I have a list of people. Totally around 200.
I need to display the people's name, pictures and some other information in one page. Users could sort those people by name, country and other attributes.
What's the best design pattern for this design?
I have a list of people. Totally around 200.

What's the best design pattern for this design?
I also agree with @exizt. It depends on the context. What do you want to achieve? To give you a really helpful recommendation we need to understand why you want to use this people list.
This list of people you were talking about, is it the result of a search process or is it there by default?
Some examples:
Update: Found an anti pattern today: http://re-publica.de/11/speaker
It shows how you definetley should not design a list if your audience is looking for a brief overview without searching for a specific name.
My goal: I want to get an overview about the speakers of the conference, where they came from and what qualifies them to be a speaker there.
My need: Name, recent projects plus short summary about personal milestones/achievements, picture.
Why the design fails (at least for me): Loading this page I immediately recognize that the conference might be a good one, since there are so many national and international speakers (maybe this was the most important requirement they wanted to meet). But, if I don't know the person showing just a picture and the name, doesn't tell me anything. So I end up clicking on every single picture, loading a completely new page to find out more details. This solution is neither efficient to use nor do I enjoy exploring the speakers.
It really depends on the context, but I'm pretty sure a table will suffice.
As long as the pictures are relatively small, I agree with @exizt. How small is small? I'd say that 50px for entire height of table row is a reasonable cutoff.
If pictures are large, then card view comes to mind, but I don't know of an easy way to sort that. So in that case I'd go with a master-detail relationship - a sortable table with basic textual data, and the picture with the rest of the info in some preview panel on the side or below the table. The way email clients present emails for example.
I would say either a ul with li elements containing vcard formatted span tags representing the Name, Address and other attributes. You could also use a definition list with a dt having the name (if that is the primary identifying info) and dd having the spans with vcard info.
Using a table for contact information is too heavy, especially if you don't have any quantitative data (how many stack overflow answers a contact submitted, for example).
While i would definitely go for the table, it has the advantages of inherently being sortable, serving as a filter, ... If you use some kind of excel-ish table.
Otherwise what about an accordeon? If you have little information in the top, e.g. name, birthdate, something; and fold open to see the rest?
I think i still prefer the overview of a table, in one look there is more to see.

With the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl kicking-off in less than 30 minutes many restaurants plan to have a crowd this evening.
Local restaurants hope fans will brave the weather and come watch the game.
As the toppers are suiting up for the game in Detroit the snow has fallen in Bowling Green, and several WKU fans are bundling up inside several local restaurants preparing for the game.
"I've been watching them play since I was little," WKU fan, Billy Swayze says.
For Swayze watching football from his favorite restaurant is most important.
And as the Toppers are preparing to take on Central Michigan, he's right in front of a flat screen at Lost River Pizza.
"I think there is going to be a lot of people in here so it's going to be a good game," Swayze says.
"Right now, we have over forty reservations, we are taking reservations for a seat, we'll hold it for you for game time," Lost River Pizza Head Chef, Andy Henderson says.
For Henderson, seeing a crowd for any WKU game is good news.
While serving customers is important, as a lifelong fan, Henderson will definitely be rooting for his team.
"I'll be peeking my head through the window just to watch the game and making sure that Western is doing as good as I expect them to do. We're really pumped about them and we employee a lot of Western students, so of course everyone is going to have their eyes on the screen," he says.
With a staff filled with Hilltopper fans, Henderson can't deny how much he is ready for the big game.
"Very much excited. We've never seen this before. Western being in a bowl game, Division 1, since they got inducted," he says.
Henderson expects a packed house at Lost River Pizza tonight with all eyes on the on the Toppers.
The Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl will air tonight on ESPN at 6:30.
Don't forget to watch WBKO at 10 later tonight for a full recap of the game.

What Makes a College Catholic? (a question for educators)
Thank you for some insightful comments. Here's another short contribution, followed by a call for your input. I'd like to continue the conversation, albeit in a slightly different vein.
Many of you are familiar with the Cardinal Newman Society. Some of you mentioned it in your comments. In an article from the CNS website entitled "Colleges Need Better Measures of Catholic Identity, Study Finds," I found this claim:
"Catholic families should be able to hold Catholic educators accountable, with meaningful information," said Patrick J. Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society, which commissioned the study. "That requires research that assesses whether students at Catholic colleges are growing in the Catholic faith—and not some undefined spirituality."
Parents holding Catholic educators accountable? What would this look like, exactly? How would it affect the process of intellectual inquiry and instruction? What about academic freedom? I'm happy to hear from students and parents, but this is really directed to Catholic educators: What are your thoughts about being "held accountable" by "Catholic families"?

