Paid-for Hotel Rooms Sitting Vacant
Cracks are appearing in New York City's improvised network of emergency housing for more than 1,000 people who remain homeless nearly a month after superstorm Sandy, including scores of hotel rooms paid for with public money that have been vacant for weeks.
At the Milford Plaza Hotel in Midtown, 120 rooms paid for by the city at a nightly rate of at least $295 have gone unused since mid-November, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Knocks on the doors of dozens of the rooms went unanswered this week.
The tab for the vacant rooms at the Milford will be just under $1 million, according to the documents. A City Hall spokeswoman said the total cost of the post-storm housing program hadn't been calculated.
Beyond the wasted hotel rooms, New Yorkers displaced by the storm pose a daunting challenge to city officials charged with finding them places to stay as temperatures drop below freezing.
In Brooklyn, for example, a group of men sleep in spare quarters on a desolate stretch of Atlantic Avenue after having been moved around the city for a month. Newly homeless families distributed to more spartan accommodations across the city are struggling to make do in cramped hotel rooms miles from their old neighborhoods.
As it closed down temporary shelters in schools and colleges last week, the city relocated the remaining inhabitants to 29 different hotels, putting them in blocks of rooms booked on city credit cards at the rate for government employees. Some ended up in upscale Manhattan hotels while others found themselves sleeping near an airport.
The resulting arrangements, which will last until permanent homes are secured, is messy at best. Displaced residents say they can't afford restaurant meals and don't have cooking facilities. Medical attention is also hard to come by.
"We're just in limbo," said one woman whose Staten Island home flooded and has been living in a single room with her mother and brother at a Holiday Inn Express on West 29th Street in Manhattan. "I'm just getting my head above water right now."
The city expects to be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for all the hotel rooms, including those that no one is sleeping in, said Seth Diamond, the commissioner of the Department of Homeless Services, which is administering the program. More than 2,000 people in the region are staying in hotels paid for directly by FEMA as part of a separate program.
Mr. Diamond said some number of unused rooms are reserved by design so city officials don't have to turn people away if more seek shelter. On Monday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged people living in homes without heat to reach out to the city for assistance.
"What we worry about is people freezing to death in unheated apartments and we need to make sure that we have a buffer, that when people come to us and we need a place to put them immediately," Mr. Diamond said. "We're always looking to add more capacity because we can't be in a position of not having rooms for people who need them."
The number of unused rooms fluctuates from night to night, a City Hall spokeswoman said. Some nights there have been fewer than 100, others there have been several hundred.
City officials have also worried about securing rooms during the busy holiday tourism season. In the week that ended Nov. 17, 93.2% of city hotel rooms were occupied, according to the Bloomberg administration—up 11 percentage points from the same week last year.
At the Days Inn near Kennedy Airport, owner Jigs Gandhi said his rooms have been nearly fully booked since the storm. "It's a big mix of people," he said. "Families who lost their homes, FEMA people, insurance company people, construction."
Michael Byrne, a federal official coordinating FEMA's response to Sandy in New York, said there will be money available to reimburse the city for its hotel rooms as long as it can show that the bookings were necessary to keep people safe. The city's strategy, he said, is an unusual one in postdisaster situations.
"We generally have other options than hotels," Mr. Byrne said. "There's generally rental options available. There's big open spaces where we can put temporary housing units."
FEMA and the city say they are working to keep hotel stays short by focusing on getting homes repaired quickly. Mr. Byrne also pointed to the hundreds of millions of dollars FEMA has given out for rental assistance so people can move into apartments and to help with repairs.
"What we're talking about here is a housing challenge," Mr. Byrne said. "The best solution to a housing challenge is to get the people back into their homes and that's how we've pivoted all of our heavy effort that we've got."
Housing those displaced by disasters has bedeviled officials around the U.S. for years. In September, manufacturers of portable homes that housed thousands after Hurricane Katrina settled a lawsuit brought by people who had lived in the units—sometimes referred to as FEMA trailers—and had been exposed to dangerously high levels of formaldehyde. After Hurricane Irene hit in 2011, hundreds of North Carolina residents remained in temporary units for months.
Still, advocates for the displaced argue that New York City's effort has deep problems.
"Certainly putting families and individuals in hotels rather than on armory floors is better," said Steven Banks, chief attorney at the Legal Aid Society. "But a hotel room is not a home, and there's certainly an impact on children—in terms of their education and in terms of health—to have families crammed into hotel rooms that were meant for tourists and don't provide a proper way to store and prepare food."
Many of those living in hotels and other temporary housing are on their third or fourth stop since the storm. They've been bounced from place to place as the city has tried to reopen educational facilities that initially served as shelters.
A building normally used as transitional housing on Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, is the third stop in an ongoing storm evacuation for Philippe Drice, 55 years old, who was homeless before Sandy.
Mr. Drice said he was asked to leave a Bronx hospital days before Sandy struck and had planned to return to his camp on a beach in Far Rockaway, Queens, when a homeless-services group called his cellphone.
"They said if you sleep under the boardwalk, you're going to die, so I knew I had to go," he said.
Mr. Drice was initially directed to a temporary shelter at York College in Queens. After several days, he and more than a dozen other single men were moved to two rooms in a Bronx home for recovering addicts.
His current accommodation in a converted warehouse building is bare but clean: two single beds, a bathroom and a small kitchen.
He said city workers or Red Cross volunteers at previous shelters provided some clothes, three meals a day and a folding bed he called his "Mayor Bloomberg trophy."
"I'm not leaving until the police take me out," he said. "If it weren't for Sandy, I wouldn't even have this."
Mr. Drice's roommate, Damien, 36, an unemployed computer repairman. said he was embarrassed by his living situation. He evacuated his sister's home in a Far Rockaway public-housing project the day before the storm.
The pair said they are surviving on food stamps and pre-packaged military rations. They pass the time in libraries and watching movies on a laptop.
"I'm not complaining, it's OK here, but I'm leaving as soon as I can," Damien said.

