Sigma-Delta Modulators Without Feedback Around the Quantizer?
We use a result due to Craven — the "Integer Noise Shaper Theorem" — to show that the internal system dynamics of the class of sigma-delta modulators (or equivalently noise shapers) with integer-coefficient error-feedback filters can be completely understood from the action of simple, linear pre- and de-emphasis filters surrounding a (possibly dithered) quantizer. In these mathematically equivalent models, there is no longer any feedback around the quantizer. The major stumbling block, which has previously prevented a complete dynamical analysis of such systems of order higher than one, is thus removed. The class of integer noise shapers includes, but is not restricted to, the important family of "Pascal" shapers, having all their zeros at dc. Before examining the "integer" shaper case, we discuss and extend Gerzon's generic "Generalized Noise Shaper Theorem.

I have written a program in C# that does a lot of parallel work using different threads. When i reach approx 300 threads the GUI of the program starts to become slow and the execution of threads is also slowing down drastically. The threads are reading and writing data from a mySQL Database runnning on a different machine.
The funny thing is that if i split the work between two processes on the same machine everything runs perfect. Is there a thread limit per process in the .net framework or in windows? Or why am I getting this behaviour? Could it be a network related problem? I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and i have tried both VS2010 and VS 2012 with the same behaviour.

JEROME, Idaho (AP) - Friends and relatives have crammed into an
Idaho church to mourn 11-year-old Sage Aragon, who died while
trying to trudge through 10 miles of snow on Christmas Day to reach
her mother.
At Wednesday's service, a relative asked for forgiveness for Sage's father, who's charged in her death and the injury of her brother.
The girl died, apparently of hypothermia, after she and her 12-year-old brother tried to walk through snow and freezing temperatures to their mother's house after their father's car got stuck in a snowdrift.
The boy survived. The girl was pronounced dead Friday.
Robert Aragon and his cousin are charged with second-degree murder and are being held on bond.

I've been using PHP all the time.
Any advice to taking on these two languages?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I would say it really depends if you're used to the way OOP (object oriented programming) works. If you're not familiar with this way of thinking I would definately go with the book "Objects First With Java". It might look really, really basic at first, and you might be able to skip the first chapter or two. But if you read it from chapter 2 or 3 or so and finish it, you should have a good amount of knowledge to start building applications.
All the best,
The same way you learned PHP - read the documentation, write some code, compile or execute it, debug it. Repeat until you are good. But don't expect to master a language quickly - anyone can learn to write code in a given language, but it takes time and effort to actually write good, high quality, and idiomatic code in that language.
The way I learn new languages is to read the documentation and other people's source code. It really helps to see what is possible in the language, without having it all wrapped up in academic speak. Books are also helpful, if you have the time/patience to read through them. A really good idea is to look up programs written in those languages and see if you can write the pseudo code for the programs. Then compare those to the source code and see what the difference is.
The best way to learn Ruby and/or Java is to forget the "PHP way" and to tackle each new language under their own idioms.
Both Ruby and Java have a fair selection of books (dead tree, electronic, free and non-free) as well as numerous free online tutorials. Ruby even has a nifty online interactive tutorial by _why (you did search didn't you?).
Learning the basic operation and syntax of each language is essential to avoid wasting time with random guessing as to why X doesn't work like Y. (Hint: If X doesn't work like Y, it's because X isn't Y.)
Trying to learn two languages at once is probably not the best idea. Ruby is quite similar to PHP, so the transition may be fairly simple, depending on your prior experience with other dynamic languages. You may find this site useful: http://railsforphp.com/
I recommend you try and build basic applications. Have a target, use the documentation and search the blogs or ask somebody if you're stuck. That's how I learned Ruby.
Also, for Ruby and Rails documentation I like APIdock, too bad they don't have Ruby 1.9 (which I recommend you use).
Click this: code-golf
Then solve all the challenges that got at least 10 upvotes in both Java and Ruby. Don't worry about the golf-scoring part, just do the best you can. If you post your efforts you may get some feedback, and you can compare your results with others.
Keep it enjoyable and simple at first. Use the learning style that works for YOU. If you like reading docs - great, otherwise you'll just end up with a nasty aftertaste. I'll say keep it enjoyable again because your initial exposure/experience can be greatly influenced by how you hit it off with a new language. Try to approach it from an angle of familiarity, you will find that there's some overlap between what you know and the new material. It will help if you can introduce the new stuff with as much ease as possible.
Recall what speaks to you or demonstrates most effectively when you learn and plot your course based on that. If you like books, find one that suites your style. Most of the books will give you most of the same information so what will make the most difference in a case like this is style of the book. For me "Java Objects" by J. Baker did the trick, my friend swears by "Thinking in Java". ... or find some screencasts if you like screencasts.
Then of course fire up the debugger and step though some code, but what ever you do first make sure you're enjoying it.
Start with Ruby. There is a wonderful online tutorial that lets you try Ruby right in your browsers. It covers the essentials of flow control and collections.
Java and PHP have more in common syntactically than Ruby and PHP. Sometimes that makes it harder instead of easier when learning a new language. That's why I think learning Ruby before Java will help. Ruby is also a lot easier to learn than Java, so the emotional return is greater and you'll be more equipped for Java.
As to learning Java, start with a Tutorial using Tapestry. Not so that you learn Tapestry, but so you gain the benefit of rapid development.
"Java developers love it because they can make Java code changes and see them immediately ... no redeploy, no restart!"
The down side to Tapestry is potential mess of setting up Tomcat.
I'd recommend getting yourself familiar an IDE (i.e. Eclipse) and working through some basic HelloWorld-esque problems. This will let you understand the lifecycle of a java program and some basic I/O. Maybe even take parts of a PHP project you've written and port it over to Java to get the basic syntax ideas down.

