Here a list of Unusual software bugs exceptionally difficult to understand and repair:
The hardest bugs to find are exactly those bugs that you can't reproduce consistently. Could be from memory corruption, concurrency, or other things.
Annoying bugs but not as hard as the above include those that will happen on someone else's computer consistently but not yours.
The hardest bug to find is the one that doesn't exist. This typically happens when you have been given an inaccurate set of requirements by management, and users expect the software to do things it was never designed to do. You'll usually get a vague bug report about the feature not working or getting broken, and only with enough detective work do you find that it's working flawless according to the specs, which were totally wrong.
This is especially time-consuming if you've inherited code from other programmers, because you're not fully aware of what features the software does and does not support.
Bugs introduced by the compiler.
Way back I worked for a company that used an in-house compiled language and bugs would show up in "production" code but would work just fine if compiled in "debug" mode.
Bugs that aren't bugs but your fault. I.e.:
(I hope I'm not the only person who is sometimes a little absent-minded)
Bugs related to the current date.
I once heard a story about a bug that couldn't be reproduced but it kept comming back. Eventualy they found out, the bug only occured in the last three months of the year, on days 10-31 and on a wednesday. Those dates: Wednesday xx-xx where just one character to big for the buffer overwriting other data.
The ones that arise because of inadequate requirements gathering and verification during the specification phase.
Years ago I worked on a CAD package that had been extended to help one user design liquid crystal displays. They designed the anode and cathode on separate layers and then performed a logical AND on the boundaries to see what shapes they'd get when the current was applied.
We had a long running problem where they'd report that the code failed but we couldn't reproduce the bug. Eventually we found the cause. They were using a scaling factor when drawing the shapes which led to rounding errors (we were using floating point values for the calculations - this was in FORTRAN back in the 1980s). Once we realised this we could reproduce the problem and fix it (by converting the routines to double precision).
Had the requirements been properly checked we would have never had this problem.
Inconsistent bugs in someone else's API, coupled with limited debugging info.
I was working on a realtime component of a massive distributed system (witten in c). All the components were kept in strict sync by a time daemon. My component passed all its testing, but once the release build was deployed at the customer site, it started crashing at seemingly random times. The only debug info I had was the core dump and a limited event log. The core dump indicated that it was dereferencing a null pointer that seemingly couldn't possibly be null.
The debug strategy involved trying to piece together history from the core and the code, adding additional events to the log, and waiting for the crash to happen again. Early on I started to suspect that the only possible way that particular pointer could end up null was if a certain call to the GetTime() function returned a time earlier than the previous call, but the core utilities developer insisited that was impossible. So I spent 3 days adding more logging, tracing through code paths, etc. Then, finally I got a log which caught the time daemon in the act of subtracting a millisecond from the running clock. The worst part is the other guy never apologized.
The bug you can't reproduce.
(Extra pain points if someone else swears the bug is there, but never when you're around.)
If you can't reproduce it, how do you know what to fix? If you try to fix it, how do you know if you've succeeded?
These aren't impossible, just painful: do lots of research, lots of reading code, lots of deciphering logs (hopefully), lots of conjecture, until you come up with a working theory. Then you need a way to test the theory, which sometimes can take a fair bit of creativity.
One of my early examples was back at the dawn of the web, I had been with a company for a couple months, and our ticket purchase system started crashing every 2-3 days. We could find nothing that triggered it directly. Finally I tracked a memory leak (by reading code, IIRC) which meant the app would crash every so many transactions done via the website. It had never been a problem before, as the webapp would usually be restarted (for whatever reason) before the leaked memory could pile up. Once sales picked up, we weren't recycling often enough, and kaboom.
Firmware bugs that you only get memory dumps to debug with and take days of continual runtime to reproduce.
Bugs which depend on digitization of analog input are some of the most hardest to find, especially when the analog input is from an RF subsystem; the RF itself is difficult to reproduce even with expensive test equipment and the data pattern often can't be measured or reproduced in order to feed it into the software in a simulation environment. These bugs are a multiplex of "data pattern bug" plus "time of day bug" plus "external setup bug" plus "cosmic ray bug". RF engineering in itself is often known as black magic; then interface it to a D/A for software processing and all bets may be off..
GPS projects for example might depend on the relative positions of 12+ satellites in the sky; try reproducing that!
The method for solving these bugs typically includes avoiding them in the first place, with a lot of simulation across many data sets. Often these data sets attempt to create the worst-case data (combinations of outliers) to stress the software.
For example Speech or Audio processing software developers have huge data sets which are run through the algorithms to detect data pattern errors in the algorithms.
In general, concurrency-dependend bugs, e.g. race conditions, can be pretty hard to find in testing and hard track down after they appear in production.
The one you haven't found yet.
The hardest bug to find is that of your compiler or hardware--when something you write a correct program for is malfunctioning.
I think it depends on the type of application, a low level C or asm is going to have a different "hard" bug compared to a web application running php and javascript.
Inconsistency will be a hard one though, when it appears to happen sometimes but not other times.
Copy-paste bugs
I know - these are not "the hardest", but significant too.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
inbounds Disc Golf is proud to announce the launch of our new disc golf resource: the inFlight Guide. The inFlight Guide is the Rosetta Stone of flight charts. Disc flight data contained in the guide comes from a total of 15 different flight charts and rating systems with as many as six different sources being applied to any one disc. Using multiple data sources has a smoothing effect on a disc flight path and eliminates outlier values caused by unnecessary bias, flight testing extremes, and minor rating errors, creating the most reliable flight data available as the "Relative Stability Scale" and is available at:

Cool !
WOW ! nicely done!
Disc seem broke down well, maybe a few disc that are a little off. Overall this would be a great help to new players looking to buy new disc.
I hope all can understand this.
Just a heads up that we've added a fourth flight chart to the inFlight Guide! We did some renovations, moved a few things around, and we were able to add a fourth flight chart to the inFlight Guide! Just like that, we're 33% more awesome!
Check it out the updated inFlight Guide at http://www.inboundsdiscgolf.com or http://inflightguide.net/
New Disc Added! Baseline flight data for the new MVP Volt has been added to the inFlight Guide and is available here:
As a reminder, the flight data in the inFlight Guide comes from a variety of sources. As additional flight data becomes available, it is possible that these flight values may change (e.g. get fine tuned) over time.
We currently have two contests running! If you haven't done so already, take a look over at our facebook page (http://facebook.com/inboundsdiscgolf) for some opportunities to win some inbounds Disc Golf gear.
Nice !!! I see alot of Hard Work has gone into Creating this New Flight Chart !! Great Job and Thank You !!!! :D

How can i filter the link given in "link to existing content".
As in the above image. I just want WSP BANNER TO BE SHOWN.
where WSP BANNER & CALENDAR are custom POST types
Any help will be appreciable.
Currently there are no ready filters available for this purpose. A ticket has been posted for the request.Lets hope we get one soon.
Instead of hardcoding your custom post types its better to create a filter hook and use it
Till then you can create your own filter.
Open includes/class-wp-editor.php and make folowing changes at line no 712
we just added a new filter instead of getting all the public post types
Then in your theme add following code to filter the internal link custom post type
if it's very very urgent, you may be want to edit class-wp-editor line 711 to
, otherwise leave AS IS
Check the file
More, in the same file, line no. 689, the function
Hence, you have to live with it! ;)
I wrote a plugin for that. It is not in the plugins repository yet, you can download it here:
Install it and then put this filter in your functions.php:
This plugin also has the functionality to replace internal links with shortcodes. If you don't want to use this, deactivate it like this:
Hope this will be useful for you!

Got to do some work for Khalil in Beijing this past week and took photos from his Timeless concert on the 23rd of July. It was great to be able to snap photos of the show and they hooked me up with some great seats too.
Here is a bonus photos, not included on my alivenotdead photo album:
Its been a very very long time since I last blogged on AnD. But to be honest, its been a long time since I've blogged anywhere. Even on my own websites, narom.net or wushuzilla.com, I blog with an increasing lack of frequency. Once a month? Pssh .... I've apparently lost my blogging mojo. Thats okay though, because other things have been a priority these days. A lack of blogging for me usually means an abundance of living. I've also been focusing more on my photography than my writing, which is a different but related issue.I have a few creative projects on the back burner right now, but nothing I'm going to let out of the bag at the moment. In the meantime, I'll post up a photo or two now and again just to let you all know that I'm still alive and breathing.Since AnD is an artist-related blogging system, I will post up more artist-related blogs -- specifically photo blogs, which I think are probably more interesting to you anyway. (Plus it will let Pat comment easily on what I post )Here is photo number 1:August 6, 2010
Austin, Texas, USA"Austin Sliders"Yes, they tasted as good as they look.
Back again with another Phlog (photo blog). This picture was taken during last summer's trip to the U.S. (Think of this as my way of sharing what I've been up to for the past 9 months.)August 15, 2010 | Driggs, Idaho, USA |
Replies:@Seeker09 - Good to see you too@Flagday - Yes, it was delicious. I'll try to keep in touch!@bvngo - Erm ... no. But good try!
A friend of ours, Grace, started a project called "Journey to China" where she brings non-Chinese to experience various Chinese cultural arts/events. For their first event they brought us to a Shaanxi-style Chinese opera school where we were introduced to various aspects of Shaanxi Opera. This photo is of a girl from the Ukraine who was used as a demonstration of Chinese opera makeup style and technique. She was quite the trooper.September 17, 2010
Today's Phlog subject is Adam V. Adam is a man of varied talents. Originally from Scotland, he came to China after high school and took a year of Chinese language at Xi'an Northwest University (西安西北大学) and then enrolled as a student at Shaanxi Normal University (陕西师范大学) studying Chinese Literature. 4 years later he graduated and was ridiculously fluent in Chinese. Now he works for a company that works on developing the capacities of young people through the arts. He is an artist himself and his guitar skills are quite impressive. He and his band of merry musicians play gigs around the city and we happened to catch them playing right next door to my university on Shi Da Road (师大路) at Scultping In Time Cafe (S.I.T. Cafe). (If you are in Beijing, you probably know of S.I.T. since they originally started in that city near the university area. There are a few in Xi'an as well and they are quite popular.)Here is a picture of Adam playing with his band.September 4, 2010
S.I.T. Cafe, Xi'an, Shaanxi, ChinaYou can see more photos from this event here: http://narom.net/2010/09/adam-at-sit-cafe/Replies:@Flagday - I love my MIL! She's really cool. You can learn more about her on her website here: http://www.gaellenquinn.com/ You can pick up her book too, which is a pretty good read. Check out the other photos of Moloka'i from my website too, when you have a chance. They can be found in this blog entry: http://narom.net/2010/08/summer-in-the-u-s-a-part-4-hawaii/
Our last stop during the summer trip to the U.S. was to visit Ruhi's mom in Hawaii. She lives on a small island called Moloka'i, located between Uahu and Maui. Honest, I took so many pictures that I wish I could post here, but I'm trying to keep my phlogs to just one picture ... or maybe 2. Okay .. 3. But thats the limit for today.Twist my arm whydoncha?

