Ten Best Intranets of 2006
Summary: This year, we saw increased use of multimedia, e-learning, internal blogs, and mobile access. Winning companies also encouraged consistent design by emphasizing training for content contributors.
The ten best-designed intranets for 2006 are:
- Allianz Australia Insurance, Australia
- ALTANA Pharma AG, Germany
- Bank of Ireland Group, Ireland
- Capital One, USA
- Merrill Lynch, USA
- METRO Group, Germany
- Staples, USA
- Vodafone Group, UK
(Detailed descriptions and screenshots of the ten designs are in the full report.)
This is the first year in which a majority of the winners hail from outside the United States, underlining the continued growth of good intranet design around the world. In fact, the globalization of good intranet design is actually greater than what this simple list implies; many of the winning companies are highly multinational, with team members operating in multiple countries. At Vodafone, for example, intranet technology is managed from Germany, with development efforts occurring in California, Spain, Italy, and Egypt.
This year's winners are all large companies, with an average size of 80,000 employees. In previous years, we've always had winners with only a few hundred employees, but this year the smallest company has 3,000 employees. It might be that large companies are finally making intranet quality a high priority, and thus their more substantial resources make it harder for smaller companies to compete. One year's results, however, are insufficient to confirm such a trend.
In any case, while smaller organizations might not have the resources to implement as many features, they can apply many of the lessons learned from large companies' design efforts.
One trend from earlier years that persists is the strong showing for financial companies. This year, financial companies represent 40% of the winners, while manufacturing companies continue to be underrepresented. The possible reason for this is that financial companies have a tradition of emphasizing usability and white-collar productivity, while manufacturing companies have historically focused on physical concerns and thus have less experience in creating good screen-based designs.
Continuing Trends
One notable trend from past competitions -- to enforce a consistent look and feel across the intranet -- is even more prominent this year. Almost all winners have active programs in place to evangelize templates and design standards.
Several winning intranets have special training activities for content contributors, teaching them how to use design templates correctly and how to produce optimal intranet pages. Templates, after all, give users some leeway in applying styles and layouts. Authors therefore need training to employ templates correctly and thus maintain a consistent intranet design.
To further this goal, Bank of Ireland, for one, offers an extensive, searchable knowledge base with tips for intranet publishers. Such training support is necessary to achieve a unified intranet design. It's not enough to simply publish rules and design standards; you must teach them as well.
Another continuing trend we saw was the use of task-based information architectures, rather than IAs based on a companys business units.
Navigation systems have become very complete, with good global and local navigation. Companies typically present navigation in the left column of a page, running utility features across the top of the page -- often with a layout similar to the typical intranet homepage. Many of the winning intranets also make excellent use of breadcrumbs to further help users orient themselves in the large information spaces found on todays intranets.
Another earlier trend that continues to hold for many of this year's winners is the use of kiosks to allow intranet access for employees who don't work in offices. Staples even has kiosks in its stores that let employees show shoppers a special intranet version limited to information that helps facilitate sales. Conversely, the Bank of Ireland intranet contains selected Web content for branch personnel who don't have access to the public Internet from their work terminals.
Technology Diversity
As in previous years, the technology used to implement intranets shows astounding diversity. Across the ten winning companies, the teams used a total of 54 different products. Clearly, we're far from a consolidated market in which one or two dominant providers offer everything you need. Instead, intranet teams must stitch together their own solutions with multiple parts from multiple vendors. In fact, 40% of the winners had to custom build their own content management systems (CMS).
This year's most-used products were Apache, Autonomy, BEA Portal, EMC Documentum, IBM WebSphere, J2EE, Lotus Domino and Lotus Notes, Lucene search engine, Microsoft SQL, Oracle database, Verity, and various versions of Windows servers.
Most of this year's winners make significant use of video on their intranets, taking advantage of the high bandwidths usually found on corporate networks. Vodafone probably has the most extensive integration of video, with a special Vodafone TV area featuring video from a global team of correspondents.
Poorly used, intranet videos can substantially reduce productivity. It's important, for example, to correctly set users' expectations so that they only click through to videos they actually want to see. Merrill Lynch links to videos through a highly effective gateway page that offers a concise summary of the video's event, along with information about the featured speakers. The time required to write such pages is nothing compared to the time it can save thousands of employees.
Multimedia doesn't have to entail video; simpler media types also have their place. For example, IBM's employee directory includes audio files with the pronunciation of people's names -- a particularly useful feature in a multinational company.
Web Trends on Intranets
In addition to increased video use, we see many other general Web trends migrating to the intranet realm. This makes sense, since most employees use websites for business or in their private lives. Thus, they often come to expect or even demand specific features or design approaches commonly found on the Web.
A striking example of this is ALTANA's system for ordering supplies. The system uses a full-fledged e-commerce metaphor, complete with shopping cart. People are accustomed to picking products in a certain way -- why not leverage this knowledge by designing a feature they already know how to use? Another good example is the IBM intranet's extensive use of weblogs, including a powerful dashboard interface that lets users monitor other blogs, as well as follow-ups to their own postings and comments. Despite considerable Web hype, however, we're not seeing much business blogging in most companies.
More targeted, task-related tools tend to work better. Staples, for example, offers a blog-like feature where store managers inform each other about their progress in preparing for advertised sales offers. But, rather than offer this feature in a separate community area, Staples has a simple notepad-like annotation field in the intranet area where managers view the advertising circulars. These are just-in-time, just-in-place notes -- just for this one crucial task.
Finally, we spotted a contra-trend: the first good use of overlay graphics (where an image appears on top of the content). On the Web, this is one of the most annoying and repellant advertising techniques. Nonetheless, Allianz Australia effectively uses overlays to highlight and explain useful new intranet features. Of course, we usually caution against using techniques associated with hated Web design approaches. Do so only with extreme care and only when you're sure that the intranet's special circumstances allow the technique to add value.
Mobile Access
Although mobile intranet is not yet widespread, several of this year's winners support mobile features. O2 has a special mobile edition of its intranet that's optimized for the BlackBerry and strips the homepage down to a few of its most useful links. O2 also nicely integrates the employee directory with mobile features, for example by allowing users to send an SMS with someone's contact information from the directory to their cell phone.
Vodafone -- the other telecommunications carrier among this year's winners -- also offers extensive mobile access to its intranet, with simplified pages for smartphones. Its mobile intranet scales back content services, using fewer headlines so users can scan news listings on a smaller screen. Important applications, including the employee directory, have special user interfaces optimized for mobile access.
These mobile-oriented screens drive home the fact that mobile devices and networks have evolved to the point where they can be extremely useful for business people when they're away from the office. Mobile devices are no longer just phones; they're also intranet extensions -- at least when the intranet has features designed for smaller screens. This trend toward offering intranet access from mobile devices will surely continue as an understanding of the concept's value extends beyond the telecommunications companies that are currently leading the way (because of their early aptitudes and interest in mobile technologies).
Training And E-Learning
Another trend this year was an increased use of training areas on intranets. The best designs often locate traditional training options and e-learning in one area. After all, from a user's perspective, what's important is learning -- regardless of whether it takes place online or in a classroom. Many intranets also offer special training areas to help new employees learn about their new companies.
The METRO Group has a particularly extensive set of e-learning features to educate its more than 250,000 employees about the ever-changing retail industry. Many tutorials are presented as interactive Flash animations, with a single interface integrating text, images, and moving images, plus simple controls to pace the presentation.
Enhancing e-learning user interface controls in this manner is important: people often feel disoriented or frustrated when tutorials take over their screens and don't allow them the freedoms normally inherent in the Web (and intranet) user experiences.
A notable example of a unique e-learning feature is METRO Group's Knowledge Quest game, which teaches employees advanced retailing concepts. While games are not common on intranets, they do have their place in e-learning, since they can increase learners' motivation by adding an element of fun.
On the topic of fun, it's worth mentioning the O2 Fun Zone , which lets employees download ringtones -- one of O2's most important products. While not an e-learning feature per se, it does encourage employees to gain more first-hand experience with ringtone use. The O2 Fun Zone also lets employees send each other company-branded e-cards -- featuring such things as holiday, birthday, and get-well wishes -- which enhances a sense of community.
ROI and Expected Use
IBM dubbed its employee directory BluePages in reference to the company's "Big Blue" nickname. BluePages is one of the most impressive staff directories we've ever seen (and we've seen hundreds). The design team estimates that the redesign of this killer app saves employees 72 minutes per month. Likewise, IBM's redesign of its managers' area is estimated to save each manager 42 minutes per month -- a particularly important accomplishment given the higher salaries for this user group.
Given IBMs size, the productivity gains from improving the intranet's design translate into huge amounts of money. BluePages alone is estimated to save IBM $194 million per year. Of course, smaller companies wouldn't realize quite such large savings, but it's certainly realistic to save an hour or more per employee per month when an intranet is redesigned for usability. At typical, fully loaded hourly rates, this often results in approximate savings of $1,000 per year for each employee -- a cool million for a mid-sized company with a thousand employees.
In general, too few intranets perform careful studies of productivity improvements, and thus rarely have hard ROI numbers. This was true for most of this year's winners. It's more common to measure an intranet's increased use and then say, "If people use it more, it must be better."
On that front, across all winners this year, intranet page views increased an average of 106% after redesign. These are obviously winning designs; in general, it's more realistic to expect intranet use to increase by slightly less than 100% after a redesign for increased usability.
Even so, you can realize even greater usage increases with more specialized applications simply by making them easier to access. For example, Staples has a "profit improvement culture" program for employees to contribute suggestions for making the company more profitable by cutting costs, improving processes, and so on. When the company placed this submission process on the intranet, the number of employee suggestions tripled. Staples estimates it has saved $200 million based on the ideas generated through this program.
Another way of looking at an intranet's success is to measure the proportion of employees who use the intranet. Among the winners, employee use of the intranet ranges from 75% to 99%. Obviously, the exact percentage of employees who use an intranet will depend on the types of jobs they perform. Office staff and knowledge workers tend to use intranet features more frequently than people who work on a factory floor or process transactions. In general, though, you should aim for at least 75% use overall. If less than half of your office-based employees use the intranet, then you probably have a usability disaster on your hands.
Usability Methodology and Design Process
Approaches to intranet design are stabilizing: new designs stay usable longer. On average, this year's winners let 33 months pass between intranet redesigns, up from 29 months for last year's winners. The redesign projects for this year's winners took an average of ten months, which is fairly speedy.
Despite such rapid design processes, redesign teams are nevertheless finding time for more user research. In looking across six years of design annuals, usability activities are clearly increasing. The following figure shows a comparison between the first three years and the last three years in terms of how often intranet projects employed usability methods:
Proportion of winning intranet projects that employed some of the main usability methods.
All methods show increased use, though heuristic evaluation has especially grown. This makes sense, because this method relies on evaluating a user interface relative to a known set of usability principles (the "heuristics"). In the early years of intranets, there were no documented intranet usability findings, which made it difficult to use this method. Now, however, intranet designers have access to well-documented user research and systematized knowledge about intranet usability, and they can apply this knowledge to judge their own designs.
Accessibility is still not a major concern for most intranets. This year, however, we saw many intranet designs that consider users with disabilities and include some accessibility features. Although very few projects went so far as to conduct actual accessibility testing with disabled users, several projects follow basic accessibility guidelines, such as avoiding frozen font sizes.
This increased attention to accessibility might be related to the larger size, on average, of this year's winning companies. The larger the company, the more employees with disabilities, and thus the greater the payoff from making the intranet accessible. Larger companies are also likely to have more older employees , who often need special usability accommodations as well.
Intranet Branding
It's an eternal question: Should you give your intranet a special brand name? Among our earlier winners, opinions have been almost evenly split: 59% of intranets were branded, and 41% were simply called "the intranet." This year, however, branding took a major upswing: 80% of the winners use it.
This year's intranet names include: in site, My One Place, On Demand Workplace (ODW), WorldNet, Networking, vitalO2, Staples@work, and vista.
One year is hardly a trend, particularly since only 50% of last year's winners were branded. Also, a great design with no name will beat a crummy intranet with a snazzy name anytime. Consistency in design and page layout does more to brand the intranet than any name.
Finally, there's no need to overdo the branding: intranets are for internal use, and you're not competing against fifty other intranets. We've seen many intranets that overflow with advertising for different business units, or even for the intranet itself. Such heavy promotions backfire. In the best case, users simply ignore them; in the worst case, they drastically reduce user productivity.

