To the Editor:—
A pertinent incident was not mentioned in the editorial about Sir Frederick Banting and the discovery of insulin (198: 660, 1966). In October 1920, Sir Frederick read Dr. Moses Barron's paper describing a fibrotic pancreas wherein the acinar enzyme-secreting cells had disappeared, but the islet cells were intact. That paper, with its references to previous experiments in animals in which almost identical pathologic changes ensued after ligation of the pancreatic duct, incited Banting and Best's experiments in 1921. Details of the event were described in Minnesota Medicine (49:689, 861, 1966) by Dr. Barron, who received the Banting Award from the American Diabetes Association in 1964.

Gwen Stefani in DSquared2 Boyfriend Jeans
Gwen Stefani got followed by the paparazzi as she made her way to an acupuncture session in Los Angeles, California last week.
Gwen wore her DSquared2 Boyfriend jeans, pairing them with pink heels and a black leather vest this time. I think she manages to look amazing in everything she wears, especially since she has a quirky style. It usually just works. Do you love Gwen's style too?

Gwen Stefani in Paige Sierra Overalls in Gramercy
Photographed while heading into a doctor's appointment, Gwen Stefani looked chic in a pair of Paige Sierra Overalls in Gramercy. This is the second time we've seen her out in a pair of overalls from Paige, as earlier we saw her in a pair of the Sierra's in Black.
I do love that Gwen has given this trend her own take by wearing them with the bib hanging around her waist. I also like that she's swapped out the flats for a pair of L.A.M.B. Deon Strappy Heels, giving this outfit a dressier look. She also wore a L.A.M.B. Dye 2 Match Sleeveless Sweater in White/Oyster and the brands Dixy Bag in Black Suede. Which of her two outfits do you prefer? Buy these overalls online at PaigeUSA.com.
Gwen Stefani in Paige Sierra Overalls in Vintage Black
Gwen Stefani was all smiles as she ran some errands in Los Angeles, California. The new judge for The Voice wore the Paige Sierra Overalls in Vintage Black with a sweater and a pair of yellow loafers.
I am not surprised to see Gwen wear these overalls as she is a huge fan of Paige and because there hasn't been a style of denim that she didn't love. I am interested in seeing how she would dress these up. You can click here to purchase these overalls from the Paige website for $279.
Gwen Stefani in Work Custom Boyfriend Jeans in Dark Rivera
Gwen Stefani got snapped while leaving Planet Nails in Los Angeles, California late last month. We don't get as many sightings of her anymore unfortunately, which is a shame as I love her style!
Gwen wore a pair of Work Custom Boyfriend Jeans in Dark Rivera with a camo print shirt, strappy heels and a camo beanie. This is quite an odd combination and one that I wouldn't personally put together, but as always, Gwen manages to make it work! I think that shirt would look amazing with black skinny jeans too!

Kerrigan insists he would've won state hoops title — if not for two NBA lottery picks
Kerrigan insists he would've won state hoops title — if not for two NBA lottery picks
Watch the full segment in the video player above
Ryan Kerrigan's 47.5 career sacks and 17 career forced fumbles are evidence that becoming an NFL player was the right career path for him to take. But football wasn't the only sport he played back as a high schooler in Muncie, Indiana.
"Baseball, I was a baseball player," Kerrigan said when Redskins Insider J.P. Finlay asked him what his secondary endeavors were as a teenager. "I was on the basketball team, [but] I wouldn't really call myself a 'player' 'cause that would've required me getting off the bench," he added.
While it sounds like the Bearcats' bench was plenty warm thanks to the now 27-year-old, Kerrigan did get the chance to be a part of a marquee matchup against some other soon-to-be-famous guys.
"My high school team was really good," he said. "State runner-up twice, and would've been state champs, I'd imagine, if we didn't run into Greg Oden and Mike Conley."
Oden and Conley, of course, both turned into stars on a 2007 Ohio State outfit that lost to Florida in the NCAA title game that year (which must've felt like justice being served to Kerrigan). They then went on to be lottery picks in the 2007 NBA Draft, and Conley just recently became the league's highest-paid man. So you could imagine how much of a handful they were in high school.
Some quick research reveals that Lawrence North (the squad that featured the two Buckeyes) topped Muncie Central (Kerrigan's side) in 2005 and 2006. No. 91 didn't specify which one of those championship bouts he was referring to, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that his legs didn't get too sore from sitting on the pine, and he eventually ended up with the Redskins.

