Application of the Month: KSpread
Still really needs...
better lookup support. Or, at least based on the last time I looked, lookup support at all. But it has promise.

Re: Still really needs...
Er, what exactly do you mean when you say "lookup support"?
By Inge Wallin at Mon, 2005/03/07 - 6:00am
Re: Still really needs...
Lookup tables, so I can do VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP like in Excel or Gnumeric. If I need to be able to sum multiple attributes of the same list, e.g. (since I can't think of a better example right now) the price and weight of an order, the obvious way to do this is with a lookup table, and I have a few Excel spreadsheets that use them heavily. I also need the SUMIF function, but I imagine that will be implemented soon since it's probably a trivial hack to COUNTIF which is already implemented. But lookups are a bit more complex.
By mikeyd at Mon, 2005/03/07 - 6:00am
Re: Still really needs...
Why, SUMIF already exists in latest CVS. ;)

Bugs in KOffice?
How good is KOffice when it comes to bugs?
Featurewise, KOffice seems to be pretty Ok. But how much of the bugs have been eliminated?
By Kdeuser at Mon, 2005/03/07 - 6:00am
Re: Bugs in KOffice?
well, I dunno how many bugs they did squash lately, but for me it became quite stable over time. it used to crash now and then, but that seems to be alot less common...

Pretty good. We have some of the best bugs around.

What about KChart?
Hey! He could have mentioned KChart that goes nicely along with KSpread. That would have been nice to show in the article as well.
By Inge Wallin at Mon, 2005/03/07 - 6:00am
Re: What about KChart?
Are you sure it would've been a good idea to mention KChart? Have you ever used it? I tried to do some simple things, like creating a chart from columns, which is IMPOSSIBLE! I had to reformat my data to be in rows in order to create a chart. Then I thought I could print my charts... Ha! The chart appeared somewhere in the middle of my sheet, covered up some data, and was the size of a thumbnail. In short, KChart can be made to look nice in an example but is otherwise unusable! In case you wonder, there are bug reports about the stuff I mentioned but KChart is more or less abandonware, I don't think anybody is working on it and it's just over my head to fix these problems. I had to switch to Openoffice Calc eventually.
By ac at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: What about KChart?
I think that if you go into bugzilla and look up KChart you will find a completely different story. I have been fixing KChart for the last couple of weeks, and it is getting really usable. It is most certainly *not* abandonware. The bug count is down to 7 bugs now and shrinking steadily. Things are looking good for the upcoming release of KOffice 1.4.
Btw, it's funny that you mention the rows vs. columns issue. I commited the final fix for that just 10 minutes ago. :-)
But if you only look at the 1.3 series, I can understand how you feel.

I didn't realize that somebody picked up KChart, I tried it last year. Many thanks for your work and I'm looking forward to KOffice 1.4! I'll definitely give KChart another shot then (OOo is just so slooowww). Please also make sure that charts can be printed properly! That was the thing which finally drove me to OOo.
By ac at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: What about KChart?
Will do.
In fact, I wasn't aware of the problem until you mentioned it here. However, I suspect that it is a problem with KSpread, not KChart. KChart just prints into the area that it receives. I will try to make sure it works, wherever the problem lies.
By Inge Wallin at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am

?? Koffice 1.4 has been nearly unusable until 10 minutes before?
Probably the version number is a off-by-one-bug, too, maybe it should read 0.4 ;-)
But hey, even the chartengine of Openoffice does suck very badly, so Koffice shlould be quite comparable (oh, sorry, "komparable") to Openoffice.
By Xedsa at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: Strange
Well, KOffice 1.4 is not out yet. The current official release is 1.3.5, and I think the version number of the code in CVS is 1.3-post.

Good to See KOffice Still Progressing
Although I can't use KOffice for much of what I do due to compatibility reasons with other places I use computers, I love to see it progressing so well. When OpenOffice was released, it seemed likely that the competing open-source office suites would just die away, which would have been a huge shame. OpenOffice is only a clone of MS-Office and doesn't seem to have much hope of growing beyond that. Also, OpenOffice is wildly slow, especially on load times. KOffice has been built right from the ground-up and is staying snappy and easy to use as it adds features, rather than bloating as other office suites have.
Only a year ago, KSpread was, as far as I was concerned, completely unusable due to bugs, crashiness, and featurelessness. Now, it's approaching the point where I can just open it up and get working on whatever I need to. Thanks for all the great work!

