Polygamists Point to 'Gay Marriage' in Fight Against Utah's Appeal of Polygamy Ruling
By Heather Clark on August 28, 2015 No Comment
SALT LAKE CITY — An attorney representing a polygamist at the center of the TLC reality show "Sister Wives" is pointing to the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex "marriage" in his fight against Utah's appeal of a federal decision striking down the state's ban on polygamous cohabitation.
"From the rejection of morality legislation in Lawrence to the expansion of the protections of liberty interests in Obergefell, it is clear that states can no longer use criminal codes to coerce or punish those who choose to live in consensual but unpopular unions," attorney Jonathan Turley wrote on behalf of plaintiff Kody Brown.
"This case is about criminalization of consensual relations and there are 21st century cases rather than 19th century cases that control," he said.
"Homosexuals and polygamists do have a common interest: the right to be left alone as consenting adults," Turley also told reporters in 2011. "There is no spectrum of private consensual relations—there is just a right of privacy that protects all people so long as they do not harm others."
As previously reported, Brown of the TLC reality show Sister Wives, along with his four "wives," Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, filed suit in 2011 to challenge parts of the law that they claimed violated their privacy rights.
The five had been under investigation by state officials for violating the statute, and moved to Nevada to escape punishment. Brown is married to one of the women, and considers his relationship with the other three women as being "spiritual unions." He has fathered 17 children with his four lovers.
While all states prohibit bigamy–entering into multiple marriages–Utah also bans residents from living together in a polygamous relationship. Brown, a member of the Apostolic United Brethren Church, a fundamentalist Mormon sect, contended that such a prohibition violates his freedom of religion.
In December 2013, Judge Clark Waddoups, nominated to the bench by then-president George W. Bush, sided with Brown in determining that Utah's prohibition on polygamist cohabitation violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments, and interfered with the right to privacy. He pointed to the 2003 decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which decriminalized sodomy in the nation, and differentiated unmarried sexual conduct from criminal bigamy.
"Consensual sexual privacy is the touchstone of the rational basis review analysis in this case, as in Lawrence," he wrote. "The court believes that Plaintiffs are correct in their argument that, in prohibiting cohabitation under the statute, 'it is, of course, the state that has equated private sexual conduct with marriage.'"
Therefore, because Brown does not claim to be married to all of the women–nor does the state ban cohabitation in premarital or adulterous relationships—Waddoups threw out the cohabitation section of the statute, while upholding the prohibition on bigamy.
Last August, Waddoups issued his final ruling in the matter, striking the law and ordering the state to pay Brown's attorney's fees surrounding the lawsuit. Officials in Utah then appealed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in May, asserting that polygamous relationships are harmful to women and children.
"Utah has an interest in regulating marriage because it is an important social unit, and this interest remains as this court has recently recognized regardless of how other state provisions regulating marriage are evaluated for their constitutional soundness or infirmity," Utah Solicitor Parker Douglas wrote in his brief.
But Brown and his attorney are contending otherwise in their submission to the court this week.
"By only striking the cohabitation provision, the district court left Utah with the same law maintained by most states in the Union prohibiting bigamy," Turley wrote. "What was lost to the state is precisely what is denied to all states: the right to impose criminal morality codes on citizens, compelling them to live their lives in accordance with the religious or social values of the majority of citizens."

Chairman of the foundation Dr Nico Wolter studied medicine at Maastricht University and has been working as an insurance physician since 1988. He has suffered from ankylosing spondylitis since childhood.
Surprised by the remarkably positive effects he experienced from the combined therapies of the Gastein Heilstollen therapy himself, he developed a therapy programme for rheumatic diseases.
This therapy has been extensively studied and had proven success. Not only rheumatic patients but also people suffering from other chronic diseases have shown to benefit from the therapy.
Through the initiatives of the REHA Tours Foundation, Dr Nico Wolter wants to make this successful therapy accessible to the widest possible group of patients.

Microsoft, Adobe Ready Security Updates
Updated • Nov 20, 2012
Security, Windows Updates
It is the second Tuesday of the month again and this means security patch day at Microsoft and Adobe. Adobe has just released a security bulletin for Adobe Reader and Acrobat that fix several critical vulnerabilities in versions of the pdf software.
Vulnerabilities affect Adobe Reader X and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh, Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and earlier for Unix, and Adobe Acrobat 10.1 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh.
Adobe as usually recommends to update Adobe Reader to the new version released today. This is Adobe Reader 10.1.1 for Windows and Macintosh, and Adobe Raeder 9.4.5 for Unix, as well as Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 for Windows and Macintosh.
The security bulletin offers vulnerability details and download links for all Adobe Reader and Acrobat updates.
Microsoft today has released five security bulletins that affect Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Server Software and Microsoft Office. The maximum severity of all five bulletins is Important, the second highest rating available.
Windows Update is already picking up the updates online. Windows users can check for updates in their operating system to download and install the patches right now.
You find summaries for all five bulletins below. Follow the link for detailed descriptions of each security bulletin.
MS11-070 - Vulnerability in WINS Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2571621) - This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). The vulnerability could allow elevation of privilege if a user received a specially crafted WINS replication packet on an affected system running the WINS service. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.
MS11-071 - Vulnerability in Windows Components Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2570947) - This security update resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate rich text format file (.rtf), text file (.txt), or Word document (.doc) that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
MS11-072 - Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2587505) - This security update resolves five privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Excel file. An attacker who successfully exploited any of these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. Installing and configuring Office File Validation (OFV) to prevent the opening of suspicious files blocks the attack vectors for exploiting the vulnerabilities described in CVE-2011-1986 and CVE-2011-1987.
MS11-073 - Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2587634) - This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file or if a user opens a legitimate Office file that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted library file. An attacker who successfully exploited either of the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the logged on user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
MS11-074 - Vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2451858) - This security update resolves five privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint and Windows SharePoint Services. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user clicked on a specially crafted URL or visited a specially crafted Web site. For the most severe vulnerabilities, Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9 users browsing to a SharePoint site in the Internet Zone are at a reduced risk because, by default, the XSS Filter in Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9 helps to block the attacks in the Internet Zone. The XSS Filter in Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9, however, is not enabled by default in the Intranet Zone.
You find deployment priority information and the severity index at the Technet blog.

