IPC statistics were used in this AJC article about Christian Jimenez, one of the first immigrants in the U.S. to receive a reprieve from deportation under Obama's new immigration policy:
Nearly 1 million immigrants across the U.S. are now eligible for deferred action, according to an estimate by the Immigration [1] Policy Center, an arm of the American Immigration [1] Council, an immigrant rights and policy group in Washington. Of those, 24,360 live in Georgia, the eighth-largest total among states.

This is a C++ documentation question. Generally if I have a class

foo.h and the implementation of the member functions into
The function, therefore, appears twice (once as a forward declaration and once with the implementation). Where should I add documentation that describes what the function does (preconditions, postconditions, parameters, etc). Should I add it in the header file, the source file, or both?
The "target audience" for the documentation is me (2 months from now) and other developers working on the system.
What practice do you follow to address this documentation duality?

On Ask Different, we believe the core moderators should come from the community, and be elected by the community itself through popular vote. We hold regular elections to determine who these community moderators will be.
Community moderators are accorded the highest level of privilege on our community, and should themselves be exemplars of positive behavior and leaders within the community.
Our general criteria for moderators is as follows:
- patient and fair
- leads by example
- shows respect for their fellow community members in their actions and words
- open to some light but firm moderation to keep the community on track and resolve (hopefully) uncommon disputes and exceptions
Every election has three phases:
- Nomination
- Primary
- Election
Please participate in the moderator elections by voting, and perhaps even by nominating yourself to be a community moderator!
- More information about the candidates.
- Election chat room - discuss the election, candidates, etc.
- Town Hall Chat digest - an hour long Q&A session with the candidates and their responses.
- For questions about the election process itself, visit Meta.
- To see how your vote choices will collectively elect two candidates, you can download free counting software and the actual results from last year. The Meek STV method for counting is considered the best algorithm for electing multiple people. It is not simple in implementation, so seeing it in action is often very helpful before casting your vote choices that become a single vote when counted.

Oops, something didn't work.
That was an excellent video. I'm absolutely in love with the databinding tool. That was one of the biggest issues I had coming in to using WPF.
Thanks for the feedback Jerry, I'll make sure the team hears about it.
Hi Jerry
Thanks very much for the feedback, we're glad we hit the right issue to help you!
We would love to hear feedback from you and others if you get a chance to get your hands on the new tools in the Beta edition of Visual Studio 2010; use the forums at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vswpfdesigner/threads to keep in touch, we read them regularly.

Hi Jeni
The same Microsoft DataGrid control which you can find in the WPF Toolkit for use on .NET 3.5 SP1 projects, is being incorporated into .NET 4.0.
There has been a Microsoft-built DataGrid control in Silverlight since Silverlight 2.0
Both will be on the default Toolbox for their respective project types in Visual Studio 2010.
Thanks for the post.

5 Creepy Things You Won't Believe Animals Are Learning to Do
In a world filled with terrifying monsters, we humans are lucky that most of the things that want to eat us follow a pretty predictable set of rules. You're probably safe to take a trip to the DMV without getting attacked by sharks, for example. Likewise, you shouldn't worry too much about bear attacks while you're out sailing in the ocean. But as we've shown you in the past, the animal kingdom has its fair share of loose cannons who may break all the rules, but damn it all, they get things done.
#5. Crocodiles Can Climb Trees
When the time came for the dinosaurs to either die out or evolve into chickens, crocodiles clicked the opt-out box and continued right on existing as scaly armored nightmare machines. These giant meat blenders are more or less the dominant life form in whatever body of water they inhabit, and a good 20 feet of the land surrounding it. If you blunder into their territory, pretty much your only option is to find the highest tree to climb and hope they don't wait you out, Tremors-style.
nopparatk/iStock/Getty Images
You can tell if they're waiting; you'll hear their clock tick.
Except ...
Crocodiles can totally climb trees.
Van Welsem/Australian Geographic
Chop them all down, then burn the wood. It's the only way to be safe.
For a long time, scientists assumed that crocodiles were more or less confined to two dimensions when out of the water. However, anecdotal reports of reptilian death from above got some researchers curious, and they set out to see if they could confirm the stories about tree-climbing crocodiles. Unfortunately for ground dwellers and your own impending night terrors, they found them. All over the world, from Colombia to Mississippi to the Philippines, crocs were scampering up trees like the devil's squirrels. And not just trees: Some were even spotted scaling chain-link fences and brick walls.
That's like suddenly realizing that your cat knows how to unlock your gun chest, only to find that almost every cat in the world knows the same trick. You'd think the silver lining here would be that they're at least restricted to the lower branches of relatively short trees, but nature loves nothing more than a surprise party: Juvenile crocodiles are sometimes found as high as 30 feet up in a tree, which you may recognize as about three stories above the ground. Which floor do you live on again?
#4. Octopuses Can Move Across Dry Land
Most of the time, the ghoulish monstrosities who inhabit the sea are content to stay there. Science has a scientific name for the land jellyfish -- they call it "dead." That presumably goes for anything else that isn't blessed with a skeleton to fight the tyranny of gravity.
Vinicius Tupinamba/Hemera/Getty
Or a fishhook.
Except ...
Octopuses frequently crawl around on land. In this video, we see a little octopus going for a bit of a constitutional just to keep the old vigor up.
How shocking and terrifying and yet clumsy and sweet.
Octopuses are happy to crawl out of the water for several minutes to avoid predators, to look for food in other tide pools, or, if you own a pet store, to eat your other merchandise. Yep: They often crawl out of their own tank, seek out another tank, devour what's inside, and then sneak back into their own tank. They know enough to cloak their misdeeds -- we're pretty sure that's how Skynet starts. They're so stealthy about it that aquarium workers only know about the octopus' murderous roving by the damp tracks left between tanks. There you go: Half your horror novel is already written for you.
The only reason we don't see octopuses just moseying along the promenade every day is simply because they're mostly nocturnal, so their stalking happens under cover of darkness. As though that makes it less unsettling.
#3. Armadillos Can Swim Underwater
Armadillos are nature's tiny Sherman tanks, scurrying their way across the sun-baked desert highways of North and South America. If we asked you to picture one, you'd most likely imagine it against a backdrop of cacti and wandering coyotes, or perhaps coiled up in a ball and rolling along the barren plain like a little beige Samus Aran.
Serjio74/iStock/Getty Images
Old cowboy trick: When you're thirsty, crack an armadillo open and fill your canteen.
You almost certainly didn't imagine it paddling across a lake and chilling with the fish.
Except ...
Against all reason, armadillos are pretty fantastically well-designed for water. It turns out nature's own speed bump is capable of filling its armored tummy with air and floating across relatively large bodies of water like the world's most adorable D-Day invasion.
Their stomachs and intestines can hold enough air to counteract the weight of their armored shells, allowing them to dog-paddle across ponds, rivers, and lakes. In fact, it's not too uncommon for people to find armadillos taking a little leisure time in their swimming pools.
Carey Whaley
"Whatever. I'm not the one peeing in it."
If that's not surprising enough, armadillos can dive underwater for up to eight minutes by holding their breath and using their claws to walk along the bottom. They'll often employ this trick to cross rivers. If that doesn't seem remarkable to you, picture diving to the bottom of a river one day only to find a happy armadillo casually motoring across the bottom. You'd think the Matrix had glitched and loaded him in the wrong spot.

