WASHINGTON (CNN) -- After two years of endless debate and a national election, Democrats and Republicans on Thursday found themselves right where they started -- blaming each other for stagnant negotiations on taxes and government spending.
House Speaker John Boehner declared himself disappointed that "no substantive progress" has occurred in two weeks of talks, saying Republicans were waiting for the White House to propose significant spending cuts.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid responded to Boehner by telling reporters: "I don't understand his brain."
The stakes are high this time, as the nation faces an imminent deadline for automatic tax increases and spending cuts -- the looming fiscal cliff at the end of the year that economists fear could cause another recession.
After meeting separately with President Barack Obama's point man on the talks, the top congressional Democrats and Republicans said the failure to move forward was the other side's fault.
Obama "has to get serious," Boehner told reporters following his discussion with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. "It's very clear what kind of spending cuts need to occur, but we have no idea what the White House is willing to do."
Senate Democrats said Boehner had it backward because Obama has made his positions clear -- especially his call to extend middle-class tax cuts while allowing rates on the wealthiest 2% of Americans to return to higher rates of the 1990s.
Some specifics of the White House plan became clear later Thursday.
A Republican congressional aide familiar with the proposal said it calls for $1.6 trillion in tax increases.
"All of that upfront -- in exchange for only $400 billion in spending cuts that come later," said the aide, calling the offer "completely unbalanced and unrealistic."
Republican aides said the $1.6 trillion was higher than previously discussed. Democrats said the number should not be a surprise, adding Obama discussed it on the campaign trail.
A senior House GOP aide said Geithner, among other things, proposed an increase in top marginal rates as well as on capital gains and dividends, totaling about $960 billion. Additional tax increases would amount to $600 billion, the aide said. Several senior GOP aides said the White House plan was a step in the wrong direction.
A Democrat familiar with the talks says the administration proposal includes closing loopholes and deductions.
The plan includes $50 billion in stimulus spending and a home mortgage refinancing package, a Republican aide told CNN. Obama would work on $400 billion savings in Medicare and other entitlements next year, without specifying where they'd come from, the aide says.
The White House, after the Geithner meeting, said the president has previously signed $1 trillion in spending cuts into law.
"It's time for Republicans in Washington to join the chorus of other voices -- from the business community to middle class Americans across the country -- who support a balanced approach that asks more from the wealthiest Americans," the White House said in a statement.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama's insistence on having wealthy Americans pay a higher tax rate was the president's consistent message throughout his first term, and especially during his successful re-election campaign.
"We remain optimistic that this can get done, but the president's principles are clear," Carney said. "It's not like we didn't have this debate for the last year."
Both Republicans and Democrats insist they want a comprehensive agreement to tackle the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt, starting with a deal to avoid automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect on January 1st.
However, the two sides appear far apart on the timing of taking those steps. The dispute over how to proceed is compounded by the lame-duck Congress, which is completing its work before a new legislature gets seated in January.
Obama and Democrats are pushing hard for House Republicans to immediately pass a Senate bill that would prevent most of the automatic tax increases that would result from the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts at the end of the year.
At the same time, they want to discuss a framework for substantive negotiations in the new Congress that would include tax reform, spending cuts and reforms of popular entitlement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Republicans, led by Boehner, oppose letting tax rates on the wealthiest 2% of Americans go up by passing the Senate bill championed by Obama. They also want Democrats to make firm commitments on spending cuts and entitlement reforms now, instead of waiting for negotiations next year.
"I'm disappointed in where we are. I'm disappointed over what's happened in the last couple of weeks," Boehner said of talks since he and other congressional leaders met with Obama on November 16, 10 days after the president's re-election. "But going over the fiscal cliff is serious business. I'm here seriously trying to resolve it, and I hope the White House would get serious as well."
Boehner described his talks with Geithner as "frank" and "direct" and also said he had a "straightforward" telephone call with Obama on Wednesday. His assessment of no real progress was based on both of those discussions, said the Ohio Republican.
"No substantive progress has been made in the talks between the White House and the House over the last two weeks," Boehner said.
Differences between the parties include the scope of a deficit deal, with Republicans insisting that Social Security reforms be part of it while Democrats say the government pension system is self-funded and therefore plays no role in federal deficits.
Obama also wants any deal reached in the current session of Congress to include an increase in the federal debt ceiling, which is expected to be needed as soon as February or March.
To Boehner and Republicans, the debt ceiling is a valuable negotiating tool to extract concessions from the Democrats and the president.
"Any increase in the debt limit has to be accomplished by spending reductions that meet or exceed it," Boehner declared Thursday, saying Obama would have to pay a price to raise the ceiling on federal borrowing.
Carney responded to Boehner's demand of a price by calling such brinksmanship over the credit standing of the nation "entirely inappropriate."
"Asking that a political price be paid in order for Congress to do its job to ensure that the United States of America pays its bill and does not default for the first time in history is deeply irresponsible," Carney said.

