good price for the number of sheets you get, quality is good and last for a decent amount of time while sanding. i usually tear in half and use with my palm sander
via sears.com
They aren't perfect, but they got the job done. With continued use, the ends will tear out of the holders on the sander, which in my case was all in one sitting on one project. There is also quite a bit of waste when it comes to cutting to size for different sanders, and the peices are too small and awkward to use elsewhere. But overall, they're decent sand papers.

When you need a sturdy long lasting sheet to do a big job, this works just as good if not better than the shees that you will find at the "big box' stores. Highly recommended.

Flexibility. It's tempting to look at the Orb Weaver and say "That's a science ship". It isn't. It's something that has 6 weapon slots, like most science ships, and it has Sensor Analysis, like most science ships, but the pesky LTC universal slot is what trips you up. If you slap a tactical officer in there, you've got a very balanced "can do some of everything" ship. If you slap an engineer in there, you've got a remarkably tough little pocket cruiser. If you slap a science guy in there, you've got a ship with 8 slots for science
a LTC engineer to keep it in one piece which I think might actually be unique? It's not super agile, it's not terribly well armed. But the Orb Weaver is "agile enough", and it's "armed enough". It has a very powerful boff layout combined with balanced consoles and nice strong shields. It's got a nice foundation of traits to build from and it can be retooled on the fly to have different strengths. Simply put the Orb Weaver is best for people that can see a mission, see what their team looks like, and then choose what they need to be in order to be the best asset for the team.f
The Recluse carrier should also be mentioned since its boff layout is almost the same. The Recluse is even more modular since on that it's the Commander that's universal, and it has two hangar bays so you can add pets for extra damage or tanking or whatever you need. But the Recluse, while tough, is big and sluggish and really has a hard time being anything other than a strong point. The Orb Weaver doesn't have the hangars or universal commander but it can actually move around and do things like be a torpedo boat or spam photonic shockwaves and tractor repulsors.

Topic: Multiple Domains, One Rails apps
Does anyone have any experience running multiple domains off of a single rails app?
I'd like to build a system that can host multiple domains (small volume per domain) on a single Rails CMS.
I think I've got a pretty straight forward method for handling the templating of various domains but I'm wondering how to configure the front-end routing. Is there an easy method to do this where I can get the domain into the controllers? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