For a self-map $\varphi:X\longrightarrow X$ of a space $X$, many important notions of entropy are defined through a limit of the form $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{n}\log a_n,$$ where in each case $a_n$ represents some appropriate quantity (see, for example, this answer to one of my previous questions.) Let $h(\varphi)$ denote a typical entropy that is defined by a limit as above and after Ian's example, assume that $h(\varphi)>0$. Does anyone know if limits of the form \begin{equation} \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\ \ \frac{a_n}{\exp(n\cdot h(\varphi))} \end{equation} have been studied anywhere? I will appreciate any possible information about such limits. For example, is there a known case where the limit exists? If so, what is the limit called? etc.
EDIT: As pointed out later by Ian, even if we assume $h(\varphi)>0$ this limit may not exist. I was curios to know if there were instances where the limit is known to exist. Or even better, can one characterize self-maps $\varphi$ for which the limit exists?

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo is addressing bullying head-on with a daylong program Feb. 4 focusing on the growing national issue. "Wipe Out Bullying" will examine the problem at schools and in the workplace through lectures, discussions, a film screening and other sessions.
On campus for the program will be Jamie Nabozny, recently named a Defender of Human Rights by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, who will deliver the keynote address on his experience of being bullied at 7:30 p.m. in the MacVittie College Union Ballroom. Growing up, Nabozny was targeted for being gay and harassed. He ended up hospitalized and in surgery from a beating.
Nabozny fought back to help ensure that others receive a safe education, whatever their sexuality. His life has become a documentary, "Bullied: The Jamie Nabozny Story," which will be shown at 10 a.m. in the MacVittie College Union Ballroom.
"We are very fortunate to have Jamie with us for this important community forum," said Tom Matthews, associate dean of leadership and service at SUNY Geneseo. "Bullying is a growing national issue all around us that is often made worse by the pervasive media in our society. We want to do our part to educate people on the problem."
Other sessions during the day include an examination of whether vigorous debate can turn into bullying within the scope of academic freedom; a workshop on educating students with a social conscience to stop bullying; and sessions for K-12 school staff members on recognizing, preventing and intervening with bullying.
Here's a list of the day's events open to the public:
• 10 a.m. "Bullied: The Jamie Nabozny Story" screening (MacVittie Union Ballroom)
• 12:30 p.m. "Academic Freedom: Can Vigorous Debate Turn Into Bullying?" (macVittie Union Ballroom)
• 2:30 p.m. "Inspiring a New Generation: Educating Students With A Social Conscience to Stop Bullying" (MacVittie Union room 114)
• 4:15 p.m. "Recognizing, Preventing and Intervening with Bullying for K-12 School Staff" (MacVittie Union Ballroom)
• 5:45 p.m. "Preventing and Intervening With Bullying and Harrassment: The Role of Student Leaders and RAs" (MacVittie Union Ballroom)
• 7:30 p.m. "Bullied: The Jamie Nabozny Story" guest speaker (MacVittieUnion Ballroom)
The program is co-sponsored by SUNY Geneseo Residence Life, GOLD Program, Student & Campus Life, Center for Community, Student Association, Activities Commission, Ella Cline Shear School of Education, Geneseo Chapter of United University Professions and New York State United Teachers.

