text: Friday, October 12, 2012 New in the Literature: Eccentric Strengthening for Achilles Tendinopathy (Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2012. Oct 5. [Epub ahead of print]) Eccentric strengthening was more effective than concentric strengthening in reducing pain and improving function in patients with Achilles tendinopathy, say authors of an article published online in American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. Thirty-two men with Achilles tendinopathy were assigned to either the experimental group (n = 16) that performed eccentric strengthening or the control group (n = 16) that performed concentric strengthening for 8 weeks (50 minutes per day, 3 times per week). A visual analog scale, isokinetic muscle testing equipment, the side-step test, and the Sargent jump test were used to assess pain, muscle strength, endurance, and functional fitness factors before and after the intervention. In comparison with the control group, the experimental group showed significant improvement in pain, ankle dorsiflexion endurance, total balance index, and agility after the intervention. However, there was no significant difference in dexterity between the 2 groups. Comments What were the eccentric exercises? Posted by John Marshall, PTA on 10/12/2012 4:34 PM I'd also like to know the eccentric exercises and how they were performed for 50 minutes. Did both groups also perform stretches and any other common treatment techniques? Posted by Luke Gordon on 10/14/2012 1:57 PM I frequently use eccentric exercises with manual resistance on my pediatric and geriatric pts. who are able to understand and tolerate them. I would also like to know the specific exercises that were used in the study. Posted by Kathy Gamble, PTA on 10/14/2012 2:23 PM What about a group that did both eccentric and concentric exercises - you know, "normal" exercise? I just hope this is one small part of a group of studies being done. Posted by Sean on 10/15/2012 10:24 AM Received an order for eccentric exercise on a 72 year old thinly muscled female tennis player who is de-conditioned. She has C/S and L/S spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and had a dog carrying a stick puncture her calf which led to a whopping cellulitis doing some ms. damage to her soleus and had some Achilles' tendonopathy along with it. Long story short, after a year of no interventions, her ankle orthopedist wanted eccentric Achilles' tendon strengthening per the relevant research he cited. Nowhere in the literature are there studies of septagenarians doing eccentric Achilles' tendon strengthening after pathologic infection to surrounding soft tissue. Easily could tear her Achilles. Perhaps someone with less experience following a "protocol" would have done this. Not me. Not in my 35 years experience. 1/3 research, 1/3 clinician experience, 1/3 patient values. That's how I learned "Best Evidence." In 2 months, 2-3x/wk of 90 minute sessions, she has progressed nicely with concentric strengthening, passive and active stretching, soft tissue mobilization, post modalities to reduce pain, swelling and reduction of fibrotic soft tissue/scarring in the area. She was told she had muscle damage and at best would have residual scar tissue. Well, why chance a tear if she was going to have scar tissue anyway. Meanwhile, I teased that soleus deeply everywhich way to Sunday and have a 1cm defect remaining from a 10 cm defect. Maybe she wouldn't have torn under eccentric loading, but I wouldn't do it. Best of luck to those of you that would have! Larry Greenberg, PT, MS, M.Ed. Posted by Larry Greenberg on 10/15/2012 12:44 PM

"Safety first" isn't a buzz phrase at ExpressJet. It's a culture we take seriously every day, every flight.
ExpressJet team members are supported through a strong corporate commitment to safety that includes ExpressJet's safety mission to reduce operational risk and support safe operations. This is accomplished through two well-developed industry strategies:
ExpressJet puts our safety philosophy into action by implementing proven technology and programs that foster our strong safety culture. In many cases, ExpressJet's safety programs are voluntary and go above and beyond industry standards.
Safety Management System (SMS)
ExpressJet was one of the first regional airlines to implement the Safety Management System (SMS) approach to safety. This industry best practice manages safety risks by identifying hazards and mitigating risks within a safety system defined by policies, risk assessment, assurance and promotion.
Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)
The Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) is a voluntary safety program that allows employees to communicate safety concerns and human errors identified during the performance of daily operations. Appropriate "safety action" is taken with every report following a review by a designated committee. Aggregate analyses are conducted to identify risk and potential trends. ExpressJet has independent ASAP programs for our pilots, flight attendants, dispatchers and mechanics.
Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA)
Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) is a voluntary safety program that involves the routine downloading of Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) data for de-identified aggregate analysis of routine line operations. The results of the analysis offer insight into potential safety risks, procedural compliance, aircraft health monitoring and operational efficiencies.
Line Operational Safety Audit (LOSA)
The Line Operational Safety Audit (LOSA) is a collaborative safety audit that places trained observers on flight deck jumpseats to collect safety-related data on environmental conditions, operational complexity and flight crew performance. The data are controlled, reviewed, analyzed and reported on by the LOSA Collaborative. This safety initiative has been recognized as an industry best practice for flight deck safety.
Safety Investigations
ExpressJet possesses the expertise and technology to conduct internal investigations as well as supporting regulatory requirements. Should an event occur requiring investigation to determine probable cause, and to mitigate the risk of a similar event, ExpressJet is prepared.
IOSA Registry
ExpressJet is an associate member of IATA, and has secured its place on the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registry since September 2006. IOSA is considered the benchmark for global safety management in airlines. IOSA registration requires ExpressJet to participate in bi-annual audits conducted by industry experts trained to evaluate and assess the operational management and control systems of an airline.

