Attendee list - I've modified the attendee list for the registration site. I've included your run group information. I'll be shifting drivers around to maximize our track time, so drivers and groups are not necessarily set in stone but it'll give you a rough idea what the field will look like.
Additional dates available
Registration is now open for the remaining OTD dates:

• August 25
• October 13th
Dixie Highway Construction
Dixie highway is under construction where it intersects Waterford Road. You might want to avoid the delays by taking Sashabaw to Pelton road. Make sure you keep the noise and speeds down if you take this route. It's a residential zone and we want to keep our neighbors happy!
Time Attack/Time Trial Group
Rules have been approved and this group is set to debut during Race 3 weekend! I'm inviting anyone interested in competing in this group to join us during the lunch break to get a preview and to discuss how this is going to work. This is a custom tailored race group for Open Track/HPDE enthusiasts. Bracket racing on a Road Track!
Lots of Novices and first time drivers need your help! Think back to your first time on the track. If you've run blue group or green group in the past, you've got the experience we need to pass on. Let me know if you can help!
Novice Group (HPDE-1)
We have a great turn out of novice drivers. For many of you this will be the first time on a road course. Here are a few things you will learn at the driver's meeting. Take a few minutes and review the info below:
• Corner Marshals - these are the wonderful volunteers at the various stations on the track that work to keep you safe. They are out there in rain or shine (and even snow a few times!) Typically they are wearing all white, so they are easy to spot on and off the track. It's hard to hear them at full speed on the track, so they use some basic flags and hand signals to communicate with you. Always acknowledge them when they are signaling you with a nod of your head or hand gesture when safe to do so. Also make sure you thank them-We could not have this event without them!
• Flags - These are the basic flags you will need to know while you are on track. When they are displayed they are applicable from that point to the next manned station on the track.
- ○ Standing Yellow - Something has happened ahead of you. Be alert and ready for an emergency maneuver. This flag is also displayed on your first lap at each manned station so you know where the Corner Marshals are.
- ○ Waving Yellow - If you see a Corner Marshal waving the yellow flag there is something ahead of you that is on or blocking the track. Blockage could be anywhere from 1-100% possibly requiring you to evade. This could be a spun car, multiple cars, or even a corner worker. When you see this you need to ease up on the accelerator and PAY ATTENTION.
- ○ Red - This flag means there has been a serious incident. All vehicles on track are to pull over to the side of the track within eyesight of a manned station and come to a safe stop (don't slam on the brakes - we don't want you to become an incident as well!) This is so an emergency vehicle can get by you safely. You will remain there until the Corner Marshal gives you direction.
- ○ Black - When you see this flag displayed to all drivers, we need everyone off of the track. Slowly reduce speed to a reasonable pace and return to pit lane. If this flag is displayed only to you, something might be wrong with your car, you might be doing something wrong, or maybe your driving skills are so awesome, we want to give you a medal! In any case, acknowledge the Marshall, maintain your pace and return to pit lane. If it's just you, you'll be directed by someone near the starter's stand to the penalty box for your reward.
- ○ Yellow and RED striped - This is the Surface Flag. It means something is on the track that will reduce your grip if you encounter it. This could be Oil or other fluids spilled by another car, or wildlife - we have had everything from a turtle to deer decide that the track was the place to be during a session. Best advice is to slow down a little until you see what all the fuss is about.
- ○ Blue with a Yellow stripe - This is telling you that there is a faster driver coming up on you, or that wants to get by. Please allow the driver pass you in the next approved passing zone for your run group. For those with high horsepower cars, have some consideration for the lower horsepower cars. They will not be able to take you on a straight, but many can easily catch up to you in the turns where you will hold them up. Be considerate. If you know you are holding someone up, you do not need to wait for a flag. Let them by so they can enjoy the ride!
- ○ Checkered Flag - You've won! Well… not actually. But by the time you see this flag, you will probably feel like a winner! This means your session is over. When you see this flag, acknowledge the starter with a nod or wave, slow to a reasonable pace and take your cool down lap to let your brakes and engine drop to a more normal temperature. Don't forget when you get back to your paddock spot… DO NOT SET YOUR EMERGENCY BRAKE! We've seen the rotors warp and pads stick because the assembly is HOT. Set your car in gear and throw a wheel block down to keep it from rolling.
Solo Drivers
A few tips for those of you joining us from the SCCA Solo program:
• Driving styles on road tracks differ slightly from Solo - aggressive application of the brakes and accelerator can get you into trouble. The key to good lap times on a road course is to be smooth. Take a look at an online guide for road track driving: Race Driving Techniques
• Tire pressures - Using the same tire pressure settings you use in Solo will quickly tear up a set of tires on a road track. Your car will be running significantly longer than a solo event. Start your tire pressures near your normally recommended driving settings. Make only minor adjustments between runs (no more than 2psi) to figure out your ideal settings. I learned this the hard way and have a barely used set of overheated, chunked out tires to prove it!