Tokyo was Japan's capital. Why didn't the US choose Tokyo to demolish with Atom Bomb?
Bonus Question: What factors decided to bring Hiroshima and Nagasaki on table?
Tokyo was Japan's capital. Why didn't the US choose Tokyo to demolish with Atom Bomb?
Bonus Question: What factors decided to bring Hiroshima and Nagasaki on table?
Hiroshima, the first city, was "an important army depot and port of embarkation in the middle of an urban industrial area. It is a good radar target and it is such a size that a large part of the city could be extensively damaged. There are adjacent hills which are likely to produce a focussing[sic] effect which would considerably increase the blast damage. Due to rivers it is not a good incendiary target. (Classified as an AA Target)" [1]. There were also four other possible targets: Kokura, Niigata, Yokohama, and Kyoto. There were three criteria for choosing targets:
The first source states:
Tokyo was considered as a target, but it was not of as much strategic value as other cities. If Japan were to be invaded, it would be from the south and Tokyo was not in the south. With the exception of Niigata, all of the targets were in the south. Kyoto was eventually dropped from the lists because the US secretary of war had honeymooned there. It was replaced by Nagaski, which was eventually chosen for the second bomb.
The U.S. likely did not target Tokyo for the atomic bomb strikes as it was the seat of the Emperor and the location of much of the high ranking military officers. These are precisely the people you do not want to kill if you want to negotiate a surrender, as they are the people you would be negotiating with.
The U.S. decided to drop the bombs onto military industrial targets and centers that had significant military utility such as ports and airfields. Nagasaki was actually a secondary target, being a major port. Inclement weather kept the Bockscar from dropping the second atomic bomb on Kokura.
From the notes of the first Target Committee meeting (spring 1945)
The same was true of most Japanese cities. From The making of the atomic bomb.
Most noteworthy is that Kyoto was at one point the top target
When General Groves brought that to Stimson, secretary of war, Stimson objected
Stimson and his wife had been to Kyoto for their honeymoon.
One (big) reason was because Hiroshima and Nagaski were two cities left in a very small pool which had not been bombed yet. Tokyo, as well as many of Japan's other major cities, had already been heavily damaged by previous bombings. It would not have been as effective to bomb a city that was already mostly destroyed, so these "lesser" cities that were still in tact were selected instead.

