I just can't find a decent (and free) one. What can I use?
Did you ever try Umbrello? Given it is based on KDE, however is the best tool I have encountered if you do not want to go the java route. Umbrello is in the Ubuntu repository.
If you are ok with java, ArgoUML is a quite good tool, or you can see what plugins are available for eclipse.
Tried Dia?
Dia can generate code into Java, PHP, C++ and many more, but you should install Dia2code for generating code. I use it for creating UML and then generate the code of the classes.
Umlet is a great, free, open-source UML tool with a simple user interface:
and UMLet runs stand-alone or as Eclipse plug-in on Windows, OS X and Linux.
(Also, check out its sister tool PLOTlet to create chart grids.)
Its among the best and my personal favorite !
After a longe search in desktop apps I decided to go web, now I'm using Cacoo, which allow not only uml drawing but a lot of different drawing (like network topography, general stuff, etc). It's free and allow to share with friends and concurrently editing.
Gaphor is decent. It has some limitations and bugs, but it is the least annoying of UML editors out there. However, as Dia, it cannot generate code, I am just listing it in case you ever need a straight UML diagram creation tool.
I use Papyrus, a suite developed by the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique in France that is today available as a plug-in to Eclipse. It is the most advanced open source modelling tool I am aware of and supports UML2 almost entirely. Broad description:
Most importantly, Papyrus supports Model-Driven Development (MDD), being a pretty able tool to develop Domain Specific Languages. On this regard, Papyrus seems to be the only open source tool supporting the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) pattern issued by the OMG. With a code generator such as Acceleo you end up with a full MDD stack - from which you may even create your own DSL plug-ins.
I like yEd. It is not open-source but it is freeware and cross-platform, handling many types of diagrams and also UML.
Visual Paradigm is a powerful commercial tool for UML. But you can use the community edition which is free (for not commercial use). The only restriction is that every hour close the program.

As most of us have heard (and some people get offended about), there are dialects of English in which the word ask undergoes metathesis and is pronounced aks. Are there English dialects in which this process is productive and replies to other words? That is, do some people who say aks for ask also say flaks for flask, deks for desk, etc?

Take a look specifically at this subsection in the link @John Lawler posted: "Phonological History of English Consonant Clusters: S-Cluster Metathesis" at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_consonant_clusters#S-cluster_metathesis:
I have to reject your premise that these people "metathesize" ask. They do not. "Aks" is the standard pronunciation in their dialect, and has been for generations. It has undergone metathesis at one point, that much is true, but that was a thousand years ago, and they are not even aware of that.
Unlike children who try to say "spaghetti" and end up saying "pasketti", these people do not try to say "ask" and fail. Much rather, they actually want to say "aks" and then do just that. (Just like when you say "thirteen" — it's not like you are trying to say "threeteen" and failing.) Metathesis would be if they actually failed to say "aks" and ended up saying "ask" instead.
This is a training issue. People who have not trained themselves or been trained in school to enunciate the word "properly" say it in a manner that is more natural to the tongue and easier on the muscles.
Another word like this would be Youths - mispronounced like utes by many with a Brooklyn style accent.

I was given this on a practice exam:
Decide whether each of the following expressions is valid or invalid. Justify your answers (i.e.,if invalid, give an interpretation for which the expression is false;if valid explain why the expression is true for all interpretations.
(a) $[(\forall x)P(x) \vee (\exists x)Q(x)] \implies (\forall x)[P(x) \vee Q(x) ]$
(b) $[(\exists x)Q(x) \implies (\forall x)P(x)] \implies (\exists x)[P(x) \vee Q(x)]$
The answers are:
a. False: Let P(x)= "x != x" and Q(x) = "x=1"
b. False: Let "There exists x Q(x)" be false and "There exists x P(x)" be false.

