In this article we'll see how to download files off the web. This is accomplished without too much effort using the WebRequest and the WebResponse classes. These classes offer methods that allow us to access the data from the web as a stream. Thus we can use any of the various reader/writer classes available for handling streams. There are two mechanisms that we can use for downloading files. For small files we can use synchronous mechanism and for large files or files that are downloaded from servers whose response times cannot be predicted we can use asynchronous mechanism. I'll demonstrate both methods in this article.
void DownloadFile(String* url, String* fpath) { WebRequest* wrq = WebRequest::Create(url); HttpWebResponse* hwr = static_cast<HttpWebResponse*>(wrq->GetResponse()); Stream* strm = hwr->GetResponseStream(); FileStream* fs = new FileStream(fpath,FileMode::Create,FileAccess::Write); BinaryWriter* br = new BinaryWriter(fs); int b; while((b=strm->ReadByte()) != -1) { br->Write(Convert::ToByte(b)); } br->Close(); strm->Close(); }
I've used five classes there in quick succession. I guess that's just what the BCL is all about, a lavish abundance of classes. WebRequest is an abstract class that allows an user to request internet data in a protocol independent manner. We use the static method Create to request our file. The WebRequest class has a method called GetResponse which returns a WebResponse object. Since in our particular case, we have requested for an HTTP file, we cast our WebResponse object to an HttpWebResponse object. One big advantage of using these classes is that they all allow us stream access. In our case the HttpWebResponse class has a GetResponseStream method that returns a Stream object that encapsulates the requested file from the web. The rest of it is simple if you have used streams before. If not, you can read my article on files and streams here on CP. We simply read from the stream returned by the HttpWebResponse object and write the data to a file.
This is a little bit more complicated than synchronous downloads. But then, as you might expect when you are downloading several large files, then this is the more efficient method. I vaguely remember someone from MS saying that asynchronous methods use high performance techniques like I/O completion ports internally.
We create our WebRequest object just as we did above, but instead of calling GetResponse, we call BeginGetResponse which begins an asynchronous request for an Internet resource. We specify a response callback function as one of the arguments. We then wait on a ManualResetEvent object which is set by the callback, so that our function will be able to block using a wait call till the entire response is read and stored. We also pass our WebRequest object as the state object for the callback function.
void DownloadFileAsync(String* url, String* fpath) { WebRequest* wrq = WebRequest::Create(url); finished = new ManualResetEvent(false); m_writeEvent = new AutoResetEvent(true); buffer = new unsigned char __gc[512]; OutFile = new FileStream(fpath, FileMode::Create,FileAccess::Write); wrq->BeginGetResponse( new AsyncCallback(this,WebStuffDemo::ResponseCallback), wrq); finished->WaitOne(); OutFile->Close(); }
void ResponseCallback(IAsyncResult* ar) { WebRequest* wrq = static_cast<WebRequest*>(ar->AsyncState); WebResponse* wrp = wrq->EndGetResponse(ar); Stream* strm = wrp->GetResponseStream(); strm->BeginRead(buffer,0,512, new AsyncCallback(this,WebStuffDemo::ReadCallBack),strm); }
The EndGetResponse method concludes the asynchronous request that was initiated using the BeginGetResponse method and returns a WebResponse object from which we can use GetResponseStream to get the underlying stream object. Now we begin our next asynchronous operation on the stream. We start an asynchronous read operation using BeginRead. If you are wondering why we do this, here is a snip from MSDN. "Using synchronous calls in asynchronous callback methods may result in severe performance penalties. Internet requests made with WebRequest and its descendents must use Stream.BeginRead to read the stream returned by the WebResponse.GetResponseStream method"
void ReadCallBack(IAsyncResult* ar) { Stream* strm = static_cast<Stream*>(ar->AsyncState); int count = strm->EndRead(ar); if(count > 0) { __wchar_t Temp __gc[] = new __wchar_t __gc[512]; Decoder* d = Encoding::UTF8->GetDecoder(); d->GetChars(buffer,0,buffer->Length,Temp,0); String* s = new String(Temp,0,count); Console::WriteLine(s->Length); unsigned char wbuff __gc[] = new unsigned char __gc[512]; buffer->CopyTo(wbuff,0); OutFile->BeginWrite(wbuff,0,count, new AsyncCallback(this,WebStuffDemo::WriteCallBack),OutFile); strm->BeginRead(buffer,0,512, new AsyncCallback(this,WebStuffDemo::ReadCallBack),strm); } else { strm->Close(); finished->Set(); } }
We call EndRead on the stream and get back the count of bytes that were read from the stream. EndRead is a blocking call and is to be called once per BeginRead call we have initiated already. If the count of bytes read is greater than zero, then there is more data left. Otherwise we know that all the data has arrived and we close the stream and also set the event on which our main function is waiting. Just as we had to use asynchronous methods to read the data, we must use asynchronous methods for writing the data to our file, otherwise we'll have blocking calls inside the asynchronous callback functions which is highly inefficient.
So what we do is we call the BeginRead method on our output stream object. We pass our write-callback function as the callback, and pass the output stream object as the callback function's state object. Once we do this we call BeginRead on our input stream object to start another asynchronous read, as there is still more data left to be retrieved.
void WriteCallBack(IAsyncResult* ar) { m_writeEvent->WaitOne(); FileStream* out = static_cast<FileStream*>(ar->AsyncState); out->EndWrite(ar); m_writeEvent->Set(); }
We call EndWrite on our output stream which ends an asynchronous write operation started by BeginWrite. EndWrite blocks till all the data has been written to. Thus we are saved the bother of making sure that all the data has got written. As you can see, I have use an AutoResetEvent object to make sure that two writes don't occur in parallel and also to ensure that the writes are called in the correct order. If multiple write callbacks are invoked, they'll all hang at the WaitOne call and when they are executed, they'll get executed in the order in which they called WaitOne.

