I'm fixing a software defect that occurs 1 in n test runs. If I want to know that the probability of it being fixed is >= p for some 0 <= p < 1, how many times, m, do I need to run the test successfully (without the defect occurring)?

Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
According to my statistics final which I took yesterday, the answer should be
I guess $m>\log(1-p)/\log(1-1/n)$ works since the probability of a faulty system running $m$ times without defect is $(1-1/n)^m$ and this should be smaller than $1-p$.
This seems to be a homework type question (and moreover an easy one) rather than a MO-question.
If your problem was a little bit more difficult (roland-bacher already provided an easy, precise and correct solution) and your $n$ is big, you can also approximate the binomial distribution by a Poisson distribution. Repeating the test $m$ times gives then the parameter $\lambda = \frac{m}{n}$ and your goal is that $m$ is big enough that $e^{-\lambda}\ge 1-p$. So $m \ge -n\ln(1-p)$. The approximation by the Poisson distribution is pretty good, for $n = 500$ and $p = 0.99$ it yields $m > 2302.585$ instead of the correct $m > 2300.28$ given by roland-bacher's formula.

Sencha Support?
So we currently have a mobile web app built with jQm but it has so many bugs that we are looking to move to another framework. We have been researching sencha touch and it looks very reliable and like a good solution. However, I have noticed by many articles on the web and from my own experience that trying to get a response from anyone at sencha is quit impossible.
While playing around with the demo user interface in the forms, I noticed that I was able to disable the form fields yet I could still check and uncheck all the check boxes. I went to the contact us page to report this and never received a response. A potential customer of the premium support that does not get a response from the contact us form is not a very easy feeling. I don't feel like registering for a forum just to report a bug that should have already been noticed since it is part of their online demo.
By not receiving a response this makes me hesitant to recommend Sencha Touch as our platform and for the company to dish out $300 for support that we will probably never get a response from.
After reading this article http://interfacethis.com/2011/advent...tml5-part-one/ I noticed that I am not the only one to not get responses back.
I think it is great you don't require a license for commercial products to use your platform however it makes us second guess on where this platform is headed and will it be supported in the future because we cannot even get a simple fix.
It also makes me question about this product because there is no customer bug tracking system. We have to use the forums to follow and report bugs. That is a hassle...
Anyways... Just thought I would rant about my frustrations for a first time potential sencha customer.
7 Sep 2011 1:09 PM #2
I enjoy the Sencha Touch framework. With it I've been able to create some pretty interesting (and fun) solutions to clients needs.
I'm frustrated, too, by my efforts this year to get a major bug fixed in the framework:
Sencha has so much promise, but if they are having challenges supporting even the above basic functionality, I'll have to consider other frameworks myself.
Good luck.
7 Sep 2011 2:19 PM #3
Yea I noticed a bug that is about a year old with 3 pages of replies and still no resolution. Makes me think Sencha is a dying product.

I agree, response in the standard forum is sub-par; however, if you have a gold subscription, you can post in the Sencha Premium Forums and you'll get a response there, most of the time, a useful one
7 Sep 2011 2:59 PM #5
This is not acceptable for a company. Being able to test the waters for support before we pay $300 would be nice. Simply trying to contact the company to notify them of a bug and receiving no responses is unacceptable. After browsing through the bugs forum I noticed most of the bugs reported go untouched without any developer response. Switching our application to Sencha and not being able to get bugs fixed would hurt our business. Making users pay to get any type of reply on a bug is just bad business. Of course if we were to invest in moving to sencha we would of course purchase the support package, however I do not think we will migrate to sencha after doing more research.
Playing with the demo on both android and iphone I see many bugs and after a week and a half of reporting one and not getting a response it makes me think that this platform is not for our company.
8 Sep 2011 11:06 AM #6
The community forums are a venue for the entire community to help each other out as people try to create applications. Sencha Touch is a free commercial product and we have hundreds of thousands of people using it to create applications. Sencha folks participate actively, but there's no guarantee that you'll get a response to a question even if you're asking them "the right way" (ie. have done work to try to solve the problem yourself, checked that it's not a duplicate, post relevant source code and phrase your question politely).
We do look at all the bug reports in the forums and transfer them to the internal bug system. We prioritize the bugs and fix them according to a sane prioritization scheme ("does it crash the browser" .. all the way to .. "minor thing that's sort of slow in one browser"). There is no guarantee that any particular bug will be fixed in any particular release, particularly if there is a workaround, but we look at the number and heat of posts against a particular bug and that factors into the fix order.
Our sales contact form is not supposed to be used for bug reports, and I apologize if it gives that impression - that's what the bug forums are for. We literally get hundreds of questions a day into that contact form, we try to get to as many of them as we can. If we didn't get to yours then we apologize.
Neither the general forum nor the sales contact form has a Service Level Agreement. That's where, if you purchase a support contract, we guarantee that we will get back to you within a certain time. Our goal is that our support ticket responses which come with a service level agreement are timely and helpful.
I hope this helps address some of the issues you talk about above.
8 Sep 2011 1:37 PM #7
Sorry mmullany but you are expecting potential customers to just "Trust" that you are good on your word that you will provide support only if they pay. When they see almost no interaction with regular users let alone zero interaction with regular users submitting bugs to make the product better it makes a potential client think that maybe sencha is not the solution for them.
Regardless of the paying status all bugs should be addressed and at least replied to letting the user know that you are atleast acknowledging you are aware of the issue and not just ignoring the issue.
Also regardless of if a user sends in a bug to the sales team they should receive a reply stating that the bug is being forwarded to the development team. The reasoning behind this is your demo page has numerous bugs in them for both the android and iphone platform. How do you expect me to sell to the rest of the development team here that they should overlook the demo page bugs and just trust that the issues will be resolved if we pay $300. So if I was a potential customer and emailed the sales team and were to receive a reply back I would know for a fact that you have good customer service and are willing to go beyond the norms of your duties to make sure my bug reaches the appropriate location. Ignoring a potential customer just because they didn't pay $300 is absurd.
Also a bug tracking system for the public is needed instead of using forums to manage bug requests. I would like to know the status of the bugs and what resolution is taking place to resolve them. Seeing a bug in the forums that a bunch of people have that is 3 pages long and has 0 staff replies scares me. It makes me think that Sencha will only pay attention to people that pay to report bugs which will limit the amount of bugs that actually get worked on. I would much prefer sencha take 10 minutes to take a look at a bug from a non paying member than to just ignore it and help me because I pay, knowing that I will most likely encounter that bug in the future.
These are all just suggestions on how to improve customer experience as when I first saw sencha touches potential I was impressed, but after doing research and seeing that I cannot even get some of the demo pages to work and will not get any help getting YOUR OWN demo pages to work so we can pitch it to our team without having to pay $300 on a product we might or might not go with is shocking.
If we would have received responses about submitting bugs on your own demo page I have no doubt we would have gone with Sencha Touch and paid for support. But knowing that it is impossible for non paying users to submit bugs to help out the quality of the product for the paying members, it will be a hard time getting everyone on board.
Please look into free bug tracking software so that users can see that their bugs are atleast assigned and being looked at instead of seeing no staff replies to their forum threads for over a year.

