How has it come to be that we British have the pleasure of saying aeroplane, whereas the US Americans (and possibly others) are only left with airplane?
Sign up

Wikipedia defines the reason:
Aeroplane, originally a French loanword with a different meaning, is the [older spelling.][4] The oldest recorded uses of the spelling airplane are British.[4] According to the [OED,][5] "[a]irplane became the standard American term (replacing aeroplane) after this was adopted by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in 1916. Although A. Lloyd James recommended its adoption by the BBC in 1928, it has until recently been no more than an occasional form in British English." In the [British National Corpus,][6] aeroplane outnumbers airplane by more than 7:1 in the UK. The case is similar for the British [aerodrome][7] and American [airdrome,][8] although both of these terms are now obsolete. Aerodrome is used merely as a technical term in all of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The prefixes aero- and air- both mean air, with the first coming from the Ancient Greek word ἀήρ (āēr). Thus, the prefix appears in aeronautics, aerostatics, aerodynamics, aeronautical engineering, and so on, while the second occurs (invariably) in aircraft, airport, airliner, airmail etc. In Canada, airplane is more common than aeroplane, although aeroplane is not unknown, especially in parts of French Canada (where it is however used only in English – the French term is avion, and the French word aéroplane designates 19th-century flying machines)
Etymology online says
so I guess your real question is why "airplane" caught on better. It could be the a more common spelling, a simpler connection with "air", which is an English word as opposed to more complex connection to foreign "aero".
However, this is such a nice question to show some ngrams.
There you can see that even in American English it started as a more common word, until replaced in 1920s when airplane overtook.
Airplane is a US simplification of aeroplane, aeroplane having come from the French word aéroplane. The simplification came about because of a combination of people not wanting to bother with the 'o' sound at the end of 'aero', and perhaps a genuine misunderstanding that the aero- prefix is intended. People have have suspected that, as the thing travels through the air, the prefix ought to be air- for airplane.
As to your aside; yes, I suspect you do prefer that pronunciation because it's the British one. :-)

Short links for March 7th, 2011
Some interesting things I found recently:
A hexagonal monome – a Hexome, made using an Arduino. Containing RGB LEDs
More info at Mike's website: Hexome
From navs.modular.lab:
Tracks like a zombie, but kicks like a mule – my first taste of yellow.
As Metasonix own video makes hilariously clear, you're never going to play Switched on Bach with the R54. Feed the Supermodule with the appropriate combination of CVs, however, and you can coax deep drums, watery plops, rubber basslines and tortured-animal sounds from this unruly, tube-based VCF/ VCO.
# Imagining a Tablet Synth: Developer Christopher Penrose Shows Us SynthTronica for iPad
Peter at CDM writes:
What can a new digital synth be in 2011? How will it work and sound? And given access to so many excellent tools, how can it stand apart?
In place of a press release and some marketing-speak, developer Christopher Penrose (Leisuresonic, Cosmovox) sent us an extended essay explaining his thinking behind his imminent SynthTronica synth for the iPad. Aside from getting into the nitty-gritty technical details, it cuts to the crux of the issue: how to make something personal and new that nonetheless can work for other people, and how that idea can be tailored to a tablet.
SynthTronica for iPad is now available, iTunes link.
More free samples at Waveformless' Free Sample Friday:
Today's free sample is a single sample of a Tibetan singing bowl. The singing bowl is essentially an inverted bell that is used by Buddhists to accompany meditation or chanting. It can be played either by rolling the padded mallet along the inside rim, or by striking it. The sample I'm providing is of a single strike. It's an extremely long sample that reveals just how this instrument got the name "singing bowl". The note of the strike is an E. 24-bit, 44.1k WAV sample. [6.07 MB]
Plus, a bunch of Absynth patches by Alan Stuart.
A little something different this Friday… instead of free samples, today we have 50 free patches for Native Instruments Absynth submitted by reader Alan Stuart. You can download them directly from his website. Thanks, Alan!
# Dustland – Real-time Live performance by Diego Stocco.
"Dustland" is a cinematic sounding improv that I recorded with the Fence Bass. This instrument has a rough and edgy sound since it's all made of metal, so I imagined a piece that could work in a modern Western film, I'm a fan of the genre.
Everything is created in real time, no pre-existing loops, additional tracks or post-efx involved. I built a chain of processors in Live that I control with a pedal board, all rhythmic parts and ambiences are derived from whatever sound/noise comes from the Fence Bass. I hope you'll like it!
# Tower Bawher by Théodore Ushev
This animated short by Theodore Ushev is like a whirlwind tour of Russian constructivist art and is filled with visual references to artists of the era, including Vertov, Stenberg, Rodchenko, Lissitsky and Popova.
# Beep-it! – Michael Una's Beep-it! device, an optical theremin.
It outputs a square wave whose pitch is controlled by the amount of light striking a photoresistor. You control the pitch by casting shadows over the light sensor, or by pointing it towards/away from a light source. Flashing lights induce an interesting oscillating effect. A single momentary button turns Beep-it on or off.
There is an 1/4″ output jack for connecting to audio equipment like amplifiers, guitar pedals, recording, etc.

Short: MIDI-controlled 8-bit digital synthesizer and audio sampler
Long: Device generates several different sounds based on incoming MIDI Note On/Off, Pitch Wheel and Control Change messages. Default waveforms are Sine and Square. An audio sampling function is available to record custom waveform samples that can then be played-back similarly to Sine and Square waveforms (think Impulse Tracker or Scream Tracker or any other tracker from 1997). Audio input is switchable between on-board microphone and external 4-conductor headset jack.

