Preparing Tomorrow's Workforce Today
What Standards Organizations Can Bring to the Table
To aid industry in its investment in preparing today's students for tomorrow's workforce, an ASTM International staff task group is looking at industry needs, current best practices in academia and what standards organizations can bring to the table.
The education of students pursuing careers in STEM - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - and entry-level workforce development is a significant priority for industry, academic institutions and the standards community. ASTM International can serve as a conduit for students to attain experience before beginning careers in these industries. Access to the direct participation of industry stakeholders in standards development, along with online tools and training and certification services, gives students an opportunity for additional education, experience and networking. Engaging students helps businesses transition potential employees seamlessly into the workforce.
The industry sectors that are driving the requirement for standards knowledge are those whose processing and design needs require that entry-level technical employees understand material behavior in particular service environments. According to an Ernst and Young article, "There is a growing mismatch between the skills employers need and the talent available." An estimated 31 percent of employers worldwide find it difficult to fill positions because of talent shortages in their markets, resulting from an inadequate number of students graduating with the skills desired by global employers.
For many years, standards developers and other proponents of technical standards have documented the need for college and university students to learn about standards. Standards help to advance the global business interests of companies around the world because they are integral to global supply chains and operations. In addition, standards are used in marketing and product development strategies and have a huge impact on competition. In the construction field, standards also define legal requirements that must be met, and to some extent, set the standard of care by which the engineer's performance may be judged. Additionally, the accreditation requirements of many engineering disciplines require instruction in the existence of industry standards and their relevance to engineering. As a result, educators increasingly include industry standards in their curricula.
Scope of Work
To better understand industry needs, current best practices in academia, and what standards developers might bring to the table, a team of ASTM International staff members is studying this issue. Using surveys, Web conferences and telephone interviews, the team is determining industry requirements for entry-level technical employees' standards knowledge. The group is evaluating what resources and mechanisms would provide content to help prepare students for entry into a professional career.
At the conclusion of its research, the team will develop a report based on its findings.
Methods of Analysis
Some actions currently under way to gather information and develop the report include:
- Reviewing the existing course content, texts, curricula, e-platforms and outreach programs and academic support activities in standards development organizations and professional societies to determine best practices, define gaps and identify possible partnership opportunities;
- Surveying ASTM technical committee members and engineering and design firms to determine industry requirements for the standards knowledge of entry-level technical employees;
- Evaluating whether subject matter experts who are ASTM committee members would be interested and willing to develop course content/modules that would prepare students for entry into the workforce;
- Investigating assessment tools, including quizzes, study guides and worksheets that might supplement educational content; and
- Analyzing the opportunities for personnel certification in various industry sectors to determine if there are opportunities available based on the output of investigations.
ASTM International's work in helping prepare tomorrow's workforce is timely as concerns grow over retirements and skills gaps in today's industrial environment. Our study will position ASTM to provide the resources and strategies that address workforce development and create tools to provide the necessary skills for the workplace for years to come.James Olshefsky (phone: 610-832-9714) is director of external relations, global cooperation, at ASTM International.

Oops, something didn't work.
that is hot
looks like there is quite a bit of input lag though, i wonder if they use pattern recognition similar to natal because in that case, lag could be reduced with further traning of the recognition..
it'd also be fun to know how much of natal software tech has gone into these two things
seeing natal at techfest would also be super awsome, but im not holding my breath :/

The words infimum and supremum are technical terms in mathematics. Should their plurals be infima and suprema or infimums and supremums?
Sign up

For mathematicians, the plurals of infimum and supremum are infima and suprema, respectively. Google Ngrams shows that the incorrect plurals infimums and supremums are used roughly equally often (and much less often than the correct plurals), so I don't believe there is actually any asymmetry.
Here is the Google Ngram with the incorrect plurals:
They are used so infrequently that they barely show up on an Ngram if you try to compare the usage of the correct and incorrect plurals.
According to this dictionary of math terms, the plural of infimum is infima. Similarly, the plural of supremum is suprema.
As this NGram shows, suprema and infima are also used more than the plurals formed with an s.
The already given Ngrams are kind of biased since suprema and infima appear as plurals outside of mathematics. One can argue that this is the plural in general. But more than that, those words also appear in inner Latin, Italian or Spanish texts (ex. Corte Suprema).
In conclusion, I wouldn't say supremums, infimums are incorrect, but are less used. You can't go wrong with infima/suprema. Note that Wikipedia math articles, such as this also use infima/suprema.
Infimum ("the lowest") and supremum ("the highest") are Latin words. For the neutral genus, the plural is given by replacing -um with -a . So I would suggest doing it like the Romans: infima and suprema.
Pluaral of Supremum is Suprema. The Plural of infimum can be either infima or infimums.
Wiktionary does wonders.

Android has a nifty feature to disable auto-rotation... Is there some sort of gesture or key combination to rotate your screen? (Say I am in a browser and want to rotate). The idea is to be on auto-rotate = off (mostly desired) and manually change the orientation when needed without exiting the application (preferably).
I use Quick Settings and there's an option to toggle auto-rotate. I have it so the shortcut to Quick Settings lives in my Notification bar so to toggle it requires a swipe, two taps and the back button to toggle it and get back to the app I was in.
If you wanted to reduce this down to
I'm sure you could probably set it up as a sortcut in Gesture Launcher but I never had any luck with that app. All it does is force close for me.
Edit: Sorry, misread you question. I don't know of any app that does that and I looked around but came up empty. Personally, that would actually be the ideal behavior of the screen orientation and while I'd have no idea how to make it, it can't be that hard. I'd recommend asking around at the XDA forum. Hopefully someone there may know or maybe one of the devs there will make an app to do it.
I don't know any way to do it by system tools. However, I know couple of apps, which will let you complete this task. You need root access. Here is what I have: Ultimate Rotation Control and GMD GestureControl Lite. GestureControl lets you tight almost anything to any gesture. And URC has an ability to share switches of orientations of screen as "Actions". So you're going to GMD and make new gesture and tie it to "Action" — any desired orientation from URC.
P.S. You need root to use GMD because, AFAIK Android has no another way to set system-wide gestures.
You can do this with Tasker. Here's a small tutorial
In your profiles screen, click the + button and select application. In the following screen that shows with the list of your installed apps, choose the app that you would wish to turn the Orientation lock to off when opened.
Go back and you will be asked to create a new task. Create one and add the action Display Rotation and set it to on.
Now go back and long press on the task you created and click 'Add exit task' do the same thing as you did before but instead of setting it as on, set it to off.
So now, whenever you open the app that you've chosen (Browser), you can switch to landscape mode and at other times stay locked with whichever orientation you leave the app with.
Since you've said toggling auto is fine, you can just use the quick settings pull-down in Jelly Bean and later. Hold the phone in the orientation you want, then pull down the settings tray, and turn auto-rotate back on. When it's rotated, turn it off again right away.
You can even use it on phones that don't have the stock settings tray, if they have a replacement. Samsung phones are an example of this: instead of two trays, they have one notification panel with "quick access settings" at the top. You can configure which settings are shown, and auto rotate is one of the options.
i don't think so, if your autorotation is off only the application which you are running can force the screen to rotate programatically. You can do this with code but only for your application not for others.
One good example is youtube, if you start youtube in portrait mode and even if your autorotate option is disabled, you can click on a button to watch the video on landscape mode.