Thoughtfully, George Osborne leaked his big political message in advance. After the US presidential election, he noted in an article that Barack Obama prevailed with one specific message: "Although times are tough, progress is being made. It's a hard road but the country is on the right track." Osborne repeated that message at the beginning, middle and end of his statement yesterday. He will be doing so many times up until the next general election.
He will repeat the metaphor with scrappy or no ammunition. He has far fewer grenades than his Tory predecessors had in the 1980s or his heroes from Canada in the 1990s. After the last election, the new Chancellor declared with a flourish that he would wipe out the structural deficit within a single parliament.
That objective was lost a year ago. Now the Chancellor admits his austerity drive will extend well into the next parliament, as other previously declared goals move farther into the distance. Once again, Osborne blamed the eurozone, the wider global economy, along with a convenient new discovery that the crisis in 2008 was even worse than he had thought, which is quite something as he was comparing the UK to Greece between 2008 and 2010, after which he was supposed to come to the rescue.
The irony is that Osborne is correct in asserting that there are few buoyant markets in the world ready to drive a recovery here, which makes it so perverse that at the beginning he turned off the engine of government activity, the only driver of growth at the time.
Extensive capital spending is one route back towards growth, as the Chancellor almost acknowledges. When unveiling his first self-proclaimed "emergency spending review", Osborne declared that he remained strongly in favour of more capital spending. A closer examination of the figures showed then that capital spending was being cut. Yesterday, he claimed there would be a switch from current spending to capital expenditure. There is no question that he is right to make such a transfer of funds.
There is a very big question about whether the much-needed infrastructure and building projects will be extensive enough and will get under way with the required urgent speed, or in some cases whether they will get under way at all.
In confronting the gloomy figures, Osborne has reinforced his reputation as being similar to Gordon Brown in one respect – deciding on an argument and marshalling the figures to support it. At times, he sounded like he was Mo Farah, sprinting from one triumph to the next, but Osborne makes his moves in a far gloomier economic context than Brown. As the head of the Office for Budget Responsibility, Robert Chote, put it politely: "The Government's goals have become more stretching… there will be an extension of the pain." There is a lot of grim extending and stretching in this cold winter; less Mo than a yoga class going badly wrong.
So far, the Liberal Democrats have been the main electoral victims of the painful contortions. Their pain will almost certainly stretch too. In the early autumn, Nick Clegg proclaimed vaguely the virtues of a wealth tax. He has not got one, nor a mansion tax. Instead, he and his party are left defending sweeping welfare cuts without much of a protective shield, although they get more low earners exempt from income tax.
The various additional anti-tax avoidance schemes are easy to announce. Every chancellor does so twice a year. Even in the unlikely event of some of them being effective, they are not as daring or as guaranteed to raise some money as a mansion tax. And all such initiatives provide tiny crumbs compared with the sums raised when an economy is growing. The lack of sustained growth remains the overwhelming issue.
Balls vindicated
The Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, is in the opposite position to Osborne. The Chancellor can spell out 10 election-winning themes before breakfast but lacks a successful economic policy to back them up. Balls has been entirely vindicated in his early assessments of what would happen under Osborne's policies and yet lacks accessible and populist themes to reinforce his astute judgement.
The vindication of his early warnings should make him more, rather than less, worried that he struggled to make a case in the Commons yesterday and more widely with the electorate. Balls tends to rely on his deeply felt attachment to Keynes and a more immediate five-point plan, without populist phrases to frame an argument.
Sometimes he makes no wider argument at all, as he did so brilliantly in his Bloomberg lecture in August 2010 when he warned of the consequences arising from cutting too fast and deep. He and Ed Miliband still need to spell out more clearly where they stand on "tax and spend", why that has changed from where they stood in 2010, and what the implications are for their approach to the 2015 election.
Their complex and daunting task is made slightly easier when facing a Chancellor who can only hope he has better ammunition when he claims to be on the right track as the next election moves into view.

Oprah Winfrey is still Hollywood's highest paid woman, 18 months after quitting her hugely successful TV talk show.
The TV titan walked away from her hit daily series in May 2011, after 25 years at the top and set up her OWN network, which has struggled to attract the same level of viewers.
However, that hasn't lost Winfrey her place atop Forbes magazine's highest paid women in Hollywood countdown - she earned $165 million between May 2011 and May 2012.
Comeback queen Britney Spears is at number two, with $58 million, after signing up as a judge on The X Factor, while country singer Taylor Swift is in third place with $57 million.
Other stars to make the list include Rihanna and Ellen DeGeneres (tied with $53 million), and Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez (tied with $52 million).

Although oral cancer may not get as much attention as some more widely-known types of cancer, that doesn't mean it's any less deadly. In fact, it is estimated that in the United States, oral cancer is responsible for killing one person every hour, every day. While it accounts for a relatively small percentage of all cancers, oral cancer is dangerous because it isn't usually detected until it has reached an advanced stage. At that point, the odds aren't great: only about 6 in 10 people will survive after five years of treatment.
If there was a simple test that could give you an early warning about whether you're likely to have this disease, would you take it? The good news is — there is! Since early detection has been shown to increase the survival rate of oral cancer to 80% or better, this test can truly save lives. And best of all, having an oral cancer screening is part of something you should be doing anyway: getting regular dental checkups.
An oral cancer examination is fast and painless. Its objective is to identify small changes in the lining tissues of the mouth, lips and tongue that may signify the early stages of this type of cancer. The screening is primarily a visual and tactile (touch) examination. If any abnormalities are noted, a small tissue sample can be retrieved for further testing in a laboratory.
Who's At Risk for Developing Oral Cancer?
The answer might surprise you. Oral cancer used to be thought of as an older person's disease, and it still mostly affects those over 40. But today, younger people form the fastest-growing segment among oral cancer patients. This is primarily due to the spread of the sexually-transmitted Human Papilloma Virus (HPV16).
Of course, the other major risk factors still apply: If you're middle aged or older, a moderate to heavy drinker or a long-time tobacco user, you have a greater chance of developing oral cancer. Chronic exposure to the sun, long known to cause skin cancer, is also associated with cancers of the lips. Genetic factors are thought to have a major impact on who gets the disease as well.
Detecting Oral Cancer
A thorough screening for oral cancer is part of your routine dental checkup — another reason why you should be examined regularly. The screening includes a visual assessment of your lips, tongue, and the inside of your mouth, including a check for red or white patches or unusual sores. You may be palpated (pressed with fingers) to detect the presence of lumps and swellings, and your tongue may be gently pulled aside for an even better view. A special light, dye, or other procedure may also be used to help check any suspect areas. If anything appears to be out of the ordinary, a biopsy can be easily performed.
If you notice abnormal sores or color changes in the tissue of your mouth, lips and tongue, they may be a symptom of oral cancer — most, however, are completely benign. But sores or other unusual changes that haven't gone away by themselves after 2-3 weeks should be examined. Remember, the only way to accurately diagnose oral cancer is through a laboratory report. Early diagnosis, aided by thorough screenings at your regular dental checkups, is one of the best defenses against oral cancer.

