49ers' Crabtree Is Hurt
The San Francisco 49ers fear they will lose star wide receiver Michael Crabtree to a torn Achilles tendon suffered in off-season workouts Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Crabtree, 25, had a breakout year last season. He caught 85 passes for 1,105 yards during the 49ers' run to the Super Bowl, which San Francisco lost to the Baltimore Ravens.
Crabtree's injury is problematic since wide receiver isn't a strong point for the San Francisco offense, which still has question marks over whether quarterback Colin Kaepernick can repeat his heroics from the second half of last year.
The injury, then, could have a major impact on the NFC. The 49ers acquired Anquan Boldin from Baltimore this off-season but he doesn't have Crabtree's speed. San Francisco took A.J. Jenkins of Illinois in the first round of the 2012 draft but he has yet to show much in the NFL. Without Crabtree, San Francisco would have to rely even more on the running of Kaepernick and his read-option scheme that took the NFL by storm last year.
NFL teams are doing limited team activities this week, typically just workout drills and loose football play without pads.

WHEELING - The game doesn't know when the game is important.
That was among the messages Pittsburgh Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle shared Monday with those in attendance at the Wheeling Area Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner at Wheeling Park's White Palace, where he served as the event's guest speaker.
Introduced by Robert Nutting, chairman of the Pirates and Pirates Charities, Hurdle, the club's third-year manager, has helped it to a significant turnaround in his first two-plus seasons. On Monday, Hurdle said taking things as they come - playing only against the game and giving each moment equal focus - is what's important.

HURDLE ON THE GAME — Clint Hurdle, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, spoke Monday during the Wheeling Area Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner at Wheeling Park's White Palace. Hurdle advised attendees to take things as they come and give every moment equal focus. - Jennifer Compston-Strough
"Why does a player have more pressure in the eighth inning with the runner on second and two outs than he does in the first inning with a runner on second with two outs?" Hurdle asked, making the point that both situations should be treated as equally important. "Shouldn't we have the same mindset throughout the game, where we don't add that pressure like we've done here a little bit too much in the past?
"I think last year our guys got up in those game-changing moments and the people they were engaged with," he added. "Once we've been able to pull back and just play the game, we're getting better at it. The game doesn't know that the game is important."
It was a small, but significant point in a 23-minute speech that focused heavily on leadership, but also showed a side of Hurdle most fans didn't know. Few areas of his life went untouched during his talk - the good or the bad - because he believes in transparency.
Hurdle has a leadership tool he calls "Three Up, Three Down." He said he uses it in every relationship he has, including those with his children and his fellow coaches. Following that method, he shares three things he thinks a person is doing well, and three areas they might want to improve upon.
"If you're in a leadership position, think about this," Hurdle said. "If it doesn't electrocute you, you're probably in a good place. ... Because if you're truly transparent, your actions will speak louder than your words, and this will bond you with your people better than you've ever been bonded because you have to listen to them, listen to their perspective and not argue with them about their perspective."
Hurdle recalled words of praise that had been offered for Robert "Scat" Scatterday, who was honored with the Kathy Fortunato Community Service Award during the evening. Scatterday, race director of the Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon Classic Run and Walk and Wheeling-Ohio County Rails to Trails project engineer, was universally referred to as an inspiration for the work he does and the person he is.
"It's one of my goals with what I do," Hurdle said, "to try and make a difference somehow, some way in somebody's life today. You never know who that's going to be, so you've got to use your ears and you've got to use your eyes.
"What I've found out at the age of 55 is I don't know it all," he continued. "I don't have all the answers. I need to start using my eyes better, my ears better. I need to start paying attention to the people around me. Listen to other people's perspective. And do one thing at a time. I found out when I multi-task, I'm multi-mediocre.
"Every time I do more than one thing, I'm half good at it. When I take my time to do one thing, I'm at my best."
In other words, he tries to stay in the moment, to keep the game from knowing when the game is important.
The Kathy Fortunato Community Service Award was established by the chamber in Fortunato's honor following her death in 2006.
Fortunato served the YWCA as a volunteer and was past president of the YWCA board. A registered nurse, she also was executive director of the Ohio County Medical Society and a past president of the West Virginia Medical Society Alliance. She served on a number of committees of the American Medical Association Alliance.
Fortunato was a member of the Wheeling Health Right board of directors, a sustainer for the Junior League of Wheeling, a member of the Wheeling Symphony board and was active in local politics, serving as Ohio County Republican Party chairwoman.

There is no gimp2.8 in backports, therefore the easiest way is to add testing repositories to your machine:

Also you can backport gimp yourself, but it is much harder (:
If you aren't too tight on disk space, the easiest way to combine a stable system with the latest versions of a few applications is to run Debian stable, and maintain an installation of Debian unstable or testing in a chroot.
For a guide to setting up a Debian-like distribution in a chroot, see How do I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit Ubuntu? (the schroot section). The guide is written for 32-bit Ubuntu inside 64-bit Ubuntu, but applies equally to unstable inside stable and to Debian.

