Wow... orte_plm.signal_job points to zero. Is it correct from the PML point of view?It might be because plm's are really only used at launch time not in MPI processes. Note plm != pml.

The line 67 of vprotocol_receiver_eventlog.c is the orte_plm_signal_job call. After that zeros and interrogations... the signal_job function is already available? I really don't understand what means all those zeros.

I still don't see in your trace where it is failing in signal_job. I didn't see the message indicating it was sending the signal cmd out in your prior debug output, and there isn't a printf in that code loop other than the debug output. Can you attach to the process and get more info?

I don't know why this would be crashing. Are you sure it is crashing in signal_job? Your trace indicates it is crashing in a print statement, yet there is no print statement in signal_job. Or did you run this with plm_base_verbose set so that the verbose prints are trying to run (could be we have a bug in one of them)?

With exception to the signal_job the code works, I have tested it forcing an accept on the other process, and avoiding the signal_job. But I want to send the signal to wake-up the other side and to be able to manage multiple connect/accept.

Women's Tennis Selected Third, Owens & Ching Honored by ConferenceJanuary 30, 2014
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Coming off a 13-win season and a trip to the South Atlantic Conference Tournament championship match, Anderson University women's tennis was selected third in the annual SAC Preseason Coaches' Poll, while senior Avery Owens was tabbed first team in singles and doubles with junior Karen Ching, released Thursday by the conference office.
Owens, who was joined by Ching to complete the first-team doubles tandem, finished a perfect 9-0 in SAC singles matches for the season, en route to a 15-2 overall singles record. In doubles, Owens and Ching finished 15-4 for the 2013 campaign. The Clinton, S.C. native has totaled a combined 35 singles win through three seasons.
Owens joins a pair from Wingate in Ali Evers and Becca Thomas on the first-team, along with Newberry's Susana Aguirre, Catawba's Liz Renteria and Carson-Newman's Stefy Stand. On the doubles side, the duo of Owens and Ching joins Newberry's pair of Aguirre and Romina Adum and Wingate's Thomas and Evers round out the first-team doubles list.
In the annual poll, the Trojans finished 18 points behind conference favorite and defending SAC champion, Wingate, which claimed eight first-place votes. Tusculum finished behind the Bulldogs in second-place with 107 points and the final four first-place votes.
Following AU was Newberry (81 points) in fourth, Queens (79) in fifth and Lincoln Memorial (78) in sixth. Catawba placed seventh with 69 points, while Carson-Newman finished eighth with 46 points. Mars Hill claimed the ninth position, while Coker (29), Brevard (28) and Lenoir-Rhyne (20) round out the poll, respectively.
After being projected to finish second each of the last two seasons, the Trojans were given their lowest ranking since being projected fourth in 2011.
Anderson opens its 2014 season on Saturday, Feb. 8 when it kicks off conference play with Newberry. First serve from the Max Grubbs Memorial Courts is set for 2 p.m.

One game that still leaves me stumped for good strategy is Reiner Knizia's auction game Modern Art. The last time it hit our table, I noticed that when it was my turn to auction a painting early in the round, I had no clue which of my paintings to select first.
- Do you play cards of an artist that you have fewer of (hoping someone will buy it because they have some to sell as well), or one you have a lot of (and run the risk that nobody else is interested in it)?
- How much is the artist tiebreak worth thinking about? If all else is equal, sure, play a Lite Metal over a Krypto, but is it more important than that?
- What kind of auction do you play? I would think that an open auction would generate the most interest, but is that the case, and is it worth worrying about?
- Do you play a double painting to saturate the market, or do you hold out and try to cash the double in later, hopefully as the third and fourth painting of the round?
- In later rounds, how much do the carryover values from the previous rounds matter? Sure, they are worth more, but conversely there are less of them left to sell and people may not be interested anymore?
Does anyone have a better feel for this game, and can provide some insight? I'd love to have a couple rules of thumb ready for when I play this game next.

Suppose you are given a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n,$ and a (Morse) function $f: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R},$ all of whose critical points are positive-definite.
The question is: is there a diffeomorphism $\phi: \Omega \rightarrow \Omega$ such that $f \circ \phi$ is a convex function? Another edit The above is a typo (or braino): I actually meant $\phi: \Omega \rightarrow \Omega_1,$ for some $\Omega_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n.$
EDIT A bit of motivation: this comes from (many years ago) constructing a counterexample to the statement that a convex function has a unique minimum (which is true on a convex set, but not otherwise). If a function has a unique critical point, the question is fairly easy (just by looking at level sets, and sending them to round circles).

Invensys will supply simulation software to help KBR best model its process technology, which KBR will use in design proposals to customers and on technology licenses.
Invensys has signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar
contract with KBR to supply its SimSci PRO/II
simulation software, the companies announced on Tuesday.
Under the terms of a corporate licensing agreement, Invensys
will provide PRO/II steady-state simulation software to help
KBR accurately model its process technology, used in both the
designs KBR provides to its customers and the technology it licenses to the
hydrocarbon processing industry.
In addition, Invensys will provide on-site guidance to assist
KBR during transition from the previous model.
"Before agreeing to standardize on PRO/II software, KBR
needed new functionality to support them while they
transitioned from a previous simulation tool," said Tobias
Scheele, vice president of design, simulation and optimization
for Invensys.
"Our Invensys developers worked hand-in-hand with the KBR team
so that they can more accurately model and quickly deliver
their processing technology to the market," he added.
"We are pleased to provide these new features to KBR, as well
as to deliver hands-on guidance and on-site engineering
services to help them make the transition."
One of the refining industry's leading
simulation solutions, PRO/II software is a comprehensive
simulation solution for process design, revamp and operational
analysis. It is backed by more than 45 years of research and
development and includes proprietary correlations to model
heavy oils.
"We recognize Invensys' strong commitment to the refining and petrochemical industries," said John
Derbyshire, president of KBR Technology. "This mutually
collaborative relationship and the valuable assistance they
have provided during the transition will help us continue to
safely deliver key projects for the benefit of our
global customers and other stakeholders."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

David Mamet, Kathie Lee Gifford suffer losses
Posted at: 12/05/2012 12:35 AM
By MARK KENNEDY
(AP) NEW YORK - David Mamet's new play "The Anarchist" and Katie Lee Gifford's "Scandalous" will both end their Broadway runs much earlier than their creators wanted.
Producers said Tuesday night that Mamet's play starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger portraying an inmate and warden respectively will close Dec. 16 after just 23 previews and 17 performances.
Producers of "Scandalous," a musical about the life of preacher Aimee Semple McPherson, said it will quit even earlier, after the matinee on Dec. 9 following 60 shows. Both shows got dreadful reviews and struggled at the box office.
Those two shows join "The Performers," a play set in the porn industry, with quick exits in the past few months on Broadway. "The Performers" opened and closed in November after just 23 previews and seven regular performances.

