I have read several recommendations of online backup services. These indeed sound attractive options as they provide a means for off-site backups, and I would expect they ensure your data is backuped thoroughly. However, I particularly dislike the thought of publishing my data online. Is it possible to use an online backup service while keeping your data private?

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Yes and No,
Pretty much every online service has encryption to prevent your documents being compromised if a server or hard drive goes missing (assuming they do all the back ups and fault tolerance their end).
However, if you can decrypt / get it using software, it pretty much always means that they would also be able to.
Your only real bet is to encrypt it yourself using something like Truecrypt, and backing up the encrypted version (just don't backup a plain text file with the encryption key!.. Can't tell you how many times I have seen people do that!)
If you really think that a place is dodgy and will read your items, perhaps they would not be the correct place for you. However, if you are like me and just over suspicious of everyone, encrypt or do not use these services!
The only real safe way would be to use well-reviewed open source software (probably something rsync-based) and use an online service only as dumb repository for encrypted data.
The problem is that (as far as I'm aware) the dedicated backup services all require you to run a proprietary client. If they wanted your data, all they'd have to do is have that client run a keylogger to defeat any encryption you're doing yourself.
Unfortunately, those proprietary clients are much better than anything open source at making the backup process easy and unobtrusive.
You may also check out http://www.wuala.com/ not exactly a backup service, but an online storage service, where data is stored encrypted. So I'm not sure if it suites your needs.
You could encrypt your files (and keep the keys with you of course) like already suggested in most answers here.
You could use
But, if the sum of your files is a small number, it would be safer and easier to use a TrueCrypt volume which contains a compressed (
Further to Wil's answer, Dropbox is one service (and there must be others) which uses rsync to synchronize files - so only changes are uploaded. This should make syncing a truecrypt volume bearable.
Reference: https://www.getdropbox.com/help/8. They also have a page on using truecrypt.
Shameless whoring time: if you do sign up, you can use this referral link to get us both 250MB extra space: https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTE5MDYzNjQ5
Yes, if you choose the right online backup provider.
If you ensure that they provide an SSL encryption connection to their server and the data is encrypted the other end, it is a good start.
One great example of secured online backups is Mozy Online Backup. It uses a secured SSL connection from your computer to the backup server and stores the data encrypted their end. Very secure. It is also free up to 2GB. Beyond that, costs are very low. Of course, this is just one example.
I recently asked about online backups on server fault to a different end. It brought to light rsync.net which might be attractive to you. They don't require a client to use, although they do provide a lightweight agent that can automate backups for you. If you desire, you can opt for your own tools to back up to them using ftp/sftp/scp/http. They pretty much just provide you access to a remote file server, and let you decide on how to put the data there. The tool they provide though allows for extensive configuration of backups as well as email reporting. Again, the tool isn't required, but is worth checking out. We have had a lot of trouble with Mozy for our remote servers, and are about to start migrating over to rsync.net.
Jungle Disk will encrypt your data. However, it is a bit more complicated to set up than services like Mozy and Carbonite, and it can easily get more expensive depending upon how much data you wish to store.

We have a large portion of our house with ceramic flooring which is now looking very old fashioned. It has large grout lines (3/8 inch) which are white and almost impossible to keep clean. We do not want to have the entire floor taken up and replaced and were wondering if new modern porcelain with very minimal grout lines can be installed right over top of the existing ceramic floor successfully.
Although I would never do this myself, eHow has a step-by-step for this.
Keep in mind that doing this will add thickness to the floor, so transitions into other rooms might be tricky. According to This paper "an abrupt increase in height" of 1/4" (6mm) "is considered to be a threshold level for consideration of trip hazard for a pedestrian".
If this is done in a bathroom, the toilet flange (and/or other fixtures) will likely have to be raised to compensate for the new floor height.
While I have never done this on a floor, I have done this to a back splash wall in the kitchen. Granted what I did wasn't weight bearing, but it did hold when the cabinets over head suddenly broke their supports and rested solely on the 1/2 inch ledge on the back splash. So the mastic will hold, the only question then is the porcelain tiles themselves. If the ceramic is curved or bulges in the middle, you may crack the tiles you put over it, when you add weight to them. You can test this, if you can spare losing a tile, just place a porcelain tile over the ceramic and add lots of weight. If it holds, then I would go ahead and tile the entire floor.
Happy installation!
flex bond! It's perfect for tile over tile.
Although it's possible to do what you're asking I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if the current tile is laid on a wood floor. Although labor extensive you will be much better of and half a lot less potential for problems if you remove the old floor and start fresh. The prep work for laying over existing ceramic is tedious, in the end of believe you will save yourself a lot of work and trouble by removing the existing ceramic.

