Does anyone know any secure source code review tool for jQuery/jQueryUI. I've looked around a bit but couldn't find anything. Its too good if it is opensource.
Very few vulnerabilities exist in client side code when compared to other components in a modern web application. Even if you have a very obvious CWE-602 violation the vulnerability exists because of a lack of server-side controls. No tool that I am aware of can detect CWE-602 violations.
That being said the client isn't totally exempt from vulnerabilities. The two biggest problems being mixed content vulnerabilities and dom based xss. Domsnitch is one of the few tools that is able to detect both of these, although it also produces a large number of false positives.
There are also commercial tools that perform static code analysis of JavaScript for the purpose of finding vulnerabilities. HP Fortify and IBM's AppScan are examples of this type of software.
I don't know of a good security code review tool that focuses on jQuery.
For plain Javascript, Douglas Crockford's JavaScript: The Good Parts + JSLint is an excellent tool that will help you avoid many bugs in your code, possibly including security bugs.
If possible, I recommend setting a restrictive Content Security Policy (CSP) and writing your Javascript to comply with the CSP. This will probably be most feasible for new code, but it may not be feasible if you already have a large amount of existing code.
In particular, I recommend setting a CSP that bans
There is a way of securing Ajax Calls with :
jQuery Deferred Objects Promise Callbacks
And create a global function and use it with the deferred Object.
But on Jquery Support they say there is no way how to hide or secure Jquery(js) Code
Its the client side they can do what ever they wants to!
My advise : is to use unormale short and not descriptive variable when using ajax or even in any func
Just do it in Facebook Way do they send /like.php?_a=1 for a like in ajax and _a=0 for a dislike

I have a Specialized HardRock from the '90s. It's seen better days, but I got it for cheap. I had a bike shop look it over, but for some reason the guys missed the rounded off teeth on the front gears. Whenever I ride it, the chain slips every few rotations. I'd like to get a new crankset, but i'm not quite sure what will work and what won't. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

The main intercompatibility issues with cranksets are the connection between the crank arms and the bottom bracket spindle.
Most bikes from that age (not to say all mountainbikes) use square taper bottom bracket, for which is very easy to find good quality cranksets.
These look like the leftmost spindle in the picture above (which also show newer types, that are less likely to be what you need):
You might also take a look at the page from where that image came, in the excelent website of Sheldon Brown:
Other compatibility issues might be related to the length of the bottom bracket and the length for which the crankset was designed. Using different-sized bottom brackets and cranksets might result in a misaligned chainline, an ill-working front derailer, or in extreme cases a chainring running too close to the frame. This is so for tapered square, but I am not sure about the other types.
From the description of the problem --- rounded teeth on the chainring --- there is no need to be replacing the crankset. Simply replacing the chainring in question should take care of the problem. It's almost certainly a 5-bolt 110mm BCD chainring which should be available in any bike shop.
It looks like this bike likely came with a square taper bottom bracket and crankset. I'd recommend taking the dust caps off your crank arms and verifying this first. You may also need to remove the bolt holding the crank on the bike. If it is indeed a square taper (you'll see a square box sized hole in the crank where the bolt was), then that's good news. It's really easy to find cranks that will fit a square taper bottom bracket.
Something like this FSA Crankset would probaby be a decent replacment for not a lot of cash http://www.amazon.com/FSA-DynaDrive-Sqare-Crankset-22-32-44/dp/B001PT7TM2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_3
Square taper comes in subtypes:
To some degree, these can be used interchangeably. However, the resulting small misfit will push the chainline in or out. Sheldon Brown covers this:
You can Google Velobase for all the possible Square Taper ISO cranks

What Is Chorionic Villus Sampling?
Baby Talk
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a diagnostic test that can be given as early as the 9th week of pregnancy to identify or rule out certain birth defects.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a diagnostic test that can identify or rule out certain birth defects. It is similar to an amniocentesis, with one major advantage: It can be done as early as the 9th week of pregnancy. This difference becomes important if the test reports the presence of a birth defect and the parents wish to have an abortion. It is always best to have an abortion as early in the pregnancy as possible.
An amniocentesis is rarely performed before the 12th week, and it can take several more weeks to learn the results. This long wait makes medically necessary abortions much more difficult both emotionally and physically.
CVS is not routinely offered to all pregnant women. Like amniocentesis, it carries the risk of miscarriage and possibly other complications such as limb abnormalities if performed before the 10th week. But it is an option for women who fit into one of these categories:
- Women over age 35. The risk of bearing a child with certain chromosomal birth defects increases as a woman ages.
- Women with a history of bearing a child (or children) with a birth defect.
- Women whose family medical history shows their children may be at risk for inheriting a genetic disorder.
Hey Mom!
When you schedule your CVS test, plan to take the rest of the day off. It can be emotionally and physically tiring. This is a great excuse to take a day for yourself.
CVS is generally performed in a hospital. Like an amniocentesis, ultrasound monitoring picks up the location and position of the fetus and placenta. A catheter (a small tube that's attached to a syringe) is used to extract the needed cells, but instead of taking amniotic fluid, the doctor will take a sampling of cells from the placenta.
The entry is first swabbed with an antiseptic solution to prevent infection. Then the doctor inserts either a catheter into the vagina through the cervix, or a needle through the abdomen, in order to obtain a tiny piece of chorionic villi (fetal cells of the placenta) for analysis. No anesthetic is given because this test is not painful. However, some women say they feel a pinch when the sample is taken.
After amniocentesis, you may feel some cramping and have some spotting, but this should stop within a few days.

I need a way to get non-deterministic random numbers on demand for my application.
However i do not wish/have the capabilities to build the hardware myself, thus I'm looking for a web service which does just that.
Basically I'm looking for a non-deterministic random number generator for my application.
Apparently my requirements is that it definitely have to take the analog world as input.
I've found one at http://random.org. It is good enough for me, However it has a cap of 200k bits (only 6250 32-bit integers!) on each IP per day.
6250 integers per day is definitely not enough for my app. So I'm searching for one that gives a better quota.
I don't mind paying to use the service (but obviously a free one would be better).
I'm not asking a useless question. In fact, applications like online Casinos will need many non-deterministic random numbers on demand. In my situation, my economics/investment game requires a true random number for good simulation. A pseudo-random number is just "not good" enough for a "good" simulation you see.
Btw please do not tell me that a pseudo-random number generator would "be good enough" for my application. It apparently isn't good enough for my situation here, which is the first, last, and only reason why I'll need a non-deterministic random number generator.
Anyway, I'm aware that any data sent through HTTP/HTTPS has risks of being eavesdropped. I'm perfectly fine with that. I need a true random number. After I've gotten the number, I'm happy. A spy can eavesdrop all he wants and I won't mind a bit.

