Sorry but a up who runs Ohio State isn't going to stick around at UWM very long. Hope they get someone in who keeps the basketball program rolling...
Can't the University hire an Alum who has transferable skills and the mindset to do this job? Can't they hire from within?
It's the AD for goodness sakes. Manage the budget, occasionally hire a coach, do the administrative duties and raise money.
Enough with the revolving door!Hide replies
Oh, and Strategic Planning.
I'm guessing an executive from a local Fortune 500 could step in and do this job just fine. Everybody in town is an armchair coach and AD anyway.
What an absolute embarrassment. Really feel sorry for UWM student athletes, who continue to get crapped on by their administersHide replies
What is embarrassing? Geiger was hired as a stop gap and is staying on after they find a permanent replacement. I believe they were very fortunate that they were able to get someone of Geiger's stature for this transition.
UWM needs an Athletic Director who has passions for sports and the student body. That university is lacking SERIOUS school spirit and pride. It was the biggest reason why I decided to transfer from there.
I never thought something so symbolic would be a reason why I wouldn't want to go to a school but students who go there aren't even thinking about sports which is disheartening. Even if you hate sports, there is something about wearing your school colors around. It's a symbol to let people know who you are.
I wish them the best and hope they can find some stability . They really need it.Hide replies
Where did you transfer? I know exactly what you mean about school spirit. I'm a Buckeye from Ohio State and my kids are Jayhawks from Kansas. As they always said at OSU, Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye. That is so true! UWM is getting much better than it was years ago, though. It helped when they had a respectable basketball team.
Thanks for the attribution, Don!
We had this for our premium subscribers on November 13th, but it only went public today. I moved all the stuff I wrote on the Premium board over to the public thread for the AD opening. Here is the link: http://www.brewcityball.com/forums/showthread.php?2444-AD-opening-publicHide replies
Read PantherU !!!!!!!!!!!!
As for Geiger, my sources told me that he's likely to remain through his contract and act as full-time fundraiser and adviser to the new AD.Hide replies
Just sounds like due diligence by the University to have someone in place before Geiger leaves; maybe even spend some time with him...if the new AD wants him there. Good move.
Geiger will stay to the end of his contract.
With the idiotic decision to play the men's basketball games at the Klotsche Center, you have to think the alumni wanted a change as soon as possible.Hide replies
i think this move actually made some sense, but only in a money saving way that would lead to a plan for a new arena. That being said, I've heard of no plan and if one is not announced with the hire of a long term AD, you can almost say goodbye to the team's success as facilities will be falling too far behind. Only a year or two away from completely cutting Jeter's legs out from under him here...
Student crowds have been way better since moving back to campus.
Alumni didn't care about playing downtown. Rather have them play at the Klotsche Center than a 50 year old, 2/3 empty off campus facility.
Pretty much everything I've heard about this year's games at the K-center has been positive. What are your complaints Izzatso?
Klotsche is barely better than a high school gym. Division 1 facility? HA!!
Izzatso, you must like hearing a bouncing ball in a cavernous arena drowning out the stereophonic sounds of a popcorn vendor.
This aint the MU or the Bucks of the 70's and 80's.
THE PLACE WAS EMPTY 90% of the time.
Would rather sell out 3,000 than have the same 3,000 in an arena of 11,000.
These High Schools all have capacity at or near capacity of Klotsche (some of these programs are pretty good). UWM is on par with most pf these.

some of these schools may be good but you need to put it in perspective. Most of the successful teams on here play in a conference where every other school is on about the same playing field money/facility wise, so they aren't being recruited over by schools with better facilities. If Milwaukee wants to own the Horizon League again they have to step their facilities up as I see only one other Horizon League school on here (Loyola, unless I miscounted), who's lack of recent success helps prove my point...and if you're not gonna make a new arena, I think a kid would rather play in an 11,000 arena than a gym
Playing at the Cell didn't result in Blue Chip recruits coming to UWM.
if thenPanthers want to p,ay in an arena with more capacity, fine. But playing at the Cell didn't wield any major results.
Im just merely saying they could stay afloat playing in the cell because it didn't put them behind other HL teams. I think a long term stay in the klotsche could be disastrous without a miracle worker at the helm
After George Koonce was let go because he wanted the coaches and staffs to be accountable the administration has not allowed a new person to rock the already rocky boat called UWM athletic department. UWM will never build a new arena on campus - NO PLACE TO GO and the Cell was a great venue for a big time basketball program for the Greater Milwaukee community and recruiting. When Bruce Pearl and Bud Haidet were in charge our local University was on the map as a place for successful sports programs - not since.
I am struggling to figure out what this is even a story. UWM is a third rate division I team. They were competitive with Ryan and Pearl but realistically if you're any good as a coach you're not going to stay at UWM. I love the old Arena. There is so much history in that place, but as someone said, you can't play to a 2/3 empty arena, but you can't play in a glorified high school gym either. That can't be good for recruiting. At least Marquette has a legitimate big time basketball team, but both Marquette and UWM will struggle athletically because neither has a football team. I've said this before but if you want to be big time you gotta play football.Hide replies
You express confusion over why this is a news story. And yet your comments on how UWM needs a decent bball arena implies you didn't read the part where Geiger will stay on to help raise funds for just that. Maybe open your mind and read something once in a while that doesn't have the words "Marquette" or "McGuire" in it.
The arena contract was 250k /yr. that was a no brainier. Plus shuttling kids to the games. That said, do we really need to make Chapmann Hall even more bloated? The university is so top heavy already.

