Generally when one takes the FFT of a signal it "works" over the whole bandwidth dividing up the spectrum into chunks given by the resolution. If the bandwidth of the signal is 10khz and your resolution is 1000 then each "frequency" represents a chunk of 10hz(each bin is 10hz in size).
The problem with this method is that it gives the same "size" to each bin even though lower frequencies loose resolution. e.g., a 10hz bin around 25hz frequency contains much more information than 10hz at 8kz. This issue is not hard to fix with the analytical FT since it is just a matter of scale. Is it possible adapt the FFT to have a frequency dependent bin-size?
Essentially when we divide up the frequency range into n chunks we want lower frequencies to have more accuracy since they are lower frequencies.
e.g., I might want a resolution of 0.1hz in the lower frequencies and 10hz in the higher frequencies. The problem with the current FFT is that we must use the highest resolution overall. That is, Because I want a 0.1hz resolution in the lower frequencies I MUST have an 0.1hz resolution in the higher resolutions. This means I'll require a much higher n-point transform than I really need.

Innovation award finalist highlights updated order picking cart
Bob Brackle, national sales manager for material handling, and Phil Gottstine, sales engineer, stand with ProMat Innovation Award finalist cart #99664.
One of the ProMat Innovation Awards finalists, New Age Industrial (Booth 2341), showcased how its #99664 order picking cart can be used to improve picking and putaway efficiency in distribution centers by as much as 25% at a press conference Wednesday.
The same aluminum cart can be rolled on casters or transported by an orderpicker forklift. By providing multiple levels of product access, the customizable cart enables new and more efficient paths through a facility. Shelves can be easily removed or adjusted on the fly, accommodating a variety of product dimensions.
According to sales engineer Phil Gottstine, the cart improves ergonomics for order selectors who no longer need to work solely from a floor-level pallet. Popular for returns and restocking, the cart is one third of the weight of traditional steel carts and handles as much as three times the typical capacity of a single standard pallet.
ProMat 2013 is scheduled to be held January 21-24, 2013 in Chicago's McCormick Place South. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete ProMat 2013 coverage.

5 Psychological Experiments That Prove Humanity is Doomed
#2. The Stanford Prison Experiment (1971)
The Setup:
Psychologist Philip Zimbardo wanted to find out how captivity affects authorities and inmates in prison. Sounds innocent enough. Seriously, what could go wrong?
Zimbardo transformed the Stanford Psychology Department's basement into a mock prison. Subjects volunteered by simply responding to a newspaper ad ...
Not the actual ad
... and then passing a test proving good health and high-quality mental stability, which are very important factors in deciding who goes to prison. These volunteers were all male college students who were then divided arbitrarily into 12 guards and 12 prisoners. Zimbardo himself decided that he wanted to play too, and elected himself Prison Superintendent. The simulation was planned to run for two weeks.
Yep, nothing at all can go wrong with this.
The Result:
It took about one day for every subject to suddenly go as insane as a shit-house rat. On only the second day, prisoners staged a riot in the faux detention center, with prisoners barricading their cells with their beds and taunting the guards. The guards saw this as a pretty good excuse to start squirting fire extinguishers at the insurgents because, hey, why the hell not?
From that point on, the Stanford Prison that had already gone to hell, just continued to ricochet around in hell for day after day. Some guards began forcing inmates to sleep naked on the concrete, restricting the bathroom as a privilege (one that was often denied). They forced prisoners to do humiliating exercises and had them clean toilets with their bare hands.
Incredibly, when "prisoners" were told they had a chance at parole, and then the parole was denied, it didn't occur to them to simply ask out of the damned experiment. Remember they had absolutely no legal reason to be imprisoned, it was just a damned role-playing exercise. This fact continued to escape them as they sat naked in their own filth, with bags on their heads.
Over 50 outsiders had stopped to observe the prison, but the morality of the trial was never questioned until Zimbardo's girlfriend, Christina Maslach, strongly objected. After only six days, Zimbardo put a halt to the experiment (several of the "guards" expressed disappointment at this). If you were about to applaud Maslach as the only sane person involved in this clusterfuck, you should know that she went on to marry Zimbardo, the guy who orchestrated the whole thing.
What This Says About You:
Ever been harassed by a cop who acted like a major douchebag, pushing you around for no reason? Science says that if the roles were reversed, you'd likely act the same way.
As it turns out, it's usually fear of repercussion that keeps us from torturing our fellow human beings. Give us absolute power over somebody and a blank check from our superiors, and Abu Ghraib-esque naked pyramids are sure to follow. Hey, if it can happen to a bunch of Vietnam-era hippie college students, it sure as hell could happen to you.
#1. The Milgram Experiment (1961)
The Setup:
When the prosecution of the Nazis got underway at the Nuremberg Trials, many of the defendants' excuse seemed to revolve around the ideas of, "I'm not really a prick" and, "Hey man, I was just following orders." Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram wanted to test willingness of subjects to obey an authority figure. Maybe he could just, you know, ask people? Oh, hell no. That would not be nearly horrifying enough.
Instead he ran an experiment where the subject was told he was a "teacher" and that his job was to give a memory test to another subject, located in another room. The whole thing was fake and the other subject was an actor.
The subject was told that whenever the other guy gave an incorrect answer, he was to press a button that would give him an electric shock. A guy in a lab coat was there to make sure he did it (again no real shock was being delivered, but the subject of course did not know this).
The subject was told that the shocks started at 45 volts and would increase with every wrong answer. Each time they pushed the button, the actor on the other end would scream and beg for the subject to stop.
So, can you guess how this went?
The Result:
Many subjects began to feel uncomfortable after a certain point, and questioned continuing the experiment. However, each time the guy in the lab coat encouraged them to continue. Most of them did, upping the voltage, delivering shock after shock while the victim screamed. Many subjects would laugh nervously, because laughter is the best medicine when pumping electrical currents through another person's body.
Eventually the actor would start banging on the wall that separated him from the subject, pleading about his heart condition. After further shocks, all sounds from victim's room would cease, indicating he was dead or unconscious. If you had to guess, what percentage of the subjects kept delivering shocks after that point?
Five percent? Ten?
Between 61 and 66 percent of subjects would continue the experiment until it reached the maximum voltage of 450, continuing to deliver shocks after the victim had been zapped into unconsciousness or the afterlife. Repeated studies have shown the same result: Subjects will mindlessly deliver pain to an innocent stranger as long as a dude in a lab coat says it's OK.
Most subjects wouldn't begin to object until after 300-volt shocks. Zero of them asked to stop the experiment before that point (keep in mind 100 volts is enough to kill a man, in some cases).
What This Says About You:
You might like to think of yourself as a free-thinking marauder, but when it comes down to it, odds are you won't stick it to The Man because of the fear The Man will stick it right back up your ass. And this was just a guy in a lab coat--imagine if he'd had a uniform, or a badge.
Charles Sheridan and Richard King took this experiment one step further, but asked subjects to shock a puppy for every incorrect action it made. Unlike Milgram's experiment, this shock was real. Exactly 20 out of 26 subjects went to the highest voltage.
Almost 80 percent. Think about that when you're walking around the mall: Eight out of ten of those people you see would torture the shit out of a puppy if a dude in a lab coat asked them to.