How much $$ have you spent on POWERBALL lottery tickets for tonight's record drawing?
Sorry if you do not live close enough to the states that are part of the drawing for the record 500+ million jackpot.... I am going to only spend 10 bucks. Should be good right?? LOL
25 Answers answer
I spent $8. Figured it was worth it for a chance at half a billion.
Did you auto pick or do you have your own 'special' numbers?
I didn't spend any money on it. The last time I won half a billion dollars it created all kinds of problems, so I called it quits on the whole powerball thing....
Absolutely nothing!
The lottery is a tax for being bad at math.
The exact amount I spent the last time a lottery question was asked. The answer is $0 and always will be.
You are more likely to be killed by a vending machine than win the Powerball jackpot.
That being said, I have $4 in ;)
My family has 3 states covered. We all spent $20 per state. The amount was pulled out of what we would have spent on each other's Christmas presents. Thought we'd have fun tonight with the lotto and the remaining amount of our gift amount will go to Toys for Tots. Kids need presents more than us old fogeys do.
10 bucks. First time ever buying a lotto ticket besides scratch offs.
I had a $20 on me so I figured what the hell. It's my birthday so I demand compensation from the lottery.
4 bucks:
2 for a work pool, I don't want to be the sucker left working there.
And 2 for myself so I can leave the suckers behind!
My husband insisted we spend $20. So I got 5 auto picks and 5 with our birthdays. I hate buying them, because I feel like I'm not part of the "club". I never know the right words to use or exactly how it's supposed to work. Filling out those little cards is like taking the SAT all over again!
I gave the girl the $20 and she just auto-printed the tickets without even asking. So the guy behind me in line bought those from me so I could get my self-pick numbers. I probably just handed him the winning ticket!
You know what? I'm putting the (I'm assuming) losing tickets in his Christmas stocking!
$10, which was stupid because I really don't want to win that much. I'd like to win about 5 million.
$10 here. I know that I absolutely won't win, but just in case...
define "money"
I spent $10. And that got me a free quick pick as well. So, I got $12 worth for $10, figured it was worth a shot. They say all it takes is a dollar and a dream...but in this case it's $2 and a dream, times 5! I played two sets with my own picked numbers, and three quick picks, then got my free quick pick. Here's hoping....
Looks like I have to go in to work tomorrow. Oh well.
spent 10 bucks, matched 3 numbers on 1 for $7
$2 - 0 matches.
Winning numbers: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 Powerball 6
I collected all seven dragon balls...but i got the powerball wrong...
@baybei: How did you get a "free" pick for spending 10 bucks? I want to start buying my tickets there! I spent 10 bucks but was not offered a free extra one. Damn Kwik Trip employee must be keeping all the freebies for himself. Jerk.
I matched most of the numbers but unfortunately it was only one per ticket so I won nothing...
@jbraunonline: Well, in New York, everyday in November if you buy $10 of powerball on one ticket, you get a $2 quick pick free. I played 5 games on one ticket, so was able to get a free quick pick. Not that it matters, I didn't win anything anyway :(
It was still worth a shot though!
My advantage is one of the stores I work shares a driveway with a beer and soda place. I literally just have to walk a few hundred feet up the hill to buy a lottery ticket, so the I forgot to stop at the gas station issue I have is null!

Shea steps down as Woodland football coach
BEACON FALLS — Tim Shea, who led the Woodland High football team to the 2013 Class S state championship game, resigned Friday as head coach after six seasons.
In a text message Friday afternoon, Shea said: "I am taking on a new opportunity. After 12 years in the football program, I've decided to move on."
Shea, who lives in Plainville, said he will keep his jobs as boys track coach and security guard at Woodland. He did not specify Friday what opportunity lured him away from his football position.
Shea posted a 44-25 record in six seasons at the helm for Woodland. He led the Hawks to the postseason in three of the last four years and also captured the last two Naugatuck Valley League Copper Division championships.
A member of Woodland's first varsity coaching staff under Chris Anderson in 2002, Shea has been part of all 93 of the Hawks' victories.
He was the defensive coordinator prior to taking the head coaching job in 2008. Shea's 2004 defense pitched seven shutouts to tie an NVL record, and he owns Class SS state title rings from 2004 and 2005.
Prior to joining Woodland's staff, Shea had coaching stints at Foran, Naugatuck and Milford Academy.
Shea played at Naugatuck for Craig Peters in the early 1990s before stints at Milford Academy and the University of Rhode Island.

Cape Town's street art – a gallery for all
Lauren Fowler
Lauren Fowler, Cape Town born and bred, graduated with a BA in Brand Communication at the AAA School of Advertising. After a brief 3 month stint at a web design agency, Lauren quit the corporate office scene to work in the field of freelance graphic designer and illustration.
Lauren has been building her brand around her name since 2008 and opened her studio, Lost is a Place Too (http://www.lostisaplacetoo.com/) at the Woodstock Foundry in January 2012.
Fascinations include: working in fine detail with black pen, drawing fantasy houses, cross stitching, typography, making music, singing, writing on windows, patterns, making "things" and the deconstruction of ideas.

