Great stuff! Really enjoyed the inner harbor section, quotes from Nenn and Norquist.
100. electric street cars. sorry mayor barret, you (and your current admin. folks)
just do not have the credibility, track record, and taxpayer support to do
this. just look up at the "reNOvated city hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hide replies
04, you need to learn about vehicles. They don't like stop and go driving. Street cars work great in German cities. Maybe you should try reading Forbes, "How Germany Builds Twice as Many Cars as the U.S. While Paying Its Workers Twice as Much," http://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickallen/2011/12/21/germany-builds-twice-as-many-cars-as-the-u-s-while-paying-its-auto-workers-twice-as-much/
Street cars are part of integrated, multi-modal transit.
Actually wages in Germany compared to the other core euro countries have paled considering the export engine that Germany is. Now the the politicos want to continue the vendor-finance scheme by bailing out all the periphery, e.g. Greece, that used borrowed euro money to buy German and French products. Think GM before its bankruptcy. You cannot fix a debt problem by piling on more debt. That would be like telling a person addicted to pain pills "here are some more to help you|!".
Everything about a major city flows from its main street, so Wisconsin Avenue between the Marquette campus and the river needs as much creativity and attention as possible. Developments like the Grand Avenue Shops have failed in other cities as well, so chalk it up to a bad model and return it to a street-friendly series of shops. Standards need to be raised for the exteriors of every property on Wisconsin Avenue, and in return streetscaping should be introduced.Hide replies
Great point about streetscaping. It's cheap and makes the city look nice. However, while I like the idea of turning the stores in the Grand outward, every major city has a mall downtown. In fact, I'd venture to say that it is fair to judge the health of a whole city by its downtown mall. Street-friendliness has its place, but you need a mall. After all, the weather in Milwaukee isn't the greatest, which you forget if you're in a mall.
Honestly, I've been to almost every major city in the US and EVERY single one has a decent mall downtown or close by. Every city except St. Louis,, Detroit, and Milwaukee. Even Cleveland and Baltimore have nice downtown malls. The model is fine, Milwaukee just isn't implementing it correctly.
Great article. I have always personally felt the landscape of Milwaukee invites the creative energy. Think a theater district supporting new plays or something like a Sundance would workout very well. All the elements to inspire are there. The city has enough diversity to be a great film location. There has never been real effort to market the city for the dramatic arts.
I believe it takes envisioning Milwaukee as a destination rather than a box with the label city. A destination of music and art, theater and museums. Look at the boom developments in cities like Branson and Park City UT where art literally changed their entire economic future.
Milwaukee has been in a rut to follow the leader rather than lead. She is not like any other city in the country with distinctions and differences. Since she lost the fame of industrial center of the world she has floundered looking for a new identity, a new purpose. Never agreed with the Grand Ave project that turned downtown into a concrete box. Milwaukee was never going to be a Mall of America. The casino showed us there is a market for adult activity that is not focused on drinking which has been another downside to economic development. Not everyone enjoys bars as the staple thing to do at night.
Milwaukee needs to shed her beer town, college life days and her focus on being a factory town. The midwest could use a destination of theater, art and world class stage plays. Think a focus to develop new artists, screenwriters, authors and stage plays suits Milwaukee's creative flare. Her robust politics alone would inspire wonderful dramatic theater.Hide replies
I respectfully, yet vehemently disagree with almost everything you have said. How is Milwaukee floundering? It's MSA is the only one in the Rust Belt not to lose population. The population growth rate in the MSA is similar to Boston, Chicago, etc. Marquette is increasing both its endowment and its applicants exponentially. Not sure how you choose to measure floundering.
You present absolutely no reason for Milwaukee to shed its beer and production image. In marketing, that is called a brand--beer is our brand. Many cities would kill to have a national brand and identity (e.g., Cincinnati, Kansas City, Indy, etc.). Companies spend decades trying to build a brand; we have one, don't let it go to waste. We can simply cast it in a new light. Beer need not be low-brow or frat parties. PR and ad campaigns can change any perceptions about the bad connotations of beer, which are drastically overstated by many.
I'm all about public art, it's wonderful. It's cheap. Livens up the city. Great. But trying to make Milwaukee an arts hub is, well, frankly put, a little pie in the sky. Let's be real--as in realistic. We are not competing with Chicago, only 80miles away mind you, in the arts category. In fact, we can't compete with the Twin Cities.
Milwaukee doesn't need to find a "new identity," it already has one--beer and production. Let's embrace that. Not steel production and the like, we are past that; but high-tech production like Johnson Controls, GE Medical, etc. Let's embrace beer, which we can redefine as elegant. Beer connotes a healthy night-life (among other things), which attracts young professionals, which attract companies (business follows labor with respect to both cost and talent), which attract jobs and revenue.
Important to include children and schools in the plan. And ask the people who are in the neighborhoods every day, like police and fire and emergency personnel. They certainly must have ideas about improving the livability of the city. Great article, great idea - almost could give meetings a good name.
Great article! I agree that there is much potential to raise the city's viability as a cultural and innovation center. The missing component would appear to be true visionary leadership at the top. Lacking that, this potential will never be fully realized.
John Casper,
THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY!
As to vehicles and public transportation, we have an "outdated, no-minded" selection of vehicles in same bus in the Milwaukee County Transportation System (MCTS)! An apparent 'one-horse' option that wastes $$$$$!Hide replies
You sound like you're stuck in the 50's.
Phenomenal Article!
Only thing missing is attention to investment - especially in water/clean tech areas. The state needs to have a commitment to Milwaukee, Milwaukee can't just do it alone. The state needs to understand that what's good for urban milwaukee is ultimately an engine for the entire state.
O'Donnell park and bus center. Government planned then strangely the government does not want to expand the bus service. So now tear it down after only some 20 years of use. It would be good to study what happened to Detroit before making grand plans that most likely will have unintended consequences as vested interests use government to extract more and more dollars from the remaining taxpayers.
Abandon the port??? The only way for Wisconsin to become healthy is to cultivate its manufacturing base in order to create true wealth and help pay off the US national debt and fix the balance of payments. Milwaukee hopefully will be part off that and that I think argues to keep the shipping port as integral part of the logistics that will be needed.