So, if you want 25 slices, each with different toppings, they can do that. Or if you want just one topping on the whole pizza you can do that too. We picked three different types of toppings for each pizza - Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken and the "Roma"@mhough: Nice to see you too.@Flagday: Carbs aren't the enemy. Sugar is! It just so happens that a lot of carbs turn in to sugar. ;-) ... lol.
Just thought I would share something here on alivenotdead.com, since it is related to my work as an "artist" (of sorts).
This past 6 months or so I've been getting some side gigs doing voiceover work for a few different corporate videos. One was for a construction company that had a display video at the Shanghai Expo, and more recently I did a video for the largest Kiwi fruit producer in the world (did you know Shaanxi Province is the world's largest Kiwi fruit production market?).
About a month ago I was asked to put together a demo of my voice. So i spent a few hours and put together the audio file that you can see on my profile page. It isn't exactly "professional" and I did it in a rush, but it was fun to do. Not too bad for a tiny mic and my laptop.
I tried to give a few different types of voices. One serious, one excited, one documentary-esque and one casual. I used Adobe Audition to edit the audio files.
Let me know what you think!
Two pictures today since AnD didn't seem to load for me yesterday ... August 3, 2010 | Bucca di Beppo @ Santa Clara, California, USA |This is Xtina's son, Reeve (a.k.a. My Godson), licking a strawberry at the Cheesecake Factory in Santa Clara, California.
July 31, 2010 | Roma Pizzaria @ Arcadia, California, USA |Taken during a gathering of friends in Arcadia, this pizza is not photoshopped. It is a 28" pizza! And we went through two of them. Just part of our 2010 pizza tour of the U.S. Replies:@peachy: yeah, the fries were excellent as well.]@rottendoubt: they most certainly were!@Flagday: They might actually be visiting us in the spring. Depends on a few variables.
Our friend Snow invited Ruhi and I, along with Fod and Lei, to her family's home for some New Year's dumplings. Seeing as how it took place on our "free day", we jumped at the chance and had a great time eating dumplings, watching some "Babies" and talking with friends.
I realize that to the random observer (i.e. "you") it might seem like I've fallen off the wagon with my wushu blogging and training. I haven't been training as much these days and haven't been writing much about wushu either.
The truth is, there is a reason for this. Maybe a couple reasons.
The first is that I am trying to finish my tea before re-filling my cup. Meaning, that I have a lot of things on my plate and I need to take care of them before I start focusing on my wushu again. There are many projects that I'm in the process of clearing out of my work-load and in order to do that effectively I have to really spend some time and focus on them.
This also stems from my understanding that I am much more effective in my endeavors when I focus energy on just a few things (even just one thing) instead of trying to "multitask" my life into oblivion. The truth is, multitasking is totally inefficient. Just because you can do more than one thing at a time doesn't mean you should. In fact, I really think that one shouldn't.
When you take the time to just focus on one important thing, doing it deliberately, with a concentrated effort and all your mindfulness, you are able to not only accomplish more in the long run, but you will get much more out of your task as well.
I used to write down a list of a dozen or so things that I had to do each day; a task list to end all task-lists.
Now? I just write down the one or two things I really want to finish. And I spend the necessary time to do each one. It allows me to do better quality work and get the most vital tasks taken care of.
So often we distract ourselves with mundane tasks like checking social networking, organizing our to-do lists, cleaning our desks and keeping our e-mail inbox open at all time just in case something comes in. Well, nothing is ever that important that you have to check e-mail on a constant basis. I try to check only once or twice a day if I can. And generally I just go through and answer them in batches once a day. Facebook and the like, while a lot of fun, are actually a significant drain on my time and energy. So I only check them once or twice a week. I'm probably going to start reducing the "friends" list there too.
The idea is to spend less time doing the less important so that I have more time to focus on the truly vital.
I do mess up from time to time and get distracted, but I'm far from perfect. and this is a skill that I'm developing, not an instant quick-fix. It is a good practice though, and I think it relates to wushu too, since one of the distinctions I've made over the years with wushu training is that, unless you are totally focused on what you are doing in class, you won't get the best benefit from your training. You have to be totally present in mind and body with wushu, and that is the same with the rest of your life.
Why not treat your work or school like you do your wushu? Focus on the basics at the start of every session, maintain your energy and create an optimal experience. You actually end up needing to spend less time on tasks when you use more of your focus and energy. As counter-intuitive as it might seem, not multi-tasking is actually more productive.
Anyway, so part of the reason I haven't been focusing on my wushu training these days is because I want to focus on getting these work projects out the door, thereby allowing myself more focus on my wushu later on. It is coming along and a few of my projects have started to get finished up.
Another reason is the recent work-trips I've been taking to Hong Kong. Traveling away from home means I have to cram a lot more of the things I do in Xi'an in much smaller time chunks. So, I end up being much busier. And while I'm home I feel it is most important to get my work done before I head off to the wushu guan.
That might just be an excuse, of course. Maybe I've lost some of my motivation for training. Since the athletes started training for competition I haven't been able to get as good of a workout. And I think I also have a fear of doing the "wushu start up" again, which is always quite painful. (When you are away from wushu and start up, it is never easy — and gets harder and harder the older you are.)
I've even been thinking about switching from nanquan to taijiquan, as I think that might be a little easier on my body and something I could maintain for a longer period in my life. Of course, if I just lost 50 pounds I would probably not have such a hard time training. Again — I might just be making excuses.
In any case, a combination of a lot of travel with limited time and an increasing drop in motivation to train is probably the second reason I haven't been as involved in my wushu these days.
I've also been going through a phase of re-evaluating my life. Not in a major way, but at least Ruhi and I have been thinking about ways to create a life with less physical, emotional, social and professional "clutter", so that we are able to have a lifestyle that is congruent with our belief that "less is more" and that you don't need to inundate your life with "stuff" in order to be happy and fulfilled.
As you noticed from my packing system for trips, I try to be as efficient and uncluttered as I can. I really don't own all that much stuff to begin with. But part of my personality is that I'm always looking for ways to be more efficient and uncluttered in my approach to various facets of my life; whether it is work, school, life or whatever. There is always a better way to do something and always new distinctions we can make in doing more (things, work, happiness, fulfillment) with less (stuff, clutter, tasks, distractions).
We're thinking about our work, about our living environment, our finances, and our involvement in activities to figure out what is the most important to us, the most ideal for our personal philosophies and figure out a way to integrate that with our lifestyle.
Some of the things we've been thinking about is eliminating some of the work we do. Or changing where we live to a more efficient location for her school, our friend and our interests.
Anyway, it is a work in progress.
The gist of all of this verbose-ness is that, in order to find your way, you sometimes need to step off the path and think about your true destination. The process of stepping back and thinking about your life is occasionally necessary and often times quite healthy, as it clarifies your mind, realigns your priorities and helps you step back on the path with a renewed sense of purpose and vitality.
So, here goes. I am stepping off the path and taking a look at my life and what I am doing.

