I understand the differences between interpreted and compiled languages, but if someone could provide some examples of situations when one is likely to use interpreted languages over compiled languages, as well as situations when one is likely to use compiled languages over interpreted languages, it'd be really helpful.

There's (to my knowledge) no such thing as an interpretted "language" or a compiled "language".
Languages specify the syntax and meaning of the code's keywords, flow constructs and various other things, but I am aware of no language which specifies whether or not it must be compiled or interpreted in the language spec.
Now if you're question is when you use a language compiler vs a language interpreter, it really comes down to the pro's/con's of the compiler vs. the interpreter and the purpose of project.
For instance, you may use the JRuby compiler for easier integration with java libraries instead of the MRI ruby interpreter. There are likely also reasons to use the MRI ruby interpreter over JRuby, I'm unfamiliar with the language though and can't speak to this.
Touted benefits of interpreters:
Touted benefits of compilers:
However, I would bet in 90% of cases it goes something more like this: I want to write this software in blub because I know it well and it should do a good job. I'll use the blub interpreter (or compiler) because it is the generally accepted canonical method for writing software in blub.
So TL;DR is basically, on a case by case basis comparison of the interpreters vs the compilers for your particular use case.
Also, FFI: Foreign Function Interface, in other words interface for interoperating with other languages. More reading at wikipedia
An important point here is that many language implementations actually do some sort of hybrid of both. Many commonly used languages today work by compiling a program into a intermediate format such as bytecode, and then executing that in an interpreter. This is how Java, C#, Python, Ruby, and Lua are typically implemented. In fact, this is arguably how most language in use today are implemented. So, the fact is, language today both interpret and compile their code. Some of these languages have an additional JIT compiler to convert the bytecode to native code for execution.
In my opinion, we should stop talking about interpreted and compiled languages because they are no longer useful categories for distinguishing the complexities of today's language implementations.
When you ask about the merits of interpreted and compiled languages, you probably mean something else. You may be asking about the merit of static/dynamic typing, the merits of distributing native executables, the relative advantages of JIT and AOT compilation. These are all issues which get conflated with interpretation/compilation but are different issues.
First of all, a programming language can be both inerpreted and compiled. Interpretion and compilation are just methods of generating executable code from the source code. With an interpreter the source code is being read and interpreted by an interpreter which then executes the code as it interprets it. A compiler on the other hand reads the source code and generates an executable binary file from the source code - so that the program can be ran as a separate process independently.
Now before anyone wonders... Yes, C/C++/C#/Java can be interpreted, and yes, JavaScript and Bash scripts can be compiled. Whether there are working interpreters or compilers for these languages is another question though.
Now to actually answer the question when we'll use "interpreted language" over "compiled language". The question itself is somewhat confusing, but I assume it means when to prefer interpretion over compilation. One of th downsides of compilation is that it generates some overhead due to compilation process - the source code has to be compiled to executable machine code so it's not suitable for tasks which require minimal delay when invoking the source code to execute a program. On the other hand compiled source code is almost always faster than equivalent interpreted source code due to the overhead caused by interpreting the code. Interpreters on the other hand can invoke and run the source code with very little invocation overhead, but at the expense of run-time performance.
In the end it's near impossible to mention any definite use cases when to prefer one after another, but for example one (to my undersanding very unrealistic) case would be when the program source code changes dynamically between program invocations and the overhead of compiling is too high for it to be viable choice. In that case interpreting the source code instead of compiling would probably be desirable.
However, there's something which can be regarded a real-world example: hidnig source code upon deployment. With natively compiled code the developer deploys the executable macine code of the program and data. With interpreted code the source code itself has to be deployed which can then be inspected and reverse-engineered wit much less effort than what it is to reverse-engineer native machine code. One exception to this is languages like C# and Java which compile to immediate language/bytecode(MSIL for C# and Java bytecode for Java) which then gets deployed and compiled "just in time" at runtime, kind of like an interpreter does. However, there exist so-called decompilers for MSIL and Java Bytecode which can reconstruct original source code with relatively good accuracy and as such reverse-engineering such products is far more trivial than reverse-engineering products which are deployed in native machine code.
Besides the reasons the others have mentioned, there is one particularly important use case for choosing an ad hoc interpretation over any form of compilation or any hybrid approach.
In case if a programming language is used as a communication protocol, and when response latency is important, it makes more sense to avoid wasting time on compilation and any possible preprocessing.
This applies to agent languages, for example, or for the way how, say, Tcl/Tk is normally used.
Another possible reason for sticking with interpretation is when a language interpreter is used for bootstrapping itself or a more elaborate, higher level language, and its simplicity is more important than the bootstrap process performance.
For nearly any other possible use case, compilation (or a hybrid approach) is a better fit.
I can think of the following scenarios when you'd use an interpreted language:
I can think of the following scenarios when you want to compile your code:
In the end, the big trade-off is between productivity (how many lines of code do you have to write) and performance (how fast will your program execute).
Because interpreted languages when transformed to CPU information have more information, they can rely on reflection and dynamic typing which greatly increase the productivity. Another advantage of interpreted languages is that they are platform independent so long there is an interpreter for the platform.
Because the CPU mustn't transform the language code in machine code and run the code at the same time, as in the interpreted case, compiled languages yield more faster programs. Also, a system built in a compiled language is more secure since it can detect issues at compile time which basically means you see an error as you type it (with modern IDEs) instead of seeing it only when you actually run the program (of course, this does not fix logical errors).
Knowing this, interpreted languages are suitable for:
And compiled languages are suitable when:

Alicia Keys campaigns for HIV education
The Grammy Award-winning singer says that when she traveled to Africa and India she felt connected to women with the virus because "they looked like they could be my sister, or they could be my aunt, or they could be my cousin."
Keys is working with the Kaiser Family Foundation for "Empowered," a campaign launched last month to educate women about HIV, which causes AIDS, and provide grants to community-based projects that will do that.
According to Kaiser, one in four of the 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States are women. Women of color account for about two-thirds of new HIV infections among women.
The campaign includes outreach through public service ads, social media and community programs. It encourages women to learn about HIV and AIDS, talk with family and friends, protect themselves and loved ones, get tested, prevent spreading the disease and stay on treatment.
Keys is also leading the Empowered Community Grants program with Kaiser and AIDS United that will give up to $25,0000 grants to community-based projects that focus on women and HIV.
The campaign is scheduled to run for five years and publish a report annually on women's experiences with HIV/AIDS and examine cultural changes regarding education, misconceptions and the stigma associated with the disease.
Keys is co-founder of Keep a Child Alive, which provides AIDS treatment, food and other support to children and families affected by HIV and AIDS in Africa and India.

As in, from what the planet emits and re-radiates out into space (this is going to be important if we are to image any Earth-like planet)
Assuming an observer is 50 light years away, in the plane of the solar system and observing earth, what is the light flux of earth he would see?
A 0 mag star gives you 1000 photons/cm^2/second/Angstrom at the top of the atmosphere in the visible band (astronomers are nostalgic about units!)
So if you imagine an earth-like planet at an earth-like distance you can, from the ratio of the cross section area of the planet and the surface area of a sphere with a radius of the planets orbit, you could work out what proportion of the stars output hits the planet.
Then pick a reflectivity for the planet and you can work out how much like bounces off it.
Then you can use the normal magnitude distance relation to work out how much fainter it would be at a given distance
edit: some numbers
Just to simplify slightly, assume the star is at a distance of 10pc (32 lyr) then a sun like star has an apparent and absolute magnitude of 4.8 in the V band.
This means it is 2.51^4.8 = 1/85 as bright as our 0mag example, or around 12 photons/s/cm^2/angstrom. The v band is 88nm (or 880angstroms wide) so we have around 10,000 photon/s/cm^2 or 100Million photons/s/m^2 from the star.
Now remember only 5E-10 of these are reflected from the planet so we would have to detect 0.05 photons/m^/s and somehow avoid the billions more coming directly from the star.

Can we hope for application of Etale cohomology techniques in proving results concerning semialgebraic subsets of $\mathbb{Q}_p^n$?
Recall that semialgebraic subsets are obtained from $p$-adic algebraic varieties using boolean connectives and coordinate projection.
The results I am interested in are a sort of algebraic topology over the $p$-adics. But of course one cannot use the standard topology on the $p$-adics since it is totally disconnected. So I hope to show for instance that a ball with one smaller ball removed cannot be diffeomorphic to a ball, etc .

With additional fresh produce in bloom, be sure to avoid foodborne illness by following some simple steps in the kitchen. First, always use clean scissors to open bags of produce. Always wash fruit before peeling it. The peel can carry bacteria that can spread during the cutting, peeling or eating time frame. Always wash fresh fruits and vegetables with cool tap water right before eating. No soap scrubs are necessary. For fresh melons and cucumbers, scrub the produce firmly with a clean produce brush. With lettuce, remove and discard the outer leaves. After cleaning, place washed produce into clean storage containers, not the original purchase containers.

