Is there a transitive verb, in common use, which means 'deform via a homotopy'? I used to think 'homotope' was the answer, but it produces surprisingly few relevant matches on Google, so now I have my doubts. I want to be able to say things like "By Lemma 17 we can homotope the k-cells (rel boundary) into the subspace Y". I am well aware that I could rearrange the sentence to say something like "...there is a homotopy such that...", but that's not what I want to do. I want a simple, one-word verb with this meaning. I suppose 'deform' might work, but it's not as specific as I would like.
Another form of this question: Does the use of 'homotope' in the sample sentence of the previous paragraph sound strange? Sound standard and idiomatic?

What is the cardinality of the set $$A=\{ P| P\ \text{is a countable partition of the reals} \}$$ ? I am searching on this for a while. I think the cardinality is $2^w$ where $w$ is the cardinality of $\mathbb{N}$. Clearly $|A|\geq |\mathbb{R}|=2^w$, but I cannot prove the other direction. I tried (but did not succeed)to construct an injection $A \rightarrow C$ for some set $C$ with cardinality equal to $2^w$.
I think it's not very hard. A countable partition of reals can be seen as just a function from the reals into natural numbers, up to a permutation of the naturals. So we have $$\lvert \mathbf N^{\mathbf R}\rvert=\aleph_0^{2^{\aleph_0}}=2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$$ (because $\aleph_0\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ we can do the last substitution)
On the other hand, there are only $\aleph_0^{\aleph_0}=\mathfrak c<2^{\mathfrak c}$ permutations of natural numbers, so there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ equivalence classes of functions from reals to naturals under the relation of equivalence up to a permutation of naturals (because each has at most $\mathfrak c$ elements), which are precisely correspondent to the countable partitions of reals.
What is a countable partition? It means that we have some function from $\mathbb R$ into $\mathbb N$ and every part in the partition is the fiber of such function. However counting like this we count many partitions several times, for example take a partition into two parts, then we can see it as a function whose range is $\{0,1\}$ or $\{2,3\}$ or any other pair of numbers.
However note that there are exactly $2^{\aleph_0}$ many ways to re-order the natural numbers therefore at most continuum many functions generate the same partition.
So we have $\aleph_0^{2^{\aleph_0}}=2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ many functions and each is equivalent to at most $2^{\aleph_0}$ many of them. Therefore there are $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ many partitions.
Why can't there be another number? Well, we denote by $\frak p$ the cardinality of all countable partitions, then we have that $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}=2^{\aleph_0}\cdot\frak p$, by the general argument appearing in Does $k+\aleph_0=\mathfrak{c}$ imply $k=\mathfrak{c}$ without the Axiom of Choice? we have that $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}=\frak p$.
Hint: how many subsets does $\mathbb R$ have? Can't (almost) all of them be part of a partition?

1. Bielema On Allen
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said quarterback Brandon Allen remains a "game-time decision" Saturday, but still hasn't received "100 percent assurance" from team doctors that the sophomore is ready to play after last week's shoulder injury.
Allen participated in Thursday's practice on a limited basis by taking snaps from under center and in the shotgun, according to Bielema. But he did not throw any passes during Arkansas' final tune-up before heading to Rutgers.
"You guys know the proponent I am for player safety," Bielema said. "We won't put him on the field unless they feel that he can protect himself in a normal game situation and then obviously he's got to feel good enough to go in there as well. The thing that's been fun is all week I think he's gotten significantly better every day. There's nobody that's more engaged and more who wants to play more than him."
Bielema said the sophomore did get out of the sling he had been wearing since Saturday on Tuesday or Wednesday. Allen will travel with the team when it leaves for New Jersey today, too. But signs continue to point to backup AJ Derby starting under center in place of Allen when the Razorbacks play Rutgers.
"To see (Allen) out bopping around out there now and taking snaps (Thursday) - it makes you feel good," Bielema said. "But on the same account you've got to understand exactly where he's at and he hasn't gotten 100 percent assurance yet from the doctors that we can put him in there."
Rutgers sounds much more confident about its starting quarterback, Gary Nova, for Saturday's game. Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said Wednesday he was "very optimistic" Nova would be back from the concussion that knocked him out of last week's game and told the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger his thoughts hadn't changed Thursday.
If Allen can't play, Derby, Austin Allen, Brian Buehner and Damon Mitchell would fill out the quarterback depth chart. Bielema said Derby and Austin Allen have divided repetitions in practice this week with Brandon Allen unable to throw passes.
"I would say that we had a little bit more even reps than we would have if it was a normal week, just because we wanted to get Austin going a little bit as well in case BA doesn't play," Bielema said. "I thought (Derby has) handled it very well. He threw the ball around extremely well (Thursday). Thursday we have a scripted practice, kind of like a game-like situation and he actually kind of got a little bit more in rhythm there. I think from the time he first entered the game on Saturday to where he is today, it's been a very, very good blessing to have all this time to prepare him."
2. Secondary's Second Chance
The Arkansas secondary was scorched by Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova and his receivers last season. The Scarlet Knights piled up 397 passing yards and five touchdowns, rolling to a 35-26 win against the Razorbacks.
Cornerback Tevin Mitchel didn't play in the loss because of the head and neck injury he suffered two weeks earlier against Louisiana-Monroe. But the junior said Arkansas' defensive backs don't plan to let a repeat performance happen Saturday.
"It hurt me, even though I wasn't out here, that they came in our house and they beat us," Mitchel said. "This is a new year. That's in the past. Now we have to go in their house and beat them."
Brandon Coleman leads Rutgers' receivers with 12 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He also presents a big problem because of his 6-foot-6, 220-pound frame. But Mitchel said he'll be prepared for the challenge.
"We've got to have the mentality where you shouldn't care the size of any receiver," Mitchel said. "Just go up and do what you have to do. Do what you're coached to do."
3. Run Blitz Ready
Southern Miss frustrated Arkansas with a variety of run blitzes during last week's win, providing the biggest test to the Razorbacks ground game so far this season.
Center Travis Swanson said it should be a good thing, though, because Rutgers has a "striking resemblance" to Southern Miss defensively. At the very least, Arkansas will have a good feel for the type of challenge the Scarlet Knights present this week as the Razorbacks try to continue their run-game success Saturday.
"I think we really lucked out scheduling those two games back-to-back," Swanson said. "Obviously we have a lot of carryover for this week, but we're going to learn from the mistakes that we made this past week and fix them for this week."
4. Extra Points
Bielema said TE Hunter Henry suffered a leg injury against Samford, which played a role in the freshman going without a catch against Southern Miss last week. He believes Henry, who is the team's third-leading receiver, will be "more effective" Saturday. … Bielema said WR Javontee Herndon has been a "one-man show" through three games. But he's hopeful Arkansas can get more of its receivers involved at Rutgers. That includes Keon Hatcher, who has been healthy this week after being slowed by a preseason hamstring injury. … CB Jared Collins, who suffered a head injury against Southern Miss, practiced "a little bit" Wednesday and all of Thursday, according to Bielema. It's not known if Collins will be available against Rutgers. … Bielema said Arkansas will bring 72 players to New Jersey for Saturday's game. The Razorbacks dressed only 70 players for its first three games, but Bielema said Arkansas is "taking a couple extra just because we're that much more healthy."

