Has Ellis' improved productivity hurt the psyche of Brandon Jennings? Has playing 'second fiddle' to his backcourt mate changed his scoring role on the team?
Just wondering.Hide replies
I don't think so. It seems Jennings wants to play good basketball, just doesn't always work out.
Ellis is heating up, and the rotation is slowly coming around.
Bucks are in playoff position, so I'm ready to ride out whatever the Bucks give me, as long as they don't fall off.
Fritzi hopes that Mr. Phenom doesn't go into a Super-Funk if he is again snubbed at All Star time like last year. Especially if Mr. Monstah gets the nod.
Fritzi and Schatzi would like to take this time to wish You and Yours a safe and prosperous New Year as Fritzi will be playing with the 'Big Joe, Traveling Polkas All-Stars' tonight @ the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Hey!!!!!! how about that Mr. Charles Venezuela, last night, I believe he hit some of those shots from 8 Mile?
I agree. Jennings is a shoot first PG more interested in playing where the lights shine brightly on him.
Congrats Monta! He has played well. The trade seems to be working out Milwaukee's way. I don't see Bogut playing this year.Hide replies
Bogut is slated to come back after the 1st of the year.
Bogut is ALWAYS slated to be back after the first of the year....
He uses a Mayan calender........
Glad to see him playing well. I think the majority of the speculation has Ellis being moved before the deadline. I don't think that the Bucks have a contender with the backcourt they have. Its fun, but over 82 games, I think that it will be exposed.
But I was thinking. . . what if the Bucks moved the other part of the backcourt - Jennings. Could he bring pieces like Burks and Favors from Utah or some other combination that included a bigger guard and a prospect?Hide replies
There's no way Utah is including Favors in a deal for Jennings. All reports indicate that they plan to build around Favors and Kanter.
There are other teams that would be more interested in Jennings than Utah, and Utah would be more likely to trade a Millsap or a Jefferson.
I like Burks, but since he's largely unproven, would want something else. Elither Milsap or Jefferson would be fine. Those contracts expire anyway. Then, the Bucks get to keep Burks and have more cap space. One of two things will happen with Jennings: they let him go or they get suckered into matching an unfavorable offer sheet. They are just getting out from under years of bad contracts dating back to Michael Redd. I'm really hoping that they don't make the same mistakes again - paying "great player" contracts to "good" players.
I like the comments above too about Dalembert . . . I do think he has value and will also get moved. Skiles should be fired for not getting Sanders 35 mins a night. How will the Bucks ever know if their young players can play at the NBA level if they are always sitting on the bench (Harris, Henson).
Unless Skiles duct tapes Larry's arms down, he is never going to 35 minutes per night. Only rookie Mo Harkless is keeping from #1 fouls per game.
What exactly do you think the Bucks can get for Jennings? I think you guys are shooting a bit high. I don't think the Bucks would get much. They are certainly not getting Milsap or Jefferson. Jennings is an average-to-good point guard. I think Jennings is going to be very disappointed when he sees what others will offer in free agency after the season. I am thinking something like 4 / 32, in which case the Bucks will match it and he will stay in Milwaukee.
Never said anything about Jennings for those guys, I had a long time ago said Ellis for Millsap. That would work.
Jennings would be tougher to value because he has a smaller contract and would have to be traded for someone with a similar contract, or have someone more expensive (Drew?) included.
That is all.
I think he could, but the question is would the Bucks move him. I would love to have Alec Burks and the Bucks like him too. I think when he was drafted the Bucks worked him and Brooks out twice and Burks had some breakfast with the Coaches and Kohl I thought I remember reading. That would be a deal to make but dont think they will.
I highly doubt Utah is trading Millsap for Ellis, even if the Bucks were also willing to take Bell's contract, too. Utah already has a deep backcourt, and Millsap is better than Ellis. I think the Bucks stick with Ellis and Jennings, in part because neither has much trade value.
What makes you say that neither have trade value? I think they both do, although each in their own way.
There are very few teams where Jennings is a clear upgrade at the point. That is why he doesn't have much trade value. I can't imagine Detroit is giving up on Knight this quickly, and a trade within the division is unlikely. Jennings is better than Nelson in Orlando. But Orlando still owes Nelson a lot of money, so they are not trading for Jennings. Utah, Miami and Sacto don't have very good point guards. But what are they going to deal to the Bucks to get Jennings? There just isn't a match.
And what team is going to trade for Ellis? He's a small shooting guard who dominates the ball. On top of that, he's almost surely going to become a free agent, which means a team trading for him would only get him for the rest of this season, so only playoff contenders (or a team that wants to dump a bad salary) would have interest. What playoff contender is dealing for him?
I guess I'm coming around to think that instead of moving Ellis, we ought to pair him with a Steady Eddy point guard. Someone he respects. At the very minimum the two ought to be separated more often.Hide replies
Jennings trade value is not high enough to warrant a deal. I doubt the Bucks will make any moves. The Bucks have a draft-and-develop philosophy. Sanders has developed. Jennings has actually developed, just not at a pace satisfactory for Bucks fans. Also, according to a report on ESPN, Bucks can save $5 million by cutting Dalembert before January 10. That's the one move I'd expect them to make.
I have admit, I thought [BNK] would have brought that info to this message board [Badgers] but that's valued information, good to know. Could be a very good reason why his trade value has been limited.
I guess we'll soon find out which is more important to the Bucks, cash or big man insurance.
Doesn't he have a guaranteed contract? Why do you hardly ever see NBA players just cut? Even Lamar had to sit festering last year when he wasn't worth a tenth of Sam. Don't you think the Celtics would trade something for a guy who just last year was a top 15 rebounder and an historically great shot blocker? In other words, I need a link to your source.
That a boy [BNK]. I knew your research team would investigate.
I am not on this blog enough to know if you guys are serious about your "sources" comments. If so, you might want to dial it back a bit. It's just the Bucks. Here is the story:
"There's a lot of big guys," Skiles tells the Journal Sentinel. "If we continue to win games, he (Dalembert) is in a tough spot. Larry's been really productive. Ekpe does a nice job. Luc came back and we're still in a bit of a search to have Ersan be consistent. It's hard to play five or six big guys in one game."
Dalembert is in his final season under contract and the Bucks will likely shop him up to the Feb. 21 trade deadline. They could also release him prior to Jan. 10 as only $1.5 million of his $6.69 million 2012-13 salary is guaranteed.
Fritzi thinks that there may be a new Deputy in town and it aint Mr. Bubble Puppy?
Gooden for Stuckey?
Dream on.
Fritzi really used to like the Stuckey's on Hy 41, he'd trade 1,000 Mr. Goodbars for 1 pecan praline.
Why in the world do we need Stuckey, and I like Stuckey. I would like to get Jonas Jerebko from them who isn't playing much and even he is a guy would be a surplus and another PF. Plus you dont want to do deals in your own division but Hammond does so I dont know...
39% shooting and only 5.8 assists per game? I'd like a much better shooting % AND more assists per game from my point guard.
I was looking for someone with size who could stabilize our backcourt especially on those nights when we play another team with a little size in the backcourt. That has been a problem in the past you know.
Everything you ever wanted to know about DeMarcus Cousins, the latest blog crush:

Why the need to bring up Demarcus Cousins?
Who wrote that? I couldn't read that stuff or finish it.He should get to the point. That had my head spinning after the second paragraph! At which I stopped.What was his point?
Well deserving.
I am not sure what is wrong with the Bucks. They can beat the elite teams in the NBA but struggle against teams they should blow out.
Gott correct that ASAPHide replies
Young and immature led by Brandon Jennings!
Monta Ellis is the closest thing that Milw> has had to a legit NBA baller in
quite some time.
Dealing and getting past his shooting efficiency is a big part
of the challange as a fan. This guy makes it happen all by himself, and his
drive and dish is a thing of beauty. IMO he still struggles with the omni-present
shooting woes, and can be responsible for a few too many 'empty possessions'.
Yet, thats all part of the balance that is this cat. I admit (sorry ccr) that
I just cannot rid myself of his wanting to depart the team pledge seemingly shared at various times of his stay by family/friends/crew. That has kept me from seeing him beyond this year, let alone making it to All Star break. Another problem this club faces is some vision; knowing how Ellis does or doesnt' fit is key unless this franchise is prepared to lose him for nothing.
The Sammy D> thing, the Monta quandry, and what in the world to do with Jennings
can all be quelled in the weeks to come. Or not>
*****Hide replies
Once again you are blowing his shooting woes out of proportion. That is just incredulous on how you focus on that. Players all around the league go through slumps. This team is over .500. If they were 10 games under then I would side with you. But he makes up for that by getting to the line and hitting FT's and getting in the paint and creating for others to get easy baskets. Sometimes he has to shoot and put up shots even when he is not hitting so the defense can play him honest and leave someone else open. Because he handles the ball he has to shoot whether he is hot or not to be able to create for others. if we had a Superstar to dump it down to...then that is different. If he was a ballhog that is different but he is not. Why can't you see that? he has to shoot...on this team the way it is constructed and so does jennings.
Kstein is not the only one focusing on Ellis' shooting woes, look around. There are a handful of players with Usage Rates as high as Monta (he is 12th, right between Harden and Wade), but he is the only one that high (except for Josh Smith) who ranks so low in points per shot (109th out of 120 qualifiers).>>>> BTW, CCR: Bargnani is 119th!
The other thing going against Ellis is that the Bucks already have another guy who is just about the same. Rudy Gay is inefficient, but he doesn't cost his team the same way, because he is balanced by Z-Bo and Gasol. The Bucks don't have that balance, and never will as long as they are built around Ellis and Jennings
Please re-read the piece {Nut} with this number in hand....39%.
Note how the piece begins by giving said player the necessary accolades
to suggest this observer appreciates the man in part because of the
Skill-set-Tool-Belt that He wears. Hence, "Legit NBA Baller"
Doesn't get any better then that. I did not laundry list the virtues just
assumed the reader, knowing what a 'baller' brings, knew this?
If the Bucks are going to continue to be a 'spread the floor / move the ball /
best shot goes up / then, Mr. Ellis simply must increase his --39%--
shooting (which I recognize as a career low) as he relies a great deal on
his jump shot from all areas of the floor. This Bucks team who runs a
perimeter-offense by philosophy sure seems to have sh*tty outside shooters illustrated time and again with stats, data, and the Game of
the Night scorecard. I've made a habit, on most nights, to post the
shooting average of the team (FG/3's/FT) post game; a reflection of that
nights 3-18, and 4-19 shooting by the guards.
When they shoot less from a shorter range, drive n dish, slash n pass, and related guard-like skills, and encourage more team effort good things have happened.
The better he plays the bigger the quandry the Bucks are in. This current regime can't afford to move him unless it yields an equal talent. Not likely in my opinion. He plays well and he's coveted next year, mediocre play and maybe he signs on one more year for the $11 mil. History tells me his shooting improve in the second half of the season. How he shares time on the floor with Jennings needs to be addressed.Should be able to have at least 12 minutes a game they're not both out there. Inthe end it's the production at the 3 that hampers this team more than anything.
Sure looking like a great trade that got rid of Bogut and we got Ellis. Team leader so far.Hide replies
Oft times just feels like a 'loner car'.
Monta Ellis...part time Maserati for the season...then, ?
Same with Brandon Jennings.
Absolutely. A boon of a trade. I loved it at the time and got kicked off a site for saying it but I am sticking by it. It was a great trade. He has 2 X the impact of the guy we moved for him because he can stay healthy and make others around him better. And the guy we got rid of Larry Sanders has replaced him in many ways. That is up to you if you agree but it is true. Monta Ellis is playing some great ball and making an impactful change in how this team looks and plays.
I've come to enjoy *Frank Madden's* pieces at the BrewH>.
His latest is a take off from his Recent Award. Here are the last three parag>
"...So while it might be fashionable to conclude otherwise, I just don't see the Bucks' struggles in Ellis' best games as evidence of Monta the Irredeemable. There's other evidence for that, namely the poor scoring efficiency he's posted year after year, but if we're going to rag on Ellis we might as well do it for the right reasons. And if we want to know why the Bucks have lost when Ellis has shined, we should probably start with Brandon Jennings.
In the five games in which Ellis has scored 30 this season, Jennings has been almost impossibly bad: 23.0% shooting (17/74), 9.2 ppg, and 5 apg. So basically any benefit from Ellis scoring effectively has been more than offset by Jennings' struggles. But I'd again warn against confusing causation and correlation. Is there something about Ellis playing well that makes it hard for Jennings to do the same? Ellis isn't the one missing 77% of his shots, so again I'll absolve him of practical blame. In fact, Jennings' 14.8 shots in those games is only slightly under his seasonal average, so it's not like Brandon's been been prevented from finding a rhythm.
What it does suggest is that Jennings is as wildly erratic as ever, and for the fourth time in as many seasons there have been more bad shooting nights than good ones. The issue isn't so much Jennings' scoring drop (17.6 ppg this year vs. 19.1 last year), but that he's taken a step back from his already-mediocre scoring efficiency in spite of shooting less. Both his raw fg% and true shooting percentage have dropped by 2% this season, which given his high usage rate has made it that much more difficult for the Bucks to score points effectively." //
Some very serious, and very honest questions simply must be asked
before re-signing BJ?
"Makes Those Around Him Better?"

Is there something in BJ's makeup that makes it difficult to feel energized unless he is the focus? Is there not enough sunlight here for both of our precious flowers? He only does seem to have those two speeds, doesn't he?

