Miami sends Clemson to 0-3 finish in ACC tournament
Hurricanes top Tigers 7-0
Published: Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.

DURHAM, N.C. — Bryan Radziewski threw eight shutout innings and Miami beat Clemson 7-0 on Saturday at the Atlantic Coast Conference baseball tournament.
Radziewski struck out five and allowed four hits to help the eighth-seeded Hurricanes (36-23) finish 1-2 at the tournament, snap a three-game losing streak and send the fifth-seeded Tigers (39-20) to an 0-3 finish.
"We couldn't get anything going offensively today," Clemson head coach Jack Leggett said.
Brad Fieger gave the Hurricanes all the offense they would need with a two-run double in the first inning.
Byrnes product Steven Duggar had two hits to lead Clemson, which made three errors. The Tigers will enter the NCAA tournament on a five-game losing streak.
"We'll take the bus ride home, hit the weight room tomorrow and practice on Monday," Leggett said. "We've been through some adversity before and we've got to come off it and play well."

The Lightning Rule (Paperback)
They say lightning never strikes the same spot twice. Detective Martin Emmett is about to prove the exception to the rule. It is the summer of 1967 and a heat wave is bringing Newark, New Jersey's simmering racial tensions to a boiling point. Banished to desk duty, his career on the line, Emmett is offered a chance at professional redemption if he can quickly and quietly solve the murder of a black teenage boy whose mutilated body has been found in a subway tunnel. But Emmett discovers that the teen is a victim of a sadistic predator who abducts boys to use as prey in a twisted game of cat and mouse. While the riots engulf Newark, crippling the city with chaos, Emmett must track down the killer before the next hunt begins.

You are newly certified, fresh from team teaching and ready to lead your first solo Spinning® class. How exciting! It's time to sit down to prepare the ride. Pick the Energy Zone. Check! Stare at a blank piece of paper and wonder what to do next…… Suddenly, nerves set in and panic hits. "What do I do now? Where do I start? What songs do I like? What if I get up there and freeze?" All of these thoughts surface at once and may cause a severe case of stage fright. Relax and take a deep breath! There are many people to offer support and if you know where to look, lots of available resources.
If you're a brand new instructor it may seem overwhelming to plan a profile, especially if the class is full of unfamiliar members. Pick up a copy of the Spinning® Ride Book to ease your anxiety! It is a laminated binder with 52 pre-made profiles, each written by a Master Instructor. All Energy Zones are included along with technique cues. Using this resource allows you to focus on music selection and delivering the class with confidence. However, if the Ride Book is not an option, sit down with the Instructor Manual and flip to the section about profile design. Make note of the cadence and heart rate parameters for your selected Energy Zone then think of a goal and title for the ride. Increasing time or repetition of a jump is an example of a goal. Keep it simple and remember you do not have to use all the core movements in each profile. Plan the movements around the goal. Next is music. Use songs from at least three genres if possible to maintain variety. Listen to your music – what feelings does it stir up? Does it "feel" like a flat road or a hill climb? Fast or slow? Always choose the music AFTER creating the profile to ensure the BPM's match the movements. Find an inspirational phrase or motivational cue to use sometime during the class. Also, make sure the music has clean lyrics. Finally, be confident! Coach with enthusiasm and your members will come back every week for more!
Remember, every Instructor has shared these nerves and anxieties, so be comforted in knowing you are not alone! Reach out to the many groups on Facebook for help or visit www.spinning.com for more instructor resources.

TORONTO - Summer city youth employment was discussed during Monday's City Council meeting.
Mayor John Geddis told council members the city's hiring for summer youth would include picking the best candidates for the job.
"(Monday) was the last day to apply for summer jobs (for the city)," said Geddis, adding the city can only employ so many youth for the summer.
However, there are funds available for hiring city youth for summer jobs through the Jefferson County Community Action Council. Geddis said he hoped the city would be able to hire additional help this summer through the CAC's summer youth jobs program. He added those applying for the part-time, CAC jobs have to be income-eligible. He said in the past city supervisors were in charge of youth working in Toronto hired through the CAC's program.
"It's difficult to take all these kids without supervision," said Geddis, adding the CAC requires youth be trained for the jobs assigned. "I don't know who the team leader would be."
Geddis added he wanted qualified candidates for the summer positions.
"We're probably going to participate in the (CAC's) program," he said.
In other matters:
Geddis said the city's pool was being readied, along with the splash pad for summer use.
Fire Chief Frank McEwen said there would be no Safety Day Demonstration this year for Gem City Day. He said last year's event was stressful for firefighters, adding they also had to be on hand for the stadium fireworks demonstration later in the evening.
The building housing the former Save-A-Lot grocery store on Fourth Street has been inspected for asbestos contamination, according to the mayor. The readings will have to be reported to the Environmental Protection Agency before the building can be demolished.
"The closing date (for the building's sale) is supposed to happen this month," said Geddis.
The building is being demolished to make way for a Dollar General store.

Financial Shares Provide a Boost
Dow Industrials Climb 47.46 Points to Highest Level Since 2007; Technology Companies Fall Back
Financial shares led major U.S. stocks indexes to five-year highs, putting the Dow industrials 1% away from their record close, amid upbeat earnings reports.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 47.46 points, or 0.3%, to 14018.70, its highest close since October 2007. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 2.42 points, or 0.2%, to 1519.43. The Nasdaq NDAQ -0.16 % Composite Index shed 5.51 points, or 0.2%, to 3186.49, as technology shares lagged behind.

Avon Products AVP 4.90 % jumped 3.51, or 20%, to 20.79, leading the S&P 500, after the cosmetics vendor said its loss widened, but core earnings topped analysts' views. It also reported progress in stabilizing its sales and said it expects to repay a chunk of its debt in coming months.
"The early months of any year are often seasonally strong for the stock market, and this year was no exception," said Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors, which oversees $380 billion. "The important question is, were those gains earned? Based on the earnings results that we've gotten so far, it seems as though they were."
Investors awaited President Barack Obama's State of the Union address tonight. The president is expected to prod Congress to move to spur the economy and touch on immigration, gun control and climate change.
"Investors will be listening for any change of direction in the balance between taxation and spending," Mr. Creatura said.

