The 5 Circles of Baffling Web Comic Hell
A recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine found that 86 percent of all webcomic artists are, quote, "clownshit insane."
Not that I'm criticizing; I wrote a horror novel about dongs, I'm not going to throw stones from that glass house. But man, there is something about webcomics as a medium that really drives people to reach their craziest potential.
In our exhaustive analysis in the forums we found that all of the mind-blowingly insane webcomics fit neatly into five categories, which we have arranged in order of most innocuous to the very nightmares of the Devil himself. So hang onto your sanity good and tight as we tour these five circles of webcomic hell, beginning with Level 5, where we find...
Crazy People with Good Causes
Even the simplest and most banal message can turn into a glorious display of wild-eyed madness when filtered through the spinning kaleidoscope that is the webcomic creator's mind. A perfect example is the anti-smoking comic called...
#10. Easy Breather:
"I told you my bulge has no comment!"
Sure, the 3D-rendered characters in Easy Breather are a little terrifying. And sure the comic seems a little too obsessed with the "quit smoking" thing, pretty much blaming smoking from everything from rape to the Holocaust...
...but if you read the very first episode, it seems pretty harmless. It's an innocent tale of a little girl finding some cigarettes on the beach. Curiosity gets the best of her, but luckily her wise friend is there to intervene!
Well, that's pretty common sense stuff. Now go tell Mom and Dad, kids, so a valuable lesson can be learned!
Aaaaaand they're naked.
See, this is why webcomics are a thousand times better than newspaper comics. This is why I think James Vipond, the creator of this comic, is a mad genius. A character's mother dies? Gee, what would be a nice way to make the dreary mourning scene go down better?
The answer is titties.
I assure you, the censorship was added by us. People make fun of Mr. Vipond, they call him crazy for making a comic where at utterly random times the characters' clothing vanishes into the ether. But dammit, 20 years from now that will be a staple of all entertainment. He's crazy in the way that Tesla was crazy. The world just isn't ready for his brand of genius.
We leave you to your work, James, and continue to...
#9. Hathor the Cow Goddess:
From the site:
"Hathor the Cowgoddess...is a superhero who wants to save humanity through the combination of nurture, sustainability and bonding inherent in the practice of attachment parenting. Her movement is called the Evolution Revolution, her breasts are her superpower..."
Wait, do you mean that her breasts are the source of her superpower? Because it doesn't make sense to say that the breasts themselves are a... wait, you know what? That actually sort of does make sense.
"...and her sidekick is her baby, always carried in a sling and prominently (politically) suckling at her exposed breast."
Well, that seems reasonable. Let's see her in action!
Aaaand... POW! Public nudity.
I stopped and wrote down all of the questions raised by this particular strip. I wound up filling three spiral-bound notebooks. Including:
Question #1. If she's part cow, how are all of her children human?
Question #73. If the point of being a cow goddess is her superior milking ability, why just the two nipples instead of four?
Question #876. Is that a nipple on her scalp?Her pet cause seems to be that the world will be saved, not just by breast feeding, but by breast feeding with a live audience. And I think she's right. If you're at Starbucks and you see a topless cow-woman hybrid loudly breastfeeding her human children, are you thinking about war or pollution? No. You're not thinking about anything other than the shit that's going on right in front of you.
And while it's hard to argue with her "ice cream for breakfast" platform...
...it's a little hard to take life advice from a horned woman wearing a Hannibal Lecter anti-bite mask.
#8. Law For Kids:
We would be remiss if we didn't mention Law for Kids, the comics made by a group in Arizona to help kids stay out of trouble. Already the subject of many an Internet meme, each one is a masterpiece of minimalist storytelling:
What did they do wrong? The comic does not say. As in Oscar Wilde's tale of Dorian Gray, the grotesque sins of the protagonists that occurred between panels two and three are left to the reader's imagination. Perhaps the transgressions you imagine say something about you.
Also left shrouded in mystery is the final outcome, as the sixth and final panel of each comic is left blank, taunting us with the unknowable nature of the future. In this case we think it's safe to say that those two kids were never seen again.
Now let's up the crazy factor a few notches, and proceed to Level 4...

