I'm running Mac OSX and trying to use the command line to find the number of files I have with the same name.
I tried to use the following command:
find ~ -type f -name "*" -print | basename | sort | uniq -d > duplicate_files
It doesn't work! When I do the following:
find ~ -type f -name "*" -print > duplicate_files
Then duplicate_files does contain the paths of all my files. So I think the issue is with
basename - it doesn't accept standard input. I then tried the following:
basename $(find ~ -type f -name "*" -print) > duplicate_files
but again that doesn't seem to work. Search on the internet doesn't seem to yield much joy. Any thoughts most welcome.

In my notes it says
"The ideas of impulse and momentum is useful in solving problems where:-
a) the force F is not easily calculable (e.g. sudden impact or blow)
b) the impulse force is so large that the body suffers deformation (i.e. the impact is no longer elastic)
There is no explanation for what is said. When I think about it, force is the rate of momentum. How/why could we calculate momentum for small amount of time (sudden impact), but not calculate force?

I want to see a plot of closed time-like curve in $(t,x)$.
$t$ - vertical axis
$x$ horizontal axis
(the usual setting just neglect $y$ and $z$ components of $(t,x,y,z)$).
What does it look like?
I want to see a plot of closed time-like curve in $(t,x)$.
$t$ - vertical axis
What does it look like?
You cannot look at a curve through space-time and say whether or not it is time-like without considering the metric. At each point in space-time the metric defines the boundary of the local increments that are time-like. Another name for this boundary is the light cone. If, at each point along the curve, the tangent of the curve lies inside the light cone at that point, then the curve is time-like. If the curve is also closed, then it is a closed time-like curve. For solutions of Einstein's equation with massive bodies, the metric gives rise to a warped space-time, and for any choice of coordinates the light cones will be different from point to point. But for ordinary cases, there will still not be closed time-like curves. However, for some solutions, such as within the event horizon of a spinning black hole, there are closed time-like curves.
So, a short answer to the question is draw a closed curve on the plane. Then draw little light cones along the curve. Since there are only two dimensions, each light cone looks like an x, and you can shade two opposing regions to indicate the forward and backward time-like regions of each x, which can be labeled + and -. The curve should consistently go through the center of each x from - to +, and not go through the unshaded (space-like) regions of any x. Then you can say you have a time-like curve. But without all those local light-cones, you can't say one way or the other whether your closed curve is time-like.
Also, it would then be misleading to label the axes x and t, since you now just have general coordinates, and globally, neither one is completely time-like or space-like.
Just draw any closed (in common sense) curve -- it will be CTC.

Unanswered: Date column in the grid displaying date as in String
Hello Team,
With respect to the request raised in Q&A(http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...s-4.1&p=906871).
We having an issue with the Date column in the grid. We using a custom datepicker which will show only the MONTH and YEAR. Our system will calculate the date depends on the requirements.
My grid has the date value, when i want to modify it by clicking the datepicker, the datepicker is not showing the cell date value, instead it is displaying blank for the first time. And then it is displaying the selected value in the datepicker on further modification.
Please note:
The same datepicker is used by another grid by the xtype as datacolumn where it is working fine as expected. We are facing the issue only in the dynamic grid.And also the format config is not working for the Date column, so we converting the date value as per our desired format dd-mmm-yyyy by a function and it will return the value as string.
Find the screen shot attached for this issue.

Thanks for you response!...
When data comes from the server side, my store has all values and displaying in the grid properly.
While modifying the date in the client side, Not sure on that. Because we calculating the date for the selected Month and year, and manually using set method to set values.(date column belong to the associated model, that's why we using set method to set the value to the record)
7 Dec 2012 3:08 AM #4
After implementing the below code, all the value and rawValue has been modified with my new dates. But the monthpicker is not display the value which I set to it. By default it is showing current system date as selected and the textfield is empty.
var cellEditing = Ext.create('Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing', {
clicksToEdit : 1,
listeners : {
'beforeedit' : function(editor, e, eOpts) {
if (e.record.get('leaf')) {
if(e.colIdx > 4){
var montheditor = e.column.getEditor(e.record,null);
var dateValue = e.record.myDates().getAt(e.colIdx - 4).get('date');
e.cancel = true;

Affordable Remote Computer Repair & Proactive Monitoring
Support for home and business users
Online remote supprt is the practice of having your computer worked on by a technician over the internet. The technician can view your screen and move the mouse and keyboard safely from a remote location as easily as if he or she was there. Online computer support is FAST! It's more convenient too! Receive help quicker without having to bring your computer to our shop or wait for a tech to arrive to you. Best of all it's more affordable. Our costs are much lower than sending a tech to you…. this lets us charge you much less for the same high quality service as you would receive from an onsite technician.
This service is safe and secure. When you connect to one of our technicians, the connection is the same high level of security used when transmitting sensitive information online like when using online banking or purchasing from reputable retailer. Also, you are in complete control of the remote session and can take control of the mouse anytime or you can end the session immediately.
There are times when an online remote session will not be adequate to remedy a particular problem. In those cases you can bring your PC to our shop or we will schedule an onsite technician to be physically sent to your location.
We will always work with you to make sure you're satisfied with our work. Please understand the volatile nature of computers, and that some problems can be recurring but not necessarily due to poor service. For example some computers are reinfected with the same virus or spyware after a user repeats the same actions that got the system infected in the first place. We will work with you to complete the job to your satisfaction.

