- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 14-inch circle. (For a thick crust, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.) Coat a 14-inch (or 12-inch) pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place the dough on the pan, forming a slight rim around the edges. Set the crust aside for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Spread the sauce over the crust to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, and arrange the roasted pepper strips in concentric circles over the sauce and cheese. Top first with the mozzarella, and then with the onions and, if desired, the olives. Sprinkle with the basil and oregano.
- Bake at 425°F for about 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned. Slice and serve immediately.

STEUBENVILLE - Officials representing the three city unions said Friday plans for a townhall meeting to discuss the need for health care concessions, "may be illegal and an attempt to put union members in a bad picture."
James Marquis, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 1, and Rob Cook, the patrolman representative on the F.O.P. Ohio Labor Council, said a townhall meeting being arranged by city officials, "is nothing but a tactic to shame the unions into taking concessions."
"I have been in contact with the Ohio Labor Council attorney regarding plans for this townhall meeting," said Marquis.
"We understand the financial position of the city and the union. We know Gov. (John) Kasich has severely cut local government funding. And, we have gone to the bargaining table in good faith every time. We believe there are other people in the city who work part-time who could agree to concessions," continued Marquis.
"Representatives from Health America will offer what a city similar in size to Steubenville and with union workers is doing with their health care program. Health America will present the benchmarks during the town hall meeting. You have seen the results from our joint health care committee meetings," City Manager Cathy Davison told the council members during a Finance Committee meeting Tuesday night.
"We will invite the public to attend the meeting to learn what we are asking from our unions as far as changes to our health care program. We hope city residents will then put pressure on the city unions to consider our proposed changes," Davison said.
"The joint health care committee has been working for months and we have gotten no concessions. The health care provider was willing to go to the union meetings to explain the situation, but we got no response," said Davison.
Marquis said contract negotiations between the police union and the city will start in May, "but the hard battle has started now with the announcement of a townhall meeting. One council member brought up the idea of a wage freeze, but we have been under a wage freeze since June 2009."
"We are now a bare-bones police department, but crime in the city continues to be on the rise. Ask the elderly couple who had a bullet go through their house last summer when someone was shooting an assault rifle. Drug use in the city is at an all time high. Heroin is at epidemic proportions. The police are working diligently, but our guys are now running into people with assault rifles. This job is not getting any easier," remarked Marquis.
"Now we will have to attend a townhall meeting to listen to propaganda," Marquis added.
"I have been the patrolman representative on the Ohio Labor Council since January and during that time I have attended two joint health care meetings. We listened to the city and tried to work out a solution. Now they want to use a townhall meeting to paint us in a bad picture," stated Cook.
"We have attended council meetings where city employees make suggestions on how to save money. And, except for 5th Ward Councilman Willie Paul, the rest of the council just stares at us. I commend Willie Paul for raising the perks of cell phones and gasoline mileage for council members. I wish more council members would consider other ways to save money other than demanding employee concessions," Marquis said.
"I urge everyone who supports the police, the firefighters and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union members to attend the townhall meeting. We will welcome all residents of the city to hear the facts," declared Marquis.
According to Brian Young, president AFSCME 2015, "The discussions regarding health care coverage and the city's request for concessions should stay between the three unions and management."
"We should also be concerned about part-time council members who are receiving the same health coverage that full-time city employees receive. I believe our city leaders should be more concerned about bringing more money into the city and not just looking at employee concessions," Young said.
"We need to look at why the county is managed by three county commissioners and we need seven council members to run the city. I would also like to compare the city manager's wages and benefits with other local communities who have a city manager," urged Young.
Chris Blackburn, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 228, said the townhall meeting, "could very well result in an unfair labor practice charge against the city."
"I feel the decision to take discussions between the city officials and the unions into a public forum may be a violation of the Ohio Revised Code Unfair Labor Practices law. I am not saying the public shouldn't know what is going on in our city, but the city manager is trying to turn the public against the city's union employees. She is trying to portray us as an evil union. There are laws in place to stop things like this from happening."
"Yes, I walked out of the last joint health care committee meeting because I had filed nine grievances because the city manager was violating our minimum manning agreement. I told the city manager that until she started honoring our contract, I couldn't sit there and listen to demands for health care concessions. Our grievances were settled the very next day. We are willing to talk about our health care. But the city can't continue to violate our contract and put our residents and our firefighters in danger," said Blackburn.
"This is a negotiating process. But if the city manager and city council want a townhall meeting, then I hope it is a true townhall meeting with questions and answers and not a lecture session. We have no secrets and we are willing to participate. But we won't submit to strong arm tactics," Blackburn stated.
"I have been in contact with our union attorney and with the State Employee Relations Board. We are not in contract negotiations. We are for the public and I am the public as well as a civil servant who has sworn to protect the public. We are willing to help and be heard, but we also want our contract honored," according to Blackburn.
Third Ward Councilman Greg Metcalf called for the city administration, "to prepare a game plan for the future as soon as possible."
"We want to save manpower so we need to look at health care. We are looking at a $262,034 deficit this year but in 2014 we are looking at a $2 million deficit and a $4 million deficit in 2015. We really need to look at our future. We need a plan we can look at now," said Metcalf.
"I am tired of this council being the whipping boy. Ninety percent of our city budget goes to salaries and benefits. That's 20 percent over the national average. Only 35 percent of our city residents are paying taxes. This city has become a retirement community subsidized by the government. If everyone gave back what this council has given back we could erase our debt," said 1st Ward Councilman Gerald DiLoreto during the council Finance Committee meeting.
"In 2010, we were paying $8,500 a year for an employee's health care coverage. In 2012, that cost was $11,000 for each employee. Everything we do affects the cash flow. We will have to tackle the health care issue," noted 6th Ward Councilman David Lalich.
"We want to save manpower so we need to look at health care. We are looking at a $262,034 deficit this year but in 2014 we are looking at a $2 million deficit and a $4 million deficit in 2015. We really need to look at our future. We need a plan we can look at now," said Metcalf.

In this twist on the "new baby in the house" story, Won Ton the black cat is introduced to a golden puppy that does not belong in his house. The author's note at the beginning of the book informs the reader that the story is told using senryu, which is a form of Japanese poetry similar to haiku. Both senryu and haiku have three lines which contain a total of seventeen syllables. They capture a snapshot in time. Haiku focuses on nature, and senryu focuses on human nature—in this book the nature of Won Ton and Chopstick.

if i doing experiment on spring-mass system in vaccum,if i pull the to some extent (within elastic limit of spring) & let it go,will the system oscillate indefinitely? (neglect contact frictions at support of wall,spring-mass connections),if not tell the reason? hint :there is no posiibility to loss of sound because there is no medium(vaccum) is there any friction between atoms/molecules of spring during continuous extension & contraction of spring, if it so tell the answer in atomic perspective..please help me
No it won't vibrate indefinitely because energy is dissipated in the flexing of the metal spring.
Ideally when you bend the spring the atoms in the metal would move apart slightly and then return to their original position when you released the spring so no energy would be lost. In practice metals contains various defects like grain boundaries, and when you bend a metal you get motion of atoms at these defects. This motion dissipates energy as heat.
The more perfect the metal crystal structure the lower will be the energy dissipation, so a spring made from a single crystal of metal would dissipate less energy than a normal metal spring. However even a perfect crystal would dissipate some energy and therefore stop vibrating eventually.
This paper from Phys Rev B examines the mechanisms of intrinsic energy loss.