Hey gang,
Apologies all around for this bug, essentially the problem is Java 1.6 does NOT have forEach support. We had been testing on a mac with 1.7 so everything seemed smooth. Cmd 4.0.1 will fix this bug but wont be out for a little while so there are some ways to fix this now.
First you can upgrade to Java 1.7 on your system.
Second option is to use PhoneGap instead of Cordova. PhoneGap internally checks for missing platforms whereas in the Cordova Packager we had to do this ourselves, which is where the loop comes in. If you init your app with PhoneGap instead this will not be an issue
Last option is to use the attached cordova-impl.xml file. You will need to rename this file from cordova-impl.xml.txt to just cordova-impl.xml. You then need to replace the cordova-impl here:

Java 1.6 does NOT have forEach support
What you mean?
for (SomeType var : someCollection) { ... }
If so that existed since 1.5 so problem ins't what you said.

On my LG-ally, I keep accidentally turning on silent mode. What exactly am I doing to cause this, and is there any way to disabled whatever the action is?
Are you perhaps using the volume control and going all the way to the "bottom"? That turns on silent mode in my Droid.
Are you hitting the wrong option on the menu when you hit the power button?
I'm not familiar with the LG Ally, so I don't know if they might have added an extra feature to make it easy to get into silent mode. Did you check the manual?
My apologies if this is too much of a me-too, but I'll second Al Everetts comments on the volume control.
I have this problem in 2 situations: 1. In the bracket I use in the car, one of the foam blocks rests a little on the down volume button. I've since cut the foam to reduce this issue. 2. When I'm holding it in landscape mode, I often bump the volume buttons.
There are on-screen indicators though, so I usually don't do it without noticing.
I had a similar problem on my MotoDroid, and downloaded RingGuard from the Market. It's a simple app that detects whenever the ring volume changes and pops up an on-screen dialog to confirm. If you don't confirm the change within a couple of seconds, it cancels it.
I had this problem with my new HTC touch. I kept accidentally pressing the 'volume down' button whilst holding the phone. After putting a gel case on the phone, this is not longer a problem, as the case covers the buttons so they're not so sensitive.

If we look at the atomic positions in a single crystal sample with a diamond like lattice, there exist directions along which there are long hexagonal "tubes" (I'm not sure if these have a proper term).
This happens in silicon for example. Now if a hydrogen atom was inserted in the material, it would be too large and just get trapped in the 'matrix' of the silicon and present a defect in the material.
If instead I took a proton and muon in a bound "muonic hydrogen" state, the bohr radius which goes like 1/m would be ~ 200x's smaller. Due to being neutral, small, and tightly bound (a binding energy > 2.5 keV), I am tempted to view it almost like a large neutron.
My question is:
Due to its much smaller size, could such a 'large neutron' pass freely through a crystal along one of these tubes?
Could one eliminate trapped hydrogen in a crystal by making it "mobile" in this fashion by putting the sample in a muon beam of low enough energy that it won't damage the crystal structure but still create 'muonic hydrogen'?

Are there any libraries in Java that come close to providing the functionality of Linq?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
To get full LINQ query syntax, you would need an update to the language spec and compilers supporting the new keywords and syntax structure. This is far beyond most readers here.
In order to get Linq-like method-chain syntax in Java that looks and works like what's in C#, you need two things Java doesn't support; extension methods (static methods that can be applied to an instance as if it were an instance method), and lambda expressions (anonymous delegates). However, those two can be spoofed with existing Java constructs, if you're willing to incur a little extra coding verbosity. One thing I find particularly amazing about Java is the ability to create anonymous interface implementations; applied to an interface with a single pure function, that basically allows for simple anonymous delegates, provided you have an interface for each method signature you'll need.
So, the IEnumerable (Iterable for the Javaheads) side of Linq, as a method chain, should be possible to approximate in Java; you'd basically implement it as a fluent interface that controls a monad. You'd need a class like a
So, you could probably define a "fluent" library that would allow a statement such as:
Creation of the actual library is an exercise far beyond the scope of an answer on an internet Q&A. I just said it was possible, not easy.
Expression trees are not rocket science, but it would be a significant project to implement what .NET has in this area; not only do you need the ability to build an expression tree, you need to be able to "compile" this tree on the fly using emitted bytecodes; I don't know if Java's reflection is quite that powerful.
No. Linq requires lots of langage features that Java just dosent have
Use Scala, for the reasons explained here:
If you can't, you can try to use libs like functionjava or lambdaj, but you won't come really close to LINQ.
I'd add guava to the list of libraries that may help you achieve some of the things LINQ does.
But as others have pointed out, there is no equivalent in pure Java.
You could use Korma, a DSL for SQL queries written in Clojure.
Syntax is pretty neat:
You can call this pretty easily from Java by importing the relevant Clojure libraries and just using the normal Clojure/Java interop.
There isn't a native feature in java that mimics linq. However, there are several APIs that provide the same functionality.
For example, this blog post has a custom jar to replicate linq.
And this is an example usage of the API from the post:
Suppose we have an Animal object containing name and ID which is represented with a list of
There are two other APIs referenced in the blog posting: lambdaJ and jLinq

ST. PAUL, Minn. (October 14, 2013)—St. Jude Medical says its first-of-its-kind wireless pacemaker will soon be the market in Europe, but not the U.S. after the company received European approval to market the device.
The device was developed by California-based startup, Nanostim, with funding from St. Jude, a Minnesota-based device giant, which said it would acquire the smaller company for $123 million.
Pacemakers help the heart maintain a steady heartbeat and the traditional surgical procedure creates a small pocket in the chest for the device and its wires, which attach to the heart.
The new Nanostim pacemaker is implanted directly into the heart using a less intensive, catheter-based procedure.
St. Jude is still conducting required studies of the device in the U.S.
St. Jude has been plagued in recent years by recalls of lead wires with its other leading product, defibrillators, which correct dangerous irregular heartbeats.

