Hi !
I think I've found what caused my problem and you where true, the echo wasn't the problem.
I don't know why (maybe a copy/paste error between two projects I'm working on), but after my "echo" there was a "die();"... now it explains all ;-)
Sorry to have taken your time away. Rest assured I will report anything (real) I'll found about your ExtDirect, because I'll use it extensively the next weeks in a project I'm starting right now.
Thanks a lot to have taken some time to help me, it definately gave me some advice on my problem !

New version - new features - coming soon!
I thought the cause of your problem could be also something related to the "header" command in ExtDirectController::output... but now you already found the real cause.
I am using this "ExtDirect.php" in a project I am developing right now. More features were recently added! So, soon I will upload a new version.
Basically, three new configuration options were added, all of callback type: "authorization_function", "transform_result_function", and "transform_response_function"
You will be able to specify an "authorization_function", where you can check the user permissions and return true or false accordingly, allowing the API call or not.
With the "transform_result_function", you can modify the result of the API method call after its execution, but before it is sent to the client-side.
Finally, with the "transform_response_function", you can modify the response structure. This allows to fire server-side events! But I am not using this feature for it. I am using it to send extra server side data together with the RPC result.
So... stay tuned!

Great job J! I just implemented this as a test last night, and like it's simplicity.
One question though (which may or may not be specific to your code): I'm planning on using ExtJS's polling functionality soon - is there any way to pass a direct function into a polling provider (a bit like directFn for data stores)?
12 Jul 2010 1:43 PM #24
Nice job on this! My company has a good jump ahead on this from compared to what you have made but you are getting the clear picture.
Unfortunately I can't discuss in public what our company is doing, but if you need/want to chat about anything just shoot me a message.

Hi all,
A word of advice:
This works:
ExtDirect::$form_handlers = array( 'Config::setConfig'); ExtDirect::provide( 'Config' );
ExtDirect::provide( 'Config' ); ExtDirect::$form_handlers = array( 'Config::setConfig');
Great work - I love the form handler shortcut of having parameters automatically defined via the $_POST parameter names. Very slick!
14 Jul 2010 5:58 AM #26
One question about form data: I'm using a checkbox which submits the value "on" if it is selected. However, if it's not selected, nothing gets submitted, and the direct function doesn't seem to run at all. Here's the function being called:
public function setProxiesConfig($proxies_enabled="") { firebird("Proxies enabled = " . $proxies_enabled); $this->setOption("proxies_enabled", $proxies_enabled); $this->saveConfig(); $obj = array( 'success' => true ); return $obj; }
The JSON response was:
But there was no PHP error generated that I can see anywhere (and I've got PHP writting errors to a single log file regardless of which PHP file was running).
Can anyone offer any inspiration to get round this?
Enable the option to only count mandatory parameters:
ExtDirect::$count_only_required_params = true;

Anyone got any thoughts on how to do this within a polled operation?
19 Jul 2010 7:49 AM #28
How to access the returned data?
OK, it's been a long day, I'm just back off my hols, and I'm new to this kind of complex JS, so I can't work this one out.
I've got the extdirect code working absolutely fine. But I'm having problems accessing the returned data FROM OUTSIDE THE EXTDIRECT CALL...
Here's the relevant code:
var plugins = ['plugin1', 'plugin2']; var input="Anyone there? " ; var hook='test'; function executeHook(hook, input) { var output = ""; Ext.php.PluginManager.executeHooks(plugins, hook, input, function(data) { console.info("DEBUG WITHIN FUNCTION: " + data); output = data; }); return output; } console.info("RESULT FROM FUNCTION:" + executeHook(hook, input));
Each plugin simply adds a piece of test to the input, in a chain. So the output should be:
"Anyone there? Hello from core; Hello from plugin 2; Hello from plugin 1; "
However, the console has the two output lines as follows:
"DEBUG WITHIN FUNCTION: Anyone there? Hello from core; Hello from plugin 2; Hello from plugin 1; "
So the variable data is correct within the ExtDirect call, but how do I get access to the data outside the ExtDirect call?
I've also tried:
Ext.php.PluginManager.executeHooks(plugins, hook, input, function(data) { console.info("DEBUG WITHIN FUNCTION: " + data); return data; });
Any ideas?
19 Jul 2010 1:00 PM #29
You must remember that the Ext.Direct calls are asynchronous which means you cannot count on the callback parameter being executed in a linear fashion like the rest of your function code. In your example the function executeHook() calls the Direct method which sets a callback, then it returns output, which is empty until the callback is called. Once the HTTP request initiated by the executeHooks() completes, it then calls your callback and sets the value of output but by then your initial function has returned. You will have to redesign your logic to handle this
19 Jul 2010 3:48 PM #30
Thanks Trii... I came to the same conclusion myself shortly afterwards. I typed that discovery into a post here, but I guess I forgot to press "submit". But thanks anyway - I appreciate your help.
Whilst you and I are here.... I don't suppose you've got any thoughts about how to use this integration in a polling process? I don't have a scooby where to start.

