For Bud Coleman, associate professor and department chair in the Department of Theatre and Dance, a Fulbright grant to teach in Japan was an opportunity to open a window on American identity for Japanese students.
A CU-Boulder faculty member since 1993, Coleman lectured on American culture as portrayed in musical theatre, American drama, and film at Waseda University and Kyoritsu Women's University in Tokyo in 2009-10. The students, who spoke fluent English, were American studies majors preparing for international careers in business or law.
"We talked about the American Dream and how that often is a motif in a play, musical or film," Coleman said. "In Japan, being a part of a group is more important than individuality. That is a radically different ideology from what it means to be a citizen and to be successful in America."
In the musical theatre class, Coleman presented a variety of material, from "Chicago" to "Dreamgirls." He also taught a class analyzing the depictions of African Americans in American film, from the 1967 classic "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" to movies directed by Spike Lee that examine race relations in contemporary America.
To enhance their understanding of American culture, Coleman put the material into the context of location and time. In his discussion on "A Streetcar Named Desire," he talked about New Orleans geography and culture in early 1950s.
What Coleman hoped the Japanese students would get out of his classes was the same broadening perspective on the wider world he presents to students at CU-Boulder—that the visual is a powerful medium encoded with multiple layers of information and point-of-view.
"My experience in Japan of thinking about plays, musicals and films as more than dramatic literature or art has changed the way I teach theatre," he said. "I incorporate that new perspective into my classes here at CU-Boulder."

Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel need both side vertical scroll bar
Hi friends
How to make vertical scroll bars to both side(left and right) of Ext.grid.EditorGridPanel. Now my panel has vertical scroll bar on right side and a horizontal scroll bar. Now user want a scroll bar in left side too.
Can anybody help me. I goggled , but failed to find out the solution
Thanks in advance

As far as I'm aware there is no default way to achieve this.
You will most likely have to write / find a plugin to achieve this. One such example:

Register Globals in PHP
Information : http://php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
This is by far the worst feature to be ever implemented for readability reasons and security reasons. Basicly all the GET parameter received are transformed into variables.
For example with this URL : /index.php?value=foobar
You can do the following :
When you are reading code, it is very confusing to know where the variable comes from.
Also if the feature is misused, it can lead to security hole. Here's a code example from php.net that shows how it can be misused :
Allow Null by default, the "trillion"* dollar mistake. Sorry Tony Hoare. Almost every language available on planet.
*I adjusted the expression coined by Tony Hoare to reflect actual loss on these days :-)
C and C++ MACROS. If I ever have to see another compiler error due to someone choosing a standard function name for their macro which screws up my code I'm going to scream. Let's see the last offending one:
Aaarg! What have you done with my STL vector!?
Fallthrough by default in C and C++ switch statements.
Implicit type conversions when the types being converted between have no obvious relationship. For example, converting a random, non-numerical
goto: although ok in rare cases, it is more often misused and leads to hard to read programs.
Just because a feature gets misused frequently does not make it harmful.
IMHO the entire "is considered harmful" is the Reductio ad Hitlerum of programming language discussions.
Most, if not all, of the "harmful" features have, or had originally, a very valid use case or are simply convenience methods in the first place. It is up to the developers to understand the pros and cons and code accordingly.
If your questions was meant to be something along the lines of "what language features have common pitfalls or unfortunate side-effects" my answer would be different.
[edit] To be clear: I do not mean the continued use of deprecated methods. If the developers are depreciating/removing a feature you should use the replacement. I am referring to concept that a current part of the language is considered harmful because some do not like what it encourages or the trade-off involved in using it that many people discuss.
Autovivification (or other bind-variable-on-(assign|use) feature) is the feature which I've found to give me the most bugs.
"Failing silently" in Flash Player as default behavior
Ok, not really a feature of the language itself but still pretty closely related.
Suddenly your Flash/Flex application stops working and nobody can give you the slightest hint what the f* has happened. No error message, no stacktrace, no nothing. It's just that suddenly the screen transition doesn't happen (or happens in a completely wrong way), or buttons don't react to clicks any longer, or comboboxes are empty instead of being populated with some entries.
That "feature" alone is responsible for several shrug reports and a whole bunch of gray hair I've been getting. -.- While popping up some cryptic message in the user's face isn't desirable either, it can at least help the developer getting the problem fixed.
But Flash Player leaves you stabbing around in the dark, relying on the user's description (while the problem may actually originate from a completely different location in the code that doesn't have anything to do with what the user was doing). Only if you use the Debug Player you actually get the popup window with an error message and a stacktrace.
However, it can be quite interesting to watch flash embedded movies on certain news sites and get repeated messages about Null references from the used embedded player SWF. :D
Although some folks disagree with the man or various things he says, a lot of Douglas Crockford's JavaScript: The Good Parts is basically this question applied to JS. Amongst Crockford's complaints:
Really a whole lot of JS should be considered harmful, maybe even the whole language, but the good parts are just so darn good that it kind of makes up for it (at least for me.)
In C/C++: That assignments are also expressions COMBINED WITH the very similar assignment = and comparison == operators. Not a harmful feature per se, but it's way to easy to introduce (sometimes subtle) bugs by accidentally mistyping the operator.
Access modifiers in Java with package private language default and private programming convention default.
Replacing undefined variables by an empty string in shell without any warnings:
The ability to turn counterclockwise in LOGO. Wtf, lets just turn clockwise
Stopping Thread from an other Thread
In Java and in other language you could stop a thread from an other one arbitrarily without giving the time for the thread you stopped to finish properly. This ability have been deprecated considering the huge amount of problem it could bring in nearly all situation.
Variable Variables in PHP
Just because you
Arrays in AWK starting at index 1!
In Perl, scalar context vs. list context can be tricky. It's got some good points that make certain operations convenient, but occasionally you run into something terrible, like completely changing the meaning of an operator (potentially from a significant distance away in the code).
That's just not right.
(It arises from trying to make something that acts sort of like the regular range operator, so you can say something in a loop like
Python 2.x's relative import syntax. Suppose I have a package
The answer is that the module will try to import itself. What this syntax does is essentially make it impossible to import the actual global sqlalchemy package. Python 2.5 added a way to specify that this is a relative import:
...but it isn't until Python 3 that the first syntax was actually gotten rid of (although it can be disabled in Python 2.6+ with
sun.misc.unsafe is my alltime favorite; the collection of "we needed this to implement things, but really, really don't think you should use it."
FORTRAN common blocks. If you made a simple mistake, one part of an application could clobber another part's globals.
FORTRAN assigned goto statement / COBOL alter statement. Self-modifying code. Danger, warning, flying spaghetti monsters!!
Object Orientation (from all statically typed languages). I'll wager this feature has, and will continue, to cost vastly more than null pointers. Object Orientation is only good in a dynamic message passing language. So it should be dropped from dynamic languages like Python too (since it doesn't use message passing but conventional subroutine calling).
Unexperienced developers either rely on it being enabled and thus assume all user input to be escaped for use in a SQL query or rely on it being disabled and thus always escape their input.
When assuming it's enabled and then running the code on a system where it's not it opens gaping wide SQL injection holes.
When assuming it's disabled and it's not, it will result in backslashes being actually stored in the DB, causing ugly/incorrect strings.
There is also no extremely simple way to handle both cases - you need to check if it's enabled using
going out a bit on a limb here - void functions. a function always does something, hence it should either return the result or some other bit of information regarding its success or failure.
POKE in BASIC...
I'd have to say garbage collection. It does not eliminate the need to think about memory management, but it eliminates the perception of the need to think about memory management, which all too often eliminates the actual thought, and then you get enormous resource hogs and don't know why. Especially when the behavior of modern generational GCs could be described without too much hyperbole as "one big memory leak by design" anyway.
The language feature that allows programmers to write uncommented or meaningless-commented code.
C, and definitely C++: Pointer arithmetic. Allowing people to convert integers into memory addresses is asking for trouble.
And maybe even raw access to pointers altogether?
In C++ you have references that makes pointers almost completely unnecessary. For the remaining cases smart pointers should be considered mandatory.
Java is also proves that you can make a programming language that uses pointers without allowing people access to the pointer value itself.

