About Extension Water Resources
Minnesotans have always relied on the state's natural resources for economic growth, sustenance, beauty, and recreation. Recent years have seen growing concerns about our lakes and rivers and maintaining these resources for the future.
University of Minnesota Extension's strategy for addressing water resource issues takes into account diverse views and multiple land uses by drawing on our expertise in agriculture, natural resources, and citizen leadership.
Working with local communities, Extension employs a balanced, research-based, solution-focused approach, providing a trusted source of accurate information. The goal is to coordinate diverse interest groups, engage citizens in watershed planning and education, and provide evaluation expertise and technical expertise in areas of safe drinking water, aquatic invasive species, drainage, water valuation, nutrient management, and program evaluation.
The water resources team produces publications and videos; teaches workshops for citizens, governments, and design professionals; and works side-by-side with local groups on water quality improvement projects.
You will find expertise and collaborative support for watershed and water basin resources, stormwater education, shoreland education, and sewage treatment education for homeowners, communities, and professionals.
Examples of projects we've completed include using waste blast rock from tunnel construction to stabilize the shoreline of Lake Superior, teaching communities how to construct rain gardens, and working with Wadena County to develop a sustainable action plan to address water quality concerns in Stocking Lake.
You can join our efforts to bring scientific solutions to challenges like sustaining biodiversity, meeting energy demands, and fostering effective land use decisions by donating to Extension's environment programs.

To the editor:
In April, in an address to Planned Parenthood, President Barack Obama reiterated his lifelong commitment to the destruction of that which we should most cherish, our progeny. One can surmise from his unprecedented presence at this gathering and the content of his remarks that there will be no forthcoming accommodation to those who, following the Decalogue, believe this to be a grave sin, only a forced assimilation into a secular ideology.
In its beginning, abortion had its birth in the arrogance of the rich and the pride of the powerful. These founders, as confessed in Margaret Sanger's writing, believed they could eradicate certain elements of the population as unfit. By his confession in his own book, Obama looks on birth not as a miracle, but as a punishment. In his address, he continually referred to "women's health issues," the new euphemism for abortion, but gave not one thought to infants' health issues. Currently, this segment of the population has less right to life than a laboratory animal.
Proving Cardinal Francis Spellman's maxim that "some interpretations of liberty have unjustly encroached on the liberty of others" and in an effort to expand his imperial domination concerning the power over life and death of the innocent, Obama's reign has commanded that through a bureaucratic mandate, that everyone must materially cooperate in the slaughter of those yet unborn. A well-developed conscience has no protection under this mandate, no matter whether or not one finds this unacceptable barbarism.
Many of us hold that "the almighty, desiring to lead us to perfection and improve our state socially, has revealed to us laws which are to regulate our action." (Maimonides: "The Guide for the Perplexed.") This includes a law which says, "Thou shall not murder."
I pray those who believe in the sanctity of life stand firm to protect the innocent, pre-born lambs from the wolves prowling the corridors of power in this nation's capital. To do otherwise is the appeasement of evil.
In this quandary between obediences to the law of God or secular power, we yet have an example of the effectiveness of passive non-compliance through two of the great men of the last century, Ghandi and King.

According to Genesis 49:10, when Yaakov was at his deathbed, he called in his sons and desired to bless them. At Judah's turn, his father said that the scepter should not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh should come; and to him should the gathering of the people be. What is the meaning of Shiloh here in this prophecy?

Rash"i, agreeing with אונקלוס, says it refers to משיח.
A sampling of other explanations
Then there are the various detailed explanations that do refer שילה to Moshiach (as WAF noted), on various grounds. (According to all of them, the prophecy means not that Moshiach's kingship will mark the end of Yehudah's primacy, but on the contrary - that this will be its climax.)
Besides the other answers given here, I would add the following (which I develop at greater length here):
The ketiv of the word is שילה, Sheilah, who was Yehuda's youngest son. The entire pasuk is a coded reference to the incident with Yehuda and Tamar. Recall that he gave Tamar his staff, his signet ring, and his identifying cord, as surety for payment. And that this only came about because he held back his youngest, Sheilah.
לֹא-יָסוּר שֵׁבֶט מִיהוּדָה: the staff shall not depart from Yehuda וּמְחֹקֵק: and his engraved signet ring מִבֵּין רַגְלָיו: from between his legs עַד: until he said כִּי-יָבֹא שִׁילֹה: that Sheilah would eventually come.
Note that other parts of Yaakov's blessing are also coded references to incidents of the shevatim. For instance, גּוּר אַרְיֵה יְהוּדָה, מִטֶּרֶף בְּנִי עָלִיתָ as a reference to the sale of Yosef; and כִּי עָלִיתָ מִשְׁכְּבֵי אָבִיךָ; אָז חִלַּלְתָּ, יְצוּעִי עָלָה as Reuven and Bilhah; and כִּי בְאַפָּם הָרְגוּ אִישׁ, וּבִרְצֹנָם עִקְּרוּ-שׁוֹר as a reference to Shimon and Levi wiping out Shechem.
As for the contentions with Christian interpretations of the verse, see here.
Well, since I haven't had the responses I expected, here is my contribution in terms of what I think about the prophecy:
Shiloh - Genesis 49:10
When Jacob thought he was about to die, he invited all his sons unto himself at his deathbed for the last blessings. At the turn of Judah, Jacob said that the scepter would not depart from his Tribe until Shiloh came.
Christians in general assume that's a prophecy about Jesus, and I have researched about the matter, and happened to have found out that's not true.
The Tribe of Judah had grown to become the leader over all the other Tribes, and kept the monopoly to exert hegemony over them all. That's the scepter that would not depart from Judah till Shiloh came.
After the death of Solomon, the Prophet Ahijah from Shiloh took his coat and went out to meet Jeroboam, who was the leader of forced labor among the Northern Tribes. As the Prophet met Jeroboam, he tore his coat in twelve parts and gave ten to Jeroboam, saying that God had decided to split the Tribes in two Kingdoms, and that ten of those Tribes would be governed by Jeroboam. That's when Shiloh came, and Judah lost the hegemony over ten of the Tribes. (I Kings 11:29-32) It's important to understand that Shiloh is not the Prophet who came from his home city called Shiloh, but the split between the Tribes and the secession of the Ten Tribes. That's what Isaiah the Prophet considered the worst thing ever to happen in the History of United Israel until the Ten Tribes were removed from existence. (Isa. 7:17)
Rehoboam, the King who had succeeded Solomon his father did not understand and started preparing the Country for civil war when Shemaiah, the man of God dissuaded him by making him understand that Shiloh had come. He got it and recalled the Army. (I Kings 12:21-24)
Now, kindly share with me your comments.

