Crosby seniors set a course to better season
Crescen Coggins is one of the more recognizable graduates and elite two-way performers the Crosby High football program has seen over the past decade or so.
So when Coggins, a Bulldogs' assistant coach and 2001 graduate, suggested recently that senior Chris Herrera is emerging as a leading candidate to overtake him as the best running back/linebacker for the school in recent memory, it warranted attention.
"I think Chris is ready to take the torch from me," said Coggins, a former All-NVL selection and Mambruno Award winner as the city's top player. "I want that to happen."
Herrera believes he can make an impact this season, primarily because he is in the best shape of his life, trimming down from 230 pounds to 210.
"I always was serious about my conditioning, but I am eating better and getting enough rest and doing all of the little things to make myself better."
Herrera has a realistic goal of rushing for 1,000 yards this season, but knows that his teammates, including senior quarterback Myles Goulbourne, a first-year starter, will have a big role in helping him make that happen.
"Myles is really good and is working on getting the offense more balanced," said Herrera.
Goulbourne's teammates are calling him 'Cam Newtown,' for his ability to run and throw effectively as well as his 6-foot-4, 197-pound frame.
"Throughout the summer, I've watched a lot of game films and worked on the mental aspect of the game," said Goulbourne.
Starting only one game at quarterback last season, on Thanksgiving, Goulbourne, a converted tight end, threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns and also ran for a
See CROSBY, Page 8B
score in a 62-44 loss to Kennedy.
Despite the loss, Goulbourne took the positives from that game and feels that he can build on them. Goulbourne is taking a lesson from his older brother, Jerome Cunningham, a former Crosby standout tight end who also played four years at Southern Connecticut State University.
"Jerome tells me that only God can judge me," said Goulbourne. "A lot of people are telling me that I can't be like Jerome. I want to try to prove them wrong. Over the winter, spring and summer, I spent a lot of time working on my footwork and my throwing accuracy by watching a lot of film. I'm prepared."
So is Herrera, who noted that last year's loss to the Eagles left a bad taste in his mouth.
"When you lose your last game at home, that makes it very tough," said Herrera. "I enjoy my dinner on Thanksgiving. You can never enjoy it after you lose."
That made the offseason preparation vital.
"We had a players-only team meeting after the season and the 12 to 13 juniors who were going to be seniors all decided to stay together in order to get better. We will be ready."
After a 1-9 record in 2012, the Bulldogs have plenty of motivation for 2013.
"We have great team unity this year," said senior two-way player Tyus Leonard. "Everyone has a great attitude."
To which senior two-way player Dontis Gatling added, "We have a strong will to win. We want to play as a team, and if we do, we can overcome the obstacles in our way."

Many people travel to Costa Rica, but few have the opportunity to see the country like we do.
Led by Dr. Ian Saginor, a volcanologist who has spent the past 9 years studying volcanoes throughout Central America and the Caribbean, this nine-day field course takes students from active volcanoes to unique rock formation found in only a few places on Earth. Students can witness eruptions, see volcanic bomb craters, and take a boat trip around the Santa Elena Peninsula. Also, experience Costa Rica's diverse ecology from dolphins to monkeys to birds and butterflies.

Opening up OpenSolaris just a little bit more
By jmcp-Oracle on Oct 07, 2007
For the last few weeks I've been working with Jason King (jbk on #opensolaris) to integrate his clean-room re-implementation of libdisasm for SPARC.
Today, having received RTI approval, passed all the tests and checks and run many many nightly builds I was able to putback the changes to the ON gate. The heads up message is here.
The putback comments are
PSARC/2007/507 Unencumbered libdisasm for Sparc
6596739 need non-encumbered libdisasm for sparc
6396410 Update dis for preferred assembly language syntax
4751282 fp conversion ops decode registers incorrectly
4767086 fmovrq registers decoded wrong
4767091 pixel compare source registers decoded wrong
4767154 Registers for fmul8x16, fmul8sux16, fmul8ulx16 decoded wrong
4658958 dis misrepresents invalid opcodes
6193412 Support for new Olympus B/C instructions needed in disassemblers
I expect that there will be a few followup putbacks as people find edge cases, but the great thing about this putback is that \*you\* can make those changes if you want. You don't have to depend on Sun doing it for you
Thankyou Jason - you've helped make OpenSolaris more open.

