Last minute Quanta changes...
We were so excited to be included in the 3.1 release. At first it was going to be very close to our 3.0 so our feature set was small... then the date slipped and we worked on sanitzing even the most obscure bugs and tweaking for speed... then we started back porting some of our 3.2 work... Then when we were thinking in perpetual release candidate mode packages really were set to final instead. So we missed getting the last few changes to 3.1 in the tarball. (Changes that made it to quanta-3.1-kde-3.0) Oops!
They are in the 3.1 branch and we will diff the package and put up a patch for download for anyone who would like it. Check the Quanta page in the next day or so for the patch. Enjoy KDE 3.1 and thanks to everyone who has made Quanta so popular. We are proud and honored to be included with such great software and great people.
PS Look for an announcement on the big easter egg in KDE 3.1 in a week or so when the dust settles. It's Kommander, the text manipulation/DCOP/scripting visual dialog builder and executor.

Re: Last minute Quanta changes...
Obviously KDE_3_1_BRANCH will be slightly better than what is released now. There is always some delay between making tarballs, getting distributors to create binary packages and allowing mirrors to catch up and the happy release note.
I hope your changes are not critical for Quanta to work properly.. and hey, we need to provide users with a reason to upgrade to 3.1.1 next month. ;-)

Re: Last minute Quanta changes...
"Obviously KDE_3_1_BRANCH will be slightly better than what is released now. "
That's what 3.1.1 will be good for :-) The differences aren't too many right now because most annoying bugs have been fixed during the security delay. I think that this is the best .0 release a project could make *ever* :-))

Hello Ralf,
may you just state here what everybody will ask you anyhow. So answer the Debain-KDE FAQ best now ;-)
Thanks for your work so far, I'm eger to do the update.

noatun is very unstable here. in fact i upgraded from beta 2 to final (suse binaries), changing noatuns skin plungin causes it to crash. always. :(

Nah, mostly little things that always become the emails that start "why didn't you do such and such" and ironcally a splash screen that I hope will lessen the number of times I read "dude yer spash screen sucks". ;-)
> and hey, we need to provide users with a reason to upgrade to 3.1.1 next month. ;-)
Now you're talkin'! We're on it. Ironically that is about the time frame for finishing a number of features we've been working on for PHP support that is second to none.

And if your distro hasn't any binaries yet, it looks like Konstruct has been updated :
Happy building !

Re: Great
Gentoo has it too... I was kinda surprised when I read the output of emerge -up world :)
By coolvibe at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Great
oh yeah. i'm using gentoo, and this is one of the down points of using such a great system. i get to wait a day before i can test drive the new KDE (though i was using rc6 on one of my systems). If'n one day they get that distcc working nicely, i would think my network could build a working kde in a few hours maybe.
go KDE, the rc6 looks nice!
By Mark at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am

The KDE3.1 ebuilds are in gentoo since many weeks.

But it wasn't really kde 3.1. At best, it was rc4 as I remember. However, 3.1 is now unmasked! WOOHOO...

debian has had 3.1 rc7 since it was put up on cvs.

Konstruct Rocks!
I'm building KDE 3.1 using Konstruct on my Toshiba laptop right now... very nice indeed!
By Wheaty at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
The new feature list is amazing, and the shots are impressive.
But I didn't see kvim integration into kate, kmail and kdevelop, does anyone knows when it will be included, and how I how i could probably configure kde to use kvim as my text control?
Good job KDE! I am waiting for my distro to pack it.
By Anton Velev at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
the vimpart is distributed with KDE debs and kvim is distributed for debian from freenux.org site until inclusion into Vim.
that's still experimental and kmail integration is for kde 3.2.
By Mickael Marchand at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
I see, so in kde32 we will have vimpart, good.
I will try to find on the net (http://freehackers.org/kvim) how is it possible to compile the vim kpart to be integrated as default text component.
By Anton Velev at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
you just need to get the vimpart from the kdeextragear-1 module in KDE's CVS
the current version mostly works but it's broken in kdevelop
By Mickael Marchand at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
There's a patch out there for KMail that'll give you the KTextEditor/Vimpart
Here's the steps ( it's possible these may be prettied up a bit and thrown on the
#1 - First, get and install KVim:
tar xvjf kvim-6.1.141.tar.bz2
#2 - Then get and install the vimpart:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/home/kde
mkdir source
Fire up Control Center.
#3 - Now get the KMail source:
And get the kmail-ktexteditor patch here:
#4 - Finally:
tar xvjf kdenetwork-3.1.tar.bz2
Fire up your new kmail, then go to Settings -> Configure KMail -> Composer
Choose the Embedded Vim Component
By Corey at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
I've installed 'vimpart' according to the above instructions and have been able to select 'vim' from the component chooser, however I have no 'Vim Component Configuration' so when I try to start it up from kdevelop 3.0 I just get a message stating that the vim component needs to be configured - Anyone any idea what needs to be done to configure this.

