Is there a way, preferably PowerShell based, to extract all the configuration data for a particular web site, for installing that web site on site at clients?
Each website on iis7 will have its own Web.Config file. That is usually all you need to deploy a site to a live server, with the catch that these files can be setup for development use (show errors, etc). If you use a professional build tool, or deployment tool then you can have two web.configs one for deployment and one for coding. But most of the time you just update your web.config to turn off error reporting and switch out database connections before copying a site to a production server.
If you are looking to export Web Server Settings. IIs does have powershell scripts to export IIS settings, and even tools like Web Farm Framework to keep multiple IIS servers in sync.
If you can be more clear on what it is you are trying to achieve, we can help you better.

Q: Coming out of the habit of writing ifs/elseifs for every possible condition When parsing an xml document for its nodes or attributes, if the document is large, I would have a bunch of ifs and else statements.
Obviously, 100+ ifs does not make up maintainable code in the long run.
Rather than doing this, is there another better way? I read on Hanselman's blog about a friend of his who had the same situation and wrote loads of ifs/else if and generally poor code. Hanselman provided some snippets of a more maintainable way but the entire code isn't available so it's a little hard to understand exactly what (the whole picture) is going on. Life after if, else
I am using .NET 3.5 SO I have the full power of extension methods and LINQ available to me. However, I use .NET 2.0 a work so would also appreciate any solutions in v2.0. :)
My code looks very similar to the problem on Hanselman's site:
if (xmlNode.Attributes["a"].Value == "abc"
 {
}
 else if (xmlNode.Attributes["b"].Value == "xyz"
 {
     wt = MyEnum.Haze;
 }
I could just have a dictionary storing the values I am looking for as keys and perhaps a delegate in the value (or whatever I want to happen on finding a required value), so I could say if (containskey) get delegate and execute it, in pseudocode.
This sort of thing goes on and on. Obviously very naive way of coding. I have the same problem with parsing a text document for values, etc.
Thanks

A: If you need to map <condition on xml node> to <change of state> there's no way to avoid defining that mapping somewhere. It all depends on how many assumptions you can make about the conditions and what you do under those conditions. I think the dictionary idea is a good one. To offer as much flexibility as possible, I'd start like this:
Dictionary<Predicate<XmlNode>, Action> mappings;

Then start simplifying where you can. For example, are you often just setting wt to a value of MyEnum like in the example? If so, you want something like this:
Func<MyEnum, Action> setWt = val =>
    () => wt = val;

And for the presumably common case that you simply check if an attribute has a specific value, you'd want some convenience there too:
Func<string, string, Predicate<XmlNode>> checkAttr = (attr, val) =>
    node => node.Attributes[attr] == val;

Now your dictionary can contain items like:
 ...
 {checkAttr("a", "abc"), setWt(MyEnum.Haze)},
 ...

Which is nice and terse, but also isn't restricted to the simple <attribute, value> to <enum> mapping. OK, so now you have a big dictionary of these condition-action pairs, and you just say:
foreach(DictionaryEntry<Predicate<XmlNode>, Action> mapping in mappings)
{
     if (mapping.Key(xmlNode))
     {
         mapping.Value();
         break;
      }
}

If you avoid the lambda syntax and the dictionary initializers, you should be able to do that in 2.0.

A: The link you are referring to spells out one of my favorite approaches - populating a dictionary and using it as a map from your xml attributes to the values you're setting, etc.
Another "trick" I've used is taking an extension on that.  If your logic around containing a specific attribute is more than just setting a value, you can make a dictionary of attribute names (or values) to delegates, where the delegate sets your value and optionally performs some logic.
This is nice because it works in .net 2 and .net3/3.5.  The delegates can be nicer to setup in .net 3.5, though.
Once you have the map, then you can do a foreach loop on all of your attributes, and just lookup the delegate, if it exists, call it, if it doens't, move on/throw/etc - all up to you.

A: What you're doing here is executing a list of tests.  For each test, if a predicate is true, execute an action.  When a test passes, stop processing the list.  Right?
A couple of people have suggested using a dictionary, but the problem with using a dictionary is that you don't control the order of the items in it.  If you want to perform the tests in a specific order (which, as stated, you do), that's not going to work.  So a list seems like the way to go.
Here's a functional way to do this, assuming that the predicates are examining an XmlElement.
Your tests are instances of a class:
class Test
{
    string Predicate { get; set; }
    Action Verb { get; set; }

    Test(string predicate, Action verb)
    {
       Predicate = predicate;
       Verb = verb;
    }

    bool Execute(XmlElement e)
    {
        if (e.SelectSingleNode(Predicate) != null)
        {
            Verb();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

To populate the list of tests:
List<Test> tests = new List<Test>();
tests.Add(new Test("@foo = 'bar'", Method1));
tests.Add(new Test("@foo = 'baz'", Method2));
tests.Add(new Test("@foo = 'bat'", Method3));

To execute the tests:
foreach (Test t in tests)
{
   if (t.Execute()) break;
}

You've eliminated a lot of if/else clutter, but you've replaced it with this:
void Method1()
{
   ... do something here
}

void Method2()
{
   ... do something else here
}

If your method naming is good, though, this results in pretty clean code.
To use .NET 2.0, I think you need to add this to the code:
public delegate void Action();

because I think that type was defined in 3.0.  I could be wrong.

A: Well, I would use LINQ in 3.5. However, have you thought about using a typed dataset; is this a possibility or is the schema too loose? You could infer the schema and still reduce a lot of the gobbeldy-gook code. This is one approach.

A: Depending on the document and your scenario and what you use the if/elses for... if it's for validation of your XML document, validate it against a schema. If it validates, you can assume safely that certain elements are present...

A: It's a bit hard to tell what you need to do. If it's to set one variable based on an XML attribute then the one line approach Hanselman alluded to is the most elegant.
MyEnum wt = (MyEnum)Enum.Parse(typeof(MyEnum), xmlNode.Attributes["a"].Value, true);

From the brief example you provided it looks like you may need to set the variable based on different XML attributes and if that's the case you may not be able to get around the need for a big if/else block.
If you do have a semblance of structure in the XML you are processing it can sometimes be easier to process an XML node as a DataRow. If your XML is all over the place then this approach isn't much good.
DataSet xmlDerivedSet = new DataSet();
xmlDerivedSet.ReadXml(xmlFilename);

foreach (DataRow row in xmlDerivedSet.Tables[0].Rows)
{
    MyClass xmlDerivedClass = new MyClass(row);
}

A: If you are doing processing for each big node, you might also want to have some specific typed xml reader classes to more cleanly integrate separate it from the actual logic of the application.
Lets say the processing you are doing is for some good amount of customer data you are receiving in Xml. You could define a class like:
public class CustomerXmlReader
{
    public class CustomerXmlReader(XmlReader xml){}
    public Customer Read()
    { // read the next customer
    }
}

This way the rest of the application just keep working with the Customer object, and you avoid mixing it with the Xml processing.

