Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria. Infections caused by bacteria include:
Antibiotics kill the bacteria that cause the infection. The infection may reoccur after using the antibiotics. If this happens, a repeat course of antibiotics may be necessary. Some people may continue to develop symptoms and complications of the infection even after the bacteria are killed.
Below are examples of antibiotics used to treat infections in pregnancy.
Possible side effects of all antibiotics include:
If you have been exposed or have specific infections, you may get an injection or infusion of immune globulin (IG) to help boost your immunity. IG can be given safely as a shot under the skin, into a muscle, or by IV.
IG can be used for:
Infection with
virus is treated with
acyclovir. This medication can also be used to prevent an outbreak during pregnancy. Women who are infected with HIV should talk to their doctor about which antiviral medications are appropriate.
Certain antiviral medications can safely be given to women late in pregnancy to decrease the risk of transmitting hepatitis B from the mother to the developing baby. These include lamivudine, telbivudine, and tenovofir.
Whenever you are taking a prescription medication, take the following precautions:
Talk with your doctor before using over-the-counter medications to treat an infection. There are some over-the-counter medications that are not safe to use during pregnancy.

After installing Ubuntu Studio 12.04, I found that it uses a low latency kernel. I searched why and how to change back to realtime or generic ones. But, looks like this part of Linux hasn't been covered so much.
Q: Why to choose low latency kernel over generic or realtime ones?
P.S:L I have already read the answers from this question and this post.

Let $S=k[x_0,...,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $k$ and $f\in S$ non-zero and homogeneous. Is it true that $Ext^m(S/(f),S)$ is zero?
This would help me to show that $Ext^m(S/fI,S)\cong Ext^m(S/I,S)(\deg f)$ for $m\geq 2$ and a homogeneous ideal $I$ of codim $\geq 2$. I tried the following approach:
Applying the long exact sequence of $Ext$ to the exact sequence of graded $S$-modules
$$0\to S/I\xrightarrow{\cdot f} S/fI(\deg f)\xrightarrow{\tau}S/(f)(\deg f)\to 0,$$
where $\tau$ is the canonical morphism $s+fI\mapsto s+(f)$,
$$\ldots\to Ext^m(S/(f)(\deg f),S)\to Ext^m(S/fI(\deg f),S)\to Ext^m(S/I,S)\to$$
$$Ext^{m+1}(S/(f)(\deg f),S)\to Ext^{m+1}(S/fI(\deg f),S)\to Ext^{m+1}(S/I,S)\to\ldots$$
and two zeros on the left would suffice.

I know that in different eras people have had different schemes for categorizing the people of the world by race, or disposing of such schemes altogether. What racial categories did people commonly recognize in the US in the 1800s?
One way to answer this question would be to look at United States Census Data to see how the government tracked race over time. In 1800, for example, the Census tracked free white males, free white females, all other free persons except Indians not taxed and slaves. (http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/1800-return-whole-number-of-persons.pdf)
The working paper, Historical Census Statistics on Population Totals By Race, 1790 to 1990, and By Hispanic Origin, 1970 to 1990, For The United States, Regions, Divisions, and States, from the U.S. Census Bureau identifies which racial and ethnic categories have been listed in the Census over time (although it does not specify how racial categories were phrases, e.g., black vs. African American). From the 1800 to 1850 Census (these are done every 10 years), only White and Black were counted. Beginning in 1860, American Indian, Eskimo, Aleut and Asian and Pacific Islander were counted. The first time Hispanic ethnicity appears to be considered is in the 1940 census, although it was not asked in all following censuses. (http://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0056/twps0056.html)

I'm not sure how much to fry the frozen bacon I get. Should it be crisp? When do I stop?
In my experience, you'll get the best bacon if you start with a cold pan. Throwing it onto a hot pan sounds impressive (it sizzles right away), but it will also make the bacon shrink/curl up much more and faster.
I cook bacon half by look, and half by sound. After you cook it a couple times you'll see (hear) what I mean - the sizzle changes significantly as the fat renders off. I usually flip it as soon as the sound starts to change, and I flip more than once to reduce curling (unless you have a bacon press, see below).
If you don't have one, I recommend a bacon press, especially if you like crispy bacon. It also helps it cook faster. In a pinch, you can use the bottom of a smaller pan - I cook bacon in a 12" cast iron pan, and use an 8" pan as the bacon press.
If you don't have a splatter guard, you're going to want one...
...unless you wanted to cook your bacon in the oven. This is great for large batches, reducing splatter, and unattended bacon cooking. Steps to oven bacon:
One other note, no matter which method you use, you're going to want to take the bacon off the heat a minute or so before it's at the desired crispiness - it will continue to cook slightly after you take it off. There have been a few times I've made it to my desired doneness, tasted it out of the pan, been very happy with it, moved it to paper towels to drain, tried it a minute later, and it was too crispy. So be aware of that possibility.
It won't necessarily be entirely crisp in the pan, but will crisp up very quickly once it starts to cool. This picture - http://www.sogoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/cooking-bacon.jpg - looks about the right doneness when you should pull it off. It's also up to your personal preference how much you like it done (softer, in the middle, or very crispy). I would say the picture is near the middle and closer to the very crispy side than the softer side.
As well as the subjective question (how do you like it) there are a few other factors - bacon varies a lot - cheaper bacon tends to be injected with a lot of water, so it is actually difficult to crisp up without it becoming overcooked. You can spot this by white liquid coming out in the pan while it cooks.
The proper stuff varies between lean (very little fat) and streaky (far marbled through) - generally speaking, the streaky fatty stuff is much better if you want crispy bacon (to be drizzled with maple syrup, say). Lean bacon can get a bit like leather if overcooked (lack of fats).
As you're specifically talking frozen bacon I guess the main concern is that it's completely cooked through.
Keep cooking till it is toasty black, then flip and repeat. Note that while the bacteria will be well and truly destroyed, the resulting carcinogens may be worse in the long run.
Seriously though you don't need to cook until crunchy, or just until soft. Even just microwaving for 1 minute on high is technically enough.
Bacon definitely should be fried until crisp, including the fat. It takes time and patience, but it's worth the wait. BTW, I have given up ordering bacon with anything in restaurant because you don't get nice, crisp bacon--you get a flabby slab of fat with some chewy, undercooked meat running through it.