KOffice 1.4
Koffice 1.4 appears promising, at least until OOo 2.0 :p Seriously though, will KOffice 1.4 be in KDE 3.4? Sure has a nice ring to it :)

maintainer ?
Reading the interview, it is clarified (that otherwise is obvious regarding the bug history for last two years) that L.Montel is not a maintainer of Kspread. In the interview, there is no words about Kspread. He is neither focusing nor slightly interested in Kspread.
Recently Inge Wallin has taken the charge of Kspread (as it is visible in the bug statistics). It is highly wellcomed that there, finally, is someone who fixes (sometimes 3 years old) bugs. I would have a warning to the developer: the big flow of bug reports will raise after the point the Kspread quality reach the usability level and a lot of people begin to use it.
By devians at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: maintainer ?
Regarding the interview, I think you are a bit unfair to Laurel. He answers the questions from the interviewer, and they are not all of them focused on KSpread. To say that he is not interested in KSpread is of course ridiculous. I can only assume that you used stronger words here than you actually intended.
When you say that I have taken charge of KSpread, I assume that you mean KChart. I have not done much job on KSpread. I actually tried to start with fixing KSpread bugs, but the code base was simply too big to get an easy grasp on, so I had to start out with something smaller, i.e. KChart. I will go back to KSpread, though, once KChart is in a workable shape.
(At this point, I think I will make a wish: Please create a simple document that describes the classes in KSpread, and how they interact. I don't mean proper class documenation; just something that very superficially describes what each of the main classes is supposed to do. I did something similar for Kreversi in kdegames when I tried to figure that program out, and it helped me tremendously when working on the program.)
Back to the main topic. There is one thing that I fully agree with you on: The tendency of many developers to focus on new features instead of fixing bugs. For me, a powerful program with many bugs is worse than a smaller program that works well. I hate to see a program with lots and lots of small, unnecessary bugs. I try to attack the simplest one first, and then continue from there. That is how I started out with KChart, and that is how I will tackle KSpread.
To be fair to the KSpread people, there _are_ a lot of bugs that look simple on the surface, but that actually are pretty difficult to fix. There is currently a big rewrite of the internals going on to make KSpread faster, use less memory and be more scalable. Such a big rewrite of the internals make the surface (the visible parts) suffer, as it were, but in the long run it is necessary. But still, I think that there are a number of irritating bugs that should simply be fixed before any attempts are done to do other things.
By Inge Wallin at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: maintainer ?
In addition the interview did not mention that Laurent has done most of the work with moving the whole KOffice to the OASIS format.
By Morty at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: maintainer ?
Thanks for your reply.
Turning to more enjoyable points: the question if fixing a bug is simple or not, depend on the fact, how familiar you are with the code. Sometimes a really simple change takes you several days or weeks, if first you have to 'learn' the code and find the proper location of interaction. I used the word simply in the sense that 'looks simple'. There are obviously hard bugs whose fixing involves the 'treating' of several parts of the code.
I was glad to read, that some rewriting is in progress in the background.
By devians at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
OpenOffice 2.0 series is a giant leap.
KSpread: When will it adopt the OO-fileformat as default?
From a user perspective I think what really matters for users are nice document templates for everyday business, not special features.
I would like to see a kde-template community emerge just as kde-look and kde-apps. What users makes happy are birthday greeting cards printing solutions. What users make stick to a program are useful documents you cannot live without.
By gerd at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: Openoffice
KSpread: When will it adopt the OO-fileformat as default?
IMHO: Import/Export should be enough, otherwise you may be forced to include same features as OO, at the same time they are included there, On the other hand, if you want to include a feature, you would require OO to include it... this can be crazy.
By Philippe Fremy at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: Openoffice
That's been decided a long time ago. It's just a question of when the move will be completed.
It's not the (old) OOo file format but the one standardised at OASIS. Both OpenOffice and KOffice developers have worked together defining it. I don't think either project wants to make proprietary extensions to the format. But still, the point you bring up is an interesting one. I wonder how this common format will work out with respect to unimplemented features in either of the office suites.
By cm at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: Openoffice
> Import/Export should be enough
Take example of a person X, who don't know much about computers but uses Linux (with KDE and KOffice as default). He creates a documents (in default file format) and sends it to his friend who dont know Linux. Since KOffice does not work with windows/MacOS, his friend will never be able to view the document.
On the other hand, OASIS is a more widely accepted standard. I think, KOffice should use OASIS file format as default.
By nilesh at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: Openoffice
Ahh! the famous made up usercase of the imbecile users, always a winner. But let us now tie this to the real world please. The windows/MacOS user who gets documents she/he cannot open will send a reply to our Linux using friend informing him of the fact(In the case she/he are actually interrested in what the person sent in the first place). If our friend need to get the information to his friend, he will most likely try to find out a way to do so. He will then discover either how to print as pdf or how to save as a format his friend can access, in the process learning something and then becoming a user not usable in this kinds of examples.
On the other hand, OASIS will not do any difference, since most likely the friend on windows/MacOS does not have anything installed to deal with that format either. With MS-office still being the "standard" office application for windows/MacOS users, and MS-office does not do OASIS. Being "a more widely accepted standard" does not make MS-office handle it any better than KOffice documents.
By Morty at Tue, 2005/03/08 - 6:00am
Re: Openoffice
I recently had to mail a jobbing printer an image of a cross for a funeral card; I mailed it as .jpg and .eps. The printer mailed me back that they couldn't open it and could I just resend it as a Word document? I swallowed all my pride (in view of the melancholy occasion) and created a Word document with the image inline. In KWord. They could read it... Other Windows users have sent me panicky mails that there was something binary in my mails that they couldn't read and was it a virus? It was my digital signature...
So, you're right, even the most clueless of Windows users will mail you back telling you they cannot open your attachment. And in the end, the only they'll know how to open is a Word document.

