The Speed Art Museum's $50 million expansion is bringing an exciting and remarkable transformation to the 86-year-old building situated on the University of Louisville campus. But, that's not the only change the beloved local treasure is about to undergo.
For the first time in 40 years, The Speed's annual spring gala will be held in an all new location, due to the three-year construction and renovation of the museum, marking the first Speed Ball held away from home.
Presented by Brown-Forman and Heaven Hill Distilleries, with support from The Glenview Trust Company, Dinsmore and the Sterling G. Thompson Company, The Speed Ball will take place Saturday, March 2, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. beneath the elegant Art Deco-style architecture of The Gillespie, 421 W. Market St. "(The Speed was) trying to find a place that would have the feel and the vibe that has become the Speed," said Lisa Resnik, chief operating officer and co-interim director of The Speed Art Museum. "We wanted (a venue) that was a little more unique, and when we went to look at The Gillespie we felt like that provided (what we were looking for)."
The 40th anniversary of the black tie-white tie event will be presented under the creative direction of Bittners President Douglas Riddle and chaired by Jonathan and Tracy Blue. Last year's Speed Ball performer, Indigo, a Ken Arlen Orchestra, will return to dazzle attendees with eclectic, energetic dance music, following a culinary feast inspired by Corbett's: An American Place.
"Jonathan and I are especially honored to chair the 40th annual Speed Ball, which is occurring in the midst of the museum's incredible – and incredibly important – expansion project," said Tracy Blue, publisher of The Voice-Tribune. "The ball is The Speed Art Museum's biggest fundraiser for its operating costs, which includes programming and education. As art lovers and collectors, Jonathan and I felt strongly about ensuring The Speed Ball continue despite having to find a new location. The Gillespie will serve as a gorgeous temporary home for The Speed Ball. My husband and I look forward to greeting guests and enjoying what will be an exquisite, enjoyable evening."
In addition to sharing in a unique experience with the new Speed Ball locale, the spring soiree will recognize each of the past chairs in its 40-year-history who have helped develop and maintain one of the premier galas in Louisville. The event will also highlight The Speed's various educational and community outreach programs, as well as Speed About Town, an initiative created to remind the public The Speed is still fully in operation even though its facility is closed during the three-year construction period.
The Speed's $50 million expansion project is currently in phase two of the building process, which includes construction of the new 60,000-square-foot North Building that will double the overall square footage and nearly triple the gallery space of the existing wing. The expansion also will create a state-of-the-art area for larger special exhibitions, new contemporary art galleries, a family education welcome center, indoor/outdoor café, museum shop and a multifunctional pavilion for performances, lectures and entertaining.
"It's all transparent, it's all glass-based," Speed Museum Director of Operations and Expansion Greg Gardiner said of the design. "It's storefront, effectively. Our gift shop's out there, our lobby's out there. Our old building is beautiful, but as far as events, some work better than others. So, (the new building) is really designed to be the most flexible and the best that anybody could come up with."
Another addition to the museum will be the new Elizabeth P. and Frederick K. Cressman Art Park and public piazza built for the display of sculpture to engage University of Louisville students, faculty and museum visitors. "The old museum was very inward-focused and so now this new entry, the gardens we're creating and constructing, opens the museum up to the community," said Eric Doninger, chair of The Speed Art Museum Building Committee. "The (Speed) Ball (is) going out and being part of the community, the art's going on the road (through traveling exhibits) to be a part of the community, so is the building. … And to me that's what's probably the most exciting part of this."
While the expansion project will require significant fundraising, with the entire master plan estimated to cost about $79 million, The Speed Ball proceeds will support the facility's education programs, exhibitions and family activities. "(Speed Ball proceeds) will not go to the expansion," Resnik confirmed. "The campaign that we have for the expansion is for private and corporate foundation gifts. But what we're doing here for the ball, that is our largest fundraiser for the operating budget, so it goes to a variety of programs, for education, public programming, so that we can keep everything going out in the community."
The Speed Art Museum is Kentucky's largest art museum with a collection spanning 6,000 years of human creativity. The independent museum serves more than 30,000 school children annually through community outreach programs, workshops, tours, summer camps and the award-winning Art Sparks interactive gallery.
"I just think that the Speed is Kentucky's museum, it's the city of Louisville's museum and you need to be supportive," Resnik encouraged. "And, just because our doors are closed doesn't mean that we don't want to be out in the public. … (The Speed Ball) is vital to keep the program going. So we need people to come out and support and attend the ball, and it's a fun time and we will continue to have a fun time even though we're not on the premises here."
The 2013 Speed Art Museum Ball
For the first time in its 40-year-history, The Speed Art Museum's annual Speed Ball will take place in an all new location, The Gillespie, 421 W. Market St., while the museum undergoes construction as part of its $50 million expansion project. President of Bittners Douglas Riddle will provide the creative direction for the event, which is co-chaired by Jonathan and Tracy Blue.
Benefactor tickets for the 2013 Speed Ball are $450 per person; Corporate Benefactor tickets are also available. The Benefactor evening will begin at 6 p.m. and includes cocktails, dinner, dancing and dessert. Friends of the Speed tickets are $150. The Friends of the Speed portion of the event will begin at 9 p.m. and includes cocktails, dancing and dessert.

Ten years of Lufthansa Star Chefs
Lufthansa is celebrating a culinary anniversary this autumn: since the year 2000 the airline has been offering high-quality, inspirational menus to its First and Business Class passengers on long-haul flights from Germany as part of its 'Star Chefs' gourmet programme. New menus are created every two months by different top international chefs. Each menu bears the signature of the master chef so passengers can become familiar with their individual cooking style.
Our passengers are the Star Chefs. Attractive innovations for the future
In September and October 2010 our passengers can enjoy a menu which has been chosen in advance online by frequent flyers.
As from November the Star Chef creating the monthly in-flight menus will move firmly to centre stage. Beginning with his culinary influences, Lufthansa wants to give its passengers a deeper insight in future into the philosophy of the respective Star Chef. Business Class passengers will be pleasantly surprised by a totally new presentation of in-flight food: for example, they will be offered an unusual salt to take home if the Star Chef creating the menus is known for creating distinctive flavours with different types of salt.
Furthermore, Lufthansa will be introducing 'Lufthansa Classics' to both premium classes. Besides the Star Chef menu, in future classic dishes such as 'Wiener Schnitzel' (breaded escalope of veal) or 'Königsberger Klopse' (meatballs with anchovies) will also be served, with a different choice every month.

How do you set up routing rules correctly with Nginx to support WP Super Cache for a WordPress (3.x) site?
Hi @jschoolcraft:
Does this articles address your question?
If not, maybe there would be something in these?
Dan Collis-Puro has a great article on how Harvard Law used Nginx as a front-end proxy for WordPress, and has released a WordPress plugin which outputs some HTTP headers to interface with Nginx, also available in the article. The readme has information on how to get things set up.
Here's the article:
Note that at Harvard Law, they've completely abandoned all WP-side caching in favor of Nginx. The additional complexity in the WP side, they found, was completely unnecessary after getting nginx set up.