Is it possible to move the entire wp-content folder outside of the Web root? I need to prevent anyone to view any asset file (images, pdfs, movies etc) with a direct url to the file... Any ideas? Or could I do this safely with htaccess?
See Ben Word - How to Hide WordPress
I would highly recommend that you NOT move wp-content outside of the docroot. WordPress utilizes wp-content for more than uploads. This would have a huge impact on the accessibility of themes and plugins.
WordPress uploader will not play well with this scenario, and you're only allowed to add an alternate relative relative path to the WordPress URI as well (Settings->Media), which means WordPress is constricted to uploading to the docroot. This makes sense because 99.99999999% of sites would never need this functionality.
This would be a bear of a project to tackle within WordPress from scratch. I would recommend that you use Amazon S3 and install a plugin like CDN Vault. They claim to protect locally hosted files and cloud hosted files on S3. I haven't verified either, but it looks like a good start.
Hope this helps you out!

I have a song I want to delete. I went to
"C:/Program Files/Frets on Fire/data/songs/song-to-delete" and deleted the folder song-to-delete. When I open the game, it's still there. It won't play, just chokes on an error because I deleted the files for it. How can I get rid of the cassette? Is there any way to completely delete a song from Frets on Fire?
I have a song I want to delete. I went to
You can find the solution here.
Quoting from the site:
Edit: Did you check the folder under %appdata%? It seems the program is still looking at another place. The simplest solution is just search your hard drive for that song name. You will probably get a folder somewhere in your application data folder also. Try deleting it from there and restarting the program.

To Prove : $n! > (n/e)^n$
The question seems easy but it ain't; anyone up for it ?
To Prove : $n! > (n/e)^n$
The question seems easy but it ain't; anyone up for it ?
Here's a hint. You assume that $n!>\left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^n$. Now you should show it for n+1, i.e., you should show that $(n+1)! > \left(\frac{n+1}{e}\right)^{n+1}$.
You can write
\begin{equation} (n+1)! > (n+1) \left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^n = (n+1)\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)^n \left(\frac{(n+1)^n}{e^n}\right) \end{equation}
Can you solve it from here?
By considering the exponential power series we observe that for $x>0$, $$ e^x > \frac{x^n}{n!} $$ Now setting $x=n$ we obtain $$e^n > \frac{n^n}{n!} $$ which rearranges to precisely what is desired. I should note that I had first learned this incredibly short and simple proof of this fact from Qiaochu Yuan's posts on this website, and he in turn attributed it to this article written by Terence Tao.
This is the "easy" part of Stirling's formula -- the crude order of magnitude estimate showing how huge $n!$ is, without the $\sqrt{2 \pi n}$ correction that is harder to derive.
Taking logarithms, you are asking for $\log(n!) > n (\log n - 1)$. The latter is the indefinite integral of $\log(n)$. Drawing a picture, this follows from $\log(n)$ being an increasing function. The inequality compares the area under the graph of the function to the area of rectangles underneath the graph. A stronger inequality can be obtained using trapezoids and the convexity of $\log(x)$. I think you can get the $\sqrt{n}$ factor this way but not the exact constant $\sqrt{2 \pi}$.
In an attempt to prove it by induction, you'll reach a stage where you need to prove $$\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)^n < e.$$
Consider the $i^\text{th}$ term in the binomial expansion of $(1+1/n)^n$: $$\frac{n!}{(n-i)! i!} \cdot \frac{1}{n^i} < \frac{1}{i!}.$$ This is easily provable as the $i^\text{th}$ term is $$\frac{n(n-1) \cdots (n-i +1)}{n \cdot n \cdots n} \cdot \frac{1}{i!} < \frac{1}{i!}.$$
So, $$\left(1 + \frac{1}{n}\right)^n < e.$$

It is correct.
Although using the phrasal thinking of may be somewhat less formal than an infinitive planning to, it is not ungrammatical to do so.
A very basic mapping of the sentence is as follows:
Others may not consider thinking of as phrasal, and consider the second half of the sentence as a prepositional phrase. This is still allowable since gerund phrases function as nouns
It is correct. There is nothing wrong with its grammar.

Inmate Adrian Rivera charged with switching IDs with Rocky Marquez
DETROIT - Federal authorities have charged a Wayne County jail inmate with assisting the escape of another inmate by switching identity wristbands.
The U.S. Marshals Service says Rocky Marquez had promised to take care of Adrian Rivera when Rivera gets out of jail.
Rivera was charged Friday in Detroit federal court. Meanwhile, Marquez still is on the run, nearly two weeks after leaving the jail -- and it's not his first escape.
When Marquez was arrested on Jan. 14, he was wanted in Arizona for escaping the Maricopa County jail in Phoenix eight months ago.
The Marshals Service says Rivera flushed Marquez' wristband down a toilet after the two men made the switch. Rivera told authorities that he would pretend to be asleep when Wayne County jail officers called Marquez' name.