SAN ANTONIO (April 1, 2013) – San Antonio Rampage General Manager Mike Santos announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club returned forwards Josh Birkholz and David Pacan, defenseman Brian O'Hanley and goaltender Brian Foster to the team's ECHL affiliate, the Cincinnati Cyclones.
Birkholz, 22, earned his first recall of the season after attending training camp with the Rampage and suited up in four games for the Silver in Black. The third-round draft pick (67th overall) by the Florida Panthers has recorded 11 goals and eight assists for the Cyclones this season in 47 games with the club. Birkholz is in his first professional season after spending the last two years with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League where he recorded 47 goals and 39 assists in 138 combined games.
Pacan, 22, was recalled to San Antonio for the fourth time this season and has recorded two assists in nine games for the Rampage this year. Pacan is tied for the lead on the Cyclones with 38 assists and has tallied 52 points in 57 games, good for second on the team. Pacan, the sixth-round selection (177th overall) of the Chicago BlackHawks in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, spent the last two seasons with the Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League and played in 133 games, recording 49 goals and 77 assists. During the IceDogs playoff run last year, Pacan averaged 1.00 points per game on eight goals and 12 assists in 20 games as the club made it to the Robertson Cup Finals.
O'Hanley, 28, suited up in 25 games for the Rampage and recorded six assists and 19 penalty minutes. The 5-foot-11, 191-pound defenseman started the season in Cincinnati and played in 37 games for the Cyclones, tallying two goals and 17 assists in that span. The Quincy, Mass., native played in 44 AHL games last season between the Syracuse Crunch, Peoria Rivermen and Worchester Sharks, totaling four goals and four assists. O'Hanley recorded 14 goals and 43 assists in 166 games over the course of three seasons with the Cyclones (2008-11). He was drafted in the ninth round (#267 overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks.
Foster, 26, made his first start of the season for the Rampage in Friday's 4-1 win over Grand Rapids and stopped a career-high 39 of 40 shots en route to being named First Star of the Game. Foster surrendered three goals in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Charlotte in his second start of the year for the Rampage. He has appeared in 32 games for the Cyclones this season and owns a 19-7-4 record. The 6-foot-2, 186-pound goaltender also sports a 0.907 save percentage and a 2.67 goals-against average for Cincinnati. Foster, who was drafted by the Panthers in the fifth round (161 overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, played in 12 games for the Rampage last season, posting a 4-6-0 record.
The Rampage will face the Chicago Wolves at 7 p.m. on Tuesday on an All-You-Can-Eat Game at AT&T Center. Tickets for all remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

Combo with store triggers store load, without autoLoad
When a store is assigned to a Combo, the store is loaded, even though the store should not autoLoad.
A filter is also applied, it includes the data-index av property, but no value.
When the same store is assigned to more than one combo the store is loaded several times, each store ads a filter.
Know issue?
I've tested with several versions, latest is with 126.96.36.1990Sven Tore Iversen

OK, but ignore the multiple combos, then.
In 4.1 I could use the same store on multiple combos just fine.
The error is there with just one combo.
The problem, really, is that when the combo adds the filter to the store the store is loaded, even though the store is autoLoad:false if the store has remoteFilter:true.
Why does the combo add a filter to the store? The filter data only contains a property, not a value. The value is not sent to the server as a part of the filter, it is sent as a query parameter.
This code should NOT trigger a request:

http://www.example.com/rest/users/?_dc=1363019458867&page=1&start=0&limit=25&filter=%5B%7B%22property%22%3A%22name%22%7D%5D _dc:1363019458867 page:1 start:0 limit:25 filter:[{"property":"name"}]
_dc:1363019723543 query:test page:1 start:0 limit:25 filter:[{"property":"name"}]
Is this really the intended behavior?
It triggers to many problematic request for the backend. The server does not currently accept "filter" with only property and no "value". Also sending "all data" for every combo using the same data on opening the application is simply to slow. In my application the user will always search, and the store always gets additional filters before they are loaded.Sven Tore Iversen

Yes, I see.
It adds the filter just for future use. It's disabled so it should not cause any immediate effect.
I will add a ticket.

This will be fixed in 4.2.1, but as a workaround, try this override:
Ext.override(Ext.data.Store, { filter: function(filters, value) { if (Ext.isString(filters)) { filters = { property: filters, value: value }; } var me = this, decoded = me.decodeFilters(filters), i, doLocalSort = me.sorters.length && me.sortOnFilter && !me.remoteSort, length = decoded.length, allDisabled = true; // Merge new filters into current filter set. for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { me.filters.replace(decoded[i]); } // Cheack that we have some enabled filters before attempting to filter for (i = 0, length = me.filters.items.length; i < length; i++) { if (!me.filters.items[i].disabled) { allDisabled = false; break; } } if (!allDisabled) { if (me.remoteFilter) { // So that prefetchPage does not consider the store to be fully loaded if the local count is equal to the total count delete me.totalCount; // For a buffered Store, we have to clear the prefetch cache because the dataset will change upon filtering. // Then we must prefetch the new page 1, and when that arrives, reload the visible part of the Store // via the guaranteedrange event if (me.buffered) { me.data.clear(); me.loadPage(1); } else { // Reset to the first page, the filter is likely to produce a smaller data set me.currentPage = 1; //the load function will pick up the new filters and request the filtered data from the proxy me.load(); } } else { /** * @property {Ext.util.MixedCollection} snapshot * A pristine (unfiltered) collection of the records in this store. This is used to reinstate * records when a filter is removed or changed */ if (me.filters.getCount()) { me.snapshot = me.snapshot || me.data.clone(); // Filter the unfiltered dataset using the filter set me.data = me.snapshot.filter(me.filters.items); // Groups will change when filters change me.constructGroups(); if (doLocalSort) { me.sort(); } else { // fire datachanged event if it hasn't already been fired by doSort me.fireEvent('datachanged', me); me.fireEvent('refresh', me); } } } } me.fireEvent('filterchange', me, me.filters.items); } });Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

Thanks.. Initial testing of the override seems to do the trick - Also working fine (afaik) with using the same store on multiple combos (In my case they should always display the same data, even if it is filtered etc)Sven Tore Iversen
14 Mar 2013 11:35 AM #10
I had the same issue described with the store loading on my combo's with remoteFilter:true. I applied the patch and that issue was resolved. However...
I have grids with the following settings on their store:
- In ExtJS 4.1.1 I would manually load my grids and autoLoad wasn't set or was set to false
- In ExtJS 4.2.0 my grid now auto loads (causing a double initial load in my case).
If I set all three remote options to false (and only then), then the store does not auto load as I had come to expect in ExtJS 4.1.1