STEUBENVILLE - In retrospect, Shawna Ovalle figures she might have gone overboard passing out flyers announcing the opening of La Grande Taqueria, a new Mexican restaurant in downtown Steubenville.
When they opened their doors June 1, "we had an outrageous response that first day," she said. "I passed out too many," she said with a wry laugh. "I didn't realize they'd all come. I thought it would be like when you hand out birthday party invitations ... I wasn't prepared for (the turnout). We had people waiting for tables, and we were 10 deep in to-go orders. I wasn't expecting that big a response, and service wasn't where I wanted it to be."
That's the bad news.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN — Shawna Ovalle and her husband, Daniel, are cooking up plenty of authentic Mexican meals at their new restaurant, La Grande Taqueria, at 104 N. Fourth St., Steubenville. Mrs. Ovalle said having their own restaurant has been a lifelong dream. Open Monday through Saturday, La Grande Taqueria offers breakfast, lunch and dinner items. -- Linda Harris
The good news, she said, is that "we were able to see what we need to do to make everything run better and faster."
"We were able to see what needed to be fixed," she said. "Yesterday I had tables of seven and 10, and they were pleased with how quickly they got their food. We have food out within 10 or 15 minutes for most orders. That's important, because a lot of people come in on their lunch break."
Ovalle and her Guatemala-born husband, Daniel, had always talked about getting into the food business.
"It was kind of a pipe dream," she said. "But things just fell into place."
The biggest "thing" was that Daniel, her husband of 18 years, lost his job in the cable industry and couldn't find work in his field. That left the Ovalles with the time and opportunity to follow their dream.
She said a Mexican restaurant was the logical choice, since it's the same foods her husband grew up with in Guatamala.
"We decided it was the time to try a new venture," she said. "We'd always wanted to do it, it was something we talked about, but you just don't leave a good job with good benefits."
Daniel, second youngest of 11 children, came to the U.S. to live with an older brother who'd already emigrated with his family. They met in Missouri, and ended up in Steubenville at the urging of another brother whose former wife was from here. One of Daniel's nephews, Kevin Benito of Manheim, Pa., is a partner in the business.
She said when she met Daniel, she couldn't cook a lick.
"I burned beans," she said, laughing. "But once I got the foundation from my husband and his family, I can cook anything."
These days they're both comfortable in the kitchen - at home and at work.
"We've always had a passion for cooking and people love to eat our food," she said. "For instance, the salsa is my recipe," she said. "And I do the marinade for the chicken. But we both cook, so if he were sick I could do it."
Ovalle said La Grande Taqueria is authentic Mexican, not the "Tex-Mex" style favored by other restaurants and chains.
"Ours is more authentic," she said. "We don't use the crispy shell tortillas, we use soft shell. Nothing is prepackaged or frozen - with a lot of the chains, everything is pre-made. We serve our salsa warm, I think it unlocks the flavor - most places you get it cold. I get an outrageous number of comments on how good our beans are - we make them fresh every day with seasonings, we don't just dump them out of the can and add water.
"It's really all in how you prepare the food: Anybody can open a can and warm up food, but it needs to be seasoned correctly, it has to have flavor."
Ovalle said their portions are big and the prices low. "I think the most expensive item on our menu right now is $7. And everything's homemade, it's made fresh every day."
La Grande Taqueria, Spanish for "The Big Taco," is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and closed Sundays. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner options, with favorites like tacos, burritos, and chimichangas.
They also serve up hand-rolled flautas, similar to taquitos, except they're made with flour tortillas wrapped around beef, chicken or pork and then deep fried.
"They come out light and fluffy, they kind of melt in your mouth," she said. "Once people try our food and see our prices, I think they'll realize we're not like any of the others. I don't feel like we're in competition with anyone else because our foods are so different."
They're located at 104 N. Fourth St., where the Green Mill used to be.
"A lot of buildings downtown the leases are low, it's affordable to start a business down here without worrying about a big mortgage or lease payment," she said. "That's one of the opportunities the downtown brings, it's a low start-up for new companies."
To-go service is available. To see the menu, go to www.Lagrandetaqueria.com, or call them at (740) 282-8226.

South Africa will start building a giant coastal oil terminal next year, which its investors said will be the largest on the continent. Destined for the western port of Saldanha Bay, 140 km from Cape Town, the commercial crude oil storage and blending terminal will cost around $194
JOHANNESBURG -- South Africa will start building a giant
coastal oil terminal next year, which its investors said will
be the largest on the continent.
"We are aiming to start construction by Q2 in 2014," said
Gideon Loudon, general manager of Oiltanking Grindrod Calulo
Holdings, one of the project's partner companies.
Destined for the western port of Saldanha Bay, 140 km from
Cape Town, the commercial crude oil storage and blending
terminal will cost around $194 million.
It should be up and running by the end of 2016 or beginning
of 2017, Loudon told AFP.
The terminal will have holding capacity for 13.2 MMbbl; the
equivalent of twelve tankers.
"I don't think there is a crude blending terminal this size
and of this nature in Africa at this stage," said Loudon.
His company, a subsidiary of world number two hydrocarbon storer Marquard & Bhals
of Germany, will operate the facility in a joint venture with
South African firm Mining, Oil and Gas Services (MOGS).
"Port of Saldanha is an excellent location for a crude oil
hub as it is close to strategic tanker routes from key oil
producing regions to major oil consuming markets," the firms
said in a statement.
It is ideally suited for the blending of West African and
South American crude oils.
Africa's largest economy is heavily dependent on imports,
over a quarter of which once came from Iran until United States
The Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, is still a
significant supplier, while Nigeria and Angola last year
supplied 41% of the country's crude needs.
The government has also made bilateral deals to increase its
access to oil as well as storage and refining capacity for export to its
PetroSA and Sinopec share a project to build an oil refinery in the Coega industrial
zone near southern city Port Elizabeth, due to come on line in

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.

Let me start with a rant... This was one of the worst audiences I've had the displeasure of seeing a performance with in a very long time... Crying babies, chirping cell phones, murmur of conversation well into the first few minutes after every intermission, untimely applausewhen Vishneva lined for the start of the fouettés, the audience started clapping before a note sounded ... It came very close to ruining a good afternoon of ballet for me.
Babies? (They can afford the tickets?) Cell phones? (Well, that's not really a surprise, though around here peple tend to wait until the instant they hit the lobby, leading to an awful lot of solitary individuals wandering around during intermission gabbling and gesticulating into empty space.)
Richard Wagner -- trainer of audiences who sat in silence in complete darkness, while focusing every particle of their being on what was taking place on the stage -- would be appalled. And, with the current high price of tickets, so am I.
Any other stories of particularly bad audience behavior at the ballet?

. It's interesting how the morality of the time insisted that Diana, as a "scandalous woman," be treated badly by everyone and ultimately sacrifice herself, but that doesn't diminish the allure of her freedom and unconventional sexuality. Which is also true of other pictures Garbo was making around this time.
Very true
Garbo is a true tragic heroine and like every genuine tragic figure she meets her fate which very often takes the form of death. In "woman of Affairs" this is particularly true, but what is more striking is that despite the moral outcry which makes Garbo un outcast, the audience always is on her side. This is so because Garbo makes us fully understand her motivations of her character and allow us to share her inner world. It also has something to do with Garbo's generous and radiant nature as an actress and her capacity to understand others and forgive (eneven her foes like Gilbert's father).
And above all she is her own master, both strong and vulnerable at the same time she decides for her own fate, so her suicide does not seem like a punishment but rather becomes a victorious act over a society of hypocrites.
Also agree regarding the previous post on Valentino he was marvellous in the "Four horsement of the Apocalypse" his best performance in my opinion.

