Obviously you never used GWT to a productive level bro. Swing like syntax is an option in GWT. Not the only one. Ypu can only blame yourself if you end up writing tons of code for the UI in GWT. Like I asked before ever heard of UI Binder ? And what s better in your opinion ? The JSON like syntax of Ext JS ?
Google ist'nt building anything with GWT ?
1)Google AdWords.(http://google.com/adwords) Probably the most important application at Google is
written with GWT
2) Google AdSence(http://google.com/adsense)
2) Google Wallet(http://wallet.google.com)
3) Google Flights(http://flights.google.com)
4) Google Groups(http://groups.google.com)
5) Hotel Finder( http://www.google.com/hotelfinder)
6) Google Blogger(http://www.blogger.com/)
7) Google Product Search(http://www.google.com/prdhp?hl=en&tab=mf)
Maybe Google should use GWT for all their products to prouv GWT is not dead ?
And making GWT a community driven project is the best thing that could happen to GWT.
Again learn your facts before talking
10 Jul 2013 6:49 AM #162
I know people who still use GWT and they just refuse to see the writing on the wall. They think everything is peachy. It isn't. I also did a lot of Flex work, and Flex / AS3 developers far outnumber(ed) GWT developers. Then Adobe did to Flex exactly the same thing Google did with GWT. Result: both communities are drying up rapidly. When the company that created something basically says "you guys keep having fun with this and we'll toss a few resources at it for a little while, but just FYI, we're done with this because there's better stuff out there now", that's a bad sign.
10 Jul 2013 6:51 AM #163
No offense. I don't use GWT anymore. I moved on to Dart

The best thing that Google could do with GWT is make it more community driven.
I m registered to the GWT contributors group and looking at the commits that go in every day I cant be more happy. With only Google calling the shots this would have been dead end.
If you see it as Google ditching GWT then it s your opinion.
I know for sure that atleast 50% of fortune 100 companies use GWT.
Those are legacy systems ? FYI google just released a new version of groups a couple of days ago. Same as Adwords and Adsence and Wallet. The only public "new development" at google is Google+. And for obvious reasons GWT was not an option.
Then again if you feel confortable with JS or TypeScript go ahead.
At the end of the day they are all tools.
Use the one that makes you more productive.
For the type of things we are trying to solve at my company and for our customers nothing beats GWT.

+1 for TypeScript definition files.
When trying to sell the vastly superior solution of SPA + API to .NET MVC and even WebForms developers they laugh at no intellisense.
ExtJS has everything to win from being more accessible and easy to use. It would make me more productive as I wouldn't have to look in the docs for every single parameter all the freaking time.
That is all a Typescript definition file would do - improve my performance.
One could also look at this way - there will eventually be a competitor to ExtJS that embraces typescript definition support for it's improved developer performance - and it will win over the stubborn Sencha devs in the end that has some internal holy war over a non-issue.
Adding TypeScript definition files would cause no serious ill side effects, now would it?

Ext4j fixes the tooling, static type support in Ext JS for us.
Have a look http://eemi2010.github.io/ext4j/.
Also for the .NET lovers there is http://www.ext.net/
That should do it no ?
4 Feb 2014 4:04 PM #168
No, that doesn't do it, unfortunately.
Ext4j sounds interesting, but the initial beta was just released, and it's one person, who needs to try and keep up with every change Sencha makes. That's going to be a tall order going forward. And neither Ext4j nor Ext.NET include Touch support.
5 Feb 2014 2:04 AM #169
A release candidate of Ext4j should come out pretty soon.
It s true that I have to keep up with every change that Sencha makes but I enjoy it.
It gaves me an unique view in the framework.
Plus I used Ext4j at work too so this is not a proejct that
will go away soon. I make my living with it.
While it s true that I m the only one maintaining it, the project is open source and on GitHub.
I would definitely accept pull requests .
This is actually why I open sourced it. So other people can contribuate to make Ext4j even better.
We use that heavely in our project and hopefuly I can share some stuff soon.
DISCLAIMER : I also created Touch4j
If you want strong typing and great tooling support give Ext4j a try. You might like it
5 Feb 2014 6:49 AM #170
Sencha has a large team of people working on these libraries, and even they also struggle to deal with bugs and ERs. And now, if something goes wrong, folks will first have to determine whether the problem is in the Java wrappers or an actual issue in the underlying Ext JS/Touch JS libraries.
Again, I'm thankful that folks like you do this sort of work. I manage and contribute to a number of open-source projects myself. I'm just trying to explain why a lot of developers (or managers) are going to be hesitant to rely on something like this for production apps.

Conference Name: 2011 National Conference for Peer Tutoring in Writing
With a vast number of different learning styles, along with many consulting techniques, personalities and styles, the largest obstacle facing writing consultants is adapting to students needs. The four presentations within this panel will focus on different aspects of consulting and aims to help consultants bridge the gap with students.
Presentation one will identify why students in upper-level, discipline-specific courses may not use the resources writing centers offer. We will use this information to discuss ways that writing centers can potentially better equip themselves to help these students.
Presentation two will report on the collision that occurs when indirect consulting does not match a student's direct-advice expectations, and provide strategies to effectively work in these situations.
Presentation three will examine the different dynamics involved when consultants work with students they know well versus work with students they have just met.
Presentation four will discuss how the dynamics of a typical session are changed when a consultant conducts a session with another consultant.
Participants will be engaged in partner work and group discussion. From this panel, we hope that fellow consultants will learn how to bridge the gap between themselves and the students they are working with during their consultations.