What costume, if any, are you wearing for Halloween this year?
Here at work we have a Halloween costume contest every year. Last month our City Council rushed into a deal where they will be knocking down City Hall (in February!) and building a baseball stadium in its place. A significant portion of the population, including many of us City employees, are unhappy with this decision. Quite a few people think that the baseball stadium is not a wise investment, and quite a few more think it's crazy to knock down a serviceable government building and scatter municipal services to the wind to facilitate private development. I should get a lot of laughs out of my Halloween costume. I am planning to dress as the City Hall building and carry around a baseball/wrecking ball. I won a prize some years ago as "the ghost of City Hall", dressed as a ghost chained to a rolling office chair. What are you planning to wear?
16 Answers answer
Going as a forum mod. That's right, I'm scary all year.
@inkycatz: But you could be a forum mod with wings... Or at least just quit hiding them for a day, even if they do look like bat wings.
A truly inspired costume thought, right here.
Not sure I'm dressing up at all this year. Not going to any Halloween parties or anything, so not very inspired to do anything. When I answer the door to hand out candy I guess I'll be "telecommute guy" in my t-shirt and shorts.
@kmeltzer: You should shake it up and wear a suit.
@inkycatz: Ohhhh.. not a bad idea!
far as i'm concerned, this guy has the right idea:
@pemberducky: His box would be perfect for my costume. It's exactly the right shape.
I'm passing on the costume thing this year...but I might change my mind....
Thinking about using my just been shipped so hoping it arrives in time SCIENCE: Consider Yourself Warned! t-shirt as a base for a mad scientist outfit, mostly so I can get an extra discount at my comic book store (and because I've always wanted an excuse to buy some cool mad scientist type goggles, if I can find some*)
*Suggestions welcome.
Also, adorable kitten w/ costume @inkycatz.
Conspiracy Theorist: Hat of tin foil over a colander, a tshirt that proclaims "Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed!", three or four copies of Catcher In The Rye, and a copy of Weekly World News. (Any suggestions for additional elements for the physical costume itself are more than welcome.)
Then I spend the evening talking about chem trails, the faked moon landing, Obama having to fake his birth certificate due to being born on another planet (he faked the newspaper articles at the time by use of alien time-travel tech), cattle mutilations, reptilian blood in England's ruling dynasty, the fact that 9/11 was engineered by a race of super intelligent narwhals being kept at Area 51, the even smarter unicorns being kept at the even-more-secret Area 52, and any other nonsense I can dream up.
@lonelypond: Steampunk is in this year, which means there are goggles everywhere. Your local costume/party shop should have a good selection. Or there are an abundance on EBay, just make sure they are shipping from the US so they will get here in time for Halloween. Email the vendor to confirm prior to bidding.
@mrgrogg: You could retask and old Walkman or something like it to be a bug sweeper. You could hide little plastic bugs around the office when no one is looking and then successfully "detect" them with your detector.
@moondrake: Great idea! Thanks!
In my wootizen boc I got this lovely disposable overalls. I'm thinking that, with some whacky logo and one of the cool pairs of goggles that was also in there. And...I can make some crazy hat, and get some of those finger lights. Yup. Costume done. What am I? Crazed or alien worker at some factory somewhere, I dunno! Weird. Weird is what I do best!~
@moondrake: thanks!

The Testament of Mary
Mater dolorosa is certainly a title that can be applied to the Mary of Colm Toibins Testament of Mary, but the sorrow in her voice rests on a fulcrum of anger and fear. Permit, please the metaphor, to let me say the balance tips towards rejection, and the traditional role she rejects rises away, almost thrown from her grasp. Her novelistic end weighs heavily towards escape, if only imaginary, into a sensuous human realm: a city filled with wells and trees. The world has loosened, like a woman preparing for bed who lets her hair flow free. Of that other world, of the death of her son, of his crucifixion she says, I can tell you now, when you say that he redeemed the world, I will say that it was not worth it. It was not worth it.Of course, much meaning lies with the its of It was not worth it. This is the judgment offered by Mary as she approaches not a meeting of those who follow The Way but a Temple of Artemis. She rejects her sons career and death, denies its supposed meaning, and questions the whole notion of redemption. The directions she favors she summons in the very last words of the book: And I am whispering the words, knowing that the words matter, and smiling as I say them to the shadows of the gods of this place who linger in the air to watch me and hear me. All that is the good news of the gospel, she turns from for the humble consolations of this pagan life.Toibin, in an NPR interview last year with Terry Gross, explained that he had approached the story of Mary as a novelist, and that as he began to inhabit her consciousness, he let the character develop in its own idiosyncratic ways. A reader has to take the unconventional portrait for what is suggests about the traditional Marian narrative.From the start Mary is defensive of her son, worried over the rag-tag group who follows him and who appears to second the increasingly wild claims he makes for himself. Her mothers gaze is simply unable to penetrate the life her estranged son is living. When I rose to embrace him, he appeared unfamiliar, oddly formal and grand, and it struck me that I should speak now . . . 'You are in great danger,' I whispered." She knows that the authorities, Jewish and Roman, are tracking his every movement, but her sun refuses to pay her heed.She has a close informer and protector, Marcus, who relates to her the summoning to life of Lazarus, the miracle hardly provoking her wonder: the world around remaining stilled and silent, and my son too, I am told, stilled and silent, as Lazarus began to weep. She comments further, They felt, as I felt, as I still feel, that no one should tamper with the fullness that is death. Jesus miracles are signs of power, but of a disruptive sort that Mary sees as violating the processes of nature.The estrangement is furthered; Mary declares to Marcus when he tells her Jesus is to be crucified and that she, as his mother, is also in danger, I am not one of his followers. He replies that she will be sought out no matter what, and he gives her a means of seeing Jesus before his Passion. She lives his coming ordeal in anticipation on her journey south to Jerusalem and once in the city finds her son already in custody and she housed with his followers, a group she distrust and fears. She witnesses with them the trial of Jesus from the square below Pilates place of judgment, and finally, stands at the cross, awaiting his end.Here Toibin makes most clear her demarcation from the Passion of her son: she flees from Golgotha, aware that her life is threatened because of her association with Jesus; she makes this confession: I will say it now because it has to be said by someone once: I did it [fled] to save myself. I did it for no other reason. She asserts that she has dreamed that she stood by the cross, held him in the traditional pieta, doing all that is demanded of a mother. But here, she makes the assertion that, in effect makes the novel, I tell the truth not because it will change night into day or make the days endless in their beauty and comfort they offer us, we who are old. I speak simply because I can, because enough has happened and because chance may might not come again.Toibins Mary asserts her self-knowledge, of her weakness, of her unease over her sons extraordinary life and mission, to separate herself from any distortion of her truth in her anticipation of what will happen to her lifes history. She will not be subsumed into a pattern; she does not believe in what her son has done, nor does she want to be part of such a working out of a plan which she rejects.This is over now, The boy became a man and left home and became a dying figure hanging on a cross, I want to be able to imagine that what happened to him will not come, it will see us and decide not now, not them, And we will be left in peace to grow old.The abstraction of the sentence, became a dying figure, denies Jesus even his crucified humanity. His mother longs for what is normal, for a life of human generation, linked to the children of women who shuffle of to their deaths having led lives as the gods let them live.There is an affront in this portrait, surely; but the writing is such, as I hope that the excerpts show, that we go beyond confrontation with an alter-Mary, into the plethora of responses that Jesus in his manhood must have evoked. We have here the gospels at a slant, and the perspective fascinates by way of an invitation to reread and rethink the impact of one who said, I come not to bring peace but the sword.

