of us! A life saver for me, and a treat for her!
I had never heard of this product. I need to give my dog a medicine daily that is in powder form. The pill pocket is perfect. My dog takes it willingly.
i know these are for dogs but my cat loves these. I put the pill in the pill pocket and he literally salivates. He thinks he is just getting a treat and not medicine. Thanks again!
I love the Pill Pockets as they make giving meds to your canine companions a snap and the pricing at Entirely Pets was terrific.
My dog takes 2 pills a day. We've tried cheese and other snacks to 'sneak' the pill. With pill pockets it's no problem. He ask for his treat! Best invention ever!
I have tried many different ways to get my dogs to take their meds in the morning. The frustration is taken away with these little gems. Both dogs thik of this as a treat so no more struggles with the pills!!!
This is Cody's favorite. He's a Cocker Spaniel with allergy and has to take pills every day. He LOVES these pill pockets. I even give them to him as a treat.
Baxter loves taking his medication now !
Very strong smelling when the bag is first opened, but our dogs love them. Perfect for disguising small capsules and tablets. Luckily for us, the smell dissipates after the bag has been opened 2-3 times.
If your dog does not like taking pills, the pill pockets are a must. Thank goodness these are available in an allergy form.
I am a volunteer Dog Walker for a large rescue group. I use these as treats and ALL the dogs love them, no matter the flavor variety! They are a change from the normal dog biscuits they receive and they cannot wait until we get close to the end of our walk and sit down. They know what is coming after the first time. :)
These things stink. I mean they smell really bad. I used the duck flavor for cats and my cats loved them but then they discontinued them so I tried the duck for dogs. Not the same. I sure wish I could still get the Duck for cats. My cats don't like this one either.
I have had lots of success with this product. All of my dogs take their medications willingly in the pill pockets and the one with allergies seems to be doing fine with the Duck and Pea formula. Even my cat enjoys them as a treat.
Our pup had cruciate ligament surgery in January and had a number of pills to take each day. Stick them inside these stinky Duck pill pockets, and he sucked them down! If we ever need to give him pills again, we know how to do it.
my dogs loved the treats but they break apart easily and don't hold the pills very well. I had to buy the allergy free ones and they are quite pricey They would be better if they were more pliable versus flaky
My dogs (and cat) love the duck & pea pill pockets. I'm currently having to give pills to one of our pets, and he actually runs into the kitchen when he hears the package open. Giving pills is so easy -- what a change from trying to hide them in food!
Rufus doesnt have food allergies but I bought these for a change. He does have pancreatitis and these were just too rich for him. I am sure they work well for dogs with food allergies though. I gave them to my nephew and his dogs loved them

But you don't need to download either to turn an iPhone or an iPad into a Pokédex. Just ask Siri. That's because, as VentureBeat points out, the Wolfram Alpha database just added data for all Pokémon through their first five generations—and Wolfram Alpha is a search engine that Siri uses to answer questions. If you have one, give it a try: Just ask what type of Pokémon Squirtle is or which Pokémon has the highest rated special attack. (Data for the Generation VI Pokémon will be updated later.)