There is a shop in the starting area on the island of Koholint, and if you are fast enough to dance around the shopkeeper, you can steal from him. Once you steal from him, though, your title in the game changes to "THIEF".
Here is a video of what I am talking about.
Is there any way to change your title back to your name without reverting to a different past save or starting over?

I have stored a Facebook user ID and a Facebook friend ID. How can I publish to the user's wall without logging into Facebook?
I have used the old Facebook API that has UID and target_id fields like this:
$param = array(
'method' => 'stream.publish',
'callback' => '',
'message' => $row[message],
'attachment' => json_encode($attachment),
'target_id' => $row[friends_id],
'uid' => $row[sender_id],
'privacy' => ''
$result = $facebook->api($param);
Is this possible in new facebook PHP API?
$attachment = array('message' => $wall);
$facebook->api("/$target/feed/",'post', $attachment);
The application has wall posting permissions.

Has any work been done on Singmaster's conjecture since Singmaster's work?
The conjecture says there is a finite upper bound on how many times a number other than 1 can occur as a binomial coefficient.
Wikipedia's article on it, written mostly by me, says that
- It is known that infinitely many numbers appear exactly 3 times.
- It is unknown whether any number appears an odd number of times where the odd number is bigger than 3.
- It is known that infinitely many numbers appear 2 times, 4 times, and 6 times.
- One number is known to appear 8 times. No one knows whether there are any others nor whether any number appears more than 8 times.
- Singmaster reported that Paul Erdős told him the conjecture is probably true but would probably be very hard to prove.

Textbook requests can be submitted online. Simply login or create an account. You can also use our old form as well if you do not wish to create an account here. Also feel free to e-mail your requests to the Textbook Information Editor, Isaac Pomper at email@example.com
The bookstore asks for textbook requests by the given dates for three reasons. First, the bookstore staff verifies that all information on each request is correct. Any problems or irregularities are discussed with the instructor or department liaison. Second, the Bookstore attempts to locate as many used books as possible. Early requests provide the Bookstore a better chance in locating used copies from national used book wholesalers. Finally, timely requests can increase the amount paid to students during the end of term buyback period. The buyback value is determined by future demand.
The recently revised Higher Education Opportunity Act has several provisions that affect college Bookstore operations. One of these provisions states that Bookstores must provide all textbook information on their website so that students will know the course requirements at the time they register for classes. In order to comply, the NC State Bookstore must gather all course materials information as soon as it is available from instructors.
The Umstead Act states that college stores in North Carolina can only cater to the University population including students, faculty, and alumni. For this reason, our store must recognize users by their nine digit University ID number. For faculty who do not wish to create an account, the Bookstore provides another textbook adoption page here.
The Bookstore recognizes that not all requests can meet the adoption deadlines. New classes, sections, and instructor changes often come after the adoption deadlines. These requests should be made as soon as the information is available.
An easy way for students to save 25% on textbooks is to have a
plentiful supply of used books availavble. Receiving textbook requests
early allows the Bookstore to offer students used books obtained through
our buyback program or through a textbook wholesaler. Late requests
often do not allow us to pursue the option of used books.
If a texbook has been requested with a particular ISBN because it offers a "free" web access code or a "free" study aid, we may not be able to buy used copies from either the students or wholesalers. If these optional materials are not necessary for course success, please include that infomration when ordering the book. Always keep in mind that the bookstore orders ONLY what you have requested. WE will not order a less expensive version of the book unless given the permission to do so. Package deals which include "free" study guides often result in no used copies of the book available to be sold in the future and the student being prevented from selling the item back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. Items that require a single user license agreement are often designed to reduce the availability of used stock.

Please see the National Association of College Stores website here for a PDF file of how each dollar from a new textbook sale is calculated.
NC State Bookstores has partnered with several E-Book providers. Please see our E-Book page for a complete listing as well as information and links to each provider.
You can fill out a desk copy procurement form here. This form should be sent directly to the appropriate publisher. To see a list of publishers and their websites click here.
The University policy regarding copyright can be found here.
The bookstore bases order quantities on several factors. First, students shop at a variety of bookstores. NC State University currently has a total of four brick and mortar bookstores serving the campus. In addition to these stores, some students will purchase their materials from online vendors. Course history, past sales data, and current enrollment figures help the store ensure that sufficient copies are ordered. The Bookstore strives to maintain stock of every text offered on campus. However, if we sell out, we will special order a copy for any student who needs to purchase a book.
Most publishers and distributors require bookstores to pay for course materials within 30 days of receipt. The bookstore remains self-sustaining by being fiscally responsible to the University. Unsold materials need to still be paid for within the time frame allotted, unless they are returned to the respective publisher or distributor. Publisher returns generally begin about one month after the start of classes. The Bookstore will retain titles that have been requested for a future semester.
NCSU Bookstores is University-owned and totally self-supporting. It receives no tax money or subsidies. Profits are paid annually to the NCSU Academic Scholarship Fund.

Now that the Transpark project is underway, state and local officials are working hard to recruit the first business to the site.
One of the prospects is Magna International, Inc. Magna is the world's seventh-largest auto parts maker and is headquartered in Canada. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority issued a statement Thursday saying Magna has filed an application for the Transpark and is currently undergoing negotiations.
If recruited to the Transpark, Magna's proposed facility would encompass 860,000 square feet and create at least 300 new jobs paying $12-$18 per hour.
Magna currently employs 71,000 people at 253 sites worldwide. Their parts are used by a variety of automakers, including BMW, Ford, and Saab.

