New Sencha 2.2 : new features ?
Since Android is now the first mobile OS, I would like to know if :
1. the native android back button will be implemented
2. The native openurl (like in ios) will be implemented (for native packaging)
3. The LVL licence protection for Android, since google will let the other protection down.

It has more activations but stats that you get online aren't always 100% true or the most devices you will see using your app.
Will these features be in 2.2.0, not everything will. Do we want to support them, yes.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

If I may ask, I don't quite understand the plan for the next version of sencha...
Android was the first os in US (worldwide too) at the end of 2012, you have plenty of articles on the web about this fact.
Windows 8 could rapidly grow, but its performance in US market is underwhelming (ok in europe they maybe have 5 or 10 %)
If you look at some specific market (european countries) you see that Android is the most used os, and sometimes (like in France) by a large factor (Android 60 % , iOS : 25 %)
My question is : why don't you focusing your development on the top used OS, particularly on the top lack of features which are draining lot of questions on this forum (see 1 and 2 above)
I thought it would be logical, first fill the gap, then developing on other platform, then the world ...
But again I could miss some strategical points...

Any news on this, should we create a poll ? and then could you make it sticky ?

It's not that simple. It depends on what you mean by "first os". The stats are all over the place, in such a way that both Android and iOS are equally important. If you're developing a web-based app, iOS is the most important as web traffic is higher for iOS than Android. This is because a lot of Androids that are sold have no data plan, or the user is just getting a cheap phone and doesn't care that it has a web browser and never uses it.
Sales for Androids are higher, meaning there are more out there. But if people use them differently (and they do) then you have to pay attention to that.
Re: Android back button - it already works fine, I'm not sure why you're asking about that. Use URI schemes/routing in your app and the back button will work.

Back Button will work if you execute your Sencha app in a web browser, but it will not work in a native packaged app.

Description of Incident:
A construction worker was killed today when he apparently toppled down a ventilation shaft at a nine-story condominium under construction in Hillsboro Beach.
Shortly before noon, workers at the site of the Ocean Grande condo discovered the body of a fellow employee at the base of the ventilation shaft. The victim, a 48 year old man believed to be from Deerfield Beach, apparently died instantly when he fell, possibly from the top floor where he was working.
At the request of Hillsboro Beach Police, BSO Homicide detectives and OSHA representatives are investigating but they report no signs of foul play. The death appears to be the result of an industrial accident, however the Broward Medical Examiner will officially establish the cause following an autopsy.

chickpea and leek soup recipe
I'm feeling way better than I did a few days ago. I've been drinking loads of my lemon rosemary tea and clearing my sinuses with this, but Si's still been complaining that I'm keeping him awake with my constant dry cough all night long. I've been so tired it hasn't even been waking me up, but the nudge usually comes in at around 2am, a short sharp pang to the ribs, followed by a somewhat grumpy get a damn cough lolly would ya. I awake in the morning with that lovely furry mouth-feel and wonder how it is that I can still have a teeny little bit of lozenge on my tongue after all those hours of sleep?
I don't know what it is but after hot lemon honey, like most people, I then crave soup when I'm sick. There's loads of studies that have been done to prove that chicken soup does actually speed up recovery of the common cold, but I don't reckon you need the chicken, just delete the en and add in pea and you have yourself a nourishing, warming, tasty chickpea and leek soup instead.
I've been wanting to play around with this soup idea for the past few weeks. Leeks are everywhere at the moment and with just a handful of pantry staples you can throw this together in very little time. I prefer to soak and cook the chickpeas myself whenever possible, but should you only have tinned ones to work with this could come together in as little time as it takes for you to toast and butter some bread.
I like to slather on some extra olive oil to serve but if you feel like it (and tolerate) I imagine some shavings of parmesan or pecorino cheese could take this soup to the next level.
What do you crave when you aren't feeling well?
chickpea and leek soup
If you are using tinned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well and just use 1 litre of fresh water in place of the cooking liquor. Don't be tempted to use the manky brine they come in.
serves 4-6
- 1 1/2 cups (approx 250g) dried chickpeas, soaked overnight in plenty of water and a pinch of baking soda (or you could use approx 3 cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained well)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- 1 large leek, washed well and thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- gluten-free soy sauce or white miso paste, to taste, optional
Looking for more soup ideas?
- spicy coconut noodle soup
- creamy lentil soup
- split pea soup w/ coriander (cilantro) cashew nut pesto
- carrot and red lentil soup w/ minted eggplant
- asparagus and edamame soup w/ rocket (arugula) pesto
- tofu tom yam

Just what I need today. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Glad that you're feeling better. That soup looks so comforting, and I adore the serving bowl.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry you have been so sick. Those dry coughs are just the pits. I'm not great on chickpeas but the leek part of this soup looks divine, and I've just eaten so that's saying something.ReplyDelete
Delicious indeed, I'm so glad you're on the mend. I need a good soup when I'm ill, I usually go for a Thai style chicken and corn. The trouble its I usually feel to crappy to make it when I really need it :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha, I hear ya. If we were really onto it we'd stock the freezer full of sick-day-soup wouldn't we? But really, who's that organised? :-)Delete
I often add kelp to thinks soups and stews - feel like that helps with boosting the nutrients? Very 70s!ReplyDelete
PS I love your Friday night (NZ time) posts...sadly I'm usually at home at that time ;)Replies
Kelp! Yes! When I was little we'd drown all our soups with kelp and nutritional yeast. God that brings back memories :-)Delete
p.s It's been way to many years since I actually had a social life that extends to venturing out in the evening, I'm always home Friday nights too :-)
Aww nasty flu and coughs Ive had it too, big downer. Still your soup sounds delicious .... two vegies I loveReplyDelete