How can I remove a single damaged floor tile without damaging the surrounding tiles? Is there anything that will help the replacement tile from cracking in the same way?
I'd grind/scrape away the grout first and then gently tap the middle of the tile with a screwdriver until it shatters and chip it out. It'll probably take a while to do it but you should be able to scrape/chip away the old thinset, apply new thinset then regrout.
best of luck !
There is a dremel tool called the multi-max that I have used before. You can get a diamond attachment for it that will cut through grout like butter. Once you get the grout out you should be able pop up the tile and replace it.
YOu can cut out the grout with a grout saw. Be sure to not try to pry the tile up on the edges because you can easily damage the edge of the adjoining tiles. It you lightly tap the tile in the middle and break with a hammer, you can then remove the tile from the middle area, working to the outer edges.
You must remove all old thin-set by chipping or grinding it away. Apply new thinset to the back of the new tile and place. Wait approximately 12 -14 hours than grout the new tile into place.
Thanks captainbay
The first step is to remove the grout around the broken tile using a grout cutter. It's important to make sure that you don't chip the surrounding tile.You can then use a rotary tool or a utility knife to cut the down-ward facing tabs on three of the four sides. Be sure to use the appropriate care and safety equipment when using the rotary tool or utility knife.Next carefully remove the broken tile by lifting and pulling away the uncut side.Then, remove the downward-facing tabs on three of the four sides of a new tile with a utility knife.Next apply a layer of adhesive and set the new tile into position.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Call it Late Night With Urban Meyer. And call it win No. 8 for Ohio State.
OSU (8-0, 3-0 Big Ten) held off surprisingly persistent Indiana 52-49 on Saturday night in a football game so long it could have been an American League baseball game.
Quarterback Braxton Miller rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown and passed for 211 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Buckeyes. Running back Carlos Hyde had a career game, rushing for 156 yards and two touchdowns.
Indiana (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) did not go as quietly as most Indiana teams have in the last quarter-century against Ohio State.
The Buckeyes led for almost the whole game except for a few minutes in the first half. But they never could quite run IU out of its own stadium, as most people expected them to do.
OSU went up 31-17 early in the third quarter on a 67-yard touchdown run by Miller, but Indiana answered with a score of its own. The Buckeyes pushed the lead back to 14 points at 38-24, then to it to 18 points, 45-27, on a 1-yard touchdown run by Hyde in the first minute of the fourth quarter.
Indiana still had an answer, though, when it marched 76 yards and got a 1-yard touchdown run from D'Angelo Roberts with 10:30 left in the game.
Ohio State answered right back with a 6-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Miller hitting Devin Smith for a 46-yard touchdown pass on which the sophomore receiver made three Indiana tacklers miss to make it 52-34.
But Indiana wasn't through, scoring twice in the final minutes.
Ohio State got off to the fast start it was looking for when it took a 10-0 lead in the game's first 12 minutes.
But Indiana, which had been outgained 112 yards to 6 yards when OSU came out of the starting blocks fast, scored on back-to-back possessions to go out front 14-10 in the first minute of the second quarter.
What was most unnerving about the Hoosiers' comeback was that they made OSU look bad in doing it.
OSU built its early lead on a 12-yard touchdown run by Cory Brown and a 35-yard field goal by Drew Basil, only his third of the season.
But three plays after Basil's kick, IU's Stephen Houston went 59 yards untouched through Ohio State's defense for a touchdown that cut the lead to 10-7.
Then on OSU's next possession, Ben Buchanan's punt was blocked by Indiana's Isaiah Roundtree and recovered at the Buckeyes' 16-yard line. Two plays later, Houston sprinted seven yards untouched again to put the Hoosiers up 14-10.
It was the fifth punt Buchanan has had blocked in his three seasons as Ohio State's punter.
After Basil missed a 35-yard field goal, Ohio State's punt block team took the momentum back from Indiana when Travis Howard blocked a punt and Bradley Roby recovered it in the end zone. It was his third touchdown of the season one on an interception, one when he recovered a high snap on a punt in the end zone and Saturday night's score.
The lead grew to 24-14 at halftime when Miller hooked up with his favorite deep ball target, Smith, for a 60-yard touchdown pass with 2:31 left in the first half.

Some Duke Energy customers have digital meters. This type of meter records electricity usage in the same way that a car's odometer records mileage. You read the numbers from left to right.
In the illustration below, the January reading is 7235 kilowatt-hours and the February reading is 8390 kilowatt-hours.
In this example, 1155 kilowatt-hours were used between the January and February meter readings (8390 - 7235 = 1155).