Hi, jostster.
Thanks for your comments. You made several good points and let me try to respond to some of them.
First, on the issue of the value of purchasing Support, when you purchase Support you are entitled to several other avenues into Support. One, as mentioned by Juanito, is access to Sencha's Premium Forums. This section of the Forums are available exclusively to Support subscribers and tend to be monitored more frequently by Sencha staff and customers. This is also a great resource to search to see if an issue has already been addressed.
Also, as a subscriber to Sencha Support, you will have access to a Sencha Portal account where you can file tickets directly with the Sencha Support team. Your tickets receive individual attention and have targeted response times.
The second issue that you brought out is how forum posts seem to go unanswered. Yes, and I could try to offer an explanation for that but in the final analysis none of them would be sufficient because I didn't like what I saw on the bug forums either. All I can say is that Sencha is serious about building up its Support. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be here.
I left a good job at a well known company to join the Sencha team a month ago tasked with building out the Sencha Support offering. We're serious about Support at Sencha. If we weren't, Sencha wouldn't have created this position and I certainly wouldn't have joined.
But, as our products and company have grown so fast, we definitely have some challenges that I am committed to resolving. I agree we've got a big hole in the bug forums but we have good plans in place to make up that ground. Change won't happen overnight. But while everyone's individual perspective might be different, from a big picture standpoint things are already getting better in many areas as we are executing on our plans to support our rapidly growing customer base.
I feel good about the direction of this company and the direction of the Sencha Support offering. I don't expect to sway your opinion with just a few short paragraphs. In the end, you need to do what you think is best for your development team. But, I just wanted to let you know that your concerns are understood, to tell you that changes are already taking place, and make sure you knew that your Support experience with a Support subscription should be, by design, much different than your Support experience without it.
Oh. And on the issue of the bug tracking system that customers can access to see the status of their bugs? Seems to me like everyone would win with that one. I think that's come up several times already on these forums and I've got it on my wishlist as well. I hope to make it so.
Thanks again for your comments and giving us a chance to respond.

(new) Sencha Support Manager

As a Sencha Touch user since Sept of last year and a paid support customer since June of this, I'm sorry to report that I can't honestly recommend paying for support at this time.
The people at Sencha seem to be nice people, but to date they have over-promised time and time again. I think they're trying to do too much with too little. I also think they sometimes make poor choices on resource allocation (e.g. the Sencha-fication of the forum software, which brought along numerous bugs, rather than spending the same resources on support instead). Sometimes I feel like I've had to pull teeth to simply get them to follow through on things they've already promised me (e.g. SVN access that has code updated more frequently than months ago).
Contrary to what was posted above, I have not found the premium support forum to be very useful (perhaps the Ext one is much better than the Sencha Touch one). Sometimes someone (usually Mitchell) will pop in and answer question after question. Sometimes it will sit for days or weeks with not a word from the staff. This is especially true if they are working on a new build of the product. They don't have enough personnel to do both support and development.
You'll probably hear "we're hiring support and soon all will be much better" and that very well may be true. But I've heard this exact same response over and over again from day 1. You can search the forums a bit and find a history of it. I'd say check back again in six months to a year and see if anything has actually changed before spending a minimum of $300. As it stands right now, I run into bugs in the framework on a daily basis that cause me to need to ask questions. My $300 buys me 4 questions. That really just doesn't help at all. Maybe if they had an official policy that a support ticket that was a result of a workaround in either the bugs or the docs would be guaranteed to be refunded, I'd use that system more. But as it stands I would have burned through those 4 questions the same afternoon if I used them for the kind of questions I need to ask.
So play with Sencha Touch now, but try not to put yourself in the situation where your success depends on it. Hold off on support until the support is there or the code and docs are brought up to a level where you need support for your mistakes, not theirs.
I apologize in advance to any Sencha employees that are hurt by my comments. I know it must seem I have it out for you or something, but I feel I have to give my honest assessment of the situation based on my own experiences. I think you have a great start on a fantastic product and you're very far ahead of the competition. I wish for nothing more than your success.

For Greece to escape a slow death (austerity programme) or a sudden death (exit from the euro), a massive European aid plan would be needed to rebuild the Greek economy and create jobs, a plan that is unlikely at present, and very different from the present bailout which merely finances debt servicing on Greek government bonds held by public investors.
The logic of the adjustment programme for Greece: Slow death
Even if Greece and the Troika renegotiate the adjustment programme, its fundamental characteristics will remain the same:
· a restrictive fiscal policy to eliminate the fiscal deficit;
· a fall in wages to improve competitiveness and reduce domestic demand, until Greece's external deficit disappears.
The main idea of the adjustment programme is that Greece's domestic demand exceeds its production capacity, thereby generating a structural external deficit. So Greeks "are living beyond their means", with a rise in living standards far exceeding growth in production capacity, and it is therefore legitimate to reduce domestic demand both through a restrictive fiscal policy and wage cuts.
The fall in wages could also bring about an improvement in competitiveness, hence an improvement in foreign trade, but its main objective is to reduce domestic demand and imports.
The problem with this approach is that:
· it is showing its ineffectiveness: despite the decline in domestic demand, the current-account deficit has declined little; due to the shortfall in activity, public finances are no longer improving;
· its cost in terms of jobs and purchasing power is gigantic. Greece is a country in which the weight of industry is very small and where, as a consequence, the disproportion between imports and exports is very great.
A substantial decline in purchasing power in Greece is therefore needed to eliminate the external deficit, with a further fall of about 30% in real wages. Purchasing power would have to be brought back to the level of the early 1990s to balance the current account, and this is of course rejected by the population. The fundamental problem is twofold:
· even if there is a fall in wages, the improvement in price-competitiveness is limited by price stickiness;
· since the size of industry is small, the adjustment must be achieved mainly through a fall in imports, hence a decline in income.
Exit from the euro and devaluation: Sudden death
Faced with this prospect of a "slow death" due to the austerity programme, Greeks could decide to leave the euro and devalue. But in that case the shock would be sudden and terrible, because there would be both:
· a rise in import prices;
· an obligation to eliminate the external deficit, because no one (neither the private sector nor the public sector) would any longer lend to Greece;
· a weak positive impact of the gain in competitiveness, due to the small size of industry.
Greece would default on its gross external debt, and would therefore no longer have to service that debt, which is positive (it would gain six percentage points of GDP in interest payments on external debt). But the rise in import prices would even further exacerbate the foreign trade imbalance, while the potential for external borrowing would disappear. There would inevitably have to be a reduction in domestic demand to restore the foreign trade balance despite the rise in import prices, hence inevitably a collapse in imports in volume terms.
This is reminiscent of the process in Argentina, in similar circumstances, in the early 2000s: a collapse of activity following the huge devaluation, the need to switch to a current-account surplus which required dividing imports by three - hence a collapse in the real wage due to imported inflation, and in domestic demand and employment.
From 2003 onwards, there was a sharp improvement in Argentina's situation, but it is important to remember that it had considerable structural advantages by comparison with Greece at present:
· substantial weight of industry (22% of jobs);
· before the crisis, exports and imports of the same size;
· a smaller current-account deficit to reduce (five percentage points of GDP).
The shock would be far more violent and prolonged for Greece.
So what would be the solution for Greece?
We have seen that Greece is at present offered two solutions:
· a "slow death", through a stifling of the economy via the austerity plan, even if it is softened down;
· a "sudden death", if there is an exit from the euro and devaluation.
In either case, gradually or suddenly, there must be a substantial decline in purchasing power to eliminate the external deficit which is no longer financeable. For Greece to escape this dreadful choice, Europe's aid would have to be allocated not to debt servicing on Greece's government bonds held by public investors (EFSF, ECB) - which in and of itself is an incredible situation where Europe is borrowing in order to pay to itself the servicing of the Greek debt it holds - but to help rebuild the Greek economy and create jobs, which is definitely not being done at present.