Do You Trust Social, Mobile and Cloud?
By Tanu Sood-Oracle on Mar 18, 2013
And why are organizations adapting this "work anywhere, anytime" model? The reasons are plenty - to improve efficiency, bring agility, build user productivity, offer seamless user experience to its customers or to simply establish a trust relationship with the customer. Social, Mobile and Cloud (SoMoClo) together is a business opportunity, a competitive advantage that organizations are seeking. And Security is the lynchpin in this new work order. Without a secure, seamless digital experience, it all falls apart.
With each new experience, the security risk increases. Each channel presents its own security points of failure. How can my company enable social trust as a means of connecting to customers & employees? How do I accommodate dynamic workgroups and teams of people around the globe that need to be part of my value chain? Is the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) threatening the security of my digital and intellectual property? How can I securely connect mobile devices to my enterprise without compromising security? Are my applications secure enough to be cloud ready?
The security solution, thus, needs to scale and span across all the channels, encompass the growing breadth of both the "company resources" and the user population. The solution needs to provide the foundation (a platform) that feeds uniform security policies and extends identity context to the complete digital experience.
Naresh Persaud, Director, Security and Identity Management at Oracle, discusses the IT transformation driven by SoMoClo and underscores the need for a sound security solution. Catch this brief screencast on Securing the New Digital Experience to learn how the latest advances in Oracle Identity Management and Oracle Fusion Middleware solutions are fueling the transformation that is driving innovation in IT today.

Thinking Outside the Pit Box - Irvan-Smith Tool OrganizersWritten by on February 1, 2013 Pit wagons Offer Function and Organization, and No One Does it Better than Irvan-Smith
Things at the race track tend to get chaotic. When it gets out of hand, this chaos can lead to thousands of dollars worth of lost tools and damaged equipment, which is why proper storage is essential. Beyond that, having everything organizing in one location, especially if it's mobile, makes life in the shop and in the pits exponentially easier.
Tool and equipment storage needs to be compact, mobile, and all-inclusive. And no one understands this better than the crew at Irvan-Smith Inc. Irvan-Smith has been servicing the racing industry for 30 years. Its pit carts and pit wagons can be found at nearly any race across the country. It offers a wide array of standard and custom pit wagons, crash carts, fuel carts, tire dollies, and just any other cart needed to transport equipment over the course of a race weekend. Beyond the carts and wagons, Irvan-Smith also has everything needed to fill them.
When it comes to pit carts and wagons, your specific needs are going to dictate what cart or wagon will work best for you. The staff at Irvan-Smith are experts at custom tailoring a box to your needs, or getting you the standard wagon if that will work best for your budget and what you're doing. From a small mobile toolbox, to a custom Cup-style pit box, Irvan-Smith can build a box or boxes to fit all of your pit needs.
Recently, Circle Track ordered a new pit wagon from Irvan-Smith. During the time it was being built, we thought it might be a good idea to show you just what goes into the centerpiece of your pit equipment. The following pages contain a brief look at how one of Irvan-Smith's pit wagons start as raw tubing, and become a useful means of tool, parts, and equipment storage. Keep an eye out in future editorial for our new Irvan-Smith pit wagon whenever we work in the shop or head to the track.

Why are there no besamim used at havdalah at the conclusion of Yom Kippur?
Sign up

The Artscroll machzor says it's because we get no "extra soul" on Yom Kipur as we do on Shabas, so one doesn't need to b'samim to "assuage oneself" (their words) for the extra soul's loss when it leaves.
Tosfos in Pesachim asks why do we not use Besamim in Havdala which is recited in the Kiddush on Yom Tov which immediately follows Shabbos?
Rabbi Frand answers by quoting the Avnei Neizer who states that there is a Neshoma Yiseira on Yom Tov and therefore we do not smell Besamim in Havdala after Yom Tov? Since the Neshama Yiseira does not depart after Yom Tov, therefore there is no need for the Besamim. Unlike the Neshama Yiseira which comes on Shabbos without work on our part, the extra Kedusha on Yom Tov requires that we work to prepare for it. Since we have earned this Kedusha, it does not depart when Yom Tov ends.
Rashi says the Neshama Yeseira is so we can eat more. On Yom Kippur we don't eat! (But according to Rashi, what about other yomtov ...)