Tuition Reimbursement
Tuition reimbursement is a powerful benefit offered by many employers to cultivate talented employees for managerial positions or to retain talent. While most employers who offer tuition reimbursement (also known as tuition assistance) outline the company policy in the employee benefits, some do not—so it's important to ask.
Before deciding to take advantage of these benefits, you should understand the guidelines and restrictions companies can place on such programs. Sponsors may only cover courses in the core curriculum, and then only in certain majors (for example, accounting, business, or finance). If a student wants to take courses outside of the curriculum, they may need to provide proof the classes were required for the major.
Additionally, sponsors often do not include textbook and other auxiliary college or program costs—such as student activity fees—as part of a tuition reimbursement plan. You can expect to be responsible for some out-of-pocket charges that potentially can add up to a few hundred dollars.
Some sponsors could include the requirement that you remain with the company a certain length of time after you complete the degree. If not, tuition benefits may need to be repaid. Your employer may require that the program is finished within a certain a period of time. You should ensure that your employer's time frame coincides with that of your chosen program length. Additionally, if you discontinue or drop courses, you may have to immediately repay the money to your employer while waiting for a refund from the university, if you are to receive a refund at all.
You are usually responsible for the administration behind the courses—varying waiting periods, managerial approvals, documentation from the school, and so on—but it's well worth the effort.

In my mind, algebraic topology is comprised of two components:
- Chain complex information, which is intrinsic information concerning how your object may be built up out of simple "lego blocks".
- Characteristic classes (bundle information) which give information on how your object might stably embed in some sufficiently big standard object.
Chain complexes make sense over any abelian category.
I have no corresponding intuitive understanding of what the "natural setting" for characteristic classes should be. The classical theory looks to me like a concession to the sad fact that, at its very basis, manifolds are locally modeled on Euclidean space and are not intrinsically defined objects. This is reflected in the central role played by specific concrete spaces such as the Thom spaces MSO(n), the real and complex Grassmanians used to define Wu classes, and the classifying spaces BU and BO concerning which we have Bott periodicity.
I realize that I have no understanding of any of this. Part of this feeling is because I really don't understand what forces us to consider these specific concrete spaces, to the exclusion of all others. If constants appearing in physics ought to be conceptually explained, I'd like to understand these "constants" in mathematics. Can one work with characteristic classes in a more general setting, to parallel abelian categories? What about over number fields, over arbitrary rings, or in finite characteristic? Can I replace Lie groups such as SO(n), U(n), and O(n) by groups of Lie type for instance, and still have a "useful" theory?
My question is then:
What is the most general categorical setting for a "useful" theory of characteristic classes? In particular, are all of those special concrete spaces really necessary, and if so, why?