Strategies To Stop Smoking Cigarette smoking is the number one preventable cause of illness and death. Quitting smoking could prevent a large number of diseases and deaths each year. Many smokers find it difficult to stop, a fact that is confirmed by the staggering rate of relapse. Given the fact that cigarette smoking is a learned behavior that is reinforced over time, it makes sense that to be successful in quitting, you must "unlearn" this behavior.

The trailer has got an overwhelming response from the audience
Salman Khan's Kick can be announced a Blockbuster even before the film has hit the theatres. Reason being his upcoming film Kick's trailer has got 10 million views, one of the biggest numbers by far.
The super entertaining trailer which was launched with whistles and applause at a suburban theatre has been well received by the audience. In fact such an overwhelming response is one of its kinds and the Dabangg Khan is elated with such a massive response.
Salman's fans has been sharing and tweeting the trailer on social networking websites. Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt's Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania trailer which recently crossed 2 million is lacking far behind, while Salman Khan's Kick trailer has been roaring all along.

BOWLING GREEN - Byron D. Freeman, 28, a former president of Bowling Green State University's Black Student Union, died of cancer Sunday in his apartment here.
Mr. Freeman was president of the Black Student Union when he attend the university in the late 1990s. During the same time, he also was a counselor with the university's Upward Bound program for high school students planning to go to college.
"Byron Freeman was a full and total embodiment of friendship, love, and determination," said Stanley Jackson, Jr., a former fellow student and fraternity brother. "He taught us the true meaning of friendship. He could take the most minute thing about you and highlight it and make you [feel] that you are the only one in the world to possess this quality."
Two Bowling Green State University Foundation's scholarships were named in his honor - the Byron D. Freeman Upward Bound Scholarship and the Byron D. Freeman Scholarship.
His sister, Jenel M. Freeman, said he was a driven man who was working toward his doctoral degree in psychology with an ultimate goal of opening a practice in rehabilitative psychology. "He had a passion for helping others," she said. "And he was very generous in giving his time and talent, both professionally and to his family and his friends."
A Columbus native, Mr. Freeman graduated from Scott High School in Toledo in 1995 and enrolled at BGSU.
He later got a bachelor's degree in psychology and another bachelor's degree in telecommunications, both in 1999 from BGSU, and a master's degree in rehabilitation psychology in 2002, also from BGSU.
For the last few years, Mr. Freeman and his brother, Tyson W. Freeman, operated Image Imperial LLC, a photography, engraving, and design company in Toledo, which they founded in about 2002.
Most recently, since 2005, Byron Freeman had been doing his doctoral studies in psychology at the University of Iowa.
Mr. Freeman was a lifelong member of Mays Chapel United Holy Church of America in Toledo, where his late father, the Rev. Franklin Freeman, was a pastor. The older Mr. Freeman died in 1996.
Byron Freeman also was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.
Surviving are his mother, Janet Freeman-Thurston; stepfather John Thurston; brothers, Franklin Freeman II and Tyson W. Freeman; sister, Jenel M. Freeman, and grandparents, Francis and Madelee Freeman.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday in First Church of God, 3016 Collingwood Blvd. Toledo. The body will be at the Dale-Riggs Funeral Home Chapel after 5 p.m. tomorrow.
The family suggests tributes to the Byron D. Freeman Scholarship or the Byron D. Freeman Upward Bound Scholarship, both at the Bowling Green State University Foundation.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's volleyball program has announced the addition of prep player Jenna Way (Charlevoix), who will continue a family tradition at FSU. She will join the Bulldogs effective with the fall 2012 campaign, according to FSU head coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm.
Way recently wrapped up her prep senior campaign at Charlevoix High School and is a four-time all-state honoree.
"Jenna is a fantastic athlete and a tremendous competitor along with being a positive and uplifting teammate," said Brandel-Wilhelm. "We are truly excited to add Jenna to our program and she will be a great addition to Bulldog Volleyball."
Way's signing continues a longstanding family tradition at Ferris State. She is the granddaughter of former FSU Athletic Director and Bulldog Athletics Hall of Fame member Dean Davenport. Her mother, Chris, was a two-sport varsity athlete at Ferris State and later served as a volunteer assistant coach in the FSU program before becoming head volleyball coach at fellow Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) member Michigan Tech from 1981-84. Additionally, her uncle Terry designed the current Bulldog mascot logo as a Ferris State student in the 1980's and her aunt, Jodi, was a tennis player and captain of the first Ferris Pom Pom squad.
A four-year starting setter, Way served as a team captain for three-straight seasons and was both a four-time all-conference and all-region selection. She also attained all-region dream team accolades throughout her prep career. This past season, she led the Rayders to the program's first-ever regional crown and a trip to the state semifinals.
Way's older sister, Sumer, played volleyball for four years in the GLIAC at Hillsdale College while her other sister, Aubrey, was the first-ever Charlevoix High School graduate to move on to collegiate volleyball when she played at Cornerstone.
In her prep career, Way attained all-tournament team recognition more than 10 times and played nearly every minute of every match over her four years except for a single play in one game this season. Way holds virtually every Charlevoix setting record.
The two-time first team all-state recipient is on track to tie the school record of 12 varsity letters currently held by her prep head coach, Liz (Grunch) Shaw. Besides volleyball, she has also competed in tennis, track and basketball.
Ferris State compiled a 27-4 overall record in 2011 and won the GLIAC North Division Championship while also reaching the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Semifinals. The Bulldogs finished as league co-champions after posting an 18-1 conference mark.