6 "Non-Lethal" Weapons That'll Make You Wish You Were Dead
So with the whole meltdown of the financial system, you're probably thinking about rioting soon. But while you gather up your bottles and stones and get ready to face down The Man, there's something you should know.
The riot police and military are both plunging into the future of crowd control, inventing space-age weapons that won't kill you, but will make you wish they had. Such as...
#6. The PHASR (aka Crowd-Blinding Rifle)
This futuristic weapon is being developed by the US military, who call it the Personal Halting and Stimulation Response rifle. Why such a clumsy name? Because they wanted to call it a PHASR. Get it! Like in Star Trek! How cute! There's no way this thing could turn out to be horrifying!
They also call these weapons "dazzlers," proving for the second time in two paragraphs that many weapons designers have never known the touch of a woman. It projects a laser and is intended to "dazzle" and temporarily blind the target. It's kind of like one of those annoying laser pointers crossed with the BFG from Doom.
Why It Won't Kill You:
According to the makers of the weapon, when used properly it doesn't, under any circumstances, kill you or do any lasting damage. The beam temporarily blinds bad guys so they can be arrested, or they can be set up as a perimeter defense to keep an attack at bay.
Why You'll Wish it Had:
Ever went for a piss in the middle of the night, walked into the bathroom and turned on the light? Hurts, huh? Well this thing is many hundreds of times more powerful, and specially designed to project a wavelength that's most effective at short-circuiting your eyeballs.
Not many other nations are developing this technology. Now, this could be because the US military is far superior to those of the rest of the world. Or it could be that the 1995 Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons banned lasers and the US military just couldn't give a fuck about international weapons bans.
The ban came after concern from humanitarian groups, something about potential crowds of blinded refugees wandering around in a war zone and slowly starving to death. So the PHASR developers just turned own the power enough to skirt the ban.
The problem is that they still had to make it powerful enough that even the biggest badass enemy soldier would still go running the opposite direction, screaming and clutching his eyeballs, but that it somehow wouldn't do any damage to an innocent toddler's still-developing retinas. Seems like kind of a fine line there, but we're sure they know what they're doing.
#5. The Active Denial System (aka Massive Pain Ray)
The Active Denial System (ADS) is a giant heat ray (or pain ray as it's informally and less ambiguously known). The weapon fires electromagnetic radiation at the target causing a painful burning sensation.
It can penetrate through layers of clothing, though apparently can't pass through thick metal such as a trash can, so basically Oscar the Grouch should be fine but Big Bird is fucked.
Why It Won't Kill You:
The military says the ray only causes the impression of burning (they say your hair won't actually catch on fire, for instance). The ray just barely penetrates the skin, just enough to make your nerve endings think you're on fire. To prove this, they often invite people to stand in front of it.
Why You'll Wish it Had:
The military insists the weapon is safe because targets run away so quickly, and don't get a whole lot of exposure. Likewise, concerns that it can melt your fucking eyes were answered by pointing out how quickly people snap their eyes shut and turn away when blasted with the beam. So, what if you can't run away? Like, say, you are wounded because you're in a fucking war zone? We suppose you're going to lay there and feel like somebody stuck you in a microwave oven.
Not to mention that all of the safety testing was conducted by the army. The same people who want a green light given on the weapon's safety. So the testing procedure probably went like this:
The Army: Is that weapon safe?
The Army: Yes.
The Army: Excellent.
That problem is all of the scenarios that don't come up in testing (for instance when cops found out that tasers plus pepper spray equals fire). So the military will have a lot of explaining to do when the ADS crosses streams with a PHASR up there and sends the victim into another dimension.
#4. The Laser Induced Plasma Channel (aka Invisible Pain Fence)
The Laser Induced Plasma Channel, or Portal Denial System, is the kind of electric barrier/force field we've seen in sci-fi for decades. So, it can be set up in a corridor to allow only authorized people to pass through it. Should unauthorized people pass through it, well, let's just say they'll have an electrifying experience. They might get quite a shock. They will suffer severe electric burns.
It's basically this:
Yeah, go get yourself a crowbar.
Why It Won't Kill You:
The Plasma Channel delivers a non-lethal electric charge which means it won't kill you, just as tasers won't kill you. They just make you thrash around and scream about injustice. Besides, if you happen to see the below in a corridor and you don't stay the fuck away from it, then you deserve everything you get. And what you'll get is 10,000 volts. Darwinism in action people.
Why You'll Wish it Had:
Ever stumble and fall into a wall? Did it hurt? Ever stumble and fall into an electric fence? Did that hurt? Ever stumble and fall through an electric barrier leaving your body caught between the electrified plasma channels, twitching in the high voltage current while you scream out in pain at the Portal Denial System operator who can't hear you because he's listening to baseball?
If not, then don't worry. The system is being developed for both "military and civilian applications," so you'll have plenty of chances to find out.

I often see recipes (usually for fruit mead or beer) warning against boiling fruit for fear that it will release pectin. I know that this is important for making jam, and bad for home brewing. What I don't quite know is why it's a bad thing. Does pectin have a negative impact on the fermentation process? Is it bad for yeast? Does it negatively affect flavour? Does it affect aging? Why is it so important to avoid pectin?
Pectin causes a really strong haze. Of course if you have a lot of pectin you can get some gummy residues or globs, but these settle out. Pectin haze tends to be tough to get rid of even with cold temps and aging.
All in all, if you are making a cloudy-style wheat beer that you want to add fruit to, worrying about the pectin haze is a but overkill.
There are mainly two issues when dealing with pectins:
A rule of tumb is to use low to medium pectin content fruits:
Even the clarity issue isn't a big thing, given the methods that can be used to clarify your brew. I think that the maximum flavor extraction outweighs the relatively minor clarity issue, IMHO.

85-year-old graduate
Monday, May 23, 2005
(San Luis Obispo, CALIF)- Columbia College-San Luis Obispo at Cuesta College will award a bachelor's degree in general studies to the oldest known Columbia College graduate at 6 p.m. Friday, May 27 at Cuesta College's Student Center Conference Room 5401. Thirty-two other students will graduate from Columbia College-San Luis Obispo, as well.
Catharina Bybee of Atascadero, Calif., will graduate at age 85. She is being researched by Guinness World Records as possibly the oldest graduate in the country.
Bybee spent her middle-age years raising her five children and working with her husband in Cayucos, Calif., at their car repair business. At age 56, she earned an associate degree in nursing, but it wasn't until she was 60 and suffered a massive heart attack that she realized she needed to enjoy life more fully. At age 72, she stopped working as a nurse and began traveling.
At 82, Bybee was taking a class at Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo when she decided to return to school for her bachelor's degree from Columbia College.
"I earned a B in my first class," Bybee recalls. "It was on Shakespeare, and I didn't know Shakespeare from Adam. But once I got going, I did fine."
For the next two years, Bybee didn't miss a class, and she always brought food for her classmates who were coming straight from work to school.
After her last class ended at Columbia College, Bybee began an intensive 60-hour program that will train her to be a senior peer counselor to senior citizens who are experiencing difficulties. With her new career, children, eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, Bybee said her life is full.
"I want to encourage my grandchildren and seniors that anything is possible," she said. "You can do anything if you put your mind to it, even if you are 85!"
Columbia College-San Luis Obispo offers on-campus and online bachelor's degrees in business administration, criminal justice administration, general studies/interdisciplinary studies, psychology and computer information systems. The campus is part of Columbia College's network of 30 nationwide campuses. Columbia College was founded in Missouri in 1851.

We study the role of retinoids such as all-trans (atRA) and 9-cis retinoic acids in neuronal growth, development and regeneration in both vertebrate and invertebrate model systems. We use the spinal cord of the adult newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) to examine the role of atRA in a system capable of epimorphic regeneration into adulthood.
We have found that atRA can promote neurite outgrowth and direct growth cone turning in cultured newt spinal cord explants and that this small molecule works through the specific nuclear receptor, retinoic acid receptor beta 2 (RARβ2). We have cloned the newt homolog of RARβ2 and have determined that, unlike in adult mammalian spinal cord tissue, expression of the newt receptor is maintained in normal spinal cord in the adult and upregulated after spinal cord injury. We are presently involved in studies to determine the precise function of atRA signaling in this process and to identify putative downstream targets of this pathway required for regeneration of the cord.
In collaboration with Gaynor Spencer in our department, we have extended our studies on the role of these retinoids in promoting and guiding outgrowth of isolated, identifiable neurons from the brain of the pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis). We have provided evidence that both atRA and 9-cis RA can promote survival and outgrowth as well as provide directional cues in vitro for visceral F neurons and Pedal A ciliary motorneurons. Most recently we have provided strong evidence that these retinoids are acting via a novel non-genomic mechanism to elicit growth cone turning in these neurons , since turning in response to an applied gradient of atRA can still occur in isolated growth cones surgically removed from their cell bodies and nuclei. Studies are underway to decipher the precise mechanisms underlying this non-genomic form of retinoid signaling.