I'm trying to make frozen yogurt manually (no machine), but I would like it to be soft-scoop. My first batches froze hard (tasty but hard), regardless of whether I stirred them every half-hour or not. I was advised to try Arabic gum, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Am I trying the correct additive? If not, what should I be trying?
Basically you can't actually make soft-serve style yogurt in a regular freezer. It's just too cold.
However, you can make it softer by doing one or more of the following:
An ice cream machine can also produce a result that you can serve up quickly after making so that you never get to the "hardening" stage that American-style ice creams go through when you put them in the freezer after churning.
I don't use gums in my ice creams, but the advantage that they give you has more to do with stabilization of the ice crystals, not softening, as far as I understand. They primarily help cope with the conditions of transport, as you tend to slightly melt the ice cream/frozen yogurt when you take it home from the store and then you refreeze it.
If the gums don't work, can you just not freeze it quite as cold? I wouldn't alter your freezer temp if you have other food in it, but could you put it inside an insulated bag, inside the freezer, and not let it get to 0 degrees F? I think I read somewhere that the main difference after milkfat content between ice cream and gelato is that gelato is not frozen to as cold a temperature, which is what makes its consistency different. May not be true, but worth a try.
Add vanilla extract which contains alcohol. Most frozen yogurt/icecream recipes call for Vanilla flavoring anyways.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)__From Idaho to Las Vegas, to Topeka, Kansas, Mayetta boxer Marcus Oliveira has been punching his way through the light heavyweight boxing ranks
Now just one man stands between him and the World Boxing Association title belt.
When Marcus Oliveira enters the ring against WBA champion Beibut Shumenov he'll be fulfilling a dream. One that he recognizes took a whole lot of sacrifices to get to.
Marcus Oliveira has taken a long winding road to get his name in the spotlight. Taking fights that paid very little and having to work full time while fighting opponents that dedicated their hours to training.
While managing his narcolepsy condition and juggling a full time job everything changed with a three punch knockout blow to light heavyweight Ryan Coyne in mid-April, and Marcus became the world's top contender in his division.
He says, "Fantasy became more reality. Now I am meeting all the top promoters and top fighters and I'm on the radar. I never thought I'd be mentioned in the same breath as Bernard Hopkins."
Through all the hard work, Marcus isn't use to losing, and his undefeated 25-0-1 record as a professional proves just that. To win the WBA title would also mean a lot to his small town community.
Oliveira said, "I think the kids can relate better because I am from a small town and not from somewhere across on the other side of the country, I'm right here."
If all goes as planned the man who represents the state of Kansas, the Potawatomie and Menominee nations, will have a new nickaname. "The Champ."
Oliveira currently holds the WBA and NABC Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.
While the championship fight with Beibut Shumenov has yet to be scheduled this year, Oliveira plans to continue his training and work at the Prairie Band Casino as he has before all his previous fights.

Why does Fibonacci recursive procedure works so long?
This is in OCaml:
let rec fib n = if n<2 then n else fib (n-1) + fib (n-2);;
This is in Mathematica:
Fib[n_] := If[n < 2, n, Fib[n - 1] + Fib[n - 2]]
This is in Java:
public static BigInteger fib(long n) {
if( n < 2 ) {
return BigInteger.valueOf(n);
else {
return fib(n-1).add(fib(n-2));
n=100 it works for a long time, because, I guess, it traces tree with
2^100 nodes in time.
Although, there are only 100 numbers to generate, so it could consume just 100 memory registers and 100 calculation tacts.
So, execution could be optimized.
What does this task about and how is it solved? Since solution does not implemented in Mathematica it probably doesn't exist. What about research on this matter?

Game Idea for Aspiring Leaders
Hey Everyone!
I am writing because I am need of some help on my game design. I am currently working on a 6 week long, educational game for people who want to learn more about leadership.
At this point, I have no great ideas about how to make this game fun and engaging. My ideas up to now have focused around a point system and some sort of scoreboard...but that's about it! Sad, I know.
To give you a brief background on the format of my 6 week module...here you go...
The game will last 6 weeks with each week "themed". Each theme will last 5 days (1 work week). At the end of each "themed" week there will be some sort of challenge requiring the user to demonstrated their abilities based on what they learned.
That's about it. Any comments, questions, or concerns would be much appreciated!
If you are still reading this post, thanks and hope to hear from you.

Thanks for responding so quickly!!!
With regards to your questions....
Is this a group game?
YES (and no)...users will be charged with tasks to be completed throughout the week to be completed on their own (or within the workplace), but ideally will be responsible to other group members as well as paired with them during the end of the week "challenges"
A board game or an electronic game?
Users will receive daily emails with instructions, study materials, etc. to be worked on that day...ideally building towards the end of the week "challenge". Based on how we build the game, I can easily envision a website associated with the game that users can view in order to see a "leaderboard" or access extra information.
How long should a play session be?
How we would like to market this game is; short daily activities/assignments - possibly worth something for completing that last 15 min max. Ideally building towards a slightly more substantial activity/assignment at the end of each weekly "challenge". The entire game should last 6 weeks.
Does that help? Thanks so much for your insight,