Short Bowel Syndrome Diet
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I suffer from short bowel syndrome (SBS) due to extensive resection of my small intestines following damage caused by radiation therapy. I have been cancer free for the past 6 years. However, I have had a difficult time gaining weight after my initial loss of 25 pounds. I eat 5 small meals every day, or approximately 2000 calories. I use a supplement (Boost) as one of my snacks. I have periodic bouts of diarrhea, but recently they have been less in volume and frequency due to, I believe, the removal of my gall bladder in January of this year. I continue to search out specialists who might offer some suggestions as to diets that could produce some weight gain.
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
From what you describe, you are already following the general dietary recommendations for Short Bowel Syndrome ( SBS ). It is a very difficult diet regimen since patients feel as though they are eating all the time just to maximize their intake.
Diet guidelines for SBS include:
You should also be monitored for possible nutrient deficiencies due to your restricted diet as well as the loss of a portion of your GI tract.
Your cancer center should have a staff dietitian.

It might be hard to tell if another driver is high, but your life could depend on it. If you suspect a drugged driver, the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement asks you to call law enforcement right away. This December, National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, state narcotics agents remind you that drugged driving is a serious problem with deadly consequences.
The use of drugs, including marijuana or prescription medication, can impair perception, attention, reaction time, judgment, motor skills, and memory – all faculties necessary for the safe operation of a vehicle. The following research demonstrates the pervasive problem of drugged driving:
Drug Involvement of Fatally Injured Drivers
Overall, 3,952 fatally injured drivers tested positive for drug involvement in 2009.
The National Roadside Survey of Alcohol and Drug Use by Drivers
In 2007, approximately one in eight weekend, nighttime drivers tested positive for illicit drugs. Moreover, approximately one in eight high school seniors responding to the 2010 Monitoring the Future Study (MTF) reported driving after smoking marijuana within two weeks prior to the survey interview.
Drug Testing and Drug-Involved Driving of Fatally Injured Drivers in the United States: 2005-2009 Analysis of 2009 data shows that roughly one in four (23 percent) fatally injured drivers who tested positive for drugs were under the age of 25. Between 2005 and 2009, almost half (42 percent) of fatally injured drivers who tested positive for marijuana were under the age of 25.
After alcohol, THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in marijuana, is the substance most commonly found in the blood of impaired drivers, fatally injured drivers, and motor vehicle crash victims. Several studies have shown that, depending on the location, anywhere from four to 14 percent of drivers who were injured or died in traffic accidents tested positive for THC.
It should also be noted that many prescription drugs including opioid pain relievers and benzodiazepines prescribed for anxiety or sleep disorders come with warnings against the operation of machinery—including motor vehicles—for a specified period of time after use. When prescription drugs are abused or restrictions are not followed, impaired driving and other harmful reactions become much more likely.
Help Stop Impaired Driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs and prescription medication has deadly consequences. Many Iowans have suffered through the loss of a loved one or friend due to a motor vehicle crash. These fatal crashes are unforeseen tragedies which occur in the blink of an eye. Take steps to avoid drugged driving and be sure to share this vital safety information with others:
Page 2 of 2 -
Do not drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Do not allow others to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If you suspect an impaired driver on Iowa's roadways, contact law enforcement immediately.

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$ and $\psi(G)$ be the sum of element orders of $G$. Then $\psi(G)\leq\psi(C_n)$, where $C_n$ is the cyclic group of order $n$ (see "Sums of element orders in finite groups", Comm. Algebra 37 (2009), 2978-2980). Is it true a similar inequality for the product of element orders of $G$?
Denoting the order of $g$ by $o(g)$, you can show that for any decreasing function $f$ the following inequality holds $$\sum_{g\in G}f(o(g))\geq \sum_{g\in \mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z}f(o(g)).$$ This is because one can actually construct a bijection $\sigma:G\to\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z$ which satisfies $$o(\sigma(g))\geq o(g)$$ for all $g\in G$. The main ingredient is a classical theorem of Frobenius saying that when $k$ divides the order of a group, the number of elements of order dividing $k$ is divisible by $k$, then proceed by induction. An application of this exact idea is for example problem 10775 on the American Math Monthly. For your question we just need $f(x)=-\log x$.