Riverside Colony neighbors file appeal over manure pad
Posted: Thursday, Nov 29th, 2012
HURON — Neighbors of Riverside Colony north of Huron have filed a second appeal after decisions were made by the Beadle County Commission to grant a conditional use permit for the colony to build a holding pond and a turkey manure storage pad.
The holding pond is not part of the current action because that appeal was dismissed earlier by the court. The current appeal deals only with the turkey manure pad.
Russell and Pam Layton and Darrell and Kathy Hofer maintain that the way they read the appropriate ordinances pertaining to agricultural districts that the colony must obtain a permit for a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation based on the size of the animal feeding operation.
The Laytons said the appeal was based on a document submitted to the Beadle County zoning administrator from Dakota Environmental, the colony's engineering firm, that was dated 2008, as well as the minutes of a Beadle County Planning and Zoning meeting on whether more information was required for an expansion of animal numbers.
The Laytons said documents from the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources include a certificate issued in 1998 stating the number of turkeys and hogs as reported by Dakota Environmental. Another certificate was issued in 2008 stating the increase of animal numbers, they said.
There are two permitting processes in Beadle County ordinances for the ag district – conditional use or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
In October 2009, the commission approved Riverside Colony's request for a conditional use permit to build the holding pond so it could use new technology to eliminate livestock manure odors. The swine manure holding pond was approved so liquefied manure could be supplied to irrigation pivot systems.
After that initial approval, neighbors appealed the commission decision to circuit court. But Judge Vince Foley remanded the issue back to the board to make a determination if the construction resulted in an increase in animal units. Again, the holding pond is not part of the current appeal.
Foley said, in part, "Moreover, the commission opinion reflects no finding of actual inventory. Moreover, no evidence exists where the county determined there was no increase in population thus obviating consideration of the issue of expansion.
"Barring that, the commission decision is arbitrary as no factual basis for the appropriate numbers of animal units is found." This opinion was rendered in the turkey pad appeal only.
This fall, the board found no increase in units and again approved the conditional use permit at a rehearing.
Current ordinances dealing with manure storage pads were adopted in January 2012. But the colony's permit was based on 1998 ordinances.
The second issue deals with the permit issued in 2009 for the holding pond.
The colony maintains that the pond was actually moved farther away from the Layton residence than initially proposed, and it was built smaller.
The initial proposal placed the earthen manure storage basin about 2,800 feet from the Layton residence. A conditional use permit has a one-mile minimum separation distance.
The Laytons say the colony has expanded its animal units, but the colony denies that.
The Laytons want the county to follow the proper permitting process. A CAFO permit determines separation distances based on animal units.
"Structures have been built by our home that no one would volunteer for, and the further away from these structures that we can be, the better," the Laytons wrote in an summary of their objections.
"All we have ever asked for is that the permitting process be followed," they wrote.
"If we are correct and a CAFO permit is required, the county commission must determine the separation distance based on animal units," they said.
They said their appeal is based on one structure, although many structures are involved, including a new turkey barn in 2008, a confinement feeding operation north of the colony and the swine earthen manure storage basin.
The Laytons say they are not against agriculture operations and have lived in the county for 19 years. They raise goats and have their own manure issues. The meat goats are raised primarily for sale to members of 4-H clubs. They also say they have nothing against their neighbors at Riverside Colony.
They agree that there are odors to live with in the country, but that mistakes were made in this case and should be rectified.
For example, they maintain that the county has not considered, as required by 1998 ordinances, violations to the State General Water Permit as administered by DENR. Any violation requires those in violation to permit or re-permit under the Beadle County CAFO process. The Laytons said documentation from DENR indicates multiple violations occurred since 1998.
Beadle County State's Attorney Mike Moore said at the recent rehearing that the initial permit was granted based on the alternative location for the pond that came up during the first hearing.
Russ Layton said commission meeting minutes don't reflect an alternate location being considered.
But he said it is a separate issue and is not part of the second appeal, which deals with the turkey manure storage pad.
He also said the proposal was to build a two-cell pond, with four million gallons on each side and a berm running down the middle. He maintains the permit was approved based on that plan.
Moore said the plan was changed to a one-cell, smaller pond so it could be moved about a mile away from the Layton home.
"Beadle County is doing the best it can in hearing the concerns of all the parties involved and rendering a fair decision under the law," Moore said.
"The permits Riverside has asked for and received were based on state and federal mandates and greatly improve the environmental impact of their farming operation," he said.
"Riverside has asked for the conditional use permits not to expand their operation, but to better handle animal waste and comply with federal, state and county requirements," Moore said.

Climate Change - Geophysical Foundations and Ecological Effects
Edited by Juan Blanco and Houshang Kheradmand, ISBN 978-953-307-419-1, 534 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published September 12, 2011 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license
Edited Volume
This book offers an interdisciplinary view of the biophysical issues related to climate change. Climate change is a phenomenon by which the long-term averages of weather events (i.e. temperature, precipitation, wind speed, etc.) that define the climate of a region are not constant but change over time. There have been a series of past periods of climatic change, registered in historical or paleoecological records. In the first section of this book, a series of state-of-the-art research projects explore the biophysical causes for climate change and the techniques currently being used and developed for its detection in several regions of the world. The second section of the book explores the effects that have been reported already on the flora and fauna in different ecosystems around the globe. Among them, the ecosystems and landscapes in arctic and alpine regions are expected to be among the most affected by the change in climate, as they will suffer the more intense changes. The final section of this book explores in detail those issues.

