And now that you know what to expect from this set of articles, it's time to review the topics that were discussed in the last one. In that part of the series I built a simple example class in PHP 5, which was able to save its properties, along with the values assigned to them, to a MySQL table.
All of the database operations required to save the example class's properties were delegated to an instance of a basic MySQL abstraction class. This abstraction class was injected (or aggregated) into the constructor of the persistent class.
Of course, the best part of defining a class like this is that it's possible to retrieve its properties at a later time on a different PHP file, thus building a software entity that can persist (at least partially) across a number of web pages.
However, the best way to understand how the two classes referenced above can interact with each other is by means of a concrete example. Therefore, in this last installment of the series I'm going to set up that example for you. Doing so will wrap up this introductory guide to building persistent objects in PHP 5.
Ready to tackle the final chapter of this hopefully instructive journey? Then, let's get started right now!
{mospagebreak title=Review: creating a database-driven persistent class}
To understand how the pair of sample classes mentioned in the introduction can be put to work in tandem to create a persistent object whose properties will be saved to a MySQL table, it'd be useful to recall how these classes were initially defined in the preceding tutorial.
Here's the source code that corresponds to the MySQL abstraction class. It's responsible for performing queries against a selected database. Take a look at its short definition:
class MySQL
private $result = NULL;
private $link = NULL;
// connect to MySQL
public function __construct($host, $user, $password, $database)
if (FALSE === ($this->link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $database)))
throw new Exception('Error : ' . mysqli_connect_error());
// perform query
public function query($query)
if (is_string($query) AND !empty($query))
if (FALSE === ($this->result = mysqli_query($this->link, $query)))
throw new Exception('Error performing query ' . $query . ' Error message :' .mysqli_error($this->link));
// fetch row from result set
public function fetch()
if (FALSE === ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($this->result)))
return FALSE;
return $row;
// get insertion ID
public function getInsertID()
return mysqli_insert_id($this->link);
// count rows in result set
public function countRows()
if ($this->result !== NULL)
return mysqli_num_rows($this->result);
// implement destructor to close the database connection
function __destruct()
Since in the previous installment I covered in detail how the above "MySQL" class works, I'm not going to bore you with redundant explanations of the way that each of its methods have been implemented. The only thing worth noting here is that the class packages enough functionality for connecting to MySQL and running queries, counting the number of rows in a result set, and so forth.
Now it's time to show the definition of the persistent class, which I called "User," since it stores user-related data on a specified MySQL table.
The complete signature of this sample class is as follows:
class User
private $data = array();
private $id = 1;
private $db = NULL;
// constructor
public function __construct(MySQL $db, $id = NULL)
$this->db = $db;
if ($id !== NULL)
$this->id = $id;
$this->db->query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=' . $this->id);
$this->data = $this->db->fetch();
// set undeclared property
public function __set($property, $value)
if ($property !== 'name' and $property !== 'email')
$this->data[$property] = $value;
// get undeclared property
public function __get($property)
if (isset($this->data[$property]) === TRUE)
return $this->data[$property];
// save class properties to MySQL table
public function __destruct()
$this->db->query("UPDATE users SET name = '$this->name', email = '$this->email' WHERE id = $this->id");
Even though the definition of the previous "User" class looks pretty skinny and compact, it performs a few interesting tasks that are worth a closer look. As you can see, aside from implementing the "__set()" and "__get()" PHP 5 magic methods, which permit it to handle undeclared properties on the fly, the class also uses its constructor to retrieve those properties from a fictional "users" MySQL table.
Next, these properties are stored in the internal $data array, which lets the destructor save them again to the "users" table, right before the PHP interpreter finishes executing the calling script.
The question that comes up at this point is: do you have a vague idea of how to create a persistent object with the two classes shown earlier? I'm sure you do! Nonetheless, to dissipate any doubts that you may have on this subject, in the course of the following section I'm going to create a brand new example that will put these classes together so you can see them in action.
To learn how this particular example will be developed, please click on the link that appears below and keep reading.
{mospagebreak title=Spawning a persistent object from the User class}
In the previous segment, I explained briefly how the "MySQL" and "User" classes do their respective businesses, but always theoretically. Now, it's time to see how they can be used for creating an object capable of maintaining the values assigned to its properties through different HTTP requests.
Below I coded a simple script that first spawns an object from the originating "User" class, along with a couple of properties, and then saves those properties to the sample "users" MySQL table, thanks to the functionality provided by the corresponding MySQL abstraction class.
The source code of the script is as follows:
// example on using a persistent object
// connect to MySQL
$db = new MySQL('host', 'user', 'password', 'database');
$user = new User($db);
// create user properties and assign values to them
$user->name = 'Alejandro';
$user->email = 'email@example.com';
// __destruct() saves automatically object's properties to the database
See how simple it is to create a database-driven persistent object in PHP 5? The above code sample should answer this question for itself. As I explained earlier, once an instance of the "MySQL" class has been injected into the constructor of "User," the "name" and "email" properties created dynamically are stored automatically on the "users" MySQL table, thanks to the clever implementation of the destructor.
Of course, it's valid to point out here that all of these operations could be performed using a group of regular methods, instead of the magic ones available in PHP 5. For instance, instead of implementing a destructor to save the properties of an object, a regular "save()" method could be used to produce the same result.
However, since my purpose here was demonstrating how to create a persistent object with a minimal amount of code, I decided to use the magic methods that you saw before.
Having clarified that point, and now that the properties of the previous $user object have been stored in the corresponding MySQL table, the only step that remains is to show you how the properties in question can be restored on a different web page.
This process will be discussed in detail in the last section of this tutorial. Thus, to get there simply click on the link below and keep reading.
{mospagebreak title=Retrieving properties of a persistent object on a different web page}
As I said in the section that you just read, the only thing left to explain here is how the properties of the user object created previously can be restored by a different PHP file. So, assuming that the definitions of the classes defined earlier have been included in this file, it would look similar to this:
$db = new MySQL('host', 'user', 'password', 'database');
$user = new User($db);
// display values of properties
echo $user->name;
echo $user->email;
That was simple to accomplish, wasn't it? But I'd like to take this example even further. Say that it's necessary to assign new values to the "name" and "email" properties of the user object. Well, this process would be performed in the following way:
$db = new MySQL('host', 'user', 'password', 'database');
$user = new User($db);
// create user properties and assign values to them
$user->name = 'Mary';
$user->email = 'firstname.lastname@example.com';
// __destruct() saves automatically object's properties to the database
There you have it. Finally, I managed to build a basic class whose persistent storage mechanism is a simple MySQL table. Also, in this particular example only the properties of an instance of that class are saved to the target table, so if an application needs to save the whole instance, it'd be necessary to implement some methods that serialize/unserialize the object alternately.
But, guess what? This will be left as homework for you. So get your hands dirty and get started building your own persistent objects. The experience will be really educational, trust me!
Final thoughts
We've finally come to the end of this series. But hopefully the whole experience has been instructive and also fun, since you learned a few different approaches to building persistent objects in PHP 5. Ranging from using cookies and plain text files to utilizing MySQL tables as the storage mechanisms associated with a particular class, creating this type of object is indeed a no-brainer process that you'll surely master in a very short time.
See you in the next PHP development tutorial!

