Google Maps White Screen in Intermittent Internet
I've been encountering a blank white screen in google maps when the internet connection is unreliable. The white screen then doesn't seem to recover.
This is important because I'm building an app that has a use case in areas with potentially spotty internet, so the app needs to at least recover from the blank white screen.
How to recreate problem:
-I have a tab panel where one of the tabs has an extension of Ext.Map (see code below).
-I run the sencha project in a browser (say, chrome) with internet
-Then I cut the internet before going into the map
-And then I enter the maps tab and notice a blank white screen.
If I plug the internet back in, and continue playing with the app (going back and forth between views), I notice that the google map never loads. It would be great to know whether anyone else has encountered this problem, or has any idea what could be done differently!
Ext.define('GMaps.view.Main', { extend: 'Ext.tab.Panel', xtype: 'main', requires: [ 'Ext.TitleBar', 'GMaps.view.MapView' ], config: { tabBarPosition: 'bottom', items: [ { title: 'Welcome', iconCls: 'home', items: [ { docked: 'top', xtype: 'titlebar', title: 'Welcome to Sencha Touch 2' } ], html: "New Sencha Project" }, { title: 'Maps', xtype: 'map', iconCls: 'maps', items: [ { xtype: 'titlebar', docked: 'top', title: 'Google Maps' } ] } ] } });
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
When entering the maps page without internet, there is an error getting google static maps, as seen in the chrome debugger console:
However, subsequent entries into the maps page do not produce the same error again, so could this be the reason why maps are getting stuck on the white screen after attempting to load once?
Refreshing the browser page allows the map to reload and show the tiles, and so does making another call to the google maps api.
Attempts to fix:
-Destroying and recreating: I have attempted to destroy the map after leaving the maps view, and recreate it when the user re-enters, but the maps remain blank.
-Detecting tiles on screen: I have used the google api v3 event, tilesloaded, to check when the map actually shows, but it seems to fire regardless of whether the screen is blank or if the map has rendered.
-Detecting map render: I have used the sencha event, render, for a map but the event fires regardless of whether the screen is blank or if the map has rendered.
-A workaround - unloading the google maps api and reloading it. As suggested by:
I have tried removing the div that contains the google map, and reloading the map using another call to the google maps api. However, this results in a warning: "google maps api has been included multiple times on this page," as seen in the chrome browser, which probably means the first api wasn't actually removed.
To summarize:
Problem: If the internet connection is cut before going into the maps page, the maps page becomes a blank white screen that doesn't recover, even if the internet returns or there is navigation to different views.
Question: Is there a way to recover from or work around the white screen so that the maps load properly? Thanks!

Does the http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true ever fully load or just fail out? If it's failing to load then you need to destroy the <script> and create another to get it to load.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Yes, it does load. According to stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9...-api-is-loaded), it is possible to check if the maps api has loaded.
So in the chrome console, I've entered:
Object{__gjsload__: function, Animation: Object, Circle: function, ControlPosition: Object, GroundOverlay: function…}
The result is an object, which should mean the api has loaded. This is true even if the maps screen is white/blank.
Do you have any further suggestions for me on how I could go about solving this problem? It would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance.

Count more sheep: Sleep when the baby sleeps
It's kind of ironic that sleep is the one thing you need more than anything else during early parenthood, but it's also the one thing you just cannot get enough of. Exhaustion can cause irritability and mood swings (as if you need more of those!); it can also weaken your immune system and affect your ability to concentrate, make decisions, and handle the responsibilities of being someone's mom. Babies don't typically sleep long stretches like adults do (since they like to eat every two to three hours), but they do sleep 14 to 18 hours a day. So instead of washing the dishes or checking your email, close your eyes when your baby closes hers. Even a short nap can go a long way toward reducing stress. To get some uninterrupted Zs at night, recruit help. If your baby normally eats at midnight, 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., ask hubby to take the 3 a.m. feeding every once in a while so you can get six hours of quality slumber.
Mommy time: Take good care of you
At this point you're a pro at pampering your baby, but don't forget mommy needs a little pampering as well. Whether you want to get a pedicure or pound the pavement, make time for what makes you happy. Most importantly, be sure you're taking good care of yourself. Try to eat healthily and get some exercise. Finding time to break a sweat may seem like just another item on your growing to-do list, but working out actually boosts energy and helps you conquer the long days of motherhood; plus, it naturally reduces your stress levels.
Love thy partner: Maintain a bond with your baby daddy
Nothing strains a relationship like having a baby. You may think your number one priority should be your bundle of joy—and honestly, it should—but it's beneficial for children to be raised by parents who have a strong, supportive relationship. You can't kick your man to the curb just because a new love of your life has come along! Many experts (and moms alike) recommend regular date nights, but you don't need dinner and a movie to connect with your spouse. Galena Rhoades, PhD, psychologist and senior researcher at the University of Denver, has studied the effect children can have on marriage. She recommends making an effort to bond with your partner, even if it's just through small things, like an occasional hand-in-hand stroll around the block. "It doesn't have to be an extravagant date night. It's just time when you get to connect as a couple."
After you gave birth, your social life may have vanished as quickly as your ability to laugh without leaking. But having a support system is a sanity saver, so if you don't feel connected to your non-parent pals anymore, find other moms who can relate. Pamela Zabala, a new mom in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, found a mommy group through the website meetup.com. "It was a relief to identify with other moms who were having the same sleep, relationship and health issues that I was." You can also attend mommy-and-me classes or groups in your community, or even just frequent mommy-populated areas like the park and library. You'll be surprised by how easy it is to strike up a conversation with a fellow mommy when you both have babies in tow.
A little help, please: Lean on friends and family
Every mom wants to be a superhero and do everything herself, but sometimes she just can't. So when someone offers to help, take her up on it. If your MIL arrives and asks how she can be of service, don't be bashful—hand her that laundry basket! If you don't have a crew of family and friends eager to pitch in, consider hiring some outside help. A cleaning service can be a worthwhile investment in your happiness (and may be worth sacrificing a shopping trip or two to afford), even if they just come once a month. If nothing else, splurge on a babysitter once in a while for some much-needed alone time, or enjoy a night on the town with your girlfriends.
Take a deep breath: Let it go
There's no such thing as a perfect parent. Feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and resentment are normal, so cut yourself some slack. While you're at it, maybe cut your partner some slack as well. He may not heat the bottle correctly or be a diaper-changing pro, but he's doing his best too. Having unrealistic expectations for either yourself or your partner is just setting you up for disappointment, so keep it real. If you blow your top, don't be too hard on yourself—it happens to every one of us hormone-infused new moms. Things might be stressful and a little less than perfect at the moment, but the fact that you just brought a baby home from the hospital makes you one of the luckiest people on the planet.

