The Good
Quaint, funny, and great fun. A great homage to the old school point and click adventure games.
The Bad
Quite short and rather simplistic.
* Originally authored by FunkyJ *
LucasArts Sam & Max Hit the Road was a hilarious point & click adventure game based on the comic 'Sam & Max: Freelance Police'. Starring the Freelance Police duo, Sam the overly verbose dog and Max his homicidal rabbit sidekick, the game was as clever as it was funny. It appeared smack bang in the middle of PC gaming's heyday, alongside Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and Maniac Mansion, introducing gamers to clever puzzles with an intuitive interface, alongside funny stories with memorable characters.
As hilarious and fun as point & click adventures were, they have pretty much gone the way of the dodo, evolved out of a market that now hungers for graphical glitz and complex worlds and puzzlesAs hilarious and fun as point & click adventures were, they have pretty much gone the way of the dodo, evolved out of a market that now hungers for graphical glitz and complex worlds and puzzles. Kids growing up on a diet of console gaming with fully realised 3D landscapes, intense action and complex game design, not to mention fully rendered double D sized boobs thanks to Tomb Raider's Lara Croft, meant that these classic 2D games were left to gather dust on the shelves.
Yet fans have always lamented the death of these LucasArts series and their iconic characters, and rumours they would make a comeback kept the love for point and click gaming alive. A Sam & Max sequel was slated to be released by Lucas Arts in 2004, but like many game sequels it sadly never saw the light of day.
However, various members of the team working on the game left Lucas Arts and went on to form Telltale Games, who successfully acquired the rights to produce more Sam & Max games. As an experiment to see how well a PC gaming audience would respond to a new concept of episodic content, the new Sam & Max game would be broken into six episodes, and released monthly online, instead of as one package. Well, the experiment was a success, but for those without net access or just wanting the entire series on disk, there's now Sam & Max: Series 1.
Although the game is fully 3D now, the look and feel of the game is definitely old-school. The game recreates the old locations of the duo's HQ and adds two new locations to suit the wacky adventures of Sam & Max. Bosco's Inconvenience Store and Sybil's office are staffed by the oddest characters and are full of quirky items and laugh out loud sight gags. Bosco is a paranoid shopkeeper who sells ridiculous items for overblown amounts of money. Sybil is, as her name suggests, someone who keeps shifting her identity. Originally a tattooist, then a psychotherapist, and in a later episode she produces a tabloid newspaper, and then becomes a witness for hire! There are other bit-part characters that pop up, such as former child stars the Soda Poppers, weird little fellows who feature in the first episode as the main villains, if they can be called such.
All the characters are over the top and completely bizarre, and some of the interactions with the characters are intensely funnyAll the characters are over the top and completely bizarre, and some of the interactions with the characters are intensely funny. Although most conversations are ask a question then choose a variety of responses, the way they're voiced is incredibly amusing. The music is a kind of jazzy cop show score that fits in beautifully with the rest of the game.
Although each episode is self contained, there is an overarching plot involving world domination through hypnosis, and it's as crazy as the old game Sam & Max Hit The Road. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be as many locations as the previous title, and the criticisms aimed at Point & Click Adventures are still relevant - there is bit of back tracking to various locations to pick up items to solve the riddles. Other riddles involve equipping Sam with an item and then using that item somewhere in the scene, which seems sometimes far more arbitrary than clever. But that's part of the simple joy of Point & Click Adventures.
While at times it is more like an interactive story in a 3D world than something that we would call a fully fledged videogame, the episodic nature of the package works very well. Each episode lasts about an hour, so it's great to pick up and play when you don't want to be bugged down with some of the epic 20 hour long RPG's or play with a bunch of kids who keep calling you a n00b or worse in online games.
All together, the package is great for kids, as the slapstick humour, whilst low-brow at times, is never too rude, and the puzzles never too taxing. It's also great for casual gamers, those who might only have an hour or two a day to play games. Older gamers who fondly remember Sam & Max or other Lucas Arts games will get a kick out of it too.

Sorry about that! Here you go:
Just had issues getting the plugin to work myself. Does your workspace path contain any spaces? I would create a new workspace that contains no spaces and see if it works. This is apparently a known issue.

I am curious about the connection between properties of L-functions and random matrices, and about (if existent) function field versions of that. Do you know a survey or an other article where one could get an idea of those themes and possibly related issues (e.g. which of the many sorts of L-functions are related to random matrices)?
A very nice survey on the function field case by Douglas Ulmer: "The goal of this survey is to give some insight into how well-distributed sets of matrices in classical groups arise from families of L-functions in the context of the middle column of Weil's trilingual inscription, namely function fields of curves over finite fields. The exposition is informal and no proofs are given; rather, our aim is illustrate what is true by considering key examples." There are several other very interesting articles on his website, BTW.

WACO (October 25, 2012)--The uncle of a man on trial for capital murder in Waco was arrested Thursday after a judge signed a warrant charging him with retaliation against a trial witness.
John Richards, uncle of Ricky Donnell Cummings, was awaiting booking in the McLennan County Jail after U.S. Marshals and McLennan County Sheriff's deputies arrested him just after noon on Thursday.
Cummings, 23, is on trial for capital murder in the March 2011 deaths of Keenan Hubert, 20, and Tyus Sneed, 17, both of whom died in a hail of bullets as they sat inside a car parked at Lakewood Villas apartment complex.
Marion Bible, then 22, and Deontrae Majors, then 20, were wounded in the shooting.
Richards' arrest comes after a man threatened a witness in Cummings' capital murder trial Wednesday night, authorities said.
On Thursday morning when the witness prepared to leave her house to go to the courthouse, she found her car's tires slashed, which is one of the reasons the start of the trial was delayed.
Officers began searching for Richards after the arrest warrant was issued and found him in the parking lot of the H-E-B store in Bellmead.
The start of testimony in Cummings' trial was delayed Thursday not only because the witness's car was vandalized, but also because a medical examiner who was also scheduled to testify Thursday was stuck in traffic on Interstate 35.
A third witness was delayed because she was having difficulty finding a babysitter for a child with cerebral palsy.
When the trial finally resumed late Thursday morning, jurors heard testimony from a woman whose apartment Cummings and a second man entered after the deadly shooting.
She said Cummings used her bathroom and then went to her kitchen where he washed his hands in the kitchen sink with dishwasher soap.
Her granddaughter, who lives with her, echoed her testimony and said she saw Cummings and second man she identified as Albert Love in the apartment and then outside. She testified that Cummings asked to use her phone.
Albert Leslie Love, Jr., Tyrece Edward Richards, Darvis Tyrell Cumings, and Kennedy Wayne Hardway, who's also known as Kevin Wayne Hardaway, were also indicted in the shooting, but prosecutors later dismissed the capital murder charge against Richards.
Ricky and Darvis Cummings and Tyrece Richards are brothers. Kennedy Hardway is their cousin, authorities said, and the four are closely associated with Albert Love.
Prosecutors also questioned a Waco High School student who was playing basketball at Hood Street Park in 2010, on the day Cumming's friend Emuel Bowers III, 21, was shot as he sat in his car at the intersection of Rose and McKeen Streets.
Prosecutors say Hubert and Sneed were killed because Cummings suspected Hubert was involved in Bowers' murder.
The high school student testified Thursday that he heard a gunshot and saw someone run away.
He said Cummings later approached him twice, made him get in his car, and asked him what he knew about the Bowers shooting.
He also testified Thursday that he saw Cummings at the scene of the double murders in 2011 and offered the same description of what Cummings was wearing as two previous witnesses—a white T-shirt and shorts.
Thursday afternoon medical examiner Dr. Jill Urban, who was delayed by traffic on the Interstate, testified about the autopsies she performed on the two victims at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science.
She showed graphic photographs of the gunshot wounds that killed the two victims and then prosecutors brought in a life-size mannequin and used dowels to connect entrance and exit wounds in order to show the trajectory of the shots.