The neuroimaging technique 3D-polarized light imaging (3D-PLI) has opened up new avenues to study the complex nerve fiber architecture of the human brain at sub-millimeter spatial resolution. This polarimetry technique is applicable to histological sections of postmortem brains utilizing the birefringence of nerve fibers caused by the regular arrangement of lipids and proteins in the myelin sheaths surrounding axons. 3D-PLI provides a three-dimensional description of the anatomical wiring scheme defined by the in-section direction angle and the out-of-section inclination angle. To date, 3D-PLI is the only available method that allows bridging the microscopic and the macroscopic description of the fiber architecture of the human brain. Here we introduce a new approach to retrieve the inclination angle of the fibers independently of the properties of the used polarimeters. This is relevant because the image resolution and the signal transmission influence the measured birefringent signal (retardation) significantly. The image resolution was determined using the USAF-1951 testchart applying the Rayleigh criterion. The signal transmission was measured by elliptical polarizers applying the Michelson contrast and histological slices of the optic tract of a postmortem brain. Based on these results, a modified retardation-inclination transfer function was proposed to extract the fiber inclination enabling the extraction of the fiber orientation consistently for the used polarimetric setup enabling a multiscale approach to investigate the human connectome.

What are some of the security concerns and reasons either for or against allowing X11 Forwarding. I have generally taken an approach of not allowing it under the blanket guise of security. Recently, I had a user indicated that they thought that the security implications of resulting from allowing X11 Forwarded sessions were negligible. I was curious to learn more about what the harm is in allowing X11 Forwarding and why one might want to allow it.
The implication of X11 forwarding is that it opens a channel from the server back to the client. In a simple SSH session, the client is more trusted than the server: anyone in control of the client can run commands on the server (assuming shell access), but the converse is not true. With X11 forwarding, the server is likely to gain shell access to the client.
In a text session, there is a limited channel from the server back to the client: the server determines the output that is displayed on the client, and can in particular try to exploit escape sequences in the terminal running on the client,
In an X11 session, the server can send X11 commands back to the client. X11 was not designed with security in mind, it was designed with the idea that all programs that you're displaying are run by you and hence trusted anyway. By default, SSH subjects commands from the server to restrictions through the X11 SECURITY extension. The SECURITY extension disables some obvious attacks such as keyboard grabs and key injection, but allows others like focus stealing.

I'm getting sick of Ubuntu's seemingly random changes. I'm thinking of switching to Debian permanently. Does anyone know if there's a list of changes between the two distros somewhere? I want to know what I'm getting myself into.
By list of changes I assume you mean major differences between the two distributions. I know little about Ubuntu, so I'll mostly write about Debian.
Probably the main thing that distinguishes Debian from pretty much every other operating system on the planet is Debian Policy, which is what drives Debian's famous quality control. Sadly, said quality control is looking a little frayed round the edges as the number of packages in Debian's archives heads north of twenty thousand. Just check out the RC bugs for squeeze. Ubuntu doesn't have anything like this, and its releases are noticeably buggier. I've run into problems despite my extremely light use of Ubuntu.
Another thing is that when you send a bug report to Debian you will, at least some of the time, get a response, and possibly a bugfix. (In general Debian developers, given that they are volunteers with little free time, are very friendly and helpful in my experience.) With other operating systems it is mostly a black hole. I used SuSE back in the 1990s for a couple of years. They had no real bug reporting system, but there was an address that you could send feedback to, and I never got a reply in all the times I wrote there. The only reply I got from anyone connected with SuSE during the whole time that I was using it was when I wrote directly to a packager's address. From what I have heard Ubuntu/Canonical is rather similar. I imagine fully proprietary systems like Windows are worse. It is also worth noting that in community developed operating systems like Debian, developers manage packages because they are interested in them, and not infrequently, are experts in the domain area. Eg. the PostgreSQL maintainer is a PostgreSQL developer, the Linux kernel maintainers are Linux developers, and so forth. This would be relatively unusual in a non-community OS.
Debian is hard to beat on their own ground, which is, roughly, making the world's best damn operating system. Yes, I'm biased.
If I had to point to downsides it is, obviously, that packages in Debian stable can get a little dated, but as the Linux kernel and its ecosystem moves towards maturity, it is less of a big deal that it used to be. I have nightmare recollections of Netscape 4.77 locking up my machine back in the day. Using free software took more dedication then. In any case, one can get stuff from backports, which is now an official service, or backport packages oneself, which is not really difficult. Ubuntu is much more focused on keeping software current with regular 6 month releases. Obviously, this can involve compromises in quality as noted above.
Also, Debian is completely dedicated to free software, which can occasionally cause inconveniences. Eg. the Debian kernel as of the squeeze release, no longer contains non-free software. One can use a netinst installer containing the non-free bits if you need non-free stuff, but there is no full installer with non-free. In contrast, Ubuntu/Canonical, have a much more... relaxed attitude towards non-free software.
Another thing is that the expected technical level in Debian is perhaps a bit higher, so the OS holds your hand a bit less than Ubuntu does. However, the underlying system is essentially the same, so I'm not sure how much difference that really makes in practice.
If you read changelogs, you will see a lot of collaboration between Debian and Ubuntu. Here is a workflow of the exchanges:
Security fixes not shown as they are everywhere except
The biggest difference between those siamese twins is how does a package leaves the unstable/beta state to join the releasable. In one case it is just time, in the other it is some form of quality assessment.
Personally, I choose Debian
For other person which ask for advise, I say "Ubuntu", for the sake of simplicity, people love to reinstall, I don't.
Here's more I'm aware of (on top of faif 's answer):
Go to the source:
Where did it all begin?
From: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu
And then see: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntu-and-debian
So, differences are thousands, but in the core, we're talking about a strong distro as debian is, with a well defined methodology and rules to say: ok, now it's "stable"; and an easy-to-use desktop system, with defined time to release a system with mostly new and untested software.
If you're a common desktop user, then you'll love ubuntu. Debian isn't built to be a newbie-friendly system, or something like that... say it's power-user-friendly. But maybe you don't like Ubuntu, nor debian, then try OpenSUSE (Learn YaST).
BUT: If you're a relatively advanced Linux User, try Debian. It's better than Ubuntu for experienced users, and i'd never found it "hard" to use.
BTW: I'm debian user since 4.0 "etch", and I love it.
Sorry about my English, Cheers
I used to run Debian, but got sick of waiting years for e.g.
Of course, the benefit of Debian's patient release philosophy is that the result is more secure and stable. IMHO this is a large part of the reason that it is the upstream distro for a number of others, including Ubuntu. However, if you're not running a server or otherwise in a security-critical environment, and/or need/want to have fairly recent versions of apps installed, then Debian may not be the best choice.
There's also the option to run the unstable version of Debian, which will also give you more recent apps. I am not sure how this compares in quality to running Ubuntu; I would guess that Ubuntu falls somewhere between Debian stable and unstable in terms of security and stability.
I think that this article explains some stuff. In short: different installers, no proprietary software and no impressive GUI settings in Debian by default, Debian's major updates can last for years (this is for good IMHO), Unstable, Testing, and Stable repositories -- you choose what to favor (security vs latest versions of applications)...
I use Ubuntu and a very close friend uses Debian. We both run pretty much the same packages. He is forever calling me to help him out of crises. Granted the silly things he has problems with most Debian users would not. He calls me because I have been successful in helping him when he accidentally crashed his entire system and I recovered it for him. No... I'm not a guru. I just read the book before using anything. That does not make me an expert. It is what everyone should do before using any system. That said: The difference is preference. I like Ubuntu only because it was easier to find my printer driver. I know that's a silly reason. I like Debian because it's cleaner, and I believe there are almost 20,000 packages available. It's a matter of preference. Debian is faster if that means anything. I say try them both and decide for yourself.
I'd suggest caution if you want to use Debian on the desktop. They don't seem to have the resources necessary to provide QA on the desktop side. For the past couple of years installing Debian Desktop leaves you without notifications for security updates.
That's been my biggest annoyance. Easy to work around, so consider this a heads up :). Just set
I have concerns which might be described as you did. I'm planning to eventually switch to ubuntu-gnome. That avoids the ubuntu-specific desktop, and the next release drops upstart for systemd, and avoids the need for necro-consolekit. It'll also avoid ubuntu-specific Mir. (I think ubuntu will eventually get Wayland - at least kubuntu aren't interested in Mir and will avoid it. It might take a bit longer to arrive, like with systemd, but X should be fine until then).

