Flex - Life Cycle Phases
Life Cycle of flex application:
Although you can build Flex applications without understanding life cycle phases of an application life cycle, but it is good to know the basic mechanism: the order in which things occur.It will help you configure features such as load other Flex applications at runtime, and manage the process of loading and unloading class libraries and assets at runtime.
A good understanding of the Flex application life cycle will enable you to build better applications and optimize them because you will know where to optimally run code. For example, if you need to ensure that some code runs during a preloader, you need to know where to place the code for that event.
When we loads flex application in browser the following events occurs during the lifeCycle of flex application.
Following is the brief detail about different Flex Life Cycle Events.
|Event & Description
preInitialize: mx.core.UIComponent.preinitialize
Event Type: mx.events.FlexEvent.PREINITIALIZE
This event is dispatched at the beginning of the component initialization sequence. The component is in a very raw state when this event is dispatched. Many components, such as Button control, creates internal child components to implement functionality. For example, the Button control creates an internal UITextField component to represent its label text.
When Flex dispatches the preinitialize event, the children, including all the internal children, of a component have not yet been created.
initialize: mx.core.UIComponent.initialize
Event Type: mx.events.FlexEvent.INITIALIZE
This event is dispatched after preinitialize phase. Flex framework initializes the internal structure of this component during this phase. This event automatically fires when the component is added to a parent.
you do not need to call initialize() generally.
creationComplete: mx.core.UIComponent.creationComplete
Event Type: mx.events.FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE
This event is dispatched when the component has finished its construction, property processing, measuring, layout, and drawing.
At this point, depending on its visible property, the component is not visible even though it has been drawn.
applicationComplete: spark.components.Application.applicationComplete
Event Type:mx.events.FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE
Dispatched after the Application has been initialized, processed by the LayoutManager, and attached to the display list.
This is the last event of the application creation life cycle and signifies that application has been loaded completely.
Flex Life Cycle Example
Let us follow the following steps to test life cycle of a Flex application by creating a test application:
|Create a project with a name HelloWorld under a package com.tutorialspoint.client as explained in the Flex - Create Application chapter.
|Modify HelloWorld.mxml as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged.
|Compile and run the application to make sure business logic is working as per the requirements.
Following is the content of the modified mxml file src/com.tutorialspoint/HelloWorld.mxml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="100%" height="100%" minWidth="500" minHeight="500" initialize="reportEvent(event)" preinitialize="reportEvent(event)" creationComplete="reportEvent(event)" applicationComplete="reportEvent(event)"> <fx:Style source="/com/tutorialspoint/client/Style.css"/> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; import mx.events.FlexEvent; [Bindable] private var report:String = ""; private function reportEvent(event:FlexEvent):void{ report += "\n" + (event.type + " event occured at: " + getTimer() + " ms" + "\n"); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:BorderContainer width="500" height="500" id="mainContainer" styleName="container"> <s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" gap="50" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"> <s:Label textAlign="center" width="100%" id="lblHeader" fontSize="40" color="0x777777" styleName="heading" text="Life Cycle Events Demonstration"/> <s:TextArea id="reportText" text="{report}" editable="false" width="300" height="200"> </s:TextArea> </s:VGroup> </s:BorderContainer> </s:Application>
Once you are ready with all the changes done, let us compile and run the application in normal mode as we did in Flex - Create Application chapter. If everything is fine with your application, this will produce following result: [ Try it online ]

Pain is the best teacher,but nobody wants to go to his class.
When the past smothers the present, there is only desperation. When the future absorbs the present, life stands still. In either case a decision must be made because you only live now and you are only what you are now.
Dripster's cartoon, unfortunately, sums up my opinion of a few of the forum members who populate this forum and others. I am convinced they are in the ultimate minority and even then some just like to talk a lot while sitting at their computers but have no intention of walking that same walk.
I also have difficulty understanding where many of you live where your Walmarts seem to be the hotbeds of everything wrong in this country and the preferred location for every felon and misfit in this country. Methinks a "piling on" mentality takes place as one after another tends to reaffirm half truths. Yes, Walmart is not Beverly Hills or Rodeo Drive shopping and, as in any busy reasonably priced market, attracts many different people, but I have never come close to witnessing or being part of anything relating to the real or fantasy Walmart stories on this forum.
I agree wholeheartedly. The fact that some people in here come up with scenario after scenario is intriguing. It is like they are waiting for something to pop off so they can clear leather. I for one do not have that much time on my hands where I can think of each and every scenario and post it on an online forum.
One more step and it's on!
[QUOTE=kelcarry;1892856]Dripster's cartoon, unfortunately, sums up my opinion of a few of the forum members who populate this forum and others.
Funny thing is they can run scenario after scenario on paper or in their minds, but should the situation ever occur, one cannot ever predict your reaction. You can just hope you do right.
I personally conceal carry. My weapon does not peek out, or accidentally show. Hell my wife asks me sometimes if I am carrying. To me, and to a lot of members, it's a tool, like a pen.
You should be carrying to protect you & yours when all else fails. Remember, we live in a world where a burglar who falls down the steps of your home while robbing you will sue you...& win!
Several things come to mind.
Vicarious experience can be beneficial, if kept in perspective.
There are no absolutes, but generally speaking, past performance equals future performance.
Flexibility is an attribute not often mentioned.
Reality often exposes unpleasant truths.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
Scenarios give us an opportunity to think about what we might do in a similar situation. Thinking now beats having to come up with a plan of action off the cuff in a bad situation. There is enough variety in the imaginations of some posters to think about the nuances of each situation.
Feedback from other forum members may, by example, tone down the real life responses of some of those who think they should brandish their CCW badge, sash, or lapel pin while trying to "fight for truth, justice, and the American way."
It could be worse!