Redskins' Josh Doctson not sure when he will return, won't rush Achilles injury
Redskins' Josh Doctson not sure when he will return, won't rush Achilles injury
RICHMOND - After starting training camp on the PUP list, Redskins rookie WR Josh Doctson does not know when he will return to the field, but knows he won't rush back from his Achilles injury. Doctson spoke following the Redskins afternoon practice, and voiced an odd mix of reasons to be optimistic and worried for Washington fans.
First the positive:
"Today was my first day rehabbing it," Doctson said. "Definitely further along than I what thought I was going to be. That's definitely a good sign to get back faster."
Then the worrisome:
"I got to wait till morning and see how it feels," Doctson said. "You never know in the morning."
The TCU wideout could not provide a timeline for his return, and balked at the chance to provide a percentage to describe his health. What Doctson was clear on, however, was he will not rush back from the injury despite his desire to be practicing.
"Everybody wants to play football," he said. "You can't rush it. I rushed it in OTAs and did what I did. I'm just going to be patient this time and make sure I'm 100 percent before I touch the field again."
Redskins coach Jay Gruden echoed Doctson's comments, saying that the team doesn't want the rookie on the field until he is 100 percent. And, while training camp is certainly important, if Doctson is to miss time, better in July than in September.
Scot McCloughan drafted the 6-foot-3, 195 lbs. Doctson for his explosive atheltic ability, so it makes sense that the organization in no way wants to risk serious injury. Gruden talked about the siginifcance an Achilles injury could bring, especially for an athlete like Doctson, as reason for extreme caution.
For his part, the rookie is keeping a level head despite his frustrations at not practicing.
"I'm blessed to be here, regardless of the situation. I made it."

Redskins' RT Moses is taking nothing for granted
Redskins' RT Moses is taking nothing for granted
RICHMOND—A year ago Morgan Moses came to training camp here with many questions about his future. He had missed the entire offseason program after suffering a Lisfranc injury the previous season. The team had just drafted Brandon Scherff with the fifth overall pick and he was put in at right tackle. Trent Williams had the left side locked down. It looked like he might wait a while for his turn.
But things have a way of changing quickly in the NFL. A week into camp the Redskins switched things up, moving Scherff to right guard and inserting Moses into the starting job in Scherff's former job. Moses started all 17 games and earned high marks for his performance.
This year he comes to camp atop the depth chart and with all of the first-team reps during OTAs and minicamp under his belt. That is helping him feel more comfortable in his role.
"Being able to get the OTAs in that I didn't get the year before just helped me transition," Moses said today. "I'm still learning, I'm still a young player but you can only take one day at a time."
Although Moses doesn't appear to have any serious challengers for his starting job he said that he is taking nothing for granted.
"You can never get complacent," he said. "That's the thing about the NFL. You see faces one day and they're gone the next day. You still fight for your position."
Assuming Moses does hold on to his job, the next thing he will be fighting for is a new contract. He will be eligible to get a contract extension after the regular season ends. The Redskins have shown a pattern of locking up their best young players before they hit free agency and Moses certainly will be a candidate if he plays well.

* Fed announces $45 bln a month of Treasury buying * Fed adopts numerical thresholds for policy * 30-year bonds underperform, yields at month-high By Karen Brettell and Luciana Lopez NEW YORK, Dec 12 Treasuries prices fell on Wednesday, with 30-year bonds falling particularly sharply, after the Federal Reserve's announced a new bond-buying program that shifts more of its purchases to the five-year sector. The new easing program fueled expectations of a boost to the economy that will help riskier assets such as stocks. The Federal Reserve committed to monthly purchases of $45 billion in Treasuries on top of the $40 billion per month in mortgage-backed bonds it started buying in September. It will expand purchases to five-year notes from the current seven-, 10- and 30-year Treasuries. "They are buying less in seven-years through bonds, and buying some of the five-years, which they weren't doing before. People also think that when the Fed does QE that the economy is going to get better, so it's a steeper yield curve," said Ira Jersey, an interest rate strategist at Credit Suisse in New York. Under its Operation Twist program, the Fed has been selling shorter-dated Treasuries and using the proceeds to buy longer-dated debt. The program is set to expire at the end of December, and analysts say the Fed has little to no shorter-dated debt to sell. Thirty-year bonds dropped 1-06/32 in price to yield 2.901 percent, up from 2.84 percent late on Tuesday. The yield gap between five-year notes and 30-year bonds also expanded to 225 basis points from 221 late on Tuesday to the widest since October. The new purchases will extend the average duration of the bonds the Fed holds on its balance sheet, though that is likely to fall back as many of those bonds are repaid. "The new purchases will have an average duration of nine years, which is longer than the average eight years of the bonds that the Fed currently holds," said Michael Schumacher, head of global rates strategy at UBS in Stamford, Connecticut. "Over the coming year, as bonds the Fed holds roll down, the duration is likely to fall back to below eight years," he said. The Fed also took the unprecedented step of saying it would keep interest rates near zero until the jobless rate falls to 6.5 percent, well below its current level, so long as inflation and inflation expectations were contained. The shift to economic thresholds surprised some investors and increased the possibility that rates could increase from near zero before the previous guidance of mid-2015. "The bigger surprise for the bond market was the forward guidance, which changed from a calendar-based one to one based on economic thresholds," said Mike Lorizio, head of Treasuries trading at Manulife Asset Management in Boston. "Many in the market had thought this was a Q1 event, but with the fiscal cliff, they might have decided it was better to do it now," he said. Five-year notes fell 03/32 in price to yield 0.654 percent, from around 0.636 percent late on Tuesday. Benchmark 10-year notes dropped 14/32 to yield 1.704 percent. Treasuries had edged slightly higher earlier on Wednesday following strong demand for an auction of $21 billion of 10-year notes. The notes sold at a high yield of 1.65 percent, around 2 basis points lower than where the notes were trading before the sale. The Treasury on Thursday will sell $13 billion of 30-year bonds, and next week it will auction two-, five- and seven-year notes along with five-year Treasury inflation-protected securities. The Treasury on Tuesday sold $32 billion of three-year notes.