Over the last five decades of outdoor adventuring, I've encountered and dealt with bumps, bruises, blisters and even broken bones But it's been almost 40 years since I took a first-aid course. I'm due for a refresher. How about you?
If you are already a Wilderness First Responder, a two-day refresher course will keep your skills sharp and your certification current. But, if you just want to be better able to react if you need to, a Wilderness First Aid course is more your speed.
This "scenario-based" course is designed for anyone who travels in the backcountry and wants basic competency in first aid in a remote setting, backcountry emergency procedures and improvisation and evacuation skills. It's designed to help you "develop good assessment and scene leadership and further your risk-benefit decision-making skills, recognize situations you can manage alone and when you need to scream for help. No experience required."
I shudder at the thought of spending time in a classroom, especially at this beautiful time of year. But the course description promises "You should expect to be outside regardless of the weather; working on your hands and knees (in the mud, if it rains) and carrying loaded litters over rough terrain and through brush. For your own personal safety and comfort, please dress appropriately."
Life isn't a spectator sport. Get out and enjoy!
You might need it
Yet another hiker got himself into major trouble in New Hampshire's White Mountains recently and had to be rescued. Only heroic efforts by search and rescue teams saved his life. Here's how the press release tells the story:
"Teams working through the night, enduring high winds and torrential downpours, rescued an injured Michigan hiker stranded on the Franconia Ridge Trail on Tuesday, September 18, 2012.
Edward Bacon, 59, of Northville, Michigan, was on the third day of a five-day solo trek in and around Franconia Notch, when he fell and seriously injured his hip at about 1:30 p.m. Bacon crawled to an area where he was able to get brief cell phone reception and called both 911 and the Appalachian Mountain Club. He was equipped with backpacking gear. Although his tent had blown away in the fierce winds, Bacon was able to climb into his sleeping bag to stay warm, as he was becoming hypothermic from being rain-soaked and pummeled by winds while awaiting rescuers.
AMC initially sent out a rescuer from the Greenleaf Hut to find Bacon, but high winds forced that individual to turn back. A second team of two AMC staffers were able to navigate the ridge to Bacon's location (between Lincoln and Haystack), reaching him about 6:20 p.m. Shortly thereafter, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department Conservation Officers and Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team volunteers reached the injured man.
Fish and Game coordinated the 3.9-mile carryout over rough terrain in winds sustained at 70 mph, with gusts over 80 mph. Bacon was secured on a litter for his trip down the mountain. About 10 p.m.., the steady rain became a torrential downpour as the rescuers worked to get the injured hiker down the Falling Waters Trail, a route normally recommended only for ascending because of its steepness. The heavy rain immediately swelled rivers and streams in the area, and Mountain Rescue Service volunteers arrived to assist with several difficult brook crossings on the way down, using ropes to help the teams cross safely.
Rescuers reached the trailhead with the injured man at 3:20 a.m. on September 19. Bacon was then transported by Franconia Ambulance to Littleton Regional Hospital."
Okay, you have to wonder what he was doing out on the Franconia Ridge Trail (one of the most exposed and dangerous in the Whites) in that kind of weather. Did he miss a chance to turn back to safety? But beyond that, the thought of carrying a litter with an injured victim DOWN the Falling Waters Trail (much of which is, essentially, a waterfall) in torrential rains and fierce winds is almost unimaginable. Kudos to the men and women who did it, it's just a shame they had to put themselves in such peril.

As a programmer, mathematics is important basic knowledge to study some topics, especially Algorithms. Many websites, and my fellows suggest me to study Discrete Mathematics before going to Algorithms, so I want to know which Discrete Mathematics book is suitable for my needs?
By Donald Knuth himself!
Discrete Math knowledge is needed to become adept in proving the correctness and deriving the complexity of algorithms and data structures. You will be taught those in Algo/DS books, but you can only get the mathematical proficiency by practicing just discrete math.
Knuth book is very good for that. But IMHO, you will only need it if you for doing advanced proofs in DS/Algorithms.
For a beginner, it would be great to go over "Grimaldi" http://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Combinatorial-Mathematics-Applied-Introduction/dp/0201199122 and then quickly move to Algorithms.
Otherwise, you will continue going deep in Discrete Math and never get to Algorithms/DS.
Remember, Discrete Math does not teach you how to design algorithms or Data structures. That will come only by practicing Algorithm problems @ topcoder, acm icpc , spoj etc and reading books on Algos/DS or courses on those.
My 2 cents.
A very good textbook for discrete mathematics at an undergraduate level is the Kenneth Rosen book titled Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications.
The book provides solutions to half of the problems. You can also buy the Student's Solutions Guide. I don't own it, but I would suspect that it either provides the answers to the other half of the questions or provides a step-by-step guide to solving the problems (the book only provides final answers with minimal explanations of those answers).
It's used for the two-quarter sequence in Discrete Mathematics that is taken by computer science and software engineering majors, as well as a number of mathematics programs at my university. I kept this book around even after I took the course, and I'm currently using it to brush up on my discrete math skills for my Certified Software Development Associate exam.
Theres many different areas to discrete math, and many good books.
theres Graph Theory by Diestel, which has a free pdf version available at
theres generatingfunctionology by wilf, free pdf version at
Other books that are good include Enumerative combinatorics 1 and 2 by Richard P Stanley (a book which is sufficiently dense that having at least 1 analysis and algebra course each will help).
that being said, for more introductory expositions in terms of expected mathematical maturity, I'd suggest googling around and looking at various lecture notes of the "intro to combinatorics" or "mathematics for computer scientists" sorts. I found that MIT OCW's "mathematics for Computer Scientists" notes were quite nice when I looked at them several years ago.
has a link to the lecture notes. There are some really funny asides in it. One of my favorites "... anyone who says that is wrong, and you should make fun of them until they cry".
Also, If you want to dig even deeper into discrete math/ combinatorics, the value of building up a wee bit of mathematical basics in other areas of math. Complex Analysis, real analysis (at the level of at least baby rudin, and perhaps even up to functional analysis), maybe some probability up to its measure theory formulation level, and at least a smidge of abstract algebra. Then you can do stuff like look at the combinatorics of random processes (great for analyzing randomized algorithms) and look at cool problems like percolation.
theres probably other things I should suggest, but the point is discrete math is accessible without that much of a background, but is also rewards you for enriching that mathematics background with some amazingly beautiful stuff thats 1) awesome and fun 2) useful.
Mathematical Thinking: Problem-Solving and Proofs.
John P. D'Angelo, Douglas B. West.
Available at Amazon.
This is supposed to be an introduction to mathematical proofs. As such it is not restricted to discrete mathematics. But it does a very good job for discrete mathematics. You would also see some proof in real analysis; but you can focus only on the discrete part ignoring this.
I very much like Norman Biggs' Discrete Mathematics. I would not recommend the second edition. Rather, get the first edition (the "revised" first edition if you can). The text claims to be self-contained (seems so to me).
Since there is not much info on this edition of the text online (the preview on Amazon is the second edition), here is an outline:
Part 1: Numbers and Counting
Part 2: Graphs and Algorithms:
Part 3: Algebraic Methods:
I found the book Elements of Discrete Mathematics by C. L. Liu extremely helpful.
It is at a very basic level and is great if you are looking for an introduction into discrete mathematics.
The best book as far as i know are these two:
Discrete Mathematics By Norman L.Biggs
Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications by Kenneth H. Rosen
Elements of Discrete Mathematics by C. L. Liu is Helpful for the Introduction ofNumber Theory,Combintorics,Logic.