It will also alert us proactively about conditions that may indicate a problem or issue that could lead to a problem in the future. We can configure our monitors on a number of diffrent criteria and peripherals like printers, backup hard drives, tablets, websites, email service, etc. . .
When an alert is triggered we are immeadiately notified and our technical staff works to proactively resolve the issue, many times before it causes down time or malfunction.

On Site Computer Repair & Services
On-site computer services are available to business and residential customers and include any number of things, like hardware replacement or repair, hardware upgrades and Internet or networking issues, virus and malware removal and much more.
Some of our customers use our on-site computer service to supplement their own staff or even other support arrangments that do not fully cover their computer systems, servers, network or other portions of their IT needs. For many other businesses without any on site support staff or service agreement they need on-site service for computers or other hardware, servers and firewalls in their offices or just a simple one time computer repair at home.

Our crews cannot only remove any threats from your system, but will also install the proper software to prevent another attack from happening in the future.

| Bloch, H. P., Hydrocarbon Processing Staff,

Purists among reliability professionals are sometimes
concerned about the accuracy of the measurement of the
mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) of an asset. There are many
ways to conduct this failure frequency rate assessment.
Fig. 1 represents a multi-site major refining company. This figure
demonstrates that the corporate reliability engineers are
making reasonably accurate affiliate-to-affiliate comparisons.
However, some petrochemical and refining companies make a
distinction between repairs and failures. As one engineer

classification of repairs vs. failures when tracking rotating
equipment reliability. As I see it, there are
basically two structures or philosophies: asset or

The purpose of all this is to maximize plant profitability. Profitability is determined by two factors, revenues and operating costs. MTBF and MTTR both need to be tracked at least at the "whole machine" level. RAM modeling then allows us to use this data to predict and optimize overall throughput of the plant. By tracking at the "whole machine" level, we can then identify and rank the bad actors in terms of relative impact on profitability. Tracking at the component level is important if we want to improve overall MTBF and MTTR of each whole machine. This could be done by assigning a code number for the root cause of each downing event.
Cristián Schmid
Very interesting and helpful information. Thanks!
Abdulrahman Alghamdi
Very helpful thank you Article
Jason Micas
The intent of tracking MTBR is so that you have some measure of weather or not you are improving. So long as you do it consistantly (and don't cheat the system) you will still see if you are improveing. Personally, I have always counted a repair if you have to do LOTO to do the work. This would imply that you have to take the pump out of service and it is not available to operate. The reason you want high reliability is so you can produce more product, have less operational distractions and safety. I have always prefered to fill seal reservoirs (Plan 53) with the pump off- I do not count this as a failure because with a pressurized refill cart I can fill it while it is running but sometimes it is easier to just turn the pump off- same goes for bearing oil changes.

Two Bowling Green Organizations are joining forces to create business and develop downtown Bowling Green.
The Downtown Redevelopment Authority and the Fountain Square Business Association are merging.
The DRA began 35 years ago with a focus on the needs of downtown merchants, and now it says it's getting back to its roots.
"It's like one hand washing the other. By doing this merger, we're basically bringing together both organizations that are after the same thing, but we'll just be more effective," said Downtown Redevelopment Authority Executive Director Ron Murphy.
Murphy says one goal is to bring more residential spaces, believing they will in turn draw in more business.
The DRA will be announcing plans for it's new marketing and branding plans within the next few weeks.

Loomis Library History
The first account of a library in Loomis is in the Spring of 1910. It is believed that Anna Blemmer and Helen Dearborn established this first lending library which they ran out of the Bluebird Tea Room. All of the books were privately owned and were loaned out to patrons who paid for the books by the day. As time passed and the Loomis community grew, the demand for books increased. The county library in Auburn was contacted to help. In February of 1937, the library branch was opened in the Loomis Post Office with Mrs. Stacker as the first Branch Manager. The Branch was only open 9 hours a week and the pay was $15.00 a month. In 1954, the library moved to the McKellips Building and remained there until 1963. The library continued to grow and the need for a larger building increased. A new building located on Library Drive was dedicated on August 24, 1980. The library is 4488 square feet.

About a week ago, I planned to write a post for The Uptown Lounge about Chris Brown's 2010 comeback. I have been very impressed by the progress he's made since THE INCIDENT, which was almost two years ago. He did his community service, he cried at the BET Awards, he's nominated for 3 Grammy's for a mixtape song, and he completed his court ordered domestic violence course. Chris really made strides to get back in the public's good graces, and then…he regressed for a few hours. The problem is, those few hours have sparked a negative media frenzy that will probably once again put him back in America's proverbial dog house. Not sure what I'm talking about? Maybe you don't have a Twitter account.