Interdisciplinary Arts students challenge traditional forms of art-making, using a range of traditional and modern tools to create radically new contemporary art.
Columbia's Interdisciplinary Arts graduate program has been the worldwide leader in interdisciplinary arts study for 35 years. Highly regarded faculty of artists, a continuum of available technologies and matchless facilities—including a papermaker's garden and experimental lab spaces—distinguish the program and make it a rich source of rare and inventive installations.
The Interdisciplinary Arts Department offers a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts, a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts & Media, and a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Book & Paper Arts. Through intellectual rigor, cross-collaboration among disciplines and advanced studio practice, you'll turn ideas into fully realized and complex creations, and enter into the professional world of contemporary art.
The MA Intensive Summer is a low-residency program offering the same innovative curriculum as the current one-year MA degree, but scheduled across two consecutive summer sessions. The vigorous pace of the nine-week summer sessions is balanced with independent art practice and research under the guidance of Interdisciplinary Arts faculty in the interim year. You'll network, collaborate with a cohort of classmates from around the country and world, and create a contemporary interdisciplinary body of work.
We're happy you're thinking of joining our creative community. We work hard to make our application process as simple and fast as possible, but should you run into any concerns, we're here to help at any time.
If you can't make it to campus, don't worry! We have a full schedule of events all across the U.S. and around the world.

Tens of millions of people around the globe have been forcibly displaced by conflict, natural disaster, or persecution, seeking refuge either within or beyond the borders of their country. Humanitarian protection, whether for refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced persons (IDPs), represents a key policy area for many major immigrant-receiving countries as well as nations bordering locations where war, political upheaval, or natural disaster have disrupted daily life. The research offered here relates to the law and practice of protecting refugees and IDPs in areas of conflict as well as in industrialized nations, with a focus on secure solutions and effective institutional arrangements for comprehensive protection.
The term "refugee," like the people it describes, can cover a lot of ground. Sharon Stanton Russell, Research Scholar at MIT, maps out out who qualifies for refugee status, as well as the most pressing issues facing the community of institutions tasked to protect them.
Change is sweeping the systems that govern refugee resettlement. MPI Co-Director Kathleen Newland examines the most important trends and their implications.
Fewer opportunities may await asylum seekers in France, where stricter policies are overlapping with strained resources.

Scapa 225T Zone Coated Gaffers Tape consists of premium-grade Scapa 225 gaffers tape which is zone coated with rubber adhesive. Unlike traditional cable path or wire line tapes the adhesive in the center of the tape is not deadened rather adhesive is never applied to that area of the tape. This makes the tape more economically priced. The adhesive-free zone in the center of the tape allows for cabling and wires to be easily pulled through. Since it is constructed from gaffers tape no residue will be left behind on your cables after a show or event. Comes in 60 yard length rolls so double the length of standard cable path/wire line tape.
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

This question already has an answer here:
I'm putting together a business case for the developers in my company to get a second monitor. After my own experiences and research, this seems a no-brainer to me in terms of increasing productivity and morale/happiness. One question which has niggled me is if I should be pushing to get all developers onto a second monitor or let folk opt-in (i.e. they get one if they want one). Thoughts on this are welcome, but my specific question relates to a snippet on this site:
But when the IT manager at Thibeault's company asked other employees if they wanted dual monitors last year, few jumped at the offer.
Blinded by my own pre-judgement, this surprised me. Has anyone else experienced this?
I fully appreciate that some people prefer a single larger monitor, but my general experience of researching the web suggests that most programmers prefer a dual (or more) setup. I'm guessing this should be tempered with the thought that those developers who contribute to such discussions might not be considered your average developer who might not care one way or the other.
Anyway, if you have experienced the above have you tried to sell the concept of dual monitors to the masses? If everyone just got 2 monitors regardless if they wanted it or not, were there adverse reactions or negative effects?
UPDATE: The developers are on a mixture of 17", 22", or 24" single monitors. The desks should be able to accommodate dual 22" monitors as I am proposing, though this will take some getting used to I imagine.