Sun Founders Panel 2006
By mprove on Dec 20, 2010
I was a little concerned when I realized that a video has vanished from a Computer History Museum's page at the time when Sun's website was reorganized during the transition to Oracle. It was an intriguing panel with Sun founders and pioneers Andy Bechtolsheim, Bill Joy, Vinod Khosla, Scott McNealy, and John Gage. Ironically I remember the quote
"Get them on tape before they die."
And if you have them on tape, keep the video up regardless of any changing situations; you are a museum! But here is the good news (thanks Oliver): The webcast is still available on YouTube. Enjoy!
Some quotes at A Tribute to Sun Miscrosystems: A Night to Remember
Redundancy is sometimes the salvation of technology. Certainly in the case involving the supposed holdings of the Computer History Museum, without redundancy and YouTube, the Sun Microsystems Founders Panel (Bill Joy, Andy Bechtolsheim, Vinod Khosla, Scott McNealy and moderator John Gage) would have vanished forever since the video disappeared mysteriously from the museum's web site during the confusion around the reorganization reflecting Oracle's acquisition of Sun. Now, in all their glory, the founding four, courtesy of YouTube, share their personal stories of the early days at Sun.

Getting the current Model selected from a ComboBox
I have a situation where I have a slaveStore (ie. a masterStore controls its content) attached to a combobox. The displayValue is set to the Model's name. When the store is updated (from a master store update), and the current selected Model has it's name updated, the ComboBox is not having its text field updated with the value from the store update (there is no selection occuring here)
Through debugging, I see there is a field lastSelection on the ComboBox which appears to give me the pre-modified model (first item in the array) which I can use to get the latest model from the store and call select(). This works, but I don't like the fact I am using an unsanctioned/documented property. Is there any other way to get the current selected Model of the ComboBox? getRawValue() and getValue() and getModelData() all return the name shown of the text field and not the model itself. There doesn't seem to be a selectionModel which I would have expected.
Is there another way?
22 Dec 2012 5:29 PM #2
I should also mention that in some respects I would have thought this to be a bug. If the store is updated and the combobox (forceSelection and read-only) is bound to it, shouldn't the text field be updated automatically to reflect the change in the store value?

What can I use to substitute corn syrup in a recipe for boiled icing?
When heating sugar up in boiled icing or in making candy, the problem is sugar crystallization. This happens because the solution becomes supersaturated and any movement can cause it to shift back into a crystal state.
The corn syrup is there to prevent this from happening by providing glucose to 'get in the way'. You can get just 'glucose' at the drugstore to replace the corn syrup. Any other sugary thing that's high in fructose or glucose should work.
Another option is an acid. Some acid (like lemon juice) should make some of the sucrose break apart into simpler sugars and prevent crystallization.
Boiled icing is essentially an Italian meringue which I never use corn syrup in. But anyway, corn syrup is basically fructose syrup which is used in the recipe to preven the sugar crystallizing, there are other substances (all fairly similar in chemical structure) that can prevent this: glucose syrup, golden syrup if you live in the UK and even honey will do this although this will of course give you a honey flavored icing.
If all else fails and you can't find any of the ingredients listed above you could always substitute it for a simple syrup (use equal amounts of sugar and water in place of the amount of corn syrup) and just be very carefull not to let it crystalise.
You can stop this by making sure the sugar has dissolved before you boil it, brush away any sugar grains with a pastry brush before boiling and most importantly don't stir it, just give it a swirl or it will crystalise.
Hope this helps!
That's actually the traditional ingredient, rather than corn syrup.
If you are simply wanting to replace corn syrup, and sugar (white cane granulated) will do fine, you can make a "Simple Syrup" (1 cup sugar to 1 cup boiling water, stir till all is dissolved... pretty 'simple'...). You might want to experiment with the quantity but this will give you both the sweet and liquid elements of corn syrup.
If you are looking eschew 'sugars' altogether then you can substitute Splenda (or any competitive sucralose product) for the sugar and make a sugar free simple syrup.

To the editor:
This election season has already taken a toll on me. It's wearing me down more each day. My phone is bombed with more and more "concerned" politicians and their henchman trying to get just a few minutes of my time to tell me why the other candidate is the devil. I cannot turn on the TV without seeing a politician approving a message that makes the opposition sound anything but American and then promising me all the riches this country has to offer, but only if I vote for them.
Like any good member of the electorate, I try to educate myself on the candidates and issues. This alone is a daunting task. In the monster that is our 24-hour news cycle, the watchdogs and 4th Estate seem to be put on leash and muzzle, especially when it comes to the big network outlets. Bias and partisanship have slithered their way off Capital Hill and into our news. Somewhere along the way, it has become acceptable for journalists and reporters to interject their own opinions and beliefs into a story that is supposed to inform us and let us make our own judgments and decisions for ourselves. For extreme but viewer-popular examples, I give you Fox News and MSNBC. They don't even try to hide it. They are activists for a pre-determined agenda set in motion by their higher-ups.
In the first presidential debate, news outlets came out immediately afterward and said Gov. Mitt Romney won. Hands down. And what was their reasoning for giving him the nod? He talked louder than President Barack Obama and was more animated. It was the visual dramatics of Romney's performance that caused the reporters to hand him the trophy, which in turn influenced many people to agree; not his statements, which were to say the least, inaccurate. I saw very few outlets talking about the accuracy and substance of the candidates' dialogue with objective points of view. They legitimized skewed talk and rhetorical garbage to the American people.
The sense of sight is the most influential in politics. In the Richard Nixon-John F. Kennedy debate, those who listened to it on the radio thought Nixon dominated, but those who watched the debate on TV considered it a landslide for Kennedy. Kennedy looked better. The same thing has happened in this first round for the 2012 election. Romney looked better. It is the media's job to filter out the superficial, but rather they reinforce it. They want the gamesmanship of it. They want a spectacle. That's what sells.
Our news outlets aren't all to blame. So are the viewing, reading and listening public. We accept that this is what journalism is. According to the Society of Professional Journalist's website, there is a Code of Ethics journalists should adhere to - First, find truth and report it. Second, minimize harm. Third, act independently. Fourth, be accountable. These are four things that are in rare supply within our news. We deserve and should demand better.

