The 5 Biggest Backfires in the History of Disaster Relief
#2. Saving an Endangered Trout (With Poison)
The thing that's most interesting about fishers/hunters/outdoorsy sportsman types is how much they have in common with die-hard environmentalists, even though they rarely vote the same way. Both groups are really into keeping the outdoors as pristine as possible, and both freak out when a species disappears. Which is exactly what happened when the westslope cutthroat trout vanished from Cherry Creek, Montana.
Pictured: The cutthroat trout. All fish look the same anyway, especially when battered.
The westslope cutthroat trout, in addition to having the most badass fish name ever, is the state fish of Montana and the only fish indigenous to the area. Unfortunately, overfishing, logging and general habitat destruction have wiped out many of the trout, and since the slutty westslope cutthroat likes to do it with other species of trout, they are hybridizing themselves out of existence.
The solution seemed simple: Why not eliminate the usurping fish and restock the waters with their rightful inhabitants? What could go wrong?
Assuming you've been paying attention, the answer is "everything."
How They Made It Worse:
Poison. Poison was how they made it worse.
Beginning in 2004, Montana Fish and Wildlife authorities began dosing a 60-mile stretch of Cherry Creek with a fish poison called rotenone to kill off the hybrids and non-native brook trout that destroyed their beloved westslope cutthroat. The idea was controversial from the get-go, especially since it was mostly funded by Ted Turner, who happened to own property around the creek and happened to be a fishing enthusiast, and happens to be hated by everyone who lives near his property.
He was also married to Jane Fonda. These facts are unrelated.
Here was how the plan was supposed to work: Part 1 -- Authorities would construct a barrier at the mouth of the stream so no more non-natives could live in Westslopia. Part 2 -- Authorities would poison the crap out of the foreigners who had the audacity to think they could start a new life in a place where they were clearly not wanted. Part 3 -- Authorities would restock Cherry Creek with genetically pure westslope cutthroat trout once the hybrids and uninvited were removed.
The brook trout were also told to sit in designated places on the bus and stop complaining.
Shockingly, things haven't exactly gone according to plan. In 2010, six years after the pisciciding of Cherry Creek began, something went terribly wrong. Namely, that something was rotenone, and it went wrong by traveling 13 miles past its intended target and killing 100 percent of the fish it came in contact with.
After a lengthy investigation into what happened, the Fish and Wildlife fellas just kind of shrugged their shoulders and said they'd probably never know what went wrong. Which is stunning, considering A) one of the possibilities was that the poison entered the groundwater before showing up 13 miles away, and B) the accident didn't deter future dosing in any way at all, because three more rotenone-dosing projects are in the works.
And then we'll just start throwing dynamite into the water, because fish are too fat and lazy nowadays.
#1. Fighting Water Contamination With Orange Juice
As any water treatment worker will tell you, water treatmenting is hard work. Sometimes the pipes all look alike; sometimes you've got to read or ask for help to know which is which. And sometimes you just have to take a wild guess at which pipe to pour your toxic chemicals into. Which is exactly what happened on July 6, 1988, in the British town of Camelford, when a substitute tanker driver showed up at the Lowermoor Water Treatment Works to deliver some aluminum sulphate.
His instructions were simple: "once inside the gate, the aluminum sulphate tank is on the left." What wasn't so simple was which tank on the left. Because there were several, and his key fit all of them. Also not so simple: the act of picking up a phone and double-checking, apparently, because instead of making sure he had the right tank, he decided to just dump 20 tons of aluminum sulphate into what we later learned was the town's goddamned drinking water.
Well, he couldn't just leave it lying around. It's toxic, you know.
So that was problem No. 1, which was a pretty hefty problem, considering that the sulphate turned acidic within hours of the mistake. One man reported that milk in his coffee curdled once it hit the acid in the water. Others complained of hair turning green and toenails falling out. And this was just in the days after the contamination.
Problems No. 2 through infinity got rolling in the aftermath.
How They Made It Worse:
After getting 900 complaints about the water's taste, the water company advised residents to cover up the water's acidity by diluting it with orange juice. What they didn't tell anyone was that the orange juice was actually making the acid worse. What they also didn't tell anyone was that they had confirmed exactly what was wrong with the water by July 12, when the original driver was summoned back to the treatment center. Yet they waited 10 whole days before putting a teeny-tiny notice in the sports section of the paper to let residents know what was up. So let's recap:
July 6 -- Driver pollutes the water.
July 12 -- After a week of calls and complaints, treatment center confirms poisoning.
July 22 -- The chairman of the water authority lets the public in on the little goof-up, via the sports section of the paper.
"So the score is 96 for 6 at the second over and whoops we've poisoned you our bad."
By now the acid running through the pipes of the city had stripped them of zinc and lead, so residents were literally bathing in a poison cocktail. So the next big piece of advice was to simply boil the water, hopefully so the metals would get burned and leave town in a huff. Unfortunately, toxic chemicals are not the same thing as bacteria, and boiling the water actually made them even more concentrated.
And even though the authorities were flushing out the pipes, it wasn't doing much good because the main tank hadn't been cleaned in three years. That's three years -- when they were supposed to clean it six times a month.
"That green stuff? It's, um ... herbs. Health herbs."
Needless to say, after a poisoning of this level the drinkers of poison water in Camelford don't get a happy ending. Some have died of cancer, others of a way-early onset of Alzheimer's and dementia. The residents who didn't straight-up die still report loss of brain function, premature aging and decreased cognitive abilities. One victim had to get a bone biopsy, and the doctor found a ring of aluminum in his bones, like the rings of a tree.
Like Wolverine, but your only power is to wrap sandwiches efficiently.
So you'd think Camelford's residents would end up with a billion-dollar settlement out of this disaster, right? Try 500,000 pounds total, among about 650 claims, with the highest claim hitting 10,000 pounds, or a little over $16,000. The judge in the settlement said they were "extraordinarily well advised to accept the offer," because he didn't think they'd get anything if they pursued more. So they didn't.
We hope you learned your lesson, Lowermoor Water Treatment Works.
"Let's all raise a glass to criminal negligence and -- oh, no ... wait."

