I am pleased to respond to a special request from the features editor for a column timed with the start of the 2012 Major League Baseball season.
I want to begin with a favorite story about my beloved Chicago Cubs:
A 7-year-old Chicago boy challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.
The boy had been beaten by his parents, and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents, and he adamantly refused to live with her.
When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
And after two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Chicago Cubs, who the boy firmly believed were not capable of beating anyone.
Baseball and religion have much in common.
Both speak about following the right path and warn of consequences for straying.
Both are filled with rituals, ceremonies, and special days.
Both are governed by myriad rules. Both emphasize fundamentals: a player must learn to bunt, slide, and develop hand-eye coordination, just as religion instructs us to apply our faith to the basics of living.
Baseball and religion venerate tradition, emphasize community, and ascribe significance to special foods, be they peanuts and Cracker Jacks or matzah and latkes.
Umpires function like clergy, telling the player when he has transgressed the rules and meting out penance for sinners.
Pitcher Greg Maddux, a Chicago Cub for 10 years, used preparation and control to compensate for lack of an overpowering fast ball. Religion, too, teaches that we should not aspire to overpower others, but that the best accomplishments are won through self-control.
Both religion and baseball preach a simple philosophy.
Satchell Paige had a one-sentence rule of pitching: "Keep the ball away from the bat."
Religion teaches us to keep the person away from the sin.
Both emphasize practice. A player must practice in order to give his best on the field, and the believer must practice his faith to give his best in the game of life.
Religion would ascribe to Yankee great Lefty Gomez's explanation for his success on the mound as a way to succeed in the world: "Clean living and a fast outfield."
Of course, the goal of both baseball and religion is to "come home," the one to round the bases and return to where he started, and the other to return to his original home in heaven.
On Sept. 14, 1986, the San Francisco Giants inserted Bob Brenly, a catcher, at third base to replace their regular third baseman. In the fourth inning, Brenley made an error on a routine ground ball.
Four batters later, he kicked away another grounder. And then, while scrambling after the ball, he threw wildly past home plate in trying to get the runner there, committing two errors on the same play. A few minutes, later he muffed yet another play to allow a total of four unearned runs and to become the first player in the 20th century to hold the dubious record of four errors in one inning.
But in the fifth inning, Brenly hit a solo home run, and in the seventh, he hit a bases-loaded single to tie the score at 6-6. In the bottom of the ninth with two out and the count full, he smashed a massive home-run to win the game.
He was called "the Comeback Player of the Year in one game."
Brenley's score card for that day came to three hits and five at bats, two home runs, four errors, four runs allowed, and four runs driven in, including the game-winning run.
Life is a lot like Brenly's game, a mixture of hits and errors and the opportunity for future redemption. If something bad happens in the fourth inning wait for the fifth, and the seventh, and the ninth innings for something better to come around.
Yes, redemption awaits. Even for the Chicago Cubs!

Surgery may be considered if you have back pain from a herniated disk, spinal stenosis, or sciatica that does not respond to medication or physical therapy. Even though surgery is an option for these conditions, treating them without surgery is better whenever possible. In fact, 90% of people with a herniated disk can be treated without surgery.
Operations that remove all (laminectomy) or part (laminotomy) of the arch of the vertebrae may be used if you have spinal stenosis or some other vertebral abnormality pressing on a nerve. This surgery may also be considered as part of a larger procedure to remove a tumor on the spine. Like diskectomy, many people will feel immediate relief after the procedure. However, recurrent back pain is very common.
This surgical procedure removes the disk that is causing your pain. By doing this, pressure on your spine is relieved. There are now ways to perform this surgery with as little invasion as possible. For example, very small incisions may be used.
While there may be an immediate relief from pain following this operation, it is not clear whether this provides any more long-term improvement than treatment with medications, physical therapy, exercise, and the other measures discussed in this guide.
Following the procedure, you may develop scar tissue, which could cause back pain itself. You will need to do a lot of resting for 3 - 4 days after this surgery. But, it may take 4 - 6 weeks to fully recover.
When motion between two or more vertebrae causes severe pain, your surgeon may recommend spinal fusion. Spinal fusion may also be done, if you have surgery to remove a disk or some bone, to prevent motion from occurring between two vertebrae.
This procedure eliminates motion between the bones of the back by eliminating the joints between the bones and forming a solid bony bridge. This is usually done by using a combination of metal implants, like screws and rods, and grafting bone onto the spine from another part of your body. The bone often comes from your pelvis.
Recovery from this procedure usually takes longer than from diskectomy or laminectomy. Your surgeon may recommend you wear a brace after surgery as the bone heals. This type of surgery is usually for people with chronic back pain that has not responded to other treatments. Spinal fusion may also help people who have instability of the spine, a condition that occurs when the connections between the vertebrae have deteriorated. The procedure allows vertebrae to slide back and forth against each other.
The artificial disk is a newer method of spine surgery. This implanted device is an alternative to fusion for some people.
Sometimes, a degenerated disk that is causing back pain needs to be removed through surgery. However, when a disk is removed, the vertebrae in that area of the spinal column must be re-connected. Typically, surgeons will use spinal fusion to reconnect the vertebrae, which eliminates motion between the vertebrae. The artificial disk, however, preserves motion between the vertebrae.
While experts believe there are many advantages to preserving motion, no long-term studies prove that replacing a disk with an artificial one is better than spinal fusion. Some surgeons are waiting for the results of more research, particularly longer-term follow-up of more patients to make sure there are no serious complications, before recommending this new technology.