5 Outrageous Lies Companies Are Legally Allowed to Tell You
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
No, a cup of hot tea won't reduce stress or help you lose weight. Bee pollen has no known health benefits. Acai berries have no magical powers above and beyond those of normal berries.
But there might not be any food category more subject to unwarranted bullshit claims than chewing gum. Will it whiten your teeth? Sure, kinda! Give you energy? Goddamn right it can! Maybe! Still, there are limits to what chewing gum can be presented as, right? It's just inedible candy, after all -- the most pointless of human foods. It's not like anyone has claimed chewing gum is an effective antibacterial medicine and slapped an absurd price tag on it.
Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
Don't tell Jenny McCarthy. She'll flip out.
Ah, come on! Of course they have!
In 2008, chewing gum giant Wrigley decided to pull out all the stops and see what the public would really pay for their product. They came up with Eclipse Gum, a chewing gum that would not just mask your bad breath, but actually murder it. Initially priced at around $10, Eclipse was said to contain a natural ingredient that kills the germs that cause bad breath. Later, they introduced a new, improved version that also boasted antiseptic qualities and actually worked as an anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis drug.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Sir, your prescription is ready."
The competitors soon kicked up a fuss and it was revealed that the ridiculously overpriced Eclipse Gum didn't actually do anything. Even though Wrigley denied that they had ever lied (and even though it must have been pretty hard to feel sympathy for people who are willing to drop $10 on a pack of gum), the court ruled against the company and Wrigley was forced to compensate everyone who was willing to admit they'd bought a pack.
Of course, Wrigley took absolutely nothing of this to heart. They just added a small disclaimer here ("We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented") and a warning there and went right back to selling Eclipse. Today, Eclipse Gum can knock you back nearly $30 on Amazon -- and the only change to the product's claims is that now they say it's also a good substitute for snacks.

You're not fooling anyone. We know there's a ham sandwich behind that bubble.
#1. Junk Food Will Forever Claim to Be a Healthy Alternative to Something
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
There's an old saying in advertising that any food, no matter how unhealthy, can be promoted as low in one thing or high in another. For instance, cotton candy is very low in nicotine, and Krispy Kreme donuts, which are rings of fat that are fried and then coated in sugar, are low in trans fat:
Via Krispy Kreme
No, seriously, think. Think about what you're reading versus what you're about to buy.
But even the biggest fans of Coca-Cola probably don't think of it as a health drink -- no one's chugging Coke before they head to the gym. This isn't a Vitaminwater situation. Coke is popular because we, as consumers, have made the decision to willingly purchase and drink candied fart water as a guilty pleasure. And that's totally fine.
Fine for everyone, that is, except Coke. Coca-Cola has long harbored a desire to be perceived as healthy. To combat the fact that their main product is essentially acidic liquid sugar, they employ all sorts of shenanigans to convey a healthy image. From rampant sports advertising to Coke Workout Calculators ("Select your favorite Coca-Cola drink to generate activity suggestions for a healthy, balanced lifestyle!"), the company is constantly blasting the market with visions of Coke as a healthy drink, despite all evidence to the contrary. But the most glaring example of their blatant abuse of the concept of "healthiness" was the Motherhood & Myth-Busting advertisement they ran in Australia.
The ad was formatted like a mythbusting infographic, explaining at length how this poop-colored caffeine water was not only "kiddy safe," but somehow wouldn't contribute to obesity, tooth decay, or health problems in any way. To give this blatant fuckery the shiny veneer of authority, they decided to hire Kerry Armstrong (a popular Australian actress) to endorse their myth busting.
Via Theage.com.au
Because who's more trustworthy than someone who makes a living pretending to be other people?
This particular ad was so blatant that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission forced Coca Cola to immediately pull the plug on the campaign. What's more, the Aussie officials displayed a sense of humor only living in the Spider Kingdom will give you: They forced Coke to embark on a very different kind of ad campaign called "Setting the Record Straight," essentially making the company eat their false claims along with a big bag of dicks. Well played, Australia. Well played.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Stephanie Breslow '84
Breaking Barriers
Stephanie Breslow '84 is the first woman to serve on the executive committee at the 88-partner New York law firm of Schulte Roth & Zabel. Breslow reached that lofty position thanks to years of hard work and an open disregard for societal expectations. There were few women attorneys at the top to guide her, so she had to feel her own way. "It was daunting," says Breslow, who specializes in investment management, partnerships, and securities. "I would see women sort of getting derailed, and I gave a lot of thought to why that was."
Her desire to tear down boundaries is, in part, genetic. Breslow's mother worked at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University as a biochemistry professor, a position she achieved in the 1950s, when sexism permeated American culture. "To me, having a serious profession is something I just took for granted," says Breslow. "I never considered scaling back."
Having built a solid and successful career, Breslow now makes time to promote gender equality in the law, periodically speaking to women's law groups about how to scale the gender barrier and succeed. She has also signed on as the first advisory board member to Professor Katherine Franke's Gender & Sexuality Law Program at the Law School. "When I was a more junior lawyer, sexism was much more overt," Breslow recalls. "I think things have dramatically improved since then."