My kids favorite soup is chicken noodle soup without the chicken.Usually gets a giggle from people.A big bowl of rice noodles with a miso broth and whatever vegies in the fridge soup is what they actually get.Can not make my oldest eat a chickpea,he aways has a pile beside his plate.ReplyDelete
i hope you are well on your way to a full recovery! i've been having issues with dried anything recently. i've never heard of the pinch of baking soda in the overnight soak water before. does that help in the softening of the chickpeas? and would this trick help with other dried stuff like black beans?ReplyDelete
typically when i'm sick i crave chao (rice porridge) with lots of ginger + black pepper.Replies
Oh yum, I love chao, so do my kids.Delete
Re: baking soda, I've always added a pinch to the soaking water of chickpeas. Some people add a little pinch to the water when cooking them too, but I find they can go too mushy so just add it to my soaking water. It helps to soften them and I have a feeling it makes them more digestible too, although don't quote me on that. I've not tried it with other beans, but I don't see the harm in trying. xx
I'm sorry to hear you've been sick - those dry coughs are awful and can take so long to go away. Sounds like you are taking good care of yourself with lots of tea and this delicious soup - love chickpeas and leeks. We like Greek egg-lemon soup with rice quite a bit, and if I have a cold I crave something spicy like hot and sour soup. Hope you are all better soon!ReplyDelete
I loved this post and have included it in my July 2012 roundup of meatless meals. Thanks for the fresh approach and the inspiration! It's rare that I'll make soup this time of year but I sure plan to now!ReplyDelete
You could have been describing our week, right down to the cough lollies! On the worst sleepless night I couldn't stop thinking about the lemon rosemary tea I had read on your post the previous day! I will try the soup this coming week. Thanks.ReplyDelete

Well... I love soup any time of year, but especially when I'm sick. A classic chicken variety always seems to do the trick, but I would imagine your yummy leek and chickpea would be great medicine!

How do you feel about Mail-In Rebates?
We all know the instant rebate is best rebate, but how do you guys feel about Mail-In Rebates (MIRs)?
I just bought an Oral-b toothbrush 3 weeks ago because it had a 50% MIR (55$ in savings) and I'm still waiting another 3 weeks before I call them and bug them about it if I don't receive it. Now I'm just curious how other people feel about them.
For me I usually wont bother unless the rebate gets the item for free, or it's worth more than $25
How has your experience been with MIRs? Do you even bother with them? Did you have a bad experience that made you swear you would never do a MIR again?
Discuss- I'm curious as to what others think as this is only my second MIR and I had no problems with my first one.
16 Answers answer
Over the years, I've saved hundreds of dollars with mail in rebates. I tend to be organized & am good at following detailed instructions, so I've never had one not work when I got it done within the deadline. (On one occasion, I ended up missing the dealine on a $25 MIR for a WD 40GB drive, though I don't recall whether I misplaced the receipt or simply put it off or what. A few times, I've saved the UPCs & form for smaller MIRs on toothpaste or beer or whatever & never got around to actually sdending the rebate in.)
While instant rebates are better, the online submission ones aren't bad at all & save the cost of a stamp (eg. the recent ones from Staples to get $4.98 off of a ream of paper).
I don't live paycheck to paycheck, so it really doesn't matter to me whether a rebate check takes two, four, six or eight weeks to arrive.
It used to be annoying to have to schlep to the bank to deposit the checks, but now I use my camera phone and don't even have to put on pants to do it.
I've had some bad luck with Staples "Easy" rebates - they actually still owe me like $60 from a couple years ago lol - luckily I kept the receipts
But let's be real, nobody likes mail in rebates - that's one of the reasons why they exist in the first place; so a company can advertise a product at a certain price, without actually having to sell it at that price to a large percentage of the customers :D
Can't really envision a scenario where somebody would want to give there money to a company for several weeks/months, only to wait in anticipation of the day it's returns...
Maybe if you really like opening mail?
If I had to guess, I'd say I've had about 80% success with mail-in rebates. Additionally, about 3 out of 4 rebates, I don't take care of right away and miss the deadline, or just forget to do them altogether. Thus, If I'm an average customer, it's a good idea for companies to run them now and then.
I've decided to only buy products with rebates if the price before the rebate is roughly equivalent to the going rate elsewhere. You won't catch me buying at a moderately inflated price to "save big" with a $150 rebate.
I hate them. As a seriously addicted, but good, shopper I will not buy anything with a MIR. I have an allowance for my habit, and can not see the point in not having that money. Of course there are always exceptions, but very rarely. If I do happen to buy something, I ALWAYS mail it in asap!
They are a pain. The least desirable way to save a buck. Better than paying full price though!
@drchops: I like them.
It gets a price to be free overall or substantial savings normally not given, simply because the customer isn't lazy. If everything was just free everything would be sold out. But if a company uses MIRs, they make money off the lazy, forgetful, people and not me.
It's pretty simple to not have a problem... FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
and make sure your mail will not be forwarded within the expected time period (USPS doesn't forward 3rd class mail- MIRs included).
It depends on what it is for, how much and in what form the rebate will be given. I do rebates at Menards all the time because I know I will be shopping there again.
Hate 'em with a passion and if I'm patient, can usually find just as good a deal without all the hoops.
@dropzone9540: Agreed. Hate Them. Too much hassle and potential to forget. Lost/unused Gift cards and mail-in rebates account for so much money that is wasted (stores/restaurants love it).
I hate them and pretty much will not buy something with a MIR
@jsoko: That actually makes sense. (see: HP TOUCHPAD :) )
They are Lame Lame Lame...
MIR= Mission Impossible Rebate. Hate it
The good!!!!! Is a great idea!
You mean like Frys?
The ad comes out on Friday. I buy the item on Sunday.
The instructions say I need the Frys receipt, the MIR form from Frys, the other one from the manufacturer, the product's box endflap, and a piece of the front of the box.
Oh yeah, the MIR is good for a week- from Friday- so if they haven't received and processed the forms by the next Friday you're SOL.
BUT! I have brand new spam trying to fill my inbox!
I use them when I can manage to get the paperwork, receipt, etc. all together in one place with an envelope and a stamp. Not using them feels like wasting money, but, in general I find them to be an annoying nuisance.