Reviewer: Heather Jones, MD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: September 29, 2002
Rosell R, Gomez-Codina J, Camps C, Maestre J, Padille J, Canto A, Mate JL, Li S, Roig J, Olazabal A, et al.
N Engl J Med 1994 Jan 20;330(3):153-8
The classic paper by Rosell et al addresses one of the more vexing issues in the treatment of lung cancer patients (ranking among many); the management of stage III disease in non-small cell lung cancer. In part, the controversy exists because many retrospective publications and small randomized trials have addressed a wide range of stage III subsets with inconsistent pathologic documentation of the nodal status. However, the critical question differs for two distinct groups within stage III patients:
1. In the group with minimal, nonbulky disease, initial surgical resection has been the standard of care. These subsets include T3N0 or N1, and non-enlarged N2 on CT scan. The debate here is whether preoperative chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy improves survival over surgery alone.
2. For the group with bulky disease, chemoradiation is the current standard of care. These tumors include bulky N2 disease on CT scan, N3 disease, and T4 primaries. The debate in this group is whether surgical resection after induction chemoradiotherapy improves outcome over chemoradiation alone.
The Rosell et al paper falls into the former group.The study design
This phase III trial addressing the effects of preoperative chemotherapy on the survival of patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lug cancer shows that preoperative chemotherapy increased the median survival of these patients.
As noted earlier, this strongly positive trial in favor of induction chemotherapy has generated much discussion and debate. One must consider when reviewing the Rosell et. al. trial that only 60 patients were a enrolled. We know that N2 disease was not required for eligibility and mediastinoscopy was not mandated if the mediastinum was negative on CT scan. In the study, 25 of 30 patients in the chemotherapy arm (83%) had mediastinoscopy, whereas only 19 of 30 patients (63%) in the surgery alone arm had mediastinoscopy. This leaves open the question of under staging of the surgery alone patients. One also wonders why the surgery arm did so poorly in this trial; despite the fact that 37% of them had N0 or N1 disease. This trial closed early due to the marked survival differences noted. However, it is not clear whether the early stopping rules for this very small trial accounted for the strong potential influence of even slight imbalances in substage or molecular prognosis between the arms.