Benton County, Ark.
(Oct. 28, 2010) - Researchers and staff for the National Children's Study's Benton County location have joined with Mercy Health System of Northwest Arkansas to host the first of several informational meetings to educate the community about the study.
More than two dozen people attended the initial meeting. Information provided included a background of the study, Benton County's role in the process, and how participants are anticipated to be selected. The research panel for the meeting included principal investigator Charlotte Hobbs, MD, PhD; Peter Kohler, MD, vice chancellor for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Northwest Arkansas Region; Kathleen Barta, Ed, RN; program director Veronica Smith; program administrator Pearl McElfish; and Mercy Health System of Northwest Arkansas physician advocate A.R. Addington, MD.
Dr. Hobbs, who is also director of the Arkansas Center for Birth Defects Research and Prevention at the Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute and professor of Pediatrics in the UAMS College of Medicine, stated that "better information is needed" to understand how genetics and the environment interact to affect the health and well-being of children. Dr. Hobbs continued saying "children aren't just little adults," so the environmental effects have a greater impact on their vulnerable systems. Researchers hope to learn more about the interaction of biological, genetic and environmental factors through the information to be gathered in the study.
Increasing rates of childhood illnesses and disease in recent years prompted the study. Dr. Hobbs stated only 20-30 percent of birth defects have known causes. In addition, prevalence of asthma, autism spectrum disorders, obesity, injury, and neurodevelopmental disorders, have led researchers to feel additional study is essential to identify potential environmental causes of childhood diseases and illnesses. The economic cost of these types of illnesses per year is more than $758 billion.
"The National Children's Study will provide evidence-based information that can help shape future health policies and will provide a rich resource of information for future research," said Hobbs. "Most importantly, it will allow us to understand protective factors so that we can improve children's health, development and well-being."
The National Children's Study is the largest comprehensive study of children's health and development ever conducted in the United States. It is unique in size, scope and duration. The goal is to enroll 100,000 women, following the enrolled child from before birth through age 21; from 105 counties in 40 states throughout the country.
Participant eligibility is limited to women ages 18-49 who live in pre-determined areas of Benton County and who are either currently pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Registered nurses will conduct the data collection efforts, which will include in-home visits, telephone surveys, questionnaires and medical history. Participation in the study is voluntary and participants will receive modest reimbursement for their time.
The Benton County study center is now located at the J.B. Hunt Tower in Rogers, Ark. The project site is fully funded through a National Institutes of Health grant awarded to Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute. The National Children's Study is made possible through a consortium of federal agencies collaborating to achieve the scope anticipated for the study, including the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, United States Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Two additional community information meetings are currently scheduled for Wednesday, November 3 at 10:30 a.m. at Northwest Medical Center-Bentonville in classrooms A and B; and the Boys & Girls Club of Western Benton County-Siloam Springs Unit will host a meeting at 2 p.m. in the gymnasium.

Problem with adding or remove docked Items after resizing
Sencha Touch version tested:
- 1.1.0
- only default ext-all.css
- iPad
- Chrome
- A TabPanel is the applications Viewport containing at least one Panel
- This Panel has another Panel docked left which contains a List and a Toolbar docked top
- Furthermore this Panel has a Toolbar docked top which contains a Button to remove the docked list panel and add it again respectively
- If the size of the Viewport is changed (e.g. orientation change) and the list panel is removed and then added again it doesn't show correctly
- Before resizing removing and adding again works perfectly
- Without the TabPanel (using the contained Panel as the Viewport) everything works perfectly also after resizing
- Conclusion: TabPanel related bug.
Ext.regApplication({ name: 'app', launch: function () { Ext.regModel('ListItem', { fields: [ {name: 'text', type: 'string'} ] }); var listStore = new Ext.data.Store({ model: 'ListItem', data : [ { text: 'Item1' }, { text: 'Item2' }, { text: 'Item3' } ] }) app.views.viewport = new Ext.TabPanel({ fullscreen: true, tabBar: { layout: { type: 'hbox', align: 'center', pack: 'center' } }, tabBarDock: 'bottom', items: [ { id: 'tab1', xtype: 'panel', iconCls: 'favorites', title: 'Tab 1', dockedItems: [ // list panel { id: 'listPanel', xtype: 'panel', dock: 'left', width: 300, style: 'border-right: 1px solid;', dockedItems: [ { xtype: 'toolbar', dock: 'top', title: 'List' } ], items: [ { xtype: 'list', itemTpl: '<p>{text}</p>', store: listStore } ] }, // toolbar { xtype: 'toolbar', dock: 'top', title: 'Tab 1', items: [ { xtype: 'button', text: 'hide list', removed: false, handler: function () { if(!this.removed) { this.up('#tab1').removeDocked(Ext.getCmp('listPanel'), false); this.removed = true; this.setText('show list'); } else { this.up('#tab1').addDocked(Ext.getCmp('listPanel'), 0); this.removed = false; this.setText('hide list'); } } } ] } ] }, { xtype: 'panel', iconCls: 'action', title: 'Tab 2', dockedItems: [ { xtype: 'toolbar', dock: 'top', title: 'Tab 2' } ] } ] }); } });
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Create a TabPanel containing a Panel with a top-docked Toolbar and a left-docked Panel containing a List
- change the size of the Viewport (in Chrome e.g. show the JavaScript console, on iPad change the orientation)
- remove the List Panel from the Panel's docked items (panel.removeDocked(item, false))
- add it again (panel.addDocked(item, 0))
- After removing the docked list panel and adding it again (docked) it shows correctly.
- Only the docked toolbar of the list panel is shown.
- attached
- the panel's height is calculated 0 in the doComponentLayout method.
- not provided
13 Oct 2011 1:03 AM #2
I found a solution that seems to work. I added listeners for the resize and orientationchange events to the TabPanel where I call doComponentLayout for all Tabs.
listeners: {resize: function (cmp) {cmp.items.each(function (item) {item.doComponentLayout();});},orientationchange: function (cmp) {cmp.items.each(function (item) {item.doComponentLayout();});}}

I can confirm that there is a bug with adding/removing toolbars, I had it in my app, too. Fortunately (at least for me) I could solve it by wrapping the whole thing in another way:
Before, my app consist of a TabPanel with a tabBar docked to the bottom. Some of the cards were lists and some of the lists were adding/removing toolbars when the cardswitch was done. If you do a resize and the switch to one of the lists with toolbars, the list disappeared and it seemed that the bottom tabBar "jumped" to the top.
I solved it by wrapping the lists in panels and called the addDocked/removeDocked methods on the panel not on the TabPanel.
But I think this is a Sencha Touch bug and I hope this will be fixed.