In Orange Trade, Success Never Tasted So Sweet
ORANGE COVE, Calif.—In a small shed nestled in a grove here, Kevin Severns dipped a long, thin instrument into a test tube filled with fresh-squeezed orange juice.
The general manager of a citrus-growing cooperative smiled after getting a reading of the juice's sugar content: "It's off the chart," said the 52-year-old Mr. Severns.
California farmers such Mr. Severns have made a new discovery: Consumers prefer sweeter oranges. The notion, obvious to some fruit connoisseurs, is driving radical changes in the nearly $1.5 billion U.S. market for fresh oranges, as farmers try to reverse years of falling sales and persuade consumers not to switch to other citrus fruit.
A revival in California orange sales could even boost the market for orange juice, which is squeezed mostly from oranges grown in Florida. Orange-juice futures are up 23% this year on the ICE Futures U.S. exchange, but prices have topped out at about $1.50 a pound because of weak demand, traders say.
Rising futures prices this year have been largely attributed to dry weather and disease that have affected output from Florida. But Joe Nikruto, a senior broker at RJO Futures in Chicago, said, "It stands to reason that [stronger orange sales are] going to make orange juice more front-of-mind for consumers."
For the first time in almost 100 years, California, the nation's No. 1 grower of oranges for fresh consumption, has changed regulations that dictate when an orange is ready to be picked. Instead of mandating that the fruit have a specific sugar-to-acid ratio, the focus has turned to the total sugar content, starting with the crop year currently under way.
The change is intended to hook consumers from the first orange they buy. Growers had noticed that, after an uptick in sales at the start of each season, when shoppers embraced the fresh harvest, orders from supermarkets would drop off. The slowdown would force farming cooperatives to idle their washing and sorting machines, which clean oranges in warm, chlorinated baths and separate them according to their color and size.
Not only did this cause backups at the packing plants, it contributed to falling sales overall and forced growers to sell their oranges for a lower price later in the season.
After extensive research on consumers' taste preferences and fruit-buying habits, California farming groups found that those first oranges sold each year were often bland, because they had spent less time ripening on the tree. Dissatisfied consumers often waited weeks before trying another orange, while those that tried a sweet piece of fruit kept coming back for more.
"If a consumer's first orange purchase of the season is delicious and flavorful, they'll buy more with increased frequency," said Russell Mounce, senior merchandise director for produce at Sam's Club, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.40 % 's membership-warehouse chain, which sold 76.8 million pounds of oranges in the year ending June 1. "Consumers are looking for sweeter fruit. Overall, changing the metrics is the right thing to do."
The breakthrough is sparking talks of a revival for the humble orange.
Sales had been sliding for years, as once-exotic tropical fruits such as mangoes and papayas became fixtures in produce aisles across the country, and the popularity of mandarins—which are essentially smaller, sweeter oranges—soared.
Domestic shipments of fresh oranges from California rose 8.4% in the current season through Feb. 1 from the same period a year ago, the latest data available, to 16 million 40-pound cartons, according to industry group California Citrus Mutual.
"What a phenomenal move they made," said Thom Blischok, chief retail strategist at Booz & Co., a consulting firm that works with grocers. "They understood the taste preferences of the American consumer and capitalized on it."
Growers say the uptick in demand is allowing them to charge higher prices: The average wholesale price per carton rose 2.5% from the same period a year ago, to $11.59 a carton.
"I could tell when we were starting to pack fruit, it tasted better than it normally does," said Al Bates, general manager of Sun Pacific, a citrus grower, packer and shipper with more than 20,000 acres in Exeter, Calif. "We received a lot of repeat business right off the bat."
The increase in sales is a welcome boon for the industry, which has lagged behind overall growth in domestic fruit consumption.
Thirty years ago, Americans on average consumed 15 pounds of fresh oranges a year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2012, that was down to 10.7 pounds.
Meanwhile, per-capita consumption of the tangerine category, which includes mandarins and clementines, has more than doubled in the period, eating into the market share held by traditional oranges, such as the navel variety.
U.S. tangerine and mandarin production is expected to reach a record 645,000 metric tons during the current season, the USDA said. Orange production, on the other hand, is expected to ease 2% but will still far outpace mandarins, at eight million metric tons.
Andrew Brown, a citrus grower in Cutler, Calif., planted new mandarin trees this spring. "We're going to hold navel acreage steady," he said. "Any new acreage is going into mandarins."
But the new rules regulating the sweetness of oranges are encouraging some growers to stick with the fruit. Even though mandarins are more profitable, they are more difficult to grow because they are more susceptible to cold weather.
And growers generally only start to make a profit on their orange trees about 20 years after they are planted. According to an estimate from California Citrus Mutual, at least 70% of California's orange groves already turn a profit for their owners.
"Ripping them out at the peak of their value doesn't make any sense," said Joel Nelsen, president of California Citrus Mutual. "If we can sustain the quality of the fruit, and the flavor, we can offset the challenge from the mandarins."
And with a sizable improvement in orange sales thus far this season, growers are hopeful that the new regulations will propel growth for years to come.
"We've had an exceptional tasting [orange], and the market moved very well," Mr. Severns said. "We're putting out better-tasting fruit than we did."