Are you thinking of something along the lines of an ARG?
Junior Member
Possibly. I am most concerned with at the moment with how to make the game competitive and/or engaging for people to participate? (i.e. how can I structure it?)
Senior Member
Ok, so just a quick rundown of the requirements:
-game has to be educational, with a focus on developing leadership skills.
-at the end of each week there is a challenge relating to a particular theme. During that week players are expected to prepare for the challenge
-the players work on their own, but come together in groups to compete in the challenge.
-the players communicate via email and a website, physical contact should not be necessary
The reason why I asked about the ARG is because a key element of an ARG is that players receive clues they have to piece together in order to advance in the game.
I'm thinking along the lines of each player receives a series of tasks that get rewarded with different parts that need to be assembled for the challenge. With the exception of one task, each task is shared by one or more members on their team. If the members fail to communicate, they will end up having wasted valuable time with parts they don't need.
Say for example the challenge was to build a race car that would race against other groups. Each task would lead to a different piece of the car (a wheel, engine part, etc). Person 1 might have tasks that lead to a steering wheel, wheel and a headlight. Person 2 might have tasks that lead to a steering wheel, a break and an engine. If they don't coordinate properly with each and teammates,they will end up with a car with two steering wheels and no engine.
-the tasks themselves could take the form of puzzles or quizzes they email to the game master (either you or an automated checking system) who then emails a code for a part. At the challenges they then email the codes back to the game master for their parts. Parts could be assembled in a GUI applet manually as part of the challenge or the game master could give them the assembled piece and the challenge is just how they control what they're given.
hope this helps somewhat.
Junior Member
That helps a great deal! I am meeting with my partner on this project later today and will present your suggestion. I'll get back to you ASAP....
Again, your help is much appreciated!
Junior Member
Your ideas certainly sparked some conversation...below are a few of our thoughts....
1. Can we somehow create a strictly "points" based game that creates a "leaderboard" effect. If so, any thoughts on how that might work?
2. We want the game to resemble more of an incremental climb to the Friday challenge, and really like the idea of quizzes, tasks, etc. Although are thoughts they could be more application based.
3. How can we set it up so users don't have to communicate with us regularly, outside of the Friday Challenge?
I think that's it for now...any insight would be appreciated!
Senior Member
1) With quizzes, their scores could be automatically uploaded to the leaderboard via script (see #3). Perhaps completing a task reveals the answer to an otherwise impossible quiz question?
2) What types of themes will the challenges be? Application should probably depend on that.
3) The players submit their scores to a special server that runs a grading script which automatically updates the leaderboard based on # of resubmissions and score. I know this can be done because it's essentially how my homework is graded, though I don't know how to do this myself. Note that since this game is new, you'll likely run into all sorts of problems and so players will probably want to contact you outside of Friday challenges regardless.

1) With quizzes, their scores could be automatically uploaded to the leaderboard via script (see #3). Perhaps completing a task reveals the answer to an otherwise impossible quiz question?
I like the idea of tasks revealing/unlocking the next day's quiz...however, I am still stumped on how to assign point value (100%, 50%) on silly quizzes. Its to much like school...any suggestions on how to assess users in a more engaging and fun way?
2) What types of themes will the challenges be? Application should probably depend on that.
Each week with have a designated leadership oriented theme, and each day of that week will focus either on personal development or application (outside of the Friday Challenge). In this case, application would mean demonstrating the skills they learn about in the workplace and then somehow developing some system to assign a point value to it (i.e. should they develop some sort of reflection artifact?)
3) The players submit their scores to a special server that runs a grading script which automatically updates the leaderboard based on # of resubmissions and score. I know this can be done because it's essentially how my homework is graded, though I don't know how to do this myself. Note that since this game is new, you'll likely run into all sorts of problems and so players will probably want to contact you outside of Friday challenges regardless.
I certainly like the autograding idea. However, as I mentioned in Q1...I am envisioning more of a self-grading or less quantitative way of assessing them and focus more on how they can perform and find some unique way for them to accumulate points based on that performance? Make sense?
Thanks for the help..I really appreciate being able to bounce ideas of you.

These new positions were created at Laurier Brantford to provide support for the transition to a multi-Faculty campus and the multi-campus organizational structure. The Faculty of Liberal Arts and the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences were established at Laurier Brantford in July.
Carters main responsibilities include: overseeing the academic advising unit at Laurier Brantford; integrating new academic policies & procedures as required for multi-faculty operations at Laurier Brantford; and providing leadership in coordinating curriculum offerings at Laurier Brantford among the faculties, particularly in support of the Brantford Foundations program. The associate dean, academic coordination will also be the primary liaison among the associate deans of the undergraduate programs offered in Brantford for issues relating to curriculum and scheduling coordination and associated development of academic policies.
Eisler will focus on supporting the development of new programs and curriculum (undergraduate and graduate) to be offered at Lauriers Brantford campus, including programs developed in collaboration with faculties in Waterloo and Kitchener. As appropriate, she will support the offering of courses and/or programs originating at Brantford at other Laurier locations. The associate dean, academic development will supervise the coordinator, academic program support to ensure synchronization of new program planning in Brantford. To facilitate program expansion and development at Laurier Brantford, the position will work closely with: chairs, program coordinators, associate deans, deans; the manager, academic development and program review; and external partners, including other universities and colleges.
I am thrilled that two such accomplished and dedicated faculty members, both of whom have provided extensive leadership and support to the Brantford campus and the university, will be taking on these roles, said Deb MacLatchy, vice-president: academic & provost. I look forward to working with Kate and Lauren to further develop and integrate the Brantford campuss academic programs and program supports.
Carter joined Laurier Branford in 2000 as a faculty member in the contemporary studies program, and has served as program coordinator for English, as well as acting dean at the Brantford campus. Most recently, she was the associate dean prior to the creation of two faculties in Brantford.
Eisler joined the criminology program in 2004, and has served as program coordinator for both Criminology and Law and Society. She assumed the role of assistant dean, program development in January 2011.
Carter and Eisler will report directly to the vice-president: academic as they will have both multi-faculty and multi-campus responsibilities to integrate activities among faculties operating in Brantford, Kitchener and Waterloo. An associate dean position at Laurier reporting to the vice-president: academic is not unique to Laurier Brantford; this reporting relationship has been in place with the associate dean for the School of International Policy and Governance (SIPG) since 2009 as a result of the inter-faculty, inter-institutional, and interdisciplinary nature of the SIPG, which is associated with the Balsillie School of International Affairs.
These are three-year appointments, during which time the incumbents will be expected to develop the positions and their responsibilities in alignment with the academic priorities and of the university and the universitys academic plan. It is expected that both positions will evolve as the transition to a multi-faculty campus at Laurier Brantford advances.