5 Insane Pop Culture Questions Answered by Super Fans
Thinking too hard about pop culture is kind of what we do here -- far be it from us to mock someone for filling their head with minutiae about movies, songs, and comics. Still, sometimes we have to take a step back and marvel at the obsessive super-fans who make us look like novices -- the kind of people who spend months figuring out the average lifespan of a Lord of the Rings dwarf, or which exact day was Ice Cube's "Good Day."
These super-nerds are out there right now, crunching the numbers on things like ...
#5. How Much Damage Did the Avengers Do to Manhattan?
Walt Disney Pictures
You can't have a modern superhero blockbuster without completely leveling one of the world's biggest cities -- that's the rule. But action movies are like sitcoms -- by the time the next episode arrives, everything is fine again. You don't hear about how much it costs to clean up all that shit, otherwise the next four Man of Steel movies would be about the decade-long effort to rebuild Metropolis.
Warner Bros. Pictures
Instead of the decade-long effort to rebuild a ravaged movie franchise.
Well, Kinetic Analysis Corp., a group specializing in figuring out how much disasters cost, got bored enough to do a detailed analysis of how much damage was done during the finale of The Avengers. Let's just say that it's going to take a while for the New York economy to recover. Using complex computer simulations and fancy math with, like, letters instead of numbers (so you know that it's hardcore), a team lead by Chuck Watson and Sara Jupin put the Avengers' damage at a mind-boggling $160 billion, making it the most costly disaster in human history. That includes 9/11, Katrina, and the 2011 tsunami that hit Japan (the last one costing "only" $122 billion in damages).
The KAC team estimated that the total physical damage from all of those smashed-up skyscrapers and the ruined infrastructure would equal $60 to $70 billion. The cleanup costs take that number up to $90 billion (watch the finale again, and think about how many truckloads of rubble and broken glass would need to be hauled out of the city over the next several months). Throw in the medical costs of the thousands of casualties, and you reach the grand total of $160 billion -- CGI is good at rendering a crumbling skyscraper, but not at conveying how many hundreds of survivors now have lifelong disabilities and seven-figure medical bills.
Walt Disney Pictures
Thanks for nothing, Odin-a-care.
They helpfully noted that, because of the gods involved, Thor and Loki, the city could blame the damage on "an act of God," so thank goodness the insurance companies will be off the hook for the damage. Still, we've got a feeling that the team of vigilantes who took it upon themselves to fight off the invasion had better get ready for a drawn-out legal battle, especially since one of them helped facilitate the attack. We hope you've got good liability insurance, Hawkeye.
#4. Who Had the Larger Vocabulary: Shakespeare or Wu-Tang Clan?
Jacopo Raule/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Fans of hip-hop describe it as a form of poetry, while old white people complain that it's the tragic byproduct of a dumbed-down culture ("Isn't there a guy named Lil Jon who just screams the same five words all the time?").
But regardless of which side you're on, you can't seriously compare the verbal range of, say, Wu-Tang Clan with a master like William Shakespeare. Right?
Well, Matt Daniels wanted to find out. He's a data scientist from New York who used the magic of numbers to prove that some rappers have vocabulary skills that make Shakespeare sound as eloquent as a drunken infant. First, Daniels gathered a 35,000-word sample from Shakespeare's works and various songs from famous rappers, and then counted how many unique words each of them used. The results of the analysis showed that Shakespeare used 5,170 unique words. Wu-Tang Clan, on the other hand, bested him with 5,895 unique words in their raps. Ha! Eat it, you long-dead motherfucker!
Kevin Winter/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
"Motherfucker": One of 725 Wu-Tang words that Shakespeare never used.
Granted, artists like Lil Wayne and 50 Cent lagged behind the Clan and Shakespeare both, at 3,500 to 3,700 words (we could have guessed that, right?). Tupac's 3,970 unique words trailed not only Shakespeare, but also Kanye West (3,982). However, all of these are surprisingly comparable to the Bard, considering that the rappers needed them all to rhyme.
By the way, the highest-scoring person in Daniels' analysis was alternative/underground rapper Aesop Rock, with a score of 7,392 unique words, or enough to give a thesaurus an erection, making him the best-spoken rapper of them all. To give you a better idea of how impressive Aesop Rock's vocabulary is, it's generally believed that Shakespeare was ... the best at words. Daniels believes he might have known up to 100,000 of them, and yet, based on the research, he would still lose a rap battle with Aesop.
National Portrait Gallery
The guy hardly ever spit for more than 14 bars.
And because we know you're dying to know: DMX scored the lowest, with 3,214 words. But hey, it's not like you'd ever see him in a Shakespeare adaptation or anything.
#3. What Is the Exact Timeline for Every Event in the Marvel Universe?
Marvel is the creator of one of the most inventive shared universes that doesn't involve different fictional characters having freaky butt sex. And now with half a dozen film franchises all crossing over one another, surely you must have wondered how it all fits together -- what was Bruce Banner doing while Tony Stark was farting around in Iron Man 2? How long did it take Tony to build the first Iron Man suit? Well, fear not, dear reader, because Andrew Norfolk is here to help you:
Rich Drees & Andrew Norfolk
Whoa, tomorrow's the fourth anniversary of Coulson hiring the Consultant. Clear our schedule!
Norfolk compiled the entire Marvel universe into one timeline, giving us specific dates and even approximate times for everything that's transpired in it. For example, did you know that Tony Stark attends a firefighter benefit on October 21, 2009, right between testing the Mark II Armor (October 20) and blowing up the Ten Ring gang in Afghanistan (October 22)? No, because you are sane and didn't sift through Iron Man and all of its supplementary materials with a fine-toothed comb, scanning for date clues. But really, it's as simple as obsessively studying every single frame of film and line of dialogue for dates, and then counting the days backward and forward to orient the other events.
For example, Norfolk knows that Killian initiated the testing of Project Extremis on June 25, 2009, because that date briefly appears in tiny print on the monitor in Iron Man 3 when Tony hacks the bad guys' computer. One glimpse of a partial date in The Incredible Hulk let him match it up with the "Days Without Incident" counter on screen, and boom -- we can now draw up an entire timeline of Bruce Banner's life.
Rich Drees & Andrew Norfolk
Remember that time Banner fled Pakistan? Andrew does.
The timeline contains a very user-friendly interactive slider that starts a few thousand years ago when "The Dark Elves of Svartalfheim attempt to conquer the nine realms" and goes all the way through the events of Iron Man 3 (December 2013). What, no Winter Soldier? Come on, don't be lazy, dude!

I am building one of the reports in SSRS where parameter values can be either NULL or it can contain NON-NULL value.
Now if the value selected by user is NULL (from dropdownlist) then the SQL Query would be
field-Name IS NULL
If the value selected by user is anything except NULL, the SQL Query would be
field-Name IN (@parameter-values)
I need to put this condition in WHERE Clause using Case-When so that whatever input is given by user, it is handled by the SQL Query and appropriate result is returned. It could be possible that user selects both NULL and Non-NULL values from dropdownlist.
Please guide as to how to put the "case" condition in where clause OR if any other solutions exists
WHERE @IR_Project_Type =
CASE WHEN ([IR Project Type] = NULL) THEN ([IR Project Type] IS NULL)
// The 'IS NULL' condition throws an error.

