I am Developing a program in several platforms and languages, But I don't want anybody to discover the origin computer where the program was developed, is there any way that someone can discover that ?
Source code consists in a bunch of text files. The contents of a text file are exactly what a text editor shows, so you can control that "visually". Beware of revision control systems such as CVS or Subversion: they can automatically replace some specific tags in source code (like "
Compiled code is quite something else. Some compilers may automatically added identifying strings like what revision control software does, as "comment" fields in the executable structure. This needs not even be a deliberate spying device: traceability is really a good idea in the general case; no need to imagine a government bribing compiler developers into adding such things in compilers just to be able to spy on programmers. Also, executable formats often include some "blanks" -- unused parts added for alignment reasons -- which the compiler might not have bothered with filling with zeros, instead of just writing what was in RAM at that place. This has occurred with an older version of lcc-win32, which was thus writing out random excerpts of the RAM contents which could contain confidential information (I think this has been fixed for lcc-win32, but it could happen with other toolsets).
Other file formats can also embed (and thus leak) some information. For instance, PNG images can include "comments" (which do not change the visual aspect of the picture in any way). GIMP, an image manipulation program, uses the comment field to state that it was involved in the image processing; any tool could also add some information which, in your view, would be less benign.
Many potential leaks can be detected visually, by looking at the files as if they were text. But this does not cover the possibility of one of your tools being voluntarily bugged so that it includes incriminating evidence in its output (such tracing information would be encrypted so as to "look random" except for whoever knows where to look).
Unfortunately for the state of the World at large, "a revolution in my country" is not a very precise indication. There currently are armed insurrections or similar unrest in quite a few countries just now, including, but not limited to, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, parts of Libya, Colombia, Sudan, and Southern Sahara; and things are not completely clear in Egypt, Iraq or Iran, just to include the few I can think of from memory.
There's a whole discipline devoted to extracting information out of computer files and systems: computer forensics.
Computer files are relatively easy to make anonymous. Relatively to network traffic, that is: files are just a bunch of bits, whereas network traffic carries a lot of information through timing. On an absolute scale, anonymity of nontrivial files is often not so easy to carry out.
The first thing to make sure is that there is no identifying information in your source files, except for comments. Comments are mostly safe, though they do influence line numbers that can appear in debugging information (e.g.
Your compiler can be identified with a good success rate by a sufficiently motivated examiner, as different compilers compile and optimize commonplace code in different ways. So make sure to use a very common compiler. The same applies to any libraries your program is linked against.
Then, make some basic tests. Compile the same program on several machines with the same compiler version, and make sure the results are bit-for-bit identical. The test will be more conclusive if the machines are as different as possible apart from the compiler and libraries (different OS version, different user name, different language settings, …).
Under unix systems (such as Linux, or Cygwin under Windows), run the
If at all possible, try to separate your program between an innocent-looking program that won't raise any flags and a small text file containing the sensitive data. Distribute the two through different channels. Even better, arrange to make your program a small text file; ideally, use a popular interpreted language and only distribute the program source. Don't distribute your own working source, though: distribute a sanitized source with no comments, sensitive variable names, etc.
When you distribute your program, you might decide to use an archive format such as zip or tar. Note that these archives store the date of the file, and some archive formats (e.g. tar) can store a user name.
While there is no such thing as complete anonymity, I think it is possible to achieve good enough anonymity for a one-man programming effort. Your biggest worry will be distribution. It is a lot harder to remain anonymous when you're moving bytes around, and even less so once you start interacting with people. Using Tor helps, but it's not a magic bullet, especially against interceptors with government resources.
(In particular, this question may be traceable to you! Particularly if you live in a country with a government filter on all Internet accesses, which can correlate your Internet activity with the public information about your interactions with Stack Exchange.)
I don't know of any way for someone to trace back what computer you wrote the program on or what program you compiled it on.
But, if you want to be safer, one possibility might be to buy access to computing resources on some other system (e.g., on Amazon EC2, or on a virtual private hosting service), and compile your program there. I would also "strip" the binary, to remove all debugging symbols, just in case. If you're able to obtain access in a way that can't be traced back to you, then even if there is some crazy way to identify the computer it was compiled on, that won't be directly linkable back to your identity. Perhaps folks here can suggest a way to get remote shell access (or to run a virtual machine) on some machine, without revealing your identity.