HUNTSVILLE (November 14, 2012)--Sex offender Ramon Torres Hernandez, 39, was executed Wednesday evening in Huntsville for the rape, robbery and murder of a 37-year-old San Antonio woman 11 years ago.
Hernandez was one of three people convicted in the murder of Rosa Maria Rosado who was grabbed and thrown into a car that Hernandez was driving when she wouldn't release her purse during a drive-by robbery at a San Antonio bus stop.
She was bound and gagged, and then taken to a motel where she was raped and killed.
She was later buried in a shallow grave in a wooded area.
Hernandez asked one of his co-defendants to buy the shovel used to dig the grave while the woman was still being raped, authorities said.
Hernandez was on parole at the time of his arrest in Rosado's death.
He also was a suspect in the slayings of three teenagers and a 12-year-old girl.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused last month to review his case, and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles refused his clemency request earlier this week.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejected a last-day effort Wednesday to block the execution.
Hernandez argued in his appeal that he had new evidence that the lawyers who represented him early in the appeals process were deficient.
His execution Wednesday evening in Huntsville was the 14th this year in Texas.
Another inmate, Preston Hughes, is scheduled to die Thursday for a double murder in Houston in 1988.

What is the origin of the phrase "hunky dory"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
My two favourite sources for this kind of question are The Word Detective and World Wide Words.
They both cite the Japanese road theory, the Word Detective then adds:
And Michael Quinion adds:
My favourite quote is from the Word Detective:
Etymonline says
But that's pretty nebulous.
Edit: I'll add that I don't see how you'd get hunky-dory from Honcho Dori, which would be pronounced something like "HOE-NN-CHO DOE-(d)EE" ( the (d) representing a soft vocalized tongue tap).
The earliest I found is in the 1866 book Tony Pastor's Waterfall Songster: A Splendid Collection of the Newest Comic Songs, Written and Sung by the Renowned Comic Vocalist, Tony Pastor, at his Celebrated Opera House, in a song called "Hunkydory":
It's the second song in the book after the eponymous "Waterfall Song", so perhaps it was a popular one.
Gary Martin of The Phrase Finder found the same song (with almost identical words and to the same tune) four years earlier:
Martin found some other 1866 quotations:
I found some 1880s snippets that offer explanations. First, Library of Universal Knowledge, Volume 1 (1880):
Hunky dory isn't in the OED, but this US slang meaning of the hunky is, the noun dating from 1861 ("he was 'a hunkey boy'"), with similar hunk from 1856 "Now he felt himself all hunk").
Second and less believable, Cruise of the revenue steamer Corwin in Alaska and the N. W. Arctic ocean in 1881 ...: Notes and memoranda ... (1883):
Here's what I found in a New York State newspaper from 1870:
Google translates "non compos" as "not in control" but its translation of the full expression leaves much to the imagination: "Dover hook on the uptake." Origin in post-Civil War time seems to be realistic.
Derived from the Latin, "Hunkous Dorius" who was known for his fair disposition said to arise from his parentage, his father being an owl and his mother, Sensoua, the step-sister of the goddess Venus.
Hunkous Dorius, was the hero of a number of stories, he was said to be a teacher, a sailor and an athlete of tremendous prowess. When the Discus was thrown properly, sometimes a shout or cry of "Hunky Dory" would be heard, as an exclamation as to the righteousness of the throw.
To this day its usage remains a positive statement of the current state of affairs and is frequently used in programming androids and bio-forms to provide a positive null state for default programming functions and indicates a properly working programming state with all basic variable defined and ready to populate with proper values.

5 Superpowers We All Had as Babies (According to Science)
#2. Mutant Metabolism
Ever notice that infants don't have such weight problems? What's their secret? Why, a pile of borderline-magic fat, of course.
Of course
Around five percent (or six ounces) of all infants' body mass is Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT), or brown fat. Unlike the hideous "white fat" around your belly, chest, arms, neck and feet (seriously eat some vegetables), brown fat is specifically designed to take in calories and burn them for heat until our infants are hotter than Scarlett Johansson's ass that one time it caught on fire. It does so by cranking the babies' metabolism all the way up to 11, effectively turning them into adorable furnaces for surplus calories.
In an adult body, three ounces of brown fat would be enough to burn 400 to 500 calories of white fat a DAY, or around 10 pounds a year, just from sitting on your increasingly sexier behind. Unfortunately, people lose most of their brown fat before they hit adulthood while babies just sit there, stupidly sitting on top of an amazing experience they don't even deserve because they can't appreciate it.
#1. Mega Mind
We always knew that kids have an amazing capacity for learning, but we couldn't really call babies "smart," especially after witnessing their dietary preferences for Play-Doh and miniature toy cars. The fact of the matter, however, is that baby intelligence goes much deeper than that. According to modern research, babies are making you look like a stupid jackass, all day, every day.
Humans are born with around 100 billion neurons, same as the number of stars in the Milky Way. However, without a large number of synapses, having lots of neurons is like owning an impressive gun collection with only peas and carrots to load them with. By age three, babies have around 15,000 synapses per neuron... three times as much as an adult in his prime.
Thanks to that, their supercomputer brains can constantly suck up data from their surroundings, then store, analyze and compare it relentlessly trying to understand the world they live in. The infant's capacity for gaining and processing knowledge easily surpasses that of a genius adult mind, making all babies giant nerds by nature. See? Your secret desire to punch them in the face has been perfectly natural all along!
This kid is just asking for it now.
But all good things must come to an end. Our minds just aren't designed to deal with so much information in the long run, so between years four and six the number of synapses in our neurons gets trimmed by more than 2/3rds. It's like chopping off most of your gigantic dick because there was no woman on Earth capable of taming it.
Thus, we go from infant geniuses who might have given us affordable sex androids in the future, to a bunch of stupid kids who can't even color inside the freakinglines.
What the fuck is this shit?

The closure is to allow a drainage system to be installed and an intersection to be repaved as part of a larger project which began in October.
Other improvements consist of widening the roadway to four lanes with a continuous left turn lane from Warren Street to FM 2063.
TxDOT hopes the project will increase safety and reduce road congestion.
It is slated for completion in the spring.