Area football previews
2011 record: 5-5 overall, 1-3 SCC Division I East
Head coach: Don Drust (interim)
Assistant coaches: Anthony Lucibello, offensive coordinator; Steve Bowman, quarterbacks; Phil Bowman, receivers, secondary; Brian Perry, running backs, linebackers; John Bowman, offensive, defensive line; Joe Krutz, Junior varsity head coach; Rich Riddle, special teams; Guido Maiolo, linebackers.
Key returning players: Sam Pascale (Sr., captain, TB), Vincent Sansone (Sr., captain, QB), Matt Escoto (Sr., captain, OL-DL), Colin Harding (Sr., OL-DL), Tim Covel (Sr., WR-DB), Beau Bartone (Sr., S), Kevin Dietrich (Sr., WR), Matt Gardiner (Sr., MLB), Erik Pierson (Sr., RB-DB).
Others to watch: Jack Cunningham (So., WR), Andrew Yamin (So., ILB), Anthony Carbone (Jr., WR-DB), Kyle Hodgdon (Sr.,), Mark Dietrich (Jr., WR-DB).
Key losses: Shaun Bowman, OL-DL; Billy Weyrauch, RB-LB; Sebastian Little, WR-DB; Kyle Pulek, PK-P; Dylan Baumgardner, RB-LB; Michael John Ecke, QB; Jake Scinto, WR-DB; Andrew Kaczmarek, OL-DL; Nick Palladino, WR-LB; David Brzozowski, OL-DL; Jesse Eddy, OL-DL; Pat Winiarski, OL-DL.
Drust's take: "I'm a family guy. This is a family program, and there is a lot of pride in this program."
Jaffman's take: Drust, 31, a former player at Cheshire and assistant coach for six years, takes over for longtime coach Mark Ecke, who stepped down after 17 seasons and four state titles, the last in 2009. Drust has a low-key personality, and his hands-on approach should work well during this transitional phase. While he is an interim head coach, he is not worried about the one-year tag, saying that by season's end, if the players improved and become better in all phases of their lives, then he did his job. Drust has plenty of talent around him, despite some glaring losses due to graduation. Sam Pascale and Vincent Sansone are two playmakers and experienced varsity members. Matt Escoto anchors the line, which took a major hit with graduation. The Rams have had two consecutive 5-5 records and that hasn't sat well with them. Getting off to a good start against Shelton in the season opener is critical to reach the high expectations they have.
2011 record: 7-3 overall, 7-3 Pequot Uncas
Head coach: Scott Salius (fifth season, 28-15)
Assistant coaches: Dan Jones, quarterbacks, linebackers; Bob McCarthy, running backs, secondary; Jeff Rines, line; Chris Salius, line.
Key returning players: Jim Schmitz (Sr., captain, C-DL), Kyle Gain (Sr., captain, OG-LB), John Ambrozaitis (Sr., captain, WR-CB), Nick Sullivan (Sr., WR), Tom Casey (TE), Tony Ortiz Jr. (Jr., RB-FS), John Lippincott (Jr., QB-LB). Sean Bruey (Sr., OT-DL), Ryan Ott (Jr., G-MLB), Seth Dayton (Jr., RB-CB),
Others to watch: Ed Vanty (Sr., WR-DB), Nick Pedrolini (Jr., WR-DB), Aiden Tellier (So., RB-LB), Matt Nieves (So., RB-LB), Mitchell Jackson (So., OL-DL).
Key losses: Devon Molway, RB-LB; Zach Gain, OL-DL; J.P. Duluc, LB-PK; Max Chenail, OL-DL; Alex Moreira, OL.
Notable statistics: Ortiz, Ambrozaitis and Dayton combined for 22 interceptions in the secondary last season ... Of the 42 players on the roster, 30 are from Northwestern, and 12 from Gilbert.
Salius' take: "Our tough early schedule, consisting of Coventry, Enfield, Ellington, Sports Sciences and Avon, will be a key. We cannot have a slow start."
Jaffman's take: The five schools Salius mentioned were a combined 36-14 last season, including two playoff-bound teams, Ellington/Somers (10-0) and Coventry/Windham Tech/Bolton (9-1). If the Yellowjackets can win four of their first five, they would be in serious contention for another postseason berth. In Salius' brief tenure, he's elevated the program by leaps and bounds, guiding the program to its first postseason berth and a quarterfinal win in 2010. Last season, the team came up a win short from qualifying again. The returning players are good enough to make a strong bid, led by tailback-safety Tony Ortiz Jr., who succeeds Devon Molway as the primary offensive threat. Ortiz is fast, strong and capable of taking over a game, just like Molway did the past two seasons. Second-year starting quarterback John Lippincott has the skills and experience to be one of the top players in the Pequot Conference. The supporting cast is good enough to improve on last year's mark.
2011 record: 4-6 overall, 4-6 Pequot Uncas
Head coach: Deron Bayer (sixth season, 21-30)
Assistant coaches: Doug Richardson, offensive, defensive line; Ray Palmer, running backs, secondary; Mike Brenner, head trainer, equipment.
Key returning players: Mark Wildman (Sr., OL-DL), Matt McElhone (Sr., OL-DL), John Haddon (Sr., RB-LB), Jeremy Stiewing (Jr., RB-DB), Shawn Cullmer (Sr., OL-DL), Eric Kenniston (Sr., OL-DL), Matt Perrotti (Sr., RB-LB), Anthony Zucco (Sr., RB-DB), Connor MacLaren (Sr., RB-LB), Doug Whipple (Sr., RB- DB).
Key losses: Forrest Hayden, OL-DL; Will Perotti, RB-DB; Jake Foley, RB-LB; Donyell Williams, RB-DB; Tyler Dean, TE-DE; Adam Vernali, OL-DL.
Bayer's take: "We will look to stop the run (better) and improve our pass defense."
Jaffman's take: The losses of Perotti, Foley and Williams are huge. They were the primary offensive weapons in recent years, especially in 2011. Still, the offensive game plan is based on a strong offensive line, and while the skill players are relatively new, many of the trench players are not. The special teams play is also a key concern with Bayer looking to find a new place-kicker and punter.
Lewis Mills
2011 record: 2-8 overall, 2-8 Pequot Sassacus
Head coaches: Greg Todd (second season, 2-8)
Assistant coaches: Jose Santana, defensive co-coordinator, running backs; Mike Burke, co-defensive coordinator; Mike Guy, special teams, offensive line, linebackers; Cory Jeer, secondary, junior varsity; Nicholas Macri, offensive line, co-JV coach; Gene Michaud, receivers, secondary JV, conditioning; William Woolsey, videographer.
Key returning players: Justin Pease (So., QB-DB), Derick Brown (Sr., OT-NT), Russel LeSage (Sr., captain, OG-DT), Cameron McHale (Jr., captain, C-DT), Nick Cianciola (So., OT-DT), Trevor Watts (Jr., WR-SS), Dominik Jankowski (Jr., captain, TE-DE), Max Stone (Jr., RB-DB), Tom Kysar (Sr., captain, RB-OLB), Keith Millum (Jr., OT-DT), Wyatt Toczko (Jr., OG-DL)
Others to watch: Louis Meyer (Sr., RB-WR-DB), Casey Cieminewski (So., WR), Ben Lewis (Fr., WR-DB), Aris Arteimudis (Jr., PK-P), Dale Matusek Sr., FB-ILB).
Key losses: Nick Gnitzcavitch, FB-DB; Jayson Sadowski, OT; Robert Martinotti, WR; Devin Pease, QB. Jeremy Dunn, TE.
Todd's take: "We have great enthusiasm and commitment to getting stronger and learning the game of football."
Jaffman's take: The Spartans graduated several key players on both sides of the ball and the younger players have big shoes to fill. Still, Todd believes his nucleus features plenty of potential. Three-year varsity player Cameron McHale anchors the line and is a true leader. Quarterback Justin Pease can run the spread formation and has a lot of composure for an underclassman. Tom Kysar will be the primary running back and is quick to the line and good on the perimeter.
2011 record: 0-10 overall, 0-10 Pequot Sassacus
Head coach: John Oko (fourth season)
Assistant coaches: Chris Martinelli, defensive coordinator; John Stolle, offensive, defensive line; Wes Schivera, line, outside linebackers.
Key returning players: Mike Paniccia (Sr., captain, WR), Chris Metallo (Jr., QB), Nick Bordierre (Jr. FB), Dave Norris (Sr., WR), Brian Bowyer (Sr., captain, C-LB), T.J. Meyer (Sr, captain, RB-FS), Kevin Wheeler (Jr., G), Matt Stewart (Sr., WR), Will Mosher (Sr., captain, DE), Will Joyce (Jr., OT-DE), Mark Violette (Jr., DB), Nick Uberti (Jr., HB-OLB), Elijah Gonnillo (So., OT-DT).
Others to watch: R.J. Burke (So., OG-LB), Troy Hardisty (So., WR-OLB).
Key losses: Jake Pogodzienski, TE; Nick Brennan, DE.
Oko's take: "Our team unity is much better this year and the work ethic has greatly improved. Based on this, we believe we will be competitive with a chance to win."
Jaffman's take: Chris Metallo has a strong arm and can run the option effectively. He was a starter at QB for the second half of the season last year. Metallo has plenty of support. Nick Bordierre is a strong and quick to the line and is also a good receiver out of the backfield. He complements T.J. Meyer, the primary offensive weapon who also calls the defensive signals from his free safety position. Oko calls Nick Uberti a "throwback" type of player. Mosher is a three-year starter on the line and a strong leader by example.
O'Brien Tech
2011 record: 3-7 overall, 3-6 Constitution State Conference
Head coach: Nick Aprea (first season)
Assistant coaches: John Milhalko, defensive coordinator; Todd Pagano, RB-DL; Brian Federowicz, WR-DB; Dave Brai, statistics.
Key returning players: Nick Coppola (Jr., QB), Paul Makinano (So., WR), Matt Hamila (Sr., G), Steven Sabanski (Sr., OT), Matt Gomulinski (Sr., OL-DL), Justin Rochon (WR-DB), Joe Fernandes (WR-DB), Ryan Livosi (OL-DL), Devin Bacchiocci (RB-LB-P).
Key losses: Tom Buckles, RB-LB; Frank Corso, RB-LB; D.J. Brai, G-DL; Cecil Bost, T-DE; Chris Guillette, C-LB; Ross Molnar, TE-DE.
Aprea's take: "How fast the young kids pick up what we are trying to do and how the young players react in a varsity game will be key."
Jaffman's take: The Condors handled their first season as a varsity well, but went through growing pains. Aprea, an assistant last season, inherits a young team as the core of two-way players, who played in the Derby-O'Brien Tech co-op program two years ago, has graduated. There will be at least eight new players on defensive side. Still, the Condors have a good quarterback in three-year starter Nick Coppola.
2011 record: 3-7 overall, 3-2 SWC Patriot Division.
Head coach: Joe Stochmal (sixth season, 13-28)
Assistant coaches: Bob Kelo, offensive coordinator, secondary; Charlie Rizzio, defensive coordinator, running backs, linebackers; Joe Gumbrewicz, running backs, linebackers; Lu Diaz, head freshmen coach, receivers, secondary; Josh Harris, assistant freshmen, line.
Key returning players: Brennen Diaz (Sr., captain, QB-S), Bucky Gumbrewicz (Sr., OL), Dan Carbonaro (Jr., OL), Jeff Haney (Jr., FB-LB), Chris VanKamerik (Jr., WR-DB).
Others to watch: Josh Kupec (Sr., OL-DL), Dave Lavorgna (Sr., WR-DL), Steve Persson (Jr., RB-DB), Marcus Esteves (Jr., RB-LB), Justin Hanna (Jr., OL-DL), Kevin Loschiavo (Jr., WR-DB), Steven Hatzikostas (Sr., WR-OLB), Salim Lemond (Sr., WR-DB), Ryan Tuttle (Sr., WR).
Key losses: Alex Miller, QB-DB; Joe Carbonaro, OL-DL; Matt Hanna, Ol-DL; Chris Hovan, RB-LB; Jordan Biagioni, WR-DB; Brian Spicer, TE-DE; Anthony Paternoster, FB-LB; Justin Lasto, WR-LB.
Stochmal's take: "We will be young and will have to grow up quickly. We must play with a sense of urgency."
Jaffman's take: The Wolverines are coming off a 3-7 season that didn't sit well with the returning players. To improve, they need to depend heavily on four-year varsity player Brennen Diaz, one of only seven seniors on the roster. Diaz, the quarterback, missed a good portion of the 2011 season with injuries, but is healthy again and motivated to lead the youthful squad. Helping Stochmal is a familiar name. Former Seymour offensive coordinator Bob Kelo, a volunteer on game-day with the Wolverines last year, is now full-time. When Stochmal was a star quarterback at Seymour in the late 1980s, Kelo was the offensive coordinator. Despite having so many inexperienced players, Stochmal and Kelo still expect the team to be ready to challenge the South-West Conference's elite teams.
2011 record: 8-2 overall, 3-2 SWC Colonial Division
Head coach: David Roach (second season, 8-2)
Assistant coaches: Tony Pereira, defensive coordinator; Steve Prajer, offensive coordinator; Art Blais, offensive line, JV; Kevin Maxen, running backs, linebackers, JV; Tim McMahon, defensive line, JV; Ed Johannes, defensive line, Rob Mazuroski, head freshmen; Ryan Suter, assistant freshmen.
Key returning players: Rob Torino (Sr., captain, LG-DE), Carl Gatzendorfer (Sr., captain, WR-DB), Jesse Prajer (Sr., captain, LT-DE), Eric Beatty (Sr., QB), Corey Baker (Sr., OG), Jack Yule (Jr., LB).
Others to watch: Deamus Conway (Jr., C), Dylan McAllister (Sr., RB), Bob Tzepos (Jr., LB).
Key losses: Nick De Lotto, DE; Garrett De Lotto, WR-LB; Andrew Reel, RB-LB; Matt Houle, OG; Matt Paola, WR-PK-P-DB; Tyler Valenti, LB.
Noteworthy: When Eric Beatty was the place-kicker as a sophomore for the injured Matt Paola, he converted all 47 extra points he attempted.
Roach's take: "If we work hard, learn to work as a team and play tough Pomperaug football, we will be a tough team to beat."
Jaffman's take: The Panthers open the season with Masuk, Newtown and Weston, which went a combined 25-5 last season. Masuk and Newtown have been perennial SWC contenders. Pomperaug's only losses last season came against Bunnell (34-21) and Masuk (49-3). The Panthers lost out on a playoff berth because of the CIAC tiebreaker system. A slip in any of the first three games would put Pomperaug in a bind. The Panthers graduated a chunk of their offense with Andrew Reel. In his place will be Dylan McAllister, who is primed for a breakout year. McAllister will benefit from playing behind a solid offensive line, anchored by Rob Torino, Jesse Prajer and Corey Baker. Eric Beatty played well in his first year as a starting QB and should be even better this year. His primary receiver will be Carl Gatzendorfer, but the Panthers also have some up-and-coming talent that is expected to play key roles.
2011 record: 6-4, overall; 2-2, CCC Division I-West
Head coach: Mike Drury (second season, 6-4)
Assistant coaches: Chuck Drury, offensive coordinator; John Pereira, offensive line, run game coordinator; Rob Thomson, defensive coordinator; Dan Plant, defensive line, JV head coach; Nate Pryzbeck, receivers, secondary, Matt Kelleher, quarterbacks; Garry Coles, receivers; Jim Earl, running backs; Jeff Tye, video coordinator.
Key returning players: Nick Spitz (Sr., TE-LB, captain), Josh Irizarry (Sr., captain, OL-DL), Travis Clark (Sr., captain, OL-DL), Travis Daly (Sr, captain, OL-DL), Stephen Barmore (Jr., QB), Zach Maxwell (Jr., OLB), Jarriod Grimmett (Jr., RB-DB), David DiNeo (Jr., RB-LB), Corbin Garry (Jr., WR-S).
Key losses: Andrew Walowski, TE-LB; Matt O'Connor, RB-LB; Dan Manware, OT-DE; Ryan Hurley, OG; Brian Kaminsky, WR-DB; Jared DeGumbia, WR-DB.
Drury's take: "We need to protect the football and score in the red zone."
Jaffman's take: The Blue Knights believe they can contend for the CCC title with Conard, Hall, Simsbury, New Britain and Newington. Southington has a solid quarterback in Stephen Barmore, who started halfway through his freshman year and all 10 games as a sophomore. He has the ability to stretch the defense with his arm and the ability to run as well.
2011 record: 8-0, Norm Walker Bowl champion, Class A New England champion
Head coach: Tyler Whitley (first season)
Assistant coaches: Casey D'Annolfo, quarterbacks, secondary; Nick MacDonald, defensive coordinator, OL-DL; Tom Cesarz, line, linebackers; Bob Ganung, receivers, defensive line; Mike Hoffman, receivers, linebackers.
Key returning players: Tim Drakeley (Sr., captain, QB, of Woodbury), Casey Kuhns (Sr., captain, LB), Buolo Jonga (Sr., captain, OL-DL), Adam Parker (Sr., RB-LB), Alex Huard (Jr., WR-DB-PK), Will Pope (Sr., OL-DL, of Middlebury), Kevin Carey (Sr., WR-S), Quentin Harris (So., QB-DB), Carty Campbell (Jr., OL-LB).
Others to watch: Nick LaSpada (PG, WR-S), David Berment (PG, WR-DB), O'Shea Bell (PG, WR-DB), David Wolff (PG, FB-LB).
Whitley's take: "The offense will be fast-paced and will take advantage of our team speed by spreading the field and creating mismatches."
Jaffman's take: Whitley, a four-year player at Wesleyan University, inherits a talented team, including Drakeley, an All-New England selection who threw for 28 touchdowns with only one interception, and Huard, an All-Erickson League selection who was offered a scholarship to Boston College. LaSpada, one of the four postgraduates, was the Massachusetts Gatorade State Player of the Year as a sophomore at Billerica High. Whitley, who coached two years at Salisbury School and was a graduate assistant at Sacred Heart University, succeeds Panos Voulgaris, who left to become coach at Episcopal High in Alexandria, Va.
Wolcott Tech
2011 record: 1-9, overall, 0-9 Constitution State Conference
Head coach: Jamie Coty (sixth)
Assistant coaches: Joe Perusse, running backs, linebackers; Jennifer Stango, receivers, secondary.
Key returning players: Mike Sullivan (Sr., captain, FB-LB), Cody Dallavalla (Sr., captain, LG-DE), Shane Celone (Sr., captain, RG-MLB), Asante Maldon (Jr., TB-FS), Mike Ross (So., QB), Dylan Bach (So., C-DL), Dan Fortier (Sr., OT-DL), Tom Howell (OT-DL), Christian Berti (Jr., TE-DL), Kevin Crispin (Jr., RB-NT), John Lee (Sr., WR-DB).
Key losses: James Daniels, OG-LB; Paul Daniels, FB-S.
Coty's take: "I am hoping we can be a .500 team."
Jaffman's take: If there's anyone who deserves to have a successful season, it is Coty, who started the program and hasn't given up hope despite the growing pains. The former Wilby standout is committed to seeing the program grow. He has high hopes for sophomore quarterback Michael Ross, who played the final five games of the 2011 season as a freshman and showed glimpses of potential. Ross will run the veer, but can also throw the ball effectively on the run or out of the shotgun. The strength of the team is clearly the offensive line, anchored by Cody Dallavalla, Shane Celone and Dan Fortier. The running game is also solid with fullback Michael Sullivan and tailback Asante Maldon, who is a hard-nosed runner and also gives the Wildcats game-breaking potential.

