During its May 2011 meeting in Angola, Indiana, the LMCMP reported to the Commission regarding plans for the Indiana Lake Michigan Underwater Archaeological Resources Project.
In April 2009, the Lake Michigan Coastal Management Program ("LMCMP") introduced concepts for the Underwater Archaeology Management Plan to the Advisory Council. A slide presentation was included.
On June 11, 2011, Indiana Dunes State Park commemorated the tragedy of the sinking 100 years ago of the JD Marshall. Four men died, and the boat remains offshore from the Park pavilion, where the propeller is on display. The commemoration included a talk by Gene Hasiak of the Underwater Archaeological Society of Chicago.

Can sharpening a knife be done as a form of Ne'itzah for removing a Kelipah for Kashruth concerns?

Sharpening is the way mentioned in the mishnah in Avodah Zarah daf עה: 'ayin-heh, second side of the blatt. (=page 150) Look it up in TUR Yoreh De'ah 121 קכ"א
The end of the siman is dealing exactly with your question. The Beit Yoseph, who later wrote the Shulchan 'Aruch brings a lot of sources. Sharpening is also mentioned.
Please note that there used to be a major difference between small knives and big knives. Big knives were made from primitive steel (not stainless steel like today) and were always full of holes. The simplest way of cleaning a knife in those days, in the absence of soap, was to stick the knife in the ground where the earth was hard (usually a place where people walked) ten times (only three times according to a Yerushalmi.) This would wipe the knife but would not remove the food stuck inside the holes in the knife. In such a case the once-treif knife could only be used to cut COLD foods. Only heating the knife to a very high temperature could burn out food left inside the blade.

Rory, Tiger and the Year in Golf
Great Comebacks, Stunning Meltdowns, New Rules—Highlights of 2012. Plus Predictions
The Year of the Rory. For McIlroy, five victories world-wide, including the PGA Championship, back-to-back wins in the FedEx FDX 0.28 % Cup Playoffs and a clutch late-season pickup in Dubai to snatch the European Tour money title. He took the PGA Tour money title, too, and swept player-of-the-year honors. That's not all: The 23-year-old Northern Irelander and his tennis superstar girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki report via Twitter that the romance is going very well. McIlroy slumped midyear, missing four cuts in five tournaments, which means he still has lots of room for improvement. Perhaps the best thing is that he proved, in interview after interview, that you don't have to be evasive, chilling and monomaniacal to be the world's dominant No. 1 golfer.
Tiger 3.0. If Tiger Woods in his prime, through 2009, was version 1.0 and the post-fire-hydrant stretch was version 2.0 (a mess), 2012 may have begun to define the version that will round out his career. With three PGA Tour wins and some spectacular runs, including an amazing flop-shot hole-out during his birdie-birdie-par-birdie finish to win the Memorial at Muirfield, Woods proved that he's not done. He is ranked third in the world. Unlike Tiger 1.0, however, he disappeared after being in or near the halfway lead at three majors in 2012 (all but the Masters) and generally looked—dare we acknowledge it—like any other merely mortal great. Woods turns 37 this month and may yet make a run on Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 majors (Woods is at 14). But his story now is a human one, no longer the story of a phenom.
Shots of the year. The top shot, no question, was Bubba Watson's crazy hooking wedge from the woods on the second playoff hole at the Masters. From 156 yards, off pine straw, he dipsy-doodled his ball to 20 feet from the pin and two-putted to beat Louis Oosthuizen. Oosthuizen's double eagle a few hours before ranks second, and first in travel time—his 253-yard, four-iron second shot on Augusta National's par-five second took 22 seconds to reach the green and trickle slowly, slowly along the contours and into the cup.
Comeback of the year. The European Ryder Cup team won eight of 12 singles matches on Sunday, Sept. 30, and halved another, to gobsmack a U.S. team confident of victory at Medinah. Ian Poulter, 4-0 for the Euros, made five straight birdies at the end of his and McIlroy's Saturday match to beat Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson and spark the momentum for Sunday. For thrills and emotion, there was nothing like it in 2012, no matter which side you rooted for.
Woe is I.K. Kim. She missed a 1-foot putt—12 inches—on the final green at the Kraft Nabisco, one of the four women's majors, to force a playoff. Which she lost, to Sun Young Yoo, on the first hole.
Woer still is Jim Furyk. The veteran bogeyed three of the last six holes at the U.S. Open at Olympic Club in San Francisco to blow a two-shot lead. Six weeks later, from the fairway, he double-bogeyed the final hole at the Bridgestone to hand the tournament to a charging Keegan Bradley. At the Ryder Cup, Furyk, known for his grittiness in the clutch, bogeyed the final two holes on Sunday to lose to Sergio Garcia, one down. "Golf is a cruel game," Furyk said.
But others won in amazing ways. Kyle Stanley, after triple-bogeying the final hole at the Farmers in January to blow a five-shot lead at the start of the day, came from seven strokes back the next week to win at Phoenix. Rickie Fowler notched his first Tour win by knocking his approach shot to 4 feet on the first playoff hole to beat McIlroy and D.A. Points at the Wells Fargo. WFC -0.33 % Tommy Gainey shot 60 in the final round to win the McGladrey at Sea Island. Charlie Beljan survived a panic attack (sitting down in the fairway) while shooting a second-round 64 and held on to win the Disney DIS 0.04 % and barely keep his Tour card.
Fanfare for the common pro. Roger Chapman, 53, an unheralded player from England with one career win on the European Tour, won both the Senior PGA Championship and the U.S. Senior Open. From nowhere, he finished fourth in the Champions Tour's Schwab Cup race, behind No. 1 Tom Lehman, Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples.
Youth movement. Tianlang Guan, a 14-year-old from China, won the Asia-Pacific Amateur to earn a spot in next year's Masters. Lydia Ko, 15, won the U.S. Women's Amateur and the LPGA's CN Canadian Women's Open. Beau Hossler, a 17-year-old high-school junior, contended through three rounds at the U.S. Open.
Women in green jackets. It's great that Augusta National announced its first women members this summer, but the only ones for whom that really required courage are the initiates themselves, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore. Like Ginger Rogers, who had to do everything her dance partner Fred Astaire did except backward in heels, they are the ones who fill face endless dumb questions and a week of pitiless gawking when they model their new threads during the Masters in April.
Our dynamic institutions. The PGA Tour eliminated Q School as a direct means to earn a Tour card and rejiggered the schedule so that the 2014 season will begin in the fall of 2013. On the other side of the pond, the R&A decided to make changes to nine holes on the treasured Old Course at St. Andrews, but the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews didn't change its policy forbidding women as members. It should have been the other way around.
Anchors away. The ship has sailed on the November decision by the U.S. Golf Association and the R&A to ban anchored putting, but there could still be stormy seas ahead. The rule goes into effect in 2016, but if the PGA Tour senses that fans regard pros who continue to legally anchor putt in the meantime as quasi-cheaters, it could decide to move up Tour implementation for the 2014 season. Other pro tours would likely do the same, with who knows what effect on amateur play.
Bold predictions for 2013. Keegan Bradley, golf's most intense competitor, and Dufner, who was as hot last spring as McIlroy was this fall, will become golf's premier rivalry. Ernie Els will back up his 2012 British Open win with another major.