Masturbating without the use of visual aids such as porn videos or mags. Just by using the good old imagination.
O fuck, the powers out. Gonna have to stale fish it.

It is when a male masturbates standing up with the jerking arm passed under his corresponding leg, thus mimicking a skateboarder performing a stalefish on his board. This is truly an act worthy of masturbatory merit and is reserved for the seasoned jackers only.
Curious to try new wack-tactics that he read about online, Alvin's stalefish session ended quite abruptly when he lost his balance and broke his wrist. The emergency room doctors are still scratching their heads in disbelief.

To be stalefished is to be completely confused by another's actions. When caught in the action of being stalefished one's eyebrows become unbalanced followed by the dropping of the jaw. Being stalefished is usually caused by witnessing a very stupid and inexplicable action.

5 Improved Versions of Classic Games That Fans Made for Free
Everyone knows that making a great video game requires teams of experts, years of work, and millions of dollars. Which is why it stings so badly when two dudes in Minnesota come along and vastly improve the work of the professionals with nothing more than a summer indoors and a few crates of Red Bull. That's for the developers to cry over, though -- for us, these fan-improved versions of classic games are almost all entirely free, available to you right now, and the most fun you'll have this side of go-kart jousting.
#5. Pokemon Fusion Generation
For those of you blissfully out of the loop with modern memes: First, tell us how you live your life. We get the feeling we're doing it all wrong. Second, let us introduce you to Pokemon Fusion Generation, a random Pokemon generator that has resulted in more twisted creatures that should not be than Gossip Girl. It was only a matter of time before someone got the notion to make an actual game featuring these abominations (the ... the Pokemon, not the Gossip Girls).
The story follows Bill, everyone's favorite mad scientist from the original game, who decides to fuse random Pokemon together to make untold genetic horrors, because apparently "responsible government regulation" is the most elusive Pokemon of all. Naturally, the various gym leaders, sick and tired of losing to every OCD 10-year-old who made it past the fortified hedge blocking the entrance to their town, leaped at the chance to mutate and torture their pets for fun and profit.
A normal Pokemon game features adorable hybrids, or caricatures of more or less normal animals, like these:
It's a shame we'll never get to enjoy these guys in a taco sampler pack.
Pokemon Fusion Generation features twisted hellspawn that spit in the face of the PokeGod, such as these:
These would make ... less appetizing tacos.
The best part of a Pokemon game is the vast variety of creatures to plan and strategize with. Thanks to Pokemon Fusion Generation, that number is upped dramatically -- and as an added bonus, you can now field such impressive creatures as a bull-whale, an insane pile of candy, or a three-headed bird-Pikachu that wishes, above all else, to simply be allowed to die.
Follow this link to download the game for free.
#4. Organ Trail
Ahh, The Oregon Trail. It's what we did in school instead of paying attention to math, science, history, or really any learning at all. It may have single-handedly destroyed our rounded education, but hey, we sure do know a disproportionate amount about the struggles of pioneers heading to Oregon. That's a valuable life skill, right?
Well, at least the unemployment will pass a little easier with Organ Trail -- the zombified remake.
You've got high-powered rifles instead of muskets and station wagons instead of the covered variety, but Organ Trail still has every basic frustration that you fondly remember from its predecessor.
Vaccinations, people.
You can still die from archaic illnesses, shitty luck, and poor supply management -- all the basic building blocks of fun! -- but with the added complication of your dim-witted friends occasionally wandering off and getting themselves infected by zombies. You get to decide whether you use them as long as possible or risk having them turn on you in the night. If you're not game for the latter, you have the classic zombie dilemma to face:
To shotgun, or not to shotgun?
Of course, you can still name all of your characters after your friends, but now you don't have to wait for the annoying ones to die of dysentery -- if Chad snags your last Handi-Snack at lunch, you can give him a shotgun breath mint in fourth period.
You can play the free Flash version here, or buy the "director's cut" on Steam.
#3. DoomRL
DoomRL is Doom, the shooter that started it all, as a roguelike.
A roguelike, for those of you who don't speak PC-gaming nerd, is a sort of randomly generated game where the object isn't to "win" necessarily, but just to not lose for as long as possible. Every floor in DoomRL is randomly generated, every item and enemy is randomly spawned, and you can play the game essentially forever, and it will never be the same thing twice. That alone would be improvement enough -- infinite game! -- but that's only the start of the changes in DoomRL. The game also features an RPG-style level-up system. You don't automatically get stronger, but instead receive a single point to spend however you choose, allowing you to customize your character. Although we don't recommend putting many points into "reasonable negotiation" -- most blood-soaked demon priests are immune.
Putting a few dozen points into "midair castration" is probably a good move, though.
The weapons are wildly different, too. Duel-wielding pistols makes for a completely different game experience from specializing in shotguns ... which are both objectively inferior to duel-wielding chainsaws (a class build we shall refer to as "Lumberjack the Ripper").
Furthermore, you modify your gear, improving a shotgun by, say, tacking on a couple of bulk packs so it can hold more ammo, attaching agility packs to a pistol to boost its accuracy, or just taping a chainsaw to another chainsaw, because seriously, it's like cowbell rules: You can never have too much chainsaw.
Perhaps the best part of DoomRL isn't even the game itself, but the payment model: You can straight up donate money if you want to see more stuff like this, or you can go into the forum and offer a "bounty." That's where you propose some feature you want to see in the game and only fork over the cash if the author actually adds what you requested.
Dang, somebody with a bit of extra cash should hurry up and request chainsaw-chucks. We're pretty sure they're not in the game ... yet.