Re: Impressive
I have the same problem. I'm running kdevelop 3.0.0 beta 2, on Gentoo 1.4, and the vimpart from kdeaddons (moved from kdeextragear-1) in cvs.
Any solutions from anyone out there? I really don't want to have to rebuild the kdelibs, kcontrol, etc. from scratch just to get this to work. (Ugh!)

Re: Impressive
While KDE really is very impressive (nice work and congratulations), there is really no hope of it becoming the standard desktop for SUN or Red Hat.
Both are deeply involved in GNOME and GNOME 2.2 really is very nice as well.
The single biggest problem for SUN is that they have lots of commercial third party developers. SUN does not want to use a platform that someone totally controls commercial development on. If you want to develop commercial applications for KDE you need to purchase a commercial license from Trolltech. SUN does not want to be at Trolltechs mercy.
Do you think Microsoft would ever develop an operating system where their core libraries were owned and controlled by a seperate entity?
With GNOME, everyone can develop commercial software, even using the GNOME-libraries and not just GTK+.
There is of course no problems for free software, and still no problem for most developers, the licenses for Qt are not that expensive, but if you ever ask yourself why SUN as a developer of a platform instead of just third party software chose GNOME instead of KDE, one of the answers is pretty clear.
I have to say, KDE looks pretty damn slick, and again congratulations!
By GauteL at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
Actually, Sun has stated in the past that they wished they'd just bought out Trolltech and used Qt since it is far better documented and less kludgy.
By Antiphon at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
Re: Impressive
As long as there is "commercial support" like Apple is giving by contributing to KHTML I'm not worried about KDE at all. =)
Cheers. ^_^

Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
I'm sure it will be ages before there are Redhat 8 rpms, so I was thinking of using Konstruct. Anyone tried this yet? The instructions on the Konstruct page are very brief... I'm not quite sure how to go about this (other then downloading the source files on my 56k). Hopefully by the time I'm done downloading someone will have figured the build part out :)
By Rimmer at Tue, 2003/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
I'm trying to right now (on RH8). I've been able to fix most of the compile errors that come up just by installing devel RPMS and playing with ldconfig, but I'm stuck at the moment.
Specifically, in the kdemultimedia-3.1/noatun/modules/dcopiface directory, it's failing because of references to VideoPlayObject in libartskde.so, and several "gsl_osc_" references in libartsmodules.so. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix it? The error message is below.
/opt/kde3.1/lib/libartskde.so: undefined reference to `Arts::VideoPlayObject_base::_IID'

Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Ah-- good news. I was using an older version of Konstruct (1/27 instead of 1/28), so I updated and it appears to work fine now. Can't wait till it finishes!
By Charlie at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Konstruct works just fine under Redhat 8. Just follow the instructions. The question I have is how do you configure QT-COPY to use Redhat's xft2 configuration? That is all I would need to be a happy camper.
By Strider at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
This worked for me:
First apply this patch:
Then do this:
export QTDIR=$PWD
/configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng -system-libjpeg -plugin-imgfmt-mng -thread -no-stl -no-exceptions -fast -no-xinerama -prefix /usr/local/qt/ -I/usr/include/Xft2/ -lfontconfig
By perraw at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Is this applied to the current qt-copy in head? Any chance you can give me a pointer on how to apply this patch?
By Strider at Thu, 2003/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Hi, i am not able to use this patch, dont know what is wrong by me.
P.S. TurboLinux 8 KDE 3.1 RPMS can be used in RedHat 8.0 , they worked and there is antialiasing. BUT !: it is not so easy , first u have to build alsa-drivers and alsa-lib if u want to have sound. An there are other minor issues with KDM ....
By Ivaylo Toshev at Fri, 2003/01/31 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Did you force the install? Did you remove the previous RH installation before installing?
I've got the TurboLinux 8 RPM's but... I'd hate to hose my system just to get KDE 3.1 (no matter how good KDE is).
By David Bakody at Sun, 2003/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
The patch was against qt-copy. It won't be applied to qt-copy because it is just a hack :)
However, it works w/o any problems here.
Check out qt-copy, kdebase, kdelibs, arts accordning to:
Then apply the patch to qt-copy, run the configure line I told you.
Ok ?
By perraw at Tue, 2003/02/04 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Hmm, the problem for me is I don't seem to have a makefile.cvs :-(
I fetched and installed the sources with konstruct using 'make deep-patch' in meta/kde
I then patched xfreetype.test according to your instructions, but I can't do 'make -f Makefile.cvs', since I don't have the Makefile.cvs.
Also, I notice that you don't have '-xft' on your configure line - does this still somehow build with Xft support? If I include the '-xft' on the configure line, configure complains that the test for Xft fails ...

