The NCURSES functions are so awesome. I wish we had more standard php documentation however. I guess its up to the community.
ncurses (new curses) is a free software emulation of curses in System V Rel 4.0 (and above). It uses terminfo format, supports pads, colors, multiple highlights, form characters and function key mapping. Because of the interactive nature of this library, it will be of little use for writing Web applications, but may be useful when writing scripts meant using PHP from the command line.
The features available, such as colors, depend on the terminal that you are using. Use functions such as ncurses_has_colors(), ncurses_can_change_color(), and ncurses_has_ic() to check for individual capabilities.
This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 5.3.0.
ncurses is available for the following platforms:

What a difference 20 minutes can make.
"This is a hard team to figure out," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "I didn't say anything differently before the game than I said at halftime.
"I may have said it with a different tone, but I didn't say anything differently. We devoted our energy on the defensive end of the floor to create offense. It was the second time we have scored 60 points in the second half and our defense created it. "
After playing a less than impressive 20 minutes in the first half against SIU Edwardsville Thursday night at Allen Arena, the Bisons took control in the second and rolled to a 94-74 win. It was the first win in three games for the Bisons on their home court.
It was the 250th win in Sanderson's career.
"We dropped down and guarded some people in the second half," said Sanderson. "I liked us better man-to-man in the second half.
"I thought a lot of guys were very good defensively, but I thought Brandon Brown was excellent. He was getting steals on the backside. I thought he covered a lot of ground."
The Bisons had trailed 42-34 at the half. They have trailed at halftime in every game this season.
"We have not put together two halves this season," said Sanderson. "We haven't been winning a game at halftime this year. Our guys know how to play from behind."
Sanderson has been looking for consistency on defense. He thought his Bisons started out the game with a strong defensive effort.
"We were bad offensively to start the game," said Sanderson. "We were three-of-13 in the first few minutes with 10 turnovers. We tried to shoot too quickly. The first few minutes they didn't score either."
The Bisons opened the final 20 minutes of the game with a 9-0 run and never looked back. They continued to pressure the Cougars as center Adnan Hodzic, forward Brian Wright and Brown all put in strong second half performances offensively. The Bisons trailed 52-51 with 12:24 left to play before going on a 16-0 run to seal the game.
Hodzic led with a game-high 20 points. Wright scored a season-high 19 points. Brown added 17 points. Also in double figures for the Bisons were guard Jordan Burgason with 12 and guard Josh Slater with 11, all in the second half.
Guard Johnny Lee also had a season-high in points with eight.
"We played against their set defense the whole time," said Sanderson. "SIUE does a very good job of scouting.
"They understand personnel. They know where guys are. They try to take your strengths away."
The Bisons outscored SIU Edwardsville 60-32 in the second half.
"I thought we got a lot of baskets in the open floor in the second half," said Sanderson. "We did a better job of moving the basketball and getting the ball where we needed to get it too in the second half."
It was the first win for the Bisons on their home court this season and their second defeat of SIU Edwardsville, 2-7, this season.
The Bisons, 3-5, will be back at Allen Arena Saturday night at 7 to face Oakland City University in the last home game before the Christmas break.
"We'll keep practicing and working at it," said Sanderson. "Eventually it will click. We are not going to be the best right now, and we are obviously not. We have a lot of work left to improve."

Which payment types should your business accept?
Getting paid is a critical part of any business. Your customers want options when it comes to paying you. How should you decide which payment methods to accept?
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business survey "Changing the Way We Pay: Getting the Transition Right for Small and Medium businesses" explains different payment methods. Overall, the most common method of payment accepted by businesses is by cheque (89%). However, the payment methods accepted by businesses vary by industry sector. Retail and hospitality businesses are more likely to accept cash (98%), credit cards (95%) and debit cards (93%), and less likely to accept cheques (74%). In other industry sectors, businesses are more likely to accept cheques (98%), but less likely to accept cash (81%), credit cards (64%) and debit cards (46%).
When deciding which payment types to accept in your business, you need to balance the benefits of each option with the risks and costs.
How do your customers want to pay? Most retail and hospitality industry customers prefer to pay with credit card (35%), debit card (27%) and cash (19%). Other industry sectors prefer by cheque (58%), with credit card being a distant second (17%). If you offer your clients a variety of payment options, it may increase your chance of making the sale.
Will you get paid? If you offer store credit, some customers may never pay their bill. Cheques sometimes bounce and cash is sometimes counterfeit. Credit card payments over the phone could increase the possibility of fraud.
Are there any fees involved? Some payment methods involve equipment rental or processing charges that can cut into your profits. Be cautious in passing on those fees to your customers.
How easy is it for you and your staff to handle? Each payment type comes with a learning curve. Staff and business owners will need to learn how to operate equipment, process transactions and verify the payment.
Keep track of how your clients like to pay and of any issues and costs you encounter. This will help you figure out what is best for your business.

