GXT grid column headers are not displayed for hidden columns once they are unhidden
I have a grid in GXT with few hidden columns. When I un-hide these hidden columns, the data is displayed in the grid bit, the column headers are not displayed. This is happening in all browsers. Please refer the below screenshot. I am trying to unhide Group ID and Asset ID columns, data group_ and asset_ is displayed in the grid but, in headers column it is not displayed. Can someone help me with this?
24 May 2012 1:20 AM #2
Can you please provide a testcase for this implementing EntryPoint? Which version of GXT are you using?
I cannot reproduce this in neither in GXT 2 nor in GXT 3.
Have you verified that there is no exception, for example in some event handlers?
24 May 2012 2:03 AM #3
Strange part is in dev mode it is working fine. Even if I provide you the entry point example then it will be of no use. I am facing this issue when the ear is deployed on any of the servers.
I don't see any errors in firebug. I am using GXT 2.
24 May 2012 2:33 AM #4
An EntryPoint example is still of use. We could compile it and still run it in production.
27 May 2012 9:57 PM #5
Please find entry point example attached. I have removed jar files, please add required jars to the project. We can see this issue by running this example in dev mode.

Complete Madness In College Hoops
College basketball's big fish have more to worry about than just the sharks this season: The minnows are feasting.
Teams ranked in the Associated Press top five have lost 19 games to unranked opponents, the most since 2006-07 when 20 top-five teams lost to unranked teams, according to Stats LLC.
Conference leaders seem especially vulnerable to bottom-feeding brethren. Two teams in last place in their conference snagged their only league victories against top-5 teams: Texas Christian beat No. 5 Kansas on Feb. 6 and Penn State beat fourth-ranked Michigan on Wednesday. In addition, South Florida picked up its only conference win against current Big East leader Georgetown on Jan. 19. The Hoyas, unranked at the time, are now ranked seventh.
No. 3 Duke (pictured), meanwhile, lost to unranked Virginia on Thursday night, continuing a turbulent season at the top. There have been 13 teams ranked in the top five this year, the most since 2003-04 (18 teams).
Four teams—Indiana, Duke, Louisville and Michigan—have reached the No. 1 spot, the most since 2009-10. But outside the top five, the waters smooth out. There have been 23 teams ranked in the top 10 this year—the same as last season.

TORONTO -The city unit of the Salvation Army's annual kettle drive has been declared a success by organizers, as the unit raised more funds than last year's drive.
The drive will enable the unit to help many families this year, according to Don Redmond, kettle drive coordinator.
"It's not a final figure," said Redmond. "Right now we're at $12,032.
"That's the amount right now," he continued. "One of those who donate annually saves up all their loose change during the year and donates it to us at the end of the year. We know there's going to be one more deposit made. It's over last year's number."
Bell ringers/volunteers were stationed at Riesbeck's grocery store and at both Kwik King grocery stores in the Gem City from the later part of November through Christmas week. Several churches and organizations donated their time, including volunteers from the North River Avenue Christian Church; Toronto Nazarene Church; Riverview United Methodist Church; Toronto Masons and Eastern Star; Toronto First Methodist Church; Toronto First Baptist Church; Toronto First Presbyterian Church; and St. Joseph and St. Francis Catholic churches. Members of the Toronto High School Honor Society also participated, said Redmond.
Unit officials have said November was one of the busiest months ever, and Redmond said he was concerned about this year's kettle drive because of the increasing need and not as many volunteers ringing bells this season.
"Normally I have 12 organizations that take a day (to ring bells)," he said. "This year I only had 10. I was filling in the other days with (solo) volunteers."
Redmond said he left the city on a brief trip and was only expecting to raise about $9,000 this year. He added a surprise was waiting for him when he returned.
"Amazing," said Redmond, adding the drive exceeded his expectations. "We are over what we did last year, which was $11,558. I say the same thing about the people of Toronto every year. To me, it's a miracle. It really is."
Redmond also thanked Jefferson County Cable Co., which he said raised a substantial amount this year. He also expressed his appreciation for all bell ringers and those who donated.
"I don't know what to say," said Redmond. "I'm at a loss for words. People in Toronto are just awesome, awesome people."
To reach the city unit of the salvation Army, call (740) 537-4737.

I have a sandboxed solution in which I need to pass data from javascript to server side. Can anyone suggest me with help links or any ideas?
If you really want then the best way is probably have a web part in the sandboxed code add a number or fields inside a div which is hidden using css and the let javascript fill out these fields and make a submit.
But why not use Client Side Object model and do everything in JavaScript?
You can take a HiddenField in Visual WebPart and inside Javascript you can access it like:
And you can access it on server side like: hiddenFieldID.Value
But remember, javascript should be in the Visual WebPart as well.. If you want to do this from page and not server side, then you can take HTML input control and access it through its id.. Let me know if you stuck somewhere!
I hope this helps...

General speaking (err... writing) all you need to do is aim to HTML 5 and Safari Specific CSS3 rules, to create gradients, shadows, etc ...
Add some Apple Devices Specific tags like
remember that you can use a css in horizontal mode and other in vertical mode
if you, by the way, want to create a native alike visual, I recommend that you see JQtouch and Sencha
keep in mind that some events do not exist in a Touch Device, like "click" (though this majority of the times just work ok), "mousehover", etc ... JQTouch and Sencha are already configured to give you a "tap" event and mouch more events Apple Devices specific.
There is a great online tool for doing iPad targeted web design:
Gives you a full size iPad/Safari emulator online.
I highly recommend having an actual device to test your site on as you develop.
Check out this article; It's about a nice technique for liquid layouts that will make your site look great on a iPad, 30" monitor and even your iPhone ;) http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/
The iPad primarily uses the browser Safari - or alteast its own version, so making sure it works on there is a good starting point, if you don't have a device to test it on then check the normal safari first. From here you should be able a to find a simulator.
Other mobile browsers can be downloaded as apps, I know opera has hits own app for browsing, also firefox just realised there first version although it only on Nokia at the moment.
Because the Safari browser on the iPad is the most advanced browser in general distribution, you can utilize all of the latest CSS3 and HTML5 techniques without having to hack in support for older non-standards compliant browsers.