WITH the exception of Norway, Scotland has the longest seashore of any European country. Whereas the Norwegian cliffs fall into deep seas almost instantly, Scotland's are shallow and accessible. The endless indented coastline of the west and also of the Northern Isles creates what is clearly a vast opportunity - no, neither oil nor gas.
We are so familiar with the idea of the Scots countryside being divided into fields owned by different farmers we do not think about it. Yet it is the demarcation of property rights that allows a tiny number of farmers to feed us all.
It used to be that nobody owned anything. There were hunter gatherer bands who picked berries and hunted deer. We still run the seas, including the maritime foreshore, in that very same primitive way.
It is my argument that without ownership being defined, economic activity cannot emerge.
The "Tragedy of the Commons" was precisely an absence of tradable claims. Being owned by "everyone" really means nobody. Scotland's seas are only just becoming allocated and therefore valuable.
These reflections of political economy are based on gastronomy, namely my admiring the juicy mussels that I was recently served in a restaurant. I was curious to trace their story.
The answer is the Isle of Shuna, a little but inventive plc which is harvesting thousands of tonnes of mussels from their dangling ropes in sealochs.
This is low-fat, high-protein food that grows almost by magic without feeding or supplements. The warm Gulf Stream caresses the mussels and the plankton feeds them. So these succulent shellfish reach my table and my pleasure.
On an average of 0.5 kilograms each year, our consumption of mussels is far beneath the continental average of three kilograms per head. I offer the prediction that, before long, mussels and chips will be cheaper than fish and chips. That is not a light-hearted prediction. Cod and other fish are on their way to extinction as they still swim in the "no-man's land" of the seas.
So endangered are these creatures, the fishing fleets will have to be kept in dock... or people will have to agree property rights. Cod are travelling the same path to oblivion as Scotland's wild bison and cattle - extinct because they were husbanded by nobody.
My argument applies not just to mussels. It is to illustrate a point lost on our politicians.
Scotland's shores are not yet owned by anybody. So they remain grossly under-used - 96 per cent of the shoreline is owned by the Crown Estate. I think it fair to say nobody intended this. It is a historical anomaly.
What we need is an extensive auction of Scotland's maritime assets - freehold or leased. At its most basic it may be easy access to aggregates, stones for construction and roads.
My intuitive guess is that creating a market where none has ever existed will spark into life ideas not imagined. This could be a great adventure as well as good business.
The venture of the Isle of Shuna team is only 20 years old but they have created an industry where none existed. Admirable though they no doubt are, my theme is that we could astonish ourselves still further if we allocated tradable property rights in our maritime terrain as we do on land.
In one sense what I'm saying is obvious. Yet here we are into the 21st century adhering to a perception from the 13th century - that everything belongs to the Crown. Scotland's allocation of our inland shores is, precisely, medieval.
I'm not being original. A distinguished study, Markets Under The Sea, by the late Professor Donald Denman, is what ignited my imagination. He envisaged a host of uses for Scotland's vast mileage that is only half revealed at low tide. Other studies of Iceland and New Zealand show how their systems of essentially privatising the fish stock through an overall total allowable catch (TAC) and individual transferable share quotas (ITQs) have incentivised preservation of stocks by making over-fishing damaging to your overall wealth.
We have seen salmon tumble in price from delicacy to almost ordinary. The new expertise has hit problems but entrepreneurs are nimble and learn fast.
Salmon farming, as much as mussel farming, seems to me to illuminate an exciting future. As ever this does not need government initiatives or subsidies.The state need only get out of the way. Markets are our great discovery process. And when the incentives are right they are great preservers too.

There are no Del Taco restaurants where I live. Every time I hear the name Del Taco, I think Los Pollos. It's a character flaw, I know. But it does make me wonder: What else does Del Taco sell...

On Point
Today on NPR, I paid special attention to the show On Point. During the two-hour show today Hour 1 discussed the current conflict in Honduras. Hour 2 talked about the recent NY Times article by Laurie Goodstein titled "U.S. Nuns Facing Vatican Scrutiny." Both of these topics were of significant interest to me since I have friends and family in Honduras as well as friends and family who are U.S. nuns.The language about the Vatican "reining in" these alleged "loose cannon" nuns seems a little extreme to me but it is important for the Vatican to be paying attention the dwindling numbers of women signing up to join religious communities and to see what everyone is up to. Many different nuns have played significant roles in my life and I am grateful for all of the perspectives they have offered me and for the broad education they have provided.

Fr. James Martin SJ has posted a few things on the nuns visitation at America magazine's blog. One interesting link he gave was to a published email on the subject by Sr. Sandra M. Schneiders, professor emerita at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley - We've given birth to a new form of religious life.
And scan a few of the 400+ comments to the NYT piece. Overwhelming support for the sisters. Interesting to ponder who decides who's a "loose cannon," too. And while I'm at it, who picked the head of the visitation, and, more importantly, by what process and using what criteria? The Instrumentum laboris, presuming someone will be kind enough to publish it or leak it, will speak volumes, as did that text for the seminary visitation.
I think that this is a great thread -actually two threads, as most discussion here settles on the Pope's encyclical and the Obama meeting with him.In a way, these threads tie to that topic, because the credibility issue of Church leadership is affected. Certainly in a big way, given the many (and often) angry responses to the "visitation" of the nuns, many calling for a visitation of the cvureia instead -by religioous women!Interestingly, the Wall Street Journal has a lengthy piece noting the issue and ties ti the exhibit at a Cincinnati musum decicated to a history of the good work of religious women here.Clearly there are issues of justice(and charity and truth) in this whole process!The Honduras matter is something else. It appears that the US Stae Dept, has backed off calling for a restoration in Honduras and emphasized a mediation of the dispute.Today's NCR has a long piece that 7 American SOA members, including Fr. Bourgoius have arrived there and are looking into the actions of School of America graduates there in past possible misdeeds.The Bishop of Tegucigalpa has warned about a possible "bloodbath" if restoration attempts occur, but the article seems to tie him to the old School of the Americas.I think we could use some informed comentray on not only what's happening on the ground currently, but also , historically, has the hierarchy there been generally tied to the privleged or the majority of the people.Which gets us back to the issue of justice and the Pope's encyclical.
Lisa, unfortunately, I suspect that some good clues to the criteria that might be used in the Visitation, or at least a sense of where the whole thing is focused, can be found in the presentations by Cardinal Franc Rode and Sister Sara Butler at a conference last year at Stonehill College. Rocco posted the links after the conference. http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2008/09/rode-at-stonehill.htmlht...
First, thanks to John Page for the link to the neat article on aging nuns in today's Times.I mmediately thought of the late Sr. Dorothy Ann kelly who dies suddenly during this last year and her vast contributiuons across the education field. I thought of several other Ursulines who passed in this past year at advanced age, who gave all they could as long as they could. We continue our support of them.I think they represent the way most folks who have ben touched by religious women in our country see the sisters, and not the way the curial Cardinal or the religious woman professor at a Seminary with 18 men studying for the prioesthood in one of the largest diocese in the US see them.it's just another part of the divide across the Church.What's problematic is the isue of how power is used to bring folks into line!That approach again impinges strongly on the issue of credibility!
By the way, Fr. Martin, that chronicler of sanctity, has apiece at the America blog aptly titled, "Pope hopes Excommunicated Nun Becomes a Saint."Worth a read.
Sorry to post so much, but the new "Extra,Extra" thread contains quite germane comments by Robert White on the US and Honduras situation.But what of the Church there?
I have many friends who are sisters, so I say this with great care and love. The reality is that religious life for women will for all intents in purposes pretty much disappear in 20 years. With all due respect to Sister Sandra, I fear that the new bith has been still-born. Her and many others' idea of religious life today may sound great on paper but no one is joining (or the numbers that are are tiny). Also, I know several sisters who are quite happy with this vistation and their only criticism is that it is a happening 30 years too late.
More notes on outrage against the visitation, Francis X. Clines in the times and Brett in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.The authors (and I) think that the lives of selflerssness lived by the nuns talked about there are shining examples of faith -what they're supposed to be!Whether others will follow their way will depend on the call of the Spirit, the genrosity of response, and not a return to the past driven by a view seen by many as chauvanistic.The role of women in the Church will continue to evolve, just as it has in the world and going back is going nowhere.