Can someone please explain the set-user-ID mechanism in Unix ? What was the rationale behind this design decision? How is it different from effective user id mechanism ?
You might know the normal read, write and execute permissions for files in unix.
However, in many applications, this type of permission structure--e.g. giving a given user either full permission to read a given file, or no permission at all to read the file--is too coarse. For this reason, Unix includes another permission bit, the
To set the set-user-ID bit for a file, type
Make sure that you have set group-other execute permission too; it would be nice to have group-other read permission as well. All of this can be done with the single statement
It is also referred to as Saved UID. A file that is launched that has a Set-UID bit on, the saved UID will be the UID of the owner of the file. Otherwise, saved UID will be the Real UID.
What is effective uid ?
This UID is used to evaluate privileges of the process to perform a particular action. EUID can be changed either to Real UID, or Superuser UID if EUID!=0. If EUID=0, it can be changed to anything.
An example of such program is
Rather than calling "set UID" and "effective UID" a mechanism, the whole concept of UIDs should be called that. The rationale for existence of the various UIDs are various troubles with privilege separation. Even regular (unprivileged) users sometimes need to do things (access resources) that only privileged users can. To achieve this easily, programs can change their UIDs. There are 3 types of these:
The need for the last one arises from the fact, that regular users can only switch between these three and nothing else and a setuid program usually needs to know somehow, who was the user who loaded it (plus the real UID should not be changed since that would create even bigger mess).
mtk's expalanation is a good one.
Another rationale is to protect the user in the same manner as you might use
Note that it is possible to set uid programmatically even if the suid bit is not set on the executable, however, that will not work for escalation. Ie., if you are a normal user and write a program that sets uid at some point itself, that program cannot switch to root. Apache works this way, I believe. It is usually started by root and has one process that then forks children which switch uid to a non-privelleged user (eg, "httpd"). Those child processes are what do the actual web server work.

What filesystems are supported for SD cards?
June 09, 2010, 10:15:17 PM »
What filesystems are supported for SD cards plugged into the SDIO port of a SheevaPlug?
I've had a plug for several months serving light duty as a Linux machine for experimentation, with the Ubuntu 9.04 image. It has worked well, so I recently got another. For the new one I installed Debian, using file from:
Submitted On: 10 Sep 2009
Submitted By: Jeff Lagman (jlagman)
File Date: 08 Sep 2009
File Version: 1.0.0
sheevaplug-installer-v1.0.tar.gz [MD5: 2ab9f45091232f7d998f0278bef2b751]
I couldn't get the "installer-debian-lenny" image to apply, so I tried "installer-debian-squeeze", and it finished with no problem. After updating:
- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade
the plug OS is (mostly) up to date.
debian:~# uname -r
Next I go buy an 8GB SD card:
SanDisk - 8GB Secure Digital High Capacity Memory Card
After inserting it in the SD port, I note the filesystem entry corresponding to the card.
debian:~# ls -la /dev/mmcblk0
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 179, 0 Jun 9 04:28 /dev/mmcblk0
From the various forum discussions, I gather that the card needs to be formatted and mounted.
debian:~# mkfs.
mkfs.bfs mkfs.ext3 mkfs.jffs2 mkfs.ubifs
mkfs.cramfs mkfs.ext4 mkfs.minix mkfs.vfat
mkfs.ext2 mkfs.ext4dev mkfs.msdos
Lots of file system options, so I look around to see what filesystem is appropriate. It seems many recommend ubifs for its flash orientation. So I attempt to create the filesystem. After a few tries, and various problems, I use fdisk to split the card into an extended partition with two 4 GB volumes. After some trial and error, I arrive at:
debian:~# mkfs.ubifs -v -m 2048 -e 126976 -c 4096 -x zlib /dev/mmcblk0p1
root: (null)
min_io_size: 2048
leb_size: 126976
max_leb_cnt: 4096
output: /dev/mmcblk0p1
jrn_size: 8388608
reserved: 0
compr: zlib
keyhash: r5
fanout: 8
orph_lebs: 1
super lebs: 1
master lebs: 2
log_lebs: 5
lpt_lebs: 2
orph_lebs: 1
main_lebs: 3
gc lebs: 1
index lebs: 1
leb_cnt: 14
Next, I try to mount the filesystem:
debian:~# mount -t ubifs /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard1/
UBIFS error (pid 4586): ubifs_get_sb: cannot open "/dev/mmcblk0p1", error -22
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mmcblk0p1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
After some more looking around, I work out that ubifs is not expected to work with SD flash, as ubifs expects to talk to raw flash, while SD uses FTL (Flash Translation Layer). Same deal with jffs2. While both of these filesystems work fine on the plug's internal flash, they're not intended for use with SD.
Next I try to take a step back, and try vfat:
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p2
mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdcard2
debian:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 256876 0 256876 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10240 120 10120 2% /dev
tmpfs 256876 4 256872 1% /dev/shm
rootfs 472968 197820 270312 43% /
/dev/mmcblk0p2 3873376 4 3873372 1% /mnt/sdcard2
So, vfat seems to work.
Next I try ext2 and ext3.
debian:~# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.ext3: /lib/libblkid.so.1: version `BLKID_2.17' not found (required by mkfs.ext3)
debian:~# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.ext2: /lib/libblkid.so.1: version `BLKID_2.17' not found (required by mkfs.ext2)
Long story short, it would be nice to use a journaling filesystem. I don't seem to have the updated library to use ext<n>. What are my options?
Thanks for any insight / recommendations.

This is a bug in the e2fsprogs. I came across it some days ago.
It has been fixed in the unstable tree of debian. So I fixed it by downloading the deb files for e2fsprogs and the 2 dependencies from the debian/unstable site and installed it via dpkg -i <debfile>
By the way - the SD Slot can't distinguish between filesystems. So all filesystems are supported as long as there are "drivers" for it.

