How much contact should I expect to have with my literary agent (from a sizeable London firm, representing my first novel)? Are months of silence to be expected/endured? If so...how many?
I wasn't going to post an answer for this, but I've got to disagree with Joshin.
You're in a business relationship with your agent. You're entitled to respectful business communication. There's a vast difference between you needing your hand held and you needing to know what your business partner is up to.
Months of silence seem out of line. That is, if you've sent a polite, business-like inquiry, you should have been answered. If you've been nagging him/her daily, then maybe s/he has shut down. But you haven't said anything to suggest that.
Rather than Joshin's manufacturer/salesperson analogy, I would try home owner/real estate agent. (You notice the word 'agent' - it has significance). If you allow someone else to try to sell your valuable, unique property, you are entitled to regular updates as to their progress. If you've been reasonable, and they refuse to share this information with you, there's a serious problem with the relationship.
There are a lot of great agents out there, and there are, unfortunately, a lot of rookies and/or shysters. If you have absolute confidence (through checking at Editors & Preditors and other relevant sites) that you've got a great agent, you might want to forgive the poor communication. But if you're less than confident, you need communication to know what's going on.
If you are really good they'll be happy if you just send them a check on a regular basis.
Think of a clerk in a store. Their job is to make sure that when a buyer comes into the store they find what they need. Rarely (if ever) do they contact the guy in China who is making the tools.
If you are making tools in China you want the clerk to sell them in the US of A.
If you need hand-holding use part of your royalties to hire someone with hands you like.

Can you tell me where the mistake is?
If $(f_n) \in L^1$ is a sequence of functions such that $\sum_n \|f_n\|_1 < \infty$ I can prove that $f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n(x) < \infty$ for all $x \in X$.
To this end, let $n \in \mathbb N$, $x \in X$. Then $$ \sum_{k=1}^n f_k (x) \leq \sum_{k=1}^n |f_k (x) | \leq \sum_{k=1}^n \int_X |f_k (x) | d \mu$$
Hence $$ f(x) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n f_k (x) \leq \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n \int_X |f_k (x) | d \mu < \infty$$
Since $x$ was arbitrary we have $f(x) < \infty$ for all $x \in X$.
This proof must be wrong since we should have $f(x) < \infty$ almost everywhere.

6 Insane True Stories More Badass Than Any Action Movie
#3. What's That Noise Coming from The Trunk? AAAAHHH!
Steven Gorvett, drug addict, career criminal and opportunistic thief, was strolling through an English neighborhood when his fingers got to twitching. Sitting nearby was a car with its doors open and radio blaring, just asking -- nay, begging -- to be stolen. Steven, not being one to turn down a free quickie from Madame Opportunity, hopped straight into the car and drove away.
"Eventually, one of my terrible life choices has to pay off, right? It's just odds at this point."
Little did he know, he'd just stolen the T-1000's car.
The car actually belonged to one Mr. Keith Lovegrove, who was fixing a friend's fence when his musical accompaniment unexpectedly did a slow fade-out. Upon looking up and seeing his car rolling away, Lovegrove melded through the fence and sprinted after it.
After a few strides, Lovegrove leapt through the air and clung to his vehicle's bumper, where he was dragged for over 200 agonizing yards. If you're wondering what the hell he was thinking, well, he was thinking that his trunk was open ... and when his car hit a speed bump, Lovegrove used the momentum of the bump to somersault himself into it.
Experts are still puzzled by how he was able to squeeze testicles that enormous into the trunk of a Civic.
After flipping into the trunk, Lovegrove burst through the backseat and proceeded to grab the thief in a headlock and drag him out of the car, all while traveling at highway speeds (we assume). However, once outside the car the thief managed to anticlimactically punch him in the face and escape.
Wait, how could a hopelessly drug-addicted criminal break free of the kung fu death grip of a guy who, seconds earlier, was clinging to the bumper of a moving car like Marty McFly, except minus the skateboard and plus excruciating pain? Well, it probably had something to do with the fact that Keith Lovegrove was a 54-year-old ex-soldier at the time and officially registered as disabled. Holy shit. Just imagine what the guy was like in his prime. Never got a car (or anything else) stolen from him, for starters.
"If they tried, I'd have used the trunk in a different way."
#2. Mugger Accidentally Creates Wolverine
Taitex Phlamachha was walking home with his wife when a mugger decided to try his luck. Now we have to assume that said mugger had no idea that the man he was about to attack was named Taitex Phlamachha, because a name like that could only conceivably belong to a man who knows all the martial arts.
upiterimages/BananaStock/Getty Images
"I even invented a little something I like to call … Punch-Fu."
Those martial arts just so happened to be karate and taekwondo (the punchingest and kickingest ones, respectively), which gave Phlamachha the confidence to flatly tell his attacker to piss off while ignoring his many threats of facial stab wounds. In the resulting 15-minute fight, the mugger at one point had his knee firmly planted on Phlamachha's chest while he flailed wildly with the knife at his abdomen. How he failed to do fatal damage is up for debate, but we'd like to think that Phlamachha's abs were simply too toned for the mugger's knife to penetrate.
Unsurprisingly, Phlamachha eventually managed to gain the upper hand and floored the mugger with a colon-punishing kick to the body. The mugger then tried to flee, only to be stopped by two lightning-quick donkey punches from Phlamachha. "But wait," you say. "Where was the mugger's knife during all this punching and kicking?" Well ...
"And the knife bone's connected to the -- wait a minute ..."
That's a post-fight X-ray of Phlamachha's arm. The only problem is, no one knows how or when the 6-inch blade got jammed in there, because Phlamachha didn't even realize it had happened. Presumably because, as a former Gurkha, Phlamachha was trained to suck that shit up.
"I'm thinking about leaving it in there. You never know when you might need a knife."
The mugger was remanded in custody and told that he should perhaps think about pursuing a different career path, seeing as how being donkey punched with the blade of your own knife is a clear demonstration of lacking the necessary skillset to truly excel at the mugging arts.
#1. You Can't Stop the Law (Not Even with a Bullet to the Chest)
Ivan Marcano, an off-duty NYPD cop, was sitting in the car with his girlfriend when he saw two punks pistol-whipping a man in the street (stay classy, New York). Had this been a buddy cop movie, Marcano would've announced that he was too old for this shit before reluctantly cocking his gun. But unfortunately for the thugs, retirement was not even the remotest glimmer on Marcano's horizon -- because he was nowhere near too old for this shit.
Marcano told his girlfriend to call 911 and stepped out of the car. The moment he identified himself as a police officer, one of the criminals immediately turned and fired a round straight into his chest. The thugs escaped in a white Mustang with a third accomplice, leaving Marcano for dead. His girlfriend helped him back into the car and made a beeline for the nearest hospital.
Richard Harbus for nydailynews.com
All while explaining this wasn't orchestrated to avoid dinner with her parents.
Despite carrying a shooting victim, Marcano's girlfriend dutifully stopped at a nearby red light, presumably because Marcano's natural justice field overpowered her ability to commit even the most innocuous crime while in his presence. And that's when they saw it: a recently crashed white Mustang containing three men, who'd just unknowingly drawn the winningest ticket in the Most Fucked Sweepstakes.
Climbing out of the car, Marcano clamped his left hand (his dominant hand, by the way) over his bleeding chest wound and casually drew his gun with the other. Upon seeing the police officer they'd just blown away walking toward them like the friggin' Terminator, the men scrambled out of the car. Marcano ordered the people in the immediate vicinity to hit the deck before letting off two one-handed shots, taking out his shooter with a headshot.
"I'm not arresting you anymore."
The other two men, realizing that they were up against a being apparently fueled by bullet wounds and a desire to punish crime in all its forms, ran for it. Marcano actually tried to give chase before a passing ambulance pulled up and asked if he needed help. He stopped for a quick chat with the crew before climbing into the back under his own volition.
While recovering in the hospital Marcano was promoted to detective by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly for his heroism and all-around awesomeness, a moment that was luckily caught on camera since it's doubtful Marcano can remember it through the painkiller haze.

