I am a 48 year old cancer survivor who was initially misdiagnosed andtold I had 5 months to live. That was in May of 1997. As far as I cantell, it all started with a tooth ache.--Go figure!
In June 1996, I saw my dentist for mild pain in one of the lower molarson the right side of my jaw. My thought was that I may have lost partof a filling or some such thing. The tooth had split into quadrants butmy dentist felt it was salvageable. The sequence of events whichfollowed was the worst possible, a scenario of failure after failure, butto make a long story short, the tooth became massively infected.
A large lymphadenopathy developed under my right jaw and the resulting fluids filled the right side of my neck until I watched them drain down and disappear below my collar bone.Unfortunately, this happened over a weekend and the pain wasexcruciating. The pain, coupled with my aversion to doctors, resultedin my first mistake. Rather than go to an emergency room, I triedto "tough it out' over the weekend. I ended up taking 6 to 8over-the-counter ibuprofen tablets every hour and a half until I couldno longer stand the pain and went into the hospital late Sunday night.While waiting to be seen, the pressure of the infection finally burstthrough somewhere around the base of my tongue. The ensuing gush ofblood and other fluids tasted horribly but within minutes I noted aprofound release from pain. When I was seen by the doctor, I was givena shot for pain and prescribed a broad spectrum antibiotic. About twoweeks later the infection was gone and the tooth was crowned. --Savedthat blasted tooth anyway!
In July 1996, I was in serious pain again. This time, in the upperabdomen and back. I was initially diagnosed with constipation but aftercloser scrutiny of my x-rays I was found to have kidney stones. Thelast of these stones passed in February 1997. Throughout this time Icontinued to have pain in the back and abdomen while a new symptomdeveloped, pain in the chest... like having a horse step on the middle ofyour chest. These episodes would last to around 45 minutes and requiredthat I cease movement and get as close to prone as possible. Quiteoften there was what I referred to as an "aftershock" within a few hoursand the same thing would happen. The doctors said my "ticker" was fine.
The cause of stones? Probably infection. The symptoms? Diminished but bynow nothing felt good in my stomach, I was losing weight, the horse wasstill standing on my chest, the abdominal pain was constant and now Ideveloped sharp pain just under my ribs about three inches below and tothe right of my sternum. Back to the doctor with my "personal diagnosis"of gall stones. The upper GI showed reflux and slight enlargement ofthe duodenum. Thank God for sonogram technicians. While looking forgall stones, she found enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes behind mystomach. One endoscopy and CT scan later, I was told I had a malignantulcer and lymphadenopathy in the retroperitoneal, mediastinal, hilar,carinal, and subcarinal lymph nodes. Also noted was pancreaticdisplacement and my liver tests were abnormal. Initial pathology oftissue from my stomach was a split decision between gastric cancer andgastric lymphoma. Closer scrutiny by a third pathologist ruled outlymphoma.
On May 8, 1997 my oncologist advised that I had metastaticgastric cancer and depending on current liver involvement, I could expect no more than 2 years survival. My options included gastricresection, extensive chemotherapy and I would never work again. Thegeneral flow of the conversation was not about cure but quality of lifevs. how long I had to live. I was referred to a surgeon for tworeasons. The first was to discuss the pros and cons of gastricresection and the second was to discuss the need for additional tissuesamples as the pathologists wanted a clearer picture of my cancer.
After determining that I would not survive gastric cancer, my focus wason quality of life for my remaining time. In speaking with the surgeon,we agreed that gastric resection was not an option if I was in theadvanced stages of gastric cancer. Therefore, the only other task hehad to perform was a laparoscopy to obtain tissue from the largest of mylymph masses which was a 9x5 cm retroperitoneal mass. I wish I couldhave been there (conscious) to hear the "oops" when the surgeon slicedan artery and had to do a laparotomy to stop the bleeding. AlthoughI didn't appreciate the 6 inch incision, I still try to visualize thehumor involved when something like that happens.
Opening me up did afford the surgeon the opportunity to explore andvisualize the metastases. I remember, as in a dream, his discussionwith my wife after I was brought out of recovery. I thought I heard"Stage IV" and "5 months". Upon recovering sufficiently to carry on abrief conversation, I asked my wife if what I had thought I heard wastrue. She confirmed that the surgeon had told her I was in Stage IVgastric cancer and had 5 months to live. After my initial diagnosis,losing over a liter of blood and having a six inch incision instead afew small punctures and now being told I had 5 months to live, I wasbeginning to wonder, "OK, what's the good news?"
Five days after surgery I was released from the hospital. With a wifeand three children, the oldest was 12, I soon realized I had a purposefor my last 5 months, there was much to do to prepare my family fortheir loss. Insurance, powers of attorney, medical retirement,plans to pay down the mortgage on our house so my family would not haveto lose their home, finding just the right person to help my wife withher future and trying to insure that they would be all right after I wasgone. Worst of all was telling my 3 sons that I was very sick and Imight not be there for them in the near future. The list seemedendless. It wasn't.
About a month later, I remember standing alone in my living room,looking around and realizing that I had done everything I could think ofto prepare my family for my death. I looked up and said, aloud, "OKGod, I'm ready." The feeling of nothingness was so strong I couldn'thelp but drop to the floor and fight the tears no more. I had 4 monthsto live. I shall never forget one conversation I had with God aboutthis time. I was sitting on our back patio trying to rationalize whyGod would do this to my family. Was I a bad person? Clearly, a mootpoint. Were there other forces at work and was this really God's will?I asked Him. I also asked that if this was not His will, that He changemy diagnosis.
God bless my wonderful wife. She denied completely that there was nohope and forced me into a strict vegetarian diet after purging me withseveral weeks of fresh fruit and vegetable juices. She was going tomake me healthy even if it killed me. By this time I had dropped from155 pounds to 115 pounds and my oncologist was concerned that the weightloss was not good. So, as my stomach would allow, my diet expanded toinclude more rice and potatoes. Did I mention I was taking vitamins upthe kazoo? I should have because I took so many it made my throatsore. She even had me taking, what I lovingly referred to as "witchesbrew", a concoction of roots and herbs.
All of this was going on during that first month after surgery. Theupside was that I had little time for a strong inclination towarddepression. After all, I was dying. However, my next appointment withmy oncologist was, in fact, the good news I had asked about earlier.The pathologist's report from the retroperitoneal tissue sample wasfinally received. You could have knocked my doctor over with a featheras he explained I had Stage III extragonadal seminoma with an extremely rare metastasis to the stomach. I should add that during my diagnosis,my oncologist advised I had normal tumor markers for AFP and hCG.(Common tumor markers for germ cell cancers.) Now I had a 50/50 chanceof being cured. If the thought of divine intervention hadn't crossedyour mind by now, please, let me plant the seed. I didn't ask God thatI not have cancer, just that He change my diagnosis. Be careful whatyou ask for when speaking to the Almighty!
My treatment plan included 6 courses of carboplatin (750 mg/m2) every 21to 28 days. After researching germ cell cancers, I discovered some veryunsettling facts. After conferring with an expert in the field atIndiana University, I learned that lymphoma and seminoma look verysimilar pathologically and the doctor had only heard of one othercase where seminoma had metastasized to the stomach. Therefore, withoutseeing the pathology report, he favored a diagnosis of lymphoma.Particularly unsettling to me since my mother had died of lymphoma. Tomake things worse, the use of carboplatin as a single agent was not thestandard of treatment in this country even if I did have seminoma. Thedoctor felt so strongly about this, he attempted several times toconfer with my oncologist but I found out later my doctor never returnedhis calls. I too pressed for some answers to these concerns but mydoctor only responded that if I wanted to be treated in Indiana, hewould look into transferring my case. A rather long commute since I livein California.
A test of faith? Perhaps, but I could hardly afford to be treated inIndiana, so the decision was based upon economics more than anything.
Six weeks after my initial dose of carboplatin my white cell count stillhadn't recovered and my white cell count was <2. I had togo onantibiotics and give myself 4 injections of neupogen (1 daily) to kickmy bones into high gear. Kick is the operative word because that'sexactly what my bones felt like had happened. My white count shot up to36 and I was given my second dose of carboplatin. This time at 700mg/m2. Even at this lowered dose, my white count rarely recoveredbefore 28 days but I never had to take neupogen again. After the 4thdose of carboplatin My CT scans revealed no mass >1 cm. I wasexperiencing something I hadn't felt in a long time, the absence of painand no more horses standing on my chest. After my 5th dose ofcarboplatin, an endoscopy revealed a completely healed ulcer and nocancer from tissue samples taken from the site. My oncologist feels Iam cured and I didn't have my 6th course of carboplatin.
I feel it is important to note that I did have tumor markers but myoncologist failed to see them. After reviewing the pathology reportsfrom my personal copy of my medical records, I read that one of thetests conducted revealed an elevated PLAP. Not knowing what that was, Ilooked it up using resources available on the Internet. PLAP stands forplacental alkaline phosphatase and is the most reliable tumor marker inthe diagnosis of metastatic seminoma. I advised my doctor of this andafter verifying the facts, the PLAP is one of the tests run on my bloodas part of my surveillance routine. Guess I did have a tumor marker.
The point is, cancer is the personal property of the person afflicted.No one cared more about my cancer more than I did. I spent hundreds ofhours reading everything I could find on the subject and quite frankly,I was a constant annoyance during my oncology appointments. I hadquestions which were largely ignored by my doctor or I was given aperfunctory response. After this, I can't stress how important it isfor patients to be aware of their disease and to be actively involved intreatment decisions and options. Whether or not your doctor agrees. Ijust wish there were more doctors who felt the same way.
I've noticed that there are a number of other therapeutic activitiescommon among many cancer patients. Painting and writing seem to be themost common. I am no different. I found writing poems to be what camenaturally. I am neither a poet nor an artist but I found comfort inbeing able to express myself and what I was feeling through writingabout it. My last poem, oddly enough, I entitled "The Diagnosis".