It is interesing to hear that there are companies that have data centers for one day staff salary calculations?! How about processing the salary once a month on an sql express database that runs on 1GHz processor with 1 GB RAM? I am sure it is possible to process the salary for one million staff members in less than 10 minutes with the above configuration?! it is good that you did not mention their name here.
The scientists example completely makes the cloud computing an excellent way to go.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

MARTINS FERRY The Martins Ferry High School Chemical and Physical Science Honorary Society, headed by biology teacher Clay Sheldon, took its education out of the classroom and across the country to participate in the forefront of hands-on research into the field of marine biology.
During March 1-7, 20 juniors and seniors visited Biscayne Bay Natural Park in the Florida Everglades and the Florida Keys.
Sheldon said the trips have been a yearly occurrence for the past 15 years, with every other year focusing on marine biology. Two years ago, students traveled to Biscayne Bay to help establish a secondary education program.

MARTINS FERRY students are shown dissecting lionfish during their Florida classroom experience.
This year, students were involved in the program's operation. The Ferry students worked with a professor from the University of Miami, studying the infestation of lionfish in the Florida Keys. Sheldon said lionfish were accidently released into the area and these Pacific Ocean animals have no natural predators, research into their impact on native sea life is an ongoing process.
The students participated in measuring and dissecting lionfish to determine their stomach content. Any fish larger than 20 centimeters was subject to DNA analysis to confirm that they were all descended from the same group t hat accidentally got loose at Fort Lauderdale.
"No one has researched lionfish before," Sheldon said. "This is ground floor data."
The trip also included planting 200 trees and shrubs on Elloiet Key as part of a habitat restoration program for a species of swallow tail butterfly on the brink of extinction. They also examined invertebrates and searched for nocturnal creatures such as alligators and pythons.
The high schoolers worked with students from Florida International University as well as the park system. Sheldon said the researchers complimented the students for their help. Activities typically began at 8 a.m. and lasted 10:30 p.m.
"It's not a vacation," Sheldon said. "These kids were down there to learn. They were working."
They also worked with dolphins, which are used in encounters with autistic children.
"I think it's an enriching program," Sheldon said.

I have been messing around with the SqlGeometry in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Types namespace in .NET, and have been rather impressed.
Can anyone provide me with an example of how I could clip a geometry by another geometry? I know there are other libraries (ex. NetTopologySuite) that do this type of stuff in .NET, but I am trying to do this without any additional dependencies.


text:
I apologize for asking something that might well be found in a mathematical dictionary, but the similarity of the French word to an English one is frustrating my attempts to Google the answer (and the library is shut at time of typing). I suspect the answer should be obvious to those who, unlike me, know some basic Lie group/Lie algebra terminology.
Some context: I am reading an old paper of Dixmier from 1969, which has the following construction/definition. Let $\mathfrak g$ be a Lie algebra (characteristic zero, finite-dimensional), let $\mathfrak n$ be its largest nilpotent ideal -- the nilradical -- and put ${\mathfrak h}=[{\mathfrak g},{\mathfrak g}]+{\mathfrak n}$. Dixmier calls ${\mathfrak h}$ "le nilradicalisé de ${\mathfrak g}$".
Literal translation would surely be "the nilradicalised", but that sounds more like a mopey university indie band than a mathematical object. So what is the usual name for this object in English?

Suppose we're playing the Dresden Files RPG, and one of the characters decides to go for broke. He wants to use fate points on 4 seperate aspects that are relevant, for a whopping +8 to the result. Is this allowed? Is there a limit to how many fate points you can spend in a round, and if so, what is it?

Dresden Files does not limit the fate points you can spend in a single roll. As long as you have justifiable aspects and enough fate points, you can go for it.
That being said, Diaspora, another good FATE implementation, does limit you to using one aspect from each scope, the scope being the source of the aspect, like your character, opponent, scene, system, environment etc. You may want to use that if you want a limit.

