Traveling Exhibitions
Cooper Hewitt exhibitions regularly travel across the country and the world.
Beautiful Users, organized by Ellen Lupton, Senior Curator of Design, introduces visitors to one of the fundamental changes in design thinking over the past half-century: the shift toward designs based on observations of human anatomy and behavior. In the early twentieth century, designers and architects began considering measurements of human anatomy in order to create more functional products and to standardize design. For example, designer Henry Dreyfuss and his colleague Alvin R. Tilley created "Joe" and "Josephine," generic depictions of the average American body, and Tilley and designer Niels Diffrient went on to create Humanscale, a system of measurements that accounts for people of diverse ages, abilities, and heights. "Beautiful Users" is the first in a series of exhibitions that seek to introduce the public to the people and methods that define design as an essential human activity. On view at Cooper Hewitt December 12, 2014 to April 26, 2015.
Availability: as of Summer 2015, for slots of 4-6 months
Square footage: 1500
How Posters Work features more than 170 pieces from Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection, dating from the early twentieth century to the present. The posters on view show how dozens of different designers—from prominent pioneers like Paul Rand, Philippe Apeloig, and M/M Paris, to lesser-known makers—have mobilized principles of composition, perception, and storytelling to convey ideas and construct experiences. Curated by Ellen Lupton, Senior Curator of Contemporary Design, How Posters Work shows how designers have used the medium of the poster to explore clarity and complexity, flatness and depth, static representations and unfolding stories. The 208-page book that accompanies the exhibition is a rich primer in visual thinking. On view at Cooper Hewitt May 15 to January 24, 2016.
Availability: as of March 2016, for slots of 3-4 months
Square footage: 3000
Cooper Hewitt's renowned Triennial exhibition series showcases some of the most exciting, provocative, and innovative design created around the globe during the previous three years. Curated by Andrea Lipps, Assistant Curator, and Ellen Lupton, Senior Curator of Contemporary Design, the 2015 presentation will address the notion of beauty in all its guises through the work of sixty-five of the most outstanding voices in the global design scene. The exhibition will feature approximately 250 objects from all areas of design—including fashion, product design, interactive design, architecture, scent design, graphics and communications, and more—that address themes including ethereality, extravagance, transgression, and transformation. On view at Cooper Hewitt February 12, 2016 to August 21, 2016.
Availability: as of February 2017, for slots of 4-6 months
Square footage: 7500

text: I had so much fun today in Live stream and I know that a bunch of you guys did too. Up next I have another piece of food that is edible to some, and nasty to others. Of course I knew it was time to submit a lesson on "how to draw sushi", step by step. As you know sushi is a food that is eaten by millions of people. I always thought that no matter what type of sushi you eat, you're bound to ready yourself as you bite down on raw fish, rice, and other ingredients all perfectly wrapped in a seaweed roll. Of course it wasn't till later when I realized that sushi was also made with imitation crab meat, and even other stuff like rice and small chopped up vegetables. The sushi that I made for you guys will be stuffed with veggies, or you can actually just fill it with whatever you want if veggies are not your thing. No matter what type of food you choose, you will have a great time because when you draw sushi, you can almost taste the image in the picture. Thanks for joining me again, I will be back shortly with more drawing fun. Peace out and have fun!

GEARY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Every year, schools throughout Geary County and on Fort Riley take part in "Walk A Mile Day," an effort by the school district and Geary Community Healthcare Foundation to promote a healthy lifestyle.
On Thursday, October 4th, all elementary and middle school students in USD 475 and at Saint Xavier Catholic School took part in the event.
"Walking is probably the easiest thing you can do and we want them to learn that walking one mile does not take much or very long. I worry about our children being too much of the couch potatoes today," said
Jolana Montgomery-Matney, Executive Director of the Geary Community Healthcare Foundation. She expected 8,000 people to take part in the walk, covering 8,000 miles in total.
This year, the event carried special meaning. It was dedicated to Ron and Becky Bramlage and their four children- 15-year-old Brandon, 13-year-old Boston,11-year-old Beau and 8-year-old Roxanne. All six family members were killed in a plane crash in Florida this past June on their way home from vacation. The family was active in the community and school district.
"We still have a lot of students that are affected by it. Many kids talk about it often. We still have kids that just want to reminisce about the times they shared with their classmates," said Mary Wright, principal of Junction City Middle School.
"The Bramlage Family- Becky was president of the school board and very involved in the school district. All of the children were in school here and they were a very athletic family. They set an excellent example of being active and giving back to their community. It's to honor the family and their legacy," Montgomery-Matney added.
Also in honor of the Bramlage family Thursday, a memorial was unveiled at Junction City Middle School. Four trees were planted in memory of each of the Bramlage children and a bench was placed beside them in remembrance of their parents- a tribute students and teachers will pass by each day.

How can I verify all stored procedures in a SQL Server database? I need to verify if all stored procedures still work, after some tables/views etc. have been deleted or changed.

No, there is no built-in way to do this within SQL Server. As Marian stated, you could recompile all of your procedures to be sure they're still valid, but this doesn't prove they'll still work (and don't forget that deferred name resolution makes this validation less than stellar anyway). However you can use other tools such as SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to help facilitate unit testing.
Just like changes to your application, if you change your schema, you need to test those changes. How automated you make your unit testing depends on the complexity of your schema, the consuming application(s), and the number of permutations possible for stored procedure outcomes (including both explicit input of different parameters or different parameter values, and implicit input such as time of day, state of the system, specific data at rest, etc.). You have to keep in mind that in some cases you will expect the stored procedure output to stay the same, but in others you will actually expect it to be different.
Some potentially helpful links (a couple culled from a question on SO geared to testing a single stored procedure):
I'm not sure there's any other way to verify all of them than by really executing them with proper parameters. Even if you try to compile all procedures again you can be using dynamic sql inside the procedures and miss runtime errors.
I'd say that you need to have a good procedures' trace before and use it after to simulate a good load.
Another idea is to really have a comprehensive suite of tests for all procedures and when doing any schema changes you execute the test suite.
Visual Studio can validate the existence of objects named in your stored procedures, if you are using VS to manage your database projects. There may be other third-party tools that can do something similar, but I've not been introduced to any.

new iMac
I think they are computers
I have to confess-there was a time when I was terrified of Apple computers, but now I appreciate them. The iMac DV SE has broadened my digital horizon, thanks to its impressive features and Apple's splendid software. In fact, all of us at the office were impressed by the machine's performance.