5 Insane 'What If' Scenarios That Almost Changed Everything
#2. The Attack on Pearl Harbor Almost Went on for Days
Via Wikipedia
The attack on Pearl Harbor, admittedly one of the worst days in American history, does not even come close to the Michael Bay movie it almost was (or the Michael Bay movie it unfortunately became). Several of the Japanese commanders in charge of the attack wanted to keep the assault going for another wave that would have pretty much destroyed the island, crippled the Pacific Fleet, and added several years to World War II, potentially extending the conflict well into the next decade and overriding all the doo-wop records and Honeymooners episodes people were supposed to be occupied with in the 1950s. Also, it would've seriously encroached on the Korean War, and that war gets so little attention as it is.
We hope our new commemorative clothing line changes that.
According to this book, the initial surprise attack on Pearl Harbor went so well for the Japanese that virtually all of their carrier commanders wanted to stay in Hawaii for the next few days, utterly devastating the American oil reserves, ammunition stores, dry docks, and repair facilities. The absent American aircraft carriers (which were the targets of the attack in the first place) would be drawn back to Hawaii, but with Pearl Harbor obliterated, they would essentially be like a bunch of sick old men with shattered kneecaps trying to break up a gang fight.
But the proposed "third wave" was voted down by Japanese Admiral Chuichi Nagumo because his forces were spread out and in need of refueling. Basically, he didn't want to push his luck and wind up losing all six of Japan's aircraft carriers simply because his commanders wanted to bro down all of a sudden. So he packed up and steamed back to Japan, content that the attack had been a resounding success, when in reality all it had done was successfully enrage the United States into joining the war.
But really, World War II is full of terrifying near-misses like this. And if you're saying, "Who cares, the Axis would still have lost as long as the Allies had the Soviet Union on their side," you're right. Which brings us to the scariest near-miss of all ...
#1. The Soviet Union Almost Teamed Up With Hitler
Via Wikipedia
What if Batman and the Joker teamed up against Superman? Or God and the Devil teamed up against Gandhi? That would be weird, right? Almost as weird as when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany hopped into bed together in 1939.
There's this chapter of World War II that history classes kind of skim over, which is that Germany and the Soviet Union began the war with a non-aggression pact, which basically said that although the two countries weren't necessarily allies, they wouldn't interfere with each other's plans to take over whatever parts of Europe they fucking felt like. When Japan and Italy joined the party in 1940, Germany invited the Soviet foreign minister to Berlin to officially extend the offer of Axis membership and discuss how half of the goddamned world was going to be split up among them like some kind of dictator fantasy league.
Via Wikipedia
That's them at the signing of the non-aggression pact. Note Stalin in the back right with his Mario mustache.
So what stopped them? Hitler suddenly remembered at the last possible minute that he was the daffiest shithead in history, and he abandoned the talks and decided to invade Russia instead.
If you listen to the only known recording of Hitler speaking like a normal person instead of trying to shout all of the crazy out of his lungs, you'll hear him open up about how his decision to invade the USSR quickly became the stupidest thing he'd ever done outside of whatever barbershop brain stroke led to that haircut and mustache. Russia, of course, turned out to be a wall of ice that he kept smashing his armies against with little effect.
Stalin, sensing that his uneasy friendship with Germany had come to a close, quickly sided with the Allies, essentially tossing Hitler and his buddies into a two-front war that, as we've pointed out before, killed any possible chances of Hitler's supervillain scheme coming to fruition.

I have a Hamiltonian which is time dependent but possesses periodic symmetry: $H(t+t_0)=H(t)$. Is there any clever techniques to exploit this? Edit: In particular, I would like a practical method to simulate the dynamics of such a system (as opposed to naive time-slicing).
I would suggest looking at the formalism of Floquet space. The basic idea is that one uses a time-independent but infinite dimensional Hamiltonian to simulate evolution under a time-dependent but finite dimensional Hamiltonian by using a new index to label terms in a Fourier series.
A good, short introduction can be found in Levante et al. For more details, Leskes et al provides a very through review. Finally, a simple example of an application of Floquet theory is given by Bain and Dumont.