Where Aren't They Now? 11 Overlooked Deaths of 2011
Sure, when you're an Amy Winehouse, a Steve Jobs or an Osama bin Laden, the world is going to grind to a halt and have a tweetgasm at the news of your passing. But when you're a "guy who played that one kid on Barney Miller," good luck getting anyone to notice that you kicked the bucket.
So each year Cracked takes time to remember the slightly less famous people who maybe didn't revolutionize the PC and music industries, but who still left an interesting little mark on the culture. These are the most overlooked deaths of 2011.
#11. Feb. 4 -- One Fast Pussycat
Tura Satana, buxom B-movie actress; lifelong badass.
The Legacy:
Via Wikipedia
No, wait, there's more!
After reading Tura Satana's biography, we got the sneaking suspicion that Quentin Tarantino read it, too ... and based every single one of his movies off it. Assuming Satana's version of her life is true, and who are we to say it's not, someone has really missed the boat in not turning her story into a gritty graphic novel.
Here's the quick version: When Tura Satana, daughter of a Japanese/Filipino silent movie actor dad and Cheyenne/Scots-Irish circus performer mom, was a kid, she developed early boob-wise. Way early. And she was teased, harassed and eventually assaulted because of her body. Which was why she learned aikido and karate and tracked down each of her assailants to exact her beautiful revenge. We told you she was a Tarantino movie come to life.
Via Comicvine.com
"Katanas are for wusses."
After a turn as a child bride, then the leader of a girl gang, Satana took up exotic dancing and nudie posing. She eventually landed in the uber-violent Faster, Pussycat! Kill, Kill! and the wet dreams of bad boys everywhere. And as if her martial arts training, humongous chest and titular role in one of the most exploitative movies of the '60s wasn't enough to cement a spectacular life, Satana said she not only dated Elvis Presley, but turned down his marriage proposal. And she went on to become a nurse and a police dispatcher later, but only after getting shot by an ex-lover.
Via Bryininberlin.blogspot.com
So the movie was actually the boring part of her life.
Why haven't we seen a biopic yet?
#10. March 19 -- Knut the Polar Bear
Knut: German polar bear superstar, cutie pie.
Drowning? No one is exactly sure. The way of the polar bear is mysterious.
The Legacy:
Knut (rhymes with "ka-kute") was a world-famous polar bear, raised in captivity at the Berlin Zoo. The Germans went "knuts" for Knut, in that special, fanatical way that only Germans can. Part of Knut's appeal was his story -- his mother rejected him, his caretaker fawned over him like a mother hen/crazy person and, good lord, just look at the little thing:
It was no wonder Knut spawned a mass media phenomenon known as "Knutmania" -- toys, books, DVDs, the whole shebang. He was even solely responsible for a 5 million Euro increase in the zoo's profits. Hey, you know what they say about German zoos, don't you? That they're not in the Arctic Circle. Not even close. Which is one reason why animal activists were not happy with Knut's captivity. He was constantly surrounded by people (over 600 watched him have a seizure before he fell into the pool and died), and he was enclosed with not one, not two, but three aggressive lady bears who chased, bit and bullied him for fun.
And since Knut died about 20 years earlier than most polar bears, the activists are probably right for once. Here's something they're also right about: Having Knut stuffed and mounted for display at the Berlin Museum is just about as humiliating as ending your life as bully fodder for lady polar bears.
Poor Knut.
Pour a frozen 40 of Coke out for our homie.
#9. April 12 -- The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
Pierre Jean "Buster" Martin, Britain's oldest man; possibly greatest liar.
Old age; lie attack.
The Legacy:
Does this look like a 104-year-old man?
Via Thisislondon.co.uk
And wait, that's not heroin!
No? He said he was. Buster Martin said a lot of things. Like that he got his nickname "Buster" from hitting a priest on the nose at age 3, and that he fought off a gang of muggers at age 100, and that he was the oldest British man to ever complete a marathon. And in case you're doing a little background research for a thesis or something, none of those claims could be independently verified. Not even the stuff about his age or his marital status or the existence of his supposed 17 children, let alone whether he really fought off muggers or just fell down drunk and wanted some attention.
But that's why we loved him. For all we know, Buster didn't die at all. He just lied his way into Buckingham Palace and is posing as a shaggy Prince Philip as we speak.
Gah! No, stop, we take it back!
#8. April 20 -- The Inventor of Passionless Acting
Via Wikipedia
Hubert Schlafly, co-inventor of the teleprompter.
Being 91.
The Legacy:
The next time a newscaster seems to be staring right at you with her cold, dead eyes flicking subtly from left to right, thank Hubert Schlafly, because he co-invented what she's reading off of. The device was originally called the TelePrompTer. ("The second T was capitalized for TERRIFIC!")
Via Aolnews.com
"I stole these badboys. Suck it. You suck my Emmys."
In the late 1940s, a Broadway actor, Fred Barton, complained that he couldn't remember his lines. Schlafly was working as director of television research at Fox, and the task to "fix Barton's stupidity'' fell on him. The first teleprompter looked like something out of The Flintstones: Schlafly installed a motorized scroll of paper inside half a suitcase. Actors' lines were printed on the paper in half-inch letters, and the suitcase was set up next to studio cameras. The scrolling speed was controlled manually by a stagehand.
And when you think about it, the hilariously named Schlafly probably had the biggest influence out of anyone else on this list. Because his invention came even before television was a household thing, so everyone who came after benefited from it; talk show hosts, soap opera actors, Saturday Night Live times infinity. Politics would look completely different without it. So ... uh ... thanks?

"Because fuck all of you. That's why."
#7. May 3 -- Superman's Boss
Jackie Cooper; Little Rascal; youngest Academy Award nominee.
Natural causes; aged 88; Lex Luthor?
"Please. I died because I just hadn't tried it yet."
The Legacy:
In 1931, 9-year-old Jackie Cooper became the youngest person ever nominated for an Academy Award. No one was all that impressed, since the Academy Awards were only a few days old and other 9-year-olds were hopping trains and sharecropping cotton to feed their families, but then Cooper went and held the record for almost 50 years. It took that shaggy-headed kid from Kramer vs. Kramer to break the Cooper record, and even that kid only went on to claim the part of Molly Ringwald's fat little brother in Sixteen Candles, so we're thinking that nomination was a fluke. Couple Cooper's early success with the fact that he got to boss the best version of Superman around as Perry White of the Daily Planet and you've got yourself a bona fide American hero.
"You have three seconds to remove your hand before everyone starts calling you 'Lefty'."
Now, here's a fun story about Cooper. His autobiography was called Please Don't Shoot My Dog, not because he wanted to keep his dog off camera, but because that Oscar-nominated performance was rendered after his director/uncle threatened to SHOOT HIS REAL LIFE DOG if he didn't cry on camera. And that, kids, is how you get an Academy Award nomination.
#6. June 6 -- Outlaw Sheep
Shrek, the Hippie Sheep.
Put down after advice of a veterinary surgeon, aka "The Man."
The Legacy:
Via Omgheart.com
Don't pretend you don't want to squeeze that 'til it baahs.
As any shepherd can tell you, one of the perils of owning sheep is crippling loneliness and presumed sexual frustration. Another is shearing them every year, not just for their precious, beautiful wool, but for their own comfort. It's not like they can stop in at the barbershop themselves, no matter what you've heard otherwise, and wool is heavy and carries filth.
So shearing sheep is a necessity of life. But like some kind of weird scissor-phobic wool hippie, Shrek the New Zealand sheep wasn't playing by no sheep shearer's rules, man. When shearing time came around, he hid in caves, every year, for six years. When the wool cutter finally caught up with him, this was what he looked like:
Via Omgheart.com
If "fluff" could make a sound, Shrek would be deafening.
Can you even?
Sixty pounds of wool. That's how much weight the poor thing was carrying around before he was found in 2004. It's like carrying around a child for warmth, all the time.
So that was how Shrek got famous, but not how he died. He died when his vet recommended the 16-year-old firebrand be put down, the sheep who successfully fought the system for longer than most of us will ever manage.

This is not a homework question so please be kind not to remove it right away. I am working on some research but have to justify the following argument: Assume $S_t$ is a continuous stochastic process, don't want to make an assumption about distribution, think about something like a smooth function of Brownian motion. I define another process $$Y_t=\frac{1}{t} \int_0^t S_u du$$ Now I am interested in the limit of $Y_t$ as $t$ approaches zero. I would like to know in what sense the argument would hold, the guess is that the limit is $S(0)$. Please suggest a solution or the way to approach this problem.
You can prove it reasoning $\omega$ by $\omega$. I mean, if you are working in a probability space $\Omega$, the continuous path $(S_t)_{t\geqslant 0}$ depends on $\omega\in \Omega$. But for all $\omega$, $t\mapsto S_t(\omega)$ is continuous, so the following convergence holds : $$ Y_t(\omega) \rightarrow S_0(\omega) $$
It is enough to conclude that $Y_t$ converges almost surely to $S_0$ as $t$ goes to zero.