Off-Season Blog: Cory West
NEWS November 28, 2011
Photo by Brian J. Nelson
Since the test at Daytona I've just been hanging out at home in Arkansas. It was nice to get to enjoy the fall colors and do some great mountain bike riding in the Ozarks. While I was home I got a call from the guys at the Texas Tornado Boot Camp asking if I'd like to come down and be a guest instructor. I jumped at the chance and packed up my dirt bike gear!
So I drove down to Texas and spent four days at Colin Edwards playground! It was so much fun getting to ride with some old friends who are full time instructors at the camp, Merle Scherb and Shea Fouchek. Having Colin there was also amazing because of his wealth of knowledge and down to earth nature. I learned a lot while I was there and I hope that I can apply those things to my racing this next season. The TTBC is an awesome experience and I can't wait to go back down and do it again!
Now it's back home to start logging the training miles and getting ready for Daytona in the spring. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming season since we have a new sponsor joining the team, RidersDiscount.com, and new team mates Jake Lewis and Benny Solis! It's going to be an awesome year and I can't wait until it starts. See you in March!!!

By: David Norfolk, Practice Leader - Development, Bloor Research
Published: 11th February 2013
Copyright Bloor Research © 2013
I recently blogged about the Qualitest Group and its third party testing services. I like the idea of using an external testing organisation because I believe that testers need a different mind-set to developers - a delight in breaking things and finding defects perhaps - and, in most organisations, such a mindset is career limiting. It's a question for an IT group to ask itself - do we like having people that regularly find our mistakes and publicise them to those around us? If not, perhaps it should be considering a third party testing organisation, that fully understands testing in all its aspects and employs people with the "testing mindset".
That choice raises further questions, however, which really concern the governance of the development process and its quality assurance. Does your external testing partner allow developers to unit-test their own code, for example? With old-style development practices, people probably shouldn't test their own code (the developers often have the wrong mindset and their test cases can embody the same misconception of the requirement as the code does); but developers unit-testing their own work is pretty fundamental to eXtreme Programming and Agile development. Agile, also, is generally becoming accepted as the way to go, both for productivity and quality. It's a question to ask your testing partners: "do you support agile development effectively without 'spoiling' the Agile culture we're trying to promote?".
Another thing I like about Qualitest is its results-based testing approach. However, this rather assumes that you have something to compare your results against and that the results you want are feasible. You can never claim 100% confidence that there are no bugs in a system, even a safety-critical system; and Qualitest would say that you can never say that "testing is finished".
Nevertheless, I would suggest that that's actually a matter of semantics, to a large extent. Should you discuss the semantics of a results-based testing SLA saying something like "Find at least 95% of the bugs" with your testing partner? There are ways of estimating the total bugs in a piece of code (here, for example) but does the SLA refer to these estimates or merely to finding 95% of the bugs actually reported by users? Does a design flaw count as a bug? What about the possibility of a systematic testing bias that puts the most business-critical bugs in the 5% that aren't found? And, what about latent bugs which haven't been found and perhaps can't ever be reached - with current workloads and data patterns? Are they worth wasting time on? Perhaps not; but latent bugs can represent a potential production disaster waiting to happen when workloads change or new data enters the system (perhaps you gain a significant Far East customer for the first time and its data looks different to what you've been processing before). So perhaps latent bugs are important (which is partly why static code analysis can be important).
I like results-based testing because it promises to give you a fair and equitable contract with your external testing partner. It can also, perhaps, give you a handle on the "is testing finished" issue - something else to question your testing partner about, I think.
"Is testing finished" is really another question of semantics. If you can place confidence limits on the number of bugs found relative to the number of bugs expected; if you can put numbers on the risk associated with "going live"; and if you can estimate, with confidence, the cost associated with the risk going live against the cost to the business of withholding the new automated service; then you have, in a real and practical (although limited) sense, "finished testing". Even if running some more tests (perhaps tests which you haven't thought of and which aren't in your test pack) might find some more defects.
Part of the value of employing an organisation like Qualitest is that it is a testing specialist and understands the testing process and its semantics, probably better than most developers do. However, although management can outsource responsibility for the execution of testing and quality assurance, it can't outsource responsibility for Quality. If, for example, one of the 5% of defects Qualitest hasn't found (while satisfying its testing by results SLA) results in confidential customer credit card details held by a company being splashed over the Internet, it'll be (potentially) the company's directors in the dock facing gaol, not Qualitest's directors.
So, the semantics of testing is probably important to the managers employing a firm like Qualitest. For example:
I just raise the questions and they don't invalidate my view that external testing by an organisation such as Qualitest may bring significant improvements to system quality. But the outsourcing of testing has consequences and raises governance issues which are often cultural and semantic as much as technical - but no less important for all that.

INDOT to Chip Seal
State Road 234
Beginning Monday, June 11
KENNARD, Ind.—The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will chip seal State Road 234 between State Roads 38 and 109 next week. Maintenance crews will begin the operation near the Henry-Hancock County line on Monday, June 4.
On Monday and Tuesday, INDOT crews plan to chip seal SR 234 in both directions. Progress is weather dependent and the schedule is subject to change.
Chip sealing is a cost-effective pavement preservation technique using liquid asphalt and crushed stone to prevent deterioration of the existing pavement surface. It provides waterproofing, crack sealing and improved friction for a fraction of the cost of new asphalt pavement.
The liquid asphalt takes some time to set up in order to hold the stone in place, which requires temporary lane closure. Drivers should be alert for work zone signs and follow flaggers' instructions. Drivers are cautioned to drive slowly through the moving work zone to avoid loss of traction on any loose stone and to prevent throwing any stone or liquid asphalt.
INDOT crews use as little stone as necessary to achieve a quality surface, prevent waste and minimize dust. The stone used is Indiana limestone, which by nature is dusty. If crews do not use enough stone, the liquid asphalt can bleed through to the surface.
The chip seal will be followed by a fog seal. A fog seal is a light layer of asphalt material applied to the top of the chip seal to help lock in loose stone. Fog sealing also makes the roadway black, which makes pavement markings more visible to drivers.