Dispatches from the (Electoral) Front
A question for all you fellow political junkies out there: what races did you find interesting in your neck of the woods, and why?Here in CA, I was intrigued by the trajectory of the Prop. 19 race. Had the measure passed, possession of an ounce of marijuana or growing a 5x5' plot for personal use would have been legal in the state. Some context: marijuana is so easily available here and its use so widely accepted, that smoking it isn't even particularly transgressive in most circles. Medical marijuana is available on the flimsiest of medical pretexts, sometimes prescribed by doctors who'd rather see their patients smoke legally than illegally, since they smoke anyway. Being busted for possession of small amounts of pot now amounts to a mere infraction, like a parking ticket. Marijuana is the state's largest cash crop. Early in the race, the measure had a strong lead. Then opponents started looking at the text of the law: yes, it would be legal, but there would be no statewide agency to regulate (and tax!) the stuff. Regulation would be a patchwork of local policies. Oakland voters, e.g., were presented with a now-moot tax proposal that would have imposed a stiff tax on recreational pot. Similarly, the measure failed to address questions of impairment adequately. Employers would have to demonstrate not just that their employees were high, but that their work was adversely affected. Mothers Against Drunk Driving opposed the initiative because while impaired driving would still be illegal, passengers would be allowed to smoke--a really dumb oversight. Plus, the feds said they'd still enforce the anti-pot rules, (e.g. requiring clean drug tests for train, truck and bus drivers and airline pilots) even if CA didn't--another legal mess. As the case against the measure on legal grounds heated up, public opinion shifted. The San Francisco Chronicle opposed it as bad law. And the measure went down 54-46%, not because Californians don't smoke, and not because they don't favor legalization, but because THIS legalization measure was badly written. Go California!