With continuing legal education now required for lawyers licensed in New Jersey, Rutgers School of Law–Newark and Rutgers School of Law–Camden are offering high-quality, reasonably-priced legal education to members of the State Bar.
Launched at the Rutgers–Newark law school in Fall 2009, the Institute for Professional Education (IPE) offers a variety of competitively-priced program formats, including seminars and workshops for attorneys, and in-house courses for law firms. Beginning in December, programs will also be offered at the Rutgers–Camden law school.
"We recognize the spirit of the Supreme Court's mandate that New Jersey attorneys should take advantage of educational opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills, as well as share best practices and new approaches. IPE was established to offer premier skills training and legal education," said Rutgers–Newark Law School Dean John J. Farmer, Jr. "Building on our expertise in legal education, Rutgers Law Schools are uniquely qualified to provide the best legal training available in the state to members of the Bar."
According to regulations which took effect in January 2010, every licensed New Jersey attorney must complete 24 credit hours of continuing legal education every two years. At least four of those 24 credits must be in ethics and/or professionalism.
Of particular interest are the two to four-hour IPE programs on issues in areas of substantive law and ethics, as well as day-long or multi-day practical skills workshops such as trial advocacy, deposition skills, and negotiation skills.
"As IPE enters its second year, New Jersey attorneys can look forward to an even more robust selection of seminars, skills workshops, and programs on substantive legal issues to help them satisfy their continuing education credit requirements," said Rutgers–Camden Law School Dean Rayman Solomon.
Andrew Rossner, Associate Dean for Professional Education at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, directs the CLE program at the two Rutgers' law schools.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
During World War II eighty-eight of the almost three thousand Liberty ships built in America were launched in Savannah, Georgia. Without Liberty ships, the Battle of the Atlantic might have been lost. Few remember the Liberty ships today; fewer remember the shipyard or that the Southeastern Shipbuilding Corporation was the largest industry ever located there. The land on which this shipyard stood is now derelict. Thousands drive by it every day and have no idea of the great contribution to the war effort that was made on that site.
This social history tells the story of the men and women who built these merchant ships in Savannah. Most came from rural areas and had never seen a ship, much less built one. Many were taken out of high school; others were in their seventies or eighties. The demand for labor found women being recruited for construction jobs in a man's world and performing as well as their fellow male workers. The war also brought African Americans into the shipbuilding industry, but in the segregated South they were not allowed to rise above the roles of custodians and "helpers."
For most of these workers it was not "bow" and "stern" or "port" and "starboard"; it was "pointy end" and "left and right." They lived in city housing projects and carpooled from throughout South Georgia. They worked in the heat and mosquitoes and in the bitter cold. Their work was dangerous and boring, but many worked double shifts, nights, and seven days a week. There were 45,000 of them during the four years of the shipyard's existence, and in spite of all of the problems faced, they built ships and built them well.
Cope makes use of more than 120 taped interviews with shipyard workers, merchant seamen, dock workers, and Navy and Coast Guard personnel, as well as letters and official documents, to present an authentic and moving record of the working conditions and lives of those who built the Liberty ships in the shipyards of Savannah.
Tony Cope was born and raised in Savannah, GA, where he taught and served as a school administrator for more than thirty years. He now lives in County Cork, Ireland.

"This is a touching account of a dynamic venture in Savannah's history."
— Georgia Historical Quarterly
"Having begun my career in the sixties, I was privileged to have seen Liberty and Victory ships still plying their trade twenty plus years into careers which were not expected to exceed five. Tony Cope's book "On The Swing Shift" is more than just a book about building ships in wartime. Cope goes further by delving deep into the psyche of a nation at war using many anecdotes of individuals associated with the yard or sailing on the ships built there. He describes building methods, welding rater than riveted, prefabricated rather than keel up. He details the methodology and principals of forming a convoy. There is evidence of considerable research using both published and unpublished sources. ;As a mariner, I found the description of the only voyage of the yard's first ship, the S.S. James Oglethorpe particularly captivating. On her maiden voyage she joined the the ill-fated Convoy HX 299 out of New York to become caught up in the Battle of St. Patrick's day in the mid-Atlantic. The book exceeded my expectations in the wealth of topics covered. To my mind it is a well-researched social history which examines a community confronting the needs of a nation entering a global war."
—Capt NS James Robinson (Retd) DSM FNI NS, An Cosantoir (The Defender), the Irish Defense Forces Magazine
"[A]n entertaining read. . . . Well organized and extremely well supported and documented. . . . This book is easy to read and provides far-reaching insight into a segment of World War II martime history too often overlooked . . . .This book would be a useful and relatively inexpensive addition to most maritime libraries with a focus on World War II, whether they be scholars or merely aficianados."
—International Journal of Maritime History, December 2010

I have been using Office LnFs suite for several years with various Java programs. Since, most of my users are on Windows, the Office LnFs gives the user a nice familiar look and feel.
I have found 4 bugs in Office LnFs that I would like you to fix.
1. On Vista or Win 7, if you use a JCheckBoxMenuItem for a JMenu component, the check-mark is offset in the box. i.e. It needs to be raised up and to the left by about 4-6 pixels.
2. Changing the Tab Size of JTabbedPane does not work. Office LnFs completely ignores it.
- Code: Select all
JTabbedPane tp = new JTabbedPane();
tp.addTab("General", new JLabel("Text Component 1"));
I also tried using an icon of 32x32 and Office LnFs completely ignores it too.
3. I have a JFrame with 7 components (very simple app) and 2 of the components are JTextField that are very long (i.e. 50 characters). The 7 components are added to a JPanel and the JPanel is added to the JFrame. When I do a pack() method on the JFrame, Office LnFs appears to mis-calcalute the components sizes by roughly 25%. Hence, I end up with extra blank space to the right of the components. If I switch look & feel component (to cross-platform for example) then the pack() method works just fine.
4. Office LnFs also has a problem calculating the proper width of a JToolBar. In this case, it comes up short by 15-20%.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take some time and fix these bugs.
On a different note, have you ever thought about creating a cross-platform look & feel that is modeled after your VisualStudio2005 Look & Feel?? I know it sounds weird, but it would allow me to offer the same Look & Feel on Linux and Mac OS X, as it is on Windows.

A visit to Dodge City was like a dream come true for my older son. At home, my husband makes it a special treat to watch old Western movies when they have a "guy's night." So, my six-year-old had a pretty good John Wayne impression down by the time he was four. To say the child "likes" cowboys and gun-slinging is a bit of an understatement. When we arrived at the Dodge City Visitor Information Center, we were met by a real-life-honest-to-goodness Deputy U.S. Marshal. I thought my son would go over the top with excitement. Who needs Disney anyway?