Got all 12 Updates a few minutes ago! :)

Thanks for the update links. I tell my firewalls to block all Adobe products as they have more wide open holes than a choirboy, so they don't update automatically as a result.

re: Adobe Reader
it's not the easiest thing to find the offline installers for Adobe Reader, but thanks to a ghacks story from last year I managed to get to a Adobe ftp page that leads to what might be all versions (past and present) of Adobe Reader. I thought it might be nice to share :-)
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
So, if like me you want the (full/offline install) version of latest Adobe Reader X (10.1.1 , i think):
click on win
click on 10.x
click on 10.1.1
then click on the one with your language and (hopefully) you should be at a page with the full (offline) install.
ps: on the choose your language/version page, the link that is called 'misc' leads to the 10.1.1 update.
pps: do I want to know what a ftp page is, and why it's different to http?

Thanks so much for posting those, this should help a lot of readers.


Hey all, Matt here again.
We only have 8 days remaining in the campaign and need that final boost to get us over our goal.
I wanted to share some cool looking screenshots we captured this afternoon of Tim's tutorial level we're including in the Alpha Build due to be released sometime soon. As we said before, tutorials can be tough. People often don't read them, myself included, and just want to get to the meat of the game.
Tim and I both agree that the best way to teach players the various actions and reactions they can perform in any given game in to provide relatively safe testing grounds where experimentation is encouraged and rewarded. We're committed to creating those sorts of environments in the early levels of SRC but are making an exception in the case of our Alpha Build. We want players to experience a wide variety of the stuff they'll be doing in SRC in a shorter time window than we expect them to in the finished product. That's why Tim's been working so hard on the tutorial and that's why it's so important.
Anyways, here's a screenshot of the current level. It's a NIGHT TIME LEVEL which is a nice pallet change from the usual sun drenched Mediterranean country side.
We really gave that pumpkin a lesson it won't forget anytime soon. Also pictured here are a piece of wood, a box of spaghetti, and a live rabbit. Though I can assure you, no animals were harmed in the recording of the sounds of SRC.
Well that's it for today, we're still working as hard and fast as we can to get that Alpha Build released and into the hands of backers in the Alpha access tiers. If you want that early access, now's the time to increase your pledge to ensure you'll be able to experience SRC as early as possible.
The more time we spend on Kickstarter these days the more we are finding some awesome projects that we can't help but share with you all.
Does anyone remember old-school, unapologetic flight sims that are just made for fun without getting bogged down with unnecessary complexity? Well if you do and even if you don't you should go check out Wings: Remastered Edition. They have a free demo so you can play the game right now and see if it's something you'd like to be a part of.
Stay tuned for another update tomorrow and please keep spreading the word. We're almost there, folks!
Blackstaff and David like this update.
Not too many night levels please. The PC has enough grey and gloom to last 10 lifetimes. I prefer the green grass, blue skies, and yellow stone of the previous screenshots.

di Resta: This is my chance
Craig Llewellyn
Paul di Resta admits that the hard work is only just beginning as he embarks on his maiden F1 season.
Paul di Resta may be poised to make his grand prix debut when the F1 season finally gets underway in Melbourne this weekend, but he knows that the hard work is only just beginning.
The Scot was a rival of current world champion Sebastian Vettel in F3 and Lewis Hamilton in Formula Renault but, while the German was fast-tracked into F1 by the Red Bull development scheme and Hamilton nurtured by McLaren, di Resta has had to prove himself all over again, despite claiming the F3 Euroseries crown in 2006. Now, however, he finally gets another crack at Vettel, having been handed the chance to graduate to the top flight by Force India and Mercedes, and is determined to show that he deserves his place among motorsport's elite.
The 24-year old, cousin to multiple Indycar and Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti, has had to work hard to make it, despite being a past winner of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award. Unable to raise the finance necessary to step up into the GP2 Series, he took the wise decision to remain with Mercedes and move to the DTM touring car series, and insists that he would not have been ready for F1 while still a teenager.
"Okay, [Hamilton and Vettel] have won world championships, but I've achieved what I wanted to achieve," he told Britain's Guardian newspaper, "I'm not sure I would have wanted to be a F1 driver at 19. I've had four good years in touring cars, and I'll look back and say I definitely enjoyed them. I don't regret it. The DTM is a massively underrated championship, but it gives the driver a great grounding. The cars also have a lot of downforce, which again should be a big help in F1."
Set the goal of winning the DTM title, di Resta combined a successful championship assault with an increasing workload at Force India, and was already being talked about as a potential replacement for the lacklustre Tonio Liuzzi midway through last season. Even when it became clear that the Italian was not going to be in the mix for 2011, however, di Resta admits that he could not be sure that his time had come either.
"I was confident in a sense but, in other ways, I never really knew what would happen because it is quite a tricky business to get your head around," he said of the work and luck involved in making it to the top flight, "There are different sides to it than what you saw.

