If you are a Web designer or developer, you know that styling forms with CSS is a huge pain. Not only are browser inconsistencies rampant in form elements, but it is very difficult to get an advanced form to layout correctly, both visually & semantically. To alleviate these issues and to help designers / developers avoid unwanted stress, I took a crack at developing "RMSforms", a CSS forms framework. To apply it to your forms, simply download the RMSforms CSS Stylesheet, link to it from your HTML and apply the correct classes to the HTML structure described below and you will be on your way to creating complex CSS-based, tableless, flexible forms with ease.
Download RMSforms-v0.5.css
View Examples / Reference Sheet
RMSforms v0.5 was tested in IE6 – 7, Firefox 3 & Google Chrome. More testing is to come.
It is validated using XHTML STRICT doctype
The HTML
"RMSforms", CSS forms framework is based off a very simple HTML structure:

<input/>

The Beauty of the Un-ordered List
Un-ordered lists are a great tool for grouping form elements together because they make sense semantically and provide for the level of flexibility needed to style a form effectively.
In essence, a web-based form is a LIST of form fields with coresponding labels that are grouped together visualy based on their association to each other. In the HTML structure of RMSforms, the
 provides a container for the list of all related labels / form fields and the
 provides a container for the grouping of the individual  / form field combinations. In more complex forms, a  can often times be used to distinguish not only just one <input>, but a "nested form" that has a series of labels / form fields. With the the

 structure, nesting a form is very easy.
Other CSS form techniques use
 tags,
 tags, and line breaks to group individual labels & form field combinations together. I think these grouping methods leave a lot to be desired as far as flexibility and semantics. In my opinion, line breaks should be avoided whenever possible,
 tags should only be used when presenting a paragraph, and although
 tags would work, your html code would get real sloppy in an advanced form.
The CSS
In every web-based form there are two layout orientations that can be used to display the relationship between a  and it's corresponding form field; horizontal or vertical. The same is true for the visual orientation of the  / form field groupings to one another. This simple concept is the basis for the class names being used within the "RMSforms" framework.
The allmighty "form" class
Each top-level form
 in the "RMSforms" html structure has a base class of "form†applied to it. This class establishes a basic visual relationship between the elements within the form, sets a background-color and provides some outer padding.

The Modifier Classes
The most important classes defined in the "RMSforms" stylesheet are the "form modifiersâ€. These are 3 letter classes that modify the visual relationship between the
, , and <input> elements respectively.
The first letter in the modifier class names describes the orientation of the
 tags in the form
, the second letter describes the orientation of the  tags in he form
 and the third letter describes the orientation of the form fields within the form
. The 3 letters that make up the modifier class names are "Hâ€, "V†and "Iâ€
- H = Horizonal Block
- V = Vertical Block
- I = Inline
A list of all the form modifier classes:
- vvv – Vertical
, Vertical , Vertical form fields
- hvv – Horizontal
, Vertical , Vertical form fields
- hii – Horizontal
, Inline , Inline form fields
- hhh – Horizontal
, Horizontal , Horizontal form fields
- vii – Vertical
, Inline , Inline form fields
- vhh – Vertical
, Horizontal , Horizontal form fields
Usage Example…
The class "hvv†describes a form with
 tags that are layed out horizontally and  tags which are vertical block elements that sit on top of vertical block form field tags.

To view this example in html, take a look at the RMSforms example page
Label Modifiers
Often times, you may want the visual orientation between a  and form field tags to vary within a form. For example, if one of your labels in a "VHH†form has a lot of text in it, you may want it to sit on top of it's corresponding form field rather than to the left of it. This is where the label modifiers come into play. Label modifiers are used to override the classes placed on the form
 and should be applied to  elements within a form. The exiting label modifiers are classes:"v†or "hâ€.
Form Nesting
One of the advantages to this form framework is the ability to nest form
 tags without a problem. In many advanced forms, problems pop up when needing to incorporate multiple  / form field combinations within one grouping. Using the form modifier classes, simply nest a form
 with the appropriate modifier applied to it within an
 and you're all set.
Why Not Just Use Tables?
Ah, the great question. Why not just use tables? Wouldn't be a lot easier? Yes it would, but, being a semantic Web design nut, I believe tables should only be used in html to describe tabular data. If your not too concerned with html semantics, it is a very plausible solution for the laying out forms.
Comments, Suggestions and Modifications Are More Than Welcome.
"RMSforms" CSS Forms framework is a work in progress. The goal of this project is to make form styling as simple as possible. There are probably many scenarios in that I didn't account for, or bugs that I have not come across. If you have any questions, comments or ways to improve this framework please post them up or contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you!
Updates: 6/16/2011
- Added "list-item modifier: inline" (line 125): Adding class="inline" to any
 in a form will convert all inputs and labels contained in that list-item to inline elements. This is helpful when you have a form where a group of form elements needs to be displayed horizontally within one list item of a form laid out vertically.
- Separated "theme styles" from the framework styles in the Examples / Reference Sheet : This was done so that no generic font or layout styles are contained in the framework, making it easier to implement.

A WARNING has been issued about a Facebook application being used by schoolchildren in Bolton.
The Video Chat Round app has been described as "unsafe" by the local authority, which said it contained "inappropriate images" and allowed young people contact with adults.
A circular has been issued to primary and secondary schools by education bosses which has been passed on to parents.
It states: "It has been brought to our attention that many pupils are visiting a site called Video Chat Round which is downloaded through an app on Facebook.
"We are concerned about this and the impact it has on the safety and well-being of our children." The app is created by a company in Israel which calls it a place to hang out and "meet someone new today".
It reads: "Rounds is an awesome app where you can hang out, video chat, play games, take funny snapshots and watch videos with friends and new people. The platform unites video chat, social apps and games, allowing friends and people of interest to share experiences and consume entertainment together."
A Bolton Council spokesman said parents raised concerns about the app with their children's schools, which then contacted the local education authority. He said: "The video chatting app is not designed specifically for children, and adults also use it.
"It is open to all app users and not just Facebook friends.
"The company producing the software claims that safeguards are in place to ensure that users can only chat with others of a similar age group.
"However, we would advise parents to understand what websites their children are using and who they are communicating with, and to educate their children about how to stay safe online."
He added that the council keeps abreast of the latest information from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre and other networks to ensure that any concerns about online safety are passed on to schools and parents on a regular basis.
A Facebook spokesman said: "In such cases the onus is on the app developer to manage their content and reporting mechanisms. We have control over whether they can connect to the Facebook platform and if there is evidence that the developer is not being a good custodian we may act on this.
"We have contacted the developer and given them the opportunity to make certain improvements."

What little I've read of the skill acquisition literature suggests i) the main determinant of skill is practice time and ii) improvement is logarithmic with time. I don't see any reason programming would differ. Discipline certainly is a choice, that once chosen becomes a habit. It is difficult to start but it's the easiest thing in the world to keep a habit going. I sometimes think my worst students are my most disciplined -- the effort they put into avoiding work can be truly phenomenal. :) N.