Fatman Fabrications IFS Kit - Independence for the IndependentsWritten by Chris Shelton on September 1, 2012 Fatman Fabrications offers an IFS kit for just about anything you can imagine. So whatcha got?
I'm going to clue you in on a little secret. You know that whole "dare to be different" thing we editors preach? Well we could really care less what you build. Ford, Franklin, Frazer, at the heart of the matter it's all the same to us.
What we're really doing when we tell you to build some obscure car is lead you into trouble because when people get in way over their heads they tend to get creative. There really are no rules to lazily fall back on when you're chin deep in a '35 Hupmobile Aero. We want to see what you can do, not what everybody else did. Because we've seen that before. Many times in fact. We take these jobs largely for their entertainment value. And we love to see you squirm, because that's when you do your very best work.
Honest. I swear I am.
But deep down we mean well; like scientists in a lab we really do feel for our test subjects. We know we can't just send you down the rabbit hole without at least a rope. We wouldn't want you to get discouraged after all. You might just go away. Or worse, build another safe car like a Ford or Chevy. And what a shame that would be.
Luckily at least one manufacturer is complicit with our little conspiracy even if it doesn't realize it. Fatman Fabrications offers independent front suspension crossmember kits and frame stubs for applications on beyond Zaporozhets.
Word spread among orphan car owners that Fatman was one of the few shoulders to cry on. Some owners outright sent chassis to have crossmembers fit; others simply sent dimensions. Whatever the case, Fatman made templates from each design so it can reproduce them anytime. Seriously, you could probably learn automotive history simply by reading the catalog: Hupp, Graham, and Lafayette are but three among more than a dozen brands Fatman supports. And that's just brands. Figure at least a few models or year groups for each one of those.
Fatman owes its versatility largely to its crossmember design. Rather than make its crossmembers origami style as others do, it makes them largely from heavy-wall tubing. So Fatman can vary track width simply by altering the tube length. And the crossmember usually meets the frame by way of vertical tubes. Fatman trims them at the angle necessary to meet the frame pitch and welds them to the main crossmember tube at whatever width the frame dictates. As a result of this versatility, Fatman can make crossmembers for applications with track widths at least as narrow as 45-1/2 inches (Ford Anglia and Nash Metropolitan, for example).
What follows is a Fatman crossmember installation on a '33-36 Willys at Marshall Woolery's Thun Field Rod & Custom in Tacoma, Washington. This was an extra-special job: a well-intentioned prior owner fashioned a very clever IFS from Jag parts. It was neat but unfortunately it didn't work properly. The tie rod would hit the lower-arm mount upon full suspension droop and pop its inner joint out of the steering rack. Nate Abbott, Woolery's right-hand man (he has the shop right next to Thun Field) set us in the right direction, so to speak.
One thing bears mention: fit. We take tight tolerances for granted but in the real world old-car frames are seldom very close to spec. The Big Three were fairly good at it; with volume usually comes consistency. But the smaller manufacturers didn't have the benefit of mass scale. As a result, orphan chassis can be pretty sloppy. And economy cars like Willys are even worse. You could alter this car's chassis specs by merely leaning on it.
Fatman Fabrication intentionally leaves the cut lines a little fat for this reason. It figures that the end user is best qualified to match the shape to the specific parts. We certainly experienced the inconsistency of this car's frame shape. The two sides were definitely not mirror images of each other.
We realize that only about 17 of you reading this have such a car. But this story is for anyone who owns or is considering buying an under-supported breed. The process required to install an IFS crossmember in a chassis that doesn't have integral spring pockets is pretty well universal anyway. We want you to understand that it's really not all that difficult to update an oddball car with a modern suspension system.
So yeah, we want to see you squirm a little. Maybe you'll do something different. At the same time, we want to see you succeed.
Honest. We really do.

That last line represents the true axle centerline. He punched the location on several places on each framerail.Abbott raised the car for more working room but realigned the chassis to the ground using a plumb bob on the reference marks.Instructions call for linking the upper arm hats like so. That way they remained aligned at all costs.Instructions also call to mark the upper-arm hat's centerline. As the instructions note, don't overthink it. Mark the true centerline not the tangent.Fatman trims the hat's inner edge for each application. That edge meets the frame but as the marker shows the hat's side prevents it from laying flush.Make that edge sit flush by trimming the hat's side. This way the hat can be trimmed to accommodate frame-width variances.Once trimmed, the hat sits pretty much flush with the frame. We encourage additional grinding for a tighter fit.Naturally the hats must sit level on the frame. Willys frames aren't exactly precise so Abbott took a small whack out of one hat to level everything.
Abbott then tacked the crossmember. Note that the gap is lateral; the frame is actually narrower than spec. He later plated the frame sides.He also tacked in place the upper arm hats. Fatman supplies these gussets to spread the spring load over the entire side of the frame. They too need trimming.Here it is, the entire front crossmember in place, if only tacked there. But the work's not done yet.The Fatman crossmember supports the frame better than Willys' gussets did. They interfered with the steering so Abbott removed them and boxed the framerails.