Research Roundup: 22q11.2 Is Hotspot for Schizophrenia Research
December 18, 2013. Over 20 years ago, several genetics groups simultaneously linked a region of chromosome 22, containing about 45 genes, to schizophrenia. This evidence was bolstered by the fact that people with deletions of the region, who often have a developmental disorder called velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), are more likely to develop schizophrenia (Pulver et al., 1994), and the finding that several patients with schizophrenia had 22q11.2 deletions (Karayiorgou et al., 1995).
Since then, researchers have been working out how this rare deletion elevates risk for schizophrenia. Even as we find other deletions or duplications elsewhere in the genome associated with schizophrenia, 22q11.2 deletions remain the standard bearer, Anne Bassett of the University of Toronto, Canada, told SRF. Its the only proven molecular genetic subtype of schizophrenia.
In this research roundup, Schizophrenia Research Forum reviews some of the latest findings in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome research, including insights from across the lifespan in people with the deletion, as well as from the affected brain circuits in mouse models.
A big clue
People missing all or much of a 3 Mb stretch on one strand of DNA in the region of 22q11.2 develop a variable syndrome, including heart defects, facial abnormalities, and cognitive impairments, which sometimes convene to create the classic VCFS. But up to one-quarter also go on to develop schizophrenia, perhaps accounting for up to 1 percent of all schizophrenia cases.
Bassett has followed patients with the deletion for over 20 years, with an interest in understanding how the full spectrum of phenotypes develops. As a rule, people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) vary in terms of which features they have, and their severity. But the schizophrenia observed in some of these patients is the real thing, Bassett says: They have negative symptoms, they have positive symptoms, they have disorganized thoughtthe whole DSM symptom list is in these people.
Their intelligence quotients (IQs) are lower on average than those measured for people with schizophrenia, however, but most people with 22q11.2DS do not meet the criterion for intellectual disability. This means they constitute a naturally occurring human model for common variety schizophrenia, Bassett argues. More recently, a connection to schizophrenia has been bolstered by the report that duplications of the 22q11.2 region protect from schizophrenia (see SRF related news story).
It is so gratifying that people have finally recognized how much the rare can inform the common, Bassett says.
Still, sifting through the different genes in the region to find the key instigators of schizophrenia remains a formidable task. Among the early, obvious candidates were the genes for catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), involved in dopamine metabolism, and proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), which helps regulate glutamate levels (see SRF related news story). More recently, mouse models carrying a similar deletion have highlighted a possible role for microRNAs, which regulate gene expression. Within the 22q11.2 region lies the gene DGCR8, which prepares microRNAs for action. The loss of DGCR8 (see SRF related news story), and more recently, of a specific microRNA-185 in the region (see SRF related news story), have been linked to schizophrenia-like signs in mice.
These microRNAs might normally help the brain compensate for mutations elsewhere in the genome, either in the intact 22q11.2 region on the counterpart chromosome or beyond. When microRNA buffering capacity is reduced through a 22q11.2 deletion, then, this might unmask the effects of these other mutations and explain the variable effects of 22q11.2 deletions (Brzustowicz and Bassett, 2012). An international consortium has just been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to sequence the entire genomes of people with 22q11.2 deletions to find genetic factors that influence whether someone develops schizophrenia, Bassett said.
Across the lifespan
Most 22q11.2 deletions begin as mistakes during meiosis, when chromosomes misalign prior to exchanging bits of DNA. This means egg or sperm cells carry the deletion, whereas the parents themselves do not. A majority of 22q11.2 deletions stem from mothers, according to a study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics in March. Bernice Morrow of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York, teamed up with other researchers around the world to survey a large enough sample of people with 22q11.2 deletions and their parents. First author Maria Delio and colleagues reported that 57 percent of subjects with 22q11.2 deletions acquired them from their mothers egg, whereas 43 percent were from sperm, which suggests that the 22q11.2 region is more vulnerable to meiotic mishaps in females than in males.
Psychiatric problems emerge early in many children with 22q11.2 deletions, but these do not result from their cognitive impairments, according to a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry from Marianne van den Bree of Cardiff University, Wales, United Kingdom, and colleagues. Assessing 80 children with 22q11.2 deletions, first author Maria Niarchou reported that 54 percent qualified for a psychiatric disorder, including anxiety disorders and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, compared to only 10 percent of their siblings. Though 22q11.2DS subjects also had lower IQ scores than their siblings, their IQ did not explain the risk for these psychiatric disorders. This bolsters the idea that childhood psychiatric disorders are directly related to the deletion, rather than being non-specific fallout of cognitive impairments.
As if the risk for psychiatric disorders in childhood and early adulthood wasnt enough, a study published in JAMA Neurology in November from Bassett and colleagues reported an increased risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) later in life. First author Nancy Butcher and colleagues found that adults with 22q11.2 deletions more frequently developed PD than expected, with 70 times the number seen in the general population. Furthermore, they developed PD before 50 years of age, which points to a new, rare form of early-onset PD. Postmortem brain samples confirmed that this was true PD, with loss of dopamine-containing substantia nigra neurons and other signs of neurodegeneration. Why 22q11.2 deletions would increase risk for a disorder associated with too much dopamine (schizophrenia) and one associated with too little dopamine (PD) is a sweet mystery, Bassett says, and suggests that the conception of schizophrenia as primarily a disorder of dopamine is incomplete.
Early signs of psychosis
Following the development of children with 22q11.2 deletions could divulge early predictors of psychosis, and three studies report comparisons of features in the same people across two time points. One study from Stephan Eliez and colleagues at the University of Geneva School of Medicine, Switzerland, points to anxiety: As reported in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, first author Doron Gothelf and colleagues found that, of 10 people with 22q11.2DS who developed psychosis, nine had an anxiety disorder as children. Another study from the same group, published in European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, found that low-grade psychotic symptoms preceded the onset of full-blown psychosis in people with 22q11.2 deletions, similar to the prodrome described for schizophrenia in general. First author Maude Schneider and colleagues did not find concomitant changes in cognition: Though those who developed psychosis had lower IQs to begin with, the slope of the change in IQ over time did not differ from those who did not develop psychosis. They suggest low IQ as a marker for increased risk for psychosis.
A third study, published in Research in Developmental Disabilities, also found that adolescents with 22q11.2 deletions displayed evidence of the schizophrenia prodromemild psychotic symptoms not reaching a diagnostic level. Led by Vandana Shashi at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, the study found that these subjects did not show the expected gains in attention and general function as they matured. First author Stephen Hooper and colleagues also noted that lower IQ at baseline was associated with the development of schizophrenia 3.5 years later.
As for genetic factors that might tilt a person with a 22q11.2 deletion toward psychosis, the COMT gene has been a go-to candidate. Lying within the 22q11.2 region, COMT encodes an enzyme that degrades dopamine and other monoamines. In people with a 22q11.2 deletion, any consequences of any variant in the remaining, intact COMT may be unmasked. Though the well-known Val158Met variant has not been consistently linked to schizophrenia in subjects with 22q11.2DS, a study in Biological Psychiatry suggests other COMT variants may influence COMT function and the development of psychosis. Led by Daniel Weinberger of the Lieber Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, the study analyzed blood cells from 53 people with 22q11.2 deletions. First authors Doron Gothelf and Amanda Law reported that combinations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could modulate the effect of Val158Met on COMT expression and activity. Moreover, one SNP in an untranslated region of COMT was associated on its own with low COMT activity and occurred more frequently in those who developed psychosis than in those who did not.
In the brain
As a group, people with 22q11.2 deletions display deficits in sensorimotor gating and mismatch negativity (MMN), both neurophysiological signs associated with schizophrenia. According to a study in the Journal of Psychiatric Research led by Doron Gothelf at Tel Aviv University, Israel, these measures are modulated by the Val158Met variant in COMT, as well as by SNPs in PRODH, a modulator of glutamatergic and dopaminergic neural transmission. First author Omer Zarchi also found that the degree of the deficit in MMN correlated with schizophrenia-like symptoms and measures of executive function; however, these measures did not differ between psychotic and non-psychotic people with 22q11.2 deletions, suggesting that MMN deficits flag general risk for psychosis.
Two neuroimaging studies led by Stephan Eliez of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, also revealed schizophrenia-like patterns of connectivity in people with 22q11.2 deletions. As reported in PLoS One, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) used to characterize the trajectories of white matter bundles throughout the brain found sparser connections in 30 people with 22q11.2 deletions compared to 30 controls. First author Marie-Christine Ottet and colleagues reported that this reduction was pronounced in connections linking the frontal and temporal cortices, as well as those within and between limbic areas, and suggests that the state of frontotemporal connections may serve as a biomarker for vulnerability to psychosis. The second study, also from Ottet, Eliez, and colleagues, explored the network of brain connections in 46 people with 22q11.2 deletions who also had hallucinations, and so may be at even higher risk of developing schizophrenia than 22q11.2DS subjects without hallucinations. In general, connections in the brain are organized like airplane flight routes, with many connections stopping through key hub regions, and in schizophrenia, the brain has been reported to contain fewer hubs with fewer connections (see SRF related news story). Writing in Frontiers of Human Neuroscience, first author Ottet reports a similarly disrupted network in the 22q11.2DS population, with fewer connections between hubs, suggesting that this fragmented network reflects a predisposition for schizophrenia.
Mouse models
Researchers have modeled the 22q11.2 deletion in mice by knocking out the equivalent region, which resides on mouse chromosome 16. Several models exist that show a variety of schizophrenia-related phenotypes ranging from disruptions of brain development to deficits in sensory gating. The advent of small animal brain imaging will supplement the comparisons between mice and humans (see SRF related news story). In a study published in Molecular Psychiatry, Joseph Gogos and Maria Karayiorgou teamed up with researchers in Toronto to scan their mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, called Df(16)A+/-, which lacks 27 genes. Using a 7 Tesla scanner, first authors Jacob Ellegood and Sander Markx report 13 different regions that had significantly smaller or larger volumes than wild-type mice, and several of these overlapped with changes observed in humans with 22q11.2 deletions, including the frontal lobe, the striatum, the third ventricle, and the cerebellum.
Another study of this mouse model suggests that the brains ability to change may be compromised by multiple factors within 22q11.2 deletions. Published in the Journal of Neuroscience in September, the study, led again by Gogos and Karayiorgou, evaluated synapses in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a region key for cognition. First author Karine Fénelon and colleagues found impaired short- and long-term plasticity in mPFC synapses, meaning that the synapses did not adequately scale their responses up or down according to input. The impaired short-term plasticity, as well as working memory, could be blamed on the loss of DGCR8, as similar deficits are seen in mice lacking that single gene; however, the long-term plasticity deficits and accompanying changes to dendritic spine shapes suggests other genetic culprits in the region, which may involve miRNA processing.
Finally, however, a study led by Jennifer Linden at University College London, United Kingdom, sounds a note of caution in evaluating mouse models of 22q11.2 deletions or other large genetic hits. Published in PLoS One, the study reports that the Df1/+ mouse model, which lacks 18 genes in the human 22q11.2 region, showed hearing loss arising from chronic ear infections. First author Jennifer Fuchs and colleagues found that the hearing loss often occurred in onenot bothears and mimics a susceptibility to ear infections found in humans with 22q11.2 deletions. The results, however, suggest that previous reports of impaired sensorimotor gating in 22q11.2 deletion mouse models may stem from deficits in hearing rather than problems with the interface between sensory processing and motor responses.Michele Solis.