My homework has tasked me with finding $x$ when $\cosh x=5/3$. I know that the solution is $\ln (3)$, but I can't figure out how to solve it myself. The furthest I can simplify it is the following:
$$\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2} = 5/3$$ $$ e^x+e^{-x} = 10/3$$ $$e^x = \frac{10}{3}-e^{-x}$$ $$x = \ln \left(\frac{10}{3}-e^{-x} \right)$$
Now, if I put this into Wolfram Alpha it tells me that the answer is $\ln(3)$, but it doesn't tell me how it solved that. Also, I'm guessing there may be another way to solve this by taking a different route than the above.

As I was preparing to write this "Did You Know" article, I chose to look up the definition of "gerrymandering" in order to provide a concrete definition. Several times over the years I would be having a conversation with someone and the issue of redistricting/gerrymandering would come up. Many people were not sure what that term meant.
I found the following on Wikipedia, (the democratic – as in collective – source of knowledge): "In the process of setting electoral districts, gerrymandering is a practice that attempts to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries to create partisan advantaged districts. The resulting district is known as a gerrymander. However, that word can also refer to the process. When used to allege that a given party is gaining disproportionate power, the term gerrymandering has negative connotations."
This is what Fairvote.org says about gerrymandering/redistricting: "Redistricting encourages manipulation of our elections by allowing incumbent politicians to help partisan allies, hurt political enemies and choose their voters before the voters choose them. The current process is used as a means to further political goals by drawing boundaries to protect incumbents and reduce competition, rather than to ensure equal voting power and fair representation."
I have included a picture with this article in order to show you what I believe is the perfect example of gerrymandering gone wrong. As you look at the photo, it isn't hard to see how little fairness and equal voting came into consideration. The right side of the "hook" was pulled in to make the district's Democratic influence weaker. This also has the added impact of weakening the neighboring districts as well.
Clearly manipulation took place when the Republican Party put this together. Don't get me wrong, there has always been some manipulation no matter which party is in power. This, however, seems to be to the extreme!
Some people believe that districts like the 86th are now so stacked that it would be nearly impossible for the seat to be taken over. I, on the other hand, believe that any district can be won by anyone if the work is done and the people are included in the process.

Should some teachers in classrooms be allowed to be armed?
The odds of having a gunman come to a classroom is like the odds of being struck by lightning or hitting the lotto.
Parents, teachers , administrators, and police need to coordinate a plan for a situation and move on with life.
ALICE is a plan, but not he only plan; only a suggested idea. Works better at high school and junior high, but definitely not in lower elementary.
Alert...good, Lockdown...good, information...good Escape....good; Combat not so good with little kids.
There is no way to out guess a looney and and spend millions of dollars on defense that probably won't ever happen.
Want to spend money give the teachers a raise, or buy new books, spend time teaching respect and responsibility and being prepared for the consequences for one's actions.
I think that a gun in a school is not a good idea. Personal opinion.

Positions for the Second Stage of Labor
The second stage begins when your cervix is fully dilated, your baby has moved deep into the pelvis, and you are ready to push. During the tiring second stage of labor, aid the effectiveness of your pushing with body positions such as kneeling, upright squatting, and being on all fours. Also see these positions for the first stage of labor.

I recently read the book 'UML Distilled' and found the sequence diagrams very useful. My question is that can we show 'data flow' as well on a sequence diagram? This is my first time on sequence diagrams.
Nice to see some examples if any.
UML: Sequence Diagram Tutorial
The data is included as the parameters within the messages. For example the instance buyersBank of the Bank class takes an accountNumber and returns the balance for the buyersBank instance.
I have highlighed the key points from the OMG specification. pg 491-494
<messageident> ::= ([<attribute> '='] <signal-or-operation-name> ['(' [<argument>[','<argument>]* ')'] [':' <return-value>]) | '*'
Examples of syntax:
mymessage(14, - , 3.14, "hello") // second argument is undefined v=mymsg(16, variab):96 // this is a reply message carrying the return value 96 assigning it to v mymsg(myint=16) // the input parameter 'myint' is given the argument value 16
v = attribute mymessage = signal-or-operation-name (16,vairab) = arguments :96 = return value

In what case you would say "I speak things" instead of "I say things"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I speak things means something like I proclaim things, pertaining authority, like I speak things into existence. I say things is way of normal discourse.
Which is only a problem if the things I speak have certain authority or effect. Usually I would use this phrase if the things I spoke had a proclaiming character and hurt a situation or person.
In ordinary speech, "speak" does not take a direct object. You can be speaking, you can speak to somebody, but to "speak words" or "speak a message" is unusual and I would say literary. (I except idioms like "speak my mind" and "speak the truth", and also the construction "Speak English", where the language looks syntactically like a direct object, but I actually think it is a verbal modifier, like an adverb).

The athletic department at my university has a facebook page and on it they said "the first 500 people to register for this event will get free t-shirts". When registering one has to create an account with a password, so that all programs they register for (now and in the future) will be billed to it. Since everyone is in such a rush I'm sure there's tons of weak passwords. Is this a viable target for an attacker? What could be done differently? Promoting to "register quickly!" is a real bad idea I realized.
There are two strong options:
Since the competition is being ran from Facebook, I think a single sign-on is the best choice.
However, please make sure that you're requesting the absolute minimum number of privileges necessary from the user's account. Whenever I use an app that wants to use my Twitter or Facebook account, and it says "Can post Tweets for you" or "Can see your liked pages" when all I want to do is post a comment, I don't bother. It's an unnecessary intrusion.
Rely on Facebook for authentication. (I.e. use single sign-on exclusively.)
Weak passwords aren't your major concern, actually. People can always change their password later. (They won't, of course, but so what? Who'd bother to use a strong password for an athletic department, even if it's for more than a free T-shift?)
The real problem is that people will reuse an existing password. The application was probably thrown together in a hurry, and looks poised to be used more and more over time. How much do you bet it's never going to leak passwords? I wouldn't bet my T-shirt on it. The less you store passwords the better.
(Expanding on CodesInChaos's advice (and to some extent Polynomial's), because they haven't given the real reason to use SSO.)