WHEELING - As the West Virginia Legislature works this month and next in Charleston, Corky DeMarco contemplates whether to make a push for natural gas drillers to gain the right of forced pooling.
"I am not sure if we will make a push for it or not," said DeMarco, executive director of the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association. "I don't know whether there is much of an interest in doing anything here other than building jails."
Forced pooling - which is now illegal for horizontal Marcellus drilling in West Virginia - would allow natural gas drillers to use land that they have not leased to form a well pad. For example, if all of your neighbors have signed leases with a particular drilling company but you refuse, you may be forced to allow your land to be used by gas drillers for the development of your neighbors' gas by placing your land into the drilling unit.

THE?W.VA. Legislature is considering the concept of forced pooling, which would allow natural gas drillers to use land that they have not leased to complete a well pad, which typically is a 640-acre unit.
The pooling provision would require gas companies to pay pooled property owners royalties comparable to those paid to neighbors, but they would not receive any lease money.
"Pooling is necessary if you are going to realize maximum output. Sometimes, you get someone who has 5 acres right in the middle of something - they are keeping their neighbors from developing their gas," DeMarco said.
"We would like to see some sort of ability to integrate these properties so we can proceed," he added, noting he would soon decide whether to ask a senator or delegate to introduce a bill for forced pooling.
The Legislature considered a provision for forced pooling in 2011, but ultimately decided against it after many landowners voiced concerns about losing their ability to negotiate better lease deals from the gas companies.
Tim Greene, however, said the forced pooling provision legislators are considering would eliminate protections for small mineral owners, thus allowing gas companies to bully them.
"What you don't want is to have a landman come to your door and say, "Hey, sign this or we are going to take your gas anyway," said Tim Greene, owner of Land and Mineral Management of Appalachia. "This would give the gas company too much power."
That power already exists in Ohio.
There, property owners such as Ed Hashbarger have watched as what is called "mandatory pooling" is practiced. This allows energy companies to take gas from land without an owner's consent.
"We do not defend the United States of America so the government can strip me of my rights to my land," Hashbarger, of Bloomingdale in Jefferson County, told the Associated Press. "I'm furious over the whole thing."
Laws allowing mandatory pooling began springing up across the nation in the 1960s in response to what was seen as wasteful over-drilling.
Laws on mandatory pooling were intended to assure that profits from drilling were shared among both willing and unwilling property owners, said John Keller, a Columbus lawyer who represents Ohio drillers in their pooling requests.
The arrangement prevents neighbors from allowing drillers to suck resources from under another's land without compensation, while allowing interested landowners to exercise their mineral rights.
After Marcellus Shale exploration took off in 2008 and 2009, natural gas industry lobbyists in Pennsylvania put pooling at the top of their priorities list, but no legislation has been introduced.
Gov. Tom Corbett, who is viewed as an industry ally, has said he opposes it, calling it tantamount to "private eminent domain."
Hashbarger said he's among those who just want to be left alone.
"I'm not interested in signing a gas lease, and I don't like the idea that the state has a law that can include me in that kind of agreement," he said.

Home page upgrade, making logos easier, and more - build #71 deployed
By Ari Shamash on May 01, 2009
Our latest version - build #71 - was deployed into production yesterday. Here is what we added:
- What's New: This new panel on the home page takes a subscription feed from our blog at http://blogs.sun.com/thelibrary and displays the three most recent entries right on our home page.
- Featured: This new panel on the home page allows us to highlight specific publishers, software, or resources directly. Want to be listed here? Give us feedback.
- Searching for a specific tag: We have a lot of tags in our system - approximately 3000 of them. The vast majority do not make it into our tag clouds. We now allow you to search for a specific tag, or set of tags, using the same mechanisms as keyword search. This way, if you create a tag that is interesting to you, but doesn't make it into the other tag clouds, you can find it. The output is a little different, however - we display tag search results in a custom tag cloud.
Please note that this feature is different than using a Tag to search for entries in the library, which has been in the system since the very beginning.
- Logo Preview in add/edit panel to improve usability of logos: Previously, many entries in the library did not take advantage of our
logo mechanism, we always wondered why, since after all, an entry with
a logo looks better than an entry without a logo. We always wondered why our users do not take advantage of this feature. Other users tried to take advantage of this feature, but put in invalid URLs.
Many principles in User Interface design teach that if the user does something wrong, the sooner you inform the user, the more usable your application becomes. As such, we now display the logo preview directly in the panel that allows you to edit that particular field. The response is in real time - if you type in an invalid URL for your logo, this is what you'll immediately see:
Type in a valid URL, however, and you'll get some instant gratification! Ah, the sweet site of success ;-)
The circled annotations above were created manually using an image editing tool - the app does not try to figure out what is wrong with the URL, that's a pretty hard problem to solve, we'll save that one for the next iteration. ;-)
- Improved content management requests and authorization emails: The emails that we used to send whenever a user requested to be a content manager, or when that request was approved or denied, needed some improvement. We paid some attention to them, and now they are significantly more user friendly. Our application has direct URL's to many portions of the app, we take advantage of this by including a URL in the approval emails directly to the approval section of the application. This is typical in traditional web applications, which have a URL for each page. Our app is a RIA - which exists on a single HTML page, making this issue a bit more complex from an engineerign perspective.
- Prettier URL: While we're not that vane, our old system used to include "CatalogQueryServer" as part of the URL structure. CatalogQueryServer is the web context at which our application is deployed. This used to leak through sometimes in our URL's, making them less user-friendly. Specifically, our system used to redirect users from http://library.network.com to https://library.network.com/CatalogQueryServer (note the HTTP to HTTPS transition in the redirect), and the web context used to leak through the automated redirect. We have fixed that. So now we have a nice pretty compact URL structure.
As always, feedback (either positive, constructive, or what the weather is like where you) is always welcomed!