Christians believe that they have an indwelling of the Holy Spirit who acts as a counselor and guide, enabling them to rightly understand God's word. How does the role of the Holy Spirit in understanding the Scriptures interact with hermeneutics as an academic field? How do different approaches to hermeneutics balance the importance of being "spirit led" with the study of fixed texts?

From one Christian perspective:
The Holy Ghost is capable of doing his job without any knowledge you have of hermeneutics. However he does not often do it if you do not have knowledge of his Word.
Who better than the Holy Ghost to guide us in remembering and correlating Scripture?
If you wish to hear God propositionally, then you fill your head with Scripture.
Why should he give personal revelation if you haven't listen to the stuff he gave you in the word of truth?
As you have need, God speaks in the still, small voice bringing applicable Scripture to remembrance, and correlating Scripture with scripture until you have a testimony of Christ.
Your ability to remember and to correlate are the channels of propositional communication with God. If you have no scripture in your head you can't hear the words of God when you need them.
As I explained here, there are two phases to the interpretation of Scripture:
1) Knowing the text
This is where you learn the literal interpretation via a study of the language, cultural references, etc.
In this phase, you pretty much just need a working brain, good education in history and languages, diligence in your studies, and no weird spiritual stuff hindering you.
I suppose it could be argued that the Holy Spirit plays a role in this phase, providing you with discernment, helping your brain work properly despite your sin, helping you wake up for class when your alarm doesn't go off, etc... but really, if you are born-again and willing to put in the time and effort, I don't think this is a very "spiritual" endeavor; people learn Latin every day without supernatural miraculous revelation.
2) Understanding the purpose behind God's decision to include a particular passage in Scripture
This is where you "get it" and finally understand what God is "trying to tell mankind" through a particular passage.
I would argue that this phase is 100% Holy Spirit-driven.
Hermeneutics can certainly provide context toward understanding a particular passage, but only in an objective way. Some of the context required for understanding the truth is not accessible without obedience, a transformation of the subject (the disciple).
According to Scripture:
2 Timothy 3:16
and 2 Peter 1:20-21
When one wants to know the intended meaning of something in a book and the author is available, one first inquires of the author.
If we want to interpret Scripture correctly we must know Him.
Jesus the Holy Spirit would guide his followers into all truth and that He is the Spirit of truth. He then prayed that the Father would sanctify them/ set them apart by His truth:
As the author of Scripture, The Holy Spirit's role in hermeneutics is:
I can only answer this question under a Christian perspective.
The bible does not treat itself as literature which can be understood properly through human means. David prayed 'Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law (Psalm 118:19, ESV). Paul also prayed the same thing for the Ephesians that they would have 'the eyes of their hearts enlightened (Ephesians 1:18). It is here that we have a means of knowing God and the scriptures which rise high above all and every form of hermeneutics or exegetical discipline. The Holy Spirit alone brings an illuminating power to the mind, 'opening our eyes' through the preaching of the gospel:
In performing this ministry Paul did not use wise and persuasive words but "in demonstration of the Spirit and of power", so that their faith "might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." (2 Cor 2:3-5)
What these and many other references suggest is that our natural minds are as blind eyes when reading and studying the scriptures, no matter our hermeneutic or exegetical training. No matter our knowledge, no matter our title, this is our natural state as men 'born in sin' and 'blind to God.' We literally do not have power to see and even the most renown bible scholar can see no more than a child, without a special illumination of the mind by the Spirit.
As we pause to appreciate how central this makes the Holy Spirit to understanding the Bible, the Holy Spirit must take a very important role in our hermeneutic. Without him we have no hermeneutic which might enable us to understand scripture.
But what does this mean in terms of hermeneutics? It means most of our misunderstanding is due to a hardness of heart, not a literary technical fault. Yes, an adult can understand the Bible in some ways more than a child from a natural standpoint, but the Spirit can reveal to a child things hidden from adults. Therefore, we must pray for knowledge and be obedient to the gospel, if we ever expect to have both a natural hermeneutic and its spiritual counterpart -- a strong annointing of the Holy Spirit. For who alone knows the mind if God and who alone can reveal his thoughts to us:
While we use a natural hermeneutic common to all men to understand words, we use repentance, faith and reliance on the Spirit in prayer, to understand the real thoughts which the letter expresses the mere form of in scripture. The two realms are distinct but not separate. Just as the mind and emotions are different but never without an influence one upon one another, so a spiritual and natural hermeneutic work together to understand God. A sinner uses a wicked heart to misunderstand him. To imagine that truth can objectively be collected, synthesized and communicated -- without emotional, moral and spiritual dependent laws determining the results -- is the fiction of modern day scientific philosophy and has little bearing to the truth as evidenced by our own conscience.
A hermeneutic is essentially nothing more than a bias. Even if that bias be a desire for objectivity, it is a bias at what we believe to be objective. The human heart is also under a bent bias, overruling all technical skill. By defining what our hermeneutic is, it will help enable us to more consistently apply our bias as we feel we should but this only helps us drive into further understanding or further blindness depending on the state of our heart. Everyone has a hermeneutic that will protect and guide our heart's desire. This 'bias' may, or may not, help us understand the scripture depending on how valid the hermeneutic is to begin with. For me, the only objective truthful hermeneutic is to know that all scripture has meaning only in terms of how it relates to Christ.
The scripture recognizes two types of doctrine: carnal thinking and spiritual thinking. Carnal thinking is thinking according to human nature and spiritual thinking is with the new eyes we have by a new birth through faith in Christ - eyes resulting from the work of the Spirit. In this new life we also obtain a body of knowledge. Christ and the doctrine concerning him is the head of this knowledge. Paul explicitly describes carnal thoughts as 'not holding fast to the Head' (Col 2:19). As this Head and the righteousness imputed to us by faith in him pertains to our acceptance before God, it must central to having correct thoughts. If our thoughts break away from this central truth found in the gospel then our hermeneutic is helping our thoughts break away from the head, rather than hold fast to it. Paul, therefore puts a proper hermeneutic in place by insisting all true thoughts lead to Christ. He makes his hermeneutic clear by refusing to boast in anything except Christ and forbids any boasting in anything else, including our own knowledge, hermeneutics, exegetical skills, titles, etc.
But how is it that we are able to see Christ as the only thing worth boasting in and the head of all true thoughts, or biblical understanding of God? Only by the Holy Spirit can we have this knowledge and although every believer has the Spirit to illuminate their mind, and that this 'anointing is true' and 'will guide us into all truth' (John 16:13, 1 John 2:26-27) yet we must actively rely upon the Spirit to illuminate our minds also. If our own participation in the Spirit was not required, then Paul would not pray that the Ephesians would have their 'eyes enlightened' and our knowledge would not be so interconnected with our own obedience, keeping in step with the Spirit and not gratifying the desires of the flesh (Gal 5:16). For true knowledge and wisdom comes from submitting to God's word as a person, not as mere literature.
Therefore as our moral and spiritual state is linearly dependent on our knowledge, if we live a life of sin we do not know scripture. Our eyes can lose the sight we have once obtained and like Samson we can become blinded through sin.
In summary, the Holy Spirit and obedience to Christ, is central to a hermeneutic that is true. All other hermeneutics only drive a wedge deeper between a sinner and God, making the sinner more ignorant and blind then if they had never learned to read at all.