No need to tell me of how stupid I might have been, I know that all too well. Anyway I have a huge problem, at least that is the way I see it. I edited the 'funcion.php' and added a line. '<?php _e( 'View full post', 'graphene' ); ?>' this specific line. Suggested in this topic
After I had clicked to update, everything went down. I mean everything. I can't visit the page anymore. I tried different devices. Also I am unable to access the administrative parts to change anything back. The page is helen.edu.ee and I'm in hurry to update it. You can say that this mistake was probably done by hurrying, but I can't take that back.
The only other thing I did today, was that I installed a plugin called 'styling localization' or something similar.
Please help me! I am in need of assistance.

7-5A titles up for grabs
Published: Friday, December 14, 2007 at 10:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 14, 2007 at 11:19 a.m.
I cant tell you which boys or girls team will win respective championships in the local Class 5A basketball district (7-5A) this season, but I can tell you we will have different winners than last season.
With Ellender Memorial moving down to Class 4A after sweeping the titles last season, that opens up the door for a number of teams in both boys and girls play to take home 7-5A championships.
The girls open district play Tuesday, and the boys start district on Jan. 2.
With the Lady Patriots, who won the Class 5A title this season, out, the South Lafourche Lady Tarpons may be the early favorite in what looks to be a wide-open race.
South Lafourche returns a number of players from last year, and are off to a fast start. The Lady Tarpons have played some of the top teams in state so far, so they should be ready for the start of district.
Terrebonne is a program on the up. After struggling for a few years, coach Greg Knox has the Lady Tigers in a position to compete for their first district title in years.
Central Lafourche has some good wins this season, and could be in the playoff mix, and Assumption has the capability to score points night in and night out.
Thibodaux and H.L. Bourgeois are both young teams that can be dangerous and will challenge for district victories, and South Terrebonne is getting better.
On the boys side, it will be one of those anyone-can-beat-anyone-on-any-night district seasons.
Even when Ellender, the Class 5A runner-up last season, was in the district, it got all it wanted in district play.
So far, South Lafourche has opened the season on a tear.
Despite falling to H.L. Bourgeois Thursday night in tournament play, coach Brian Callais team is 12-1 on the season.
Not far behind South Lafourche is Thibodaux, which lost just two seniors off a playoff team last year.
Coach Tony Clark has Thibodaux at 11-3 and playing well.
H.L. Bourgeois has some good wins in the nondistrict season over Thibodaux, Vandebilt Catholic, East St. John and Terrebonne.
Terrebonne took a tough loss early in the season when it lost starting point guard Stan Coleman to a severe ankle injury.
No one is sure of the status of his injury. Theres no doubt Terrebonne has lots of talent, but they may need Coleman to stay in the district race.
Assumption has some good players, and I think they have one of the best home-court advantages in the area.
Its just tough to go to Napoleonville and win.
Once again, South Terrebonne is guard-oriented, which fits right into the style of play throughout the district.
Central Lafourche is coming off a season in which it lost four of its five starters, and the struggling Trojans are still waiting to get a couple of key players eligible.
No one knows for sure whats going to happen in the District 7-5A hardwood races this season, but thats what will make this district season on both sides so much fun.

When I click screen options, I don't see an option for Custom Fields.
I don't know what's wrong.
I contacted the Theme developer and they told me that it has been tested to work in 3.1.3 and that something must be wrong in my installation....
any ideas?

Yeah, it would be nice to elaborate... :)
It does seem to have a long loading time - part of this is Google's fault, though I just pushed version 1.3.3 of the plugin to the repo as it adds the language part of the JavaScript to the include tag and should improve performance.
Let me know if you're seeing any more issues.

To be clear, the scoring actually happens in each credit...
To be clear, the scoring actually happens in each credit reporting agency's computer system and is delivered simultaneously with the credit report. FICO develops the scoring algorythm (or model) that is used to compute the score -- and each CRA has their own special FICO scoring model.
My concern had to do with my missing credit history, all of which is positive and would only tend to increase my FICO score.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - JVC America Inc., citing a decline in demand for CDs, is cutting its permanent work force in Tuscaloosa County by about 10 percent.
The company makes CDs and DVDs at its plant in Cottondale.
Company officials say they now have fewer than 400 permanent workers in Cottondale. They declined to say how many workers are losing their jobs.
The company said that, over the past two years, the troubled economy combined with less demand for CDs resulted in excess capacity and sharp declines in CD manufacturing prices.
Company officials say they will continue to make CDs and DVDs and will invest in new forms of content delivery.