From staff reports
Sixteen men and women faced lengthy prison terms after being convicted in September of hate crimes in the hair- and beard-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in Bergholz.
The trial focused on an internal dispute within the Amish community and offered a rare glimpse into the closed and usually self-regulating community of believers.
Samuel Mullet Sr., 66, the leader of the Bergholz-based breakaway group, was found guilty of orchestrating the beard and hair cuttings, which prosecutors characterized as an attempt to shame members of the Amish community who he believed had strayed from their beliefs. His followers were found guilty of carrying out the attacks.
A rival bishop told jurors his chest-length beard was chopped to within 1.5 inches of his chin when four or five men dragged him out of his farmhouse in a late-night home invasion. Other witnesses described how sons had pulled their father out of bed and chopped off his beard in the moonlight and how women surrounded their mother-in-law and cut off two feet of her hair, taking it down to the scalp in some places. Witnesses also testified that Mullet had complete control over the settlement that he founded two decades ago and described how his religious teachings and methods of punishments deviated from Amish traditions, including testimony that he'd coerced women at his settlement into having sex with him and had men sleep in chicken coops as punishment.
The hair cuttings, Mullet said, were a response to continuous criticism he'd received from other Amish religious leaders about him being too strict, including shunning people in his own group.
The defendants, including six couples with about 50 children between them, were convicted Sept. 20 in U.S. District Court after four-and-a-half days of deliberations. They faced 20 years or more in prison for their convictions. They face sentencing in a Cleveland federal court on Jan. 24.
In other news in September:
Nearly 2,000 Roman Catholics from throughout Eastern Ohio greeted their new spiritual leader Sept. 10 with prayers, songs and shouts of "Hallelujah" during a three-hour ordination and installation ceremony in Finnegan Fieldhouse at Franciscan University of Steubenville.
"I am grateful to be your shepherd. Our faith is meant to be proclaimed and to be shared, I am delighted to be your bishop. I am yours," said Bishop Jeffrey M. Monforton during remarks at the close of the ceremony attended by two cardinals, the Apostolic Nuncio from Washington, D.C., 25 bishops from across the country and 115 priests.
The audience responded with a thundering standing ovation that lasted for several minutes.
The 49-year-old Monforton, a seminary rector and parish priest from the Diocese of Detroit, was named bishop-elect on July 3 to fill the vacancy created in 2011 when former Bishop R. Daniel Conlon was assigned to the Joilet, Ill., diocese.
Retired Steubenville Diocese Bishop Albert H. Ottenweller died Sept. 23 at the age of 96 following a brief illness.
Ottenweller had been living in Toledo since his retirement as bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Steubenville.
Diocesan Communications Director Pat DeFrancis said Ottenweller was one of the oldest living bishops in the Catholic Church.
Weirton's park board gave historic Margaret Manson Weir pool a reprieve, agreeing to give a community group time to obtain grant money to research the feasibility of preserving its unique architecture and return it to operating condition.
In September, the park board agreed to table demolition of the aged structure indefinitely and authorized preparation of a memorandum of understanding spelling out its willingness to lease the property in its entirety to the nonprofit Marland Heights Community Association.
The delay represents a dramatic change of course for the board, which previously had voted to proceed with demolition of the unique structure.
Heavy Duty Industrial owner Rick Glass said he would be expanding his work force for the second time since his Jefferson County operations center debuted earlier in the year.
Glass said he'd be adding "10 or 20 people" at his Wintersville location, even as he geared up for what he hoped would be a major new business initiative - supplying the oil industry with fresh fracking and drilling water drawn from a 4.5-acre pond on a 26-acre property he was purchasing in the Youngstown area. The pond "butts up to the Mahoning River," he said, adding he already has the permits he'll need to do it in hand.
Glass originally planned to have up to 50 employees on the job locally by year's end, but passed that benchmark months ahead of schedule in June.
During the first seven months of 2012, local leaders say job growth and tax collections were up significantly in Jefferson County. At September's meeting, the Community Improvement Corp. board and Progress Alliance Partners were told that 1,053 more people were employed in Jefferson County in July than at the start of the year.
Likewise, the county's sales tax collections were up nearly $403,000 for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same six-month period a year earlier.
Olympic great Mary Lou Retton, who captivated audiences with a gutsy gold-medal winning performance in 1984, stepped in as keynote speaker at the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce's annual membership banquet.
A West Virginia native, Retton stepped in after the chamber's original speaker, internationally renowned composer Marvin Hamlisch, died unexpectedly of lung failure.
Retton, the first American woman ever to win Olympic gold in gymnastics in 1984, told the crowd winning Olympic gold six weeks after knee surgery was "one of the most incredible moments of my life."
The wine was flowing, the music was relaxing and the festivities engaging during the third-annual Friendship Wine and Food Festival in September despite the threat of rain.
The two-day festival featured local food vendors, nonstop musical entertainment and a slew of vintages made by Ohio wineries. Roger Hilty, who at the time was the festival co-organizer and member of the Friendship Park Board, said that while all was going according to plan, there's no guarantee the festival will be back in 2013.
"The festival is in jeopardy for next year," he said. "We are hoping for more support from the public and sponsors for this great event."
Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland visited the Obama/Biden re-election headquarters in Steubenville on Sept. 10 to make the case for the president's re-election.
Strickland, also serving as President Obama's national campaign co-chairman, made the stop along with Fred Deel, former director of the Office of Appalachia. During the stop Strickland made an impassioned case for re-electing President Obama over Republican rival Mitt Romney, and why that would be good for Ohio and Jefferson County.
"Ohio is at the center of this election," said Strickland. "No Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio. That's why this is so important."
Two repeat offenders charged with stealing telephone wire in Jefferson County were sentenced to jail.
Vernon J. Jackson, 29, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by Judge David Henderson after pleading guilty to single counts of receiving stolen property and disrupting public service in connection with the theft of telephone wire in the spring.
A codefendant, James A. Roe, 29, of Mingo Junction, who pleaded guilty to charges of complicity to theft and disrupting public service, had previously been sentenced by Henderson to 24 months in prison.
The pair also was ordered to make $84,000 in restitution.
The two men had been charged with stealing more than 1,000 feet of telephone wire from poles in the Steubenville-Mingo Junction area, leaving hundreds of people without phone service.
Authorities said Roe was already on probation after pleading guilty to taking about 1,000 feet of telephone cable in November 2009 in the Toronto-Empire area. He was sentenced to six months in the Eastern Ohio Correction Center and placed on 18 months of probation.
Jackson was sentenced to a year in prison in 2008 after pleading guilty to stealing telephone wire in the Montwell Drive area of Mingo Junction.
Jefferson County commissioners told Smithfield officials they're expected to keep up with their water bills until the county's takeover of the beleaguered system is finalized. The county had proposed taking over the system and forgiving $150,000 owed to the county, but county Sanitary Engineer Shannan Gosbin said they'd continue to bill the village for water until the deal was finalized.
Commissioner Tom Gentile said the takeover will allow the county to make improvements to Smithfield's water system, and pointed out the county also would be able to expand the water system in the south end of the county, while Commissioner Thomas Graham denied suggestions by a Smithfield councilwoman that the county planned to sell the water system to a private company.
Shane Young, 32, of Steubenville was sentenced to four years in prison by Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge David Henderson after admitting to two counts of robbery and one count of burglary.
Young admitted to robbing two businesses - Dollar General on Hollywood Boulevard and the University Boulevard BP gas station - within a 45-minute period July 27.
He became a suspect after his wallet was found in the Dollar General parking lot, police said.

Security for Marathons Could Include Drones
Along with Gatorade cups and portable toilets, could drones become the next must-have marathon sideline accessory?
Boston Police commissioner Edward Davis is already thinking ahead to security at next year's Boston Marathon, after bombings at last week's race left three dead and hundreds injured.
"Drones are a great idea," Davis told the Boston Herald on Wednesday, citing the low cost of the unmanned vessels as a way to enhance aerial surveillance of the marathon course. He didn't specify if any formal discussions were taking place to secure drones, and a spokesperson for the Boston Police Department didn't immediately return a request for comment.
Security at the race is subject to annual review by the BPD, Davis said at a news conference in Boston last week.
After the 2012 race, Davis said, officers determined that increased security presence was necessary, particularly at the finish line, due to larger crowds. At the time, he acknowledged that the marathon finish line was a "soft target" for the bombers.
Mary Wittenberg, director of the New York City Marathon, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal this week that she is "always touching base" with the NYPD to update their security plans.

