—Look under Applications Web Browsers Safari

Safari, the Mac OS X default Web browser, offers you a superior Web experience with outstanding performance. Even the most complex of pages load at breakneck speed. In fact, Safari loads pages more quickly than any other Mac Web browser. But that's not all. Safari uses the advanced interface technologies underlying Mac OS X to offer you an all-new view of the Web, one that's much easier to use.

Safari includes a text edit field for Google searches built in to ever window for. SnapBack allows you to jump back to the last address you typed in or selected from the bookmarks list, for when you get lost down a sequence of links. Safari has the slickest tabbed browsing options, which saves screen clutter since you don't have to have each page in a separate window.

Here are some of the technical highlights:

• LiveConnect - LiveConnect is now supported for Java applets, allowing for bi-directional communication between Javascript and Java. Many Java sites that didn't work in earlier versions of Safari will now work properly in 1.2.
  
• Personal Certificate Support - Personal certificates are now supported, so sites that were previously inaccessible are now available in the latest Safari.
  
• keygen Implementation - The keygen element is now supported, so you can now generate key pairs from e.g., VeriSign.
  
• Full Keyboard Access - You can now tab to all controls (and optionally links) on a page. There has been much confusion over this feature, since the ability to tab to all controls honors the OS setting.
  
  In order to tab to popup menus, you need to go to your system preferences, select the Keyboard and Mouse panel, and then select the Keyboard tab. At the bottom of the tab is a checkbox next to the words "Turn on full keyboard access." Check that box to enable full keyboard access, and you'll find that you'll now be able to tab to popups all over the operating system (including Safari).
  
  Another complaint I've seen on forums was that you couldn't type letters to have the popup jump directly to a selected item (e.g., typing "U" to jump to "United States"). Again, we obey the OS behavior, which does allow this, but only after you hit the spacebar when the control has the keyboard focus. Multi-letter typing is supported to complete to a specific item. Try it. You'll like it. :)
  
• Improved Downloads - A download halted by the user or stalled due to network troubles can now be resumed in the Download Manager. You'll also find a number of other improvements to downloads, including the ability to select individual downloads to e.g., delete them, the ability to save images to specific locations via the context menu, and the removal of the 4-connection limitation when downloading while browsing.
  
• Printing Improvements - The "huge margin" problem for printing has been fixed, and Safari is also smarter now about scaling the page when it contains long unwrappable lines. In addition, the CSS2 page break properties are now supported (for values of "always") as per the CSS2.1 Paged Media specification. The speed of printing has been improved dramatically, and you can also now disable backgrounds when printing.
  
• International Domain Name Support - Safari 1.2 supports the IDN standard, which allows for non-ASCII characters in host names.
  
• RTL and International Text Improvements - Handling of RTL and international text has been improved for better Hebrew, Arabic and Hindi support.
  
• Accessibility Improvements - The title attribute is now supported as a tooltip, and 1.2 also supports the accesskey attribute for accessing specific objects in the Web page via the keyboard. In addition, minimum font size is now supported and exposed in Safari's preferences.
  
• Mini Form Controls - Safari 1.2 now analyzes the font size specified by a Web page for form controls and swaps in the mini and small versions as needed. Sites like Travelocity will now render properly with mini form controls in place.
  
• XMLHTTPRequest - XMLHttpRequest is now supported, which means that those of you subscribed to Orkut can now rate your friends. ;)
  
• CSS2 Table Support - Table support has been improved, with border-spacing now fully supported, empty-cells supported, and border collapsing supported.
  
• DHTML Performance Improvements - Safari 1.2 is light years ahead of 1.1 in terms of DHTML performance. When objects change size or position, Safari 1.2 will only repaint the affected areas (whereas older versions would repaint the entire visible area every time).
  
• hover/active improvements - Safari 1.2 has a faster (and more correct) implementation of :hover and :active, so it will no longer get into "stuck hover" states or mistakenly put multiple overlapping objects into :hover simultaneously.
  
• Generated Content Support - 1.2 supports the positioning and floating of generated content as per the CSS2.1 spec, and many bugs have been fixed in generated content, particularly with first-letter and first-line. First-letter is now fully dynamic, and first-line styles will now be inherited properly into the descendants of the line. Both styles will even work across nested block-level children (something I believe that no other browser can yet do).
  
• Marquee Support - All forms of marquees are supported, and the behavior is designed to match Internet Explorer for windows. The start() and stop() methods are also supported, so that marquee animations can be paused and resumed. Safari supports marquees using a special overflow value in conjunction with the CSS3 draft properties, and so it's easy to disable the animation while still allowing access to the content (all via a user stylesheet).
  
• Small-caps Support - Safari 1.2 supports small-caps variants for fonts. It does not support true variants but instead synthesizes the font using the 70% heuristic employed by other browsers (like Mozilla).
  
• Stability - Many crashes and hangs have been addressed.
  
• Performance - Safari has added smarts when transitioning between pages (e.g., preserving the vertical scrollbar to avoid an extra layout), so that pages load more quickly on fast networks. This is just one example of several performance enhancements we made to speed up browsing since 1.1.
  
• Caching Improvements - Safari's WebCore cache was not honoring expiration time, and this led to stale content remaining in the cache. This issue has been addressed.
  
• HTTPS Speed Improvements - HTTPS pages load more quickly in Safari 1.2, thanks to bug fixes and improvements.
  
• CSS Load Improvements - Safari no longer aggressively fetches images specified in CSS files but instead waits until the image is used in the Web page before loading it. This reduces the load time on sites that use generic cross-site CSS files with lots of rules that might never apply on many pages. (Translation: SprintPCS is fast now.

