Consider a set of $n$ points $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in \mathbb{R}^d$, for some $n \gg d$. Suppose $\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\} \subset C \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Say that a set of points $y_1,\ldots,y_m \in C$ covers $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ if $x_1,\ldots,x_m$ lie inside the convex hull of $y_1,\ldots,y_m$.
Are there known conditions under which a set of $n$ points has a cover of size $m$ in some set $C$, for $m$ much smaller than $n$? Clearly, if $C$ contains the $\ell_\infty$ ball of radius $\max_i ||x_i||_1$, then there is a cover of size at most $d$ (i.e. a scaling of the simplex) -- but what if $C$ is smaller? e.g. what if $C$ is only contains the infinity ball of radius $\sqrt{\max_i ||x_i||_1}$?
More generally, is there a literature that studies these kinds of problems?

John Kelly Conquers Fremont Lake In Wyoming
His 6 hour 37 minute effort in the high-altitude lake (7,418 feet) started as a dream years ago. "I have been thinking about making this swim for 4 years. I looked at Google Maps and plotted out how to site and navigate the swim at that time. I trained 1 to 2 hours a day for four years.
I swam it by English Channel rules, no wetsuit, no contact with boat or crew, no assistance in or out of water. The water temp was 58°F (14.4°C)."

The Other Shore follows world record holder and legendary swimmer Diana Nyad as she comes out of a thirty-year retirement to re-attempt an elusive dream: swimming 103 miles non-stop from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark cage. Her past and present collide in her obsession with a feat that nobody has ever accomplished. At the edge of The Devil's Triangle, tropical storms, sharks, venomous jellyfish, and one of the strongest ocean currents in the world, all prove to be life-threatening realities. Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...

"Mr. Daulton a Tory"?
Daniel was only thirteen when he showed up on the siege lines in December 1775 to serve in place of his older brother, who was sick and needed to go home. The brothers switched places again around the end of February 1776, so Daniel served less than three months of the siege. But his memories of those months are very vivid, probably because it was such a short, intense time. In December, I was able to use Daniel's memory of a password to date one of his anecdotes.
However, there's one detail I just can't find a match for. Apparently referring to Lechmere Point in Cambridge, Granger wrote:
I well recollect that on the Westerly part of this Point stood a very beautiful Seat, which belonged to a Mr. Daulton a Tory as I was informed with a beautiful Yard, Garden, Trees & Serpentine walks &c &c. But every thing had been cruelly mutillated by the Soldiers out of spite to Toryism.I can't find a prominent man named "Daulton" in this area. It's possible that Daniel heard or remembered the name wrong, or that it was garbled in transcription. Or that the estate he remembered was somewhere else. Or that I haven't searched for the right spelling variation. Still looking.

There hasn't been much to celebrate during this Chargers season, but punt returner Micheal Spurlock provided them with a highlight last Sunday.
Spurlock took a punt back 63 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, giving them their first punt return for a score since 2009 and sending them on their way to a 27-17 victory over the Jets. Spurlock has been named the AFC special teams player of the week as a result of his score, joining linebacker Donald Butler as the only weekly individual award winners for San Diego this year.
It's the third time Spurlock has won special teams player of the week. Each of his previous honors came as a member of the Buccaneers with the last one coming after Week 16 of the 2009 season. It's Spurlock's second career punt return and he has also taken two kickoffs back the distance over the course of his career.
The league also singled out Bengals punter Kevin Huber and Ravens kicker Justin Tucker as other nominees for this week's award.

YouTube as a Medium for ConversationPosted: May 30, 2008 Filed under: education, media | Tags: media youtube 1 Comment
Ever since I watched SNL's digital short, "Lazy Sunday" on YouTube, I recognized the fun potential of this online video thing. In time, YouTube would deliver other priceless moments. Try a Google search for "boom goes the dynamite" or "chocolate rain" to see what I'm talking about. I say, "priceless", with tongue firmly planted in cheek. YouTube moments are usually viewed within a certain frame of satire and in the spirit of lampooning the "everyone is a star" meme that this great Internet enables.
So, it was with a high level of interest that I decided to participate in an experiment to use YouTube to promote discourse and civic debate. The idea comes from some local independent filmmakers and several academics from Montana State University who ask a series of questions about the emerging video platform by creating a YouTube video. Among the questions asked: How are people thinking about the effects of YouTube on society? What is unique about this new age of video sharing? Is it just a game that kids play to create alter-egos to insult others? Are hate speech and acts of violence a necessary consequence of allowing free video sharing? Does YouTube have far wider implications for social justice, religion and disenfranchised groups?
But enough with my writing… It's all very meta, so have a watch and leave a comment if you have something to say.
Full details and descriptions available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWa0l-YxvO8.

Vaccinations are injections of antigens into the body. Once the antigens enter the blood, they circulate along with other cells, such B and T cells. B and T cells are white blood cells that help the body defend itself against foreign invaders.
As the antigens invade the body's tissues, they attract the attention of macrophages. Macrophages are non-specific scavengers, which in this case, engulf the antigens. The macrophages then signal the T cells that antigens are invading. The killer-type of T cells respond by attacking the invading antigen. Finally, the suppressor T cells stop the attack.
After a vaccination, the body will have a memory of an encounter with a potentially dangerous invader for a period of time, and hopefully have a better ability to fight it off if ever exposed to it again in greater numbers.