The answer to Latin jazz: anticipated chord change on last beat provided by Ulf Åkerstedt raises another question: I have written a son bass line, and I realize I have a rumba clave on the drum set. Is this something legal, or is there a specific bass line pattern for the rumba clave?
A lot of salsa tunes use rumba clave instead of son and the bass tumbao is used the same in both. However, it doesn't match quite as well because the last beat on the three-side of the rumba clave occurs on the 'and' of 4, whereas the bass tumbao usually plays the anticipated note on the 4. Of course, the bass can emphasise the 4+ as well if desired.
I agree with @Ulf that anything is legal, since this is music! But if you want to sound more authentic then it's worth getting the rhythms right I think. As I said in another answer, the Salsa Guidebook by Rebeca Mauleon is a fantastic resource and well worth buying if you're interested in playing latin music.
There's actually some disagreement on that actually... People do it all the time... play clave in "afro-Cuban" or any & every "Latin" "style", usually if they're that vague about it... everything just starts sounding "Latinish".
I used to play in Caribbean bands all the time and there's a big difference in how those drummers & percussionists differentiate styles from one another as compared to the Jazz guys. I have definite memories of them saying there is no clave in Cuban music... of course you have to realize that they are differentiating between African "bell patterns" & Brazilian clave (the instrument... wooden stick form). While related and similar... the patterns don't fit exactly the same (or are even in the same time signature)... and you don't use the same instrument. (But what the heck do I know... I'm a guitarist) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clave_(rhythm)
Oddly... it's obviously inherent somewhere in the music (well... not in Boleros apparently, and some other "folkloric" styles...), but it's obviously in Songo...
It took me awhile to remember the name of the groove/style this is called, but it's Songo... That's a great site by Kevin Moore called timba.com... it is a veritable encyclopedia of the history of Cuban music since the 40's, it's divided into 3 parts, the roots of Timba I, II, and III, the only reason I mention this is because sub-navigation on the site is on the right of the page, I found it confusing at first, but he's got the complete development of Cuban grooves notated in a really neat "contextual" way.
They start in the 40's and trace every example of the evolution of Cuban music with a basic notation and links to music examples as well as a complete tracing of the evolution of "Drum Set" in Cuban music beginning with Changuito.
I can't find the page link right now... I was reading this a few months ago and there was a mention of tumbao figures up to 4 measures in length (I'll look for the source, I think there may have been an example)
My previous comment earlier...
Is kind of an outsider's view of the topic... but reducing a Cuban drum groove to just the clave itself doesn't really represent the bigger picture of what's going on.
As a funny somewhat related story... a friend of mine spent a month studying in Brazil at a couple different Samba "schools"; I remember his comment that they didn't even think of any of the rhythm's starting on "1", or that there was even anything called "1" in music... 4/4 what??? cut what time??? I guess my point is that trying to identify these things from a reference point of "Western" or "European" concepts of time signature really cloud the issue and can lead to fundamental misunderstandings concerning the nature of another culture's music.
Oh... see how you like just a quarter note guagua rhythm, something has to be "on the beat" if you want something else to sound "off the beat". (Kind of like trying to add "altered notes" to a tri-tone sub... it's already altered... if you alter it again... it just ends up diatonic in the end.)
On the pages describing the grooves on the Timba site you'll see it notated in context…

ARKANSAS FOLKLORE FALL, 1965 Marsha Templeton
Marsha Templeton: This is Mrs. Anna Laura Dickinson
telling about El Dorado during the Boom Days in requirement for Marsha Templeton's project for Arkansas Folklore, Fall Semester, 1965. It was recorded December 30, 1965.
Mrs. Anna Laura Dickinson:
In January of 1921, when the Busey well blew in, a
great depression was sweeping the whole United States,
the depression following World War I. Suddenly the news
of the discovery of a new oil field was flashed throughout
the United States and people flocked here to make money
quick or even to make a living.
One of the examples was Roy Coates, who was a young
student who had just graduated from the Conservatory of
Music in Chicago. He came to play at the Old Majestic
Theater in the orchestra. He organized his orchestra right
there. He came, had no job, he had been walking the
pavement in Chicago for months.
Another person who came was Par McKnelly, an attorney,
who came down to Arkansas in 1905 during the time that
Huttig was being built. He came down as a common labrorer
after he had graduated from the University of Indiana in
law. He took the want to lust again after he had been inEl Dorado a number of years and went to Arizona to work in mines. He heard the flash and he came back to El Dorado to open a law practice again. He was prehaps the most successful lawyer that Union County ever had. An Irishman and typical in every manner--large, rotund, robust with all the wit and all the ingenuity that a successful lawyer would have. He kicked the dust of the mines of Arizona off his feet and came back here and practiced successfully the rest of his life.
People came from all over the country. Suddenly,
El Dorado grew from a town of around 2500 to 3500 to thirty to thirty-five thousand. They slept on the streets they slept in the corridors of the hotel. T. P. Marks had come down from Hot Springs and leased the Garrett Hotel the year before at a very modest figure. He made a fortune selling cots for $5 a night to sleep. People would stay up until they could not stay up any longer.
They would pay any price for a place to sleep.
Hamburger stands sprang up between the curbs and the street from the Courthouse clear down to South Washington, down to Hillsboro. People came in buggies; they came on horseback; they came in old jalopies; and they came in T-model Fords; they came by the railroad. Most of them came by the train. Among those who came by railroad were Colonel T. H. Barton. He came as a boomer; he left his