She said some things that have been reported about the stunt just arent true.The video was shot high above Taft as 34-year-old Alex Torres and Howell, 20, had sex while in free fall.Friday 23ABC spoke to Howell.It was crazy. It was fun, Howell said.Howell said she wants to tell her side of the story about the tape. She said its something they decided to do on a slow day at Skydive Taft.My adrenaline was rushing. I was so excited. I was pumped. I was ready for it to be edited, Howell said.Torres and Howell hoped to grab the eye of national shock jock Howard Stern. Howell said she spoke to "The Howard Stern Show" on Friday.I am happy I did it. I wouldn't change it for the world, and it did get the attention of Howard Stern -- our whole goal in general, Howell said.The owner of the company, David Chrouch, said he wasnt there when the stunt happened and didnt know what was being planned. Howell said thats a complete lie.Our boss was there. Everything was approved. We did plan it out, Howell said.There has also been confusion about whether or not she was fired from her receptionist job at Skydive Taft. She said call it whatever you want, she is not working there anymore.I got a phone call saying I was fired, and I feel like that was a stab in my back, Howell said.Some have said the sex on the tape is faked, but Howell insists its real. She said no one on the tape is drunk or high. Howell also said this was only her fourth jump ever.Knowing that you are doing something wild and crazy makes it so much better, Howell said.The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the stunt. Investigators said there is no regulation banning sex on a plane. But an FAA spokesman said if the pilot allows any activity that could be a distraction, he could be in trouble. Howell said everything was safe.(I) never touched him. He is an amazing pilot. He is a great jump pilot. Its not his first rodeo, Howell said.Howell is a Taft native and said the reaction to the tape has taught her who her real friends are.I could have took it as, Oh my god, Im the victim here, but no. I owned up to what I did and how I went about it, Howell said.Howell said she has done more than a dozen adult films so far and hopes the publicity from this tape will help her career.So 23ABC asked what she is planning next.Something better than sex and skydiving, Howell said.She said people who think what they did is wrong are just prudes.Anyone else that has anything bad to say, thats them. They can take that to their grave, and I am going to take sex and skydiving all the way to my grave, Howell said.The FAA said it has assigned an inspector to the case, but it doesnt know how long the investigation will take.

Witness: Maureen McDonnell Pitched Company's 'MS Cure' To Ann Romney
The Washington Post reported on the testimony as part of the ongoing federal corruption trial against the McDonnells.
According to the Post, Cox said the McDonnells had flown to South Carolina for the endorsement on Jan. 20, 2012. While Bob McDonnell was giving interviews to national media in a conference room, Cox said, Maureen McDonnell entered the room along with Star Scientific then-CEO Jonnie Williams.
Williams, whose company manufactured the supplement Anatabloc, has been at the center of the corruption case and allegedly lavished the McDonnells with money and gifts while the governor was in office.
Cox said Maureen McDonnell and Williams were trying to meet with the presidential candidate to talk about Anatabloc, according to the Post.
Cox shut down the attempt and got them to leave the room. Later, Cox said he overheard Maureen McDonnell making a second attempt to pitch the product -- this time to Romney's wife, Ann.
"Mrs. McDonnell was talking to Ann Romney about how Anatabloc could potentially cure MS," Cox said, according to The Washington Post.
Cox called Ann Romney, who has multiple sclerosis, "extremely classy" for listening to Maureen McDonnell, but Cox himself was "horrified" by the conversation.
"I was horrified. I thought it was a train wreck. I thought it was improper that Maureen would try to push this product on Ann Romney, and I didn't think it showed the governor in a great light," Cox said.

Germans from Russia collection director to work on documentary in Argentina
Michael M. Miller, director of the NDSU Libraries' Germans from Russia Heritage Collection, is scheduled to travel to Argentina Sept. 22-Oct. 17, for final filming and interviews for a documentary on Germans from Russia in South America
The documentary will be produced in partnership with Prairie Public Broadcasting. Miller will travel with Bob Dambach, director of television, and videographers Barb Gravel and Dave Grant.
Miller will be involved with interviews conducted in English and German. He and Dambach visited southern Brazil in April for filming and interviews, including families of Bessarabian, Black Sea, Mennonite, Volga and Volhynian German ancestry. In Argentina, they will film persons of Volga, Mennonite and Black Sea German ancestry.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, many Germans from Russia immigrated to South America, especially to Argentina and southern Brazil. At the same time, other German-Russian families immigrated to North and South Dakota and the Northern Plains. As a result, many of these Germans from Russia in Argentina and Brazil have relatives in Canada and the United States.
"The story of the Germans from Russia community in South America will unfold in this documentary project," Miller said, noting it will be the eighth documentary of Prairie Public's award-winning Germans from Russia series, and will premiere in 2015.
For more information, go to http://library.ndsu.edu/grhc/outreach/documentaries/sadocumentary.html or www.prairiepublic.org.
NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