CAMFED to Chair UN Initiative for Girls Education
UNGEI is a partnership of organisations that includes United Nations agencies UNESCO and UNICEF and major donors to education including the UK, Sweden, Norway and the USA. As Lucy Lake, CAMFEDs Director of International Programmes and member of UNGEIs Global Advisory Committee explains below, this platform for CAMFED will allow the voice of young African women to inform the highest levels of policy and debate. It is their firsthand experience of poverty and exclusion that CAMFED and DFID will ensure is brought centre stage.
CAMFED works in Africa, and the lessons and findings of our programmes resonate around the globe. It is ground-breaking for an NGO which works on the frontline to be given the recognition and respect to work on an international body in this way. We are showing how the problem of girls exclusion from education can be tackled and are bringing new momentum to the cause.
The biggest priority for our chairship is to ensure that the resources committed internationally in the name of girls education are used to give this generation of girls the chance to go to school.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Arrelious Benn's 2012 season could be a coming to a premature end.
According to Mike Garafolo of the USA Today, Benn could be headed to season-ending injured reserve.
Benn did not practice with the Buccaneers on Wednesday as he is dealing with a shoulder injury that has kept him on the injury report the last three weeks. Benn was also unable to play during the preseason and missed the Buccaneers season opener against the Carolina Panthers with a knee issue. It was the injury to his shoulder that kept him out of Tampa Bay's Week 10 game against the San Diego Chargers.
Per Garafolo, the Buccaneers are expected to sign receiver David Douglas off the New York Giants practice squad. Douglas is apparently expected to fly to Tampa Bay Wednesday night to theoretically take Benn's place on the roster.
Benn has appeared in eight games for the Buccaneers this season and has recorded just four catches for 26 yards. He's also been the Buccaneers primary kick returner and has 13 returns for 306 yards on the year.

That's because performance keeps getting cheaper and labor to use that performance more expensive. Economic forces have always driven this way. Aside from list members and embedded systems coders, how many people still program in machine code eschewing an operating system (context switch time?) or subroutine calls (all that overhead to remember where to go back to, why not just jump). No, you're willing to accept some minor inefficiency (e.g. dynamic memory allocation, etc.) in exchange for much higher human productivity. And, in some cases, thanks to extremely smart compiler builders, the "machine generated code" is superior and faster than hand coded versions that do the same thing. Jim

CLINTON, S.C. - Morgan Johnson collected her fourth double-double of the season and Kerianne Blease acquired a game-high 20 points as the Blue Hose picked up their largest team point total of the season in a 79-53 victory over Coker at the Templeton Center.
The 26-point win is the largest margin of victory of the year for the Lady Blue Hose, who get back to .500 at 4-4 with the victory. Coker falls to 2-6 on the season with the loss.
Johnson garnered 12 points and 12 rebounds. The majority of Johnson's points came from the charity stripe where she was 6-for-7 on the evening.
The Marietta, Ga. native also mustered one steal and one assist in the game.
Blease was nearly perfect on the night, going 7-for-9 from the field and 4-of-5 from the free throw line.
The leading scorer for the Lady Blue Hose entering the game, PC's Amy Jones ended the win over Coker with 12 points and nine boards. The Brentwood (Ga.) School product tied her season high with seven assists.
Jones also doled out seven assists in Presbyterian's victory over Morris College earlier this season.
Lea Smith had a career night for the Lady Blue Hose in the win over the Cobras. The freshman from Marion, N.C. had a career-best 16 points in 23 minutes of action.
Presbyterian led the contest 41-23 at halftime and opened the second stanza with a Taylor Price layup that made the game 43-23.
The Cobras would get as close as 15, trailing the Lady Blue Hose 56-41 at the 9:31 mark of the second half.
Presbyterian would not allow them to get any closer, going on a 23-12 run to close out the game. Blease scored eight of the 23 points in the run, with six of the eight points coming from beyond the arc.
Bridget Takach, who also had seven assists on the night, closed out PC's scoring on the evening, nailing a three-pointer with 1:23 left in the game to score the final points of the game for the Lady Blue Hose.
India Elliot had 10 points in the loss for the Cobras, concluding the game as the only Coker player in double figures.
Presbyterian next travels to North Greenville on Friday, Dec. 15. Tipoff between the Lady Blue Hose and Lady Crusaders is set for 5:30 p.m. at Hayes Gymnasium.

Let me tell you kids, there was never such a great comedian as the tremendous Bill Hicks. I had the good fortune of knowing him, even opening for him at the beginning of my career in show business and life. I loved him and worshipped him and I was not alone. My friend attended his funeral and said he had never witnessed so many tough grown men crying. We loved Bill so much. He was our mentor and our friend.
I remember him most vividly at comedy day in San Francisco. This might have been 1990 or before or later. The years blend into themselves and fold back on themselves and I can't remember which happened first or last but I do remember it all. Bill came into the tent, setting down a black garment bag, with multiple tags, the kind that folds a man's suit in half. He looked at me kindly, as he always did, as I was then the girlfriend of a Houston comic, a real good ol' boy, and so technically I was family, as Texans are intensely familial and ancestral and filial and all that.
Bill was Houston, as he was New York and also London. Bill was the world. He pointed his eyes at me, the sweetness in his face just bubbling over and asked after me and my life and he wore a bloodstained postal worker's cap on his handsome head and I felt special and like a woman even though I was still just a girl and I felt alive and important and like everything I had wanted to happen was happening and this was good. I have chased that feeling ever since, of being young and your life unrolling like a magic carpet in front of you and all that exists is the future and the brightness of it hurts to look at.
Bill was our Jesus. That's what I recall Brett Butler saying, "Bill, well he just wanted to be Jesus." The truest statement that was an image that Bill had wanted to convey and what we all as struggling comics needed to exist, a messiah. Bill was our lord and I think of him still in this way and I think many do. All of us who loved him do.