Given a representable, surjective morphism of Artin stacks $\phi:\mathcal{F}\to\mathcal{G}$, is it true (like it happens for schemes) that $\dim\mathcal{G}\leq\dim\mathcal{F}$?
No. $B\mathbb{G}_m\to\mathrm{pt}$ is surjective with source of dimension -1.
As commented below this is nonsense, since this is not representable.
Let me try to make amends for my flip response to the question. Of course what I am about to write could be equally stupid. However, $\phi$ surjective means that the induced map $\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G\to G$ is surjective, where $G\to \mathcal{G}$ is smooth surjective with $G$ a scheme. Suppose that the dimension of $G$ is $n$ and that of the scheme $\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G$ is $n+p$ where $p\geq 0$. Then the dimension of $\mathcal{G}$ is $n-q$ where $q$ is the relative dimension of the smooth surjective morphism $G\times_{\mathcal{G}}G\to G$. Now $\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G\to\mathcal{F}$ is smooth and surjective. Furthermore: $$(\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G)\times_\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G)\simeq (\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G)\times_G(G\times_\mathcal{G}G)$$ and hence is of relative dimension $q$ over $(\mathcal{F}\times_{\mathcal{G}}G)$. Therefore $$\mathrm{dim}(\mathcal{F})= n+p-q\geq n-q=\mathrm{dim}(\mathcal{G}).$$
This is not a complete answer, but should hopefully be a start. Given a point $x \in \mathcal{F}$, the dimension of $\mathcal{F}$ at $x$ is given by picking an atlas $X$ of $\mathcal{F}$, and then computing \begin{equation} dim_x(\mathcal{F}) = dim_x(X) - dim(Aut_{\mathcal{F}}(x)). \end{equation}
The dimension of $\mathcal{F}$ is then the supremum of its dimension at all its points. Given surjective, representable $\phi:\mathcal{F} \to \mathcal{G}$, we obtain a surjective map of atlases $X \to Y$. Therefore $dim_x(X) \geq dim_{\phi(x)}(Y)$ for all points $x$.
So, we're reduced to comparing $Aut_{\mathcal{F}}(x)$ to $Aut_{\mathcal{G}}(\phi(x))$. There is necessarily a surjection $Aut_{\mathcal{F}}(x) \to Aut_{\mathcal{G}}(\phi(x))$, so there is a question of how much larger the automorphisms of $x$ in $\mathcal{F}$ are compared to those of $\phi(x)$ in $\mathcal{G}$. That is, we would need to verify that \begin{equation} dim_x(X) - dim_{\phi(x)}(Y) \geq dim(Aut_{\mathcal{F}}(x)) - dim(Aut_{\mathcal{G}}(\phi(x))) \end{equation}
holds for all points $x$. I feel like this should be true just because my possibly faulty intuition says that the relative dimension of the automorphisms of a surjective, representable map won't exceed the relative dimension of the atlases. However, I don't see how to prove it right now.
Does anyone know how to prove this, or provide a counterexample?

Looking around the room at our annual Pentaho Sales Bootcamp last week, it was impressive to see the number of new faces that have joined the team since last year's event. We must be doing something right, as over the past few months, Pentaho has been a magnet for top players from all corners of the BI space. Last week was an excellent opportunity for our international Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to collaborate and work together to understand our customers' current needs, how Pentaho's solution can address them, and have a great time.
This year's Bootcamp consisted of three packed days of case studies, interactive discussions, presentations, happy hours, and even a boat ride around the beautiful (albeit windy) San Francisco Bay. Click here for an inside look at the Pentaho Sales Boot Camp.
Bootcamp may be over, but our team is not done growing yet! After officially outgrowing our current space, Pentaho San Francisco will be expanding into a brand new office this week, and we are actively hiring top-notch talent to join our Sales and Marketing teams in the Bay Area.
Aside from that, I am currently in Sweden preparing to open our new European headquarters in Stockholm, for which we are actively hiring as well. If you are interested in joining the Pentaho team at any of our locations worldwide, I encourage you to take a look at our current Career Opportunities.
With the momentum of three record quarters in a row, the most innovative product on the market, and the tremendous talent and enthusiasm of this team, I have no doubt that the second half of 2010 will be a rock solid milestone in Pentaho company history.

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2009. Scott
Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2009. Scott
Best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2009 for you too.
It is a very challenging pano with lots of things moving. What lens and camera do you use?
We listen. We try harder.
This was shot with:
Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L at 16mm
Nodal Ninja 5
Gitzo tripod
One of the biggest challenges was shooting in Times Square. Like most NYC public spaces, they chase you out when you're using a tripod. So you've got to move fast. The NN5 makes all the difference. It's quick to set up and stable in rushed rotations.
I'm also processing a pano from inside Grand Central Terminal now--shot from a somewhat sheltered location...
BTW, the new Canon 5DMkII is fantastic. Better low light performance than the 5D (which was excellent) with 21.1mp.
Regards, Scott
Maybe it is a good idea to get a shaved Tokina 10-17mm or the sigma 10mm fisheyes. You can do it in 3 shots. :-)
We listen. We try harder.
Nick, why do you recommend the Sigma 10mm over the 8mm?
a shaved 10mm fisheye will give you more resolution than 8mm while still giving you huge angle of view. 3 shots are enough. you can take 2 shots around to capture the moving objects with the camera is in landscape orientation. Then you can take a zenith shot for the building and sky which are not moving. A Tokina 10-17mm fisheye will be a good alternative. It is the cheapest. You can use longer FL to get higher resolution. It is very popular for FF DSLRs users. If you want to get a shaved one, I may help get one.
We listen. We try harder.
Nick: What do you think about the Canon 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye on the Canon 5D mark II?
Hey slerman,
Generally speaking the longer the focal length the better the output quality of the image. Some people are able to achieve high resolution panoramas with the 8mm however because of the slightly longer focal length of the 10mm this lens is able to achieve even higher output rez. The advantage of wider angle lens is that less shots are required so people moving in and out of the frame or trees moving in the wind are less challenging to correct in post production. Capturing the art work inside church for example you gain advantage of longer focal lengths in doing more shots.
Also if these panos are only for the web then the 8mm is a good choice (much fater workflows as well). If doing prints then a bit higher quality output would be desirable so the 10mm or even 15mm lens is better choice.
So the compromise is really dependent on needs.
Hope this helps
Nick, thanks for the lens information. I tried (and returned) the Sigma 8mm. I found it too soft and low res on a FF Canon 5D Mark II for my applications. I've settled on the Canon 15mm f2.8 fisheye for general work and the 16-35mm 2.8 for really high resolution panos (at 16 or 35mm). Both lenses provide fantastic results. The NN5 makes switching easy. Scott