One feature missing for me..
There is only one thing that is keeping me from using Kspread right now. I don't even know what the feature is called, but it works in both Gnumeric and OpenOffice.org.
My parts supplier sends me price lists in xls format, and for a few parts there will be a cell that has a little arrow in the corner. If I hold the mouse over this arrow, a little balloon help thingy will open up giving me some extra information. On my parts lists it is usually useful stuff like promotions (Buy 5 get 1 free, free Targus case with laptop). With KSpread I miss this information, so I am stuck with Gnumeric's great functionality and truly HIDEOUS file dialogs.

What's New in Water Heating?
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2012 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 02, 2012
Over the past year, you may have seen advertisements or promotions for new "hybrid electric" water heaters that use less than half as much energy as traditional electric-resistance water heaters. What are these products, and do they really save so much energy? These hybrid water heaters, also known as heat pump water heaters (HPWHs), are not entirely new, but they have not sold widely in the past. Earlier products, produced by small niche-market manufacturers, have proven unreliable, and the market for them has been limited. Recently, several manufacturers—including General Electric, Rheem, A.O. Smith, Stiebel-Eltron, and AirGenerate—have entered the HPWH market.

With or without justification, many adolescents consider themselves to be adults, capable of choosing their own paths and making their own choices. However, when it comes to adolescent healthcare, parents should continue to be actively involved in the choice of providers and settings.
Finding the Right Doctor
Some families wonder who their adolescent should see for primary care. A pediatrician? Family doctor? Internist? The truth is, there is no single right answer.
Most pediatricians will continue to see children throughout their adolescence, and sometimes even through college. Family doctors see patients at all stages of life, from babyhood to old age. Internists are primarily doctors for adults and may be a good choice for older adolescents without a pre-existing pediatrician or family doctor.
Remember that the personal and professional qualities of a doctor, and their skills in working with both of you are far more important than their title.
The Adolescent Health Check
Adolescents should visit their primary care physician on a regular basis. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations recommend annual visits. When you make the visit, you can expect:
- Measurements of height, weight, and blood pressure
- Monitoring of general growth and pubertal development
- Screening tests for vision and hearing if there are problems
- Any needed immunizations or boosters
- Evaluation relevant to chronic medical conditions (asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, acne, depression, among others) indicated by family history, past medical history, or findings on examination
As children get older and move into adulthood, the doctor visits will start to include:
- Discussions of school performance, peer relationships, and future plans
- Risk assessments and preventive guidance regarding mental health, injury, substance use, sexuality, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, nutrition, exercise, and sports participation
- Immunization for human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Testing for sexually transmitted diseases in those who are sexually active
Private Time
Although young children need their parents in the room for reassurance and to provide good medical history information, adolescents need some private time alone with their doctor. Some parents feel concerned about this private time, imagining that this time is being used to divulge secrets of the teen's sexuality or drug use. In the end, teenagers have to begin developing their own relationship and rapport with their doctor, separate from the relationship that may exist between their parents and the doctor. Empowering a child with health responsibility may also encourage them to adopt healthier behaviors.
Furthermore, while some parents do not like to imagine that their children have secret or private aspects to their lives, it is important that the teenager has some time to ask questions or discuss concerns that might be hard to talk about in front of a parent.
Confidential Healthcare Treatment Laws for Adolescents
Laws about an adolescent's right to obtain healthcare without parental consent are set by individual states. Most adolescents receive this right, though only for certain medical concerns or conditions, between the ages of 12 and 15. They are then able to obtain healthcare without parental consent for sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy, substance abuse, and mental health.
Although state laws address the rights of adolescents to confidential healthcare, some doctors—like some parents—do not feel comfortable maintaining the confidentiality of their adolescent patients. It is important to ascertain whether your adolescent's doctor feels certain that they can effectively and confidentially care for your adolescent.
Numerous studies have shown that, if the ultimate goal of both the parent and the doctor is the good health and safety of the adolescent patient, then assurance of confidentiality is crucial to the vast majority of adolescent patients. On the other hand, the doctor should be candid and truthful about the need to break confidentiality if the teenager discloses information that suggests danger.
If your doctor cannot assure basic confidential healthcare for your adolescent, ask for information about an adolescent health clinic or other source of reliable, good, confidential healthcare.