#11310 closed bug (patchwelcome)
Script tag with defer not processed in Explorer
Reported by: | Endeer | Owned by: | |
Priority: | low | Milestone: | 1.8 |
Component: | core | Version: | 1.7.1 |
Keywords: | ie6 ie7 ie8 ie9 | Cc: | |
Blocked by: | Blocking: |
I've stumbled upon an issue which manifests in IE6,7,8,9 for me (other versions not tested).
Including <script defer src="something.js"> after including jQuery will cause the content of something.js not to be processed - defined functions will not be available, direct code will not be executed.
This happens only most of the time - e.g. after the page is loaded once, you click on location bar and press enter, the bug will probably not occur, but F5/Ctrl-F5 triggered it about every time for me.
Example is available here: http://www.endeer.cz/iebug/2/ It should alert("X").
This occurs only with 1.7.1, and not in 1.7.0 or 1.4.2 which I tested. Replacing the included jQuery with any of these other version will cause the alert() to pop up every time.

I would also like to point out, that I had to register to post this, because even after passing captcha, the bug tracker said "maximum number of posts from this IP per hour exceeded". This is my first post, and I even tried using IP which is not used by anyone. The error message is thus misleading.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by sindresorhus
Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! I'm sorry you're having problems with the bug tracker, we know about the problem.
The "defer" attribute is very quirky on <=IE9. jQuery might be triggering it, but it such a new issue that it's not thoroughly defined yet. The consensus seems to be:
don't use defer for external scripts that can depend on eachother if you need IE <= 9 support
A good discussion about it here.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by Endeer
thanks for reply. The issue is that if the bug is triggered, the content of the "defer" script doesn't get loaded at all, ever. If I define a function in the deferred .js file, and try to call it after clicking a button, it will still not be defined, it's not a timing or onready/onload issue.
The reason I'm trying to use "defer" is that I'm making a script which will provide some data to other websites, but is not crucial for them, so I would like to avoid that should our server have an outage, those other websites would block loading.
I won't have control over where they place the script, so I can't dictate it should be right before </body>, so I thought I might solve this by using <script async defer src=...>
I'm also aware I could create the <script> tag dynamically, but that would make the original simple <script ...></script> into a few lines of JS code, which I'd be a bit uneasy pasting into wysiwyg editors, and it's gonna happen.
Still I think this should be fixed. I might try to have a look into what changed between 1.7.0. and 1.7.1, if I could perhaps contribute a fix, but can't promise anything now.

- Component changed from unfiled to core
- Priority changed from undecided to low
- Status changed from new to open
I suspect it has something to do with the changes in our feature detection in support.js but that is just a guess. If you are interested in investigating that would be great.
comment:5 Changed 5 years ago by Endeer
You were right, I also noticed some talk about "fake body" when trying to google anything on the defer issue.
The problems occurs in the support check, specifically in the section "Run tests that need a body at doc ready". A <div> is created for the testing purposes and the issue described in this bug report is triggered by assigning non-blank string to test element's innerHTML (div.innerHTML in the code).
The bug can be avoided by changing (in jQuery core) all three occurences of
div.innerHTML = something_not_blank;
container.removeChild(div); div.innerHTML = something; container.appendChild(div);
Though I'm not very sure that's the proper solution, even though the support test results seemed the same. Tested with 1.7.2b1.
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by Endeer
Also noticed that the bug occurs ~99% of the time in IE6-7 and only ~20% of the time in IE8 (don't have IE9 at hand right now), so if anyone's trying to reproduce it, I recommend IE6-7.
(sorry for double post, noticed the Edit too late)

I don't see how we can fix this. See this thread for details:
Even if our support.js code could avoid touching the document by making feature detects as lazy as possible, that would just turn it into a non-deterministic race that depended on user code calling jQuery features that triggered the lazy feature detects, or their own code doing a manipulation.
If anyone has a suggestion, please let us know. Fortunately, the best practice of CSS at the top and scripts at the bottom will generally prevent this from being a problem.

