Who coined the name "tensor" and why? What does the word "tensor" really mean, not the mathematical definition?
I think the OP referes to the modern meaning of the word, in which case, according to that website, it first appeared in german physicist Woldemar Voigt's paper Die fundamentalen physikalischen Eigenschaften der Krystalle in elementarer Darstellung published in 1898. (I do not have access to this paper, but probably this deals with deformation tensors in crystals).
A tensor muscle is a muscle that stretches some part of the body, e.g. the tensor veli palatini or tensor tympani. The word ultimately derives from the Latin tendere meaning "to stretch", see Douglas Harper's etymonline.
Hamilton first introduced the term to mathematics; see its entry in "Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics".

A new orally administered inhibitor of the enzyme Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase has been tested in advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC ). The drug, called erlotinib or Tarceva, had not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but was granted a fast track status in May 2002 for the treatment of chemotherapy-naive advanced NSCLC. This was later (2004) extended to include second and third line monotherapy for patients who failed standard therapy.
In a recently presented abstract (ASCO 2004), investigators from the National Cancer Institute of Canada showed that erlotinib reduced the risk of death by 29% in patients with relapsed NSCLC. This study was impressive as it is the first to shown an extended survival in patients with recurrent disease. This study was a 731-paitent, double blinded, placebo controlled Phase III trial which compared Tarceva to placebo in the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. All patients had experienced disease progression following first or second line chemotherapy. Overall survival in the treatment arm was 6.7months versus 4.7 months in the placebo group. This two-month difference was found to be statistically significant with a p value of 0.001. After one year of follow up, 30% of patients taking erlotinib were alive as opposed to 20% of those on placebo.
Tarceva is a small molecule designed to target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (HER1) pathway, which is critical to cell growth in many cancers. HER1, also known as EGFR, is a key component of the HER signaling pathway, which often is involved in the formation and growth of numerous cancers. Tarceva is designed to inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the HER1 signaling pathway inside the cell, which blocks tumor cell growth. This is an important pathway for cell growth, differentiation, cell division, metastasis, and cell survival.
Tarceva seems to be a very well tolerated drug. Thus far the only adverse effects noted are a rash, conjunctivitis, and some diarrhea. However, some oncologists contend that the rash seen with Tarceva is actually a surrogate marker for drug activity the worse the rash the more active the drug. This phenomenon was seen with another tyrosine kinase inhibitor currently approved for NSCLC Iressa. The diarrhea is mild and seems to be manageable.
Unlike gefitinib (Iressa), all subgroups of patients seem to benefit from erlotinib. This study was unable to differentiate which subset of patients would stand to achieve the greatest benefit from the drug. Some differences in response were noted: women responded better than men, life long non-smokers responded better than current or former smokers, and those with adenocarcinoma better than those with other histologic subtypes of NSCLC. However, all of these observations, with the exception of smoking, did not translate to a survival benefit.
Recent research published in both the New England Journal of Medicine and the journal Nature, from two competing groups at the Harvard Medical Center , showed that an activating mutation in the gene for EGFR appears to determine which patients will respond to the EGFR-inhibitor gefitinib or Iressa. It is unclear what role, if any, does the EGFR mutation play with respect to erlotinib, but it is the subject of current intense investigation. Clinically, a similar patient profile seems to benefit from Iressa as does from Tarceva, but to date, no genetic correlations have been shown.
Studies of Tarceva are ongoing as this drug is still not approved by the FDA for use outside of clinical trials.

Big thanks for all your hard work and for releasing this, Sencha Touch v2 Final is awesome but really need the charts too !
Now all that is missing is the Linux download for the v2 SDK tools.... but in saying that its far less important than having charts.

Minor issue on examples/index.html
WordMap example links to "examples/WordMap/index.html" but link is actually "examples/Wordmap/index.html" (m lower case). So on case-sensitive file systems the link is broken, even when serving up via a web server such as Nginx.
Navigating to the example directly works fine.

Status of the bundled Sencha Touch code
Great to see this materialise
I guess these limitations are already known, but things I've found so far are:
1) I notice that it needs to run with its own bundled copy of Sencha Touch 2 since it throws exceptions if loaded with the recently released Sencha Touch 2. Is the intention to release this product alongside an updated Sencha Touch 2? Presumably we must treat this bundled Sencha Touch 2 as a new beta too?
2) No event support yet.
3) Only the canvas engine engine is present.

