There are so many fractal which are not uniquely characterize by some fractal parameters like Fractal dimension, Succolarity, Lacunarity, Morphological entropy. Can you suggest some fractal parameters which would be able to characterize distinctly from other fractals?
Fractal curvature might be the answer. In differential or convex geometry, you need curvature to classify sets up to isometry. So it seems natural to introduce curvature for "fractals" in an attempt to get a finer geometric description. This has been done for mostly self-similar fractals by Winter, Zähle, Rataj, Kombrink, and me (Bohl, formerly Rothe). The full generalization to self-conformal sets is my upcoming PhD thesis.
Philosophically, and literally in differential geometry, curvature takes the second derivative of "coordinates" into account. In contrast, the Hausdorff and packing measures, most other dimensions, Minkowski content (=lacunarity), and surface content are only sensitive to the first derivative. Topological entropy is related to Gibbs / equilibrum measures if you have some kind of iterated function system, and these measures also belong to first order geometry.
It does matter how you are thinking of fractals. If you are thinking of all sets of Hausdorff dimension that is not integral, then there is essentially no chance of having a number of real-valued invariants that distinguish them. There are always going to be too many sets, I believe. If you use self-similarity (of some kind), or particular ways of generating sets, there is possibly a more reasonable question, of how to find quantitative measures to distinguish them.

JMS Step 8 - How to Read from an AQ JMS (Advanced Queueing JMS) from a BPEL Process
By John-Brown.Evans-Oracle on Jan 02, 2013
Welcome to the last post in the series of JMS articles on using JMS queues from within SOA. The previous posts were:
- JMS Step 1 - How to Create a Simple JMS Queue in Weblogic Server 11g
- JMS Step 2 - Using the QueueSend.java Sample Program to Send a Message to a JMS Queue
- JMS Step 3 - Using the QueueReceive.java Sample Program to Read a Message from a JMS Queue
- JMS Step 4 - How to Create an 11g BPEL Process Which Writes a Message Based on an XML Schema to a JMS Queue
- JMS Step 5 - How to Create an 11g BPEL Process Which Reads a Message Based on an XML Schema from a JMS Queue
- JMS Step 6 - How to Set Up an AQ JMS (Advanced Queueing JMS) for SOA Purposes
- JMS Step 7 - How to Write to an AQ JMS (Advanced Queueing JMS) Queue from a BPEL Process
This example demonstrates how to read a simple message from an Oracle AQ via the WebLogic AQ JMS functionality from a BPEL process and a JMS adapter. It is part of a step-by-step series of samples. If you have not yet reviewed the previous posts, please do so first, as this one references objects created created there.
1. Recap and Prerequisites
In the last two examples we created an Oracle Advanced Queue (AQ) some related JMS objects in WebLogic Server, which allow us to be able to access it via JMS. Here are the objects which were created and their names and JNDI names:
Database Objects
Database User
Advanced Queue (AQ) Table
Advanced Queue
WebLogic Server Objects
Object Name
JNDI Name
Data Source
JMS System Module
JMS Foreign Server
JMS Foreign Server Connection Factory
AQ JMS Foreign Destination
Connection Pool
In the example JMS Step 7 - How To Write To an AQ JMS Queue From a BPEL Process we wrote a simple message to that queue. In this example, we will create a composite with a BPEL process, which reads the same message from the AQ JMS using a JMS adapter.
2 . Create a BPEL Composite with a JMS Adapter Partner Link
This step requires that you have a valid Application Server Connection defined in JDeveloper, pointing to the application server on which you created the JMS Queue and Connection Factory. You can create this connection in JDeveloper under the Application Server Navigator. Give it any name and be sure to test the connection before completing it.
This sample will read a simple XML message from the AQ JMS queue via the JMS adapter, based on the following XSD file, which consists of a single string element. A message based on this XSD was written to the queue in the previous example.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
The following steps are all executed in JDeveloper. The SOA project will be created inside a JDeveloper Application. If you do not already have an application to contain the project, you can create a new one via File > New > General > Generic Application. Give the application any name, for example JMSTests and, when prompted for a project name and type, call the project JmsAdapterReadAqJms and select SOA as the project technology type. If you already have an application, continue below.
Create a SOA Project
Create a new project and select SOA Tier > SOA Project as its type. Name it JmsAdapterReadAqJms . When prompted for the composite type, choose Empty Composite.
Create a JMS Adapter Partner Link
In the composite editor, drag a JMS adapter over from the Component Palette to the left-hand swim lane, under Exposed Services.
This will start the JMS Adapter Configuration Wizard. Use the following entries:
Service Name: JmsAdapterRead
Oracle Enterprise Messaging Service (OEMS): Oracle Advanced Queueing
AppServer Connection: Use an existing application server connection pointing to the WebLogic server on which the connection factory created earlier is located. You can use the "+" button to create a connection directly from the wizard, if you do not already have one.
Adapter Interface > Interface: Define from operation and schema (specified later)
Operation Type:
Consume Message
Operation Name: Consume_message
Consume Operation Parameters
Destination Name: Wait for the list to populate. (Only foreign servers are listed here, because Oracle Advanced Queuing was selected earlier, in step 3) .
Select the foreign server destination created earlier,
AqJmsForeignDestination (queue) .
This will automatically populate the Destination Name field with the name of the foreign destination, queue/USERQUEUE .
JNDI Name: The JNDI name to use for the JMS connection. This is the JNDI name of the connection pool created in the WebLogic Server. JDeveloper does not verify the value entered here. If you enter a wrong value, the JMS adapter won't find the queue and you will get an error message at runtime. In our example, this is the value eis/aqjms/UserQueue .
URL: We will use the XSD file created during the previous examples, e.g. the JmsAdapterWriteSchema or JmsAdapterWriteAqJms projects to define the format for the incoming message payload and, at the same time, demonstrate how to import an existing XSD file into a JDeveloper project.
Press the magnifying glass icon to search for schema files. In the Type Chooser, press the Import Schema File button.
Select the next magnifying glass next to URL to search for schema files. Navigate to the location of the JmsAdapterWriteSchema or JmsAdapterWriteAqJms projects > xsd and select the stringPayload.xsd file.
Check the "Copy to Project" checkbox, press OK and
confirm the following Localize Files popup.
Now that the XSD file has been copied to the local project, it can be selected from the project's schema files. Expand Project Schema Files > stringPayload.xsd and select exampleElement : string .
Press Next and Finish, which will complete the JMS Adapter configuration.
Save the project.
Create a BPEL Component
Drag a BPEL Process from the Component Palette (Service Components) to the Components section of the composite designer. Name it JmsAdapterReadAqJms and select Template: Define Service Later and press OK.
Wire the JMS Adapter to the BPEL Component
Now wire the JMS adapter to the BPEL process, by dragging the arrow from the adapter to the BPEL process. A Transaction Properties popup will be displayed. Set the delivery mode to async.persist.
This completes the steps at the composite level.
3. Complete the BPEL Process Design
Invoke the BPEL Flow via the JMS Adapter
Open the BPEL component by double-clicking it in the design view of the composite.xml, or open it from the project navigator by selecting the JmsAdapterReadAqJms.bpel file. This will display the BPEL process in the design view. You should see the JmsAdapterRead partner link in the left-hand swim lane.
Drag a Receive activity onto the BPEL flow diagram, then drag a wire (left-hand yellow arrow) from it to the JMS adapter. This will open the Receive activity editor. Auto-generate the variable by pressing the green "+" button and check the "Create Instance" checkbox. This will result in a BPEL instance being created when a new JMS message is received.
At this point the composite can be deployed and it will pick up any messages from the AQ JMS queue. This is very rudimentary, but is sufficient for our demonstration purposes as we will see in the next step.
As with the previous examples, you can extend the BPEL process to do something useful with the message, such as pass it to another web service, write it to a file using a file adapter or to a database via a database adapter. Also see JMS Step 5 - How To Create an 11g BPEL Process Which Reads a Message Based on an XML Schema from a JMS Queue for an example of how to add a Java Embedding activity to the process to print the message to standard output.
4. Test the Composite
Execute an instance of the previous example JmsAdapterWriteAqJms which will write a message to the AQ called UserQueue, if you have not yet done so. That example also explains how to view and monitor the queue from SQL*Plus or JDeveloper. You should see a message similar to the following in the queue:
Now compile and deploy the composite JmsAdapterReadAqJms. It will immediately begin dequeuing messages from the AQ. Requery the queue to confirm that the message has been dequeued. Then, in Enterprise Manager 11g Fusion Middleware Control (EM), navigate to SOA > soa-infra (soa_server1) > default (or wherever you deployed your composite) and click on JmsAdapterReadAqJms [1.0] . You should see an instance ID listed under Recent Instances. Select it, to view its flow trace, then select the JmsAdapterReadAqJms BPEL Component.
This should display the Audit Trail, including the successful Receive activity. Click on "View XML Document" to see the dequeued message.
This concludes this example and the SOA/JMS series.
Please make use of the comments section for your feedback and questions. If there is enough interest, I will plan to do a series of webcasts to go over and demonstrate the samples shown here.