This crater just might be the trendiest meteorite landing spot on all of Mars.AdvertisementThe crater was discovered by the European Space Agency's Mars Express probe, which found this unusual formation in the planet's southern hemisphere. To explain its unusual shape, ESA scientists speculate that two initial meteorites - quite possibly the same meteorite split in two - struck the ground at a shallow angle and dug the initial crater. But there are unusual depressions within the crater - sub-craters, if you will - that suggest still more rocks have hit that same spot afterwards.There's no logical reason why so many rocks should hit more or less the exact same spot on such a big planet. In all likelihood, it's just a crazy coincidence. Indeed, this spot can likely lay claim to being the most battered spot on Mars, perhaps in the entire solar system. So, word of real estate advice - if you're looking to set up your Martian summer home, I'd suggest choosing a different spot.Advertisement[Scientific American]Reply37 repliesLeave a reply

"Dirty Dancing" rolls into town with more lights and machinery than Barnum & Bailey.
The touring stage incarnation of "Dirty Dancing" rolls into town with more lights and machinery than Barnum & Bailey — an odd fate indeed for a wispy, nostalgic coming-of-age story grown into cult status after decades of TV showings. Though 1987 pic's trappings are reconstructed with ruthless fidelity, what was engaging onscreen undergoes predictable coarsening when overmiked on the vast Pantages stage. Addicts will doubtless get what they come for, but for the uninitiated, a DVD rental wins out in the cost, convenience and heart departments.
While 1980s cinema probed 1960s male adolescent sexuality through the leering likes of the "Porky's" trilogy, scribe Eleanor Bergstein and helmer Emile Ardolino took the decade's gals seriously in the person of daddy's girl Frances "Baby" Houseman (Amanda Leigh Cobb, cloning original star Jennifer Grey), whose spring awakening occurs during a Catskills summer vacation circa 1963. Baby leans vaguely left despite unfamiliarity with the working class, a problem remedied as superhot lead dancer and disaffected loner Johnny Castle — Josef Brown channeling Patrick Swayze with an irritating Aussie accent — teaches her how the other half lives and how dirty it dances (more or less ritualized groping to a mambo beat). In translating screenplay to stage first for Australia and then worldwide, Bergstein retains its tart, smart observations of interclass tension and family strife. But what worked in closeup is here vulgarized and distorted, even when the shrill Cobb and mumbly Brown can be understood, which isn't always. Attempts at sweetness are dutiful but largely vacant. Show placates the fanbase by re-creating, doggedly if not admirably, every single pic location and transition, leading to some really odd traffic patterns. Autos and footbridges are painstakingly hauled in and out, and turntables grind full sets into view for seconds-long use. (One particularly phallic log descends from the wings for Baby and Johnny's cha-cha practice.) All this literalism adds little fun while padding pic's running time by nearly an hour. It's also not fun to see likable film characters reconceived as buffoons or harpies under James Powell's direction, though Kaitlin Hopkins stands out with a fully realized, sympathetic portrayal of Baby's understanding mom. But one quickly realizes it's not about the people, it's about the music and dance as 55 (count 'em) tunes are sung or underscored, mostly dating from the period with the inclusion of the odd 1980s sore thumb like "Hungry Eyes." The hard-working, youthful cast shines it on in number after number, though Kate Champion's dances often seem muddy against Jon Driscoll's overly busy video walls and under Tim Mitchell's lighting. Finally, after a rocky and sometimes soporific 2½ hours, Johnny strides down the aisle to pull Baby (nobody puts her in a corner, or hadn't you heard?) into the Oscar-winning strains of "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." With Kenny Ortega's original choreography honored if not literally repeated, the stories get efficiently wrapped up and all the excitement is finally justified. You probably won't have the time of your life at "Dirty Dancing," but the last 15 minutes may make you think so.Dirty Dancing -- The Classic Story on Stage

They sound suitable for characters in 1920s or 1930s cartoon strips. Not for nothing do they both rhyme with 'ditzy'.On the other hand, they'd do wonderfully well for domestic pets. I'm seeing two huge mastiffs with pink collars.