The Ticket Price Difference For The Palace And Joe Louis Arena Send Off Is Amazing
Saying goodbye to the Wings at Joe Louis Arena will set you back quite a bit more than sending the Pistons off at The Palace.
Saying goodbye to the Wings at Joe Louis Arena will set you back quite a bit more than sending the Pistons off at The Palace.
The Detroit Redwings have played at The Joe Louis Arena for more than 30 years, and they mashed many of those great memories into one farewell video.
Detroit Red Wings hockey legend Gordie Howe has passed away at the age of 88.
They said Michigan's hockey team couldn't hold a flame against Florida's. Well, they were sadly mistaken.
Flint has a rich history in hockey and tonight's game will have several notable names from the Detroit Red Wings and Flint Generals on the ice. If you can't make it to the game, there will be a live webcast.
A very excited Red wings fan slips and embarrasses himself live on T.V while trying to photobomb the camera.
Yesterday evening, we drew our grand prize winner for 'Live Detroit' with Eminem at Patsy Lou Building 4 Connection Center. After hundreds of people registered on air and online, one person walked away with tickets to see the Detroit Lions, Detroit Red Wings, and the Detroit Pistons all on one weekend.
We're giving away an incredible Detroit weekend getaway that includes home game tickets for the Lions, Red Wings and Pistons, plus hotel accommodations. Club Insiders get to enter before anyone else, so you may want to ask yourself why you haven't already signed up.
The Detroit Red Wings lost the first game of their opening round playoff series against Nashville, but Wings fans have plenty of motivation going into game two.
In the final seconds of the first game Shea Weber shoved Henrik Zetterberg's face into the glass, which even in hockey, is illegal. Everyone expected a suspension, but that's not the way things ended up.
Yesterday I attended my first hockey game ever! The closest I have ever got to a hockey game was floor hockey in elementary school or maybe playing the EA Sports NHL Hockey game back in the day. Not sure which one of those count. All I know is that I enjoyed the Detroit Red Wings game.
The Detroit Red Wings are only in their pre-season matches, but that didn't stop Todd Bertuzzi from showing some "fancy sauce" against Chicago.
I admit that I am not a hockey fan at all, and probably won't do another Red Wings story unless they win the Stanly Cup. I am a sports fan though, and I have to give props where they are due.
Hockey fan or not, you have to admit that this is dope. Especially if you are anything like me, and still cant skate backwards.

Italy anti-mafia film sparks anger with relatives
By Eliza Apperly
ROME (Reuters) - An Italian film inspired by the tragic death of a celebrated anti-mafia informer has sparked controversy with her relatives and an association named in her memory.
La Siciliana Ribelle ("The Rebellious Sicilian") tells the story of Rita Atria, a 17-year-old girl from a mafia family who braved the fury of the organization in 1991 by collaborating with authorities after the mafia killed her father and brother.
A year later, Atria was dead: throwing herself from the seventh storey of her Roman safe house in despair just a week after the mafia killed her protector, anti-mafia attorney Paolo Borsellino, with a car bomb in Sicily.
In her diary she wrote: "You have died for what you believed in, but without you, I too am dead."
For its director Marco Amenta, who also made a documentary about Atria, the film is an "important and symbolic story." Although the central character of the film is called Rita Mancuso, she clearly represents the tormented Atria.
"It is an homage to Rita Atria, but it is also a universal story, a human story, the story of a little girl who fights against a big power," he told Reuters.
For him, Rita's significance lies partly in that she was the first young woman from a mafia family to revolt openly against such a resolutely masculine organization.
But Rita's family have condemned the film. Her niece, Vita Maria Atria, who has been in hiding since 1992, said she was tired of "seeing speculation about her aunt's memory." Continued...

Game 44 Recap: Karstens, Walker Lead Pirates to Win
5 RBI from Walker put the Pirates on top.
Nice outing from Jeff Karstens. Nice offensive display from the Pirates. And a big crowd too. Make it three straight wins for the Pirates.
Karstens limited the Tigers to three hits and no walks over six innings. He was perfect through four innings. He gave up a lead off homer to Ramon Santiago in the sixth that knotted the score at one. One out later Austin Jackson doubled. What looked like it might be the end worked out fine as Karstens retired Scott Sizemore and Brennan Boesch. Daniel McCutchen, Chris Resop, and Jose Ascanio finished with an inning of scoreless relief each.
The Pirates took the lead off Brad Penny in the fourth. Ryan Doumit singled in Jose Tabata with the first run of the game. After Santiago's dinger tied it in the sixt...

The datasheet for this product says:

"The microUSB makes an easy USB-Serial interface, so you can easily create USB to RS-232 converters, USB to RS-422/RS-485 converters, upgrade legacy RS232 devices, make PDA and cellphone USB interface cables, barcode readers, POS terminals, etc."

… so from that I infer "yes".

Thank you Toni. I did find the page on 4D just now, along with the related datasheet. Apparently this is the preferred method to use now, except with two specific LCD screens that it mechanically won't fit on. The uLCD-28PT and the uLCD-32PT.

Information is currently at http://www.4dsystems.com.au/product/17/115/Accessories/uUSB_PA5/.

Yup! You should be good to go using this with your 4D screens.

To the point, is this a safe way to program the 4D display modules? I know the modules indicate they should NOT be programmed with an FTDI Breakout, and to use the special cable from 4D, but I don't see that as being available on here, so I purchased one of these instead. I don't want to let the magic smoke out of the display unit or brick it, so I'm hoping someone can clear that up unequivocally?
 Customer #233078 on DEV-11814 - USB-to-Serial Bridge - µUSB-PA5 Customer #233078 urn:uuid:6551d05e-7542-066b-d154-0df5b54a884a 2013-07-02T21:11:35-06:00
I bought this to program some 4D Systems displays but I found that it is immensely useful as a general FTDI adapter. I use it more often for programming Arduino variants such as the 7-segment LED displays from Sparkfun. Just grab a 6-way header out of one of your Arduino kits https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9280 and glue it onto the back of this board. Wire it up: Black/Ground, CTS, +5V, TX, RX, Green/RTS and you are good to go FTDI! Little bits of Black+Green heatshrink are useful for some devices that label the FTDI connector with the colours instead of the names. Makes a great substitute for https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716 (but no 3v regulator, so it can't program 3.3v devices.)