Interesting points Mike, I also had a look into this.
Lines of code:
touch-charts/sencha-touch-debug.js 78012
sencha-touch/sencha-touch-debug.js 15114
sencha-touch/sencha-touch-all-debug.js 78370
Thus we can conclude that "sencha-touch-debug.js" in the Charts beta is actually closer to a full build like "sencha-touch-all-debug.js" in Touch v2 Final.
If you use a decent diff viewer between Charts "sencha-touch-debug.js" and Touch "sencha-touch-all-debug.js" you'll find nearly all of the differences are:
- touch missing annotations (e.g. //<feature, //<debug etc)
- touch turns dynamic loading OFF by default (interesting)
- some other insignificant differences
If you include sencha-touch-all-debug.js from the Sencha Touch v2 final release in the Touch Charts examples instead of sencha-touch.js all the examples appear to work OK from my brief testing.
Therefor I conclude there is an issue with dynamic loading, not a special build of Sencha Touch. And I am looking into this further so I can use dynamic loading with Touch Charts.
9 Mar 2012 12:55 AM #7
I have Touch Charts v2 Beta working using dynamic module loading with the stock Sencha Touch v2 Final sencha-touch-debug.js, also using dynamic module loading (not the -all build).
There were just a few minor issues. 2 missing requires in class definitions. And a assignment of a dependent classes member to a class member in the class definition object literal, before the requires for the class had executed, so I moved this one to the class after definition callback.
Although there are only a few lines that have been changed sorry my editor strips trailing whitespace and tabs automatically on saving so there are a bunch of whitespace-only line changes in the diff too.
Moving on to more exciting things with Touch Charts now I have it working with my dev environment =)
On Linux and probably Mac too you can apply the patch from the unzipped Touch Charts directory in terminal with the command "patch -p1 -i path/to/patch.diff.txt". Windows users - your on your own.

ferrets and events
BTW, the event handling I'm missing is the ability to detect touch events on Sprites. This is clearly present in some of the chart examples, but I notice that the event handling example in the Draw guide fails.
Ah, but it also fails in Charts 1...
OK, moving on, I see that charts handle their own events through the interaction, getItemsForPoint logic implemented in chart/interactions/Abstract and chart/Chart and the series codes. Does this mean there has never been any generic event logic designed for Sprites?

I added the charts to my project, and before even creating a chart (just including the scripts) I got this error. Known issue?

The Africanized Honeybee first appeared in the United States in 1990.
Although they have not made their presence in Alabama at this time, there has been an established breeding population in multiple states including Florida and Georgia.
According to Randy Hamann of the Alabama Department of Agriculture, "the danger of the Africanized Honeybee is its much more aggressive and its habitat is much more spread out than the European bee."
Tests have confirmed that multiple stings from Africanized Honeybees were the recent cause of death of an elderly man in Dougherty County, Georgia. Regional Extension Agent, Phillip Carter states that "the Africanized Honeybees will show up in Alabama, now where at, nobody can tell you that."
So how are the Africanized honeybees spreading? Carter says "they can actually skip over a state you know in other words and end up in another state via different ways of transportation."
It's impossible to know when or where Africanized bees will enter the state of Alabama, however, in the meantime, traps have been placed around the state so the public can be advised when they arrive.
Randy Hamann says that the Alabama Department of Agriculture is "trying to educate the public by means of brochures, updates on where the Africanized Honeybee is at the present and we're putting out posters at the local extension offices."
The Africanized Honeybee tends to swarm and nest in unusual areas and may sting people, pets and livestock if they feel their colony is threatened. Carter explains that "they will build a colony in an old tire, just pretty much anywhere, attached to a limb."
Because Africanized Honeybees look almost identical to the common European Honeybees, if one approaches you or you inadvertently provoke an attack, remember this expert advice...
According to Phillip Carter, "don't start swatting that's the worst thing you can do" and Hamann says to "go into the nearest building, vehicle, anything you can do to get away from them."
Even though they can be dangerous in large numbers, it is important to remember that one third of our diet relies on honeybee pollination. If you do encounter a disturbed nest, contact a trained pest control operator, beekeeper or state official.