If you're pregnant, you might be curious about your water breaking — when it will happen, what it will feel like and what to do next. Recognize the signs of water breaking and know what it means for the timeline of your baby's delivery.
During pregnancy, your baby is surrounded and cushioned by a fluid-filled membranous sac called the amniotic sac. At the beginning of or during labor, your membranes will rupture — also known as your water breaking. If your water breaks at or around the time of your due date and labor doesn't soon begin, it's called premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
When your water breaks you might experience a sensation of wetness in your vagina or on your perineum, an intermittent or continuous trickle of small amounts of watery fluid from your vagina, or — just like in the movies — a more obvious gush.
It's not always easy to tell if your water has broken. For example, it might be difficult to tell the difference between amniotic fluid and urine — especially if you only experience a feeling of wetness or a trickle of fluid.
If you're uncertain whether your water has broken, consult your health care provider or head to your delivery facility right away. Your doctor or a member of your health care team will give you a physical exam and might use lab tests to determine if you're leaking amniotic fluid. Be sure to note when you think your water might have broken and be prepared to describe any noticeable color or odor. You and your baby will be evaluated to determine the next steps.
Don't do anything that could introduce bacteria into your vagina. Sex isn't a good idea if you think you might be leaking amniotic fluid. It's OK to take a shower after your water breaks — but your health care provider might recommend skipping it and heading straight to your delivery facility.
Typically, after your water breaks at term labor soon follows — if it hasn't already begun.
Sometimes, however, there's a delay. If you experience premature rupture of membranes, your doctor might stimulate uterine contractions before labor begins on its own (labor induction). The longer it takes for labor to start after your water breaks, the greater the risk of you or your baby developing an infection.
If your water breaks before the 37th week of pregnancy, it's known as preterm premature rupture of membranes (preterm PROM). Risk factors for water breaking too early include:
If your water breaks too early, your health care provider will evaluate you and your baby. It's sometimes possible to extend pregnancy for a short time after the membranes rupture, but generally there's no turning back. Most women who have preterm premature rupture of membranes deliver within one week of their water breaking.
Potential complications include maternal or fetal infection, placental abruption — when the placenta peels away from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery — and umbilical cord problems. The baby is also at risk of complications due to premature birth.
If your health care provider believes the amniotic sac should be opened during active labor — when your cervix is at least partially dilated and the baby's head is deep in your pelvis — he or she might use a technique known as an amniotomy to rupture the membranes. During the amniotomy, a thin plastic hook is used to make a small opening in the amniotic sac. The procedure might cause some discomfort.
If you don't go into labor on your own, your health care provider might do an amniotomy as part of a planned induction to encourage labor to begin.
It's natural to feel anxious about labor and delivery. Try to relax. While you might not be able to predict when your water will break, you can take comfort in your knowledge about the next steps.

I May Never Get a Mani Again
These little beauties may be your best alternative to weekly manicures and a cure for chipped nails
The smart folks at Inoco have thought of everything: the package comes with extra stickers in case you make a mistake (which I was thankful for, because of course I goofed a few). Each sticker has a different width at each end so you can find the best fit for your nail bed. Plus, the stickers come in over two hundred varieties, making it a snap to find sets to match anything -- your shoes, your mood, the day of the week, whatever.
Related Bellissima! Dolce & Gabbana's New Nail Collection
Best of all: these nails don't chip or peel. I wore them for a solid week, without so much as a ding in the finish. The instructions say you can wear them for up to two weeks, and I believe it. Removing them was also a breeze. I used normal nail polish remover and they slipped right off. The only issue I had was the teeny amount of particularly stubborn leftover glue, which I easily scraped off.
So, will I wear them again? I like to keep it simple when it comes to my nails. Inoco's nail stickers not only pass the road test, they're easy enough to apply and remove. I'm giving them my official low-maintenance seal of approval.

The folks at the Ben and Elmer Tractor Company in Barren County are recovering after a tractor trailer plowed into a corner office Thursday night.
A driver with D&G Transport out of Summer Shade had parked the truck on the shoulder in front of the Junior Foods Store, up the road from Ben and Elmer Tractor Company.
Around 8 p.m. Thursday, the breaks failed on the unattended semi, sending it into the corner of the Ben and Elmer Tractor Company. One office and part of the front wall were completely destroyed, two other offices and ceilings were damaged, but no one was in the offices at the time of the accident and no one was hurt.
Authorities have confirmed the truck was more than 10-thousand pounds over the allowed weight.
Ben and Elmer Tractor Company is open for business. There is no estimate yet on the cost of the damage sustained.

My Unity Launcher is currently stuck open. Short of logging out and back in, does anyone have ideas for getting it to auto-hide as usual?
It turns out that the Launcher is supposed to stay open on workspaces containing no windows. Two of my workspaces had maximised windows which Unity didn't seem to be noticing, and when I closed those and then re-opened them, the Launcher reverted to its correct auto-hide behaviour.
Perhaps one could also simply move the window to another workspace and back to get the Launcher unstuck--I did not think to try that.
If you wish to have the launcher always autohide, you can use the Unity plugin in the CompizConfig Settings Manager. See this question for complete instructions.
None of the methods above like Super S/Super-W, drag drops, min/max/move windows worked for me.
Only running
Ubuntu 11.10
I've had the same problems. SO annoying. It seems to happen when I select and drag in certain programs. So far in Menedely Desktop and QtiPlot. The trick I've found is to go to a web page select text then begin to drag and the sidebar will go back to auto-hide.
Yes, it's a bug. What i do is start the expo plugin using the shortcut key and the launcher hides after that.
timmay143's workaround helped me. The bug seems to be fixed now: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/769703. Fix not released for Natty yet.

Oscar Combs, who made a dream come true when he started The Cats' Pause, probably will fuss at me when he reads this, but his fabulously successful Cats' Pause is better than ever now that general manager Darrell Bird and his staff are producing the UK fan magazine.
And I am glad that Russell Rice is regularly back with his popular column – especially when he writes something that gives me an idea for a column.
In the last Cats' Pause until preseason football reports start, one of Russell's readers wanted to know if it is true that Adolph Rupp's Wildcats played the NBA champion Minneapolis Lakers in an exhibition game in the early 1950s. And that UK won.
I was the only writer admitted to daily scrimmages (not games) in Memorial Coliseum. I got in because coach Rupp had given his permission for me to come to any Wildcats' practices because I covered the team for the student newspaper, The Kentucky Kernel.
The Cats of Cliff Hagan, Frank Ramsey, Lou Tsioropoulos, Billy Evans and Gayle Rose could not beat the Lakers of George Mikan, Vern Mikelsen, Jim Pollard and Slater Martin. I don't remember the Lakers' fifth starter.
The battle between Hagan and the much bigger Mikan was highlight after highlight. Cliff wasn't big enough to stop Mikan, but Cliff could match him basket for basket because he had the most accurate and most beautiful hook shot in the history of basketball. That's right, the best and biggest center in the NBA couldn't stop Hagan from scoring.
The NBA wasn't what it is now, and NCAA had no rules prohibiting such practices where it was pro vs. college kids. Rupp and Lakers coach John Kundla were friends. I do not believe the teams ever barnstormed together and played each other.
Remember Fairce
It always is a delight when my readers call and want to talk about things that happened 60 or 70 years – or more – ago.
A recent call: "I saw Fairce Woods play for Kentucky Wesleyan when they beat Louisville in Louisville 68-60 during the 1946-47 season."
One of the Cardinals' best players ever, Jack Coleman, couldn't keep little Wesleyan, then in Winchester, from winning.
Fairce was one of the most fantastic players our state ever had. When he stood on his tip toes, he might have been 5-foot-5. He starred for little Garrett High in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky.
He went home after practice one day when there was a letter from Adolph Rupp offering him a scholarship to mighty Kentucky.
Fairce threw it away!
"Nobody from Garrett ever went to Kentucky," said the little man, so he went to Wesleyan, where I saw him play about 20 times either against Western, Morehead, Marshall, Berea or Eastern.
I asked Johnny Oldham, an All-American guard and later a great coach at WKU, if Fairce was as good as I thought he was.
"Yes!" And Johnny added, "There was no stopping him. He would shoot from anywhere once he crossed mid-court."
When UK's Fabulous Five got home from the 1948 Olympics in London, Alex Groza, Ralph Beard, Kenny Rollins, Wah Wah Jones and Cliff Barker barnstormed around the state and they asked Fairce to join them.
"Fairce could play," Beard told me, "but he wasn't as fast or as quick as I was."
Fairce became one of Kentucky's finest high school coaches at Breathitt County in Jackson. They broke up the hold that Hazard, Carr Creek and Hindman held on the 14th Region for years (each of those three schools won state championships before Breathitt ended their reign.)

The question whether video games are art has been bothering gamers, journalists and critics alike for a long while. Proponents might say that art is subjective, that anything capable of eliciting a deep emotional response could be considered art. Then, perhaps, there is no greater argument for calling video games art than Team ICO's work.
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, released in 2001 and 2005, respectively, left a huge mark on the PlayStation 2 community. Both instant classics, they won over their audience with their unique atmosphere, emotional story, deep characters, and fresh gameplay. Team ICO creative lead Fumito Ueda's latest creation, The Last Guardian, however, suffered many hurdles during its long development.
In this Kotaku Timeline, we follow TLG's evolution from just a rumor to a solid, confirmed title. We look at when, why, and how Sony delayed the game, and also collect all the details and bits of information they, and Team ICO, released. We will also remain on the lookout for announcements and events, both good and bad, in the future.
It all started with a Sony meet for an unrelated game in 2007. And so that's where our timeline begins...

Does it's status as a "state church" have any affect the beliefs or practices of the Church of Scotland? Are there any doctrinal distinctives that make it unique (particularly among Presbyterian churches) that can be traced to it's unique relationship with the state?

Regarding belief, the Church of Scotland is entirely independent of the state in matters spiritual (and is a "national church" not a state church). Regarding practices, the call to be a "national church" means a self-understanding not to neglect areas of the country which are less prosperous or populous. The Church of Scotland is struggling to maintain a system of parishes, with ministers serving every parish (including very rural parts of the Scottish Highlands and Islands).
The Church of Scotland has, at times, criticised the policies of the British or Scottish Governments. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has, for example, regularly approved "deliverances" calling for nuclear disarmament - contrary to British Government policy.

'I'm Not Your Little Baby!' Calling a Truce in Mother-Daughter Conflict
Jessica Setnick was on her way to her mother's house for dinner when she decided that she had something to say that couldn't wait.
She sent her mom a text: "I got my hair cut today and I think it looks fine. So if you don't like it, please don't say anything."
Ms. Setnick, a 39-year-old registered dietitian in Dallas, says she frequently braces herself for her mother's disapproving remarks. Such as, "Now that your husband has been laid off, you will need to stop eating out so much." Or, "The green napkins would look much better on the table." Or, "Why did you buy so many ears of corn?"
Ms. Setnick says she finds these comments condescending and often feels hurt by them. They lead to arguments. "It's as if she feels she knows what's best for me," says Ms. Setnick. "She doesn't see me as my own person."
Ms. Setnick's mother views things differently. "I never see my comments as criticism," says Sandra Zucker, 70, a college librarian. "I see them as a helpful suggestion."
It's common for mother-daughter relations to be stormy in the daughter's teen years. But why do mothers and daughters continue to push each other's buttons well into adulthood?
Some moms never stop nudging. It was their job for many years, after all. Although it is usually well-intentioned, it also is a way for them to get attention from their adult daughters. When daughters won't listen, mothers feel powerless—and then nudge even more.
"More often than not, the criticism is, 'I miss you and want you to call me more,' " says Lisa Brateman, a licensed clinical social worker and family therapist in Manhattan. "But mothers can't say that, because they've had that fight before. So they say, 'Your lipstick looks bad.' " Dr. Brateman offers psychotherapy for mothers and daughters together that is much like couples therapy.
Daughters, meanwhile, tend to be very sensitive to mom's input. They think she is being rude or doesn't respect them as an adult. Underneath, they fear they've failed the one person they have been seeking approval from since before they could speak.
Certainly, mother-son relationships can be intense, too, but typically they aren't as combustible as the mother-daughter combination. Women are more emotional than men. And sometimes mothers and daughters compete, both inside and outside the family, says Mikki Meyer, a marriage and family therapist in Manhattan and Highland, N.Y.
Mothers may place unrealistic and at times conflicting expectations on their daughters. They want their daughters to do things they didn't get to do, but they also want their daughters to be like them. They want their daughters to respect them, and they want them to be a friend.
The conflict usually starts when the daughter hits adolescence and begins to rebel against authority. A natural break should occur between adolescence and adulthood, where the mother allows her daughter to grow up and make her own decisions. Some mothers, however, have trouble letting go.
Ms. Setnick says her problems with her mother began when she was 12 and her father died. She had been very close with her dad, who was doting; she recalls feeling he "left" her with her mother. "I thought I was all grown up and already knew it all, and my mom was trying to boss me around," she says. "I thought, 'I don't need you.' "
For years, the two fought over everything. Were Ms. Setnick's skirts too short? Should she take an umbrella? To this day, Ms. Setnick says she can't stand umbrellas because they remind her of being controlled by her mom. One argument involving screaming and door slamming was about a purse. Ms. Setnick was a bridesmaid in a wedding and didn't think she needed to bring one for the evening. Her mother felt otherwise. "It was like a clash of wills," Ms. Setnick recalls. "Who was going to capitulate?"
Ms. Zucker says she never thought of herself as overbearing, especially compared with her own mother, who is now deceased. Growing up, she wasn't allowed to ride her bike beyond the driveway. She remembers when, as a teenager, she wouldn't eat what her mom made for dinner, and then she would find it on her plate the next morning at breakfast. As an adult, she signed her first apartment lease without telling her mother because she was so fearful of her disapproval. "I really tried to be different than my mother," Ms. Zucker says. "But I guess that control-in-order-to-protect is ingrained in me."
And so the cycle goes on. Ms. Zucker once called her daughter almost every day for three weeks straight to see if she'd scheduled a mammogram, Ms. Setnick says. Ms. Zucker acknowledges that she nudged her daughter, because it was important, but she prefers not to call it "controlling." "Let's say I am directive," she says.
Ms. Setnick calls it annoying. She has been known to storm out of the house after the two argue. (She takes a walk around the block to cool off and returns.) "This kind of conflict drains me completely," she says. "I am a grown person. I want to do it my way. Why are we fighting over this?"
Mothers and adult daughters get on each other's nerves because they are close—some experts might say too close. Mothers may see daughters as an extension of themselves or be afraid to let go. Daughters are often reluctant to set boundaries.
"They can be very successful adults in their careers but still have this power struggle," says Ms. Brateman. In the mother-daughter therapy, she has a meeting with the pair, then with each separately and then with the two together once a week. Typically, the daughter has asked the mom to go to therapy with her.
Unlike reluctant husbands, mothers are often willing to go. They don't view therapy has having a stigma, the way men often do. "And even though they may not have a good relationship with their daughter, they want to," Ms. Brateman says.
Mother-daughter therapy has its own special challenges. There is a big difference in power between the two parties, unlike with most marriages. Mom is the first authority figure and always remains so. Both mother and daughter tend to feel guilt about how they have treated the other.
A few years ago, Ms. Setnick asked her mother to go to a therapy session with her and attend a three-hour seminar called "Healing the Mother Wound." Ms. Zucker says she didn't think there was a "wound," but she agreed to go because it seemed important to her daughter. At the seminar and in therapy, Ms. Setnick talked about her issues with her mother; Ms. Zucker talked about problems with her own mother. "It was great," Ms. Setnick says.
Going to a mother-daughter therapy session and working individually, Ms. Setnick says she learned to stand up to her mom—calmly. She explained she would no longer load her mother's dishwasher because she was tired of being told she did it wrong. If she finds herself having an upsetting phone conversation with her mother, she says she needs to hang up but will call back later. "I recognize my power not to engage," Ms. Setnick says. "And I choose to see her not as a person who thinks I am incompetent, but as someone who wants my life to be better and thinks she can help."
Ms. Zucker says she was surprised—but not offended—by the changes in her daughter. "Once she was able to express her anger in a way I could hear it, I understood," she says. "And since I could never, ever say anything to my mother, I saw it as a good thing that my kid could say something to me."
Keeping the Peace
Here are some ideas for how mothers and daughters can improve their relationship.
• Daughters, when you speak to your mother, speak as an adult. Remind yourself that you are not 10 years old and always in trouble, and remind your mother, too. ('It's interesting you always think I am late. I haven't been late since 1974.') Hear what your mother is saying at face value, not through the filter of the past.
• Tell your mom how you do things. Explain that you will ask for her advice if you need it.
• Don't lie to your mom. It puts distance between you. And she always finds out: She has eyes in the back of her head— remember?
• Mothers, ask your daughter, 'What do you need help with?' Don't assume you know. 'Asking is the most important thing that the mom can do, because it gives credibility to the daughter as an adult,' says Mikki Meyer, a marriage and family therapist.
• Tell your daughter what your mother was like. Share how she treated you and how it made you feel. 'This is very interesting for the daughter to hear,' Dr. Meyer says.
• Ask, 'What are we are really fighting about?' Does your daughter feel disrespected? Is Mom mad that you never call? Discuss what is really wrong.
• Examine your contribution to the problem. Are you passive-aggressive? Overreacting? Passing blame? Accept responsibility.
• Explain your anger; don't show it. Better yet, leave it at the door. 'You can pick it up on the way out,' says Lisa Brateman, a licensed clinical social worker and family therapist.
• Be willing to be vulnerable. Say, 'The tension is upsetting me. I miss you.'
• Find something fun and mutually satisfying to do together instead of the negative pattern. Art? Hiking? Antiquing? Couples who try new activities together are happier. It can be true of moms and daughters, too.
• Imagine a satisfying relationship. 'You can only have it if you can picture it in some way,' Ms. Brateman says.

Celebrating Sanctuary: Birmingham and the Refugee Experience 1750-2002
Photographs by Kinson Chan and Russell Gill.
Other photographs and images courtesy of Birmingham Central Library
"In a multi-cultural society, the various individual cultures have all got something to give to the whole. I would like to be part of that." (Birmingham computer technician and son of Polish refugees)
Asylum seekers and refugees provide headline news. They are portrayed in sections of the media as a threat to Britain or a drain on the country's resources. But criticism is misplaced. It draws attention away from the persecution that people have experienced and the contributions that newcomers make to Britain. Those who arrive in Birmingham may have experienced traumatic events or discrimination as members of minorities or supporters of democracy and individual freedoms. As settlers in the city they have contributed to its economic, social and cultural fabric.
The city has been home to those fleeing from hostility and violence for over two hundred years. Reflecting on the history and contemporary experience of refugees and people seeking asylum provides an insight into the shaping of Birmingham.
Several observations can be made about local refugees:
- Their presence is a testimony to Birmingham's significance as an international city with a reputation for diversity and tolerance.
- Refugee communities and individuals have contributed, and continue to contribute to Birmingham's economic and professional life as workers in industry, the service economy or the public sector. They also add to the city's religious pluralism and social and artistic diversity.
- Despite evidence of some hostility, refugees have received and continue to receive support from businesses, religious organisations, politicians and ordinary citizens.
Who are Birmingham's refugees?
Jewish people fleeing from religious discrimination in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries settled in the city. In the twentieth century, war and political upheaval resulted in much human suffering. Refugees from Serbia and Belgium were temporary residents during World War I. Later, Basques escaping the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s came to the West Midlands, as did victims of Nazi or Communist persecution. The latter included Jews, Polish Catholics and Serbs.
Conflicts and persecution in East Africa, Chile and Indo-China in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s resulted in the arrival of new refugees. In the last decade people from Afghanistan, Africa, Bosnia, Iran, Kosovo, Kurdistan and elsewhere have escaped war, genocide and tyranny to seek sanctuary in the UK. In different ways these newcomers are making their mark in Birmingham.

I'm still looking for the new "-11" option that will allow OpenMPI compiled code to run even faster. I'm hoping that option makes it in soon (isn't it part of the 11.7 MPI standard?)

[OMPI users] Open MPI 2009 released
The Open MPI Team, representing a consortium of bailed-out banks, car
manufacturers, and insurance companies, is pleased to announce the
release of the "unbreakable" / bug-free version Open MPI 2009,
(expected to be available by mid-2011). This release is essentially a
complete rewrite of Open MPI based on new technologies such as C#,
Java, and object-oriented Cobol (so say we all!). Buffer overflows
and memory leaks are now things of the past. We strongly recommend
that all users upgrade to Windows 7 to fully take advantage of the new
powers embedded in Open MPI.
This version can be downloaded from the The Onion web site or from
many BitTorrent networks (seeding now; the Open MPI ISO is
approximately 3.97GB -- please wait for the full upload).
Here is an abbreviated list of changes in Open MPI 2009 as compared to
the previous version:
- Dropped support for MPI 2 in favor of the newly enhanced MPI 11.7
standard. MPI_COOK_DINNER support is only available with additional
equipment (some assembly may be required). An experimental PVM-like
API has been introduced to deal with the current limitations of the
- Added a Twitter network transport capable of achieving peta-scale
per second bandwidth (but only on useless data).
- Dropped support for the barely-used x86 and x86_64 architectures in
favor of the most recent ARM6 architecture. As a direct result,
several Top500 sites are planning to convert from their now obsolete
peta-scale machines to high-reliability iPhone clusters using the
low-latency AT&T 3G network.
- The iPhone iMPI app (powered by iOpen MPI) is now downloadable from
the iTunes Store. Blackberry support will be included in a future
- Fix all compiler errors related to the PGI 8.0 compiler by
completely dropping support.
- Add some "green" features for energy savings. The new "--bike"
mpirun option will only run your parallel jobs only during the
operation hours of the official Open MPI biking team. The
"--preload-result" option will directly embed the final result in
the parallel execution, leading to more scalable and reliable runs
and decreasing the execution time of any parallel application under
the real-time limit of 1 second. Open MPI is therefore EnergyStar
compliant when used with these options.
- In addition to moving Open MPI's lowest point-to-point transports to
be an external project, limited support will be offered for
industry-standard platforms. Our focus will now be to develop
highly scalable transports based on widely distributed technologies
such as SMTP, High Performance Gopher (v3.8 and later), OLE COMM,
RSS/Atom, DNS, and Bonjour.
- Opportunistic integration with Conflicker in order to utilize free
resources distributed world-wide.
- Support for all Fortran versions prior to Fortran 2020 has been

ah, but i may as well try.Thursday, June 24th, 2010
I knew I shouldn't. I knew it wouldn't work out.
I tried to take the quickest route to semi-success; I flipped the teacher the finger and dove right in.
And I drowned.
My Lao is shit. I order fried forest instead of fried fish. I tell village elders I have too much pubic hair when I want to say I'm sleepy.
So, it's back to basics for me. Back to where I know I should have started in the very beginning, but those damn squiggle letters and the multiple pitches and tones were just too intimidating. I know learning starts from the ground up. I know this. I just don't want to know this.
My (very patient) friend Ya now comes over every morning with a Lao work book and I practice my alphabet. I practice squishing consonants and vowels together in my mouth in that ever-so-gentle, lyrical way. I move my tongue around and play with sounds that my vocal chords have never before known.
I sing the vowel song in the shower and chant myself to sleep with tones.
And I accept that before, I cheated. And now I must start over. One rising pitch tone at a time.

How can i derive the dynamic of a relativistic charged particle in a uniform magnetic field $B=(0,0,B)$?
Since the other answer seem to lead to unnecessarily complicated territory, and conflates many different issues (classical versus quantum, particles versus fields, spin and fermionic statistics with charge), let me just sketch the answer whose details can be found in pretty much any text on classical electrodynamics.
Without relativity you would want to solve Newton's second law $F=ma$, where the force is supplied by the Lorentz force $F = q v \times B$, using standard notation for all the quantities involved. The simplest case is when the motion is in a plane and you want to solve for the trajectory $x(t),y(t)$, which ends up being a circle of radius related to the strength of the magnetic field. Do this exercise first since it is somewhat simpler and the real answer is not that different.
When the particle start moving fast you'd have to incorporate relativistic effects. The simplest way to proceed is to write Newton's second law as equation for 4-vectors, $f^\mu = m \dot{p^\mu}$, where both sides are 4-vectors and the nearly invisible dot is differentiation with respect to proper time. In a particular reference frame, these 4-vectors include factors of the relativistic $\gamma$ -- look for any exposition of relativistic dynamics to learn about this.
When you do all that you can write the new equation of motion, which is only slightly modified compared to the non-relativisitic case. The motion is still in a circle (if we choose it to lie on a plane), whose radius now has a factor of $\gamma$ relative to the Newtonian case.
Again, this is just to direct you to the appropriate text, I am skipping all details because this is written very well and in complete detail in many many places. Look at the classical electrodynamics text of your choice, and you'll find it (I like the discussion in Griffiths book which includes all of the above including all details). If you have more specific questions, I'd be happy to answer. In any event, you don't need to discuss either classical or quantum fields, spin and the Dirac equation, or anything like that (which is why this things are not mentioned in those textbooks).

I am having trouble relating the two definitions of $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^\times$, the collection of residue classes having a multiplicative inverse in $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$; and apparently, $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^\times$ is a pretty important subset of $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ (please don't tell me what it is though, I'd like to know it myself!)
The "standard" definition (so-to-speak) goes something like this: $$(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^\times=\{ \bar{a}\in\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z : \exists \bar{c}\in \mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z ~\text{ where } \bar a . \bar c=\bar 1\}$$ The other one, the one that I am having trouble with, is this: $$(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^\times=\{ \bar{a}\in\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z : \gcd(a,n)=1\}$$
So how come that these two things are the same? Even more so, how do I prove that these two definitions are the same thing?
Any help is much Appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

Data Group Ends Peeks After Leaks
WASHINGTON—A private-sector group that produces a leading consumer-confidence survey is suspending its practice of giving media organizations an early preview because it fears the information may be leaking to traders before the public.
The Conference Board, which produces the survey, said Thursday it instead will publish some of its economic indicators, including the monthly consumer-confidence survey, simultaneously on its website and through a news release.
The move is one of the biggest cracks thus far in the traditional way in which private organizations and governmental agencies release market-moving economic data to the public. Previously, the organization had given a 30-minute peek to a small group of journalists who used the head-start to digest the often complicated results and prepare reports.
The advent of high-speed computerized trading has pushed investors to seek market-moving information a fraction of a second before their competitors. To meet this demand, many media organizations, including Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co., have set up systems to feed data directly into traders' computers, allowing elite investors to trade on the information ahead of the broader public.
That development, combined with recent instances of suspicious trading ahead of media embargoes, has prompted a broad re-evaluation of how this data is disseminated.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Securities and Exchange Commission are examining suspicious trading in the moments before the release of economic indicators from several U.S. government agencies, including the Commerce Department and Treasury Department.
In a page-one article last week, the Journal reported that traders can buy advanced looks at some market-moving economic indicators produced by private-sector entities. Often, the users of these services are high-speed trading firms.
A consumer-confidence survey produced by the University of Michigan is released two seconds early to traders willing to pay Thomson Reuters Corp. TRI -0.45 % $5,000 a month plus a $1,025 connection charge. Thomson Reuters pays the University of Michigan for the right to exclusively distribute the indicator. Thomson Reuters in a statement last week said it is "open and transparent about how data is released but always looks for ways to improve this transparency further."
Jon Spector, the Conference Board's president and chief executive, said the move came after the group explored ways to make money from its survey and concluded there was no way to do so fairly.
"We basically became concerned that while it might be perfectly legal to monetize the data in certain ways, that it could contribute to the perception that the playing field wasn't level," Mr. Spector said.
"Particularly now, maybe more than ever before, we think that the public trust in the financial markets is something we should be building on, not undercutting," he said.
Mr. Spector said the decision was made three weeks ago. The recent Journal report "confirmed our decision," he said.
The group currently sells historical data to subscribers, but releases new data free of charge.
The Conference Board's data has been released early a number of times in recent years. Two years ago, News Corp.'s Dow Jones accidentally released Conference Board data 10 minutes early by pressing the wrong button on a publishing system, Dow Jones confirmed.
Earlier this week, Dow Jones told the Conference Board it had inadvertently released the Consumer Confidence Index early on several occasions in the past several months. Dow Jones's computerized clock had been out of sync with the Atomic Clock, the official clock used by the publisher, a Dow Jones editor told the group.
In a written statement, Dow Jones said a variety of data had been released early to customers of a news feed primarily for high-speed trading.
"A malfunction in a timing device and its fail-safe system caused some economic-indicator data to be prematurely released by a fraction of a second to some Dow Jones [news feed] customers," the statement said, adding that the company has "taken corrective measures."
A bug in vendor software that auto-corrects the time led to the early release of data between May 2 and June 17, according to a person familiar with the matter. Dow Jones's explanation came after the Conference Board made its decision to change how it distributes the data.
Mr. Spector said the group would begin discussion with media companies about ways to resume the embargo, but that some options, such as the lockup rooms used by government organizations, don't make sense for the nonprofit group.
"These issues come up from time to time," said Gail Fosler, a former president of the Conference Board who worked there for two decades. "Every few years somebody just can't restrain themselves and jumps the gun and reports it early."
In Washington, various federal agencies have their own methods of releasing market-sensitive data to the public. Last year, the Labor Department tightened its rules for how it releases its embargoed economic reports, such as the monthly unemployment figures.
Worried that government data was leaking early, the Labor Department rebuilt its press room to block electronic communications, and required reporters enter the room through a metal detector.
The department also barred reporters from publications that it deemed weren't "primarily journalistic enterprises."
Other agencies haven't made major changes in the way they release economic data.
The Conference Board is one of dozens of private entities that produce and disseminate their own economic indicators. Its consumer-confidence survey is closely monitored by investors in part because its survey is based on 5,000 respondents.
The mood of consumers is considered crucial to future economic growth because content consumers are more likely to spend money. The Consumer Confidence Index has been produced since 1967.

Even judges enjoy double standards
Suppose a white Superior Court judge had driven drunk, struck an occupied state police cruiser, identified himself as a judge to intimidate the arresting officers, hurled racist abuse at one of them, and had been suspended from his job for 240 days by the Judicial Review Council. Suppose a few years later, the council found the judge guilty of a second incident of misconduct — negligence in failing to rule on child custody cases for more than a year, even after being prodded about them.
The Judicial Review Council probably would remove him from office, concluding he was hateful and corrupt and had a drinking problem that was impairing his work and disgracing the judiciary. If the council didn't remove him, the legislature probably would.

With plenty of wagging tails, more than two dozen neglected dogs have a new home at the Logan County Humane Society.
"When we first got here and started feeding them they just were going at each other trying to get the food, but now they calmed down. They've actually put on some weight and they look a lot better," says shelter director Kathy Maddox.
The changes in the dogs are dramatic. In just a week and a half a once chained, malnourished dog, is now healthy and active.
26 neglected dogs were rescued from a home in Logan County after an anonymous tip.
It's still a long road ahead for the rescued animals. Two of the dogs have tested positive for heart worms. A possible deadly condition.
"Yeah it's very serious and very expensive to treat but we feel confident we are going to be able to save them. I mean it's not a guarantee it could go either way, but we are definitely going to do our best," says Maddox.
In an interview with the homeowner accused of animal neglect from March 1, Sammy Boyd told WBKO the amount of dogs he had wasn't a problem.
"Instead of taking them to the animal shelter and they turn them down they need a place where it's a little bigger, better area. The state needs to step in and make a bigger place for them," said Boyd.
But the humane society disagrees.
"This is obviously the best place for those dogs. You've seen the condition they were in. We do a good job here. We do the best we can and everybody is fed well and taken care of and treats handed out. I just don't agree with him," says Maddox.
The rescued dogs, which include two litters of puppies, will remain at the Humane Society for a few more weeks before they can be adopted by the public.
A fund has been setup for the rescued animals. To learn more visit the Logan County Humane Society website by clicking the link below.

Do those $0.99 mini bluetooth adapters work?
I want to get one for my computer to use my bluetooth head phones. Anybody have any experience with them? I've seen them from meritline among other deal websites. Thanks
9 Answers answer
I have one from when they were $6.99 and my laptop didn't have built-in bluetooth. It worked as expected and I didn't wear it out before it got retired to a bag of adapters I hardly ever use, (I used it a couple of laptops ago).
@misry: did you just pop it in and it just connected? or was there software needed to install?
I've bought a few from Meritline on sale and they've been generally trouble free, but it seems like the more you spend, the more consistent they are.
@misry: You meant to say "retired to a Bag Of Connectors," right?
I've used several and all work, though finding drivers for a specific application can be a PITA (in particular, finding drivers for stereo BT headsets can be a challenge with the older adaptors).
The $0.99 ones I've gotten from Meritline and the like work well (even with various stereo BT headsets) though I don't use them all that much. I don't recall any problem finding drivers for them (they come with nothing).
A Kensignton (sp?) one that a friend gave to me (and that probably cost $20 originally) was a major PITA to find drivers for and using the $0.99 one was much easier in the long run.
Picked one up from Meritline, it worked well for about a month and then stopped working. I guess for the price can't complain to much but did not last long.
Same here, I bought a cheap one that has served its purpose.
You get what you pay for. YMMV. :)
I've had a few from Meritline, all have worked without issue on various desktops and laptops, with headsets and file transfers from my phones.

I'm going bananas trying to geocode addresses into a NAD1983.
I have ArcMap 10.1 and I'm using the default address locator (North American 10.0 from arcgis online). No matter how low I set the sensitivity, it gives me "There was an error trying to process this table" when I specifically choose NAD1983. If I allow it to create the X,Y coordinates in WGS1984, then I get coordinates...BUT my other coordinates (I'm going to measure distance/proximity) are in NAD1983.
Any suggestions? I can't figure out how to change them from WGS1984 to NAD1983 when they're in a layer, although I have changed the data frame successfully it seems...
Any guidance is very appreciated!

CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has the opportunity to take the state in a "bold" new direction, Senate President Jeff Kessler believes.
"After tough election cycles, we have chosen our leaders," Kessler, D-Glen Dale, said. "Gov. Tomblin now is placed in a position where he doesn't have to worry about re-election, and he can make some tough - possibly unpopular - decisions. He is in a position where he can do some bold things without retribution. The state is poised to do great things under his leadership."
Kessler, who succeeded Tomblin as Senate president, termed Monday's inauguration "dignified and befitting."
"It was not over the top," he said. "It was the third time in three years he was sworn in and inaugurated, so it was not flamboyant. Given the austere times, there was a cutback in terms of expense and size. It was a good symbolic show of leadership."
Del. Randy Swartzmiller, D-Hancock, said he was encouraged that in his speech Tomblin spoke on education matters, and how Marcellus and Utica shale reserves are starting to improve the economy.
"He touched on the element of what's to come in the state, and the uncertainty of how things are going to go," Swartzmiller said. "Democrats and Republicans are seeing unity and that we're not that far apart. We just need to sit down at the table and find common ground."
State Sen. Robert "Rocky" Fitzsimmons, D-Wheeling, was appointed by Tomblin in late December. Monday's inauguration was the first Fitzsimmons had witnessed.
"It was really interesting to see the democratic process, and the peaceful transfer of power," he said. "West Virginia has a lot going for it with Marcellus shale drilling, and hopefully we can work to diversify our economy."
Del. Phillip Diserio, D-Brooke, added he also had not been to an inaugural event before.
"I was very impressed," he said. "I thought Gov. Tomblin's accolades to Sen. Rockefeller were very nice. The House is ready to go to work for the Northern Panhandle and hopefully for the state as a whole."
Del. Mike Ferro, D-Marshall, said Tomblin did an "exceptional job" in his speech.
"He talked of past accomplishments and his plans for the future of the state," Ferro said.
State Sen. Jack Yost, D-Wellsburg, said Tomblin's comments that he would work to "protect coal" and "get Congress off our backs" brought a positive response from those present.
"The last couple of years have been a constant turmoil for him," Yost said. "We're going to see the real Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin now that the campaigning is over."