Grab your girlfriends and use these easy tips to organize a home canning party.
For Marisa McClellan, a young food writer and teacher from Philadelphia, home canning is an all-consuming passion.
"Food preservation is making a comeback," notes Marisa, adding that cooks of all ages are interested in capturing fresh flavors and doing it affordably. "My goal is to help people let go of their fears about canning by making it accessible and fun."
Raised amid Oregon's abundance, Marisa grew up helping her mother transform wild berries and backyard apples into jams and sauces. "Years later, in college, I picked up a nifty old pint-size Ball jar with a wire clamp closure and started a jar collection," she says. "I used them to hold everything from sugar to leftovers. They even doubled as drinking glasses.
"Then, five years ago, I went blueberry picking with friends and came home with 10 pounds of fruit and a craving for jam. I got right back to using my jars for their intended purpose."
Now she fills hundreds of jars each season with pickled vegetables, salsa, soup stock, whole tomatoes and more.
With a master's degree in writing, Marisa extended her kitchen addiction to her keyboard two years ago, launching a blog Food in Jars. Aiming to open more eyes to the world of preserving, she shares personal home canning adventures, food photos, technique tutorials and recipes for a potpourri of canned goods.
"My readers are from all walks of life, from the city and country alike," she says. "Some are longtime home canners excited to find kindred spirits. Others are novices ready to roll up their sleeves. They share an appreciation for how wonderful home-canned food tastes and the fact they know exactly what went into it, because they put it there."
"Canning parties are a blast, and a great way to tackle a good deal of preserving," she says. "Everyone leaves the party with a feeling of accomplishment. You take home something you've made, and knowledge that will help you to do more of it in the future."
Tips from the Washington State Fruit Commission and the Northwest Cherry Growers for throwing your own home canning party:
- Pick out your produce and canning recipes. When you combine prep work and processing time, a canning recipe can take an hour or more to complete. Limit your party to three canning recipes. Plan to make a full batch, but don't double it. Altering a recipe's quantities and times may affect the quality and safety of the final product.
- Gather your tools. Have these basics on hand (or assign guests to bring them): jars, lids and rings; heavy-bottomed cooking pots; a roomy stockpot to use as a water-bath canner; sharp knives and a grater; stirring spoons and ladles; measuring cups and spoons; jar grabbers; a funnel; clean towels; and hot pads.
- Send invitations. Mail invitations to guests about three weeks ahead. Include how much and what type of produce, other ingredients or canning supplies to bring. Also tuck in the recipes you'll use as a preview.
- Plan some snacks. Give home canning party guests something to nibble and sip. Incorporate fruits you'll be using into beverages, and pick up breads, meats and cheeses to serve.
- Set up stations. Clear off counters and tabletops to make ample room for work stations to sanitize equipment, prep produce, fill jars and seal, boil and cool your finished batch. Assign guests to each station and have only one canning recipe going at a time.
- Jam out! Karaoke with your canning? Sure! Stir some of these tunes into a party playlist: Cherry, Cherry (Neil Diamond), Blueberry Hill (Chubby Checker), I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Marvin Gaye) and Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles).
- Label your labors. "Mystery jars" collect dust in the pantry, so clearly label your goods with contents and canning date. With printed labels, pens, decorative ribbons and fabric on hand, guests can create personalized wrappings for cooled jars.

David Lensing uses a grinder to remove the powdercoating from the roll bars where the bars will be mounted.Removing paint and/or powdercoating is an important step to ensure a strong weld. Once the grinding is complete, you should wipe the area down with a clean cloth and solvent to ensure a dirt-free surface.Bob Wilberg, a 16-time short-track champion and dual division 2007 Madison Speedway track champion, helps out by ensuring that the net properly fits the opening.You will want to test-fit the top bar and mounts first. Remember, measure twice and cut once, you'll want to leave a 11/44- to 11/42-inch float at the non-latch end to ensure there is plenty of rod going through the mount.
Once you have the top rod welded in place, hang the net and then thread the other rod through the bottom part of the net. Repeat the test-fitting steps you performed for the top mounts, pulling the net extremely tight in the process.If the net has too much slack in it, even if it is miniscule, you may have to reposition it, as Wilberg points out. That is why you tack first and check the taughtness before laying down the final weld.