NEW YORK�(CNNMoney) -- The fireworks came early on Wall Street. Stocks started the second half of the year firing on all cylinders Friday, posting the strongest week in two years, as fresh data boosted investor optimism about the state of the economy.
After starting the day barely changed, the Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rallied 168 points, or 1.4%. Alcoa (AA, Fortune 500), JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) and Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500) and were the biggest gainers on the blue chip index.
The S&P 500 (SPX) added 19 points, or 1.4%, and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) gained 43 points, or 1.5%.
The gains put the Dow and S&P 500 up more than 5% for the week, while the Nasdaq soared more than 6%. It was the best weekly performance since July 2009 for all three indexes.
In fact, the gains over the last five sessions have helped stocks nearly erase all of June's losses.
Stocks initially got a lift Friday after a stronger-than-expected report on the nation's manufacturing sector. The Institute of Supply Management's manufacturing index jumped to 55.3 in June -- well above the 51.1 that economists had expected.
"Investors thought the economy would continue to be fairly weak through the summer, but the Chicago PMI number yesterday and the national manufacturing data this morning caused a huge swing in investor sentiment," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group.
A strong manufacturing sector will help drive economic growth and corporate profits, he added.
Stocks ended the first half of the year solidly higher Thursday, following a turbulent six months. The second quarter had been especially rough as soft economic data sparked concerns of a U.S. economic slowdown.
Volume was light Friday as many market participants head out for the holiday weekend. U.S. markets are closed Monday in observance of Independence Day.
Economy: The University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey for June fell to a reading of 71.5, slightly below the initial reading of 71.8.
Construction spending fell 0.6% in May, after rising 0.4% the prior month. Economist were expecting spending to hold steady in May.
Companies: University of Phoenix operator Apollo Group Inc. (APOL, Fortune 500) was the best performing stock on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Shares of the education company jumped nearly 7%, after it reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings late Thursday.
Major auto makers including General Motors (GM, Fortune 500), Ford (F, Fortune 500) and Chrysler reported their June sales figures. Sales rose 10% during the month at GM and Ford, and spiked 30% for Chrysler. Shares of Ford rose 1.7%, while GM's stock edged up 0.7%.
Meanwhile, shares of Eastman Kodak (EK, Fortune 500) slid 14%, a day after the company received a mixed ruling on the company's patent infringement suit against Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) and Research in Motion (RIMM).
Cablevision (CVC, Fortune 500) spun off AMC Networks (AMCX), known for popular hits like "Mad Men." AMC started trading on the Nasdaq Friday under the ticker "AMCX," and shares fell 8%. Cablevision shareholders are getting one share of AMC Networks for every four shares of Cablevision.
World markets: European stocks ended modestly higher. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.7%, the DAX in Germany and France's CAC 40 added 0.6%.
Asian markets ended the session mixed. The Shanghai Composite ticked down 0.1%, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong soared 1.5% and Japan's Nikkei added 0.5%.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar fell against the euro and the British pound, but gained ground versus the Japanese yen.
Oil for August delivery slipped 48 cents to settle at $94.94 a barrel.
Gas prices snapped a 27-day streak of declines Friday. The price of regular unleaded gasoline increased nine tenths of a cent to $3.550 a gallon, according to motorist group AAA.
Gold futures for August delivery fell $20.20 to settle at $1,482.60 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury edged lower, pushing the yield up to 3.20% from 3.16% late Thursday.