Money Saving Ideas for Back-to-School Shopping
Get savvy tips for saving cash on your children's school supplies
Back to school time usually means heading to the mall to rack up some big bills. However, savvy moms are planning ahead and mapping out money saving ideas for back to school shopping.
Clothing for less
Before hitting the trendy shops, organize a clothing swap in your neighborhood. Have all the moms bring their family's clean, lightly-worn goods to the swap. Assign points for each garment brought to the swap and trade sizes. Your too-small loafers and sweaters are someone else's treasure. Consignment stores are another spot to find fall clothing in good condition. Jackets can be spruced up with the purchase of a new scarf and gloves in trendy colors.
Take stock of supplies
School supplies are a category where smart moms can score big savings with a few money saving ideas. First, when you get the school supply list, take inventory of what you have on hand. Have your kids chip in to help patrol the home for school supplies scattered in the home office, bedrooms and kitchen. You'll be surprised at how many scissors, pens, compasses, etc. you dig up.
Split the shopping
When you've narrowed down your shopping list, it's time to comparison shop. If you've got a membership to a large warehouse savings store such as Costco, consider buying supplies in bulk and dividing up the items between two or three families. Check online coupons and store fliers for the best savings. Again, use your mom network. One mom can make the trip to her nearby drugstore for great prices on glue and rulers, while another mother tracks down the best deal on crayons and highlighters. Time is money, so splitting these tasks up makes good sense.
Pack up big lunch savings
Last year's lunch box probably just needs a good cleaning (and maybe a few new stickers) to be school ready. This year, vow to stop spending top dollar on expensive, one-use juice boxes and milk cartons. Instead, invest in a fun, reusable water container. Water Geeks and Sigg are two wonderful brands of stainless steel water containers to consider. Both brands are non-leaching and BPA-free, and come in hip colors and prints. The next step on the lunch makeover is to hunt down reusable snack and sandwich containers. Vow to use Ziplocs and tin foil sparingly. Instead, opt for a waste-free lunch kit from Kids Konserve. This kit includes a sack, two stainless steel food containers, a beverage bottle, food cozy and cloth napkin. Thrifty moms can make their own lunch kits by snapping up small Tupperware containers at yard sales in fun colors.
Remember that this school year, your money saving ideas are limited only by your own imagination.

"It will be simulated ammunition," said chief Barry Bonner. "It will look and sound like a real incident."
Bonner said kids from the Sterlington High School will play the role of students. He said several other agencies will be present as well.
The Active Shooter Class is Jan. 12. Admission is free and the public is invited. Everyone will meet at 8:30 a.m. at the town hall and then go to Al Smith School (Sterlington Elementary.) The gunman simulation will begin at 1:30 p.m.

WINTERSVILLE - If you check "made in" labels before buying, Larry's All American is the place for you.
The shop, located at 215 Main St., sells everything from tools and housewares to toys, jeans and T-shirts, all of them made here in the U.S.
"I've been thinking about this for quite a few years," said Foldi, a Bloomingdale resident. "I'm tired of picking things up and seeing 'Made in China.' I thought I'd give people a chance to buy something 'Made in the U.S.A."
Article Photos
GRAND OPENING — Members of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, including Chamber President Sue Hershey, help Larry's All American owner Larry Foldi, fourth from left, and Wintersville Village Council President Robert Martin Sr. celebrate the grand opening of the store at 215 Main St, Wintersville. The shop only sells items carrying the "Made in America" label. - Contributed
Foldi stocks jeans made in North Carolina, as well as American Tees, toys, tools, housewares and gloves. There's even pottery from Homer Laughlin China Co. in Newell and mugs from American Mug & Stein in East Liverpool.
"We have quality products at reasonable prices, American-made products that you can walk in and purchase," he said.
He said it's a different kind of shopping experience, but one people seem to appreciate.
"From the response we've had, people going past and the ones who've walked in, I think we're getting a positive response," he said.
Wintersville Council President Robert Martin Sr. said it's the kind of thing they like to see in the village.
"We always appreciate new business in Wintersville," he said. "I think a store of this nature is very unique, there's nothing like it around here. We're business-friendly in Wintersville."
Larry's All American is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays; 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays; noon to 7 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; noon to 5 p.m. Fridays; and closed Tuesdays. For information, call Larry's at (740) 275-4471.

Virtual people, real foodPosted Thursday, August 9, 2007, at 11:58 AM
It's true. Virtual people are now making real food. The marketing concept hopes that the values of good old Mayberry, the setting of'The Andy Griffith Show" will translate into big sales. CBS Consumer products has given a whole new meaning to the words "TV dinner."
It's not an altogether new concept ... for years we've seen our favorite actors, sports figures and cartoon characters endorsing all sorts of things, even fictional or based-on-a-real person brands have been marketing staples for years. But this goes a step further.
CBS has launched a new line of "Mayberry's Best" foods. Yes, you, too, can get Aunt Bea's home cookin' in a can, or her biscuits in a box
The hope is that the buying public will believe they, too, can have a slice of southern comfort food by opening a can or box labeled "Mayberry's best."
Now Nearly everyone knows Aunt Bea had to be a good cook. Mayberryans were always cooking, or dining out, or picnicing, or preparing jams and jellies for the fair. CBS Consumer Products has even given a line from the show a new version of immortality by making it the product line's tag line "Eatin' speaks louder than words!"
But will it be good? Chances are, test kitchens have done their best, and some will find these tasty. As for me, I've never had anything that came out of a can that was as good as Mama's cookin,' but that's where this line has a better-than-average chance. Nobody's ever really had Aunt Bea's cooking, so who's going to argue that they didn't get it right?