Adolescence is a crucial time for good healthcare. Because both the temptations and the obligations of the larger world are increasingly available to these young people, every adolescent can benefit from supportive adult relationships to help guide them through this exciting, but tumultuous period. A supportive doctor can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Providers monitor the health your teen's growing and changing body and mind, lend a listening ear while your teen navigates the stormy seas of adolescence, and encourage your teen to make safe and healthy choices.

Why Language Designers Tolerate Undefined Behavior
As I promised last week, here is my first example of the tension between theoretical and socially inspired solutions to technical problems in programming-language design. This example dates back to 1980 or so, and concerns a C compiler that was running on a PDP-11, a 16-bit minicomputer that was widely used at the time.
A user of this C compiler had come to the compiler's author with code along the following lines:
int a, b, c; a = /* a value */ b = /* another value */ if ((c = a – b) != 0) { /* do something */ }
The complaint was that the code represented by
/* do something */ was sometimes being executed even when
c was zero. Obviously, this was a compiler bug, right?
To answer this question, we must understand a little about the PDP-11's instruction set. Every add or subtract operation sets a two-bit condition code, which represents one of four possible states: positive, negative, zero, or over/underflow. In other words, when an addition or subtraction overflows or underflows, the condition code reports nothing about the result beyond the fact that it overflowed or underflowed. The PDP-11 also had available an instruction to test the value of a word and set the condition code appropriately.
The compiler was generating the following machine code for this C fragment:
Copy the value of a into a register. Subtract the value of b from the register. Store the register in c. If the condition code indicates "zero," jump around the /* do something */ code.
The third of these instructions, which stores the result of the subtraction in memory, does not affect the condition code; so the jump would occur whenever the condition code indicated that the result was zero. The problem was that if the subtraction overflowed or underflowed, the condition code would indicate as much regardless of the numerical result, so the
/* do something */ code would always be executed, even if the value of
c happened to be zero.
The user's argument was straightforward: "If I write
if ((c = expression) != 0) { /* do something */ }
/* do something */ is executed, I think I have a right to expect that
c will not be zero. After all, that's what I'm explicitly testing for."
The argument on the other side was harder to frame and harder to understand. As a pragmatic matter, the compiler's author could have solved the problem by inserting another instruction between the subtraction and the jump (either before or after the store instruction) to test the value of the register and set the condition code accordingly. However, he did not want to make this change because it would make every such piece of code run more slowly. The question, then, was how to deal with the user's expectation that
c will not be zero if
/* do something */ is executed?
Obviously, he couldn't say that making the code work the way the user expected would make it slower, so he wasn't going to do it. To do so would require an answer to the follow-up question: "You mean it's OK to get the wrong answer if you can do so more quickly?" Accordingly, in order to justify the compiler's actual behavior, it was necessary to argue that the user's expectations were incorrect.
As it happens, this argument is not hard to find. One must merely reframe the question to ask: "What does the user have the right to expect after an overflow?" Although work on the ISO C standard had not even started when this problem came up, there was already a firm sense of the answer, namely "Nothing at all." This answer came from two general design principles behind C:
- The language should impose no unnecessary overhead on the implementation.
- It should be as easy as possible to implement C on a wide variety of hardware.
The PDP-11 had no overhead-free way of checking for integer overflow, because it had no way of telling the processor to check for overflow automatically. Instead, every overflow check required at least one extra instruction, namely a conditional jump based on whether the condition code indicated an overflow. Therefore (1) argued that C should not require an overflow check. Moreover, that there might someday be a C implementation on a computer that always checks for integer overflow, and signals an error condition when overflow occurs. In that case, (2) argued that the implementation should be allowed to pass that error condition on to the user, rather than figuring out how to ignore it.
As a result, the C reference manual had already discussed the notion of undefined behavior, and had said that if a program behaves in an undefined way, then the user has no legitimate expectations at all about the program's behavior. Because of this policy, the compiler's author decided that the compiler's behavior in this case was correct, even though it led to the seemingly nonsensical result of
c being zero even though a comparison had just established that
c was not zero.
This example shows how the tension between theory and practice can yield surprising behavior. Such surprises often come from two circumstances that happen to occur at once:
- The desire to broaden the opportunities for implementation gives latitude to implementors in how their products behave.
- This latitude results in an individual implementation behaving in ways that are sometimes surprising, or even hazardous.
In effect, the desire to define a compiler's behavior in theoretically clean ways conflicts with the practical — i.e., the social — aspects of how people use compilers.
We shall look at another example of this tension between theory and practice next week.