A collaboration between Jorge Pardo, whose work Project (2000) transformed Dia´s ground floor with a renovation of its lobby, bookshop, and first-floor gallery, and Italian artist Gilberto Zorio is on view at Dia throughout its 2001–2002 season. Interwoven into Pardo´s Project
and partially enveloped by his new monumental curtain is Microfonia, a sound work first created by Zorio in 1969.
For "Reverb,"Microfonia which comprises a number of microphones into which visitors can speak– has been installed throughout the Project space. The microphones collect both direct speech and ambient noise, which are electronically mixed and fed back to the site, changing the experience of the space. Pardo´s monumental curtain, which hangs on a labyrinthine track, also rearticulates the gallery, as it, too, invites the visitor to intervene in defining the spatial experience.
Wednesday through Sunday, 12 noon to 6 pm
September 12, 2001 – June 17, 2002
First floor, Dia Center for the Arts, 548 West 22nd Street (between 10th and 11th avenues)
Jorge Pardo was born in 1963 in Havana, Cuba, and moved to the United States as a young child. He earned his BFA at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and currently resides in Los Angeles. Throughout his career, Pardo has mixed work devised for traditional museum spaces with artistic pursuits sited in other venues. In 1997, he held a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. This followed a substantial commission to create a café for the Leipzig Messe, in Germany, in 1996. In 1999, at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, Pardo renovated the reception spaces and mounted an exhibition. His large-scale work ranges from a temporary pier for Sculptur Projekte Münster in 1997, which subsequently became permanent, to a house, 4166 Sea View Lane, which he presented in 1998 in the context of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Born in 1944 near Turin, Italy, Gilberto Zorio studied art at the Accademia de Belle Arti, in Turin. He exhibited his work in key shows of Arte Povera in 1967 and 1968 and mounted his first solo exhibition at the Galleria Sperone, Turin, in 1967. A 1976 exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Lucerne was followed by a retrospective of the artist´s work at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, in 1979. A later retrospective, organized in 1985 by the Kunstverein, Stuttgart, traveled to the Musée National d´Art Moderne, in Paris; the Centre d´Art Contemporain, in Geneva; and the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, in Eindhoven. Currently, Zorio´s work is included in the exhibition of Arte Povera at Tate Modern, in London. He lives and works in Turin.
General admission to Dia is $6; $3 students and seniors; free for members and children under 10
A tax-exempt charitable organization established in 1974, Dia has become one of the largest organizations in the United States dedicated to contemporary art and culture. In fulfilling this commitment, Dia sustains diverse programming in the visual arts, as well as in poetry, education, and critical discourse and debate. Exhibition hours during the 2001 – 2002 season are Wednesday through Sunday, 12 noon to 6 pm, from September 12, 2001.
Support for this exhibition has been provided by Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz and the members of the Dia Art Council. Pardo's fabric was produced through a collaboration between Dia Center for the Arts and The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia.

The St. John Tigers 6th, 7th and 8th grade basketball team had a very successful 31-7 summer playing MAYB and summer league basketball this year. Playing in five tournaments from as far east as Wichita and on westward to Fort Hays gave the young Tigers valuable experience matched-up against some good competition, especially in the Hays, Great Bend and Wichita tournaments.
The team, coached by Danny Smith, was made up of mostly 8th graders along with one 7th and one 6th grader.
Coach Smith had some really good talent to work with - a group of boys who were well-versed in the game, handled the ball well along with making few turnovers, and played a fast paced offensive and defensive game to overcome a distinctive height disadvantage in many of their games. However, the Tigers did have an "ace in the hole" with their 6'1" postman Chase Fisher who played an important role on both sides of the ball.
Those playing were Joel Ibarra, Chase Fisher, Keven Neri-Leon, Eddy Ibarra, Quincy Smith and Luke Mercer- all eighth graders. Mason Osborne was the lone seventh-grader and Trey Fisher, the lone sixth-grader.
The Tigers took home a perfect 6-0 record in Hay's Round Ball Classic June 1-2, defeating three teams, each twice - the Lakin Broncs, the Garden City Wolf-Pack and the Dodge City Spurs.
Wichita's Summer Kickoff was next in line with 64 teams entered with the Tigers taking home five wins and three losses. On the first day, the boys defeated the Wichita Angels 46-35, the Emporia Jr. Spartans 34-32 and lost to the Oklahoma City Nuggets 50-54. On June 8 they lost a close one to the Colorado Rebels 37-40 and received a BYE. On the final day the Tigers defeated Beatrice, Nebraska 49-37 and the Tulsa Burners 37-33, then lost to the Colorado Miners 29-33. The Tigers placed second in the consolation bracket.
In Sterling's Summer League during the month of June, the 8th boys defeated Buhler (Barber) 26-22, Ellsworth 72-40, Haven 47-12, Buhler (Lackey) 49-33, lost to Hutchinson 21-34, defeated Hutch Trinity 43-29, Hoisington 65-6 and Larned 67-23 – the result, getting a first place with a 7-1 record.
Late in June they played in the Great Bend/Ellinwood Tournament, getting 3 wins and 3 loses. The Tigers lost their first two games, each by one point, losing to the Holcomb Ballerz 34-35 and to Hoisington 39-40, then defeated Claflin 44-28. On the final day they defeated Buhler (Barber) 38-35, lost to Pratt 45-54 and defeated the Holcomb Ballerz 38-35 for third place.
In Skyline's Summer League, the Tigers defeated Kiowa County 56-15, Skyline 46-15, Macksville 63-24, Attica 50-21, Kingman 43-18, South Central 56-16, Pretty Prairie 56-19, Pretty Prairie 67-21, Skyline 43-12 and Macksville 71-21 – placing first with a 10-0 record.
"This was a very fun, hard working group of guys to coach," said coach Smith. "They are at such a huge advantage playing together as a school team all summer long. Smith continued saying, "Most teams we play are all star teams, especially in MAYB. The fact that these guys can compete with those teams gives them a promising future. I think they'll be fun to watch in years to come."
Vance Fisher helped Smith with the coaching.

I have just started a new job as a front end web developer, this is my second day and I have just been handed quite a big project that involves lots of javascript which I dont know, this is leaving me extremely stressed (last night I couldnt get to sleep with worry) basically I got the job from the boss of the company phoning me up and asking me for a chat which then ended up in a job offer which I accepted, my previous role was just css and html with the odd little piece of jquery here and there and now this is way outside my comfort zone. What should I do? Against my name in here it says my name + DHTML, CSS and JQuery?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
First - relax.
Second - decide if JavaScript is something you want to learn, and whether you have desire to be someone involved with some level of programming, or whether you want to stick to design/html, css. My advice would be that to keep the level of opportunities up, and keep your skills valuable, JavaScript would be a worthy investment - however you need to decide if this is the road that you want to go down.
Finally - if you decide this is something you want to invest in, read, read, read and ask questions. Learn the fundamentals of programming and get through some basic tasks, like anything it'll come with practice. If you decide it's not something you want to do - start looking for a new job, and be particular about the type of job you apply for.
There is a very good tutorial to start learning jQuery. You should feel comfortable enough after reading it.
In my opinion knowing about a little bit jQuery and learning the fundamentals of the framework from a well written source makes a big difference. Along the way learning about jQuery itself would give one good enough Javascript knowledge and productivity far beyond studying Javascript alone, which results in self confidence.
1. How have you marketed your self (e.g in your CV)? Have you explicitly said your are a web developer OR a web designer?
2. If you got the job under the pre-tense of being a web developer, then you should be able to work with JavaScript, if not ask for help/training.
3. If you got the job as a web designer then this is outside of your remit, and you should inform your boss as such.
It really depends on what exactly your job role is.
Being outside your comfort zone can be a good thing. My advice would be to start small and focus on the basics of what you're being asked to do. Try to define the skeleton of your project and do use the experience you do have to keep this in your comfort zone.
Keep a very frequently updated TODO list, and keep only small, achievable things there. This works like a mini-scrum, and often works great for a single developer.
Finally, know when you're researching versus when you're developing. When you don't know how to do something (say, with jquery), write lots of throwaway sample programs. When you've reached some comfort level, do it in the real code.
Overall, don't focus on the mountain, focus on the trail.
For what it's worth, my initial reaction to any assignment with a high percentage of unfamiliar technology is something like yours. As Tim says, first relax. No one is ever really productive on day 1 of a new project (well, at least I'm not...), and panic is really non-productive. Then start learning the code base you've been handed. JasonFruit and Max have given you some great advice. I've had to learn new technologies under the gun, and if I can do it, I'm confident that any reasonably intelligent programmer can.
If I were you, I would definitely explain the situation to my boss. It is probably OK that you need to learn JavaScript, but they should know about it - you won't be as productive as seasoned developer. The reason you should explain the situation is, they would probably expect something from you and if they do not have a clue that you might a little help, they might get a false impression about your productivity.
So unless you lied in your interview (which I doubt from what you have written), it might be a good idea to tell your boss about your fears. Since you are just a few days there, it should be kind of expected that you need some time.
Consider http://www.manning.com/jQueryinAction/. jQuery is a really popular JS library and very powerful. This book covers the library in a very modular way and covers the prerequisite JS needed to effectively use and understand the jQuery in client-side RAD.
The second edition covers up to 1.4, make sure you read up .on() and .prop() and the deferred object.
Looking at other's code is always hard, especially the beginning. If you're proficient with JavaScript, you should be able to pick it up relatively quickly (1week-2weeks). If you're not proficient with JavaScript, I recommend you learn JavaScript quickly. There are a lot of good books out there such as DOM Scripting.
Sleep when you get the chance.
Also you're always gonna meet new challenges in a new job, just don't get stressed out
The only thing for it is to learn JavaScript. It's not that hard, and if you keep calm and employ strong Google-fu, you'll be able to keep up. The best way to learn, anyway, is when you're being paid to use the results: you'll learn faster and have more motivation.
And get some sleep --- you learn better that way.
First steps first. Get comfortable with source control, or make constant backups of your stuff - that way you can undo your changes - you can feel comfortable breaking stuff.
The best place to learn JQuery seems to be the JQuery site itself — it's surprisingly easy to pick up, just give it a few days and don't worry about it.
You may want to also tell your boss that you're not really up to speed on JavaScript and that it'll take a bit more time to ship this project than your usual turnaround.
I'm a firm believer in keeping the management (i.e. "your boss") informed about your work issues, and this would certainly count. A good chat with him/her would at least alleviate some of your stress! Finally, the other great advice about embracing this unknown is well worth heeding. Provided your boss interviewed you properly, perhaps he/she sees potential in your skill set!