After the amazing NES and SNES, people expected the N64 to run away with the industry and put Sony and Sega in the shade. It didn't happen. Nintendo decided to stick with carts while its rivals picked cheaper discs, and this not only put customers off but also made software houses think twice about supporting the system. Losing former ally Squaresoft was possibly the biggest blow to Nintendo's pride, and the company went on to produce the best selling Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation.
Having said all that, the N64 was home to gaming experiences that simply were not possible on rival machines. Games like Goldeneye, Zelda, Starfox 64 and of course Mario 64 were (and still are) solid-gold classics. With Virtual Console support, now is probably a good time to reassess this often misunderstood console.

Hello and happy Monday morning! For those who celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Easter Sunday and holiday weekend. We had gorgeous weather here in North Carolina, and I also had a couple of very productive sewing days. I'll have to share what I worked on this weekend on another day (no pictures yet!), but in the meantime I have a WONDERFUL quilt finish to share with you.
I recently completed this quilt, and it has immediately become one of my favorites. I've loved the Outfox the Fox quilt pattern by Lizzy House since she released it last year, and a few months back I had the idea to make one using the awesome Miscellany fabric line by Julia Rothman for Cloud 9 Fabrics.
Just for fun, I added a few of the Miscellany scraps to my binding strip, and positioned them so that they'd run along the top edge of the quilt. It's an added bonus for the person laying under the quilt to catch a glimpse of the prints as he (or she, if I let someone else use it : ) pulls it up underneath his chin!
Like the quilting? It was done by Bethany Pease from bethanyquilts.com (who, by the way, just released her first book, Modern Quilting Designs, with C&T Publishing. Congratulations, Bethany!)
So, are you as big a fun of the big, bold, and modern Outfox the Fox pattern as I am? Well, today's your lucky day! Lizzy herself sent me an extra copy of the pattern to give away to a Quilt Dad reader, and I'll even throw in a charm pack of Lizzy's Outfoxed fabric line that I have on hand. Simply leave a comment on this post and let me know what fabric you'd love to make Outfox the Fox with, including your choice of background color. I'm curious to hear all of your fabric and color ideas!

When they know they're "going to the doctor," many kids worry a bit about the visit. Whether they're going to see their primary care doctor or a specialist for a routine exam, illness, or special problem, kids are likely to have fears, and some may even feel guilty.
Some fears and guilty feelings surface easily, so that kids can talk about them. Others are kept secret and remain unspoken. Here's how to help your child express these fears and overcome them.
Things that often top kids' lists of concerns about going to the doctor include:
Also, kids often have feelings of guilt: They may believe that their illness or condition is punishment for something they've done or neglected to do. Kids who feel guilty also might believe that examinations and medical procedures are part of their punishment.
Encourage your kids to express their fears, and then address them in words that they understand and aren't likely to misinterpret. Here are some practical ways to do this:
If the upcoming appointment is for a regular health checkup, explain that it's "a well-child visit. The doctor will check on how you're growing and developing, and also ask questions and examine you to make sure that your body is healthy. And you'll get a chance to ask any questions you want to about your body and your health." Also, stress that all healthy kids go to the doctor for such visits.
If the visit is to diagnose and treat an illness or other condition, explain — in very non-scary language — that the doctor "needs to examine you to find out how to fix this and help you get better."
It's wise to prepare kids by giving them advance notice of a visit so it's not a surprise. When explaining the purpose of the visit, talk about the doctor in a positive way to help promote the relationship between your child and the doctor.
A child who is going to the doctor because of an illness or other condition might have unspoken feelings of guilt about it. Discuss the illness or condition in neutral language and reassure your child: "This isn't caused by anything you did or forgot to do. Illnesses like this happen to many kids. Aren't we lucky to have doctors who can find the causes and who know how to help us get well?"
If you, your spouse, other relatives, or friends had (or have) the same condition, share this information. Knowing that others have been through the same thing can help ease a child's guilt and fear.
If your child needs a doctor's attention because of a condition that resulted in ridicule or rejection by other kids (or even by adults), you'll need to double your efforts to relieve shame and blame. Head lice, embarrassing scratching caused by pinworm, and involuntary daytime wetting or bedwetting are examples of conditions that are often misunderstood by others.
Even if you've been very supportive, reassure your child again, before the visit to the doctor, that the condition is not his or her fault and that many kids have had it.
Of course, if your child has suffered an injury after disregarding safety rules, it's wise to point out (as matter-of-factly as possible) the cause-and-effect relationship between the action and the injury. However, you should still try to relieve guilt. You could say, "You probably didn't understand the danger involved in doing that, but I'm sure you understand now, and I know you won't do it that way again."
If your child repeatedly disobeys rules and becomes injured, speak to your doctor. This sort of worrisome behavior pattern needs a closer look.
In any of these cases, though, be sure to explain, especially to young kids, that going to the doctor for an examination is not a punishment. Help your kids understand that adults go to doctors just like kids do and that the doctor's job is to help people stay healthy and fix any problems.
Children learn best during play, and this may be a time when they feel most comfortable asking any questions regarding fears they may have. You can use a doll or teddy bear to show a young child how the nurse will measure height and weight or demonstrate parts of the routine exam.
Many children's books are available to help illustrate the doctor visit. It also helps to use role-playing to show how the doctor might:
It's important for parents to let their kids know that what they've taught them about the privacy of their bodies is still true, but that doctors, nurses, and parents must sometimes examine all parts of the body. Emphasize, though, that these people are the only exceptions. And reassure your child that you will be in the exam room with him or her.
If your child is going to the doctor because of an illness or medical condition or is going to visit a specialist, you might not even know what to expect during the exam.
When you're calling to make the appointment, you can ask to speak to the doctor or a nurse to find out, in a general way, what will take place during the office visit and exam. Then you can explain some of the procedures and their purpose in gentle language, appropriate to your child's age level. Your child will feel more secure understanding what's going to take place and why it's necessary.
Be honest, but not brutally honest. Let your child know if a procedure is going to be somewhat embarrassing, uncomfortable, or even painful, but don't go into alarming detail.
Reassure your child that you'll be there and that the procedure is truly necessary to fix — or find out how to fix — the problem. (Adolescents may prefer to be examined without a parent or with only a same-sex parent or same-sex chaperone present. That preference should be honored.)
Kids can cope with discomfort or pain more easily if they're forewarned, and they'll learn to trust you if you're honest with them. If you don't know much about the illness or condition, admit that but reassure your child that you'll both be able to ask the doctor questions about it. Write down your child's questions.
If a blood sample will be taken during or after the examination, be careful how you explain this. Some young kids worry that "taking blood" means that all their blood will be taken. Let your child know that the body contains a great deal of blood and that only a very little bit of it (usually no more than 1 or 2 teaspoons [about 10 milliliters]) will be taken for testing.
Again, make certain that your child understands that the visit, with its embarrassing or uncomfortable procedures, is not a punishment for any misbehavior or disobedience.
Because your doctor is your best ally in helping your kids cope with health examinations, it's important to carefully select a doctor. Of course, you want one who's knowledgeable and competent. However, you also want a doctor who understands kids' needs and fears and who communicates easily with them in a friendly manner, without talking down to them.
In the course of a physical exam, the doctor inspects, taps, and probes various parts of the body — procedures that may be embarrassing (or even physically uncomfortable) for kids. A good relationship between doctor and patient can minimize these feelings.
If your child's doctor seems critical, uncommunicative, disinterested, or unsympathetic, do not be afraid to change doctors. Ask for recommendations from other parents in your area or from other doctors whose opinions you trust.
If your child's illness or condition requires a specialist, ask your doctor to recommend someone who's knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. After all, adults want these characteristics in their own doctors, so as a parent you should be your child's advocate in seeking medical care.