The Hodge star operator $\ast$ acts on the differential forms of a differential manifold sending $\Omega^{k}$ to $\Omega^{N-k}$. If the manifold is complex, then for $p+q=k$, does $\ast$ map $\Omega^{p,q}$ into some $\Omega^{a,b}$, where $a+b=N-k$.
As Abtan requested, I'm converting my comments to an answer:
Suppose that $X$ is an $N$ (complex) dimensional complex manifold endowed with a Hermitean metric, or equivalently a Riemannian metric g satisfying $g(JX,JY)=g(X,Y)$, where $J$ is the complex structure. Let $*$ denote the $\mathbb{C}$-antilinear extension of the Hodge star operator to complex valued forms (some people -- including me -- prefer to write this as $\overline{*}$ as Spiro points out in the comments). Then as one finds on page 82 of Griffiths and Harris, $$*\Omega^{pq}\subset \Omega^{N-q,N-p}$$ where I'm following the notation in the question and writing $\Omega^{pq}$ for the space of $C^\infty$ forms of type $(p,q)$.

Bashing Big Oil hurts little guy
Historically, Democrats have been very good at spreading the demagoguery around, but under President Obama's guidance, they've mastered the art. Their latest demonstration involves sticking it to Big Oil on behalf of the little guy.
Senate Democrats introduced a symbolic bill last week that would "plug tax loopholes" benefiting the five largest oil companies to raise $2.4 billion a year to "help reduce the deficit." Besides being spit in the $16.5 trillion ocean of government debt, the money almost assuredly would be plowed into the budget and squandered, but not before it was leveraged to finance further deficit spending.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — You don't need to remind Steve Smith about the importance of beating Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
"It's beyond important — it's essential," Smith said.
Since Smith arrived in Carolina in 2001, the Panthers (1-3) have started the season 1-4 three times. None of them turned out particularly well.
That's not surprising.
Teams that dig themselves into such a hole traditionally have a hard time pulling out. Since 1978, 156 teams have begun the season 1-4 with only seven — less than five percent — reaching the playoffs, according to STATS LLC.
Even more discouraging, no team has ever started 1-4 and gone on to reach the Super Bowl.
Smith said a win this week against the Seahawks is vital "for our fans, for some people's jobs and the overall atmosphere around here, because with every loss things get tighter and tighter."
"Right now we're straddling the fence between falling off and staying on," he said.
To stay on the Panthers will have to the Seahawks (2-2), a team that has survived mostly with great defense, a solid running game and a gift victory over Green Bay after replacement officials botched a last-second, game-winning touchdown pass from Wilson to Golden Tate.
This game features a contrast in styles and strengths.
The Seahawks run the ball well, don't throw it much and play solid defense. The Panthers throw the ball well, score quite a bit and don't play much defense, at least not in the secondary.
The Seahawks are last in the league in passing, averaging 130.8 yards per game through the air.
Wilson has not thrown for more than 160 yards in a game, but this is a special game for him.
He makes his return to the state where he first gained acclaim as a quarterback. He played college football at North Carolina State and dabbled in minor league baseball with the Asheville Tourists and Gastonia Grizzlies before returning to college football and finishing up at Wisconsin.
He long ago gave up trying to get tickets for everyone, but expects more than 50 family and friends will attend Sunday's game.
And with high-priced backup quarterback Matt Flynn waiting in the wings if he messes up, Wilson is hoping to show folks he can handle a starting job in the NFL.
"The more experience you get, the slower the game gets," said Wilson, only the sixth quarterback drafted in the third round or later to start right away as a rookie.
"That way you're just reacting all the time. I'm not thinking too much. It's more of getting in the flow of the game - you have to keep working at it. All the way from preseason to the place I'm at right now, I feel so much better, so much stronger. My poise and my confidence never waver."
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll knows his team has a big challenge ahead.
The Seahawks don't play particularly well on the road and they're facing an angry Carolina team still irritated after giving away a game last week to the Atlanta Falcons in the final minute.
So while his defense ranks second in the league overall, Carroll said getting a grip on an unfamiliar offense like Carolina's is difficult.
"Boy this is a loaded offense we're dealing with," Carroll said. "We had a lot of respect for Cam Newton coming out in the draft and we evaluated him heavily and saw the potential there.
"We of course didn't see him last year, but to see him now and see the offense that they're running and what they're doing with the three running backs that they have. With Greg Olsen and Steve Smith outside, this is a really, really difficult offense. What they've done is put together an offense that is very explosive."
The Panthers lead the league in "big plays" with 23 of 20 yards or more.
That's something the Seahawks have struggled to find on offense.
What they do have is a powerful rushing attack led by Marshawn Lynch, the NFL's leading rusher one month into the season. Lynch has run for at least 85 yards in 12 of his past 13 games.
Carolina's defense is allowing 4.9 yards per carry, 29th in the league.
Lynch is the type of back that tends to give the Panthers defense problems.
He ran for 83 yards and three touchdowns in his last meeting with the Panthers two years ago helping the Seahawks score 28 unanswered points and overcome a 14-3 deficit.
Rivera called Lynch "as good as a running back there is in the league," and what he calls a blend of what the Panthers have in speedy DeAngelo Williams and power back Jonathan Stewart.
"He's a slasher and hits the crease very well and then has great acceleration once he gets through the crease," Rivera said. "It's a good challenge for us. So we are going to have to tackle better, that's for doggone sure."
Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson, who had half of Carolina's seven sacks last week, knows this week's challenge is to stop Lynch first.
He doesn't want to think about what will happen if they don't.
"The difference between 1-4 and 2-3 is just tremendous," Johnson said. "When you're 1-4 it's just a different vibe. When you're 2-3 you feel like you're still in it."