PEL301J: LifeSprt-J (2014-2015)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Physical Education
COURSE TITLE: JROTC Lifetime Sports
COURSE LENGTH: 18 weeks
SUGGESTED PREPARATION: PE-Personal Fitness
Major Concepts/Content: This semester course, which is required for graduation, is designed to enable students in grades nine through twelve to develop the movement skills and conceptual knowledge for lifetime sports participation. Lifetime sports are those sports and physical activities that people of all ages and all levels of ability can participate in and enjoy whether they are organized for individual, dual or team participation. Students will set personal skill development goals in a few lifetime sports and learn the process of specialized lifetime sport skill development for continued learning, participation and enjoyment.
Major Instructional Activities: This course provides instruction in lifetime sports from among at least four categories as listed. A school's offering of lifetime sports is limited only by the facilities, equipment, and expertise available at the school. The list of sports activities in each category is not all inclusive. The focus is on teaching a process of skill development and improving the sport specific motor skills, tactical knowledge, and rules unique to the variety of lifetime sports presented in this course. Fielding Sports Cricket | Softball | Ball Control Sports | Basketball Flag Football Hockey | Soccer | Team Handball | Lacrosse Net-Wall Sports Badminton | Table Tennis | Racquetball | Tennis | Volleyball | Pickle ball Target Sports Archery | Bowling | Billiards | Golf Aquatics Swimming | Synchronized Swimming | Water Polo Combative Sports Fencing | Martial Arts Rhythmics-Dance Line Dance | Social Dance | Swing Dance | Aerobic Dance
Major Evaluative Techniques: Multiple assessment strategies are used to enable students to develop their motor skills and concepts. Examples of assessment tools are checklists, written summaries, authentic performance tasks, activity logs, selected and constructed response tests, and product assessment. It is important that the results (raw data/scores) obtained through the performance tests specialized motor skills are used to determine appropriate personal goals and student achievement of personal goals and not as grading criteria for this course. Students are graded on what they know and are able to do as a result of the learning that has occurred during the course.
Course Notes: .5 credit will be awarded for successful completion of 2 years of JROTC with course grade awarded of a "P" placed on the transcript. Students can take both PEL301 (PE - Lifetime Sports) and PEL 301J (JROTC Lifetime Sports) and earn credit for both courses.

Intranet Portals Get Streamlined
Summary: An analysis of intranet portals found slimmer information architectures and a renewed emphasis on fresh content and useful applications. Past findings, including those on role-based personalization, were confirmed.
It's been almost three years since our last project assessing the usability of intranet portals . This is a good time to take a fresh look at portal design, since three years is also the average time between intranet redesigns .
To find out what's working now, we analyzed a new series of portal projects and compared them with the conclusions from the previous round.
Findings: Unchanged
In the larger scheme of things, three years is not much time, so it's not surprising that all of the findings from our initial portal project still hold. In fact, none of the forty-five best practices documented in the report's first edition have changed . Yes, we've gained many new insights, but what was good three years ago continues to be good today.
In particular, the new project confirmed the following findings from the previous project:
- Portal solutions still don't offer satisfactory usability out of the box. This is more of a disgrace now than it was in the past, because we now know so much more about intranet usability. Vendors need to integrate this knowledge into their software.
- Single sign-on is still more a dream than a reality. It's one of the most desired portal features and creates huge savings in help-desk calls, but most companies are not yet there. Users still must log in again and again. Multiple sign-on does offer one usability benefit, however: it can help employees feel more comfortable about information privacy when accessing highly sensitive data.
- Personalization for individual users is still rare. Organizations continue to find role-based personalization more useful and to use it more frequently. For example, some companies present certain information or portlets only to people with a particular job title or people who work in a particular location.
- Governance has always been more important to portal success than technical issues, and this finding was even stronger in the new study. One popular approach is to create a steering group representing various business areas. Projects also need to establish firm rules for enforcing design consistency and migrating content and applications into the portal.
- ROI is woefully under-documented . Too few portal projects collect good productivity metrics, though some companies are now beginning to measure themselves against our intranet testing report's time-on-task benchmarks and using this data to compute their savings relative to average intranets. More typically, portal projects measure user satisfaction and usage. For example, Fujitsu Siemens Computers in Germany found that its intranet use tripled after the portal went online. (Doubled use is more common across the projects we've studied.) Since intranet use is completely voluntary, increased use is a strong indication that a portal helps employees do their work, though it's still an indirect metric.
New Findings
First, portals are becoming too popular for their own good. Some companies have multiple "portals" because many software vendors include portals with their products to make them seem more important and to get a shot at being on top. This obviously doesn't work, because an enterprise portal by definition must be the one entry point to the intranet and all of its content and applications. So, you can only have one portal. Everything else must be subservient to it for the concept to work.
Second, as time passes, the amount of stale portal content grows. Portal managers have therefore started explicit efforts to combat outdated information. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service's Project CleanSweep audits pages across its portal and tells owners of outdated content that it will be removed by a certain date if it's not refreshed. Other portals use their content management system (CMS) to track expected revision or expiration dates for all pages, and authors must estimate these dates whenever they create or update content.
Third, because much portal software continues to be overly complex, portal managers have recognized a need for training in the correct use of portal features. For example, one big company found that 26% of pages contained miscategorized metadata. You can't just assume that people will understand a complex concept like metadata without instruction.
Fourth, user acceptance requires explicit attention. A big company (that prefers to remain anonymous) had its portal project fail completely. Performance was miserably slow, usability was poor, and people simply refused to use the portal--to the extent that they used the old intranet pages more than eight times as much as the new portal. The portal project had been in vain; to save the intranet, the portal was removed after less than a year.
Portal projects are more likely to have a happier outcome if they emphasize user needs from the beginning, and also employ various tricks to enhance user acceptance. For example, we've begun to see good use of multimedia and video clips on portal homepages; even something seemingly frivolous like a user poll can help make the portal more fun and appealing.
Fifth, information architecture (IA) is becoming streamlined. For example, Sprint has reduced the number of tabs on its portal from eight to five due to a corresponding reduction in the number of major categories. As we discover more about how to build a good intranet user experience, portal teams can take advantage of accumulated usability findings across companies and emphasize the most useful areas.
Portlets on the portal homepage follow a similar trend: fewer, and more useful. In the past, portal projects typically offered users portlets simply because they could -- even though organizations generally didn't provide enough content or features to justify the portlets' prominent placement. In another design simplification, offering two layers of tabs seems to be a thing of the past. Good riddance.
Finally, we're seeing a shift in how organizations use portals. Where portals were once pure information aggregators, organizations are increasingly using them as application organizers . Many companies now offer a variety of killer apps and are moving more of them into the ports. This also helps with user acceptance, because a tools-oriented approach to the portal makes it more obviously useful.
All in all, intranet portals are definitely maturing. The user interfaces are simpler, and teams are getting better at managing both the portal itself and its relationship with other departments and content providers. We definitely see a continuing need for better ROI measures . Nonetheless, many portal projects achieve significant improvements — which are almost as easy to gauge as the spectacular failures.

NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Greg Jennings, Donald Driver face uncertain futures in Green Bay by Chris Burke Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Sun Jan. 13, 2013 Injuries led to the worst season of Greg Jennings' career in 2012. (Mike De Sisti/MCT/ZUMAPRESS.com)In the waning seconds of Green Bay's 45-31 loss to San Francisco on Saturday night, Aaron Rodgers escaped the pocket and fired a touchdown strike to Greg Jennings.Counting the postseason, it was Jennings' 59th touchdown reception as a Packer. And, in all likelihood, it will be his last.Jennings is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. And given the presences of James Jones, Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson in the Packers' receiving corps, odds are that Jennings will be able to find a more lucrative contract elsewhere.The 29-year-old Jennings, who has played his entire seven-year career with Green Bay, has been preparing himself all season for a future in another uniform. Saturday night, after Green Bay's season came to an anti-climactic end, that issue came up again."The reality is there will probably be some changes made," said Jennings, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "Hopefully, I'm here, but if not I'm ready to move wherever."Jennings battled injuries throughout the 2012 season, and for parts of 2011, but he remains one of the NFL's more reliable receivers when healthy. In playing all 16 games during the 2008, '09 and '10 campaigns, Jennings averaged about 75 catches and more than 1,200 yards per year.He had just 36 catches for 366 yards during the 2012 regular season, while missing eight games.Despite that statistical drop-off, odds are that Jennings will be able to land a contract in excess of what Green Bay is willing to pay. So, barring the good ol' "hometown discount," Jennings could be wearing another jersey next season -- possibly one of a Green Bay rival like Chicago, Detroit or Minnesota, all teams that could use a solid veteran receiver.Saturday's loss might also have signaled the end of Donald Driver's long and illustrious Green Bay career. A Packer since coming into the league in 1999, the soon-to-be 38-year-old Driver struggled to even get on the field late in the year. He was a healthy scratch in Week 17 against Minnesota, then did not see any passes in either of Green Bay's playoff games.Driver, like Jennings, will be an unrestricted free agent when the NFL season ends. However, Driver might choose to call it a career, rather than re-sign with the Packers or seek out another deal."Have to make a decision soon. It's going to be tough," Jennings said, again per Hodkiewicz. "It's gonna be a tough decision, but I'll sit down with my wife and kids ... "I think it's always tough when you get to this point of your career and you have to make tough decisions." More Audibles

A $n$-th degree polynomial has precisely $n$ roots. So it is natural to ask the question how large ( and small) can be the measure of a set where a polynomial takes small values ?
This, and other interesting variation of this must have been studied in depth.
I would really appreciate any reference to the relevant literature.
Also, if there are some interesting variation of this problem I would like to know.
Thank you.

You will probably be aware of your baby's movements by now: the number of movements and their nature will vary during the day and night and you may notice that they start to form into a particular pattern or respond to your own activity.
Your baby's skin is continuing to develop and has now started to "keratinize." Keratin is the substance that transforms the skin's outer layer into a protective layer of dead cells. Hair and nails also form from keratin.
The outer keratinized layer of skin cells, plus a layer of fat laid down between the skin cells, gives the skin a waterproof covering. This process of keratinization reduces the amount of water your baby loses into the amniotic fluid. Each new skin cell, made in the deepest part of the skin, matures as it gradually moves up toward the surface and, now keratinized, becomes part of the outer protective layer before it is eventually shed. The cycle takes approximately 30 days.
The thickest layers of keratinized cells are on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The keratinizing process has only just begun. Since the fat layer is very thin at this stage, your baby's skin will still appear translucent, but less so than it did in earlier weeks. At this stage of pregnancy, your baby still has plenty of room to maneuver inside the uterus, and although you're likely to be feeling lots of movements by now this will only be a fraction of the total. This is because the only movements you'll feel are those that cause your baby to kick or bump into the wall of your uterus. You will be unaware of many of the finer movements that are performed close to the baby's body since they won't make any contact with your uterus.
Getting painful spasms in the leg muscles is common in pregnancy, particularly at night. You may find that you wake up due to the sudden and severe localized pain in your legs or feet. This is thought to be due to the pressure of the uterus on the pelvic nerves.
Some experts believe that cramps during pregnancy may be caused by a lack of calcium or salt or an excess of phosphorus, but these theories are as yet unproven.
When you get a spasm, relieve it by flexing your foot or leg, and gently massaging the affected area. The cramp should resolve itself once you are out of bed and using the muscle. However, if the pain doesn't recede and there is any reddening or swelling in the leg, you should seek medical advice immediately to eliminate the possibility of a clot (see ... Doctor), since this can be dangerous.
To reduce the incidence of cramps or its severity, drink lots of water to prevent dehydration and regularly do leg stretches and ankle exercises, circling your heel and wiggling your toes.
Getting gentle exercise, such as walking or swimming, can also help, as can regularly massaging the calf muscle to improve circulation.

