" Teach the kids to slide into home plate and she'd be safe by a foot, no argument. "

" How can you say she is out, you dont even have the right player. That's not Geffert. There were other controversial calls at the game. Seymour had those same umpires when they played Torrington and the ball/strike zone was also biased "
Ed.W. wrote on May 24, 2013 11:39 PM:
" First play of game was wrong. Play at home saw catcher never touch runner (Not Geffert)! Barely held ball against her chest let alone tag. Srike zone in favor of THS lefty. Neutral field deserves neutral umpires. Not those picked by top-seeded team regardless of team. "

" the runner should have been ejected for running into the catcher. "
Torrington Parent wrote on May 26, 2013 11:49 PM:
" If you really watch close the catcher had to adjust to a throw home to try to make a play. The catcher doesn't have to get out of the way when a ball is on the way. The runners left leg makes contact with the catchers right hand as she's adjusting the ball to her glove. The runner could of been called out for contact with the catcher and interference. As for the umpires, the strike zone was equal on both side cause we didn't like some calls either but every ump is different and you have to adjust. But I know the ump behind the plate and is one of the most honest people and is straight forward and in no way would favor Torrington... REALLY!!!! Lets just move on... TIME FOR STATES>>>>GREAT GAME "

Here are some news on what is happening with Kdenlive's video editor. Last year, we launched a successful IndieGoGo campaign to sponsor Till Theato's work on Kdenlive.
I have finally found time to start merging his great work so that we can clean up Kdenlive and move towards the future.
I will merge my work in the next days in Kdenlive's git master. This means that the master branch will become unusable for editing for a few months until we stabilize everything. So everyone using Kdenlive from git will need to switch to the v0.9 branch if they want to be able to do editing.
This work will bring in some exciting changes, like performance improvements and usability enhancements.
Since we will also improve the integration of the MLT framework in the process, we will also benefit from exciting new features like the high quality accelerated movit filters, and the new spline based animation feature.
I will try to post updates on a regular basis, so that people can also join the development.

Shift into gear
Application ID: 16051
This model demonstrates the ability to simulate Multibody Dynamics in COMSOL. It comprises a multilink mechanism that is used in an antique automobile as a gearshift lever. It was created out of curiosity to find out how large forces are on the individual components. The model uses flexible parts, i.e. the Structural Mechanics Module was used along with the Multibody Dynamics Module.

Yesterday I was working on a project and thought I was within that specific site when I wanted to delete it, but accidently deleted the main site of the Farm. Today I went into SPD and found that there are sub sites of the main site that are still available. Couldn't I just re-create the main site and have the sub sites pointing to the main site? There are no backups. :( BUT I did go through the database yesterday and noticed all of the lists, pages, etc. still reside there! Is this possible or is it more complicated than this?
Sounds like you deleted the top-level site collection in your web application. I believe if you delete the top-level site of a site collection, SharePoint automatically deletes the Site Collection. No - without a backup, there is now way to recover site or site collection deletions without a backup of your SQL database OR a backup of the specific site collection.

Seeing the devastating effects of an April fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, Leavenworth County officials are now working to mitigate the potentially tragic effects should a similar incident occur here.
Chuck Magaha, director of county emergency management, said Thursday that he watched the tragedy unfold in the small town of West, Texas, where first a fire and then an explosion at a fertilizer plant is being cited as the cause for at least 15 deaths, about 200 injuries and leveled buildings within about several blocks on April 17.
"I'm trying to be proactive and not reactive on that event and learn from it," he said, in preventing similar numbers of casualties here.
Magaha said he began working with the director of the county's geographic information systems department, Jeff Culbertson, on locating and mapping fertilizer spots throughout the county.
Magaha said staff identified five fertilizer-storing facilities in the county. Using that data, he said he is currently developing procedures tailor-made for those types of incidents at each location. It would make the disaster mitigation process easier.
"In the event that that should catch fire, or we should have an incident, we'll have a quarter-mile or half-mile, up to one-mile ring around that color coding and a list of all the addresses and buildings that are within that, that we can make sure we have everything covered as far as the evacuation process," he said.
Magaha said he had hoped that inventory to be done this week, but suspects instead that it will be complete by the end of next week.

I've been told that in countries like Israel the truth of the matter is that the only available work for B.Sc./M.Sc. in physics/math is only to be high school teacher. To do serious stuff you need to be Ph.D.
closed as too broad by JamalS, Kyle Kanos, Danu, DavePhD, Kyle Oman May 19 '14 at 15:54
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Opinion based on my own experience in central Europe: In order to do research as a physicist (there are jobs, but few), you need a PhD. As a physics master, you'll get hired as a engineer (for software, electronics or similar topics). The same is true if all you got is a bachelor, but you'll have a harder job to convince people to hire you, the master is the norm.
In Germany you'll need a specialized education to get a job as a highschool teacher, so in general you won't be hired as one if all you have is a master in physics, except in very exceptional cases.
What you've heard is totally incorrect, regarding Israel at least.
There are more job openings in Israel for physicists than there are physicists (and that is saying something!)
There is a very high concentration of high-tech companies (notably; Rafael, IAI, Elibt and many others) that rely heavily on the expertise of physicists, among others. And thanks (or no thanks) to the growing threats by terrorist groups and rogue states, these scientists are kept very busy. See Iron Dome for example.
I have a M.Sc in mathematics, and I work as an analyst in a company in the field of signal processing, interpolation of measured data, data visualisation, robotics and control engineering. I also do some programming (e.g. C, C++, C#, Matlab) as well as some physical analysis such as applied mechanics and optics.