Iran Talks Are Off to a Rocky Start
ALMATY, Kazakhstan—The latest negotiations over Iran's nuclear program hit a rocky start, as Western diplomats dismissed Iranian offers as lacking serious content and Iran—highlighting the trust gap—painted a contrasting picture.
Western diplomats were downbeat late Friday after five hours of talks, but said there was time for progress on Saturday, when the current round was expected to conclude.
Negotiations have proceeded off and on for a decade between Iran and the international community. The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany, known as the P5+1, seeks to address concerns that Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing nuclear weapons, which Tehran denies.
On Friday, the two sides had a "long and substantial discussion on the issues but we remain a long way apart on the substance," a Western diplomat involved in the talks said. Iran held bilateral discussions with several P5+1 countries Friday evening, including the U.K., Germany and Russia, but not the U.S., diplomats said.
A stalemate between the two sides could heighten tensions at a time when the U.S. and its allies are already struggling with nuclear threats from North Korea. It could also lead Israel to step up its warnings about how much time is left for diplomacy.
Western diplomats had tempered expectations ahead of the meeting in Almaty, while analysts said political instability in Iran, where presidential elections are set for June, narrowed the chances of a breakthrough.
Going into Friday's round, European Union foreign-policy chief Catherine Ashton and other top Western officials placed the onus on Iran, saying it must now respond to a February proposal by the P5+1. That proposal offered to relax sanctions if Tehran scales back specified nuclear activities, in what the group framed as an effort to reach an interim confidence-building agreement.
A P5+1 diplomat said late Friday that Iran didn't present a serious plan on the actions the West said it needed to take.
Iran's deputy nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri sought to give a more upbeat impression in two brief appearances before reporters. In the first, he said Iran's chief negotiator Saeed Jalili, presented "specific plans and proposals" that he said dealt with the final outcome of talks, not just confidence-building.
He later insisted Iran had presented a "practical method to implement" the broad ideas Tehran presented at talks in Moscow in June 2012. He said Mr. Jalili spent the afternoon session answering questions on the proposals in detail.
What P5+1 Wants
Negotiators are offering to relax sanctions if Iran:
- Stops enriching uranium to 19.75% purity, considered a technical step away from weapons grade.
- Stops activities at its underground site of Fordow. Previously, Iran was asked to close the site.
- Ships abroad most, though no longer all, of its stockpile of 20% enriched uranium.
- Allows broader International Atomic Energy Agency inspections.
But coordinated statements by two Western officials cast doubt on Mr. Bagheri's description of events. "We are somewhat puzzled by the Iranians' characterization of what they presented at this morning's plenary. There has not yet been a clear and concrete response to" the P5+1's February offer, they said.
One of the diplomats said the Iranian presentation was "mainly a reworking" of Iran's Moscow offer, which Western diplomats said at the time wasn't a credible plan. "There were some interesting but not fully explained general comments on our ideas."
At the heart of the P5+1's February proposal was the promise to lift sanctions on gold and precious metal trading and on Iran's petrochemicals sector in exchange for Tehran suspending its enrichment of uranium is near 20% purity, considered close to weapons grade.
Iran would also have to ship most of its stockpile of higher-enriched uranium out of the country, stop activities at its underground Fordow nuclear site and allow broader inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
On Thursday, ahead of the talks, Mr. Jalili said progress would depend on a public recognition by the P5+1 that Iran has a right to enrich uranium. Mr. Jalili repeatedly pressed the issue Friday, a diplomat said.
However, on Friday morning, soon after the talks started, Ms. Ashton's spokesman rejected the demand. "This sort of semantic question about recognizing the right to do XYZ—that is not what we are here for," said the spokesman, Michael Mann. "We are here to talk about the substantive situation on the ground."
As a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, most experts believe Iran has a right to enrich uranium for a peaceful nuclear program. But after hiding an enrichment program for years in breach of the treaty, the Security Council has passed half a dozen resolutions since 2006 demanding Tehran suspends its enrichment of uranium until it proves its nuclear activities are for civilian purposes.
Western officials have avoided casting the Almaty negotiations as a last hope for talks. Last month, President Barack Obama said he believes Iran is over a year from developing nuclear weapons. That gives space for the talks to resume after June's Iranian elections.

At approximately 10:00 PM on Friday, May 4th, the first ever EF 5 tornado left a path of destruction through Greensbug in south-central Kansas. This tornado stayed on the ground for 22 miles and was 1.5 miles wide at one point. When all was said and done, over 75% of the town was destroyed, 9 people lost their lives, and dozens were injured. Our storm chaser Darin Brunin was in Greensburg when the storm hit and compered the scene in Greensburg to the scene in the movie Twister when the town of Wakita was destroyed. An EF 5 tornado means that winds were in excess of 200 MPH. The last tornado to have winds in excess of 200 MPH was the infamous F5 tornado the rolled across Moore, OK and Oklahoma City in May of 1999. To put a little perspective on this, a category 5 hurricane has winds of 150 MPH. This storm will certainly go down in the history books.
Over the years, we have become familiar with the F scale, or Fujita Scale. So, whats the deal with this new EF scale and why did it change?
The new EF Scale, or Enhanced Fujita scale, is an upgrade on the old F scale. Remember, that there is no way to accurately measure the winds in a tornado, thus we do not measure tornadoes based on how fast the winds are blowing. We measure them based on how much damage a tornado does. The old F scale had been around for over 50 years, and in that time the construction of buildings has changed. So in order to accurately classify tornadoes, new criteria was needed.
Enter the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The scale still has six levels, EF 0 through EF 5. Here is a chart of the new EF Scale and the approximate wind speeds.
RATING: Approx. Wind Speed
A second advantage that the Enhanced Fujita Scale has over the old F Scale is that it takes into account damage to vegetation. In the past if a tornado ripped across a cow pasture it may have only been rated a F1 because it didn't cause any damage. While if this tornado had gone through a town or city it may have caused damage and been a F3. With the EF scale a tornado should have the same rating no matter where it tracks.
Again, we can not measure the wind speeds in a tornado and can only approximate how fast winds need to blow to cause certain damage. The new EF scale is simply an improvement on the old F scale. It allows us to better classify these storms and that will ultimately lead to better and more accurate research and will help improve the warnings of tornadoes.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Professor George Thomas, Double Jeopardy and Miranda Warning Expert, to Be Honored by Alumni Association
The Rutgers School of Law–Newark Alumni Association will present its 2012 Distinguished Service Award to George C. Thomas III, Board of Governors Professor of Law and Judge Alexander P. Waugh, Sr. Distinguished Scholar. Professor Thomas will be honored at a cocktail reception at the law school on Tuesday, April 24, 2012.