The POEA or Philippine Overseas Employment Agency, is the agency responsible for millions of jobs for Filipinos abroad. In recent years, the POEA has set its sights on first-world countries in Asia like Singapore.
Singapore being only four hours away from Manila, is a great place to start job hunting for Filipino's wishing to work abroad for more money. In the last ten years Singapore has hired thousands of Filipino's in the domestic help field and in more recent years the IT and Arts sector.
The IT and Creative job sector in Singapore has opened up to Filipino's due to the English language skills of "pinoys", Local agencies have discovered that "singlish" can be quite confusing for the foreigners trying to do business in Singapore, hence the hiring of Filipino's with tech expertise and language skills.
Singapore with its 2 is to 1 dollar to Singapore dollar ratio is a great alternative for those Filipino's who do not wish to work in the gulf states far-away from home. The city-state still offers great earning capacity but without the "home-sickness" attributed to living and working in the middle-east
Many Filipino's find themselves leaving Singapore for the Philippines on the weekends and coming back for the Monday workday, refreshed and re-energized from the mini-vacation back home.
Singapore indeed is becoming a haven for Filipino workers wishing to enjoy the best of both worlds – a country no to far from the Philippines with the "Salary-power" to boot.
Finding POEA Accredited Agencies
POEA accredited agencies in Panghulo Malabon City – How many are legitimate? This question is the first question that enters a Filipino overseas worker's mind. With all the scam artists in the Philippines looking to fleece the unsuspecting job seeker with offers of lucrative jobs in far-away places, it is good to have an agency like the POEA to accredit and regulate recruitment agencies in Panghulo, Malabon City.
How does one check if the recruitment agency is legitimate or tell-tale signs they are a scam:
1. POEA License, there are a number of steps that a would-be recruitment agency in Panghulo, Malabon City must go through before a license is released. First, you would need to have proof that you actually have employers abroad that you will match locals with, this is hard to fake as the POEA checks extensively the background of the off-shore employers
2. Up-front fees. some "POEA Agencies" will chrage you an upfront fee – from $50 to a few thousand dollars these fees should be thoroughly perused before paying them. Many agencies in Malabon City are paid by the off-shore employers a finders fee for getting them the right employee. In fact this is the industry standard, if a company in Saudi needs an oil-driller, they contact the POEA and then the POEA gives a list of manpower agencies, the agencies then submit a list of workers and the companies choose the workers, when the workers are hired the agency gets paid. Beware of up-front fees
3. Migration / Immigration offices that offer jobs abroad, these fall into a gray area as these offices do not have a POEA license to disburse jobs, they are just migration experts who are sometimes(unwittingly) tied up with scam agencies
All in all, use common wisdom to weed out the false from the legitimate next it comes to POEA "accredited agencies" – check their license right of the bat to look if they are legit.

EBooks are a relatively new thing in the history of written stuff. Sure, there were clay tablets, papyrus scrolls, and hand-copied books for eons back in the mists of time, but even mass-produced printed books have been around for nearly 600 years. EBooks are scarcely a zygote.
In spite of this newbie status, the amount of titles available in this infant electronic format is increasing dramatically as the number of e-readers and tablets proliferate. And this trend will continue until the next technology comes along.
I am no Luddite, and in fact have worked on the slightly techy side of computers, but I did not see myself as a potential eBook reader. I like books, holding them, turning pages. Conversely, I don't particularly enjoy staring at computer screens. But as free eBooks became available in libraries, I was lured by the siren call of near-infinite storage in something the size of a slim paperback. No more vacations with backpacks full of books! No more wondering if the pantry should be filled with food or overflowing stacks of books!
Initially, I feared that the library would carry only best-seller eBooks rather than titles suited to my quirky tastes. However, after thoroughly exploring the catalog, I can state unequivocally that this is not the case. Everett Public Library currently has over 3,000 electronic books including fiction in all genres, kid's books, young-adult, and non-fiction ranging from history to cooking to biographies. Here are a few of the titles I founds while browsing for eBooks in the EPL catalogue.
A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar by Suzanne Joinson
Historical fiction
Available as an eBook, book, large-print book, and audiodisc
In 1923, two sisters, one devout and the other not-so-much, journey to be missionaries on the ancient Silk Road.
Hedy's Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World by Richard Rhodes
Biography, history
Available as an eBook, book, and audiodisc
Yes Virginia, Hedy Lamarr was an inventor who created the technology that became the basis for cell phones, Wi-Fi and other devices commonplace to modern life. This book tells of her adventures with inventing partner George Antheil, an avant-garde composer known to use airplanes and other machinery in his compositions. High on my to-read list.
The Dead Gentleman by Matthew Cody

A hole through time, zombies, steampunk, a bad guy called the Dead Gentleman, and two kids from different eras attempting to save the world.

Mirage by Matt Ruff
Available as an eBook and a book
Matt Ruff is one of my favorite authors, but I'd be the first to say that he's not for everyone. His books tend toward the surreal, being full of twists and unlikely situations. Mirage takes the 2001 attack on the Twin Towers and turns it on its head, with Christian fundamentalist terrorists attacking the benevolent Muslim states.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
There's no sign so far of acute impacts around Willard Bay State Park from the Chevron Pipe Line Co. diesel spill, a state official said Wednesday.
"We don't have an immediate human health or ecological issue at this point," said John Whitehead, assistant director of the Utah Division of Water Quality and leader of the state's response to the spill.
But there are traces of petrochemicals beginning to show up in water tests, he said. "We expected to see it. There's no way you're going to dump 20,000 gallons of diesel on the ground and not see a little dissolved product get through the system."
Whitehead gave an update on the cleanup under way for eight days at Willard Bay State Park, just south of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, where as much as 27,500 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from a Salt Lake City-to-Spokane pipeline last week.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has led a multi-agency emergency response team that it focused on removing as much oil from the surrounding wetlands before the bird migration season goes into full swing.
About 100 cleanup workers have laid ribbons of absorbent boom throughout the area and skimmed the petroleum from the water's surface. About 14,000 gallons have been recovered so far.
Investigators from the U.S. Transportation Department's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration have made a preliminary determination that a split in the lengthwise seam of the pipe is responsible for the spill. Diesel from five Salt Lake City refineries travels 760 miles though the line.
Whitehead showed board members a photo of the split, a 74-inch-long gash in the 8-inch pipe beneath a thick corrosion-resistant coating.
"That failure poses a bigger issue beyond this board, and that is the infrastructure of the pipeline," Whitehead said, noting the steel conduit is more than 60 years old. "It was chilling to me to see this pipe is 3 feet away from a gasoline pipeline."
On Friday, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ordered the Texas-based company not to restart the pipeline until federal authorities approve the fixes and then only at 80 percent of normal pressure and under "continuous patrolling" of a 3-mile segment of the pipeline.
"This Corrective Action Order," said the agency directive, "is being issued under [federal law] to require Chevron Pipe Line Co. (Chevron or Respondent) to take the necessary corrective action to protect the public, property and the environment from potential hazards associated with the recent failure on Chevron's #1 Oil line in Willard, Utah."
The state has 11 monitoring sites, and four of 27 samples have shown traces of petrochemicals in the freshwater Willard Reservoir so far. But its still too early to make any final conclusions, Whitehead said.
Six beavers including an adult and two juveniles found just Tuesday have been rescued from the site, and at least one dead fish has been discovered. The state park has been closed since March 18, the day Chevron discovered and reported the leak.