"I'm a driver, but there's also a commercial market as well. There was talk of the team taking a pay driver. You question it in your head, but you take it from the horse's mouth and you have to be confident that's where it's going. So I can say now it's been a progression I definitely worked hard to try and do. That was one of the things when I first went into Force India. With their plans they set down in front of me, I did see a natural progression. It was definitely a good route to getting a race drive. Happily, it has all paid off and they've delivered on what they've said they are going to deliver on."
Despite getting the chance to line up alongside Hamilton and Vettel again, however, di Resta knows that he is unlikely to be locking horns with either on a regular basis, and that his main battle will be to match up to Force India team-mate Adrian Sutil and cement his place on the grid for years to come.
"I know it is going to be difficult," he acknowledged, "The workload is going to increase for me this year with so many grands prix, a lot of racing compared to what I am used to in a year. I don't think, time-wise, it's going to be as bad but, on the brain, it is going to be much more demanding.

Hulkenberg doesn't see F1 exit as retirement
"For the guys who are leading the race, they are probably driving at 90 per cent, whereas the guys in the midfield are battling for that last little bit, trying to squeeze everything out. They emerge from the car with sweat pouring out. But this is my chance and I am determined to give it my all and show what I can do."
In line with the majority of his rivals, di Resta claims not to have had enough time to fully hone Force India's latest machine, and he has yet to sample the rigours of a grand prix weekend from the point of view of a full-time driver, but is confident that, especially as the season wears on, he will find himself in a strong position to score points.
"It's been a long build up to this, a long winter, a lot of hard work," he told the BBC, "I haven't really stopped since last year, but I am very much looking forward to seeing where we are as a team and where we need to focus on for the rest of the year. It is a long year ahead, [and] we are not exactly where we want to be, but we are still staying very positive. We are going into it with a strong mind [and] I am very excited."

I've seen a lot of crazy things in Nevada politics, but the longest running embarrassment in the arena has set a new standard: The Nevada Republican Party reported raising nothing.
That's right, since June, the state GOP has taken in no contributions of mroe than $1,000, so its report is dotted with zeroes. Oh, there are dozens of small contributions -- $8.25 and $35 and $50 -- but that just adds up to a few grand. And yet the party of fiscal conservatives spent $65,000, including nearly $16,000 on....direct mail fundraising.

Having trouble with managing remote teams? These few tips can help you out
4 Ways Standing Desks Improve Employee Productivity
Creating a Better Work-Life Balance for Employees
How To Maintain A Balance Between Being A Friend And A Boss
What To Do If You Recieve a Warning At Work
Managing employees who are smarter than you
Why You Should Try Working From Home
Nothing in our lifetime has disrupted social life like the Coronavirus pandemic. All over the world, the virus continues to take its toll, and companies, teams and firms all over the world have had to adjust their modus operandi.
That's right. If your work can be done from home, you've probably been asked to start working from the confines of your house. This can be an especially difficult situation, particularly if you're the leader of a team that has to work together. Managers all over the world have been forced into situat ions where they would have to lead teams remotely. This is something that has never happened on such a large scale, and unsurprisingly, managers have found it difficult to adjust.
It's hard enough being a team member receiving virtual instructions. Imagine being the manager giving those instructions and having to coordinate the efforts of others too as well.
But thankfully, there are a few tips that can help you coordinate your team better.
Lower Your Expectations
First off, accept that you will not be as productive as you would have been in the regular office setting. Accept that your team members/workers won't be as productive as well. That will most certainly help you deal with whatever is coming.
This means that you will have to become more flexible, relax some rules on deadlines, and you may have to occasionally pick quality over quantity (that is quality of work over volume).
Well, this looks like the put one foot in front of the other rule, but it's important. Research says that contacting people frequently builds communication and makes it easier to sustain engagement.
This means that you must always make sure that your employees are checking in. Don't allow 12 hours go by without getting feedback about a task. You may even set a model of checking in. Maybe every 5 hours, workers are mandated to touch base. This will make it easier to track the progress of tasks and would build effective communication.
Make Use Of The Buddy System
It will be very hard for you to keep track of people all by yourself. If you have to speak to everyone individually to know what they are up to and whether they are in track, you'll most likely have a difficult time. Asides that, since you're in a position of authority, workers may find it very difficult to relate easily to you.
That's why it's best to assign buddies. A. buddy system means that each worker would have an extra pair of eyes watching over them. They would also have a different (and perhaps more effective method) of staying accountable.
This model of shared leadership will provide a layer of support and checks that will not only boost emotional connection but productivity as well.
Pick Up Emotional Cues In Voice And Tone
When you don't speak face to face, it's easy to misinterpret the tone and mood of people. Virtual communication (if not done through video calls) may make it difficult for managers to truly understand what their employees are saying.
So you now have to rely on proxies like voice, tone and other signs in text messages to understand the mental state of your employees. You should pay attention to the pattern of written communication (what sort of words are used, how they are used and how the individual is used to communicating), and also rate, volume and pitch of voice conversation.
This is a period that has made a lot of people anxious about the future. Your job as a manager is to drain them of that anxiety and instil them with optimism. Fearful workers won't get a lot of work done, so you need to make sure that your workers are hopeful and motivated.
Be Mindful Of Stress Levels
Human beings are not machines. That means they cannot work for an unlimited amount of time. That means that a plethora of emotional issues may interfere with proper functioning. That means that they have a breaking point.
As a leader and manager, you must constantly gauge stress levels and ensure that your workers are not buckling under the weight of stress. Some workers may be feeling stressed because they are working in unideal situations. Ask them to set up a home office with ergonomic furniture like a standing desk. The Electric Height Adjustable Desk EN1 - 55" & 60" would no doubt be a great choice in the promotion of maximum productivity.


I imagine there are remarkably few women in Texas who actually feel this way. In the years since the state legislature passed its omnibus anti-abortion law in 2013, the number of clinics in the state has dropped from 40 to 19, abortion rates have fallen, and the statewide maternal mortality rate doubled. And while parts of the law were struck down by the Supreme Court in 2016, its consequences, compounded by other barriers to access, have been disproportionately felt by black and Latina women across the state. As the procedure becomes increasingly harder to access and afford, women have and will continue to take matters into their own hands. Some will do so dangerously.
It's a visceral image, but it's more likely the country is heading somewhere different than a return to the era of back-alley abortions. The advent of the abortion pill and the rise of non-profit abortion funds have created safer paths to access than in 1972, and the movement to protect clinics and assist women across state lines is bigger, and better organized, than at potentially any point in its history.
Instead, there may emerge more insidious threats—both to women who wish to terminate their pregnancies and those who want to carry them to term—in the struggle to hold whatever ground possible: the proliferation of laws that scrutinize and criminalize the pregnant body on the one hand, and the ongoing erosion of basic access to abortion and prenatal care on the other.
This isn't an unprecedented landscape; low-income women in states like Mississippi and Texas are already living it. But it's almost certainly going to expand now that Republicans control Congress and President Trump, whose vice president is vehemently anti-abortion, is in the White House. There are Supreme Court and federal court vacancies left to be filled, federal anti-abortion legislation that may pass, bills targeting abortion under insurance plans, and, for many Americans, the threat of no insurance at all.
Millions of women in deeply conservative states already know what the fight for reproductive health looks like as more clinics close and affordable health care moves further out of reach for millions of people. The rest of the country may soon find out.
This reality exposes the anti-abortion movement's false outrage in response to then-candidate Trump saying that he believed women should be punished for having illegal abortions.
Anna Yocca was incarcerated in a Rutherford county jail when these messages of condemnation went out. I covered the March for Life in January 2016—Yocca's fifth months of incarceration. Her name went unmentioned then, too. If the anti-abortion movement sincerely believes the incarceration of women under such circumstances is antithetical to their movement, then they're remarkably quiet about it when it actually happens.
This isn't even the extent of how the law is used to scrutinize and surveil women's bodies. Women who use drugs while pregnant have been prosecuted under fetal assault laws like the one that recently expired in Tennessee, and Alabama has prosecuted pregnant women using child endangerment laws designed to keep children out of meth labs.
In Wisconsin in 2014, a woman named Tamara Loertscher was jailed for 18 days, including three in solitary confinement, after a medical visit revealed she was both 14 weeks pregnant and had previously used methamphetamine and marijuana. The hospital staff reported her to social services, which then appointed her fetus a lawyer. Loertscher was charged under the state's fetal protection law and detained until a lawyer negotiated her release.
She was one of two women that year to challenge the constitutionality of the state's so-called "cocaine mom act" after being detained as a consequence of seeking medical care.
Prosecutors and lawmakers alike have justified these laws by claiming they're in the interest of public health—as though steeper penalties for drug use can fill a void left by access to affordable health care—but there is no evidence, and no major medical association, that supports these claims.
Texas women like Amy Hagstrom Miller, the founder and owner of Whole Woman's Health, a network of clinics that provide abortion services across the South and Midwest, are fighting on multiple fronts. A landmark victory in the Supreme Court in 2016 helped keep her doors open in the state, but she is still working to meet the demand for services when 96% of counties lack an abortion provider.
In phone calls last week, I asked Hagstrom Miller and Jessica González-Rojas, the executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, the same questions I asked Rosenbloom: What does the landscape in states like Texas tell us about what could happen—and how to fight—under the new administration?
Both told me that organizing against restrictive laws before they pass was the first line of defense, which is why there has been an acceleration of local activism in states from Texas to Missouri, Mississippi to Ohio. As the assault on reproductive health became more localized, so did people's advocacy. But with Republicans in control of 32 state legislatures and 33 governorships, these efforts will need additional support—from broader national coalitions and local progressive groups—to build the kind of political power that will be needed to fight back and win.
The political odds aren't in their favor, but public opinion is on their side. A majority of Americans say they believe abortion should be "legal in all cases" or "legal in most cases." And a survey released in the first week of 2017 found that a strong majority of Americans—around 70%—opposed efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade, a finding that is consistent with nearly three decades of polling on the issue.
And being cut off from access (because of distance or cost or both) means that Hagstrom Miller and González-Rojas have heard stories from women who have taken extreme measures to end unwanted pregnancies.
"And a lot of times, it's ineffective methods," González-Rojas said. While misoprostol, the medication used to induce on a miscarriage, is "actually a pretty effective method," other techniques she has heard about women attempting, like punching themselves in the stomach or throwing themselves down the stairs, can be extremely dangerous. "Our stance is to do everything we possibly can to make sure clinics stay open, but we recognize that these cases might increase given the climate," she said.
Hagstrom Miller has heard similar stories and met women in similar situations.
"When you have to close a clinic and you tell somebody they're going to have to travel 500 miles to have an abortion, you're looking at them in their eyes and you know they can't do it," she told me. She can't advise people on how to perform their own abortions, but she knows women in desperate situations may seek out this information elsewhere and try on their own.
"As a healthcare provider," she said, "I feel very responsible to support them, to help them understand their bodies and know what an infection looks like." It's essentially a harm reduction strategy, one that may become increasingly central in the reproductive health movement that may be focusing most of its energies in the coming years on preserving an already dismal status quo and guiding women through a hostile landscape.
"When you close clinics, women suffer," Hagstrom Miller told me with a sigh toward the end of our call. History, from the time before Roe v. Wade to the present day in the Rio Grande Valley, has taught us as much. The next four years may, too.

Q: how to paste multiple line to a command line prompt of a scala stdIn process? I have a scala program running to prompt for user input in a loop, like
enter name:
enter age:
continue?:
How can I prepare a string of multiple users' input and copy and paste it once into the prompt to simulate user input of mutiple user info.
I tried with john\n26\nc\nlucy\22\c...
val acctList = ListBuffer.empty[UserInfo]
breakable {
  while (true) {
    try {
      println(s"enter name: ")
      val myName = scala.io.StdIn.readLine
      val stdIn = System.console()
      println(s"enter age for $myName")
      val myAge = scala.io.StdIn.readLine
      val acct = UserInfo(myName, myAge)
      acctList += acct
      println(s"enter c to continue: ")
      val cont = scala.io.StdIn.readLine
      if (cont != "c") break
    }
    catch {
      case e: NumberFormatException => println("number format exception caught:" + e.toString)
      case e: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException => println("string index out of range:" + e.toString)
      case e: Exception => println("exception caught:" + e.toString)
    }
  }
}

paste "John\n26\nc\nLucy\n22\nx" into the first prompt, I should be able to read in acctList as ({"John", 26}, {Lucy, 22})

A: This is a question I'm sure almost all programming students encounter at some point. The essence of your question seems to be "How can I simulate side-effects (input/output in this example) in my program?" You can imagine the same issue if your code called database.insert(...) instead of scala.io.StdIn.readLine or println(...). It's all the same problem really. In a test environment, how can you feed input to a program like this?
I would recommend looking at this excellent example (explained in this video by John De Goes) of your exact problem, addressed in a functional style. The final outcome of the program may be overkill for your app, and one of the intermediate programs shown might be the perfect example for you. I don't recommend seeking out true answer to your original question, but rather you should refactor the program so that you don't need to find an answer to that question.

A: have you tried shell input redirection?
echo -e "john\n26\nc\nlucy\n22\n" >autoinput.txt
scala yourscript.scala 0<autoinput.txt

if shell input redirection does not work
the "expect" family would be the best answer to automate interactive programs, but that would be  too much to talk about

January - Fight the flab!
A very Happy New Year to all of our clients and their animals, we hope that 2012 is a good year for you all. For many of us the New Year brings a host of "resolutions" to lose weight, get fit and make the most of our free time. However have you considered your canine and feline friends? The medical profession has long considered obesity to be the leading cause of preventable disease in the western world, but we tend not to think of it so much as a real threat to health for our pets. Its all too easy to let them get larger in the waistline but then very difficult to get them trim again. Life-long overfeeding and therefore excess bodyweight has been proven to contribute to osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus and respiratory disease. A recent scientific study in a group of 48 Labradors over a period of 14 years showed that the dogs who were fed ad lib lived on average a SHOCKING 1.8 years less than the dogs who were fed 25% less. The ad lib fed dogs were all overweight and on average required treatment for chronic diseases from 10 years old onwards, compared to the leaner dogs who remained healthy until an average of 12 years old (Kealy and others, 2002). It should be a simple equation: Less food + More exercise = Weight loss but we appreciate that there are far more factors involved and that is why we offer free weight clinics where Laura, our qualified veterinary nurse, will discuss your individual animal and situation in depth with you and work with you to find solutions to any problems you are encountering. So make a resolution this New Year that will really benefit your pet's health and wellbeing. Contact the practice today to book in for your free nurse consultation.


For the first time in over 14 years, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recently changed their guidelines to help detect, prevent, manage and treat high blood pressure. We have aligned our app to match these new standards and you may notice some changes. But don't worry, read on—we've broken it all down for you.
The new guidelines stress the importance of using proper techniques to measure blood pressure and they also recommend "the use of home blood pressure monitoring using validated devices." They also want to train professionals to detect "white coat hypertension"—a syndrome that can be avoided when measuring your own BP.
The new guidelines were enacted, in part, to increase hypertension awareness and to nudge people towards healthy habits. Being aware of your blood pressure can encourage lifestyle modifications such as proper diet and exercise that have been proven to help people manage heart health.
It's important for you to be empowered and know your numbers, but it's no replacement for your doctor's advice and guidance. PMD Healthcare's Remote Patient Monitoring and Wellness Management Services will connect you to your doctor anytime and from anywhere!

2011 YEAR IN REVIEW: BREAKTHROUGH ACTRESS JESSICA CHASTAIN
Dec 30, 2011 | AUDIO FILES/CONTENT, CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS, GENERAL, MOVIE NEWS, MUSIC NEWS, NEWS OF THE DAY, Reality Television, VIDEO CONTENT
Is it just me or was Jessica Chastain in every other movie that was released this year? In 2011, the once unknown actress graced us with The Tree of Life, The Debt, Take Shelter, The Help, Texas Killing Fields, and Coriolanus! To put the proverbial icing on the cake, Chastain received a Golden Globes and Critics Choice Award nod for her work in The Help.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chastain as she promoted The Tree of Life and, later in the year, The Debt. My favorite story from the two interviews came from Chastain's recollection of almost introducing herself to Robin Williams. Thanks to the Oscar winning actor, Chastain's Julliard School education was funded by Williams.
Click on the media bar and listen to Chastain talk about her synchronistic encounter with Mr. Williams:
Chastain will be seen in 2012 with Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy in director John Hillcoat's (The Road, The Proposition) latest drama, Wettest County.

For 6 years, Husband and I have been going around and around about what color to paint the kitchen. Since he is the Head Cook he wanted a say in how I decorated "His Domain." I guess I can give him that. I'm also fine with him calling the kitchen His Domain. Heck, he can call it Shirley for all I care as long as he cooks my dinner!
Being a green blogger, I'm supposed to automatically choose a low or no VOC (volatile organic compound) paint to improve the indoor air quality for the health of my family. However, I had a lot of questions and concerns if a low or no VOC paint job would last. Turns out, my concerns were not such a big deal. I found out that we painted our bedroom six years ago with a paint that qualifies as a low VOC paint, even thought the company doesn't advertise it that way. The bedroom paint job has held up over time but as for a low VOC paint, it SMELLED just as much as the mistint of conventional paint I bought from the Habitat Restore to paint the laundry room.
Since that stinky low VOC paint job held up over time, I was ready to take a chance on a no VOC paint. Hopefully, with less stink.
I painted the kitchen with Dutch Boy Refresh paint in Twisted Knot. It's a no VOC paint, so it's not supposed to smell. Refresh has Arm and Hammer Baking Soda in it so it's supposed to absorb odors for up to a year too. Perfect for our kitchen because we often cook fish and the smell lingers even with using the stove exhaust vent and burning a scented soy candle after dinner.
Blah builder's grade everything kitchen.
Here's the mood board of what I'm working with.
Yes, I consider Blitzkrieg part of the color pallete.
He sheds like a machine, why fight it?
I painted the back splash with chalkboard paint too.
The kitchen isn't finished yet. I have a few more projects to show you before I post the final reveal.
The paint barely smelled and even then, it was only a faint odor. After a 24 hour drying time, we couldn't smell anything. The real smell tester was Blitzkrieg. If we spray or use something smelly, he avoids it like the plague and voices his displeasure by cuddling up to the offender and giving them a big wet, sneeze in the face. The smell must have passed the Peke test because he supervised my paint job.
and often sleeps on the job.
The coverage was FANTASTIC. My kitchen was supposed to use a little under two gallons of paint. I did two coats and only used one gallon of paint. That might be because I used such a light color of paint or because I primed the walls due to them being so damaged to begin with... In the future, I would still buy the recommended amount of Refresh paint to cover my room. I would rather have too much paint mixed than not enough. I ran into that problem when painting our bedroom and matching can be difficult.
The twist and pour can. I've seen it advertised and though it was nice but I doubted it was worth the extra money. I was wrong! I can't believe that I got so excited over the design of a paint can but I did. I didn't have to scramble for a screw driver or church key (which is always buried under a drop cloth or something) to open the can. I didn't have to worry about the paint drying out because I didn't put the lid back on the can tightly. The built in handle didn't cut into my fingers like the wire handle on a traditional can of paint.
Dutch Boy is based in Cleveland. That makes their paint local to me. Yay for buying local!
It's not the least expensive paint I've used, but it's on the upper end of the price scale. I think the coverage, no VOC aspects, and the twist and lock can make it worth the extra bit of money over my low VOC (and still somewhat stinky) brand of paint.
I think I went a little too light on the wall color. I might have played it too safe. However, this isn't Dutch Boy's fault, but my own. They gave me a big fan deck of colors to choose from. Unlike other no VOC brands, Refresh comes in tons of shades, many that are as deep and as saturated as a conventional brand of paint.
For those of you who do not like plastic, Dutch Boy Refresh comes in a #2 plastic paint can. However, the nice thing about that for me is that I can rinse the paint out of the can when it is empty and put it in my recycling bin with the rest of my #2 plastic bottles. I can't do that with a conventional paint can.
Yet again, I am blown away at how well a green product performs above or as well as its conventional and not so green counterpart because that is my test. If a green product doesn't last as long as it's conventional equivalent, to me it's not worth the extra money I have to pay for it. Sorry environment but quality and performance matter just as much to me as being green. In this case, Dutch Boy no VOC paint surprised me in coverage, packaging, clean up, and smell. Only time will tell if the paint job lasts as long as its conventional counterpart but I'm confident it will.
Dutch Boy provided me with Refresh no VOC paint to facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% honest and my own.
Your kitchen looks nice! I especially like the black chalkboard paint!
When we built our house two years ago, we decided to use no/low VOC paints, stains, sealants, glues, etc. for everything. For paint, we went with Sherwin Williams' Harmony line and we've been very pleased with how it looks and how it's held up.
I'm so allergic to paint - I feel OK the first day, but the next few days I can hardly breathe. The next time I paint, I would like to use this. The twist and pour sounds awesome.
Thanks for the Pros and Cons!
Thanks for the solid review. This sounds like a product to consider if/when we get a house.


Our single, double, twin, triple and family rooms – all with private bathroom - offer a wide choice in terms of size, being also the perfect combination of convenience, comfort and ease.
Some rooms have a nice small private balcony, some overlook a long sunny flowery balcony.
If you are looking for a room in Rome, cozy, comfortable and quiet, an ideal starting point to visit all the main attractions of the city, Hotel Corallo will meet all your needs.

Proposed Cuts to ESA
Just about to vote against Tory plans to make hideous cuts to Employment Support Allowance.
Ministerial proposals to cut £30 a week from the benefits of ill and disabled people found unfit to work have been criticised by the government's equalities watchdog.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHCR) says the proposed cuts will disproportionately affect disabled people, widen inequalities and undermine the UK's human rights obligations.
Separately, a scathing letter by the head of the EHCR warns that official assessments of the cut's impact on disabled people "contain very little in the way of evidence" and "limited analysis" of the consequences for claimants.

Adaptive Church
Collaboration and Community in a Changing World
by Dustin D. Benac
Imprint: Baylor University Press
Sales Date: 2022-08-01
348 Pages, 6.00 x 9.00 in, 6 color photos, 3 maps, 10 graphs, 1 figure
For Professors: Exam Copies
Christian organization, education, and leadership are changing. Headlines note rising religious disaffiliation ("the Nones"), moral failures by religious leaders, and the mounting crisis for religious education. Research on congregations, Christian higher education, and theological education also paints a dismal picture: declining engagement and growing fragility. These trends have changed the landscape that surrounds Christian thought and practice, but the story of local communities presents a more complex portrait: communities are also coalescing around vitality, wisdom, and hope.
Adaptive Church explores what it takes for communities of faith to respond to uncertainty and shifting organizational environments. Based on fifty-two interviews and four years of empirical work, Dustin Benac charts a theological paradigm for collaboration and community in a changing world. He pioneers an interdisciplinary method that identifies the ecclesial ecology as the primary site to discern how Christian communities and leaders adapt to mounting challenges. Moreover, he provides the first in-depth analysis of a novel form of organizing religious life—a "hub"—by telling the story of how collaborative partnerships are creating new structures of belonging in the Pacific Northwest. Neither megachurches nor denominations, these hubs are networks that anchor religious life within a particular community and facilitate webs of connection across Christian institutions. Illumined by wisdom drawn from the Christian tradition, they pursue a particular way of life, one sustained by six complementary forms of leadership that express the possibility of collaboration and community in a changing world.
Benac contributes to a new and emerging field at the intersection of practical theology, organizational theory, sociology of religion, and leadership studies. For leaders and communities facing uncertainty, Adaptive Church provides a template for change within and beyond the forms that have historically guided Christian organization, education, and leadership.
Introduction: Collaboration, Community, and Change in the Pacific Northwest
Part One: Organizational Environments
1. "The Church Has Always Been Nimble": Church Engagement on the Edge of Christendom
2. "Hope and Care in the Neighborhood": Refounding the Church in Local Community
Part Two: The Nexus of Collaborative Work
3. The Structure of Adaptive Change: Organizing Challenges and Values for Communities of Faith
4. Anchors and Webs: Hubs as Fields, Networks, and Ecologies
Part Three: A Practical Theology for an Adaptive Church
5. Reimagining Church: Pastoral and Ecclesial Imagination for Adaptive Change
6. Adaptive Church: Patterned Practice for a Way of Life
Part Four: A Theological Paradigm for a Changing World
7. "We're Better Together": Wisdom, Presence, and Leadership for Adaptive Change
8. A Moment of Renovating Virtue: Adaptive Possibility beyond Certainty
Dustin D. Benac is Visiting Assistant Professor of Practical Theology at Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary.
In this study of two different experimental church 'hubs,' Benac illumines three key clues: the grounding-orienting power of place; the luminous revelatory shift from individualism to the profound connectivity of all life; and the call to pay attention to the ongoing creative-confounding activity of Spirit. Timely and evocative, this study points toward practical wisdom for a new reformation of Church now well underway.
~Sharon Daloz Parks, author of Leadership Can Be Taught: A Bold Approach for a Complex World
Adaptive Church is a fascinating exploration of how churches can and should respond to uncertainty and institutional change. The book is a good example of the way that empirical research can be used to help develop deep and important theological insights. As such, it is a significant contribution to practical theology and the emerging field of Theological Ethnography.
~John Swinton, Professor of Practical Theology, University of Aberdeen
Adaptive Church takes a deep dive into the activities, networks, and cultures of two innovative efforts to rethink and reshape Christian communities and organizations in the Pacific Northwest. By closely examining these efforts and thoughtfully reflecting on what they mean, Dustin Benac has written an informative book that helps us ponder anew how religious life in the twenty-first century might be organized.
~Mark Chaves, Anne Firor Scott Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Duke University
We may have just found the newest cartographer for the future church. Bucking the trend of gloom and doom predictions, Adaptive Church points to possibilities where most see only problems. With nuanced scholarship, top-tier research, and a radically collaborative style, Benac invites us on the journey of imagining new paradigms for faithful Christian community. Every now and then a book comes along with the potential to change the conversation for the church. This is just such a book.
~Mark DeVries, author, pastor, founder of Ministry Architects, and co-founder of Ministry Incubators
…Benac offers a realistic and actionable framework for how church leaders can find resources and create networks to strengthen congregations in a post-Christian America.

Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning
The Great War in European Cultural History
Part of Canto Classics
Author: Jay Winter, Pembroke College, Cambridge
Date Published: May 2014
Jay Winter's powerful study of the 'collective remembrance' of the Great War offers a major reassessment of one of the critical episodes in the cultural history of the twentieth century. Dr Winter looks anew at the culture of commemoration and the ways in which communities endeavoured to find collective solace after 1918. Taking issue with the prevailing 'modernist' interpretation of the European reaction to the appalling events of 1914–18, Dr Winter instead argues that what characterised that reaction was, rather, the attempt to interpret the Great War within traditional frames of reference. Tensions arose inevitably. Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning is a profound and moving book of seminal importance for the attempt to understand the course of European history during the first half of the twentieth century.

Study: Belly bulge can be deadly for older adults
By Associated Press and Carla K. Johnson | |
PUBLISHED: August 9, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 10:25 a.m.
CHICAGO — If your pants are feeling a bit tight around the waistline, take note: Belly bulge can be deadly for older adults, even those who aren't overweight or obese by other measures.
One of the largest studies to examine the dangers of abdominal fat suggests men and women with the biggest waistlines have twice the risk of dying over a decade compared to those with the smallest tummies.
Surprisingly, bigger waists carry a greater risk of death even for people whose weight is "normal" by the body mass index, or BMI, a standard measure based on weight and height.
"Even if you haven't had a noticeable weight gain, if you notice your waist size increasing that's an important sign," said lead author Eric Jacobs of the American Cancer Society, which funded the study. "It's time to eat better and start exercising more."
Other research has linked waist size to dementia, heart disease, asthma and breast cancer.
Bulging bellies are a problem for most Americans older than 50. It's estimated that more than half of older men and more than 70 percent of older women have bigger waistlines than recommended. And it's a growing problem: Average waistlines have expanded by about an inch per decade since the 1960s.
To check your girth, wrap a tape measure around your waist at the navel. No fair sucking in your bulge. Men should have a waist circumference no larger than 40 inches. For women, the limit is 35 inches.
The new study, appearing in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine, is the first to analyze waist size and deaths for people in three BMI categories: normal, overweight and obese. In all three groups, waist size was linked to higher risk.
About 2 percent of people in the study had normal BMI numbers but larger than recommended waists. Jacobs said the risk increased progressively with increasing waist size, even at waist sizes well below what might be considered too large.
The study used data from more than 100,000 people who were followed from 1997 to 2006. Nearly 15,000 people died during that time.
The researchers crunched numbers on waist circumference, height and weight to draw conclusions about who was more likely to die. Study participants measured their own waists, so some honest mistakes and wishful fudging could have been included, the authors acknowledged.
Four extra inches around the waist increased the risk of dying from between 15 percent to 25 percent. Oddly, the strongest link – 25 percent – was in women with normal BMI.
People with bigger waists had a higher risk of death from causes including respiratory illnesses, heart disease and cancer.
The study was observational, a less rigorous approach that means the deaths could have been caused by factors other than waist size. But the researchers did take into account other risk factors for poor health, such as smoking and alcohol use.
Some older adults gain belly fat while they lose muscle mass, Jacobs said, so while they may not be getting heavier, they're changing shape – and that's taking a toll.
A tape measure, or a belt that doesn't buckle the way it used to, "may tell you things your scale doesn't," Jacobs said.
Fat stored behind the abdominal wall may be more harmful than fat stored on the hips and thighs. Some scientists believe belly fat secretes proteins and hormones that contribute to inflammation, interfere with how the body processes insulin and raise cholesterol levels.
But Dr. Samuel Klein, an obesity expert at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is skeptical about that theory. Removing belly fat surgically doesn't lead to health improvements. That may mean it's simply a stand-in for some other culprit that is causing both belly fat and poor health. Klein wasn't involved in the new research.
Klein said the new study, while showing a link between waist size and mortality, doesn't pinpoint exactly how much belly fat is dangerous for normal, overweight and obese people.

The Restore Slieve Gullion Cairn project is implemented through The Ring of Gullion Landscape Partnership Scheme. The LPS is part of the Heritage Lottery Fund's programme to conserve and enhance some of the region's most treasured landscapes. The LPS runs from September 2015 until August 2018.
This project aims to restore aspects and conserve one of the country's most important built heritage sites. The tombs passage will be re-profiled to its original shape, graffiti will be removed, the chamber restored in line with the recommendations from the initial survey document, available from the download below.
To view the full project plan please download the Ring of Gullion Landscape Conservation Action Plan below.
A diverse band of volunteers, once again, made the climb to the top of Slieve Gullion to carry out repair work to the passage grave. We weren't TV famous this time, but we did carry out much needed work. Under the supervision of an NIEA archaeologist we removed stones from the chamber floor, lowering and levelling it, as well as cleared many of the stones from the entrance passage way. All the stones were reallocated up the sides to repair the new scars that were forming and to cover exposed concrete on the summit of the cairn.
Our final task was dismantling and rearranging stones that had been built up to make a wind break on top of the cairn. All in all a rewarding day.