Charlotte golf put up the squad's best finish of the young season with a third-place finish at the Tar Heel Invitational after a final round 10-over par 298 at the UNC Finley Course in Chapel Hill. Freshman Dan Hendry (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) finished his second collegiate tournament with a one-under 71 to end his weekend tied for fourth among all individuals at three-under par. He was one of just nine individuals to finish under par for the three rounds over the weekend.
Charlotte entered the final round in a tie for second at one-under with the host Tar Heels at the tournament.
"We just never really got a whole lot going today to make a move, but overall, it was a good week for our guys," said Charlotte head coach Ryan Cabbage. "I am obviously very proud of Dan Hendry with his finish and Joe Toland, after bogeying the first four holes of the tournament to come back and have a nice showing. And credit to Daniel Brantley for his first collegiate tournament. Overall, it was a good week for our guys and I feel like it was a good week we can build on. We still have some work to do and we look forward to I as we get ready for our next action in two weeks, but
Freshman Daniel Brantley (Asheboro, N.C.) saw his score post for all three days of his first collegiate tournament, with a consistent 73-71-75 for a three-over 219 and a tie for 21st place.
Junior Joe Toland (White River Junction, Vt. / Hartford HS) was Charlotte's second-best performer of the weekend, with a one-over 217, to finish in a tie for 12th in the 81-player tournament field.
The 49ers will take a week out of competition to get ready for the Rees Jones Invitational, starting Monday, October 1 at the Haig Point Club in Daufuskie Island, S.C.

I know 也 only as "also", but I see it now and then used in ways difficult to understand, especially in some negative statements. Why is this so? Does 也 also have some meaning not mentioned in dictionaries which is used in these cases?

什麼都 can be used in both positive and negative statements while 什麼也 is usually used in negative statements. So, instead of focusing on the usage of 也 here, 什麼都 and 什麼也 can be regarded as phrases which are sometimes used interchangeably.
For example:
One possible translation:
So, it's ok to say (although the above example would read better):
but odd to say:
The meaning of the original expression is "I have nothing." But Chinese gets there in a "strange," way.
A more literal translation of the expression is "Everything not have." The "everything" is rendered by "什麼都," which literally translates to "whatever all."
什麼也 gets to the same place in a slightly different way. I would translate it as "whatever included." And a literal translation would be "whatever included, not have," instead of "whatever all" not have.

NEW CUMBERLAND - The Hancock County Sheriff's Office is seeking help from the public to locate two individuals suspected of committing several area daytime burglaries.
In a press release issued Wednesday, Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said, in recent weeks, daytime burglaries have occurred in the areas of Allison Road, Frankfurt Road, Pleasant Hills and Lyons Road.
Fletcher said several witnesses have come forward describing a late 1990s to early 2000s silver and black truck with a cap and Ohio license plate. Fletcher said witnesses also have described the truck as having one tire differing from the rest.
Two individuals have been reported as being involved, according to Fletcher, with witnessing reporting seeing a Caucasian female driver with dark hair, and a Caucasian male, believed to be in his 30s, also with dark hair.
"We believe these individuals are targeting jewelry boxes, but are also opportunists," Fletcher said, noting other items of significant value have also been reported missing.
Hancock County Sheriff's Office officials are advising the public not to approach the individuals or the vehicle if it is seen, but requested calls be made to report any suspicious activity or sightings of the vehicle and the individuals.
"We don't know who these people are or if they are violent," Fletcher added. "We are asking the public to pay attention and be vigilant. Look out for your property and your neighbors' by notifying the Sheriff's Office immediately if you see anything."
Information can be submitted to the Hancock County Sheriff's Office at 304-564-3911.

BOWLING GREEN, KY -- The Bowling Green Police say around 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 11, a customer shopping inside Kroger on the ByPass was approached by two women.
One of the women began asking about a certain type of bread. While the customer was distracted, the other woman stole the customer's wallet out of her purse.
The victim soon realized her troubles were just beginning. Her credit card was used at Walmart to buy debit cards which have been used in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Has anyone come across a free web service / REST API to transform coordinates?
I'm particularly interested in transforming from WGS84 to: New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000 / NZTM) and New Zealand Geodetic Datum 1949 (NZGD1949 / NZMG). Would be a bonus if I could also get the grid version of coordinates as well.
Perhaps there's a JavaScript / C# library out there that I can use and host my own service?
Apologies if I'm slightly out with my terminology - I'm still a little green to GIS.
Thanks in advance for any advice, Gavin

I have a vegetable garden that bugs just love. Since my family is going to eat these vegetables (and I'd prefer that the bugs do not), what organic pesticide is most effective? The main culprits are aphids and cabbage loopers (or inch worms) though any pesticide that targets critters that eat leafy vegetables would be helpful.
I'm having good results with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), but I don't think aphids are listed on the label as being controlled by it. The main problem I'm solving with Bt is cabbage loopers.
Wikipedia says:
Aphids are order Hemiptera, so it doesn't look like Bt will work on them. I have heard of using tomato leaf or garlic oil spray to control aphids, but haven't had to try either. See this page for recipes, or google around.
I have found that a soap solution works really well - and it is safe! If used promptly, it is also effective in ridding broad beans of blackfly.
I've used neem tree oil mixed with organic dish soap on edible container grown fruits and veggies and have always had good luck. Neem oil is edible but you'd probably want to wash your fruits/vegetables before eating because the oil is quite bitter.
I use pyretheum. Is it organic enough for your needs? Depends. Back in the UK "pyretheum" is the 'natural' variant made from chrysanthenums (and the one I used to go for); and "pyrethins" are the synthetic equivalent. But here in the US there does not appear to be any distinction and everything is labeled "pyrethin" plus various claims to being a natural pesticide.
Pyretheums are particularly good for delicate plants (I've used them on carnivorous plants - don't laugh!, but hear they're also good for orchids) and veg/fruit. Even though they break down quickly, you would still wash the fruit of course.
My wife (an ecology Univ.Prof.) usually swears by soap solution for aphids, although I haven't seen her use it.
My housemate suggests using black tea (cooled!) and spraying it on the leaves that have aphids on.
I cannot find a cite for this! However, I did find an Aphid repellent tea which looks interesting.
Also, there's some interesting information on companion plants that will help against aphids, here.
I use neem seed oil effectively. From the wikipedia article (emphasis not in original):
While not the pesticide you asked for, you might consider a pest management plan that entices ladybugs to settle in and combat your aphids. Even "organic" pesticides can be high profile pesticides and kill many beneficial organisms.
In Indonesia we use the product "Samro biocide", which is a multipurpose, organic pesticide for nematodes, fungi, bacteria and insects, with special funcion as growth recovery. This product is basically made from a herb extract and is modified from herbal medicine with growth recovery, because it contains antibacterial and antimicrobial substances including antibiotics and immunomodulators. The materials are more than 20 original secret Java herbs extracts (from nimbi, java turmeric, small gooseberry, ginger, black turmeric, bitter grape etc.) obtained by taking liquid secondary metabolites of certain parts.