Beavers saved the day
The tangle of beaver dams and marsh vegetation at Willard Bay state park played a crucial role in protecting the Willard Bay area from more significant damage, a state official said Wednesday. John Whitehead, deputy director of the Utah Division of Water Quality, said the area's famed "hero beavers" that everyone's hearing about really did prevent disaster.
"If we didn't have a wetland complex in there that slowed the flow" of spilled diesel, he said, that stuff would have poured into Willard Bay within an hour."
Six beavers from the spill area are recuperating at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah in Ogden.

I just reviewed the new Korg Volca Series for Keyboard Magazine and the full report will be coming in the March 2014 issue. Until then, let's just say I'm quite taken with the Volca Beats groove box. Sooo…
Since these analog babies are backordered, well, everywhere, I figured it might be a cool idea to post a loop pack for y'all.
To keep things useful and interesting, I mixed up the pack with some full grooves, some kick/snare patterns, some hats and some top percussion loops.
Everything is 24-bit/44.1 and all loops are two bars long. I even did a bit of multiband compression and limiting, so they're good to go.
Also, it's worth mentioning that every loop is 123 BPM, because house.
You can download it all here:

Snapwm is a xinerama aware, very minimal and lightweight dynamic tiling window manager based on dminiwm (same author), which is based on catwm (by pyknite).
Snapwm has an emphasis on easy configurability and choice. It's primarily keyboard driven but has some mouse support also.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 The Bar
- 4 Layout Modes
- 5 Window Manager Functions
- 6 Transparency
- 7 Multi Monitor Support
- 8 See also
Using the AUR
Download snapwm-gitAUR from the AUR. Then, as a non-root user, run:
$ makepkg -i
while in the saved PKGBUILD's directory. The files will be retrieved, built and installed.
The sample configuration files will be installed in
/usr/share/snapwm-git/. Create the directory
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/snapwm/
Copy the three sample files to
~/.config/snapwm/{rc.conf, key.conf, apps.conf} and edit to suit.
Using Git
The latest version can be downloaded using Git. Initially, you can do:
git clone https://github.com/moetunes/Nextwm
and then update with
git pull. See the Git wiki page or man git for more info.
Xlib is all that is required. To install it, do:
$make #make install $make clean
Alternative Method
Instead of actually installing it system-wide as above, you can simply run make and then copy the executable to somewhere in your path, like
~/bin for example. You can then run it the same way(exec snapwm) on a per user basis.
Most users will want this. As the name implies, dmenu is a menu that acts like an auto-complete for typing the name of binaries. It integrates well with tiling window managers like snapwm. See the dmenu wiki page or man dmenu for more info. To install it, do:
pacman -S dmenu
The sample.rc.conf file comes with a command to start demenu_run, which will search $PATH for a matching executable as soon as you start typing.
const char* dmenucmd[] = {"dmenu_run","-i","-nb","#666622","-nf","white",NULL};
All user settings are read from three files in ~/.config/snapwm/ . Each line in these files takes the form of :
<Option><space><semi colon seperated list>
and if there is more than one item in the list the line must end in a semi colon.
snapwm comes with sample configurations files which make it easy to start configuration.
All options and settings in the three configuration files are changeable in the running window manager by editing and saving the configuration file/s and updating. (default key Alt+u)
<option><space><semi colon seperated list>
Should have the number of desktops as the first option, which is changeable in the running window manager.
Colours, how new windows are handled and options for the bar are set here.
There are two options CMD and KEY . CMD should come before any key using it.
CMD takes the form of :
CMD<space><label>;<comand>;<command option1>;<command option2>...;NULL;
The label is passed to a KEY later and the line must end in NULL;
KEY takes the form of :
There are seven modifying keys available :
Alt CtrlAlt ShftAlt Super ShftSuper CtrlSuper ALTSuper
An example for setting Alt+x to open xterm. The terminal command would be
xterm -bg black -fg white
To make the command and the keyboard shortcut.
CMD xtermcmd;xterm;-bg;black;-fg;white;NULL; KEY Alt;x;spawn;xtermcmd;
There are two options DESKTOP and POSITION . Order isn't important.
DESKTOP is used to set the desktop that an app will open on and whether to change to that desktop when the app opens.
POSITION is used to set the geometry of an app in stacking mode.
DESKTOP takes the form of :
DESKTOP<space><window class>;<desktop to open on>;<zero to change to that desktop>;
<window class> is found by using xprop on the app and reading the WM_CLASS value.
POSITION takes the form of :
POSITION<space><window class>;<x>;<y>;<width>;<height>;
The Bar
Snapwm has an integrated bar that has a clickable desktop switcher, shows the tiling mode, shows the focused window's name and has space to display some external text.
The desktop switcher can optionally show the number of windows open on unfocused desktops and in fullscreen mode. Clicking on the current desktop in the switcher will focus the next window. Clicking elsewhere in the bar will change to the last desktop.
The bar uses the root window's name to display colored external text, which can be changed with xsetroot -name.
For example, with conky, you could use something like:
conky | while read -r; do xsetroot -name "$REPLY"; done &
You can toggle the bars' visibility.
Default keyboard shortcut : Super+b
There's options in the rc file to have the bar shown at the top, the bottom. The bars' position is changeable in the running wm by editing the rc file.
The colors for the desktop switcher are defined in SWITCHERTHEME in rc.conf.
- Color 0 : focused desktop in switcher.
- Color 1 : unfocused desktop in switcher.
- Color 2 : unfocused desktop in switcher with open windows.
- Color 3 : the bar's border.
The colors for the rest of the bar and text in the bar are defined in STATUSTHEME in rc.conf.
- Color 0 : the default background colour for the bar
- Color 1 : the current desktop font in the switcher and also for external text.
- Color 2 : the unfocused desktops font in the switcher and also for external text.
- Color 3 : the unfocused desktops with opened windows font in the switcher and also for external text.
- Color 4 : the focused window name font and also the for external text.
- Colors 5 - 9 : are for external text.
The colors for the windows are defined in WINDOWTHEME in rc.conf.
- Color 0 : focused window border.
- Color 1 : unfocused window border.
The colors for external text can be displayed by placing & in front of the number of the color in your script. For example, using conky, you could do something like this for displaying the time using the second color for external text:
&1${time %I:%M}
The background colour in the bar can be changed by placing &B in front of the number of the wanted colour in your script. For example, using conky, you could do something like this for displaying the time using the third colour for the background and the second color for external text:
&B2&1${time %I:%M}&B0
The colors in the running wm are changeable by editing the rc file.
The bar does not support icons but you can draw "icons" into a font and use those. You can find more info on that in the dwm hacking thread on the forum. There are a few fonts in the AUR, such as terminusmod, tamsynmod, termsyn, and ohsnap that have some icons. To have them shown in the bar print them in a terminal then copy/paste them in rc.conf or your script/conky. You can also use a font like stlarch_font that just contains icons. You can use it in combination with another font using a comma to seperate them in your rc.conf:
static const char defaultfontlist[] = "-*-stlarch-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
Layout Modes
Snapwm has five layout modes: vertical, horizontal, grid, fullscreen and center stacking. The tiling mode for each desktop is set in rc.conf, and can be changed in the running wm.
It allows the "normal" method of tiling window managers, with the new window as the master, or with the new window opened at the top or bottom of the stack(attach aside). The default tiling method for all layout modes is set in rc.conf, and can be changed in the running wm.
-------------- | | W | | |___| | Master | | | |___| | | | --------------
Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+v
Takes up all the screen less the bar.
Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+f
There are no borders in fullscreen mode or if there is only one open window.
------------- | | | Master | |-----------| | W | | | -------------
Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+h
------------- | | W | |Master| | |------|----| | | | -------------
Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+g
Center Stacking
___________ | ______ | | | ____ | | | ||____|| | | |______| | |___________|
Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+c
Windows can be moved up/down Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+j/k Windows can be moved right/left Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+Shift+p/o Windows can be made wider/narrower Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+h/l Windows can be made taller/shorter Default keyboard shortcut : Alt+p/o
- Changing the layout mode or resizing windows on one desktop doesn't affect the other desktops.
- The Master window can be resized.
- Windows can be added/removed to/from the master area with keyboard shortcuts Alt+Shift+m/l
- The window *W* at the top of the stack can be resized with keyboard shortcuts Alt+o/p.
- In stacking mode the windows can be resized/moved with Alt+right/left mouse button and
- the size and position is remembered when the mode is changed
Window Manager Functions
The functions available to the user are :
next_win Default keyboard shortcut : Alt + j
prev_win Default keyboard shortcut : Alt + k
move_up Default keyboard shortcut : Alt + Shift + j move the current window up the stack
move_down Default keyboard shortcut : Alt + Shift + k move the current window down the stack

kill_client Default keyboard shortcut : Alt + c
quit Default keyboard shortcut : Control + Alt + q
spawn Default keyboard shortcut : User defined for each application
toggle_bar Default keyboard shortcut : Super + b
update_config Default keyboard shortcut : Alt + u
Unfocused windows have an alpha value and can be transparent if used with a compositing manager(like cairo-compmgr).
The value is a percent and can be changed in the running wm by editing the rc file, 100 is opaque.
Multi Monitor Support
With X aware of multiple connected monitors, snapwm will place different desktops on each monitor.
Using xrandr, or the appropriate method for the graphics card, set the second monitor to the right of the first, the third monitor to the right of the second, etc.
Using two monitors and four desktops as an example:
desktops 1 & 3 will show on monitor 1, the last focused one always visible
desktops 2 & 4 will show on monitor 2, the last focused one always visible
To move an application to the other monitor, send it to the desktop showing on that monitor with the follow_/client_to_desktop functions.