WACO (January 9, 2013)-Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III underwent surgery Wednesday in Florida after doctors found a tear in his anterior cruciate ligament during an early morning arthroscopic examination, a source close to the Baylor Heisman Trophy winner said.
The arthroscopic exam was performed at around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday and doctors began surgery about 90 minutes later, the source said.
The two to three hour procedure was completed by late morning and went well, the source said.
The damage to the ACL would have been considered minor in an average person, but not in an athlete such as Griffin, the source said.
Doctors are also repairing a torn lateral collateral ligament, which was discovered earlier.
Griffin tore the ACL in his right knee in 2009 while playing for Baylor and reinjured his right knee in the Redskins' playoff loss to Seattle Sunday.
Dr. David Haynes, a local knee surgeon and team physician for Baylor Football, said Griffin's injury is rare.
"The LCL injury is typically a more sever injury," Dr. Haynes said.
"On a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst, his first injury in 2009 was about a five. His current injury I would say is a seven or eight."
Dr. Haynes worked with Baylor Football while Griffin recovered from his ACL injury in 2009. He says Griffin will now undergo rehabilitation similar to what he did with Baylor.
It's rehabilitation, Dr. Haynes says, that RG3 did well with.
"There is a well known protocol for ACL rehabilitation and he blew right through it. He is a remarkable athlete," Dr. Haynes said.
Early Wednesday morning, Griffin tweeted, "Thank you for your prayers and support. I love God, my family, my team, the fans, & I love this game. See you guys next season."
On Tuesday the team sent him to Florida to see renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews for more examinations.
Griffin had to miss a regular-season game after spraining the knee in an overtime win against Baltimore.
He re-injured the knee twice in Sunday's playoff loss to Seattle.

A Eureka man wanted in connection with an armed robbery was apprehended by Brookings authorities Tuesday morning.
Zachary Scott, 33, was arrested around 6:40 a.m. following a brief pursuit north of Brookings, Brookings Police Lt. Donny Dotson said.
Curry County authorities were put on notice about a vehicle Scott was driving north on U.S. Highway 101 by Del Norte authorities, Dotson said.
A Brookings police officer spotted the vehicle on the highway and pulled it over, but then Scott drove off, Dotson said.
A pursuit began, which two other officers joined, until Scott's vehicle's engine failed about eight miles down the highway, Dotson said.
Scott surrendered without further incident and was taken into custody.
Scott was being sought for attempted murder and armed robbery after allegedly robbing a Crescent City Subway restaurant Aug. 17 and taking one of the employee's cars down to Klamath, where he was spotted at the Salmon Festival and allegedly attempted to run over Yurok Tribal Police officers when confronted, authorities said.
Scott allegedly struck one of the officers as he was jumping out of the path of the moving vehicle, Yurok officials stated.
Scott then allegedly crashed into the Klamath Bridge and carjacked another vehicle before dumping it in the Orick area, authorities said. There was evidence that he was struck in the leg by bullets, authorities said.
Scott was again in contact with authorities Aug. 20 when he was spotted near a stolen motorcycle around 11:30 p.m. near 14th and A streets in Eureka, authorities said.
He was able to escape down a back alley, authorities said.

7 Ways to Curb Kids' Exposure to Violenceby Erin Dower
Did you know that U.S. children are more likely to be exposed to violence than adults? According to the U.S. Department of Justice, most American children are regularly exposed to violence — in the media, at home, in school, and in their community — and incidents of violence can affect them throughout their lifetime. Limiting kids' exposure to violence can help reduce the risk of overall violent behavior in children — from bullying and gang violence to school shootings and self-harm — as well as the risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental-health effects of violence.
1 of 8
Limit Violent Video Games and Media
A 2002 study found that 21st-century children spend an average of 53 hours a week with media and technology — more time than they spend on any other single activity: school, family, sports, and sleep.
The AAP advises limiting children's TV and entertainment screen time to two hours or less per day (one hour or less per day for video game playing), and to educational, nonviolent content. Know the ratings of the TV shows and movies your children watch before they're allowed to tune in, and pay attention to the type of media you're taking in while your kids are around. The AAP also encourages parents to look into a video game's rating and content before allowing a child to buy or download it. Every week, violent video games and online games/apps hit the market and become top-sellers. The AAP notes that parents should encourage play of nonviolent games that involve multiple players. "A typical scenario pits our young hero against a horde of hostile foes," the AAP says. "Too much time spent absorbed in violent fantasy may foster social isolation."
Consider using your TV's and electronic device's parental controls and time-limit settings to help you keep tabs on your child's media and tech use. Also, check out sites like Common Sense Media for reviews and age ratings of various media for kids.