Until : Tuesday, 30 October 2012 11:00
Event Details
Many companies struggle to achieve high-quality translations largely because they have trouble defining what 'quality' really means and implementing consistent ways to measure it. The costs of translation services are also often misunderstood, many don't know what they are buying when they hire a translation vendor, or worse, they cut translation budgets in ways that virtually guarantee low-quality deliverables.This compelling webinar will help you start improving the quality of your translation deliverables with your next project. Presented by David Sommer, Net-Translators Director of Strategic Operations www.net-translators.com), this session will help you understand the many quality challenges faced by businesses during their translation and localization projects and how to overcome them. You'll learn:
* how to resolve issues of quality awareness within your company
* how to define and reach agreement on quality standards
* methods and tools for establishing and using quality metrics aligned to your industry
* new procedures for handling errors
* what money buys: key steps in translation and localization workflows where cost matters most and has a direct impact on quality
* and much more.

Is there an easy way to draw a contour image of torus below with tikz? Or for that matter with any other graphics package.
One fairly easy, but a bit rough-and-ready, would be to load that picture as the background in Inkscape, then draw over the top an SVG version of it, and finally export it to TikZ using the export-tikz plugin.
Actually, for a simple picture like this one you could do it "by hand" in TikZ: use TikZ to draw on top of the picture, adjust the parameters until it looks right, then remove the background.
Other than that, work out the equation of what you're seeing and code that into TikZ. I thought about doing this when I was trying to draw a torus (see my other answer) and decided that I couldn't be bothered to work out the details so would draw a torus "as it was meant to be" (namely, a product of circles).
Edit: Here's the result, a little tweaked afterwards:

Anthony Phan wrote a 3d extension of Metapost, m3D, which is well suited to such things. As an example, he wrote some code to draw a graph on a Torus (last example):
The downside is that this fork doesn't support nice things like the mptosvg SVG converter, &c, nor the nice Metapost 2 extensions. I seem to recall some discussion of adding 3d support to the mainstream (i.e. Taco Hoekwater stream) Metapost, but I guess that didn't come to anything. But there is some fairly well established 3d drawing support for the regular Metapost language by Dennis Riegel.
I traced the original image to get the critical points. By setting

Along the line of @AndrewStacey, I tried something slightly simpler. Using one ellipse and an two elliptical arcs, translated, I get the (almost) right visual effect, which is not at all accurate:
The code is rather simple and easy to tweak in case one wants to get a better/different visual effect:
I'll see your torus and raise you two more (both SVGs, for PDFs go here and here).

what are the subgroups of $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_{12}$ of order $6$? I know that there are three such subgroups, and two subgroups are clear to me, namely the subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_6$ and the subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_3$. But I can't see the other one. Please help!
You can decompose $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_{12}$ into $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$. Clearly any group of order $6$ will contain $\mathbb{Z}_3$. Where else can you get your $2$ from?
Alternatively, any abelian group of order $6$ is cyclic, so you need to find all the elements of your group of order $6$ and then just realize that two of them generate the same subgroup if and only if they are the same or additive inverses.
Not sure what you mean by "isomorphic to $\mathbb Z_6$". All groups of order $6$ are isomorphic to $\mathbb Z_6$.
Here, the three subgroups of order $6$ are those generated by $(0,2)$, $(1,2)$, and $(1,4)$. Namely, $$ A_1=\{(0,0),(0,2),(0,4),(0,6),(0,8),(0,10)\}, $$ $$ A_2=\{(0,0),(1,2),(0,4),(1,6),(0,8),(1,10)\} $$ $$ A_3=\{(0,0),(1,4),(0,8),(1,0),(0,4),(1,8)\} $$


text: Since there is going to be more and more episodes of Fionna and Cake, I figured I might as well do a tutorial on the two of them like I did with Finn and Jake. My little eight year old sister watched a gender swapped episode on Cartoon Network's website, and she couldn't get enough of it. I think she like Fionna and Cake because they are two girls instead of two boys. She even loved Lord Monochromicorn. She said "did you do the black unicorn"? It was so cute. Anyways, the pose I drew the two in is very cute and feminine. They are both in a very expressive state, and if you take your time you should have a rather simple experience as you learn "how to draw Fionna and Cake". I hate to end this description but I don't want to start rambling on about nothing. Instead I will shut up, and work on my next submission so you guys can get busy. Until I return I bid thee a farewell!