Compact and comfortable.
Compact bars continue to be exceedingly popular among the pro ranks. One reason is that they make it easier to position your hands closer to the brake levers when riding in the drops. With the lightning-quick shifts required to launch or cover attacks, easy access the controls is a must. The Easton EC70 SL3 Handlebar features the same shape and many of the refinements of Easton's top-end EC90 SLX3 bar, but it'll save you some money to put towards other upgrades. It also won't stack up the grams, as it weighs in around 230 grams.
The EC70 SL3 Handlebar is made of Easton's EC70 carbon fiber, which uses Easton's proprietary (and gram-saving) TaperWall technology for its construction. Basically, Easton uses more carbon where stiffness is paramount, and less where it's not as critical. And with the addition of a little bit of engineered flex, Easton enhanced the ride quality and comfort. Easton calls this 'Intelligent Flex,' and it produces a markedly smoother ride.
The compact shape of the EC70 SL 3 simplifies your position in the drop, which makes access to the levers increasingly comfortable. Also, the drops feature more of a traditional round bend. This way, your hands aren't forced into one position, as is the case with most ergo-shaped bars. As for actual dimensions, the EC70 SL3 has 75mm of reach and a drop of 130mm.
The Easton EC70 SL3 Handlebar has a clamp diameter of 31.8mm and is available in 40, 42, and 44mm widths. For color, it has a matte black, uni-directional carbon finish.