Alabama Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Robert S. Davis and Mary Bess Paluzzi for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
A limited amount of information concerning births and deaths of a few individuals before 1881 is available indirectly from probate court records. Such records include guardianships, apprenticeships, recorded wills, and the various other records maintained in the settlement and division of an estate.
An act of 1881 provided that all births and deaths were to be registered with a county health officer. Later legislation required that these registrations be made within the first five days after the birth or death and required that the county health officer's registry books be deposited with the county probate judge. Such records, when they survive at all, are found today in the individual county probate courts. The date for the beginning of mandatory state-level registration of births and deaths in Alabama is 1 January 1908.
All original birth and death records are now filed with the Alabama Department of Public Health. A fee of $12 is charged for a record search and one certified copy of a certificate. A $4 charge is made for each additional copy requested at the same time. A fee of $15 is required to amend an omission or to amend information that was incorrectly given. Allow six to eight weeks for each request. Certified copies of birth and death certificates may be requested from Alabama Vital Records, P.O. Box 5625, Montgomery, AL 36103-5625.
Birth, death, marriage (1936' ), and divorce (1950' ) records can be obtained at the appropriate Alabama county health department or through the Alabama Center for Health Statistics website at http://ph.state.al.us/chs/VitalRecords/VRECORDS.HTML.
Indexes to Alabama death certificates (1908'59), birth certificates (1917'19), deaths of convicts (1884'1952), and divorce records (1818'64, 1908'37, 1950'59) are widely available on microfilm. They can be ordered through local Family History Centers, which work with the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City. Researchers can access Alabama death certificates (1908'74), marriage records (1936'92), and divorce decrees (1818'64, 1908'92) on microfilm. An index to deaths recorded by Alabama between 1908-1959 is available through www.ancestry.com at Alabama Deaths, 1908-59.
A marriage license has been required since the territorial period in 1799. Marriage licenses were issued by the clerk of the county Orphans' Courts in which the bride resided. After 1850 the orphans' court was superseded by the probate court, which is still charged with the issuance of marriage licenses.
To enter into a marriage contract a man had to be at least seventeen years of age and a woman had to be at least fourteen years of age. If the man was under twenty-one or the woman under eighteen and as yet unmarried, the consent of the parent or guardian of the minor was required before a license could be issued. The marriage of these licensed parties could then be solemnized by a territorial, state, or county judge, an ordained minister, or a justice of the peace. The officiant was then required to file a marriage certificate with the probate judge of the county in which the marriage took place.
Before 1888, a marriage certificate indicated the names of the bride, groom, bondsmen, and officiant along with the license bond and marriage date. Starting in 1910 records may also include the names of parents, physical descriptions, ages and occupations of the parties, the number of previous marriages for each, and the blood relationship, if any, between the parties.
A certified copy of a marriage certificate may be obtained from the probate judge of the county in which the certificate was filed and recorded. A fee is required, and six to eight weeks should be allowed for response to a request.
Ancestry.com has a few collections of marriage records available to subscribers including:
- Alabama Marriage Collection, 1800-1969
- Alabama Marriages, 1809-1920 (Selected Counties)
- Alabama Marriages to 1825
- DeKalb County, Alabama Marriage Index, 1836-1916
FamilySearch.org has a few collections available online for free to the public including:
- Alabama, Births and Christenings, 1881-1930
- Alabama, County Marriages, 1809-1950
- Alabama, Marriages, 1816-1957
- Alabama, Deaths and Burials, 1881-1952
- Alabama, Deaths, 1908-1974
Though divorce decrees were tried in county chancery court until 1865, the state legislature had the exclusive right to finalize all divorce decrees. These early decrees are thus a part of the legislative record and are published in the Senate and House Journals.
After 1865 the county chancery court was authorized to issue final divorce decrees. In 1917 the chancery court was merged with the circuit court of the county. Thus, divorce records from 1819 are maintained among the equity records of the circuit court of the county in which the suit was filed. Though not required by law, several county clerks maintained divorce records separate from other equity files. A certified copy of a divorce certificate may be obtained from the circuit court clerk in the county in which the divorce suit was tried. A fee is required, and six to eight weeks should be allowed for response.
Ancestry.com has an index to approximately 105,000 divorces that were filed in Alabama from 1950-1959. Subscribers can access this database at Alabama Divorce Index, 1950-1959.