By ELWOOD K. SHELTON
Daily Press writer
Taking the high road can be rewarding, even if you lose.
For coach Tom St. Louis, it was a proud moment watching his team take the high road against the yellow-card happy Glenwood Springs Demons. The Demons racked up a total of four yellow cards in Saturday's game, with the Bulldogs ignoring their antics and focusing on playing their game.
"There was some trash talking going on by Glenwood, and it had been the same way the first time the two teams met," St. Louis said. "I was proud of my guys for not retaliating, even though they were in a position to be frustrated."
The potential for frustration was there for the Bulldogs, who trailed the Demons throughout the game, and eventually lost 3-1 in the regular season's final game.
The Bulldogs' only goal came from a near-post shot by junior Brad Hurd. Hurd worked the ball down the side of the field toward a low-corner shot, which found its way past the Demons' goalie.
The Demons rallied to score three times, although the points were earned less than favorably.
"Really, Brandon (Duarte) was doing a good job in goal," junior Eric Havrilla said. "It was just some shots which were cheap in the fact they weren't good goal shots Glenwood just kind of snuck them past Brandon."
Aside from the cheap shots on goal and the single point scored by Hurd, the Bulldogs mounted a good offensive attack, which has become a late season trait for the team.
What has made offensive aggression possible for the Bulldogs is the metamorphisis of individual players into a team. It has been the increased amount of confidence and the unselfish way teammates rely on each other that has made the team connection possible.
"We just ended up playing more like a team at the end of the year," Havrilla said. "We were connecting more, and not hesitating in passing the ball. Since we were getting more offensive attacks, it was taking a lot of pressure off the defense."
Although the Bulldogs will slip out of the 2001 season winless, there is still optimism and pride welling in the team and its coach.
First-year coach St. Louis sees success abounding from his team, although the record may not show it.
"Judging from how the boys played at the beginning of the year, to how they played at the end, there isn't an aspect of the game they haven't improved on," he said. "The fact that they never gave up, even when behind, just makes me proud of what the guys have done this year."
The Bulldogs share their coach's attitude of success in certain areas of this season, and feel they have grown closer as a team. But the players feel there are areas which need improvement.
"Right now, the shot on goals we take are okay but we need to work on how we control the ball," Havrilla said. "We need to be able to transition better, and maybe loosening up on the man to man defense might help."
The Bulldogs will try to iron out the finite points of their game this winter, and will be joined by the Lady Bulldogs in doing so. St. Louis is in the process of reserving gym time for both teams, and plans to hold two practices a week. He will also supplement practice time with the weight conditioning.
"I just want our teams to get better every year, and I want to develop as a coach," St. Louis said. "There's programs out there which have had winless years, and in a season's time turned it all around to start winning, I feel this team could do the same at anytime."

Enrollment: | 11 |
Study Start Date: | December 2011 |
Study Completion Date: | October 2013 |
Primary Completion Date: | October 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Prednisone + Pyridostigmine
Drug: Prednisone
Prednisone will be adjusted based on combined measures of tolerability and efficacy. Capsules will contain 10mg of prednisone.
Other Name: Steroid
Placebo Comparator: Placebo + Pyridostigmine
Matched, inactive substance
Drug: Placebo
Placebo dosages will be adjusted based on combined measures of tolerability and efficacy. Capsules will contain matching placebo.
Other Name: Sugar pill
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to learn two things about prednisone in patients with ocular myasthenia. The first thing we aim to learn is whether or not prednisone is effective in improving the symptoms of double vision and drooping eyes that are experienced by patients with ocular myasthenia. The second thing we aim to learn is whether we can find a dose of prednisone that is well tolerated and safe. The overall goal is to find out whether a dose of prednisone that is safe and well tolerated is also effective in improving the symptoms of ocular myasthenia.
After completing screening assessments to confirm eligibility, all participants will receive treatment with pyridostigmine. If a participant's symptoms do not resolve within the first month while being treated with pyridostigmine, they will be randomized to receive prednisone or placebo. The amount of study medication a participant receives will depend on how their symptoms respond to the medication and if they experience any side effects.
After four months, participants that continue to have symptoms of ocular myasthenia and do not have side effects will receive open label high dose prednisone. Participants that no longer have symptoms will taper their dose of study drug in a double-blind fashion.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Weakness confined to the extra-ocular muscles, eyelid levator and eye closure with an ocular-QMG1 score ≥ 1