CNI 200 – The Live Recording!
Posted on May 30th, 2009 by Joe Gonzalez
It's our big Bicentennial and we're doing it all up! Recorded live in front of an audience at Latitude Bar & Grill here in NYC. Special guests galore including Michael Emerson ("Ben Linus" from Lost), John Cassaday, Vito Del Sante, Kevin Colden, Miss Lasko-Gross and more! We do the news and reviews and some hilarious sketches to boot. There's a musical bit, some radio theater and you have to hear Michael Emerson read movie quotes! Cassaday also gives an exclusive announcement about the final issue of Planetary! Special thanks to Heidi MacDonald from The Beat and Mike from Astro-Zombies comic shop for their kind donations of door prizes. And hey...we also did a video (probably the first and last time) of this so you can finally see our antics for yourselves!

Suda51 announces Sine Mora for PSN and XBLA
Famed game director Suda51 has announced a new PSN and XBLA title called Sine Mora, which is due for release in Q3 2011.
The game's being developed Grasshopper Manufacture in conjunction with Digital Reality.
Sine Mora, which is one of many titles in the works by the two companies, is a horizontal shoot 'em up which will support stereoscopic 3D, though that's all we know at the moment.
Suda may have some time on his hands to make a new game since he said a few months back that No More Heroes 2 was the last in the series.
Only time will tell if he's using that time wisely.
Thanks, Push Square.

Recurring Role
Trivia: Conchobar's brother, Edward, is a wanted man back in Ireland where he was involved in a car bombing attack in Belfast.
Trivia: Sara has a security code that grants her access to the CIA secure site.
Trivia: Orlinski's a crooked cop. So's Dante. Orlinski takes a payoff from a local pimp. When Sara witnesses the incident and blackmails Orlinski, Orlinski reports the incident to Dante, who's in on the scheme.
Trivia: It is strongly implied that Kenneth Irons can sense, as well as enjoy vicariously when Sara has sex through his scar from the Witchblade.
Trivia: When Irons informs Ian that the Witchblade's off Sara's wrist, Ian asks if the 'Blade was testing her or if it's the Periculum. The nature of the Periculum will become clear in the next episode.
Trivia: After the Irish shoot-out, Ian takes the Witchblade from Fiona and puts it back on Sara, defying Irons' order to return the blade back to him. Ian lies to Irons when he returns without the 'Blade, telling Irons that the Witchblade wouldn't come off of Sara.
Lazar Sighting:
Lazar was putting chairs up on tables at the restaurant Jake and Dante were in.
Orlinsky: (after Sara says she saw him take a pay-off from a pimp) You bitch!
Sara: (pulling out a roll of film, implying she has pictures of the pay-off) You know what, I don't know if this should go to Internal Affairs or your wife. Hey Orlinsky, maybe you know where I can get those double prints for one buck deal, huh? Bitch!
Irons: (when Sara asks him for help) I offered you the world, once. Travel, refinement, education, companionship- you refused me.
Sara: I'll accept now if that's what you want.
Irons: No, Sara. That's not what I want. What I want is the pleasure of rejecting you as you once rejected me.
Irons: That little Irish whore is an utter pretender.
Ian: I agree. So evidently did the Witchblade. It was back on lady Sara's wrist by the time I got there. Even when she was unconscious, it would not come off.
Irons: You should have cut off her hand.
Sean: So it's true what they say about American girls- you just keep coming back for more. Now what makes you think I don't just take the money and the lad?
Sara: 'Cause none of you wants to leave here as collateral damage.
Irons: You were warned that the Witchblade abandons its wielder during her darkest hour. Your need must've been very dire.
Sara: Why else would I be here?
Irons: Perhaps the 'Blade was jealous of your... recent involvements.
Sara: How can a hunk of metal and stone be jealous?
Irons: Or perhaps you're merely a courier for the 'Blade sent to deliver to its true bearer.
Fiona: Spectacular move. Where have I seen that before?
Sara: In your nightmares?
Fiona: Nice bracelet.
Sara: One of a kind.
Danny: You are losing yourself.
Sara: No. My self has been lost for sometime now. You're just getting around to noticing.
Danny: You can't fight the devil with the devil's tools, Pez.
Conchobar: I'm a musician. You want quiet? Kidnap a mime.
Conchobar: (as they kiss) Quit the force, Sara.
Sara: Become a degenerate like you?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A state panel is set to interview
eight applicants for a fourth Florida Supreme Court vacancy in less
than a year.
They will appear Friday before the Supreme Court Judicial
Nominating Commission. Gov. Charlie Crist has urged the commission
to send him a diverse slate. The applicants include two black men
and three white women but no Hispanics.
The panel must nominate at least three but no more than six.
They are vying to replace Justice Charles Wells who retires in
March. The vacancy must be filled from the 5th appellate district,
which includes Orlando, Daytona Beach and Melbourne.
It gives Crist an unprecedented opportunity to appoint a
majority of the seven-member high court in his first term.