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

Define a holomorphic function $f\colon\mathbb{C}\setminus[-1,1] \longrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ such that $\forall z \in \mathbb{C}\setminus[-1,1] \ \left( (f(z))^{2} = z^{2} - 1\right)$ and $f(2)=\sqrt{3}$.
For any path between $2$ and $z$ that doesn't intersect the real line between $+1$ and $-1$, define $$ f(z)=\frac{\log(3)}{2}+\int_2^z\frac{\zeta\,\mathrm{d}\zeta}{\zeta^2-1} $$ Since $f'(z)=\frac{z}{z^2-1}=\frac{1/2}{z-1}+\frac{1/2}{z+1}$, after accounting for the constant of integration at $z=2$, we get that $f(z)=\frac12\log(z^2-1)$ .
Since the sum of the residues of $\frac{\zeta}{\zeta^2-1}=\frac{1/2}{\zeta-1}+\frac{1/2}{\zeta+1}$ at $\zeta=+1$ and $\zeta=-1$ is $1$, the difference of the integral between two different paths that don't intersect the real line between $+1$ and $-1$ must be an integral multiple of $2\pi i$. Thus, $e^f$ is the same over both paths.
Therefore, $e^{f(z)}=\sqrt{z^2-1}$ is well-defined independent of the path taken.
Let $\operatorname{Log} z$ denote the principal branch of the complex logarithm, i.e. the holomorphic choice of logarithm that is defined everywhere except on the negative real axis.
Note that $z^2-1 = z^2(1-\frac{1}{z^2})$ and the second factor is negative real if and only if $z \in [-1,1]$. This observation indicates that our "square root" should be
$$g(z) = z\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{z^2}} = z e^{\frac12 \operatorname{Log}(1-\frac{1}{z^2})}.$$
Make sure to check the details for yourself.
I would try the following. Define:
where $x,y,u(x,y)$ and $v(x,y)$ are real. Now impose Cauchy-Riemman equations
$$u_{x}(x,y)=v_{y}(x,y)\\ u_{y}(x,y)=-v_{x}(x,y)$$
As there are differential equations you might expect to have one undetermined constant. It will be fixed by $f(2)=\sqrt{3}$
Consider the square root function defined on $\mathbb C \setminus \mathbb R_-$ such that $\sqrt{1}=1$ (so it's an extension of the usual square root defined on $\mathbb R_+^*$). Define $f_1(z) = \sqrt{z-1} \sqrt{z+1}$ on $\mathbb C \setminus (- \infty ; 1]$ and $f_2(z) = f_1(-z)$ on $\mathbb C \setminus [- 1 ; \infty)$.
For $z \in \mathbb C \setminus \mathbb R$, we have $f_1(z)^2 = z^2-1 = (-z)^2-1 = f_2(z)^2$ so we must have $f_1/f_2 = \pm 1$ on each half-plane. Since $f_2(z)/f_1(z) = f_1(-z)/f_2(-z)$, we must have that $f_1/f_2$ is constant on $\mathbb C \setminus \mathbb R$. It turns out that $f_1 = - f_2$, so you can glue $f_1$ and $-f_2$ together to obtain a holomorphic function $f$ on $\mathbb C \setminus [-1 ; 1]$ satisfying $f(z)^2 = z^2-1$
Then you check that $f(2) = f_1(2) = \sqrt 1 \sqrt 3 = \sqrt 3$

Are there any custom players or plug-ins or something like that?
Android 2.0 does not support Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash is only supported on Android 2.2, a.k.a "Froyo".