Gap Control: Interior Defense, 2011
Whether you have defenders playing one gap or two, whether you aim to contain a running back or flush him outside and fly to the ball, the run D constant remains: you must keep contain and maintain control over every gap. One lapse in a gap, one misread, one piece of overpursuit and the control a defense has over seven other gaps is ruined–the runner scampers through the weak side C-gap that the back-side linebacker flowed away from.
We here at Pro Football Focus are in the fortunate position of not only being able to look into our grades to discover which defenses excel in run defense, but thanks to our statistical harvesting we can also nail down where defenses excel. Who locks down the middle and prevents opponents from gaining easy A-gap yards? Who throws a blanket around the outside and makes it tough to spring big plays off the edge?
Having already looked at the offensive side of the ball, we now turn our attention to the defensive side where we start with inside run defense. Here we will look at who succeeded and who failed in shutting down the A-Gaps (rushes to either side of the center) and the B-Gaps (to the outside shoulder of the guards) in the 2011 regular season.
A-Gap Assassins
Where better to start than right up the middle, the shortest path to the line of scrimmage and yards gained? If you can't stop teams from running through the A-gaps then you aren't going to be able to force them into more complex offensive plays that you might be able to pick apart for your own gains. There are many different ways to skin a cat when defending the A-Gaps: one big body at nose tackle, two big bodies crashing inside or even a big middle linebacker flying downhill. What matters is getting the job done and there is no one dominant scheme in the Top 10 A-Gap defenses from the 2011 season–3-4's, 4-3's and hybrids all slot in.
The common theme here, however, is that the Top 3 defenses defending the A-Gaps (by yards per carry) all came from the AFC North and all went to the playoffs. It's little wonder that the Browns were among the 10 worst A-Gap rush offenses when they faced the three best A-Gap defenses in six of their sixteen games last season. The Steelers even managed to have great success defending A-Gap rushes in spite of the fact that their nickel package has no nose tackle, in theory opening up the inside to solid gains. It is a credit to the rest of the front seven that they covered for the absence of Casey Hampton–or any inside presence on the line–when the Steelers were forced into sub packages.
Three defenses went without allowing a rushing touchdown on A-Gap carries. Unsurprisingly, one of those is the ever-stingy 49er run defense with the other two residing on the East Coast in the shape of the Jets and the Redskins. Of the Top 10, only two came from the NFC and the entire AFC North was in the Top 6 at preventing yards after contact through the middle of the defense. If you want to gain yards through the middle on an AFC North team, you are going to have to block exceptionally well, and on top of that, your running back will have to work very hard. No cheap yards here.
Team | Attempts | Yards | Yards per Carry | Yards after Contact | Touchdowns | Longest Rush Allowed |
Baltimore Ravens | 116 | 301 | 2.6 | 174 | 2 | 12 |
Cincinnati Bengals | 101 | 277 | 2.7 | 178 | 3 | 10 |
Pittsburgh Steelers | 126 | 408 | 3.2 | 255 | 1 | 26 |
New York Jets | 111 | 361 | 3.3 | 223 | 0 | 17 |
Jacksonville Jaguars | 114 | 382 | 3.4 | 258 | 2 | 19 |
* NFL Average | 107 | 419 | 3.9 | 248 | 2 | 35 |
A-Gaps Assaulted
At the other end of the league, you find that the weakest teams through the heart of the defense reside in the NFC. The conference housed the five worst A-Gap run defenses, though clearly this wasn't a devastating trait as two of the five teams made it to the playoffs. The two worst, both from the NFC West, gave up more than 5 yards per carry through the middle of the defense. The St Louis Rams, firmly at the bottom, surrendered a 91-yard run up the middle, emphasizing their inability to shut down a rush after an offense had taken a lump hammer to their interior.
Their division rivals in Arizona spent much of the season imitating the Pittsburgh Steelers with a nickel package that did not have a nose tackle or any strong inside presence. As a result of that, the Cardinals (despite not giving up a huge run to skew their stats) were consistently found wanting in the middle where the Steelers were not. Second-year player Dan Williams graded positively as a run defender, but played fewer than 200 snaps and simply could not have the positive effect on their A-Gap efforts enough of the time. Moving forward, the Cardinals either need to re-think the deployment of their personnel or they need more from the inside linebackers coming straight downhill to cut off those gut carries. Right now, the Cardinals are showing opposing offenses a weak under belly to the run game when forced into nickel packages.
As with the strongest defenses in the anti-A-Gap game, the weakest are not marked out by scheme; the bottom five featuring both 4-3 and 3-4 defenses. Two teams from the AFC East (each showing indecision over their defensive front in 2011) allowed the most rushing touchdowns on A-Gap carries with the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills both allowing five. Six teams allowed a carry of 50 yards or more through the A-Gaps this season with the Rams not alone in an inability to shut teams down once they had broken through the first line of defense.
Team | Attempts | Yards | Yards per Carry | Yards after Contact | Touchdowns | Longest Rush Allowed |
St Louis Rams | 109 | 568 | 5.2 | 296 | 4 | 91 |
Arizona Cardinals | 90 | 451 | 5.0 | 227 | 2 | 37 |
Detroit Lions | 100 | 494 | 4.9 | 346 | 1 | 50 |
Chicago Bears | 89 | 430 | 4.8 | 199 | 4 | 88 |
Green Bay Packers | 70 | 334 | 4.8 | 245 | 3 | 54 |
B-Gap Berserkers