For some time I have resented, and rejected, the popular depictions of Mary as an insipid woman who lacks spirit and even intelligence. I think of her as a strong woman; how else could she have endured what she did? The few references to her in the Gospels beyond the Annunciation and Nativity, are about all we have to go on. But her firm approach to Jesus, who at twelve announced that he had to be "about my father's business," says much about her insistence on her own authority in dealing with a pre-teen who was anxious to go his own way. Similarly, at the wedding feast at Cana, when Jesus said "what is that to you and to me?" regarding the host's running-out-of-wine dilemma, Mary just quietly told the waiters to obey Jesus' instructions. No ordering, begging or argument there. Jesus, now a grown man, apparently performed the water into wine miracle out of deference and respect for his mother.Colm Toibin's fictional picture of Mary as angry and disgusted makes no sense to me. But I think we do Mary a disservice by trying to make her into the sweet, obedient, yes person we typically see in our Marian literature.
I know I am not alone in my distaste for the passive, insipid Mary that Catherine describes so aptly. Tobin's work sounds like it simply wanders so far afield in its portrayal that it really isn't even an "alter-Mary, " but a person entirely unrelated to the historical Mary, and in that respect it might be interesting but not terribly helpful. Best artistic rendering I have seen of a Mary written "outside the lines" without severing all essential connection with the real Mary of Nazareth: BBC TV's 2008 production of "The Passion." She does not figure hugely in the story, but she packs a punch when she does appear. Very much worth watching, if only for this rare treat. I believe it can be watched piecemeal on You Tube; Amazon UK sells the DVD, but you need a region-free DVD player to use them (or a good computer drive). There was a plan at one ime ti bring it to HBO, but not sure that ever happened.
You really don't know Mary the Blessed Virgin Mother of God or You would be praying to her for protection from evil. See how powerfully and simply she showed the Children of Fatima the Vision of Hell, where poor souls go. It is the same place souls go who insult The MOTHER OF GOD, GO TO HELL UNREPENTANT, BECAUSE, "THE MEASURE U MEASURE OUT WILL BE MEASURED TO U" FOR ETERNITY, BECAUSE GOD IS ETERNAL.WITH JESUCRUX,MARY
I know Jesus will forgive you, but I think you're an sleazebag.
St Louis De Montfort said in his book devotion to the Blessed Virgin that in the last days the Blessed Mother would raise up an army to defend her honor and battle the heretics and haters of God.
The play's plot is offensive to all of Christianity and I suspect that's why it was written. Controversy sells. Colm Toibin, if he has real talent, might look to creating something that uplifts humanity in a world that sorely needs it.
I'm really sorry that the cranks got hold of this thread. I think Toibin's portrayal of Mary offers some fruitful ideas and invites contemplation. I wrote about it on my own blog here: http://thegrimreader.blogspot.com/2013/04/i-visit-blessed-virgin-in-turk...
Thank you for directing me to your blog post. The complications of the Incarnation are part of its mystery. "I bless when I understand."

Ext.data.Store proxy webservice soap
I would like to populate a grid with an array of type T where that array is the result of a call to a SOAP webservice. I tried ScriptTagProxy and HttPProxy to no avail. The grid itself shows ok but no data shows up. The webmethod is like foo[] getFoos() and works ok and does produce a non empty result set but how do I connect that to Ext.data.Store so that it shows in the grid? btw, a foo is just a string, I just call it bar.
Script code is like this:
var ds = new Ext.data.Store({
proxy: new Ext.data.ScriptTagProxy({url:
'local web service with with a foo[] getFoos() method'
reader: new Ext.data.ArrayReader({}, [
{name: 'bar', type: 'string'}
var cm = new Ext.grid.ColumnModel([
{header: "Bar", width: 120, dataIndex: 'bar'}
cm.defaultSortable = true;
var grid = new Ext.grid.Grid('grid-example', {
ds: ds,
cm: cm
19 Jun 2007 8:40 AM #2
In order to call a webservice, you need to be able to pass the method name and parms with the request - you can't just make a GET/POST request to an URL. You either have to build SOAP messages or if your server supports invoking a WS by doing something like myurl.com?method=getParms&arg1=foo&arg2=bar (.Net might allow something like this), you have to pass everything after the '?' as params.Tim Ryan