WSJ Survey: Economists See Second-Half GDP Growth of 3%
Jump in Business Spending Seen as Key to Potential Breakout
The U.S. economy looks set to steadily accelerate after a weather-pummeled first-half crawl, but the most upbeat economists in The Wall Street Journal's monthly forecasting survey say the business sector holds the key to even stronger growth during the second half.
According to this month's survey of 43 economists—not all of whom answered every question—real gross domestic product is pegged to grow at an annual rate just shy of 3% in the third and fourth quarters. That would put GDP growth over the full year 2014 at 2%, not...

Genomic constitution
StYP, the St genome being from Pseudoroegneria, the P genome from Agropyron, and the Y genome being of unknown origin because there are no monogenomic species that have only the Y genome. It has been suggested that it may be derived from the St genome, being modified in such a way that its chromosomes no longer pair with those of the St genome. This is still only a suggestion.
Distinguishing features
Plants perennial, with solitary spikelets, the spikelets usually crowded but sometimes very widely spaced. Glumes symmetric, membranous, the midvein often prominent. Lemmas usually evidently hairy, sometimes inconspicuously so. Paleas with coarse, widely spaced teeth on the keels, curving distally to a narrow tip.
Plants perennial. not or shortly rhizomatous. Culms 12-120(150) cm tall; lowest internode 0.8-3.4 mm thick.
Leaves 1-10 mm wide, flat to slightly convolute.
Inflorescence spikelike, 2-20 cm long, usually erect if less than 9 cm long, often curved to drooping when longer; lrachis tough, terminating in ??owest internode at least twice as long as the middle internodes; middle internodes usually 1-10 mm long and 1/3-1/2 as long as the adjoining spikelet, sometimes, especially in plants growing in the shade, internodes to 40 mm long (and inflorescence with few nodes, sometimes as few as two or three); disarticulation below the florets.
Spikelets solitary, tangential, 7-19 mm long, usually not or only shortly greater than (0.3 mm) pedicellate, pedicels to 1.3 mm in plants with few, widely spaced nodes.
Glumes lanceolate to ovate, symmetric, membranous, often hairy, 3-10 mm long, subequal or the distal glume longer.
Lemmas lanceolate, hairy, hairs sometimes very only about 0.1 mm long and concentrated on the distal half of the lemmas, tips acute to awned, awns shorter than to less than twice as long as the lemma body, straight. Paleas subequal to the lemmas, keels with coarse, widely spaced teeth, curving slightly to the narrow tip, intercostal region retuse. Lodicules not lobed, sometimes ciliate. Anthers 0.5-3.2 mm long, yellow to black.
There are approximately 30 species in Kengyilia. Several species have varieties which brings the number to around 50 taxa. These numbers come from the listing at http://www.tropicos.org/
Kengyilia grows at high elevations on the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent regions of Central Asia.
Alternative interpretations
In the past, Kengyilia was included in Elymus or Roegneria. Many herbaria probably still have specimens of Kengyilia filed under those names.
Type species
Kengyilia gobicola Yen & Yang
Known problems
The biggest problem is that the genus is hard to reach and, for that reason, poorly represented in herbaria.