The 7 Most Hilarious Foreign Twists on Common Movie Clichés
Hollywood blockbusters have been filling our heads with the same stories for a century, rarely straying far from the familiar characters and plot devices that are proven to sell tickets. But while studios continue to crank out one multiplex-filling cash grab after another, the rest of the world has been putting its own spin on them, quietly dipping those tired old cliches in pure liquid insanity.
#7. The Ragtag Sports Team Movie (Where Everyone Dies Horribly)
The Familiar Cliche:
A loveably plucky team of ne'er-do-wells and underachievers overcomes the odds and beats the slick regional champion squad.
The Foreign Version:
In the 2003 Japanese film Battlefield Baseball (mind-blowing trailer here), Jubeh is a high school student who is supernaturally talented at the game, despite being portrayed by an actor who has clearly never seen a baseball before and seems entirely uncertain how it works.
"I just squeeze it until sports happen, right?"
The school's team desperately wants him to join so they can defeat their rivals at Gedo High, but Jubeh, bearing the heavy emotional scars of accidentally killing his father during a game of catch, refuses (this bit of personal history is told in flashback and narrated in song by Jubeh himself, stumbling through a minor key).
Jubeh eventually agrees to be the pitcher, but on the day of the big game, Gedo High murders every single member of the team, including Jubeh, who shows up late and steps on a land mine that is buried in the field for some reason.
This is what happens when you use BabelFish to translate the rules of baseball into Japanese.
This turns out to be no more than a minor setback, however, because, through a combination of divine intervention, advanced cybernetics and time-bending reincarnation, everyone is more or less fine and ready for a rematch (please note that by this point in the movie, not one game of baseball has taken place).
After beating his mother with a baseball bat, Jubeh suddenly remembers how to do his special move, the Super Tornado Pitch (yes, that sentence just happened and now belongs to history).
We feel sorry for those of you at work who want to shout "HADOUKEN!" right now, but can't.
Armed with this technique, which is essentially a flaming baseball thrown at speeds scratching the front door of the sound barrier, Jubeh and his team face Gedo High once more. After a lengthy battle (see "not one game of baseball" above), Jubeh defeats the Gedo High coach and then screams a monologue about the importance of friendship and teamwork directly into the camera. He does this without ever actually using the Super Tornado Pitch, or indeed throwing a single pitch of any kind.
#6. The Reimagined Modern Vampire (Starring a Vampire Motorcycle)
The Familiar Cliche:
Traditional vampire mythology is updated with a modern twist to keep it fresh and interesting, a phrase which here means "vampires drive Volvos and sparkle in the daylight." Other examples include the tech-savvy raver nightghouls in Blade and Underworld's people-infected-with-an-immortality-virus-get-bitten-by-a-totally-regular-bat origin story.
The Foreign Version:
Prepare to have your mind blown by the U.K.'s 1990 I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle, which fulfills every promise made by its title.
"The word 'I' in the title connects the audience to the story. It makes it real."
The movie opens with a warlock attempting to summon a vampire spirit from hell, but he's abruptly crossbowed mid-ritual by a disgruntled biker gang and the spirit is forced into one of their motorcycles (classic biker gang). Unassuming Noddy buys the motorcycle some time later and takes it home to work on it, but a stray drop of blood in the gas tank causes it to come alive and start eating people.
The sheer logistical impossibility of a motorcycle attacking people and drinking their blood suggests that the filmmakers came up with the concept and went immediately into production without so much as rereading the Subway receipt they'd scribbled it on. At first they skirt the issue by having the motorcycle kill people offscreen, but as the movie escalates and important characters start dying, they have to get more creative, giving it a harpoon gun, wheel-mounted blades and stainless steel bendy straws with which to wreak destruction.
You know, modern twists on those classic vampire tropes.
In the film's climax, Count Motorcycula goes on a rampage through a rec center, chasing people around at speeds approaching 3 mph before it is finally trapped by an insurmountable push/pull door and melted with a tanning bed (because it's a vampire).
These guys are literally running faster than we ever see the motorcycle go in the entire movie.
#5. The Loose-Cannon Cop (Whose Superpower Is Insanity)
The Familiar Cliche:
A hard-boiled cop playing by his own rules makes his way through the underworld, dispensing justice any way he sees fit. He's not above destroying property, stepping on the toes of public officials or disobeying direct orders from his superiors to get the information he needs.
The Foreign Version:
In the Hindi film Singham from 2011, the titular Singham is a cop who also plays by his own rules, and by that we mean he's a pulsing ball of radioactive crazy operating with all the subtlety of a sack of howler monkeys. After he receives a mysterious transfer notice to the nearby city of Goa, he decides that something doesn't seem quite right and begins to investigate.
Spurred on by the screaming lions in his mind, Singham discovers that all of his fellow police officers in Goa are in the employ of a gangster he once crossed paths with. Enraged, Singham decides that the only way to fight police corruption is with more police corruption, and heroically starts forging charges, coercing confessions at gunpoint and eventually just straight-up executing a suspect because he doesn't have enough evidence to arrest him. And if that all sounds like standard maverick cop stuff, let us introduce you to this scene. Singham, in the middle of a high-speed pursuit, swerves into the path of the fleeing criminal and simply steps out of his car mid-fishtail ...
... to fire a single bullet ...
... detonating the other car's front tire and sending it flipping through the air.
As the car tumbles over his head, Singham reaches up and snatches the guy out through the window into a pavement-splitting choke-slam (as an added bonus, watch that clip and try to count all the people without mustaches). Dirty Harry would've powdered his shinbone just trying to step out of the fishtailing car.
He's also totally going to write that guy a ticket for not wearing a seat belt.
#4. The Damsel-Rescuing Space Prince (With David Hasselhoff and Stop-Motion Robots)
The Familiar Cliche:
A beautiful woman is captured by an evil ruler, and it's up to a dashing prince to rescue her from his villainous clutches.
The Foreign Version:
In the Italian Stellar Clashes Beyond the Third Dimension (released in the U.S. as Starcrash in 1979), Stella Star is a beautiful smuggler sent by the Emperor to retrieve his lost son, Simon (David Hasselhoff), who is the prince of space.
No, seriously.
Within minutes of finding him, she is captured by stop-motion robots ...
Wait, are we sure this isn't another screengrab of Hasselhoff?
... under the direction of the evil Count Zarth Arn, who reveals that all of this (whatever "this" may be is never made entirely clear) was part of his plan to lure the Emperor to his evil planet, which is secretly bombs. The movie makes precisely this amount of sense for the entirety of its 90-minute runtime.
"My planet is bursting with delight to greet you. Get it? Ah, fuck you guys. That was gold."
Prince David Hasselhoff kills the robots with a light saber and rescues Stella, but it does little good because (we really cannot stress this enough) they are still on a planet made of bombs. Fortunately, when the Emperor shows up, he remembers that his Imperial Battleship has a "stop time" button and uses it to freeze Count Zarth's world grenade, allowing everyone to escape.
Except the robots. They never saw home again.
Now they have to stop Evil Count Zarth and his fist-shaped spaceship from conquering the universe, but when they catch up to him, they find that even their most advanced weapons are useless against his ship (their "most advanced weapons" are literally torpedoes filled with people wearing Lord of the Rings helmets).
This scene was later reused in a Scientology sex-ed film.
Stella Star, thinking fast, crashes a space-city into Zarth's flagship and saves the day, because there was literally no less-destructive way to stop him. Unfortunately, this leaves her floating adrift in space, and Prince Hasselhoff is forced to rescue her again, but at this point neither he nor anyone watching cares anymore.