Every day I pass a large mural on a dilapidated building on Albert Road in Woodstock. It is a painting of two Zimbabwean men, Juma and Willard, with the quote, "Inspire ourselves to inspire each other." I read this message every day and in return, it inspires me. This is what street art is about – bringing ideas to everyone who passes by. Street art is for everyone without the pretence of a gallery – it belongs to everyone and no one.
The location of the mural and the canvas also play a role in the artwork. The nature of street art is that it's not at its location for years, as paintings in a gallery sometimes are. It's not art to be traded, it is art to inspire and inspiration brings change, which in turn empowers people. The images and words created by street artists carry messages to us all, from the subject matter of the piece, to the wall it is created upon, all of this is taken into consideration by the artist. It's an idea that lives out its time until the building is taken down or repainted, however, the real art is the residue that it leaves in our minds and the action we take.
I love this artwork by Ricky Lee Gordon, aka Freddy Sam, a local street artist in Woodstock. Gordon runs the A Word of Art gallery at the Woodstock Exchange (66 Albert Road), and the initiative, Write on Africa. He is involved with a number of projects and internships that involve art on the streets and inside the gallery. Gordon has a beautiful style that links fine art with child-like hand generated type of art and his artwork is noticeable throughout the streets of Woodstock.
Find out more about street artwork tours at the A Word of Art gallery.
Images are important to children, especially before they begin to read. Colours, shapes and ideas are depicted through illustration, which transcend language. This is the mission of See Saw Do. They have transformed several crèches in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch and created a mural for a toy library in Mfuleni. I was privileged enough to join hands with See Saw Do and design an illustration for one of the crèches.
You can watch the transformation of Phakamani Crèche below.
Shani Judes, together with Between 10 and 5, gathered 15 artists together to take art out of the gallery and onto the streets of Cape Town and Khayelitsha. The theme for the street art exhibition, Paste, was Khayelitsha culture and it was aimed to give the public the opportunity to view art they would otherwise never see. This form of street art is different from the murals as the artwork can be done in any amount of time, and can be printed and be pasted quickly, therefore arriving at a larger audience in many areas at one time. The piece I chose to do for the project was a chic shack, which is a hybrid between an Edwardian house and a shack.
View more about Paste here.
The most popular and internationally renowned street artist in Cape Town has to be Faith 47. Her work is beautiful and thought provoking, and the typography is a voice on its own. Her street art, echoing past and future pieces, ties cities together into one concept.
Her website says, "In a landscape with traces of scratches and memories, Faith investigates how people relate to their surroundings, what marks they leave behind. Her interactions give form to deeply penetrating visual enigmas, resonating with our impermanence and our elusive relationship with symbols and memories, dreams and parabels. In reconstructing lost places and found objects, she brings to life that which has been discarded and often forgotten by society."
View Faith 47's work here.
There is a city of art to be seen in Cape Town, open your eyes and look closer. I'm still completely fascinated by the sheer size of some of these artworks. They are here for us to enjoy.

The notion of orbifold is quite well established by now. I would like to ask how one should call a point of an orbifold with non-trivial stabilizer? Should one call this a singular point? Of something else?
For some reason, I was not able to find any text that fixes this innocent bit of terminology concerning orbifolds.
Comment. I would like to stress, that I want to know how to call A point (i.e. one point) that has a non-trivial stabilizer. Indeed, as Ryan says in his comment, there is some terminology to define the union of all points with non-trivial stabilizer, but this is not what I am looking for (for example, in algebraic geometry there is a canonical way to call a point that is not smooth, it is called a singular point)

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-Fire flames blazing through homes is an example of the numerous types of disasters that all families and children need to make sure they are prepared for ahead of time.
And Fred helps during these emergency events.
"Fred's best trait is his willingness to meet and greet people," said Michael McNulty, KDHE Director of Homeland Security Operations.
Fred is actually a German Shepherd Preparedness Dog and he acts as the mascot for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Fred went to Topeka Collegiate School to teach students a valuable lesson about safety.
"That attention he brings allows me to start talking to them about what they do in their own family preparedness and pet preparedness," said McNulty.
"He helps students feel more connected," said Danielle Huskins, Health Service Director at Topeka Collegiate School.
Students learned about family and pet safety kits needed in the home when disaster breaks.
"Well, when my house is on fire, me and my family run into the garage where some backpacks are filled with stuff! There's water and candy for ever once in a while and lots of good food and medicine," said Topeka Collegiate kindergartner, Sam Kensinger.
Fred and his owner also hope that children understand the most important message.
"If we prepare ourselves and prepare our pets, that's going to make the entire state more prepared," said McNulty.
"He taught me some other things on what to do. Well, he told me that if there is a tornado: take shelter," said Kensinger.

BURGETTSTOWN, Pa. - Several area veterans groups have come together to assist those with physical disabilities participate in hunting and fishing.
The Burgettstown Kucher-Saska Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6955, Atlasburg Fischer-Lonick Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6490, Slovan Barto Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6553, Post 6553 Auxiliary, Burgettstown American Legion Post 698, Sons of the Legion Post 698, Legion Riders Post 698, Burgettstown Knights of Columbus and JMS Business Machines of Slovan held a chicken roast Saturday to benefit Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors Inc.
The knights initially contacted the local veterans groups, because they wanted to do something to benefit veterans in the local area.

Several area veterans organizations, JMS Business Machines and the Burgettstown Knights of Columbus held a chicken roast to benefit the Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors Inc., a group that provides outdoor sports opportunities to veterans and others who are physically disabled. -- Summer Wallace-Minger
"We had done things for veterans in the past," said Grand Knight Paul Marcucci. "We had done collections for soldiers overseas, but we have a lot of people in the area who are veterans - this area has a lot of veterans - and we see these guys every day, and we just wanted to do something for them."
Area veterans were soon on board with the project.
"We were contacted by the Knights of Columbus," said Tony Strapazzon, Legion Riders. "They wanted to do a benefit with the veterans and said we could pick the project. We picked the (Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors Inc.) because it was local. It just snowballed and took off."
Strapazzon said the event's success was owed to the many volunteers, many of whom had experience in holding large-scale events.
"I just want to thank everyone for coming out," said Strapazzon. "It's unbelievable, how everyone stepped up the way they did. I can't thank the committee enough, and all the volunteers out here, helping veterans and people in need."
The Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors operates a handicapped-accessible hunting area and handicapped-accessible pontoon boats for fishing trips. The grounds are completely accessible and also include a pavilion and pond that is an accessible fishing point.
Jeff Curtis, Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors president, said the group began with a group of veterans taking fellow disabled veterans out on a pontoon boat for a fishing trip in 2002 under the encouragement of Bud West, and grew from there. The group eventually purchased its own pontoon boats and received a donated boat and leased nearly 3,000 acres in Eighty-Four from CONSOL Energy. Volunteers work to maintain the property and establish accessible trails.
The group is open to anyone with disabilities who want to enjoy outdoor sportsmanship.
"We have some guys who were deaf from birth, and we had a blind guy who passed his hunter safety course," said Curtis. "It is open to veterans and civilians."
Funds go to maintain the grounds and pontoon boats and for conservation and stewardship to encourage a large population of game animals.
A banquet to thank those who volunteered their time to the chicken roast will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Slovan VFW. At that time, the groups involved will present the proceeds of the roast to the Wounded Warriors.
To send a donation to the Wounded Warriors, make checks payable to the Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors Inc. and send them to 139 Mitchell Road, Eighty-Four, PA 15330.
The Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors Inc. is not affiliated with the Wounded Warriors Project.