Facebook Feedback Friday: The best scenic drives in Cape Town
Yesterday, we asked the fans of our Facebook page, I ♥ Cape Town: "What is the best scenic drive in Cape Town?"
The most popular answer, by a long shot, was Chapman's Peak Drive. "Chappies" offers stunning 180° views, and, according to the comments on Facebook, is not to be missed!
Here's a selection of some of the answers:
Neil James Bartley: From Simons Town to Cape Point then through Chapman's Peak and finishing off at Clifton at sunset.
Aukje Ter Horst: From CT to Hermanus along the coast via Strand or from town to Houtbay along the coast.
Dylan Thomaz: The drive from kommetjie to Scarborough via misty cliffs...
Michelle Cronjè: The whole drive around the Cape Peninsula including Chapman's Peak, Oukaapse Weg, Newlands to Constantia Nek for a forest drive, and this is just in Cape Town itself.
Janet Prentice: From Stellies to Franschoek and onwards is STUNNING, and so is the coastal road from Hout Bay to Clifton to Town.
Shelley Pope: My drive between Glencairn and Fish Hoek on a beautiful sunny day, looking over Fish Hoek beach and Kalk Bay and driving down Ou Kaapse Weg and looking over towards Constantia – stunning.
Lauren Doyle: The approach just before the Huguenot tunnel from Cape Town side, and the whole stretch on the Worcestor side. The mountains all around Dutoitskloof pass are just spectacular, no matter how many times you drive that way.
Quinton Van Wyk: Nelson Mandela boulevard at night to see the harbour.
Bryan Williams: Victoria Drive past Camps Bay towards the 12 Apostles, and Hout Bay.
Kevin Marques: Constantia Wine route is also up there ... while driving along, you have a sense of serenity and calmness.
Nafiesa Natha: Yesterday took a drive to Seapoint thru Campsbay and had a picnic on Chapman's Peak! From there did Fish Hoek and stopped in Kalkbay, now that was an amazingly beautiful drive! Priceless!!
Chelsea-Lynn Suso Carter Adams: Seapoint through victoria rd past clifton & camps bay past llandudno through to hout bay ( lunch :) ) Chapman's Peak through simons town then to Kommetjie :)
Deidre Muller Henning: Somerset west – Grabouw – Villiers – Franshoek – Stellenbosch – Somerset west!
Ruwaydah Jakoet: Signal Hill Road and Table Mountain Road..Not to mention De Waal Drive.
Jennifer Parvess: I find that no matter which direction you drive in Cape Town you have amazing scenery. Chapman's Peak is one of my favourites though.
Hashim Consalves: Coming down from signal hill to M5 towards Muizenberg.
Roché Petersen: An underrated drive, in my opinion, is Vissershok Road from Durbanville to the N7, passing wine estates and olive farms, with a magnificent view of Melkbos and Koeberg from the zenith. It can be incorporated with Tygerberg Valley Road from Botasig to Durbanville to make an excellent circular drive. Go slow – there's plenty of cellars to pop in at!
Paddy de Vries: Gordon's Bay to Rooiels. No doubt.
Final words
Lorraine Kader: I am in Australia any drive in Cape town is magnificent.
Dianne McLaughlin: Hey ... I am sitting in England! Anywhere in Cape Town!!!
Robin George: Wow ... I don't even know! There are so many in this beautiful city that its hard to choose from! You got to love the beautiful city.

WHEELING - Madonna coach T.J. Brancazio figured his guys would have to play out of their minds to make a run at Class A defending champion Charleston Catholic.
That didn't happen during Tuesday's first round of the West Virginia High School Golf Tournament at Oglebay's Robert Trent Jones Course.
The Blue Dons had three scores in the 80s and sit in second place at 15 back. The Irish, who shot 236, were led by Christian Casingal (75) and Aaron Persily (76), the lowest scores in the class.

''It would take a small miracle,'' Brancazio said of a comeback during today's second round. ''Charleston Catholic is very good.''
The Blue Dons trailed the Irish by 18 after last year's first day and wound up 19 back.

Michael Rogers shot 82 despite two double bogeys and a triple for the Blue Dons.
Of note, Buffalo's Blaik Caplinger carded an ace on hole No. 11. He shot 83 and trails leader Casingal by eight.
The battle at the top in the state's largest class should make some compelling viewing for today's final round.
Two-time defending champ Wheeling Park (229) trails University (225) by four strokes with Cabell Midland (235) and George Washington (238) nipping at their heels. All told, 35 strokes separate the top team from the bottom team (Elkins at 260) among the eight in the class.
For the Patriots and Hawks, both members of the same conferences and the same region, Tuesday simply provided more of the same.
''Every tournament it seems like we play them,'' said University's Cale Wheeler, who carded a 74, tied for the third-best score in the class. ''It's definitely a rivalry. I think we're the best two teams in the state.''
In the last three weeks, Wheeling Park won the OVAC Class 5A Tournament by 12 strokes on University at Oglebay, then the Hawks turned around and beat the Patriots by five last week at the regional at Preston Country Club.
They're back on Wheeling Park's home fairways for this one.
''They're the best team in the state and on top of that, they get to play their home course,'' Wheeler said. ''It's real tough. It's one thing to beat them, but on their home course, it (would make) it all that much better.''
Wheeling Park's Cole Hand shot 72 and was the only player in the field to make par. Teammate Thadd Obecny II, a junior who is a two-time overall medalist in this event, was second at 73, followed by the University duo of Wheeler and Eric Wirth, along with Winfield's Chris Williams, all at 74. GW's Will Evans and Cabell-Midland's Jacob Bearhs both shot 75.
Poca (246) dashed out to a three-stroke lead on Roane County (249), led by Travis Covert's 78, which tied Ritchie County's Sydney Snodgrass and Bluefield's Evan Smith for tops in the class. Roane County's top scorer was Alston Spears with an 81. Fairmont Senior is third, eight strokes back at 254.