mark on the whole state of Arkansas. He was one of the most successful leasehounds El Dorado ever had.
Another one, who came to open a gambling dive, was H. L. Hunt. He came from over at Lake Village and he opened a gambling joint and he got into the leasehound business. He was a very successful leasehound broker and organized one of the best companies in El Dorado and became a very fine substantial citizen. There's an old mansion on North Madison and Euclid and Smith that is where he built his home when he became rich. During the Depression of 1931 he left El Dorado and went to Texas with the East Texas field where he made the greatest fortune of any man in the world, prehaps, in oil. He's the largest independent oil operator prehaps in the world. And he had his start in the oil business here in El Dorado as a boomer. He's a great person. He has his wonderful loyalty to his friends here in El Dorado that have known him always.
People came from all ranks of life. The good, the bad, the depressed, and there was a part of El Dorado out East that was very lucrative fields that came in. There was a part West where most of the bootlegging, because that was the days of Prohibition, and most of the gambling was done. There were barrelhouses, there was a place called the Chicken Shack that was out on College Avenue. This

was a place way out in the woods in those days where they served all kinds of drinks and had lots of loose women. The place out near where the Bussey Well —there was a Shotgun Valley; Pistol Hill; that is on the West side. Most of the shacks that sprung up early were on the West side. The respectability was on the East side of El Dorado and now El Dorado is growing to the West. That's the expansion area of El Dorado.
El Dorado has been called the last of the Boom Towns
and why it was named El Dorado we do not know. But we
do know that back in 181O, 11, 12, and 15, when the wagon trains were walking, Marching, grinding, from North and South Carolina to the west then to Georgia, then to Carolina, to Alabama, and Mississippi, people would rush out in South Carolina and say "where are you going?" The reply from the wagon train "we are seeking our El Dorado."
That was the city of riches or the gold at the foot of the
El Dorado was planned and laid out by Robert Johnson Black and Hohn T. Hampton, who choose the site. They were both from the same little area of North and South Carolina where the lines join and it is prehaps that reason that they choose the name El Dorado and of course El Dorado became the city of liquid gold when oil was discovered.
Another interesting thing about El Dorado is Hernando
Page 4
Mrs. Anna Laura Dickinson (cont.)
De Soto camped where El Dorado at Champognelle Hill from November 154-1 to March 1542. He was seeking gold and on this site of where he camped there was Ho gold as he knew it but there was the liquid gold, the black oil in the bowels of the earth underneath where he camped and today an oil well is pumping.
El Dorado settled down after the Boom. At one time they said there was a 100,000 persons here. Whether that is true or not we do not know because no census was taken.
A 1923 city directory shows a population of around 23,000.
We do know that El Dorado was at one time a great big sprawling tent city. Killings were numerous. There was slayings almost every night. People would be killed in brawls and fights. But out of all of this there came the substantial, stayed, growing community that we have today. We have still the oil industry and it is still a constant supply of approximately the same number of barrels produced year in and year out around in this area. We have the economy of stable oil, stable by-products of salt water, we have lumber, chicken industry, rubber plant, ink plant, and, we have become out of the Boom Town of the early 1920's a very substantial growing community of about 28,000 persons.
Our lowest ebb after the boom was reached when oil was discovered in Tyler and Bast Texas, Longview and Kilgore and people left here like H.L. Hunt, Mr. Pete

Lake, and a number of others. They went to the new oil fields that were discovered and it has been reported that half of the population of El Dorado left in that time and of course, we had only about 15,000 in 1935-6 according to the city directories. So we are growing back to our height.
There were many incidents everybody in El Dorado from the B. W. Reeves home to the Albert Rowell home opened their homes to people coming in to live. They rented rooms. Rooms were rented at fantastic prices. These hamburger joints flourished.
The only pavement in El Dorado at that particular time was atound the courthouse square. In the muddy streets out on Hillsboro and going north to the Smackover fields the entire teams of mules would drown in the mud.
I know of one incident and I have a picture of the team that drown. There were eight mules to the wagon pulling the heavy equipment and they all drown up at Smackover On the streets of Smackover, in the mud, the muck, and the marrow, they would marrow down, there was no hoist to lift the mules out of the mud. Mules have drown in the streets of El Dorado during the days of the Boom Days. The heavy oil field equipment that was needed to carry out to these wells to drill, caused the wagons to sink deeper, and deeper, and deeper, the mud to go deeper, and
Page 6
deeper and the mules to sink up in the mud and there was no way to get them out. They struggled and died in the mud. It was a harsh period.
Prostitues came, preachers came, and there were many songs and verses that came out of the Boom Days of El Dorado. Many substantial people came and they stayed and contributed greatly to the development of El Dorado. Among those of course, were T. H. Barton and his friend Dutch Meinert and the others that came with them. They carved and made the Lion Oil Company. The Root Petroleum Company was another one that was organized. These refineries are still operating and are still a great asset to our community.