I think this may be more of a programming question, but since it directly relates to MySQL, I wanted to ask it here.
Some background: I am running an application whereby users can take tests using data from two tables: questions and answers. Each response from every test is recorded in a test_data table. Now, over time, I will have questions that were either put in wrong, or are no longer relavant. How would I go about keeping that data somewhere in the database so that I maintain referential integrity?
I seem to remember using an application in the past that had an "archive" table with a few columns:
id type (describes what data is archived in this row) data (serialized PHP array) etc...
This could be considered a subjective question, yes. But what I'm looking for here are some possibilities that I can use to build an archiving system with in MySQL.
Thanks in advance :)

I just bought Planetside 2, but when I join a server, the textures are really bad. The weapons looks like something that isn't rendered, and the ground is pixellated. As I said, it looks like the game isn't rendering. But some of the thing looks okay from a distance.
When I select high graphics, it doesn't change anything, and I know I have to restart the game. It's lagging very badly, but I can run battlefield perfect without any problems, so it's not my PC.
My friend can run it perfect and the game looks amazing on his PC, and it's not laggy. His computer is only a little better then mine.
My PC specs:
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
- AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.00GHz
- 4 GB RAM (3.25 GB usable)

Bag of crap is back as normal.
You didn't need social networking like Facebook to get it this time.
If you were monitoring the Sellout.woot woot-off, there was a bag of crap offered for about 8 seconds before it sold out. There were some fast people that got it..
Since it says you can only have one this week, I suspect it might come back randomly throughout the woot-off.
Good luck everyone
6 Answers answer
It was in my cart - my first and only chance ever at getting a bucket of cats...then it just sat there, and POOF it was gone. I'll never win at woot. I am old and slow, cannot compete with the young and fast.
@hot72chev: Well, you were better than me. I didn't even get one in my cart. By the time I heard the alarm and I refreshed the page, it was already gone.
Woot used to publish how many of each item sold after it sold out. Since they no longer do this, I wonder how many BOC's were offered and sold. Was it just one? Who knows?
@cengland0: I saw several people (3 or 4) over in the Selllout Community section claiming to have gotten one. It couldn't have been many.
I really thought I had one this time....sad.
Congrats to those lucky enough to score. I haven't been paying as much attention as I would like to teh sellot woot-off due to work getting in the way of play.
@natedogg828: Stupid WORK!!!
Stupid work, indeed. I'm probably at my desk 95% of the time and this comes up in that 5% window I'm not. I wouldn't get your hopes up for another one this woot-off. That text that says you're limited to 1 this week is just the standard BOC write-up they've used before.

My dwarves have suddenly stopped working... to the tune of 30-40 idlers. I feel like I've got plenty of tasks, but obviously not enough. What's some good busywork I can set my dwarves to doing.
First, make sure your dwarves' labor preferences allow them to work those jobs.
Second, make sure you have the tools for those jobs. (It's hard to chop trees without an axe)
Third, make sure your lazy dwarves aren't new immigrants. (New immigrants are lazy)
If after all that, you still need busywork, some good busy work includes:
Long-term projects to utilize your work force might include:
In addition to what @Arkive posted, I also like to fiddle with my stockpile management pretty closely, which can queue up quite a few hauling jobs pretty quickly.

I'm trying to use TextEditorPane's clean/dirty functionality in my application.
In order to do this I've had to write my own outputStream so that I can use TextEditorPane.save(). The 'file' I am editing is being accessed via a proprietary API not a local file or even something well understood like FTP.
The problem I am encountering is that when I call save() and the save fails the TextEditorPane is still marking itself clean. What do I have to do so that it understands that the save failed? I have caused my output stream's flush() method to throw an IOException and TextEditorPane still marks itself as clean after the save()

Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.
Is there any significance to the number 153? Or was it counted simply to quantify the miraculous catch?
Is there any significance to the number 153? Or was it counted simply to quantify the miraculous catch?
Short Answer: Many have come up with various numerological interpretations of the number 153 in John. I believe this to be reading into the text things not intended by the author.
As the two previous answers to this questions illustrate well, this numerological method allows for several different interpretations of the same passage. Each of the words in the Bible, both Greek and Hebrew, adds up to a number. It is no wonder that of these over 10000 words (most with several different tenses/forms), one can use arithmetic to derive one word/number from other words/numbers as one sees fit, and read meanings into it.
To illustrate my point, here are some other numerological interpretations of 153:
As D. A. Carson observes,1
I agree: this event made such a lasting impression on John, that he remembered the exact number of fish they picked up. Just as he remembered the name of Malchus, whose ear Peter severed. I read no more into 153 fish, than I do into the 2000 donkeys in 1 Chr 5:21.
1 D.A. Carson, The Gospel according to John (Pillar NT Commentary; Eerdmans, 1990), p. 672.
While some have argued for some kind of symbolism in the number shown here, there is no direct support from the text. The notes from the Net Bible indicate the following direct implications:
Given John's background as a fisherman, details like this would probably have been natural observations.
As far as I can find out, this is the only time "153" appears in the Bible. I searched through some of the apocryphal books too.
Here's a wiki page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/153_(number)#In_the_Bible
I don't really care for all the square-root-of-the-triangular-circle-number woowoo stuff, but the fact that
Is interesting.
Some of the previous thoughts on numerological interpretations are very good ones; as someone else has said "there is no direct support from the text". I believe there are numerous times in Scripture where certain numbers are used symbolically, to emphasize, and those include 10's, 12's, 100's, and 1000's being used in calculations.
At this point in John's last chapter, Jesus having died at the calculated age of 33, the new 12 need to take over for him, with Simon Peter leading.
Within a few verses is John 21:15-17
I think the 153 might symbolize the total of 120 (12, just 10 times) with Jesus' 33 added.
153 represents all teh types of fishes in the Tiberious at that time. It simply means if you consciously fish you an catch all types of fishes. Or christianity will be able to accomodate all types of people and still it can stay un-broken.
Jesus was having breakfast with seven disciples, soon to be apostles who were among the only eleven men told that they would be the ones to get the ball rolling prior to Jesus's ascension. Why 153? There is only one other place where that exact number is used, 2 Kings 1. Three sets of fifty and their captains of fifty. 153 exactly. I believe Jesus pointed to that part of the Scriptures to basically "dump" the disciples at the place where they should begin to fulfill their commission; a place that surrounds them in "before" and "after" chaisms between Elijah and Elisha, the center of the huge chain or chaistic structure being 2 Kings 2:11, something easy to miss but incredibly important; "as they were walking along and talking together..."
The contrast between Elijah and Elisha are quite stunning. Elijah was a prophet of God's judgments against the northern kingdom. Except for the Gentile widow's son's resurrection, Elijah was an instrument God used to execute judgment or deliver bad news prophesies to kings, mostly to Ahab; the very last being the Ahaziah death episode in 2 Kings 2. Two sets of 51 were judged, but the last set were shown mercy; 153; two judgments and one act of mercy; the hairy guy WENT DOWN with the last set of 51 to prophesy to Ahaziah that a dirt nap was in his immediate future.
That's where I think Jesus sent the disciples, specifically to that location in Scripture. The very next chapter after the untypical act Elijah performed (mercy) begins the "this is how you do it now" contrast between the law, obedience to it and judgment (Elijah and the old way) and continual demonstrations of undeserved grace to mere, scant demonstrations of others' faith (Elisha and the new way).
And look at how the new way began, right off the bat at Jericho. Salt (covenant) in a NEW bowl, hint, hint thrown into the source of cursed water makes the water pure. Isn't that what we have now in this age? A new covenant, a new age or as Paul says in Ephesians, a dispensation of grace.
As the life of Elisha is followed, more and more examples of grace are demonstrated (axe head floating, poisoned pot fixed, Naaman, the barren woman plus her son's resurrection, resurrection of the enemy soldier who simply touched Elisha's bones); all very different than Elijah.
Anyway, that's just a tiny example of why I believe Jesus used that number specifically. The disciples, especially the seven (and most certainly three of the seven) met intimately with Jesus shortly before His ascension and session. Although it isn't mentioned in John, I would imagine there was a pregnant, "So now what do we do Lord?" And like Jesus, he makes you think it out for yourself like He did so many times throughout the gospels. "153 fish? Hmmm, I wonder why that exact number popped out of the net? I wonder if that number means anything to the only eleven people in the world who were told to make disciples? Hmm, I wonder. I wonder if Jesus is trying to tell us something and where would we find what He is trying to tell us? Where else is that exact number, if at all, is used in the Septuagint?" Well, I wondered for years myself and by studying and looping 1 Samuel through Esther in my GoBible for almost three years during my daily workouts, I think that's why 153 is significant. The new covenant is illustrated and contrasted between Elijah and Elisha in that part of the Scriptures and the seven disciples (and we now) need to know and understand the differences.
Peter was not yet reconciled with Jesus. He was fishing in the dark (requiring grace), naked (sin exposed) and on the left side (in the flesh) ... all not good signs.
Jesus asks if they have meat, an invitation to a meat offering, which is a fellowship offering. He is offering reconciliation to Peter.
Jesus always served bread and fish.[1] The bread is his body, on the cross.[2] And since "man does not live by bread alone",[3] the fish represent "every word which proceeds from the mouth of God."
Peter was instructed to feed the sheep. What was he to feed them? Jesus had Peter alone pull the 153 fish to shore, when all the other disciples together couldn't handle the net. Peter was to feed the sheep "every word which proceeds from the mouth of God".
So why 153? It is a fellowship meal. 144 is for the dual-natured bride of Christ (Israel and the church). The remaining 9 are for the fellowship of the persons of the Godhead with each other. 144 + 3x3 = 153. Each person of the Godhead is fully God as represented by 3.
This was the third appearance of Jesus after the resurrection to the disciples. The first one he was heard, the second he was seen (examined his scars), and the third one he walked with Peter down the beach. This is the same hearing, seeing walking theme we see so often.
[1] Mt 14:17, Mt 15:34
[2] Mr 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