Is the food served at a non-kosher, non-Jewish run sushi restaurant considered non-kosher because of the non-kosher-ness of the knives, the bishul akum of the rice, or both?
Sign up

Both of these problems that you mentioned, as well as others, are issues. Bishul akum would probably be more of an issue than the knives (although it may or may not apply to rice) since the knives would always be used on cold things and are probably washed; however, the knives may have been used on foods with a sharp taste (such as an onion), which renders temperature irrelevant, although you could get around this problem by ordering something that does not have any of these sharp-tasting foods in it. Food items subsequently cut with that knife are not rendered unkosher. Also, you can't really know that they're always washed between treyf and kosher fish.
That is the more general problem anyway with non-kosher restaurants. You just don't really know what's going on the kitchen, so it's hard to justify eating there even if all of the ingredients used in the restaurant are kosher.

EVH - guitarists worldwide know exactly what those initial stand for. For nearly 40 years, Eddie Van Halen has been the guitarist that nearly every performer aspires to be. From his absolutely face melting work in the mighty Van Halen, to his guest spots on records by icons such as Michael Jackson and LL Cool J, Eddie has defined himself as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, guitarists to ever strum the instrument. If you want to play like Eddie, then fair warning, it's going to take years of practice and hard work. But, if you just want to sound like Eddie, then an EVH guitar is definitely going to be right for you. These guitars are built in conjunction with the man himself, so you know the eruption of tones they produce are going to be authentic. Take a look at what this section has to offer and you'll no doubt find a guitar that screams "I'm the one!" in no time.
The Wolfgang Special is probably the most well-known EVH Electric Guitar. This guitar is an exact replica of the one Eddie plays on stage and in the studio with Van Halen. It features custom-designed EVH humbucking pickups that are hard-mounted to the body and produce tones that will absolutely light up the sky. It also includes the first ever signature Floyd Rose tremolo bridge, complete with the EVH D-Tuna that lets you go to a drop-D tuning instantly. Simply put, this is the kind of guitar any player would be proud to own.
Another EVH option is the Wolfgang Stealth Electric Guitar. This guitar is highlighted by its stunning ebony fretboard, along with its dual hard-mounted EVH Wolfgang humbucking pickups with three-position switching. Whether you're busking on a Sunday afternoon in the park to rocking out down on Mean Street, you'll be anything but stealth with this guitar.
Eddie Van Halen is a master of his craft, so when he passes on some secrets, you'd best take notice. With an EVH guitar, you'll have all the tools needed to become a guitar hero for the next generation of rockers out there!