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Wounded soldiers at Fort Riley now have access to a unique facility to help them recover from their injuries.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Monday for the new occupational therapy greenhouse garden at the Resiliency Learning Center on Custer Hill.
The Kansas State University Research and Extension program at Fort Riley along with the Warrior Transition Battalion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic collaborated on the project.
The greenhouse, donated by the Kansas Agribility Project Grant, is the first project of its kind on Fort Riley and hopes to benefit Soldiers with mild traumatic brain injuries by providing healing through horticultural work.
The facility will enhance occupational therapy options for soldiers in the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic and soldiers with the Warrior Transition Battalion.
The soldiers will start by growing and maintaining common household plants and will work up to fruit and vegetable gardens.
Colonel Craig Webb, the acting commander for Irwin Army Community Hospital, told 13 News: "Soldiers who have Mild Traumatic Brain Injury sometimes will have difficulty with memory. Sometimes they'll have difficulty with sequencing something, putting one step after another. The other thing they have difficulty with is fine motor movement- using their hands to take care of plants, to trim plants, to pot plants. And so as they take care of the plants in this new greenhouse, they'll learn all of those skills while also at the same time learning a life skill that they can take with them as they recover and move on to the next stage of their lives."
More than 30 volunteers from Fort Riley and the community worked to build the greenhouse.

STEUBENVILLE - A classroom fixture for the past 39 years, Eastern Gateway Community College's longest tenured instructor is giving it up. Sort of.
Bernie Levite, 69, said he's ready to pass the torch to a new generation of instructors .
"I think it's time," he said. "It's not that I don't like it anymore, I've absolutely loved my job. It's been a terrific career. But it's time for younger people to take up the reins."
Levite, who taught math, said he'll stay on part time, but he'll cut back to two or three classes a semester - two math and a spreadsheet class, maybe, a far cry from the full schedule he typically carried.
After graduating from Steubenville High School in 1960, Levite enrolled at Bethany College, where he earned his bachelor's degree in math in 1965. He enrolled at the University of Toledo, where he got a graduate teaching assistanceship while he worked on his master's degree in math.
"I absolutely fell in love with teaching," he said. "It was such a fantastic feeling to have an effect on young people's lives - that's never changed. Really, counting those two years, I've taught for 43 years and I still get the same charge out of it."
After graduating in 1967, he spent two years teaching at Slippery Rock State University in Pennsylvania and then moved to Houston, where he spent four years as a geo-physical programmer. While he liked the community, "the job just left me cold, but in those days teaching jobs were tough to come by." When he could take no more, "I just walked away," he said.
"I was there for four years and I hated it. If ever I got a clear message that teaching is where I belonged, that was it."
That's when Eastern Gateway, then the Jefferson County Technical Institute, entered his orbit. He joined the faculty in 1973 and never looked back, enduring four name changes and all that entailed - becoming Jefferson Technical College in 1977, Jefferson Community College in 1995 and Eastern Gateway in 2009.
"With teaching, you feel like you're accomplishing something, you feel like you're having a positive effect on people's lives. I wasn't getting that when I was working in industry - I was making more money, but the money just didn't seem to make up for the loss and feeling of accomplishment."
He went back to school for his second master's degree, this one in education administration, from the University of Dayton in 1990.
"I had been teaching computers and computer programming, but that program kind of fizzled out in recent years," he said. "I'd gone back to teaching mostly math classes, which is where my degrees are anyway."
After a stint as program director for the now-discontinued computer information systems program, Levite became program director for the school's administrative assistant program. He also developed a paralegal program, which the college launched last year.
"Maybe 30 years ago I had a chance to move to another school, actually two other schools ... Muskingum Tech in Zanesville had offered me a job along with a tech school in Toledo, but I didn't see the point. It wasn't going to be an improvement, and I'd have had to leave all my friends here - I figured what was the point? There wouldn't be a benefit, so I stayed put."
Levite said his 39 years at the school "flew by, just flew by."
"I always looked forward to going to work," he said. "I always wanted a career like that, one that I'd look forward to. I never wanted a job that I dreaded going to every day. When I go to work, I'm always thinking about what I'll talk about in class, what we're going to be doing and before I knew it, it was the end of the day. It wasn't one of those jobs where you'd watch the clock. I never thought about when the day was going to end."
The best times, he said, were when he could see the light bulb go off in his students' head.
"You know it when it happens, and it's such an incredible feeling to know you're getting through to them, getting a concept across. It's better than a fat paycheck by a longshot."
He and his wife, the former Kimberly Hlivko, have been married 27 years. He has two children, Daniel of Steubenville, and Jenee, enrolled at Cleveland podiatry school.
"I'd tell anybody, particularly somebody who is about to start a career, that if you can find something where you look forward to going to work every day, you have been truly blessed," he said. "You've got to have a passion for what you're doing, and I really feel like I do."

