Definition of error bar in English:
error bar
A line through a point on a graph, parallel to one of the axes, which represents the uncertainty or error of the corresponding coordinate of the point.
- 'Each error bar shows the dispersal of the estimation results of 10 simulated pseudogenes that were simulated using the same parameter.'
- 'Each plot is a mean frequency of 8-12 lines, where each line has five replicates, and the error bar indicates one standard deviation.'
- 'The error bar at bottom corresponds to 1.0 substitution per site.'
- 'The large error bar results from uncertainties in the determination of the double integrated spectra due to the poor signal/noise ratio and particularly due to baseline artifacts.'
- 'That's a gigantic error bar, so it's basically a non-measurement.'

Cards, candy, flowers and dining out -- all of these are synonymous with Valentine's Day. The average annual spending on gifts for this once-liturgical celebration is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you believe the data, roughly 30 percent of those dollars will be spent online.
Still, the convenience of online and mobile shopping doesn't stop many of us from putting off making dinner reservations or finding a gift for someone to celebrate the once-a-year romantic ritual. So, with only a day left before the holiday, we compiled a short list of apps to help the Valentine's Day procrastinator in all of us.

The gadget rental start-up called Lumoid plans to rent Apple Watches as part of its wearable rental program for consumers, said, Aarthi Ramamurthy, the company's founder and CEO.
Lumoid will roll out a waiting list on its website later this week for consumers looking to get their hands on the device when it begins shipping in April.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 507 reviews
Room and beds were comfortable. However, no place to sit other than at desk.
Very clean, very modern. Perfect place to stay if you need to catch an early AM flight at PDX. We were at the front door of PDX in under 20 minutes of waking up. (We drove our own car and parked in long term red parking). Results may vary. I saw they had a shuttle service too, which arrived right as we were pulling away in our car. That will probably take a little longer as it runs a loop for multiple hotels in the area. Either way, good value for the money and convenient for flying out in the early morning.
Really close to the airport. Perfect if you have an early flight. Very nice staff.
This was my first stay at an Aloft and I will look for one EVERY TIME I travel in the future. I really love the concept, the look, and the SERVICE. Great staff. I had the best time.
very convenient

Son of Ousted Chinese Official Graduates From Harvard
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Bo Guagua, the Chinese "princeling" son of a deposed Communist leader, flashed a big smile and was cheered by classmates as he accepted his diploma during a commencement ceremony at Harvard University on Thursday.
Mr. Bo, 24, appeared at ease as shook the hands of faculty and walked across the platform during commencement for Harvard's Kennedy School, where he earned his master's in public policy during the ceremony at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park. Mr. Bo is the son of Bo Xilai, the ousted party chief of Chongqing, China, and his wife Gu Kailai, who is under suspicion in China over the killing of a British businessman.
After the ceremony, Mr. Bo, wearing a black gradation robe and crimson hood, declined to comment to The Wall Street Journal.
"I'd just like to have my own day today," he said, as he walked with two friends and joined a group of others chatting outside the commencement tent.
Mr. Bo's appearance at graduation came nearly a month after he asked the press, in a statement to the Harvard Crimson, to "kindly refrain from intruding into the lives" of his classmates and teachers in light of the scandal that has centered on his family.

An AP article reports that Lufthansa has announced that it will raise ticket prices by $8 and take 26 planes out of service, resulting in a 20% reduction of transatlantic seating capactity. Route cuts were also announced in the article, although a few more were mentioned here than I think have been in on the message board, if I remember correctly:
"Lufthansa, Europe's No. 2 airline after British Airways, also said Friday that it would drop four of seven flights on its Frankfurt-Phoenix and Munich-Los Angeles routes as well as one of its seven weekly flights from Frankfurt to Atlanta.
It already had announced it was dropping its Berlin-Washington route and one daily flight from Frankfurt to New York and Frankfurt to Washington.
Lufthansa will continue to offer four flights a day to New York, it said."
This is a big blow to the Phoenix station. I'm not surprised though, as they compete with BA for Europe traffic, and don't have much feed aside from people who book through third enities who would put them on both LH and HP. I doubt BA will do anything to the PHX route because 1) They have already announced major route cuts, and 2) They have the America West codeshare operation out of PHX.
Also, although the article states that one of its dailies from Frankfurt to New York will be dropped, LH will continue to offer 4 flights a day to the NY area. What does this mean? Will LH drop a flight from JFK and add another one to EWR, or vice versa?
