I read an article today that listed some basic questions about web development:
Describe how POST data was submitted to a server by a browser.
Explain a number of HTTP status codes (except maybe 404 and 500).
Explain SOLID or name a design pattern.
Explain ways to improve a page load speed or user experience.
The author says "if you can't answer the questions above there are a lot of people who wouldn't think of you as a Senior Web Developer."
My questions are:
How relevant are these questions in respect to real life web programming and scalability?
How true is that statement? In other words, do you consider this knowledge a requirement to be considered a Senior Web Developer?
I was able to answer all the questions, too easily it seemed, so I'm wondering whether it is effective to use these or similar questions to screen developers rather than asking them to write sample code.

= 125KHz and 13.56MHz card-style and fob-style and implant-style RFID systems =
Revision as of 19:12, 4 July 2013
950 MHz UHF RFID system
This RFID reader is installed near the entry door of Noisebridge (at the top of the stairs). If it can be made to work properly, we can put RFID tags in any items we want (private or public) and program our computer systems to react if and when those items go near or through the door (or elevator room). This could be useful in deterring or preventing theft, so that Noisebridge CAN Have Nice Things.
current state of things: the reader works, we talk to it through serial, and it detects tags, but all the tags we have result in the same line of text from the reader. We need to figure out what command to send to the reader to get it to tell us the full data of the tags, or at least their unique serial number. We have over 100 tags, but they aren't readable until a piece of wire is soldered onto them as an antenna, which can be tailor made for the article they are being fixed onto. The PDF for the tags we have is linked to below, uploaded to the wiki as rfid.pdf If you want to help with this project, contact me. -jake
- We got this reader: SAMSys MP9320 2.8
Various files related to this device: http://techsupweb.satoamerica.com/public/06_RFID/Software/RF%20Command%20Suite/
the protocol the reader talks is detailed at: CHUMP Protocol Reference Guide v7.0
The MP9320 cannot be made to work on ethernet, even though it has a port.
The reader is connected to Minotaur through a USB to Serial adaptor which comes up as /dev/ttyUSB1
you should talk to it through its reliable pathname which is:
try the following command (as root on minotaur)
# screen /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Keyspan__a_division_of_InnoSys_Inc._Keyspan_USA-19H-if00-port0 57600
(press control-A and then k to "kill" or exit screen when you're done)
the reader is now configured and it works. when it detects a tag, the windows software tells you
Tag ID,Tag Name,Tag Type, Total Reads, Rate, Antenna, Date/Time
this is what the serial data looks like, 57600 baud: (it repeats constantly while the tag is nearby)
this reader has four antenna ports. The windows software seems to tell you which antenna the tag was seen on, but we will need to find that information in the serial data, which should be easy. The reason this matters is because we will end up having antennas in different locations (door at the top of the stairs, elevator room door, bottom of the steps) and we will want to react differently depending on where a tag is detected.

zipfile containing many PDFs relating to these RFID tags including the NXP app notes
these tags do not have an antenna - they are a grain of sand in the middle of a 3mm x 9mm piece of plastic. On either side of the grain of sand is a copper contact that you can solder to if you're careful. don't melt the plastic backing! the whole thing will probably stick to whatever it was resting on when you soldered it, so prepare. Make your antenna (a loop of wire probably, we are trying to figure out what works best) and solder it to the two contacts and then protect the thing with some hard (hitemp) hotglue or epoxy or something.

The project has been both challenging and costly, and the risks are now seen as too big to go through with it, the government said. Statoil said it has no plans to shut down the refinery, which ran a surplus in 2012 for the first time in years, and was going through a cost savings program.
By KJETIL MALKENES HOVLAND
OSLO -- Norway is shutting down the Statoil-operated
Mongstad full-scale CO2 capture project, Oil Minister Ola
Borten Moe said Friday, ending the prestigious environmental project that outgoing
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg branded Norway's "moon landing"
in 2007.
The International Energy Agency -- the energy watchdog of
the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development -- has
said that CO2 capture and storage from power plants fired by
oil, gas and coal will play a vital role in worldwide efforts
to limit global warming, contributing to about 20% of required
emissions reductions in 2050.
The Mongstad full-scale project was meant to capture CO2
from the nearby gas-fired power plant and refinery, and the government had
estimated the planning to cost NOK3 billion. The project is led
by Statoil, but the government pays all the costs.
The project has been both challenging and costly, and the
risks are now seen as too big to go through with it, the
government said.
"We must have a project we can stand for, so we can show
that this [technology] is good," Mr. Moe told the Wall Street
Journal in an interview. "When our assessment is that Mongstad
isn't such a project, it's the right thing to do
what we are now doing, taking the consequences."
The uncertainty about the CO2 capture project also increased
because the Western European refinery business is
struggling, the government said. This has hurt the margins at
Statoil's Mongstad refinery, one of the project's CO2
Statoil said it has no plans to shut down the refinery,
which ran a surplus in 2012 for the first time in years, and
was going through a cost savings program.
"The margins in the refinery market are challenging,"
Statoil spokesman Oystein Johannessen told the Wall Street
Earlier this week, the Norwegian Office of the Auditor
General slammed the lack of government control over the costs
of the Mongstad capture project, which includes a full-scale
CO2 capture project and a test center where companies Aker
Clean Carbon and Alstom are testing
different CO2 capture technologies.
The government said it has spent a total of NOK7.2 billion
on the project, but will continue to fund the test center
in coming years. The full-scale capture project ends in
"The government has spent NOK1.2 billion on full-scale
capture on Mongstad alone," Mr. Moe told an Oslo press
conference, adding that he still has the ambition to establish
a full-scale CO2 capture project by the end of 2020, giving no
more details.
"This is some of the worst political incompetence and [lack
of] will to control an oil company I've seen," said Frederic
Hauge of the Bellona foundation, an environmental organization that has
been a key advocate for CO2 capture technology. "I'm angry."
The reason the government allowed Danish company Dong Energy
to build the Mongstad gas power plant, in operation since 2010,
was that it had plans to capture the CO2 emissions and store them
underground. Nature and Youth, another environmental
organization, claimed that Statoil was never really interested
in the CO2 capture project.
"This should be the big moon landing and was the big environmental issue in 2005, but now
it will just be a pollution bomb that will spew out CO2 for
decades," said Silje Lundberg, leader of Nature and Youth.
Statoil said it hasn't been able to solve the technical
challenges with installing a huge, complex capture plant at a
refinery and gas heat and power
plant in full operation.
"We've had a binding deal, which we have taken most
seriously. We've worked dedicated and hard," said Statoil's Mr.
Johannesen, adding that the project "has been big and complex
and has met challenges."
Mr. Stoltenberg, who lost last week's national elections to
a center-right coalition headed by Conservative Erna
Solberg, was on a plane and wasn't immediately available for

I'm not a scientist, but I have observed a lot of bad science being used to support the idea of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) or frequently just called Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) and most commonly, global warming. Since the idea or hypothesis of AGW cannot pass simple tests of the scientific method, I have wondered why the concept just doesn't go away. Because of that I decided that I should look into the reasons why AGW continues on, even though a great portion of scientists and the general public do not believe it is caused by CO2, let alone CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels by man. CO2 is absolutely essential for life on earth as we know it. It is plant food, and all humans exhale about two and a half cubic feet of CO2 every day. CO2 represents between 350 and400 ppm in the atmosphere, or less than one half of a percent all the atmosphere.If CO2 ever got below 200ppm nothing would grow.

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.

As the question says, this is what I was asked today. Since I do not plan to buy ANY Mac any time soon, maybe somebody that is/was using a Mac OSX would be kind to answer. How does the Application Menu (Also known as Global Menu by some) differ (Or be the same) from an End user perspective.
As a side note here is a nice article about the design decision to first include the global menu http://design.canonical.com/2010/05/menu-bar/
Excerpt about why certain things are similar to OSX:
the global menu has very little difference to mac OSX , there is no apple button in the top left (equivelant is in the top right) and the menu auto hides when full screen to display the app name instead and returns on mouse over.
On Mac OS X, the menu stays on top, all the time. Even when you don't maximize. (Actually, there is no maximizing in OS X. There is this "full screen mode", only pretty recently, but it hides the menu.)
Also, I am not sure how it is in Ubuntu, but in OS X, Java applications usually share the menu. I just ran NetBeans in Ubuntu and it didn't share the Unity menu for some reason.
Also, in OS X, you have an apple menu on the top left which works similarly like the menu at the top right in Ubuntu (About Mac, turn off, and so on), and the name of the application is part of the menu (under the name of the application, you usually have things like per-installation settings, "about", and so on).