Why are packages in the official Ubuntu repositories older than the latest (upstream) versions from Debian Sid, PPAs, the authors, etc.?
An Ubuntu release goes through several stages before it actually makes it to the public as a finished product:
New version of packages are consistently being imported (from Debian) for the next release of Ubuntu, until the next freeze happens and the same process repeats itself.
As an example, you can have a look at the
You can see that even though 12.04 was released in April, in January 12 something called Debian Import Freeze happened.
This is just the first of many freeze stages happening before the actual release and means that at that point the import of packages from Debian testing or unstable stops and work starts on them to customize and fix issues with them.
No upgrades are done after that point in a lot of packages and the version that package had at that point is the version present and maintained through a release's lifetime.
So even though there are higher versions of the same package in developers' PPAs or in Ubuntu+1 repositories those will only be included in the next release of Ubuntu.
This is done for stability, security and functionality. New bleeding packages being imported all the time to the main repository would mean issues and a lot more problems to be solved. A freeze in the packages version helps to sort that out and make Ubuntu safer and more stable for the end user.
A new version of Ubuntu is released every 6 months, so every 6 months new packages are prepared, tested, customized and released with a new version. Future versions of a packages can be installed in your system via a PPA or just by downloading it from a web site, but the version of the package in the official repository remains the same.
For more understanding and an interesting overview of what happened to Ubuntu from 10.04 until the launch of 12.04 have a look at
Two reasons. The first is quite obvious: it requires a human to spend time updating the package when a new upstream comes out. The second is that if you are running a stable release as opposed to the current development version, packages are intentionally NOT updated willly-nilly to avoid breakage. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.
I shall try to answer your questions based on my past experiences from ubuntu forums and ubuntu planet.
I'm guess I'm just wondering how the apt repositories get updated, and by whom.
The APT repos do get updated from the packaging team at Ubuntu. The packaging team gets all the upstream packages from developers who do an initial packaging testing and other things. Then the testing team does the final testing giving a go signal. But the packaging team and the testing teams are very cautious about the dependencies and its side affects to the stable system.
When there's a lag, is it because the developer hasn't pushed the most recent release onto the relevant server?
If you see the upstream changes, there are thousands of developers wanting to push their packages. But not all are succeeded into the main stream this is because for various reasons. Assume Gedit application, a 2.2 version is suited and works fine with Dbus 2.1 and Gtk 2.4, etc. Where as Gedit 2.4 version (very new) needs Gtk 2.5 and Dbus2.3 to work. Now testing and packaging team (release team also)does not accept this because changing an existing system having old dbus and gtk with the new one breaks every thing else. Hope you got the point of dependency hell.
Is there a lot more work for the developer in getting the release into a form the repository can use?
Not to upstream channel. But to the release channel yes :).
P.S: There could be a bit changes done to the process now in the canonical compared to whats explained above. But it more or less same.
Packages are frozen for the release and not updated subsequently for a number of reasons. If new releases were brought in post-release, then the new version...
All that said, be aware that there are cases where Ubuntu does do full updates of software versions in the repository. Firefox for instance.
Also, there is a ubuntu-backports repository users can opt into which updates software packages that won't cause problems like those listed above. It's not enabled by default so users have to opt-in to it, which is done to eliminate the surprise of having your software change out from under you. Also, it's not heavily staffed and so I'm not sure how frequently packages actually get updates.
Further, the SRU team has recently updated polices a bit which hopefully will make it a bit more straightforward to get bugfix-only package updates in.
Normally the updates in released versions of Ubuntu are for security and bug fixes, examples of such bugs include:
Taken from the excellent wiki page StableReleaseUpdates.
The accepted answer in the link fossfreedom posted as a comment is very good.
In general, package versions released after the first part of the new release development process don't appear in the main repositories of that release so that a reliable Ubuntu version can be tested thoroughly.
You may find some packages are released to the backports repository if they are sucessfully incorporated in a future Ubuntu release and if developers believe it will also work with earlier ones. Backports can be activated and deactivated in the Software Center (Edit->Software Sources->Updates Tab->Unsupported Updates)
The answer is not full.
There are SOME packaged, than can be installed in a backport version from Software Center. In the right side of the window, just on the left of Install/Change button, there is a select box where you can change the version.
Exempli gratia: Default
Source: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/conky/+bug/1003727
EDIT: As stated below, not every package has a backport, but you may have an early access sometimes if you are lucky enough.

How so? If I have a rig with both a slow CPU and slow hard drive running massive photoshop files, I think that would qualify as bound by both CPU and I/O. The CPU would be bound by being unable to process all the filters properly, and the I/O in that the hard drive would be unable to load the files to the ram and CPU to process.
I agree. While performance for each tiny fraction of a second is limited by just one element, the overall program performance is a combined function of all of them. There is a percentage that could be improved with storage system upgrades and a percentage that could be improved with processor upgrades. Let's be willing to accept some imprecision and say that performance is "mostly" bound by one or the other or that it depends strongly on two of them.Shining Arcanine wrote:In your example, the program is I/O bound when loading and CPU-bound at processing. It is never both I/O-bound and CPU-bound at the same time.