There are many key exchange mechanisms that can be used in TLS. Among them are RSA, ECDH_ECDSA, ECDHE_ECDSA, ECDH_RSA, ECDHE_RSA and others. Which of these are more cryptographically secure and can be used for securing connection with web site?
You may use a key exchange (as part of a cipher suite) only if the server key type and certificate match. To see this in details, let's have a look at cipher suites defined in the TLS 1.2 specification. Each cipher suite defines the key exchange algorithm, as well as the subsequently used symmetric encryption and integrity check algorithms; we concentrate here on the key exchange part.
Key exchange algorithms which use elliptic-curve cryptography are specified in another RFC and propose the following:
So, what shall you choose, for a Web site ? Your main constraints are:
So you choice is basically between "RSA" and "DHE_RSA". The latter may have a slightly higher computational cost, although you would need to have at least a few hundred new connections per second to actually see a difference (I insist on the "new": since TLS includes an abbreviated handshake which can build on the key exchange of a previous connection, the actual key exchange with asymmetric cryptography only occurs once per new client browser in the last minute). So, in practice, no measurable difference on the CPU load between RSA and DHE_RSA.
DHE_RSA offers something known as Perfect Forward Secrecy, a pompous name for the following property: if your server gets thoroughly hacked, to the point that the attacker obtains a copy of the server private key, then he will also be able to decrypt past TLS sessions (which he recorded) if these sessions used RSA, while he will not be able to do so if these sessions used DHE_RSA. In practice, if the attacker could steal your private key, then he probably could read the 10000 credit card numbers in your site database, so there is little reason why he should even bother recording and decrypting previous sessions because this would yield only a dozen extra numbers or so. PFS is mathematically elegant, but overhyped. If it still a nifty acronym and can make a great impression on the weakly-minded, as part of a well-thought public relations campaign.
Summary: use DHE_RSA.

I have been told by a development partner that we cannot use the normal Twitter search widget - found here - https://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_search because of the API rate limit. My understanding is that the rate limit applies to the API as used by app developers, and not to the official widgets. Who is correct?
This page - http://dev.twitter.com/pages/rate-limiting - has information on this (important stuff highlighted in bold below)
The API limit is linked to an IP address but does allow 150 requests per hour.
OAuth calls are permitted 350 requests per hour.

Wake up people, this country is in political decline. This article says there
are 36 states who have petitions being signed. They are not all red states,
some are blue states. This country has become as divided as it was in the
1860s. This last election, with all its political rhetoric, just pushed us
further down the road of decline.
Comments calling people names and making harsh statements is a microcosm of what is happening across this once great nation. While it is unlikely that any state will secede, it is indicative of the current state of mind in this country. We need a few great leaders, statesmen if you will, to bring this country back together. Unfortunately, there is none in DC, or any of the states, to be found.

If this came to a vote, you would get about 50% of the country voting for it and
far more in Utah! This is ever increasing after the Obama scandals and cover ups
keep getting revealed as he did everything possible to make sure they did not
blow up until after the election. Nixon was to the moment of getting impeached
and stepped down for far less than what Obama has already done.
Obama has ignored our constitution, broken the separation of power to circumvent congress and make executive decisions on key policy changes, (against the constitution). He has covered up countless scandals including the military order to stand down and not answer the urgent calls for help by Americans under attack in our Libya embassy who were later brutally murdered and is not being held accountable by the media! Obamacare will cost thousands more for the average family and millions more for the average small/medium business, costing tens of thousands of jobs or more and further pull us into a deep recession while pulling us ever closer to a socialist society like Venezuela, Cuba, Greece etc. as is Obama's proclaimed vision. Socialism always fails, Remember the USSR!

The national debt is close to $300,000 per federal income tax payer. One option to eliminate that debt is to dissolve the United States as an entity, with the seperate states refusing to recognize any portion of the debt. It won't happen, but it would be interesting to see China's response.

I think it's more accurate to say..."people from 36 States" rather
that "36 States". As far as I can tell, no one State government has
officially endorsed any of these petitions.
The last time this actually happened, we had the bloodiest war in our history. If you want change, be the change you want in the world first, then advocate and persuade others to change.
Our nation is far, far from perfect, but we have steps in place that allow us to correct our faults. Can these people honestly say they have tried every resource, or are they just mad they lost an election.
Ironically, these are the same people that are up in arms for Obama saying "America isn't perfect" to other nations.

This has bothered me for a while... Ever since the bulky padding and gray background were added to
<code> elements, really. But I kept hoping I would get used to it...
...I didn't. It's ugly, it's distracting, it makes me not want to mark inline code and identifiers when I'm answering questions.
The problem
Here's what I'm talking about:
Note how the keywords and identifiers pop out of their surrounding text, completely destroying my best efforts to integrate language keywords with the grammar of the sentences referencing them. That's annoying.
But that's not the worst of it. The background shading, coupled with the excessive padding, can lead to something not unlike rivers when code appears on adjacent lines:
This is terribly distracting. What's the point of carefully marking up key parts of text if the result is ugly and distracting?
A solution
First, get rid of the padding:
This already helps. The text isn't so broken-up, and you can kinda separate the code on adjacent lines. But it's not enough. That background color still intrudes, tainting what should be clean, white space around the letters. Ditch it, and color the text itself. Maybe increase the weight, if you're really worried about it blending in too much:
There. No gray padding ghetto, no rivers... Much less offensive. At least, I think so. Anyone else?

It may be a bit later than the real thing but it is here, the CSE Euro 2012 using FM 2012.
The last CSE Major tournament:
I haven't asked GCB to do this but he is inactive so took responsibility!
As in the other thread:
What I need from you:
Regular forum visits over the coming days.
Football Manager 2012 on your machine.
A commitment to regular participation in the event - whichever country you end up managing!
The Plan of Attack:
As soon as I have 16/16 forum members ready to take part, I will randomly assign everybody a team from the Euros.
I will then upload a FM12 save game somewhere.
You will need to download it and choose a squad of 23 players for your country. This will be PM'd to me.
I will enter 16/16 human managers on my FM12 game and select the appropriate squad of players.
You will need to pick a starting eleven and tactics for the game.
These can be standard FM tactics or your own which can be emailed to me at a later date.
You will give me some instructions for substitutions and tactical changes.
I will play the games and report via the forum.
You can change your line-up and tactics for each game via PM.
Eventually, we will crown a CSE Euros winning manager.
I hope you're interested. If you're not completely sure how it's going to work, bear with it because it will work in the end as long as you can do the three things above. (Or read through the previous thread)
Don't copy and paste the list, I will keep track of who is in.

