Why do they need the solution in radicals to a particular quartic? Are
they really going to try to use this code to compute the (numerical)
solutions to this quartic? If so they will encounter a number of
problems (see Ins and Outs in The Mathematica Journal 9-3):
[1] In general, radical formulations are prone to numeric problems.
Mathematica Root objects, e.g,
Root[Function[x, a x^4+b x^3+c x+d], 1]
do not have this liability.
[2] For certain parameters, the expression involving radicals may
involve I, even when the root is real. This means that numeric
evaluation will give small imaginary part.
In other words, the radical expression is likely to be useless for any
practical purpose. In fact, you can avoid it arising by setting
SetOptions[Roots, Cubics -> False, Quartics -> False]

My client decided on Plesk as their web host. The site has been up 9 months now and it has been great. I have to make some changes to the site, but the home page won't update.
If you click home and index.html is showing in the address bar then the updates are there. I've never used Plesk other than the setting up the site for the first time I'm not sure how to update the front page correctly.
Any help would be appreciated. Oh and my client is using Plesk 8.3.0
If you clear your browser's cache and reload the page, do you see the changes you've made?
Yes. That was an easy fix. Thank you very much!

Global fund manager Colonial First State's property arm is set to bail out some of Melbourne's highest-profile businessmen as it prepares to buy half of troubled discount retail chain Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) in a $600 million deal.
The deal, which is still being negotiated, would give DFO's parent company, Austexx, some breathing room as it tries to assuage its bankers and reduce its $1 billion debt burden.
Austexx is owned by BRW Rich 200 members David Goldberger and David Wieland and counts Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman
While Austexx's assets were once valued at $1.5 billion, they are now worth considerably less.
Colonial, which has long been mooted as a buyer, has this week registered business names linked to DFO centres at Homebush in Sydney, South Wharf in Melbourne's Docklands, as well as Essendon and Moorabbin in Victoria.
Colonial, which is likely to buy the assets through its $5 billion CFS Retail Property Trust, will not buy some of the assets that have been underperforming.
A deal could be closed as early as next week although there are still some hurdles to overcome. Completion could take much longer given the number of parties involved.
Sources close to the negotiations also claim there is still a chance that the chain could collapse into administration.
Neither Austexx chief executive Geoff Porz nor Colonial First State Global Asset Management's head of property, Darren Steinberg, would comment yesterday. Colonial manages the listed CFS Retail Property Trust and several wholesale funds that invest in retail property.
The assets are being sold by Jones Lang LaSalle's Simon Rooney.
DFO stores outside those sought by Colonial are in Cairns, Jindalee, Brisbane Airport and Canberra, while Austexx also owns a former DFO centre on Melbourne's Spencer Street. The DFO chain was imperilled in August when an Austexx subsidiary company struggled to find the funding to complete its $700 million South Wharf development. The project, which was more than 90 per cent finished, owed $450 million to its primary financiers and more to mezzanine lenders.
Austexx struck an 11th-hour deal with its consortium of lenders –
NAB's involvement with Austexx prompted Mr Samuel to remove himself from the ACCC's decision over NAB's $13.3 billion takeover bid for
The rescue package had initially been delayed by representatives of Mr Samuel, who was furious after learning that Austexx assets he invested in, investments that are now held through a blind family trust, were put up as collateral against the troubled South Wharf development, jeopardising a major portion of his wealth. Mr Samuel owned 25 per cent of the Austexx parent company when it was established, a stake previously worth about $40 million. His representatives backed the bank bailout after brokering a compensation deal with Austexx on his behalf under which he will receive a $5 million payout from any asset sale, according to sources.
Australian Securities and Investments Commission documents also show that Austexx has moved its headquarters from St Kilda Road to the beleaguered South Wharf precinct.

Reviews for Ham, Red beans and Rice
Average Rating
Reviewed Feb. 1, 2014
"I made a smaller portion using only one can of red beans in case it didn't turn out well. However, my picky husband loved this meal. I used leftover ham from a baked ham. I did not have any cumin, so I did without it. I also substituted the hot pepper sauce with a dash of Silvia's Sizzlin' Hot Spice. My husband literally licked his plate clean."

Seattle Neighborhood Debates Zoning Changes Near Light Rail Station
"A proposed city rezone of a 10-block area around the Mount Baker light-rail station that includes allowing buildings up to 125 feet tall has drawn opposition from some Rainier Valley residents," according to an article by Lynn Thompson.
"Some Mount Baker residents say what the neighborhood needs isn't taller buildings, but jobs, education and public safety."
Presenting the other side of the argument is Councilmember Mike O'Brien, who "agrees the city needs to address crime and economic development in Southeast Seattle," but also "argues that failing to rezone won't help those problems, while a rezone could attract new businesses, new investments and more jobs."
The full council is scheduled to vote on the plan on June 23.