I just ran into this same issue... my web service is written in .NET 2.0, and I've seen posts floating around that you can call it like this:
But I've not been able to get mine to play nice with that type of url. It gives me Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/FunctionName'.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong, or how to fix this? Thanks!
21 Jun 2007 2:41 PM #4
Can you type that URL into a browser? I would think that something has to be configured in .Net to do that.Tim Ryan

Aha!! Got it...in your web.config file you have to add this section:
<add name="HttpPost" />
<add name="HttpGet" />
Add that to the <system.web> section and it will enable HttpGet and HttpPost methods of accessing your web service. At that point, the Grid binding worked perfectly!

Clean example of who to use ExtJs with Soap?
through my search how to use ExtJs to deal with Soap-Requests i found your threat here at this forum.
It seems that you've successfully solved your problem and i want to ask you if it is possible to get a clean example from you how to setup ExtJs-DataStore to deal directly with Soap!
The main thing of interesset for me is, how the DataStorage will invoke the remote function, send the parameters and handles the response.
Maybe if there are some links with tutorials this would help me also!
Thanx in advance

Ext.data.Store proxy webservice soap
five years,,,,, plz provide solution...
7 Apr 2012 2:21 PM #10
need also a solution for this.
even enterprise business applications make heavy use of soap web services, so soap is required to integrate important legacy systems. imho enterprise systems need up 10 years to support "new" solutions like jsonp ;-)

About FiduciaryNews.com
FiduciaryNews.com provides essential information, blunt commentary and practical examples for the ERISA/401k fiduciary, the individual trustee and the professional fiduciary. We do this through our own web-site (which you are looking at), our Twitter account (which provides direct links to fiduciary articles from other news organizations) and our LinkedIn Group (which offers a place for extended discussion in a wholly professional environment). Chris Carosa, a well-respected speaker, author, investor and entrepreneur with more 25 years of experience in the trust and investment industry, serves as chief contributor. Fiduciary News is a product of Pandamensional Solutions, Inc.
About Chris Carosa
Publishing Achievements: A long-time writer, speaker and researcher, Mr. Carosa founded the Mendon-Honeoye Falls-Lima Sentinel, a weekly suburban newspaper, before selling it in the early 1990's. In 1999, the former weekly columnist wrote his first book: "Due Diligence: The Individual Trustee's Guide to Selecting and Monitoring a Professional Investment Adviser," published by Ardman Regional Ltd. He followed that up by contributing a chapter to "Planning for the Affluent," published by Wolters Kluwer Law & Business in 2003. In 2005, his controversial paper, "The Emperor Exposed," won the highly coveted FPA Symposium Call-for-Papers competition for academic research. He has since had his articles published in other periodicals and, in 2009, began to collect his current and past writings for publication by FiduciaryNews.com. Aside from his industry reporting, Mr. Carosa also writes on the subjects of astronomy and space exploration as well as dabbling in fiction. He completed his first (unpublished) novel in 2005 and in 2008 he saw his stage play The Macaroni Kid, a musical comedy, produced before sold out community theater crowds. In 2012 he saw his second and third books. Published in April of that year, 401(k) Fiduciary Solutions – Expert Guidance for 401(k) Plan Sponsors on how to Effectively and Safely Manage Plan Compliance and Investments by Sharing the Fiduciary Burden with Experienced Professionals is intended for the plan sponsor and plan service provider audience. Dubbed "a vital reference tool for years to come…" the has received highly favorable reviews and has continually sold well since its original publication. Later that year, Mr. Carosa saw the publication of his book 50 Hidden Gems of Greater Western New York. The book offers a journey to and through some of the more fascinating events, people places and things of America's first frontier. The trailer and sneak peek alone make a look at the book's web site worth it.
Professional and Educational History: An industry veteran responsible for creating several mutual funds (including two nationally ranked funds he personally manages), starting a trust company as well as founding his own investment firm, Mr. Carosa regularly speaks at national and international conferences and is frequently quoted in the media on fiduciary and investment issues. He credits his experience as a popular AM disc jockey and sports broadcaster for his entertaining and engaging speaking style. Of course, his ability to connect to a variety of audiences can also be attributed to his broad academic background. Mr. Carosa received his undergraduate degree in Physics and Astronomy from Yale University and his MBA (finance and marketing concentration) from the Simon School at the University of Rochester. The Institute of Certified Bankers has designated Mr. Carosa a Certified Trust and Financial Advisor. He has also served as an adjunct faculty member for Medaille College where he taught both the introductory and investments courses as part of their financial planning track. He's also taught economics at SUNY @ Geneseo and astronomy at the University of Rochester. He is particularly intrigued by behavioral economics and continues to research the psychology of decision making.
Community Activities and Family: Mr. Carosa serves on numerous non-profit boards and, most recently, has been the motivating source behind AstronomyTop100.com, a global outreach project created in conjuction with the United Nations' International Year of Astronomy. He is happily married to beautiful Betsy and is blessed with three wonderful children. His hope is that all people achieve their lifetime dream. His own dream is to recreate in his basement a model railroad of Buffalo during its heyday in 1951 featuring steel operations, grain elevators and Class A passenger service… And to get his play produced on Broadway.

The city of Madrid has been put on a boil advisory following a turbidity level of 4.39 units earlier this morning. The standard allowed is 1 turbidity unit or less.
High levels of turbidity can interfere with disinfection and increase chances that the water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms may include bacteria, viruses and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches.
City staff is working on some filter media changes to resolve the problem, but expect the boil advisory to continue until the filter media can be replaced next week.
Residents should bring water to a boil, boil it for one minute and let it cool before using it for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth and preparing food. Tap water can be used for bathing and similar uses.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms. Bacteria in the water may pose greater health risks for infants, young children, some of the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.
Find more information at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline, 800-427-4791.
The city or DNR will notify residents when the water is safe to drink.