On Tuesday, the Pratt High School girls golf team had a nice performance to open the season at the always tough Nickerson Invitational. In addition to being played on one on the area's more treacherous courses (Hutchinson's vaunted Highlands), there were 12 schools in attendance, making it one of PHS' more competitive meets.
The Lady Greenback linksters came through in fine shape, however, sporting two individual medalists and taking 4th as a team with 214 points.
Leading the way for Pratt was senior returning-state-qualifier Morgan Schmidt. Schmidt pocketed the silver medal on the day with a 43. She played steadily on the difficult course, not carding a score over 6 on any of the holes.
Joining Schmidt in the medals was Lauren Beardsley, who took 7th with a 49.
Rounding out the scoring for Pratt, Kayla Baer took 21st with a 56 and Shelby Richards shot a 66, good for 37th place in the meet that featured between 60 and 65 golfers.
Lexie Lanterman also played for PHS, carding a 76. Only the top 4 golfers count toward team scores.
The meet was won by Cheney who turned in a 204 as a team, and individually by Lane Evans of Maize South with a 36. The next meet for the girls was scheduled for Tuesday at Medicine Lodge, but it has been cancelled. Pratt hosts a home meet at Park Hills on Monday September 16.

I have wondered for some time why I find it so hard to keep motivated to do things like exercising, reading, looking for business opportunities, getting up early etc. I have tried a raft of different techniques to "unlock" motivation to do these things but nothing seems to last.
It occurred to me today that I manage to always get out of bed, no matter how I feel physically or emotionally, to go to work. I have had some jobs where I have felt sick to the stomach turning up each day but I still did it. Rain, hail or shine...you get the point.
Why am wired to complete this activity every day without looking at it as "I needed motivation to do it?". What is my motivation to do this and how can I translate it to other activities?