How to Paint Flames - Part 2Written by Chris Shelton on February 20, 2014 Contributors: Mike Chase, Rod & Custom magazine archives Light My Fire
As we explained last month, Mike Chase followed along as Art Himsl flamed Vic Edelbrock Jr.'s 1932 Standard coupe. In that issue we outlined the way Himsl, well...outlines a flamejob. This month Himsl shed some light on how he colors within those lines.
Pinstripes withstanding, the methods used to lay flames don't differ from any other conventional automotive finish. In fact, Himsl favors brands associated with refinishing. "I'm using either PPG or House of Kolor," he reveals.
That Himsl consents to mix brands suggests that flame painting isn't just like painting an entire car. Though he regards both brands with the same esteem and calls them functionally interchangeable (we're sure the paint reps would disagree) he distinguishes between the two brands.
The difference lies largely in how its manufacturer orients itself in the industry. For example, he explained that he prefers PPG for its comprehensive catalog of materials. It makes everything from primers to clearcoat and offers a version of every color an OEM applied to a body. But that global availability comes at a price: PPG is so big that it can't always react to the unique needs of every job. Tiny batches of limited-production formulas don't fit the company's business model.
House of Kolor's catalog may not be as fat but the company is small and agile enough to offer very specialized formulas. It understands its place as a custom-paint manufacturer means fulfilling very specific needs. So rather than sell prepackaged formulas that can be tweaked at the mixing point to achieve a distinctive personality it offers the basic building blocks and lets its clients pick and choose them to achieve a desired effect. Need a translucent color with a touch of pearl to apply over a silver base? House of Kolor offers exactly what it takes to do that job.
As stated in the last installment Darryl Hollenbeck applied the PPG ruby red base over which Himsl applied his masking pattern. It would've been a good idea to show how Himsl prepped the surface prior to applying the base for the flames but Himsl got ahead of Mike Chase and shot the paint before Chase got a chance to shoot the process. But really that process differs none from applying any other basecoat. It takes the same cleaning, scuffing, and spraying process.
Really the only difference between conventional refinishing and flame painting is expression. Whereas traditional finishing favors clockwork precision and consistency, graphics like flames celebrate creativity. Depending on the genre very contrast colors may crowd together at their borders or very subtle variations may blend. As Himsl shows, there exist a number of techniques that endow the patterns with a false sense of third dimension.
And that's the beauty of graphics like flames: there really isn't a wrong way to do anything. In fact, some of the very best graphics techniques were discovered by complete error—you think someone intentionally laid cling film on fresh paint to see what it would do to the finish? It was likely an accident.
While it's true that no single article can offer everything there is to know about flames, the information that Himsl dispensed in this one goes far beyond the very basics. So now that you know it, go out and do something with it. And let the flames fly!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
A decade or so ago Mike Lavallee pioneered what some felt was inevitable and most felt was impossible: real flames. The process differs radically from conventional flames by the limited amount of formal taping and the reliance on templates that temporarily block an area to define lines.Don't be afraid of using negative space to define flames. Transitional shapes like '50s Stude pickups don't quite integrate the fenders, making it tough to define the shapes. Carrying the flames down the sides leaves vast swathes of solid color but these negative flames visually lighten the areas. Note how the drop shadows suggest depth.In the early 2000s automotive art reflected body art. In this case tribal designs-a staple of tattoo art in the 1990s- pretty much dominated the early part of the New Millennium. Again, take care: highly popular designs risk falling from style and dating a car's build style.The hooked-end treatment also reinvigorated another old classic: the seaweed flame. This particular combination proves that a color combination needn't contrast strongly with the base color to really stand out.Flames can successfully integrate color splits. The dominant flames in this design actually use the base body color from the adjacent panels as a graphic element. But proceed with caution: without the orange flames interwoven among the other flames the design would fall apart.

My thoughts as a PC Consumer Consultant:
This PC is great for large image projects given you have a display
This PC is good for video editing due to the amount of RAM and the video card
This PC is a bit pricey for anyone wanting just leisure usage of any PC
By this, I mean, you can get a good PC for surfing the net, watching youtube and movies for less and with a monitor
This PC is not for gamers
The i5 performs fairly well in gaming but you'll need to replace the video card (520 is a bit on the slow side) and the power supply to call it a gaming rig.
In summation, if I were a photoshop junkie or a little-more-than-curious about video editing, I'd get this. If I wanted to play recent games with good quality or just surf the net most of the time, I'd go with something else.
Great review. Thanks for the advice.
I agree...this isn't a gaming PC...but it can be. The 3.0 GHz processor screams the potential to be a beast, but the low power supply "handicaps" its use to be a gaming rig. Most decent video cards for today's games require a power supply of 500 watts. High-end video cards require more. Don't let this deter you. Replacing the power supply & video card is relatively a simple procedure. If you are looking to buy a new high-end graphics card, and power supply, (on sale) be prepared to shell out an additional $200-300.
At 599$ you might be able to do just slightly better then this but not by much. Its an avg pc for just about anything across the board. The biggest let downs will be the Power supply, ram, and motherboard. Consider spending another few hundred to upgrades those and getting a much more powerful processing/gaming rig
"Get powerful 64-bit performance"
My Gamecube is 128-bit so it is twice as good as this and practically free on ebay.
@rtrozzo: You had me up until you said a letdown is the RAM... is 10GB not enough for you, or is it the DDR3 speed? Either way in my opinion, I wouldn't call either a letdown.
The description here should tell us that it is a "Refurb". You will see that after you click the link. :(
I have no qualms about buying refurbs. To me, it just means they've actually tested it before sending it out to market.
@bigsinner: This is a non -k processor and the RAM isn't great for gaming. This configuration really limits performance, and putting an OS + games on a single large block 7200 RPM hard drive is a terrible idea.
@tayl428: The ram is configured as 2x4GB 1x2GB. This kills any idea of dual or triple channel, and it's PC3-10600. Additionally, machines like this have LCD motherboards and RAM, so we're looking at super budget variants with presumably terrible latencies. This is not performance gear, it's capacity gear.
@the7654: hahaha, this computer will make your gamecube seem like "a sad, strange little man."
"There are many factors besides the number of bits that can affect the performance of a CPU, such as the design of its caches, buses, and clock speed capability.
There are also many factors besides the CPU that can affect the performance of a computer, such as the RAM, GPU, and hard disk.
So while increasing the number of bits of the CPU has the potential to improve performance, it also has the potential to drive up the cost tremendously without doing very much for performance, and it also generally requires all existing software to be rewritten.
Read more: Why have there been 128-bit gaming consoles years ago (Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2, etc.) but 64-bit PCs have only become popular recently?"
@fiberopticloser: I'm not disagreeing with you as I wouldn't buy this for your same reasons, but what did you expect for $599? Capacity usually rules at this price point and that will satisfy probably 80-85% of the PC users out there. Times may be changing though with the influx of tablets for general internet browsing though. The death of the general-usage desktop PC is nigh.
@terminatorgir: I think you missed the 'sarcasm' attachment to their 128-bit comment. lol
@tayl428: Well said tay1428 but also well said terminatorgir.
@terminatorgir: I do have 11 Gamecubes though so I beat this in number of cores too.
I bought one and it's on it's way!