To the editor:
The voters spoke again about the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School, and I guess we don't need to update the equipment and facilities at this school so these kids can get a head start on seeking employment after they finish school.
I attended this school 30 years ago, and the time I spent there has helped me my entire working life. Not all the young adults who attend high school are going to college. So they choose attend this school and learn a trade that will help them get a head start on seeking employment after school. With that being said, they need the latest technology to give them skills that employers seek.
As a parent who has a young man attending this school something needs to be done to help this school get the funding it deserves.
I think the parents of the young adults attending this school need to come together and start something that can help this school do what it was built to do. This school is a good thing for Jefferson County - let's not turn our backs on these young adults who are trying to do the right thing.

What other well known processes or approaches for creating an user experience (such as an app or website) exist except the user centered design approach and what are their strengths and weaknesses?
If you looking for different processes rather than methods, there are
Four of them did I examine for innovation capabilites in a past thread (UCD and innovation):
Though I'm not sure this question fits in the rules of the FAQ...
Dan Saffer's "Designing for Interaction" lists 4 techniques:
Each technique has its pros and cons. A quick search should give you descriptions of each term.
I'e always liked this overview of design decision styles by Jared Spool: http://www.uie.com/articles/five_design_decision_styles/
He lists: 1. unintended design 2. self design 3. genius design 4. activity-focussed design 5. user-focussed design
The last one is described as "This design style is the high-end approach and is necessary if the team is looking to create an excellent experience overall. To do that, the team will use user-focused techniques, such as field research and robust persona creation, ensuring the team understands the contextual nature of the users' experience." That, to me, is user-centered design.
The following are the different design methods:
And yes! UCD and Goal directed design(UCD) are different. The reason for my deduction of considering the both designs as different is purely based on the fact the GDD is now evolving in a complete different direction. Also, There's no single opinion on this, as visible from the links. Please find the link here: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1621997 http://jonkarpoff.com/gdd-goal-driven-design/
There's also the Steve Jobs Approach:
Which is basically: If you want a big design breakthrough, don't ask people - just do it.
We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That's what we get paid to do. "So you can't go out and ask people, you know, what the next big [thing.] There's a great quote by Henry Ford, right? He said, 'If I'd have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me "A faster horse." '

Last Friday's Wine update to 1.3.25 broke sound, how do I go back to the previous version of Wine?
There are instructions here, on WineHQ. You need to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version. According to the FAQ, this won't uninstall your apps.
It's more likely to be a problem with your configuration or a sound driver, though. You should open up the Wine configuration to be sure.
If the problem is not fixed when you use an older version of Wine, try 1) changing your sound driver to each individual sound driver and no other, then 2) removing your .wine directory and reinstalling your apps.
Here you can get older versions of Wine for Ubuntu(in .deb format): http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/binary/
I see Kevin already got his earlier version but others might come to get answers so I'll post what worked for me :) This doesn't help you to revert to an earlier version of Wine, but it might enable sound in the current version. I also had no sound in wine after updating. On the audio tab of winecfg the audio test failed. I am using wine 1.3.28
The sound driver may not be set correctly in wines registry. You can set it to alsa by
From the terminal use
Navigate to
Open the Audio key and type
I hope this helps some!