People are what make this world such an
interesting place. Sitting on a bench in a mall, park or airport offers a
great chance to just observe all the many types of people that make up our
world and actually help us understand why there is such a need for
diversity. People coloring pages help show us these special differences.
With billions of people around the world, it is no wonder there are so many
languages, cultures, careers and ambitions. One society may be focused on a
simple way of life, while others are racing ahead with the newest
technology and innovations. It takes all kinds of people to make the world
as interesting and exciting as it is. The trick is simply remembering to
respect and even enjoy the differences.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Two scholars from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) will address "Demystifying the Academic Game" March 19 at 10 a.m. in SUNY Geneseo's MacVittie Union Ballroom. Gerald Graff, professor of English and education, and Cathy Birkenstein, a lecturer in English, will make the joint presentation, which is free and open to the public.
Graff is a former president of the Modern Language Association of America and one of his generation's most influential commentators on education. His widely cited 1987 book, "Professing Literature: An Institutional History," was recently reprinted in a Twentieth Anniversary Edition by the University of Chicago Press.
In addition, he authored the 1992 book "Beyond the Culture Wars: How Teaching the Conflicts Can Revitalize American Education," which introduced the phrase "teach the conflicts" to describe a pedagogical approach that treats internecine critical dispute as an opportunity to show students how theoretical disagreements help to constitute academic disciplines. He also wrote "Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind," a book published in 2003 which called on academic professionals to demystify academic culture; and, with Cathy Birkenstein, "They Say/I Say": The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing, a handbook published in 2006 for teaching writing as a species of "conversation" that has set records for sales in colleges and high schools.
Birkenstein is co-director of the Writing in the Disciplines program at UIC. In addition to co-authoring "They Say/I Say," she has published essays on writing in "College English," "The Chronicle of Higher Education," "Academe," and "College Composition and Communication."
Additional information on their talk is available by calling 245-5273.

The Call to Advocacy for Your Child with Autism
In This Article:
Putting It into Action
- Start a journal to track all of the milestones your child reaches. This will make you more aware of his progress and help you gain a better appreciation for the wonderful growth that is possible for him.
- Write down your feelings in relation to having a child with autism. Don't be afraid to acknowledge feelings of sadness, hopelessness and even despair. But if you find that your journal entries are primarily focused on feelings of sorrow, consider talking with someone you trust, such as a friend, minister or a professional counselor.

What can I do to fight procrastination? I'm looking for general advice, professional research and useful tips.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
THIS well written and well referenced look at procrastination, should contain a wealth of information to get you started. Summarizing, the basic issue of procrastination is viewed in the article as a formula:
Thus, one has four methods of attack for procrastination (increase the two in the numerator, decrease the two in the denominator):
This is just the overview; read the rest for far more information and helpful suggestions, as well as for a wealth of referenced works on the subject from the available scientific and self-help literature.
You need to find what works best for you but here goes what's been working for me.
Make a list
Open a document and describe in short sentences everything you have to do today. Take notes on what you're currently working on, at what time you started and finished. By the end of the day you're gonna have a good overview of how much of your time you're spending on things that actually matters.
Why it works?
If you don't need the internet, turn it off. If you can do what your need to do without a computer, then do it without a computer. I find that when I am connected to the internet or even using a computer, I often get distracted by a blog or an app or a game, which doesn't help if I need to meet a deadline.
Obviously I can't completely avoid using a computer/the internet, but I try to minimize my computer use as much as possible (for example, I try to write my drafts on paper first and them type them in to a computer).
Just three simple steps:
But don't forget to have active rest. It is very important. If you are tired, you can't work effective.