The big energy companies, which are awaiting Canadian government approval for their multibillion dollar tie-up, said a detailed feasibility study for the proposed facility has been completed and the project is now moving into the pre front-end engineering design, or pre-FEED, phase.
By JUDY MCKINNON and CHIP CUMMINS
Progress Energy Resources Corp. and Malaysian state-run
energy giant Petronas said Tuesday they are moving their
proposed liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) export terminal off
Canada's west coast into the next phase of engineering.
The big energy companies, which are awaiting Canadian
government approval for their multibillion dollar tie-up, said
a detailed feasibility study for the proposed facility has been
completed and the project is now moving into the pre front-end
engineering design, or pre-FEED, phase.
The companies said a final investment decision on the project, named Pacific Northwest
LNG, is expected in late 2014, followed by first LNG exports in
The decision to move to the next phase comes as the two
companies await Ottawa approval for Petronas' $5.18 billion
Canadian dollar ($5.21 billion) offer to buy Progress
That deal, announced in June, requires approval from the
Canadian government, which reviews all big foreign deals for
"net benefit" to the country's economy.
Michael Culbert, president and CEO of Progress, said Tuesday
he remains confident the takeover of his company by Petronas
will get Canadian government approval and that he's "hopeful"
this approval will happen by the end of this year.
Mr. Culbert said in an interview that the proposed LNG
export terminal will go ahead even if the merger doesn't.
At the time of the deal announcement, the two companies said
as part of the tie-up they would jointly develop an LNG
terminal in British Columbia, aimed at exporting natural gas to
Asian markets.
Amid a gas-drilling boom in North America, gas prices have
plummeted across the continent. That has sent a number of other
big energy companies scrambling to propose LNG export projects.
Petronas is already a global leader in LNG technology, and Canada's federal
government has been eager to push infrastructure that would
open its natural resources to new markets, particularly
energy-hungry ones in Asia.
The now-completed, preliminary feasibility work on the
Petronas-Progress LNG export terminal could become a factor in
Ottawa's review, if it is seen as tipping the balance over net
benefit to the economy.
In their joint statement, Petronas and Progress said the value
of the investment in the LNG export facility is expected to be
between C$9 billion and C$11 billion, depending on the final
project scope. The construction phase would result in
up to 3,500 direct jobs and the long-term operations of the
facility would result in 200 to 300 direct jobs, the companies
The companies said the size of the project will depend on government
approval of the takeover. If approved, "the throughput of
natural gas at the LNG export facility is expected to increase
by approximately 60%," the companies said in their joint
Canada's Industry Ministry declined to comment about the
joint Petronas-Progress announcement, reiterating the Minister,
Christian Paradis, continues to review the proposed takeover

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I know what random variables are but I don't understand what a linear combination of gaussian random variables is. Can anyone please give me an explanation or clues? Thanks in advance, Julien.
Gaussian random variable is another name for Normal random variable. It is called Gaussian because Carl Friedrich Gauss discovered many properties of the Normal distribution.
A linear combination of Gaussian random variables is another random variable, not necessarily Gaussian itself, that you get by adding and subtracting Gaussian random variables. Lets call this linear combination of Gaussian variables $Y$. The random variable $Y$ could be something like $$ Y = 2 \times X_1 + 1.2234 \times X_2 -7 $$ Or it could be something like $$Y = \frac{X_1 - 0.01 \times X_2}{12}$$
where $X$'s are Gaussian random variables. As you can see a linear combination of them is obtained by summing them up or subtracting them from each other, but never multiplying or dividing them with each other or by itself (like squaring or taking roots).
We can give general form of linear combination of random Gaussian variables: $$ Y = a_1X_1 + a_2X_2 + ... + a_n X_n$$
where $a_i$ is any number you want it to be, like -222, or 0 or 17.222...