By Jim at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
I got it pretty much built with konstruct on Red Hat 8.0. I had to tweak a Makefile when building some of the GL screensavers (manually added -lGLU, no idea why configure missed that), and I also tweaked a Makefile to not build some of the noatun plugins (they wanted /usr/lib/libesd.la and /usr/lib/libaudiofile.la - again, no idea). But other than that it's built, and seems to run...
No antialiased fonts. What gives? AA fonts work fine in the official KDE 3.0.x on Red Hat 8.0, what's changed in 3.1? Something to do with Qt?
By Des Herriott at Wed, 2003/01/29 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Try perraw's advice in the reply above. On mine, I noticed that QT was configuring itself without Xft support, and I found someone's suggestion to add "-lfontconfig" to the OWN_CFLAGS variable. That worked for me, and I think perraw's approach might be a better way to handle it.
By Charlie at Thu, 2003/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: Using Konstruct under Redhat 8?
Yup, I think that's working. I had trouble patching Qt and getting everything to play nicely with Konstruct, so I downloaded and built Qt separately (following perraw's sample command-line), and set the HAVE_QT_3_1_INSTALLED define to TRUE in Konstruct's gar.conf.mk. I'm guessing there's a way to patch Konstruct to build Qt properly for RH8.0, but I'm not familiar enough with Konstruct to do that myself.
Only kdebase built so far, but konsole now appears to have antialiased fonts again, so looking good :)
By Des Herriott at Thu, 2003/01/30 - 6:00am
Xft support for antialiased fonts
i've tried to add -lfontconfig to OWN_FLAGS in my gar.conf.mk, it accepts it but then there's still
what can be wrong?
thanks, luci
By luci at Fri, 2003/01/31 - 6:00am
Re: Xft support for antialiased fonts
Hmm. Just a guess, but make sure you have both Xft and Xft-devel installed.
For me:
$ rpm -qa |egrep Xft
Hope that helps,
By Charlie at Fri, 2003/01/31 - 6:00am
Re: Xft support for antialiased fonts
I have both of those installed in RH8 and still get:
Xft support ......... no
./configure -xft -continue
still didn't resolve the problem...

Using Konstruct with Redhat 8.0 step-by-step
For the benefit of those that are having trouble getting Konstruct to build KDE with XFT support, here are the steps I used . This has worked for me on two machines, but that's hardly a comprehensive QA so YMMV. Please let me know if this does not work for you, or if some of the more knowledgeable folks spot some problems with this process. I'm installing QT in /opt/qt-3.1.1 and KDE in /opt/kde-3.1, so wherever you see those entries in the process change them to your desired installation location.
1. Download and extract Konstruct
Don't forget to edit your .bashrc and add the environment variables set in step 12 for any users that will be using the new KDE. And by the way, ccache (http://ccache.samba.org) is your friend when you are rebuilding KDE on a weekly basis.

The single appeared on the Boy and Best of 1980-1990/B-sides albums. The b-side was the Three EP version of Boy/Girl performed live at the Marquee Club in London. The cover of the single features Peter Rowan who is the brother of Derek 'Guggi' Rowan. Rowan was to appear on the cover of several albums and singles.
I Will Follow was performed when U2 made their debut on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test on February 28, 1981. The song was also performed for U2's first major appearance on American television, The Tomorrow Show with host Tom Snyder. It also appeared on the EP and video Under A Blood Red Sky. The live version for the EP was taken from the Rockpalast '83 concert in Lorelei, Germany on August 20, 1983 rather than from the Red Rocks concert. A live version can also be found as a b-side on the Gloria single. U2 performed it in Holland on May 14, 1982 on the television show Countdown In Concert. In July, Island Records released this live version of I Will Follow (b/w Gloria) in The Netherlands and Germany only. This became U2's first hit in Holland and would peak at No. 12 in the charts. A live version from the September 18, 1980 concert in Totnes appeared on the compilation One and Only: 25 Years of Radio One.
The song was given new life when the band put it into the set during the PopMart tour, companion piece to MOFO. The song also became U2's first soundtrack appearance, in the teen-cult classic The Last American Virgin in 1982. It has been covered by several artists: by Doug Pinnick of King's X on The Mother Of All Tribute Albums, by Spahn Ranch on We Will Follow: A Tribute To U2, by String Q on Strung Out On U2, and by Dustin on Faith Of Our Fathers. In addition to these recorded versions, Collective Soul with Butch Walker performed the song live at Rockfest 99 in Kansas City, Missouri. Collective Soul also performed the song at Woodstock '99. Third Eye Blind, after opening for U2 on several dates on the PopMart tour, added the song to their set list. Hootie and the Blowfish have also performed the song live.