I recently got ubuntu 12.10 x64, and while trying to install the drivers for my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460, I ran into trouble. I couldn't download the linux version off the site, and I tried running the directions listed here: Ubuntu 12.04 Nvidia GTX 460 video card installation. Neither of these have worked for me. Any tips or other commands a noob could try?
Most people I have spoken to have had better luck installing the proprietary driver from nvidia. It's available at http://www.geforce.com/drivers I had to do it for my ION series card because the nouveau driver had no HDMI audio support for my card.
My suggestion would be to purge all the nvidia drivers and go with the open-source nouveau ones instead.
In terminal:
Enter your password when prompted, wait for the process to complete (prolly only a few mins) and reboot your PC.
Once rebooted, your nvidia drivers will be gone, replaced with nouveau.
I had many a trouble with proprietary nvidia drivers, but none since I changed.
Hope that helps.

Congratulations on your acceptance to NYU Liberal Studies! We hope you're excited to start your college career in the European city of Florence. While abroad, you'll follow an academic program approved by Liberal Studies so that you remain seamlessly on track toward your degree requirements and graduate on time.
We're delighted that you'll be spending your first year with us and can't wait to greet you in Florence. In the meantime, this page will guide you through everything you need to get ready for your term abroad.
Please note that the Italian government requires that your passport be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned return from study abroad. The government retains the right to deny you entry into Italy if your passport is not valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned return (through December 2017), so make sure to renew it now.
US Students who need to renew or get a new passport should have it expedited. To review procedures for having a passport expedited, they should refer to this government website. They fall under the category of needing a passport for a foreign visa within 4 weeks. If necessary, Liberal Studies can produce a letter to assist in expediting the visa. To secure it, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Students who have already submitted their passport--without having already asked for it to be expedited--can still request expedited processing by contacting a customer service center.
Unfortunately, NYU does not have the ability to change visa requirements, nor does it help if we call consulates or embassies on your behalf. Though we're happy to help you in whatever way we can, the decision to issue you a visa rests solely with the consulate or embassy. Below you'll find instructions for getting your visa, along with sample visa applications and supporting materials. Bear in mind that information is tailored for US students and that incoming students are best served by getting information from their local Italian consulate.
Consulates and Applications
Each consulate has specific regulations and requirements, so your very first step is to determine which consulates jurisdiction you fall under.
Be sure to check and recheck the consulate requirements before your appointment or submitting materials, as all requirements are subject to change without notification.
Please be sure to click on the link below and submit your summer address information through the Liberal Studies Visa and Summer Address Form by May 8th. Keep in mind that the information included on this form is very important so the sooner you return it to our office, the better.
To access the form, students will need to log in through NYUHome using their netid and password. Some students may also need to download the VPN client and Webproxy offered through NYU.
ASAP to ensure that all materials get to you promptly.
NYUHome is an excellent resource which provides you with an NYU email address, information on your bursar account and access to Blackboard where you'll be able to access a bunch of information we've put together on Florence for you to read before you leave. Once you have access to NYUHome, please make sure to update your addresses and phone numbers in our system—that ensures that we're able to contact you with important information, including essential mailings as we'll use the contact information you provide there. You can find instructions on how to start using NYUHome's basic functions here. Please note that you will not use NYU Home to register for classes and will instead fill out an Academic Profile Questionnaire that you will receive during the summer.
Note: If you reside at an international address, you will be unable to update your current location through NYUHome. Instead, you should contact the Registrar's Office directly at email@example.com or 001-212-998-4800 to have your address updated (in addition to submitting your summer address through the link above). Please make sure to note that you are an incoming Liberal Studies freshman who will commence studies in Florence and that you will not be able to stop by the Registrar's office to make the change in person.
In addition to the online forms, we also require two paper forms. These are simple to complete, but will require your time and may require a visit to your physician, so please plan ahead.
New York State law and/or New York University requires that all newly admitted students (graduate, undergraduate and transfers) complete several health related requirements before August 1, 2017. Please visit the Student Health Center's website for more information about the full set of requirements.
A Note about Immunizations: It is critical that students, especially those outside of the United States (where many of these immunizations are already required) make appointments with their doctors now to be immunized for MMR or Meningitis, as per University guidelines. Though the Student Immunization History Form will be mailed to you in your Summer Acceptance packet, these vaccinations may need to be given over the span of several weeks and should be started at the earlist possible date. Questions about whether prior or current vaccinations will bring you into compliance--or any other questions about immunization or other health requirements--may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Two-year Core Program students should submit the "Academic Profile Questionnaire for the Core Program" through a secure online form. GLS students should submit the "Academic Profile Questionnaire for GLS" through a secure online form.
This information will assist Liberal Studies in registering you for your courses in the fall semester. Any additional questions about submitting either Academic Profile Form may be directed to Beth Haymaker, Director of Global Programs at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To access the form, students will need to log in through NYUHome using their netid and password. Some students may also need to download the VPN client and Webproxy offered through NYU.
All students are required to submit a combination of paper and online forms. These forms are used to collect needed information for your upcoming year like housing preferences, immigration preparation, and arrival itinerary.
For more information about required forms and relevant links please see the Freshmen in Florence blog.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – The first-ever Four Points by Sheraton in the state of Kansas will open in Manhattan in 2012. A first-class facility for guests and conventions in the Manhattan community since 1980, the Clarion Hotel (530 Richards Drive) is currently in the midst of a multi-million dollar renovation project. The owner of the hotel, Dennis Hulsing, President and CEO of Hulsing Enterprises, LLC, has signed an agreement with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., to become a Four Points by Sheraton in November 2012. Focused on providing the best-possible experience for guests and recognizing the growth of hotels in the Manhattan community, Hulsing sought to introduce the largest and most aggressive renovation in the property's history and partner with one of the nation's most recognizable and trusted brands.
The initial steps in the construction project began in January with the renovation and enhancement of the hotel's guest bathrooms with the installment of new bathtubs and tile in all 197 guest rooms. Last week, the project entered its next phase as construction began on the exterior of the hotel's east side.
The exterior wall project, which is being constructed by Manhattan contractor Trinium, a sub-company of Hi-Tech Interiors, will include extending and enclosing the outside facing guest rooms on each side of the property. J Webb Design of Kansas City, an interior design company, will be in charge of redesigning a majority of the hotel's interior and exterior surfaces. A number of fellow Manhattan-area entities, including Mid-American Plumbing, Roberts Electric, Tri-City Fence, HTI, Manko, Associated Insulation Inc, Elite Concrete, Ebert Mayo, Steve Miller Construction, and Cool Enterprises, will provide extensive involvement in facilitating assistance as the hotel upgrades and enhances its many amenities to continue to provide guests with an outstanding experience within the largest operating space of any hotel in the Manhattan community.
"Obviously, as the Manhattan community remains in a stage of exciting and continual growth, we remain committed to our mission of providing first-class services to our thousands of guests and clients annually," said Jenn Alley, Director of Sales and Catering at the Clarion Hotel. "We maintain outstanding partnerships with a variety of different groups, including both large and small state associations, intercollegiate athletics organizations and Division I-A athletic teams, and also remain a perfect venue for wedding receptions, family gatherings, as well as an abundance of other independent meetings.
"As this hotel undergoes this vast and exciting transformation to an upscale facility, we will significantly enhance the experience for our valued guests while maintaining the same outstanding customer service and individual attention that visitors have come to expect when walking through our doors."
The present Clarion Hotel first opened as a Holiday Inn Holidome and operated under that brand name during its first 26 years. In 2006, K-State alumnus and supporter Dennis Hulsing, of Hulsing Enterprises, LLC, purchased the property, and immediately financed guest room and public area renovations before re-flagging to the Clarion Hotel brand that September. The hotel has facilitated annual enhancements in each of the past five years under Hulsing, including the installment of bathroom tile and granite counter tops, and updated carpet in both the lobby and in guest rooms.
Four Points by Sheraton falls under the umbrella of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., with a reputation for providing outstanding service and guest satisfaction at an affordable price. The array of amenities includes modern and comfortable guest rooms, complimentary Internet access, 42-inch Televisions, a delicious breakfast, and a local beer program, Best Brews.
Starwood offers many other hotel brands, including Aloft, Westin, W Hotels, St. Regis, and Element. Guests of these brands can join the Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program and earn rewards by accumulating points and miles.