Are you interested in joining the Wootizen Merry Crapmas BOC Exchange?!
After months of waiting, I feel the time is appropriate to begin setting up the next Wootizen BOC Exchange. I am beginning this now because I want to make sure there is ample time to work through all the logistics and make sure we don't leave people behind. The likely beginning date, when people will get the go-ahead to begin sending out packages, will likely be on Dec 28th.
My goal is to have all of the names and addresses of individuals by Fri. Dec 21st so I don't have to worry about setting this up during family time. This will also allow individuals a week to come up with their gift and incorporate "re-gifting" if they so desire.
Step 1: Email email@example.com with just your Full Name and your woot ID by DEC 14th.
Step 2: You will receive an informational email on DEC 15th. If you are still interested in joining the exchange after reading the terms and conditions. You will email me again with the specifics outlined in the email.
46 Answers answer
Step 3: Around Dec 21st you will receive a wootizen's name, wooter id, and street address. (more information pertaining to crap regulations will be given at a later date)
Step 4: Send your wootizen white elephant BOC to your wootizen.
Step 5: Wait patiently to receive your crap in the mail.
Step 6: Love the wootizen community!
Emails and woot "ask the community" questions will be utilized in order to maintain communications and provide information regarding the exchange.
IF you have any suggestions or ideas for the exchange, PLEASE provide them. Merry Crapmas.
Email sent. Count me in!
Also I don't know if this was brought up at all last time, but STAFF is definitely allowed to join. Come one, come all.
Yep. Elephants are too expensive to ship and break the rule against "living" things, but I am in anyway.
AND...a big thanks for your effort. It is appreciated.
Thanks for organizing such a fun event for the holidays!
Must send e-mail! I'm so in for this!
Greatest way EVER to clean out my excess stuff!
@inkycatz: My pleasure. Are you or any other staff interested in joining up this time!? Because you totally should!
Yay! Totally in :) I had hopes of organizing the next one, but life got in the way so thanks for stepping up. Maybe I'll be in a better place logistically in a couple months so I can take on the challenge then.
You said white elephant and I immediately thought of the common steal "someone else's or pick a new one" and wondered how that would work. I'm glad it is just a regular BOC exchange like before.
I'm moving so I have been through all my stuff recently and found plenty to put in for a some (un)lucky recipient. Count me in.
I've missed the last couple, but did participate in the original one from the Deals side (I think it was the first...) I still play with a couple toys from that one - including my mini thinking-slinky.
Email sent :)
YES!! THANK YOU!! I've been building a BOC hoping for an exchange opportunity! GOOD TIMES!!
Awesome effort, count me in for the Crapmas Exchange!
Count me in again...thanks for planning this!
@chellemonkey: No worries, tattled to change the name to remove any confusion :)
I will play. Plenty of crap lying around to bestow. Email on its way.
In this round again. Had a blast last round. Thanks for putting this together!
@studerc: I'm not in, but we'll see what the others think! :)
In on one?
sent over the email, but reiterating here. i'm in. I have so much random crap to give away it isn't funny :D. Can even send two well equipped boxes, if anyone drops out last minute.
Suggestion - might be too much to handle/organize, but can we take a basic list of likes/dislikes/family situation? For instance, if i knew the person i had for this, had children, i could totally pimp out that box with fun kid's stuff... vs if i knew my target recipient was a gamer, and so on and so forth. General guidelines, and completely optional type of thing.
I'm in and the email is on the way!
@goatcrapp: I agree that it would be helpful to have a little info about our recipients. Last time around I drew @baybei and snooped around her past comments and questions to find out more about her. I felt like a DW stalker, which was really rather fun. All I really found out about her was that she has cats, which would be obvious to anyone who reads her posts, especially since she has posted some pictures of them. If I had drawn someone who was less involved in the DW community, I might not have know even that much!
What does everyone think? Should we ask participants to provide just a few basic facts such as whether they have kids (Small, grade school, older, make, female.), pets (cats, dogs, flying monkeys), hobbies (sports, tech, crafts, gardening), or that kind of thing.
Too much?
I dunno, I'm conflicted. Firstly, having this information would allow us to create personalized BOCs that would appeal to our wootizen.
But on the other hand, doesn't that take away from the BOC experience? Just getting a random box filled with stuff. We'll see what others think, perhaps if people WANT to give a paragraph they can, but if they opt to not provide anything, they will just have to be content with what they get??
@studerc: LOL! Sorry to conflict you. AND sorry for trying to complicate things. Carp is carp and if no one wants to provide or use this kind of info, any unneeded carp can just be passed along the next time around. (Is "re-carping" a word? If not, I call dibs!)
Speaking of re-carping, I think I have a fruitcake around here someplace I can toss into a BOC.....
The last one was great. Email sent. I'm in!
I'll probably join in this time as well. I've already got a bit of crap laying around.
Question: Would it be appropriate to include stuff that we received in past wootizen BOCs if those items may be more of use to someone else? I got a couple things that I either already owned some version of, or had no use for at all. I'd like to just pass them down to someone else until we find someone who can use them.
And as far as giving info on ourselves, I rather like the randomness of sending random crap to a total stranger. If I pick the things I send based on what the recipient lists as things they like, it's not exactly a BOC.
@purplefeather: Absolutely keep the crap moving...sooner or later someone might actually get something that they sent somewhere else. I guess "recrapping" would be the current version of "regifting".
@purplefeather: I feel re-crapping is a part of it....sooner or later all crap will find a home and no longer be crap. Everyone will be crapless (crap-free?)
I'm in! I missed the last one, too much going on but I already started my pile waiting for one to start, so I can't wait, seemed like it was fun! Thanks studerc for all the effort!!
Yep, I'm in. You are a saint among, well, the less-sainted for taking this on; thanks!
Sounds like fun...
why not
This cowboy wants in.
Oh, yes, I am!
I missed it last time because i was busy with my move and felt bad. go ahead and count me in!
I'm in.
I'm in! I'll be sending my email tonight (when I have access to my home email account).
One thing I would suggest is to give a reasonably long window (a week plus the weekend) for sending the boxes. My thinking is that there are probably going to be people away from home for the holidays and possibly not able to send their boxes until the the first weekend in January. I know that I'm gone for over a week, won't be returning home until 31 Dec at the earliest. Then with the getting caught up from being gone and getting back to work and all of that it will probably be 4 January before I could send my box.
My email has been sent!
I have to go to the thrift shop to get the perfect white elephant gift. I saw it there last week and was a fool to not buy it.
Email sent! It was fun last time. Thanks for setting this up!
Just to let everyone know, we are currently at 38 participants for the Merry Crapmas BOC Exchange! I believe last time we had well over 50 so we still have a ways to go. Make sure to tell your friends!
@studerc: That's so cute that you think we all actually have friends!
I'm in!
I think I want to do this. Can we make it 'mandatory' to post what we received?
Is it 1 per household? My wife may want to too.
I agree with no personalization, this means I can pack a box now and have it ready when the 16th comes around.
@caffeine_dude: Truthfully, I believe that I (and the community) have enough pull to "heavily encourage" people to post their stuff, but by no means would it have to be mandatory, some people just forget and its not like we can penalize them or anything...
I actually like the idea of being able to send one or more packages and one or more people per household can participate. It may create a logistical nightmare for me when creating it, but I'll see what I can do. Perhaps it will be that if you want to send multiple packages you will have to receive multiple packages, and vice versa. That way everyone is accountable for sending one package to receive one package.
I think I'm going to make "personalization" optional. If people want to provide a paragraph to their sender about their interests, why not right? But it would in no way be a requirement for people to follow such guidelines.
I'm fiddling around with some other stuff, but more of that later :)
In for three.
But seriously, great idea! Thanks for organizing this!
I've already got a box going. Glad we're waiting until after Christmas, Lord knows what my mother-in-law will give me this year. One of her gifts went in the box last round.
Already in. Just reading the above posts and adding my two cents....
Personalization.....I am leaning toward no. Fun idea but takes away some randomness. Not against and I would lean toward things that might fit the profile if I did know a bit about the person.
At least a week and both weekends to mail....YES! It is a busy time for all. I will be at the post office every day but remembering to bring the darn thing with me, well.... (I work at the post office.)
Multiples to one address....Sure, send one get one, send two get two. I sent and received two last time because we had an odd number. It worked out good.
Re-crapping....Of course! That is part of the fun in the box. I think all that I mailed last time was re-crapped from one source or another.
@studerc: I can totally share, I would rather it go smoothly for you, and share.
forgot to mention that I am in

