Everytime at the end of the German national anthem for Vettel I'm humming the start of the Italian national anthem…
I guess I've seen so many Schumacher & Ferrari wins the Italian anthem seems glued to the end of the German one….
If only. The Austrian anthem is the worst one I've ever heard
We did once when he won for Toro Rosso !
I remember Allen saying how it was ominous that it was the same sequence as we got used to with Schumacher. Guess he was right!
What was everyone's opinion on that 'British' national anthem, 'Gad Save our Queen', today?
Personally I thought it was a disgrace.
@strontium – Oh, Alesha Dixon completely ruined it, and I didn't think it was possible to ruin something that sounds so dull! We need a more chirpy upbeat anthem I think.
Not only that, but surely the entire solo singing before a sporting event an American tradition? That isn't wanted in Britain.
@strontium it happens here in Australia too, and personally I think it's better that way. However I think it depends on the country. The Australian, American and Canadian anthems are all songs that are very specifically about the country. I mean, any monarchy could have God Save the Queen/King as the anthem, it's not very specific to the country. But if any country other than Australia, America or Canada had "Advance Australia Fair", "O Canada" or "The Star Spangled Banner" as anthems it would obviously be silly (although in the latter, the USA is never actually specifically mentioned).
Basically what I'm trying to say is that, in my mind, the lyrics in the above anthems are much more significant and specific to the country than in the British anthem.
I really don't see why Brits seem to noy like their Anthem.
Maybe there should be a referendum to replace it with Dancing with the Moonlit Knight though :p
Well, all those Brits complaining about the ridiculous levels of nationalism is last years Russian GP sure need to take a look at how they act themselves.
Would just like to say as a disclaimer, I wasn't one of those! (Or I hope not at least.) And I personally don't mind God Save the Queen, I think it is quite a tune!
True @xtwl. National anthem before a race is a bit of an anachronism, but seeing as a lot of the countries are subsidising the races, it's a concession from Bernie. If only they could play the Sex Pistols version instead..
On Americanisation, as the dominant English culture in a globalised world, it's noticeable that British culture is adopting more and more facets of it as time goes on.
I was surprised that they had the Royal Marines Band (I think that's what they're called?) doing their usual business at the front of the grid, but got someone else to sing the anthem acapella. I thought they always did the rendition of the athem…
@davidnotcoulthard might be a tad too long for the podium ceremonies. Mind you, it's shorter than the Austrian one!
God Save the Queen is terrible at the best of times, but Alesha Dixon's version was pretty cringeworthy.
Forgetting the lyrics of the anthem for one moment (which I don't like) but the tune of God Save the Queen is just so borig. "God Save our gracious Queen, long live our noble queen…" Eurgh. At least with Fratelli D'Italia or La Marseillaise they have a good tune to them, and before a sporting occasion they would get you pumped up to represent your country (although when you look into the lyrics a bit further they are surprisingly violent.)
I live in hope that one day a British race winner will launch into a lusty rendition of the following:

At this year's Patron Party, they will have a little extra something for guests. Imagine, instead of pulling up to the house in your car like every other year, you are ferried across Lake Sherwood, watching the colors of the sunset dance across the water while the boat sweeps across the lake toward the dock near the Showhouse. That's right, party-goers will have the option to arrive at the Showhouse by pontoon, weather permitting. However, for those landlubbers who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, Showhouse organizers will also have shuttles to transport guests from designated parking areas to the party. Several families living in the Sherwood community have generously volunteered their time and boats to make possible the serene ride across Sherwood Lake. You can bet the pontoons will be decked out with fine decorations. The $65 ticket price gets you admission, a first look at the redesigned house, fabulous food and drinks and all the merriment you could want. This year's Patron Party, held April 15, is Caribbean-themed. Suggested dress is party casual. Contact the ERC office (785.357.5171 or email firstname.lastname@example.com) for information about purchasing your ticket. Act quickly though, ticket reservations until April 12, 2011! Learn more about the items being auctioned off at the Patron Party to visit their website. Keep up with Showhouse info. on their new blog.