This is definitely not a mathematical question, but a relevant one I believe. There are incomplete versions of some books floating around the web and I want to put in the missing pages. There is a good book scanner at our university, albeit I have not really understood most of its functions yet. At the moment I am able to scan color JPGs. So I've got a batch of color JPGs, what next should I do? I want a djvu file.
I have tried cpaldjvu from djvulibre, but it seems to hang up on one single jpg. (Size 2MB.) Some people recommend passing through PDF, but this looks like a lot of overhead work to me. Is there a good tutorial for non-experts? (For Windows or Ubuntu - but bear with an Ubuntu noob who barely knows how to install packages. I am able, however, to script a few lines in bash.)
Besides, is pre-processing of the JPGs in a graphics editor helpful? Is it of use to cut out the margins, or are they useful for the DJVU encoder to approximate the background color?
PS. I think I know how to split DJVU files into pieces and reassemble them. I am only interested in JPG->DJVU here.

I am trying to create an alias and I have added these lines in ~/.bash_aliases
alias server-python='open http://localhost:8000 && python -m SimpleHTTPServer'
alias ssh-saad='ssh saad@<my-server>' <my-server> is replaced by the ip add of my server. So in my ~/.bashrc file these lines are uncommented
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
and in my ~/.profile
# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
so I believe whenever I start the terminal my aliases should work but unless I run this command source ~/.bash_aliases its not working. Also for the 1st server-python alias I am getting an error
"Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console "
I have looked into these solutions here
How to create a permanent "alias"?
Ubuntu alias not applied in bashrc
but still cannot make it work. I would really appreciate if someone could point me out what I am doing wrong. I know the problem is very trivial, but I must be just missing something. Thanks in advance.
ok now I know why I am getting this error
"Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console "
I should have used alias server-python='sensible-browser http://localhost:8000 && python -m SimpleHTTPServer'
I should have used sensible-browser instead of open.

My UK Nexus S (Android 2.3.2) has real problems sustaining a reliable data connection on 3G even when I have a full signal in London. Connections time out or pages/tweets/whatever load exceptionally slowly and sometimes the green up and down data arrows go grey. The phone works without any problem on WiFi.
I've looked at the radio log using Android System Info and I'm seeing a lot of lines saying:
unsupported unsolicited response code 11016
I've uploaded a log here:
which shows a lot of these errors. I wondered if this could be to blame. I've been having these errors for several days in several parts of London. Happy to provide more information if I can.
Many thanks for any thoughts, Tom

Rooster Brigade
From Noisebridge
Revision as of 03:04, 14 February 2012 by 18.104.22.168 (Talk)
sleeping at Noisebridge. This is a practice which is unacceptable to varying degrees depending on whom you ask. Although there is no clear consensus on how to deal with this, it is clear that some of the sleeping behavior is not excellent. But in the middle of the night, social pressure to be excellent wanes, and this is largely the only tool Noisebridge has for enforcing the One Rule. The Rooster Brigade is an observational effort to understand the nocturnal underbelly of the Noisebridge community and hopefully disseminate excellence beyond the midnight hour.
The Rooster Brigade maintains no official policy on how to wake or interact with people who are sleeping at Noisebridge. The only rule at Noisebridge is Be Excellent.

Rooster Log
- October 6 - Dec 15
- Laurent. Found daily in classroom and in laser engraver DJ booth. Sleeps in either one or two office chairs with legs propped on second chair.
- 02/03/12
- 9 people appear to be crashing at Noisebridge. Eric took some notes with basic descriptions and a few first names.
- 02/04/12
- 02/05/12
- A guy named John who sometimes sleeps at Noisebridge (Ben has photographed him) was removed by Ben, Rayc and another guy after becoming violent and threatening people in the space. He was picked up outside by the police.
- Eric asked one person in the morning not to sleep at Noisebridge. Update: talked more with her that evening. She said that she once objected to someone waking a sleeper because she had just given the sleeper in question a massage on the couch and they had dozed off. It was 4 or 5 in the morning at the time. I suggested that 4am bodywork which leads to sleeping should be done at someone's house, because sleeping in the space is a really touchy issue right now.
- 02/06/12
- Eric kicked out another one of "Amber's minions" who was crashed out in a chair less than an hour after arriving in the space.
- 02/07/12
- User:Malaclyps popped by at 7AM. A bunch of people were sitting around really trying hard not to fall asleep, but not able to do much else. I smiled kind of nervously, and went home feeling sad.
- Apparently an anonymous rooster, present in the space that morning, was keeping the would-be-sleepers in line. I will see if I can learn any more about this anonymous contingent of the late night crew that is clearly attempting to enforce excellence. -User:Hurtstotouchfire