I seem to always have a surplus of metal and never any wood. I was thinking there should be a alchemy building or something you can build where you can covert metal to wood and wood to metal. It would also be nice if you could re-use old bakery items by converting them into something level appropriate. For example, I have an overstock of pretzels, which are only good for up to level 18, then you need bread/loaf. If there was an alchemy shop it would be good if I could convert 3 pretzels (or whatever) into the next tier, say loaf or whatever.
Just a thought.

His name is Hector and he is what you call a nice guy that gets annoying if you let him talk too much. Having said that, here is "how to draw Hector", step by step. Hector wears a gray colored sleeveless tee and a pair of red shorts. Her also wears an eye patch and has a bushy style of hair. Drawing Hector should be fun and colorful so enjoy. I will be back maybe later with more drawing fun so be sure to stick around for that, and be sure to join me at 8pm for another Livestream session.

Can anybody explain(hopefully with a picture), how is the linux graphics stack organised? I hear all the time about X/GTK/GNOME/KDE etc., but I really don't have any idea what they actually do and how they interact with each other and other portions of the stack. How do Unity and Wayland fit in?
The X Window System uses a client-server architecture. The X server runs on the machine that has the display (monitors + input devices), while X clients can run on any other machine, and connect to the X server using the X protocol (not directly, but rather by using a library, like Xlib, or the more modern non-blocking event-driven XCB). The X protocol is designed to be extensible, and has many extensions (see
The X server does only low level operations, like creating and destroying windows, doing drawing operations (nowadays most drawing is done on the client and sent as an image to the server), sending events to windows, ... You can see how little an X server does by running
As you can see, the X server does very little, it doesn't draw title bars, doesn't do window minimization/iconification, doesn't manage window placement... Of course, you can control window placement manually running a command like
As we said, X only does low level operations, and doesn't provide higher level concepts as pushbuttons, menus, toolbars, ... These are provided by libraries called toolkits, e.g: Xaw, GTK, Qt, FLTK, ...
Desktop environments are collections of programs designed to provide a unified user experience. So desktop environments typically provides panels, application launchers, system trays, control panels, configuration infrastructure (where to save settings). Some well known desktop environments are KDE (built using the Qt toolkit), Gnome (using GTK), Enlightenment (using its own toolkit libraries), ...
Some modern desktop effects are best done using 3d hardware. So a new component appears, the composite manager. An X extension, the XComposite extension, sends window contents to the composite manager. The composite manager converts those contents to textures and uses 3d hardware via OpenGL to compose them in many ways (alpha blending, 3d projections, ...).
Not so long ago, the X server talked directly to hardware devices. A significant portion of this device handling has been moving to the OS kernel: DRI (permitting access to 3d hardware by X and direct rendering clients), evdev (unified interface for input device handling), KMS (moving graphics mode setting to the kernel), GEM/TTM (texture memory management).
So, with the complexity of device handling now mostly outside of X, it became easier to experiment with simplified window systems. Wayland is a window system based on the composite manager concept, i.e. the window system is the composite manager. Wayland makes use of the device handling that has moved out of X and renders using OpenGL.
As for Unity, it's a desktop environment designed to have a user interface suitable for netbooks.
The traditional stack is built upon 3 main components:
The X architecture was made network hence allowing the clients to be on separate host then server.
So far so good. However that was the image from way back. Nowadays it is not the CPU that handles the graphics but the GPU. There have been various attempts to incorporate it in the model - and place when kernel come into place to greater extend.
Firstly there have been made some assumptions regarding the usage of graphic card. For example only the on-screen rendering was assumed. I cannot find this information on wikipedia right now but DRI 1 also assumed that only one application will use OpenGL at the same time (I cannot quote right away but I can dig the bug up where it was close as WONTFIX with note to wait to DRI 2).
A few temporary solution have been proposed for indirect rendering (needed for composite WM):
The works on newer architecture (DRI 2) was started. That included:
Somehow orthogonal to move to kernel the work on Gallium drivers have been started. Mesa library started as implementation of OpenGL on CPU and then it started using GPU acceleration. It always have been tighten to OpenGL. In OpenGL 3.0 the model have changed significantly and the rewrite of library was inevitable. However they are taking the opportunity to split the code into several layer extracting common code and providing low-level API allowing to implement various 3D API on top of it - allowing for example Wine to provide DirectX talking directly to Gallium instead of going through the OpenGL API layer (which may not have direct 1-1 calls).
Wayland is a projects which considers the above a bit complicated and with too "history". The design from 1984 (although highly modified and adapted) does not corresponds to beginning of 21 c. according to proponents.
It is suppose to offer greater flexibility and better performance although it is still missing some important features like full OpenGL support (and important for some - network support).
A bit more about desktop environments and window managers. The window manager is an application responsible for how window will behave - for example it is responsible for managing workspaces, drawing titlebar(the thing on top of screen with windo title and minimise/maximise/close buttons) etc.
Firstly only minimal WM was used but afterwards the user started wanting desktop environments - i.e. more featured version, which included menu start, desktop background etc. However most parts of the desktop environment is not a window manager although they are often integrated.
After some time the composite WM were introduced which uses OpenGL and indirect rendering to do their work. They provides not only graphical effects but also allow easier implementation of some accessibility features (like magnifier).
First of all, there is really no Linux graphics stack. Linux has no graphical display capabilities.
However, Linux applications can use graphical displays and there are a number of different systems for doing that. The most common ones are all built on top of X windows.
X is a network protocol because in the middle of an X protocol stack you can have a network as a standard component. Let's look at a specific use case. A physicist in Berlin wants to run an experiment at the CERN in Switzerland on one of the nuclear particle colliders. He logs in remotely and runs a data analysis program on one of CERN's supercomputer arrays and graphs the results on his screen.
In Berlin, the physicist has an X-terminal device running some X-server software that is providing a graphical display capability to remote applications. The X-server software has a framebuffer that talks to the specific device driver for the specific hardware. And the X-server software speaks the X protocol. So the layers might be graphical device->device driver->frame buffer->X server->X protocol.
Then, in Switzerland, the application connects to a display using the X protocol and sends graphic display commands like "draw rectangle" or "alpha blend". The application probably uses a high level graphical library and that library will likely, in turn, be based on a lower level library. For instance the application may be written in Python using the WxWidget toolkit which is built on top of GTK which uses a library called Cairo for core graphical drawing commands. There may also be OPENGL also on top of Cairo. The layers might be like this: WxWidgets->GTK->Cairo->X Toolkit->X protocol. Clearly it is the protocol in the middle that connects things, and since Linux also supports UNIX sockets, a completely internal transport for data, these two types of things can run on one machine if you want to.
X refers to the protocol and anything fundamental to the architecture such as the X-server that runs the graphical display, pointing device and keyboard.
GTK and QT are two general purpose GUI libraries that support windows, dialogs, buttons, etc.
GNOME and KDE are two desktop environments that manage the windows on the graphical desktop, provide useful applets and thingies like button bars. They also allow multiple applications to communicate through the X-server (X-terminal device) even if the apps are running on different remote computers. For instance copy and paste is a form of interapplication communication. GNOME is built on top of GTK. KDE is build on top of QT. And it is possible to run GNOME apps on a KDE desktop or KDE apps on a GNOME desktop because they all work with the same underlying X-protocol.
Linux on desktop and some servers is still all X and frame buffer graphics. Under X window -It comes GTK+ and Qt, YES BOTH uses X system, again there are lot of desktop environments - Gnome, KDE uses X display and their shells, etc.
Btw, There was a recent video from linux conf (http://blip.tv/file/4693305/). Keith Packard from Intel spoken about X and GL* It was interesting.
This is its organization, you'll learn more from this picture that from several pages of text:

The scene where Ariadne closes two mirror planes opposite each other and breaks one.
Can someone explain what that meant?
The scene where Ariadne closes two mirror planes opposite each other and breaks one.
Can someone explain what that meant?
Ariadne is in the process of changing the dream and Cobb's subconscious senses the changes and begins to attack her. With the mirrors, Ariadne is discovering a way to create changes in the dream that Cobb's mind can accept. In this instance, she creates an extended road that wasn't there before. Cobb's mind accepts the change in the dream because the two mirrors create the illusion of an extended road. All that is left for her to do is break the mirror and she successfully creates a road without bothering Cobb's subconscious.
This explanation fits best with the context of the discussion between Cobb and Ariadne.
The scene is to demonstrate the limit of her mind.
Earlier on, she was seen creating the folding road, something that her mind was able to rationalize based on the creativity that is allowed within her sub-conscious.
Within Inception, a lot of activity within dreams is based on seeing things. Notice the feel and weight of a totem actually tells someone whether they are dreaming on or not. It would seem that this (weight, touch) is not quantifiable when dreaming.
So to test the limit, of an infinite loop of reflections, seeing that light can only travel so far, what is actually going on beyond the mirror? Is it an actual reflection or are they looking at something parallel with the current projections within the dreams thereby recursing the hallways out of existing material (notice one end of the walkway ends before placing the mirror and now it follows with a new continuous bikepath and you cannot actually see the end of it)
So two ways it could be interpreted (in my opinion), either
The second seems less likely as it would end up in a discontinuity of the movie environment and Cobb's reaction. My bet is on the first way, she was trying to create an infinite hallway and the break symbolizes either her own actions to break it or the limit of her conscious to what exactly would be an infinite hallway.
The scene takes place in Ariadne's second shared-dreaming experience with Cobb.
The purpose of this scene is for her to play around in the world, discovering that while she is in control, she can manipulate anything. This includes turning solid air into a mirror-door and also to show off some fancy visual effects in the movie (endless mirrors without showing a camera).
Other than that, there is no real cryptic explanation that I can find for this scene other than her playing around with the physics and her own creation skills within a dream. As well as enable the writer's to give some background to what shared dreaming actually is and the mechanics of it all (projections, extraction, etc)
As well as allowing a bit of eye-candy for the movie, I think it is used as a device by the writers to explain some of the background of the shared dreaming experience:
EDIT: On balance I don't think I've answered the Mirror issue as well as phwd (+1), but I think these are important points that are brought into the scene with the mirror and the bridge.
I believe this scene has two meanings, one for Cobb and the other for Ariadne- one inside another.
I imagine that seeing the self in the infinite mirror and witnessing a breaking mirror could presents the conscious and subconscious to confront itself and change.
You will notice that they are completely alone in the scene between the mirrors and prior to the enclosure Cobb's subconscious was beginning to feel uneasy and threatened by the sudden changes to the dream world. Perhaps this paradox provided a solution. After the mirrors shattered the ease is restored and subconscious resumes it's existence. In a sense she forces his subconscious to change.
Also, it is clear that Ariadne posses a formative imagination and this is a display of that and her control. Mirrors in dreams are said to suggest a link or connection between the conscious and subconscious mind.

Due to rise in Cloud computational model , computational heavy tasks are being outsourced to a remote server for economic reasons, and there is need for computational privacy .
Is there any crypto formalization for computational privacy ( other than homomorphic encryption ) ?

If you enable syncing to Google, what exactly is synced in a more technical way? E.g. about syncing app data, I guess there is just one standard path synchronized? Has anyone seen a more technical documentation of the synching, that describes, what exactly is synchronized?
Google Dashboard is a service for accessing a simple view of the data associated with a Google account. With Dashboard you can also get a list of your Android apps that store data in the Google cloud, the dates of their latest backups, the amount of storage they use, and some additional data such as the date you first registered the device. To access this information:
You can check this e.g. in the Honeycomb User Guide. Basically, it sums up to the following:
Additionally, app developers can use this API to have their apps data backup'd along -- but only few do so. Furthermore I wouldn't rely on this backup -- there are many reports that, while the backup works, the restore not always does: It seems there's no way to manually trigger it, and on initialization after e.g. a factory reset (or with a new device) it often fails. also, as far as I know, it's an all-or-nothing thing: You can have it let all your backed-up data restore (as described before), or not.

Hi, I have a paper that I'm reading and they propose an equation,
a = exp^{bT},
that is fitted to their measurements, and give the value of
b as well as the coefficient of determination. Is this sufficient information to constrain the value of the standard error, and if so, how might I go about doing that? Could I just add values sampled from a normal distribution with mean of zero; play around with the standard deviation of this distribution until I get something that gives me the target
R^2, and assume the standard error of that fit? (That's a form of bootstrapping?)

Just like your beloved childhood treat, these homemade Pop-Tarts are warm, sweet, and well spiced with cinnamon. We love the layer of irresistibly lickable icing, but if you prefer your tarts au naturel, you can easily leave it aside.
Either way, a day spent making these will definitely end up with a round "ooh"s and "ahh"s and probably some "no-way-these-were-my-favorite-squee!"s as well.