Using Cases in Introductory Physics
Debora M. Katz
If you teach physics to non-physics majors for a long enough time, you are bound to be asked, "Why do I need to know this?" This question may seem hostile, and so we appeal to the student's most selfish interest and answer, "Because it is on the test," or "Because you need to it know it for the next required class." Perhaps the student's question is born out of a genuine curiosity. It seems likely that students may want to know how the physics that they learn in our classroom fits into their experience of the world. In fact, being able to answer that question may be the single most important thing you do for your students. Many students cannot learn physics without knowing why they are required to do so.
For the moment, imagine that you are a student who hopes to become a medical doctor, an electrical engineer, or a United States senator. You are in a physics class either in high school or college, and you have just spent three hours in a laboratory measuring the kinematics of a cart. A bright, curious student is likely to wonder why such a laboratory is important. Think of the sort of answers that might satisfy you.
For example:
- Studying the motion of a cart may seem trivial and perhaps boring. However, we work with the cart because it is simple, and this allows us to focus on the mathematical description of motion. This is the foundation for studying more complicated motion.
- Since so many things (our hearts, particles in a conductor, people on public trains) are in motion, the description of motion is the beginning of understanding a wide variety of phenomena. So whether you want to be a doctor, an engineer or a legislator, understanding motion is an important part of your preparation.
- The laboratory helps to develop your skills. You practice making quantitative measurements and estimating the error in those measurements. You learn the difference between experimental errors and mistakes.
- For over 1500 years, people did not understand the nature of motion. One of the great achievements of science is developing a mathematical description of motion. It was an important step in our understanding of nature. Understanding nature allows us to know ourselves better, and determines how humanity works together. All educated people should understand nature in general, and motion in particular.
I think you would be more satisfied with one of these answers than with just knowing that you will be tested on the laboratory.
These are terrific answers, but what is the best way to persuade your students that these claims are true? You have probably seen the ancient Chinese proverb:
I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
I do and I understand
The proverb tells us that when our students listen to a lecture or watch us demonstrate a concept, they don't learn as much as when they are actively engaged. You probably use some active learning techniques in your classroom, in the hope that your students will better understand important concepts such as Newton's laws or Maxwell's equations. But while a laboratory measuring the kinematics of a cart is likely to deepen students' understanding of motion, such experiences do not answer your students' most fundamental question of why they should learn these physics concepts in the first place.
Just as lecturing is not an effective way to teach physics concepts, it is not an effective way to address this fundamental question either. Case studies are active learning projects that address not only particular physics concepts, but also the importance of physics. In general a case study has two parts: a motivating or exciting setup and a challenge to be solved by the students. A student working on a case study is like Sherlock Holmes solving a mystery. The student sees the importance of the challenge and is excited to find the solution.
A case study may be used to draw a connection between the concepts learned in the classroom and challenges faced in the outside world. For example, suppose a trucking company is being sued because one of its drivers collided with a car. Based on data taken at the scene and reported in a newspaper article, students can determine whether the truck driver was exceeding the speed limit. The motivation is making sure that justice is done. The challenge is for students to find the driver's speed. Such a case study shows students that the basic (and sometimes boring) concepts they learn in our laboratories make a difference in people's lives. (Will the trucking company lose the suit?)
A case study may also be used to show the importance and the process of scientific discovery. For example, a case may include an imaginary dialogue between historic figures such as Galileo and Aristotle. Aristotle would argue that a force is required to keep an object in motion. Galileo would disagree; he would argue that a net force will cause the object to accelerate. The debate is exciting. Students are challenged to evaluate each figure's argument. Working through the same struggle that took people more than a millennium to sort out helps students to see the important place of science in human understanding.
This particular case study works nicely as an introduction to a kinematics (or dynamics) laboratory. In order to understand the difference between Aristotle's and Galileo's theories, students learn to take friction into account as a source of error. Then they are better able to distinguish between laboratory errors and human mistakes.
There is another benefit to using a case study that involves fictional dialogue; it allows students to address their own preconceptions. It is possible to include many common preconceptions in a fictional dialogue. When students work through such a case study, they learn how their preconceptions are connected to their formal study of physics. This process of connecting their preconceptions to physics concepts helps to break down the notion that there is one sort of physics used in the classroom, and another sort of physics used in the more complicated outside world.
My students wrote some of the best case studies I have seen. Whenever I teach non-physics majors, I always include a term project in which students ask and answer a question using the physics covered on our syllabus. Students are willing to tackle complicated and interesting problems when they choose the problem for themselves. The problems they choose to solve are generally more involved than any homework problem, and there is no doubt that in solving them, students see the importance of physics in their lives. Here are some examples:
- One runner wanted to know if she should buy a new type of running shoe. She borrowed a piece of the track from the coach and a new shoe from another runner. She used these to measure the coefficients of static friction between the new shoe and the track, and also between the old shoe and the track. She used techniques similar to ones she used in one of our boring laboratory exercises. She found that the old shoes had a slightly higher coefficient of static friction.
- A movie fan wanted to know why we haven't built a light saber as featured in the Star Wars movies. He learned to isolate a single answerable question, "How many batteries would it take to power a light saber?" Based on particular scenes in the movies, he estimated the number of batteries that would be required. He applied principles from thermodynamics and electricity and magnetism. He found that great number of batteries required would make the light saber too heavy to be practical.
- A student interested in the classics learned that in ancient Greece, self-propelling carts were used to move scenery around in theatrical productions. He wanted to know if such a cart could be used to move the actors. His analysis involved free-body diagrams, rotational kinematics and conservation principles. While he had done more than enough work to complete the assignment, he also decided to build a scale model of the device. It looked something like the carts we use in our laboratories.
Debora Katz has been teaching physics at the United States Naval Academy since 1995. She is currently working on a case-based textbook for university physics.

The web changed things. It's dictated the path of Android, iOS and Chrome OS. All three are operating systems that approach menial computer tasks in an entirely different way:
- they store things in the cloud
- they hide the filesystem from you
- they've shed the shackles of the traditional desktop and windowing metaphor
We no longer have to discuss whether it was actually Xerox PARC that invented the "Recycle Bin" concept, we can instead discuss whether we even need one (( The answer is yes, but not for files. Could be for closed tabs, or it could hold an "Undo" history perhaps. )). It's exciting. A computer no longer has to have a floppy or a disc drive. In fact, often times you don't even need a keyboard. In the future, we might not need a physical interface at all, controlling everything with voice and gestures. It's as if the new way has uprooted us from the rut of putting application links in a dock and discussing whether the window close button should be in the top left or the top right corner. Everything is different, and we can thank Apple first and Google second, for finally bringing us this much needed paradigm shift. In one key area of this exciting new future, however, Google and Apple differ in their approaches.