WHEELING - As soon as the soaking wet Indian Creek and John Marshall softball teams broke from their postgame handshakes, they posed for pictures with plaques and trophies.
After, they bolted to the dugouts to dry off from the torrential rain that dampened the I-470 Youth Sports Complex in Wheeling.
At that exact moment, the sun came out.

The Indian Creek softball team received its award for winning the OVAC Class 5A regular season on Saturday at the Chambers I-470 Youth Sports Complex.
"It would've been nice to have that earlier," said John Marshall coach Ed West.
What he did have earlier, though, was timely hitting and clutch defense from his Monarchs.
John Marshall built an early lead on Indian Creek and held on for a 6-4 win in the OVAC 5A championship game.
Fact Box
John Marshall 6, Indian Creek 4
Creek 000 002 2 4 7 2
JM: Kinnick (2K, 1BB), Blake (2K, 1BB) and Hall. George D, 2RBI; Gellner S; Rogerson S; Blake.
CREEK: Geanangel (8K, 2BB) and Orr. Geangel S, HR, 4RBI; Sullivan S, D; Orr S; Karis S; Monroe D.
"I thought it was a really good game," West said, despite the rain that fell for the duration, causing a 20-minute delay in the third inning. "I thought both teams played well. There were some big hits on each side and there were some great defensive plays on each side.
"It was a good game to watch and a good game to be a part of."
The Redskins out-hit JM, 7-4, and it could have been a much higher disparity. Nearly all of Creek's outs were hard hit to the deep outfield or stingy liners that just happened to be caught on diving attempts from the John Marshall infield.
The Redskins only struck out four times, while flying out 10 times.
"We hit the ball squarely and probably better than they did," said Indian Creek coach Angie Penner.
The Monarchs had planned for that, however.
"We made several really nice defensive plays and that's really been the secret to our success all year," West said. "Our pitchers keep us in the games, our hitters come through, but when our defense stops the other team we have the best chance at winning."
The Monarchs had three singles in the second inning and scored one run. They added two more in the third - thanks in part to three errors by Creek in the frame.
"The moral of the story is, our errors came back to hurt us," Penner said. "That took us out of the game. You can't have that and win a championship game against a good team like John Marshall.
"You have to be on all cylinders."
For the most part, Redskins pitcher Paige Geanangel was.
She struck out eight, walked two and only allowed four hits. She saved a run in the first inning by lunging to tag out Jackie Gellner on a close play at the plate.
"That was a courageous play and fired everybody up right away," Penner said. "We were proud that Paige kept one of the top-ranked softball programs in the state of West Virginia to four hits.
"She, like the rest of the team, was focused and came to play."
Geanangel's bat kept the Redskins (12-2) in it as she belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning, which made the score 3-2.
She was a strike away from keeping the Monarchs at bay in the top of the seventh, but with two outs Sissy George delivered a two RBI hit that sailed to the right field fence.
"Had things went a little bit differently there," Penner said, "we may end up with the victory."
That's because Geanangel came through again. The junior brought home Sidney Karis and Abby Orr on a hard-hit single up the middle in the bottom of the seventh.
Another hard hit ball by Bethany Davis nearly brought in the tying and go-ahead runs, but it was snared by the right fielder near the fence.
"Our girls didn't give up when it looked bad," Penner said. "They played the full seven innings and kept fighting."
With the win, John Marshall clinched its third-straight OVAC crown and ninth in program history.
"I don't know if it's an expectation but we certainly knew that we had the team this year to compete," West said. "We're playing really well right now."
Gellner, Rogerson and Blake recorded the other hits for the Monarchs. Mallorie Sullivan, Orr and Karis added singles as Alexis Monroe ripped a double for the Redskins.
Creek's next game is Tuesday, at home, against Carrollton for senior night.