TOPEKA — At its regular quarterly meeting held at the Kansas Historical Society last Saturday, the Historic Sites Board of Review voted to list one property in the Register of Historic Kansas Places and to forward 13 nominations to the office of the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, D.C. The sites will be evaluated by their professional staffers. If they concur with the board's findings, the properties will be included in the National Register.
The National Register of Historic Places is the country's official list of historically significant properties. Properties must be significant for one or more of the four criteria for evaluation. Properties can be eligible if they are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. They can be eligible if they are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. Distinctive construction can qualify properties for the National Register if they embody the characteristic of a type, period, or method of construction, or represent the work of a master, or possess high artistic values, or represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Lastly, properties may be eligible for the National Register if they have yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history. The National Register recognizes properties of local, statewide, and national significance. Here's the history of the three local nominees:
North Topeka Baptist Church, built in 1921 and 1922, is located at the southeast corner of NW Gordon and NW Jackson streets on the western edge of the historic commercial core of North Topeka. The building was designed by Williamson and Company of Topeka and built by G. Carlson and Son contractors for $40,000. It is an example of Classical Revival architecture and features a monumental front-gable portico supported by four Corinthian columns. A key turning point in the history of this building came in 1951 when a devastating flood affected much of the Kansas River valley. Much of North Topeka was under water as the Kansas River spilled out of its banks. Water was several inches deep in the church sanctuary. The congregation salvaged what remained, remodeled the interior, and built a new Sunday school building onto the south side of the church in 1952. The building, which still serves the same congregation, was nominated for its architecture.
The John and Mary Ritchie House is located at 1116 SE Madison Street in Topeka. The Ritchies moved to the Kansas Territory in 1855 and became involved in abolitionist activities and local temperance and women's rights organizations. This house was built on Ritchie's 120-acre preemption purchased in 1855 adjacent to the original Topeka town site. The house is an excellent early example of the mid-19th century vernacular house type known as a double-cell with two rooms of roughly equal size on each level that reflects trends of the National Folk style. It is constructed of limestone walls, with the front elevation distinguished by a full façade layer of brick applied over the limestone with decorative brick quoins at the corners. The Shawnee County Historical Society acquired the building in 1995 and began a multi-year plan to rehabilitate and interpret the property. The house was nominated for its association with the Ritchies and for its architecture.
Built in 1930 at the corner of Fourth and Taylor Streets in Topeka, the Hughes Conoco Service Station was strategically located to be accessible from two primary arterial streets allowing the station to pull in traffic from all directions. Typical of early 20th-century gas stations, this one was built in the Tudor Revival-style to both blend in with its residential surroundings and serve as a corporate advertisement. The brick building features a round-arch entrance, narrow multi-light casement windows, and a steeply pitched side-gable roof. Its 198 square feet include a sales room and two washrooms. In 1956, Edwin Hughes leased the Conoco Station and added a cement block garage to the east elevation. Hughes became one of the first African Americans in Topeka to operate a business outside of Topeka's established black commercial district and the first African American in the city to operate a station selling gas supplied by a major petroleum company. The building was listed in the Register of Historic Kansas Places in 2009 and was nominated to the National Register as part of the "Roadside Kansas" multiple property nomination for its associations with local commercial and transportation history and for its architecture.