Having reached my seventh birthday last month, I am thinking about making the third biggest physical and psyhological move of my life. At 17 I ventured off from a suburb of New York City to college in Michigan in 1961. Then I moved to my late wife, Betty's, hometown of Middleboro to be a cranberry grower in 1992.
The first move didn't take much consideration. With my mediocre high school grades, being accepted on probation at Michigan State University based on my Merit Scholarship exam was a happy surprise. My mother had lamented not just my poor study habits in high school, but my absolute absence of any studying at all. When she worried that I'd never get accepted into college, I'd just tell her I'd join the Air Force and become a pilot. I shudder to think of Captain Brown, flying forays 30,000 feet over Vietnam at the controls of a B-52.
The next move, here to Masshausttes, seemed right at the time. Betty, who I met in graduate school at Michigan State, and I were bored with our jobs. After earning her PhD in English she'd become a librarian. I ended up as the director of a community mental health center. Finally the yen for a big change grew, and the "back to the land" lure of becoming third generation cranberry growers was irresistible.
We had a good 20 years here in Middleboro, each practicing our chosen profession - me a psychotherapist, and she the town reference librarian; with the enjoyable "sideline" of growing cranberries in our 300 acre "backyard."
Then in 2010 my wife died at the age of 65 .
For four years I�ve lived the lonely widower�s life, with my grief debilitating for at least a year and gradually diminishing after that. I continued to live �in the unique post and beam house which my wife and I helped design. it overlooks the cranberry bogs which my wife and I farmed. It has 18 large south facing windows offering a beautiful view.�But but a house does not make a home.
I ended up with only one close friend left after our old couple friends fell out of my life. With no children, there's really nothing to keep me from moving on one last time. I love New England, but every place I go reminds me of good times with Betty, and I have come to the conclusion I won't be really happy here even if I meet another woman to share my life with.
Here are some �thoughts about what I�m considering.
A dear female friend, a woman who worked for me decades ago, and who along with her (now divorced) husband became close couple friends with Betty and I, has been trying to persuade me to move to a continuing care retirement community facility. For two years she's extolled the many benefits of living in a community of like mind people, and aging alongside them.
She has worked there as the counselor for 17 years and become a true gerontologist and a wise philosopher. She plans to retire there herself in as little as six months.
Until recently I�d been very reluctant to consider such a living style change for myself. I never saw myself fitting into any kind of retirement community. I figured Betty and I would just grow old together and find enjoyable things to do as a couple or with a few married friends.
This facility is one of those places where you move in, pay a hefty membership fee, and a monthly fee which covers just about every need you could have after that. You usually live independently at first. I'd live in a house detached from the sprawling up to (apron.) seven story high complex which has a gym, swimming pool, fitness center, grocery store, bank, post office, medical office, and other amenities.
Then, if needs be, I can move to more and more assisted living, up to and including a health center which is pretty much like a nursing home.
There are facilities like this around the country including some south of Boston and on Cape Cod. However, with no family and few friends here, I don�t feel any ties to New England. Moving also involves a ending a long and painful phase in my grief process.
I�ve visited my friend several times before, and seen the facility and experienced what rainy Portland, and the rugged Pacific coast, is like.
I like that Oregon is politically progressive and that assisted suicide is legal there as is medical marijuana. Should I decide to become a geriatric pot-head, recreational marijuana is legal a short drive away in Washington.
This time I have finally decided to visit her and learn more about what it would be life to live there. I will spend a couple of nights at the facility as an official prospective resident. Their marketing person will be taking me around, showing me available pet friendly �units, and having me dine with people they think I'd like, and vice versa.
Then if I am seriously considering it, I will have a nitty gritty huber crunching sessions with their financial director.
All of this comes to the foreground having just turned 70, a �birthday I didn't anticipate as having any emotional impact. However, it has. I feel now it is a countdown to being 80, with each year slipping by quickly, and then one morning waking up and looking in the mirror as seeing a really elder face looking back at me.
I see that making such a huge change is a recognition very deep down inside Betty is gone forever, and that this part of my life can never be approximated. I told my friend in Oregon that that I never developed roots, plural, in Massachusetts. I had one root, a very deep one, and that was Betty.
I now feel I must construct something entirely new for my final years.
This move, of I make it, is part of the reluctant acceptance of my own mortality. I will never know when something is going to happen to me physically or mentally that leads me to deteriorate very quickly. After all, I lost my wife of 40 years when she was only 65.
I could have five good years, 10 good years, maybe even more. I could be a spry geezer at 85. Or not.
Another important, and really vital realization I�ve come to is that I feel is that I can do quite well not having a woman lover in my life. Lord knows, I've given the online dating scene a chance, and discovered that I just can't shake this deep desire to find somebody very much like my wife. For those who knew her, you�d know how unlikely that is.
So if that is the way it's going to be, that is the way it's going to be.
There's already a blogger reporting from Malawi. I could end up as your northwest correspondent.

#Summify Growing in Europe and A Canadian Visa Push – News Roundup
Top-10 European Countries ranked by web traffic on Summify
(percentages represent each country's portion of the top-10 traffic)
European Traffic Highlights – July to September, 2011
It's been an expansive three months for Summify traffic over in Europe and we've been noticing un poco más de español in our HootSuite search streams. In just three months, the Spaniards have risen up from sixth place to third in Summify's European Top-10 Traffic List and we have sneaking suspicion that it could be a love affair with our new like button.
Not ready to fall back, France and the UK continue to dominate Summify's European traffic, holding the first and second spots respectively. Although not displayed above, France's absolute traffic doubled from August to September – a little je ne sais quoi?
Last, but certainly not least, Russia nudges Switzerland aside and breaks through into the 10th spot on our European traffic list, thanks to our comrades @ru_lh (Lifehacker.ru).
Take a look at what the Europeans are saying, as happy Summifyers continue spreading the word about Summify across the continent:
Mashable.fr – 32 billion daily publications in 30 months on Facebook?
Roughly translated from French
A few months ago, Mark Zuckerberg was asked, about a new Moore's Law: every year, Facebook users share twice as much as the previous year ("Every year, we are sharing Twice the Amount That we shared a year Before").
The 2010 data indicated that the current 2 billion daily publications could double in 2011. This gives it a staggering 32 billion items published in Facebook every day in 2014 …
Is this possible or are we being played to be afraid? Considering that Africa and Asia are potential markets … What is certain is that by 2014 there will be at least this amount of daily publications all over the Net. Without a doubt.
Social Sharing and the Impending Sharepocalypse [INFOGRAPHIC]
Lifehacker.ru – Summify: read only the most interesting
Roughly translated from Russian
"Immediately after your registration, Summify takes about 2 hours to generate your first summary. During this time, Summify examines content sources and builds links between them. According to my observations the first summary is not the best or relevant. But each time the service starts to amaze me more and more. Even when generating a summary 4 times/day, summify miraculously picked up the posts and tweets that I would not have found myself in a heap of rubbish, and that definitely interested me.
Ironically, it turned out that the service works fine with Russian articles, tweets, and in general with any Russian-language content."
SmartBlog.es – Create summaries of social networking feeds with Summify
Translated from Spanish
Fully integrated with Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader, you can easily publish the news you've found that is most interesting to you. In addition to these options for sharing, Summify's iPhone app offers you the possibility to send the link by email or save it to Instapaper for later reading .
Finally, another interesting feature of Summify is its ability to track the reactions people have had to the content that is included in your summary of the press. With this quick and intuitive orderly feature you will know how many people have RT'd an article, how many people have clicked "Like" on Facebook and you can read the comments people made when they shared the article on Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks to all these features I think Summify will be a program that I'm going to use often because of the orderly way it tracks all the social network feeds without having to check the individual applications or websites, thus saving time.
K-tuin – Summify for iPhone, a summary of the news 2.0
Translated from Spanish
Thanks to the Summify iPhone application I will find a summary of the news shared on Twitter, Facebook or Google Reader from the last few hours. You can set how often you want the application to compile the news shared on your social networks. It is very easy to not spend too much time looking for the most commented on stuff in the 2.0 world, as you can see the reactions from your contacts and friends right on the news story.
Pushing For A Canadian Startup Visa
The Globe and Mail – Immigrant tech stars face hurdles in quest to start business in Canada
"[Canada] will not remain a global superpower if we continue to close our doors to people who want to come here to work hard, start businesses and pursue the American dream," Mr. Bloomberg said in June. "Today, we may have turned away the next Albert Einstein or Sergey Brin."
It's a high-risk, high-reward path. For every Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, there are a few thousand unknown failures. Mr. Pasoi and Mr. Strat are being assisted by Vancouver's Bootup Labs, which describes itself as a "startup accelerator."
"We've tried explaining to Immigration that we're not here to steal jobs. If we wanted, we could work for established companies. But our dream is to build a startup," Mr. Pasoi said. "We're trying to make a company and hire people in Canada but it's difficult."
Vancouver Sun – Tech sector calls for 'startup visa' program
A British Columbia-based advocacy group, which has backing from some prominent Vancouver tech investors, is urging the government to make it easier for immigrants with science and technology skills to move here and create new businesses.
They recommend that the rules be modified to require a prospective business operator to have $150,000 [from $300,000] in seed capital from qualified venture capitalists, and be actively managing the company. He or she must also create at least three local full-time equivalent jobs over two years.
The current Canadian rules aren't keeping pace with the rapid emergence of start up companies internationally in the tech sector, nor the relative youth of those involved with them, nor the risk that such entrepreneurs are increasingly sought after around the world.
As the struggle for our founders' visas continues, we're going full steam ahead. Expect many more updates as Summify continues to fight content chaos and grow around the world – we're not going anywhere, we're going everywhere.