Spencer Pigot Takes Third In Round 7 At Lucas Oil Raceway
Posted by: newsla on May 26, 2014 - 05:24 PM
Spencer Pigot Takes Third In Round 7 At Lucas Oil Raceway
Juncos Racingâs Spencer Pigot takes third in the first oval race of the season in Round 7 of the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires at the Allied Building Products Oval Challenge. The 90 lap race ran green to the checkered flag on the 0.686-mile Lucas Oil Raceway located in Clermont, Indiana as part of the 69th Annual Visit Hendricks County Night Before the 500. The team continues to lead both driver and team pointâs standings in the Pro Mazda Championship.
Spencer Pigot, 20, driving the #7 Doug Mockett & Company/Rising Star Racing/VitaminPro App/California Scents/Juncos Racing added his fifth podium finish of the season taking third in Round 7 after qualifying second. Pigot holds on to the lead of the Pro Mazda Championship. "The car was great in the first half of the race," said Pigot. "We were all over Garett (Grist) and I had a couple of chances to pass him but I didnât want to be overly aggressive. About halfway through the race we started losing time and something felt wrong with the car. After the race we discovered that the right front tire had lost most of the air. To come away with a Top-3 with a flat right front which really is the most important tire on an oval is a good day. We would have liked to have won but that was the best we had given the circumstances. I canât thank my team enough for all of their hard work."
Kyle Kaiser, 18, driving the #18 InterVision/NetApp/JuniperNetworks/Riverbed/Juncos Racing car finished inside the Top-10 taking eighth after starting ninth in Round 7. Kaiser currently sits third in the Pro Mazda Championship.
"Not the results we were expecting based on our times in testing," said Kaiser. "I experienced a few setbacks in race day practice and qualifying, so I had my work cut out for me in the race. We were able to gain one position at the start, but things got too spread out to advance any further. Overall, we gained some valuable experience and will be more prepared for the next oval in August." Making his first appearance on an oval track, Rookie José Gutiérrez, 17, driving the #5 Racing for Mexico/Juncos Racing car added another Top-10 finish to the season taking ninth after qualifying eighth for Round 7. The young Mexican stands eight in the Pro Mazda Championship.
"Lucas Oil Raceway was interesting for me because it was my first race on an oval," said Gutiérrez. "Testing on Friday was a huge help for me to learn how to get close to the wall and understand the throttle management. Qualifying was a little bit difficult because you only had two laps. My first lap was a little slow but my second lap was fast. In the race I had a nice clean start. In the middle of the race I had a lot of understeer and was losing grip. Overall the race went well as I was able to finish ninth and add points to the championship."
Argentinean rookie Julia Ballario, 22, driving the #6 Pistas Argentinas/Juncos Racing car made her first appearance of her career on an oval finishing just outside the Top-10 in 12th after starting the race in 12th position. Ballario currently sits 10th in the Pro Mazda Championship.
"I am very happy with the work we accomplished at Lucas Oil Raceway this weekend," said Ballario. "It was a positive experience on my first race on an oval. The second half of the race went very well for me as I was able to push myself and gain speed. Thank you to Pistas Argentinas, Argentina Art, my spotter Peter Dempsey and Juncos Racing for all of their support."
Team Owner, Ricardo Juncos, was pleased with his team adding another podium finish as they continue their battle for the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship. "We had an overall positive weekend adding another podium finish to the season as we continue to fight for the championship," said Juncos. "Spencer did a great job keeping the car on track and taking a third place finish after discovering the right front tire had gone flat around 30-40 laps to go of the race. These types of things happen and you cannot control them in racing. Kyle was able to stay consistent and clean for the race. Jose and Julia did a fantastic job in their first appearance on an oval and I am very proud of how well they were able to run."
The 2014 Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires season returns next month June 28-29th for Rounds 8 and 9 on the 1.7-mile street course at Reliant Park in Houston Texas. For more information please visit juncosracing.com and promazdachampionship.com.
About Juncos Racing: Ricardo Juncos, a former Formula Renault driver and son of a driver, grew up with a deep passion and desire for racing. At the age of 14, Juncos made his first steps in the racing community driving karts in Argentina. Through his success in karts Juncos was able to join the Formula Renault class competing throughout South America. After funding became difficult as many drivers experience over their career, Juncos began working for many race teams in order to continue his own racing career. During this time Juncos was able to learn all aspects of the car in and out, along with schooling in mechanical and electrical engineering.
Stationed in Buenos Aires, Argentina and headed by Ricardo Juncos, "Juncos Racing" became a full-service Formula Racing team in 1997. By 2003, the team relocated to Miami, Florida as a full-service karting team. During the first few years in the U.S., the team picked up 19 local, regional, and national karting titles. Moving right along, Juncos Racing not only moved operations north to Indiana, but it developed into a formula open-wheel racing team in 2008. The team went into full swing, dedicating most of the time preparing drivers and crew members for the next level in racing. Following this transitional year, Juncos Racing participated in its first open-wheel seriesâthe 2009 Star Mazda Championship. 2010 proved to be a big year for the team in the Star Mazda Championship capturing the driver championship and finishing second in the team championship. By 2012, the teamâs operations expanded to include cars in the Firestone Indy Lights series and even fastest lap of the Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Juncos Racing currently operates out of Brownsburg, Indiana.

I'd be a pyro
The wheel weaves as the wheel wills
I'd have 3 super powers: being able to bite really hard, the ability to get hyper and fall asleep instantly.
What just flew out of my butthole?!
Alright all ya Crunchyrollers this post got me started. I'll get to what I want in a minute or ten. I'll start with what I DO NOT WANT.
1)You will cease to evolve. Given enough time you will look like a chimp to the decedents of humanity.
2) IF people found out, and they would you would be turned in to a lab rat you would be experimented on or captured so they could take your blood for transfusions.
3)How you perceive time will change. It will become insanely fast. Remember when you were a kid an an hour lasted an eternity, now days go by in the blink of an eye. Multiply that by a 1000 years.
4) You will get stuck somewhere. Earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides. If you are not trapped by a disaster on earth you will be when the Earth get eaten by the sun.
5) What flavor of immortal are you? Can you still feel pain? If you get cut in half sure you wont be dead but you will be in agony forever.
Alone flying would suck. With out the strength to land safely or the speed to fly quickly your a goose flying along till you get hit by a 747.
1)Knowing what people truly think of you not really a good thing.
2) People get to watch all the chewed food, and other food matter. Remember you not the byproducts of what you ate are invisible.
3) Ring of Gyges
1) Lightning from your finger tips. WAY to close to the Bang and flash. Seared retinas and burst ear drums not fun.
BORING as hell. Not to mention trying to recall everything. Every have trouble remembering a friends phone number multiple that by all the knowledge of the universe. Try remembering how to talk when your thinking about the locations of all the particles in the universe.
The point I'm trying to make is that any one power would suck you need several working in concert in order to have something that works. Therefore I will not go for a "Super Power" per-say rather I'll go for a trait. "FLAWLESS LUCK". All lights will be green, never fall never trip never get into a car accident, boss promotes you, win any lottery. It's a power that cannot go wrong. Even if you want to do the hero thing. YOu can walk in to a war zone and win the war by beating the bad guys over the head with a large fish and because your luck is perfect you will walk out without a scratch. LUCK is where it is at.
From a place you will not see, a sound you will not hear.