I have three accounts set up on my netbook, and the Jupiter applet installed to help with battery life. However, on my main account (my account) the Jupiter applet has a battery indicator next to it, as well as the regular battery icon next to the mail icon.
There is another "Administrator" account on the netbook, yet that account doesn't have the extra battery icon. Any idea why or how to fix it?

Oxford loses heartbreaker to Masuk, 28-21
OXFORD — Oh, so close.
By the slimmest of margins, Oxford High's Owen Diaz was ruled out of bounds on a diving catch in the right corner of the end zone Friday night on a fourth-down attempt with 49.7 seconds left in the game.
After two kneeldowns by Masuk, the sixth-ranked Panthers (4-0) had narrowly held on for a 28-21 victory over the Wolverines (2-2) in a South-West Conference football thriller.
On the final play for Oxford, quarterback Kyle Chudoba rolled to his left, then spun around at the sideline and lofted a pass to Diaz.
"I felt it was real close," said Diaz. "I thought I was inbounds. Kyle threw a great pass. It hurts. But I am proud of the whole team the way we kept fighting back. We'll bounce back from this next week (against Immaculate)."
Oxford wide receiver Chris VanKamerik (seven receptions, 112 yards) connected with Chudoba on touchdown passes of 41, 23 and 37 yards.
VanKamerk's third TD of the game came with 7.5 seconds left in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 21-19.
Chudoba then rolled to his left and found a wide-open Jeff Haney for the two-point conversion, tying the game at 21-21. That came on the heels of his diving interception at the line of scrimmage.
But the momentum was short-lived. P.J. Kokkoros split the Wolverines' secondary, and QB Malik Cummings hit him in stride with a 63-yard TD pass with 10:45 left in the game to break the tie. Kokkoros caught two TDs in the game and also ran for two others for the Panthers.
"It was a real good game," said VanKamerik. "We were lucky that we had an opportunity against a real good Top 10 team. We tried our best. When we tied the game, we felt like we were on top of the world. Our coaches did an excellent job of preparing us. We were down 21-7 at halftime, but we kept our cool. Kyle did a great job of getting me the ball. We all played real well."
Haney agreed, noting that the Wolverines have plenty of respect for the perennial South-West Conference power Panthers.
"Masuk played a great game, and so did we," said Haney. "I am proud that we were able to play with that caliber of team."
So was Oxford coach Joe Stochmal in his postgame huddle speech.
"Keep your heads up," Stochmal said. "By no means should you believe the season is lost. Don't think that, please! We have a lot of season left and we can run the table. But we have to go one game at a time."

HARROGATE, Tenn. – Using the strength of 13 hits, Anderson University baseball earned a key South Atlantic Conference victory over league-leading Lincoln Memorial, 13-5, Friday afternoon at LMU's Hennon Field.
With the win, the Trojans improve to an even 12-12 in SAC play, while the Railsplitters drop to 25-13-1 overall and 15-6 within the league. AU has now won six of its last eight contests and increased its SAC winning streak to three straight.
The Trojan lineup was paced by the bottom-half of their lineup as senior catcher Jonathan Zalud, who was slotted seventh, and designated hitter LJ Newman, who was eighth, were a combined 7-for-9 with a home run, two doubles, two RBI and six runs scored. Zalud finished the contest a perfect 4-for-4 with his seventh and eighth doubles of the year, while Newman blasted his second home run of the season in the sixth inning, closing the game 3-for-5.
Also posting multi-hit games was sophomore third baseman Garrett Bernardo with a double and two runs scored, while senior left fielder Nathan Galliford connected on his conference-leading 13th home run of the season in the top-half of the fifth inning. For the game, Galliford went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored.
Sophomores Kyle Bailey and Steven Cooper and junior Brett Cash also added doubles, while Bailey and Cooper drove home two runs apiece. Senior centerfielder Josh Hickman scored twice after drawing two walks.
On the mound, junior right-hander JT Trujillo went five innings and earned his fourth victory of the season allowing five hits and one earned run with four strikeouts. Sophomore reliever Mitchell Cooksey came into the game in the sixth and gave up a season-high six hits, but limited LMU to just three runs en route to his second save of the season.
The Trojans had at least one base runner in all but one inning for the ballgame, as Anderson has now totaled double figure hits in seven of its last nine contests. After the Railsplitters took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first, the visitors responded with two runs in the second inning as AU took advantage of a LMU miscue, which plated two runs.
With LMU evening the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the frame, Galliford's fifth inning homer handed Anderson a 4-2 advantage. Galliford, who is in a battle with Lincoln Memorial's Josh Coker for the conference's home run lead, grabbed the outright advantage and became the first player in the SAC this season to reach 13 round-trippers on the year.
Newman matched Galliford's home runs with one of his own in the sixth over the left-center wall, giving Anderson a 6-2 lead. In Newman's last three games, the designated hitter is batting .636 with three RBI and four runs scored.
LMU grabbed a run back in the sixth before the Black and Gold's marathon eighth inning that saw six runs on five hits. Bailey and Cooper headlined the inning with a pair of two-run doubles, while Galliford notched an RBI single to propel AU to a 12-3 lead. After AU added another run in the ninth, LMU's Kelvin Brito sent a Cooksey pitch over the left-center field wall to cut into the Anderson advantage, setting the final score.
Anderson seeks the conference series win on Saturday when the three-game series wraps up with a doubleheader at Hennon Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Louisiana Seafood Gumbo
Gumbos are a Creole specialty. Thick like stew, gumbos traditionally include seafood, okra, as well as other vegetables, such as tomato and onion, and meat, chicken, sausage, and ham — or any combination of these ingredients. This gumbo has a lot of seafood in it, but it contains a variety of other tasty ingredients, too.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Yield: 12 servings
2 large or 4 medium onions
1 bunch celery
2 bell peppers
7 to 8 garlic cloves
1/2 pound andouille
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound claw crabmeat
3 quarts warm shellfish stock, chicken broth, or vegetable broth
2 bunches green onions
Fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
Hot pepper sauce
1 pound large shrimp
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
2 dozen shucked oysters, reserve liquid
Chop the onions, celery, and bell pepper.
Dice the garlic.
Slice the andouille.
In a 7-quart cast-iron Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat.
After the oil is hot, add the flour.
Using a wire whisk, stir constantly until you have brown roux, about 7 minutes.
Add 2 cups onions, 1 cup celery, 1 cup bell pepper, and 1/4 cup garlic.
Sauté until the vegetables are wilted, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the andouille, blending well into the vegetable mixture.
Sauté 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the claw crabmeat and stir into the roux.
This will begin to add seafood flavor to the mixture.
Slowly add hot shellfish stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until all is incorporated.
Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook approximately 30 minutes.
Add additional stock, if necessary, to retain the volume.
Slice the green onions.
Chop the parsley.
Add 2 cups green onions and 1/2 cup parsley to the Dutch oven.
Season to taste using the salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
Peel and devein the shrimp.
Fold the shrimp, lump crabmeat, oysters, and reserved oyster liquid into the soup.
Return to a low boil and cook approximately 10 minutes.
Adjust seasonings and serve.
You can serve it over cooked rice.