So What Is an Administrator to Do?
Susan Murphy, Ph.D., Vice President, Student and Academic Services, Cornell University
The following sections summarize and synthesize the principal points made in the commissioned papers and during the Panel's discussions. Figures providing a graphic presentation on the scope of the problem can be found in the appendix.
Alcohol misuse on college campuses is not a new problem. It is entrenched in the culture of many institutions of higher learning and in students' social lives. U.S. youth and college administrators alike cite alcohol as the most pervasively misused substance on campus. Recent news stories publicizing alcohol-related deaths on college campuses have drawn attention to this public health problem. Alcohol misuse among college students is taking its toll not only on the students who drink alcohol to excess, but also on other students affected by the behavior of their drinking peers, college administrators, health care personnel who counsel student drinkers, the community, and the institution's physical plant and grounds, which often sustain heavy damage from vandalism by inebriated college students.
Recent concerns have often focused on the practice of binge drinking, typically defined as consuming five or more drinks in a row for men, and four or more drinks in a row for women. A shorthand description of this type of heavy episodic drinking is the "5/4 definition." Approximately two of five college students—more than 40 percent—have engaged in binge drinking in the past 2 weeks, according to this definition. It should be noted, however, that colleges vary widely in their binge drinking rates—from 1 percent to more than 70 percent—and a study on one campus may not apply to others (Wechsler et al., 1994, 1998, 2000b).
The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) have identified binge drinking among college students as a major public health problem. In Healthy People 2010, which sets U.S. public health goals through the year 2010, the Federal government has singled out binge drinking among college students for a specific, targeted reduction (i.e., from 39 to 20 percent) by the year 2010. Healthy People 2010 notes that: "Binge drinking is a national problem, especially among males and young adults." The report also observes that: "The perception that alcohol use is socially acceptable correlates with the fact that more than 80 percent of American youth consume alcohol before their 21st birthday, whereas the lack of social acceptance of other drugs correlates with comparatively lower rates of use. Similarly, widespread societal expectations that young persons will engage in binge drinking may encourage this highly dangerous form of alcohol consumption" (USDHHS, 2000).
There is evidence that more extreme forms of drinking by college students are escalating. In one study, frequent binge drinkers grew from 20 to 23 percent between 1993 and 1999. The number of students who reported three or more incidents of intoxication in the past month also increased (Wechsler, et al., 2000b). It should be noted, however, that the number of college students who do not drink is also growing. In the same study, the percentage of abstainers increased from 15 to 19 percent.
Binge drinking is not unique to the United States. Although the cross-cultural literature is scant, college students in the United States seem to drink somewhat less than their counterparts in European countries and somewhat more than their counterparts in Asian countries. There is some evidence that problematic drinking-related behaviors such as rowdiness, aggressiveness, and inappropriate actions are more pronounced in the United States than in some other countries (Delk and Meilman, 1996; Hong and Isralowitz, 1989; Leadley and Greenfield, 1999).
Glossary of Alcohol Terminology
There are three broad domains to consider when discussing alcohol involvement: (1) alcohol consumption, (2) alcohol-related consequences or problems, and (3) alcohol dependence. Although conceptually and empirically related, each refers to a distinct set of phenomena and each has important implications for those concerned with college student drinking.
The term alcohol consumption refers to the frequency with which alcohol is consumed and/or quantity consumed over a given time. Frequency refers to the number of days or, sometimes, occasions on which someone has consumed alcoholic beverages during a specified interval such as a week, month, or year. Quantity refers to the amount consumed on a given drinking occasion. Most typically, consumption is assessed using "standard drinks." In the United States these are defined as 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1.25 ounces of distilled spirits. Quantity and frequency measures can be combined to form a measure of quantity/frequency (Q/F), which estimates the total volume consumed over a specified time. Because individuals do not drink the same amount on each drinking occasion, some surveys attempt to assess the frequency of drinking various amounts of alcohol (e.g., one to two drinks, three to four drinks, five to six drinks, seven or more drinks) over a specified period. This approach, although cumbersome, probably provides a more accurate assessment of total volume consumed as well as variability of drinking pattern.
However, assessing the frequency of drinking varying amounts of alcohol is complex. Moreover, for many purposes, the primary concern is not "light" or "moderate" consumption but rather "heavy consumption." As a result, it is common to assess heavy consumption using the frequency of consuming a number of drinks meeting or exceeding a certain threshold.
Heavy-drinking occasions are often referred to as "binges" in the college student drinking literature. Based on the influential work of Henry Wechsler and colleagues (who define "binge" as five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more drinks in a row for women), the prevalence of binge drinking has become a key metric in estimating the extent of the alcohol problem on college campuses.
There has been some controversy surrounding the use of the term "binge drinking." Historically, binge drinking has referred to an extended period of heavy drinking (for example, a "bender" lasting 3 days or more) that is seen in some alcoholic patients. Some clinicians believe that using the term "binge" to refer to a less severe phenomenon is potentially confusing and blurs this very important distinction. On the other hand, Dr. Wechsler has argued that the term "binge" is used in a variety of contexts (e.g., with respect to eating and shopping) and the new usage with respect to alcohol is consistent with the more general meaning. Other writers have criticized the failure to specify the drinker's body mass and the time period over which five (or four) drinks are consumed, both of which affect blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Dr. Wechsler believes that "in a row" implies a relatively short time, and has argued further that consumption at these levels is associated with a greatly enhanced likelihood of experiencing a range of negative consequences (Wechsler and Nelson, 2001). Whether terms such as "heavy drinking," "binge drinking," or "drinking to intoxication" are used, it is clear that consumption of large quantities of alcohol on a single drinking occasion is an important variable in assessing college students' alcohol involvement.
Alcohol-related consequences refer to a variety of negative life events that are the direct result of alcohol consumption. These consequences include:
To many, consumption by itself is a major social issue only to the extent that it generates adverse consequences. Consequently, it is possible to conceive of prevention strategies (e.g., designated driver programs) that might not reduce consumption but still reduce consequences.
The term alcohol dependence replaces the older term "alcoholism" and refers to a syndrome consisting of signs and symptoms signifying the importance of alcohol consumption in the life of the drinker. Among these signs and symptoms are the following (Edwards, 1986; Edwards and Gross, 1976):
Both alcohol-related consequences and the alcohol dependence syndrome can be viewed as dimensional constructs that can be graded in intensity from absent to severe. Notably missing from these descriptions is reference to the amount of alcohol consumed. Although individuals who drink excessive amounts of alcohol are more likely to incur alcohol-related problems and alcohol dependence symptoms, current diagnostic practice focuses more on the consequences of drinking and on the psychological and physiological significance of drinking to the individual than on the quantity or frequency of consumption per se. The fourth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) describes two major categories of alcohol use disorder, (1) alcohol abuse and (2) alcohol dependence, that roughly correspond to the distinction between alcohol-related disabilities and the alcohol dependence syndrome (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 1994; Edwards and Gross, 1976). Within DSM-IV, alcohol dependence is the more severe disorder, and its presence or history excludes the diagnosis of alcohol abuse.
Barriers to reducing alcohol misuse on college campuses are numerous. Alcohol use is woven into U.S. culture, is sanctioned by adults for the pleasure of adults, and is associated with times of celebration and happiness. From an early age, many American children see adults drinking at home, in restaurants and clubs, and at parties. They expect to participate in this activity as they grow into adulthood. Although the legal U.S. drinking age is 21 in all States, students know that enforcement of this law is lax in many college environments.
All too frequently, adults sell liquor to underage students without asking for proper identification. Underage students also obtain alcoholic beverages from older students or obtain false identification so they can buy liquor before they reach the age of 21. As one student put it, "[Our] campus culture is most easily identified by the drinking culture. Within weeks of their arrival, freshmen have purchased fake IDs and are frequenting the bars…" (Murphy and Trejos, 2000). Drink specials in bars such as two-for Tuesdays (days on which two beers can be had for the price of one) reinforce drinking as a cultural norm and a way for college students to socialize. "Part of college life is drinking, and you're not going to change that," said another student. "I like the bar scene because it's one way I get to hang out with my friends" (Murphy and Ly, 2000).
Drinking alcohol to excess impairs judgment and self-control. When drinking among college students leads to destructive consequences, including fights, college students themselves are often hard-pressed to explain what happened. "It's a really weird mix of testosterone, alcohol, and some really unseemly behavior," said one young man (Murphy and Trejos, 2000).
While recognizing that students and colleges and universities are increasingly diverse, this report focuses primarily on students who attend 4-year, residential colleges immediately or shortly after high school. The report focuses on this group because of concerns that certain factors related to the "traditional" college experience may inadvertently encourage, permit, or even reward excessive drinking behavior.