It's adventitious that you should reference the GoldenEye 007 Original Soundtrack. Because incidentally, I have uploaded a video clip with the theme from the Mutiplayer Beta Testing Level known as "Citadel. This map was not released in the final version.
I will compile a list of my favorite music from a variety of video games

i mostly listen to final fantasy music, especially FFVII thru FFX...
i like a lot of old nintendo music too, somewhat from teh nostalgia factor but even some music from classic games i've played as an adult (like zelda link to the past) have stuck with me
Correct. :-D

My main line of research relates to the dynamical simulations in networks. Therefore, I deal daily with very large data sets corresponding to the output of my network simulation models. Visualizing these data sets is always a challenge.
I am always on the lookout for interesting software to help me accomplish that. The latest one I came across is GUESS, which only features in this blog because it was partially developed in Jython.
One feature which attracted my attention is the possibility of adapting some of their example applets written in Jython to work with my data sets. Let's see how this goes. For those of you who are curious, here is a screenshot:

David Gelphman, former software engineer at Apple, shares a very personal, very human interaction with the late Steve Jobs:
In March 2010, just a couple of weeks before the iPad was due to be released publicly, I had a reason to contact Steve. A friend of mine was dying of liver disease and I was going to San Francisco to hopefully see and communicate with her while it was still possible. She was a friend from my Adobe days and was very much into technology. I thought it would be a treat for her to see an iPad. And I had one. But until the product was officially released I could not show it to anyone without permission from Apple management. [...]
So I wrote Steve:

When dealing with files in Thunar, I find myself using the keyboard more often than not, and find the context-menu key (the "right click key") very useful to quickly do things like "open with", etc. However, when I select a file with the keyboard and hit the context-menu, the menu appears wherever the mouse happens to be, instead of on the file. Since the mouse is just in some arbitrary place, it does mean that whenever I open the context menu I have to hunt around to see where it opened up. I would much rather it open up where the file is, but I haven't found an option for how to do this.
This seems to be fairly specific to Thunar:
- in Firefox, Chrome, gedit, pidgin, open office, etc., the context menu appears wherever the cursor is.
- in Thunar, the context menu appears under the mouse, wherever it happens to be.
How do I configure context menus on files to always appear where the file is, instead of where the mouse is?

Although I never use the key, I tried it after seeing your post and can not replicate the behavior you are seeing. I wonder if it is a keyboard problem. Might it help to try remapping the command
xfdesktop --menu
in Settings Manager > Keyboard?
MX-18 (based on Debian Stable) with Xfce 4.12.
My little collection: Xfce Tidbits
Working fine for me.
Linux Mint 17 Xfce
Lenovo IdeaPad U410
To clarify, I am not talking about the XFCE menu.
In Thunar, if you right-click a file, you get a context-menu with things like "open with", "properties", etc etc. You can also get this menu by selecting the file (either with the keyboard or with the mouse) and hitting a key on your keyboard, usually a key that looks kind of like a context menu (this guy: http://i.stack.imgur.com/sgzBP.jpg).
Expected behavior: this menu appears on the file (http://i.imgur.com/Kpk18uk.png)
In Thunar (for me): this menu appears under the mouse (http://i.imgur.com/FVhRwqz.png)
I'm on an unmodified xfce4 install on Gentoo

Republicans are fans of Uber, the fast-growing car service that's upending the taxi industry.
The National Republican Committee on Wednesday sent out emails asking people to sign a petition in support of Uber. The company has faced growing opposition in some parts of the country from taxi drivers and local politicians who want to protect the status quo.
It's no secret why Republicans want to associate themselves with Uber's fight. For one thing, the company represents an example of innovation and entrepreneurship that conservatives have long touted as a key to economic prosperity. That's a message they hope can resonate in a period of abnormally slow U.S. growth.
Even more critical, young people are the biggest supporters of Uber. Republicans need to attract more young people to win state and national elections, a lesson reinforced by Barack Obama's political success. He was propelled into office in 2008 and kept there in 2012 in large part because of the youth vote.
For the most part, the resistance faced by Uber has come from Democratic lawmakers in big cities such as Boston, Chicago or New York where the party is dominant – a fact Republicans are only too happy to point out.
"Across the country, taxi unions and liberal government bureaucrats are setting up roadblocks, issuing strangling regulations and implementing unnecessary red tape to block Uber from doing business in their cities," the Republican petition asserts.
Earlier this year, Republican Marco Rubio took the lead in his party by launching a public defense of Uber. The U.S. senator from Florida is a likely contender for the White House in 2016. Watch Rubio talk to MarketWatch about Uber.
While many local politicians are reluctant to bash Uber for fear of a public backlash, they still aren't ready to let companies like Uber and Lyft kill off the century-old taxi industry. Taxi services pay large sums for licensing and other government fees and the growing success of "ride-sharing companies could curtail tax revenue.
Other critics have also raised concerns about safety after several highly publicized episodes in which Uber drivers have been accused of robbing or even raping their passengers.