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the weekly Cabinet meeting in Rawdhat Khuraim today. King Abdullah opened the session by briefing the Cabinet on his recent contacts and consultations with world leaders and their envoys.
Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz in turn briefed the Cabinet on the 25th Arab Interior Ministers Council held recently in Tunisia. Prince Nayef stressed the importance of implementing the Council's recommendations, including an Arab strategy for security, civil protection, counter-narcotics, and counterterrorism, including the establishment of an international counterterrorism center as proposed by King Abdullah in 2005.
On international issues, the Cabinet again condemned Israel for its ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people as well as its construction of new settlements in East Jerusalem, a policy that undermines the peace process. The Cabinet also denounced Israel's military escalation and the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza's Bureij refugee camp. It called on the UN, the US and the international community as a whole to stop Israel's aggression and move the peace process forward.
The Cabinet reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's support for international agreements to which it is a signatory, in particular accords to reduce climate change. The Cabinet also welcomed Saudi Arabia's pledge to donate $300 million for a center devoted to the energy, environment and climate change research.
A number of decisions were issued, including Saudi Arabia's accession to the Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, their Parts and Components and Ammunition, part of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. It also approved the negotiation of an air transport agreement with Kuwait as well as government appointments.

Is there any tool or plugin for QGIS/GRASS to make an automatic land cover classification from satellite imagery --- based on CLC nomenclature for example? Of course, it will not be 100% sure but it would be a first step of the classification process.
I have seen a similar tool expressed into a pdf file on the QGIS blog, but it seems the plugin has not been implemented (at least, not listed into the plugin repository).
I have also the existence of the Molusce plugin. I haven't tested it yet but the approach seems to be based on land use changes.

JavaOne Latin America was last week and there were lots of videos and podcasts recorded there. Here are some of the highlights (add your favorites in the comments, please):
The JavaOne Community Keynote
The JavaOne Community Keynote was informative and funny. (Thanks to Loiane Groner for taping it!) The discussion ranged from the top 5 developments in Java in 2012, to women in technology, to how to brew coffee with Java (done on stage), to the announcement of jDuchessBR for Brazilian women using Java, to what developers do when they aren't coding. (in Brazilian Portuguese). Don't miss the video used to conclude the keynote, an improvement of the "Code Hard" video entitled "The Real Java Developers."
OTN Interviews
I interviewed Java Experts, including Fabiane Nardon (Java EE), Loiane Groner (Java and Javascript), Jim Weaver (JavaFX) and Geertjan Weilenga (NetBeans). Yara Senger also interviewed her 80 year-old grandmother about her use of Java as a physicist. Those videos are now on Youtube/Java (look under Recent Activity). Another nice video from the OTN Lounge is this short discussion on why and how Juliano Viana works on Java EE 6 with LogicStyle's customers and how he uses GlassFish.
Java Spotlight Podcasts
The Java Spotlight Podcast Episode 60: Live from Java One Latin America includes an interview with Yara and Vinicius Senger on Global Code's 10th Anniversary, and with Mike Lehmann, Oracle senior director of product management, providing insight on the Weblogic 12c release. If you like your podcasts deeply technical, listen to this Java Spotlight Podcast with Alan Bateman on NIO2 APIs in JDK 7. There's nothing like the engineer working on a project to get into the technical details.
Thanks to all the developers in Latin America that made JavaOne Latin America such a success!

I was on the fence about buying this shirt because although the design is awesome I've been spending too much money on woot... But then I saw where the designer was from and that sealed deal. In for one!
Felicidades Omar, es la primera vez que veo un Boriqua que gane aqui en woot. Y deveras te lo mereces el diseño esta brutal!
omarfeliciano wrote:Wow, this is crazy! Thanks everyone that voted and made this a reality. This is my first "real" print and I couldn't be happier! Now I know what other amazing artists here at Woot feel every time they see a design of theirs getting printed. Thanks guys for the support. I'll keep them coming
The design is a watercolor representation of the four "Elements of Life", water, fire, air and earth.
The black strokes aren't any form of text, they are a representation of Aether, "the material that fills the universe above the terrestrial sphere".
I knew this would happen. I fall asleep early 'cause my son was exhausting and this shirt places. I wanted to be the first sucker! Oh well, at least I get to own it.
BTW, no wonder I was so drawn to you, O. Not only do we share the same middle name but my wife is Puerto Rican/Cuban and I'm Dominican. Gotta support our Caribbean brethren!
I think this might have looked better on a colored shirt. it's an interesting design.
"Not one not two not three but four! FOUR STONES!"
Answers to some of your questions.
Q. What's the reference?
A. The design is a watercolored representation of the Four Classical Elements and Aether (black brush strokes), "the material that fills the universe"
Q. But where's Aang / Leeloo Dallas / Captain Planet?
A. I would've love to design around any of those three concepts, but the derby clearly specified "no pop-culture references". Maybe some time in the future... That is why the design is more on the artistry side.
Q. Why the shirt color?
A. Again, one of the derby rules specified the use of Creme, White or Lemon shirts. So yeah, Black was out of the equation.
Q. Are you really from Puerto Rico?
A. Si, 100% Boricua!
Congrats Omar! It's striking and still very wearable - a well deserved win.
Lovely design. I would buy one, but Cream tees are never flattering on me. A black tee would be an instant buy for me.
danswhi wrote:"Not one not two not three but four! FOUR STONES!"
yay!!! I was hoping this one would print. In for one!
Congrats on the print Omar.
Was really hoping to see "Castle on a Cloud" or "Blossom" today (and the other tomorrow) but congratulations on the print Omar. It's a great design.
Thanks for the write up woot. For too long Mati has been a thorn in my side. Heart?! Really?! Goodbye useless ring!
Pretty sure it wasn't Milla and it was love, self-sacrifice and all that good stuff!
w00t! Time to watch my Fifth Element LD!
I love this concept, and was halfway to buying it before I realized the elements aren't in order with their common Neopagan compass associations.
I love this design, and the fact that it also comes as a wallpaper. I put together a simple desktop. If anyone has any ideas to improve it, I'm open to suggestions.
Hello everybody, I want to get a shirt but im a little concerned about the shirt size. I've read many threads on the size and understand the shirts can seem small at times. I am male 6'1 177 pounds, I have measured my other shirts and it matches up to an XL on the woot sizing chart. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Where is the Tiesto Logo?

I'm about your size (one inch taller and 7 lbs lighter), and I find myself RIGHT in between XL and L. I'd recommend you buy the XL and just hope it shrinks to fit.
Oh man this shirt would be so awesome if it was white! Is there anyway to do a special request so it can be printed on a white tee? lol
Din, Farore, and Nayru? Kinda looks like those symbols from Zelda games.
I am immensely happy this shirt got printed.
I knew that this gonna be on sale. So I don't have any second thought to buy one. This one is really cool. The Koi was cool too so I get both.

Wow, that was fast! I still have to wait at least 1 more week, the only delivery option available for Puerto Rico here at Woot is Smart Post (SnailMail). Looks very nice, I am very happy you liked it! Thanks for the support.
I wish this had a black or grey background. I don't buy light colored shirts and I like this one.
I got mine a couple days ago and I love it. It's my first Woot shirt. I was a little concerned about the size -I ordered a WM - and although it's a little tighter than I'd like it's wearable. Next time I'll go with a WL.
Lovely design Omar, congrats.