In Jurassic Park, Dennis Nedry uses his programming abilities to mess up the whole park while he makes his escape. My question is, why did he turn off the fences? The whole disaster could have been avoided if he had just left those alone.
Right after Hammond wonders why Nedry would turn off the fences it cuts to this scene:
According to the script the latter sign says:
Still it wasn't his goal to avoid any disaster, rather on the contrary.
In the end Dennis Nedry was hired by a competiting organization/company for industrial espionage, to steal the embryos. So producing some disaster by turning off the fences could on the one hand help him escape unnoticed or at least unbothered. And on the other hand sabotaging the park could only be in the best interrests of his real employers.
Of course he didn't anticipate that it could also make it much more difficult for him to escape either. Maybe he didn't even anticipate anybody getting seriously injured (or he just didn't care, but "even Nedry knew to keep his fingers off the raptor fences"). From his point of view a little chaos could only work to his advantages (even if he was wrong in the end).

Can players on a PC and an Xbox play together in any way? I.e. can Xbox users connect to a (modfied?) PC server, or vice versa?
The two versions are not compatible and can not be played together, especially to a modded version of PC Minecraft.
As mentioned by @MBraedley, the version that was ported is an older version of minecraft (though what I have read says it is based off of 1.6, not 1.8 beta). The matching for minecraft-360 uses Microsofts XBL systems and such, which PCs do not have access to. And a further incompatibility is that minecraft-360 is limited to a world size of 1000x1000.
It's not compatible for now. Don't forget that it has just been released and there are several updates planned by Notch and his team. I heard that Notch wanted to grant the compatibility between Xbox Live Arcade and PC games, though he doesn't know if it can be made this way. As we often say: Wait and see.
Though modding and designing your character is (will be ?) an integral part of the xbox version. (Since you can't modify the game folder on your xbox as you do on your computer)
Machines that host minecraft as one of its games can not connect with other machines (With an exception of Ipads, Ipods, and Iphones; if one counts them as seperate machines, that is).

Courses You'll Love, Skills You'll Use.
Our liberal arts foundation and Catholic Benedictine heritage mean that Mount Marty students benefit from a long tradition of faith-based learning focused on developing the whole person. Students gain confidence and skills in classes that engage them as future professionals and lifelong learners, and our graduate placement rates attest to our commitment to integrating academics with career-focused practical learning.
Professors with Class.
We believe tomorrow's successful leaders will be critical thinkers, articulate communicators, ready problem-solvers, and capable leaders. In order to learn these skills, it's important that students have the chance to develop trusting relationships with faculty. That's why all classes at Mount Marty are taught by professors (not teaching assistants) who regularly give out their home phone numbers, cheer on student-athletes from the bleachers, and participate in student events and activities. Our dedicated, accessible faculty and 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio mean personalized attention from caring mentors who know who you are and where you want to go. An average class size of 25 students means hands-on learning, collaboration, and plenty of engaging discussions in every discipline. Our excellent advising program and Scholastica Learning Center offer even more opportunities for students to get support and share ideas.
Where Would You Like to Go?
Mount Marty College graduates find employment at a rate of 95% within six months of graduation, with 85% of graduates employed in their chosen field of study. Professors guide students and write recommendations that reflect students' goals, values, and accomplishments. Opportunities including internships, service learning, and clinical experiences help students build resumes that open doors after college, while allowing them to experience life outside the classroom. Our focus on the Benedictine values of service and learning help students to develop an understanding of themselves and their purpose. Students leave Mount Marty with the tools they need for a rewarding career and a meaningful life.
Smart Preparation.
Mount Marty College students enjoy classes in some of today's most interesting and relevant fields such as forensic science, criminal justice, nursing, computer information systems and graphic design + media arts. Our liberal arts and sciences foundation requires students to take classes across disciplines, which they say helps them to bring fresh perspectives to their chosen field of study. If you've ever wondered what mathematics has to do with poetry or what psychology has to do with history, Mount Marty can help you find the answers-and apply them to your educational goals.
Technology Enhances Learning.
Students learn how to use relevant technology to chat with professors in extended online office hours, work with their classmates on projects or presentations, or search the library catalog. Students receive training and support, including a walk-in help desk and telephone help line. Students gain proficiency in programs including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access that puts them ahead of the curve after graduation. Our wireless campus means learning doesn't end when class is over-students get support from professors and peers both in person and online.

[2.1] app blocker on tablet (Android)
Native JakoaCRM app: I have that long list in a view (normal list component). When I place several fingers on several list items at the same time, most of them get selected (light selection color). I can deselect the list items, but the list / app remains locked. Nothing is movable anymore. I have to kill the app to reuse it.
This happens on the Acer a500 tablet with Android V4.0.3.
I was not able to reproduce it on one of my phones.
Following is the logcat when the app is launched until it gets locked:

But if you accidentally place a second one then you are screwed. And this happens more often then you would like. In the meantime I checked on a Samsung 10 tablet with Android V4.0.3: exactly the same behavior.
What's interesting: this seems to be some sort of multi-selection mode that is active for that list. And I never succeeded to intentionally do the same on a smartphone. This seems to happen only on tablets.
20 Nov 2012 11:51 AM #4
This sounds similar to what I am experiencing
Ext version tested:
- Sencha Touch 2.1.0
- Android Samsung Galaxy SII 4.0.3
- After performing a pinch gesture the app seems to stop firing touch events, ie scrolling no longer works and nothing happens when tapping buttons. Does not reproduce 100% of the time but it should be easy (less than 5 pinches)
- Performing another pinch gesture when the app is in the state above will sometimes resume event firing but this is harder to reproduce.
- I have only reproduced this when running as a native app, no issues when running from browser on Android
- generate a new app with Sencha Cmd 3 (standard Welcome to Sencha Touch 2 app)
- packag and deploy build to Android
- perform a pinch gesture after the app has launched
- try to scroll the view
- tap Get Started tab button
- the view scrolls
- Get Started view is displayed
- no scrolling takes place
- the view does not change, though you can see the tab button text turn white while tapped

so this is not considered to be a bug?