Oh, dear. I have begun crafting.
I put it off until I reached level 20 with my main, and truth be told it's just as well. I've never yet sold or traded away any of the crafting materials I've come across (though I should really put the ones I can't use into the guild bank), and I still ran out remarkably quickly. Ah, well. One basic set of armor that I didn't need, and a couple of eight-slot bags that I did, and it was back into the field with me to acquire more leather and jute.
Why couldn't I have picked a crafting discipline that relies on easily-mined metals or readily-chopped trees? Silly me. Still, half a decade as an Assassin-Tailor in EverQuest II seems to have prepared me remarkably well for putting in time as a Thief-Leatherworker in Guild Wars 2. In fact, a lot of what I see in GW2 reminds me, pleasantly, of a more streamlined version of EQII.
"Streamlined," though, is the operative word. The "Discoveries" tab is a great addition to crafting, but I'm a particular fan of the "craft all" button that lets a player refine a huge stack of stuff into a smaller stack of more usable stuff almost instantly. That, right there, is a fantastic feature that makes crafting feel almost fun, rather than punishing like I'm used to it being from other games.
I really needed a crafting break for a while too, because group events on the overland maps had been wearing me down. It's one thing to zone from a safe spot in the overflow to the middle of a melee on the "real" server when there are plenty of players at hand. Suddenly to find yourself alone, surrounded by an event appropriate for 5-15 players? I'd like to say that at least I made my deaths count, but I really didn't. Two dozen level 24+ monsters, to one level 19 me? It feels profoundly unfair, and while the penalties for death are at least minimal, I began deeply to resent the incessant, repeated events that made up the war between the Seraph and the centaurs in the Kessex Hills.
Indeed, the repetitive nature of the large overland zones began to get to me this past week. I enjoy collecting vista views and points of interest, and heart quests and skill challenges are worth completing for their rewards. The pattern, though, grows stale fairly quickly, especially given how many of the heart quests I've completed are utterly interchangeable with one another. (Surprise! Whenever a trap needs checking or a rock needs turning over, it'll have an angry creature in it!)
I do now wish that the first available dungeon zone were at level 20 or 25, instead of level 30. While I've settled into a groove that gains me about two levels per day, it's a groove that's in danger of becoming a rut. Exploring the world still motivates me—particularly now that I've been able to walk from my starting area, through a higher-level area, to other races' starting areas—but when a map's uncovered, it's uncovered.
At least the maps I'm uncovering remain beautiful, though, and fun to explore. And once a character hits 20 and has amassed some weapons expertise, skill points, and skill slots, playing a class really starts to come into its own. The ability to swap out my preferred pistol/dagger weapon set for a bow at pretty much any time is enormously useful, particularly when I find myself standing in the midst of a massive event, with attackers drawing in from all sides.

I have a pair of eights in my hand and my opponent has a Jack and a Queen in her hand. If a Jack turned up on the flop, does my pair of eights still win ?
The rank of the cards is what makes the difference here: since a Jack is bigger than an Eight1, your opponent's pair of Jacks is bigger than your pair of Eights, so your opponents is winning at that point.
1 = the ranks of the cards, in increasing order is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. A bigger card has more "power".
You are losing once he flopped the pair of jacks.
If an 8 appears on the turn (about a 10% chance) or river (about a 5% chance) then you would win with three 8s, also called three of a kind.

When we think about playgrounds we often think of children running, laughing and exploring with their friends. Or, we may be reminded of our own childhood memories of tall metal slides, swings and merry-go-rounds.
The playgrounds we see children playing in today are much different than those constructed years ago. Large structures with slides and tunnels and bright colors excite children just at the sight of them.
But what goes through our minds when we think about playground accessibility and children with disabilities? Typically, we realize we haven't even thought about it.

Starting from scratch....
over the past few months, I've been thinking and looking for a future career in the video game industry (I'm still in high-school though). As I looked around I realised that most of the programs offered required some sort of artistic skill, wich I don't really have (apart from an average talent for drawing), But I do like to use other peoples models and place them and move them around (wich is where level design comes in). I do have cheap home video game making experience (rpg maker, game maker), but I know that it is far from enough. I'm looking to become a level designer (maybe progamming too since I am very good in math, or game designer since I love to critize games and to imagine new possibilities or new things that would be cool in the game), but the problem is, I don't know of any free or cheap(in price not quality ) program that could help me learn and create things for my future portfolio.
I was just wondering if anyone knows any good programs or even books that I could get that would help me learn a little bit more about this aspect of gaming because I wanted to aply to ubisoft camp in the level design program, but it required a portfolio, I'dd love to make one if I could because other than my rpg maker I don't have much to base myself on.
Any other tips on how to get into level-design are also apreciated.

there are pretty fully-powered editors that come shipped with Unreal Tournament 2004 and Oblivion 4. These are some of the same tools that were used in creating each of those games. For the price of the game, you get access to the creation tools, as well as the mod community for any assistance that you might need in getting acquainted with the two editors.
And beyond that, there are a number of free, open-source engines out there with documentation and communities of their own. Search around for some game engines, you're bound to come across something

If you want a free engine that has a huge community behind it I would suggest Ogre. It's got a TONE of possibilities to practice your techniques with but sadly can't handle modern content and caps out at about 20,000 pollys on screen. But it works great for particles, 3D rendering, Post processes and has great documentation and a dedicated community that will answer your posts in as few as a a couple hours.
Or if you want a little bit more Modern stuff I would suggest either Game Studio Express through microsoft or Torque/TorqueX(XBox 360 counterpart) There done in C# but it's a good language to learn and is not a lot different from C++ or even Java. Kinda bridged the gap for my team.Game studio Express is in beta so it's redistribution is not finished and adds about 100mb to your finall project size because you have to ship all the XNA framework as well as Game studio Express and Visual C# updates this is in the fixings though. Also no particles and sometimes it messes up model imports.
Since you want to be a level designer and programmer I would suggest Torque since it has a lot of scripting and more of a Gui feel to it. Also it's more geared toward 2D games but can easily support 3D games aswell
Hope this helps.

Yeah, the problem with RPG Maker and GameMaker is that they are 2D programs and the industry might tend to frown on them and consider them a hindrance in terms of learning today's technology. Which is unfortunate, because as retro as those little programs look, you can do quite a lot with them.
Ogre was already mentioned, and I'll second that. If you want to get up on the more preferred technology, then Unreal or even better, Torque. Gamebryo is another one though I don't know much about it. In reality, it doesn't matter which one you choose. Just find one you like and keep with it. Aside from interface and capabilities, most of the things you learn will translate across programs. It's just like learning a 3D program.
Speaking of that, let me be quite honest with you. You don't really need to have profound art skill to do what you want to do. But it does help, and it's going to make you even more valuable. You need to at least understand the principles of layout and design, lighting, value and texture, etc. I recommend picking up some basic art books... anything for Beginners should go over the basics that I mentioned. Better yet though, I'm sure there are some level design books out there that will cover the rudimentary art knowledge you might need. Check Amazon, I know they're out there.
I also recommend downloading a trial of ZBrush. While ZBrush isn't really recognized by the majority of the industry as a contender for Maya or 3DSMax, my personal thought is that it's worlds easier to understand, and it's far more intuitive as far as modeling is concerned. So if you're just starting out with making your own 3D assets, I highly recommend ZBrush. Again, once you learn how to use one 3D package, it's less of a hurdle to learn the others.
Another option is modding. I just wrote an article about this on my blog, and you can check it out here. Basically it highlights how modding could help you stand out from your competitors (other job-seekers) and get a job in the industry. If there's a computer game you're fond of, check out the modding community and see if that's something you might like to take part in. It's not going to be as 'stand-alone' as using a big name game engine to make a level, but if you're trying to flesh out your portfolio, showing levels you've made for existing games really isn't a bad way to go. Of course, I recommend having your own original level in there, for your own game idea, just to show them that you aren't dependent upon one type of engine or platform.
In response to your query about game design, personally I think the best thing you can do is start documenting your ideas and your levels. When you go to create your own original level from an original game idea, write up a concept document for that idea, and a design document for the level. Detail as much as possible, and when you've completed the level, reflect on your progress. Did you meet your milestone goals? What did you have to alter along the way? Fill out your own postmortem for your level, and include that, your concept and design documentation, and any other 'paperwork' with your actual level in your portfolio. Because again, even if you decide you don't want to be a game designer, it shows a really advanced mindset on your part, and it tells any prospective employer that you know your stuff, and you know how to be professional.
Best of luck to you.