I think Light Yagami has an answer to that:D
The power to control minds

Shift shaping, invisibility, and the ability to time travel.

So things in your GI system would be visible? So people can always see the secreted mucus in your stomach? And I guess then they can also see the fluid in your blood, but not your blood cells? And also the keratin outside your cells on your skin? This is sounding less and less like being invisible. The superpower is invisibility. It doesn't have to be possible in the real world to talk about it. Stop being a pedant.
The ability to kill who I want by decapitation, by imagining so in my mind, regardless of their level of ability, almost like the people who could first use telekinesis in Shinsekai Yori.
The ability to get any girl I want. ANY. That would be pretty awesome no?
I wish I had a .38 to end this shit
blink as in teleport anywhere i want.. like instant transmisison in dbz or nightcrawler in xmen.. most awesome power ever..
this beats being able to fly because u can just blink in air, free fall then blink safely anywhere..
also, you can avoid anything specially ones that can kill you..
this can also be used to steal money from the bank therefore unlimited money..
with so many pros idk what cons this power has..
wish theres a SAO mmorpg IRL
Sure, I'll bite. I'll go for creativity on this one.
The ability to shunt stuff off to my own little pocket dimension(s), and recall them back into normal space at will. I call this power Inventory Space.
The most obvious nasty thing you can do is stuff a live person in there. They suffocate and leave no body until you say so.
Then there's the creative stuff you can do with it, though it's mainly manipulating how physics work when you bring stuff back. Returning bullets fired at you back at the shooter is the obvious one, but there's more.
But most of all, it would just be convenient.
Parking spots? I don't need no stinkin' parking spots!

No? I mean, no matter how I think about it, I'm pretty sure that power would always involve consent issues. If a girl gives consent to a relationship/sex because of your powers, does that actually count as consent? In most of the western world, at least, people cannot legally give consent while under the influence of drugs or alcohol; presumably your power would have similar effects- i.e. altering the way they think. Therefore, you'd either get the girl(s) and have to deal with the fact that you're arguably a rapist, or... never, ever be in a relationship again, because you don't want to be accused of sex crimes, but it's impossible to tell if someone really likes you or it's just your powers influencing them.

LONG BEACH - Peter Pappageorge is good enough to start for the Long Beach State men's basketball team and has started 11 of 23 games.
But nine of those starts came during the first 11 games prior to midseason transfers Keala King and Tony Freeland becoming eligible.
Even so, Pappageorge has played a vital role in the team's success. Last Saturday was a classic example.
Pappageorge played a whopping 32 minutes off the bench in an 83-80 victory at Cal State Northridge. He scored 15 points - all on clutch 3-point baskets - had an assist, a steal and three rebounds and committed just one turnover.
He was a vocal leader, too, in encouraging his teammates during a hotly contested game that came on the heels of a 21-point drubbing at Hawaii two days earlier.
Pappargeorge's worth has not been lost on coach Dan Monson.
"I think he's invaluable," said Monson, whose team plays host to Cal State Fullerton tonight at 8 in a Big West game at Walter Pyramid (on ESPNU). "I said to the assistants the other day that this team would be lost without him. I think people get so caught up in who starts a game - that's supposed to be your best five guys - and I just don't agree with that. If you noticed, I don't think we've ended a game this year without him on the floor.
"To me, your best five players need to be out there when the game's on the line, not when it starts. Some of these other guys mentally can't handle not starting is the only reason why he (Pappageorge) doesn't start. He's certainly one of our best five players, and for this team, with the lack of some of the focus we've had, without him I'd hate to see where our focus and our discipline in running things would be."
It's all about attitude, and Pappageorge's is a coach's dream.
"I try not to really look at it as me coming off the bench. It's just when I'm going in," said Pappageorge, a senior guard. "I just do my job and stay within myself and whatever the coaches need, whatever the team needs, that's what I'll do, and just let the game come to me - try not to force anything.
"And if I finish the game, I think that's more important than starting the game."
The catch about Pappageorge is he rarely makes a turnover. His 633 minutes played are third-highest on the team. His 22 turnovers on the season translates to one every 28.7 minutes. James Ennis (761 minutes, 70 turnovers) commits one every 10.8 minutes, Mike Caffey (772 minutes, 68 turnovers) one every 11.3 minutes.
"He's one of the best players I've ever coached at knowing his limitations," Monson said. "He never tries to make plays he's not capable of making."
That's not to mention those leadership skills.
"It's been a learning process for James, Mike and I to be the leaders of this team," said Pappageorge, who along with Caffey and Ennis is a team captain. "I think as the year goes on we understand it needs to come from us to get these guys going."
Pappageorge is averaging 7.4 points and 1.7 assists for the first-place 49ers (14-9, 10-2) and is shooting 37.9 percent from 3-point range.
Scouting the Titans
This never is an easy game for Long Beach, regardless of records.
The Titans (12-11, 5-6) gave the 49ers all they could handle during an 81-71 Long Beach victory at Fullerton on Jan. 19.
"In my career here we've never swept them," said Monson, in his sixth season. "The one time we won over there we lost over here, so we know that this is not an ordinary game. This is a game that is a rivalry game, a game that no matter what each team's record is, it's personal. And we also know how tough it's going to be. They're one of the top scoring teams in the country."
Senior guards D.J. Seeley and Kwame Vaughn lead the Titans in scoring with respective averages of 19.3 and 18.0. Senior forward Sammy Yeager averages 16.0 points.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I was talking to Jim Cramer today about Wednesday's sale of meat producer Smithfield Foods ( SFD) to Chinese food company Shuanghui International for $4.72 billion dollars.My issue with the buyout is not one of value or share price. It is about a fairly obvious "resource war" that has been emerging from the Chinese, who have been slowly entering American commodity markets and buying up U.S. natural resources. This trend is most evident in oil and gas where the two largest Chinese energy companies have bought billions in assets in oil and gas. Cnooc ( CEO) has entered into two major joint venture deals with natural gas company Chesapeake ( CHK) in the Niobrara and Eagle Ford shale formations, paying more than $3 billion for the assets, and Chinese mega-cap Sinopec ( SNP) recently followed suit, buying half of Chesapeake's Mississippi Lime assets for $1.02B in cash. These deals have come on the heels of the monster buy of Canadian oil giant Nexen by Cnooc for $15.1B, which closed in February. There has been limited pushback on the increasing ownership of American and Canadian energy assets since Cnooc ended its pursuit of California energy company UNOCAL in 2005. But since that proposed deal was met with protest and quashed, several others have closed without a hitch. The United States still represents a cornucopia of natural resources that no other nation can match in grains, energy and metals. Is there a line that should be drawn in the sale of these assets to foreign nations? And in the case of Smithfield, is home-grown pork and chicken another national resource that no outside entity should own? I discuss this idea with Jim in the video above. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