Investment Company Act of 1940 — Sections 2(a)(4), 2(a)(9) and 15(a)
IM Ref. No. 2009414941
Your letter dated April 14, 2009 requests our assurance that we would not recommend enforcement action to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") under section 15(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") against Iridian Asset Management LLC ("Iridian") if Iridian continues to serve as the investment adviser to First Eagle Fund of America, Inc. (the "Fund") without shareholder approval under the extraordinary circumstances described in your letter. You state that Iridian is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland ("Bank"). By letter dated April 2, 2009, we granted similar relief under section 15(a) of the Act to Bank of Ireland Asset Management (U.S.) Limited, another wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.1
You state that, as a result of the global financial turmoil, the Irish government announced on February 11, 2009 its agreement to specific terms to recapitalize the Bank ("Bank Recapitalization"). You state that, pursuant to the Bank Recapitalization, the Irish government will acquire newly issued securities that will give it 25% of the voting rights with respect to the appointment of directors of the Bank. You also state that the Bank Recapitalization gives the Irish government certain additional rights, such as a special right to directly appoint Bank directors and warrants to acquire a potentially larger equity interest in the Bank. You state that the Bank Recapitalization may have resulted in a change of control of Iridian, an assignment of Iridian's investment advisory agreement with the Fund ("Advisory Agreement") within the meaning of section 2(a)(4) of the Act, and an automatic termination of the Advisory Agreement pursuant to its terms and section 15(a)(4) of the Act.
You state that, prior to the completion of the Bank Recapitalization on March 31, 2009, the board of directors of the Fund ("Board"), including a majority of the disinterested directors, met in person and approved Iridian continuing to serve as investment adviser to the Fund under a written agreement on materially the same terms and conditions as the Advisory Agreement ("Continuance"). You state that the Continuance relates to emergency measures by the Irish government that are designed to reinforce the stability of Ireland's financial system and ensure that the capital ratios of major Irish banks would meet the current market expectations of international investors.
You also state that the Irish government's announcement of the Bank Recapitalization emphasized that the government does not intend to take control of the Bank. You state that the Bank Recapitalization will not result in any substantive changes to the terms of the Advisory Agreement or in the day-to-day personnel providing services under the Advisory Agreement. You state that the Bank and Iridian have advised the Fund's Board that the costs of soliciting proxies and holding shareholder votes on the Continuance outweigh any potential benefit to shareholders of taking such actions. You also state that the Fund will provide its shareholders with notice of the Bank Recapitalization by issuing a press release and posting that release on the Fund's website. You also state that the Fund will include information about the Bank Recapitalization in its next semi-annual or annual report to shareholders following the Bank Recapitalization.
Based on the facts and circumstances described in your letter, and in particular the circumstances surrounding the Irish government's action, we would not recommend enforcement action to the Commission under section 15(a) of the Act against Iridian if Iridian serves as the investment adviser to the Fund under a Continuance that has not been approved by the vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. Our conclusion is based solely on the facts, circumstances and representations set forth in your letter, and any different facts, circumstances or representations might require a different conclusion. This response expresses the staff's position on enforcement action only and does not represent any legal conclusions regarding the matters discussed herein.

Joan Rivers Blasts Jennifer Lawrence: 'She Needs to Grow Up + Realize How Lucky She Is'
Joan Rivers, a big-mouthed and outspoken co-host of 'Fashion Police,' took aim and fired on Oscar-winner, the lovably neurotic and impeccably dressed – usually in Dior — Jennifer Lawrence.
Rivers blasted J. Law, saying she needs to be more mature, among other things. It was retaliation for J. Law saying that the comedienne's show makes it okay to judge people.
Rivers barked, "My New Year's resolution is [ensuring] Jennifer Lawrence grows up and realizes how lucky she is and calms down."
We're not sure how J. Law isn't grateful or appreciative of her success. She comes across as very down to earth and incredibly real in the way she lets her neurosis hang out while her body is cloaked in faboosh Dior frocks.
J. Riv continued, "I love that she's telling everyone how wrong it is to worry about retouching and body image, and meanwhile, she has been touched up more than a choir boy at the Vatican. Look at her posters. She doesn't have a nose, she has two holes. She just has to learn, don't talk if you're doing it."
Hmmm, that's a suspect accusation and a really insanely low rent comment about the Catholic Church. In reality, J. Law likely has nothing to do with creating posters for her films and it's likely she does not have the final say in how they are digitally enhanced, color corrected or Photoshopped.
Lady Gaga ignited a feud with Sharon and Kelly Osbourne over a body image controversy on 'Fashion Police.' Kelly O. is also a co-host on the show, so it's not the first time the style cops have been taken to task.

With a law degree under his belt, the career-conscious Lt. Daniels was once on the fast track to becoming a major, and after that, quite possibly a colonel, deputy commissioner or higher. But all that changed when McNulty compelled Judge Phelan to take an interest in the Barksdales. The bosses tapped Daniels to lead a fast, straightforward - and above all, limited - investigation. Daniels understood his charge, but faced with the realities of what was required to pursue the Barksdale case, he found himself drawn inexorably toward a wiretap that his superiors did not want. And when the investigation started to target the money trail, Daniels got behind his unit and jeopardized his career by defying Commissioner Burrell's order to shut it down.
This strained his marriage to his politically ambitious and well-connected wife, Marla, who feared that everything they'd worked and waited for was on the line - especially after Burrell threatened to reveal a long-buried corruption scandal that occurred during the lieutenant's early days in Eastern District. Daniels ignored the threat and brought in the Barksdale case, though Burrell exacted his revenge in the end - assigning Daniels to clerk duty in the evidence room.
That turned out to be short-lived, as another case soon required his attention: Major Valchek's petulant feud with dockworkers' union boss Frank Sobotka over a window donated to a Roman Catholic church in the city's Polish neighborhood. Valchek demanded that Daniels lead his anti-corruption probe of the dockworkers local on the basis of his son-in-law's recommendation. Happy to be out of the evidence room, Daniels agreed. But the probe became meaningful when it tied into drug smuggling, human trafficking and murder. After bringing in some arrests on that second case, Daniels was given a permanent wiretap detail, and set his sights on the Barksdale organization once again. This time, the unit made good on years of police work. Despite constant setbacks, Daniels finally made the rank of major, and did it his own way.
But it wasn't fast enough for his wife, and the marriage broke apart. For a time, Daniels pretended otherwise to allow Marla to better run for city council with her husband on her arm. But eventually, Daniels found a new romance with A.S.A. Rhonda Pearlman, and with Mayor Thomas "Tommy" Carcetti now backing Daniels' ascent through the department, the pair appear on the verge of becoming a power couple.