"I'm happy to hear from…parents, but this is really directed to Catholic educators…"
Oh, the irony! The Cardinal Newman Society wants to know what a Catholic University is? Hoot of the year!!!!
I went to a secular college in which we were required as freshman to read selections from Newman's "Idea of a University" which set the standard about hearing and disputing all sides of a the great human issues -- and that means *all* sides no matter how upsetting to some kids (and other faculty members). True, *every* student has a right to hear the Catholic side of important issues, and courses in Catholic colleges which do not present the Catholic sides (plural) are short-changing their kids. But they must also present the opponents if they're to live up to Newman's standards.
Sadly, for the CNS, academic freedom is freedom *from* real dispute. Theirs is the old "The Church ays it, I believe it, that settles it" slogan. They're the Catholic fundamentalists, and Newman would notdoubt disown them.
Patrick J. Reilly's comments raise some interesting questions.
Legally, the board of trustees holds the responsibility for the Catholic university (or college).
But how could parents hold the board of trustess accountable for the Catholic university (or college)?
Reilly mentions research that assesses whether students at Catholic colleges [or universities] are growing in the Catholic faith."
But do researchers understand how to conduct such assessments?
Does Reilly mean that the students are growing in their knowledge and understanding of the doctrines and tenets of the Catholic faith? Have any researchers developed a Catholic religious understanding inventory that could be used as an instrument to measure and assess the students' Catholic understanding?
Or does he mean that the students are growing in their practice of the Catholic faith? Have any researchers developed a Catholic religious practices inventory that could be used as an instrument to measure and assess the Catholic religious practices of the students?
Clearly the research design for making such assessments would involve pre- and post-tests to be taken by the students when they enter the Catholic college or university and then again when they graduate.
But what if the research assessments do not show that the students are growing in their Catholic faith?
What should the board of trustees do if that were the case?
I know, I know, further study is needed.
Parents holding Catholic educators accountable? What would this look like, exactly?
Structurally, it might look like more like a democratic institution!! Oh nooooo......I know universities teach democracy, not live it!
Funding would be tied to satsifaction and evaluations done by parents. Parents being on committees which are responsible for tenure and advancement. Criteria determined by a committee composed of faculty, parents and student.
I kind of suspect that the many, many adult or otherwise financially independent university students would probably just prefer that Uggs McFreshman's mom and daddy not be the ones judging who is and isn't fit to teach college classes.
Not an "educator", professional or otherwise, but I was a government organizational trainer. Both sides of the Catholic spectrum (and not just educators in the middle) would have to agree on definition of terms and their application to survey items. Would the CNS be willing to participate in such a project? I have my doubts.....
I'd say a Catholic college, besides offering the sorts of subjects that secular universities offer, must insist that Catholic teaching be presented fairly and in some depth, including ethics, theology and Church history. In the ancient tradition of Catholic universities, a Catholic university must also present important opinions which differ from those of the official Church. At the same time a Catholic college may offer systematic apologetics which consider the controversial issues of the day.
Reasoned argument about contested issues must be encouraged, never stifled. Ad hominem arguments on either side must not be allowed, and rhetoric, no matter how important the topic, must never be substituted for reasons. It is not the function of a Catholic university to be a sort of lay seminary which "forms" its students, and a Catholic university must respect everyone's conscience, though it cannot not agree with all of them. The school must make the sacraments and spiritual advising easily available to the students.
Catholic faculty will have the right to disagree with their students. Parents will not be allowed on campus except in case of medical emergency :-)
Any particular reason for CNS using the term "college" rather than "university?"
Apologies to Robert Geroux for sidetracking, but the whole idea of asking parents to assess Catholic education strikes me as utterly silly. Parents should be assessing the quality of their religious educations when they are children. But college students, except for a few freshman, are legal adults. Many are paying for their own educations. If Catholicity is to be assessed, oughtn't the students to do so as part of the course evaluation process? And if they should, exactly how would Catholicity be defined for them on the evaluation forms?
If you want to kill half an hour or so, visit ratemyprofs.com, type in the name of any Catholic college or university, and browse through what students say about theology profs. There is some complaint about adherence to Catholic doctrine in a few cases (one was called a heretic), but the majority of students seem to want professors who are personable, clear, and challenging (though there are legions who just want to bitch about the amount of work, the personal quirks, and cost of textbooks).
In any case, my read is that they don't need or want more CCD.
Sorry, "... asking parents to assess Catholic COLLEGE education ..."
This isn't exactly on topic, but it's an important part of the troubles with American colleges in general:
HIstorically American Catholic colleges have been strong in the Humanities, including theology and phlosophy, but the Humanities are under pressure everywhere and in most colleges they're are even in crisis. Gary Gutting of Notre Dame has an article about it in The NYT's The Stone, "The Real Humanities Crisis". His most surprising point: in spite of the claimed American rejection of socialism, American governments (state and federal) spend one TRILLION DOLLORS a year assisting the owners of sports organizations.
Gutting has suggestions for meeting the crisis, at least partially, including having the universities stop their money-losing athletic programs that include farm leagues for professional football teams. If the owners want farm leagues, they can pay for them. And they can also pay for their own sports stadiums.
(Sorry, the NYT won't let me give the address.) Just go to the NYT and look up Gary Gutting.
P. S. Did you know that on average more people go to museums on Sundays than go to sports events? Let the governments support the Humanities, not the already rich owners of athletic teams.
Don't understand your last comment. If more people go to museums, why would they need government assistance? Sounds self-contradictory.
Mark ==
The point is that people really are interested in the Humanities -- more than in sports, apparently. So instead of giving a hand to the NFL owners, the governments should help out the arts. Gutting points out that one state just spent $600M ($600 MILLION!!!!!!) on a stadium, but it's letting the best art museum in the state go bankrupt for the lack of $6 million. Doesn't make ANY sense at all -- it's just more corporate welfare in spades.
But Ann, interest is shown by how much money (which is a reflection of their time/labor) people will pay/donate for an encounter. If people are not will to pay for the museums they attend, the interest is not as great as you suggest. That's not an argument against government funding, per se, but you can't use broad/deep consumer interest as part of your argument. It it existed, government funding wouldn't be needed.
I hope I can be really rich one day, so that I can be really interested in things.
Hear, hear, Abe!
I suppose one has always had to pay for bread, but did the Romans charge admission to the circuses?
The bread was free, too!
Mark, Abe, and Mark --
Read Gutting's article. It's not just about cost of admission to museums -- it's about support of artists and other humanists generally, e.g., in the schools. Artists today, unlike in other cultures, cannot *afford to become artists* unless they hit it very big time!!
We need a separate thread on the crisis in the arts/Humanities. Badly.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, so if you're not paying for what you're consuming, you're feeding off someone else.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, so if you're not paying for what you're consuming, you're feeding off someone else.
That's just what Jesus said when he passed around those loaves and fishes. Oh, wait ...
Mark --
I agree with you about the free lunches. In fact, I suspect that one of the reasons that American end up buying mounds of junk to fill their houses is because they are rarely deeply satisfied with what they buy, and so they keep trying to find cheap stuff that will satisfy them -- instead of paying more for just a few really satisfying works. It's a false economy, as the ancients used to call such stinginess.
But college students, except for a few freshman, are legal adults.
I don't even know how my kid is doing in college unless he happens to feel like showing me his grades. The only lever I have is financial.
Ann Oliver: >We need a separate thread on the crisis in the arts/Humanities. Badly.
I had read the Gutting piece, and I agree that it covered more than just the economics of presentations. Just reacting to what I thought was a nice touch by Abe in response to the homo economicus framework for value.
I would be very happy to see this thoughtful group discuss the nature and extent of crisis in the arts and humanities. And that is coming from a scientist.
Mark L.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, so if you're not paying for what you're consuming, you're feeding off someone else.
The good citizens of Alameda County, CA, voted a few years ago to guarantee the owner(s) of the stadium where the Oakland Raiders play a certain level of profit. If the level is not achieved (I don't know who actually audits and evaluates the numbers to ensure that Al Davis is not effing the taxpayers) then the taxpayers pony up $$$.
There IS a free lunch and the poor slobs who think that they get it are really giving it to the team's owner(s).
Mark L. ==
There's been a lot of talk in the academic press lately about the crisis in the Humanities. As I see it it's so complex it will take years of discussion to even begin to see the problem(s) clearly and all the causes and hopefully possible cures. The problems involve, I think, the necessity for various sorts of schools, educational standards, the problems with the arts themselves in our sensate culture, the loss of respect for religion, the question of who shall support the Humanities, and, of course, what values the Humanities have in the first place.
But the conversation needs to begin somewhere. (We might begin with the differences between sciences, arts, and history.)
Mark L. ==
As a scientist, why do you think that it would be good at this point to talk about the Humanities and the arts?
Because much, pushing most, of what I value in the world revolves around how humans interact with each other, symbolically (i.e., as and through art) and socially (which I take to be the realm of the humans in humanities). How we see ourselves and deal with our communities – and with those outside our communities - has profound effects on how we interact with the physical world (and all that dwell therein). And our physical world, conversely, affects how we act within our communities.
I am a geologist.