The Pratt High School golf team took 3rd of 7 schools at the Russell Invitational on Thursday, scoring 391. TMP won the event with 340.
Tyler Skaggs shot an 88 to pocket the bronze medal to lead Pratt. Spencer Sullivan had 98 (12th), Navarre Strapp 102 (16th) and Skylar Stalcup 103 (18) to account for Pratt's scoring. Alec Hampton posted 106 (23rd) and Cole Fincham 116 (29th).
In JV action, PHS finished 2nd (468) behind Phillipsburg (452.) Hunter Walker was the JVs top finisher at 102 (4th). Zach Will shot 116 (12th), Ethan Gillig 124 (18th) and Dakota Hankins 126 (19th).
Head coach Andy Kisner thought the team did well on a day in which the blustery winds elevated everyone's score on the always challenging Russell course. "We have improved," Kisner said. "We need to continue that trend."
The Pratt linksters travel next Tuesday to Halstead for a 3 p.m. tee-off.

One of my kids(7 yo) stopped wanting to try riding just as she was ready to do it by herself for some reason; never could get her to explain why. (She had been using a balance bike.)
I ended up getting her a foot bike (footbikeusa) so she could get over whatever fear she had about bikes while still getting balancing practice; after a few months on that she was willing to try a regular bike again and was riding in just a few minutes.
Foot bikes are fun, but not so good up hills! We still have it and use occasionally, though I mainly use it at burning man since it is low maintenance.

The Year Everything Changed
Superfast QBs, College Tricks and Medical Miracles
It's OK to be alarmed. It's OK to feel a bit fiddle-footed about your Sunday plans. As you know, this weekend will be the first one without any real football since August (sorry, Pro Bowl).
That said, it's probably a good opportunity to look back on the NFL season that was. And frankly, this is probably one of the best seasons in a long time to look back upon. While every NFL season brings a few new trends, buries a few others and mints a few new stars, this one brought something far more unusual: It seems to have ushered in an entirely new culture.
Just four months ago, Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins was a controversial prospect whose talents could conceivably not translate to the pros.
Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks was just a short kid destined to be the back-up quarterback to a guy named Matt Flynn. People were able to discuss Tim Tebow's skills with a straight face. We're also fairly certain that Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o believed he had a girlfriend.
Anyhow! The NFL has changed dramatically since August. Here's what we've learned:
This year at the Senior Bowl, a sort of unofficial convention for NFL coaches, there were some curious sights. One of the most curious was Pat White, the former West Virginia star quarterback, best known for his running ability. White was a second-round pick in the 2009 NFL draft but fizzled out at the pro level, where he was seen as an outlier, and a bit of a misfit, during his time with the Miami Dolphins. But after watching this season unfold, his hopes were rekindled.
Five quarterbacks—Wilson, Griffin, Carolina's Cam Newton, Philadelphia's Michael Vick and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick—all averaged over 30 rushing yards per game, which is the most since 1970.
Essentially, NFL offenses are finally molding themselves around running quarterbacks. They're even reaching back into the collegiate bag of tricks to add things like the "pistol" offense (quarterback in the shotgun surrounded by running backs) and the read option (a smorgasbord of trickery featuring fake handoffs). Using the read option, Kaepernick rushed for something like 44,926 yards in the playoffs.
This year, there's been a run on college coaches like Oregon's Chip Kelly (headed to the Eagles) that reflects the league's new obsession with football on Saturdays. Much of this has to do with the success of ex-college coaches like Jim Harbaugh, who has taken San Francisco to the Super Bowl just two years after leaving Stanford.
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said he now runs the Seahawks using the same game day and practice approach he used in the college ranks at USC. "People thought that I was a college guy and it wouldn't work in the NFL," Carroll said. "Even I didn't know if it was going to work or not." It did, of course. The Seahawks, the darlings of the second half of the season, fell just short of making the NFC title game.
All this also reflects a scary fact: College football has replaced the NFL as the most innovative form of football. Almost all of the groundbreaking developments in the NFL this season were familiar to anyone who has watched college football this decade.
"A lot of NFL teams run that up-tempo offense," said Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib after running a hurry-up offense in a Senior Bowl practice overseen by Oakland Raiders coaches on Thursday. "It's getting more like college."
League insiders say that because of the proliferation of the "option" offenses and running quarterbacks, defenses are being forced to change, too. In order to keep up with fast-developing plays, pass rushers are better able to make quick reactions when standing—rather than crouching over in the set position. That means a traditional 4-3 defensive alignment with four fat guys might be a problem.
Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tim Ryan, now an analyst with Fox, said the option game and running quarterbacks leave four-man defensive lines at a significant disadvantage.
"You need to fly off the ball now and a [4-3 lineman] will have his vision clogged and that option is on them by the time the ball is snapped," Ryan said. "That's why some teams will stand up their defensive end. They need a vision point to see exactly what's happening."
Indeed, some of the best linebacker pass rushers—San Francisco's Aldon Smith, Denver's Von Miller and Green Bay's Clay Matthews—all saw action in the playoffs this season.
Not so long ago, a torn triceps was a season-ending injury, a running back with a surgically-repaired knee required at least 12 months recovery, and the only place you'd find a 35-year-old quarterback coming off four neck surgeries on Sunday was the broadcast booth.
But this season, injuries weren't what they used to be. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning shook off his neck brace and passed for more than 4,000 yards, Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson jumped off the operating table and produced the second-highest rushing total in history, and Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis returned to the field just 12 weeks after tearing his triceps.
Why? Surgical advancements and aggressive rehab regimens have helped. Improvements in equipment technology (i.e. that absurdly large arm brace Ray Lewis wears) have helped, too. So have rules limiting aggressive, physical play.