- 02/11/12
- User:Hurtstotouchfire 05:33, 12 February 2012 (UTC): This evening I met Amber and her friend Nick and talked with her about sleeping in the space. She says that she's new to the community and that there have been false rumors spread about her. I got her email address and will chat with her a bit more later either electronically or in the space. Update: talked to Amber a little more that evening. She said that she objected to someone waking a sleeper once because she had just given the sleeper in question a massage and he dozed off. It was 4 or 5am at the time. I suggested that 4am massages might be more appropriate for someone's house since they tend to lead to sleeping, and sleeping is a really touchy issue in the space right now. Amber is not on the mailing list and didn't know about the wiki or the tuesday meeting. I encouraged her to get involved if she wants to keep hanging around. She is keeping a personal supply of food in the kitchen, including a flat of eggs. I haven't looked all the way though it and I didn't ask her about it (maybe I should have). She told me that she was available for helping people with astrology and that she bakes pies in the middle of the night but didn't seem to be interested in any of Noisebridge's resources other than the kitchen, couches and wifi. She identifies as an occupier. She seems like probably a reasonably nice person but not especially interested in understanding the established community agreements about excellence. She seems to think all of her behavior is excellent. She seemed pretty annoyed at me by the end of our discussion. Rayc also spent much of the discussion pretending to be her lawyer ("My client..." jokes) even though I asked him to stop and pointed out that I'm not a cop and I'm not their mom, I'm just trying to understand what's going on at noisebridge.
- User:Hurtstotouchfire: Had a more extensive conversation later with Nick who seemed much more proactively respectful of the space and not entitled. He has also not gotten involved in any of noisebridge's infrastructure. I encouraged him to do so. He says he's never slept at Noisebridge and tells others not to.

WACO (January 16, 2013)--An employee of the City of Waco's Parks and Recreation Department was free on bond Wednesday after he was arrested and charged with two counts of theft over $1,500.
Nelson Scott Washington, 59, posted the $7,000 bond and was released Tuesday morning, according to McLennan County Jail records.
Washington turned himself in at the county jail Monday afternoon after a Waco police detective called him to tell him two warrants for his arrest had been issued in connection the disappearance of funds from the parks department, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
Swanton said police began an investigation into the missing funds after an internal auditor discovered discrepancies in at least two deposits of funds to the department's account.
Swanton said the auditor discovered two instances, one involving almost $2,100 and the other $2,800, in which funds that should have been deposited were evidently converted to cash and could not be accounted for.
Swanton said one of the incidents happened in October and the other in December of last year.
Washington, who police say was the employee responsible for depositing department funds, has been with the city for more than 15 years, City of Waco records show.
City officials would not discuss Washington's status citing a policy not to disclose personnel matters.

If a character throws a grenade in Shadowrun 4th Ed., what rules are there for another character trying to pick it up and throw it back? Is this covered somewhere in the book? I know it's in SR3, but I couldn't find it in 4th Ed. A page reference would be very handy. Thanks!

The Arsenal supplement actually has the rule listed on page 163.
Characters with an action available before the grenade explodes may make an Agility + Reaction (3) test to pick up the grenade and throw it back.
If they succeed: Free Agility + Throwing Weapons ranged Attack Test to get rid of the hot potato.
If they fail: The character does not manage to pick up the grenade, and will be at a Range of 0 meters when the grenade detonates.
I did not find a specific entry on returning a thrown grenade in SR4, (or 3rd or 1st) upon review. Everything needed is accounted for in the combat rules, however. An optional rule for this is presented in the SR4 release 'Arsenal' on page 163.
Grenade use is dealt with on p155 of the core book, presenting the scatter table, and noting the time frames for detonation with and without an airburst link, with page references.
From these you can determine how successful an attempt to get to, pick up, and throw a live grenade might be on a case by case basis:
If these steps are too open to interpretation or debate, or faster resolution is desired, the rule in Arsenal (here) will model its stages with one roll which if successful will lead to a thrown weapons roll.

I recently got a L'Equip food dehydrator and have had some good success playing around with it. But I'm interested to know if I can dehydrate different food stuffs at the same time. For instance, could I throw jerky on one tray, onions on another, and strawberries on a third (assuming they all wanted the same time / temp) or would my strawberries end up tasting a bit like oniony beef? What kind of things would cause this contamination?
They would totally end up tasting like oniony beef! In fact your whole kitchen does- that's part of the magic of making jerky.
I can't think of a way to prevent this as the whole idea of dehydrating is to pull water out of the food and blow it away into the air.
If the flavors are compatible (or milder, like fruit) I have done different things together at once. If they don't take the same amount of time, I'll just take the done items off earlier when I check it.
Aside from flavour issues, different types of food need to be dehydrated at different temperatures and for different amounts of time. The booklet that came with my dehydrator listed suggested times/temps for various foods. You could probably mix similar items (e.g. different berries), but I definitely wouldn't mix anything like you suggest.