GridPanel deselect
When I click on a row in my GridPanel I pop up a Window containing a FormPanel with data. This is OK so far. When I close the Window the GridPanel row remains selected.
I would like the row to be deselected when I close the popup Window (actually I hide the window on close).
I have attached the following to the Window but with no success : screen just hangs : Firebug seems lost somewhere in ext-all.js :
{beforehide: function(){
return true;
Any ideas on this please ?

Claim: suppose that $E$ is a set of finite perimeter, and $H$ is a half space. Then $P(F\cap H)\le P(F)$. In words: restricting a Caccioppoli set to a half-space will not increase the perimeter.
My question: how to prove this?
I have a feeling it should be very simple, as in Almgren, Taylor, Wang's paper "Curvature-driven flows: a variational appraoch", it is claimed that it follows from "Stokes' theorem and Jensen's inequality". However, I'm having trouble to apply Jensen's inequality to this problem, except in trivial cases that boil down to linearity of the integral.
EDIT: Although no satisfying answer has been given as to what Jensen has to do with this theorem, a complete proof has been given. I've accepted this as an answer.

The tone pots are fairly useless, for the most part, so I was wondering what else people have done to take advantage of having those two controls available. I would love some ideas of something I could put into the electronics of my Strat and hook it up to one of the tone pots....
Tone pots are absolutely not useless. I used to think the same because I never used them, then I plugged my telecaster set to the bridge pickup into a new Vox AC-30 and experienced a shrill piercing nasty noise that somewhat resembled my favorite axe. Tone pots to the rescue!
Albeit subtle, the effect you get from your guitars tone potentiometer is useful in a couple of applications. Some of the more subdued tones you hear on popular recordings--and very much most of jazz--utilize the tone being kicked a couple of notches down. It's specifically nice for taking the edge off those harsh tones that exist on overly bright amplifiers (like a Vox) in combination with a bridge pickup.
As for what you could do as a replacement: the sky is the limit. For a Strat you could consider the following ideas:
Blend Pot: Some higher end G&L's have these, and I enjoyed it thoroughly when I owned a Legacy HB. The basic idea is you wire up a potentiometer to blend a target pickup into your overall tone, or pan between two target pickups. This would open up some tonal possibilities not usually available to Strat players--but how musically usable those tones are is up to you. You can find some wiring diagrams and more information on the basic idea here. These tend to be more useful for the so called "Fat Strat" configurations because it allows you to blend the humbucker into the single coil sounds for some more balls.
Mid Boost: Eric Clapton used something similar to this on his black Strat I believe. You can pick up a kit here. This is a bit advanced, and you'll need to install a small preamp underneath your pick guard along with a battery to run it. I've never installed one of these, so YMMV.
Individual Pickup Volumes: This is one of my favorite mods. If you've ever used a Les Paul then you understand why the stock wiring of multiple volume pots can be slightly irritating. When you kill one volume entirely the whole guitar goes dark at the middle switch position (or bridge + neck). This would be a way to independently control the output volume of each pickup instead of having a single, master volume. Using this wiring we would still have output at each switch position even if one of the involved pickup's volume is at zero. Take a look at the following diagrams:
The right diagram is a variation on the volume pot wiring that will get you the ability to control each volume individually instead of having a single, master volume. The picture to the left is the standard way of wiring a volume pot, and the picture to the right is sometimes called "reverse" wiring. Sources for those diagrams along with some other great free information is located here. By wiring up all your volume potentiometers this way you are able to independently control the volume of each pickup without effecting the master volume of the guitar. This is great because it in effect gives you more options than a single blend pot at the expense of using up another potentiometer for each pickup whose volume you wish to control. So by swapping out your tone controls for unique pickup volume controls, you are able to keep the basic sounds of each of the five switch positions but blend the volumes of each pickup included in the tone the way you would be able to on a Les Paul. There are many other benefits and drawbacks of this mod, but I think you get the general idea.
Anywho, there are tons of other weird and nonstandard modifications that you could take advantage of out there. A quick search for "stratocaster wiring diagrams" should turn up a plethora of hits. Deaf Eddie also has a great site on Stratocaster wiring mods and can give you all kinds of ideas (I learned a lot from him). Check him out here.
With one of the early guitars I built, I used the 2nd tone selector (for the neck pickup - so I never used it) as the input to a small wah wah I built into the body. I could hook my little finger around it and use it as a fairly extreme tone selector or as a full on wah.
I replaced one of the two tone pots in my Strat with a five-position rotary pickup-selector switch (I then re-wired the second tone pot to be a master tone control for the whole guitar). In combination with the stock five-way selector, the rotary switch allows for pickup combinations that the five-way selector by itself doesn't allow, such as Tele-style outside and inside pickups, in-phase or out-of-phase combinations, serial or parallel wiring, coil-tapping the bridge humbucker, etc.
On the guitar I built from Warmoth parts, I have piezo pickups embedded in the bridge saddles, and I use the middle pot as a magnetic/piezo balance knob, again with the third pot as master tone. I also added a three-way mini-toggle for magnetic-only/magnetic-and-piezo/piezo-only options.
Above I posted a link to the g&l Guitars wiring diagrams page. Check the Legacy model -- 3 single-coil pickups. They use a True Bass and separate True Treble pots.... Like a home stereo used to be....THE GREATEST.\ you can actually cut or boost the bass !!! likewise for treble. imagine a true boost in the bass...not just a rolloff of treble...
Or DEAF-EDDIE.COM
AMAZING Tone Switches. 3-wire simple installation. THIS IS THE COOLEST MOD I'VE SEEN..AND USE.
I actually removed mine on my ESP and replaced it with an EMG PA2 preamp booster. It's nice because you don't have to drill into your body, and reverting is quite painless if you don't like it.
ModBoards from Guitar Fetish will allow you to have chorus, wah, tremolo, compression, delay or distortion in that knob space. What I've heard about them hasn't been 100% favorable, but they're options.
You could mount another type of pot, push-pull switched one or a switched one (like in an old radio), or a pushbutton in that hole. A button as a killswitch (see Buckethead, Tom Morello) is a common option.
A simple switch is probably the easiest replacement. Simplest thing to use it for is probably a coil split or other such mod. One thing I've done is take a guitar with HSH pickups, wire the five position switch to the humbuckers (various combinations, you can find many kinds of schematics) and have a spare switch add the middle pickup. It could also switch between the HBs and the middle pickup if that's a more useful combination.
If you go active, there's loads of things you can use the hole for. :)
I had my tone pot turned into a spin-a-split. This gives you control over how much you split the humbucker, from both coils full to fully split. I don't like how the pickup sounds in either of the extremes, so having this control is very useful.

It seems to be bad design that I can not just scroll down on the month view of Calendar, so that the grid just moves up. Going prev/next through the months is very uncomfortable any time you are dealing with periods of time that span from one month to the next!
Any method to get this function? Calendar/iCal has been around a while, they should have built this in -- it is a common and convenient feature.