For $i, j \in \{ 1, \ldots, n \}$, let $X_{i,j}$ be a real-valued random variable uniformly distributed on the interval $[0,1]$. The $X_{i,j}$ are independent.
Let $A_{i,j}$ be the indicator random variable of the event that $X_{i,j}$ is a local maximum, i. e. it is the largest of the five random variables $X_{i,j}, X_{i,j+1}, X_{i,j-1}, X_{i-1,j}, X_{i+1, j}$. For the sake of not having to think about boundary conditions, interpret all coordinates modulo $n$.
Then it's clear that $E A_{i,j} = 1/5$, by symmetry. It's also not hard to see that:
$E (A_{i,j} A_{i,j+1}) = 0$, since we can't have local maxima both at $(i,j)$ and at $(i,j+1)$. (The case where $X_{i,j} = X_{i,j+1}$ can be ignored since it occurs with probability zero.
I believe $E (A_{i,j} A_{i,j+2}) = 2/45$ and $E(A_{i,j} A_{i+1,j+1}) = 1/20$. (In any case, these are clearly constants, and their exact values don't matter.)
$E(A_{i,j} A_{k,l}) = 1/25$ for all choices of $i, j, k, l$ other than the ones I already listed and those that clearly are related to them by symmetry. That is, $A_{i,j}$ and $A_{k,l}$ are independent unless the rook-neighborhoods of $(i,j)$ and $(k,l)$ overlap.
From this we can compute the mean and variance of $M_n = \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n A_{i,j}$, the total number of maxima. Of course $EM = n^2/5$. The variance is a bit harder to compute and I haven't actually written out the computation, but it ought to be asymptotic to $c^2 n^2$ for some positive $c$. (It is the sum of $\Theta(n^2)$ covariances each of order 1.)
Let $\tilde{M}_n = (M_n-n^2/5)/(cn)$. Then $\tilde{M}_n$ has mean $0$ and variance $1$. Is it true that the sequence $\{ \tilde{M_n} \}_{n=1}^\infty$ converges in distribution to the standard normal? Intuitively this seems like it should be true -- we're adding up a bunch of small, almost-independent contributions. If it's true, how can this be proven?
This problem came from last year's qualifying exam in probability at Penn; it's been making the rounds around here over the past few days but nobody seems to remember how to do it.

FHA Highly Leveraged, Lacks Reserves to Cover Losses
"How much money are the taxpayers supposed to throw at housing so people can put down 5 percent or less and pay a government-subsidized low interest rate?"
That's the question Mises Institute President Doug French asked in response to the news the Federal Housing Administration's auditors predict a 50-50 chance the FHA could need a taxpayer bailout within a year.
The FHA now backs one-third of all residential mortgages being written, up from 5 percent just five years ago.
"The housing market is not going to clear as long as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac [government-sponsored entities that are also major players in the mortgage market] are kept in business and fraudulent insurance programs like FHA continue," French said. "Of course, the FHA isn't 'insurance' at all but a redistribution benefiting the housing industry that has benefited from government subsidy and cheerleading since Herbert Hoover's 'own your own home program.'"
Just $2.6 Billion in Reserves
An audit of the FHA's Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund by Integrated Financial Engineering Inc. of Rockville, Md., notes the FHA's reserves stand at just $2.6 billion, down 45 percent from $4.7 billion one year ago. That's on approximately $1 trillion of loan exposure in 2011, up from $305 billion at the end of 2007.
Continuing declines in the housing market could lead to more defaults and foreclosures and push FHA losses directly onto the backs of taxpayers.
"As was the case last year, the new actuarial study shows that FHA is expected to sustain significant losses from loans insured prior to 2009, and thus its capital reserve remains below the congressionally mandated threshold of two percent of total insurance-in-force," the Department of Housing and Urban Development noted in a statement. "However, the actuaries' report concludes that, barring a further significant downturn in home prices, the MMI Fund will start to rebuild capital in 2012, and return to a level of two percent by 2014—outpacing last year's prediction."
The Reason Foundation's director of economic research, Anthony Randazzo, warns HUD's confident tone should be taken with a few grains of salt.
Leveraged 422 to 1
"Bookkeeping at the FHA is notoriously sloppy, and I would not be surprised if the bailout odds were really closer to 75-25," he said. "The reality is that the FHA is dangerously overextended. The FHA's capital buffer has been below the congressionally mandated minimum since 2009.
"And consider that Lehman Brothers was leveraged 32 to 1 when they went bankrupt. The FHA is currently levered at 422 to 1, according to the actuarial report," Randazzo said.
Congress created the FHA some 80 years ago to insure loans to persons at the lower end of the economic scale. Those borrowers could obtain FHA loans with 3 percent down payments. In many instances, the FHA allowed borrowers to finance some of the down payment, leaving those borrowers to put down as little as 1.5 percent.
With the FHA backing one-third of all new mortgages, it has expanded well beyond its traditional low-income niche and into the market traditionally covered by private lenders.
"Private lenders will finance homes. But they will demand larger down payments and rates higher than 4 percent [the current rate on a 30-year fixed-rate loan]," French said. Noting taxpayers are being put on the hook so "people can put down 5 percent or less and pay a government-subsidized low interest rate," French added, "Lawmakers should sweep FHA into history's dustbin. But they won't. Housing is a sacred cow in Washington. "
90 Percent Federalized
Ronald Utt, a senior research fellow in economic policy at the Heritage Foundation, notes the FHA has gone from "almost totally forgotten" 15 years ago to an important part of a mortgage market that is now almost entirely federalized. More than 90 percent of mortgages now go through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the FHA.
"By elevating the FHA to a more prominent position, we are subjecting the FHA and taxpayers to all of the problems that continue to exist in the depressed mortgage market," he said. "Home prices continue to fall. The private sector lenders are increasingly skeptical about what their rights are. They can't foreclose. People are engaging in strategic defaults. They reason, 'Why buy something that is worth less than I'm paying for it?'"
On the other hand, Utt said, major mortgage lenders who know how to game the system are happy to keep things as they are.
Contractors to Government
"Wells Fargo and Bank of America are making money not in holding mortgages but in making mortgages. They have guaranteed buyers in Fannie and Freddie. The private sector is happy to be profitable contractors to the federal government," Utt said. "They are resistant to any effort to shift more responsibility to a recreated private market. They have a good deal now. They are making billions of dollars sending mortgages off to Fannie and Freddie."
Utt recalled in the late 1980s and early 1990s there was a "select real estate recession" in California, Texas, and certain other states that put the FHA in financial straits. Jack Kemp, then U.S. secretary of housing and urban development, cut out risky loans and improved FHA management to avoid a taxpayer bailout.
"I don't know if they can do that now," Utt said. "I don't see a quick turnaround in housing, and financial industry lobbyists are opposed to a restoration of the private market. It's profitable and risk-free for them, and it doesn't get much better than that."