Cape Town - Cosatu has vehemently denied busing protesters to the Cape's farming towns - but readily confirms it is trying to play "a leading role" in the mass action.
Provincial Cosatu head Tony Ehrenreich said: "The percentage of the protesters who are union members is very, very low, so Cosatu and its affiliates have sought to give structure to the action."
The Cape Argus was sent a copy of a letter signed by Cosatu and various member unions and community organisations which urged farm workers across the province to stand in solidarity with their fellow workers in De Doorns.
Numerous sources said small numbers of instigators had been responsible for igniting violence in towns, by allegedly threatening permanent workers on farms that their houses would be torched and they would be hurt if they did not down tools.
One source, who did not wish to be named, alleged that the violence had typically taken place in towns with large communities of seasonal or contract workers.
"To those who actually live on the farms, burning a vineyard would be the same as burning their own house down, because they know that that is where their income comes from."
Deputy provincial commissioner General Sharon Jafta was quoted last night as saying they had requested the SANDF for assistance.

Facebook Post Leads Short North Store Owner To Suspected Thief
A store owner took matters into his own hands after a thief targeted his business.
When John Quinn, owner of Tigertree on North High Street in the Short North, noticed a $260 Pendleton blanket was missing from his store, he quickly checked security footage.
Video surveillance showed two suspicious shoppers lurking near the blanket display, right in front of a security camera.
In the footage, one man can be seen placing the blanket behind a fixture and then on the floor, before using his jacket to cover it up.
The suspected thief seemed to be spooked before initially exiting the store.
"He went and stashed it in another fixture, came back a few minutes later, grabbed it and took off," Quinn said.
Angered by what he saw, Quinn quickly posted video of the theft on the store's Facebook page. Several comments and shares later, tips poured in-including a potential name of the suspect.
Quinn said that it took one phone call to the alleged thief, and the blanket was back by the front door eight hours later.
"We got way more than $300 of value out of knowing what kind of community we have and friends in Columbus that are willing to come through and support small business in the way they did," Quinn said.
Quinn said that it would be up to the prosecutor to decide is charges would be filed against the suspected thief.
The storeowner said that he used Facebook once before after someone stole a pair of sunglasses which were returned one day later.

Re-Charging Wideouts
When the San Diego Chargers lost Vincent Jackson to the Buccaneers in free agency, the team quickly responded with the signing of Robert Meachem. With a history of losing high quality talent to opposing teams, the Chargers knee-jerk reaction of acquiring the former Saints WR got a pity laugh from me back in the off-season.
Fast forward to week 11, Robert Meachem has been benched.
The Chargers have learned Floyd is a far better fit for the "Z" position. In the Chargers offensive scheme, the "Z" wide receiver lines up next to Tight End Antonio Gates. It's sort of like a bunch formation, which helps the QB recognize man coverage and creates a serious headache for defenders.
"I've been moving around, but I'm comfortable playing that position. It's becoming fluid now, but I understood 'Z' responsibilities after watching VJ and Meachem do it," Floyd told Scott Bair of U-T San Diego. "With Antonio and I lining up next to each other, we put a strain on whatever side we're on."
With Malcom Floyd moving to the "Z" position and Robert Meachem finding a comfy seat on the bench, Danario Alexander now moves up into a starting role and becomes a decent fantasy sleeper moving forward. Alexander has been a pleasant surprise after only joining the team a couple weeks back. His skill-set is undeniable and at 6'5 he becomes a another big target for Rivers. Danario Alexander is a talented athlete, unfortunately it's been his health that has held him back. Alexander has undergone five separate surgeries on his knee since his sophomore year of college.
Fantasy Outlook: To say this wide receiver juggling will be the ultimate answer that'll fix all Chargers problems on offense, is laughable. Yet, finding a better fit for Malcom Floyd and benching Meachem could help the team with it's rhythm. If Rivers has more options, than fantasy starters like Antonio Gates will see less double coverage.
- Danario Alexander is a recommended fantasy pick up.
- Malcom Floyd should see a spike in targets
- Gates may have more breathing room.

Joan Van Ark's Scary Mask-Like Face
Joan Van Ark is an actress that was famous for starring in 80's soap operas "Dallas" and "Knots Landing". More recently, she is famous for her scary surgically altered face:
Joan Van Ark before plastic surgery:
celebrity plastic surgery">
Joan Van Ark after plastic surgery:
Joan Van Ark is 67 years old and looks to be suffering from a too tight face lift, not-quite-healed chemical peel and bad lip augmentation. It also appears that she's had cheek implants, botox injections and god only knows what else.
Why are celebrities so afraid of wrinkles? Cosmetic surgery used to be used to make you look a few years younger and rested, now people are trying to look decades younger and plastic surgeons are using more aggressive technics to try and achieve the impossible. Scary.
31 Comments
Shes almost 70 and trying to look 30. The face, the hair, the makeup, the clothes. All wrong.
i am extremely scared of her ugly face She shouldn't have gotten work done in the first place
What's up with the orange drawn-on eyebrows and matching eyeliner combo?
That's a woman?!?!?!?!?!
She was trying to look like Julia Roberts, that's really clear… Ugly results.
Even Charlie McCarthy can move his lips.
OMG! she should of left her face alone…why can't women just age gracefully, they end up looking like a bad science experiment after they're done! and they think they look good! ha! ha!
She continues to look more and more masculine. It's like she plastered a mans face over her own. It's really terrifying.
Why is her skin gray like that? She looks like she's in the process of decomposing.
some people just don't know when to stop 🙁
Her nose looks like it's been worked on in the "before" shots.
You are all wrong. She has had no plastic surgery for at least 15 years. I'm very closely related to her and happen to know. Whoever manages this blog is a vicious liar.
She looks like Michael Jackson. That chin implant is the worst- very masculine.
In this case, I think she just needed better makeup that day
She needs psycho therapy. What a shame.
JACK u probably R Joan. Sorry honey! don't care what
U say she /you looks a mess. I use 2 think she /you was such a beautiful woman, and now she looks like
a mask the kids would wear 4 Halloween!!!!!!LMAO
I'M WITH GASP she does look like she is rottening and ready 2 B put in the ground!!!Just Awful
This lady should get some help for BDD.
Oh no I really like where this one is headed. Really looking forward to seeing some new pictures in 3 or 4 years.
As bad as she looks, she's a good warning against what people think plastic surgery can do.
She looks great compared to Joan Rivers, now there is Charlie McCarthy
why does she look like she has a 5'oclock shadow on her upper lip and chin area? it's grey!
She wasn't good looking to start with but WTF she looks like Herman Munster
She looks like a less attractive Iggy Pop and her Adams apple is bigger
Dude looks like a lady! A really scary lady.
I don't see what the big deal is. She was always ugly. In the picture off to the left she looks like James Van Der Beek's uglier older dad.
Did anyone ever happen to think that maybe she has an illness?
No Kelly no one stopped to think about that because she doesn't have an illness. Unless you count misguided vanity as a disease. I don't know why she was so vain in the first place. Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox etc. being vain? Okay, but Joan? She wasn't ugly but even young I wouldn't say she was pretty. What was she trying to preserve?
I loved Joan on The Munsters when she would say "Oh Lilly!" She was really good in My Cousin Vinnie too.
Joan looks a movie star! Too bad it's Jack Palance.
Why is there a picture of John Tesh in drag? Where's Joan?
She's a good actress and that's what matters. I loved her in Frankenstein. The scenes she did with the blind man were so sad.