U.K. Suspect Was Detained in Kenya in 2010
LONDON—A key suspect in last week's brutal killing of a soldier here was detained in Kenya in 2010 and deported to the U.K., people familiar with the case said on Sunday, a revelation that came as government officials faced more questions about whether British security services could have stopped the attack.
Michael Adebolajo, one of two primary suspects in custody in the gruesome stabbing death of 25-year-old soldier Lee Rigby, traveled to Kenya in 2010 but was detained and sent back to the U.K. A former United Nations monitoring official familiar with the case said on Sunday that, while in Kenya, Mr. Adebolajo met with family and associates of a firebrand cleric who had connections with a Somali militant group.
"We can confirm a British national was arrested in Kenya in 2010. [the U.K. Foreign Office] provided consular assistance as normal for British nationals," said a Foreign Office spokeswoman on Sunday.
Details about Mr. Adebolajo's trip to Kenya emerged as London's Metropolitan Police said they arrested two men, ages 24 and 28, at a residential address in southeast London late Saturday, while a 21-year-old man was arrested on the street. Two of the men were taken into custody with the use of a Taser but weren't hospitalized. Police didn't identify any of the three, who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
The arrests are the latest in the wake of Mr. Rigby's killing in London's Woolwich district on Wednesday. Witnesses said the victim was attacked by two men with knives and a cleaver on a city street early that afternoon. Two men—now identified by people familiar with the matter as 28-year-old Mr. Adebolajo and 22-year-old Michael Adebowale—were shot and arrested by police that day and remain hospitalized and in custody.
British officials face growing questions over their past interactions with Messrs. Adebolajo and Adebowale, who officials familiar with the matter say were previously known to the country's security services. The U.K. government declined to comment on reports that Mr. Adebolajo had tried to enter Somalia to join militants.
In a television appearance on Sunday, Home Secretary Theresa May declined to discuss the specifics of the case or media reports that intelligence officers had previously approached one of the suspects potentially to recruit him as an informant. But she said the security services gather intelligence in a variety of ways and "they will approach individuals from time to time."
Ms. May praised the work of the intelligence officials and the police in countering terrorism but said "we will look to see if there are any lessons to be learned." The U.K. parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee has said it would scrutinize what intelligence officials knew about the suspects behind the Woolwich killing.
She added that there now are about 500 officers and others working on the investigation, which is being led by London's Metropolitan Police.
British Prime Minister David Cameron announced a new task force late Saturday on "tackling" extremism and radicalization. The group will examine topics such as disrupting extremist activity and ways to challenge extremist ideology. The group will include government officials representing the legal system, education and religious communities.
Mr. Adebolajo's 2010 journey to Kenya will likely become a major focus. The emerging portrait of the suspects, both of Nigerian descent but raised in Britain, indicates that they converted to Islam in recent years, said officials and other people familiar with the men. Mr. Adebolajo, at least, was known to have participated in demonstrations.
Muthui Kariuki, a spokesman for the Kenyan government, on Sunday said the suspect "used a different name to come into the country. He arrived in the country as Michael Olemindis Ndemolajo. That's the man we arrested. We discovered he was a British citizen of Nigerian extraction, and we handed him over to British security forces. Until the past few days, we didn't know of the name Adebolajo, because the man we had in our records was Ndemolajo."
Matt Bryden, director of Sahan Research, a Nairobi-based think tank, and former coordinator of the U.N. Monitoring Group, a group mandated by the U.N. Security Council to monitor threats to peace and security in Somalia and Eritrea, said Mr. Adebolajo entered Kenya in November 2010, and was deported in the same month.
Mr. Bryden was at the time with the U.N. Monitoring Group, which investigates the peace and security situation in Somalia and Eritrea. He recalls the case and said Mr. Adebolajo was detained on an island off the Kenyan coast, while traveling by boat, in the direction of the Somalia border. He and his associates denied they intended to travel to Somalia, and told the court they were on the island for a cultural festival. Their destination hasn't been confirmed.
While he was in Kenya, Mr. Adebolajo met with family and associates of Aboud Rogo, a firebrand Muslim cleric based in Mombasa, Mr. Bryden said. Mr. Rogo was an outspoken supporter of al-Shabaab, the Somalian Islamist militant group known to train extremist fighters. Mr. Rogo was shot and killed by police in 2012, an incident that sparked riots among his young Muslim supporters in the coastal city of Mombasa.
Mr. Rogo was the ideological leader of the Muslim Youth Centre, or MYC. He mobilized resources, recruits and other forms of support for al-Shabaab's activities in Kenya and Somalia, according to the reports issued by the monitoring group in 2011 and 2012.
Mr. Adebolajo also met with activists and supporters of the MYC, an organization now known as Al Hijra, said Mr. Bryden, who cited sources who were part of Mr. Rogo's entourage, and have since joined the MYC.
The authenticity of the testimony the suspect and his associates gave to the Kenyan court was compromised by the fact that he and his associates had been kept in a cell together before interrogation, and their appearance in court, Mr. Bryden said.
"It compromised the opportunity for the Kenyan authorities to proceed with investigations," he said. "British security services were made aware of these events before Adebolajo's deportation back to the U.K., but such incidents are fairly routine, and there was little if anything to indicate that he or his associates were capable of the acts they currently stand accused of."
"I don't think the British security services could have done more to prevent Lee Rigby's murder," said Mr. Bryden. "But this episode certainly underscores the role that Al-Hijra, al-Shabaab and other jihadist movements in Africa have played in radicalizing travelers from the West, and the threat that they continue to represent."
Al-Shabaab took root in a chaotic Somalia, drawing al Qaeda-linked fighters to a civil war against a transitional government that controlled only a small part of East African nation's capital, Mogadishu. Some of those al Qaeda-backed fighters sought to use Somalia as a staging ground for attacks against foreign targets.
In 2010—the same year Mr. Adebolajo was reportedly detained in Kenya—al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for a multiple-bomb attack in nearby Uganda that killed roughly 80 people, many of them watching the televised soccer World Cup finals in bars and restaurants.
Since then, African peacekeepers and international donors have redoubled their efforts to defeat al-Shabaab. In the past year, African Union peacekeepers have driven al-Shabaab out of Mogadishu and its port stronghold of Kismayo. This month, foreign leaders meeting in London pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to help Somalia's newly elected democratic government recover from the civil war.
Despite strong support from foreign allies, the lingering al-Shabaab insurgency still poses a threat to Somalia's new democratic government. Militants control parts of Somalia's southern countryside, and have continued to carry out a spate of car bombings in the capital.
The probe into Mr. Rigby's death has resulted in numerous other arrests in recent days. On Friday night, Abu Nusaybah, a friend of Mr. Adebolajo, was arrested outside the studios of the British Broadcasting Corp., the Associated Press reported the BBC as saying. Mr. Nusaybah had just given a television interview in which he said Mr. Adebolajo was radicalized and alleged that British security services had tried to recruit Mr. Adebolajo. Police confirmed a 31-year-old man was arrested Friday night in London and was being questioned, the AP reported, adding that Mr. Nusaybah's account couldn't immediately be verified.
Mr. Nusaybah earlier said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal via the Twitter account he is known to use that Mr. Adebolajo "was always hurt if he heard of Muslims being harmed" anywhere in the world.