PRETORIA, South Africa (CNN) -- Prosecutors in the Oscar Pistorius murder case will make a final push Friday to keep the acclaimed track star in jail after a bail hearing jolted by the sudden removal of the lead investigator.
The South African Police Service pulled Hilton Botha from the case Thursday after prosecutors reinstated attempted murder charges against him. Botha is accused of chasing and firing on a minibus full of people while drunk in 2011. He is charged with seven counts of attempted murder.
The allegations were the latest blow to a prosecution case that has suffered through several miscues during the bail hearing, including admissions that police could have contaminated the crime scene and failed to properly catalog evidence.
Prosecutors are trying to keep Pistorius jailed pending his trial on a charge of premeditated murder in the Valentine's Day shooting death of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp. The hearing ended Thursday with no decision on bail and is scheduled to resume Friday.
Pistorius, 26, is accused of the premeditated murder of Steenkamp after, according to prosecutors, a heated argument in the early morning hours of Valentine's Day.
The sprinter, however, says he thought an intruder was hiding in a toilet room inside the bathroom of his Pretoria home. He says he fired into the room in a fit of terror before realizing the person inside was Steenkamp.
Court officials learned Thursday that prosecutors had restored the charges against Botha in the 2011 incident. The charges had previously been withdrawn for additional investigation, but prosecutors decided Wednesday to proceed, said Commissioner Riah Phiyega of the South African Police Service.
Phiyega praised Botha, saying he is an experienced investigator who "has presented the case of the police well."
Botha was replaced by the department's most senior detective, Vinesh Moonoo, in a move Phiyega said positioned the department for a "long-haul" investigation of Steenkamp's killing.
During the three-day bail hearing, being held in a dark, stuffy Pretoria courtroom, defense attorney Barry Roux hammered away at the credibility of Botha and the entire police investigation.
He argued police had missed a bullet in the toilet of the bathroom where Steenkamp was shot and may have contaminated the crime scene by failing to wear protective foot covers.
Botha told Roux that investigators didn't wear the booties because they'd run out.
Bulelwa Makeke, the spokeswoman for South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority, said before the announcement of Botha's removal that the accusations against the investigator would be little more than a "speed bump" in the Pistorius case.
In arguments wrapping up Thursday's session, Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Pistorius' defense team has failed to explain why investigators found two cell phones and the gun believed to have been used in the shooting in front of the shower.
That goes to the prosecution claim that Steenkamp didn't merely get up to relieve herself in the middle of the night, but in fact had locked herself in the bathroom with her cell phone to protect herself from Pistorius.
Nel also said Pistorius has shown a lack of realization of what he has done and cast doubt on Pistorius' claims that one of the reasons for his extreme fear that night was that he had been a victim of burglary and violent crime in the past.

Most Eastern Catholic Churches prescribe the same fasting period as does the Latin Church: the communicant must fast for 1 hour before receiving communion.
Guess this means I can eat my 'Big Mac' in the church parking lot since it takes about 1 hr for the Liturgy to progress to the point of despensing Communion if I join an Eastern Catholic under Rome Church .
Thats a pity that Eastern Catholics do not know enough about their traditions as passed down to them. I mean a one hour fast thats not even a fast by any stretch of the imagination. Talk about modernism. When things get tough just run a quickly as my feet can take me to a local RCC. JoeS

The Energy Bridge, hard plastic located between the heel and forefoot, offers lateral stability, and the Vi-Pod shock absorbing technology cushions the heel. The Prestige Pro feels substantial on your foot, but it won't slow you down. In fact, unlike many performance shoes, which typically favor support over comfort, the Prestige Pro received higher scores from our women weartesters, who have usually preferred comfort-oriented rides.

I was thinking about apple, but would apply to any fruit.
I've done this both ways and prefer to freeze my fruit pies before I bake them. You have to bake them longer (20 min to 1/2 hour) and will need to use foil to be sure the crust doesn't come out too dark. No soggy crust this way.
You can certainly freeze them, I do it all the time.
Let them cool to room temperature on the counter.
Seal them well, I tend to use good plastic freezer bags and use a straw to suck the air out.
Don't stack them until they are frozen solid.
Nice to eat later in the winter, when there is snow around and have a little taste of summer/fall. (I tend to do several peach and several apple.)
You can certainly freeze them. You can also freeze component parts. I've frozen balls of pie crust and re-used later - my crust is butter based, so it is easier to work with when cold (just thawed, for example). I have 7 containers of peach filling (I don't like spices in most fruit pies, so it is just peaches, sugar, and some of the juices from the peaches) in my freezer. When I take it out, I will thaw, add instant tapioca pearls, and bake. If I have room in my freezer come apple season (which I probably won't), I'll probably freeze apple slices as well.
You could also, if you liked, par bake your crust to get it more ready for baking and freeze in a pie plate, then throw everything else in, add a top crust, and go when you are ready to eat.
I brown the lower crust put in my home grown apricot filling top the pie with unbaked crust then freeze. Later in the year I pull one out , let it thaw and bake as normal. Perfect, I am eating a hot pc. with ice cream right now!

No! The types of online courses offered in a higher education setting

Well I never made any secret of it. I made a DVD and am submitting it to BBQ pitmasters today. I have no clue if I fit the bill or if I will get to be on it but I at least can say I tried. Its better to have tried and failed then never to have tried at all. Who knows if they want a mom of 3 from the suburbs. I don't come from a BBQ background. I didn't grow up in the South. I didn't even try really great BBQ until a few short years ago. Plus theres that whole I am a Canadian Chick in the pits thing. Oh and seriously I don't look a model. I don't own a jambo. I use pellets and charcoal. I don't have a fancy schmancy rv. I sleep on a military cot in my bare bones yet functional cargo trailer. Hmmm. Oh well. At the end of the day no one knows if they have what they are looking for. This I do know for sure. I can talk well on TV. Cameras don't scare me, I am unlike anyone else out there and I know I make some really damn fine BBQ. I hope all my BBQ friends have submitted tapes. goodness knows there are a whole lot of really interesting personalities out there.
Over the last two weeks I have received tons of emails and talked to lots of BBQ folk about the new season. The responses are really varied. Some are very cynical and state they think JM already has his picks and he is doing this to keep people off his back. Others say this is just a ploy to get more attention. Personally I don't really care one way or another. I think its a good idea to ask for submissions. Makes sense to me.
Additionally some people have stated they hate the new format already. Um I am not sure I understand this since none of use really know what exactly the new format is. Right now its just a bunch of talk. A bunch of guesses.Seriously Ill reserve judgment for when I actually see the new format.
This is what was posted from John Markus Exec Producer BBQ Pitmasters:
It's official. Our new format features FOUR different pitmasters competing in EACH episode. We are looking to augment our cast from last season and welcome all interested cooks to throw their aprons in the ring. Send your audition tape/DVD, selling us on why you should be picked to compete against the best. To: Lindsay Freed c/o Original Media, 38 E. 29th St., 8th FL, NY, NY 10016. Or, you can email a file of your audition to email@example.com. Send your ?'s there as well. Shooting schedule April 30th – June26th. Good luck and see you on the trail!
Then there are a few posts from JM on Twitter:
It's official. BBQ Pitmasters Season #2 picked up by TLC. Will be posting info on casting within the hour here and on various BBQ forums.