I suffer from hyperhyrdosis which means my hands sweat quite a lot. The problem is that because of this my electric guitar strings seem to rust quite quickly because of this. Is there anything I can do to stop my strings from rusting so easily? Perhaps a spray or solution I can wipe over even after or before use.
The one and just about only suggestion I have is to use coated strings such as Elixirs. I used to have 'em on my #1 and #2 acoustics, and I liked the feel of them. I never had your problem, so don't know if that's an acceptable solution to you.
You can use for example GHS fast fret to clean the strings before and after playing. This should do the trick...
Also wash your hands before playing. As VarlogRant points out coated strings will be better as well.
Some alloys are more resistant to rust and corrosion as well. Nickel strings are available and should be quite resistant.
put on a new set of strings, and make it a habit to clean the strings after each use. It'll keep dirt from building up and corroding the strings.
I recommend this: http://thestringcleaner.com
I have the same problem you do. If I forget to wipe down anything metal I've sweated on, it rusts/pits/etc. I experimented with different brands of strings and found that of the uncoated strings, DAddario lasts the longest for me.
Also, Old School Aqua Velva after shave works great to clean up the strings after a session. I sprinkle a little on a lint free cleaning rag and wipe down each string after each playing session. I still have over half the bottle of Aqua Velva left that I bought in roughly 1985. Use it sparingly.
Hope this helps.
Guitar strings are, to an extent, sacrificial. As in, they're not expected to last too long. When I was gigging often and regularly, they would get changed every other gig. The tone of new strings has that 'twang' that older strings have lost. Pro's change every gig, but they can afford it !
WD40 is a water repellant, good for spraying on strings after playing, BUT - slip something under your strings, over the fretboard to stop it reaching the wood. It may not be detrimental, but could be seen as mental.
Completely off the wall, you could try surgical gloves that are a good tight fit, for at least part of your practice time.
Someone I know carries Talcum Powder (I think this might be the same as baby powder?) as part of his electric guitar "kit bag" and is very fastidious about using it to keep his hands dry. So you might try that.
If your fingers appear to be too acidic one must ask the simple but direct question - how is your digestive system? The easiest way to minimise acid at the fingertips is to minimise acid at the other end of your fingers. I too had suffered for years with the 'Pig Pen' acidic rain going on all over my strings. I then discovered through research, as a Martial Artist and Fitness Leader, adjusting the intake of food and beverages to a more alkaline ratio, 60 to 80% Alkaline depending on body type, or liver function. One other reason may indeed be a bio chemical reaction between your fingers, and the materials coating the string, or the material the string is made of. Perhaps you may have a high static electricity field causing a polarity shift that draws moisture and cell salts from your finger tips. Follow the prompts - wash hands and dry thoroughly. Keep an absorbent cloth or hand towel in your kit. After many years of trying and buying, don't bother with adding stuff to your fingers - 'cover and smother' might work for the CIA, but gunk won't work. Get a string cleaning gizmo that slips under and over the strings and run it up and down the neck - its soft on the outside (won't damage the board) and rough on the inside to grab the grunge.

If I have a question, and it is marked dupe, the system should check to see if it was offered as a related question when the title was being typed (simply by using the same search feature that the AJAX uses), and if my title doesn't match against the dupe in the related searches, the question should not be closed as dupe. If it's not offered, then one of two things happened. Either, A) the question wasn't close enough to be considered dupe, or B) they were similar but value exists in leaving both up for the differing titles (some people ask similar questions if varying ways and passers by may never find version A in their search but they would have found the "dupe" if it were left alone and answered appropriately).
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Don't allow for a question to be marked dupe if the dupe doesn't show up under "related" after typing your question
There's a problem with this approach:
Duplicate questions can share no words in common, and if not tagged properly, won't show up in the related search column.
The "Related" column depends heavily on the title as well as the tags in the question.
Example 2 (duplicate of Example 1):
Those two will likely not show up in the related search, even though they are duplicates.
Why not? It's still a duplicate.
I think the problem is that some people think that having a question closed as a dupe is some sort of punishment. Closing it is an attempt to concentrate the knowledge present on SO and avoid duplicate (duh?) effort of people writing answers. It's not because something is particularly wrong with the question.
What to do about this?
There seems to be a couple of fundamentally flawed assumptions here. First, that the computer is always right, while a human looking at the same data is wrong. Second, that the person asking the question actually bothered to read what the computer suggested might be duplicates before posting the question. In the first instance, when it comes to math I usually believe the computer is right and recheck my math first. When it comes to subjective interpretation, though, I'm much less trusting of the computer's (the algorithm, in reality) judgement. In the second instance, user's don't read.
This is one of the reasons that Stack Overflow is heavily community moderated.
You mean not close enough to be considered a dupe by the software that does a cursory check for exact duplicates. That doesn't mean it's not the same as another question.
This part is exactly right. We do normally leave duplicate questions that are worded differently on the site. That is, we close them but don't delete them. The reason for this is exactly as you stated, so other people using the same keywords as the second question can find it. Note that a link to the original question is automatically placed at the top of the post whenever a question is closed as a duplicate. This is to ensure that people can find the original, even if they searched using different terms.
I disagree.
When two version of the same question have very dissimilar wording, we have a good candidate for leaving the later case undeleted because that improves the searchability of the site.
But it is still a duplicate, and we still want to have only one canonical version of each question. Accordingly, differently worded duplicates should still be closed.