The 6 Most Insane People to Ever Run for President
There is nothing in the Constitution that says you have to be sane to run for president. The forefathers knew that such an arbitrary limitation would deprive future generations of a tremendous amount of entertainment.
So, let's honor their wishes and take a moment to salute those who believed being batshit insane should in no way stop them from running the country.
#6. Cynthia McKinney - 2008 Green Party Nominee
If you're one of those people with a soft spot for wasting your vote on potentially loony candidates, do we have good news for you! Depending on when you're reading this, there may still be time to cast your wacky-ass vote for Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney!
Until 2006, she was a member of Congress, where she spent her time on important things like trying to pass a bill to release the government's secret records on Tupac Shakur and assaulting Capitol police.
"Why am I holding these? Where am I?"
But wait, it gets better. McKinney upped the crazy ante recently when she claimed that the government executed 5,000 males and dumped them in a swamp in Louisiana. She stated that she assumed they were prisoners, because they were mostly males. Why, because only dudes go to prison? Somebody has never seen Caged Heat.
Prison is more relaxing without the specter of government mass murder.
This information supposedly came to her via a phone call from a woman whose son was one of those tasked with disposing of the bodies. Sure, that probably sounds dubious, but McKinney assures us she took the extra step of verifying the story with insiders. We're hoping that "insiders" is the loving pet name she's given to the voices in her head. Otherwise, someone out there with information to share that, if true, could be vital to the very fabric of American life, decided that the best place to go with it was here...
#5. Lyndon LaRouche - 1976 U.S. Labor Party
Lyndon LaRouche has run for president at least eight times, first in 1976 as the U.S. Labor Party candidate, and later as a candidate for the Democratic nomination. Depending on who you ask, he is either a genius visionary or a batshit insane conspiracy theorist. Hmm, let's see if we can find some evidence one way or the other...
Where do we start? He thinks either the Holocaust didn't happen or, if it did, wasn't all that bad and that some kind of evil Jewish/British cabal is at the heart of the world's problems. His political party looks an awful lot like a cult, with LaRouche holding tight-fisted control over a core group of dedicated followers.
Those are all good places to begin, but why settle for the good when we can go straight for the great? And by "great" we mean "the time he claimed someone kidnapped and brainwashed one of his staff members with the intent of programming them to assassinate him." According to LaRouche's group, the intended assassin was Chris White, a British national who had married LaRouche's ex-girlfriend. The young man was allegedly kidnapped by the CIA, in conjunction with the KGB. Sounds reasonable enough, what better friends were there in 1974 than the CIA and the KGB?
LaRouche's people said that, once in captivity, White was programmed so that when a trigger word was uttered, White would kill his wife, then LaRouche, and then blame the whole thing on Cuban assassins (got to work the Cubans in there). After all, if some dude just went crazy and killed his wife and her ex-boyfriend, how would you ever explain that?
#4. John G. Schmitz - 1972 American Independent Party
John G. Schmitz had a beef with Richard Nixon (when Nixon made his historic trip to China, Schmitz quite hilariously said "I was only upset that he came back"). Schmitz decided the best way to take out his anger was by running for President against Nixon in 1972, hoping to saddle Nixon with the shame of losing to someone who was frothingly insane.
If someone ever decides to compile recordings of the craziest things every said to the media, they may as well call it "John G Schmitz: The Greatest Hits," and not just because that title rhymes. For example, there was the time he casually suggested the US could benefit from a military coup to overthrow the government. But in his words, "Not a bad military coup, mind you. But a good one, like Pinochet's in Chile." Oh, okay! We thought you were saying something retarded there for a moment.
Bat-Schmitz insane.
He did have a way with the ladies though. After a particularly heated exchange with feminist lawyer Gloria Allred, Schmitz approved a press release with the catchy headline "Attack of the Bulldykes" that described Allred as a "slick butch lawyeress" and her supporters as "a sea of hard, Jewish and (arguably) female faces."
Schmitz is dead now, but fear not, the crazy lives on in a major way through his daughter, Mary Kay LeTourneau. Name sound vaguely familiar? Maybe you remember it from the several years she was in the headlines for having sex with a 13 year-old student (she was a teacher-they met when he was 8) and having two of his children. She went to jail for rape, then when she got out she did the honorable thing and married him. But, hey, at least she didn't run for president.

Following Rosenblatt and Yang, I say that a subset $A$ of $\mathbb Z$ has a unique mean value if for all invariant means $\lambda_1,\lambda_2$ on $\mathbb Z$, one has $\lambda_1(A)=\lambda_2(A)$.
Notice that the set of subsets having a unique mean value has the same cardinality as the set of subsets non-having a unique mean value, thanks to Andreas Thom's answer to Intrinsically measurable subsets of amenable semigroups..
Nevertheless, roughly speaking, it should be clear that most subsets of $\mathbb Z$ should not have a unique mean value. Indeed, to a have a unique mean value one needs a very particular structure, as almost-periodicity.
Question: Is there any probabilistic way to formalize the intuition that generic subsets of $\mathbb Z$ does not have a unique mean value?
Thank you in advance,

"The days of showing up at the convention, qualifying for money, worrying about the color scheme of the lawn signs, putting out seven pieces of mail, lobbing a few robo-calls and hoping for the best is a failed, lazy model. ... Republicans can't make a difference unless they win. And you can't win in Connecticut as a Republican just by showing up, going through the paces and being shocked by the outcome. Republicans need to suit up early, take the measure of their opponent and make every voter a stakeholder in the debate, right up to the time they are driven to the polls."
— Former Republican State Chairman Chris Healy's blog, "Bring on the Asteroid," Nov. 7

Does any one know actual references for the discovery of Gauss' Law (a corollary of the Divergence Theorem)?
The entry in Wikipedia for Divergence Theorem says it was discovered by
Lagrange 1762, Gauss 1813, Green, 1825
while the entry in Wikipedia for Gauss' law says it was discovered by
Gauss in 1835,
but not published until 1867.
In the case of the divergence theorem, only dates are given, no references. I couldn't find anything in the collected works of Lagrange around 1762 that seemed to be close to any form of the divergence theorem.
In the case of Gauss' law, a reference is given to the book by Balone, "A Word on Paper: Studies on the Second Scientific Revolution", but no page reference is given; the only index entry for Gauss is a brief mention of his name in connection with some one else; and perusing through the subject matter makes it seem very unlikely that anything about Gauss' law is in this book.