In Awe of David Moyes
Year after year Everton defy the odds with a team thin on the ground. But now they seem to have a side that is strong and settled. Can this be the year that David Moyes and the Toffees finally win the silverware they truly desire. Starting from the back and based on last year's record Everton had the third best defence in the division. Their defensive unit – for the most part has remained consistent with Howard in goal, Baines left, Neville or Hibert right and Distan, Jagielka or Heitinga ... Continue Reading →

Hi Devendra,
thanks for your interesting answer, up to now I expected to get a fully operational openmpi installation package
by installing openmpi from the "science" repository ( http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.3" ).
To compile your script I need to have the openmpi sources which I do not have at present, I will try to get them.
How do I compile and build using multiple processors?
Is there a special flag which tells the compiler to care for multiple CPUs?

Hello Andre,
It may be possible that your openmpi does not support threaded MPI-calls (if these are happening). I had a similar problem, and it was traced to this cause. If you installed your openmpi from available repositories, chances are that you do not have thread-support.
Here's a small script that you can use to determine whether or not you have thread support:
#include <mpi.h>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
int myrank;
int desired_thread_support = MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE;
int provided_thread_support;
MPI_Init_thread(&argc, &argv, desired_thread_support, &provided_thread_support);
/* check if the thread support has been provided */
if (provided_thread_support!=desired_thread_support)
std::cout << "MPI thread support not available! Aborted. " << std::endl;
return 0;
Compile and build as usual, using multiple processors.
Maybe this helps. If you do discover that you do not have support available, you will need to rebuild MPI with --enable-mpi-threads=yes flag.

Subject: [OMPI users] mpirun hangs when used on more than 2 CPUs
Hi everyone,
may I have your help on a strange problem?
High performance computing is new to me and I have not much idea about OpenMPI and OpenFoam (OF) which uses the "mpirun" command.
I have to support the OF application in my company and have been trying to find the problem since about 1 week.
The versions are openmpi-1.3.2 and OF 2.0.1 which are running on openSUSE 11.3 x86_64.
The computer is brand new, has 96 GB RAM, 12 CPUs and was installed with Linux some weeks ago.
I installed OF 2.0.1 according to the vendors instructions at http://www.openfoam.org/archive/2.0.1/download/suse.php.
Here the problem:
The experienced user tested the OF with a test case out of one of the vendors tutorials.
He only used the computing power of his local machine "caelde04" , no other computers were accessed by mpirun.
He found no problem when testing in single "processor mode" but in "multiprocessor mode" his calculations hangs when he distributes
the calculations to more than 2 CPUs. The OF vendor thinks this is an OpenMPI problem somehow and that is why I am trying to get
help from this forum here.
I attached 2 files, one is the "decomposeParDict" which resides in the "system" subdirectory of his test case and the other is the log file
from the "decomposePar" command and the mpirun command "mpirun -np 9 interFoam –parallel".
Do you have an idea where the problem is or how I can narrow it down?
Thanks much for any help.

I have been waiting for the snow to fall so that I could pull these out and I finally got my wish. Thank you for a great boot.

I'm waiting for the snow so I can wear it , I love rockport shoes I have a lot in my closet.

I have a bunch of point layers which often have overlapping features. The disperse markers geoprocessing tool works within a layer but is there a way to do it across more than one layer, so none of the points are overlapping? Using ArcMap 9.3.
I don't see any direct way, but it'd be easy enough to perform a Merge (docs) on the input data, mapping a field to retain information about the origin layer. In some cases, you may be able to use this merged layer directly, and symbolize the different features within it. Perform disperse markers on the merged set, and use as-is or split on the unique features mapped from fields.
If you only care about making them non-overlapping, and not their specific location, you could displace each layers positions by some systematic amount below the actual mapped resolution of your data, so that they were naturally clustered when mapped. For example, if you had layers A and B, you could make the least two significant figures of A something independent from B:
Now if you perform disperse on one of these layers, the data will already be clustered into distinct areas of the map. You'd have to play with the offset values and figure out an appropriate offset. But this approach would give you a systematic way of preventing collisions between layers.
I'm not an Arc anything user but a reasonable workflow would be;
Hope this helps.