North Korea Sets Condition on Talks
SEOUL—North Korea said it would be willing to hold disarmament talks with the U.S. but not over its nuclear-weapons program, its latest gambit in a weekslong run of threatening behavior that has in recent days been supplemented by setting extreme conditions for potential dialogue.
An official in Seoul said the North has moved two more launchers to its east coast for a possible test firing of short-range Scud missiles, according to a report by South Korea's Yonhap news agency on Sunday. The defense ministry declined to comment on the report. Scud missiles have a range of a few hundred kilometers, and wouldn't pose a threat to South Korea or other countries if fired into the sea.
A bigger concern are the one or two midrange missiles that North Korea is believed to have positioned on its eastern seaboard. North Korea celebrates the anniversary of the founding of its military on April 25, which has led to speculation that it may test-launch missiles on that day.
The midrange missiles are thought to be Musudan rockets, which have a range of up to 4,000 kilometers, or 2,500 miles, putting Japan and U.S. bases in the region within reach. Experts and officials say it is highly unlikely North Korea would attempt an unprovoked strike on foreign targets in the region, but North Korea hasn't tested Musudan missiles previously, heightening the risks from any move to proceed.
Since last month, North Korea has repeatedly threatened to strike the U.S. mainland or U.S. bases in the Asian-Pacific region, as well as South Korea and Japan, a move widely seen as an attempt to create anxiety and push South Korea and the U.S. into offering concessions such as aid and security guarantees.
Its latest signal on potential discussion over nonnuclear disarmament, carried in a report in its main newspaper Saturday, isn't likely to advance the prospect of talks given that the primary concern of the U.S. is North Korea's nuclear arsenal. North Korea is thought to have enough nuclear material for around six to 10 bombs and recently said it would restart its only reactor and uranium-enrichment plant to create more.
"There may be talks between the DPRK and the U.S. for disarmament but no talks on denuclearization," the final sentence of the article said, using the abbreviation for North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The report largely focused on criticizing the U.S. position on talks, and since it was carried in a newspaper was mainly intended for a domestic audience. But because it was made available outside the country via its state media, the article will be seen as another indication of the terms under which the North is willing to enter into discussions.
Some analysts and officials note that North Korea's proposals, while extreme, come as it has eased off its more threatening language toward the U.S. This suggests, some say, a lower risk of an accidental clash escalating into a larger conflict.
The North continues to shower South Korea with threats, however. In a separate report on Saturday in the Rodong Shinmun, the North's main newspaper, Pyongyang lashed out against South Korea's top security official after he said on Thursday that there are no indications North Korea was preparing for a large-scale attack. "The South Korean authorities had better bear in mind that the military actions of the DPRK are neither bluff nor threat but practical ones, and what remains is to mercilessly punish the provocateurs," the article said.
North Korean threats of attack against the South are commonplace, but the continuation of such warnings complicates efforts by South Korean President Park Geun-hye to bring the North into a dialogue on inter-Korean issues, including a stalled industrial park jointly run by the countries.
In a separate development likely to concern the U.S. and its allies, Iran's state news agency reported Saturday that Iran was in talks to supply oil to North Korea. The report quoted Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Ghasemi as noting the talks are continuing and provided no further details. North Korea's Oil Minister Pae Hak is currently in Tehran, according to Pyongyang's state media.
Pyongyang has supplied Tehran with missile technology in the past and the U.N. has collected evidence that North Korea has provided nuclear-test data with Iran in recent years.

Using mods or tools (like MCEdit filters), what is the best way to fill a substantial amount of dispensers (on the order of hundreds at once) fully with items?
MCEdit's copy & paste tool copies tile entities (like dispenser or chest inventories, furnace items, spawner settings and so on) along with the tiles. It can't (as of current pre-release of version 0.1.6) however create fully functioning or filled dispensers by itself. The workaround is then:
You can also do copy/paste or stack with Worldedit if you are ready to install bukkit. There you fill one, then select it and type //stack 50. It will then create a row of 50 dispensers that are identical. You can do that with 4 above each other, and you have 200 in one go etc.

LHC (Large Hadron Collider) "... remains one of the largest and most complex experimental facilities ever built". May be it is even the most complex project in humankind's history(?).
Such projects usually have impact beyond their original target and boost science and technology in a non-trivial way.
So I wonder what kind of impact it has/(might have) on mathematics (if any), and what specific impact had mathematics (or might have) on the LHC project (if any)?

I sometimes hear about pain points of customers using our app from sales people, but there really isn't a good way for us to currently keep track of these. I was going to write one myself but figured I would ask first.
I was thinking something so simple it would literally just be a small form for adding a new feature, and then it would appear in the list, like stackexchange questions. Then users can upvote them, or even record each time a user complains about something related to the request so we can order them in priority based on real data. Then I can easily go look every few days and see what's going on. That's really it, nothing more complicated than that.

Maximize Your Daughter's Social Skills
In This Article:
Respect Authority Figures
When girls come to school with positive attitudes, their teachers find them enthusiastic learners, and their coaches see them as cooperative team players. Girls can disagree with their teachers and administrators, but they have to do so in ways that convey respect and therefore preserve these relationships. Teens who feel undervalued sometimes show up with chips on their shoulders that evoke the very responses from teachers that they fear most. Those who are distracted by chronic family discord often act out their anger and resentment on other adults.
Does your daughter view her teachers as valuable resources or as potential oppressors? Is she predisposed to listen to adults and do what they ask? Can she respond to constructive criticism without feeling personally attacked?
If your daughter is unaware that her attitude is disrespectful, dismissive, or off-putting, she needs corrective feedback. Don't be afraid to share your insights along with what her teachers observe. Try "I heard something that might be helpful to you." Then repeat the comments succinctly, without editorializing or passing judgment. Even if your daughter denies what you say or your input seems to fall on deaf ears, she is hearing it.
Ask Appropriately for Help
The most resilient girls know how to reach out to adults who take an interest in them and encourage their talents. Socially skilled girls are better able to elicit support and cooperation from others. They know whether teachers prefer to be e-mailed or consulted after school. Whether they want to improve their next biology lab or review the steps in a geometry proof, they ask in ways that ensure they get that help. And they keep asking questions until they get answers.
Can your daughter ask for what she needs? Does she behave in ways that make people feel good about helping her? If your daughter is too shy, self-conscious, or anxious to approach adults, she is not alone. Many teen girls need practical strategies. What should she say? What shouldn't she say? Try role-playing to make her more comfortable. Also, share pertinent stories from your own life that illustrate how you prevailed when it was difficult for you to ask for help.