On average, defenses saw less action through the B-Gaps (to the outside of the opposing guards) than they did coming straight at them through the A-Gaps. But, at 4.5 yards per carry, rushes off-guard were significantly more effective than rushes right up the middle. Through the B-Gaps you find more opportunities for linemen to down block on opposing defensive linemen; driving immediately into the side of defensive players and forcing second level defenders to fill that gap, potentially meeting a pulling or lead blocker.
Five teams didn't allow a single touchdown off-guard this season with, again, unsurprisingly, the 49ers being in that group joined by division rival Seattle along with playoff foes Denver and Pittsburgh and the Kansas City Chiefs. As will become a theme as we move outside, the 49ers were among the league's best in controlling this gap, allowing a league low of 3.2 yards per carry on B-Gap carries. They didn't allow an average of more than 3.5 yards per carry through the A-, B-, C-, or D-Gaps in the 2011 regular season. Their ability to play with a lead and force teams to the air also helped their B-Gap run defense as they faced a league-low 58 carries off-guard this regular season, almost 70 less than the Bills who saw a league-high 125.
The 49ers are joined in the Top 5 B-Gap defenses by some expected names like Houston and Pittsburgh, but also by one unforeseen team in the shape of the New Orleans Saints. This was the one gap on their defense that the Saints defended better than the league average, letting up fewer than four yards per carry. They did, however, see only 63 carries; one of only three teams who saw fewer than 70 carries off-guard–simply because of their inability to defend rushes off end (more on that in our next article).
A special mention here for the Chiefs who were fifth in the league in yards per carry allowed in spite of seeing the second-highest number of B-Gap carries last season. Only the Bills' defense was more heavily tested, but the Chiefs D stood up to the task and did so consistently, allowing fewer than 4 yards per carry and not allowing a carry of 20 yards or more through this gap all season.
Team | Attempts | Yards | Yards per Carry | Yards after Contact | Touchdowns | Longest Rush Allowed |
San Francisco 49ers | 58 | 185 | 3.2 | 120 | 0 | 18 |
Houston Texans | 83 | 294 | 3.5 | 177 | 1 | 25 |
Pittsburgh Steelers | 84 | 321 | 3.8 | 170 | 0 | 14 |
New Orleans Saints | 63 | 241 | 3.8 | 145 | 3 | 23 |
Kansas City Chiefs | 114 | 439 | 3.9 | 218 | 0 | 19 |
* NFL Average | 94 | 425 | 4.5 | 245 | 2 | 37 |
B-Gaps Bashed
If teams pick out a weakness in a defense, they go after it mercilessly. Given that, it's not shocking that only one of the five worst B-Gap defenses in the league last season (all giving up over 5 yards per carry there) saw fewer than 100 B-Gap carries. The one exception was a Redskins defense that allowed those chunks on only 65 carries against, with no excessively long run to skew their average (their longest allowed through a B-Gap was 43 yards, only just above the league average). If the Chiefs stood up to the constant barrage of B-Gap carries, the Redskins got off lightly as teams failed to exploit a weakness.
Buffalo and Tampa Bay had the dubious honor of leading the league in touchdowns allowed through these gaps, letting up seven and six touchdowns, respectively, directly off of the guards. Neither, though, features in the worst five on this list. Tampa Bay allowed 5.0 yards per carry, but fell just short of the fifth spot held by the fortunate Redskin defense.
An interesting name on this list is the Denver Broncos. How, one might ask, could a team with the best run defending tackle from the 2011 regular season, Brodrick Bunkley, have such poor defense through an interior gap. With Bunkley playing predominantly in 0- and 1-Techniques, aligned around the center, he was routinely in such a position that teams could down block with their guards and seal him out of B-Gap rushes. The Broncos' poor defense of gaps (that Bunkley was in poor position to defend) will certainly raise questions over their ability to withstand his loss during the 2012 season.
The worst B-Gap defense, fresh from being among the best A-Gap stoppers, was that of the Cincinnati Bengals who allowed more than 5.5 yards per carry off-guard. This is almost three full yards more per carry than they allowed inside of opposing guards. The Bengals' flaws can be laid squarely at the door of the right side of their defense as opponents gained 6.6 yards per carry there and both of the Bengals' B-Gap touchdowns allowed came from that spot as well.
To fully illustrate the Bengals' problems with finishing plays through this gap, they gave up 223 yards after contact (4.1 yards per carry after contact). So even when Bengal defenders reached a ball carrier through the right side B-Gap, they allowed a significant continuation after that first contact. Woeful control of one gap, that yards after contact figure of 223 is more than 13 defenses allowed through both B-Gaps combined.
Team | Attempts | Yards | Yards per Carry | Yards after Contact | Touchdowns | Longest Rush Allowed |
Cincinnati Bengals | 101 | 568 | 5.6 | 421 | 2 | 59 |
Denver Broncos | 112 | 627 | 5.6 | 288 | 0 | 47 |
Cleveland Browns | 112 | 623 | 5.6 | 313 | 2 | 67 |
Indianapolis Colts | 111 | 613 | 5.5 | 286 | 4 | 56 |
Washington Redskins | 65 | 334 | 5.1 | 200 | 1 | 43 |
So, in a passing league does a quality interior run defense mean anything anymore? Well, the Top 3 A-Gap run defenses and the Top 4 B-Gap run defenses all went to the playoffs. The playoffs, in the end, showed that even with the proliferation of the passing game, this league is still about balance and stopping inside runs is still a part of that. Not stopping the inside run to the extent that it harms the rest of your defense by overcompensating is, in itself, alarming. The best defenses–the likes of Baltimore, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Houston at the top of these lists–controlled the heart of their defense without having to draw players inside or blitz the inside gaps so frequently that it hurt them elsewhere.