Sara Pelegreen began playing softball at the ripe old age of 3 and has been pitching since she was 10.
She's beginning to realize that sometime between Saturday and May 27, her playing career is going to end.
"I have mixed emotions about it," Pelegreen confessed during a phone interview earlier this week. "I've spent so much of my life playing this game and it's really hit me hard, but I don't know if physically I could play another year, so it's really a bittersweet kind of thing."
Article Photos
AND THE PITCH — West Virginia State University and Harrison?Cenral graduate Sara Pelegreen will end her softball career this month in the NCAA?Division II tournament.
-- Contributed
The former Harrison Central all-stater, however, isn't one to dwell on the bitter part of it because she certainly loves and has a great passion for the sport.
For the second straight season, Pelegreen's collegiate season has been extended. West Virginia State, by virtue of winning the final West Virginia Conference tournament last weekend in Vienna, earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II National Tournament.
"(Winning the conference title) was amazing," Pelegreen said. "I've not had a better feeling in my entire life. To go out with a bang during your senior year is great. I am just glad we got it done."
West Virginia State won the first three games of the tournament with relative ease, which put the ball in Pelegreen's hand for the championship game against Fairmont State.
However, Fairmont State posted a 4-1 victory to force a decisive elimination game. The Yellow Jackets recorded a 3-1 victory, setting off a massive celebration.
"It didn't even hit me right away," Pelegreen said. "We just ran out on the field and did a dogpile. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't even explain it because it just hadn't registered in my head what we'd accomplished. I still don't know how to explain it."
The excitement of winning didn't end with Sara. Her brother, Nick, and the Harrison Central Huskies' baseball team claimed the OVAC 4A crown the same afternoon.
"I didn't get a chance to talk to him much, but we texted each other," Sara said. "He texted me before the game and said, 'let's bring home the trophies.' I got it after my game and sent back, 'it looks like we did, brother!"
The reward for the 41-12 Yellow Jackets is a trip to more than five-hour trip to Shippensburg for the Atlantic Regional. West Virginia State, the third seed in the region, will open the tournament at noon on Friday against sixth-seeded Kutztown (29-21).
"We played Kutztown three times last year and didn't fare very well, so we really want to get some revenge on them," Pelegreen said. "We're in a pretty good bracket. Obviously, all of the teams are good, but we want to go up there and prove that we can play with the PSAC teams because it's known to be a good conference and sometimes our conference doesn't get as much respect against them."
Getting back into the tournament this season seems much sweeter for Pelegreen because there was no wait-and-see moment because of the automatic bid.
"I didn't even want to make the regional if we didn't win the conference," Pelegreen said. "Heck with the regionals, I wanted to win the conference first. Now, we can worry about the regional."
Pelegreen, who was named the WVIAC All-Tournament team, expects to get the ball for the first game of the day on Saturday because that's the rotation W.Va. State has utilized the entire season.
The second-team all-WVIAC selection is 13-3 on the season with a 1.94 earned run average. She's worked 108 innings, fanned 92 and allowed just 30 earned runs. She owns 11 complete games and three shutouts.
The Yellow Jackets enter the national tournament red hot. They've won 18 of their last 19 games. A stretch early in the season when the Jackets went south and struggled is when Pelegreen believes it just clicked for the team.
"We talked to each other, tried to figure out what was going on and what we needed to do to get better," Pelegreen said.
"We knew we were a better team than what we'd been showing. I think our ability to overcome those obstacles, in the middle of the season, is what made this team special."
Pelegreen wrapped up finals earlier this week and is set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in communications.
However, she'll be missing her commencement ceremony because of the NCAA tournament.
"I don't mind at all," Pelegreen said. "As long as softball can keep going a little bit longer, I'll be happy."
While she's finished with her undergraduate work, Pelegreen will still be in school in the fall. She's been accepted to Point Park University and will begin work toward a master's degree in mass communications and journalism.

To the editor:
In 2008, change was the buzzword, but the change we got from our current president and staff is a disaster. We are going in the wrong direction. The economy, unemployment and the national debt of $16 trillion and counting is not acceptable.
Our freedoms that our forefathers achieved are being eroded.
Our faith and values are endangered, especially the freedom of religion. That being said, and with the presidential and congressional elections nearing,we should not make choices based on party affiliation only, but what is right for the country and the common good.
According to the United States Council of Catholic Bishops, faithful voting in an election is to use your properly informed conscience, which is based on faith, truth and morality revealed by God, rather than an uninformed do-as-I-feel conscience when voting. There are intrinsic evils such as abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and others, which can never be justified. Keep in mind that abortion is the killing of a baby who is a person with a soul at conception, which is a fact. This new person is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as spelled out in our Declaration of Independence.
We need to get back to the culture of life, not death. Voting for a candidate who supports these evils is a serious sin.
It would be prudent to determine how the candidates stand on these issues. After the debates and the ads, it is clear to me that the president and vice president are pro-choice by their own admission, and their challengers are pro-life.
All people of faith, Catholics and Christians of all denominations, should listen to God speaking to their hearts through an informed conscience and vote for the candidates who support Christian values.
Make your choice with prayerful discernment, respecting life from conception to natural death. Vote to please God and ask him to bless our nation in these troubled times.

Last night, during the Mad Men season premiere, New York magazine published the definitive account of internet animal-photography-distribution platform Buzzfeed. Here are some of the coolest things we learned about Jonah Peretti's awesome advertorial platform:
1. "The rush of creating something viral was vertiginous, intoxicating."
2. "Like a joyful scourge, Peretti is simultaneously fanning the flames that are disrupting the old media business model and promising that he has constructed a new, lucrative one."
3. "Thin and angular as a whippet, Peretti was dressed in a Power Nerd ensemble: collared shirt, beige sweater, square glasses."
4. "[Peretti], by contrast, doesn't care whether a post is produced by a journalist or sponsored by a brand, so long as it travels. He's a semiotic Darwinist: He believes in messages that reproduce."
5. "…Peretti had a genius for propagation."
6. "Memes are easy to make, but virality depends on novelty, cleverness, and luck, all of which thwarts the duplicative craft of advertising."
7. "Watt's calculus looks like this: n = pN (1+ R+ R2+ R3 +K) = pN/(1– R)."
8. "Social networks, with their unforgiving chorus of voices, can be dangerous places for brands-as Peretti knows from experience, viral stunts can backfire."
9. "Peretti usually presents a cheerful exterior, but that kind of talk inflames his ego. 'Could you make a list of cute animals that gets 5 million views?' he snapped when I mentioned Graf's comment that night at the bar. 'It's actually really hard.'"
10. "Peretti complains about 'obstructionist agencies,' and when he looks at advertising-with its four dominant holding companies, rococo bureaucracies, and reliance on a lucrative television medium now threatened by ad-skipping technologies-he sees an industry ripe for disruption."

Suzanne A. Kim, Associate Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, has been selected a winner of this year's Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Women in Legal Education Section scholarly paper competition. The competition seeks to recognize papers from junior scholars representing "New Voices in Gender Studies." A rising scholar on the intersection of gender, critical theory, and family law, Kim will present "Toward Skeptical Marriage Equality" on January 8, 2011 at the AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
In her article, whose publication is forthcoming in the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender, Professor Kim argues that marriage equality for same-sex couples can be important for facilitating more support for a variety of family forms beyond marital ones and can help constitute marriage in more egalitarian terms.
Professor Kim joined the Rutgers faculty in 2006. Prior to that, she was a lecturer-in-law at Stanford Law School. From 2007 to 2009 she served as an appointed member of the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Minority Concerns.
Professor Kim earned a B.A. with distinction from Yale and a J.D., cum laude, from Georgetown University Law Center, where she served as senior articles editor and member of the executive board of the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law. After law school, she practiced law as a litigation associate with Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in New York and received the firm's Pro Bono Service Award. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. | Read Story

18.104.22.168 Undos
Hi, My name is Marlon Boothe. I recently found out about your community. I'm excited about joining you guys. I'm currently looking for sponsors. I tried joining the irc chanel but something went wrong at the end of the set up. Please help. Thanks.
Sorry about the heavy undo action here https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Noisebridge&diff=next&oldid=35239. Here's a rationale for my edits:
Noisebridge has now been designated as'...
Isn't that just a long winded version of "is"?
new visitors are just as welcome as always
If they are new, then they wouldn't have any reason to wonder why this statement might exist.
OTOH, gadlen, the most recent language using the terms "always welcome" is clearly more inviting and less cold to New Visitors. Although you yourself might disagree with this emphasis on attracting New Visitors to the Space, you might still want to more carefully review some of the Regular Members' proposals of this "more welcoming" matter on recent Discussion-list postings as well as in the last Meeting's minutes.
consider reading up on
No, it's important they read up on it.
OTOH, gadlen, the most recent language using the term "review"' succinctly hints at less in-depth "reading" of the required access methods; a definite +plus+ to many more of we excellent time-constrained folks.
Why indeed is it so "important" that New Visitors undergo the ordeal of being required to slog through something that even remotely approaches an undergraduate essay to find out what they really need to know??!!
but it's best to visit when Full or Associate Members are present
A new visitor doesn't care about the difference between full and associate members or that there is a difference. And saying it your way implies there is another, unstated type of member, which there isn't.
--gadlen (talk) 08:39, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- Dearest 188.8.131.52, those are excellent edits, thanks! I'm glad we got to bounce them back and forth a bit.
- PS. A popular way to show discussion threading in Mediawiki is to add a ":" to the beginning of each line. That indents your text. Then the next response gets a "::", etc... It's not perfect, but that's what Wikipedia uses. Keep rocking. --gadlen (talk) 19:11, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- gadlen, It does seem from the Community Standards history tab, that User:Flamsmark just went ahead and unilaterally shut out 18.104.22.168x for her/his/their editing there. So while it is certainly Excellent to be able to actively participate in the Wiki editing process just like you and 126.96.36.199x here, there are doubts whether User:Flamsmark himself will likewise participate par excellence.
## Note from some of the recent Discussion-list postings by date that User:Flamsmark is likely taking the "Nuclear Option" in locking-out Wiki editing. Indeed, readers of this (including you gadlen) shouldn't ignore the recent Revision history tabs of both the Main Noisebridge Wiki and the Community_Standards wiki pages. And closely watch the Events Revision history tab to see when User:Flamsmark will "protect" that page too.
As House TV series' Lisa Cuddy says to the Hospital Board when they vote to kick her out in the Babies & Bathwater episode, "this may be the last decision you may ever have as Board Members".
Be forewarned, gadlen, you and other Wiki editors are definitely next!