Infinityglass (Hardcover)
No time like the present.
No time in the present.
No time left.
From the moment the Hourglass group violated the rules of the space time continuum to rescue a murdered loved one, time has been in flux. People from other centuries slide into our time, intruding into our space, threatening our world.
Frantically seeking a way to turn back this tide, the Hourglass begins a search for the legendary Infinityglass, tracking it to the city of New Orleans, a place where the past rests easily with the present.
Quiet, reliable Dune, the group's favorite geek, is selected to travel to the Crescent City and somehow retrieve the renowned object.
But there's a problem.
Because the Infinityglass is not an object, it's a person.
A beautiful, headstrong dancer named Hallie, a girl so enticing Dune can't take his eyes off her.
And time is not on her side.

I have a site whose home page shows a single WordPress category page. I'm using a custom theme and the index.php file there does a 301 redirect to "mysitename.com/?cat=3". This page is generated with the-events-calendar plugin and some custom code. It works, but the displayed URL is "mysitename.com/?cat=3" which I'd prefer my visitors not see; I'd rather have the URL be just "mysitename.com", "mysitename.com/index.php", or even "mysitename.com/calendar".
The visitor can view "prev month" and "next month", which result in URLs like "mysitename.com?cat=3&eventDate=2010-07&bt=a" -- still within the same category but with additional parameters in the URL. (I am OK having a more convoluted URL like this shown to my visitors on previous/next month; it's just the initial page URL I'd like to be nicer.)
I've messed around with the permalinks but can't get nice URLs to work correctly that way. Is there an .htaccess way to do this?

In all my work centered around friendship, the discussion often focuses on avoiding pitfalls, handling dilemmas, fixing damaged relationships, and getting over a split. These are all extremely important parts of the story. But sometimes, the issue is not one of getting past a bad friendship, but strengthening a good one. Do you have solid friendships with people you'd love to spend more time with? Following are six ways to make it happen:

We will see soon enough.
Time for the apple BOD and CEO to put up or shut up. Either way they are gonna hear it from us. Underperformng the broader market while being the best of breed should be no excuse. Time to fire some dead weight if we dont hear anything.
will this event be broadcast, and when is this scheduled?
Like it or not, AAPL will be forced to dig into that mattress.
"don't bet against us"
Outsiders are listening....BOD will be pushed into action.
I expect one or both. They're shareholders too and would like to boost us off these lows. IMHO

Filets Mignons with Shallots
Shallots look like bronze-colored heads of garlic, but their taste is closer to that of another cousin, the onion-although more delicate and subtle. Choose shallots that are firm, with no green sprouts. Store them like onions, in a cool, dry place. Prepare them like garlic by crushing a clove lightly with the flat side of a knife to peel it, and chop, slice or mince as the recipe specifies.

Deshaun Watson and Dalvin Cook, who each received first-place Heisman votes in 2015, were not unanimous preseason All-ACC picks. Going into the season they are clearly the favorites for the conference's player of the year. Maybe there will be an ACC QB and two RBs better than those two, but it's hard to justify leaving them off preseason ballots.

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher's offense is considered one of the more complex, and he gave us a taste Tuesday.

Here's what Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany told me about his future with the league. "My contract is through 2020," Delany said. "A contract is a contract. Retirement is when someone wants to go. I expect to work through my contract. I'm healthy and I enjoy doing what I do. Anything beyond that, I don't know." Responding to the USA Today report that he will retire in 2020, Delany, 68, said it's a "fair inference" but he could also step down before 2020 and doesn't know how he'll feel when the contract expires. He's still healthy and energetic and wants to focus on providing opportunities for student-athletes.