5 Ways We're Screwing With Wild Animals (For Their Own Good)
Animals are pretty good at dealing with the crap of Earth's least considerate roommate, Man. Well, except for the ones we wiped out somehow. These days we at least have the decency to feel bad about that kind of thing, so if a species falls on hard times, we'll come up with a conservation program or something. Make a token effort to look sad about their imminent obliteration. However, sometimes our best intentions seem indistinguishable from taunting the poor bastards in their darkest hour ...
(When the animals take their revenge on us, you'll need to be ready. So let The De-Textbook train you to fight the mimic octopus, nature's Predator-esque camouflage expert.)
#5. Poisoning Quolls to Save Them
Michael Barritt & Karen May, via Wikipedia
Meet the quoll, Australia's cutest marsupial (koalas lost the title right around the time we learned they all had chlamydia):
"Don't worry, baby; I'm clean."
Roughly the size of a small dog, these guys are cousins of the Tasmanian devil. Being carnivorous, quolls generally pick off smaller animals such as lizards, birds, and other unfortunates.
Now meet the cane toad, an abomination of a creature whose heart is filled with poison, both literal and figurative:
Ian Waldie/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Appropriate for an animal that seems frozen in a look of permanent disdain.
The cane toad, being venomous, can usually kill the creature that consumes it. Granted, that's cool from a revenge perspective -- it's undoubtedly Inigo Montoya's spirit animal -- but it's ultimately not all that great of a deal for either animal involved, which is what makes it all the more incredible that scientists introduced the cane toad into the Australian quoll's environment on purpose.
Needless to say, it has unleashed something of a quoll holocaust.
If "Quoll Holocaust" isn't a heavy metal band by the end of this article, we have grossly misread our audience.
See, the ovulation-inducing cuteness of the quoll is matched only by its savagery; if quolls can fit their adorable wee jaws around something's spine, it's dead meat. Given that a cane toad's only defense strategy is to sit there stupidly and hope its poison saves the day, their meetings end in a nil-all draw with two very dead animals regretting their life decisions. But the quolls are losing the long game: Wherever the toads go, the quoll population crashes.
But never fear, quolls -- science is here to help! In an effort to teach quolls to make better dietary choices, researchers from the University of Sydney figured that if they could make cane toads taste like they're lethal, quolls might just avoid them. So they chopped up a few cane toads, laced them with cattle dewormer, and fed them to the quolls, who wolfed down their special dinner. Then the poison kicked in and the poor little guys "pawed at their faces" in adorable distress as the nausea took hold.
D'aww. Who wouldn't want to poison a face like that?
A dick move, to be sure.
But it's working, as some quolls decided that they would permanently give up cane toad for Lent. Which is nice, but we imagine others are still shuddering out in the woods somewhere, recalling the night that science gave them the worst shits this side of second-day Chick-Fil-A.
#4. Sawing Off Rhino Horns to Prevent People from Sawing Off Rhino Horns
You may have heard that rhino horn is an aphrodisiac. That's not necessarily true, but people have used it to (pretend to) fix everything from "feverish colds" to demonic possession. Modern gullibility thinks it'll cure cancer and banish hangovers.
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
We just hit up IHOP, but maybe eating the ground remains of a sword-faced murder-monster might work, too.
Of course, a rhino horn is basically a fingernail that evolved into a murder weapon and has no more curative properties than the filthy bits under your own nails, but you can still get $100,000 a kilo for ground-up rhino horn in Vietnam. That's quite a bit more than the same amount of crystal meth, and with a supplier that's very nearly as unpredictable and almost as likely to stab you.
Oli Scarff/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"He took it to the peehole?"
"Right up it."
Sadly for the rhino, dehorning is usually carried out by ill-informed criminal dickwads with stubby fingers made nearly useless by decades of severe inbreeding, and thus the "surgery" is almost always fatal. So rangers came up with a novel solution to stop dehorning: dehorning.
That wasn't a typo.
When rangers spot a rhino gallivanting about the savannah (as we all know they do when nobody's looking), they follow him with a helicopter and drop him with a tranquilizer dart. Then they simply steal the horn themselves, slicing it off as the beast slumbers. The difference here is that rangers actually know what they're doing, and when it's done right, dehorning doesn't hurt the rhino at all (well, that's what they say, anyway). The horn grows back, though, so the rhinos need to be rounded up every couple of years for another expensive manicure, and all those drugs risk Winehousing the poor beasts. Tourism operators also worry that people won't pay to look at such a pitifully emasculated excuse of a badass beast:
Jo Benn/WWF
"Look at that pussy; I could totally kick his ass. Hold my beer."
But even with this depressing list of problems, dehorning has cut poaching rates enough to be the go-to move when a population is circling the drain. Fortunately, scientists may have a better idea. Instead of chopping the horn off, they infuse it with the same kind of dye used to stain notes from bank robberies. It shows up on X-ray scanners, making smuggling much tougher, and just for laughs they also mix in an insecticide. Any Vietnamese bureaucrat taking this stuff for his hangover will explode in a hell-rain of vomit and diarrhea so brutal, he'll probably quit facilitating the death of an endangered species altogether and just eat a bacon sandwich instead.
#3. Hitting Crocodiles With Sticks to Increase Their Numbers
Tom Brakefield/Stockbyte/Getty Images
By the 1970s, environmentalism was damn near a thing, and saltwater crocodile hunting was banned. No one was too bothered by this, as by that time we had already killed so many that there weren't enough crocs left to either hassle humans or be profitable enough to hunt. Their numbers quickly rebounded. But as you'd expect of a prehistoric reptile, "public relations" was not listed under "strengths" on their resumes. As the population regrew, they moved back into their old turf and promptly set about eating people and attacking boats.
The locals were less than enthused about being eaten by giant terror-beasts. They were unhappy even for Australians, whom you'd assume would be used to that kind of thing. Calls grew to blast the crocodile back into a more amenable scarcity. So how do you protect a dangerous, unwelcome animal living in a remote area where the locals are so jaded by murder that they moved into its headquarters?
It turns out you steal their babies.
Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net
The government sets a quota and hands out permits for egg collection. Then, armed only with sticks and genitals of cold, hard steel, Australians wade through murky water until they find the nesting mound of a saltwater crocodile. If the pissed-off mama croc is still hanging around, someone holds her off with a stick while someone else swipes the eggs -- which means you need at least two people crazy enough to fight a crocodile with a branch for giggles. Said one laconic participant, "You just have to hit them with a stick to keep them away from you."
Tom Brakefield/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Nah, a stick should be fine. What's the worst a crocodile could do?"
The world's ballsiest hobbyists then sell the eggs to farms for the moderate price of $45 a pop, and suddenly landowners have an incentive to let man-eating reptiles hang out in their backyards. Only about 5 percent of wild croc eggs end up as adults anyway. Birds and fish find the babies a deliciously ironic snack, and adult crocs happily combine population control with dinner. But on the farm, 90 percent survive for a few good years before they're slaughtered for meat and leather.
Sure, it's not ideal for the individual crocs that end up as Eurotrash man-purses, but after 30 years of the ranching program, everyone else is doing great. Landowners are happy to let them be, because even if their tenants are dicks sometimes, at least they pay rent. For Aboriginal communities, crocs are bringing in badly needed cash and jobs. And the wild crocodiles are doing fine. There were about 3,000 left in 1971; now there's over 100,000 of them cruising Australia's waterways. Everybody wins!
Almost everybody.
Well, except for maybe a few ill-informed tourists who were blissfully ignorant enough to assume that it was safe to swim in Australia.

El Salvador clinched second spot in Group B to advance to the quarter-finals, defeating Argentina 4-3 in an all-or-nothing clash at Ravenna/Italy 2011. The win marked a historic occasion for the Salvadorans, who, prior to this tournament, had failed to collect a single win, while it sent the Argentinians home early.
Agustin Ruiz, the last-gasp hero in El Salvador's last outing against Oman, was denied from the spot by Argentinian goalkeeper Cesar Mendoza before a goalless first period came to an end.
In a quickfire exchange in the space of just 43 seconds, El Salvador's Frank Velasquez scored with a cross-shot before Luciano Franceschini and Jonathan Levi both netted to put Argentina one up on the Central Americans. However, making amends for his earlier penalty miss, Ruiz nodded home to knot things at two apiece.
Jose Membreno then scored from a free-kick midway through the third period, while Walter Torres also scored off a free-kick to give El Salvador a two-goal lead. A late surge from Argentina saw Jonathan Levi reduce the arrears, scoring his second, but it was too little too late. El Salvador claimed a historical last-eight berth where they will face a tough test against hosts Italy on 8 September.

It was at Auburn Elementary where one parent claims a small red Gideon's bible sparked controversy.
"In November, my son came home with a red Gideon Bible that he says was brought into his classroom by a man with a box, and the students were told if they wanted to accept it, they could come up to the front of the class and accept it," said concerned parent Heather Alms.
Alms says this puts young students in a compromising position.
"That puts that 10-year-old in a position where they have to choose whether or not to go up to the front of the class and take a Bible, that their family may not practice. They may not read that Bible," said Alms.
That's a position she says no child should be left in.
"It's not about religion, it's about providing an opportunity to learn in a safe environment where children are not isolated or ostracized due to cultural differences," said Alms.
Kentucky Equality Federation it's a legal issue. Palmer says the distribution of religious material in a public school violates section 5 of the Kentucky Constitution.
"First of all, that's not legal or constitutional, but even if it were, if they can legally hand out one religious publication, then they can also hand out other religious publications." "Our order to them was to cease and desist immediately the distribution of, or permitting the distribution of any religious material in any manner to any student in the school district," said Kentucky Equality Federation President Jordan Palmer.
This request came after Alms notified the Kentucky Equality Federation of her concerns.
Palmer says now they are awaiting a response from Logan County Schools and will take further legal action if their requests are not met.
The superintendent of Logan County Schools declined to comment, other than to say they are working with the school board's attorney to evaluate their options, and plan to respond to the Kentucky Equality Federation with their decision soon.

I've been trying to teach myself TDD over the last couple of months, if I put up a whole class and test fixture on SO and asked for people's feedback does this just simply overstep the line of 'Avoid asking questions that are subjective, argumentative, or require extended discussion.' or would it be tollerable if marked as a community wiki?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Yes, this would overstep the line, because you're asking for general feedback. There's no single objective answer or set of correct answers to that, so it would fail the subjective and not-a-discussion tests. In your case, Community Wiki is irrelevant; it's designed to allow more people to contribute, not make discussion questions okay.
You get points for coming to meta and asking about what the right thing to do is, though. We like you. You can stay.
Stack Overflow works best for specific questions, not for a code review. If you narrow down your question, and phrase it in a way that would be helpful to someone else in the future, you'll have much better luck.
There's two questions here, really. One is if it's likely to be closed, and I think that likely. Another is what sort of answers you'd get if the question weren't closed, and I don't think you'd get good ones. Doing an actual code review would be too much like work for me. You're much better off with specific questions.

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional hypersurface in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$, such that principal curvatures are bounded from below by a constant $\delta$. Is there any lower bound on the curvature of the curves on $M$? Curves should be intersection of a two plane and the manifold.
Let $P$ be a 2-plane in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ and $\gamma=P\cap M$. Choose a parametrisation of $\gamma$ by arc-length. Then the curvature of $\gamma$ is $K=||\nabla_{\dot\gamma}\dot\gamma||$, where $\nabla$ is the flat covariant derivative in $P$ (or in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ as $P$ is totally geodesic). Now, the Levi-Civita covariant derivative $\nabla^g$ of $(M,g)$ is related to $\nabla$ by $$\nabla_XY=\nabla^g_XY+h(X,Y)\xi,$$ where $h$ is the second fundamental form and $\xi$ is a unit normal vector field. Using your assumption $h(X,X)\ge \delta^2 g(X,X)$ for every $X$ tangent to $M$, one gets $$K=||\nabla_{\dot\gamma}\dot\gamma||=\sqrt{||\nabla^g_{\dot\gamma}\dot\gamma||^2+h(\dot\gamma,\dot\gamma)}\ge\sqrt{h(\dot\gamma,\dot\gamma)}\ge \delta.$$ This proves your claim.
No. For example, on a 2-sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, you can draw a circle as small as you like. (Answer withdrawn: this of course answers the question with the bounding in the other direction)

Gator Mulcher Blade
for Exmark - Gator mulcher Blade
For the Exmark Lawn Mower are one of the highest-quality, best-performing, and
longest-lasting mulching blades on the market today. The high air lift of each
blade pulls the grass up to be cut. Then the angled teeth redirect the
clippings back toward the cutting edge over and over again. The
resulting finer grass clippings increase bagging capacity and promote
faster decomposition for a healthier lawn. Gator Mulcher Blades For Exmark Lawn Mower come in 3
different types
G3 Gator Blades:The G3 is the standard gator
mulcher blade. It gives you the ability to mow faster at higher speeds than
traditional mulching blades.
G5 Gator Blades:G5 blades have higher air
lift and a longer cutting edge than the G3. This promotes even better mulching performance.
Plus with Fusion technology, your blade stays sharp 40% longer than traditional
G6 Gator Blades:G6 blades are considered the
heavy-duty gator blades. The increase in thickness and width extends the life
of the blade. Combine longevity, sharpness, and an extended cutting edge, you
have the ultimate mulching blade.