BELL COUNTY (September 19, 2012)---Johnnie Ray Williams, Jr., 34, was in the Bell County Jail Wednesday charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with an attack on Aug. 31 in Harker Heights that sent another man to the a local hospital with a broken jaw.
Williams was jailed on Tuesday and ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bond, online records show.

What legacy are we leaving?
March 24, 2013
To the editor: Wherever I have lived, be it Poland, Arizona or Utah, I have proudly shared my Steubenville roots....
with all due respect there is thuggery, brutality, conceit and dishonesty all over this country, every week i stand up for this community, i'm sure people are tired of my comments, i can tell by the hateful responses that i receive. look at AZ where you are from, a Congresswomwn gets shot in the head, Jodi Arias on trial right now for stabbing a man over 20 times, slicing his throat from ear to ear , that shooting him in the head. i would never say that the people in the state of AZ have no morals and values, people need to look in their own back yard before thinking how bad the people in Steubenville are. i respect your opinion, but most people in this town are good honorable people.

Shining a light on crime in other areas of the country does not remove the shadow that has been cast over the Ville. It doesn't change what happended or where it happened. I doubt folks from Caldwell are complaining about the fact that they live in the place where a serial killer executed his victims. They understand that they happen to live in a place where something horrible has happened. Face the facts: Steubenville is a place where something horrible has happened and too many people permitted it to happen. The actions of a few do not identify the entire community. But, it does identify WHERE it happened.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The person who shot the Congresswoman was immediately apprehended and put behind bars. Arizona extradited Jodi Arias and is prosecuting her. Based on the questions submitted by the jury, it looks like Arizona will convict Ms. Arias.
I live in Lehi, Utah not Arizona. Utah also has many problems, but the state aggressively prosecutes criminals when they endanger the public.
When I grew up in Steubenville, my neighbors would immediately call my parents if I was playing in the street after dark or taking short cuts through yards.
The failure to not report a rape or discipline misguided teenagers after committing an awful crime infuriates everyone who comes from and lives in Steubenville. Every town has problems, but that does not exonerate the parents, coaches, and community leaders who are not addressing the problems.
Put the fires out in Steubenville instead of saying that other towns are burning. If not, there will be more victims.

In today's turn-based edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Monsieur.Froid admits that his Japanese role-playing game experience is limited to Final Fantasy XII. We cannot let that stand. Help him choose a more definitive JRPG to get him hooked on the genre.
Denizens of Speak Up, I demand an audience! (Editor's Note: No! Well, okay.)
I am in search of a good, nay, GREAT JRPG (Japanese role-playing game) for somebody who never plays JRPGs. I have only ever played Final Fantasy XII, and what kept me going wasn't the story, but simply a desire to know what happened to Balthier by the end of it all.
I don't care if it's zany or mundane, sci-fi or real-world, turn-based or strategy. What is the best JRPG for somebody who never plays JRPGs? Also, if you recommend one, please also give the console that it can be found on.

I want to check one of my RoR projects for security vulnerabilities. So can anybody recommend any gems for my needs?
Yes. You want Brakeman, a tool that scans your RoR code for security vulnerabilities
I recommend reading the OWASP Ruby on Rails Security Guide.
You could also try any web pen-testing tool; they are not language-specific. There are many of them. They only find low-hanging fruit, not all security problems, but it can't hurt to use them just in case they find anything your other methods missed. Search on this forum to find more information, e.g., What tools are available to assess the security of a web application?.
Disclaimer: I'm the gem author.
I wrote Codesake::Dawn, a security source code scanner for ruby code. I'm close to release version 1.1.0 with 171 security checks (CVE bulletins and Owasp ROR cheatsheet) included. It works with Sinatra, Padrino and Rails web application out of the box.
It doesn't detect xss introduced in your code... yet :-)

I have
git on
/usr/bin/git (I think was Xcode install) but it is 126.96.36.199 and I want to use the current version 1.7.7
Is there a way to uninstall that version and use the new one?
You can install
There's a little video tutorial here. http://vimeo.com/14649488
It's for an older version but it will get you started, let me know if you need more info.
(You can also use MacPorts, Fink or the Git OS X installer, to upgrade.)
If you want to use git itself to update git run the following commands :
This can be run from anywhere
This will install Git into your /usr/bin folder for global use.
None of the current answers will upgrade Xcode git. They will only install a newer version of git.
Xcode have has changed its mind several times about the best git location. Depending on how long ago you have been installing Xcode you will see git binaries at:
Even if you update the PATH, Xcode will stick to its version. The only way I know to force it to use the newer version is replacing those git binaries by a link to the new one you installed.
Repeat for the other path. Notice I use a symbolic link, not a hard one. Otherwise Xcode would replace your other installation during an upgrade
You can install the latest git using macports:
If you want a newer git than the one in Xcode then you need to install it, this install should be to another place as if you update
There are several ways to do this but as noted by @FranciscoGarcia they won't necessarily change the one used by Xcode just the command line version.
The easiest is to install the binaries from the git site.
If you want code then use a package manager e.g. Fink macports, Homebrew.
If you want the bleeding edge latest install from git's own repository.