When attempting to encrypt/decrypt large files, I was informed by the compiler that the file size cannot exceed the key length. I can solve this problem by breaking the files into key-sized blocks and repeating the encryption, but would this jeopardize my RSA key? Why or why not?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan allegedly exchanged "flirtatious" e-mails with a woman who was supposedly being threatened by the CIA director's mistress, according to a Defense Department official.
Now, the commander, Marine Gen. John Allen, is being investigated by the Defense Department, the woman who traded flirty e-mails with Allen is asking for privacy, and the home of the former spy chief's lover has been searched by the FBI.
These are the latest developments in the complicated and widening scandal that began with CIA Director David Petraeus and two women with military connections, and has now ensnared Allen.
It also threatens to bog down a newly re-elected President Barack Obama. His administration is preparing for critical fiscal negotiations with Congress, but instead finds itself facing questions about sex scandals and dealing with powerful lawmakers increasingly concerned about potential security risks and why they weren't told of the Petraeus affair sooner.
"Well, I certainly wouldn't call it welcome," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in facing a blizzard of questions about Petraeus and Allen at Tuesday's press briefing.
The FBI informed defense officials about the allegations involving Allen on Sunday, the Defense Department said, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta referred the issue to the department's inspector general for investigation.
According to the Defense Department, Allen is under investigation for what one defense official referred to as "flirtatious" e-mail messages with Jill Kelley, the woman whose complaints about anonymous, harassing e-mails led to the discovery of Petraeus' affair with a woman later identified as his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Military sex scandal heats up
Petraeus, a retired four-star general and Allen's former military boss at the U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, resigned Friday from his post at the CIA after acknowledging the affair.
Although Obama continues to have faith in Allen's leadership, he nevertheless put the Marine Corps general's nomination to become NATO's supreme allied commander on hold pending the outcome of the investigation, Carney said.
Allen will retain his post as the commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, pending Senate confirmation of a successor, according to the Defense Department. That vote is due Thursday, Senate officials said.
The investigation into Allen is in its early stages, but authorities are looking into some 20,000 to 30,000 pages of documents, a defense official told CNN. It is not clear how many of those include potentially inappropriate communications.
Who is Paula Broadwell?
A U.S. official told CNN on Tuesday that many of the documents could be innocuous, involving routine business that Allen and Kelley were both involved in at the U.S. Central Command.
"In his duties at CENTCOM, Gen. Allen conducted a lot of legitimate business. She (Kelley) did a lot of work with CENTCOM, including Wounded Warriors and such," the official said. "It could be that 29,900 of the documents are legitimate business, and the few remaining raise a few eyebrows."
The potentially inappropriate messages were "flirtatious" in nature, a defense official who has been authorized to speak on the matter told CNN.
Sources familiar with Kelley have said the relationship between the two was not sexual. One said their communications were not of a sexual nature, while another allowed that the e-mails were flirtatious.
That Allen is remaining in command in Afghanistan suggests that there is no criminal issue, another U.S. official told CNN. But the official said the Defense Department's inspector general, an agency watchdog, could still find evidence of criminal conduct.
While the nature of the relationship between Allen and Kelley, if any, is unclear, evidence of an affair could subject the general to military prosecution. Adultery is a violation of military law.
"I think he ought to stay on unless there is some reason put forward that he has done something wrong, and then I think the military leaders will decide then what the actions will be," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said when asked whether he thought Allen should step down from his Afghanistan job.
Widespread media reports have described Kelley as a liaison at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, where the U.S. Central Command is headquartered. Both Petraeus and Allen were previously stationed at the base. A Central Command spokesman said she is a volunteer with no official position. Kelley has not responded publicly to the latest news.
On Monday, her brother, David Khawam, told CNN affiliate KYW-TV in Philadelphia that she went to authorities because she was scared after receiving the e-mails. He described his sister as a dedicated mother and said it would be "completely uncharacteristic" for her to have an affair.
Both Allen and Petraeus appear to know Kelley's sister, Natalie Khawam. The men wrote letters in support of Khawam in a custody battle, court records show.
One of the sources familiar with Kelley said she first mentioned the alleged harassment in a casual conversation with an FBI agent she knew socially. She did not seek him out specifically for action on the matter, but was happy for the help, the source said. The source added that Kelley did not know at first that the e-mails led to Petraeus.
Earlier, amid national talk about the Petraeus scandal, Kelley, 37, and her husband released a statement saying they have been friends with Petraeus and his family for more than five years and asked for privacy.
The sprawling story continued to sprout new details Tuesday, including a revelation from a senior official close to Allen claiming that it was Allen who received an anonymous e-mail about Kelley, and tipped her off that someone was threatening her.
Other U.S. officials have said Kelley received harassing e-mails that concerned her and went to the FBI.
"There is no affair," the senior official said. "She is a bored rich socialite involved with every single senior commander at CENTCOM, because she worked as an honorary ambassador."
In another bizarre twist, a jogger running in Rock Creek Park in Washington on Sunday found Broadwell's North Carolina license, according to Lt. Bill Kellogg, spokesman for the Maryland-National Capitol Park Police. Police attempted to contact Broadwell, who lives with her husband and children in Charlotte, but were unsuccessful. Because her name has been in the news recently, they also reached out to the FBI.
Meanwhile, the FBI continues to look into the Petraeus affair amid congressional calls for an inquiry into why leaders were not notified of that matter sooner.
The Petraeus scandal also has raised questions about potential impacts on national security, including concerns that his paramour may have had access to his classified schedule and a New York Times report that she had classified documents on her laptop computer.
FBI agents were at Broadwell's Charlotte, North Carolina, home late Monday, said local FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch. She declined to say what the agents were doing there.
A source told CNN national security contributor Fran Townsend that Broadwell was acting as Petraeus' archivist, and that the FBI went to the house to look for any documents she might have. It was not clear whether any of the material was classified, the source said.