Some years ago, a prominent financial planner enthusiastically described the "innovative" career path for young advisors he had created in his firm. "Every new advisor starts as an executive assistant," he said proudly. "Then they move up to client service, followed by some time in investment and portfolio research. After three years, they finally get to be an associate advisor, supporting a lead advisor." As my stunned brain was searching for an appropriate response, I wondered what his turnover rate was among young CFPs who started out doing clerical work. Before I could speak, he proudly provided the answer: "This system weeds out people who can't make it to associate advisor." No kidding.
To confirm my suspicions, I called a couple of young advisors who had gone to work in his firm. They both hated the job. In fact, one was no longer there. The other one said he wasn't far behind: "I got straight A's in financial planning school. I have the technical knowledge, but I'm bad at repetitive work, and I'm bored out of my mind. Consequently, I'm failing for the first time in my life, and it's starting to undermine my confidence that I should be a financial planner."
Contrary to the pride this owner-advisor had in his system, I often use this story as the classic example of what not to do to train, motivate and retain young advisors. In fact, in our client firms, we take the opposite approach. After a six-week firm orientation period, we have our associate advisors sit in client meetings with a lead advisor for their first one to two years in a structure we call diamond teams. They take notes, create follow-up to-do lists, update client profiles and, most importantly, learn how professional advisors work with their clients. To make this work, and to provide the maximum support so all of our advisors at every level can focus entirely on serving clients, we create what we call centralized client service and operations departments. They are an essential element in building successful firms.
The idea behind centralized client service is that most client contact and virtually all clerical and back-office functions can be handled more effectively and efficiently by a trained, dedicated staff rather than professional advisors. We found that using young advisors to perform some or all of these duties (as many firms do) is a lose-lose proposition. Because they are neither trained nor motivated to perform these functions, they aren't very good at them. Then, when they actually do start to gain some experience, they are promoted to an advisory role, and a new crop of untrained, inexperienced young advisors takes their place. Even if they are promoted, the whole time they're performing clerical duties, they'll be looking for another firm that will let them do what they were trained to: be an advisor. This is one of the primary reasons for the astronomical industry-wide turnover rate among young advisors.
Instead, we've found that essential jobs at advisory firms such as contact with custodians or broker-dealers and other vendors, keeping the technology systems fully operational, entering financial planning data into software, maintaining the CRM files and routine client contact are all better handled by people who are specifically hired and trained to do them well. In our client firms, all the nonprofessional office staff works in the centralized client service department, sending the message that good client service is everyone's responsibility—from the receptionist to the owners.
All of our firms have dedicated client service specialists whose sole responsibility is to ensure that every client feels they are getting the best, most personalized service possible. In addition, the vast majority of the CSS positions are filled with nonprofessional talent such as administrative people and client service or operational representatives who have virtually no desire to become professional advisors. Instead, the career path of client service specialists is (depending on the size of the firm) to supervisor, manager and, ultimately, chief operating officer.
It's a little hard to generalize about how to build a client service center, but as a rule of thumb, every firm, no matter how small, should have one support person and add another when it reaches $750,000 in revenue. A new support person should be added for every additional $750,000. When a firm operates with three service specialists, one should be designated the supervisor. When you have six specialists, you'll probably need a manager over the whole center. As the service center grows, the teams will naturally begin to specialize, usually into client contact, back-office and technology, each with their own supervisors and, eventually, managers.
The key to creating an effective client service department is training: not just on what each job entails, but about the mission of the firm, its goals and its approach to creating the right client experience. Because we hire people specifically for client service work, who enjoy the back-office work and want to stay in these positions for the long term, we have limited turnover and, therefore, limited training. In fact, most of our CSS training is completed in a six-week course built around the company operations manual. In general, here is the training process we go through:
Week 1: A general overview of basic company procedures and technology used in the firm. To understand the firm, every employee needs to understand all the things it does and how it does them. They need to be familiar with the firm operations manual, see that it contains detailed instructions for each task and be able to find them when needed. Each CSS also needs to know all of the various programs, apps and websites that the firm uses to deliver client products and services, and how to use them.
Week 2: Understanding the administrative functions, who completes those functions and to whom they should refer each task. To understand their own job, it's essential that each CSS have a good overview of who does what in a firm. Nothing will slow the efficiency of a firm faster than consistently sending the wrong work to the wrong people, or erode client experience faster than referring client inquiries to the wrong people. Smooth operations depend on everyone knowing what everyone's job is.
Week 3: Understanding what experience we want the clients to have with our firm and the types of clients we serve. In his classic business management book "Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies," Jim Collins tells us that the most important goal of successful businesses (from Disney World to McDonald's to UPS) is to deliver a consistent experience to their customers. The first step in delivering consistent experiences to advisory clients is to spell out exactly what experience the firm is striving for and make sure every employee knows what it is.
Week 4: Understanding how we do marketing and appointments with prospective clients. Because the growth of every firm depends on attracting new clients, every employee needs to understand where these new clients come from and how they are introduced to the firm. During this segment we review the experience that the firm wants prospective clients to have.
Week 5: Understanding the new client process. It's also important that every employee understands what needs to happen once prospects have decided to become clients of the firm. Each client's first experiences with their new advisory firm will form the way they see the firm forever. So, it's very important that every employee understands that experience and everything that's involved in delivering it to the clients.
Week 6: Understanding the ongoing client experience the firm delivers—and their role in it. Not until an employee fully understands the mission of the firm, what it does for its clients and the roles of everyone in the firm to deliver those services do we start to train employees in their specific roles.
If you train client service specialists this way, they are able to integrate their work into the overall objectives and processes of the advisory firm. With client services centers—whether they comprise two client service specialists or multiple teams and managers—our goal is to take everything off the desks of our advisors that doesn't pertain to talking to their clients, attracting new clients or managing the firm (in the case of owner-advisors). This makes every advisor more efficient and more focused, and enables associate advisors to focus on learning how to be lead advisors.