AsyncCallback creation of Accordion contents not displayed
It seems that when I populate the contents of an Accordion panel they are not displayed until I do a window resize.
I load a set of categories from a database and create a Panel for each of them.
The panels are added to the Accordion window.
Each panel (aka category) contains a grid of items.
The grid is not displayed unless I do a Window resize.
If I hard-code the call of the function that fills the grid, it displays ok.
If I call the function that fills the grid from the onSuccess function of a AsyncCallback the grid is not displayed.
I have tried overriding the onRender, onClick and other events.
I have also tried changing the width of the grid, making the store listen for changes. No good.
I have also tried using a tree instead of a grid, same result.
I then tried putting a button in the panel, same result - not displayed until I do a window resize.
I'm using GWT 1.5.3, gxt-1.2.1
Any help is greatly appreciated.
public class NichePanel extends ContentPanel { AManagerServiceAsync aManagerService; String previousCategory; Grid<NicheModel> selectedGrid; public NichePanel() { setHeading("Niches"); setIconStyle("icon-niches"); setLayout(new AccordionLayout()); buildUI(); loadCategories(); } ... private void loadCategories() { //if (1 == 1) { // this works just fine //loadNiche(new NicheModel(1L, "first", "cat one", Status.RUNNING)); //return; //} // this displays empty panels until the window is resized aManagerService = AManagerService.App.getInstance(); aManagerService.getNiches(new AsyncCallback<List<NicheModel>>() { public void onFailure(Throwable caught) { ClientLogger.logWarn(this, caught.toString()); } public void onSuccess(List<NicheModel> nicheList) { Collections.sort(nicheList, new NicheModelComparator()); for (NicheModel niche : nicheList) loadNiche(niche); } }); } private void loadNiche(NicheModel niche) { if (!niche.get(Column.CATEGORY).equals(previousCategory)) { previousCategory = (String) niche.get(Column.CATEGORY); ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel(); cp.setHeading((String) niche.get(Column.CATEGORY)); cp.setLayout(new FitLayout()); selectedGrid = createGrid(); cp.add(selectedGrid); cp.show(); add(cp); } selectedGrid.getStore().insert(niche, 0); selectedGrid.getStore().commitChanges(); }

Starting out...
The first thing I did after installing the beta was to double-click on one of the sample projects. I was then prompted for a file to import (I selected the same file again) and entered a folder to use and pressed the Import button. Nothing happened except an error was reported in red on the screen.
I can see this not the correct way to open an existing app but I can imagine many doing exactly the same because (at least in Windows) the extension is tied to the designer executable.
It may be helpful to head new users in the right direction at this point by, for example, preventing the action or by creating an appropriate new project in the background automatically.

Thanks for the feedback.
We already have a ticket to unify the experience between opening xds and xda files.
Were you able to import the xda file into its own project directory?Aaron Conran
31 Jan 2012 12:26 PM #3
My tactic which seems successful is to create a new project and then import the xda. Is this what you'd expect a user to do?
31 Jan 2012 12:31 PM #4
Both workflows you described should work. We know we still have some work to do when you directly open an archive file.Aaron Conran

SPOTLIGHT ON:(Back to Menu)
First-Hand Lessons in International Human Rights Issues for Students on Trip to Israel
Clinical Professor Jennifer Rosen Valverde and eight law students from the Rutgers School of Law–Newark spent their seven days of spring break in and around Beer Sheva, Israel, as part of an exchange opportunity with Ben Gurion University (BGU). Beer Sheva is located in the southern part of the country in the Negev desert, approximately 40 miles east of Gaza. Their visit coincided with a period of turmoil in the region, requiring some disquieting adjustments to the itinerary but forging enduring bonds and teaching real lessons in international human rights law and policy.
|Professor Valverde (back row, third from right) with Rutgers law students and students and administrators from Ben Gurion University at the Jaffa Gate, the main entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. Click here for more photos of the exchange trip.
"One of the things I love about Rutgers," said Valverde, "is the diversity of the student body. I am truly amazed at how eight people from such different walks of life bonded during this trip to become lifelong friends, not only with each other but with their Israeli brothers and sisters. I am so very proud of each one of the students: Jason Bost '13, Cindy Lou Cuesta '14, Joy Durham '12, Derya Kazak '13, Jordana Mondrow '12, Tim Pedergnana '12, DJ Soltis '13, and Boris Zaydel '12.
The purpose of the exchange was for Rutgers students to learn about children's rights, identity and advocacy in Israel. The group planned to study the Israeli legal system, focusing on children's issues in particular, and to meet with representatives of several social service programs to find out about how they help the indigent, the marginalized and underserved, such as the Bedouin population, and immigrant populations, including those from Russia and Ethiopia.
Richard Isralowitz, Professor of Social Work at BGU and Rutgers Law School's primary partner in the exchange, handled the organizational details on BGU's end, together with Vered Sarousi and Ilan Kalgrad, Director and Assistant Director of BGU's Community Action Program (CAP). Yair Ronen, an attorney and Professor of Social Work at BGU, was responsible for some of the legal lectures.
The CAP, a social justice initiative, accepts BGU undergraduate and graduate students into the program after a stringent application process. Once accepted, the students receive free housing in apartments located in the most socio-economically challenged Beer Sheva neighborhoods. In return, each student offers 8–10 hours per week of educational, social and other assistance programs for the neighborhood residents and "adopts" a family in the community to foster the development of meaningful relationships between students and residents.
The goal of CAP is to generate positive change in the community and to make BGU programs and services more accessible to local residents. The CAP arranged for Rutgers students to live with the Israeli students in the CAP apartments and to participate with the CAP students in the programs they run.
As Valverde recalled: "Two months of intense planning preceded the trip, and tight schedules for the visit were in place. But the first lesson we learned after touching down was that when it comes to planning in Israel, flexibility is key.
"Rockets from Gaza started falling just before our arrival and continued throughout our stay. We heard our first siren after eating lunch on the day we arrived and quickly were rushed into a 'safe room,' windowless and fortified with concrete pillars and steel supports. The scenario seemed surreal; fatigue had started to set in after flying all night with little sleep, yet the seriousness with which our Israeli partners took the siren coupled with the 'booms' we heard outside jolted us awake like caffeine injections. Most of the students appeared to take the situation in stride. All expressed an appropriate level of concern but when offered the opportunity to return home, all vehemently refused."
The Rutgers group then received an orientation to the CAP and heard from some of the students about their work in the community. "Several of the CAP students are immigrants from Ethiopia and Russia," Valverde said, "and they eloquently described their commitment to improving the lives of community members and the positive impact they have had on specific children." That evening BGU hosted a feast at a local restaurant for the Rutgers students and their Israeli counterparts, the BGU faculty, CAP lead staff and the president of BGU.