Video of James Cochran, Class of 2014, graduate student at Baylore University, on being a Religious Studies major "My religious studies degree prepared me well and complemented my choice of a career in counseling. Learning about different faiths and diversities helped me relate and understand others as a professional counselor. My degree also provided me with a strong foundation in writing. As a counselor, I have prepared detailed case notes, applied for grants, and consulted with many groups; having such rigorous preparation in research has made me a more effective communicator. I enjoyed the one on one attention I received as a religion major. It strengthened my goals and desires to pursue higher education opportunities." Kerry Delduchetto, MS, CAS, CCPT Class of 2007 "I decided to major in religious studies because I enjoy discussing religion and thinking about philosophical questions. I chose Le Moyne for these studies after examining course catalogues from about 20 colleges and universities. I realized that Le Moyne's Religious Studies Department offered the larges course selection--and covered the widest variety of religions and how they are related." Jay Atherton '04 Presidential Scholar "My religious studies major served as an excellent foundation for graduate school. I learned to think logically, communicate clearly and to conduct thorough research.

San Francisco, Calif. -- (NBC Bay Area) San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is being investigated by police in Miami in connection to an incident that allegedly involves a woman who passed out inside a luxury hotel room.
The report released by the Miami Police Department on Thursday does not charge Kaepernick with any specific crime.
A woman told authorities she partied with Kaepernick -- and two other NFL players -- and ended up in a South Florida hospital room without any recollection of how she got there, according to the police report.
The alleged encounter happened at the Viceroy Hotel in downtown Miami the evening of April 1.
Along with 26-year-old Kaepernick, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, 27, and 23-year-old 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton, who is entering his second NFL season, are both mentioned in the incident report. CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco reports Kaepernick and Lockette forged a tight friendship during Lockette's time on the 49ers' practice squad in 2012.
Police in Miami are continuing to investigate whether Kaepernick and the two other NFL players mentioned are responsible for any wrongdoing.
According to the police report, the woman said she went to visit Lockette at his unit at the luxury residences of the Viceroy on April 1 about 9 p.m. Patton and Kaepernick were also there.
The woman said she mixed drinks for the men and gave them shots, according to the report. She said the men told her that if she wanted to drink she had to "hit the bong, which contained marijuana," the report states.
Before midnight, she started to feel "light headed," she told police, and she went to lie down.
She said Kaepernick came behind her in the bedroom and started kissing her, the report states. He started to undress her, and she told police she got naked. They did not have sex at this time, the report states.
Kaepernick left, saying he'd be right back.
When the woman called out that she was in bed naked, Patton and Lockette opened the door and "peeked" inside, the report states. She remembers yelling, "What are you doing? Where is Colin? Get out!" the report states. They closed the door and left.
But the woman cannot remember anything after that.
She woke up in a hospital and can't remember arriving there.
The woman told police that she and Kaepernick had a sexual relationship in the past.
San Francisco 49ers' General Manager Trent Baalke released a statement to the media Thursday morning, which said:
"The 49ers organization is aware of the recent media report regarding Colin Kaepernick and is in the process of gathering the pertinent facts."
Niners cornerback Tramaine Brock said he thinks the investigation "must be a hoax."
Kaepernick has apparently been training in South Florida during the offseason. Less than week ago, the 49ers QB posted to Instagram a photo of himself hashtagged "#Miami."

Video: Extended interview with Gary Stefano
MAPLE GROVE, Minn. - The Maple Grove hockey coach, who is at the center of the team's scandal, is no longer the head of his team.
Gary Stefano told the players after Wednesday night's game, that he is out.
In an interview with KARE 11 Thursday afternoon, Stefano said he has known about the decision by the district since February 19th. That's when he said the district sent him a letter telling him his contract would not be renewed.
"It's tough when you do this for 30-some years and 17 at the school. We feel we have a great program here," said Stefano.
He said he was not given a reason for the decision, nor did he want to speculate. He decided not to tell his players until the season was over to avoid distraction, he said.
"I didn't want to have any more disruptions. The kids went through enough. They paid their penalties and things were going very good," he said.
The team lost Wednesday night in the playoffs ending their season.
"I wanted to make sure my team were the first to hear about this. So after the game, the playoff game last night I was able to have a nice conversation with our boys. And it was pretty emotional telling them I am no longer going to be their head coach," he said.
More than half the players on the team were suspended after an 'off the ice' incident at a private home in December.
Stefano called the incident the worst experience in his 32 years of coaching. Maple Grove High School Principal Sara Vernig referred to the situation as devastating and disappointing.
The school district has refused to give details on the incident, citing data privacy laws. And Stefano did not want to talk about it either.
"You have some bumps in the road. You deal with it and move on and I can feel proud of the things we've done here at Maple Grove," he said.
Stefano says he will continue as a junior high health and gym teacher in the district.
In a short statement, the Osseo Area School District confirmed Stefano would no longer be the head coach, but would not say much else.
"Maple Grove Senior High administrators are looking forward to hearing stakeholder perspectives as the school begins the process of hiring a new head hockey coach," said Babara Olson, district spokesperson.
Stefano said he is proud of what he and his teams throughout the years have accomplished.
Maple Grove won the last two conference titles and made it to the state tournament last year.
"We've had good kids, good parents, a good community," he said. "If I'm not going to be a head coach anymore I can hang my head high."