TLC is hoping to add some sizzle to its freshman cooking reality series BBQ Pit Masters by changing its programming recipe from a docu-reality show to a competition-based series for its second season.
The new season will feature a weekly competition between several chefs, with each weekly winner eventually squaring off against each other in the final episode, according to TLC officials. The show will feature BBQ Pit Masters stars such as Myron Mixon and Le Ann Whippen in "some capacity" on the show, said TLC officials.
BBQ Masters joins Cake Boss, Ultimate Cake Off and Cupcake Sisters as cooking-related shows on the Discovery Communications-owned network this year.
Overall I think no matter what its just more exposure for competition BBQ and really I think thats whats most important. Get it out there to more of the public. Let them know how much fun it is. How great the people are.

Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Sponsors Make-A-WishMarch 18, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – The Anderson University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has designated this entire week as "Wish Week" as part of its' ongoing fundraising efforts to help raise money for a worthwhile cause.
Each year, NCAA Division II institutions participate in a variety of fundraisers to help raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. The AU SAAC collects donations for this great cause throughout the academic year. Some examples are passing the buckets at home events and once a month "dorm invasions." So far this year, the committee has raised approximately $1,300, but the goal for each South Atlantic Conference institution is $2,000. With that in mind, the SAAC decided to focus an entire week toward raising funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.
This week, the committee will sell Make-A-Wish® Stars on campus. Each star will cost $1, and to show the support of the Anderson University campus, every star that is purchased will be displayed at the home softball game on Saturday, March 22. Students, staff and faculty should be on the lookout for a SAAC member and be sure to purchase those stars. The committee's goal is to sell 300 stars which will raise $300 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.
On Wednesday, the SAAC will hold a "Minute to Win It to Make-A-Wish® Come True" event in the Abney Athletic Center. The Student Government Association is co-sponsoring this event, and everyone on campus is encouraged to participate. Registration will be held through Wednesday at various on campus locations. The early registration cost is $5 per team, and late registration (at the door) will cost $7 per team. Two-person teams will compete in various "Minute to Win It" games for a chance to win Zaxby's gift cards.
Finally, on Saturday, Keiden Howard, a local child who received his wish - a trip to Disney World - from the Make-A-Wish Foundation® last summer will be recognized prior to the first softball game (2 p.m.) and will throw out the first pitch. The SAAC is excited about having a family from the local Make-A-Wish® chapter on campus, and they hope to have a large crowd on hand to welcome Keiden and his family.
The entire Anderson University community is encouraged to participate in all events to help the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee have a successful week for the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.
Every 38 minutes, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories. The foundation believes that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides them in everything they do. It inspires them to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids they serve. A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing and able to battle their life-threatening medical conditions. For many, the wish marks a turning point in the fight against their illnesses. Doctors, nurses and other health professionals say, the wish experience works in concert with medicine to make their patients feel better emotionally and even physically. That is why wishes matter. That is why the foundation grants wishes.