Continuing rocket attacks the next day shut down the city. Schools closed, the university closed, programs closed. Professor Valverde and Professor Isralowitz abandoned their initial plans and instead headed for a settlement in the Negev near the kibbutz of Sde Boker. The group visited a residential treatment facility for adults and teenagers in the middle of the desert. They learned about the country's drug and alcohol problems, the laws and consequences in place for these types of offenses, and efforts being made to address these needs. They also stood side by side with the facility's residents in the safe room as a siren rang.
In the afternoon, classes were held in Sde Boker where Rutgers students discussed their expectations for the weeklong visit. Expectations included learning about the Israeli legal system, children's rights in the areas of education, child welfare and delinquency, and the role of a lawyer on behalf of children. The law students received a brief overview of the Israeli legal system, the process for becoming a lawyer in Israel, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and its adoption and implementation in Israel. That evening Rutgers students returned to their hosts in Beer Sheva, which had experienced more rockets but no injuries and only minimal property damage, and were surprised with an impromptu Purim party that lasted well into the night.
Meanwhile, since the continuing rocket attacks pointed to the possibility of a ground war, Professors Valverde and Isralowitz made plans for the students to leave Beer Sheva the following day and arranged for visits with different social service agencies. At approximately 2 a.m., Egypt brokered a truce but, given the uncertainty as to whether it would hold, the Rutgers group traveled to Kfar Adiel, a village for BGU students in Ashalim, south of Beer Sheva.
Professor Valverde explained that Kfar Adiel offered another example of the social justice movement in Israel. It is a graduate student-built and managed settlement in which students provide programs, services and support to residents in exchange for free housing and university tuition. After visiting the village, where Valverde and her clinic students would return to spend the night, they attended a lecture on Israel's Bedouin population. This was followed by a visit to a Bedouin safe house – in reality, a Bedouin family home that opens its doors to abused, neglected and abandoned children, including children from other Bedouin camps as well as from immigrant communities.
That night in Ashalim, the Israeli students built a bonfire in the desert and prepared stew in an old cast iron poike pot cooked over the fire. "We heard booms in the distance," Valverde reported, "but our friends reassured us that they were far away and most likely training going on at the military base."
All had been quiet in Beer Sheva since late morning the prior day, so the group decided to return to the city the following morning. Students had a lecture on Sharia Law followed by a lecture on the application of family law to different populations in Israel (e.g., ultra-orthodox Jewish, Bedouin) and how Israeli civil law operates in tandem with these other cultural/religious-based laws.
The Rutgers Law School group then had a conversation with the deputy director of the bureau of social affairs for the Negev about the events over the prior three days. "We discussed our feelings and reactions to what had happened," Valverde recalled, "and the effects of our own values and experiences on our interpretation of and responses to the events. We spoke of frames of reference and how they differ and what that means for us and for Israelis. Though guarded at times, students spoke honestly about their experience, revealing the tremendous impact it had had on their lives."
Professor Valverde and her students spent Thursday in Jerusalem. They first met with New Jersey native Arthur Lenk, director of the department of international law in the legal office of the Foreign Ministry, to discuss issues of international law and Israel. They then toured the Supreme Court building, wandered the old city, and ended the day with a visit to Yad Vashem and a lecture on legal issues surrounding the Holocaust. After a quiet night in Beer Sheva, the group traveled to Masada and the Dead Sea on their final day. Friday night was spent in Tel Aviv, and the students left Israel on Saturday.
Valverde is very proud of her students and how they responded to the challenges of the trip. "They demonstrated incredible strength, kindness, resilience, warmth, intelligence and most of all humor during our trip. While perhaps they did not learn all of the lessons we had intended, those they missed were replaced with lessons on international human rights and experiencing first-hand, for brief moments, the toll that living under the constant threat and periodic barrage of rocket attacks takes on the lives of all who live in the Negev. These are the lessons that will last a lifetime."
For their part, the Israeli faculty, students and administrators expressed great interest in learning more about social justice initiatives and human rights issues in the United States. It is Valverde's hope that the Rutgers Law School trip was the beginning of a regular exchange program with Ben Gurion University.

Women Nobel Prize Winners for Literature
4 of 14
Pearl Buck (1938)
Pearl Buck was an American novelist who was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize for Literature. Until 1924 she lived principally in China, where she, her parents, and her first husband, John Lossing Buck, were missionaries. She is famous for vivid, compassionate novels about life in China. The Good Earth (1931; Pulitzer Prize), considered her finest work, describes a Chinese peasant's rise to wealth and brilliantly conveys a sense of the daily life of ordinary Chinese people.
Fun Fact: In 1949 she founded Welcome House, which provided care for the children of Asian women and American soldiers.

Mapping an Evaluation to a Specific Course Section
Mapping an Evaluation to a Specific Course Section
Before students may use an evaluation for a specific course, that course section must be mapped to an evaluation that you have already created or edited. Mapping the evaluation simply tells the system which evaluation you wish to use for a specific course section. One evaluation will often be mapped to many course sections, and may even be used for different courses. For example, Dental Hygiene may wish to use one evaulation for all undergraduate Dental Hygiene courses, and a different evaluation for all graduate courses.
- Access the Online Course Evaluation Admin site.
- Select Add Course Mapping , then click Perform Selected Action.
- Select a Term, and if you wish to see mappings that already exist, check the box to Include courses that are already mapped to evals. Click Submit.
- Select a specific Session if you wish, and click Submit (most users simply leave Session set to All).
- Choose a Department from the Dept. drop-down list and click Submit.
- Choose a Subject, then click Submit (sometimes there will only be one subject).
- You will now see a list of course sections matching the criteria you have selected, and there are several steps to take in this screen.
- Under Evaluation Options, choose the Evaluation to Use.
- Select (check the checkbox of) the course section(s) you would like to map to this evaluation. Note that you may map multiple sections to the same evaluation. In the screenshot below, we have chosen to map the evaluation "(1841) ACC 999 Courses" to the first 8 sections of Accounting 205 in the list. Click Update Selected to map the evaluation to those sections.
- You will notice that course sections already have a default Open Date (the date the evaluation becomes available for students to complete), Close Date (the date the evaluation is no longer available for students to complete), and Release Date (the date that results are available to view). These dates reflect the most common dates based on the section's term, session and end date, and most choose to leave these as-is. However if you wish to change them, you may re-select (check the checkbox of) the section(s) whose Open, Close and/or Release Dates you wish to change, and use the appropriate calendar tool to choose a new date. In the example below, we are selecting a new Open Date for the first ACC-205 section; once you have chosen a new date in the calendar, be sure to click Update Selected to enter the new date.
- Once you have updated the mapping and (if necessary) any dates, be sure that all course sections you wish to map are still selected (checked) and click Submit to apply all of your changes. This may take awhile, depending on how many courses you are modifying.
After submitting you should receive a confirmation screen showing your changes.
- Under Evaluation Options, choose the Evaluation to Use.