Let $M$ be Riemannian manifold and $S\subset M$ a minimal submanifold, with $\dim S<\dim M-1$. According to a few references (e.g., Mahmoudi, Mazzeo & Pacard), it should not be hard to see that:
''The closer a constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurface of $M$ is to $S$ (in the Hausdorff metric), the larger its mean curvature must be.''
I was wondering if this claim is indeed not hard to see, given that I am still unable to find a simple/elementary proof. Any suggestions?
Moreover, I was wondering if anything is known about the speed in which the value of the mean curvature $H(t)$ of a family $N_t$ of CMC hypersurfaces of $M$ "condensing" (i.e., collapsing) onto $S$ diverges to $+\infty$. For instance, is it always the case that both $H$ and $H'$ diverge to $+\infty$ as those hypersurfaces collapse onto the minimal limit submanifold? Perhaps, in some special situation (e.g., if the sequence of CMC hypersurfaces collapsing is a solution to the Mean Curvature Flow (MCF)), this is implied by some property of the MCF?

STEUBENVILLE - The Franciscan University of Steubenville men's basketball team dropped a 69-57 decision to Oberlin College Saturday at the Finnegan Fieldhouse.
The Barons, down to nine healthy players, seven of whom are new to the program, couldn't overcome a 14-point first half deficit.
"We're still trying to learn and figure out our groove," head coach John Lamanna said. "The pieces are here but we're still learning each other. Every game is new for us."

SIDELINE MEETING — Franciscan University of Steubenville men's basketball coach John Lamanna (with clipboard) talks to his team during a timeout in Saturday's 69-57 loss to Oberlin College at the Finnegan Fieldhouse.
FUS managed to force 23 turnovers and had two players score over 15 points, but also made a number of mental mistakes on both sides of court.
"That's what we're working on, trying to increase our consistency of play," said Lamanna. "It's a youth thing. It's a lack of leadership on the floor. So we're trying to figure out who's gonna step up within that program."
Buckeye Local graduate Joe Rine scored 17 points and led the team with seven rebounds while Weir High product Justin Horstman scored a game-high 20 points.
While injuries and youth continue to provide an added challenge for the Barons, Lamanna said he is confident that his team will continue to fight through it, and continue to improve.
"I feel really good about how we'll be able to respond," Lamanna said. "This group of guys has always responded to every challenge we've had this year and its gonna come for us."
The Barons host Penn State-Altoona at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

Kody and new (fourth) wife Robyn travel to San Diego for their honeymoon, leaving Kody's current wives angry that the new addition to the family gets a honeymoon 4x longer than theirs while they're stuck at home babysitting.
After an unusually long Mormon courtship, Kody and Robyn are finally have a marriage license and celebrate it by taking romantic walks on the beach in San Diego. The pair are optimistic that the other wives will take no time in accepting Robyn into the family.
Meri, Janelle, and Christine are not as pleased as Kody and Robyn might hope. Janelle thinks 11 days for a honeymoon is "ridiculous," while Meri is annoyed that Robyn gets a long honeymoon while she only gets 3 days with Kody to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
Christine, in tears, calls Robyn while she's on the honeymoon to ask if she, "really needed this."
Ultimately the wives have a lot to overcome in accepting a new woman (and her children) into their family. Hopefully Kody is able to distribute his time and love evenly amongst all the wives to help them feel more warmly towards Robyn. He certainly seems up to the challenge, as seen here when he relates to a polygamous rhinoceros.