I've been trying to find some alternative ways to display my photography around my home. I tried one of those LCD digital picture frames, however I hated having this brightly lit picture frame at the corner of my eye when watching TV or working at my computer. I like the idea of a digital frame that can cycle through my photos, however I would prefer it not illuminate. Has anyone heard of an electronic ink or electronic paper picture frame? If they exist, have you tried one, and how did it perform?
None exist currently. There is one or two chinese made e-readers that have "photo frame" capabilities, (the kindle has this as well, but it is a hidden feature), but these are all limited to displaying the images in grayscale.
Color e-ink photoframes are pure speculation at this point.
If you are the DIY person, you could conceivably find one that is easily hackible (ie runs linux) and hooked up to a proximity sensor, so that only enables the backlight when someone is close by for more than a few seconds.
As of March 2012 nothing like this exists in the color e-ink picture frame market. The Mirasol display made by Qualcomm is the only color e-ink display that I have heard of. I suppose one could try to tap into that reader to turn it into a picture frame style display, but from what I can tell they do not offer it prepackaged that way.
The original question did not say that color was a requirement, but from reading some of the posters comments it sounds like color is really the goal.
You could setup an Amazon Kindle(classic, touch, wifi, etc) as a photo viewer, and hack do exist to do this. Unfortunately for photography they aren't really great. The classic Kindle is only 4-level grayscale and the newer models are only 16. This isn't going to make any images look great, but it is acceptable for newspaper reading as the unit was designed.
VersaTile is getting ready to fundraising for an eInk Digital Picture frame on Kickstarter (you can follow the updates from @getversatile on Twitter ). I think that color eink technology (and black and white, for that matter) is finally to the point where you could conceivably make one of these frames work--200dpi
VersaTile's eInk frame can last for months without a charge, is as thin as a Kindle and can be updated wirelessly--either manually or by linking it to your Facebook wall or your blog. You can also give a VersaTile frame to someone and update their pictures remotely--so your parents won't have out-of-date pictures of the grandkids on their wall for 10 years ;)
[added 12 November 2012] Full disclosure, the VersaTile project team showed me their product specs 3 weeks ago and asked if I would come on to help manage the project. I've browsed these forums previously and thought I remembered this post (or a similar one) on the topic. This is not intended to sound like an advertisement, so much as a readout of the specs that the team gave to me. I'm happy to remove it if necessary.
CES 2012 brought some good news here.
Kyobo Mirasol is an Android-based device with a 5.7" Qualcomm's Mirasol e-paper screen. A review finds it very demanding on viewing angle though.
Ectacto jetBook Color Deluxe, an e-reader with 9" color e-ink display, won the innovation award of CES 2012. The software is proprietary, but according to manufacturer, it does support JPEG format and has a "picture screensaver" (since July 2012). A review finds it sluggish, but that might not be too important when used as a photo frame. The review features a video comparison against the Mirasol.
liquavista are probably closest to a commercial color e-ink display.
BUT it's probably not going to be 24bit color any time soon - it's difficult to think of a way of having an e-ink type display with enough gradations in brightness.
Your best bet, until someone starts selling a color e-ink display with a decent contrast ratio, is to adjust the digital frame's brightness until it matches ambient light. You may be able to get a frame with an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts.
LG is launching a flexible e-paper in 2010, which includes a 19" black and white version, as well as a 9.7" 4096 color version. Not really the best from a color standpoint, but hopefully that will improve as the technology hits the main stream.

What is the name of the polytope $\Sigma\cap (-\Sigma)$ for $\Sigma$ a $d-$simplex with barycenter at the origin?
In dimension $2$, one gets a hexagon, in dimension $3$ an octahedron (given by the $6$ midpoints of edges), in dimension $4$ a polytope with 30 vertices (given for example by all permutations of $(0,1,1,-1,-1)$).
(More generally, this polytop has ${2n\choose n}$ vertices in dimension $d=2n-1$ and $(2n+1){2n\choose n}$ vertices in dimension $d=2n$.)

I will appreciate if someone could introduce me to LXC and tell me how to get started with this technology? In which cases does it make sense to use, and in which should i stay away from it?
A container is a way to isolate a group of processes from the others on a running Linux system. By making use of existing functionality like the Linux kernel's new resource management and resource isolation features (Cgroups and name spaces), these processes can have their own private view of the operating system with its own process ID (PID) space, file system structure and network interfaces.
Containers share the same kernel with anything else that is running on it, but can be constrained to only use a defined amount of resources such as CPU, memory or I/O. By combining containers with other features like the Btrfs file system , it will be possible to quickly set up multiple lightweight isolated Linux instances on a single host. Therefore containers are better compared to Solaris zones or BSD jails.
Making LXC easier
One of the main focus for Ubuntu LTS was to make LXC dead easy to use, to achieve this. Creating a basic container and starting it on Ubuntu
Log In
This will default to using the same version and architecture as your machine, additional option are obviously available (–help will list them). Login/Password are ubuntu/ubuntu.
LXC Web Panel
Open Web Browser and Connect
Resource Limitation
LXC which is an abbreviated way of saying LinuX Containers is an operating system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems which are called containers on a single control host. Since LXC provides operating system-level virtualization, it is not via a full blown virtual machine, but rather it provides it's own virtual environment that has its own process and network space.
LXC relies on the Linux kernel cgroups (Control Groups) which is developed as part of LXC which is a feature to limit, account and isolate resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O, etc.) of process groups. It also relies on other kinds of namespace-isolation functionality, which were developed and integrated into the mainline Linux kernel.
In Ubuntu you can find tools like Juju that are used with LXC. You can even find several tutorials:
To use LXC and it's benefits I recommend reading the Ubuntu Guide for Juju
Official Site - https://linuxcontainers.org/
Mailing lists are hosted here
I think a better question is what do you want to do with LXC?
I would start with the community documentation and ask specific questions about specific things you do not understand.
LXC can be used to isolate services or other processes from the host although the isolation is not always perfect.
LXC is, IMO, in rapid development and it may help if you subscribe to the mailing list.
Distrowatch also did a nice overview last week

Back in the early 90's, I used to wake up really early in the morning to watch this anime tv show that was only on at that time for me.
It was essentially an anime version of Power Rangers. A group of young adults wearing magical armored suits fighting big monsters and mecha enemies in an urban environment. Each suit was a different color and granted each guy different powers and weapons. The red suited guy was their leader, and I believe they all had the ability to combine their powers into an ultimate white suit (worn by the red leader). I could be wrong on this last one.
I vaguely remember one episode where the red-suited leader was trapped in a painful ball of energy hurtling through space towards something particular, but I don't remember.
My memory is pretty vague because I was so young, but I do remember watching this show somewhere between the years 1993 and 1995 (I was born in 1988).
Please help me out if you recognize this show!