BOLTON town centre bosses have welcomed research proving high street shops are outperforming retail parks.
Accountancy firm Deloitte has said shops in town and city centres across the UK are showing "great resilience".
Evidence it presented suggested rather than taking shoppers away, the internet was pushing people back to shops with the growth of click-and-collect services.
The report has been compiled by Hugo Clarke, who said the high street had recovered better than expected from one of the biggest retail collapses in history in 2008.
And the report was welcomed by Keith Davies Bolton's director of development and regeneration.
He said: "It bears out what we've been saying for years. There is a restructuring of the high street in retail terms which was always going to happen.
"The increase in independent traders and the localisation of the high street offer are what people are responding to, but it's a long-term process.
"The stabilisation of the high street position is something we are seeing in Bolton, and it is very positive from the council's point of view.
"We've put a lot of effort and resources into maintaining and improving the opportunities for the town centre and the future.
"With developments like the new cinema at the Market Place and new investors coming into the town centre, there has to be a positive outlook for Bolton."
Mr Davies' comments were echoed by Malcolm Angus, boss of Crompton Place shopping complex, in Bolton town centre.
He said: "Anything that is bringing customers into the town centre can only be beneficial.
"It shows that people are starting to realise that there is more benefit to shopping in one place than driving 15 or 20 miles out of town."
Deloitte found that the average vacancy rate for the high street is 20 per cent, but it rose to 29 per cent for shopping centres and 37 per cent for retail parks.

Back in the '70s and early '80s, there was a commercial for a breakfast cereal claiming to be "good for you" and still taste good.
A couple of suspicious kids push a bowl of the cereal toward their little brother and are shocked when the family's finicky eater loves the stuff.
"He likes it! Hey, Mikey!"
The catch phrase might fit for teammates watching Angels catcher Mike Napoli lapping up any DH starts pushed his way. While most players chafe at being used as designated hitter, Napoli has openly embraced the role in his limited appearances there this season.
"I love it," he said recently. "It just gives me a break from the mental strain of catching, gives my body a break too. I love catching. Don't get me wrong. I want to catch.
"I don't want to say it's like getting a day off but it does give me a break."
Maybe not coincidentally, Napoli has been very productive in the role. In 16 starts at DH this season, he has hit .367 (22 for 60) with a .617 slugging percentage, three home runs and nine RBIs.
By contrast, Vladimir Guerrero has never hidden his disdain for DH duty – and has never produced as well when used there. For his career, Guerrero is a .296 hitter with a .506 slugging percentage at DH (both well below his career numbers overall). Limited almost exclusively to DH this season (39 of his 41 starts), Guerrero has hit .280 with three home runs and 19 RBIs in the role.
But Napoli's love affair with DH is simple to explain. While Guerrero (and others) see DH as a diminution of their status as every-day players, for Napoli the DH starts represent an increase in his playing time.
"I think he just wants to get his at-bats," Scioscia said. "I think he wants his at-bats."
Getting Napoli those at-bats has admittedly become more of a priority for Scioscia this season. A streaky hitter throughout his first three big-league seasons, Napoli has been far less so this year, putting up a .293 batting average with 16 home runs, 43 RBIs, a .533 slugging percentage (third on the team) and .373 (fourth).
The more consistent playing time an occasional start at DH has provided has played a part in his more consistent production, Napoli concedes.
"Yeah, definitely," he said. "Being in there every day, you can have a bad day but then you're back out there. If you're not playing every day, you have a bad day and you're sitting on it for a couple days then getting back out there and trying to get it going again.
"It's easier to maintain your swing if you're playing every day. Plus, when you know you're in there every day, you get into an every-day flow. … It's a mental thing."
Napoli has "emerged as an every-day bat for us," Scioscia said.
An every-day bat – but not an every-day catcher.
Jeff Mathis' superior defensive skills get him nearly as much playing time (48 starts at catcher to Napoli's 55 so far this season) despite the little he offers offensively. Napoli's history of shoulder problems (he had his second surgery last winter) also make it prudent to limit his workload behind the plate.
But Scioscia does not see Napoli evolving towards a full-time – or nearly full-time – DH role.
"With Nap, first of all, he's got the ability to be a frontline catcher if he can show stamina behind the plate," Scioscia said. "He brings a good head behind the plate, calls a good game — although I don't think he's been as sharp defensively this year as he can be.
"That's where Mike's upside still is. If that doesn't materialize as we project … you'd want to keep that bat in the lineup."
That will soon become a moot point, at least for the remainder of this season. Guerrero is expected to return from the DL this week and Scioscia has said he will return as a full-time DH rather than "put him at risk" by playing him in the outfield.
Guerrero, a free agent after this season, is almost certain to chafe once again at that DH confinement.

Communal conflict defines politics in Africa. One of the earliest examples of such carnage occurred in Zanzibar, now part of Tanzania. Often considered to be quite tranquil, Zanzibar's recent electoral conflict, like its violent revolution, is a threat to this peace. Zanzibari cleavage remains a resource conflict, a contest over land and language. Such conflict, within and without Zanzibar, will not be fully understood under the rubric of 'racial' competition alone.

Nerds and outcasts take a lot of flack from the popular folks for no other reason than they're different. And for as long as they've been abused, there have been movies about them getting revenge. But instead of panty raids and hidden cameras a la Revenge of the Nerds, imagine what would've happened if the nerds were just a little more demented, if they had been pushed just a little too far. What would it be like if the popular kids really got their comeuppance?
The Final is the story of one such group of misfits pushed too far. They plan an elaborate costume party, drug the guests, and take out their revenge to teach them all lessons. Of course, those lessons must be painful and horrifying, but they need to be taught it seems.
While the film itself is the kind that makes people laugh nervously as it overstates its point, what makes this movie so well done is not only the actors involved, but the extreme level to which they go. Seriously, who hasn't been picked on by the school's ace jock? Or mocked by the flirty-slut-popular girls? And wouldn't it be great to, oh…maybe cut off the jock's fingers so he can't play football? Disfigure a bitch because she deserves it?
While the ringleader of the group, Dane, does get a bit super-villainy and monologues throughout the whole thing, preaching about how wronged he was and how they turned him into a monster, it is surprisingly effective in this setting. However, the show is stolen, lock stock and barrel, by Lindsay Seidel, who plays the cute and demented Emily. When she's on the screen, there's a whole lot of spooky going on, and I mean that in a good way.
One reason why The Final rings so haunting is because of tragedies like Columbine, where the people who thought they were slighted decided to seek revenge. This film is the logical progression, showing just what can happen when someone is pushed too far.