Here is a question that I hope/suspect is elementary but cannot find a reference for. Suppose we are given a surface, S, with a conformally Euclidean metric, |f(z)||dz|, where f(z) is meromorphic. Puncture the surface S at all of the zeroes and poles of f(z) (at the "cone points"), and denote the resulting surface S*.
Is it true that there exists a unique geodesic in every homotopy class of curves in S*?

In the PC version of Minecraft you can hatch chicks by throwing eggs, which has a 1/8th chance of producing a chick. I don't want to waste the eggs I already have, but can you produce chicks in the XBox version?
The Xbox version of Minecraft is equivalent to the Beta 1.6.6 version of Minecraft for the PC, and Chicken Eggs have been throwable since Beta 1.0. As it additionally isn't noted in the differences from PC edition section of the Minecraft Wiki, I don't see a reason why chickens wouldn't be able to hatch from eggs. Also, the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Wiki page on chickens also states that they can be hatched from eggs. (Note that since baby animals were introduced in the Beta 1.9 Prerelease, adult chickens will spawn from the eggs, and not baby chickens.)
As of Tuesday, October 17th, it's possible to have a chicken farm. In fact, I did one myself yesterday, each egg thrown with Use/Left Trigger (in the 360 version) has a 1/32 chance to hatch.
Yes, it's possible, and works in Minecraft XBox 360 edition.
Here is a video showing the throwing of chicken eggs and their hatching into chickens.
Unfortunately, at this time critters are not permanent in the XBox version, so they tend to despawn a lot, so a real chicken farm or egg farm will not work like it does in th ePC version.
Also, breeding is not yet live in the XBox version, so you will get adult chickens from eggs. But you can indeed get them from eggs.
I guess maybe there has been an update since these previous posts. You can make 2 adult chickens enter love mode on the Xbox version by feeding them wheat seeds. They then pop out a baby chick. Save your eggs for something more worthwhile.
well just to make this quick you would see an adult chicken laying an egg pick up the egg throw it on the floor or in the air and it fall to the ground and you have a small chance of a baby chick hatching from the egg and if you want adult chickens put seed in your hand and all chicks that see it will start following you straight away it is a great tip because chicks and adult chickens usually run away.

Sharon road work still is not being done correctly
"Imagine you have hired someone to build a new wall at your house. He builds it, installs drywall and paints it, and it looks beautiful. Then you realized there was electrical work that needed to be done, so you call in an electrician. He explains that if he had been able to do the work while the wall was open, it would have been quicker and less expensive. Now, your beautiful wall will have to be opened up and patched to get the work done."
I wrote that in my Dec. 13, 2010 letter, "Sharon selectmen should put a stop to road projects." That letter was intended to encourage the town to address drainage before paving the roads, rather than dealing with it later.

Yesterday I just closed my mbp and this morning I had the great pleasure to have this:
At the login (passwork) screen...
I had an uptime of more than 5 days but still ... I upgraded the memory from 4GB to 8BG (the Crucial kit) and since then I had this problem twice. Mayve it doesn't mean anything because I have the mpb for only 2 weeks and I upgraded the memory after a few days, so the statistics are maybe meaningless.
My question is: do you have this problem sometimes ? Should I check something in particular to try to avoid that ? Is it possible that the memory is incorrectly installed (very unlikely...) ? Is it in any case a memory problem ?

An Andover Central High School teacher and coach is on administrative leave while he faces misdemeanor sexual assault charges.
Bob Gould is listed as a business and computer teacher on the Andover USD 385 website and is an assistant basketball and track coach.
An official statement from USD 385 said, "On Thursday, December 19, we were made aware that one of our employees was charged with sexual battery. We take this matter very seriously and are conducting an investigation, as is the Andover Police Department."
He was arrested after a 19-year-old woman, reported being sexually assaulted when Gould visited her at her home.
The district's statement went on to say, "The employee has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The incident did not occur on school grounds, nor did it involve any current students. Because this is an active investigation and a personnel matter, no additional information is available to be shared at this time."
Sexual battery is a misdemeanor charge. It was filed in Andover Municipal Court.

Pretty in Pink
The Party
Washingtonians gathered for the National Cherry Blossom Festival's seventh annual Pink Tie Party at the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel, which was decked out in pink to kick off the centennial celebration. Guests enjoyed a fragrance bar set up by Escada Cherry in the Air perfume, as well as impressive entertainment from a geisha throughout the evening. A Japanese garden was the decorative backdrop.
The People
The party was hosted by celeb-chef Lorena Garcia. Festival President Diana Mayhew; board chair Kris Rohr; host committee chairs Anna and Bailey Edwards, Montina Anderson Davis and Dwayne Davis; and Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon were all thinking pink.
Best in Show
More than 30 of DC's top restaurants and chefs impressed the crowd. Among them were Masa 14, Woodward Table and Vidalia, who cooked (and stirred) up some cool cherry- and blossom-inspired creations. Photography by Ron Engle