5 Insane 'What If' Scenarios That Almost Changed Everything
For every terrible tragedy history has handed us, there is an infinitely long list of disasters that we narrowly missed. The geopolitical complexion of the entire world can change radically due to one leader's spur-of-the-moment decision, or just pure dumb luck.
Here are five ways history almost took a turn for the awful.
#5. Japan Was Almost Invaded -- and Maybe Divided -- by the Soviets
Imagine if Japan were in the same situation as Korea -- split in half, one part the free anime-loving country we know, the other half a backward communist nightmare. That might have been just days away from happening at the end of World War II.
As the war drew to a close, the next conflict was already emerging, with the Soviets and the rest of the Allies each trying to gain control over the defeated Axis countries. That is, of course, why some wound up getting divided, like North and South Korea and East and West Germany. Well, that exact thing almost happened to Japan.
"The southern half will be known as South Japan. The northern will be known as Eastern Kentucky."
In August of 1945, the final days of the war, the Soviets rolled a fearsome ground army into Japanese-controlled Manchuria to push the outlying forces back. This was part of a joint Allied strategy and actually began the same day as the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, because this strategy was apparently codenamed Japan Can Go Straight to Hell. Japan was thoroughly crushed by the combined offensive (we daresay probably more so by the two doomsday explosions leveled at them with weapons that no one had ever seen before) and surrendered six days later, signing the official surrender documents in early September.
However, according to some historians, the USSR originally had no intention of stopping at Manchuria. It was supposed to be the pre-game show of a full-scale invasion of Japan itself, which would've seen the Red Army folk-dance its way across the Pacific Ocean and squat-kick the island nation into submission.
It would have looked exactly like this.
The Soviets planned to begin their invasion in the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido in late August, a full two months before the Allied invasion, Operation Olympic, was scheduled to take place. However, Stalin kept his plan a secret from the other Allied forces and had absolutely no intention of telling them anything about it, preferring to wait until the forces of Operation Olympic stormed the shores of Japan to find him sitting in the emperor's palace watching cartoons. In fact, some theorize that Japan surrendered not because they were afraid of more atomic bombs from the U.S., but because they were afraid of the Soviets.
So what would have happened if Stalin had managed to plunge his forces into Japan before the war had ended? We'll never know, but based on how it went down with the other disputed territories, it's easy to guess. Stalin would've had a legitimate claim to, if nothing else, split the island in two once the war was over, maybe with a North and South Japan (possibly even a partitioned Tokyo), with a hotly contested border constantly patrolled on either side by varying groups of aggressively non-Japanese people.
We'll let you guess which side this would have been.
How would that have changed the complexion of the Cold War? Would Japan have still become the economic and technological powerhouse it is today? Would there have been a weird Japanese version of Kim Jong Il? It sets so many dominoes in motion that it hurts the brain to think about it.
#4. Lincoln Was Nearly Assassinated Before He Took Office
As you probably can guess from the whole "country almost split in two during his administration" thing, Abraham Lincoln was one of the most polarizing presidents in American history. People threatened to kill him pretty much all the goddamned time -- by some estimates, he received more than 10,000 death threats during his first term alone (keep in mind that this was the 1860s, before death threats became the currency of the Internet). Chief among those threats was the Baltimore Plot, one of the earliest and most serious assassination attempts ever hatched against the president. Had it been successful (as it very nearly was), Abraham Lincoln would have been murdered before he'd ever served a single day as president, and Bill and Ted would've definitely failed their history project.
Via Wikipedia
Daniel Day-Lewis might have had to content himself with starring in Davis.
According to the CIA, the plot called for Lincoln to be assassinated while passing through Baltimore by train en route to his inauguration in February of 1861. Baltimore was already a hotbed of Confederate-leaning Abe haters, so the conspirators simply hired a bunch of them to stage a riot as the president-elect's train passed through, thus creating enough chaotic distraction to allow an assassin to appear out of the crowd and blast Lincoln. It's not like the Secret Service existed yet, so the deed wouldn't have been too hard to accomplish.
Once the plot was discovered and confirmed by several independent investigators, Lincoln's itinerary was changed at the last minute into a circuitous riddle involving multiple train changes, carriage rides, and telegraph offices to keep his location secret. He arrived in Washington in complete anonymity. That's right: This was the president-elect of the United States, and they had to hide him to keep him from being killed.
Via Wikipedia
Let's not even imagine America with a beardless Lincoln.
When Lincoln was finally sworn in on March 4, 1861, it was under the protection of a standing army complete with rooftop-haunting sharpshooters fucking daring Baltimore to come and try something.
#3. Lyndon B. Johnson Was Almost Killed on the Same Day as JFK
Via Wikipedia
As tragic as JFK's murder was, imagine what it would have been like for the nation to lose Lyndon B. Johnson, Kennedy's vice president and the newly appointed president of the United States, just a few hours later. Because a Secret Service agent totally almost shot him by accident.
As documented in The Kennedy Detail: JFK's Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence, Agent Gerald Blaine was patrolling the Johnson estate in Washington only 14 hours after Kennedy had been killed when he saw a dark figure appear out of the night. Now, under normal circumstances, Blaine would've probably assumed that it was Johnson or a member of his family, seeing as how he was on Johnson's home property at the time. However, the president had just been assassinated and everyone was on high alert, so on this particular night, Blaine's first response was to point his machine gun at the figure, with his finger on the trigger.
Via Wikipedia
"... and I thought, 'I can't die, I've so much of a prick left to be.'"
When Blaine finally saw the person clearly, he realized that he was aiming his weapon at Lyndon B. Johnson, who had frozen in his tracks and gone pants-shitting white. Johnson said nothing, turned around, and went directly back into his house, presumably to clean the aforementioned pants with brandy and tears. In addition to being perhaps the only real-life Twilight Zone/Shyamalan twist ever to occur in modern history, the death of two presidents in such a short period of time would've led to a constitutional crisis the likes of which the nation had never seen. People are already convinced that the Kennedy assassination was some kind of inside operation, even after half a century -- imagine what the national landscape would've been like if Johnson had gotten snuffed out the same day, by his own Secret Service detail. Do you think anyone would have bought the "It was a wacky innocent mistake!" explanation?
The presidency would've passed to 71-year-old Speaker of the House John William McCormack, a guy who was routinely bullied by the people in Washington who just wanted to nuke the hell out of Cuba and be done with it, and there would have been no way to convince the American public that it hadn't been engineered to happen that way. We're not entirely convinced that the history we know isn't some alternate timeline brought about by time travelers trying to repair the past as best they could from the damage done by a McCormack presidency.

Plus, we never would have seen LBJ's Harvey Keitel phase.

I am trying to find all functions f satisfying $f'(t)=f(t)+\int_a^bf(t)dt$.
This is a problem from Spivak's Calculus and it is the chapter about Logarithms and Exponential functions. I gave up and read the solution (which I quickly regretted, but at the same time realized that I had not carefully read one very important theorem* in the text) to find that it begins with:
We know $f''(t)=f'(t)$.
How do we know this? Also, in general, how would you have approached this problem? Any solution with your thoughts written out would be very appreciated. I am not interested in the solution, but the thought process behind this.
*For the curious, the theorem was that:
If $f$ is differentiable and $f'(x)=f(x)$ for all $x$ then there is a number $c$ s.t. $f(x)=ce^x$ for all $x$.