San Antonio, Texas- The Charlotte 49ers desire to win shined through the overcast skies as the Niners defeated UTSA in a Conference USA series finale, 5-3. Charlotte used a three runs seventh inning to improve to 15-16 on the season and 6-8 in C-USA play. UTSA falls to 18-21 with a 6-6 mark in conference play.
"I'm so excited and proud of these girls," said Aimee DeVos. "The desire to win and compete was incredible. We played all out and truly never gave up. Taking the series on the road made it a big weekend for us."
Five different Niners contributed hits in the win. Jes Plemmons paced the Niners going 2-4 at the plate with a RBI and a run scored. Natalie Capone, Jackie Kleinsmith, Chelsea Ingersoll and Jessie Fennell picked up a hit apiece.
Charlotte struggled at the plate going nine-up and nine-down through the first three innings. Natalie Capone (St. Charles, Ill./ St. Charles North) drew a four pitch walk for the first base runner. Samantha Slade (Apex, N.C./ Apex HS) would sacrifice Capone over to second on the bunt. An infield miscue allowed Jackie Kleinsmith (Santa Maria, Calif./ Righetti HS) to score Capone from second for the first run of the game for either team.
Charlotte's lone senior Chelsea Ingersoll (Charlotte, N.C./ Butler HS) found the long ball for the first time this season in the top of the fifth inning sending a 2-2 pitch over the left centerfield wall and gave the Niners a 2-0 lead.
UTSA took the lead with one swing of the bat in the bottom half of the fifth. Megan Low singled up the middle under the glove of Capone to start the rally. Courtney Buchman battled at the plate to reach on a 10 pitch walk. Jori Fox gave the Roadrunners its first lead of the game at 3-2 with a three-run homer to left field.
Lexi Betancourt (Garner, N.C./ West Johnson HS) started the Niner rally in the top of the seventh inning getting on base with a hit-by-pitch. Capone pushed Betancourt up 60 feet on an infield bunt single to the third basemen. With the Niners staring at the face of defeat, Jessica Plemmons (Lexington, N.C./ North Davidson HS) singled down the first base line scoring Betancourt for the tying run. Kleinsmith would give the Niners the go ahead blow with a double into the right center gap scoring Capone and Plemmons for the 5-3 lead heading to the bottom half of the seventh.
The Roadrunners would pick up a single in the bottom half of the seventh but kept off the scoreboard allowing the Niners to take the three game series in comeback fashion.
Lexi Betancourt (14-8) picked up her second win in the series and fifth straight win. Betancourt pitched the complete game allowing three runs off seven hits and striking out six.
UTSA's starter Nicole Merrill pitched five innings allowing two runs off two hits, picking up the no decision. Merrill picked up the win in game two of the series. Kacy Freeze (10-9) took the loss tossing the final two innings allowing three runs off four hits.
Charlotte has won five of the last six as the Niners head to Furman for a midweek non-conference doubleheader, April 9 with first pitch at 4pm.

Romans 8:3 says the following
καἰ περἰ ἁμαρτἰας (and for sin)
Many translations suggest as an offering for sin as an alternate translation. I can see how περί can mean in place of, but is as an offering for a common translation of περἰ?
No, περἰ does not normally have the meaning as an offering for. Purely on the basis of the Greek present, it is hard to translate περἰ in that way.
The standard translations of
You could make this verse fit any of the last four meanings. (My source for these definitions is Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon Abridged Edition, which is admittedly more a resource for classical Greek than biblical, but which is probably apt in any case.)
With that said, however, some scholars have made the argument that περἰ ἁμαρτἰας as a phrase has a set meaning. In, for instance, the LXX of Leviticus 5.9, we come across the following bit of Greek:
Here, περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας means precisely sin-offering. The phrase is a set phrase that appears in other places in the Septuagint, as a translation for the Hebrew lechatta'th (sin-offering). It seems quite likely that Paul intended this allusion when he wrote Romans 8.3. I'm not sure that it's strong enough to be the principal translation, but there's a very strong case for including it as a footnote.
A couple of references on Google Books for these ideas:
Actually, περἰ ἁμαρτἰας is frequently used in the LXX to translate the Hebrew word חטאת (chatta'at), meaning "sin offering."
You could verify this by performing a phrase search for περἰ ἁμαρτἰας in the LXX and examining the corresponding Hebrew word. For example, see LXX of Lev. 7:7.
There are also numerous occurrences in the Greek NT where the same Greek phrase is used in a context that is undoubtedly referring to "sin offerings." For example,
Essentially, περἰ ἁμαρτἰας is functioning as a substantive prepositional phrase, thus "that which is for sin," i.e. a sin offering. It's likely that Koine Greek simply didn't have an equivalent word for the Hebrew word חטאת; therefore, the Jewish authors had to employ the prepositional phrase περἰ ἁμαρτἰας as a substantive.

At v10, it was nice that you could roll back individual Service Packs.
Ive just rolled forward to 10.1 SP1 on my dev machine (not a fresh install), but it would appear this option is not available at 10.1.
Anyone know of a way to roll back the Service Pack without having to do a re-install?
EDIT - As an Esri distributor employee I have an pre-release of SP1, and I assumed it was the same final version that would be made available to clients.
I would like to suggest leaving this Q open until the final release is made available, and I will re-test and either edit my Q accordingly, or vote to close the Q off if its not an issue anymore. Apologies if I have caused any confusion. I can say that there is some nice new stuff to play with in this SP :)

Physicists talk about a smooth trajectory of a particle on a smooth manifold and they label it as q(t) where q_1(t)....q_n(t) are component functions coming from the homeomorphism. I don't see how we can meaningfully talk about the whole trajectory this way as it might happen that the particle moves from one point to another point on the manifold and it might happen that the coordinate system at this point is different from that of previous point. How do we ensure that these two patch up and we can meaningfully talk about q(t) independent of the location of particle?
Is there some specific problem you have which makes this a physics question and not just a mathematics question?
You essentially ask how we can state a parametrized curve, a one-dimensional submanifold, a smooth function from $t$ to $\mathcal M$. Clearly, if you use an atlas without global coordinates, but a set of coordinates on their respective patches, then you have to state the curve in all the coordinates. If the expressions $q_1(t),\dots,q_n(t)$ denote specific functional dependencies, then they are of course only valid in one coordinate system. In the spaces where the patches intersect, you know how to translate from one to the other by the definition of a manifold. If that system is not covering the whole space, then this is not the full information, but the full information should be available by solving the equations for the mechanical system. If the curve is given by a integral curve of some vector field and you have to compute it by say the Hamiltonian equations of motion, then the tangent vector is determined by the equations at every point and so in every patch. Say you want to compute where the trajectory has to go step by step. Then if you go along and the patch comes to an end, then you'll have to transform to the next patch, transform the equations with you and follow the same procedure againt.

The Character Dancer: What Makes Him/her Tick?and who are the most memorable?
Posted 23 March 2006 - 08:12 PM
"I think it's a shame that people who might excel at this type of movement are not very encouragedsince everyone is supposed to be an all-rounder, there is not a special niche for the character dancer, and off the top of my head I can't think of anyone at ABT who is that now, though I have enjoyed Victor Barbee, Keith Roberts, Ethan Brown, Kathleen Moore and Sandra Brown in those types of parts in the past."
This seems like a good dicussion topioc on its own. What qualities make a good character dancer? Which dancers do you think have been, are, or have the potential to be the best character dancers?

But top of my list is Derek Rencher.
Actually, shared honors with Alexander Grant.
Posted 24 March 2006 - 09:22 AM
Same for me.
The best I ever saw was Gediminas Taranda.
I think that the most important thing a character dancer can do is either to bring the audience into that character, regardless of the age, ethnic, racial, gender, or other stereotype of the character -- older cuckolded husband, touched son of the landowner, etc. -- and to make the audience react to that character beyond the stereotype, even for the duration of a cameo, or to make the audience too frightened to want to know. Sometimes I think the latter is harder, because it's too easy to go over-the-top and become laughable.