Erno Dohnanyi
Dohnanyi short biography
A very important Hungarian pianist and composer, Erno Dohnanyi played a principal part in the establishment of the musical and artistic life of Hungary. Dohnanyi studied music in Budapest refusing going to Vienna (unlike most other musicians of his generation). It is interesting that his younger contemporary, Bela Bartok followed Dohnanyi's example. Dohnanyi openly resisted the association of Hungary with the Nazis of Germany and, therefore, was forced to leave his native country. Dohnanyi settled in America. A versatile composer, Dohnanyi continued the traditional approach to musical form. As a concert pianist Dohnanyi enjoyed very high international reputation.

At the same time, readers of this blog know that I'm also enamored with #!. It's stable, fast, and quite lightweight, yet in almost all respects it's just as easy to use as Linux Mint. Other things in its favor are using Openbox instead of Compiz (meaning I get to play with cool transparency effects without worrying about titlebars disappearing), having a good way to upgrade packages and the system as it's based on Debian (pointing the package manager to new repositories and then upgrading usually works on Debian but not on Ubuntu), and having a working Adobe Flash plugin that lets me use Hulu and AV by AIM out-of-the-box even in the 64-bit version. The biggest downside will be the lack of niceties like the Linux Mint menu and tools along with the corresponding need to do some more manual configuration.
Other options include Pinguy OS 11.04 and Linux Mint 11 "Katya" GNOME, which I know work well with Hulu and AV by AIM but which won't be supported for as long.
So what should I do? Should I stick with my tried-and-true, familiar Linux Mint 9 LTS "Isadora" GNOME? Or should I switch to #! 10 "Statler"? Or should I switch to one of the other alternatives I listed? Or should I switch to another distribution entirely? (Please note that I'm trying to minimize manual configuration; I'm trying to get stuff done on my computer, after all. Therefore, no Gentoo/Slackware/Arch/et cetera for me, but derivatives may be welcome. Also, Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X are not welcomed as suggestions. I'm not going back to Microsoft Windows, and I'm not buying an Apple product.) Please let me know in the comments!