Praying with the Psalms, Part I
On a thread initiated by Fr. Robert Imbelli earlier this month ("The Whole Christ" February 7), a question arose about praying with the psalms. I mentioned a couple of essays on this subject that I have found helpful, and Bob, seconded by Tom Blackburn, kindly invited me to share some insights from these works. I wrote a bit at that time, but other duties intervened and I was unable to finish. Thinking (rightly or wrongly) that others too might be interested in these ideas about the psalms, and given the fact that the older thread is now unlikely to be visited by any but the most obsessive blog followers, I'm posting some of this material here, in two parts.
The sources are old and not to be found in bookstores.
The first is an essay by Pius Parsch (1884–1954) taken from his Der Wochenpsalter des Romischen Breviers (1936) and reprinted as an introduction to The Hours of the Divine Office in English and Latin (Liturgical Press, 1963). I can't recommend this essay highly enough. Sixteen pages of pure gold. Yes, it's the pre-reformed Hours that are in view, but many of the basic insights still apply.
The second is a beautiful "introduction to the psalms" by André Chouraqui (1917–2007). Chouraqui was an Algerian-born, French-educated, Jewish scholar, lawyer, and writer whose translation into French of the psalms in 1956 was widely acclaimed. His scintillating essay first appeared as the introduction to that translation. It was later published in the periodical Liturgy O.C.S.O. (a Journal of Gethsemane Abbey) in 1979 and then reprinted in 1995 (Volume 29, Number 1).
First, Parsch. Here's a little background for those who don't know him. Pius Parsch was an Augustinian canon of Klosterneuberg Abbey. He was an important figure in the Liturgical Movement during the first half of the twentieth century, indeed he was regarded as the founder of that movement in Austria. His work is valued especially for the way in which he pressed beyond scholarly and intellectual work into the realm of pastoral application. His best-known work in English is his multi-volume study of the liturgical year: The Church's Year of Grace. Here is an autobiographical essay, which illustrates his passion for the goals of the conjoined renewal movements of his time: reading the Bible and active participation in the Liturgy.
Parsch was particularly strong on the character of liturgical prayer. Here is an excerpt:
The breviary is above all the prayer of the Church, the prayer said in the name of the Church. It is helpful to understand the difference between private prayer and liturgical prayer. In private prayer I pray, mostly, for myself and my own affairs. It is the isolated person who stands in the center of the action, and the prayer is more or less individualized. But in liturgical prayer, and therefore in the breviary, it is not primarily I who am praying, but the Church... In liturgical prayer, I feel more like a member of a great community, like a little leaf on the great living tree of the Church. I share her life and her problems. The Church is praying through my mouth, I offer her my tongue to pray with her for all the great objectives of redemption, and for God's honor and glory.
We weep, too, or rather the Church weeps through our tears, together with those who weep, rejoices through our joys together with those who rejoice, does penance with the repentant. All the sentiments of Holy Mother Church find their echo in our heart. This gives a deeper content to our prayer; we spread out far beyond our own selves.
(Incidentally, this second paragraph so closely compares to the first article of Gaudium et spes that I wonder if the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World might not be animated more by a liturgical spirituality than is normally credited. But that's another subject.)
Parsch gives a sensitive description of each of the Hours, and offers a general rationale for the psalms and canticles assigned to them. Because the sheer quantity of words in the Hours can be overwhelming in detail, I find this general architecture helpful. Here is an example in his description of Lauds (Morning Prayer).
Lauds is a jubilant hour, fresh as the morning dew, perhaps the most beautiful of all the Hours. Its symbolism deserves attention. It is night; nature and men are asleep. In the far east, the grey of dawn appears; then the ruddy hue of morning, the harbinger of a new day, spreads across the horizon, and the world of nature begins to stir. But all this natural beauty is only a symbol and reminder of a most wonderful event in the story of salvation. It was at this beautiful hour that the Savior burst the bonds of death. Resurrection -- that is the background theme of Lauds. And the two pictures together, dawn and resurrection, remind us of a third arising from slumber, the spiritual awakening of the human soul.
In another section, he describes the wonder and honest difficulties of praying the psalms ("The psalms are what make the breviary so beautiful and at the same time so difficult"), especially the harsh passages. In an attempt to navigate some of these difficulties he discusses the psalms as "prayer figures," which I found helpful.
The key to understanding any figure comes from having grasped the point of comparison employed; that point must be isolated and concretely formulated. When we have found it we will know at once what is to be carried over into our application of the prayer and what is only incidental development of the figure used. Just as in a parable not every feature of the story or detail is capable of application to the point made by the narrative, even so, not every verse or statement in a psalm can be applied to its basic message. The psalms, after all, are poetry.
With regard to "curse psalms" he had this to say:
... [A]s Christians we may never wish evil upon a sinner directly, personally.
The psalms however have nothing to do with personal enmities. The theme of all our praying is God's kingdom and sin, and the curse passages in the psalms are only the primitive expression of absolute protest against evil, sin and hell. Try changing the optative of the curses to the indicative of fact; this turns the curses into an expression of divine justice...
In Part II, I'll share some insights gleaned from André Chouraqui.