Charlie Riedel/Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. � Hot pace. Muggy day. One of the deepest, talented fields in years.
A delicious stew with all the ingredients for an unpredictable Kentucky Derby.
The 20-horse field for Saturday�s race is so stacked that unbeaten Gemologist is no better than third choice on the morning line.
In other years, the colt would be the talk of the Derby. In this one, early favorites Bodemeister and Union Rags have grabbed the spotlight.
Still, some very talented colts could go off at big odds � I�ll Have Another at 12-1 or, at 15-1, Take Charge Indy, whose jockey Calvin Borel has brought home long-shot winners twice in five years.
�This is the best bunch I�ve seen in a long time,� four-time Derby-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas said. �I was out there riding next to some of them, and let me tell you, this is a hell of a group.�
Lukas will saddle one of the longest shots, 50-1 Optimizer.
�History tells us that you can�t throw anyone out,� said Todd Pletcher, a former Lukas assistant who has two Derby starters, including Gemologist. �There have been some winners the past few years that have been way down everybody�s depth charts.�
Some of the strongest contenders � Hansen, for example � have had the most success running at or near the pace. But their task is complicated by the presence of speedball Trinniberg, who could prove to be enough of a pest on the front end to compromise any horse willing to keep pace with him.
If the early fractions in the 1 1/4-mile race are fast enough, it could set up well for a deep closer like Dullahan, Daddy Nose Best or I�ll Have Another.
Three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert, who trains 4-1 favorite Bodemeister and long shot Liaison, called it �one of the toughest Derbys I�ve been in probably the last 10 years.�
�I�ve brought some really good horses here, and they were the best horse, but they got beat,� he said, referring to Lookin At Lucky, the 2010 race-day favorite who was trapped on the rail and finished sixth. In 2001, his heavy favorite Point Given wound up fifth.
�I don�t want to get myself too pumped up. Even my son, Bode, doesn�t want to talk about it,� he said.
The 7-year-old namesake of Bodemeister is worried. Upon learning the colt was headed to the Derby, he asked his dad, �Well, what if he loses?�
�It�s a little extra pressure for me to make sure that he runs well,� said Baffert, who had a medical scare in March when he was hospitalized with a heart attack in Dubai.
Bodemeister, ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, goes into the starting gate staring down 129 years of Derby history. The last horse to win without racing as a 2-year-old was Apollo in 1882.
Union Rags, the 9-2 second choice ridden by Julien Leparoux, is the best horse trainer Michael Matz has brought to the Derby since he won with undefeated Barbaro in 2006.
�I was lucky enough once,� he said. �It�s hard to believe you can get lucky twice.�
Matz trains the strapping colt for Phyllis Wyeth, the former steeplechase rider who was paralyzed from the waist down in a 1962 car accident and gets around in a wheelchair. She is married to painter Jamie Wyeth, whose father was the renowned artist Andrew Wyeth.
Gemologist, undefeated in five races, is trained by 2010 Derby winner Pletcher, yet he�s been overshadowed by the other entrants since arriving late in Louisville and getting most of his training in Florida.
�He�s done everything he could possibly do, but part of it might be because the 2-year-old races he ran in weren�t the Breeders� Cup races,� Pletcher said. �He was a little late in developing.�
Two of Gemologist�s wins came at Churchill Downs.
�Anytime you�ve had success over this track in the past, it bodes well for the future,� Pletcher said.
Hansen is a standout on looks alone. The colt nearly is white, and his outspoken owner Kendall Hansen tried to doll him up by having his tail painted blue for the Blue Grass three weeks ago. The track stewards didn�t approve, and neither did trainer Mike Maker.
�We�re going to win this race,� Hansen said. �We�re not worried about anybody. We�ve got the best horse.�
Like Baffert and Pletcher, Steve Asmussen has two horses in the Derby � Daddy Nose Best and Sabercat � who will try to help him end an 0-for-10 skid. He came close last year when Nehro finished second to Animal Kingdom.
�It is definitely on the bucket list,� Asmussen said. �I like my horses, love how they�re doing, feel that they�re going to run real good Saturday, but have no control over everybody else.�
Trainer Graham Motion, jockey John Velazquez, and Barry Irwin, who heads the Team Valor ownership group, shared last year�s win with Animal Kingdom. They return with 20-1 shot Went the Day Well, trying to become the first connections to repeat since 1972-73 when Riva Ridge and Secretariat prevailed.
And then there�s the weather.
Saturday�s forecast calls for a high of 86 with a 30-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. The Derby day temperature has topped 80 degrees just five times since 1969, when it hit 87.
Making it feel subtropical is the humidity, which was close to 70 percent Friday. The heat combined with humidity affects horses in different ways. Some sweat profusely; others handle the elements. All Derby horses will be examined by vets on race morning.
�The hot weather may be to our advantage,� said Mark Casse, who saddles 30-1 shot Prospective. �There are some hot-headed horses in this field that it could hurt. My horse stays calm and cool.�
Getting the ideal trip is a key factor, especially with the traffic issues created by such a large field making for a chaotic charge into the first turn. Some horses may be forced to stop and make a second charge in the later stages, which may not suit their running styles.
�There are so many things that have to go right other than being good,� Asmussen said.
Post time is 4:24 p.m. Mountain.

Health and Beauty Treatments That Might Save Your Life
OK, so maybe not immediately, but develop these health and beauty habits and they will add years to your life
How often should you get one? Get a tailored facial monthly to maintain healthy skin, says Bratschi. However, the need for a facial can increase depending on a number of different factors such as "if you travel a lot, live in a large or densely populated area, are exposed to more pollution and contaminants, live in a hot or cold climate, [and/or] have a stressful job or personal life," she says.