Security Of and Access To Campus Facilities
If you are trying to request special access to a building or access during non-business hours please submit a request to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have any questions about card access or building access in general you can email email@example.com as well.
Residence Hall Access
Saint Louis University's facilities consist of a number of residential facilities with more than
3,400 students living on-campus:
• 24-hour security desks are in operation in most residence halls. Student personnel monitor all people who enter the facility and, at various times and locations, control lobby door access. All residence halls, with the exception of two student apartment complexes, have both front door and security desk card readers. Security personnel have access to telephones and panic alarm buttons that immediately notify Department of Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness (DPSEP) dispatchers in the event of an emergency.
• University identification cards are required to enter the residence halls, and nonresidential
student guests must be acknowledged by desk personnel and accompanied by a resident student.
• Exterior emergency exit doors are electronically monitored with local alarms or alarms
that immediately notify DPSEP of a potential breach in security.
• Student rooms are equipped with security locks and keys that are stamped "Do Not
Duplicate." If a key is lost, the lock is changed promptly after the missing key is reported
to a University official.
• Housing and Residence Life student staff members live on most residence hall floors
and professional staff members live in most facilities. A Housing and Residence Life
staff member is always available or on call if needed.
• Students living on-campus periodically are reminded to keep their doors locked and
to have valuables secured. The Student Handbook provides additional information and details on residence hall policies and procedures relative to maintaining a safe, secure environment.
Nonresidential Building Access
• Academic buildings are locked following the last classes of each day and are reopened
by Department of Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness Officers prior to the beginning of classes the next day. All academic buildings have card access systems that allow access only with an appropriate access card.
• Students entering academic buildings after normal business hours must have written
permission from the appropriate dean or have made other arrangements with an academic
department or the Department of Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness.
• University parking garages are gated and have closed-circuit television cameras and
voice intercoms, as well as emergency telephones and panic buttons, which are monitored
by a security officer stationed in the garages at all times.
• A desk worker monitors access to the Simon Recreation Center, and a desk worker is
on location at the main entrance of the Busch Student Center.
• Campus lighting has been installed in and around many campus facilities for increased
safety and security. Large portions of University property are fenced to divide
SLU space from the surrounding area.
• Public Safety officers constantly patrol University property and monitor
University buildings for safety and security issues.
• Certain facilities are equipped with intrusion alarms. Appropriate University employees are introduced to alarm usage and key control as part of their duties.

6 Mind-Blowing Archeological Discoveries Destroyed by Idiocy
#3. Saudi Arabia Destroys Muslim Holy Sites to Build Hotels for Muslim Pilgrims
The number of Muslims making the annual hajj pilgrimage to the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia has increased drastically over the past several years to a current annual total of over 3 million people, and they all have to stay somewhere. Deftly rising to the challenge of accommodating them, Saudi Arabian developers demolished pretty much the entire city to make room for hotels, a solution they found in a book of paradoxes they mistook for an encyclopedic collection of the best ideas ever conceived.
This is page one.
That photo above is the Royal Mecca Clock Tower, the tallest hotel/luxury apartment complex in the world, which looms over the Kaaba (the holy stone in Mecca that Muslims face during prayer) like a Las Vegas casino. About 95 percent of Mecca's buildings, most at least a thousand years old, have been destroyed over the past two decades in order to "modernize" the city and make room for increased pilgrim traffic.
This included the construction of the Clock Tower, which sits on a stack of shopping malls atop the blasted ruins of an 18th century Ottoman fortress, because nothing says "holy city" like a multi-towered Disneyland castle we expect Aerosmith to zipline down from at any moment. When the systematic annihilation of national antiquities is enough to make a prominent Saudi historian literally say "No one has the balls to stand up and condemn this cultural vandalism," chances are it's pretty offensive.
mecca.net Getty
The top is a religious holy city. The bottom is Vegas.
Much of the problem stems from the official religion of Saudi Arabia, which is a strict interpretation of Islam that considers relics and historically significant religious structures to be forms of idolatry. Consequently, the kingdom doesn't need much of an excuse to go around smashing ancient mosques and Islamic landmarks, and since money is the best excuse in the world, they are leveling anything and everything they can in exchange for development capital and pilgrimage revenue.
Among the things that have been demolished to make space for the people coming to see the things that are being demolished was the house of Muhammad's wife Khadijah, which was torn down and replaced by a public toilet, and the house of the first caliph (the first successor of Muhammad), which is now a luxury Hilton (incidentally the namesake of the most famous public toilet in history).
#2. An Elderly Churchgoer "Restores" a Masterpiece Fresco by Completely Ruining It
AFP/Getty Images
If you missed our list of the eight people who defined 2012, you missed out on the story of Cecilia Gimenez, an 80-year-old parishioner and church volunteer in Borja, Spain (please note that none of those superlatives include the words "art historian"). At a certain point, Giminez noticed that the 19th century fresco of Jesus in her church was starting to show some mileage. It had been damaged by years of moisture decay, and some of the paint had started to peel off like Meryl Streep's face in Death Becomes Her. So Giminez, wanting to save the church money on a restoration job, decided to completely destroy the painting herself.
Centro de Estudios Borjanos via itv.com
It looks like a creature that Andy Serkis would be hired to motion capture.
Giminez, burdened with nothing but good intentions, attempted to restore the image of Jesus, but wound up painting a husky Russian grandmother in the middle of a werewolf transformation over it. Upon seeing her truly awful handiwork, the police initially suspected that they were dealing with vandalism, because only sworn enemies of Christianity and/or rampaging drug-addicted teenagers would paint Jesus with a PBR neckbeard on the wall of a church. There is simply no way that image could have come out of someone who wasn't deliberately trying to be an asshole.
Giminez later demanded royalties from the church. So yeah, we're guessing that she's less an altruist and more a busybody.
However, Giminez soon confessed that she was responsible for Monkey Jesus, insisting that she had worked on the picture in broad daylight with the priest's permission. Church officials disagreed, claiming that they had no knowledge of the "restoration" attempt that had resulted in a hideous giant thumb with a face drawn on it wearing one of Mike Ditka's bathrobes. We tend to agree with them, considering that it seems highly unlikely that Giminez could have been sitting there for days (or weeks) without anyone looking over her shoulder and subsequently banning her from religion. Ironically, the fresco's popularity has exploded due to all of the curious people flocking to see the repainted abomination, which says absolutely everything you need to know about how news stories travel over the Internet.
#1. Saddam Hussein Rebuilds Babylon With His Name and Face All Over It
Jane Sweeney/Getty
You've probably heard of Babylon, the ancient city first founded in the third millennium B.C., famous for the Tower of Babel, the Hanging Gardens and that song by David Gray. It is one of the most prized excavation sites in history -- after all, it housed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, so for all we know, its ruins could be teeming with undiscovered awesomeness. Why "for all we know," you ask? Well, only about a quarter of it has been uncovered, because Babylon is located in modern-day Iraq, and Saddam Hussein completely restricted access to it over the past 30 years so he could rebuild the city in his own bugshit crazy image.
And we don't mean that he built a mock-up Caesar's Palace version of it next to his swimming pool. He literally rebuilt Babylon directly on top of the original city. Hussein ordered additions built onto the ruins, as well as entire sections reconstructed from the foundation up, using modern bricks engraved with his name and a list of praises completely free of both irony and context, including the phrase "Saddam Hussein, the protector of Iraq, rebuilt civilization and rebuilt Babylon." You may notice that the only fact contained within that message is Saddam Hussein's name.
Joao Silva/New York Times
The inscription on this brick is much longer, but contains the exact same amount of bullshit.
He reconstructed the Ishtar Gate, which serves as the entrance to the city, and put up images of himself alongside Babylon's ruler Nebuchadnezzar, sort of like they were shaking hands after opening a Planet Hollywood together. Several completely new buildings, including one of the obligatory palaces that Hussein felt needed to dot the Iraqi landscape like McDonald's franchises, were built over the ruins as well. The alterations (here meaning "pissing on history-ations") were so drastic that the World Heritage Committee withdrew Babylon from its list in disgust. Basically, the world declared that Babylon, one of the most legendary cities of all time, no longer held any historical significance. Hussein was like the George Lucas of priceless antiquity.
Iraq, A Tourist Guide via New York Times Stephen Farrell/New York Times
The Iraqi version of "Greedo shot first."
Joao Silva/New York Times
"Oh, quit bitching. It's seamless, you can't even tell!"
The good news is that the invasion of Iraq in 2003 stopped Hussein's plans to further improve the city with pictures of his mustachioed face (his eventual YouTube hanging pretty much sealed the deal). The bad news is that occupying American and Polish forces then built a base on top of Babylon, digging fuel trenches through layers of artifacts and filling sandbags with local relic-rich dirt. They also built a helipad to allow takeoffs and landings right next to the ruins, which is like blasting exposed dinosaur bones with a leaf blower full of gravel. Although to be fair, if helicopters had existed at the time, Nebuchadnezzar would've totally had one.