A: What Scott Hanselman is describing, once you clear away the implementation details, is a straightforward table-driven method.  These are discussed in many books, such as Steve McConnell's "Code Complete", chapter 12 (either edition.)  Also discussed on Stack Overflow,

On Mom | Tribute to Elaine | Messages from the Email List on hearing of Elaine's Passing
On Mom
By Judy Herod
Your mother was a remarkable woman. I hear it everywhere. To us, the qualities that set Mom apart and made her extraordinary in so many people's eyes, were quite ordinary. To live meant striving tirelessly, it meant being fueled by passion for one's beliefs, it meant railing against injustice and forging one's own path. All of these were the norm in our house.
But you know this about my mother. The reason I chose to speak is to share with you some of her life story -- much of it through her own words. She began writing her autobiography at the request of Judy Gorman of New York, who is writing a book about her experiences with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and her autistic son. Mom did not get as far as we wish she had, but what she wrote offers many clues into the shaping of a character that was truly 90 per cent grit, spunk and determination.
Elaine Gloria Reichbaum was born at home in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 18, 1921. The family was poor. Her father was not around much. Grandparents, uncles and aunts lived together in the small house. Her mother, Jenny, was an invalid from the time of Mom's birth, but her love was a powerful force in Mom's life. Mom writes… "She, Jenny, adored me and I think that first year of love gave me the strength to carry on through the rest of my life - until Judy became ill."
From her earliest days her boundless energy showed. She was into everything, and her German granny called her a Koch leffel – a mixing spoon. Sadly, she was blamed for her mother's ill health, but she did not accept this.
"I knew that I did not make my mother sick, and I think that was the start of my losing respect for authority figures and what they proclaimed," she writes. "If that is the start of believing in yourself, then it started there!"
Many years later, when a New York gastroenterologist blamed Mom for my colitis, she writes: "I would die before I would believe this and, thus, began the fight of my life to save her and save me."
She grew up during the Depression, and the family moved every school term as her father searched for work. From Pittsburgh, to Brooklyn, back to Pittsburgh, to Baltimore, back to Pittsburgh and on and on… Mom never got over this. The most crushing move came six months before she was to graduate from Forest Park High in Baltimore, where the family had finally put down roots. Her mother, Jenny, died and the family's short-lived stability ended. "All dreams of going to college were smashed," she writes. She was forced to move in with relatives in Brooklyn and her working life began.
The war was on. I continued working as a secretary and sold war bonds in front of the Astor Hotel every night. How I remember the mobs of people at Times Square. At the start of 1943, after a few trips back to Pittsburgh and my Father's death, I returned to New York and decided to change jobs. Little did I know that the employment agency across the hall at my old job, was recruiting help for the Manhattan Project. I thought that when they sent me to the Teacher's College at Columbia University for an interview, I would be working for some faculty member. In two days, they called and gave me a map of the campus and told me to go down 3 flights of stairs to the geology building. When I descended, I saw two guards standing at a barricade and, giving them the pass, they opened the door to the… "beginning of my life."
The first person she met was introduced to her this way: "Elaine, this is Herb Gottschall, and he won't forget your name because his fiancée's name is Elaine."
I thought, "Oh, what a lucky girl she is!"
I don't need to refer to Mom's words to tell you this part of her story – I know it well because she never let us forget that Dad was her knight in shining armor. Obviously, his engagement to that other Elaine didn't last. Mom and Dad were married in New York on October 8th, 1944. He proposed to her by leaving a small wrapped package on her typewriter – a diamond engagement ring – on her birthday, August 18th, 1944.
When the pilot plant project at Columbia University -- separating Uranium 235 from Uranium 238 – ended, they moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Joan was born in Oak Ridge on April 23, 1947. Five and half years later, I was born in New Jersey on December 23rd, 1952.
Mom writes that she recognized signs of illness in me from early on. Nose bleeds, night sweats, months of persistent diarrhea. The awful night terrors began when I was 3. I remember them vividly, then the toilet filled with blood – many of you know the story of my illness.
A parade of doctors across the United States, lots of emotional trauma to an entire family, a dying child, surgery imminent, many scars, so let me skip to our beloved Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas, the 92-year-old New York physician whose Specific Carbohydrate Diet saved our lives. I was eight years old.
Unfortunately, Mom's story stops here. The last words she wrote of her autobiography are these:
When we started making arrangements for the surgery, I began to cry. That was when this doctor said, "What are you crying about, Mrs. Gottschall? You've done this to her!" I went home and closed my bedroom door and cried for about two days nonstop. It was then that my friend called. On her way to visit me, she stopped in the supermarket and bumped into a third person and told her about Judy. This woman said, "Tell your friend to call me immediately and I will give her the name of the doctor who saved our celiac twins." I called and she gave me Dr. Haas's telephone number and within 48 hours we were at 91st and Park Avenue."
Finally, to fast forward this story even more… I showed improvement within days on the Haas diet. There were setbacks over the years, but ultimately a total cure. On Dad's urging, at the age of 47, Mom entered university and began her scientific pursuit of the truth. She earned degrees in nutritional biochemistry and cellular biology. In 1987, Mom and Dad published Food and the Gut Reaction. Ten editions later, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, as it was renamed, has been translated into seven languages. Mom's unwavering commitment – which is today her legacy – to get the word out and spare others from needless suffering, never abated.
Tribute to Elaine
By Jodi Bager
Have you ever heard of The Butterfly Effect?
The Butterfly Effect goes something like this: The flap of a butterfly's wings in Central Park could ultimately cause an earthquake in China. So say the proponents of "chaos theory", who use The Butterfly Effect to describe how small and apparently insignificant incidents can set in motion a chain of events with far reaching disastrous consequences.
So what term could be used to illustrate ostensibly small incidents which result in miraculous events? What term would you use to explain the tremendous impact that the work of one seemingly ordinary mother had on thousands of people the world over? What would you call that effect? Well let's just call that The "Gottschall" Effect. Years ago Elaine's Gottschall began a journey that set off a chain of extraordinary events altering more lives and generations than she ever imagined. The miracle of The Gottschall Effect is immeasurable: it gave so many of us back our lives. It gave so many of us back our children. It gave children back their parents and husbands back their wives. And for me, in addition to all this, The Gottschall Effect virtually changed the course of my life.
The list of words I can use to describe Elaine are endless -
She was energetic, spontaneous, funny, loving, fun-loving, hard-working, sympathetic, and generous of time and spirit. Elaine was educated, driven, interested and interesting. Elaine was a party girl. Elaine loved wine with dinner, she loved wine with lunch, heck, Elaine loved wine before lunch! She loved her celebratory beer. Elaine was an avid movie go-er and, as Lucy Rossett pointed out when we spoke on the phone, this tells a lot about Elaine - for it shows that she was a woman who changed with the times and found power in keeping up with world around her. Elaine loved eating and she loved food, and she loved SCD food best of all. Elaine was adventurous; she tried sushi for the first time, with me 3 years ago, and loved it - incredulous that she had lived a full 81 years without it. Elaine was ageless; she cultivated friends of all ages and with her there was no generation gap. Elaine was witty; she often reminded us that her 6th Nobel Prize was won for her almond flour muffins.
It is very important to me today to acknowledge Joan and Judy, Elaine's two gracious daughters. I thank you for this honour. You have been selfless in sharing your mother with all of us and for allowing this day to focus on this important part of her life. I know you know how spectacular she was, and to have spent so much of your lives sharing her with us shows that the generosity of spirit that was so much a part of her being, she undoubtedly passed on to the two of you. From all of us, I thank you for lending us your mother. And please know that although the loss we feel is great, we know that you two have lost the most of all.
Elaine, I know you are watching us. You will be proud of what we do. We know we will forever be guided by your forceful, nudging hand. We will continue to plant the seeds and we promise Elaine, we will prove worthy of the legacy you have entrusted to us.