Last day I have been interviewed and the interviewer asked me as given the outline of a project, how can we determine the number of resources to be needed for the same?
I don't know to do so.
Is there any standard way of doing so? or is it based on the experience? Or how?
I am pretty new in this activity and my knowledge is zero at present .... so any clear explanation with some example(simple) will help me(and people like me) to understand this.

Help! I need to get a jar of pasta sauce open but can't seem to budge it. I've tried using a dishtowel, and running it under hot water, but the lid is still stuck. What else can I do to open this jar?
Go around the edges, tapping the rim with the handle of a butter knife (leaving little dents). That should allow you to twist it off.
Ok - finally got it open! While googling, I came across a suggestion to cover the lid with a plastic glove and use that for traction. Not sure if it was the combination of running under hot water + the glove, or if the glove would've worked on it's own, but it's open now :)
In future, if you're using a jar that you'll be emptying (like pasta sauce), the quickest way to open them is take a sharp, sturdy, pointed knife (or even a screwdriver), brace the jar well in a cloth, then carefully make a hole in the top of the lid (just place the point on it and give it a tap or two on the end of the handle). This breaks the seal of the jar, which is what makes it hard to open.
One thing that has worked for me is to slide a flat (butter) knife along the glass under the edge of the lid. Turn slightly to break the seal. Warning -- if your knife isn't strong, it will twist the blade. You'll know if you got it, since you'll be able to hear the seal breaking
My favorite jar opener:
You just need a gentle lift to let a little air in and then you can remove the top bare-handed. The lid is not damaged (unless you use more force than necessary).
In a pinch, you can use channel-lock pliers to do the same thing. Hold the pliers "upside-down" so the longer jaw is under the edge of the jar lid and the other jaw is against the top and gently lift. A little air leaks in just as with the JarKey and then you easily open the jar by hand.
You need to depressurize it. It is very easy to do to simply take the pointed edge of a fork and jab the top of the container (the tin lid). Any small puncture made will work, once done the lid will open normally without any strenuous force. This method will work in the case where traction cannot force the lid open.
Other suggestions would be:
Either (1) Tap around the lid with a hammer/meat pounder or (2) Grab the lid with a rubber glove and twist.
Put a rubber band around the lid of the jar, grip firmly, and twist.
I've had success with 2 methods .. 1: Tap the lid on the edge of a worktop, working all the way round. 2: Either hold the top of the jar under running hot water or stand jar upside down in a bowl of hot water for a couple of minutes. (failing that I shout for son or husband!!).
For a few years I have used a Culinare One Touch Jar Opener. I bought one for my grandmother who was too weak to open jars herself and she loved it, and as I have a touch of RSI, thought I would get one for myself, it can open pretty much any straight sided jar - tad noisy, but very effective! (Amazon)
The OXO Good Grips Jar Opener works well for me. I have arthritis in my thumbs of all places.
use a butter knife and stick it in between the side of the lid and the jar. Pry it away from the jar a bit, and this should let air inside, making it incredibly easy to open (since there's no vacuum anymore)
Sometimes the vacuum in the jar causes a lot of friction between the lid and the jar. Holding the jar upside down and banging a few times on the bottom with your palm can get some air inside and free the lid.
If you want to open a jar keep it in boiling hot water as glass is poor conductor of heat it will contract and the lid will expand and your jar would be opened

I have computed a generating function for a problem involving a particular series, and would like to know if anyone has any references or a categorisation for it? It's $$ G(a,z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a^n z^{(n+1)(n+2)/2}. $$ It appears to be related to (mock) theta functions, but seems to be simpler. In particular, I would like to know whether $G(a,z)$ satisfies any identities?
Many thanks.

All Aluminum Hemi Engine - The Sky's The Limit - TechWritten by on October 1, 2009 New Lightweight Hemi Crate Engine. It'll Be Hard To Keep Your Front Wheels On The Ground
If you're like us, when you hear the words "aluminum Hemi" your mind leaps to images of nitro-slurping funny cars and rail dragsters from the golden age of drag racing-engines with satin-finished blower cases, fuel injection "bug catcher" intakes and fuel lines the size of fire hoses.
A generation ago, such a combination would have made an untold amount of horsepower, but times change. Today, it's possible to have an aluminum Hemi crate engine that makes nearly 80 percent of the power of the old fuel-sipping blown Hemi engines, but now it could be naturally aspirated with a single four-barrel carburetor-and on pump gas.
So, yes, we're talking about a streetable, nearly 800-horsepower all-aluminum Hemi engine. If that sounds almost too good to be true, consider that the fully dressed engine weighs only about as much as fully dressed iron small-block combination (527 pounds in our dyno-test trim).
What's the catch, you ask? None, really, other than the fact that World Products isn't exactly giving them away. But if your street/strip machine is in need of a big injection of power and your checking account is still more or less intact in these troubling economic times, World's big-inch, big-power aluminum Hemi is the cure for the low-e.t. blues-or the fix for a street machine that needs a little more attention on Saturday's cruise night.
The classic 426-style Hemi flirted with extinction on more than one occasion during the past 30 years, but it was kept alive by determined and dedicated enthusiasts. World Products entered the Hemi world a couple of years ago when it entered into a partnership with Mopar Performance to cast new, iron cylinder blocks.
But while the iron block is exclusively a Mopar Performance item, World used its design work on the block and then cast an aluminum version that's all theirs (they've even got a hardcore graphite block for the serious race engine builder). Like the iron casting they manufacture for Mopar, the aluminum block carries a variety of improvements over the original 426 Street Hemi on which it's based-features designed to improve the block's overall strength and ability to support larger-displacement combinations. This includes a provision for an externally mounted oil pump to free up extra room inside the block for a longer-stroke crankshaft.
More importantly, the aluminum block weighs only 142 pounds. That's less than half of the iron version's approximate 300-pound weight. The project engine outlined in this story displaces a Grand Canyon-esque 572 cubic inches-achieved with a square, 4.500-inch bore and 4.500-inch stroke combination (the block will accommodate up to a 4.750-inch crank, for a total of 612 cubic inches).
Channeling air in sufficient quantity to support the 572-inch displacement is a set of Indy 426-1RA aluminum heads. They offer big, 251cc intake runners, and 2.400/1.940-inch valves that allow more than 500 cfm worth of airflow at 28 inches of water.
The raised-port design of the heads requires non-standard pushrods, measuring 10.47 inches long on the intake side and 11.45 inches on the exhaust side. The heads also wear Indy's rocker arms, consisting of 1.60-ratio rockers on the intake side and 1.55-ratio rockers on the exhaust side-all mounted on an adjustable shaft system.
The hydraulic roller camshaft delivers .381/.381-inch lift and .258/266 degrees of duration on a wide, 114-degree lobe separation angle. That may seem like a comparatively mild cam by non-Hemi standards, but it works very well at balancing the engine's displacement and airflow capability of the Indy heads. It was also selected to enhance streetability, as the wider centerline delivers a good idle quality while helping build upper-rpm power.
Between the big-flowing heads is an Indy 9.25-inch-tall aluminum intake and an AED-built 1050 Dominator carb. It's a pretty simple combination that relies on the engine's large displacement and a generation's worth of airflow research to make big power. On World Products' engine dyno, our project engine put up some very impressive numbers, with the best being 776.8 horsepower at 7,100 rpm and 641.7 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,800 rpm.
Designed for the high-rpm power needs of the drag strip, our aluminum Hemi project engine crossed the 500-horsepower mark soon after 4,000 rpm, hitting the 600-horse level by 5,100 rpm, and the 700-horsepower threshold by 5,800 rpm. In fact, the horsepower climbed steeply to its 776.8 peak and was still making 771 horses at the test's 7,300-rpm limit.
That's a great power curve and a stellar rev range for a 572-inch Hemi and its mechanically mild valvetrain. And considering it weighs less than 600 pounds in its dyno trim, it's a lightweight powerhouse, too. Even better, it's got a street-able 9.5:1 compression ratio.
World Products' aluminum Hemi definitely has the juice to yank the front tires and pull your Mopar down the 1,320 with the ferocity reminiscent of the good-old days-and with its good idle quality and pump-gas compression ratio, you could drive that track star to and from the strip.
The good-old days were never this good.