Do dancers who excel in these roles -- many have been mentioned on Ballet Talk in recent years -- START OUT as character dancers? Or is this something that develops with age, wisdom, stage experience, and sometimes injury?
The careers of Kronstam, Englund, Helpman, even Ashton, seem to offer no single pattern. What about Nicolas Le Riche? Even Nureyev?
Posted 24 March 2006 - 03:56 PM
That's an interesting question. I think in some cases anatomy is destiny, i.e., the dancer is just not physically cast into heroic roles. In some ballet companies, there aren't many character roles in the rep. But in the companies where there is/was longevity and a rich tradition of mime and storytelling, like in the Royal Danish Ballet, dancing character roles or being a character dancer is respected and honorable. It's harder to find the role models for character roles when the rep has no story ballets or even to identify talent.
Do dancers who excel in these roles -- many have been mentioned on Ballet Talk in recent years -- START OUT as character dancers? Or is this something that develops with age, wisdom, stage experience, and sometimes injury?
Last year, PNB produced The Merry Widow. In it there is the role of the Bossy American at the cafe, which is a relatively small character part. Having only seen former Principal Character Dancer Viktoria Pulkinnen (sp?) in roles like Juliet's nurse, where she is padded, I had no idea what she looked like in person, and I assumed that it was she who was playing the Bossy American. It turned out to be a young corps dancers, Kari Brunson, who was fantastic in the role. In a post-performance Q&A after the Valentine program, Peter Boal mentioned that her striking impression in the role made him think that she had a dramatic talent that was underutilized, one of the reasons he thought of casting her in Susan Marshall's Kiss. Without that opportunity to do a character role, this might have gone unnoticed.

Often the latter, but Hagar was one of the first roles Kathleen Moore did -- and she did it brilliantly from the first.

Perhaps we (and artistic directors?) tend to think of Character Dancers as those relegated to that category because they lack the qualifications for Classical Dancers. But when I see a truly great performance of a character role, what strikes me first is the dancer's intelligence.
I would add Elaine Kudo to the list of dancers who excelled in character roles. I still miss her in Czardas in Swan Lake Act III.

Having loved Suzanne above all others in Diamonds (but you could replace Diamonds by the name of anything else she ever did and the statement would remain true...), I wonder if you could explain exactly what the Polish accent was.
You can add Suzanne Farrell bringing a strong Polish accent to Diamonds...
Posted 25 March 2006 - 10:50 PM
It came through mostly in the last movement, emphasis on downward movements of the legs, on folding the arms akimbo. There are suggestions of ethnic dancing in the choreography; the ballerina can take either a classical or character approach, and I haven't seen anyone stress them the way Farrell sometimes did.
I wonder if you could explain exactly what the Polish accent was.
Then there were the other times, when she took the classical approach.

Genentech won US FDA approval on Thursday (2/24/04) for its greatly anticipated new drug, Bevacizumab (Avastin). Bevacizumab is approved for use in previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.
Approval is based on the data from a phase III study presented at ASCO 2003. The study included just less than 1,000 patients with metastatic colon cancer randomized into three arms. These include: (1) 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin (LV), and Irinotecan, (the combination of these three chemotherapeutics is also known as the IFL or the Saltz regimen), (2) IFL with Bevacizumab and (3) 5-FU/LV and Bevacizumab alone. The results confirmed that patient survival increased by 30 percent, from 15.6 months to 20.3 months by the addition of Bevacizumab to the IFL regimen. Progression free survival was 6.2 months in the IFL group that did not receive Bevacizumab and 10.6 months in the group that did. This represents the largest improvement in survival time reported in a clinical study attributable to the addition of a single targeted agent to conventional chemotherapy.
Bevacizumab was very well tolerated. The only adverse event seen with significantly greater frequency in the Bevacizumab arm is elevation in blood pressure. There were no reports of grade 4 hypertension but a 10.9% incidence of grade 3 hypertension was seen. There were slightly higher incidences of proteinuria and thrombo-embolic events in the Bevacizumab treated groups.
Bevacizumab is known as an anti-angiogenesis agent that blocks the tumor cells Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Receptor. Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds directly to VEGF and prevents it from interacting with its receptor on the endothelial cell. By blocking the interaction between the receptor and its complementary protein, Bevacizumab interferes with any signals the protein may convey to the cell, such as signals to grow, divide, and invade.
Blood vessels are lined with cells called endothelial cells. For the most part these cells serve maintain the integrity of the blood vessels. However, various hormones and proteins can direct these cells. Cancer cells, for example, secrete proteins that command endothelial cells to grow and extend into the tumor mass itself. Once blood supply is established, the cancer can grow and thrive. One such protein is called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). VEGF is secreted by the tumor and acts on the VEGF receptors found on the endothelial cells. Once the VEGF protein binds to its complementary receptor on the endothelial cell, a number of signals or messages are initiated within the cell. These signals include cell activation and proliferation, cell survival and an increase in endothelial cell migration. Researchers who study angiogenesis investigate both the proteins secreted by tumors and the cells that they command. Researchers hope that by affecting the tumor's blood supply, the cancer growth may be stopped and the tumor may be eradicated.
As the tumor grows and recruits more and more blood supply, these small capillaries become very disorganized. There is lack of direction to the flow of blood and empty vessels may form. The chaotic vascular system that forms eventually results in increased pressure. As the pressure builds these vessels become leaky. To use an analogy, when more and more pressure builds with in a pipe due to increased or turbulent water flow, week joints in the pipes may begin to leak out water. Similarly, as pressure increases within the blood vessels, smaller proteins and plasma can ooze out. These proteins will have nowhere to go and will squeeze their way in between the tumor cells themselves. The build up of proteins and plasma in the tumor mass itself is called edema. As the edema builds, tumor cells will become more starved for oxygen and other nutrients. Lack of oxygen, in turn, causes the cancer cells to secrete even more VEGF and propagate this viscous cycle.
Beyond current approval, Genentech is looking to investigate Bevacizumab's application for use in breast, kidney, and lung cancers. Similarly, studies are on the way to examine the antibody's action in earlier stage colon caner and with other chemotherapy combinations. Other studies in pancreatic, ovarian, prostate and hematologic cancers are already on their way.
Bevacizumab will cost about $46,600 per patient for a typical treatment cycle of about eleven months. Gaining approval by the FDA will likely mean that it will be covered by insurance carriers; however, the true consequences remain to be seen.

Restoring LGF
February 10, 2013
OHIO HOUSE REP. Jack Cera is one of the co-sponsors of House Bill 17. The bill, should it eventually gain passage, would help channel hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the Ohio Valley....
How has safety been compromised? Crime might up a little but that's because of a decrease in funding but rather and increase in unemployment leading to an increase of drug use. Who cares about street lights? You want light in front of your house, then turn your porch light on and pay for it yourself. The facts are that the more money governments get, the less services citizens are provided. I say cut funding more!