Warren G. Magnuson Park
Baseball, soccer or ultimate Frisbee anyone? Warren G. Magnuson Park offers nine fields perfect for these league sports and others . . . if you don't mind playing in the middle of some of the most picturesque surroundings in the city, that is!
Two sets of sports fields are found within the park-the Sports Meadow (Fields 1-4) and the Mickey Merriam Athletic Field Complex (Fields 5-9). Field Number 8 is named after Frank Papasedero.
To get to the Sand Point Fields, enter the park at N.E. 74th Street from Sand Point Way N.E. Drive, drive straight until you see a large planted median. Turn right and you'll find a 300-space parking lot. The Sports Meadow is directly east (toward Lake Washington) while the Merriam Field Complex is directly south. Park anywhere as close to your field as you can in the large lots.
While you're on the field, younger children will enjoy the nearby Junior League of Seattle Playground and undersized outdoor basketball courts. Portable toilets and waste containers are available near all the Sports Fields
To check youth and adult league play and practice schedules or to reserve a field for daytime use, call the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation at 206-684-4082 or 206-684-4077. Field reservations include use of facilities for soccer, ultimate Frisbee, softball and baseball.
Who is Mickey Merriam?
Gathering information from tributes and obituaries, the picture of Michael "Mickey" Merriam is one of a man who had a "can do" attitude. Before his untimely death in 2003 at the age of 46, Merriam had a hand in improving every Seattle athletic field through his advocacy for ballfields and kids sports.
In the four years prior to his death Merriam worked as Senior Athletic Field Coordinator for Seattle Parks and Recreation. In the 18 years before becoming a Coordinator he worked for Seattle Parks as a grounds maintenance worker. Outside of work, he pitched on elite adult slow-pitch softball teams and in 1999 managed one to a national championship.
As the department's senior athletic field coordinator, Merriam juggled the demands of athletes, coaches and parents in scheduling the city's 185 fields. In addition he rounded up volunteers and corporate donors to help maintain them. A shining moment was when he helped the Department win a $1 million grant from Major League Baseball and the Seattle Mariners to upgrade a baseball field at Lower Woodland Park. Today the Mariners All-Star Field remains as a testament to Mickey's work, including a jersey on the backstop with his name.
Who is Frank Papasedero?
Papasedero was the first baseball and basketball coach at Bishop Blanchet High School. He spent more than three decades with summer leagues and was among the Washington state's most successful baseball coaches with an overall record of 1,174-335, winning at least 41 league championships and 50 tournaments. Papasedero who died in 2005 at age 78, also coached at Eastside Catholic High and Seattle University and won the 1972 Senior Babe Ruth World Series.
In 2004-05, the sports meadow was reconstructed. This project included raising the height of the meadow almost eight feet to allow better drainage. After allowing time for the turf to grow and get established, the meadow opened for use in fall 2006. The west side of the sports meadow includes public art to commemorate a survey calibration line and the edge of the main runway of former Naval Air Station Seattle.

To the editor:
Each year, billions – yes, billions – of farm animals live in miserable conditions that we wouldn't wish upon our worst enemy. Many are confined so intensively they can't even turn around in a circle or flap their wings for years on end.
These are animals that, just like our dogs and cats, feel pain, pleasure, and various emotions. Most of us would never want to see our pets in pain, yet we unwittingly support the pain and suffering of billions of animals each year by eating high amounts of meat, eggs, and milk products.
One way we can help to reduce the suffering of animals in factory farms is by simply eating less of them. Cutting out meat one day of the week is simple enough, and it does a lot of good for animals.
Consider making "Meatless Monday" one of your New Year's resolutions, and make 2013 the year you started to eat less meat.

What is highest water pressure at which electrolysis can be performed to derive hydrogen and oxygen? Does the dielectric constant of water, which which lowers as pressure increases, have an effect on this?
A high-pressure environment tends to favor liquids over gases, insofar as liquids have higher density. So the higher pressure it is, the higher voltage you need to apply to make the reaction H2O --> H2+O2 occur.
But, with a high enough voltage, it should always be possible. ANY electrolytic reaction will eventually occur if you crank up the voltage high enough. Electrolysis only becomes impossible (in practice) (impossible at any voltage), if competing reactions are favored. I'm not sure what the competing reactions would be for electrolyzing pure water in a high-pressure environment. For example, presumably, H2O --> H2 + O3 (ozone gas) would be favored over H2O --> H2 + O2 at high enough pressure.
It's impossible to be quantitative here, because the catalyst and reaction mechanism also make a huge difference to favor one reaction over another. It's not enough to JUST calculate free energies.

Sometimes at a crossing, when one wants to turn right for example, the "new" street has a different surface and there is a small step (2-4 cm) to get there.
These kind of steps are already unconfortable to apprehend when getting the from the front but when one's turning right, even getting a 45 degrees angle is not always easy.
How should one proceed? How big a step can a wheel handle? should I stand up? hop somehow?
And when one is facing the obstacle, how to proceed? angle is not a problem, but should one ride slowly towards it? or as fast as possible?
What is the safest way?