Mods, rockers unite in Plainville
|Paige Howarth, left, and 'rocker' Seth Kaplan admire Howarth's 1975 Vespa Rally 200 before the start of the fifth annual Mods V Rockers ride last Saturday in Plainville. Bud Wilkinson / Republican-American
That would be the mid-1960s across the pond when two conflicting British youth subcultures known as the "rockers" and the "mods" made headlines by repeatedly brawling.
The rockers of that era wore black leather jackets and motorcycle boots. They rode cafe racers with low slung handlebars, just as Kaplan does. He embellishes his attire with a scarf and plaid flat cap. The mods wore suits and other clean-cut outfits, and rode scooters, just as Howarth does. The rockers considered the mods to be effete snobs, while the mods viewed the rockers as grubby thugs.
The pinnacle of the groups' animosity came on the Whitsun Weekend of May 18 and 19, 1964. Marauding gangs openly fought along the south coast of England, the worst of the violence being at Brighton. A black and white British Pathe newsreel found on YouTube warned of "longhair youngsters with knives indulging in an orgy of hooliganism" and reported that 76 participants ended up being jailed and fined in that seaside city alone.
That was then, and this is now. Last Saturday, in the parking lot outside Scooter Centrale/Vespa Hartford in Plainville, "rocker" Kaplan and "mod" Howarth could be seen warmly socializing. Times have certainly changed. These modern-day wannabes can best be compared to those tribute bands that play the hits made famous by others, for instance The Cast of Beatlemania. That act captures the music of The Beatles but without all the hysteria.
"We all talk the talk," said Kaplan when asked about the rival mods, and that's it. Kaplan is a founder of CT Rockers (rockersct.com), a club devoted to both vintage and modern cafe racers and to preserving a piece of motorcycling history. According to its website, club members are also into "cracking the ton (riding above 100 mph), running red lights, riding on sidewalks, burn ups, listening to rock 'n' roll and drinking pints."
It's hard not to get the feeling, though, the CT Rockers are more into hyperbole than action, especially after Kaplan began non-aggressively explaining that his group's mod rivals are members of a club called The Pleasure Barons Scooter Club (pleasurebaronssc.com) and that they had actually been invited to provide the mod half of the 5th annual Mods V Rockers ride from Plainville to Clinton.
Howarth, looking "mod" in a seer sucker suit, was equally complimentary of his rocker rivals. "We're friendly. Seth does a great job with these events," he said. The Pleasure Barons SC was founded in 2009 with seven members who, according to its website, enjoy "pipes & cigars, cocktails & mixology, vintage motorcycles, classic cars, fraternal organizations and charitable causes," in addition to scooters.
Howarth rides a green 1975 Vespa Rally 200 scooter with vicious teeth and a menacing eye painted on the front fender. He's owned it for five years. He finds a scooter meets his needs. "They're just cool; not the fastest thing and easy to work on; fast enough for secondary roads in Connecticut," he said.
Kaplan rides a deep red 1969 BSA A65 Lightning. It has a pinup girl along with the words "Miss Behavin" painted on the oil tank and the left side cover. CT Rockers was founded in 2007 and has 140 members worldwide of which "maybe 40" ride in group events. "We were looking for like-minded people who like vintage, old-school motorcycles. It's all about cafe racers and being a rocker – wrenching on your bike," Kaplan said..
While only a few mods showed up for Saturday's ride, the rockers were better represented with a dozen or so riders. Lined up in the parking lot were vintage Nortons and Triumphs, and even a new Triumph Thruxton. Before the ride, rather than do burn outs and rev their engines, the clubs' members and their friends engaged in good-natured races in the parking lot to determine how slow riders could go.
"We're inclusive to anybody who wants to ride with us," said Kaplan of CT Rockers. "All we wanted to do was make a family of like-minded people."
The CT Rockers big event of the year is Rocker Reunion bike show, which will be held for the fifth time on Sept. 1 at J.B. Williams Park in Glastonbury. Having seen some of the classic machines that showed up for Mods V Rockers, I've already added the event to my calendar. And I'm thinking about getting some low handlebars for my 1969 Triumph T100R Daytona. Not sure if it will do a "ton," though, or if I have the nerve to try it on such a small (500cc) relic.

I have been working on learning as much as I can before starting college to change my career, and I noticed on the w3schools site that there is now html and html 5, css and css 3. Do I need to go back and learn those newer languages before moving onto PHP and MySQL?

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.
What do you mean by go back? Are you going to use them? If so, you should never stop learning.
For any language that you are using actively there is no point at which you should consider yourself "done" learning. Learning new changes in a language, as with any part of the language, is a continuous process, not a milestone.
If PHP/MySQL are your focus then learn those now. If CSS/HTML are also going to be a focus then also learn HTML5, CSS3 now (they are neither dependent on nor prerequisites of each other).
I would encourage you to take an hour and learn the new doctype and semantic tags, like <header>, <nav>, <article>, and <section>. Your PHP will output HTML, and you'll be better off if all your code produces semantic HTML from the start.
If you have another 1-2 hours to spare, you should look into HTML5 forms. It's not complicated, and it can help you make your interface much more usable with minimal effort.
You can delay learning CSS3, if you can focus on content, and not worry about presentation, while playing with PHP. I start by coding up my backend and my HTML, then I add the CSS later. So you should be able to learn CSS3 later, and come back and make your sites pretty.
You can put off for later the fancier stuff that's also called HTML5 -- canvas, geolocation, history, local storage, web sockets, webgl. They can make your interface better, but have lower returns on investment than the semantic tags or forms.
The following covers semantic forms and semantic tags reasonably well. http://6.470.scripts.mit.edu/2011/lectures/html5_css3/html/all.html
Do you need to learn them right now? No. It would probably be a good idea eventually to go back and see what has changed though. It will be a while before many companies switch over to using it, but it will eventually happen. You do not need to know them to learn PHP or MySQL though. In my opinion learning those will get you more bang for you buck than HTML 5 and CSS 3 since it sounds like you are just starting out.
Learning HTML5 and CSS3 doesn't mean you have to go back.
The HTML5 specification has been specifically written so that you can slowly integrate it into an existing HTML4 design. This means that you can simply start by placing the new HTML5 doctype at the top of your page. Then, you can replace sections of your content with relevant tags/elements.
Start incorporating it as you learn other things
I don't like this term "go back" - it implies that you've somehow missed something. Learning is a constant process - you don't miss things, you simply learn them later on. If you approach software engineering in the manner that you always need to be on the bleeding edge, you'll spend all your time learning about new frameworks and never building anything.