A post can be locked.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 16 '09 at 16:46
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
What does it mean to lock a post?
A question or answer which is locked can no longer accept:
In the case of locked questions, the (unlocked) answers are not bounded to these restrictions.
Locked posts can later be unlocked by moderators, or can be configured to be locked temporarily. Common temporary locking periods are 1 hour, 24 hours, or 1 week.
Who can lock a post?
Only diamond moderators can lock or unlock posts.
When should a post be locked?
Posts should generally only be locked in cases where something seriously bad is happening. In particular, where the ongoing updates and edits are actively detrimental to the system.
Some examples of when a post might be locked include:
Another type of locked post is a merged question. When a moderator merges two questions that are exact duplicates, all the answers are moved to one question and the other question is left as a "stub," with no answers. The stub question is locked.
What if I disagree with the lock applied to a post?
If you have a justifiable reason that a post should be unlocked, you should flag it for moderator attention using the "flag" link underneath the post. Select the "other" flag reason, and provide a detailed explanation of your rationale in the textbox provided.
A moderator will review your flag, and if they agree with your arguments, unlock the post.
Note that the above does not apply to posts that are locked due to historical significance, in which there is no option to flag.

I agree. It's a great phrase for an important idea. Possible sub-title: "Nothing New Under the Sun?"
Ray, you gotta write a book: A Quip with a Past. (I love that phrase!)
Alexandra, I certainly agree with your point that it is unlikely that Balanchine was under Kirstein's "influence" in any intellectual or aesthetic sense.
However, given Balanchine's leap of faith in crossing the Atlantic primarily on the basis of what Kirstein told him he would find here, and Kirstein's promises of what he would do to help, "dependency" does seem to me to ring a little true.
When I think about Balanchine's first months in New York City, I can hardly imagine how difficult and disorienting they must have been. The U.S. -- even cosmopolitan New York -- were removed from Europe (often definiing itself specifically in opposition to Europe) in ways we cannot imagine today.

Almost out of stock! Get 1 if you want 1 Wooters
Seems to be dead now.
darn! missed it!
check launchpadonline.com, theyve got all 3 accessories for $67 + $12 shipping
@designer218: could not find that deal. do you have a link?
Case: http://www.launchpadonline.com/Sales/Online_Shopping/View_Cart/view_cart.html
Keyboard: http://www.launchpadonline.com/Sales/Online_Shopping/View_Cart/view_cart.html
Dock: http://www.launchpadonline.com/Sales/Online_Shopping/View_Cart/view_cart.html
Add them individually for a total of $67 + $13 shipping is what I am seeing as of now.
you change the shipping at the last minute (there's a big dropdown with the "will-call" option as well)
also you might just want to browse to the frame itself:
Touchstone $30
Case $13
Wireless Keyboard $24
Is this a legit website?
well, i put in my order at 4PM and though it went through, they haven't charge d my card, so thats a plus. i got the original link from the touchpad slickdeals wiki, but they'd sold out the touchpad itself by then. i stuck around for a bit and found the accessories
Looks good. Setting up an account and checkout are a little slow, but my order's in. If you have multiple touchpads, an additional set of accessories is only another $1 shipping.
Not encouraging info about usm.channelonline here: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/YourUpLink_usm_channelonline . It's confusing though about what sellerthey are talking about.
@mconrad: thanks for that heads up. Info is confusing but I am definitely concerned. Called them, could not get anyone live so I sent an email inquiry. May have to cancel my order.
In for 1.
I bought one from Adorama last night, they said they had stock but cancelled it this morning although their website STILL says it's in stock. The email cancelling it said they would "back order" it. I call BS. Why are they still selling an item they do not have and will most likely NOT get back in stock? Also reported them to WOT.
No one wants the aggravation that occurred with purchasing the Touchpads that OnSale and B&N did. Add Adorama to that list for Touchstone.
@mconrad: as far as I can see, channelonline is a storefront manager for various sites, and the complaints at your link are about other companies that use channelonline. Remember the products themselves are being sold by "launchpadonline"
It looks like The Launch Pad is legit at least. They're Microsoft certified(according to Microsoft) and the website has been around for 12 years.

thank you @mukimuki for the (somewhat) re-assurance.. the links you posted don't seem to really support the safety of the site, but i just sent an order and waiting to see if the order will go through.. my costcentral order got cancelled so this is the next best thing since every electronic store in the SF Bay Area is sold out of accessories...
just an update, my order is still being processed, but my credit card has no pending charges or preauthorizations
well, the hammer fell, they canceled my accessories order
@designer218: Me too. e-mail I received:
"Thank you for your recent order for the HP Touchpad. If you are receiving this email, the item that you ordered is out of stock and your order has not been processed. Because of the volume of orders that could not be fulfilled we have set your entire order to "No Process" and this means the order will not bill and will self-cancel within 15 days. So any additional items, particularly HP TouchPad accessories which have zero stock available, will not be processed on that order.
We appreciate your patronage. Please accept our sincere apology for any inconvenience or confusion that this may have caused.
The Launch Pad Sales Team"
Since my order was for accessories only, I assume that's what they mean to say.
On the other hand, my order is still alive on their site.... don't see anything about "No Process".

Walking and swimming are ideal forms of prenatal exercise for most women. Check out this list of exercise do's and don'ts. and discuss your exercise routine with your doctor. Also, remember to do the one exercise that every expectant mom should be doing: kegels.