Scott Sonner/Associated Press
RENO, Nev. � Long before Hostess Brands� plan to shut down made Twinkies the rage, Nancy Peppin found something special about the cream-filled snack cakes.
No, she doesn�t have a sweet tooth for them.
But she has featured Twinkies in hundreds of pieces of quirky, satirical artwork because of an obsession with what she calls the �ultimate American food icon.�
The prolific Reno artist says she was first influenced to focus on Twinkies in 1975 by Andy Warhol, who demonstrated that even a Campbell�s soup can could be an object of art.
�He showed you a new way of looking at a familiar object,� said Peppin, who has sold and exhibited her artwork. �That�s what I�m doing with Twinkies. I�m having people look at Twinkies in a brand-new way and in an entertaining way.�
Shortly after Hostess Brands Inc. announced plans to go out of business last year, Peppin was among those who joined the rush to stores to fill shopping carts with boxes of the spongy cakes.
But unlike others, she didn�t buy 12 boxes with 10 Twinkies each to turn a profit on eBay or Craigslist.
�I needed art supplies,� said Peppin, who uses Twinkies and their packaging to create some of her pieces. She also features renderings of the snack cakes in watercolor paintings, mixed media, prints and artwork.
Her works include her �Twinkies in history series,� which portrays how scientists such as John James Audubon, Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci would have sketched and written about Twinkies in journals or books.
Peppin, an Oakland, Calif., native who earned a bachelor�s degree in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1966, conducted extensive research to make the series seem as authentic as possible.
Her Audubon series on the �North American Twinkie (twinkopus hostus)� includes illustrations of three �important subspecies � Cream-bellied Twinkie, Strawberry-throated Twinkie, Golden-backed Twinkie� � as well as writings describing the �birds� and explaining their migration patterns.
�Twinkies radiate out from the spring St. Louis breeding area to the summer nesting habitats throughout the world. Populations are heaviest in the North American 7-11 meridian,� she wrote. St. Louis and 7-Eleven stores share a long history with Hostess and its brands.
She updated the Audubon series after Hostess shut down operations in November: �It went from being the most popular snack cake in the world to sudden extinction due to consumption by raptors � capitalist vultures (cathartes wallstreetidae).�
Her painting titled �The Last Snack� is a takeoff of da Vinci�s �The Last Supper� featuring Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other Hostess products at a table.
Her parody of a �girly� calendar from an auto-body shop features a partially undressed �Miss Twinkie� standing next to her Harley.
The artwork reflects the offbeat sense of humor of a woman who by day creates special-effects animation for Reno-based International Game Technology, one of the world�s largest slot machine makers.
Steven High, executive director of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., said he finds Peppin�s artwork � and use of Twinkies as a metaphor to explore various subjects � clever, humorous and imaginative.
�In some ways, she takes this kind of silly item and treats it as a cultural artifact and imagines it as a subject of scientific studies,� he said. �She�s an excellent illustrator, and the way she pulls these (works) together is amazing. They�re fascinating and draw you in, even though the subject matter is unusual.�
Peppin foresees no end to her obsession. With potential buyers lined up for Hostess brands, she says, Twinkies will survive.
Hostess is expected to announce a bidder for Twinkies and its other snack cakes this month. Other interested parties will be able to make competing offers once the top bid is announced.
�It�ll become a mutation of the species, but it�ll perpetuate the species,� Peppin said. �There are all sorts of history applications that I haven�t exhausted like Twinkies being found in the ruins at Pompeii.�

Some interesting things I found recently:
Wayne and Layne:
One of the unique features of the Nerdle kit is the use of touch-sensitive capacitive-sense buttons, made from copper foil pads inside the case. While meeting with the camp directors to prepare these activities, we decided to try linking the raw information from the capacitive sensors to the on-board piezo speaker.
We added two lines of code, uploaded, and jaws dropped. It sounded like the computers of the future were supposed to sound.
# Deep Synthesis Made Free, Easy: QuteCsound
Peter Kirn at Create Digital Music writes:
In this guest column, we turn to veteran synthesist and music tech expert Jim Aikin. When Jim wants to do digital synthesis, one of the tools to which he turns is a veritable favorite with a direct-line legacy to the beginnings of computer sound. That doesn't mean Csound hasn't kept with the times, though, or that it has to be unfriendly. If you've been looking for a way to dive into sound and code, this could be an ideal path.
The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ.
All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys, pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms them into MIDI signals. Those are then parsed by a second microcontroller, which acts as a synthesizer.
# Interview: Jordan Rudess and Morphwiz
From Sonic State:
The Morphwiz app from Jordan Rudess takes the concept of the Hakan Continuum – which Jordan was also involved with, and applies it to the touchscreen of the iPhone/iPad to create a totally new instrument, while adding some trippy visuals, effects and a healthy synth engine. Dream Theatre are currently on tour with Iron Maiden in the US, we caught up with Jordan the morning after the night before at his hotel while on the road. He gives us an insight into the features and thinking behind the app.
# :: soundcloud dj player 1.0 beta
Musikame has a beta of the souncloud dj player, the easiest way to dj your soundcloud tracks, allowing you to mix tracks from SoundCloud.
At this stage all the mixing is done automatically by the app itself: the user just picks the tracks and the length of the crossfade between them. While it's not actually possible to beat-match tracks as yet, the software does have pitch control with adjustable range, FX, looping and reverse capabilities, hinting at more advanced functionality in the future.