What can you say about a function defined on a square region of the complex plane, if the integral of the function along any horizontal, vertical or diagonal of the square is equal ? - an analytic magic square.
magic square in the complex plane with equal integrals along every horizontal, vertical and diagonal
CORRECTION: many thanks to Joel David Hamkins and Willie Wong; yes, we should take $I_1 = I_2 = 0$ (now edited out and removed). For some reason "constant" and "zero" keep getting mixed up together in my head!!
You can get lots of examples satisfying the vertical and horizontal integral conditions by choosing $f(x,y) = g(x)h(y)$ where $\int_0^1 g(x) dx = \int_0^1 h(y) dy = 0$. The diagonal integrals being equal to $0$ gives you two equations relating $g,h$, but these still leave very many possibilities for $g,h$.
(Note: I wrote $I_1$, $I_2$ before, but I've removed these to make it clearer).
Finally, taking arbitrary finite linear combinations of such $f$ (and also infinite linear combinations, if you are careful with convergence) gives you yet more examples.
If you want to restrict $f$ to, say, analytic functions, then this won't work - but you didn't say this in your question! (Although I suppose maybe you meant this, since you do say "analytic" magic square!)
EDIT: I'm definitely not claiming that every continuous example $f$ can be obtained in this way!! I just want to show that there are many, many possibilities for $f$.
Since this is tagged complex analysis:
(1) Such a function does not exist if you assume it is complex analytic on its domain and the various integrals evaluate to non-zero values.
Proof: apply Cauchy's integral theorem to the following contour: starting from the origin, go horizontally to $(1,0)$, go up to $(1,1)$, and travel back down diagonally to $(0,0)$.
(2) An analytic function with your properties must also be periodic. That is: $f(0,y) = f(1,y)$ and $f(x,0) = f(x,1)$.
Proof: consider the contour from the origin to $(1,0)$ to $(1,y)$ to $(0,y)$ and back to the origin. This shows that $\int_0^y f(0,t) dt = \int_0^t f(1,t)dt$ for every $t$. Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.
From (2), apply Rademacher's characterisation of analytic functions (see Theorem 10 in this), you have that a periodic extension of $f$ is an analytic function on the complex plane, which immediately implies that $f\equiv 0$.
So, to summarize: if $f$ is a function with your properties, which in addition is analytic in $(0,1)\times(0,1)\subset\mathbb{C}$ and is continuous up to the boundary, then $f\equiv 0$.
Absolutely nothing beyond the definition. The complex plane is just R x R with some additional operations on it, which are irrelevant by your definition. The function doesn't have to be differentiable anywhere, continuous anywhere, or integrate to zero anywhere other than on the edges or on the main diagonals. Sorry. If you limited the question to say, meromorphic functions you might be able to get a better answer. In addition, you haven's specified directions, but i've taken it as implicit that you have.
If you have any open subset of C that crosses all 6 relevant integrals, and define an integrable function everywhere except that open region, you can always define the function on that subset such that the complete function satisfies the magic square condition.

I recently started using a live USB version of BackTrack 5 R1 (A kubuntu-based distro), but I can't find any way to enable access to my home WiFi network. I can't find any comprehensive tutorials on Google, and BackTrack's wiki on the subject is vague at best. How can I connect it to my home wireless?
migrated from security.stackexchange.com Jan 8 '12 at 23:34
This question came from our site for information security professionals.
Backtrack 5 R1 comes with wicd packaged. Wicd is a lightweight GUI network manager. I assume you know how to
Just launch
I've had this error as well, following the instructions on backtrack wiki you can solve the issue with the nektwork connection, the principal problem is the WICD that doesn't start and you cannot connect automaticaly.
And this whould do the trick, also I reccomend to you that visit and suscribe on the backtrack forum,the link for the answer and also the wiki
type the following in command prompt:
copy the name of wifi card: example wlan0
open wicd network manager--->preferences in the box "wireless interface", paste or type the name of your wifi card: example wlan0
click ok and you're good to go.

The worship of self. If you are a woman. Especially if you are a deadbeat weight to society. Everything is secondary to feminism, including family, god, morality, and reality.
Criticizing feminism are you? You just hate women. Now go buy me dinner.
автор: Equal rights activist 15 февраля 2008
An ideology defined by the following equation: F = (A + B) - C. Feminism equals Avarice plus Bigotry minus Conscience. Its most recent incarnation is characterized by supremacist whining, a form of double-think that would have made Orwell retch. Men are constantly reminded by feminists that women are taking the majority of jobs, starting more businesses than men, and generally acquiring more and more wealth at the expense of men. At the same time, feminists complain continuously about women's economic "oppression," (as though men have never been oppressed by impossible child support payments or unconscionable alimoney awards), the phoney "wage-gap" and the need for greater "equalization" (i.e. further plundering of men's earnings) in the economic sphere. Thus feminism gleefully predicts that men will become utterly disempowered while blithely demanding that they continue to subsidize the process. While perpetrating this nonsense, feminism still finds time to demand any prerogatives it deems fit to invent, squabble childishly about toilet seats AND AT THE SAME TIME complain about men's reluctance to commit to marriage (which, of course, is itself condemned as a misogynistic institution whenever it is expedient to do so). These are examples of the intellectual elasticity that allows feminism to present itself as correct on any issue, regardless of the facts or the eventual outcome. This, in turn, guides us to feminism's core philosophy: "Our say-so makes it so; if our pronouncements contradict each other, you males are required to believe both but only to the extent that they run counter to your interests and in favor of our convenience. This rule is absolute until it yields an outcome we don't like. Then we will pretend - and you are required to believe - that it never existed. Oh, and you are evil and sexist if you point to any flaw in this philosophy, even after we've abandoned or changed it. But you are a patronizing bastard if you fail to give our point-of-view your full critical consideration ... just as long as you don't disagree with it ... or agree with it for the wrong reasons ... and we will from time-to-time declare what the right and wrong reasons are ... and then change them to suit ourselves."
Feminism is nothing more than the politics of convenience.