When I send out emails using Gmail, is my IP address being recorded? Can the recipient of my Gmail message know my IP address and thus infer where I am located?
Send yourself an email (at a non-gmail email address) via gmail and read the "full header" or "message source", especially "X-Originating-IP".
Compare this with your own external IP address (google [my ip is]).
The header of an email which I sent from my own gmail address to my own gmail address ("Show Original") did not contain an originating IP address, or any IP address except a reserved address in the 10.x.x.x range (in other words no IP address that would be identifiable as mine).
Then, I sent an email from my gmail address to myself at another email provider. The header of this email had an X-Originating-IP address which resolves to Google, Inc. It contained several IP addresses, none of which were identifiable as mine.
In appropriate cases a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful process directed to Google, Inc. would, of course, unmask your IP address and reveal your general location (and more legal process would force your ISP to reveal the IP address subscriber's name and address).
Your IP address was recorded by Google when you sent the email, and by God knows what other spooks inhabit the interwebs between you and your ISP, and between your ISP and Google, but it was not sent to your mail recipient(s).
If you use Gmail in as webmail (by sending emails on gmail.com), your IP address and hostname will not be leaked.
But if you use Outlook or Thunderbird like mail client to send gmail by using SMTP, then your IP address and hostname will be travel with your email.
2014, June 26: I used the GMail web interface to open an email sent from a GMail account to a GMail account, clicked next to the "Reply" icon, and selected "Show original" and I was able to see the originating IP. In this case it was the IP address assigned from my ISP to my router at home (which I needed because it changed and I wasn't using any dynamic DNS tool)
Google/Gmail strips the originating IP address (among other things) from outgoing messages - so the receiver cannot see the IP to indicate where you are, or more correctly, where the email originated from.
***update - seems if the email is sent between gmail accounts the originators IP is in there...
Other online email services (Yahoo...) leave the originating IP in the header. You could use a VPN to obfuscate the IP.
For privacy this IP stripping is great, for doing illegal stuff, then don't use email.
Select the message you want to view, click on "More" (beside the reply button) and select "Show original". It will open a new window with the email header information. Under the "Received" section will be your IP address and all the corresponding mail transfer agent (MTA) information that the email traveled through.
So the recipient may roughly guess your geographical location via your IP address information provided you are not using either VPN or webmail. If the sender had used Google webmail, then the IP address will point to the Google's mail service rather than your IP address. A further check with Google or your VPN service provider is needed to determine the IP address from their log files. Finally, with the IP address, cross referencing from your ISP's DHCP records can determine exactly who sent the email.

Actually membership is $20 for life, but who's checking?
@sickmont: Thanks. I hadn't realized it had gone up.
@okham: No problem.
20% off their prices makes it just about what everyone else sells it for every day. Never seen such an overpriced place...
If you live in the San Antonio area, they just opened a new store and the first 200 in the door yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Fri, Sat, Sun) get a gift card with an amount ranging from $10 to $200. I was going to go this morning, but I set my alarm clock wrong.
One great thing about REI though is their lifetime return policy. I have never had any problems or questions asked about returning anything. They have great customer service and offer the 10% yearly dividend( if you are a member, at the end of the year you get 10% back of all of your regular priced purchases). Also, the membership is for your whole household. Same $20 for your spouse/kids/ anyone you want to include, just tell them to use your phone number when they check out...plus you get 10% back of what they buy too.
I am in the market for a new camping stove. Found the same one I want on amazon for $5 less, but with the guarantee of a return if anything is wrong/I don't like it and 10% back at the end of the year, you can't really beat it.
It's not the cheapest place for everything by far, but when you want the knowledge that if anything breaks/goes wrong with you purchase you are covered, it is a great place to shop.

Knitter's Spotlight: A La Mode by Lori Versaci
With the name a la mode, it's no surprise that Lori Versaci's handknit sweater was actually inspired by a look on the runway at New York Fashion Week. It was few years back that she saw a metallic pullover sweater paired with a stiff, straight skirt. It looked like a kind of fashionable armor. Soon, Lori was mixing pattern stitches and knitting her new design. Read more

I have a MAC now and something is up with the spacebar. It was kind of stiff on the right side, so I followed some instructions, took it off, and cleaned it. All the parts are there, nothing is broken.
I put the key back on and it seems tilted and stiffer than before. It's facing the right direction. Yes, all the hinges are okay and seem to have snapped into place. Yes, the tiny metal bar is tucked into the tiny metal thing it's supposed to be. Still my space bar is tilted.
The parts are there. I can't tell what I'm doing wrong.

Dismal August jobs report crushes hope for a surge in hiring
WASHINGTON — American employers cut back sharply on hiring last month, crushing hopes that the job market was improving and putting more pressure on the Federal Reserve to give the sluggish economy another jolt.
The Labor Department said Friday that employers added just 96,000 jobs in August, down from 141,000 in July and too few to keep up with population growth. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent, but only because many people gave up looking for work and therefore weren't counted in the government's calculation.

The search for Johnson County woman accused of shooting a man and then shooting at sheriff's deputies Saturday night was called off Sunday morning.
The normally quiet Mc Ewen Road turned into a crime scene just after 10 p.m. Saturday night.
That's when the Johnson County Sheriff's Department received a call concerning a domestic altercation that led to a shooting.
"A female came out with a weapon and began shooting upon my officer," said Reece.
According to Sheriff Reece, Buchanan pinned down Deputy Adam Gwen, and after a short standout she fled the area.
That's when the search began.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol and authorities from Washington County, Virginia joined the search for Buchanan on the ground and from the sky.
Around 1 a.m. sheriff's deputies received a tip saying that Buchanan had her 6-year-old daughter with her.
Sunday morning around 8:30, Bill Dunn arrived at his son's home on McEwen Road and found two bodies laying on a well head near the front of the yard.
He then stopped a passerby who called 911.
"Upon the arrival of my officers, we found to females deceased and it was the female involved in the domestic shooting last night and her daughter," said Reece.
Buchanan and her daughter Lexis both sustained gunshot wounds to the head.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Department has not determined a motive for the shooting. It is believed to be a murder-suicide.
UPDATE 7:50 p.m.: The Johnson County Sheriff's Department confirms Lexis, the girl who died in a shooting incident Saturday night/Sunday morning, was six years old, not seven years old like investigators first believed.
UPDATE 1:00 p.m.: WCYB's Jonathan Radford has been in Johnson County gathering all the facts in this case throughout the morning.
Sheriff Mike Reece confirms they recovered the body of shooting suspect Heather Buchannan.
Sheriff Reece tells us Buchannan shot Mark Johnson, whom she lived with, late Saturday night.
After a standoff with Johnson County deputies, Buchannan escaped police with her daughter Lexi Buchannan into nearby woods.
The bodies of both Heather and Lexi Buchannan were discovered Sunday around 9 a.m.
News 5 WCYB will have more on this story coming up on News 5 WCYB at 6:00.
UPDATE 11:50 a.m.: Sheriff Mike Reece has confirmed to News 5 WCYB that the manhunt for a woman suspect who shot a man she lived with, and who fired shots towards a Johnson County Deputy on scene has ended.
The bodies of both the suspect's 7-year-old daughter and the suspect were found Sunday morning around 9 o'clock on McEwen Road in Johnson County.