Bradford Gray, Stephen Zuckerman
B. H. Gray, K. Stockley, and S. Zuckerman, "American Primary Care Physicians' Decisions to Leave Their Practice: Evidence from the 2009 Commonwealth Fund Survey of Primary Care Doctors," Journal of Primary Care & Community Health, published online Jan. 4, 2012.
The survey was completed by 479 primary care physicians between the ages of 35 and 49 and 525 who were age 50 or older. Among the younger physicians, 30 percent were planning to leave their practices within five years. Among the older group, 27 percent of doctors were planning to retire and 25 percent were planning to leave their practices for other reasons within five years.
Analysis showed that the amount of time spent coordinating patient care was strongly associated with primary care physicians' plans to discontinue practice. Furthermore, among younger physicians, treating large numbers of uninsured patients was linked to having plans to leave practice; among older physicians, treating large numbers of Medicare patients was associated with plans to retire. Surprisingly, seeing more than 150 patients per week—considered an unusually high caseload—was not linked to plans to discontinue practice in either age group.
Although the survey did not ask about physicians' income, "it contains hints that income may be affecting plans to retire or leave practice for other reasons," write the authors, who point to the association between having a large share of privately insured patients with lower rates of plans to leave. The Affordable Care Act may help in this regard, as insurance coverage expansions should reduce the number of uninsured patients faced by primary care physicians. Moreover, evidence that high patient caseloads do not factor into decisions to abandon practice may bode well for the ability of the nation's primary care workforce to meet the expected increase in demand for health services once health reform is fully implemented.

Exhibition: The Garbage Patch State Venice
©M. C. Finucci
Greetings from the Garbage State
In the framework of the International Year of Water Cooperation, an exhibition is held in Venice at Ca 'Foscari University. The artist Maria Cristina Finucci has created this travelling exhibition which started in Paris on 11 April 2013 and will arrive on 24 November 2013 at the 55th International Art Exhibition in Venice.
This is the project installation invented by the artist Maria Cristina Finucci to sum up in a simple image what is in fact a very complex phenomenon of islands made of garbage and floating in the middle of the oceans.
The idea is inscribed in the framework of Wasteland, a complex art project on which the artist has been working for several months, composed of videos, images, and many other interventions.
The project will be exhibited at the 55th International Art Exhibition which will run in Venice through 24 November 2013.
It started in Paris on April 11 of this year, International Year of Water Cooperation, the new Federal State was institutionally - albeit symbolically - recognized during a performance-installation at the UNESCO headquarters.

hey guys,
i just did some tests and got the alpha change to work on a Label object. bascially in order for you to get it to work you have to wrap your label object into a sprite and then set the sprite's blendMode property to BlendMode.LAYER. after that change the alpha on the sprite and it should work just as you think it should. here is the sample code:
package { import caurina.transitions.Tweener; import flash.display.BlendMode; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import qnx.ui.buttons.LabelButton; import qnx.ui.text.Label; [SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#CCCCCC", frameRate="30")] public class TweenTest extends Sprite { private var myLabel:Label; private var myLabelContainer:Sprite; private var myBtn:LabelButton; public function TweenTest() { super(); // support autoOrients stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; myLabelContainer = new Sprite(); myLabelContainer.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER; myLabel = new Label(); myLabel.text = "Sample Text"; myLabel.setSize(150,52); myLabelContainer.addChild(myLabel); myLabelContainer.x = 10; myLabelContainer.y = 10; addChild(myLabelContainer); myBtn = new LabelButton(); myBtn.label = "Do Animation"; myBtn.setSize(150,52); myBtn.setPosition(300, 10); addChild(myBtn); myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startFadeOut); } private function startFadeOut(e:MouseEvent):void { Tweener.addTween(myLabelContainer, {alpha: 0, time: .5, onComplete: startFadeIn}); } private function startFadeIn():void { Tweener.addTween(myLabelContainer, {alpha: 1, time: .5}); } } }
I've tested this on both the Desktop and the Simulator and it works both times. There is no bug in the Label QNX API. from what i've read, dynamic type textfields do not change alpha's unless it uses an embedded font (much like rotating it doesnt work unless you embed). my guess would that the QNX Label API is using a dynamic TextField object at some point. but the work around is to apply the effect on the sprite wrapping the label. hope that clears a few things up. good luck guys!
Thanks! Setting the blendMode on the parent sprite to BlendMode.LAYER did the trick!
@jtegen - Just curious why did you GPL this code? (My understanding is anyone who compiles GPL'ed code into their app will have to distribute their full app source code to anyone, on demand.)
Alternative suggestions? I'm flexible. If you make mods to the library that might be helpful to others, I would appreciate you sending those to me for review and inclusion.
02-27-2011 06:12 PM - edited 02-27-2011 06:16 PM
First I'm totally with you on contributing mods back to the library itself and would be happy to do so.
Second, I'm not an expert on open source licenses - I'm just trying to come up to speed on them and stay compliant with the rules on developer accounts.
Third, here's my high level understanding (which definitely has holes in it), from what I've read so far:
If you use GPL code in your software (create a derivative work) then anyone can demand you give them the source code for your app, and people sometimes do:
"Linksys was required to release their source code as per the terms of the GNU General Public License."
This is probably undesirable for a lot of PlayBook developers wanting to release paid apps on the platform.
There is the Lesser GPL, which apparently has some abiguity about whether or not static linking (compiling LGPL open source into your app) is allowed. The intent of the LGPL seems to be to do what you intend (require libary modifications to be contributed back, without requiring release of the full source code of derivative works) but with the static linking confusion this feels impractical.
Then there are the so called more permissive licencses: MIT, BSD, Apache, among others that I think allow static linking, don't force application developers to release source code for their apps just because they are using open source, and allow modified code to be distributed in derivative works, including commercial works without *requiring* the modifications to be contributed back. Like I said I still have lots of reading to do (and it's not my idea of fun).
My take on this is that the GPL & LGPL while well intentioned have major downsides that cause folks trying to write a commercial app to stay the heck away from them. The intended spirit seems to be share and share alike but the practical effect may be that nobody can really make money selling GPL'ed apps because the next guy and the next guy and the next guy can demand the source code, add a few tweaks, and attempt to monetize w/their tweaks. If they sell well then others can demand the source and sell it too, and if not then they don't make money. In other words a race to the bottom at least for paid software (open source software support is a different business).
My sense is lots of folks say to heck w/GPL/LGPL and go MIT/BSD/Apache, and many of us can be grownups and freely contribute back to open source, without being coerced into it by the GPL's mandate for "freedom" being crammed down our throats.
wow that is a lot of stuff. i just wish there was a "do whatever you want, just please submit any updates you make to the library itself." license lol everything is so complicated.