Chris Randall shares details on the number of plays and sales of his latest Micronaut EP "Resistor", which was released as a pay-what-you-like download.
As promised, here's some initial numbers for Resistor, the EP I put out on Bandcamp last week. (If you're just joining us, scroll back a couple posts for the full skinny.)

# CDM: Griid, iPad Ableton Controller
Create Digital Music has some exclusive photos of Griid, the controller for iPad that offers four fluid ways to navigate clips in your Ableton Live set.
Peter Kirn writes:
The developers of Griid, the Ableton Live controller on iPad created in association with Richie Hawtin, have shared photos and screen captures early with CDM to give us a look at the upcoming app. Just over a decade after its original inception, Ableton Live itself remains a ground-breaking user interface design. Love it or hate it, it's a benchmark in thinking about how music apps might look.
Griid is compelling in part because it re-imagines how that central Session View and clip launching might work, now in the context of a touch tablet. Personally, I like the results. As on the Lemur, bold, saturated colors and contrast on a black background are central, of course. It's also nice to see extraneous visual information removed. And for anyone with epic-sized sets of clips in Live, you'll like the massive overview.

Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) rocks this mock bedtime story, capturing a hilarious range of emotions as the voice of a father struggling to get his child to sleep.
Go the F--k to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbach's profane, affectionate, and radically honest verses perfectly capture the familiar - and unspoken - tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, he opens up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.
Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the F**k to Sleep is a book for parents new, old, and expectant. Due to its explicit language, you probably should not play it for your children.
Feel free to share the link to this page with tired parents and other people who could use a good swear and a laugh.
©2011 Adam Mansbach. Cover Illustration © 2011 Ricardo Cortes. (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Total genius." (Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn, father of two)
"A children's book for grown-ups! I really did laugh out loud - hilarious!" (David Byrne, musician, father of one)
"Finally, someone tells it like it really is. This is no-guilt funny and a godsend!" (Cristina Garcia, author of The Lady Matador's Hotel, mother of one)
"The viral phenomenon comes to audio in this clever adaptation of Mansbach's "children's book for adults." NOT a family-friendly listen, this audio will have you giggling and looking around to see if anyone else heard what just came through the speakers. Samuel L. Jackson, known for his foul-mouthed onscreen characters to begin with, is a perfect choice for such a lovingly irreverent audiobook. The desperation in his voice rises as the child, who is the object of the parental pleading, refuses to cooperate. By the end, both seasoned and expectant parents will be alternating between laughing and cringing at the exasperation in Jackson's tongue-in-cheek narration. The production begins with a casual introduction from Jackson, which appears to act as an apology for what's to come, as if Jackson (and author, producers, etc.) wants to assure the listener not to worry—despite everything, we DO love our children very much. Even when they refuse to go the f--k to sleep." (AudioFile)
But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Read the F--king REVIEW!"
Before I heard Samuel L. Jackson read this post-modern self-help book in his deep, authoritative, GOD-like voice, I had: restless leg syndrome, sleep apnoea, delayed sleep phase syndrome, parasomnias, night terrors, nocturia, caffeine induced insomnia and somniphobia. After listening to this self-help book, I turned over, told my leg to "chill out motherf--ker" and went the f--k to sleep.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
Any parent with a shred of a sense of humor will find this book to be a veritable hoot. Being narrated by Sam Jackson; priceless.
"The perfect narrator for this book!"
I don't think there could be a better narrator for this book, and Samuel L. Jackson does an excellent job!
"Perfect for anyone who has ever had children."
I always knew about Audible and thought "someday I would get an account". The idea of this book read by this narrator pushed me over the edge. And it was everything I had expected.
Jackson's exasperated style expressing Mansbach's frustration could not more perfectly, or more humorously, capture that delicate, priceless moment in a parent's life when one fully grasps the phrase "parental responsibility".
"If you've ever read a child to sleep - beautiful!"
OMG. My son is 23 now, and I just played this for him ... can't wait until he has one of his own! I just about wet myself when Samuel got to the movie & popcorn bit ... can't believe how many times that actually happened. And, admit it or not, this is EXACTLY what goes thru your head while you're reading (and reading, and reading, and reading...) your child -- the f@%k to sleep. Couldn't have chosen better than Samuel Jackson! (Love you Sam!)This if f%$king BEAUTIFUL!
I'm on my 315th audiobook since 2007. I only discovered Audible in 2010 and I find it's a great way to manage my audiobook budget.
"Worth it for Free! Not for Children."
I'm pretty sure that my Dad had these same thoughts running through his head when I was little and wanted that one last story, the last drink of water, one more trip to the potty. However, I hope to God that no little kid ever has to actually hear this. It's funny for adults, but definitely should be R Rated. I got it because it was free. Free was worth it.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"A book only a parent can appreciate"
The actual book with its illustrations is wonderful, but on balance the audiobook is even better. The perfect emotional narration demonstrating the frustration of parents by Samuel L Jackson is the reason. Our three children are now parents in their 40s, so I have had the pleasure of observing them being exposed to the same frustrations they caused my wife and me. Life as a grandparent is wonderful!
"Perfect Narration."
Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect person for narrating this story that every parent has lived. Definitely worth a listen.
"A Parent's Bed Time Story"
This is hysterical and what a perfect narrator SLJ is! My child is just about one, but this story lets me know what I am in for once he starts talking!
Master of Random Skills
"This is perfect."
The only thing that could make this awesome book better would be a great narration. Samuel L Jackson delivers in spades.