This is a first! I'm drawing an animal! This time I'm introducing the feline of the animal kingdom - a cat. This cat is between a kitten and an older cat. I couldn't resist doing this picture because it is from a DevientArt member. I held a contest in my account at DevientArt.com to get permission for using animal photos from original photographers or people so I would not be in copyright infringement. She is one of the two First Place Winners. Her name is Aika-san and she called the picture, "What?" So I can show this photo that is a reference picture. In this tutorial we are going to learn "How to Sketch a Cat." I hope you will enjoy it.

I tried to show this video to the folks that came to the Hill Street Center last weekend. But it didn't work.
This promo concentrates on the sexual stuff. But there's a whole lot more than that going on. And, really, the sex stuff is not even the most interesting or scary aspect as far as I'm concerned. You can find the entire program at the following links:
Part 1
Part 2
I doubt these links will be there for long since I don't think National Geographic authorized them.
The matter of what is and what is not a cult is something that has bugged me for a very long time and will probably continue to bug me for the rest of my life. It's a very key matter to me because of how close I came to joining a very dangerous cult when I was a young spiritual seeker. I've recounted that story so many times regular readers can probably regurgitate it on cue. I even referenced it in the post just below this one. The full story is in my first book Hardcore Zen (follow the link to your left to check it out).
My friend Nina showed me this program a few days ago and my immediate response was to want to burn my kesa and transmission papers, cancel all further classes at Hill Street Center and renounce my status as a monk. I later decided that would be a bit too drastic. But for a good few hours I was thinking hard about it. Especially since people are starting to ask me about doing precepts ceremonies, in which I'm supposed to give them new fake "spiritual names" just like Michael Travesser did with his culties. This kind of thing fills me with a lot of worry.
When I look at a show like this I don't think, "Gosh, look at those weirdos over there. I'm sure glad I'm not like those people!" or even, "Look at that scumbag cult leader. Jeepers, I'm sure glad I'm not like that!" No. I look at these people and I can only see myself on both sides of the equation. It's important, I think, never to see yourself as above or immune to this kind of behavior.
One real important point that often gets lost in examinations of cult behavior is the responsibility of the members of the cult. It's very easy to point fingers at the leader and say he's a sleezebag. But this stuff doesn't just flow in one direction. In order for a cult leader to have power, someone's got to give it to him. It's amazing how willing people are to give up their own power. I've even had people try to give up their power to me -- of all people. Could you find anyone more likely to abuse such power? A good Buddhist teacher will always hand your power right back to you. If you find one who accepts your power, please run away as fast as you can.
Having said that, I have to also say that there are situations where a certain degree of reasonable exchange of power needs to take place. If you live in a monastery or any other form of communal living situation, for example, you need to defer a bit of power to the group and its leadership in order to have things run smoothly. You have to take your shoes off before you step into the zendo, no matter how much you love your brand new Docs. You gotta turn clockwise on your cushion even if you feel deep down in your heart that you just have to turn counter-clockwise.
Everybody talks about the so-called militarism of Japanese Zen. And a bit (not a lot) of that does exist. But because this charge has been leveled so often it's become a cliche, there's a tendency for some people to see everything that happens at a Japanese style Zen monastery or temple as an example of militarism. "Oh my God! They all eat at the same time! So does the army! It's MILITARISM!!" Personally I've never encountered anything I'd call militarism from my teachers or indeed from any teacher or temple I've visited.