It took me some time to post up chapter 4 mostly because I had to rewrite this shit 3 times in a row and it was a pain in the ass! Thank goodness my recent dream has given me an idea for this chapter so I was finally able to finish it! Everyone I would like you to meet my favorite character besides Jayden named Jamie. He plays a huge role in the story and I love his personality and I sure hope you do as well! You can now post your feedback in the feedback section located here [click]
So I finally got chapter 3 up and running. After two back to back action like chapters it's time to relax and chill at the best ramen noodles in town! I hope you guys enjoy the relaxing chapter and getting to know Prince Edward and another supporting character! This chapter is now ready for feedback! You can check it out at the feedback section here [click]
So today at work was normal
other than me fucking up woth the microwave... we shall not talk about that.so I went to go get lunch at Burger King which is about 2 minutes away. I get stuck at a light for 7 minutes and right when I drove down the street to turn at my job a cop drove by with their lights going off. Than I saw firefighters and a big cloud as if there was an explosion all over the place.
So I rushed into my building and it turns out the power was out so Im just like
This was such a struggle and I'm so glad that I got it done! I went ahead and made my first feedback blog the main feedback section. You can post your feedback for chapter 2 there. I was reminded of how much I've enjoyed Oliver. He was always known to be the serious type with a laid-back personality. His goofy side tends to throw everyone off the radar when he gets serious but this time he was in something he wasn't comfortable with so him screaming and running around like a wuss was beautiful!
Hey guys how is it going? I'm in the progress of chapter 2 as we speak. I'm on page 7 out of who knows how many pages. I might make this a long one depending on how this mission goes. It's going to take me a little bit to post it since I want to polish the chapter. After this it should be rather easy sailing from here. The other chapters are nice and fresh from my memory but chapter 2 is from 2013 memory so it's going to take me some time to make this look good. So far I came up with a list of 7

This week, Catholic cardinals are gathering in the world's smallest country to set about the task of making the biggest news on earth. Their job: choose the leader of the world's largest Christian faith. Under the soaring work of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, they will consider the future of a troubled church at a conclave expected to begin within days.
We don't know exactly what happens in these secretive meetings, if there's yelling or note-passing, moments of laughter, or hours of tedium. But it is clear that certain things are verboten, at least if they're blatant: politicking, horse-trading, and self-promotion.
Still, this is a political process. Why does the church choose popes this way? How influential are Italian cardinals? And is this even a good system in the first place?
For answers, I turned to Frederic J. Baumgartner, professor of history at Virginia Tech and author of 2003's "Behind Locked Doors: A History of Papal Elections."
Q: A conclave is actually a form of democracy, isn't it? How did popes begin to be chosen by a group of men?
A: In the early church, the Christian community as a whole chose the bishop. It wasn't a process of election as such, or at least what we'd call an election. It was a system of acclamation. Someone said, "I'd like to be bishop," and they were chosen by consensus.
Over time, it evolved into a system in which the clergy of the city had the right to choose the bishop. The problem was that once the Holy Roman Empire became powerful, it was able to manipulate the clergy. In the 900s and early 1000s, the choice was really that of the emperor: He chooses the pope and the clergy does the rubber stamping.
The decision was made in 1059 to take the clergy of Rome out of the system and have the chief bishops of Italy do the choosing, primarily as a way of reducing the Holy Roman emperor's influence. But his influence was never eliminated by any means until the disappearance of the Austrian emperor after World War I.
Q: How influential were the wishes of Catholic rulers from powerful countries like France and Spain?
A: They had the right of exclusion. There were times when cardinals came up from Paris or Madrid or Vienna with a list of cardinals that their rulers would not accept.
There were always those cardinals who said, 'We shouldn't pay any attention to those guys.' But a majority of cardinals agreed there would be too much of a schism if they supported someone who was opposed by a Catholic ruler.
Q: We know about the many craven popes of the distant past. How did this system produce such scoundrels?
A: Certainly part of the problem was the choices: They were choosing bad popes because they had bad cardinals.
Renaissance cardinals were basically Renaissance popes in miniature, little different than the popes they elected. They were wealthy, had children, and politicked like crazy in their city states, kingdoms, or countries.
They were basically making bad choices because there was nothing to choose from but bad choices. There were two popes in the 16th century who were pious men and outside the realm of Renaissance popes, but they both had short reigns.
Q: How does the voting work now?
A: You have to get a two-thirds majority. And you can't vote for yourself.
The way they used to check on that has disappeared, so that may not be enforceable anymore. You used to have to put a motto on your ballot, and they'd check it. The story is that when Benedict XV became pope [in 1914], he was elected by the minimum number. One cardinal demanded that the ballots be checked to make sure he didn't vote for himself, and that apparently deeply offended him.
Q: What if it takes a long time to reach a conclusion?
A: It's taken years, actually, and once it took three years to elect a pope. They finally locked the cardinals in a palace to force them to make a decision. And when they still didn't make a decision, the local people are supposed to taken the roof off the palace. Someone humorously said it was to let the holy spirit in.
Q: Could that happen this time? Could they take off the roof?
A: They'd probably do too much damage to the Sistine Chapel.
Q: Good point. How do the cardinals make choices if politicking is frowned upon?
A: They can't openly politick for each other or themselves. A cardinal can't go have a dinner meeting with three or four of his fellow cardinals and say, "Vote for me," and one of his friends can't do that. That kind of open politicking is specifically barred.
What you can do is talk about the cardinals and what their beliefs and opinions are. Someone like Cardinal George of Chicago who doesn't spend much time in Rome might be talking to someone who's based in the curia to find out about the strong candidates, what their views are, what their health is, whether they are strong or vigorous enough to do the job.
A lot of these guys may be seriously ill or have debilitating disease, which would make it difficult for them to be pope.
Q: How about the kind of you-scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours kind of politics that we're so familiar with here in the US?
A: You can't horse-trade, at least openly. You can't say, "If you make me secretary of state, I'll vote for you." But you can find out from a friend of cardinal what he thinks about you and who he thinks might make strong possible choices as secretary of state.
Q: Has a conclave ever occurred during as much of a crisis atmosphere as the church is facing today?
A: There have been certainly been times when the papacy and church were in the midst of a serious crisis at the time of a conclave.There have been times when France and Spain, both Catholic countries, have been at war with each other. And the elections of the 16th century occurred during the Reformation. One could argue that the conclave of 1534 took place during a much more serious state of crisis because of the threat of the Reformation and the issue of how to respond to it.
Q: How will things be different now considering that the previous pope is still living?
A: The fact that he's still alive has got to have some impact on their voting and their balloting, But I think Benedict will make every effort at not influencing the election. To the extent that he really will is a different question entirely. It's one thing to vote for someone who wasn't in the graces of the previous pope when he's dead. But when he's alive, it might be quite different.
Q: What are some of the issues raised by the existence of a former pope?
A: One of the objections to popes abdicating or resigning is that he'll still be around. When the new pope changes policy, there could easily be a schism within the church by those who insist on the old pope's point of view.
Q: How much influence do the Italian cardinals have over the process?
A: They have a home-field advantage and the biggest voting bloc. It was a bit surprising when two popes in a row were elected who weren't Italians.The real question is whether there are any Italian cardinals who are respected enough to be elected. I expect there are.
Q: What are the strengths of the system as it is?
A: The official position about why they do it this way is it give a sense of mystery to outsiders, which is never a bad thing. Being too transparent ends up being a problem. And this way covers up the politics that do take place. A cardinal would tell you it provides an atmosphere in which the holy spirit is free to operate. The truth of the matter is that, far too often, the holy spirit could have hardly been present considering what happened.
Q: Do you think the process is a good one in modern times?
A: For the most part, they've elected decent men as popes in the last several hundred years. The system has continued to work reasonably well. But speaking as a historian, I would dearly love to get the information about what happened in the conclave, at least a couple years after it was over. From that point of view, the system works too well.
[Curious about the last time a pope resigned? Read my Q&A interview with historian Jon M. Sweeney, author of 2012's "The Pope Who Quit: A True Medieval Tale of Mystery, Death, and Salvation." For more on the history of Christianity, check my interviews with religious scholars Elaine Pagels ("Revelations: Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation"), Bart Ehrman ("Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth"), and Adam C. English ("The Saint Who Would Be Santa Claus: The True Life and Trials of Nicholas of Myra").]