Sorry for all the words....but this is pretty BIG. A lot of official statements about the positives of Mountain Bikers on FS trails...specifically a National Scenic Trail...
That and the HUGE statement that Mountain bikes are considered a "semi-primitive" mode of travel. Many of these statements directly contradict what the anti-sharing people claim...and debunks many of their arguments to keep us off trails.
From the Sharing the PCT Facebook page: (edited to remove some content...very long )
Forest Service made a major announcement in favor of mountain biking on National Scenic Trails. The PCT is one National Scenic Trail; the Continental Divide Trail (CDNST) is another.
The Forest Service in Colorado has reversed course about mountain biking on a 31-mile planned CDNST reroute and will allow bicycles.
They recognize that the CDNST's primary use is for hiking and horseback riding, and yet mountain biking should be allowed where it will not interfere with those primary uses. The documents conclude that in low-visitation areas no meaningful interference is likely and multiuse is beneficial.
__________________________________________________ ________
The full text of the documents below:
Environmental Assessment:
__________________________________________________ ________
Some tasty nuggets from the decision (again from the Sharing the PCT FB page):
[header: Biking [Is] Not Substantial Interference with Nature and Purposes of the Act]
We believe the selection of Alternative 5 [allowing bicycling, horse use, and hiking on the proposed 31 miles of new CDNST trail to be constructed] meets the most objectives of both the CDNST and the CT [Colorado Trail] as detailed in our analysis below.
We have thoroughly analyzed the laws, regulations and policy in order to determine that including mountain bikes on this segment is not a substantial interference with the nature and purposes of the Act. [The Act means the Trails System Act of 1968, 16 U.S.C. § 1241 et seq.]
Our review of law, policy and direction together with the considerations specific to this segment indicates that bikes are an appropriate use of the CDNST. . . . [U]se of bikes on this segment does not cause a substantial interference with nature and purposes of The Act.
We believe Maximum outdoor recreation potential for conservation and enjoyment . . . (16 U.S.C. 1242) is best met through the inclusion of bikes in these multiple-use management areas on both the GMUG [Gunnison] and RNF [Rio Grande] [national forests].
Bikes are considered a semi-primitive non-motorized use.
After reviewing the effects analysis presented in the EA, we have found no substantial interference from the inclusion of bikes with the nature and purposes of The Act.
Our decision to include bikes on this segment supports multiple-use, non-motorized family recreation in a wide variety of unpopulated ecosystems consistent with the goals of the CT [Colorado Trail]. Selection of a hiker/horse only alternative would have undermined the duality of the non-motorized trail.
Volunteer base consistent with The Act (16 U.S.C. 1250) is primarily mountain biking clubs in this area. Due to limited agency funding and staffing, the GMUG [Gunnison] and RGNF [Rio Grande] [national forests] would rely heavily on these groups for the sustainable construction and long-term maintenance of this trail. CTF [Colorado Trail Foundation] would be the likely continue to be coordinator/agency partner for this segment of coincident CDNST/CT who would network with other non-motorized groups if bike use were included.
Many hikers have expressed a desire for trail design that avoids pointless ups and downs, moderate grades, grade control (switchbacks), and proper drainage (all features similar to Trail Class 3 with the designed use of Hiker); these nearly identical design features would also be accomplished though our recommendation of Trail Class 2 or 3 with use designed for Bicycle which has the added capacity for volunteer construction and maintenance that is not likely to be generated by hiking groups alone in this remote area of Colorado.
While we understand CDNST thru-hiker desires for exclusive use of the trail, exclusion of bikes (and for that matter horses), would not be an environmentally or fiscally responsible decision on our part. We believe that if we considered only hiker/horse use, the trail would never be fully constructed and maintenance would rarely occur because of the lack of established hiker or backcountry horseman volunteer groups...
Local communities rely on tourism generated by opportunities on federal lands. Rural communities would experience the largest economic benefit from the inclusion of all three user groups who would spend money on gas, food, lodging, supplies and equipment.
and yes...MORE:
Commenters expressed concern that the use of bikes on this segment of trail would encourage illegal use of the CDNST in the La Garita Wilderness. This segment joins the existing non-motorized alignment before the wilderness boundary where this had not previously been an over-arching concern. This trail junction further serves as an entry/exit point back to the road system for bikers wishing to make a loop. While illegal use may occasionally occur in the wilderness, it is not anticipated to be more of a concern on the new alignment than on the existing route.
Many segments of the CDNST in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico (where not in designated wilderness) include mountain bikes as a valid use.
II. Forest Service replies to comments in the EA:
Policy (FSM 2353.44b(9)) directs that generally the CDNST should be designed for either Trail Class 2 or Trail Class 3 with a designed use of Pack and Saddlestock. Both of these trail classes and associated design features are very similar for either hikers or mountain bikes . . . . Allowing horse uses which is also compatible with the Act increases the footprint of the trail beyond what is needed for either hikers or mountain bikers. Slope (grade) is not expected to be a factor in the design as it is estimated at less than 10% for the proposed alignment.
EA has considered whether or not a substantial interference with the nature and purposes of the Act would occur with the inclusion of bikes. EA has considered best available science regarding social and resource impacts. None of the readily available science suggests a relationship to clothing of bikers affecting horses. We would assume that a bikers physiological response on a horse would be similar to that of other animals which we have discussed under wildlife comments below.
While designated wilderness areas do preclude recreational mechanized transport, many other trails are open to mountain bikes in the vicinity even though the opportunity for specifically non-motorized trails appears to be limited.
[Comment: Bicyclists search for wilderness quality experiences, just like the hiker and equestrian. Bicycling is entirely consistent with the nature and purposes of the CDNST. Bicycling is common in Roadless Areas nationwide.] Reply: User is correct. . . . EA has considered whether or not a substantial interference with the nature and purposes of the Act would occur with the inclusion of bikes.
We believe proper trail design will minimize conflict potential. Commenters signing suggestions are valid. We will work with our partners to determine what works best for this remote and likely little used site.
[Comment: User conflict will occur, including displacement and disruption of the hiking and quieter trail experiences. The look and feel of mountain bike riding, the speeds, sports gear, relationship to a machine and other aspects of the sport are incompatible with the contemplative, slower paced trail uses envisioned for the trail.] Reply: The Act did not prohibit biking or motorized uses. The Act (16 U.S.C. 1242) describes that National Scenic Trails will be extended trails so located as to provide for maximum outdoor recreation potential and for the conservation and enjoyment of the nationally significant scenic, historic, natural, or cultural qualities of the areas through which such trails may pass. The 1976 Study Report further describes the purposes of the CDNST: The primary purpose of this trail is to provide a continuous, appealing trail route, designed for the hiker and horseman, but compatible with other land uses. . . . One of the primary purposes for establishing the CDNST would be to provide hiking and horseback access to those lands where man's impact on the environment has not been adverse to a substantial degree and where the environment remains relatively unaltered. Therefore, the protection of the land resource must remain a paramount consideration in establishing and managing the trail. There must be sufficient environmental controls to assure that the values for which the trail is established are not jeopardized. . . . The basic goal of the CDNST is to provide hikers and horseback riders an opportunity to experience the diverse country along the Continental Divide in a manner that will assure a high quality recreation experience while maintaining a constant respect for the natural environment.