Timing jitter in wavelength-division-multiplexed filtered soliton transmission
JOSA B, Vol. 15, Issue 1, pp. 152-161 (1998)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (296 KB)
The combined effect of lumped filtering and the gain–loss periodicity in a wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton system is evaluated. We find that even with an ideal dispersion tapering that cancels the effect of the gain–loss dynamics, lumped filtering gives a permanent timing displacement after two-soliton collision. The implications on wavelength-division-multiplexed soliton transmission with a large number of channels is discussed. A statistical approach is used to give an estimate of the timing jitter induced by two-soliton collisions in soliton wavelength-division-multiplexed systems.

British Indian arrested in missile sting
S Rajagopala
Washington, August 14
US authorities have arrested a British national of Indian origin after he tried
to smuggle in a Russian surface-to-air missile and sell it to FBI agents posing
as Al-Qaeda operatives.
The man, caught in an elaborate international sting operation, was not
immediately identified. But media reports, citing official sources, identified
him as Hekmat Lakhani, an independent arms dealer based in London.
The middle-aged Lakhani, some reports suggested, had links with the Mumbai
Within hours of Lakhani's arrest from a hotel near Newark International Airport
on Tuesday morning, two other men were picked up from New York's diamond
The arrests came five months after the FBI, in concert with Russian and British
agencies, mounted the sting operation. US undercover agents, tailing Lakhani,
sought to buy from him a Russian SA-18 Igla missile, which can down a
commercial jetliner. Russian agents, acting in tandem with their American
counterparts, supplied the missile to Lakhani and agreed to ship it to the US.
The missile was sent to Baltimore port in a crate labelled âmedical
Lakhani had flown from London to close the deal, but he was confronted with an
arrest warrant immediately after he collected his crate.
While CNN reported Lakhani has in the past sold weapons to Al-Qaeda, federal
officials discounted his association with any terrorist group. "He's just in it
for the money," said an official.
But sections of the media quoted an official as saying that the FBI is in
possession of a tape in which Lakhani has spoken favourably about Osama.
The rocket from Russia
⢠Deadly range: Shoulder-fired Igla missile can down aircraft flying 3.5 km
high. Aircraft taking off and landing are most at risk from it
⢠Fire and hide: Just 1.5m long and weighing 15.5kg, the Igla can be easily
hidden, say, in a golf bag
⢠Igla Hunt: Wonât be easy. Russian officials say tens of thousands of such
missiles have leaked from poorly guarded arsenals

why do they need to hide when they have full protection of british laws and,
more important, the british govt?
Brit govt allows full freedom to terrorists machinery to operate from its
soil despite entreaties of Indian govt to put an end to it.
and what does brit govt do when its terrorists get caught in India?
the british PM visits India and requests Indian govt to release
another moment of truth for brits:

Very deep and sounds great at any speed I'm driving at. I did not use jacks or a lift because my truck had the clearance but without the lift I did take longer to install it, but nonetheless I'm happy. The price, although the exhaust is great quality, is more than I wished to spend.

The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZ
by Anand Lal Shimpi on March 18, 2009 12:00 AM EST- Posted in
- Storage
SYSMark 2007
Our first test is the full SYSMark 2007 benchmark suite. It's a system-level performance test that measures performance based on average response time, making it a great candidate for our SSDs, which should provide pretty low response times, at least compared to standard mechanical disks.
SYSMark is a better CPU test than a storage test, but it still shows that all of these SSDs are easily capable of delivering performance greater than or equal to the VelociRaptor. Note that the JMicron drives are both slower than the 5400RPM notebook hard drive in this test.