Reason TV finds another enemy of the state
posted at 12:55 pm on August 5, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
It didn't take Reason.TV to find an enemy of the state, as defined by the Obama administration. In fact, they found someone, in Linda Douglass' words, "with a computer and a lot of time on [his] hands" right in their own offices. Peter Suderman has been writing about the health-care issue and uses CBO estimates and Barack Obama's previous statements on single-payer systems … and therefore, Suderman must be stopped:
It's not just that you have a principled intellectual disagreement about incompetent bureaucrats controlling 15% of the economy through state-run health care, but that you write regularly about the fact that more than 88 million people could potentially lose their private, employer-based coverage. It's that you're using reliable sources, data from the CBO, and cold, hard facts to scare people when making your arguments.
Yeah, statists really hate that, don't they? And that hat looks suspiciously … nice, too.

Choking Hazards
In This Article:
Tales from the Safety Zone
The Child Safety Protection Act of 1994 made an important advance in protecting children from choking on toys. Under this law, warning labels must appear on packaging for small balls, balloons, and marbles as well as games or toys with small parts that are intended for use by children ages 3 to 6. Small toys that may pose a choking, aspiration, or ingestion hazard are banned if they are for use by children younger than age 3. The Consumer Product Safety Commission enforces the regulations and also works with toy manufacturers to make toys safe.
Toys Can Choke Kids, Too
Kids can also choke on small toys such as balls, marbles, and game pieces. Give your older kids a safe storage area for their toys, and make sure they keep their belongings stowed away from younger siblings.
Always follow the recommended age on a toy label. These ages do not reflect whether a child is developmentally advanced enough to use it but whether it poses a safety hazard to younger children.
Sometimes a toy or item of baby equipment that seems safe when it's first manufactured is later found to pose a choking hazard. In those cases, the CPSC notifies consumers and the media about recalls. You can get these notices automatically by signing up on the agency's Web site at www.cpsc.org. To report products that pose a choking hazard, call CPSC's hotline at 800-638-2772.
Don't give kids under age 3 dolls or stuffed toys with eyes, noses, or ribbons that might come off. Also, check toys regularly to make sure they are still in good condition. Sometimes parts break off. Repair or discard any toys that are broken.
Safety Savvy
Fast-food chains displayed their marketing genius by creating meals especially for children. Kids love getting a toy with their food, but be sure to tell the clerk when you order if your child is younger than 3. If that week's toy isn't suitable for younger children, the chains typically stock substitutes that are.
Wraps and Labels
Be sure to discard the packaging, including gift wrap, or ribbons—especially plastic wrap—on a new toy you give your child. Plastic labels or decals on toys and juvenile products are a choking hazard, too. Peel them off. Don't remove permanent paper warning labels, however.
Rattles and Teethers
In 1978, the U.S. government issued rules that require rattles to be large enough so that they can't lodge in a baby's throat. They also have to be sturdily made so they won't break into pieces that can be inhaled or swallowed. Sometimes these items are recalled because they pose a hazard, but not always. Don't take chances: Inspect them regularly.
Take rattles, teethers, and squeeze toys out of the crib or playpen when your baby is sleeping, and don't buy rattles or squeeze toys with ball-shaped ends.
Gadget Guide
For $1 or $2, you can buy a small parts tester at a juvenile products store. If an object is small enough to fit through the tube, it's too small for children under age 3, according to the federal standard: 11/4 inches by 11/4 inches by 21/4 inches.
If your child puts a small object in her mouth and it disappears, call your pediatrician. The item could be lodged in the esophagus or it could have gone into the digestive tract.
Most foreign bodies that are swallowed will pass through the digestive tract without doing damage, so your doctor may suggest letting nature take its course. In some cases, however, your doctor may recommend an X-ray to determine exactly where the object has gone, and the foreign body may have to be removed. Often this can be done with an endoscope that can be passed down the esophagus. Surgery is necessary only in rare cases when the object is stuck firmly or is large or sharp.

Doesn't support Blu-ray 3D, but otherwise a good playerI bought this player assuming every blu-ray player can also play back blu-ray 3D, but apparently, that's not the case. This one for example, can't play back 3D content on Blu-ray discs. It plays it back as regular blu-ray video though.