What is the best way to hide or remove languages from the spell checker? I want to reduce the available languages down to only three entries.
I've found a way to do this in javascript. The languages are not actually removed and the script must be run every time a page loads in edit mode, but the result is that any language(s) can be hidden from the spell-checker list.
The languages available to the spell checker is exposed in a global javascript object
To remove languages you don't want to display simply remove them from the languages array.
This is a short version of the code I'm using (requires jQuery):

I found myself needing the sniper more and more as I get into Mass Effect, taking out targets from fairly far ranges. How can I reduce my sway when zoomed in, and efficiently take out my targets with less shots? I find waiting for the cooldown can even give enough time for my enemy to get close
Sniping can be difficult at lower levels, especially if you haven't progressed far enough to have come across decent rifles. Additionally, if you haven't chosen a class with the sniper rifle talent (Soldier or Infiltrator), I'd probably just choose a different offensive strategy.
Keep in mind that even if you can't snipe, Garrus can if you equip him appropriately, and he gets an additional accuracy and sniper rifle damage bonuses from points invested in Turian Agent. Of course, relying on your squad members exclusively will almost always get you into trouble, so assuming you can properly wield a sniper rifle, there are a few things you should consider.
First, rifle choice is key. Like with virtually all weapon classes your best choice is Spectre Gear, but there are alternatives when that isn't available. If you find yourself picking up level IV weapons, I recommend trying to find a Striker (Devlon Industries). If you find yourself picking up level VII weapons, look for a Punisher (Armax Arsenal). If you're at an earlier stage, look for an Equalizer (Haliat Armory).
Once you have a decent rifle, investing points into the sniper rifle talent goes a long way. After you get to a certain level, with the right rifle there will be virtually no sway when aiming down the scope. For earlier on though, tactical use of Assassination can be helpful – just keep in mind that it has a 45 second cooldown.
After weapon choice and talent assignment, you should consider adding both ammo and weapon upgrades to your sniper rifle. Most of the sniper rifles at minimum do nearly enough damage to kill, so be sure to pick ammo upgrades that will maximize damage against the types of targets you're going up against.
For instance, Anti-personnel/Shredder (for organics) and Armor-piercing/Tungsten (for synthetics) are typically reasonable options, although once accuracy has improved enough I prefer Sledgehammer rounds. You can also give Chemical/Polonium rounds a shot, with the hope that the target will die from toxic damage before they're close enough to return fire.
When it comes to weapon upgrades, I find the heat absorption and stability modifications work well for me. These come in the form of Heat Sink/Frictionless Materials and Recoil Damper/Kinetic Stabilizer/Kinetic Coil, respectively. Depending on your needs and number of upgrade slots, Combat Optics aren't a bad choice either when they become available, since you get the detection level bonus and an increase in accuracy.
Beyond that, there are a few more minor things to consider:

As you take in your next breath of air, you can thank a form of microscopic marine life known as plankton.
They are so small as to be invisible, but taken together, actually dwarf massive creatures like whales. Plankton make up 98 percent of the biomass of ocean life.
"This invisible forest generates half of the oxygen generated on the planet," Chris Bowler, a marine biologist, tells Guy Raz, host of weekends on All Things Considered.
And, as climate change alters the temperature and acidity of our waters, this mysterious ocean world may be in jeopardy.
It's Bowler's mission to learn as much as possible about plankton — before the tiny creatures disappear. Bowler is the scientific coordinator of an around-the-world voyage named the Tara Oceans expedition. Aboard an 118-foot schooner, a team of marine scientists culled the world's waters for 21/2 years, studying plankton.
"By understanding the plankton communities, which are associated with areas that are more or less polluted, or more or less acidic, we hope that we'll get a feel for what sort of organisms prefer which kinds of conditions," Bowler says.
So as the oceans change in the future, he says, "we will be able to sort of see — predict which of these species are likely to go extinct, which ones are likely to migrate, which ones are likely to take their place."
Though the main voyage has ended, the work has only just begun. The biggest catch so far? Discovering up to a million new species of microorganisms.
"That's sort of a reflection of our ignorance of ocean life," Bowler says. "Particularly the microscopic world, which is difficult to study."
The expedition brought home around 27,000 samples, "a snapshot of the state of the oceans at the beginning of the 21st century," Bowler says.
"It's certainly going to be at least 10 years before I think we've gotten to the bottom of these samples," he says.
By then, he says he hopes they will start to develop a picture of how the oceans might look after a hundred years or more of climate change.
"It's going to be a continual discovery process, I think," he says.

I am having someone develop a program for me and I want to sell it for like $10.
I was wondering what's the best way to create a trial version that I can tell my programmer to do. Like 30 day trial.
And what's one way I can make it so once they pay, I can send them a unlock code. What's done in the program to allow that?
If you could give me an answer that I could tell my programmer, that would be much appreciated.

In vim, if you are in block insert mode (
Ctrl-V, Shift-I) and exit using
Ctrl-C (instead of
Esc), it cancels the block edit (and only edits the first row).
Why is this? In almost all other contexts,
Ctrl-C and
Esc are synonymous. (And ideally there's a way to fix this -- I've now gotten used to doing
Ctrl-C and it would be a shame if I had to relearn…)

Why did so many travel to Newtown?
Newtown. Why did we go there? Because we needed to be there — all of us — to bring Light. To come face to face with unholy darkness and listen as it held its breath and trembled as we approached, with our lights, to pierce it with the Light of the very Christ Himself, to spread ever outward creating a pool of healing light, dispelling our darkness and giving us Holy Hope.
We needed to be there to ask Him to turn our mourning into joy and our unholy darkness into Holy Light. And we needed to go there to that place in search of the Good Friday Man who walked away from death. We needed to come in our sorrow. We needed to just be there, not knowing what to say or quite how to say it. We needed to be in the company of kindred spirits. We needed to be there so that together, we could scream out our "Yes" that although we sometimes flirt with him, we do reject Satan, and all his works and all his empty promises.