I'm looking for a solution for doing 6x17 format shots with with my Canon 5D2, using a 35, 40, and 50 mm lens. My goal is to be able to repeatably shoot 6x17 ratio shots exactly. Any recommendations on which setup would best suit that? Will the RD16 Rotator work, or am I better of using the NN4?
Thank you!

Parissi said more than 44,000 people have so far used the system, which is accessible to those with library cards. He added the website also includes audio books, which can be downloaded for playback on portable mp3 players.
The e-library works just like loaning a book from the library, Parissi said, with a search engine for titles, authors and subjects on the website similar to the library's card catalog. The library has so many e-books it has the right to loan at any one time. If a book is being read by another patron, it can be reserved, and once it's available, the user will be notified by e-mail, Parissi said. Once notified the reader has three days to "check out" the book and up to three weeks to complete it. Some titles are always available, while others are for a limited number of viewings, he added.
"We have some books that are just for use with the Kindle," he said, adding the library purchases the licensing rights for the e-book to be read for a certain number of times. "We also have music on the site, although it's limited. We have movies, although they are limited to mostly documentaries, concerts and independent films."
Users also can purchase books through the library system, which raises revenue for the library, allowing it to purchase the rights to more e-books, said Parissi. The library also has a catalog of Disney-related books that are interactive and available all the time, he said.
The library also hosts "tech days," where patrons can call and reserve a time to learn about how to use the delivery systems from a library official at the Schiappa branch. Parissi said there is an added bonus to the system as well.
"You will never pay an overdue fine for an e-book," he said.

Does the data indicate that if you have one, the probability of you having the other is higher than that of someone who doesn't have the one?
It has been associated with polymorphisms with the CD4 gene, which is usually implicated in type I diabetes. The wikipedia article for vitiligo also mentions studies for the NALP1 gene. NALP1 is expressed at high levels in T cells and Langerhan cells, white blood cells that are involved in skin autoimmunity.