Margo Kaplan on Gawker, HIV, and Magic Johnson
Margo Kaplan is a new assistant professor of law at Rutgers-Camden. After reading a recent Gawker post on NBA great Earvin "Magic" Johnson, she wrote the following, which we are happy to post:
"On Wednesday evening, popular blog Gawker.com aired a post offering a cash reward for the identity of the individual who transmitted HIV to Magic Johnson. It was particularly interested in confirming decades-old rumors that Johnson contracted HIV from sex with a man or transgender woman. The post came on the heels of a Frontline report on HIV in the African American community. Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio faulted Frontline for allowing Johnson to reveal only that he contracted HIV from having sex with numerous women. "[I]t seems odd," Daulerio wrote, "that there's been no follow-up about which of these women was HIV positive."
One can imagine a world in which Johnson's potential sexual activities might be legitimately newsworthy—say he denied that HIV was sexually transmitted or he waged a public campaign against the LGTBQ community. But that's not the case. What will generate page hits for Gawker in this case is the public naming and shaming of an individual who is HIV positive and the public humiliation of Johnson if he engaged in something other than straight sex. Daulerio's post coyly capitalizes on the stigma of HIV and the stigma of non-straight sex. In doing so, it plays to the very prejudices that keep people in the closet about their sexual orientation and their HIV status.
The post reflects more serious problems with how we as a society approach HIV. Sexual transmission of HIV provokes a mix of fear, disgust, anger, and fascination. We want information, but mainly information that give us someone to point to and say, "I'm not like that. That couldn't happen to me." As a result, even today people living with HIV are subject to discrimination and abuse, ostracized from their communities and families, and—as the Gawker post aptly demonstrates—derided in the press.
They are even subject to special criminal sanctions. It is currently a felony in several states to have sex with another person without revealing that you are HIV positive. This makes intuitive sense to a lot of people. But more often than not, these statutes reflect outdated information or even myths. For example, almost no statute provides a defense of having taken the precaution of using condoms. Several statutes criminalize sexual activities like receiving oral sex or using a sex toy, which pose risks of transmission so small they are only theoretical.
The punishments for these offenses are far more serious than for statutes that criminalize serious risk in other contexts. In some states, you may get a smaller sentence for playing Russian Roulette (a one in six chance of death) than having protected sex (less than one in 10,000 chance of transmission, depending on the sex act.) This is because most states' maximum sentence for recklessly placing another person at risk of death or serious injury is one year. In contrast, HIV-exposure statutes carry an average maximum sentence of eleven years.
Why is sexual HIV exposure targeted so fiercely compared to the many other ways we expose each other to risk of death and injury? It's not that it helps deter risky behavior. Studies have demonstrated that these statutes have no deterrent effect. In fact, several public health advocates argue the statutes may increase HIV transmission by discouraging people from being tested (most statutes only apply to individuals who know their HIV-positive status). This is a big problem given that two-thirds of transmission occurs where the transmitting partner doesn't know she is HIV-positive.
Perhaps we target HIV-positive individuals in the law, in our communities, and—as Gawker demonstrates—in our media—because we want to believe that they are not like us. Maybe states criminalize levels of risk that are perfectly legal in other contexts because it's not really about the risk. It's about the perception that individuals infected with HIV are tainted, and sex with a person living with HIV is in itself harmful regardless of the risk of transmission. This perception allows us to ignore the numerous social and economic problems that contribute to HIV transmission in favor of the myth that the real problem is the type of people who get HIV, and we are not those kinds of people.
Magic Johnson shattered that myth for a lot of people. When he came out as HIV-positive, Americans were forced to recognize that even our heroes can get HIV. Yes, someone out there (perhaps more than one person) transmitted HIV to Johnson, and it's possible Johnson had non-straight sex. But Gawker isn't looking to disprove the very real fact that you can get HIV from sex with a woman. The story Gawker is looking for is only a story because some people still believe that HIV and non-straight sex are freakish. They aren't. Let's move on."