Interesting that your interest seems to be focused on communal values. Might that be due to your scientific background? In the eiteenth century when modern science really took off, much of the cutting edge science was funded by rich men who were simply curious and could afford their own telescopes,laboratories and whatever. Individuals could afford to go their own way. Nowadays research simply costs too much for individual scientists to follow their own inclinations, so science is often a much more communal process.
The arts today continue in their individualistic bent. Are they better off for it? I wonder. I find much contemporary poetry, for instance, to be totally fractured in structure and incomprehensible because of it -- one floating phrase and clause after another with little if anything to unite the cloudlets of meaning. One can't tell what a poem is about unless the poet supplies some notes about his own particular meanings of the metaphors employed. So much of it is concerned only with the thoughts and feelings of the individual poet. The poetry of the Me generation??
Yes, there's still a lot of poetry about nature, but it seems to be largely about the poets emotional reaction to bits of nature here and there at different instants of time, about nature itself as ephemeral. (Not that i"ve read all that much contemporary stuff. The opportunity to self publish is vast by comparison with previous ages.)
As a geologist you must be especially aware of how interesting a long and wide view can be. The fractured world-views of today's poets could learn a lot from you.
Dear Ann,
I started collecting rocks and fossils when I was a boy – a solitary pursuit, but I read of the 1920's expeditions of American Museum of Natural History to the Gobi Desert and imagined myself riding camels to look for dinosaurs and fending off attacks by bandits. But the die was cast in the fall of 1967 when I found Professor H.D. Holland and the Department of Geological and Geophysical Sciences at Princeton. Dick invited me to morning coffee, where I met a dozen grad students, faculty, and staff. They taught me that the key to being a geologist was simply making the commitment to do my best to be a good one. I was welcomed into the sort of community of scholars (also loads of fun) that I had imagined the University to be. And of course, it was a liberal-arts college for us as undergraduates, so we did languages, literature, history, religion, and art in addition to of maths and science classes. Dick Holland, a refugee as a young boy on kindertransport from Germany, was a man of great breadth and culture, a window into a world that had died entirely.
But the attachment to the arts and humanities started in my childhood, too. Mom and Dad both were English teachers. Mom was a fine musician, and there was much music in our home. Dad was a lover of Marcus Aurelius and Shakespeare, and we spent more time in museums than at ball parks (though Dad loved to listen to baseball on the radio while working in his garden). Oh, yes: he also was a regular volunteer in a Catholic Workers community, and he often brought us along to lend a hand and listen.
The long, wide views of which you write are at the very center of geology, and for me they finally led to my chance to visit the South Gobi (four times, so far!), including weekend side trips to Flaming Cliffs. As Andrews wrote in the last lines of his autobiography: "Always there has been an adventure just around the corner – and the world is still full of corners."
I hope we can find some threads to pursue the issues of the importance of the humanities and art, and in fact their relationship as part of our total culture to science. Mong those issue sif the threat scientism poses to our broad culture, imo.

Mark --
How fortunate you were to have the parents you did, as was I. Both my parents were interested in art, and my mother was a science teacher. Your Princeton education was, of course, well-balanced in the Humanities and sciences. Which leads me to ask why in the blankety-blank-blank-blank don't the dumb non-Ivy colleges catch on to the fact that one of the reasons the Ivies turn out such fine products (to speak the language of the day) is because the Ivy curricula still include a lot of the sciences, math and the Humanities and not a lot of specialized "professional" trash courses you find so often in lesser schools these days. Actually, when I was young the non-Ivies also had more of the Humanities courses. Not today.
About long and wide world-views, Pope Francis has some interesting (if somewhat weird) things to say about that in E.G:
"222. A constant tension exists between fullness and limitation. Fullness evokes the desire for complete possession, while limitation is a wall set before us. Broadly speaking, "time" has to do with fullness as an expression of the horizon which constantly opens before us, while each individual moment has to do with limitation as an expression of enclosure. People live poised between each individual moment and the greater, brighter horizon of the utopian future as the final cause which draws us to itself. Here we see a first principle for progress in building a people: time is greater than space.
"223. This principle enables us to work slowly but surely, without being obsessed with immediate results. It helps us patiently to endure difficult and adverse situations, or inevitable changes in our plans. It invites us to accept the tension between fullness and limitation, and to give a priority to time. One of the faults which we occasionally observe in sociopolitical activity is that spaces and power are preferred to time and processes. Giving priority to space means madly attempting to keep everything together in the present, trying to possess all the spaces of power and of self-assertion; it is to crystallize processes and presume to hold them back. Giving priority to time means being concerned about initiating processes rather than possessing spaces. Time governs spaces, illumines them and makes them links in a constantly expanding chain, with no possibility of return. What we need, then, is to give priority to actions which generate new processes in society and engage other persons and groups who can develop them to the point where they bear fruit in significant historical events. Without anxiety, but with clear convictions and tenacity."
Francis himself was a chemistry major. Hmmm.
Dear Ann,
Good and competent parents are blessing, certainly. As also with my being born in the United States and to several rings of privilege, I had no control over the parents to whom I was born, and so can be happy, but not proud in the simple-minded sense. Great opportunities were presented to me, throughout all of my life, really, quite independently of my personal merit.
When I was an undergraduate, geology was seen and treated as a part of the tradition of liberal education. Not only in terms of the distribution requirements for which we were responsible, but also in the context in which we learned our science. There were only nine majors in my class – 5 went on in geology, and the other four went to medicine (2), law (1), and the Protestant ministry (1). I am not confident that the notion of a geology major as a form of liberal education (encompassing the arts and sciences) is still the faculty model at Princeton. In fact, I am quite sure it is not – the entire driving force for faculty at the "research" universities is very different, as you know. I have had a 20+ year conversation with my Department about these matters, but my approach is clearly descendant. Which is a problem. [As, too, is the cost of a Princeton education - $45,000/yr if one were paying the full freight; and that accounts (we are assured) for very large subsidies through the endowment and allowances for overhead costs taken out of all contracts.]
I enjoyed the selections from Pope Francis that you provided. "Time and process" is a central insight from geology. Of course the absolute magnitudes of some properties are very large, but the rate of change in the system is very small almost all the time, punctuated (think earthquakes or volcanic eruptions) by short-period "catastrophes", from which new conditions the Earth slowly relaxes. Francis' emphasis on time and process as important and proper, versus space (as he uses it) and power, seems to me a classically conservative viewpoint. It is the proponents of "space" and power who are the radicals, surely.
Thanks very much for this engagement!