How Effective Are the Treatment Options for Children with ADHD?
Provided by the New England Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council (CEPAC), based on their Action Guide for ADHD.
Health experts estimate that ADHD affects between 6 and 16 percent of children in the U.S. — that's at least 5 million kids ages 4 to 17 years. More than 2.5 times as many boys have a diagnosis of ADHD as girls, and children from lower income families are at nearly double the risk than those from higher income households. The following is a guide to help parents understand ADHD treatment options for children preschool-age and up, based on CEPAC's review of treatment options outlined in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ's) ADHD report. Also check out these 6 action steps for parents of children with ADHD.
1 of 5
Parent-Behavior Training
Parent-behavior training involves individual or group training sessions, which typically track progress through a training manual. Sessions generally last one to two hours per week over a treatment course of 8 to 20 weeks. The main objectives include management of problem behaviors and fostering of positive and caring parent-child relationships. While programs differ somewhat in their approach, all of them utilize rewards and non-punitive (punishment-free) tools to modify child behavior. Manual-based programs include the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program®, The Incredible Years® parenting program, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.
CEPAC's Stance on Parent-Behavior Training:
- Parent-behavior training is effective in improving the outcomes of preschoolers (children ages 4 and 5) with ADHD and is an appropriate first-line treatment for most preschoolers. (Medications may still be appropriate as a first-line therapy for preschoolers with severe symptoms or certain psychological conditions.)
- For children over age 6 with ADHD, there is not enough evidence to indicate parent-behavior training is beneficial in the long-term.

Can anyone help me configure my AIM account? I have Oneiric and I want to set up my AIM account with what I believe is a chat client (the envelope icon on the top right). It is called Empathy. \n I tried to do this using Broadcast Account. It let me choose what account (Jabber, Pidgin, Aim, etc...). Once I entered my password for my AIM account, I got a pop-up asking for the master password for my Keyring. I didn't know what that was at the time so I closed that window after trying to enter my account password. Keyring apparently asks for a master password and it holds any keys you want to remember in the future. It gave me an error so I couldn't set up my AIM account completely. Now I'm trying to get back to that screen but I can only set up a Twitter or Facebook.
Can anyone tell me how to break the message up so it doesn't appear all on one line? I tried 'coding' a \n...seemed to work.

Defendant was given approval to take trip
January 10, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — One of two Steubenville High School defendants in a rape case pending in Jefferson County Juvenile Court was allowed to travel to California last week, a court official has confirmed....
1. I am pretty sure many on "house arrest" would love to travel out of State. 2. Are they in the same class at ALternative School? 3. Are they receiving counselling at school? 4. Are they taken out of class to take tests?
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This was wrong on so many levels. Who "babysat" the defendant while his guardians went to NYC to appear on The Today Show? If this family wanted to take a vacation the defendant, who is on house arrest, should have gone to the juvenile detention center until the family returned. House arrest with attendance to church and alternative school at the juvenile center only means just that -- not a trip across the country for pleasure.

Must be nice, having all that rich athlete boy privilege. Aaaaaaaand we wonder why these kids don't act like rules apply to them.

He should not have been permitted out of state and I agree with the poster who believes he should have been remanded to the custody of a juvenile detention center for the duration of what appears to be his foster parents' trip with their biological child. Oh, I forgot--Big Red Football rules, not the Ohio Revised Code.

To the editor:
I think it's time we think of the alleged victim in the alleged rape case.
I heard a disturbing report that evidence was deleted. I would like to know how that is possible if the police or prosecuting attorney had the evidence. Anything that has been put on the Internet can be found, if you have the right person to find it. I can't believe that it's lost - I believe they are trying to cover it up.
Now, I am saying I haven't heard a word abut this poor girl and the hell she must be going through. As a victim of violent crime and rape, it's so hard to talk about it and so hard for people to understand, especially to have this all texted to several students, and allegedly put on YouTube and then taken down - this evidence is out there.
I feel for the parents of that child, I don't care if she was messed up or sober, the crime is against her, once again, you aren't telling the story from the victim's point of view. This is sad and prejudicial news. No one seems to care about that girl and how this ruined her life, how allegedly being exposed to the world, her classmates, her family, it's more than a crime, and it should be a top priority for our newspapers, television stations and online coverage.
I think in Steubenville everyone seems to fear something. Remember, this young women's life will be ruined, and I see the boys still being tried as juveniles who should be tried as adults. I would like to ask everyone in this town, if their son or their neighbor's son would have been tried as adults, would they have been named in the paper? Why not now?

Nutrition for Children and Teenagers
In This Article:
Being obsessive about weight can result in various eating disorders. It is estimated that one million or more Americans suffer from some type of eating disorder. Eating disorders are more than a food problem and are linked to psychological problems.
Anorexia and Bulimia
Anorexia nervosa is a common eating disorder, which usually begins at the age of fourteen or fifteen (but can occur at a younger age), with another peak in incidence in eighteen-year-olds. It is more common in adolescent girls, but it is also found in boys and its incidence has been increasing. Anorexia causes an overwhelming fear of being overweight and a drive to be thin, leading to self-induced starvation or a severe restriction of calories that can lead to being severely underweight. Anorexia is linked to menstrual irregularity, osteoporosis (brittle bone disease) in women, and a greater risk of early death in both men and women.
Bulimia is another eating disorder marked by a loss of control and binge eating, followed by purging behaviors. The person gorges on high-calorie foods and then intentionally vomits or uses laxatives or diuretics.
Signs to Watch For
Factors that you should look for if you suspect that your child has an eating disorder include the following:
- Low self-esteem
- Recent weight loss of 15 percent or more of normal body weight, with no medical reason
- A fear of gaining weight or of being overweight
- Purging behaviors (vomiting or using diuretics—water pills—or laxatives to lose weight)
- Having a distorted image of their body size or shape (for example, believing they are overweight even though they are at a healthy weight or even underweight)
- A preoccupation with thoughts of food, calories, and weight
- Restrictive eating patterns such as frequently skipping meals, fasting, or eliminating entire food groups
- Preference for eating alone
- For young women, amenorrhea (absence of menstrual cycles) or delayed onset of puberty
- Being underweight, with a body mass index that is below normal
- Exercising compulsively
- An extreme denial of possibility of eating disorder
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Wearing bulky clothing to hide weight loss
- A recent or past event in their life that was very stressful

Just the Facts: It's a Locking-People-Up Problem
The American problem with mass incarceration is less about crime than it is about how—and who—we lock up.