I intended to write that first paragraph in yellow text, but couldn't figure out how to get the text editor to do that. Apparently, the MGoTextEditor is more intelligent than our athletic director. I will say in his defense, the jerseys probably looked fine indoors, it's just that nobody thought to see what they looked like in natural light, or during a really sunny day in Florida. I lived in Michigan for 26 years, and remember those cold, grey winters when all you wanted was just to see the sun shine to remind you that a life-giving force existed in the universe.

The UK government said that while it recognized the risks of drilling for hydrocarbons in the sensitive Arctic region, high environmental and drilling standards, efforts to enhance oil spill prevention and response mechanisms would be more effective than a complete ban.
By SELINA WILLIAMS
LONDON -- The UK government has rejected lawmakers' calls
for a halt to Arctic oil and gas drilling, despite renewed
safety concerns following the recent grounding of Royal Dutch
Shell's Kulluk rig off Alaska, saying that securing global
energy supplies was paramount.
The UK government's comments, published Tuesday, come as
Shell on Monday said it had safely towed the Kulluk
rig to safe harbor on Kodiak Island in the Gulf of
The rig ran aground in stormy weather Dec. 31 while under tow,
further highlighting fears about the environmental risks of oil
extraction in the Arctic.
The government said that while it recognized the risks of
drilling for hydrocarbons in the sensitive Arctic region, high
environmental and drilling standards, efforts to enhance oil
spill prevention and response mechanisms would be more
effective than a ban.
"We believe these measures -- combined with effective and
ambitious global action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions -- are more likely to be
effective in protecting the Arctic environment than pressing for a
complete moratorium on all drilling in the Arctic region," the
government said.
The government was responding to a report from the UK
parliament's Environmental Audit Committee in
September last year, which recommended an immediate moratorium
on Arctic drilling until safety is improved.
The lawmakers want to see a pan-Arctic oil spill response
plan, research showing that response techniques will work in
extreme conditions and the introduction of stricter financial
liability rules for oil and gas companies operating in the
However, the UK government said the International Energy
Agency's recent global oil demand and supply forecasts implied
a need to source substantial new production capacity between
now and 2035. New oil supplies are vital for the UK, which is
becoming increasingly dependent on oil imports as its domestic
hydrocarbon production declines.
"It is against this background that we need to ensure we
have continued access to a well supplied and competitive world
oil market, whilst reducing our exposure to volatile oil and
gas prices," the government said.
The UK has no power over the Arctic, but it does have
observer status on the Arctic Council, a grouping of eight
Arctic states that discusses Arctic issues.
Joan Walley, the chair of the Environmental Audit Committee, said
the grounding of the Kulluk rig raised serious questions about
the safety of Shell's operations in the Arctic and the
committee would be calling them back to parliament to give
further evidence.

Is it acceptable to run 22/4 security wire along side Cat6 and Coax cables, or is there any possibility for interference?
TL;DR it should be OK to run them together.
The signals from a security sensor are typically very low frequency because they're generated by the switch within the sensor opening and closing as the sensor activates. So for a motion detector, it might open and close a few times as you cross the field of view; a door or window sensor would switch as often as you open or close its corresponding door/window, etc.
The signals from a remote keypad are higher frequency because they have to communicate more information, e.g. the text to display on the screen, or which buttons were pressed on the keyboard, but they're still going to be low frequency1.
Twisted pair cables, such as Cat 6, are fairly immune to outside electromagnetic interference, and coax is even better thanks to its outer shield. And since the signals they carry (e.g. Gigabit Ethernet, TV signals, etc.) are very high frequency, the chances of interference with the security system's signals are very low.
1. The value 300 bits/second is emerging from my long-term memory, but I could be conflating it with the speed of the soft modems on security panels
I can only say from experience, but I've never had any problems running cat5e/6 for data/voice and security along with coax in the same bundle. This is in an office environment.
In a sensitive environment like a datacenter environment they would likely be in separate raceways but I wouldn't worry about it in your home.

Kdenlive 0.7.5 was released on the 1st of july 2009.
This page lists some of the new features you will find in Kdenlive 0.7.5
For this release, we mostly focused on bug fixes and stability issues to improve the user experience. Previous versions of the 0.7.x releases had frequent timeline corruption issues and hopefully those should be fixed now.

A new release of MLT (version 0.4.4) was also released today and we encourage all users to upgrade.
This will allow you to adjust your effects more precisely, or zoom out to see all your tracks.
To make use of this feature, you must first create a normal title, then save it (using the "save" icon in titler toolbar). In this title clip, put a text block containing the string "%s".
Then, go to the "Project" menu, "Add Template Title":
In this example I created 2 template clips (using the "Clone title clip" option). Then, you just need to double click in the "Description" column of the template clips, enter your text and it will appear in the monitor.
Unicode values can be inserted via the icon or with Shift+Ctrl+U in the Title Clip window.
Most unicode characters can be found on decodeunicode.org. If you've got a few special characters which are not on your keyboard. Take a note of their value, e.g. on a piece of paper, and you won't need to copy/paste a single character anymore :)
Manually adjust your effects keyframes (for example to adjust audio volume).

Is it generally the case that getting stuck/working on a difficult problem means that you feel uncomfortable (i.e. you head hurt)? Or do some people feel like they are watching a movie and it is fun? In other words, is some sort of exhaustion inevitable?
You can certainly exhaust yourself when up against a frustratingly difficult problem. A generally accepted tactic is to step away from the problem and go for a walk or do something else entirely unrelated to the problem. This often allows your brain to find other ways to get around the block.
The only way to improve in anything is to do it until you reach the point of fatigue, but not exhaustion. As a trainer told me, run until you're too tired to sing, but not too tired to talk. Then stop.
This applies to just about every learning process out there. Never do it until you're burnt out, but push yourself until it hurts a little. After a while, you start to enjoy it and it makes you feel better. The joy is not quite like watching a movie.. more like riding a rollercoaster or drinking water on a very hot day.
That's a classic example of stress. Do too much work like that, and you are bound to get a burnout. The ideal way is to either balance out the stressful and easier tasks, or to lessen the workload by talking with the manager. If it's just a single exhausting task, then you can split the task into smaller units, and work on just one part. Take some breaks too, as humans cannot concentrate for long periods of time. That makes solving hard issues difficult in one sitting. Often the solution pops into your head "in the shower" or other random locations.

Comments about iRobot Left Wheel Module:
I set the schedule to run while I'm at work, so I always come home to a clean house. I love the ease of use. I can always do additional cleaning if needed by restarting Roomba any time of day. I did think it should have lasted longer than 3 months before having to replace modules.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I just graduated from an engineering school and am about to begin classes as a PhD candidate. As I review my undergraduate classes and sift through old notes, I find myself wanting for more math knowledge. While I did well in math classes, I always felt as though I was following steps rather than gaining a depth of understanding and intuition. To get to the point:
Can you recommend any books to brush up on and perhaps gain a more advanced understanding of calculus and PDEs?
As an undergraduate, I used Salas Hille and Etgen, which I felt was great at teaching rote steps to solve problems but lacked some depth.
Thanks in advance!
(Questions regarding a reasonable self-guided book have very frequently been brought up on this forum. However, I like to think this is unique and apologize if this feels "repeated.")