Most of us associate the terms 'federal' or 'federated' with America and the federal constitutional republic that is the United States. A federation then is a union of several component parts that have been brought together and coalesced with the intention of performing a common action, cause or way of being.
Taking this very basic definition forward into hosted computing … a federated cloud describes the deployment and management of several higher-level cloud states often also combined with lower-level ancillary cloud services.
Cloud spin in waiting
As cloud federation clearly demands interoperability to function properly and the subject of open cloud standards has grabbed just an occasional passing mention during 2012, this could be the next epithet or tag upon which many cloud vendors now seek to spin and ply their wares.
Essentially cloud federation exists to bring together various types or flavours of cloud i.e. obviously public, private and hybrid. But federation also seeks to fill the cloud smorgasbord with a selection of condiments in the form of internal compute resources to suit particular workloads.
Some workloads could be internal, some could be external, others could be mission critical, others could be real-time transaction-intensive and others could be plain old normal. What matters in the federated world is that no single entity is cut off like some distant outpost such as Alaska or Hawaii.
What is a lower level cloud service?
TIBCO chief technology officer Matt Quinn explains that the central idea here is the joining together of multiple IaaS and PaaS environments in the cloud. The reasons for doing this are usually either functional, location or cost based and an application or a set of services may get a lot of flexibility here if it doesn't need to rely upon a single vendor for support, so there is less vendor lock in.
The central idea here is the joining together of multiple IaaS and PaaS environments in the cloud
"Federated cloud could also be known as an orchestrated cloud. This is where we are not just joining up compute, storage and network services… but are also hooking up other low level cloud services (data, content delivery networks (CDNs), messaging, integration, Hadoop etc.) to meet our needs," said Quinn.
"This means that not only would we be managing the individual clouds, but we would also be orchestrating services across them. However this flexibility comes with a complexity trade-off, so our application had better be somewhat cloud-aware to make that happen, as we also have to manage multiple different SLAs and potentially different APIs too."

Week 4: What we learned
We saw a much needed bounceback victory from Cheshire with a decisive second-half against Notre Dame of West Haven. We saw three-game slides end at Watertown and Pomperaug. We saw another lopsided decision by Naugatuck, aided by another explosive offensive show by Mick Pernell, who already has 15 touchdowns this season.
And for those who criticized me for picking Holy Cross over Ansonia, we'll agree to disagree.
This wasn't intended to be a knock on Ansonia, but rather an endorsement for the Crusaders, who I picked as the preseason favorite to win the league.
That's why we play the game. Predictions are dumb and so are polls, but that's for another day.
Clearly Holy Cross is a lot better than their 2-2 record because of so much talent. So far, they've underachieved, but there is still six weeks left.
As for the Chargers, I have not seen them yet through four weeks, but I do know that they have plenty of youthful talent. But many did not see significant time last year other than Arkeel Newsome and Andrew Matos.
Good for them and their coaching staff, especially line coach Butch Marazzi, who graduated his entire offensive line last year and another player was lost due to an injury.
Speaking of the Chargers, they have won 18 in a row dating back to the 2010 Class S state final loss to St. Joseph. The state's current longest winning streak is 30 by two-time defending Class LL state champion Xavier (4-0). The state's all-time winning streak is 49 set by Cheshire.
Here's five other things we learned from Week 4:
1. Junior tailback Joe Lynch of Wolcott is fast. On an awful grass, actually mud, field at Seymour, Lynch turned two sweeps into long gains, including a 51-yard touchdown, when it would appear that he would be stopped because of poor footing. A year ago, he was one of the league's best linebackers for Holy Cross. Now, he's one of the top running backs after transferring to his hometown of Wolcott.
2. Watertown basketball player Anthony Chacho, a starting guard for the Indians' 2012 NVL championship team and Class M state runner-up, opted to play for the football team after being a spectator for the season opener against Montville. Chacho slowly but surely has made an impact as a receiver and defensive back. His pick-six against Crosby was his finest hour so far on the gridiron. What Chacho has proved is that you only have one high school experience, so instead of sitting on the sidelines, take a shot. Good for him. Hopefully others will follow.
3. In the spring practices, Naugatuck's Pernell was being groomed as a jack-of-all-trade offensive weapon. He could run out of the backfield, catch passes and return punts and kickoffs and lead the way defensively. through four games, Pernell has gotten better and better, leading the NVL in rushing with 586 yards and 10 TDs, but he' also caught four TD passes and returned a kickoff for a score no the opening play against Derby three weeks ago. Pernell is more motivated now than before the season. That's a scary thought for opposing teams.
4. A pair of Pomperaug running backs, Jack Yule and Dylan McAllister, each rushed for over 100 yards in their decisive 35-7 win at New Milford. The Panthers' hammer running attack was in midseason form and the Panthers gained a well-deserved and necessary win to snap an uncharacteristic three-game slide. Even at 1-3, don't be surprised if the Panthers make a strong surge and finish 7-3. When the Panthers have been at their best over the past decade, the running game has taken center stage.
5. A pair of sophomores, Jack Cunningham and Andrew Yamin, are making major impacts for the 3-1 Cheshire Rams. While they are getting limited offensive touches, they've been effective when called upon. Their biggest contributions are with their defensive play and they proved that against the Green Knights last week in a 48-13 win.

" Agree to disagree? Your wrong and we're right! I love how people are dishing out moral victories after a 28 point loss. They play ten times, they lose ten times. LET IT GO!
You are right in thinking that Ansonia isn't as good as some might think. "