What are my options?
Do you have any other Linux system available? And a USB adaptor for an SDHC card (or an SD slot in a laptop...)? If so, format it to ext3 on the other system to get around the e2fsprogs bug.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not a Linux expert, so keep that in mind if I'm asking basic questions.
So, the e2fsprogs bug is preventing this image from being able to format the SD card using ext3? I checked, and this package is installed on the plug. I guess it is not configured right? Wikipedia says that the unstable tree is squeeze. So if I did "apt-get upgrade", wouldn't that pick up the updated package with your fix?
Is ext3 a good "default" filesystem for an SD card? I would not need to access this card anywhere except on the plug, so interoperability isn't an issue. (It might be nice to swap the card between the two plugs.) Is wear-leveling an issue when considering this choice, or does that happen transparently to the filesystem layer? It's great that the SD can't distinguish between filesystems, so given that, what is a good choice?
I do not have any other Linux machines with SD card access. I guess that's an option, to go buy a USB adapter.

What I mean by this is, in other communities of people, there may be certain ways to measure a delusion. An atheist may define it differently than a theist. The official DSM has a specific way to define a "delusion" (with religious exemption).
Do any Christian doctrines have a clear way to define delusions OR is there no such thing as a psychological delusion from a Christian perspective?

Attorney General Jon Bruning today announced Joseph J. Buttercase, 30, of Beatrice, was sentenced to 20 to 30 years in prison for one count of first-degree sexual assault, four to five years for one count of false imprisonment, 20 months to five years for one count of strangulation and one year for one count of third-degree domestic assault. The sentences will run consecutively. In August, a jury found him guilty of the charges in Gage County District Court.
"This man brutally beat a woman for hours before sexually assaulting her," said Bruning. "Today's sentence sends a clear message that violence against women will not be tolerated in the State of Nebraska. This is an appropriate sentence for the seriousness of these crimes."
In July 2011, Buttercase assaulted the victim in his home over a period of more than three hours. The victim was punched in the face, head-butted, slammed onto the floor and strangled to near unconsciousness. At the conclusion of the extensive beating, she was violently sexually assaulted.
More than 100 exhibits were offered into evidence during the four-day trial, including blood and semen samples. After a deliberation of just two and a half hours, jurors delivered a guilty verdict.
Assistant Attorney General Greg Ariza handled the case in coordination with Deputy Gage County Attorney Amanda Spracklen-Hogan.

WALTON, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky's auditor says the city of Walton improperly paid bonuses to employees with funds acquired from selling scrap metal.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports that auditor also concluded the city used funds to buy gifts for employees, council members and the mayor. Among the gifts were gift cards, hams and a cookie bouquet.
According to the auditor's office, City Clerk Peggy Gray and Public Works Supervisor Roger Williams said the scrap metal was sold for cash to a local recycling center. Gray distributed the money among employees as bonuses in 2009, 2010 and 2011. There is no record of the items sold or the amount of the bonuses paid.
Mayor Phillip Trzop said the audit is not "a bad thing" and shows the city needs to tighten its procedures.

Can Anyone Find Me A Fat Unicorn Shirt?
I have a friend who is going through a rough time right now. I know she likes stuff like this so I had sent her a picture of the old Fat Unicorn woot shirt. She absolutely loved it and talked about how she wished she had seen it when it was around (She didn't get turned on to shirt woot until recently) and how it would have been her favorite shirt.
Got me to thinking that maybe someone has one they don't wear much that they would be willing to sell me. I know she'd love it and it'd pick her spirits up a whole lot. Figured it was at least worth a shot. I know it's a long shot though.
So if anyone has one in Women's Medium or Large I will absolutely pay for it and pay for shipping to me. Used is okay as long as it's still in decent shape.
15 Answers answer
somewhere on the shirt woot page is a random trade thread. that is your best option.
i think the person to call on who will best be able to tell you where the thread is located is @neuropsychosocial (if i spelled it wrong can someone call it spelled correctly?)
@moosezilla: neuropsychosocial is correct.
Good luck on the fat unicorn. This might help:
There is one listed on tee trade that matches your criteria hopefully they've still got it and are willing to part with it. Keep an eye out for the resales though you might be able to pick up a fresh one.
They had it in the side sale not too long ago ...
This does raise the question ... WM or WL in AA or in Anvil? The two are sized way differently.
Why would a fat unicorn need a shirt?
@xarous posted the links to the shirt Trading Thread and TeeTrade, which are your two best bets. Keep an eye on the new "trade everything except Shirts" thread, because people are posting shirts anyway. :)
As @narfcake pointed out, Fat Unicorn recently reprinted in a Woot Plus sale. In the past, we've seen a handful of shirts from Woot Plus show up in the Randoms, but Fat Unicorn probably wouldn't show up in the batch that just arrived; it would likely be in the next batch, so keep your eyes peeled!
@narfcake: That's why I figured I'd go with Medium or Large. She's really a Medium but that way either should work. At least I hope!
Thanks for the tips!! I emailed the one on teetrade (Never even knew of that site, that's cool) and also posted in the trade thread. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
So, @bingo969, all of us know that when you say "I have a friend..." that it's really about "you". Come on and fess up. YOU are the one that really wants that "fat unicorn" shirt. Come on, we're your friends, you can tell us. We won't laugh at you (too much). :)
@bingo969: Again, they are sized very differently. If she's WM in AA, then the Anvil shirts will NOT WORK at all. My SO can vouch for this aspect; the Anvil WM she was (inadvertently) sent is so oversized they fit me. I usually buy size ML, BTW.
aww. you're a good pal, @bingo969.
@barnabee: You know what's funny? I do think the shirt is hilarious. I was tempted when I first saw it come up but seeing as how I'm built and look rather like a festively plump lumberjack, I'm not at all certain it's gonna be a good look on me. At least in this case I can safely dodge this one since there is no friggin way I'm gonna fit into a women's med or large ;P
@pemberducky: Ahhh it's not a big deal. She lost both her Mom and her job within the last month and she really thought it was just the coolest shirt she'd ever seen. If me dropping ~20 bucks or so on a tshirt can put a little light back in her I think that's the least anyone can do and is something anyone WOULD do. At least I hope so, you know?
@bingo969: Will you be my friend? You seem to be awesome at the whole friend thing.
You might also check on ebay. Just a thought. Best of luck!

Why I even think it could have any effect: maybe when the body has deficit of the oxygen, the burning reaction modifies to burn more sugar/fat/whatever (i.e. instead of burning each molecule completely it is burning them just up to a certain point and go over to the next)? (have heard something like that but would like to have some solid facts :) If there is any difference, how much is it, is it worth to think about during workouts?