The 7 Stalloneyest Moments of Stallone's Film Career
#3. Sly Shows Off His "Demolitioning" Skills
It should be obvious by now that Stallone can really play the renegade cop role to stone-faced perfection. But by 1993, audiences were bored with seeing the same hard-nosed law enforcing character from Sly. Thus, Demolition Man was born. Yes, Stallone stars as a rebellious cop who plays by his own rules, but this time in the future ... with Wesley Snipes.
In the future, the letter E will look retarded.
Demolition Man tells the story of a beret-wearing cop and a madman who are frozen and then thawed out years later to take the "non" out of the non-violent future city of San Angeles. Though the city appears to be a utopian society that has long-since abandoned its seedy past, there are still a peculiar amount of guns and ammunition that are readily available. And Stallone and Snipes utilize damn-near every single bullet in the future. Also, Snipes kind of looks like Grace Jones.
Maybe a touch less terrifying.
One might be tempted to use words and phrases like fish out of water, ex cop, enemy, bare butt, and psychopath to describe this film. After all, those are the keywords that IMDb uses, but no one word can encapsulate the final climactic battle between John Spartan (Stallone) and Simon Phoenix (Snipes).
Stalloneyest Moment?
The futuristic cryogenics lab utilizes a giant crane game for some reason. Sly sneaks in, completely oblivious to the arcade-like torture device dangling just overhead. Rocky and Blade have a full-fledged showdown in the lab, and Stallone actually dives through the air whilst firing duel pistols. After gaining the upper hand, Phoenix in a truly Bond-villainesque move, refuses to kill Sly when he has the chance, opting instead to demean him with vaguely racist put-downs ("I'll fry your ass like a chicken!").
Stallone repays this (confusing) hate speech by flexing his way out of the crane and, upholding the duties of his badge, brings Snipes to justice ... Stallone style. And by that we mean he kicks Wesley Snipes's motherfucking head off his shoulders.
Also, Snipes is frozen.
#2. Stallone Dominates the Seedy Underground ... Arm Wrestling Circuit?
Never before, in the history of cinema, has a movie's title so accurately described the plot.
Or the poster.
Based on the poster, you might think that the movie is about a gigantic, somewhat annoyed and extremely well-oiled Stallone patrolling the country with his eagle sidekick, crushing cars and causing chaos wherever he goes. While that movie would be amazing and undoubtedly destroy box office records, this is not that film.
He is well lubricated, but Stallone portrays a down-on-his-luck truck driver who, following the death of his wife, sets about trying to reconcile with his estranged son. As you might expect, the kid isn't pumped about having a deadbeat truck driver for a dad. That is, until he finds out that Stallone is one fan-fucking-tastic arm wrestler. Somehow, through winning an arm wrestling tournament, Stallone wins both the respect from and custody of his son.
... and this sweet ass trophy.
Stalloneyest Moment?
This clip really displays several elements of Stalloneyness. First we are treated to astounding violence when Lincoln Hawk (Sly) pushes a man through some very nice French doors, at the very least severely injuring his victim. Then we see a series of overconfident, and overweight antagonists. Inexplicably, one man uses a strange analogy ("I'm going through you like gas through a funnel") and drinks a quart of motor oil which we assume could only hurt his chances.
Slightly racist, totally delicious!
Then to the roar of hundreds of bicep hungry fans, Stallone's bottom lip finds depths previously thought unreachable by science as he beats two opponents and advances to the finals. It should be noted that Stallone only entered the tournament to show what a good father he could be, but while it's going on, his unsupervised child travels the streets of Las Vegas without him. Hey, that's life, kid. When your dad is Stallone, anyway.
Fun Fact:
Stallone's son is named Michael "Mike" Hawk, which, when spoken aloud (especially in the flubbering lips of Sly) might sound, to some immature Internet comedians, a lot like "my cock."
#1. John Rambo, the whole damn thing
John Rambo is the modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing [Citation Needed].
"...and removed thou head with a machete."
Stallone's most beloved role, apart from Rocky Balboa, is the clearly unstable Vietnam veteran, John J. Rambo. Until 2008, the Rambo series was considered, by many, to be the greatest trilogy in cinema history. When John Rambo hit the screen in 2008, it became the best quadrilogy.
Although in his 60s, Stallone pulled triple duty as the film's director, writer and of course star. Sly really brought everything he had to the role: a chemically enhanced muscle-bound body, a face that resembled one of the melted Nazis from Raiders of the Lost Ark and a passionless, exuberant bloodlust.
Stallone with and without makeup.
Stalloneyest Moment?
The thing about John Rambo, a.k.a. Rambo IV is that there is no clear line between Sly's finest moments. The whole fucking movie is just one 90-minute long Stalloney moment. This video shows just a fraction of the glorious, PTS-inspired violence that made Rambo an instant classic. Be warned, the clip is NSFW-ish, unless you are in the Burmese extermination business.
So what's been going on with John Rambo for the past 20 or so years? Well he's moved into the deep jungle to pursue his apparent dream of being a blacksmith who fishes with a bow and arrow. During the video, we see that Rambo is really a humanitarian. He's like a trigger happy Mother Teresa. Huge explosions, canings, hostage takings and an emotional prayer scene. All of this happens before Rambo comes out of retirement. At the 2:06 mark, we see Rambo karate chop a man's head off. And that's nothing compared to the headsplosions and trachea related violence that is still to come. And that's just the freaking trailer.
One of these men is about to lose a wind pipe.
Among Stallone's eight or so lines is his justification for the hour or so of killing he's just finished. "When you're pushed, killing is as easy as breathing." What the fuck? Is that true? Are we all just one shove away from inhaling blood and exhaling guts? Well if we are just two steps from turning into Rambo, push away.

Prenatal Strengthening and Toning Exercises
4 of 5
The Bridge
This exercise works your bottom, hamstrings, and inner thighs, and builds strength in your lower body to support your growing belly. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor and knees slightly apart. Raise your hips (this relieves pressure on your back and is safe in the second and third trimesters). Keep your hands on the floor next to you, arms straight. Slowly bring your knees together while clenching your bottom; open and close your knees 10 times. Slowly lower your hips and roll onto your left side to end.

Wessel Iron & Supply has partnered with KDCB to offer a special Saturday opportunity in celebration of Earth Day for the disposal of metal items. From 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, they will be open to allow residents who find the work week a difficult time to clean their properties of unneeded metal items and take them to Wessel Iron at 803 E. Trail St. They are unable to accept aluminum cans which can be taken to the CREW recycle center at 716 E. Military.
Twice a year the Ford County household hazardous waste trailer is parked on the east side of the Civic Center to offer the convenient disposal opportunity for unwanted residential hazardous materials. From 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, residents can bring items such as paint products, automotive products, pesticides, herbicides, cleansers, batteries, etc. for safe disposal.
Also at the Civic Center this year will be the police department who will participate in the Prescription Take Back Day. Residents can turn in their unwanted/outdated prescription medications for safe disposal. This is an excellent opportunity to clean out medicine cabinets of prescription medications that are no longer needed, remove them from the home and have them safely disposed. It is no longer an acceptable practice to dispose of medications down the sink or stool. The police will be available from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Cargill Meat Solutions will also be hosting the annual riverbed cleanup. Volunteers should meet at the park shelter just east of the bandshell in Wright Park to pick up their t-shirt (for the first 250) and supplies at 9:45 am and be ready for the cleanup of litter that will begin at 10:00 am. Lunch provided by Cargill will be served following the cleanup. It is suggested that volunteers bring their own gloves.
Wessel Iron & Supply, Ford County Household Hazardous Waste, Police Department, Cargill Meat Solutions and Keep Dodge City Beautiful encourage residents to take advantage of this Saturday opportunity to help cleanup our residential properties as well as the riverbed.