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] mpi_init waits 64 seconds if vpn is connected
From: Ralph Castain (rhc_at_[hidden])
Date: 2013-03-22 00:25:45
The process is hanging trying to open a TCP connection back to mpirun. I would have thought that excluding the vpn interface would help, but it could be that there is still some interference from the vpn software itself - as you probably know, vpn generally tries to restrict connections.
I don't recall seeing this behavior with my laptop (which also runs with a Cisco vpn), but I'll check it again in the morning and let you know.

Indeed, there is a function named

I have a HP 6510b notebook.
Are there any solutions for hardware encryption? I mean I don't want to use software encryption like LUKS, but I don't want that that if my notebook gets stolen the thiefs could get my data stored on it.
Are there any methods, e.g.: a password prompt shows up when I want to boot my pc (even if i suspended/hibernated it)? So are there any "integrated" HDD encryptions available?
thank you.

I'm putting hardwood floors in my kitchen and living room, which next to each other. The kitchen has vinyl flooring, so it is slightly higher than the living room, which has carpet on subfloor. I want the hardwood to be at the same level in both rooms so I don't need a threshold between the rooms. Is it possible to remove the vinyl? I imagine it is glued down.
Yep, it's actually pretty easy. For the most part it'll peel up, you just need a good scraper (available at Home Depot in the flooring tools aisle) to get up the stuck down parts. Don't worry about getting all the glue up, just get the majority of the chunks up so that the floor is smooth.
Definitely remove the vinyl no matter what the subfloor is. Especially if it is on particle board. Do the job right and don't listen to so-called carpenters giving bad advice and cutting corners. Remove that particle board too and add plywood to get your heights level. You will never be disappointed doing a job the right way!! Good Luck
I'm surprised no one mentioned asbestos. Apparently it's common in old/70s vinyl flooring. Stirring it up and be a huge health risk. I plan to get take a sample and get it tested
The vinyl is very likely glued to particle board, which is attached to the subfloor (the subfloor can't be particle board because it's not a structural material). This is the way our kitchen was done.
Removing it is fairly simple; make cuts about 2' apart with a circular saw set to cut only through the particle board. You can then pull it up in sections. I would use a "remodeling" blade that is capable of cutting through any nails you might hit.
I definitely recommend to do this; getting the same height will give you a much better result.

We are able to detect the direction of sound because of our brain's capbility to measures the time lag and amplitude difference between the sound that reaches our ears. However the sound produced by a source 10 meters directly in front of us and sound produced by another source 10 meters directly behind us would produce the same effect on both our ears, but how do we distinguish the sound as coming from front and behind?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:20
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
A couple of the answers above have parts of the information. The brain uses interaural, time, amplitude, frequency and phase differences to locate sounds. In the case of the sounds coming from behind you versus those in front of you, time, phase, and amplitude will be equal at both ears for the most part. However, there is a frequency difference due to the pinna effect. The pinna and the concha of the outer ear have a filtering effect for high frequency sounds. The pinna effect and the concha effect combine to gradually reduce sounds from directly behind you beginning at about 1200 Hz and effectively increasing slightly with frequency up to 8000Hz - 10,000 Hz. It is that slight differnce in high frequency amplitude that allows you to determine if the sound is from the front or back. However, it will require you to turn your head to do so. Just facing toward or away from a high frequency signal will give you the absolute amplitude information but not the relative difference from front to back. You need that relative difference to localize those sounds. as someone mentioned above, you can turn your head about 30 - 45 degrees away from a sound and it will get louder. That is the reverse of the pinna effect described here. That is why we naturally cock our heads a bit and raise our chins when we are trying to hear a very soft sound.
how do we distinguish the sound as coming from front and behind?
Good question. We don't. I'm often searching birds by sound in the field and I'm often confused with this. We often have quarrels with my girlfriend whether the bird was in front of us or behind :-) You have to turn your head to the side, little bit off the axis. That's also why some owls have their ears placed asymmetrically.
Human brain uses the time-lag to detect the direction. I doubt it can use amplitude, as there will be almost no difference in it.
I believe that the pinna of the ear causes a frequency filtering effect as well, when the originating sound is behind the head. See this Wikipedia article. NCH Article.
This fact is being used in hearing aid development and construction to improve localization results for wearers. One hearing device manufacturer that I'm aware of, Unitron, has even branded a "Pinna Effect" technology that, according to their website, helps recreate the natural directionality of sound.
From: http://unitron.com/unitron/global/en/professional/products/technologies.html
Our brain uses the delay between both ears, loudness, frequency, and what it "knows" about previous signals. This is called localization.
Also people don't hold their head still, by changing orientation we can narrow down a source more precisely.

I recently acquired a Surly Steamroller (fixed gear bike). I want to ride is as a single speed for everyday use. I changed out the rear wheel and got one with a flip-flop hub. I'd also like to add a rear brake but I'm not sure what will work. The Surly website states that standard reach post mount calipers are compatible but that's for the current model. My bike is a number of years old. The other problem is that there are no stops for housing. Any suggestions for my best option(s)? Thanks.

The steamroller will work (for the last 5 years at least) with a standard reach rear brake. Any model will do. As for housing stops, you must use a full length housing, and zipp tie it to the top tube of the frame, or have someone add riveted stops. Full length housing is easier, cheaper, and doesn't void your warranty.
You can pick up any low-cost standard-reach rear brake. In a pinch, some of the models from Nashbar work. You can zip-tie or run cable clips to route your brake cable. Be sure to acquire a long length of cable housing.
I recommend not adding a rear brake, you should add a front brake instead, and learn to use it properly. Any standard reach front brake should work fine.
If you want to have both brakes, then use the full length housing and zip ties as others have mentioned.
The complete bike as specd by Surly has a front brake only.

I was watching a TV show and heard them using the expression 凭什么 to say 'why' - I hadn't heard this with this exact meaning before, so I'm wondering what the proper meaning is in English, and what the proper meaning is in Mandarin?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

"凭什么" is something similar to "who do you think you are to say i can't do it?" or "you're not qualified to judge me"
凭 is a coverb meaning "based on." If you're looking for a Chinese meaning, my dictionary defines it as 根据 (i.e. based on, according to). In the example you gave, 凭什么 can be understood as "on what basis?", which is only a short jump to "why?"
凭 is commonly used with the word 票, as in:
Edit: As ziyuang helpfully points out, 凭什么 has a somewhat accusatory tone and implies that the action in question is unwarranted. (That's how "on what basis?" sounds to me in English, but it may not have that sense for everyone.)
"凭什么"has a tone of questioning and a little bit angry,its similar to "by what".For example:"你!凭什么左右我的心情!"means"You! By what can you control my feelings".

How much experience a web site visitor has with Internet usage could help us decide what structure, functionality and design we should focus on.
If the target group is novice users we need to build a very easy-to-use web site with a minimal amount of functionality. Novice users isn't likely to use personalization options or advanced system configuration. Instead we need to rely more on step-by-step instructions or wizards. If it's a e-commerce web site we need to emphasize trust for example. Etc.
But how do you measure Internet usage experience? By amount of time spent on browsing the Internet in a week and total? On the time spend on our web site or similar web sites? What are the breakpoints? By asking technical related questions to see if people has a good technical understanding? Is there any standard methods for this? How do you it?

What's the best iPad case for kids?
Looking for a durable case for an iPad 2 that would help protect it from accidental falls.
14 Answers answer
I'd say an otterbox, or if you can wait a lifeproof. We have one for our iPhone, and it's great.
Big Grips Frame™ is the iPad case made for kids. It's big, squishy, easy to grab, comfortable to hold, and very grip-able.
Big Grips Stand™ is a matching stand for working at a desk, lying on the couch, or kicking back and watching stuff
I'd go with a GumDrop case at http://amzn.com/B004PYD95K .
Price may be too high though, but of all the drop proof cases I've seen.. this one I like.
Also found a lengthy review of 10 possible cases for kids http://youtu.be/r5Nj-GTj8w0 while I was looking for (and ended up liking) this case..
^- That big grips case looks cool too for durability and kid-proofing, but not for me. lol.
As for lifeproof, indeed its indestructible and waterproof.. but I'd say you lose the sound from the speakers big time when everything is closed up.
Wow you got an iPad for your kids? Don't tell mine - I can't even justify one for me (but thankfully I'm a developer and my company gives me one). I let the kids play games on it sometimes, but it's not even mine, much less theirs...
Thanks for posting this! Looking for a case for my mil who drops things more than my kids, and these are great leads.
As an aside, I was given an iPad 3 for my birthday, so I sold my iPad 1 (also a gift) to my oldest child. That's the only reason one of my kids has an iPad! Middle one is saving to buy her own. That might take a while...
Thats Great! Get Otterbox from http://www.sfplanet.com where they provide 30% off and also free shipping all over the U.S.
Don't forget to use the coupon code: "OTT30OFF" to avail this offer.
I guess it depends on their age & demeanor but if young and typically rough on things the best case would be to enclose it in your wall safe and not let the kid know its in there ;>)
That should ensure neither your kid or their friends can destroy this rather expensive device.
KaysCase KidBox - definitely fun and functional!
This Hello Kitty ipad 2 Smart Cover + back cover of course will be the best one, find it here http://www.case2case.net/hello-kitty-ipad-2-smart-cover-back-cover.html
This is a really great ipad case for kids. My little one is pretty rough with it and so far so good!!
A good one for high school/college kids would be the Loaded Gear HD-10 case. It's completely watertight and they have a video showing it getting run over by a car and surviving with a working iPad inside. If it can handle that, then I'm sure it can handle being tossed around in a backpack just fine!
Here's the link. Don't forget to use the promo code "GEAR2" and get 15% off!
Here's the video showing it getting run over by a car.
I originally went with the GumDrop case, but just bought an iPad Smart Case from Apple: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD454LL/A/ipad-smart-case-polyurethane-dark-gray
We'll see how it works out.
I like the lifetouch. My littlest 3 year old loves his ipad and his 5 year old brother can't seem to destroy his either. They are rough with them and the 5 year old has had his for almost 1.5 years and the 3 year got his last xmas.
The genuine leather case could be a best solution for child, for genuine leather case is a natural material and soft which will not possible do harm on child as other hard case, a best case also have high demand on workmanship so GGMM leather case could be a recommended as you could see here:

RW Essen, Season 1, 2009-10 - German Third Division
Predicted - 17th
Finished - 8th
League Table Link
Upon arrival at the newly promoted to the German Third Division side, I went over a quick review of the squad. Quite a few players were released, some were transfer listed, whilst others were attracting interesting from bigger clubs.A lot of the players that were originally with the team stayed with us, but there was still a significant amount of players that left the club during the summer. This screenshot, provides you with all the in's and out's of my first season in charge. As you can see we profited a lot from selling Markus Neumayr for 300K. He seemed to be an important player and one of the best in the team, but he wasn't irreplaceable. The only player I spent any money on was Markus Heppke. He was pretty much a direct replacement for former right sided midfielder Neumayr. Despite paying a mere 40K for him, just over 7 times less than the amount we sold Neumayr for, he was a fantastic signing. Moritz Steinle was one of few players brought in for nothing, and the left back walked into the first team, making the left back position his own. Timo Nagy, comes under the same category as Steinle, apart from the fact he is a left sided midfielder, he was another good freebie buy. The only noteable loan signing that parent club Hertha BSC supplied us with was Damir Coric, who was one of the two first team DC's for the fairly short time he was with us. At the end of the season our squad looked like this.
'Team of 2009-10' (this is my team of the season, and wont always be the same as what the AI chooses).
GK - Andre Maczkowiak, 27, German
DR - Dennis Buhrer, 27, German
DL - Moritz Steinle, 27, German
DC - Damir Cocic, 19, German *on loan*
DC - David Czyszczon, 28, German
MR - Markus Heppke, 24, German
ML - Timo Nagy, 27, German
MC - Stefan Kuhne, 29, German
MC - Mike Wunderlich, 24, German
ST - Silvio Pagano, 24, Italian
ST - Sascha Molders, 25, German
The squad I have at the moment is good, and gives me a lot to build upon next season. It will provide me with a good chance to get rid of some of the players that aren't worth keeping, and also further develop some of the promising youth players in the U19's. Apart from Dennis Buhrer who is joining 1860 Munich on a Bosman and Damir Cocic who will be returning to Hertha from his loan deal, I hope all the other 'first team' will stay. Sascha Molders will be especially crucial to this, the new vice-captain was not only the Top Scorer in the League, but also featured in the German Third Division Team of the Season where Goalkeeper Andre Maczkowiak was also named. New signing Markus Heppke didn't win signing of the season, but he was third place in the German Third Division Player of the Season. Elsewhere the clubs finances look nice, with the club making a profit of over 100K this season.
Aims for next season -
- Don't do any worse in the League than this season
- Bring in a few younger players
- Enjoy our first stint in the German Cup

Erik Jones (#20 DeWalt Toyota Camry) had the best 10-lap consecutive average speed in the XFINITY Series final practice for the U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway.
Blake Koch (#11 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Chevrolet Camaro) tops the speed chart in the Final Practice session for the XFINITY Series U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway.
Chase Briscoe earned his fourth consecutive ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards victory Friday afternoon at Pocono Raceway, dominating the ModSpace 150.
Brendan Gaughan (#62 U.S. Cellular Chevrolet Camaro) had the best 10-lap consecutive average speed in the first practice for the XFINITY Series U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway.
Sam Hornish Jr. (#2 Rheem Chevrolet Camaro) led the first practice session for the XFINITY Series U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway.
Martin Truex Jr. will lead the Pennsylvania 400 field to green Sunday at Pocono Raceway. His lap of 179.244 mph was good enough to outpace Carl Edwards' 178.873. This is Truex's 10th career pole.
Kevin Harvick posted the 17th fastest time in the second round of qualification and failed to advance to the final session. He will be forced to advance through the pack once the green flag waves.
Jimmie Johnson was one of several notable drivers who failed to advance to the final round of qualification for the Pennsylvania 400. His speed of 176.094 mph was only good enough for 21st on the grid.
Kyle and Kurt Busch both failed to advance to the third and final round of qualification. Kyle posted a lap of 177.054 mph while Kurt was marginally better with a 177.183. Kyle starts the Pennsylvania 400 16th; Kurt will line up 15th.
As time ran out on the first practice session, Jeff Gordon jumped from 24th to 22nd, moving the Greg Biffle to the bubble (24th). Biffle's crew thought he was safe, but Chris Buescher was on track and logged a lap of 175.987 mph—jumping to 18th in the process, and bumping Biffle from round two. Biffle's speed was 175.603 mph.
Kyle Busch was the last driver to pass inspection for qualification at Pocono Raceway. He was not cleared to get onto the track because of a camber issue until half of the session was over and did not get onto the track until only six minutes remains.

text: I will start the day by uploading a lesson on something cool. For those of you who are familiar with a horror movie being noted for the similarity of Saw. Today we will be learning "how to draw the Purge Mask", step by step. The mask looks very much like a creepy ventriloquist doll. The plastic or shiny porcelain textured surface that makes up the canvas for the mask's face helps make the image perfect. Drawing the Purge mask should be simple enough. All you are really doing is making exaggerated parts of the face stand out; like the mouth, eyes and cheeks. Anyways, have fun with this exciting lesson and I will meet you all back here soon with more fun.

Chinese Shares' Future Brightens
Shanghai Composite Posts Biggest Jump, 4.3%, in Over Three Years Ahead of Economic Meeting
SHANGHAI—Chinese stocks mounted their best performance in more than three years on Friday, in the latest sign of growing optimism in the world's No. 2 economy.
China's Shanghai Composite Index, one of the world's worst-performing stock benchmarks this year, rose 4.3% on Friday and is up 8.6% so far this month. Friday marked the index's biggest single-day gain since Oct. 9, 2009.
Shares rose after a closely watched outside gauge of the country's manufacturing activity showed a second-straight month of growth. HSBC's HSBC 1.14 % preliminary manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to a 14-month high of 50.9 in December, up from a November final reading of 50.5. A tally exceeding 50 indicates manufacturing expansion.
Market watchers say investors are also encouraged by prospects for a coming economic-policy conclave and a possible move by authorities to ease a potential oversupply of shares on the market.
The meeting of top policy makers could take place as soon as this weekend and leaders are expected to lay out goals for next year.
"The market is gaining momentum on expectations that the coming Central Economic Work Conference may release an official target for 2013 GDP growth and offer a more detailed policy for urbanization, which will boost investments," said Huang Cendong, an analyst at Tebon Securities.
Urbanization, or the continuing movement of China's once mostly rural population to urban areas, is a key part of Beijing's goal of rebalancing the economy to depend more on consumer consumption and less on big-ticket infrastructure projects.
Investors hope urbanization will be a key topic at the conference. New Chinese Communist Party No. 2 Li Keqiang, who is widely expected to succeed Premier Wen Jiabao in March as the country's economic manager, has recently been touting urbanization as the country's next big growth driver.
It isn't clear whether investor hopes will translate into pro-growth policies. The government hasn't formally released dates for the conference, and the results likely won't be revealed immediately.
Earlier this week, the Caixin media group reported that China will likely continue to implement an "active" fiscal policy and a "prudent" monetary policy and may target an economic growth rate of 7.5%, unchanged form this year's target.
Government actions this year to help the market haven't had a lasting impact for investors who are worried about an overhang of impending new shares. Despite a strong December, the Shanghai Composite Index is still down 2.2% thus far this year.
Earlier, the state-run China Securities Journal said the nation's securities regulator looking at easing funding pressure on initial public offering hopefuls by pointing them to the over-the-counter, bond and overseas markets.
If implemented, such measures "may help soothe concerns over a potential share glut and thus boost sentiment," said Sun Zheng, an investment adviser with Dongxing Securities.
The IPO market in China has come to a standstill since Oct. 10, when the China Securities Regulatory Commission stopped reviewing or approving fresh listing proposals.
Officials at the CSRC weren't immediately available for comment.
As of Dec. 6, more than 800 companies were waiting for IPO approvals, according to official data.

no Saudi U.N. delegation urges disarmament Saudi Arabia calls for nuclear-free zone in the Middle East
Saudi U.N. delegation calls for Mideast nuclear-free zone
March 30, 2010
Ambassador Khalid Al-Nafisee, the Kingdom's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, declared in a
before the U.N. Disarmament Commission today that Saudi Arabia is "fully committed to the principles of disarmament designated by the international community" and called for a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East. "There is no other solution to achieve a secured and dignified life for future generations but to strengthen international peace and security through the respect of international treaties and conventions on disarmament and non-proliferation," he said.
However, Ambassador Al-Nafisee criticized states already in possession of nuclear weapons for their unwillingness to dispose of their own stockpiles. This behavior, he argued, has led to continued competition in both the testing and production of nuclear weapons. "The deviation from the principles of international legitimacy, the provisions of international law and the requirements of international justice has been and remains the main cause of the risks experienced in the Middle East, including the Gulf region, from the dangers of weapons of mass destruction," the Ambassador stated. "The matter of ignoring the Israeli nuclear program for decades, which does not even invoke the production of electricity but only produces weapons of mass destruction, constitutes an original sin that stimulates some countries to move forward in the development of their nuclear capabilities." The best solution, he insisted, "is to declare the Middle East, including the Gulf region, a free zone of all weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, without any exceptions."
Ambassador Al-Nafisee confirmed the right of every state to harness nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and called upon all parties to "commit themselves to a peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear issue." Furthermore, he stressed the importance of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and urged Iran to "always declares that its nuclear program is designated for peaceful purposes."

Goodguys Street Machine Autocross Events - Texas JamWritten by Johnny Hunkins on August 1, 2011 Muscle machines face off for the first of five PHR-sponsored Goodguys Street Machine Autocross events
For decades, autocrossing was the domain of geeky car nerds with underpowered imports. Real men drag raced, or sometimes road raced—if they had that kind of money. Then something funny happened: as production car handling got better, a gap emerged between muscle cars of yore and even the most pedestrian of commuters. Inevitably, that gap became so enormous it begged the question: Are muscle cars damned to the same fate as prewar restorations, coming out into the light of day only for the occasional Shriner's parade?
Somewhere along the path to perpetual lawn chairdom, a big bunch of us decided collectively that we still wanted to drive our cars. Check that—I mean beat the holy crap out of 'em. Suddenly, those weenie import guys seemed to be onto something with their autocrossing. Now we're playing catch-up, and the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association is helping us do just that with their autocross events that they hold in conjunction with most of their car shows.
About four years ago, Goodguys began holding autocrosses at selected events, testing the waters to see if hot rodders would bite. They sure did, and not only that, it created a huge throng of spectators—something nobody expected. Once again in 2011, Goodguys is holding autocross events at all venues large enough to hold them (that's most of them right now). We're proud to say that Popular Hot Rodding has joined forces with Goodguys to sponsor five of those, and we'll be giving away a custom embroidered winner's jacket to the street machine pilot with the fastest lap time at each of those events.
As popular as the Goodguys autocross has become, it's still a work in progress. As spectators become participants and participants become aware of their cars' shortcomings, there is a steep learning curve. Those 15-inch bias-ply tires, drum brakes, and tiny (or no) sway bars were fine back in 1969, but they really stink when you're carving cones. Likewise, as manufacturers discover—then join—the Goodguys autocross, they become more aware of new product opportunities, and areas that they could improve upon. If you're getting the idea that this is all hugely fun with guys trading stories, competing, and learning cool tricks and tips from manufacturers and car builders, you'd be right.
The cool thing about autocrossing is that it gives guys a taste of real speed and handling in a competitive environment without the risk associated with driving on a full-on road course. Lap times are short—usually well under a minute—which means tires, brakes, and engines are seldom at risk, even in the least prepared cars. The worst that can happen is hitting a cone—in which case your ego is hurt, and you suffer a 1-second penalty to your lap time.
The first PHR-sponsored Goodguys Autocross took place at the Spring Lonestar Nationals in Dallas, held March 18-20. When the dust settled, Brian Finch of Hermitage, Tennessee, won the jacket, with a best lap time of 39.557 from his LS3-equipped '71 Camaro. Congratulations to Brian, who now has a target on his back going into the next PHR Autocross at Nashville on May 20-22. See you then!

Ted Parrish (Bethany, Oklahoma) is somewhat of an adrenaline junkie when it comes to cars. He brought out not one, but two corner-carving cars to Dallas—a '66 Shelby Cobra, and a '56 Pontiac Safari. The Superformance Cobra kit car was understandably agile, but the old Pontiac was the real crowd pleaser with its 572ci big-block Chevy, Tremec TKO tranny, Wilwood brakes, and Mustang II-style front suspension. Parrish got the car 47 years ago by trading a seat for it!The crowd thrilled to watch a procession of street machines and street rods teeter precariously around the cone minefield. While it's a given that well-equipped cars are fun to watch, it's really spectacular to watch the epic failure of old stock suspensions—of which there were many.Ted Parrish (Bethany, Oklahoma) is somewhat of an adrenaline junkie when it comes to cars.

Parrish got the car 47 years ago by trading a seat for it!The entire weekend, Kevin Miller (Baldwin City, Kansas) piloted his LS1-powered '69 Camaro to the top of the e.t. chart, only to have eventual winner Brian Finch knock him down a notch. What's particularly cool about Miller's car is that he built the front tubular subframe and rear two-link suspension himself on a skinny kid budget. These homemade parts were good enough to garner Second Place.Outmanned and outgunned by many of the hot Chevys on hand, Wayne Walker (Plano, Texas) had his work cut out for him with his '65 Mustang. Even with a full-boat Heidts suspension front and rear, Walker was hampered by a lack of practice on the autocross circuit. Keep trying Walker—you've got the serious hardware, try to get some more seat time!Mark Turner racked up an 11th Place finish with his '73 Trans Am. The second-gen F-body features a KRE-headed 461-inch Poncho motor for the true Pontiac enthusiasts, a Tremec six-speed, RideTech suspension, Wilwood brakes, and Nitto NT555 rubber.That moaning sound you hear is Photo Editor Robert McGaffin making goo-goo eyes at the '65 F-85 Cutlass Olds of Rocky Stephens (Covington, Texas). Rocky's owned it 13 years and transplanted an LS1 and 4L60E out of a fourth-gen Camaro. If we didn't know better, we'd say the paint was Ford Mustang Mineral Gray Metallic.John Dodson loves turbocharging LS engines, and that's exactly what he did with his '60 Chevy Parkwood wagon! It's run a best of 7.85/94.8 in the eighth-mile (that's low 12s for the rest of us), but on the autocross it managed a 45.75-second lap. We're chasing Dodson for a story on it, along with its sister car, a Carousel Red '69 GTO.Few cars made more laps at Goodguys than Terry Neuville and his '68 Camaro. Like a man possessed, Neuville was determined to run the fastest lap of the event—and got damn close, with a 40.444—good for Third Place. The front suspension is a combination of Global West and QA1, while the rear is all DSE QuadraLink. Baer brakes get it stopped, and a combination of Nitto (front) and BFG (rear) rubber does all the work.
We mentioned Jeff Peoples' '72 Buick Skylark GS in last month's Bangin' Gears column, and it's one sweet ride. Peoples built it with friend Mike Modena, and it packs a 525hp 455 Buick, 200-4R overdrive, SPC front control arms, 2-inch drop spindles, Spohn adjustable rear control arms, C5 Corvette Z06 brakes, and Nitto NT-05 rubber. Peoples ran the eighth best lap overall.When the dust settled, the highly competitive Brian Finch of Hermitage, Tennessee, pulled out the fastest lap in the PHR Street Machine class. His Detroit Speed & Engineering–equipped '71 Camaro pulled off a 39.557-second lap, and won him the first of five PHR Street Machine jackets. Finch says he's coming after a few more in the months ahead. Can anybody knock Finch off his throne?!

I've read about kimchi, which is a traditional Korean food made from vegetables. I'm not sure I can find Napa cabbage here in Hungary though - can I make it with regular vegetables?
To answer your specific scenario, kimchi has myriad variations using any number of vegetables, from perilla leaves to Korean radishes to napa cabbage. There are forms of kimchi that involve no chilies (white kimchi), some involve a lot of water and bear little resemblance to the typical napa cabbage one (mul kimchi). The main constraints for Korean-ness of kimchi will be that you've fermented it (for all of the types that I can think of, anyway), and that it doesn't stray too far from familiar Korean flavor profiles (rules that you can break if you've got a deep enough foundation in Korean culinary traditions).
Napa cabbage isn't particularly hard to find in Europe, however, so I'm not sure why it would need to be substituted. For whatever reason, it was called "Chinese cabbage" in Germany; I'd be surprised if you couldn't find it. If I wanted to make the typical cabbage kimchi, the hardest thing would have been finding the right kind of chili powder, which I was able to obtain without too much trouble when I was a 20 year old student there many years ago. Then, the typical small bits of raw oysters or other kinds of fish or dried shrimp can reasonably be substituted with locally available ingredients (and some regions in Korea don't always use those ingredients anyway).

Some Problem with JSON
Just downloaded the cool ext-2.1. Was looking at the example of layout-browser.But there is a minor glitch which i'm not able to get thru.
Online http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/exam...t-browser.html this seems to work absolutely fine with all entries getting loaded up in respective layout categories like Basic Ext Layout,custom Layout etc.
But when i tried to run the same example offline thru the downloaded ext 2.1 kit, tree-data.json file which it seems to reference does not load the required data like accordion,anchor,border etc. onto the example.
If somebody can help me in getting to run the example offline...Why Json is not loading..
22 Apr 2008 2:55 PM #2
This has been answered many times; XHR requires a webserver to work properly. There are some workarounds available, but i do not recall what exactly those are.