I'm a student (I've been studying mathematics 4 years at the university) and I like functional analysis and topology, but I only studied 6 credits of functional analysis and 7 in topology (the basics). What I am looking for is good books that I could understand to go deeper in this areas, what do you recommend? (I can read in Spanish, English, French and German)
I am an algebraist and not an analyst, however my favourite book on this area is "Walter Rudin: Functional Analysis".
I am not an analyst of any sort, so you do not need to listen to me, but I really like Lax's "Functional Analysis".
Some of the good books are:
$\textbf{Note.}$ The books which are written in Italics are the ones which I have read partially. The ones which are not in Italics are the ones which I have come to know (by friends, teachers) are good books in Functional Analysis. Also, I really don't know which publisher actually publishes the book in foreign edition written by Kesavan and Bhatia.
You might be interested in "Analysis Now" by Pedersen. A very nice book on graduate level analysis in my opinion. It covers some areas of functional analysis as well.
I would suggest the book by Haim Brezis: Analyse fonctionnelle, theorie et applications. It was recently translated into English and you can find the information for the English translation here.
Since you read German, my favorite is Funktionalanalysis by Dirk Werner. It's not necessarily comprehensive, but it covers a lot, has extensive historical remarks, and is extremely well-written -- I find it more readable than most math books in English (my first language).
John B. Conway's "A course in functional analysis" is also pretty decent.
There's no reason to listen to me either, but for delving a bit deeper, you might want to check out T. W. Körner's Fourier Analysis. The book consists of very short (often just a couple of pages) chapters which contain gems like computing the age of the Earth.
When I was studying, I was influenced much by K. Yosida's "Functional Analysis".
Apart from the classics already mentioned (Yosida, Brezis, Rudin), a good book of functional analysis that I think is suitable not only as a reference but also for self-study, is Fabian, Habala et al. Functional Analysis and Infinite-Dimensional Geometry. It has a lot of nice exercises, it's less abstract than the usual book and provides a lot of "concrete" theorems.
And I'm not sure about it, but I heard there is a spanish translation (the original is of course in english).
I'd recommend the Dunford and Schwartz. It's a classic. It's huge -- three volumes. But you don't have to read the whole series cover-to-cover. If you read half of the first volume, you'll learn about as much as reading many other books on functional analysis. Volume 1 alone is big, but it's easy to read for a book on its subject.
Zimmer's Essential Results of Functional Analysis is a very interesting read, specially if you already know some basic stuff in functional analysis.
The book on Functional Analysis by Meise and Vogt
is quite comphrensive and contains beside standard functional analysis more advanced sections on the theory of locally convex spaces. There is also a German version if you want to improve your German by reading both together.
I personally like a recent book of Helemskii Lectures and Exercises on Functional Analysis. One of the differences with other books on the subject is that it uses the categorical point of view. The author starts with a very brief introduction to the category theory and uses this language throughout the book. It's a sort of modern core of FA book, with a sidelines to some physics applications and of historic nature, a terse advertisement of the quantum functional analysis and so on (but there is no measure theory, Radon Nikodym theorem etc. which are elaborated in many excellent old textbooks.) Also it gives somewhat broader picture of FA sketching some directions and stating from time to time theorems without proofs 'that every student should know'.
I have learnt Functional Analysis from Peter Lax himself. His book is his notes. Exactly the same notes as the ones he handed to us. Every chapter consists of one two-hours long lecture in a two semester graduate course on Functional Analysis. There are a few mistakes here and there, but this book is really ALIVE! It is as if you are in a class of Peter Lax! (I should note here that, Lax's book is published a long time after I left Courant, and at that time the recommended textbook was Yosida's book together with Dunford & Schwartz.)
Having said all these, I should add that as an undergraduate student, I had taken two semesters of Functional Analysis which covered a part of Rudin's book. I still use this book sometimes, as some topics are presented in a beautiful way, but I believe that it is far from introductory, as it starts with Topological Vector Spaces, and it takes a while before normed spaces are mentioned.
In a course I'm taking now, we're using Gerald Teschl's "Topics in Real and Functional Analysis". It seems like you may already know the first few chapters, however.
It's quite well written, and is free: http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/ftp/book-fa/index.html
My preferred text(s) for functional analysis are
(1) B.V. Limaye, Functional Analysis
(2) P.D. Lax, Functional Analysis
(3) R. Larsen, Functional Analysis
Book by Larsen introduces seminormed linear spaces, which in my opinion has enough generali
Let me add to this list of suggestions the nice and recent book by J. Cerda "Linear Functional Analysis", Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 116, AMS-RSME, 2010.

I remember that a few years ago, I watched a YouTube video about Qigong. In that video, there is a man who cannot be lifted easily by other people when he does not use Qigong force, but when he does use his Qigong force, somehow others cannot lift him easily anymore. I tried to search for that video again, but couldn't find it.
Also, do you believe in what that man did in the video? If that is true, then Einstein theories needs to be modified, as people found a new force besides gravity and nuclear force.

Reading and Citing
How to Read a Scientific Article
Don't try to read the entire article, from start to finish, all at once. Instead, take a step-by-step approach.
- Read the abstract. The abstract is a brief summary of the article. It should give you an overview of what the paper is about and what the authors' research accomplished. If the content of the paper does not seem to meet your expectations and will not help you answer your questions, you may want to choose another article.
- Skim the article. Look at the section headings and any figures or tables, taking time to read the captions.
- Go back and carefully read the entire article, section by section. Write down any questions you have about the article while you're reading it; that way, you can see if the authors answer your questions later in the article. Focus on the Introduction, Results, and Conclusion, and don't get bogged down in the Methods section.
Note: Look up any words that you don't understand. Use a science dictionary for scientific terms. If you still don't understand some concepts in the article, even after reading it several times, ask your instructor for help.
Pechenik JA. c2001. A short guide to writing about biology. 4th ed. Boston (MA): Longman. 318 p.
Elements of a Scientific Article
The title of the article, the authors' names, and the authors' addresses are usually the first prominent parts of the article.
The authors' addresses are provided to show their affiliation with a particular research institution and allow other scientists to contact them regarding their research:
The abstract is a paragraph summarizing the content of the article. Read the abstract first to see if the article will be useful to your research.
The introduction presents the research question being asked. It explains the context of the research and often discusses previous work that was done on the topic.
The methods section (sometimes called materials and methods) discusses how the research was conducted. It explains what materials were used and what procedures were followed to perform an experiment.
This section presents the results of the research. The information is often presented in a table or chart format and show statistical calculations performed on the data.
Concluding Remarks
In the conclusion, the authors explain how the results of their research have addressed their research question. They may suggest where further research is needed.
The references section presents publications that the author cited in his or her work. Read the articles the author has cited to find out more about your topic.
Evaluating Resources
One of the most important aspects of the research process is evaluating the quality of sources to determine their reliability and usefulness. Depending on the topic of your research, you will encounter many types of potential resources, including books, articles and websites. But not everything that you find on your topic will be suitable.
The following resources will help you evaluate the quality of a source:
- Evaluating Information Tutorial from UNC-CH Libraries. It discusses the criteria for evaluating books, articles, and websites, and includes helpful checklists.
- Evaluating Resources from the Duke University Libraries lists criteria for evaluating resources.
- The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Or, Why It's a Good Idea to Evaluate Web Sources From New Mexico State University; this guide includes links to examples of both "good" and "bad" websites.
- How to Critically Analyze Information Sources from Cornell University. A quick guide to help you determine the relevance and authority of a resource.
- Evaluating Information Found on the Internet from Johns Hopkins University Library. A useful guide to evaluating web and other Internet resources for scholarly purposes.
As you write your assignment or paper, you'll be using information that you obtained from other sources and integrating it into your work. When you use someone else's words or ideas (or their pictures, charts, etc.) in your work, you must give credit to that author by citing the original source of the information. For information on how to cite, please see our Citing Information Tutorial.

