The Mary Black Foundation would like to express its appreciation for the Herald-Journal's recent series of articles on the Northside initiative. The initiative is important to the health and wellness of all of Spartanburg County and, therefore, deserves significant attention from our local newspaper. Andrew Doughman did an excellent job reporting on an initiative that is multifaceted and complex.
The comprehensive effort to transform the Northside represents an unprecedented collaboration of local residents along with public, private, civic, education and philanthropic institutions in Spartanburg. The initiative will result in a revitalized, mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhood that is attractive to families and businesses and will boast excellent educational opportunities with access to superb recreational and social service amenities.
The Mary Black Foundation is proud to partner with those involved, and we look forward to the next few months when the intensive planning process will begin.

Godspeed, Thomas Kitty
As of late, I had been glossing over Pam Stone's Sunday column, for it seemed her mantra had delved into yet another "animal gets hurt, animal goes to vet, animal saved" scenario.
However, her Feb. 3 piece absolutely tore at my inner heartstrings. Anyone who has ever loved a four-legged animal knows the unconditional love animals display toward their owners, and they ask for little or nothing in return. From reading Pam's column, one could tell how she had been drawn into this feline, and with the passing of time both she and Thomas had come to an acknowledgement, a pact, a love cemented with both respect and mutual understanding. Such is the love between humans and animals.
I had to laugh when reading about how Thomas would "roll over on his back, worming himself closer to me, inch by inch." Why, who's had a cat that hasn't done that! The picture of Thomas also made me smile.
Anyone who has owned an animal knows the angst and trepidation that comes when, as evening falls, that beloved pet doesn't show at the back door. Is it all right? Where can it be?
It has often been said that the greatest love that can be bestowed is the love between an owner and pet. That may be a bit of a stretch, however, I believe it's not far from the truth. As Mark Twain once penned, "Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat."
So, Thomas Kitty, Godspeed. You loved, you were loved, and I can't help but believe the world is a better place for your time here on Earth.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Typical contractor rates are in the $75-$150 range. Other than that, it really depends on your app. Here are some common considerations:
If you can nail down some of those questions, it will give us a better idea of how to answer your question. For orders of magnitude, think of it this way: App development is a game of tens of thousands, not hundreds. Very basic apps will cost north of $1000 easily, and something as complicated as the app you link to can cost >$75,000 very easily (check out this link for the example of what it cost to develop Twitterific)

LAMPASAS (October 23, 2012)--The Lampasas City Council awarded J Jacobs Construction the task of constructing a new fire station, to be located at 1107 E. Fourth Street.
Monday night, both the Lampasas County Commissioners Court and the city council accepted the bid for $1,063,514.00.
The city has set a budget of $1.2 million which includes $400,000 from the county, not to be exceeded.
Both entities will share the city-owned two-story facility that would have at least twice as many bays, allowing two trucks to share one bay, as well as an administration office, separate sleeping areas for men and women, a kitchen, a laundry room, and a workout area.
According to a 40-year agreement made earlier this year, county commissioners would pay up to $400,000 toward the construction costs and some of the possible future repairs to the building.
Roughly $460,000 of the county's money was left over from tax notes and a county bond issued to build annexes in downtown Lampasas, County Auditor Jack Clark said earlier this year.
County officials said the county would get a pro-rated share of the building if it sells.
The fire station is expected to be completed sometime next year.
Water and sewer lines have already been installed.

Thinking about running out for some last minute Christmas shopping? Take a look at Campbell Lane this afternoon and you may want to reconsider.
Keirsten Jaggers is with the Department of Transportation. She says, "I'm sure it's outrageous. Everybody's out trying to shop. We've got three days left. And I'm sure people are trying to beat the weather. There's the possibility of a really bad storm and people are trying to get out now to get those last minute things."
Jaggers recommends taking it slow if you do go out on the roads. She says drive time is slow in many areas but some are especially congested.
Jaggers says, "Scottsville Road and Campbell Lane are two of our busiest roads in Warren County. And they are just going to have a lot of traffic. Period. And when you bring on the holiday season, it's just going to be crazy."
Jaggers says there's no way to completely fix the problem.
"There is a way. We make everybody not drive cars anymore. There's just no way to make things move quicker when there's that much traffic on the road."
Jaggers says all the lights in the area are synchronized, in fact, she says an engineer was hired to make sure that was the case.
"Right now, people aren't going to be able to tell that. Because as soon as you move two or three feet you see your light turn green. And you don't move you don't move you don't move, and then you move two car lengths and stop."
Jaggers says remember to give yourself plenty of time if you do go out in the coming days. The weather may cause more delays in the already troubled traffic.