a really bad idea. It was created as a way for women to be EQUAL to men but instead it was used as a means to create sexism against males. not very equal if u think about it
All those silly feminists do is bitch and moan! go live in the castro district with all the other freaks and practice your feminism.

Females who claim that anything sexist against women is harassment, meanwhile they can be sexist every moment of every day.
Feminist: "Men are lazy, useless, gross, sexist pigs."
Man: "Uhhh, isn't that a bit sexist?"
Feminist: "SEE? YOU SEXIST! Go dig yourself into a sexist cult of douchbaggery. RESPECT FEMINISM!"

That untenable ideology propogating the somewhat novel untruth that feminists are women.

I am wondering if someone could suggest the cheapest method of travelling from Venice Marco Polo Airport into Venice itself. I am staying quite close to St Marks Basilica, so any travel options which would put me in that general area would be appreciated.
Venice is an expensive and beautiful place to visit. While you can take a land bus from the airport to the train station end of Venice, I think that would be a false economy for your first visit. The alilaguna is 12 euros each way. Venice is a water city and approaching and leaving it by water, as though the train/bus bridge was never built, will put you in the mood for your visit and give you some beautiful views and photos.
You should definitely get a vap pass - you can buy them from the machine in the airport. That way, once all your stuff is in the hotel, you can hop on and off them to go up and down the grand canal, as well as around the outside. On the alilaguna, the driver stacks all the luggage in one pile and you get it when you get off the boat. On the vap, it's like a city bus or subway, you deal with your own luggage. You want to spend as little time on a vap with big bulky cases as possible.
It's about 5-10 minutes from the baggage claim to the alilagunas, and you might wait up to half an hour for your boat. You can take the orange (arancia) line to Rialto and then drag your luggage to the vap, or blue (blu) line all the way to San Marco, but a longer ride - though treat it as a sightseeing opportunity and that becomes a feature. The red (rossa) line used to go to San Marco but it seems on the web site that it now goes only to the Lido. It might depend on the time of year.
According to Venice airport and public transportation sites, you can take bus linea 5.
I don't know if some constraints apply on luggage.
Linea 5 leaves you at piazzale Roma near Santa Lucia train station. From there, take Vaporetto nr. 1 to piazza San Marco.
The ACTV public bus No. 5 (orange bus) from Marco Polo airport to Piazzale Roma and takes about 25 minutes and costs 5 EUR. The ATVO bus (blue color) costs the same and takes about 5 minutes less. I would then just take a 6.50 EUR vaporetto ride (no.1) to San Marco. It's cheaper and takes about the same time. The cheaper 1.30 EUR fare is only for residents with the IMOB pass. Alilaguna will get you to San Marco in about the same time but for 13 EUR one way. For a good guide book which gives you the local hangouts, pubs and best restaurants with true Venetian cuisines, check out my ebook: Venice for Rookies. That will make your decision making really easy.
It depends if you want to go to Venice - Santa Lucia or Venice - Mestre. There are buses to both train stations from the Marco polo airport.
There are 3 basic ways to get from Venice airport to venice.
I recommend Alilaguna boats because it is not expensive and you get the feeling of arriving in Venice by water ( remarkable view).
There is a very good explanation about transport from Venice airport here.

Early Music Now blends old sounds, new composition in engaging program
Premieres of most of the music appearing on early-music concerts happened at least 250 years ago.
Except for Early Music Now's presentation of the Montreal-based group Masques at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Saturday.
In addition to the Baroque-era French music, played on period instruments as one might expect, Masques included the U.S. premiere of "Archipielago," by Canadian composer Michael Oesterle, to shake things up a bit. »Read Full Article

Jury chosen for inquest into death of Derek Williams
A public inquest into the death of Derek Williams, who died as he struggled to breathe in the back of a Milwaukee police squad car, began Monday with new medical details about his death and a viewing of part of the video showing him before he died.
The hearing, which is more like a public investigation than a trial, will result in an advisory verdict intended to guide special prosecutor John Franke as he considers whether to issue criminal charges. Unlike in a trial, Franke said, he is not prosecuting a position but rather providing a jury with an accounting of what happened so they can reach their own conclusion. He said one of the key questions he hopes the testimony will address is what might have happened if medical help was summoned earlier by Milwaukee police officers.
"Would it have made a difference?" Franke said. »Read Full Article

Madison - The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin sued Gov. Scott Walker's administration in federal court Monday to stop arrests of the daily protest singers in the state Capitol.