Not sure where it came from, but many people tend to say Yisbarach after the Amen Yehei Shmei Rabbah verse. Where did this come from? Is this correct?

Here's how it works:

The question should be the other way around. The Mechaber (O.C. 56:3) says it is forbidden for the answerer to interrupt between almaya and yisbarach.
The Magen Avraham writes that the implication of the Bais Yosef is like Gershon wrote, but sides with the old custom of stopping given the importance of listening to the chazan specifically.
Our minhag is like the GRA to only go up to almaya to get 28 letters, not necessarily because yisbarach is separate. Although our nusach which has yishtabach with a vav seems to indicate that yisbarach is separate.

Hi Hanna,
No more Little guy in the forecast page design... We may try to work the little guy in, because he does seem to be missed poorly, but we'll see.
aw, that's too bad - i liked that guy. in fact, i've seen him out in the water in CB several times. he's kind of a loner, rides a longboard, sits on the outside and waits for the sets. but when he's got bars, everybody loves him.:cool:
i literally said to myself "no more little guy?" and then saw this thread. i am all for progression and updating, but i think many swellinfo users are missing the little guy.
on a somewhat related note; i say work the little guy back in strictly for the sake of those who love the him the most... those that bought the tee shirt :p:p
The lil guys name is clyde. Bring Clyde back, bring clyde back!
YES!!! thanks swellinfo!
because a surf forecast from the little guy with three bars just looks a lot more promising than "3+ ft"...

5 Reasons to Be Terrified That Computers Can Now Read Faces
The ability of computers to recognize faces is so common now that your Xbox Kinect can do it, logging you in the moment you step in front of the thing. It seems like a fairly harmless invention -- if anything, it will save you a few seconds when (for instance) your future house will recognize that it's you at the door instead of a burglar. But this technology is going in a series of extremely creepy directions.
Recognizing you is just the beginning -- the goal is to create software that can all but read your goddamned mind. Don't believe us? Because the technology exists so that ...
#5. Your Employer (and Everyone Else) Can Constantly Monitor Your Mood
If you've ever worked in customer service, you know that you're expected to smile, even if you're having a really shitty day. But it's OK, you can just fake it, right? Not anymore! Thanks to miraculous advancements in computers' ability to read your face, there is software out there that can tell if your toothy grin is genuine or not. It's already being used -- in Japan, railway staff are now required to check their smile every morning with a Smile Scan.
No, that is not a hoax article, as far as we can tell. In a scene that would have seemed unrealistic in a sci-fi movie about a dystopian corporate future, employees must sit in front of a camera and let a computer program scan their expression and tell them whether their smile is smiley enough or if it needs work. Presumably a bad score earns them a severe electric shock.
Please think it's real, please think it's real, please think it's real ...
Not that you'll be able to escape this when you leave your customer service job. Want to know if your date was really enjoying herself the other night? You can upload a picture of your outing on GladorSad.com and they'll analyze it for you and tell you if she was secretly hoping that a meteor would strike the restaurant.
And of course companies are already trying to brainstorm ways to use this technology to sell you things. Microsoft is even thinking about programming the next generation of Kinect cameras to watch you in your own home and detect your mood. With this information, they can run targeted advertisements based on how it thinks you're feeling.
He's playing Kinect Star Wars! Quick, cue up a Zoloft commercial!
But all of this is just scratching the surface of the "computers know what you're feeling and thinking at all times" revolution. For instance, researchers at MIT are developing software that can read the emotions of whole crowds. They expect to be able to get information from sporting events, speeches and movie screenings to see how the masses really feel, and there's speculation that it may eventually replace opinion polls. Don't see the problem with that? Well, one of the fears concerning this technology is that, no kidding, dictators could use it to determine which portions of the population don't like them, thereby pre-emptively crushing rebellions. Yes, we've actually invented technology to detect thought crimes.
#4. Software Will Monitor Whether You're Paying Attention
So now they've got the technology to make sure customer service workers are keeping a smile frozen on their face every second of the day. But what about those of us in regular old desk jobs? What employers really need is a robot supervisor that can lurk over our shoulders, making sure we're 100 percent invested in our task at all times, every day. They've totally got it.
Again, there are sensible applications of this technology -- car manufacturer Saab has started installing cameras in their vehicles that watch your eyes while you drive -- if you blink too much, or look at something that isn't directly in front of you, an alarm sounds and tells you to get your shit together and pay attention. Well, that sounds helpful -- it'll be nice to know that the guy in the oncoming lane is watching the road instead of drifting off to sleep or texting his girlfriend. But, of course, it doesn't stop there.
It'll also tell you when you've died!
For instance, do you tend to let your attention drift during class? New technology being developed for educators can watch you in the classroom and read your expression and posture to detect whether you're bored or not paying enough attention. In the future, lecturers might be able to call you out in class for letting your mind wander, or your boss might be able to detect how often your eyes roam away from his PowerPoint presentation.
How long until every cubicle has one of these cameras at the workstation, printing out a report at the end of the day showing down to the decimal point what percentage of the time wasn't focused intently on your screen? But you've never had an off day at work, right? Never gotten sleepy at around two in the afternoon? And you surely haven't developed a series of techniques to merely appear busy when the boss walks by. Because if so, you'd better prepare for the era of total workplace transparency.
"Yeah, you like it when mama grabs your big hard- oh hey, Mr. Hamill! Just talking to a customer."
But that really just leads to the larger point ...
#3. You'll Soon Be Hooked to a Lie Detector, 24/7
Remember that TV show about the genius played by Tim Roth who would always tell if somebody was lying by studying microscopic movements of their face? That was partly based on science -- there are some facial muscles you can't consciously control, which can betray your true feelings when you're telling a lie. In reality, it's almost impossible for another person to detect them ... but they're developing facial recognition software that can.
Of course, the goal right now is to catch criminals -- in Russia, they're putting out ATMs that use voice and facial cues to determine your identity and tell if you're being deceptive about your credit card application. And in England, they're experimenting with new security cameras at airports that watch your face while you talk, looking for any hint of duplicity. How good are these machines at reading human emotions? Recent tests put the best algorithms at 82.5 percent accuracy. That's a better rate than trained human interrogators.
"I know you're actually a 70-year-old Italian man! Admit it! ADMIT IT!"
Well, great, who wants a world with more credit fraud or people at the airport lying about having a bomb? Wouldn't a world where everybody tells the truth all the time be some kind of Utopia?
Sure, as long as you have absolutely no secrets you want to keep from anyone, anywhere, ever -- nothing about your personal life, your political beliefs, your sexuality, your past, or anything else. How many of us can even get through one afternoon without telling a harmless lie? Can you imagine if your computer knew whether you actually did read and agree with all the terms and conditions? Imagine if managers had a camera that could detect little deceits during a job interview. Are we being cynical when we say that tiny little lies are kind of the glue that holds all of society together? And that whoever owns instant lie detection software immediately holds all of the power in every possible situation?
Get used to doing a lot of this.
Hell, there are already dating websites that match you with potential mates by your facial characteristics. Can you imagine if they could also tell whether you were lying? If we took lying out of the dating process, we're pretty sure the human race would go extinct. But that just brings us to our next point ...