Sounds odd to me. Never heard of this.
While on the ground, craw under with a flashlight and poke around. Check that the springs are seated correctly and not accidently seated screwy on a perch. Also check that the sway bar endlinks are not binding and are free to pivot correctly.
Also, while under there, have a buddy push up and down on the rear of the car as you observe what is going on from under the car.

Wyo-CU wbb final stats | Wyo WBB Season Stats
The Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team (4-1 overall) suffered their first loss of the season to the Colorado Buffaloes (5-0 overall) by the final of 68-59, on Wednesday night in Boulder.
"At the pregame talk, we discussed playing at a high level and aggressive for 40 minutes," said head coach Joe Legerski. "We were able to do that and there was no give up in this team. We fought back and took the lead in the second half, we just couldn't hold onto it. CU was able to put tremendous pressure on us defensively and 18 turnovers is too many opportunities to give up. I'm pleased how we competed through the end. This was a learning experience for this group. Ashley Sickles gave us a big lift tonight and Kaitlyn came in with confidence and made some big plays. Chaundra with 14 rebounds, eight of them offensive, you can see what she means to the group."
Three Cowgirls finished the night in double-figures led by sophomore Kaitlyn Mileto. She recorded 16 points while shooting 6-12 from the field. Ashley Sickles followed with 14 points, while Kayla Woodward chipped in 10. Chaundra Sewell finished her night with a season high 14 boards to lead the team. Wyoming was 21-60 from the field and 10-12 (.833) from the free throw line. They would commit 18 turnovers which turned into 27 points for the Buffs.
Colorado was led by Chuck Jeffery with a game high 21 points plus 10 rebounds. Arielle Roberson added 14 points while Jen Reese followed with ten. The Buffs were 28-64 (.438) from the field and had 39 rebounds.
The Cowgirls got on the board first with a jumper from Chaundra Sewell. Colorado answered with eight straight points started by a Rachel Hargis layup to give them an 8-2 lead. A basket from Fallon Lewis would end the run and a four minute scoring drought. On the next possession, Jen Reese hit a basket to make it 10-4 going into the first media timeout. Wyoming responded out of the break by scoring five unanswered to close the gap to one point, 10-9, which included a three-point field goal by Ashley Sickles. Two straight baskets by Chucky Jeffery extended the lead back to five, 14-9. Neither team hit a field goal for several minutes with a few free throws until a three point field goal by Kaitlyn Mileto evened it all up at 15. On the Cowgirls next possession, a three-point basket by Sickles gave them their first lead of the game, 18-15, with 6:28 on the clock. Colorado evened it up the next time down the court and then the two teams traded the next couple scores. With it all tied up at 20, the Buffs scored the next seven of nine to give them a five point advantage, 27-22. Wyoming answered with four straight points to pull to within one, 27-26 with under a minute left in the half. Unfortunately, CU closed out the half with a 4-0 run to take a 31-26 lead into the lockerroom.
Ashley Sickles led all scorers for Wyoming with ten. She was followed by Chaundra Sewell with seven points and a team high six rebounds. They were 10-28 (.357) from the field and brought down 17 rebounds. CU was led by Chucky Jeffery with 11 points and five boards to lead the Buffs. They had 12 points in the paint and 12 points off turnovers.
In the second half, Wyoming came out and went on a 7-2 run to go ahead by one, 34-33, with four points came from Kayla Woodward. After a basket from Jeffery, the Cowgirls scored four straight to take their largest lead 38-35. They would maintain that lead for the next several minutes until the Buffs tied it up at 40 all. A basket by Lexy Kresl put Colorado up two, 42-40, but a Woodward three gave Wyoming a one point lead, 43-42. Nine straight points started by another Kresl basket gave the Buffs an eight point lead, 51-43. Out of a Cowgirl timeout, a basket from Sickles and Sewell made it 51-47, with 11 minutes to go. Colorado would respond with six straight to extend the lead to double-figures, 57-47. One of two free throws by Fallon Lewis ended a four minute scoring drought by UW but CU came right back with another 7 of 11 to make it 64-52 with 3:43 remaining in the game. Despite a solid effort the remainder of the way, Wyoming suffered their first defeat of the season, 68-59.
Wyoming returns home to close out their week on Saturday, Dec. 1. They will host the Eastern Michigan Eagles beginning at 2:00 p.m. in the Arena Auditorium.