I use latex for cygwin, installed by the cygwin setup GUI. How can I install other missing package? For example i haven't tikz... I've to manually install it or there is a better solution?
If you want LATEX in Cygwin so you can use LINUX Bash Script and commands line you may choose to install a complete version of for example Miktex and Texniccenter in Windows and then create a symbolic link to the .exe files you need to compile (e.g. latex.exe, pdflatex.exe, ...) your .tex file from Cygwin Bash shell:
I have not used Cygwin for a long time but the last time I checked the default TeX installation was still teTeX. I do not use tikz so I do not know if it was part of teTeX. In any case if you really want you could try to install TeXLive. In theory that should not be a problem but in practice that is another story. You can definitely use TeXLive in Cygwin from live USB or CD. The real question for me is why do you need Cygwin to use tikz on your Windows machine when you have native MiKTeX package of TeX and friends for Windows as well as TeXLive which in spite of being more geared towards Unix and Unix like system can be easily installed natively? I am guessing that teTeX is needed just as a dependency for some other Cygwin packages which are not natively available for Windows. Now historically speaking installing TeX on Windows for example 10 years ago (before ProTeXt MiKTeX installer) was not actually trivial and Cygwin route was the simplest one.

Often recipes ask for caramelised onions. What are some good techniques for cooking them this way, as it seems to take a while, and often even if they are on a low heat they can brown a bit too much if they are not stirred continually.
Low and slow is the only way to go, I'm afraid. You can add some broth and simmer them down (as opposed to just cooking them in oil) but make sure you add little enough that it will all evaporate...Don't want to be pouring off flavor.
In addition to what everyone else has said, you may want to add some salt as the onions caramelize. The salt will help draw out the sugars, and allow them to caramelize more.
Some techniques I've seen also suggest a little sugar to help the caramelizing process... but personally I think that's cheating. That's up to you though.
I think you've answered your own question. Low & slow, with constant stiring. To hot & fast will burn the sugars you are attempting to bring out of the onion.
I don't believe there are alternatives to doing this. But maybe someone will correct me.
In a very low effort way you can do it with a crock pot. Put in 2-4oz of butter depening on crock pot size and as many onions as the crock pot will hold. Set it on low. Come back 8 hrs later.
I generally use butter, EarthBalance, or extra virgin olive oil, and lots of time. If I'm in a rush I will sometimes turn the heat up a little, but the that nearly always causes an inconsistent or lower quality result.
Also I find it helpful to separate them onions early in the process. Generally we slice them into rings before cooking. I separate the disks as I place them in the pan. I've found that while this increases the space they require for cooking, it greatly improves the quality of the results (again supports even cooking).
Take a warm pan, add oil, add onions. The higher the temperature of the pan, to about medium levels, the more frequently the onions need to be stirred in order to not burn them. Lower temperatures take longer to produce the caramelization but mostly give a more uniform result, as one can keep the onions on the heat longer. You'll need to find out what heat works best for you by experimenting a bit. Also different oils make for different flavors, I prefer x virgin olive oil.

Like many CU-Boulder students, Andrea Tice yearns to make a difference in the world. As an undergraduate in the Leadership Residential Academic Program (RAP) Tice is learning specific skills that will help turn her dream into reality.
A senior in psychology and ethnic studies, Tice is in her fourth year in the Ethnic Living and Learning Community Leadership Studies Program (ELLC), which is one of two study programs offered through the Leadership RAP. She serves as a classroom assistant helping other freshmen in the RAP to find their individual paths to leadership.
"We all want to change the world," said Tice. "I love this program so much that I wanted to help incoming freshmen experience the same things I did when I was a freshman, to open their minds to other perspectives in the world."
The Leadership RAP at Williams Village features an interdisciplinary approach to the study and practice of leadership. First-year students are prepared for leadership roles in a global and multicultural setting through a rigorous curriculum that fosters a lasting commitment to the betterment of society. Students have experiences that change the way they view themselves and society.
In addition to the learning opportunities offered by participating in the Leadership RAP, students choose between two leadership study programs. ELLC prepares students for leadership roles in local and global settings with a focus on cultural competency and strengthening communities. The Chancellor's Leadership Studies Program (CLSP) provides students with a foundation in leadership with an emphasis on social action and collective change. The curriculum teaches students the ways in which institutions and communities solve problems and the different leadership styles needed to work effectively in each setting.
Critical thinking is fundamental to leadership competency; leaders must be skillful at collecting information and making judgments. In addition to coursework, students are expected to perform some type of service to the campus or Boulder community. Volunteering or participating in a civic project is an important facet of leadership development.
Students completing the four-year leadership program can earn a Study and Practice of Leadership certificate, which is similar to an academic minor.
"Leadership Certificate students often comment about how their cross-cultural, social justice-based leadership experiences influence all of the courses they take, and how they see and interact in the world," said Leadership RAP Director Ann Scarritt. "Some recent graduates are working for Teach for America, city and the federal government—continuing their commitment to a more just and equitable world beyond a university experience."
Despite having an overall positive experience during his freshman year in CLSP, Ethan Larson saw an opportunity to improve one area of the program. Larson wanted more hands-on activities in the practicum section. When he voiced his concerns to one of the faculty leaders, Larson was encouraged to make those changes.
Taking that challenge to heart, Larson, a sophomore in sociology and communication, signed up to be a peer mentor in CLSP the following year. Joining forces with the two other peer mentors, they added a volunteer service requirement to the practicum. Once a week, CLSP students volunteer with the I Have a Dream Foundation to tutor and mentor at risk youth at Columbine Elementary School and Boulder High School.
Larson credits the Leadership RAP and CLSP with opening his eyes to the struggles of people he had been overlooking.
"I was always just focused on myself," said Larson. "But I've learned that you have to be aware of what's going on around you to become an effective leader. Getting a certificate in leadership will set me apart in my job search after graduation."
In early August, the Leadership RAP will move from Williams Village to Kittredge Central.