There is no universal answer to this, as there are many ways of indicating emphasis in plain text. Your best bet is to read the submission guidelines of the publication that you're submitting to, as each may have different requirements.
In the case of Daily Science Fiction, they have a page of story formatting guidelines. As far as I can tell, they don't want any formatting at all.
Emphasis mine:
I would personally find this somewhat strange, but defying submission guidelines is a certain means to have your story rejected out of hand. If I were submitting to this magazine, I'd look for a way to get clarification on this.
However, in general: Read the submission guidelines. Every publication may have slightly different ones.
Either underscores or asterisks around the words, I would think. All-caps run the risk of being printed in all-caps.
In a modern wiki-age, we should use the MarkDown convention, in our plain text scripts if our scripts require textual emphasis or augmentation that plain text would otherwise be incapable of expressing.
MarkDown is the very formatting you will use in posting on StackOverflow/StackExchange.
Experienced wiki authors do not even need a wiki-editor and could write MarkDown in plain text and texted over a phone or to their blog. Just like an aged and effectively deaf Beethoven who could still write phenomenal movements as he was able to "picture" the sounds of his arrangements.
Get used to it and you will find it a very convenient skill. It's not even a "skill". It does not require much skill to read or write it - the reason why it was invented.
In fact, I think Congress (of the United States) should have a bill to have all plain text documents requiring formatting be henceforth written in MarkDown.

Started programming when I was 10. Never made it my profession but always programmed, mostly with Excel VBA for finance, and for some simple front-end web design in the early 2000's (ie. no jquery back then, what a pain it was with DHTML). One day, I get the idea of outsourcing the web development of my start-up: total cacacacacacacafukkkk! So: from VBA to C# .NET and Javascript in 5,000 pages of programming books, and lots of Stackoverflow! I think asking dumb questions is a smart way to learn.

I don't know a single thing about them.
A 6.5 STW would be pretty sweet.
Posted 24 January 2008 - 07:32 PM
The barrel will finished at 30" and yes brake will add to that length. I decided to chamber the rifle in 338/300 Ultra. My gunsmith is not comfortable chambering it to 338 Lapua. I could send it out of state but my gunsmith does a very excellent work, so I'll have him do it. Anyway, the two cartridge is almost identical in performance.
DF, how long are you going to have that barrel cut? Are you going to add a brake
Posted 25 January 2008 - 03:17 PM
Posted 25 January 2008 - 06:27 PM
Oh yes I can! There's no doubt the STW series of cartridges has more velocity when compared with the equivalent standard cartridges, but when you look at those numbers, you can see that they're not that significant. Let's compare for example the 7MM STW and the 7MM Remington Mag. Using my Nosler #4 Reloading Manual as reference. The 7 MM STW will launched the 175 Partition at 3032 fps on 73.5 grain of IMR-7828. The 7MM Remington Magnum on the other hand can launched the same bullet at 2950 fps on 65 grains of IMR-7828... a difference of 82 fps. Here's the beef. The 7MM STW will burn 13% more powder for a modest gain of 2.7% more in velocity. A case of diminishing return. Now let's look at ballistic. At 500 yards the STW will drop 43.4" from a 100 yards zero and will carry an energy of 1840 ft/lb. The Remington Mag will drop 46.3" and will have 1729 ft/lb energy remaining at 500 yards. A difference of 2.9" in elevation and 111 ft/lb in energy... at the expense of what? heavy recoil, wash-out barrel and probably a bad case of flinching. No! thanks Layne
you can't argue with the velocity numbers those cartridges are capable of putting out.

The problem with a lot of this gun rags is that they have an agenda to sell magazines. In return, they get paid for it, get to hunt for free, and get freebies from manufacturers by pushing their products. If I'm in their shoes, I'll probably do the same thing. Others for reason of vanity, create their own wildcat, to get people excited, and sell more magazines in return. A lot of people will buy into these hype, especially those that are new to the sport. This won't work with the older and more experienced shooter though... who had been there and done that. A lot of these cartridges will weathered away, fade into obscurity, and nothing will be heard of them afterwards.
He's been around the block a time or two so I don't have a problem takeing his word for it,

Parent cartridge is not a right term since the the 338 Win Mag was spawned by the development of 458 Winchester Magnum, which is nothing more than a shortened 375 H&H cartridge shortened to fit the Model 70 action. The 338 Ultra on the other hand, is a totally new cartridge, developed by Remington based on the 404 Jeffry case. Clamp, don't get me wrong here. I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just stating my opinion and the fact... that's all. cheers, buddy
As for the .338s, I just threw those in because I know you're a fan of the .338 ultra and thought that showing you that the gains that it produces over it's parent cartridge are about the same as a cartridge that you weren't a fan of.

No worries, I am the king of hijacking a thread. Besides, my question got answered so it's fair game. It looks like Pac-Nor chambers 338 Lapua so I just need to decide what contour I want to go with. I don't want to go too crazy with it as I'll probably take it out to shoot a deer or other critter with it... I can't help but wanting to hunt with what I've got.I am going to do this one slowly one piece at a time, so I won't have it complete any time soon. That will give me time to work out what I want / need.
I'm sorry too Heath.
Posted 27 January 2008 - 10:17 PM
This is exactly what my dilemma on this build. Weight is an issue but not the deciding factor. This is going to be a specialized long range rig capable of harvesting games at considerable distance. This rifle is going to be fed with a steady diet of 300 SMK. At 2900 fps, the Sierra with a B.C of .780 will remain supersonic up to 1700 yards and still retain an energy of over 1000lbs. With 100 yards zero, it would take 57 MOA of elevation to get there. No coyote will be safe within a mile radius. Heath, let me know if I of any help.

CD, That's still under consideration. I could do either. With slight modification on the 700 reciever I could install Wyatt extended magazine that could house cartridges with an OAL of 3.820. I really like the 338 Lapua route due to better quality brass but my gunsmith never chambered one using the Model 700 Action. He is kind of leery about it. A friend however have a reamer for 338/300 Ultra Mag that he ordered when he built his. Actually the 338/300 Ultra has 3% more water capacity than the 338 Lapua. His rig can easily reach 2850 on a 30" K&P barrel using the 300 SMK without pressure sign whatsoever. I believe I could top that with my 30" Mike Rock Barrel using a much slower powder like he Reloader 25 or the Retumbo. He used IMR 7828. I'll be happy with 2900 fps. I have everything except the action. I want this rifle ready for A zone opening day this year.
That will be one helluva rig. Will it be a repeater or a single shot?