The Color of Lightning (Paperback)
In 1863, as the War Between the States creeps inevitably toward its bloody conclusion, former Kentucky slave Britt Johnson ventures west into unknown territory with his wife, Mary, and their three children, searching for a life and a future. But their dreams are abruptly shattered by a brutal Indian raid upon the Johnsons' settlement while Britt is away establishing a business. Returning to find his friends and neighbors slain or captured, his eldest son dead, his beloved and severely damaged Mary enslaved, and his remaining children absorbed into an alien society that will never relinquish its hold on them, the heartsick freedman vows not to rest until his family is whole again.
A soaring work of the imagination based on oral histories of the post-Civil War years in North Texas, Paulette Jiles's The Color of Lightning is at once an intimate look into the hearts and hopes of tragically flawed human beings and a courageous reexamination of a dark American history.

Marilyn Manson collapses video: Saskatoon Canada concert scare after rocker collapses on stage
Marilyn Manson gave fans in Saskatoon, Canada, a scare on Wednesday when he collapsed on stage during a performance.
The rocker was reportedly in the middle of singing "The Beautiful People" as an encore when he dropped to floor of the stage.
After his band figured out Manson wasn't turning up the theatrics for the audience's sake, Billboard reports, everyone stopped playing and moved to help him. He was eventually taken of offstage.
A rep for Manson confirms to CNN that the singer did indeed "vomit on stage last night - but he is OK."
As it turns out, Manson is "recuperating from the flu, and [the] tour goes on as scheduled tomorrow night [February 8] in Calgary."

I'm looking for some advice how to get started with Logic programming, and I am really enjoying working through the Scheme book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs." Is there a similar book that is geared toward Prolog? Or, if there is a better language to study than Prolog for Logic programming I am interested in hearing your opinions on that as well.

Scheme and Functional programming is to "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" as Prolog and Logic programming is to what book? [closed]
closed as off-topic by gnat, MichaelT, GlenH7, Kilian Foth, Dan Pichelman Sep 24 '13 at 14:15
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
"The Art Of Prolog" by Leon Sterling & Ehud Shapiro is one of the best books about computer programming I've ever read.
Prolog and The Art of Prolog are hard to beat in this regard.
A possible alternative - being a bit closer in theme and technique to Scheme/SiCP than to Prolog/Art of Prolog - is Mozart/Oz with the the book Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming.
Apart from Oz other alternative languages to Prolog are Curry which sits right between Haskell and Prolog and AliceML which is basically a ML variant of Oz (and could be used as such with above mentioned CTM). Curry has AFAIK no equivalent introductory text.
A Prolog book I like a lot is the one by Richard O'Keefe, The Craft of Prolog. It is out of print, so try for a library copy. If you find it useful as a reference text, Amazon usually has used copies for sale.
Edit: Actually it seems only the hardback edition is out of print, and Amazon has some new paperback copies for sale.