Wausau Paper posts smaller 4Q loss after closing Brokaw mill
In good times and bad, Wisconsin's paper industry kept a conveniently low profile and quiet presence, despite its oversize role in the state economy.
That sense of relative anonymity abruptly has changed, as money-losing Wausau Paper Corp. showed on Monday. Wausau issued its fourth-quarter report, which showed that it narrowed its losses, but Wall Street analysts showed little interest in the numbers. Instead, they were riveted on the hostile efforts to break up one of the state's oldest papermaking companies.
"The current Board has been unwilling to explore value maximizing alternatives for the company and has instead only been interested in maintaining the status quo," according to the latest statement released Monday by Starboard Value LLC, a vocal and aggressive Manhattan hedge fund that is leading the efforts to radically restructure Wausau. »Read Full Article(1)

Rexnord strategic review on table
Less than a year after going public, Rexnord Corp.'s board of directors has hired Goldman Sachs and Co. to begin exploring the future, including a possible sale of the company.
Alternatives could also include the sale of one of Rexnord's two main businesses, or doing nothing, the West Milwaukee company said in a news release.
Rexnord, which also owns Falk Corp., reported good earnings and forecast improved results going forward. The company's optimism seemed at odds with the announcement that the board was looking into the sale of part or all of the company, Charles Brady, a senior analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said during a conference call with management late Monday afternoon. »Read Full Article(9)

Local clerics respect Benedict's resignation
Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki on Monday said he saw Pope Benedict XVI in February of last year and then again in November, and he noticed a drop in the pontiff's vigor.
"In February, when the bishops of Wisconsin met in Rome with him, he seemed to be more energetic," Listecki observed just hours after the pope's surprise announcement that he will resign the papacy Feb. 28.
"At Thanksgiving, when I was in Rome for Cardinal James Harvey's elevation, you could see his energy lagged. He was using a platform in St. Peter's to be brought up the main aisle, instead of processing up the aisle," he said. »Read Full Article(14)

Bill may raise OWI penalty
Madison - The state would get tougher on deadly drunken driving by making the third offense a felony, under legislation introduced by Republican lawmakers Monday.
Wisconsin has long been among the worst states in the nation for drunken driving and binge drinking, but its laws to prevent the deadly practice have been among the nation's weakest. As the Journal Sentinel and other outlets have reported, the state is also the only one in the country in which certain first-offense drunken driving charges are not a crime but a municipal violation.
Some of the measures put forward Monday failed to pass in the previous legislative session, stymied by increased prison costs and the opposition of interest groups. The continued challenges facing the effort were clear Monday, with Gov. Scott Walker and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) endorsing the principle of a crackdown on intoxicated driving but stopping short of backing the specific measures. »Read Full Article(115)

Power restored to area affected by downtown Milwaukee blast
Power has been restored to most of the estimated 600 customers who lost power Sunday night after a fault in an underground cable caused a fire and the explosion of a manhole cover downtown in an area between Milwaukee and Jefferson streets, Brian Manthey, a spokesman for We Energies, said Monday.
However, there are still some power problems in the Cass St. area where a fuse from an underground connector broke, causing the loss of power to some of the 130 customers on that line, he said.
It's believed that failure is tied to the Sunday night power loss, he said. Power was expected to be restored to that area by around 3 p.m., he said. »Read Full Article(9)
Conflict of interest rules vary among state Medicaid drug programs
Committees that select drugs for state Medicaid programs are governed by widely varying conflict of interest policies that often lacked enforcement and weren't always available for public scrutiny, according to a new study.

Over the last several years, the field of medicine has been under intense scrutiny because of a variety of questionable financial relationships between doctors and drug and medical device companies. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Victim group says new pope must protect children from abuse
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, a Chicago-based nonprofit that has helped victims in Milwaukee, said Monday that the Catholic Church must elect a new pope that protects children from clergy sexual abuse after Pope Benedict XVI resigns.
"For the Church to truly embody the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ, it must be led by a pontiff who demands transparency, exposes child-molesting clerics, punishes wrongdoers and enablers, cooperates with law enforcement, and makes true amends to those who were hurt so greatly by Catholic priests, employees and volunteers," said Barbara Blaine, president of SNAP, in a release.
Blaine said that the era of secrecy and coverups must end, and that victims of sexual abuse want to ensure that other children never experience what they did. »Read Full Article(2)

Range hacks?
I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be using range hacks in DM and TDM lately, even in ranked matches. I can be walking towards them with my sights centred on their head and bang, they kill me with one or two shots before I've inflicted any damage on them. They might have increased the power of their weapons as well as using range hack. It always makes me suspicious when they insist on using only one type of gun, usually smg or assault.
How do they do this? I know it involves altering data in the 'weaponinfo.xml', but don't know how. Also, how do they get it to work in multiplayer?
I think it might be a case of, if you can't beat them join them. I don't want anything too drastic, just a little added range to give me a fighting chance. Please bare in mind, I have got no idea how to apply or use mods.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Tuesday's letters: Who cares about Kerry?
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 5:02 p.m.
Letter writer Rick Campbell, who cares about John Kerry's military service? He talked about it enough when he was making his failed attempt at becoming president. Most combat veterans don't talk about it, but maybe he was less frightened than the rest of us. He talked so much about it that I felt like I had ridden in the boat with him. I was actually 300 miles north in the DMZ with a bunch of other Marines.
I'm not going to dispute another man's service record. If you go to the Internet and query "John Kerry/military service," you will get a mixed bag of opinions about his service.
What I do take issue with is your making veiled accusations about other readers' truthfulness and the Herald-Journal knowingly printing an untruth. I know firsthand that it tries not to print factually inaccurate information in letters.
Mr. Campbell, I've suggested to you before that if you don't like what is written in the Herald-Journal, don't read it — or at least stay out of the Opinion section. You are still having your struggles with that pesky First Amendment.