The nine-day mission will visit Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Kuwait. It will meet government officials, business chambers and sovereign wealth funds – the five state-owned wealth funds in the Gulf have assets of more than $US1.3 trillion.
Mr Hawke was Australia's longest-serving Labor prime minister and could be the country's first leader, sitting or retired, to visit Saudi Arabia.
"This business mission will provide an opportunity for individual companies to have exposure to valuable high-level business links," Mr Hawke said.
Mr Costello was Australia's longest serving treasurer. He retired from his safe Liberal seat in Melbourne last year and now works for investment bank BKK Partners.
"Many Australian companies have done well in opening markets in the Gulf region," he said. "There is now a great opportunity to tap inward investment from the Gulf region to Australia."

The screening tool on this website tells me that my kids might qualify for CHIP. Does that mean you'll approve my application?
The only way we can tell if your children can get CHIP or Children's Medicaid is by looking at the information you give us on your application form. You have to apply to be approved. Apply now online.
Want someone to help you?
I'm divorced. The court says I am supposed to provide health insurance for my kids, but I don't have a job. Can I apply for CHIP/Children's Medicaid for my children?
Yes, if you live with the children at least half the time and provide for them, you can apply. To learn more, call 2-1-1. When you call, pick a language and then, press 2.
My children are 19 and 21 years old, but they still are full-time students. Can they still get CHIP coverage?
No. CHIP only covers children age 18 and younger. You might want to see what's available through www.texashealthoptions.com. This is a site sponsored by the Texas Department of Insurance, and it has information for people looking for affordable health insurance.
My husband lost his job and is getting unemployment benefits. Can I apply for CHIP/Children's Medicaid while he is on unemployment? If so, how do I send proof of that income with the application?
You can send us a copy of the letter the Texas Workforce Commission sent your husband telling him he would receive unemployment benefits. If he does not have that letter but you have online access to your unemployment debit account, you can print out a statement showing the amount deposited and how often it is deposited.
My children have health insurance but the premiums and co-payments are really expensive. Can I sign them up for CHIP/Children's Medicaid?
CHIP is designed for children who do not have access to other health insurance. Your children might qualify if their current health insurance coverage costs more than 10% of the family's gross income (the money you are paid before taxes and deductions).
To learn more about CHIP/Children's Medicaid, call 2-1-1. When you call, pick a language and then, press 2.
I'm 7 months pregnant. Can I apply for CHIP now so that when my baby is born she'll be covered?
If you have other children you can apply at any time. If this is your first child, you can only apply now if you apply for the CHIP perinatal services. This is coverage for your unborn baby during your pregnancy and after birth. If you have health insurance that already covers your pregnancy, you can't get CHIP perinatal coverage. Otherwise, you can start working on your application now and send it to us after your baby is born. Apply now or ask for an application by calling 2-1-1. When you call, pick a language and then, press 2.
My children do not qualify for CHIP or Children's Medicaid, but they need to see a doctor. What can I do?
You can dial 2-1-1 and find out if there are any services in your town that can help you. 2-1-1 has a long list of local services, both free and low-cost, for people in need. When you call, pick a language and then, press 1. You also can search online at www.211Texas.org. Click on "Search for Services."
I've looked at the CHIP income guidelines and I know our income is too high to qualify for the program. Do you know what other options we have for getting low-cost health insurance for our kids?
You can get information about private heath insurance at the Texas Department of Insurance website, www.texashealthoptions.com. You can also call 1-800-252-3439 to ask them about other insurance options that might be available.

After decades of perpetual increase, childhood asthma rates are finally going down in the United States. These results come from a thirteen year long study started in 2001 involving over 150,000 children. The study was lead by Dr. Lara Akinbami from the National Center for Health Statistics. The results were published in the journal of Pediatrics two weeks ago.
From 1980 to 1995, childhood asthma rates doubled in the US in part because of increasing awareness and diagnosis of the disease. The new study shows that rates continued to increase until they hit a peak at 9.3% in 2010. After that, the rate began to decrease and was at 8.3% when the study ended in 2013.
However, asthma rates vary across ages, races and regions. The most significant decline in asthma rates were seen in children below age 5, Mexican children, Midwestern children, and children from families that weren't poor. Asthma rates stayed roughly the same in black children, and white children from the Northwest and West. Asthma rates increased in children aged 10 to 17, children from the South, and children from poor families.
It is unknown what factors have caused asthma to decline overall. One possibility is that air pollution in the United States has also declined over the last several years. Either way, the study is good news. Although, Dr. Akinbami warns, "We're cautious because we never know what the next year is going to show."

Smiley is still on his Well-Deserved Vacation, but he left these droll tales as a modest Christmas gift for his readers.
Very modest ...
Thought for the Day
From Len Hodges, of Holden: "No matter how serious life requires you to be, everybody needs a friend to act goofy with."
Dangerous talk
Jean and Jess got this one from their friends Des and Virginia, "two 'by proxy' Florida Cajuns":
"The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
"On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks then the British or Americans.
"Conclusion: Eat what you like. It's speaking English that kills you."
Thought for the Day
From Lydia Pourciau: "It's called 'take home pay' because you can't afford to go anywhere else with it."
Sign language
Shirley Fleniken reports this sign at a propane gas filling station: "Tank heaven for little grills."
Temporary attitude
Maurice Lasserre of the Cajun French Music Association says this happened at a recent dance class for second- and third-graders:
Dance instructor Bonnie Dugas overheard a young man warn the young lady who was his dance partner, "Don't touch me until you have to!"
Risky business
Harriet St. Amant tells of the tourist who got out of his car in downtown Washington, D.C., and said to a man standing near the curb, "Would you watch my car while I go in the store?"
"What?" the man huffed. "Do you realize I am a member of the U.S. Senate?"
"No, I didn't realize that," the tourist said. "But I'm in a hurry, so I guess I'll have to trust you anyway."
Ignorance is bliss
Michael Doyle says his friend Paul Allen was taking his grandson Steven to school one day when Paul pointed out several Brahman cows and calves in a pasture.
His grandson asked what cows were black and white, and Paul answered that those were Holsteins and they produced milk.
Brahman cows, he added, were used for beef and hamburgers.
Steven immediately asked, "Do the Brahman cows KNOW that?"