If I want to have a beer ferment in less time would doubling the amount of yeast I pitch help? Will there be any consequences of doing so? Does it matter if I make a starter for them both?
If you are already pitching the correct amount of yeast, pitching more will not make the beer ferment faster. In addition, there are negative flavor consequences to pitching too much yeast. Having proper yeast growth in the fermenter is a big factor in ester production or lack thereof. I used to pitch an entire slurry from a previous batch into the next batch. When I started using 1/3 to 1/2 of the slurry the beer flavor improved considerably. According to Dr. Clayton Cone of Lallemand, the same enzyme, Co-Enzyme A, is responsible for both cell growth and ester production and when it's doing one it won't be doing the other. Therefore, allowing for cell growth means that you will fewer esters produced and a cleaner beer. This contradicts some other theories, but it's what I've found to be true in my own brewing. You can read more about it here yeast growth and esters. So, to sum up, pitching twice as much yeast won't speed up fermentation and might have negative impact on beer flavor.
Making a starter is all about increasing your yeast cell count.
It might technically decrease the amount of time needed, but likely only by a few hours, not days, if you're normally pitching a dry packet, smack pack, or vial per 5 gallons. What you're doing by introducing a larger yeast population is ensuring that it will be dominant and healthy, very important for higher gravity beers, and probably never a bad idea.
There are several good questions already about starters:
As mentionned by Denny and Mlusby, adding more yeast is not the way to go to speed up things.
Yeast can be more productive at certain temperature, so I would rather focus on controlling the temperature in my fermenter.
Making a yeast starter can also save so time in the process.

Updated Release January 2008
Beacon, NY—Dia Art Foundation presents an exhibition of early wall drawings by Sol LeWitt at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, from September 16, 2006, through September 2010. "Drawing Series…," a presentation of fourteen key works from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, comprises a selection of wall drawings, chosen, sequenced, and sited by the artist specifically for the galleries at Dia:Beacon.
In the late 1960s, LeWitt articulated a set of aesthetic principles through two key texts that would form the basis of his practice: Paragraphs on Conceptual Art (1967) and Sentences on Conceptual Art (1969). In 1969, he began to use these precepts as guidelines for two-dimensional works drawn directly on the wall. Now numbering over 1,200, the wall drawings occupy a central position in LeWitt's distinguished career. LeWitt's version of conceptual art began with an idea from which he developed a pre-set plan, set of instructions or rules which were then carried out in the most straightforward way possible. Nevertheless, many of the works in "Drawing Series. . ." display LeWitt's readiness to capitalize on circumstance—on the quirks of a particular architectural situation, on the skills and inventiveness of his assistants, or on the different results produced by substituting one material for another. Light-toned and evenly applied, the lines create grids, patterns, and diagrams of varying tonality. LeWitt utilized such media as colored pencil, crayon, and chalk, as well as a variety of linear directives including: straight and wavy; even and uneven; touching and not touching; random and ordered; arcs and circles; and triangles and squares to incarnate the idea. Conceived via pre-set instructions and executed by teams of assistants, these wall drawings eliminate arbitrary, expressive, and subjective actions and eschew traces of hand or taste, yet each instantiation is unique and often unpredictable.
Seen in combination with other works by the artist at Dia:Beacon, "Drawing Series. . ." illuminates the scope and complexity of the artist's vocabulary. A particular highlight of the exhibition is the monumental four-color rendering of Drawing Series—Composite, Part I–IV, #1–24, A+B (1969), realized for the first time for this exhibition. The graphite version of this work, on view in an adjacent gallery, is part of Dia's permanent collection. The exhibition is also complemented by three of LeWitt's later gouache wall drawings and an important early sculpture, 1 2 3: All Three-Part Variations on Three Different Kinds of Cubes (1967/2003).
Related Programs
A series of public and educational outreach initiatives will accompany "Drawing Series. . ." These include the show's inclusion in a specially designed curriculum for Dia:Beacon's Arts Education Program for elementary, middle, and high school students that will incorporate interactions with, and activities around, the LeWitt works.
This exhibition is made possible through the generosity of the New York State Council on the Arts.
Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1928, and attended Syracuse University. After serving in the Korean War as a graphic artist, he moved, in 1953, to New York, where he worked as a draftsman for the architect I. M. Pei. LeWitt had his first solo exhibition at the Daniels Gallery, New York, in 1965, and the following year Dwan Gallery, New York, mounted the first in a series of solo exhibitions. He participated, during the late 1960s and early 1970s, in several significant group exhibitions of Minimalist and Conceptual art, including "Primary Structures," at the Jewish Museum, New York, in 1966, and "When Attitudes Become Form," at the Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland, in 1969. His renowned text "Paragraphs on Conceptual Art" was published in 1967. LeWitt's work was included in Documentas 6 (1977) and 7 (1982) in Kassel, as well as the 1987 Skulptur Projekte in Münster and the 1989 Istanbul Biennial. Major retrospectives of his works were organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1978, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in 2000. "Drawing Series..." a presentation of LeWitt's early wall drawings was installed at Dia:Beacon in 2006. Sol LeWitt died on April 8, 2007 in New York City.