Don't Assume Anything
It's often tempting to just say "oh, I know what this bit of code is doing, it's fine". Don't do that. Test every assumption and step through everything carefully.
Testing incrementally.
Go depth first in your code and test it from smallest module moving up gradually.In this way, you are not under too much stress trying to figure out where the problem exactly might be.
It also means that it affects less code at a time since you are moving incrementally..as at times I have had issues where I fixed something and that lead to breaking lots of other stuff. I give credit to my boss for this as he taught me this when I messed around.
Divide and conquer is a good approach. Try to identify some visible input (user input/network event ...) and output (log, output to user, outbound network message ...) between which the issue exists. Try putting prints at sizable chunks or significant points between them and try to narrow down where the bug is in the code.
Divide and conquer can also work very well in case of regressions over version controlled code. Find two builds - one where it works as expected, other with the regression. Narrow the gap down till you are left with a bunch of checkins as potential suspects.
Rather than the binary bug chop, write tests in the form
To verify what you actually know to be true about the functioning of the app versus what you assume to be true.
Most IDEs make it easy to extract methods and to generate xUnit testing stubs. Make use of that.
Why not sprinkle debugs? Because after you are done, you will likely have to undo much of that work and delete a fair amount of those debugs. When you write tests, your debugging will aid in the prevention and detection of future bugs.
Keep debugging. If you debug a lot, you'll improve.
As others have said - do not assume anything. This is especially true if its code you've written. When debugging others code you are more likely to slow down because the code is new to you or you don't trust the coder. When debugging your own code its too easy to assume you wrote it correctly, slow down!
For the actual process of debugging:
Adding the unit tests and logging first more efficient that using the debugger first up. You also get the added advantage of having the unit tests to help not introducing future bugs and the logging will help debugging sessions in the future.
Before stepping over a small chunk of code, see if you can accurately determine the outcome. This does tend to fly in the face of don't assume anything (which I up voted BTW) but as you gain experience, it can help narrow down where to look.
This may sound trivial, but learn the nuances of your debugger and learn the hot-keys. Sometimes debuggers can be slow enough that your mind wonders when your stepping through. If you can keep up with the machine and aren't mousing around, that can help.
If you can modify code while debugging:
instead of:
For the cases you can't debug everything, for whatever reason, learn to "rubber-duck" with a co-worker. Sometimes the act of explaining sheds light. (ok, maybe this isn't exactly in the questions theme, but I think it's close enough to warrant mention)
Two things, based on spending most of the last 22 years maintaining code other people wrote.
Understand the kinds of bugs you tend to write.
For instance, I'm a very meticulous coder, so once my code compiles, it's usually free of trivial bugs. So my bugs tend to be weird complicated things like thread deadlocks. On the flip side, I have friend who mostly writes trivial bugs - semicolons at the end of C++ for loops, so the next line only gets executed once, that kind of thing.
Don't assume other people write the same kinds of bugs you do.
I don't know how many times I've wasted time pulling out the big debugging guns, assuming a bug was my kind of really subtle weird thing, only to have my friend look over my shoulder and go, "Did you notice that extra semicolon?" After years of that, I first go for the trivial, low-hanging fruit when looking at other peoples' code.
Know your tools. For example, Visual Studio's debugger has an awesome feature called TracePoints that are like breakpoints but instead of stopping your code instead inserts a trace statement into the debug output.
Reading books or taking a class on how to use your debugger is highly recommended. I took a couple of classes and read a few books by John Robbins that made a big difference in my effectiveness as a debugger.
Understand functionally what the code is trying to do. If you don't know the complete picture (all test cases this code must pass) it's hard to debug properly without introducing new bugs
Write automated unit test and other types of integration and functional tests.
The more automated tests you have, the less time you need to spend in a debugger.
Also, good design - SOLID principles. If you're writing small, focused classes and favoring composition over inheritance, eliminating duplication, etc., then your code will always be easier to debug.
I find that well designed code produces a different set of bugs that code that is not designed well. Generally speaking, well-designed code produces bugs that are easier to find, reproduce, and fix.
The exception (and there always is one) is multithreading code :-)
If you've narrowed it down to a small region, but can't still can't spot the error, try the 'view code + assembly' option of your debugger. Knowing enough ASM to say "there should be a branch here" or "why is it only copying the low word?" will often pinpoint the coding error.
Check out the very valuable book Why Programs Fail: A Guide to Systematic Debugging, by Andreas Zeller. It will introduce you to many techniques, theories, and tools, some of which are on the cutting edge of research.
The slides for the book are available online, but I find the book itself is easier to read.
The book will help get you started and make you think more scientifically about debugging, but it's no substitute for practice. You may need to be writing and debugging for 10 years before you see an order of magnitude improvement in your performance. I still remember having my jaw drop at Sun seeing senior developers, who have been programming for Unix for 30 years, find obscure multithreading or parallel bugs in minutes. Experience matters!