Henan Billions is currently a supplier of sulfate-grade TiO2 to PPG. In June 2012, both companies announced a memorandum of understanding regarding PPG's licensing of certain chloride-based technologies to Henan Billions for use at Henan Billions' titanium dioxide refinement facilities in China.
PPG Industries on Wednesday entered into a technology
license agreement with China-based Henan Billions Chemicals
that will provide Henan Billions the right to use PPGs technology to
produce chloride-grade titanium dioxide (TiO2) on a
global basis.
The agreement completes the license of PPG technology previously announced by
both companies.
Terms of the license agreement were not disclosed.
We are pleased to reach this worldwide technology
license agreement with Henan Billions as it should expand the
global supply of chloride-grade titanium dioxide, as well as
provide a commercial opportunity for PPG technology, said
Charles F. Kahle II, PPG chief technology officer and vice
president, coatings research and development.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

If you consider $f=\frac{P}{Q}$ the quotient of two polynomial function (i.e. $P,Q\in \mathbb{C} [z]$) then $\frac{f'}{1+|f|^2}$ decrease like $\frac{1}{z}$. My question is, is the converse true? is an meromorphic function(define on the whole plane) which satisfies
as $z$ goes to infinity, is the quotient of two polynomial function?
Of course considering this quotient come from the metric of the sphere, and my question could be is any parametrization of the sphere with such a decreasing is of finite type?

Two-year series commences at Dia:Beacon with Discussions on September 3 and October 1, 2011
New York, NY–Dia Art Foundation is pleased to present The Pure Awareness of the Absolute/Discussions, a work of art by Ian Wilson, at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, in New York's Hudson Valley. Organized by Dia curator Yasmil Raymond, The Pure Awareness of the Absolute/Discussions will take place between September 2011 and June 2013, and the first Discussions will be held on Saturday, September 3, 2011, and Saturday, October 1, 2011. Participation is by invitation only. Subsequent dates will be announced on www.diaart.org/wilson.
Since 1968, Wilson has engaged in a continuing series of "Oral Communication" events, which he calls Discussions. These artworks were initiated with the intention of creating an art form that would leave no residue and would exist only during its occurrence. Discussions have taken place in galleries, institutions, and private homes, among other locations, and were first hosted within a museum context in 1977 at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. At the artist's request, these language artworks are neither recorded nor transcribed.
Trained as a painter, Wilson's Discussions emerged from an exploration of abstraction throughout the 1960s that was guided by an abiding interest in nonobjective representation. During this decade, his artwork evolved from pared-down, monochromatic paintings into increasingly intangible pieces, such as Chalk Circle on the Floor (1968) and Circle on the Wall (1968), which have unlimited editions and are installed according to instructions.
These drawings were Wilson's final pictorial objects, and his subsequent shift to spoken artworks that same year reflects his conclusion that material objects are not vital to the process of conveying value and meaning. As he has stated in 1994, "Language is the most formless means of expression. Its capacity to describe concepts without physical or visual references carries us into an advanced state of abstraction."
At Dia:Beacon, Wilson will continue his long-term exploration of consciousness, language, and the formless concept of abstraction. Led by the artist in a dedicated gallery, several participants will engage in a 45-minute conversation on "The Pure Awareness of the Absolute." The Discussions may take place while walking through the galleries of Dia's collection, which features works by many of the artist's peers, including Lawrence Weiner, On Kawara, and Robert Ryman, whom he befriended in New York in the late 1960s. The open-ended character of the Discussions and the verbal engagement between the participants will determine the duration of each artwork.
Ian Wilson
Born in South Africa 1940, Ian Wilson came to the United States in 1960 and lived in New York City from 1966 to 1986. He has lived in New York's Hudson Valley for the past 15 years. Wilson has exhibited internationally since the mid-1960s, and has engaged in Discussions at venues including John Weber Gallery, New York (1972–76); Konrad Fischer Galerie, Dusseldorf (1970, 1972); the California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles (1971); New York University, New York (1971, 1977); Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (1970, 1975); Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherlands (1976–83, 1985, 1986, 2005, 2009); Documenta 7, Kassel, Germany (1982); Centre Pompidou, Paris (1981, 2005); Galerie Jan Mot, Brussels (2004, 2006, 2008, 2011); Museum Kunstpalast, Dusseldorf (2005); Peter Blum Gallery, New York (2007); Swiss Institute, New York (2007); Yvon Lambert Galery, New York (2007); Museion Bolzano (2008); Galleria Massimo Minini, Brescia (2009); and Galerie Jan Mot and Galleria Massimo Minini at Art Basel 41 (2010).
A catalogue raisonné recording participant reactions to the discussions was produced by the Van Abbemuseum in collaboration with Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) and Musée d'art moderne et contemporain (Mamco), Geneva, in 2008. It is available at the Dia:Beacon bookshop and www.diaabooks.org.
Wilson's work is included in private and public collections, including Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, Milan; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Musée d'art moderne et contemporain, Geneva; ZKM/Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany; and most recently the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