—Available in all labs.
—Look under Applications Utilities Sherlock

Sherlock 3 displays custom information in content-specific windows, so you can grasp the information you want quickly.

Sherlock is dramatically better than standard web browsers at retrieving and displaying some of the most practical and useful information available on the internet, like stock news, general headlines, movie previews, locations and show times, yellow pages listings, eBay auction activity and much, much more. Sherlock displays each of these ‘channels’ in its own arrangement of columns and panes. You can click quickly through the information to find exactly what you’re interested in, Sherlock changes the window presentation appropriately as you move among channels.

Interested in going to a movie tonight or this weekend? The Movie channel lets you browse among movie title or nearby theaters, and it will show you everything from theater locations to show times, ratings, run times, summaries, and trailers, all in a single window that lets you switch instantly among the possibilities. The Stock channel keeps a list of what you look up so you can click among them for the current price, a performance graph you can change the time line for on the fly via a popup menu, and a list of news headlines you can browse, reading the stories in the pane below. Want to follow the story to its web page? A double click will take you there.

By the way, Sherlock uses your browser to fetch web pages from any channel when appropriate, and some of the channels are designed explicitly to help you scan among possibilities looking for the page you want. Type the name of a person in the Pictures channel, for instance, and get back thumbnails directly linked to the pages with the full images, and the details about the size of the images as well.

It’s best, though, to think of Sherlock as a service provider that just happens to use your browser to fetch web pages as one of the services it provides. Need something translated from one language to another? Ask Sherlock. Want a real dictionary definition of a word alongside a real thesaurus listing of related words? Ask Sherlock. Wish you could use the yellow pages without wrestling with all that floppiness and weight, and instantly see a location map for each entry you browse? Ask Sherlock. And you can look forward to asking Sherlock to perform more and more services for you as time goes by.

SPSS 11.0.4 [2005.09.06] (back to top)
http://www.spss.com/spss_mac/ for more information.

—Available in all labs, but not on Intel-based Macs.*
—Look under Applications Science & Engineering SPSS 11.0.4

SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a data management and analysis product. Among its features are modules for statistical data analysis, including descriptive statistics such as plots, frequencies, charts, and lists, as well as sophisticated inferential and multivariate statistical procedures like analysis of variance (ANOVA), factor analysis, cluster analysis, and categorical data analysis. SPSS is particularly well-suited to survey research, though by no means is it limited to just this topic of exploration.

SPSS is a modular product. That is, it requires the Base System module to run, but you may wish to use other modules (typically Advanced Statistics and Professional Statistics) to carry out specific analyses not supported by the Base product.

Compatibility
SPSS 11.0.4 for Mac OS X is fully compatible with SPSS 11.0.3 for Mac OS X, SPSS 11.0.2 for Mac OS X, SPSS 11.0.1 for Mac OS X, and SPSS 10 for Macintosh versions. When opening output files generated by SPSS 10, SPSS 11 will convert them into its own new output format. In doing so, it will add ''.old" to the original SPSS 10 output file name. After opening an SPSS 10 output file in SPSS 11 for Mac OS X, its name will look like this: [name.old.SPO].

Using Windows files: SPSS 11 for Mac OS X can read Data Editor files (.SAV) and Syntax files (.SPS) saved from SPSS for Windows version 6.1 or later. It can open output files (.SPO) generated with SPSS for Windows version 11.0 or later with some minor limitations. For more information on using Windows files, see the help topic called "Notes for SPSS for Windows Users" in the "SPSS at a Glance" section (accessed from the Help menu).

What's new in this version
A number of annoying bugs that existed in SPSS 11.0.3 have been fixed. Repairs include the following:

• Now SPSS 11.0.4 can be launched on Mac OS X 10.4 (aka Tiger).
• Now datasets on a mapped windows drive can be opened.
• Now the application does not crash when running a set of syntax several times.

* Intel-based Mac compatibility issue
Unfortunately, SPSS is not currently compatible with Intel-based Macs. In order to use SPSS, you will need to use a non-Intel Mac. These models include the Dual G5 Power Macs and 17" G5 iMacs. All Intel Macs are currently 17" iMacs with built-in cameras at the top of the display. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Note from vendor: "SPSS does not support the use of any existing version of SPSS for Mac OS X on the new Intel�-based Mac hardware, including SPSS 11.x or 13.0. The use of the Rosetta emulation software interferes with the numerical calculations in SPSS. We therefore are unable to support any version of SPSS on Intel-based Macintosh machines."

Although building a content knowledge base is certainly an important aspect of acquiring a quality education, building the capacity for developing understanding and generating insight are of equal import. The STELLA software is specifically designed to build students' skills in building understanding--whether of a great piece of literature, Newton's Laws, or the working of an ecosystem. When the STELLA software is used to create curriculum materials, students...

• Engage more deeply with the course material
• Build deeper and richer understanding
• Develop critical thinking skills
• Exercise their collaborative and communication skills

The STELLA software is uniquely suited to deliver on these promises because it combines mechanical ease-of-use with a very powerful general framework for thinking (Systems Thinking). Together these form an approach that utilizes:  

• Simulation to engage students through discovery-oriented experimentation
• An icon-based language that captures how things really work
• A communication toolset designed to facilitate managing diverse viewpoints.

The STELLA software and associated framework (Systems Thinking) enable professionals in science and research to:

• Represent key physical, biological and social processes operationally.
• Sanity-check those representations through simulation.
• Share insights and results with colleagues in an experiential manner.