There was once a man named, or at least called himself, William Least Heat-Moon. That was NOT his real name. He was a professor at MU in Columbia. The same year he was divorced and lost his tenure, he packed his Ford station wagon, threw the trusted dog in the front seat and set about traveling the lesser roads around the perimeter of our country. He wrote a book about these purported "Travels With Charlie," and called it "Blue Highways." It was a totally interesting book telling of the adventures, misadventures, the people and most everything else of interest during his months long voyage in his dilapidated station wagon.
One thing in the book that I have not forgotten, even after all these many years, was his description of the many and varied foods he ate. Here he talks about the "three calendar" cafes. These are the mom and pop cafes that sport at least three large agri calendars on their walls. These are usually the Garst and Thomas seed corn calendars. At least you can get the picture. According to William, (I can't remember his real name), those were the places to eat that served food just the way Aunt Mabel used to make.
About the "Mayberry" foods. I think Barney Fife said it best, "lets nip it in the bud, nip it in the bud."

The terms DVCS and Git seem to be thrown around a lot. Are there any applications for this technology if I'm not a programmer, but just a regular "superuser"?
Author Cory Doctorow got some geek friends to write FlashBake to commit his work every 15 minutes along with some other information.
His blog post about FlashBake talks much more about the motivation, usefulness and details.
Bazaar is an excellent DVCS that is very user friendly for novices. It'd be very helpful if you were doing something that involved tracking changes to text (writing a book?)
I personally use a git repo to keep track of change i'm making in my /etc, or in other folder with some important informations.
I would say that a VCS (distributed or not) is useful to keep track on changes on items, not necessarily source codes.
mmm my wife was using git with her friends for doing a collaborative work, so they could be "fusioning" their work at the end of each journey
Our company is putting a version control system for our Power Point presentations. We work in professional education, and the sheer number of Power Point presentations and other marketing material that is floating around between two or three people is staggering.
We're going to use a VCS to eliminate the clutter, and if someone inside the company wants a copy? Just browse to the VCS and grab the latest revision.
We're probably going to go with VisualSVN, since it's one of the easier ways for us to setup a 'set it and forget it' VCS for our LAN.
Good version control systems are specifically for programmers, although they are optimised for plain text files. I recommend SVN using Tortoise if you are on Windows.
Bazaar is definitely the most user friendly of the distributed RCSs I've tried.
If you're on Windows, File Hamster is a commercial app aimed to be RCS (with distributed for enterprise IIUC) for non-programmers:
I used to use it to track changes to illustrations (UI is great, developers are very friendly and nice), but I switched over to Bazaar.
There is also versomatic for non-programmers, but it isn't distributed AFAIK:
Dropbox is in many cases a better solution than a VCS for a "superuser" who wants some of the benefits of a VCS but who isn't a programmer looking for source code control.
Dropbox ( http://www.dropbox.com ) is not, strictly speaking, a version control system. It does use git behind the scenes, however, and offers most of the version control features a non-programmer user would want for file storage:
The main downside to Dropbox is that the free service offers "only" 2GB. That's still quite a lot, depending on your intended use.
As I said, Dropbox is not a true version control system, certainly not something that would suffice for programmers who want source code version control. It may be a better option for non-programmer power users who want to have some of the advantages of version control, though.
Mercurial works fine for non-programming tasks. Keep back versions of pretty much any documents you work on. It's not as efficient dealing with binary files as with text, but for small scale environments it's probably still fine. Get TortoiseHg for simple installation and ease of use. What kind of files are you looking to manage, and is it just for you or for a group of people? The answers to those questions are key to deciding on the right system to use.
I actually tend to use RCS (not distributed, I know) for my school papers. Mostly because I'm lazy and it's so easy to put a file under RCS in Emacs, and I'm afraid to write without version control -- what if I decide I didn't want to delete that paragraph after all?
If I was going to write something big enough that I would want my text in multiple files, I would definitely use a DVCS for that, probably Bazaar.
As for reasons to use a DVCS rather than a plain-old VCS,

We are an institution rich in people and history. As we celebrated during our recent Centennial, few law schools can match our contributions to the advancement of legal theory and practice, the diversity of our faculty and student body, the accomplishments of our public interest programs and our reputation for outstanding academic quality and a progressive tradition. All these elements combine to make Rutgers–Newark an extraordinary environment for producing lawyers dedicated to social justice and excellence in the profession.
Our law professors are prominent scholars and experts in established and emerging areas of law who challenge and inspire students in an intense yet supportive environment. Our students come to us from around the world, bringing wide-ranging backgrounds and perspectives that enrich discourse in the classroom and throughout the law school community. Our graduates serve with distinction as members of the bench and bar, and generously provide support and resources to current students.
Rutgers is a wonderful place to study law and to train for an exciting and fulfilling career. I strongly encourage you to visit us and see for yourself the exceptional education, culture, and inspiration that mark the Rutgers–Newark law school experience.

text: Another thing that is associated with Easter is flowers. I made a flower that can be used for any purpose so don't be afraid to use this flower for other things as well. Here is "how to draw an Easter flower", step by step. Easter lilies are such pretty blooms because they are so pure and delicate looking. Some of the things that you see in the stores are Easter lilies in small or large pots that have colored foil hiding the actual pot because as you know these plants are sold in those cheesy plastic containers. The one thing I think I could have done better with is the actual background. It's really dark, but you can lighten things up by using a pastel color that is often seen during the Easter holiday. Have fun drawing an Easter flower folks. I will be back in a bit.