Giving girls an opportunity to have fun and learn a few things is the idea behind the summer day camps that recently wrapped up at the YWCA of Steubenville.
The three sessions of the camp available to girls in grades one through eight ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday on June 11-13, June 18-20 and June 25-27.
The camps were held at the YWCA located at 320 N. Fourth St., Steubenville.
Article Photos
Among participants in the recently concluded girls summer day camp sponsored by the YWCA of Steubenville who enjoyed swimming at the Steubenville High School pool in addition to other activities were, seated, from left, Tiarra Williams, Jayda Stinson, Amie Smith, Maeve Gray, and standing, Miea Lucas, Rachel Farrister, Nevaeh Flenniken, Isabella Shust and Yajaira Rodriguez.
-- Janice R. Kiaski
"We had pretty good participation," said Marlyn Neeley, executive director of the YWCA, of the program that attracted 26 girls, many first- and second-graders.
Neely started the camp in 2000, and while the girls played games, did crafts, danced, enjoyed sports and had swimming time at the Steubenville High School pool, they also learned about healthy eating, for example, and participated in a self-esteem building game called "What I Like About You." It incorporated diversity training and involved identifying and appreciating good traits in each other.
Y-Teen volunteers were on hand to help with the camps and will have their own crack at a first-time camp later this month just for them.
The Y-Teen group at Steubenville High School is sponsored by the YWCA and has 35 members. The Y-Teen camp will be held July 24-26, "a day camp for bigger girls," Neely said of the program for the high school teens.
They, too, will have some summer fun time for activities such as swimming but also will learn to bake and how to prepare meals, including revamping a recipe, tweaking the ingredients, for instance, to make a healthier version of it. Some other activities will include skin and hair care, dressing for success and assistance in filling out applications for college and grants to attend.

Mixed Emotions For Rangers As Season Ends
BOSTON—Once the Boston Bruins' Gregory Campbell backhanded the puck into an empty net here at TD Garden on Saturday, finishing off a 3-1 victory and finishing off the Rangers in five games in these Eastern Conference semifinals, every Ranger delivered a different reaction to the realization that a season puffed with great expectations would end an empty husk.
Coach John Tortorella stood behind his players, his arms crossed, betraying nothing. Defenseman Ryan McDonagh chopped his stick down across the crossbar with such force that he broke off the blade. And Henrik Lundqvist, having been on the bench for an extra attacker when Campbell scored with 50.4 seconds left in regulation, trudged back toward the net, swinging his legs slowly as if they were leaden, only to return to the bench seconds later to bury his head in his bulky goaltending gloves.
"It [stinks]," said forward Ryan Callahan, the team's captain. "No worse feeling."
When this truncated NHL season began in January, the Rangers had been a fashionable and logical pick to represent the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup Finals. After compiling the best record in the East and advancing to the conference finals last year, they had acquired superstar forward Rick Nash, presumed to be the final puzzle piece they would need to win their first championship since 1994, from the Columbus Blue Jackets in July. Lundqvist was coming off the best season of his career, one that included his winning the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goaltender, and it was reasonable to think that the Rangers' most promising young players would develop into significant contributors.
But the Rangers never found their stride during the regular season, and to replenish the lineup depth that he had sacrificed to get Nash, general manager Glen Sather made another blockbuster trade with Columbus, this time getting three players for talented forward Marian Gaborik. The infusion of those players, particularly center Derick Brassard, stabilized the roster and helped the Rangers push past the Washington Capitals in the first round. Dealing with the Bruins was a different matter, though, and the depth and talent of Boston's four forward lines, coming at the Rangers' defensemen and Lundqvist in wave after wave, ground them into sand over the five games.
"I expected more from us, yes, and I hoped for more," said Lundqvist, who made 29 saves Saturday and—in an all-too-familiar scenario for the Rangers—was the only reason his team didn't lose by a wider margin. "But the way the season went…Last year a lot of things went our way. We had a lot of confidence. This year, we had to work through a lot of things to get going, and it came down to the last few games. It was a different season."
Against the Bruins, the Rangers were without two key players who, had they been healthy, might have countered the advantages in size and aggressiveness that Boston maintained. Forward Ryane Clowe missed the series with a concussion, and defenseman Marc Staal played in just one game after March 5, when a puck struck him in the eye during a game in Philadelphia. But regardless of whether Clowe and Staal were available, Tortorella said his team never attained the levels of energy and edginess necessary to make a deep postseason run. "There was never a lack of effort with the club," he said. "At the beginning of the series, I thought there was a lack of awareness of how high you have to be in the second round with your level of play."
Tortorella also blamed himself for failing to "get our top players to play consistently," and a scan of the Rangers' playoffs stat sheet made it clear whom he was referring to. Nash, who scored a team-high 21 goals during the regular season, had one in the postseason. Brad Richards scored once over the first 10 games before Tortorella benched him for the final two. Though their goal Saturday, by defenseman Dan Girardi, came on the power play, the Rangers scored just four times in 43 man-advantage situations, and in two-thirds of their games (eight of 12), they scored two goals or fewer.
In contrast, Boston rookie defenseman Torey Krug had four goals in the series' five games, tying Game 5 early in the second period by blasting a slap shot over Lundqvist's left shoulder. Campbell then gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead 10 minutes later, capping a Boston counter-rush after Rangers defenseman Roman Hamrlik turned the puck over on an outlet pass. Eight and a half minutes into the third period, Callahan sprung free on a breakaway, but Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask paddled away his backhander, thwarting the Rangers' last, best chance to save their season.
"The hardest feeling is when it's over," Lundqvist said. "In the next couple of days, you're going to analyze things, figure out what went wrong, what you can do better. You try to learn from it. But right now, it's just disappointment."