I decided to play good old Dungeon Keeper game again (the first one).
But I have horrible lag in the game, I think it depends on the map I play. The game also crashes after long games.
I've never had this problem before when I played it on XP. Maybe it's an ATI card problem, hard to say.
So, has anyone has problems like this? I would like to get rid of the mouse lag, it looks like the game message system (which handles mouse and keyboard) bandwidth gets full or something like that.
So, maybe I can somehow limit my CPU/GPU speed with some program? Is there any?
PS I cant play this game on DOS, so DOSBox won't fix it.

Why do we say that an obscene joke is "off-color"? Is a G-rated joke "on-color"? What color? When and how did this idiomatic expression come from?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The first definition in the OED is specific to diamond mining, where an off-colour diamond is neither pure white or another colour, which makes it of inferior value (there are quotations using the phrase from 1860 - 1968).
The next definition is more general and has two sub-definitions. The first means of a colour that's either darker, lighter, not natural, proper or acceptable (quoted 1873 - 2000). The second is to be slightly unwell, or not up to the mark, or out of order (1876 - 1997).
Finally, the third is what we're after:
The first quotation:
Searching Google Books, I found some antedatings. First for diamond mining:
The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction - Volume 5 - Page 15 - John Timbs - 1825:
Next, for a general use (though I'm not sure if this means "unwell" or "of questionable taste"):
Paris in '67: Or, The Great Exposition, Its Side-shows and Excursions - Page 87 - Henry Morford - 1867:
Here is the definition of off color in Chapman & Kipfer, Dictionary of American Slang, Third Edition (1995):
That same reference reports that blue in the sense of "lewd, rude, suggestive" appeared in American English by 1840.
The same sense of blue appears in England, too. Thus, Farmer & Henley, Slang and Its Analogues (1890) has this entry:
And for blue sense 2, Farmer & Henley says this:
From About.com's definition of blue humor (http://comedians.about.com/od/glossary/g/bluehumor.htm):
The alternative term for clean humor seems to have been white at one time. Wentworth & Flexner, Dictionary of American Slang (1960) offers this item under its entry for blue:
So putting all of this together, we have the idea that off color refers to blue, which means crude, lewd, or indecent; but white or brown indicate clean (or boring). I especially like the idea from Farmer & Henley that blue may have gotten its unsavory connotation from a particular edition of smutty French literature.
As no-one has really emphasised the following meaning I feel justified in offering little more than anecdote: off-colour most definitely means "unwell" where I am from (though it is a little archaic). The "colour" in question being the colour of one's skin.
In the case of a joke, I would see it as a synonym for "sick", meaning distasteful. I'm unsure of the connection between taste and wellness, but if you read things like Frankenstein, one might be led to believe the connection between beauty (i.e. notions of taste) and wellness was far more explicit than today.
I have no concrete evidence to suggest so, but I feel as though my following reasoning might help you. In the world of comedy there is a certain genre called "black comedy", this genre focuses on making satirical humor based on actual events that one might consider not funny. One example is the movie "Dr. Strangelove" a black comedy that was satire to the cold war. In the movie there is a scene where a man is forced to ride an atomic bomb down to its detonation, he does this on purpose because otherwise it wouldn't detach from its loading dock. The comedic part is that as he rides it he rides it similar to a cowboy and a bull, making fun of the fact that only an American would be so silly as to make fun out of big explosions. But the "black" aspect is the actuality that the American is conveying the death of millions and ensuring "mutually ensured destruction" for both the soviets and the US in nuclear war. Therefore one can assume that when a joke is "off color" it is not pure, it has a tinge of controversial meaning that some might find offensive.

Wondering the best unicode characters to draw a chessboard... particularly the right combination of square and row/col delimiters (if any) to give a readable layout in a terminal window. Here's what I have so far ... somehow this looks really "busy" to me.
Any idea of how to improve it so that the eye can easily follow the movement?
Would like the tags "chess" and "unicode", but unfortunately don't have the rep.

Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell is bringing its best to four cities out West.
Four DWU choirs and the Wesleyan Bells will embark on a spring tour the end of February, making stops in Scottsbluff, Neb., Guernsey, Wyo., and Longmont and Brighton, Colo. The tour will conclude with a concert at the First United Methodist Church of Mitchell, S.D. These concerts are all free and open to the public.
"We love taking our show on the road and this will be an excellent way for the Dakota Wesleyan music department to reach out to other communities," said Dr. Clinton Desmond, choral director at DWU. "We have several excited alumni who have helped us with tour planning and are inviting us into their churches and homes. Opportunities like this help DWU stay connected, and also allow us a chance to show people how much our program has grown."
The schedule for the tour is as follows:
*Thursday, Feb. 27, 7 p.m., First United Methodist Church of Scottsbluff, Neb.
*Friday, Feb. 28, 9 a.m., Guernsey High School, Guernsey, Wyo.; 7 p.m., Hover Manor Independent Living, Longmont, Colo.
*Saturday, March 1, 7 p.m., Brighton United Methodist Church, Brighton, Colo.
*Sunday, March 2, 9:15 a.m., Brighton United Methodist Church
*Monday, March 3, 7 p.m., First United Methodist Church, Mitchell
The program will take approximately 90 minutes and consists of multiple pieces performed by the Wesleyan Choir, the Singing Scotchmen, the Women's Chamber Choir, the Highlanders and the Wesleyan Bells.
Some of the pieces by the choir include: "Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal," "With a Lily in Your Hand," "What Wondrous Love Is This," and a Hebrew love song, "Erev Shel Shoshanim." The Bells will perform six pieces, including "Eye of the Tiger" and a "Super Mario Brothers" medley.
The Singing Scotchmen is Dakota Wesleyan's new men's choir, which will perform "The Morning Trumpet," "Steal Away," and "Free Fallin'."
The Highlanders is the premier ensemble at DWU featuring students from many majors, selected by audition. They will perform selections from their recent performance at the winter convention of the South Dakota Chapter of the American Choral Director's Assocation. These selections include "Soldier Boy," by John Rutter; "La Bataglia Taliana," by Matthias Werrecore," and "Three Songs for Chorus a Cappella," by Philip Glass.
The Women's Choir will perform a cappella arrangements based on three recent pop hits, "Titanium," "Landslide," and "I Knew You Were Trouble."
The DWU music and theatre departments are joining forces this March for the spring musical – "Les Miserables" will be performed at the end of the month on campus. For ticket information, please visit www.dwu.edu.