Once upon a time, I had an idea to create this all-inclusive pagination service that would abstract the common logic used when interacting with a server-side paginated result set via an AngularJS application. A few whiteboarding sessions with a co-worker led to some informal specifications, and shortly thereafter, a well-documented
apiPaginationService was born.
At a high level, dependent components would register a pagination instance, specifying any number of configuration options. The service would fetch and cache the relevant page of data, internally keeping track of relevant meta information necessary to interact with the paginated result set. A handful of utility methods were exposed, enabling the interaction with a custom UI Bootstrap-wrapped directive. Additional methods attempted to minimize the need to re-fetch data from the server when adding, updating or deleting items from an ordered set. And if that was not enough, scrollable lazy loading and multi-instance pagination were both fully supported.
The service was initially ambitious, and it quickly became unwieldy. The 500+ lines of untested code were simply trying to do too much. I used the service in a handful of contexts, but it was clear that it was not a maintainable solution. Drawing from these missteps, I recently approached this problem from an alternative perspective, abstracting the minimum amount of shared logic into an extremely light utility service. This solution is described below.
Fetch & Store Data
There were a few major complications with the first approach to this problem related to fetching and storing data.
First, a ton of time was spent attempting to minimize the need to re-fetch data from the server. For example, when deleting an item from the last page of a paginated set, the service would simply splice the relevant item from the array. Similarly, adding an item to a paginated set sorted by descending creation date would unshift the item onto the beginning of the array. Looking back on it, this caching "obsession" was entirely unnecessary; the favorable contexts were extremely specific, and the performance benefits were probably unnoticeable. Not to mention, it increased the risk of users interacting with stale data.
Second, the data was stored in the pagination service itself. This proved to be especially problematic when multiple instances of pagination were registered at the same time; the service had to keep track of multiple states, periodically purging irrelevant cached data. In most cases, pagination would exist in separate features entirely, and the need to maintain multiple states was unnecessary.
As you can probably guess, the new utility service does not cache data, nor does it centrally store any data. Instead, it implements a simple method that returns the necessary metadata to interact with the paginated set. This object is stored in a dependent service immediately after data is fetched from the server.
To illustrate what this looks like, let's assume we have a state that fetches a paginated set of data before it resolves. The module configuration block would look something like this:
$stateProvider.state('app.feature', { controller: 'FeatureListCtrl', controllerAs: 'featureList', resolve: { featureListResolve: function($stateParams, featureApiService) { return featureApiService.fetchList({ page: $stateParams.page }); } }, templateUrl: 'feature-list.html', url: '/feature?page' });
The page of the paginated set is determined by a
page state parameter which is passed to a method in the
featureApiService. Any time the
page state parameter changes, the state will reinitialize, and the relevant page of data will be fetched.
In practice, the resolve dependency will probably interact with a feature service. Regardless, the pagination metadata must be stored in the API service, which has access to the full
$http response object. A feature service is omitted for simplicity.
For the purposes of this example, assume that the API enables the client to specify
page and
per_page query string parameters. The
featureApiService would then look something like this:
function FeatureApiService($http, paginationUtilityService) { var self = this; var _pagination; self.fetchList = fetchList; self.getPagination = getPagination; function fetchList(queryString) { if (angular.isUndefined(queryString)) { queryString = {}; } if (!queryString.page) { queryString.page = 1; } if (!queryString.per_page) { queryString.per_page = 15; } $http.get('/feature', { params: queryString }).then(function(result) { _pagination = paginationUtilityService.store(result, queryString); return result.data; }); } function getPagination() { return _pagination; } }
fetchList takes a query string object passed to a
/feature endpoint. The method then resolves with the fetched data after storing the relevant pagination metadata in a private variable, exposed via the public
getPagination method.
Assuming that the response of the paginated endpoint contains a
x-pagination-total-items header field that specifies the number of total items in the paginated set, the
paginationUtilityService.store method would look like this:
function store(response, queryString) { if (angular.isUndefined(queryString)) { queryString = {}; } return { page: queryString.page || 1, perPage: queryString.per_page || 15, totalItems: Number(response.headers()['x-pagination-total-items']) }; }
response is the
$http response object and
queryString is the same query string object passed to the paginated endpoint.
Expose Pagination Interface Control
Now that the relevant data has been fetched, we need to enable the user to interact with the paginated set. There is no sense in re-inventing the wheel; for simplicity, it makes sense to leverage UI Bootstrap's
pagination directive. In an effort to abstract shared logic, I have found it beneficial to wrap this third-party component in a custom directive that interacts with the pagination metadata defined above.
First, the
FeatureListCtrl must expose the relevant data on scope:
function FeatureListCtrl(featureApiService, featureListResolve) { var self = this; self.featurePagination = featureApiService.getPagination(); self.features = featureListResolve; }
Then, the
featurePagination metadata object can be passed to the custom directive. The latter component looks something like this:
function ApiPaginatorDirective($state) { return { controller: ApiPaginatorDirectiveCtrl, controllerAs: 'apiPaginator', replace: true, restrict: 'E', scope: { data: '=' }, templateUrl: 'apiPaginator.html', }; function ApiPaginatorDirectiveCtrl($scope) { var self = this; self.hasSubsequentPage = hasSubsequentPage; self.pageChangeHandler = pageChangeHandler; function hasSubsequentPage() { return $scope.data.totalItems > $scope.data.perPage; } function pageChangeHandler() { return $state.go('.', { page: $scope.data.page }); } } }
data is a reference to the pagination metadata object, and the directive's template is as follows:
<div> <pagination items-per-page="data.perPage" ng-change="apiPaginator.pageChangeHandler()" ng-model="data.page" max-size="5" next-text="Next" ng-if="apiPaginator.hasSubsequentPage()" previous-text="Prev" total-items="data.totalItems"> </pagination> </div>
Note that older versions of this UI Bootstrap directive use
page and
onSelectPage parameters in place of
ngModel and
ngChange respectively.
The pagination control is only visible when there is more than one page, and changing the page simply transitions to the current state with the specified
page state parameter value.
Modifying the Paginated Set
Earlier, I mentioned that the previous pagination approach went through leaps and bounds to optimize performance when adding, updating or deleting items in the paginated set. This client-side logic can get extremely complex; thus, I have found it is best to keep this behavior as simple as possible. As a general rule of thumb, simply reloading the current state will suffice:
$state.go('.', null, { reload: true })
When an item has a separate state outside the context of the paginated list (i.e. clicking on an item transitions to a view devoted solely to that item), creating or updating an item obviously does not need to affect data that is no longer visible. When the user subsequently views the list, it will be refetched from the server without any complex client-side intervention.
On the other hand, inline editing is certainly more involved given that the paginated set is always visible. Reloading the current state is still a valid option; however, depending on the sort, this could potentially lead to confusing interactions. For example, when sorting by an editable property, modification could move the item onto a different page of the paginated set. This abrupt disappearance could be confusing, and it could be really difficult to figure out which page the item moved to.
The solution largely depends on preference and context, but in the past, I have found it acceptable to simply do nothing after saving an inline edit. In this respect, the item does not move, and any inconsistencies caused by the modification are resolved when the user transitions to another page or revisits the paginated list.
Not surprisingly, deleting an item from the paginated set should also result in reloading the current state. However, there is one edge case worth mentioning that can be addressed: When a user deletes the last item on a page, the paginated set should ideally transition to the previous page if it exists. This logic can easily be abstracted and is illustrated below.
After deleting the specified item, the controller should call a utility method with the pagination metadata. In the context of the
FeatureListCtrl defined above, this would look something like this:
function deleteFeature(featureId) { return featureApiService.remove(featureId).then(function() { return paginationUtilityService.reloadAfterDeletion(self.featurePagination); }); }
paginationUtilityService.reoloadAfterDeletion method would then be implemented as follows:
function reloadAfterDeletion(pagination) { var page = pagination.page; // If there are no more items on the current page, go to previous page if (--pagination.totalItems <= pagination.perPage * (page - 1)) { page--; } if (page <= 1) { page = null; } return $state.go($state.current, { page: page }, { reload: true }); }