General Information
Information Technology Services (ITS) is implementing guidelines for replacing printers and multi-function printers (MFPs) on a five (5) year cycle as allowed by funding and as dictated by the University's lease agreement. Any copiers and printers that have been purchased or leased by University Copy & Graphics that are still in working order will not be replaced until they are no longer working or their contract expires. At that time, any replacement machines will be ordered through ITS.
The Printer Replacement Program guidelines will be modified from time to time at the discretion of ITS.
What is a multi-function printer (MFP)?
A multi-function printer (MFP) is a device that can reliably print, scan, copy, email, and fax at fast speeds and can seamlessly support multiple workflows with a robust paper handling capability.
Program Purpose
The overall purpose of the program is to ensure that printing resources on campus are up-to-date and efficient, as well as contributing to creating a cost-savings and sustainable environment across campus. The goals of the Printer Replacement Program (PRP) are to:
- Replace inefficient or outdated copiers, printers, scanners and fax machines with highly efficient units (MFPs) that support the University's Sustainability Initiative via energy, toner and paper use reduction;
- Desktop printers and fax machines will be replaced by the MFP
- Ensure that all departments on campus have access to a MFP with sufficient capability to support basic printing, copying, faxing, scanning/emailing needs in fulfillment of their work responsibilities;
- Ensure that printers and MFPs have sufficient capacity and compatibility to meet each department and school's operational needs;
- Implement minimum standards for printing resources on campus;
- Establish a centralized budget which provides basic printing resources for university employees, thereby providing relief to area budgets and reducing reliance on year-end surplus and current fund contingency;
- Establish a replacement program in order to upkeep and maintain technology at its optimal level
- Streamline the specification, acquisition, and deployment of new equipment and re-deployment or disposal of old equipment.
These guidelines shall apply to the replacement cycle for all printing at the University. Information Technology Services has authority and is responsible for the acquisition and support of MFPs and other printers.
Benefits of having an MFP
When a department acquires an MFP, there is no need to have other stand-alone and desktop printers, copiers or fax machines.
- These devices feature intuitive document management functionalities, including digital send image preview with page editor, and advanced security options.
- Security options include PIN numbers that users can set up manually or as a default so that pages will not print until the user walks up to the device and enters the PIN number. ITS highly recommends that users set up default PIN numbers for all print jobs for confidentiality as well as print jobs not getting lost, forgotten or accidentally picked up by someone else.
- Easy navigation of touch-screen display.
- These devices help reduce the impact on the environment with Instant-on technology, which reduces energy use up to 50%, and automatic two-sided printing. The device can also be set up to automatically print in monochrome and duplexing formats (double-sided pages)
- These devices help reduce the cost and consumption of toner and paper.
- High quality print jobs, copies and scanning for a below-average purchase price.
Who qualifies for an MFP?
Departments qualify to receive a funded MFP if 1) larger copiers and printers, smaller desktop printers and fax machines are given up in place of the new MFP and 2) if departments have a minimum of five people in the same area.
The PRP will fund typically one MFP for up to 50 people. The number of people using the device, the physical layout of departments' offices/rooms, and the needs of the department will affect how many MFPs a department has. This will be assessed by ITS on a case-by-case basis.
Academic departments are allowed to have a smaller backup printer at all times. This is to accommodate peak periods during the academic year. Academic departments are responsible for purchasing their own backup printer. All backup printers, as well as all printers in general, must be one of our standard machines and must be ordered through ITS.
MFPs and other printers are the property of the university. When an older MFP or printer is being replaced, ITS will pick it up and assess whether it is in good enough repair to be used as a backup, or if it needs to be scrapped. All leased MFPs will be sent back to the leasing company at the end of their cycle.
Acquisiton and Support
All MFPs and printers purchased by any department or school at the University of San Diego (USD), are property of USD. All MFPs and printers meeting the standards designated will be supported by the appropriate personnel in the department of Desktop Support Services/Information Technology Services.
During each budget planning cycle, ITS will work with departments on campus to assess current MFPs, copiers and printers, and discuss potential replacement needs. Once the printers and copiers that will be replaced have been identified, ITS will ensure that funding is available. ITS will coordinate with the appropriate person in each department on timing of order and delivery, and uninstallation of any desktop printers that may still exist within the department. A list of the available standard configurations will be available at http://www.sandiego.edu/its/helpdesk/kb/19762. Please note that printer models change very frequently and this list may not have the most current models available. ITS will make every effort to update this page as often as possible.
Acquisition and support procedures:
ITS will:
- Define standard printers and MFPs and determine the technical features required to meet the specific business needs of the department.
- Recommend and approve purchases for standard printers and MFPs according to applicable rules as established by USD's Policy and Procedure manual, Purchasing and Financial Policies, No. 2.10.2 Purchasing.
- Select appropriate MFPs and provide assistance and network resources so that they have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of assigned job responsibilities.
- Maintain an accurate inventory of all University MFPs and printers in order to track assets and identify equipment slated for replacement in a way that supports resource planning and gives priority in future replacement cycles to those printers/copiers not upgraded or replaced on the normal 5-year cycle due to funding limitations.
- Schedule, coordinate, and execute the replacement process while complying with applicable rules and regulations for the acquisition and redeployment of the equipment involved in replacement activities.
- MFPs placed through the PRP are installed by the Desktop Support Services department on a priority basis. Every effort will be made to provide a flexible installation schedule that causes minimal workflow interruption.
- Communicate and arrange the logistics needed to complete the replacement processes. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Providing notification to School/Department Representatives, in a timely manner, the need for replacements and informing them of the known aspects of applications that may be affected by those changes.
- Working with each department's contact personnel to facilitate the replacement process while maintaining continuity of critical business functions.
- Working with appropriate department personnel to test equipment and make necessary adjustments to applications as required by the replacement process.
- Arranging for or providing training or instructions as necessary to assist users in transitioning to the new equipment.
- Facilitate setting up a designee in the department to order toner cartridges for the new MFP through Sarcom's website, if applicable.
Replacement of MFP's
Equipment purchased or replaced by the replacement budget is the property of the institution, not of the department or individual. Departments must surrender a like copier/MFP and all desktop printers when a new MFP is installed under PRP. This also includes any fax machines. All desktop printers will be recycled as e-waste consistent with the university's Sustainability Initiative. If the department wishes to keep the old equipment for other uses, a request must be made in writing.
In the event a standard MFP does not meet a department's requirements, the department may request an exception to the standard. Requested upgrades to the standard configuration will not be processed without approval from their area representative. Departments/Schools must fund every exception/upgrade. Exceptions are granted on an as-needed basis at the discretion of the department or school representative.
Exceptions to this printer replacement policy, including compelling business needs, should meet the following criteria and will be evaluated as follows:
- Technical Justification – Evaluated based on documented manufacturer's technical requirements.
- Cost or Resource Justification – Evaluated based on verifiable cost or resource savings.
- MFP Malfunction – MFPs that malfunction due to user-created errors or mistreatment will be dealt with on an as-needed basis. In such cases, the ITS Help Desk will work with the business units and their administration to resolve issues involved and, when appropriate, will assign temporary printers as needed and based on the availability of suitable equipment.
Responsibility for Equipment
Each department is responsible for taking reasonable precautions in regard to USD owned MFPs. Employees or their departments will be held responsible for damage to such equipment arising out of their negligence or misconduct. Equipment should remain in the location where originally installed unless other arrangements are made with ITS. Individuals or departments experiencing malfunctions or damage to University owned MFPs should contact the ITS Help Desk. ITS will respond on a same-day basis, as we understand that these MFPs are the department's sole printer/copier/fax/scanner. If ITS cannot fix the issue or is in need of a part, ITS will contact our service provider for same-day service.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an MFP?
MFP stands for multi-function printer. These devices can copy, print, scan, email and fax. ITS has chosen a list of large, robust MFPs to withstand large volumes and usage from multiple users.
- Why are we moving towards the MFP?
The university is gradually moving offices and departments towards MFPs and away from smaller desktop printers for sustainability and savings. Multiple desktop printers not only use up a ton of energy, toner and paper, but many models that are on campus today jam and break constantly. These MFPs also provide the office with speed, efficiency, reliability and security, and enhances our sustainability efforts by allowing us to default copy and print jobs to monochrome and duplexing.
MFPs will be replacing smaller desktop printers, larger copiers and fax machines.
- Where can I find a list of ITS's current MFP and printer standards?
Here is the link: http://www.sandiego.edu/its/helpdesk/kb/19762. Printer models change very frequently, so this list may not be 100% accurate. ITS will make an effort to update the list frequently.
- I'm concerned about confidentiality; therefore I can't give up my desktop printer.
Users can and should set up their own four-digit PIN number as a default, so that all print jobs that are sent to the MFP will not print out until the user walks to the machine and enters their PIN number. This not only will ensure confidentiality but it will eliminate the possibility of lost print jobs or others walking away with the print job by mistake. Confidentiality is NOT justification for not giving up a desktop printer.
- Will we be trained on how to use our new MFP?
Yes, while your new MFP is being scheduled for delivery and/or being installed, your area technician will coordinate with the point person in your office on a training date and time. Most likely one of our technicians will be providing the training, but occasionally the vendor also provides training.
When a training session is being scheduled, be sure to include vital people in your office, such as executive assistants, student workers, or anyone else who uses these devices regularly. However, it's a good idea to invite anyone who will be using the machine at all to the training.
- Our office experiences a high volume of print jobs and copies by multiple people at the same time. How will this work?
We will look at this issue on a case-by-case basis as each office/department need is different. If an area has a very high number of users (i.e. more than 40-50), we may need to purchase two MFPs for the area. All academic departments within the schools will be allowed to have a backup printer at all times (funded by the department or school).
The MFPs are also designed so that a job can be paused while another job is submitted and being completed. Once it's completed, the previous job can be resumed. This is ideal for smaller jobs.
- Does ITS buy all MFPs and printers, or are departments ever responsible for the cost?
ITS has funding to purchase and lease MFPs (including warranties) for departments as long as smaller desktop printers and fax machines are given up. We usually allow a grace period so that users can get used to using the MFP. ITS does have a finite amount of funding per year, however.
Occasionally secondary devices are necessary for a department. This will be determined by ITS on a case-by-case basis. In general, the department is responsible for the purchase of these machines. However, all printer purchases must be done through ITS.
Departments are responsible for the cost of toner, staple cartridges and paper.
- Who do we call for support on our MFP?
In most cases, contact the Help Desk at x7900 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Our technicians treat any issues with the MFPs as a top priority. There may be some cases where departments would call the vendor support number that is on the machine for same-day support.
- We will be sharing an MFP with at least one other department. How will the costing of toner and paper work?
We can order an MFP that can handle copy and print job reporting so that departments are able to determine which departments use how much on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Since departments are responsible for purchasing toner and paper, the departments will also be responsible for determining how much of these costs each department should cover. It's advisable that only one person be in charge of ordering toner and paper, but occasionally departments like to share that responsibility (i.e. if two departments share one MFP, one department orders and pays for toner and paper for six months, then the other department takes over the responsibility and cost for the other six months).
Some departments simply divide the costs by however many departments use the device, if the use is relatively even. Others actually want a report of usage, look at the cost of toner and paper over that period of time, and do a journal entry to the other department(s) for their share of the cost.
- How does ITS determine which departments get new MFPs each year?
ITS is provided with funding to procure and lease a certain number MFPs each year. In general, we look at which current copiers and printers are oldest and off contract, and we also look at which departments currently have a malfunctioning or a completely broken device that needs replacement. These devices take priority. After this, if any funding is left for the fiscal year, we look at other areas on campus that can benefit now rather than later with having a new MFP.
Because University Copy & Graphics has been purchasing and leasing copiers and printers for a long time, ITS will be working with them on replacing these machines over the next few years.