Major advances have been made in the assessment and treatment of traumatic stress in the past 20 years. Despite these advances, the vast majority of those affected by traumatic stress still do not receive any type of services or care. For many, no services are available. Others are reluctant to seek care or do not find the services offered appealing. In addition, treatments are not effective for some who receive them. The effectiveness of services or clinical care may be limited if our conceptualizations, research methods and practices do not match the clinical realities for some trauma survivors.This meeting will provide a forum to discuss innovative strategies for outreach, assessment, treatments and programs that will enable us to deliver services in a wider variety of contexts and reach more trauma survivors. A shift in focus from mental disorder and diagnosis to the promotion of mental health can help reduce stigma and facilitate wider dissemination of information and tools to promote recovery from traumatic stress. Innovations in conceptualization, measurement and clinical methods may help us better understand the diversity of responses to traumatic stress and tailor our services and treatments to groups and individuals with different post-traumatic presentations.

Why is The Grinch on TBS tonight???
This is just not right...I have to admit I'm watching and singing but it's not Thanksgiving yet!! Just not right.. Happy Holidays?
6 Answers answer
Sorry, really mad.. Not only did they show it 20 days too early but they cut it. They made it a 15 minute time filler. TBS just voided part if my childhood... Granted I'm old but still...It's just not right...
At least they didn't show it before Halloween. It could happen next year though.....
I saw a commercial today that was talking about New Years Day.
Heck, the stores were starting with Christmas stuff in the summer.
So wrong. Thanksgiving night, they are supposed to show Willie Wonka. Then after that, let all the Christmas shows begin.
Three words can describe this.... STINK......STANK.....STUNK!
We have most of the classic specials on DVD. Kind of miss the old-skool joy of looking forward to it coming up on TV, but the kids watch them whenever they like and love them as much as I did as a kid. And at least they're not butchered so more ads can be shoved in.

Storm Shield: A sophisticated weather radio for your iPhone and Android
Download Storm Shield from iTunes and Google Play
Storm Shield is a life-saving app that is like a NOAA Emergency Weather Radio for your iPhone and Android. Get storm-based alerts for life-threatening weather events like tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorms and more via voice and push notification. You control which alerts you want to receive.
Storm Shield consistently has been one of the most popular paid weather apps since its recent launch. It kept thousands of people ahead of the storm when Hurricane Isaac approached the Gulf Coast in August 2012.
Storm Shield has caught the attention of trusted outlets such as CNET and The Unofficial Apple Weblog. Storm Shield has also won the applause of customers who have submitted feedback:
"A detail-rich app for weather bugs, with an emphasis on smart, active, automatic alerts for severe weather... Its ability to pinpoint data to your location could literally be a life-saver."
- reviews.cnet.com
"Storm Shield is like having a sophisticated weather radio on your iPhone."
- The Unofficial Apple Weblog
"During the roughest part of the storm I was constantly getting push messages to my iPhone and iPad... Thanks for developing this amazing app!"
- Joe C.
"I love this app because it finds your location... GREAT APP! Someone did what was needed, well worth the small price of it!"
- Tina A.
Storm-based alerts are more precise than county-based alerts other services use. You've likely seen these county-based alerts on TV, where select counties are highlighted in the corner of your TV screen. These county-based alerts can result in people at one end of a county receiving alerts for weather that will not impact them.
Storm Shield is more personalized than that. With storm-based alerts, you will be alerted if your current or saved locations fall inside a National Weather Service watch or warning box.
As an example, the National Weather Service issues a polygon for a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. This only affects people in the path of the dangerous part of the storm. If your location is inside the orange polygon, you would receive a Severe Thunderstorm Warning from Storm Shield.
If your location is just outside the polygon (even though you may be in the storm and the county), you would not receive a warning from Storm Shield.
Storm Shield is designed to make a negligible impact on your battery. To save your battery life, you can throttle up or down Storm Shield's Location Tracking to balance between location accuracy and battery life.
You can also turn off Location Tracking and instead set one of your five locations to where you are most often.
INTERACTIVE MAP: Track hurricane and tropical storm paths by switching between weather overlays on the map.
FOLLOW ME: Get alerts no matter where you are in the United States when a relevant watch or warning is issued.
BATTERY LIFE: Designed to make a negligible impact on your battery, Storm Shield uses Apple's Location Services, which can be turned on or off. You can throttle up or down Storm Shield's Location Tracking to balance between location accuracy and battery life.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY: Save up to five additional locations to make sure friends and family at home, work, or out of state stay safe.
AUDIO: Get audio alerts (beeps followed by a brief description of the alert) that could wake you in the middle of the night, or give you information when you can't stop to look at the phone.
LIVE VIDEO AND LOCAL INFO: Watch live video streams when available from select Scripps markets. Storm Shield is made possible by Scripps local television stations and newspapers. If you live in a Scripps market, your app will be customized with additional local news and information to keep you ahead of the storm. Use your partner code (if provided), or search for your city or zip code, to activate local weather information in Scripps markets.

The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation announced on Friday it had awarded $300,000 in challenge grant funding to the yet-to-be completed Twilight Theatre and Community Auditorium.
"We are deeply grateful for their faithful partnership in our project," said Twilight Board President Roger Staats. "The timing is great and it's a wonderful blessing."
The Twilight Theatre is amidst a final fundraising push to close a $760,000 funding gap.
Board memebrs have been meeting with city and county officials in recient months seeking public assistance to complete the final phases of construction on the 18,500 sq. ft. multi-use facility.
"This comes at a crucial time in our fundraising effort and we look forward to meeting that challenge over the next several months through the generous support of our donors and friends who understand and value the incredible business and entertainment opportunities that the facility will support in our area," said Twilight Board Memebr Brad Estes.
The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation Inc., a Delaware based non-profit corporation, was formed in 1948 by John E. and Lottie Mabee. With offices in Tulsa, Okla. the purposes of the foundation are to aid Christian religious organizations, charitable organizations, and institutions of higher learning, hospitals, and other organizations of a general charitable nature.