I don't know of an aftermarket system out there currently. But it wouldn't be that difficult to do. General Motor's "Green Line" Hybrids have removed the starter and replaced the alternator with a generator/starter much like some older farm tractors. The have a 36 volt battery to handle the additional power requirements for starting.
There are some additional things you will have to overcome, like your AC not working with the engine off, modifying the programing on fuel delivery. Again it's should be doable from an aftermarket standpoint, just has they have the propane or CNG conversions that can be done to a gas car.
Auto start/stop requires design changes to the starter, flywheel, solenoid, charging system, among other things. A traditional starter isn't rated for the duty cycle that a start/stop system requires. The flywheel and starter are also changed do that the engine can start faster. The solenoid has a higher duty cycle. The charging system has to be designed to run the electrical systems for longer with the alternator being offline and also intelligently monitor the condition of the battery to know it'd charge level and health accurately to guarantee enough juice to run the starter. Plus other non-trivial changes to the fuel delivery system to slow for fatter shutdown and startup.
All of this adds up to be too much to put in to an aftermarket system.

Who created the trop (cantillation) for leining? Is it a Mesorah from when the Torah was written?
Sign up

The te'amim (trope) symbols are about 1,000 years old and are pretty much universal within the Jewish world. They replaced earlier (and probably less efficient or more confusing) systems of notating the grammatical breakdown of verses. The actual parsing of each verse into clauses and sub-clauses is, of course, a much older oral tradition.
The melodies we assign to the trope symbols are harder to track down. They are certainly old, but have clearly changed over time, and differ from community to community. Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrachi and Yemenite Jews all have different sets of melodies and use them in very different ways, and there is a huge amount of diversity within each of these major groups.
There are a few older examples (perhaps 400-500 years old) of the tropes written out in something like modern musical notation. These come from a German Christian work of that era. From what I recall, the melodies indicated sound very little like either our modern day Western Ashkenazi or Eastern Ashkenazi trope.
In all systems of trop there is a typology regarding the functions of the trop. Some are full stops, partial stops, assistants, etc. that all lend assistance in understanding the text. There is no need for a source to prove that we as Jews have known how to read the Torah and understand it since we received it.
What is not clear is the various styles of trop and the way they tend to sound like the musical cadence and scales of the host countries of the Jewish communities that they stem from.
A fair assesment could be that the style, inflection, and actual musical intonations always changed depending on the native language of the Jewish community. The pauses and other tones used may have made sense to those who spoke the language of those host countries.

By preserved I mean that icons that I have manually changed stay like that when copying through Nautilus, and are otherwise reset to the default icons when copying through CLI.

Dollar Oysters and Five-Buck Beers At MessHall
Starting tonight and recurring every Tuesday.
Starting tonight and recurring every Tuesday.
One Nick Erven is hand-picked by the departing chef as his replacement.
The L.A. Times critic eats the Chinese city's signature re gan mian and gets a dose of bullfrog stew.
The camp-themed restaurant is more of a neighborhood scream than a destination.
Los Feliz finally has the perfect place to wear all those ubiquitous flannel shirts.
The restaurant marks the return of veteran Keith Silverton, cooking a mix of U.S. comfort food with a locavore twist.
Guests will get an early taste of MessHall, Republique, and Connie and Ted's, possibly along with some verboten liver.
The menu combines traditional techniques with country comfort, as in a brandade of gold potatoes with soft egg.


text: I've spent days trying to get the nodal point right on my Canon EOS 20D/Sigma 10-20. I use PTGui as stitching software. No matter what I did I couldn't get rid of what seemed to be parallax errors. Then I suddenly discovered the advanced settings on the optimizer-tab, when I checked "Field of view", "a", "b", "c", "Horizontal shift" and "Vertical shift" under "Optimize globally" all of my panoramas got perfect (PTGui says "Too good to be true" when optimizing). Now I wonder if I actually have got the nodal point right or if there still is something wrong with my Nodal Ninja-settings that's getting corrected in the software? I want as much as possible to be optimized with hardware and not by some more or less "inaccurate" software-algorithm. Do you have problems stitching panoramas with PTGui without optimizing the horizontal/vertical shift?

We hope you were all able to enjoy a little time with the family, some nice pressies and plenty of bread sauce over Christmas, now it's time to look towards New Year. That, of course, is all the excuse you should need to indulge in a little mid-holiday excess! This week's #MasterofCocktails recipe is therefore a festive twist on the French 75 – tasty, refreshing and indulgent.
A good party drink this as we reach for the Champagne and wish good riddance to 2013!
It's been a quite the year here at Master of Malt though (I'll probably do a round up at some point), and we've also celebrated the arrival of many, many tiny humans, with babies seemingly popping out all over the business like Champagne corks on New Year's Eve!