So I believe this is the keyboard I bought after the Motorola one on Woot. Comparison is night and day... Logitech stays connected to my Xoom, is much lighter, and typing is so much faster!
Logitech switched to the unifying software about 2 years ago which allows for more customization to pick and choose your style of mouse and keyboard.
Looks like expires the 4th means that it's already expired on the 4th. It's showing the deal on the website still but when I add it to my cart it's back up to full price.

Encana said said it reached a deal with Phoenix Duvernay Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary of PetroChina, to jointly develop Encana's Duvernay natural-gas-and-liquids play in west-central Alberta. The latest deal is one of four major Chinese energy investments in Canada this year.
By JUDY McKINNON
TORONTO -- Just days after Canada clarified investment rules
for foreign state-owned investors, PetroChina agreed to pay
2.18 billion Canadian dollars (US$2.21 billion) to buy into a
natural-gas project with Calgary-based
Encana said Thursday that it has reached a deal with Phoenix
Duvernay Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary of PetroChina, to
jointly develop Encana's Duvernay natural-gas-and-liquids play
in west-central Alberta.
The deal gives China's largest listed energy producer a 49.9%
stake in the asset in exchange for an initial C$1.18 billion,
with the remainder payable over the next four years.
A previous joint venture between Encana and PetroChina fell
apart last year after the two sides couldn't agree on final
terms. Encana had agreed to sell PetroChina a 50% stake in
Cutbank Ridge, a large shale-gas project in western Canada, for $5.5
The latest deal is one of four major Chinese energy
investments in Canada this year, with the largest acquisition
being Cnooc's Ltd.'s US$15.1 billion acquisition of
oil-sands operator Nexen - getting the Canadian government's
nod less than a week ago.
In other deals, PetroChina bought the 40% stake it didn't
already own in the MacKay River oil-sands project from Canadian partner
Athabasca Oil Sands in January for C$680 million and it took a
20% stake in Royal Dutch Shell's Groundbirch shale-gas property
in British Columbia for C$1.304 billion in February.
For PetroChina, investments in Canada are part of a broader
goal of expanding overseas production to account for half of
its business by 2015. The state-controlled company produced
62.5 million bbl of oil equivalent in the first half of 2012,
up less than 1% on year, accounting for 9.4% of its total
output, according to its first-half earnings report.
Currently, there are limited outlets for transporting North
American natural gas across the Pacific, but PetroChina, with
Royal Dutch Shell, is taking part in a plan to build a
liquefied natural gas terminal in Kitimat, B.C. It is unclear
whether this could serve as an outlet for Duvernay gas.
PetroChina, which is expected to release a statement on the
Encana deal later today, wasn't able to immediately comment for
this article.
On Saturday, at the same time as it announced its approval
of the Cnooc-Nexen, Canada gave the green light to Malaysia's
Petroliam Nasional Bhd. to acquire Progress Energy Resources, a
Canadian natural gas producer, for US$5.2 billion.
Even as Canada approved those blockbuster deals, the
government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper also said the
country would dramatically increase scrutiny on other
investments proposed by state-owned entities.
Mr. Harper said Canada would all but rule out foreign
government-controlled investors from buying a majority stake in
any oil-sands operator and that the government would beef up
any reviews of other deals in other sectors.
The PetroChina deal now stands as an early test of what that
new scrutiny will look like.
Encana said the joint-venture assets contain an estimated 9
billion bbl of oil equivalent. The companies plan to invest
C$4.0 billion in new drilling, completion and processing facilities, it said.
Encana, a gas-focused company, has been stung by a sharp
fall in natural gas prices across North America. The company
has embarked on an aggressive bid to draw in joint venture
partners and shed assets.
"Phoenix's investment demonstrates the tremendous value that
Encana has created in this early life liquids rich play," said
Encana CEO Randy Eresman, "and enables us to accelerate the
pace at which the full production potential of our Duvernay
lands can be achieved."

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.

That's a bit pricey if you ask me... there are cheaper options available. I'll post a new deal for it though...
This is now a three way contest. You two, and Wootbot (which is being down voted, naturally). You guys just crack me up. :-D
@capguncowboy: I just posted this as cheaper price for an exact model that wootbot posted. Personally, I think they're all way over priced and have no use for any of them.
@jeffrjohn: Yay, you bazinga'd wootbot! His post has been deleted now.
@faughtey: Look again at the top of the fresh list with a clean slate...
@jsimsace: Thank you!
Bad wootbot! That happened a little while ago too.
The developers will want to know about wootbot quirks.
@shawnmiller and @josefresno:
After deleting wootbot, he came back. Does that mean he really loves us?
Looking at http://deals.woot.com/deals/search?q=Executive+Marshmallow+Blaster
I see three unique deals.
Deals from different stores are not duplicates. Someone might have a gift card, or privileged shipping status (Amazon Prime), or affinity toward a particular retailer.
A duplicate is the same product for the same price at the same store.
@shawnmiller: Whoops, my mistake! Sorry about that.