Charity hat question
I am really working on decreasing my stash and I have been knitting kids hats for a charity project using my odd balls.I have 2 balls of Patons shetland chunky that would make a great hat but the content is 75% acrylic and 25% wool and the washing instructions say not to put in the dryer-I am uncertain if I should this yarn-I'd hate for someone to get a nice warm hat and have it shrink.Any ideas?
Hmm... Most 75/25 blends I have say you can machine wash and dry. What is the brand and name of it?
She wrote:
you could.....shrink it for them. knit a little bit big, then wash and preshrink. After the initial shrinkage, it should stop. (Right?)
You can knit a swatch, wash, dry and check gauge... that way you'll know for sure... or knit a scarf... if it shinks a bit, no biggie.
You might still want to pre-shrink it, just so it fits to begin with.
The good news is that if a hat's a tiny bit small it's not usually a problem. Just makes it stay on better. ;)
It's similar to Woolease by Lion brand. That one is 70% acrylic, 20% wool, and 10% another material. You are supposed to be able to wash it. I've read that some people are using Woolease as cheaper substitute for superwash wool. To be sure, knit a small swatch, wash it, and see what happens. I suspect it will act like Woolease and not be a problem.

Bondage Boutique Advanced Leather and Suede Paddle

Packs a punch
Reviewed: June 21, 2016 by Ash2345, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
Not for the faint-hearted, the first hit with this drew such a moan from my lips (maybe best to start off a little lighter). Definitely gave me that slightly anxious but excited feeling before the next one.
Don't know what, if anything, is in the middle, but it's rigid. The suede feels soft, a few strokes from this may lull you into a false sense of security. The suede even slightly softens the blow. The leather side on the other hand, whilst feeling smooth and smelling amazing, really has nothing to protect you. Of course you could just have a lovely partner spank you gently with it, but where's the fun in that?
We took the strap off ours, the other end was just the perfect size to reach between my legs and give my clit a little spanking too.
Beautifully made, no matter immersed you are in BDSM I don't think you'll be disappointed.
- Pros
- Beautifully made, looks good, feels good.
- Cons
- Erm.... well...er....
- Bottom line
- Fantastic quality product, definitely worth the money.

Reviewed: May 9, 2016 by James X, a Straight Married Male
My wife and I recently made a relatively large and varied first purchase of items (bondage, other toys and clothing) from Lovehoney, including this paddle, and are pleased we did.
We enjoy many sorts of bedroom games of which bondage, my acting as dominating to her submissive, is one. That is one of her favourite fantasies and I aim to arouse and please her and in so doing be aroused and pleased.
Lovehoney's helpful videos and attitude in selling bondage items is reassuring. Whilst 50 Shades of Grey (though not all of us like it) may have normalised bondage as a concept, Lovehoney go one step further and make the fantasy accessible to all in a friendly way.
We picked this paddle along with other items to elicit arousal from her perception of 'pain'. One of the beauties of this paddle is that it comes with a suede side, where the other is leather. Therefore, softer strokes can be applied as well as the more 'stinging'.
The more aroused (it is probably universally true) the more pain my wife can accept and (it is iterative) then the more aroused she becomes. If the spanking becomes too much from her, I go rather more gently. This product makes this practice easier, given its two sides.
It is certainly true, as with many Lovehoney items, that not only is this paddle effective, it looks nice and well made. The dual colour, red suede, black leather sides option, which we picked rather than all black, adds to the impression.
In the realm of games, bondage can be for some a satisfying expression of (loving) lust. It is a fantasy that attracts many. For us, its attraction is limited to the bedroom and to the moment, whilst for others, it can become a sort of 'lifestyle'. Perhaps as a potential purchaser of this paddle, you fall into one or the other category. By way of amusement to us both and maybe to you too, to demonstrate our attitude, relaxing together after one fun and sexually arousing evening of bondage sex where I dominated my wife in a masterful fashion, including with this item, I suggested she might like to get us a glass of water. Rather pointedly, she said, 'Go get it yourself!' Nothing like returning to reality with a bump! We still smile at that.
In putting together a balanced review of this product (we appreciated others customer reviews when we made this purchase and others from Lovehoney) it is important to point out pros and cons. However, though that is not so in every case, we found nothing to dislike in this paddle, rather much to like.
We both feel anyone should feel confident in buying it. The item is exactly as Lovehoney describe it.
Highly rated and recommended by us both.
- Pros
- Its look and its effectiveness.
- Cons
- Nothing to dislike.
- Bottom line
- Highly rated.