Lisa, re: the flaws in the proposition: if only I weren't what is, no doubt, the ten thousandth person to wonder aloud if, in writing the bill, the authors' judgement wasn't impaired in some way :-)
I suspect that the big pot money in CA (I live there, too and there is a LOT of big money being made, particularly in the sparsely-populated north coast) doesn't want to see legalization. Control, regulation and taxation that would inevitably follow would cramp their styles and lifestyles.
But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Luke 11:42
Indeed! Among the problems with the status quo is unequal enforcement of current laws. African Americans are prosecuted for marijuana-related "crimes" at a rate many times their proportion in the population. So yes, we could have taken a step toward something more like justice AND tithed "every herb." (Does the rosemary on my deck come under this injunction, too?)
Dan Benishek, pro-life, fiscally conservative Republican, won Bart Stupak's seat in Michigan's U.P. by a decisive margin.Interestingly, both he and his opponent, Democrat Gary McDowell, were endorsed by Michigan Right to Life, the state's premiere anti-abortion PAC. That's the same organization that reversed its longtime support from Stupak after he persuaded President Obama to sign the executive order confirming that federal money would not be used to pay for abortions.McDowell was the only Democrat endorsed by Michigan Right to Life in any federal race. https://secure.rtl.org/apps/elections/listingMcDowell's loss suggests that something more than the issue of abortion is at work, even though it was Stupak's vote that inspired Benishek to get into the race.The U.P. is generally fiscally conservative, and Benishek has vowed to reject all earmarks--even those that would bring money to his own district. However, it will be interesting to see how well that plays over the long haul in an area where residents experience chronic underemployment and where the good jobs are often in state and federal government.
Jean you have found the blessing in the Tea Party ramblings. The Republican Party now has an abundance of incompatible philosophies that can finally build a "big tent" to hold warring constituencies. How else can you explain an election that demands that the government do something about unemployment, and that government not do anything?Of course, there were precursors to this, like appointing non-activist judges to actively rewrite the law on abortion, but the contradictions now are so strong that the party will have to learn how to deal with diversity.
Jim, that's an interesting observation about diversity, but I know a lot of Republicans who looked askance at the Christian political right wing when Pat Robertson et al were flying high. The GOP, howevever, has always been much better than the Democrats at showing a united front even when there was fighting in the back room. I don't think it's fair to say that the Republicans want government to do something about unemployment and not do anything. Michigan's Governor-Elect Rick Snyder plans to unfetter regulations on business (which is usually code for lowering environmental standards and cutting business taxes). I also think it's clear from the way John Boehner last night moved himself to tears with his own story about mopping the floor of the family tavern and working nights to put himself through college that anybody who receives public assistance of any sort can consider themselves on notice.
Regarding marijuana in CA, in additional to traditional values folks, there were several forces against prop 19:- Established growers- Police unions- Prison guard union- Social services unionGrowers want the status quo obviouslyPolice and prison guards prefer the status quo because prop 19 might have meant some staff reductions. Of course they couch things in language of public safety, but behind all that is job security and money.Social services gains quite a bit from the status quo in that all the court-ordered rehab brings in a more or less steady stream of revenue, ensuring jobs and salaries.Finally and not unimportantly Many Latino and Black folks who have seen the ravages of hard drug use honestly do not think legalizing it will help much. I happen to think they are mistaken (marijuana is not a hard drug), but I also understand they are sincere.I consider the matter of law and order and of making sure people are taxed properly. As already mentioned, marijuana smoking in CA is common. People either break the law outright or they sometimes weedle around it with lame medical excuse. Either way, this undermines respect for the law and order. If so many Californians want to smoke marijuana, we ought to revise our laws accordingly. Also, cigarette smokers pay tax of each pack they buy; marijuana smokers ought to do likewise.
"A question for all you fellow political junkies out there: what races did you find interesting in your neck of the woods, and why?"------------- I was interested in Prop. B, the puppy mill proposition. One out of three pups sold in pet shops across the country comes from Missouri, and many are raised in horrible conditions. It passed. I voted for it, but I don't see how it can be enforced. I was surprised at the organized opposition to it. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=missouri+prop+b&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=n...
Gerelyn, thanks for that update! One of my students wrote a paper about Prop B. What are the impediments to enforcement? I read the Hannibal paper's story about it, but it didn't give details.
Hi, Jean! No one is going to knock on every trailer door to see if the old man is cooking meth and the old woman is breeding dogs. There's a long tradition of dog breeding in Missouri. (See, e.g., The Voice of Bugle Ann, by MacKinlay Kantor. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028471/combined )And a long tradition of secrecy. E.g., the town bully of Skidmore (who was also a dog breeder) was shot and killed -- executed -- in broad daylight thirty years ago. No one ever told who did it.http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/08/29/99817/3-decades-on-who-killed-skid... rural areas, no one is going to inspect remote farm houses to see what conditions the animals are kept in. Just as farm women used to raise chickens to get a little egg money for themselves, now they breed puppies. Even in the cities, no one is going to investigate anyone's house to see what animals are there. Just a week or so ago in Kansas City, a 300-lb. chimpanzee escaped from its owner's house. Along Highway 44 (old Route 66) the old tradition of reptile farms and private zoos is another disgusting example. In one week in 2008, tigers in two private zoos attacked keepers. Etc. The only way to stop puppy mills is for pet shops to stop buying pups from them, and for prospective pet owners to stop buying pets from pet shops. Not likely.
Interesting on MO Prop. B. As a (former) dog show person and veterinarian, I deplored the puppy mill business on several grounds:1. Horrific conditions under which the dogs are raised2. Playing on people's ignorance of what constitutes a good-quality dog. Heck, you can often get a very well-bred (i.e., someone's paying attention to health, conformation and temperament) puppy for a fraction of what the poor suckers who walked into pet stores were paying. It's a caveat emptor situation and the emptors just weren't doing their homework. (And of course it isn't just the mills that are a problem: I suggest that people buying a purebred dog from a breeder should ask the breeder why they're breeding their dog. Absent a good answer, walk out.)3. Really low quality dogs. My veterinary colleagues and I used to play "find the congenital defect" with pet store puppies--and almost always we'd find something. The puppy mill only has to have the animals be AKC registrable and alive at 8-12 weeks old--after that, they have no interest in the animals' well-being.Reading the Hannibal story, though, I wonder if a person keeping, say, 5 or 6 Rottweilers in outdoor housing (well-insulated runs, etc.,) would also fall afoul of the new law. Some excellent breeders have several dogs, and some large breeds do well housed outdoors...
Yes, there are good breeders. And I hope they will continue to flourish. As to the hoarders and other nut cases, I see no solution. I pity the animal control people who have to go in and rescue the victims.About the Missouri fox hounds, as described so beautifully in The Voice of Bugle Ann: they don't kill foxes, they just chase them while their owners sit around a fire listening to their baying.Here's a perfect description of Missouri dog people at their best:http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/periodicals/ozarkswat...

Is it bad security practice to have a password that will allow you to access any user account on a website for support purposes? The password would be stored in a secure manner and would be super complex. Huge mistake?
This sounds very much like an "Administrator" account, which typically otherwise has unlimited access to the things that it's the administrator of.
The security implications of an admin account are pretty well-understood, as are the best practices. I won't go in to all the details, but your implementation breaks with best-practice on one key feature: traceablity.
You want to be able to tell who did what, especially when it comes to administrators. If an admin can log in to my account using his password, then there's no way for an auditor after-the-fact to determine what was done by me versus what was done by the admin.
But if instead the admin logs in to his OWN account with his super-secure password, then through the access he has through his own account performs some action I could have done as well -- well then now we can have a log telling who did what. This is pretty key when the manure hits the fan. And even more so when one of the admin accounts get compromised (which it will, despite your best efforts).
Also, say the business grows and you need 2 admins. Do they share the superawesome password? NO NO NO. They both get their own admin accounts, with separate tracing and logging and all that. Now you can tell WHICH admin did what. And, most importantly, you can close one of the accounts when you fire one of the admins for stealing the donuts.
There is a lot of great information in the answers given so far that the original poster should read and take to heart. However, I think most of the answers do not capture the spirit of the question as it relates to traversing their company's website "as if they are the user" for support purposes. The heart of the question appears to be that this activity occurs on the front-end of a website rather than the console of a server.
I know of a company that has this same need in it's web application and has already solved it in a way that I believe is the kind of solution the original poster was looking for.
They created a "masquerade" system in their webapp that allows an employee in a special group to enter a set of pages that can look up any user in the system and select that user as the credentials to browse the system with. It tracks the user selected to masquerade as and the actual employee user as two separate and simultaneous entities that are both recorded at all times, and for every action.
From the application's perspective it is a "treat me as this user, but remember that I'm actually this other user." Sort of a webapp version of sudo, but built into the front-end.
This method:
Yes, it is a mistake. What happens if attacker manages to get a hold of this password, no matter how secure you think it is? He will be able to tamper with user account information in a way that is most likely difficult to differentiate from normal activity.
If you control the website, you already have many different methods available to you for support option. Proper administrative tools can be written to read and modify the necessary information. There is not much point in have a "master" password.
This "god" password is the equivalent of root / Administrator access: can do everything. The question is twofold:
Of course the context is everything, and the answers above merely usually apply. Still, be wary of administrative backdoors, in particular backdoors which do not keep a good track record of the origin of administrative requests.
An Administrator can still only act as himself: someone with a god password can impersonate anyone on the system. One could argue that if the Administrator has enough power, this doesn't do much to limit the actual damage an attacker with that account could do. But an attacker with the god password would have a much easier time of covering his tracks.
You never impersonate the user. (For various reasons of trace-ability/accountability as others already mentioned.)
Having a "god" password is a simple solution, but it is merely an "authorization" by way of knowing the master password, and does not lend itself to good access management (i.e. controlling who can do it), nor accountability (who really did what).
Instead, change your credentials data structure to have an effective-user field:
The content of your webpages should be rendered for the
This arrangement permits you to better control who is allowed to become another user, and it also permits you to record/audit who did what on who's behalf. (You can simply log both the user and effective_user on things you care to watch.) Unix does this effective user (and group) sort of thing internally if you look at the sources for what defines a process. Mimicking this on the web is leveraging a known, successful paradigm.
This solution also allows you to choose which pages your staff can "look over the shoulder" of another user. You can choose to write a page that does not render based on the
BTW, I have implemented the effective user concept on the web, and I have also implemented the god-password. The latter is easy to drop-in when all the infrastructure is already in place. But it really is not the best solution in terms of knowing who did what, and managing access. Take a close look at how much refactoring is really involved to add the effective user field -- it may be less than you think.
If only one person has access, then it isn't necessarily a problem, however it can just as easily be done through having a setting for a user account that allows this access.
With any root/superuser/admin kind of functionality, logging and auditing of behavior is critical, and that means you need to know who was doing what. If multiple users need to be able to make changes like this, then it should be a flag on their account to allow for it.
You may still want to have an additional, more complicated password that has to be entered even when they have access, but you should require secure authentication of an individual who is making changes before doing anything of this nature.
You may not have a choice but to have a 'god' password. Regardless of what tylerl said about having two different administrator passwords, how would it even be possible to have a log and tracing unless someone was in charge of that, too? You would literally have to encrypt the log and everything against yourself in such a way that it is read only to the outside world but can still write for itself. How does it determine whether the information it is receiving is legitimate or not then? Obviously if you don't have access, then no one does so that wouldn't work either.
I think you need to have role based security rather than one account with "god" mode abilities. This way you can have multiple people who have the same roles with similar capabilities so that if your god/admin is not available, someone else can go in an make the fix.
I know that this is preferred specially if you are going to be audited.