I wonder how strong the notion of a liberal education continues to be in the Ivies. The matter has international importance now that some of them have established satellite schools in foreign countries. Would that they could eventually teach the Chinese and Muslims about the need for freedom and respect for rights and the philosophies those ideas rest on. But our cultures are so very, very different, even though we share a great deal of intellectual history with some of the Muslims.
As for Francis, yes, I agree that he's being metaphorical in his use of 'space" and "time". He says outright that "time" is greater than "space"(the unchanging), and he seems at times to value time (change) the most. So I think he's inclined more to liberalism than conservatism. But he's not entirely consistent about it. In another section he's very emphatic that the *real* (the actual, the here and now) is paramount in some way. Saying that change (time) should go slowly is perhaps his way of "harmonizing" space and time. Interesting perspectives anyway.
I'm sure what he said about the necessity for change must have struck terror in the hearts of some of the people in the Vatican :-)
Mark --
To get back to your point about who pays and who should pay for what. You seem to be assuming that if the people who go to museums decided not to go then they could afford to send their kids to college. Nonsense.
But the problem isn't the museum admission, the problem is this: hardworking people can't afford to send their kids to college because the super-rich now take an obscene amount of the profits. Yes, the mimimum wage should be raised for the poor, but the wages of the middle class have also gone down in real terms even though the middle class is more productive than ever.
The super-rich are turning the middle class middle-aged and younger folks into poor folks. (No, not the *older* middle class people like you and me, but the middle aged and younger.) That's why college is fast-becoming an impossibility for many, many lower middle class kids, and the middle class is also affected.
The reason the Humanities are important in all this is because there are certain classic questions about human life and human potentials that need to be considered in depth if an individual is to even begin to actualize his/her potentials. And to answer those questions the students need history and, I'd say, psych and some other social sciences.
College is not the only way to get a grounding in the Humanities, but it is the most effective way for most people to begin. And, yes, some of the basics of the Humanities need to be part of pre-college. See the Common Core Curriculum thread for some of the problems there. Yes, half the problem there is about language, lit, history, and critical thinking, not to mention ethics, and theology. (I, unsurprisingly, would make a bit of philosophy/logic part of the high school curriculum.)
Dear Ann,
To the extent that the Ivies any longer subscribe to the notions of "liberal education," they would do well to concentrate on what that means in their own context. But of course, not only are they "research universities" with all that implies in terms of both content and funding, but they are "world leaders," and so drawn to opportunities elsewhere. How their own undergraduates fare, is no longer a central concern for a large portion of the faculty, who are consumed by other concerns (starting with how to obtain tenure, and for their administrators, how to manage cash flows from the overhead charges on research).
The Muslims I know best are Malinke subsistence farmers along the edge of the Sahel in West Africa (Guinée du Nord). [I do not know the Islam of the regions near the Arabian/Persian Sea at all by personal experience.] For the Malinke, the ideals of the Enlightenment are not only unknown, but probably not very well suited to their circumstances; our "post-Modern" interpretataion of those traditions are even more poorly suited. The Islam of "peace, purity, submission and obedience", the most common meanings of "salema", have deep and strong roots because they provide a coherence with the world in which they live – they provide for a community in a land where only a community can survive. Interestingly (to me), many of the instances commonly shown here of the suppression of women do not exist there: women are active in community discussions and decision-making, speak to men, including even strange infidels, openly, and are not covered. [That is not quite exact: all women who have reached puberty wear a cloth in their hair, but it is highly colored and does not at all cover all the hair, much less obscure the face.] In public meetings on the villages, women sit in the front and speak first – for both men and women, elders always speak first of course. Lovely people.
The most essential tool of liberal education – in my view, of course – remains respectful discussion, the commitment to listen first and then to try to weave new ideas we have just heard into the web of beliefs that guide our lives. We have largely lost this habit in America, I am afraid. [The dotCommonweal group does it as well as anyone I have seen recently.]

I've been wondering what effects all those satellite schools in other countries have been having on the mother schools here. (Sorry about that really bad mixed metaphor :-) If I had a kid at Duquesne, for instance, I'd really wonder what the school was doing spending all that effort and money in some foreign country. Harvard, no doubt, can afford some expansion, but even so, what does that do to Harvard College?
Which brings up the whole question: how big can a college be and still retain the virtues of collegiality? And the same question arises in ecclesiology, no doubt, and returns us to the nature of a Catholic college (not to mention grad school).
I suspect that as world population getter larger and larger, these questions of communication will loom larger and larger. (We really have to start thinking again about the sheer size of the human race.)
Your concern about how sheer size of groups affects their behavior (and their understanding of what might make their group a community) is very important. And little understood. My personal experience is that there are break-points (or at least inflections) in most organizations beyond which not only must the manner of organization change, but at which it often is seen that people who were successful at leading in the smaller system are not well suited to leading in the larger.
We know this in education – certainly it is clear that lectures, tutorials, and one-on-one discussions with one's mentor are three very different exercises, for students and for teachers. We can imagine that, for a first course in organic chemistry, there is a large body of mostly routine information that all students must learn, and much of this can be effectively covered in a large lecture class (or an internet course). However, synthesizing organic compounds must be learned at the bench, through trial and error with some advice and supervision by an experienced instructor. In terms of the humanities, we might cover cultural history of France during the 19th-20th centuries in a series of lectures and smaller class sections to discuss the readings, but someone who is a fluent speaker must work with us individually to master the spoken language. I can repeat words or phrases back to the computer, but unless it is something much more sophisticated than I ever used, it will not help me form my mouth to distinguish the sound of "-u-" from the sound of "-ou", and so no one will mistake me for a native speaker.
The issues affect us, too, as a nation. 310 Million people, amalgamated now from a hundred nations of origin, and spread across a continent and in contact (at the speed of light) with billions of others: this is a very different situation than the circumstances of a comparative handful of 18th Century men, from a very homogenous background in England, and clinging to a the eastern seaboard. Even supposing we could discern the "orginal intent" of the Constitution, do we suppose that Madison, Hamilton, Adams, and the others would have supposed that their intent in 1780 was to remain unchanged as the world grew and changed?