Galliford Named South Atlantic Conference Player of the WeekMarch 4, 2014
ROCK HILL, S.C. – After clubbing three home runs in a three-game series against Coker last weekend, senior outfielder Nathan Galliford has been named South Atlantic Conference Player of the Week for games played between Feb. 25-March 2, announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
For the week, Galliford was 5-for-15 (.333) with three home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored, adding a double in the win against North Greenville. The senior's final home run of the week was the eventual game-winning run as he blasted a pitch over the center-field wall for a two-run home run. For the season, Galliford has seven round-trippers, one shy of the nation's lead in the category.
The native of Miami, Fla. was a key component for Anderson's three-game sweep over conference newcomer, Coker, who advanced to the Division II College World Series a season ago. With the sweep, the Trojans join three other SAC teams with three losses at the top of the league standings.
Galliford is the first Trojan since former standout Brett Scarberry to earn SAC Player of the Week honors on Feb. 14, 2012.
The outfielder looks to lead the Trojans on Wednesday when AU heads to Fluor Field, home of Minor League Baseball's Greenville Drive, to face Southern Wesleyan. First pitch from the scenic ballpark is scheduled for 5 p.m.

WACO (December 12, 2012)--A man who was living in Waco last summer was in custody Wednesday in Dallas after his arrest Tuesday on a warrant charging sexual assault.
Clayton Berkley, 51, was held Wednesday in the Dallas County Jail, but the jail log did not reflect a bond.
Berkley was named in a warrant issued on Nov. 26 in the late May or early June sexual assault of a Waco woman at an apartment on Austin Avenue, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
The victim, who was in her mid-20s, did not report the assault for some time, but when she did, detectives were able to identify a suspect and obtain a warrant.
Swanton said Berkley was living at the Oak Lodge Motel at the time of the assault.
Members of the U.S. Marshal's Task Force arrested him on Tuesday.
Swanton said Berkley will be transferred to the McLennan County Jail.

Old Saybrook gives Chiefs a drubbing
WOODBURY — A dreary Saturday afternoon provided a result the Nonnewaug High football team has grown accustomed to in its short history.
Coming off a victory over East Hampton/Vinal Tech last week for their first win since 2008, the Chiefs came out flat against the strong running attack of Old Saybrook/Westbrook.
The Rams (2-1) relied solely on their run game, producing 374 total rushing yards in their 36-14 victory over the Chiefs.
Rams running back Jailan Swain stole the show with 256 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including one of 46 yards.
The Nonnewaug defensive line was dominated all game by Old Saybrook's use of sweep plays, options and shovel passes to jump-start its offense.
Nonnewaug coach John Oko gave credit to the Rams' offense. "They run the sweep and scissors real well," said Oko. "They sealed off our guys from inside out."
The Rams' offensive line continuously pushed back the Chiefs' defense and allowed little penetration up front.
Nonnewaug's offense was stagnant again. Entering Saturday's contest, Nonnewaug had played in three games and scored eight total points. The Chiefs (1-3) nearly doubled their season point total against Old Saybrook, but the points came late in the game against the Rams' junior varsity players.
Both Nonnewaug scores were on runs by John Gombos in the fourth quarter, from 40 and 20 yards out.
Oko attributed the lack of offense to the inability of the Chiefs' line to hold back the front seven of Old Saybrook.
"We just don't block. It's been a problem all year," said Oko. " I thought we had people open when we threw the ball. We just didn't take advantage."
The Chiefs' passing game was inconsistent, completing only four of 14 passes for 74 yards.
Turnovers also plagued Nonnewaug. Two fumbles resulted in two quick scores for the Rams, including a 30-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Austin Wotherspoon.
Oko acknowledged the turnover problem his team has battled this year and believes that turnovers sealed Nonnewaug's fate Saturday.
"The problem was we were playing from behind the whole game and it's tough to play like that," said Oko.
It will be especially tough for the Chiefs to play from behind next weekend when they face Cromwell, last year's Class S state runner-up.