Many travel insurance plans include coverage for medical evacuation to privately transport you to your home country if you get seriously ill while abroad. What does this type of evacuation generally cost? Or, in other words, how much medical evacuation coverage on a travel insurance plan is enough?
I found a statistic for you that lists the average medical evacuation cost for at least some countries:
As you can see, you have to be prepared for some 10,000 USD.
Cost of medical evaluation varies widely depending on what region you are travelling to, and what country you are from. Evacuation almost always involves bringing you back to your country of residence rather than 'closest' 'good' medical facility you need to confirm this when reading policy wording documents.
According to an insurance group, typical evacuation costs (it appears this is a 'within EU' figure) is £25,000. Another advisory published by the Australian government mentions $75,000-$90,000 (most probably this in Australian dollars).
Another thing to watch out for is the terminology used in policy wording. Some companies use 'repatriation' to cover both evacuation in medical emergencies when you're alive as well as bringing back of body remains in case of death, while others cover repatriation and medical expenses separately.
That said, most travel insurance policies I have taken or compared usually have reasonably high limits for medical evacuation / repatriation even for cheap policies. More than the amount covered, I have found the difference between good and bad policies is how restrictive their conditions are for these situations. Many of the 'bad' ones may not guarantee you an evacuation because they have clauses which say it depends on whether they determine you can be 'safely' transported for the duration of evacuation.
I just organized an evacuation from Tel Aviv to Chicago. For the patient on a stretcher with his wife and medic it cost $26,000
My Family recently experienced a situation where a medical evacuation became necessary. The quote that I received from Casta Rica to Portland OR was $47,000.00. Fortuneately we are insured and the tour company had coverage also. My advice to the frequent traveler. get coverage! I also noted the many Med evac companies have subscription service.......if you travel....get it.

I'm considering publishing my novel as an e-book (since I'm very techy) before I take the usual "paperback" route. Is this a wise choice?
Also what would I need to do? (steps).
I'm considering publishing my novel as an e-book (since I'm very techy) before I take the usual "paperback" route. Is this a wise choice?
Also what would I need to do? (steps).
Should I e-publish?
It depends heavily on your goals, on the effort you're willing/interested in investing, and on your skill with the various abilities involved with e-publishing.
How do I e-publish?
I don't know the details, but there's tons of services and e-book sites that'll take you through the minimum requirements. You'll probably want more than the bare minimum, though. Here's an excellent essay by Nancy Fulda offering a "Mini-handbook on independent publication", covering a lot of what you'll need (and want) to do if you decide to go the e-book route.
Do you know how to self promote? Are you already good at it? Are you interested in learning how? Are you highly disciplined? Are you a DIY kind of person?
Those are important questions if you are thinking about self-pub. If self promotion/marketing is something you have the discipline to do and passion to excel at, then self-pub becomes a much more interesting option because it does give you a lot of personal flexibility. Your work lives and dies on YOUR merits as a writer and promoter.
I self-pub info products and I am passionate about marketing and promotions. I am fascinated by why people buy things and how to engage people so they will buy MY things. I also really like doing things myself. I love the idea of self-pub as a result. Where do you stand?
There is a lot more to it than what I've mentioned here, but I didn't see any other answers addressing this aspect specifically.
Is it wise? In my opinion, yes. I have sold hundreds of e-books using a pen name, and I have recently started publishing other e-books under my own name. I have not spent much time promoting them because I am in the process of writing two new series, and that takes up much of my spare time that I used to spend on promoting and marketing.
Now for the "how". The first step, naturally, is to write the book! Once that is done, you need to create your e-book. There are a lot of different ways to do this, and there are different formats as well. I'm going to discuss two different options. One will focus on creating a mobi file to use at Amazon, the other will focus on creating a Word document for Smashwords.
You will need to create an account at Kindle Direct Publishing, which is Amazon's e-book service. Then you will want to create an account at Smashwords, which is an e-book distribution company. They will create multiple formats that visitors can buy and they will also distribute your book in the proper formats to Barnes & Noble, the Apple iBookstore, and several other places. These two services will get you the broadest exposure with the least effort.
With either service, if you are using MS Word, you can upload your file immediately, and they will do the conversions to the proper formats for you. However, with Amazon, their conversion process often messes up Tables of Content, page breaks, chapter breaks, etc. One way to minimize these issues is to save your Word document as a "Web page, filtered". This cleans up some of the unique Word tags and usually results in a cleaner conversion.
However, I personally use a process documented by Guido Henkel which recommends modifying your html file and then converting it with Calibre software. This requires a little more work, but I have found that my conversions are spot on every time, and I have always been pleased with the results.
Smashwords has similar issues with converting your Word document unless you very closely follow their style guide. I am not going to go into great detail here, because their style guide does that for you. Be warned, though, that Smashwords currently accepts ONLY Word documents. If you have the newest Word software, you'll be better off saving it in the Word 97 version after following the style guide recommendations.
Once you have your files uploaded, then the next step is promoting and marketing. There is a lot involved there, and I will save that for another post. Good luck!

Let $X$ be a set, $G$ the group of bijection on $X$. Then it is well-known that if $|X|\geq 3$, $Z(G)$ is trivial. However, I cannot see a way of extending this proof to $X$ being an infinite set (other than when a bijection only moves finitely many points). Indeed, I have been somewhat stumped trying to prove that $Z(G)$ is or is not trivial for $X$ infinite.
So, for $X$ an infinite set, $G$ the bijections on $X$, is it true that $Z(G)$ is trivial?