Anyone else not looking forward to coming home from work tomorrow in the dark?
I always hate when they switch back from DST in the fall. At least they pushed it a few weeks later a few years ago.. But it's depressing to get home from work and it's already "nighttime"...
20 Answers answer
I can't really say it's going to be a whole lot of difference ... the past couple weeks, I've been leaving for work when it was still dark and coming home after dark.
I get home at 3:30, so....
Meh, at least the sun won't be in my eyes.
It's almost S.A.D. time. Blah.
I do miss the more moderate time swings of my hometown in Southern California. So bright at night in the upper midwest, so dark in the winter.
Eh... I prefer having light when I drive in to work... Makes it easier for me to get my day started anyway.
...at first glance I thought that was a reference to our friends on the East coast that have been in the dark for a while now...
@ganzhimself: I agree. I can handle it at night better...this whole waking up when it's dark out sucks. I prefer having light to begin my day.
I get off at 4:30, so I'll have light until I get home and the sun will fade shortly thereafter...at least for another month or so.
I also much prefer the light in the morning. I really do not think young children should be walking to school in complete darkness.
I'm with the OP. This time of year is so depressing. It gets even worse when it's dark in the morning too, so you don't see the sun all day.
I prefer driving to work with the sun up. At least that way I know I will get to feel the sun on my face at least once that day.
These next few weeks won't be so bad, as it won't get dark around here until 5:30 or so, but once we get into December, that slowly creeps up to about 4:30. I'm sure on the east coast, that must be more like 4:00. Not my favorite time of year, that's for sure.
It was a little surprising yesterday to realize oh, it gets dark so early now.
I have been coming home close to nightfall for the past few weeks. This will just be the kicker to getting home in complete darkness. I don't love it, but I'm just glad I'm not going home in complete darkness with it snowing (yet).
Class on Mondays end at 9:00PM..
So now that it'll be theoretically 10:00PM = more darker and colder?
While it was nice to see some light starting to come up this morning on my way to work, that won't last much longer and I would much prefer to have it dark in the morning while I'm inside at work and then get some light for a short time after I get out of work (when I can actually use it).
That's a good point, though, about not wanting children to walk to school in the dark.
I like the ambient lighting in my car when it is dark...
I already miss DST. :(
@narfcake: I work 7am till 6pm, so it's been pretty much that way for me as well. But I had at least a few minutes of twilight left to get home and through my front door before darkness fell. Now here I am at my desk and it is full-on dark out. Time to set up the living room lamp timers again. I had an epiphany leaving the house today. I'm going to hang a small flashlight on a loop over the doorknob so if I forget to leave the porch light on I'll have an easier time unlocking the door.
@wilfbrim: In my neighborhood the parents use headlights. 1 child = 1 SUV, lined up like delivery trucks for a block and a half in front of the school. Most kids don't walk anywhere.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (3/19/12)
March 19, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh today with a briefing on his contacts last week with international leaders, including a visit from Jordan's King Abdullah II; a message from Moroccan King Mohammed VI; and a telephone call from Spanish King Juan Carlos.
The Cabinet discussed a number of reports on the latest developments in the Arab world, reiterating the importance of achieving an immediate end to the bloodshed and violence in Syria, in accordance with the Arab League plan. It also stressed the urgent need to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the displaced Syrian people.
The Cabinet hailed the positive outcome of the 29th session of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, welcoming its efforts to strengthen Arab security cooperation. The ministers also expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the 13th Ministerial Meeting of the International Energy Forum (IEF) held last week in Kuwait, which included the participation of more than seventy oil producing and consuming countries. They reiterated the Kingdom's determination to maintain stable oil markets, to the benefit of all nations, and to cooperate with other parties to achieve fair energy price levels. Moreover, the Cabinet pointed out the key role the Kingdom plays in global affairs, as a result of being the largest producer and exporter of oil, being a member of the Group of Twenty (G-20), and maintaining good relations with nearly all the countries of the world.
Addressing the items remaining on its agenda, the Cabinet approved a series of controls regarding the employment of the families of martyrs and their admission to universities and colleges; approved a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of health between the Saudi Ministry of Health and the British Ministry of Health; and approved the final accounts of the Saudi Railways for fiscal year 1431/1432 H. and the Saudi Industrial Development Fund for fiscal year 1430/1431 H.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Khalid Al-Haij as Undersecretary of the Makkah Municipality for Construction and Projects at the Makkah Municipality (15th rank); Mohammed Al-Rashed as Survey Consultant at the Saudi Geological Survey Commission (15th rank); and Abdulaziz Al-Hafez as Director General for Administrative and Financial Affairs at the Eastern Province Municipality (14th rank). It approved the transfer of Dr. Abdullah Al-Shehri from the post of Director General (14th rank) to the post of Director General of Information Technology (14th rank) at the General Intelligence Presidency.

Cultivating a Dreamer
My son is a dreamer. An absent-minded sort of kid who responds to every question with silence. Who's always looking intently off in the distance or up at the ceiling. Then, when the question is repeated, he'll look as if he's just noticed you're there and say, "Wha?"
It's a trait that, not surprisingly, drives some of his teachers mad.

How is it possible for a Futures contract to have an intangible underlying? For example, to my knowledge, there exist Futures that have interest rates as their underlying, come delivery date, how is the seller suppose to "deliver" interest rates?
It's just cash settled, like a bet on a sports game. This was somewhat controversial when the financial index futures were first invented.
Examples for cash-settled futures are:
The pricing and the risk models differ for all these depending on whether you can trade the underlying or not. With VIX it becomes especially tricky.

Bennington music faculty member Scott Lehrer has received Broadway's highest honor: a Tony Award for his recent sound design of the current Lincoln Center revival of South Pacific. This win comes of the heels of Lehrer winning a Drama Desk Award for the same show.
For the first time in Tony history, sound designers competed for awards in two categories: best sound design of a play and best sound design of a musical. "Originally we were considered technicians, not design artists," said Lehrer in a Sunday, June 1 New York Times article. "It's taken a long time, but now I feel like we're really considered part of the design team."
Lehrer has done three decades of sound design and music production work in the theater, film, music, and museum worlds. As a theatrical designer, Lehrer has worked on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Angels in America, The Heidi Chronicles, and Sunday in the Park with George, along with over 100 other plays and musicals. He designed eleven seasons of Encores! at New York's City Center, including the current Broadway revival of Chicago and was the sound supervisor for their Fall for Dance Festival 2004–2006. In 2002, he received the Lucille Lortel Award for Richard Nelson's play, Franny's Way. At his NYC studio 2nd Story Sound, Rufus Wainwright did tracking for his CD Release the Stars and Antony and the Johnsons have been recording for their new CD. Lehrer's recent museum projects include The Griffith Observatory, Ann Hamilton's installation at the Cabo Rojo lighthouse in Puerto Rico and the Detroit Institute of Arts. He has taught at Bennington since 2002.