I know there are a lot of possible factors that go into determining the size of the air-conditioning system a house needs. Is there a standard way of calculating what is needed, or do A/C companies each devise their own method? Is there a guide somewhere to aid a home-owner in figuring it out?
You'll want to check out the ENERGY STAR Air Conditioning Sizing Calculator.
To roughly calculate the required BTU output of an air conditioner you will need to total up the results of six calculations.
Add all of these numbers up to determine the BTU output required of the air conditioner (Source).
You could also use a site like this Air Conditioner Sizing Worksheet to make the calculations.
It probably depends on climate as much as it does the square footage of your house but the general rule is one ton for every 400-500 square feet of house. There are a ton of other factors like vaulted ceilings and if you have dual pane windows and if you have 2x6 construction and therefor more insulation in the walls but for the most part none of that is going to factor into the unit. It goes more like this:
I think you need to look at the Discover Ways for Air Conditioner Sizing in order to get an idea of the size of the AC unit.
Two out of three suggested methods include Manual J which is exact science - but not many contractors want to do it for free.
There's a ton of variables:
A good HVAC pro will be able to do the proper calculations for you.

Who owns your Facebook photos?
Don't Waste Your Money
If you have a Facebook account, chances are you post photos of yourself, your kids and your pets.
But who now owns those photos? People we asked, like mom Sarah Smith, were unsure. "No, I have no idea who owns them," the mother of two said.
Others we spoke with had no idea about who has the rights to their photos.
Laurie Fromeyer says she doesn't post her images, period.
"I would be really careful of the pictures I posted of my children," she said.
Fine Print Takes Your Rights Away
A new report on the tech site Mashable says by joining Facebook, you give the site "permission to use your photos and videos for whatever it wants."
You still own your image, but Facebook can share it as it sees fit.
Mashable says Twitter and Instagram have similar terms.
Mommy blogger Andrea Surrey told us earlier this year she requests that others don't show her children in their posts.
"I have asked my friends a few times, hey don't put this on Facebook!
What You Can Do
So how can you protect your pictures and your family?
- First, assume everything you post is public.
- Then, set your Facebook page so that only your friends can see what you post.
- Think twice about what photos you post, especially if young children are in them.
- Don't post the name of a young child with your family photos online. Use just your name.
But remember: Whatever you put up, it's still Facebook's photo.
"Of course, I mean you put it out there and it's out there for everyone to see," said Libby Nealy. "So I'm very cautious."
Smart move: watch what you post, and assume it's no longer yours once you put it up.
That way, you stay safe and don't waste your money.

Algebraic geometry allows one to think of an $A$-module $M$ geometrically as a module of functions on the $A$-scheme $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathrm{Sym}(M))$.
I'm wondering if anything is lost in just replacing $M$ by this geometric object. Since nothing is lost in taking $\mathrm{Spec}$, this amounts to asking:
(1) Can two non-isomorphic $A$-modules $M$ , $N$ have isomorphic symmetric $A$-algebras $\mathrm{Sym}(M)$ ,
(Clearly they are not isomorphic as graded $A$-algebras.)
If the answer is "No", great! If "Yes", I would like to see a specific example.
It may be interesting to have a second interpretation, even if it doesn't help solve the problem. Since we have the adjunction (of set-valued functors)
$hom_{A-alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(M),B) \simeq hom_{A\mathrm{-mod}}(M,B),$
by Yoneda's lemma, an equivalent question would be:
(2) If the (set-valued) functors $hom_{A-\mathrm{mod}}(M,-)$ and $hom_{A-\mathrm{mod}}(N,-)$ agree on $A$-algbras, do they agree on $A$-modules?
Edit: I emphasized "set-valued" above, thanks to a comment from Buzzard. Also, partially in response to Mark Hovey's comment, I removed "Is it safe to think of modules geometrically" from the quesiton statement, since I don't want to assert that this is "the correct" geometric interpretation of a module.

Every person should learn how to be mindful with regards to their health. Even if you are not an athlete and your life is rather average, this doesn't mean you should skip workout and healthful foods. It's when you have inactive lifestyle, in fact, that you need to be more mindful with everything you take and drink. For instance, it could be too easy for you to survive on takeout and unhealthy food, but just what will an excessive amount of salt and a lot of sugar do for the body? You can develop a number of ailments such as diabetes and kidney problems.
Though an excessive amount of salt is harmful to the body, you still have to consume some of this. For starters, it is a good source of iodine, particularly if it's iodized salt. So beneficial is salt in giving iodine that believe it or not, in some goiter-heavy areas using salt is required to the diet. But precisely why do you need iodine? This nutrient will help the thyroid gland create thyroxin hormone. This hormone may help the body metabolize, thus leading to better efficiency and overall health for the body. Goiter builds up when the glands become enlarged due to overexertion, and it is due to the shortage of iodine to help them perform their job properly.
It's time for you to seek out the excellent sources of this mineral once you understand how essential iodine is to your metabolism. As dough conditioner, iodine used in bread was succeeded by bromide, which means that bread that had been an excellent source is lost. But there are many other foods rich in iodine for you to find, and they are all conveniently obtainable. The only thing you must do is look for them.
If you're apprehensive about your health, you could add a few slices of cheese to fill your iodine needs. Strawberries mainly have less than 50 calories, so it's really a fantastic substitute. Eggs are also good sources, though milk has twice all the iodine as eggs. Around 50% of your required daily usage of iodine is already provided by yoghurt, and the remaining should really be simple to acquire.
Very good sources of iodine which were not processed are sea vegetables. For your everyday dose of iodine, you could buy seaweed and put it in salads. To provide a unique flavor to your dishes, a particular type of seaweed called kombu, which happens to be an excellent source, could be combined with soups, stews, casseroles, and beans. Even fish as well as shellfish can supply you with this. Be sure to find some cod, fish sticks, tuna, and shrimp the next time you shop for groceries. Some other sources in addition to that may include boiled macaroni, chocolate ice cream, raisin bran cereal, canned corn, lima beans, green peas, apple juice, and bananas.
Because this stops the body from getting adequate iodine, make certain you get bromide-free bread though many of them are stated to have iodine. While processed meals are decent sources of iodine, this does not cause it to be okay to consume largely these everyday. It's really worth noting while you're in the hunt for a variety of food sources that the preparation of meals could boost iodine. Refrain from going overboard in your usage simply because that is bad for the body.