With young Americans' enthusiasm for President Obama and politics in general down from four years ago, the candidate that swept the youth vote in 2008 is making a concerted effort to get that same constituency to turn out for him this year.
No longer able to rely on promises of hope and change, Obama is starting early to offer young voters his vision of concrete solutions that he'll be able to tout further into the campaign. The White House this week announced 110,000 new summer jobs for "low-income and disconnected youth" as a part of its Summer Jobs+ initiative, with almost 100 new companies and nonprofits and a number of new cities and federal agencies signing on to the initiative.
The Summer Jobs+ initiative is a political two-fer for the president: It allows him to appeal to young voters, and to hammer home the idea that he's working to act – to move "forward," perhaps – in contrast to a "Do-Nothing" Congress. The White House release touting the Summer Jobs+ initiative made sure to mention that the idea to increase youth employment was Obama's own, and was included in the American Jobs Act, which Congress never passed. Most of the jobs are unpaid.
The attack against an obstructionist Congress is old hat for the Obama, but it seems his campaign is just getting started with its push for youth support.
In 2008, voters ages 18 to 29 made up 17.1 percent of the votes cast, according to an analysis from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, and they overwhelmingly supported Obama over Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., 66 percent to 31 percent. CIRCLE analyst Surbhi Godsay said that, despite declining enthusiasm for politics among young voters, there's no reason to assume turnout will drop this year.
"There's a whole new rise of young voters who weren't eligible to vote," Godsay said.
Up for grabs are the 4.3 million young Americans who will turn 18 before the elections, according to a CIRCLE analysis of U.S. sensus data, not including the number of 17-year-olds that will be eligible to vote in some states with lower voting ages.
With the most recent nationwide poll giving Obama just a 6-point lead over Mitt Romney with voters nationwide, neither candidate can afford to ignore an already substantial, and growing, demographic. The Obama campaign is tackling two subsets of that demographic right now – those planning to get, or who already have, a college education, and those who have no higher-education plans. It's a wise move on his part, because as a CIRCLE analysis shows, students without a college degree turned out slightly more in support of Obama (66 percent) than those with a college degree (65 percent.)
"Young people without college experience turned out at the highest rate [in 2008] since '86," Godsay explained, adding that those voters were primarily low-income – the exact group Obama's Summer Jobs+ initiative aims to help.
To appeal to the other subset, those planning to or attending college, Obama is engaging in an incessant offensive on student loan rates. He gave three speeches at three different universities recently calling on Congress to extend the freeze on student-loan rates, but what he didn't say was that many of the students he was talking to would barely be affected by a rise in rates. Only subsidized Stafford Loans, and only those taken out after July 1, 2012, will see a rise in rates – a concern for students taking out new loans for continuing education, not those who already have them.
That may be why he turned to the young crowd on Friday, speaking at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Va., about student loans to a group of juniors and seniors and their parents.
The push to keep rates low is bipartisan, and has been supported by Romney as well. But Obama may have a jump on the messaging, and he doesn't plan to let the issue die: The White House announced that next week, Vice President Joe Biden and a number of administration officials will hold events throughout the nation to echo Obama's offensive on student loans.
And that could ultimately make all the difference. Matthew Segal, cofounder of youth-mobilization organization Our Time, said that Obama's discussion of youth issues makes sense now due to the timing of issues particular to young voters.
"It's that time of year when there's generally more of a media narrative" surrounding the younger demographic, with school ending and young people getting summer jobs, he said.
But Segal cautioned that all of Obama's efforts right now won't be enough come fall. He'll have to continue the outreach right up through Election Day if he wants to turn out what's typically been his most supportive demographic.
"It must continue, and it must start now. There is nothing worse than when candidates do their desperate last-minute outreach to those constituency groups," he said.

1 pound

1 pound
lean ground beef

2 tablespoons

Hey yo, what's up fellow cookers?? Check it...I hate when people give extraordinary recipes ratings that they don't deserve. I sort my recipies by "most helpful." Every person that I know who knows anything about cooking KNOWS to cover up whatever it is that they are baking so it won't dry up. Now that I got that off my chest, I just want to say that this is definitely "HALL OF FAME" material. I didn't make any changes to the recipe with the exception of how I layered it. I read some of the other reviews and decided to put the sauce mixture directly on top of the ziti, then add the cheese, sour cream and so forth. I even stirred the bottom layer of ziti and sauce together before I added anything else just to make sure that the sauce ran all through the noodles. I may try Ricotta cheese next time just to see the difference in taste or may mix Ricotta with the sour cream. Grease the pan real well before you put anything in it....or just use a non-stick cooking spray. If you like your meals cheesier, meatier or saucier, than you can add a little more, but that's strictly on your preference. Oh yeah.......keep in mind that this meal does make a huge dish so you might want to have a smaller baking dish on the side for any extra that doesn't fit in the first one. Better safe than sorry.....and trust...YOU WON'T BE SORRY FOR MAKING THIS AT ALL!!!!
Try RICOTTA CHEESE instead of sour cream and skip the provolone for a real Italian version of Baked Ziti. Mix an egg into a pound of ricotta to make it nice and creamy, and toss with the ziti. Layer sauce first (so you don't need to butter the pan), then ziti/cheese, mozzarella, sprinkle with parm and a little dried oregano or basil, then repeat layers. For a really nice look, slice a brick of mozzarella for the top layer instead of using the shredded kind. This is SO MUCH BETTER than the sour cream version!

I'm rating this only a 3 star because the recipe doesn't tell you to bake it COVERED! I baked uncovered and it dried out. Not good, and certainly not "Hall of Fame" worthy. I'll try it again, but definitely covered when baking.
Just made this dish for dinner tonight and it was delicious. Instead of greasing the pan (I used a Pyrex dish) with butter, I sprayed a light coating of Pam; the pan was a breeze to clean afterward. Per some of the suggestions other reviewers made, I added minced garlic and had put the sauce directly on the ziti, before the provolone. Because I like the pasta to soak up the flavor of the sauce, I did the same for the top layer ziti, (adding the sauce to the ziti before the mozerella cheese). Since I wasn't sure if doing so would make the pasta too soft, I shaved a minute off of the suggested pasta boiling time. It came out perfect, this recipe is a keeper.
I love this recipe! It gets five stars because, made as directed, it's absolutely delicious; creamy, savory and just perfect. If I could give this recipe more stars, I would, because it's also extremely flexible. I've made this with Italian sausage or ground turkey instead of the beef. I've also made a vegetarian version by substituting sliced zucchini and mushrooms for the meat. Sometimes I add chopped garlic and fennel seed. (There's something about fennel seed that, to me, is integral to Italian cooking. It's like cilantro to Mexican food.) Obviously, the key to the greatness of this recipe is the substitution of a layer of sour cream and provolone for the usual ricotta. That's what makes the dish so moist and creamy. Who hasn't make a beautiful lasagna only to have it dry out in the oven? I like ricotta as much as the next Italian-American, but the stuff is pretty dry and really adds no flavor. It's essentially just a binder. Here, the combination of the provolone melting into the sour cream is truly inspired; the sour cream adds moisture and the provolone adds flavor. I'm planning to use the same combo instead of ricotta in my next lasagna. The importance of using a high-quality sauce for this recipe almost goes without saying, so I'll stop here. Thanks, Colleen!
Rewrite of review -
This was one of the first recipes I found on Allrecipes back in 2002. Just made it again last night for friends (including 2 kids..who including the adults..went for seconds) and family. This dish makes plenty of leftovers - pack them in tupperware and freeze for another night. Always a fantastic turnout with this dish!!
Did make a few altercations though...as always:
Didnt realize i picked up Penne pasta instead of Ziti at the store. I omitted the onions. Used hot italian turkey sausage (squeezed the meat out of the casings and cooked it like you'd cook ground beef). Seasoned the meat with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Mrs Dash. Added 2 TBS of minced garlic to browning meat. Added 1 (drained) can of mushroom pieces with stems. Added 2 jars of pasta sauce and let simmer for 15 mins. Halved the amount of (reduced fat/light) sour cream and replaced it with (reduced fat/light) ricotta. And used the rest of the ingredients off the recipe. Layered PAM sprayed Pyrex baking dishes like so...Ziti, sauce, Provolone, Sour Cream, Ricotta, ziti, rest of sauce and Sargento's Italian 6 Shredded Cheese Blend - Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago and Parmesan. Covered with foil and baked for 30 mins. :) Yummmmy
Unless you have a big family or are having company...i suggest if you are feeding up to 4 people to half the recipe.
Thanks Colleen for a great recipe!
This is great! I use 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound Italian sausage and add onion, green pepper and garlic while browning. I add 1 TBSP of Italian seasoning, sliced mushrooms and sliced black olives to the sauce. I mix the pasta and meat sauce together, place half the mixture in the pan, then the sour cream and 1/2 of the cheese, then the remaining ziti mixture and top with the remaining cheese. I like the pasta completely coated with sauce. I use shredded Italian blend cheese and PILE it on, at least double what the recipe calls for, and increase the Parmesan as well. Definitely use 2 jars of sauce, it sounds like a lot but other wise the Ziti will be dry. This is perfect for a family gathering, it makes a lot.
Delicious and great make-ahead recipe for entertaining. Read a ton of the reviews and recommend following changes suggested by others: use larger dish (31/2-4 qt.), saute several cloves of minced garlic w/meat and onion, add layer of sauce over ziti before provolone/sour cream layer, cover while baking so it doesn't dry out, if making ahead and refrigerating, be sure to double the cooking time. I used Bertolli Five Cheese spaghetti sauce with a little sugar and crushed red pepper -- excellent! If

Defense officials from the United States and China met in Beijing Sept. 10 and discussed how to continue the progress that has taken place in the military relationship between their countries, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said Sept. 10.
In a statement summarizing the 14th annual defense consultative talks, Little said James N. Miller, undersecretary of defense for policy, and Lt. Gen. Wang Guanzhong, deputy chief of the People's Liberation Army General Staff, led their respective country's delegations. The U.S. delegation included representatives from the Joint Staff, U.S. Pacific Command, the national security staff and the State Department, he added.
"Miller and Wang underscored the accomplishments that the U.S.-China military-to-military relationship has achieved thus far this year," the press secretary said. "They discussed how to sustain the positive momentum in building a constructive military relationship and advance a new model of military-to-military relations into the future."
In this regard, he added, the two agreed to further the exploration of the two proposals on military confidence building offered in June by Chinese President Xi Jinping during a two-day working meeting in California with President Barack Obama.
"The two leaders discussed how to enhance strategic trust and build upon opportunities to expand cooperation in areas of mutual interest, including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, peacekeeping and maritime safety," Little said. "They also discussed ways to enhance communications to improve understanding and avoid misperception."
Both agreed to continue discussions between maritime legal experts, the press secretary said, and to sustain dialogue in key strategic areas including nuclear, missile defense, space and cyber. The two sides also exchanged views on the East and South China Sea, Little said.
Miller emphasized the significant U.S. concerns regarding North Korea's nuclear and missile developments, Little said, and called on China to maintain and increase pressure on North Korea "to bring the regime back to credible and authentic negotiations aimed at denuclearization."