Unanswered: ST 2.0.0 vs ST 2.0.1 Unique Problem!? W/ Sencha IO
Hey guys, I have run into a bit of a unique problem here. I'm a 14 year old just getting into sencha due to hearing how easy it was to use. This is my first forum post and first app.
So I've been experimenting around with Sencha IO and I first deployed my app in 18.104.22.168 (Didn't read the warning about it only working on 2.0.0). The login view worked as well as the Usergroup (It incremented).
Whilst doing more research, I read about the warning saying that Sencha IO only worked with 2.0.0.
I redownloaded Sencha 18.104.22.168 and generated a skeleton app with sencha generate app. I ran this command from the root of the Sencha 2.0.0 file and made sure to do it in a seperate folder system. I copied and pasted my app.js, app folder, app.json, index.html, packager.json, and io sdk. I fixed all the routes and such. But when I try to compress it and upload it to deploy it, it is too Large for the allowed upload size of 20 MB. I dont know why the SDK of ST18.104.22.168 is 85 MB. Which is 4x the Allowance of file upload for Sencha IO deployment. I checked the size of the SDK folder in the root directory of my 184.108.40.206 generated app, and it was a mere 17 MB uncompressed.
Unfortunately the compressed 2.0.0 file was around 45 MB's, so I couldn't even try to deploy it and see how sencha IO worked with 2.0.0.
I revisited using sencha IO with 18.104.22.168 and voila, the login worked for both my dad and myself, with incrementing users in the user group. So how do I go about this?
Does anyone have any knowledge on how to do a workaround on the file size or if 22.214.171.124 supports IO, which it seems to be doing?
Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Sencha IO. But, I can tell you that using the SDK tools to create a production build will drastically reduce your file size. You simply install the SDK tools, then run the following command from the command prompt in the same directory as your application:
sencha app build production
Be sure to always test the production build, as there can be some errors that weren't in the testing one.
8 Aug 2012 7:25 PM #4
Haha well I forgot to include that in my OP, but I actually tried that exact same command at the root of my project but it gave me an error. I'll post the error when I get home.
Thanks for the reply though.
9 Aug 2012 5:05 AM #5
If it gives you an error that usually means there's either an error in your project somewhere or your project isn't configured properly for the SDK tools. Try looking through Sencha's intro guides to see if they can help you.

The key to a good night's sleep when you have chronic back pain is as simple as choosing a good pillow-top mattress. Choosing the best mattress involves knowledge of your personal needs and preferences. To get a comfortable night's sleep, start by choosing a pillow-top mattress made from the right materials for you. Next, choose your preferred thickness. Finally, have firm sleep support underneath the cushions of the pillow-top. Below, you'll learn the best pillow-top mattresses for back pain.
Choose the materials: Pillow-top mattresses are made from a variety of materials, so choosing the one that is right for you can make all the difference in the world. People with muscle pain should consider down pillow-top mattresses, which provide a cocoon to sleep in. Those with back issues will generally prefer memory foam pillow-top mattresses, which conform to the body and offer consistent support to areas like the lower back. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's information regarding the recommended weight allowances for these types of pillow-tops. Consumers who are heavier than the recommendations may find that the pillow-top cushion compresses in uncomfortable ways, leaving the mattress lumpy.
Determine the thickness: Pillow-top mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, from just 2 inches to 8 or more inches deep. Like choosing the right materials for your pillow-top, choosing the right depth is vital to getting a good night's sleep. Thinner pillow-top mattresses will allow more of the support from the remainder of the mattress to come through and will not develop body indentations as pronounced as those in a deep pillow-top. Pillow-top mattresses that are too soft may fail to provide back support and cause an increase in back pain. However, deep pillow-top mattresses are excellent for customers who suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain.
Check the warranty: Just as you would with any other purchases of its size, check the warranty of your pillow-top mattress. Most manufacturers will provide limited, pro-rated replacement warranties for manufacturer's defects, and some will provide a "comfort guarantee." Others may have specific conditions that must be met in order to maintain the warranty, such as having a boxed spring by the same manufacturer. Take note of any special conditions for the warranty and keep the paperwork.

To the Editor:
SnowBall has come and gone, and the question that everyone seems to be asking is: "Was it worth it?"
I have certainly heard some grumbling about the traffic, parking, litter on the town streets and some general unruliness but all of those things were anticipated and, from what I have heard, our local law enforcement agencies did an outstanding job at maintaining order. When asking the question "Was it worth it?" you have to include the obvious: "Was it good exposure for the valley? How did local businesses fare? How did the valley as a whole fare?"
While the final numbers are not yet in, the overall consensus seems to be that it was a good event overall and maybe it was "worth it."
Then on Friday, March 15, we were given a different view in Dr. Mark Paulsen's guest opinion "Substance abuse, the dark side of SnowBall festival," and that question took on a whole new meaning. There comes a time when exposure and money have to be moved to the bottom of the list of things that are important, and I believe we have reached that time.
Does this make us a desirable location for a "family" vacation? Is this really what we want for our community? Is this really what we want to expose our children and our youth to? I don't know if the promoters of this event will want to come back here next year but, if they do, I implore those of you who will make that decision to consider the "dark side" of this event and then ask yourself that question ... "Was it worth it?