Wow. I just bumped into Johnny Lee in the halls here at Mix09. I'm a huge fan boi with a man-crush on this dude. You've seen Johnny before on Channel 9 talking to Robert Hess. Johnny's a legend (in my mind) in the computer vision space, and he put up with me gushing at him here at Mix09. We chatted in the hall about computer vision, what he's working on, how he got the gig at Microsoft and where he sees the future of human-computer-interaction.
Oops, something didn't work.

AG084: Who's Flying Now?
this wiki
Who's Flying Now? (Japanese: ヒワマキシティのフェザーカーニバル!! Fortree City's Feather Carnival) is the 44th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
After the events that transpired at the Weather Station, Ash and co. finally arrive at Fortree City. Ash couldn't wait to challenge the Gym Leader, unfortunately the Gym Leader is helping with the Feather Carnival. Later they meet the Gym Leader, Winona, who scheduled in Ash's request for a Gym Battle, but in the meantime they should have some fun. Meanwhile Team Rocket has plans of their own. What sinister plot are they up to this time, and why does the carnival bring back such bad memories for James?
Episode Plot
The gang climbs atop the Fortree City's Gym. May spots the city behind them. They see houses atop the trees. They continue (wishing for an elevator to get them up). A man appears, by the name of Zachary, telling them that the Gym Leader is in Fortree City for the Feather Carnival - a tradition of the city. Ash goes down to get to the Gym Leader. They see lots of food and girls (pleasing Brock). Max spots 2 people riding a Skarmory, so they go to the center to check the people.
Team Rocket appears as well in the City, with Jessie and Meowth eating food. James is depressed and makes a flashback - he was travelling in car through a carnival when he saw a Chimecho. His parents wouldn't allow him get one, so one night he snuck out to get it, but the carnival ended already. He begins to cry, but stops when he sees Jessie and Meowth aren't present. The woman (named Winona) goes to pick another child to the flight, but Brock appears with his flirting scheme, following Max who pulls his ear. Ash introduces himself and wants her to challenge to a Gym battle. Winona accepts, but after ending the duty she has to do first. A woman and her climb up on Skarmory and ride off.
Ash allows them to stay for a while at the carnival, so they bring their Pokémon out. They have some fun for a while. Team Rocket comments on James' tale, thinking this Chimecho he so much wants will never appear again (despite one passing near them). Everyone has some more fun. Brock says that Fortree citizens have respect for the sky, so thinks Ash might have difficult time challenging her. James is annoyed when Jessie and Meowth abandoned him. He sees some Chimecho and goes to the trader. However, he feels something is actually familiar. The trader gives him the Chimecho, but James sees it is that Magikarp trader! James does not believe him that he is fair, but is convinced when he sees the Chimecho ad hears some facts about it.
James buys the Chimecho. Later, Jessie and Meowth arrive near him. Meowth feels something is wrong, but Chimecho sings for them. Meowth heard a bell, actually. Soon, the "wings" tied on back of the Chimecho free themselves and its tail falls down. James rubs it a little, seeing it is a Hoppip. Jessie demands how much James spent, so he says he spent all money. Meowth spots a real Chimecho. Chimecho makes a sound, soothing Team Rocket. James befriends the Chimecho (although easily). They go to their original plan. The gang arrives to the battlefield - an open field, perfect for Flying Pokémon. However, they spot trouble at the carnival, so Winona sends Skarmory to ride it, so the gang goes down.
Team Rocket causes trouble in a machine, catching the Flying Pokémon. Skarmory uses Steel Wing, pushing the machine. The gang spots the Chimecho, but nevertheless, Pikachu electrocutes them. However, Chimecho heals them all with Heal Bell. James thanks Chimecho, who in return folds his eyes with its tail. Meowth attacks using the machine, damaging Swellow. Swellow frees itself from the attack and uses Wing Attack, pushing the machine. Meowth releases another attack, defeating Swellow and Pikachu. Skarmory attacks with Drill Peck, releasing the Pokémon.
As Winona's Skarmory uses another Drill Peck, Jessie and Meowth advise to heal them, but they aren't hurt. So, they advise it to use Double Edge, but Skarmory hit the machine. As they are blasting off, James thinks Double Edge is dangerous to use for someone like Chimecho. The gang thanks Winona for assistance. Winona apologizes for not having battle with Ash, but proposes to battle him tomorrow, so he accepts. At the end of the carnival, they see Winona and the Flying Pokémon fly amidst the fireworks.
- From this episode, Chimecho will be featured in Team Rocket's motto.
- Featured Pokémon: Magby, Lombre, Solrock, Ponyta.
- Ash pulled Brock's ear instead of Max.
- Also, Wobbuffet did not speak at the end of the Team Rocket chant, but Chimecho did.
- At the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokémon identification can be seen. In this episode, it is a Gengar.
- James' Chimecho was the second Pokémon to be caught by friendship. The first being Cacnea and the third being his Yamask.
- The title could be referencing the 1981 song "Who's Crying Now" by Journey. It can also reference the phrase "Who's Laughing Now?".

Head football coach Brad Lambert and his staff welcomed 200 fans in the Barnhardt Student Activity Center Salons for the 49ers Second Annual Signing Day Chalk Talk, Thursday.
With video of each of the 49ers' 19 signees, as well as three transfers announced in December, the 49ers coaching staff introduced its second class of football recruits to Niner Nation.
"We're really pleased with the balance (in this class)," Lambert said. "Age balance. Position balance. We feel really good about the teams we competed against and we feel really good about where we ended up."
Of the 49ers 22 newcomers since the fall practice season completed, six are transfers, including four junior college transfers and two four-year college transfers. The 49ers also signed 16 high school seniors, 10 of which came from North Carolina, five from South Carolina and six of which came from the greater Charlotte area.
In addition to comments from head coach Brad Lambert, coaches Bruce Tall, Jeff Mullen, Phil Ratliff, James Adams, Drew Dayton, Damien Gary, Joe Tereshinski, Napoleon Sykes and Johnson Richardson all spoke about signees, as well, giving fans a better glimpse of not only the players they'll be watching but the coaches charged with leading them.
The 49ers, who will play in their historic inaugural season this fall, hosted this Chalk Talk reception the day after National Signing Day last year and this year.
Charlotte will compete as an FCS Independent in 2013 and 2014 before moving to FBS status as a member of Conference USA in 2015. It completed its first season of fall workouts in November.
To purchase Football Seat Licenses (FSLs), fans can contact the 49ers Ticket Office or Athletic Foundation at 704-687-4949 or 704-687-4950.