Self-storage organizations provide storage units—such as rooms, containers, lockers and warehouses—on short-term leases, typically on a weekly or monthly basis. The usual clients of self-storage businesses are individuals and businesses, such as retailers, importers, exporters, truckers and manufacturers. By charging a nominal rent, self-storage companies provide additional services, such as insurance cover, biometric access, video surveillance, climate control and personal guards.
Self-storage facilities have unique needs that set them apart from other types of property management. Gate access integration, additional sources of revenue, such as equipment rentals and merchandise sales, as well as online reservations are just a few of the elements a self-storage property manager would need to consider when selecting software. Managing the complexities of a self-storage business is time consuming and frustrating for many property managers. To avoid adding complexities to their business, executives should look for a self-storage solution that reduces human effort and, in turn, improves efficiency.
Self-storage management software is used by both single- and multi-property managers. It enables them to view facility maps, facilitate electronic signatures and manage payments. In addition, advanced systems provide additional capabilities to users by integrating with customer relationship management (CRM), accounting and work management solutions. Furthermore, various software providers are offering business intelligence tools for data analysis and visualization.
This buyer's guide will be a starting point for you to understand self-storage software. The following areas are covered in this guide:
Common Features of Self-Storage Property Management Software
Benefits of Self-Storage Property Management Software
Deployment Options
|Facility maps
|Electronic color-coded maps allow the facility manager to see at a glance the status of each unit—which are in use, which are reserved and which are vacant. You can also print maps for your new renters to show them where their unit is going to be.
|Payment options designed for self-storage facilities
|The revenue model for self-storage facilities demands additional accounting features that a typical property management firm wouldn't need. These include accepting payments and/or deposits for rental equipment, making merchandise sales, accepting credit card payments, scheduling automatic recurring payments based on the customer's needs or locking the leaser out for failure to pay on time.
|Integration with campus systems
|Oftentimes student housing is tied to meal plans, utilities or class schedules. A robust student housing program will integrate into the university's other software programs to facilitate transfer of necessary information.
|Online renter access
|Just as property management systems can have a Web-based portal for tenants, software for self-storage facilities will have a portal for renters and prospective renters. They can reserve a unit (based on the vacancies, as listed through the software) or pay their rental fee without leaving their home.
|Gate access integration
|The more advanced software packages will integrate seamlessly with your gate access system. By giving each tenant a unique access code, the system will give the new tenants access immediately, allow you to track their visitation and lock them out when their payments are past due.
|Property managers should be able to use reports to summarize business performance metrics and take corrective action. Advanced solutions provide real-time reporting functionality that prevents overhead tasks and provides up-to-date information.
Self-storage solutions not only help address challenges for storage unit owners, they also assist in achieving business goals, such as increasing revenue and process efficiency. Business owners can take advantage of the following benefits by using self-storage software:
Automate manual overhead tasks: The software allows property managers to automate manual tasks, such as billing and invoicing, sending payment reminders, sending move in/out notifications and generating reports. Additionally, self-storage software enables property owners to generate auction letters, rent agreements and notices. Property managers can also communicate any rent increases to clients with ease.
Monitor business performance: Self-storage solutions provide business intelligence and reporting functionality to users in order to help them monitor key performance metrics for their rental business. With up-to-date reports, property owners can address challenges and take corrective action in real time.
Enable customer self-service: The solution enables tenants to easily review available storage units with the help of a facility map. With a tenant portal, clients can check dues, customize storage plans, add additional services and view their documents. In addition, they can check their payment due dates and total amounts.
Facilitate digital payments: Self-storage software facilitates credit card, digital wallet and net banking transactions, which increases convenience for both the property owner and the tenant. In addition, advanced solutions also assist in bank reconciliations and tax calculations to help prevent errors during annual tax computations. Thus, software vendors are partnering with banks to integrate payments with their business accounts.
Access from remote location: Advanced solutions are offering mobile applications that enable remote access from any mobile device. The functionality enables property managers and tenants to subscribe a storage unit's services on-the-go. In addition, the software helps clients locate the nearest storage units that are available based on their requirements.
Manage multiple facilities: Self-storage businesses operate in a number of locations with different storage units. The availability of these units keeps on changing due to the short-term demand of these spaces. Therefore, tracking every unit's availability becomes tedious for property managers. The software creates facility maps that visualize available and occupied spaces to help prevent errors and thus, maximize revenue.
Property owners should first discuss all available options in the market with their stakeholders before purchasing a solution. One of the most important considerations before finalizing is the deployment mode of the software. Here are the two most common deployment modes:
On-premise: An on-premise solution is installed on the computer and requires local infrastructure to support it. The software involves a one-time investment, but proves to be cost effective in the long term. However, on-premise deployments reduce a company's agility and increase infrastructure requirements.
Cloud: Software deployed on the cloud enable users to access it via the internet without requiring specialized infrastructure. Cloud services are usually available on subscription basis in fixed interval billing periods. In the long run,cloud deployment reduces capital investment and companies incur only operational expenses, which further offers agility to the infrastructure. Overall, the entire software industry is gradually moving towards the cloud-based solutions.

SCons / CxxTestBuilder
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/CxxTestBuilder
The builder for running unit tests created with the CxxTest framework. This is the official builder for CxxTest (see below).
I'm pleased to say that this builder has now been included in the new and improved version of CxxTest that is currently in svn. The source code here is not updated every time I fix a bug, mainly because I forget. So, the most up-to-date version can always be found here: https://cxxtest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cxxtest/trunk/build_tools/SCons/.
Get it there while it's hot.
Get the code from CxxTest svn, or find it under build_tools/SCons in your CxxTest distribution.
Copy this code into a cxxtest.py somewhere in your toolpath (usually to #/site_scons/site_tools/cxxtest.py).
An expanded (and maintained) version of the documentation for this builder is located in the builder file. Please consult that version to solve any problems, or email me. It should be very easy to use.
In short, it can be used in the same way the Program() builder can be used. You can even specify other flags on call etc.
#!python # vanilla include (the 'cxxtest' would be 'CxxTest' if the file was called CxxTest.py!) env = Environment(tools = ['default', 'cxxtest']) # if you have to specify some options: (others can be found in the comment block of the generate function in the code or above) env = Environment(tools = ['default', ('cxxtest', {'CXXTEST':'#/cxxtestgen.py', 'CXXTEST_CPPPATH':'#/libs/cxxtest/'})]) # or you can use this syntax: env = Environment(tools = ['default','cxxtest'], CXXTEST='#/path/to/cxxtestgen.py') # if you don't want to have an extra scons_site directory env = Environment(toolpath=['cxxtest/build_tools/SCons'], tools = ['default','cxxtest']) env.CxxTest('test_quaternion', source = 'Quaternion.t.h') # the quaternion test env.CxxTest('test_utility', ['utility.t.h', '../utility.cpp']) # utility functions test env.CxxTest('test_timer', ['Timer.t.h']) # timer class test # generate the source for multile files and then call the runner (--root/--part functionality) env.CxxTest('test_multi', ['TestSuite1.t.h', 'TestSuite2.t.h', 'test_utility_functions.cpp'], CXXFLAGS='-Wall -W -Wextra')
The 1st version was written by Gašper Ažman, and then completely rewritten again to produce the code as it largely is today.
Diego Nieto Cid kindly provided the windows interpreter finding fixes. Many thanks!
Some fixes and additions (and code cleanup) were initiated and implemented by J. Darby Mitchell. It is because of him that I started working on getting this builder to try to work out of the box.
Globbing support problems reported by Edmundo Lopez, who also provided a patch. As a result, the sourcecode was streamlined in order to fix the problems the patch uncovered.
The current maintainer is Gašper Ažman (gasper dot azman at gmail dot com).
Quality control
All problems reported have their own unit-test that fails if run by a builder without the fix. This means regressions shoud not crop up.