Hi crp_spaeth,
I am new to extjs. Infact this is my first post in extjs forum
I want to develop two things in an existing tree grid of our product:
1. Single Cell Selection instead of rowselection. Copy it using Ctrl + C,
2. Multi select cells in grid, Paste the copied value using Ctrl + V
I wanted to know whether this is possible and how.
Any links or examples on this will be appreciated
Thanks in advance. Awaiting response

working in ext 3.x ?
Does anyone know if this plugin would work with Extjs 3.x -- and if so - where to get it?
thanks in advance
4 Nov 2010 8:55 AM #24
Hey aagocs,
for shure you could implement it for Extjs 3.0. I would love to do so but the time I was able to spent so much time in such things has long gone...
You can read the first entry of this thread and since its well documented you should be able implement a simmiliar plugin for Extjs 3 without much pain.
Just a small advice: wait for the new Extjs4.0 before you got to do things twice
Best regards Martin
p.s. I you need help with the new implementation feel free to ask!

Evaluating the numbers
Clinical research is becoming increasingly global in nature. Although the United States and Europe still represent the dominant destination for clinical studies, Asia and Latin America also are rising in importance as a location for clinical trials. ClinicalTrials.gov a public registry of clinical-trials information for federally and privately funded trials conducted under investigational new drug applications maintained by US National Institutes of Health, identifies 139,372 registered clinical studies in the US and 182 countries, according to data as of Jan. 25, 2013. US-only sites accounted for 41% of registered studies, and non-US only studies 43%. Six percent of registered studies are in both the US and outside the US, and in 9% of the studies, the location was not specified. The US and Canada combined account for 77,030 studies or 53.3% of the global total registered in ClinicalTrials.gov and Europe accounts for 37,454 or nearly 27%. East Asia (including China, but excluding Japan) has 11,954 studies or 8.6% of the global total, and Southeast and South Asia a combined 5320 registered clinical-trial studies or 3.8% of the global total, according to ClinicalTrials.gov. Mexico, Central America, and South America collectively have 8332 or 6.0% of the global number of registered clinical studies.

Cardinal Dolan's & Pope Benedicts messages to President Obama.
At the USCCB:
Dear President Obama,In my capacity as President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, I write to express my congratulations on your re-election as President of the United States.The people of our country have again entrusted you with a great responsibility.The Catholic Bishops of the United States offer our prayers that God will give you strength and wisdom to meet the difficult challenges that face America.In particular, we pray that you will exercise your office to pursue the common good, especially in care of the most vulnerable among us, including the unborn, the poor, and the immigrant.We will continue to stand in defense of life, marriage, and our first, most cherished liberty, religious freedom.We pray, too, that you will help restore a sense of civility to the public order, so our public conversations may be imbued with respect and charity toward everyone.May God bless you and Vice President Biden as you prepare for your second term in service to our country and its citizens.Sincerely yours,Timothy Cardinal DolanArchbishop of New YorkPresidentUnited States Conference of Catholic Bishops
And Pope Benedict XVI's:
Benedict XVI, through the apostolic nunciature in Washington, U.S.A., has sent a message to Barack Obama, congratulating him on his re-election as president of the United States of America.In his message the Holy Father expresses his best wishes to the president on his new mandate, and gives assurances of his prayers to God to help him carry out his serious responsibilities, both in his own country and within the international community. The Pope also speaks of his hope that the ideals of freedom and justice, which guided the founding fathers of the Unites States of America, may continue to shine out as the nation progresses.Holy See Press Office Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. also made a brief comment on the re-election of President Obama. "As we all know", he said, "the U.S. president has an immense responsibility, not only in his own country but also towards the rest of the world, given the role the U.S.A. plays at an international level"."For this reason we hope that President Obama will respond to his fellow citizens' expectations, serving law and justice for the good and development of all people, and respecting essential human and spiritual values while promoting a culture of life and religious freedom".

The link to the Pope's message doesn't work.
Apparently the Vatican hasn't made public the full text, but a bit of it is up on NCR site:http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/benedict-xvi-congratulates-obama
"We pray, too, that you will help restore a sense of civility to the public order, so our public conversations may be imbued with respect and charity toward everyone." That's rich.From McCarraher:Its worth noting that Bishop Jenky left the church that day unmolestedno police or National Guardsmen burst in to cart him off to Guantnamo. No churches have been invaded, locked, or razed; no priest has been forced to bless same-sex unions, nor have Catholic hospitals been compelled to perform abortions, or even to dispense a single condom. The only inconvenience Jenky has sufferedprotected by a First Amendment that has yet to be suspended by executive orderis ridicule.And not enough of it. Far from pointing out the absurdity of comparing Obama to Attila, Hitler, and Stalin, other prominent Catholics have piled on. Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco has warned of Obamas impending despotism. Cardinal Francis George of Chicago has equated our Constitutions guarantee of freedom of worship with that of the former Soviet Union. Others have compared the mandate to the persecution of priests in Mexico in the 1920s under left-wing general Plutarco Calles. The Evangelical author Eric Metaxaswhose fine biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer indicates that he ought to know betterinvoked the rise of the Nazis. Speaking at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, both encapsulated and stirred up the prevailing hysteria in asserting that never in the life of anyone present here has the religious liberty of the American people been threatened as it is today.
I don't know why Vatican Information Service moved the pope's message, but I've added the updated link.
The link you provide goes to something called "catchable fatal error," which I think is way too harsh a description of a papal message.
"We pray, too, that you will help restore a sense of civility to the public order, so our public conversations may be imbued with respect and charity toward everyone."1. President Obama manages to be charitable and respectful, even when his partners in public conversation completely lose their cool. His gentlemanly behavior is a model of civility. 2. Isn't it unseemly for the Bishops to couch personal criticism toward him in the form of a public prayer, especially when their own record on this point does not bear scrutiny?
Well its nice the Cardinal sent such warm congratulations.
I think those messages are called the "required political pucker-up!"
Cardinal Dolan's letter is insulting, and, as Susan Gannon has pointed out, it greatly offends by couching its directive tone in the form of petition to God. Catholics who voted for President Obama and Catholics who did not should be embarrassed by this gauche and inept message of "congratulations." Is this the work of USCCB staff or of the Cardinal himself? Either way, it seems to me very ill-considered.Cardinal James Gibbons must be rolling in his grave.
I am far from offended by anthing gauche from any ecclesiastical bureaucrat. It is expected behavior from those who should know better ... but obviously don't.Today is a day for Humble Pie to be served at certain bishops' dinner tables throughout the US.
"For this reason we hope that President Obama will respond to his fellow citizens expectations, serving law and justice for the good and development of all people..."It would be nice, if this year alone, we had no bishops convicted of drunk driving. I know I'm expecting a lot of my episcopal fellow citizens, but let's start there. Just no drunk driving convisitons would be a good start. Surely, all Catholcis can agree with this: We call upon our bishops to live up to our (their fellow citizens) expectations by not being convicted of any crimes this year. We pray to You, God.
Susan,Are you also beginning the canonization process for Obama? Before you do, you might want to recall that this "model of civility" went to a fundraising dinner shortly after learning that an American ambassador, his ambassador, had just been murdered, something that hadn't happen for 32 years. Some model of civility.
Little Stone- You, on the other hand, seem rather eager to demonize our President. I think it would be more productive if our Bishops, and we ourselves, prayed that we Catholics ourselves learn to show charity and respect in our public discourse. If we can learn to do that ourselves, we can then teach by example.