I am aware that this is quite a wide question and that many factors influenced the development of Media (the printing press I presume to have the largest impact) but can anybody give me some examples of earlier use of media to influence others in important situations. As early back as you can. Thank you.
As far as the modern "mass" media goes this indeed was started after the invention of the printing press like @jfrankcarr pointed out.
But Propaganda has been around since the dawn of human civilization. Even in Prehistoric times there were symbols which could be argued as being propaganda, signs of success or fertility: Venus figurines are a good example of that (However, since prehistoric based on speculation)
Moving on to Mayan society many scientist have argued that the big Mayan temples, which could be seen from afar and rose far above the surrounding forests also served as Propaganda tool to uplift the rulers. (In fact any tall/large structure throughout the ages can most certainly be viewed as a showing success of a society/rules. From the pyramids to the Burj Dubai skyscraper)
The Romans were really good at propaganda. This great long article from the BBC called: The official truth: Propaganda in the Roman empire should give you some great inside about clearly documented 2000+ year old propaganda.
More examples of truly recognized propaganda can be found on this wikipedia page about propaganda as well.
Right from the start in the 1450's the Gutenberg printing press was used to influence people. Not only was the Bible printed but indulgences were printed out in considerable numbers as well. Classical writings, such as Greek philosophers, were also distributed. Within 10 years of the invention of the printing press, it was being used to deliver religious and political messages in books to the educated population. Perhaps the biggest early societal impact of printing was the Reformation. For example, over 300K of Martin Luther's tracts were printed and distributed between 1518-1520.
It was the kind of information explosion and democratization of knowledge that wasn't seen again until the 1990's and the Internet.
Cultural art forms such as group dances, ballets, individual performances where artistes sang of historical or mythological or contemporary heroics existed for a very long time in India. An early reference one can find for this kind of mass communication is that of Ramayana being sung by Lava kusa who toured cities to sing the saga set to music.
Similar art forms and means of mass communication would have existed in many ancient cultures.
Propaganda is an invention of the 20th century. It is the application of behavioral psychology and modern linguistic philosophy that saw rhetoric more widely intentionally applied to other symbols than only language, such as posters, movies, and newspapers. Propaganda was widely used during WWI to improve morale at home and target enemy morale. This is from the seminal work on the subject.
"Propaganda", Edward Bernays, 1912
Bernays' main object was to use propaganda for commercial interests. The first forms of propaganda were thus advertising.
The word propaganda comes from "propagation" as in "propagation of the (Catholic) faith." The word first took on a negative connotation when Protestant reformers felt that the Catholic Church was spreading an improper view of Christianity. The concept of propaganda thus evolved over time from the Reformation to the 20th century. John Locke wrote an important rhetorical treatise.
Ancient societies have always spread messages, but this is (applied) rhetoric, not propaganda. The reason is that the messages were not designed for a "mass audience," but would be crafted for very specific audiences. Speeches by Cicero for example were not written to have universal appeal to most of the Roman population. There was no propaganda in the Roman Empire.
Interpretations of cultural and artistic art forms are also rhetoric and designed for mass audiences, but are not "applied" rhetorics. Marxist definitions of rhetoric and propaganda will include this though.

I decided to use your small framework for my project. I created a class which extends AbstracePluggableGUIApplication and I was ttrying to add a dockable window at startup but I don't no how to do that. I tried to call in the predisplazinit method ((DockableWindowPanel)mainContentPanel).addDockableWindow() but it doesn't changed anything. The dockable window which I gives the method as parameter has not been showed. Could you tell me how to add a window to the application?
Also I don't no how to write the code for savings ccommon properties of the window llike location and so oon. I subclassed GUIApllicationPreferences and I put the path into the getPreferencesClassName method of the aapplication but eac. Time I load the application it uses the default ones. Is that a bug?

I am looking for software which would help me to write quality replies to a poorly worded/structured or otherwise complex emails/forum messages.
The tool should allow to graphically break (manually of course, though some automation would be handy) the original email/message into separate logical parts (paragraphs, etc). Once the original text is split into logical pieces, I should then be able to add my comments to each part like "what is the author trying to state/ask here". After that, I should be able to reply to what I think an author is really asking/stating, rather than to reply to big "raw" chunks of text.
So, it would be similar to a "review" functionality which exists in Microsoft Word, but with an emphasis not on the iterative review process, but on a visually guided extraction and then addressing of the meaning.
I think a tool like that should boost my email/online forums productivity.
Any directions and comments are welcome.

Columbia, Mo.-Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian David McCullough will participate in a Question-and-Answer session at 3:30-4:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 6 in Dorsey Chapel, and a lecture at 7:30 p.m. in Launer Auditorium on the Columbia College campus. Both events are free and open to the public.
McCullough's lecture is made possible by the Althea and John Schiffman Ethics in Society Lecture series at Columbia College, which is designed to engage students, faculty, staff and the Columbia community in discussions about ethical issues surrounding contemporary events. McCullough is the fifth speaker in the series.
McCullough attended Yale University where he graduated with honors in English literature. He is the author of several internationally recognized books, including "John Adams," "The Johnstown Flood," "Truman," and the No. 1 national bestseller "1776."
For his work, McCullough has been twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the Francis Parkman Prize. He also has been honored as winner of the National Book Foundation Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award, the National Humanities Medal and the New York Public Library's Literary Lion Award.
In addition to his authorship, McCullough has appeared on public television as host of "Smithsonian World" and "The American Experience." He also provided narration for the documentary "The Civil War" and the movie "Seabiscuit."
McCullough is past president of the Society of American Historians and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is the recipient of more than 40 honorary degrees.
Columbia College serves nearly 25,000 students each year at its Day Campus, Evening Campus, Nationwide Campuses, Online Campus and Graduate Studies Program. The college was founded in 1851 as Christian Female College and was renamed Columbia College in 1970 when it became coeducational.