I have Gnome shell 3.2 and a gnome 3.2 theme installed. But when I use the search bar in Activities, gnome shell freezes and I am left with no other option except to restart the system. Is this a bug? Or is there any solution for this?

Questions on Ask Ubuntu are expected to relate to Ubuntu within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I know this isn't a fix (I too have issues with the shell freezing, but not on the search iteself), but you can do the following to restart the shell:
Alt+F2, type 'r' and press return. Even if the alt+f2 dialog doesn't show, it will still take your command and run it. This restarts the shell but doesn't log you out or anything.
this is happening to me and i dont have a solution to prevent it but here is a way to get out of it without restarting gdm:
This allows you to save any work. and not lose any windows when the lockup occurs.
Its possible to combine the ps and kill into one elegant command. Someone else can do that....I'm looking for a solution to the search issue.
MORE INFO: This happens to me 100% when I search. The solution I found was to change the shell theme to default Ubuntu GNOME 3 using the gnome-tweak-tool. This fixed me up. Seems like certain themes have compatibility issues.
There is probably not an easy solution, you would have to file a bug report upstream with gnome for any type of resolution.
FWIW I filed a similar bug report with gnome a few months ago now (was using Fedora 15 at the time).
In my experience :
I also had lockups when using the search, often I could recover by restarting gnome-shell (Alt + F2 , hit the r then Enter - you may not see any output on the screen during that sequence of keyboard activity ), or restarting X (did not have to hard boot with a lock up when searching).
When this (lockups) happens, you will need to ssh in from another box and pull the logs (for bug reports).
FWIW, here is an example of the kind of information you will be asked (probably from upstream)
I know it is old and from fedora, but, that is the sort of thing you are looking at and I can tell you from personal experience what the gnome developers will expect.
FWIW, the bug report I filed with gnome.bugzilla was unresolved and is so old that it no longer exists (I searched).
At the end of the day, it was easier to upgrade the nvidia card.
revert the theme into the original theme or download theme that is compatible with gnome shell version that you have.
To recover, probably a cleaner way is to terminal via ctrl+alt+f1 and then restart lightdm.
this is a known problem. you can temporarily remove nautilus-pastebin plugin, until the upstream patch makes it into Ubuntu.
for more details, see the upstream bug.
may be this can help you..

Here's a list for carriers in the U.S. but I don't know how up-to-date it is.
Further, many carriers have web forms to allow sending arbitrary text to any customer, so you could just copy-paste the message in the form. Verizon Wireless's is at http://www.vtext.com/. Check your carrier's website.

Just wondering if it is possible to create a file which has its md5sum inside it along with other contents too.
migrated from unix.stackexchange.com May 16 '11 at 7:05
This question came from our site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems.
Theoretically? Yes.
Practically, however, since /any/ change to a file's contents, no matter how minute, causes a drastic change in the checksum (which is how md5 checksums work, after all), you'd need to be able to predict how the checksum will change when you alter the file to include the checksum -- for all intents and purposes this isn't much different from being able to break the md5 hashing algorithm.
There's no such thing as "impossible" in cryptography, but the science does acknowledge the concept of "practically undoable" or "statistically improbable" and that's pretty much what you're dealing with here, at the moment.
Consider this: you create a file that contains every member of the set of 16-byte sequences. An MD5 checksum is a 16-byte sequence, so by definition this file contains its own MD5 checksum. Somewhere.
Cryptographically speaking the attack you are describing is actually harder than finding a first preimage, maybe even harder than finding a second preimage.
This is not possible given today's computing power and today's crypto attacks .
Current attacks on MD5 don't even come close to finding preimages - we are talking about something completely different than the various collisions attacks that have been demonstrated (and are the reason MD5 is considered somewhat insecure). The attack that would be required to create a file with it's MD5 in it has nothing to do with collisions.
I would say that such attack, because as I mentioned is even harder than a preimage attack, is very unlikely in our lifetimes.
Update: thinking about it again, I found a method that should allow the construction of a file containing its own MD5 much faster than what I was explaining initially. The new cost should be about 265 elementary invocations of MD5, i.e. a lot less than the 2119 I was talking about; it would even be technologically feasible (with a budget counted in millions of dollars -- but not billions). See at the end for a description of the new method.
Original answer:
Let's assume that MD5 is a "perfect" hash function which can be modeled as a random oracle. A random oracle is a function for which you know nothing of the output for a given input before trying it once. For a random oracle, the best method to achieve what you are looking for is hope: you try random input messages until you find one which contains its own hash. The question is then: what size of input messages should you use ?
MD5 processes data by adding some bits of padding (at least 65, at most 576) so that the length is a multiple of 512; then data is split into 512-bit blocks. The cost of hashing a message is directly proportional to the number of such blocks. I.e. for a n-bit message, the cost is ceil((n+65)/512). A n-bit message, on the other hand, offers n-127 subsequences of 128 bits. Longer messages make it more probable to succeed at each message (in a linear way) but cost more to process (linearly too). So message length is mostly neutral, except that the overhead implied by the padding is larger when using short messages. Overall, with large enough random messages (e.g. 8 kB), you will find a message which contains its own MD5 in average cost about 2119 MD5 elementary evaluation. An elementary evaluation of MD5 uses a few hundred clock cycles on a recent CPU, and 2119 is totally unachievable with today's technology (and tomorrow's technology, too).
(The "big file with all 128-bit sequence" that Graham Lee is talking about is just a special case of this generic method, with a single very large message.)
Now MD5 is widely known to not be a random oracle -- if only because collisions on MD5 can be computed efficiently, something which is not possible with a random oracle. So it is conceivable that shortcuts exploiting weaknesses in MD5 structure exist. However, I am not aware of any attack leading to a message containing its own MD5; this looks like a problem close to preimage resistance, something which is viewed as substantially more difficult than collisions.
New method:
MD5, like most (If not all) hash functions, is streamed: when it processes a long input, it does so in one pass, keeping a small fixed-size running state. For MD5 specifically, the running state has size 128 bits (16 bytes), and data is processed in chunks of 512 bits (64 bytes). An important consequence is the following: if you have inputs m and m||x ("||" denotes concatenation), and you want to compute both MD5(m) and MD5(m||x), then the extra cost needed to compute the second one is proportional to the size of x, but NOT to the size of m. In other words, if you have a 1 gigabyte input m, compute MD5(m), and then want to compute the MD5 of m followed by a 20-byte trailer x, then that second MD5 can reuse much of the work done for the first one, and will be almost free.
This leads to the following algorithm for finding a message m that contains its own MD5:
Finding the right "x" value at each step can be done by using a De Bruijn sequence. Use B(2, 128) as the base sequence if each x is a single bit. If you want a byte-oriented solution (the message m must consist of an integral number of bytes, and MD5(m) must appear within m at a byte boundary), then use B(256, 16).
To compute the average number of iterations needed to find a hit, consider that at iteration n, the message m contains n distinct subsequences of 128 bits (or 16 bytes), so the total accumulated number of comparisons will be n(n+1)/2. Assuming MD5 to be a random oracle, then each comparison has probability 2-128 of being a hit, so n will have, on average, to be such that n(n+1)/2 = 2128 -- which translates to n = 264.5 iterations.
However, each iteration involves computing a MD5(m||x) where x is very small (one bit or one byte), and MD5(m) has been computed; this will usually require only one extra elementary MD5 computation (processing of a single 64-byte block). (If x are bits then only one iteration in 512 will require processing two blocks; if x are bytes then this becomes one iteration in 64.)
Either way, the hard part will be the lookup. Getting all subsequences in an index suitably sorted for fast lookup will require an awful lot of fast RAM, which would probably be way more expensive than computing the 264.5 MD5. However, some De Bruijn sequences allow for a fast, storage-free decoding. Therefore, with this algorithm, we can find a message m that contains its own MD5 for a cost close to 265 computations of MD5. The resulting message will have length about 3.3*1018 bytes, i.e. about one million modern hard disks (eight times as much if we want a byte-oriented solution).
It may be noted that the algorithm can be started with an arbitrary message m, of any size. That starting point will appear at the start of the self-MD5 file that the algorithm produces.
(In my original answer, the mistake was in this sentence: "Longer messages make it more probable to succeed at each message (in a linear way) but cost more to process (linearly too)." As explained above, longer messages can still be processed very efficiently as long as we generate them by reusing a common prefix, as in my new algorithm.)
(Copying my original comment as answer:)
You'd be better off creating a section of the file for the md5 / hash, and a seperate section for content.
On the other hand, since anyone can recreate the hash part, what security value would you get from this?
You could do it through use of an Alternate Data Stream, though the information may not transfer properly between certain file systems or OS's. Certain applications may handle (or not handle) these differently also.
In short, Alternate Data Streams are a form of metadata attached to files in some file systems (NTFS is one) which does not appear readily when viewing a directory's contents. Even with the system set to show "hidden files" and those ever-critical "protected operating system files" you still will not see an ADS "file" in most file managers.
Additionally, the "host" file itself will not appear changed at all. The file's size will remain the same, and even the MD5 hash (or any other, for that matter) will be the same. You could even conceivably store an ADS "file" that is larger than its host file - although of course you cannot store one so large that it goes beyond the physical capacity of your drive.
In Windows systems with NTFS, ADS files are most easily accessed via the command line. So, for File1.ext, if you want to store the MD5 hash in an ADS, do the following:
Again, ADS's are handled differently by different OS's and file systems. So, they're not likely to traverse the Internet (or even some LANs or sneakernets) very well. But, it is a way of doing what it is you seem to be wanting to do.
For further details, instructions, or utilities, consult Google.
What you are asking about is the existence of a fixpoint of the composition of two functions: the
As the Wikipedia article says, not all functions have a fixpoint.
For some trivial functions in
Let's for now restrict our set
It is also easy to see that, if
Now take a look at this stackoverflow question: Is there an MD5 Fixed Point where md5(x) == x?. In particular, take a look at Adam Rosenfield's answer. In it, we can see that there is a 63.21% probability of
The same argument used in that answer can be applied to
It is easy to see, as mentioned on that answer, that the same argument will also apply to any file which depends on enough of its md5 output. For files which depend on only a couple of bits of the md5 output, or do not depend on it at all (including the one on @Graham Lee's answer, which depends on 0 bits of the md5 output), the answer will be different.
In the general case, no, since adding the MD5 sum would modify the file itself and thus its MD5 sum, most of the time...
However, for specifically crafted files, it could be possible, using a collision attack.
There is an example of collision attacks where two PostScript files are designed to have the same MD5 sum here (there are paper references too): http://th.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/people/lucks/HashCollisions/
You might be able to use the same approach to generate a second file that would contain the original content, its MD5 sum, and some extra content to make the collision.
You could have something like a wrapper format that have the MD5 in part of the file and the real content in another part of it.
This would useless because if the attacker can change the content then he can also change the MD5 to match the new content.
From my understanding of hashing this is totally impossible. In order to calculate the hash the entirety of the data is ingested. This is then used to generate the hash, this data would then have to be appended to the file thus changing the data and also the hash.
[http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Hashing this might be of some use to you]
Thinking a bit outside of the box, you could code a variable to store the md5 of a file (the exact file) and so while the actual md5 of the file in plane text will not be included in the file itself, if the file were runnable code it could be programmed to store a value of its own md5 as a variable.
To further enhance such an idea (in order to give it some sort of usable value), you could store the md5 in a separate file (created upon completion) and secure that second file in such a way that only the first file contains any reasonable method of accessing it and comparing against the previously calculated md5 variable.
The actual usefulness of such an idea is probably limited only to the ability to check that the file itself has not been altered and to alert of a security breach that has already happened rather than to stop one from happening in the first place.
If you do not need the bits to be in sequence, then sure, this is pretty easy.
This file will work:
(File is shown in binary.)
The md5sum of it is
The md5sum is inside the file (although not in sequence). This is the same file as above, with the md5sum shown as it is, while the other contents are replaced with
Of course, this file would work too:
It's md5sum is
And here is the md5sum as seen within the file:

5 Petty Arguments You Won't Believe Have Scientific Answers
A great many of the arguments humans have are over things that are a) inconsequential and b) impossible to resolve. A couple can argue for years about the default position of the toilet seat, and eventually the winner is whoever has the most stamina to keep arguing. But this is what we have science for, right? To answer the questions no one else can answer? Even the pointless ones?
#5. Leave the Toilet Seat Up or Down?
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
It's an argument that has torn families apart since the invention of indoor plumbing -- should the toilet seat stay up or down after you've used it? Men usually need it up, women always need it down, and since it takes approximately zero effort to raise or lower the seat, it's clearly the principle of the thing that matters. So why not just have science give us an objective answer?
That turned out to be harder than it sounds, but researcher Jay Pil Choi did the work and came up with a complex equation to solve the issue:
Via Msu.edu
See, that's what we've been saying all along, but nobody ever listens to us.
OK, that probably needs a little explanation for anyone who isn't Good Will Hunting. Choi's formula assumes first of all that the same toilet is being used by both males and females throughout the course of the day. If not, why the hell would you be having trouble with this?
Now, we're going to assume that if you're old enough to read this sentence, you know that both men and women need to sit to poop, but only women need to sit to do Number 1. That means that if you leave the seat up permanently, both men and women are inconvenienced, but if it's always down, only men are. So you might figure that it's best to just leave the seat down and the dudes can deal with it as needed, which is what the ladies have been saying all along.
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
Especially if they're so dumb that they regularly shit all over their white robe.
But Choi's conclusions are more complicated, even if he's already put more thought into this than anyone in history by two paragraphs ago. As it's estimated that we each defecate once per day and urinate seven times a day on average, what we need here are graphs. So many graphs.
Via Scq.ubc.ca
There is no excuse for not using little poop icons on that graph.
Basically, if the number of ladies in the house is equal to or greater than the number of dudes, the seat stays down, period. To make keeping the seat up worthwhile, men have to outnumber women by a certain ratio. For example, in a house with four guys, they only get to keep the seat up when there are two or fewer girls; for five guys, three or fewer girls (if you start adding in variables such as multiple bathrooms and proximity of bathrooms to males and females, then you'd need some kind of supercomputer to figure it out).
So there you go. Now we just need them to tell us which way we should hang the toilet paper roll and our relationships will be smooth sailing.
#4. What's the Difference Between a Geek and a Nerd?
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
Quick question: If you see a very skinny or very fat socially awkward dude who wears glasses and is in the middle of coding an automated program to farm World of Warcraft gold, is he a geek or a nerd? Don't scoff -- labels are important to people. Especially when the label represents a small group of enthusiasts who take pride in being outsiders. And apparently geeks and nerds both hate the fact that people use the terms interchangeably (and everyone else needs to know what to scream out the car window when passing them).
Fortunately, this is an issue very dear to the heart of computer scientist Burr Settles, because of course it is, and he's found a way to quantify exactly what "geek" and "nerd" mean in our culture. He developed an incredibly nerdy (or geeky?) algorithm to determine how commonly words were associated with each other on Twitter:
Via Slackprop
Conclusion: Geeks can't read that.
Unlocking that would probably take a much bigger nerd than any of us at Cracked, because we all qualify more as geeks. No, seriously -- Settles' results showed that the most significant differences between geeks and nerds are that geeks are more into pop culture references, tabletop RPGs, and picking out plot holes in Star Wars, while nerds are more interested in academic achievement, the pursuit of knowledge, and formulating complex algebraic equations to answer pointless questions. Here's the data, visualized:
Via Slackprop
"Gets rocks thrown at" is a major overlap.
If you'll excuse the eye-bleeding choices of font colors, the graph shows that people who spend a lot of time talking about hobbies, movies, TV shows, and comics tend to rate on the geeky side of the spectrum, while more sciency things and words that have something to do with reading (and, for some reason, cello playing) are regarded more as "nerd stuff." No word on the prevalence of neck beards.
Of course, there is a crossover, but it's still in keeping with the general rule. For example, science fiction seems to be equally popular among nerds and geeks. And the word that is both the most geeky and the most nerdy is "gamer." So when it comes to our hypothetical example in the opening, we guess you can just pick one.

We prefer the term "average, normal person" where games are concerned.
#3. Which Is the Catchiest Song?
Digital Vision/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Nothing in the world is as subjective as music. Everyone reading this has, at some point in their life, shared a life-changing song with a friend who said, "Eh, I wish it had more drums." Besides, if record companies could rely on math to tell them what's going to be a hit, the music industry would be easy. Well, guys, we have good news ...
London researchers started by observing thousands of volunteers singing along to various songs and took careful note of which ones produced the most uncontrollable enthusiasm from the participants. Once they had their sample, they started breaking the tracks down into their core elements. So, you want a hit? You need detailed musical phrases, a lot of pitch changes, and a male voice with a high vocal range. If you have a good, shouty rock ballad with a simple, memorable hook, then you've got yourself a catchy song. For example, the top match in their experiment was Queen's "We Are the Champions":
With this simple power ballad, Freddie Mercury unleashed the perfect storm of elements that make it impossible not to sing along if you hear it playing. The simple hook embellished by Mercury's ability to switch from baritone to punch-in-the-nuts pitch and everywhere in between is the code to a complete brain hijacking.
The same can be said about "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi, which also scored high on the list of both catchy songs and big-haired '80s bands:
According to the researchers, a song is more addictive if the vocalist manages to spit out more words before needing to take a breath, like "She says we gotta hooooold ooooooonnnn to what we've got (breathe) 'cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not!" Combine that with Jon Bon Jovi's powerful, high-pitched yelling in the chorus, and you have crack for the ears.
Oddly, it was reported that a key requirement of catchiness is that the singer has to be male. The researchers speculate that we're tapping into some inherent psychological intuition to follow male tribal leaders into battle. Which of course is ridiculous, because who would follow Freddie Mercury into battle? Actually, scratch that. That would be goddamn amazing.

I'm playing a wizard in an ArM5 campaign who focuses on Muto Corpus; his magic mostly involves changing bits of his body - changing arms into bear arms for fighting, legs into gazelle-legs for running, etc. It's fun.
I was thinking of using magic to grow two extra arms temporarily. It's a cool effect and would fit the character's ever-growing fascination with the bizarre and extremely magical. However, I couldn't decide on the power level for such an effect, and couldn't find anything appropriate in the guidelines.
- First of all - would this be MuCo, or would CrCo be involved, since we're adding new elements? I feel it's more Muto.
- What level of effect? The guidelines talk about adding or subtracting attribute scores, but this isn't listed. Also, it's not like changing arms to a bear's, since it's a much more unnatural change - unless I go for an Arms of the Spider kind of effect, which is a) less effective for using weapons, and b) icky.
- What would this allow me to do, mechanically? Attack twice? Both attack and defend? Cast spells with more gestures?

Since it was made on the POB so long ago, I can't imagine Symphony in C to be one of those ballets that really demands Balanchine style, whatever that may be! Its use of mostly pretty fundamental ballet steps would seem to let it be easily adaptable to many different schools of style.

I have not seen Symphony in C in about 10 years. My memories are ample as a performer and an observer however. All are wonderful, although I must say seeing NYCB dance it 10 years ago did leave me a bit cold. I am interested to see MCB on Thursday. Hopefully the joy of my memories will return.
Posted 28 January 2009 - 09:35 AM
According to my notes, I first saw it at MCB in March 2004. Jack started a thread on this, here:
The 2003-2004 season was MCB's "Balanchine Centennial Celebration." It was ballets like Symphony in C that hooked me on this company. At that time, the couples in the 2 casts I saw were:
-- Katia Carranza with Mikhail Ilyin in the pyrotechnical first movement, allegro vivo; they are supported by 2 demi-solo couples and a corps of 8 women.
-- Kronenberg and Guerra in the second movement adagio; supoprted by 3 couples and a corps of 8 women.
-- Catoya with Luis Serrano (Carranza's husband and now director of the Ballet de Monterey, Mexico) in the third movement/ this was Villella's role, allegro vivace; supported by 2 couples and a 6-woman corps;
-- Joan Latham (now an MCB ballet mistress) with Didier Bramaz, allegro vivace; supported by 8 couples and an 8-woman corps.
(Deanna Seay and Isanusi-Garcia Rodrigues also danced the first movement at another performance.)
The 4th movement segue-ways right into the finale, with each couple -- and everyone else as well, over 50 on stage -- reappearing. Make sure your eyes are OPEN ALL THE WAY for the conclusion -- one the most thrilling, in my opinion, in classical ballet.
MCB nexted danced it in April 2006.
The performance thread for that is here:
Casts I saw were:
-- 1st Movement: Carranza and Ilyin ( I put a big "GOOD!" next to his name in the program. Ilyin, a principal, later left the company and is now dancing with ABT in the corps.)
also Seay and Kenta Shimizu at another performance
-- Kronenberg and Guerra (Haiyan Wu and Mikhail Nikitine at another performance)
-- Catoya and Penteado (Katia Carranza and Mikhail Ilyin at another performance);
-- Jeanette Delgado (still in the Corps) and Serrano (Patricia Delgado and Didier Bramaz at another performance).
Looking over old cast lists is interesting. In a big-cast ballet like this, Villella is very willing to give new dancers a chance at prominence. Wong, for example, has a demi-solo in spring 2006, during his first season with the company.
I some of our other MCB-watchers on Ballet Talk will correct any errors I've made in the above.