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) --Barry Zhang loves taking the stage and bringing audiences to their feet. He truly loves the art of performing.
"I just like being on stage with a lot of people and then afterwards then all clap and I get up and bow and it's just exciting for me," he told 13 News.
Barry is only 13 years old- a seventh grader at Anthony Middle School in Manhattan- and he's already playing music performed by concert pianists. His skills have left even his teachers stunned and in awe.
"Most piano students I know who are college music majors could pass a college recital with some of the music that he plays and he's only 13. He's in the 7th grade. I've lived in the Manhattan area for 35 years and from the time he was little, I had never seen a student whose talent matched his," said one of the his teachers, Nancy Blockcolsky.
Barry was born in China and his family moved to the United States in 2003. He started playing the piano seven years ago and has exploded onto the scene, wowing in concerts and winning local, state and regional competitions.
Barry's talent is natural and the result of hard work. The middle school student typically practices two hours a day during the week and four hours a day on weekends. His practices run longer when he is preparing for a concert or competition.
"Everything is focused on piano and has to work around that. So I'm usually very busy with homework and school and piano. It's easier for me to play piano than a lot of other things because it just comes to me better than other things like math or language arts or other subjects... There's a big chance I'll be doing this long term because it comes easily to me. I think I could be successful at it," Barry said.
His teachers think Barry will continue to captivate crowds for years to come.
"I think he could definitely make a living playing piano. I look forward to the day that he's a concert pianist someplace and some of the people who get to hear him play in this area will say they remember seeing him perform when he was just a teenager," Blockcolsky.added.
Barry will perform a piano solo on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 7 PM with the Community Chamber Orchestra in Morganville, KS. Tickets are $6 a person or $15 per family. The concert will be held at the Old Morganville School at 307 Main St. More information can be found at www.kansasmusic.net.

Does ramification have anything to do with inseparability? It feels like an extension of Q in which p ramifies should somehow correspond to an extension of F_p(t). Does totally ramified <--> purely inseparable?
In fact, saying an irreducible polynomial f(x) is inseparable is the same as saying that f(x) ramifies when we extend Q[x] to L[x], where L is the splitting field of f(x).
By correspond, I generally mean taking an extension of Q defined by a root of p(x)=r, where r is a rational making the extension nontrivial, and then extending F_p(t) by a root of p(x)=t. It's interesting because then this extension of F_p(t) corresponds to a number of extensions of Q (this is the same thing when you do Galois theory by looking at fundamental groups of branched coverings of C. Then do you look at etale fundamental groups of objects associated to these function fields over finite fields?).

"Pope Francis brings a fresh look at old truths," he says, "Simplicity and poverty and meekness and humility are all ancient truths."
Biblically, Palm Sunday marks Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
The significance of this religious day is particularly important for Catholics with a newly-elected pope.
Christians know this week as Holy Week-- the week the Bible says Jesus was crucified on the cross.
This week will also be the first religious holiday since the newly-elected Pope Francis was chosen.
"It's getting back to what's at the heart of what we believe and at the heart of what we believe is people," says St. Joseph Catholic Church Assc. Pastor, Fr. Josh McCarty.
Fr. McCarty says Catholicism was founded on the basic distinction between people and the decisions they make.
"Pope Francis brings a fresh look at old truths," he says, "Simplicity and poverty and meekness and humility are all ancient truths."
Fr. McCarty says Pope Francis is taking a more radical approach to his new position, and those actions will be shown throughout his first Holy Week as pope.
"On Holy Thursday the pope is planning to celebrate mass not at St. Peter's Basilica, not at St. John's outside the walls, not at any of the major basilicas-- he's going to the juvenile detention center," he says.
The pope will be washing inmates' feet.
"This means an airing out of the church, and we've talked about this before in the history of the church-- this new spring time, this new equalization" Fr. McCarty says, "We're seeing a new phase of rejecting some of those little practices and little decorations."
Pope Francis has been spotted in unmarked vehicles, whereas the popes who served before him were always in armed vehicles.
Fr. McCarty says it's gestures like this that suggest Pope Francis is bringing a more humble practice to the Catholic faith.
He says Pope Francis was named after St. Francis, a 13th century Catholic friar.
Fr. McCarty says St. Francis spent his life working for the poor, making more radical decisions during the time period, similarly to the new pope.

Tuesday's letters: Hurricane Sandy
Published: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 4:30 p.m.
To the editor: Having recently returned home from a disaster relief assignment with the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy, where we were working the night shift in a shelter on Long Island and trying to sleep during the day on cots in a racquetball court at a nearby unaffected small college, I have been touched by the concern, outpouring and continued generosity of our local community, businesses, companies and individuals.
The people at our shelter had lost so much in many cases all that they had that it will be hard to ever return to normal again for them. But with the help, continued donations and, most recently, designated funds from Washington, the beginning will be somewhat easier.
So, many thanks for all the donated dollars and even some being doubled. You have made a difference in others lives, and it has been appreciated.

Second Amendment
To the editor: A recent Second Amendment letter mixed truth with fiction.
The comma controversy (i.e., is the militia phrase or the right to bear arms phrase subordinate?) should never have started. All other amendment references to people rights are interpreted as individual rights, not collective rights. Furthermore, the Bill of Rights purpose was to specify constraints on government power. Specifying how to provision a militia doesnt serve that purpose. Primacy, therefore, is clearly with the individuals right to bear arms.
Consider the historical context. The frontiers equivalent of carjacking and home invasion made the individuals right to bear arms self-evident. The kings army generated strong distrust of government firepower monopolies. The Second Amendment was, therefore, also intended to ensure that ultimate power remained in the hands of the governed.
The desire to arm militias on the cheap for national defense, while ancillary, was real. Unfortunately, militias usually fail when confronting enemy national armies. The evolution of musket technology into armed drones, tanks and rockets became an added complication. The conundrum, therefore, is balancing legal citizen weaponry, public safety and a credible last resort deterrent to totalitarian rule.
Regarding violence, perhaps reintroducing parenting, manners, institutionalized mental care and God would help.
Anthony Jeric
Thomas Jefferson
To the editor: In response to Mr. Boyd Peytons Jan. 8 letter quoting Thomas Jefferson, it would have been wise of you to either request a citation from Mr. Peyton or research it yourself.
Mr. Jefferson published one book in his lifetime called Notes on the State of Virginia, published in 1784. The quote Mr. Peyton used in his letter appears in this book.
However, Mr. Jefferson was speaking of the evils of slavery, not the virtues of religious morality. He was questioning how God could permit one half of our citizens to trample the rights of the other half without eventually suffering the punishment of Gods wrath for our hypocritical injustice. He felt that punishment just may be the loss of our own liberties.
Indeed, the sentence right before the quote laments the horrors of one half of our nation watching the other half labor. None of this has a thing to do with prayer at the University of Tennessee football games.
Do your homework, Mr. Peyton, before you start preaching.

WACO (December 13, 2012)--Two men were sentenced Thursday in federal court after both earlier pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute the drug.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., sentenced Adrian Scott McLendon to serve 6 years in federal prison, to be followed by 3 years supervised release, and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and $100 in special assessment to the court.
Smith sentenced Marcus Rae Stephens to serve 66 months in federal prison, to be followed by 3 years supervised release, and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and $100 in special assessment to the court.
Court documents presented at the plea hearings showed McLendon and Stephens participated with others who federal officers say conspired to buy crack cocaine and bring it to Waco to sell it.
Court documents say McLendon, Stephens and Scotty Eugene Stephens, along with Roxie Stephens, beginning in January 2010 conspired to both possess and distribute significant amounts of crack cocaine in and around Waco.
A Waco police Drug Enforcement Unit officer began investigating the ring in the summer of 2009 using a confidential informant to make controlled buys of the drugs.
Between January 2010 and January 1012, police were able to buy about 129 grams of crack cocaine using the confidential informant.
When police served search warrants at several locations in Waco, they were able to recover several rocks of crack cocaine, scales used to measure the drugs and $3,575 in U.S. Currency believed to be the proceeds of the sale of drugs.

WINTERSVILLE - The Indian Creek Redskins knew going into Saturday's match up with the Edison Wildcats in the 20th edition of the Route 43 Bowl that they'd already locked up the seventh spot in Ohio Division III Region 11.
There was no worry of looking ahead to their Week 11 meeting at West Holmes as the Redskins scored 34 second-quarter points to break open a 7-0 game, and then cruised to a 53-18 win over the Wildcats at Kettlewell Memorial Stadium.
"I think it's very important when you become a family that the last time you play in what became their second home inside that stadium they want to end on a positive note," said Indian Creek head coach Andrew Connor. "I think they were focused all week. I don't think anything changed because they found out they had probably clinched the playoffs.

READY FOR PLAYOFFS — Indian?Creek quarterback Alex Young delivers a pass against Edison's Trevor Murray during Saturday's 53-18 win by the Redskins at Kettlewell Stadium. The Redskins finished 9-1 and will visit West Holmes next week in the Ohio Division III, Region 11 playoffs.
"They had a lot of other goals. They wanted to win nine games, they wanted to win the OVAC championship, and our rivalry with Edison means the world to us.
"There were a lot of motivating factors and we stayed motivated, which is an important part of being a good football team."
Holding the 7-0 lead thanks to a seven-yard scoring pass from Alex Young to Alex LaRue, the Redskins put the game to rest in the game's second stanza.

After Monty Young hit Chris Graziani for a loss of seven on an Edison fake punt attempt, Indian Creek found itself set up at the Wildcats' 35-yard line. Seven plays later, on second-and-18, Young hit Frankie Kamarec for a 19-yard touchdown strike. Young, who wore No. 12 in honor of teammate Justin Cummings, put home the extra point for the 14-0 lead.
"It was 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, but then the second quarter really got snowballed on us," said Edison head coach Mike McKenzie. "We had a few turnovers.
"They were making the plays, and we were just missing plays. Their speed got to us a little bit there. They're a good team. There's a reason they're 9-1."
After an Edison three-and-out, the Redskins pushed the lead to 21-0 on the strength of a Logan Woods seven-yard run and Young kick.
On the drive Young broke free for 22 yards and hit Woods for a 16-yard completion.
Edison made it 21-6 with a Trevor Murray two-yard scoring grab from Nolan Marcus, but the Wildcats cheers were short-lived.
On the first play of the ensuing drive Blake Roar went up the middle for a 64-yard touchdown and Young's fourth PAT made the score 28-6 Redskins.
With 1:38 left in the first half Kamarec and Young connected for a second score, this one from 20 yards out to make the score 34-6.
McClelland stripped an Edison receiver on the first play of the ensuing possession to set up a Young to Drew Sullivan 12-yard scoring toss. Fernando Prestes' point after closed the half's scoring at 41-6 in favor of the Redskins.
McClelland picked off a screen pass earlier in the half adding to his outstanding performance, and the Redskins defense held Edison to just 78 yards offense in the first half.
"It's the way it's been defensively for us all year," said Connor. "The one thing we do is get to the ball and make sure we have two, three, four helmets there. I think that's what happened tonight. Lots of kids to the ball, and we played very well when it came to assignment football.
"It's important because if you're going to be a good defense everyone has to do job, and it just comes naturally. You can't try to make a big play, big plays come to you. I think they've gotten better at that."
Indian Creek sat their starters to begin the third quarter, and both teams put up 12 points in the second half.
The Wildcats points came on a 15-yard pass from Marcus to Devan Tennant and on a Marcus 11-yard run.
The Redskins received scoring runs of 58 and 21 yards from Tran Huynh and Jonathan Dailey respectively.
"I'm so proud of these guys," said McKenzie of his team. "With the adversity we faced throughout the year it would have been real easy to not have done what they did. They fought, and came to practice everyday. They made it enjoyable coming to practice. Sometimes when those things happen kids don't some to practice, they don't work hard, there's a negative attitude, and it wasn't like that at all.
"I love them to death."
Offensively Indian Creek accumulated 400 total yards. The Redskins ran the ball 43 times for 284 yards. Roar led the way with 84 and a touchdown on eight carries and Huynh had 64 and a score on five touches.
Young completed eight of 12 attempts for 116 yards. He had four touchdowns and no interceptions. Kamarec's five grabs for 81 yards and two scores led the Redskins.
"I think the most important thing is Alex has a tremendous field vision right now," said Connor. "He's throwing the ball to a lot of different kids so they know if they get open he'll throw it to them. That's important to the wide outs because they know as long as they're running the pattern the quarterback will get them the ball."
Nolan Marcus led the Wildcats with 90 passing yards with two scores and one pick on five of 17 attempts. He also led the team with 73 yards and a score on 14 rushes.
Edison's season ends at 2-8 and McKenzie says farewell to a senior class that showed a lot of heart throughout the season.
"We're going to miss them," he said. "It's always hard with your seniors because you've been with them that long. It's a bittersweet thing to see them move on, but those guys showed tremendous leadership.
"I think they showed their character by the way they fought these last four weeks. They kept fighting and kept working. Obviously the Martins Ferry win is one they'll remember forever. I'm just going to miss them tremendously."
Indian Creek (9-1) begins preparation for its first round playoff game Saturday at West Holmes.
"We sent guys to scout there yesterday," said Connor. "They're a good coached football team. They did very well in their conference this year. One big thing is they like to run the football. They like to run the Wing-T. They have some big kids.
"They have a really big linebacker that sits in the middle of their defense for them. We have our work cut out for us, but we think the Buckeye 8 has prepared us.
"We've gone against some really good football programs in the Buckeye 8, and we think that's going to help prepare us for Saturday's game."

Israel Indicates It Struck Syria Last Week
Suggestion that Attack Aimed to Halt Advanced Weapons Draws Assad Rebuke
TEL AVIV—Israel's defense minister indicated that his country was responsible for an airstrike in Syria last week, while Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused the Jewish state of aiding the rebellion in the country's civil war.
The top leadership of both sides were breaking days of silence after reports surfaced that the Israeli air force targeted a transport of antiaircraft missiles en route to Lebanon.
Speaking at a security conference in Germany, Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the Jan. 30 attack is "another proof that when we say something we mean it. We say that we don't think it should be allowable to bring advanced weapons systems into Lebanon to Hezbollah from Syria when Assad falls." Mr. Barak gave no further details about the attack.
Mr. Assad said the attack "exposes the true role that Israel is playing in cooperation with hostile foreign forces and their proxies in Syria."
The attack was Israel's first major foray into the Syrian civil war and raised concerns Israel will take further military action in the country to protect itself from instability stemming from the disintegration of the regime.
It followed repeated warnings by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials of the dangers of Syrian weapons falling into the hands of Hezbollah and other hostile forces in the region.
Mr. Barak's comments, the first of any official Israeli comment on the incident, marked a departure from its frequent policy of not commenting on attacks abroad attributed to Israel. Analysts say that silence allows Israel to maintain a veneer of deniability and eases pressure on enemies to retaliate.
A U.S. official said last week that Israel targeted a weapons convoy transporting antiaircraft missiles destined for the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Syria said the target was a research facility.
In a prerecorded interview to be broadcast Monday on Syrian state TV, Syrian Defense Minister Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij responded to questions on why Syria wasn't retaliating against Israel by saying the strike was itself a retaliation after Israel's rebel proxies in Syria were repulsed by the Syrian army.
On Saturday, Syrian state TV broadcast what it said was footage of the military-research facility in Jamraya on the outskirts of Damascus that it said was hit by the Israeli airstrike.
Contrary to a statement issued by Syria's armed forces Wednesday, which said that the facility's main building was destroyed by the raid, the most extensive damage shown in the footage appeared to be in what the broadcast described as the parking lot.
Several sedans, pickup trucks, two trailer trucks and two passenger buses, which appeared to be in a column formation, suggesting they were part of a convoy, were shown incinerated or severely damaged. The end of the five-minute footage showed what looked like damaged military vehicles and trucks next to a crater in the ground.
A man identified as a worker at the facility and witness to the strike said that the vehicles belonged to staff and that the buses were used to transport workers but made no mention of the military vehicles.
The man said when the strike began he ran for cover in a nearby cypress forest and dislocated his shoulder when he threw himself on the ground. The man, who was shown with an arm sling, said he was hit by shrapnel in his hand and leg. He spoke outdoors next to the damaged vehicles. A patch of trees common in the Damascus countryside appeared in the background.
Echoing the regime's official statement, the man said only two people were killed in the strike.

Jaffee: Kreiger Nation in Derby
Lou DeFilippo would be proud of Derby junior quarterback Michael Kreiger.
DeFilippo, the late legendary figure whose name graces the scoreboard at the Ryan Athletic Complex here, loved passionate football players. The current Red Raiders quarterback certainly has passion, and a bit more.
Big Lou was the most passionate of coaches, a grandfatherly type of man who commanded that his players possess those intangibles that can make a difference in the outcome of a game.
Which brings us to Kreiger, who has led the Red Raiders to two straight dramatic Naugatuck Valley League victories over St. Paul (49-45) and Holy Cross (19-14) at DeFilippo Field.
In both games, Kreiger called the game-clinching touchdowns on quarterback sneaks with his head coach George French's approval.
In both instances, French listened to his on-field leader and told him to get the job done. Kreiger didn't disappoint, so much in fact that when he scored the fourth quarter TD and later intercepted a pass to end a Holy Cross' rally, Derby cheerleader Marla Narowski proclaimed out loud that this is Kreiger Nation.
In this tiny Naugatuck Valley town, everyone knows who Kreiger is, just like they know his older brother, Ray, a four-year starting QB who is now a sophomore at the University of Bridgeport, where he is playing baseball for the Purple Knights.
Michael is following in his brother's footsteps, not just by his sheer talent, but by the way he carries himself. Mature, poised and clutch, and he can seemingly make improbable plays.
Two come to mind in each of the last two games.
Against St. Paul, Kreiger tried to hit an off-tackle hole, slipped, bounced into one of his offensive linemen, and kept his bearings and balance before running for a first down to keep the comeback bid going as the Red Raiders faced an 18-point, fourth-quarter deficit.
Against Holy Cross, the Red Raiders faced a 7-0 deficit in the second quarter. Holy Cross' tenacious linebacker Michael Gugliotti flushed Kreiger out of the pocket. Kreiger narrowly avoided being sack, stepped back and launched a spiral down the middle of the field to Sal Frosceno. Holy Cross' Jordan Perry tipped the ball, but Frosceno grabbed the ball in midair near the Holy Cross 20 and scooted into the end zone for a 46-yard TD.
"Mike Kreiger keeps plays alive and makes things happen," praised Holy Cross coach Mike Giampetruzzi. "He's just a great player."
Giampetruzzi told Kreiger that after the game.
Bounces played a huge role against the Crusaders, as Derby receivers Josh Russell and Tyler Dobek also caught tipped passes to keep drives alive. But they all gave credit to Kreiger for having enough faith in them to potentially make a big play happen.
Back in the spring of 2012, Kreiger played shortstop for the NVL champions and CIAC Class S state runner-up Derby baseball team as a freshman. If he was ever nervous, it never showed.
He's a gamer, and his play has reminded me of a trio of former Cheshire High quarterbacks who have all won state titles: Sean McGowan (1992), Steve Bowman (1993 and 1994) and Phil Bowman (1996 and 1997).
Kreiger has the poise and ball control of McGowan, now a defensive coach at Boston College. Kreiger has the skill-set of Steve Bowman, specifically the precision passing ability, and he holds the moxie and leadership that Phil Bowman featured.
The best thing of all is that Kreiger is only a junior who has already started 12 games at QB and has at least nine regular season games left in 2013.
The chants of Kreiger Nation will likely get louder and louder.

"Escape to Life: German Intellectuals in New York/The Photographs of Fred Stein," a photographic portrait of the many famed artists and intellectuals who escaped Germany for the United States in the 1930s, will be on exhibit at NYU Open House (528 LaGuardia, between Bleecker and W. 3rd Streets) from September 29 through November 30. Subways: A, B, C, D, E, F (West 4th Street).
Taken by the noted photographer Fred Stein—himself a German-Jewish émigré who escaped Nazi oppression for the freedom of New York—the exhibit's 24 images document a stunning migration of talent, one that would change the contours of America's intellectual landscape and help propel New York, in particular, to an unparalleled position of cultural pre-eminence in the middle of the 20th century.
Archivally printed from original black-and white 35mm negatives preserved for more than half a century by Fred Stein's son, Peter Stein—head of production in the graduate film program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts' Kanbar Institute of Film & Television—the photographs offer a broad "cross-section" of the extraordinary firmament of world-changing individuals who came through New York in these years. The exhibition includes such intellectuals, scholars, and scientists as Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, and Martin Buber; the writers Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, and Hermann Hesse; the artists, architects, and composers Max Ernst, Walter Gropius, and Arnold Schoenberg; and the directors and performers Josef von Sternberg, Erwin Piscator and Marlene Dietrich. Each portrait is accompanied by a biographical text panel exploring the significance of the subject's accomplishments and the circumstances of their exile from their native land.
"Escape to Life" is the first rotating exhibit in the newly opened NYU Open House, a civic and cultural commons where the life of the university engages that of the larger city. Running through the end of October 2011 and open to the public six days a week, free of charge, NYU Open House will offer ongoing and rotating exhibits and a wide array of public events, including film screenings, talks, conferences, and panels. NYU Open House was designed and programmed by James Sanders + Associates, a New York-based architecture studio noted for its multidisciplinary projects, mixing urbanism, history, and cultural interpretation.
The exhibit is co-sponsored by Humanities Initiative at NYU, Deutsches Haus at NYU, the NYU German Department, and the Center for Urban Experience.

I've always been curious about the process of simplifying 蘭 to 兰. I'm not really familiar with the simplification process, but this one is shocking to me. From what I've seen (I've studied only simplified characters), it's usually easy for me to recognize the similarities between traditional and simplified characters. But here, there appears to be no common basis at all.
Chinese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Chinese language. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:

Like a few other simplifications, 兰 is derived from the grass script for the traditional form. The first three strokes are derived from the 草字头 (the grass radical).
Various character forms can be seen on this site.
One thing that's frustrating about this particular simplification is that it's not consistent:
What about all the character which have
Others replace the
This doesn't make any sense to me. I think the nicest thing I can say is that there are some ancient character variants (

AG089: A Scare to Remember
this wiki
A Scare to Remember (Japanese: ピカチュウ、ロケット団に入る!? Pikachu, Joining Team Rocket??) is the 49th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
The gang walks down a path, while Pikachu seems exceptionally happy. Suddenly, a tree falls down! As the smoke clears, Team Rocket captures Pikachu using a robot. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but with no effect, as the robot is made of a material that does not conduct electricity. The gang goes to get him, but fall in a hole. Soon, the robot falls as well, due to the material it is made of. The robot explodes and everyone blasts off, splitting Ash and Pikachu. The gang wakes up and Ash goes after Pikachu, but everyone is stuck on the tree. James, Wobbuffet and Jessie are bashed on a tree. They go off from it, so James suggests to search for Meowth, but Jessie thinks they should return to the base. However, they become lost.
Pikachu and Meowth are seen together. Meowth yells for Jessie and James to come to him, but sees nobody is around. Meowth has no choice but to battle him - he goes to scratch him, but Pikachu does nothing. Pikachu tells him that he has no idea where he is or who is his trainer. Meowth realizes that Pikachu lost his memory, so plans to fill his head with new info to banish the old memories. Meowth tells Pikachu that he had been a member of Team Rocket from the day he was born. Ash tells Swellow to search for Pikachu and Brock tells Mudkip the same. Afterwards, Pikachu and Meowth walk down a path. A Zigzagoon appears, hiding behind Pikachu - a Beedrill appears as well, trying to attack. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, making it leave.
Meowth thinks Pikachu is a kind creature, so plans to take advantage of it, so they leave. James and Jessie are seen to search for Meowth and "the home base" (even if James tells her the home base is far from here). Meowth and Pikachu walk through the edge of a mountain. Meowth begins to be bluffing, but shakes it head. He tells him he saved his life once. Suddenly, Meowth almost falls, but Pikachu grabs him on his tail and pulls him back. The gang searches more. Mudkip feels something and they all see footprints of Pikachu, Meowth and Zigzagoon. Meowth begins to feel hungry, so Pikachu gives him an apple. Meowth hears that Pikachu gave him the only apple he saw, so Meowth begins to cry. He splits the apple in half, giving the larger to Pikachu.
The gang sees more footprints of Pikachu and Meowth, though they are concerned that Pikachu did not battle, from the looks of the tracks. Swellow searches the area while Meowth and Pikachu follow a path. Pikachu rolls back, but Meowth stops him, so they continue the path. Team Rocket see a base and go inside to rest. Swellow spots them entering the building and goes back. Meowth and Pikachu arrived to the base as well. James is thrilled to see Meowth back, but he and Jessie see Pikachu wanting to battle them. Meowth says that he is their friend now and whispers what really happened. Mudkip searches and his fin turns to a side. Swellow appears to let Ash know what it found. Jessie and James persuade Pikachu that they are also his friends, succeeding in fooling him.
Pikachu goes on James' shoulder (even if Pikachu is heavy). They play for a while, then the gang appears. Meowth and Ash try to convince Pikachu what they want, but Pikachu is confused. When Meowth says he is a liar, Pikachu goes to Team Rocket. Ash realizes Pikachu does not remember him and tries to convince him that he does not belong to Team Rocket, but with a failure. James orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, attacking Ash. Meowth orders to do so again, attacking Ash once more. Brock realizes Pikachu hit his head and has an amnesia problem. Team Rocket depart in the balloon. Ash goes on the balloon and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but electrocutes everyone. Team Rocket is blasted off while Pikachu and Ash fall down.
Ash catches Pikachu and falls in the river. A flashback of Ash and Pikachu's adventures in Hoenn is shown and they go down the river. Next, Ash is seen on the river shore and Pikachu licks him to wake him up. Pikachu remembers Ash in his memories. Brock, Max and May arrive and see Ash reunited with his best friend. Team Rocket has blasted off near the river and the gang says they should help themselves get out of the river. Team Rocket attempts to convince Pikachu to get back, but soon learn that he got his memory back when Thunderbolt is used on them. At the rest of the day, Ash promises that he will never lose Pikachu again and everyone goes to Lilycove City.
- The dub features a song written especially for this episode, titled "You Can't Remember".
- This marks the first and so far only instance of Team Rocket reciting their motto more than once in an episode without any interruption.
- Meowth returns the favor to Pikachu by splitting the apple between them, as Pikachu did the same to Meowth in an earlier episode.
- The dub title is a reference to the film A Walk to Remember.
Dub differences
In the Japanese version, when Ash and Pikachu are floating through the river, Ash has flashbacks of his Gym battles with Roxanne and Norman. These are both cut in the dub.

When learning MapBasic I found the most useful way to learn how to do certain tasks was to do them using the GUI and then watch the MapBasic window in MapInfo to see how they were achieved in code. It was also very useful for repeating repetitive tasks.
I was wondering if QGIS had something similar for python?

I am pretty sure that you can see this in the OS X Console app located in Utilities. If I'm wrong though, be sure to vote me the heck down so I delete this.
Here's something that worked for me in a special case... My app was crashing with SIGKILL as it terminated. I would see the exception in main.m for a few seconds, and then the app would finish terminating – thus, no chance to get the back trace.
I did a lot of searching on "where does simulator store its crash logs" and never managed to find an answer. However, the following trick came in quite handy and I was able to grab the crash log on the fly:
Basically, open /Applications/Utilities/CrashReporterPrefs.app and change the setting to "Developer". This will cause CrashReporter to display a popup with the crash log after your app crashes.
I found this in the "Viewing iOS Simulator Console and Crash Logs" section in this doc from Apple: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/ios_development_workflow/125-Using_iOS_Simulator/ios_simulator_application.html
This is much more reliable. In only a few steps I was able to find the source line number & method name:
The crash crash logs will appear under ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter.
When Xcode gets crash logs from a connected device, it stores them in sub-folders of ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice
For me, it was an expression that I had added to the debugger watch window. When a breakpoint was getting hit, the bad expression was causing XCode to segfault.