Roasting Pans
Browse any selection of roasting pans, and it soon becomes apparent that not all roasters are created equal. While these pans all handle the basic responsibility of roasting a chicken or turkey, roasting pans can also be used for a variety of other cooking purposes, which is why you should choose your pan carefully. With a variety of sizes and a selection of styles available, these pans are not one size fits all. If you are shopping for a new roasting pan at Williams-Sonoma, there are a number of different styles to ponder before you choose your new roaster.
The first thing to consider when choosing a roaster is whether you want an open pan or closed pan. Open styles offer plenty of versatility, letting you use the pan for baking and even serving as well as roasting. If you want this flexibility but do envision occasionally roasting a bird, make sure the pan has at least a 3" depth since most open pans are more shallow than their covered counterparts. Open roasters are also easy to store and generally easy to clean. If sealing in juices and getting maximum flavor is important to you, a covered pan will be more your style. Covered cookware not only keeps the flavor in the pan, but it also makes for a neater cooking experience as juices are less likely to overflow in the oven.
Next, think about the size and shape of the roaster you need. If you are routinely going to use the pan to cook a large bird or meat roast for a big crowd, you want a roaster that can accommodate as much as possible. A large pan prevents the bird from browning and leaves room for air to circulate underneath. Keep in mind, however, that if the pan is too big, the juices are likely to burn since they won't cover the whole bottom. If you like to use the pan on the stove top as well as in the oven, make sure it is thick and has a flat bottom. Shape also plays a role in the roasting pan's cooking abilities. Oval-shaped pans work well for poultry roasts, and their rounded shape makes it easy to whisk the juices into gravy or sauce. Rectangle pans offer more cooking space and the versatility to cook a variety of different items like casseroles or cakes.
The material of the roasting pan also plays a role in its cooking abilities. Stainless-steel and copper both conduct heat evenly, which makes them a good choice for a roasting pan. There are also multiple-ply options, which sandwich aluminum or copper in between stainless-steel, offering a pan that is thick and durable. Cast iron is also a popular choice for a roasting pan, but keep in mind that it can become very heavy, especially when holding a large chicken or turkey. Cast iron also requires a bit more maintenance and upkeep than other materials. If easy clean up is important to you, consider a nonstick option. Some of the nonstick pans are even dishwasher-safe, which makes cleaning quick and easy.
Finally, look at other features that each roasting pan has to offer. If you can see yourself cooking large, heavy items routinely, look for a pan with sturdy handles. If you want the ability to lift items in and out with ease, look for a pan that comes with a roasting rack. V-shaped racks are generally good for poultry while flat racks are ideal for meat roasts. If you routinely deglaze your bird on the stove top after taking it out of the oven, look for a nonreactive pan material that works well on the range, like stainless-steel with an aluminum core. With the right size, material and features, a roasting pan will become a staple in your kitchen cookware lineup.

Android Mastermind Rubin to Turn His Thoughts Elsewhere
Mar 14, 2013 10:54 AM PT
Andy Rubin, the man who helped maneuver Android into the No. 1 mobile OS position, is stepping down as head of Android at Google.
Taking Rubin's place will be browser and applications chief Sundar Pichai. The reshuffling effectively folds Google's mobile OS, applications and Chrome browser into one operation.
The Man Behind Android
Google CEO Larry Page has credited Rubin for making Android what it is today. Rubin introduced Page and cofounder Sergey Brin to the platform when he visited the company in 2004.
"He believed that aligning standards around an open source operating system would drive innovation across the mobile industry," Page wrote in a blog post. "Most people thought he was nuts."
Today, Google has global partnerships with more than 60 manufacturers for Android. Android has been activated on more than 750 million devices globally, and 25 billion apps have been downloaded from Google Play.
Rubin will be staying at Google in a role that is so far undefined -- at least to the public. He likely can write his own ticket, either at Google or another company.
Google did not respond to our request for further details.
Whither Android?
It's unclear where Android is now headed under Pichai's helm -- and Chrome, for that matter, now that the two divisions are merging.
One possibility is that Google wants to see Android progress in a more orderly fashion going forward, similar to the track that Chrome has taken.
Android "has been driven into the market by Google's partners and the development community," noted Charles King, principal at Pund-IT.
"It may be that Google has decided that it wants a more linear growth path for Android, and the success of Chrome is what they want to replicate," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Chrome has been making steady inroads in the browser market, surpassing Internet Explorer last year on the global market.
"In 2008, people asked whether the world really needed another browser," Page noted.
Its next big hill to climb -- interestingly, given the executive reshuffling -- is the mobile browser market. Recent figures from Net Applications suggest it is starting to make a dent there as well.
"Both Chrome and Android have succeeded beyond the initial expectations of many in the market," King said. "What will be important is how Google manages their next stage of growth."