Complex analytic functions show rigid behavior while real-valued smooth functions are flexible. Why is this the case?
Well, real-valued analytic functions are just as rigid as their complex-valued counterparts. The true question is why complex smooth (or complex differentiable) functions are automatically complex analytic, whilst real smooth (or real differentiable) functions need not be real analytic.
As Qiaochu says, one answer is elliptic regularity: complex differentiable functions obey a non-trivial equation (the Cauchy-Riemann equation) which implies a integral representation (the Cauchy integral formula) which then implies analyticity (Taylor expansion of the Cauchy kernel); the ellipticity of the Cauchy-Riemann equation is what gives the analyticity of its fundamental solution, the Cauchy kernel. Real differentiable functions obey no such equation.
Another approach is via Cauchy's theorem. In both the real and complex setting, differentiability implies that the integral over a closed (or more precisely, exact) contour is zero. But in the real case this conclusion has trivial content because all closed contours are degenerate in one (topological) dimension. In the complex case we have non-trivial closed contours, and this makes all the difference.
EDIT: Actually, the above two answers are basically equivalent; the latter is basically the integral form of the former (Morera's theorem).
One answer is that property of being complex analytic is equivalent to being a solution to a differential equation (namely the Cauchy-Riemann equations) whereas there is no analagous formulation for being a smooth function. Once you have this formulation it should be immediately clear that complex analytic functions are rigid because solutions to differential equations are rigid. The whole idea of boundary value problems and initial value problems is predicated on the fact that knowing a solution to differential equation in a small area determines its values everywhere, which is precisely the type of rigidity that complex analytic functions have.
So you might ask why do complex analytic functions satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Well every real smooth function from R^2 to R^2 has a derivative, which is a 2x2 matrix. Requiring the function to be complex differentiable is the same as requiring that matrix to be a "complex number", i.e. a matrix of the following form: first row = [a, -b], second row = [b, a]. Well this condition is precisely the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
Here is a related discussion from combinatorics and more: http://gilkalai.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/test-your-intuition-6/#comment-2057 A very nice explanation by John Baez (in two installments) can be found here
and here
The book Visual Complex Analysis gives a good explanation: locally, analytic functions are rotations and dilations. Disks go to disks. A smooth function of two real variables may map disks to ellipses. That is, a real valued function can distort disks in a way that analytic functions cannot.
To expand on Dinakar's comment about boundary value problems, the physical intuition one should have here is that the real and complex parts of a complex differentiable functions are harmonic functions (this is just a restatement of the C-R equations). An important way harmonic functions arise is as solutions of the steady-state heat equation, so one can think of the values of a harmonic function on a contour as temperatures and the values of a harmonic function in the interior of the contour as the steady-state distribution of temperature determined by the distribution of temperature on the contour. When the contour is a circle one can compute this distribution by convolving with the Poisson kernel; this is a special case of Cauchy's integral formula. The Poisson kernel itself is the canonical example of a "good kernel," and it finds application in Fourier analysis for that reason. One generally expects convolution by a good kernel to have nice properties.
In turn, one reason why diffusion should have anything to do with complex differentiability is that in both cases one wants path integrals to be homotopy invariant, in the first case because path integrals should give the difference in potential and in the second case because this is the correct generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus.
Consider the definition of derivative at a point a, which is formally the same for real functions of a real variable and for complex functions of a complex variable:
f'(a) = lim_{h -> 0}(f(a+h)-f(a))/h.
In the real case, h is real, and approaches 0 along the real line, from the right and from the left. In the complex case, h is complex, and approaches 0 from any possible direction. This makes it more difficult for the limit to exist, and thus for complex functions of a complex variable to have a derivative. When such a function is viewed as a pair of real functions of two real variables, that is, when we write
f(x + i*y) = u(x,y) + i*v(x,y), u and v real valued,
the existence of the above limit translates into the Cauchy-Riemannn equations:
u_x = v_y, u_y = -v_x .
This again shows that a function of the form u(x,y) + i*v(x,y) is smooth in the complex sense only if it satisfies the rigidity imposed by the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
A complex function is analytic if and only if locally it can be represented by a power series. This means that (at least locally) an analytic function is determined by countable data (namely, the Taylor coefficients of its local expansion). This is not true for smooth functions on the real line. In my thinking the rigidity of analytic functions stems from this countable determinacy.
Another instance of this countable determinacy is of course the identity theorem.
Simple answer: because there are so many real-valued smooth functions, and so few complex analytic functions.
(Which is just a smug way of rephrasing Armin Straub's answer. The key is that analyticity is such a strong requirement as opposed to smoothness.)
Read the book Complex Made Simple by Ullrich.

In Diablo 2 (Expansion), what characters survive well in hell with minimum gear? Ideally, this character will be a basic MF character designed to build 'wealth' as I am returning to the game after many years.
I played HC Diablo2 for years and I would strongly suggest a Summoner-Necro as your first character. A sorceress is faster for MF, this is true, but without proper Gear your sorceress is very vulnerable. The Necromancer on the other hand can stay behind his skeletons and wear crappy gear as he very rarely gets attacked. Even a socketed Armor with topaz gems will do fine for first MF runs.
I used to have a wand with teleport charges on my second weapon-slot, so I could switch weapons using W Key and quickly get out of harms way. Get a Act 2 mercenary with Might-Aura as soon as you reach Nightmare difficulty.
IMHO the Summoner-Necro is the easiest class to get through the whole game with crappy gear. On your way you'll find good stuff to get another character going.
With gear you could easily find for cheap (rare items with a couple uniques thrown in), you're best bet is most likely the sorceress. It's been a few years since I've played, but I can still speak from experience as I had a few characters 90+. One of those was a sorceress, and it could easily solo hell areas without spending tons of money on gear. Focus all your skill points in either fire or ice, and you'll be able to do the standard MF runs (Mephisto, Andariel, Baal), with little trouble (Having teleport will be a huge bonus for these). The only problem you may run into following this track are the vast number of magic resistant enemies in act V, but it's a small price to pay for a cheap Magic Find character.
After building up that character, look to expand your actual MF. With the right gear, it's easy to get your magic find to 300% or higher, increasing your ability to get those good drops.
I got to thinking about this further, and if what you want is a character that has decent MF as well as someone who just won't die on you regardless, your safest bet may be a summon necromancer. This is how I got my start one time in Hardcore. I played only in passworded games with those I trusted and leveled myself to 80 with no problems. Some of the bosses got a little tricky with having to resummon 20 skeletons and 20 revives, but my character never came close to dieing. If this is what concerns you the most, this may be a better route until you can build a sorc or some kind of melee (FEAR THE BADDIES WITH IRON MAIDEN) character with enigma to do some better mfing without fear of dieing.
After all these years, Summoner quantity get nerfed that mean on 20th skills of rise skeletons you will have 8 skeletons(same on mage skeleton), but I found out this strategy is the strongest among hardcore characters I made( and lost them !!! )for starting character, currently I use 3 skeleton warriors+3 mage skeleton+1 Clay Golem, the point is find a magical wand that has Corpse explosion Or/And Attract or/and Iron Maiden, you can easily kill Large group of monster with attract, on elite or champion monsters you make them kill themselves by iron maiden casted on them, and on bosses Iron maiden Rock again, the key to killing bosses is to improve clay golem with spending skill or with items.

There are many juicers out there and not any one juicer is best at juicing everything. I am specifically interested in juicing leafy greens and vegetables like carrots.
Hydraulic press juices such as the Norwalk first grind the produce into a pulp, then press the juice out of the pulp. The theory is that malic acid in green apple pulp can release more vitamins and minerals from the other vegetables and fruit. The hydraulic press action squeezes more juice out than other types of juicers. But you're looking at $2500 for a Norwalk.
Macerating juicers would be next, up around the $400+ mark. Gear crushing action, leafy vegetables no problem. Not as much juice extraction as the hydraulic press machines.
Then would come auger style juicers, they easily handle leafy vegetables and wheatgrass, but give a little less juice than the macerating juicers.
Finally the cheapest powered juicers, the centrifugal juicers. I've had trouble using them for leafy greens as there are not solid enough to be forced chopping blades. Usually more solid vegetables are required to follow them to force them through.
Here's a paragraph from the popular Breville centrifugal juicer seen in the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead:
Carrots are fine in all the juicers.
Champion-type macerating juicers work great on carrots; the teeth take them right apart, getting out all the juice and leaving behind a dry pulp. I've seen mixed reports on how well they work on leafy greens.