The 5 Biggest Assholes Who Ever Turned Out to Be Right
The phrase "even a broken clock is right twice a day" had to come from somewhere. Unfortunately, some of the biggest douchebags among us have at times had the annoying habit of finding themselves completely vindicated when history proved their ravings accurate.
Some of them are still douchebags though.
#5. Jose Canseco
The Asshole:
Jose Canseco has led the classic American life: immigrant kid finds he has an amazing talent for baseball, works hard, rises to incredible fame and fortune, and then becomes a raging douche.
This image rates at a critical omega douche factor 11.
Leaving aside his personal life of beating Hooters waitresses, getting his ass kicked in Mixed Martial Arts and getting busted trying to smuggle fertility drugs from Mexico, Canseco is the kind of guy who lets you spend the whole day with him for $3,000, because a day with a washed-up MLBer is totally worth as much as a used car.
Ironically, this is the same car Canseco drives.
In short, the guy had everything and pissed it all away, except for the ego; that he seems to have kept.
How He Was Right:
In February 2005, because he needed to pay rent, Canseco put out a book called Juiced in which he divulged that all those home runs and amazing feats he accomplished were made possible by a generous grant from the Steroid Corporation.
Yes, Canseco wrote an entire book about how he was cheating the entire time he was wowing crowds, and he tried to play it off as a great thing because Jose Canseco approves of steroids, and Jose Canseco is always right.
Along the way, he happened to mention that he apparently holds the record for the 400-yard-dash, that Madonna was, like, totally into him, and also that steroids were so popular 85 percent of the pros were using them. In fact, they were used by people like Mark McGwire! And Jason Giambi! And Rafael Palmeiro!
Also, the sky is blue!
Of course, all of these guys, unlike Canseco, were actually still relevant to baseball and, more importantly, maintained that they were drug-free. Canseco's book was obviously just the egotistical ranting of a washed-up, desperate...
Oh, wait, no. By August, Palmeiro had been suspended for steroid abuse. As we all know, Jason Giambi offered a colossally insincere apology for steroid use in 2005, and, once he'd gotten all his money, actually admitted to taking drugs in the ass. Even McGwire finally admitted the obvious this year.
So maybe the MLB should have listened to Canseco after all
Yeah, OK, maybe not.
#4. Peter Duesberg
The Asshole:
It never pays to argue with well-established facts, not in the long term anyway. Sure, saying that, for instance, AIDS isn't caused by HIV may get you lots of attention at first, but eventually everyone just starts to mock you behind your back.
"More like Douche-berg."
But that didn't stop Peter Duesberg, a professor at UC Berkeley from insisting that very thing. His theory was that AIDS victims weren't infected with a virus at all, but that those damn homos and hippies just keep doing drugs, and AIDS is just the natural result of drug use.
So HIV, you see, is just a harmless virus that somehow manages to show up in every single person who has ever gotten AIDS. According to Duesberg, HIV is just the innocent OJ Simpson, and those recreational drugs are the Real Killers that we'll see a slam-dunk conviction of, any day now.
How He Was Right:
Needless to say, telling people who are dying slowly that it's their own damn fault for doing drugs doesn't make you very popular, and Duesberg is about as respected an authority on HIV as, say, Lady Gaga is on the subject of animal husbandry.
Does "animal husbandry" mean "dressing like a fucking idiot"?
Of course, some of you not familiar with the faculty of UC Berkeley might be wondering why such a loon still draws a paycheck from them, and the short answer is because he may have the cure for cancer.
Duesberg spotted a gene that helps cause cancer way back in 1970, and has been studying for the relationship between chromosome damage and cancer ever since.
And it's not just because both look cool up close.
Sadly, after he basically offended the entire world, nobody was even reading his work, which actually turned out to be sane and potentially world-changing. Even Scientific American had to begrudgingly admit that, while an asshole, he might actually be onto something with cancer.
At least until he decides it's caused by Hispanics.
#3. Fritz Zwicky
The Asshole:
An influential but unconventional Swiss astronomer, Fritz Zwicky is considered one of science's most fascinating personalities. He was also labeled a bit of a "curmudgeon," which is 1940s speak for, well, you know.
To give you an idea of how charming Fritz Zwicky was, when he was working at Aerojet, a bunch of customers from the military, including two admirals, showed up for an appointment to check on his progress. Zwicky met them at the gate demanding that they leave because they weren't scientists and were therefore absolutely unqualified to look at the stuff they were, um, buying. Outside of work, his solution to winning arguments was to try and punch people, which was mostly found adorable because he was a little old man who could be pummeled easily.
Aww. He thinks he's people.
It became less adorable when he said things like "I myself can think of a dozen ways to annihilate all living beings in one hour," and his scientific partner was afraid Zwicky was out to kill him. This guy was Milton from Office Space, except he could build nukes.
This really is his picture.
How He Was Right:
Needless to say, the whole "total lack of people skills" thing made him so popular and beloved he got the nickname "Crazy Fritz." So it was easy to ignore Zwicky while he was off doing crazy things like inventing most of modern astronomy.
The term "supernova"? He invented it.
He also developed the theory that allows us to know how old the universe is. Dark matter? He was among the first to theorize about it. Gravitational lensing, i.e. using stars to look at other stars? He laid out the theory 40 years before it was actually proved correct.
Zwicky was so ahead of his time, and so annoying, that it was basically routine in the 70s to say "Yeah, Fritz Zwicky thought of this 40 years ago but nobody took him seriously because he was a crazy douche."
A strategy that Glenn Beck hopes to emulate.
We're just kind of glad this guy decided to study stars instead of munitions design; he'd probably have built a planet-cracker by now.