Perfect paddle
Reviewed: January 23, 2016 by LeilaK, a Straight Engaged Female
I love a good spanking, but I have never tried a paddle. So after browsing Lovehoney to choose the perfect paddle, this Bondage Boutique one caught my eye. I purchased it in the 3 for £60 bondage offer, which is a fantastic buy! It arrived in the usual Lovehoney style in a discreet brown box, with quick delivery.
The paddle is packaged inside in a plastic bag, with a bondage Boutique label attached to the handle. This is a high quality paddle and it is very well made, it is sturdy with some flexibility. Upon opening, I was impressed, it has the most glorious smell of leather. Giving it a thorough inspection, it was perfectly stitched. It also features a handy leather loop at the end of the paddle, for added security and storage.
The paddle itself looks gorgeous, (I picked the black one) and feels even better. Featuring two textures, leather on one side, and suede on the other. I ran the suede side along my hand, it was lovely and soft. Turning it over the cold leather felt lovely and smooth. I showed my OH and we were so excited to try it.
In use, this paddle is fantastic as it can be used gently with the suede side, delivering a dull thud, which is not painful. Perfect for a warm up for the leather side. When wielded with force, the leather side will give a satisfying thuddy sting. I was left with a bright red bottom, tingling all over. My OH kindly stroked my bottom with the cold leather side after play, and it felt divine.
This paddle provides a wonderful loud crack, as it makes contact with the skin. My OH even let me give him a few spanks with it, although he is not into impact play. I enjoyed using it, the handle is shaped so it's easy to hold, it has a good weight to it, and it can be wielded as gently or as hard as you like!
Overall, I am really pleased with my first paddle. It is of a high quality and very well made. I would highly recommend to beginners wishing to experiment with spanking. Experienced players alike would also appreciate this paddle.
- Pros
- High quality leather, gorgeous, smells amazing, features two-textures.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Feels fantastic, I highly recommend it!

Katie Lee Joel's Man Loaf Is Really Amazing
Five reasons we love the wife of Billy Joel and author of The Comfort Table.
Until today, there were four reasons that, despite our better judgment, we kind of loved Katie Lee Joel.
1. She is from West Virginia and met Billy Joel in a hotel lobby when she was 21 and he was 54 and got him to marry her. "We joke that he's very immature for his age, because he has a job that has allowed him to be, and I am very mature for my age," she once said. "So we sort of meet in the middle."
2. She has stayed married him for five entire years, even though he has shown no real signs of dying any time soon.
3. Despite not having to work, she does anyway.
4. Even though she got replaced on Top Chef by that other lady who likes 'em short, round, bald, and old, she has persevered with her dream of becoming a food star, lately with her new cookbook, The Comfort Table which she celebrated the release of the other night.
If this life trajectory does not embody the current version of the American Dream, we don't know what does.
And then today, we discovered a fifth reason we love Katie Lee Joel. Apparently, she has created very special dish that she completely unselfconsciously calls "Man Loaf," as though that is not the grossest name for a thing ever, and she talks about it all the time, most recently, "Page Six" tells us, to Beth Ostrovsky at her book party. "God, is it moist, too! That is really moist!" Oprah said, when Katie and Billy brought it on the show. We bet Billy got a chuckle out of that.

Taiwanese banks will start allowing customers to open Chinese yuan accounts and remit funds to the mainland from Wednesday, officials said, in the latest sign of warming economic ties between the former rivals.
The regulations, which follow an agreement signed last August, are expected to lower the risk of exchange rate fluctuation and the cost of currency exchange, officials said.
Trade between Taiwan and the mainland amounted to $168.96 billion in 2012 according to Chinese figures.
As of Tuesday, the offshore banking units of 45 financial institutions in Taiwan had forged a currency settlement agreement with the Taipei branch of Bank of China, said an official with Taiwan's Central Bank of China.
Under the agreement, individuals can deposit and withdraw up to 20,000 yuan per day ($3,180) and wire up to 80,000 yuan to China per day.
Previously people wishing to send money to China were forced to route funds through a third country or use illegal underground channels.
Taiwan and China have signed a number of financial memorandums of understanding in recent years in a bid to facilitate closer cooperation in banking, insurance and securities.
The two have been governed separately since a civil war in 1949, but Beijing considers the island part of its territory and has vowed to get it back, by force if necessary.
However, ties have improved markedly since Beijing-friendly Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou assumed power in 2008. He was reelected in January last year for a second and last four-year term.