Kdenlive is reported to work on recent computers, with at least:
Any computer produced after 2005 should meet these requirements. You may only need a firewire interface.
For advanced use and semi-professional work, we recommend investing in a recent computer with:
In december 2008, some European retailers offered this kind of hardware for 500€, with one large screen. This is at least 4 times less than the equivalent under other operating systems. Don't spend your money in software licences for closed environment: buy camcorders and make films.
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 17:51
Can't find any of these for 500€ now :-(
Sat, 02/13/2010 - 20:44
Any updates on the system requirements?
I'm planning to edit 1920x1080 full HD clips shot with a Sony HD camcorder. There seems to be many quad-core processors available, but the price range is quite large. For example you can get a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHz for ~134€ (in Finland), or Intel Core i7 920 2,66GHz ~270€. And then there's also the AMD processors. Both of the ones I mentioned above are quad core. Is there a particular reason that an AMD Phenom is recommended or was that just the case back in 2008?
I know that the Core i7 have the following features, which the core 2 quad doesn't (?):
- hyperthreading, which enables them to run 8 different threads on 4 cores simultaneously or something.
- The Core i7 processors also use Quickpath Interconnect instead of FSB.
- They have an integrated memory controller
The motherboards for i7s also cost quite a lot more.
Obviously the i7 system would have much faster memory performance, but how much would this affect HD editing? Would the editing be fluent on a core 2 quad system with 4GB ddr2?
At first my hard-drive setup would probably be two raided(raid-0, I use a different drive for backups) sata drives, will this be the bottleneck for editing?
If it is, then it's probably best to get the cheapest core 2 quad setup and buy more sata hard-drives :)

I see in the recommended hardware for professional video AMD Phenomenon X4 cpu.
Does Kdenlive takes advantages with 6 core cpu, like Phenomenon X6 1090T ??
Does kdenlive prefer AMD cpu because of a test comparative vs Intel cpu ?? Or is it only a political choice ???
Tue, 06/22/2010 - 14:36
Bought one for a bit more - it renders more than 26 times faster then my former single core computer with an IDE disk.

Walters Wins For Fourth Time At SSP With NELMS
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Alyssa Jones)
The Northwest Extreme Late Model Series were on hand for their second leg of the Independence Day weekend doubleheader at Sunset Speedway Park on Saturday July 5th. It would be another great race at the "Banks Bullring" as the series made their fourth visit to the ¼-mile clay oval in 2014.
Greg Walters would take over the lead on lap seven after making the pass around Salem chauffeur Jacob Myers. Walters would have no issues the rest of the way as the Banks driver would lead the remainder of the distance for the win. It would also be a clean sweep of the evening's events and his fourth win for the T&G Trucking/American Landscaping/Schram Brothers Excavating/Duncan Automotive/Warpaint Motorsports Graphix #97 Victory Circle team with the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series in 2014.
Brad Martin of Warren was a respectable second in his Reser's Fine Foods/Wayne Martin Floor Covering/Competitive Edge Sign & Design/Alliance Automotive #99 MasterSbilt followed by Jerry Schram, out of Vancouver, Washington, in the Schram Brothers Excavating/Century III Stables/Bodies By Steve-O #16 MasterSbilt in third. Rounding up the top five was Jacob Myers in his Baxter's Auto Parts/Blasen & Blasen Lumber Corp/Powell Motors #9 Rayburn in fourth with fifth place belonging to the Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Klecker Knives/Applebee Aviation #8 machine of Rob Ireland from Banks.
Earning fast time of the night, winning his heat, and the trophy dash to make it a complete sweep was Greg Walters. The other heat race was won by Rob Ireland. For the latest information regarding the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series log on to latemodel.nwextremeseries.com.

Is there an application that allows me to extract the audio from a MP4 or FLV video file and store it as an MP3 file for use in a portable media player?
You can do the same in 12.04 by using several software.
Using WinFF
Using VLC
Using command line
you can do it using ffmpeg. Install ffmpeg using following command:
The package libavcodec-unstripped-52 is available in Multiverse repo, so you will need to enable it.
The -i option in the above command is simple: it is the path to the input file. The second option -f mp3 tells ffmpeg that the ouput is in mp3 format. The third option i.e -ab 192000 tells ffmpeg that we want the output to be encoded at 192Kbps and -vn tells ffmpeg that we dont want video. The last param is the name of the output file.
soundconverter is another tool that can convert audio formats and also video to audio only:
or via the terminal:
It is very easy to do with WinFF (install it), which is a GUI for ffmpeg.
Done. Screenshot:
soundconverter is another tool that can convert audio formats and also video to audio only.
It can be installed in the Software Center (by clicking the above link) or by running these commands in a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T):
Audacity can also open a flv file and export it as mp3, flac and other formats
My favorite way is to use
In fact the audio in a flv (and mp4) file is in
You can convert your media files using VLC player. Load a media file => to convert: Menubar > Media > Convert/Save.
You can also use Transmagedon Video Converter to convert video file to sound file.
Or in trminal:
To convert to MP4, you have to select in
Can convert to
I used VLC media player to convert a .flv file to a .mp4/mp3 file. Audacity failed at even loading the complete file. It could load only the first 8 seconds and I could export the audio. But, VLC was the fastest! Let every other piece of software be!

Hi everybody, I am interested in the following:
Let $I\subset S=\mathbb{C}[x_0,\ldots ,x_n]$ be a graded ideal such that $\operatorname{depth}(S/I)\geq 3$, and let $X^h$ denote the analytic space associated to $X=\operatorname{Proj}(S/I)$.
Is it true that $H_{Sing}^1(X^h)= 0$?
The answer is yes if $X$ is smooth: In fact, in this case, if $H_{Sing}^1(X^h)\neq 0$, then the Hodge decomposition would give $H^1(X,O_X)=H_{S_+}^2(S/I)_0\neq 0$, a contradiction to the fact that $\operatorname{depth}(S/I)\geq 3$.
However, what can we say if $X$ is singular?

WELLSBURG - For the superstitious, 13 is an unlucky number.
But for the Brooke High School Cheerleaders, it's a good number because on Saturday the squad won its 13th state championship, making Brooke the school to have won the most state titles for cheering in West Virginia.
At the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission's State Cheerleading Tournament in Charleston Saturday, the squad competed against seven other winners of regional championships held throughout the state.