Revered founding fathers engaged in mud-slinging
No doubt the ads are quite nasty, and usually devoid of any of those bothersome things known as facts. But it turns out the negative political campaigning we see today — whether Romney vs. Obama on the national level, or McMahon vs. Murphy here in the Nutmeg State — is rather tame compared to the political campaigning that took place over 200 years ago.
When revered Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams ran against each other for president in the year 1800, the mud-slinging was unbelievable.. (And by "revered" Founding Fathers, I don't mean the particular Founding Father named Paul Revere, but the other definition of the word revered: either your face is now featured on U.S. currency or HBO did a really cool mini-series about your life.)
In 1800, John Adams was the president running for re-election. His opponent was Thomas Jefferson. The two men actually had been friends back in the heady days of 1776, when they were working hard to be revered. At first they planned to release a new album and do some videos for MTV, but then they decided it would be easier to found a new nation instead. So Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, while Adams tirelessly badgered and cajoled other members of the Continental Congress to go along with the idea. "Our future reveredness depends on this!" He repeatedly pleaded.
The presidential campaign of 1800 was slightly different than the campaigns of today. For one thing, there weren't nearly as many cable TV networks back then. Also, Twitter was in its infancy, so when campaign spokespersons or Hollywood celebrities scratched out 160-character comments with a quill pen, the whole world did not have a chance to read them within five seconds. It took a bit longer, typically about five years. By then Jefferson, the winner in 1800 and again in 1804, was already serving his second term. (Some people today think having a five-year delay on the posting of all Tweets is not such a bad idea. Especially those people who are in the habit of posting impulsive, bone-headed comments.)
Back in 1800 the supporters of Adams publically claimed that if Jefferson became president, "We would see our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitution." They also said if Jefferson was elected, it would create a nation where "murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest will be openly taught and practiced."
Wow, if that was even remotely true, ol' T.J. must've received total support from the Hollywood crowd.
During the campaign, Jefferson secretly hired a sleazy political operative named James Callender, who was kind of the James Carville or Karl Rove of his day. Callender's vicious writings were published far and wide. He wrote that Adams was a "rageful, lying warmongering fellow," a "gross hypocrite" who "behaved neither like a man nor like a woman but instead possessed a hideous hermaphroditical character." (I think hermaphrodite means either someone was born with both male and female sexual organs, or who was born in Kenya and has a fake birth certificate.)
As you can see, nasty election name-calling is not a new phenomenon. Our revered Founding Fathers did it with gusto. And it worked, since according to political experts (meaning I just made this up), it was the hermaphrodite accusation that ultimately put Jefferson in the White House. Our current crop of candidates, who also are desperately seeking revered status, depend on nasty name-calling. Personally, I can't wait until this entire campaign season is in my revered view mirror.

text: I am REALLY EXCITED about the tutorial I'm about to submit! It's the evil monkey that live's in Chris's closet!! Okay, first, let me tell you about him. Whenever Peter, or someone else asks him to go somewhere, Chis says he can't because he'll upset the evil monkey that lives in his closet. Then they would laugh histerically at Chris's 'imagination'. And then, Chris would look toward his room and the evil monkey would point at him and Chris would cringe. It's so funny. Today, you'll be drawing him in that exact pose. I'm very excited, and I hope you are, too. So whip out a piece of paper and a pencil, and lets get drawing!

I have a simple but important question about naming my first child.
I named her, as Jae-in Kim. (pronunciation is , of course, same as Jane in English name) but it is so common that hundreds, maybe thousands of people have the name Jae-in here in Korea, so, I want spell her name Jae-inn Kim (double 'n' in inn) for the uniqueness. but as you know, the word "inn" has meaning a kind of accommodation.
From a point of view in US/English cultures, is it ridiculous/funny that a name includes Inn? Or is it okay?
Since English isn't my native language, it's hard for me to figure out its nuance.

I'm preparing my kitchen floor for ceramic tile. Currently it's a sheet of vinyl(linoleum?). The plan was to sand off any gloss and tile over it. I was going around the edges picking off any loose areas and I noticed the top layer of the floor is peeling off and leaving behind a paper like layer which looks to be glued to the original vinyl floor. So it seems the vinyl layer is splitting in half. What would be the better surface to tile on? The paper like surface or the sanded vinyl? Please don't recommend pulling it completely off as that is out of time and budget.
Unfortunately, you NEED to remove or cover the old vinyl. If you attempt to tile over an unsecure base, you are wasting yout time and money because the tile will not stay down. In your case, if you go over the splitting vinyl, the vinyl will continue to separate and up will come the tiles. If you go over the paper layer, the mortar/quickset will not stick properly. If you don't want to strip everything, which is a very thankless job, and your subfloor may not be the greatest either, then screw down a layer of Hardi-backer. Hardy-backer or concrete board is the perfect base for your new tile. Good Luck
Look - I understand you need to do this quick and you know its wrong to put on vinyl. You came and asked a specific question and I though about it (out of the box) I got your answer. This is not the correct way as pointed out by your self and everybody else.. but you already knew that.
You might even get away with this for long term solution. You selling quick? moving out form rented place? Doesn't matter. You asked how to lay tiles on vinyl. I will tell you how!
If you going to be doing it the wrong way, you might as well do it a little bit right to make it last longer!
What is critical here the the mesh strip or wire does not pull upwards too easily. You will then lay mortar as usual and on top of this wire taking care that the mortar wraps around, sits inside the mesh nicely.
The mortar will still NOT stick to the vinyl but what you have created is a superficial surface that reinforces the mortar and will help the tiles disperse weight and stress over larger areas with out cracking. Because the mortar hardens it will keep the mesh from moving sideways that is why it must be fastened in a uniform way so it does not lift up. That is the key here.
NO This is not the the correct way to do it - you know that - If you finish it off nicely and let it set properly it should be OK.
Liberty is painfull....

College students have a tough life. Between fitting in ridiculous class assignments and schedules, you also need to hunt down deals on food and drink. We've put together our list of the best iPhone apps, but students need a different mobile toolkit to get things done. Here's what you should load up on your iPhone before you're handed that first syllabus.
In most cases you're probably going to want to take notes on paper or on your computer, but you're bound to forget them at some point. For those days, Simplenote is a great utility to have on your phone. Plus, it syncs directly with the cloud and desktop apps, so you'll always have your class notes with you no matter where you are.
Evernote is an excellent resource for students to capture everything they have going on in class. If you need a little inspiration for how to use Evernote, Shep McAllister's guest post on the Evernote blog outlines a lot of ways you can use Evernote in school, including taking snapshots of notes, blackboards, organizing research, and more. If you're not a fan of Evernote, be sure to check out Springpad for a similar, but more streamlined experience.
We mention Dropbox in our annual Lifehacker Packs, but it's worth noting again for students. Not only is Dropbox a handy place to store all your files, it can also be a lifesaver when you realize you forgot to bring in an assignment. Simply pop into Dropbox, and email the link directly to your professor from any computer.
The Homework App
Keeping track of homework, projects, and your daily life is hard when you're a student. The Homework App makes that a bit easier. You can create tasks for projects that have multiple steps, add your class schedule, color code you subjects, add instructors details, and more. That's all displayed on both a dashboard and a calendar, so it's easy to quickly figure out what you should be doing at any given moment.
Audio Memos
Let's face it, sometimes you're not going to pay attention in class. In fact, you'll probably fall asleep at least once. For those days an audio recorder can be a lifesaver. On iPhone we like Audio Memos - The Voice Recorder. It's simple, supports iCloud, tagging, Dropbox, and even has mid-recording bookmarks.
Chrome/Dolphin Browser
Chrome is a fantastic browser for students because it syncs all your settings, history, and bookmarks across platforms. That means if you forget your computer one day and need to do some research on your phone, you'll be able to start right where you left off. Dolphin's also a great browser that has a ton of extra features that make reading on your device a little nicer.
Whether you just miss your parents, or you want a cheap and free way to talk to friends at other schools, Skype is one of the easiest video chat clients to use. It's also a way to phone-ify your computer so you don't have to wory about an annoying cell phone bill.
The Extended Pack
Free Graphing Calculator
Unless you're actually getting your major in mathematics, you probably don't need an expensive graphing calculator. To fill in for Math 101, this free iPhone app should do everything you need.
Keeping track of your limited finances in college is tough, but Mint makes the whole process easier. It also helps you create and stick with a budget. We know it's probably not the most exciting thing on this list, but it's good to know just how little is in your account at every moment.
Flashcards: Flashcards*
Love them or hate them, flashcards are a great way to memorize information. Flashcards* is an app that not only allows you to make your own, but you can also search through thousands that have already been created for classes, or collaboratively make a set of flashcards with your fellow students. If you're lucky enough to be in a class that already has cards made, Flashcards* will make your life a lot easier.
Let's face it: you're in college, you're short on cash, and you're hungry. Yelp is one of the best ways to quickly search your surroundings and find a cheap place to eat or a quiet place to grab a drink.
Happy Hour Finder
Going out for cheap drinks and cheap food during happy hour is a college tradition. If you need some help finding new places to go, Happy Hour Finder will do the trick well enough. It doesn't have the most up-to-date listings, but it is nationwide and seems to do a pretty good job of at least nailing the right times. If you go to college in a large enough city, it's also worth looking to see if you can find an app dedicated to your city.
If you're looking for more great apps for your iPhone beyond what's in our student pack, head to the Lifehacker Pack for iPhone.