To make room for longer-stroke combinations, World Products modified the Hemi block's oil pickup locations, but even with that, the longest-stroked combinations would encounter interference. So, the block also has provisions to accommodate an externally mounted oil pump. This allows the use of a block-off plate for the original-style pickup to be installed (seen here) inside the block, freeing up space for long-reaching connecting rods.The camshaft is a solid roller that delivers .381/.381-inch lift and 258/266 degrees of duration on a 114-degree lobe separation angle. It has a comparatively small base circle that enhances valve lift, while the larger lobe separation supports a wider power band and greater upper-rpm power. The camshaft is located in the original position, allowing for a standard double-row, roller timing set. World Products also offers the Hemi block with the cam position raised .250-inch for builders using the maximum 4.750-inch stroke. That setup, however, requires a custom front drive system.Despite the oil system revisions in order to accommodate the long-stroke rotating assembly, a conventional, off-the-shelf oil pan can be bolted on the block. This one's from Milodon and has a 7-quart capacity. Note the 12-AN fitting for the external oil line.The lungs on our engine are Indy's 426-1RA Legend heads. Compared to stock Hemi heads, they feature raised intake and exhaust ports, as well as exhaust valves canted 2 degrees toward the cylinder wall for greater clearance. Indy rates the airflow at 510 cfm on the intake side (at 28 inches of water).The externally-mounted oil pump is a racing-style pump that can flow up to 21 gpm, but works well on the street, too.A 7-inch-tall Indy, single-plane intake manifold supports the small-for-a-Hemi AED-prepped 1,050 Dominator carb.The combustion chamber volume of the Indy heads is 170cc, and the valves measure 2.400 inches on the intake side and 1.940 inches on the exhaust side.The finished engine assembly is dressed with the plugs, wires and other accessories that are typical of a World Products crate engine. It's an impressive sight, particularly when you understand that it weighs less than 600 pounds-about the same as a similarly dressed iron small-block engine.
An MSD Pro Billet distributor is slipped into the cylinder block. A bronze intermediate shaft bushing is part of the basic cylinder-block setup.Our engine was put through its paces on World's dynamometer, where it laid down some impressive numbers. Horsepower pegged at 776.8 at 7,100 rpm, while torque reached 641.7 lb.-ft. at 5,800. For a big-displacement Hemi, this one revs willingly and should be a lot of fun in a strip-prepped A- or B-Body.

How would one go about doing this? Is it safe to freeze?
Pasta freezes well, if you do it right. In fact, i know of a very famous italian restaurant in NY that freeZes their pasta and they make fresh everyday. They cycle through new pasta every three days and they serve ALOT of pasta. The chef dared me to tell the difference. And he's right. 99.9% of people can't tell.
To freeze, bundle into small amounts (eg wrap around or hand), enough for single servings. Put on a tray, with a little semolina flour or cornmeal dusted underneath ( to prevent sticking). Keep each bunch seperate, they cant touch. Put into frezzer. Once frozen ( few hours), transfer to a ziplock freezer bag. It will keep for several months, but I'd eat it within one month.
To use dump straight into boiling water. Make sure you have a big pot of water at a full boil ( because the frozen pasta will drop the temp more than unfrozen). Stir immediately.
This works very well....
Yes, it is safe to freeze. You want to freeze in a quantity you can eat or in a way you can get it to a quantity you can eat in a single portion. I often dry mine then freeze.
Freeze away! After making the noodles but before cooking let the noodle air dry on a drying rack for maybe 30 minutes, then put in zipper freezer bags in whatever serving size you want. When it is time to eat - pull from freezer, have boiling salted water ready to go and plop it into the pan for 3-5 minutes. It will cook a lot faster. No need to defrost. You can also make raviolis and then freeze them. Works great for me, egg or egg-free.

Merchant Mariners
The merchant marine is that part of the maritime trade industry concerned with transporting cargo (and sometimes passengers) from place to place via water routes; it is also known as the commercial shipping industry. Merchant mariners operate ships and other water vessels on domestic and international waters. Workers on these ships are divided into three crews: the deck crew, which handles navigation and cargo operations, the engine crew, which oversees the generating system that propels the ship, and the steward department, which sees to meals and living quarters. Each crew is commanded by a designated officer. Water transportation workers hold 66,330 jobs.