Throughout Jon Pylypchuk's work is an irrepressible optimism, an underdog's against-all-odds drive for meaningful existence in a barbaric world. Hopefully I Will Live Through This… sprawls across the gallery floor in a chaotic rodent war of puke and death, as tiny rat-soldiers meet their demise not in a moment of battle glory, but an outbreak of poisoning. Crafted with farcical malevolence, Pylypchuk implies an 'us vs. them' narrative featuring viewer as villain: his microcosm spoilt by a towering on-looking exterminator. There's a pang of sympathy as the cute little nasties limp on gun-crutches and writhe in agony, but it's only momentary in the over all satisfaction of poetic justice well served.

The production halt was expected to last four weeks, but will resume a few days early
After a temporary halt in March, General Motors (GM) has announced that
production of the Chevrolet Volt
will start back up earlier than expected on April 16.
On March 19, GM put a halt on Chevrolet Volt production in order to get rid of some of the older versions of the plug-in electric hybrid and make room for those with the recent battery fix. Also, new Volts with the changes made for the California market are making their way into the inventory.
The production halt was expected to last for four weeks. However, new reports show that Volt production will resume a few days earlier than planned. GM has already started notifying Detroit-Hamtramck plant employees, where the Volt is assembled.
It's a good time to bring Volt production back to life, since it seems that Volt popularity has risen recently. In March, U.S.
Volt sales shot up to 2,289
, which is its best month yet since release. Of that total, 2,129 were sold to retail customers while 160 were sold to fleet customers.
Even former Republican
President George H.W. Bush jumped on the opportunity to buy a Volt
, and gave it to his son, Neil Bush, as a birthday present.
This surge in sales couldn't have come at a better time, either. The Volt had a difficult year throughout much of 2011 and during the beginning of 2012 due to problems with battery fires.
In May 2011, Chevrolet's Volt caught fire three weeks after a side-impact crash test conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Volt was parked in a NHTSA testing facility in Wisconsin, and was so severe that it ended up catching nearby cars on fire as well. This led to an investigation into the safety of lithium batteries.
Later, in November 2011, NHTSA conducted three more side-impact crash tests on three separate Volts.
Two out of three ended up sparking or catching fire
while the third remained normal.
GM moved quickly, offering loaner vehicles to customers and even buying Volts back from scared owners. In January 2012,
GM recalled 8,000 Volts off the road
as well as another 4,400 for sale in showrooms to fix the batteries. The fix entailed the addition of steel to the plate that protects the EV's T-shaped, 400-pound battery. This aimed to prevent penetration into the battery in case of an auto accident, and would stop both coolant from leaking and would evenly distribute the force of a crash.
The investigation placed a
bad image on the Volt
for awhile. Customers were afraid to purchase it, and
dealerships wanted nothing to do with it
since it wasn't selling.
Sales plunged
in January 2012 with only 603 Volts sold.
But it looks as if the Volt's luck is turning around, with March sales at its best and an early production start beginning in 10 days.
"It seems like we've sustained ourselves through this difficult period," said Dan Akerson, GM CEO. "We hope to get up to 3,000 plus in the coming months and are certainly positioning it."
According to Mark Reuss, president of GM North America, the Volt made a comeback because people are beginning to get to know the car well and understand how it works.
"We're matching production with demand," said Reuss.

RE: Good news
A few notes.
According the the Enviromental Law Institue, all subsidies and tax credits given to all Fossil Fuel companies from 2002-2008
Amount to ~72.8 Billion or roughly 10 Billion a year.
The primary form (as noted) is a tax credit for paying foriegn taxes under the reasonable doctorine that income shouldn't be taxed twice. This same underlying concept allows individuals to deduct real estate taxes, foriegn taxes, and state taxes. I think it might be good to get rid of this type of tax exception, but to do it just for one industry and not others makes little sense. The second biggest break comes in the form of a US manufacturing credit where a certain percentage of income made from US activities is excepted from taxation. New York Times and Starbucks both for instance use this credit as well. While getting rid of it might also be a good idea, it should be uniform for all businesses.
If you remove this two tax breaks from the equation, your down to ~21-28 billions over 7 years... or roughly 3-4 billion a year. Much of this money goes to reduce pollution, Research and Development credits, special projects, etc, etc. IE, stuff that's really hard to argue with when you actually examine the details.
From this 3-4 billion a year, these companies produce ~320 Billion gallons of gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, heating oil, jet fuel, etc and ~2.8 TkWh of electricity.
We are talking fractions of cents in terms of actual prices. Even if we added up all of the elements, the Government is subsidizing a normal persons use of gasoline by just a few dollars a year. And is spread out to almost the entire US population. IE, Since we all use gasoline and electricity, the subsidy while helping to slighly pad the bottom line of fossil fuel companies, benefits most people fairly.
In constrast, the plug-in credit of upto 7,500 for the first 200,000 by a manufacturing plug-ins could cost upto 1.5 billion per manufacturer. Given that there is clearly ~10 major manufacturers of cars, thats ~15 billion for 1/100 parts of the US population. Its a little bit like an office pool where everyone contributes 75 dollars, but there is only 1 winner out of 100. Everyone else is walking away initially empty handed. Oh, and participation is mandatory. I don't think that would be a popular program anywhere....

Equivalent of Ext.Panel.bodyCssClass
ExtJS 3.x Panels have a bodyCssClass property but ExtJS 4.x Panels don't.
Is there an equivalent property in 4.0? If not, how can I achieve the same effect?
17 Feb 2011 2:30 AM #2
you still have cls and style properties.
Also there is a new property "ui" which gives the possibility to prestyle a set of components.
17 Feb 2011 2:36 AM #3
Well yes, but I don't find an obvious way to specify a CSS class for the panel body content.
From what I've seen in the API docs, bodyBorder/Margin/Padding are there, but no class.

Don't be afraid of the source code!

Yeah but that would target all panel body's nested in that Panel. We will make sure to have something like bodyCls for the final release.
17 Feb 2011 3:36 AM #6
ah yes, the panel in the panel in the panel
17 Feb 2011 4:21 AM #7
@evant: Thanks, I haven't thought of that and it does the trick for my purpose (no nested panels)
@TommyMaintz: that would be great, the level of fine-grained customization Ext JS 3.x provides is one of its main strengths in my opinion.