Cristian Conejero Roos '03
Going Global
As a junior associate at the Chilean firm of Claro y Cía., Cristian Conejero Roos '03 LL.M. was appointed to serve as local counsel in a shareholder dispute between the owner of a Chilean brewery and one of its German partners—a case with daunting financial implications.
"That was really my first contact with a true international arbitration case," Conejero Roos recalls. "But I felt that it was the perfect [opportunity] because I was able to use my litigation skills and at the same time get to know the world of international transactions."
Conejero Roos decided to further his study of international arbitration by pursuing his LL.M. at Columbia Law School. After graduating, he spent a year as a foreign
associate in the New York office of Shearman & Sterling and then joined the International Chamber of Commerce's International Court of Arbitration in Paris as counsel for Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. Over the next four years, as Conejero Roos built up his French language skills, he handled roughly 800 cases.
Conejero Roos left the ICC more than a year ago to become of counsel in the Madrid office of Cuatrecasas. "It was clear that I wanted to be at the ICC a certain number of years to learn the skills," he says. "At some point, it was a natural move to go back to private practice." In his new endeavor, Conejero Roos splits his time between Madrid and Paris and is exploring other fields of practice, like investment arbitration.

I'm trying to find all $x$ for the inequality $\frac{2x - 13}{2x + 3} \lt \frac{15}{x}$. In order to do this, I want to factor one side so that I can find all values where $x$ determines the term to equal $0$.
$$\frac{2x - 13}{2x + 3} \lt \frac{15}{x} \iff \frac{x(2x - 13) - 15(2x+3)}{x(2x + 3)} \lt 0$$
$$\iff \frac{2x^2 - 13x - 30x - 45}{2x(x + \frac{3}{2})} \lt 0 \iff \frac{x^2 - \frac{43}{2}x - \frac{45}{2}x}{x(x + \frac{3}{2})} \lt 0 $$
$$\iff \frac{x^2 - \frac{43}{2}x - \frac{45}{2}x}{x(x + \frac{3}{2})} \lt 0 \iff \frac{(x - \frac{43}{4})^2 - \frac{1939}{4}}{x(x+\frac{3}{2})} \lt 0$$
I don't know how to get any further, and I'm starting to get too high values to handle.
The next step as I can see would be to find an $x$ that makes $(x - \frac{43}{4})^2 = \frac{1939}{4}$. This, alongside the obvious ones for $x$ and $x+\frac{3}{2}$ (creating division by $0$), would help me find the possible values for $x$.
But how do I get the last step? Or am I already dead wrong?


text: Some of you may be overjoyed to see this next lesson because I know how popular Barbie is to so many people. I don't know if you know, but there is a new Barbie movie that is in the store called 'Barbie and the Pink Shoes'. I really wanted to by the movie for my sister because she is a big fan of Barbie's movies. It's weird because even though she likes all of the Barbie films, she doesn't like playing with Barbies at all. She doesn't even like collecting all the nice cloths or different themed scenes accessories. Anyways, drawing Barbie is going to be very exciting because she has been an idol to so many little girls in the world. This is for those of you that are still addicted to Barbie and loves it. I will be back with other fun tuts so come back around or just stay put. Adios people!

how to add title to tab bar
I wanna add a title to tabBar but I couldn't find a config option for this problem. Do you know any solution or trick? Thanks for your help

I am using tabPanel for listing meals. I have two tabs called Diet and Normal, they are located at the right side of tabBar. I want to display the date at the center of the tabBar
14 Jul 2011 10:30 PM #4
You can't do that.
Change your tab panel to a standard panel with card layout.
Add a docked toolbar with two buttons aligned right with handlers for changing the cards and the title property set to a formatted date string.
If you want your toolbar buttons to appear more like tabs, then you'll have to modify the CSS after you change the icon position.
29 Oct 2012 1:09 PM #5
Yes, you can
I have achieved this by using a spacer:
{ xtype: 'tabbar', docked: 'bottom', items: [ { title: 'September 2012', iconCls: 'arrow_left', iconMask: true }, { xtype: 'spacer', style: 'color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center;', html: 'Oktober 2012', width: 200 }, { title: 'November 2012', iconCls: 'arrow_right', iconMask: true } ] }

A lot of the times when i bring a pineapple home and eat it, i get a semi-sweet and sour taste. How can you tell when is the right time to eat your pineapple to get very sweet pineapple meat?
Usually you can tell when Pineapples are ripen, which will be sweet, when
A typical pineapple that is bought green and unripen, takes one to two days to ripe well. Don't put them in the fridge if you want to ripe them. Keep them out on the counter. As a street food vendor, we always keep them in the truck for one night prior to selling, that ensure the pineapples ripe enough and the juice comes out of it.
Hope it helps.
First of all there are different types of pineapple: The difference between pineapple types.
Second you need to know how to pick the ripe ones: How to Select the Perfect Good Pineapple from the Grocery Store.

Which angels and fallen angels are named in the Bible. and what are they responsible for?
Sign up