Not to nit-pick but the title "VIZIO 8" Android Tablet with Folio Case (New)" makes it seem like the tablet itself is new rather than refurbished. I guess the new refers to the case but still seems a bit confusing to me.
I've never used one of these, but I always thought it's pretty sweet that they have an IR transmitter, so it (I'm assuming) can also be your universal home theater remote...
@dpb39: I agree... The headline for this writeup is misleading
I have one makes a great remote, but it general is a little slow. But not bad for books, web browsing, email, and other light tasks. I like it.
I 100% agree with you. At the very best it is really sloppy and confusing to a potential customer and if that customer is not paying close attention after seeing the word "NEW" they are in for a disappointment leaving a bad taste in the mouth as far as further dealings with Woot. At worst, (and I choose not to believe this) it is a marketing ploy to unload something for more than it really is. Even though I do not believe this is what the case is I would understand anyone who felt that it was. So again, that just is not good for the customer and Woot.
I am sure they have the ability to make a correction and take out the word new or edit to state, "refurbished" tablet with "new case" and that would be a very good idea.
Got one of these for one of my kids last xmas, it works great. It actually has pretty decent parental controls unlike all other android tablets I've tried. The refurb deals on it this year made me buy 3 more for the rest of the kids. It wont keep up with the latest crazy games but it's still worth it imo.
it lost me a gingerbread and 512mb ram
Bought one last Christmas, works great for web browsing, gameplay, and also for watching movies in the car.
refurbished stay away dont buy
This has an upgrade from Vizio to Honeycomb 3.2.1. Also, on XDA there are Cyanogenmod updates to Ice Cream Sandwich. The built-in IR and software can make this a killer remote for your A/V system, too.
Bought one last year for xmas and it's a pretty decent tablet. Slower then the higher end ones of course, but it has been updated from the gingerbread platform. I think mine at home is running on 3.1 or 3.2 now which made it a lot better then it was before.
I got one of these for my mom last Christmas. The USB charging port broke right after the 3 month warrantee. Now it is as useful as a placemat. I'm pretty disappointed with the purchase. I spent a little more and got her a Nexus 7 for this Christmas. You might want to invest the extra money too.
The tablet comes loaded with gingerbread but it will instantly begin bugging you to update which includes an OS update to 3.2.1. I have heard that if you are one to root your tablet this update makes it harder but I haven't tried. The only problem with the updated version is the home/menu buttons lose functionality and the screen size is reduced by the addition of a menu bar to provide "soft" buttons for those functions.
I dropped my VTAB on the driveway and cracked the screen. It still works as I am writing this comment on it but will have to consider a new one and let the kids take the cracked one.
@amoraluv: My HTC EVO with gingerbread and 512MB RAM is hurt by your insensitive comment.
@offline999: lol considering thats a phone. u should be good. I don't try watching movies on my phone.
Sorry about the confusion on the New/Refurbished. We're working on fixing it now.
The tablet is Refurbished. If you purchased thinking it was new and would like to cancel your order, please email email@example.com for assistance. Include your woot username and order number for faster service.
@superllama7: I have one and I was able to use the remote on the TVs in my house until the OS was updated. Then it quit working.
It's not a problem though really because an 8 inch tab is rather bulky to use as a remote. : )
@amoraluv: The old EVO is getting pretty long in the tooth actually. I think I even heard it tell my Acer tab to "get off my lawn" the other day. It's going to be put out to pasture as soon as the Samsung Note II comes down in price on Sprint.
I watched all of Season 4 of "Sons of Anarchy" on the EVO. Not exactly IMAX but...it did the trick.
@offline999: I can't decided which one I want. the note 2 or the galaxy 3. either way I got to wait till its on my network
I should have re-read this post before placing my order. DOH!! Email has been sent to support. Thanks @thunderthighs
Merry Christmas
@Danny95333 - Co-worker bought one a year ago. USB charger died 8 mos later. Research and phone call determined it was a known issue (bad batch of chargers) and the USB chargers were replaced for him and his two kids.
@bcubedz28: That's odd, because on Amazon there are people who say the issue is with the internal harness that connects to the micro USB port, not the charger itself. There's a youtube video of a guy who took 20 minutes trying to open his to get at it. That and the 512mb of RAM being too little with the later Android versions was enough to put me off.
@xfiles954: You shouldn't be writing about stuff about which you know nothing. I have purchased two of these refurbished – one from w00t and one from eBay. They both came in a technical white boxes with as new devices and brand-new accessories. Charger, HDMI cable, USB cable, and very cool case that will protect your device and allow you to pop it up in landscape mode.
It comes with Gingerbread and updates to ICS . At that point you have a nearly new 8" tablet with GPS, turn by turn navigation app, high resolution compared to other devices at this price point, 4 x 3 aspect ratio, infrared programmable remote, the hardware to support a compass.
Assuming that this is the same refurbished device I purchased twice from two different vendors, worrying about it being refurbished is wholly unwarranted.
@bazpix: Yeah, mine seem to take a performance hit one and upgrade from gingerbread to ICS. Of course, having tons and tons of $.10 apps from the "1 Billion Apps Sold" Google store promotion I have something to do with this. Dollar for dollar, this is probably the best superlow budget tablet out there. 1024 x 768screen resolution going for $208 on Amazon right now. And no case. The purpose built case has metal "brackets" that you can't even see after you put the video in the case. It does not fall out. Ever.
I'm here to add the obligatory "I bought this and it broke within three months" comment.
That is all. Thank you.
I hate liars, I brought one of these back in the summer and have never had an issue with it. Could be a little faster, but it does what it is suppose too.

Health & Pregnancy
Blood Test May Spot Genetic Disease in Fetuses
June 6, 2012 -- Samples of blood and saliva from parents-to-be may help identify thousands of genetic disorders in fetuses soon after conception without invasive testing, researchers say.
In a study published today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, researchers from the University of Washington report that they were able to determine the complete DNA sequence of two babies in the womb by analyzing blood samples from the mother and saliva samples from the father.
Genetic predictions were confirmed once the babies were born by analyzing umbilical cord blood collected at birth.
The test is not ready for use yet. Although cost and technological challenges remain, the research could lead to a simple non-invasive test to identify more than 3,000 disorders caused by single-gene mutations, says study co-author Jay Shendure, MD, PhD.
"Many of these diseases are so rare that most people have never heard of them, but collectively they affect around 1% of births," Shendure tells WebMD.
Fetal DNA in Mom's Blood
Only a few genetic disorders, including Down syndrome, are screened for during pregnancy. They use invasive and potentially risky procedures such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.
The search is underway for less invasive tests using blood samples from pregnant women instead of fluid from the uterus. That's based on the recognition that fetal DNA is present in the blood of pregnant women at varying concentrations during pregnancy.
In the newly published study, researchers confirmed that blood taken from an expectant mother about 18 weeks into her pregnancy and saliva specimens taken from the father contained enough genetic information to map the DNA code of the developing fetus.
The finding was later confirmed in another expectant couple with blood taken from the mother even earlier in her pregnancy.
Doctoral candidate Jacob Kitzman, who led the study, says the researchers were able to identify new mutations in fetuses not shared with either parent.
Because these mutations are the cause of many genetic disorders, searching for them is critical for a comprehensive test, Kitzman tells WebMD.
Interpreting Data Remains a Challenge
Mutations have been linked to more complex disorders influenced by genes, including autism, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. But it remains to be seen if fetal DNA mapping will be useful for assessing a baby's risk for these and other disorders in a clinical setting.

Tracking down the agent(s) responsible for the elusive...