I've noticed that Steam gives me the option of creating a desktop shortcut and start menu items at the end of an installation. I always say no thanks to both because I like starting my games from Steam. But recently I've grown fond of just pressing the windows key and writing the name of the application I want to run, so I'd like to add start menu items to my Steam games. But how do I do that after the game is already installed? I can only find an option for creating a desktop shortcut, which is not what I'm after.
From your Steam library, right click on a game and select "Create Desktop Shortcut."
You can then drag the shortcut onto your Start Menu. If you just drop it here, it will become "pinned" to the Start Menu, and you can access it quickly.
If you hold your cursor over "All Programs" for a couple of seconds, the menu will expand. You can then drop it into any of the folders, or leave it in the root of the "All Programs" listing.
If you want, you can also open the Start Menu's folder, and organize it with Windows Explorer. Where you'd normally type to search, type %APPDATA% and hit Enter. This will take you to the following directory:
Then navigate to:
Microsoft -> Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs
Any shortcuts you drop into this folder will show up on your Start Menu, and any folders you create here will be created on your Start Menu as well.
Note that Steam shortcuts are protocol shortcuts - like links to URLs, and not program shortcuts - like links to an application. If you move your Steam installation, they won't need to be updated. However, if you uninstall Steam, shortcuts to your non-Steam games that were created through Steam will probably cease to function.
You can also make the old style shortcuts if you're on Win XP with the right click-->New-->Shortcut, with the following path: (Steam directory path)\Steam.exe -applaunch (game app ID without brackets).
Then right click on the shortcut-->Properties-->Change icon, find the game icon/exe in the game folder in steamapps/common and select the icon.
To find out a game app ID, just go to that game's store page and you'll see it in the URL. For example, store.steampowered.com/app/211720 (bold number is the app ID).
Alternately, there is a folder called Start Menu found in the ProgramData folder, found by default at C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu.
Simply drag your shortcut into this folder.

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- The defense and prosecution handling a double murder case in Riley County involving a mother and child continue to prepare for an upcoming murder trial.
A pretrial hearing was held in Riley County District Court Friday, May 11, 2012 for 24-year-old Luis Aguirre.
Aguirre could face the death penalty if convicted of the 2009 murder of his girlfriend, 18-year-old Tonya Maldonado, and the couple's 13-month-old son Juan. He's pleaded not guilty to capital murder.
Police say Aguirre killed the mother and son around Sept. 19, 2009, then buried them in a shallow grave near Ogden. A hunter discovered their naked bodies more than a month later on Oct. 25th. At first, authorities thought Tonya was the only one in the grave but once the exhumation process got underway, her baby's remains were also uncovered.
Aguirre moved to Ogden within a year of the killings. His girlfriend and son were from the Chicago area.
Riley County authorities arrested him in Austin, Texas on Oct. 30th. Prosecutors indicated that the murders took place in Ogden and during the lapse between the deaths of Tonya and Juan and when their bodies were discovered, Aguirre had relocated to Texas where he was living with his new girlfriend and her parents.
In a previous hearing, Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson shed light on what the state believes was the motive for the murder, saying that for Aguirre, Tonya and their son had become an "albatross." Tonya delivered Juan in 2008 and Aguirre had moved to Ogden. She was desperate for money, living with her baby in a homeless shelter and needed money. She wanted a family and wanted Aguirre to support them. In late September 2009, prosecutors say Aguirre picked up his son and girlfriend from the homeless shelter and brought them to Ogden to the house where he was living with his new girlfriend and a short time later, they both ended up dead.
Authorities have never released how the mother and her baby were killed and Wilkerson only briefing touched on what the state believes happened, saying Aguirre claims it was all a "misfortunate accident during a struggle over tightening blankets too tightly." But while Aguirre says he did not intend to kill them, Wilkerson says the state thinks their murders were premeditated. Wilkerson says Aguirre could not break free from his girlfriend and move on with his life, like joining the Army full time and the prospect of having to support them was hanging over him.
During Friday's pretrial hearing, Aguirre's attorney, Jeffrey Wicks, along with Riley County Assistant Attorney Barry Disney and Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson discussed several motions in the case. Judge Meryl Wilson is overseeing the proceedings.
One of the motions dealt with the search of Aguirre's storage shed after the killings. Disney says after the bodies of Tonya and Juan were discovered in Ogden and identified, authorities made the connection to Aguirre and went to Austin, Texas to interview him where he told them that he put his son's belongings in a storage unit. Police obtained a search warrant on October 29th, 2009 for the shed and searched for DNA, clothing, personal items and trace evidence. The defense argued that police took whatever they wanted and grossly exceeded the scope of the search warrant, making no effort to determine whether any of the items actually belonged to Tonya and Juan. Wicks added that the search and seizure was a "general warrant" and therefore, anything that was taken should be suppressed so that it can't be used as evidence during Aguirre's trial. Disney says detectives took only seven pieces of clothing and 50 other items that are considered trace evidence (hair, fibers). After interviewing Aguirre again, officers went back to the storage shed on November 2, 2009 and took a black duffel back as well.
Judge Wilson said the search warrant on October 29th was valid since police did not have any information about the clothing Tonya and Juan might have been wearing on or around the time they were killed. Their bodies were found unclothed in the grave. The judge, however, did agree to suppress any items seized in the black duffel bag on November 2nd, saying police were not authorized to take the bag.
Judge Wilson also ruled to allow photos of Tonya and Juan taken when they were alive as well as autopsy and crime scene pictures to be shown to the jury during Aguirre's trial. The defense argued that the pictures could bias jurors and sway them against Aguirre but the state said the photos will be used by their expert witnesses to identify the victims and support their findings and observations when they take the stand during the trial. Judge Wilson said the pictures were not repetitious and that every murder trial has gruesome photos that are necessary to show the jury how the victim or victims were found.
Luis Aguirre's trial is set to begin on June 5, 2012 with jury selection. Opening statements and testimony are expected to get underway June 18. It could last up to four weeks.
He is being held in the Riley County Jail on $2.5 million bond.