Let V be the space of real polynomials of degree at most 1 with inner product defined by $\langle p,q \rangle = \frac12\int_{-1}^1p(t)q(t)dt.$ Define $\alpha\in End(V)$ by $$\alpha(p)=p(0)+p(1)t.$$ Find the adjoint endomorphism $\alpha^*.$
For this problem, I am wondering about several things. First, I know that $\langle\alpha(p),q\rangle= \langle p,\alpha^*(q)\rangle$. I wasn't sure if I could assume that $\alpha^*(q)=r+st$ for constants $r,s$. But I think I can since the adjoint is also an endomorphism. So, I attempted to compute $\alpha^*(q)$ by first defining $q(t)=m+nt,$ and I found $\alpha^*(q)=(m+\frac13n)+nt$. If this is even correct, I wouldn't know how to turn this into an expression for $\alpha^*(q)$ in the way that $\alpha(p)$ is defined.
Or should I determine a matrix representation for $\alpha$ and take its conjugate transpose? If so, how does that new matrix translate to an expression for $\alpha^*(q)$?
Thank you for your time in helping.

5 Literary Classics That Put X-Rated Movies to Shame
#2. Anne Frank's Detailed Sex Talk Freaks Out Uptight Parents
Andrew Burton/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The Book
Considered one of the most important books of the 20th century, The Diary of a Young Girl cataloged the innermost thoughts of teenager Anne Frank as she hid with her family for two years in an office building during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. This private diary detailed her fears, her coldness toward her mother, and her family's daily struggles to remain unseen. So why the hell is it on this list?
The Filth
Well, it was also a private diary of a teenage girl as she went through puberty. And yes, all those italics are very necessary.
Andreas Rentz/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"I'm just glad tens of millions of strangers will never read these private thoughts."
Anne Frank never assumed that anyone would read her diary. The majority of the book is absolutely focused on the Nazi occupation, but there are certain other parts where the author ponders her developing body. There are the detailed descriptions Frank gives of her own genitalia, namely exploratory passages like "There are little folds of skin all over the place, you can hardly find it," "I simply can't imagine how a man can get in there," and "The hole is so small you can't even put your index finger in."
Hey, she called it like she saw it.
Once the war was over, Otto Frank, Anne's father, edited the diary for publication. He kept roughly 70 percent of the original text, while removing references to sex and anecdotes about Anne's mom being a shitty parent. But the unedited version became available later, and some parents have complained to school boards about the book's sexual content. Yes, it's far more upsetting to hear a teenager frankly discuss puberty than her impending internment and genocide.

#1. Where's Waldo? Is Filled With Nudity, Sexual Harassment
The Book
The children's series Where's Waldo? (also known as Where's Wally? in some markets) is beautiful in its simplicity. A nerd in a striped sweater is hidden in a cluttered tableau of people. The reader must find him, his nerd-girlfriend, his nerd-dog, and his nerd-wizard, or live with deep, nagging shame the rest of his days.
The Filth
As hidden as Waldo was, quite a few disturbing things were not.
OK, but that's just one mildly filthy Easter egg. It's not like there's anything else ...
Oh look, a naked clown on a pogo stick? Well, two pictures don't constitute a trend ...
Yup, that's a bunch of middle-school peeping toms looking at a topless woman in a dressing room. In the same picture we have ...
... a woman getting her dress sucked off by a vacuum cleaner.
But probably best of all, in one ancient Rome-themed edition, we have a man about to be violently mounted by a leopard while he simultaneously murders another man:

How do I beat the end-boss in Borderlands?
I just recently completed the game so it's still fresh in my mind. There are three places you need to hit the end boss. The best way to do that is from behind the arch you came into the map. I've tried to fight from behind the pillars in the middle of the field but died...
Useful weaponry: * Longbow grenades (The only ones you can hit it well with) * Sniper rifles (I think shock did pretty well) * 11001010 cannon or what ever the name was exactly (infinite ammo = very handy towards the end) * Rocket launcher
You can see a pattern here: distance distance distance.
Alright. The first thing you have to target are the glowing purple orbs in the tentacles. As long as the tentacles are around they shoot missiles at you in periodic intervals. And let me tell you those hurt! Only weapon suitable for this is the sniper.
Second thing is the tongue. The boss has a vertical mouth. Once you've destroyed the tentacles this thing starts opening on occasion and a tongue shoots out trying to hit you. You have to hit that. Best way to do it is the sniper gun. If you manage to time it right you can use the 11010101 or RPG.
When you have destroyed the tongue the eye part begins. Occasionally the eye opens and shoots a bright beam at you. When it does that the eye becomes an easy target. You can hit the eye in between attacks too but it requires rather good aim. From time to time the tentacles will grow back again and you'll have to shoot them off a few more times so it's important that you save enough sniper bullets for that and use the slower ranged weapons for the eye.
At the start of the fight "The Destroyer" has some purple tentacles that throw explosive spikes. Destroy these tentacles as soon as you can by shooting the glowing orbs near the base of each tentacle. For the rest of the fight it's best just to use a pillar for cover and shoot it in the eye. It takes a long time but he's basically a bullet sponge.
Whenever tentacles show up, shoot them on the orbs. When they're not around, hide behind the pillar and shoot him in the eye. Use one of the super-powerful scoped pistols until you run out of ammo, then switch to a scoped rifle. Accuracy is important since hits to places other than the eye and the tentacle orbs don't count. Be patient — it takes a while.
Aim for the mouth. You can even shoot the mouth when it's not open, as long as you aim in. Break a tentacle by shooting the glowing, violet cyst, but you should save these to fuel any on-kill skills that you may have or to get a Second Wind when you're fighting for your life.
Comparison: Shooting at the mouth
Shooting at the eyeAs you can see, I run out of shotgun shells and can't even kill the Destroyer if I shoot it in the eye, but this is not the case with the mouth. And in contrast to Kempeth's answer, I don't keep my distance; I try to get as close as possible to minimize the amount of projectiles missing.
What about safety? The Destroyer continually attacks and its attacks include firing missiles that rain down from above and that stick to what they hit, exploding a bit after landing. You're either agile in the open or edging, trying to find a covered angle in which you'll be safe to plink away until you have to move from the spike missiles.
Borderlands speed-runner (Speed Demos Archive) Youkai gives advice too:
He says that breaking the tongue opens the mouth. Then he throws in his explosive bouncing betties which deal enough damage for the Destroyer to go through the stages of "clawing out" the portal, during which the Destroyer does not attack.
I found that you can kill it simply by shooting the tentacles anchoring it on each side. It takes a lot of ammo, and a Scorpio won't target them, but you can safely hide behind a pillar and whittle down the boss.

The high school football playoffs begin today in Ohio and are a week away in West Virginia.
Oak Glen finished its season a week ago with an outstanding 9-1 record and now waits to learn its playoff fate.
Brooke seeks a return to the postseason with a win over visiting Morgantown and some help.
Madonna looks for a win over host Clay-Battelle for a chance to host a playoff game.
Weir High continues to hunt for its first win of the season against one-win Tyler Consolidated. Here's a look at today's games:
Indian Creek at Big Red, 7:30
Make no mistake, the Redskins are a really good football team and do not visit Harding Stadium by accident.
They have won six in a row and the two losses are from teams that are a combined 18-1.
Coach Andrew Connor's squad is 20-9 since its last visit to Harding, which came in Week 1 of the 2009 season.
Indian Creek is making its first playoff appearance since 1996 and won its first Buckeye 8 football title in school history.
The Redskins are basically playing their seventh-straight playoff game because it has been win-or-stay-home since starting the year 2-2.
Big Red, obviously, is no slouch, winning another Associated Press Division III title and is the Region 11 No. 1 seed for a reason.
Steubenville had a nice, relaxing game a week ago and the rest was needed.
Death Valley should be loud and proud on every side of the stadium.
Indian Creek is a well-rounded team and Big Red will be the quickest team the Redskins have faced since the last time they played Steubenville.
Morgantown at Brooke, 7 p.m.
The Bruins must win this one and get some help to play next week.
After a bad start, Brooke has found its stride since the second half of the loss to Wheeling Park.
The running game has been good, but the passing game may be the key tonight.
In addition the Bruins have to keep a Mohigan team in check whose two losses are to Big Red and Martinsburg, both undefeated.
Madonna at
Clay-Battelle, 7:30
Although the Blue Dons are shorthanded, a chance to host a playoff game is in the balance.
A win and a game at Jimmy Carey Stadium is staring them in the face. A loss and, hi-ho, hi-ho it's to the playoff road they go.
A team can only ask for a chance, and this is Madonna's chance.
Weir at Tyler
The Red Riders need 48 minutes of everything to have a chance to win, because the Silver Knights sure are not going to hand them a win. Tyler Consolidated won its first game of the season last week and now Weir High looks to do the same.The numbers are up for the Red Riders.