Well, maybe I'll just change it to the JRT license (my initials). "Use it as you like, but please send useful updates back to me for review and inclusion to the library so that others will benefit" license.
No, really. If there is a valid public license that meets the nature of the above statement, please let me know; otherwise, I will just paraphrase my own.
and john dont forget this line, "Please do no sue me for any problems or damages." prolly a little important
02-27-2011 07:19 PM - edited 02-27-2011 07:28 PM
Yeah I think they all have a disclaimer about being "AS-IS without warranty of fitness for purpose" etc.
I'm looking to learn the details of the major licenses, but not today, and not all at one sitting. Got code to write.
It's probably worth considering for anyone releasing open source code to review the most widely used licenses and pick the one that most closely matches their intentions, vs. rolling their own.
Especially if they'd like to see their code used widely (and thus more likely to be contributed back to), potential users are more likely to find and pick up and use something that has a well known license that they already are familiar with.
P.S. @jtegen - No rush to do it today; I think you made your (perfectly reasonable) intentions clear, and it can be handled over whatever time frame you want to spend reading up on the different licenses. Main reason I asked you about GPL'ing your code was that I suspected the implications of GPL weren't really your intention ...

Resistance Band Routines
People with diabetes who perform resistance training strengthen their muscles. This results in a higher metabolism and more calories burnt, improving insulin sensitivity (glycemic control), helping with weight loss, and may reduce the amount of diabetes medications you take, according to Jacqueline Shahar, M.Ed., RCEP, CDE, a certified diabetes educator and manager of exercise physiology in the Joslin Clinic.

Engine started making noises like a large ball bearing in a tin can, I stopped. Steam pouring out the passenger side of the car (outside), opened hood, radiator was 1/2 cup low, reserve 1/2 full. Little bubbles were fizzing where the intake manifold meets the engine block. Once it had cooled, it did not make any noise and ran fine. A mile up the road, the temp was almost to red line again. No water spray on the engine, oil is clear. The radiator has never been flushed that I know of....where do I start? Has never done this or anything else before.

Unfortunately, the restoration of Laffey cost so much that there isn't money to restore the submarine Clamagore, and she will probably end up towed out to sea and sunk as a reef.
ReplyDeleteRepliesBob, the Yorktown will probably suffer the same fate I fear. As the Director of Patriot's Point said, when you talk about millions of dollars, he can't sell enough T-shirts to cover the bill.
The Clamagore if memory serves was commissioned at the end of WWII. It survived and went up to GUPPY III mods if my old brain still sorta works. A great boat!
Sadly it seems that some would not choose to preserve these vessels.

Craig Craig residents have a chance to put their baking and decorating skills to the test, as the Downtown Business Association is scheduled to host its fourth annual gingerbread house contest Friday.
The DBA hosts the event in an effort to "get people out doing things," said Kandee Dilldine, KS Kreations co-owner and DBA member.
Gingerbread house entries are due no later than 4 p.m. Thursday to the Museum of Northwest Colorado.
Entry forms are available at KS Kreations, 523 Yampa Ave., or The Kitchen Shop, 577 Yampa Ave.
The DBA created a separate division for professionals - adult competitors who decorate baked goods for profit. Entries in this division will be judged separately from those entered in the amateur division.
A separate category is available for youths 17 years old and younger.
The entry fee is $6 and includes a board to place the projects on. If previous years' contestants bring a board issued by the DBA, the entry fee will be reduced to $2. Gingerbread houses must be placed on the boards the DBA provides, Dilldine said.
The projects will be judged Friday at the museum, where they will remain on display until Dec. 14. A panel of three judges will evaluate the entries based on creativity and overall appearance.
Plaques and Spree Bucks, certificates honored like cash at any Chamber of Commerce member business, await the winners - $50 for first, $25 for second.
Contestants can test their baking skills by creating their houses from scratch or they can purchase gingerbread house kits. Gingerbread houses will be accepted regardless of whether they come out of the box or out of a bowl, Dilldine said.
The contest comes with one stipulation: gingerbread houses must be made entirely of edible materials, said Nadine Daszkiewicz, Kitchen Shop owner and DBA member.
For would-be gingerbread decorators, this rule means no wrappers and no non-edible supports, Daszkiewicz added.
The DBA has received several unique entries in past years, including one shaped like a dog kennel.
As for some past entries, Daszkiewicz used one word to describe them.