An old saying goes that when the U.S. economy sneezes, the world's economy catches a cold. This is plainly less true in an age of globalization, and these days Europe's economic Parkinson's Disease seems to be having some kind of collateral effect on prospects here, which is one reason why President Obama would really like it if Angela Merkel would relent on monetary rectitude.
Meanwhile, China may or may not some day come to be the world's largest economy, though I recall all the smart liberals like James Fallows and Clyde Prestowitz who assured us in the late 1980s that unless the U.S. emulated Japan's awesomely intelligent industrial policy, Japan was sure to pass the U.S. to become the world's largest economy by the year 2000. Somehow all those smart liberals are still with us, though suffering a case of selective amnesia about their ridiculous Japan predictions. The lesson for today is that the "China-Is-Awesome" chorus (paging Tom Friedman!) might want to consider the 10 warning signs of economic trouble in China compiled by the Also Sprach Analysis blog, such as:
—Steel production is falling fast, and steel traders are abandoning the business;
—Imported coal is piling up on the docks;
—Cotton inventory is rising;
—Macao casino revenue has flatlined;
—There are multiple signs of stress in the banking sector.
There's more. We noted the potential problems in China last month. But I'm sure it's all George W. Bush's fault.

Regardless of which DG Micro plan you choose, you can save $200 after mail-in rebate with this limited-time offer.Learn More
*Speeds up to 15 Mbps available on the Business plans.
Are you out in the country and being bogged down by a slow, outdated dial up connection just to go on Facebook or check your e-mail? Then maybe it's about time you considered switching to a high speed business cable internet providers connection from DG Micro. Both are lightning fast cable internet services that can easily beat anything your dial up service can do. This means you can download, upload, watch videos on Youtube, stream music and get better browsing all without having to wait every time you want to connect to the cable internet by dialing in and hearing loud, scratching sounds. Much better! But if you are looking at your options carefully, there are a few other things to consider. One thing you can do is wait and hope that cable internet arrives someday even if you live very far out. For a lot of people, this is just not a good option as they have already been waiting for many years and are still settling for the dial up service they had years ago when they first started using the cable internet. This is no good regardless of how you slice it. Is Satellite Faster Than DSL? Maybe you don't have a dial up connection. Maybe you are fortunate enough to have something a little faster than that but still not up to par with the 21st century, namely DSL business internet service. This is a good option as well because it is on 24 7 but it is still not as fast as the cable internet service you can get. High speed business internet is not high speed on just about any DSL connection due to the anatomy of the lines being so outdated. With DSL, you can only go so far. Most DSL connections are around 3 Mbps down at the very most. With satellite, you can get speeds of up to 15 Mbps down. This is a huge difference. That means that a file that would take an hour to download on DSL would only take around 12 minutes to download on a satellite business internet connection. This means you spend less time waiting and you can get right to enjoying the file you wanted without interruption with a cable internet package. Is High Speed Satellite business internet Faster Than Cable Internet? This is a tough question to answer because the two have very different technologies and on some levels it can go either way. Most of the time they are around the same speeds for just about everything. When it comes to high speed business internet, cable is the most popular choice and for obvious reasons, but satellite has speeds similar to cable that are available in your area without having to wait for the companies to finally lay the lines you need to enjoy their service. Satellite business internet can go up to 15 Mbps on most services. This is about as fast as cable can go as well without getting a large, dedicated line custom installed to your server. If cable is available in your area, it might be a better fit than satellite. If cable internet service is available but cable is not, satellite internet is most definitely the best and fastest choice you can pick compared to Time Warner Cable Internet. $0 Up Front For Installation If you are on the fence, why not try the service before you have to pay a dime? After all, satellite business internet from Business or DG Micro are available without any money due up front. You can get set up with your service without having to pay for equipment or installation. Don't waste money up front, try your service first and then pay for it after you've gotten used to it!

Examining Mental Health Needs of People Living With HIV
July 27, 2012
In this post in the AIDS.gov blog, Nils Daulaire, director of the Office of Global Affairs in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), examines the mental health needs of people living with HIV, writing, "The burden of being HIV-positive, or caring for loved ones living with the disease, is not restricted to the physical toll. For many people, there are equally important mental health needs (PDF). We at HHS understand that addressing HIV means addressing the whole person" (7/26).

As my boss, Bob Bixby, notes, we've just started a new fiscal year (FY2011) last Friday, but we didn't exactly get to "party like it's 2010″ (when expensive policies are scheduled to expire). Seriously, a few years ago I had a lot of faith that we would have enacted some meaningful reforms by now, especially on the tax side given the "action forcing event" of the scheduled expiration of the Bush tax cuts. But "change" has been minimal on the fiscal policy front, even with changes in who's in charge.
Bob came up with this great list of (fiscal) New Year's Resolutions, Concord Coalition-style:
[I]t seems like a good time to make some New Year's resolutions. Here are a few suggestions:
- First, the President's bipartisan fiscal commission should resolve to overcome partisan differences and produce a plan for long-term deficit reduction.
- Second, the President should resolve to make deficit reduction the main focus of his Fiscal Year 2012 budget, allowing for a phase-in period as the economy recovers.
- Third, Congress should resolve to pass a budget resolution next year, something it failed to do this year. And that resolution should contain a realistic strategy for reducing the deficit, including discretionary spending cuts, phased-in entitlement reforms, revenue increases and an enforcement mechanism to back it up.
- Fourth, the media and the public should resolve to keep the pressure on politicians to produce solutions that add up. No more "fuzzy math" evasions should be tolerated on the campaign trail or in the halls of Congress.
- And finally, the public must resolve to accept that sacrifices will be required to ensure a more prosperous future. Don't blame the politicians for failing to make responsible choices if they are only rewarded at the polls for making irresponsible promises.
If these resolutions are made and met, we might have more reason to cheer when the next fiscal new year comes around.