I just discovered that I couldn't add more than 4 layouts for my keyboard. Googling revealed that it was a universal limit (at least for GNU/Linux) and the only way(s) to get around it was to use some hackish way with scripts. Is there really a technical reason behind this? If yes, what is it?
Quoting Peter Hutterer (Red Hat employee working on X.Org):
Why we don't have a hack above this layer - I don't know... this must be the lamest limitation ever. :D
I frequently write in English, German, Swedish and Chinese. This is four, but I am learning Russian as well and would appreciate the extra toggle via the GUI. Scripts is a workable resolution in the meantime:
One might note that with Russian, one has the option of either the 'standard' Russian keyboard layout, or a much more convenient (for those of us learning) phonetic layout paired to QWERTY.
Also, many of us use some form of Dvorak, which also takes a position.
Hence, my computer looks like this:
Keyboard layouts:
USA Dvorak (programmer) Swedish German Russian Russian phonetic
and there is an additional keyboard icon with an ibus toggle for Chinese Pinyin.
The protocol sets aside two bits for keyboard switching. This is two more than many people need. Most of the users I have seen switching keyboard layouts use two; a local layout and and international layout. The international layout usually handles composition of all require keys. This leaves one excess bit. I have seen users with three layouts, but usually one is never used.
I would be interested in what you are doing that requires more than four layouts, and how you work with constantly changing keymapping. I find it difficult to get users used to two layouts, even when it solved problems they have with internationalization.

When we were dealing with baby foods, all the books and experts talked about how you could make your own baby food at home easily, except carrots. They all just said "don't even try", some even had a warning that "severe reactions" would occur, and that it was a risk to the baby to feed them home made carrot baby food. Well I've seen the projectile vomit and horrid diapers that result from trying to feed a baby homemade carrot baby food, so there is clearly something to be said for it. But what's so hard about carrots specifically? What are the big companies able to do that we can't do at home? Can anyone explain this at the food science level?
According to http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/nitratearticle.htm, the problem is with nitrate levels in carrots. If that's true, the same problem will occur with fresh spinach.
As to what the food industry does differently: IIRC, nitrate problems tend to get worse when cooked meals spend time at room temperature. Bacteria from the air will metabolize the nitrate into nitrite, which is poisonous at higher concentrations. This only occurs when (naturally occuring) bacteria are present, at 20-40 degrees celsius. In te food industry, the cooking process kills the bacteria, and the food is packaged airtight while the product is still hot. You can't do that at home.

TEMPLE (January 24, 2013)—The Temple police department's SWAT team was dispatched to a home late Thursday afternoon in the 4000 block of Wagon Trail after the resident arrived home and heard noises in the attic.
The SWAT team was requested after the man told officers he had at least one firearm in the house.
Team members searched the house and found no evidence of a break-in.
"Fortunately, nothing was disturbed, no sign of forced entry, and no one was in the house," Temple police spokesman Christopher Wilcox said.

In the 10.10 release, Unity on the netbook edition used ConnMan. As Unity is now moving to the desktop for 11.04, will that mean that ConnMan will replace NetworkManager on the default Ubuntu desktop as well?
No; the plan seems to be to enhance indicator-network / patch NM to use NM as a backend.
There's no blueprint yet, but the content of the Gobby document from UDS is here.
See Mark's answer for details.
The systray (old notification area) will go away in 11.04. NetworkManager is the most critical piece that still uses it. We have three options:
The Ubuntu Platform team is working on the NM-applet-indicator option, and it's their decision which approach is taken in the final release.
I second that, there is no plan to make the new connman-based network menu the default for Natty.
There are many reasons why indicator-network wasn't made default in the Natty release:
1) Doesn't support all encryption options (you already mentioned that in your question).
2) Hasn't been tested heavily (its a new project).
3) Ubuntu has been using nm-applet since quite some time, and hence it was much better for them to just port it to the indicator rather than start from scratch.
Probably indicator-network will become default in a future release of Ubuntu after it meets all of the above points. Good things take time to come by™.
system - preference -startup applications then a dialouge box will be opened search for network manager and select it and click on edit button
save it next restart then you should see network manager icon on your desktop
please send your comments thank you enjoy