At the risk of overloading an already bloated thread, I found a rather large collection here. Example:
Richard W. Hamming, in N. Rose's Mathematical Maxims and Minims, Raleigh NC: Rome Press Inc., 1988.
"The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful." - Henry Poincaré
Someone once told me that Grothendieck said "a sheaf of groups is a group of sheaves," although I have been unable to find a real reference. Can anyone substantiate this?
Another quote from Dieudonné's "Foundations of Modern Analysis, Vol. 1":
"My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful."- Herman Weyl
"Taking the principle of excluded middle from the mathematician would be the same, say, as proscribing the telescope to the astronomer or to the boxer the use of his fists. To prohibit existence statements and the principle of excluded middle is tantamount to relinquishing the science of mathematics altogether."
-David Hilbert
"We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done." -Alan Turing
Grothendieck in Pursuing stacks (letters to Quillen).
Like many people, I am fascinated by the quote from Weyl (already listed here), that
But I can see why people are puzzled by the quote, so I'd like to add some more information (too much to put in a comment) as another answer.
First, what is the context? The quote occurs in Weyl's paper Invariants in Duke Math. J. 5 (1939), pp. 489--502, the first page of which can be seen here. This page includes most of what Weyl has to say on algebra v. geometry, though the quote itself does not occur until p.500. Then on p.501 Weyl explains his discomfort with algebra as follows
Second, why the image of angel and devil? According to V.I Arnold, writing here, Weyl had a particular image in mind, namely, the Uccello painting "Miracle of the Profaned Host, Episode 6", which can be viewed here.
Arnold describes this painting as "representing an event that happened in Paris in 1290." "Legend" is probably a better word than "event," but in any case it is a very strange origin for a famous mathematical quote.
`The human is just a creature for doing slower (and unreliably) (a small part of) what we already know (or soon will know) to do faster. All pretensions of human superiority should be withdrawn if humans want to survive in the future.
--Shalosh B. Ekhad (i.e., Doron Zeilberger)
Apart from the most elementary mathematics, like arithmetic or high school algebra, the symbols, formulas and words of mathematics have no meaning at all. The entire structure of pure mathematics is a monstrous swindle, simply a game, a reckless prank. You may well ask: "Are there no renegades to reveal the truth?" Yes, of course. But the facts are so incredible that no one takes them seriously. So the secret is in no danger. -- T. Kaczynski
"Why is this a good idea?"
Jean Bourgain, in response to the question, "Have you ever proved a theorem that you did not know was true until you made a computation?" Answer: "No, but nevertheless it is important to do the computation because sometimes you find out that more is there than you realized."
Here you have one of my all-time favorites:
" The ultimate goal of Mathematics is to eliminate any need for intelligent thought."
Can any of you guys tell me where that quote first appeared? Same thing for the quote of Atiyah entered by Petrunin.
"We have not succeeded in answering all our problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things." - Anonymous quote from Bernt Øksendal's "Stochastic Differential Equations".
And each man hears as the twilight nears, to the beat of his dying heart, the devil tap on the darkening pane, "You did it, but is it art?"
Epigraph to Hille-Phillips, "Functional analysis and semigroups"
I once read, in an autobiographical piece, what the author said to his high-school teacher upon graduation; my recollection is:
"Poincaré has written that geometry is the art of making a correct argument from incorrectly drawn figures. For you, sir, it is the opposite."
I would love to know the correct quote, and an accurate source. I've seen a version attributed to Poincaré, but couldn't verify that.
"Mathematics is a part of physics. Physics is an experimental science, a part of natural science. Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap." V.I.Arnold
"The noblest ambition is that of leaving behind something of permanent value."
-G.H. Hardy, A Mathematicians Apology
"The case for my life, then, or for that of anyone else who has been a mathematician in the same sense which I have been one, is this: that I have added something to knowledge, and helped others to add more; and that these somethings have a value which differs in degree only, and not in kind, from that of the creations of the great mathematicians, or of any of the other artists, great or small, who have left some kind of memorial behind them." - G.H. Hardy
"the zeros of the zeta function are like the Fourier transform of the primes"
As related in Karl Sabbagh's book on the Riemann Hypothesis. (Amazon reference)
From the relevant page in the Google book, it might be Samuel Patterson.
'Life is complex: it has both real and imaginary components." (I don't know who said this...)
Laurent Schwartz, Un mathématicien aux prises avec le siècle.
Free translation: «Life is strange. In fact, in geometry, we do not think in the same way of a complex affine line (for example in the theorem of Ceva in a triangle) and of the field of complex numbers x+iy. When I think about this, imaginary points in geomtry are gray, the real points are black, and the intersection of two conjugate imaginary lines is a black real point. The beautiful umbilical conic is silver, the lines and isotropic cones are mostly pink.»
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. —- Albert Einstein
"Life is good for only two things, discovering mathematics and teaching mathematics." -- Simeon Poisson
"A mathematical truth is neither simple nor complicated in itself, it is." - Émile Lemoine
Explanation given by Newton to Leibniz in response to the latter's request for details about Newton's newly developed method of fluxions and fluents, in the form of an anagram for «Data æquatione quotcunque fluentes quantitates involvente fluxiones invenire, et vice versa».
Who's not shared the feeling that Leibniz must have felt at getting this response when reading obscure explanations in the literature? :P
"'Imaginary' universes are so much more beautiful than this stupidly constructed 'real' one; and most of the finest products of an applied mathematician's fancy must be rejected, as soon as they have been created, for the brutal but sufficient reason that they do not fit the facts." - G.H. Hardy
C. G. J. Jacobi writing (in French) to Legendre
Translation as given in Additive number theory: inverse problems and the geometry of sumsets, vol. 2, by M. B. Nathanson: «It is true that Fourier believed that the principal goal of mathematics is the public welfare and the understanding of nature, but as a philosopher he should have understood that the only goal of science is the honor of the human spirit, and, in this regard, a problem in number theory is as important as a problem in physics.» The translation sadly loses much of the tone...
Dunno if it's appropriate, but: "Now, I've often thought of writing a mathematics textbook someday, because I have a title that I know will sell a million copies. I'm going to call it: Tropic of Calculus" -- Tom Lehrer, New Math

KILLEEN (December 20, 2012)--Trimmier Elementary School in Killeen was evacuated before the start of classes after a suspicious package was found lying outside the building at around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
A letter that advised parents of the incident was set home with students.
"It became evident that the package was unclaimed and as a precaution the campus was evacuated prior to the start of the school day while the matter was thoroughly investigated," the letter from the school's principal, Penny Batts, said.
KISD officials said Killeen police were contacted, the package was determined not to be a threat, and the school day started on schedule.
KISD officials said it was an isolated incident.