India, China To Be Among Top 5 Destinations For M&A
Bangalore: India and China will be among the top five destinations for merger and acquisition activities across diverse sector over the coming year, according to a report by global consultancy Ernst & Young.
"The top five destinations for would-be deal-makers are: China, India, Brazil, United States and Canada," the report said.
It said sectors like life sciences, oil and gas, automotive, consumer products, automotive and technology are expected to see the highest level of activity in M&A deals.
Globally, the number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is expected to pick up over the coming year, with 35 percent of companies surveyed likely to pursue acquisitions compared with just 25 percent a year ago.
About 70 per cent of global executives expect deal volumes and deal sizes to improve over the next 12 months.
"All of this is underpinned by growing confidence in a global economy on sounder footing – improving economic conditions in mature economies and more stabilisation in the major emerging markets," E&Y Global Vice-Chair (Transaction Advisory Services) Pip McCrostie said.
The survey found that 65 per cent of executives expect the global economy to improve over the coming year, up from just 22 percent a year ago.
Companies are expected to use more debt and equity to finance deals, instead of relying on cash, it added. The survey was conducted among 1,600 executives from large companies globally and across industry sectors.

Well, you didn't expect perfection, did you?
The Mets gained the reputation as "Lovable Losers" in their infancy, which began 50 years ago today with a decisive loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Last night was also decisive, but there was nothing lovable about it as the Mets started the night with news their often-injured third baseman, David Wright, had a fractured right pinkie and is expected to be placed on the disabled list.
Then, I suppose in a page taken from the original Mets, Dillon Gee gave up a game-opening home run to Ian Desmond. We knew the Mets would eventually lose, but defeat was certain and ugly, containing butchered plays by Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda, two defensive liabilities to begin with, but not with the Marvelous Marv flair.
Gee was roughed up and the offense disappeared and their first defeat of the season was in the books. There will be others, but defeat in 2012 will be different than defeat in 1962.
Back then, New York was happy to have National League baseball back in the city and embraced the rag-tag group of veteran rejects managed by circus barker Casey Stengel. Defeat was often and came in various forms and with the Stengel proclamation: "Can't anybody here play this game?"
Well, at one time, they did. At one time, Gil Hodges, Duke Snider and Richie Ashburn could really play. However, 50 years ago, they represented memories in flannels.
Today's Mets, while undermanned, have a core of young and talented players, with more on the way up. Had the original Mets taken to start with youth before veterans, who knows how the history of the franchise would have changed?
Perhaps, we might have had the Miracle Mets before 1969. Then again, the karma would have been altered. Like much about baseball, there's fun and beauty in speculation.
The Mets celebrate 50 years this season, and we all have our memories and special moments. Mine is different than yours, but they are all special. I don't know how this year will wind up, but it will be special in its own right because it will contain a new set of memories.
It began with a sprint out of the gate with four exciting and well-played victories, but sputtered last night with bad pitching, spotty defense and no hitting, just like it was 50 years ago.
But, it's not 1962 anymore. The Mets have a new stadium and aren't playing in the rundown Polo Grounds. Those Mets weren't expected to be good, or even compete. Today's Mets must compete, and in New York, that means winning.

A while ago me and a friend had a battle over a small colony on the outskirts of Praetorian space... The colony had been stirring up trouble and the Praetors wanted them dead, upon arrival they discovered a fortified base It seems the colonists had received a large shipment of weapons and even a small RAINBOW Class Corvette.
We didn't have long so we turned it to a CTF match, I had to capture the blue flag and he had to defend it for a few turns. I only took a before photo because as i said time was short. I the battle lasted a few turns, even though my friend actually had a CP advantage with his Ship and various vehicles plus the crates of weapons and turrets, he decided to play it safe, |I decided the best strategy was BLITZKRIEG! and charged in all guns blazing, and took the flag without much resistance.

In his latest blog post, Tobias Schlitt talks about the keynote speech that Tim Bray gave during the International PHP Conference this year performing a little comparison between Java and PHP.
Tim first introduced his comparison basis (Scaling, Dev Tools, Dev Speed and Maintainability) and explained his views on the 4 topics and which keywords he considers under each of them. This introduction was really good and well-founded. After that, he showed and explained a diagram to make the actual comparison.
There is a graph included in the post to help make his point in comparing the three languages (PHP, Ruby, and Java) on how well they can perform. PHP bested the rest in Dev Speed and Maintainability, but lost out in Dev Tools and Scaling abilities. Tobias has a few disagreements with Tim's findings, particularly on the topics of Dev Speed and Maintainability.

Facebook has a "memorial" option which is supposed to be used to help manage the page of someone who has died.
People don't generally leave behind their Facebook passwords when they die, so their Facebook accounts continue on. The memorial state essentially turns your profile into a virtual shrine.
This is a kind, thoughtful gesture from Facebook to address a growing issue for the social network.
Well, no good deed goes unpunished, as they say.
BuzzFeed's Katie Notopoulos has figured out that you can use the "memorial" option to totally screw over a friend and lock them out of their account.
To turn someone's account into the "memorial" state, all you have to do is enter their account URL, say if you're a friend or family member, and then paste in a URL to an obituary for the person. The trick is that Facebook has let down its standards and you can paste in an obituary for anyone, as long as the names are the same.
WARNING: We don't recommend that you do this. It's rude and annoying. The only reason we're covering it is so that you can be aware that other jerks might do this to you.
BuzzFeed got in touch with Facebook and was given this response: "we try to take all necessary precautions when processing user requests and provide an appeals process for any possible mistake we may make."