Noble Caledonia
Noble Caledonia ShipsIsland Sky
- Small-ship ocean and river cruising
- Focus on unusual itineraries in remote places
- Informal, friendly country house atmosphere
- Included tours featured on itineraries
- Noble Caledonia News: Cruise Ship Gets Stuck in Sand
OnboardNoble Caledonia'a 4,280-ton, 114-passenger sister ships, Island Sky and Caledonian Sky, offer a comfortable, informal environment, with attractive lounges and a single restaurant offering open-seating dining. (Passengers eat on the aft deck, too, in fine weather.) A lot of money has been spent on the cabins, which are extraordinarily spacious, more like hotel rooms than typical ship staterooms. They feature plenty of polished wood, luxurious fabrics, marble bathrooms and extra seating areas.
The emphasis is on gentle socialising in the bar and attending lectures in the lounge; there is no casino onboard, and evening entertainment is limited to a pianist after dinner. Sunbathing doesn't really feature, either; there isn't even a pool, although each ship does have a hot tub on its top deck. Each ship carries a fleet of Zodiac inflatables for ferrying passengers ashore in remote anchorages.
Noble Caledonia goes all out to create a convivial, house party atmosphere on each ship. Wine is included with dinner, and as most excursions are included in the prices, passengers spend a lot of time together, often forming firm friendships.
About Noble CaledoniaNoble Caledonia is a British-based tour operator, established in 1991, specialising in escorted tours, whether by ocean or river cruise ship, overland or by train, all aimed at the informed, enquiring traveller. The company covers an enormous range of itineraries on its own ships and also sells cruises on ships of other lines, from Voyage to Antiquity's Aegean Odyssey to Hapag Lloyd's Hanseatic and the sailing yacht Sea Cloud II. An extensive river cruise programme features everywhere from the Rhine and Danube to the Amazon and Siberia. The common factor among all the cruises is that they're adventurous, usually in sheltered waters, always on small ships, culturally oriented and aimed at a mature market.
Four ships out of the wide range in the programme are chartered for sole use by Noble Caledonia: the expedition ships MS Clipper Odyssey, which sails in the Pacific; MS Quest, which sails in Scandinavia; and river boats Johann Strauss and Rembrandt.
Two further vessels are leased: 114-passenger Island Sky, on which millions of pounds were spent when Noble Caledonia acquired it in 2010, and its twin sister, Caledonian Sky, formerly sailing as Hebridean Island Cruises' Hebridean Spirit. This second vessel will join the fleet in 2012 after a refit and will sail for Noble Caledonia for a minimum of five years.
Noble Caledonia FleetNoble Caledonia is primarily a tour operator, but it does have its own fleet of two small expedition ships.
The 4,280-ton, 114-passenger Island Sky and Caledonian Sky were built as sister Renaissance-class ships in the early 1990's for Renaissance Cruises, part of a series of eight small, yachtlike vessels. (Two of the others still around include Orion Expedition Cruises' Orion II and Travel Dynamics' Corinthian II.) Noble Caledonia acquired Island Sky, formerly Renaissance VIII, in 2010 after chartering it for a few years and immediately spent several million pounds turning it into a comfortable but elegant boutique ship.
In 2011, a second ship was acquired. Built as Renaissance VI and subsequently sailing as Hebridean Spirit before it was sold to a private investor, it joins the company as Caledonian Sky in spring 2012. Caledonian Sky will undergo a refit similar to that of its sister to bring it up to Noble Caledonia's exacting standards.
Fellow PassengersNoble Caledonia sells almost exclusively to British passengers of a mature age, who are seeking an adventurous, culturally enriching cruise, train journey or escorted tour. Some passengers are from Australia and New Zealand, too. Most are couples, but cruises often include a smattering of singles and groups of friends. On the company's 114-passenger Island Sky and Caledonian Sky and its other exclusively chartered ships, the house party atmosphere, with included tours and open-seating dining at mainly big tables, makes this an easy environment for singles.
A lot of passengers are extremely loyal to Noble Caledonia and will switch between a variety of holidays, including river cruises, ocean cruises and land tours. They consider the destination more important than the accommodation and would label themselves travelers, rather than cruisers. The guest speakers (who offer themes relevant to the area in which the ship is sailing), the included tours and the culturally enriching itineraries are important to them; they see cruises as voyages of discovery, rather than lazy holidays.
Noble Caledonia's cruises are not suitable for families with young children -- and similarly, anybody looking for nightlife, lavish entertainment and sophisticated spas should probably try another cruise line.
The company has a loyalty club, the Commodore Club, offering 5 percent discounts on future cruises, among other benefits.