XFX 9800GT Review
The past year or so has been quite an exciting one in the video card industry. Exactly a year ago, nVidia released the G92 graphics processing unit, a die shrink of their flagship processor, G80. This one had held the performance crown for well over a year, but with ATI getting back on track they needed something cheaper to compete in the middle end segment. The 8800GT admirably accomplished this role back then. Fast forward to the end of this past summer, the green team ended up, once again, in the same situation - they needed something to counter the surprisingly affordable HD4850 as well as the newly released 4830 and it had to be rolled out quickly. The answer came in the form of the 9 series, which isn't much more than a bunch of rebadged GeForce 8 cards. Not a bad plan, it required very little engineering and has a good chance of success thanks to low prices. Fortunately, those cards weren't bad at all, in fact, they we're a pretty good value once prices settled.
The card sitting on the test bench today is the 9800GT coming from XFX, one of the main nVidia partner in America. This particular version is their vanilla version, with stock clocks going at 600 MHz for the core and the 512 megabytes of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1800 MHz. Those are the same speeds offered by the now defunct 8800GT so it will be interesting to see if a a new name as well as a possibly more mature manufacturing process will allow this unit to perform and overclock better. Enough speculation, let's see what we are dealing with and let the card show itself off.
Closer Look:
With the 9800GT, XFX has stayed true to the GeForce 9 series logo on this card. Each and every member of its class has a unique design for the number 9. This representation has a bandolier of bullets feeding into a ton of various weapons on the front cover letting you know there is alot of firepower snugged inside that box. Additionally, the front cover reveals a core speed of 600MHz, the fact that this card is SLI capable, but not Tri-SLI as this is reserved to higher end cards, and that the full version of Assasin's Creed comes as part of the deal. The rear panel goes into detail on the features of this card as well as showing a render of the card.
The outer panels are really just a sleeve that fits over the inner box which holds the card and contents of the bundle nice and tight. True to form, the inner box proudly sports the colors of the green team and allows the beast to be seen through a window. Just a glimpse through it shows the rendering on the box is the real deal. The card is well packaged and protected, XFX isn't afraid to use plenty of thick foam. The benefits of having video cards well protected cannot be overstated since I have seen some damage here as of late on hardware that is not packaged this well. By the way, they offer a double lifetime warranty which means that, if you happen to sell the card, the second owner can rightly claim support.
The bundle of accessories hides into a side pocket of cardboard. This is where the game discs are found as well as the drivers, which were up to date when the card shipped. There's also a pair of DVI to VGA adaptors, a S-Video cable, a S-Video to component cable adaptor and, finally, a molex to PCI-E power connector which they recommend not to use. Lastly, XFX also added their famous do not disturb door hanger and a brief instruction manual.
Since we are, of course, within the rules of that scary warning, let's not wait any more and rip it off.

U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today introduced new legislation to strengthen safety at schools by providing state and local officials with new resources and tools to help them secure their campuses and protect students.
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today introduced new legislation to strengthen safety at schools by providing state and local officials with new resources and tools to help them secure their campuses and protect students.
"When our children and our grandchildren are at school, we must have faith that they are safe," Senator Boxer said. "This legislation will help state and local officials protect our children by utilizing all of the law enforcement tools at our disposal."
Senator Boxer's first bill – the School Safety Enhancements Act – would strengthen and expand the Justice Department's existing COPS Secure Our Schools grants program to provide schools with more resources to install tip lines, surveillance equipment, secured entrances and other important safety measures.
Currently, the COPS Secure Our Schools program requires a 50 percent local match. Senator Boxer's bill would allow the Justice Department to reduce the local share to 20 percent for schools with limited resources. The bill also creates a joint task force between the Justice Department and the Department of Education to develop new school safety guidelines, and would increase the Secure Our Schools authorization from $30 million to $50 million.
Senator Boxer's second bill – the Save Our Schools (SOS) Act – would allow the federal government to reimburse Governors who want to use National Guard troops to help ensure that our nation's schools are safe.
This legislation is modeled after a successful National Guard program – in place since 1989 – that allows Governors to use the Guard to assist with law enforcement efforts related to drug interdiction activities. Under the new program, Guard troops could help support local law enforcement agencies to ensure schools are safe. The National Guard has said it is "particularly well suited for domestic law enforcement support missions" because it is "located in over 3,000 local communities throughout the nation, readily accessible, routinely exercised with local first responders, and experienced in supporting neighboring communities."
Senator Boxer said Congress should consider the new school safety legislation as part of a comprehensive response to the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which would include enacting sensible gun laws – including banning assault weapons and high-capacity clips – and ensuring that the mentally ill are not able to purchase guns.