Official Title: | Feasibility of Delivering a Quitline Based Smoking Cessation Intervention in Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Outpatient Treatment: A Pilot Study |
- Evaluate a smoking cessation intervention among cancer patients [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]Evaluate a smoking cessation intervention among cancer patients who are scheduled to receive or currently receiving surgery, radiation or chemotherapy OR have received one or more of the following within the last 6 months surgery, last radiation treatment, or last chemotherapy treatment in a community outpatient setting.
Estimated Enrollment: | 146 |
Study Start Date: | October 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | January 2015 |
Primary Completion Date: | June 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Arm I - Nicotine Replacement Patch
Participants receive a letter from their physician advising them to quit smoking, and undergo a 15-30-minute smoking-cessation counseling session by a trained research staff. The participants are educated and motivated about the importance of quitting smoking, and cancer-specific quitting issues. They will be called by Quitline in 2-3 days and receive a fact sheet about benefits of SC for cancer patients. Participants receive 8 weeks of nicotine replacement patches and up to 5 proactive telephone calls over a 12-week period. Participants also learn behavioral tips and coping skills. |
Drug: Nicotine Replacement Patch
Study participants will receive a baseline assessment after they consent to participate and before randomization. The intervention period will last 12 weeks (approximately 1 week for the in-office intervention and 12 weeks for all components of the Quitline intervention- telephone counseling and habitrol patches). Follow-up assessments will be administered at 3, 6, 12, & 24 weeks after the date of the in-person intervention (for Quitline Intervention group) or the provision of the physician letter (for the Usual Care Plus group).
Other Names:
No Intervention: Arm II
Participants receive a letter from their physician advising them to quit smoking, the importance of quitting smoking for cancer patients, and a copy of the National Cancer Institute's "Clearing the Air" smoking cessation booklet. Participants also receive standard of care from their oncology and other treatment providers which may or may not include nicotine replacement therapy.

- Active Peptic Ulcer Disease
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing, psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Due to unknown risks and potential harm to the unborn fetus, sexually active women of childbearing potential must use a reliable method of birth control while participating in this study. Reliable methods of birth control are: abstinence (not having sex), oral contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD), DepoProvera, tubal ligation, or vasectomy of the partner (with confirmed negative sperm counts) in a monogamous relationship (same partner). An acceptable, although less reliable, method involves the careful use of condoms and spermicidal foam or gel and/or a cervical cap or sponge. We encourage you to discuss this issue further with your doctors if you have any questions.
- If you are pregnant, should become pregnant or suspect you are pregnant prior to or while participating in this study, you should inform your study physician immediately. Nicotine replacement therapy has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects and is classified as a FDA Pregnancy category D drug. The U.S. Clinical Practice Guideline states that pregnant smokers should be encouraged to quit without medication based on insufficient evidence of effectiveness and hypothetical concerns with safety. Pregnant women enrolled in the study and randomized to the Quitline group intervention should participate in the Quitline intervention but not receive the nicotine replacement therapy.
- Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with nicotine replacement therapy, breastfeeding women are excluded from the study.

I've been trying to make a function which makes a new div when clicked.
I use this code:

…and this code for activating it:

Trailer

But when I activate it, it doesn't add that div, but it deletes the entire page content and prints the div. Any ideas? Thank you all!
// Simon
EDIT: Sorry for messy code
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I think that's how document.write works after the page has loaded, it rewrites the whole document. Can't find any references now though.
Can you not use 'insertAfter' instead of 'append'?
Paulie_D, Could you show me an example? :)
Here's one using jQuery in document.ready mode. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/vFcuh
Two functions:
One using 'insertAfter' targeting putting something after a specific ID and the second 'appendTo' putting it after the content of the 'article'.
Please note that I am VERY new to JQ and I'm just getting into it.
Certainly you could create a function and assign that function to a click event…but I'm still learning.
Try this script instead:
function printYTVideo(fileUrl){ var ytDiv = document.getElementById('ytgoeshere'); ytDiv.innerHTML = '
'; }
Check out innerHTML
The jQuery version would be:
function printYTVideo(fileUrl){ var $ytDiv = $('#ytgoeshere'), content = '
'; $ytDiv.html(content); }
Here's a simple fiddle that I made for appending some text to a div with an id: http://jsfiddle.net/LJdWc/.
Please let me know if you need anything further!

MHPM Project Leaders
Is leadership the missing factor in your capital project?
MHPM helps owners save money, manage risk, go green
What does a project to outfit a new office, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, have in common with a multimillion-dollar restoration of a historic landmark?
Too often the answer is cost overruns and missed deadlines.
"When dealing with architects, engineers, contractors, specialist consultants, project stakeholders and clients, most owners benefit from professional support as they lead their implementation team," said Franklin Holtforster, President and CEO of MHPM Project Managers Inc.
Holtforster, who has worked as a consulting engineer and project manager in the construction industry, founded MHPM in 1989 to address what he saw as a significant shortcoming in the industry – there was no objective and independent third-party to represent the interests of owners and lead facility projects on their behalf.
Since then, MHPM has grown to become Canada's largest facility project management company, with operations coast to coast. It has represented thousands of clients with services ranging from strategic advice to complete project delivery.
For MHPM, the most important part of the project is that initial consulting phase to determine why the project is being done and how it must be executed to best serve the owner's core business objectives. MHPM hires only those rare individuals with the combination of proven industry experience, technical expertise, people skills and a commitment to client service.
"Projects typically fall behind because of the unanticipated level of effort, multi-disciplinary expertise and past experience that is needed to move from concept to completion," said Greg Ashley, Vice-President and Regional Manager, Eastern Ontario. "We take care of the many details that can derail a project."
MHPM works on projects large and small with an emphasis on sustainability. In fact, it employs 150 LEED-certified professionals across the organization. Current projects in Ottawa include Public Works' renovations of the Parliamentary Precinct, the revitalization of Lansdowne Park, and the University of Ottawa's Vanier Project.

The chocolate boy turns 29 today
Born on January 16, 1985, Sidharth Malhotra made his film debut in Karan Johar's Student Of The Year with Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. His performance in the romcom was appreciated by critics as well as the audience. Before films, Sidharth has done quite a few stage shows and modelled for Roberto Cavalli's advertisement campaigns and appeared on the covers of several magazines including RedBook, Gladrags among others. Sid also assisted the Koffee with Karan host while he was making My Name is Khan.
The Student Of The Year actor is now gearing up for the release of his next film opposite Parineeti Chopra titled Hasee Toh Phasee. Apart from this one, Malhotra will also be seen in Mohit Suri's The Villain opposite Shraddha Kapoor.
According to astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi, "His soon-to-release Hasee Toh Phasee once again produced by Karan Johar will do well at the box office, while his negative role in The Villain will be well appreciated both by the audiences and critics alike". "Even on the love front, things are looking rather positive for him and he may actually bump across someone really interesting before the year comes to an end".
Bollywoodlife wishes the dishy dude a happy birthday and fruitful year ahead. Do send your wishes!