Unfortunately, the most important questions haven't been answered in their FAQ:
- Is Qt Creator a replacement for KDevelop? Why didn't you rather improve KDevPlatform in order to reach your objectives for Qt Creator?
- Will Qt Creator be managed as a true open source project inviting contributions and code exchange with external developers, or will it stay under the tight grip of Qt Software employees?
Yeah, the interface seems to be reasonably slick. But the duplication of effort and NIH-ilisms that are happening on the Qt side these days are worrying. They seem to come up with replacements for widely used KDE software all of the time recently, instead of joining those communities and bending the software to their needs.
Really, if we've already got a code-highlighting text editor part, a powerful language framework, a base platform for creating custom IDE user interfaces, and whatnot, why do they need to whip up all of this by themselves? Just so that it's Qt-only and not depending on KDE (which is just as cross-platform as Qt itself is)?
I mean, c'mon Qt people, this isn't a library that needs to be dual-licensed. There's no reason to make a Nokia-only IDE when we could be working together on a single lightweight Qt/C++/cross-platform solution with a shared code base. Guess I just don't get it.
By Jakob Petsovits at Fri, 2008/10/31 - 5:00am
Re: FAQ
What I want to say is not that I worry about KDevelop losing mindshare to other IDEs (if those are indeed working better, power to them). I just don't like the current trend that more and more of our software stack moves from community governance to a single controlling entity, replacing existing openly-developed components with a closed in-house development (even if the sources are published as Free Software afterwards).
For Qt as a library, that model makes a lot of sense and works very well in most cases. For applications further up in the stack, it unnecessarily prevents cooperation between similar projects where they could share libraries or even merge altogether. I hope the Qt Software department pays attention to governance issues and keeps an eye on integration with existing software rather than creating new base technology for the fun of it.
By Jakob Petsovits at Fri, 2008/10/31 - 5:00am
Re: FAQ
Qt Software looks into ways how to further open up the develop process to external contributors where it makes sense. I too would like to see this for Qt Creator. There's more room on the in-side, too, we do have open positions on all engineering sites. Want to hack upstream on Qt? Don't whine, come and join us.
However, there's no black and white. What you call "openly-developed components" very often means "governed by unwritten rules", or "not governed at all". In some cases when people say this it simply means "governed by me". This happens e.g. when a few KHTML hackers argue for basing the entire KDE web experience on their work instead of the work of the greater webkit community.
All successful open source projects are governed by strong maintainers with a clear vision, group or individuals. You can't just go ahead and submit stuff upstream. Projects where you can do that are in a state of bit rot, or feature rot, or both.
About KDevelop: we are the biggest commercial supporter of KDevelop, and we have core KDevelop contributors on our team. There's was room for two editors before, there will be room for two IDEs. Seriously, I do believe we will see code sharing on the refactoring/c++-engine side.
By Matthias Ettrich at Fri, 2008/10/31 - 5:00am
good news
"Seriously, I do believe we will see code sharing on the refactoring/c++-engine side."
This is good to hear as this is all I pretty much require out of an IDE. Otherwise I'm happy to use Kate. Not knocking the integrated debugging, designer, qmake/cmake manager I'm just not interested in them. I'm happy to open up new applications and I seriously doubt that a cmake manager will ever be as easy as editing CMakeLists.txt (at least for someone who already knows cmake OK, like me), let alone be complete.
The fact that Java editors like Eclipse have absolutely awesome parsers is actually my favorite "feature" of Java. Would be great if the C++ parsers and refactorers approached that level of completeness. Its the main reason I look forward to KDevelop 4, since I understand they've done a lot of work with theirs.

You don't have active KDevelop contributors in your rows. This isn't a problem to me at all, but it is a fact.

Re: FAQ
Well - Trolltech clearly was the biggest commercial supporter of KDevelop :-) Don't forget that Trolltech sponsored two KDevelop meetings.
By the way, I agree with Matthias. I'm positive that at end of the story KDevelop and Qt Creator will share some code in the C++ engine.

By Matt Rogers at Fri, 2008/10/31 - 5:00am
Re: FAQ
It's not practical for the C++ parser to be uncoupled from the KDevPlatform? I don't quite understand what your saying.
By Ian Monroe at Fri, 2008/10/31 - 5:00am
Re: FAQ
The more complicated part is not the parser itself, but what you do with the data after the parser processed it. In KDevelop we put it into a language-independent structure called DUChain, which is a part of KDevPlatform. You cannot share code that works on that structure with code that works on another structure, because there just isn't anything to share in that case.

To use your own words (cause they do match but I wouldn't have used them by myself cause they are a bit to direct for me);

Why not support Eclipse?
Honestly, neither KDevelop nor Qt creator cannot copete with the last Eclipse CDT 5 release. Eclipse+CDT might not have been the best choice in the past, but now with version 5.0 it beats every other Open Source IDE I know in terms of C++ support. Trolltech should invest resources into Eclipse integration of Qt, joining their community reusing all the great infrastructure already existing instead of reinventing the wheel another time.

By Paulo C at Sat, 2008/11/01 - 5:00am
Re: Why not support Eclipse?
...Troll, yes, and a lame one. Why should I care that much which language the IDE I use is written in? I care about productivity. With Java 1.6, Java apps are reasonably fast. The memory footprint might not be optimal, but honestly, just buy another GB of RAM, it's dead-cheap these days. Using another editor or IDE just because it saves you some bucks for hardware is stupid, at least when you make your money in software development. The hardware upgrade pays itself in few days or even hours.
By Hanno at Sun, 2008/11/02 - 5:00am
Re: Why not support Eclipse?
There is this thing called "marginal utility". The effective price of Eclipse is higher because it uses Java which has a higher footprint. For most people in Eclipse's target group, that doesn't make a difference. But it does exist and will cause some people _at_the_margin_ to look for alternatives.
Even with the extreme ease of opening up a case, risking a static mishap, and installing new RAM, there is still a cost to the user. Even if you came over and did it for him, there is still a cost to the user. Not a cost to use, but a cost to him. If his total cost reaches a certain threshold, then he will look for alternatives.