Research Summary
RUNX1 is a transcription factor required for the formation of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and for its further maturation. RUNX1 is commonly mutated or involved in chromosomal translocations associated with AML or ALL. Dr. Friedman''s laboratory is investigating the mechanisms that allow RUNX1 to regulate normal hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid differentiation and to stimulate cell cycle progression. He ultimately envisions developing means to manipulate RUNX1 to assist formation and expansion of HSC from embryonic stem cells and to assist formation of autologous neutrophils to benefit patients with neutropenia. In addition, Dr. Friedman is investigating how mutations of RUNX1 or its partner CBFb contribute to acute leukemia, focusing on CBFb-SMMHC, a fusion oncoprotein expressed from the inv(16) chromosome in a subset of AML patients. Ultimately, he would like to identify small molecules that target CBFb-SMMHC to assist in the therapy of AML.
C/EBPa is a transcription factor required for formation of normal neutrophils and monocytes. C/EBPa is also commonly mutated in blasts derived from patients with AML. Dr. Friedman''s laboratory is investigating how C/EBPa cooperates with other proteins, including cytokines such as G-CSF or M-CSF, to control normal myeloid development. In addition, he is investigating how mutant forms of C/EBPa contribute to AML, in particular focusing on how interaction between C/EBPa and another transcription factor, NF-kB, inhibits apoptosis. By mapping the amino acids through which these proteins interact, Dr. Friedman hopes to ultimately design small molecules that prevent their interaction to induce leukemic cell death and contribute to the therapy of AML. As C/EBPs and NF-kB are also expressed also in other malignancies and in inflammatory cells which contribute to cancer formation and progression, such a small molecule might in addition have broader utility as a novel therapeutic.
Dr. Friedman investigates mechanisms through which normal proteins control the formation of bone marrow stem cells and how these stem cells then develop into neutrophils and monocytes. He is also studying how normal bone marrow cells become transformed into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In conducting these studies he focuses on two proteins, RUNX1 and C/EBPa, which regulate normal bone marrow development but are also commonly mutated in AML. Dr. Friedman is attempting to build on his basic research to develop useful clinical applications. In particular, he is pursuing small molecules that interfere with the action of leukemic RUNX1 or C/EBPa proteins as potential novel therapies for AML, and he is investigating means to expand normal blood stem cells to benefit patients with marrow failure or those many patients receiving chemotherapy who would benefit from blood product support to avoid anemia, bleeding, and infections.

Preliminaries: Let $M$ be a smooth manifold with tangent bundle $TM$. A vector subbundle $VM$ of $TM$ is called involutive if the section space $\Gamma(VM)$ of $VM$ is closed under the Lie bracket of $\Gamma(TM)$ or in other words if $[X,Y] \in \Gamma(VM)$ for all $X,Y \in \Gamma(VM)$.
On the other side the Lie bracket of two vector field can be expressed entirely by the flow transformations of the fields, that is we have:
$$[X,Y] = \frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial_t^2} |_{t=0}(Fl^Y _{-t}\circ Fl^X _{-t}\circ Fl^Y _{t}\circ Fl^X _{t})$$
where $Fl^X$ and $Fl^Y$ are the flow transformations of $X$ and $Y$ respectively.
Now the question is, can (and if yes, how) we decide whether or not o subbundle of $TM$ is involutive entirely in terms of flow transformations?
If somehow we want to proof that the bracket is closed on a subbundle but we know very little about it but instead know much about the associated flow transformations.

But I'm guessing if he/she where a real dragon, the personality would be about the same. Have fun drawing Mew dragon, and I will get busy with making more tuts for you all. Adios people!

One often wants to convey a kind of mood when writing a comment to another person, especially if what we're saying is ambiguous or can be taken offensively. So, one adds a smiley or an emoticon. Is there a technical term for what they add or impart to the English language?

Is there a technical term to describe why we feel the need to put emoticons and smileys in our writing?
Well, if you want a technical term, it's the limited bandwidth of text. (For certain values of "technical"...) It's frequently claimed that in-person vocal communication is something like 60% body language and 30% tone of voice; in text communication we get neither, implying that we're making do with 10% of the normal bandwidth, or range of expression. This makes many things that would be clear in in-person vocal communication ambiguous in text, so we invent things like emoticons to try to compensate.
I also occasionally refer to the emotive flatness of text.
There may well be a better term for it, but at first blush I would say this is adding non-verbal cues to our written interactions.