This is Spring
Another cold, clear night passes.
The day warms with sunshine until the mild air smells sweet. In the driveway, while curls of steam rise from the broad evaporating pan, gallons of maple sap steadily boil their way to become the prized amber syrup.
Beside the pool, the tangle of coarse weathered grass has become soft.
By evening, a warm rain begins to fall.
With each step forward as I walk with my light, glistening earthworms brought to the surface to bask in the rainy night retreat hastily, disappearing to the safety of the softened ground.
And from beneath earth that lay frozen and buried beneath months of winter snow, from the woods they walk, crossing roadways, crossing lawns…stepping through my garden.
The spotted salamander, Ambystoma maculatum, is one of the species of mole salamanders that lives underground for 50 weeks of the year, returning to vernal pools in the springtime for a brief 2-week period of breeding. These nocturnal and secretive amphibians are seldom seen unless encountered on their migrations to breeding pools at night.
Vernal pools seldom hold water beyond the summer months, appearing to be of little value in their empty state. Yet, to mole salamanders and wood frogs, these ephemeral wetlands are critically important.
More information about vernal pools can be found in previous posts.

I hope you're remembering to smile for two. I may never see another spotted, because I'm too far away during that critical two weeks, but my daddy and I went out every March to tromp for them. He kept detailed records of first sightings. A handsomer critter has not been made.
And your crawdad wants very much to be a painting.

This was amazing...thank you for sharing these beautiful spring stories. Your note about the snowflake spinning on a spider web reminded me of a winter hike when a solitary hovering snowflake caught my eye..it took me awhile to figure out it was clinging to a web. I thought it was something remarkable...both the flake on the web and the fact that it caught my eye.

- State-run and partnership marketplaces spent vastly more on enrollment efforts than states that used the federal marketplace, according to a new report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The five states with state/federal partnership marketplaces spent an average of $31.53 per uninsured resident for consumer enrollment assistance, according to the study conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics.

The nation's 16 state-run marketplaces averaged $17.15 per uninsured resident, while the 29 states relying on the federal HealthCare.gov website spent an average of just $5.42 per uninsured resident.
The District of Columbia and state-run marketplaces got half of the federal funding for consumer assistance even though they represented only 33 percent of the nation's uninsured. But states using the federal marketplace received only 33 percent of federal funding even though 63 percent of the nation's uninsured live in those 29 states.
" The five partnership states in charge of consumer assistance functions were home to just 6% of the uninsured, but garnered 17% of the funding," the report found..
"The availability of federal money and the type of marketplace were huge factors in the amount states spent to enroll the uninsured," said Katherine Hempstead, who leads coverage issues at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "The real question, which can only be answered in time, is how big of a role states' consumer assistance programs played in overall enrollment success."