Does the amount of breathing (holding breath/breathing fast) affect the calories burned during a workout (not heavylifting)?
Quite simply, no. In order to understand why, you have to understand the metabolic pathways used in exercise. If there are slight differences in the amount of calories burned, it is due merely to the difference in energy needed to move the lungs.
Essentially, your muscles use Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to perform their work. The different metabolic pathways all result in generating ATP. The three major pathways are:
Only one of those pathways uses oxygen. It should be noted that the metabolic pathways are listed in order of the amount of Calories burned for that type of activity. While aerobic activity burns a higher percentage of fat during activity, the energy demands are fairly low and there is no "afterburn" associated with that activity. It should also be noted that the metabolic pathways are cumulative. You are still operating oxidatively even when you are predominantly operating in the glycolytic manner. The anaerobic pathways, while they burn more carbs immediately, they also require more Calories. When you finally come to rest, the body has to replenish the energy from somewhere. In the absence of food, this means the body has to burn fat to create glycogen--which is what the "afterburn" of high intensity interval training comes from.

It's possible that display techniques might cause problems with SEO. I'll go over a few but without more specifics it's hard to say if what you're doing will cause problems or be unimportant.
I don't know what you mean by "even perform SEO"

Dancer Promotions at MCB
Posted 28 March 2007 - 11:44 AM
Charlene Cohen, Marc Spielberger, and Daymel Sanchez.
And to Alexander Dutko, promoted to Coryphee.
Apprentice Daniel Baker has choreographed a piece, Incarnadine, the World Premiere of which was performed at Program 2 of MCB's Contemporary Dance Series in Miami Beach March 23 and 24. Works by Balanchine, Wheeldon, and Villella were also performed, so Baker was in pretty good company.
You can see brief biographies on the Company site. Just click "The Company" after you get there.
Miami City Ballet
There's also a new Director of Development, Heidi Hancock, who has served in the same capacity for Boston Ballet and Kansas City Ballet. It's a difficult job, since MCB has subscription series in four different cities, and actually has more performances in West Palm Beach than in Miami. I really wish her and her colleagues success. (Will someone in Palm Beach County please give the money to keep a live orchestra in performances here? ) Also -- though I know this is controversial -- how about starting a program as in ABT, NYCB, etc, in which donors can "sponsor" individual dancers? It might help with the needed expansion of the ranks of male Principals.

Welcome, artspatron07. It's great to have another BTer in this area. Looking forward to your thoughts about the MCB and other ballet performances in this culturally rich -- but somewhat "out of the way" -- part of the country
Posted 15 April 2007 - 12:22 PM
I was told by a development rep that Ilyin has "left the company." (Management-speak for .... ????) I don't know about Shimizu. Both are fine dancers. Ilyin, especially, who was able to project the more serious classical roles, will be missed at the top.

Thank you Bart for your greeting. I will also miss both Ilyin and Shimizu. I would have enjoyed seeing Ilyin perform Rubies next season. I believe it will be a difficult void to fill. Do you know who will take Ilyin's place?
Posted 15 April 2007 - 12:35 PM
Sadly, I'm 90 miles away from HQ. Also, Ballet Talk posts only official news in these matters. (Though we can, of course, express our thoughts about who SHOULD be hired, promoted, and similar matters.)
[Do you know who will take Ilyin's place?

Please, all MCB followers, if and when you find official news on new dancers, please post (and link if possible) here. :beg: Thanks.
Although I have not seen an official press release, Miami City Ballet has added new dancers to the company roster. The new dancer's bios are not yet complete on the company's web page but here are the changes listed on MCB's website (with bios and photos coming soon).
New soloists: Daniel Sarabia and Joseph Phillips
New members of corps de ballet: Herberth Riascos, Lisa Reneau, Neil Marshall, and Jennifer Lauren
Promoted to corps de ballet from company apprentice: Daniel Baker and Maira Barriga (I believe Daniel Baker and Maira Barriga were SAB students before arriving in Miami last season).
Promoted to corps de ballet from coryphee: Leigh Ann and Sarah Esty
New company appprentices: Helen Ruiz and Christine Sciturro.

I Googled the following Boston Ballet biography for Daniel Sarabia ...
and for Joseph Phillips I see from today's posts on the YAGP Gala thread that Phillips partnered Ashley Bouder last night in something from Stars and Stripes.
I am sure that these young dancers will add excitement and stage presence to the company.
However, I would also love also to see a more mature and experienced dancer brought on board who could give greater emotional weight and dramatic presence to the list of male principals. Maybe more news is coming ... ?
I should add another name that really excites me: Alex Wong, promoted from corps to soloist. Very much deserved!
By the way, Alexander Dutko -- who was promoted to coryphee earlier in the season -- choreographed a lovely and remarkably accomplished piece for the dancers' own "Our Show" a few weeks ago. Called "Venia," the piece involved a single man (Dutko himself) and three women (Kristin D'Addario, Ashley Knox and Amanda Weingarten). These dancers are SO young and so very talented. But the setting Dutko made for himself and them was the work of someone who understands movement and pacing, and can deploy his dancers across the stage with an artistry that is well beyond his years.
Posted 10 May 2007 - 11:12 AM
Soloist Charlene Cohen will join San Francisco Ballet as a corps de ballet member next season. I am curious why she would leave Miami after being promoted to soloist. San Francisco Ballet is a wonderful company with maybe larger programing opportunity and more exposure. She will be missed in Miami, but congratulations to her.
The MCB newsletter Bravo reports three promotions to Soloist. (It happened "mid-season," but I didn't catch it. Congratulations to:
Charlene Cohen, Marc Spielberger, and Daymel Sanchez.
And to Alexander Dutko, promoted to Coryphee.
See San Francisco's press release.
Posted 10 May 2007 - 12:18 PM
Interesting question. One thing occurs to me: there's such a large talent pool of young, upcoming female dancers at MCB. Cohen is a lovely dancer, but didn't seem to have any qualities that made her unique or irreplaceable within that particular company and its rep. Maybe the needs are different at SFB, and the opportunities greater for a dancer like Cohen.

Anyway, this was the season that Cohen became one of those dancers I looked for when the curtain went up. I hope the move brings her -- and SFB -- all the best.

Congratulations to all!
Posted 24 May 2007 - 01:19 PM
It will take a while for me to absorb (mentally) all these additions. Off the top of my head, I'm truly happy to see Garcia-Rodriguez return; he always impressed me with his stage presence and dramatic sense. Two Sarabias, too! The male roster certainly will be fun to watch this coming season.
I'm very much looking forward to hearing the responses of others who follow MCB and/or are familiar with the work of these dancers.