Nice Trolls
I've just tried it a bit now and it I already like it! I have not done any Qt/kde development since 2.x and it didn't take long for me to do a little test app thanks to the intellisense. I'm mostly using Visual Studio nowadays together with vim for repetitive tasks.
In my slot I wrote "ui.m_lst." and it auto corrected it to "ui.m_lst->". Sweet!
There are lots of stuff that needs to be done in order to make it more usable but I do believe you are on the right track!

By Paul Eggleton at Tue, 2008/11/04 - 6:00am
A dream come true!
While writing Qt4 based software at work on an XP I used MS VC 6.0. Adequate but buggy at times. I had tried Eclipse but it never worked well for me as a Qt4 dev tool. KDevelop was, for me, even less useful than Eclipse.
On Linux I tried a couple Qt specific tools like QDevelop but wasn't satisfied with their approach, so I settled on using Kate and Kdbg. Kate has pseudo code competition and no library lookup, but it made coding easy and fast.
I look forward to playing with this new and much needed tool. I can see now that it will replace MSVC on my VISTA side and become my Qt4 dev tool on my Linux side.

After I migrated from Gnome to KDE4 because of it awesomeness, and started programming in Qt4 and discovered it's awesomeness too, I entered a never ending quest for finding a good Qt IDE
KDevelop seemed to be nice, but I actually hate kde3 interfaces because they are all so much cluttered (no offences people), and tried installing KDevelop4 several times, but never got to work
Newer versions of Eclipse CDT have excelent support for c++, but it's slow, it's java, looks very ugly on my kde4 setup and it's horrible on small screens like my Eee
Never got Eduiuk to work correctely, and never could pronounce it correctely too
Got MonkeyStudio to work, but it has a very confusing interface, and very cluttered too, see, I'm a user interface programmer, so I just hate to use bad implemented interfaces
The last I tried was QDevelop, it's very simple, it's code-complete is very limited, but it's acceptable, because it's small, fast and runs well on my Eee
So I always had a horrible experience with Qt IDEs, the only reason I continued developing on it it's because the awesomeness of the toolkit (GraphicsView just rules for Zoomable User Interfaces), and this Greenhouse IDE it's for me, like someone sad, a godsend, it's easy to use, it has a very nice interface, a very nice debugger, a very nice and fast "fast switch"* and it has a plus: a beautiful logo! Fantastic!

This is just my opinion, don't get mad at me if you are a developer of one those other IDEs for Qt, I'm not saying that they are bad, I'm just saying that they didn't work for me, while Qt Creator works very well

Top down development arrangements? HAHAHA. You have no idea how Qt Software internally works, or any successful software company for that matter. Sad thing, you will probably also never find out.

Re: Why is closed source software announced on the
I respect the work that both Derek and QT have done for open source greatly,
I'll try to balance my personal view a bit here.
I come to the dot to read about kde development, new features, programs and all the coolness around it. As for the core principles of the dot i can make an educated guess, but i don't really know what they are. So its hard to see whether this article is inside or outside its scope.
As far as my personal interest goes i can see this new QT IDE fit in nicely. I however can see the merit of a more "conservative" standpoint as well. We really don't want to turn the dot into a well formatted advertising page.
In the end it is probably quite hard to draw the line,

Made from the Amy Butler pattern, I guess you'd call them protective cases more than bags. I knew I wanted to make one for my brother's girlfriend who recently got a brand new Macbook (not that I'm jealous or anything). While I was buying the materials, I figured I'd go ahead and get enough to make two ... you know, assembly line style.
It opens up and the laptop nestles inside atop a few layers of stabilizer and fusible fleece. I was hoping to have a nice, new Macbook as a prop for my photo, but my work computer will have to do. Again, I'm not jealous or anything.
I was dazzled by the array of Midwest Modern 2 at my local shop and could decide on two exterior / lining combos, but I'm pretty happy with the ones I chose.
So this project really, really pushed me out of my comfort zone. Layers upon layers of canvas duck cloth, extra firm stabilizer, fusible fleece, sew-on Velcro ... it wasn't quite the "quick and easy" project I was hoping for, but I consider it a huge accomplishment not only that I finished, but that the computer fits and the Velcro actually lines up!!

KOLCHAK vs Dark Shadows' BARNABAS COLLINS! KOLCHAK embroiled in the LOVECRAFT Mythos! Secrets of Kolchak's past revealed! PLUS the first ever original Kolchak novella!
Carl Kolchak was TV's first paranormal investigator, albeit a reluctant one. A talented newspaper reporter who used to handle all the big stories, his reputation has taken a hit over the years as his stories became increasingly strange. He is a relentless truth-seeker, no matter how bizarre that truth may be. The fact that no one believes him, and that his stories rarely get printed anymore, only fuels his desire to get to the beating heart of the matter.