Cutting the cable cord and streaming network television over the Internet may get a lot more difficult if recent rumors prove true. The NY Post reports Hulu and other similar streaming networks will soon begin requiring customers to provide authentication to prove they are pay-TV customers.
While nothing has been confirmed, and no official statement from Hulu has been issued, the Post reports that future Hulu users may have to log in with their cable or satellite providers account information in order to verify their status and get access to Hulu streaming content.
But it isn't Hulu's burden alone to potentially make streaming more difficult for users. News Corp, which owns Fox, is expected to begin preliminary talks with Comcast for a TV Everywhere deal that would also require a more stringent authentication process. It has been predicted that Comcast will make the switch to an authentication-based model prior to the summer Olympic Games.
With more and more people opting out of their monthly cable plans in favor of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, cable companies are looking to protect their profits by restricting access to their content from streamers that, as it stands now, aren't paying a monthly fee.
Ever since the site launched in August 2007, more and more users have rallied around the idea of streaming their content for free. Because of this, the entertainment industry has seen a shift in behavior among viewers, with a greater amount looking to stream their content from the web. According to Digital Entertainment Group, overall spending on home entertainment has increased by 2.5 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
Of course with the move to authentication, Hulu — which is a joint venture between NBCUniversal (Comcast/General Electric), Fox Entertainment Group (News Corp), Disney-ABC Television Group (The Walt Disney Company), and receives funding from Providence Equity Partners – could suffer a dip in numbers down the road.
It's unclear whether Hulu's rumored move to stricter authentication practices will affect Hulu Plus members, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case. What's more, it's perplexing as to why Hulu would want to require authentication from customers looking to stream network television that doesn't entail paying a month cable fee anyways.
As it stands now, it is thought that any sort of authentication process would take years to complete, so consumers may at least be able to take comfort in that. However, if all proves true, streamers currently enjoying the wealth of free access Hulu provides may find themselves forced to crawl back to their cable providers.

In all relationships, regardless of how solid they are, there will be problems and discussions. According to certain studies on communication between genders, there is often excessive pressure around the act of apologizing, even if the man otherwise accepts that he made a mistake. In most cases, apologies are a positive way of resuming dialogue after a fight and that is how they should be considered, since they show that the parties are willing to exhibit vulnerability in the presence of the other. An apology can sometimes mean that you bite your tongue at first, but, if it is sincere and well expressed, it could make the difference between lasting pain or an approach in the relationship.
Method 01
Prepare yourself psychologically
Recognize that apologies are a way to move forward. Regardless of your reasons for apologizing, you must remember that your goal is to fix things with the girl and improve your relationship with her. An apology is, in essence, an emotional concession that, if expressed in an appropriate and sincere way, can have excellent results.
- In the studies, the results have been consistent in that men find it much more difficult to apologize than women. If you consider yourself to be within this group of those who find it difficult to apologize, you can try to overcome the first pothole by taking them as a strictly practical maneuver (at least at the beginning).
Take some time to relax. If you feel the need to apologize to a girl, maybe you're hurt too. If you admit that at that moment you do not feel completely well, you must first give yourself time to heal. This could take minutes, hours or days depending on the severity of the situation.
- However, do not allow yourself to postpone the apology too much, since, if you spend a lot of time saying nothing, this could be interpreted as simply that you did not apologize or that you do not regret what happened and you do not want to have anything to do with the girl. Again, the severity of the situation and the strength of your relationship will determine how much time can be considered "too much".
Understand why the girl is upset. You could make things worse if you apologize without sincerity or without knowing why you do it instead of just keeping quiet. A woman will realize that you are not honest if you apologize in a hasty way. Therefore, before apologizing, you should stop for a moment to reflect and ask yourself the following: why are you upset? Could your mood be due to other factors? How serious is the problem?
- Put yourself in the girl's place for a moment. You should consider how she could have interpreted your actions, as well as how she might feel. If you must apologize for something that happened, play it back in your head, which will give you a better idea of why she is upset regardless of who is at fault.
- Keep in mind that it is not the same to feel empathy for the reasons why she might be upset that admit your guilt. In a healthy relationship, you should be able to take the other person's point of view into consideration, even if it does not look like you've done something bad in and of itself. You must recognize that the pain that the other person feels is real, even if at first it seems unjustified or irrational to feel that way.
Excuse yourself with sincerity. In case the problem has been serious enough, the girl will try to detect any sign of falsehood in your way of expressing the apology. Therefore, the best way for her to interpret the apology as you want is to do it with sincerity. It is a good idea to avoid apologizing if you consider that you will have to do it reluctantly and, instead, reflect more on the apology or decide not to ask for it at all.
- Maybe you have the same reasons as the girl to be angry, which will make it hard for you to be honest with her. In this case, you should give yourself a little more time so you can relax and breathe.
Method 02
Apologize verbally
Wait for the right moment to do it. A part of the art of apologies is the choice of the right moment. You would not want someone to apologize to you while you're watching a movie, much less when you're burning your eyelashes for an important exam the next day. Instead, you should wait (but not for too long) until the appropriate opportunity arises in which the girl has free time and is relatively relaxed.
- As mentioned above, you should not wait too long to apologize, as this could make the girl think that not apologizing was a conscious decision.
Approach the girl with solemnity. The reception of the apology will be greatly affected by the way you approach the girl with whom you want to apologize in person. Therefore, you must do it quietly and calmly. Avoid getting distracted by anything else, since you should focus all your attention on the apology. When you approach the girl, make sure you look her straight in the eyes. You must express through your body language that you recognize the seriousness of the situation, so you should not smile too much or be too relaxed.
- If you choose to apologize by text message or phone, it will be easier to deal with the issue of approaching the girl. However, keep in mind that, for the apology to be as effective and affirmative as possible, you must do it in person.