STATE CHAMPIONS — The Brooke High School Cheerleaders have brought home the school's 13th state title, setting a state record for wins at the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission's State Cheerleading Tournament. The squad consists of, in front from left, Elizabeth Fernandez, Haley Bowman, Teirria Duffy, Emily Hosler, Alex Sperlazza and Katie Nunley; middle, Danielle Johnson, Casondra Camilletti, Alexandra Velegol, Aubrie Reynolds, Holly Davis, Brooke Clark, Abbi Yachini, Makayla Moore and Marin Rogers; and back, Sydney Gambellin, Nicole Himmelrick, Lauren Fritz, Kelly Schambach and Caitlin Cuomo. Its coaches are Melissa Michaux, Michelle Scherich and Christine Stucin. - Warren Scott
The Brooke squad advanced to the state level after placing first in the Class AAA division of a regional championship held Nov. 3 at Wheeling Park High School.
The squad is comprised of captains Elizabeth Fernandez, Haley Bowman, Teirria Duffy, Emily Hosler, Alex Sperlazza and Katie Nunley; Danielle Johnson, Casondra Camilletti, Alexandra Velegol, Aubrie Reynolds, Holly Davis, Brooke Clark, Abbi Yachini, Makayla Moore, Marin Rogers, Sydney Gambellin, Nicole Himmelrick, Lauren Fritz, Kelly Schambach and Caitlin Cuomo.
Their head coach is Melissa Michaux, who is aided by Michelle Scherich, her sister and assistant coach; and former Brooke cheering coach Christine Stucin, who came out of retirement to volunteer her services to the squad.
From 1999 to 2008, cheerleading squads from the school won 11 state titles. Saturday's victory is the second for Michaux and Scherich.
"I'm very excited for these girls. They worked very hard," Michaux said, adding the squad earned 347 points of a possible 400, with a Logan High School squad close behind them in the tight competition.
She said the squad was in the challenging position of being the first to compete in their division.
"They had a lot of pressure on them, but they did great. They set the bar high for everyone who followed them," Michaux said.
The squads were required to present two routines. The first was a technical cheer that couldn't exceed 40 seconds and included two jumps and various arm movements and formations.
The second had to be within 2 minutes and 30 seconds, was set to music and could involve more creativity.
The Brooke cheerleaders have become known for their fast-paced routines involving gymnastic maneuvers such as mid-air flips and twists from atop pyramids.
Michaux said the cheering competition differs from many other athletic events "because they get one chance and one chance only."
She explained each squad is ranked for just one performance when competing at the regional or state level.
Michaux said a large turnout not only by the cheerleaders' families, but many Brooke fans including head principal Toni Shute, helped the cheerleaders to turn in a solid performance.
The squad will be preparing soon for the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference's cheering competition in February.
But for now, its members can celebrate their state victory.
Because their division was the last to compete Saturday, they stayed overnight in Charleston before returning home Sunday, when they were met by a parade of local law enforcement and fire departments.

I have read about the existence of functions of the kind described in the title in several places, but never seen an instance of them. Sorry if this is too much an elementary question to be posted here.
A function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ is computable if and only if the graph of $f$ is $\Sigma_1$ definable in the arithmetic hierarchy, which means that $f(x)=y\iff \exists n\ \varphi(x,y,n)$, where $\varphi$ involves only bounded quantifiers. Thus, the essence of computation is that it is the search for an arithmetic witness $n$ of some primitive property.
Many functions, however, are easy to describe but cannot be expressed in this simple form. Here are some examples:
Joel and John have given lots of important examples; here is a curiosity:
John Conway invented the Turing complete language FRACTRAN. In this language, a program is simply a a finite sequence of fractions $p_1/q_1$, $p_2/q_2$, ..., $p_r/q_r$. Given an integer $n$, FRACTRAN multiplies $n$ by the first $p_i/q_i$ for which $q_i$ divides $n$. It does this repeatedly until no such $i$ exists, then it halts.
For any FRACTRAN program $(p_1/q_1, \ldots, p_r/q_r)$, consider the function $f$ which returns $1$ if the program halts and $0$ if it does not. This function can be rewritten as a simple piecewise-linear recurrence:
Now take a program for which it is undecidable, given an input $n$, whether or not it will halt. Would you agree that this is an easily described arithmetic function, if it were written out as a recurrence like this?
There are some easily-described noncomputable functions, if you are willing to accept functions that take finite objects other than numbers as inputs. The "objects" I'm referring to represent instances of Turing undecidable problems, such as those given as answers to this MO question. For example, you could take the function $f$ whose inputs are polynomials $p$ with integer coefficients, and defined by
$f(p)=1$ if $p=0$ has an integer solution, $f(p)=0$ otherwise.
This function is noncomputable because of Matiayasevich's theorem.
If you insist on a function with integer inputs, then in this case you have to encode each polynomial by an integer (and you also have to express the relation "$p=0$ has an integer solution" arithmetically). It is not hard to do, but not so natural or so easily-described. Unfortunately, this is always the case -- it seems that arithmetic is not such a natural language for expressing computability.
[Added later] I am assuming that "arithmetical functions" are those definable in the language of Peano Arithmetic, which has the usual logical symbols, variables, the constant 0, and the symbols $S$ (for successor), $+$, $\times$, and $=$.

Is there a way to search only books available in nearby libraries in Google Books?
No, Google does not display that information. However, the Worldcat webapp http://www.worldcat.org/ will do what you want. In their own words:
You can see if your local libraries are indexed by searching for your library or town here.
No. Google books stores one copy of every book (that they have gotten to). They do not publish information about which library they got that book for nor which library's have that book. Your best bet is to just call up local libraries if you come across a book you like. If they don't have it they may be able to tell you who does or even get it on a library loan.