Vincent joined the staff in August and hit the ground running as she endeavors to revitalize the leadership and public service major at DWU with new opportunities to engage students in applying classroom learning to meet real-world needs. These experiential learning opportunities involve students in service to local and regional nonprofits, help them discover ways to develop their own nonprofit organizations, encourage them to speak out about important policy issues, and create innovative events to draw awareness and raise funds for local charities.
Student groups in her leadership and public service class this semester have learned important leadership lessons by organizing projects including a golf benefit for a local cancer support group, a hunger banquet, a public relations capacity-building project for the Mitchell Weekend Snack Pack Program, and an upcoming art auction for the Abbott House. As Vincent continues at DWU she hopes to use her own background in nonprofit development to connect students and the community. Two seniors, Kelli Swenson, of Chamberlain, and Chase Kristensen, of Plankinton, are working with Vincent and DWU alumnus Thomas Madut to develop a nonprofit aimed at building a primary school in Madut's home country, South Sudan. In addition to teaching and engaging students in local projects, Vincent will also take a group of students to Africa this summer to work on food security and education projects in Rwanda and Uganda, Africa, with Crimson Academy and a nonprofit she founded, Esperance Education Institute.
"George McGovern cared deeply about engaging people in opportunities to make a difference. I am honored to be a part of an institution of faculty, students and community members who are dedicated to carrying out George's legacy of service," Vincent said.
"When we connect the classroom to community needs in our local, regional and global communities, I feel that we are honoring his memory as well as giving unique learning experiences to our students. Whether students' passions lie in being involved with nonprofits, politics, or even for-profit organizations, the experiences we are now offering and will continue to develop in the future, will give them valuable tools to navigate life and be servant-leaders as they further their education and take on careers."
Prior to joining DWU, Vincent served in higher education and as a nonprofit consultant. Vincent recently founded a global nonprofit organization called Esperance Institute, the mission of which is to help under-educated adults acquire occupational skills and career assistance through short-term educational classes. This year programs will be offered in Rwanda, Chile and Ethiopia. During her travels she has also assisted Water Our Thirsty World (www.ourthirstyworld.org) with the implementation of water chlorine devices and helped establish a livestock program to sustain low-income families in rural Rwanda.
"Growing up on a farm south of Chamberlain proved helpful in working with the school headmaster at Crimson Academy to buy 16 goats and a cow and develop a plan to sustain their care," she said. "The parent-teacher organization and I selected the families in greatest financial need in the school and gave them a goat. They will raise the animal and once the animal has offspring they will give the primary animal back to the school to offer to another family. The best part of the project has been witnessing the pride and ownership taken on by the PTA and community who are now sending reports on whose goat has produced and how the animals are helping feed families, boost incomes, and improve the community."
Vincent is now working with DWU's Universities Fighting World Hunger group to expand and sustain the livestock project. Students traveling to Africa this summer will spend time working on the project. The donation site, Livestock for Life, can be found via the McGovern Center's website, www.mcgoverncenter.com, or directly through this link: https://give.dwu.edu/livestock.

Taking for example http://www.hci.iastate.edu/Academics/msonline.php website. I'm still trying to figure out what are the fees for that course. However, the information is not easily available for the visitor. Several clicks are needed to get you somewhere that don't necessary will give you the answer. And I believe this may happen with other universities' websites too. In this specific case, hidden the fees are a conscious action or just bad IA?
Ps: this is a rewriting of my previous infamous question.