The Dells use the Samsung drives (you should see this on the bottom if you pull it out). However, as much as I wish this was one of the newer controllers (I have a few of these at work as well), the testing cycles demanded by Dell probably mean these are the older controllers. Reply -

Kevin Rozario teaches courses in American popular culture, media studies and cultural theory. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Warwick and a master's degree from the School of Oriental and African Studies in the United Kingdom. After receiving his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1997, he taught at Oberlin and Wellesley colleges before coming to Smith.
Although trained as a historian, his interdisciplinary interests keep pulling him into such other fields as literary criticism, media studies, philosophy, economics, environmental history, gender studies, politics and cultural theory. He endeavors to incorporate many of these approaches in his writing. Among other works, he is the author of The Culture of Calamity: Disaster and the Making of Modern America (University of Chicago Press, 2007), which won the 2008 Lois P. Rudnick best book prize awarded by the New England American Studies Association; an article in American Quarterly (2003) on mass culture, sensationalism and the history of American humanitarianism; the lead essay in the book The Resilient City (edited by Larry Vale and Tom Campanella); and an essay "Rising from the Ruins," in the Wall Street Journal (2010).
Rozario is currently writing Whatever Happened to the Underground? The Culture of Capitalism and the Paradoxes of Dissent. He makes occasional ventures into the media, including interviews with NPR, the BBC, the Chronicle of Higher Education and new media outlets like Alternet. In addition to critiquing culture, he sometimes attempts to produce it: writing, playing guitar and singing for Merchant Bankers—a local band that performs melodic, country-inflected, occasionally dissonant, alternative pop. He also plays guitar in the American Studies band The Distractions.

I have always loved chess (learned to play at age 7), but never really got serious till a few years ago. Was a member of WorldChessNetwork when they were still on the web. ICC bought them out and I moved over to ICC and WCL. I found Chess.com just searching the web for chess sites.
Have taken some lessons with IM Tom O'Donnell for a while. He's been very helpful in pointing out and correcting weaknesses in my game. I really enjoy the individual attention you receive having a Coach. Books are great, but having someone see your games, strengths and weaknesses, and helping you develop in all those areas is huge IMO. Finances have limited my ability to continue taking lessons, but at some point I'd like to start those up again.
Say hi if you see me in live chess!
We are working hard to make Chess.com available in over 70 languages. Check back over the year as we develop the technology to add more, and we will try our best to notify you when your language is ready for translating!

1/8/2009 Virginia: How Shortened Yellow Yielded Greater ProfitThe yellow light was shortened at a Fairfax County, Virginia intersection four days before a red light camera contract was signed. As the city of Fairfax prepares next week to become the first in Virginia to resume the use of red light cameras, the history of a county intersection offers an important lesson regarding the area's first experiment with photo ticketing. Of the thirteen intersections where red light cameras were used in Fairfax County, only the intersection Route 50/Lee-Jackson Highway and Fair Ridge Drive reported a significant accident reduction, according to figures provided in a 2007 report by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) (see page 75). It is also a location where the length of the yellow signal was both shortened and lengthened, providing a rare glimpse into the real world effects of each change. Back in 1998, Route 50 and Fair Ridge had a serious problem with collisions. About 74,000 vehicles passed through the busy intersection on a typical day, including a significant number of commercial vehicles. VDOT engineers met with representatives of the Fairfax County Fire Department on August 4 that year to come up with an action plan to improve safety at the location. "They decided to take several steps to reduce the number of red light runners which they felt were a factor in the crash problem," a VDOT official explained in a 2002 email obtained by TheNewspaper. "These actions included... increase the amber time following the Route 50 through movement to 5.5 seconds." The engineers updated the signage at the intersection and enhanced signal visibility. The 1.5 second increase in yellow duration was implemented on August 12, 1998. The accident situation improved significantly. About a year later, on October 11, 1999, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors signed a contract with Lockheed Martin IMS (which now does business as Affiliated Computer Services) to issue photo tickets at ten county intersections with the expectation that the company would generate a total of $13 million in citations over the duration of the three-year agreement. Just four days later, the yellow signal timing at Route 50 and Fair Ridge was shortened back to 4.0 seconds. According to VDOT, the shortening was accidental, but it did prove useful in making the county's red light camera program appear more effective. The shorter yellow helped the "before" data for the intersection show 362 crashes per year for every million vehicles passing through, placing it back once again among the worst in the county. When the red light camera was activated on February 9, 2001, violations were also high at 250 per month, generating a steady flow of revenue. Six weeks later, on March 26, 2001, VDOT decided to increase the yellow timing from 4.0 back to 5.5 seconds. The impact was immediate and dramatic. Average monthly violations dropped from 250 to between 20 and 30 per month -- a 90 percent decrease. The violation rate remained low until the Virginia legislature shut down red light camera programs statewide in 2005. The number of accidents dropped to a rate of 290, reflecting a 20 percent decrease. Although VDOT's 2007 report did find that Fairfax County red light camera intersections experienced a 23 percent increase in accidents overall, this figure would have appeared far worse had the Fair Ridge yellow signal not been increased. Armed with this data, a new group, CameraFraud DC, has formed to challenge Fairfax City and other Virginia jurisdictions looking to install red light cameras once again (visit the group's website). CameraFraud got its start in Arizona where members next week plan to unveil a petition drive aimed at gathering enough signatures to hold a referendum on ending photo ticketing throughout Arizona. A copy of the red light camera datasheet for Route 50 and Fair Ridge from February 8, 2001 through April 30, 2001 is available in a 250k PDF file at the source link below.