Beijing, June 7 (Xinhua-ANI): Visiting French President Francois Hollande and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed here Friday to enhance bilateral political and economic relations.
In a joint statement released after their summit, the two leaders agreed to promote bilateral political ties and form a "two plus two" dialogue between foreign and defense ministers from the two countries.
Japan and France will also deepen their cooperation in counter- terrorism and nuclear non-proliferation, the statement said.
The two leaders agreed to accelerate ongoing talks for a Japan- EU free trade agreement as such an agreement will better serve the interests of both sides.
The two countries said they should promote exports of nuclear power facilities to emerging economies as exporting such technologies is one of the ways to drive Japan's stagnant economy under Abe's economic policies.
Abe and Hollande also agreed to further cooperate in the areas such as tackling climate change and continuously assisting African countries.
The two countries said that they will boost bilateral people-to- people exchanges and issued a five-year roadmap to guide the implementations of the statement.
Hollande is on a three-day state visit to Japan that started Thursday. It is his first visit to the country since he was elected president last May. (Xinhua-ANI)

I was chatting with an acquaintance recently about Flannery O'Connor (1925 - 1964) when he told me about a recent find and that it is available on the Internet.
In January 2012, Erin Z. Bass, editor of Deep South, an online magazine, wrote: "Professor of English with a focus on Southern lit and women's studies at UL Lafayette, Dr. Mary Ann Wilson was cleaning out her office and came across an old audio reel labeled 'Flannery O'Connor.' It turned out to be a recording of the author's 1962 lecture at the university and is one of the few of her voice that exists." (The article can be found here.)
To access Flannery O'Connor reading her essay "Some aspects of the grotesque in southern fiction" click here and follow the links. There are also links to a lecture she gave at Notre Dame University in 1957 as well as her reading her short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find."
Flannery O'Connor is a beacon of light and sanity in the contested world of art and theology.
"Writers who see by the light of their Christian faith will have, in these times, the sharpest eye for the grotesque, for the perverse, and for the unacceptable," O'Connor said. "To the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures." ("The fiction writer and his country" in Mystery & Manners: Occasional Prose, 1970)
According to Bass' blog, the University of Louisiana in Lafayette is planning a symposium on Flannery O'Connor in November to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her visit there.

opengl class
I joined the class late, so I missed the first day, then the teacher wasn't there the next two days. Then I went the next two days and it was all "has anyone figured out how to install the stuff" just that for 2 class days, then idr then I missed for a funeral and there was a project due but I didn't even look at it and then I didn't go the next 2 times because bleah and then I didn't go the next time because of some other crap I had to do, and then I'm about to go to class today and I've been looking at the project and I don't know how to do it and the textbook only gives segments of code and stuff I found online isn't working either and I don't know what any of this initglut crap does, so I have no idea how to just "try stuff" so now I'm back to thinking I just need to read the book, but this project covers stuff from chapter 6 and I'm only on chapter 2, and we're also supposed to read another textbook too? which means I need to read like 12 chapters *right now* and who knows if they'll even answer my questions? and the assignment said we could modify square.cpp which was provided in lab 2, but I don't see anything called lab 2 or square.cpp anywhere on blackboard, so I guess now I'll go to class and either just read the book the whole time or ask the teacher where the hell square.cpp is and I predict that she will mumble some crap and I'll be like "ok" and then try to do what she says and then find that it doesn't make any sense so i can't do it and then I'll have to ask again on friday, so you know what? fuck it. I'll just read the book while in class. I'll just read until I've read through chapter 6? No, that sounds horrible. ARg. All paths lead to failure. I should not have signed up for this class. I'm a go ask the teacher about square.cpp now.

AbstractA small, lightweight, man-packable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) would provide significant advantages for covert reconnaissance and mapping applications in riverine environments. Presently, the smallest AUVs used by the Navy are still too heavy (approximately 40 lbs dry weight) and were not designed to operate effectively in the complex shallow water environment of rivers. Through Phase 1 SBIR funding, SeaLandAire team has developed an ultra-light (~15 lbs) Compact Riverine AUV (CRAUV) design for mapping submerged obstacles. Several innovative concepts have allowed us to maintain performance margins while reducing cost, weight, and power consumption. Building on our Phase 1 success, we are proposing to fabricate and test the CRAUV in a realistic riverine environment utilizing Phase 2 SBIR funds.

Pittsburgh's 60 Second Forecast
Oddly enough, after a week dominated by a plunge of Arctic air, the threat of thunderstorms is looming Sunday in parts of the Midwest, that may pose a challenge for some National Football League games.
A strong low pressure system in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes will pull increasingly mild and humid air ahead of a sharp cold front. With a powerhouse jet-stream level disturbance punching east into the cold front, the stage is set for thunderstorms from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley to the Lower Mississippi Valley.
(MORE: Sunday's Severe Threat)
Here are the potential games impacted, including the latest forecast thinking and uncertainties. Click on the link to get the latest weekend forecast.
Baltimore at Chicago (1 p.m. EST)
- Potential impacts: Rain and thunderstorms likely, possibly strong or severe, with strong winds. A lightning delay is very possible.
Cleveland at Cincinnati (1 p.m. EST)
- Potential impacts: Rain and thunderstorms are a good bet, both for pre-game tailgate and during the game itself. Some storms may be severe. A lightning delay is possible. Strong south to southwest winds, as well.
Detroit at Pittsburgh (1 p.m. EST)
- Potential impacts: A good chance of showers and thunderstorms. A lightning delay is possible. Winds increasing.
N.Y. Jets at Buffalo (1 p.m. EST)
- Potential impacts: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A lightning delay is possible. Winds increasing during the game.
While these games will be in domes or retractable roof stadiums, thunderstorms are also possible in New Orleans. Keep this in mind for your pre-game tailgate.
For now, it appears soaking rain may hold off for games in Philadelphia and the New Jersey meadowlands Sunday.
Lightning and Stadiums
A lightning strike at a stadium packed with tens of thousands of fans is a chilling thought.
Thanks to a partnership between the NFL, NCAA and the meteorology community, we're making progress addressing the threat of lightning at outdoor stadiums. But there's still plenty of room for improvement.
For example, the kickoff of the NFL's opening night game in Denver on Sep. 5, 2013 was commendably delayed 33 minutes due to a nearby thundershower.
(MORE: Lightning Delays NFL Opening Night)
The call to action on the Jumbotron mentioned "severe lightning activity in the Denver area." The call to action said, "If you feel the need, take cover in a sheltered area."
As you can see in the photo at right, few fans, at least in the sections near the big screen, felt the need to take shelter.
Just two days later, an NCAA football game in East Lansing, Mich. between the host Michigan State Spartans and the University of South Florida was also delayed by lightning.
This time, the student section refused to take shelter, despite a radar loop showing approaching thunderstorms on the stadium's giant screen.
Finally, Michigan State head basketball coach Tom Izzo, a revered figure there, grabbed the microphone to urge the students to take cover, pointing to the radar and promising to sit in the student section after the delay.
Izzo received a standing ovation from the meteorology community for his actions. But why did it take a legendary coach to tell a group of college students to seek shelter, as apparently most of the rest of the fans had already done?
Another NCAA game was delayed by lightning that day in Baton Rouge, La., however many fans did not find safe shelter, despite a public address announcement urging fans to do so.
(MORE: Lightning delays NCAA games on Sep. 7, 2013)
If league officials and meteorologists deem lightning risk to be high enough to delay a game and pull players and coaches off the field, fans should also seek shelter immediately, even if it's not raining.
According to Dr. Greg Forbes (Twitter), severe weather expert for The Weather Channel, cloud-to-ground lightning can strike as far as 10 miles away from the thunderstorm's rainshaft in rare occasions.
Here are just a few recent examples of lightning strikes near, or in some cases, at stadiums:
- Florida high school halftime show Sep. 13, 2013
- Texas Rangers baseball game July 2012
- Canadian Football League game July 2010
It's also a myth that lightning only strikes the tallest objects. Even if a stadium has a series of small lightning rods, you're still in danger of a strike in your open-air seat.
(MORE: Lighting Safety | Lightning's Destructive Power)
The NCAA has the following protocol for lightning delays:
- Lightning detected 15 miles away: On-field officials are notified.
- Lightning detected 10 miles away: On-field officials are notified and a public address announcement is made recommending fans should seek shelter.
- Lightning detected 6 miles away: Game is delayed until 30 minutes after the last lightning strike within 6 miles. Players, officials taken off the field.
The NFL has procedures when lightning threatens.
"We have a security meeting at 100 minutes (before kickoff), at 90 minutes a meeting with the TV teams, and we go through the scenarios in case there is weather," NFL vice president of game operations Mike Kensil told the Associated Press in mid-September 2013. "We go through our meteorological services and the services the stadium uses. Safety is paramount."
NOAA's National Weather Service has put together a lightning safety toolkit for stadiums and other large venues, with general guidelines for those in charge of large events.
Here are some tips to keep in mind before you head to the stadium:
1) Check the forecast. You probably already do this when deciding what to wear to the tailgate, and if you'll need rain gear. Any chance of thunderstorms should keep the threat of lightning in the back of your mind.
2) Download The Weather Channel app for your smartphone. If the sky is turning dark, check the app's radar to see if storms are moving toward your location, assuming stadium bandwidth allows. This can give you advance warning.
3) Take shelter immediately when a lightning delay is announced in a covered course, or other substantial, enclosed area away from metal structures. Do not stay in your seat and do not wait for rain. A lightning strike may precede rain, if any falls at all.