Extjs 4.1.1a performance with grid.Render() on IE9
For my test I have used the basic example in ext-4.1.1a\examples\grid\array-grid.js I have just modified this lines (comment the renderTo in grid and add the grid.Render() + time execution calculation) :
... var grid = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', { ... //renderTo: 'grid-example', ... }); var start = new Date().getTime(); grid.render('grid-example'); var stop = new Date().getTime(); var executionTime = stop - start; console.log(executionTime);
IE9 : ~3000ms
IE8 : ~150ms
FF v16.0.2: ~80ms
Chrome v23: ~60ms
I don't have a support licence, in can't test if 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 solved this performance issue that are unacceptable for my client who use IE9, and I can't force them to use FF or Chrome.
23 Nov 2012 8:22 AM #2
Same problem here, we're experiencing initialization problems with grids under Internet Explorer 9 and ExtJS 4.1.1a...
27 Nov 2012 12:59 PM #3
I've just tried with 4.1.1a and 4.1.3 with IE9 using WAMP as a webserver and directly with the file:// protocol and I got between 43 to 50ms.
Without webserver it's slower a bit probably because IE is trying to verify the security of the javascript file differently.
I'm on Windows 7 with an I7 processor and a lot of RAM running on a SSD disk so maybe the performance issue is elsewhere?
28 Nov 2012 1:00 AM #4
Hello and thank you for your answer.
Well I have found the problem it's our Antivirus (Avast web and script agent) who was installed on all our pc that whas causing the problem.
I feel stupid to not have thought about this before posting.

Paint Job Maintenance and Car Care - Welcome To The MachineWritten by on March 10, 2010 High-End Paint Care Made Easy
These days it doesn't matter if the subject is welding, photography, or doing income tax returns there's a steady influx of high-tech products entering the marketplace designed to relegate skills once regarded as the exclusive territory of seasoned professionals and put them into the hands of enthusiastic amateurs. The automotive field is no exception and the trend has moved into the arena of professional paint care. Two of the top brands in the premium car care field are Mothers and Meguiar's and they both offer complete systems right down to the power tools necessary. Both companies have gone to great lengths to provide the DIY crowd foolproof equipment, but of course there's still consequences if the job isn't handled right.
To help us walk CCT readers through the steps of maintaining a high-dollar paintjob without causing any unnecessary damage we asked our friend Andy Uphoff at Andy's Detail Service based out of Costa Mesa, California, to give us a hand. Andy rolled up to "Boss" Bob's Garage in his '63 Chevy C20 outfitted to handle mobile detailing and laid it all out. In addition to the '63 Chevy as a guinea pig Andy worked a little magic on "Boss" Bob's '56 F-100, featured on the August '07 cover of Custom Classic Trucks as well. Bob's '56 can fool you, it looks like it never leaves the garage, but as evidenced in CCT's coverage of La Verne, California's Cool Cruise the truck has been driven to shows where it has rained during the event.
On the day Andy showed up it was pouring rain, so the '63 Chevy had to have major mud washed off and, stored inside, the '56 only needed a minor bath. A former custom painter and auto detailer myself, I helped Andy wash the trucks. We used Meguiar's and Mothers car wash soap on both trucks to see how well they worked. Then we dried the pair off, and moved onto claying any areas that felt rough to the touch while we were drying. With the pickups clayed and ready, the toe-to-toe comparison moved on to testing the power tools. For those of you gun shy when it comes to using a machine on your paintjob, have no fear; neither devise is capable of doing any more damage than a complete flunkie can do by hand with a rag.
The best product to buy for someone that doesn't want to invest a lot of money to find out whether or not they are any good with a machine is Mothers Power Ball 4Paint. The folks at Mothers have developed an entire line of unique foam balls, plus a cone that turn any electric drill into a professional level polishing machine. Next in line for the guys who really want to step up their game is Meguiar's G110 dual-action polisher. The folks at Meguair's really did their homework when they designed the G110. It's the last polisher you'll have to buy, whether you're a pro or a private user.
The final word in detailing products and how to use them is all about personal preference. We're confident this guide will help you avoid the snake oil cures and know good products when you find them. Remember the most important thing to learn is how to train your eye to recognize flaws and teach yourself the skills to correct them-everything gets shinier from there!