Ironing Out the Details of the Earth's Core
The highest-pressure vibrational spectrum of iron has been obtained by researchers working at the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science's Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, providing important new clues to the behavior of iron in the Earth's core.
"Pinpointing the properties of iron is the gold standard—or I guess 'iron standard'—for how the core behaves," said Jennifer Jackson, assistant professor of mineral physics at Caltech and coauthor of the study, which appears in the December 20 issue of Geophysical Research Letters. "That is where most discussions about the deep interior of the Earth begin. The temperature distribution, the formation of the planet—it all goes back to the core."
To learn more about how iron behaves under the extreme conditions that exist in the Earth's core, the team used diamond anvil cells (DACs) to compress tiny samples of the element. DACs use two small diamonds to squeeze the iron, reproducing the types of pressures that exist at the Earth's core. These particular samples were pressurized to 171 Gigapascals (GPa), which is 1.7-million times the pressure we feel on the surface of the Earth.
To complete the experiments, the team took the DACs to the X-ray Science Division 3-ID x-ray beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, where they used powerful, high-brightness x-rays to measure the vibrational density-of-states of compressed iron. This information allowed the researchers to determine how quickly sound waves move through iron and compare the results to seismic observations of the core.
"The vibrational properties that we were able to measure at extraordinarily high pressures are unprecedented," said Jackson. "These pressures exist in the Earth's outer core, and are very difficult to reproduce experimentally."
Caitlin Murphy, a graduate student in Jackson's group and first author of the paper, says the group was happy to find that their data set on the vibrational properties of iron evolved smoothly over a very wide pressure range, suggesting that their pressure-dependent analysis was robust, and that iron did not encounter any phase changes over this pressure range. To help achieve these successful measurements at high pressures, the group used some innovative techniques to keep the iron from thinning out in the DACs, such as preparing an insert to stabilize the sample chamber during compression. Additionally, they measured the volume of the compressed iron sample in situ and hydrostatically loaded the iron sample with neon into the sample chamber.
"These techniques allowed us to get the very high statistical quality we wanted in a reasonable amount of time, thus allowing us to obtain accurate vibrational properties of compressed iron, such as its Grüneisen parameter," said Jackson. "The Grüneisen parameter of a material describes how its total energy changes with compression and informs us on how iron may behave in the earth's core. It is an extremely difficult quantity to measure accurately."
The team was also able to get a closer estimate of the melting point of iron from their experiments—which they report to be around 5800K at the boundary between the Earth's solid inner core and liquid outer core. This information, combined with the other vibrational properties they found, gives the group important clues for estimating the amount of light elements, or impurities, in the core. By comparing the density of iron at the relevant pressure and temperature conditions with seismic observations of the core's density, they found that iron is 5.5% more dense than the solid inner core at this boundary.
"With our new data on iron, we can discuss several aspects of the Earth's core with more certainty and narrow down the amount of light elements that may be needed to help power the geodynamo—the process responsible for maintaining the Earth's magnetic field, which originates in the core," said Jackson.
According to Murphy, the next step is to perform similar experiments alloying iron with nickel and various light elements to determine how the density and, in particular, the vibrational properties of pure iron are affected. In turn, they will be able to evaluate the amount of light elements that produce a closer match to seismic observations of the core.
"There are a few candidate light elements for the core that everyone is always talking about—sulfur, silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, for instance," said Murphy. "Silicon and oxygen are a few of the more popular, but they have not been studied in this detail yet. So that's where we will begin to expand our study."