Required Slogging
(184.108.40.206, I moved your comment to a new section so it's more easily viewable. My response follows)
188.8.131.52 writes: Why indeed is it so "important" that New Visitors undergo the ordeal of being required to slog through something that even remotely approaches an undergraduate essay to find out what they really need to know??!!
- That is an excellent question! The gist is that it's really good for visitors to know that they will have a better experience (not get kicked out etc..) if they have a sponsor when they are in the space. This is because of the new "members and their guests only policy". So I'm guessing that the instructions to new visitors should try to strike a balance between "Visitors Welcome!" and "Here's exactly how to be an approved guest!" and "Look how easy it is to be an approved guest!" or something like that. And that is what is being worked on now... and you are participating in that very process! --gadlen (talk) 19:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I am looking for some help with an arduino project. My mail is firstname.lastname@example.com

Aug. 19, 2014-- A drug used to treat a rare bone marrow cancer caused hair to grow back in some people with alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that attacks the hair follicles, scientists have found.
A small study shows that the drug, ruxolitinib, was effective in mice and in three people with the disease. Alopecia areata is thought to affect between 4 million and 5 million Americans, can strike at any age, and affects men and women equally. They are generally otherwise healthy. But they lose patches of hair and, in rare cases, all of their body hair.
This is the second report this summer about a drug causing hair to regrow in someone with alopecia. In June, the Journal of Investigative Dermatology published a report online from Yale University researchers regarding a man with almost no hair on his body. He grew a full head of hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes, after taking the drug tofacitinib for 8 months. Tofacitinib was approved in 2012 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and belongs to the same class of drugs as ruxolitinib.
The two scientists who led the new study are Raphael Clynes, MD, PhD, who recently left Columbia University Medical Center to work for Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Angela Christiano, PhD, a professor in the departments of dermatology and of genetics and development at Columbia. Here, they discuss their research, which appears online in Nature Medicine.
Q. Why would you think to use a cancer drug to treat alopecia?
A. Christiano's past research suggested that in people with alopecia, hair follicles send out a false "danger signal" that triggers the immune system to attack them. Further research, which she and Clynes describe in their new report, identifies one way to stop the attack: a new class of drugs known as JAK inhibitors. Ruxolitinib, approved in 2011 to treat the bone marrow cancer myelofibrosis, is one such drug, along with tofacitinib, which Christiano and Clynes found to be effective in treating mice with alopecia.
Q. How many people with alopecia have been treated with ruxolitinib?

So did a tour of Odells with a buddy and his son. During the tour his son asked, "Do you ever mix all the beers into one?" The guide said, "Like a suicide beer? Yes, we've been know to experiment. The best is an IPA and Easy Street Wheat; we call it an Easy Elephant." At the taphouse he gave us a sample.. and it was incredible! Had a sweet and malty start and a grapefruit-like and crisp finish. Now I'm on a quest to make it myself. I could make two batches and then mix them... OR I could experiment. If you were to try to make an Easy Elephant, what would you include?
I'd make a standard Hefe grain bill (half wheat, half 2-row), add in .5lb of medium crystal, and hop it exactly like an IPA. The yeast is up to you. Do you want some hefe yeast flavor in it? Perhaps use the American Wheat yeasts like WLP320, or wb-06 dry. Or just use a standard neutral ale yeast like 1056/001/us-05. Or someing with a little character like wlp028 Kolsch, or wlp029 Scottish. Hmmm the 029 Scottish is jumping out at me for some reason. It should accent that wheaty maltiness nicely and still provide punch to the hops.
For the hops, use whatever kind you like. I prefer EKG, Challenger, Palisades, etc, but if you like American hops, then use them.
Just make a great wheat and hop it like an IPA. Actually, seeing how the IPA in your example was diluted 2-fold, maybe you hop it like an aggressive american pale ale. Seeing how easy street wheat is an American wheat beer you can ferment the whole batch with one yeast. However pitching more than one yeast (yeast blend) works well too.

But, watch out for traps! As Joel Coehoorn♦ informed me, there are edge-cases which need the existence of shortened URLs. Including but not limited to:
- Certain Wikipedia-Links
- Archive.org Wayback-Machine
- Browsershots.org
- Google Books
Make sure that you're not breaking any of these by inlining them.
If you find shortened URLs in comments, there's at the moment not much we can do about them. LMGTFY and other objectionable content needs to be
cleansed flagged none the less.
Also there are shortened URLs hiding in the woods (known to some as "Code"), these are no danger to our lands and can therefore be left unchecked and unchallenged.
The Tools
Our most valuable light in the darkness of the night is the search (roughly sorted by number of hits, cleaned ones at the bottom (doesn't mean that they don't come back)):
- bit.ly, 1141 Hits (Data Explorer query)
- TinyUrl.com, 744 Hits
- cl.ly, 371 Hits (Reported by WTP)
- goo.gl, 284 Hits
- is.gd, 11 Hits, all genuinely about shortened URLs.

Feel free to expand and edit that list.
While paying a visit, Rob Hruska showed us the way to a magician which allows us to see beyond shortened URLs without fear for ourselves. Jeff Mercado also showed as an apparatus which does the same. These are only tools on our crusade to protect and help ourselves, we need to cleanse the land from redirections nonetheless.

Don't give rocks or branches a place to snag the underside of your GS. Close the gap between the Expedition skid plate and the rear wheel, and give a smooth sliding surface for the entire underside of your R1200GS with this skidplate extension from Touratech. Whether you're gliding your big GS over logs and rocks, or just want to keep the dirt and grime buildup off your exhaust system and centerstand, this extension is a great addition to your Expedition skid plate.
Made of 4mm thick aluminum, this skid plate is designed to complement the protection and looks of the Touratech Expedition skid plate. It simply attaches to the R1200GS Water Cooled boxer's centerstand and when folded up, creates a continuous aluminum skid plate from the front wheel to the rear.
The extension installs in minutes with 4 sturdy rubberized clamps and 1 large aluminum tab to hold it securely to the centerstand without rattling.

It is known to me that $K$ is homeomorphic to $2^{\mathbb{N}}$. So it would suffice to show $2^{\mathbb{N}}$ is homeomorphic to $2^{\mathbb{N}}\times2^{\mathbb{N}}$. I was wondering what people's thoughts were about the Cantor set as a binary tree and the implications thereof.
Jacob Schlather has answered the first question. The second is pretty open-ended, so I'll take it in a direction that interests me. If you've not yet learned about infinite ordinals, some of it may be a bit mysterious.
The Cantor tree is the complete binary tree of height $\omega$, the first infinite ordinal. The easiest way to think of it is to let $T={^{<\omega}\{0,1\}}$, the set of finite sequences of zeroes and ones, ordered so that $\sigma\prec\tau$ iff $\sigma$ is a proper initial segment of $\tau$. Then for any $\sigma\in T$ the height of $\sigma$ is simply its length as a sequence: the empty sequence has height $0$, the sequences $0$ and $1$ have height $1$, the sequences $00,01,10$, and $11$ have height $2$, and so on. Thus, $|\operatorname{Lev}_n(T)|=2^n$ for each $n\in\Bbb N$.
Suppose that $\beta$ is a branch of $T$. Then $\beta$ contains exactly one member of each level of $T$; let $\sigma_n$ be the member of $\beta$ in the $n$-th level of $T$. For example, one branch of $T$ contains the following sequences in addition to the empty sequence: $1,11,111,1111,\dots~$. By the definition of branch we know that $\sigma_0\prec\sigma_1\prec\sigma_2\prec\ldots~$: $\sigma_k$ is an initial segment of $\sigma_n$ whenever $k<n$. Thus, there is a unique infinite sequence $\hat\beta$ of zeroes and ones such that $\sigma_n$ is the initial $n$ terms of $\hat\beta$. In the case of the example, $\hat\beta=\langle 1,1,1,\dots\rangle$, the constant $1$ sequence. Thus, the branches of $T$ correspond in a natural way with the points of the product $2^{\Bbb N}$.
For each $\sigma\in T$ let $B(\sigma)=\{\beta\in\operatorname{Br}(T):\sigma\in\beta\}$; this is the set of branches of $T$ that go through the node $\sigma$. Alternatively, it's the set of branches $\beta$ such that $\sigma$ is an initial segment of the infinite sequence $\hat\beta$. Once you get past all the notation, it's not hard to see that $\{\hat\beta:\beta\in B(\sigma)\}$ is a basic open set in $2^{\Bbb N}$, and that the collection of all such basic open sets is a base for the product topology on $2^{\Bbb N}$. Thus, $\{B(\sigma):\sigma\in T\}$ is a base for a topology on $\operatorname{Br}(T)$ such that the map $\operatorname{Br}(T)\to 2^{\Bbb N}:\beta\mapsto\hat\beta$ is a homeomorphism. This topology is sometimes called the tree topology on $\operatorname{Br}(T)$; $\operatorname{Br}(T)$ with the tree topology is homeomorphic to the Cantor set.
All of that is really just recasting things that you already know in a slightly different light. The payoff is that one can do the same thing with any tree.
This topology is always Hausdorff. If $\beta,\gamma\in\operatorname{Br}(T)$ and $\beta\ne\gamma$, then there are $s,t\in T$ such that $s\in\beta\setminus\gamma$ and $t\in\gamma\setminus\beta$. It follows that $s\not\preceq t\not\preceq s$ and hence that $B(s)$ and $B(t)$ are disjoint open nbhds of $\beta$ and $\gamma$, respectively. It has other nice properties as well. For instance, for any $\alpha$ less than the height of the tree $\{B(t):t\in\operatorname{Lev}_\alpha(T)\}$ is a partition of $\operatorname{Br}(T)$ into open sets, so each of these sets is also closed. This shows that each $B(t)\in\mathscr{B}$ is a clopen set, and since $\operatorname{Br}(T)$ has a base of clopen sets, it's a zero-dimensional space. This immediately implies that it's a Tikhonov (= Hausdorff and completely regular) space.
Notice that for any $B(s),B(t)\in\mathscr{B}$, either $B(s)\subseteq B(t)$, $B(t)\subseteq B(s)$, or $B(s)\cap B(t)=\varnothing$. (Such a base is sometimes called a non-Archimedean base.) It turns out that this implies that if $\operatorname{Br}(T)$ is metrizable, it has a compatible non-Archimedean metric (or ultrametric), meaning a metric $d$ that satisfies the following very strong version of the triangle inequality: for any $\beta,\gamma,\delta\in\operatorname{Br}(T)$,
Spaces constructed in this way are of considerable importance in set-theoretic topology. The structure of the tree determines the topology of the space of branches. In particular, certain combinatorial properties of trees are known to correspond to certain topological properties of the branch space, and it's often easier to construct a tree with a specific combinatorial property than it is to construct from scratch a space with the corresponding topological property.
With regards to your first question we have $\newcommand{\N}{\mathbb N} 2^\N \times 2^\N \approx 2^{\N + \N}$ and since $|\N + \N|=|\N|$ it follows that $2^\N \approx 2^{\N + \N}\approx 2^{\N} \times 2^{\N}$.

As a follow-up to "What should I look for in a good pair of cycling shorts?," how long should I expect a good pair of cycling shorts (regular or bib) last? I think that an estimate in hours or km would be more useful than months or years(?). Is there an objective way to know when I should replace a worn out pair?

For shorts that I commute in every weekday I spend a little over an hour a day in them (100km/week). Those should last 3 months to a year when laundered weekly. Cheaper ones tend to last 3-6 months, better ones closer to a year. I've had some shocking experiences with branded cheap shorts lasting a month, and other times apparently identical shorts will last a year. I regard anything over 6 months as a win. But I buy commuting shorts out of the sale bins so my selection is limited.
I haven't trained on an upright for some years, but when I used to I'd spend a bit more and get better ones, focussing mostly on the chamois. A thicker, well shaped chamois normallys comes with shorts that will outlast the chamois so I buy on that. I still only get 6 months out of the shorts, but I ride 6-12 hours a week in them and at least rinse them after every ride.
Eventually, the material will thin out and holes will start to appear. Objectively, if people can see your junk, then it's time to retire the shorts (or, in colder climates, restrict them to winter-only duty under tights). The chamois will deteriorate over time as well, so if a pair of shorts isn't as comfortable as it once was, it's about time to throw it away.
As far as durability, I'd be very disappointed in any set of shorts that didn't last at least 5000 km.
Another note on care and feeding--make sure that the shorts never rub against anything abrasive (seat bag, velcro bits hanging off jacket, etc.) while you ride, as the material can wear through in an awful hurry.
I've only worn out 3 or 4 pairs of regular shorts in the last 18 years, so it's possible to make them last. I try to buy high quality pairs and relegate the older ones for use on the trainer. Proper care (gentle cold water wash, hang dry) is important to keep them from wearing out too soon.
If the shorts develop large holes, lose their stretch or the stitching starts to come undone, then it's time to say goodbye. Also watch out for the chamois bunching up or getting rough in places.

I got two PCs (one a little bit older Desktop and a new HP Probook 5330m LG719 Laptop), both running Ubuntu 11.10.
When I log in on either of them, sooner (sometimes right after login) or later (sometimes 30 minutes afterwards) the whole desktop gets extremely slow. That is, I can no longer use it, the mouse will only move every other second for some pixels, or not at all; keyboard input does not seem to work (at least alt+f4, etc.)
I cannot think of anything that might cause it: My laptop runs on an Intel Core 5, my desktop an AMD Phenom 9650. The former got an Intel HD 3000 graphics processor (rc6 and stuff enabled, which never caused crashes without Skype enabled), the latter a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS with proprietary drivers.
The only other software I have installed that is not in the standard installation is, as far as i remember, dropbox and google chrome.
Neither in syslog nor in the xorg log are any entries near the time of the freeze. Starting Skype in the Terminal wont give any results, it seems to crash before reporting.
Does anyone experienced similar problems or know a solution for it?

A mammogram is an X-ray image of your breast used to screen for breast cancer. Mammograms play a key role in early breast cancer detection and help decrease breast cancer deaths.
During a mammogram, your breasts are compressed between two firm surfaces to spread out the breast tissue. Then an X-ray captures black-and-white images of your breasts that are displayed on a computer screen and examined by a doctor who looks for signs of cancer.
A mammogram can be used either for screening or for diagnostic purposes. How often you should have a mammogram depends on your age and your risk of breast cancer.
Mammography is X-ray imaging of your breasts designed to detect tumors and other abnormalities. Mammography can be used either for screening or for diagnostic purposes in evaluating a breast lump:
Experts and medical organizations don't agree on when women should begin regular mammograms or how often the tests should be performed. Talk with your doctor about your risk factors, your preferences, and the benefits and risks of screening. Together, you can decide what screening mammography schedule is best for you.
Some general guidelines for when to begin screening mammography include:
Risks and limitations of mammograms include:
To prepare for your mammogram:
At the testing facility, you're given a gown and asked to remove neck jewelry and clothing from the waist up. To make this easier, wear a two-piece outfit that day.
For the procedure itself, you stand in front of an X-ray machine specially designed for mammography. The technician places one of your breasts on a platform and raises or lowers the platform to match your height. The technician helps you position your head, arms and torso to allow an unobstructed view of your breast.
Your breast is gradually pressed against the platform by a clear plastic plate. Pressure is applied for a few seconds to spread out the breast tissue. The pressure isn't harmful, but you may find it uncomfortable or even painful. If you have too much discomfort, tell the technician.
Your breast must be compressed to even out its thickness and permit the X-rays to penetrate the breast tissue. The pressure also holds your breast still to decrease blurring from movement and minimizes the dose of radiation needed. During the brief X-ray exposure, you'll be asked to stand still and hold your breath.
After images are made of both your breasts, you may be asked to wait while the technician checks the quality of the images. If the views are inadequate for technical reasons, you may have to repeat part of the test. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes. Afterward, you may dress and resume normal activity.
In the United State, federal law requires mammogram facilities to send your results within 30 days, but you can usually expect to receive your results sooner. Ask the technician what you can expect.
Mammography produces mammograms — black-and-white images of your breast tissue. Most mammograms are digital images that appear on a computer screen. A radiologist interprets the images and sends a written report of the findings to your doctor.
The radiologist looks for evidence of cancer or noncancerous (benign) conditions that may require further testing, follow-up or treatment.
Possible findings include:
Calcifications can be the result of cell secretions, cell debris, inflammation and trauma, among other causes. Tiny, irregular deposits called microcalcifications may be associated with cancer. Larger, coarser areas of calcification may be caused by aging or by a benign condition such as fibroadenoma, a common noncancerous tumor of the breast. Most breast calcifications are benign, but if calcifications appear worrisome, the radiologist might order additional diagnostic images with magnification.
Dense areas indicate tissue that is more glandular than fatty, which can make calcifications and masses more difficult to identify or differentiate from normal glandular tissue. Dense areas can also represent cancer. Distorted areas suggest tumors that may have invaded neighboring tissues.
If the radiologist notes areas of concern on your mammogram, further testing may include additional mammograms known as compression or magnification views, as well as ultrasound imaging or a procedure (biopsy) to remove a sample of breast tissue for laboratory testing. Some situations require the use of diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in areas where the current imaging with mammography or ultrasound is negative and it's not clear what's causing a breast change or abnormality.

Let $\left< , \right> : G \times H \to {\bf C}$ be a dually pairing for two complex Hopf algebras $G$ and $H$. For any (left)-$G$-comodule $(V,\Delta_R)$, we can give $V$ the structure of a left $H$-module by defining $$ G \times V \to V, ~~~~~~~~~ (h,v) \mapsto v_{(0)} \left< v_{(1)},S(h) \right> . $$ Now it is not clear to me how to go the other way, ie how to produce a $G$-comodule from a $H$-module.
For the case of $U_q[\frak{sl}_2]$, and the coordinate algebra $SL_p(2)$, we have such a correspondence between comodules, but the pairing between these two Hopf algebras is non-degenerate.
This, causes me to propose the conjecture: A dual pairing, for $G$ and $H$ two (complex) Hopf algebras, induces an equivalence of modules of $G$ and comodules of $H$, and vice-versa if, and only if, the pairing is non-degenerate.

We're having internal arguments about how to label buttons with actions. Other folks in the internet teams, who aren't necessarily User-Focused, demanding that 'Action' buttons to simply read "click here". Has anyone come across good articles / best practices for button naming? Need ammo for proving that users are more likely to click on buttons that indicate where that click will take them, i.e. "Contact Us Online".
What's the context of those buttons? In my mind, it makes even less sense to use 'Click here' as the text of a button that it does for a link because at least a link will normally be in context (i.e. "To find out more about XYZ, click here") whilst a button will almost always be a standalone object, to be clicked on. I can't imagine how a button can possibly have the words 'Click here' on it.

It's probably safe to make two assessments after Penn State's three-set steamrolling of Washington on Thursday night:
No, the noise inside Key Arena generated by a sold-out pro-Huskies crowd of 14,975 was not going to affect Penn State.
And, yes, the Big Ten is really that good.
The conference that put seven teams in the round of 16 is now guaranteed the 2013 NCAA Division I Volleyball Championship because earlier Wisconsin ousted No. 1 Texas and then league mate Penn State crushed Washington 25-14, 25-13, 25-16 in a lopsided semifinal no one could have predicted.
"It's tough. It stinks," said Washington coach Jim McLaughlin, whose team won the 2005 NCAA title and thrilled this area by winning a spot here this week.
Russ Rose, who has been Penn State's coach for 35 years and has five NCAA titles to his credit, including four in a row from 2007 to 2010, said simply that "we worked hard on a game plan and the players executed it really well."
It looked easy. The Nittany Lions' combined 75-43 margin of victory is the widest straight sets national-semifinal victory since the NCAA Tournament went to 25-point rally scoring in 2008.
"No, I wouldn't say it was easy," Penn State senior right side Ariel Scott said. "We've been doing a lot of scouting. We've been working really hard at practice. I'm proud of us, but Washington is a great team."
But the Huskies were no match for a Penn State team (33-2) that hit .488. The Nittany Lions had 46 kills in 84 swings with just five errors.
Conversely, Washington (30-3) hit a lowly .117 with 28 kills in 94 attacks with 17 errors.
What's more, Penn State had five aces, which might have been negated by nine errors (super server setter Micha Hancock had three of each), but Washington had just one ace and six errors.
"I watched six matches on them from this year," McLaughlin said, "and this was the most consistent they played. We kind of allowed them to be good, too. It was the first time we hadn't responded to the adversity and we panicked a little bit. We didn't get in spots to pressure them."
Penn State, which won its 24th match in a row, was led by senior outside Deja McClendon, with 11 kills in 23 swings with just two errors while hitting .391. She also had a 13 digs.
"I think our blockers did a great job setting up," McClendon said. "I had a good view of the hitter and then we did a lot of scouting. Our coaches helped a lot, just to plan where they're going to hit the ball."
"Deja's a wonderful young person and she's been our best player all year," Rose said. "The things that she does are the intangibles that coaches recognize more than people who look at the boxscore. I mean, she's our best passer, she's our best defensive player, she's our best left side blocker, and there are times when she's unstoppable hitting."
Scott had 10 kills and no errors in 18 swings for a .556 percentage, and big middle Katie Slay was eight of 11 with no errors (.727) and added four block assists.
Washington's junior star, outside Krista Vansant, had seven kills in 28 swings and hit .179.
From the start of the match, Penn State was out to stop her.
"Penn State kept the pressure on the whole time and that's why they were so dominant," Vansant said.
Junior outside Haleigh Nelson led the Huskies with eight kills, also in 28 swings, but she had five errors and hit . 107.
"They're a system team," Rose said. "If you have some veteran players that understand part of what they're doing, you might be able to exploit some things. And I thought we had a good plan for the evening, and we were fortunate that we controlled the ball and could do that.
What's more, Rose said he couldn't remember the last time Penn State won a match like this, routing the opponent in such a meaningful situation.
"I don't look back my friend," he cracked. "That's why there's media guides."
But he knows the significance of what his team did Thursday night, especially after getting past Stanford, also from the Pac-12, in five grueling sets last Saturday to make it here.
"I prepare the same way for 35 years," Rose said. "I don't know how many hours sleep people had since we had the press conference [Wednesday], but I'm thinking I was on the lower end of that continuum.
"Coaches only control certain things and you need to work at those things and if you don't work at those things and just assume you're going to win, then I think you're making a bad decision. That's just my opinion, but I work really hard. I watch a lot of video.
"I watch an incredible amount of video."
Against Washington it was evident. Will it be Saturday against Wisconsin, which Penn State swept twice this season? McLaughlin, for one, hopes plenty of U-Dub faithful come to watch.
"I hope our fans, who are so good and who have always been so good, I just hope that they come out and watch some good volleyball Saturday."
He tried to smile.
"I'll' be there," McLaughlin said. "I don't know who I'm going to cheer for."

Almost anyone who had visited New York's marvelous Saratoga Race Course would testify that the racing program on Sunday, Aug. 12 was not one of the stellar days enjoyed at the historic Spa.
Rain and a weaker-than-usual racing program kept spirits in check, at least until one beautiful moment arrived, last in the day.
The symbolic break in the clouds was provided by Morton Fink's Kentucky-based Wise Dan, one of American racing's most versatile stars. Wise Dan, racing for the first time for trainer Charlie Lopresti since a disappointing last-jump loss to Ron the Greek in the Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap in June at Churchill Downs, waited patiently under jockey John Velasquez on a boggy Saratoga turf course. Then he shot through an inside hole to roll to an emphatic five-length victory in the Grade II Fourstardave Handicap.
If not for that narrow loss in the Stephen Foster, Wise Dan would probably be hailed as the best horse in America right now. But that's OK – he's got plenty of time to earn that title by the end of the year.
Wise Dan is a graded stakes winner on all three surfaces in American racing: dirt, turf and synthetic. He owns a Grade I victory on dirt in last fall's Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs. His brief 2012 campaign has been a study in versatility and excellence that includes a season-opening 10 ½-length romp on synthetic Polytrack in Keeneland's Ben Ali, his loss by a narrow head in the Foster and Sunday's soggy stroll in the Fourstardave.
In horse racing, there are "horses for courses" – runners that enjoy their greatest success on particular surfaces and tracks. Wise Dan is a horse for any course, with six wins in his last eight races and a career record of 10-1-0 in 17 starts with earnings of $1,394,418.
Since synthetic tracks started popping up around North America, only one horse has scored Grade I stakes victories on all three racing surfaces. That horse is the retired Lava Man, who received plenty of attention this spring for his role as trainer Doug O'Neill's stable pony for Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another.
One other horse – the Brazilian-bred, Kentucky-based Einstein, came close to that rare triple with Grade I wins on synthetic and grass courses, but he fell short in two tries Grade I tries on the dirt in the Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap. He ran second to eventual Horse of the Year Curlin in 2008 and finished a hard-luck third to Macho Again in the 2009 running, a race in which he was hampered by traffic woes and was probably the best horse.
Last year's Clark Handicap is the only Grade I triumph currently on Wise Dan's resumé, but if there is any horse in America that seems eligible to join Lava Man as America's most versatile, high-level runner, it would seem to be Lopresti's star.
Wise Dan's next start is expected to come in a Grade I event on either dirt or grass. Lopresti is looking at the Woodward over the Saratoga dirt on Sept. 3 as a prime target, but the Grade I Woodbine Mile on turf at Toronto's Woodbine is also an option.
A win in the latter could put Wise Dan two thirds of the way toward Lava Man, and year-end options for Lopresti loom on dirt and grass at Santa Anita in the Breeders' Cup Classic or the Breeders' Cup Mile, which is run over grass.
It's good to have choices.
A Grade I run over a synthetic course would likely have to occur next year, perhaps in a race like the Pacific Classic at Southern California's Del Mar. That would not be a normal journey for the Keeneland-based Lopresti, but he could be motivated to travel with a lightly-raced 5-year-old gelding that, provided he stays healthy, seems to be approaching his prime.
"There are not many horses who could do what he's done," Lopresti said after the Fourstardave. "Based on what he did today, he's the best horse on the East Coast."
After starting the year with three national stars, Wise Dan represents Lopresti's hope for autumn glory. Stablemates Successful Dan, an older half-brother to Wise Dan and the winner of the Grade II Alysheba at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Oaks Day, and Turallure, who lost last year's running of the Breeders' Cup Mile by a painful nose, have gone to the sidelines with injuries.
But Wise Dan marches on and his run in the Stephen Foster Handicap, although disappointing to Lopresti, indicates that he should be included in any conversations regarding the top dirt horses in America and leading candidates for the Breeders' Cup Classic.
The Foster, billed in June as the top race-to-date for American older horses, has validated that assessment. It has been a "key race" from which its participants have gone on to enjoy significant success on other fronts.
Fort Larned, last in the Foster after a difficult trip, has since won the Grade I Whitney at Saratoga and the Grade III Prairie Meadows Cornhusker, in which he defeated Successful Dan. The victorious Ron the Greek was the Whitney runner-up, and Alternation, who had a four-race win streak snapped with a fifth-place effort in the Foster, rebounded to win last week's $200,000 Governor's Cup at Remington Park.
The Foster lived up to its pre-race hype and with a little luck and a better journey, Wise Dan could have won it. He is a very good horse.
The Fourstardave was special in many ways to Velasquez, who suffered a broken collarbone in the race the followed the Foster that night at Churchill Downs. He returned to the saddle in the early days of the Saratoga meet, and the Fourstardave – named for a Saratoga favorite trained by Velasquez's father-in-law, Leo O'Brien – put an exclamation point on a day that begin with the enshrinement of the jockey who rode Animal Kingdom to victory in the 2011 Kentucky Derby, in racing's Hall of Fame.
So it was a full day, and the victory aboard Wise Dan pointed to continued good things in the weeks ahead aboard his versatile and very talented horse.
"I think he's incredible," Velasquez said. "For him to (win) on dirt, Polytrack, and grass – soft turf – I am very impressed with him. … He has done everything so well."

Barbecue-Rubbed, Smoke-Roasted Whole Chickens with Apple Cider Barbecue Sauce
Categories: Entertaining, On the Grill
Type: Main Dishes
Type: Main Dishes
This approach to grilling a whole chicken is a breeze to make, and delicious when coated with a simple but luscious ketchup-brown sugar paste.
Serves: Serves 6
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 whole chickens, 3lb (1.35kg) each
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
The sauce
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons finely minced orange zest
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon celery seeds
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Light a fire well over to one side of your grill, using enough coals to fill 11/2 large shoeboxes.
- Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, coriander, and cumin in a small bowl and mix well.
- Place one chicken on a work surface, breast side up, and push down hard to flatten it as much as possible. Repeat with the second bird. Sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper and coat thoroughly with the ketchup mixture.
- When the fire has died down and the coals are covered with white ash, place the chickens on the side of the grill away from the coals, breast side down, legs facing toward the coals, being careful that none of the meat is directly over the coals. Put the lid on the grill with the vents open one-quarter of the way. Cook for 30 minutes, then turn the chickens breast side up, add another 1/2 shoebox of fresh charcoal, and continue cooking for 30-45 minutes more. To check for doneness, make a cut into the thickest part of one thigh, all the way to the bone; there should be no sign of pink. (It's not easy to take the temperature of a flattened bird, but if you do use a thermometer, look for a final temperature of 160°F/71°C.)
- Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce on the stove top: Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thick, syrupy, and reduced by about two-thirds (about 20 minutes). Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.
- When the chickens are done, transfer them to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes. Carve each chicken into 6 pieces and serve, along with the barbecue sauce.

How could I know whether the eCommerce site I use uses SET (Secure Electronic Transaction). I know SET is a standard. But I see only an SSL connection
As Avid pointed out, the SET standard was abandoned in favor of the 3-D Secure scheme; so no, it isn't really a standard. If I recall correctly, the protocol never really gained wide-acceptance due to its complexity and cost versus simply using SSL.
The chances that your ecommerce store use SET are very low (<1%). However, there is a simple way you can check to see if the ecommerce store uses SET... if you need to install an "e-wallet" client-side application, then you can rest assured you are using SET. However, not having to install the client-app won't tell you much because SET can be implemented on the backend server, in which case the problem of having to use an e-wallet is offloaded to the server in a way that is transparent to the user.
In the end, there isn't a 100% accurate way to tell whether or not you are using SET, but I think it's a moot point given its lack of acceptance or use.
According to Wikipedia (emphasis mine):
So, no, that site most probably is not using SET. And apparently, it shouldn't be.

Today i get myself a new toy for making vr panoramas:

My website: www.360p.nl
8,67 Gigapixels Panorama: http://www.360p.nl/portfolio/gigapixel/123-bataviahaven-lelystad-8-67-gigapixels
The way it looks I take for granted that it is NOT a leveling column - if I am worng, please - post the details and where you got it. I have the standard length leveling center column which, on the one hand is a boon, on the other its length is a pain.
Hello Seacat,
How are you getting on with your short centre column?
I was looking at the possibility of buying one at the end of last year when I found that the centre column on my Manfrotto tripod seemed to be always in the way of my nadir shot when using the Nadir adaptor.
I plan to make some experiments having read the advice from Heinz, but this looks like a good solution.
Best regards, Hugh.
Hi Hugh,
May be I might step in. It works fine, for 055 tripod you might have to turn around the rubber ring to get a flat surface. For both center columns shown in Seacat's thread, you can take off the rubber cup and replace it with 055 LAA Adapter. This will add a 3/8" screw to the bottom end of the center column in case this is needed.
The short center column will not show in Nadir1 shot.
Sorry, I do not know why my Pics in portrait mode are turned around uploading to Forum. May be someone else knows. Would be nice for me to get to know. The last pic shows Manfrotto 555B center column for comparison.

Scroll down to see the short center column. Since the tripod legs on my Manfrotto tripod are so very easy to adjust, I do not use any type of leveler.
Yes, I agree.
Before acquiring my Manfrotto tripod I used a Survey tripod and tribrach, which gave me rock solid platform and the tribrach is perhaps the ultimate leveler as it has a very precise bubble, but its a heavy and cumbersome bit of kit to carry around, so I am very happy with my NN3 and Manfrotto.
I am just contemplating following Seacat's lead and getting a short column.
I will now probaly go ahead and follow Seacat's lead.
As for the pictures being turned around - who knows?
In England we balme it on the "gremlins" - no doubt you have something similar in Holland?
... that's computers for you, but even sideways they convey the right information!

Similar to an old recipe given me by my grandmother many years ago--only you make your own breadcrumbs from any left over bread, or used crushed crackers, It is good without all the additional ingredients if one is in a hurry-just egg, crumbs, drizzle olive oil on hot skillet- fry for a min on each side, Yummy--- you really cannot hurt this by whatever you add to the major three things-the salmon, the thickener (cracker or bread crumbs) and egg--you just cannot mess it up ! Easy, economical, good for you and everybody always ate every bite (because they wanted to !) :)
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
117 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
We loved this recipe. I used a 15 oz can of salmon. Did not bother to remove bones or skin. Just mashed them into the salmon until they disappeared. I decided not to spend extra money buying the parsley and just used dill which I had purchased for the sauce. I am gluten intolerant so I decided to use quinoa (3/4 cup) instead of the bread crumbs,and increased the number of eggs to 2. I followed the directions however I would not cook them for 20 min next time (more like 12 - 15. I also would not pan fry first. I would just pop them in the oven.
I generally hate fish but found this to be exceptionally good!!!
Don't let all the steps fool you... it is very easy and very delish !! I double the recipe so that I have leftovers to eat with a Salad the next day for lunch... I don't use all the bread because I use a very coarse bread.. Don't forget the Dill Sauce.... Yummy !!
My husband and I make this at least once a week. We make it very budget-friendly by not using the fresh herbs (or dill sauce) and extra healthy by using quick-cooking oats instead of the bread crumbs and adding Swiss Chard to the veggie mixture. Last week, we even made it without an egg (because we were out) and just added 1 tablespoon of German mustard. Yum! We both agreed it was delicious and we'll make it that way from now on. Such a a wonderful, versatile recipe!
we will makw it again

I have a DSLR that I've started using for video recording and I'd like to buy some accessories for shooting video. I know this could be subjective, but it doesn't have to be. I am looking for accessories for a DSLR that help with video recording, such as a follow focus, or shotgun mic. What are some important accessories for recording with a DSLR?

I'm biased, but before anything else, invest in AUDIO GEAR. Far too often, filmmakers forget to keep audio on an equal par with picture. Invest in some good, quality mics. Shotgun? Meh...a good, all purpose cardioid like the reasonably-priced ElectroVoice RE-10 can hold you over for a while until you get some audio recording practice under your belt.
Essential to MY toolkit is an H4N...an excellent digital audio recorder. It's small enough to hide on set, and I'll be honest...I've used it hidden behind a centerpiece to record a conversation at a table with no problems. They're stupid cheap, too...like...um...$299? I forget offhand.
The microphones in DSLRs are pretty much all crap from my experience; I use them more as a reference track than anything else.
Good audio will make your images sparkle even more!
Good advice in regards to sound from dwwilson66.
My favourite accessory for my camera is this shoulder rig. There are heaps of stores selling them on eBay for under $100. They're great for how much you pay.
My personal and very subjective recommendation list:
I vote for audio accessories first then the rigs and tripods. Just want to mention that you can make a lot cool tracking shot stuff very cheaply with PVC pipe and skate wheels.
Here's a good example:
The key to making this work well is to be very precise with where you make holes, and pay attention to the lengths of each item.
If you like this sort of thing but don't want to spend time building it, you might want to become familiar with folks that specialize in dolly, cranes, and sliders. Here are some examples:

If $p$ is a prime number and $r = 1,2,3 \dots ,p -1$, how can I prove that the binomial coefficients $_nC_r(p,r)$ are divisible by $p$? By divisible I mean $_nC_r(p,r)/p$ leaves remainder $0$.
If $p$ is a prime number and $r = 1,2,3 \dots ,p -1$, how can I prove that the binomial coefficients $_nC_r(p,r)$ are divisible by $p$? By divisible I mean $_nC_r(p,r)/p$ leaves remainder $0$.
Let $p$ be prime. I assume that you are asking why $\binom{p}{r}$ is divisible by $p$ for $r=1,2,\dots,p-1$. Instead of ${}_pC_r$, I will use the notation $\binom{p}{r}$.
Let $N=\binom{p}{r}$. Then $$N=\frac{p!}{r!(p-r)!},\quad \text{or equivalently}\quad p!=Nr!(p-r)!.$$
Clearly $p$ divides $p!$. Thus $p$ divides $Nr!(p-r)!$. But if a prime divides a product, then it divides at least one of the terms. Since $p$ cannot divide $r!$ or $(p-r)!$, it must divide $N$.
Another way: there is an action of $ \mathbb{Z}_p$ on the sets of size r. It's easy to see that if r is as you required then there are no fixed points of this action,and,being an action of a p-group on a finite set,you have that mod p the size of the set and number of fixed points are equal. So you have your divisibility relation. Note that using this congruence you can also prove Fermat little theorem,but by the way you can also prove it in the same way as this:you can see that $\mathbb{Z}_p$ acts on the set of function from a set of p elements to a set of a elements,whose size is $a^p$, and it's easy to see that only the constants are the fixed points of this action,and there are a of them. Then using the above result againg you have that $a^p=a mod p$
Edit:Ok i will explain in more detail it. Take a set A in $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Take j in $\mathbb{Z}_p$,then consider the set j+A. This defines an action of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ on the subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Of course sets of size r are sent in sets of size r. Then this defines an action of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ on the sets of size r. This gives you a decomposition of them in orbits. By orbit stabilizer lemma each orbit has a lenght that divides p. Then it has to be 1 or p. If is p modp is as 0, then you can count mod p just the fixed points(orbit of size 1). But it's clear that a set of size r, with $ 1<r<p$ cannot be fixed by all translations,then there are no fixed points,so the orbits are all long p,then their sum(that gives you the binomial)is 0 mod p. In a very similar way you argue about the following action on functions,given j in $\mathbb{Z}_p$ f from $\mathbb{Z}_p$ to a set of size a you send in f(x+j). You can check that a function is fixed by such an action just if it is constant,so for the same reason i've explained above, you have number of functions=constant function(mod p) that translated numerically gives you Fermat theorem(that can be anyway catched from the above binomial congruence by induction)

Former Sen. George McGovern, who lost 1972 presidential bid to Nixon, has died at 90, on Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012.
It's a label that a lot of politicians aren't willing to embrace these days but George McGovern never shied away from it.
He said a decade ago, "I am a liberal and always have been." But he said he wasn't the "wild-eyed character" that Republicans made him out to be.
The former South Dakota senator and Democratic presidential nominee in 1972 died yesterday at the age of 90. A public viewing is planned Thursday in Sioux Falls, with a funeral the next day.
McGovern was known for campaigning against the Vietnam War during his years in the Senate and his three presidential bids. He'd been a decorated World War II bomber pilot who would later say he had learned to hate war by waging it.
During his 1972 presidential run, which ended in a historic landslide victory by Richard Nixon despite the unfolding Watergate scandal, McGovern promised to end the war and cut defense spending by billions of dollars.
He helped create the Food for Peace program -- and in his post-Senate years, he focused on feeding the hungry at home and abroad.
Donald Simmons, director, George McGovern Center in Mitchell, S.D., says "McGovern stood his ground in opposing the Vietnam War and was always honest about his positions, despite costly conseqences for his presidential campaign."
According to a spokesman, McGovern died Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012 at a hospice in Sioux Falls, surrounded by family and friends

Here's the sequence:
- I asked a question (poll type) and gave four answers for voting.
- Someone else gave an answer as well.
- Someone pointed out it was a dupe.
- I tried to delete the question - it said there were too many answers.
- I deleted all my answers.
- I deleted the question successfully.
- I undeleted the question to leave a comment as to why I deleted it.
Now, all the answers are back with one delete vote each and I can't delete them again since I already voted. And I'm now stuck on step 4 above.
I would think the deleted answers should stay deleted even if I undelete the question. I certainly think I shouldn't lose the power to delete my own answers.

10 Ways to Deal with Temper Tantrums
2 of 11
Don't Yell
You may feel tempted to return your toddler's screaming with some yelling of your own. But seeing your anger when he's already got enough of his own will no doubt drive your child even farther over the edge. Your own yelling will tend to prolong your child's tantrum, because it will set him off again and again.

What does laufen mean in the following context:
Also, mit ein Meter sechsundsiebzig ist es nicht so einfach. Hier laufen so viele kleine Männer rum.
What does laufen mean in the following context:
In that particular context,
means something like:
Couldn't find any reference to support this though. So you will have to trust a German ;)
(Repeating my comment.) I'm not a refined speaker of English, so maybe people might disagree:
In my opinion, it can indeed be translated very literally by "There are so many little men walking around." – The sentence "Hier laufen so viele kleine Männer rum." says that there are men nearby, probably in one's field of vision, and also suggests that they are walking. This meaning is also covered here. (Keeping in mind that "rumlaufen" is short and colloquial for "herumlaufen".)
The following is very overinterpreting, but should give some feeling about the usage of this word in your sentence:
I feel this particular sentence uses the word "herumlaufen" to describe that there is something going on, people are moving, maybe preparing themselves for something. Possibly there's some kind of event lying ahead like a talent show, a concert or some sort of tournament for which those men have to prepare themselves which is why they walk around: to gather their stuff. More generally it describes a situation at some place: you see little men at place who walk around. I hope this gives you some feeling of how the word is used in that sentence.
Since you asked for alternative meanings of "laufen" other than "walk" and "run" – there are many. For example it's common to say "Es läuft." to express "It's working." or "Was läuft im Fernsehen?" for "What's on TV?". In the sentence you have given, it's very close to its original meaning "walking" as explained above.
As the original question is What does "laufen" mean other than walking and running? Even though the question's description provides a more precise context, I'd like to add some other (more colloquial) meanings:
The translation would be:
"Well, its not that easy with a body height of 1m 76 cm . Here are so many small men.
The word "laufen .... rum" means existing in that context or like Baz said "There are a lot of small men here"
Greetings from Germany ;)
Laufen can refer to walking or running, but in a broader sense, it can be translated to "go" or to "move."
"Hier laufen so viele kleine Männer rum." Here GO so many small men. (They're in the way.)
"Was läuft im Fernsehen?" What's "going" (showing) on TV?