Since the release of Cisco CallManager 3.1x, Media Resource Groups (MRGs) and Media Resource Group Lists (MRGLs) are now used in order to allow an administrator to allocate media resources to particular devices. The most common use of MRGs and MRGLs is to restrict media resource usage on a geographic basis. For example, if you have conference resources at a remote location, you can create an MRGL for the IP phones at the remote location that only allows them to access their local conference bridge resources. This ensures that the conference calls that an IP phone creates at the remote location do not have to use WAN bandwidth for conferencing within the same site. You can also configure the MRGL to have secondary, tertiary resources (and so forth), so that if the conference bridge at a remote location is out of resources or is unavailable, resources from another site can be used as a backup. You can use MRGs and MRGLs for any other media resource (for instance, Music On Hold Servers (MOH), and Transcoding resources).
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of Cisco CallManager Fundamentals.
The information in this document is based on Cisco CallManager 3.1x and later.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
An MRGL provides a prioritized grouping of MRGs. An application selects the required media resource, such as an MOH server, from among the available media resources based on the priority order defined in an MRGL.
Media resource management provides access to media resources for all Cisco CallManagers in a cluster. Every Cisco CallManager contains a software component called a Media Resource Manager. The Media Resource Manager locates the necessary media resource in order to connect media streams to complete a feature (for example, MOH, Conferencing, and so forth). The Cisco CallManager uses the Skinny protocol in order to interface to these media resources.
CM1 and CM2 belong to the same cluster.
Cisco CallManager uses the MRGL concept in order to select resources. The selection depends on the geographical assignment of the resources.
The Media Resource Manager manages these media resource types:
MOH server.
Unicast conference bridge (CFB).
Media streaming application server (software media termination point).
Transcoder (XCODE).
These reasons explain why resources are shared:
In order to allow both hardware and software devices to coexist within a Cisco CallManager.
In order to enable Cisco CallManager to share and access resources available within the cluster.
In order to enable Cisco CallManager to perform load distribution within a group of similar resources.
In order to enable Cisco CallManager to allocate resources based on user preferences.
Initialization of Cisco CallManager creates a Media Resource Manager. Each Media Termination Point, MOH, Transcoder, and Conference Bridge device defined in the database registers with the Media Resource Manager. The Media Resource Manager obtains a list of provisioned devices from the database and constructs and maintains a table in order to track these resources. The Media Resource Manager uses this table in order to validate registered devices. The Media Resource Manager keeps track of the total devices available in the system. The Media Resource Manager also tracks the devices that have available resources.
When a media device registers, Cisco CallManager creates a controller in order to control this device. After the device is validated, the system advertises its resources throughout the cluster. This mechanism allows the resource to be shared throughout the cluster.
Resource reservation takes place based on search criteria. The given criteria provide the resource type and the MRGL. When the Cisco CallManager no longer needs the resource, resource deallocation occurs. Cisco CallManager updates and synchronizes the resource table after each allocation and deallocation.
The Media Resource Manager interfaces with these major components:
Call Control
Media Control
Media Termination Point Control
Unicast Bridge Control
MOH Control
The Call Control software component performs call processing, this includes setup and tear down of connections. Call Control interacts with the feature layer in order to provide services like transfer, hold, conference, and so forth. Call Control interfaces with the Media Resource Manager when it needs to locate a resource in order to set up a conference call and/or MOH features.
The Media Control software component manages the creation and teardown of media streams for the endpoint. Whenever a request for media to be connected between devices is received, Media Control sets up the proper interface in order to establish a stream, which depends on the type of endpoint.
The media layer interfaces with the Media Resource Manager when it needs to locate a resource in order to set up a Media Termination Point. Media Termination Point Control provides the capability to bridge an incoming H.245 stream to an outgoing H.245 stream. Media Termination Point maintains an H.245 session with an H.323 endpoint when the streaming from its connected endpoint stops. Media Termination Point currently supports only codec G.711 and can also transcode a-law to mu-law.
For each Media Termination Point device defined in the database, Cisco CallManager creates a Media Termination Point Control process. This Media Termination Point Control process registers with the Media Resource Manager when it initializes. The Media Resource Manager keeps track of these Media Termination Point resources and advertises their availability throughout the cluster.
Unicast Bridge Control provides the capability to mix a set of incoming unicast streams into a set of composite output streams. Unicast Bridge provides resources in order to implement ad hoc and meet-me conferencing in the Cisco CallManager. For each Unicast Bridge device defined in the database, Cisco CallManager creates a Unicast Control Process. This Unicast Control Process registers with the Media Resource Manager when it initializes. The Media Resource Manager tracks Unicast stream resources and advertises their availability throughout the cluster.
MOH provides the capability to redirect a party on hold to an audio server. For each MOH server device defined in the database, Cisco CallManager creates an MOH control process. This MOH Control Process registers with the Media Resource Manager when it initializes. The Media Resource Manager tracks MOH resources and advertises their availability throughout the cluster. MOH supports both Unicast and Multicast audio sources.
MRGs are logical groupings of media resources. A single MRG can contain hardware conference resources, software conference resources, transcoder resources, MOH servers, and software Media Termination Points. An MRG has no user-defined order. All resources in an MRG are considered equal. Therefore, Cisco CallManager loads share between resources of each type in one MRG.
When transcoding is used with a conference, the transcoder is selected based on the MRGL of the Conference Bridge.
Note: You cannot explicitly configure an MRGL for a Conference Bridge. Therefore, the MRGL is taken first from the Device Pool, and then from the MRG default pool.
When a phone is put on hold, the MRGL of the device that it put on hold (could be a gateway for offnet calls) determines which MOH server is used to play music to the held device.
Conference Bridges are chosen based on the MRGL of the conference controller (the party that initiates the conference).
If a call goes out through a gateway, and Media Termination Point (MTP) is required. The MRGL of the gateway is then used to select the MTP.
MRGLs are an ordered list of MRGs. All resources in one MRG must be exhausted before Cisco CallManager attempts to use a media resource from another MRG in the same MRGL.
MRGLs can be associated on a per-device basis, which means that you can give specific devices access to media resources on an individual basis. A second MRGL can also be configured at the device pool level.
If a device has an MRGL configured at the device pool level as well as on the device itself, the MRGL configured at the device level is searched first, followed by the MRGL on the device pool.
The last MRGL is the default MRGL. A media resource that is not assigned to an MRG is automatically assigned to the default MRGL. The default MRGL is always searched and it is the last resort if no resources are available in the device-based MRGL and the device pool MRGL or if no MRGLs are configured at any level.
Complete these steps in order to configure your MRG/MRGLs after you have your media resources configured within Cisco CallManager.
Login to the Cisco CallManager Administration page and select Service > Media Resource > Media Resource Group.
Select Add a New Media Resource Group.
A list of all the configured media resources displays.
Enter a name for the MRGs. Select the resources that you want to associate with this MRG and then click Insert.
Note: In this example, two MRGs are created. One for Main Site resources and one for Remote Site resources.
Create another MRG for the remote site resources. In this example, a copy is made of the first group and the Name is changed to reflect the new group.
Select all the necessary resources and click Insert.
Select Service > Media Resource > Media Resource Group List in order to create an MRGL to associate the MRG(s).
Click Add a New Media Resource Group List.
Four MRGLs are created in this example.
MRG Dallas_MRGL for the main site resources.
MRG SanJose_MRGL for the remote site resources.
MRG Dallas_Redundant_MRGL for redundancy if the server that the Dallas office devices are honed to goes down. If media resources are not available at this site, they failover to the remote site resources so that calls do not fail.
MRG SanJose_Redundant_MRGL for redundancy if the server that the San Jose office devices are honed to goes down. If media resources are not available at the remote site, they failover to the main site resources so that calls do not fail.
For the Dallas_Redundant_MRGL, the Dallas_MRG is first in the list and SanJose_MRG is the second.
For the SanJose_Redundant_MRGL, the SanJose_MRG is first in the list and Dallas_MRG is the second.
When you perform a search on Media Resource Group Lists, you see all four lists that are created.
Associate the MRGL with either the Device Pool for all users or through configuration on the device itself.
In this example, the redundant MRGL is configured for both the Dallas Location and San Jose location.
The next example shows the configuration of the MRGL on the device itself. When an MRGL is configured directly on the device, that MRGL takes precedence over the Device Pool configuration.
This error message appears in the Event Viewer:
Error: ConferenceNoMoreResourcesAvailable - No more Conference Resources available
Complete these steps in order to check if all the hardware conference bridges are registered with the Cisco CallManager.
Go to the CallManager Admin page and choose Service > Media Resource > Conference Bridge.
Click Find and check if all the bridges are listed.
Note: Distribute Media Resources in an optimal manner under the Device Pool configuration.
When you call the IP Contact Center (IPCC) remote location, the phone rings at the remote location, but when the user picks up the phone, a fast busy signal is received.
In order to resolve the issue, create separate Media Resource Groups (MRGs) for the software transcoder resources and hardware transcoder resources and make sure that the hardware transcoder resource MRG has first priority in the Media Resource Group List (MRGL).