Where the other FTDIs will not work for 4D, will the 4D work for our other FTDI needs?

This is specifically designed by 4D Systems to mate with many of their displays for programming. It has a 5 pin header, while our FTDI pins have a 6 pin header. This one also allows you to solder directly to some of the pins for breadboarding if needed. So it's kind of a cross between our FTDI Basic and our FT232 Breakout.

How does this differ from the FTDI boards?

So what is realy the difference between the old one (BOB-08551) and this new one(DEV-11814)? besides the breakout.

If you look at the data sheet it shows what under the sticker- So I am too lost as to why they were trying to hide what's under there.

i like how the sticker covers half the silk screen labels, so you need to constantly reference the datasheet for the correct pins instead of just referring to the silk screen labels…

Ha! It must be a special high thermal dissipation sticker, as the only stuff under that is 5 thermal vias and the revision code.

Checking the other 4D Systems products (I have one of their OLED displays, it doesn't have such a sticker - looks like it's a new thing), there's even stranger places they put them. I can only imagine the date code on it is what's important.. but doesn't seem very robust as a 'warranty void' type mechanism.

May we introduce you to Bernd Frank, from Mainz, Germany – one of our biggest Fans in the Jägermeister universe. He is the owner of the greatest Jägermeister collection we have come across in recent years.
There is hardly anything you cannot find at Bernd´s place: His living room has become a contemporary Jägermeister museum in the past 15 years. From "A" like in Ad (campaigns) to "Z" like in Zippo lighter – check out the videos and find some of the most bizarre Jägermeister items you have never seen before!
Bernd not only enjoys Jägermeister as a drink but has been known in his hometown for his continuous passion for the Jägermeister brand itself. Following the brand´s every move since the late 90´s, he developed a profound knowledge of its history, the company and the production when he came to visit us in Wolfenbüttel to see how Jägermeister is made and meet some of the people behind the brand. His collection also contains a lot of self-made Jägermeister objects he created himself or collected from other fans.
If you like what you see, or are looking for a specific Jägermeister object, make sure to stop by Bernd`s Blog www.hochsitz-cola.de to find more objects and tales about Bernd´s passion for Jägermeister.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Portland's mayor and lawmakers are applauding the approval of a $100 million transportation bond that will improve the city's waterfront.
Mayor Michael Brennan will be joined by Democratic Senate President Justin Alfond and Democratic Rep. Richard Farnsworth of Portland on Monday at Portland's Ocean Gateway Terminal.
The city says the bond will contribute to critical investments that will impact Portland's waterfront, including up to $2 million for upgrades to the Ocean Gateway facility to allow for the operation of the Nova Scotia ferry service that could begin as early as May. It says about $3 million will go toward dredging the city's waterfront which will boost commerce.
Voters approved the bond earlier this month in addition to bonds that will fund infrastructure improvements at Maine's schools and armories.

SEE RELATED STORY: Gem hunters' giant amethyst spotlighted at S.C. museum
Jim Knight, the natural-history curator for the South Carolina State Museum, is grateful the museum owns the largest amethyst cluster ever found in the state, but he's as impressed with its natural beauty as its size.
"It's the most beautiful amethyst cluster I have ever looked at," he said in a telephone interview from the museum in Columbia, S.C. "It's the biggest amethyst cluster and the deepest purple of any that I have ever seen from South Carolina."
The stone was discovered last year in a private Antreville, S.C., mine owned by retired University of Georgia psychology professor Chester Karwoski of Watkinsville. The amethyst is now on public display in the State Museum and will be "as long as I'm curator," Knight said.
Knight worked with Karwoski to acquire the cluster of crystals.
"I was surprised to find out that it existed," Knight said. "It was up for sale, and they were asking like more than $14,000 for it, and given our state budget and the hard times we're experiencing right now, I said, 'It won't happen.' I said, 'I'd love to display it here at the State Museum, because it's the South Carolina state gem stone.'
"The instant I said 'display at the State Museum,' Chet said, 'Really?' And the price started coming down, and that's how we purchased it."
The stone, which weighs 118 pounds, eventually may become the centerpiece of a display of gem stones found in the Palmetto State.
"I've always wanted to have one of those killer collections of museum-quality crystals and minerals and another section with the kinds of rocks and stones found in the state," said Knight, who grew up in Salina, Kan., and is completing his doctorate degree at the University of South Carolina.
When the stone was first put on public display, Knight said he would stand to the side as any other observer and listen to comments and watch the reaction of those visiting the museum. Children would make surprised comments similar to the wonder of seeing a fireworks display, while adults would spend long moments staring at the remarkable crystals.
Knight feels grateful to have acquired the piece because natural-history objects do carry value among collectors.
"The commercialization of natural-history objects has become so profound," he said. "I'm a paleontologist, and we have a situation on the coastal plains of South Carolina where there are lots of fossils picked up by divers, and the really valuable stuff - even though it's supposed to be held for an X amount of time and reported to the State Museum - a lot of the good stuff gets sold out-of-state the first night it's found because people have talked about prices."
In regard to this crystal cluster, Knight said "if it hadn't been for Chet's generosity, we wouldn't have it. He was extremely generous."
So instead of sitting in a cabinet in someone's home, this glittering purple treasure can be seen by the thousands who visit the museum.

Jesus and the Future
Full Product Description
Jesus' statements about the future provoked conflict among his own people and reprisal from the Romans; they remain controversial even today. Some readers of the New Testament study Jesus' words for specific predictions, searching for a road map to the future. Others transform Jesus' words into spiritual truths with little current relevance. This 1991 book challenges the reader to understand the historical realities that Jesus addressed. How did his message interpret Israel's hope in the midst of the ominous events of his time? How did his declaration of God's reign redefine the meaning of the present and the future of humanity and the world? Important passages concerning the future are examined in close connection to their real life contexts. Special attention is given to the book of Revelation.
Jesus and the Future by David L. Tiede was published by Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing) in November 2010. The ISBN for Jesus and the Future is 9780511621444.

How to evaluate a retaining wall project
So, I am building a large number of retaining walls this Summer and thought I would start a thread on How To. I'm no Pro, just some house building experience, so this is very much a learn as you go project for me.
If you are considering anything bigger than a flower bed (2' high or so) I would recommend the following:
1. Mock-up a concept of your wall on paper or in Sketch-Up. Draw Plan and Section Views showing approximate grades into and away from the wall.
2. Take your Concept Drawing to your Building Code Enforcement Office: Many won't approve or permit a wall that big without Engineering, lest it fall on someone. Ask if he knows an Engineer that works with Homeowners (many will not).
3. Consult an Engineer: Even if your Building Code Office allows a big wall with no Engineering, you should bring one on for peace of mind. That is a lot of work if it falls over next year (on someone :eek:). Your Engineer may want to see Topographical Surveys of the area.
4. At the very minimum read "The Homeowner's Guide To Drainage Control & Retaining Walls" by Erickson
5. Produce solid Working Drawings. If your Engineer hasn't already provided Drawings, take yours to an Engineer and have him 'run the numbers' to see if your wall is safe.
6. Knock yourself out (figuratively speaking)
I'll add to this Thread as I learn more and my mistakes become apparent. For a less formal version, check out my Thread "Talk me off this ledge..." in the Landscape and Garden Section.
The most common type of retaining walls are segmental interlocking walls (SRWS) because of the cost, ability for a DIYer and flexibility of layout (straight, inside or outside curves) and variable heights. I assume this is what you are referring to.
The most common height for engineering to be required in the U.S. is either 4' or 5', since it is just a gravity wall if less than that. Here, the municipalities even provide "generic" drawings for the construction of the major brands of walls. - It is a "no-brainer". If the block is a local "knock-off" or a copy, it may not work for the details. These drawing are also routinely used by the municalities for local crews to build walls up to the 4' oor 5' height without any engineering on municipal projects.
Drawing are always good for getting a permit (if required legally or for your protection) are very helpful. If you try to avoid building several lower walls set back, make sure you show those to cover yourself. If you have a "generic" design sheet, attach it to any application to eliminate questions.
All of the major brands (Allan, Anchor, Keystone and Versalok) have outstanding sights for construction tips that work for all similar walls. These units are made by local manufacturers in most areas and countries. They also have engineering guides for engineers and an engineer on staff for professional assistance to other engineers.
It sure is a good, dursablr method for landscape of just for straight walls compared with the cost and problems associated with poured walls and footings since a SRW cannot use a concrete footing, steel reinforcement or mortar. If you have a large wall, they can be engineered up to 40' high last I observed.
In addition to SRW, options such as Timbers, Natural Stone, H-pile, Vegetated Walls, Cellular Containment Systems, Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) and Poured Concrete can be considered.
Factors to evaluate include cost, longevity, aesthetics, site access, machine access, complexity of construction and the ability to be engineered.
Cost can be evaluated by estimating the materials and labor required to install a hypothetical wall of x Height, y Width, and z Depth. Remember that some types of walls benefit more from Economies Of Scale than others.
Longevity can vary greatly based on factors including site conditions, manufacturing processes/quality control and installation details. A properly installed timber retaining wall may well outlast a poorly designed and installed poured concrete wall.
Aesthetics is a matter of personal opinion combined with site characteristics. A SRW may blend as poorly in a traditional Zen garden as a timber wall in a formal garden.
Site and Machine access are more important for some walls than others. Depth of excavation both vertical and horizontally into the bank need to be considered. Some larger SRW systems weigh upwards of 200 lbs apiece and require machines to move and set, while smaller SRW units can be light enough to be hand carried by one person and poured concrete has to be moved into place with chutes, pumps or buggies.
Due to the sheer volume of literature available from manufacturers, SRWs rate very well on complexity of construction and the ability to be engineered, . In addition, their lack of traditional footing and "Level-and-Go" style of construction make them very accessible to DIY projects. Natural stone is easy to install but hard to install well. The artistic aspect of beautiful dry-stack work often takes years to master and the variable nature of the material makes for difficult engineering.
Two options not mentioned before are Structural Shotcrete (or Gunite) and Gabion Walls.
Shotcrete and Gunite are non-traditional methods of placing traditional concrete. Both use pumping equipment to blow the concrete at high velocity onto the work surface. Traditional formwork is replaced with one-sided forms with the operator's side being open.
Shotcrete is mixed with water prior to being put into the pump and pressurized. Gunite is pumped as a dry powder through the hose to the nozzle and then is mixed with water at the nozzle or within a few feet of the hose end.
Premixing Shotcrete at the pump produces a more consistent product at the nozzle than Gunite, since Gunite is mixed with water at the nozzle and the amount of water can be adjusted by the nozzleman, proper mix is more difficult to control. The primary benefit of Gunite is the ability to start and stop the operation without worrying about the mix drying in the supply line.
With proper Engineering and installation, Shotcrete and Gunite can obtain the same structural integrity as traditional formed systems.
Gabion Basket Walls are large wire mesh cages filled with stone or rubble.
If you're looking for an engineer, ask if they have retaining wall software. I do retaining wall design, and the right software makes extremely quick work of designing retaining walls and producing full sets of plans, details, etc. Very, very quick.

"Republicans are so screwed"
posted at 11:52 am on November 30, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
It's difficult to argue with Matt Lewis on this point:
Democrats control the presidency, the senate, and the mainstream media. Elections have consequences; they hold the cards. Republicans control the House — just enough levers of power to allow them to be blamed for obstruction.
Republicans are so screwed.
The best way out of the trap is to hold out for a deal which delivers on real entitlement and tax reform, but that depends on getting concessions from Barack Obama. His opening bid was so laughable that it might be the GOP's only hope; even some in the media scolded Obama for it.
Unfortunately, even a deal won't help Republicans in the short term, in part because the base seems to think that Republicans still have trump cards to play in this game:
This hasn't stopped some conservative pundits from acting as if Republicans hold all the cards. But the notion that Republicans have leverage is silly. It's the same kind of happy thinking that led some to boldly predict a Romney victory.
Look at it from Obama's perspective. Would allowing the sequestration cuts to kick in be that bad? It would allow him to cut the U.S. military (and blame Republicans), make some much-needed spending cuts (without taking heat from his base), and — as a bonus – raise taxes!
You can understand why some people think the best way out is to vote "present" and let Obama get everything he wants — and then own the consequences. And it may still come down to that.

US STOCKS-China relief fuels Wall St gains; Apple drops
* Chinese regulator restricts sale of shares
* Cautious optimism on Greece

* Indexes close higher: Dow 0.19 pct, S&P 0.23 pct, Nasdaq 0.26 pct (Updates to afternoon trade, adds comment, detail on Apple)
By Noel Randewich
July 9 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed higher on Thursday after Wall Street found relief in Beijing's efforts to halt a rout in Chinese stocks, which lifted markets around the world.
Shares of Apple bucked the market and logged their first five-day losing streak since January as investors worried that consumers in China might have less money to spend on iPhones.
Wall Street had fallen sharply in the previous session as market turmoil in China, a rout in commodity prices, the Greek debt crisis and a major outage on the New York Stock Exchange spooked investors. Continuación...

A Cure for the Common Cold
Last Updated on Wednesday, 5 February 2014 11:46
Written by theglasshousetx
Wednesday, 5 February 2014 11:46
'Tis the season for sickness, am I right? When the weather forecast is 60 degrees one day and 35 the next, your poor little immune system just doesn't know what to do. So it wreaks havoc on your body in the form of the flu, the common cold, bronchitis, and other icky ish. In fact, right now there are probably more than a handful of people reading the Yahoo answers to questions like "will smoking make my cold worse" and "can marijuana ease my flu symptoms." Well, you can stop asking Yahoo. We're here to help. Those people are freaky anyway.
Here's the deal: don't smoke when you have a cold. Or the flu. Or especially bronchitis. You were really on Yahoo! answers because you wanted someone to convince you that what you already know is mistaken, and smoking is no big deal when you're sick. But you know it and we know it. Smoke will irritate your already irritated respiratory system. It will take you longer to get better, which means it will take you longer to really enjoy the taste again. Plain and simple – don't do it.
That's the bad news. Now for the good news!
If you have a vaporizer, you're pretty much in the clear. It's still a good idea to be careful, of course, and maybe partake a little less, but the vape will be much gentler on your lungs and will give your body the opportunity to recover. Better yet, mix eucalyptus oil, peppermint, or lavender with your stash to help you on your way to recovery.
Edibles are another good option, but you can take it one step further! Hot tea is a given when you're fighting the winter woes. Why not spike it with a little MJ? Here's the quick and dirty recipe, thanks to 420 Times:
- Milk (To taste – but the more, the better)
- Water (To taste)
- 1 gram of the good stuff, ground. Or more. Your call.
- Strainer
- Bag of your favorite tea (We suggest the Traditional Medicinal seasonal teas, like Gypsy Cold Care)
- 2 saucepans
- Pour water and milk into saucepan and heat until simmering
- Put your plant into the saucepan, let sit for 15 minutes
- Strain contents of saucepan into second saucepan
- Pour the milk/water mixture into your cup with the teabag.
- Cheers!
What's your magic cure for the common cold?

After open Septorhinoplasty with NAO I developed a large knot, how soon can I treat this? (photo)
I had an open septorhinoplasty due to cartilage collapse NAO. After the splint was removed, in the area they built up the cartilage there is a huge knot where it used to be collapsed that is visible and palpable. I can breath better but there is pain and pressure to that area. They are saying they possibly over corrected but need to wait 3-4 months. This seems a long time. I did also develop a staph infection requiring 5 days in the hospital, that swelling/redness is gone but the "marble" is not.

Strictly Come Dancing star fractures ankle in rehearsals
Strictly Come Dancing
With Strictly Come Dancing set to return in a week, the celebrities and professional dancers are frantically stepping up their rehearsals.
As they prepare to debut their dance moves, some celebrities are clearly finding it easier than others to get to grips with the complicated steps - and one dancer has suffered a devastating injury following a mis-step by her celebrity partner.
Strictly favourite Alioni Vilani has fractured her ankle after 74-year-old Johnny Ball made a wrong turn during their routine.
Last night a friend of Miss Vilani told the MailOnline: "Aliona and Johnny were rehearsing today when Johnny pulled Aliona in the wrong direction and twisted her knee and right ankle - she immediately felt a pop in her leg.
"She was in terrible pain and couldn't walk on the leg.
"She was rushed to the local hospital where she underwent an X-ray and has been banned from dancing until she can see a top consultant next week.
"She has been given a boot and a stick and told that she must rest up.'
The 28-year-old professional ballroom dancer reportedly has a hairline fracture to her ankle, which means she most certainly won't perform in Strictly's first competitive show of 2012.
Although there is the possibility she could return in several weeks, Alioni may potentially have to sit out the entire competition.
Producers of the BBC show are reportedly now hastily looking to find a substitute dance partner for Mr Ball.
While children's TV presenter Johnny is feeling incredibly guilty about the accident, Alioni - who won the series with Harry Judd last year - is said to be devastated and in tears.
At 74, Johnny is the oldest contestant Strictly has ever enlisted, with the previous title holder being 2010 competitor magician Paul Daniels, who was 72 when he joined the show.
Johnny follows in the ballroom dancing footsteps of daughter Zoe Ball, who finished third place on the show in 2005 and went on to host Strictly spin-off It Takes Two.
Even if they do manage to find a partner in time for Johnny, he faces tough competition from the younger contestants competing in 2012's series of Strictly.
Olympians Victoria Pendleton and Louis Smith appear to be the early favourites, with Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh and West End performer Denise Van Outen expected to do very well in the ballroom battle.

A student in your school has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called celiac disease (CD). While this will affect some aspects of classroom and school management, patience and understanding can bring about the necessary changes that will quickly become a natural part of the school experience for all involved.
Also known as celiac sprue or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, CD is a genetic disorder that can affect both children and adults. Once considered extremely rare, an epidemiological study has now shown that in otherwise healthy people, CD occurs in about 1 in 133 people. (See footnote 1 below.) This study was replicated in 2004 by a Casper, Wyoming gastroenterologist, in conjunction with Mayo Clinic. (See footnote 2 below.)
In people with CD, eating certain types of grain-based proteins sets off an autoimmune response which causes damage to the tiny fingerlike protrusions, called villi, on the lining of the small intestine. Because nutrition is absorbed into the bloodstream through these villi, a person with CD can become malnourished--regardless of the quantity or quality of the food eaten. The proteins that cause these difficulties are collectively called gluten and are found in wheat, barley, rye and, common oats (WBRO), as well as all of their derivatives.
Exposure to WBRO results in a variety of symptoms which may include diarrhea, abdominal distention, anemia, fatigue and inability to concentrate. For a small number of people with CD, the disease manifests itself in small itchy blisters on the skin called dermatitis herpetiformis (DH). It is interesting to note that in the United States , non-classical symptoms tend to be more prevalent.
Symptoms may or may not occur in the digestive system. For example, one person might have diarrhea and abdominal pain, while another person has irritability or depression. In fact, irritability is one of the most common symptoms in children. Symptoms of celiac disease may include (but are not limited to) one or more of the following:
Symptoms can present themselves almost immediately or up to as many as 24 hours after exposure to the offending grains. In some cases the patient may not exhibit any visible symptoms. Because no two celiacs exhibit exactly the same symptoms, please refer to the back cover of this booklet to see a list of those particular to this student. Contact the parent/guardian or CSA for a more extensive list of possible symptoms.
This is a lifelong disease and the only known treatment at this time is the total elimination of WBRO from the diet. This might sound like an easy solution at first. WBRO may be hidden, however, in things like food additives, flavorings, personal care products, school supplies and more. Therefore, some adjustments may need to be made in the classroom and other areas of the school to reduce the risk of inadvertent contact.
Because this is a health-related issue, faculty, staff and parents may seek your guidance as they learn to make the necessary adjustments. You may be called upon to:
Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the student to decide what he or she will eat and touch while at school, knowing the consequences of those decisions. However, a newly-diagnosed celiac may need help to enforce the prescribed lifestyle change. The goal is to help provide the child with adequate information in order to increase confidence in living a lifestyle that is free of WBRO.
The information contained in this material is not intended to be all-inclusive. It is provided to help you understand the importance of caution and preparation when working with a person with CD. More details on the disease and its management are available from the Celiac Support Association.
The goal is to provide an environment where the child with CD can learn self-management skills without being consumed by the illness. An atmosphere designed to foster responsible decision making will ultimately help the child perform well both in and out of the classroom.
Thank you for your help and support.

Karis is a 16-year-old living in Middle Earth most of the time. She wishes that she were born 10000 years in the future (or however long it takes to reach the pinnacle of human civilization). She can normally be found between the pages of a book or in the kitchen.
Parents, let's face it. Your children aren't the angelic naïve geniuses that you think they are. Your child probably cheats in school. But don't be afraid. Most likely they aren't part of the underground school cheating rings that proliferate. But they do probably practice some of the techniques below:
1. Writing Information down Somewhere Hidden: There are a lot of unnoticeable creative places to write things down, on the bottoms of shoes, on erasers, on one's arm when one is wearing a long sleeve shirt. Each one has something going for it. Information on the bottoms of shoes is unobtrusive and it will rub off. Same with erasers and covered arms.
2. Asking What an Answer is During a Test/Quiz: There's the simple 'push, wink, nudge' "Hey, what's the answer to this?". But there's also a complicated system of asking for the correct answer even across the room. It involves an elaborate system which transforms numbers and letters into taps and knocks on a desk. (I know I was surprised when I was asked to participate.)
3. Asking What was on the Test/Quiz BEFORE the Test/Quiz: Everyone does this. "Hey, was this on test?" "Hey, what was on the test?" "What do I need to study for?" Friends usually answer the question honestly and promptly.
4. Taking Tests Later: Students often skip a class because it has a test or quiz that day. Then they have more time to study and ask what was on the test. Some don't consider this cheating, but students who have an unfair advantage in extra study-time even though they are not sick or ill? If that's not cheating, what is?
5. Copying Homework: This is by far, the most common technique. But, there is a fine line between outright blatantly copying homework and asking for help on a difficult problem. The former involves cheating, as they do no work but get credit for another's.
6. Cheating Rings: Cheating rings are pretty common. It's when a group of students get together and partition work between them and then get together to share what they have done. It's the more organized version of technique 6.
7. Using Notes/Textbook During a Test/Quiz: This technique is most often used during a test or quiz that a substitute presides over. It's most effective if the student is in the back of the room. There are many variations to this technique. My favorite is bookmarking the needed page with one's foot and when the teacher turn around open it to that page, look down, copy info and close when the teacher turns back around.
8. Texting/IMing: There is a little device called the cell phone. The cell phone enables teens to text and IM answers during a test. They may not be allowed during a test, but who's to stop them? It's the modern day upgrade of techniques 2 and 3.
9. The Internet: Cell phones and other devices, such as the iTouch, also come equipped with wi-fi access to the internet. Students can just google the answer courtesy of their school's free wi-fi. It's the modern day upgrade of technique 7.
10. Using a Mechanical Pencil: What does a mechanical pencil have to do with cheating? Why does it get its own blurb? Well to the latter question, I think it's cool. To the former, most teachers tell students to clear their desk before taking a test of quiz so that people don't have hidden information anywhere. But mechanical pencils are hollow inside. Students write down information on a slip of paper and slide it into their pencils to peruse later during the test.
Why do teens cheat? There are many factors that lead to cheating. It may be a teen's own personal pressure to succeed that drives them to cheat, or mere peer pressure. But personally, I think that the most presiding factor is the parents who are pushing their kids to succeed. Of course, kids want their parents, who are their role models and judges, to look upon them favorably. They want their parents to not be disappointed in them. So, they cheat. I know. I'm one of them.

First Class Most people know that an MBA gives people from a variety of backgrounds a chance to become better versed in managerial and business operations. But USF's dual-degree MS/MBA in Sport & Entertainment Management gives students much more than a broad-brush overview. And students from its inaugural cohort, who graduated in May, say that the program's residencies, faculty mentors and industry partners are the reasons why. Launched in 2012 and made possible by a partnership with the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Lightning Foundation, the program requires students
to firmly grasp important business concepts as well as industry-specific issues such as contract negotiation, conflict resolution and sports communication. But it isn't all books, all the time. USF places students in "residencies" that provide on-the-job training and opportunities to see how classroom lessons play out in the industry.
sport media. And, according to program director Bill Sutton, the remaining students will likely be fully employed in the industry within weeks. Those with early offers have accepted positions at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Tampa Bay Rays and North American Sports Group.
Katie Hatch spent three seasons with the New York and St. Lucie Mets and a season with the Tampa Bay Rays before enrolling in the program. She says that the residencies and industry partners are as important as the program's internationally respected faculty.
Before heading to New York to work as the director of marketing for the New York Knick's new D-League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, Hatch completed residencies at the Tampa Bay Championship (now the Valspar Championship) and FOX Sports Florida. "Even though I had experience working in the sport industry before starting this program, I was able to fill several 'gaps' in my background because of it," she says. "In baseball, I had my hands in a lot of areas—event management, sales, community relations." But two pieces were missing, she says, namely merchandising and media.

"I knew of the faculty's reputation and I knew that earning an MBA would set me apart as my career progressed. I also knew that I would grow tremendously," says Hatch. "And I have." More than half of those in the inaugural cohort had full-time job offers before graduation; just weeks later, nearly 75 percent had full-time, professional jobs in sports, entertainment or
"The variety of tasks that I was able to take ownership of really strengthened my resume," Hatch says. "It made me a more competitive candidate for jobs like the one with the expansion team in New York, one directly owned by Madison Square Garden."

"At FOX Sports Florida, I was part of the team that handled marketing, production, public relations and social media," she says, pointing out that the graduate students are given specific responsibilities and purposeful tasks during the residencies.

Klitschko-Arreola Presser
By Francisco Salazar
Dr. Ironfist versus the Nightmare. The title would be a great way to sell a clash between two titans. But to millions of boxing fans worldwide, Vitali Klitschko versus Chris Arreola will do just fine. In a bout that has been begged for for the last couple of months, two of the big giants in the Heavyweight division will get it on Saturday, September 26th at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, CA. HBO will televise a bout that boxing pundits and even both fighters predict will not go the 12 scheduled rounds.

Originally, Klitschko was scheduled to face David Haye on September 12th for the world title that Klitschko is defending against Arreola. However, Haye backed out of the fight and instead is fighting for the world title held by Nicolai Valuev.
Enter Arreola, who is coming off a fourth round knockout over Jameel McCline back in April. Arreola and his promoter, Dan Goossen, have clamored for sometime about wanting to face Vitali or his brother Wladimir.
Arreola's wish came true as K2 Promotions, Klitschko's promoter, and Goossen Tutor Promotions worked out an agreement. The date was moved to September 26th to give Arreola more time to train.
Both fighters met the press on Thursday afternoon with Arreola walking out first, followed by Klitschko, who walked up behind a seated Arreola and briefly massaged his shoulders.
Never at a loss for words, Arreola beamed with confidence about getting an opportunity to fight for a world title.
"I want to rip his head off," said Arreola, who made his professional debut three months after the Lewis-Klitschko fight in 2003. "I respect him a lot and I feel that he thinks that I will be a stat for him. But, I'm here to win. It's going to be a great fight on September 26th."
"There's no trash talk. He will be a pop culture question. 'Who did Chris Arreola beat to become the first Mexican Heavyweight champion of the world?'"
"This fight will not go 12 rounds," concluded Arreola.
Klitschko agreed.
"This fight will not go 12 rounds, but I'm prepared if it does," said Klitschko, who now resides in Los Angeles after living for many years in the Ukraine and Germany.
"Arreola is a tough fighter with a big heart and a big punch. There's talk about me and Arreola and people giving their own predictions. Honestly, I don't know what will happen. I trust myself and I trust my abilities. I think about how I can fight him. It's interesting for the fans and for me. This fight will be a real battle."
For fight fans, it means they will see two of the heaviest hitting Heavyweights today. Klitschko has 36 knockouts in his 37 victories, which Loeffler, Klitschko's promoter, pointed out is the highest knockout percentage of any Heavyweight champion ever.
Arreola (27-0, 24 KO's) began his professional career with eight knockouts and has stopped 14 out of his last opponents.
It will be the third time that Klitschko will fight at STAPLES Center, the most among all boxing champions. Klitschko fought Lennox Lewis for the world title in 2003. After six spirited rounds, the fight was stopped because of a nasty cut above Klitschko's eye, giving Lewis the victory even though Klitschko was ahead on the scorecards.
"I was winning that fight. I know that I would have won."
The following year, Klitschko defeated South Africa's Corrie Sanders to win the title.
Arreola, who resides in Riverside, grew up in East Los Angeles, not far from STAPLES Center. It was in the East L.A. area where he would go to nearby gyms to see his idol, Julio Cesar Chavez, spar and train at these facilities.
"Chavez was an inspiration because he was different outside of the ring. He was calm and mellow, like I am when I'm not in the ring. "To me, being the first Heavyweight champion of Mexican descent is something that is big and what I strive for."
Because of his increasing popularity, Arreola will have the crowd support for this fight. Something Klitschko joked about.
"I have Mexican fans who have cheered for me. But when this fight was made, they came up to me and told me 'Sorry, but we are going for Arreola.' That's fine. That's just the way it is."
The way it is or it should be for fight fans is for more crowd-pleasing fights like Klitschko versus Arreola to take place. At a time when boxing is at times losing its appeal, fights like this could put a shot in the arm in the sport.
No matter who wins this intriguing bout, the winners will also be the fight fans, who show their loyalty with their knowledge of the sport or attending fight cards, big and small.
Yes, Dr. Ironfist versus the Nightmare could be catchy. But, Klitschko versus Arreola is all that needs to be said to fight fans.
Notes from the press conference:
– Ring announcer Michael Buffer served as MC of the press conference.
– HBO analyst and Los Angeles resident Larry Merchant took in the action at the press conference. He shook Arreola's hand, wishing him the best.
– Unbeaten John Molina (17-0, 13 KO's), who was also present at the press conference, will fight on the undercard. His opponent is still to be determined. Molina resides in Covina.
– Aside from both agreeing that the fight will not go 12 rounds, both fighters agreed with their dislike of David Haye. Arreola bluntly referred to Haye with a female part of the anatomy that starts with the letter "v."
– K2 Promotions in association with Goossen Tutor Promotions will promote the card.

Imagine how I feel. If you have a problem with a race being considered a "driver's race" then you're going to be angry a whole lot. We use "driver's race" in the context that 2 cars are almost equal in speed and it will ultimatly come down to who's the best driver. A WRX vs. a RSX-S from a roll is CERTAINLY a driver's race. Trap speeds indicate this time and time again. I don't know how much more proof you'd like.Originally posted by 2004SilverWRX
My point exactly. Front wheel drive is also a handicap like AWD drive is. I am getting sick of this "driver's race" thing. All races are up to the driver. I could race an idiotic Viper R/T driver who cannot drive a stick, and win. Did I beat the Viper? NO Racing from a roll doesn't recquire much skill.......mash the gas and don't miss a shift. Pretty simple. I also find the lack of top end arguement perplexing. The WRX has descent top end and pulls nicely to at least 100mph. Most races are long over before that anyway. The Celica board claims of (GT-S I am guessing) beating an Evo from a roll is ridiculous. I know if I beat an Evo from any speed the driver of the Evo was not racing or couldn't drive. Here we go again......a driver's race. It's not though, the Evo is quicker and faster AND I CAN ADMIT THIS FACT. [/B]
From a dig, it is NOT a driver's race. If a stock WRX loses to a stock RSX-S then its out of sheer stupidity on the WRX's part. He didn't want to launch hard woudl be my guess.
I'm not going to admit something that's false, i.e. that a RSX-S can't beat a WRX from a roll. That's completely false. If I were stock, I'd say "get a stock WRX to race me from a roll and we'll get back to you guys" but unfortunately I'm not stock so it wouldn't be fair.
And we can't find a similarly modded WRX because there is no such thing I've gotta be honest with you, I think some of the WRX guys are having more trouble seeing the truth to this matter than anyone else. And if you don't like racing from a roll, don't do it. But please don't say it takes no skill - if you select the wrong gear or can't rev match for ****, you're going to lose badly and that's skill my friend.

Nutrition Support Blog: One Weird Trick to Help Nourish Your Patients
I am amused by the little advertisements that show up on the sides of many web sites that offer "a simple technique to lose weight" or "one weird trick to help you stay asleep all night." No doubt they appeal to that part of human nature that relishes the idea of a quick fix. However, our better sense realizes that there are generally no magic solutions and anything that sounds too good to be true generally is. Likewise, there are generally no magic formulas or secret tricks for improving the nutrition status of your patient. Just like the "secret" to weight loss is to eat less than you burn, the weird trick for improving the nutrition status of hospitalized patients is to provide nutrition before they become severely malnourished. (Amazing, isn't it?)
Of course, in critically ill patients we have learned that it is a bit more complicated than just providing plenty of calories and protein. The realization that excessive calories and protein do not have the power to reverse the catabolism of critical illness, and can actually create negative consequences, was an epiphany for the world of nutrition support. Subsequent to learning that overfeeding was undesirable there has been a host of studies measuring the calorie expenditure of critically ill patients. However, compared to the number of studies of calorie expenditure there is limited data about the protein needs of critically ill patients. Anyone that has searched for data to support protein guidelines in adult critically ill patients quickly has their own epiphany over the dearth of good research. It is absolutely amazing that after 40 years of specialized nutrition support there are still no randomized studies of adult critically ill patients that allocate participants to different protein intakes. One of the few references that you will find is an observational study with inherent weaknesses that seriously limit the strength of the published conclusions.1
There is a new study (below) in Critical Care Medicine on protein needs in adolescents that adds to our knowledge of protein requirements in critical illness. The conclusions of the new study suggest that previous protein recommendations may have been inadequate to fully support protein synthesis.
Verbruggen SC, Coss-Bu J, Wu M, et al. Current recommended parenteral protein intakes do not support protein synthesis in critically ill septic, insulin-resistant adolescents with tight glucose control. Crit Care Med. 2011 Jul 14. [Epub ahead of print] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21765361
The results investigated in this study are primarily protein synthesis, catabolism and nitrogen balance, rather than patient outcome. Nevertheless, with such limited data available it is encouraging to see some interest in determining optimum protein intake in the critically ill population. There is a real need for additional research in both the pediatric and adult populations to investigate ideal protein intake for both the early acute and later rehabilitation phase of critical illness.

"A habit of basing convictions upon evidence, and of giving to them only that degree or certainty which the evidence warrants, would, if it became general, cure most of the ills from which the world suffers."