WHEELING - Stating the legislation failed to offer "any protection from the abuses, expenses, and overreach of Obamacare," Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, Ohio, voted against the Wednesday compromise that will increase the debt ceiling and put federal employees back to work.
Fellow Republican House member David McKinley of West Virginia, however, voted for the bill, citing a need to end "partisan bickering" in the nation's capital.
"While I would prefer a plan that makes more substantial reforms to grow the economy, address our excessive spending, and fix the broken health care law, this agreement will allow us to move forward," McKinley said.
"Until Republicans control the White House and the Senate, we simply will not be able to repeal or defund Obamacare," McKinley added.
This, however, did not prevent Johnson from opposing the legislation, as he called it a "complete failure."
"The American people have had to tighten their belts in this weak economy, and Washington should be forced to do the same. The fact that there are no spending cuts in this legislation means that Washington continues to demand more from the American taxpayers, but refuses to put itself on any kind of budget. And, that is not fair."
In supporting the compromise, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-Charleston, said simply, "It is time to reopen the government, and it is clearly not in our country's best interests to default on our debts."
"I am pleased that our leaders could put politics aside and come together in a bipartisan way to reach a deal that reopens the government and prevents a first-ever default on our debt," said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., warned fellow legislators against waiting until the last minute to raise the debt ceiling in the future.
"We're going to find ourselves in this same situation before long, so they need to be prepared to act differently. This reckless behavior is unsustainable, and it's no way to seriously run a government," he said.
"Today's bipartisan plan will end the shutdown, and prevent the catastrophic consequences associated with the U.S. failing to pay its bills," said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Avon, Ohio.
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Terrace Park, Ohio, said he was glad see "weeks of Washington dysfunction" come to an end, but hopes reductions in government spending can become a reality.
"This is a win for the American people," Portman added. "Now that Congress has temporarily avoided this economic crisis, I am hopeful that President Obama will stick to his promise and come to the table."

I need a GUI on a remote server to which I have an ssh connection. Is it possible to share my X11 window system with it given that there's no X11 installed on the server?
If the remote application is normal, then when it was installed, it would have pulled in all the necessary X11 components for it to run, so when you redirected the display back to your local machine, it would actually be using much of the X11 system on the remote machine.
In your case, in the comments, you mention that this is a GUI installer, so it's expecting to be run on a system which already has X11 installed and it just makes use of it. So if X11 is not installed on the remote system, it will just fail.
Of course, if the GUI installer provides all the necessary X11 libraries itself, then the

[natural gas]
[natural gas vehicles]
[commercial trucking fleets]
A new report from PIRA Energy Group says that the sheer
volume of US recoverable gas resources relative to expected
demand suggests that benchmark Henry Hub gas prices will remain
deeply discounted relative to oil prices beyond this decade.
Furthermore, the lengthy period of low-cost gas relative to oil
has tremendously broadened support for the view that
inexpensive North American gas is here to stay. According to
the report, by employing off-the-shelf technologies, consumers
could be able to accrue substantial savings given the latent
expected price advantages of natural gas vs. diesel. Such
savings can also be attained in the transportation sector,
particularly with regard to the much discussed development of
natural gas vehicles (NGVs) (Fig. 2). The
report concludes that future gas demand in such NGVs has
enormous upside potential, led by private sector initiatives,
with or without federal government assistance.
Fig. 2. Natural gas
vehicles, like this Honda
Civic, are starting to gain traction in the
Adoption of natural gas into both US commercial trucking and
all varieties of fleets is approaching a critical threshold,
which ultimately could lead to enormous gas demand growth at
the expense of diesel fuel. In an overall high case scenario,
NGV gas demand would be capable of reaching 14 Bcfd by 2030,
suggesting that as much as 2.4 MMbpd of diesel fuel demand
could be at risk. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) consumed in Class
8 trucks would be responsible for approximately 70% of that
total, 10 Bcfd. Fleet vehicles typically consuming compressed
natural gas (CNG) would account for the additional 4 Bcfd. PIRA
forecasts natural gas will capture a more moderate, but also
impressive, 7 Bcfd share of the US on-highway transportation
fuels market by 2030. HP

There are many academic/industrial researchs about various development methods (Scrum, XP, waterfall, ect.), telling us how to do it right and stuff. But I never saw something that suggest how to choose a method, what will be better for a given project.
I know that what the developers are used to is an very important aspect. But lets say that I am assembling a new group from scratch, and that every programmer in the world is willing to work with me. :)
What aspects of the project should I consider to decide between Scrum, XP, TDD, ect.? Or is that an entirely human thing, regardless of what is being developed?
- I said that all programmers are available, but you may comment they're knowledge about the domain, or other characteristics in the answers. E.g. "If you chose to hire people with no domain knowledge,
MethodXis better than
MathodY, beacause ...." is a completely welcomed answer.