Report: Clippers exploring leaving Lakers at Staples Center, getting their own arena
The Clippers don't just play second fiddle to the Lakers in Los Angeles. They play second fiddle to the Lakers in their own arena.
Unless the Clippers want to move from the NBA's second-biggest market, the former isn't changing.
The Latter?
Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN:
The Clippers want to escape the Lakers' shadow. Leaving the Staples Center wouldn't turn the Clippers into L.A.'s team, but it'd give them a new avenue for attention — and revenue.
Of course, if the Clippers stay in the Staples Center, they'll want the best terms possible. Leaking interest in a new arena only helps their bargaining position.
Report: Wizards unlikely to extend Otto Porter's contract
The small forward of the Wizards' dreams, Kevin Durant, plays for the Warriors.
So, Washington is left with Otto Porter.
How do the Wizards feel about that?
J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic:
Otto Porter appears likely to become a restricted free agent next summer, with no movement towards an extension to his rookie scale contract with the Wizards before starting the 2016-17 season, league sources tell CSNmidatlantic.com.
Porter, the No. 3 pick in the 2013 draft, has steadily improved in his three NBA seasons. He didn't exactly take off last season from his breakout 2015 playoffs, but he's still on an upward trend.
Just 23, Porter should continue in the right direction.
The combo forward a good and long defender. He gets out well in transition, shoots reasonably well from outside and minimizes his mistakes.
Without knowing offer terms, it's impossible to say whether the Wizards are waiting to see more or Porter is betting on himself. Quite possibly, it's somewhere in between.
Draymond Green says he didn't talk much with Kevin Durant during playoffs
Thunder players were reportedly bothered by the relationship between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green last season.
The Warriors recruited Durant throughout the year, but that got complicated when Golden State met Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals.
But Green says the players didn't cross a line.
Green (hat tip: Erik Horne of The Oklahoman):
Me and KD weren't really talking during the playoffs. During the playoffs, it's a little different. More is at stake. So, we weren't talking much, and that's normal. So, I heard something come out where they said, "Oh, Kevin Durant and Draymond was talking during the playoffs." They were lying. But if that's what they want to believe, if that makes them feel better about themselves — and when I say "them," I'm talking about whoever, whoever's saying it — then believe it. But they're wrong.
If Green and Durant kept their distance during the postseason, that seems reasonable.
Durant's former co-workers shouldn't have a right to dictate his friends outside work, but when there's direct competition, it's a little different. It's fair to ask Durant to separate himself from Green then.
There's still no perfect solution. Durant's and Green's prior relationship opened the door for questions. But suggesting Durant and Green never should have bonded in the first place is unrealistic.
So, there's little left to do but hope Durant and Green handled it was well as Green said they did.
Enes Kanter on claim nobody wants to play with Russell Westbrook: 'Wrong!!!'
Kevin Durant might have left the Thunder, in part, because he grew tired of playing with Russell Westbrook.
But does that mean nobody wants to play with Westbrook?
Presented with that claim, Oklahoma City center Enes Kanter refuted it strongly:
Of course, many players want to play with Russell Westbrook. He's a great player and even better competitor. People want to be around someone so maniacal about winning and capable of delivering.
But there's an obvious difference between Kanter and Durant. It's much easier for a pick-and-roll big man than a superstar wing to play with Westbrook.
Westbrook tends to over-dribble, and he can be selfish. I'd understand Durant preferring a team with more ball movement like the Warriors.
Kanter doesn't have the cachet to pick any team at any salary like Durant did. Of his options, Kanter is probably genuinely happy to play with Westbrook. And the Thunder should be happy to have Westbrook (as long as they do). His strengths far outweigh his flaws.
No scoring star seamlessly blend with each other. Even LeBron James and Dwyane Wade — close friends and one an elite passer — struggled to mesh early in their Heat days. It's just hard when there's one ball.
So, it's unfair to kill Westbrook for this drawback to his game. Maybe he'd click better with another star who's more aggressive than Durant. And it's not even as if Westbrook and Durant failed together. Oklahoma City won a lot of games with those two.
Plenty of players would sign up to replace Durant as Westbrook's partner in crime.

|Needs documentation:

|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Ticket #6928 was reopened to report this, so I (Malcolm) am moving it to a new ticket, since it's a separate issue. Following text is from comment:7 on that ticket:
After [14288] transaction.commit_on_success does not handle KeyboardInterrupt.
Problem in django.db.transaction.Transaction.__exit__ and default exiting function.
def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback): self.exiting(exc_value, self.using)
exc_value is None after KeyboardInterrupt has been throwed, only exc_type and traceback has value.
But if raise KeyboardInterrupt manualy from code it's work ok.
Possible solution: use exc_type and exc_value in exiting function
I use python 2.6.6

- Resolution set to needsinfo
- Status changed from new to closed
I'm sorry, but this report doesn't contain enough information to reproduce the problem. How can you get a KeyboardInterrupt within transaction.commit_on_success?
I wrote this test code:
# models.py from django.db import models class FooModel(models.Model): foo = models.CharField(max_length=42) # views.py import time from django.db import transaction from .models import FooModel @transaction.commit_on_success def interrupt_me(request): FooModel.objects.create(foo='foo') print "Hit Ctrl-C now!" time.sleep(5) print "Too late, and I didn't bother to return a HttpResponse"
and hooked the view in the URLconf.
Then I ran: ./manage.py runserver --traceback
I open the URL in a browser, and during the sleep, I hit Ctrl-C in the console. runserver exits cleanly, with or without transaction.commit_on_success.
Please provide a test case or instructions to reproduce your problem and re-open the ticket.

- Resolution needsinfo deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
I've been able to reproduce it with the following code (you can insert it in regressiontests/transactions_regress/tests.py):
def test_rollback_on_keyboardinterrupt(self): import time try: with transaction.commit_on_success(): Mod.objects.create(fld=17624) print "Hit Ctrl-C now!" time.sleep(5) print "Too late, and I didn't bother to return a HttpResponse" except KeyboardInterrupt: pass self.assertEqual(Mod.objects.all().count(), 0)
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to simulate a Ctrl-C programmatically, so as to be able to include a real test. Ideas welcome.