Is it possible to have questions were a solution would depend on lack of some certain information?
For example, a variant of Hat Puzzle, can be answered correctly by realizing the hesitation of other participants to conclusively answer and including it into the deduction. But that problem includes a temporal aspect into the riddle.

St. Clairsville's string of success in all sports has been well documented.
Red Devils' head football coach Brett McLean will be the first to say that it's not happened overnight.
For this current Red Devils' football team, it's been a process.
"Unless you're just loaded with talent and the stars align for you, you're not just going to walk into the state semifinals," McLean said. "We've built a program."
This is St. Clairsville's sixth appearance in the tournament under McLean's watch, but it's the first time the Devils have taken this step.
"I think all of our years past have helped prepare us for where we are now," McLean said. "I think that's true of all of our teams' success here."
One of the processes St. Clairsville's current group has been learning is that there are other good teams, too. Obviously, during the regular season, the Red Devils never received a serious challenge.
But, as the weeks have gone along this month, the Red Devils have to had to take some punches in the mouth and they've responded well.
"I thought we lost our breath a little bit against Piketon a couple of weeks ago, and we harped since then that not all of these games are going to be won in the first 90 seconds or even the first quarter," McLean said. "We have to calm down and play four quarters."
Another part of the process for the Red Devils has been taking the coaching and applying it to the opponents. By that, McLean isn't just talking about Xs and Os.
His Red Devils have been an even-keeled bunch all season, which is extremely important whenever you're embarking on new territory and experiences.
"I think they've listened to the coaches, which is one of the most powerful things you can have," McLean said. "We've got a lot of guys in the coaching office that have had a ton of success in coaching and in their pasts. We've been there before, so it's just something that the kids have taken. There's not a lot of arrogance and we've harped and harped on being unselfish and focused. This team is just special that way and I hope the message gets out to the families and younger kids that this is how we need to be to continue to be successful."
St. Clairsville senior Cole Stephen will step back into the lineup both at center and linebacker this weekend after missing last week's game. No one was rooting harder for the Devils than him, so he could get back his teammates as soon as possible.
"It was hard to watch the game," Stephen said. "It feels great to be back in Week 14 with all of my teammates."
Paul Brown Tiger Stadium has hosted a lot of big games over the years, but this is the first time St. Clairsville has played on some of Ohio's most holy football grounds.
The same can't be said for Creston Norwayne, which won the game of all games on the turf in Massillon some 51 weeks ago.
The Bobcats took down heavily favored Kenton on a chilly December afternoon, 48-42.
"We definitely have some good feelings and memories from last year," Norwayne head coach Joe Harbour said. "We've been there a couple of times and whenever you're only travelling an hour to play a playoff game, it's a good thing. We're just comfortable there all the way around. There won't be a shock factor for us."
Before coming to St. Clairsville, McLean spent his college years and his early coaching career in northeast Ohio. As a player at Mt. Union and then he coached at Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas before being hired as the Red Devils' head coach.
During his years, he's seen countless games at Massillon. Heck, he even played at Mt. Union with current Tigers' head coach Jason Hall. The two remain close to this day.
McLean obviously knows a thing or two about the style of football that's played in the northeastern part of the Buckeye State.
There's no getting around the fact that teams from Region 13 have had the number of those of from Region 15 whether it's in the tournament or during that two-year stretch where Belmont County squads were assigned to that regional.
"We can't deny that there has not been a huge amount of success for our region against their region," McLean said. "I am anxious to get there and see how we gauge against them. I know they're ultra successful and have a huge amount of numbers up in that area. That's no disrespect to our players or our area, but I am anxious to get there and see if we can match up."
While many are sleeping in today before embarking on a long day of eating turkey, the Red Devils have a 9 a.m. practice to wrap up the preparations for the week.
"Everyone is excited about being here for Thanksgiving Day practice, and I think we'll have a few special things for them," McLean said.
St. Clairsville is embarking on its ninth game away from Red Devil Stadium and for the second time in three weeks, it's a lengthy ride.
The Red Devils are scheduled to pull out of town at 1:30 p.m. today. They'll stop about halfway into the trip and stretch the legs.
"We hope to be in Massillon somewhere around 4 o'clock," McLean said. "The gates will probably still be locked when we get there. We just want to make sure we're there early and able to get our legs back. We've talked all season about being a good travel team and keeping focused."
St. Clairsville High School officials indicated that the community is encouraged to line the streets of downtown St. Clairsville Friday at approximately 1:15 in preparation for the team buses to make their way through town.
No advance tickets will be on sale today because of the holiday, but fans can purchase tickets until noon tomorrow at the St. C. Athletic Office. The ticket price increases in the state tournament to $8 in advance and $10 at the gate. There will also be a $3 charge for parking.