6 Technologies Conspicuously Absent from Sci-Fi Movies
#3. Minority Report -- Wireless Internet
Minority Report is set in a future in which cops have figured out a way to stop crimes before they even happen, thus making their jobs approximately 8,000 percent easier. But that's not all: It appears that by the year 2054, our ability to shrink hardware and data has gotten so advanced that you can't even see it. Take a look at the part when Tom Cruise and his murder-predicting cop buddies are transferring data from one computer to another:
Check that shit out! That's one of their portable storage devices and it's completely clear, like fucking air -- that's how advanced we've become!
So What's Missing?
Wait a minute, so they're using a portable device to transfer information to another computer that's right there? Even in the year 2002, when this movie came out, we already had the ability to do the exact same thing considerably faster thanks to a little thing called Wi-Fi. You'd think that by 2054 portable devices, even cool ones that look like air, wouldn't even be necessary -- you know what else looks like air? Air.
Above: The entire Led Zeppelin discography, plus evidence of that covered-up murder.
Throughout this entire film, there seems to be a complete lack of anything resembling Wi-Fi or networking abilities. If the cops want a file that's on another computer, they have to physically go and get it. What is this, Dragnet? When Tom Cruise needs certain records about a specific prediction, he literally has to walk down to the prison and order the warden to show him the video, then walk once more to another kiosk in order to get more information on that specific prisoner.
If we took that exact same situation and put in the present, it would probably look like this:
He could do the same job with five Cracked tabs open in the background.
But this isn't just an office. This is a police force that sometimes has only minutes to pre-solve these pre-crimes -- and yet they waste valuable seconds passing huge transparent flash drives from one computer to another before the information can be analyzed. Why not just connect the computers to the same network or, you know, grab a 5-foot-long Ethernet cable from whatever has replaced RadioShack in the future? Even that would be faster than the way they're doing it.
So it's an alternate future where they can predict murders using orphans and smartphones haven't been invented yet.
How It Would Have Changed Things:
Most of the pre-crimes we see in the film are stopped literally a few seconds before they were supposed to happen -- when the police arrive in time to stop them. At the end of the film, the cops arrive instants after the bad guy has committed suicide, which in turn results in the whole pre-crime division getting shut down. In this case, Wi-Fi would have actually changed the entire ending of the movie.
"All right, let's notify his family. Anybody got a telegram?"
#2. Blade Runner, A.I. and I, Robot -- GPS Tracking
We've seen the same basic premise in movies like Blade Runner, A.I. and even I, Robot -- a somehow humanlike machine decides to escape and the humans must find it fast, for whatever reason. In I, Robot, the whole first part of the movie is about Will Smith chasing an android who supposedly committed a murder. At one point he has to find the alleged robo-murderer in a warehouse filled with a thousand other identical robots.
"I know it's un-PC, but they all look exactly the same to me."
In Blade Runner and A.I., finding the missing androids is literally the whole plot of the film. In Blade Runner, Harrison Ford has to find the replicants because they are dangerous lunatics, and in A.I., the robot kid on the run is actually an invaluable prototype. In both cases, the quest to find the androids is long and hard, giving the filmmakers plenty of time to ponder philosophical questions like, "At what point does artificial intelligence become real intelligence?" and "Is it legal for Jude Law's pants to be so tight near a small child?"
What is NC-17 there to warn us about if not this?
So What's Missing?
Every time a robot runs away in these movies, the companies that own them are caught completely off guard by it, as if they weren't the ones who put legs into the damn things. What they did not build into them, for inexplicable reasons, is a simple GPS tracker.
Think about it. We can track anything from cellphones to pets using GPS technology -- and yet in A.I., once the robot kid and his gigolo buddy go into the woods, the humans admit they have no clue where they are. We're talking about a film made in 2001, long after the invention of GPS, but for some reason no one in this future has heard of it. The worst part is that the woods are literally filled with missing runaway robots, so it's not like this is the first time it has happened.
"A dark forest filled with children and perverts? Why would we even look there?"
In I, Robot, the killer android Will Smith has to find is part of a batch of brand-new service robots made with cutting-edge technology -- which, again, doesn't seem to include any method for finding them if they go missing. The robot simply runs away from the murder scene and it's like he vanished from existence. If it wasn't for the fact that it was damaged and needed a place to repair itself, it could have simply kept running in a straight line until Will Smith died of old age.
"Come on now, does anyone here have a Navigation app?"
Blade Runner sort of gets a pass on this stuff because GPS technology wasn't as widespread when the film came out in 1982 -- but even back then there were other methods to track really important things. The company that owned the replicants knew they were dangerous and restricted their usage to off-planet colonies ... but never thought to keep track of these highly advanced robots by any means other than "sending some dude to chase them."
And occasionally sexing them up.
How It Would Have Changed Things:
In I, Robot, we would have been spared more than just the chase sequence at the beginning. If Will Smith had simply tried to GPS the robot ... he would have found out that it was specifically built to be undetectable by the main computer (and presumably other forms of tracking) as part of the dead guy's plan to expose the robo-conspiracy. In the movie, it takes him like an extra hour of screen time to make that same discovery.
In A.I., the whole second act onward is about the kid being brought in to be dismantled, running away, meeting the Jude Law character and ... something about ... aliens. All that crap? Averted when the company locates the boy five minutes after it went missing and reuses the parts to build a Danish woman or something. As for Blade Runner, there would be no movie. It would be two hours of Harrison Ford eating Chinese food and contemplating making love to his vacuum cleaner, probably.
"It feels great, but then there'll be lint dick to deal with."
#1. X-Men -- Cellular Phones
According to the first film (released in 2000), the nonprequel X-Men movies take place in the "not too distant future," a time when people who shoot lasers out of their eyeballs don't seem quite as shocking to the world as they would now. While regular humans continue using the same boring technology we have now, we see mutants flying around in futuristic jets, using holographic "danger rooms" to practice their magical powers and driving badass super cars.
Via Everett Collection
They've also developed the technology to make 80-year-old Holocaust survivors look not a day over 60.
So these "people" can not only control our minds and metal-based patio furniture, but they also get all the good tech? Assholes!
So What's Missing?
Cellphones, or any other form of long distance communication invented after the '60s, for that matter. Seriously -- when you think about it, the plots of the X-Men films are as reliant on the idea that no one is in possession of a mobile phone as an episode of Seinfeld.
Cellphone: Bane of the lazy screenwriter's existence.
It's not like they don't exist in this universe: In the first film, we see Senator Kelly chatting it up on a cellphone before he gets kidnapped, so it would be safe to assume that the X-Men would have access to at least the same type of technology, right? No, apparently they don't. For half of X2, the characters remain separated because, despite their fantastic powers and technology, they simply can't get through to each other.
"We can harness your eye lasers into a military-grade weapon, but good luck getting
cell reception anywhere in the continental U.S."
Storm is seen tapping into the communications on that superjet we mentioned earlier -- she appears to be switching channels and states: "Nobody is responding ... I can't get a signal." By the way, this is the equipment she's using:
A freakin' radio. That's literally the best they ever do with long distance communication in the whole series. The gaping cellphone shaped hole in the X-Men's universe would be easy enough to ignore if it weren't for this:
"Can you hear me now? No? Then why don't we go pick up some goddamn iPhones."
That is the cellphone-looking device Wolverine uses to try to communicate with the rest of the team after they're separated in X2. But rather than functioning like an actual cellphone, it doesn't seem to have any buttons, and when he tries to use it, all he gets is static. When Wolverine gets into closer proximity to Storm and the others, his "phone" begins to ring and he is able to communicate with the radio frequency the jet is using ... and only the jet. At this point it becomes clear that the device Wolverine had been carrying the whole film -- the one that the filmmakers seem to have designed to look like a cell phone -- was actually a fancy-looking walkie-talkie.
Maybe there's some deleted scene where the X-Men explain that they've intentionally decided to steer clear of cellphones because they're traceable. Except the FCC and FAA are more than capable of tracing and tapping radio waves as well, which they totally do in X2. Two jets meet up with the X-Men jet and are instantly listening in and broadcasting into their channel before shooting them down.
"You guys realize this is the 21st century, right? My kid could hear you on his walkie-talkie."
So to recap, the filmmakers actively remind us of the existence of cellphone technology while refusing to give our heroes access to it. This leaves, "the filmmakers are screwing with us" as the only remaining logical explanation.
How It Would Have Changed Things:
All three films involve situations where the simple ability to talk on the phone might have averted a disaster (for example: every time Rogue runs away and gets in trouble), but the second one takes the prize.
Much of the plot of X2 hinges on everyone's inability to communicate with people that aren't standing right there -- since Wolverine can't get the shitty walkie-talkie to work after the mansion is attacked, he decides to drive all the way to Boston to Iceman's house, along with Rogue and Pyro. At this point Iceman's brother calls the police ...
"He must be some sort of wizard!"
... who shoot Wolverine in the head, causing Pyro to go completely berserk -- thus taking his first step into the dark side. Later, during the climatic sequence at the dam, Rogue, Iceman and Pyro are waiting in the jet but start getting restless because they haven't heard from the rest of the team. Rather than calling them, Pyro decides to go out and find everyone -- finding Magneto instead, and being persuaded into joining his side. By the third film, Pyro is completely evil, and it all happens because superheroes don't carry phones.
And see how else Hollywood grossly misuses technology in 6 Baffling Flaws in Famous Sci-Fi Technology. Or check out what we'd be doing if old-timey tech was still around in If The Modern World Ran On Medieval Technology.