All About Astronomy
- Book on star constellations
Astronomy is the study of stars, planets, and other objects that make up the universe. Astronomers observe the sky and also ask questions like, "What are stars made of?" and "How do stars create light?" Some astronomers study through observation, viewing the sky through a telescope. Go outside on a clear night and look at the stars. Read a little before you go out so you know what to look for. Try to find constellations like the Southern Cross, the Big Dipper, or others you see in the book. Go out different times of the year and do a little map of what you see. Does the sky change throughout the year?

Construction Job Productivity Management
A How-To with ASTM Manual 65
As the saying goes, time is money.
That's true for many projects, construction and otherwise, and measurement can lead to process improvements and resulting savings. But how do you decide what to measure and how to measure so that you can make process improvements and reduce costs?
Use job productivity measurement.
JPM is a measurement method, with an associated manual based on an ASTM International standard that addresses the topic. The standard is E2691 and the book is ASTM Manual 65, Application of ASTM E2691, Standard Practice for Job Productivity Measurement, by Perry Daneshgari, Ph.D., and Heather Moore. Daneshgari is president and CEO of MCA Inc., Flint, Mich., and Moore is vice president of operations for the company.
Daneshgari and Moore say that, prior to the manual's publication, they received a considerable number of requests from industry for information about using E2691 and JPM. "The construction industry is at a historical inflection point, [changing] from a skilled trade to industrial driven production," they say. In response, Daneshgari and Moore created the manual to expose the reader to the principles behind the standard and its application in the construction industry.
Job productivity and its deviation from the expected outcome is the foundation of the standard and the manual. The reader will learn how the ratio of labor resources used to the actual transferred value to the end user quantifies the effectiveness of production. The calculation compares how much effective work is put in place, versus the number of available labor hours. That work is what has been designed, planned, laid out, installed or fabricated.
To achieve such measurements, the user of JPM breaks a project into tasks and cost codes. To interpret the results, statistical process control tools and methods are used. Using an industrial engineering approach, this method will take into account installation difficulties at any given point on a job. JPM also enables the evaluation of relative productivity changes.
Through the manual, Daneshgari and Moore treat the JPM topic comprehensively. The authors document two JPM add-ons, as referenced in the book's introduction, that (1) promote more realistic approaches for recognizing revenue, and (2) identify the special and common causes affecting project progress and performance.
The first six chapters include technical foundations for JPM and the E2691 standard. The chapters are a guide to:
- Introduce the topic and JPM;
- Explore the difference between construction output and outcome;
- Emphasize visibility through statistical process control and related checks;
- Focus on construction financial models and how they affect the bottom line;
- Describe construction productivity measurement methods; and
- Explain the JPM standard practice.
The final chapter features case studies that apply JPM. The illustrations of applying the methodology include the task of an office electrical service installation, the project of constructing a new commercial office or renovating an existing facility, and a conceptual study of applying JPM at the industry level.
Three appendixes round out the book and give further insight on the following topics:
- Exploring the individual issues with production and their cumulative impact;
- Applying JPM to improve contract billing; and
- Resources to check for additional information.
The JPM method's principles, ease of application and 20 years of use in the built environment, say Daneshgari and Moore, lay the foundation for the manual's and the standard's use. Their use will improve productivity, profitability and company competitiveness.

"Dancin'" Jack Dover continued to establish himself as one of the nation's top upcoming talents by earning a strong ranking of fourth with the Lucas Oil ASCS presented by K&N Filters National series in 2010.
Perhaps most impressive was the adversity that the now 21-year-old overcame along the way, including injuries and some ill fortune, just to rank among the top-five with what many consider the toughest touring Sprint Car series in the country.
The 2010 campaign was Dover's second full year on the ASCS National trail after ranking ninth in his rookie
He slid to a stop on the frontstretch and was quickly engulfed in bright flashbulbs. It didn't take long for the seatbelts to be unfastened and as if scripted, Jack climbed out of his sprint car and hopped onto the tail tank to the roar of the crowd.
With his hand raised in the air and his No. 53 race car glistening in the crisp summer night, Jack celebrated a signature moment after claiming the prestigious ASCS National Tour's Eagle Nationals at his home track of Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb. There were TV cameras and radio interviews; numerous pictures and countless autographs.
His winning smile and gracious attitude combined with continuing success on the track have created a dynamic individual known as "The Gasman." He received the nickname at an early age because of a relentless love of speed. As Jack grew through the racing ranks, driving bigger and faster race cars, his reputation became further cemented.
It began as a 9-year-old competing in micro midgets. Jack finished all six of his micro midget years in the top 10 nationally and he claimed numerous track and regional titles. After winning the 2001 NMMA Junior Micro Midget National Championship, Jack had a breakout year in 2004 when he won the Restrictor Micro Midget National Championship, the prestigious Tulsa Shootout and the Valvoline Cup National title.
Jack transitioned to sprint cars in 2005, when he spent a year behind the wheel of a 305ci engine sprinter. He promptly earned the first Rising Star Award at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., and Jack won every A Main event he competed in that season.
In 2006, Dover advanced to the 360ci class and claimed the Eagle Raceway and ASCS Midwest Region Rookie of the Year honors. He also won the Eckley Memorial feature, placed third in points at Eagle Raceway and was the runner-up in the ASCS Midwest Region.
Since that rookie season, Dover has earned nearly additional 50 victories, two ASCS Midwest Region championships, five ASCS National Tour wins and finished in the top 10 in both seasons of competing full-time on the ASCS National Tour.
Jack has won at every level he's competed at and he has built himself into a player at the national level. His goal of eventually racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is alive as he continues to gain attention and credibility.

There are many good questions on Stack Overflow. But sometimes the accepted answer may not be the best answer. Anyone who has a better answer to a question may be discouraged from putting down his answer since there is already an accepted answer. Would it be better for the community to encourage new answers to old questions that may deserve better answers?
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
I don't really understand the basis of your question. 'Should a Previously Accepted Answer be Voided by a New Answer?' implies that you want any new answer to a question to void the existing accepted answers. This seems like a mistake, since it would allow a spam answer to remove a useful answer...
Your premise seems to be a desire to encourage new answers on existing questions. There's already a way of doing this through the bounty system. If you don't think the answers on a question are of sufficient quality, you as a member of the community that feels that way, can offer a bounty on it. This raises the profile of the question for a period of time and encourages people to actively add new answers to it, particularly if you explain the reason you've offered the bounty in the comments on the question.
For starters, there are badges like Revival and Necromancer to reward new answers to old questions. Those badges are pretty self-explanatory.
Additionally, the community already shows support for posts through votes, and better answers will naturally receive more upvotes than not-as-good answers. Answers that are especially outstanding versus the accepted answer eventually get rewarded with the Populist badge. This all makes up quite nicely for the fact that there's no way to change which answer to a question is accepted unless you were the one who asked the question.

text: Hello everyone, Ive been a lurker for the past few years and found some amazing book recommendations here (mainly Lies of Locke Lamore & Name of the wind). Anyways I keep looking through posts for books that interest me and I figured I might as well say hi and thanks and possibly try to ask directly. Would anyone know some great contemporary fantasy books? I like things that take place in the modern world with people who have powers. I enjoyed the Dresden books but not really that crazy over them. I absolutely loved Chronicles of amber, I enjoy books with conmen and such in it which is why I loved lies of locke lamora (even though its not technically "contemporary). Heck I even love vampire books but not really the romance ones, more the various vampire houses and how they interact/plot against one another. Anyways if you have any recommendations id love to hear them. Even a great high fantasy series to replace Wheel of time when its done (ive also read George Martin and enjoyed that one too). Thanks!