Let $X$ and $Y$ manifolds. What kind of relations between them (like homeomorphism, diffeomorphism, homotopy equivalence) gives an isomorphic quantum cohomology rings?
Quantum cohomology, and more generally Gromov Witten invariants, are invariants under deformation. Given a family $X$ of compact symplectic manifolds over a base $B$, to a path in $B$ one can associate an isomorphism between the quantum cohomology of the fiber $X_0$ over the starting pooint of the path and the qc of the fiber $X_1$ over the end point of the path. Homotopic paths (homotopic wrt end points) induce the same isomorphism. In particular $\pi_1(B,0)$ acts on the quantum cohomology of $X_0$.
If $X$ and $Y$ are Calabi-Yau threefolds which are obtained from each other from a simple flop, then their quantum cohomologies are isomorphic (Li and Ruan proved this). Lee-Lin-Wang prove the analog of this in higher dimensions. One of the things that makes this interesting is that the classical cohomology rings are not (in general) isomorphic, but the quantum cohomology rings are.
More generally, if $X$ and $Y$ are birational and $K$-equivalent (i.e. there is a resolution of the birational map $X\leftarrow W \to Y$ such that $K_X$ and $K_Y$ are isomorphic when pulled back to $W$), one expects their Gromov-Witten theories to be "equivalent". In some situations, "equivalent" will imply isomorphic quantum cohomologies, but not in general. To formulate the general equivalence properly requires Coates and Givental's Lagrangian cone formalism. Crepant resolutions are a special case of this and so the "crepant resolution conjecture" is part of this set of equivalences. Here are some papers on the subject (please forgive my laziness at only putting arXiv numbers and not journal references):
Li-Ruan arXiv:math/9803036
Bryan-Graber arXiv:math/0610129
Iritani arXiv:0809.2749
Lee-Lin-Wang math.AG/0608370
Coates-Ruan arXiv:0710.5901
I am not an expert in the field, but I guess that there are examples of diffeomorphic symplectic manifolds with non-isomorphic quantum cohomologies (hence homotopy equivalence, homeomorphism, or even diffeomorphism alone is not enough to give an isomorphism on quantum cohomology).
Two simply connected smooth 4-manifolds having the same intersection form are homotopy equivalent by a theorem of Milnor. More than that, they are homeomorphic by a famous theorem of Freedman. However, very often these manifolds are not diffeomorphic. An example of homeomorphic but non-diffeomorphic pair is the Barlow surface and the blow-up of the complex plane in 8 points. Note that both manifolds admit a Kahler structure.
In the book of McDuff - Salamon J-holomorphic curves and quantum cohomology, they describe in Example 7.3.6 a construction due to Ruan of two diffeomorphic non-deformation equivalent 6-manifolds. The manifolds are the two 4-manifolds just described, both multiplied by $\mathbb{CP}^1$ (by a result of Wall, these two homeomorphic 4-manifolds become diffeomorphic after such a stabilization).
Ruan uses quantum cohmology to prove that these two diffeomorphic symplectic 6-manifolds are not deformation-equivalent, so my guess is that he uses that their quantum cohomologies are not isomorphic as a tool.

Current version of GCC in Ubuntu 11.04 is 4.5.2. For certain C++0x features, I need GCC version 4.6, but would like to avoid compiling from source. Is there hope that Ubuntu will update GCC in the package repository before the next release in October (11.10).
This question asks a similar thing except for an earlier version of Ubuntu and GCC.
A second part of the question, if the answer is "no" to the first, then can I hope to see it appear in Ubuntu's unstable repository?

Curious but could someone enlighten me how some people are able to do vtours underwater and while in the air.
As a diver and a sky enthusiast, I would really like to try this out some day.
There is special equipment no doubt esp. for underwater (dive housing, pano head, etc), but with airplanes, is it possible to shoot a panorama from outside a Cessna 172?
All sorts of questions are coming... is the camera mounted to the wing, is it more than one camera, etc.
Also, I remember seeing a pano shot that seems to be have been taken from midair. How do they do that?
As I'm learning pano photography, there's a lot of cool stuff to learn. Pretty neat stuff!
Thanks for reading.

Fill the Boot funds also are used to support some of the 300 worldwide research projects seeking better treatments and cures for the more than 40 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and ALS.
"We know the money we raise definitely makes a difference in the lives of people affected by neuromuscular diseases, and that it helps them get the care they need," said Local #1358 President, Jesse Nicholson. "Fill the Boot is a proud tradition for us, and it's a great way for fire fighters to be out in the community reminding residents that we are here, always ready to help."
IAFF became the first national sponsor for MDA in 1954, and over the years, fire fighters have raised millions of dollars to help improve and enhance the lives of those living with neuromuscular disease. Fire fighters have raised money for MDA through their participation in the annual Fill the Boot campaign, as well as by sponsoring golf and softball tournaments. Many also contribute some of their vacation time each year to volunteer at MDA summer camps across the country.