In the past 30 years, the number of people in the penal system increased much more rapidly than the population.

And we don't imprison fairly, especially when it comes to drug laws.

You lie out in the sun hoping to get a golden tan, but instead walk away from your lounge chair looking like a lobster that's been left in the pot too long.
Despite health warnings about sun damage, many of us still subject our skin to the sun's burning rays.
More than one-third of adults and nearly 70% of children admit they've gotten sunburned within the past year, according to the CDC.
Here's what you need to know about how to keep your skin safe and where to find sunburn relief if you do linger on your lounger too long.
What Causes Sunburn
You already know the simple explanation behind sunburn. When your skin is exposed to the sun for a period of time, eventually it burns, turning red and irritated.
Under the skin, things get a little more complicated. The sun gives off three wavelengths of ultraviolet light:
UVC light doesn't reach the Earth's surface. The other two types of ultraviolet light not only reach your beach towel, but they penetrate your skin. Skin damage is caused by both UVA and UVB rays.
Sunburn is the most obvious sign that you've been sitting outside for too long. But sun damage isn't always visible. Under the surface, ultraviolet light can alter your DNA, prematurely aging your skin. Over time, DNA damage can contribute to skin cancers, including deadly melanoma.
How soon a sunburn begins depends on:
- Your skin type
- The sun's intensity
- How long you're exposed to the sun
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman sunbathing in Rio de Janeiro will redden far sooner than an olive-complexioned woman sitting out on a sunny day in New York City.
Signs of Sunburn
When you get a sunburn, your skin turns red and hurts. If the burn is severe, you can develop swelling and sunburn blisters. You may even feel like you have the flu -- feverish, with chills, nausea, headache, and weakness.
A few days later, your skin will start peeling and itching as your body tries to rid itself of sun-damaged cells.

There's a wonderful analogy I've been trying to understand which asserts that field extensions are analogous to covering spaces, Galois groups are analogous to deck transformation groups, and algebraic closures are analogous to universal covering spaces, hence the absolute Galois group is analogous to the fundamental group. (My vague understanding is that the machinery around etale cohomology makes this analogy precise.)
Does the Hilbert class field (of a number field) fit anywhere into this analogy, and how?
Phrased another way, what does the Hilbert class field of the function field of a nonsinguar curve defined over $\mathbb{C}$ (say) look like geometrically?

The flu is already in full swing here in South-Central Kentucky.
In the past few days, Greenview Regional Hospital has seen a 30-40 % increase of patients with flu-like symptoms in their emergency department.
Those numbers are also starting to trickle over to hospital employees, but not at a widespread level. We're told it has not affected their ability to treat patients either... and healthy employees have been very understanding and helpful as they cover extra shifts.
Like many hospitals, Greenview is taking no chances this flu season. Hand sanitizer is available almost everywhere you turn and sanitary masks are becoming part of the daily routine. Also, when patients come in with flu or flu-like symptoms, they put masks on those patients in registration or the emergency room.
In the last week, hundreds of those masks have been given out.
The hospital also adivses common sense caution among patients and visitors, especially when it comes to making visits to hospital wings at increased risk for infection. Any person experiencing any illness should not be making friendly visits to the hospital. That especially holds true when it comes to places like the maternity ward.
Sherry McDonald, the Chief Nursing Officer for Greenview says there is no need for panic... and wants to stress this is not SARS... but since the flu outbreak is widespread, everyone is encouraged to do all they can to prevent spreading infection.
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be purchased at most groceries and drug stores. Sanitary masks can be found at most home improvement and hardware stores, as well as some pharmacies. It's also a good idea to regularly disinfect shared areas at home and work, especially if you're around those who may have the flu or other illness.