Eidos Montreal announced today that Deus Ex: Human Revolution would be following in the footsteps of Mass Effect 3 and Batman: Arkham City by releasing an enhanced "Director's Cut" for the Wii U.
According to a Eurogamer interview, the port will be handled by Straight Right, the same developer that brought Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U. But this new version will have more than just tacked on GamePad controls. The change that's most likely to get Deus Ex fans excited is an overhauled boss battle system, designed to fix what was by far the biggest complaint about the 2011 original (though not everyone hated them).
Players will now be able to kill bosses without firing a single bullet, thanks to additional traps and devices hidden about the room, and new hacking and stealth-centric strategies for each battle. Other gameplay changes include a more generous energy recharge to allow for freer augmentation use and AI tweaks to reflect what was included in the Missing Link DLC.
The Wii U game will also upgrade the graphics by implementing new visual effects that were originally available in the game's Missing Link DLC. In addition, the director's cut will take advantage of the Wii U's added graphical power for effects like fog, enhanced shadows, and anti-aliasing that weren't available on previous console versions. Deus Ex Executive Game Director Jean-Francois Dugas told Eurogamer that these improvements wouldn't have been possible on the Xbox 360 because of a lack of disc space, among other things.
"It's more powerful on the Wii U. Even some of the graphics that were improved already on the 360 for The Missing Link, we were able to go a little bit farther with the Wii U, just because of the hardware. In terms of the shadows, which are smoothed out, it's much different than the Xbox version."
The director's cut will make the requisite use of the Wii U GamePad for features such as an ever-present radar and the ability to scope out enemy stats before engaging them in battle, as well as swipe controls for things like flinging back enemy grenades.
Human Revolution Director's Cut will be coming soon (Amazon briefly listed it as a May 7 release yesterday) and is a Wii U exclusive for the time being; Eidos Montreal won't comment on any plans for other systems. Our own Lee Hutchinson said the news was "almost worth me buying a Wii U for." You might not go that far, but it will still be nice for current Wii U owners to have something new to put in the system, even if it is a slightly improved port of a two-year-old game.

Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCSs) are here to stay, steadily replacing the former generation of centralized version control systems. What are the key concepts to keep in mind as an SCM manager or senior developer to transition from your current system to the new generation? Is it just about the "multi-site" capabilities? Do you need to structure your repositories differently? How is it going to affect your day-to-day operations? Do you need a different mindset?
My goal with this article is to answer these questions and describe how to embrace and get the best out of the new generation of DVCSs.
Not Just About Its Distributed Nature
When we think about DVCSs, the first thing that comes to mind is their ability to work disconnected from a central server. A DVCS is about having a local repository on your machine, from which you can check-in code, branch, and merge locally. You then can push your changes to another server (a central server, a peer system, or whatever configuration you're working on).
The basic operations working in DVCS are those illustrated in Figure 1:
Figure 1: Overview of basic check-in and push in DVCS.
The basic approach is:
- You always work against a local repository
- Check-ins go to the local repository (on your own machine)
- Then you "push" the changes to the remote server
- Or "pull" new changes from the remote server
But, as the title says, DVCS is not just about the "D" in distributed. Distribution is the feature getting the flashy headlines, but the key points behind the paradigm shift are the ones I'm about to describe. The new DVCSs come with several important features, which I'll explain in this article:
- Whole repository versus file revisions
- Consistent and immutable configurations
- Vastly improved merge tracking not only from the functional standpoint, but also performance wise
- Ability to implement well-known (though commonly feared) branching patterns
A File-by-File World View
I used to imagine repository evolution in terms of files evolving separately. Several well-known version control systems taught us to think in the following way: Files evolve separately, with version numbers on their own, and we had the tools to configure them in different ways…even dynamically.
Figure 2 is an illustration of the standard way of looking at file changes might look familiar: The four featured files have different revisions and we can easily check their individual history, diff their different revisions, and also download them to our working areas, which I'll refer to as workspaces from now on (but are also known as views, working copies, and all sort of different names that version control creators use to confuse developers).
Figure 2: Standard way of looking at file changes.
At this point, labels come to the rescue: You can group revisions using a label or tag, which is a means to retrieve the file versions as a group at a later point. So, we can create a "version 1.0" label to mark the revision 1 of foo.c, bar.c rev 2, su.c rev 0, and doc.c rev 1, as Figure 3 shows.
Figure 3: Using tags or labels to group multiple file revisions.
This option enables us to take a snapshot of the entire structure from time to time to be able to create solid points that we can recover later on and use as baselines, checkpoints, or whatever we want to call them.
This file-based approach is great from a power developer point of view because you can do great things such as download to your workspace the revision 0 of foo.c, bar.c rev 3, su.c rev 0, and do.c rev 0, and work with them. But this is flexibility that comes at a cost: What exactly has been downloaded? Did this configuration ever exist as such? Maybe it was never "this way" on any developer workspace, so there's no way the files will work together correctly. Should we even bother with this sort of dynamic configuration then? It is a matter of taste, so I won't be entering this discussion now.
One Revision To Rule Them All
In the DVCS world view, things happen slightly differently. Instead of looking at your history file by file, you get used to checking what happened at a repository level. A key concept is the changeset (or commit), which is not unique to DVCS, but plays a different role. A changeset is a set of files that are checked-in together. A check-in is similar to a database transaction: If you want to check-in four files together, a new changeset grouping the four files will be created only if the check-in succeeds for all four files. Otherwise, the transaction will be rolled back and no new changeset is created. In other words, a changeset is the result of an atomic check-in.
In DVCS, check-ins become first-level players; in fact, they become the centerpiece of the history of a repository. Let's go to our previous example: You create foo.c and bar.c and check them in. Something similar to what is shown in Figure 4 will happen:
Figure 4: A simple check-in.
Suppose "changeset 0" is empty (the root empty changeset), then we've just created changeset 1, containing the two new files we added.
Let's continue and add su.c and do.c, and also make a change on foo.c (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Adding more files.
Now, make another change to foo.c by moving bar.c to foobar/bar.c and also modifying it. Finally, modify do.c, too. Then make another change on bar.c (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Even more changes.
As you can see, we've created exactly the same number of file revisions we did in the "file-by-file history" example discussed earlier, but we're not thinking about file history anymore; rather, we are tracking what happened to our project to our code base as a whole.
The changeset is playing two roles:
- It captures the change made at each step: In changeset 3, I modified 3 files and I also made a move
- It captures a full snapshot of the project at each step, check-in after check-in (and this is one of the key points to keep in mind when moving to DVCS)
What is the purpose of the snapshot? Suppose you want to go back to changeset number 1: If you "download" changeset 1, your workspace will look like Figure 7.
Figure 7: Workspace after downloading changeset 1.
Now, if you go to changeset 3, it will look like Figure 8.
Figure 8: Workspace after downloading changeset 3.
And you can even diff the trees at any point and understand what happened between them. For instance, a diff between cset 3 and 1 will tell us:
- bar.c has been moved to foobar/bar.c
- sudo/su.c and sudo/do.c have been added
- foo.c and bar.c were also modified
The key concept to keep in mind is that each changeset is actually capturing the status of the project at a certain point. When a developer checked-in changeset 3, he had a certain configuration, a certain "tree," and this configuration is recorded in the repository and can be easily recovered.