I want to be able to make chai latte at home, but I don't have an espresso machine, and I don't really know if it is worth buying one just for an occasional drink.
Is there a way to froth the milk without an espresso? Is there any other way people know to make chai latte?
Frothed milk is not essential to Masala Chai, it's normally made with plain milk; the frothed-milk version is mostly a Western variation. But I assume you like it with that little extra. You might try using a milk frother, you can get them much cheaper than the deluxe model I've linked to here. If you're very particular about your frothed milk though, it seems from some quite detailed instructions I found, that a proper milk steaming attachment as found on espresso machines is the way to go. The author of the instructions states that "With a little care, you can create steamed milk that is velvety smooth like the texture of wet shaving cream. The bubbles will be so small that you can barely see them! This is the way it's supposed to be, because this way, it will blend with the espresso, creating a harmony of the flavors instead of a dry, tasteless cap floating on top." The same author provides instructions on how to make Masala Chai with or without frothed milk:
You may also want to take a look at the page titled "Milk Frother Tips" on coffee-makers-cafe.com, which gives a comparison between different methods of frothing milk. But note that that page also states you will get the best results with an espresso machine's steam wand:
You don't need anything fancy to make chai. My home made chai latte is pretty simple:
A great alteration in the summer is to skip warming the milk, and pour it ice cold into the super strong tea, then add some ice cubes.
Many of the comercial places like *$ use the steam tube on their espresso machine just to heat the pre-made mix they keep in the fridge... on more than one occasion when I've been getting a hot chai latte during peak hours, the steam tube on the espresso machine was busy frothing milk and they've used the microwave instead.
For as much as I enjoy various espresso drinks, I must offer up that simply microwaving your milk and pseudo scalding it will bring out a lot of the richness in it. The microwaving will also change the texture of the milk somewhat. You might consider nuking a few shots of milk at different power levels and times to see what might work best for Chai Latte in particular.
There's also vitamin/protein fortified Bolthouse pre-packaged Chai Latte; it's entirely unauthentic and tastes more like a candy cane than tea, but it sure is tasty nonetheless.
The best chai tea recipe: 750ml cold water 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon cinnomon 4 cardomom pods 3 teabags
Bring water and spices to the boil and leave to simmer for 10 minutes Then add milk and as much sugar as you want! Full fat milk is the best but you can use half fat aswell!
This makes enough for 4 mugs and i just take the teabags out and put the rest in the fridge to heat up for later!! it tastes EXACTLY like the chai lattes from starbucks which i was addicted to until i found this recipe!

Also: Film adaptation
In April 2009, it was reported that Sony Pictures would adapt Shadow of the Colossus into a film. Kevin Misher, producer of The Scorpion King, The Interpreter and the upcoming Dune film, is negotiating to produce. The script is being written by Justin Marks, who wrote Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.[91] It was revealed that Fumito Ueda, the game's creator, will be involved in the film's production.[92] -wiki

I thought I could see this through Google Webmaster Tools, and according to a help file, in Google Webmaster Tools, there should be an 'internal links' and an 'external links' menu item. But in my Webmaster Tools, there's an 'internal links' item, but no 'external links' menu item.
migrated from stackoverflow.com May 15 '11 at 1:24
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Perhaps Google renamed "External links" to "Links to your site". Here is the current documentation: Links to your site. Some interesting excerpts:
To get additional statistics you can link your Google Webmaster Tools account to your Analytics account to get that "Data from Google Analytics" link at the bottom.
Update: Looking at my own data, Google Analytics lists more referring sites/links (like Facebook.com and Stackoverflow.com) than Webmaster Tools. Webmaster Tools is probably based solely on Google's index, while Analytics can capture dynamic links and links that are buried behind login's.
This Community Wiki answer has been added to address multiple ways in which one can locate links to one's site.
Referrer Logs
Check your web server's logs for referring page URL's. (Most analytics packages will include a report which contains this information)
Google Webmaster Tools
Open Site Explorer
You can do this on google:
But I don't think this question belongs in stackoverflow, so it will probably be moved.
Since we're apparently trying to turn this (originally GWT-specific) question into a catch-all for finding any and all backlinks to a site, here's how to find links to your site from Wikipedia:
If you want to find out which pages on Wikipedia link to your site (or any site), you can use the Wikipedia external link search.
For more details, see the documentation on Meta-Wiki.
Note that the link search only finds links from pages on a particular wiki, like the English Wikipedia in the examples above. To find links from Wikipedias in other languages, or from other Wikimedia wikis like Wikimedia Commons, you need to repeat the search on each individual wiki, or use a third-party search front-end like this one.
The link search feature is actually a standard part of the MediaWiki software, and will work also on other sites running MediaWiki, such as Wikia wikis. (Finding the link search page through Wikia's user interface may be tricky, but just going to any page on a wiki and replacing the page name with
If you want to get a true picture of what sites are linking to yours, you may want to consider some kind of server side web stats software that looks at the actual log files of your web server (SmarterStats, WebTrends, and AWStats are a few examples). You need to make sure your log files are capturing the referrer.
Google Analytics is an outstanding package and can give you a really good picture of traffic on your site, but in some cases does require some additional configuration of the code on your site. File downloads (.pdf, .doc, .xls, etc.) that do not have the Google Analytics tracking code on them will not have data captured (see here for more information on how to configure this). In addition, if a user clicks away from your site before the Google Analytics script has loaded, you may miss capturing information from that traffic as well.
By using server side web stats tracking, the web server logs themselves don't lie and will tell you exactly what was requested and who requested it.