Unlike a traditional fixed movement crosstrainer, Vario offers the option to define your unique path or motion.
It's perfect for you if you want to lose weight, burn calories without exertion, improve your coordination, help prevent joint problems and move all the muscles in your body in a single training session. It's fun to use because it offers you three different movements - step, elliptical, and Vario - which you can change without the need to stop the machine or take your feet off the platforms. The platforms and levers move when and how you want, because you choose and direct the movement according to your natural pace and training goals.
Vario is for you who:
Want to lose weight
With Vario you can burn up to 200 calories in 20 minutes because with a single machine you involve all the muscles in your body: from legs to arms and from abdominals to shoulders. Physical activity is intense, but the perception of exertion is minimal because you adapt the motion of the machine to your own pace.
Want full-body training
Vario has two platforms and two interconnected lever-handles that move simultaneously. If you decide to use them together, pressing them as you wish, you'll involve the muscles of your legs in the exercise along with those of the upper half of the body.
Want to prevent or ease joint problems
The movement of Vario is similar to talking a walk, a run, or climbing stairs, but without the striking impact against the ground that is typical of road running. This way you can move and warm your joints without fatigue, preventing injury and future problems.
Want to improve coordination and rhythm
The connection between the pedals and the handles and their simultaneous motion, allows you to involve your arms and legs in a rhythmic movement that helps the upper part of your body to synchronize with the bottom half.
What is Vario like?
Different from a Crosstrainer
Compared with a traditional crosstrainer, which has only one kind of movement, Vario allows you to perform three different motions - step, elliptical, and "Vario" – which you can change without needing to pause your workout or take your feet off the platform.
Different from a treadmill or running on the road
Compared with a treadmill or running outdoors there is less impact on the knees and feet because there is no contact with the ground. What's more, treadmills have very specific rules for performing exercises, but with Vario you choose the position and the movement: you can even decide to run backward!
Designed for any height
However tall you are, you'll find your ideal stride without having to adjust it in advance because the equipment is biomechanically designed to be suitable for all users from 140 to 210 cm and weighing up to 160 kg.
Suitable for rehabilitation
Vario has two versions, the 700 MD and 500 MD, certified by European Community law of 93/42 addressing medical devices. These two versions are suitable for use in hospitals, outpatient clinics, sports centers, and rehabilitation facilities as support for treatment and muscular rehabilitation.
With UNITY training becomes as engaging as ever
Thanks to the UNITY digital platform, you can turn the machine you use into your personal device for the entire duration of your workout. With UNITY™ and mywellness® cloud, you can stay in touch with your world even while you train, using all the Android tools and applications as on your own tablet and with the same type of interaction. It is now possible to access social networks and preferred Web contents, participate in your gym's challenges, manage your workouts and monitor your indoor and outdoor activities. With UNITY, this and much more is possible.
What are the three Vario movements like?
Vario is the only cardio machine with platforms that follow different trajectories. That's why you can perform three different movements, both in terms of intensity and the muscles involved:
Vertical step
As the name suggests, this is similar to the movement you make climbing and descending stairs. It's a rhythmic stride from high to low and vice versa.
Elliptical movement
In this case your legs perform a circular movement similar to a brisk walk (if you have a short stride) or a run (long stride).
"Vario" movement
Similar to an athlete's fast run, it's the type of movement that allows you to cover a stride that can extend up to 83 cm.
How can I change movement?
With Vario, you decide when and whether to change from one movement to another. You can begin with stepping, and then without stopping run faster, shifting to the elliptical, to then reach full stride, and then finish your workout with another step session.
Movement develops quickly and isn't tiresome; it even guarantees greater safety because with Vario you start, stop and manage the workout yourself, just as you would when walking on the road.
Training with Vario
After stepping up onto the machine, to start your workout you need only start moving the platforms or handles.
On the display you can choose from different workouts based on goals like time, calories, or distance.
Full-body training
For training your legs, gluteus, abs and shoulders together, you can use the platforms and handles together, choosing between the two movements and whether you want to do step, a fast walk or full stride.
Some advice for making your workout more fun? If you're on a UNITY model you can even watch TV or listen to your music.
Training for the lower half of the body
If you want to concentrate on toning the lower part of the body, only use the platforms. In this case, you can rest your hands on the center or side rests, and if you're using a version with UNITY you can use this time to surf the web or update your status on social websites.
Intense, natural training
A natural stride is 40% of your height, so the maximum width of the stride on Vario is 83 cm, designed based on a user 210 cm tall. The concept of stride is important because it allows you to choose from two kinds of exercise.
If you're 140 cm tall, the length of your stride will be 56 cm: by selecting this stride you'll experience a natural workout, but if you're an athlete and you want to increase your physical performance, simply increase the length of your stride and you can increase the resistance in your workout.
How much and when should you use Vario?
To achieve the benefits you're looking for in your training, we suggest you apply some general recommendations from our psychological and physical wellness guide to your exercise with Vario.
In general, to stay in shape through cardio training, you only need about 150 minutes a week, divided if possible into at least three sessions.

Low-Fat Eaters Burned Fewer Calories, Were More Likely to Regain Lost Weight
June 26, 2012 -- New research challenges the idea that a calorie is a calorie, suggesting that certain foods and diets may be better than others for burning calories and helping people maintain weight loss.
The study appears this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Study participants who had lost weight agreed to follow low-fat, very-low-carb, and low-glycemic-index diets for a month each.
Even though they ate the same number of calories on each of the three plans, the study participants burned about 300 calories a day less on the low-fat eating plan than they did on the very-low-carbohydrate one, which was modeled after the Atkins diet.
Calories Not Equal, Researcher Says
The very-low-carb plan and the low-glycemic-index plan -- which stresses a variety of high fiber and minimally processed foods -- also resulted in better insulin sensitivity (necessary to process blood sugar effectively) and cholesterol levels.
This suggests that very-low-fat diets may actually slow a person's metabolism down to a level where it is not burning calories as effectively as it could, says researcher David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, who directs the Optimal Weight for Life program at the Harvard-affiliated Children's Hospital in Boston.
Ludwig has long studied the low-glycemic-index diet and is one of the diet's main proponents.
He says while people often lose weight on very-low-fat and very-low-carbohydrate diets, the vast majority end up gaining the weight back very quickly.
"From a metabolic perspective our study suggests that all calories are not alike," Ludwig tells WebMD. "The quality of the calories going in is going to affect the number of calories going out."
Different Diets, Different Outcomes
The study included 21 young adults who originally lost 10% to 15% of their body weight on a diet that included 45% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 25% protein.
During the course of the study, the participants followed three different diets for a month each, including:
- A low-fat diet, which included mostly whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, where 60% of daily calories came from carbohydrates, 20% from fats, and 20% from protein.
- A low-glycemic-index diet, which included minimally processed grains, vegetables, legumes, and healthy fats, where 40% of calories came from carbohydrates, 40% from fat, and 20% from protein.
- A very-low-carb diet, modeled after the Atkins plan, where 10% of calories came from carbohydrates, 60% from fats, and 30% from protein.