In certain dark corners of computer science and group theory, one often wants to prove that a language is not a regular language (ie a language accepted by a finite state automaton).
The only general technique I know for doing this is the so-called "pumping lemma", which says that if L is a regular language, then there exists some n>0 with the following property. If w is a word in L of length at least n, then we can write w=xyz (here x, y, and z are subwords) such that y is nontrivial and xy^{k}z is an element of L for all k>0.
This lemma basically reflects the trivial fact that in any directed graph, there is some n such that any path of length at least n contains a loop.
Question : are there any other general techniques for proving that a language is not regular?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Moscow Sting (Hardcover)
July 2010 Indie Next List
"Alex Dryden writes spy novels that put him on the same level as such illustrious predecessors as John Buchan and Eric Ambler. Like the classic writers, his work is taut, intelligent and frighteningly topical. The story of Russian defector Anna Resnikov and the machinations on all sides to use her and her knowledge is the perfect sequel to Red to Black and a perfect example of how excellent the genre can be."
— Bill Cusumano, Nicola's Books, Ann Arbor, MI
When Finn, a former British spy, is poisoned by a Russian assassin, his ex-boss Adrian, the chief of MI6, wants vengeance. He also wants answersinformation that only Finn's widow knows. But Anna, a former KGB colonel who betrayed her country for love, vanished with her child shortly after Finn's death.
Adrian isn't the only one eager to find Anna. Finn accessed intelligence so sensitive that the KGB killed to protect itand now Anna is in the KGB's crosshairs, as the only person who knows the true identity of the Kremlin insider, superspy, and double agent called Mikhail. The CIA and Cougar, a giant American private intelligence company, are also hunting her. With the Kremlin still in the grasp of all-powerful Vladimir Putin, Mikhail is the West's best hope for revealing Russia's obscure intentions for its newfound oil wealth.
Anna holds the key to the secrets of her motherland, and now the former Russian agent faces her greatest test. To secure her freedom and protect her child, she must uncover the full truth before anyone else doeseven as friend and foe set her in their sights.
Moving from Paris to New York, from the Kremlin to the American Southwest, Moscow Sting is an absorbing and timely tale of intrigue, betrayal, fatal lies, and complex truths, told with the authentic detail and chilling insight of an experienced insider.
About the Author
Alex Dryden is the pseudonym of a British writer who worked for the British security services. He has had extensive first-hand experience with Russia for many years. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Red to Black and Moscow Sting. The Blind Spy is his third novel.
Praise For…
"Moscow Sting suggests [Dryden] has finished the crossover from journalist to full-fledged thriller writer. Keep an eye on Dryden. If he continues to infuse the genre with serious political insights and warnings, he could be the next John le Carré."
-Richmond Times-Dispatch
"MOSCOW STING is a gripping, action-packed insider's view of modern day espionage with a clever twist at the end. Ex-KGB Colonel Anna Resnikov is a terrific heroine, who I hope will return with future adventures."
-Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author of SUPREME JUSTICE
"Engaging and fast-paced thriller."
-World Magazine
"Dryden follows up his superb debut, Red to Black (2009), with a riveting sequel... Red to Black reinvigorated the classic Cold War espionage genre. Moscow Sting, with its clever, devious, conflicted characters, its tension and verisimilitude, and its complex but fully plausible plot, is every bit as good."
-Booklist (starred review)
"Alex Dryden is a writer who can please everyone from fans of old LeCarre to students of current affairs. MOSCOW STING is a thought-provoking and entertaining follow up to the terrific Red to Black. No sophomore slump here."
-James Grippando, New York Times bestselling author of MONEY TO BURN
"This follow-up to Dryden's debut thriller, RED TO BLACK, is a rarity: a sequel as good as its exceptional predecessor... An exceptional spy story. Boy, is this good!"
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Pseudonymous Brit journalist Dryden is back with another fine neo-Cold War spy thriller, the sequel to RED TO BLACK (2009)…This book stylishly carries the story forward…A twisty, persuasive, action-packed thriller."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Hands down, one of the most convincing spy stories you'll ever read."
-Lisa Black, author of TRAIL OF BLOOD

Lately, I have been being highly unproductive, almost 70% less. What are some of the things you guys do to get back on track?
closed as too broad by AsheeshR, Raystafarian, THelper, Rory Alsop♦ Mar 21 '14 at 10:31
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm unproductive when:
So things I have on my list of things to do when I'm 'blocked' are:
EDIT - to add to this - simply having a 'list of things to do when I'm 'blocked'' is pretty useful, as well as having enough awareness to recognise it when it happens....
1. Do something small.
Start building momentum by doing small things. It will help you get back into productivity.
2. Remove what makes you unproductive
Are you watching too much TV? Are you playing video games too much?
Whatever it is, take it away temporarily.
Take away the free time. I always think that more free time means I will have more time to work. It is the opposite. The less free time I have, the more I will value it as potential work time, and the more I will get done.
Right now I have a very easy schedule with LOTS of free time, and it is incredibly difficult to get motivated to do work, since I have such an abundance of time.
Why you are unproductive is critical to solving what to do about it.
If you are productive at work and unproductive at home, very likely you are resisting something. It could be a relationship that needs work or you could hate doing housework or it could be that your body just wants a chance to recharge first and you are expecting too much productivity. Figure out the cause here and the solution becomes more obvious. Realtionship issues are often at the heart of things like this becasue people can be very passive aggressive.
If you are unproductive at work and not at home, you likely have a work issue. You amy be in the wrong career or you may be in the wrong company or you may feel overwhelmed or not challenged enough. Each of those has a different solution.
If you are unproductive everywhere I would suspect a physical issue such as lack of sleep or illness (espcially depression, but many other illnesses also have fatigue as a symptom) or unrelenting stress (such as being a caregiver or living with an alcoholic). If this doesn't resolve with more sleep or you have any other physical symptoms which might lead you to suspect illness, get to a doctor. If you suspect depression or stress consider getting psychotherapy.

At Least 3 Die in Bangladesh Clashes
At least three people were killed in clashes with police in Bangladesh on Sunday during a nationwide general strike called by Islamist opposition parties, police officials and doctors said.
Hundreds of opposition activists clashed with police in the Singair area of Manikganj district, 70 kilometers west of Dhaka, the capital.
They were protesting what they see as blasphemous comments by demonstrators at Shahbag Square, a Dhaka boulevard where separate protests have been going on for three weeks.
The Dhaka protesters, backed by influential bloggers, have been calling for the death sentence for Islamist politicians found guilty by a war-crimes tribunal looking into atrocities committed during the country's 1971 war of independence. On Feb. 5, the tribunal found Abdul Quader Molla, a senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, guilty of crimes against humanity. The court sentenced the Islamist leader to life imprisonment, sparking the Shahbag rallies and counter rallies by Islamists in recent days.
All three bodies brought to hospital Sunday had bullet wounds, according to doctors at the district hospital in Singair. Dozens were treated for a variety of injuries following the confrontation, doctors said. Locals said five people, including a woman, had been killed.
The latest deaths bring to at least 10 the number of people killed in fighting with police across the country since Friday, when Islamist parties started to agitate against what they see as insults to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad from Shahbag protesters.
The unrest has highlighted the deep rift in the mostly Muslim country between the secular Awami League party of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the conservative Islamist parties that are part of the opposition alliance.
"The bloggers who lead the Shahbag protests have been posting vile comments online about God and the prophet," said Shafique Uddin, a leader of the Khelafat Majlish, a party composed mainly of teachers and students from Muslim schools called madrassas. "It is our duty to protest this as Muslims. But when we were doing so, policemen opened fire on us."
A police officer at Singair police station, who declined to be named, said the police had to act after protesters attacked them.
The issue of blogs that allegedly ridiculed Islam came under the spotlight after Ahmed Rajib Haider, an online activist who was a self-professed atheist, was killed in front of his home in Dhaka on Feb 15. His family and friends blamed Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamist party, for the killing. Mr. Haider had been at the forefront of the Shahbag protests.
The Jamaat-e-Islami denied involvement. But conservative anger grew over blog posts that many Muslims said insulted their faith. The issue has united Islamist parties, which have often had political and ideological differences with Jamaat-e-Islami. Eight of the 10 suspects indicted by the war-crimes tribunal are from Jamaat-e-Islami, an ally of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
The protesters at Shahbag, where hundreds of thousands have demonstrated against Islamist politicians accused of war crimes, say their protests aren't against Islam.
The protests underscore the deep divisions in Bangladesh over the 1971 war. Many middle-class urban residents with secular outlooks back the calls for harsher sentences at the war-crimes tribunal. Islamist parties, meanwhile, draw support in rural areas.
Human-rights groups have said the trials fall short of internationally accepted standards of justice, something that the government denies.