I've seen a lot of questions about Ubuntu and Windows 8 on a new machine with Windows 8 pre-installed and that UEFI stuff, but nothing useful about upgrading from win7 to win8 and Ubuntu.
I have a win7 machine (no UEFI firmware) with a WUBI installation of 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 and am looking to simply upgrade from win7 to win8.
Will this have serious complications with my current set up, like with the pre-installed win8 machines? Will my Ubuntu install be lost in the win8 upgrade?

[OPEN-125] Store (using AjaxProxy) duplicates new record when .sync() is called
Sencha Touch version tested:
- 1.1.0
Platform tested against:
- iOS 4
- Android 2.1
- New records are duplicated in a store after .sync() is called, when using an AjaxProxy.
Test Case:
// models/contact.js app.models.Contact = new Ext.regModel('Contact', { fields: [ { name: 'id', type: 'int' }, { name: 'first_name', type: 'string' }, { name: 'last_name', type: 'string' }, { name: 'email', type: 'string' }, { name: 'phone', type: 'string' } ], validations: [ { type: 'presence', field: 'first_name', message: 'none' }, { type: 'presence', field: 'last_name', message: 'none' }, { type: 'email', field: 'email', message: 'Please enter a valid e-mail address.' }, { type: 'phone', field: 'phone', message: 'Please enter a valid phone number.'} ], proxy: { type: 'ajax', url: 'contacts.xml', reader: { type: 'xml', record: 'contact' }, writer: { type: 'xml', record: 'contact' } } }); Ext.regStore('contacts', { autoLoad: true, model: 'Contact', sorters: ['last_name'], sortOnLoad: true, getGroupString : function(record) { return (record.get('last_name') || '#')[0].toUpperCase(); }, }); // in views/contacts/list.js app.views.ContactsList = Ext.extend(Ext.Panel, { title: 'Contacts', layout: 'fit', store: 'contacts', initComponent: function () { this.list = new Ext.List({ xtype: 'list', id: 'contactslist', grouped: true, indexBar: true, store: this.store, itemTpl: '{first_name} <strong>{last_name}</strong>' }); this.items = [this.list]; app.views.ContactsList.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments); } }); Ext.reg('contacts/list', app.views.ContactsList); // in controller: var contact = Ext.ModelMgr.create(this.form.getValues(), 'Contact'); var store = Ext.getStore('contacts'); store.add(contact); store.sync(); // Duplicate appears in views list once .sync() asynchronously completes.
- Attach a store (backed by an AjaxProxy) to a list
- Add a new (unsaved) record to the same store
- Call .sync() on store
The result that was expected:
- List should reflect one new item in the store
The result that occurs instead:
- List shows the new item twice
Debugging already done:
- Determined that the record returned from the server is never matched against the existing record in the store - because the internalId doesn't match.
Possible fix:
- Please see this commit on github for my change to AjaxProxy.js which fixes this for me.
- Note that the list isn't sorted properly within each group after my fix, but that might be the fault of the way I'm sorting things at the moment.

Questions about bug fixing process and support licenses
We are currently evaluating Sencha Touch as a platform to move forward with and I've been playing around getting a feel for it's capabilities.
We are pretty keen on what we have seen and will likely purchase a support license, however this duplicate problem caused me some grey hairs, so I have some questions I hope can be answered:
- Is this a bug or have I set up things incorrectly?
- If this is a bug is it fixed in the version available only to support licensees? Is there any public information about what is in the version available only to support licensees?
- If this bug is not fixed in the version available to support licensees then what would be the normal turnaround for such a bug fix to become available (if we had a support license)?
- I notice that in this post you mention "If we get demand for a github repository featuring just the public releases we may set that up too" - can I add a vote for that? It seems that would make submitting fixes like this easier for both sides if we could generate pull requests on github.

I noticed this issue too
I experience this issue as well and tracked down the problem.
It's a bug.
Perhaps this override might help someone. It worked for me and my RestProxy.
Basically, when the DataReader reads a response back from server, it instantiates new record instances, with new internalId set.
When the store has its onWrite callback fired, it tries to replace the original record (which caused the CREATE/UPDATE action) with the new version from server, but it can't possibly find it unless their internalId are set the same.
onProxyWrite: function(operation) { var data = this.data, action = operation.action, records = operation.getRecords(), length = records.length, callback = operation.callback, record, i; if (operation.wasSuccessful()) { if (action == 'create' || action == 'update') { for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { record = records[i]; record.phantom = false; record.join(this); data.replace(record); // <-- HERE. Store tries to replace oldRec with newRec. } } else if (action == 'destroy') { for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { record = records[i]; record.unjoin(this); data.remove(record); } this.removed = []; } this.fireEvent('datachanged'); } //this is a callback that would have been passed to the 'create', 'update' or 'destroy' function and is optional if (typeof callback == 'function') { callback.call(operation.scope || this, records, operation, operation.wasSuccessful()); } },/**

This is a recurring issue with the architecture around creating Model instances locally and saving them remotely. At the moment it's rather difficult to accurately match each record returned by the server against the record we sent to the server.
We're formulating a better solution to this internally at the moment and will keep you updated.Ext JS Senior Software Architect

STEUBENVILLE - Heading into Friday's battle with Massillon, Reno Saccoccia admitted he was concerned with the Tigers' depth. Turns out, his worries were valid.
Ohio's top-ranked Division II club wore down the Big Red with its power running game and physical defense in the second half to earn a 37-21 victory before a huge crowd at Harding Stadium.
The 47th meeting between the schools (Massillon now holds a 40-5-2 series lead) provided those in attendance with a little bit of everything. Both teams were brilliant at times and both shot themselves in the foot several times. There were big plays, huge defensive stops, turnovers, fumbles and a whole bunch of penalties.

DEATH VALLEY — Steubenville Big Red's Cam King hauls in a first down pass during Friday's 37-21 loss to Massillon in front of a packed house at Harding
Jason Hall's Tigers scored on three of its first four possessions during the final 24 minutes in running their record to 5-0. Big Red drops to 4-1 and will hit the road next week, traveling to Barberton.
"They're very deep, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines," Saccoccia said. "They play a lot of kids. Their depth just wore us down."
Massillon finished the night with 277 rushing yards (161 coming in the second half). Senior Lyron Wilson, who showed power and speed, accounted for 239 of those stripes and crossed the goal three times.