Wish they could share the award for Ligitaor of the Year. When oh When is Carley going to be the friend to Jason that he has been for her? She should be happy that her best friend is happy! And Lucky and Sam are really snots. All they have done should be forgotten/forgiven because???? Their " BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE" attitude is really rotten. You would think they were blameless in all that has happened so I wish they could own up to their mistakes say they are sorry and start over again.

I stop watching because Jason is with Elizebeth he and Sam should be together and having children.
QueenRuler said:
Hi guys. Ya know for the longest time, everyone adored Sonny and Brenda (remember those days?) and just couldn't accept Sonny with anyone else, until, of course, Carly came along. Then, there was a recast of Carly, and another, and another which brings us to the current Carly, who was and is great with Sonny, whether as a wife or a friend/foe. But it is really refreshing to see Sonny and Kate. They are a perfect fit, and I agree, they should get together for good! Let's hope they resolve their differences.
Hi again pretty lady. I hope you will tune in again. Sam and Jason could find their way back to each other -- ya never know.

QueenRuler, I do remember those days of Sonny and Brenda back in the '90s. I skipped many a cla*s to watch their romance blossom, wither, only to blossom again. And I totally agree with Krisy1980 that Kate and Sonny do share something very special; General Hospital was very smart to bring someone back into Sonny's life before he became the don of a sleepy upstate New York town I give a lot of the credit to Megan Ward (Kate) as she is quite likeable and a damn good actress (if you can check out her work on Boomtown!) With that being said, should the character of Brenda ever return - and only played by Vanessa Marcil - I would have to go and root for the repairing of S&B.
Pretty lady, I totally agree with you regarding Jason and Elizabeth's pairing. She is just a saint and it's annoying... but I haven't turned off GH because there are a lot of other things to like. Come home to the mother ship...maybe you'll find yourself liking Sam and Lucky. Personally, I think they're a better fit.
toye said:
I'm loving GH right about now! But I really do hope Sam find peace w/in herself to move on. And I do agree Sam is really good with Lucky!

Indonesia's Foreign Minister
Mr Natalegawa, speaking ahead of a Foreign Affairs Commission hearing in Jakarta, said Indonesia wanted Australia to agree on and implement a code of conduct on intelligence matters.
Australian Prime Minister
But Mr Natalegawa said the restoration of co-operation on people smuggling and military exercises hinges on clinching the agreement which it wants signed by both leaders.
Indonesia cancelled military exercises and people smuggling co-operation in response to revelations the Australian Signals Directorate had tapped the phone of President
The first asylum-seeker boat in more than a week arrived at Christmas Island on Wednesday.
Abbott anxious to repair relationship
Mr Natalegawa said only the first step in talks between ministers to discuss the phone-tapping issue had been fulfilled. Foreign Minister
"I've been in this job sufficiently long to know it's not wise to have a time line or a deadline [for restoring relations]," Mr Natalegawa said.
But Mr Abbott said he was keen for Australia and Indonesia to resume full co-operation as soon as possible.
"I am confident that we will be able to use the experiences of the last week or so for the long-term good of the relationship," Mr Abbott said.
"I'm still discussing President Yudhoyono's statement with my cabinet colleagues and we will be responding quite soon, but I think it's important to properly digest the statement so we can ensure things go forward on the best possible basis,'' he said.
Earlier, the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Committee demanded Mr Natalegawa reveal details of Mr Abbott's letter to the Indonesian president. The deputy chairman of the commission, Tubagus Hasanuddin, said the Indonesian public could only judge whether President Yudhoyono had responded appropriately if the contents of the letter were made public.

Michael Eisner
It hasn't been a supercalifragilistic year for Michael D. Eisner. The 62-year-old Walt Disney Co. (DIS ) CEO weathered a hostile takeover attempt in February, and a month later he was stripped of his chairmanship following a 45% no-confidence vote by shareholders. The year ended with a public airing of management missteps in the 1996 firing of President Michael Ovitz. And before Eisner left for the holidays, Disney settled SEC charges that it failed to disclose transactions between the company and its board members from 1999 through 2001. Disney admitted no wrongdoing.
After a yearlong battle with Walt's nephew Roy Disney, Eisner is retiring in 2006, when his contract expires. President Robert A. Iger is the only internal candidate to succeed him -- which "shows how weak a bench Eisner had," according to Greg Taxin, CEO of shareholder advisory firm Glass Lewis & Co. Whoever inherits the job will no doubt try to lure back blockbuster maker Pixar Animation Studios (PIXR ), whose chairman, Steve P. Jobs, battled with Eisner. Pixar's last film for Disney will be Cars in 2006.
Oddly enough, Eisner's departure comes as Disney appears to be on the mend. After six years of lackluster earnings, profits rose 64% in 2004. The stock climbed 18% over the past year. Still, that only brings it back to 1997 levels. The Head Mouseketeer will be leaving the stage without much applause.