The most fundamental flaw is that while something like this may be amusing if it was a real life challenge, in comic form, we all know that Randy just thought up some song title combinations. If he couldn't think of a good combination for lesbian voyeurism, he would have come up with something else for Girl to say, after being prompted by some other challenge from Guy. These things are funny when they happen in real life precisely because they are improvised, and so seeing it in comic form will never be funny, no matter how clever it is.
But that is not the only problem! We have the glaringly stilted exposition of "SO I HEAR YOU CAN COMBINE SONG TITLES TO MEET ANY CRAZY DEMAND, EH?" first line. Might as well start The Hound of the Baskervilles with "SO YOU'RE SCARED OF A BIG OLD DOG THAT'S ON YOUR PROPERTY?" it just thrusts the reader into this horribly contrived scenario that doesn't make any sense or have any resemblance to real life - and the terribly awkward phrasing of that sentence is an effect of this.
Obviously this comic fits all the usual xkcd problems of creepy (take normal songs and make them lesbian for me! and have me WATCHING.) but on the second one, hell, it's not even lesbian. You don't know what gender the narrator is. Sure the girl is female, but then any love song to a girl would become lesbian. You only have one and a half examples, here, randy!
Look: We all know what happened. You thought of this one only mildly amusing mash-up and constructed a comic to use it as a punchline. And forced yourself to think of a second title, and failed to make it fit the category. Good job! you do not understand comics.
In other news, hey! Randall posted something funny on his blog! ha ha, but it was just because it was a quote from Joey Comeau.
heads up by the way that next week i will be off to Mysterious Lands yet again, and everyone's best friend Commenter Jay will be taking over posting. I don't think he's posted yet so play nice everyone.


text: Tuesday, August 07, 2012 Weight Training Associated With Lower Risk of Diabetes A new study published August 6 in Archives of Internal Medicine finds that weight training is associated with a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes, independent of aerobic exercise. Researchers conducted a prospective study of 32,002 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study observed from 1990 to 2008. They obtained the weekly time spent on weight training and aerobic exercise (including brisk walking, jogging, running, bicycling, swimming, tennis, squash, and calisthenics/rowing) through questionnaires at baseline and biennially during follow-up. In the 18-year follow-up, the researchers documented 2,278 new cases of type 2 diabetes. In multivariable-adjusted models, they observed a dose-response relationship between an increasing amount of time spent on weight training or aerobic exercise and lower risk of the disease. Engaging in weight training or aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes per week was independently associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes—34% and 52%, respectively. Men who engaged in aerobic exercise and weight training for at least 150 minutes per week had the greatest reduction in type 2 diabetes (59%). For people who have difficulty engaging in or adhering to aerobic exercise, the results suggest "that weight training, to a large extent, can serve as an alternative to aerobic exercise for type 2 diabetes prevention," lead researcher Anders Grøntved, MPH, MSc, told HealthDay News. A separate study also published yesterday in the journal found that higher levels of physical activity were associated with lower mortality risk in people with diabetes. Even study participates who engaged in moderate amounts of activity were "at appreciably lower risk for early death compared with inactive persons," say the study's authors.

Enjoying Hot air balloon flights is something everyone can enjoy, but it is also a popular way to celebrate an anniversary! When you speak with the company you are considering booking with, always to ask how many passengers will be flying with you.
When it is time for your adventure, your company will offer to let you help with the assembly and inflation of the balloon. Go ahead and do it - it adds to the entire experience!
What should you wear during your flight?
Ballooning is not a formal occasion, so heals, dresses and suits are not appropriate. Dress like you would for an outdoor hike. Comfortable shoes (no open-toed shoes or sandals, please), long pants and layered clothing during the cooler months are recommended. Balloons don't normally land at airports, so you'll probably be standing in an open field after landing. Dress appropriately for the area of the country you're flying in.
Be sure to check with the company you are flying with for their clothing rules.