We would like to pay tribute to Gene Siskel, journalist, film critic, family man and true "Friend of OncoLink". Mr. Siskel died February 20, 1999 from apparent complications of a brain tumor.
The Editors of OncoLink met Mr. Siskel on April 20th of 1998 when he and his long time colleague Roger Ebert of "Siskel and Ebert" fame were hosts at the Third Annual Global Information Infrastructure (GII) Awards in Chicago. It was a real thrill to receive the award from such prestigious journalists and critics. They were such gracious hosts and we were enthralled at the way their on-screen banter carried over beyond the movie business into the Internet community. We were all truly impressed at the way they commented during the ceremony about each winning web site and appeared to have taken the time to genuinely review each one. OncoLink's award was toward the end of the night. Our excitement grew as we wondered what they would possibly say about our website. Our hearts swelled as Roger Ebert admitted that although they had indeed needed to review each site prior to the cermony they were already familiar with our site! He explained that they had a "friend" with a brain tumor who needed information and they found it on OncoLink! They proceeded to give us their famous "Two Thumbs Up" sign. We bragged about it for weeks!
After the ceremony Mr. Siskel did mention to us that he would be having surgery to remove a growth on his brain. He was vague about the details but seemed in good spirits and was expecting everything to go well. He underwent surgery in May of 1998 and returned to the syndicated "Siskel & Ebert at the Movies" very quickly. Earlier this month, he announced that he was taking time off to rest and further recuperate from the surgery. He died Saturday at Evanston Hospital in Illinois.
He will be truly missed.

So I've been wanting to get in better shape again, but I don't really have a gym membership. Been thinking about getting one soon though (once I have the budget, that is). Anyway, until then I've decided to just work out in my home gym.
So far my home gym includes a bench, some weights, a bike, and one of those body opponent bags. Doesn't sound like much right now, but it seems to be working out just fine.
My routine typically goes like this…
In the morning I bike to work every day. It's about a 5 mile ride each day and it's a lot of up hill cycling. The roadbike I have is pretty high quality and the ride is comfortable for the most part. I bike at a moderate pace which is enough to get my heart pumping pretty good, although I never quite make it to work completely drenched in sweat (I do this on purpose so that I don't scare all my co-workers).
The ride back is a little bit easier since it's mostly down hill. However, I'll occasionally take a longer route home in order to beef up the workout.
When I get home, I'll usually grab a bite to eat and then hit the bench. I've been working some hefty sets, mainly focusing on two areas at a time. I'll do chest and triceps on one day, legs and back on the other, and then random lifts on the third day. I take a day off in-between and then start the 3 day split again.
Overall, I think this routine is working out well for me. Once I get a gym membership (probably at anytime fitness, cause it's the closest), I'll likely continue a similar routine, but the added equipment will do well to aid in this journey. My goal is to improve my cardio, gain some muscle, and get healthy. I'm hitting 30 this year and I've been inactive for a long time so this new goal is perfect for me.
Wish me luck!

Sencha example: retrieving data via a local text file rather than a json url proxy.
I am dissecting the Sencha examples to learn how to access data and use it in a Sencha application. Specifically, I am looking at the O'Reilly example http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/examples/oreilly/
My goal is to prevent having to go to a separate url and instead use a text file (or any file) on my local machine.
In the code availabe in the sample, the O'Reilly app
initComponent: function() { this.list = new Ext.List({ grouped: true, itemTpl: '{title} {room}', loadingText: false, store: new Ext.data.Store({ model: 'Proposal', sorters: 'time', proxy: { type: 'scripttag', url :'https://en.oreilly.com/web2010/public/mobile_app/all', // url :'mydata.txt', <- this don't work reader: { type: 'json', root: 'proposals' } }, listeners: { load: { fn: this.initializeData, scope: this } } });
When I plug the url https://en.oreilly.com/web2010/public/mobile_app/all into my browser, I'm able to extract this information and save it as a text file. But when I try to access text file in my proxy-url with something like this:
proxy: { type: 'scripttag', url :'mydata.txt', //<- this don't work reader: { type: 'json', root: 'proposals' }
11 Jul 2011 1:47 PM #2
11 Jul 2011 2:57 PM #3
proxy: { type: 'ajax', //<- this didn't work url :'mydata.json', //<- this don't work reader: { type: 'json', root: 'proposals' }
28 Jul 2011 1:34 AM #4
Hi anthoang
I'm stuck with the same problem, have you been able to find a solution?
28 Jul 2011 1:59 AM #5
The following works for me
Ext.Ajax.request({ url: 'data.json', success: function(response, opts) { console.log(response.responseText); }, failure: function(response, opts) { //iOS in phonegap returns response.status=0 on success if(response.status == 0 && response.responseText != ''){ console.log(response.responseText); } else { console.error('failed to load data'); } } });
28 Jul 2011 11:06 AM #6
I've kinda given up.
Can you provide a bigger snipplet of your code? where/how you are using the Ext.Ajax.request component. Thanks!
29 Jul 2011 1:20 AM #7
Well, all I actually do after the call is read the response into a store through a custom reader. But thats a really ugly workaround I need because I have to augment the data with info from a second data source before putting it into the store. Nothing you would normally need to do, thats why I cut down my code
I actually just tried the above code and it works fine for me (tested on safari).
Here is a complete example
Ext.regModel('User', { fields: [ {name: 'name', type: 'string'} ] }); var s = new Ext.data.Store({ model: 'User', proxy: { type: 'ajax', url :'resources/users.json' }, listeners: { load: function(s, r){console.log(r)} } }); s.load();Code:
//users.json [{ "name": "anthoang" }, { "name": "mike" }]

Take a look at how I'm doing it over here:
I had to use a combination of jQuery and Sencha Touch. I'm sure that's horrible, but I just could not get it to work any other way.
10 Sep 2012 11:13 PM #9
can we write and read excel file and text file in sencha touch ?
Hi everyone..
can we write and read excel file and text file in sencha touch 1 or 2?
If so we can get the data from Excel file and stores into database pragmatically, which makes easy to update database through excel file instead of modifying in DB and again installing application.
Note: I am talking about mobile application which is not web app
Thanks in advance..