What exactly is a modal dialog window and when should you use it? Are there certain cases where you should refrain from using one?
A modal dialog is a window that forces the user to interact with it before they can go back to using the parent application. A great example of this would be a prompt for saving, or the "open file" dialog.
They are often used when a user is forced to make an important decision. Say you were working on a document in Microsoft Word, and you chose to exit Word before saving. A modal dialog would pop up and ask you to either Save, Don't Save, or Cancel. Until you make your decision you cannot use the application, and it will not close.
I agree with Matt that a file dialog should be a modal dialog.
Modal dialogs should be used when the user takes an action that needs additional information to be completed correctly. The print dialog, is also a good example. Or the 'options' dialogs in loads of programs.
When to use modal dialogs is a bit tricky to define, but to me it should be used sparingly, and avoided whenever possible. Look at Fraser's example of the Facebook image loader... that's not necessary as it can be done asynchronous.
Rule of thumb: whenever additional info is needed to complete an action.
Matt already said what a modal dialog is.
As to when it should be used: The rule of thumb is "When no other action makes sense until the user completes that dialog". Read carefully, it does not talk about what you wish the user to do! Many dialogs in Mac are not modal where their counterparts in Windows are modal. This is not to say that Mac is better, but to say that many dialog designers needlessly force the user to complete an action that the user might want to postpone until she is ready.
Examples: 1) a SSH program requires the password to connect to the server. That may be implemented via a modal dialog, though you could argue that opening the options configuration makes sense whether the user is connected or not. A judgement call really.
2) A multi-tabbed browser should not implement HTTP 401 basic authentication via a modal dialog. A user may well want to open another tab to read the password from an activation email.
3) A print dialog in a multi-document interface should not be modal. If the user wants to print two documents, one with 1000 pages and one with 5, but wrongly starts with the 1000 page document, you should not require her to cancel the dialog (and all settings she gave) just so she can print the smaller job first.
Matt answered the question as to what it is. As to when to use it, it's useful when you need the user to focus on one task and one task alone. On the web, a modal is often centered on the screen with the rest of the page being grayed to focus attention on itself and visually imply that the background won't be used until you complete this modal task.
Where they shouldn't be used is somewhat highly dependent on context of your particular project. Where I've seen it abused is when it's used as a replacement for a normal page flow. Example where a user may trigger a task on the main page to launch a modal that then makes an AJAX form to load a form that then steps through 3 modal screens before finishing. In that example, sending the user to a separate page was probably the better option.
A modal dialog window is like a popup except it occurs within the browser window unlike a popup which "pops out" of the screen. A modal dialog window also traditionally have an overlay between itself and the content of the web page in order to give the modal window more prominence.
They can be used for a variety of different things but usually when the user will want to return quickly to the page the modal window came from.
See below for an example of Facebook's style modal window.

From looking at this I'd say that your install of libftdi is wrong, as you don't have a 32-bit one in /usr/lib.

Had a little problem with the auto partitioning at the mmc installation. because i used an old mmc with one partition already on it, the installer was not able to do "mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2" (=> installation aborted). It created the new partition, but "/dev/mmcblk0p2" didn't exists. After starting the process a second time, everything went perfectly because the 2 partition were now available under "/dev" at the time the mmc loaded.

Can't get USB Audio to work, too loud and scratchy from headphone and receiver

October 11, 2009, 07:49:31 AM »
I had good success with the installer version 1.0 on linux but could not get it working from windows. On Windows even though I could connect to the console with the serial port, runme.exe always reported that the serial connection was not there and asked me if the cable was connected. I tried power down etc as suggested but it did not help. On linux I was able to install everything and it worked great.
I built a custom kernel and tried to use it with the default rootfs but this caused a kernel panic and I had to go back to the original uImage. I don't know how to generate a rootfs image from my kernel compile. I tried with tar'ing from / but this kept including things I didn't want and I had a hard time getting --exclude to do what I wanted. I am new to kernel building and imagine there is a real way to do this. If anyone has an ideas it would be great.
I did plug in a USB Audio adapter but the sound that comes out is super loud and scratchy. Has anyone gotten USB audio to work? When I plugged in my usb audio adapter I got this in dmesg. I just used mpg123 as the player.

Regarding the USB Audio, I have my plug serving as a music jukebox @home, look @ the wiki
There are some posts on the forum related to this topic that might help you, just search.
Regarding the installer on win32, are you using XP?
If you want the plug to use your custom kernel you might need to clean up the kernel modules that were installed in /lib. I suggest you use the config used in
as base and add/remove from it drivers.
If you need a clean rootfs, take the Ubuntu rootfs.tar.gz from the installer

Thanks your wiki was how I got started an I bought the exact same usb sound adapter based on it.
I will search around some more. Since the adapter was recognized I thought maybe I didn't need the new kernel but it looks like its recognized but the right driver is not there.