Transmission UpgradeWritten by on April 1, 1997 Installing A Borg-Warner Six-Speed Into A Musclecar
The fun stops at the end of the onramp. Your hi-po small-block spins up to 3500 rpm as the speedo needle settles at 60 mph, and a Yugo honks and blasts by on the left doing 80, hoisting the single-digit salute. Sure, you can beat anyone up the onramp and in brief forays to Ludicrous Speed, but the thought of traveling more than five miles at a normal highway pace is out of the question.
Sustained high speeds bring images of bearings wearing, valvesprings fatiguing and every other engine part screaming in pain. Its more than your nerves can take. Thats what you get for 4.11 gears and no overdrive: low e.t.s and great fun around town but living hell on the freeway. But take heart, HOT ROD has the answer. Swap that antiquated nonoverdriven gearbox for the latest in high-tech O.E.M. hardwarethe Borg-Warner T56 six-speed.
The T56 is the same unit that comes in new Camaros, Firebirds and Dodge Vipers, and Borg-Warner is now offering an aftermarket version to fit older cars. Whats so trick about it? The T56 not only offers overdrive, it offers two overdrives. In the aftermarket unit, Fifth gear is a .84:1 ratio and Sixth gear is .62:1.
Borg-Warner designed the aftermarket T56 so that it bolts directly in place of a T5 five-speed, so installing one in your T5-equipped late-model Camaro or Mustang is no big dealits almost a straight remove-and-replace procedure. Still, we wanted to know what would be involved in bolting the T56 into an older street machine with a conventional clutch and manual linkage, so we set about the task of bolting it into a 69 Camaro. While we wont kid you and say that it was an easy two-hour project, we will tell you that its not that tough.
Pricing depends on the independent distributors that will be selling the T56, but at the time of this writing, it was in the neighborhood of $2500. Midwest Truck & Auto Parts, D&D Performance and Perfection Hy-Test are the three known distributors at this time. Compare that price to other aftermarket or factory five- or six-speeds (most notably the ZF) as well as a bulletproof four-speed overdrive automatic trans, and youll see that the T56 is an affordable swap. Weve also featured the other two six-speeds on the market: the ZF (found in Corvettes) and the Richmond Over Drive (ROD) six-gear. Borg-Warner also has the T56 for Ford applications, but its a different unit than what were profiling here.