How can I move MySQL tables from one physical server to another?
Such as this exact scenario: I have a MySQL server that uses innodb table and is about 20GB size.
I want to move it to a new server, what's the most efficient way to do this?
My favorite way is to pipe a sqldump command to a sql command. You can do all databases or a specific one. So, for instance,
You can do all databases with
The only problem is when the database is too big and the pipe collapses. In that case, you can do table by table or any of the other methods mentioned below.
I recently moved a 30GB database with the following stragegy:
Old Server
New Server
You don't even need mysqldump if you're moving a whole database schema, and you're willing to stop the first database (so it's consistent when being transfered)
I can't remember if mysqldump handles users and permissions, or just the data ... but even if it does, this is way faster than doing a dump & running it. I'd only use that if I needed to dump a mysql database to then re-insert into some other RDBMS, if I needed to change storage options (innodb vs. myisam), or maybe if I was changing major versins of mysql (but I think I've done this between 4 & 5, though)
According to the MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide, Chapter 32 Section 32.3.4, Pages 456,457 describe the Conditions for Binary Portability which bring out the following:
There are two major ways based on storage engine to move individual tables.
For the given example we will suppose the following:
MyISAM tables
If mydb.mytable uses the MyISAM storage engine, the table will physically be manifested as three separate files
The .frm contains the table structure
These files are used interdependently to represent the table from a logical standpoint in mysql. Since these file have no further logical association attach to it, migrating a table from one DB server to another. You can even to this from a Windows server to a Linux Server or a MacOS. Of course, you could shutdown mysql and copy the 3 table files. You could run the following:
in one ssh session to hold table as read only and hold the lock for 24 hours. One second later, perform the copy in another ssh session. Then kill the mysql session with the 24 hour lock. You need not wait 24 hours.
InnoDB tables
Based on the aforementioned quote from the Certification book, there are many factors that govern how to backup a specific InnoDB table. For sake of simplicity, clarity, and brevity, simply perform a mysqldump of the desired table using the --single-transaction parameters to have perfect point-in-time dump of the table. No need to cncern yourself with InnoDB semantics if you just want one table. You can reload that dumpfile to any MySQL server of your choose.
Since two questions were merged here (jcolebrand): EDIT
If you are more than willing to live with some slow DB performance, you can perform a series of rsyncs from the old server (ServerA) to the new server (ServerB) even while mysql is still running on ServerA.
Step 01) install the same version of mysql on ServerB that ServerA has
Step 02) On ServerA, run
Step 03) rsync /var/lib/mysql of ServerA to /var/lib/mysql on ServerB
Step 04) Repeat Step 03 until an rsync takes less than 1 minute
Step 05)
Step 06) Perform one more rsync
Step 07) scp ServerA:/etc/my.cnf to ServerB:/etc/.
Step 08)
Step 08)
Give it a Try !!!
You can create a replication slave like this. Just remember to have server-id explcitly set in the master /etc/my.cnf and a different number for server-id in the slave /etc/my.cnf
If you just want to move a specific table try:
You can specify more table names above, in the same command. Once the command completes, move the databasename.tablename.sql file to the other server and then restore using:
Note that the back .sql file is created using the mysqldump program, and the restore is done directly into mysql.
There might be this posibility where you move the actual database files ( for my install they are located at /var/lib/mysql ) , but i'm not realy shure how it will act/work out .
You're going to need to take a downtime. It's going to take a while depending on what your network speed is. I'm going to assume your running MySQL on Linux/Unix. Here's the process I use:
Then proceed as usual getting the local MySQL set up.
*Note: you can also use the -c parameter with rsync to add a checksum to the transfer, however this will be sloooow depending on CPU speed.
I think all of the earlier answers probably work fine, but don't really address the issue of setting a database name during the transfer.
This is how I just did it with bash:
You might be better off using
On my source server:
On my destination server:
On either machine to see progress:
This all assume you have MySQL configuration file in your home directory on both machines and set the permissions:
are you moving it to another mysql server db ? if so use, do an export on it
Generic linux method:
edit the datadir (and socket) for both mysqld and mysqld_safe (if applicable) to point to the new location, then
I posted this because no one seemed simply list out the least amount of steps to do this and I feel it's the simplest way personally.
I can confirm that DTest's method also works for copying between ubuntu and osx.
To copy all of the databases without having to do any dumping or similar:
Make sure you have a clean mysql of mysql (installed the dmg downloaded from mysql http://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.63-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg), that (VERY IMPORTANT) has never been run.
Copy the /var/lib/mysql/ folder contents from the ubuntu machine on top of /usr/local/mysql/data/ contents on the mac. To get access to get folder on the ubuntu machine I had to use sudo i.e.:
I copied the folder using scp.
Before you start take a copy of the mysql folder on the mac to make sure you don't mess up anything.
After copying the folder, do the following on the mac machine:
Start the mysql server for the first time (from the preferences pane under System Preferences->mysql). All users and databases should now be set up correctly.
This worked with mysql 5.1.61 on ubuntu 64 bit 11.10 and mysql 5.1.63 on osx lion (macbook pro).
Perhaps this is a better way of doing it:
Version 1: data-files copy (MYISAM only)
Version 2: mysqldump
Version 3: master/slave + mysqldump/file-copy
to copy small tables use:
I would suggest the two simple steps to transfer the entire database from one server to another.
Step 1: Do a full-backup of databases in source server using mysqldump.
Step 2: You can use rsync command to transfer the entire databases to the destination server.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

When dealing with finite dimensional representations over $\mathbb C$ of a compact group $G$, Character Theory provides us with a convenient way to determine whether two representations are isomorphic. Suppose that $W$, $V$ are two finite dimensional representations of $G$, and suppose we can compute their characters. Is there a convenient way to write down an explict isomorphism between $W$ and $V$?
My above question might be too vague. Let's look at an example, which motivates my question.
Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space, show that there are natural isomorphisms $\oplus_{j~even,j=0}^\infty S^{j}(V)\otimes E^{n-j}(V)=\oplus_{j~odd,j=0}^\infty S^j(V)\otimes E^{n-j}(V), n>0.$ where $ S^{j}(V)$ is the degree $j$ part of the symmetric algebra of $V$, $E^{j}(V)$ is the degree $j$ part of the exterior algebra of $V$. Naturality can be interpreted as "isomorphic as representation of $GL(V)$".
I've tried to directly write down an isomorphism but didn't manage it. I observed that "isomorphic as repn of $GL(V)$" is equivalent to isomorphic as repn of $SU(V)$ (when chosen a metric) since $GL(V)$ and $SU(V)$ generate the same subalgebra in $End(V)$, by density theorem. Now Character Theory apply and we can easily compute the character of both sides. For examples, if $\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n$ are the eigenvalues of the linear operator $T$, then the eigenvalues of the induces operator on $E^j(V)$ are the $ \lambda_{i_1}\cdots\lambda_{i_j},i_1< \ldots < i_j$. In this way, we can prove the existence of an expected isomorphism.
Now my question is, can we unwrap the Character Theory to yield an explict formula for the promised isomorphism? Of course, it will also be appreciated if you can write down a formula without the aid of Character Theory.

These Parents Are Involved, but They're Getting Nowhere
Nobody expected California's education establishment to roll over and play dead in the face of one of the most significant reforms to come along in decades. The question is whether the rejection of the Compton parents' petition to reform a failing elementary school under the state's "parent trigger law" represents a major defeat or a mere setback ("Crushing Hopes in Compton," Review & Outlook, March 2).
Yes, the Compton Unified School District board of trustees denied the parents' petition on the lamest of pretexts. Yes, the new state board of education has delayed permanent regulations and may or may not extend emergency regulations which the previous board approved last summer. And yes, the state legislature is weighing cleanup legislation that could easily dilute the law and "lock" the parent trigger. That's the bad news.
Here's the good news: The Compton parents will have their day in court on March 22. The parent trigger law remains in force, with or without regulations. And even if opponents of parent empowerment succeed in their cleanup effort—hardly a foregone conclusion—any new law would take effect no sooner than Jan. 1, 2012. That means parents still have ample opportunity to vindicate their rights and the rights of their children.