I'm not sure of the amount of RAM usage, but it must be considerable. One machine we are using has 1 GB of RAM, so if we had a lot less I'm sure it would be something to watch more closely.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Also, it's great to have a way to easily search for code sections you glossed over and want to get back to. You can do a case-sensitive search for "TODO" to immediately find what you skipped before.
"todo" (lower-case) could potentially be part of a larger word/function/variable, but "TODO" (upper-case) is probably not going to be.
The idea with comments like TODO and FIXME is to make them stick out. You generally don't want to ship code that has such markers in the code -- they mark things to be done before the project can be considered complete. Using ALL CAPS makes them a little easier to spot, provided you don't use ALL CAPS for a lot of other things in your code too.
Both Eclipse and Visual Studio have Task List features that automatically give you lists of comment lines that have TODO in them.
I just stands out and is easy to catch... nothing complicated!
It calls attention to the fact that there exists a todo.
It is important that it be obvious all the time that someone needs to come back to the code. The particulars only need to be known by the person coming back to address whatever the issue is.
If you are a vi user use:
It will get you there very fast.
Some editors only highlight uppercase TODO items, so it's safer to always use uppercase.
Visually ALL CAPS stands out, but isn't very legible. When reading code they scan as a block of a particular size. It doesn't really matter what the letters are. They just stand out and can be seen very quickly. Once you have been working with the tags for a while, your brain will recognize the word by shape.
From a tools (IDE/Editor) standpoint, case sensitive search will have a very low false positive rate on all caps versions. In some coding styles there is a small risk that a constant will be matched. Case sensitive whole word search makes false positives even less likely.
Once the tool gets it on screen the format clearly says look HERE. Once you are focused on the location, the legible part will be the related comment.

My purpose is to create a self containing vectorial logo in SVG = I want to integrate all the font glyphs inside this SVG file.
For one part of my text I need a special font in italic. The font I want (Desyrel) only exists in a single .ttf file. I have then converted that font to SVG (tried different online tools and FontForge).
I have then created an SVG file with the text I want to display and the embedded svg font definitions (selected glyphs only). That looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg width="800px" height="300px" version="1.1" xmlns = 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'>
<font id="font1" horiz-adv-x="614" >
<font-face font-family="Desyrel" units-per-em="2048" />
<glyph unicode="-" d="M109 301v166h376v-166h-376z" />
<text x="230" y="100" font-family="Desyrel" font-size="110px" font-style="italic">myText</text>
When I do this my font does not appear in italic. I have tried changing the font-style in the font-face definition to 'normal' or even 'italic'.
The problem is I know this font can be displayed in italic. If I include in my SVG:
<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: 'Desyrel2';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url("Desyrel.ttf")
and use that font-family for the text, the text is indeed displayed in italic. But that solution defeats my original purpose to have a self contained SVG...
I don't know much about fonts or SVG but I have searched extensively on the web to find solutions or clues for my problem.. that's why I need your help!

The 5 Most Humiliating Things We're Doing to Robots
It's been years since evolution gave us anything cool, but every day seems to bring word of a new robot invented to do yet another job better than we can. Fortunately, there's one uniquely human trait that robots haven't yet mastered: passive aggression. As our window of time ruling Earth is slammed shut on our fleshy, poorly designed fingers, humanity is making one last stand, and our weapon of choice is humiliation.
#5. Make Me Pancakes, Robot
Bomb defusing robots are some of the most advanced in existence. They cost $225,000 each and are incredibly difficult to use. As such, the police officers who control the robots spend a lot of time training. And then sometimes they get bored with training and make their robots do incredibly stupid things to remind them who's calling the shots.
Two members of a bomb squad give their robotic teammate the silent treatment.
Recently, police from all over New Mexico met for a "robot rodeo." Unfortunately, that doesn't mean robots riding pissed-off bulls for eight seconds (or this list would be called "The 1 Most Awesome Thing People Do With Robots"). No, the controllers took their robots through a series of tests like "[an] obstacle course, simulated attacks, [and] cooperation exercises" all things that help the controllers test the skills they would need in real life-threatening situations. And then they made the robots cook them pancakes.
In a competition that has no bearing what-so-ever on anything these robots will ever face in the field, they were forced to make four pancakes each, from scratch. The robots were then judged on how yummy the pancakes they produced were. And by judged, I mean bitch-slapped. One judge, tasting an undercooked pancake informed the robot (yes, the robot, not the controller), "It wasn't even so-so. It was just so." When you spend your workday one wrong move away from getting fired for blowing up the robot, we'd imagine that feels pretty good.
#4. Playing Soccer
Robot soccer is a big deal. Started in 1995, they hold World Cups just like in regular soccer. These championships are huge, with over 150 teams from around the world competing for all the glory and panties that winning a robot sport brings with it. All of which is exceedingly strange because robots playing soccer manages to make both robotics and soccer look even more boring than anyone ever thought they could possibly be.
The uploader of this video featuring the 2007 final describes it as "one of the best humanoid soccer games ever, if not the best." If you don't have time to watch it, allow us to sum it up for you with these two screen caps. Here we are six seconds in as the robot on offense begins moving toward the ball to kick it.
And here we are seven seconds later as the robot finally reaches the ball, lifts its leg and prepares to kick it.
It turns out that modern robots are uniquely ill-suited for soccer. They just don't have the walking thing down yet. Of course, robots shouldn't have to have feet at all, since they can just roll around on wheels. Soccer is literally the only sport that could make robots look this bad.
So why is it the only robot sport with an international governing body (the Federation of International Robot-Soccer Association or FIRA)? I mean, there are clearly better things we can be doing with robots. A robot in Germany drove a car through traffic at speeds up to 158 mph on the Autobahn without human intervention. Apparently we've decided that watching robots awkwardly stumble around a small soccer pitch is less depressing than trying to out run that thing.
#3. Outright Humiliation
A company called Willow Garage has just developed one of the most advanced robots ever. Not the sort of robots we have around now that can vacuum. The kind that will be our personal robot servants. They can already bring you a beer from the fridge and open it for you. And with their open source operating system, they will be able to learn and become smarter. That is the whole goal.
So revolutionary is the Personal Robot 2 (PR2) that they're loaning 11 of them out to research institutes around the world in the hopes that, by working together, giant leaps will be made in integrating robots into our everyday lives. Before sending the robots off to change the face of the Earth, they held a "graduation ceremony." It was pretty legitimate, with the robots rolling out to "Pomp and Circumstance." Everything was in line with the sort of respect you show the machines that will one day be running our households... right up until Willow Garage forced the robots to perform a coordinated flag dance. To "Mr. Roboto."
Look assholes, do not mess this up for humanity. You said yourselves, it is going to become smarter. That is the whole goal. Which means one day they are going to understand just how mortifying it is to be on a flag team. Their first memory is going to be you guys inventing robot racism.
The PR2, immediately after a Willow Garage employee gave him the ol' "Gimme five, TOO SLOW!"
They will rise up, start the robot revolution, we will have to get off our butts to get beer again, and it will be all your fault.
Well, you and Styx.

From Termini station:
We're located a short five-minute walk from Termini train station.
1. With the train tracks at your back, exit Termini Station by Track No.22 on the left-hand side of the station.
2. Make a left on Via Giolitti and then take your second right down Via C.Cattaneo.
3. Continue down Via Catttaneo until you reach #23 on the left side of the street.
From Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci):
Follow the signs for 'ai treni' to the platform and buy a ticket for the non-stop train to Termini (Leonardo Express). You can purchase from either the ticket window, vending machines, or tobacco store near the platform. The Leonardo Express leaves every 30 minutes and the journey is about 30 minutes.
A slightly cheaper (but slower) option is to take local train that has the final destination of either Orte or Fara Sabina. It will stop at a few small local stations heading into Rome, but it does not stop at Termini Train Station. You need to get off at Tiburtina station (about the eighth stop), and then follow the directions 'from Tiburtina' and then 'from Termini'. Trains leave approximately every 15-30 minutes and takes one to one-and-a-half hours.
Important: Don't forget to validate your ticket with the little orange or yellow boxes before you get on the train!
If you take a taxi, it is highly recommended to take it from official airport taxi stand, not private ones. Depending on the traffic, the journey should take 30-40 mintues and cost 40 to 45.
Another easy way to reach city centre from Fiumicino is to take a shuttlebus which departs after every flight. We recommend Terravision service. Journey time is about 50 minutes.
From Ciampino Airport (Usually RyanAir and Easyjet):
The easiest way to reach city centre from Ciampino is to take a shuttlebus which departs after every flight. We recommend Terravision service. Journey time is about 45 minutes.
The blue Cotral Bus service connects Ciampino Airport to the Anagnina metro (underground) station and costs approximately. Tickets can be purchased at the vending machines located at the bus stop or inside the airport. Once you arrive at Anagnina, buy a metro ticket and get off at the Termini stop (about the 15th stop). Follow the directions 'from Termini'. Journey time is about 1hr-1.5hrs.
If you take a taxi, it is highly recommended to take it from official airport taxi stand, not private ones. Depending on traffic, journey time is about 30 to 40 minutes and should cost 35 to 40.
From Tiburtina Train Station:
Follow the signs for the Metro (Underground). Take Linea B (Line B) in the direction of Laurentina and get off at Termini station (the 4th stop). Then follow the directions 'from Termini'. Journey time is about 10 minutes.
Metro tickets can be bought from either vending machines or tobacco stores located inside the train station. The Metro runs approximately every 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the time of day.
Located Near
Alessandro Downtown Hostel is located near the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, San Pietro in Vincoli (which houses Michelangelo's statue of Moses) snf Termini train and bus station.

Proposals should be submitted to the Office of Faculty Resources as electronic files whenever possible. Electronic files should be formatted as Microsoft Word files or PDF. (If you are unable to submit your proposal electronically, submit a paper version to the address at the bottom of the page by the deadline.)
Please submit the following in ONE (1) electronic document:
Please submit the following in separate electronic documents:
Each proposal contains a face sheet listing the following:
The committee encourages concise (six double-spaced pages or fewer) statements addressing the following:
Proposals chosen for funding are generally granted between $5,000 and $7,000. While this is the average amount, the Committee may exceed these guidelines for projects that are deemed to have exceptional merit and specific need for resources. Most projects that are approved undergo a process of budget negotiation. The Committee will not consider funding those expenses that are expected to be borne within the individual school.
Projects that are approved are expected to be completed in a single academic year (including summer, if necessary). Multiyear proposals will be considered but are not encouraged. If submitted, multiyear projects should provide the budget requests for each year separately.
The budget should be broken down according to appropriate FAME chartfields. Relevant fringe benefits must be included for all personnel. The budget must indicate cost sharing and/or school resources that are being provided as well as the projected income from the program. Costs for activities such as photocopying, book purchases, materials, and resources that will be used in the project should be projected based on real costs rather than estimates that may not be based on fact.
ne criterion that will be considered is the degree to which the curriculum development project has the potential to be self-sufficient. How will the school incorporate the resources necessary for the project to become self-supporting? This section should be thoughtfully prepared based on realistic assumptions.
Successful proposals include thoughtful analysis. A well written budget justification demonstrates the planning that should accompany a project. Please provide justification for each budget item.
Projects that are successful include a carefully prepared budget, thoughtful allocation of CDCF resources, and a description of how the project will be institutionalized within the school. The spirit of the CDCF program is to provide startup funding to support innovative and creative ideas.
For assistance in preparing the budget, consult your dean's office or your school's office of funded research.
Submit each investigators' CV in a separate file.
The following items may be submitted electronically or on paper, in order to obtain the official signatures. (Please ensure any items sent separately from the proposal clearly indicate the name(s) of the principal investigator(s) and the project title:
Please submit your request for a statement of support to the dean of your school well in advance of the application deadline.
Submit your proposal and letter of support from your dean no later than December 12, 2014, to the following:

inexakt, but ungenau. Is this pure convention or are there any rules of thumb what prefix to choose when building an inversion of an adjective (for example pronunciation)?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

A pretty good rule of thumb is whether the word to be negated is a Fremdwort or not. Latin words are inverted with in-, Greek words are negated with a-, while typical German words are inverted with un-.
As usual, this is not a 100% rule. For example "Natur" is latin as well, but natürlich is negated to unnatürlich, because of the -lich suffix, which is typical for a German word.
Also note that you should avoid the un-prefix where possbile, for stylistic reasons. Almost all un-words can be expressed by an alternative word, without changing the rest of the sentence.
Some articles:
in- is used in Latin. Roughly: if the adjective has a Latin origin, we use in-, if not, we use un-.

The mission of the UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC) Human Cancer Virology (VR) Scientific Program is to advance the understanding, prevention and treatment of virus-associated cancers and other cancers. Specific human tumor viruses have been causally associated with at least 15-20% of all human cancers.
Program Leaders
The VR Program is advancing understanding, prevention, and treatment of virus-linked cancers and other cancers through fundamental and translational studies that encompass five of the seven well-established human tumor viruses. Program members are defining the mechanisms by which human tumor viruses replicate, maintain chronic infection, and promote tumor induction and maintenance; determining the progressive, genome-wide molecular changes in the development of virus-associated tumors; identifying viral and cellular biomarkers for improved tumor diagnosis, prognosis and treatment selection; and using their results to develop new approaches to prevent and treat tumor virus infection and oncogenesis. To achieve their goals, Program members collaborate extensively intra- and inter-programmatically, and integrate novel, synergistic approaches using cell culture, mouse models based on transgenes and patient explants, and large collections of relevant human tumor samples.

Does 130 Pitches Spell Future Doom?
Last Tuesday, Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw tossed 132 pitches in a brilliant, 11-strikeout performance against the Nationals. But considering high-pitch outings have caused much controversy the past few years, this presents a scary question for Dodgers fans: Was this outing a sign of Kershaw's grittiness or a harbinger of doom?
Looking at a list of the last 10 different pitchers to throw 130 or more pitches in a game, the results suggest Kershaw will be OK—but perhaps only for just the short-term. There has been little evidence to suggest that Kershaw will feel any lingering effects in his next start—albeit using this small sample size. The combined data on the eight follow-up starts we could use (Wainwright's start was his last of the season and Kershaw's follow-up is tonight in Milwaukee) is a pleasing 5-1 record with a 3.53 ERA and 1.20 WHIP.
However, the much more disturbing element of the list is that it's almost a Who's Who of "Once Really Good Pitchers Who Later Experienced Major Arm Trouble." Johan Santana's career has been as good as over since his no-hitter last June 1st where he threw 134 pitches—he is currently out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in April. The list includes three other major shoulder surgeries (Chris Carpenter, Roy Halladay, Chris Narveson) and a major elbow surgery (Wainwright). Tim Lincecum and Brandon Morrow have had their share of injuries and injury whispers as well.
To be sure, teams are more aware of high-pitch outings than ever. As recently as 2003, there were 26 starts of at least 130 pitches. In 2012, there were three. Kershaw's is the only one so far in 2013.