I just started to create a new web application. In the documentation, it is written that I have to prepare for the situation where users have disabled cookies. This is not the first time I have read this condition. Can anyone explain me why users want to disable cookies in their browsers?
Cookies have, historically, been a source of numerous security and privacy concerns.
For example, tracker cookies can be used to identify which websites you've visited and what activities you've done on them:
This is just one application. There are other ways to use tracker cookies, some of which allow all sorts of nasty attacks such as identity theft.
Another problem is cookie-stealing, which can be used to hijack insecure (i.e. non-HTTPS) sessions. Using an exploit (e.g. XSS) a page might manage to post another site's cookies back to itself, allowing an attacker to steal your session ID. Turning off cookies prevents this.
Due to these problems, users often disable cookies or block them on certain sites for increased privacy and security.
With tracking cookies, advertisers can track users across different websites and even across IP addresses (e.g. for laptop users). This has been going on since forever (literally since the beginning of advertising networks, like Google Adwords), but recently the media has been inciting the public against those cookies, blaming them as the root cause for privacy violation. It's gone so far that the EU passed something that is supposed to forbid unnecessary cookies without opt-in. Ironically, the Dutch government's website (here the law came into effect a few months ago) doesn't follow the law either.
These cookies are actually, partially, a cause of privacy intrustion. It makes you easy to track, but there are plenty other ways to tell one user from another. Also there is hardly any reason to block this kind of targeted advertising, it cuts both ways, but that's another subject and a hot debate.
Without cookies, you can hardly keep a user logged-in. Give the appropriate error when cookies turn out to be disabled ("You may not be able to log in, cookies are disabled in your browser, click here for more info."), and I think it's case closed. Most other websites like Facebook and Twitter also won't work without cookies anyway.
The most common reason is that they've done it accidentally and have no idea they've done it (see paragraph 4 below).
Second most common reason is privacy (paranoia?). Some people are anti-tracking at any expense. I tend to find they don't really understand what cookies are in this instance. More likely they just think "tracking is bad" and turn them off - without having any idea for instance, what the difference is between session cookies, 1st/3rd party cookies etc.
However more importantly, I do not believe it's realistic to account for the situation where a user has disabled cookies on anything but extremely basic websites. It's not possible to avoid using cookies (or an URL based equivalent) in anything other than a basic website with very little user-interaction other than following links to static content. You can forget about logins and shopping baskets, because to create those, you need at least a session or a cookie (and session tracking requires a cookie, or URL equivalent).
In 12 years as a website developer, the only people I've ever encountered who have disabled cookies, have it done it accidentally. With NO exceptions, this is because they've been in the settings screen of Internet Explorer and thought that pushing that security/privacy slider up to "High" has got to be better than "Medium". In all cases, they've put it back down to medium, once I've pointed out what effect it has and how many websites it breaks. Often the user has installed a second browser, believing their original browser is "broken" as no websites work with it. As such I believe it's important to tell users they have cookies disabled (using a suitable detection method) if you have a high traffic site.
You an avoid using cookies by storing a unique ID in the URL (.NET and other frameworks suppport this natively) but I believe this simply moves the problem to the URL - and paranoid users may be put off by a URL which is clearly tracking them. Be sure to ensure that if you come up with a homebrew method of doing the same thing, that any URL IDs are tied to the users IP address. If not, you will create an extremely easy method for session hijacking - as a user simply sending a link, will acquire the session state of the sending user.
The vast majority of major websites which require a login, or have a shopping cart function require cookies to work and I do not think it's sensible to try and work around this. You're probably talking of a tiny fraction of 1% of users who have cookies disabled. Ignore stats produced from automatic systems like WebTrends as these will include things like web-crawlers and bots which do not (and have no need to) support cookies, as this will give you a falsely high reading of the number of users who've disabled cookies. You're certainly talking more like 1 in 5000 rather than 1 in 10 users who've disabled cookies and actually still expect websites to work :)
Being "prepared" is not the same thing as making a fully functional login system that works without HTTP cookies.
Users may turn off HTTP cookies to avoid "being tracked"; in this case, you could think of using another approach for session management, like using a secret URL. Keeping the session ID in the URL has some security and usability merits, but also really serious security and usability issues, and this message is not recommending this approach. Because the question was not about the security of keeping the session ID in the URL, I do not want to discuss this (interesting) issue here.
The issue is not just technical, it is an acceptability issue: if the user voluntarily turn off cookies, you can bet he does not want to be tracked. Trying to get around the blocking of cookies (even "for his own good") is very likely to upset him.
Instead, you can explain users that only session cookies are needed for session management within your Web application, and that it is possible to automatically erase all cookies when the browser is closed.

Bafana Bafana vs the Central African Republic: more international soccer for Cape Town
Bafana Bafana plays in a World Cup qualifying match at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening.
That the national side is playing in Cape Town for the second time this year is good news for soccer fans, considering that it previously took the team almost three years to come back to the Mother City. Thousands of green and yellow-wearing fans are expected at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday to cheer on the national side.
And if all goes according to plan, we could very well see international clubs play at the Cape Town Stadium, as the city grows its reputation as a sports destination.
The Mayoral Committee member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, Grant Pascoe, says Capetonians should wear green and yellow to the game on Saturday, which kicks off at 20h15.
Tickets are available from Computicket, Shoprite Checkers and Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information centres at a cost of R50 or R100.
This fixture marks the first official step in Bafana's bid towards the World Cup. The upcoming game is expected to attract approximately 40 000 spectators.
South African currently ranks 60th among the world's soccer teams, and Central African Republic ranks 51st.
In January, the City of Cape Town hosted Bafana Bafana when the team played their last warm-up match ahead of the African Cup of Nations, against Norway. The two teams met in a friendly encounter, playing to a packed Cape Town Stadium.
Pascoe says there is also the chance that Cape Town may host more well-known international clubs in the coming months, as the city continues to grow its reputation as a leading sports destination. He recently travelled to London to meet representatives of three English Premier League clubs to discuss the possibility of the teams' training or pre-season tours taking place at the stadium.