Thanks, I will try this next time I attempt to use the installer.
I was able to alleviate my immediate problem by installing a new kernel, but I'm sure it will be useful to use the installer at some point.

Newbie here, got my plug, first thing I wanted to do was to upgrade to the version 1.0 installer since it wipes everything out. I got it working, but here are the issues I had, hoping this will be put into the readme, and that it will help other people.
Background: I bought my plug 2 weeks ago, got it tues. Would be nice if it came with 1.0 installed, but it doesn't. Also as some suggest, it has the old usb vender/product keys, so just because you just bought it, doesn't mean it is a new unit. I am using windows xp sp3 at the moment to upgrade. I wanted to put the OS on an SD card, not nand or mmc.
First issue is that the docs say ssh works right out of the box, I couldn't get it to work
Second I tried to get the minicom working. I did, but it is very flacky, if move the miniusb connector, in windows device manager, the comport disappears and re-appears. Just banging on the floor would cause this issue. Not sure if it is cable or connector. Anyway, I wrapped it around the unit tightly to try to get it so it wouldn't shake around, seemed to work. From then on always unplugged the computer end to reset the connection.
After doing the quick start on the wiki, still no ssh, I decided to upgrade.
The documentation is very poor, talks about mmc, is that the SD card? I was confused, but it turns out that upgrading using the mmc option adds the OS to the SD card, very simple once you understand it.
Updated to new opencd as stated earlier in this thread after download of installer package
Very confused about install instructions, not very user friendly at all. In readme.txt, follow Installer Procedure step 1a (On windows you need CDM drivers and LibUSB drivers), step 1b is really the next Installation section. Why do you have two installation sections in a readme?
very confusing
In installation section, did step 1,2,4. Couldn't do step 3, no uboot-custom.txt file. I took one from uboot/uboot-env/uboot-mmc-custom.txt, renamed it, changed the mac address, copied it into installer dir before step 4. I have a feeling this isn't needed anymore, and that because you pass params into runme, it detects the correct file. So I also changed the mac address in the other custom files. Step 5,6 are the same as step 4. Did step 7, (ignored step 8,9 since I was already powered and had a serial connection), step 10, 11 (ran runme mmc) . Waited too long since I thought the runme was suppose to exit. Not the case...reread step 11.
I was able to serial in, and nothing was happening. I got the Marvell prompt. What happened? Where do I go from here. I reset the unit, saw it boot, and said it didn't have a valid usb device. But it was attached, it said it found 2 devices, etc... took me a while poking around and finally figuring out that my usb stick didn't want to work with the Sheevaplug. Tried another one. This worked better, but had issues reading the files. Third stick worked fine. Ran (run recover1) to start process over again, or reset plug to kick off install.
Then I got the error that Pete had above. It had issues creating/formatting the partitions on the mmc card. Restarting the plug fixed this.
I got the issue Marcus had above as well during this process about jtag errors, after the first time I got a successful upgrade. The only way I got around the issue was to reset the device with the serial attached, stop the boot process, get the marvel prompt, then try to upgrade the unit. If you don't what happens is that the upgrade process resets the unit and it boots too quickly into the OS so the jtag won't work.
Took me a while, a whole day to figure out everything and get it upgraded, and now have ubuntu on a 16gb SD card booting with the new uboot, etc... Hope this helps people.

I have the old USB ids (product=0x9e8f vendor=0x9e88) but a new unit (~25mm gap between USB and network socket). Perhaps it was just one batch that had an odd set of USB ids?

Hi Reedy,
Well it looks like your Linux does see the two ttyUSB ports and there is no permission issue.
I occasionally get the same error from openocd, to recover I try the following:
* press the reset button with the paper clip
* unplug/plug the mini USB
* power cycle the plug
* rmmod and modprobe the device driver
One of the above gets the job done for me, now if it does not work for you then try:
* replacing the mini USB cable, users have complained that the mini USB socket can be loosy
* try the installer on a Linux machine
* try the installer on a XP machine (my last resort
I had one plug that was quite resistant to opencd's connection attempts. I got fed up of seeing these errors:
Error: timed out while waiting for target halted
Runtime error, file "openocd/config/board/sheevaplug.cfg", line 21:
openocd FAILED
Is the mini USB cable connected?
Try powering down, then replugging the Sheevaplug
Every time opencd tried to do its thing, it would *immediately* trigger a reboot of the plug - which I could see in the console, and by the ethernet connection alerts on my desktop.
Of course I tried disconnecting / reconnecting, rebooting the host, power cycling the plug, all sorts.
Eventually I had success by using a paperclip on the reset button and *immediately* after releasing the button, running runme.php. (Well, let's say 2 or 3 seconds later - it wasn't quite simultaneous).