Rating: r - Drug Content, Adult Situations, Profanity, Strong Sexual Content
Their relationship steadily deteriorating in the eight years following their daughter's untimely death, a married couple unable to break the cycle of grief gets a second shot at love thanks to a scrappy, underage prostitute in this family drama starring James Gandolfini, Melissa Leo, and Kristen Stewart. Ever since the death of their daughter Emily, Doug (Gandolfini) and Lois Riley (Leo) have been drifting apart. As Lois wrestles with a suffocating sense of guilt over her daughter's death, Doug copes by entering into an affair with Vivian, a local waitress. Lately, Lois hasn't even been able to muster the courage to venture outside, summoning hairdressers to her home in order to maintain appearances and communicating with few people other than her sister Harriet and the local pastor. When Vivian dies and Doug finds himself in a Baton Rouge strip club during a business trip, he realizes he's come to a dangerous crossroads in life. Turning down an offer for a private dance by 16-year-old ****** Mallory, Doug instead accompanies the girl home and makes a most unusual proposition: if Mallory will allow him to stay in her run-down apartment long enough to straighten himself out, he will pay her $100 a day for her trouble. For Mallory, who isn't used to getting money for nothing, it seems like a great deal. She accepts, and Doug phones Lois to tell her he won't be coming home. As time passes, Doug and Mallory settle into an unconventional kind of domesticity. Meanwhile, back home, Lois realizes that she'll have to act fast in order to save her marriage, even if that means venturing well outside her comfort zone for the first time in nearly a decade. Most days she can't even make it to the mailbox, but after a couple attempts, Lois manages to start up her car and get on the freeway heading south. When Lois arrives in Louisiana and discovers that her husband is living with a foul-mouthed, underage ******, she is at first horrified. Like Doug before her, however, Lois quickly warms to Mallory, due in part to her striking similarities to Emily. Before long, Lois, too, has moved in, and the three form something of an unconventional family. But when Lois attempts to steer Mallory from the path of self-destruction, the young girl bristles. Later, Mallory is hospitalized after being badly beaten by a client, and Doug and Lois rush to be by her side. Could this be the thing that pulls them back together? When Lois admits to Doug how their daughter really died, his kind understanding gives hope for a new beginning. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I've edited my pictures and went to print some of them off and burn them to a disc at a Kodak kiosk, and it is cutting off my pictures. Do I need to change format, or what else might be wrong?
Unfortunately automated kiosks do stupid things. Get a human to print these things and tell him that what you want out because he cant read your mind.
What is happening is that there is a discrepancy between the aspect ratio of your photos and the aspect ratio of the kiosks output.
For example, the most common print is a 6" x 4" which has a 3:2 aspect ratio. If you shoot with an SLR from anyone but Olympus and Panasonic, then your image starts at the same aspect ratio but if you cropped without the preserve original aspect ratio option on you may still end up with something which is not 3:2. If you shot with a fixed lens camera or an SLD other than from Sony or Pentax, what you usually start with is a 4:3 image. To complicate things further some cameras allow you to shoot in different aspect ratios including 16:9, 5:4 and 1:1.
You can do a number of things, only one of which will work for an automated kiosk:
Specify "Shrink To Fit" or Similar
Many of the printing services I have used have an option called "Shrink to Fit" or something like that. When selected, this will print the image so that it all fits on the paper. This may leave empty bands of white along the sides or top and bottom of the print, which you can trim off later.

GENESEO, N.Y. - The New York State Association of Mathematics Supervisors (NYSAMS) is inducting SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Mathematics Stephen F. West into its Mathematics Educators Hall of Fame. He will be honored by the New York State Association of Mathematics Supervisors at the 2012 Leadership Summit and Hall of Fame Dinner this evening in Albany.
West joined Geneseo faculty in 1979 and retired in 2007 but has held additional college positions since then, including interim director of institutional research and faculty coordinator of GREAT Day, when Geneseo students bring their research and creative endeavors before the college's faculty, fellow students and public. He also has served as associate dean of the college.
Throughout his career at Geneseo, West exemplified the highest ideals of teaching, helping both students and colleagues achieve their full potential, said President Christopher C. Dahl.
"Geneseo is proud to have Steve in our emeriti family," said Dahl. "We thank him for his service to the college, the community and the mathematics education profession. His leadership and passion have shaped lives of purpose and enriched the liberal arts tradition at Geneseo."
The chair of Geneseo's mathematics department, Chris Leary, said West remains a powerful figure in secondary mathematics education in New York State.
"The care that he brought to the classroom, the guidance and innovation that he brought to curricular issues, and the mentoring that he brought his students all combined to make our department a place that inspired mathematics educators across the state and nation," said Leary.
West also received a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1991 and the Distinguished Teaching Award from the Seaway Section of the Mathematical Association of America in 1993.

Recall that a space is $\delta$-hyperbolic if there is some number $\delta$ with the property that every point on an edge of a geodesic triangle lies within $\delta$ of another edge. For example a tree is $0$-hyperbolic. One of the basic facts about standard hyperbolic space is that it is $\delta$-hyperbolic for some $\delta$, and I am looking for the smallest delta which makes this true.
Full disclosure: I stole this question from Dima Burago, who brought it up as an example of of a useless problem about which he is nevertheless a little curious. I haven't exactly burned the midnight oil, but I can't solve it.

Not sure I follow 100%. I have tried this code with expected behavior:
var tabpanel = Ext.create('Ext.tab.Panel', { fullscreen : true, items : [ { title : 'One', html : 'one' }, { title : 'Two', html : 'two' }, { title : 'Three', html : 'three' } ] }); setTimeout(function() { tabpanel.setActiveItem(1); //manually switch to tab 3 after it switches to the 2nd tab }, 1000); setTimeout(function() { tabpanel.setActiveItem(0); }, 5000);Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Its more like if i have
var viewport1 = new Ext.panel()
then a tabpanel
var viewport2 = new Ext.tabpanel({
items: [
then i try to attach view2 to viewport1,
when i try to access view2 from viewport2 via the tabbar it skips to view3.

Embracing Impermanence: How a Control Freak Learned to Let Go
I have been making friends with impermanence. It may sound silly, but after a profound meditation experience, I came face to face with the realization that I am a control freak, and while that control has helped me in some ways, it has also caused me much suffering. I've opened up to the reality that everything is in a state of impermanence — the seasons change, each day is different from the previous one, all living things grow, relationships change, the years go by.
At first this was rather scary to me, as it brought up all of my fears of the unknown. I wanted to hide in my usual pattern of planning in order to maintain some power over the future. Then it dawned on me: My life is in a much better place than it used to be, and that is due primarily to the moments over the past few years when I let go and went with the flow.