Safe Streets Save Lives
Running errands. Getting to school. Heading to work. Meeting a friend for lunch. We rarely think about the many ways we get from here to there as we live our lives. Most of us hop in a car, yet others walk and bike. No matter how or where we go, we want to get there safely.
Safe Streets Save Lives, a collaboration between the Palmetto Cycling Coalition, BikeLaw.com and the S.C. Department of Public Safety, is about getting to your destination safely, whether in a car or on a bike. The campaign focuses on educating South Carolinians about our state's laws and safe habits. After all, South Carolina has progressive bicycle safety laws, yet our state reports the second highest number of bicycle-related fatalities per capita in the nation. Bicyclists are in need of better facilities and increased education about their rights and responsibilities.
South Carolinians are waking up to higher gas prices, growth in our cities and the need to exercise daily. Bicycling makes us healthier, cuts transportation costs and is considered a viable means of travel for a growing number of people. The share of commuters who bike has doubled in the past 10 years. By building streets that invite bicyclists to travel safely, including developing bike lanes and more off-road paths, we can keep this growing population safe.
A bicycle is a vehicle just like a car, bus, moped or truck and has a right to shared use of the roads. If you encounter a bicyclist while driving, pass only when you can do so at a safe, legal distance from the bicyclist.
When we all share the road by following our state's laws, our roadways will be much safer for all users. Let's get there together.
Amy Johnson
Executive director, Palmetto Cycling Coalition

Enjoy Those Upsets While You Can
The little-loved Bowl Championship Series will cease to be after January 2014, and will be mourned about as long as a rat caught in a basement trap. The four-team playoff that will supplant the convoluted system of selecting two teams for college football's championship game was hailed as a breakthrough. The playoff was celebrated as the sport finally coming to its senses and joining the rest of the bracket-loving world.
But Saturday night showed what we could lose in the movement toward a supposedly tidier, more inclusive system: goofy, gorgeous, sudden-death mayhem that could arrive unscheduled on any late-fall weekend.
The top two BCS-ranked teams—Kansas State and Oregon—fell, shockingly, on the same night for the first time since 2007. Kansas State, which had dispatched all comers with ease, could not beat a 4-5 Baylor team with the worst-ranked defense in football's top division. The Bears harassed erstwhile Heisman Trophy candidate Collin Klein into three interceptions while large men named Glasco and Lache ran over the Wildcats for nearly 300 yards en route to a 52-24 victory. Kansas State's one and only reign as the No. 1-ranked BCS team lasted a week.
Minutes later, the hopes of Oregon's pyrotechnic offense died at the simplest of plays: a 41-yard Alejandro Maldonado field goal that bonked the left upright like a bird into a glass door. Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson made his 37-yard kick, and the Ducks' bid for their first national title ka-thunked to the side of the road in a 17-14 loss to the Cardinal.
The back-to-back roundhouse punches were jaw-dropping, the kind of blue-moon-eclipse results you refresh your cellphone to confirm. Was it possible to top the previous week's stunner, No. 1 Alabama's loss to Texas A&M? Does the pope root for Notre Dame?
Baylor fans spilled onto the field at the final whistle, and shirtless fans with the painted letters of their alma mater on their chests bobbed through the crowd like human alphabet soup. Normally pulsating Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., was stunned silent, the Ducks' nation-leading 13-game winning streak leveled.
Neither fan base's reaction would have been as spectacular had this season been heading toward a four-team playoff, which will launch as planned after the 2014 season. Their teams would no longer be playing for their football lives.
Fans generally hate the BCS for its confusing capriciousness, and that's fair. Its computer rankings are opaque and its coaches' poll political at best and conference-backing gerrymandering at worst. A more transparent selection method would improve the system. But the concept of elevating only two teams from more than 100, after a 12- or 13-game season, is pure, torturous genius. The essence of that idea will die along with the BCS.
Right now, this is a sport where one loss—especially late in the season—can drive a stake through a team's chances. It demands the kind of sustained success shown by Notre Dame, which is 11-0 for the first time since 1989 and gunning for its first national title since 1988. Or by Alabama, a team that navigates through Southeastern Conference quicksand every week and so far has lost only to Texas A&M, which is led by a baby-faced man who could be the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, quarterback Johnny Manziel.
No sport requires as much of its teams to prove their worthiness for a title shot. Major-college football has no play-in games, no wild cards, no automatic-qualifying tournaments. There is only a relentless, season-long mud march.
Had this season been a prelude to a playoff, there would have been more wiggle room. Oregon could plot to revive its season with victories at ranked rival Oregon State and in the Pacific-12 championship game. That safety net would have taken some of the edge off the piano-wire-tense game against Stanford.
In a future playoff incarnation—and, yes, already there is chatter about expanding it to eight teams—even Kansas State could beat a ranked Texas team on Dec. 1 and lobby the playoff selection committee that it deserves to make the postseason, that the Baylor debacle was a fluke. Nationwide, the arguments for teams to be able to "prove it on the field" will annoyingly multiply.
As things stand now, there is little room for error. Although it's possible for Kansas State and Oregon to get back in it, with two games left in the regular season it's increasingly unlikely. Notre Dame and Alabama are Nos. 1 and 2 in the BCS projections by CBS Sports analyst Jerry Palm. Georgia and Florida are Nos. 3 and 4, each having lost only one game, to a top-15-ranked team. Two weeks remain in the regular season, with rivalry and conference championship games looming. The Irish must travel to Los Angeles to face reeling, cranky USC, the preseason No. 1 laid low after a loss to UCLA. Alabama must host reeling, angry Auburn, then face Georgia in the SEC championship. Florida plays hungry Florida State, whose only hiccup was a one-point loss at North Carolina State.
It's a final slog to cap an already brutal season, and survival of it is required to reach college football's pinnacle. It's exhausting, it's draining, it's beautiful and it's almost gone. Saturday night's upsets? Call them the BCS's Irish wake.