I have a 16-node Mellanox cluster built with Mellanox ConnectX3 cards. Recently I have updated the MLNX_OFED to the 2.0.5 version. The reason of this e-mail to the OpenMPI users list is that I am not able to run MPI applications using the service levels (SLs) feature of the OpenMPI driver.
Currently, the nodes have the Red-Hat 6.4 with the kernel 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64. I have compiled OpenMPI 1.6.4 with:
Ā./configure --with-sge --with-openib=/usr --enable-openib-connectx-xrc --enable-mpi-thread-multiple --with-threads --with-hwloc --enable-heterogeneous --with-fca=/opt/mellanox/fca --with-mxm-libdir=/opt/mellanox/mxm/lib --with-mxm=/opt/mellanox/mxm --prefix=/home/jescudero/opt/openmpi
I have modified the OpenSM code (which is based on 3.3.15) in order to include a special routing algorithm based on "ftree". Apparently all is correct with the OpenSM since it returns the SLs when I execute the command "saquery --src-to-dst slid:dlid". Anyway, I have also tried to run the OpenSM with the DFSSSP algorithm.
However, when I try to run MPI applications (i.e. HPCC, OSU or even alltoall.c -included in the OpenMPI sources-) I experience some errors if the "btl_openib_path_record_info" is set to "1", otherwise (i.e. if the btl_openib_path_record_info is not enabled) the application execution ends correctly. I run the MPI application with the next command:
mpirun -display-allocation -display-map -np 8 -machinefile maquinas.aux --mca btl openib,self,sm --mca mtl mxm --mca btl_openib_ib_path_record_service_level 1 --mca btl_openib_cpc_include oob hpcc
I obtain the next trace:

Has anyone ever stayed at Drury Inn and Suites? It's showing as the #1 ranked hotel in Orlando on TripAdvisor. It looks pretty good at first glance, with complimentary hot and cold breakfast every morning; complimentary evening appetizers/snacks including chicken tenders, pasta, etc... ; and free popcorn and soda throughout the day in the lobby. I'm thinking that that would cut down on my food budget immensely!
However, I've never heard of this hotel before, and I am toying with the idea of staying off-site on this trip and adding a few extra days instead.
We have stayed at Drury Inn & Suites many times at several locations throughout the country and loved them. Their perks make it really worthwhile. The rooms have always been very quiet and comfortable.

Does anyone know if any of the hotels or resorts have a mid-day shuttle?
Some schedule only morning and evening shuttles, but others run them several times a day. Disney transportation is continuous (until an hour after the parks close, I think). The websites of the off-site hotels/resorts should have their shuttle schedules posted for you to compare.
Posted 17 March 2013 - 04:39 PM
We went this year in December but not with this group. We stayed off site for two days while we net to Legoland at the Mystic Dunes Resort. We use a groupon and got a good deal through them. We had a one bedroom, king size bed with jacuzzi, a pull out couch and full size bathroom, a kitchen. They had a clubhouse and many pools that we can use. Although they do not provide a shuttle to Disney that no know of. We loved being able to go out to eat and bring the rest home to eat at a later time. We purchased groupons for two local restaurants one being Giordano's which we love, brought it back and we had plenty to eat for the next day. We are currently thinking about staying off site this time around as we'll.
We then stayed on site for 4 night at the Caribbean Resort and loved it but the room seems a little small and not worth what we thought it should have been. Sure it had its perk like not driving our car around for those days but we barely spent anytime in the room and probably could have saved more off the resort.

For those of you looking into off site hotels/resorts. The Nickelodeon Suites Resort has rooms for a nightly average of $74 a night. That is if you book under "Stay 6 and Save" option. This is a Delux 2 bedroom themed suite King/Bunk room, (With the Deluxe 2-Bedroom Themed Suite option, your kids can vacation with their favorite Nickelodeon characters. The Deluxe 2-Bedroom suite features two bedrooms, a master bedroom for parents with a king size bed which includes a door for privacy, and a semi-private Nickelodeon themed kids' room with their own bunk beds and television. The living area has room to relax with a 32" flat screen TV, wireless internet, a bathroom, and a kitchenette with a microwave and mini fridge. Including the pullout sleeper sofa, there is enough room for six people to sleep. (485 square feet with a maximum occupancy of 6 guests) Free scheduled transportation to all Disney Theme Parks, free parking, free wifi, free onsite entertainment/waterpark. You can book all 7 nights for just a little over $800.

Kristi how was the transportation to Disney from The Nickelodeon Suites Resort? It doesn't give a schedule and just says it is first come first served. How was your experience?
Posted 25 March 2013 - 08:00 PM
I do not know. This will be our first time going there but all the reviews are good and didn't really hear anything bad. If you are worried about transportation you can always park in downtown Disney for free and take the shuttles to where you want to go. They do not check any ID on the shuttles.
Posted 25 March 2013 - 08:37 PM
My only concern is that I want to be able to get back to the room midday to lay the babies down. I called Nickelodeon Suites Resort and the transport schedule was not out for November yet. The lady I spoke with said she could only tell me what they had available now and last month. So it looked like the return shuttles were 2:20, 4:20, 6:20 and 8:20 or so on. I'll keep looking. I wish onsite wasn't so pricey, I'll figure it out.

We've decided to stay at Homewood Suites for $109.32 tax included per. The draw for us was the spacious room and kitchen area, so we have to option to cook. It does offer Disney shuttle to Epcot. This is our first time to Disney and we're super excited!

Christine, does it offer shuttle to other parks, too? Or just to Epcot? You can get from Epcot to Disney's Ticket and Transportation Center via the monorail, then get to wherever you need to go from there, but it will be more convenient if their shuttle goes to the other parks (and Downtown Disney), too.

Does anyone here have recommendations for campgrounds? We have stayed at Disney's Fort Wilderness, but it's pretty expensive. We are interested in off-site RV parks. Thanks.

Stephanie, we had a lot of campers last year. I'll ask them to come here and share their recommendations.

There are two that I have heard of from the disboards.com. They are Tropical Palms Resort and Turkey Lake. We have thought of staying there but ruled them out for the following reasons. By the time we paid parking at the parks each day Tropical Palms would cost as much as Fort Wilderness. Turkey Lake is run by the City of Orlando and the rate was $8.00 a night (I am not sure what it is now.). Turkey Lake is a drive from the parks and it does fill up quickly.
I am not sure if I have been helpful. I know these parks were recommended a lot on the disboards.com under Camping at Disney World.

Someone from my Facebook community replied: Stayed at the KOA campground 20 minutes from Disney. Loved it they had great cabins, a pond to paddle boat, a nice restaurant.
Posted 05 May 2013 - 12:02 PM
Shelley, that's a good point about the parking fee. I think it's still $14 per day for 2013, but may go up before our dates (if they increase prices, it's usually in early fall, from what I've noticed).
Families won't have to pay for parking on the day of their educational program at the park where you'll be attending the program. If you go to another park after the program, you'll have to pay for parking. You'll receive a confirmation for your program, and it waives the parking fee.

Shifra, from Facebook, says:
I'm on my phone and can't comment on the forum.... But I just wanted to assure your readers that we have done many Disney trips, twice with Carolina Homeschooler (best value by far!!!). We have stayed on property and off property. As long as your expectations are reasonable, your trip will be just as successful, regardless of where you stay. The last two trips we took with Carolina Homeschooler, we rented condos off property, with multiple bedrooms, full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and resort style pools. The money we saved by staying off property allowed us to stay longer (our last trip was two full weeks, with activities every day). We had people over to our condo for random meals and we loved every minute of our trip. Carolina Homeschooler is an unbelievable value, with incredible families, and great classes for the kids. I highly recommend!!!!