CADIZ - All Harrison Central could do was take care of its business on the field and then wait to see how things unfolded across the state. The Huskies certainly took care of business in the team's season finale by defeating Buckeye Local 49-6 Friday in Cadiz.
"This is the most focused we came out for a game since the Martins Ferry game," Harrison Central head coach Justin Kropka said. "I think it really hit home to them when they walked on the field in pregame that this would be it. They were focused, and we were sharp on both sides of the ball."
The one-sided affair was over by halftime once Harrison Central built a commanding 30-0 advantage.

IN THE AIR — Harrison Central quarterback Rashaen Mitchell tries to avoid Buckeye Local's Shane Duncan during Friday's 49-6 win by the Huskies, which clinched a playoff spot.

TAKING THE TROPHY HOME — Harrison?Central seniors, from left, Maurtice Hython, Nick?Pelegreen and Rashaen Mitchell pose with the VALES?trophy after Friday's 49-6 home win over Buckeye Local.
After the Huskies forced Buckeye Local into an opening series three-and-out, Harrison Central's running game set the tone. Tailback Maurtice Hython ran the ball nine times with only one pass - which resulted in pass interference - sandwiched between those carries. Hython racked up 55 yards until the Huskies were on their 23-yard line. Harrison Central took advantage of a Buckeye Local defense which was concentrating on Hython. Kropka called a zone read, and quarterback Rashaen Mitchell bounced the ball to the outside and glided 23 yards into the endzone. A Rafael Teixiera extra point conversion gave Harrison Central quick 7-0 lead.
Buckeye Local responded with another three-and-out on its next two offensive series. Harrison Central harassed the Panthers offense throughout the contest.
"We always want to take away the run first," Kropka said. "And we've been able to do that all year. We really didn't run anything special. We played our base defense most of the night."

The first quarter clock was ticking down, and Harrison Central had the football. Mitchell completed a long 65-yard pass to Dalton Rutter as time ran off the clock for the end of the quarter. Harrison Central was set up nicely at the three-yard line as the second quarter began. Hython capitalized by bulling his way into the endzone to extend the Huskies lead 14-0.
Hython carried the ball 18 times for 91 yards in the first half. He finished with 147 yard on 22 carries.
"That Hython is the real deal," Buckeye Local head coach Phil Pest complimented. "They are a very good football. They have a very good quarterback. I really think they could have passed a lot more if they wanted to."
Mitchell again exploited Buckeye Local's porous defense the following series. The Huskies methodically marched down the football field. A 31-scamper by Niko Williams put the team on the five-yard line. Mitchell employed a zone read where he held the football and tiptoed into the endzone for his second rushing touchdown of the evening. Harrison Central led 21-0 with 5:18 before halftime.
Buckeye's Local mistakes started to pile up on the ensuing kickoff. Harrison Central's squib kick landed in no man's land, and the Panthers' Andy Marshall had to scramble to pick it up the football. Marshall tried to make something out of nothing. Unfortunately, all Marshall could do was backpedal to the 10-yard line, while Harrison Central stripped the football. A mass of humanity covered the ball with a Buckeye Local player under the pile with the pigskin. The safety gave Harrison Central a 23-0 advantage.
Harrison Central's final score of the half would come on the ensuing possession. The Huskies had prime field position after the safety punt at the 42-yard line. Hython rumbled over and through the Panthers' defense for a 23-yard gain to place the Huskies on the four-yard line. Harrison Central decided not to pound the football in this instance. Mitchell, instead, threw an easy pass to a wide open Dalton Rutter in the left corner of the endzone for the aforementioned 30-0 halftime lead.
Harrison Central added scores from Fletcher Watt, Terrance Lindsey and Austyn Porter in the second half.
Buckeye Local's only score came on a 79-yard kickoff return by Austin Marshall. Marshall was one of 20 Panther seniors that played their final game Friday.
"We are really going to miss (Brian) Zeroski, (Shane) Duncan, Marshall and (Nathan) Kirk and all of our seniors," Pest said. "We had kids that played hurt all year for us. We played with a lot of injuries.
"We started out the year well. Our kids did the things that had to do to win early, but then the injury bug hit and it just got a lot tougher for us right when we got into the tough part of our schedule."
While the final chapter has been written to Buckeye Local's 4-6 season, Harrison Central (7-3) is positioned for a potential playoff run.
'"The most important factor for us all week was to make sure these seniors left this field winners their last time out," Kropka stated. "Things are going to happen that are out of our control. We'll see how that all plays out.
"I couldn't be more proud of our senior group. I'll say this. If this is our last game together, I'll miss this group a ton.
"If there is a next step, we'll get up and play whoever we're supposed to play.
"When you get into the post season, you're playing with other people's money. We'll play whoever they give us."