-Press Release-
AUSTIN, Texas (February 1, 2011)-- On February 5, 2011, from 8 a.m. to noon, Heart Hospital of Austin and Championship Hearts Foundation will offer free heart screenings for students ages 14 through 18 years of age.
The screening includes a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and a limited two-dimensional echocardiogram, or ultrasound of the heart, to detect Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).
HCM is a serious genetic heart condition in which the heart muscle thickens.
It affects one in 500 student athletes every year, and is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes.
"In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the thickened heart muscle makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood, and can affect the heart's electrical system," Stanley Wang, M.D., clinical cardiologist at Heart Hospital of Austin, said. "Because it usually doesn't have any warning signs, HCM often goes undiagnosed. Left untreated, it can be life threatening."
During the last decade, more than 12,000 students have been screened by Championship Hearts Foundation, with approximately one percent of them requiring a referral for further cardiac testing.
Students/parents may opt to include their test results in a registry managed by Championship Hearts Foundation to support research in adolescent cardiology.
Such registry data will be maintained under the most strict confidentiality standards for medical information.
During the event, there will also be CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) demonstrations.
An AED is a computerized medical device capable of interpreting a person's heart rhythm and recognizing a rhythm that requires a shock.
This free event is made possible by the generosity of cardiologists from Austin Heart, Children's Cardiology Associates, Heart and Vascular of Central Texas, and Heart Clinic of Austin, as well as the complimentary use of facilities at Heart Hospital of Austin.
The free heart screenings will be held in the café of Heart Hospital of Austin, located at 3801 North Lamar Blvd.
Free parking is available in the adjacent parking garage.
Both the ECG and echocardiogram, which take about five minutes each, are non-invasive and painless.
Results of the screening are reviewed by a cardiologist and available immediately.
Parents are welcome and encouraged to accompany their child during the screening.
No appointment is necessary, and students will be seen on a "first come, first served" basis.
Students must have a signed parental waiver in order to receive the screening.
The waiver form is available at
In support of the very worthy Championship Hearts Foundation cause, a $25 tax-deductible donation to the foundation is welcomed, but not required to participate in the screening.
For more information, parents can call the foundation at 512.340.7313.

I live at roughly $(52.4^\circ,-2.1^\circ)$. On sunny evenings I've often looked at the Moon and the Sun and noticed that the light part of the Moon does not appear to line up with the Sun. For example, at about 17:00 GMT on 13 Mar 2011, I noticed the half Moon was facing toward a point roughly $10^\circ-20^\circ$ above where the Sun appeared to be. Why?
I think it is a parallax effect/optical illusion, and I'm not confident of explaining this clearly but here goes!
The normal vector to the illuminated portion of the moon is pointing generally away from the Earth/moon system towards a point over our horizon. At low altitudes (evenings) the sun will be close to the horizon and this can lead to the brain interpreting it as closer than it is and messing up the geometry. This is similar to the enlarged moon illusion when close to the horizon. Basically the normal vector appears to overshoot the sun as we interpret the sun as closer than it is.
This is what you expect, in terms of the moon pointing towards the sun:
Now the above is a flat drawing. The sky appears curved (i.e. the dome of the starry sky). So that curve may introduce some apparent distortion.
To make a drawing that avoids the curvature issue, consider a drawing that only includes the sun, the moon, and a small amount of sky around the line connecting the two. (By the way, even for the curved bowl of the sky, the shortest line connecting the two is well defined except in the case of a new or full moon.) That drawing is approximately flat and will show the above relation.
I am puzzled by you question. When one has two points, the sun and the moon, one can always find a line connecting them, by definition of line.
If you mean why the earth is not part of that straight line, it is because the moon has an orbit around the earth, and the angle of the line earth-moon changes. It is the reason the moon has phases. Earth, moon and sun are on the same line during full moon, and the moon rises while the sun sets.
Edit: If as Ted Bun says you mean the bisecting line from the center of the moon, then the drawing given in wikipedia gives an angle because of the motion of the moon around the earth and the motion of the earth around the sun, except at full moon and new moon (if the rays shown are a correct depiction of the sun's direction).
Edit2: If one looks at the drawing In Carl Brannen's answer in combination with the wiki drawing, I think the parallax arises depending on the phase of the moon, because what one sees from the earth is not the total lit up semicircle of the moon. Part of it is hidden from the human observer so the apparent bisector is not the real bisector.

KINGSTON – A Plymouth County grand jury has indicted a Kingston man on charges of aggravated rape of a child and use of force in the rape of a child 17 years ago.
Fred D. Svenson, 73, a member of the Board of Water Commissioners, was indicted Friday, Feb. 7, in Superior Court in Brockton for incidents alleged to have taken place between November 1996 and February 1997.
Svenson is in the first year of a three-year term as a water commissioner after he was re-elected to the board last year.
Assistant District Attorney Bridget Norton Middleton said Thursday Svenson had not yet been arraigned in Superior Court.
The alleged victim was under the age of 16 at the time of the alleged rape, according to Middleton, resulting in the indictment on the charge of rape of a child. She said it's considered aggravated rape because there were more than 10 years between the defendant and the victim at the time.
Selectmen Chairman Elaine Fiore said Thursday she is aware of the charges against Svenson.

A report published in the current issue of the Indian Journal of Cancer suggests that abortion makes the breast's muscle tissue (epithelium) more likely to act as a cancer-producing agent. "It has been suggested that abortions leave the breast epithelium in a proliferative state with an increased susceptibility to carcinogenesis," it says.

COPPERAS COVE (October 10, 2012) ---A sign that read "We Are Closed" was taped on the front door of the Tiny Treasures Academy Wednesday afternoon in Copperas Cove.
The owner, who did not want to be identified, said the state shut down the facility on Tuesday and that all the parents were notified by phone or voicemail that the daycare was closed.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokesperson Julie Moody said the facility's license was revoked after several serious deficiencies were found.
"We have been working with them since April 2011 and they have been unable to maintain the minimum standards," Moody said.
Moody said some of the standards the facility was unable to meet included employee responsibilities (includes the ability to maintain self control), director responsibilities, nutrition and food service, and the safety of the building.
Moody said the day care was once cited because the bottom of a swimming pool on the property was not visible.
One parent said he was concerned about the lack of notification about the closure because he and his wife were only left a voicemail.
Jerry Materne expected the daycare bus would pick up his 5-year-old daughter after school on Tuesday as usual, but that didn't happen.
Instead, his daughter's school called his wife to notify her that her girl needed to be picked up.
Materne and his wife worked quickly on Wednesday to get registered at another nearby daycare facility.
According to The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services protocol, the Tiny Treasures Academy's owners can seek an injunction on the license revocation from a district court, or request a review within 15 days.
Moody said if nothing is done within 45 days the revocation of the childcare license is final.

It has been passed many years since the last time I played to Wolfenstein 3D. Is there a visual trick to detect secret area or should I try to press open on all walls?
Well there are secret rooms and secret levels...
Secret Rooms
Although there are no strict guidelines to where a secret room might be, there are subtle hints that might help you find them. It helps to map out the level since the layout of the levels are accurate (no magical warped spaces), gaps between areas could hint at secret rooms.
As for secret room markers, first try the obvious places on the walls (e.g. Hitler paintings, Nazi banners, and other wall decorations).
Some secret panels seem to be in the corners of a room, while others can be found in the middle(point) of a wall (usually in a room).
Also, be on the look out objects placed against walls between sets of twos (such as plants or barrels).
Some secret panels can also be found by walking in a straight line from (either side) a object (such as an overhead light), or in narrow alcoves.
Take note that certain secret rooms have secret rooms within themselves(!!) and sometimes the movable panels of secret rooms can block off access to other secret rooms (this why you sometimes don't a get 100% secrets even though you've searched every nook and cranny).
Secret Levels
In every Episode, there is a secret (10th) level you can access by taking a secret elevator. There are pretty hard to find if you don't have a map to help you. It is usually accessible though a series of secret doors/panels within the secret rooms and usually located in the last room of that level (the room with the regular elevator).
Here is a list of what levels the secrets levels are on by Episode.
Here is a list of all the secrets in the PC version.
Also everything you would typically want to know about Wolfenstein 3D.
No, there isn't.
I spent hours in 1992 staring at walls and listening to BJ going "uff ... uff ... uff" as a tapped the 'open' key. Now you can, too!
There is no visual trick to detect secret doors. The only way to find them is to try and "open" the wall as if it was a door. Sometimes the secret door is in some place which is stands out a bit (e.g. a wall painting, an alcove, the center of a wall etc.) but many times there's simply no indication at all.
The best way to find a secret door is to run diagonally into the wall - so that you stay touching the wall but constantly moving - and click the open key repeatedly.
However, keep in mind that:
Usually they will not be unmarked along a flat wall, but they could be in a alcove (marked or unmarked) or be represented by a painting (or if I remeber right, maybe a suit of armor) on a flat wall.

£5 a week? Christ..Let's hope he makes the grade
Not very good but I checked the time and both statemates were released 7:00pm. It made me laugh.

Joshua Newport... I got the same thing in my game
Is it actually him, or his Dad?
Sorry it's off topic, but where did you get that pack for the badges and logos?
D'oh! I knew I should've picked a team
scoreline not bad for the first game of the season i suppose... and no, i wasnt managing either of them teams, just was intrigued when i saw the result!
Haha, what a game it was. I made a flying start and went ahead 3-0 by 32nd minute...
Then...BAM, SIX goals in 25 minutes from Roma...ugh, 3-6 behind(Teves, whom I really, REALLY wanted to transfer scores 2 -_-).
Then I score 3 more goals in 18 minutes and equalize it. My goalie (Frey) gets an 8
When one Stephen Grant just isn't enough...
Not a data issue. One of them had just signed for the club!
They were both from the Rep of Ireland too, lol.

Anyway, here are some of mine:
Since I noticed people liked dirty words, here are some I found:
Unlucky name =).
Same can be said about this bloke.
I am seeing a pattern now.
Ah yes, I can already see the messages: "leave [name] alone!"
Bah, only 4 per post!
It's probably because you are playing as newcastle :P
I want to be annoyed at that... but it's so true!
I've actually got another league game against Arsenal just off the screen, the original must have been re-arranged so many times it's now right at the end of the season.
Edit: I also got beat off Arsenal every time.
1st post so go easy
Man utd are rubish and look how good my team is
how the hell did wes brown get an 8
well its obvious why that happened you took off van der sar and put patrice evra in goals!

Cant see that screeny very well matey
I know it's lower league, so the goals come much more freely, but I signed this guy (at the age of only 19) on loan and this was his first game for the club:
He went on to win Player of the Season in the Conf South that season, with 46 goals in 31 games, and scored an additional 19 goals in 10 cup matches. In the quarter-final of the Setanta Shield, he didn't play and I was knocked out In that season, in 50 appearances he scored a mind-boggling 10 hattricks, if you include double-hattricks as two...in fact, he got another double hattrick later in the season, too. I draw your attention, if you hadn't noticed it already, to the fact that his first five goals on his debut were scored in the space of ten minutes...he was incredible, I virtually couldn't stop laughing that season, as I saw only six defeats in 52 games, and Hitchin accumulated 176 goals in all competitions (163 under my reign, I took over after 9 competitive games).
Check out the top two media headlines, about the player I want - the headlines read amusingly!
I've also seen a manager issuing a "hands of Kock warning" LOL

The predictor predicts a penalty shootout, that means Coton Sport winning 6-0....
The Golden Arrows must be livid with the refereeing in this game....
Blimey, how old must Levy be now?!
^he must exercise alot.
hey,where did you get that pack for the badges and logos?
No screenshot, but I've just noticed a Nigerian regen on my game called Constance Tuesday! Thought that was pretty funny.
Hence, "Balde Fanni" as our defensive pairing was the punchline to many a joke...
AI vs AI. Swindon are still down in the lower leagues.
roseboy64 i certainly know who i wouldnt have taking my penalties in the next game
It was Martin Palermo
In yellow : "One can estimate that once the federation of Ivory Coast will have evacuated (?) the usuals candidatures of managers having made their weapons on Football Manager, it will be able to study the nomination of somebody having an experience which exceed the framework of a screen".
Don't sure the translation is correct, but I think you understand the thing... I couldn't play the game for about 10 minutes, ROTF !!!
(PS : The team "La Courneuve" is a created team (The real one is in the 11th french division... :o) Yes, 11th !)).
Buffon certainly had an interesting game.
Without being accused of being rasist. I noticed this, which kinda sound like this guy is anti english.
Name: German
Nationality: Argentinia
Based: Scotland
Please dont take this as a rasist thing. I know im Scottish and a RAngers fan and manager in this save but i only signed him because i needed a ST/LM
chuckles at the Robinho post
One penalty kick, TWO penalty misses...