(ROLLA, Mo.)-Columbia College-Rolla will host a Community Appreciation Day Picnic from noon - 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26 at the Columbia College-Rolla campus, located at 2303 North Bishop/Hwy. 63, Rolla. The event is free and open to the public.
The picnic is sponsored by the following Columbia College-Rolla organizations: Student Senate, Alpha Sigma Lambda national honor society and the alumni chapter. The event will feature food, games and activities for all ages, including a duck pond, cakewalk, face painting and a dunking booth.
"We are grateful for the support we receive from the Rolla community," said Leasa Richards-Mealy, Columbia College-Rolla director. "The picnic is a way for our students, faculty and staff to show their appreciation."
As part of the event, a ceremony will be held to dedicate the new flagpole outside the campus. The flagpole was donated by the family of Frieda Hawks, a Columbia College-Rolla alumna and former employee.

How do you define old ?? Peter Pan is of 1953. It is old enough too.
Another point :
If I say choose the odd one out between You, Your Mother, and Your Grandpa; would answer me "Grandpa" because he is oldest ??
No, the answer should be Mother as she is female. (assuming you are male)
So, my point is old one does need to be the old one out.
@ priyad
I think the answer will be PETER PAN because all others are animated.

Hi all,
It's another of those "my first panos" posts But like many I feel like it's a real achievement, and like many I've spent many hours editing and processing the photos into a high quality 360x180 degree panos (though I feel it's more like a 360x360?). I have posted 4 panos onto this website:
They include the view from a big hill in Santiago, Chile; the town square in Bariloche, Argentina; the Torres camp ground in Torres Del Paine, Patagonia, Chile; and the lookout/mirador in Punta Arenas, Chile, one of the most southern Chilean cities.
This website allows you to upload a high resolution picture (mine are 85 MP 13000x6500) and they have a very clever processing which scales it down to smaller a tiles and loads more detailed views on demand as people view your pictures. You can also tag the location and heading of the pictures, and they get added automatically to a layer on google earth. It's free for them to host your pictures, though you have to upload a minimum of 4 panos and have them reviewed before you can post to the web. Also they will actively promote your panos and give you something like 50% of the license fee if they are successful in selling them.
As I said, these are my first 360 panos and I'm happy to accept any feedback/critique if anyone has any. I'm pretty happy with the way I've managed to insert a clean nadir picture for most of the shots (Bariloche is the exception). Also I know the Punta Arenas shot suffers from chromatic aberation (I tried to clean this up in the raw processing for the other shots). I was surprised how much post processing I needed to do after the stitching to clean up any seams, and fix any people that had moved between shots (e.g only 1/2 a person appearing in the shot).
In terms of technical details I used a Canon 40D with 10-22 at 10mm with a sequence of Zenith, 8 pictures at +30, 8 pictures at -30 and a number of Nadirs from tripod and 1 handheld. Post processing in Canon DPP for RAW processing and PTGui 8 for stitching.
Hope you like them,