Megan Bell, executive director of the Marie C. & Joseph C. Wilson Foundation, visits with a student participating in SUNY Geneseo's "Soaring Stars" education program.
GENESEO, N.Y. -- Educators at SUNY Geneseo are hoping that a summer learning program for elementary-age students in rural areas -- especially those living at the poverty level -- will increase their chances of graduating from high school and advancing to a post-secondary education experience.
The Rochester-based Marie C. & Joseph C. Wilson Foundation awarded the college a $50,000 grant to initiate the "Soaring Stars" program last summer and is committed to an additional $50,000 in matching grants to continue the program for at least two more summers. The Geneseo Foundation and the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership also have provided program support.
The first group of students comprised 27 rising first-graders from nine rural school districts of Livingston County, who were selected by their district to participate. They brought a wide range of academic abilities, backgrounds and temperaments. Some had reading and writing skills; others were just learning them.
The students will be invited to return each summer through the sixth grade to gauge the effect the program has on their educational and social development. The students attend the summer program five days a week for six hours a day within a six-week period.
"We see differences in rural students compared to suburban students in such areas as literacy levels, background knowledge and vocabulary development," said Program Director Annmarie Urso, assistant professor of education in SUNY Geneseo's Ella Cline Shear School of Education. "We are using a method that really helps these children develop enthusiasm for learning, and we saw some very promising signs of progress."
Urso and her team of teachers and counselors employed instruction inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy, which encourages children to develop individual interests and explore them using art, music, traditional subject instruction, and physical activities.
"In this approach, the child and his or her environment are as important as the teacher," said Urso. "The teacher helps children follow their interests. The development of motor skills, social skills and cognitive skills are all important precursors for academic success."
Urso relates an example of one girl who began exploring building blocks and became interested in building design and construction. A program counselor with a civil engineering background guided her on how buildings get built.
"This led to her drawing a design for a building and figuring out what blocks went together," said Urso. "It will be interesting to see next summer how she has progressed in the interest she developed. We get excited about the power and self-confidence such activities give a child."
Urso and her team will follow the core group of students, regardless of their abilities, to see if the outcomes are different based on their experience in the program.
"We also are sharing our impressions of the students with their kindergarten or first-grade teachers so they know what worked or didn't work in the summer program," she said. "We are gathering lots of qualitative data."
Both students and parents are giving "Soaring Stars" high marks. Some parents were reluctant to participate in the program because their children had a difficult year in school and they didn't want them to continue to feel badly about themselves. But by the end of the program, parents were calling to applaud the effort.
"The program is all about letting children follow their own interest and it's been a fascinating experience," said Urso. "We're looking forward to having them back."
The initial cohort of students in the program came from the following Livingston County school districts: Caledonia-Mumford; Avon; Livonia; Geneseo; York; Mt. Morris; Keshequa; Dansville; and Wayland-Cohocton.

The 6 Most Mind-Blowing Superpowers of Bees
#3. Daunting Strength and Endurance
Ants are renowned for being able to carry 50 times their own weight, which is impressive until you realize that bees can easily tote 122 times their own weight. Oh, and they can fly, too. In the air, they can carry their own weight in pollen, and while bees typically forage between 1 and 3 miles from the hive, experiments show that they can find their way home from 8 miles away.
Which makes them officially more intelligent than the average person with a dead smartphone.
And let's talk about bee flight for a minute. Bee aerodynamics actually sucks pretty hard. Because defying gravity takes a lot of energy, being streamlined and efficient is a must, which is why most other flying animals try to cut through the air as cleanly as possible. Stupid fat bees don't really give a shit about any of that. Their wings don't move at the same time, the delicate mechanisms propelling a bee through the air aren't even in sync and they fly clumsily and in a way that burns a lot of energy.
Richard Bomphrey via Sciencedaily.com
Does anyone else hear cartoony tuba music when they see this picture, or is that just us?
The crazy thing? They somehow make it work for themselves. Despite being poorly designed, hovering tanker trucks, bees can make as many as a hundred stops before heading home and can travel nearly 40 miles on one belly full of honey. The most fuel-efficient car in the world can get 170 miles per gallon. Give a bee a gallon of honey and he could make it nearly 5 million miles.
#2. Transform
Most insects just shut down or die when it gets cold, because the ability to thermoregulate is typically a mammalian trait. But bees have worked out an ingenious heating system for themselves, as well as the whole hive. These industrious bugs can crank up the thermostat by as much as 35 degrees Celsius. In times of cold, bees can disengage their wings and turn on just their wing muscles to warm up. They have a neutral gear that lets them rev up the engine for heat -- it's like running in place without moving your legs. The ability to control their temperature means that bees can forage when it's still too cold for competitors and predators, and it also allows them to heat their hives in the winter to keep them cozy even in freezing temperatures, effectively acting like live mini heaters. And if it gets too hot during the summer, a few of the workers will line up and flap their wings to fan everyone, becoming living ceiling fans.
But that's not the only thing our feisty flower fondlers do with their command over ambient temperatures. When bees face an overwhelming threat, like the dreaded Asian giant hornet, their normal defenses are useless. Their small stingers are not strong enough to pierce the hornet's exoskeleton. So instead, the bees will Zerg rush the offending hornet with a technique called balling. By encapsulating the invader in a living sphere of sweaty, writhing bodies, the bees can smother it by cranking up the heat and the carbon dioxide. With 500 gyrating bees all clumped together, they'll raise the temperature to 117 degrees Fahrenheit, literally cooking the wasp. Alone, an individual bee is almost helpless, but when they combine in Voltron-like fashion, they become a living microwave oven. Balling ... it's not just for hustlers and porn stars anymore.
A. Ugajin et al, PLoS One via National Geographic
"Speaking of porn, we do freelance merkin work, too."
#1. Incredible Intellect
We think of insects as tiny little automatons programmed to perform a task. They're too small to think. They cannot reflect on the world around them. They likely have a very limited memory. And certainly they don't possess the psychological depth needed for emotions. They're just a bunch of spinning, biting and stinging dummies. Dumb, dumb asshole dummies.
Man, your mom must really hate you.
However, new research is turning our conception of intelligence on its head.
Although bees are tiny, they have "the most densely packed gray matter of any animal" in the world. This compact little brain has given them the ability to count up to four and remember those numbers later on. Four might not seem like a lot (in fact it isn't), but they're the only bugs who can do anything close to counting. Bees also beat supercomputers when it comes to solving the traveling salesman problem.
"The answer is four. Now fuck off so I can do my job!"
We like to think that bees are mindless, identical drones, but new studies suggest that they have different personalities and emotions. Some buzz jockeys are thrill seekers who are more willing to take risks than their supposedly identical siblings. Other studies have shown that bees become pessimistic and get depressed when scientists torment them. Pessimism was thought to be a trait reserved for "higher" animals: "You can't be pessimistic if you don't have an inner life." And if they can despair, does that mean that they can hope, too? If you can be pessimistic, doesn't that mean that you can also be optimistic? It's a little scary to think that these tiny creatures might have aspirations and dreams. Fortunately, researchers have figured out how to strip bees of all hope to leave them despondent wrecks. Chalk up another win for science.