Facebook announced yesterday the expansion of their Washington D.C. public policy team with the hire of former CongressDaily reporter Andrew Noyes as Manager of Public Policy Communications. At just 29, Noyes has years of inside the Beltway experience, covering privacy, cybersecurity and intellectual property, among other issues.
One of Facebook's public policy priorities is the pending legislation around online ad targeting and personal data. Noyes, who hasn't technically even started with Facebook as of yet (He starts on 11/9 and until that point continues to be a reporter for CongressDaily), was understandably reserved on the issue. "I'm hesitant to really talk about how Facebook has handled it to this point or how they will handle it," he said.
We caught up with Noyes via phone today to chat about some of the challenges communicating Facebook's message in Washigton, what experience he brings to the table to do so, and how the company will continue to make use of social media (notably it's own network) to communicate with the public.
In the memo announcing your hire Barry Schnitt, Director, Corporate Communications and Public Policy said, "Specific policy issues on the agenda for Andrew and the rest of Facebook's DC office include enhancing cybersecurity and online safety, expanding digital privacy protection through user control of data, and protecting free speech." What are some of the biggest challenges in communicating these issues?
Let me start with privacy and to some extent online safety. What you've got is an interesting mix of opinions on how these issues should be addressed in the digital age.
You've got a variety of viewpoints on Capitol Hill from different committees, the Commerce Committee, the Judiciary Committee, the Obama administration has its own ideas of privacy and how to keep folks safe online. They're obviously huge users of technology. You've got the FTC, which is very interested in privacy and consumer issues. They are the lead agency on this and they've expressed a lot of interest in taking a hard look at how companies like Facebook, Google, Yahoo and others are using people's personal info and protecting data.
You have so many cooks in the kitchen so to speak so sometimes messages get muddled. The biggest challenge is making sure Washington truly understands what Facebook is, what Facebook offers and how it protects user's information. You have people who definitely know what it is, and how it can be used, but you have folks who may still consider Facebook a diversion of sorts.
Facebook is the largest social network. How will you use social media to communicate the company's public policy agenda?
I think that Facebook has done a good job of alerting its members online when there is change in policy or when there are new applications or a new way to use Facebook. Every time there is a major adjustment to the design or to various aspects of the site, they let you know right off the bat. They've been good at that. There are certain things Facebook can do within its walled garden and externally, to educate people about these public policy issues. There is obviously a lot for me to learn, as I haven't started the job yet. I am coming into the job with a lot of ideas on how to maximize the impact Facebok can have in Washington.
Your background is in journalism and you've specifically covered privacy, cyber security and intellectual property. What will you bring to the table specifically from this experience?
I've been on the ground covering these issues for quite a while now and so what I bring to the job is institutional knowledge of how these issues have evolved over time from Friendster to MySpace to Facebook. Even outside that, bigger privacy issues in the internet age, I've covered them closely on the Hill. I also bring a rather substantial Rolodex with me of Hill and agency and administration relationships that I've built over time. Also, my relationships and dealing with think tanks and watchdog groups and the inside the beltway players. A lot of times folks outside Washington don't understand the relevance of grassroots groups, watchdogs and think tanks. They are major players in D.C. and I've dealt with almost all of them in this space.
I bring communication skills, writing and analyzing to the table. So hopefully I can make up in knowledge and word craft for what some may perceive I lack in PR background. I would note that I do have some experience in PR. At the tale-end of the Clinton administration I worked for the National Education Association and my main charge was communicating from the NEA their education technology issues.
Potential legislation around limiting how much data websites can collect about their members must be a key policy issue on the Facebook team's radar. What do you see happening there, from the Facebook and government perspective?
Well, it's hard to say. There are several proposals and pieces of legislation that have been either introduced or we're expecting to see introduced in the near future. It's something that Facebook and just about every other Internet company are looking at right now and at same time you have the FTC also weighing in and wanting to get involved in digital issues. I'm hesitant to really talk about how Facebook has handled it to this point or how they will handle it.