Are "computational biology" and "bioinformatics" simply different terms for the same thing or is there a real difference?
I found this post by Russ Altman quite good. Below is his opinion about the two similar but distinct fields:
Just as a note:
This is just one persons opinion and I have heard many other definitions for both of these terms. For example, one person I know mentioned that he believes computational biology is concerned with very theoretical research such as NP-hardness (ie. articles published in the Journal of Computational Biology). Other people think that bioinformatics is an applied field that is essentially using already published tools.
I think this question is on topic here, although yes you would definitely get a lot of answers at BioStars. But consider this from the bioinformatics tag wiki on this site.
Case in point: @GWW's answer cites two different definitions, while another has already been suggested in response to his answer (as a comment). More definitions are sure to come from additional answers, comments, and edits. None of these definitions are necessarily wrong, but in the same way none are "right" as there is no objective way to determine which of the definitions is "better" than the others. If you were to ask 5 experts in the field, you are likely to get 5 different definitions.
Computational Biology - usually involves creating a model (software or other logic) where you attempt to shed light on some process of biology by building information flows using known physics/chemistry/biology --- (how to cells divide ? -> build a biomechanic model of mitotic spindles ...) --- You are building up complexity in your model to simulate biology
Bioinformatics --> measure biology then analyze the data --- biology already has the complexity --- You are attempting to understand this complexity

The number of individuals constituting a population is called population size. Over time population size does not remain constant, it fluctuates to different extent over generations because of several internal and external factors. Populations with violent fluctuation in population size are called unstable and are more prone to extinction as they hit lower population sizes frequently. And once a population in extinct, it is gone for ever. Thus it would be interesting to investigate how population stability evolves.
I guess you meant the population size stability.
It is considered that the biosystems will increase their capacity of adaptation when evolving in very fluctuating environments. I believe the population stability is embedded in the adaptability of individuals.
There is a measurement about it, evolvability, when the environment changes, the faster the population adapted to the new environment, the higher evolvability it has. This means that if the population has higher evolvability then the population may be more stable to environmental variation.
Even so, there might be plenty of underlying mechanisms to enable a certain population stability. I recently read a paper about two mechanism: phenotypic switching and sensing machinery, which are common in bacteria and fungi. Please refer to Edo Kussell and Stanislas Leibler's science paper (2005).
As the organism increase its complexity, biosystems invented many more tools to make the individual survival from disasters. Such as human's intelligence. Well it would be an endless issue.

text: Heart-healthy eating anyone can do By Mindy Probst March 09, 2013 When it comes to taking care of your heart, what you eat can play a big part. Increasing your intake of fiber, fish and fruits/vegetables while watching which fats you eat can help you take good care of your heart. Fiber Fiber plays an important role in maintaining the health of your heart. Fiber can help lower your cholesterol and assist with better control of blood sugar. Another benefit from adding fiber to your diet is that it helps you stay full for a longer time which helps promote weight loss. Fiber comes from: whole grains dried beans fruits and vegetables. Fat Monitoring the sources of fat in your diet will help promote good heart health. Watch out for saturated and trans fat. They can clog your arteries and raise your cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are found in: bacon red meat sausage whole milk butter Trans fats come in: some fried foods stick margarine shortening packaged foods made with hydrogenated oils To help your heart, try to stick with the following oils instead. They provide good sources of unsaturated fat: olive oil canola oil avocadoes walnuts almonds Fish Adding fish to your diet can aid in heart health by providing you with Omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3 has been found to help lower triglyceride levels, reduce the risk of blood clots, lower blood pressure levels and reduce the overall risk for heart attacks. Salmon is an excellent source of these beneficial fats. Other fish that would make a great part of a heart healthy diet include: mackerel tuna herring lake trout. Aim for 2 servings of fish per week. Fruits and Vegetables Fruit and Vegetables are a healthy part of your diet because they are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are also high in potassium which can help you lower your blood pressure. Try to eat 5 servings a day!

Flex value cannot be set for some HBOX elements
I have a Container that holds another Container, and a Form Panel, using HBOX layout. Flex can be set on the chlid Container, but not on the form panel, via Designer. If I add "flex: 1" to the code manually, it works as expected. In general, Flex seems to have this problem -- it is not always there when you would expect it, and instead only the "MaintainFlex" property is available.

Does the parent container have a layout of hbox or vbox?
Child items get the flex configuration when their parent is configured with a box layout.Aaron Conran
6 Feb 2012 2:04 PM #3
Parent is hbox. Looks like this:
container (hbox)
--panel (vbox)
----field sets
--panel (fit)
----text area
The second panel doesn't have flex available through Designer.

Trying to read above....
and the second panels parent is a container with a layout of hbox?
Could you post a simple xds file that illustrates the issue?Aaron Conran
6 Feb 2012 2:24 PM #5
I used "duplicate" to copy everything and start paring it down to a minimal example, and the duplicated version works (while the original still doesn't). So, I have two layouts, exactly the same, and one panel has flex available and one doesn't. Very strange. I'll still see if I can distill what the difference is.
6 Feb 2012 2:33 PM #6
No luck. Saving it as a new file and then reopening it fixed the problem also. Maybe data corruption? Here is the file anyway. The "notes" panel had no flex property (across many saves and reopens - but saving under a new name seems to be different).