Dresses That Remember When
The new printed frocks from Carolina Herrera are both postcard and love letter
IN SEARCH OF the perfect dress for this summer, Carolina Herrera looked to her past.
The designer is reissuing six prints from the last decade in four stretch-cotton styles in a capsule she calls the Archive Print Collection. The ladylike silhouettes are about as simple as Ms. Herrera gets, but that's all the better to shine a spotlight on the charming patterns, which range from beach chairs to painterly daisies on a sky-blue background.
Prints are what make a collection distinctive, said Ms. Herrera, who has been designing for three decades. "You see it and say, 'Oh, that's a Carolina Herrera,' " she added.
Many of Ms. Herrera's prints, including most in this capsule collection, are inspired by casual moments during her travels—think of them as very stylish snapshots. The clover print grew out of a trip to Austria, where she came across a tiny heart-shaped paperweight with a four-leaf clover inside. An elephant ride in India led to the elephant print (pictured above), while the idea for the beach chairs (pictured) struck her during one of her annual visits to the resort town Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
Then there are designs that come from her own flight of fancy. "I love radishes!" she said of the stylish print (pictured) featuring the root vegetable. Why over think it?
The eminently easy-to-wear dresses can be paired with a cardigan for work and all but beg to be invited to a garden party. Ms. Herrera hopes that women who are accustomed to wearing solid colors will consider these new frocks. "It's a very feminine instinct to change from one day to another and say, 'Now I love prints.' "
—Elizabeth Holmes

Each chapter covers a different type of cancer, first introducing the conventional medical understanding of that cancer including its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment according to staging and type. The chapter then covers that cancer from the perspective of Oriental medicine. Case studies illustrate the integration of treatment for each cancer type, raising important issues and considerations associated with specific cancers and treatments.

The above linked pages contain recipes for the ink used by most sofrim today, known as מי עפצים וקנקנתום -- oakgall juice and ferrous sulfate. This post, written by a very qualified sofer has a recipe.
The Sta"m Forum has a page with a well tested recipe for STA"M ink almost identical to the one in Kol Sofrim. I can't vouch for it because I buy ink, but the person who posted it is a professional who has written several Sifrei Torah.

GXT 3.0 Theme Viewer
Can we get a theme viewer example project similar to the Javascript one available here:
That would be extremely helpful when developing themes.
10 May 2012 10:01 AM #2
Thanks for the suggestion - we're working through some ideas on how to make building themes easier and we'll probably start with a page like that.
22 May 2012 2:02 AM #3
ThemeSelector in EXT-GWT 2.2.5
Hello, I'm also looking for a theme viewer, I noticed that a ThemeSelector class exits in EXT-GWT and we don't have the same in GXT 3.0
thank you in advance
7 Sep 2012 5:15 AM #4
a theme changer like the one in extjs is a must for an client API like GXT. I was very surprised this is not available yet as I'm migrating from EXT-GWT which is pretty old but still had that feature... I hope this is one of your priorities for th next release...
11 Sep 2012 10:39 PM #5
Right, theme viewer would be really for GXT...
12 Sep 2012 5:20 AM #6
Not being able to change the theme dynamically it's a major drawback for a client API....i really don't get how Sencha decided something like this...from what I've noticed things were "normal" in GXT 2...
Any chance to add this feature in the next release?
18 Sep 2012 2:52 PM #7
A runtime theme selector means that all css must be built to assume it will be removed later on - while this can make an application easily skinnable while it is running, we haven't found this to be a terribly common use case.
We didn't give up this feature for no good reason either - by leaving this out, our CSS selectors become simpler, and less CSS must be loaded into the page for it to work correctly. Both of these lead to better performance - each extra rule or complexity in each rule means that the page takes longer to update each time something changes. We've used GWT's ClientBundle and CssResource to ensure that our CSS class names never collide, which eliminates the need to namespace class names, and to ensure that CSS isn't loaded into the page before it is used, allowing the page to load more efficiently. Additionally, there is no need to load one full set of CSS and images, then to activate the theme and load yet another set.
That said, it is still certainly possible to devise a page that can switch between themes! The GXT Explorer has a module file that uses the default Blue theme, looking something like this (simplified slightly):
<module rename-to='explorer'> <inherits name='com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT' /> <inherits name='com.google.gwt.activity.Activity' /> <inherits name='com.google.gwt.place.Place' /> <inherits name="com.google.gwt.inject.Inject" /> <inherits name='com.sencha.gxt.chart.Chart' /> <inherits name="com.sencha.gwt.uibinder.UiBinder" />  <source path='client' /> <source path='shared' />  <inherits name='com.google.gwt.precompress.Precompress' /> <entry-point class='com.sencha.gxt.explorer.client.Explorer' /> </module>
<module rename-to='explorerGray'> <inherits name='com.sencha.gxt.explorer.Explorer'/> <inherits name='com.sencha.gxt.theme.gray.Gray'/> </module>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">   <title>Sencha GXT Explorer Demo - 3.0.1</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="explorer/reset.css" />