Northeast begins digging out after storm blankets states with 1 to 3 feet of snow
Jessica Hill, Associated Press
BOSTON — A howling storm across the Northeast left the New York-to-Boston corridor shrouded in 1 to 3 feet of snow Saturday, stranding motorists on highways overnight and piling up drifts so high that some homeowners couldn't get their doors open. More than 650,000 homes and businesses were left without electricity.
At least three deaths in the U.S. were blamed on the wind-whipped snowstorm, including that of a New York man killed when the tractor he was using to plow his driveway ran off the edge of the road.
More than 38 inches of snow fell in Milford, Conn., and an 82 mph gust was recorded in nearby Westport. Areas of southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire got at least 2 feet of snow, with more falling. Portland, Maine, received 29.3 inches, breaking the record set in 1979.
Roads in many places were impassable. Across much of New England, snowed-over cars looked like white blobs. Streets were mostly deserted save for snowplow crews and a few hardy souls walking dogs or venturing out to take pictures. In Boston's Financial District, the only sound was an army of snowblowers clearing sidewalks.
The digging-out went more smoothly in some places than in others.
A little more than 11 inches fell in New York, but the city "dodged a bullet" and was "in great shape," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, predicting streets would be cleared by the end of the day. The New York region's three major airports — LaGuardia, Kennedy and Newark, N.J. — were up and running again by late morning after shutting down the evening before.
But hundreds of motorists abandoned their vehicles on New York's Long Island, which got 2½ feet of snow, and even snowplows were getting stuck. Emergency workers used snowmobiles to try to reach stranded motorists, some of whom spent the night in their cars.
Richard Ebbrecht, a chiropractor, left his office in Brooklyn at 3 p.m. on Friday and head for his home in Middle Island, N.Y., but got stuck six or seven times on the Long Island Expressway and other roads.
"There was a bunch of us Long Islanders. We were all helping each other, shoveling, pushing," he said. He finally gave up and settled in for the night in his car just two miles from his destination. At 8 a.m., when it was light out, he walked home.
"I could run my car and keep the heat on and listen to the radio a little bit," he said. "It was very icy under my car. That's why my car is still there."
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut closed roads to all but essential traffic.
The Interstate 95 corridor from the New York metropolitan area to Boston, with a population of roughly 25 million, appeared to take the brunt of the storm. One of hardest-hit places was Connecticut, where even emergency responders found themselves stuck on highways all night. In Fairfield, police and firefighters could not come in to work, so the overnight shift stayed on.
Several state police cars were also stuck in deep snow in Maine, where stranded drivers were warned to expect long waits for tow trucks.
Nearly 22 inches of snow fell in Boston and more was expected, closing in on the 2003 record of 27.6 inches. The archdiocese in the heavily Roman Catholic city reminded parishioners that under church law, the requirement to attend Sunday Mass "does not apply when there is grave difficulty in fulfilling this obligation." Logan Airport was not expected to resume operations until late Saturday night.
Flooding fears along the Massachusetts coast led to the evacuation of two neighborhoods in Quincy, south of Boston, and of 20 to 30 people in oceanfront homes in Salisbury.
But around the New York metropolitan area, many victims of Superstorm Sandy were mercifully spared another round of flooding, property damage and power failures.

As relates to an answer to a previous question, I'd like to unmount a built-in hard drive every time I boot up. (Or alternately arrange for it not to be mounted). How do I do this?
The following Hint on Mac OS X Hints details a way to do this. Basically you'll create (or modify) the file
The actual UUID will vary, you can find the UUID for your disk in
Use a LaunchAgent (see Lingon) that runs at boot to unmount. If it runs too quickly, add a wait/pause/sleep. The action that unmounts can be in whatever you preferred scripting/automation language is (bash (hdiutil), Automator, AppleScript, etc.)

I may be embarking on a project involving a fairly extensive healthcare records data set, looking for the use of a particular type of drug (for example, "Proton Pump Inhibitors"). But these drugs are usually listed by their trade or generic names - is there a well maintained resource for looking up what drugs are members of a certain class (if class is indeed the right word)?
migrated from healthcareit.stackexchange.com Apr 27 '12 at 22:48
The WHO has their own methodology, the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC, thank you commenter) classification system, for organizing such data (its impetus is comparing results between studies).
Also, if you have $900 sitting around, you can get a subscription for the United States Pharmacopeia. I'm not sure if that can be spread across multiple subscriptions for an organization like the Red Book David mentions.
Comprehensive, up-to-date drug information including trade names and categories are available from Micromedex® (a division of Thomson Reuters) in the RED BOOK.
It's free to use anywhere (even on a mobile device) by anyone in your organization ... after you pay the subscription fee. The fee for research is much less than the fee for commercial use.

Suppose that a vector $x$ is given. We want to find out the total number of possible ways to form a matrix $A$ so that $Ax = Ix$ where $I$ is $n \times n$ identity matrix and $A$ is some $n \times n$ matrix.
Consider a diagonal matrix $D =\text{diag} \left( 1, d_1, \ldots, d_{n - 1} \right)$ and a matrix $P = \left( x, p_1, \ldots, p_{n-1} \right)$ such that its columns are linearly independent. Then, all matrices $A = PDP^{- 1}$ are possible candidates.
The equation $Ax=x$ (or $Ax-x=0$) is a homogeneous system of linear equations with $n^2$ unknowns. (Unknowns are the entries of the matrix $A$.)
The number of linearly independent equations is the length of vector $x$, i.e., it is $n$. (To see that the equations obtained from two different entries of the vector $x$ are independent, it suffices to notice that they contain unknowns from two different rows of the matrix $A$.)
The the dimension of solution set is $n^2-n$.
The only exception is if $x=0$, then all equations are of the form $0=0$ and any matrix fulfills these equations.
If $x=0$, then any $A$ will do.
Otherwise, let $U$ be a complement of $\langle x\rangle$ in $F^n$, that is $F^n=\langle x\rangle \oplus U$. Then if $f\colon U\to F^n$ is any endomorphism, $(x,u)\mapsto x+f(u)$ is an endomorphism of $F^n$ sending $x\mapsto x$ as desired. Thus we see that the space of such matrices is $n\cdot(n-1)$-dimensional.
There are infinitely many ways of doing this, if $n>1$. Just complete $x$ to a basis of the vector space (this assumes $x\neq 0$, but for $x=0$ every matrix will do), letting $P$ be the matrix with the coordinates of those vectors as columns; now take any matrix $M$ with $(1,0,0,\ldots,0)$ down the first column and arbitrary entries elsewhere, and apply base change: $A=PMP^{-1}$ will do the trick. You can check that applying $PMP^{-1}$ to $x$ the first factor $P^{-1}$ will change $x$ to the column vector $(1,0,0,\ldots,0)$, then $M$ will leave that vector in place by the way it was constructed, and finally $P$ will map the vector back to $x$, so $Ax=x=Ix$.