Can someone provide a quick top level explanation of how Valgrind works? An example: how does it know when memory is allocated and freed?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Valgrind basically runs your application in a "sandbox." While running in this sandbox, it is able to insert its own instructions to do advanced debugging and profiling.
From the manual:
So basically, valgrind provides a virtual processor that executes your application. However, before your application instructions are processed, they are passed to tools (such as memcheck). These tools are kind of like plugins, and they are able to modify your application before it is run on the processor.
The great thing about this approach is that you don't have to modify or relink your program at all to run it in valgrind. It does cause your program to run slower, however valgrind isn't meant to measure performance or run during normal execution of your application, so this isn't really an issue.
Valgrind is a Dynamic Binary Analysis (DPA) tool that uses Dynamic Binary Instrumentation (DPI) framework to check memory allocation, to detect deadlocks and to profile the applications. DPI framework has its own low level memory manager, scheduler, thread handler and signal handler. Valgrind tool suite includes tool like
Valgrind tool uses disassemble and resynthesize mechanism where it loads the application into a process, disassembles the application code, add the instrumentation code for analysis, assembles it back and executes the application. It uses Just Intime Compiler (JIT) to embed the application with the instrumentation code.
Valgrind Core disassembles the application code and passes the code fragment to tool plugin for instrumentation. The tool plugin adds the analysis code and assembles it back. Thus, Valgrind provides the flexibility to write our own tool on top of the Valgrind framework. Valgrind uses shadow registers and shadow memory to instrument read/write instructions, read/write system call, stack and heap allocations.
Valgrind provides wrappers around the system call and registers for pre and post callbacks for every system call to track the memory accessed as part of the system call. Thus, Valgrind is a OS abstraction layer between Linux Operating system and client application.
The diagram illustrates the 8 phases of Valgrind :
valgrind sits as a layer between your program and the OS, intercepting calls to the OS requesting memory (de)allocation and recording what is being manipulated before then actually allocating the memory and passing back an equivalent. It's essentially how most code profilers work, except at a much lower level (system calls instead of program function calls).
Valgrind is basically a virtual machine that executes your program. It is a virtual architecture that intercepts each call to allocate/free memory.
Here you can find some nice info:
Besides familiarize yourself with LD_PRELOAD.

Unanswered: ext-core equiv of Ext.util.CSS.swapStyleSheet()
How would I best emulate the ExtJS swapStyleSheet() function using only ext-core.js?
var origStyle = true; Ext.get('swapper').on('click', function(){ if (origStyle){ Ext.util.CSS.swapStyleSheet('ss', '/lib/css/sec.css'); } else { Ext.util.CSS.swapStyleSheet('ss', '/lib/css/light.css'); } origStyle = !origStyle; })
21 Jul 2009 6:48 AM #2
A simple version ...
It depends on what aspect of this function you are using.
If all you really want to do is swap out a css, then you can do this ...
a) Create a link to the css with an id
HTML Code:
<link id="toswap" href="...
var toswap = Ext.getDom('toswap');
c) When you want to change the url, just change the href
toswap.href = "<NEW CSS FILEPATH>"
This mthod works in all browsers (ie 6,7,8, FireFox 3x,Chrome) and is simpler than removing and re-adding the link in the dom head and won't effect the order of your css.
More Complex Usage
If you are using the ascpect of the function that creates the link dynamically if it does not exist and assigns the supplied ID, then you'll want to do that using normal JS, much like the library does.
Note: If you want to emulate the process of removing and re-adding the link in the HEAD via dom manipulation, don't try to use DomHelper because of how it adds dom elements you create by way of a spec. It seems to insert HTML for this type add (which won't work in this case) .. hence the ExtJS code not using DomHelper I assume, but am open to correction .Joseph Francis,

Wow, thank you for an excellent reply. Unfortunately I had to continue the project I am working on with jQuery so, for now, the chance I had to invest in understanding and using Ext is gone but I'll certainly give it another go the next time I get a spare evening and will try your suggestion. It should have been a simple swapover from jQuery as I only needed Ajax calls (that was fine) and a method to swap stylesheets... but I just couldn't find a close enough ExtCore example to give me the right methodology and syntax.
21 Jul 2009 7:43 AM #4
Essentially speaking, the concept of swapping stylesheet is same, just like Joe's demonstration, no matter which library you choose to implement.
21 Jul 2009 7:58 AM #5
Well I think that assumes a fair degree of experience with a number of frameworks to understand the pattern. All I had to go on was the ExtJS example above and my working jQuery example...
$('.styleswitch').change(function() { switchStylestyle(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);return false;}); function switchStylestyle(styleName) { $('link[@rel*=style][title]').each(function(i) { this.disabled = true; if (this.getAttribute('title') == styleName) this.disabled = false; }); createCookie('style', styleName, 365); }
21 Jul 2009 9:11 AM #6
Here is a fancier version
While playing around with ways to swap style sheets I had made a version that is more dynamic and more error friendly then my earlier post. I didn't post that version due to it being an overly complex solution when an easy one for your end result may have been more appropriate.
Since you are learning, seeing this code may help.
Good Luck with your project.
Sample Functions
Creates or swaps out a css by passing the id/element and the url for the new css file.
link: Pass a string id of the link or the element to effect. The element can be either the dom element or an Ext Element that is the link you want to swap out.
Note: If a string value is passed and no element is found, one will be created and the ID set the value of link.
newurl: The string URL of the new css file.
function switchCSS( link, newurl){ if( !newurl ){return}; var elem = link.dom || Ext.getDom(link); if (!elem && typeof(link) !== 'object'){ //--- No link exists and we are looking for a string ID - then Add one to the header elem = document.createElement('link'); Ext.apply( elem, { rel: 'stylesheet', type: 'text/css', href: newurl }) //--- assume if a link is passed and it does not exist, the string passed must be id if( typeof(link) !== 'object' ){elem.id = link}; //--- Append to header - one time operation per ID Ext.fly(document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]).appendChild(elem); }; //don't crash even if I pass invalid stuff if (!elem){return}; elem.href = newurl; } //Sample usage var someurl = 'demo2.css'; switchCSS( 'toswap', someurl ); //or switchCSS( cssDom, someurl ); //or switchCSS( cssElement, someurl );
Finds a css by filename and swaps it out
filename: A string that is just the filename including .css. Do not use the path.
newurl: The string URL of the new css file.
//--- Function that swaps by filename if found function switchCSSByName( filename, newurl){ var elem; var finder = Ext.DomQuery.select("link[href$=" + filename + "]"); if( finder.length == 1){elem = finder[0];}; if (!elem){return}; elem.href = newurl; } //Sample Usage switchCSSByName( 'demo1.css','css/demo2.css' );
Since your usage fits one of the supplied patterns, you should be able to pop in the above code and use this ...
var origStyle = true; Ext.get('swapper').on('click', function(){ if (origStyle){ switchCSS('ss', '/lib/css/sec.css'); } else { switchCSS('ss', '/lib/css/light.css'); } origStyle = !origStyle; })

So, I bought a NAS, which I configured successfully in
/etc/fstab, on mu Kubuntu 10.10 Thinkpad x40. It works just fine when I am at home. A few days I went out with my laptop and the problem is, that when not at home, both suspend and hibernate functions seem forever to work.
I commented out the entry on
fstab and the laptop started to work as expected.
I played with
autofs, but it seems just dies at one moment and I cannot access anything. It works for some time, and then just goes off.
Is there any consistent way, to make my laptop access the drive when at home and work OK when away?
Probably a script that runs at startup, checks if the mount is there and mounts it if available... or a script that umount the drive at suspend|hibernate and loads it back at startup.
Any useful ideas?

Is it possible to create a new note soley by logging into iCloud.com? Also, though I can see my existing notes synced up there, I cannot edit them. Is this the default behaviour or a bug?
icloud.com does not have a notes feature at this time. It is rumored that around the time that iOS 6 is released, icloud.com will be updated to include notes and reminders. Previews of these features might be available to you already, if you are an Apple registered developer and have updated your iOS device to an iOS 6 beta, by visiting beta.icloud.com
As of September 13, 2012, iCloud.com has Notes and Reminders apps added, so you can directly access the iCloud-synced notes and reminders data on the web.
It's worth noting that you're required to have an iCloud email address for the notes syncing. If your notes are set to sync with another address (such as Gmail), the web app can't access them. I believe this is because the Notes syncing still uses IMAP behind the scenes (each note is just a mail message in an IMAP folder).

Let $M$ be a meet-semilattice with a least element $0$. Suppose there is an order-reversing involution $a \mapsto -a$ on $M$ such that for all $a, b \in M$, $a \wedge b = 0$ if and only if $b \le -a$. Then $M$ is a Boolean algebra.
Is there a paper/book I can cite for this claim? The proof I have is just ploughing through with symbolic manipulation to show it is a distributive complemented lattice, but it's probably not something people want to read in a group theory paper. Alternatively, does anyone know a more conceptual or slick proof?

UNCTAD has developed a comprehensive Investment Policy Framework for Sustainable Development (IPFSD) to assist governments in mobilizing investment and ensuring its positive contribution to sustainable development. IPFSD consists of (1) a set of Core Principles for Investment Policymaking, (2) guidelines for national investment policies, and (3) options for designing international investment agreements (IIAs), accompanied by annotations to the IPFSD, which are also published in this year's World Investment Report 2012. IPFSD is a living document powered by an online platform (http://investmentpolicyhub.org), where investment stakeholders can comment on the different areas covered by the IPFSD, share experiences, raise questions and make suggestions.The introduction of the UNCTAD Framework by Elisabeth Tuerk, Officer in Charge of UNCTAD's Section on IIAs, will offer an opportunity for New York-based IIA stakeholders to familiarize themselves with IPFSD and to bring their practitioner, academic or civil society perspective to today's debate about shaping a new generation of investment policies.

I use foursquare because it contains a lot of POIs. Which database do you use when you need a point of interest in North America?
There appear to be 7 major "POI" databases which have a large quantity of API-accessible POI data in the US. (Cribbing much of this from http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-each-Places-API)
Depending on what you are looking for, these each offer different benefits.
TheWebMiner GEO
TheWebMiner GEO is a collection of POI databases. Geographical data can be downloaded on a specific radius form a point e.g. if you want data for entire United States you can select Colorado as point and 2500 miles as radius and you can get all data for United States.
Yelp, CitySearch
These two are similar sites: centered primarily around reviews, rather than acting as POI databases. As a result, their data is slanted more towards places that users would write reviews for -- you won't find "Middle East Upstairs Men's Room" in these databases. However, they tend to have more rich information -- in addition to categorization, they also have, of course, the reviews themselves, and additional information like ratings, etc. For many purposes, these review sites are superior in the places where they have content.
The Facebook places API offers a way to integrate places which is more social in nature. Places which exist in Facebook places will tend to have things like wall posts, pictures, etc. more often, and for places which do business on Facebook, you can find more content. However, the overall quality of these places is lower; in my limited sampling, geographic accuracy tends to be lower than Foursquare, and the coverage is lower, without the benefit of curated reviews that Yelp and CitySearch offer.
FourSquare is the most comprehensive list of places of any of these APIs, period. It has the most comprehensive list of places -- in part because it has a more broad definition of what a 'place' is. (See above.) For venue search, it has a relatively open API, and check-ins, tips, and so on provide a reasonable set of metadata -- but more limited than the more 'refined' place sources above.
However, because much of this data is user entered, a lot of this data is crap: duplicates are a fact of life, and you will have to cope with misentered data.
Google's places API provides you a limited set of information from Google's place pages. The information provided is reasonable, but it is more difficult to get information like links to places out of this API. It is a relatively comprehensive selection, but its search is not particularly broad, and it does not offer the information like checkins and so on that Foursquare offers. Overall, this API is reasonable, but with less coverage than Foursquare and (via the API) less depth than others, it doesn't offer a lot more than Foursquare or the others in either of the directions.
SimpleGeo, Factual
I haven't looked at these. However, they are 'open' data, unlike all the others, which is probably a benefit for some use cases.
Overall, which is 'best' probably depends entirely on what you're doing; they all offer different sets of points, different depth, etc. Foursquare is probably a winner on breadth; Yelp (in areas it covers) is a bigger winner on depth; Google fits inbetween them in some ways.
I'll note that this is all anecdotal; Google claims 50 million places, while Foursquare claims more in the vein of 15 million, so there may be a significant difference in the actual number of places Google has... however, at least in the mostly Urban areas I've been looking at, it seems that Foursquare is more comprehensive. (Since Foursquare data is largely user-submitted, it makes sense that urban areas will be better covered, so my observations may not hold for any given use case.)
Check out https://simplegeo.com/products/places/ . It is new on the block but has been receiving some good press.

No, in these cases you are welcome to choose the "discard 3 cards" option and merrily not do anything.
These effects of Crises are not really COSTS per se - in most games costs are non-optional, so your reasoning about being forced to do the other choice makes some sense if you think of these as costs.
But they really aren't costs, they're just the effects of that Crisis, and you're welcome to choose the one that impacts you the least, and execute as much of it as you're able to.
In the rules of the game they have a clarification which specifies this.
The reason here is that this happens. Without an option, if you were forced to discard 3 cards and only had 2 it is obvious what would occur. The choice makes this issue confusing, which is why the rules have a specific clarification.
This is one of those rare "good" things for the humans.