There are only two angels mentioned by name in Scripture:
Other Angels appear in the OT (One to Manoah in Judges to announce the birth of Samson, three to Abraham in Genesis), but they are unnamed.
An angel has only one job, as implied by the name - they deliver messages.
When they are not doing this job, they are usually in the presence of the Lord, praising him and announcing his glory (Isaiah 6, Revelation)
Fallen Angels
Debatedly, the only fallen angel is Lucifier in Isaiah 14 - the "Star of Morning" who is the Devil.
One could also describe "Legion" as a demon in Luke 5 (at Genesseret), but that isn't a proper name, rather a collection of Demons.
@Affable Geek's right, but doesn't mention the Archangel Raphael as his tradition doesn't consider the book of Tobit scripture.
Since Catholics and Orthodox include this book, he's also one of the angels named in the Bible. His name means God Heals and he's the one who took Tobias on his journey and helped him heal his father's blindness. He's actually pretty awesome.
Also, in Catholic tradition (and other traditions), it was two angels who visited Abraham and Sarah, along with God.
Some Jewish traditions include Raphael and a few others, I can't comment on how ubiquitous those traditions are, you might want to ask on Judaism.SE.
I have been rereading many texts I thought I knew well, and finding new surprises. Revelation 9:11 (ESV) says: "They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon." And, we may not know until all things are revealed what the true roles of the angels actually are. But here is another named angel (other than Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer).
The source to the list of fallen presented from A-Z comes from "A Dictionary of Angels including the fallen angels" by Gustav Davidson and is considered one of the preminent sources on angels. The word "demon" comes from The words dæmon or daimôn which are Latinized versions of the Greek "δαίμων", a reference to the daemons of ancient Greek religion and mythology, as well as later Hellenistic religion and philosophy. Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves (see Plato's Symposium). Walter Burkert suggests that unlike the Christian use of demon in a strictly malignant sense, "[a] general belief in spirits is not expressed by the term daimon until the 5th century when a doctor asserts that neurotic women and girls can be driven to suicide by imaginary apparitions, 'evil daimones'. How far this is an expression of widespread popular superstition is not easy to judge… On the basis of Hesiod's myth, however, what did gain currency was for great and powerful figures to be honoured after death as a daimon…" [2] Daimon is not so much a type of quasi-divine being, according to Burkert, but rather a non-personified "peculiar mode" of their activity.
In Hesiod's Theogony, Phaëton becomes an incorporeal daimon or a divine spirit[3] but, for example, the ills released by Pandora are deadly gods, keres, not daimones.[2] From Hesiod also, the people of the Golden Age were transformed into daimones by the will of Zeus, to benevolently serve mortals as their guardian spirits; "good beings who dispense riches…[nevertheless], they remain invisible, known only by their acts".[4] The daimon of venerated heroes, were localized by the construction of shrines, so as not to restlessly wander, and were believed to confer protection and good fortune on those offering their respects.
Characterizations of the daemon as a dangerous, if not evil, lesser spirit were developed by Plato and his pupil Xenocrates,[2][dubious ] and later absorbed in Christian patristic writings along with Neo-Platonic elements.
In the Old Testament, evil spirits appear in the book of Judges and in Kings. In the Greek translation of the Septuagint, made for the Greek-speaking Jews of Alexandria, the Greek ángelos (άγγελος: "messenger") translates the Hebrew word mal'ak, while daimon (or neuter daimonion) carries the meaning of a natural spirit that is less than divine (see supernatural) and translates the Hebrew words for idols, foreign gods, certain beasts, and natural evils.[5] The usage of daimon in the New Testament's original Greek text, caused the Greek word to be applied to the Judeo-Christian concept of an evil spirit by the early 2nd century AD.
Satanists have used the word demon to define a knowledge that has been banned by the Church.
Wikipedia: Daemon (classical mythology)
Enoch 1 talks about the sons of God that mates with the daughters of man being the fallen host in hell. If you follow Revelations, the rebellious angels under Lucifer are still in Heaven awaiting Michael to release them for the war in Heaven to come to earth:
Satan means adversary in Hebrew and was either not the original name to the leader of the rebellious whether he be Lucifer or Sammael (who Rabbinic lore is the "Chief of Satans") or Satan is a title for a group of angels that leads the rebellious to fall. Let it be noted that Lucifer is included in Gustav Davidson's list of the fallen as #57 by alphabetical order though he was left out of the list posted a few posts before mine.
There are more then one fallen angel as Lucifer (the morning star) is a angel an he was the reason of the fallen because he wanted his own kindgom so therefore Jehovah banned him and any of the angels that agree with lucifer. He is the ruler of hell and it his job to test both humans and the fallen. Sammeal/Satan is the only archangel to fallen and he rules in hell as the prince. Ori was one Fallen it was his job to hell luicfer by killing any rouge demons. Also he was excellent at seducing both men and women. Gusion (fallen) was known for seeing the future, he was also Ori friend, it was said that he help Ori in battle against Sarteal. Sarteal (fallen) want to to rule hell instead of Lucifer.
Some of the fallen mated with humans and produced nephilim (half-angel half-human) There are seven archangels and they are 1. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who presides over clamer and terror 2. Raphael, one of the holy angels, who presides over the spirts of men 3. Raguel, one of the holy angels, who take vengeance on the world of the luminaries 4. Micheal, one of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and chos 5. Sarakiel, one of the holy angels, who is set over the sports, who sin in the spirt (and the only female archangel) 6. Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who is over paradise and the serpents and the cherubim 7. Remiel, one of the holy Angels, whom god set over those who rise - the book of Enoch 20:1-8 Therefore Micheal can't be a fallen.

In Gromov–Witten theory, if the symplectic virtual fundamental classes constructed by B.Siebert satisfy functorial properties, i.e., if $f\colon X\to Y$ is an appropriate map between symplectic manifolds $X$ and $Y$, then $f_*\colon [X]^{\rm vir}=[Y]^{\rm vir}$? In his paper constructing symplectic GW invariant, I didn't see he mentions this, so does anyone knows anything about this? Thanks!
This may be not the answer you want, but in algebraic geometry there are such results, particularly in the context mentioned in Kevin Lin's comment. They usually apply to virtual classes constructed from relative, not absolute, obstruction theories. Two of them I know of are a Lemma of Kevin Costello and (particularly pertinent for Lin's comment) Cristina Manolache's applications of her own virtual pullbacks.

I know a lot of you are not keen with Flickr but our group has grown to 500+ members posting 3500+ panoramas.
There are some very creative works displayed.
I know a lot of you are not keen with Flickr but our group has grown to 500+ members posting 3500+ panoramas.
There are some very creative works displayed.
Flickr continues to grow - now showcasing nearly 5000 panoramas with close to 750 members. There are some very creative works to include many "Tiny Planets".
Stop by and have a look.
We had some administration issues with our older Nodal Ninja Flickr group and had to move our Nodal Ninja Flickr Group.
I know a lot of you are not into the whole Flickr thing but many of you are.
The older NN group was approaching 1,000 members with a gallery of nearly 10,000 panoramas. We tried to work with Flickr and Yahoo to carryover the members and gallery but to no avail. So unfortunately we had no choice but to start from scratch. Already we have over 60 members with over 1,600 panoramas but have a long way to go to get to the level we were once at. We would encourage former and new Flickr group members to join and display your panoramas.
For a limited time all members receive free stuff
(see details on group page).
Congrats Bill,
to mee this means 1000 of confident customers. Without the longest thread on panoguide
I do have lots of panoramic photographs from CT, Las Vegas, Grand canyon, Texas and virtual tours in and around new england and texas area. shot with NN 5 on this link www.ihariharan.com. I love this tool. It's the best you could find in the market. Check out www.ihariharan.com to see more samples.