I am going on a trip with one memory card; should I buy another or would a USB flash drive be helpful for storing images?
Not to supplement but perhaps to complement.
Assuming you don't shoot like crazy, try to get enough cards for the photo trip. This should be your first copy of all your photos and bringing. Do not offload photos if you do not have to.
Then it makes sense to have an extra backup device. Some people use a computer's hard-drive or an external one (possible inside an iPod or Media-Player), which comes to more or less the same. Your backup will be on a fragile and thief-tempting device.
Using the computer, you can backup to those relatively cheap USB devices which are generally quite durable and easier to hide.
Even better, you can use your computer or an independent burner to copy your memory cards to DVDs. Disks are extremely durable, extremely cheap and virtually no value to anyone but yourself. Normally I burn everything twice, keep one copy with me and mail myself the second copy. Replication and duplication like this greatly improve your chances of not losing anything.
Generally speaking, memory cards and usb storage drives are pretty comparably priced. So the real question is which would you have more use for long term? And will you reliably have any way to transfer images from your memory card onto the USB drive? Usually that's going to require a computer, and well, if you have computer you have a number of other options, such as just storing them on the computer (assuming it's yours) or sending them along to some online storage (assuming the computer has reasonable internet capacity). Or a number of other options Itai lays out.
Personally, in that situation in the past, I voted for the memory card. It was about the same price as a USB flash drive of comparable capacity and speed, but it was far more convenient to just swap from one card to another. (I actually took 2... and still ran out of space and ended up ordering a 3rd from newegg while on the trip, delivered to where I was staying.)
My rule of thumb for a multi-day trip is to use one card or less in a day so that if a memory card dies or is lost I will not lose all of my photos from the trip. It is rare for memory cards to die, but I have had 2 Lexar Pro memory cards corrupt images in the past 3 years. So a 10-day trip would require a minimum of 10 memory cards, my actual number is more like 14 cards because I am shooting RAW and my cards are 4GB each or less.
I do have an external hard drive backup device that copies memory cards but I no longer use it. For most occasions I have a laptop with me and copy all of the images to the laptop each night for backup and a chance to look at the day's photos. But I do not erase/format the memory cards until after I get home and have all of the images backed up and verified.
A USB flash drive is a lot like a memory card except that you can't use it in your camera. They both are small, have limited capacity compared to a hard drive, and are about the same price.
A memory card will be much more useful to you as a photographer than a USB flash drive.
Since you suggested a USB flash drive I assume you are taking a laptop with you anyway (since you certainly can't use a USB flash drive directly from your camera). If this is the case, why would you not just use the laptop itself as storage for the photos once you clear them off your card? And if you need backup, you can invest in a portable hard drive as well. This works out much cheaper per GB and you also get to have a backup.

From the Dean
The University of Houston is poised at the precipice of great change. The Tier One referendum has been passed by the voters of Texas. The University of Houston has been confirmed as a leader among the Texas Emerging Research Universities and has established its strategic plan to achieve the goal of Tier One designation.
This document positions the Libraries to respond to the new and complex challenges that lie ahead. It is an ambitious and bold blueprint which positions the Libraries as a foundational element of the drive to establish and maintain the high level of excellence which defines a Tier One university.
University libraries are at the strategic center of the mission of a university. They are there to support knowledge creation and inception, they provide access to and dissemination of that knowledge for learning, and they are the guardians of past knowledge for the enlightenment of future generations.
The University of Houston Libraries Strategic Directions Plan for 2010-2013 reaffirms the commitment of the University of Houston librarians and staff to advancing the Tier One goals of the University.
I look forward to the "exciting organizational conversation" initiated by the outstanding work of the 2010 Strategic Directions Steering Committee and to the creative and entrepreneurial initiatives that will be developed by our librarians and staff not only to achieve, but exceed, expectations over the next three years.
About the Strategic Directions Committee
The charge to the Steering Committee is as follows:
- Develop a plan for the Library Strategic Directions for a three-year period, September, 2010 through August, 2013.
- The Plan should build on the current Library Strategic Directions, be aspirational and position the Libraries to achieve the mandatory resources, services, and operations reflective of a Tier One university research library.
- It should reflect the University's top priorities, commonly referred to as "The Rocks," and position the Libraries as a contributor to these priorities.
- Significant and widespread engagement of librarians and staff should be fundamental to the recommendations developed.
- The Steering Committee should produce a plan for wide distribution to the University community and beyond.
- Completion of the report is expected by August 31, 2010.

| Stephany Romanow, Hydrocarbon Processing,
By Stephany Romanow
HOUSTON -- Conditions have changed for the engineering and
construction (E&C) industry, especially in North America.
That was the consensus of attendees at the 16th
annual Rice Global Engineering & Construction (E&C) Forum, held
this week at Rice University.
The theme of the conference was getting ahead of the curve and
adapting to the accelerated pace of changing pace in the
E&C business.
The good news is that a reversal in project bookings is under way.
Previously, new construction projects were
predominately located outside of North America. However, as the
full effect of the shale gas and oil wave continues, North
America is now the location for new major E&C projects.
Mike McAtee, senior vice president with BASF, believes
geography is part of the present uptick in construction activity. But other
factors are involved, especially for the downstream. Low energy
prices stemming from the abundant shale gas supplies are
keeping prices very low. Likewise, cheap natural gas supports
expansion of the North American petrochemical and chemical
Experience matters, said Keith Manning,
executive vice president at Zachry Holdings, Inc. in San
Antonio. During the lull in petrochemical projects, US E&C companies have
been involved in other major projects such power projects. Many
of the experiences from constructing coal or natural gas
fired-power plants can be transferred to refining and petrochemical projects.
The shale wave is also facilitating new E&C
firms to enter the US market. Keith Claus, president and CEO of
SK E&C, shared that international E&C companies view
North America as a very favorable location to conduct
multi-billion-dollar, lump-sum turn-key projects. SK E&C, as one of
those companies, is considering North America as an option
to employ its global workforce as opportunities in the Middle
East dwindle.

Being a PhD student, I have written/will write several papers. Most of them share a common bibliography file and some styles, so I created a directory tree like this:
<name of conference>/<name of article>/<article files (tex etc.)>
<name of journal>/<name of article>/<article files (tex etc.)>
The problem is that each paper contains references to the parent directories, so it must be compiled inside this environment.
I am now thinking of creating independent directories, i.e., moving bibliography and templates inside each directory.
How did you solve this problem? Which layout do you use?
EDIT: I'd also like to move them to other computers, using a version control system and two computers that can work using the VCS.

While other books have addressed various aspects of the subject, such as specific aircraft or warfare in specific wars, this book is the first to take a comprehensive look at strategic bombing from its beginnings to the present. Written by a historian, who is also an expert on the technology of bombing and its application, the work covers the theory, hardware, and operations of strategic bombing. While the author, a former U.S. Air Force pilot, focuses primarily on American aircraft and activities, he includes the strategic bombardment efforts of Great Britain, Germany, and Russia, as he places the topic into a larger context and also covers air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missiles. More than a chronological narrative, this study offers a critical analysis and concludes by calling into question the value of strategic bombardment.
"This excellent, well-researched study is nicely balanced: six chapters address the prewar period, and the remaining five cover postwar events. The book includes a number of photographs. Death from the Heavens is a major contribution that neither practitioners and nor students of airpower should overlook."
— Air & Space Power Journal

I have noticed that certain texts like Terry Tao's Analysis I, Bartle and Sherbert's Real analysis as well as Michael Spivak do not use the language of topology in their exposition.
A text like Walter Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis has a separate chapter on topology.
This has confused me.As someone who will shortly study real analysis, which approach should be the preferred one?

A friend just got a new tri bike with Zipp wheels and they are loud when she is coasting. What causes that?
Sign up

There is a part on the hub of the wheel called the Freehub. This is a ratchet mechanism which allows your bike to freewheel, or move forward, even when you are not pedaling. This is different from Fixed gear bikes, which have no freewheel mechanism, and will force your pedals around, as long as the wheels are moving.
The noise you are hearing is the pawls, which are spring loaded teeth. These teeth allow the hub to move forward when you stop pedaling, by moving out of the way. But thy will spring back up and grab the inside of the freehub shell when force is applied from the chain. Meaning when you start pedaling.
This photo is of an old style freewheel, but it illustrates the concept well.
The noise is caused by the spring action of the pawl clicking back into place. Because your friend is riding Zipps, which are large hollow constructs of carbon fiber, that noise is amplified particularly loudly. The rims act kind of like speaker boxes, and the noise sounds loud.
There is unlikely to be any problem with her setup, it's just different than yours.
Most bikes have 'freehubs', a design Shimano came up with that is brilliant because it places the wheel bearing outboard of the sprockets rather than inboard, as per the 'freewheel' design that preceded it. Inboard bearings place a shear force on the spindle when going over bumps that can break the spindle.
Anyway, Shimano patented the freehub, and rightly so. Their freehubs run reasonably quiet, (with a lower 'note' on the ones with cheap steel sprockets attached to them).
Other manufacturers are not able to licence the freehub design or are unwilling to pay whatever licence fees Shimano charge. As a result they have their own technical workarounds.
The pawls of a Shimano freehub are placed deep inside the freehub body, the noise they make when freewheeling is therefore insulated, i.e. quiet. Other makes place the pawls inside the hub (Campagnolo) or else they use ratchets instead of pawls inside the freehub body (DT/Swiss). Hence the different noise characteristics of these up-market, high-end freehubs.
Here is the freehub body from a typical, recent Zipp wheel. As you can see they have not used the original (and totally excellent) Shimano design, the pawls are placed in the wheel, not the freehub-body. Coupled with the aforementioned 'guitar case' of the disc wheel a loud racket is made.

It's air vs. land in Class S football final
The two most prolific offensive players ever to compete in the Naugatuck Valley League will meet head-to-head Friday night at 7 in the Class S football state championship game at Central Connecticut's Arute Field in New Britain.
Ansonia tailback Arkeel Newsome will lead the No. 2-seeded Chargers (14-0) while Woodland quarterback Tanner Kingsley will lead the No. 4-seeded Woodland Hawks (12-2).
From a statistical perspective, it appears to be the perfect offensive matchup, pitting the state's top two scorers at their respective positions against one another.
Newsome goes into the final game of his career as the state's all-time leader in rushing yards (10,426) and touchdowns (183) while Kingsley goes into his final game as quarterback with the most touchdown passes (113) and the second-most passing yards (8,253) and completions (598) in state history.
Only Masuk's Casey Cochran has thrown for more yards (10,767) and completions (635).
Newsome is the only player in state history to rush for over 10,000 yards with his yardage total going into the game placing him sixth all-time nationally both according to the National Federation and Maxpreps.
Newsome has an outside chance to move into fourth place in career national rushing, but would have to have a monster game against Woodland to do so.
He is 469 yards away from fourth place Kevin Parks of Mt. Ulla, N.C. (10,895 yards, 2006-09) and is 463 yards away from Jonathan Gray of Aledo, Tex. (10,889 yards, 2008-11).
Newsome has rushed for over 400 yards in two of his last three games. He ran for 406 yards and seven touchdowns against Naugatuck on Thanksgiving Day, 492 yards and seven touchdowns against Coginchaug in the state quarterfinals and 265 yards and five touchdowns against Rocky Hill in the state semis.
That's 1,163 yards and 19 touchdowns in three games over three games in a 10-day span. With a state title on the line on a turf field in the final game of his career, there is no telling what Newsome is capable of doing.
For a more realistic perspective with relation to Woodland, Newsome rushed for 222 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries in the Chargers' 48-7 NVL championship game win over the Hawks this year.
Newsome has played five games against Woodland in his career. In his other four games, he ran for 168 yards on 16 carries and 231 yards on 23 carries as a junior, 196 yards on 26 carries as a sophomore and 75 yards on two carries as a freshman. That's a total of 892 yards on 88 carries for a 10.1 yards per carry average.
Kingsley hasn't had quite the same success against Ansonia that he's had against the rest of the NVL or the state. In this year's league championship game, he completed just 10 of 29 passes for 76 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions.
In four career games against Ansonia, he is a combined 40-for-95 for 379 yards with two touchdown passes and four interceptions. His best game came in last year's NVL championship game when he completed 14 of 25 passes for 195 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a 56-26 loss.
So Kingsley is capable of playing well against Ansonia, and he has played very well in the two state playoff games this year. Against Morgan in the quarterfinals, he completed 24 of 37 passes for 265 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He followed that game up with a 20-for-35 performance against Bloomfield for 258 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's semifinals.
In fact, in his four career state playoff games he has a 3-1 record and has combined to complete 85 of 137 passes (62 percent) for 1,075 yards with 14 touchdowns and just one interception.
Of course, Newsome had done pretty well in the state playoffs, as well. In 11 career playoff games (10-1) he has rushed for a combined 2,323 yards on 225 carries with 37 touchdowns.
If you factor out the three games his freshman year when he was a backup to Montrell Dobbs, Newsome has rushed for 2,174 yards and 35 touchdowns in eight starts for an average of 271.75 yards and 4.375 touchdowns per game as a starter in the state playoffs.

Greatings All,
I am curious about the resolutions > 1080p... I now have a gopro3 black that can record at 2.7K but what do I do with it??!! I can edit it in Kdenlive but, how can I render it in a format that will output at 2.7?
Is this a feature not yet available to video in general? Does anyone have experience with high resolution rendering?
Peace and love to all.
Fri, 04/05/2013 - 01:34
Higher resolution aquisition does not mean you have to output at that resolution.
It can be just as much about flexibility to recompose and zoom in a little, also benefit of scaling down to 1080P giving more detail than certain so called '1080P' shooting DSLR's that are actually far from it, for example.
Fri, 04/05/2013 - 07:16
Yes you can render greater thsn 1080P, but what is your target delivery and restrictions? Native resolution of playback device? Is that device going to scale it down anyway? With greater resolution comes more storage requirement, processing power and potential playback issues.
But you could creste a 2.7k project in kdenlive, edit and encode to h264 and play it on your PC, unless your screen resolution is greater than 2.7k it will be scaled. If that's the case maybe it's more beneficial to reframe, add some zooms, pans, scale and crop a more pristine 1080P video out the 2.7k?
Personally I think the oncoming push to greater than 1080P, in non cinema cameras for production, but then GoPros are used in production, is nonsense for anything but ability to reframe and crop unless I have a greater than 60" TV or projector in a home cinema set up other than going to cinema delivery. Its just marketing to get us to buy new TVs now 3D has failed.
Fri, 04/05/2013 - 19:22
It is also stupid how they changed the way of specifying format (resolution), just to make the numbers higher.
From the start of TV before WWII, it was always the number of scan lines (the vertical resolution), like the old GB BW system was 405, USA was 525, PAL was 625, old french BW was 819, etc. The HD specification still keeps the tradition with 480p, 720p, 1080i, etc.
BUT NOW - suddenly there are 2K, 4K etc formats!
So it would seem that 2K is twice the resolution of 1080? Noooo... they just started to use the horizontal resolution to name formats.
There is almost no difference between 1080 and 2k!
To make things worse, they can sell you all kinds of stuff under "2K", see
Fri, 04/05/2013 - 20:27
@hounddogproductions, re RED, I wouldn't say it's silly and just marketing, our stills cameras shoot 4k raw, having the option to shoot video at that high resolution and raw or close to is great, for the reasons mentioned above and being able to extract high quality stills as if photos from the video stream has got to be good and it could be said that if it were'nt for RED other companies who now have to 'compete' with RED have had to up their game and deliver more for less.
All the 2k, 4k naming is because it's been aimed at Cinema, DCP an all that, different bodies creating the specifications. Different codecs and delivery. But the 'lines' are already becoming blurred (no pun intended) with the introduction of 4K for TV and home consumption.

A quick note on the 1520p and 1080p modes of the GoPro Hero 3 Black: as GoPro's Abe Kislevicz writes, the 1080p mode(s) are the 1520p mode with three fixed reframing and downscaling settings for wide, medium, and narrow. Instead of doing this in post production, the Hero 3 Black does it before writing the video data to the memory card.
Abe tested and found out that the results are virtually identical whether you manually post process or let the Hero 3 Black do the work. In consequence, you don't gain any additional benefits in terms of better sensor noise and light sensivity by switching to 1080p. It's always the same sensor, you are just scaling down. This also means that due to interpolation 1080p wide FOV will have the lowest noise levels (averaging is a low pass filter which typically reduces color noise), medium FOV comes next, and since 1080p narrow is almost 1:1 with sensor resolution, it will reduce noise the least.
That is also the reason why the Hero 3 Black needs the better sensor with reduced noise level, compared to the Hero 3 Silver and White. Otherwise, medium and narrow FOV would become unusable due to color noise. And Protune wouldn't work either, as noise reduction and sharpening is turned down when enabling Protune. You can see this with the Hero 2 where Protune basically becomes useless in certain lighting conditions and when you do your post processing in Kdenlive and avoid Cineform: the color noise is clearly visible and at least I never managed to reduce it using the Kdenlive filter without getting blurry results.
Sat, 04/06/2013 - 17:14
Lowpass reduces all kinds of noise, not just color, if done right.
Gopro's 2.7K is in fact 1440p (at 48fps! wow!) as specified here:
so it has cca double the number of pixels than 1080p. Thus, the spatial down sampling should give cca 3dB of noise reduction, which is just visible with the eye.
Of course, down sampling only reduces noise when done the right way, with a lowpass filter. Just using the "nearest neighbor" will not reduce noise, worse, it will add aliasing.
Whether it is better to downsample in cam or in post, depends on two things:
If the cam encodes 1440p with a higher bitrate than 1080p, then you get more info from the cam in 1440p, and it might make sense to downsample in post, especially if the cam uses "nearest neighbor" sampling.
On the other hand, if 1440 and 1080 are encoded at the same bitrate, it is better to leave downsampling to the cam, as the compression will be higher on 1440, giving no more info than 1080 - possibly just more artefacts.
@yellow >because it's been aimed at Cinema
yeah, I know. For the "cinema" guys, "video" is a dirty word, somehow automatically implying inferior quality, like "VHS is only good for porn..." - in fact for me, it's not even good enough for that :-)
So, they feel an inner urge to psychologically (and marketing-wise) distance them from anything "video".
But for an engineer like me, 2K (and 4K, 8k, 2^nK...) walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... There is a 10X bigger difference between VHS and 1080p, which are both firmly in the video camp, than between 1080p and 2K.
Sure, XYZ is a slightly bigger (when working within an limited integer range) and better standardized color space, and higher bitrate coding means less artefacts, but it is all still just plain old video!

Denoising: I am still working on denoisers, sorry for the delay - you know that spare time is precious, and image denoising is a science in itself...
I've been experimenting with many different denoising algorithms, and it is not simple to decide which is the best. Probably no single one, as there are different types of noise, of base material, and different trade offs between speed and efficiency, etc.
Hope to have at least one ready before summer.
p.s. the existing denoiser is a port from Mplayer, where it was mainly intended for real time use during playback, so it's main advantage is speed.
Any advanced denoiser will be WAY SLOWER. (and yes, I am considering GPU acceleration if possible)
And of course, there is no denoiser that won't eat a bit of low contrast fine detail...
Sat, 04/06/2013 - 20:14
Small correction and nit picking: 1440p is actually termed 2.7k Cine in contrast to 2.7 which boils down to 1520p. I know for sure since I had to check a few things when I edited my 1520p footage taken during ice diving in Austria.
Sat, 04/06/2013 - 20:22
As for the Hero 3 Black: 1520p actually has higher bit rates compared to 1080p, you can find the max rates in GoPro's data sheet on their web site. So shooting in 1520p actually makes sense as there is room for post processing. Of course, 1520p doesn't always make sense.
And in my opinion, the integrated downscaler and denoiser is pretty damn good, at least for 1080p ... but unfortunately the white balancing is barely usable under water in many lighting conditions, except the best ones. So for us divers, we desperately need to shoot in Protune with wb basically switched off, which GoPro likes to call raw in a funny farm attempt.
The blog articles by Abe Kislevicz are really worth a read for GoPro Hero 3 Black users.

I have yet to work with the webm format. But independent of that one important factor is the maximum allowed bit rate. This is a tradeoff between size, detail, and transmission or storage capacity.
As a note, the 2.7k modes run at approx up to 45 MBit/s. That is 5.5 MBytes/s.
Final render output in my cases is good old 1080p25 H.264. This is mostly due to slow diving. For private use and archiving I currently render with 12 MByte/s and for YouTube I use 6 MByte/s. The rationale is that the infrastructure for high bitrates is still not there, at least where I live, despite all the computer illiterate politicians boasting otherwise. The 12 MByte/s are most probably overkill, but I got stick to it as I started with these para1in my early days.
But the other and more important reason is that under water in the waters I dive you have a lot of smallest debris floating which defeats highest resolution. So I use 2.7k to either scale down when I need the wide fov impression for a scene or scale down and reframe as necessary when I need the details to some degree. For the scenes I typically film 12 MByte/s already still has quite some reserve so that's why I'm sticking to it for the moment. But you need to check this.
Wed, 05/08/2013 - 17:11
This dive video is an example of shooting in 2.7k and in some clips I reframe and zoom in depending on my needs. The resulting video is mp4 container with H.264 codec and max bit rate of 8kbs.
Fri, 05/10/2013 - 10:53
Oh shit, this is way tool cool. I would like to have such a beast for filming diving spots from above air. Dashing over divers' heads before they submerge, et cetera. What's the price for such a thingie?
Sat, 05/11/2013 - 09:05
I think making an audio recording of the nice surf seen on the beach, and substituting it for the "hornet's nest" audio would make it even better...
Sun, 05/12/2013 - 07:55
Do you use a special decoupled fixture for the Hero or just the fixture the Phantom comes with? BTW, prices already dropped, so a RTF kit is very appealing, as I have no background in RC models.

Hess no longer considers the terminal network -- which includes 19 terminals along the East Coast and which had been a main outlet for production for its Hovensa joint venture with PdVSA -- as central to its operations. Hess's St. Lucia terminal in the Caribbean also will be in the group offered for sale.
By TESS STYNES
Hess Corp. is seeking to sell its US terminal network and
complete its exit from the refining business with the closing
of its Port Reading, N.J., refinery by the end of February.
CEO John Hess said the moves "will complete [the company's]
transformation from an integrated oil and gas company to one
that is predominantly an exploration and production company and
be able to redeploy substantial additional capital to fund its
future growth opportunities."
Hess on Monday also said it was notified by Elliott
Associates on Friday that it is seeking clearance from US
regulators to acquire more than $800 million in Hess shares and
that Elliott also is considering nominating candidates for
election to Hess's board at its upcoming annual meeting.
Mr. Hess said the company is willing to meet with Elliott to
hear its ideas. Further details weren't provided.
Hess recently had a market capitalization of about $20.12
The company has been pruning its portfolio to fund drilling
and exploration efforts, recently reaching a deal for $525
million from Royal Dutch Shell for its stake in the Beryl area
fields in the UK North Sea and the Scottish Area Gas Evacuation
System. In September, Hess agreed to sell some minority stakes
it holds in fields in Azerbaijan to India's ONGC Videsh Ltd. for $1
In addition to proceeds from the sale of the terminal
network, the company on Monday said it expects the planned
terminal-assets divestiture and exit from the refining business will free up about
$1 billion of working capital for other growth
Hess no longer considers the terminal network -- which
includes 19 terminals along the East Coast and which had been a
main outlet for production for its Hovensa joint venture with
Petroleos de Venezuela SA -- as central to its operations.
Hess's St. Lucia terminal in the Caribbean also will be in the
group offered for sale.
Hess also said it has access to refined petroleum products
from third parties to support its retail and marketing
The Port Reading operation produces primarily gasoline and
components used for blending heating oil and has incurred
losses during two of the past three years.

The only examples of commutative rings of finite global dimension I know are either:
- Dedekind domains (and fields as a degenerate special case)
- Regular local rings
- Rings constructed from the previous examples by taking direct sums, or forming the rings of polynomials over a ring of finite global dimension.
Are there other examples? In particular, are there other examples that are finite-dimensional over a field $k$?
(Examples of rings of finite global dimension are easier to come by in the noncommutative case, but I'm specifically curious about the commutative case.)


text: Recipe: Sunflower Cherry Oatmeal Bars By Kary Woodruff February 22, 2013 Looking for a delicious heart-healthy recipe? Well here is one of my favorites. It's pretty simple to make, and they can work was either a dessert or an after-school snack. Give it a try. Ingredients1 cup rolled oats, quick cooking or old fashioned 1 cup whole spelt or whole wheat flour 1/2 cup packed natural brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup dried cherries 1/2 cup expeller pressed canola oil 5 tablespoons orange juice, divided 1/2 cup fruit sweetened black cherry preserves Directions Preheat oven to 325ºF. Combine oats, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, sunflower seeds and cherries in a large bowl. Add oil and 3 tablespoons orange juice, mixing well until all ingredients are fully combined. Reserve a half cup and press the rest into a lightly oiled 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice with the cherry preserves and spread evenly over the oat mixture in the pan.

I used the :active pseudoclass on my buttons to change the padding and border color when clicked. This visually mimics a button press. See an example.
Works in FF. In Chrome, though, the clicks don't always register. Specifically, if you click-and-hold on the text inside the button, then drag off the text (but still inside the button), the click will not fire. Same goes if you click in the padding, then drag into the text.
I've read weird things about buttons and padding in FF vs. Chrome but I can't figure out how to solve this problem.

City eyes state camera rules
May 8, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — City Council members agreed to monitor pending legislation in the Ohio General Assembly aimed at outlawing traffic surveillance cameras in the stat....
These politicians are such liars! How can they expect people not to develop contempt for the law when what they do is simply motivated by greed, and justified by a fantasy concern for "public safety." People in Steubenville are foolish if they do not vote these clowns out of office. If the cameras come back, I will never do business in Steubenville again.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Traffic cameras are all about REVENUE RAISING! They have absolutely nothing to do with safety. How dumb do these politicians think people are?

The 10 Worst Powers to Have on Heroes
On Heroes, the best powers are reserved for a select three to four people who move the plot, such as it is, forward. For every lead who can instantly heal or fly, there are about a dozen who can learn things fairly quickly or who have super duper hearing. Today, we examine the losers of the Heroes world and discuss why having their powers is more embarrassing than just saying you didn't have the power and showing people your stamp collection instead.
#10. Isaac Mendez
The Power:
He has a precognitive painting ability and the ability to turn pupils white, thus disguising one's self kind of as an albino if necessary. Imagine someone chasing you and you had to blend in with a number of albinos provided you could only see their eyes. It gets complicated, right?
Why It Sucks:
The ability to paint the future, as long it narrowly concerns a limited set of people with whom you've never met, sounds like the power equivalent of being handed the scripts to the entire next season of As the World Turns. Assuming you don't watch As the World Turns (and we assume you, not being a 40-year-old woman, don't), this power would be all but worthless.
You never saw Isaac painting something useful such as next week's stock ticker or the result of horse races or lottery numbers. Instead, he'd just paint pictures of a nuclear explosion which never happened. And, the power's not even that accurate. Why didn't he paint a picture of Nathan Petrelli flying Peter to safety, seeing as how that's what actually happened?
With this power, you would get up each day, turn your eyes a milky white color, and paint something like your next door neighbor buying a new Dodge Stratus six months from now. Add to this power the cost of canvasses, oil paint and brushes, and you have what amounts to one expensive and fairly useless hobby.
#9. Matt Parkman
The Power:
He can hear other people's thoughts.
Why It Sucks:
Kind of Counselor Troi-esque in its scope, this ability allows one to perceive the thoughts of anyone around them. This doesn't make sense on several levels, primarily because thoughts, if you think about it (ha!), are extremely disjointed and nonsensical, kind of like a slightly less disturbing David Lynch film with fewer fish babies and more fantasies of yourself as a sports hero.
However, assuming you could hear thoughts beyond the typically random commercial jingles and incoherent half-thoughts evaluating the need to go to the bathroom now or if they can hold it, you'd find out what people would really think of you. You'd walk into a room sporting a new moustache and nine out of 10 people would be thinking "child molester." On the upside of things, you'd pretty much always know when your zipper was down or if you had a whistling booger. So there's that.
Of course, in the second season Parkman developed the ability to alter people's thoughts, but that's pretty much an entirely different power. Presumably the writers decided to give themselves a mulligan after realizing that his original power basically enabled him to listen to people's internal evaluation of how comfortable their underpants are and disjointed "director's cuts" of their sentences.
#8. Hana Gitelman
The Power:
Why It Sucks:
Hana Gitelman was only around for something like 2 percent of one episode, and do you have to wonder why? Her power was the ability to communicate with machines, but not like the way Micah Sanders can. That's different ... somehow. Hana's power was more like just having a form of built-in Wi-Fi in that she could email without the aid of a computer. So can we. It's called our cell phone.
They introduced her under the radar and had her MSN chat with Ted Sprague once, and then we don't really remember ever seeing her again. Maybe Sylar killed her and used her power to upgrade his DISH Network subscription wirelessly.
Don't get us wrong. The ability to communicate via computers without the aid of any kind of technology whatsoever would be handy. But, compared to controlling the space time continuum, flying or instant healing, this ability is right up there with "really bendy elbow" or the power to win at paper-rock-scissors over 85 percent of the time.
#7. Sanjog Iyer
The Power:
Spirit guide/Dream traveler
Why It Sucks:
You know if you had the option, you probably wouldn't want to read people's minds ... well, most people would be unlikely to visit other people's dreams, too, even if by doing so you could "guide" your subject back through their past.
Why anyone on the planet would want to do this is anyone's guess, but we're thinking it would primarily have application in the ex-boyfriend department. Your girlfriend dumps you and you're pining for her endlessly so you hop into her dreams wherein she's making out with her new boyfriend and you spiritually guide her back to her past where she was dating you. What you do after that point is a bit more unclear, because it's not like she's going to wake up and feel that dreaming about the early stages of your relationship will erase the fact that you ran her grandma over with a hay combine on a drunken rampage.
At best, if you told people you were a dream traveler you could maybe hook up with some really unintelligent older chicks who misunderstood and thought you said you were in Blues Traveler.
#6. Ted Sprague
The Power:
He is nuclear.
Why It Sucks:
Being nuclear seems like it would be a pretty handy power. You could solve the nation's energy crisis in a safe and clean manner, but environmentalists who haven't read up about nuclear power's benefits since 1979 would constantly picket you. On the plus side, you could create fission with your hands and reduce them to a gooey, gurgling mass similar to what happened to the evil Gremlin after they put him in the microwave.
None of this really explains how you'd come out ahead, though. Would people pay you for generating power? We suppose. Then again, if you needed money you could hold the world hostage for $1 Million in exchange for not liquidating their most cherished cities, such as wherever you live, because who wants to endure a really long car drive to somewhere more strategically advisable with gas prices what they are?
This power would be great if you wanted to blow up an entire large city as part of the aforementioned hostage situation or if you had a radical agenda you wished to inflict upon the unbelievers. But what if you don't? What if you're just a normal guy with a crappy job, the same as everyone else? At best, you'll just use your power to get ahead in line at the grocery store and to punish people who cut you off in traffic. They flip you off, you make it so they can no longer have children. Seems fair.