NEW YORK (AP) — Twenty-six big U.S. companies paid their CEOs more last year than they paid the federal government in tax, according to a study released Thursday by a liberal-leaning think tank.
The study, by the Institute for Policy Studies, said the companies, including AT&T, Boeing and Citigroup, paid their CEOs an average of $20.4 million last year while paying little or no federal tax on ample profits, according to regulatory filings.

The coaches have been selected for next year's St. Elmo/Brownstown co-op.
For high school sports hosted at St. Elmo, the coaches are:
•Varsity basketball: Greg Feezel
•JV basketball: Vince Rohr
•F/S basketball: Ryan Beccue
•Varsity volleyball: Elise Asher
•JV volleyball: Toby Harms
•F/S volleyball: Jeni Haslett
•Varsity softball: Megan Burrus
•JV softball: Dana Pasley
•Cheerleading: Deb Hunter
Due to the weather, several sporting events have been canceled for Tuesday.
The Vandalia softball game against Effingham has been canceled, as has the track meet in Litchfield, which the Vandalia boys and girls teams were traveling to.
The South Central softball game at Odin has been canceled.
St. Elmo baseball at Altamont and Patoka baseball against Christ Our Rock Lutheran have been canceled.
Mulberry Grove senior Becca Oldham had little trouble getting back into the high school game.
In her first game back after missing all of last season due to injury, Oldham fired a perfect game for the Lady Aces on Thursday in a 31-0 drubbing of Sandoval.
More information on this game will be available in the March 21 edition of The Leader-Union.
The South Central softball game scheduled at Altamont for Thursday has been canceled due to poor field conditions. No makeup date has been set at this time.
VANDALIA – Ever since the building was constructed in the 2000s, many opposing teams have been envious of Vandalia High School's indoor hitting shed.
Constructed with money raised by the Sports Boosters, the metal building between the high school baseball and softball fields has allowed many players an opportunity to face live pitching during the offseason or when the spring weather doesn't allow players to be outside.
But despite its many benefits, the building still needed some improvements.
Enter the Field of Dreams committee.
VANDALIA – Any general baseball fan who is interested in seeing high school players hit a lot of home runs probably will want to find games other than Vandalia's.
But just because the Vandals won't be a power-hitting team in 2013, it doesn't mean that coach Luke Hohlt's team won't be scoring runs.
Returning just one home run – from senior Michael Wells – Vandalia will rely heavily on speed, bunting and good contact-hitting to produce runs this season.
VANDALIA – Megan Godoyo didn't throw a pitch for the Lady Vandals during her sophomore season.
And when she injured her knee in the middle of January, it looked like her junior season would be in jeopardy, too.
Godoyo will miss part of the season, but she is expected to return to the Lady Vandals in the middle of April.
"Megan is projected to come back in about a month or so, if everything goes well," coach Brian Buscher said last Friday. "She'll be back before the end of the season for sure."
TEUTOPOLIS – Geri Reuss was doing good with keeping her emotions under control after losing the final volleyball game of her coaching career.
But when her team emerged from the locker room to thank her for all she had done for them, she couldn't quite hold back all the tears.
Reuss called it a career after nearly 30 years of coaching last Thursday after the Vandalia eighth-grade volleyball team couldn't get past Cumberland in a 24-26, 18-25 loss in the finals of the Teutopolis Regional.
The Vandalia boys basketball team held its banquet last Thursday, and coach Brian Buscher handed out several awards.
The Vandalia wrestling team held its banquet on Tuesday, and coach Jason Clay handed out several awards.