According to the report, most Africans who are dying are the breadwinners and teachers: the sexually active generation in their mid-20s to mid-40s.
As a consequence, vast numbers of children are being orphaned, with Africa home to more than half the 14 million children worldwide who have lost one or both parents to AIDS.
Infant and child mortality is also soaring as more babies are born inheriting their mother's HIV infection. Infant mortality in Swaziland and Zimbabwe is nearly twice as high due to the AIDS epidemic.
Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland and South Africa are expected to experience negative population growth by 2010, the report said. The population structure of some of the worst hit countries is being altered because of the missing middle generation that will not look after the young or old.
Last week a United Nations report said it expected 70 million deaths from AIDS by 2020 if major efforts are not made to stem the disease, which is fast spreading through Eastern Europe and Asia.
A leading AIDS expert said at the conference that no country had controlled HIV/AIDS and different parts of the world faced their own challenges.
Dr Kevin De Cock, from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention program in Kenya, said that whether it was through intravenous drug use in southern and eastern Europe, commercial sex workers in Asia, heterosexual sex in Africa or risky behaviour in the US, the spread of the virus was insidious.
In Eastern Europe, where the epidemic is spreading rapidly among men, he called for needle exchange programs and interventions to reduce drug use.
He said improvements to the safety of blood supplies, particularly in China, and targeting of the prevention message to commercial sex workers were needed to limit the spread of the virus in Asia.

We throw the term "MIDI" around a great deal these days, but how much do we really know about MIDI? In terms of Godin Guitars, all of the SA (Synth Access) guitars have an available 13-pin output that can drive a Roland or Axon "Guitar Synth". The 13-pin cable itself has nothing to do with MIDI; it's just a cable that carries the separate strings of the guitar to the synth unit. So, does MIDI make synth sounds? Well, yes and no. To get to the bottom of this, we have to go back in time.
Rewind to the early 1980's and think back to what a computer could do at that time… Word processing at that point in time was a huge deal. Computers didn't record any audio back then. What a computer was able to do was send small amounts of data out to control external devices. Once musicians got wind of this, there was a nice groudswell about the "possibilities" of hooking a keyboard up to a computer (the keyboard was the most evolved synthesizer of the day, even though guitar synthesizers existed at the time.) Let's get back to the idea of "control," as that's all MIDI does. The computer controlled the keyboard, it told it what note to play, how long to play it and how loud to play it. There may have been other data sent, such as pitch bend and other goodies, but essentially a computer could make a keyboard sound through very simple text based instructions: note on, note off, velocity. In these early days, there was no standard for how computers and keyboards interacted until MIDI was finalized in 1983. The standard was reached by a consortium of companies that represented the state-of-the-art in keyboards and electronics of the time. All MIDI was, and still is, is a text-based language for computers to control keyboards and vice versa; and nowadays, any sound producing device, from a guitar synth, to a computer plug-in.)
MIDI has nothing to do with audio… A MIDI cable sends basic data (better yet: instructions) to a device (such as a keyboard or a sampler) and the device makes the sound. MIDI will only ever be commands through a cable, and it will never be a sound, only an instruction. Repeat after me: MIDI is data! Audio is sound!
What made it even better is that the keyboard could send its data to the computer and record it as MIDI events, and compositions could be made and manipulated on the computer; this is known as "sequencing," as in a sequence of events — in this case, MIDI events. Musicians relished in the idea of writing music, manipulating it in the computer and having the computer deal with the complexities of playback; not the mention the ease of converting MIDI to standard musical notation. The programs we know of as Logic and Cubase were born during these days, albeit with different names at the time.
What's amazing is how simple MIDI is: note on, note off and velocity, and how it hasn't changed, virtually at all since 1983! As computers became more powerful, they took on audio and other jobs, but MIDI remained unchanged.
So, what does this have to do with the guitar? Well, we guitarist don't want to be left out of the fun. We wanted to get in on this party! Keyboards have it really easy, they press a key, which is a switch and the keyboard sends out a very simple note on and velocity command in MIDIspeak. Since each key has a different switch, it's very easy to keep track of which key is being pressed; building a MIDI keyboard is a (relatively) simple operation. On the guitar, it's not that simple… Each note has to be analyzed, detected and converted to MIDI. It's a very complicated process and simply takes time! As technology has progressed, the time it takes for the audio-to-MIDI conversion (also known as latency) has improved, and this has made it easier for guitarist to join in the party. Computers have also become smarter, faster and more fun to use as musical creation tools.
MIDI conversion on a guitar involves a pickup, more specifically, a pickup that has an independent sensor for each string. Each string is sent separately, on its own MIDI channel for conversion. Most MIDI converters call for a bulky, external pickup to attach to your guitar. Not only do these pickups aesthetically look bad, they are not as accurate as other styles of pickups. The best MIDI pickup is a piezo-based pickup, one that is built into a set of bridge saddles. Piezo-based pickups track faster, more reliably and require no external modification to an instrument; if you didn't know it was there, you'd never know your guitar had it. You also get the piezo acoustic tone as a bonus!
It's no surprise that every Godin SA equipped guitar uses piezo-based pickups in their guitars. This not only leaves you with the best quality MIDI conversion, but a beautiful looking guitar. Simply put, if you want clean, accurate MIDI conversion, start with a piezo-equipped Godin SA and plug into a whole new world of recording, transcriptions and musicianship.
Now that you know a little about MIDI, we'll spend each month talking about all the fun you can have with your SA equipped Godin, and believe me, you're going to have a blast! I use my Multiacs for recording, notation and live guitar synth playing — they really "do it all."