10 years on15 May 2014
Ten years ago, I published what was to be the first post here. Whilst not the first blog I published online, this would eventually become my permanent personal outpost on the internet.
Platforms to build upon
Whilst the landscape of publishing tools (not to mention the role played by blogs) has somewhat changed these days, it is interesting to look back at how things were.
Before I settled down here, I'd run a few different blogs. For those, the tool was as much as a reason for writing as the words themselves. Blogging systems were still in their formative stages but that merely provided additional encouragement to building the tools.
I enjoyed both the low level details of building a CMS & site as well as the more conceptual aspects of the writing and publishing process itself. And whilst the activity of development, in and of itself, was intellectually stimulating, just as important was it was for - the realisation and forming of solutions for a given challenge & purpose.
Interestingly enough however, this blog itself started from similar but different roots. Wordpress had been released1 less than a year prior, and in it, I saw many things that resonated with me. I was still interested in building a tool for myself, but WP looked like a good fit for quick & easy blogging and so I began using it to manage a link blog here.
As often happens, initial plans adapt and reshape themselves and this started to be more of a primary place to publish. And in the course of doing so, other unplanned paths opened up.
Development across the web
At around that time, web design and development started to get really interesting. There is a certain periodicity to change and this was an era where pieces started aligning to form a fledgling environment for the web design and development community to pop up.
In his own personal post2, Matthew wrote about how people were writing about the web on their own blogs, and more importantly, interacted with each other on theirs. Discussions sprouted discussions, designs informed designs, and we were all part of a community who saw the web as a place we wanted to be part of. Outside of the web, we were a part of it, getting involved at work (indeed, we made it our work), at talks, in side projects and experiments. Our blogs were a part of that expression in a way.
This blog was one such playground and went through various designs along the way, big and small, visible and behind the scenes Friv classic kof friv games. . More than that, I was also actively involved and interacted outside of this blog itself. All of that help made it a really interesting time to have been around.
The ensuing quietness
My last entry on this blog appeared nearly 7 years ago. However, whilst this blog fell out of my life then, the web itself was still a big part of it.

and what burns are the minutes I live
Irving Layton
Developing for the web was my day job as well as my interest, and I was fortunate enough to have many good opportunities and projects to work on. I worked many big and exciting projects as well as develop the content publishing platforms behind them. I worked on the design and strategic development of companies, big and small and worked on and with some great teams and people.
And through that, I was was talking through ideas, problems and solutions. I was writing and developing concepts, techniques and designs. I was collaborating, exploring and working through challenges and projects. friv yepi kizi games kizi 3
I kept up with the developments of the web and the world of design and development. Indeed, in a way, this was easier and getting increasingly interesting as the world changed, barriers dropped and information flourished seo company . My main involvement in that, however, was through my work and closer interactions of my peers. As that became the outlet for such energy, along with discovering and exploring many other interests outside of the web, then so work on this blog and other online personal presences dimmed down. wimbledon streaming
Turning the light back on
Ten years is a long time and whilst that is just a number (decimal familiarity notwithstanding), it does provide an emotional nudge to revisit things again. And so, I'll start things off lightly. A simple design3 for the words to live in, with some words4 to bridge between then and now.
There isn't really any plan for where this goes next. There are a few ideas and topics which I'd like to explore but the main goal right now is to trickle some energy back to this place. Where and how that gets channeled, whether it's evolving the design beyond this simple shell or if it's in the writing itself, that will be something that we'll discover. As long as it's not 7 years to the next post, then it'll hopefully be a good journey regardless of the stops and path we take along the way.
This is a post of it's own but it's easy to take for granted the range of options that we have for content publishing these days. Matt released WordPress on the 27th of May 2003; whilst WP was far from the first major blogging tool, nor the only one at that time, it played a major role by being the right thing at the right time and channeling the right momentum required. ↩
Matthew Pennell's and Andy Clarke's "10 year of blogging" posts helped nudge me towards writing this post. I admire how they have both continued writing consistently on their blogs through these years, and their content reflect that. ↩
As enjoyable as designing is, I'll defer that to a later stage where it makes more sense. ↩
Even if that was quite a few more words than I'd planned for a quick look back. ↩

In many elementary group theory books there are pictures of symetries for objects ( Cube, Square etc. ) and some group that represents that symmetries.
My question is what property of a group is related to symmetries, and if there are more than one type of symmetry (e.g. translation, rotation, miroring respective to some axis etc. ) then could the existence of number of types of symmetry be inferred directly from the given group?

The apartment was next to the palazzo pitti and very close to the top attractions - like the uffizien and the old bridge "ponte veccio". It was very clean and calm; you will find a lot of excellent restaurants and cafes in a few minutes. If you don´t want to walk from the central bus station to the apartment you can take a public bus for 1,20 Euro. Thank you Caterina for the nice stay ! Björn & Chris
We had a wonderful stay in this apartment. It is very functional and furnished tastefully. Everything is thought well of it! We travelled with two babies but it did not raise problem. The sofa is transformed into a very comfortable bed!
Caterina is one great host and welcomed us very warmly.
The situation is ideal, at the heart of the historic center. Nevertheless the apartment is extremely quiet because it gives onto a court, it is very pleasant!
We strongly recommend this address!
We really enjoyed our stay, the apartment is very comfortable and well furnished. It is located in an ancient building, but it has been recently renewed. The position is very convenient, a few steps away from Palazzo Pitti, and at a 5-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio. Caterina was extremely kind, she provided plenty of useful information and was quick in replying to our (many!) mails and texts.
Just one additional piece of information that may be useful, the apartement is at the second floor, without elevator.
El apartamento es muy bonito y cómodo, no le falta ningún detalle, realmente nos hemos sentido como en casa. La zona es bastante tranquila para estar tan cerca del centro y Caterina es un encanto, te facilita toda la información que necesitas y la tienes disponible en todo momento. Sin lugar a dudas repetiremos.
Perfekte Lage! Großzügig, mit sehr schöner und hochwertiger Einrichtung, Holz- und Marmorböden, Marmorbad und noble Küche mit allem was man braucht, neue Waschmaschine. Wer mit offenem Fenster schlafen will, muss allerdings am frühen Morgen mit Geruch und Geräusch der Bäckerei im Innenhof leben.
Caterina ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und unkompliziert und wir würden wieder dort hingehen.
L'appartamento è confortevole, piacevole e pulito, arredato con buon gusto, ben accessoriato, situato in posizione strategica, vicinissimo a Palazzo Pitti e dunque a pochi passi da Ponte Vecchio.
Caterina e Francesca sono state molto cortesi, discrete e simpatiche, ci hanno fornito in maniera del tutto disinteressata molte indicazioni veramente utili.

