Chizik says he's confident he can revive Auburn
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn coach Gene Chizik said he feels confident he can turn the football program around. The Tigers have slipped from a national title team two years ago to a miserable season. They're a longshot to pick up a win in the Southeastern Conference after Saturday night's 38-0 shellacking by No. 5 Georgia.

This week on #MasterofCocktails we're making a lesser known cocktail – the 'Modern Cocktail No. 2', taken from the superb reference tome that is The Savoy Cocktail Book.
Now – it's worth remembering that Mr Harry Craddock, the author of this book, would have had access to very different ingredients to the ones we have today. For that reason, I've (hopefully lovingly) changed a few of the quantities and in one case omitted an ingredient. I'll explain as we go.

At work my company uses internet monitoring software (websense). I know if I visit a https ssl-encrypted site (such as https://secure.logmein.com) they can't see what I'm doing on the site since all the traffic is encrypted. But do they see, that I visited https://secure.logmein.com ?
An encrypted connection is established first before any HTTP requests are performed (e.g. GET, POST, HEAD, etc.), but the hostname and port are visible.
There are many other ways to detect which sites you're visiting as well, for example:
A popular way to evade a websense proxy is to first establish a connection (via HTTPS:) to an outside proxy (e.g. https://proxy.org/) and make your request from there.
It is possible, but it requires some setup. Here is how it is done, and how you can tell.
On a corporate computer, where software updates are pushed from a central location, it is possible to send to your computer a "trusted" certificate that will be stored next to the trusted certificate of say, Verising or Entrust.
Your company's proxy will hold the private key of that certificate.
When you visite a HTTPS web site, like https://mybank.com/, the proxy will put itself in the middle. It will establish a HTTPS connection with your browser generating on the fly a certificate for mybank.com. It will replay (and possibly monitor or log) all you traffic on a new connexion, from the proxy to mybank.com.
You can tell if this is the case by looking at the padlock icon. If you see that the certificate for mybank.com was issued by acmesprockets.com (the name of your company), then you know they can see your "encrypted" traffic. But since you company can force your computer to trust any certificate, they could create a certificate using a well known name, like "Entrust.net Secure Server Certification Authority" (even if that would probably be illegal under some trademark law).
So how can you tell? After connecting to the website, look at the certificate. Details vary for each browser, but clicking on the padlock icon next to https is usually the place to start. From that certificate, find the certificate thumbprint and look it up online. Better yet, do the same thing with the certificate authority. If you don't find the certificate thumbpring online (but you can when you are at home or on your phone), chances are your HTTPS traffic is decrypted along the way.
Simple Proxy Servers
Even a simple proxy will see and log the names of the servers. For example visiting https://example.com/some/address.html will create a request like this from the browser to the proxy server:
The rest of the connection is encrypted and a simple proxy just forwards it.
Complex Proxy Servers
There are, however, more complex proxy servers, that are able to see the complete traffic in plain text. These kinds of proxy servers, however, require that you have a root certificate installed for which they can create server certificates on the fly.
Looking at the certificate chain in the browser usually reveals this kind of man in the middle attack. At least in the common case of it being done by your own company and not state agencies:
With HTTPS, the SSL/TLS tunnel is established first, and HTTP traffic happens only within that tunnel. Some information still leaks:
From these we can conclude that the target server name is definitely not a secret. You may assume that your company learns it.
The rest of the communication is encrypted so it is nominally inaccessible from outsiders. However, the length of the data packets which are sent and received by the client can still be inferred by any eavesdropper (with single byte accuracy if a RC4 cipher suite is used), and this can also reveal a lot of information, depending on context.
If your company is serious about security then it may have installed a more advanced proxy like Blue Coat's ProxySG. Such systems perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack by dynamically generating a fake certificate for the target server. This gives them access to the complete data, as if there was no SSL.
Note that, however, such interception is possible only if the company could add to the trust store of your desktop system the root CA certificate that the proxy uses to issue the fake certificates. This is a rather intrusive action. Therefore, if they could do that, why would they stop there ? They may have inserted, just as easily, a handful of spying software which will plug in your Web browser, your keyboard and your display; and everything you do on the machine is known to them.
Alternatively, if you can make sure that your machine is free from any interference from your company (e.g. it is your own device and you installed no company-provided software on it), then MitM-proxy cannot decrypt your SSL connections.
A very simple way to hide your traffic from your company is not to use their facilities at all. Bring your own laptop with a 3G key (or tethered to your smartphone). By paying for your own Internet, you can evade network-based detection and spend your days roaming the Web instead of doing the work you are paid to do (but, of course, detection of slackers has never been restricted to only using computerized gizmos).
If websense is configured to log it, then yes, they will be able to see where you went, all the URLs you visit.
Content is less likely to be viewed - it depends on how websense/proxy is set up - but it can be done. It depends whether the SSL session is from your browser to the server or if it is just to the proxy (effectively running a man in the middle attack)
Following on Guillaume's answer, another way to check for foul play is to use the "Perspectives" Firefox add-on. When visiting an https site it checks (through Internet "notaries") that the public key you receive (via the web server certificate) does indeed belong to the site you're visiting.
They can see all of your SSL traffic unencrypted if they use a BlueCoat proxy or similar. Many large Enterprises do this.
Yes, your company can monitor your SSL traffic.
Other responses say that SSL is secure, indeed it is.
But, your corporate proxy can intercept and inspect your encrypted traffic as denoted by the image below:
This image is when I visit Google in my work computer.
Here, they use the Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 which can intercept the connection between me and a secure site.
The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) security is based on PKI (Public Key Infrastruture).
The PKI consists on a series of trusted certificates called root certificates.
Here in my company, one of the root certificates is the certificate which Forefront generates the certificates for each website I visit.
Because my computer trusts the certificate which the proxy used, no warning was generated and the connection is done securely but can be inspected by the proxy server.
Not just from certificate but also from handshake messages servername information can be get. As I tested %80 of the traffic contains server_name extension in client hello message(first message send by client to server in https protocol) . But this extension is optional and sometimes it does not exist .In this case certificate can be checked. In certificate there exist server name again .

Callback Function for Model.save()
Hey everyone, I seem to be unable to do callbacks when calling Model.save().
Here is my save function:
Record.save({ callback: function(records, operation, success){ console.log("Yeaa!"); } });
And here is my configured proxy:
proxy: { type: 'direct', api: { //client-side function : server-side function. update: QueryTraining.updateTraining }, reader:{ type:'json', successProperty: 'success' } }

The success property should have no affect on success/failure. That should run off of the http status code (eg 200 or 500)Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Sorry but I do not understand the answer.
Server is returning 200, I need to let the user know the record was saved.
No callbacks seem to get fired.
*** EXTDIRECT Ext.app.REMOTING_API = { ... "VFave":[ {"name":"Create","len":2}, {"name":"Delete","len":1}, {"name":"extCrud","len":1} ], ... *** MY MODEL Ext.define('MBH.model.VFave', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', IdProperty:'id', fields:[ ... ], proxy: { type: 'direct', reader: { type: 'json', root: 'data' }, api:{ create:function(rec,callback,directProxy){ Ext.app.VFave.Create(rec,callback,directProxy) }, destroy:function(rec,callback,directProxy){ Ext.app.VFave.Delete(rec,callback,directProxy) }, update:function(rec,callback,directProxy){ debugger Ext.app.VFave.extCrud('delete', rec,callback,directProxy) } }, ... *** MY CONTROLLER var vf = this.getFaveModel() vf.set('video_id',111) vf.set('user_id',222) vf.save({ success: function(record, operation) { //record is the updated record, except for collections //this collection will have the full records: //operation.resultSet.records //operation.resultSet.records[i] for each one if you are batching debugger }, failure: function(record, operation) { //handle failure(s) here debugger } })
But I dunno how to let the user know it happened.
You can see I have cobbled together from examples and don't quite get it yet.
How do I get a success or failure callback from a model save call using ExtDirect proxy ?
8 Mar 2013 5:04 PM #4
@stewardsencha Not sure what is the problem here. You're calling model.save() but do not pass it the callback function. That method accept the same config options as Ext.data.Operation constructor, and neither "success" nor "failure" are among them. You can take a look at Ext.data.Model.save source, it's not very complicated.
Also, it's not necessary to configure your proxy with function references. String method names will work too, and actual Direct method references will be resolved at proxy construction time (4.1) or at first Direct method call (4.2).

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
The USS Bullhead was the last American naval vessel lost in World War II. This history of the submarine—from launch to disappearance—is told by the only war correspondent allowed on a wartime submarine patrol. Narrow escapes from floating mines, fast dives to avoid enemy aircraft, and a daring sortie to rescue three badly hurt survivors of a downed B-25 are just a few of the adventures Martin Sheridan recounts. Trained as a feature writer, he shares his own experiences as well as the humorous and poignant incidents of everyday life aboard the submarine to capture that intangible spirit of camaraderie and sense of impending danger.
First published in 1947, the narrative is based on a journal the author kept during the Bullhead's first war patrol in March and April 1945 and supplemental information from official Navy reports. The book, supported by a unique collection of period photographs, describes the perilous undersea war in the Pacific as only a firsthand account can.
Martin Sheridan, an author and former war correspondent for the Boston Globe, lives in Gilman, Connecticut.

Let $X$ be a compact complex surface of general type which a ball quotient. Is it true that $\pi_{1}(X)$ can not contain ${\mathbb{Z}}^{2}$ as a subgroup? What kind of infinite abelian groups can occur as a subgroup of $\pi_{1}(X)$?
If I understand your question, you ask if a cocompact torsion free subgroup of $PU(2,1)$ (namely $\Gamma=\pi_{1}(X)$) can contain a ${\mathbb Z}^2$.
This is not the case, because $\Gamma$ is a Gromov-hyperbolic group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_group, due to the fact that $X$ has a negatively curved riemannian metric (quotient of that of the complex hyperbolic plane, aka 4-ball).
I don't know what a ball quotient is, but the decisive value is the genus of $X$. If the genus is zero, $X$ is the projective space, if the genus is two, $X$ is a torus and the fundamental group is ${\mathbb Z}^2$ if the genus is $\ge 2$, then $X$ is a quotient of the upper half plane and the fundamental group $\pi$ is a uniform torsion-free lattice in $G=PSL_2({\mathbb R})$. Therefore every element is semisimple and the centralizer of any element $g\ne 1$ in $G$ is a torus, so the centralizer in $\pi$ is isomorphis to $\mathbb Z$. This means that in the case of genus $\ge 2$ the answer is $\mathbb Z$ only.

The current stable release is 2.4.7.
Swish-e is continually under development. This page contains a laundry list of requested features planned for a future Swish-e release. To request new features, bug fixes, or (best of all) to submit code patches, send e-mail to the Swish-e mailing list.
Daily Builds
Swish-e source is available for anonymous public download from the swish-e subversion server.
The daring and adventurous can download the daily build snapshot from the swish-daily page. This is not an official release of Swish-e, rather the current development version. There is no guarantee that these packages run. Please do not use this code in production.
For Windows development binary (pre-compiled) snapshots, please
see http://www.webaugur.com/wares/files/swish-e/daily/.
The most current Windows development version is here.
Questions regarding daily development builds, or about using Swish-e in general, should be directed to the Swish-e mailing list.
Features planned for 2.6
- Remove expat and other older parsers. Libxml2 will be default (only) parser.
- Remove -S http method.
- Documentation overhaul.
Features planned for 3.0
Swish-e 3.0 (abbreviated Swish3) will be a complete overhaul of the code. You can track development progress here. Major feature improvements will include:
- Unicode support
- Unicode is the international standard
for character encodings. Swish3 will implement
support for the UTF-8
character encoding,
which should handle all major languages in the world (UTF-8 handles up to
2,147,483,648 unique characters).
The Swish-e developers need input from non-English language experts.
Please contribute to the discussion at the
Swish-e mailing list.
Some significant known issues include:
- lowercase vs. UPPERCASE
- Version 2.x uses tolower() to lowercase all characters before searching and indexing. Should the same approach be used for UTF-8? Will this have significant impact on usability for non-English languages?
- Wildcards
- Version 2.x uses an internal table to support wildcard searching with *. The table assumes 8-bit (non-Unicode) character encoding. That approach will likely need to be re-thought for multibyte encodings like UTF-8.
- Tokenizing
- Version 2.x uses 5 different configuration options to control how a 'word' (token) is defined. The basic assumption is that a word is defined by which characters it includes. That assumption is based on a manageable character set of 256 characters. However, the sheer size of UTF-8 makes that system unworkable. Instead, some kind of regular expression library will likely be used.
- Stemming
- The stemmers used will need full international support.
- Configuration format
- Since Swish-e depends on a configuration file for StopWords, Character definitions, etc., the parsing of the configuration file must support UTF-8 as well. The current idea is to switch to XML-style configuration files and use Libxml2 to parse them.
- Incremental indexing
- Swish3 will support true incremental indexing. This will allow for document records to be modified, added and deleted in an existing index. This feature may or may not build on the version 2.x experimental btree/incremental feature.
- Scaling
- Swish3 will reliably scale to larger (multimillion) document collections.
- Indexing API
- Swish3 will include an indexing API in addition to the current searching API.
- Streamlined feature set
- Swish3 will not contain several features in the current version:
- Expat parsers
- -S http indexing method and related configuration options
- Older stemmers
- Current native index format
- Alternate index backends
- Swish3 will offer alternate index backends using available open source libraries, such as Xapian, HyperEstraier, Lucene, or Lemur.
The Players
You can't tell the players without a program. And we wouldn't have a program without all these players! All these folks have made key contributions to Swish-e: If you are not listed here, and you should be, drop a line.
On the Field
- Bill Moseley
- The person leading the charge. Rewrote much of the documentation and bundled it with the distribution (you now know who to complain to), added the "prog" document source feature, added Expat and libxml2 parsers, redesigned properties, and added many new and exciting features.
- Jose Manuel Ruiz
- Jose added phrase searching and has made huge contributions toward speed and memory usage improvements. He added result sorting, improved metanames and properties, merging, and searching. Swish is the powerful program it is today because of Jose. And there's more coming!
- David Norris
- David has provided ports to all flavors of Windows, as well as a Swish-e interface script written in PHP3. The windows version is now bundled with a self installer, making instalation just a click away.
- Peter Karman
- Peter added improvements to the ranking code and a new website design. His main role is creating more work for Bill.
- Roy Tennant
- Roy was the one who originally rescued SWISH when Kevin Hughes, the original author, was no longer supporting it. He has remained active in the effort since the beginning, but can't code in C to save his life, and therefore must remain content with web site support and other such minor tasks.
Hall of Fame
- Bill Meier
- Bill improved the ranking code, and provided much help in memory optimizations and indexing speed.
- Rainer Scherg
Rainer has worked on Swish-e for many years. Rainer added Swish-e's filters providing ways to index many
document types. Rainer also added the powerful "-x" feature to easily control Swish-e's output.
- Giulia Hill
- Giulia was the first programmer to tackle upgrading SWISH to Swish-e, back when it was a project of the UC Berkeley Library. Without her, we would not have gotten out of the starting gate.
- Ron Klatchko
- Ron added the crawling capability to Swish-e, subsequently enhanced by others.
- Kirk Hastings
- Kirk programmed a neat Perl-based tool, called "AutoSwish" that allowed anyone to easily set up and maintain indexes from a web page. Unfortunately, this program is no longer a part of the release due to security issues.
- Bas Meijer
- Bas has been an active member of the Swish-e team since 1999 providing code enhancements and user support. He converted Swish-e's build process to the GNU Auto Configure script and ported Swish-e to a number of platforms. Bas has also provided add-on scripts to the Swish-e user community.
- Marc Gaulin
- Marc added code to support the document properties and stemming features, among other things.
- Warren Jones
- Prentiss Riddle, Rice University
- The source of a number of SWISH bug fixes that were implemented in the first Swish-e release
- Mark Seiden
We owe a debt of gratitude to Kevin Hughes, without whom there would be no SWISH, and definitely no Swish-e. His dedication to building useful tools and making them widely available should be an inspiration to us all.

I'm creating a hidden "Access Log"
.txt file of employees accessing a program I've created and need to know how to make it so this file cannot be deleted.
Reason being, this program helps to automate a lot of tasks that we perform on workstations, and it can do a lot of damage as well. So I need to track who accesses it just in case it becomes an issue.
Reiterating the question, how do I keep anyone from deleting this file while still being able to write to it.

I've been getting the same errors on nearly every pano I shoot and I simply cannot figure it out.
Basically, using a D300 with Nikon 10.5, Nodal Ninja 5L. I'm shooting 7 around and 1 up.
Everything seems to go fine but the final product always has very small stitching errors with the zenith.
If I stitch without the zenith all is good. When I add the zenith I get errors near the top.
Any ideas? I'm not sure if it's a setup error, a control point error or a work flow error.
Here are a couple of samples:
Any help would be appreciated.

Trojans Stumble at Brevard, 78-73January 22, 2014
BREVARD, N.C. – Despite junior Sierra Simpson's 17 points and 10 assists for her third double-double of the season, Anderson University women's basketball was unable to hang to its halftime lead, falling to South Atlantic Conference member Brevard, 78-73, Wednesday evening at the Boshamer Gymnasium.
To go along with her 17 points and 10 assists, Simpson notched six rebounds for her second double-double with points and assists. Following the guard was junior sharpshooter Lesley Woods who drained five 3-pointers, including three in the final four minutes. Freshman Heather Jankowy recorded three first half 3-pointers en route to 11 points, while classmate Alexis Dillard posted a game-high 13 rebounds.
For the game, the Trojans shot 43.9 percent (25-for-57) from the field and 38.5 percent (10-for-26) from 3-point range, but was unable to contain BC's shooting performance of 51.1 percent (24-for-47) from the floor and 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from behind the arc. In the teams' earlier meeting, BC shot just 28 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from 3-point range, as AU held Brevard to just 54 points.
"This was a tough loss on the road," Anderson head coach Jimmy Garrity said. "I give Brevard a lot of credit on how hard they played and making big shots in key situations. I thought we did a good job on the boards, especially, offensively, but had a hard time in converting them into second chance points."
The Tornados were paced by Madison Lenox with a game-high 23 points in 36 minutes, finishing 7-of-12 from the floor. Lenox was followed by guard Lynsey Crisp with 19 points and Shelby Wolfe with 17 points. With the trio combining for 59 points, they produced 75.6 percent of the scoring for the Tornados.
Anderson began the game quickly, jumping out to a 10-point advantage with 13:33 left in the opening period after Simpson knocked in a jumper at the 20-10 mark, which would be its largest lead of the contest.
Following the bucket, the Tornados began to cut into the AU lead, dropping the deficit to just two points with 3:10 remaining when Lenox knocked in her lone trey in the opening period. Brevard would eventually even the score at 37-37 when Crisp knocked in back-to-back free throws.
After junior Jasmine Franklin scored a jumper with under a minute remaining in the opening period, Crisp would be fouled by freshman Nakia Young which would send Crisp back to the free throw line. Crisp made both to even the score at 39-39 with 18 seconds left, but AU answered with late lay-in by Simpson to take a 41-39 lead into halftime. Simpson closed the opening half with a team-high 12 points.
Wolfe recorded a jumper to even the score at 41-41 to open the second half, but Dillard retook the lead when Simpson fed the ball underneath to the freshman who netted an easy lay-in. The 43-41 lead would be the Trojans' last advantage of the contest.
With Brevard holding at least a five-point advantage for the next 15 minutes after Crisp buried a 3-pointer following the Dillard lay-in at the 18:23 mark, the Tornados took their largest lead of the game when of six Taylor Hiatt made two free throws with 3:54 left. Hiatt eventually finished the game with five points and seven rebounds.
Facing their largest deficit, Woods answered with a deep trey to chip into the BC lead. After Wolfe brought the Brevard lead back to five with a lay-in, Simpson went on a 4-0 run by herself, bringing the Trojans within one with just over a minute remaining.
On the next possession, the Tornados answered when Hiatt buried a 3-pointer from the wing to bring the lead back to four. Not to be outdone, Woods grabbed a pass from Jankowy on the opposite end and netted her final trey of the contest, sending the score to 74-73 with 33 seconds left.
Needing a defensive stop on the opposite end, BC got its most important basket of the evening when Lenox fed Wolfe under the Anderson basket for a lay-in to bring the score to 76-73 with 18 seconds left.
Setting up a play on AU's next possession, Jankowy's pass to Woods in the corner to too strong and the ball bounced off Woods' hands and out-of-bounds. After being fouled, Lenox clinched the game with two free throws, handing Brevard its sixth victory of the season and drawing a game behind Anderson in the conference standings at 4-7.
"We didn't do a good job taking care of the ball," Garrity said. "It's tough to win when you turn the ball over 24 times. We will learn from this game put it behind us as we prepare for a big game this weekend."
With her five treys on the night, Woods moved into sole possession of 10th-place in the program's all-time 3-pointers made list, passing Regina McCoy (1997-00). The junior now has 111 made 3-pointers for her career. Senior Emily Willoughby is now four 3-pointers from 100 for her career after notching two on the evening.
The setback snaps a five-game winning streak over Brevard and marks AU's second loss at Boshamer Gymnasium in four tries. The loss also marks the first time Anderson has fallen this season when scoring 70 points or more for game.
The Trojans look to bounce back this weekend when it welcomes SAC newcomer Queens to the Abney Athletic Center on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.

Comments: Got a pack of these in bombshell in my mystery tackle box a while back. Rigged them with a weighted wide gap hook (very light, maybe 3/16?) and fished it like a spybait near the bottom. Had a 5 1/2 pounde large mouth and 6 or so 2+ pounders within 2 hours. Great tail action and much more rolling when rigged light than expected. Nose isn't very durable and only lasts a couple fish (or misses) but I like the bait so I'll be buying a few more packs. Bombshell color is killer.
From: Aaron: Covington, GA 11/30/14
Comments: This is a good, smaller sized swimbait option. So far, I've fished the Green Pumpkin Watermelon, Fishalicious, and Candygill colors. I've not had the most success with the Green Pumpkin Watermelon color, followed by the Fishalicious color. I've also had the best luck fishing this with a Lunker City #5 Texposer hook - it seems to make this bait swim and dart a little better. The 5 aught Texposer hook barely fits the bait, but it seems to work better for me than a standard owner swimbait hook. I like this bait b/c it is a little smaller than what I usually throw (Skinny Dippers), but not as small as a Reaction Innovations Little Dipper (3.5"). I plan on keeping my swimbait box stocked with these going forward.
From: Shawn: Tampa, FL 4/24/14
Comments: This is a good bait to fish behind a chatter bait. it really is. But, if you want a swim bait that's going to move water buy the keitech swing impact fat or evolve darkstar swimmers. they will wobble, roll, and put off a lot more vibration. Again- this is a great bait on a jughead or behind chatter baits, but if you are fishing keel weighted hooks or behind a swim jig.. use evolve or keitechs.
From: Jim: NY 4/12/14
Comments: Awesome Swimbait. Very durable and very versatile. The Bombshell color picture does not do it justice. What an awesome color. Will be buying more
From: Joe: USA 4/8/14
Comments: Awesome Swimbait! I love to use it as a trailer for my swimjigs and chatterbaits. Very durable just like all of Missile Baits products. Will last several fish.
From: Unknown: TX 3/9/14
Comments: I just bought a pack of these in the Fishalicious! What an awesome color--you can barely see the blue flakes in the color on TW, but they are definitely more visible in person. It's not an overkill on the blue flakes either--they are very small; just perfect. The bait also has a slit in the bottom making your hook only having to penetrate through a small portion of plastic, increasing hook ups. It is also very slim on the sides, making it a perfect bait for adding it to the back of swim jigs, spinnerbaits, chatter baits, and just a plain swim bait. You guys need to get these in your hands to really appreciate them.

| Bloch, H. P., Hydrocarbon Processing Staff,
[start up]
[base plates]
In early 2012, a rotating equipment engineer was involved in
a machinery quality assessment (MQA).1 Located
halfway around the globe, this engineers new job was to
oversee the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company and to
ensure that the multinational owner-operators long-term
reliability interests were
understood and carried out.
However, as best-of-class (BOC) owners know, EPC companies
are primarily geared to low initial cost and on-schedule plant
startups. So, reasonable compromises must be found among the
initial cost, safe long-term equipment performance, life-cycle
cost (cost of ownership) and project schedules. BOC
owner-operators have formalized and institutionalized MQA with
the goal of identifying the right compromises.
Representing the owners interest, this engineer was
involved in talks with the EPC about acceptable methods of
baseplate leveling for centrifugal process pumps. The engineer
noted that the pumps at issue did not have adequate access on
the mounting pads. Therefore, the machined-mounting surfaces
could not be used for leveling without removing the pump. The
vendor had suggested using the machined surface of the
discharge nozzle instead. However, API RP-686 states
that nozzels should never be used for that purpose.
The rotating equipment engineer now consulted a number of
relevant booksamong them Pump Users
Handbook and Machinery Component Maintenance and Repair, both of
which have argued against the vendors and design
contractors quick, but risky, approaches. These two books
and several other experience-based texts strongly recommend
that the pump and driver be removed from the common baseplate.
True, the pump and driver had been premounted by the vendor on
the baseplate to ascertain bolt locations and fit. Transporting
the premounted pump/driver set as a single unit facilitates
shipping. However, it should not be considered the best
approach to a long-term, reliable field installation.
Full access to machined surfaces will be needed for proper
baseplate leveling. This will require removing both the pump
and driver until leveling is accomplished.
From this assignment, the rotating equipment engineer then
restated the main points made in those books. These texts
always emphasize equipment reliability and caution against
making quick installation the primary goal.
In this case, for unexplained reasons, the EPC provider had
chosen to specify conventional baseplates for the process pumps
on this project. Baseplates prefilled with
epoxy would have been viable contenders here.2
Ideally, the owners representative involved in the MQA
may have looked into the matter and could have asked to examine cost
justification, as well as long-term reliability issues. All parties may
have been surprised by the findings.
But even as we sometimes limit ourselves to the more
traditional installation methods, let us be sure to keep in
mind the linkage between installation details and the ultimate
equipment reliability. We must verify that no distortion of
baseplate mounting surfaces occurred due to the shipping and
delivery processes.
Unless pumps and drivers are removed from their common
baseplates, it will not be possible to confirm that all
mounting surfaces are coplanar, parallel and colinear.
Such confirmations would be needed to make the mounting pad
portions of the baseplates qualify as leveling surfaces.
Establishing these as reference surfaces would be important to
achieve a precise level. Having achieved level allows staff to
recheck after completing grouting procedures. At that time, the
reliability staff must ascertain that no distortion of the
baseplates mounting surfaces has occurred due to grout
shrinkage. Allowing grout shrinkage may lead to potential
soft-foot alignment issues and, in some instances, resonant
The reliability engineers understanding of a clause in
API RP-686 stating never use nozzles for
alignment was correct. Experienced users know that nozzles are
not necessarily parallel to fluid machine and driver mounting
surfaces. Such out-of-parallelism may make it impossible to
achieve precise levels. If there is a lack of parallelism, it
prompts installers to use jackscrews and to apply undue force
to a baseplate. Result: Another risk will be
created. The pump and motor bases may, inadvertently, become
distorted, or the pump and motor casings may become slightly
twisted. Seals and bearings will no longer run absolutely
parallel, and the component life will suffer.
Not all design contractors are sufficiently familiar with
desirable features found in mechanical seals used in process
pumps. Again, the owner-purchaser may have to take the lead in
pointing out the desirability of dual seals with superior guide
baffle and tapered pumping ring designs as shown in
Fig. 2. Some old-style designs are often less
efficient and, ultimately, more expensive to maintain.
Three lessons are inescapable: 1) Not all EPC companies are
knowledgeable about pre-filled baseplates for small- and
mid-size process pumps, 2) Reliability focus includes much
attention to installation details and 3) Future maintenance cost avoidance requires
user/owner input.
Do not let a provider or installers tell you that they have
always done it that way. There are instances where
the installers have always done it wrong and where the
resulting repair frequency has kept an entire plant from ever
becoming a BOC performer. HP

I usually appreciate the insight of your articles. However, I don't appreciate your smear of those of us on the EPC side of the relationship. We don't show up for work every day trying to figure out how to best screw over our customers. We are professionals looking to provide the best designs that we can.The initial quality that leads to long term operational savings isn't free and unless the owner operator who puts a project out for bid considers the savings of long term reliability as a factor in the total cost of a project, then they are going to get what their EPC can afford to produce and still survive.Further, the example you give is way too late to achieve the desired objective. Reliability folks need to be in the loop at the beginning of the design effort when the EPC's proposed details for the project are offered to the client for comment and approval.I do agree that this is going to have to be driven by the owner's side as they are the ones best positioned to gather the intelligence on long term reliability and to disseminate it to the community. Those of us on the EPC side just don't get the opportunity to see what happens to a unit after we turn it over - the client is kicking us out the gate and closing the checkbook, and we're scrambling to move on to the next project and keep the lights on.

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.

My recommendation is to make a source package. Install build-essential, debhelper, dh-make. Change to the directory where the files you want to install are (the directory name must be of the form
Making a binary package directly
If you decide to make a binary package directly without building it from a source package, which is not really easier because there aren't as many tools to facilitate the process, you'll need some basic familiarity with the format of deb packages. It is described in the Debian Policy Manual, in particular ch. 3 (format of binary packages), ch. 5 (control files), ch. 6 (installation scripts) and appendix B (binary package manipulation).
You make sure that your package installs the expected files

Converting a binary package from a different format
If you already have a binary package from another distribution, you can use alien to convert it.
First off you need to create a build folder and an archive of your files:
Then in the build folder you must create a control file with some wanted informations:

I do a lot of packages, and to do a full one is not a trivial matter. On a positive note, files and scripts are much less work. You can create such a package, very simply, with a tool known as debreate.
Debreate is a really simple GUI, for just creating simple DEB packages. You can just specify which files, where they go, and if/what should execute on post/pre install/uninstall. I used to just do all my packages the standard way, but after I started using this tool, I will only go back when necessary.

Warm Water.................................... 1 oz
White Chocolate.............................. 4.5 oz
Marshmallows................................. 1 cup
Unsalted Butter............................... 3/4 stick
Rice Cereal..................................... 3 3/4 cup
Note: If you prefer, you can substitute part of the rice cereal (about 3/4 cup) for any type of nut you prefer. Simply roughly chop them and add them in along with the rice cereal. Walnuts in particular fit into this recipe very nicely.
Note: If you prefer a deeper Matcha flavor, you can increase the amount of Matcha and use two tablespoons instead of one.
Tip: When cutting the finished treats, soak your knife in some warm water and wipe dry in between cuts. It makes slicing pieces without sticking much easier!
- Dissolve the matcha in the warm water, making a paste.
- Roughly chop the chocolate.
- Add the butter and marshmallow to a pot on med-low heat and stir together with a wooden spoon until melted. Once they are completely melted together, take them off the heat and stir in the chocolate first and then the matcha.
- Add the rice cereal and mix well. Spread the mixture of rice cereal, marshmallows, and butter out on a baking sheet, smooth the surface with a rubber spatula, and place in the refrigerator to cool and harden.
- Once it is fully hardened, cut into pieces that are easy to eat. Dust with some matcha.

As per the rules, those doing the surprise attack start on hold. Does this mean they need to also win an agility test with the non surprised character with the highest initative to actually go first?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
All of the "surprising" characters may choose to go first, or choose to hold until after any other characters' action. They only need to make an opposed Agility test if they choose to interrupt a characters' action after it has started. An example of this is if an on-hold character wants to shoot the first opponent that draws a weapon, he doesn't know which opponent to target until after the opponent's turn starts.
As GM, you control the game. Just because Player B knows his card is immediately after Player A's doesn't mean your on-hold characters have to respect that.
This is the way I would play this.
A player on hold does not get a card and can act at any point. If they wanted to be first, the only time they would need the agility roll would be if the player with the highest card had an Ace of Spades as this is the highest possible card (barring a Joker - if this was the highest card then the card holder would get to go first without needing an agility roll). If the highest card was lower then there would be 'space' before then for the player on hold to go, without needing a roll.
The reason I do it this way is because this is the way going on hold and carrying your dealt card over from one round to the next works.

How can we remove the launcher that come with Unity on this new Ubuntu version ?
In simple words: you can't. By design, the launcher is intended to stay there always. If you want to give it up, the only way to do so is to give up the entire unity interface by switching to some other DE or by switching to the classic GNOME session.
Moving the launcher to some other edge of the screen is also not implemented and wouldn't be, as per Mark's comment on a bug.
In 12.04, you can go to System Settings > Appearance > Behavior and turn on autohide, then turn the sensitivity all the way down. Now the launcher will only show when you press Super.
*Disabling "Key to show launcher" may prevent you from accessing the dash. If you omit this part of step 5, you can access the dash, but the launcher will appear non-invasively while the dash is displayed. I don't know of any way to stop this.
Update: 12.04 does things differently, thus this may not work after 11.10.
You could do the following:
That should do the trick. You may need to execute
You can go back to the classic GNOME session as described in this answer.
in compiz i went to the unity section and then the experimental tab and set these values to simply 'fool' the bar into never appearing unless the super button is pressed. If I can get the dash to separate from the bar entirely and move it to Cairo dock i will be extremely satisfied. ...........anyway Experimental Tab
this way their is no hacking just a little easy tweaking and dash is still there and bar is only visible when hitting dash ...... i guess i could go remove all the launchers from it now and then it would hardly be noticeable.....cheers
you can also go in the config editor and change these values with greater range
In the file /usr/share/unity-2d/shell/Shell.qml, and can be edited with the command
The way to remove the remnant bar that was floating there was to set:
^Change the width to either 0 or 1, 1 will show 1 pixel, but will not produce graphic artifacts.
Is there a less hack-y way to do this?
The other file can be edited using
I am aware of the autohide feature in CCSM, however that is not what I am looking for. I wanted to place a separate launcher OVER unity, and the sensitivity of autohide would make it difficult to use both.
If you log out, insert your username you can then choose (at the bottom) to log into 'Ubuntu Classic'. That'll get you the old 2 panel style gnome.
at least, you can set it to "autohide", ccsm has an option for that
If you're using Unity 2d you just rename the file
Sure when you login, choose your name and when the password box comes up look at the bottom panel and select Ubuntu Classic.
You can disable the unity plugin in cssm and log out and in again, and it's gone. But before that perhaps add something like awn to your startup applications.
Use unity-2d-panel. It's installed by default. To see what that would feel like, press alt+f2 and run
You could change/disable the reveal mode of the launcher. This will not disable the launcher but then the only way of revealing the launcher will be to press the Super key.
To do this, complete steps 1-3 as mentioned by tobi. Now the settings for the reveal mode is displayed, and all you have to do is change the reveal mode.
If would you want gnome panels before disabling launcher;
Navigate to
And click
It's ok.
-Unity with gnome panels
Press SUPER key and type
than press ENTER.
Disable unity plugin from Compiz Config window (uncheck click box)
Logout & Login to Ubuntu session
Use Unity Tweak tool and set the launcher to autohide and then take the reveal sensitivity to the lowest setting, and the unity launcher will only appear when you press super.
By design the Unity Launcher cannot be removed, if you want it gone completely then you can try other desktop environments such as GNOME, Xfce or KDE.
Did you try to hide the Unity Launcher at all? Install Compiz Config Manager (ccsm), run it, and go to Unity Plugin, then open the Advanced Tab (if I remember that correctly -- the last one), and there should be an option to hide the launcher completely. I presume that the Windows-button functionality should still work with dash completely hidden. However, I cannot guarantee this completely removes the launcher, it might, probably, show up when you do something...
I know this is more than a year layer, but I still wanted to give my answer: Install Compiz-Config-Settings-Manager, open it up, DISABLE Unity Plugin completely, install GnoMenu or Cardapio, or any of the other search utilities available as plugins for cairo-dock, and there you go!
Also, instead of trying to fix Gnome, another alternative is KDE. Install kubuntu-desktop from the software center and you won't regret it.

Short links for June 17th, 2011
Some interesting things I found recently:
# Muze by Joshua Maruska and Adam Kumpf
Muze is an Arduino instrumentalist who creates melodies that evolve over time.
Muze has a palette of notes that it can in-turn interpret and compose into various rhythms and phrases that are strung together to form something musical. The user can then influence these strings of notes and rhythms to create entirely new compositions. Much like you would a tune a radio to get a new song, Muze can be tuned to provide new and different melodies.
In the interest of keeping Muze from becoming another knob laden techno-fest of an instrument, interaction has been limited to just one input.
# The Stretta Procedure: vcvi maxforlive
Matthew Davidson's vcvi is a suite of maxforlive devices to control your modular synth with a dc coupled audio interface.
# Rainlith 2 – Kinectic sound art piece via CDM
On Rainlith, the primitive naturally granular sound of a big rainstick gets explored in real-time by cyber-age sound manipulation tools.
It's an interactive piece in witch the movement of the audience's body activates an electric motor, making a reflex movement on the structure that embraces the instrument.
The sound of the rainstick is captured and processed in realtime, and sent 24 meters above, filling the empty space of a old industrial cereal container. The reverberated acoustic mix is then received back by the audience in the spot right below the opening of the container.
NeuronDrum is a sample based rhythm composer by Poul Vestergaard.
It has 512 audio samples 32MB. Most of the sounds are made for electronica music. All rhythms is made of a neuron based approach with 8 neurons.
The first neuron works as a kind off metronome. All neuron can send impulses to each other. Every neuron has a threshold value. If the threshold is 3 then it will need 4 impuses to fire the sample, and send impulses to other neurons.
# Les Paul Google Doodle Gives Us… Google Homepage, The Song, by Tim Exile
Peter Kirn writes:
Electronic musician, vocalist, and inventor Tim Exile is back; while the Google Doodle today of an interactive Les Paul inspired lots of people to invest some time fiddling and hacking, in Tim's case, it inspired a whole song. And, to my knowledge, it's the first time the homepage of Google got its own ode.

Tagliabue: NFL Was Right on Saints—Sort Of
The monthslong conflict between the National Football League and New Orleans Saints players accused of running a bounty scheme appears over after former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue (above), who was put in charge of the appeals process, vacated all player punishments on Tuesday.
It was a victory for the players, but not necessarily the team. Tagliabue found the Saints guilty of "broad organizational misconduct." The Saints declined to comment.
Tagliabue said he agreed with the factual findings of the NFL's investigation and said individual players acted in ways that could have justified fines for what the NFL called an intent-to-injure program with cash incentives. That punishment, he said, would have been more in line with league discipline in past, similar situations.
But Saints Jonathan Vilma (below), Scott Fujita, Anthony Hargrove and Will Smith—never were fined by the league. They were suspended.
More on the Saints
The NFL said it respects Tagliabue's decision and that the rulings have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program. Current NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appointed the now-retired Tagliabue to rule on the case as a neutral observer. Tagliabue mentioned in a 22-page ruling that after three years of investigation and "intense acrimony" that he felt it was best to resolve the matter completely.
One thing the ruling likely won't limit is Goodell's power to rule. Tagliabue mentioned in his ruling that there are "vital reasons" why the commissioner has had "exclusive and broad authority" in each modern collective bargaining agreement.
Coach Sean Payton remains suspended for this season. Joe Vitt, who was suspended for the first six weeks of this season for his involvement in the scheme, is the Saints' acting head coach. An attorney for Vilma said in a statement that Vilma will push ahead with his defamation lawsuit against Goodell.

Simon Aldous, Microsoft's U.K. partner group manager, is in hot water for some ill-advised statements in an interview published yesterday by PCR. The gist? Microsoft's heralded Windows 7 operating system was more than a little inspired by the Mac OS.
Users call Apple's operating system "fantastic" and "easy to use," said Aldous. "What we've tried to do with Windows 7 -- whether it's traditional format or in a touch format -- is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics."

MANHATTAN, Kan. –Seven KSU students are completing a three-week summer intersession course, Environmental Leadership, at Sunset Zoo this week by engaging in hands-on service-learning. The undergraduates are constructing a portion of the outdoor Nature Play Space that is part of the new Nature Exploration Center at the Zoo's entryway. The play space features a rain garden and eco-friendly playground equipment aimed at teaching youth ways to address water resource issues.
Robin Kleine, KSU senior in Agricultural Communications & Journalism and Animal Sciences & Industry with a minor in Leadership Studies said, "The class helped me think of simple and environmentally friendly ways to improve my living spaces while gaining awareness of water quality issues facing Kansas residents. It was a great team building experience and exciting to see the project come together."
The project is a collaboration between K-State's Center for Engagement and Community Development, School of Leadership Studies (SLS), Department of Communications & Agricultural Education, Research & Extension's Kansas Environmental Leadership Program (KELP) and Manhattan's Sunset Zoo. The project is funded through a $114,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture and inspired by KELP.
K-State's Dr. Lauri Baker, Agricultural Communications; Lori Kniffin, SLS; and Brandi Nelson, KELP, are working with Zoo staff to instruct the students. Through the course, students are learning about local environmental issues and practicing the leadership skills needed to address these issues through a service-learning project. During the first week, students were in the classroom learning a variety of topics including: leadership theory, public advocacy, environmental law and water issues. The last two weeks of the course have been spent at the Zoo working on the play space. On the final day students will present their reflections on the experience.
The Nature Play Space is part of the Zoo's new entryway and education facility, the Nature Exploration Center, and will be utilized primarily on weekdays in conjunction with the Center's Early Childhood Classroom. This space will greatly enhance the Zoo's education programming that works to inspire a passion for a nature at an early age.
The public can view the Nature Play Space during the Public Grand Opening of the Nature Exploration Center on Sunday, June 3 from Noon – 4:30pm. The play space will initially be open in conjunction with the Zoo's early childhood programs. Zoo staff are currently working to identify additional times the public will have access to the new space.

I'm convinced that water waves for example:
are a combination of longitudinal and transverse. Any references or proofs of this or otherwise?
I'm convinced that water waves for example:
are a combination of longitudinal and transverse. Any references or proofs of this or otherwise?
Each point is moving according to:
With $x_0,y_0$ -- "motion centre" for each particle, $a$ -- the amplitude, $l$ -- decay length with depth.
So you have exact "circular" superposition of longitudinal and transverse waves.
In deep waters, the fluid particles describe circles when a wave passes by. So, in a sense, these waves are neither transverse nor longitidinal. For a demonstration, see for example Howard Georgi's book (chapter 11).
In very shallow waters the particles go essentially back and forth. In the intermediate cases they follow eliptical trajectories.
The ocean waves are usually called "surface" waves. Whatever a particle trajectory is, the deeper in water, the smaller its amplitude. Several lengths below surface the water is still.
However deep inside there may be volume waves - from submarines, for example. They are detectable.
I think the wave nature of water is both transverse and longitudinal. When we drop a stone in water that we can see there the transverse waves but then we can heard sound also, so, water waves are transverse as well as longitudinal waves!
I will just say what I think I know:
Near the shore the waves become also longitudinal: the small distance from the the surface to the bottom of ocean make the difference.

Among the diverse feelings of Star Wars fans, I am someone who is a fan of the overall saga, including all 6 films. I like the Original Trilogy better than the prequels and recognize much that is wrong with the newer films, but overall I enjoy watching them and think they are a positive edition to the overall saga. The prequels deliver a great story that is integral to the Galaxy Far, Far Away and that really makes the Original Trilogy movies more enjoyable by filling in the back story leading up to the second half of the saga.
That being said, among all six movies, Episode II was my least favorite. I still watch it when I (often) decide to go back through and watch the movies… it's not like I have written it off completely, but it IS my least favorite. I think that in the end, while Episode II has some GREAT moments, it also has just as many HORRIBLE moments. For every adrenaline-pumping second of Yoda fighting, there's a cringe-inducing second of Anakin and Padme's awkward courtship. I used to say that Episode II was worth it for the exciting parts and for the actual plot progression it had, but lately I am beginning to think that The Clone Wars might be even MORE important to the saga than Episode II.

I understand how spin is defined in analogy with orbital angular momentum. But why must electron spin have magnetic quantum numbers $m_s=\pm \frac{1}{2}$ ? Sure, it has to have two values in accordance with the Stern-Gerlach experiment, but why precisely those values?
I don't know if this is what OP is really asking(v1), but it is a remarkable fact in representation theory, that it is possible to deduce just from the assumptions that
$$ {\rm the~eigenvalues}~\hbar m_s~{\rm of~the~spin~operator}~\hat{S}_z\qquad\qquad (B) $$
can only be one out of the following two alternatives:
Of course, the second alternative is not relevant for electrons, which have spin $s=\frac{1}{2}$.
For a proof using ladder operators, see e.g. section 5 of 't Hooft's lecture notes. The pdf file is available here.
To summarize the logic, once we have adapted the scaling convention of (A) and (B), there is no ambiguity left in what we mean by the variable $m_s$. Once we agree on the meaning of $m_s$, we can have a meaningful discussion of the possible values of $m_s$. We next use representation theory to conclude that the values of $m_s$ are half integers. Similarly, the definition of the spins $s\geq 0$ are not arbitrary, but scaled in such a way that $\hbar^2s(s+1)$ become the eigenvalues for the Casimir operator $\hat{S}^2$.

I was interested in learning German through YouTube videos in German with English subtitles. Is there any way to do this through YouTube, Google or any other software?
migrated from superuser.com Aug 29 '12 at 12:08
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
I don't think it is possible to search for videos with English captions only, but you can filter the search results to videos with subtitles by searching YouTube for the video you want to find, and then, from the search results page, open
You'll still have to make sure that the video you want to watch includes English captions, but usually when a video includes captions, English is available.
For more information: YouTube - About Captions and Subtitles.
The English cc (closed captions) are not yet very good on YouTube. They use voice recognition and are generated on-the-fly. What we want is what YouTube calls "annotations." I have found that I can find movies with subtitles (annotations) by including the word "subtitle" in my search. For instance, a search on "Disney subtitle" will result in about 24,400 results. You'll need to refine your search because not all of the subtitles are English subtitles.
You can use Amara:
Search for subtitles by language on the left.
You can use readsong; www.readsong.com

30 Rock, we hardly knew ye
By Matthew Singer 02/07/2013
Last week, Liz Lemon went gently into that good night. After seven years, NBC pushed 30 Rock off the air, with an abbreviated season and a finale that, for those of us who lost track of the show a while ago, felt awfully anticlimactic; I hardly even knew it was happening until a day before the last episode aired. For a series that racked up more awards and critical acclaim than just about any other network sitcom of the last decade, it was a rather inauspicious end. But then, perhaps that should've been expected: I can't think of another program for which the gulf between its accolades and its ratings has been quite so famously large.
It can't be honestly said that 30 Rock met a premature demise. In the last two or three seasons, the show had grown so meta and self-referential, it started to become a snake choking on its own tail. As with The Simpsons, it continued to show occasional flashes of brilliance, but it started running out of gas around 2009, and in all truth probably concluded a year too late. But the fact that it disappeared with seemingly little fanfare — aside from blogs and Twitter, which tried valiantly to imbue the finale with grand cultural significance — shows us that, when it comes to televised comedy, we live in a deeply divided country.
It's only going to get worse. In the next year, it's entirely possible that both Community and Parks and Rec — two other shows with cults so devoted you'd think they were actually popular — are going to be canceled, and the vast majority of the country, too busy watching DVR'd Two and a Half Men episodes, won't even notice. And just wait until the Arrested Development movie comes out and bombs at the box office, to the bewilderment of the small section of the population who will treat it as the greatest cultural event of whatever year it happens to get released.
Observers often talk about how the Internet has homogenized the planet into a monoculture. That's clearly not true. And I'm glad it's not. Because 30 Rock and Community and Parks and Rec are on a major network, and win Emmys and adulation from critics, there's an assumption that those are the shows everyone is watching. But they turn out to be the shows that no one is watching, and that are struggling to stay afloat. And that makes me appreciate them even more. A part of me — the part left over from my idealist punk youth — still distrusts mainstream groupthink. I tend to value the things the majority often rejects, and though it's a bit selfish, I enjoy having that validated, even if it means shows I cherish become martyrs. Besides, look at what popularity gets you: Maybe 30 Rock was a bit past its prime, but it died with greater dignity than The Simpsons and The Office have been allowed, kept alive only because of their ratings. As someone once said, it's better to burn out than fade away, and that's true, even on television.