New York recently saw this cast:
I some of our other MCB-watchers on Ballet Talk will correct any errors I've made in the above.
- 1st Movement: Catoya, Penteado (plus two demi-solo couples and eight women)
- 2nd Movement: Wu, Guerra (plus two demi couples, six women, not the eight noted by bart, above)
- 3rd Movement: J. Delgado, Wong (plus two demi couples, eight women)
- 4th Movement: P. Delgado, Cox, (plus two demi couples, eight women, later joined by full cast of principals, demis and corps)
Posted 28 January 2009 - 05:24 PM
I notice that MCB does not list the corps women alphabetically, as I am accustomed to seeing. I didn't notice, but perhaps they are listed in order of appearance?
Interesting. It might be a good idea. It could solve the problem, that I sometimes have, of identifying a corp member that stands out to me.
Posted 28 January 2009 - 06:50 PM
You're right! carbro. I just rechecked, and it's 6 women, not 8.
[*]2nd Movement: Wu, Guerra (plus two demi couples, six women, not the eight noted by bart, above)
Incidentally, is there universal agreement with Croce's 1993 statement that Symphony in C is "Balanchine's greatest show-piece"? Or should it be amended to something like "greatest show-piece of classical style"?
And how about her claim that the adagio movement is "probably the most privileged [woman's] role in the Balanchine repertory"? (1975)
And here's one more Croce observation, reminiscing in 1983 about Edward Villella:
It's interesting to read in carbro's post that Villella chose Alex Wong to dance that particular role when his company made its long-anticipated Manhattan debut. I wonder whether Wong, a young man of huge potential, fully realized the legendary footsteps in which he was being asked to dance -- and to fly.
In Symphony in C, Villella entered flying. For years afterward, at precisely the same moment in the third movement, audiences would respond clamourously not only to the height of the leap and its perfection of form but to the illusion of sustained flight. Villella just seemed to keep on climbing and riding air the whole time he was on stage.

Prepare to NOT be entranced by the costumes, especially those for the guys.
Posted 28 January 2009 - 08:16 PM
And before Farrell, Allegra Kent. Many ballerinas try it, but IMO few can pull it off without making it look like a stunt.
And watch whether the ballerina attempts to touch her knee in her penchee, which was the "Farrell move." And be exhilarated by the final.
Posted 29 January 2009 - 10:41 AM
The day after tomorrow I will be watching my first ever Symphony in C. I will watch clips of whatever is available online in advance, but I still would like to get some info and insights from you guys....WHATEVER you can add will be very helpful.-(as it has been in the past with other B. newbies for me)
Cristian, you really don't need to do any preparation to enjoy Symphony in C, it's one of the most joyous ballets I've ever seen. Although an unfortunate side effect has crept into my psyche over the last few years - whenever I see it now, as soon as the last movement starts reaching it's climax I start wishing it would start over again from the beginning so I can never truly relax & just focus on the ending!
Sym C was one of the first Balanchine ballets that I loved & I managed to love it with absolutely no insight into it's origins, allusions etc, however several years ago I read some commentary on it that really illuminated it's humor for me. I'm sure I found the info on or through ballettalk, although I don't have time to search the archives for it now. I can't remember if it was Croce or Denby or someone else but the writer pointed out the choreography's fit with the score's youthful exuberance and also pointed out that Balanchine was choreographing for circus elephants at around the same time that he made Sym C, and referred to the ballerinas in the 4th movement (I think it was the 4th) as an oncoming herd of ballerinas. I've never gotten that picture out of my head and it always makes me smile.
While trying to track down that article I found this one by Jay Rogoff it's long and discusses several Balanchine ballets but I think it's excellent and it discusses Sym C first. You will have to register to read the full article, but it's free:
BTW, I saw MCB's Sym C during the City Center engagement and the only complaint I have is with the 2nd movement casting. Wu's dancing is pretty, but too posey for me. She does the knee/head touch but it definitely looks like a stunt rather than an inevitable continuation of the movement. Enjoy the performance!

The MEDCAC reviews and evaluates medical literature, technology assessments, and examines data and information on the effectiveness and appropriateness of medical items and services that are covered under Medicare, or that may be eligible for coverage under Medicare. The MEDCAC judges the strength of the available evidence and makes recommendations to CMS based on that evidence.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Splinter Cell: Blacklist Latest News
Splinter Cell: Blacklist director joins WB Games Montreal as 'Creative Director'
Ubisoft loses Splinter Cell: Blacklist director Patrick Redding, who was also the narrative designer for Far Cry 2, as he leaves to join WB Games Montreal - the creator of Batman: Arkham Origins.
No project has been announced yet with Redding attached. Arkham Origins was the studio's first title since forming in 2010. Over 100 new jobs will be added to the studio.
Ubisoft: Frustration in games is "something to avoid," unless it teaches through failure
Ubisoft's game designer James Everett has talked about the development of Splinter Cell: Blacklist and how it was important to take "nothing away" at the root level of the franchise.
Finally, fans could start worrying about leaving bodies lying out in the open again - it mattered. How else to make Sam Fisher vulnerable? Heavy infantry to discourage gun running.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Rayman Legends give 'lower sales than anticipated'
Ubisoft has revealed that Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Rayman Legends haven't performed as well as their internal sales targets had hoped. This news follows the delays of both Watch Dogs and The Crew.
The finger of blame is pointed squarely at the impending arrival of Xbox One and PS4, which has eroded enthusiasm in new titles in the run up to the next-gen machines.
FIFA 14 takes UK chart top from Grand Theft Auto V
Drama! EA Sports has swanned in with FIFA 14 and grand theft charted the top spot from Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V in the UK all format chart. The crime spree sandbox has to make do with 2nd place.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition was 3rd, followed by PES 2014 now 4th. Splinter Cell: Blacklist slinkies down 7th, along with Saints Row IV and Diablo III 8th and 9th. Rayman Legends climbs 10th.
UK chart still led by Saints Row IV, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix debuts 2nd
Volition's probing Saints Row IV keeps its crazy cool atop the UK chart for another week, while Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix enters the running 2nd. Diablo III stays 3rd for consoles.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Disney Infinity, Minecraft for Xbox 360 and Payday 2 all keep steady from 4th to 7th respectively. EA Sports' NHL 14 slips on the rink 11th.