If I'm using websites that do not use HTTPS, but I'm on a WEP-protected Wi-Fi network, are my cookies safe from being sniffed by third-parties?
Are cookies only at risk during login, or am I at risk any time I use HTTP?
No. Outsiders can crack WEP networks almost as if they weren't encrypted at all, these days. Insiders have even more ease of access. Even on WPA/WPA2 networks, there are still exploits that enable insiders to sniff the traffic of others on the network. Lastly, there's always the risk of someone listening in on the wired side of the network where your data is not protected by the encryption used over the air.
Your data is at risk any time it is sent in the clear. Even if the login page itself is HTTPS, other webpages that transfer your session cookie over HTTP can put that account at risk. You are vulnerable as long as you remain logged in and the website is transferring your data un-encrypted.
The only effective way to protect your session cookies is to only use websites that transfer all data over HTTPS all the time, or use a VPN for everything. Even then, the VPN is only as trustworthy as the VPN service provider. There's also MITM attacks against HTTPS, so you've really got to trust the system and network you're on if that's your only protection.
Ways to secure yourself from Firesheep kiddies and other sniffing
no on the other side of the wifi base-station (the ethernet backbone) there could be a sniffer, WEP is only on the link from client to base-station
cookies get sent each time you send a request to the server that set the cookies so yes they are at risk

That audio of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini venting and cursing (and cursing and cursing) about fans and some members of the media has existed for two years now. But it was made public yesterday because that's when we first learned of it. In fact, the source who gave us the recording reached out to us only a little more than two hours before we published, beginning with an unsolicited tip to our inbox.
Who the tipster is, and what his or her motives might be, has become a topic of some interest in Huskerdom. One hacky columnist, Steven M. Sipple of the Lincoln Journal Star, referred to our source as a "weasel tipster," a "lowdown tipster," and a "degenerate tipster," all within the first four paragraphs of his story. The column also wrongly suggests that our source "perhaps made a nice chunk of cash by selling the audiotape" to us. (We did not buy the audio.) Since everyone seems so interested in the tipster, we figured we'd publish our full exchange with him or her, which is the full extent of what we know. We don't know the source's name or gender (the emails were sent from an anonymous account). We don't know if the source works at the University of Nebraska.

Attached is an audio clip that has been heard by very, very few people and it's only fair that the fanbase of Nebraska know what Pelini thinks about them. "Them" being the same people that pay his salary. The two people who you can hear in the clip are Pelini and Greg Sharpe. Sharpe is the "Voice of the Huskers".
Not much explanation is needed. Just listen.
By the way, you're welcome for the click-thrus this will generate on your site haha
From: Dom CosentinoTo: [Redacted]Subject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini AudioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 2:58 PM
Thanks for this. Can you provide a little more context to it? Was this before Pelini and Sharpe were about to do a radio interview after the game? Who's the woman who can also be heard?
From: [Redacted]To: Dom CosentinoSubject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini audioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 3:31 PM
Hey Dom,
This audio has actually been kept confidential for a long time, especially considering how immediate everything is in todays world. You are correct in that this was the audio right before the post-game interview on the Husker sports network. This audio is actually from after the Ohio St. game in 2011. Nebraska came back to win the game 34-27 after being down 27-6 at one point. Evidently this is how Pelini's attitude is after a big win? Also of note, you probably already realize this but he takes a hell of a shot at Tom Shatel. Tom writes for the World-Herald and has for a hell of a long time. He is the most influential sports writer in this sports crazy state. I don't know who the lady is....probably just a behind the scenes worker like a producer or something like that? Let me know if you have any other questions. Release this audio whenever you would like however there is no time like the present in my opinion. You'll get the most traction right now after Pelini's remarks about Frazier today and the fan base reeling after yet ANOTHER embarrasment on national TV last Saturday.
I feel like this is a given but I hope I can trust you with myself being anonymous throughout this?
From: Dom CosentinoTo: [Redacted]Subject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini audioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 3:44 PM
Why did you send this to us now if this is two years old?

To: Dom CosentinoSubject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini audioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 3:52 PM
It may be 2 years old however I hadn't gotten it until more recently than that. I'm sure you've already done a ton of searching to see if this has been released or available anywhere else since it seems almost impossible that something of this magnitude has been kept a secret for so long. I can assure you that it hasn't seen the light of day. You'll be the first if you decide to post it today.
From: Dom CosentinoTo: [Redacted]Subject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini audioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Why do you hate Bo Pelini so much?
From: [Redacted]To: Dom CosentinoSubject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini audioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 4:01 PM
I don't hate him as a person or anything. In any case, I dont' want to get into that. As I said before, I believe "it's only fair that the fanbase of Nebraska know what Pelini thinks about them."
I'd hope that you wouldn't turn this into a story about a fan trying to stick it to Pelini. We both know that this audio, by itself, more than holds it own as a relevant news story.
From: Dom CosentinoTo: [Redacted]Subject: Re: "Secret" Bo Pelini audioMon, Sep 16, 2013 at 4:08 PM
Was just curious. Thanks.
About 35 minutes after we published Pelini's rant, we heard from a different source who asked us not to disclose his name. This second source—who made it clear he is not the same person as our original source—told us he had learned a recording of Pelini's rant may have been out there back on Oct. 10, 2011, just two days after it was recorded. The second source said he first heard about it from someone who had talked to someone "within NRG media." About a year ago, our second source said, he was given a redacted transcript of what Pelini said on the the recording, which he shared with us:
The second source told us because he never actually heard the audio, he decided not to do anything with the transcript. At that point, the second source said, he more or less "forgot" about the matter until the actual recording was published yesterday.

Birmingham Register Office - Registering a Death
Download our Bereavement Guide
When someone dies you need to register his or her death at the Register Office in the area where the death took place. The death should be registered within five days of when it took place, unless the death has been referred to the Coroner.
Birmingham Register Office has an appointment only system. Please ring 0121 675 1004 or 0121 675 2902 or 0121 675 2904 to make an appointment.
We apologise as our phone line is very busy and some customers are having difficulties getting through. You can fill in the contact form at the bottom of this page, and we will call you back to arrange a suitable appointment for you.
Essential Information
Register Office Location and Opening Hours
Access to roads around the Register Office are affected by the development of Paradise in the city centre, please check the access update website for current information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I register the death?
You can register a death at:
Birmingham Register Office, Holliday Wharf, Holliday Street, Birmingham, B1 1TJ.
You can view our location on this Map.
Who can register the death?
A relative normally registers the death. Other persons who are able to register in order of preference are:
- A person present at the death
- The occupier of the premises where the death occurred if he/she knew about it
- The person arranging the funeral (this does not include the funeral director)
What do I need to bring with me?
You will need to take the medical certificate of cause of death with you. You will get this from the doctor or the bereavement officer at the hospital. Alternatively, if there has been a post mortem, the coroner may issue the document you require to register the death. The doctor or hospital will advise you in these circumstances.
It would be helpful if you can also bring the deceased's:
- birth certificate
- marriage / civil partnership certificate
- NHS Medical Card
What information will I need to give?
You will need to provide the following information about the deceased:
- The date and place of death
- The full name of the person who has died (this should be the name they used at the time of their death)
- Any other names they may have been known as. For example, they may have changed their name by deed poll.
- Their date and place of birth (town and county, or country if born outside England and Wales)
- Their job and whether they were retired
- Their usual address
If the person who died was a married person or in a civil partnership or widowed, you will also need to know:
- In the case of a woman, her surname before she first married or registered her civil partnership
- The full name and occupation of the deceased's wife, husband or civil partner
You will need to give your full name and address. You will also be asked to give your relationship to the person who died, for example: son, daughter, widow, widower, niece, nephew, surviving civil partner, or the person making the funeral arrangements.
You will also be asked to answer the questions below. This information is used for government statistics and is kept confidential.
- Was the person who died married or in a civil partnership?
- If their husband or wife or civil partner is still living,what is their date of birth?
- How long did the person stay in hospital or other establishment, for example a hospice?
- Was the person under 75? If they were, what industry did they work in?
- Did they get a pension paid from government funds? This includes the civil service, teachers, armed forces and war widows. This does not include the state pension or pension credits. You will be asked this so that the registrar can let the relevant department know the person has died.
- Have you found a medical card showing the person NHS number?
How much does it cost?
There is no charge for registering a death. There is a fee payable for any death certificates you may require.
What documents will I receive?
Once you have completed the registration, the registrar will normally give you a
green form to give to the funeral director; and a white form (called a BD8) that you can send off with any benefit or pension details to the Department for Work and Pensions. There is no charge for these forms.
How much is a death certificate?
You will also be able to obtain death certificates for £4.00 on the day of registration. Payment for certificates should be made in cash. After registration, certificates cost £7.00. Once the register is full it is placed in the archives and certificates will then cost £10.00 each.
You will need these certificates when you are sorting out the finances of the person who has died. For example, banks and insurance companies will probably need a death certificate to allow access to accounts and funds.
What do I do if the death has been reported to the coroner?
The coroner's office will advise you of the procedure and possible time frames. Once the coroner has told you that you can register the death, please call us on 0121 675 1004 or 0121 675 2902 or 0121 675 2904 to make an appointment.
What if a relative cannot attend to register the death?
You will need to speak to us, as each case can be different, please telephone us on 0121 675 1004 or 0121 675 2902 or 0121 675 2904.
What if I do not live in Birmingham and can not attend at Birmingham Register Office?
You will need to speak to us, as each case can be different, please
telephone us on 0121 675 1004 or 0121 675 2902 or 0121 675 2904.
What if my religion requires burial within 24 hours?
A registrar can be available to issue the necessary forms at specific times on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. Funeral Directors have full details of how to use this service.
For more information see our Emergency Bereavement Service page.
What is 'Tell Us Once'?

Wrong paths using "views" Controller property on an app built with Cmd
Taking as a reference the skeleton generated by sencha app build,
if you try to include a view on MyApp.controller.Main like this:
Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Main', { extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', views:['Main'] });
Exactly the same problem happens using the "stores" property.
How can I fix this ? This problem is preventing me to update my application.
5 Nov 2012 5:24 PM #2
This happens because the Ext.Loader is receiving the expression as:
instead of:
Same happens for stores that are included using the "stores" property from a Controller.
I wonder where this weird concatenation is taking place.
Also wonder why nobody has complained about this obvious problem.
5 Nov 2012 6:15 PM #3
Any idea ?
This is the only problem preventing me to migrate my app.
I can get rid of views cause they are already loaded via bootstrap.js
But I need to use the "stores" property, cause it instantiates the stores and add the getters which I use.
Without "stores" controller property working, I have to create each store manually and use Ext.getStore instead of the getter.
5 Nov 2012 6:37 PM #4
This bug has been already reported. Sencha doesn't seem to be too keen to fix it, unfortunatelly, as it affects everybody who starts a new Ext JS application using Sencha Cmd.
7 Nov 2012 12:10 AM #5
This should be fixed in Sencha Cmd 3.0 GA (126.96.36.199). The issue had to do with how the metadata contained complete file names but the MVC namespace resolver was expecting path prefixes to define namespaces.
You will need to do a "sencha app refresh" to refresh the bootstrap.js file to get this to work.

This is a question from the free Harvard online abstract algebra lectures. I'm posting my solutions here to get some feedback on them. For a fuller explanation, see this post.
This problem is from assignment 5.
Prove that the fibres of a map form a partition of the domain.
Let $G$ and $G^\prime$ be sets and $f$ be a map from $G$ to $G^\prime$. The nonempty fibres of $f$ correspond to the elements of the image of $f$ in $G^\prime$. Let $R$ be a relation on $G$ defined by $a \sim b$ if $a$ and $b$ are in the same fibre. For all $a\in G$, $f(a)=f(a)$, so $a\sim a$ and $R$ is reflexive. Assume, for some $a,b\in G$, that $a\sim b$. Then $f(a)=f(b)$. So $b\sim a$ and $R$ is symmetric. Assume, for some $a,b,c\in G$, that $a\sim b$ and $b\sim c$. Then $f(a)=f(b)$ and $f(b)=f(c)$. So $f(a)=f(c)$, $a\sim c$, and $R$ is transitive. Therefore, $R$ is an equivalence relation and the nonempty fibres of $f$ form a partition of $G$.
Again, I welcome any critique of my reasoning and/or my style as well as alternative solutions to the problem.

Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] [OMPI svn] svn:open-mpi r19600
From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-09-22 16:54:25
I think the point is that as a group, we consciously, deliberately,
and painfully decided not to support multi-cluster. And as a result,
we ripped out a lot of supporting code. Starting down this path again
will likely result in a) re-opening all the discussions, b) re-adding
a lot of code (or code effectively similar to what was there before).
Let's not forget that there were many unsolved problems surrounding
multi-cluster last time, too.
It was also pointed out in Ralph's mails that, at least from the
descriptions provided, adding the field in orte_node_t does not
actually solve the problem that ORNL is trying to solve.
If we, as a group, decide to re-add all this stuff, then a) recognize
that we are flip-flopping *again* on this issue, and b) it will take a
lot of coding effort to do so. I do think that since this was a group
decision last time, it should be a group decision this time, too. If
this does turn out to be as large of a sub-project as described, I
would be opposed to the development occurring on the trunk; hg trees
are perfect for this kind of stuff.
I personally have no customers who are doing cross-cluster kinds of
things, so I don't personally care if cross-cluster functionality
works its way [back] in. But I recognize that OMPI core members are
investigating it. So the points I'm making are procedural; I have no
real dog in this fight...

WACO (October 25, 2012)--A driver was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated assault after a road rage incident that left a motorcyclist injured.
Thien Qouc Nguyen, 37, was ordered held on $20,000 bond and also was placed on a federal immigration detainer without bond.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said Nguyen was arrested Wednesday morning at the scene of a traffic accident on Lake Shore Drive after a motorcycle rider told police the driver of a Mercedes sedan pulled in front of him and slammed on his brakes.
Swanton said the 20-year-old cycle rider reported he was riding his 2000 Ducati motorcycle near Lake Shore Drive and Gholson Road when the driver of the Mercedes pulled alongside and tried to him to race.
The motorcyclist refused and as he pulled away from the intersection, he said, the driver of the Mercedes rode his bumper and then passed him, pulled in front of him and then slammed on his brakes.
The motorcyclist said he had to lay his bike down to keep from hitting the car and during the process was injured.
Based on the victim's statement, Swanton said, officers determined the driver had used the car as a weapon and arrested him for aggravated assault.