Fixmo Tools Updated To Version 0.3.10 Beta
I really like this app. and the support for this beta is great! I have had no memory leak issues running on my Storm2 with OS 188.8.131.528
I had to remove the app after this update. It slowed my Curve 8330m down way too much.
We've got a fix coming for this slow down. We tried to get 'cute' with a polling exercise and, oopsie (technical term).
New build coming..
Thanks for trying it out, I appreciate it.
Rick Segal, Co-Founder, Fixmo
I have fallen in love with this application since downloading the initial beta. Every feature it offers is useful and they have corrected quite a few minor issues in this new release. Download and enjoy and of course if you find any bugs send feedback. You can also share your experience, get help and tips, etc. on the thread below.
on the bold 9700 it slows it down and causes some lagging
@ darkhonda02,
We have a fix coming for this slow down. I appreciate you trying the app out. Build, I hope, tonight.
Rick Segal, Co-Founder, Fixmo
@ Maine.
We got your incoming note and we will have a fix for the slowness, hopefully, today as we know what the problem is and the coders are pounding away.
Thanks for taking the time to try out our product.
Rick Segal, Co-Founder, Fixmo
For some reason, after installing the newest version, my battery on my 9550 is draining like a hemophiliac. I don't have any portion of it running, but I'm still losing over 8% per hour with NO use. It was sitting in my holster for that hour. Unfortunately I think I'll have to delete it for now.
So I have been running for a few hours now with no problems, I have (9650 Tour). Haven't seen any memory loss or lag yet. I really like the memory app but the others I would rarely use. It's a good App from what I have seen so far.
I am running an 8900 on T-Mobile with OS 188.8.131.521 (Platform 126.96.36.199) and installed your App this morning. I am experiencing absolutely no slowdown in the operation of my devise and everything seems to be working very well. I am also seeing no degredation of memory. My 8900 normally runs between 107 MB and 114 MB on a daily basis and it has been between 107 MB and 117 MB all day. Just wanted to let you know...
Nice App and am looking forward to continued Beta testing and then the official release!
Sorry about the double comment. Had the version numbers wrong! Also, I noticed you guys (Fixmo) posting that you had a new build coming. I'll definitely try that one out!
I beta tested the first version (3.5), and had no issues whatsoever. Great app, worked well, no issues. Today, I updated to version 3.10, and something in this new version caused a serious slow down on my Curve.
I deleted the app, and my Curve is running fine again. I don't know what the guys at Fixmo did with this new version, but I found my Curve nearly useless with it installed.
Is it a memory issue? If so, I hope they get it fixed, because I really do like the app!
Updated today to 3.10 on my BOLD 9700 and it slowed it down BUT i love this app and will reinstall when the new build comes out. It was working fine until the new update.
Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I have noticed my 8900 slowing down alot since installing, but as I have quite a few apps I just assumed that was the cause. I'll be interested to see how it changes with the new build. Am glad the disappearing/duplicated icons problem was fixed, but will be even more glad when it works with the Quick Launch app.
The support is awesome & I'm really enjoying this beta test :)
Checked the thread this morning, not only has it been updated to 03.11...but it has lost a little weight too. No more lag.
It was updated, I sent B1aze a message to change the blog post.
I updated it to my storm 2 and it slowed down my phone dramatically. I dis-installed it! Original was better and it could go sideways. This app only stays vertical.
The .11 version is much better. I'm no longer experiencing the lag time .10 offered. Testing will be much easier now.

Three Unique Approaches to Voice Picking
Zondervan's $240,000 voice investment is clearly paying off. In the first 13 days that the system was up and running, accuracy improved by 56.7 percent.
Order picking with voice is undergoing yet another transformation. Since its pioneering days in the 1990s, voice picking consisted of predominantly proprietary hardware and software solutions, such as those by Vocollect, using mobile computers embedded with speaker-dependent speech engines.
Then in the early 2000s, vendors such as Voxware started moving away from proprietary hardware and shifted to more open architecture solutions that they embedded in commercial, off-the-shelf mobile computing devices such as those marketed by Motorola and LXE. This open hardware era saw an increase in speaker independent technologies and the rise in multimodal functionality allowing devices to capture data multiple ways, whether via voice, scanning, or RFID.
But over the past three years, the proliferation of high-performance wireless networks and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems has ushered in what could be a new era in voice. Coca-Cola Enterprises, partnering with Cisco (a leading provider of wireless networks) and Datria (a Lockheed Martin spin-off specializing in packaged voice-enabled enterprise mobility applications) helped to innovate this network-based approach.
"It's the era of intelligent networks," says Daniel Hong, lead analyst of customer interaction practice with research firm Ovum and author of the The Guide to Voice Solutions in Warehouse Environments (February 2009). "Voice goes through a physical router that is also connected to a back-end server where all the speech recognition and intelligence resides," he explains…..continued (click here to download PDF).