Not that I'm complaining, but I would like to bring up the fact that the current picture of the Land of the Sea isn't really the land itself. It's the picture of the islands that are home to the Land of the Sea. This is a good picture of the Land of the Sea itself. File:Land of the Sea.jpg However, I don't think we could fit both pictures in the page. Any suggestions?--NinjaSheik 21:42, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

BELLEAIR — Mary Zelter, the 86-year-old woman who vanished last week and was found Monday night, died in an accidental drowning, the Medical Examiner's Office said Wednesday.
Zelter was found floating in the Intracoastal Waterway near a Clearwater boat ramp late Monday. Her submerged car was pulled from about 6 feet of water Tuesday morning.
While police have said there is no outward sign of criminal activity, Clearwater police spokeswoman Elizabeth Daly-Watts said it was too early to make a final conclusion. Police are still waiting for toxicology reports and for her car to dry out enough for it to be examined.
Zelter's daughter, Mary Lallucci, spoke briefly to reporters Wednesday morning in the driveway of her Belleair home.
She thanked police, the public and the media for helping in the search for her mother, who did not return Feb. 26 after signing out of her assisted living facility.
"The human kindness that has come forward is amazing," said Lallucci, 54, who works as senior vice president of client services for the Tampa office of Right Management, a career management and human resource consulting firm.
It is still a mystery to the family why Zelter disappeared. Lalluci said police believed that her mother drove into the water on the same day she vanished. She had no cell phone at the time; she usually went on short trips.
But a week ago Tuesday she drove to an Albertsons in Largo and bought $30 worth of merchandise, but she never returned to the facility.
Her body was recovered about 10 miles away.
Lallucci said the family will continue to call for the creation of a so-called Silver Alert system in Florida that would help locate missing and endangered older adults.
"We have no way yet of knowing whether it would have helped my mom," Lallucci said. "But there's no question that in a state with as many senior citizens as ours, the ability to rapidly alert law enforcement and citizens of a missing senior is essential."

It seems like the Malayalam industry has become a victim of many fake news and gossips. Social media brings out many news which are later slammed by the concerned person. Now there were news which claimed that National Award winning director Salim Ahamed is all set to direct a movie along with Manju Warrier and Suresh Gopi. But now the director has slammed all those news.
Ever since Manju Warrier has made her decision of coming back into the industry, media is giving much hype for the actress. Even her comeback venture for the Kalyan ad was given more importance by the media. It all shows the importance of the actress and that all her fans are eagerly waiting for her return.
Now Salim Ahamed has slammed reports claiming his movie with Manju and Suresh Gopi. Earlier, director Ranjith said that he has not yet tilted his movie which will be made with Mohanlal, Manju Warrier and Prithviraj as Man Friday. Many titles are into consideration, but nothing has been finalised yet, said the director.
Salim says that he has not signed any contract with the two actors. Discussions for his upcoming movie is still on. The movie will be completely shot in a foreign location and the cast is yet to be decided.
Now we have to wait till Ranjith confirms his movie name with Manju Warrier, and Salim Ahamed announces his cast for his upcoming movie!

A WOMAN has been arrested and charged by police investigating more than 20 incidents at Stourport where property was stolen from cars or vehicles were entered and searched.
The 32-year-old woman was arrested in Kidderminster yesterday and was charged last night with four offences of theft from motor vehicles.
The charges allege she stole two mobile phones, two sat navs and three debit cards from the cars which were parked in Kings Arms Lane, Hillside Close, Thirlmere Road and Berkeley Crescent between Saturday, April 26 and Wednesday, April 30.
The woman was released on police bail to appear at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Thursday, May 29.
Officers investigating a series of offences in Stourport from April 14 onwards involving cars being searched or having property stolen from them arrested a 24-year-old man on Wednesday on suspicion of theft but he has now had his bail cancelled and no further action will be taken against him.
Most of the incidents being investigated involved cars which had been left unlocked and police have renewed an appeal for owners to check their vehicles are secure when left unattended and to remove all valuables.
Property including sat-navs and other electrical items which were stolen from some of them may have been dumped in the area. Anyone finding items like these should hand them in at their nearest police station quoting incident 116-S-300414.

That level of recursion is normal,since there are 2000 nodes and 39894 edges,so thousands of possible combinations.For example, in the 16 mb file,there are 7000 nodes and 1225213 edges...
That level of recursion is normal,since there are 2000 nodes and 39894 edges,so thousands of possible combinations.For example, in the 16 mb file,there are 7000 nodes and 1225213 edges...
500mb stack = recursion level 4,310,578 before stack overflow. Is this level normal? If it is then you're going to need to reduce the amount of memory that's used on the stack on each recursion. i.e. pass less parameters to max_peso, make more globals etc...
Also MAX needs to be upped to 2000 for t5.in

Not sure,like i said 2000 nodes and 39894 edges...There are a variable j which is not used anymore,it was the first version of the program,but all the others are necessary...Updated the code in the first post

The max number of recursion levels using a function call with no parameters, return codes or local variables and 500 mb stack size is 5,952,618 before a stack overflow. You're not going to get any better than this.
You're going to have look at performing the calculations with no recursive calls.
There´s no way of doing those calculations without recursion...Thnks anyway...
Hope anyone has an idea of solving that stack thing.I also have to make all the arrays dinamic,already asked that in a previous post.both percurso and lista should have only the number of nodes.This stack thing is driving me nuts...