New Jersey Rails Lag in Recovery
NJ Transit, PATH Still Hobbled, Angering Commuters
The quick recovery of New York City's subway and rail system has been one of the few success stories in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy. But nearly two weeks after the storm hit, another vital commuting network has failed to bounce back: New Jersey.
NJ Transit and PATH trains, which carry a combined average of 532,000 passengers on a normal weekday, have been knocked out completely or put on limited service. Regular riders have tried to jam onto the few available trains, tried their luck on ferries or turned to bus lines, leading to long waits, packed stations and flared tempers.
There has been no timetable for the full return of either system, exacerbating the anger of commuters who say they watched the Metropolitan Transportation Authority offer regular and reliable updates of New York City subway's restoration.
NJ Transit and PATH are operated by different entities. NJ Transit is run by an agency controlled by the governor, while the PATH is overseen by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Officials with both agencies blame the problems on Sandy's unprecedented scope and power.
"I can't give you a timetable," said Mike Marino, the superintendent of way and structures for PATH, as he stood Friday in the lower Manhattan side of a tunnel where workers are pumping roughly one million remaining gallons from one of the tubes that heads to Jersey City. "You've got to respect that because I've never seen this kind of devastation in my career. We'll do our best, but there's a lot of work here."
The PATH has 6-foot-high floodgates throughout the system, but record-high storm surges easily topped them. Underground security barriers meant to protect the World Trade Center might have sealed off the tunnelsman. But their yearslong installation process wasn't yet finished when the storm hit on Oct. 29.
Service from Hoboken and below 14th Street in Manhattan—including to the new PATH station at the rebuilt World Trade Center site—has been dark.
The railroad must finish pumping one of the two tubes linked to lower Manhattan, scrub down the caked salt from rails, and disassemble and repair dozens of switches, signals, power structures and other machinery inundated by Sandy's flooding.
At the same time, NJ Transit has been hobbled by extensive flooding at a rail yard in Kearny, N.J., where brackish, corrosive harbor water damaged 65 locomotives and 257 passenger cars—almost a third of the fleet.
The agency has faced criticism for not moving its trains to higher ground before the storm. A spokeswoman said the Kearny yard had never been in the path of previous floods. "This is not our first storm," NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder said. "We are trained individuals and we know where to put our equipment. There's really no way we could have prepared for it any better than we did."
Despite rider anger, the agency got a vote of approval from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Friday, when he said the railroad had done "an amazing job" cobbling together a replacement system of public and private buses—including 350 shipped in by the U.S. Department of Transportation—and a free ferry service.
"The press has a be-nice phase and the second-guessing phase," Mr. Christie said. "You can second-guess all you want. This was the worst storm in the state's history."
The state will review preparedness for disasters at the transit agency, he said.
Storm surges wrecked other parts of the system. The rail operations center, also in Kearny, was flooded in the storm, damaging power and train control systems. At vital interchanges, including the junction that allows the railroad to send its Midtown Direct service from the suburbs straight to Penn Station, tracks were hurt. Boats and a trailer were washed against the Morgan Drawbridge on the North Jersey Coast Line in South Amboy.
NJ Transit is also hamstrung by its dependence on the two tunnels it shares with Amtrak beneath the Hudson River. Only one has returned to service since the storm, limiting the number of trains that can pass under the river. The Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak are now sharing three of the four tunnels under the East River, and there is more frequent service from Long Island into Manhattan.
A Port Authority official blamed geography. PATH was able to preserve its cars from damage by storing them in Harrison and on rail bridges in Newark, but NJ Transit was more exposed. Much of the local territory controlled by both agencies is low-lying, unlike the MTA, which had the ability to move subway and commuter trains farther out of the path of the water.
The limited rail has been great for the bus business, said Mark Leo, corporate secretary for Lakeland Buses, a private line that has seen its daily ridership triple and quadruple thanks to a surge of NJ Transit's rail riders. The railroad is reimbursing the bus line for carrying its riders.
"It's great for our business," he said. "But we only have so many buses and so many drivers. We're just doing the best we can until the trains open. It's been very crowded."
Hundreds have formed a snaking line outside the Summit stop in New Jersey every morning, waiting for the bus. Inside the Port Authority Friday afternoon, at least 300 people waited for buses inside Lakeland's fourth floor terminal, in a line that stretched through the terminal all the way to the escalators.
Nicolle Peterson, 23, who lives in Florham Park, said her commute home was four hours Thursday. "We spent three hours just getting to the Lincoln Tunnel," she said. Otherwise, her commute had typically lasted about two hours, or an hour longer than the trains.
But the line was moving quickly, as it does most days, said Rebecca Madson, a Columbia University employee. Ms. Madson, 27, said the service had been "much better than I expected." She's left her home about 45 minutes earlier each morning to miss the traffic snarls. "But I set my expectations very, very low," she said.

I want to know the approach in developing big complex application regardless of which programming language to use. I want to know how developers make such big applications such as internet banking, API's and big database management application. How should one approach to make such applications. I have only 1 year programming experience so far and I work as a freelancer so when I saw such applications lots of questions came in my mind. How to understand the basic need of information technology. What actually it is? How it can be useful for common people of small towns. I want everyone to make use of technology no matter they are educated or not, rich or not. Please post some suggestions.