Thank you for posting the information that I was about to pass on. I wish I could be at her funeral, but am unfortunately recovering from bacterial phnemonia which I probably got on the plane visiting my kids in NY last week. I don't think it would be wise to make the attempt, and I know that Elaine would understand.
Besides being the strongest, most dynamic and energetic woman I've ever known, Elaine's powerful bright light was the beacon that brought so many of us health. For at least the past 5 years (after all, she'd say "I'm in my eigthies you know"), she and I joked about her death. What made it ironic, was that until just a few months ago, she had the energy of any five women I knew. I assured her that she still had way too much work to do, to quit any time soon. She'd pat me on the hand, fix me with her twinkly beautiful eyes, her impish grin and say "OK, a bit longer then". There will never be another Elaine Gottschall. But there will unfortunately, continue to be IBD. While none of us may burn with the light of Elaine's passion, each and every one of us must hold up our own small candles to continue Elaine's mission and light the way for the coming generations. We must continue to make the difference. As I said to her son-in-law Stu earlier "Im sorry for your loss.....and
mine"
Carlene Arnold
This is so sad for the world to loose such an amazing Lady.
Dear List Members,
Today we lost a true heroine. Elaine was one of those rare individuals who, having found her way through her own personal crisis in the form of her young daughter's Ulcerative Colitis, feels compelled to help those who are still suffering. The journey from illness to health that she and her family took was long and fraught with uncertainty. But at the end of that journey she turned back, retraced and mapped the route, so that others could follow in her path. In the process, she faced ridicule from the medical community and had to fight to be taken seriously. Elaine stood up to them, and in doing so, stood up for all of us who will ever suffer from IBD,
IBS, Celiac, ASD's, and the myriad other complications that arise from gut issues.
There are few individuals from whom I have learned so much or who have had such a profound effect on my life - not only that her work literally saved my life and gave me back control over my illness... not only her patiently teaching me SCD and the science underlying it, and inspiring and encouraging me to keep learning and to share what I learned.... but also in teaching me about tenacity, compassion, and resilience. I will forever be thankful to Elaine for having the curiosity and drive to find out why her daughter was helped by the diet, and the courage and conviction to spread the word to those of us in need.
Tammy Quilty
I am baffled. I read the post about Elaine's health a couple of weeks ago. And thought I'll write her note. Didn't..............procrastinated...............and now ...
Reading the posts I am so so sad, crying, my heart is full of pain & grief. With blurry eyes and a sniffley nose I will say that Yes Elaine saved my life too. 3 1/2 years ago I was on my death bed in a Peterborough hospital, depressed beyond belief, life was dismal, bleak and hopeless. I was not sure of how I could go on and look after my three lil girl's. Doctors were not helpful. My senior room mate had grown children visiting her from TO. One of the visitors had a niece who had Ulcerative Colitis, like me. The visitor shared her miracle story. The niece had found A Way to live with relief, dignity and hope because of SCD. I located Elaine's book by phone at a local health shop & a friend brought it to me. Book in hand, I had A Way out. A way back to hope and life worth living with dignity. I sit here now, my UC managed with a quality life. I couldn't dream this possible 4 years ago. Doctors, specialists, surgeons, CCFC; no one was qualified to show be a lighted path until I 'met' Elaine through her book & then here on this site. Elaine Gottschall gave me a second chance at life. I will be eternally grateful. Thank you Elaine.
I will come to share my life & grief with other SCDer's on Friday in Cobourg.I would now like to say a BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU ON THIS SITE THAT ARE DEDICATED WITH CONSTANT VIGILANCE TO ELAINE'S RESEARCH & SCD. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHERE I WOULD BE WITHOUT ANY OF YOU. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Brent S Applebaum
I am deeply saddened.
Elaine gave me my life back.
Dearest T,
So many wonderful, silly memories are rolling around in my head, but for the life of me, I can't remember how we tagged Elaine "motorcycle Momma". Do you?
Love, Rachel
Yup... I surely do. It was shortly after someone hit her car... some 'kid' in a souped up Honda CRX came flying around the corner just where her long driveway begins up to The House on the Hill, and drove right into her. At the time, she was going, going, going at her usual pace - visiting Toronto SCDers, planning the trips to NYC, and to England (you were at all three of those big get-togethers with her), and we started to razz her about how she should just get rid of the car and get a motorcycle, because she was hell on wheels... I offered her my knee high leather boots, bike jacket and a helmet, and she jokingly accepted them... but with all seriousness, accepted the title of Motorcycle Mama, and proudly signed her posts to the list "MM" from time to time, when she was in that kind of mood.
Sadly, we never did take the picture of her all decked out, but we did take many others... perhaps it's time to update the various websites and put some of them up (she never did quite forgive me for snapping that picture of her gesticulating with her middle finger out - quite by accident - but then labelling it "Elaine discusses her feelings about the CCFA")...
Oh my! We lost a true heroine today!! Words just won't do her any kind of justice, sigh. But I KNOW that she will continue to live on in our hearts, and in the hearts of others who will come to know her dedication and spirit through her book, website, and wonderful stories that others will be able to tell about her. Elaine, we will always love you. {tears}
I just spoke with Marilyn (on the road as a result of Hurricane Katrina and without internet access until at least tomorrow). She asked that I convey her deep sorrow at the news of Elaine's passing. I've had a number of conversations with people tonight - both online and on the phone, and while talking to Marilyn about them and about Elaine, we were both struck by two common threads in every conversation - the fact that each person expressed the profound impact Elaine had on their lives, and that each person spoke of the total impact Elaine and her work had on her world. She left the world a better place for her having been with us - too rare a
quality, and a far-reaching legacy.
Many on the list have written of tears tonight. Despite our sadness at losing Elaine, please, let them also be tears of joy for the gift she gave us and life she lived. As Marilyn said, it is a life worthy of celebration.
Marjan van Hamond-Ernens
I just read the notice on Elaines passing , and I am so terribly sad . Also for me , here in Holland her teaching SCD saved my life in more ways than
one! I offer my condolances to her family and all the people of the mailing list wich whom I have been mailing for the past 4 yrs. I wished that I could hugg all of you out there , you will all be in my prayers. Farewell Elaine and thank you so much for all you have done for the world.
James Ewing
Another post expressing sadness and inexpressible gratitude for Elaine and all she has done for so many of us. Her work remains a powerful reminder of how we can, I am beginning to think must, take responsibility for the health of our bodies, finding solutions ourselves and move out of dependence on current medical paradigms.
She was and is a saint in her field.
I was hoping she would live long enough to see SCD become more mainstream. At least a good study to prove its merits and have the medical community stop saying that food has nothing to do with these diseases.
Rachel or t, do you know if there is something or someone (or multiple people) continuing her fight? Who will replace her on the lecture circuit? I'm wondering what we can do to continue to push for more research, to continue to get the word out. I'm hoping she organized her research foundation or has all of this in place. I know there are enough of us that are improving/have improved in order to continue the fight in an underground way. Yet I can't help feel that more could be done.
Someone suggested that if CCFA were to be in charge of a study, they would intentionally manipulate it in order to discredit the diet. (Too much power amongst the pharmaceutical giants.) And to petition them to do something would result in evil failure. (my words)
So I'm wondering where to go with it all. We need an article at the very least, to announce her passing, and the incredible fight she spent her lifetime to achieve. And how many thousands of people have been saved by her.
If she cannot be alive to say "I told you so", at least we can continue her fight so her work can be reached to all those suffering willing to try a diet.
What should we do now? Is there an organized front to replace her? I'm ready to fight, I just don't know where to direct my anger.
Dear Deborah,
There are so many of us that continue Elaine's fight. Elaine called it a grassroots movement, and if each of us healed, (and our numbers are impressive) touches a handful of similarly distressed, we will eventually reach everyone that is in need of what we have to offer. If I were to keep count, besides the thousands that have passed through this list, there is probably another thousand that I've spoken to through family and friends, since being healed through the SCD.
I haven't wanted to discourage your CCFA battle, but I've seen it come to nothing too many times, to have much hope for success from that direction. You can't expect a for-profit conglomerate to cut it's own throat. I continue to give a book to every doctor I come in contact with and lord knows, it's been too many doctors of late. I know that Elaine did set up something for research, but we'll have to wait a bit to find out more about it. To my knowledge, the books will continue to be published and sold through the family. As for directing your anger, who knows? Look what Elaine managed to do with hers ;-)
Well said Debora! I myself have been on SCD for almost 2 months now and have seen such a dramatic improvement that I thank God for Elaine & having found her book, every day! Though I did not know her, I am saddened by her passing, and hope we as a collective group can continue to share and promote her life's work. May she rest in peace.
I would like to offer my condolences to Elaine's family and friends. I only knew her through her book and through those here that would speak of her from time to time. Her work got me through a very difficult time. Ultimately, I ended up with a very healthy lifestyle and healing. When we face doctors that just offer tests and pills, Elaine mapped out a diet that puts your health under your own control. It has been working well for me, and I can't be thankful enough!!
From Spain, I want also to share with the list my deep sadness. Elaine, with her book, helped me as she did with many of you. I'll be grateful for ever and she will be in my memory for the rest of my life. I also think that we all are the ones to continue the fight, just talking to people, just being healthy and alive, all over the world…We have the strength that Elaine's model gives us. I like the idea of the grassroots movement.
I don't know when, but I'm sure that the truth will finally win…thanks to its own power, and Elaine's name will be written in very big letters.
My condolences to her family and friends and a very big THANK YOU to Elaine.