Moore, Oklahoma (AFP) May 21, 2013
Families returned to a blasted moonscape that had been an American suburb Tuesday after a monstrous tornado tore through the outskirts of Oklahoma City, killing at least 24 people.
Passengers flying into Oklahoma City could see the track left by nature's fury as it played out Monday: the spot where the tornado touched down, then chewed through the suburb of Moore like a giant lawnmower for 45 terrifying minutes.
Nine children were among the dead and entire neighborhoods vanished, with often the foundations being the only thing left of what used to be houses and cars tossed like toys and heaped in big piles.
"It's unreal. It's so visceral," said 32-year-old accountant Roger Graham as he combed through the ruins of the three-bedroom home he shared with his wife Kalissa, a school teacher, recovering what he could.
Kelly Pirtle of the US weather agency's Severe Storms Laboratory in nearby Norman, told AFP the tornado was the strongest possible category, EF5, packing winds of more than 200 miles per hour (321 kilometers per hour).
Oklahoma City police chief Bill Citty told a news conference that 20 people had been killed in Moore and four more elsewhere in the city.
"There could be obviously others in the coming days. The search is still going on, heavily in Moore because they have such a large area to cover," he said, adding: "So we have a 24 right now. There could be more.
"All of the people that have been reported missing -- initially last night, about 48 -- all of those have been actually found except for I think a few left in Moore that they are working on to try to locate that have not."
At least 101 people have been pulled alive from under debris, said Terri Watkins of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, and officials said more than 200 people have been injured.
Some of the children killed were buried when the two-mile wide funnel of wind demolished an elementary school.
US President Barack Obama declared a "major disaster" as crews combed the wreckage of the shattered community, where even residents with long memories of past storms were shocked by the devastation.
In televised remarks from the White House, Obama made special mention of the young victims as he mourned those lost and promised to provide survivors with the help they need to find their footing.
"The people of Moore should know that their country will remain on the ground there for them, beside them as long as it takes for their homes and schools to rebuild," Obama said.
"There are empty spaces where there used to be living rooms and bedrooms and classrooms and in time we're going to need to refill those spaces with love and laughter and community," he added.
The killer system -- packing powerful winds of up to 200 miles per hour (322 kilometers per hour) -- flattened block after block of homes, set off fires, downing power lines and tossed cars.
Stunned weather forecasters described an epic two-mile (three-kilometer) wide mid-afternoon storm, as news helicopter footage showed a dark twister plowing through densely packed suburbs.
"To me, this is bigger than anything I've ever seen. It's absolutely huge. It's horrific," Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said.
"It looked like somebody just set off something that just destroyed structures, not blocks, but miles of areas, and major buildings from hospitals to schools to banks to shopping centers, movie theaters."
Local television footage on Monday showed children as young as nine being pulled out of the Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, a residential community of 55,000 just south of Oklahoma's state capital.
"I had to hold onto the wall to keep myself safe," one little girl said.
The Moore Medical Center was evacuated after it sustained damage, and state authorities called out the National Guard to help rescue efforts as Obama ordered federal aid to supplement local recovery efforts.
Rescue operations already hindered by the mounds of debris and fallen power lines could be further disrupted by more foul weather.
"I had no idea it was coming," said a horse stable worker, who told how he survived the "unbearably loud" twister by taking cover in one of the stalls.
Monday's tornado followed roughly the same track as a May 1999 twister that killed 44 people, injured hundreds more and destroyed thousands of homes.
Tornadoes frequently stalk Oklahoma's wide open plains but Monday's twister struck a populated urban area. Because of the hard ground, few homes here are built with basements or storm shelters in which residents can take cover.
Oklahoma City lies inside the so-called "Tornado Alley" stretching from South Dakota to central Texas, an area particularly vulnerable to tornadoes, but Moore's residents were shocked at the devastation.
Some 29,000 people remained without power early Tuesday, according to OG&E, the local utility.
The National Weather Service forecast more tornadoes later Tuesday, with parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas most likely to be affected.

The relevant code appears on slide 14 of 46 and is prefaced by the text:
How do we calculate the marginal effect of treatment after biprobit? Three
"obvious" approaches: use -margins-, use -predict- to get probabilities, or use
binormal() with predicted linear indices. The last is more correct, but all
should give essentially the same answer.
Evidently, the -margins- approach is the least correct.
If results differ, you should prefer the other approaches, but
read the references on interpretation of various ATE estimates.
Also, read the Statalist FAQ on not replying to an old thread to
initiate a new query.
I doubt -biprobit- will work well for the model with an endogenous interaction.
You have a single instrument z for two endogenous variables y2 and x*y2.
Instead of
biprobit (y1=x y2 xy2) (y2=x z)
ivreg2 y1 x (y2 xy2=z xz)
(ivreg2 is on SSC) and read the references on weak instruments
diagnostics in the -ivreg2- help file.