Don't ask "Why?" Think outside the box and ask "Why not?"
Don't ask "Why?" Think outside the box and ask "Why not?"
The first thing that comes to my mind as it flops around on the floor is that configuration is probably the most precise configuration possible for a multi-row pano. It would be interesting to shoot a hundred panos in different locations and see how well a template could be applied.
The modular system is a fun to play with. :-)
The system is still expanding in 2012.
We listen. We try harder.
Even now it's fun to play with. Specially with the new Fanotec Camera Plates with Automatic Align System. You hear it click in position, close the clamp and it is precisely centered in the clamp vertically. I love this "CLICK" and won't miss it in the future.
Just dreaming of the rail clicks. I am just busy for it with the new camera plates for Nikonians. Would be nice to find some Canon friends to share their data with us as well.

To be totally honest, I would not use this combination. The upper rotator cannot hold the camera in it's stock configuration. I had to take the extra plunger and put it in the 30 degree hole. The original plunger is in the 90 degree hole. This gives me two plungers holding the camera at 90 degrees. It works ok, but not good enough for everyday use. This is more of a proof of concept rather than an actual real life application. If I were to do this right, I would use another RD4 rotator as the upper rotator and modify it so I would have 4 plungers at 90 degrees instead of 1. That would hold the camera and do away with adjusting a knob when I wanted to rotate the camera. Just like the lower rotator, you grab the camera and rotate it. Nothing to release or turn. One more thing, you can slide the upper rotator up and down along the vertical rail. What is the advantage? None that I can think of.
This pano head is rather fun to play with.
The issue is not with the plunger rotating, it is that the rotator was not designed to be "rotated" into this position. I suppose you could tighten the locking knob every time, but then you are back to turning a knob in order to make a rotational adjustment. I want to be able to just grab the camera, rotate it, and shoot. I just tried it with a plunger in the 90, 30 and 15 holes. The camera does not slip out of position when gripped by 3 plungers. Reversing the rotator would not gain anything other than the knobs being stationary vs rotating with the camera.

To the editor:
I am not sure many Jefferson County parents will recall from several years ago an absolutely free seminar offered in the Ohio Valley at what was once called Jefferson Community College entitled "Help, my teen is dating" with Mike Domitrz.
As I recall, very few parents from the valley were in attendance that evening. However, myself, my husband and a single mother and her son and several staff from Jefferson Behavioral Health System were fortunate to attend this event. Being a parent of four children, three of whom are now teenagers, we knew that this could benefit our family. We were very fortunate to meet Domitrz, hear his own personal, tragic story and purchase his educational materials.
I do know as a busy parent sometimes we are overcome with taxiing our children, sitting in gymnasiums and fields until late in the evenings, up early in the mornings, off to work and then begin again. We can sometimes miss such golden opportunities right in our own community to become more aware.
I would like to take this time to share some vital information, that we were lucky to receive, with families so they may find assistance if needed during these difficult times.
For schools and universities, there's help with addressing consent, bystander intervention, healthy dating, sexual assault and supporting survivors. For parents like us, it offers tools to "discover how you may give your teenagers the right tools and skills for making the best choices regarding dating, intimacy, alcohol and helping their friends."
It appears right now that parents in our community may benefit from better awareness. Contact the Date Safe Project -- Real Solutions to Tough Conversations by going to the web at www.datesafeproject.org or by calling toll-free (800) 329-9390. You will be a better parent because you did. Help protect our children now; its our responsibility as their parents.
We are concerned for our children.

Handling Paging when all the data has been retrieved from the server-EXTJS 3.4
I have a problem and I'm trying to figure out how to solve it. I have multiple grids and I have a find panel which actually controls how many records have to be fetched from the server. How can I using paging with the above mechanism to display data in pages ?
- Harjit
3 Nov 2012 2:39 AM #2
Would you be able to clarify how this "find" panel works in conjunction with the grids? Is it simply a panel where you set the number of records to be returned when creating a new grid?
i.e. A user might select what type of search they're performing (which decides which grid to create), the number of records they want to see per page, then clicks "search"?
5 Nov 2012 5:56 AM #3
The find panel has an text box which controls the number of results to be fetched for the request. The grids are always the same, each grid has it own store and url from where it fetches the data. Hope this makes sense