Thank you, Rita, for these excellent, rich reflections, parts I and II, on praying with the psalms. I hope to say more.
But for now, I'll just note that Andre' Chouraqui says that Lauds is "perhaps" the most beautiful of the Hours. "Perhaps," but for me Vespers IS the most beautiful. But then I'm not a morning person. Smile sign, which I'm sure to get wrong.
Thanks for posting this. Very rich and informative. I have always liked the psalms and the liturgy of the hours and wish that communal recitation was more accessible for lay people.. I would add that in addition to the military imagery there is such a range of expressed human emotion from the deepest depression to the heights of joy and everywhere in between.
I have always interpreted those curses and enemy and war sections as metaphors for the "greater jihad" to borrow the Muslim expression - meaning ways to improve myself and grow as a better person, a better Christian.
Thanks, John. Maybe my post was a little confusing. It is Parsch who made that observation about Lauds. (The Chouraqui comments are found in Part II.) We are taking other opinions about what is the most beautiful Hour seriously, though. :)
Sorry! Yes, Pius Parsch, whose writings on liturgy I first met over a half-century ago. Alas!
Clearly I'm not an afternoon person either!
We remark about the Muslims praying five times a day. The website Universalis quotes Psalm 118 where the psalmist states: "Seven times a day I praise you." – Psalm 118(119):164
People search far and wide to escape depression and find joy. Happiness lies right with us in the Liturgy of the Hours. Rich in prayer and uplift.
For anyone living in the DC area, or who will be visiting this June, Fr. John Endres, S.J. will be lecturing on the "The Psalms in the Life of the Church," at this year's Reverend Joseph A. Fitzmyer, S.J. Institute on Sacred Scriture at Georgetown University, from june 10-12. He will offer four lectures on the topic :
1. The Psalms and the Poor
2.The Psalms and the Litturgy
3. The Spirituality of the Psalms
4. Reading the Psalms in the Post-Shoah Era
Fr. Endres is an expert on the Pslams, who has written much about them. He lectures frequently on them.
Here is the link to the web page with further information. Watch for our ad in in the March 7 issue of Commoinweal Magazine.
The psalms however have nothing to do with personal enmities. The theme of all our praying is God's kingdom and sin, and the curse passages in the psalms are only the primitive expression of absolute protest against evil, sin and hell.
I would humbly suggest that this is perhaps a bold glossing of the text (and I do not think that the psalms are especially "primitive." Rather, they seem pretty sophisticated to me).

Charismatics' neglect of the psalms indicative of deeper malaise
14 February 2014 by Abigail Frymann
Abe Rosenweig,
You are absolutely correct. As with many Hebrew literary forms, they admit of multilicity. The staement you reference is unfortunate at best. The interpretation given is notjing but supersessionism, an insidious docrtrine of Catholicism that needs to be done away with.
Abe: Bold glossing, yes, I think that's fair.
Alan: I suspect that your latter comment is too certain. There are other places where Parsch is supressessionist. Here I think he is just expressing a typical-for-his-era bias that strong emotions of any kind are primitive. He's living in Vienna. I tripped over it too when I read it, but decided to leave it in there, because he is a man of his time. Also, unfortunately I don't have the original to compare. The unfortunate word choice may be the translator's.
Interesting and timely, right before the beginning of Lent.
Also timely in a larger sense, since it points to a way in which we may be able to pray together even when there is no priest.

Fans flood the field at Floyd Casey Stadium after Baylor's 52-24 upset of No.1 Kansas State on Nov. 17. (File)
WACO (November 28, 2012)—The agreement under which the City of Waco is pumping $35 million in Tax Increment Financing funds into Baylor University's $250 million on-campus football stadium project requires that Floyd Casey Stadium be torn down unless Baylor and the city can agree on another use for the 60-year-old facility.
"There is a clause in the contract that basically says the existing stadium will be razed after a certain period of time...unless we can find a mutually agreed adaptive reuse between Baylor and the city," Waco City Manager Larry Groth said Wednesday.
The Waco City Council voted in July to devote the $35 million in TIF funds to infrastructure improvements including roads, power lines, sewer lines and a public marina, as well as a pedestrian bridge over the Brazos River, connecting the main campus with the facility, which is scheduled for completion in time for the 2014 season.
That means seven more Baylor games are scheduled at Floyd Casey including the final game of the current season against Oklahoma State University Saturday and six home games in 2013 beginning with Buffalo on Sept. 7.
The university will start considering the 60-year-old stadium's future in 2013, Baylor spokeswoman Lori Fogelman said Wednesday.
Baylor also plans to relocate its track and field facilities to campus and is in the process of raising funds to cover the cost of the move, Fogelman said.
Plans for the new stadium on the 93-acre site along the interstate call for 45,000 seats with the flexibility to expand to 55,000, canopy shading, suites, loge boxes, indoor and outdoor club seating and an event center and Stadium Club for year-round use.
Baylor is the only school in the Big 12 that doesn't have an on-campus stadium.
The Bears have played at Floyd Casey Stadium off South Valley Mills Drive since 1950.
Before that, games were played at Waco Municipal Stadium on Dutton Avenue.
There hasn't been a field on the campus since the 1930s.

