I faced a similar problem, hope my work around solves your problem as well.
If you are launching your application by calling "Ext.application({});", try changing it to "Ext.create('Ext.app.Application', {})". If that doesn't solve your problem, have explicit Ext.require([]); (pass your application "requires" property value here - add the controllers also) invocation before instantiating the application object.
Hope that helps.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.- The Charlotte cross country team took some time out of its schedule to spend the day with the Mariners on the Move running club, earlier Friday afternoon at the Irwin Belk Track and Field Center.
The Mariners on the Move youth running club includes students from the Mountain Island Day School. The students range between second and seventh graders and meet twice a week to train for their upcoming meet, the Jingle Bell Jog on Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Blakeney Shopping Center.
The 49ers greeted the enthusiastic students and discussed tips on nutrition, exercise, drills, and the mechanics of running. The Niners were paired up with a student and joined together in a friendly competition that really got the kids going.After the race, the students and 49ers stretched together and discussed the importance of pacing yourself during the race.
"The kids absolutely enjoyed themselves today," explained Misty Fraley, a Charlotte alumna and second grade teacher at Mountain Island Day. "They love seeing the college athletes because it reminds them of what they can become. It keeps our runners committed to our goals."
Charlotte returns back to action on Friday, November 9 for the NCAA Southeast Regional at McAlpine Park.

Papal interview: Web reaction roundup
"Unfiltered! Extraordinary!" - The Washington Post
"Blunt!" – The New York Times
"Confessional!" – The Daily Beast
"Explosive!" – Religion News Service
"Cool!" - Gawker.com
Those were some of the insta-responses to the interview of Pope Francis in America, an exchange that just about every media outlet—regardless of slant or the specific blurb-like language deployed—at least could agree was wide-ranging (and at 12,000 words, not counting the internal monologue of the questioner, it should be). Elizabeth Scalia calls it that, too, before noting the trouble with instant responses: "Expect all kinds of fireworks and fallout before people even read through the thing [her boldface and italics]." She also makes a reasonable suggestion: "Read it before allowing anyone else's reactions to influence your own thinking."
But given the effort dedicated to influencing others' thinking, it would be a shame to let it go unnoted. So, here's some roundup.
Kathryn Lopez in the National Review cites the long passage that includes these lines: "The message of the Gospel, therefore, is not to be reduced to some aspects that, although relevant, on their own do not show the heart of the message of Jesus Christ," and writes "That's very much the Evangelical Catholicism George Weigel talks about, using that same Emmaus-road image, by my quick read. It's the call of the Catholic to know Christ and make Him known, to set hearts ablaze."
The Guardian sums up its take with this headline: "Pope Francis sets out vision for more gay people and women in 'new' church."
Andrew Sullivan sees nothing less than "a rebirth of Catholicism":
I can barely believe that these words – so redolent of Jesus' – are coming from the new Bishop of Rome, after so long an absence. Although the Pope is unfailingly respectful of his predecessor, let no one doubt the sharpness of Francis' turn away from the dead end of Benedict. His message is as different as the context. Where Benedict, draped in ornate vestments, spoke from the grand edifice of the Vatican, Francis is in the same simple hostel in which he was ensconced during the Papal Conclave.
Martin Longman at Washington Monthly eagerly senses a less political pontiff:
Pope Francis I isn't changing any doctrine with these kinds of remarks, but he is making a rather clean break with his two most recent predecessors, whose tone and emphasis was much more in tune with the Reaganite Right in this country.
Damon Linker at New Republic: The pope's comments are not a "revelation."
Consider what the pope did not say. He didn't say that homosexual acts are morally permissible. He didn't say that abortion can be morally acceptable in certain (or any) circumstances. He didn't say anything to indicate he was interested in revisiting Pope Paul VI's 1968 reaffirmation of the church's ban on artificial contraception. He didn't imply that he's interested in revising the church's strictures against married priests. He certainly didn't indicate an openness to permitting the ordination of women. The interview contains no sign that the pope is willing to budge on any of the items on the progressive Catholic wish-list of reforms.
If you've been able to ward off any undue influencing, but still may not be able to read the whole interview yet, then this site might be for you. It lists the sixteen most important quotes from the exchange, with no analysis, spin, or snark attached (although it still calls the interview "incredible").

More and more, I'm doubting the idea of the papacy of Pope Benedict as a 'dead end'. Perhaps the past few decades was the Holy Spirit making a 'best and final offer' to people who wanted all of us to believe the Church began at the Council of Trent. In addition, Pope Francis seems to have taken seriously the concept of 'to preach as Jesus preached", judging from the reactions of Christians and non-Christians to his statements.
The view of the church's teaching as a monolith to defend without nuance or different understandings is wrong. Piece on Pope Francis
"When does a formulation of thought cease to be valid? When it loses sight of the human or even when it is afraid of the human or deluded about itself. Pope Francis
Pope Francis' honeyed words and show time gestures endearing as they are, -- are only a starter. He has now moved to the entrée. No, monolith. Si, human-constructed validity. This means studying the best expertise and evidence and embracing appropriate action. A powerful intellectual repertoire is out there in the world and must be used to bring us out of our world crisis. We must understand ourselves as evolutionary creatures, yes, even in the matter of faith and morals. We must be open to the possibility of profound change, to a giant leap for our species -- to attempt to help bring people and planet back into balance as much as we are able, given the cosmic counter forces we face. Even today I viewed in the media some of the great minds of our day. We are in global stagnation. There are many reasons for this. Our grand opportunity has arrived!

A Big Heart Open to God
The exclusive interview with Pope Francis
Pope Francis shows himself to be a Jesuit extraordinaire in this interview. He thinks like a Jesuit, he answers questions like a Jesuits, He prefers to think rather than offer answers on the spot. Imagine that, "thinking" coming back to Catholicism after the last two Popes banished it. He "discerns" like a Jesuit. He has a Jesuit imagination that tends towards narrative, composition of place and entering into the scene. His thoughts on thinking with the Church are fimly grounded in the proper understanding of what that means; very Ignatian. He has Jesuit concerns for the well being of humanity, and he has strong preferential option of the poor, as well as for finding God in all things. His whole perspective is informed by cura personalis and the Jesuit "way of proceeding." He has the power to move the right towards the center as they discover the freedom that lies at the heart of Jesuit and Catholic spirituality. Ignatius must be immensely proud of this Pope.
Actually, man is not the measure of all things, especially when it come to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I think the guy from The New Republic got it about right; metaphysical and theological Catholics are in for a rude awakening. But they never learn, because they think with their libidos and emotions.
Ditto, Alan Mitchell. Well said.
Yes, good interview. We must be cautious though of the elevation of the papacy to represent the breadth of what Catholicity is all about. There are many important perspectives and the pope, it goes without saying, is not the Church nor even the centre of the Church.
I think we must also be cautious of getting lulled into a cult of personality. Great stylistic points but I see little evidence to none of women assuming key Curial posts. This he could certainly do, as even Benedict admitted the possibility.
All of that is not to say that I do not value symbols nor even do I think style and messaging is not important. It is and I give him credit.
An accessible and populist pope is good to see but everybody has clay feet! The next one may not be the same but the church continues.
A pope who loves Knappertsbusch's Parsifal and quotes Turandot and denounces restorationism and says the CDF should lay off and be mediators rather than managers is a pope we can do business with!
Joseph O'Leary: Is it now become an article of faith that Furtwängler's recording is the best Ring cycle there is?
His comments on abortion and contraceptives should be noted especially because they are preeminently women's issues. Men are big and loud about it. Women suffer the consequences.
No one has commented on the point that this was a huge boost for Jesuit publications. The America magazine website did on one day cumulatively more than it has done since it opened.
@ Joseph S. O'Leary: Interesting that your turn of a quote "a [pope] we can do business with" is actually a paraphrase of what Maggie Thatcher once said of Mikail Gorbachev, the last of the Communist General Secretaries of the old Soviet Union.
Are you suggesting that Papa Francesco may well take the Roman papal feudal monarchy into the mists history just like Gorbi did for the Soviet Union?
The interview projects a very alive, in the moment, perspective. Very Jesuit, and promising, (despite his lamentable lack of appreciation of women's full humanity). One of my favorite bits is this one, quite different from the view of the Church as the guardian of Christian memory and judge of all things new that one might have picked up from Lumen Fidei:; The Pope comments: 'St. Vincent of lLerins makes a comparison between the biological development of man and the transmission from one era to another of the deposit of faith, which grows and is strengthened with time and so also human consciousness deepens. Let us think of when slavery was accepted or the death penalty was allowed without any problem. So we grow in understanding of the truth. Exegetes and theologians help the church to mature in her own judgment. Even the other sciences and their development help the church in its growth in understanding. There are ecclesiastical rules and precepts that were once effective, but now they have lost value or meaning. The view of the church's teaching as a monolith to defend without nuance or different understandings is wrong."
Sorry about the typos in the above. My ferociously protective Webroot refuses to let me cut and paste into your comboxes. The price of progress?
Susan Gannon
Wonderful reflection with which I agree. I like the fact that you distinguish exegetes from theologians.
May I also recommend this take from Andrew Brown in the Guardian, who looks beyond the "headline-grabbing stuff" to the broader vision for the church that Francis articulated and sees a repudiation of "the fortress Catholicism of the last two popes" and in its place "a programme of decentralisation, of hope, and above all of realism and truth to experience." He notes how this interview already frees priests to follow the agenda of mercy and inclusiveness that Francis outlines: "what he has done here is to make it impossible for reactionary bishops to demand that their priests clamp down on sexual sin among the congregation.... The parish priests are now freed to act as their consciences tell them."
"The thinking of the church must recover genius and better understand how human beings understand themselves today, in order to develop and deepen the church's teaching." Pope Francis
"The thinking of the church must recover genius and better understand how human beings understand themselves today, in order to develop and deepen the church's" willingness to learn. It is cultural evolution. The axial age church as a religion evolves into a post-axial age faith and moral agency phenomenon. The advance of human knowledge i.e. relevant expertise and evidence are our teachers. The entire Roman Catholic infrastructure from governance to doctrine to practice has to be revised based on this expertise and evidence. Are the hierarchy and people ready to accept this and recover genius? Hopefully, because it's all we have and imperative for people and planet to evolve, not spiral to extinction. The Divine search continues.

I am a freelance programmer and I suffer from procrastination - a lot. When I manage to dive into work I really enjoy it, but then after a while something crosses my mind, and I have strong urge to google that and google this and suddenly I am browsing web for two hours looking for random stuff and reading blogs. Luckily, my OS of choice is Linux (Archlinux), so I have a power of customization at my hands. I was thinking of installing brand new distribution on separate partition that would allow me only to do my work and nothing else. But unfortunately most of my work is web development so I need access to web as well.
My question is: What approach do you propose for creating work environment that enables only editing in vim, accessing localhost for testing websites and occasional googling for some solutions, function references, etc. (that could be done in command line web browser).
Than, after 12-16 pomodoros of work, I'd reboot into my full fledged OS and catch up with the internetz and relax :)

Sometimes I see stuff like this:
X said, "..."
"..." X did this, and then said, "..."
Is it used to just vary sentence structure? Or to make dialogue more readable or smoother in certain situations?
Sometimes I see stuff like this:
Is it used to just vary sentence structure? Or to make dialogue more readable or smoother in certain situations?
Yes to both as Lauren said, and once you train the reader that you're a nice author who doesn't ever violate "One speaker per line" and sticks to that while mixing emotes and actions in too, you may go with a third form which is then even more smooth:
It's the actions that describe the speaker, and you kill two birds with one stone, give variety against "he said, she said" and get the scene to live for real.
Yes to both. Repetitive sentence structure grates on the ear. Also, sometimes it helps to clarify the speaker before the dialogue, and sometimes you actually want action or a pause to occur before the speech, but not separate from it.
The second example just inserts the tag in the middle of speech, which is fairly standard if redundant. The first example though...
If you're asking for the reason for this ordering - it's a matter of personal style. In literary writing it feels awkward and is rarely used... mostly by unskilled authors, because they don't know any better.
Now first, why they (the unskilled authors) write it like that, and when would skilled authors use this is how natural speech follows:
Contrast it with what you'd find in books:
If, in normal conversation, you report someone's speech, you first identify the speaker, then follow up either with the quote or a paraphrase. So, if you want to create this impression - of the narrator talking directly to the reader, then you'll use this ordering. It contrasts standard literary narration with conversational tone, removes the impersonal distance of the narrator.
I really love the dialogue in the Guest translation of the Mabinogion, it adds to the feeling that you are reading a text from a different time:
No variation, and only the first speaker is named, the following turns are all not identifed.
It won't help you write good dialogue today, but it shows that there is not one single genre of fiction with universal rules, and that maybe sometimes a bit of courage to find your own style of writing will make your book stand out and prevail among a host of formulaic bestseller clones.
I use non-conversation bits to show where pauses or lulls in the conversation occur. They can be short, like:
"Hey," said Bob.
"Hey yourself."
"So..." Bob started and then cleared his throat. This was only my third week on the job but I knew even at that early date that when Bob cleared his throat, he had something truly stupid to say. "Do you have those TPS reports?"
I stared at Bob incredulously. What did he think this was, Office Space? "No, Bob, I do not have them. Perhaps they got lost in the year 1998."
Hopefully that first one demonstrated a little awkward pause while the main character thought up a (semi) witty response. You can also make them longer:
"Nancy, what do you think of the global dilemma?"
Patricia was always asking Nancy stupid questions like this. She was soooo dumb. If she really wanted an answer, couldn't she just look it up on like Wikipedia or something? Maybe she could ask Jeeves. Oh my god! Was Ask Jeeves even still around? Maybe Jeeves had been replaced by a younger, hunkier guy named like Falco or something. No, that was stupid; computers don't get old and only rich guys ever used Ask Jeeves so they'd probably always want some fake old butler dude.
"Nancy, are you even listening to me?"
You can just add he said/she said to the end of each line; in fact, your readers will generally get the hang of it after an exchange or two (especially if your dialogue is strong enough) and you really don't need to add any tags at all. The thing about doing that is, it makes the conversation feel like a high-speed, no-pause madcap comedy style banter (think: Gilmore Girls), and if your characters are just talking about what went on that day at school it's going to feel a bit off. Additionally, there becomes a risk of making the characters seem like disembodied talking heads if you keep it up for too long.
One little trick you can do - that I recommend doing for dialogue in general - is on your subsequent drafts, go in and read it out loud. For one thing, in my experience this really roots out any inauthentic sounding verbiage, sentences that are too long to be said within one breath, and so on. For another, I think that with dialogue in particular you get a pretty good sense of how long those filled pauses occur. In real life, people say "um" and "ah" a lot; readers won't like you to drop those in (unless you want to portray a dullard) but they do kind of expect the "pause" side of the filled pause.

Today's installment of Better Know A Scientist is Byron Roberts. He was kind enough to answer some questions via e-mail recently. Here's the transcript.
Atoms to Zebras (AZ): Thank you for taking the time to allow us to better know you and your work. Tell us about yourself.
Byron Roberts (BR): I have a somewhat unusual history compared to many graduate students. I grew up in northern California, in Sonoma County, and graduated from high school there in 1991. From high school I went to the local junior college and took courses that pre-med students usually take in their first couple years of college. However, I wasn't a particularly motivated student at that time, so it took me a few years before I had got enough work done in order to transfer to one of the University of California campuses (UC Riverside). Right about the time that I got accepted for transfer, I decided that I wanted to become a paramedic and work on a 911 ambulance for a couple of years while I finished college. So instead of going to UC, I applied to paramedic school and went through all of that. I had intended to go back to college right after I finished paramedic school, but back when I first got my license, paramedic jobs were hard to come by. My first full-time ambulance job consisted of 24-hour shifts, which made going to school extremely difficult. At any rate, it wasn't until January 2000 that I was able to switch to 12-hour night shifts and get back to school. However, now I was a much more serious student. I spent another year and a half at the Santa Rosa Junior College and this time got accepted to UC Davis, to which I transferred in 2001, initially as a Cell Biology major. While I was at Davis I participated in undergraduate research, and it was there that I realized that what I really wanted was a career in scientific research and not clinical medicine. However, my research interests are still strongly driven by my past experiences in the clinical world. I graduated from UC Davis in 2003 with a B.S. in Genetics, and took a job there at the Vet School studying the molecular genetics of brain tumors in dogs (pet dogs get brain tumors that are very similar to those seen in humans), as well as developing potential therapies to treat brain tumors. In the summer of 2005 I started graduate school in New York at the Tri-Institutional Program in Computational Biology and Medicine.
AZ: Explain to the readers your general area of research?
BR: In order for our hearts to be effective at doing their job of pumping blood throughout our bodies, they need to function in a certain way. The four chambers of the heart need to work together in a concerted fashion. Also, the heart can't beat too slowly; otherwise the needs of the various organs and tissues won't be met. But the heart can't beat too fast, either, since a heart that is beating too fast won't have enough time to fill up with blood between beats. The mechanical pumping action of the heart is regulated by an electrical system within the heart. In order for the various parts of the heart to work together, and with the correct timing, electrical impulses must originate in a specific region of the heart and then be conducted throughout the rest of the heart in a specific pattern and in the proper amount of time. Many people aren't aware, especially on a day-to-day basis, of this electrical activity that's going on in the background to keep their hearts pumping correctly, but it turns out that this electrical activity is very complex. Even within individual cardiac cells there are a fairly large number of components that must work together to produce the correct electrical series of events. And on top of that, there are billions of cells in a human heart that must work together, adding additional complexity! The people in our lab use computers, in addition to doing wet-lab experiments, to study different aspects of electrical activity in the heart. In particular we are interested in arrhythmias, which are abnormal (and sometimes lethal) electrical conduction patterns in the heart. By learning more about the mechanisms by which arrhythmias arise, better treatments (and prevention) for a wide range of cardiac conditions can hopefully be developed.
AZ: What is your area of focus?
BR: I'm still in a very early phase of my work, but I've become extremely interested in what are referred to as reperfusion arrhythmias. When blood flow is cut off to a region of the heart (as during a heart attack, when one or more coronary arteries become blocked) or to the entire heart (as during some surgical procedures which require the heart to be stopped temporarily), changes occur in the tissue that is not being perfused (i.e. tissue is being deprived of blood flow): the cells aren't getting glucose that is needed to make energy required to carry out work, the inside of the cells become too acidic, etc. When you restore blood flow (the blocked coronary artery is reopened or bypassed, or the heart is restarted at the end of surgery) and the tissue that was previously deprived of a fresh blood supply is reperfused, you might expect everything to return back to normal. However, in some patients, the opposite occurs: the heart actually gets sicker. The affected region of the heart might not be able to pump as strongly anymore, or severe electrical disturbances (arrhythmias) may occur. There has been progress on this problem in the past, and there are certain things that many people agree are happening when these reperfusion arrhythmias occur. But it appears that the causes of the problem have not been completely worked out yet, not to mention that there still appears to be room for improvement in devising therapies. I hope to be able to make some progress in this arena.
AZ: What led you to your current position?
BR: Back when I was working as a paramedic, a lot of what I did revolved around monitoring cardiac electrical activity, as well as treating emergent cardiac problems. I monitored the ECG (an ECG gives a "picture" of the heart's electrical activity as seen from the surface of the body) in probably the majority of my patients. In addition, some of the most powerful tools at my disposal acted directly on the heart: either drugs or electrical therapy to "reset" the heart in cases of extremely severe cardiac arrhythmias (the familiar paddles that are used to shock patients when they've experienced a cardiac arrest). My first exposure to reperfusion arrhythmias came when I was in paramedic school. We had to spend a couple of days doing a rotation in the cardiac cath lab, where images are taken of the coronary arteries, or procedures such as an angioplasty to unblock a coronary artery using a miniature balloon are performed. During one of the angioplasty cases that I was watching, almost immediately after the coronary artery was reopened, all of these extra irregular heart beats (called ectcopy) appeared, and shortly thereafter the patient went into cardiac arrest. The team was able to shock that patient and get the heart restarted, but I remember thinking, "Whoa, what just happened there?" At that time someone explained to me why reperfusion arrhythmias occur, and I came away thinking that the whole mechanism was already worked out. But recently I learned that the whole puzzle is not in fact solved, and now I'm working on this interesting problem that I have seen directly affects real patients.
AZ: What did you want to do when you were growing up?
BR: When I was a kid, I loved to take apart and tinker with all sorts of machines, and later computers. By the time I was in junior high, I had decided that I wanted to work with with computers and/or robots. But later my interests turned more to biology and medicine, so by the time I was half-way through high school I decided that I wanted to become a physician. I guess I've landed somewhere in between: using computers to tackle medical problems.
AZ: What do you enjoy most about your work?
BR: I get to continually learn new things about how nature works, and I get to work on a problem that was largely of my own choosing. Being a graduate student means that your time can be relatively free of rigid structure, and it requires a lot of reading, which is something that I love to do.
AZ: What is the most challenging aspect?
BR: Figuring out which questions to ask. There are always lots of questions that can be asked, but I need to formulate my questions in a way that is specific enough to make them scientifically tractable.
AZ: What's on the horizon in your line of work?
BR: I'm still in the early phase of my program, so my next steps will be to finish courses and take my Advancement to Candidacy Exam.
AZ: Any advice for students interested in your field and science in general?
BR: Communication is an important part of science that I think is too often overlooked. Whether it's writing or public speaking, try to get feedback from your colleagues after you've given a talk or written something. My two pet peeves (actually, I think I have a lot more than just two!) are presentations that have not been targeted to the audience correctly, and presentations that are comprised of disjoint pieces of information that don't tell a cohesive story. The latter is especially easy in this age of PowerPoint where people tend to put lots of pretty pictures or huge amounts of text onto their slides. My personal feeling is that even if you feel like you're "dumbing down" your presentation too much, there will probably still be a sufficient number of people in your audience who will appreciate it and actually get more out of your talk or paper than if you had done otherwise.
Many thanks to Byron. For more information on his work check out the website for the Tri-Institutional Program in Computational Biology and Medicine and the Cardiac Electrodynamics Laboratory. Stay tuned to learn more about his and for more chances to Better Know A Scientist (index).

Petit killer wants to waive appeals
|Steven Hayes
HARTFORD — A man on Connecticut's death row for killing a mother and her two daughters in 2007 wants to waive his appeals and volunteer for execution, a newspaper reported Thursday.
Steven Hayes wrote in a letter to the Hartford Courant that he cannot live with what he calls "cruel and unusual punishment" by prison staff at Northern Correctional Institution in Somers. In the letter dated Sept. 29, he wrote that he would make a formal announcement about his decision later.
"I was willing to live with the intense grief from my past actions, and I still am willing," Hayes wrote. "However, I cannot live with the intense tourcher (sic), torment, harassment, and the resulting psychological trauma dished out by the Dept. of Corr. staff here at Northern."
Correction Department spokesman Brian Garnett said a disciplinary report led to Hayes losing prison visits for 30 days. Garnett said the department provides for safe and humane supervision of inmates.
The state Public Defender's Office capital defense unit is handling Hayes' appeal. The unit's leader, Michael Courtney, declined to comment to the newspaper on any recent discussions attorneys have had with Hayes.
Hayes and a co-defendant, Joshua Komisarjevsky, were sentenced to death for the killings of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters during a Cheshire home invasion. Hayes raped and strangled Hawke-Petit. Her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, died of smoke inhalation after they were doused with gasoline and the house was set on fire.
Hayes had said previously he would not follow the example set by serial killer Michael Ross, a Connecticut death row inmate who waived his appeals and was executed in 2005. Hayes had said he promised his lawyer he would not end his appeals to hasten his own execution.
But his desire to die has been a theme of his defense since the July 23, 2007, killings.
As his trial was getting under way, Hayes was found unconscious in his prison cell after overdosing on prescription medication. In testimony at the trial, Hayes said he slashed his wrists, slammed his mother's car into a rock and tied a sock around his neck.

Homeless Outreach
Homeless Outreach is a program at Gonzaga that strives to provide opportunities for students that would like to aid the Spokane community in dignifying, uplifting, de-marginalizing, and connecting with the homeless population. This mission is not effectively pursued by donating goods and time at institutions that provide services to the homeless, but with conscious, humble, selfless interactions that work to humanize and honor the homeless population as equal members of the human community. This program seeks to raise awareness about what it means to be homeless and how every person can help without creating a stigma of shame.
To achieve this mission, Homeless Outreach provides 2 unique opportunities for students to volunteer:
1. Football Saturdays - on Saturday afternoons from 12pm - 3pm we join with men and women at the House of Charity in downtown Spokane in a shared experience centered around College Football.
2. Meals at St. Margaret's - on Wednesday evenings from 5pm - 7:30pm, students venture to St. Margaret's shelter for women and children, working alongside the women to create and share a meal. Students build relationships with the women and their children through story sharing and community building.
For more information about this program, contact us at: email@example.com or 509-313-6824.

Local Congressman Mike Thompson's appointment to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence bodes well for Del Norte County.
At first glance, the appointment may not seem so wonderful. Certainly the local issues that we're most concerned about fighting meth, economic development and the lack of health care providers has little to do with the CIA and gathering of intelligence.
But the Intelligence Committee is a prestigious assignment, especially now given the war in Iraq and Osama bin Laden still at large. Considering that the Intelligence Committee likely will play a key role in the Democrat's strategy to take back the White House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not appoint Thompson to it if she didn't trust him.
And on Capitol Hill, loyalty is rewarded usually with goodies for one's home district.
We don't mean to sound cynical about politics or the Democrats. But with rare exception that has been the political reality in Washington for more than two centuries, regardless of who's in power. Thomas Jefferson as a president, Davy Crockett as a congressman and modern day political analysts all have complained about the primacy of politicking on Capitol Hill.
In any case, we have little doubt that Pelosi or any other House speaker would appoint someone to the Intelligence Committee who didn't have a little background and keen interest in the issues it addresses. As a Vietnam combat veteran, Thompson certainly has the credentials, and as a vocal critic of the Iraq war, definitely the interest. But he also has Pelosi's trust.
The question now facing local officials is if they'll make sure we benefit from Thompson's elevated position. County, city and area civic leaders ought to jointly develop a strategy for ensuring we stay in touch with his office so our needs such as improvements to federal highways and the local airport, enhanced resources to combat meth and additional financial support for health provider recruitment are met.
The sooner we do this the better. We only have a couple of short years before the next election, after all. As the Republicans' fall in 2006 despite solid wins in 2004 show, in politics the winds change very rapidly and often unpredictably.

Commercial slackline solutions seem bulky, heavy, overpriced, and a little too industrial for my liking. I have 6 carabiners and 50m of tubular webbing. What knots do you recommend for building, anchoring and tightening a slackline?
I am not (yet) a slackliner, but I have been impressed with the methodology of testing and development of Adam Burtle of NWslackline.org. His site has a number of videos that demonstrate different anchoring and tensioning systems. He also does line tension measurements and break testing on different setups and materials.
When you watch his videos make sure you have annotations turned on as they often contain important details, corrections or revisions.
I cannot recall seeing an anchor/tensioning system using only carabiners but the line-locker system using a forged rappel ring is simple, light and inexpensive. Chain links are even less expensive but need to be deburred to protect your webbing. One of his basic tensioning systems looks like this (the load cell is only for testing of course):
Further illustration and efficiency testing (video).
Rigging a 2″ line without a ratchet.
In Strength of 3 men, for only $20 (article and video) he rigs a basic pulley system:
More advanced equipment and techniques will be needed for long lines.
You have probably already seen the excellent resource at www.slackline.com but they have an excellent page on how to tie your slackline to a tree using ordinary webbing and carabiners.
Key image from their sequence:
Then just add a carabiner (with webbing wrapped round it to protect) to the metal ring and you are set.
Total kit required:
For tensioning, people use 3:1 or even 6:1 pulley systems with some success, but you'll find it hard to get enough tension to avoid bottoming out.
This guy tries a few pulley setups, but still has a fair amount of drop in his line.
Realistically, you'll want a ratchet like this one - it's the only way to get enough tension in your line!

As a long-time chorister, I've always wondered what drives choirs to flat or sharp out of certain keys. For instance, the choir I sing with consistently fails to remain in the key of F, whereas shifting the music to F# fixes our tonality issues instantly.
If you're absolutely sure that this is occurring, I'd guess it has something to do with the voices of the singers in your particular choir: there are areas called "breaks" in the human voice, and around those particular pitches, it can be easy to allow yourself to slip flat or sharp. I suspect the pieces you're singing stay close to some singers' breaks, and shifting the key is moving the pitches in a way that causes them to fall cleanly into one area of the voice or another, reducing the tendency to fall out of tune.
But this seems very unlikely. It could be psychological--changing to an unfamiliar key could cause the singers to listen more closely. I'd be surprised if this phenomenon arose in a controlled experimental environment.

Fifty-eight percent of Raynham voters cast ballots in the last special Senate Election three years ago, but Town Clerk Marsha Silvia expects turnout to be much lower on Tuesday.
"This election seems to be different," Silvia said.
The 2010 special Senate Election, pitting Democrat Martha Coakley against rising Republican star Scott Brown, generated a lot of buzz in Massachusetts and nationally in the wake of the death of Senate Titan Ted Kennedy.
This time around, U.S. Representative Ed Markey, the Democrat, and business owner Gabriel Gomez, the Republican, are vying to succeed John Kerry, who resigned to become U.S. secretary of state. Third party candidate Richard A. Heos of the Twelve Visions Party is also on the ballot.
In 2010, the town clerk's office received requests from the candidates "for voter activity information, voter lists, etc." But Silvia said she's received no such requests this time around, a possible indication of a less hard-fought campaign with less outreach and lower turnout.
The senate race is the only one on the ballot.
The town has a single polling place, Raynham Middle School at 420 Titicut Road. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, June 25.

I'm just reading The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams and am very impressed how on almost every page, Ms. Williams seems to "pull out" some beautiful typeface which I've never heard of. (I'm not a design professional.) This has got me wondering:
Where do professional designers find their typefaces? Are there books you can buy with nothing but type samples? Are there certain websites which are commonly used by "the pros"?

I've just stucked into the same problem as thread starter did
I've attached a simple demonstration. It's build with GWTP 0.7, GXT 3.0.1, GWT 2.4.0. What it does:
BasePresenter is the one which handles basic application layout. NestedPresenter is the one that provides content for 'center' widget of BorderLayoutContainer in BasePresenter's view.
NestedPresenter generates 50 rows of data for Grid and injects them into it when handling RevealContentEvent is handled.
If grid is inserted with VerticalLayoutData(1, -1) the grid ignores page's bottom border and flows deeply under it (no scrollbar is provided). If VerticalLayoutData(1, 1) is used, then Grid preserves some space for vertical scrollbar (it's differable from previous view's render results) but Grid's body is rendered with height: 0px style property. I couldn't trace into where height is calculated.
24 Oct 2012 11:22 AM #12
Grid must be sized to work correctly. A lot of people get hung up on this, so I'm working on a Learn article discussing this and other layout bits, and we'll be adding some optional logging for layouts and sizing for the next version.
Grid needs to be given a size, so that it knows how much width it has for all columns (to allocate each column, to draw each row), and how height all rows will have (to set up the header and optionally footer so they never move, only the data moves).
Both Vertical- and HorizontalLayoutContainers accept three sets of values:
o Values greater than one are treated as specific pixel values
o A value of -1 means "Don't assign a size, trust the child to work out its own size"
o Values between 0.0 and 1.0 are treated as percentages of the leftover space from the above two.
By adding a grid to a VLC or HLC with layout data with a -1 value, you are explicitly telling the container to not size the grid. This results in the grid not knowing how much space it has, and it may make bad assumptions, resulting in extra scrollbars, or a very small grid.
This means that VerticalLayoutData(1,1) is almost certainly the right answer in your case, and the fact that this doesn't work suggests that its parent might not be sized correctly. I haven't taken the time to try out the sample project - setup is sometimes easy, but sometimes takes considerable time. If this post doesn't help, see if you can detail what your layout structure is, or see if you can build a simple class, implementing EntryPoint, that shows the layout.
If I understand you, your app basically looks like this:
- RootPanel
--- Viewport (this sizes its child to the available browser size)
----- BorderLayoutContainer
------- (setCenter) VerticalLayoutContainer
--------- (VerticalLayoutData: 1,1) Grid
If there is no viewport, the BLC won't be given a size automatically, so the VLC won't have a size, and so the Grid can't be given one. If you don't want a viewport, try setting a size on the BLC, which really can't function well without one.
24 Oct 2012 11:41 AM #13
No. Actually my point is:
- ViewPort
--- north
--- west
--- center
---- ContentPanel
------ ToolBar
------ Grid
And setting Grid to VLD(1, 1) I assume VLC has been set it's height correctly via ViewPort's autosizing, hence Grid's sizing should be done right way. But it doesn't. As the result I get a Grid with it's header shown correctly, filled with data rows, it's body height set to 0px and whole Grid container (a <div> containing header and body) with height value that equals header's height.
24 Oct 2012 12:45 PM #14
Oh, just forgot one tip:
to run my sample project from within Eclipse one need to first maven-package the project ( mvn clean compile gwt:compile package) then:
- on windows copy target/GTEST-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib/* to war/WEB-INF/lib
- on UNIX-like just make a symlink to ../../target/GTEST-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib to war/WEB-INF/lib
25 Oct 2012 12:17 AM #15
My problem has been solved. I did wrongly call ContentPanel.setResize(false) for the widget where Grid was placed.
18 Apr 2013 6:17 AM #16
Same issue
After days of trying different solutions it worked like this:
instead of
vlc.add(grid, new VerticalLayoutData(1, 1));

I would like to print LEGO compatible figures. Which resolution is required for the 3D print in order to firmly fix the figures on LEGO bricks?
Depends on your tolerance. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego says: "The machines that make Lego bricks have tolerances as small as 10 micrometres."
For me, 3D printing resolution would need to be pretty close to that.
According to WikiPedia:
But, as I noted in a comment, that is in an industrial environment, where great care is taken to ensure that not just a one-off piece is right, but that the entire batch of pieces is right. They probably take a six sigma approach or something similar.
The image above shows the main dimensions of Lego pieces. Based on its source and the measurements given in this answer, we get 8.0mm per 20 LDU, or 0.4mm/LDU.
Since the smallest offset seen so far is 0.3 LDU, you would need at least a 0.12mm resolution to print that brick. But if you're printing pieces with a resolution of 1 LDU, you'd need a printer with at least a 1 LDU resolution.
So it depends on the resolution of the pieces you want to print.

Can the verb to scratch mean "start from the beginning"?
Can I say "I scratched" to say "I started from the beginning"?
No, to scratch cannot mean "start from the beginning". This is expressed by "to start from scratch":
Also, beware! The verb scratch can also mean to cancel or abandon, so saying "I scratched the project" would not mean you've started it from nothing, but that you cancelled it.

After reading reviews everywhere about this style running large I ordered them half a size smaller. They fit ok but I wouldn't be able to wear thicker socks or anything with them comfortably. Not sure why everyone thinks they run large; mine are being returned for my regular size. I am a straight us 7 and would say that unless you have super narrow feet and really small calves save yourself some return time and buy your regular size.
Okay so I purchased these boots about 4 years ago. They have been my favorite boots I have ever had. I am a curvy girl and the stretch on them is wonderful. I get compliments everywhere I go, even this long after. I've lugged them through Arizona, my home, and all over Europe, in all seasons and they have lasted, maintained their look, and are comfortable enough to wear for long days of walking. They are pricey but I promise you wont be disappointed. I just purchased the highland boots and am thrilled with the quality of those also. Life is too short, get the boots!!
From Boston and got these in the fall of '14. I was told they would last ten years, however, I am ready for a new pair. Run very big. I am normally 6.5/7 and got a 6.5 per sales person but my feet still slip in the heel. Absolutely beautiful leather but does not last for the $$ spent (cheap sole). I also have the Nudist and love.
I bought 2 pair of these two years ago--one in navy and one in grey. Since one pair was unavailable in a 9, I took the 8.5. Both of them feel terrific and fit PERFECTLY! Love the fact that the toe is rounded, so one's toes don't get squished. There is the perfect amount of room in the toe box on each pair. Also, both colors are just stunning, and I have received endless compliments on them. Have walked miles at a stretch in many different cities in each one, and they truly are THE PERFECT walking boot!As I had them waterproofed as soon as I received them, I just touch them up with the brush. Each pair looks like it came right out of the box!Also, LOVE the treading on the bottom. No worries about slipping or sliding around!This boots epitomize fashion meets comfort! You simply cannot go wrong in them!
Perfect slim fitted tall boot. I had them in black already so I bought the navy blue and love them. No other boot out there like this one. Can wear daytime and nighttime.
The leather of the black nappa leather boots feels so soft and buttery! I am only 5'0 and never thought I could pull off over-the-knee boots, but these look and feel amazing! I have very narrow calves, but the elastic half contours to the shape of your calf, so it fit very well. I feel like a rockstar when I walk in these! These are the first pair of shoes I have ever invested so much money in, but they really are worth every penny! You will definitely not regret buying them :)
These shoes are amazing! Super high quality, perfect for the office and for a day out on the weekend. Versatile, comfortable, and true to size.
I like it.
I have been obsessed with the 50/50 for a very long time and I just recently made the purchase. I am in love with these boots and wish I had made the plunge many years ago. The styling is gorgeous, very well crafted, and super comfortable. Looking forward to more cooler weather so I can wear my 50/50's.

Does anyone have an sources on this? I love the idea of playing video games to lose weight, just not sure how effective it is. At the end of my exercises it tells me your burned x calories, but not really sure how reliable the numbers are.

My girl friend and I used Your Shape (Xbox360 with Kinect) and in her case the calories indicated by the game were actually too low compared to what her Polar was indicating. Now by no means is this scientific or calibrated, but at least it means they're a nice estimate.
I'd say there's three things that are important:
And off course Kronos is absolutely right: if you eat more than you burn during the workouts, you don't loose anything... But! as your fitness improves, so will your metabolism, so it's OK-ish to eat a little bit more, but then you have to promise me that you'll do an extra two sets of Wii Tennis!
This image shows different games and their metabolic equivalent task (MET):
YES! but with a caveat: as with any other diet or workout plan, you have to stick to it. My sister-in-law everyday would workout using the Wii Fit. This included walking/running around the house for a half hour each day, doing yoga stretches, etc. Combined with a diet, she lost close to 26lbs in the course of a year. She still, to this day, wakes up early and works out using the Wii.
Sorry this is such a terrible picture, my cell phone was all that I could use at the time.
Her workout consisted of on average a 30 to 45 mins of aerobic workouts, and may have included others, such as stretches, or strength building exercises. Her main 'game' she used was Wii fit Plus, but now uses EA sports Active and says that it is better.
A man going by the name of DeLorenzo has also claimed to have lost weight using the Wii:
You don't necessarily lose weight because you burn more calories, even if you do so consistently. Using more calories will make your body demand more calories as well, i.e. you will be hungrier. So unless you control intake somehow, it will probably not have any effect at all on your weight.
The same goes for higher metabolism from more muscle as well, it's not sure that that will make your net calorie balance change.
The only way of being sure you lose weight is to control the number of calories you eat and adapt them to your expenditure. If you don't want to do that, and you typically don't, if you aren't a professional athlete or make it a big part of your life, you have to change how you eat and what you eat.
Hunger is not the only factor that determines calorie intake, appetite and habit are other ones. If you always have access to calorie-dense food, you will eat more because it will reward you more. On the other hand, if you have a habit of eating home cooked food, if you buy groceries when you're not hungry, and so on, you will eat what you have, because laziness and habit are more powerful than gluttony ;)
There is also some evidence that fructose changes your hunger levels.