The Huawei Mediapad M2 8.0 is a nice little tablet. 1920x1200 screen, Kirin 930 CPU (as seen in the Honor 7), 2GB RAM, 16GB expandable by microSD and LTE built in. It's available to buy from Vodafone in store for £200 plus a mandatory £10 top-up (boo), which makes for a very competitive price for a connected tablet. You can also SIM unlock and bootloader unlock for 4 euros a pop and now... you can de-brand and enable phone calls!
Imagine Publishing's 'Android Magazine' is to close, with the current issue that has just hit news stands (issue 63) set to be the last. In a letter sent to subscribers today, the company have confirmed that existing subscriptions will transfer to the sister 'Gadget' title launched late last year, although subscribers of course have the option to cancel if they so wish.
HTC have announced the '10', their new Android flagship device. With a design language that is distinctly HTC, echoing past devices as well as the recent A9 product, the 10 is instantly recognisable as a HTC product, despite dispensing with classic HTC cues such as the front HTC logo and offset USB port (FINALLY!). As you'd expect, the device isn't left wanting in the specs department - if it all works together well, it looks like it could be a killer device.
Today we will be liveblogging the launch of Huawei's new flagship, the P9. It seems likely that most of the details about the device have already been covered in a number of leaks - the Kirin 955 CPU, the 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB storage, the 5.1" FHD screen and no doubt the EMUI4 software on top of Android Marshmallow. But what about that dual camera?
In this third and final article in association with Huawei, we look at how the new Mate 8 delivers class leading battery life through a combination of hardware and software features, to keep you working all day.
In this second article in association with Huawei, we look at how the new Mate 8 ensures that out of office never really means out of office when you have a powerful Smartphone with you.
Nearly 2 years after the announcement of the last Xiaomi flagship - the Mi 4 - its successor, the cleverly named Mi 5, is now available. Featuring a Snapdragon 820 CPU, 3 or 4GB RAM, 32GB - 128GB storage and a 16 Megapixel camera with innovative IOS, the device ticks all the boxes on the dream spec sheet. But how does it measure up as a whole? We're testing one, so if you have questions, ask away!
The Marshmallow release of TouchWiz (can we still call it that?) introduces a new settings option to enable 'Condensed Mode', which effectively increases the DPI of the device to get more information on screen, something that could previously only be achieved with root access.
MoDaCo Custom ROM is now available for the Honor 7 and Honor 5X. The r1 releases, together with accompanying kitchens, will form the basis of a number of enhancements over the coming months. MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs, and are designed to feel like a stock ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
In this first article in association with Huawei, we look at how the new Mate 8 can be your all in one business powerhouse with it's big screen, class-leading screen to body ratio, powerful internals and work-friendly features.

"Another great experience from CA Homes Spas and Patio. We decided it was time to update our tired patio furniture. We shopped around to compare and measure quality and price. This store has the best quality stuff and the prices are competitive with many stores who sell much lower quality product. What really impressed us was that this store is so large that they had the inventory in their warehouse and delivered it the following week. Other higher-end stores we shopped at would have to order it and promised it 6-8 weeks away. We vacationed in our backyard last weekend. The delivery crew was professional, polite, and timely. Jeff was our salesperson and was the most knowledgeable of the products and inventory of any of the stores we shopped. This store also has the largest selection of patio furniture and everything else you need for the backyard. This is a very cool store. I shop around because I don't want buyers remorse but after 2 great experiences here, I've just been wasting my time. It's quite a drive for us from Westlake Village but well worth it. Thank you!"

Outsmarting HIV: A Survivor's Perspective
Please Help Lark Lands, an Old Friend of the HIV Community, Now Battling Cancer
August 23, 2017
I remember clearly when I met Lark Lands, Ph.D., for the first time in 1994. I saw her coming into a room full of activists in Los Angeles to speak about options to live healthy and survive HIV. This was a time of despair for many of us, as our health was declining and our friends were dying. With her long black hair and great smile, she spoke with urgency, wit and authority about several nutritional and lifestyle choices that could help us improve HIV-related health issues that were robbing us of our lives. Her message was full of hope as she infused her survival skills and resilience into the room. I became a great fan, and we started collaborating while I was lecturing along with Michael Mooney on the use of hormones to reverse wasting syndrome.

Beyond the Berlin Patient: How Researchers Are Now Trying to Cure More HIV-Positive People (Video)
January 5, 2016
We are constantly reading headlines about the latest HIV cure. After years of being exposed to these inflamed news reports, we may get desensitized to the fact that there is actually progress being made in that field. Ever since Timothy Brown was proven to be cured, the search for a cure for HIV that is accessible worldwide has intensified. There is more funding now as different research groups compete to get there first. But we have had set backs that have taught us important lessons.

However, a vulnerable and often forgotten minority of people are still struggling with multi-drug resistant HIV (MDR-HIV) while they anxiously wait for access to lifesaving ARVs that would finally control their viral replication. Although some of these patients may have developed resistant HIV due to lack of adherence or other issues, many of them have been strictly following their doctors' orders for years.

Making Sense of Supplements
December 18, 2012
The world of nutritional supplements is a confusing one, with thousands of claims that are not supported with clinical studies, or are based on research done in rats. There is no FDA oversight of these claims, and quality control audits of this industry are infrequent. However, the FDA is known for sending warnings about supplements that have been reported to cause health concerns, or with unapproved ingredients found in random testing.