Reward Offered In Walgreens Assault Case
A $1,000 reward is offered to catch an woman who ran over a Walgreens employee who tried to stop her from shoplifting.
Police released a surveillance photo of the woman investigators believe is responsible.
It happened Tuesday night at 6:57 p.m. at the Walgreens on Eureka Way in Redding. Police said a woman left the store with several stolen items. When employee Linda Lees, 54, confronted her in the parking lot, the customer drove away, knocking Lees to the ground.
The female suspect was described as a white female, 25 to 30 years of age, 5 foot 6 inches tall, 120 pounds. She was wearing a black beanie cap, black jacket, camouflage overalls and dark colored snow boots.
The suspect was last seen leaving in a white Dodge extended cab pickup. Secret Witness is offering the $1,000 reward for information.
Anyone with information about the suspect's identity is urged to call the Redding Police at 530-225-4214

This is the frame that I'm using for my sukkah. In the event that the bars forming the frame's roof cannot be removed, would they completely posul the flat sechach I might construct beneath them? If so, what considerations must be undertaken in order to construct a sukkah with a slanted roof? My understanding is that a slanted roof does not posul the sukkah (Halacha 7) but that, aside from not being optimal, there are complications to consider. I cannot seem to find a source which addresses these complications, though. Obviously, my preference would be if the four bars forming the roof just didn't posul it in the first place. This seems unlikely, though.

Glucokinase in complex with an activator and glucose
Human glucokinase (GK) is a principal regulating sensor of plasma glucose levels. Mutations that inactivate GK are linked to diabetes, and ones that activate it are associated with hypoglycemia. Unique kinetic properties equip GK for its regulatory role: although it has weak basal affinity for glucose, positive cooperativity in its binding of glucose causes a rapid increase in catalytic activity when plasma glucose concentrations rise above euglycemic levels. In clinical trials, small molecule GK activators (GKA) have been efficacious in lowering plasma glucose and enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), but they carry a risk of overly activating GK and causing hypoglycemia. The theoretical models proposed to date attribute the positive cooperativity of GK to the existence of distinct protein conformations that interconvert slowly and exhibit different affinities for glucose. Here we report the respective crystal structures of the catalytic complex of GK and of a GK/glucose complex in a wide-open conformation. To assess conformations of GK in solution, we also carried out small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments. The results showed that glucose dose-dependently converts GK from an apo conformation to an active open conformation. Compared to wild type GK, activating mutants required notably lower concentrations of glucose to be converted to the active open conformation. GKAs decreased the level of glucose required for GK activation, and different compounds demonstrated distinct activation profiles. These results lead us to propose a modified mnemonic model to explain cooperativity in GK. Our findings may offer new approaches for designing GKA with reduced hypoglycemic risk.

From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[HXK4_HUMAN] Defects in GCK are the cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2) [MIM:125851]; also shortened MODY-2. MODY is a form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Defects in GCK are the cause of familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 3 (HHF3) [MIM:602485]; also known as persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) or congenital hyperinsulinism. HHF is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy. Unless early and aggressive intervention is undertaken, brain damage from recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may occur.[14]
[HXK4_HUMAN] Catalyzes the initial step in utilization of glucose by the beta-cell and liver at physiological glucose concentration. Glucokinase has a high Km for glucose, and so it is effective only when glucose is abundant. The role of GCK is to provide G6P for the synthesis of glycogen. Pancreatic glucokinase plays an important role in modulating insulin secretion. Hepatic glucokinase helps to facilitate the uptake and conversion of glucose by acting as an insulin-sensitive determinant of hepatic glucose usage.

Some birds flock to Connecticut to end winter
|A fox sparrow. Credit: Mark Szantyr
March can still pack a wintry wallop, but we know that before it ends tree swallows will be coursing for insects, pine warblers will be trilling in their namesake trees and somewhere great blue herons will be on their nests.
In the month's first week we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves with those kinds of thoughts, but there's enough migration under way by now to justify thinking ahead.
The most conspicuous birds on the move are icterids, better known as blackbirds. It's time to looked for mixed flocks of red-winged blackbirds, common grackles and brown-headed cowbirds. These are abundant species that can appear by the thousands, moving up river valleys and rolling across farm fields in search of seed.
I love looking through these flocks, enjoying the variety of red-winged blackbird plumage and trying to find something rare. There are two main objects of such scrutiny, yellow-headed blackbirds and Brewer's blackbirds.
The former appears in Connecticut every year, and any big mixed icterid flock has the potential to hold one. The latter is for the most part just an idle wish.
It could appear in Connecticut but almost never does. I'm not aware of a single confirmed sighting in the 20 years I've lived here.
Blackbirds will at times overwhelm feeders, but the bird I watch for at my feeder this month is the fox sparrow. A few of these big, ruddy sparrows winter in Connecticut, but they're most apt to appear at feeders during their migrations, in March and in November. A fresh snowfall, a not very spring-like intrusion on our reveries, will bring fox sparrows to feeders, or more precisely to the ground under them.
They're inveterate scratchers that prefer to take their seed from the ground and generally avoid raised feeders.
They might be joined by another species with a very similar method of operation, the eastern towhee. If you're not too busy filling feeders emptied by blackbirds, you should keep an eye out for these two migrants.