First of all thank you for sharing this solution.
If i got it right you are basically saying we should use multiple entry points for our gwt app and switch between them...? I guess this might work for a simple/small app, but I'm not sure how this will work for a more complex app, e.g. where users have to authenticate (on a login page) and only after would they reach the main app where one function would be to change the theme. If we would implement the way you're suggesting we would have to start fresh (new login) whenever a user changes a theme and also find a way to remember his theme choice before he logins (?).... so not really an option in our case.
We're now working on changing the Appearance pattern so it won't use CssResource. This way we will be able to change app style dynamically - see this thread: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...me-dynamically
We are making progress but it's lot of work involved. So I still think that not having a way to change the theme dynamically was a bad call when all things considered. You were mentioning performance issues but we had this working just fine in GWT-EXT. I agree that using CssResource and ClientBundle is more efficient but then again, when I compare pros and cons from my point of view not having this feature, themeChanger, (or a way to easily implement) is still a miss.
Don't get me wrong. We do like GXT and I still think it was a good choice for us but in a perfect world having a way to change the theme it's a must from my point of view.
24 Sep 2012 11:15 AM #9
There is one more thing you need to consider when really changing the theme at runtime:
It will only work when you only change the colors. Once the new theme changes some paddings/borders, you need to force all components on the screen to recalculate their sizes.
24 Sep 2012 4:13 PM #10
If the ability to change the theme of an app while it is running outweighs the maintenance and performance benefits of ClientBundle, then I think you have made the right decision of building non-ClientBundle based appearances - it will be difficult, but on the plus side you'll be able to chance any styles without recompiling or reloading, assuming, as Sven pointed out, that your other themes don't do any resizing.
There is no need to make a new entrypoint - look at the explorerGray module. All it does is say "Load the Explorer module, and then apply Gray" - nowhere do we define new entrypoints or other classes. If your app makes use of any kind of a session (probably via cookies) then the app can cleanly be reloaded and keep the user logged in while a different .nocache.js file is selected.

Plenary Keynote Session
8:10 When Drug Research is Personal
John F. Crowley, Founder, Novazyme Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Mr. Crowley's emotion-packed presentation will focus on his personal struggle to find a cure for Pompe disease, a rare and fatal illness that is caused by a defective or missing enzyme. Pompe disease affects fewer than 10,000 people world-wide, including Mr. Crowley's two small children. Mr. Crowley, a Harvard educated businessman, created and built a pharmaceutical company devoted expressly to finding a cure for the disease. He will detail his journey through the labyrinth of scientific and business fronts, which lead up to a first-round clinical trial.
8:55 Technology, Aging, and the Brain
Gary W. Small, M.D., Parlow-Solomon Professor on Aging, Professor of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, Director, UCLA Center on Aging, Director, Memory & Aging Research Center, Director, Geriatric Psychiatry Division, Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
New neuroimaging and other technologies are teaching us about how the brain ages and what we can do about it. Although memory declines as we age, medical and nonpharmacological strategies may protect brain health and improve memory performance. At the same time, innovation in digital technology is not only changing the way we live and communicate, it appears to be altering how our brains function. As a consequence of this high-tech stimulation, we are witnessing the beginning of a new form of the generation gap - a brain gap dividing younger digital natives, immersed in the technology early in life, from older digital immigrants, who adapt to the new technology more reluctantly. This lecture will describe this current pivotal point in brain evolution and how we can harness the new technology and lifestyle choices to improve memory and brain function so we can live better and longer.
9:40 Grand Opening Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall
11:00 Introduction and Welcome
Matthew K. Robinson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Molecular and Translational Medicine Program, Fox Chase Cancer Center
11:10 Tumor Penetration of Therapeutic Antibodies -The Impact of Size and Exposure Time on Distribution
David Blakey, Ph.D., Chief Scientist, Cancer and Infection Research Area, AstraZeneca
The ability of intact antibodies and fragments to access tumor cells distant from the tumor blood supply is an important therapeutic consideration for antibody based oncology drugs. Preclinical and clinical data will be reviewed regarding the impact of size and exposure time on antibody distribution within tumors.
11:40 Anti-tumor Efficacy Maximization through Blocking Multiple Targets of Angiogenesis
Dana Hu-Lowe, Ph.D., Group Leader, Associate Research Fellow, Cancer Biology, Pfizer, Inc., PGRD-La Jolla
Vascular normalization and adaptivety potentially contribute to resistance to anti-VEGF/VEGFR therapies in the clinic. Other targets, including the Activin receptor Like Kinase 1 (ALK-1), also play a role in promoting tumor angiogenesis. A fully human mAb against ALK-1 was generated. The differential and complimentary outcome of anti-ALK-1 and anti-VEGF will be discussed.
12:10 PM Optimizing Targeting of Anti-tumor Antibodies
Gregory P. Adams, Ph.D., Co-Leader, Molecular and Translational Medicine Program, Fox Chase Cancer Center
We have found that anti-HER2 scFv molecules penetrate and localize in a solid tumors less efficiently with increasing affinity. We will describe studies performed with anti-HER2 human IgGs molecules that demonstrate that affinity also impacts the targeting of intact antibodies. Studies examining the roles of affinity on in vitro ADCC and internalization into tumor cells will also be discussed.

2:20 Bispecific Antibodies: An Approach to Enhance Targeting Selectivity and Efficacy
Work will be presented on our efforts to develop and optimize the targeting selectivity of bispecific antibodies that co-target two distinct tumor associated antigens. We hypothesize that the targeting selectivity afforded by these molecules can potentially be leveraged for the development of new immunodrug conjugates.
2:50 Selective Penetration and Targeting of Tumors
Tapas K. Das Gupta, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., Professor and Head, Surgical Oncology, University of Illinois Chicago; Co-founder, CDG Therapeutics, Inc.
CDG Therapeutics has developed a cell penetrating peptide (28aa) from azurin, a redox protein secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. p28 preferentially enters cancer cells, localizes in the nucleus and stabilizes p53 inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a series of solid tumors. p28 is stable, nontoxic and currently in a Phase I clinical trial.
3:20 A Systems Biology Approach to Engineering Therapeutic Antibodies: Development of an ErbB2/ErbB3 Bispecific Antibody
Alexandra Huhalov, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals
Using quantitative biological datasets of cell signaling we have generated computational models of the ErbB signaling network and identified ErbB3 as a promising target. The application of these models to guide the design of MM-111, a bispecific antibody-based therapeutic targeting the ErbB2/ErbB3 heterodimer, and its antitumor activity will be discussed.