At any rate, cults usually work things out so you give up a certain degree of reasonable power at first and only later on are you asked to surrender things that are unreasonable. Clearly giving your wife or daughter to "consummate" with a cult leader who claims to be the Son of God is completely unreasonable, as is being the one who willingly "consummates" with the leader. But we can surmise that this is not how things began. It took a long process to get there.
I can even imagine how it worked from leader Michael Travesser's side. Through a process of skillfully manipulating his thoughts he's convinced himself that he is the Son of God. Yet he finds he wants to get it on with the wives of certain of his parishioners as well as their daughters. This is normal for any human male. I will vouch for that! But the Son of God is not any human male. The Son of God would never have such thoughts, since the Son of God's thoughts are all pure. So Michael has a dilemma. He needs to justify how he can have these thoughts and yet still be the Son of God. If he can't he's got to admit he's not the Son of God. There's a lot riding on this. So he manipulates his thought process again to create a justification for his lust that allows it to be pure. Then he needs to get support for his ideas from the people around him, since their support would legitimize his thinking. He uses the same justifications with them as he has used successfully with himself and voila!
What makes this even worse is that because he believes he's the Son of God and not an ordinary man, he feels he cannot just fantasize about his conquests like a normal guy who lusts after women he shouldn't touch might. He has given his thoughts tremendous power. He feels that he must act upon them. These thoughts aren't just ordinary thoughts. They are the thoughts of the Son of God.
ANYWAY. It's difficult to say exactly where things cross the line from activities and attitudes that constitute legitimate and reasonable giving up of power into the land of cult-like behavior. The whole notion of surrender is highly questionable, I think. I hear that word thrown around in spiritual groups all the time and it always gives me the shivers. As they said in Galaxy Quest, "Never give up! Never surrender!"
Watching this stuff serves to remind me that we can justify absolutely anything with thought. There are no limits. It is vital to understand this. You, and I do mean you, can make anything at all sound reasonable if you twist your brain in just the right way. And yet all of us have a much deeper sense of what is and is not right behavior. This sense is not a matter of thought at all.
This is the sense that will tell you whether what you're dealing with is a cult or not. It's true that all of our major religions, including Buddhism, could have been defined as cults in their early days. It's also true that there are cults based around all of the legitimate religions. Much of any religion's history from its beginnings as a cult to its emergence as a legitimate religion is a process of stripping away its cult-like qualities.
Whatever. I don't have the final answer on this. It's just something I thought was important to share. I'd like to believe Buddhism is immune to cult-dom. But I've seen enough to prove conclusively that it's not. Or maybe I should put that another way. It's possible for a cult to use the phraseology of Buddhism and to call itself "Buddhist." But culty "Buddhism" is not Buddhism at all.

Ferrari GTO is most expensive car ever sold
1963 250 GTO racer acquired by private buyer for $52 million
A 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO racer has become the most expensive car ever sold.
The red competition car, formerly owned by Connecticut collector Paul Pappalardo, was recently acquired by an unidentified buyer for $52 million, according to Bloomberg.
The previous record was held by a 1962 GTO, built for legendary British racer Sir Stirling Moss, which sold last year for $35 million.
The 1963 race car was acquired by Pappalardo in 1974, restored and driven in many historic races, including the 2002 Le Mans Classic, before being sold, Bloomberg reported.
It won the 1963 Tour de France road race with the French driver Jean Guichet at the wheel.
So what makes the 250 GTO so great?
First, there are just 39 in existence. Add in its heritage of racing in competitions like the Le Mans, and the 250 GTO has become somewhat of a status symbol, according to Yahoo! News.