I saw a recipe for a Summer Salad that said to sprinkle raw corn on top for a "crunch" effect - I've never eaten raw corn and was wondering if it was safe. I'm guessing hard to digest at the least....
Unless you have an allergy to corn, raw corn is safe to eat; it might pass through you with vigor (especially if you don't chew it thoroughly before swallowing it), but it won't hurt you.
I like tucking into a cob when I pick mine out of the garden. There is nothing better than a cob of silvequeen for a light snack when you are out in the garden picking veggies.
Yes! You can even eat feed corn (ie. the stuff grown to feed cattle), it is just more starchy than the 'sweet' corn we humans seem to prefer.
If your area has an issue with wild pigs or a large number of deer wandering through croplands and gardens, uncooked vegetables may be unsafe. Otherwise, it should be fine, and depending on the variety of sweet corn, downright delicious.
Corn is normally processed by soaking it in alkali-water, a process called Nixtamalization
The known benefits of this process are increased nutritional value and drastic reduction of mycotoxins if these are present.
I personally would discourage eating raw corn just to be safe. But there are currently no other known factors than the ones mentioned above.
Of course it's safe to eat, in fact it tastes a whole lot better than cooked!!!

LEGO Batman 3 announced with debut screens, details and hilarious trailerWritten by: / / 5 Comments
Warner Bros. Interactive and developer TT Games have today announced the continuation of the pair's hit LEGO series of action adventure games with a new Batman-themed entry to the franchise, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham!
This time around, Batman and his super hero buddies from the expansive DC Comics universe will take to outer space to do battle with Brainiac, and avert the destruction of Earth itself. Here's the story set up for LEGO Batman 3:
"Using the power of the Lantern Rings, Brainiac shrinks worlds to add to his twisted collection of miniature cities from across the universe. Now the greatest super heroes and the most cunning villains must unite and journey to different Lantern Worlds to collect the Lantern Rings and stop Brainiac before it's too late."
Who can possibly stop Brainiac? Batman, of course.
LEGO Batman 3 – Debut Screenshots
[nggallery id=603 template="el33t"]
Warner says that there will be over 150 unique characters from across the DC Comics universe to unlock, including members of the Justice League, Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy and more, with new gadgets and abilities for both heroes and villains promised, too.
The publisher teases that "Brainiac's mind controlling abilities and the power of the Lantern rings bring unexpected twists to the classic characters' personalities," which sounds highly intriguing, and there will also be a few jaunts in space as you "battle with Batman and his allies in outer space and the various Lantern worlds including Zamaron and Odym."
Here's the debut teaser trailer for LEGO Batman 3:

Question: How can users be motivated to vote more?
Please do not consider the following a 'personal' belief – but rather an observation of human nature (likely nothing revolutionary at that).
My understanding of the design of this site is that it is predicated upon the notion that a game like design fosters participation. One of the attributes of a game is keeping score – which this site accomplishes through reputation. While one may play the game for 'fun', if you are not trying to 'win' you really aren't into the game.
This leads to an apparent conflict between two ideas which appear fundamental this site:
- Voting has no cost to the voter, but is necessary for the community as it 'grades' answers.
- Voting (in a game scenario) rewards (advances) your 'opponent' with no gain to yourself.
Arguably, with respect to the voter, the negative second point outweighs the neutral first point – implying that there is an overall resistance to voting.
In biology, true altruism is a non-existent concept – organisms do not tend to cater to greater good, unless it has some benefit to the individual.
For instance, bats that hunt for blood are not always successful. In the event of a bat returning from an excursion without finding food, another bat will often regurgitate some of its meal to feed the unsuccessful hunter. At first glance this seems like a selfless act – doing with less to help one less fortunate. The reality is that bats expect this treatment reciprocated.
- A parallel to the above scenario might entail the following: a new user (1 rep) asks a question – they do not have sufficient points to up vote an answer. An answerer up votes the question, with the (implicit) expectation that the person asking the question will up vote the answer. While this may be an edge case, it illustrates a case where voting may be directly beneficial to the voter.
Consider another scenario: corporations donating money to charity. Certainly they all do so from the goodness of their hearts – but they do get a significant tax break in return.
- The only times that points are 'lost' on the site is when a user hits their daily reputation cap, when they receive a down vote, or when they offer a bounty. A system where casting one up vote allows a user to 'not lose one point' may provide some (minimal) incentive for voting, without actually giving points for the vote itself (or alternatively may increase the use of bounties if the poster has accrued sufficient points to offset their value).
Voter turnout for elections is typically between 40-55% - for something that actually has an impact on the individuals in question.
- On this site, voting (or not) has no actual effect on the voter (badges are nice and all – but if my place of work decided to pay me in stickers I might not be so thrilled), so why should there be an expectation that people will vote?
People are always willing to do something for the possibility of a gain – filling out a survey to be entered in a draw, disclosing spending habits in return for a few points towards future purchases, etc.
- Perhaps employing the same kind of model may have some merit. The gain however, must be indirect – so that people do not vote without merit simply to earn the reward. Something to the effect of 'if you cast more than 20 votes per week (at least 2 per day), you will get a 1% bonus on the points you earn'.
A few points about the above:
- 20 votes/week is a low - asking for 40 votes in a day will result in the clause either being mostly ignored or voting without merit.
- The requirement is prolonged participation (i.e. over a week, not just a single day)- the objective being to foster a certain type of behaviour over a longer period of time.
- No points are directly awarded for a vote – you still have to earn the points – this is just a 'bonus', and 1% is fairly small.
- On the downside, it provides little incentive to exceed the minimum number of votes (20/wk in this example) (although, if most people just attained that, it would be a marked improvement).
- Alternatively, a formula where each subsequent vote has a smaller impact on the bonus gained may be preferable
- For example: b(v)=(4/(1+2.5-0.04v))-2,
- Where b(v) is the bonus as a function of the number of votes cast for the week
- 30 votes/wk gets a 1% bonus
- 100 votes/wk gets a 1.9% bonus
- There is an upper limit of 2% for the bonus
- For example: b(v)=(4/(1+2.5-0.04v))-2,
- Alternatively, a formula where each subsequent vote has a smaller impact on the bonus gained may be preferable
To motivate people to vote, I believe that there must be a tangible benefit to them – and unfortunately, badges do not appear to be perceived as such a benefit. An effective solution must affect people's points – without directly giving points for a vote.

Take a look at PSOUG's notes on NULL. As Fabricio Araujo hinted, NULL is not really a value like the number 4 or string 'bacon strips'. In fact, NULL is untyped in the SQL language, which is why you cannot validly use it in an equality comparison. You need the special

The answer is clearly maybe, which is neither true nor false.

There are a number of reasons for a column to have a NULL value:

Is a glossary needed in a translated-novel? or I would only need to put the translation of the native words under the brackets?
If you have so many unfamiliar or questionable terms that you think the reader will need both original and translation, by all means add a glossary. More information never hurts. As long as it's in the back or front matter so the reader can choose to read it or not (that is, it doesn't interrupt the flow of the story), I say add it.
You should also consider a third alternative. Is there a character in your story who will have the same difficulty as the reader with the "foreign" words? Having a piece of dialogue that makes the meaning clear is usually preferable to an (intrusive) in-text gloss.
As an example someone might say When you call that a keris, is that any dagger or a special kind for ritual use?
I'd say first, can you just translate the words in the text and not give the original? Like in the example you give in the comments on Fortiter's post, why not just write, "Toward the beach, there was the village hall that performed a ceremonial dance every evening" ? (Or more likely, "... where a ceremonial dance was performed every evening". I doubt that the hall danced, it was more likely people in the hall.)
Is there something about a "banjar" that is not captured by the English phrase "village hall", AND that is important to the story? If not, there's nothing gained by including the untranslated word. Note the "AND" in that sentence is important. It is a classic sign of a bad story teller that he includes all sorts of details not relevant to the point. I'm sure we've all heard someone trying to tell about some personal experience that could potentially be very interesting to the hearer, who says something like, "... and when I heard that your brother had been in an accident, I quickly put on my shoes and headed out the door ... and, well, it wasn't really shoes, it was sandals, are sandals considered shoes? They're sort of like shoes, but I think of shoes more as things that have a top to them and ..." And you find yourself wanting to scream, "Get to the point! Was my brother hurt or not? How is he? Where is he now?" So if you say, "well, a banjar isn't just any village hall, it has such-and-such characteristics". This might be very important in the total context of the culture, but does it matter to the story? If not, then the reader doesn't care.
A certain number of untranslated words can add flavor. This is especially true if the word conveys something of the feel of the culture. Again going to your example, I probably would write "Kecak dance". The word "dance" tells us what it is so you don't necessarily need any futher information. The use of the untranslated word gives the impression that it has some special significance, that it is not just any dance, but something with ritual or cultural significance. If it matters, explain further.
And the easy, cheap answer: I've read translated stories that include footnotes for words that the author considered difficult to translate or valuable to include but whose meaning was not clear in context. Like writing "banjar*" and then at the bottom having a footnote that say "A village hall used for ... with ...".
I'm reminded of an interview I saw once with an American woman who had written a humor book that was being marketed in the UK, and she said that they had added a glossary to explain her Americanisms to a British audience. For example she made a reference to being "stuck on a cloverleaf", so in the glossary they defined a cloverleaf as "an interchange on a motorway in the shape of a four-leaf clover". She read a brief excerpt that was basically one joke that referred the reader to the glossary three times. And she wondered, by the time someone reads the joke, and then looks up all the words in the glossary and figures out what she's talking about, are they going to laugh, or will they just say, "Oh. I wonder why she wanted to do that." My point is that you can lose a lot of the punch of a humorous, emotional, or dramatic statement if the reader has to look up all the words before he understands what you are saying.

TEMPLE (January 22, 2013)—Classes were dismissed early on Tuesday afternoon at Temple High School after a fire broke out in a restroom.
The fire was reported at around 2 p.m. Tuesday and firefighters extinguished it a little more than 10 minutes later.
Because the school was evacuated so close to the end of the school day, officials said they decided to dismiss classes early.
There was no immediate word on the nature or cause of the fire. but school officials told investigators they had extinguished a bathroom fire earlier in the day.
The afternoon fire is under investigation.

Genetic testing now allows personalized treatment. Find out more.
Search for a doctor by name or specialty. Search now.
Our patients have amazing accounts of hope and resilience. Read their stories.
Your gifts help us push the boundaries of cancer treatment. Ways to Give
Our comprehensive radiation oncology center offers the most advanced radiation therapy treatments available. The treatment each patient receives depends not only on cancer type and location, but other factors such as how deep the radiation must travel into the body, the patient's general health and medical history, and other types of cancer treatments that might be needed.
UC San Diego Health now offers proton therapy, one of the most precise forms of radiation treatment.
Call 858-822-6040 to be seen by a UC San Diego Health physician and find out if proton therapy should be considered for you.
Several of our radiation oncology physicians treat patients at Scripps Proton Therapy Center, including:
This is the most widely used type of radiation therapy, and can be used to treat large areas of the body. External beam radiation uses a special machine to aim a high dose of radiation directly at the cancer cells and a small portion of healthy tissue at the margins of the tumor. The machine circles around the body, sending radiation from many directions to the exact part of your body that needs it. External beam radiation usually involves 15-minute treatments, done once a day, five days a week, for about six to eight weeks. There are several methods of delivering external beam radiation, and we use image guidance to ensure that your treatment is delivered accurately.
The Varian Triology technology uses advanced computerized optimization programs to generate treatment plans that highly conform the radiation dose to the shape of the tumor, sparing nearby tissue.
IGRT involves using X-ray or CAT scan technology to precisely locate the exact position and edges of a tumor immediately before radiation treatment. This greatly improving the accuracy of each treatment and allows us to avoid normal tissue.
Our Varian Trilogy technology allows for sub-millimeter precision, which has revolutionized our capacity to compensate for changes in the patient's position and tumor during the course of the treatment.
Varian Trilogy RapidArc radiotherapy technology is a new approach to delivering IMRT. Image guidance improves tumor targeting, and IMRT shapes the radiation dose so that it conforms closely to the 3-D shape of the tumor. That means more dose to the tumor, and less to surrounding healthy tissues.
Brachytherapy involves radioactive material that is implanted inside the body at the tumor site. Radiation implants are small "seeds" or "pellets" filled with different types of radioactive material. Sometimes this type of treatment is called "seed implants." These seeds, which are about the size of a grain of rice, are inserted through thin needles and emit radiation to kill the cancer cells without harming nearby normal tissue. Brachytherapy is usually done on an outpatient basis, without a hospital stay.
We have one of the busiest and most diverse brachytherapy programs in the country, providing services including:
SRS/SBRT can deliver doses of radiation to very small tumors. SRS is most commonly used to treat brain or spinal tumors, or cancer that has metastasized to the brain from other areas. SBRT treats tumors that lie outside the brain and spinal cord.
The Varian Triology SRS system, unlike older radiosurgery tools such as the CyberKnife, does not require the use of a headframe attached to the skull to immobilize the treatment area, making treatments much more comfortable. It delivers high doses of radiation to tumors in the brain, lung, liver and other sites with exacting precision. It can be used for a single visit or limited number of sessions, and can deliver treatment is less than 30 minutes. UC San Diego Health physicians have more experience with this novel technology than anyone in the San Diego community.
Proton therapy is one of the most precise forms of radiation treatment. Using controlled proton beams, the therapy can target tumors with unprecedented accuracy, sparing healthy surrounding tissue and reducing treatment side effects. Because it is so precise, radiation specialists can use more potent doses (to more effectively destroy cancer cells). Patients typically experience fewer side effects and complications from proton therapy compared to surgery, chemotherapy and conventional radiation therapy treatments.
Proton therapy is particularly well suited for patients requiring high doses of radiation, as well as young adults and pediatric patients, who are highly sensitive and more susceptible to the health risks associated with radiation exposure.
We use the Varian ProBeam proton therapy system, which offers pencil-beam scanning technology. We treat patients with many types of cancers, including breast, prostate, brain, respiratory, digestive, head and neck, and soft tissue cancers.
We offer proton therapy at the Scripps Proton Therapy Center as an affiliate provider. Call 858-822-6040 to be seen by a UC San Diego Health physician and find out if proton therapy should be considered for you.

What is it called if I have a good social condition (education, money, etc.) and I disrespect people with a lower condition?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Some possibilities:
The words that came immediately to mind were condescension, which means patronizingly superior behavior or attitude, or disdain, which means a feeling or show of superiority and dislike; contempt; scorn.
There are many other words for the belief that you are better than others.
That would be an example of snobbery. I'd say you were being a snob
In general, you are bigoted or are a bigot: you treat members of some demographic group as inferior to yourself, especially to the point of intolerance or even hatred.
Specifically, you are classist; you are intolerant of members of unequal social status. Understand that you can be on the lowest rungs of the social ladder and be a classist, regarding those of higher wealth as inferior to yourself; many of us actually do regard stereotypical "old money" types with disdain when they display their naivete of and inability to function in the "real world" without all of the conveniences and assistance their money can buy.
More specifically, you are elitist or an elitist; you aspire to social classes higher than your own and are intolerant of lower social classes than your own (or even of your own social class). You may be termed a social climber if you aspire to advance quickly to higher social levels, especially by association with members of that class.
Your actions may make you snobbish or a snob; you rebuff, avoid or ignore things or people you perceive as inferior, especially to the point of offense or vulgarity.
You may also be an aristocrat; of the belief that those in superior social standing are the most fit to rule over all (which is self-reinforcing; those in leadership positions typically gain wealth and celebrity from being in the position). While the connotation of the word implies no inherent disrespect, most aristocrats are in superior social standing themselves, in which case the person asserts themselves to be superior to lower classes by esposing this belief.
Another useful term is high-hatting, which means treating in a condescending or supercilious manner. Thesaurus.com lists verb high-hat as a synonym of verb condescend.
Supercilious, by the way, means "arrogantly superior; showing contemptuous indifference; haughty". Arrogant typically means "having excessive pride in oneself, often with contempt for others". Noun contempt is similar in meaning to nouns scorn or disdain.
You could also say that you are either looking down your nose or turning up your nose at people you consider to be your inferiors.
In my experience its called discrimination.
What about
You are a classist (Prejudice or discrimination on the basis of social class, according to Wikipedia).
There is also a slang term, diss, which is just short for disrespect.

Ephemeris, the Classical Journal of Denison University, is published once a year and seeks to offer an opportunity for those interested in classical studies to publish their work in an undergraduate forum. It promotes the coming together of history, literature, philosophy, religion, art, architecture and creative works inspired by the classics.
Karyn Greene '12 is taking her love of classics to the Boston Teacher Residence Program.
Denison professor Tim Hofmeister just published his second book of crime fiction, opening readers' eyes to the issues of Greece through a new channel.
Professor Kennedy's teaching and research interests cover the history and culture of ancient Greece, especially focusing on issues of ethnicity and citizenship.

SPOTLIGHT ON:(Back to Menu)
Four Women MSP Students at the Helm of Rutgers Law School Journals
A commitment to the principles of excellence, opportunity and impact has characterized Rutgers School of Law–Newark since its earliest days. One measure of that commitment is the school's exceptional role in advancing women in the law and gender equity, marked by such achievements as: admitting women to its first entering class; creating the first law school clinic to focus on discrimination based on gender; and launching the first legal journal in the country devoted to women's legal rights.
This year, not only are four of the school's five main journals headed by women but, in another measure of the distinctive culture at Rutgers–Newark Law, four of the Class of 2013 editors-in-chief (EIC) heading three of the journals are also participants in the Minority Student Program (MSP). Their routes to law school and their post-graduation plans differ but their testimonials to a supportive environment school-wide and a strong MSP community that has helped them to excel are remarkably similar. As EIC Patrina Ozurumba put it, "MSP is a family that I am most fortunate to be part of. Based on my interactions with MSP students and alumni, and wowed by the dynamism of these individuals, I know that being part of this family has broadened my professional network and support group in exciting ways that I have yet to discover."
|Rutgers Law Review EIC Silvia Medina '13 with Acting Dean Ronald Chen, 1982-1983 EIC, at the Law Review's April 2013 reunion.
Silvia Medina, EIC of the Rutgers Law Review, was an evening student during her first three years of law school, commuting 60 miles four days a week to Newark from her IT analyst job with the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in Trenton. The experience developed strong time-management skills, she said, and "prepared me well for this year as EIC and for my future career."
Medina relishes her EIC position on a journal that, published continuously since 1947, regularly contributes to the national dialogue on complex contemporary legal issues. In addition to interacting with outstanding scholars and legal professionals, the opportunity "to work closely with so many of my peers and administrators has really changed my law school experience and fostered a great sense of dedication to both the school and the Law Review," she said.
As an undergraduate interested in human behavior, Medina majored in psychology at Rutgers University's Douglass College. Thinking she might want to practice criminal law one day, she also received a certificate in criminology from the university. Instead of heading to law school right after graduation, she heeded the advice both of a friend who suggested that experience within the courts would be valuable to an aspiring attorney and of her undergraduate adviser who counseled working for a few years before law school.
Medina held a series of increasingly responsible positions as an information technology analyst with the Municipal Court Services Division of the AOC, which at the time was developing and updating its criminal complaint processing system. "My supervisors and directors were very supportive of my decision to attend law school," she explained, "and allowed me to take on responsibilities that would help me on that path."
At Rutgers–Newark, she has been a member of the Moot Court Board, Student Bar Association vice president for evening students, Association of Latin American Law Students alumni liaison, MSP study group facilitator and, most recently, a member of the Student Advisory Group for the Rutgers Universitywide Strategic Planning Initiative.
In the fall Medina will join the Commercial Litigation Practice Group at White & Case, LLP.
Having her name at the top of the Rutgers Race & and the Law Review masthead is particularly meaningful for Alba Aviles. "As the first person in my family to go to law school, I feel that working as a co-EIC is the culmination of my academic journey," she said. "Additionally, the journal's mission of increasing awareness about multicultural issues is an ideology that I hold dear. Furthering this mission of allowing Rutgers Law students to engage in progressive, challenging and important discourse has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my law school career."
|Minority Student Program Dean Yvette Bravo-Weber at the April 2013 MSP Banquet with EICs (l-r) Emmy Acevedo, Alba Aviles and Patrina Ozurumba.
Aviles is a cum laude graduate of Syracuse University with a B.A. in international relations and geography. At Rutgers–Newark Law, she has been awarded an Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey scholarship, and has served as co-president of the Association of American Law Students, a Public Interest Law Foundation representative, and a student board member of the Loan Repayment Assistance Program. As a Justice Pollock Fellow, she interned after her 1L year at Clemente Mueller, P.A. and at Riker Danzig Scherer Hyland & Perretti LLP.
Aviles is clear about why she came to law school: "I became a lawyer to become an advocate." She plans to use her J.D. to advocate for others in various practice areas and industries.
It's a goal that she traces to her experience when, as a two-year-old, "my mother led my sister and me out of war-torn El Salvador so that we could join my father who had recently emigrated to the U.S. Although just a toddler, the small steps on this journey were the first of many in an effort to gain a voice."
Next year Aviles will clerk for the Honorable Walter Koprowski, Jr. Informed by her background and by the Minority Student Program, she also plans to make time to give back to the community. "I see myself," she explained, "mentoring, advocating for and educating young students who, like me, were new Americans and forced to navigate unchartered waters."
Emmy Acevedo and Patrina Ozurumba are co-EICs of the Women's Rights Law Reporter, whose faculty adviser in its early years was Rutgers–Newark Law professor Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
As Acevedo observed, the position "means following in the footsteps of some very extraordinary women and living up to the journal's historic roots as the first legal publication devoted to women's issues." The Reporter's first issue, published in July/August 1971, included case summaries in the areas of education, poverty, childcare, and birth control, topics that remain challenges for women. "The EIC role," observed Ozurumba, "has provided me with an unparalleled opportunity to advance, in a meaningful way, scintillating discussions about women's legal issues, which are issues that I personally care about."
The co-editors-in-chief came to law school from different directions. "I knew I wanted to be an attorney since I was in middle school," said Acevedo. With none in her family to shadow, she joined as many legal-oriented programs as possible to better understand what being an attorney actually meant. "I participated in a mentoring program at Newsweek where my mentor was the general counsel. Subsequently, I participated in the New York City Legal Outreach program where I had the chance to intern at four major NYC law firms (White & Case; Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett; Hahn & Hessen, and WilmerHale) and form one of the most meaningful mentor relationships of my life with an attorney, Carrie Anne Cavallo. All these experiences reassured me that I did indeed want to pursue a legal degree."
Acevedo attended Haverford College, graduating with a B.A. in political science and then working as a paralegal for two years. The summer after her sophomore year, she learned that a high school classmate had been killed by her boyfriend. "That event absolutely motivated me to seek out opportunities to advocate for victims of sexual and domestic violence," she said. "I really believe a more candid dialogue on these issues would encourage more men and women who suffer in silence as victims to reach out for help."
Her activities at Rutgers include the Domestic Violence Advocacy Project and the Courtroom Advocates Project, as well as the Community Law Clinic. Since 2009 she has volunteered as an advocate with the Mount Sinai Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Program.
As for her work on the Reporter, Acevedo said, "Joining the Women's Rights Law Reporter as a 2L was especially exciting because it touched upon many women's issues that I care about, including violence against women, equality for women in employment, and women's rights in general. Now, as EIC, I feel all the more fortunate to have the opportunity to learn to love a different side of the Women's Rights Law Reporter, namely the business, management, and public relations side."
Acevedo hopes that a clerkship followed by private practice experience will enable her to open her own practice in the near future. She is particularly interested in family law, trusts and estates, and corporate law.
Ozurumba, who holds a B.A. in economics from Barnard College, worked as a healthcare finance analyst for UBS Investment Bank and an associate consultant in the executive compensation practice at Hay Group before starting law school in 2010. "I have always wanted to be an attorney," she explained, "but I also knew that I wanted to obtain certain skills that would ensure that I would be a sought-after business lawyer."
She began developing those skills while at Barnard where, among other honors, she took first place in the Goldman Sachs Institute for Entrepreneurial Thinking Regional Business Plan Competition and was named an Emerging Business Leader by the U.S. Department of Commerce. At Rutgers–Newark she held summer positions at Wyndham Worldwide and the New York City's Comptroller's Office; served as 2011-2012 co-president of the Labor and Employment Law Society; and was selected to participate in the New York City Bar Association and the Alliance of Securities and Financial Educators' Securities and Finance Law Seminar Series.
Ozurumba also produced two pieces of legal scholarship: "Information Under-Load: Rethinking IP Valuation in the Context of U.S. Securities Regulation," 19 J. Law, Bus. and Ethics 89 (February 2013) – the only featured student article – and "Girl Power: How Female Entrepreneurs Can Overcome Barriers to Successful Businesses," 34 Women's Rts. L. Rep. (forthcoming May 2013).
As for her year as co-editor-in-chief of the Reporter, Ozurumba said, "I have made it my personal mission to ensure that my peers end the publication year feeling motivated and invited to innovate the processes of our journal, and also rewarded in that they have obtained new skills that will ease their eventual transition to full-time employment. The most rewarding aspect of this role," she continued, "has been to witness both how my peers have demonstrated greater confidence in their professional abilities by surpassing the demands of the journal and how my peers have likewise challenged me to sharpen my own skills."
Post-graduation, Ozurumba will be an associate at a New York City law firm with a primary focus on hedge fund and private equity transactions. In five years she hopes to have established a career in the private investment funds sector.

New Weapons: FireBomb(It puts the castle on fire, It can't fire on metal), Three Metal Blocks( It can break through glass, can't go through wood, metal and brick)
New Backgrounds: BonFire(that's in the far background, it'll show three unimportant people sitting near the bonfire in the back-background)
New Blocks: Glass(It is powerful enough to kill a person if touched)
New Provinces in New Game/Continue: Inkonia(Wooden Castles live there), Bloodinia(Glass Castles live there), Betsonia Ruins(Metal Castles live there)
Vegor&Magor(Mixed Castles live there including the biggest and hardest of them all).
Is this a good idea for it?

We are now well into 2011, and many people are deep into the discussion of the shifts occurring on this planet. Some feel they are directly tied to the Mayan Calendar and predictions for 2012. Others feel that we are in the center of a transformational movement unlike any other in history.
I recently spoke at a wonderful conference in Sedona, Ariz. The whole theme was about transcendence and how we navigate the waters of the shifts taking place. As I contemplated my talk, it became clear to me that WE ARE THE GIFT in the shift. Each one of us is here for a unique purpose, and each of us has been given all of the tools that we need to be fulfilled and make a difference on this planet. If that is true, then the question becomes "What is in the way of us soaring?" I believe it is because we are stuck in the muck of consistent mind chatter that tries to convince us that we are victims of inevitable doom. This is fed by the intense news reports, old familial belief systems and inaccurate information passed down from various arenas.

Unanswered: CSS problem with IE9
I want to put a background-image to a button. Here is the CSS:
.valid { background-image:url(../images/accept.png); }
I search and I found a difference between the browsers. ExtJS put x-nbr class in the BODY in IE. It's this class which destroy the style which that:
background-position-y:1100303px; background-position-x:1100303px;
EDIT: I try to change cls to iconCls, it's work ... but I can't change de size of the button with the iconCls. I need to put the class with the attribute cls.
EDIT2: I debug and look to the BODY tag and I have this as class: "x-body x-ie x-ie7p x-ie7 x-ie7m x-ie8m x-ie78 x-nbr x-nlg x-reset x-border-layout-ct x-container"
I look a sample/example of sencha and I see some differents in the BODY tag: " x-body x-ie x-ie7p x-ie8p x-ie9p x-ie9 x-nlg x-reset" -> I put this with the debugger of IE and all works. The question is: Which files add the class to the BODY tag and why I have differents class?
Anyone have a solution?
Thank you in advance for your answers

I know that there are other ways to go about this, but I'm looking to be able to make
wc interpret stdin as a file name or list of file names. For example,
ls JP*/std* | wc
would work the same as
wc JP*/std*
I am guessing it isn't possible to adjust this behavior, but I'm working on a script where this'd make my life a lot easier. Thanks.

KILLEEN (November 14, 2012)—Killeen police Wednesday identified a woman who was killed when the car in which she was riding was struck by a train at a local crossing as Coral Ghamdi, 26, of Killeen.
She and Fort Hood Jeremy Wayne Berczik, 26, of Houston died when a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Freight Train hit the 2010 Dodge Charger that Berczik was driving just after 2 a.m. Friday at the North Gilmer Street crossing near West Avenue E in Killeen.
They were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said they think Berczik maneuvered around the crossing guards, which were down, and drove into the path of the oncoming train.
Berczik, who had been assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division's 1st Battalion, 3rd Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment since September, deployed to Iraq from October 2008 to January 2009 and from August 2010 to August 2011.

I've a Canon 600D with Canon EF 25-105mm F/4 USM L lens. When I half press the shutter I can hear the US motor sound trying to focus on my subject, however I hear another sound, it's lower than the sound that the US motor makes when it's trying to obtain focus. And when I raise my finger of the shutter I can hear that the sound of the US motor has stopped while this other sound is still going few seconds and then it stops. I wonder what is this sound?
You're hearing the IS start to activate.
Yep - this is the image stabiliser kicking in. Note if you flick the switch on the lens to turn IS off, the noise you describe will cease. (But obviously, you will then lose the benefit of it). In short - it is perfectly normal, nothing to worry about, and helps you achieve sharper shots by minimising the effects of camera shake.

Going natural
More African-American women unlocking potential of hair untreated by chemicals
|LaToya Rivers, owner of Espresso Culture, wearing Sister Girl earrings and sporting Sister coils, gives Suzetta Parks (not pictured) a coil-out style, January 2, 2013, in Kansas City, Missouri. (Allison Long/Kansas City Star/MCT)
"I was tired of wearing my hair a certain way to feel acceptable," says Shoals, who now wears her hair in a fluffed-out curly 'do with slanted bangs framing her face.
For Shoals, embracing her African-American hair the way God made it was part of a midlife transformation to express her true self in every way, to get back to a cultural identity she had chosen as a young girl but then drifted away from.
Shoals grew up in California in the 1960s and '70s, when black leaders, entertainers and athletes wore Afros as a political statement. Her father was earning a doctorate at Stanford University.
When she was 6, Shoals asked her parents if she could change her given name, Gretchen Elizabeth, to Bukeka Bosede. Bukeka is a South African name from the Xhosa people, and Bosede comes from the Yoruba of West Africa.
While most of the nation was mesmerized by televised images of civil rights activist Angela Davis and her amazing Afro - it seemed as big as the moon she was reaching for - Shoals and her family saw her in person at rallies.
"My whole family wore Afros then. And my sister and I had wigs that looked like Angela's hair because ours wasn't long enough," she says.
In her late teens, Shoals started relaxing her hair and wore it that way for more than 20 years. When she decided to ditch the chemical relaxers, she discovered natural hair has practical benefits. It requires less time at the hair salon, costs less money and makes it easier to maintain an active lifestyle. Because relaxed hair can lose its shape if exposed to water or sweat, black women with perms often avoid strenuous exercise.
For Shoals, who works out four to five times a week and likes to swim, natural hair is "freeing."
She's not alone.
Stylists say there has been a sea change in the last decade, with percentages flipping from 80 percent of their black female clients using relaxers 10 years ago to only 20 percent using them today.
As with most trends, the movement toward natural black hair started on both coasts before really gaining momentum here about two years ago. Celebrities such as Erykah Badu, Esperanza Spalding and Rihanna are frequently seen rocking natural locks in magazines.
In September 2012, Oprah went au naturel, sporting a full mane of real curls in her cover shot for O magazine for the first time.
Celebrities have always driven trends in hairstyles. Just as Angela Davis and the Jackson Five ushered in Afros during the black-is-beautiful movement in the '60s and '70s, Michael Jackson and Prince ignited a relaxer revolution with their Jheri curls in the early '80s.
But today's shift toward natural styles is not a return to the Afro. Blacks who opt for that retro style are the exception, not the rule.
Kevin Young, a senior on the University of Kansas Jayhawks basketball team, lets his hair grow during basketball season as a way to stand out.
"I like wearing an Afro. Not a lot of people have one. A lot of people say I'm like Samson because I can't cut my hair," Young says, laughing. Still, Young says some of his teammates have been growing their own hair out a little longer, too.
Students sometimes come up to Young on campus or at the grocery store to compliment his hair. And he does the same thing. "I don't see many Afros around here, but when I do I make sure I stop and say hello."
LaRon Green, owner of Shampoo by Salon LaRon in Kansas City, Mo., emphasizes that natural black hair doesn't have a single expression.
"Natural black hair can be styled to be super curly or stick straight or anything in between," Green says.
In fact, natural hair gives women more styling options than chemically relaxed hair. That's because sodium hydroxide, or lye, the active ingredient in relaxers, changes the way molecules in the hair bond. In doing so, it also makes hair more susceptible to breakage, so stylists don't want to add highlights or use heated styling tools on relaxed hair. Curls in relaxed hair are created by setting wet hair on rollers.
Natural hair, however, can be colored, flat-ironed or blow-dried. Green uses chemical relaxers on clients who want them, but he tries to talk them into going natural because it is healthier for the hair. Relaxers, especially if applied improperly, can burn the scalp and permanently damage hair follicles, leading to thinning hair and bald spots.
The latest generation of heated styling tools and natural creams and oils has helped swing the tide away from relaxed hair by expanding the styling options for natural hair.

My macbook (feb 2008 white) sold on ebay, but I haven't shipped it yet. I'm concerned about my privacy. I can't wipe the hd clean because I sold the computer with valuable software on it. What files should I remove so that the person who receives the computer can't log into my accounts? And what other things should I do to ensure my privacy is safe?
The simple solution
Create a new admin account, then use it to delete your personal account(s).
When you delete a user, you have the option of performing a "secure erase" on their home directory:
Assuming you haven't stored any personal files outside of your home directory, this will do the trick.
The paranoid solution
If you want to be really thorough, the only way to ensure that none of your personal data remains is to securely wipe the drive. You can do this from Disk Utility by clicking "Security Options" on the "Erase" tab:
After that, reinstall your applications. None of your personal data will remain.
Here is another way to do it:
As all the old user's file are encrypted and then erased, even if those files are restored they would be useless without the encryption key.
This solution assumes that no software is installed as "for this user only" as that software would be removed with the old user.
Here is one way to do it:

Fiance's Daughter Opposes Marriage
Q: I am 24 and my fiance is 51. We have been together for six years and are getting married in 2000. We are very happy. His 12-year-old daughter is not. She has yet to accept our arrangment. We do not reside together for fear of her lashing out. She makes threats to her father that if he marries me, she will "never visit him ever." I believe that his ex-wife has a huge influence on her way of thinking. When she was younger, we got along. It has just continued to become worse with her age. His ex will not allow her in my company which puts a strain on our time together. His son's mother has no problem. We do spend time together with him and without the girl. I also don't feel she should be forced as long as we are not married. I feel bad for her and for the position it puts my fiance in. I guess my question is how to make the ajustment easier for her and for us? Is there anything we could say or do or will it always be like this until she is old enough to understand? Please help! I am willing to try anything!
A: Given the circumstances of your initial relationship with this girl (she was 6 and you were 18), it's understandable she could have looked upon you as a friendly "older sister." As time passed and she became more aware of who you were and are to her father, she could not make an easy transition from seeing you as an "older sister" who "knew" her father to the "woman" who her father was in love with and is going to marry. She is behaving quite understandably and her threats never to visit her father again are a desperate attempt to hold on to him (at your young age you can be perceived as having replaced her position with her dad) and to avoid the shame and embarrassment that this situation is causing her at this very sensitive age.
I strongly doubt there is much either of you can do to make this girl feel better about this situation. He can keep assuring her of his love and of his desire to be a part of her life. There is always the possibility that she will be able to accept this better as an adult if the two of you have maintained a healthy, long-lasting relationship. Your fiancee and you certainly would both benefit from professional family counseling. Receiving advice and support from a nonjudgmental professional would prove most helpful. Good luck.

Layout, typography, photography, and editorial content work together to communicate the style and tone of New York University's visual identity and reflect the core values of the University. Below are examples and contact information for questions.
Special Note: To produce the most effective communications and have the greatest impact, it's recommended that a department hire a professional graphic designer to create its materials.
In general, the following recommendations should be considered when designing print and online communications. The design of NYU communications reflect on the reputation of the University.
Our digital archive of photographic images includes high-resolution versions for print and low-resolution versions for websites. The library is currently online at picturebank.nyu.edu. For questions concerning photos, please contact Jane Burke at the Photo Bureau.
Gotham is the only font used in the logo and all secondary-level logotypes. It can be used in conjunction with other fonts but should be the primary font for units within the central administration of NYU. As a machine font default, Arial is recommended for letters and HTML docs.
The Gotham type font family can be purchased directly from the type foundry, Hoefler & Frere-Jones, online at typography.com. At this time the University does not have an institutional license.
The following attributes contributed to the selection of Gotham as NYU's primary font:
In and of the City: Vernacular sans serif designed in Greenwich Village
Influence: Architectural and commercial signage in New York City
Modern: Strikes a contemporary and forthright tone
Clear and Optimistic: Suggests the energy and exuberance of NYU and NYC
Versatile: Offers a range of weights and styles for a variety of messages
Editorial Style
For information on capitalization, punctuation, and abbreviation, please see The Chicago Manual of Style, the University's standard reference. For spelling, word division, and helpful usage notes, refer to Merriam-Webster's Online.
In addition, we are glad to answer your specific questions at email@example.com.
Professional graphic designer's can, in the long run, save time and money by using their education and special training to produce communications that are effective and that have real impact. They can also help set up templates that clients can use to produce ongoing communications without having rehire the designer do it.
Influenced by architectural and commercial signage in New York City, this type style strikes a modern and forthright tone in keeping with a prominent aspect of the NYU mission, that of being "in and of the city." A range of weights and styles is available in the Gotham family, lending it versatility and adaptability to a variety of messaging needs.
The University was unable to negotiate an institutional license from the type foundry. Because of NYU's size, it was difficult to calculate the scope of use necessary to include in the license. You can purchase an individual or group license of Gotham by going to typography.com.
You can not substitute Gotham in the NYU logo or any of its secondary-level logotypes. For MS Word documents and MS Powerpoint presentations you can substitute Arial, the computer default font available on your PC or Mac.
Stock images break down into two main types, royalty-free and rights-managed. For royalty-free images, you are allowed nearly unlimited use after the license fee is paid. With rights-managed images, your right to use the image is typically restricted, with limitations placed on things such as duration of use, geographic region, and industry as established by your license agreement. The best resource for your photographic needs is the NYU Photo Bureau. Contact Jayne Burke.

It was a week where I realized something about myself.
As creepy a critter as they are, I can't bring myself to kill a stink bug.
I'll spot one of them from time to time in the house, scooting nonchalantly across a ceiling or scaling a wall, just out of the blue suddenly somewhere in my midst where I don't particularly want one to be.
My reaction is always the same, very predictable.
I kind of scream. I register my level of disgust at its presence with a "yuck" or two. Then I take bold and swift action.
I scramble for a piece of paper on which to scoop this boxy brown intruder. It's a process that isn't always so cut and dried because they're not at all cooperative once they realize you're not thrilled by their presence. I head to the nearest door or window to fling the stink bug into the great outdoors, out onto a pile of snow for a little bit of fresh air.
So long, stink bug!
I confirmed my aversion to this insect the other morning in the office just as we were digesting the news that there is this remarkable abundance of squid all of a sudden off the California coast, and there's this rush among people to reel them in ASAP.
"I feel bad for the squid," I confessed to some colleagues as I watched the enthusiastic calamari catchers load their boat with these water wonders, even though I felt a little hypocritical since I've eaten squid a time or two. Gulp.
I had no sooner expressed compassion for the squid that I followed up with my reluctance to do away with stink bugs.
One co-worker came to my defense, reminding me of the consequences of killing a stink bug - you know, the stink and all. You really don't want to squish one under foot.
I admitted I took the coward's way out and banished the bug to what I assumed would be its frosty demise.
"Would you want to knit it a sweater?" a co-worker wondered aloud.
So much for comforting me, a kid who attempted intervention when I would catch peers doing away with ants with the sun through the magnifying glass trick.
I don't know. I'm OK with taking out flies and mosquitoes, but a stink bug - I guess I fear repercussions. Who knows - maybe its family will come after me or something.
I've even felt bad about getting rid of those funky little beetles that look like lady bug knock-offs.
I was sweeping them up at my mother's the other day, cleaning a windowsill in what was my old bedroom, when I thought I could hurry up and empty the sweeper outside. Let the bugs go live their lives happily ever after somewhere else besides inside where I am.
Better Half gave me that are-you-nuts look.
So, bugs oddly have me on their side. I don't want to cohabitate with them, but they do get another chance to do whatever it is that insects do.
And that doesn't "bug" me at all.