SHOREHAM — While Vermont Gas Systems Inc. is now actively seeking the necessary permits and easements it needs to extend its pipeline south into Vergennes and Middlebury by next year, the company is also starting to lay the groundwork for the second phase of its expansion plans: Service to International Paper Co. in Ticonderoga, N.Y., by 2015, a construction project that will affect several property owners in Cornwall and Shoreham.
RIPTON — Ripton voters on Town Meeting Day will be asked to spend up to $150,000 to put a new roof on their elementary school. And in a separate vote on the same day, they'll be asked to add to that new roof 200 solar panels in order to generate electricity to reduce the school's energy bill for at least the next 20 years.

VERGENNES — Local restaurateur Michel Mahé will soon have two operations on Main Street in Vergennes — and five in the Champlain Valley.
In April, Mahé plans to open the Park Squeeze, keeping that name, adding it to a restaurant portfolio that already includes the Black Sheep Bistro further west along Main Street, Bristol's Bobcat Café and Shelburne's Bearded Frog.
ESSEX JUNCTION — Addison Northeast Supervisory Union schools, and schools in the northern half of Addison County in general, were well represented at the sixth annual Jr. Iron Chef Vermont competition on Feb. 2 at the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds in Essex Junction.
On a beautiful Saturday morning, 75 middle and high school teams from all over Vermont participated in the competition.
MIDDLEBURY — Construction of Middlebury College's new squash facility, the first project scheduled in a major upgrade to the college's South Main Street athletics complex, will be complete by October for the fall squash season. Phase one of construction — initial site work — started in November 2012 and was completed in December 2012. Construction will resume when phase two of the squash project begins late this month.
MIDDLEBURY — After several years of standing idle, the former Chittenden Bank property at One Court Square will soon reopen for business under new ownership.
The Vermont Federal Credit Union on Jan. 23 closed on a deal to buy the former bank property for $850,000. Work crews are now busily gutting the 4,800-square-foot building so that it can be occupied by Vermont Federal employees who are currently operating out of the credit union's 1,200-square-foot headquarters at nearby 24 Washington St.
MONKTON — Monkton's Development Review Board has denied a contentious application for a 39.5-acre quarry proposed by Michael and Allan Brisson's Brisson Stone LLC because the quarry would have extracted bedrock and crushed it for gravel, which the board said was prohibited. The quarry was to be managed by David Shlansky's Burchfield Management Company.
Brisson Stone and Burchfield will likely appeal the Monkton DRB's decision to the Vermont Environmental Court, Allan Brisson told the Independent in a telephone interview.
MIDDLEBURY —The Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op of Middlebury has signed a joint development agreement with Encore Redevelopment LLC of Burlington to collaborate on the development of local solar projects in Addison County.

This week, I'd like to write about the role of the hips since they, along with proper shoulder rotation, are critical in executing a strong, consistent golf swing. In fact, those two movements must work together. And you'll see that when the hips are moving correctly, it's much easier for the shoulders to also turn correctly.
Your hips and legs are a major power source in the golf swing and they add rhythm and tempo to your swing. However, the importance of your hips in the golf swing has been often misunderstood. Many players try to force the hips to turn. This usually results in the hips opening up too early, and results in the loss of distance and the ball being blocked to the right or hooking to the left. Watch any of the masters of the game, such as Hogan, Snead or Nelson and you'll notice their beautiful tempo, rhythm and footwork that were keys to their success.
When demonstrating the proper hip turn, you must start with the correct posture at address. The hips must act as a counterbalance in the swing. As your upper body tilts forward to the ball, the hips push back to counterbalance. In order to maintain your spine angle throughout the swing, the hips need to stay pushed back as they rotate in swing. This will allow you to make solid contact with the ball. As you can see in illustrations, during the backswing the right hip moves up and away. It actually replaces the spot where the left buttock was at address. When starting the down swing, the left hip moves forward and towards the front foot, as you maintain backward pressure on your hips. You NEVER want to push off the right foot. Let the left hip move slightly lateral while it pulls out of the way then the right hip fires forward. There has to be a slight lateral bump or shift as your weight moves into your left side. Two things you CANNOT do in the downswing: 1.) Do not stand up to where the hips push forward towards the ball and raise your body and 2.) You cannot back up. Backing up is when your hips turn too early, which prevents your weight form shifting forward and you end up hitting the ball off your back foot.
By improving the rotation of your hips you will add distance, balance and consistency to your swing.

The cast of Good Morning America on Friday treated the bankruptcy of Hostess and the loss of 18,500 jobs as a hilarious joke. Josh Elliott, George Stephanopoulos and others guffawed as they handed out Twinkies and ate them on set. [See video below. MP3 audio here.] This is the same program that repeatedly spun Republican Mitt Romney as out of touch with the average American.
News anchor Josh Elliott highlighted the report for his final update of the 8am hour, a segment usually saved for humorous stories about puppies or funny videos. After referring to the mass firing as "troubling," the crew handed out treats. Elliott joked, "You know, I'm just going to save mine for 12 years when it will still be good." Co-host George Stephanopoulos mused, "So this is, like, one of our final Twinkies." Amy Robach mocked, "A toast to Twinkies."
In contrast, both CBS This Morning and NBC's Today treated the story seriously and offered more coverage. Hostess is going out of business after failing to reach a deal with a bakers union.
Today's Savannah Guthrie wondered, "...Can I be blunt here? Is this some kind of negotiating tactic to try to get the unions back to the table? Is this really it?"
Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn glumly told her: "No. It's over...This is it."
CBS This Moring's Gayle King also included a full report on the nearly 20,000 people who will lose their jobs. Both networks, unlike ABC, managed to cover the story without resorting to mockery.
If Mitt Romney had tried such a stunt, George Stephanopoulos and the other journalists at GMA would never have let him get away with it.
A transcript of the November 16 GMA segment can be found below:
JOSH ELLIOTT: And we do have some, well, rather troubling news here. Hostess, the maker of, among other things, Twinkies and Wonder Bread says it will go out of business today. It failed to resolve a strike among its workers a strike it says crippled its ability to make and deliver its products. Some 18,500 jobs are expected to be lost, you guys.
[The crew passes out Twinkies.]
LAURA SPENCER: And millions of children weeping as they no longer–
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Hey, me too. So this is, like, one of our final Twinkies.
ELLIOTT: A final Twinkie. You know, I'm just going to save mine for 12 years when it will still be good.
SAM CHAMPION: I was thinking exactly the same thing. I'm going to save mine, because if that's the last one.
AMY ROBACH: A toast to Twinkies.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm eating mine. It's pretty good.