In many cryptographic protocols, some information is transmitted within smart cards. So, what is a smart card? Is it a physical card? What are they used for in cryptographic protocols?
A Smart Card is small portable physical device, typically flat and in the format of a traditional credit card (sometime much smaller: an example is the SIM card in a mobile phone), embedding:
Wired logic Smart Cards
The first commercially successful Smart Card was a pre-paid phone card, used for over two decades in public phone booths in France, replacing coins (which made phone booths too much an attractive target). It had 256 bits of memory, implemented in EPROM technology with 21V programing voltage, plus one physical fuse. The contacts allowed to reset an 8-bit address counter, increment it, read the selected bit, and program the selected bit. Its memory access policy was: any bit can be read; any bit can be programmed (from 0 to 1) when the fuse is not blown; only the last 160 bits can be programmed when the fuse is blown (this is implemented by a logic function of the fuse's state and the three hight bits of the address counter); erasing (from 1 to 0, by exposing the bare IC to ultraviolet light) erases all bits, and normally occurs only in a late manufacturing stage of the IC. The first 96 bits contained issuing information, written before the fuse was blown. Some of the last 160 bits (as defined by issuing information) each represented a certain prepaid value, when still erased. Programming one of these bits reduced the remaining value in the Smart Card. Erasing did not help an adversary, for the issuing information could not be restored after erasure. That information was also protected by a checksum (a 7-bit field containing the binary expression of the number of 0 bits in like 88 other bits of that information; this corruption detection system is such that altering any number of bits in the same direction makes the information invalid).
Fraud by simulation (which was possible due to the lack of cryptographic protocol and secret key in that early Smart Card, and did occur) never was a seriously damaging issue, although about two billions of that Smart Card have been made. That was the kind preferred by Roland Moreno, often credited for the invention of the Smart Card circa 1974 (full disclosure: we have been close friends from 1983 till his death in 2012).
Microprocessor Smart Cards
Many contemporary Smart Cards have a built-in microprocessor, usually on the same die as the long-term memory, implementing the access control policy, in the form of a program rather than wired logic. The access control policy can thus be almost arbitrarily complex (including contained in the memory itself, and alterable as part of the access control policy). That processor can be anything from a 1 MIPS 8-bit CPU, to a much faster 32-bit RISC core. There can be dedicated co-processors for cryptographic algorithms: DES/3DES, AES, RSA (and other cryptography based on exponentiation in $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$), ECDSA (and other cryptography based on elliptic curves), complete with sophisticated protection against side-channel attacks; hardware TRNG+PRNG with testability features; shield against intrusion; detectors of abnormal operating conditions (shield breach, light, temperature, supply voltage glitches..); bus encryption; parity or SECDED on memory; perhaps two CPUs, with hardware checking they obtain equivalent results, for added protection against fault injection attacks; and more.
For a tour (absolutely recommended) of a high-end Smart Card IC, see e.g. that Security Target (alternate link), starting with the block diagram on page 20.
Access control policy implemented in Smart Cards
As an illustration of a common feature, the Smart Card's permanent data memory can contain a Personal Identification Number and a counter of consecutive PIN presentation errors. The usual PIN access control policy will block PIN presentation if the counter of consecutive PIN errors reaches 3; increment the counter at each PIN presentation, then if the PIN is correct reset the counter and enable some function until power off: reading from or writing to some section of the memory; or/and using some information in the memory as the secret key of a cryptographic MAC allowing the Smart Card to be part of a challenge/response protocol. Such PIN policy makes the Smart Card safe against misuse in case of loss of the Smart Card without the PIN, with high confidence (0.03% risk for a 4-digit PIN).
Smart Cards are also useful a containers for an individual's or server's credentials in a Public-Key Infrastructure, in the form of a private key, generated within the Smart Card, or injected into it. The policy will typically include no function allowing the private key to leave the Smart Card, restricting the use of that key to, say, RSA signature of (the hash of) a message supplied to the Smart Card. That prevents compromise of the confidentiality of the key (but not misuse), should the Smart Card be connected to a compromised device/PC.
A lot of work goes into the access control policy of a modern Smart Card; see for example this (highly technical) two parts specification aimed at e-government applications; or (that's relatively simple) what pertains to the card in the European Regulation specifying the Digital Tachograph for trucks, in Annex 1B, appendix 2, and appendix 11 for the RSA + 3DES cryptography.
Comments on what ought to be added welcome!

The JCSW is a standing committee of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, established in 1973, representing a constituency of women and men faculty, fellows, residents, post docs, students, and staff of Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and affiliated hospitals and institutions.
Our mission
is to facilitate and enhance the contribution of women faculty and staff at HMS and HSDM by expanding and enhancing opportunities for leadership and advancement. This is achieved through identifying and documenting obstacles, developing educational programs and networking events, and making recommendations to the Dean's Office and relevant administrators to address areas for improvement.
Our members
constitute a fabric of connection and a force for institutional evolution-as observers, researchers, analysts, commentators, mentors and educators.