Aside from the obvious differences in the physical connectors, is there an advantage to one over the other?
Specifically, I am looking to connect powered near-field monitor speakers to my USB audio interface.
migrated from video.stackexchange.com Feb 21 '14 at 10:36
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
XLR connectors have a lock, so they are less likely to be unplugged by accident. Also, when connecting or disconnecting them, they are less likely to cause short circuit or produce noise because of their design (the TRS design may cause that). In general, the connector is more robust.
In your scenario, check if your monitors and interface support balanced signals, and if they support it, you can use a XLR cable that will carry the "control" signal on the third wire and will protect your signal from interference. If you use a TRS connector, be sure to use a three-conductor TRS connector to carry a balanced signal.

I Know oil pastel, graphite 30 x 11.25 inches 1995
I am from a family of six children. My mother was a career woman, one of those "super moms" who managed to take care of everything quite smoothly. My parents took an early retirement and, shortly after, my mother was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. She underwent a few months of intensive radiation therapy. Suddenly, she was the individual who needed to be taken care of. She had always kept her emotions to herself. Everything always appeared to be fine, whether it was or not. She wouldn't or couldn't talk about her feelings in any way other than positive superficial statements and would redirect personal inquiries. I felt compelled to make drawings describing my reaction to her and her condition. I wanted to reach beyond her "just fine" voice over the phone, so I awkwardly described a drawing I had just completed. This drawing represents hope (the top has little bits of illumination in the darkness) and fear (the bottom a swirl of stiff markings), the two blending, inseparable, in the middle. As I described this drawing to her, she agreed that was exactly how she felt. The subject was changed.

What I did first was write the linear combination of these vectors which I do not know how to format on here but is simply:
$$c_1(1,0,0) + c_2(0,1,1) + c_3(1,0,1) + c_4(1,2,3) = (x, y, z)$$
where the vectors are column vectors.
Then I get the equations $c_1 + c_3 + c_4 = x, c_2 + 2c_4 = y, c_2 + c_3 + 3c_4 = z$.
And this is where I get stuck. How do I prove that the vectors span $\Bbb R^3$ from here?

Public Health
Some Kids Bounce Straight To The Emergency Room
If your kids absolutely must jump around at their next birthday party, an inflatable moonwalk or bounce house may be a safer bet than a backyard trampoline. But only a little safer.
The wildly popular mosh pits for the school-age set have become a common source of injuries that send kids to the hospital.
Over the 15 years ending in 2010, the yearly injury rate from bouncers increased 15-fold to more than 5 injuries per 100,000 kids, according to an analysis just published in the journal Pediatrics.
The injury rate from trampolines, for comparison, was about 32 per 100,000 kids in 2009.
An estimated 31 kids a day in 2010 were treated in emergency rooms for bouncer-related injuries. Total injuries sustained on bouncers that year? More than 11,000.
All told, there were probably around 64,000 injuries sustained in the bouncers between 1990 and 2010, the researchers say. Though the actual figure could have been almost 97,000 or as low as 32,000, given that these were estimates made from a sample of about 100 hospitals.
The most common injuries were broken bones and sprains or strains.
The researchers from Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, say theirs is the first study to estimate bouncer injuries using national data and to look at the types of injuries treated in emergency rooms.
"Although authors have drawn parallels between trampoline-related and inflatable bouncer-related injuries, bouncers have escaped the attention garnered by trampolines in the medical literature and public policy arena," they wrote.
So, the researchers call for guidelines for safer use of bouncers and better designs to cut down on injuries.