Tracking down the agent(s) responsible for the elusive "migrant" effect in schizophrenia bears similarities with the clever plot twists in a well-crafted crime novel. The new study by Jeremy Coid and coworkers makes substantial headway toward narrowing down the list of suspects, with the spotlight increasingly focused on ethnicity. The current venture has a number of outstanding strengths: large sample size, robust denominator data, and stringent methods of case ascertainment, including leakage analysis. The choice of venue of East London, an area characterized by socioeconomic deprivation, is a strategic advantage, in that the effect of ethnicity can be teased out from socioeconomic disadvantage. The findings indicate that ethnicity had a stronger effect on risk magnitude than did generational status (i.e., place of birth). Black Caribbeans were the only ethnic group where generational status "mattered," an effect that the authors attribute to differences in the age structures of the underlying populations at risk.
How best to interpret these results, and where do they lead us?
Coid and colleagues argue that the cumulative effect of the various "pressures" operating on migrants might be roughly similar across generations, with some exceptions. In this case, the exceptions are all the more interesting, and likely to be the most informative. The fact that second-generation black Caribbeans had markedly higher rates of psychoses than black Caribbeans born in the Caribbean suggests differential pressures operating on these two groups. Although these pressures have yet to be identified (more detective work needed!), some mechanisms suggest themselves. The generation of black Caribbeans that emigrated to the U.K. during the 1950s and 1960s were more readily incorporated into the labor market than today's generation (second-generation immigrants). Although their jobs might have primarily been in the service or unskilled sectors, the ability to get a "foot" into society and earn a living could have represented substantial gains for this generation in terms of positive self-esteem and protection against feelings of negative self-worth and/or outsider status. In contrast, the second generation of African-Caribbean immigrants seems to have more difficulty securing a place within U.K. society. Their difficulties may be compounded by unstable home environments. Ethnic groups with strong familial ties, such as Asians or the example of the Turks in The Netherlands (Selten et al., 2001), appear better able to buffer the negative effects of discrimination and marginalization. Thus, the extent to which families are able to provide stable home environments seems to be a crucial modifier of minority group "stress," and we may very well see a resurgent interest in the near future in studies focusing on the schizophrenogenic family.
It may be noted that Coid and coworkers' results are well in line with the social defeat hypothesis (Cantor-Graae and Selten, 2005; Selten and Cantor-Graae, 2005; Selten et al., 2007), which suggests that a key contributor to the migrant psychosis phenomenon is long-term chronic exposure to social defeat, possibly resulting in dopamine disturbances in the brain. While discrimination may play a key role in the experience of social defeat, the mechanisms that enhance vulnerability to psychosis in any specific minority group are probably complex. Certainly there is a need for confirmatory studies from settings where waves of migration span several generations, for example, countries such as France and Spain, in order to re-test Coid and colleagues' findings. However, results from Israel, a country with a long history of heterogeneous migration, confirm the notion that "outsider" status may vary from group to group (Weiser et al., 2008) and across generations (Corcoran et al., 2008) and that this may in turn determine that group's risk for schizophrenia. In other words, context may well prove to be "everything." Thus, investigations that can shed further light on the elements that make up the contextual environment are likely to be especially fruitful.
The broader implications of Coid and coworkers' important new migrant study are several. We need to once and for all accept the notion that schizophrenia is not uniformly distributed among groups, and to intensify research efforts that may further elucidate the nature of the underlying exposure variable(s). Although it may take considerable effort to track down the "culprit," the good news is that social factors lend themselves to preventative interventions. There may well be a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.

[oil mist]
Consider that a major oil refinery was planning a substantial
modernization project in 2008. Energy efficiency
gains and the ability to process a more readily available crude
slate were key motivating factors. With the 2008 economic
downturn, field erection stopped due to the usual financial
Unfortunately, in late 2008, much of the new equipment was
either on its way or had just arrived at the field staging
area. There was no budget for state-of-the-art equipment
protection and preservation as successfully practiced in the
1960s and that is often described in books and articles, as
shown in Fig. 1.1 Equipment stored
without the best available protection invites problems. Without
protection, plant staff should expect adversity.
Contrast such risky unprotected storage with the decades-old
best-available practice of protection with oil mist. Filling or
blanketing all internal equipment spaces with oil
mist was effective and economical. Both indoor and outdoor
storage were applied on hundreds of process pumps in many
plants beginning about 1965.2 Staging yards similar
to the one shown in Fig. 1 used the same
oil-mist consoles, which would later serve hundreds of pumps in
their designated process units.
Combining project management and maintenance/reliability wisdom as a planning
style has proved eminently successful for over 40 years. At one
facility, in 1979, equipment mortality of machines kept in an
oil-mist staging yard was kept well below 3%. In stark
contrast, the 2013 probable failure rate upon startup after 18
months of unprotected storage at another facility is estimated
at 30%.
Startup of equipment stored without first implementing
proactive remedial steps can be costly. To have 30% of 200
process pumps fail upon startup is unacceptable. Assuming a
cost of $20,000 per pump, over a million dollars would be spent
on repairing improperly stored equipment plus the costs for
lost production time. Evasive action and risk reduction is
needed on equipment that has not been optimally preserved.
Fluid machinery left in the open without full protection for
more than six months should not be expected to run flawlessly.
Bearings and mechanical seals are likely to fail before they
reach the end of their respective design lives. Accordingly,
reasonable risk reduction steps should be pursued:
Belatedly implementing these failure-reducing action steps
will not be cheap. The monetary outlay ranks somewhere between
oil-mist preservation (approximately $200,000 in 2007) and
having 60 near-catastrophic failure events if nothing is done.
From an organizational viewpoint, reliability thinking and equipment
preservation issues should always be presented to management at
an early stage.
Inadequately stored equipment will be risky to operate;
accordingly, monies spent on suitable up-front preservation
will pay dividends over the long term. A refinery should expect adversity in
the short run and plan for long-term success. For hydrocarbon processing facilities, the company and site
philosophy should be safety, quality and unity every day in
all ways. This guide drives steps needed to achieve these
commendable goals.
While safety and quality are self-explanatory, unity begs a
definition. Unity denotes that all employees should be of one
mind when it comes to implementing whatever is the safest and
represents lasting value. While dissent is permitted, unity
means that those who question the pathways to safety and
quality by declining to allocate needed resources must accept
two obligations: 1) list their dissenting views in writing, and
2) accept accountability for actions and funds withheld.
Yet, some large companies are hurt by listening to opinions
instead of insisting on informed cost justifications that are
based on facts. There are strong incentives to involve bright
subject-matter experts on new projects. HP

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.