Thanks for the repro - fixed now in 2205
I use the nightly ones and I have this issue all the time. I just drop and release somewhere in the middle. It doesn't happen all the time, but frequent enough to cause a lot of frustration.
Do you have multiple monitors?
Indeed it is, thanks!
Yes. And this issue occurs when dragging tab to a different monitor.
Another regression in 2205:
Install and relaunch still not working on mac after update (2205). And old versions are in the Trash, undeletable.
Thanks for the word wrap home and end button enhancement.
But how above the full disk empty out file bug (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7645&start=0) ?
And why don't add an alert popup to confirm before reloading an external edited file?
One more thing:
Can the auto-completion list show the words that are within the current file first then the snippet later? That is, the current file's words have the most top priority. It seems more convenient.
Just found a odd behaviour, when the current line contains only a tab char, after pressed enter key to make a new line, pressing up key to go back to the previous line (which originally contains a tab char), the tab char will be gone. This is an very odd and annoying behaviour.
quarnster: thanks for the report, will fix for the next build.
facelessuser: I've still not been able to repro this. I'll put in a change for the next build that may have some effect, but it is unlikely to change anything.
handycam: I'm aware of the issue, but don't know what's causing it, and I'm not planning to investigate any further before 2.0.
singw: The trim_automatic_white_space setting controls this.
2206 is out now, with a fix for the auto complete issue.
Python initialisation has also changed, to try and better insulate the application from any env vars meant for the system version of Python.
Could make the "Goto"->"Jump to Matching Bracket" function also work on the bracket pair inside string (ideally, in all situation) ?
singw: feature requests are better placed on UserEcho or in the appropriate forum
I'm wondering if the key shortcuts that are currently overlapping with Mission Control on OSX Lion will be changed from their current default ?
These are some examples of keys not working out of the box:
{ "keys": "ctrl+shift+up"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": false} },
{ "keys": "ctrl+shift+down"], "command": "select_lines", "args": {"forward": true} },
{ "keys": "ctrl+left"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "subwords", "forward": false} },
{ "keys": "ctrl+right"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "subword_ends", "forward": true} },
If not, at least the documentation should be updated to let people know that they are not working in Lion (I know that I've spent some time looking for this).
Just remember an issue that it's still here: column selection will not automatically scroll the view when it reaches top or bottom (like the regular selection).
Moving by subwords on OS X is also possible via ctrl+alt+left/right, which isn't a default mission control key binding.
select_lines suffers from a few issues, and I'd like to revisit it, but it can wait until after 2.0
If there is anything I can do to help, I am willing. I was just testing 2206, and this issue is very reproducible on my system. I literally can drop a tab on any monitor (I have three) anywhere, and it will be rendered off screen. It is bad enough that I try to avoid doing this at all.
I know this is not related to this computer or installation of ST2 because I had this issue for months on my old computer, and work upgraded my computer a couple of weeks ago, and with a fresh install of ST2 on a brand new computer I have this issue still.
This still happens to me too on my work machine, Win7, two monitors, build 2206. In case it matters, my primary screen is 1920x1080, and my second screen is 1440x900.
If I drag a tab off of the ST2 window and on to the desktop, the new window seems to always be created at the same X position where I dropped it, but at a Y position well below the screen.
With that new window as the active one, I press Alt+Space to bring up its system menu, then M to select Move, then I hold the Up arrow until the window is brought up. The top of the new window is a ways below the bottom of the screen. I have to hold down the Up arrow for a second or two before it appears.
I just put together a little AutoHotKey script that shows the position of the active window. When I drop the tab at the very top of either screen, the Y position of the new window will be about 1265. If I drop it lower on the screen, the offset seems to be about the same. I just dropped it at the very bottom of my screen, giving a Y coordinate of 2346, which minus 1080 is 1266.
Dropping it at the bottom of my second monitor gives a Y position of 2165, minus 900 is 1265.
I don't know what that 1265 number comes from but hopefully this helps you find it.
This should illustrate how ridiculously off ST2 calculates the position for the dragged and drop tab on my screen.
Screen Size: 1680 X 1050Mouse Position at Drop: Left: 295 Top: 147Window Created at: Left: 227 Top: 32767
As stated above the X position seems to be calculated just fine, but the Y position is way, way, way off.
Love the new create_window_at_startup: false option, but unfortunately it will still create an empty window if I try to directly open a project file that is already open.
create_window_at_startup: false

No sales despite much effort
Hello everyone.
5 months since I created a shop selling clothes online through KingEshop. But here, I was made a sale in 5 months.
Yet I distribute large card, I appear in 3rd position on google, I join in those directories, I created ads with Google AdWords, I created a facebook page and finally I talk about my site everyone.
I sell well on Ebay or Priceminister but I want to sell exclusively on KingEshop to avoid the commission.
I seriously beginning to despair.
Could you give me your opinion on my site?

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – For all Brian McBride has given to US soccer, it's only fitting that he gets a little something in return.
And a "little something in return" is exactly what McBride – who announced earlier this month that he'll be retiring at the end of this season – will be getting during the US National Team's Oct. 9 friendly against Poland at Chicago's Soldier Field.
USMNT supporters' group American Outlaws is organizing a fan tribute to the three-time World Cup vet, urging all fans planning on attending the Poland match to make McBride banners, learn McBride songs and even paint their faces to look to match the iconic image of a bloodied McBride at the 2006 World Cup.
WATCH: MLS career highlights of Brian McBride
When asked about the planned tribute, McBride's response was typical of the always team-first former US legend.
"I didn't know that but that's a very nice sentiment," McBride told MLSsoccer.com. "But I'm no different than anybody else that has played for them.
"Yeah, I was fortunate enough to play a little bit longer than some and be involved in some great teams, but that game's about preparing. I'm sure [US head coach Bob Bradley] wants to make sure that he's preparing his team for the start of qualifying."
Of course, the fan tribute would be much more special if McBride – who retired from the international game after the 2006 World Cup – were actually on the field for the match. And while that's unlikely, it might not be totally out of the question.
Bradley didn't rule out giving the Chicago Fire forward an honorary cap in the Poland match when asked about the possibility at a press conference at Toyota Park last week.
"I need more time to think that through," Bradley said. "Brian's typically not interested in those kinds of things."

If so, what are the advantages of this? In what circumstances do you prefer Dysport to Botox?
Is It True That Dysport is a Lighter Toxin Compared to Botox?
Doctor Answers 16
Dysport vs Botox
Thank you for your question. Both are FDA approved neuromodulators which are similar products and have similar results and safety profiles. They are just made by different manufacturers. Individuals usually will try both and see which one they prefer. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables and have an evaluation to see which is right for you and to obtain the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.
Botox and Dysport are similar
Botox and Dysport are very similar in their chemical make up and their effectiveness. Although you need more units of Dysport to give an equivalent result of Botox, it does not mean that the Dysport is weaker. It just means that the units have to be converted from the one neurotoxin to the other. If I inject 25 units of Botox in the glabella I would use 75 units of Dysport.
Learn more: http://www.thenyac.com/botox/index.html
No, Dysport is not a "lighter toxin" compared to Botox. They are cousins.
Dysport and Botox are brand names that represent different version of the same basic underlying toxin molecule. This protein attaches to the junction between nerve and muscle and blocks muscle activation, leading to weakened muscles. Some people do respond better to one or the other, and some respond well to both. Some people don't respond so well to either. If you like the one you've tried, there is no real reason to try the other, but if the one you've used did not give an ideal result (wore off quickly, etc), it is ok to try the other. Make sure you are seeing a GOOD, well-qualified injector who knows how to use both well, so you can be sure that your results are because of the substance used properly, and not questionable because of the injector.

Is Dysport a Lighter Toxin?
Hello. Dysport is only a "lighter" neurotoxin in that you need to use more units of it to get the same results.
Botox has an FDA approval for the glabella (frown lines between the eyes) using 20 units of Botox. Dysport has this same approval using 50 units.
We prefer Dysport in our practice for several reasons:
- When mixed at 3:1 compared to Botox it's still cheaper for our patients and offers better duration.
- The onset is faster than Botox
- It's a smaller particle size with higher diffusion which allows us to use less (equivalent) units than Botox for a large area like the forehead.
- It's cheaper for our patients.

Botox versus Dysport
Both Botox and Dysport are excellent neurotoxins for treating dynamic or movement wrinkles of the face. Dysport is a smaller molecule that may work a little faster and may spread a little more, but both have about the same duration of effect. The important thing is to pick a trained dermatologist or plastic surgeon to give you the best & safest results possible.
Comparison of Dysport and Botox
Dysport is not a 'lighter toxin' than Botox. Other than the fact that Dysport may work a little quicker than Botox, there is little difference in the two products. As I frequently say, pick the experienced surgeon, not the product.
Dysport and Botox
Botox and Dysport are both neurotoxins that give the same results. Dysport is not a lighter toxin, it is a smaller molecule and has a more rapid onset than Botox by one to two days. There are some reports that Dysport is more advantageous for use on crows feet because it last longer in the area around. I have not compared Botox and Dysport in this fashion so cannot endorse this recommendation.
Dysport and Botox
Botox and Dysport to me is like Coke and Pepsi. Both work similarly to give the same results. Dysport may have a quicker onset.
Is It True That Dysport is a Lighter Toxin Compared to Botox?
The neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport and the newer Xeomin all have different sizes of the compound but are all the same type A toxin with the same effects, duration etc.
Learn more: http://www.thepalmercodeinstitute.com
No, Dysport works the same, measured differntly
NO. Dysport is not "lighter" than botox. It is just measured differently. The effect is just the same and an experienced doctor will know how to convert measurement from one to the other to give you about the same effect. Four quarters are a dollar, twenty nickels are a dollar. Still have dollar although with one you have a bigger number of coins. P.S. Dysport has a $50 rebate now

Earlier this year, rumors began to emerge that Apple is planning to include a fingerprint sensor in its upcoming iPhone 5S. The reports died down for a few weeks but have once again surfaced, this time from Apple. Apple recently posted a new job listing for a software enginner to work with the AuthenTec fingerprint sensor team in Florida. Apple acquired AuthenTec for $365 million last year, and appears to be finally putting it to use. The location of the job is listed in Melbourne, Florida where the AuthenTec company was based, and is the only listing on the Apple job site for this city.
Apple also notes in the description that the job requires the ability to write "low-level code to configure and control hardware" and requires an educational minimum of a BS (Bachelors of Science) degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science. Other requirements are the ability to use the "Labtool" software, which is used for updating the tool to work with new sensors as well as automating lab test and characterization.
LabTool – Develop, maintain, update and optimize the "LabTool" software that is used for lab evaluation and characterization of the Melbourne Design Center sensor ICs. This includes adding new features as specified by the analog and digital design engineers. Updating the tool to work with new sensors. Automating lab test and characterization. Provide support and debug capability to all groups within Apple that use the tool.
Following its acquisition by Apple, AuthenTec became a company focused solely on fingerprint sensing and identity management. This could come in great use to Apple is they choose to include in their next iPhone as it would allow for the Cupertino, California company to redesign their passcode lock which has had a number of issues in recent months and even do away with certain log-in windows in iOS. It would also benefit businesses who would want extra security on devices they provide to employees.

National real estate market trends are great in that they provide an overall picture of how things are progressing while also providing a baseline for states looking to compare their numbers to a national average. However, when it comes to buying, selling, investing, or even renting in the current real estate market, local information is pertinent for making smart decisions.
Let's take a look at the Chicago real estate market.
Decline in Foreclosure Filings for Chicago
One of the biggest indicators of real estate market progress toward recovery involves looking at the number of homes entering into the foreclosure process as well as the foreclosure backlog. States with a judicial foreclosure process are known for having a higher foreclosure rate now due to the delay that comes with having each foreclosure appear before a judge.
The state of Illinois uses the judicial system for its foreclosure proceedings; therefore, the state has been one of the many that has lagged behind non-judicial states in terms of progress toward recovery. However, the state – as a whole and the city of Chicago in particular – is finally seeing relief and a strengthening housing market.
Specifically, the number of foreclosure filings in Chicago has decreased 36.1% in the last year – which is significant progress. In the first half of 2012, the city had 34,978 foreclosure filings. During the same period in 2013, there were only 22,342 filings. West Cook County has experienced a 45% decline in foreclosure activity for the year with Cook County foreclosure filings declining 40%.
Along with the decline in filings, the area also experienced a 6.3% decrease in the number of homes that appeared in auction.
In short, although the city still has a ways to go before it returns to "normal," the area is definitely making noticeable progress.
Chicago's Increase in Startups
In addition to residential real estate market growths, the city is also experiencing a rise in startups that is leading to a high demand and low supply of commercial space. As a result of the improving markets and higher demand for office space, the price of rent has also rapidly increased in the city. Specifically, rent has increased to $26.07 per square foot, a 17.2% increase from 2010.
At the end of the day, things are looking up for Chicago. The residential and commercial real estate markets are improving, which should effect the city's economic situation in a positive manner as well. If you are looking for foreclosures in Chicago, turn to Foreclosure-Support.com.

In order to provide you with the most professional and accurate reviews, we are using the following equipment to test the performance of power supplies:
- Modified SECC steel case with thermal generation and control components installed
- 8 Vantek electronic loads, USB controlled
- Extech 380803 TrueRMS Power Analyzer
- USB Instruments Stingray Oscilloscope
- SL-5868P digital sound level meter
- CompuLAB interface
- MyPClab thermal interface
- Labjack U3-HV interface
- Custom calibration box
- Custom software
More information about our testing equipment and methodology can be found in this article.
The electrical performance of the Silencer MKIII 1200W power supply has left us with mixed feelings. On one hand, the ripple suppression is extremely good, to the point of being a very rare sight for 1kW+ products, with the maximum ripple we recorded on the massive 12V line being a mere 30mV under maximum load. On the other hand however, voltage regulation is rather loose, being over 3% for all lines and reaching up to 4.5% on the 3.3V line, meaning that all of the voltage lines effectively failed to meet the manufacturer's specifications.
This is an 80Plus Platinum power supply, therefore the extremely high efficiency did not come as a surprise. Users can enjoy efficiency figures of over 90% across the entire load range, no matter whether the input A/C voltage is 110V or 230V.
In an effort to remain silent, the Silencer MKIII 1200W power supply runs quite a bit hotter than many other products sharing a similar power output. The temperatures rise considerably while the power supply is heavily loaded, with the intake/exhaust temperature delta reaching 15.8°C under maximum load.
The Silencer MKIII 1200W power supply does live up to its name, remaining virtually silent even if loaded up to 60% capacity, where the unit had already reached an output of over 700W. Beyond that point however the speed of the fan rises geometrically, from the audible 31.5dB(A) at 70% load up to the ear-bursting 42.9dB(A) at maximum load.

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has said the US industry is neither materially injured nor threatened with material injury by reason of imports of frozen warm water shrimp from countries including India, China, Ecuador, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
As per the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, a country can launch its own investigation and ultimately charge extra duty (countervailing duty) on subsidised imports which it finds are hurting domestic producers.
As a result of the USITC's negative determinations, US department of commerce will not issue countervailing duty orders on imports of these products from India. The decision brings a great relief to Indian shrimp industry and its exports, an official statement said on Monday.
According to an industry estimate, India's seafood exports including frozen shrimp stood at $3.5 billion in 2012-13. About a fifth of the exports were to the US.
The decision comes ahead of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's scheduled visit to Washington later this week.
The USITC imposed a 5.85% countervailing duty on Indian shrimp exports last year in response to alleged price advantages enjoyed by Indian exporters because of government subsidies. The final decision of the USITC came in favour of India and six other countries and negate the US department of commerce's decision.
Due to this, none of the seven countries including India need to pay duties for their shrimp exports to the US, it said.
In December 2012, the Coalition of Gulf Shrimp Industries filed a petition claiming that subsidies provided by the Indian government to its shrimp industry gives an unfair advantage to the country's shrimp exports to the US, resulting in Indian exporters selling their products at lower prices.
It also said that if countervailing duty was imposed, it would have helped Thailand and Indonesia to monopolise the US shrimp market, and market access of Indian shrimp would have been affected.

Urticaria is a common skin disorder which is characterized by formation of weals on the skin. Urticaria is commonly known as hives. It affects about 20 percent of people.
Mast cell is the central cause of urticaria. The chemical histamine is secreted by this mast cell when it is activated by any foreign factor such as bacteria, virus, drug or food. In some people, more number of mast cells are present, while in some people, more amount of histamine is secreted. The histamine dilates the blood vessels which in turn causes the swellings in the affected areas.
Symptoms of urticaria
Hives can appear on any area of the body and may change shape. They may disappear and reappear over short period of time.
The symptoms of urticaria are listed below:
- Red or skin colored raised itchy bumps on the affected area.
- Blanching (Center of red hive when pressed turns white).
- Stinging sensation.
Causes of urticaria
Food allergies, stress, allergies to bug bites, contact with plants or animals, certain medications, cold, heat and overexposure to the sun are some of the common causes of urticaria. Some of the foods that cause urticaria are chocolate, fish, eggs, nuts and tomatoes.
Urticaria in Ayurveda
Ayurveda is one of the natural and an oldest system of healthcare which helps balancing all the three doshas of the body in a natural way and hence helps maintain overall health of the body.
Urticaria is known as "Sheetapitta", in Ayurveda. Sheetapitta is a condition which is caused due to vitiation of all the three doshas Vata, pitta and kapha dosha. It is mainly due to predominance of Vata dosha.
The word sheetapitta is derived from the combination of two words sheeta and pitta. The word sheeta means cold while the word pitta means warm. So sheetapitta is a condition which is caused due to the dominance of cold (that exist in vata and kapha dosha) over pitta dosha.
Are natural supplements good for healthy skin?
Healthy diet is the main requirement for managing the symptoms of any disease. Natural supplements are there just to provide the dietary support and not to cure any disease. Yes, the markets are flooded with so many natural supplements for healthy skin. Planet Ayurveda is one of them, which provides natural supplements which are free from chemicals and side effects.