Thermaltake Matrix Review
That time of year is here, it's time to shove that tail between your legs and go sauntering back to hell, aka school. It's time to grab your crap, choke down some toast, and run your face off to catch your morning class. I feel your pain and sympathize, but a big part of me maniacally laughs because I am done, never to go back again. When you get back to your dorm room after class are you still looking at the same old tired desktop with a big HP sticker on the side? You know, the one your parents pawned off on you? Maybe dressing up your dorm room a little might ease the disdain. Sure, you don't have the big bucks but anything is better than the HP case sitting on your desk right? Maybe its time you invested just a little in the Thermaltake Matrix case.
There are a lot more custom cases out there than there used to be, but Thermaltake has been around the block a time or two. Thermaltake has a number of mid tower cases on the market for your aesthetic pleasures. Let's see if the Thermaltake Matrix case stands up to the job even though it is a basic mid tower case.
Closer Look:
Thermaltake always has everything you need to know right on its packaging. Great pictures so you know exactly what you are going to get. The packaging is well designed and simple. The front panel gives a front view of the Matrix while the back panel give a breakdown of the case and components with a description of each item. The sides contain little useful information.
Thermaltake never disappoints when it comes to protecting the case in its packaging. The case comes shipped in egg carton style cowling for the top and bottom of the case, and cheese cloth to keep dust and scratches off the shiny finish of the case. Much better than the plastic wrap used on many cases.
Let's get this packaging out of the way and look at the case already!