Naugy QB Bradley is back for more
NAUGATUCK — Still nearly four weeks shy of his 16th birthday, Naugauck High junior quarterback Jason Bradley's maturity is way beyond his years.
He described his role as "the Commander in Chief of the offense" who needs to make sure everything is done right. But Bradley added that he is just one of many leaders on this youthful squad, which features less than a dozen seniors.
"I'm willing to take a leadership role if called upon," said Bradley, who turns 16 on Sept. 9, just days away from the Greyhounds' season opener at Crosby on Sept. 13. "But we have a lot of players who are leaders."
Everyone can share in the responsibility, says Bradley, as the Greyhounds begin practice Monday, the first of five, two-hour conditioning practices.
The 34 varsity players will be welcomed by first-year head coach Craig Bruno, the ex-Bunnell of Stratford head coach, who was hired in the early spring and oversaw 10 days of spring practice to get acclimated to the job.
Bruno, 45, an Oxford resident,
See NAUGY, Page 11B
succeeds last year's interim head coach Shawn Kuczenski, who filled in admirably, guiding the Greyhounds to a 6-4 record in 2012. Longtime head coach Rob Plasky resigned last August just days into the preseason.
All of that is behind the Greyhounds, said Bradley.
"I had a strong bond with the (previous) coaching staffs and it was tough to deal with," said Bradley. "Change is never easy and it left a giant challenge in front of us," said Bradley. "But In football, things happen and coaching changes do occur and you have to deal with it. We, as players, need to come in with a (strong) mindset and be ready to work hard and get conditioned and then get down to business. We don't have time to mess around."
Bradley, who threw for 26 touchdowns and only six interceptions with 1,492 yards last season, likes the offensive weapons around him with receivers' Bryan Coney and Ryne Griesenauer leading the way.
One of the strengths of the team is the offensive line, anchored by right offensive guard Kevin Mariano and right tackle Mark Cavagnuolo.
With the graduating loss of all-purpose player Mick Pernell (31 touchdowns), who is taking a postgraduate year at Taft School, the Greyhounds will look to several players to fill the void.
Expected startingtailback sophomore Antoine Sistrunk, has transferred to a Bridgeport school, leaving the entire running back depth chart wide open, according to Bruno, who said that there is plenty of competion to fill the spot.
Defensively, Bruno and defensive coordinator John Pereira, the ex-Pomperaug and Southington assistant, likes the core of the defense, featuring a linebacker trio of Jordan Hopkins and twins' Bryan and Matt Burke.
Not putting any emphasis on wins and losses now, Bruno is basing his initial season on what he learned from his mentor, Bob Mastroni, at Bunnell. Bruno is a 1986 graduate of Bunnell and was an assistant coach with Mastroni before being elevated to the head coach spot.
He compiled a 94-36-1 record in 12 seasons with the Bulldogs, guiding them to Class L state titles in 2006 and 2007 and a perfect 13-0 mark in '07.
"I was lucky enough to learn a lot of the values of football, on and off the field, about loyalty and commitment and dedication that I used throughout my career," said Bruno. "I was talking with my staffs the other day and said that loyalty doesn't come by in one day."
Bruno believes that loyalty is shown daily with a trickle-on-down effect from the players and coaches and that will lead to success.
"They'll see my commitment and the players will care about that and that will naturally come," said Bruno. "That's when the season will be successful." Teaching football is my favorite classroom. Football has been such a big part of my life."
And Bruno wants to bring that same passion to his players.
"The message I will send to the kids on Monday is that time is short and let them enjoy the next three weeks," said Bruno. "It's an exciting time in their lives, even though they are working hard. The anticipation of opening night is incredible. That creates the hard work they will be putting in."
Thinking back to his first day as head coach at Bunnell in 2001, Bruno said he had a vivid memory of walking off the field at the end of practice.
"That was a good day, a fun day," he said. "I expect that it will be the same way here on Monday."