It is located in west of France near Saint-Malo and their main business is extraction of dimension stone, industrial processing and partner services. The company have more than 40 years of experience and their granite all over the world. SO.CA.L is operating two granite quarries especially for dimension stone production, which represents 85% of their total revenues. SO.CA.Ls two sites represents 30 hectares of concession, 8 of which are in operation. Annual production reaches 6 to 7,000 m3 per year with two colors of granite. To reach their production volumes which have been multiplied by five in 25 years, the sites are largely equipped with six hydraulic drilling machines, six mechanical shovels, four loaders and several dumpers.
Thirty-two experienced employees, including about twenty in the quarry, assure this production. The Lanhélin has been in operation since around 1880 and is delivering one of the most famous French granites. The SpeedROC 2F from Atlas Copco replaced the electrically powered Zoomrail that was located between the two quarries; SO.CA.L and Centravenir. Ideal for DSI quarries, the SpeedROC 2F is equipped with two well-proven hydraulic rock drills. It assures fast and intuitive positioning and high speed drilling, which provides an impressive boost in productivity. The 360° rotatable boom swing saves time in both positioning and tramming. The design of the SpeedROC 2F, a four-wheel drive rig, makes it a stable partner for fast, steady movement even in difficult terrains. It is suitable both for vertical and optional horizontal drilling.
For even safer drilling, it is designed with four support legs that ensures the stability of the machine even when it is used to the maximum of its capacity. The company SO.CA.L is very satisfied with their investment which allows them to optimize their drilling.

I am actually in shock... I was sure it was going to be Angie and someone else in the final! I haven't even considered a finale without her!
I didn't know that Angie has a hearing problem. I think that a lot of people (me included) didn't vote because we thought she was a shoe-in. :*(I haven't felt this bad in a long time. Melinda Dolittle should have had a chance.. she didn't She didn't fit the marketing model. IMO. Jessica Sanchez was another who didn't make it but at least she made it to the final two. I really don't care about watching next week. Either one have their own good and bad points but they weren't my favorite and my interest has died. The only good thing is that Angie can now do her own thing and she will do just fine!

With every like and heartbreaking comment, and if everyone of them voted at least 50 times, I think we could have a 100 million votes for Angie alone.

Facebook is fine-tuning the popular social networking site's privacy features yet again.
The company on Wednesday unveiled changes to its privacy controls, including 'Privacy Shortcuts' aimed at making it easier to adjust settings.
"Up until now, if you wanted to change your privacy and timeline controls on Facebook , you would need to stop what you're doing and navigate through a separate set of pages," a company blog post said.
No more. From now on, Facebook said, a user can just to a toolbar for settings based on such questions as "Who can see my stuff?" "Who can contact me?" and "How do I stop someone from bothering me?"
It will now also be (theoretically) a bit harder for advertisers and other parties from using private data to "personalize your experience."
In the past, users were asked if it's okay to use their information to personalize the experience and if it's okay to post what they're doing to Facebook. Now, those two questions will be asked separately.
So you can say it's okay to use your info to 'personalize' whatever you want to do, but you can also decline to let that app post what you're doing on Facebook.
Given how Facebook's privacy settings and features keep changing, causing some confusion among members, the company said it is also adding "in-context notices throughout Facebook."
"We've created a series of messages to help you understand, in context, that the content you hide from your timeline may still appear in news feed, search and other places," the post said.