Prospect Camp Starts Sunday
The Lightning's prospect camp - its first in years - is set to begin this Sunday, July 27 and run through August 3.
The Victoria News reports 2008 first overall pick Steven Stamkos will indeed be in attendance at the camp, along with several others, including recently acquired defenseman Ty Wishart and former first rounder Riku Helenius.
TampaBayLightning.com released the names of Lightning picks/property on the camp roster (there are 11 others set to attend):
Mark Barberio, D, Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL)
David Carle, D (will not skate)
Justin Courtnall, LW, Victoria Grizzlies (BCHL)
Luca Cunti, C, Rimouski Oceanic (QMJHL)
Kyle DeCoste, RW, Brampton Battalion (OHL)
Mitch Fadden, C, Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL)
Riku Helenius, G, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL)
Torrie Jung, G, Kelowna Rockets (WHL)
Scott Jackson, D, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL)
Alex Killorn, C, Harvard University (NCAA)
Chris Lawrence, RW, Norfolk Admirals (AHL)
Matt Marshall, C/RW, University of Vermont (NCAA)
Kevin Quick, D, Norfolk Admirals (AHL)
Andy Rogers, D, Norfolk Admirals (AHL)
Steven Stamkos, C, Sarnia Sting (OHL)
Paul Szcezechura, C, Norfolk Admirals (AHL)
Michael Ward, D, Lewiston MAINEiacs (QMJHL)
Ty Wishart, D, Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL)
James Wright, C, Vancouver Giants (WHL)
One notable omission is Spokane goaltender Dustin Tokarski, a 2008 4th round pick. Tokarski will be working out with Canada's top junior talent in the Canada WJC summer development program next week. Stamkos will skip the WJC program in order to attend Lightning camp - a sure indication of where he plans to start the season.
Hockeybuzz.com lists the following non-Lightning property invitees:
Anthony Grieco, G, 6'1"/187, Mississauga (OHL), Undrafted
Daryl Boyle, D, 6'1"/191, Brandon (WHL)/Norfolk (AHL), Undrafted (Norfolk contract)
Chris Kaufman, D, 6'2"/190, Robert Morris University (CHA)/Bakersfield (ECHL), Undrafted
Tyson Marsh, D, 6'1"/215, Columbia (ECHL)/Rockford (AHL), Undrafted

Brady Leavold, RW, 5'11"/190, Swift Current/Kelowna (WHL)/Victoria (ECHL), Undrafted
Evan Pighin, RW, 6'0"/185, Chilliwack (WHL), Undrafted
Taylor Procyshen, RW, 5'9"/170, Tri-City (WHL), Undrafted
Andreas Vlassopoulos, LW, 5'11"/180, Colorado College (CUSA), Undrafted
"This is a great week for the players to get their first taste of what it means to be a member of the Lightning organization," Tampa Bay vice-president of hockey operations Brian Lawton said in a statement. "The camp's focus is on-ice skill development, off-ice training, nutrition, and, in general, what it takes and means to be a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning."
The Grizzlies, home of Lightning prospect Justin Courtnall and owned by Lightning co-owner Len Barrie, are coordinating the camp along with the Lightning and Barrie's Bear Mountain Resorts - the location of the event.

Everton finished 2005 with a 1-0 victory at Sunderland, snapping a four game losing streak. That's the good news. The bad news, which could fill the sports section of a newspaper, includes (1) the fact that Sunderland, hands down the worst team in the Premiership, outplayed us, (2) at the season's half-way mark, we're in 16th place, only three points outside the relegation zone, (3) our goal difference is the second worse in the league.
Why is Everton doing so poorly after finishing fourth last year? Again, the reasons are numerous, but here the my leading three. First, last year was a fluke — our goal difference suggested we were only of mid-table quality. Second, we're not scoring goals. We have only 11 in 20 matches, the lowest the the Premiership. Tim Cahill, our top scorer last year got his first today. Duncan Ferguson, who scored so many key goals off the bench last year, hasn't scored and, plagued again by injuries, is discussing retirement.
Finally, we are weak in defensive midfield. Last year's unsung hero, Lee Carsley, provided a great shield for our back four. But he has been injured all season. The versatile Phil Neville (obtained from Manchester United) has done fairly well in Carsley's place but frequently must fill-in at other positions due to injuries.
Sunderland is virtually sure to be relegated (today, it's fans were singing "you're going down with Sunderland" at the Everton faithful). The other two victims likely will come from Everton, Birmingham, West Brom, and Portsmouth. I make our chances of surviving at only slightly better than 50 percent.