Man's 6 Most Ridiculous Attempts To Take On Mother Nature
Humans and animals live in peace for the most part, and many of us enjoy the company of a faithful dog to fetch our slippers or a sinister monkey to pick pockets from tourists while we grind our organ.
But every so often a group of animals get out of hand and humans need to set their massive intellect to the task of dealing with them. And usually, it goes hilariously wrong:
#6. Indian Monkey Gangs
While the average North American is apt to think monkeys are all super cute and wear human clothes, they become less cute when you consider that, in India, they're known to roam neighborhoods in gangs. They break into houses to steal food, or just hang out and pleasure themselves. The deputy mayor of Delhi actually died from a monkey attack, trying to fight off a screeching swarm of the things before tumbling off his balcony.
Adding to the problem is the fact that in many parts of India, monkeys are revered animals (the monkey god Hanuman is so widely worshiped, he was named the chairman of an Indian business school). Monkeys are not allowed to be trapped or killed and many people will leave food out for the monkeys, only to find out that such kind gestures often go unrewarded in monkeydom.
The "Solution"
The city of Delhi decided that fighting fire with fire was the only way to take on the monkey problem and has started making use of langurs (small apes that are bigger than the monkeys already causing problems) to protect buildings and scare off the little jerks.
Experts say this solution ranges from "stupid" to Planet of the Apes. There is apparently a pretty good chance that in time, the two species of monkey will end up living peacefully. Peacefully with each other, that is, and not with the humans. Humans have a thing about not getting along peacefully with wild animals.
At this point we're assuming they'll need to get even larger monkeys to get rid of the problem they've created until one day there's nothing but monkeys of various sizes roaming the streets, and all the people have to move down the road a few miles.
#5. Exploding Whales
Every so often, for whatever reason, a whale ends up on a beach. Since whales are one of the creatures mankind likes, often this gets media attention and people come together to keep the animal moist and comfortable. Unfortunately the whales don't always survive this, which is unfortunate for both the whale and the poor bastard who has jurisdiction over cleaning up the beach.
In 1970, a whale ended up on the beach in Florence, Oregon. That's a small town, and one not equipped with a whale removal kit or anything that can really move the eight-ton carcass of a sperm whale.
The "Solution"
We're going to guess that this is one of those problems that seemed unsolvable until the team in charge got a few beers in them. We like to imagine a few guys hanging out in a bar after hours, pondering the situation, when one of them looks up from the pool table and says, "Dude, I've got it! Where can we get some dynamite?"
So 1,000 pounds of TNT later, the beach and the surrounding area was showered with a rain of rotting whale. The gathered crowd got a nice coating of molten whale blubber, and a giant slab flew over a quarter of a mile and crushed a man's car. Most of the whale, however, stayed right where it was on the beach.
Whale removal experts all over the world watched the situation closely, and apparently decided it was the most awesome fucking thing they had ever seen. Today, disposing of a whale via explosion is common practice (though if possible, the whale will be dragged out to sea first).
The reason is that if you don't explode the whale, it'll explode on its own. When whales die and rot, they become big gassy balloons of horror. Ask the people of Tainan, Taiwan. In 2004 they had a 50-ton whale that they were transporting down the street on the back of a truck. It exploded its guts all over bystanders, cars and shop fronts, like a pinata at Satan's birthday party.
#4. Sexual Harassment Monkeys
As if Indian monkey gangs weren't bad enough, in Kenya the monkeys are basically unrestrained, drunken frat boy villains from a bad '80s movie.
In the small Kenyan village of Nachu, about 300 asshole monkeys make a habit of stealing the village's crops on a daily basis. And sure, that's a pain in the ass but hey, they're hungry. Where the people of Nachu draw the line is when the monkeys started sexually harassing the village women.
The monkeys are typically afraid of males, but have taken to mocking the women who try to save the grain out in the fields. According to one woman, the monkeys gesture at them while "pointing at their private parts" like tiny, hairy construction workers on their lunch break.
The "Solution"
The female workers attempted to trick the monkeys by wearing men's clothing, at which point the monkeys would reportedly point at the breasts and then continue to steal potatoes. Seriously.
The villagers have begged for help from the Kenyan Wildlife Service, who we're assuming wrote the whole thing off as an elaborate prank (they admit they had never seen that kind of monkey behavior before). They did eventually send in a team to observe the monkeys and, since it's illegal to just shoot the little bastards, to "relocate" them somehow.
We're going to say right now that whatever plan they come up with to try to deceive and round up the horny monkeys will go down in history as the wackiest thing to ever actually happen. It will probably involve a man in a monkey costume wearing a dress, and at one point all of the wild monkeys will wind up running amuck in a snooty restaurant.

Video: Lila Rose exposes another Planned Parenthood clinic breaking the law
posted at 11:23 am on February 23, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Yesterday, Barack Obama released his health-care plan that contains $11 billion in funding for "community health centers," much of it destined for Planned Parenthood clinics around the country. What do they do with that money? Lila Rose and Live Action Films released their ninth video exposing the tenth clinic that broke laws requiring medical providers to report potential child abuse to the state. This time it's the PP clinic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that advises a 14-year-old girl how to get an abortion without disclosing that a 31-year-old man is responsible for impregnating her:
New undercover footage shows staff at a Milwaukee, WI Planned Parenthood abortion clinic counseling a purportedly 14-year-old statutory rape victim not to tell anyone about her 31-year-old boyfriend and coaching her how to obtain an abortion without her parents' consent. The new video, ninth in a series from Live Action documenting similar behavior in 5 other states, comes amid recent controversy about Planned Parenthood's compliance with state laws regarding minors and abortion.
In the video, after hearing the girl is 14 and her boyfriend is "much older," the counselor says whether or not the situation will be reported by clinic workers "depends on the person you're disclosing that information to." When the girl says that her boyfriend is 31, the counselor tells her, "You don't have to say anything" about the statutory rape and instructs her, "Just give them the information that's needed." The counselor also confirms that the 31-year-old "boyfriend" will be paying for the abortion.
In Wisconsin, sex between an adult and a minor under age 16 is a felony, and health care professionals are required to report such cases to law enforcement immediately. The law specifically includes abortion providers in this requirement.
Live Action, the youth-led pro-life nonprofit that produced the video, has previously released undercover footage in its "Mona Lisa Project" showing sexual abuse cover-up at Planned Parenthood clinics in California, Indiana, Arizona, Tennessee, and Alabama. The Alabama Department of Health put a Birmingham Planned Parenthood on probation two weeks ago after finding 9 legal violations during an investigation prompted by a Live Action video.
Twenty-one-year-old UCLA student Lila Rose, Live Action's president, says her organization's videos reveal a common trend of unethical counseling practices and disregard for the law at Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S.: "In case after case, Planned Parenthood acts in contempt of its legal and professional obligations to report child rape. At a time when the Obama administration, through its new health care plan, is offering potentially billions of dollars to the abortion industry, state and federal lawmakers need to take notice of Planned Parenthood's lawlessness and make certain they receive no more taxpayer subsidies."
Why are we funding an organization with a demonstrated pattern of lawbreaking and disregard for their communities?