Just an obvservation from someone who is new to Sencha: I think it's a bad business practice to hold back bug fixes from the "free" version of the software if you are going to offer a free version to begin with. Whether you're alone in doing this or not, it doesn't really matter - I just think it's a bad idea.
Reason being, I am developing a prototype for an app right now, and how the development cycle goes and how the software performs is what's going to decide whether we use it for future development. Right now, the way it looks to my boss is that 1) the product is buggy, and 2) no one will respond to questions about it.
We have absolutely no problem with purchasing support and consider the benefits of the premium plan (performance tweaking, code review and other perks) to be well worth it - IF we have faith in the product and the support staff to begin with. Holding back bug fixes from the free version in order to get more paying customers is not a very good PR move! If you can see it from our perspective for a moment.
I really like the product in general, and maybe my introduction to it has simply come at a bad time, but I'm probably not the only one who feels this way, and a lot of potential customers have probably walked away from it altogether out of frustration, rather than take the risk of seeing what happens when they buy support.
21 Jan 2011 7:36 PM #22
You laid it down perfectly. I've been developing using Sencha products for more than 3 years now, but I feel the same way.Eugene

I disagree. Even bug fixes have consequences, so releasing them into the wild immediately without the opportunity to 1.) make sure they resolve the PAYING customer's issue and 2.) make sure the "fix" doesn't cause other issues is what is a bad idea.
As far as your development cycle goes, well, that's the way it goes for everyone. Regardless of the application software you are using, there *are* always going to be bugs. Some get pushed in hotfixes, some get pushed in dot releases. But the point is, these things have to be done in the right way and, as crappy as it might be, when you are paying nothing for something, sometimes you just have to deal with that kind of stuff.
Finally, have you looked at the support prices? Very reasonable in the scope of operating expenses for most businesses. If your company is serious about development in *any* environment, you're either going to have to pay for licensing fees or support. That's just how it goes. If you're not comfortable working within the boundaries of how Sencha releases happen, then pony up the paltry costs for the support. If you're *worried* about the product to begin with, perhaps you should look elsewhere anyway.
If you want to do everything for free, well, it's like I say to my young daughter: "You get what you get, and don't throw a fit."
23 Jan 2011 11:20 PM #24
I think you're missing the point existdissolve. I'm not trying to "do everything for free," and I don't think the support prices are unreasonable. And I understand there will always be bugs. None of these things are the issue.
There are plenty of companies who offer software with a free license but then offer paid support. There are also plenty of companies who have a separate community supported version of their product and if you want to use it for a commerical product, you have to buy a commercial license. The difference between most of them and the way Sencha apparently does things, is that the free license does have "up to the minute" releases. In fact the free version is usually newer than the commercial version because most enterprise level developers want to work with a known "stable" quantity. So by the time a product gets to a commercial release, it's been thoroughly hammered by the free user community, which benefits everyone. You're saying "make sure the 'fix' doesn't cause other issues" - so paying customers should be the guinea pigs? That doesn't make any sense. If Sencha has confidence that a bug has been fixed for its paying customers, there shouldn't be any worries about releasing the fix to the general community either.
Anyway, I don't want to belabor the point too much. I'm trying to be helpful by letting Sencha know what kind of perception their business model can create, when there are other only slightly different models that don't create the same perception at all.
11 Jun 2012 10:27 AM #25
My two cents.
I had thought until now that Sencha Touch was exclusively a subscriber service, which is an obstacle for someone just getting started in mobile development. I was so very pleased to find out there is a free version! Frankly, it seems a bit whiny that anyone would gripe about their business model; they need to make a living somehow! I'm just happy I can get started without having to pony up any cash! Thanks to everyone who makes this available to us newcomers!

Tumor Profiling Laboratory
The recently opened Tumor Profiling Lab at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven is the first of its kind in Connecticut. Led by Dr. Jeffrey Sklar, Professor of Pathology and of Laboratory Medicine, and Director of the Molecular Genetics Pathology Fellowship, the service allows a patient's tumor to be evaluated in order to determine the optimal treatment plan. The hope is that the resources provided by the Tumor Profiling Laboratory will lead to better-individualized treatment options.
As cancer treatment and therapy becomes more customized and personalized, the need for services such as this becomes greater. Each new advance furthers the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer and leads to the introduction of new drugs that target the molecular alterations that underlie tumor development.
The laboratory is a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified clinical facility that performs high throughput genotype analyses of tumor DNA to predict the sensitivity or resistance of tumors to a variety of therapies. Oncologists are then provided with a detailed mutational profile of their patients' tumors so that treatment may be optimized on an individual basis.
The lab is currently capable of high throughput genotyping of tumors for 60 mutations, but over time this number will increase to include many more. This facility reflects a growing recognition of the value of analyzing tumors for mutations in order to predict the likelihood of patient response or resistance to various drugs. Ultimately, the lab will offer full sequence analysis of tumor genomes for all patients treated at Smilow Cancer Hospital.
Please contact the laboratory directly at (203) 737-1347 if you have any questions regarding tumor specimens or available testing.

Panjiva data shows sharp declines in global trade activity from August to September
New data from Panjiva, an online search engine with detailed information on global suppliers and manufacturers, found that there was a "significant seasonal drop in global trade activity in September."
This was reflected in matching 8 percent declines for the number of United States-bound waterborne shipments and the number of global manufacturers shipping to the U.S. from August to September.
Shipments were down for the second time in the last six months at 1,030,068 for the 8 percent decline. This is steeper than the sequential drop-off in recent years, with 2010 down 6 percent, 2009 down 5 percent, 2008 down 7 percent, and 2007 down 4 percent during the same timeframe.
Manufacturers shipping to the U.S. hit 141,435, which was also steeper than declines in previous years, with 2010 down 6 percent, 2009 down 5 percent, 2008 down 7 percent, and 2007 down 4 percent.
Earlier this year, Panjiva CEO Josh Green told LM that with August typically being the peak year for shipment and manufacturer levels for global trade, that coming declines were likely. With September's numbers, Green's forecast was indeed correct.
"We did expect to see this decline," he said, "but what is somewhat disconcerting is the magnitude of the decline. If you compare it with the declines of previous years, it is the largest we have seen in the last four years. It gives fuel to the fires of fear that are consuming [stakeholders] in global trade right now. As we look around the world and see macroeconomic challenges looming, it is reasonable to be concerned."
Part of the reason for this is that September shipments represent post-holiday orders, which Green said were being made without a sense of truly knowing what lies ahead, with those parties making orders being somewhat cautious for beyond the holiday season.
And until there is clarity on how resilient consumers are the holiday season, Green said it is unlikely businesses will be aggressive in their buying strategies.
"Businesses have basically decided that it is better to be caught too lean with inventory than the alternative," said Green. "Typically what we see is a slow decline through February at which point we should see growth again."
Given this situation, Green said it is expected that businesses will remain cautious with order and buying patterns, adding that he will be taking a close look at the difference between the peak in August and the trough in February in terms of how sharp the declines are, coupled with levels of supply chain contraction.

I'm a web programmer, using the Linux environment for 2 years.(I have experience with Web app hacks +Web app security techniques)
I want to start studying security in-depth, but I have limited time as I am working full time. I want to save time by taking a course rather than studying from a book and setting up a lab for penetration testing.
I am considering taking either the online course from eCPPT Certification eLearnSecurity.com ($600) or OSCP Certification Offensive-Security.com Penetration Testing With BackTrack (PWB) ($950). SANS or Cisco are not in my budget.
So please help me to decide between eLearnSecurity vs. Offensive-Security

Edit::I asking about them because i can take only online courses+online exam that not expensive, If you have other good online possibilities please write.
Edit::Do I have a chance to do Offensive-Security.com course if i have full work Job in month? or also 2 month not anough time?