PENALTIES: Big Red 9-82; Massillon 14-95.
PUNTS: Big Red 4-31; Massillon 0-0.
FUMBLES: Big Red 2-2; Massillon 1-1.
Up 16-14 at the half, the Tigers traveled 45 yards in just five plays to start the third quarter. Massillon was able to cover Big Red's onside kick attempt and started the drive inside Steubenville territory. J.D. Crabtree accounted for all the yardage and scored on a five-yard burst. Andrew David added the extra point.
Big Red, who entered the contest as the fourth-rated Division IV squad, appeared ready to respond but its ensuing drive was slowed by a chop block penalty and then thwarted thanks to a Devon Ingram interception,
Starting at its own 46, Massillon gained nine yards on three plays, resulting in a fourth and one at Big Red 45. Instead of going for it, Hall opted to punt and the snap sailed over the head of David, giving Big Red new life at the Tiger 35.
Saccoccia's crew capitalized in a hurry. Sophomore Dimitri Collaros found senior tight end Cameron King open over the middle for 23 yards. Hard-running senior tailback Garon Lytle gained a pair before Collaros made a great throw to the back of the end zone. Junior wide receiver Lucas Herrington hauled in the pass and managed to get a foot down for the score. John Paul Duff's kick closed the gap to 23-21.
Unfortunately for Big Red, Massillon responded with a nine-play ground and pound drive covering 60 yards. Wilson gained half the stripes on the ground and freshman quarterback Danny Clark connected with senior Beau Huffman for a four-yard score.
Big Red wasn't finished. Sophomore quarterback Mandela Lawrence-Burke hit sophomore wide receiver Niko Petrides for 12 yards. Lawrence-Burke then ran for six and Lytle added three. The Red then was hit with a motion penalty on third and one. Massillon dropped Lawrence-Burke for a six yard loss after the penalty, forcing a punt.
The Tigers then went 65 yards to put the game out of reach. This time, Wilson scored on a 14-yard jaunt.
Field position played a major role in Massillon's ability to take its halftime lead. The Tigers started drives at the Big Red eight, 23, 45 and 44. On the other hand, Saccoccia's crew began possessions at its own 20 (three times), 2, 7 and 15 (twice).
"No doubt, field position was a huge factor," Saccoccia noted. "It was a problem for us all night. But, we have to accept the bitter with the sweet. I told our players after the game that I hope they feel about their coaches the way their coaches feel about them. We'll be back at it tomorrow."
Big Red's first drive of the game was a good one. Starting at its own 20, the Red moved to the Massillon 46. Collaros hit senior wide receiver Bryan Pierro for 11 yards and Petrides for 12 more. Junior tailback Donte Brown (one of several Big Red starters injured during the very physical contest) ran for seven and Lytle added five. On second and three at the Tiger 46, Big Red was hit with a personal foul penalty.
That call put the pigskin back to the Big Red 39. On fourth down, the snap sailed over the head of Big Red's punter and the Tigers were in business at the eight yard line.
Saccoccia's defense came up huge, however. Massillon, which drew 14 flags, was whistled twice for motion on the possession. On third and goal from the 10, Clark found Leslie Dudley in the flats. Dudley was hit at the three, coughed up the pigskin and Petrides recovered at the two.
The game's first points came when Lawrence-Burke was called for grounding in the end zone, giving the Tigers a safety.
A tackle for a loss by Big Red's Robert Hayden stopped the next Massillon drive. David just missed a 51-yard field goal before each team turned the football over.
Big Red fumbled at its own 20 one play before Pierro picked off a Clark pass. Massillon led 2-0 after the first quarter.
Aided by another Big Red mistake, the Tigers went 44 yards on its next possession for the game's initial touchdown, Wilson scoring from the four. A personal foul on the Big Red helped keep the drive alive. For the night, Saccoccia's unit was penalized nine times.
Big Red's next offensive series resulted in a three and out, but did set the stage for a huge play by Lytle. On the punt, he laid a fierce hit on the Massillon return man, forcing a fumble which he alertly recovered. Saccoccia's team would capitalize eight plays later.
Lawrence-Burke had the big gainer of the series when he faked a handoff inside, raced the outside and scampered 33 yards, giving his team a first and goal at the one. Two snaps later, Hayden went over.
The Tigers needed just two plays to respond. Reggie Rogers returned the Big Red kick 33 yards to his own 43. Wilson covered 27 stripes on first down and the remaining 30 on his next carry.
Big Red would close the gap again, traveling 80 yards just before the intermission.
Lawrence-Burke hit senior wide receiver Cody Saltsman for 17 yards then scrambled for another 23. On first and goal from the Tiger 10, he rolled away from the pressure and found senior fullback Kai McClurg for the touchdown.
"Our kids fought," Saccoccia stated. "After the game, I asked each one of them if they fought. I told them if you did, keep your heads up, come back and fight some more.
"My emotions are the same as the kids, up and down. I try to be up when they are down and when they are up, I try to keep them up. This was a hard-fought, physical game and our emotions were all over the place."
Clark, the first freshman in Massillon's history to start at quarterback, completed five of seven passes for 41 yards. He also had the one pick. He did hit Rogers for 26 stripes on Massillon's third scoring drive of the second half.
Massillon's deep and physical defense held Big Red to 74 rushing yards on 35 attempts. Lawrence-Burke led the way with 56. Collaros threw for 121 yards and a touchdown while Lawrence-Burke added 39 and another score.
"I'm really proud of Steubenville tonight," Saccoccia noted. "The coaches and players of the Big Red football team really appreciate the fan support we received."
Since the rivalry resumed 2009, Massillon's win was the first for the visiting team.

WELLSBURG - When write-in votes for Brooke County sheriff should be counted and a proposal to lease the county prosecutor's office were among matters before the Brooke County Commission on Tuesday.
County Clerk Sylvia Benzo told the commission that Mike Allman has filed as a write-in candidate for sheriff.
That means Allman's name won't appear on ballots but voters may submit a write-in vote for him by pressing the write-in option when they come to "sheriff" on the onscreen ballot in the county's electronic voting machines.
Allman was defeated by Chuck Jackson, currently the county's chief sheriff's deputy, on the Democratic ticket in the May primary election. Jackson is unchallenged in the Nov. 6 general election.
Jackson in May received 2,209 votes, while Allman received 1,765 in a three-way Democratic race that also included Roger Garretson. Incumbent Richard Ferguson may not seek a third term under state law.
Benzo said when voters cast write-in votes, their choice is recorded on the paper trail inside the machine but not on the computer card used to tabulate votes on election night.
She said the cards will indicate only that write-in votes were cast, not for whom. She added that will be true for any write-in votes, whether they be votes for any of 24 official write-in presidential candidates on West Virginia ballots or "gag" votes for Santa Claus, Mickey Mouse or other fictional characters that aren't uncommon.
Benzo said she and other election clerks know on election night how many write-in votes have been cast, but normally the recipients of those votes aren't known until the ballots have been canvassed later that week.
She asked the commissioners whether they wanted her and the other clerks to extract the names for the write-in candidates on that night, which is likely to delay reporting of the results.
The commission took no action on the matter, tabling it for further consideration.
Benzo noted that not all write-in candidates may win an election race, only those who have filed a certificate of announcement as required by the Secretary of State's office.
Unlike in Ohio, those wishing to be named write-in candidates aren't required to submit a petition signed by a designated number of registered voters.
In related business, Benzo announced Oct. 16 is the last day for voters to register or make any changes to their registration, and early voting will be held from Oct. 24 through Nov. 3.
For information, call Benzo's office at (304) 737-3661.
In other business, the commission tabled a proposed lease of part of the Cross Law Office for use by the future county Prosecutor Joseph Barki III, beginning in January. For many years County Prosecutor David B. Cross and up to three assistant prosecutors have worked out of the 727 Charles St. office of Cross' private law firm. Cross said he never charged the county for the use of his office.
"Basically it was just free to them all these years," he said.
Barki, who has served as an assistant county prosecutor while operating his own private law practice out of Cross' office, plans to assume the prosecuting attorney's role on a full-time basis when his term begins in January.
Cross has asked the commission to consider a monthly rent of about $2,076, which includes a share of utilities - gas, electricity, water, telephone and garbage collection services.
Asked the commission's position on the proposal, Commissioner Tim Ennis said the commission may consider it at least on a temporary basis because there's no space at the county courthouse.
Ennis recently formed a committee to plan the relocation of the county's magistrate and family courts to another building, such as the former county museum at Sixth and Charles streets.
The courts were moved to the third floor of the Progressive Bank building following the 2004 flood, but the commission since learned the court facilities, which are in a separate part from the bank, don't comply with state fire codes.