Well,yesterday i managed to implement the program with almost no recursion.The stack overflow problem is solved.But now, when i run the program with t4.in, i get an infinite cycle.Since this is quite odd,i tried the debug in eclipse,saw the program compute sucessive flows correctly until it just closed eclipse!no error,no infinite cycle, just closed!Can anyone understand this?i believe there´s only one or 2 details more in order to make the program work perfectly.Here´s the new code:
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int *percurso; /* stores the path */ int coroa=0; /* just a variable, could have another name */ int maxpeso=-1000000000; /* infinite, because flow can be negative*/ int in; /* represents always the first node */ int ja_ta=0; /* indicates if all the flows have been computed */ int somei=0; /*indicates if any flow has been made */ typedef struct as_adjacencias { int vertice; int peso; struct as_adjacencias *proximo; } ADJACENCIAS; typedef ADJACENCIAS* adjacencias; /*adds a new element to the adjacency list */ void insere (adjacencias* Adjacencias, int nof, int peso) { if(*Adjacencias == NULL) { *Adjacencias=(adjacencias)malloc(sizeof(ADJACENCIAS)); if(*Adjacencias == NULL) return; (*Adjacencias) -> vertice=nof; (*Adjacencias) -> peso=peso; (**Adjacencias).proximo = NULL; } else insere (&(**Adjacencias).proximo, nof, peso); } /* gives the next edge of node "elemento". For example, if we * have 2 paths from node 5 to node 7, one from node 5 to 6 and * then to 7,and another directly from 5 to 7:after we computed * the path which involves the 3 nodes, we want to compute the * one that involves only 5 and 7.In this case, proximo would * be the transition with 7.*/ adjacencias proximo_elemento (int elemento, adjacencias* Adjacencias) { while (elemento != (*Adjacencias) -> vertice) Adjacencias = &(**Adjacencias).proximo; return (**Adjacencias).proximo; } /* stores the edges, and the capacities of each path*/ adjacencias *lista; /* puts a node in the percurso array which corresponds to the path */ void poe_na_fila(int x) { percurso[coroa]=x; coroa++; } /* searches the list of one node, for the capacitie of * node b */ int peso_elemento(adjacencias *Adjacencias, int b) { while (b!= (*Adjacencias) -> vertice) Adjacencias = &(**Adjacencias).proximo; return (*Adjacencias) -> peso; } /* after each path has been calculated, this function * computes the flow of the path by adding the peso from * each transition */ int somador(int percurso[],int nos) { int i=0,soma=0; somei=1; for(i=0; i< coroa-1;i++) soma += peso_elemento(&lista[percurso[i]],percurso[i+1]); return soma; } /* searches for paths * if ja_ta is 1, it means that all flows have been calculated * after that, the maximum flow is maxpeso*/ void max_peso(int source, int sink, int nodes, adjacencias proximo) { int n = 0; while(ja_ta==0) { if (proximo==NULL && source == in) /* if all paths have been calculated */ { ja_ta = 1; return; } else { if (source == sink) { /* if we found a complete path */ poe_na_fila(source); n = somador(percurso, nodes); if (n > maxpeso) maxpeso = n; coroa = coroa - 1; percurso[coroa] = 0; coroa = coroa - 1; proximo=proximo_elemento(source, &(*(lista+percurso[coroa]))); source=percurso[coroa]; } else { if (proximo==NULL) { percurso[coroa] = 0; coroa -= 1; proximo=proximo_elemento(source, &(*(lista+percurso[coroa]))); source=percurso[coroa]; } else { poe_na_fila(source); source=proximo->vertice; proximo=lista[proximo->vertice]; } } } } } int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int noi,nof,peso,i,u,j,arcos,nos,inicio,fim; FILE *fp; inicio=fim=noi=nof=i=j=peso=arcos=nos=u=0; fp=fopen(argv[1],"r"); if (fp==NULL) printf("Impossivel abrir o ficheiro %s\n", argv[1]); else { fscanf(fp,"%d",&nos); percurso=(int *)malloc((sizeof(int)*(nos+1))); /* number of nodes */ lista=(adjacencias *)malloc((sizeof(ADJACENCIAS)*(nos+1))); fscanf(fp,"%d",&arcos); for(u=0;u<=nos;u++) { percurso[u]=0; } for(j=0; j<=nos;j++) lista[j]=NULL; for(i=0;i<arcos;i++) { fscanf(fp,"%d %d %d", &noi,&nof,&peso); insere(&lista[noi],nof,peso); } fscanf(fp,"%d %d", &inicio, &fim); fclose(fp); in=inicio; max_peso(inicio,fim,nos,lista[inicio]); if(somei) /* if no sum has been made, then theres no maxpeso */ printf("%d\n",maxpeso); else printf("NA\n"); free(lista); free(percurso); } return 0; }

You should be checking the return codes from your your fscanf() functions. There may be other problems, I haven't read all of your code.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
The return codes?you mean if i´m "fecthing" the right parameters?Already confirmed that, the last thing fscanf catches is the inicio and fim nodes, 1 and 300.Must be another problem

This might not be related to your problem, but you should be doing it anyway.Code:if (fscanf(fp, "%d", &myint) != 1) { /* Handle error */ } OR if (fscanf(fp, "%d %d", &myint1, &myint2) != 2) { /* Handle error */ }
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Yes, i understood,but since the files that my program analyzes are supposed to be always in the same format,i guess there´s no need for that.Thnks for the advice,anyway.Must be another thing causing this strange error
Lesson number one, never trust anything that is outside of your control. At least, that's in the "real world", I suppose a homework example is different, so it's up to you if you want to check the input or not.
Now to the infinite loops. Read through your code, finding all the possible points at which the code could loop, then put some printf()'s within them. Run the prog, and see which printf()'s get output infinitely, then debug from there.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
I´m a very trustfull person
No,serious, it was said to me that the inputs will be all in the same format,no need to check them.
As for the cycle thing,i tried the program with small inputs,like in the first post,and it worked. And, since eclipse has a good debug I added a breakpoint in the point where it computes a flow.In the "not so large" input file,t4.in, the flows are correctly computed but at random flow,because i made the debug 3 times,eclipse closes whithout gaving any error message...Also the flow could be always the same,which would be strange,but would mean that the program entered an infinite cycle,but no,they´re all different and are correct.
Now i tried to run the program with t6.in , the 16Mb input file, and got exactly the same thing: that strange "infinite cycle".Run the debug with the file,the flows are also correctly computed(even saw the final flow),but ,as for t4.in,eclipse closes at a random flow.Odd...

Updated the code. Now all the arrays are dinamic.Still the infinite cycle problem...
Maybe this never becomes true:Originally posted by Lost__Soul
Still the infinite cycle problem...
>>if (proximo == NULL && source == in)
Understanding your code is difficult for me, as most of the text isn't in English All I can suggest is you determine when YOU think that test should become true, and do some debugging to determine why your prog never appears to come to the same conclusion.
Also, get rid of the unnecessary global variables, especially percurso, which conflicts with a local variable in the somador function.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
Well,i guess u really arent understanding my code,since there´s no conflict what so ever...I´ll try to write more commentarys.And,please, try to be more attentive to the other replys to my post:The stop condition IS verified in other inputs, like the one i gave in the first place;and i already did the debug!like i said,after a lot of flows computed,at a random place,the program just closes!I cant do more than this!
Ok,i updated the code again, if u cant understand it this way, please just try to run the code in debug with the example from the first post and then with t4.in,try to find the differences,because, apart from being a bigger file,i cant see any others...
Oh,and let me try to explain the stop condition once more...
So the program calculates paths, for example we have the path:
1-2-5-6-8,which are the number of nodes in percurso.
After computing the flow in this path, it would be good to return to node 6 and see if there were any alternative paths from 6 to 8.If there arent any,we just go to node 5 and repeat the same analysis.When it founds an alternative path it stores the nodes in percurso until it reaches node 8 again.When during the backwards movement we have reached the first node,the "in",and there´s no alternative path in node in,so proximo=NULL, then it means that all paths have been analyzed and the max flow is maxpeso.Hope i was clear enough...