I too offer my condolences. What a great loss. The only thing to do is to keep on going with her "healthy healing" and keep getting out there. To other patients who are willing, to doctors who are open to hear and see the positive results. There is always someone listening....the main task is not to give up!
I express my deepest condolences for a huge loss of our Dearest Elaine. Pray for her soul may rest in eternal peace.
Here is how I deal each day with having Crohn's needing to be on the diet, and now without elaine to guide us. I think of this saying.
A PEARL is a beautiful and valuable item that starts out as an IRRITATION to the clam. It is covered by multiple layers of calcium that only the CLAM can
make. My hope is that the irritation of crohn's/colitis will be covered over by the miraculous healing ability of the body so that when the disease is gone, all that is left is the PEARL that improves your life
I truly believe that ultimaltley we must heal ourselves. It is a journey that you take mostly alone. Others comfort and encourage you but the choice to do it, and the person accountable for your actions is always you and only you. It did seem like we needed elaine for everything, but she has left us her gift, and the best way to remember her, and I think what she would want is to pass on information and support to someone who has not yet started the diet. Can you think of a better gesture to commemorate her life?
Andrea O. K. Wright
Like many of you, I cried when I saw Carol's email about Elaine. I am
unspeakably sad, and will not try to express my sense of loss.
In line with Marilyn and t's conversation, however, I want to share a poem
that I wrote for Elaine last week and mailed to her. It is an expression of
just one way in which her approach to implementing the Haas diet was
innovative and how she imbued those basic rules (without bending them) with
her joie de vivre.
To Elaine Gottschall, Nutritional Nanny
"Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way."
-- "A Spoonful of Sugar" (from Mary Poppins), lyric by Robert B.
Your way is so much better,
more magical even,
than anything
Mary Poppins could come up with:
the medicine itself
can be sweet,
succulent,
savory,
or rich.
The medicine can be
honey-ginger chutney,
sweet and sour lentils,
lemon soufflé,
or raspberry mousse.
I picture delighted med school students
in their pharmacology books.
I picture the return of
drugstore soda fountains.
They'd dispense SCD shakes exclusively, of course!
I see SCD ice cream sundaes on the counter,
each with a real cherry on top.
Sabine Magdalena
I have always loved Mary Poppins, and since she will forever remain a great
nanny; on our behalf, she might as well have said:
"Just a spoonful of honey helps the medicine go down
In many cases, me too, meds are no longer needed. That's the way I like it.
Doo doo doo doo ... (KC and The Sunshine Band, Backstreet Boys...) Thank you
Elaine doo doo doo...
And there is some other happy SCD-tune:
"I don't want no sugar in my coffee
Makes me mean, it makes me mean."
What they just played on the radio was this, and I'll stick to it SCD-wise,
though I, again, have to borrow the words from someone else:
I Won't Back Down
Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down
(I won't back down)
and I won't back down...
hey I won't back down
(and I won't back down)
No I won't back down...
Thank you for your poetry, this is real comfort. I won't clip this mail, and I won't back down.
I would like to express my deepest sorrow on Elaine's passing and my enormous gratitude for her work in helping others and myself live a normal life. She will be sorely missed and & remembered dearly. I hope there exists others who will carry on the scrupulous work she devoted so much of herself to. My condolences to her family, friends, and all of us.
I wanted to say something else to Debora, about her petition to the ccfa. And then I saw the news about Elaine! I personally am awestruck, I surely hope that amongs the ranks will come a champion. To carry on her great work. I know that God holds a special place for Elaine! My condolences go out to her family and loved ones!
It was with sadness that I read about Elaine's passing. What a wonderful legacy she has left to the world!
I will forever be grateful for all I have learned from Elaine. Her work contributed to my life (and continues to do so) in such a huge way. I never knew her personally, but her presence on Earth made a huge difference in my life. I know she touched many other lives as well. Thank you Elaine!
Somewhere I read (maybe in Embraced by the Light?) That when we arrive in heaven we have the opportunity to see how our lives, our actions, our choices have impacted others. It's sort of like watching a movie with many,many plotlines, each one somehow connecting to something we said, or did (or failed to do). If this is true, then Elaine's movie will be several thousand reels long.
When I read that she had passed on, my first reaction was a terrible sadness, quickly followed by the thought that at last she will know just how much she was loved, that she will see the astonishing scope of her accomplishment. I'm thinking of that scene in It's a Wonderful Life, when George Bailey sees his brother's grave, and the angel tells him that because he wasn't there to keep his little brother from crashing through the ice and drowning, his brother didn't grow up to be the fighter pilot who saved a transport full of men. For each person who was made well by this diet, there is also a life set back in motion, a life that in turn affects how many others? The ripple effect of SCD seems nearly infinite.
Not a day has passed these last ten months when I didn't offer up a prayer of gratitude for Elaine, for her courage, her fortitude, her spark and creativity. She is this family's personal saint. I so hoped that one day I would get to meet her and tell her how I felt. I realize now that there wouldn't have been adequate words to express the debt I owe her. My daughter was sick, so sick she couldn't go to school. Then we found the diet, and life began anew. As I type these words I can hear the front door banging open downstairs, it's Maddie yelling "Hi Mom I'm home! And I'm REALLY hungry!"
My eternal thanks to Elaine Gloria Gottschall.
As I get older, the deeper the meaning the harder it is for me to find adequate words. words really cannot express how meaningful Elaines work has been for my daughter's life. I am sure that Elaine is deservedly with angels. Heartfelt best wishes to all who mourn her passing. She was an amazing woman who has influenced for the better countless lives. If anyone is working on getting some pr done for the foundation and its goals, I am glad to help.
Pat Lattanzio
Elaine's Miracle
Many years ago
Elaine's journey
To save her child
An unbelieveable saga
Which today
Encompasses
The entire earth
Bringing healing
For those
And, as it should be
Everyone who has been touched
By Elaine's miracle
In ways great or small
Will now pass her knowledge and love
Down through each generation
I sent this to Elaine a few years ago but feel the need to send it to the list at this time since I'm sure many parents can relate to it. Elaine will surely be missed!!!! Pat Lattanzio
I sit beside him
Silently crying
As his spirit
Slowly drains
And he struggles to achieve
What we all take for granted
Eating and nourishing his body
The effort is almost
Too much to bear
But then,
We discover
Crafted with love and science
By a woman
Who is the embodiment
Of love and science.
Again, I wait and watch
Hoping, praying
That this time
It will be different
The years of unshed tears
Are released
As I behold
My first-born son
Slowly leave the darkness of despair and pain
To embrace a new life
Filled with energy, joy, love
And the radiance
Of healing light.
Thank you, Elaine!
Elaine helped so many children around the world.. My daughter is one of those. If it wasn't for her who knows where our daughter might be. Elaine unselfishly gave of her time ... as I remember a few short years ago, that she herself was on the computer answering questions!! She was, and will always be remembered, as a wonderful human being that helped so many people. She did so with grace and fortitude - even when the medical establishment said she was wrong.
She will always be remembered by our family.
Hazelpone
What a sad day. I just read this and was very sad. I had just introduced a buddy of mine to SCD and it is making her feel better already. One of my greatest admirations of Elaine was that, unlike many other 'diets', 'programs', etc. she would tell people if she didn't think it was working for them so they could move on. She told the truth, and after the SCDiet, this was her second greatest gift. Seeing that her primary concern was people, not profit, made me trust her and her diet more, it also helped me to understand my body better. The fact that she gave individual attention, answering emails phone calls, et. impressed me even more. As I told many people about the diet over the years, these are the things I told them many times as I explained the difference between Elaine and others offering help for bowel diesase.
Even though Elaine is gone, her work will live on for all of us. To quote Rachel:"Im sorry for your loss.....and mine"
My regards to the surviving family members of Elaine Gottschall, she was a true trailblazer.
Absolute tragedy. Without Elaine I'd have (at best) been under the knife years ago. She'll never be forgotten, not by myself nor by the countless thousands of people worldwide who benefited from her work. My condolences to her family,
My thoughts are with her family at this sad sad time, love Poppet xxx
My love goes out to her family. Thank you for everything Elaine :)
I don't think words can express how much Elaine has done to change my life, and given me back some of the things I thought I'd lost forever. My thoughts are with her family.
I am so sorry to hear this. She has done so much good. Just today I told a lady with an autistic child about Elaine's book and she was so relieved to find something that may help. I send my loving thoughts and sympathy to her family. Thankyou.
Heartbroken and with sadness that can't find words I'd like to join in the thoughts by Luke below, that is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. Elaine gave me my life back, how can one ever, ever, thank enough...Her memory and work goes on, in all of of us.
I'm SO sorry to hear of Elaine's passing!!! What a blessing this dear woman was to me though I never met her.
Only yesterday I went to a dermatologist about my longstanding facial rash and knew as he was diagnosing it that he was only spouting the medical party line and doesn't really have a clue. That's the very reason I hadn't gone to a dermatologist sooner. I KNEW that they don't have a clue.
Thanks to y'all I've seen a dramatic improvement in my rash using the SCD, topical antifungals, and cultured cabbage juice. I made the appt. 2 months ago and by now it was virtually gone. If I'd had my wits about me on Friday I'd have cancelled the appt. but didn't think to and, of course, Monday was a holiday - so I had to go. I very nicely TOLD the poor ignorant fool of an m.d. what the diagnosis is, what had helped, etc., and he interrupted me to say that, no, it's rosacea -- which is an inflamation, probably geneticly passed on, and the treatment is steroids and antibiotics.
I asked what CAUSED it -- well, they don't know... I had TOLD him what caused it!!! Bad g.i. flora!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honeys, there are none so blind as those who will not see... and they may NEVER see. The person waiting to see him after me was a cute young drug saleswoman. My cultured cabbage juice costs me less than $15/month so no drug company will research THAT!!!
Thank You, God, for Elaine! Due to her generosity I will probably never need to use his expensive prescriptions 'cause I think with her nutritional regimen the rash is leaving never to return.
Blessings, Artful

Thank you for sharing your poems about Elaine's miracle work. They were lovely, as was she.
I'm sorry I never had the privilege and honor of meeting her, my saving angel . . . and am very sorry that I won't be able to attend her funeral.
For the past couple of months I've been dealing with a Crohn's flare and after suffering through a couple of weeks of denial . . . I re-visited Elaine's SCD (first time I went on her SCD was back in 1997 and I remained symptom free for 9 years, with no meds). As a testament to Elaine and all her hard work and loving efforts, my colonoscopy (done a day after her death) showed "inactive colitis"! Yet another success story. Indeed . . . thank you, Elaine Gottschall! You will forever be remembered lovingly.
MMallet
I am sure elaine appreciated that very much.. How wonderful for others to imagine and even more wonderful that it has been true for you and so many others. God bless her and our family's prayers go out to her and her loved ones. I cannot count the number of times I thanked God for her, a living angel, and her work will carry on.
MMallet UC 3+yrs
SCD.............
After 30 years of suffering with 'IBS', which turned out in the finish to be ulcerative colitis, within days I was well after following this diet strictly, and I now have a level of health I hadn't known since my teenage years.

New Faces in MLC
We are excited to introduce Anna Rosensweig (L) and Elizabeth E. Weber (R), the newest members of the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures!
Anna Rosensweig, Assistant Professor of French
PhD, University of Minnesota
Anna Rosensweig joins the faculty after a two-year fellowship as a Provost's Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Southern California. As a postdoctoral scholar, Rosensweig was one of six fellows selected from more than 930 applicants across more than a dozen fields of study.
Rosensweig's scholarship and teaching focus on early modern literature and culture, the intersections of literature and political theory, and performance studies. She is currently completing a book manuscript, Tragic Opposition: Rights of Resistance on the Early Modern Stage, in which she locates a new genealogy of rights in early modern tragedy. Rosensweig has also begun a second book, Building the Royal Body, which investigates how early modern dramas and political ceremonies align the king's body with elements of urban architecture. She has published on early modern drama, as well as on more contemporary subjects, from symbolist theater to the ethics of representing the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
In addition to the fellowship at USC, Rosensweig's research has also been supported by a year-long fellowship from the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation. Her work has appeared in journals such as The French Review and L'Esprit Créateur. She has presented papers at scholarly conferences, including the Modern Language Association and the American Comparative Literature Association. She also co-organizes the Early Modern French Studies Reading Group, a forum of the MLA Commons.
Elizabeth E. Weber, Visiting Assistant Professor of Chinese
PhD, University of California, Los Angeles
Elizabeth Weber's research has focused on the nineteenth-century trade in Chinese labor to the Americas (the so-called "coolie trade") and the numerous layers of meaning that the violences concomitant to that trade created in popular discourse in late Qing China. She has studied the nascent "coolie trade vocabularies" and shifting worldviews that emerged in Sinitic-script news and official reportage in immediate response to the trade (and more generally to Qing China's changing geopolitical position), as well as analyzed the later redeployment of fictionalized "coolie" suffering in nationalist writings of the early twentieth century.
She holds an MA in East Asian Studies from Yale University (2008) and completed a PhD in Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA (2015) with research support from a Fulbright-IIE fellowship (2012-2013). Prior to starting her position at the University of Rochester, she taught courses in Mandarin Chinese and modern Chinese literature at Pepperdine University in California.

Kayode Ajulo, lawyer and rights activist on Tuesday said the Yoruba people will not vote against Alh. Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election because Vice- President, Yemi Osinbajo is also in the race.
Atiku had picked Peter Obi, former Anambra state governor as his running mate while Osinbajo will be running again with President Muhammadu Buhari who is seeking reelection into office.
Ajulo, who said Yoruba don't vote based on sentiments said they always look at issues before deciding who to pitch their tent with.
"I want to believe that this may be the last time Atiku will have the chance to contest election, and I want to believe that he is aware and have realised this. All his steps and choices will be well calculated. The choice he made concerning his running mate is something that everyone is proud of. I know Peter Obi as a great leader who is well respected".
"The same thing with Professor Yemi Osinbajo, he has been able to function in the office with a posture that one is proud of. Yorubas are enlightened; we discuss politics of issues, not politics of sentiment. I don't believe picking Peter Obi will now make Yoruba vote against Atiku".
"If you really want answer to this, you can check what happened in 1999, and what happened in 2003, despite the fact that a son of the soil from Yorubaland, Olusegun Obasanjo contested twice, and being the sitting president; you will see that where he had the least votes happened to come from his kinsmen. We look at issues, which is one of the things of being formally enlightened. I am so proud of my race".

CNN's media takeover plan was just leaked by a former host
It's no secret that CNN wants to control media narratives in America. With that, they believe they can control the direction of our culture and politics.
Apparently they even have a plan. As CNN's media takeover was just leaked by a former host.
CNN's Brian Stelter has long been considered CNN's weakest show host.
He's constantly taking the brunt of the jokes about CNN at-large, and deservedly so. He's almost unbelievably untethered from reality.
That's exactly why his hilariously named show, "Reliable Sources," is being cancelled by the network.
But he did have a few insights about CNN's plan before he left.
On his final show for "Reliable Sources," Stelter implied that CNN should take over the media narrative entirely in the name of journalistic "integrity."
AP News reports:
"'Reliable Sources' host Brian Stelter insisted Sunday that he'll still be rooting for CNN even after his show was canceled this week, but stressed that it was important for the network and others to hold the media accountable…
'It's not partisan to stand up to demagogues,' he said. 'It's required. It's patriotic. We must make sure we don't give platforms to those who are lying to our faces. But we also must make sure we are representing the total spectrum of debate and representing what's going on in the country and the world.'"
It's ironic that, while Stelter outright lied on television for years at CNN on his show, his final words to offer on his show were chillingly honest about CNN.
Make no mistake: CNN wants to get to the point where they can literally deplatform anyone in the media with whom they disagree with.
He even said as much.
This just exposes how truly unhinged the mainstream Leftist media is.
They don't care about public discourse to find the truth at all, which is a major part of true journalistic integrity.
All they care is to bend the knee of everyone they can to control the political and cultural narrative in America and bend it to their liking.
This is yet another example of how the Left just cannot stand anyone who disagrees with them. Especially anyone with a platform.

PICKENS, LUCY PETWAY HOLCOMBE (1832–1899). Lucy Pickens, renowned Southern beauty, second of five children of Beverly LaFayette and Eugenia Dorothea (Hunt) Holcombe, was born on June 11, 1832, near La Grange, Fayette County, Tennessee, on the Holcombe plantation, named Westover of Woodstock. She attended La Grange Female Academy and in 1846, with her older sister, Anna Eliza, began study in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, at the Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies, which she attended for two years. Between 1848 and 1850 the Holcombes moved to Marshall, Texas. While awaiting completion of the mansion on their nearby plantation, Wyalucing, the family resided in a Marshall hotel. The Presbyterian church of Marshall was organized in the Holcombes' rented quarters. Beverly Holcombe became its first elder.
Lucy became highly acclaimed throughout the South for her "classic features, titian hair, pansy eyes, and graceful figure." In 1850, after a visit with the family of Mississippi governor John Quitman, Lucy looked in on the legislature, which then adjourned in her honor. Like Quitman, she espoused the liberation of Cuba. Her first affianced, identified as a Lieutenant Crittenden by one writer, died in a filibustering expedition of Gen. Narciso López. Subsequently Lucy, using the pseudonym H. M. Hardeman, wrote The Free Flag of Cuba, or the Martyrdom of Lopez: A Tale of the Liberating Expedition of 1851, a novelette published in 1855 by the New York publishers DeWitt and Davenport.
At White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, in the summer of 1856, Lucy met Francis Wilkinson Pickens, twice a widower and twenty-seven years her senior. Her acceptance of his marriage proposal, it is said, hinged on his acceptance of a diplomatic post abroad. President James Buchanan appointed him ambassador to Russia, and on April 26, 1858, at Wyalucing, Pickens and Lucy were wed. Lucy was a favorite at the Russian court. She gave birth to her only child at the imperial palace on March 14, 1859, and named her Eugenia Frances Dorothea Olga Neva (the last two names being added by the czarina); the daughter came to be known as Douschka (Russian for "little darling"), a nickname that she kept all her life. Though raised a Presbyterian, Lucy was converted to her husband's Episcopalianism while in Russia.
Foreseeing troubled times for the South, Pickens resigned his diplomatic post in the fall of 1860 to return home. He was elected governor by the South Carolina legislature and was inaugurated on December 17, 1860. By selling the jewels that had been given her in Russia, Lucy helped outfit the Confederate Army unit that bore her name, the Lucy Holcombe Legion. Two portraits of her were used on Confederate money-one on the one-dollar notes of June 2, 1862, and another on the $100 notes of December 2, 1862, April 6, 1863, and February 17, 1864. Mrs. Pickens was vice regent for South Carolina in the Mount Vernon Ladies Association and was also the originator and president of an association that sought to erect a monument to the Confederate dead of Edgefield County, South Carolina. She died at her home, Edgewood, on August 8, 1899, of a cerebral embolism, and was buried near her husband and daughter in Edgefield Cemetery.

Why can't it be this way when you have general questions about parenting and your child's development?
What do you do when you can't find the answers on your own and want to consult with a developmental specialist? Do you have to go into therapy?
Consider asking a local child and adolescent therapist if they are open to what I call a "consultation" relationship.
I didn't do therapy, but as a diagnostician and child development specialist, I allowed parents to come in with their list of questions with the understanding that it's consultation and not therapy.
I explained that I might not be able to answer all of their questions because I don't know their child.
Over the period of 24 years when I had a private practice, parents came in repeatedly when their kids have reached new developmental stages and they want to be prepared for "what's next".

Q: Trying to populate dynamic form fields with Ajax database call I just about have this working but am stuck on the final bit. I have a dynamic html form that the user can click on a link to add additional fields below the existing parent field. These dynamic fields include a  list which is pre-populated with DB entries. Next to the select are two empty text inputs that I populate with another ajax DB call once the user has selected an item from the  list.
I can get this working when there is just a single additional dynamic form field added, but when there is more than one, selecting an entry from the  field will only alter the text values of the first dynamic field.
This is the code that populates the  field and builds the other html table and input elements that the user can add:
$php_var = htmlspecialchars($_GET['js_var']);

$sql = "call list_ad_locations_grouped('$php_var');";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql) or die("Query fail: " .
mysqli_error($conn));
$num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
$conn->next_result();

echo "

\n";
echo "<select name=\"newlocation[]\" id=\"newlocation\" style=\"width:
218px\" onChange=\"showUser(this.value)\">\n";
echo "<option value=\"0\">Select...</option>\n";
while ($rowz = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "<option value=\"". $rowz['locationID'] ."\">". $rowz['description'] ."
</option>\n";
}
echo "<select>	\n";

echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"available[]\"
id=\"avail\" size=\"2\">	\n";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"cost[]\"
id=\"cost\" size=\"7\" value=\" \">	\n";
echo "	\n";
echo "
	\n";
echo "
\n";
echo "
\n";

When selecting an item from the select list, the onChange event fires an Ajax call to another php page to make the DB query to look up the values to populate the remaining inputs. This works well with just one field added using this code:
 function showFields(str)
  {
   if (str=="")
  {
  document.getElementById("available").value="";
  return;
  }
   if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
    {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
    }
   else
   {// code for IE6, IE5
   xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
   }
   xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
   {
   if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
   {
    var data = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
    for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
    {

       document.getElementById("avail").value = data[i].theavail;
       document.getElementById("cost").value = data[i].theCost;
    }
  }
 }
   xmlhttp.open("GET","locationprocess2.php?l_var="+str,true);
   xmlhttp.send();
 }

This is the php page the takes the Ajax call:
if (isset($_GET['l_var'])){
$locID = htmlspecialchars($_GET['l_var']);

$query = "Select `cost`, `available` From locations Where `locationID` =
'$locID'";
 $result = mysqli_query($conn, $query) or die ("Query failed: " .
 mysqli_error($conn));

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
$thecost = $row['cost'];
$theavail = $row['available'];
$info[] = array( 'theCost' => $thecost, 'theavail' => $theavail );

}
echo json_encode($info);

}

else
{
exit;
}

It needs to loop through all instances of the form elements with the same ID's, but I am not sure how to accomplish that in the JS code that receives the JSON output.
Many thanks!


It was really nerve-racking the first time Cory went on to the radio, but after that it didn't really scare him because he had lots of confidence. Going onto the TV wasn't scary at all because it was pre-recorded and they took lots of takes so it could be perfect. Newspaper wasn't as hard as Jess and Cory thought because they just asked you questions and you had to answer. Taking the perfect photo was the biggest challenge, because it needed to be the right angle and be in focus.

Greene, Torkelson among touted prospects to debut so far

Even in this era of triple-digit fastballs and high strikeout totals, Hunter Greene has a chance to stand out.
The Cincinnati rookie went toe-to-toe with the powerful Dodgers on Saturday night, shutting them out for five innings before Trea Turner finally hit a two-run homer off him in the sixth. In just his second big league start, Greene threw 39 pitches that were 100 mph or faster, the most since pitch tracking began in 2008.
According to Statcast, Greene is averaging 100 mph with his four-seam fastball so far.
Greene is ranked as baseball's No. 22 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He's one of a handful of noteworthy newcomers who have debuted in this young season. Here are a few others:
— Bobby Witt Jr., Royals (No. 1 in MLB Pipeline's prospect rankings): The No. 2 pick in the 2019 draft, Witt started with a flourish, hitting a key double in a win on opening day. At this point, however, the 21-year-old shortstop is batting just .156.
— Julio Rodríguez, Mariners (No. 3): Jarred Kelenic had a difficult debut last year, and Rodríguez, another Seattle outfield prospect, is struggling so far at the plate as well. He's 4 for 32.
— Spencer Torkelson, Tigers (No. 4): There's a symbolic passing of the torch in progress in Detroit, with Miguel Cabrera closing in on 3,000 hits while Torkelson shows off his power. The top pick in the 2020 draft has homered twice in his first nine games.
— C.J. Abrams, Padres (No. 9): The injury to Fernando Tatis Jr. gives Abrams an opportunity, but the 21-year-old shortstop is 3 for 26 so far. He did hit his first career homer Thursday.
— Nick Lodolo, Reds (No. 41): The 24-year-old lefty could form a nice partnership with Greene in Cincinnati for years to come. He made his debut Wednesday, allowing five runs in four innings in a start against Cleveland.
— Bryson Stott, Phillies (No. 44): Stott has already started at second, third and shortstop for Philadelphia, but he's 4 for 26 with just one extra-base hit.
— MacKenzie Gore, Padres (No. 85): The No. 3 pick in the 2017 draft, Gore finally made his big league debut Friday, allowing two runs in 5 1/3 innings against Atlanta. Gore was one of the game's top prospects, but he struggled at Triple-A last year, and his current MLB Pipeline ranking suggests expectations are more tempered now.
— Matt Brash, Mariners (No. 97): Brash wasn't selected until the 113th pick of the 2019 draft, but he tore through two levels of the minors last year, then made his Mariners debut this past week without ever pitching in Triple-A. In two starts for Seattle, he went 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA, and he earned his first win Sunday against Houston.
— Seiya Suzuki, Cubs: The 27-year-old outfielder is closer to a finished product than a prospect after coming over from Japan, but adjusting to the major leagues isn't easy. Chicago has to be thrilled with his start — he's 10 for 25 at the plate with four home runs.
— Steven Kwan, Guardians: The 24-year-old Kwan isn't in MLB Pipeline's top 100, but he's putting himself in the Rookie of the Year discussion early after going 8 for 10 with three walks in his first three games. He's now hitting .385.
TRIVIA TIME
Who was the last Rookie of the Year whose team won the World Series that same season?
LINE OF THE WEEK
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered three times at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night in Toronto's 6-4 win over New York. Two of his homers were off Gerrit Cole, who later tipped his cap after Guerrero doubled off him.
COMEBACK OF THE WEEK
The Mets are off to a good start under new manager Buck Showalter, but New York let one get away Monday. The Mets had a 4-0 lead in the eighth inning — and a win probability of 97.3%, according to Statcast — but then Philadelphia scored five runs in the bottom of the inning and won 5-4.
TRIVIA ANSWER
Buster Posey earned National League honors in 2010, the same year his San Francisco Giants won it all.

Become the "you" God made you to be!
Do you feel like you're just going through the motions, wasting your life, or living in a fog with no real idea of why you're here and what you're supposed to do?
Then it's time to take steps to change your life and be transformed! Live your life with purpose, clarity, direction, and meaning.
Your value comes from what you do, and the only way to be more valuable or significant is to do more, achieve more, have more.
You have no value and you'll never be good enough.
God couldn't possibly use someone like you.
Leaving conformity is facing these lies head on and replacing them with truth—about God, about you, and about how He made you. It's helping you to move from where you have been to where God wants you to be, whether that's in a time of transition but not knowing where to go or in a time of success but desiring a higher level of more meaningful success.
[/tab] [tab title="Is Coaching For You?"] How do you know if coaching is for you?
Are you successful, but not sure that what you're doing really matters or is what God made you to do, or that it's not really serving Him like you think you should?
Do you want to know God's will for your life, how He uniquely designed you to serve Him?
Do you want to move from "good" to "exceptional"?
Does your career feel like a job?
Are you tired of going through the motions of life and want to actually start living?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you've come to the right place! Christian Life Coaching is all about helping you get from where you are in your life to where you want to be—and, more to the point, where God created you to be.
[/tab] [tab title="A CHRISTIAN Coach"]I'm here to help you understand the unique strengths, gifts, talents, abilities, and passions God has given you, and then help you be the best steward of those gifts you can be. That means finding your purpose, setting goals and developing a plan to reach them, and motivating you to go where God wants you to go.
Some life coaches advertise as "Christian" life coaches, but really just use secular approaches, techniques, and values, insert a Bible verse here and there, promise physical health and financial wealth, and pay some lip service to "God's design". That is not me. My goal and purpose is to provide Christian life coaching that is Christ-centered and glorifies God above all. I offer teaching and life coaching designed to help you achieve your God-given dreams and goals, and to grow into all that Jesus created you to be.
Gain a greater understanding of who God is, who you are in Him, and what success truly means for you.
Know your best features and enduring qualities.
Develop a Life Purpose Statement, which you will use to guide virtually every major decision you make–and which will make those decisions simpler.
Studies indicate that people who focus on their Strengths every day are 6 times more likely to be engaged in their jobs and 3 times more likely to report having an excellent quality of life.
85% of the process of having the confidence of proper direction comes from looking inward first. With clarity there, we can move boldly tothe best possible applications.
That doesn't mean God will just give you whatever you want. It means that as we celebrate and take pleasure in the Lord (not just in what He's done for us, but who He is), then He will give us what our hearts, in their deepest places, truly desire. And of course, the more we delight in Him the more what our hearts desire become what He desires for us.
Honor and harness the passions God has planted and aligned in your heart.
He put them there for His pleasure, to serve Him and to do His will.
To live the life your were called to, the desires of your heart must be part of the plan.
When we blend together Purpose and Passion with the other ingredients that make up your authentic self—not who others think you are or should be, or who you think you should be, but who you truly are—the desire to act will move you to a new and better place.
If you want to move towards the life God has for you, the life you've always wanted, please contact me.
The message at my church, Journey Christian Church, this past Sunday was about the claim "Jesus is the only way to heaven."

Charlottesville mayor says social media fed hatred and violence at 2017 rally

By Religion News Service |
PUBLISHED: April 23, 2018 at 5:55 p.m. | UPDATED: June 17, 2021 at 5:31 a.m.
JERUSALEM – Mike Signer, the former mayor of Charlottesville, Va., began receiving anti-Semitic messages in early 2017, when, for the first time, he started to speak more publicly about being Jewish.
Signer described some of these hateful messages and the Jewish community's fears during the sixth Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism, a conference organized by the Israeli government and held in Jerusalem in mid-March.
The messages began arriving months before the tragic events at Charlottesville's Unite the Right rally last August; he says he received hundreds of anti-Semitic social media messages, many of them targeting him personally.
"Someone sent me a cartoon of Robert E. Lee pressing a green button on a gas chamber with my head pasted into the cartoon," Signer recalled during a session devoted to confronting neo-Nazism in the United States and elsewhere.
Sharon Nazarian, the Anti-Defamation League's senior vice president for international affairs, noted that the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States jumped 57 percent in 2017, from 1,267 in 2016 to 1,986 last year. This was the second-highest number since the 1970s, when the ADL began keeping track of such incidents.
They included 163 bomb threats, 19 cases of physical assault and more than 200 incidents on college campuses in 44 states.
"The hatreds aren't new," Nazarian noted. "What we're seeing is the alt-right version of the white supremacy movement dating back 150 years."
What is new, Nazarian said, are the "vehicles" of hate. "The internet and social media have changed the landscape of public discourse."
In a study, the ADL counted more than 2 million anti-Semitic tweets, many of them directed at Jewish journalists.
Signer said that in July 2017, an offshoot of the Ku Klux Klan marched in Charlottesville carrying signs saying "Jews are Satan."
By the time thousands of white supremacists converged on Charlottesville for the Unite the Right rally a month later, the city's Jews had relocated their Torah scrolls, out of fear their synagogue would be attacked.
"We had seen a message saying, 'We need to burn these Jewish monsters to the ground,'" Signer said.
The former mayor, who still serves on the City Council, added that the events of the past year helped the municipality and Police Department learn valuable lessons about how to best deal with neo-Nazis and other anti-Semitic and racist groups.
The police, who are not under the mayor's authority, largely dismissed the fears of the Jewish community, Signer said.
"The police were pleaded with to try to have extra security. The community wanted a police car and an officer" stationed in front of the synagogue. "The police responded that that wasn't necessary because they had snipers on the roof. But this led to a lot of fear of not being adequately protected."
While the Jewish community was not physically harmed, there could have been other consequences, Signer said.
"What if one of those consequences was Jews saying, 'I don't feel safe living here anymore'?
"That," Signer said of the anti-Semites, "is their goal."

Crete is special to me because As well as having a well deserved holiday after exams, I met some great people who I still keep in touch with even now.
Favourite restaurants in Crete: I stayed in Koutouloufari for two weeks, during this time I tried three or four of the restaurants around my hotel. All were great: well priced fresh food with friendly service.
Favourite accommodation in Crete: In October I am due to stay in Koutouloufari in the Stalis Appartments- any comments?
Favourite beach in Crete: Hersonnissos - although I\'m more of a swimmming pool person than beach!
You have to see in Crete: If you have the opportunity to visit Santorini I would strongly recommend that you do so. Although the ferry ride over there takes a good couple of hours (if I remember correctly) the views and atmosphere of such a beautiful island are not to be missed.
*** Not such a good idea though for people with mobility problems or young children.
Off the beaten path in Crete: I enjoyed walking around the villages to get a real sense of what was going on.
When in Crete be careful about The sun: drink plenty of bottled water. Also look after your skin- any sun burn will be very unpleasant.
Transportation: During my stay we used taxis and a few coaches. I would recommend either of these as the service was reliable and friendly.
Cultural Tips:Learn abit of the language, always goes down well if you make the effort.
Extra Notes: If there are any regular visiters to Koutouloufari out there. I would appreciate any comments- has it changed at all? Which are still good restaurants to go to?


Illinois Supreme Court strikes down Amazon tax - chicagotribune.com: "To avoid having to collect sales tax upon virtual checkout, some large Internet retailers, including Amazon.com, cut ties with affiliates in Illinois, which one trade group said numbered about 9,000. After the law passed, some prominent Illinois-based Internet businesses, such as CouponCabin.com and FatWallet.com, fled to Indiana and Wisconsin rather than be cut off from commissions from Amazon.com, Overstock.com and others."
When will the hogs at the public trough realize that more tax and spend will drive away those who are most productive?

The White House Admits There's a Wage Gap at the White House
Hillary Crosley Coker
On Tuesday, President Obama will take another stab at balancing pay inequity between America's ladies and gents with the Paycheck Fairness Act. The law would regulate how private companies pay their employees to weed out gender discrimination. Most of us are familiar with the statistic noting that women make 77 cents for every dollar men make, but did you know that that inequity also lives at the White House?

Lucien Laviscount Dishes on Red Flags and Romantic Deal Breakers
Thanks to Obama's pay transparency, also known as telling the Internet what White House staffers make, it's public knowledge that female White House workers make 88 cents for every dollar their male counterparts make, which is a bit of a step up but obviously not enough. But for their specific inequity, the difference lies in their time on the job, among other factors.
The recent study, by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, showed that the median annual salary for women in the White House last year was $65,000, while the median annual salary for men was $73,729. The study was based on White House salary data.
The pay in the White House most likely mirrors the situation across the federal government, Ms. Hartmann said. "Women still tend to have lower pay grades than men do, because the men, on average, have more years of experience."
Women hold more lower-level positions than men in the White House, Obama's press secretary Jay Carney told the New York Times, however when men and women have the same jobs, their pay is also the same. We can actually look this up on the White House website thanks to that whole pay transparency thing. He says the 88 cents statistic is skewed by the salaries of the lower-level positions, where women outnumber men. Obviously, Carney's point illuminates another inequity — fix the stats by hiring more women in higher level positions or more men in lower level jobs.
Elsewhere, the wage gap is a partisan issues with Senate Democrats pushing to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and Republicans prepared to filibuster it because women are the enemy of their political success. What else is new?

On the other hand, if you're curious about whether you're suffering a wage gap at your job, and you don't work at the White House, there's actually an app for that. A systems analyst named Laquitta DeMerchant, along with her software engineer husband, crafted an app called Aequitas that crunches all of the newly released job data numbers to deduce whether you're being taken for a ride. How awesome is that?

Q: Evaluation of $\int\frac{x}{\ln(x)} \mathrm dx$ I know that when you integrate $\frac x {\ln{ x}}$, you get an answer in terms of the exponential function? I was just wondering how would one begin doing this. I tried integrating by parts, but the integration soon began to repeat.

A: Let $u=\ln x$ so $\mathrm d u= \mathrm d x / x$. Then we end up integrating
$$(x/\ln x) \mathrm d x = (e^{2u}/u) \mathrm d u$$
Considering the definition of the exponential integral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_integral with $v=2u$ gives the answer.
Note: This function does not have an elementary expression involving only familiar functions and rational functions. In particular the function $\mathrm{Ei}$ is not the "exponential function".

A: Use $u$ substitution.
$$\int\frac{x}{\ln(x)}dx=\int\frac{2x}{2\ln(x)}dx=\int\frac{2x}{\ln(x^2)}dx$$
$$u=x^2$$
$$\int\frac{1}{\ln(u)}du=li(u)+C$$
Therefore
$$\int\frac{x}{\ln(x)}dx=li(x^2)+C$$
Where $li(u)$ is the logarithmic integral function.