The Js_of_ocaml library
Base types
Base values are not represented the same way in OCaml and Javascript. In particular, OCaml strings are mutable arrays of bytes, while Javascript strings are constant arrays of UTF-16 code points. We list here the correspondance between base types. Conversion functions are provided.
|OCaml values
|Ocaml type of Javascript values
|Actual Javascript type
|float or float Js.t
|bool Js.t
|Js.js_string Js.t
|Js.js_array Js.t
Typing Javascript objects
Javascript objects are given types of the shape <m_1 : t_1; ...; m_n : t_n> Js.t, using a phantom object type. The methods m_i stands for the field of the Javascript object. For instance, a Javascript object of type:
< data : js_string t Js.prop; appendData : js_string t -> unit Js.meth> Js.t
has a property data containing a Javascript string, and a method appendData taking a Javascript string as argument and returning no value.
Method name and underscore
Some overloading is possible using a syntactic trick: names _foo, foo_abcd and foo are all mapped to a same Javascript field name foo: when accessing a field of an object, the name given in the OCaml code is transformed by removing a leading underscore and then removing all characters starting from the last underscore; this yields the corresponding Javascript name. For instance, these three types correspond to the same Javascript method drawImage:
drawImage : imageElement t -> float -> float -> unit meth drawImage_withSize : imageElement t -> float -> float -> float -> float -> unit meth drawImage_fromCanvas : canvasElement t -> float -> float -> unit meth
This trick can also be used to refer to Javascript fields type or URL, for instance as _type and _URL.
class type .. = object
(* Referer to [meth] *)
method meth : ..
method meth_int : ..
method _meth_ : ..
method _meth_aa : ..
(* Referer to [meth_a] *)
method meth_a_int : ..
method _meth_a_ : ..
method _meth_a_b : ..
(* Referer to [Meth] *)
method _Meth : ..
(* Referer to [_meth] *)
method __meth : ..
(* Referer to [_] *)
method __ : ..
Syntax extension
A syntax extension is available for manipulating object properties, invoking methods and creating objects. The syntax and typing rules are as follows:
- Getting a property
obj : <m : u prop> Js.t ----------------------- obj##m : u
- Setting a property
obj : <m : u prop> Js.t e : u ----------------------- obj##m <- e : unit
- Invoking a method
obj : <m : t_1 -> ... -> t_n -> u meth; ..> Js.t e_i : t_i (1 <= i <= n) ------------------------------------------------- obj##m(e_1, ..., e_n) : u
- Creating an object
constr : (t_1 -> ... -> t_n -> u Js.t) Js.constr e_i : t_i (1 <= i <= n) ------------------------------------------------ jsnew constr (e1, ..., en) : u
OCaml and Javascript functions
OCaml and Javascript do not follow the same calling convention. In OCaml, functions can be partially applied, returning a function closure. In Javascript, when only some of the parameters are passed, the others are set to the undefined value. As a consequence, it is not possible to call a Javascript function from OCaml as if it was an OCaml function, and conversely.
Calling Javascript functions
At the moment, there is no syntactic sugar for calling Javascript functions. You should use either Js.Unsafe.call or Js.Unsafe.fun_call, depending whether you want this to be bound to some particular object in the function body or not.
You can also refer to a Javascript function using an OCaml external declaration. Then, you need to write stub functions in C so that the OCaml compiler accept the external declaration:
Ocaml file: external foo : t1 -> t2 = "foo" C file: #include <stdlib.h> #define D(f) void f () { exit(1); } D(foo)
You can call this function as if it was an OCaml function, as the Javascript function is appropriately wrapped by the system.
Refer to the linker manual to link your program with javascript stubs.
Using OCaml functions from JS
You should use function Js.wrap_callback or function Js.wrap_meth_callback to wrap an OCaml function so that it can be called from Javascript.
To call an OCaml function from Javascript, follow this example:
Js.Unsafe.global##plop <- Js.wrap_callback f
Or, to create a JS object with OCaml methods:
Js.Unsafe.global##plop <-
Js.Unsafe.obj [| ("f", Js.Unsafe.inject (Js.wrap_meth_callback f));
("g", Js.Unsafe.inject (Js.wrap_meth_callback g)) |]
Variant: create an empty JavaScript object (typed or not) and set its properties afterward
(* Optionnal : type the exported JavaScript object. *)
class type exported = object
method addFloat : (float -> float -> float) callback writeonly_prop
method printInt : (int -> unit) callback writeonly_prop
let exported : exported Js.t =
let empty = Js.Unsafe.obj [||] in
Js.Unsafe.global##exportModuleA <- empty;
let _ =
exported##printInt <- Js.wrap_callback (fun i -> print_int i );
exported##addFloat <- Js.wrap_callback (fun x y -> x +. y)
The Json module allows to marshal and unmarshal the javascript representation of OCaml values into the corresponding JSON string. The unmarshaling is unsafe in the same way the OCaml Marshal.from_string function is.
Type-safe unmarshaling may be achieved with the deriving library using either the optionnal Json class or the Pickle class.
- The Json class use a Json as external representation and do not preserve potential sharings in the data representation. See Deriving_Json for more information.
- The Pickle class use a binary format as external representation and preserve sharings in the data representation.
Besides the functions provided by Dom_html to register event handlers (mainly Dom_html.addEventListener) using the usual Javascript way, js_of_ocaml provides another module to program event handlers very easily and concisely, in the module Lwt_js_events.
This module defines functions you can call on a DOM element to create an Lwt thread that will return when the event occures.
Lwt.ignore_result (Lwt_js_events.click target >>= handler);
The handler receives the JS event as parameter.
Each of these functions has a version (same name with an ending "s") that loops when the handler terminates. Example:
Lwt.ignore_result (Lwt_js_events.clicks target handler);
To remove an event handler, cancel the Lwt threads using Lwt.cancel. It is also possible to use Lwt.pick. For example the following piece of code waits for a click on one of t1 or t2:
Lwt.pick [Lwt_js_events.click t1 >>= handler1;
Lwt_js_events.click t2 >>= handler2]
Warning: If you are using Lwt.pick and your handlers take time, be aware that other events listeners will not be cancelled before the handler has terminated. It is probably a better idea to return immediately after having launched the long handlers.
Look at the API documentation for more information.