How clearly can the stars of the Pleiades cluster be seen through a 15x telescope (for example, FunScope)?
The Pleiades is an open star cluster, not a star: it consists of over a thousand stars. Since it is spread over quite a wide area of sky, it is best viewed with binoculars or a low power eyepiece in a telescope; 150x or 200x would show you only a few stars, not the whole cluster.
Actually the FunScope is an excellent telescope to view the Pleiades, but with its 20mm eyepiece (15x). 150x or 200x is far too much magnification to use with a small telescope like this. I own a FunScope and have had excellent views of the Pleiades and the Andromeda Galaxy with it.
At that high a magnification, you will only be able to see a tiny fraction of the Pleiades at a time. Binoculars would be better.
[EDIT: This statement applies to the original phrasing of the question, which listed 150 as its magnification, not 15.]
A 76 mm scope at 15x would be amazing. I often use my 15x70 binoculars for open clusters.

I updated from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 today.
Instead of using update manager, I upgraded using sudo do-release-upgrade command in terminal. However, an blackout causes the computer to switch off and the installation is terminated halfway accidently.
After I switched on the computer, the Ubuntu 11.04 won't start it's GUI. So, I used Ctrl+Alt+F1, logged in and used sudo do-release upgrade again to resume the upgrade.
After the upgrade, the computer restarted, after choosing Ubuntu 11.10 from grub, the screen goes black, no bootloader or anything. Here is the screenshot of the screen after something appears..
After this appears, I used Ctrl+Alt+F1 again, logged in and used startx command. Ubuntu is back to normal. When I restarted again, it goes back to tty1. I have to use sudo reboot to get restart again, however, this time same thing happens and Ubuntu 11.10 won't start GUI automatically.
How do I fix this?

Verisign internationalised domain names (IDNs) follow Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Standards related to IDN.
By adding IDNs to their .com, .net, .tv, .name and .cc domain name options, registrars have the opportunity to expand services and help increase revenues. For assistance or questions, please contact the Verisign Customer Affairs Office at +1-703-925-6999 or send an e-mail.
Registrars are welcome to download the IDN Software Development Kits (SDKs) and implement IDN offerings into your domain name registration service.
You must first become a registrar of one or more top-level domain names before you can offer IDNs as an additional option.Become a Verisign Domain Name Registrar
Verisign IDNs follow Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Standards related to IDN. There are important points to consider when registering an IDN.
The Verisign Shared Registration System (SRS) allows a registrant to register IDNs via a registrar in any script supported by Unicode. The registrant's IDN is stored in the Registry's database in an ASCII-compatible representation as defined by RFC 3492 (Encoding Scheme: punycode). The uniqueness of a domain name registration is determined by its Unicode representation. Valid characters for IDNs are those identified within the Unicode 3.2. For more information, see Policy for IDN Code Points.
Verisign processes IDN transactions on a first-come, first-served basis in the same manner as all registrations in the .com, .net, .name, .tv and .cc registries. If a dispute occurs, Verisign follows any and all policies established by ICANN to uniformly administer the domain name transfer dispute process.
To assist with potential disputes, Verisign has created the IDN Conversion Tool, which works as follows:
Please contact Verisign Customer Services if you have any questions.
Registrar Tools
Sample user interfaces (UIs) for domain name registration highlight possible implementations of language tags into the purchase flow.
Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) are second- and third-level domain names or Web addresses, represented by local language characters. The native language domain name is followed by the Latin script top-level domain (TLD) such as .com or .net. An example of an IDN is: 스타벅스코리아.com (in punycode: xn--oy2b35ckwhba574atvuzkc.com).
IDNs enable more Web users to navigate the Internet in their preferred script and more companies to maintain one brand identity in many scripts. Most domain names are registered in ASCII characters (A to Z, 0 to 9 and the hyphen "-"). However, languages that require diacritics such as Spanish and French and those that use non-Latin scripts such as Kanji and Arabic cannot be rendered in ASCII. As a result, millions of Internet users struggle to find their way online using non-native scripts and languages. IDNs improve the accessibility and functionality of the Internet by enabling domain names in non-ASCII characters.
Please see scripts and languages for more information.
To use IDNs, you must have an IDN-enabled browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Firefox. When a user enters an IDN using local language characters, or follows a link, IDN-enabled applications encode the characters into an ACE string that the DNS understands. The DNS processes the request and returns the information to the application.
If you own a website or provide other Internet-based services and would like to use IDNs to help your customers, you may register an IDN in available characters through participating ICANN-accredited and Verisign-certified registrars. A registrant requests an IDN from a registrar that supports IDNs. The registrar converts the local-language characters into a sequence of supported characters using ASCII-compatible encoding (ACE). The registrar submits the ACE string to the Verisign® Shared Registration System (SRS), where it is verified and encoded. The IDN is added to the appropriate TLD zone files and propagated across the Internet. Find a Registrar
In keeping with current domain name standards, multiple IDNs may share IP addresses.
Yes. However, just as current standards do not allow names to begin or end with a hyphen, the ASCII transformation cannot begin or end with a hyphen. A hyphen cannot exist in third or fourth position in an IDN.
The encoded form of the IDN (including the characters for .com, .net or .name) may contain up to 67 characters. The characters may be letters, numbers or hyphens. A domain name may not begin or end with a hyphen. The IDN transformation software will reject a domain name if the encoded conversion exceeds the character limit.
The newly-allowed characters in Unicode 6.0 are listed below.
To complement the IDN initiatives being pushed by ICANN, Verisign is helping to organise a new consortium to push adoption of IDN capabilities in standard client software. An inaugural in-person meeting was held at the ICANN Brussels meeting in June 2010. Verisign is excited about the opportunities presented by the introduction of IDNs and urges the Internet community to participate in the consortium. For more information about the IDN Software Developer's Consortium, please contact email@example.com.
By adding IDNs, registrars have the opportunity to expand services and potentially increase revenues with their existing infrastructure. A single .com domain name may be registered in as many as 350 different native languages.
To offer IDN options, you must first be a registrar for a particular TLD. Verisign, a pioneer in domain name technology, is a leader in the propagation and adoption of IDNs. Verisign has made IDNs available through the .com, .net, .name, .tv and .cc registries via the IDN SDKs. To calculate the potential for IDNs to expand your domain name business, please download our IDN ROI Calculator (XLS).
The Verisign® Shared Registration System (SRS) allows a registrant to register IDNs via a registrar in any script supported by Unicode. The registrant's IDN is stored in the registry's database in an ASCII-compatible representation as defined by RFC 3492 (Encoding Scheme: punycode). For example, the Japanese characters ドメイン translate to the English word "domain." The punycode encoding of those characters will be stored as "xn--eckwd4c7c.com". The uniqueness of a domain name registration is determined by its Unicode representation. Valid characters for IDNs are those identified within the Unicode specification. Learn more about the policy for IDN code points.
Resolving an IDN requires the DNS to interpret characters in local languages and connect them to the relevant domains; however, there are many more languages than scripts. For example, in two different Latin-based languages the "ø" and the "ö" characters may be interchanged. The registration "thørn.com" could be a registration variant of "thörn.com". These characters are considered character variants and their overlap requires a special solution. Learn more about character variants.
Verisign processes IDN transactions on a first-come, first-served basis in the same way as it does with all registrations in the .com, .net, .name, .tv and .cc registries. If a dispute occurs, Verisign follows the relevant policies established by ICANN to uniformly administer the domain name transfer dispute process. To assist with potential disputes, Verisign has created the IDN Conversion Tool, which converts an IDN character string into punycode so that you can check Whois for the punycode character string.
Libraries that implement the IDNs in Applications (IDNA) standard for a variety of programming environments are available in the public domain. Verisign encourages and supports the work of such developers and provides links to these libraries. Application developers should choose the library that best fits their application requirements. Verisign offers a complete IDN SDK in Java and C to application developers. It fully supports the latest IDNA specification. You can find it on the IDN SDK download page.
Review our IETF Standards.
The registration failure/error codes for IDNs and name servers are the same as those in the current EPP. Additional codes have been added to support errors specific to IDN conversion and encoding.
IDNs appear in Whois results in punycode. The domain name, registrar name, Whois server, referral URL, name server record and updated date are recorded using ASCII characters (the current standard). Since Whois will not accept native language queries, Verisign has created the IDN Conversion Tool, which converts an IDN character string into punycode. Keep in mind that domain names are unique registrations for each language. Therefore, a user must perform a Whois query for a domain name in each language (native character set).
ICANN Registry Implementation Committee (RIC) guidelines require that each Internationalised Domain Name (IDN) be associated with a specific language using a "language tag." The registrant selects the IDN language tag during the registration process. If an IDN combines more than one language, the registrant must select the most appropriate language.
Language tags allow appropriate language rules to be applied to the domain name to prevent the registration of domain names that may confuse IDN users. Learn more about character variants.
The language tag is checked against a list of languages that have character inclusion tables or character-variant mapping tables. These tables are applied to the Unicode code points that make up a registration and determine whether the registration is valid for a specific language. If a registration fails for one language, the character set may still be available with a different language tag.
A default language tag may be used; however, registrants seeking domain names in a different language may be rejected because the appropriate language rules have not been applied. For example, if a registrant submitted a registration using Cyrillic characters and the default tag set by the registrar was Chinese, the registration would be rejected because Cyrillic characters are not permitted under the Chinese character inclusion table.