Make-A-Wish® East Tennessee, which serves the Tri-Cities area and others, was able to grant the wishes of 73 local children with life-threatening illnesses in 2013, and with your help, they hope to do the same in 2014.
One little girl in Kingsport who had a wish granted this year was all smiles during her trip to Disney in October.
Seven-year-old Kellan is battling cancer, but she hasn't lost her spirit.
Kellan had absolutely no problem coming up with her one true wish.
It came as no surprise to her wish granters or her parents when Kellan wished to go to Disney World and meet Merida.
Kellan loves the movie "Brave", and Merida is Kellan's favorite princess.
In Kellan's words, Merida is so special to her because, "she has red hair, just like me!"
Not only did she get to meet her, they had a chance to play a game of checkers and pose for some silly pictures together, too.
Kellan's little sisters also had fun meeting Merida and many other princesses.
The whole family enjoyed huge ice cream sundaes at Give Kids the World, and they topped it all off by meeting Mickey!
Kellan and her family thoroughly enjoyed their trip to magical Disney World, and the memories they created will stay in their hearts forever.
If you would like more information on how you can help other children have their wishes granted, please visit www.etn.wish.org.

Obit: Lakeland Resident Chuck Cherundolo Was Part Of Early Steelers
Published: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 12:00 a.m.
LAKELAND | Before the Steel Curtain and Super Bowls became part of the Pittsburgh Steelers lore, there was Chuck Cherundolo, leading the Steelers to a championship.
The former All-Pro player in the 1930s and '40s as well as a coach for 22 years, Cherundolo died from heart failure on Dec. 22 in Lakeland. The fourth-oldest NFL player when he died, Cherundolo was 96.
Cherundolo was chosen to the All-Legends 1940-1950 team in Pittsburgh and was named the center on the Steelers All-Legends Team, which honored players prior to 1970.
Born in Old Forge, Pa on Aug. 8, 1916 to Pasquale and Maria Patoli Cherundolo, Cherundolo graduated from high school at 16 and Penn State University at 20. While at Penn State, Cherundolo was an honorable mention All-American playing center and middle linebacker.
He began his professional football career with the Cleveland Rams, playing three years there before moving to the Philadelphia Eagles for one season (1940). He then joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1941, where he earned back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances.
His career was interrupted by World War II, when he volunteered for the Navy and was responsible for training new recruits.
Following the war, Cherundolo resumed his NFL career and played with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 1947, Cherundolo was named team captain and was team MVP, as he led the Steelers to the NFL Championship. He retired in 1948 but stayed in football as a coach with the Steelers (1949-61), Eagles (1962-63), Washington Redskins (1964-65) and Chicago Bears (1966-68, 72-74).
In 1992, he moved to Lakeland to live with his daughter, Pat, where he stayed until he died.
Cherundolo is survived by two children, Patricia Ann Cherundolo of Lakeland and John Cherundolo and wife Betsy, of Syracuse, N.Y.; and three grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, the former Margaret Ellen Whitehead, and his siblings, John Cherundolo, Vera Sindico and Rosella Phillips.
Instead of flowers, the family requests contributions be made in Cherundolo's name to Cornerstone Hospice of Polk County, 2590 Havendale Blvd., NW, Winter Haven, 33881.

Danish Driver Dies in Le Mans Race
Danish racing driver Allan Simonsen has died following a crash on the Circuit de la Sarthe at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.
Mr. Simonsen was driving the #95 Aston Martin when he spun off the track at high speed and collided with a barrier.
The accident occurred on the 34-year old driver's fourth lap, just nine minutes into the race. Medics were quickly on the scene and a safety car was deployed.
The event's organizer, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, released a statement later through its website to announce the fatality: "In a serious condition, Allan Simonsen was transferred immediately to the Circuit Medical Center where he died soon after due to his injuries… The Automobile Club de l'Ouest will make no further statement while the exact reasons for the accident are still being wholly determined."
Mr. Simonsen had raced seven times at Le Mans, the world's most famous automobile endurance race, which is held on closed off public roads every June. The event is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year.
According to a Reuters report, Mr. Simonsen was quoted the day before his death about the race. "Just being at Le Mans and to be allowed to drive the car on the track is incredibly special," he said. "It's the biggest race for us."
Le Mans has a storied past of heroism and death. In 1955, the event was the sight of the worst car racing crash in history. Roughly 90 people were killed (exact numbers vary according to reports) when a car left the track and crashed into the crowd. In recent decades, safety precautions have been vastly improved. No driver has died at Le Mans since 1997.
This year's race is continuing and will end on Sunday.

Scientific SessionsAt the Scientific Sessions at PHA's International PH Conference, researchers and healthcare professionals will have the opportunity to engage in educational sessions about PH practice and cutting-edge research. The theme of PHA's 2016 Scientific Sessions is PH Around the World, and presentations will discuss the differences in the diagnosis, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and medical management of PH and PAH between developed and developing regions in order to facilitate the development and dissemination of novel treatment strategies for these conditions.
PH FundamentalsThe PH Fundamentals: Continuing Medical Education Sessions will focus on the essentials of PH treatment and include case-based learning on diagnosis and treatment. These sessions will take place throughout the Conference and are available for continuing education credits.