Dwarf Oro Blanco Grapefruit Tree
- Summary
A cross between the grapefruit and its low-acid cousin, the pomelo, Oro Blancos are sweet and juicy, with none of the bitterness of an ordinary grapefruit. The thick, golden rind peels easily to reveal white fruit ideal for juicing, adding to salads or just eating out of hand. Our citrus tree arrives in a plastic pot, ready for transplanting into the ground, a planter or a decorative container (wooden planter shown not included). This grapefruit variety produces fragrant flowers in spring and fruit throughout the winter.
- Indoors in all zones; outdoors in zones with light frost conditions.
- 3-year old tree arrives fully rooted in a black plastic pot and is suitable for container or ground planting.
- Arrives 18"–24" high.
- Grows 4'–8' high, 3'–4' wide in a pot; 10'–12' high, 8' – 10' wide in the ground.
- Requires full sun.
- Produces white flowers with a sweet, citrusy fragrance in spring and large, light gold fruit in winter.
- Grown in USA.
- Agricultural regulations prohibit shipment to FL, TX, AZ.
- Dimensions & More Info
Additional Information
- Tree is approx. 3 years old at time of shipment.
- Tree arrives fully rooted in a black plastic pot.
- Please water tree immediately upon arrival.
Whether planting in a container or in the ground, plant the tree so the root collar (crown roots) shows above the soil line. The soil line in the pot as you recieved it should remain the soil line after planting. Make sure that soil or mulch is not pushed up against the trunk of the tree.
Citrus grows best between 55°F and 85°F. Indoor temperatures averaging 65°F are conducive to growth if light is adequate. Protect from freezing temperatures.
Light Exposure
Provide 8 or more hours of direct sunlight per day. If less than 6 hours of natural full sun is provided, supplement with grow lights. An unobstructed window facing south or southwest is ideal.
Citrus trees require soil that is moist but never soggy. Watering frequency will vary with soil porosity, tree size, and environmental factors. Do not water if the top of the soil is dry without checking the soil at root level. A simple moisture meter, available at garden supply stores, will read moisture at the root level. This inexpensive tool will allow you to never have to guess about whether or not a plant needs water.
Citrus trees feed heavily on nitrogen. Your fertilizer should have more nitrogen (N) than phosphorous (P) or potassium (K). Use at least a 2-1-1 ratio. Miracid Soil Acidifier is a water-soluble product that works well and is a 3-1-1 ratio. In some regions, you may be able to find specialized citrus/avocado fertilizers. In general, buy a good slow-release formula that contains trace minerals like iron, zinc and manganese and apply according to package directions.

Is Young's inequality true for an arbitrary measure on $\mathbb R^d$? If so, where can I find a proof of it? In particular, where can I find the proof of the discrete version (i.e the version for $\ell^p$ spaces) of this inequality?
Here is the statement of the inequality (from Wikipedia):
Suppose $f$ is in $L^p(\mathbb R^d)$ and $g$ is in $L^q(\mathbb R^d)$ and $$ \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{r} + 1$$
with $1\leq p, q, r\leq \infty$
then $$ || f * g || _r \leq ||f||_p ||g||_q.$$

we don't believe in adverbs where i'm from
no bag for the wine
they know the difference between adjectives and "ly" adverbs now
a happy twist on such a barren word
separate like my speech and theirs
why they deprived me of dialect
to Sydney because you were light as a feather and nothing in the world could stop you.
But that kind of energy can only last a few fleeting moments.
Remember how you lay on your back and let the tiny blades tickle the insides of your knees, let the ants crawl over your toes, let the sunshine hit your forehead.
Remember how you rose from the grass and ran again and again, repeating the process over and over, each time the sprints becoming shorter and shorter until eventually the sun was setting. The world was turning dark, the grass wet and cold.
but you'd never really looked at the stars either.
Remember how the fast burning balls of light patterned the sky, the way some of them sparkled and some of them were blue. You were young and didn't yet understand the concepts of outer-space of galaxies or supernovas and you really just thought it was all kind of pretty.
Remember how you closed your eyes and thought about the stars and how in the morning they would be gone. Replaced once again by the bright burning sun.

Welcome to my FM11 Journeyman Career Thread!
Here's my game setup, starting in January 2011. 20 leagues in 10 nations. Large database on 11.3. 50000 players.
Leagues Loaded
England - The Home of Football. I will look to build my career up in the lower leagues early on.
Spain - A country also known for its football heritage, I've enjoyed managing here in previous games.
Italy - Even though it can be quite low scoring at time, these leagues have a history of big rivalries which I would like to experience.
France - As a rule I don't particularly like the French, but I do like their cheese and pastries so would consider going here at some point.
Germany - I will do almost anything for a Currywurst, so would definitely manage here!
Brazil - Exciting football, even though the league structure is bonkers, would be exciting to manage here at some point.
Argentina - Never managed here before, but always thought it could be a challenge.
The Wildcards
Mexico, South Korea and Russia - Having Mexico and South Korea loaded will give me opportunities to manage in other continental competitions that I don't normally play in. Russia is chosen as an alternative European league, and with it running Mar-Nov, it provides a different perspective to European football.
Manager Ambitions
Here's my starting manager profile, unemployed with Sunday League experience.
- As a Liverpool supporter, I would want to take charge and restore them to their former glory as the biggest team in England. If I get to destroy Man Utd in the process, even better!
- My 2 local teams are Southampton and Portsmouth, so I would like an opportunity to manage at least one of these clubs at some point.
- With leagues on 4 continents loaded, I would like to win the Champions League (or equivalent) on all the different continents if the opportunities arrise.
I will be updating 4/5 times a season including a pre-season and end-of-season update, with a couple of updates in the middle.
And so it begins...