Great news if you love storms, you bastard: weather models are predicting that a second nor'easter will sweep up the East Coast just in time for Election Day next week.
Weathermen are tripping all over themselves to tell people that this storm won't be nearly as bad as the last one, though.
"Expert Senior Meteorologist" Alex Sosnowski of AccuWeather.com even throws out some boldface type to emphasize that this storm is not another horrifying Frankenstorm that will destroy homes and break New York City and it's like wow, Alex, way too much jazz and excitement for one AccuWeather.com blog post, have a glass of room temperature water and sit down, please.
Fortunately, there are no equals to Sandy to be found on the weather forecast maps.
The storm we're looking at will unfold Tuesday evening into Thursday, and is expected to either:
1) sweep up along the coast, bringing rain and wind to the mid-Atlantic and New England (possibly even some more snow to inland areas)
2) swing out over the ocean before looping back to hit just the northernmost part of New England
The main concern is that any storm off the coast will likely bring further beach erosion and minor flooding to the areas already hardest hit by Sandy.
It will certainly hamper clean-up efforts and make an already joyless task a bit more miserable.

My website share the same IP address with a lot of other internet sites (500) that are not mine. How is this possible? is this affecting my SEO? Thanks
migrated from serverfault.com Nov 6 '11 at 1:22
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
No, it really won't affect your SEO in any way. There are many hostings using one server for many domains.
Shared hosting uses one server for many sites and is pretty common (although I've never heard of as many as 500 on one server before).
Contrary to what others said, there is a small chance it could affect SEO. If the majority of the other 500 sites are spammy, pornographic, virus-ridden sites then you could be classed as being in a "bad neighbourhood" and devalued in search.
This is even moreso the case if you don't have your own domain name (eg
However this is rare and almost certainly nothing to worry about.
You're on shared hosting, there are other sites on the same server, and the server serves different websites based on the domain name the browser requests. No, it won't affect your SEO.

Enrico Pinochi studied art in Rome. In the 1920s, he cooperated with Corriere dei Piccoli and La Lettura. In the 1930s, his main focus was fashion and advertising art, as well as illustrations for books and magazines. He became comics art director of Mondadori publishers in 1938.
He drew a couple of the first official Italian Disney comics with texts by Federico Pedrocchi, including 'Pippo Viaggiatore di Commercio', 'Clarabella tra gli Artigli del Diavolo Nero' and three stories with 'Paperino' ('Donald Duck'). Pinochi emigrated to Argentina in the early 1940s, where he continued to illustrate books until his death in the mid-1960s.

Literature & Fiction Textbooks students will inevitably study History & Criticism, and in doing so need to obtain History & Criticism textbooks. But students of History & Criticism often spend far too much money every semester purchasing History & Criticism textbooks. History & Criticism books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either Dirt & Deity: Life of Robert Burns, History of the Hobbit, or John Milton: Complete Poems and Major Prose can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Writing Arguments: A Rhetoric With Readings, the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780006387596) from your History & Criticism class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying African, Asian, or any other subject within History & Criticism, renting textbooks is the way to go.
Since launching the first textbook rental site in 2006, BookRenter has never wavered from our mission to make education more affordable for all students. Every day, we focus on delivering students the best prices, the most flexible options, and the best service on earth. On March 13, 2012 BookRenter.com, Inc. formally changed its name to Rafter, Inc. We are still the same company and the same people, only our corporate name has changed.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Reducing Your Risk | Screening | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment Overview | Chemotherapy | Radiation Therapy | Surgical Procedures | Lifestyle Changes | Talking to Your Doctor | Resource Guide
Radiation therapy is the use of penetrating beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles called radiation to treat disease. Radiation therapy destroys the ability of cancer cells to grow and divide.
Radiation does not cure esophageal or other types of cancer, but it does offer temporary relief of symptoms and in some cases shrinkage of the tumor. Radiation used in conjunction with chemotherapy , and sometimes followed by esophagectomy , may offer improved survival over any method used alone.
Both external and internally placed radiation sources are used to treat esophageal cancer. In external radiation therapy, rays are directed at the tumor from outside the body. Internal radiation therapy, also called brachytherapy, places the radiation source as close as possible to the cancer cells. Radioactive material, sealed in a thin wire, catheter, or tube, is placed directly into the affected tissue.
Radiation therapy may be offered to you as part of your initial treatment either with or without chemotherapy. The addition of chemotherapy may depend on the size of your tumor, extent of spread, overall condition, and your wishes. In general, external beam radiation is used first, and brachytherapy is used later on, if the tumor starts to grow again. Brachytherapy does not penetrate very deeply, so it may only be helpful for superficial recurrences or to help reopen a re-obstructed esophagus.
Radiation therapy, without chemotherapy, does not significantly impact survival. The addition of chemotherapy results in a higher response (shrinkage of tumor) and survival. In one major study, the survival of patients receiving only radiation was 8.9 months, compared to 12.5 months in those receiving both chemotherapy and radiation. The 2-years survival rate for patients randomized to combined chemotherapy and radiation was 38%, compared with 10% for those randomized to radiation alone.
In addition to the general side effects of radiation, this treatment will tend to constrict the esophagus further over time. To prevent that, a tube may be inserted into the esophagus during treatment.

It may have already launched in certain regions around the world on PC as a free-to-play multiplayer shooter last year, but Warface from Crytek has just arrived on Xbox 360 in the form of a public beta.
Launching as an Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable game later this year, Warface: Xbox 360 Edition is a free-to-play military-themed shooter, and if you've got an Xbox LIVE Gold account you'll be able to jump into the action as one of four soldier classes – namely Rifleman, Medic, Engineer, and Sniper – and work together co-operatively with your fellow team-mates online.
With the full launch of the game, Crytek and Microsoft promise regularly updated content "enabling fans to experience new, daily co-operative campaign missions and a continuous supply of new maps, weaponry, boosts and more."
How can you play Warface on Xbox 360 right now, though? Head on over to the official sign-up page to participate in the public beta over here and you might just be able to sample the action early… you can also watch a brand new trailer for Warface below to get a tiny taste:

I understand what Aux-sends are and are used for but I cant seam to figure out what a aux-return is and/or could be used for. I cant find anything substantial on a quick search.
What is the purpose of an AUX return?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 14:58
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Suppose you want to use parallel audio effects (i.e. typically reverb, delay or sometimes chorus: effects that just add some "dependent extra signal" rather than "destructively" modifying an input signal). There are two obvious ways to do this:
The latter apparently seems less intuitive to many people at first, but it's actually far more natural: again, we're talking about parallel effects here. And it has a number of advantages:
In principle, there's no need to actually use Aux returns for this kind of parallel processing: you can route the signal back to any normal line input, sometimes it is in fact necessary (like when you need to use the console's EQs); but more often you'd pretty much keep the controls of these channels neutral anyway: the sound modifications can often be done better in the FX processing unit, and the levels are usually controlled pre FX (per channel!) rather than post FX, which has normally the same result since parallel effects are almost always linear. And often on analog consoles, you don't have such a lot of input channels that you can afford to spend any of them on FX returns. But then there's still these nice little Aux return channels, which do just what you need.
Of course, you can also use Aux returns as simple little line input channels, if you've already run out of these and don't need preamp control, EQs etc. for some signals.
I have seen it used to provide an effects path (aux-send : effects : aux-return)
From Wikipedia's Aux-Send article: The signal from the auxiliary send is often routed through outboard audio processing effects units (e.g., reverb) and then returned to the mixer using an auxiliary return input jack, thus creating an effects loop. This allows effect to be added to an audio source or channel within the mixing console.
an Aux Return is a level-control-only input that generally feeds directly into the Mix Bus (rather than using up a fully-featured channel), and has no aux send from it (automatically preventing feedback through the device).

H33rsay: Dishonored 2 announcement due for E3 2014Written by: / / 11 Comments
H33rsay is El33tonline's round-up of game industry rumours and speculation where we have looks at unconfirmed and unannounced pieces of news emerging from anonymous tipsters, information leaks and generally dubious sources. It may not all be true, but it's still fun to talk about!
If you've begun hankering for a sequel to 2012's excellent Dishonored from Arkane Studios, then there just may be an announcement in store for you at E3 2014 in June.
According to a leaked image from a supposed presentation, anyway, the next entry to first-person steal-action series may be called Dishonored 2: Darkness of Tyvia – here's the image:
Is the image real? Well, the odds are against it but we'll be sure to find out when E3 2014 rolls around from June 10th through to June 12th, once again taking place in Los Angeles.
Do you hope that we'll be getting Dishonored II after playing the first game? Has Thief been able to scratch the stealth-action itch or have you found Square Enix's game to be inferior to Bethesda's take on the genre?

David Burrows was a police officer in his previous career-and now the Grayville School District technology coordinator is returning to his roots.
Burrows was named the district's new school safety resource officer by the Grayville School Board at its monthly meeting Wednesday night.
The move came following an executive session lasting more than an hour and is the district's latest response to the December school shootings in Newtown, Conn., that resulted in the deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Not included in the total are the shooter, who committed suicide, and his mother, whom he killed before invading the school.
Burrows joined the district after a stint as an officer with the Grayville Police Department. Prior to that, he worked as a White County sheriff's deputy.
His appointment is "pending necessary approvals," and he will continue as the district's technology coordinator, according to Supt. Sarah Emery. "It won't involve any more pay," she said.
In his new capacity, Burrows will serve "as more of a liaison (with law enforcement) and it won't involve doing anything unless we have a crisis," she said.
An "active shooter drill" will be held at the Grayville campus on March 28 involving city and county officers and the Illinois State Police, it was reported.
"Not that anything prepares you for that sort of thing, but every time you practice, it helps you," Wells Elementary School Principal Dr. Melissa Crow told the board.
Every classroom is now outfitted with a "go kit" to be utilized in the event of evacuation, she said. They contain items such as a class roster, a whistle, a tarp, bottles of water and candy bars for regulating blood sugar, as well as a copy of the district's emergency plan.
The high school was on a buzzer entry system prior to the Newtown incident, and the district is proceeding with installation of a system at Wells School, Crow said.
As a "short-term solution," all doors at the elementary school are now being locked, with visitors pushing a doorbell to get the attention of school staff.
"It's been received very well," Crow said.

Say I have a 5/5 indestructible creature. An opponent plays a 3 damage spell on this creature. After that spell resolves, the opponent then plays a spell which gives the creature -2/-2 until end of turn. Does the creature die?

It becomes a 5/5 with 3 damage marked on it.
Perhaps you've played DotP where this is shown as 5/2 on the screen, but that's misleading because damage does not reduce toughness. (Damage from a source with Wither or Infect can grant -1/-1 counters which in turn reduce toughness, but that doesn't appear to be what you're asking about.)
So it becomes a 3/3 with 3 damage marked on it.
No. It has positive toughness, and lethal damage does not destroy indestructible creatures.
No, he would be a 3/3 marked with 3 damage. This 3 damage would be 'lethal', but since he is indestructible, he is immune to such deaths.

Today is Thanksgiving Day.
It's a day for food, family and football, traditions that help make the day special. It's also a natural point for reflection, a chance to take a few moments to remember the good things in our lives, a chance to make the holiday truly one of thanks.
All of us can be thankful for the communities we live in, places where neighbors still know one another and always stand by to help when problems arise. We must also be thankful for our family and friends, the people who stand with us in good time, but, more important, are there when things go bad.
If you are employed, be thankful for your job, and, please, remember those who are not as fortunate.
Be thankful that you have a warm place to stay and that you have food to eat, and, please, take the time to remember those who are cold, those who have no place to call home and those who know the pain of hunger all too well.
And, while Americans are continue to be sharply divided along political, religious and social lines, we must be thankful because we remain a nation that chooses its leaders on a set schedule at the ballot box and always is able to complete the transition of power in a peaceful, respectful manner.
Above all, be thankful for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
Be thankful that we can worship as we choose, disagree with our government and elected officials and decide for ourselves how we will lead our lives, things that most of the people who live on Earth can only dream of.
Be thankful that there are men and women who are willing to stand guard around the world in the name of the United States of America, defending the freedoms we all too often take for granted.
Have a happy Thanksgiving.

Unanswered: store.remove() and store.sync() with localhost proxy what I'm doing wrong?
Hi to all,
i have some problems with store.sync() after a store.remove() function
here's my code:
Ext.define('MyApp.store.MyStore', { extend: 'Ext.data.Store', config: { model: 'MyApp.model.MyModel', autoLoad: true, sorters: 'name', proxy: { type: 'localstorage', id: 'mystore' } } });
MyADD : function() { //.................. Ext.getStore("MyStore").add(myrecord); Ext.getStore("MyStore").sync(); mystore.load(); //.................. },
MyRemove: function() { //.................. Ext.getStore("MyStore").remove(myrecord); Ext.getStore("MyStore").sync(); mystore.load(); //.................. },
if i add some records, reload all the app, and remove the records I have non problems,
if i add a records ad them remove it (without reloading the app) this record seems deleted but reappears after another mystore.load() , the records added BEFORE a reload of the app are succesfully deleted, i have this problemo only with remove() and removeall() , no problems with record adding or modifiyng
I already tried to change autoLoad or autoSync proprieties and load/sync manually without results
what I'm doing wrong?

of course i check,
the record get removed from the localstorage (google chrome) ad after a second load() it reappears in the view and in the storage (same id)
I've noticed other unusual behaviors:
* if I "modify" the record with and add() before removing it the cancellation is effective an the record don't reappears
Ext.getStore("MyStore").add(myrecord); Ext.getStore("MyStore").remove(myrecord); Ext.getStore("MyStore").sync(); mystore.load();
If i don't remove all the records everithing works fine. I don't know if this second behavior is related to the first but I'ts causing me much more problems because every removeAll() mess up al the app.

Here is my setup for monopod solution with R10
Base set up
Monopod base exploded view
Thanks to Nick for making special pole base with longer stud.
Nice setup Wilco
Great setup Wilco !
Please I need some information and advice if anyone could help me.
I already have a NN Pole and footplate. And recently ordered the Rotator Mini RM4.
There's any way to use the RM4 with a standard monopod or NN pole ?
I just ordered a Gitzo monopod and would like to use my NN footplate with it.
It will work or I will need to ask for a special footplate with longer stud ?
Thanks a lot,
Hi Toni,
I did not have this nice new rotator in my hands yet. Having a look to the pics, there are two pairs of sockets on top of the rotator: smaller and wider distance. To mount it to the footplate, you have to use the ones with smaller distance and rotator upside down. You end up with a 3/8" socket on top of this construction. Use the 3/8" screw that came with the pole to connect the footplate rotator combination to the Fanotec Pole. You need a 3/8" socket at the base of your monopod to use it with this combination. I hope, the Gitzo spikes use a 3/8" thread on top of their spikes. Then you are a lucky guy and can connect the footplate combination to your monopod directly. In case you like to use the RM4 on top of the monopod, just ask for a solution.

Hi Toni360,
RM4 is new product and it is not available when I build up my rig. Gitzo tripod of monopod comes with 3/8-16 female thread inside. The thread was a little bit inside and I make special order to make longer stud for pole base rotator. If you use regular pole base rotator, the thread and screw mated only small part.
I believe RM4 comes with 3/8-16 female thread, which you can use with Gitzo monopod in top of monopod instead of bottom. If you want to use pole foot plate attached to monopod, you need to make hole with 3/8-16 and use 3/8-16 nuts and directly attached to pole base. I will post photo of it by tomorrow.
Is this rig for shooting pole panos over your head while you stand in one place?

Multivariate stable polynomials: theory and applications
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Univariate polynomials with only real roots, while special, do occur often enough that their properties can lead to interesting conclusions in diverse areas. Due mainly to the recent work of two young mathematicians, Julius Borcea and Petter Brändén, a very successful multivariate generalization of this method has been developed. The first part of this paper surveys some of the main results of this theory of multivariate stable polynomials--the most central of these results is the characterization of linear transformations preserving stability of polynomials. The second part presents various applications of this theory in complex analysis, matrix theory, probability and statistical mechanics, and combinatorics.

I cannot turn Bluetooth off on my MacBook Pro. I am running 10.7.4 and the option to turn it off is grayed out, both in the toolbar and in System Preferences. I used Onyx to reset permissions but to no avail. Help, please! I am not using any Bluetooth devices and I'm not sure when or how it got turned back on, but I've always made sure it was turned off. My battery is paying the price!
If the issue is corrupted bluetooth preferences, which is my best guess, the following should fix it:
Move the following files to your desktop:
Restart your Mac.
This will force your Mac to forget all it's Bluetooth settings so you will have to re-pair all your devices.
I would install a clean copy of OS X on to an external drive and test to see if your current OS is corrupt. If the hardware doesn't let you turn it on or off with a clean install, you have saved yourself having to back up and erase the internal drive and know to take it in for repair.
If you find it's corruption, you could then run Migration Assistant to take the data from the internal drive to the new clean OS and re-test before doing the erase and copy of a working OS with your personal data and settings.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

I found the following caption and lead copy in today's New York Times. Does 'jolt into civility' mean 'get calmed down quickly," "resume normality soon after the incident"? Is "jolt into" civility, normalty, composure, recovery, whatever, a frequently-used phrase?
After Tucson, Is the Anger Gone? In the past, the nation has been "jolted into civility." But it's unclear whether this will happen after the killings in Tucson.

Wayne Elementary will close
March 1, 2013
MINGO JUNCTION — The Indian Creek Local School District's board made the call Thursday — Wayne Elementary will close at the end of the school year....
Performance Audit Finds $1.7 Million in Savings for Indian Creek Local Schools
Nearly $800,000 in unnecessary bus and building expenditures is among more than $1.7 million in potential savings for Indian Creek Local School District (Jefferson County) identified in a performance audit released by Auditor of State Dave Yost. "The district is making progress on deficit reduction," Auditor Yost said. "These recommendations should help achieve the ultimate goal of operating with a balanced budget." Nearly $800,000 in savings could be obtained from eliminating unnecessary buses from the fleet and from reconfiguring buildings to increase usage rates and eliminate unused capacity. Approximately $650,000 in savings would result from bringing staffing levels in line with peers, and $333,000 from bringing health insurance contributions and various work-related benefits such as leave and tuition reimbursement in line with peers.

This is a real shame. I feel bad for the teachers and staff as they work very hard and create a great learning environment for their students. I am just curious if past practices by the school board and senior administrators will prove true. The biggest blunder was Wintersville Elementary, they shut it down because it was structurally unstable, an engineering firm moved in and said nothing was wrong with the building. Second, they sold the football facility in Mingo to the village of Mingo for $1 which was then resold to Wheeling Pitt for hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a graduate of Indian Creek, I feel that the people in district deserve better leadership. It is up to you to make a difference, vote them all out and find a new superintendent. Sometimes change is good.

Wintersville and Wayne, drained all the money from Mngos coffers while the money was there, so now they need to depend on levies.
Good luck.

Click here to download the Policy PDF
It is the policy of New York University (NYU, "the University") that NYU complies with the United States (Public Law 95-507) which states that small business concerns (e.g., women, minority) shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts awarded by any Federal agency. This policy requires that for each contract funded by a Federal agency that exceeds $650,000 a Subcontracting Plan shall be negotiated and administered in accordance with Federal contract requirements.
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance on the coordination, preparation and administration of a Subcontracting Plan for Small Business Concerns for Federal contracts or pass-through funds.
This policy is applicable to all schools, departments, units and personnel of the University involved in administering sponsored awards.
The University will submit to and negotiate with the Federal agency a subcontracting plan which addresses separately purchasing and subcontracting with small and disadvantaged business concerns, and shall be included in the contract. Plans are generally submitted at the application stage and refer directly to budget projections. As a result, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) assists the Purchasing Department with the development of such plan. A waiver may be granted by the sponsoring agency whenever there are likely to be no opportunities to subcontract to small business vendors. Such a waiver will be negotiated by OSP with the sponsor.
Coordination – The Purchasing Department is designated as the Liaison Office for the Subcontracting/Subawards Program with the following responsibilities.
Preparation & Administration - Program Manager/PI, Department/Laboratory Administrator, Contract Officer, Purchasing Department
To be approved by the contracting sponsor, a subcontracting plan must:
Administration of Small Business Plan:
|Effective Date:
|September 01, 2013
|Issuing Authority:
|Sponsored Programs Administration
|Responsible Officer:
|Assistant Vice-President for Post-Award Administration
Federal Contract (Procurement)
The appropriate agreement to be used in a relationship between the Federal government and a recipient whenever: (1) the principal purpose of the relationship is to acquire by purchase, lease, or barter property or services for the direct benefit or use of the Federal government; or (2) a Federal executive agency determines in a specific instance that the use of a type of procurement contract is appropriate. Federal contracts are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
Small Business Subcontract Plan
Mandated under FAR 52.219-9 and applicable to Federal contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $650,000); a plan is required which details the amount of goods or services, which will be acquired from Small Businesses.
Federal Regulations
NYU Approach and application of this policy, related resources and more available in the Handbook.

5 Ways The World Could End (You'd Never See Coming)
#2. Global Dimming
Global Dimming? What the hell is this, do we really need another Global ____ing crisis of some kind?
It's exactly what it sounds like, enough stuff gets into the atmosphere that it blocks the sunlight enough to shift temperatures. It's happened in the past due to the previously mentioned supervolcanoes, and it could be happening now in some parts of the world, due to pollution.
Angelinos will be unable to notice this phenomenon.
Whoa, wait a second. If it's making the world cooler, and the big problem is warming, then what the hell are we complaining about? It's less a natural disaster and more of an ironic superhero.
Uh Oh...
...Until you get to the side effects. Global dimming happens now because some pollutants act as cloud "seeds," that is water molecules in the air cling to them and form clouds. These pollutants form more and smaller collections of water, making the clouds denser and shinier, and therefore reflecting more light back into space.
These same pollutants are the ones responsible for acid rain, smog and a handful of other nasty shit. It also causes changes in weather patterns, leading to greater rainfall in some areas and droughts in others.
Some people believe that global dimming might have already lead to the massive droughts that ruined Africa back in the 70s and 80s, but the real shitstorm comes from the belief that if we cut back on the emissions that cause global dimming, global warming will suddenly accelerate and fuck us all, because that may be one of the mechanisms keeping global warming in check.
So Are We Doomed?
At the end of the day, most of the practices that cause the dimming also cause the warming. Going green fixes both problems in the long run. So while some people have actually suggested increasing the dimming to prevent the warming in the short term, this is kind of like killing a hooker and instead of just calling a lawyer to plea down to manslaughter, killing all of the witnesses in hopes that somehow you'll eventually kill enough people that the cops will stop investigating. It really doesn't work that way.
Or, on more scientific terms, Gavin Schmidt from NASA says:
"Ideas that we should increase aerosol emissions to counteract global warming have been described as a 'Faustian bargain' because that would imply an ever increasing amount of emissions in order to match the accumulated greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, with ever increasing monetary and health costs."
Of course, "monetary and health costs" would be the Vengeful Pimp in this analogy.
#1. Methane Burps (The Clathrate Gun Hypothesis)
You can immediately see from the title of this entry that this phenomenon has two names, and that one of them has to be utterly inappropriate. Either the situation is wacky and harmless like a burp, or it's something you'd name after a fucking sci-fi supervillain's doomsday weapon (a "Clathrate Gun").
So which is it?
Uh Oh...
Methane burps are, sure enough, huge belches of methane coming from the ocean floor and permafrost, and they make an 18-wheeler's carbon footprint look like a baby koala. Since they're a terrifying death sentence for life as we know it, we should probably be calling it the Gun thing from now on (so-named because once this is set in motion, it is unstoppable, just like firing a gun).
It works like this: Heating in the atmosphere causes the permafrost to thaw, or for underwater methane clathrate deposits to release. Methane is much more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, so it would drastically cut the amount of time global warming needs to take hold.
The shitty news? The sudden increase in temperature would spur the release of even more methane, which would raise the temperature even more, which would release even more methane... You get the idea (and the bullet analogy).
So Are We Doomed?
The bad thing is, this isn't something concocted by eggheads crunching numbers on theoretical doomsday scenarios. It has happened before. Twice.
The second time was about 55-million years ago and screwed up the environment for almost 100,000 years. The first was in the wake of the aforementioned supervolcano from 251-million years ago that, as we said, killed off almost every living thing on Earth.
See, volcanoes can also cause global warming (due to CO2 they release) so with CO2 again on the rise--this time thanks to thousands of power plants and millions of cars--it's at least possible the trigger could get pulled on the Clathrate Gun. But how likely is it?
Right now, we have no freaking idea. So why not call it the "Methane Russian Roulette Hypothesis?" Because scientists have no imagination, that's why.