Step one to any wash job is to start with hosing-on water to get the dirt to dissolve without scratching the surface.We believe a good wash mitt is superior to any sponge. Meguiar's offers the X3002 microfiber wash mitt, and our favorite is Mothers genuine lambswool wash mitt.Unlike household dish soaps with detergents that will strip wax and potentially harm the paint, a good sudsy car wash like Mothers California Gold is pH balanced and safely dissolves dirt and grime.A good value in car wash soap can often be determined by how viscous (thick) it appears in the bottle. Moving slower than molasses in January is how to describe Meguiar's Ultimate car wash and wax. The yellow stuff you can't see through is liquid carnauba wax - we think we found a new favorite soap.Our friends at LMC Truck in Lenexa, Kansas, just introduced its new large sized synthetic chamois made from PVA.The beauty of LMC Truck's new synthetic chamois is after use it can be replaced into its container, and kept with the truck. If you run into a little rain at a show the chamois can be brought out and used.Not quite as convenient as a synthetic chamois, but definitely worth having is Mothers ultra-soft microfiber towel with a foam center that soaks up water better than conventional towels, not to mention it won't scratch paint.This smaller sized version is for getting into door jambs and soaking up water than can cause rust if undetected.
Ditto for compressed air nothing beats a rubber tipped blowgun like this one from Snap-on combined with a microfiber towel to force out trapped water that can cause water spots and ultimately rust.In combination with a good microfiber towel, the action of a Snap-on blowgun is superior to a Chinese imitation and works great for blowing the water out of wheels, and off tires.The next step to wheel care is a follow-up with Mothers products designed for use on chrome, steel, or alloy wheels. Make sure to control the speed when using on polished alloy wheels.Another microfiber towel superior to anything found in general stores is Meguiar's Supreme Shine with its large 16x24-inch dimensions.Proper storage of the clay is made easy with a special plastic box Meguiar's includes with its smooth surface clay kit.Stay away from pinkish-red colored clay lubricants as they can dye palms and fingers pink. Mothers and Meguiar's clay lubricants are clear and will not dye hands.
A leaking roof left a deposit of mysterious black goo dots on the surface of the '56's orange paint.Mothers ammonia free glass cleaner easily washed the black goo dots off. Do not use ammoniated household window cleaners on your truck, they can strip the paint off of interior knobs and soften plastic pieces.Full gloss was returned to the orange paint with Mothers Showtime instant detailer. Meguiar's Quik Detailer would have worked equally well.Here we have made a selection from Mothers' lineup. Mothers and Meguiar's each offer numerous products that can be combined within their respective line to provide spectacular results. Naturally the two companies don't recommend mixing brands, but the fact is, many professional detailers experiment and "cocktail" products to get the results they prefer-you didn't read that here.For our toe-to-toe comparison of the two machine-based systems this is the selection we chose to represent Mothers.We poured a sufficient amount of step one Mothers pre-wax cleaner onto the crown of the Powerball 4Paint as recommended. It is also advised to work from the crown as much as possible.Andy then tapped the drill trigger a few times while spreading the pre-wax cleaner evenly on the left fender's area he intended to work.
Step one is great for using the Powerball 4Paint to remove light oxidation, as well as initiate the polishing process. Step two using Mothers sealer & glaze filled and hid surface imperfections and helped to make swirl marks disappear.The Powerball 4Paint was cleaned up after use by washing with dish soap and wringing dry. If the Powerball 4Paint begins to show wear, it can be flipped over and used on the other side.To ensure against creating swirl marks Andy using a straight-line motion to apply the carnauba wax. The best results were obtained by allowing the pure carnauba to dry completely before hand buffing to a shine with Mothers microfiber towel.Next Andy moved to the right fender and resumed the test, and applied Meguiar's cleaner wax to the face of the Meguiar's most aggressive yellow soft pad.Andy used the speed control knob on the G110 to dial-in the speed he felt comfortable with. Next he moved the G110 front-to-rear while looking into the finish to detect flaws (minor scratches and dull areas).For the final step Andy changed the G110's yellow pad to the gray final finishing pad and applied Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus, and repeated the polishing steps described above. The Carnauba Plus was left on until it was completely dry and then polished to a high luster with a Meguiar's Supreme Shine microfiber towel.

Someone in management has suggested that our proxy has been hacked by someone on the inside.
Our proxy is set up to log each user as they access the Internet, but someone has reason to believe that at least one person has found a way around it.
My manager has approached me, and asked if that were possible. So, I'm here to find out.
I looked in our proxy logs, and there is one entry entitled "anonymous" - but I do not know how if someone is using that or how they would even get the password for it.
I located the article Is it ethical to hack real systems? on here. First, I do not have anything written from him saying I can do this, but I want to come back to him letting him know if it were possible and how someone might be going about it.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
If someone did find a way around our proxy (so that they would not be logged or so they could access blocked websites), would they most likely be doing it through the anonymous account or by getting around the proxy another way?

I came across a problem with SDE and need your help once again:
$$dX_t=tX_t \, dt+\exp \left(\frac{t^2}{2}\right)$$ and I'm supposed to solve this, in the way $X_t=f(t,W_t)$.
So I use Itô's formula: $$dX_t=\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}dt+\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}dW_t+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}dt$$ and then get that: $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}=\mu(t,x)=t\cdot x \\ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=\sigma(t,x)=\exp \left(\frac{t^2}{2}\right).$$ From the second line, I'd get: $f=\exp\left(\frac{t^2}{2}\right)\cdot x$, but then the first line would become: $$t\cdot \exp \left(\frac{t^2}{2} \right)\cdot x + \frac{1}{2}\cdot 0$$ which is not $t\cdot x$. Where is the mistake?
all the best!

Area realtors camped out in Bowling Green to help keep food pantries stocked.
A run-in with mother nature Saturday night didn't stop the Realtors Hope for the Homeless event from helping those in need.
"We would move to a dry spot, and we'd get wet again. and move to another dry spot lightning thunder, you name it. Wind, we lost a tent last night, but we didn't lose any people. It's just so hard to be out here in this environment, when you have nowhere else to go," says volunteer Jimmy Blankenship of Saturday night's weather.
Last night's storms flooded their campground, making it more of a reality than expected.
"I mean, sleeping in those little tents which are the leisure tents for us, for others that's their home," says Realtors Community Service Committee Vice Chair, Katharina Cisco.
"I have a nice warm home to go to, and I'm going to be going back to it soon, and I can't imagine how you just could not get so depressed, and feel hopeless you know, to be in this everyday," Blankenship says.
The group is collecting nonperishable food items and money for local food banks.
"We're looking to raise hopefully, about 8,000 pounds of food. We did a little over 4,000 last year. So, we'd like to raise some more. We've gotten about probably about $5,000 in cash that we've went shopping and gotten some of the groceries, and we've had people steadily coming in today bringing us food," says Realtors Community Service Committee Chair, Cindy Payne.
The food will be given to the Warren County and Bowling Green Schools' Family Resource Centers and Hotel Inc.
Those involved with the charities say this food drive will help their summer supply, to feed children over the break.
"People don't really understand, I think that we have a greater need when school is not in session so, therefore we do work with area churches to help fill our food pantry, but events like this are great for Hotel Inc.," says Hotel Inc. President of the Board Charlene Rabold.
This group agrees, this has been harder than any camping trip they've been on, but it's worth it to feed those in need.
The Realtors Hope for the Homeless event will be going on until 9 Monday morning.
If you would like to donate, they are set up in the South Central Bank parking lot on Campbell Ln.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Rutgers–Newark Law Students Shine in Three Recent Competitions
Students at Rutgers School of Law–Newark have shown impressive litigation and advocacy skills in recent regional and national competitions, gaining some "firsts" for the law school.
|Rutgers Price Media Law Moot Court team members are (l-r): Ryan Raichilson, Siobhan Kinealy, Micah Pakay, and David Sisk.
Micah Pakay '13, Siobhan Kinealy '14, Ryan Raichilson '15, and David Sisk '14 represented the school in the Americas Regional Rounds of the Price Media Law Moot Court Competition, which was hosted at the end of January by Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. The team was a quarter-finalist in this international competition, placing eighth out of more than 20 teams. They were strong competitors against teams from the Bahamas, Argentina, and New York.
The Rutgers–Newark Price Media Law Moot Court team was selected by Kory Ramkawsky '13, who is the Moot Court Board outside competitions coordinator, and coached by Thomas J. Cafferty '72, a director in the Business & Commercial Litigation Department at Gibbons PC. Team members learned new areas of law, dealing exclusively in international law, writing "memorials" instead of briefs, and developing oral advocacy skills against tough competition.
In upcoming weeks, three other moot court teams – in the areas of Entertainment Law, Employment Law, and Criminal Procedure – will participate in competitions. These competitions come on the heels of the National Mock Trial team winning the Regional Mock Trial Championship. The team, comprised of Kory Ramkawsky '13, Amanda Ribustello '13 and David Baumwoll '13, will next compete in the National Competition trial rounds to be held in San Antonio in early April. David Baumwoll received the 2013 Best Advocate Award, the competition's highest individual honor.
In 2012 Ramkawsky represented the law school as a member of the Phi Alpha Delta team that took first place in the mock trial competition for law school chapters. She was selected best advocate and the team won best prosecution and best witnesses.
|Shown at the White & Case Jessup Moot Court International Competition are (l-r): coach William Schroeder and team members Ali Jaloudi, Emily Button Aguilar, Mary Orsini, Josh Glass, and Olivia Pomann.
In another indication of the rising strength of the Rutgers–Newark moot court program, the school's Jessup International Moot Court Team placed sixth in the highly-competitive Northeast Regional at the White & Case Jessup Moot Court International Competition, which was held at the New York office of Shearman and Sterling LLP on February 15 and 16.
Josh Glass '13, Mary Orsini '13, Emily Button Aguilar '14, Ali Jaloudi '14, and Olivia Pomann '14 went 3-1 in the preliminary rounds, advancing to the quarterfinals. The team tied for fourth best memorial and Josh Glass was awarded fourth best oralist. The Jessup team is coached by Adjunct Professor William E. Schroeder '88, special counsel at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. Others who helped moot the team include Visiting Professor Elizabeth Wilson and Emeritus Professor Saul Mendlovitz, as well as alumni Roktim Kaushik '11, Anna Domyancic '10, Dorian Smith '12, and Tim Oberleiton '12.

Let $X$ be a non-compact holomorphic manifold of dimension $1$. Is there a compact Riemann surface $\bar{X}$ suc that $X$ is biholomorphic to an open subset of $\bar{X}$ ?
Edit: To rule out the case where $X$ has infinite genus, perhaps one could add the hypothesis that the topological space $X^{\mathrm{end}}$ (is it a topological surface?), obtained by adding the ends of $X$, has finitely generated $\pi_1$ (or $H_1$ ). Would the new question make sense and/or be of any interest?
Edit2: What happens if we require that $X$ has finite genus? (the genus of a non-compact surface, as suggested in a comment below, can be defined as the maximal $g$ for which a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma_g$ minus one point embeds into $X$)

Kansas ranks among the top 10 in a new study on government transparency, accountability and
anti-corruption mechanisms. That might sound good, until you consider that a grade of "C" was good enough to place that high. Not only that, but Kansas received an "F" grade in lobbying disclosure and state insurance commission, and a "D-" for ethics enforcement agencies.
The study was conducted by the Washington-based Center for Public Integrity, Public Radio
International and Global Integrity. They reviewed what they term "corruption indicators." No state received an "A," so it's not like Kansas is alone in taking its knocks from the group. Bottom line, the group says, there are no winners.
The group says its investigation "is a test of the structure that governs the government, documenting the laws on the books and investigating the actions that enforce those laws." You can find the complete results here: http://www.stateintegrity.org/
Meantime, what do you believe would make a truly transparent government? I say let's start with easy to understand web sites with access to meeting agendas, minutes, bill/ordinance language and more. Oh, and with a search function that works! Your ideas?

Professional Development
The School of Education offers many professional development opportunities to the community.
Bishop John R. Gorman Institute
The Bishop Gorman Institute will take place on June 24 and 25, 2014, at Saint Xavier University's Main Campus, located at 3700 W. 103rd Street in Chicago. For the past ten years, the institute, under the leadership of the Saint Xavier University School of Education, has served teachers and administrators ministering in Catholic schools.
This year's program, Nurturing Faith in Ourselves and the Students we Teach with Joy, will include sessions for the personal and spiritual growth and development of the participants, as well as sessions specifically directed to assisting them in the growth and development of their students.
The institute is named for Bishop John R. Gorman, auxiliary bishop of Chicago (ret.). Bishop Gorman was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1952 and has served the people of the Archdiocese of Chicago in many ways including rector of the Mundelein Seminary, pastor and Episcopal Vicar of Vacariate V, where he provided strong pastoral leadership to parishes and school on the southwest side of Chicago and the south suburbs. He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology, as well as advanced degrees in theology. Bishop Gorman has served for many years as a mentor to both priests and laity. As pastor of Saint Michael's church in Orland Park, he created the parish ministry commission, which remains the primary model of parish governance and lay parish leadership in the United States.
Some sessions will include The History of the Eucharist, What St. John the Baptist has to Say to Teachers, Culture and Race on the Southside of Chicago, Technology, What a Catholic Grade School and High School looks like, What is a President of a School, How to interact with children with Special Needs, Teaching Math literacy as well as Language Arts literacy and many others.