To the editor:
Governments today sincerely try to bring about peace, but true peace is a person. This is found in the book of Isaiah 9:6, in the Old Testament, and the government shall be on his shoulder.
Today's listening ear needs to be more in tune, even in the midst of violence, war and terror, troubled times have been foretold.
Matthew, Chapter 24, tells us all about the signs. So for the moment, let's pause and digress. Why do we do this? When will the trumpet sound? The answer is given in the Scriptures, "unexpectedly" in 1 Thessalonians, 4:13-17.
Our listening ear and preparation should be ready for this voice. "For the Lord himself shall descend from the Heavens with a shout with the voice of the Archangel. And with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
With such an event as this, does the world end? No. So what happens next? God has used time like a broom. He has swept out the old and brought in the new, renovating and renewing.
Ecclesiastes 1:4 says, "One generation passeth and another cometh, but the Earth abides forever.
With the greatest ending on a positive note, he lets John the Apostle and revelator tell us under the inspiration of the spirit, "And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth. For the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." (Revelations 21:1)

Beats by Dr Dre Solo HD On Ear Headphones for $144.99 + $7.00 shipping
Everyone thinks you're gangsta when you wear these. Little do they know, you're actually listening to some smooth jazz.
22 Comments add a comment
I have spoken to the merchant regarding this product. They are confident that these are 100% genuine Beats. Please let me know if you have any questions.
@thefenst: Even if they are, beats are the single most overpriced headphone on the market right now.
Who is to say that smooth jazz is in fact not gangster?
Also, I understand downboating overpriced headphones but why downvote @thefenst? With plenty of copycat headphones if you're going to buy overpriced headphones you should at least feel comfortable knowing they're legit non counterfeit overpriced headphones. Nothing wrong with the comment at all.
@thefenst: thanks for making sure these are genuine. With the number of fakes posted here, including the occasional sponsored deal, it's appreciated.
That being said, the problem is that unless they're bought from an authorized seller, the warranty is invalid. These may very well be genuine, but I didn't see this particular seller listed here: http://www.beatsbydre.com/support/authorized-retailers,default,pg.html
considering that this particular seller lists the 1-year warranty for these on their site, I'd like them to say whether or not they are an authorized seller, and if not, why are they bothering to advertise the warranty at all?
Who cares if they are real are not? Either way they are overpriced / lower quality headphones.
Fakes might even sound better.
As much as I hate rapper endorsed headphones... Beats aren't TERRIBLE headphones. They over-emphasize bass and are overpriced... BUT, the build quality is really good.
I'd never buy them myself (I hope to grab some V-MODA ones myself) but don't TOTALLY knock them...
My 2 cents.
Didn't the last merchant claim that their's were real too?
Proceed at your own risk, folks.
Buy some Grado s80i's and $50 of malt liquor for the true high quality gangster experience and get better sounding headphones too for the same $
@narfcake: As part of my day job, I deal with a bunch of merchants selling counterfeit merchandise (Dr. Dre headphones are by far the most common item I see)
One thing they all have in common is they all claim their stuff is legit.
Most of them know fully well their stuff is fake but just don't care. But there are quite a few who really believe there stuff is genuine. Their supplier has assured them it is genuine and they are 100% confident they are selling legit stuff...until they find out they aren't.
Hello everybody, I just want to let you know that the headphones that are being sold today are very legitimate. We have done business in this space for over 10 years and the supplier is very good. While I know some you think that they are overpriced, these headphone are very hard to come by at this price. We believed that the wooters would recognize that.
We are sorry for the fraudulent behavior of some the previous dealers, but we pride ourselves as an honest and transparent company. We consistently offer some of the best prices on the net to our members and would love the wooters to be a part of Overrunz and Z Bucks.
Once again, we apologize for any confusion. Please contact us with any questions at firstname.lastname@example.com
@kamikazeken: The warranty on the product is valid and will be honored. The list that is available online does represent all resellers. This is a solid deal.
@rustybender: Hello, I would just like to reiterate that these are legit headphones from the manufacturer. They are boxed in corporate packing, have a warranty, and sound amazing. We have been dealing in this space for many years and pride ourselves on being transparent and honest. We would know a fake a mile away, and we would never sell one to you or anybody else.
@bloodypenguin: Thanks for your opinion. While you may believe these are overpriced, this is the best price for factory new Beats Studios on the internet.
Still download Beats because of: http://www.monstercable.com/counterfeit/blacklist.html
Huh? Sorry, had my "beats" turned up too loud....
For this form factor, I prefer the Steelseries Flux headphones. Significantly more functional and with interchangeable cords and ear cushions (plus compatible audio cords for both PC and cell phone being interchangeable) they are the most durable/maintainable pair of headphones I have ever seen. Audio quality is second to none, and they are reasonably priced compared to these. At least check their site out (PS: I have no affiliation with Steelseries whatsoever).
why bother putting beats crap on front page, gtfo
funny the official monster black list has deals.woot on there
One thing I've noticed is that the places selling fakes deny repeatedly that they are fakes. They say they can spot a fake a mile away, except that the fakes are packaged in a way that it can actually be quite difficult to tell. They may actually believe they are real.
The problem here is that these guys say they trust their distributor- red flag. If they are not buying them direct, they cannot vouch for their legitimacy.
@navthesav It's also funny they have monoprice.com on the list. Which is probably the most reputable reseller of AV cables and accessories (at a fraction of the price of Monster's stuff) out there.
LOL @caffeine_dude: 's spell check.
Still download Beats because of: http://www.monstercable.com/counterfeit/blacklist.html
Should read:
Still downvote Beats because of: http://www.monstercable.com/counterfeit/blacklist.html
I'm wondering whether
a) anyone actually ordered these
b) they've actually received them
c) they ended up being genuine
Just morbid curiosity...

And, Google Translate does add those strings to the URL (e.g. http://translate.google.com/#en|nl|), so that is why I don't understand why the same is not automatically happening on YouTube too.