Look at the response in firebug.
23 Apr 2008 12:16 PM #5
At least one of the tree examples uses php for the backend to get the files. That php file assumes json_encode is available, which your version of php may not have. See the stickied thread this forum on json encoding if this sounds like it might be your issue (it's not just php4, it's like php <5.1 or 5.2 or something).MJ

Got it working with xampp
Hi All,
I got the layout browser example working by installing xampp 1.6.6a on my system and placing the EXT 2.1 folder in htdocs folder.
I usually code in vs 2005 and depend on IIS 5.1.So when it clicked to me that php might be missing link i correctly installed php-5.2.5 but still i was not able to run example with IIS.
Any suggestions to run example through IIS might be welcome.
24 Apr 2008 5:27 AM #7
For IIS the response is "HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed Internet Information Services".Its basically an ajax request in ext-base.js which ask for "application/json" but IIS is not permitting the request to go through.
Please let me know the workaround for IIS 5.1 so that this example can run on it.
25 Apr 2008 4:32 AM #8
I'm still unable to run the example in localhost of IIS.Firebug Console gives me error "POST http://localhost:9090/Project/tree-data.json 405 (735ms)
I have attached console.txt to show exact error details.
Also i made a change in IIS (Defaul website properties > HTTP Headers >MIME Type and added .json as "text/javascript" as coded in ext-base.js
I tried Mime type as "text/plain" and "text/html"...It still did'nt worked.
But it is still not working
Please let me know how to correct this problem

Issue is treeloader which loads json data in tree panel is not displayed through IIS webserver though xampp loads it just fine.Infact I tried running localhost/example.json and it displayed json file contents on xampp while IIS didn't recognise the file type and hence didn't opened.
I tried changing MIME type in IIS viz.
.json = "text/plain","text/html","text/json","application/json" and nothing worked.
In IIS i also tried to set header type i.e content-type="application/json"...It did'nt worked..
Also in treeloader requestmethod which is default "POST" i tried changing it to "GET"...
Still i'm not able to work this....I will be working on weekend to just solve this..
Please help me out solve this

There is a well-known "chaotic hypothesis" dating from 1995 or so in statistical physics that suggests that classical statistical-physical systems should be "effectively" Anosov. I won't get into the details of this, but I want to use it (and the observation that despite the Heisenberg group nilmanifold example, from the POV of statistical physics most "useful" Anosov systems are based on toral automorphisms or perturbations thereof) to motivate the following question:
Given a generic "nice" Hamiltonian $H$, at any point it should admit a quadratic approximation and the corresponding toral automorphism (which exists and is unique). Does anyone think that it is plausible to, or better still know of attempts (especially successful ones) to, work on the chaotic hypothesis by piecing these local approximations together (I'm naively thinking of taking connected sums of tori and patching together integral curves, which seems a little silly, but still...)?

Softball Wraps up Nonconference Slate at ErskineApril 2, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Currently riding a three-game win streak, the Anderson University softball team will square off against archrival Erskine on Thursday, as the Trojans will be playing their sixth game in a five day span. First-pitch against the Flying Fleet is slated for 2 p.m. at the Erskine College Softball Complex.
With at least a split in Thursday's twin bill, Anderson would claim possession of the coveted Beville Cup for the fourth time in five years and sixth time in the last eight years.
Originally known as the Anderson/Erskine Cup, it is a competition between Erskine and Anderson's athletics programs that was established in the fall of 2003 and is sponsored by ARAMARK in order to promote and enhance the rivalry between the Trojans and Flying Fleet, whose campuses are separated only by 20 miles.
The winner of the Beville Cup each year has the award presented each spring to its student-athletes and coaches by the losing athletics director, traditionally at their postseason banquet/awards night.
The Trojans
Anderson is 27-9 overall, including a 20-4 mark against nonconference opponents, and has won six of its last eight outings.
As a team, the Trojans lead the South Atlantic Conference in runs scored, home runs, RBI, walks, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, while ranking second in batting average, doubles and total bases.
The explosive Trojan offense has four of the league's top nine hitters in its lineup, with sophomore Molly Child leading the way in second with her .436 batting average. The center fielder leads the league with her .744 slugging percentage, while ranking second in the conference with her 51 hits and nine home runs. She has hit safely in three straight games and 21 of the last 22 contests. Junior Jessica Neidigh ranks sixth in the league and second on the team with a .395 batting average and has reached base safely in 16 of AU's last 19 games. The swift leadoff batter is a perfect 18-of-18 in stolen bases on the season, with the tally tying for tops in the league. Currently second on AU's all-time career hits list, the Lawrenceville, Ga. native is third in the SAC with 49 hits on the season.
Senior first baseman Danielle Swygert enters Thursday's contests ranked eighth in the league in hitting at .383 on the strength of an eight-game hitting streak. The veteran has recorded the game-winning RBI in each of the Trojans' last three victories, including last Sunday's come-from-behind win over league-leading Wingate. The left-hander belted Anderson's second grand slam of the season to lift the Trojans to a 6-3 win past Tusculum on Tuesday and followed with a game-winning RBI-single in the nightcap.
Fellow senior shortstop Abby Child is hitting .382 on the season and leads the league with 10 home runs and 24 walks. She ranks second, just behind Molly Child, with her .736 slugging percentage and is in the top-12 in five additional offensive categories.
Junior outfielder Rebecca Martin is hitting a career-best .329 on the season and has a career-best six home runs, which ties her for ninth in the SAC. Freshman outfielder Courtney Czentnar is hitting .327 on the season and has reached base safely in 11 of AU's last 14 games. The Lawrenceville, Ga. native belted a two-run homer in the win past Wingate and is third on the squad with her .673 slugging percentage.
In the circle, freshman hurler Lauren Rudesheim (13-4) has won four straight decisions and is tied for fourth the conference with her 13 victories, while junior Katelynn Howser (9-4) leads the squad and ranks sixth in the league with her 1.88 ERA. Rookie right-hander Augie Pena (5-1) has earned wins in her last three decisions and has struck out 54 batters, while walking just 16 in 41 1/3 innings of work. Her 9.15 strikeouts per contest rank second in the league.
The Flying Fleet
Erskine (11-15, 4-4 CC), which lost seven seniors from last year's squad that went 14-24-2 overall and 10-9-1 in Conference Carolinas, was a preseason pick to finish fifth in the coaches' preseason poll. The Fleet captured the program's first conference tournament title two years ago, but slipped to seventh in the league's regular-season standings last year and was eliminated from the conference tournament with two consecutive losses.
The Flying Fleet returned four starting infielders, including two seniors - at catcher, third base, shortstop and first base. Behind the plate, senior Ashlyn Hicks is a career .294 hitter and earned second-team all-conference accolades last year. Shortstop Whitney Brown is the other returning senior.
At third base, Erskine returns junior Ericka McCarson, who earned Conference Freshman of the Year honoree two seasons ago. She was second on the team last season in home runs and runs batted in, while sophomore Christine Long returns at first base.
The Flying Fleet has won three of its last outings and is coming off a sweep past Lander on Tuesday. Erskine opens a four-game homestand with Thursday afternoon's twin bill, and has recorded identical 5-7 records both at home and away on the season, while going 1-1 at neutral sites.
The Series vs. Erskine
The Trojans and Flying Fleet have met 40 times in a series that dates back to the 1998 season, with Erskine holding a 24-16 advantage in the overall 16-year series. The two teams have traded three-game win streaks since the 2009 campaign, with Anderson currently owning the latest three-game streak. The Trojans swept last season's doubleheader and topped the Flying Fleet in the nightcap of the 2012 matchup.
The Flying Fleet earned wins in 10 of the first 12 meetings from 1998-2001, while the Trojans have won seven of the last 11 matchups, including sweeping last year's twin bill. Anderson outhit the Fleet, 16-7, and ripped a pair of home runs and three doubles to take the wins.
Neidigh was 5-for-6 with a double, four RBI and scored four times, while Swygert added three singles, a double, a walk and three RBI. Molly Child was 3-for-5 in the doubleheader, with three singles and two runs scored.