I am not interested in the philosophical part of this question :-)
When I look at mathematics, I see that lots of different logics are used : classical, intuitionistic, linear, modal ones and weirder ones ...
For someone new to the field, it is not easy to really see what they have in common for justifying the use of the word "logic". Is it just because of a filiation with classical logic ?
I have attempted to find an answer in the literature. Some papers are telling me that a logic is a pre-order. It is not a satisfactory answer to me. I imagined that it may be related to the use of some specific connectors : but linear logic is telling me it is not so simple. I imagined that it may be related to some symmetry properties of the rules of the system : but it is dependent on how the logic is formalized. Then, I had the crazy idea (after discovering the Curry-Howard isomorphism) that it may be related to the computational content of the system. But, it is obviously wrong.
So, I have not progressed and I am still wondering if there may be a point of view allowing to see what all these systems have in common ?
I have avoided the use of the word "truth" in this question. I am expecting a mathematical answer if there is one. There are too many philosophical problems related to the notion of truth.
But, perhaps my question is a naive one ...

The February meeting of the IAAP Executive Committee was held for several years in Einsiedeln, usually with a welcome gathering at Daimon Verlag, the Jungian publishing house begun by Robert Hinshaw, a Zurich analyst and formerly an IAAP Vice-President.
Einsiedeln, a small town in the mountains of Schwyz, is about an hour by train from Zurich. It is the birthplace of Paracelsus on 11 November or 17 December 1493. Paracelsus, a Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and occultist was highly revered by Jung.
Einsiedeln is also the home a Benedictine Abbey and of the Black Madonna, a miracle-working statue of the Virgin Mary given to St. Meinrad by the Abbess Hildegarde of Zürich. In 940, a small group of Benedictine monks transformed Meinrad's little hermitage into the Lady Chapel. The Lady Chapel is a free-standing, square marble edifice and above the chapel's altar is the Black Madonna, "resplendent in rich robes and surrounded by gold clouds."
The photographs are of the Daimon office, a framed photograph of Aniela Jaffé, Bob Hinshaw, and the Benedictine Abbey seen from the Daimon office.
The photographs were taken in 2003 by Don Williams.

The placenta now starts a second wave of growth that will take almost six weeks. The outer layer of cells in the placenta move into the coiled, or spiral, arteries in the uterus, destroying their muscular wall. This causes the arteries to dilate, resulting in a low resistance to blood flow. Only those arteries beneath the placenta (80-100 vessels) are invaded by the placental cells in this way. If these cells move too deeply, they can fuse too tightly with the muscle of the uterus and have difficulty separating after delivery. If the wave of invading cells is inadequate, however, the low resistance to blood flow doesn't develop. This can increase the risk of the mother developing preeclampsia, and cause the baby growth problems.
Even though you may not need to go to the bathroom as much at night as you did in the first trimester, and may not yet be suffering from too many aches and pains, sleep may still escape you in the second trimester.
You may find that during this life-changing time you may be having especially vivid dreams, which can disrupt your sleep. Even if you're feeling well, it's essential to get adequate sleep: after all, your body is working hard to create another life. To get more sleep:
Sunless tanning lotions are safer than sunbathing or tanning beds but they have not been tested on pregnant women so their effects aren't known. It may be better to err on the side of caution and go without a tan while you're pregnant. Bear in mind that a fake tan does not protect your skin so, if you do wear it, you'll need to wear additional protection when you are in the sun.
No tanning pills of any kind have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. They may contain canthaxanthin and can be toxic to your unborn baby, and also have been known to cause hepatitis and eye damage.
It is a native Hawaiian belief that the placenta is part of the child.
It is a tradition to plant the placenta with a tree, which then grows alongside the child.

This is so cute. With the changes you made, it falls nicely in the front -- it definitely doesn't give you a faux baby bulge!

Okay, I LOVE the modifications you made to this top, and the color is gorgeous!!! I totally passed this one by because I didn't like the pockets and front gathers. The next sale they have I am going to purchase this pattern and copy. Hope you don't mind!

That is a beautiful top!!! The color is so pretty. That is nice of you to give up your sewing room. My sewing room is my extra bedroom so I just took up the bed in there so I would not have anywhere for people to stay, other than the couch--isn't that awful? :)