AES E-Library
The Relationship Between Interchannel Time and Level Differences in Vertical Sound Localization and Masking
Listening experiments were conducted with a pair of vertically arranged loudspeakers. A group of subjects measured the level of delayed height channel signal at which any subjective effects of the signal became completely inaudible (masked threshold) as well as that at which the perceived sound image was localised fully at the lower loudspeaker (localised threshold), at nine different delay times ranging from 0 to 50ms. The sound sources were anechoic recordings of bongo and cello performance excerpts. At the delay times up to 5ms, source type did not have a significant effect for both threshold results and neither threshold varied significantly as the delay time increased. In this time range the average level reduction required for a full image shift was 6~7dB while that for masking was 9~10dB. At the higher delay times, on the other hand, both thresholds decreased as the delay time increased and the difference between the two sources in both threshold results was significant. Furthermore, the relationship between the two thresholds varied depending on the source type.

text: I think I really messed something up at WordPress. I tried to transfer my domain name (www.livresedoestresse.com.br) from wordpress to blogger as a test. However, I don't know how, even after removing the name from the blogger blog, I completely lost the wordpress configuration. If I write http://www.livresedoestresse.com.br, it takes a long time to load and, then, it loads with no configuration at all. And when I try to login (www.livresedoestresse.com.br/wp-admin), it redirects to another domain of mine, but with no page yet. So, I can't make changes to wordpress blog at all.

The goal of precision, or personalized, medicine is to deliver the right drug to the right person at the right time. This requires a deep understanding of the changes in breast cancer that occur throughout the course of treatment. Dr. Hicks is collaborating with BCRF grantees Peter Kuhn (Univeristy of Southern California) and Michael Wigler (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, NY) in the development and validation of technologies that have made it possible to study breast cancers at the cellular level with a simple blood draw, or fluid biopsy. His ongoing work with Dr. Kuhn aims to optimize and implement a comprehensive fluid biopsy for breast cancer by incorporating the proteomic and genomic information from circulating cancer cells and circulating tumor DNA to obtain a complete description of the disease. This research combines technology development with mathematical analysis to create a single assay that leverages a variety of information found in blood and circulating cells. Using a biorepository from nearly 100 early and late stage patients they will assess the presence of both cells and cell-free DNA, analyzing the full range of cell types present in each sample, while increasing the sensitivity of the platform to detect mutations in circulating tumor DNA. The results from these efforts will enable the first truly comprehensive fluid biopsy and accelerate the path to personalized medicine.
Tumors are composed of a complex mixture of cells with different genomic makeups that influence response to treatment and tumor behavior. Since developing the first single cell genomic methods in 2011, Drs. Wigler and Hicks have applied the continued support of BCRF to the dual goals of improving the technology and applying it to the challenge of providing physicians with new diagnostic tools that will take breast cancer therapy to a new level of precision and effectiveness. In the coming year they will focus on profiling the genome of rare cells and circulating DNA in samples of blood. Using a novel technology called RepSeq they will be able to reduce the cost of single cell genomics, making the technology accessible for large-scale clinical trials, while advancing another sequencing-based technology for the early detection of recurrent breast cancer through a blood test. Other efforst include studying the tumor microenvironment to advance our understanding of how cells become metastatic, and the role of the immune system in that process and in therapeutic response.
Dr. Hicks is a molecular geneticist using genomics to study the initiation and progression of cancer in human patients with the goal of developing clinical assays for improving the treatment of the disease. His current studies expand on his previous work on the development of single cell genomic analysis in two important areas: first, to define the degree and mechanisms of cancer heterogeneity and response to therapy in breast and other solid tumors; and second, to apply single cell sequencing technology to fluid biopsies, procedures that can identify cancer cells in blood, bone marrow or even urine. These minimally invasive procedures provide the means to monitor cancer treatment sequentially during treatment is underway, to understand what changes take place in response to treatment and to alter treatment when necessary, a crucial component of the next generation of precision oncology.
Dr. Hicks has recently joined the newly formed Institute for Convergent Science at the University of Southern California in 2015 and will split his appointment between USC and Cold Spring Harbor for the next academic year. His career has been split between academics and the biotechnology industry, co-founding several successful companies, and co-authoring over 100 research publications and 8 patent applications.
Dr. Hicks serves on the Board of Directors of one public company (NASDAQ: BBSI) and is a Co-founder and Director of two privately held companies. He is also a scientific advisor to several early stage biotechnology companies.