Russian National Ballethas anyone seen them?
Posted 27 September 2003 - 04:44 AM
Their artistic director is Sergei Radchenko.
The current tour is....... the Nutcracker.
(I know, I know; but most of the kids I teach have NEVER seen a ballet before)
((besides, I still love it, even after all these years.))
I cannot tell from the info if they dance to live music or canned. (there is no mention of an orchestra)
I am assuming not live.
They are on tour in central Europe this autumn/winter, and there is a possibility to order bunches of tickets for ballet schools and the like; but I am a bit wary as I have not heard of them before and do not want to take kids to see something which may even turn them _off_ of more than on to ballet.
Posted 27 September 2003 - 07:47 AM
The reports I got were mixed -- what you'd expect from a company that spends much of its life on the road, with dancers of a variety of ages, technical ability, etc. Yet both of my friends who saw it enjoyed it. It was a few years ago now, so I can't remember details (I'm sorry) but you might turn up something on them on Google.
I"m sure it was canned music here. If you're taking kids who've never seen the ballet, unless you're dragging them kicking and screaming because they think it's dumb and they'd rather be skate boarding, or whatever active children do there, my best guess is that it's safe. (please don't hate me if I'm wrong! )
Posted 27 September 2003 - 11:48 PM
Of course I won't hate you if you are wrong!
Thank you very much for your information.
I am just trying to be careful, as there are so many touring companies around, and I have heard such horror-stories about some.
It is sad that, although nearly every mid-sized city over here has their own opera, acting-dept., orchestra and ballet/dance group, only a very few do classical ballet anymore.
It is probably just too expensive.
Thanks again.

Posted 18 October 2003 - 04:54 AM
I shall not be able to go after all; conflicts of rehearsals and the like... but I still want to know for _next_ time around.
Posted 19 October 2003 - 02:28 AM
Posted 19 March 2004 - 07:59 PM
It was an enjoyable evening and they did a lovely job considering the difficulty of touring and adjusting to different stages all the time.
Posted 20 March 2004 - 03:31 AM
Unfortunately I found the 1st and 2nd Acts to be the worst of a professional company I have ever seen. With my Russian background, it was an embarassment for me with my students sitting there, some seeing their very first Swan Lake. I walked out. Cannot tell you about the rest.
When I lived in St. Petersburg, I did have the opportunity to see the various companies (again always changing names) directed by Radchenko. Although the productions where not of the quality of Mariinski or Bolshoi, I never walked out. The dancers were decent, the production qualities were also very nice and of course beautiful theatres always do help. In the Swan Lake I so last week, I could not say any of this!
Sorry for the opposing view, but I just thought perhaps others might like to hear there are some of us who will never go to another Radchenko production! :angry:
Posted 20 March 2004 - 07:57 AM
My bigger concern is the Theater Manager walking around and seeing the crowd that was there. I'd like more classical dance to be available in our area but now I'm worried that he'll bring them back to do a Nut and hurt the three regional companies that are fighting for an audience for the same 2-3 week time frame in December.
My hope would be that last nights performance build an interest in dance and send more children into the local ballet schools.

Posted 12 January 2006 - 06:00 PM
There will be elements (perhaps a dancer, a short section, a musical phrase something that you cannot anticipate) that will be beautiful. And that you will remember for a long time.
Some of the provincial Swan Lakes and Giselles I saw when very young gave me a familiarity with the material and an admiration for many kinds of dancers. Although I didn't know it at the time, they helped train my eye. I was very grateful for these experiences later on when I had the opportunity to attend first-rate productions with great dancers.
These performances exist serve an important function and exist outside the ordianry parameters of ballet criticism.
On the OTHER hand (and there always is an other hand), I wonder about photo of Siegfred leaping, taken from one of today's LINKS. I can't imagine why they considered this a good advertisement for the purity of the dancing.

I need FTP client that allow me to move files in the server easily. I want to have side by side 2 server locations. In Filezilla for example I can see local & remote. I want remote & remote (in different folders).
Is there free windows ftp gui client that enable 2 remote locations side by side, instead of local+remote? [closed]

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Having remote and remote means that your FileZilla will also need to be run remotely.
The whole point of FileZilla is that it allows for large transfer of files from the system you're on, onto your server.
So if you want to transfer between servers, then you should run an instance of FileZilla on 1 of the servers itself and then do 'remote + remote".

how can I change the default applications showed when I open unity. At the moment it's Chromium, OpenShot, Thunderbird and Banshee. I'd like to replace the Banshee starter with a customized icon and command. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10
Thank you!
For a customized command & icon you'd need to create a custom .desktop & preferably place in a typical applications dir. like ~/.local/share/applications ; /usr/local/share/applications ; /usr/share/applications, (i'd use the 1st one
The Exec= line for your command, the Icon= line for the icon
You could try including in the .desktop a line like this, may help your .desktop show up in System Settings > System Info > Default applicatons > Music
If it doesn't, no matter. Open ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list & in the [Default Applications] section create or edit this line, using the name of your custom.desktop
I found the solution. Open the terminal and install gnome panel:
Then you can run the item editor:
I can't check if this is exactly the right command because I've lost my password but it should work.