3 of 7 links on my navigation menu are external links to others websites (same company but other services/not the same domain). Those websites are not the core of the business. Linking a navigation menu item to external URL is not good practice, is it? how can I solve this?
Navigation is always an interesting topic, and should be treated with care in each case. If you have a target group at hand, or a selection of your target audience – use them. You could use Card Sorting to find out what your users think of all your pages and links belonging. As a designer you are sometimes amazed how user group pages together into logical entities.
In your case, they might group all the external links into one logical entity and label it "External Resources", then that would be your choice – adding an External Resources link to you navigation menu. The label could also be "Partners", "Vendors", "Manufacturers'" or the like.
But your users might also group in a different way, such as in sub groups. Let's say you have Products as a top navigation item, and you have external links to the manufacturer of this particular product, then user might feel that this link should be on these specific product pages, way down in the navigation hierarchy.
It all boils down to how your target users group all your pages, and what your external links represent.
If the websites aren't the core of the business I would never place them in the main navigation.
I might support the idea of external links in the navigation if the other sites have the same design and you could easily navigate between all websites.
I think that most users don't pay attention to the address bar unless they want to switch site.
Have you considered adding an external icon such as the usual globe and chain link icon?

When we send people to another site of ours, or another environment that is sufficiently different to cause confusion, we hit them with an alert in a lightbox.
This technique might work best with the visual cue method suggested by @TJH .
By using the icon on the link, and then carrying that icon through to the alert box, you help users who don't want to leave the current site to identify future external links.

I would like to perform a modified co-immunoprecipitation assay using a GFP-tagged protein. We are going to bind the tagged protein to anti-GFP antibody then bind that to protein A/G beads, however we want to be able to selectively elute the tagged protein off the beads. I know that you can elute a FLAG tagged protein off of M2 anti-FLAG antibody by adding excess FLAG, so can I use the same approach with my GFP tag? If so, does anyone know a commercially available GFP monoclonal antibody who's epitope has been mapped so I can use excess epitope to elute my protein? Or possibly a source of recombinant GFP?
I found a paper that describes a method to purify GFP fusion proteins using affinity chromatography: "Purification of GFP fusion proteins with high purity and yield by monoclonal antibody-coupled affinity column chromatography" (1). Unfortunately I don't have access to the full text, so I can't check how exactly they elute the GFP fusion protein from the column. They describe a specific monoclonal antibody they use, there should be information on how to obtain it in the paper.

The word bicycle is pronounced /'baɪsɪkəl/ (bahy-si-kuhl), like sickle. However, the words unicycle and motorcycle both have the -cycle pronounced as /-'saɪkəl/ (sahy-kuhl). Is there some sort of reason for this, or is this just a vagary of English pronunciation?

Although such variation could be the result of things like when the word was borrowed into the language, this variation is probably due to the prosodic structure of the words; we get different vowel sounds because of the way that stress influences vowel quality in English.
In English, unstressed vowels are generally reduced. Take the word record for example.
Now for bicycle and unicycle:
The reason boils down to English prosody and stress patterns.
First, a general observation that the vowel [aɪ], which is the first vowel in cycle, very rarely occurs in unstressed syllables. Unstressed syllables that would otherwise contain this vowel tend to reduce it to [ɪ] or even [ə], as nearly all English vowels are so reduced when they occur in unstressed syllables. From this we can infer a general pattern that the vowel in cycle will only be pronounced as [aɪ] as long as the vowel is stressed.
The second observation is that both motorcycle and unicycle consist of a pair of trochees: MO-tor-CY-cle, U-ni-CY-cle. The primary stress in both words falls on the first syllable, but the secondary stress falls on the first syllable of -cycle. In this context the vowel retains its full pronunciation.
Bicycle, however, has only one syllable before the -cycle, and the primary stress falls on this syllable. English does not allow two stressed syllables in a row in native words, which means that the second syllable of bicycle has no secondary stress. In turn, this means that the vowel [aɪ] is reduced to just [ɪ] in this context.
There are a few exceptions to this rule about two stressed syllables in a row, but they are all compounds or neologisms: fly-by, cry-baby. And in fact, the oldest spelling of the word bicycle is bi-cycle, where the hyphen is meant to indicate that the word is a compound and suggests the pronunciation b[aɪ]-c[aɪ]cle. But as the word bicycle became more common, the word was adapted to the native stress pattern, requiring reduction of the vowel in the second syllable.

What are the structures of the neck?
There are seven vertebrae that are the bony building blocks of the spine in the neck (the cervical vertebrae) that surround the spinal cord and canal. Between these vertebrae are discs, and nearby pass the nerves of the neck. Within the neck, structures include the skin, neck muscles, arteries, veins, lymph nodes, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, esophagus, larynx, and trachea. Diseases or conditions that affect any of these tissues of the neck can lead to neck pain.
How do health-care professionals diagnose neck pain?
In diagnosing the cause of neck pain, it is important to review the history of the symptoms. In reviewing the history, the doctor will note the location, intensity, duration, and radiation of the pain. Is the pain worsened or improved with turning or repositioning of the head? Any past injury to the neck and past treatments are noted. Aggravating and/or relieving positions or motions are also recorded. The neck is examined at rest and in motion. Tenderness is detected during palpation of the neck. An examination of the nervous system is performed to determine whether or not nerve involvement is present.
Further testing of undiagnosed neck pain can include X-ray evaluation, CT scan, bone scan, MRI scan, myelogram, and electrical tests such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity test (NCV).
What is the treatment for neck pain? What are home remedies for neck pain?
The treatment of neck pain depends on its precise cause. Treatment options include rest, heat or cold applications, traction, soft-collar traction, physical therapy (ultrasound, massage, manipulation), local injections of cortisone or anesthetics, topical anesthetic creams, topical pain-relief patches, muscle relaxants, analgesics, and surgical procedures. Home remedies for treatment, such as Jacuzzi treatment, neck pain relief exercises and stretches, and neck pain relief products such as neck pillows for sleep and hot pads can be very beneficial for relief of some forms of neck pain. There are many treatment options, depending on the particular neck problem and past treatment experiences. Alternative treatments that have been used for chronic neck pain include acupuncture.