More on AAP
H.460.20 consented at the last Study Group 16 meeting solves the problem of how
to provide location information in calls generated to/from H.323 systems. The
Recommendation allows these systems � such as VoIP or videoconferencing � to
convey information that could be a URL, an e-Mail, a postal code, or a mobile
telephone number. This is much more than can be achieved with a traditional
public switched telephone network (PSTN) call.
Currently calls generated or terminated in H.323 systems do not carry -
end-to-end � details of where that call is coming from. This information is
needed by the public switched telephone network (PSTN) for emergency services,
more accurate billing and for routing the call. Additionally it is useful, for
instance, in applications such as telemarketing where calls can be routed
according to their origin.
Technically H.460.20 gives H.323 the ability to convey the location number
present in ISUP � the system that determines the set-up, co-ordination and
taking down of calls. Without this ability location information is lost at the
interworking edge between the IP network and the PSTN. An additional benefit is
that it simplifies interworking with the session initiation protocol (SIP).
ITU-T has
agreed to a revision of a Recommendation that experts say is an important step
towards solving the problem of lengthy call setups in 3G video telephony. Seen
as a key issue to address, the resolution of this issue may help accelerate the
market for 3G.
According to SG 16 sources the standard has been successfully tested in
products and many mobile operators and handset manufacturers have started
The revised ITU-T Recommendation H.324 speeds the initiation of 3G video
sessions through the streamlining of the call set-up signalling that is
necessary to establish the connection between two handsets and between a
handset and a media server.
Previously setting up a typical video session required each end to send up to
ten messages to the other terminal, each time waiting for a message to be
received and acknowledged before sending the next one. And, if a message was
not received, the sending device had to wait and finally time out before
retransmitting. The delay introduced in this process led to long video call
set-up times.
The new method eliminates the message queuing and time out issues. Now, all
signalling is sent as a single batch to be processed by the receiving device.
Missed messages, due for example to network errors, are immediately detected by
the receiving device and retransmission requests are spontaneously generated.
This leads to much quicker call setup times, bringing video connectivity close
to the same level of service as traditional telephony.
Key for many operators is that implementation will not require manufacturers to
recall phones, also meaning that services may work on existing devices. Other
advantages of the new approach include the fact that it is protocol and network
independent, enabling connectivity with any other device, even if it is
IP-based (e.g. IP video streaming server or a PC-based video terminal) and
meaning that it does not interact with underlying network protocols or codecs,
enabling devices using the standard to operate even when roaming in other
mobile networks.
suite of ten new standards that provide security for IP media communications
such as VoIP or videoconferencing got an update at the last meeting of ITU-T�s Study Group 16.
The security framework outlined in the H.235 series of ITU-T Recommendations
provides the protocols necessary for these media to be authorised and routed.
Equipment using these standards can deliver connectivity without compromising
With the help of the Recommendations, users communicating through IP media are
authenticated and authorized so that their communications are protected against
various security threats. Real-time multimedia encryption adds a further layer
of security, protecting against call interception. The security countermeasures
are designed to thwart service fraud, avoid service misuse and detect malicious
message tampering. H.235 also gives the ability to provide a greater level of
security using public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates.
Additionally, two new security profiles were added to provide [H.235.8] key
exchange using the secure real-time transport protocol (SRTP) in H.323 networks
and [H.235.9] to allow discovery of security gateways in the signalling path
between communicating H.323 entities, in order to preserve signalling integrity
and privacy.
that may accelerate the adoption of VoIP in corporate environments and resolve
an issue that has slowed down the adoption of videoconferencing have been
completed by ITU-T.
The standards from ITU-T�s multimedia Study Group (Study Group 16)
provide a robust and easy to implement solution that will allow any H.323 based
system communicating on an IP network to more easily communicate across the
boundary imposed by NAT or firewalls (FW).
Videoconferencing and VoIP have long been plagued with problems when trying to
work across network address translation (NAT) and firewall boundaries. Despite
previous attempts to address the issue, no standardized way of dealing with the
problem has emerged until now.
Without the ITU solution many network managers and operators have found that
the only way to allow inbound VoIP calls in a firewall-protected environment is
to leave a permanent hole from the outside world, open a range of port numbers
for VoIP use, or locate devices outside of the firewall. Clearly, these
solutions violate even the most basic security policies.
Recommendation H.460.18 enables H.323 devices to exchange signalling and
establish calls, even when they are placed inside a private network behind
NAT/FW devices. These extensions, when used together with Recommendation
H.460.19, which defines NAT/FW traversal for media, enable upgraded H.323
endpoints to traverse NAT/FW installations with no additional equipment on the
customer premises. Alternatively, the H.460.18 and H.460.19 functionality may
be implemented in a proxy server, so that unmodified H.323 endpoints can also
benefit from it.
Work on the related Recommendation H.248.37 was also finished at the Study
Group meeting. Session border controllers (SBCs) are becoming an important part
of the Internet infrastructure, and some SBCs are being split into media
gateway controller (MGC) and media gateway (MG) components. One important
function of a SBC is to perform network address and port translation (NAPT).
H.248.37 allows the MGC to instruct a MG to latch to an address provided by an
incoming Internet Protocol (IP) application data stream, rather than the
address provided by the call/bearer control. This enables the MG to open a
pinhole for data flow, and hence allow connections to be established.
As well as these ITU-T Recommendations, Study Group 16 will shortly publish two
technical papers on the topic: The Requirements for Network Address
Translator and Firewall Traversal of H.323 Multimedia Systems and
Firewall and NAT traversal Problems in H.323 Systems.
conjunction with ISO/IEC�s Joint Picture Experts Group (JPEG), ITU-T�s Study Group 16
hosted a workshop
on Video and Image Coding and Applications (VICA) at ITU headquarters in
Geneva, 22 to 23 July.
Key experts joined users to review the development, assessment and application
of video and image coding and to discuss and start work on an action plan and a
roadmap for VICA standardization.
Introducing the workshop, Houlin Zhao, director of TSB, emphasized the
importance of video and image compression not only from a telecommunication
perspective, but also for consumers. He highlighted ITU-T�s extensive and
constructive partnerships with both MPEG, and ISO/IEC�s Joint Photographic
Experts Group (JPEG), which have achieved practical and innovative results. He
also highlighted the importance of the work from universities in the field.
The workshop introduced topics including the history and challenges of video
and image compression up to the development of ITU-T Recommendation H.264, and
of the JPEG-2000 family of standards. It looked at how these standards will be
applied to current and future technologies surrounding television, computers,
videoconferencing, home networking and mobile phones, and how VICA standards
are affected by the evolution of multimedia services and applications.
Presentations also stimulated discussion on how standards work in the field,
including how next generation networks (NGN) can support the development of
so-called ubiquitous networks � any device, anytime, anywhere. Current work on
home network environments was also taken into account.
Following the event, Study Group 16 met from 26 July to 5 August and further
discussed the results of the workshop in order to continue to develop standards
that will improve the quality of service and ubiquity of telecommunication
technologies and facilitate the global dissemination of multimedia content.
hosted the 36th JPEG Meeting, Geneva
July 18-22. The Joint Picture Experts Group (JPEG), formed many years ago by
both ITU-T Study
Group 16 and ISO/IEC JTC1 SG 29, is best known for its JPEG and JPEG-2000
image compression standards.
In ITU-T, Study Group 16 is home to all media coding work, such as the H-Series
of Recommendations, and includes work done together with ISO/IEC's JPEG, and
JPEG-2000 groups in image compression, as well as work done with MPEG in
developing video compression standards such as H.264. ISO/IEC JTC1 SG 29 is the
focal point in ISO/IEC JTC1 for image, video and audio compression standards.
The meeting surveyed the progress of technologies broached in the previous JPEG
meeting, held in Lisbon
in March 2005, including image security in JPEG-2000 which is being addressed
by JPEG�s JPSEC ad hoc group. The group is developing a standard that will
enable protected images to retain JPEG-2000 system features, such as
scalability. This new feature within JPEG images will allow international
distribution of digital images containing encrypted content, while still
retaining the ability to adaptively deliver content for a wide variety of
devices with varying display capabilities.
The meeting also followed up on JPEG�s Digital Cinema ad hoc group and its
advances in developing profiles for JPEG-2000 digital cinema applications. The
Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) organization has adopted JPEG-2000 for future
distribution of digital movies to theatres. JPEG is working closely with the
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) to standardize
aspects of this future architecture.
The Video and Image Coding and Applications (VICA) workshop, 22-23
July 2005, which followed the ITU-T-hosted JPEG meeting, aimed to build upon
the presence of JPEG and ITU-T SG 16 experts (who met July 26 - August 5 this
year). The workshop reviewed existing video and image compression standards,
their current applications, and future directions in the field. See related news
for more details on the workshop.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Thank you. The intake manifold is not plastic... but I like your idea and will spray around the hoses and manifold.. I'll let you know.
no problem, i had a dodge neon do the exact same thing as your stealth is doing and the manifold, which happened to be plastic was cracked.
Another thing to consider... yesterday I failed emissions big time. Now, the idle problem has been going on for more than a year. In other words, last year I passed emissions with flying colors while the idle problem was still occuring. This year, High Speed HC registered 827 and idle HC was 415. Not sure these are related.. but if we're talking about potential air flow sensor... maybe that's related?? Where is the Air flow sensor?
Nope. Two days ... same results. No good. I'm at a lose.
does it still idle normal with the air duct off?
Yes. In fact, now I've determined that it will idle normal if I put the air duct back on and unplug the air flow sensor connector. I took that box out, replaced the air filter and used some air sensor cleaner on the gridwork... it looked very clean when I started and still did when I reinstalled. It didn't help. As soon as I plug it in, the engine idle increases again. It must be sending signal because it definately doesn't run right with it off.... it idles ok but stumbles and misses when you rev it up... also check engine comes on .. Checked on a replacement just for the heck of it.. 330 bucks from checker.. I wouldn't want to do that unless I could test this one and determine it was bad for sure.. Any ideas?