Is there a way to use Emacs to sync with Google Calendar and Google Contacts, ideally keeping a local copy so I can access them offline?
Unfortunately, I am unable to give a complete answer. All I have is advice about some possible paths to wander down.
The easiest route would be if the emacs-g-client that Gilles mentioned in the SU version of this question works. If that doesn't work, I would look into the following:
For integration with Google contacts there is Julien Danjou's script which you can see in action here:
For Google Calendar, I have a one way sync setup successfully. Emacs fetches my calendars at startup and transfers it in the emacs diary. This is then displayed by org-mode in the agenda, but you can set it up anyway you want.
For sending back to Google Calendar, I have yet setup anything as I don't need it that much. However, I think it would be pretty easy to have a function that adds an entry in the diary and calls googlecl to add an entry in your google calendar.
To fetch the calendars, I have the following in my .emacs (not that this is not my code, it comes from the org-mode mailing list, but I can't remember where I found it exactly):
Now, you can just call
To have org-mode display the diary entries in the agenda, just add
emacs-calfw can synchronize with calendars in iCal (

I tend to be a pretty thrifty person, so when a saw a Yahoo! article today spilling the beans on five items that have some of the highest price markups, I clicked to read more.
One item on the list I definitely avoid - minibar snacks. It's pretty ridiculous to pay $5 for a candy bar you can get for $.80 at the store. Snacks are quite important to my husband and I, so it's always a packing priority when we take a trip. When he tagged along to an MDA conference in Beverly Hills, he was quite proud to discover a CVS on Rodeo Drive! I came back from a training session to soda pop and M&Ms - it was awesome!
Celebrity perfumes also make the list - you're paying for a name! The article suggests shopping online (or I'd say a store like Gordmans) if you insist on wearing JLo or Beyonce's latest.
Precut veggies are a matter of convenience. The article says you'll often pay double for the luxury of not peeling and slicing yourself. Greeting cards are another high markup item. The article says they're often priced about 200% more than they cost to produce. But, hey, it's the thought that counts!
Rounding out the Top 5 list are brand-name pharmaceuticals. Get this - some have a 3,000% markup! And, according to the article, the U.S. Government Accountability Office says consumers saved $1 trillion over a 10-year period by using generics instead of brand-name drugs. Talk about motivation to ask the pharmacist for a generic alternative.
You can read further details on the list here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-major-markups.html. I'd love to hear what you have to add to the list - what do you think is worth the price and what are your secrets for cutting costs?

I need a program that will allow the user to input two numbers in the range of 1 to 120. The program would then take the two numbers and subtract the larger number from the smaller number. The number they equals would represent x in the equation .84x which would equal the % of the lower number then appearing. The percentage of the other number coming up would be 100% minus the percentage of the higher number coming up.
How to make a random number generator based off an equation.
it would be better if you give 2 arithmetic examples.
So say the first number they enter is "n" and the second is "x", its not possible to do % of "n" showing up equals .84(n-x) and then using the remaining percent for the second number x.

Knowing that giving a user a sudo's grace period right from the point when he/she login might be a security issue, I still think it will be a beneficial trade-off between security and usability in my setup.
The question is: how to do that? As far as I know, the sudo doesn't provide CLI for it.
I might somehow divert the gdm's typed password to something like
sudo false, but again: how to get hold of the provided by the user password in the plain text? Should I write a custom
pam module for it?
Or maybe it is better to immerse into implementation details of the sudo and as a root directly manipulate the timestamp database?

We are setting up a small, single PC office about 200 miles away. We plan on getting a cable internet connection but need some advice on a sufficient firewall. We would like to keep it under $100 if possible.
2 options we are considering are:
- Cisco RVS4000 (got some bad reviews)
- Linksys WRT120N (running DD-WRT)
We need the ability for VPN but other than that we don't need anything special. We just want to keep that PC as safe as possible but easily maintainable because most work will be done remotely.
What suggestions or solutions can you recommend for this application?

I need to find out how much disk space a single row is taking up in a table. I can then use this as an approximate to work out how much disk space I can recover by removing old unneeded data. Would I have to combine all of the columns in a single
SELECT statement, like so?
SELECT DATALENGTH([Id]) + DATALENGTH([Column1]) + DATALENGTH([Column2]) AS 'Size'
FROM [MyTable]
Or is there a better, more efficient way that I'm not aware of?
I have just noticed that if a column has a
NULL value, then I get
NULL as the result.

When import table from excel some data were loss. i was try to change field type but i cant solve this error. I have attached an example image to show the problem.
ArcGIS uses Microsoft technology to read Office formats, Excel and Access. The default is to read the first 8 rows to determine column datatypes. Changing this registry key forces the entire table to be read first. The infered datatypes and widths are much more accurate, especially for .csv.
typeGuessRows change to 0
A couple things to try:
The import isn't very smart and when it sees a number value for the field, it makes that field's type a number. Reordering may make it interpret the field as text. Notice that the field containing 'NA' values is interpreted as text. See if the first row contains 'NA'. If so, reordering such that the first rows has text in both fields should force it to interpret both fields as text.

Help with persistent file changes with Sencha Touch applications.
So essentially I am curious as to how to achieve this with my Sencha Touch application. My application includes a log-in form authentication and an aspect of the application allows the user to explore a list of documents/files which are hosted on the same server as the application and is unique to that specific user.
I want the user to be able to select the file within the application(commonly .pdf) and the device browser will choose or present a list of choices of third-party applications which will allow the user to view/edit the document(adobe reader, etc), assuming that Sencha doesn't have a utility which allows the user to view/edit PDF documents. Once the user has made any changes to the document and has closed and "saved" the document, the Sencha Touch application should return, bypassing the log-in form, and these changes should persist on any future occasions of opening the file.
Therefore, if the user chooses to re-open that document, he should see the same document that he had modified previously rather than a newly downloaded copy of that document from the server. What are the possible ways to achieve this, since I am fairly new to web applications?
I know that possibly with a normal mobile application, you can save the information locally on the device and choose to load the information from the device if it is available in storage, but I'm not sure how to achieve this with the Sencha Touch web application.

I think you are expecting too much. If the file will be on a remote server, you will need a server side script to handle saving and creating the PDF.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch