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti with Broccoli
Now that we are back in school and on a schedule, I am working the weekly meal plan again. Last week was our first attempt at meal planning since before summer and it is amazing how easy it makes life come dinner time. For example, Wednesdays have become our designated crock pot day due to late afternoon activities. I love knowing that when we get home close to 6pm that evening that dinner is almost entirely ready. The joy of slow cooking is truly contagious I can tell you. I'm officially addicted.
I made this crock pot chicken spaghetti recipe a few weeks ago during the summer but my husband is already asking for it to be back in the rotation for one of our slow cooker nights. The chicken cooks up in your favorite spaghetti sauce (I totally cheated for this one and used some good quality jarred sauce that I picked up on sale) and falls apart tenderly right before you add your cooked spaghetti and broccoli. I add the cooked pasta and broccoli straight to the crock pot to keep things less messy and easier to serve. I've always loved adding a couple of dollops of ricotta cheese to pasta to give it a more creamy texture, and it worked perfectly with this pasta dish.
My kids and husband gave this Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti one major thumbs up. Our family of four had plenty left over so this would be great to pack into thermoses for school lunch the next day.
Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti with Broccoli
Yield: about 6 servings
- 32 oz jar of good quality sauce (or 4 cups homemade sauce)
- 1 3/4 lb - 2 lb chicken breasts
- pinch salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 13 oz box of whole wheat spaghetti
- 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup part skim ricotta
- red pepper flakes, for serving - optional
- Parmesan cheese, for serving - optional
- Add sauce to slow cooker. Place chicken breasts on top of sauce. Season chicken with salt, pepper and oregano. Using tongs, flip chicken breasts over in sauce so that they have sauce on both sides. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
- When ready to serve, prepare spaghetti as directed. Just before spaghetti is done, about 3 minutes, add broccoli to pasta water with pasta while it finishes its cooking.
- When pasta is cooked, drain pasta and broccoli in a large colander. Using two forks, gently shred up chicken in crockpot and incorporate into sauce. Add pasta and broccoli to slow cooker and along with ricotta. Using forks, gently toss spaghetti with sauce, chicken and ricotta until fully incorporated. Ready to serve!
- Serve with red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese if desired.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
St Albans, Herts, United Kingdom, 2015/02/23 - The Zurich-based travel retailer, Nuance, is using the Docebo Cloud SaaS-based e-learning solutions platform to centralize knowledge within the company and make it available as and when its required.
Nuance, which employs more than 6,100 people worldwide and serves over 31m travelling customers a year, operates retail outlets spanning more than 60 locations in 18 countries and territories across the globe. In addition to a number of duty and tax-free stores, brand boutiques and concept stores covering some 73,000 square metres - the company also provides in-flight services and operates a wholesale and distribution business, supporting the travel retail sector.
According to Mario Pizzagalli, of iqons s.r.l., whom Nuance asked to source and project manage the installation of a suitable learning management system (LMS) for its Learning Library Project: Docebo is extremely simple and intuitive both to install and administer and importantly end users also find the Docebo LMS easy to use. Moreover, weve found that Docebos standard of customer service is extremely high.
In the past, Nuance had made many attempts to develop a single Learning Library and a unique knowledge repository. The result was that the knowledge and training material had been compiled in different formats, with different tools and stored in different repositories. Moreover, it was difficult to update all the different libraries and ensure that they all had the most current, appropriate information.
So the companys HR departments search for the answer to the challenge of minimizing training time and especially improving getting new staff up-to-speed quickly led it via Mario to Docebo. Docebos LMS, which is available in over 30 languages, currently is installed in over 28,000 installations at Docebos 800 business-to-business (B2B) clients in over 80 countries.
Claudio Erba, CEO of Docebo, commented: Like many of Docebos clients, Nuances employees come from different countries and work in a range of locations around the world. This makes organizing regular classroom-delivered training extremely difficult, labour-intensive and expensive.
As Nuance has discovered, the more efficient and effective alternative is Docebos LMS, which helps build a single, always up-to-date knowledge repository and delivers its various learning materials online to learners around the world.
For more details on this story, visit the Docebo website.

If last week's game against the Ravens didn't alert you to it, yes, the holidays are right around the corner. When you see every single football game along the east coast blanketed in snow, it's probably also a good time to begin (or finish?) shopping for Christmas presents, decorating your house in the ejaculation of sparkle and tinsel, and of course decorate your Christmas tree (or Menorah? Is that what Brandon Fusco does? Fusco has to be a Jewish name, right?) in the best of Vikings regalia.
Well, really in the ONLY Vikings regalia around: Purple Jesus at his rightful spot at the top of your Christmas tree.
Found from Reddit bro "hostesscakeboi" (that's an unfortunate name) comes this excellent example of what Christmas is SUPPOSE to be about. As marketing efforts have increased, and consumerism has cripple this country, our nation has moved further and further away from the true meaning of Christmas. Kids today think Christmas is all about tearing open gifts and crying if you don't get that new $500 techy device you asked for, in addition to the other two dozen items that were unrealistic, and forget what the true meaning of Christmas is.
That Purple Jesus died for our football sins.
A true Christian family will sit around the Christmas tree before they enjoy each other's company, and read the classic Christmas story of how a young babe wrapped in turf named Adrian Peterson was birthed in a Perkin's parking lot in rural Minnesota, only to lead his followers on a path of glory for many years before racist east coast oppressors decided to try and kill him. BUT PURPLE JESUS CANNOT DIE! He only came back stronger, and will continue to lead his purple followers to the promised land, as the fabled book of Tarkenton foretells.
And so how do we honor him? With iPoods and X-Stations? Horrible. No, we put him in the center of our living space, at the top of the tree, so he can always look down on us and forgive us for our football sins of wishing for team losses for draft picks. If we show repentance, he will forgive us.
And THAT, friends, is the true meaning of Christmas.