It seems I'm having problems with the Installer 1.0 that have already been reported but, after trying quite a few solutions I've read here, I'm still stuck. I damaged my plug trying to move the boot from flash to SD. I can still get the Marvell>> prompt but when it tries to boot (Linux) then I get the Bad Magic Number 00800000 I've tried the installer on both XP and Ubuntu 9.04 with no luck. I have only a basic knowledge of Linux but it seems as if the USB stick (I've tried several with FAT32 and EXT2/3) in the plug isn't beeing accessed. I'm attaching two files: one with Linux results and the other with XP. My verson is 0x9e88. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Thanks BG

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Passing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to orted

I was wondering if it is possible to make a formal definition of what it means for a functor to be forgetful. That is, using only the terminology of categories. I have seen so many examples of forgetful functors, but they have always been specific examples, and the fact that they were forgetful was "clear simply from what we untuitively mean by forgetful. So, is there a formal definition?
Here is a proof that every functor is "forgetful." Let $F: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$ be a functor. Then $\mathcal{C}$ is equivalent (in fact, isomorphic) to the category of pairs $(x, y) \in \mathcal{C} \times \mathcal{D}$ such that $F(x) = y$, where morphisms are pairs $(f, F(f)): (x, y) \to (x', y')$. Under this equivalence, $F$ is the functor to $\mathcal{D}$ that "forgets $\mathcal{C}$." This seems like a silly construction, but it is simply the restriction of the projection functor $\mathcal{C} \times \mathcal{D} \to \mathcal{D}$ to the graph of $F$, and if we believe that the former functor is forgetful, then surely its restriction to a subcategory should be forgetful.
The adjective "forgetful" is only meaningful when it is placed into the context of some specified extra structure (or the various generalizations of "structure" suggested by Baez-Dolan-Bartels) that one is supposed to be forgetting. For instance, if the structure one cares about is "algebras over some arbitrary monad," then Beck's monadicity theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to be "forgetful" in this sense. Without specifying such a context, "forgetful" is meaningless.
This is very difficult to do. The Stuff, Structure, Property approach coined by Jim Dolan, John Baez and Toby Bartels is the best formalization I've seen. Here is the synopsis from the nLab page:
Here is a counterpoint to some of the other responses. It's true that the abstract approach of Stuff, Structure, Property may seem sketchy (especially the passage to the core groupoid) but it is in fact surprisingly correct for some very broad classes of concrete categories with very rich notions of forgetfulness.
One such class (one that I am more familiar with) are the categories Mod(T) of models of a first-order theory T. There are three very distinct ways of forgetting things in Mod(T):
In the absence of evil and under other ideal conditions, the functorial characterizations of Properties, Structure, and Stuff translate to important results in model theory (various definability, interpolation, and consistency theorems). The translations are sometimes a little on the weak side, but I think that with adjustments to account for type information not captured by the theory alone, the translation can be made broader and even more precise.
To me, this is strong evidence that Stuff, Structure, Property is indeed the correct way to translate these notions of forgetfulness from the concrete to the abstract. While it's true that talking about forgetfulness without knowing what you're forgetting is nonsensical in when looking at particular instances, this approach provides a way of abstracting and even reasoning about forgetfulness in a completely general setting.
PS: Note that I am not a category theorist, I'm just a very impressed outsider. I suspect that category theorists have even stronger intuitions for Stuff, Structure, Property approach.
I don't think there is. You can for example look at the wiki page for forgetful functors to see that the functors commonly referred to as forgetful can be quite different from one another. A lot of them are fully faithful, some are just faithful and some are not even that. One hope one might have would be to define it as a right adjoint to some type of functor (some sort of "free object" functor) as discussed in this question here on MO. This has it's drawbacks since, as discussed in the Wiki page mentioned above, there are forgetful functors that do not have a left adjoint.
As other interlocutors have said, the answer is basically "no", in that there are various different things that deserve to be called "forget" or not. In the Tannaka-Krein story, depending on exactly how you word it, (additive) functors deserve to be called "forget" if they are faithful and exact. In much of algebra, "forget" should mean something like "faithful with a left adjoint ("free")". But if you're writing a paper, the correct thing to do is to say something like "We have a functor $\text{Forget}: \mathcal C \to \mathcal D$ forgetting this and that; it has XYZ properties."

blocking winner and yet another give-away!
Congratulations to Joyce from MO, the winner of the Soak gift bag and blocking wires!
The gift fairy is working in overdrive this month. Or I should say, Cirilia's work with our generous partners is in overdrive this month? Look for a give-away in our weekly newsletter, Knitbits, this Friday (May 22). If you don't already subscribe, you can find a link to the survey /entry form on our home page. Answer our survey and enter to win a gorgeous Tom Bihn bag filled with Berroco Peruvia Quick. (Enough to make Nimbus in any of the sizes written).
This is the cork version of the bag designed by Knitty readers. It's phenomenally cool, with inside pockets and a stuff sack included. We'll be giving away 4 of them!
Coming soon – answers to your blocking questions….
Paula-Marie Hogge #
I am an enthusiastic patron of both Knit Bits and Berroco yarns. I am fortunate to be a local customer of the Yarn Store in Uxbridge and appreciate their selection and knowledge of your yarns. Sharing my love of knitting is a priority to me. I am a middle school teacher in the Bellingham school system and have established Generation Knit for students at my school and organized a charity knitting program for the staff that ran throughout the 2007-2008 school year. Our second annual WWKIP day is scheduled for June at the Bellingham Common and all needleworkers are invited.
I appreciate the updated elegance of your projects and booklets, but feel there is a need to reach out to beginning knitters with simple elegant projects that will move them forward, slowly, to appreciating the quality of your yarns. I enjoy designing these types of projects and combining textures in simple projects to raise their level of sophistication and drama.
My background includes styling, teaching craft classes and demonstrations.
I am a teacher and have time available in the summer to pursue these types of projects and would be happy to meet with a Berroco representative to discuss collaboration on possible projects. Thank you for your consideration and keep those Knit Bits coming! Paula-Marie HoggeMay 29, 2009

Which dialects would one normally encounter when visiting/living in Japan (in popular places like Tokyo, Kyoto and and so on) or reading something produced in Japan?