I have bought a used Trek 4300 bike and after a few days I noticed leaking oil from front suspension fork. Oil leaks only from one leg (opposite to disk-brakes). I would like to know more about construction of front-suspension. Is this a serious problem? Is it possible to refill suspension with new oil? What kind of oil is used? How much oil is used?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

While this may in fact be a serious problem which needs attention, it can also be normal. The first thing you need to do is define what you mean by leak.
If it is a thin and light coat of oil on on fork stanchion, this is very likely normal.
If it is a puddle, pool, or drip of oil on the fork leg, this is more than likely a problem. It can be a failed fork seal, or a a damaged damping or lockout cartridge.
Both of these can be caused by over compression of the fork. It could also a be a defect in the fork, which should be replaced. Do you have an LBS you trust? If so, take the bike to them and ask.
Be aware that there are other things that can cause this that may not be damage. How do you store the bike? Do you hang it up on the wall by the wheel or set it upside down on the bars and saddle?
Leaving the fork in a position to have oil draining against the seal can allow it to seep through, but that is normal. I know this is a bit ambiguous, but there is no way to give an answer with certainty without seeing the fork. Post a picture of the leak, and we can be more helpful.
The level of oil in a fork is very important to its proper function.
When I maintain my fork, I remove the caps for each stanchion using a socket wrench. You may be able to do the same with your fork and examine if there are any obvious problems with it.
Since this is a new bike I recommend taking it directly back to the point of purchase and asking for help, or replacement of a defective product.
This is a serious problem that has to be fixed. Each fork has its own specification for the type and amount of oil to be used. Usually, the specs require the oil level be accurate to a few ml's as well as no air bubbles or other contaminants in the oil. If you want to do it yourself you should be able to find the specs for your bike's fork online. However, because it is leaking, the leak must be found and corrected.

We don't just lose games, no, they lose in the absolute most painful way possible.
One minute I thought we had the game. Just keep riding Fred Jackson, burn the clock and win.
Nope. Not the Buffalo Bills. Does it matter that we almost beat them for the first time since 2003? Nope.
Another special teams play debacles the Bills.
I hate football.

That was sick. My condolences.
But He loves Kyle Orton...
In all seriousness, I'm not a Bills fan but that was horrible to watch. Edwards and Jackson and the O line up to that point did a great job. That really sucks. Sorry to Buffalo and their fans. At least the team looks better than people thought.
Painful to watch at the end. I really thought the Bills would pull it out.
Good teams find ways to win.
Bad teams find ways to lose.

Down LOSING Units Through Week 16
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read 'Calls: $10,000 a minute.'
Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle , Dallas, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and around the United States, he found more phones, with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Massachusetts. Upon entering a church in Boston, MA. He saw the usual golden telephone.
But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: .35 cents."
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only .35 cents a call. Why? Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied :
"Son, you're in Boston, Massachusetts now, home of the Boston Red Sox, the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins and Boston College! You're in God's Country. It's a local call."
Richard Seymour = the best defensive player that NE had.
I fully agree.

Special jury to meet again
October 22, 2013
WINTERSVILLE — A special Jefferson County grand jury investigating if adults or school administrators knew about the rape of a Weirton teenage girl last year by two Steubenville High School students......
Rhinaman: a four-count indictment accusing him of tampering with evidence, obstructing justice, obstructing official business and perjury.
This statement makes me think that someone else entered some info on a computer; and on his own or as a directive removed evidence.
Am I looking at it too hard?
DeWine's office does not want to commit to there being more indictments in the future; and they are looking for the truth; apparently this guy perjured himself; I have to ask...WHY??
Seems like there should be more indictments coming just from these statements alone.

Looking forward to many more indictments for the Jane Doe rape case coverup, alcohol suppliers for the parties, and Coach Sac being taken off the Big Red football field in handcuffs to jail. If I was William Rhinaman, I would be singing like a canary to get a reduced sentence for what I did in the data destruction coverup, and telling who told me to do it. They all deserve much prison time. Jane Doe deserves no better justice.

TomSays....you are Keyrectamundo my friend. I hear via the Flick Grapevine that Rhineim IS singing like a parakeet on seroids....has told prosecutors the names and details of every coach and administrator involved in the administrative coverup. Like I have been saying all along...first you indict the perpetrator and let him cut a deal....the rest of the dominoes will soon fall as the Grand Jury begins to hand out more indictments. Plenty of handcuffs to be used as these smug, arrogant beaurocatic parasites get their just rewards. I hear many are getting very anxious as word has spread that Rhineman is talking. Can't really blame him......he was "just following orders", however, he doesn't want to be the only victim. Rumor has it he said he will bring down the whole rotten establishment with him and will not tolerate being a dupe. Ole Flick has his ear to the rail and will be reporting as he hears more...Flick out.