I was always curious why classical composers use names like this Étude in E-flat minor (Frédéric_Chopin) or Missa in G major (Johann Sebastian Bach). Is this from scales of this songs? Weren't they blocked to ever use this scale again? Why didn't they create unique titles?
Many classical composers frequently used this method that you stated. Bach wrote over 1120 pieces. Naming 1120 pieces, each with a unique name can be hard. Some were named for where they were performed e.g. the Brandenburg Concertos. It was also common for a composer to number his pieces of the same format. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is also known as Serenade No. 13 for strings in G Major. The most common technique, however, was to name after the musical form and its key. Beethoven composed a Bagatelle in C minor. He then titled this piece Bagatelle in C minor. His well known Fur Elise is also referred to as Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor.
Using a key did not prohibit a composer from using that key again (there are only thirty keys). Using a key did not prohibit them from using the same key on a work with the same form either. Bach wrote over thirty Prelude and Fugues. Four of these were Prelude and Fugue in A minor. They are now differentiated by their own BWV catalog numbers (assigned in 1950). Many pieces did have unique titles, but with the amounts of pieces the composers composed, unique titles were difficult to come up with. Also, most pieces had no lyrics. It is much easier to come up with a title when there are lyrics. So, they turned to this technique. It was used frequently during the Common Practice Period.
Opus numbers are also used to number pieces. They only number published pieces though. Not all pieces a composer wrote would be published. Some works published posthumously are also given Opus numbers.
Opus numbers are different from the catalogue numbers I mentioned before. Some composers have multiple catalogues of their works which can be confusing.
The purpose of adding so much information is to insure the reader knows which work is in question. To make up a case, say we start with a Chopin Waltz. We could name the key - Eb, for example - but there could be more than one Waltz in Eb. To narrow it down, we might provide an opus number (when it was composed) or a date in the case of some more recent composers. What if there is more than one Waltz in that key and with that same opus number? We would need to know the number in the opus. This isn't a Chopin work but let's pursue the business to the end for an imaginary one - Chopin (composer) Waltz (title) in Eb (key) Opus 50 (order of when it was submitted for publication) No. 3 (to be specific), so Chopin's Waltz in Eb, Op. 50 No. 3. That's almost always enough information. If we need to be even more specific than that, perhaps the tempo could be sited, but I've never seen that occur.
By "Classical", I assume you mean "not pop music" rather than the historical Classical Period specifically. The examples you gave weren't actually Classical composers (J.S. Bach was a Baroque composer; Chopin was Romantic).
In Bach's case, his music was always very functional - it almost always served a purpose. As such, it made sense to give functional names to his works. Categorising pieces into a musical form and a key (Toccata & Fugue in D Minor) made much more sense than subjective sentimental titles like "Scary Atmosphere for a Haunted House", for example.
Another reason was the sheer volume of works that these composers produced (Bach wrote over 1,100; Chopin a 'mere' 230 that we know of). Naming them all with something poetic would have been a task in itself!
In addition, the majority of these functionally-named works were instrumental - if you look at their choral/vocal pieces, they are more likely to have alternative names, simply because having words in them means a title is easy to extract.
Compare these with modern music which is now predominantly vocal, i.e. pop songs - and you can see why we don't really need to name things with reference to form and key any more. The title is suggested by the lyrical content.
So as ubiquitous as Justin Beiber may seem, he has a long way to go before he even equals a quarter of Chopin's output and hence he can still name his composition "Boyfriend" rather than "R&B Hip-Hop song in B♭minor".
These are all good answers, but I'd just add a historical note. Composers before the time of, say Beethoven, composers like Bach and Mozart, often did not publish all or even most of their musical works, either because no one wanted them, or because they wanted to keep the pieces for their own use. The vast majority of Bach's music was not published in his lifetime, so there was little need to "name" the compositions. Often the names we use (Brandenburg concerto; Jupiter Symphony) were added later, as nicknames.
Neither Bach nor Mozart left any definitive catalog of works (Mozart wrote up a list from memory late in life, as I recall, but he got things wrong). It was left to musicians and musicologists to find all the manuscripts, try to figure out what order they came in, give them some numbering system, and then publish them in large collected works editions. Most of this editorial work did not even start until well after the composers were gone, at the end of the 19th century.
(This is where the letters and numbers after many 18th-ct. works come from: they are catalog numbers, like Mozart's K numbers, K being Koechel, the editor of the first Mozart edition, or J.S. Bach's BWV numbers [standing for Bach Werk Verzeichnis, or Bach Work Catalog in German]. Even Beethoven left a bunch of works unpublished at his death; they are in his collected edition with W.o.O numbers, standing for "Werke ohne Opuszahl" ["works without opus number"].)
So, in his lifetime, Bach, like most composers, never needed to give distinctive names to most of his works, because most of them were never intended to be used by anyone but him. The full numbering of, say, Haydn symphonies was a real mess, because for most of his life, Haydn just wrote symphony after symphony for his patron(s), who owned them as absolutely as they owned paintings or sculptures they commissioned. When he got famous, some of "his" symphonies became well-known and published, but even those were likely to have been in short numbered sets of, say, six or twelve, like the so-called Paris (82-87) and London (92-104) symphonies. (I used to play four-hand arrangements of Haydn's late symphonies where the numbering started at 92, as if those were the only ones that mattered!) And, when I was a kid, there were supposed to be 104 Haydn symphonies; now we think he wrote at least 107, but do we renumber all the later ones to accommodate the very early ones we found? Heck no!
Even more recent composers run into this problem. Bruckner wrote and published nine symphonies. But then, after his death, they found an early trial-run symphony that he wrote but never published, so they decided to call it Symphony No. 0 ("Die Nullte"). Then they found another one, so they called it (not Symphony No. -1, that would have been awesome), but Symphony No. 00.
And so it goes...
There are many reasons for that, and you can find some a great analysis about classical music titles here: http://www.classicaldiary.com/the-lab/blog/decoding-classical-music-1-titles It really helped me as a beginner to understand how and why there are so many elements in a title. Fascinating!
A simple answer is: because it works; it helps to reduce the number of matching pieces and there is a good chance, that it is unique then. For example Schubert: if you select "c major", just two symphonies remain, therefore a "little" or "great" is usually added. One easily recognises, that this naming is only possible at later times. The names came seldom from the composer itself, but were either invented later for easy classification or - more likely - by the publisher of the score, to have something like a "marketing brand" (often even against the will of the composer). Further sources are customer ordering or artist playing the piece (Goldberg-Variations, Diabellis variations contest), the town, where the first performance took place (Haydns London symphonies are a handful, so additional characteristics were needed, like "the clock" due to a rhythmic pattern in a middle movement). One has to remember, that in the days before radio and grammophone composers were simple responsible for producing music for banquets. I can imagine, that they were happy to have a piece finished and the score copied in time and did not bother for inventing a name.
Even in the context of rock and roll, coming up with names is hard. Gems like "A Simple Desultory Philippic" don't just grow on trees. You have to dig them up!
There is some trend toward abandoning "names" in electronic music, where sometimes just the BPM will suffice. And of course, sound effects recordings.
It'd be nice to get away with calling things "double-boogie 100 #3", "minor descending-bass rag 120 #2", "rock waltz #437".
My guess is that a musical piece was just that, and did not need to be connected with other aspects as it is today.
Music expresses very often non-musical feelings nowadays, for examples through titles (but not only). I don't think it was the case then, not to the same extent.
We give very much importance to the name of a piece today, but there was no need to choose a name then, since that was not as important.
I suppose that this changed when composers started to consistently express something else than just the music, through the music. Debussy's symphonic poems come to mind, but it surely started long before him.