In one word: Modularity.
You build large software systems by composing them from smaller building blocks. You do that by using techniques such as Object Orientation. Each object is a complete, testable software unit in its own right. When combined, each of these objects communicates messages between itself and other objects, creating a complete, coherent system.
Getting good at this takes awhile, because you have to figure out what each object is responsible for, and how it fits in with the rest of the system.
Think about how a car is built. A car is a system, composed of smaller subsystems like the engine, the electrical and fuel systems. The engine, in turn, is built up from components like the pistons, crankshaft and valves, and it is supported by an ignition system, a cooling system and a lubrication system. The ignition system has spark plugs, wires, a coil, etc. While the entire system is enormously complex, nothing is particularly difficult to understand if you look at its components, and how they work together.
Software works the same way. You have methods, variables and keywords inside classes. You instantiate objects from these classes. You have objects that are factories that can create other objects, objects that manipulate collections of other objects, object that act as proxies, and so forth.
You learn how to build these larger systems by learning how to write smaller programs (or smaller parts of larger systems) first, and then combining those smaller parts into larger systems.
What you're talking about are the concepts of Software Engineering. It's difficult to really condense all you need to know into a single SO comment, when there are series of books written on the subject and it is indeed a field of its own. Here's some books you can look into to get you started, and coupled with your education should set you on the right path:
First of all you should Ignore Coding until you fully understand the Requirements.
The phases of software development
This is a very wide question, with no one ready-made answer. I'll try to answer nonetheless, but my answer will be as vague as the question. I'll assume nonetheless that you are asking about how to build a large app on your own or with a colleague. Large teams are something totally different.
Above all, read, read, read, and apply, apply, apply, create your own stuff and push forward for more optimized code, better standards, and whatever the language you choose, try to push it to the max. And don't listen to the "don't reinvent the wheel" thing. DO reinvent the wheel, just not when you are working for a client. If you are on a professional project, use whatever you can to make it work. But on your personal projects, build everything from the ground up. Then look up the source of similar projects and see how they did it.
Then throw everything away because what you did is most likely going to be crap the first 100 times. Rinse and repeat.
Practice makes somewhat better, after a few years (2 to 4), you should be able to manage even a very large project by yourself. But you have to be wanting to do it from day one. If you only try to build little stuff for 4 years, you won't get there.
Try to manage to have a life beside all that, because fresh air, friends and going out make it all better.
There are different kind of complexity, usually two types, a complexity caused by the addition of stuff that doesn't strictly belongs to our purpose or the nature of what are you doing ( like when you add some lines of code later on just to add some functionality that you didn't have planned to give to your app ), and what is usually called "the complexity of engineering" that means that the system that you have to design probably requires a lots of elements and many connections between those just to run.
The thing is that you can't really face this kind of problems without a solid base that only a college degree can give to you. We are talking about an intensive use of the math, basic and high level notions about both the hardware and the software.
What you can easily understand is the use of some good companion like the UML language that is really useful and powerfull especially during the design process, without talking about any specific languages you just can have a big picture in front of you. Other good things are the versioning systems like Mercurial and Git that are especially used when you are working in team with other people, you can also browse every IDE is made for your language and decide what is the most appropriate for your needs.
But this are only tips, you have to build your know-how reading some books and applying something in the real world, a good book for a start can be one about algorithms and data structure.
A good language to start from is Java, a good Java project with a good design can be Android with its own system classes; try to learn Java and analyze the design of this big project in UML to begin to understand what it's like to design a very big project and what you have to care about. The design it's all about how different languages can have the same business logic and what the user is allowed to know and do, and with some languages you also have to care about some performance issues but this is something that you can learn in a college not on the internet.
I would have a look to an existing similar project and see if it works well. You do't need the full code but java executable jar file could also be reversed. Be aware you are not allowed to reverse jar file in US, but you can do it in Europe and other countries so..
If the architecture is ok, then copy the static architecture (e.g. package, classes etc....) and then just code the business rules. A good start is to reverse engineer the existing project into an UML model and then generate again the code in java. There is no more code copyright if you do that.
Once you have a static architecture you check if the requirements are possible and add new classes at class diagram level. You show your class diagram to the project manager and talk about the architecture. Once this is validated then you start codding. After the first stage codding you show the class diagrams and a small demo and ask the project manager if it is ok. You take into consideration his demands. You always use a graphical representation of your code in order to get all the team involved in decisions and possible changes.
One more iteratiion, class diagrams updated with a code merge and manager demo. Change again and again. After few week it will almost be perfect and everybody will be happy :-)
Your question is a big question include many aspect. But I think the first you should be understand good and bad which each language and what`s situation best of this language using. And then according to business requirement to decide which language you could use. And next you should be understand this language about detail.

I've never heard of kettlebells until the last couple of years. It seems that they've kind of exploded recently, and a ton of people are extolling the virtues of these things. I've heard that they were popular in Eastern Europe for a long time, and have recently broken out to the rest of the world. My question is why are they so popular? What can they do that a regular dumbbell can't?

The quick spread and breakout of popularity has to do with the general mindset shift of Western training to a more Eastern training and fitness. In the West people have always trained to "look good" by isolating certain muscles i.e. bicep curls and machines that focus on a specific muscle, in contrast a Eastern regime is more functionally geared and involves compound movements with the use of kettlebells. Kettlebells DO NOT isolate muscles unlike a traditional dumbbell. IMO
The kettlebell craze is not about the tool, it's about the movements.
The most basic movement with a kettlebell is swinging it between your legs, both as an exercise of its own, the kettlebell swing, and to enable high repetition full body exercises to get some really good cardio during your resistance training. Also, this movement is excellent training for your posterior chain, giving kettlebells a reputation to produce buttocks of steel and healthy backs.
Kettlebell Exercises tend to build functional strength by using many muscles together, not pumping up single muscles by isolating them. The fact that the center of gravity of the weight is not in your hand, requiring that extra effort to stabilize the bell, also gets more muscles involved.
If you're not interested in the kettlebell school of movement, you don't need kettlebells. Here are some example videos of what it looks like.
Concerning timing, the reason kettlebells have been getting popular these last years is that Pavel Tsatsouline, the man who started it, did so in 1998 by writing a article called "Vodka, Pickle Juice, Kettlebell Lifting, and Other Russian Pastimes", later founding the RKC organisation, training kettlebell instructors, producing kettlebells in the US and so on. Kettlebells have been popular in Russia for a long time, Pavel brought them to the US.