How can I ignore dependencies of a single package I am attempting to install using
yum in Scientific Linux? The answer would presumably the same for CentOS/RHEL.
To elaborate, I am looking to get the utility
lsb_release, which I know would be put into
/usr/bin/lsb_release. The command
yum whatprovides /usr/bin/lsb_release tells me that it is part of the
redhat-lsb packages (for the respective architectures), but those have a bunch of dependencies, including some X11-related.
Since I am only after the
lsb_release program, I would like to dodge the "crud" that comes with the dependencies. How can I achieve that?

ANDERSON, S.C. – After splitting its two matches last week, highlighted by a 9-0 blanking over South Atlantic Conference opponent Brevard on Thursday, Anderson University men's tennis prepares for another conference showdown with league newcomer Queens on Tuesday. First serve from Freedom Park is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
The Trojans
With a setback to Peach Belt Conference rival GRU Augusta on Friday afternoon, AU dropped to 4-5 overall and snapped a three-match winning streak. Despite the under .500 mark for the year, the Trojans are slotted third in the SAC standings, as every team is chasing undefeated Wingate, which sits atop of the standings with a 5-0 record.
Freshman Mateo Rivas was the lone Trojan to post a win against the Jaguars on Friday, earning a hard-fought three-set victory over Romain Brunie, 6-2, 2-6, 10-6 at the No. 3 position. Since moving to the No. 3 spot after the Tusculum match in late February, Rivas has grabbed three straight victories including two over SAC opponents.
In doubles, the sophomore team of Inaki Iriberry and Tomas Passalacqua are 5-4 on the season, but had their four-match winning streak snapped on Saturday by GRU Augusta.
The Royals
Queens began the 2014 campaign with six straight wins, but enter Tuesday's matchup on a three-match losing streak with setbacks to SAC foes Wingate (7-2) and Coker (6-3) and a nonconference loss to Methodist (5-4). With the 6-3 overall record, the Royals hold an even 2-2 mark in their first season as SAC members.
Most recently, Queens dropped a 6-3 decision to regionally-ranked Coker on Friday, after taking two-of-three in the doubles round. The duo of Andre Bafume and Ole-Jacob Meum claimed an 8-4 victory at the No. 2 position, while Will Roberson and Ignacio Casali tallied an 8-3 win at the No. 3 spot.
With the lead heading into the singles round, the Royals managed just one singles win as Zachary Williams, who played at the No. 6 position, cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory. Two other Royals fell in three sets in a match that lasted over five hours.
The Series
Anderson and Queens rekindle their Conference Carolinas rivalry for the first time since 2010, as the Royals captured a 7-2 win over the Trojans in the teams' last meeting on Feb. 10, 2010.

WEIRTON - It was an eventful day Saturday for John Pandelios of Weirton, as he celebrated both his 96th birthday and the recent publication of his book, "Memoirs of North Weirton, 1920 to the 1930s."
Pandelios spent part of his morning at the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center, signing copies of his book and discussing some of his memories of growing up in the area.
"What was once a community with hundreds of homes is now filled with barren lots," Pandelios said, noting he wrote the book entirely from his own recollections of the town which built up around the early days of Weirton Steel.

John Pandelios, of Weirton, was at the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center Saturday celebrating both the recent publication of his book and his 96th birthday. Pandelios' book takes a look back at his life growing up in the area of North Weirton during the 1920s and 1930s. -- Craig Howell
Proceeds from all sales of the book, which are available for $10, will benefit the Weirton museum.
Pandelios explained the early days of Weirton Steel brought immigrants from many ethnic backgrounds to the area, with the greatest number being Italian, Polish and Greek. Among those early residents was his father.
The streets of the community were made of dirt, and sidewalks were wooden. There was little electricity and limited plumbing available. Much of the upkeep was performed by the Weirton Improvement Co., which was a division of Weirton Steel.
Pandelios' book discusses many of the town's early businesses, including the Washington Restaurant and Olympic Confectionary, as well as the eight or nine coffee houses and the Lincoln Theater.
Kids would go sled riding in the winter, and play street hockey in the summer, hitting a tin can around a portion of the roadway.
"This was one of our favorite games," he said Saturday.
Street vendors, such as Michael Starvaggi and the Swearingen brothers, would walk through town selling their produce and other goods, people would often have to pay someone to get a chance at a job at the mill and then earn $1 a day for their labor, Mondays were set aside for laundry and Saturdays saw families spending time together and walking through town.
Pandelios touched on a few memorable events from his book on Saturday, including police killing a man who was trying to scavenge materials from a mill train, the funeral of the King of the Gypsies who died while he was visiting Weirton, and the smell of moonshine in the streets during Prohibition.
Pandelios also recalled a time he played a game of pool against one of the nation's more infamous personalities, not knowing who it was at the time.
"The next day, there was a picture of him in the paper," Pandelios said. "It was Pretty Boy Floyd."
Pandelios explained the downfall of North Weirton actually began following World War II, as soldiers began returning home and wanted to get their families away from the steel mill.
On Saturday, Pandelios also encouraged residents to get more involved in the Weirton museum, noting its efforts to preserve the history of the area. Those in attendance also sang "Happy birthday" to him, in both English and Greek.