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Jury selection is underway in Riley County in a double murder case involving a mother and child.
The process began Tuesday, June 5, 20120 at the Riley County courthouse. District Court Judge Meryl Wilson is presiding over the case.
Luis Aguirre, 24, could face the death penalty if convicted of the 2009 murder of his girlfriend, 18-year-old Tanya Maldonado, and the couple's 13-month-old son Juan. He's pleaded not guilty to capital murder.
Police say Aguirre killed the mother and son around Sept. 19, 2009, then buried them in a shallow grave near Ogden. A hunter discovered their naked bodies more than a month later on Oct. 25th. At first, authorities thought Tonya was the only one in the grave but once the exhumation process began, her baby's remains were also uncovered.
Aguirre moved to Ogden within a year of the killings. His girlfriend and son were from the Chicago area.
Riley County authorities arrested him in Austin, Texas on Oct. 30th, 2009. Prosecutors indicated that the murders took place in Ogden and during the lapse between the deaths of Tanya and Juan and when their bodies were discovered, Aguirre had relocated to Texas where he was living with his new girlfriend and her parents.
In a previous hearing, Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson shed light on what the state believes was the motive for the murder, saying that for Aguirre, Tanya and their son had become an "albatross." Tanya delivered Juan in 2008 and Aguirre had moved to Ogden. She was desperate for money, living with her baby in a homeless shelter and needed money. She wanted a family and wanted Aguirre to support them. In late September 2009, prosecutors say Aguirre picked up his son and girlfriend from the homeless shelter and brought them to Ogden to the house where he was living with his new girlfriend and a short time later, they both ended up dead.
Authorities have never released how the mother and her baby were killed and Wilkerson only briefing touched on what the state believes happened, saying Aguirre claims it was all a "misfortunate accident during a struggle over tightening blankets too tightly." But while Aguirre says he did not intend to kill them, Wilkerson says the state thinks their murders were premeditated. Wilkerson says Aguirre could not break free from his girlfriend and move on with his life, like joining the Army full time and the prospect of having to support them was hanging over him.
Aguirre's attorney, Jeffrey Wicks, has declined to comment on the case until after the trial.
Prosecutors say 320 questionnaires were sent out to potential jurors. On May 29th, 2012, they were brought in to fill out the 24 page questionnaires so that the court could get a head start on their views on various issues involved in the case, including the death penalty. On Monday, June 5, 2012, the first panel consisting of 18 potential jurors was brought into Judge Wilson's courtroom to talk about the questionnaires and their ability to serve on the jury. Panels of 18 potential jury members will continue to be brought in throughout the week until a pool of 42 is formed. Then, the prosecution and defense will each be able to strike 14 people from the pool, leaving them with 14- a 12 member jury and 2 alternates.
Opening statements and testimony are set to get underway June 18, 2012. The trial could last up to four weeks.
Aguirre is being held in the Riley County Jail on $2.5 million bond.
Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson says this is the first capital murder case tried in the county since the death penalty was reinstated in Kansas in the early 1990s. The state plans to call 20 witnesses to testify.

I run a social learning network that enables anyone to create a class/ workshop on almost any non-academic topic and allows users to register online. Anybody can be a teacher or learner. Its free.
We are getting a lot of visitors. The feedback on the design etc has been phenomenal. However, we are getting very few "users" – very few visitors are actually registering for classes.
How do we convert people who come as browsers to people who actually sign up and use the platform? Any tips?

Let $R$ be a semi-ring (resp. a ring). Let $\hat{R}$ be the structure obtained by "allowing infinite sums" in $R$ so $$\hat{R} := \lbrace\sum_{i \in I} a_i| a_i \in R\rbrace,$$ where $I$ is countable set. So my question is:
- Is $\hat{R}$ a semiring (resp. ring)?
- If we assume $R \neq 0$ does it follow that $\hat{R} \neq 0$?
Edit: After being closed, I rewrite the question as follows: Given a semiring $R$. Assume we would like to make sense of infinite sums in $R$, so is there a way to define a sort of "completion" to $R$ which allow to make sense of infinite sums? Thanks.

How many legislature members there were who were not members of any party in the USA compared to the USSR during the Cold War and now?
For the USA, I guess the information is reasonably googlable. But as for the USSR, I wish to point out that the answer is: 0, both substantively and formally.
(1) Substantively: Clearly, no one who was really opposed to the CPSU was allowed to come within a shout of any political office.
(2) Formally: The "independent" candidates were actually running as part of a "Communist and Party-less Bloc" (which pretty much covers all bases). So even if they were not card-carrying members of the CPSU they were elected to the Supreme Soviet on behalf of the CPSU. I couldn't find an English reference to the bloc, but here is a Russian one from the Big Soviet Encyclopedia itself.
EDIT: Here is a contemporary reference to the bloc: http://ufn.ru/ru/articles/1937/8/b/.
EDIT: The second source I gave is a contemporary, 1937, official propaganda press release about the elections. Curiously, it was published in a physics journal (and presumably, in other journals as well). The following passage is telling:
In English (my translation):
So, the deputies formed an "iron cohort of Party and non-Party Bolsheviks". I think it proves beyond any doubt that the "independents" were just as beholden to the party as the formally party men.
UPDATE: I found a 1947 election poster for the "bloc".
UPDATE: More evidence: a booklet, published in 1954, titled "The Indestructible Bloc of the Communists and the Party-less". Published by the State Press for Political Literature.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has finalized a response plan to help combat a disease that is killing bats and spreading toward Georgia.
Described as North America's "most precipitous wildlife decline in the past century," white-nose syndrome is a wildlife epidemic blamed in the death of more than 1 million bats since its discovery in New York in 2006. The syndrome, called WNS, has since been confirmed in 11 states – the closest is Tennessee – and two Canadian provinces. The fungus blamed for the syndrome, Geomyces destructans, has been found on hibernating bats in two additional states.
The plan from the DNR's Wildlife Resources Division outlines steps for raising awareness about the syndrome, preventing or slowing its spread, reporting and analyzing bats, and managing related natural resources such as caves. Wildlife biologist Trina Morris, who led the effort, said the document is modeled after other states' plans. A draft was reviewed by organizations varying from the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study to Georgia caving groups.
The goal, Morris said, was "having something specific to Georgia that we can use." The plan can help guide everyone from cavers cleaning their equipment to researchers scoring bat wing damage and animal control companies removing bats from a building.
Researchers are trying to determine the cause of WNS, its effects and how it spreads. There have been no reported affects on humans or other wildlife.
The syndrome's name comes from the white fungus found on the muzzles and other parts of affected bats. Awakened from winter hibernation, or a less intense period of torpor, the bats are using up fat reserves during times when the insects they eat are not available, leading to death by starvation and cold. Death rates of 90 to 100 percent have been seen in some hibernacula, or hibernation areas.
Georgia has few known large winter hibernacula. But learning more about the 16 species of bats found in the state is even more important considering the growing threat of WNS, said Morris, who works for the Wildlife Resources Division's Nongame Conservation Section.
Species affected so far include the tri-colored bat (Perymyotis subflavus), little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus), big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), Southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius), small-footed myotis (Myotis leibii), cave myotis (Myotis velifer), and the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and gray bat (Myotis grisescens). All except the cave myotis are found in Georgia. The small-footed myotis is a state species of concern.
The plan is available at www.georgiawildlife.com/conservation, along with other information on white-nose syndrome.