Americans have never been so social online, yet neighbors largely remain strangers.
While most U.S. residents are members of a social-media service, only 2% of their friends on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere live within a few blocks, according to a Pew Research Center study.
Nextdoor, a private social network for neighborhoods, intends to change that and reshape the social-media landscape in the process. This week, it raised $18.6 million in funding from Benchmark Capital, DAG Ventures, Greylock Partners and other investors, lifting its market valuation of about $100 million.
"We want to bring a sense of community to neighborhoods," says Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia. "America has lost that, and technology can facilitate this."
Think of Nextdoor as amalgam of a community newsletter/neighborhood watch against crime/classified ads/block party. Mike Skehan, a Nextdoor member in Lummi Island, Wash., said Nextdoor was integral in finding a wayward dog named Willie in the dead of winter in November.
Since Nextdoor opened its digital doors in October, it has amassed 3,710 neighborhoods in 48 states, and is doubling in size every two months. More than 60% of its members are women.
The site requires users to verify their home address with a credit card number. Though the 30-person company has no revenue, it may eventually run ads for local services. Tolia considers his company in competition with Yahoo Groups and Craigslist -- not fellow start-ups Neighborland and Home Elephant, which he says are positioned differently in the market.

EXCLUSIVE: Andre Holland (42), Juliet Rylance (Sinister), Eve Hewson (Enough Said) and Michael Angarano (Empire State) are set to co-star opposite Clive Owen in Cinemax's 10-part series The Knick, directed by Steven Soderbergh. Oscar winner Soderbergh is set to direct all 10 episodes of the project, written by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler. Set in downtown New York in 1900, The Knick centers on Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses and staff who push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics. Holland, repped by Paradigm and Brookside Artist Management, will play Algernon, a gifted, black Harvard-trained surgeon who fights for respect in the hospital while trying to navigate his way through the racially charged turn-of-the-century NYC. Rylance will play Cornelia, a driving force whose passionate social work at The Knick will always play second fiddle to her wealthy father's philanthropy toward it. Hewson will play Lucy, a young, naive nurse from the South who, like tens-of-thousands of others, has come to New York for adventure and finds more of it than she ever thought she would. Angarano will play Dr. Bertram "Bertie" Chickering Jr., an eager surgeon-in-training who gives up the chance to practice uptown in a wealthy hospital, for the romance and excitement of learning from a groundbreaking surgeon in the chaotic, downtown world of The Knick. Production is set to begin in New York in late September. Amiel, Begler, Soderbergh, Owen, Michael Sugar and Gregory Jacobs executive produce.

Rarely did we sell a Facelift Without Surgery mask to a man. Even more seldom were moisturizer sales to men. But in the last year, sales to men have exploded
Tampa, FL USA (PRWEB) August 03, 2012
Perhaps Liberty Health Network, LLC's (LHN's) male customers were driven by the results they saw in their female counterparts use of anti aging skin care. Or maybe men just want to look good too. Whatever the reason, the sales of anti aging products such as the Beau Visage Facelift Without Surgery or the new Beau Visage Youth Renewal Moisturizer set records in July.
"We couldn't have done it without male customers," says LHN Chief Operating officer Russell Bly. "Three years ago, sales to men accounted for only a very small percentage of sales in our facial skin care products. Rarely did we sell a Facelift Without Surgery mask to a man. Even more seldom were moisturizer sales to men. But in the last year, sales to men have exploded," Bly said.