FileUpload Form-Post - How to send errors to the client
Hi Sencha Team,
as stated by the Ext-Direct Documentation (http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/extdirect) a Form-Post response should also always contain the following information:
- type – 'rpc'
- tid – The transaction id that has just been processed
- action – The class/action that has just been processed
- method – The method that has just been processed
- result – The result of the method call
The server will receive the POST-Request from the Client as a multipart form message in the following order:
artID 100005 (user-parameter)
artmediaid -1 (user-parameter)
upload 3ffsdofwfdskfdk..... (file-upload)
extTID 38 (generated by ext)
extAction ArtImage (generated by ext)
extMethod upload (generated by ext)
extType rpc (generated by ext)
extUpload true (generated by ext)
the server should stop parsing the file upload if it is too large. But therefore the server can not read out the extAction-, extMethod-Parts because they come after the upload-Part. Therefore the server can not send a valid response to the client that contains 'action', 'method' and 'tid'....
Is there any known way the server can send an error code to the client for too large file uploads?
If the server does not send any response to the client, the client will wait forever an can not inform the user about the problem.
thanks for any info to this,
b. huber

we have now implemented a workaround for this ...
if our java server receives a file upload that is larger than allowed we send back the following response to the extjs-client:
<html> <head><meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/></head> <body> <textarea> {"errorcode":413,"errormessage":"5242880 bytes","type":"rpc"} </textarea> </body> </html>
Ext.util.Observable.observe(Ext.direct.RemotingProvider); Ext.direct.RemotingProvider.on('data', function(provider, event){ if (event.errorcode) { if (event.errorcode === 413) { // request entity too large Ext.Msg.show({ title : osm.base.res.UploadSizeError.title, msg : Ext.String.format(app.base.res.UploadSizeError.msg, event.errormessage), buttons : Ext.Msg.OK, icon : Ext.MessageBox.ERROR, scope : this }); } } });
Is this a valid workaround ?
The only problem i see is that the open ext-transaction will remain in the Ext.direct.Manager forever,
because the server can not return the TID in the case of a large file upload. If the TID is not returned ExtJS can not remove the corresponding ext-transaction.
any info on this would be great. Until we will use this workaround.

The author of the acclaimed Sala's Gift delivers the definitive biography of Josephine Marcus Earp, a Jewish woman from New York who became the common-law wife of famed lawman and gambler Wyatt Earp.
For nearly fifty years, she lived with the most famous lawman of the Old West. Yet Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp has nearly been erased from Western lore. In this fascinating biography, Ann Kirschner brings Josephine out of the shadows of history to tell her full story--a spirited and colorful tale of ambition, adventure, selfinvention, and romance reflective of America itself, from the post-Civil War years to World War II.
How did this aspiring actress and dancer--a flamboyant, curvaceous Jewish girl with a persistent New York accent--land in Tombstone, Arizona, and steal the heart of Wyatt Earp? What inspired five decades of adventure-seeking that led from the Arizona Territory to Alaska to Hollywood? And what sustained her lifelong partnership with a man of uncommon charisma and complex heroism?
Answering these questions, Kirschner offers a rare look at a woman's life on the frontier and sheds new light on the iconic gunfight that made Wyatt Earp a legend, revealing Josephine's place at its center. Lady at the O.K. Corral introduces a vivacious woman with a magnetic personality who was equally at home in the deserts of the American Southwest and the boomtowns of the Alaskan Gold Rush; in the opulent hotels of San Diego and San Francisco in the Gay Nineties; in rough mining camps, gaudy gambling casinos, racetracks, and boxing arenas; as on Hollywood back lots visiting Cecil B. DeMille and Samuel Goldwyn.
Spanning more than half a century, this engaging narrative biography brings Josephine to the forefront of her own story and offers a fresh look at a remarkable era in American history.
"An admiring and vivacious biography. . . . Kirschner's fascinating profile captures the restless spirit of the frontier as deftly as it does Josephine's energy, affection, and limitless appetite for adventure."
-Publishers Weekly
"With vividness and certainty, Kirschner lays her story to rest at last. Tragedy, adventure, romance and scholarly investigation come together like pioneers to a boomtown, with something for Earp worshipers and casual readers alike."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Ann Kirschner brings a fresh, lively perspective to one of the great stories of the American frontier. Lady at the OK Corral reveals a fascinating intersection of Jewish history and the Wild West; its engaging narrative both celebrates and demystifies a legendary time and place."
-Julie Salamon, author of Wendy and the Lost Boys
"The story of Josephine Earp proves that even the best lawman in the Wild West needed a good woman to stand beside him, as improbable as their romance was, and as riveting a read as this book most certainly is."
-Thane Rosenbaum, author of The Golems of Gotham and Payback: The Case for Revenge
"Thanks to Ann Kirschner's brilliant Lady at the O.K. Corral, we finally have the definitive story of Josie Earp. . . . This is a must-read book for anyone who loves narrative nonfiction, or simply enjoys a hellaciously well-told tale."
-Jeff Guinn, author of The Last Gunfight: The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral - And How It Changed the American West
"In this remarkable feat of historical sleuthing, Lady at the O.K. Corral paints a vibrant portrait of an uncommon couple whose love for one another and shared thirst for adventure took them to the farthest reaches of the Wild West during its blustery boom times."
-Bruce J. Dinges, Arizona Historical Society
"A tour de force in the detective work of biography Ann Kirschner writes Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp back into American history. . . . A thoughtful and entertaining addition to the history of the American West, Jews in America, and the role of women in society."
-David S. Ferriero, Former Director of the New York Public Libraries
"Engrossing. . . . The life of Josephine that unfolds so vividly in these pages is as colorful and complicated as that of Wyatt and hers, the reader will discover, was the more remarkable journey."
-Stephen Aron, UCLA and Autry National Center

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] mpirun hangs: "hello" test in single machine
From: Rodrigo Gómez Vázquez (rodrigoggv_at_[hidden])
Date: 2013-04-12 10:43:43
I solved the issue by accepting the input traffic of data packages
through the TCP Ports as long as they are sent "from" and "to" the local
machine. Here is the line I added to the iptables:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT --source <actual-IP-address> --destination
<the-same-IP-address> --protocol tcp -j ACCEPT
Just an observation, I am not an expert in the use of iptables, so
PLEASE consider the possible security risks before you copy and paste
this line into your system.