The authentication procedure in session initiation protocol (SIP) typically uses HTTP digest authentication, which is vulnerable to many forms of known attacks. This paper proposes a new secure authentication and key agreement mechanism based on certificateless public-key cryptography(SAKA) between two previously unknown parties, which provides stronger security assurances for SIP authentication and media stream, and it is provably secure in the CK security model. Due to using certificateless public key cryptography, SAKA effectively avoids the requirement of a large Public Key Infrastructure and conquers the key escrow problem in previous schemes.

This should be essential viewing for anybody who thinks they might be interviewed by FOX News. Ironically, it was FOX's own favorite president ever, G.W. Bush, who truly perfected this "pretend to answer questions from reporters while really only talking about what you want to talk about" method. But these guys have taken it to a whole new level.
These guys are complete fucking geniuses. "That's not a hair question!" Geniuses.
This totally made my day, and I may only say that phrase once a year.
This is the most brilliant marketing campaign ever. It tells a story about Aqua Teen's relationship to the state, the media, and it's audience. They are geniuses.
Have you seen that show? It's frickin' fantastic. It's a cartoon about a meatball, a soda pop and some french fries who all have superpowers and steal from their white trash neighbor. One is a black marxist, one is a stupid, cracker, greedy, capitalist, and the other is a gay passivist-socialist. They hide out on Cartoon Network where no one will notice their political agenda.
that's good stuff. i love the be "ALERT" flashing light. boston PD must feel ridiculous.
I live/work in Boston about 2 miles away from the main incident in question. This whole thing is both a laugh and embarrassment.
Boston cops can barely keep drunk college kids from rioting after Patriot's games or gang members from killing each other in Roxbury and Dorchester, but they sure can repond in FORCE to a few ILBD's (Improvised Lite Brite Devices).
The press conference is funny, but so is this: http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2007/02/01/1170353048_7706.jpg
What a wonderful test of the Boston Emergency system. Seriously, Boston has something to be proud of.
it is like watching an episonde of ATHF...only it is MORE absurd.
ps to boston: you guys are so fucked if this is the way your police force responds. (didnt they check with ANYONE before blowing shit up?!)
This metafilter thread has lots of great links on this story including myspace pages. Before we get too caught up laughing at Boston, rember our own wacky over the top response to Jason Sprinkle.
Meatwad's Gay? I'd hit it!
Oh man, from the first news reports I thought these were like mysterious boxes with small flashing lights on them, but the things are just flat plates with a picture drawn in lite-brite. The only way I could see this being charged as anything but low level vandalism is if they themselves made panic calls to the police.
I enjoyed the way FOX subverted the "gravity" of their own reporters by showing the video of the folks putting up the silly Spongebob-like art on the buildings.
The reporters made themselves look foolish by continuing to ask bomb questions after the two guys have already made clear they aren't going to say anything connected the arrest and are standing there with their lawyer.
#4: A soda Pop?! His name is "shake", ok? He's a goddam milkshake. I don't think this could be any more obvious.
Reporter: "Have they been advised to act like they're not taking this seriously?"
"That's ALSO not a hair question."
I have to admit, this event has sparked a new passion in me for Lite-Bright. Time to raid my mom's attic!
I feel like my hair is pretty perfect!
ho nuva level
but seriously - how does this relate to skinny, blond, bellevue bimbos in SUV's babbling on their phones?
Right, Shake, I forgot. Anyway, those guys are brilliant.
@4: One is a black marxist, one is a stupid, cracker, greedy, capitalist, and the other is a gay passivist-socialist.
First, see #12. He's a shake. Second, you really think Meatwad's a gay passivist-socialist? YOU ACTUALLY TAKE A CARTOON SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO LABEL A BALL OF MEAT THIS WAY? His name's Meatwad. His brain is made of plastic, and it's removable. He can shapeshift into a hotdog or igloo. How seriously do you plan to take the shape-shifting toy-brain having ball of meat?
none of those are hair questions.