Everyone who read my first blog knows that I love to snowmobile. This year, however, has been the worst snow year in memory. There just simply isn't much good snow in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or Montana. However, I'm beginning to think that recently I've become a "snow magnet". About a month ago I was in Boston and they got about 2' of snow in the city. Almost didn't get in and took a while to get out. Now I'm in the beginning stages of a European VSTS tour where I'm meeting with customers in several European cities and its down right cold, and snowing… Last week the European tour started in NY (I know, its not in Europe but its on the way when you're from Seattle). It snowed. About 10" in the city. I gave a presentation to the NY/NJ Architect Council and even though there was about a foot of new snow on the ground in NJ where the talk was held, a few folks braved the weather to hear me speak. It was a great opportunity to talk in a small group setting with some of our potential customers about the Team System. I received a lot of useful feedback about the product and what people wanted. Top takeaways for me from the day were:
From NY I flew into London (and it snowed) but I just spend a day in the MS Soho office before heading out to Italy. I spent a couple days in Venice and it snowed. 6", not just a dusting… Over the last couple of days I've been in Milan where we (myself and Ajay Sudan) a day long set of talks and demos of the Team System in action. Did I mention it snowed in Milan, but didn't stick… Anyway, Ajay tells me he's going to get some of the video from the presentations posted in English in the next few weeks for people to see. Stay tuned on the Team System site for those. I've also spent time with some major customers in the Milan area and again got some very useful feedback including:
My favorite question so far, though, came from a professional journalist for the Italian magazine "DEV". He asked me since I've been working on the project for nearly 5 years from inception to now, what has been the hardest thing… my answer was "building the integrated system that had productivity out of the box day one was so much harder than I expected". We new we wanted a "pay as you go" model where to use the initial tools, you didn't have to invest a lot of "intellectual capital" (think brain power). And that as you needed deeper, richer, more powerful functionality, that you should be able to get at it by investing some more of that intellectual capital. However, we couldn't expose those more complex scenarios to the beginning or basic user of the system. Getting that right (and I wouldn't say we got it all right in version 1 by the way), has been tremendously challenging. Add to that the fact that there are nearly 250 people working on the Team System and their work output had to be integrated and you start to understand my answer…
Well, flight attendant just told me to turn off the laptop, we're about to land in Vienna, Austria. I'll write more when I get a few minutes.

We can easily rate ESA a fantastic place to stay for your vacation. We were checked into the hotel by Alina who was nothing short of fantastic during our stay. In fact the whole front desk was extremely friendly during our stay. Our room was spacious with a flat screen TV, a large fridge, a dish washer, a toaster as well as a coffee maker. Considering I visited in December and January I can bear witness that the heaters in the rooms work very well. The room and shower were clean and the bed was very comfortable. We stayed one and a half month but never felt like away from home. Everything was top notch. The hotel is conveniently located on Fair Ridge Drive and is very near to shopping centers and close to DC area attractions.
We will recommend ESA to family and friends who visit DC and would definitely stay here again.

CLEVELAND -- You can hurl another round of epithets at the San Antonio Spurs if you wish. Run through the usual litany -- boring, winnin' ugly, lucky -- if you just can't bring yourself to salute these guys.
That's fine.
LeBron James has the haters covered.
There's a good chance, even if these Spurs wind up sweeping the NBA Finals, that no one will be calling them dynastic or fantastic. Although it sits just one win away from its third title in five seasons, San Antonio has never won back-to-back championships. The amount of resistance coming from James' Cleveland Cavaliers, furthermore, isn't helping the Spurs' case.
It was still good to hear a humbled James late Tuesday night, reminding his audience that this was no ordinary group that spoiled the first Finals game ever played in this city, pulling out one of its trademark Uglyball specials by the unsightly count of 75-72.
"A world power team," King James, as he's known here, called the Spurs.
As recently as a week ago, given the privilege of asking him, you would have heard James decree that the Detroit Pistons are the team in this league that he "respects the most."
Three games changed that. This one especially.
Even with Hall of Famer Jim Brown sitting courtside for good luck -- a legendary reminder of the pre-Super Bowl NFL championship won in 1964 by the Cleveland Browns, the last champion in this long-suffering city -- James' gang couldn't reward the desperate locals with a solitary, consolation stifling of Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. Not even on a night when Tim Duncan didn't attempt a single free throw until the final quarter in being held to a career-Finals-low 14 points and when Manu Ginobili was held scoreless until the final 10 seconds and when LeBron finally found a way to get to the rim occasionally.
The Cavs' problem?
More than the hobbling Larry Hughes' inability to play or Daniel "Boobie" Gibson going flat in the promotion to the starting lineup so many were calling for, Cleveland's big problem was the opposition. The Spurs simply -- inevitably -- came up with alternative solutions.
Bruce Bowen had as many points as James through three quarters with 13 and also grabbed nine clutch boards. Parker beat the shot-clock buzzer with a huge 3-pointer in the final minute, even though he's been outlawed from shooting 3s all season by coach Gregg Popovich. Speaking of triples, San Antonio somehow drained 10 of them in a low-scoring game like this, going 10-for-19 to Cleveland's 3-for-19 shooting from behind the line.
The team D wasn't bad, either.
"We set the Western World of offensive basketball back 10 years," Popovich said. Yet Pop also added: "I think I can honestly say that these three games is the best defense we've played all season. This is the best defense we've played in the playoffs and it's been back-to-back-to-back, without a doubt."
Consider James convinced, after needing 23 shots to get his 25 points.
"I'm not surprised [about] how tough it is," LeBron said. "I think the Eastern Conference finals was tough and I knew it was going to pick up another level. I think our team senses that also.
"You know, the experience factor, we don't like to make any excuse, but it definitely played a part in this Finals."
The tone of finality in that statement was unintentional but understandable. James has to be discouraged by the unshakable defensive presence of Bowen and his helpers.
Fact is, James has to be accountable for his frequent lack of decisiveness with the ball. He has the strength, speed and agility to cross up Bowen like Utah's Deron Williams did, but Williams made much sharper, quicker moves attacking the Spurs' perimeter ace.
Of course, Williams also had a pick-and-roll partner named Carlos Boozer to keep the Spurs' big men occupied. James doesn't have a teammate close to Boozer's level offensively and didn't have great fortune, either, in Game 3 crunch time. He somehow sandwiched two missed layups around an errant 3-pointer in a three-possession sequence with the Cavs down by a mere 67-63. He also didn't get the ball back on Anderson Varejao's ill-advised layup attempt with 13.9 seconds to go -- with Cavs coach Mike Brown screaming for a timeout -- and didn't get the Dwyane Wade call or the kind bounce on the in-and-out triple that could have forced overtime.
Not that any of those developments could be classified as unexpected, given that James can't get more than one unrushed shot in a row against the Spurs. As his old pal Boozer noted in the previous round, "everything" against San Antonio "is easier said than done."
So call it another non-surprise that the first Finals game in Cleveland in the Cavs' 37-year existence wound up being the game that effectively buried them.
As Ginobili softly summarized, "They did not have a happy night."
The dynasty debate, then, begins in earnest now. Can't see anyone waiting to see how Thursday's Game 4 turns out to start computing the Spurs' place in history.
The Spurs, though, don't sound too hopeful, accustomed as they are to absorbing less-than-flattering reviews.
"There have been very few dynasties," Duncan said over the weekend. "I don't know that we can consider ourselves a dynasty, but that's me on the inside looking out. Dynasties are the things that the Lakers of the '80s and the [old] Celtics [did]. Those are who you consider dynasties -- teams that have done it for many, many, many years. Hopefully we can look back in a couple years and be considered something like that. But, as of now, I can't imagine that we would be considered alongside those guys.
"Winning is our goal. Whatever that equals in the long run, you can define it however you want to."