In an exercise in his algebraic topology book, Munkres asserts that $\mathbf{C}P^n$ is triangulable (i.e., there is a simplicial complex $K$ and a homeomorphism $|K| \rightarrow \mathbf{C}P^n$). Can anyone provide a reference or a proof?
I will present a triangulation of $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$. More specifically, I will give an explicit regular CW structure on $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$. As spinorbundle says, the first barycentric subdivision of a regular CW complex is a simplicial complex homeomorphic to the original CW complex.
Recall that to put a regular CW complex on space $X$ means to decompose $X$ into disjoint pieces $Y_i$ such that:
(1) The closure of each $Y_i$ is a union of $Y$'s.
(2) For each $i$, the pair $(\overline{Y_i}. Y_i)$ is homemorphic to $(\mbox{closed}\ d-\mbox{ball}, \mbox{interior of that}\ d-\mbox{ball})$ for some $d$.
The barycentric subdivision of $X$ corresponding to this regular CW complex is the simplicial complex which has a vertex for each $Y_i$ and has a simplex $(i_0, i_1, \ldots, i_r)$ if and only if $\overline{Y_{i_0}} \subset \overline{Y_{i_1}} \subset \cdots \subset \overline{Y_{i_r}}$.
Write $(t_1: t_2: \ldots: t_n)$ for the homogeneous coordinates on $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$. For $I$ a nonempty subset of $\{ 1,2, \ldots, n \}$, let $Z_I$ be the subset of $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$ where $|t_i|=|t_{i'}|$ for $i$ and $i' \in I$ and $|t_i| > |t_j|$ for $i \in I$ and $j \not \in I$. Note that $Z_I \cong (S^1)^{|I|-1} \times D^{2(n-|I|)}$, where $D^k$ is the open $k$-disc. Also, $\overline{Z_I} = \bigcup_{J \supseteq I} Z_J \cong (S^1)^{|I|-1} \times \overline{D}^{2(n-|I|)}$ where $\overline{D}^k$ is the closed $k$-disc.
We now cut those torii into discs. For $i$ and $i'$ in $I$, cut $Z_I$ along $t_i=t_{i'}$ and $t_i = - t_{i'}$. So the combinatorial data indexing a face of this subdivision is a cyclic arrangement of the symbols $i$ and $-i$, for $i \in I$, with $i$ and $-i$ antipodal to each other. For example, let $I=\{ 1,2,3,4,5 \}$ and write $t_k=e^{i \theta_k}$ for $k \in I$. Then one of our faces corresponds to the situation that, cyclically, $$\theta_1 < \theta_2 = \theta_4 + \pi < \theta_3 = \theta_5 < \theta_1+ \pi < \theta_2 + \pi = \theta_4 < \theta_3 + \pi = \theta_5 + \pi < \theta_1.$$ This cell is clearly homeomorphic to $\{ (\alpha, \beta) : 0 < \alpha < \beta < \pi \}$. Similarly, each of these cells is an open ball, and each of their closures is a closed ball. We have put a CW structure on the torus.
Cross this subdivision of the torus with the open disc $D^{2(n-|I|)}$. The result, if I am not confused, is a regular $CW$ decomposition of $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$.
I think the comments answer the question, but to give you a reference:
Milnor, Stasheff: Characteristic Classes, Chapter 6
They prove that every Grasmann manifold $G_n(\mathbb{R}^m)$ is a CW-Complex. (The cells are constructed with Schubert symbols). The complex case works in the same fashion.
EDIT: Sorry for the sloppiness!
Edit 2: $\oplus$: Perhaps the next sloppiness: The CW-structure of $\mathbb{CP}^n$ obtained by Schubert cells isn't regular (the characteristic map is 2-to-1) but I think there exists a regular CW-structure. But this might be harder to prove than I thought?!
An online search yielded a reference to Francis Sergeraert's paper, Triangulations of complex projective spaces, available at http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~sergerar/Papers/ . But, to quote the author: "The Kenzo program is used to automatically produce triangulations of the complex projective spaces $P^nC$ as simplicial sets, more precisely of spaces having the right homotopy type. The homeomorphism question between the obtained objects and the projective spaces is open."
Here is an article on explicit triangulation on $CP^n$, http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.2568.

For example - one program at work has this annoying popup which requires me to put in my username/password but in a strange format that I can never remember - I have an email from a colleague telling me what that is. Another has quick instructions on how to find something on my health insurance website (because it's really counterintuitive).
I've got about 50 or so emails like this, with instructions for things that range from one line to a page of text or so. I have them in a folder in my email program. This works pretty well (and it's good in the sense that I often remember "oh, I remember getting an email about that" so I know it's there). But I know some people are intent on getting everything out of email and only using it for communication, and more importantly I have many other notes like this that are stored elsewhere (text files, documents, etc.).
What's the best thing to do with all of these notes (email or otherwise) so they're easily accessible and I can quickly find what I need?

Is there a quantitative method in monitoring trades to reduce the possibility of correlated trades?
The most straightforward approach is to develop a covariance matrix to ensure that you are not overweighting to the same factors or bets in your trading. The covariance matrix can be built off of a factor model, for example, or you can construct a covariance matrix based on your prediction signals if you have multiple models. In this way you can understand the ex-ante historical correlation of your trades.
Note that there is a considerable amount of art in designing a covariance matrix (See Fabozzi).
Without understanding more about your approach it's hard to be more helpful than the above approach.
Historical correlation isn't as useful as you might think. Like volatility, correlation is not constant. During times of stress, it is common for the correlation of many different assets to increase/change.
As examples, look at the data for August 2007, the last quarter of 2008, and May 6, 2010. Any trading scheme that minimized correlation before those periods probably had a much different affect during those periods.
Edit 1 (05/10/2011) ===========================
I've bumped into all sorts of problems with this issue, with the estimation itself involving large errors. If you dig around, you'll find several papers with important improvements.