Unless the clutch system is being converted to a hydraulic setup, an '83 Camaro/Firebird T5 bellhousing (GM part No. 14060627, middle) or equivalent scattershield must be used with the T56, since the '84-and-up T5s (bellhousing shown on left) had hydraulic-clutch setups. The '83 T5 bellhousing is no longer produced by GM, so scour the wrecking yards (we found this one at Marv's USA, Hollander Interchange No. 784), or use a Lakewood part No. 15015 T5 scattershield (right), which is what we did for safety reasons. The scattershield may also be mandatory if you run the car at the dragstrip.The aftermarket T56 comes with a 1/2-inch-thick adapter plate (and corresponding 1/2-inch-longer input shaft) to bolt it up to a T5 housing. The T5 is angled 18 degrees to the left (which you can see by the mounting flange on the stock T5 bellhousings), but the T56 doesn't need to be tilted. The adapter plate allows the T56 to bolt up and corrects the tilt, installing the trans almost straight up. Currently, the adapter is only drilled for a T5 pattern, however, Advance Adapters will offer redrilled plates with conventional bellhousing bolt patterns (such as a Muncie), so the T56 should bolt right to an existing musclecar housing. The adapter plate bolts to the bellhousing with four countersunk metric bolts (they're supplied with the trans) and to the transmission with eight bolts. The throwout-bearing collar bolts to the bellhousing side of the adapter plate.The T56 has the same 26-spline input shaft as the T5, so T5 clutch components can be used. For our installation, we used a Centerforce Clutches flywheel and pressure plate and a Dual Friction disc. Centerforce recommends a Mr. Gasket part No. 3855 adjustable clutch-fork pivot ball to work with the aftermarket scattershield, and the clutch fork is from an '83 Camaro (GM part No. 14037647).We were also converting from an automatic, so we had to install pedals and clutch linkage, which are available from Classic Industries. The engine in our car was an externally balanced 400 small-block, so we had Jim Grubbs Motorsports match-balance the flywheel to our flexplate.The O.E.M. T56 units all have electric speedometer connections, which obviously won't work with older cable-operated speedos, so the aftermarket T56 comes with a redesigned tailhousing that accepts a cable drive. Use a T5 housing and a plastic driven gear. The stock '69 cable threads on and works fine, but in the case of our Camaro, it was about 3 inches too short.A 27-spline driveshaft yoke from a T5 or TH350 is necessary with the T56. The driveshaft must be shortened (approximately 4 inches in our situation) and rebalanced.The T56 comes with this shifter but without a knob. The handle-mount spacing is the same as for a traditional Hurst shifter handle, so any of Hurst's 30 or so handles will bolt to the T56 shifter, which may be handy in some odd swap situations or in a bench-seat car. By the time you read this, Hurst should also have a complete bolt-on shifter for the T56. On the Camaro, the shifter came through the floor right at the rear opening of the stock console shift plate, so the console must be relocated back about 3 inches to be used.This solenoid (arrow) mounted on the left side of the box at the rear, just under the shifter, is the electric reverse lockout. In a production application, the car's computer powers up the solenoid when the car is traveling less than 5 mph, but in a noncomputer application like ours, there are two choices. One is to use a momentary button, either mounted on the shift handle or in the knob. B&M, Hurst and NOS have shift knobs with integral momentary buttons, usually for a line-lock or nitrous, and they can be wired to the solenoid using a GM part No. 12101857 connector. The other choice is to ignore it. The lockout plunger is spring loaded, so at speeds under 5 mph, a decent side effort on the shifter (approximately 20 pounds) will compress the spring and allow you to get into Reverse. This solenoid hit our transmission tunnel, requiring some hammer work on the tunnel.
The backup light switch is on the passenger's side of the trans (near the bellhousing) and requires a specific connector: GM/Delco part No. 12085485. Wire it into the stock backup-light wires for the car, which in our case was in the console harness near the stock automatic floor shifter.As big as the T56 is, we expected serious trans-tunnel hacking to be mandatory, but that wasn't the case. A rectangular section at the tunnel kickup was removed, as was a square section for the shifter. The photo shows the rough cuts (the edges were cleaned up with a die grinder and the hole covered with a recontoured plate).A machining locator (arrow) used during manufacturing hit our Camaro floorpan, so it was ground off. The floorpan could also be dimpled with a hammer.The crossmember was the tricky part. Our TH400 crossmember required so much surgery to work with the T56 that it was easier (and cleaner) to fabricate a new one. We couldn't use the stock mounting holes either, because that would require some bizarre bends in the crossmember, which would compromise its strength. Therefore, we had to fabricate a 1-inch tubular crossmember that mounts to the subframe right next to the body bushings. The bottom of the T56 mount is 1-1/4 inches lower than the TH400 we removed, so the crossmember needed that much drop built in to maintain the proper driveline angle. The trans mount accepts a T5 or other GM non-TH400 mount with a 3.75-inch bolt spacing. We used a TH350 mount because it has two mounting bolts at the crossmember, whereas the T5 mount uses a single bolt. The bolts used to fasten the mount to the transmission are metric M10x1.5x30. HR

Not working again.. I reset all the settings to default in IE and still no go. I have no group policy added and IE is at default. WTF? Anyone have any ideas on how to get this script to work. still not grabbing the document.location.. just appending the pr number to the end of the current working directory.
Try window.location.href or simply location.href instead of document.location, and tell me the result.
Tha'ts Cool

I usually run sound from my laptop through my headphone jack into a mixer so I can listen to music through my big PA speakers. The moment I upgraded the OS, however, it stopped working when plugged in, no audio at all. Sound still comes through the laptop speakers when unplugged, though. I dual boot, so I logged into Windows and the sound worked fine. What should I do to fix it?

Currently I shot on D3x / D3 with 16mm fish-eye on R1 Adjustable Tilt Ring Mount.
And I am of course more then happy with results :)
However due to bulkiness, weight, constant need of heavy tripod / monopod it limits my mobility, but also rises questions with security authorities and just too much attention from general public.
Today Sony launched NEX-7 camera, with its 24mpx it looks like really nice camera for pano, but has only Samyang 8mm (Samyang CS-VG10) lens. Olympus E-P3 and Panasonic has its Panasonic LUMIX G FISHEYE 8mm F3.5.
So my quastion is, if I today sell Nikon gear and move to EVIL cameras, what is the best combination to be used on R1?..
For me #1 priority is auto-stiching in PTgui

How does the Holographic Principle help to establish the fact that all the information is not lost in a black hole?
As I said in the comment, the information is not lost simply because of the holographic image at event horizon. This was the result of a long 20 year battle between Susskind and Hawking. Susskind had the final laugh!
I suggest you to read the wiki pages: Black hole information paradox,Holographic Principle
I'll quote an excerpt from wiki,
The Holographic principle is one manifestation of the ADS/CFT correspondence - it's mentioned in the Wikipedia article you cited. The correspondence means that the same black hole can be described using a 5D string theory and a 4D (supersymmetric) field theory. The two are just different ways of describing the same object. In the 5D string theory black holes look quite simple and it's obvious there is no information loss, so we can be confident that there is no information loss in the 4D description either.
So far so good, but no-one knows how to describe the information "no loss"in 4D. Susskind's proposal is possible, but I'm sure he would agree it's not a proof. If someone could work out exactly how the "no loss" in 5D is described in 4D that would be quit a step forward.
I would expect the resolution of this dilemma to hold no relation whatsoever to AdS/CFT, being it specific to anti de Sitter spaces, which makes it irrelevant to our universe (unless someone proves an analog version for de Sitter spaces, which seems unlikely)
see this answer for details about an alternative resolution.