Three years ago I stayed at Bonnet Creek for a Disney girl's trip. It was in November and we paid $70 a night for a two bedroom condo. One Mom found it on a vacation rental site or timeshare site. Bonnet Creek is as close to the parks as an on-property hotel. They have transportation but I believe they charge a small fee for this service now. There is a thread on the disboards.com with pictures. It was really nice with a washer/dryer in the condo. We made breakfast, took pb&j for lunch to the parks, and crockpot meals for dinner.

WooHoo! Just rented our condo for Disney. Got an awesome deal and hoping to share with a friend but if not it is still in my budget. 4 bdrm/3Bath (2 master ensuites) with it's own private hot tub for $89 a night and every 7 days gets a night free. So I'm getting 16 nights for the price of 14. Doing the happy dance. http://www.sweethomevacation.com

Hawaiianatheart - I think you got an awesome deal! I've checked the website a couple of times since you posted and haven't found anything close to that!
I think we just got a pretty great deal for a 3BR Deluxe at Wyndham Bonnet Creek through www.vacationstrategy.com - $1257 for 9 nights - all taxes, fees, etc. included. I still plan to re-check prices, especially on redweek.com and ebay, as we get closer, because I can cancel without penalty up to 20 days in advance. I know the 1 and 2 BRs can be a LOT less expensive because there are so many of them. However, we needed the 3BRs + pull-out sofa and there isn't as large an inventory.
Now, I know there are better deals out there - but for us and our dates, needs, and proximity to Disney, this is a great fit. And, if anyone else is hoping to rent at Bonnet Creek, I wanted to recommend Vacation Strategy as a good place to start, esp. if you need a 3BR.
On a similar note, I've been looking at houses and getting quotes, and I can't believe how much more expensive the rates have been compared to 2 years ago! Has anyone else having the same experience?
Anyway, hopefully, this will help someone!

I have an HTC Incredible, rooted to MIUI, and am frozen on the white Incredible boot screen. I need to grab a few pictures off the phone before I do a new install. Is it possible to access the phone memory from ClockworkMod recovery? I tried to mount the '/emmc' from the recovery prompt, but nothing shows up on the PC. How can I access the photos?
/emmc is basically ok and accessible if you can 'mount' it. You already have a working CWM installed which comes with adb enabled. This gives you some options. Boot to CWM recovery and mount your partition in the 'mounts and storage' section. It's now accessible internally and you can use the adb tool (ADB stands for 'Android debug bridge', it's usually used to develop and debug things) to pull data off the device:
PS: I prefer the command line adb tool (2nd solution). I have little experience with the gui tools. But generally they should work as well.
Here's how I usually do it (using only the commandline):
I don't know if it's the same on your phone, but on my Blade I can just mount /sdcard (or maybe /emmc in your case) and then "mount USB storage" in the Mount and Storage Menu.
Your pictures should be stored on your SD card, so just take it out and get the pictures with a PC.

5 Personality Flaws That Science Will Cure in Our Lifetime
#2. Anger
You know how some people are always on the edge of losing their shit? Seemingly on the verge of an orgy of anger every time something goes just a little bit different than they wanted? Besides just being general douchebags, some of them are probably only lacking a little serotonin, otherwise known as the happiness hormone.
When serotonin is released in our brains, we get a feeling of well-being and contentment. Pretty sweet, right? Unfortunately, some people have naturally low serotonin levels, or the serotonin receptors in their brains are not as active. Unable to feel the same sense of contentment, they become prone to anger-management issues, or worse, massive depression.
Or even worse, hulking it up.
Cured By:
By bumping serotonin levels, we can hopefully take the edge off our impulsive, angry urges. And the cure might be just as easy as a diet fix. Even better, that diet fix could be a nice helping of delicious turkey.
For our bodies to make serotonin, which is what keeps us happy and reduces impulsive behavior, we need tryptophan, which also happens to be uber present in foods such as chocolate and poultry. Our diet is actually the only way our bodies can get the raw materials they need to make serotonin, which explains why people are grumpier when they haven't eaten.
To test their hypothesis, researchers were able to use dietary changes to lower the serotonin levels of otherwise normal people. Then they made them play a fairness game. Subjects were told they could split a pot of money with their partners any way they saw fit. If the partner accepted the proposed split, they both got the money; if the partner rejected it, they both got nothing.
Which doesn't explain why our traditional post-Thanksgiving Monopoly game was always so vicious.
Volunteers with lower serotonin levels were at least 50 percent more likely to reject the split, even if it meant walking away empty-handed. In other words, they let their impulsive anger urges get the better of them.
P.S. -- All of this finally explains why people who eat turkey legs at the Renaissance Faire are so damn chipper.
#1. Alcoholism
When it comes to alcoholism, there are a few things we've known for a while: One, kids of alcoholics are four times as likely to become alcoholics themselves. And two, 50 years ago alcoholism was the shit.
So now that scientists are on the whole alcoholism-is-a-little-bit-genetic bandwagon, the trick is figuring out which genes are the culprits and how to fix them. Sounds easy until you find out that some researchers are claiming the root cause isn't just a single gene, but an entire network of party-hearty bastards, all working together to turn people into drunks.
For instance, Chromosome 11, which research indicates is linked to alcohol dependence, contains a whopping 1,500 genes. So narrowing alcoholism to that one chromosome is kind of like the government saying that it's narrowed Osama bin Laden's location to "Asia."
He's there. Go get him!
Still, of everything on this list, alcoholism is the one thing researchers seem to have a cure boner for, so hopefully it's just a matter of time until it's ...
Cured By:
It looks like we might eventually have a few options. In one study, scientists figured out that a lack of dopamine receptors (remember those?) will cause the brains of alcohol drinkers to fundamentally change after long-term drinking. In other words, people whose brains have a normal pleasure and reward system can drink and their brains stay the same. But the brains of people who are missing those dopamine receptors will actually undergo biochemical changes that only reinforce addiction to alcohol.
Or addiction to flickering neon signage.
Which means that just screening potential drinkers for dopamine receptors might be the quickest and easiest way to prevent alcoholism.
Another group of scientists did even better. They discovered a gene that causes people to be especially sensitive to alcohol, which renders them less likely to drink heavily and become alcoholics. And an altogether different team of researchers is attempting to alter people's serotonin receptors to reduce their booze cravings in the first place.
Finally, the news you've been waiting for: A drug that has already been FDA-approved as a muscle relaxant has shown promise in suppressing the drinking habits of rats previously trained to imbibe copious amounts of alcohol. So these alcoholic rats were given medicine that gave them the willpower to turn away from the hooch and turn their lives around. Humans are not rats, obviously (you don't have to spend 20 years convincing rats they have a problem just to get them to take the medicine), but it's a start.

I am trying to post a Action to the Facebook Timeline using the JS API
FB.api('/me/application:action_type' + '?opject_type='+document.location.href,'post',
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
} else {
Posting works quite well and the API returns no error. A new activity appears at the Timeline but only as a small text within the "recent activities" box which looks like this:
What could be the problem if the action is not displayed like in the Attachment Preview of the Action Type Settings? Which look like this:
I have linked all the properties from the Object Type and tested my Object URL with the Facebook Debugging Tool and it looks like all the attributes can be parsed correctly by the Facebook scraper.
I also defined a aggregation layout for the action type. So what can be the reason that no Attachment is displayed?