OFPP wants to improve the quality of contractor data in the Federal Award Performance and Integrity Information System. (Stock image)
The Obama administration is pressing the acquisition workforce to get better at telling other agencies, through a governmentwide online performance database, how well contractors do their jobs.
Joe Jordan, administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, wants to improve the quantity and quality of data agencies put into the Federal Award Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).
FAPIIS is the foundation for good data, Jordan stressed in the memo, dated March 6.
"However, " he added, "agencies must increase their use of these tools, as underreporting performance information leaves the government vulnerable to poor acquisition outcomes in the future."
Jordan gave senior acquisition officials several strategies to get employees entering data. He tells chief acquisition officers and senior procurement executives to:
"Improving the collection and use of this information will increase agencies' ability to deliver better outcomes and increase productivity," Jordan wrote.

The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.
Despite GSA's efforts to accelerate the FedRAMP approval process, the lack of agency reciprocity puts the program's central goals at risk.

The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?
The United Kingdom will go live with its governmentwide digital identity platform, GOV.UK Verify, in the coming days. The U.S. government will need a little more time.
What contracting officer representatives really think is needed to fix contract management.
Procurement officials should not be forced to enter contractor performance data into a stovepipe database as an after-the-fact, make-work activity. Instead, contractor performance should routinley be documented in the ongoing course of managing their performance. Contractor performance plans and reports should be published on agency websites in an open, standard, machine-readable format, like StratML. Those reports should be automatically ingested, indexed, and made available for analyses in services like FAPIIS. (Incidentally, the same is true of Federal employee performance plans, particular SES employee plans.)
What the memo fails to address is why the information is not being entered into PPIRS to begin with, and also why contractor oversight is currently so lax. It is a startling abrogation of ones duties to those responsible with being stewards of taxpayers money, and one that needs corrective actions through enforcement and proper program management.
Past performance, especially for services, should be one of the most important evaluation criteria in selecting a contractor for award. However, the incomplete or missing data, combined with allowing contractors to submit their own evaluations from favored customers, often does not allow for differentiation and drives evaluations in areas that often let irresponsible contractors get way with murder because they offer ridiculously low-prices to win work in this era of institutionalizing "buying in."

Picks and Pans Review: Solitude Standing
Vega, 25, started critics' tongues wagging in 1985 with her first album, a curious mixture ranging from pseudo-rap (Cracking) to wounded love songs (Marlene on the Wall). Her elegantly crafted, alarmingly accessible second album may cause Vega's loyal following to squirm in their faded Levis a bit at having to share her with the population at large. The New York City native can sound like a dyed-in-macramé folksinger one second, shift gears and sound a lot like the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs. Then there's Luka, a track that has a distinctly Southern California rock feel. Producers Lenny Kaye and Steve Addabbo have given Vega enough room to profit from the pop grooves on the album without weakening her strength as a folkie. Gypsy, for instance, is a gorgeous, bouncy tune that is probably the most traditional folk song on the album, offering Vega the chance to keep bearing the torch for such grand dames as Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. (Vega has been compared with Mitchell, but in fairness to Joni, the younger woman comes up short in vocal range.) Vega's lyrics create stark vignettes about urban life, and the imagery is quite visceral: "If you were to kill me now right here/ I would still look you in the eye/ And I would burn myself into your memory as long as you were still alive." Her backup band is solid, with guitarist Marc Shulman and bassist Michael Visceglia (once a member of Lou Reed's Velvet Underground) especially noteworthy. They help support the impression that Vega seems to be searching for new musical ground. Folk purists, however reluctant they may be to share her with the population at large, should come along for the journey. (A&M)