I'd think protozoans can be oligocellular, but I haven't found any examples, and I'm curious to know what is the minimum number of cells an organism can have other than a single cell.
Various colonial and multicellular forms of cyanobacterial species are reviewed in:
Nostoc and Volvox are some of the simplest true multicellular organisms known (usually 3-4 cell types), but in both cases the differentiated colonies (filaments in Nostoc, spheres in Volvox) typically consist of hundreds of cells.
The paper below reports the emergence of a colonial form of a unicellular organism. Since there is no evidence that the individual cells within a colony have specialised functions this doesn't really count as 'oligocellular' but it is an interesting angle on the question nevertheless.

WACO (October 17, 2012)—Sentencing is set for Dec. 12 in U.S. District Court in Waco for James Ray Martin, Jr., who was found guilty Tuesday afternoon of conspiring to possess a firearm that was stolen in a burglary at a Heidenheimer gun shop.
Testimony during the trial indicated Martin purchased the stolen handgun from another man, but Martin said he didn't know the gun was stolen.
Prosecutors proved the stolen handgun later was used in a shooting in Temple.
A federal court document says in February 2011 two other men conspired to steal firearms from a licensed federal firearms dealer in Heidenheimer.
The particular firearm in question is a Glock Model 27, .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol.
The court document says during the theft of the Glock, 12 other firearms were stolen from A&C Firearms on U.S. Highway 190 in Heidenheimer, as well.
Deputies of the Bell County Sheriff's Office were sent to the business in response to a burglar alarm.
As the investigation progressed, it became apparent that several individuals were involved, not only in the burglary, but also in the buying and selling of the stolen firearms.
On February 8, 2011, Temple Police Department received a call of shots fired at the Raintree Apartments in Temple.
Officers sent there interviewed a number of individuals about the shooting and were told that the suspects had all left the area.
A short time later a man who was identified as a witness to the shooting was stopped at the Canyon Creek Town homes.
He was carrying a backpack that contained marijuana and one of the firearms stolen from the gun shop.

Hello and I know this might be off topics.
As a lot of people I followed infos about Japan the last days. I think it is hard to imagine to be there and stand this catastrophe in all consequences. I know there is a lot of problems elsewhere in the world.
I just like to try to take the eyes of our "small group" to mechanisms in such cases: no secure information about what really happened to try to keep people calm.
No real solutions on how to solve problems evacuating millions of people. Just "trust the winds are going the right way?" "It's raining in my neighbor village so I am not touched?"
Think of thousands of people having lost everything? And the result is et al: prices for Nikon products raise?
Let us try to beat this: check red cross, I will spend money to them.
I will send an email to the companies who raise prices because of this crisis.
And in first place: let us send emails to our governments to stop to play around with risks: "Sorry, but the last earthquake was only 7.9". And what about the waste?
Till now there is no place in the whole world to be sure to spare the rest of the of the plants in a safe place. For millions of years.
We learned a lot about the power of internet in the last few months. Think of Tunisia, Egypt, and the north africa and near east region.
I know we are a small group. But a house is build stone by stone. And I think right now, it might be an overall historic moment and chance when we react and declare and ask to the people who are responsible for the goals for the future what we expect.
I know this might be a dream. Right now I got a "No". But trying to react, I might get a "Yes". So the only chance to get a better situation is "an overall response of us".
I am not sure about the weather the day atomic sites blow up in Europe. Or in any place in the rest of the world.
Let us try to fight.
Sorry for being off topics. NO! I am not sorry about this. I think it is a great chance in this moment. Let us try to take it.
You know the old Beatle song: "All together now"?

FALL RIVER — A Taunton man who crashed his Honda Accord into a tree in 2012 — killing two 18-year-olds and seriously injuring three other passengers — pleaded guilty Thursday in Fall River Superior Court to two counts of vehicular homicide by negligent operation.
Nicholas Costa was sentenced to two concurrent sentences of two and a half years in a house of correction, the maximum punishment for the misdemeanor charge.
If prosecutors had gone to trial and successfully convicted him of felony vehicular homicide, which stipulates that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Costa could have been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison per count.
Initially, he also was charged with having an open container of alcohol and driving on a suspended license.
Costa will serve the entire sentence and will be on probation for three years after his release, according to Bristol County District Attorney's Office spokesman Greg Miliote.
Assistant District Attorney Robert Kidd handled the case from the outset. Costa was represented since his arraignment in April 2013 by Taunton attorney James Fagan.
Costa, who suffered serious leg injuries and underwent a lengthy period of physical rehabilitation, lost control of his car and hit a tree in front of 1861 Bay St. at 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 9, 2012.
Both Jason Neto, who was in the back seat, and Eden Ashley Sargent-Macedo, who police said was sitting in front passenger seat, were pronounced dead after being transported to Morton Hospital.
A total of four people were in the back seat.
The most seriously injured of the survivors, police said, was 18-year-old Ashley Rivera, who was sitting on Neto's lap, police said.
Also injured were Chelsea Crancha, 19, and Jose Rodriguez, 21. No one in the car was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, police said.
Police said they found an open bottle of vodka in the car.
Police sources at the time also said they suspected Costa might have been under the influence of synthetic marijuana, an illegal drug that can cause hallucinations.
Despite a grand jury inquiry, the commonwealth decided not to pursue felony charges, the sources said.