ReMix: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! "Permafrost"
Help us take OCR to the next level by supporting us on
- Game: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (Nintendo, 1996, SNES)
- ReMixer(s): Draconiator, Flexstyle
- Composer(s): David Wise, Eveline Novakovic
- Song(s): "Frosty Frolics"
- Posted: 2013-05-16, evaluated by the judges
- Album: Featured on Donkey Kong Country 3: Double the Trouble!
- Terms (BETA): collab dance electronic synth tempo-fast trance
Draconiator teamed up w/ Flexstyle for this frosty bit of four-on-the-floor electronica from Double the Trouble! - the artists write:
Flexstyle: "When Draconiator first handed his mix to Wes, who then handed it to me, I knew there was a lot of work to be done on it, but it definitely had promise. I asked if Drac would be okay with a collab, just to throw a couple coats of polish on his track and possibly get him in as an actual mixer, instead of just a bonus mixer. He agreed, and we got to work. To be honest, most of the arrangement is his work. I did some editing, such as adding the reversed piano bits and chopping up the arrangement to make it more listener-friendly, and I did some serious tweaking of synth patches and tempo and whatnot, but a lot more of this is Draconiator than me, musically. Where he fell short in mixing and general "remix sense," if that makes sense, I was able to step up. The result is this deep trance track, which both of us are very happy with."
Draconiator: "Before I even sent this to Wes, it was an original (which I lost the FLP file for). I sent said original to Wes, and he suggested that I redo it into a remix for the album, which seemed like a good idea to me, so that is what I did. However, the first finished version of it, according to Wes, was still bonus mix quality, so sometime later he proposed that I work with Mike to get it up to album quality. I couldn't be happier with my decision."
Couple comments to make - one, I'm really proud that our community gets artists working together for alley-oops like this, because sometimes artists have an arrangement that needs a different take on production to really make it shine, and sometimes other artists with some free time who can really get into working with something relatively complete and taking it to the next level. Secondly, beyond being a great characteristic of the community in general, coordinating these sorts of collaborations is a hallmark of an effective album director. Many album directors are artists, some aren't, but either way being able to envision & successfully matrix contributors to an album project is a critical skill, so kudos to Wes. Regarding the mix, you've got a relatively straightforward trance treatment, but the break at 1'07" lasts for a long while, which really sells the mix title and creates a wispy, wintry vibe. Palpable writes:
"Nice dance mix, this definitely goes beyond your run-of-the-mill adaptation. Lots of little layers and effects, and the source was used a couple different ways. The ambient section with the reverse piano was completely gorgeous. If this has a fault it's with the balance: there was a washed out sound to the synths and bass that made this sound a little hollow. But with such good flow and production otherwise, it's not gonna stop this."
Good stuff; not groundbreaking, and not quite as modern as some of the more recent electronic arrangements we've posted, but a creative take on the source that conveys the chill context & adds some nice energy to the equation!

Redditor Sketchampm says he and his girlfriend ordered two iPhones, and AT&T shipped them four. They sent two back as instructed and got refunded, but AT&T kept sending them bills for the other two phones, which customer service told them to ignore. Today, 3 months later, they get a call from a debt collector, demanding $1,100.
That is just all shades of wrong. Here's some executive contact information for AT&T he could use to boot his issue up to the office of the president. We've reached out to AT&T for comment.

And here's where I'm at with the jimmy:
The jimmy is gutted on the inside now, just need to unbolt the body from the frame, and figure out how to get it lifted onto the blazer frame and sized up. |
May 18th, 2011, 04:07 PM | #8 |

Well after tons of debt and other annoying shit, anyone know a good way to get this body off the frame? All I gotta do is unbolt the body from the frame and it's ready to come off. Will be rolling a stock k5 frame under it for now... Just need to get it up in the air, I've got no hoist, or trees, that will hold it.
May 18th, 2011, 05:04 PM | #11 |
Senior Member
Which one's easier, trying to get the front end lined up with a axle swap or just settin it on a full size frame and sliding the rear leafs forward to shorten it.
May 18th, 2011, 05:12 PM | #12 |
is the jimmy factory 4wheel drive? if so i would just swap the drive train and perform a sas there are plenty of treads on pirate and s10forum just sit down and start reading. the only reason i tell u to swap the drive train is because i think it would suck to fab body mounts make sure it on the frame square plus to make the body fit the frame would behard with the rear arch of the blazer chassis. i vote drive train swap and be done with it. just my .02
May 18th, 2011, 05:58 PM | #14 |
Senior Member
I was just thinking since you don't have a way to lift the whole jimmy body it would be easier to swap over all the drive train parts, you have everything you would need from the K5.

Either way, I'm trying to build my first toy, and I'm not too knowledgable on the fabbin and swappin stuff. I've been readin alot here and trying to learn some here and there.
May 20th, 2011, 11:21 AM | #18 |
Senior Member
i vote do a sas on the jimmy getting that body to fit on the k5 frame would suck and a sas isnt as hard as you may think. im currently doing a sas on a 99 jimmy and its going really well. just do a lot of reading and looking at pics of other people doing them and take there ideas. also the frame on the jimmy is going to be alot stronger then the k5 frame. either way good luck with the build

Ok my g/f's brother helped me out yesterday and cut off all the body bolts from the blazer. Got 3 bolts left on the jimmy, but outta oxygen, so probably today. As far as that k5 body goes, it's not in real good shape anyway, maybe the front fenders and hood are saveable, but the inner fenders are junk, as most the rest of the body. Doors are power and gate was power. Gate is rotted, doors aren't that great. Hope to have the k5 loaded on the trailer and on the way to the scrapyard by sat. and let them pull the body right off for me