- In case it is not easy for you to run into the girl, you can ask her to meet you. The invitation should be simple and to the point, although you should make sure that you know that you have asked her to meet with you to apologize. Give her a little time in case she is very angry at that moment. Hopefully, it will calm down and allow you to apologize.
Tell him you're sorry. You should start by telling him that you feel it before continuing with anything else. If you try to explain the reasons why you feel it before she knows you want to apologize, you could take it as an invitation to an argument. After approaching her, do not waste time telling her you're sorry. Explanations may wait until after you express your main point. It may seem easy to be direct, but it can be difficult to do your job when both parties experience a lot of emotions. Do not let this make you too nervous. If necessary, remember that this is only one step as part of the process to recover the connection between the two.
- It is not necessary that the apology be too elaborate. On the other hand, perhaps it is best to express it in the simplest way possible. Simply say "I'm sorry" without needing to be poetic or calculate it too much. It's much more likely that the girl misinterprets your apology if you complicate her a lot.
Express empathy. Saying something as simple as "I'm sorry" will have a greater impact than you might think. However, for the most serious issues, this will not be enough. After resuming the conversation in this way, you should delve into the details of why you feel it and the fact that you understand her feelings. In case the conversation becomes more balanced and both have a degree of guilt, you can take advantage to express some of your feelings as part of the healing process. However, you should only do it when you know that the girl has accepted the apology.
- This is an example of a general template of what you might say: "I am very sorry for what I did." At that time I was very selfish and, seeing how it affected you, I realized how serious it was. change the past, but I want you to know that I wish I could retract, I will not let it happen again. "
Let the girl answer you. Perhaps it is not worth much to make a mountain of insignificant complaints, but, if the situation is more serious, it is likely that the apology will generate an answer. After you have put the cards on the table, it may be time for her to express her feelings. Look her in the eye, keep calm whatever you do and process everything she tells you. If your answer makes you angry, try to put yourself in their place. Maybe she is still angry about what happened and this could have been a factor in the fact that her reaction was not very pleasant.
Hug her. Often, it is best to apologize verbally along with some kind of physical affirmation. A hug is almost always appropriate regardless of the type of relationship. You can hug the girl after apologizing to show her your feelings physically. If she accepts the hug, both can get a sense of closure.
Take measures to avoid incidents in the future. If you do not take an apology seriously, it will become only words. If you apologize for something you have done, you should try to prevent it from happening again. Taking action to solve the problem will give you two benefits: first, it will reduce the chances of the situation happening again in practice, and, secondly, it will make the girl see that you turned the apology into tangible actions. If, after asking for an apology, you wash your hands completely, it will be much more difficult for people to accept your apologies in the future.
- For example, if your apology is because you are always late, start scheduling an alarm 10 minutes before you usually does it to be able to do things more quickly and reduce the risk of being late again. You can also inform the girl of the measures you have taken. In this way, you will show him that you were sincere in apologizing.
Method 03
Apologize in a non-verbal way
Write a letter of apology. The best non-verbal way to apologize is to write the carata by hand. The message will vary in tone and length depending on the severity of the problem or the cause. For example, it is not the same to apologize for forgetting a birthday than for abuse or infidelity. However, the most important thing is to write from the heart and get rid of the intrinsic pretensions to the formal writing of the letters. Instead, write what you feel and apologize in the first two sentences.
- If you are involved in a romantic relationship with the girl, it may be appropriate to draw a heart in the final part of the letter, and this will convey warmth.
- In this case, it is important to write the letter by hand, since an apology will not be worth anything if it does not have a personality touch or a vulnerability that supports it. It's much easier to disguise your emotions on a computer. However, you can send the apology through a short email or an instant message if it is a more insignificant matter.
Correct your mistakes through positive action. If what you did hurt the feelings of the girl, a good way to repair your previous mistakes is through something that makes her feel good. The ways in which you can compensate for it can become as diverse and unique as your own relationship. You can consider some of the things the girl likes as possible opportunities to fix things. In case you cannot think of anything specific, almost no woman will say no to a back massage or to prepare dinner. A simple gesture can largely express your feelings without having to be too elaborate.
Make a donation in your name. You could also make a donation on behalf of the girl as a more formal way of apologizing to her. In fact, an apology could have a greater weight if it has a monetary value associated with it, although perhaps this is only appropriate when the apology is due to less personal or serious matters. Of course, if you give money to a person directly, this would seem like a bribe, so making a donation to a charity will convey your good intentions instead of an unpleasant background.
- Regardless of how small the donation is, it must be accompanied by a specific statement of your reasons for doing so. In it, explain to the girl that you made the donation so that your apology will cause a positive change in the world, making your fight have altruistic benefits for him. It would be almost impossible to be against a charity, because they are helping the world.
- Ultimately, by apologizing, your best recourse will be the simple phrase "I'm sorry." Often, and as long as you are honest, this is the only thing you will need.
- This article is divided into the categories "verbal" and "non-verbal", but the most effective and felt apologies are often those that combine both types. Words alone will not be as intense as if they were backed up by an action, and vice versa, especially if the relationship is romantic.
- Keep in mind that it will be very difficult for you to apologize if you must do it because you cheated on the girl. Therefore, before apologizing in an SINCERE way, you must make sure that everything is perfect and as she likes it. You must put yourself in his place and feel the pain that YOU caused him.
Nothing can guarantee that your apology will be accepted. If this is rejected, regardless of the reasons for it, it could be because you did not wait long enough for the girl to calm down. In the worst case, you may have destroyed any possibility of rebuilding the relationship, in which case you should do your best to deal with the loss of this person and try to learn from the experience. Life is a succession of greetings and farewells, and you could use this experience to make sure that something similar does not happen again.

The Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Colorado launched a Clean Cookstove Project in El Salvador in partnership with Peace Corps and Trees, Water and People in 2011 in honor of the 50th anniversary of Peace Corps.
In a project deemed the first of its kind, RPCVCO connected a local nonprofit organization (Trees, Water and People) to currently serving volunteers in El Salvador. RPCVCO was the funding partner, raising money to fully fund this project for one year.
Trees Water & People
Trees, Water & People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1998 by Stuart Conway (RPCV Guatemala 84-87) focused on helping communities protect, conserve, and manage the natural resources upon which their long-term well-being depends. TWP develops and manages continuing reforestation, watershed protection, renewable energy, appropriate technology, and environmental education programs in Latin America and the American West. www.treeswaterpeople.org
Clean Cookstoves
Since the inception of the fuel-efficient stove program in Latin America, TWP has worked with its partners to develop different models of stoves. This allows TWP to test out new manufacturing methods and new materials; it allows them to continuously refine the efficiency of the stoves; and gives people in program countries choices in stove costs.
The Justa stove, named in honor of co-developer Doña Justa Nunez, is essentially an insulated masonry box. The key to the higher combustion rates and efficiency achieved by this stove is the "Rocket elbow," created by Aprovecho engineer Larry Winiarski. This L-shaped combustion chamber allows wood to burn up to 70% more efficiently. The body of the stove may be constructed from brick or cinder block, and is insulated with wood ash or other locally available material. The stove is topped with a removable metal cooking surface, or plancha. A built-in chimney vents harmful gases and particulates from the kitchen.
Local Training Partner
TWP had a local training partner in El Salvador, Arboles y Agua para El Pueblo, which conducted a regional training workshop on how to build clean cookstoves in communities in which Peace Corps Volunteers were currently serving. Volunteers brought one counterpart to the training, and then returned to site to organize their own trainings with their local communities.
Much of the material needed to build the stove could be found inexpensively at site, but individual Peace Corps Volunteers also sought further funding through Peace Corps Partnership grants to provide additional financial resources to their communities.
The Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Colorado committed to funding the first year of this training program, with the hopes of continuing beyond the celebration of the Peace Corps' 50th anniversary in 2011. The budget was approximately $3,000, which paid for 1 regional workshop, with 15 total volunteers trained, and 20 local community leaders trained. The budget amount covered the cost of travel and accommodations for the training, as well as materials and supplies for each person to build a stove during the training.
In order to raise money for this project, RPCVCO sold two commissioned prints in honor of the Peace Corps' 50th anniversary. The two prints, entitled Hand of Peace, and Tree of Peace are stil available for purchase on our website and the proceeds benefit our ongoing projects.