When Meatwad was selling hair extensions to make money to buy his car, he was shown actually wearing them. What the heck did he attach them to?
There. Criteria met. :-)
thanks. let's keep it on-topic, for the integrity of the discussion...
The press conference is funny, but so is this: http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2007/02/01/1170353048_7706.jpg
Dude, wasn't that flame jacket chick on "What Not To Wear"?
These guys are awesome. The BPD are morons. And everyone TOTALLY overreacted! Geezus!
"they have smiles on there faces"
" are you afraid if you go to prison , you'll have to get your hair cut"
"when did the hippy hairstyle come into be?"
This is the most hilariuos stuff i seen on a breaking news report ever. The Daily show couldn't have come up with something better than this PR.
These guys are good. This is a over reaction like when we americans thought the Martians were coming to attack after that Orson wells broadcast of not too long ago.
Firstly, you may call me Meatwad, secondly, do you really think ATHF doesn't have a political agenda?
Some balls on those guys. I went to BU. Anal retentive and majorly passive-agressive in that town (you'd think Seattle was the pinnacle of passive-agressive, but it's not even a contest).
Their lawyer blows me away. Did they let Turner hire them a lawyer?
These guys did a great job for their lawyer. They shut the fuck about anything to do with the case, but they didn't run and hide. And their lawyer did a good job for them by not implying they had things to hide by stepping to take over for them.
I just cant believe that FOX ran it, especially with the footage of the truly innocent looking bright-lite pieces.
It probably helps their confidence that Adult Swim had filed for permits with the city well in advance of the stunt...
I CANNOT believe he said "Hair today, gone tomorrow."
I might very well die laughing.
@24: Political bent, yes. Agenda, no. A: what concerns me the most is that you actually went to the trouble of giving them complex labels, but B: you misidentified Meatwad. There isn't a socialist um, bone-ish substance in him. He's as much a greedy capitalist as Shake.
Also @24: OTOH, I'm hounding you about it, so I guess we're even! :-)
I think they are all manifestations of self-loathing alter-egos of the creators. Meatwad is self loathing because he's stupid and materialistic, but he's better at sharing than any of the other characters. Anyway, who cares, the show is a brilliant critique of capitalism and American cluture, AND it's on cartoon Network. I don't have cable but a comrade used to send me tapes of ATHF and the Daily Show, he taped these over his porn for me. That is all I have to say.
Remember that a Boston cop killed a young woman celebrating the Red Sox World Series victory in 2004.
We are the PRESS! YOU AREN'T TAKING US SERIOUSLY. Waaaahhhh!!!
Sweet baby Jebus, I haven't seen the press totally PWN3D like this, ever. Awesome job guys!
Those things we're put all of San Francisco the same day. Citywide consensus was pretty much, "check that out, sweet!"
There's even a 15 foot tall one on a billboard right by my house, and it is very sweet.
#4 - You should consider snagging some to sell on eBay:
Here's a more complete video, without the fox voice-over:
It has been suggested that Meatwad, Master Shake, and Frylock correspond roughly to Freud's Id, Ego, and Super Ego. And if any of them is gay, it's Frylock. Anyway, I think this media spectacle is WAY better than the most recent season, and probably better than the movie's gonna be too.
Fine, I've only seen five episodes so I'm clearly not an ATHF expert. I'm probably projecting my own objectives; I have a huge crush on Meatwad. Wait, is Meatwad a boy or a girl?
In whose corn syrup-fueled imaginations could these lit-up cartoons flipping the bird be considered "bomblike?"
Somebody set us up the Lite-Brite. Yeesh.
@18 Don't sell Meatwad short; he can also turn into Abraham Lincoln holding a samurai sword.
@39 Yeah Crow!!
Somebody set us up the Lite-Brite.
I want that on a T-shirt!
Orson Welles would be laughing his considerable ass off right now!

One-Bit Adaptive Sigma-Delta Modulator
The results of preliminary experiments into the use of adaptive quantization in a sigma-delta modulator (SDM) are described. A peak value is calculated in a block wise fashion over the signal and used to control the level of a single bit quantizer. This results in extended dynamic range at low signal levels. When used as a part of an analog-to-digital converter, the oversampling ratio or the order of the loop filter can be reduced as compared to a linear quantizing SDM.