YIKES!!!!! 30+ foot boats are expensive!!
Hardware, sails, engine parts, insurance, slip fees, plumbing, maintainence, holy snikeeeees! How do you guys afford to live or is there a such thing as life after sailing. I need to just replace the engine, (or rebuild it) and buy a keel and install it on my 1980 Santana 30 that I won on a salvage auction a few weeks ago for 500.00 bucks. I was lucky because all the sails, rigging, wood work, plumbing, and upolstery and roller furling are in excellent condition and the deck and hull looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. But when I started looking at prices for engine parts, electical and reefer up grades and such, I about crapped my pants. My household income is about 85,000 a year and I am learning very quickly that boats and I mean nice boats are expensive.

Man gets life in prison after repenting for his crime. A Kansas man turned himself in to authorities saying he knowingly committed oral sex on a 4 month old baby. The predator laws in Kansas are some of the strictest in the nation and mandate a life sentence. While the crime is deplorable, should the sentence be lessened because the man admitted his crime to a priest and turned himself in willingly to police?

When adding an extra form field to the readonly_fields
of a ModelAdmin
I get an ImproperlyConfigured
error when opening the admin page of an instance of my model:
TaskClosedAdmin.readonly_fields[0], 'extra_admin_field' is not a callable or an attribute of 'TaskClosedAdmin' or found in the model 'TaskClosed'.
How can I add the extra field to readonly_fields?
I also tried in the get_form()
of TaskClosedAdmin
, thinking that the fields might be updated after super(TaskClosedAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)
def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
form = super(TaskClosedAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)
self.readonly_fields = obj._meta.get_all_field_names()
return form
and I still get the same error about extra_admin_field
not existing... Where can I add it?
class Task(models.Model):
# some fields
class TaskToConfirm(Task):
class Meta:
proxy = True
class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
extra_admin_field = forms.CharField(max_length=10)
class Meta:
model = Task
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(TaskForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# set extra_admin_field value
class TaskAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = TaskForm
class TaskClosedAdmin(TaskAdmin):
readonly_fields = ('extra_admin_field',)

Do We Need Accuracy In Solvers?
I just read this interesting blog post by Samik Raychaudhuri on solver accuracy. He wrote : " typical data accuracy does not go beyond the decimal point, and even if it does, seldom beyond 1-2 places of decimal. Why solve a problem accurately up to 10 places of decimal when the input data is not that accurate? " It reminded me of the 53 bits ought to be enough for anybody post by John D. Cook.