Bulldogs Continue Efforts to Save Lives
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The woman that inspired the drives was gone, but her spirit clearly remained as Yale Athletics hosted its annual Mandi Schwartz Marrow Donor Registry Drive Thursday at Commons. Mandi, the women's ice hockey center whose battle with cancer helped draw record-setting numbers of people to Yale's first two drives, had passed away just 18 days before Thursday's drive. With her tragic story still fresh in everyone's minds, the Bulldogs banded together and added nearly 900 people to the Be The Match Registry in Mandi's honor. It was the second biggest drive of its kind, trailing only Yale's drive from a year ago.
Larry Ciotti, the retired assistant football coach who started the drives at Yale two years ago and has coordinated them ever since, had a picture of Mandi pinned to his hat as he worked the drive Thursday. A year ago, she had been one of the key members of the drive committee. After first being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in December of 2008 and leaving for treatment back home in Saskatchewan, Mandi had returned to New Haven in January 2010 after several rounds of chemotherapy put her in remission.
But she relapsed right before the 2010 drive, and never was able to return to New Haven before passing away in Saskatchewan earlier this month.
Still, Mandi's spirit was evident in the fact that hundreds of people showed up to swab their cheeks to provide DNA samples Thursday, hoping for the chance to be a genetic match for a patient in need of a transplant.
The drives had been named in Mandi's honor shortly before she passed away. Every year, thousands of people of all ages, like her, are diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. For many of them, a marrow transplant (or cord blood transplant) from a genetically matched donor is the best hope for a cure. Seventy percent of people do not have a donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a match to save their life.
Mandi's absence was felt throughout the day, but the knowledge that she continues to inspire others to save lives remained.
"It was bittersweet," Ciotti said. "Bitter in the fact that she wasn't here. She was here last year and was involved all the way up until the day of the drive, when she had to go home to begin chemotherapy. But today was sweet in the fact that it shows her memory lives on, and her sense of hope lives on."
With each passing year that the Yale athletics department does these drives, the challenge grows. Everyone who joins the registry remains in it, so after setting the record with 704 registrants in 2009 and breaking it last year with 921, the Bulldogs had crossed more than 1,600 people off the list of potential donors to sign up. And yet, they still managed to post remarkable numbers on Thursday. The final unofficial total was 869.
Be The Match Registry representative Chris Mulcahy, who helped coordinate Yale's drive for the second year in a row and works with other drives throughout the New England area, put the Bulldogs' achievement in context.
"I have done more than 800 of these drives, and the Yale drives remain, by far, the biggest," he said. "The next largest one, other than Yale, was about 435 people, so that really puts some perspective on these drives."
In addition to Ciotti's personal tribute, there were signs throughout the drive of the impact Mandi had. Her No. 17 jersey hung on the wall, and her photo was on posters and signs all over campus. Some of the volunteers at the event wore the No. 17 Yale Hockey t-shirts that had been produced as part of fundraisers for her over the past two years.
Mandi's women's ice hockey teammates have been a part of the drives ever since the first one. The drives are part of the nationwide "Get in the Game. Save a Life." campaign that includes roughly 30 college football programs. At Yale, Mandi's battle inspired the women's ice hockey team to join the football team's efforts to lead the drive. In addition to volunteering on the day of the drive, team members were responsible for signing up six donors each in advance of the drive.
For Mandi's teammates, Thursday capped an emotional time that included a trip to Wilcox, Sask., for her funeral on Apr. 8. There was also a memorial service at Yale on Wednesday, the eve of the drive.
"We left Wilcox feeling incredibly inspired and motivated," said junior forward Aleca Hughes. "We wanted to embrace Mandi's strength, which she showed throughout her battle. We felt as if that had been passed on to us. It has been an emotional journey, but an event like this was an opportunity to put our emotions to use for a great cause."
Facing the challenge of finding hundreds of new registrants, the Bulldogs had to get creative. With so many sophomores, junior and seniors already in the registry from the two previous drives, the Bulldogs knew that they needed to target the freshman class in particular. Thus, a challenge was issued to see which of the 12 residential colleges could get the most freshmen registered. Congratulations are in order to Saybrook, which finished at the head of the pack with 30, edging out Trumbull (26), Pierson (25) and Ezra Stiles (24).
Preparations for the drive began months earlier and paid dividends on Thursday. In addition to the football and women's ice hockey teams, the field hockey team joined in leading this year's drive, and the Bulldogs as a whole made a point of reaching out to as many different campus groups as possible.
"We knew we had a big challenge in front of us," Hughes said. "But by meeting early, we were able to figure out ways to bring together different groups. We had to get out of the confines of just the communities we had reached last year. Getting the residential colleges involved and getting the graduate schools involved was key. It was great that we added the field hockey team this year. We had a really passionate committee."
While each progressive year brings new challenges in terms of adding new people, there are some unique opportunities that having a history of drives does provide. One of those is the fact that the Bulldogs can now point to those lives that have been saved by matches found through previous drives. And in Yale's case, one of the people who made a life-saving donation was able to work Thursday's drive. Lexy Adams, a sophomore on the field hockey team, donated stem cells to a patient with cancer over Christmas break.
Recognizing her unique role in the efforts to increase drive participation, Adams composed an e-mail that she sent to various groups on campus explaining exactly how rewarding -- and easy -- the donation process was.
"Lexy did a beautiful job communicating to all of us what it was like to be a match," Hughes said. "She was able to tell us what it really means to be involved in something like this. It wasn't just another number; this was personal."
On Thursday, Adams camped out at the main entrance to Commons and helped encourage passersby to sign up for the registry.
"Having someone like Lexy, who was a match and has donated, was a huge help," Ciotti said. "She was able to tell her story to the media and on YouTube and explain how easy the donation process is. It's nice to have an athlete at your school that has been a match."
The Bulldogs have kept themselves motivated with new goals each year, and Ciotti challenged the teams to sign up 1,100 people in 2011. While that mark proved unreachable, the Bulldogs did want to make sure they finished this year with more registrants than any other college. Villanova has been one of Yale's primary competitors; the "Get in the Game. Save a Life." campaign started there thanks to Wildcats head coach Andy Talley. Ciotti, Talley's friend, brought the campaign to Yale.
Villanova had held its drive last Friday and registered approximately 640 donors, so the Bulldogs took aim at that figure. They blew past the 650 mark at 3:30 p.m., with a half-hour left on the schedule, and kept going long after that. With nearly 100 more people added after the drive was initially scheduled to end, Yale finished at 869.
"We were just a few dozen away from breaking our own record," Ciotti said. "We still had the largest drive in the country, and there have to be some lives that will be saved because of these efforts."
As usual, the traffic ebbed and flowed after a slow start to the day. As classes let out, the crowd in Beinecke Plaza would swell, but the Bulldogs' efficient operation inside Commons kept the lines to a minimum. The Bulldogs came prepared, with 100s of testing kits already assembled. That eliminated the need to put them together on the day of the drive, freeing up space and time. Dozens of volunteers from all three teams staffed the half-dozen stations that potential donors went through to complete the registration process. Others worked the campus, rounding up passersby and pointing them to the registration location.
While the field hockey, football and women's ice hockey teams were the drive leaders, the rest of Yale's athletic teams were all well-represented, either as volunteers or as potential donors. And this year, inspired by Mandi, the Bulldogs even got some help from one of their competitors. At 2:30 p.m., the Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team showed up, jerseys and all. And the Bobcats weren't just there to swab their cheeks. After going through that process, they stuck around to help drum up additional donors.
"Having our cross-town rivals come help out at the drive was special," said Hughes. "It speaks volumes about those players, and about ECAC Hockey in general."
While the number of registrants has been outstanding, the ultimate goal is quality over quantity. The time and cost involved in adding a new individual to the Be The Match Registry is only worth it if the individual is actually willing to donate if called; adding someone to the registry who does not donate if identified as a match does no good for anyone. So far, the Bulldogs have established a track record of success in that category as well. Just a day before the drive, Ciotti learned of a sixth life-saving match that had been identified through Yale's efforts. That person will make a stem cell donation to save someone's life sometime within a month.
"It was quite a boost to get that e-mail," Ciotti said. "It came at an opportune time. Little things like that give you the energy to carry on in the volunteer work that you do."

Schuyler Colfax was the Vice President of the United States under President Ulysses S. Grant. He writes about the increase in the United States population in the glowing terms of being worth more than gold and silver. The United States population was increasing very quickly having grown from more than five million in 1800 to more than 23 million by mid-century. The cause of this growth was from both a high birth-rate and immigration. His prediction is that in less than ten years, the West Coast will rival New England in the number of manufacturing companies and that America will gain more power, resources and opportunities than any other country.