Speed O'Motive Ford Engine Build - Speed O' Motive Strokes A FordWritten by on February 1, 2005 Stroked 351W To 418ci
Adding more muscle and power to your small-block engine doesn't require big dollars, regardless of brand. However, you'll need an experienced speed shop that can put the correct parts together and a machine shop that can fine-tune those parts. And there's not a more experienced speed shop than Speed O' Motive that is located in West Covina, California.
Speed O' Motive works in conjunction with Rottler Manufacturing to develop new applications for their CNC F 65 machining center. While not everyone wants or can afford a blueprinted engine block, it's the most secure way to achieve a high-performance engine. And a stroked engine block is an affordable way to build on torque and horsepower.
A custom specification sheet is prepared for every customer's engine order at the time it's placed and for its specific application. A marine-block is machined to a different set of specifications than a street or race application. And, only through the use of CNC equipment is Speed O' Motive able to prepare each engine block to exact tolerances in an economical manner.
Typical stroker-engine assembly demands the crank kit be mocked up in the block. In some cases, a hand-held grinder complements the CNC machine work in order to provide additional clearances between the block and rotating assembly (connecting rod and rod cap).
And in case you weren't aware, the CNC mills at Speed O' Motive are programmed to grind off the crankshaft centerline. By doing this, the desired clearances can be achieved by removing the least amount of material possible-ensuring engine block integrity. This provides close-tolerance machining that can be measured straight off the crankshaft centerline-correcting for any possible block-core shift.
For those of you who haven't considered a stroked engine, it's not as difficult or expensive as one might imagine. The confidence a balanced and blueprinted engine provides is significantly greater than a stock engine. The performance a stroked engine provides is inspiring. So stay tuned for our next installment. It will detail the cam specifications and assembly of this 418ci Ford engine.

Systemax aluminum heads for small-block Ford engines (PN 300-575), by a division of Holley, are a great way to save weight and increase your engine's performance. Very little hand-grinding is necessary to achieve maximum-flow results.The Weiand Stealth (PN 8023) high-rise/dual-plane manifold has a square flange carburetor mount and no EGR provision for pre-smog street and race engines. These manifolds produce excellent mid-range torque and good low-rpm throttle response.Holley makes a wide variety of AFB carburetors. This unit is an 830-cfm NASCAR/WINSTON unit (PN 4150 HP). We plan to attempt to attain 500 hp on the engine with Speed O' Motive leading us through their typical hardware and CNC-machine program.A wide variety of performance engine kits are available on Speed O' Motive's Web site. We selected the 418W All Forged kit with this RPM 4340 Forged crankshaft with a 4.100-inch stroke. All the oil holes were chamfered (rounded) for improved oil flow.Speed O' Motive balanced the crank with an external balancer and flywheel. A small amount of material was removed from this crankshaft lobe.Another small notch was made on the bottom of the block; note the arrow pointing to the oil pan surface.The set of JE Pistons are probe-forged dish-top pistons with a zero-deck compression ratio: 55cc=10.98:1, 60cc=10.43:1, 64cc=10.03:1, 69cc=9.58:1.

Leavenworth Water Department employees responded to several water main breaks over the holiday weekend including one on Christmas morning. But a department official said this number of breaks isn't necessarily unusual for this time of the year.
"So we just have to deal with it," said John Kaufman, general manager of the department.
And Water Department employees were working Wednesday morning to repair another break in front of the post office in downtown Leavenworth.
"I'm just glad it didn't happen before Christmas," Kaufman said, because it may have disrupted people mailing holiday packages.
He said Wednesday's fracture at Fourth and Shawnee streets was in an old water line that's connected to a replacement pipe that recently was installed at that location.
Kaufman said Water Department officials plan to replace more of the water main that runs under Shawnee Street. But the work has been halted because of winter weather.
He said the break on Christmas morning occurred in the 1800 block of South Fourth in front of Tire Town.
Other breaks that occurred over the Christmas weekend were at 13th and Cherokee streets, in the 1700 block of Michael Street and in the 200 block of Sheldon Street.
Today when the Water Department puts in new pipes, they're buried in sand which Kaufman said can help alleviate problems that lead to breaks. But 100 years ago, people thought cast iron water lines would never break or corrode.
Kaufman said the Missouri River level is coming back up after it had dropped considerably. He said the Army Corps of Engineers has released more water into the river through a reservoir system. While a drop in the river could have turned into an issue for one of the department's plants, the department could have continued to operate with its other plant.