D-Wave vs CPLEX Comparison. Part 2: QUBO
Can we improve CPLEX performance for yet another test series used in McGeoch&Wang paper , namely the native QUBO instances? According to the paper, these instances were random instances constructed to match what the D-Wave hardware can solve directly. These are problems of the form
minimize sum ij Q ij x i x j
where all the variables x i are binary.
Such problems are called QUBO (Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization ) problems. CPLEX release 12.3 didn't do very well according to the paper... [More]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Question from Soul_Gravity
Why does the game keep telling me this? "There is a problem with the disc you're using. It may be dirty or damaged.
I'm playing the first mission for Cesar - He's a guy who's missions open up after you finish the Lowrider Meet, where you get the Blade with Hydraulics. I'm also on the Xbox 360, and I downloaded the game from the Xbox 360 Marketplace.
Whenever I go to the third check point for the race, or whichever one is closest to the tunnel, the game freezes and gives me that error. It also does so if I go near that area, or any where I guess the game didn't download?
Because of me being reckless, I didn't save and went to do this several times and had to re-do missions. But it's good now, that's all handled.
Yet, this problem isn't.
I'll try clearing system cache and re-downloading to see if that will help.
3 years ago
Well, I tried clearing system cache and re-downloading in that order, and again. Third time, I also deleted my saved games. - I wasn't that far along, only 5-6% into the game, had only finished the Sweet, Big Smoke, and Ryder missions on Grove Street, so I don't figure it as a loss, just lost time.
If this doesn't work I'll find a copy of the disk somewhere in Amazon or at the local Gamestop.

I also have the 360 version(110% file) and never encountered this issue perhaps its your system, may i ask how old it is?

2-Phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone (azlactone) reacts with aliphatic aldehydes upon adsorption on neutral alumina and irradiation with microwaves (<2 min). The corresponding condensation products are obtained in good yields (62–78%), indicating the satisfactory resolution of a long-standing problem plaguing the classical Erlenmeyer synthesis (poor results with aliphatic aldehydes). Plausible mechanistic reasons for the success of the procedure are discussed.

You know that UN Food for Oil corruption thing that people keep going on about? Well, the serious accusations in it (rather than 'Iraqi officials added a couple of % to contracts and pocketed the difference', which is a necessary evil when providing humanitarian assistance to people living under a corrupt regime) are pretty much made up.
I wonder how this will play in the right-wing media? (no, I don't really; I'm perfectly aware they'll ignore it as overly reality-based…)
2 thoughts on "Food, oil, etc"
The Gulf between the fantastically rational Monde Diplomatique and the loonies that kept going on about "UNSCAM" is as wide as the planet…
And as Monbiot pointed out the other day the UN problems are nothing next to the waste and corruption of the occupation, and the people in fault are going to be punished, which will never happen in the US. But UNSCAM did its work as a nice denial accessory, and will now be forgotten. -
Key quote:
Four days before Paul Volcker reported his findings about Saddam Hussein, the US Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction published a report about the Coalition Provisional Authority: the US agency which governed Iraq between April 2003 and June 2004. The Inspector General's job is to make sure that the money the authority spent was properly accounted for. It wasn't. In just 14 months, $8.8bn went absent without leave. This is more than Mobutu Sese Seko managed to steal in 32 years of looting Zaire. It is 55,000 times as much as Mr Sevan is alleged to have been paid.

Technical Tips from Mark W. Persons |
AM Tower Welding |
Whenever you have an AM radio station, it is extremely
important that the tower or towers have their sections welded to each other.
This makes a tower a continuous electrical conductor from the top to the bottom.
Towers are typically built using 20-foot sections.
You would think that tons of downward pressure on each section joint would result in a good electrical connection. Well, corrosion increases the electrical resistance of the connection. With bad connections, the antenna impedance can change resulting in antenna current readings that are not consistent with FCC licensed values. Corrosion can also cause RF harmonics of the operating frequency to be higher than the FCC allowed limit. Any harmonics IE: 2, 3, and 4 times the operating frequency, must be attenuated by more than 73 dB when the station is running 1000 Watts of power or 80 dB when running 5000 Watts or more of power. This AM tower is nicely built as it has 18-inch fiberglass insulators at the top of each guy line. If the top insulator had been porcelain, then a shorted insulator could cause problems with the tower impedance. |
The first photo shows a tower worker arc-welding sections together. After the work, the welds were covered with cold galvanizing as seen in the second photo. If the tower is over 200 feet with required marking, the galvanizing is painted over with orange or white to match the rest of the tower. |
The stories go on and on.
Stop in again sometime. I'll leave the soldering iron on for you.