The biggest dialects that often come up are.
There are of course more, but these are the ones I Believe you have the highest chances of hearing during Japanese language study or TV watching
Mark Hosang already gave a good answer, so I'll only try to add more detail to it, and maybe generalize the dialect division some more.
It's hard to answer "how many dialects are commonly used", for two reasons:
Generally speaking, dialectal variation in Japanese is dying out, but some bigger regional dialects are still quite strong. The following big regional dialects are rather well-known:
I mean ウチナーグチ is often used. TV, music, food and other products, young people...etc. Of course Japanese is used most of the time, it's not like they use uchinaa guchi in everyday conversation. But the traditions stay and it's not a dying language. (at least not when I was there and not in what I've seen recently either when following local news and conversing with friends) Or maybe it's because I'm only acquainted with more traditional people and less average Okinawan (and like me they become old...)

Set in rural Manitowoc County mainly during 1994-1995, Mourning Hours tells the story of what happened after teenager Stacy Lemke disappeared in an early March snowstorm. Although in the end the mystery is solved, the story is more about how her disappearance affected the Hammarstrom family and the community. The tone of the book is tense as the strain on the family causes their lives together to come apart. Paula Treick DeBoard's details of life in rural Wisconsin ring true, and her characters are realistic and believable.
A Talk with Michael Hingson will be presented at 6 p.m. Tuesday, October 29, at the Fond du Lac Public Library. The presentation is free and open to the public. No registration required.
On Saturday, October 25, kids 12 and under are invited to come in costume for Monster Mash from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Children's Room.

There is this Gather service in the webz. It's been said that this service is for writers. How exactly can it help me as a writer? Cause I didn't get anything meaningful from their "about" page, and I want to gather knowledge from people who've used it.
I went to their about page, and that pointed to socialwrite.gather.com, which says:
Sounds like their writers are supposed to generate SEO-friendly copy (pfui) and in return Gather may pay them. Or maybe not. Depends on how honest their bookkeeping is, and I doubt their contracts include letting writers audit their books.
Given that they don't pay a penny until/unless you break that 250 page view mark, I recommend blogging for yourself instead.
As far as I can see it's a bit like Suite 101. The site asks you to write short topical pieces that orient to good SEO results and garnishes your article pages with ads. You get a cut of the click-through revenue.
I may be wrong.

A group is seeking state support for its proposal to open a charter school in western Michigan aiming to meet the academic needs of elite athletes.
MLive.com says the Legacy Academy would serve students in grades seven through 12.
An application with the state Department of Education lists two locations — The Revolution Arena for hockey in Battle Creek and the Kingdom Indoor Soccer Center in Portage.
The school targets hockey players, figure skaters and soccer players, who could train and take classes at the same location.
Spokeswoman Heather Montei says organizers are forming a nonprofit group to run the school and are seeking a charter from Northern Michigan University. They've applied for a $110,000 planning grant from the state.

I asked this already on Stack Overflow, here. I was told I might find answers here.
Two things:
(Perhaps slightly off-topic). I'm not sure about iOS, but on OSX, CFStream, CFNetwork and so on allow the application to use a private key in the KeyChain without ever gaining access to its content. For example, if you have to authenticate to a site with a client certificate, it's the OS/Keychain layer that will deal with the signature using the private key, and then pass the TLS "handle" to the application.
In a sense, it makes the keys more secure, as the users don't need to trust the application as much: even if it uses your private key when you allow it to, it will never be able to make a copy of it (and perhaps send it to a rogue site). (Note that this depends on various configuration options, of course, as you are also able to give the content of the private key to the application if required, and allowed by the user).
As far as I know, OpenSSL isn't integrated with the OS in this manner (so the application process has to be able to get hold of the private key if it wants to use it).

Had the right to an interracial marriage been left to voters, it would still be illegal in many southern states.

So the DN is counting on SCOTUS saying, "Sure, you're denying a group
their equal rights with no rational basis, but it really isn't our place to
interfere. You all do what you want. We'll be over here clipping out the
portions of the U.S. Constitution that are a bit problematic for you."
I agree that it would be best for each state to decide on its own to rescind these laws. It certainly would be better for business. And perhaps it will be business concerns that give politicians the cover they need to do the right thing. Like Governor Brewer in AZ: She was able to veto the ill-advised "religious freedom" law by saying "I will always do what's best for my state."
I think it will be this way for religions too. If they want to continue to attract converts, at least here in the U.S. - or stop losing them - they're going to have to do what's best for their "business."

I didn't even read the article but I'm guessing it's the same
nonsense as we have read hundreds of times in past Dnews articles.
People should decide, not judges. States rights. Bla bla. Children are raised better if the parents are biological. Bla bla. Maybe some completely bogus discredited study will be cited. Blast Obama or Harry Reid.

I think it's time I stop reading the Deseret News. It's not healthy to
be constantly reminded about how opposed the editorial board is to me having
basic rights that would lead to real happiness in this life. While there are so
many people sincerely trying to reach out and understand what it means to be
homosexual in this community, you continue to publish articles that undermine
those attempts. Don't you realize that your words continue to compel people
to keep us as strangers in our own churches, neighborhoods, and homes.
I am saddened by this fight you continue to wage against a group of people who have been marginalized for far too long. Can't you please remember that these are people--children of God--who deserve a break from the rhetoric that divides us?