Signs of Approaching Labor
In This Article:
More signs of approaching labor
Engagement of the head
With a first baby, dropping down of the baby's head into your pelvis, known as engagement, usually means that labor is likely to start soon. In second and subsequent pregnancies, engagement may not occur until the start of labor.
You can usually tell that your baby's position has changed in two ways. First, you may notice that you have less discomfort in your upper abdomen or around your ribs because the downward movement releases some pressure. Second, you may notice increased pressure or pain in your pelvic or vaginal area as the baby's head moves into position. Your walking may become more of a waddle and you may have to use the bathroom more frequently than before. In some cases, your baby's head may pinch some of the nerves that run through your pelvis and you may experience sciatica, a sharp electric pain that runs down the outside of your leg to your outside toes (see Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)).
The "bloody show"
In pregnancy, a plug of mucus forms at the end of the cervix to prevent infection from entering the uterus. At the end of pregnancy, as the cervix softens and widens, this plug is dislodged and comes out through the vagina. When this occurs, you may see a discharge known as the "bloody show"; although some women don't notice anything. The discharge may appear as a thick, clear or yellow clump that looks like mucus from your nose. It's common for small amounts of blood to be present due to small tears in the cervix as the plug comes away.
Losing the plug of mucus usually means that labor will begin soon and you should make plans to leave for the hospital in the near future (within 12 hours). However, if loss of the plug is accompanied by other symptoms, such as painful, frequent contractions, heavy bleeding or leaking fluid (indicating your water has broken), you should call your doctor or hospital immediately.
Water breaking
Rupture of the amniotic membranes, called the water breaking, usually occurs once labor has started, but it can happen earlier. If this happens, it often means that labor is imminent. For some, a big gush of fluid is a clear sign that their water has broken, while for others there may be a trickle and it can be hard to determine if the amniotic fluid is leaking. Also, since many women have trouble controlling their bladder in pregnancy, telling the difference between urine and amniotic fluid can be hard. One way to tell is to wear a sanitary pad. If the pad quickly becomes soaked, your water has probably broken. Amniotic fluid also has an odor that is different than urine, even to nonprofessional noses.
Monitoring after the water breaks
If you think your water has broken but contractions haven't started, contact your doctor or the hospital for advice. If you're due, there are no complications, and your baby's head is engaged, you may be advised either to stay at home for a while to see if labor starts, or will be asked to be seen at the hospital. This is because, once your water has broken, your baby has lost the protective membrane surrounding him or her, which means there is an increased risk of an infection reaching your baby. The doctor should check your file to see if you're Group B Strep (GBS)-positive, and if you are, you'll be admitted and started on IV antibiotics. She may also monitor your baby's heartbeat to check that your baby isn't distressed. If you're GBS-negative and all is well, you may be able to return home, or stay at home, for a set amount of time and an appointment will be made to see how you're progressing. If labor doesn't start within 24 hours (the timeframe may be shorter in some hospitals), the hospital may suggest an induction (see Induction of Labor).
Early contractions
As your body prepares to go into labor, you will start to experience mild and irregular contractions. These differ from Braxton Hicks' since they build gradually and will soften and dilate the cervix.

Are there any standard checklists for how to make an app more 'intuitive'? This of course will differ from app to app...but I am sure there will be some generic ones that apply to all.

Detailed Description:
MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-Like Episodes), a progressive and often devastating multisystem disorder, is most commonly associated with mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) point mutation at nucleotide 3243. Seizures, cognitive deterioration, and neurobehavioral abnormalities are frequent features of this disease which typically shortens life expectancy. Idebenone, an ATP production modulator and antioxidant, improves neurological function in Friedreich's ataxia, a disease also associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
Given that there is no effective treatment for MELAS, the investigators propose a Phase II proof of concept trial of idebenone to study its preliminary efficacy in patients with MELAS and the A3243G mtDNA mutation, and to study its safety and tolerability in this patient group.
The investigators propose to evaluate 21 patients with the A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation and MELAS (defined by a history of either seizures or stroke). Patients will receive idebenone (900 mg/day or 2250 mg/day) or matching placebo for one month. The primary outcome measure is cerebral lactate levels measured by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), a biomarker associated with disease worsening. This study will help the investigators to determine if there is sufficient signal to proceed to efficacy studies. Also it will provide additional information on the safety and tolerability of two different doses of idebenone in MELAS.

There's Something in the Water in Sioux City
A few states like to fancy themselves as America's basketball epicenter—Indiana, North Carolina and Kentucky, all come to mind. But in terms of producing promising high-school talent, there's an unlikely contender: Iowa.
Iowa had more McDonald's MCD -1.48 % All-American nominations than any other state this year (34) and last year (36). In the past five years, Iowa, with 172 nominations, trails only big-state powers Texas (271), California (259) and Florida (225). Taking into consideration that Iowa has a population of slightly more than 3 million people, that's one All-American nomination for every 17,711 Iowans. There's one for every 143,838 Californians.
But despite the success of Iowa in the initial nominations, they tend to get forgotten about when the field is narrowed down for the all-star game. In the past five McDonald's All-Star games, only two players from the Hawkeye State made the cut, including 2010 MVP and current Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes.
It will likely be another Iowa-less all-star game this year when McDonald's finalizes rosters Thursday. Not a single Iowan player is currently ranked in Scout.com's top 100.

Hi MathOverflow,
I'm not sure if it makes sense to ask this question in the general setting, but:
Are there any necessary conditions for a function, such that if $N$ is a not Lebesgue measurable, $f(N)$ is Lebesgue measurable?
I am working on a problem, which seems to suggest that there are no 'trivial' conditions on the function (in particular, $f$ can be injective, which is a surprise to me). The problem is a as follows:
Pick a non Lebesgue measurable set $N \subset (0,1) \subset \mathbb{R}$ and write $x \in (0,1)$ in an infinite binary expansion, i.e. $x = 0.x_1x_2...$ with $x_i = 0$ or $1$ and infinitely many $x_i$'s equal to $1$ (this is ok, since $0.1 = 0.0111...$).
Now, take $f(x) = 2 \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} x_i 3^{-i}$. Then $f(N)$ is Lebesgue measurable, since it maps any set to a Cantor-like set (of measure zero) (thanks to Tapio Rajala for the easy solution).
$f$ just takes $x$ to a base $3$ representation with no $1$'s in the expansion, thus is clearly injective. It sort of "spreads out" the elements of set $N$. Also, clearly $f(N) \subset (0,1)$.
The thing that bothers me is that this seems to suggest that this $f$ is able to transform any non-measurable set into a measurable one, without really "loosing information" about it (because it is injective), which just sounds too good to be true.
I tried to look for sources on functions applied on non-Lebesgue measurable sets, but failed to find anything, so if anyone could guide me to some I would highly appreciate it too.

This version fixes several bugs and crashes, all users are encouraged to upgrade. The source code can be downloaded from the KDE servers, packages for your distributions should hopefully be available soon. It is also recommended to use the latest version of the MLT framework (0.8.8) to get the recent bugfixes and improvements.
You will find detailled infos about the new features / fixes on our Kdenlive 0.9.4 info page.
Our efforts will now concentrate on merging the refactoring work started by Till Theato (as a result of our fundraising campain) , and cleaning the codebase to make it easier to evolve and integrate the future developments in the MLT video framework.
As usual, a big thank you to all those who helped us make this release better by giving us feedback and investigating the bugs they found.
You can check the Kdenlive online manual and forums for documentation and help.
For the Kdenlive team,

Congrats and Kudos to j-b-m and the entire Kdenlive team on the best release to date hands-down!
Thanks very much for remaining focused on bug fixing rather than new features for this release, also a huge thanks for supporting older KDE and QT4 versions with this release. Best of luck and continued success with the refactoring process.
Tue, 01/29/2013 - 11:41
Great Job!!! Awesome Work... Wonderful Application!!!