Cougars have nine sophomores and 17 freshmen
This season's edition of Taft College baseball is young but promising.
That's the assessment of head coach Vince Maiocco whose team is scheduled to host College of the Siskiyous today and Barstow tomorrow – weather permitting.
"We have a solid group coming back and some promising newcomers," he said. "I really like this team. I'm anxious to see how they develop."
The Cougars have 9 sophomores and 17 freshmen.
The top returnee has to be pitcher Allen Sanchez, who missed almost all of last season after breaking his ankle in the opening Central Valley Conference game.
"He was arguably the best pitcher in the conference last year," Maiocco said. "We're expecting a lot out of him this season."
Another returning pitcher who will be in the starting rotation is P.J. Matha "who throws hard and is very deceptive."
Matha, at 5-foot-7 the smallest player on the team, was solid last season as a relief pitcher.
"He was very effective last year as a reliever," Maiocco said.
Exactly who emerges as the third starter in the rotation remains a question mark.
The candidates include freshman Brandon Van Stone (Henderson, Nev.), Allan Hancock College transfer Michael Vaquera, and sophomore Matt Gunderson.
Sophomore Brad Smith "could be a closer for us," Maiocco said.
Another promising newcomer is left-hander Kevin Little, who played at Kern Valley High.
"He had a great senior year but developed arm problems," the coach said. "He didn't throw in the fall but if he is healthy he could be pretty good. We'll give him opportunities early and choose our spots."
Maiocco likes the guys who will toil behind the plate.
Sophomore Josh Hickle has the edge from a defensive standpoint with newcomer Adrian Rodriguez swinging a more potent bat.
Getting the start at first base is Taft High product Clint Jorgensen, who has made the move from left field.
"We expect good things from Clint this year," Maiocco said.
Newcomer Shane Sudsbury (Frontier/Bakersfield) has the inside track on the starting second base job and is a solid hitter.
Luis Trinidad returns as the starter at shortstop.
"He hit nearly .300 last year and has stepped up his game defensively," Maiocco said. "He's not flashy but makes the routine plays consistently."
Canadian Roman Testani has a handle on the starting third base position and is expected to be one of the team's more potent hitters.
Another newcomer Maiocco expects a lot out of is centerfielder Travis Tessandori (Tehachapi), who is solid defensively and can swing the bat.
"He's a sparkplug type of kid," the coach said. "He's hard working and capable of being a real team leader."
Sophomore Tyler Meditz will start in left field and newcomer Josh Roelofs (Las Vegas) will get the nod in right and has emerged as one of the team's top hitters. He's being pushed by freshman Pierce Skinner (Tehachapi).
Tyler Adkins, a freshman from Taft High, also is in the mix as an outfielder.

The second single release from Rattle and Hum, Angel of Harlem is an homage to jazz great Billie Holiday and was released in December 1988. Written during The Joshua Tree Tour in 1987, the track was laid down at Sun Studios with The Memphis Horns. Performed with BB King's band, it became one of the stand-out live tracks on The Love Town Tour in 1989.
One version of the 1988 single release was backed by 'A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel' while another included a live version of 'Love Rescue Me' recorded in London at the Hurricane Gilbert benefit show, Smile Jamaica, and also featuring Ziggy Marley and Keith Richards.
'Angel in devil's shoes/ Salvation in the blues..'
The song appears on the Rattle and Hum album and video. A live version can also be found on the Zoo-TV: Live from Sydney video. It was recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis and featured the Memphis Horns. It is dedicated to Billie Holiday and namechecks another jazz luminary, John Coltrane. It was performed live for the first time at the Smile Jamaica concert on October 16, 1988 in London, a benefit for the victims of Hurricane Gilbert.
The following artists have covered the song: the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on Pride: The RPO Plays U2 and Studio 99 on The Best of U2 - A Tribute. The song was nominated for a Grammy for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or TV.