"...The key question in the debate over the definition of marriage is about
who shall decide. Will it be the people, through democratic processes? Or will
it be a federal district court judge asserting a constitutional right to a
practice that remains deeply divisive within our nation?...".
Why stop there?
The DN editorial is dismissive about a federal district court judge.
Yet the DN editorial gives deference to another unelected lawyer's single vote.
In both cases, the problem is unelected lawyers making decisions that affect all of us.
It appears that the age old axiom of where one stands on an issue depends upon whose ox is being gored continues to be the golden rule.

I am going to have to disagree with the statement in the article.
"It is almost certain that one of the pending appellate court decisions regarding the right of a state to define marriage will again return to the Supreme Court. And four of the current nine justices are almost certain to uphold laws."
Not necessarily. That will only happen if there is a disagreement among the different federal and appellate Judges. Last I counted the score was 42 decisions supporting Marriage equality to 0 that were ruled in favor of discrimination... oh I'm sorry "traditional marriage". If there is no disagreement then the Supreme Court will not take up the matter. They will just deffer to the lower courts rulings and Marriage Equality then becomes law. I hope that there is a decisive ruling by the Supreme court that will be sweeping across all states. But eventually, one by one all of these unconstitutionally voter approved laws will fall.

Wow, is everyone afraid to stand up for traditional marriage? I have always believed that we have created through legal contracts and needed to create a way for LGBT people to have equal rights when it comes to survivorship, hospital visits, tax policies, etc. That is what equal rights are about. I believe that people of all races and religions should have equal rights too. That doesn't mean that we must call all the people of all religions Catholics or all people of all colors Asians. If people in gay relationships want to call themselves married, I don't care. If they want the government to compel ME to call them married, that is an over-reach of government and it is a change of historic definition that I believe is wrong AND incorrect. I am sure I will now be labelled a bigot and a hater though I am not either. I have family members that are gay that I love and a number of gays that I work with and enjoy friendships with and a number that visit regularly in my home. I still have to stand for what I believe.

What if a State decided that to vote one must own property? What if a State decided that it would only educate those kids it deemed had a shot of succeeding in life? Does a State, or the People of a State really hold all power? Or are they subject to limitations.
The fact a specific right is not enumerated in the Constitution does not make it any less a Right (in fact that was one of the largest arguments against a Bill of Rights, that their enumeration would be construed as a limitation.)
If you are enjoying certain legal privileges because of a Status conferred upon you by a government, that same privilege and Status must be made available equally to all. After all, aren't all men created equal?

A recent survey found the Roberts court has seen a serious decline in support
for the Supreme Court by a sizable majority of citizens. Even though
they're unelected and serve for life, this has to be on the mind of the
Supremes as they try to sift through cases.
They don't operate in a vacuum.
The opinions of Thomas and Scalia - who recently badly misread even his own earlier opinion - can be easily predicted before any case is actually formulated, but the rest of the court has to be aware of how they'll be judged by history.
Overturning the striking record of lower courts on SSM decisions will yield respect by a dwindling group of Americans, while the younger generations would look at it as just another really bad decision by a court that seems intent on eroding the respect for the institution.

So what have been the most recent decisions by an electorate on this issue? I would point out to the DN that decisions made in the last couple of years are more indicative of where the U.S. stands now, rather than votes taken a decade or more ago.

@Roland Kayser
Don't forget Utah, one only has to read the talks of religious leaders in Utah to be reminded that they too were very much against interracial marriage. And I'm not talking about the 1800's. I mean the talks given in the 50's and 60's.
In all I think this entire editorial is pointless. What should guide the decision is not who will decide but what will decide. Whether it's by the electorate or the supreme court the constitution should decide this issue. In my opinion that means same sex marriage will be legal in America soon; and this will actually prove very positive for our country.

My husband and I are legally and lawfully married in the eyes of the state of California and in the eyes of the U.S. government. That is what I care about, legal equality -- that my government not discriminate against me. Contrary to what you might think, though, I have no objection if your conscience does not allow you to recognize my relationship. That is your business.

It would appear that the editorial writer fails to grasp that under our Federal Constitution, the role of the judiciary includes reviewing the laws passed by the Congress and the various States to determine whether they are in conflict with the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Without that review and court decisions, segregation would still be the law of the land in states where it used to exist, miscegenation would be banned by law, police would be allowed to beat confessions out of suspects, and people could be jailed indefinitely without charges being filed. It's part of the idea of checks and balances to prevent, among other things, a tyranny of the majority that would easily oppress those in the minority. One would think that Mormons in particular would be sufficiently cognizant of their own history to see how badly that can turn out.

@VV, My lawyer friends say that forming an LLC with specific provisions for those issues will provide every legal remedy you seek with the possible exception of some tax laws which I agree should be addressed. My Constitutional conviction is that marriage should not be a part of the equation when it comes to the Federal government - that marriage should be between two people or between two people and their God. The fact that the government IS involved is what has led us down this path.

I fully support the rights of LGBT couples to legally join in unions of their choice. But to shoehorn everyone into a one-size-fits-all marriage arrangement, regardless of obvious differences, only leads to a legal and moral morass detrimental to all. Any party could and will take advantage of ill-suited legalities to constantly "harass" another.