What are the techniques that a white belt should master to become a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? What are the differences between a white belt and a blue belt BJJ practitioner?
The requirements for blue belt vary from school to school. What is required at Roy Harris' academy is not what is required at Renzo Gracie's, Marcelo Garcia's, and so on.
The Straight Blast Gym had a good article about how to view the goals of each belt progression. Here's the section on going from white to blue:
Essentially, do the techniques you're taught, train hard, roll frequently with a variety of partners, and get familiar with the positional hierarchy and high-percentage fundamental submissions. Most commonly the positions include at least mount, some form of guard (which may vary from school to school, but is often closed or butterfly), side control, and back mount. Many schools will specialize in variations of this list, so it's not unusual to see a blue belt whose strongest positions are, for instance X-guard and knee-on-belly. The fundamental submissions for low ranks usually include the rear naked choke, cross collar choke, straight armbar, Kimura, and triangle choke.
at the will machado club I go to, there is a syllabus for white to blue which broadly breaks down into
While there's set techniques for each of those that you need to know, the teaching involves many variations and setups.
To me the difference between white and blue is one of "Basic Mechanics" of BJJ and being able to generally be able hit those techniques reasonably competently while rolling.
This is kinda an old post but I couldn't help but comment. What techniques should a white belt master to progress to blue belt? Well, I'm not sure that at the blue belt level you have "mastered" anything yet. However, at white belt you should focus on certain things to help your overall skill level progress efficiently. I fall into the Saulo camp for the most part. While a white belt should be exposed to submissions, sweeps, etc. that should not be their focus. Submissions are the last piece of the puzzle and focusing on them early on will only hurt your game. I think it comes down to survival. You should focus on surviving. So what does that mean? It means a few things, the first of which is relaxing, breathing and focusing on technique. Stop trying to win.
Second, good posture. I mean have good posture in every position and focus on learning what it means to have good posture from every position. Most schools drill what it means to have good posture when you are in someone's guard. But what does it mean to have good posture when say you are stuck in side control. Most white belts try to escape from side control before establishing good posture from side control. Understand what your opponents objectives are to control you in side control and then nullify those measures of control. Example: Keep arms in tight to avoid submission, block or remove cross-face, create frames with your arms for bridging by bracing them to the ground or your own body, turn into your opponent, etc.
On the flipside learn what good posture means for you in dominant positions and work to create pressure and break down your opponents posture. Submissions are a result of good posture and pressure. You can't pull off a submission against a skilled opponent without good posture and unrelenting pressure.
Third, focus on what you need to do from inferior positions. You are outskilled by your opponents as a white belt. You will primarily be in inferior positions. Therefore your research should be focused on learning and honing your skill from inferior positions. The more you focus on that the quicker you will go from being dominated to being able to dominate. Also, once you start to achieve dominant positions more often you will be able to better capitalize because you have a better idea of your opponents escape routes and can shut them down early.
Lastly, there is one added benefit to this approach. It removes the element of fear which allows you to learn more quickly. Think about it, you are calm, breathing, relaxing, focusing on technique and not focused on winning. Take that and combine it with focusing on good posture and survival techniques. Put it all together and you have no fear. You are thinking rationally. That helps you to progress more quickly. And in the end, I think that is the whole point of training.
Forget about all the fancy techniques like chokes, sweeps, locks, armbars, etc. As a blue belt you are expected to know how to survive and not do stupid things such as pushing the person off you when mounted.
Survival, that is all.

The problem is people are false and carry on an image of what they want people to think they are.
If a relationship starts and this mask isn't removed or understood, they are getting involved in a problem just waiting to happen.
If you WANT monogamy, get married. If you want to fuck different people, don't get married.
But DO NOT pretend to be monogamous when you are really not up for it.
Please verify you're human:

In representation theory of finite groups, there is Mackey test for irreducibility of an induced representation (Serre- Linear Representations of Finite Groups - #7.4). The author has stated it for field $\mathbb{C}$. Is it true for representations over arbitrary field whose characteristic is zero or co-prime to the order of group ?
I think so. The key property used in the proof is $$ Res^G_H Ind^G_H V=\bigoplus_{s\in H\setminus G/H} Ind^H_{H_s}V_s, $$ where $V_s$ is the twist of $V$ by $s$, and $H_s=sHs^{-1}\cap H$, and its proof is more or less manifestly characteristic-free. Other than that, instead of characters and scalar products $\langle \chi_U,\chi_W\rangle$ you can use the actual spaces of intertwiners $Hom_G(U,W)$, and finally instead of saying that irreducibility of $W$ means the intertwining number $\dim Hom_G(W,W)$ is equal to 1 (which is true over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero), you can say that irreducibility of $W$ means that $Hom_G(W,W)$ is a division algebra (which is true in the semisimple case, so under the assumption you want to make).
Let me, following a comment of Darij Grinberg, make the last step a bit more clear. There is a natural homomorphism of algebras $Hom_H(V,V)\to Hom_G(Ind^G_HV, Ind^G_HV)$. The induced representation $Ind^G_HV$ is irreducible if and only if this map is an isomorphism of algebras. However, to conclude that it is sufficient to show that it is an isomorphism of vector spaces, which we do without trouble via the Frobenius reciprocity.
To reinforce what Vladimir says, I'd replace his "I think so" by "Yes". The basic paper by Mackey in Amer. J. Math. 73 (1951) is retrievable online through JSTOR and might be worth looking at. His initial discussion of finite groups is done over arbitrary fields of characteristic 0, intended to generalize the work of Frobenius while providing background for the study of locally compact groups. It's only a convenience to assume that the ground field is $\mathbb{C}$ (done by Serre in part because his audience for the early lectures consisted of people with applied interests in character theory).
By now there are multiple textbook sources (including Serre, Bump, Isaacs, Dornhoff, Grove, etc.), each with different coverage and emphases. Probably the most comprehensive treatment of induction (along with tensor products and intertwining maps) is found in Part I, Section 10, of the large treatise Methods of Representation Theory by Curtis & Reiner, which goes beyond their pioneering 1962 book. At first they can work over arbitrary commutative rings, while discussing only the general module results; this flexibility is needed later to pass to J.A. Green's work on modular representations.
But in order to get an applicable irreduciblity criterion for induced characters in (10.25), they take a subfield of $\mathbb{C}$ which is a splitting field for the given finite group and all its subgroups. Even this kind of assumption can be weakened, since you only need a field of characteristic 0 containing sufficiently many roots of unity to ensure absolute irreducibility of the characters of the various irreducible representations involved.
If you really want to work with fields of prime characteristic, it's also a standard principle that the character theory works the same way provided only that the characteristic of the field doesn't divide the group order. To deal with absolute irreducibility of characters, you still need the splitting field assumption.
The inclusion ${\rm End}_H (V)\longrightarrow {\rm End}_G ({\rm Ind}_H^G V)$ is much clearer at the level of Hecke algebras. If ${\mathcal H}(G,V)$ denotes the spherical Hecke algebra attached to $V$ (which is known to be isomorphic to $ {\rm End}_G ({\rm Ind}_H^G V)$), then ${\rm End}_H (V)$ naturally identifies with the subalgebra of functions in the Hecke algebra with support $H$ : to $\psi$ you attach the function with support $H$ given by $h\mapsto \pi (h)\circ \psi =\psi \circ \pi (h)$. Then one has just to observe that the hypothesis of Mackey's criterion exactly says that functions in ${\mathcal H}(G,V)$ have support in $H$ !
For all of this you need to assume that the order of $G$ is prime to the caracteristics of the field of coefficients.