Travel into inner Papua can be relaxing when commenced with a visit to Lake Sentani, a scenic beauty over glittering water located near Jayapura, capital city of Papua. The stillness of the water is most peaceful, evoking a peculiar wonder whether such a lake should indeed exist in paradise. The embracing Cyclops Mountains to the north and the lush vegetation as backdrop, securely protect the twenty four villages surrounding the lake. The people here are friendly and creative, carving their reputation among the best craft makers in the land of Papua.
To best experience the excitement of boating on the lake, rent a motorized canoe available at one of the villages. The guide who has taken you on the overnight tour from Jayapura will show you where to get one of the dugout canoes. Experience the thrill of being caressed by the warm breeze while speeding on the lake, photograph the stilt houses, know the local, and make friends with your guide, and eventually boldly brag about it in the travel blogs.
Lake Sentani and its surrounding areas was once the training field for amphibious aircraft landings. It was built by the Japanese and taken over by the US Army in 1944. American war legend, General McArthur was said to have gazed on the lake and its 22 islets, and came up with his victorious island-hopping strategy.
Living as fish farmers, and the close location to the provincial capital, are reasons why most of the population around the lake are open to visitors. Stilt houses with ponds and nets are common landscapes. The lake is home to at least 33 species of fish, of which almost half of them are native. The Sawfish (Pristis microdon) was once the premier host of the lake, which today is said to have become extinct. This fish is one of the indigenous ornaments found on Sentani's woodcrafts. Hang one of these items on your wall as a mark that you have been dramatically introduced to the wilderness of Papua.
Lake Sentai is about 30 minute driving westward from the city of Jayapura. All flights land and take off from Sentani Airport, located around 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Jayapura. As a capital city of a vast province, Jayapura is well connected to many large cities in Indonesia by air and by sea. Large airline offices are in this city. It is advisable to always check and double-check your flight as there is a tendency to overbook seats at times.
Outside the airport, minibuses wait for passengers to drive to Jayapura. The price can change variably. Make sure you agree on the price before boarding.
Garuda Indonesia flies to Biak, Makassar, Surabaya, and Jakarta daily. On selected days the airline also flies to Sorong, Manado, Denpasar-Bali, and Ambon.
Merpati Airlines Office representative is located next to the Hotel Matoa, Jayapura. Merpati flies daily to Wamena at 7 am. The airline also flies to several cities in Papua and other cities in Indonesia on selected days.

If a polyhedron is homeomorphic to a simplex, is it piecewise-linear homeomorphic? In particular, is this true in $R^{4}$? In 2 and 3 dimensions any two polyhedra that are homeomorphic are PL-homeomorphic, by theorems of Rado and Moise. In dimension $\geq 5$, this is a trivial special case of theorem 1.1 in M.A. Armstrong "The Hauptvermutung According to Lashof and Rothenberg" in The Hauptvermutung Book. But I have not found a statement that covers it for dimension 4; and I am not confident that dimension 4 can easily be reduced to dimension 5.
Also, if anyone can suggest a reference for this particular case that does not go through these very high-powered, difficult, general theorems, I would be interested on stylistic grounds.

For simplicities sake (the actually problem is more complex)...Let say I have a set of n 3d points, whose position move over time. For all pairs, I have calculated the mean and standard deviation of the euclidean distance between them.
I would like an error metric which incorporates the following two properties and I can use to "score" each pair in an attempt to find the "best".
1) Pairs of points which on average over time are "close" to one another are preferred i.e small mean -> low error
2) Pairs of points whose distance between them over time varies little i.e small standard deviation -> low error
And I am not sure of the mathematically correct way of combining these two properties.
Any help much appreciated.

Backwater from the Little Wabash River has been creeping up in its customary spot near Eckerle Park over the past few days. The water moved over the road that leads behind the baseball field on Wednesday and continues to rise.
At the 8 a.m. reading today, the river was at 26.29 feet, just under flood stage of 27 feet. The river is expected to continue to rise due to heavy rains north of the area. The river should crest around 30.3 feet on Sunday, reaching minor flooding stage.
The Wabash River at New Harmony was recorded at 18.15 feet this morning, already in the minor flooding stage. It is expected to continue to rise to 20.9 feet, moving well into the moderate flooding stage by this weekend.

The FTSE Cürex FX Index Series provides the next generation of FX valuation and performance benchmarking for global capital markets. By establishing real-time bid and offer spot FX indices on 192 currency pairs (FTSE Cürex FIX), from multiple independent contributors and at multiple depths of liquidity, global capital markets benefit from improved clarity when viewing previously opaque foreign exchange pricing. William Dale, chairman and chief executive at Cürex Group explains that the new index series "represents a step forward in the evolution of the global foreign exchange marketplace [and] enables … both buy side and sell side leaders seeking to provide more competitive products and liquidity to the world's capital markets."
New executable benchmark currency baskets include the flagship FTSE Cürex USD/G8 Index, an equally weighted, real-time index designed to provide an improved valuation of the US Dollar. The index consists of seven major currencies representative of global finance and commodity trading, plus the Chinese Renminbi—the most important emerging Asian reserve currency. These new benchmark FX Indices also can be used to measure the performance of active currency strategies, and provide new tools for investors seeking to express a 'risk on/risk off' trade.
New proprietary and patented technologies have been developed by Cürex Group specifically to connect previously fragmented foreign exchange market liquidity with investment products linked to FTSE Cürex FX Indices. These technologies, say FTSE Group, allow asset managers and their service providers to build custom FX Indices from proprietary or third party asset pricing models for both analytic and product development purposes. Cürex Intellectual Property will enable a new generation of both exchange-traded and OTC financial products that are linked to FTSE Cürex FX Indices and utilise Cürex technologies designed to directly link institutional foreign exchange liquidity to financial products tracking FTSE Cürex FX Indices. This new capability will allow passive asset managers to reduce tracking error and liquidity providers such as Delta One desks to improve their hedging and risk management practices.
Benchmark Execution (BE) and Benchmark or Better Execution (BOBE) models can now be employed by third-party electronic and voice brokering FX platforms via principal transactions or STP to the FTSE Cürex FX Index liquidity pool. These new benchmark FX Indices also can be used to measure relative performance of active currency overlay strategies. Investors seeking to express a 'risk on / risk off' trade can alsouse these indices to implement this trade.

Paramount // 1967 // 100 Minutes // Not Rated
Reviewed by Judge Norman Short (Retired) // September 26th, 2000
Space: The final frontier.
Two more episodes from the Star Trek original series, which aired from 1966-69, are now available from Paramount on DVD with digital remasters of both picture and sound. The episodes in this volume are "Metamorphosis," which aired November 10, 1967, and "Friday's Child," which aired December 1, 1967. Both episodes are not in the order in which they were aired, but rather in order of Production Codes. In fact, right after the last episode in Volume 15, the episode "I, Mudd" aired (coming in Volume 21); and between these two episodes on Volume 16 aired "Journey to Babel" (coming in Volume 22). Both of these episodes were from the second season, airing Friday nights on NBC.
While some aspects of the video are not quite up to par with some of the others, they still stand up well for fans of the series.
In "Metamorphosis," the shuttlecraft Galileo is on an emergency trip back to the Enterprise. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are bringing the nastily complaining Federation Commissioner Nancy Hedford (played by Elinor Donahue) from Epsilon Caneris 3 because she has caught the rare Sicuro's Disease and needs treatment. Unfortunately a cloud of charged hydrogen gas somehow overwhelms the shuttle and carries it off to a planetoid, which fortunately with a breathable atmosphere. (Seems like everywhere has breathable air, doesn't it?) On the planetoid they find a man who calls himself Cochrane, who in fact turns out to be Zefram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri, the discoverer of the Warp Drive. Thought to have been dead for 150 years, Cochrane has been kept alive and young for centuries by a doting gaseous alien he calls the "Companion." Apparently Cochrane, at the age of 87, had gone out on a ship to die in space, had been intercepted by the Companion, and brought here and made young again. Here he has lived without aging ever since, and the others have been brought here to keep him company. As such, the Companion prevents their leaving, despite the fact that Ms. Hedford will die without treatment.
Ultimately Kirk first tries force, then diplomacy, to enable their escape, and finds that the Companion is female (though gaseous) and truly loves Cochrane. Or can she truly love without being human?
In "Friday's Child," the Enterprise is sent to Capella IV to secure a mining agreement for the rare mineral topaline, which is required for life support systems. The inhabitants have a warrior based society where only the strong deserve to survive, and have intricate and obscure customs that must be adhered to or face mortal combat. McCoy spent several months there in the past and acts as the cultural advisor to keep Kirk out of trouble. Unfortunately the Klingons have arrived first, and are offering weapons and other items for trade that the Federation can't match due to their Prime Directive. Still, things look well for the Federation in the negotiations until Kirk breaks a taboo to save the life of a pregnant woman who would have been killed. Now they must escape to the mountains and hope for rescue from the Enterprise.
The Enterprise is not there to assist however, as they are away from the planet trying to answer a distress call from freighters being attacked by Klingon vessels. The freighters are nowhere to be found, and it seems the Klingons may have led them into a trap.
Call me Trekker. Well, a reformed one anyway. I still watch the shows and films, but I don't try to gain any encyclopedic knowledge about them. I've always been a sponge for useless information though (you should see me in Trivial Pursuit) and know quite a bit about the original series. So lets start again with fun facts about these episodes.
In "Metamorphosis" it is established that Zefram Cochrane is lost and presumed dead after the age of 87. In First Contact the crew of the new Enterprise know nothing of this (not to mention an entirely different take on the character is used).
In "Friday's Child," it is established that two communicators can be used to set up a signal that causes avalanches. Handy, since the crew never seems to have their phasers long. The Klingon ship is shown as a glowing yellow and green shape on the viewscreen, nothing at all like their ships are depicted later in the series and in every subsequent film and series. For that matter, in all episodes of the original series, Klingons are portrayed as swarthy looking humans wearing black clothing. Since then Klingons have always been portrayed as larger, with protruding ridges on their foreheads, and wearing battle armor. One episode of "The Next Generation" makes a note of this when Worf says that they are indeed Klingons but he can't talk about it. The novels give some explanation of this, claiming that the Klingons that everyone saw in the original series were Klingon/human hybrids bred for being the face of the species for outside contact.
Perhaps most interesting, this episode is one of several where Dr. McCoy uses his famous line "I'm a doctor, not a..." Here it is "I'm a doctor, not an escalator."
One other interesting factoid from the series itself: At the end of the first season, Nichelle Nichols, who played Communication Officer Uhura, was going to quit the show but relented when asked to stay by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Since she's made a career out of the role ever since, I think she must be happy with the decision, especially since she represented a black woman on a major television series.
Again, these episodes were not among the ten best voted on in a poll by the Sci-Fi Channel. Each is interesting in its own way, though I think "Friday's Child" was more fun. "Metamorphosis" suffered from the annoying female character, though I admit that Elinor Donahue managed to provide some depth to her in the end.
When the Sci-Fi Channel bought the rights to air the original series, each episode was digitally remastered, and these are the transfers that we get on DVD. Certainly they look brighter and more detailed than they did on local stations in syndication. Colors are nice and bright here, but I found both these episodes to be grainier throughout, and some scenes in "Friday's Child" had numerous nicks and scratches visible as well. So I can't rate them as high as I did the video quality of Volume 15.
The soundtracks have been remastered as well into Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. They remain true to their mono nature, and even more so with this volume. Even in a scene where the "Red Alert" sirens were wailing, there was nothing coming from the surrounds. Only the musical score left the center channel at all, and was confined to the left and right front channels. Still, the sound quality was fine; clear with a low noise floor.
There have been complaints about these discs and the way they've been presented and marketed by Paramount. The only extras are preview trailers for each episode on the disc, which is a shame. There are websites full of information on the series; more than you could read in a week. The other complaint has been the decision to only release these with two episodes per disc, and only two volumes at a time. This means it will take a long time to finish buying the series, and it will take 40 discs to take up space on your shelf if you want to own them all. Those are my main complaints as well.
I don't want to keep knocking the original series. Yes, they are quaint in their stories sometimes, and there are often fight scenes that don't look realistic, not to mention some special effects done on a nearly non-existent budget. But the show pioneered something that transcends the show itself, and made some real strides such as having a multi-racial cast and even having a Russian working with and being part of the democratically inclined Federation. Among the strides made was presenting the first inter-racial kiss on television. I still have a fond affection for the series, as do legions of fans.
Completists will probably buy this disc, and I wouldn't disagree with them. The quality of this one, between the episodes and the picture quality, aren't quite up with the best of them, and if you are only looking for the best of the discs this wouldn't be one of them. Still worth a purchase or a rental in my book.
Both the series and Paramount are acquitted, though I urge better treatment for the "Next Generation" series, with four episodes per disc and season box sets. You bet I'll buy those.