Nested Grid Columns
I have a requirement at work that will require a grid with nested columns, similar to <td colspan="2"> in a normal table as shown below (forgive the pathetic ascii art):
* Column *
* Nested * Nested *
* Nested * Nested *
* Nested * Nested *
A couple of questions: Is this even possible with thick Table implementations like JTable? More importantly is it possible with the yui-ext grid? Finally if it is not possible, but feasible with a bit of work I could use some prodding in the right direction. I've been doing OO javascript for a few years so I'm sure I could pull it off...
If the control does not support this and it would be very difficult to add, does nesting grids within grids make sense or is that just a path I don't want to go down.
Hope the question makes sense, and thanks in advance!
29 Jan 2007 9:15 AM #2
I second that. That would be great if the grid can support colspan. For work purpose, I need something like:
* Table Title *
*col name 1 *col name 2 * col name 3 *..... *
* c1 data *c2 data * c3 data *..... *
* c1 data *c2 data * c3 data *.... *
29 Jan 2007 9:33 AM #3
Finally a reply!
I've done a little more digging and haven't really found an example of a grid control that can do this, though my search is far from exhaustive. The only thing I did find was a grid which supported multiple possibly nested headers:
Hope I don't get booted for posting that link. :wink:
I really like what I have seen of yui-ext and I think yui itself will emerge as the toolkit of choice in the next year, so I really would like to make use of this control. It has so many great features already built in, it would be a shame to have to roll that from scratch. I suspect one issue with a grid that supports colspans is that the data model class would need some modifications.
I have yet to try nesting grid controls in grid controls but I suspect this would be a messy solution and would not scale well at tall.
Hopefully a little noise on this thread will generate a response from someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject.
29 Jan 2007 9:42 AM #4
Rowspan/colspan is currently not supported by the grid, and as far as i know it wont be supported in the Grid 2.0. Also as far as i know there arent any grids out there that do support it.
The reason behind this is the huge amount of code it takes to rewrite the datamodels to support it i guess.
29 Jan 2007 9:53 AM #5
That's what I was afraid of.
It's starting to look as though I may need to roll my own solution here. I don't really need any of the advanced features of the grid such as sorting or drag and drop. I think what I really need is sort of a souped up table that would support things like dynamic sizing of rows/colums and inline editing. Anybody aware of such a beast based on yui or yui-ext?

SHERMAN, TX - Temperatures have been in the triple-digits for over a month here in Texoma, and the Sherman High School Bearcat Band has been practicing out in the sun for the past two weeks. Victoria Maranan tells us how they try to keep their cool.
Trumpets blared at Sherman High School Friday morning as the Bearcat marching band practiced under the scorching sun. Band director Ryan Jenkins says they started rehearsing on schedule despite the 100-degree heat.
"Unfortunately, calendar dates don't change for us. Football season starts just like any other. You know you have to roll with the punches. I don't know if it's ever been this hot but I think the kids will agree that 105 to 110 kind of feels the same after awhile," band director Ryan Jenkins says.
High school senior and head drum major Keven Syler has been in band since she was a freshman. She says it's never been this hot during band camp.
"It's very, very hot, but it's not so bad because our band moms bring us popsicles, they bring us coolers with ice water in it and stuff like that. We dip t-shirts in it and put it around our necks, so it's really nice. They give us lost of water breaks but we kind of just work through it," Syler says.
From their respective platforms, both Syler and Jenkins not only direct the band, but also watch for heat exhaustion.
"We monitor their faces. More often than not, you can tell that a child's in stress because of how they look. They tend to develop a glassy look in their eyes, and that's the time to get them inside and cool off as fast as possible," Jenkins says.
"Yeah, that happens occasionally. That usually happens in the first few days. People, when we stand at attention, in our marching blocks, they tend to lock their knees and then they're a little woozy so we have to take them over to the side and make them drink water."
Practicing outside for a couple of hours in 100-degree heat can quickly dehydrate the body. That's why Jenkins gives students more water breaks.
"When we have a rehearsal of this length, we have to make sure that we give them very consistent breaks. They have to be within 15 minutes of each other or their bodies will start to overheat," Jenkins says.

Striped bass and hybrid striped bass management in Altamaha River basin lakes, such as Jackson, Oconee, Sinclair, High Falls, Tobesofkee, and Juliette will be discussed at an upcoming public meeting on June 5, hosted by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (WRD).
The Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers combine below the reservoirs mentioned above to form the Altamaha. In 2005, following a plan that received angler support, WRD began phasing in striped bass stockings instead of hybrid striped bass in those reservoirs to help in recovery efforts of the native striped bass population in the Altamaha River.
During the initial stages of striped bass recovery efforts, WRD collected large numbers of hybrid striped bass from the river that were believed to be migrating through dams and traveling downstream. The phasing-in of striped bass in Altamaha basin reservoirs was proposed to help solve the problem of hybrid "escapement" from upstream reservoirs. It was also a goal that the stocking of striped bass would have the additional benefit of providing anglers with a larger fish (over 10 pounds) while helping to restore the striped bass population in the river itself.
At this meeting, WRD biologists will share population information gathered since the transition to stocking striped bass, accept angler input, and review the efforts to date on striped bass recovery efforts in the Altamaha basin.
The meeting will be June 5, 2012 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Georgia Power Company - Plant-Harlee Branch Facility (Assembly Room) in Milledgeville (1100 Milledgeville Road, 31061).
This meeting site is accessible to people with physical disabilities. Requests for additional special needs assistance should be directed to 478-825-6151 no later than May 25, 2012.

Quick question: Can I define some inner product on any arbitrary vector space such that it becomes an inner product space? If yes, how can I prove this? If no, what would be a counter example? Thanks a lot in advance.
How about vector spaces over finite fields? Finite fields don't have an ordered subfield, and thus one cannot meaningfully define a positive-definite inner product on vector spaces over them.
I'm assuming the ground field is ${\mathbb R}$ or ${\mathbb C}$, because otherwise it's not clear what an "inner product space" is.
Now any vector space $X$ over ${\mathbb R}$ or ${\mathbb C}$ has a so-called Hamel basis. This is a family $(e_\iota)_{\iota\in I}$ of vectors $e_\iota\in X$ such that any $x\in X$ can be written uniquely in the form $x=\sum_{\iota\in I} \xi_\iota\ e_\iota$, where only finitely many $\xi_\iota$ are $\ne 0$. Unfortunately you need the axiom of choice to obtain such a basis, if $X$ is not finitely generated.
Defining $\langle x, y\rangle :=\sum_{\iota\in I} \xi_\iota\ \bar\eta_\iota$ gives a bilinear "scalar product" on $X$ such that $\langle x, x\rangle>0$ for any $x\ne0$. Note that in computing $\langle x,y\rangle$ no question of convergence arises.
It follows that $\langle\ ,\ \rangle$ is an inner product on $X$, and adopting the norm $\|x\|^2:=\langle x,x\rangle$ turns $X$ into a metric space in the usual way.