Investment Tip of the Day
Growing Rich By Boring (Re)Investing
Although it may seem counterintuitive on the surface that a company who distributes dividends to shareholders will, in the long term, net you bigger gains than a company who focuses solely on growth with higher share prices by reinvesting every dollar back into its operations, it is a well-studied fact.
Investors tend to not realize this and simply assume it's all about rising stock prices or market capitalization that determines ones returns completely forgetting that your investment should also include cash paid out.
One popular example is of IBM vs. Standard Oil from 1953 to 2003. If one had invested $1,000 back in 1953 in each company and looked to reinvest any distribution then in 2003 your Standard Oil shares would be worth about $300,000 more than your IBM shares despite the fact that IBM had bigger growth in this period. The difference lies in the amount of money that was distributed as dividends back to its shareholders. Standard Oil had been very generous during their rise and in the process the savvy investor would have made quite a larger fortune.
So although growth stocks may get all the headlines it is usually the less noticed, more boring, types of dividend distributing stocks that focus partly on growth and rewarding their success to their shareholders that ultimately gives one the biggest gains in the long term.
Most people think their only chance of becoming a millionaire is by way of winning the lottery but the reality is the chances of hitting the jackpot is 14 million to 1. The truest and most certain way to become a millionaire is actually much simpler and we've discussed it here. It's through a slow, but consistent saving, investing, and reinvestment approach over time. So although it comes off boring it all comes down to proper discipline and patience that determines ones future financial well-being.

BAKER � Twelve years have passed since Baker School�s football team won a district championship. A Gator win at Northview gives Baker (8-0, 2-0) the District 1-1A title it has been without for so long. The district showdown starts at 7 p.m. on the Northview High School campus in Bratt.
BAKER � Twelve years have passed since Baker School�s football team won a district championship.
A Gator win at Northview gives Baker (8-0, 2-0) the District 1-1A title it has been without for so long.
The district showdown starts at 7 p.m. on the Northview High School campus in Bratt.
Northview is coming off a 26-12 loss to Walton. And Baker remained unbeaten Friday night as D.J. Thomas ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns and Jon Beck threw three touchdown passes in 54-13 win over Franklin County.
Beating the Chiefs (3-4, 2-0), the defending Class 1A state champions, will be easier said than done.
"They had a tough time getting a schedule and they ended up playing the likes of Choctaw, Walton (and) Marianna," Baker Coach Matt Brunson said. "And their 1A loss came at the hands of Chipley, which is a pretty good team too.
"The main thing is we are in the playoffs. A win gives us the District 1-1A championship, which it's been a while since we won around here. And it gives us home-field advantage in the playoffs."
Brunson said the Chiefs will rely on senior all-purpose back Neino Robinson to spark Nortview�s offense. Baker must be mindful of Northview quarterback Daulton Tullis, who has thrown for more than 1,200 yards this season.
"They run a little double wing veer that is very tough and they run the spread as well," Brunson said. "They have Neino Robinson, who is the brother of Nieko Robinson, that signed with Penn State last year.
"So we are going to have our hands full. But at the same time, our guys are battle tested and they are ready. I think our style of play bodes well against what they do."
The Chiefs will operate out of a 5-2 defense.
"They are very big up front, and they are athletic on the perimeter," Brunson said. "If you hang a ball (pass) up in the air, they definitely have got some ball hawks in the secondary."
Brunson believes the Gators can win the game and can force the Chief ball carriers inside.
He said he couldn't have written a better script for the team.
"We are right where we wanted to be when this thing started," Brunson said. "D.J. is healthy and our offensive line is raring to go. Our fullbacks have played great and they are healthy.
"Defensively, we peaked at the right time. Whatever happens Friday night, we are in the playoffs. It's just going to determine whether we are district champions and at home, or if we are on the road in the first round."

Bits and pieces
... scraps of a new project I'm currently working on.
All I can tell right now is that it involves leather, fabric and paint. I'm almost there - just need to add a couple of details.
In the mean time, while tidying up this afternoon I had a little fun with the scraps.
I'll be back next week with more and - it's been a while - a giveaway.
So, stay tuned and have a great weekend!

Hi Long,
Not this Saturday, have some things I'm doing with the family. Most other Saturdays should work for me, or on weeknights.

Hi Long,
It was great hitting with you guys. Should be able to make it out there on Sat.
Hi Steve,
Tues or Wed should work for me next week. If there's still a NBA Finals game on Tues, then I'm going to watch that. If not, Tues is good. If there's a basketball game, then Wed is good. Let's play it by ear.

Would be interested in hitting a few..if your schedule is still open. I live in San Leandro...let me know what works.