Who can find a great price on a portable air conditioner?
I'm looking for a portable air conditioner for the house. Some of you know the central air went out at my house, and I'm going to have to save a long time to replace it. I only have two small window units running in bedrooms because the living room and kitchen windows are not set up to put air conditioners in. So I'm looking for a portable air conditioner for that area of the house. It does not have to be big or powerful, just reasonably priced. Thanks!

If you're in a low humidity area, you might consider a swamp cooler instead. They're effective, can be low cast, and can even be rigged up if you're handy.
@faughtey: Somewhere or other, this has come up (and been answered before) at length. If someone else doesn't post a link to the really informative thread on it here within a few hours, I'll come back and search for it myself.
@gatzby: Swamp coolers won't work in Dallas (or Seattle either).
@faughtey: I knew if I used good old google, I'd come up with the answer (and it's not one I commented on, either). You wouldn't have found this just looking for questions. The one I used to have was also recommended by @lavikinga (in this comment):
The original question was:
More than a year ago... I see they're still on Amazon, for $445, and that it says to hurry, there's only 8 left.
I know this isn't really answering the question you asked, but if you want to save up faster (or at least pay less initially) then you may want to consider hacking a solution together with a standard window unit.
When we were in an apartment a couple of years ago, I put a window unit in the balcony's sliding door, with a sheet of plexiglass above it. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't perfect, but we got the unit for free, and it kept the place significantly cooler than without it.
If the window is at all big enough for a window unit, even thought it doesn't "work" for some reason, building a wooden mounting frame might do the trick and at a substantially lower cost. I'm looking into doing the same for the master bedroom where I am now. We have a portable A/C in the kitchen / living room area, but that's at the far end of the house, and the bedroom window faces the setting sun. It gets miserable back here. (My computer equipment might have something to do with that as well...)
Home Depot has some good buys right now on portable A/C units with free shipping. Like this one for 299.00. It has good reviews.:
I found a really great quality portable AC on Craigslist and it was 1/3 the cost of a new similarly spec'd one and it has worked for an entire year perfectly. Maybe try used?
The prices are unbelievable!
There was one on there a couple weeks ago for $50..... it was a floor model, which most of the stuff is anyway, the only catch is that you have to be able to get to the store that the has the bargain, because the shipping cost is ridiculous. I bought a portable AC last year on craigslist for 175.....wish i knew about searsoutlet.com back then.
Costco has this model for $299 including shipping. Mixed bag of reviews, would otherwise seem like a decent model.
Thanks everyone! I'm sure to find the perfect air conditioner with all your help.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The stat command may output this - I guess it depends on the filesystem you are using. stat calls it the "Birth time". On my ext4 fs though it is empty.
%w Time of file birth, human-readable; - if unknown
%W Time of file birth, seconds since Epoch; 0 if unknown
Linux offers three timestamps for files: time of last access of contents (atime), time of last modification of contents (mtime), and time of last modification of the inode (metadata, ctime). So, no, you cannot. The directory's mtime corresponds to the last file creation or deletion that happened, though.
No, there is no such a command. In Unix creation time is not stored (only: access, modification and change).

I have 4 versions of a file 1.21, 1.22, 1.23 and 1.24. After a month of time I came to know that the version 1.22 and 1.23 have some errors in them. Now I don't want anyone to use those versions. One way to solve it is to delete those versions, but I don't want to delete them. I just want to know a way so that if anyone checkout those obsolete versions they should get a warning or custom message that "don't use this version, this version has some problems".
Is there any way to do this? Let me know, thanks.

I am trying to mount a Nikon D3s (with camera L bracket) and 70-200mm to the M1L upper rail QRC-40A. The lens collar has an Arca Swiss lens mounting plate. The lens mount and the camera bracket are offset by 90 degrees.
Can anyone recommend a "fix"?
The only way I can come up with is to have (2) 210 rails with (2) QRC-40A mounts. One of the QRC-40A would be rotated 90 degrees.

Trojans Take Two from North GreenvilleFebruary 6, 2014
TIGERVILLE, S.C. – Using a 16-hit attack, the Anderson softball team swept a doubleheader past North Greenville, 6-5 and 10-3, in nonconference action Thursday afternoon at Pepsi Field.
"We played against a good solid team today and managed to come away with two wins." said Anderson head coach Tommy Hewitt. "I felt we swung the bats really well, made plays on defense and got a good performance out of our pitching staff."
Anderson improved to 4-0 on the young season and has won six straight past the Crusaders en route to taking a 14-10 advantage in the all-time series between the two programs. North Greenville dropped to 0-2 on the season.
Game #1
Anderson 6, North Greenville 5 (8 innings)
Junior second baseman Jessica Neidigh was 2-for-3 in the opener, with a single and a double and walked once, while scoring twice. Junior Bri Cason recorded her first home run of the season with a solo shot in the top of the seventh inning that eventually sent the game into extra innings. Senior shortstop Abby Child drove in three runs with a third-inning double and a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Sophomore Molly Child notched a single and a walk and scored twice, including the game-winner, in four trips to the plate.
Junior Katelynn Howser started in the circle for the Trojans, going four complete innings and surrendering three earned runs on four hits. The right-hander walked two and struck out one. Freshman Lauren Rudesheim earned her second win of the early season, tossing four innings of relief and allowing two runs, one earned, and striking out one Crusader. She also issued an eighth-inning walk.
North Greenville capitalized on a lead-off double in the bottom of the first inning by junior Sarah Armstrong, as the centerfielder scored on a one-out sacrifice fly off the bat of Rachael Glazebrook that gave the Crusaders an early 1-0 edge.
Abby Child doubled home Neidigh and Molly Child, who had both walked with two outs in the top of the third inning, giving Anderson a brief 2-1 advantage. However, North Greenville quickly regained a one-run lead by plating a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth.
After a scoreless fifth and sixth frames, Cason's one-out home run in the top of the seventh evened the score and forced the extra inning after Rudesheim retired the Crusaders in order in the bottom of the frame.
Rudesheim, who was placed on second to begin the extra inning, scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth on a single by Molly Child after Neidigh moved her to third with a bunt single. The Trojans recorded three of their six hits in the extra frame to take a three-run lead, as Abby Child's sacrifice fly plated Molly Child and Swygert followed with a single to score Molly Child.
North Greenville answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame and had the bases loaded with two outs and the tying run at third, before Rudesheim induced a pop out to Neidigh at second to end the game.
Game #2
Anderson 10, North Greenville 3 (5 innings)
Cason blasted her second home run in as many games and finished the nightcap 2-for-2, while adding a walk, driving in three runs and scoring twice. Freshman Augie Pena was 2-for-3, including a double and also recorded an RBI, while fellow newcomer Courtney Czentnar also finished the day by going 2-for-3 at the plate. She recorded an RBI and scored once. Senior first baseman Danielle Swygert was 2-for-4 and crossed the plate once, with Abby Child drawing a pair of walks in four trips to the plate and scoring both times. Neidigh was 1-for-3 with a double and a walk.
Pena got her first start of the season in the circle and earned the complete-game five-inning victory, while allowing three earned runs off six hits. She walked one, while striking out three Crusaders.
The Trojans struck first, posting three runs in the second inning, with Cason providing a two-out, two-run home run to fuel the outburst. But North Greenville answered with three in the bottom of the inning to knot the score.
Anderson added an unearned run in the third and put the game out of reach by plating six runs in the fourth inning on the strength of four singles and a pair of walks.
The game was halted after five innings due to darkness.
Anderson will get back on the diamond Sunday, when the Trojans welcome Chowan to Smethers Field for a noon doubleheader.