Ausone: JJ Buckley and the Last Crusade
Post by Neil Mechanic | April 8th, 2011
For many, Saint Emilion (and the neighboring village of Pomerol) is the "Holy Grail" for merlot and cabernet franc, as there is nowhere else these two varietals reach such levels of greatness. Saint Émilion sits on the right bank of the Dordogne River and is dotted with Romanesque churches and ruins stretching along the narrow cobblestone streets. Walking through the village, the Romans' involvement is evident in the architecture and the limestone terraced vineyards that dot the landscape.
Thus, our visit to Château Ausone, one of two grand cru classé estates, was more than just a tasting…it was a historical and, dare I say, holy experience! In fact, the estate's chapel (Chapelle de la Madeleine) and its underground rotunda are dedicated to Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' most infamous disciples. With so much to see, it was like being in a museum that just happens to make one of the greatest wines in the world! (more…)

Is APK an abbreviation for Android Package Kit? What about the file itself? Is it an archive such as ZIP where during install the installer extracts and copies the files onto the file system?
APK files are a variant of the JAR file format, which are built on the ZIP file format, with a .apk file extension.
APK (Android Package) file is a file format which is created by Google. This format is one of the group members of Executable Files (similar to EXE, MST, AIR).

text: I don't know if it's true, but folks have been requesting a lesson on a Pokemon figure that some say isn't even real. Nonetheless, here is "how to draw Mega Mewtwo", and it looks like he resembles the rest of his base forms. I would really appreciate if someone could let me know if this is in fact a real creation from the creators of Pokemon. Even if Mega Mewtwo isn't real, he was still very cool to recreate. On that note, have fun drawing Mega Mewtwo people, I'm sure you will have a blast. Peace out, and adios.

I am interested in reading about the worst economic crisis of all times. By that I mean the largest reduction in GDP over a period of at least a year. The economic crisis should not have been caused by war nor natural catastrophe, but events that could arise arise in a stable society today, like a financial crisis, economic mismanagement or similar.
The Economist illustrated the History of World GDP by way of the intriguing graphic below.
The mismanagement of the Chinese Qing empire between the years of 1820 and 1913 is plain to see. Similarly, assuming that colonialism satisfies the OP's criteria, the difference in percentage GDP of (British) India between 1700 and 1940 is simply astounding.
Up front, imho GDP and "like a year" is not really suited for objective comparing of historic economic crises, which run on time scales of at least several years or a decade, smaller time scales are better called economic fluctuations. Comparing economic crises in different historical epochs, national and world-wide ones, by proportional (%) GDP reduction might turn out a bit tricky, due to incomplete data and different assessment basis.
But anyway, regarding economical, poltical mismanagment or faulty construction of economic system by pure better-known numbers, the biggest economic crisis was the Great Depression
Austrian economist Kurt Richebacher states in a economic analysis of the Great Depression (the whole article is worth reading):
"Smaller/national" examples in 20th century would be:
For crises before 20th century a look on these examples might be interesting:
The Great Depression of 1929-1933 showed a fall in real GDP in the United States of 38.1% according to this source. This was probably the greatest fall in real GDP in the independent history of the US, although the Panics of 1796 and 1819 could have been larger.
Beyond the US, Britain's biggest recession was the 25% fall following the end of the First World War, which exceeded the 5.8% fall experienced there in the Great Depression.
Some areas of the former Soviet Union experienced a 45% fall in GDP after the transition from planned and globally integrated economies to isolated and market oriented economies.
Going further back, the Great Depression of the 14th century in Europe led to a fall of up to 40% in some countries.
I would say that the worst economic crisis was the Great Depression of the 1930s because it was global. Individual countries had worse experiences, but these were individual experiences, not worldwide.
Other answers discuss the economic specifics in greater detail but here were some of the political results: 1) The rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany. 2) The concurrent "hobbling" of European economies that prevented them from rearming to resist Hitler (Germany followed a "Keynesian" policy whereby re-arming actually "pump-primed" its economy but few people understood that at the time) 3) Other "have not" nations like Italy and Japan "ganged up" with Hitler's Germany against the rest of the world (these were actually rich nations that were "have not" only in comparison to the United States or Great Britain).
The reason I say that the 1930s economic crisis was the worst of all time was because it led to World War II. It actually arose out of the seemingly "stable" environment of the 1920s. There is at least one economic writer who believes that we've seen the modern 1920s, and are headed for the modern 1930s. http://www.financialsensearchive.com/editorials/au/2006/0509.html
One of the hardest was possibly the crisis in Russia due to introduction of Capitalism, the breakup of the USSR in 1991 and pro-American policy of the Yeltsin's government.
This is the drop of GDP per captia:
This is graphic depicting the drop in industrial output in Russian Federation (blue) and Moscow (red), in per cents to the level of 1991:
