Unanswered: Updates not reflected on iOS Simulator after rebuild
Not sure if this is a Sencha issue or a Phonegap issue. I am working on a project using Phonegap 2.2.0 & Sencha Touch 2.1. Whenever I make a change in a JS file and rebuild the project using Xcode, in order for the change to be reflected in the iOS simulator I have to uninstall the old version first.
Is this a known issue? How do I solve it?

This doesn't really sound like a Touch issue. Is the app still running? If you tap on the home button twice is the app still there?Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Hi Mitchell,
Thanks for your reply. The issue occurs regardless I whether the app is running, closed but I'm background or shutdown completely.
It only updates properly if I remove the app first.

I have gotten inconsistent results from the combination of XCode/PhoneGap/Sencha unless I do this. Sometimes the app would immediately exit in the sim, sometimes the code changes wouldn't be reflected. So my workflow now is to create the Sencha app, and work on it in the browser for a while, then when I get to a testing point, I'll have Sencha cmd build the package. I've got the PhoneGap project pointing it's www directory to the package output directory via a symlink. So when I want to test in the simulator, I switch to XCode, clean the build, then hit run in simulator. It's a little longer, but the Sencha code is decoupled from the XCode project and the PhoneGap code, plus I don't have to spend the extra time wondering why things aren't working right in the simulator when I know the code I just wrote is there.

I am using
OpenLayers.Layer.Zoomify to show large image files and this works like a charm. The only thing is that I would like to add some options to that layer ( opacity and transitionEffect) but it doesn't seem to work. Code:
var zoomify = new OpenLayers.Layer.Zoomify( "Zoomify",
new OpenLayers.Size( zoomify_width, zoomify_height ),
{ opacity: 0.5, transitionEffect: 'resize'}
Isn't this the right way of doing it? Or is it not possible to add these properties to Zoomify layers? Nothing happens to my zoomify layer.

NYU Abu Dhabi's high performance computer (HPC) cluster, named "BuTinah," after the marine-protected archipelago reserve off the coast of Abu Dhabi, will play a critical role in supporting the computational requirements of the NYUAD research community. BuTinah is also connected to Ankabut, the United Arab Emirates' national research and education network, supporting high-speed connectivity between educational, research, and non-profit organizations in the country.
The supercomputer was ranked 397 in the June 2012 listing of the Top500, an industry ranking of the top 500 supercomputers around the world, and was also listed as the second-fastest HPC in the Arabian Gulf region. This state-of-the-art resource was built by Hewlett-Packard and is currently maintained at the Injazat headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
BuTinah runs at approximately 70 teraflops—or 70 trillion floating-point operations per second—the general performance measure of computational power. It consists of 512 super-dense compute nodes, each of which has a memory capacity of at least 48 gigabytes. Additional memory nodes supply 192 gigabytes of RAM, with an additional terabyte node dedicated for NYUAD's Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, enabling the analysis of very large data sets using statistical packages (such as R or Stata). Graphics processing units and visualization nodes included in the system are used for specialized functions, such as the translation of data into images.
BuTinah was funded by the NYUAD Institute, which has also funded a long list of research projects with high computational requirements. This was in direct response to the need of researchers to perform complex numerical calculations.
Some of the NYUAD Institute-funded research projects that have begun to use BuTinah include:
In addition to these exciting projects from researchers in the areas of chemistry, physics, engineering, and the social sciences, several more NYUAD Institute projects plan to make use of BuTinah's computing power:
Muataz Al-Barwani is the manager of the High Performance Computing Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. He joined NYUAD in February 2012. Before coming to NYU Abu Dhabi Muataz was the Manager of the HPC Facility Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat, Oman as well as being a full-time faculty and researcher in the area of computational physics from 2000 to 2012.

I know we're already a week into 2013, but I can't help but catch my breath and reflect on how much happened during 2012.
A new station always seeks to report the news - not to make it - but, in 2012, we found ourselves in the headlines twice for less-than-pleasant reasons. I'll never forget the 5pm news on Jan. 5, 2012. I was told we were turning our eagle eye camera to the old Menninger Hill for a huge fire. Before my eyes, I watched our former station building engulfed in huge flames, sending up a plume of thick, black smoke seen from miles away. So much history - personally, professionally and for television in general - built over decades, destroyed in hours. Authorities deemed it arson. So far, no arrests.
I also remember the morning of May 23rd. Sitting at home, I read an innocent Facebook comment which had me wondering if something happened at the TV station down the road. I texted my husband (chief photographer Doug Brown), who responded, "We're all ok." That was the day a man identified as Ray Miles broke through the front glass doors. He's since been convicted of assaulting several co-workers, stabbing two of them. I arrived at work later that day to blood stains on the hallway carpet and crunching on shattered glass as I walked to the front lobby. We couldn't be more thankful the situation didn't turn out worse than it did.
Three stories I covered will also stay with me for the depths of their tragedy. In March, I was called upon to cover the sexual assault and murder of eight-year-old Aliyah Irvin. The family agreed to an interview and, when her grandmother and great aunt approached, tears in their eyes, clutching her photo, all I could do was give them a hug. The suspect is due to stand trial this spring.
I took a day off in May to watch my nephew's baseball team play in the state tournament. On the way back, before heading to his younger brother's t-ball game, my neighbor tweeted me to ask if I could share a photo of a friend who had not returned home from a job earlier in the day. You hope and pray that this is just a case of teenager being absent minded about telling people where she was headed. By the time the t-ball game was over, we saw the helicopters circling. I was called in to do a 10pm live report at the Law Enforcement Center, where Sheriff Herman Jones confirmed moments before going on the air - 18-year-old Brenna Morgart had been found murdered. Amidst all the sadness, though, I found inspiration in how her family and friends and even those who didn't know her vowed to carry on her generous, caring spirit. To this day, in the northern part of the city and county, you'll see vehicles with WWBD - what would Brenna do? - imprinted on the windows.
The third story, of course, is the one that came just over a week before Christmas. My husband and I finished a sunset run when the first reports crossed Twitter - reports of a shooting outside a central Topeka grocery store. A while later, two officers reportedly injured. We headed into work and we started hearing rumors of the news that would be confirmed just before we hit the 10 pm news - Sgt. David Gogian and Officer Jeff Atherly were both killed in the line of duty. It was tragedy piled on top of tragedy - the previous Thursday, a little girl was killed in a dog attack; the previous Friday, 26 people were killed at a Connecticut elementary school. I flew to Wisconsin to visit family later that week and was struck by how close-knit the law enforcement community is when my sister introduced me to their school resource officer at an Oshkosh, WI restaurant. Turned out, he'd been watching our online coverage Sunday night.
As I'm writing this, I'm thinking it's a bit depressing that this is how I'm summing up 2012. But I also look at the bright side - all of these events seemed to galvanize our community - be it our workplace community or the community at large. It made us strong, made us closer and made us realize that we need to work together to keep anything like these events from happening again. Let's remember that feeling and that commitment to each other as we dive in to 2013!

Did you hear Newsweek to stop print publication?
More of the death of print media...
...but will anyone miss this other than the doctors and dentists who put this in these in their waiting rooms?

It's been so bad for so long, I'm really not surprised. I picked up one at the airport not long ago and found the layout to be nearly unreadable. Everything looks like ads.
Wow. That is so surprising. I didn't see this coming at all. /s
From Forbes:
"In [the] Tina Brown era, supposedly the dawn of a new attitude, Newsweek has gyrated through a series of increasingly embarrassing attempts to goose its traffic by trying on different attitudes like cheap suits. There was the "if Princess Di were alive" business, Niall Ferguson's error-ridden attack on Barack Obama, Andrew Sullivan's Obama hagiography, and most recently, a piece purporting to prove that "heaven is real," repeating about 50 bestselling mass-market books and Parade magazine covers of the past decade, but of course doing no such thing."
I got some free subscription to it at some point and the magazine is totally one sided now not to mention horrible writing etc.... I was getting ready to call and ask them to stop sending it its so bad .
Goes to show a free service so bad I call and ask them to stop . Sounds like I dont have to make that phone call now
Well, at least it'll save a tree or two...
@djbowman: I like how you're criticizing the publication's poor writing with, wait for it, poor writing!
About 3 weeks ago our local paper went from 7 days a week to Wed, Fri, and Sun. Won't be long before someone says "what's a book?" or "what's a paper?"
@mtm2: I think the concept of a book will always stay, but the notion of what format that is will be vastly different.
Books don't lose the essence of what makes them a book by not being printed.
Papers though, yeah.
@inkycatz: I'm not sure I agree with the concept of "don't lose the essence" when it's in e format. There is something to being able to hold a book, write in the margin, etc. While the concept of doing these things may be available in e format, it just isn't the same
Honestly I'm surprised that more magazines haven't stopped already.
@rprebel: In one of her recent tweets, she told Bill Maher that hell is real. That went over real well.
@royceeddington: i couldn't find that tweet, but I'm sure he was respectful. lol no, he's a d-bag. He's not wrong, though.
At one point a long time ago - about 30 years - both Newsweek and Time were a really great way to keep current with what was going on at the time (each had its own bias so most people read one or the other but not both in my experience)
I was getting ready to call and ask them to stop sending it its so bad .http://www.bearingforsale.com

5 Warning Signs Your Child's Daycare Is Not Right for You
4 of 6
Lack of Communication
A good daycare will encourage parents to be as involved as possible with the center and their child's care. Family meetings with the staff are an important way to stay connected and to know what is going on when you are not there. If your center does not hold regular meetings for parents and discourages you from visiting with staff or staying involved, you need to find a new center or talk to your center about making improvements. The center should also provide you with regular reports and updates on your child's progress and activities.
It's also important to connect with your child by asking him how the day was. Simple conversations like this can help alert you to any problems the center may be having, or if you child is unhappy.

MANCHESTER, Ky. (AP) -- An eastern Kentucky health department has been sued by an employee who claims she was punished for reporting possible retirement fund violations to the attorney general.
WYMT-TV reports a lawsuit filed this week by registered nurse Fonda Harris, accuses the Cumberland Valley District Health Department of violating Kentucky's Whistleblower Act.
Harris claims she was told by the Kentucky Retirement System that no money had gone into her retirement account for at least six months. But she says the money came out of her paychecks.
Harris reported the situation to the attorney general's office, which she says resulted in a workplace reprimand.
The health department's interim director recently said money was withheld from retirement accounts, because the district could not afford matching payments. The district hopes to resume payments in March.

When I create a model in ArcGIS using the Network Analyst Tools, I am able to create Locations and make the Route Layer and Solve. However, I need to be able to add barriers as well as locations, before solving for the Route. Is there a way to do this? Thanks! Renee
Barriers (Point, Line and Polygons Barriers) can be created/per-loaded before the solving to route.
Loading Point Barriers
When a point barrier is loaded or created, it snaps to the nearest network edge or junction within a search tolerance. The position of the barrier on the network is specified by the network location fields (
Line and Polygon Barriers also supported
Edit to add information
This screen shot might help clear it up - just add a new location of "barrier" type to your network analyst layer. In the screen shot, all 3 (start/end/barriers) are feature sets for the user to provide input with.
The thing that I'm having trouble with now (with the new model that includes barriers) is that when I run the model, then when I click on locations, I don't know if the process sees the locations as barriers or stops. I get error messages when it runs. How can I indicate which I am clicking on when it runs? Thanks.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Professor Frank Askin to Argue Challenge to Constitutionality of Iraq War at April 21 Hearing in Newark Federal Court
April 14, 2009 –The constitutionality of the War in Iraq will be the subject of a hearing in Newark's Federal District Court on Tuesday, April 21, at 11 am. The suit brought by the Constitutional Litigation Clinic at Rutgers School of Law–Newark challenges the legality of the invasion of Iraq without a Congressional Declaration of War. The plaintiffs are New Jersey Peace Action, a non-profit anti-war group; an Iraq war veteran; and two New Jersey mothers, members of Military Families Speak Out, whose sons were deployed in Iraq.
The April 21 hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Jose L. Linares is in response to the government's motion to dismiss the Complaint.
Rutgers Professor Frank Askin, Director of the law school's Constitutional Litigation Clinic, and Bennet Zurofsky, Newark attorney who is general Counsel of New Jersey Peace Action, will appear on behalf of the plaintiffs. The brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss the lawsuit can be found at http://law.newark.rutgers.edu/files/u/PltfsBriefInOppToDefsMotionToDismiss.pdf.
The complaint was drafted by Rutgers' law students under Professor Askin's supervision, after a year-long study of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the adoption of the Constitution's Article I, Section 8, lodging the power to declare war in the Congress, rather than the President.
The suit does not ask the Court to take any direct action against ongoing activities in Iraq. It claims that the President is not authorized under the Constitution to launch a preemptive war against a sovereign nation and seeks a Declaration that can be used as a guide to the legality of such actions in the future.

Essential baby items for a gift: any ideas?
My 17-year old cousin is giving birth this month and I won't be able to make the baby shower, but I'd still like to get her a gift since they aren't well off financially (which is a bit of an understatement..) so I know they will need some essential baby items. I also don't want to spend a ton of money (between $25-$50) and I won't be giving her the gift until about a month or two after birth. She's loaded up with hand me down baby clothes, so what are some other essentials that I could get for relatively inexpensive that would help them out?
I'm pretty crafty and was thinking I could make a cute gift basket with shampoo, baby wash, diaper cream, etc. Is this a lame gift, or are there any other essentials you could think of adding to it? I don't have any kids so I'm not sure what some overlooked essentials would be and what would really be appreciated by a young couple having their first baby.
23 Answers answer
Diapers, blankets and onesies seem to be the order of the day.
I would go with diapers, you can never have enough diapers.
Parents of babies can truly never have enough diapers and wipes. Even if you buy a size up in diapers, they will eventually get used. These were the things I remember being the most grateful for.
One gift my sister gave me when my youngest was born was a huge tub full of baby food (tons of jars and a few boxes of cereal). Using coupons and following sales, you can probably get a whole lot for your price range (and maybe add in some bowls, spoons, cups, etc). Granted, it didn't get used for a few months, but I didn't need to buy baby food for a long time, thanks to her. Just be sure to keep an eye on the expiration dates.
A diaper genie would be a terrific gift. I've given them to young parents who had no idea what they were and weren't particularly excited about receiving one, but later admitted that it was the single most useful thing they had ever received.
We have a newborn and it is so true about the diapers. It is amazing how many you go through in a day!
Some other ideas for the first few months might be diaper rash cream (never tried it, but the name is fun - http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Monkey-Butt-00031-Anti-monkey/dp/B0038T0R30/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1336067364&sr=8-3, baby wash (aveeno is nice and gentle) http://www.amazon.com/Aveeno-Baby-Soothing-Relief-Ounce/dp/B006O3MFHI/ref=sr_1_15?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1336067455&sr=1-15, gripe water (which has been great since our son is a bit gassy), and if she will nurse her baby, Lansinoh or Medela lanolin is a godsend. Might also be nice to add some gentle detergent like Dreft if your budgeted amount allows for it. Regular detergent can be harsh on baby`s new skin, so I use the gentler one for all of our baby*s items.
@belyndag: I've never heard of a diaper genie before, but that thing looks freaking amazing. I'm not sure if I'll get one for my cousin, but I think it is definitely going to be THE gift I get for all future baby showers.
I was going to recommend the diaper genie (it is excellent) as well, but if they are strapped for cash the refills may not be something they want to purchase. If that is not a factor, definitely recommend.
ask her if she's interested in making a baby registry. a coworker had one and i chose something that she actually wanted or needed. good thing is she had different price points so i chose what i was comfortable paying for, and even added a free gift message that most sites give.
here are some links she can look at. sign up and click away as things come to mind
@kristiwsu: Diaper champ is way better! Smell stays in and you dont have to buy refills, you can use any bag! like the 3000 bags you always forget to recycle at the store :) Good luck with what ever you choose!
@w00tgurl: Thanks for the suggestion. I asked my aunt if my cousin was registered anywhere and she said no, so I don't think she's going to start a registry. I don't believe they have the internet access and they live in a small town with Fred Meyer being the only semi-local store that sells baby gear, so it's not very convenient. Registries are a godsend though, especially when you don't really know someone that well.
Diapers are definitely a no-fail answer. I really found the bigger sizes helpful because it was like a nice surprise a couple months down the road and I remember using them as a trial to see if my children were to that size yet.
If you know that the mother is breastfeeding, I would highly recommend Lansinoh (you should be able to find it in the baby aisle even at chain retailers). It is a miracle ointment that helps with the soreness and dryness of breastfeeding. It literally saved my nursing relationship with my first child and I've given it to every new breastfeeding mother since, always with a tremendous thank you a couple weeks out.
@kophia: Our favorite diaper rash (or ANY skin condition) cream is made locally here in Louisiana:
@mommyleah: I've never seen one of those. I will be sure to look the next time I need to give a baby gift. The diaper genie's weren't even around back when mine were in diapers, and we used to BEG the grocery store for extra bags (Good Lord! Now I can't get rid of the things!) because you couldn't even buy those cheap rolls of diaper disposal bags available now. My sister introduced me to the diaper genie when her oldest was born and it has been my go-to gift ever since (and I usually include extra bags!). The last time I planned to give one I discovered that the new parents planned to use only cloth diapers, which seem to have come a long way from the old rectangle things requiring pins. @kristiwsu be sure that they plan to use disposables before you give them diapers!
+1 for Diapers. Go with a size 2 or 3. Most likely your cousin's baby will be through the newborn diapers and to size 1 by the time you get her your gift. She will also likely have a bunch of size 1 by then. We have a box of size 3's just waiting for use. The nice thing is we can pull one out when we think he is getting close to check for size.
(This is coming from the proud new father of a 4 month-old boy.)
I was going to suggest a subscription to Amazon Mom, but if they don't have internet access I would also go with diapers. She will never get too many. Make sure to get the ones that say 16-28 pounds because they never actually hold that much.
@belyndag: I will have to get some of that. I had bought some for a friend this past winter when her little one was having a rash and she said it worked nicely. Luckily we have not needed to use any yet. Thanks!
I know I'm gonna get some hate for this, but unless she already has her HS diploma and is marrying the father, the best gift you give would be to the taxpayers who are likely to end up supporting this child and her new baby.
Single women who give birth in their teens have only a 2% rate of completing college, and a MUCH higher-than-normal chance of living in poverty and being on one form or another of public assistance.
IMO, teens who get knocked up should not get to experience the normal fun things about a pregnancy, like baby showers.
OK, let the downvoting on this post begin.
With a limited income extra diapers come in very handy. Also oinment, wipes, and safety equipment for the house (a gate for the stairs or doorway, outlet covers, cabinet locks, etc).
I'd go with diapers and a baby first aid kit. If funds permit and if there's a place that offers it I'd also suggest a CPR class. I work in health care and trust me those classes are invaluable! yu would not believe what we see here that could have been far less tragic had someone known what to do.
As to the diaper Genie- I bought one when they first came out and I found them to be a pain. I returned mine within 3 days. I know people just adore them, but I was perfectly content with the blue diaper "trash" bags (kind of like little doggie doo bags). Cost about $2.50 and I think you got around 50 of them. I loved those things. They were easy to carry and smelled like baby powder.
@kamikazeken: You know, I'm there with you. She's a HS dropout (oh, don't worry, she got her GED rolls eyes), but at least she married the father? Which I'm predicting will last 1 or 2 years. It's a horrible and stupid situation, which is why I want to get her something useful so at least it is for the baby and not something fun for her. I thought about getting her a card saying "I didn't get you a gift since we'll be paying for this kid anyway". I apologize to taxpayers for my trashy cousin if she does end up collecting public assistance, but I didn't have a say in her choices.
@kophia: It smells SOOOO much better than Desitin, too!
@kamikazeken and @kristiwsu: I certainly agree that this is NOT the best situation, but once the baby is on the way and the decision to keep it has been made, supporting the mom's decision to keep the baby is the best thing for both of them and for society. I've certainly seen plenty of fails when it comes to "shotgun weddings" and teen moms (Lord I hate that show!), but I also have several friends who made the same decision and are still happily married to the baby-daddy after 30+ years. A few of these did finish college and all have gone on to some kind of career. In fact, one of my closest friends and her husband who had their first child at 17 now owns a thriving business and has raised three successful children. It seems to me that the difference between those whose marriages succeeded and those whose marriages failed has been that the successful moms DID pursue additional education and careers. Encourage your cousin to do this. Maybe it's a self-worth thing, but it works!
@belyndag: sorry, but "supporting the mother and her decision" is what's wrong with our society. Odds are 99.99% that this is a terrible decision!
By supporting bad decisions and the people who make them, we encourage more bad decisions by more people.
My belief is STUPID SHOULD HURT. Giving the child up for adoption would be a decision people should support. I myself was adopted 3 days after my birth to teen mother, and it was by far the best decision for BOTH of us. Sure it was hard, but doing the right thing is often very hard to do.
Anyway, she appears to have SOME sense, at least she's marrying the father. Although getting married at 17 isn't exactly a great option either.
In answer to the first question, give diapers and/or wipes. A parent can never have enough of either. If you want to get creative, make a "diaper cake"

If you don't know about Mumford & Sons, you're missing one of today's best new and exciting bands.
The UK lads are leading a folk revolution. The band's latest album, "Babel," is the new No. 1. No sophomore jinx, "Babel" debuted with the biggest opening week of the year, moving an impressive 600,000 CDs. beating Justin Bieber's "Believe" by almost 300,000.
This band's energy and lyricism are truly unmatched right now.
"Sigh No More," the band's debut, broke the mold of manufactured pop and set the tone for a string of fresh bands like Fun, The Avett Brothers, The Lumineers, Of Monsters And Men, and Foster The People, groups that embrace real musicianship.
On "Sigh No More," the tracks "Little Lion Man," "Roll Away Your Stone," "The Cave," and "Timshel" could not have been any better, in my opinion. They showcased the guys' talents and set the bar quite high for other bands and themselves.
Expectations were high for "Babel," but thankfully Marcus Mumford, Winston Marshall, Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett were ready for the challenge.
"Babel" is another folk-rock masterpiece.
I was so happy to get my copy and find out the band didn't forget who they were. They seemed to embrace the magic even more so on this record by managing to capture the energy of live shows, right in the studio. The sound feels richer without coming across polished.
"Babel" is what I like to call a "whole" album — meaning the entire album is meant to be heard end-to-end.
A lot of forethought went into the making of this record and the 12 songs that comprise it.
The title track is the perfect way to begin. It's intense, both musically and lyrically. Listening to it, you can almost envision the guys standing in a circle having an old-fashioned jam session, stomping their feet and wiping the sweat from their brows. This is what music is supposed to be like.
"Whispers In The Dark" and "I Will Wait" follow that same recipe for success. Their connection as musicians is most evident here. The energy is so magnificent that you can't help but feel like you're a part of the music, too. You're hooked the moment the banjo starts plucking, the piano keys jumping and the mandolin strings are humming.
Marcus Mumford is an amazing vocalist, too. He certainly doesn't disappoint when it comes to delivering lyrics that pack a punch while leaving you hanging on his every word. Case in point: On the song "Babel," he sings, "Press my nose up to the glass around your heart/I should've known I was weaker from the start." You can feel the conviction in his soul.
Page 2 of 2 - "Lovers' Eyes," "Broken Crown," "Not With Haste" and "Lover Of The Light" capture romance hidden within their hearts.
The deluxe version contains three additional tracks, including a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic "The Boxer." Jerry Douglas and Paul Simon team up with Mumford, which works well, but in all honesty it doesn't quite do it for me the way that Simon & Garfunkel's version can.

Impact of TNM Stage on Survival and Disease Control in Adjuvant Rectal Cancer Pooled Analysis
Heather Jones, MD
University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
Last Modified: November 4, 2001
Presenter: L.L. Gunderson
Affiliation: Institution: Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
This study attempts to evaluate the TMN staging and the MAC staging as predictors of outcome such as overall survival and patterns of failure for patients with rectal cancer who have undergone adjuvant therapy. The study evaluates patients from 3 randomized studies in North America.
Materials and
Author's Conclusions
Patients with only a single high-risk factor of either extension beyond the rectal wall or nodal involvement have improved OS, DFS and disease control when compared to those with both high risk factors. For the purposes of future trial design, it may be appropriate to perform separate studies for the "intermediate risk" subsets of T3N0 and T1-2N1 vs the "moderately high" or "high risk" subsets in view of differential survival and rates of relapse.
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This is a very interesting study that would seem to indicate that the TMN and MAC are not clear prognostic indicators of functional outcome as previously believed. Even more interesting is the independent prognostic factor of T stage in the Nodal groups. This study clearly demonstrates that there is a selective group of N2 patients with disease confined to the rectal wall that has better overall survival and disease- free survival than traditionally would be predicted.

As most people, I have an "Inbox". I believe in Inbox Zero and want to avoid having messages linger only to be read over and over again.
What subfolders do I need in order to work efficiently?
As most people, I have an "Inbox". I believe in Inbox Zero and want to avoid having messages linger only to be read over and over again.
What subfolders do I need in order to work efficiently?
What folders you need depends on your workflow.
I'd say the bare miminum would be:
I used to have innumerable folders. But ever since Gmail has exceptional search functionality and Microsoft Outlook 2010's search sucks less than it used to, I have fewer and fewer folders.
This is what I require for my workflow.
If you work by client or by project, then folders for each one will make it easier to find those emails later when there are questions. I also have a folder for any messages that tell me what a wonderful job I did. I use these to qualitify how often I have pleased the clients when I do my performance evaluation so I accumulate them through the year.
I also have one for Policies to so I can easily find any policies that were anonounced in an email. I may not care at the time that there is a new policy on maternity leave, but I might need to know this information later.
I get a lot of automated system messages, so I have a folder for failures (and a rule that sends them to this folder automatically). This makes it easier to filter out the most important messages in sea of hundreds of daily messages.
I also have a general folder for stuff I may have some reason to keep but don't think warrants a new folder.
My philosophy about inbox zero is that email is great for transferring information, but not storing it. Basically, there are three steps for every message you get.
1. Is is actionable?
2. Will I ever need this again?
Similarly, you might want to save messages for future reading if they make you happy. I've heard of people keeping copies of positive feedback they get through email, as a source of encouragement.
3. Immediately delete the email message you just processed.
So really, you only need two email folders.
The key is that you should have trusted systems outside your email client. Without those, you will inevitably see your email messages pile up, because they don't have a proper place to go.
Just your inbox and one other folder for holding emails until they are to be acted upon.
I recommend you use email as a source of tasks or reference material, not as a destination for either.
Although it can be used as a destination, you will either have to:
a) start creating emails for other tasks or reference materials that have not come from email, or
b) have multiple task management and reference systems.
I use Gmail for all my email accounts. If a reply to an email is to be deferred, I will move it to a 'folder' in Gmail I've called "Pending" (or more correctly, relabel it) to get it out of my inbox.
In my task management system (Evernote), I create a task and pop in the link to the email. When the task is done, I delete the email and the task. This could be tricky for other email clients.
I could alternatively email straight to Evernote and delete it from mail straight away, but keeping the message in email makes it easier to reply to. I will send the email straight to Evernote is it's purely for reference and doesn't need replying.
What folders you need depends a bit on your email client's capabilities, and how you want to work. Using Outlook 2010, this is what works for me:
Inbox: general purpose inbox, anything that comes in and isn't moved elsewhere by an automatic filter sits here until I handle it.
In-{list}: I have a bunch of subfolders under the inbox that are the destination folders for various mailing lists or other automatically sortable email. I have rules set up that recognize these emails as they come in, and move them to these folders without my doing anything else. Some of these folders automatically delete messages by age, so some mail comes in and goes out without my ever looking at it. That's perfectly OK for "SUCCESS" email from the build system, for example.
@Read: mail that's in my Inbox that will take longer to read than 2 minutes goes here, and a task on my task list to read the item. In Outlook 2010 you can set up "Quick Steps" and bind them to a keystroke, so I can do it very quickly.
@Reply: mail that I receive in the Inbox that I must reply to, but will take longer than 2 minutes. I have another Quick Step key binding set up for this action that also creates a "Reply to..." task for my task list.
Archive (by year): any mail that I have read and may want to refer to in the future goes here. I add categories (tags) as I move it, again with a Quick Step key binding, so it is easy to search in the archive to find what I'm looking for. I keep the annual archive in a separate PST file on a network drive that's backed up constantly, and start a new one each year. That keeps the size of the Outlook inbox and data file down to something that can be managed and searched easily, and keeps my IT people happy.
That's all. I typically spend 30-40 minutes a day processing email. There's additional time involved in actually reading and replying to the emails that need it, but my inbox is empty when I'm doing those actions.

Assessing Your Spending and Saving Habits
Two Spenders
In a household where both of you are spenders, you will still probably have some financial disagreements. Unless you have unlimited resources, you will also run out of money and run into trouble.
Lisa and Judd both found it very easy to spend money. When they were dating they would go out to fancy restaurants and run up big bills. They didn't think twice about going on vacation and staying in pricey hotels. When they got married, they had no money in the bank and thousands of dollars in credit card bills. For the first few years of their marriage, they continued their same spending pattern and rarely had any arguments about money.
Then they talked about having a family and realized they needed to get rid of their debt and start saving money. Neither of them knew how to change their spending habits. They started fighting about money for the first time in their relationship.
Marriage Q & A's
Q: My spouse and I tend to be spenders. What can we do?
A: Recognition is the first step! You have identified yourselves as spenders early on. Get financial advice, make a budget, and stick to it. Then you can prevent bankruptcy and constant arguments about money.
One time Lisa bought a new outfit and Judd chastised her for it. Then when Judd planned a romantic weekend, thinking it would make Lisa happy, she took it as his way of expressing his desire to put off having kids for a while! They were no closer to saving money than before, and now they weren't even enjoying themselves!
Read the following list to find out what can be expected in a two-spender household:
- Rather than constant squabbles, you will probably have big blow-ups when the monthly bills come in.
- When you need to start planning for the future, it will be hard to break your spending habits.
- You will probably owe money on credit cards.
- You might not have enough money in savings and investments.
- You might blame each other for your money problems.
Two Savers
In a household where both of you are careful about money, you might have trouble enjoying yourselves. You might both be spending a lot of energy thinking about the future and not enough focusing on the present.
Melanie and Greg were proud of themselves. They put away money every month into their savings account and their investment portfolio. Most months, they were even able to save more than they had planned. They never owed money on their credit cards. They both brought bag lunches to work and rarely ate out in restaurants. They were prepared for the future.
But Melanie and Greg had trouble really enjoying themselves. They talked about money constantly. Any time they went out together, they focused on how much it was costing and if it was "worth it." They found it difficult to relax and just have a good time being out. Melanie and Greg were suffering from being too cautious.
Marriage Q & A's
Q: Is the answer to money problems to be extremely cautious about spending money?
A: Not necessarily. Every couple needs to strike a healthy balance between spending and saving. Consider setting aside money every week for entertainment, even if it's a small amount.
Read the following list to find out what can be expected in a two-saver household:
- You won't have substantial credit card debt.
- You will likely have money in the bank.
- The two of you might be too focused on money.
- You might find it hard to spend even a reasonable amount of money on yourselves.
- You might be focusing too much of your attention on the future and not enough on the present.
Making Financial Decisions Together
Whether you and your spouse are both savers, both spenders, or one of each, both of you should be involved in the financial planning of your lives. If one of you were bringing in more income than the other one, it would be easy to feel that he or she should have more control in the decision-making about the budget or have more discretionary income. The person making less might feel less valuable and give up an equal voice in financial decisions. Money can mean power in your relationship.
Think Twice
Don't fall into the trap of assuming the person who makes more money should have more say in how it's spent. Don't forget that you are part of a team!
Thinking "This is yours, this is mine" can be devastating to a marriage. Although it's valuable for each person to have some of his or her own money, the basic thinking must be "This is ours." Money that either of you makes must contribute to the household, not to the individual. The person making less money might be taking time off to raise the children, starting a new business, or running the household. That partner's contribution, although maybe not financial, is equally critical to the happiness of your family. Making financial decisions together is the healthiest way to approach money.

Online Dating -
To start off, this isn't meant to be a thread that puts down online dating, but I thought that I would clarify the forum's stance on it.
Online Dating: What is it?
Online dating is commonly, among younger members, thought of as basically talking to a "boy/girl"(or other member) and calling them your boyfriend and girlfriend. There is no meeting involved, no phone calls, or any real physical contact. Normally these "relationships" consist of messaging or e-mailing each other.
The fact is, this is not online dating. This is having a penpal. You don't love each other simply because you exchanged an e-mail or two and share a liking for Panic! at the Disco.
Online dating, real online dating, is meeting through either a dating site or any other place online and conducting a relationship through phone, meetings, etc. In most cases, they were introduced through friends or a common interest and were friends before taking a step into a relationship.
Online Dating: Is it safe?
Under no circumstances is online dating safe if it goes beyond sharing e-mails or messaging each other. Most sites do not have the sources or even care to check whether or not their members are sexual predators(even though online dating sites are now required to do so for all members). For all you know, that person you just sent a message to is a 50 year old per'vert, hoping to entice you into meeting him so he can rape and kill you.
There have been cases where online relationships work and the person is who they say they are, but under no circumstances is this the norm. In most cases, these people have lied about certain aspects of themselves so as to make themselves more appealing to others or even, in some cases, do not exist. Some sites create fake profiles to entice people to join the site, so what keeps anyone else from doing the same?
To get my case across, here are some links to stories of girls who decided to meet their online "boyfriends/girlfriends":
Girl lured over internet is found
Internet Predator News Stories Archive - Chat nightmares that have made it to the news headlines in the past.
Man Accused Of Luring Mass. Teen To Charlotte Over The Internet - Charlotte News Story - WSOC Charlotte
You'll note that in just about every case, these girls were under the age of 18.
Online Dating: How do I keep safe if I want to date online?
First off, under no circumstances should anyone under the age of 18 be dating online. Its more commonly girls under the age of 18 who are duped into meeting a guy(or girl) that they met online and end up having a bad result. Girls, simply don't do it if you are under 18.
For anyone 18+, I have compiled a list of questions and answers for you in regards to this.
Q: How long should I wait before meeting someone?
A: Don't meet anyone enless you have known them for a long period of time(preferably a year or more) or a friend(who you know in real life) knows them in real life and introduced you online. If a friend introduced you, this basically guarantees that that are who they say they are. If you are just talking to them online, a year or more should give you time to get a full feel for this person and if there are any inconsistencies in who they say they are.
Q: I want to meet someone. Where and when should I do so?
A: If you plan on meeting someone, you should always meet them in a public place where there will be a lot of people in broad daylight. Meeting in private places or at nighttime can create a setting where he/she can easily lure you away(or take advantage of you if its secluded enough).
Q: How should I get to(or leave) the meeting place?
A: First off, under no circumstances let him/her pick you up or take a ride. There's no guarantee they'll take you where you want to go and, if they do, it provides them with the knowledge of where you or a friend lives. Instead, have a friend drop you off and pick you up at certain times. Don't change these times! If you drive yourself, remember to have your friend call in or to have a friend with you.
Q: I've set up a place, time, and obtained a ride. Is there anything else I should set up before going to this meeting?
A: First off, try to arrange for a friend or group of friends to come with you. If you can't, have them call in at regular intervals to make sure you are alright. If at any point in time he starts to get angry about this, have an escape plan set up. An easy one is to excuse yourself to the bathroom, then call your friend to let her know what is going on. Have her call you when you go back out so as to pretend an emergency is going on.
Q: Is there any other safety precautions I should take?
A: There are lots of things you should(or shouldn't) do, besides the ones listed above, while out on a date or meeting someone online. Some of them are:
-Do not let yourself be brought to any private setting or even the corner of a public place. It's easy to intimidate someone there to go somewhere else through physical and mental threats.
-Never leave food or drink unattended and always get your food/drink yourself or directly from the staff at an eatery/pub/club/etc. If you let him/her get it, they could easily slip a date rape drug into it without your knowledge. Most date rape drugs can't be smelled or tasted so you'd never know the difference.
-Tell everyone you can where you are going, at what time, and when you plan on returning. This way, they know if something went wrong and have an area to start looking for you.
Overall, if you feel you should do something to protect yourself, do it. Don't tell yourself you're overreacting because all you are doing is keeping yourself safe.
Q: What are some warning signs that this person isn't who they say they are?
A: If they insist on taking you home themselves, become overly interested in personal information(where you live, who you live with, phone number, birthday, etc etc), or start getting touchy feeling, GET OUT! Especially do so if you have a gut feeling that something is wrong or that you are uncomfortable because this means that there is something wrong. Find a way out as quickly as possible and make sure you aren't, while leaving, caught any place alone.
Q: I broke it off with someone after getting a funny feeling, but they still are contacting me. What should I do?
A: If they are contacting you online, block them from your messengers, e-mail, and discuss the problem with the support staff of whatever sites you go on together. Harassment is illegal, online or off, so the support staff on these sites will most likely ban him/her from using their site. if they are contacting you offline, through phone, letters, or even coming to your home or the homes of friends, GO TO THE POLICE! No one is better equipped to handle this situation than them. Don't think ignoring the person will cause the problem to go away because if they are determined, they will keep it up.
Online Dating: The Final Point
In most cases, online dating is not the solution to real life problems. Its less likely you'll find your Prince Charming at the age of 15 from an online site, so simply don't bother. Not only is online dating less likely to give a solution, but it is dangerous. Don't date online until you are over the age of 18 and mature enough to make intelligent decisions in regards to this.

Specs and Tester's Tester Comments
Go to Slide Show of Tested Tools
Whether it's into wood or your wallet, large sliding miter saws make the biggest cuts, so we tested them to help you invest wisely. The seven 12-inch, dual-compound sliding miter saws in this test are the best of each player in the field, and we couldn't resist throwing in a brand new, 10-1/4-inch saw with cutting capacity close to some larger saws.
Credit: Photo: dotfordot.com
For curiosity's sake, we tried out one of the smallest sliders we could find, and discovered the surprising capabilities of a 7-1/2-inch pro model.
We tested them all in our wood boat-building shop where we collected the opinions of 20 shop workers, who represent hundreds of years of woodworking experience, for this report.
Our crews used the saws to cut out parts for 28 wood boats, as well as a few other shop and furniture projects. This work required both tricky compound angles and 90-degree cutoff accuracy, giving the saws a balanced workout. We make our boat kits out of large dimensional lumber, so I appreciated the saws' ability to make big cuts. We regularly cut 4x4s both straight and with a 45-degree miter, and we also cut 2x10s with a 45-degree bevel, both straight and compounded with a 45-degree miter. All the saws except the 7-1/2-inch model we tried could handle 4x4s and could even cross-cut a 2x12, but only the 12-inch saws could fully cut 2x10s at a 45-degree miter. The two smaller saws left a little bit of wood connecting the farthest corner.
The 12-inch sliders have 15 amp motors, right and left bevel-angle capability, and all of the saws feature blade brakes. Capacity for these saws is measured by their miter-angle range, bevel-angle range, and how big a piece of wood they can cut. It's a contest that all the manufacturers are striving to win, and they've added a lot of capability through ingenious new designs.
Miter Range. Gone are the days of the simple 45- to 45-degree range. All of the saws pivot past 45 degrees in both directions, and most now hit 60 degrees in one direction. All of the 12-inch saws have detents at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, 45, and even 60 degrees if they go that far. The two smaller saws omit the 31.6-degree setting for cutting crown molding and use 30 degrees instead.
Bevel Range. All but the smallest saw are dual bevel models, so they tilt to at least 45 degrees left and right. A few go past that but only by a few degrees. All have detents or stops at 0 and 45 degrees, and some add 22.5 and 33.9 degrees.
Depth of Cut. There's a difference between a saw's rated capacity and the biggest piece of wood that will fit under it. For example, some blades have a clearance of 9 inches above the table, but a cutting capacity of less than half that. On some models, you can get a bigger cut than the listed specs by not pushing the head of the saw down all the way or by holding the guard open. But for safe, repetitive cutting, the listed capacities are pretty close. An exception is found when cutting tall, thin stock upright against a fence; most saws have a much greater vertical capacity than the specs show because you are using the blade above and behind the blade's central arbor height.
The Winner
I observed a lot of wood shop Darwinism during the test, as the guys gravitated to the latest saw set up in the shop, then migrated back to a few consistent favorites. This quantitative natural selection reinforced my top choices, based on all of the test results.
The top 12-inch sliding miter saws are the Bosch, Ridgid, and Makita--you couldn't go wrong with any of these--but after all the dust settled, Bosch was my overall choice. The Bosch has all of the handy features that I value, and is the easiest to adjust and use. I like the long fences, the slide-out table extensions, and especially the front bevel adjustment.
Ridgid and then Makita follow the leader, with great performance and features. Then there's the Festool. This 10-1/4-inch saw was universally admired, but a few of its unique features intimidated some users, who found them nonintuitive. Those who figured it out, however, found a great, full-featured--but pricey--saw.
The Hitachi and DeWalt were well used but gradually abandoned in favor of the top three. The Milwaukee and Craftsman were also put through their paces, but the lack of a laser on the Milwaukee and the Craftsman's rougher feel left them sitting alone much of the time. None of these saws should be kicked out of the shop, but I sure do appreciate the best saw after I use it. The follow-up order goes Milwaukee, DeWalt, Hitachi, and Craftsman.

What is NAMHPAC?
NAMHPAC provides support, policy development, knowledge products, and technical assistance to the nation's State-based mental health planning and advisory councils. NAMHPAC is a non-profit organization whose membership is nation-wide and includes members from each State and Territory mental health planning council.
What are State mental health planning & advisory councils?
In 1986, a Federal statute was passed that required U.S. States and Territories to conduct mental health planning as a condition for receiving Federal mental health block grant funds. The state also required that various stakeholder groups - including consumers of mental health services, parents of children receiving services, and family members - be included in the planning group.

I have an apple tree that I've never fertilized, and has never been fertilized to my knowledge. Over the last 3-4 years the apples have been getting smaller and punier and pretty tiny last year. It was trimmed by a pro this last spring and a lot got whacked off (about 12-16 feet).
I have a feeling I should fertilize it... If I should, what should I use?
Don't laugh (too hard) but I don't have a clue to what kind it is, other than it's a "green apple tree."

Eighteen-year-old Tyson Miller is the man police say showed an extreme indifference to human life.
Kentucky State Police were conducting a routine Traffic Safety Checkpoint here at the intersection of US 31W and Kentucky 240.
KSP Trooper Nick Stephens says, "When the vehicle, they of course stopped the vehicle to check it and see what was in it. They found contraband, which was marijuana, and they smelled marijuana being smoked in the vehicle."
Police say that's when Miller and his passenger 18-year-old Dominic Patterson stepped out of the vehicle for a sobriety checkpoint. Miller lunged back into the car.
Stephens says, "When the two troopers tried to physically keep them from getting in the vehicle they couldn't get them out so they were hanging on the sides of the vehicle."
Miller dragged Troopers Matt Davis and John Williams up US 31W. Davis' foot was run over and Williams was injured as well.
Stephens says, "The notary public could be in danger, our officers and the people involved in the pursuit itself. So we take every precaution to make sure everyone is safe."
The pursuit lasted about eight miles with speeds of roughly 100 miles per hour. This is where officers laid down spike strips. They're designed to blow out a suspect's tires, and they did just that.
At that point Miller took off running. He was caught, and is now lodged in Warren County Regional Jail.
Stephens says, "You could put yourself in danger of getting hurt, someone else could get hurt. You could be compounding charges against. You could be putting the police in jeopardy. So the best thing to do if you're stopped by police is to do what the police ask you."

EDIT: I have now been made aware that the targeted attacking of Israeli websites on April 7 has already begun. Therefore, there is increased suspicion of a compromised server. I could find more information about the attack if necessary, though I don't see much mention of it in widespread English-language news websites.
Clarification: I'm asking how to ensure that what I've already downloaded and installed is not compromised. I am not asking how Canonical ensures the security of repos.