I am new to this. I trained and tested my data using SVM in Matlab with the autoscale option true => the data would be normalized with unit SD. Let's say the training data have the price around 200.
During real time, let's say the price is around 300. I am wondering what is the practise in obtaining the mean and standard deviation in real time so that I could normalize the data for the model I built previously?

To the Editor,
The recent school shooting in Connecticut is heartbreaking. What demonic forces motivate these people to do these things?
There are, naturally, emotional calls for ever more strict gun control laws. What this, as always, fails to take into account, is that criminals are criminals, exactly because they don't obey the law.
How many criminals do you think buy their guns at Cabela's or Wal-Mart?
Crime rates are dropping, overall, while gun sales are climbing. The Anti-gun lobby denies a connection; when guns were banned in Great Britain some years ago, crime rates, especially crimes involving guns, increased by fifty-three percent, because law-abiding former gun owners were left at the mercy of gun-wielding criminals, who were somehow supposed to have been denied their weapons, right along with everyone else.
Should we deny millions of other responsible, law-abiding gun owners their legal right to their weapons, because of a relative handful of whackjobs?
The people in power, who use every such opportunity to chip away at the Second Amendment right to self-defense, are themselves protected by armed bodyguards.
You want to stop these school shootings? Arm the teachers; any teacher who wants to bring a gun to school, let them. Any teacher who wants a concealed- or open-carry permit, they pay half, the county pays half. Train them properly; make it part of their education. Adapt to this problem. It's in their best interests, too.
Some schools already have an armed guard. He/she gets shot, game over for everyone else. Arm the teachers, there could be dozens of armed guards.
The first malignant, gun-wielding mental deficient entering a school would get off maybe two shots, before experiencing a hail of return fire, serving as an example to future malignant, gun-wielding mental deficients. Problem solved.
Why do you think these types of shootings don't happen in inner-city schools? Because the kids know that many of the other students, and probably teachers, too, are carrying; that such an attempt, then, would be futile and short-lived.
Besides, we already spend nearly half a trillion dollars a year on public education, only to graduate vast numbers of virtual illiterates with few basic skills. Why not use some of it to make schools safer?
But this will never happen; after all, schools are zero tolerance, "no gun zones". Sure stopped Adam Lanza, didn't it?
Some say that prayer would have helped; others, mainly atheists, of course, snidely dismiss this notion.
To me, prayer isn't the issue, it's the life-affirming values that are instilled in the kids by the act of prayer. These types of mass shootings only ever seem to happen in public schools, and we didn't start hearing about anything like this until after they made sure God had been shoved completely out of public education; that the curricula had been completely secularized. You reap what you sow. We rarely, if ever, hear about it in private, Christian and Catholic schools, where such solid, traditional values are still taught.
That should tell us something, I think.

Generous padding is added in all the places you'll need it, including under the upholstery at the bottom of each sofa's front, ensuring comfort and a smooth look.

This enables each customer - whether she prefers a firm sit or a cushy sit - to find comfort in the Younger line of sofas.
Take a look at how these sofas are made at Younger's North Carolina facility.

Box Score | Game Notes
CHARLOTTE (March 29, 2013) – Forward Jack Combs recorded his first career hat trick, while netminder Dov Grumet-Morris turned aside 34-of-36 shots to help propel the San Antonio Rampage (29-29-1-6) past the Charlotte Checkers (38-24-2-3), 5-2, on Friday night in the first game of the two-game set at Time Warner Cable Arena.
The victory was San Antonio's second-straight win over teams within the top four of the Western Conference standings. In the past two wins, the Rampage have outscored opponents, 9-3. The game was also the fifth straight affair where San Antonio held Charlotte to two goals and improved the Rampage to 3-3-0-1 against the Checkers this season.
In addition to big nights from Combs and Grumet-Morris, who were awarded First and Second Star honors, respectively, Jon Rheault tallied his second empty net goal in as many nights to reach the 20-goal plateau for the first time in his AHL career.
Combs scored just 55 seconds into the first period when he broke in on a partial breakaway after a Charlotte defenseman lost an edge near the blueline. The goal was the fastest tally to start a game this season since Andre Deveaux scored 53 seconds into the game on Oct. 25 against Chicago.
Combs added his second goal of the night at 8:58 of the first period while on the power play when he banged home a Zach Miskovic point shot from in front of the net to make it 2-0. With the power-play goal, the Rampage have lit the lamp with the man advantage in 12 of their last 17 games.
John McFarland gave the Rampage a 3-0 lead at 11:14 of the first period when he took advantage of Charlotte turnover that gave him a clear shot on Checker's goaltender Rob Madore. The goal was McFarland's fifth point in his last six games.
Checkers captain Brett Sutter cut into the lead at 14:55 of the first period when he broke in on a 2-on-1 odd-man rush with Chris Terry, who fed him a cross-ice past that he fired past Grumet-Morris to make it 3-1.
After four goals and two brawls in the first period, neither club was able to light the lamp in the middle frame.
Combs completed his first career hat trick at 12:56 of the third period when he received a pass from Evan Barlow just below the right wing circle and fired it high past Madore. Combs, who was acquired via trade from Bridgeport on March 14, has tallied seven points in as many games with San Antonio.
Jared Staal would bring the Checkers within two goals at 18:18 of the third period, but Rheault would score his 20th goal of the year when he found the back of an empty net at 19:56 of the third period.
The Checkers outshot the Rampage, 36-32, but finished the night 0-for-2 on the power play, while San Antonio was 1-for-3 with the man advantage.
The clubs will meet for the final time this season tomorrow (Saturday) night at 6:00 p.m. before the Rampage return home on Tuesday, April 2nd face the Chicago Wolves. Tickets for remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.