U.S. strip mall owners struggled with a lack of demand in the second quarter, although limited construction of new space led to a modest improvement in vacancy rates and slightly higher rents, according to a report released on Wednesday.
The national vacancy rate dropped to 10.5 percent last quarter from 10.6 percent the previous period, according to the report by real estate research firm Reis Inc. It was the sixth time in the last seven quarters that the rate dropped by one-tenth of a percent, with declines driven largely by a dearth of new construction.
Continue Reading Below
The average asking and effective rents both rose 0.3 percent, as demand just barely exceeded the 914,000 square feet of new space made available.
"People look at the market and say: 'These buildings are sitting 10 percent vacant or so, why are we going to build something new?'" said Ryan Severino, a senior economist at Reis.
Altogether, retailers soaked up 2.453 million square feet of U.S. neighborhood strip centers - shopping centers typically anchored by grocery stores or drug stores. That was down from 2.959 million square feet during the first quarter.
Asking rent at the end of the quarter was $19.19 per square foot per year. Effective rent, which strips out free rent and other costs landlords incur to attract tenants, was $16.68 per square foot.
Regional malls, where department stores typically book-end smaller specialty stores, had a vacancy rate of 8.3 percent in the second quarter, flat compared with the prior period.
Top-tier malls in affluent areas are driving improvements in vacancy rates and asking rents as smaller shopping centers continue to suffer from weakness in the economy, Severino said. The top nine markets ranked by lowest vacancy rate are in California or the New York area suburbs, a trend that aligns with "Class A" malls outperforming inferior malls, he said.
"There's a pretty big rift in the high-end centers that cater to the affluent and the other centers that cater to everyone else," said Severino. "The wealthy are not immune to the economy, but they're definitely more insulated."
Real-estate companies that own malls and shopping centers in denser metropolitan areas and wealthier suburbs include Simon Property Group Inc, General Growth Properties Inc, Taubman Centers Inc, Kimco Realty Corp and Equity One Inc.

CHINO HILLS — Neither Cory Harkey, Greg Salas nor R.J. Stanford were drafted in the first three rounds of the NFL draft.
But that didn't stop the trio, who all went to high school in the Chino Valley, from making it in the NFL.
They were three of several current or former NFL players who returned to Chino Hills High School on Saturday for Chino Hills' Learn from the Pros youth football camp, giving kids ages 5-14 advice and instruction.
"I think it's important to come back to your community where you spent so much time and tell them how important it is to stay in school," said Harkey, who played at Chino Hills, UCLA and despite being undrafted is entering his third season as a tight end with the St. Louis Rams. "It's good for them to see you, someone who grew up in Chino Hills, and is now playing in the NFL … and it inspires them and I think that's a great thing."
Salas and Stanford both played at Chino High, and were recruited to participate in the camp by A.J. Gracia, a former Chino teammate who is now on the Chino Hills coaching staff.
Salas, a wide receiver who was a fourth-round draft pick out of Hawaii, is now with the New York Jets and entering his fourth season in the league.
"We're making sure they (kids) go over things slow and do things properly so they can have a good base foundation for their playing careers in the future," Salas said. "It's a lot of fun."
Salas and Stanford said the key word for the day they were stressing with the campers was "technique."
"The technique (is) what we want to teach them," said Stanford, a seventh-round pick as a defensive back out of Utah entering his fourth year in the NFL and first with the Cincinnati Bengals. "We want to encourage them and give them hope that coming from this area you have the opportunity to go to college from there and extend their career even to the NFL. But more importantly, get your education and have fun."
About 85 campers were in attendance, divided into age groups and rotated through several different football drill stations.
Ian Gutglueck, 12 and Randy Rivera, 13, were two of the campers who plan on playing in high school.
"I think they did a good job of showing us drills," said Gutglueck. "And I really liked talking to the players."
Rivera enjoyed the instruction but also had other motives.
"I came here to show my talents to the coaches here," said Rivera, who does not know where he is going to go to high school.
While the campers' high school careers are in the future, Harkey, Stanford and Salas are looking forward to this season.
"I'm really fortunate to be with the same organization," said Harkey. "We're hoping to get a few more wins."
Said Salas: "I'm hoping to have a bigger role this year."
"It's been a good transition," Stanford said. "I've gotten to know the team and fit into their defense. It felt comfortable."