Does polarized light interfere?
Let's do some math in order not to be unsubstantiated.
1. Perpendicular polarizations.
First wave $E_{1x} = E_0\,\cos\omega t$, second wave $E_{2y} = E_0\,\cos(\omega t+\Delta)$. Here $\Delta$ is a phase difference between waves.
Total field: $$\vec{E} = E_0\left(\vec{i}\cos\omega t+\vec{j}\cos(\omega t+\Delta)\right).$$
Intensity: $$I_\perp\sim \langle|\vec{E}|^2\rangle = E_0^2\langle\cos^2\omega t+\cos^2(\omega t+\Delta)\rangle,$$
Finally we've got $I_\perp\sim E_0^2$, which is independent on the phase difference between the waves.
2. Parallel polarizations.
First wave $E_{1x} = E_0\,\cos\omega t$,second wave $E_{2x} = E_0\,\cos(\omega t+\Delta)$.
Total field: $$\vec{E} = \vec{i}E_0\left(\cos\omega t+\cos(\omega t+\Delta)\right).$$
Intensity: $$I_\parallel\sim E_0^2\langle\cos^2\omega t+2\cos\omega t\cos(\omega t+\Delta)+\cos^2(\omega t+\Delta)\rangle=E_0^2(1+\cos\Delta),$$ which nicely depends on the phase shift between the waves.
Yes. In fact, light will only interfere with light of the same polarization. If you take a Mach–Zehnder interferometer, for example, and put a polarization rotating optic (a waveplate) in one of the arms, the interference pattern will lose contrast. If the polarization is rotated 90 degrees, the pattern will vanish completely.
As others have noted, you will not get any intensity modulation from the interference of two linearly polarized light beams with orthogonal polarizations. It's worth noting, though, that this does not mean that beams with perpendicular polarizations don't affect each other. In fact, a counter-propagating pair of beams with orthogonal linear polarizations-- the so-called "lin-perp-lin" configuration-- is the best system for understanding the Sisyphus cooling effect, the explanation of which was a big part of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics.
The superposition of two counter-propagating linearly polarized beams with orthogonal polarizations doesn't give you any modulation of intensity, but does create a polarization gradient. For the lin-perp-lin configuration, you get alternating regions of left- and right-circular polarization, and combined with optical pumping this lets you set up a scenario where you can cool atomic vapors to extremely low temepratures. This makes laser cooling vastly more useful than it would be otherwise, and allows all sorts of cool technologies like atomic fountain clocks.
It's not interference in the sense that is usually meant, but it is a cool phenomenon that results from overlapping beams with different polarizations. So you shouldn't think that just because it doesn't produce a pattern of bright and dark spots it's not interesting.
Your question is quite vague, but in short, the answer is: yes, look it up on wikipedia. But let's be more precise:
As long as the light intensity is low enough to not obtain nonlinear effects, the superposition principle of linear optics is valid. That means, the amplitudes of two electromagnetic (EM) fields sum up, thus yielding interference.
However, since the amplitudes are vectors (while the intensity, being related to the absolute squares of the amplitudes, is a scalar), the interference depends on the relative polarization, the total intensity for two linearly polarized EM waves is
$I = I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{I_1I_2}\cos(\Delta\varphi)$
where $\Delta\varphi$ denotes the angle between the two polarizations. You see that for perpendicular polarization the cosine term vanishes, the intensities just add up and you obtain no interference, while for antiparallel polarization ($\Delta\varphi = 180°$) you obtain destructive interference since the cosine becomes -1. In case you wonder about energy conservation (being proportional to the intensity) keep in mind that only the global energy is conserved while local fluctations are ok.
One final note: The whole thing only works for a well-defined phase relation between two EM waves. That is, only spectral components of the same wavelength can interfere, and the coherence length and time need to be large enough - you won't obtain perfect interference if your light source flickers due to heat for example.
Yes, it does and this property is independent from a particular polarization. So non polarized light gives the same interference pattern.

Yesterday, the electricity was out for a while and I guess some of the fish in my freezer warmed up and juices started flowing out of its bag and into the vent. Now there is a fishy scent creeping up from the back of the fridge. Is this something I can just wait out or should I do something about it? I did clean out the freezer and everything looks immaculate in there now.
After cleaning it well, put a piece of coal in the freezer; this will remove any smells from it within few hours, maybe a day.
I used to put a mid-sized piece of coal inside the refrigerator all the time. This was a piece of advice from my mother and always worked.
Look for a tray or pan that catches condensation beneath the fridge. It should just slide out. Try cleaning that.
Newspaper and kraft paper help absorb odors, so you can find some places to line with a folded newspaper or brown paper bag. Some layers under the ice cube tray and on the bottom of the freezer.
Baking soda also works, in an open container or just a whole open box.
If none of that does the trick ... I once fumigated a roach infested apartment with the refrigerator door open. Long story, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. The fridge was empty, unplugged, and full of roaches. My skin crawls just remembering that apartment. The net result was that the fridge smelled like roach spray. I had to run it with the door open for several days, empty, pouring cool air into the room, before the smell finally disappeared.
In one of my units I had a smelly freezer. Cleaning all the surfaces didn't seem to help. I had to unscrew the plastic lining on the bottom of it and there was some disgusting ooze underneath. Probably from some meat juices that leaked there.
So keep looking or a spot where spoiled juices might have leaked

Hi John,
The screws have been readily available in a special store : fabory, where I get my BSW threads as well. The brass tube is a ready made one, 6mm standard but you have to cut it to length with a tube cutting instrument. First you have to fit the tube to let the screw go through. Then you have to make them go through the hole in the lower rail by grinding them down with 260 paper to fit the hole.
I'll send the screws and the plate tomorrow. I think this is the quickest and easiest way to solve the problem. It is specially hard alloy I used. May be Nick can make a copy for everyone in case there is a question for this spacer.
Pleasure to help you, this is a special part of Nodal Ninja Fanotec service.-)
Thanks again Heinz and Fanotec!
Thx to you Nick,
we all are happy with your engagement to the questions of customers.
Hi folks,
The latest version of the Nadir Adapter uses a 1/4" BSW thread screw for the third screw in place of 5mm diameter one. This one has to be adapted to the rail.
Just to let you know. I was surprised, because John asked me about this screw and that it won't fit. The new one is on it's way.
@Nick, there is a question for another spacer. How can it be ordered? Thx.
so i guess there is no point iin me ordering a nadir adapter for my 14-24 at this point then, what a kerfuffle.
Kidraver...even with the camera not fully pointed up, a zenith shot is still possible.....it's just that I'm a perfectionist lol. Also, as mentioned earlier by Heinz, a temporary measure is to increase the distance of the upper rail for the zenith shot. For what it's worth, i took a zenith shot at least 15 degrees out and it still stitched.
Nice one, thanks for that, bit of clarity never 'urt anyone, i am actually fascinated to see how a large spherical shot with a bigger lens looks without a nadir and a zenith, probably crap, lol.
For a high quality lens like the 14-24 mm, I guess whether you take the zenith shot at +90 deg or +75 deg, you won't see any difference. In fact sometimes, it helps to take a "zenth" shot at a lower angle to include more features to link the other images.
Anyhow, we are making the spacer for the nadir adapter and will be offered at a very low price.
We listen. We try harder.

- PIO Number: 01-8-27 Case Number: PB01-08-6360 (UPDATED)
- Date: August 21, 2001
- Time: 1635
- Place of Occurrence: 100 NW 7 Terrace Apt. #3, Pompano Beach
- Steve Cipriano, 44, 11/16/56, male, 11831 NW 39 Place, Sunrise
- Marvin Harp, 23, 2/15/78, male, 110 NW 7 Avenue Apt #8, Pompano Beach
Description of Incident:
After identifying an angry passenger who sprayed a bus driver in the face with pepper spray, Broward Sheriff's Office detectives took him into custody one week after the incident.
BSO detectives identified Marvin Harp after receiving an anonymous tip from Crime Stoppers, shortly after the surveillance tape of the incident was shown on television newscasts. Harp was located about 4:30 Tuesday afternoon and taken into custody at a friend's apartment, located at 100 NW 7 Terrace in Pompano Beach.
During questioning, Harp admitted to detectives that he pepper sprayed Steve Cipriano in the face last Tuesday as he exited a Broward County Mass Transit bus shortly before 9 a.m. in the 800 block of Hammondville Road in Pompano Beach. Harp said he was upset that Cipriano was driving slow and caused him to miss work at his day labor job.
Harp has been booked into the Broward County jail and faces one count of battery on a public transit employee. He is being held on a $2,500 bond amount.

- abstract
We experimentally test whether intentional and observable discriminatory pay of symmetric agents in the Winter (2004) game causes low paid agents to reduce effiort. We control for intentionality of wages by either allowing a principal to determine wages or by implementing a random process. Our main observations are that discrimination has no negative effiect on effiorts and principals do not shy away from using discriminatory pay if it is observable. Rather, with experience discrimination enhances efficiency as it facilitates coordination among agents. The only evidence for reciprocity is that subjects receiving a low payment from a principal (discriminatory or not) exert signiïcantly less effort.

Continuum Aquatics Phyto-Blast Wide Range Phytoplankton Complex
Product Manuals & Documentation
Description: Wide Range Aquacultured Phytoplankton Complex
• Wide Range, aquacultured phytoplankton Complex
• Provides proteins, naturally occurring lipids and vitamins
• Rich in chlorophyll, carotenoids and xanthins
Phyto•Blast is a nutritious complex of several naturally occuring marine phytoplankton in a wide range of sizes from 1 to 20 uM. Phyto•Blast is real phytoplankton, aquacultured in saltwater under pristine conditions, not simply a mixture of freshwater algae or ground up vegetables. It provides for growth and increased coloration, by providing proteins, naturally occuring lipids, including important omega fatty acids EPA and DHA, and a wide range of vitamins. It also contains chlorophyll, carotenoids, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin for coloration. Phyto•Blast does not require refrigeration, but refrigeration will prolong shelf life.
Use in Aquarium Keeping:
Phyto•Blast is useful for feeding hard and soft corals, sponges, filter feeding worms, tunicates and clams of all types. It is particularly suited for those that feed on microplankton. It is recommended that you turn off your protein skimmer and other filtration for 15 to 30 minutes prior to adding the Phyto•Blast to the aquarium. Be careful when feeding liquid foods, not to overload the system. It is recommended that you not add more than the recommended dosage of any food per day. Continuum recommends that the hobbyist vary the types and sizes of foods delivered into the reef aquarium. Other Continuum foods that make good choices for this food rotation include Coral Exponential, Micro•Blast, Zoo•Blast and Ocean Snow. Also, occasionallly blending the foods and using them as soaks for other foods will give your invertebrates a variety simulating nature. Vary the time of day for feeding, as well, being sure to feed at night for those organisms that primarily feed nocturnally. Many corals feed primarily at night, extending their tentacles and mesentarial filaments, using their nematocysts to capture prey, and entraping prey on their sticky tentacles with mucus and drawing it into their mouths.
Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 50 US-gallons (200 L) of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week, in an area of high flow.
Expert Use:
Target feeding is the best method of addition. Use a turkey baster, pipette, or similar tool to release upstream of animals to be fed. Do not touch corals with tool. Do not insert tool into this bottle, particularly do not allow aquarium water to enter the bottle, to do so will introduce bacteria into the product and accelerate its decomposition. Instead, pour appropriate amount of Phyto•Blast into a cup and use the tool in the cup. Feed all that you pour and do not return any product to the container (again to prevent contamination).
Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Contains phytoplankton, if ingested drink water. If in eyes flush with water.

PhytoBlast works great!
2/25/2014 from PALMDALE, CA UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
I bought some bivalves (maxima & crocea clams) to add to my existing mixed reef and bought this item to feed them. After three weeks of use everything looks better in my tank color, vigor, etc. Side note my pod's go crazy after feeding which my Mandarins love!

Looking at the ceiling and floor and art is exhilarating and all, but if I want to just skip to the gameplay on future playthroughs rather than listen to Wheatley for those couple minutes, is there a way to do that?
I'm afraid the only way to do so is restoring a save point after the initial intro. If you make a save file from the menu, it will not be automatically deleted from the game.
Open the developer console (with ~, after enabling it in the options), then enter the following command:
or wherever else you would like to start. If you're not currently in a game, you might need to use the map command to start one (i don't quite fully understand the difference)
Another option is to speed up that part by using
Alternatively, you can use the positioning commands (also in cheats mode) to quickly teleport you there but then Wheatley will not be on par with you which might or might not be a problem for that part. The commands you will need are
Aliasing them and putting them in one of the config files that gets loaded offers you a quick way to skip.

If I want to completely uninstall an application from the home screen or list of applications; how do I do it?
You can uninstall an application from the Market or from the Manage Applications settings screen.
From Marketplace:
From Manage Applications:
EDIT: I wanted to add a 3rd method that Rohan Singh had in his answer.
From your Home screen:
Go to settings->Applications->Manage applications
Select the application you want to remove.
Click uninstall.
Not all applications may be removed (some are locked down by your carrier / phone vendor).
A quick, easy way to uninstall an application is to hold down on its icon, and then drag it to the trash can at the bottom of the screen like you would if you were removing a shortcut from your home screen. However, hold the icon over the trash can for a few seconds until "Drop to uninstall" appears.
By using adb from command line:

I currently had a browser enabled InfoPath form which would open from SharePoint. I recently made changes in SharePoint Designer (specifics here, it's the accepted answer: Simple way to color code a column in a document library?) and now my InfoPath form will still open in a browser and can be saved, but if I want to modify it, it wont let me open the form in a browser. It has to be opened in the client application. Any help/suggestions as to how I can modify it through the browser?
Wouldn't you just want to use rules within InfoPath to handle that? You can create display rules based on the value of fields.
just check what is the extension of the form- .xsn or .xml?
fyi .xml will open in browser and .xsn will open in client

Test Trouble
Q: My daughter does a lot of studying for tests, but on test day she freezes. If the questions are not asked in the way she studied for them, she does poorly on the test. What advice can you offer us?
A: Unfortunately, your daughter isn't studying correctly for tests. If she were, her grades would reflect the good effort she is making. Your daughter needs to know the exact format of each test before she ever starts to study for it. If she doesn't, she needs to ask the teacher in order to avoid unpleasant surprises on test day.
To be successful on different types of tests, your daughter will have to learn to prepare for each one in a special way. On multiple-choice and matching tests, the correct answer is actually on the test. To do well, your daughter must be able to recall specific details such as dates, names, and definitions of key terms. The same is true for short-answer tests, only she will be expected to spell her answers correctly. Much memorization is required for these tests.
For essay tests, your daughter will need to understand the big picture with some knowledge of supporting details. The most difficult type of test to prepare for is probably true-false, as it can deal with both major issues and specific facts. Many teachers will combine several types of questions on a test. In order to learn how to prepare well for tests, you and your daughter should read a good study-skills book.
Here are some general hints about preparing for tests:
1. Frequently review new and difficult material several days before a test so that it is truly learned.
2. Answer all questions on study guides.
3. Do all the review work at the end of a chapter.
4. Make up and answer your own test questions.
5. Study past tests carefully to see where your errors are being made.

Evan Agostini/Associated Press
Evan Agostini/Associated Press
NEW YORK � New �America�s Got Talent� judge Howard Stern says that his critics should watch before attacking him.
Stern debuts Monday as Piers Morgan�s replacement on NBC�s summertime talent show. Yet a group that calls attention to bad language and risqu� content on television has already written to advertisers asking them to stay away. The Parents Television Council said the radio shock jock�s addition �will likely result in a sharp increase in explicit content.�
In an hour-long, expletive-free news conference on Thursday, Stern dismissed those concerns and said that he fully understands that �America�s Got Talent� is a family show.
�I really feel a responsibility to the people who love this show already,� Stern said. �In no way do I want to get in the way of it. I want to broaden it and make it better.�
Stern said his critics �are entitled to their opinion. They just sound awfully foolish when they haven�t seen the show.�
Still, his reputation precedes him. Stern noted that before an appearance on �The View� Thursday, executive producer Bill Geddie came over to instruct Stern on what he could or couldn�t say on the air. �I know the rules,� Stern said. �Bill, I�m 58 years old. I feel like I�m 14� getting a lecture, he said.
NBC moved the show�s base from California to Newark, N.J., to accommodate Stern�s satellite radio schedule when he agreed to replace Morgan. He said he has taken the role of being the �honest� judge who doesn�t sugarcoat things for contestants.
Stern said he was a fan of the show before being asked to be on it, preferring it to �American Idol� because the wider variety of acts on �America�s Got Talent� makes it seem like vaudeville.
�I didn�t need the money,� he said. �I didn�t need more fame. I certainly feel famous enough. I�m comfortable in my life. I just love the show and thought how much fun it would be to do it.�
He�s paired with Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne as judges, and he offered praise of their work. He flashed attitude about some rivals, though: �American Idol� makes him want to throw up, he said, and host Ryan Seacrest is �tired.�
�J.Lo, I don�t even know what she�s doing there,� he said of �American Idol� judge Jennifer Lopez. Of Britney Spears, under consideration as a new judge on �The X Factor,� he said people are going to tune in to see �if she can function through the whole thing.�
Stern said he thinks his radio audience is ready to see him try something new. He�s curious about how it turns out; his usual experience is turning around a low-performing asset, but in �America�s Got Talent,� he�s joining a show that already has a successful track record.
�If it doesn�t work, I�ll crawl back into my hole at Sirius and lick my wounds,� he said. �If it does work, I�ll be thrilled.�

Projected crude production is expected to average 7.3 million bpd in 2013 and 7.9 million bpd in 2014. EIA expects total consumption to rise slightly over the next two years to an average of 18.7 million bpd.
The latest short-term report from the US Energy Information
Administration (EIA) anticipates that the Brent crude oil spot
price, which averaged $112/bbl in 2012 and rose to $119/bbl in
early February 2013, will average $108/bbl in 2013 and $101/bbl
in 2014.
The projected discount of West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude oil to Brent, which increased to a
monthly average of more than $20/bbl in February 2013, will
average $16/bbl in 2013 and $9/bbl in 2014, as planned new
pipeline capacity lowers the cost of moving mid-continent crude
oil to Gulf Coast refining centers.
US crude oil production exceeded an average level of 7 million
bpd in November and December 2012, the highest volume since
December 1992. EIA estimates that US total crude oil production
averaged 6.5 million bpd in 2012, an increase of 0.8 million
bpd from the previous year. Projected domestic crude oil
production is expected to average 7.3 million bpd in 2013 and
7.9 million bpd in 2014.
Total US liquid fuels consumption fell from 20.8 million bpd in
2005 to 18.6 million bpd in 2012. The EIA expects total
consumption to rise slightly over the next two years, to an
average of 18.7 million bpd in 2014, driven by increases in
distillate fuel and liquefied petroleum gas consumption, with
little change in gasoline and jet fuel consumption.
The weekly US average regular gasoline retail price fell in
early March for the first time since mid-December. The March 11
average was $3.71/gal, down $0.07/gal from February 25.
The EIA expects that lower crude oil prices will result in
monthly average regular gasoline prices staying near the
February average of $3.67/gal over the next few months, with
the annual average regular gasoline retail price declining from
$3.63/gal in 2012 to $3.55/gal in 2013 and to $3.38/gal in
2014. However, energy price forecasts are highly uncertain, and
current values of futures and options contracts suggest that
prices could differ from this forecast.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

The mystical combination of horse and
man is found throughout mythology. A horse's body with a man's torso
attached is the classic centaur coloring page. Usually, centaurs are shown
as kind animals who enjoy nature and a bit of fun, and that is not too far
from the truth. In actual mythology, centaurs were wild creatures who were
very defensive but did love a good party. They kept to the woods where they
often partied late into the night, but if they caught an intruder, they
were more like to trample him than invite him into the festivities.

Let $S_{d>3}\subset\mathbb{P}^3_{\mathbb{C}}$ be a smooth surface of degree $d$. What is known (where to read?) about the Picard/cohomology lattice for small d?
e.g. for $d=4$ the cohomology lattice is $E_8^{\oplus2}\oplus H^{\oplus3}$, but what is the class of a hyperplane section in this lattice? Probably many things are known for $d=5,6$? (I need the results for any smooth $S_d$, not necessarily generic.)
And what is known for "not-too-singular" $S_d$? (e.g. with nodes only)
upd. I guess any two smooth surfaces of the same degree in $\mathbb{P}^3$ have the same cohomology lattice? I want to know this lattice and in particular what is the plane section in this lattice, i.e. $\mathcal{O}(1)$.
\ In my actual problem I have a curve lying on such a surface, want to identify its equivalence class. (If you wish: the $\mathbb{P}^3$-degree of $C$ is $\frac{d(d-1)}{2}$, the self-intersection on $S_d$ is: $C^2=\frac{d(d-1)(d-2)}{6}$, so the arithmetic genus is: $p_a=\frac{(2d+1)(d-2)(d-3)}{6}$. Such a curve is quite special, lying on the surface it forces the surface to be rather special too.)
So, I'd need as much information as possible about $S_{d>3}\subset\mathbb{P}^3$. Such a very-classical geometry.

Unanswered: Can make a tap on a panel or in a container?
I created a panel/container to use as a button, formatted it all in css and wanted to make a tap to apply a control.
Is this possible?
Best Regards,
Hugo Trigo
11 Jan 2013 11:49 AM #2
There is not tap listener for a panel so the short answer is no, you can't listen to a non-existing tap listener.
What u can do is to place an item which does have a tap listener in that panel and listen that item's tap listener.
For example:
Ext.define("WeFind.view.APanel", { extend: 'Ext.Panel', config: { items: [ { xtype: 'image', src: './resources/images/SomeImage.png', listeners: { tap:{ fn: function() { //Do something or call some function. } } } } ] } }
14 Jan 2013 2:43 AM #3
I tried to run the listener on the panel and it did not work!
I don't can get in the picture, why not have picture. I called the image through the html code.
Thanks & Best Regards

Vera Wang made her name years ago with her bridal gowns and red-carpet splendor, but it's the designer's ready-to-wear aesthetic that best captures a sense of how she likes women to dress. "It's very yin and yang," she says of her fall collection, which features "high" looks for day and low" for night. She singles out a deep-armhole vest and a pink-and-purple Lurex tunic as examples. "I like that tension between relaxed and structured." Wang's own working uniform follows that principle, with black leggings and slouchy knit tops that evoke the former competitive figure skater she is.