" Kdenlive can also now analyse an object's motion, and the result of this can be used as keyframes for a transition or an effect. For example, you can now have a title clip that follows an object."
How exactly do you do this?
I could generate some tracking information with the "Auto Mask". But how do you apply it to a title?
Tue, 01/29/2013 - 12:55
Thanks to all of you!
Tue, 01/29/2013 - 12:56
In ver 0.9.4 there is a new menu item available from the effects in the effect stack - "create region" This is in addition to the Reset Effect, Create Group and Save Effect options that are part of 0.9.2
See screen shot
So what does "create region" do ? - so I can add it to the manual. If you select it you get a file dialog asking you to choose a file. But I dunno what sort of file it takes as input and what it to do with it.
Tue, 01/29/2013 - 13:00
"issue #1056 Remember window size/position and zoom in titler" is down as being fixed with a note saying "no change required "
I dunno about others but this issue has not been fixed. Your titler reverts to default size all the time for me at least. Not really a big deal. But the issue is not resolved.
Tue, 01/29/2013 - 19:41
Great job! Thank you j-b-m, thank you Kdenlive Team!

No CSS style with a basic Grid
I am trying to build a grid using GXT 3.0.0 as the BasicGrid example provided by Sencha. However, I have spent a while to figure out why my header doesn't get a modern and clean CSS style. Do you have any clues in order to solve this problem?
I do inherit the com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT and add the reset.css file in my project.
protected void buildGrid() { final ColumnModel<AlertDto> cm = new ColumnModel<AlertDto>(buildColumnConfig()); store = new ListStore<AlertDto>(props.id()); grid = new Grid<AlertDto>(store, cm, new GridView<AlertDto>()); grid.setBorders(true); grid.getView().setAutoFill(true); grid.getView().setStripeRows(true); grid.setAllowTextSelection(false); this.setHeaderVisible(false); this.add(this.grid); // added to a ContentPanel }
29 May 2012 9:42 AM #2
It's very difficult to understand what exact problem you're noticing. Does the example you linked have the styling you expect? If not, how does it differ? Consider adding a screenshot if that will make it clearer how your case differs from that in the Explorer.
29 May 2012 11:51 AM #3
Thank you for your quick reply. Here are two screenshots showing the difference. FYI, I am trying to run GXT 2.X and 3.X simultaneously. The first screenshot shows a grid implemented with GXT 2.X. The second one shows a GXT 3.X grid
1) With a nice CSS style for the header :
2) Without CSS style on the header :
(Firebug doesn't link the CSS style of this header to a usual css file)
I was expected to get the normal Blue style as in your example. I do think I will get this problem with the other widgets. Moreover, I also got the same problem when I tried to use the GridView(GridView.GridAppearance appearance) constructor. Finally, I don't get a scrollbar (but the source of this problem is probably different)
I get some warnings from the compilation process as defined on this thread. Different problems were detected while invoking the InlineClientBundleGenerator. But I don't know if that can be related to my CSS problem.
I hope I have been clearer.
Thank you,
31 May 2012 5:03 AM #4
I have built a new little application from scratch using GXT 3.0.0 only. I do have still the same problem : strange CSS default look on the grid header (not the clean and modern blue style). I got the same warnings during the compilation process.
There are no worries with other widgets.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Suppose one has a set $S$ of positive real numbers, such that the usual numerical ordering on $S$ is a well-ordering. Is it possible for $S$ to have any countable ordinal as its order type, or are the order types that can be formed in this way more restricted than that?
Yes, one can have any countable ordering. Indeed any countable totally ordered set can be embedded in $\mathbb{Q}$. Write your ordered set as $ \lbrace a_1,a_2,\ldots \rbrace $ and define the embedding recursively: once you have placed $a_1,\ldots,a_{n-1}$ there will always be an interval to slot $a_n$ into.
You can get any order type. Let's assume you can get all order types up to but not including alpha, using subsets of (0,1]. If alpha=beta + 1 then squash your representation of beta and add an extra point. If alpha is a limit ordinal, choose a sequence of ordinals that converges to alpha and put the first one into (0,1/2], the second into (1/2,3/4] etc. and the result will have order type alpha.
To complete the picture (the obvious remaining part). If ${S\subset\mathbb R}$ is well ordered, then it is countable: indeed it has countable cofinality. Thus well-ordered subsets of R are exactly countable ordinals.
Using wellorderings of positive reals is actually the standard way to construct an Aronszajn tree.

The problem with my body is that I'm so right handed so that my left upper body almost look wasted. My MAC (Mid Arm Circumference) on my left side is 30 while my MAC on my right side is 36. It's the same with my pectoralis muscles, lattismus dorsi, etc. How can I correct this? Are there any particular workouts that I should concentrate on?

For a body symmetry issue you need to address a few things. For one, work out! if you just do you daily tasks you're going to favor one side, that means one side is going to be disproportionate.
Next you need to counter the imbalance, you can do this by increasing the amount of single side workouts(one arm, one leg, one pec, ect). Work the weak side harder than the strong side every other work out, you'll start to see the difference. Just like any problem you're going to have to address the specific area if you want to solve it.
When in doubt up the amount of weight for both sides, force the weak side to up it's game. Use dumbbells they will make your body keep you honest, they reduce bad habits and don't allow for you to cheat and use one side more than the other.
If you do free-weight exercises with good form and appropriate weights, this problem should gradually correct itself. The only important caveat would be that if you do exercises with dumbbells, you need to make sure that you do the same weight and same number of repetitions with you strong right hand as you do with your weaker left hand. For anything you do, you'll have to use a weight that your (weaker) left side can handle. That weight might not be enough to stimulate your stronger right side, but that's what you want, because it would force your left side to grow stronger, while your right side will stay about the same. Eventually, your left side will start to catch up.
With exercise machines there's a chance that one arm could compensate for the other, so you might want to stay away from those.