'We get a block or if you like three pieces of rock and you've just got to chisel away with them and get them into shape.'
Edge, Hot Press, July 19th, 1980.
'Unlike Springsteen, these boys are in the first flush of youth, but there a lot of the contrasts end. What makes U2 unique among their contemporaries is the extraordinary completeness of their vision. Where most young bands are over-defined by their environments and the trends and phases of music, U2 have seen the life beyond.........'
I Will Follow reviewed by Dermot Stokes in Hot Press, 13 November 1980
27 September, 2012
My love affair.....began when I moved to Ontario in 1980.....I had never heard of U2 but this was the first thing I heard when I arrived. And I don't think anyone I was with heard it in quite the same way. BOY was the first. I have followed (no pun intended) the career of these boys over the past several years, seeing them every time they come to town. (it is getting increasingly difficulty to obtain good seats) I truly thank U2 for seeing me through the happy and not so happy times in my life......keep doing what you do and we will keep coming and buying!!

A study of more than 1,600 arbitration cases over the past five years shows an "alarmingly high" rate of brokers who were able to get their arbitration histories wiped clean, leaving investors vulnerable to potential fraud and abuse, according to a just-released report by the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA).
In reviewing all securities arbitration awards in cases filed between Jan. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2011, in which the word "expungement" appears, the report by PIABA, which is an association of lawyers who represent aggrieved investors, found:
- An "alarmingly" high percentage of arbitration cases resolved by settlement or stipulated awards where expungement relief has been granted. For the time period Jan. 1, 2007 through mid-May 2009, expungement was granted in 89% of the cases resolved by stipulated awards or settlement. (The May 2009 end date reflects a change in reporting requirements mandating more information about arbitration cases.)
- For mid-May 2009 through the end of 2011, expungement relief was granted in nearly every instance: 96.9% of the cases resolved by settlements or stipulated awards.
- Some stockbrokers have taken a particularly aggressive approach to wiping their slate clean. One individual associated with a brokerage firm requested expungement 40 times, and arbitration panels granted such relief to that individual 35 times.
"To say that 'expungement' of customer claims from broker records is a major investor protection problem is an understatement," said Scott Ilgenfritz, outgoing president of PIABA, and author of the expungement study, during a Wednesday conference call to announce the study's findings. "What is supposed to be an extraordinary relief measure is now being sought and granted in roughly nine out of the 10 settled cases that we studied."
Such a high percentage of expungements "clearly indicates that the current expungement procedures are seriously flawed. Regulators need to step in and crack down on the granting of expungements, particularly in settled cases."
FINRA responded in a statement that the recent increase in expungement requests, as PIABA noted, is largely attributable to the 2009 change to the Forms U4 and U5 that increased the number of customer claims reported against brokers, and consequently in an increase in brokers pursuing expungement relief. "While still significant, the number of arbitrator-recommended expungements executed by FINRA following a court order during the five-year period (838 orders) covered by the study is less than 5% of the total number of customer disputes filed (17,635)."
FINRA maintains the qualification, employment and disclosure histories of 5,100 broker-dealers and approximately 660,000 of their securities employees in the electronic CRD system. FINRA and the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) established the CRD system in 1981.
"PIABA's study makes many valid points. Expungement is and should continue to be an extraordinary remedy," says Andrea Seidt, NASAA president and Ohio securities commissioner. "We share PIABA's concerns that there be robust oversight of the process to ensure that expungement is not easily granted. Such oversight helps to ensure the integrity of the CRD system that regulators, investors and industry rely upon for information about the background of stockbrokers."
Seidt says that NASAA continues to work with FINRA "to address these concerns and looks forward to working constructively with all interested parties to ensure that the expungement process requires a thorough and thoughtful analysis of each request." While FINRA has very recently undertaken steps to better educate arbitrators concerning their roles in the expungement process "and the critical importance of accurate customer claims information with respect to investor protection," said Ilgenfritz, "FINRA's arbitrator education efforts need to go further, and FINRA needs to propose rule changes."
FINRA responded in its comment the same day that it shares PIABA's concerns with respect to the expungement process. As a result of these concerns, FINRA said it "recently provided expanded guidance to assist arbitrators in the proper performance of their responsibilities with respect to expungement, and is enhancing arbitrator training with added emphasis on the importance of the integrity of the information in the CRD system." In addition to the steps FINRA is taking to provide additional guidance and training to arbitrators, the self-regulator said that it is "reviewing its rules and interpretations, and will consider changes to provide clarity as to what actions in connection with conditions on settlements violate conduct rules."
Specifically, the PIABA report recommends the following: "FINRA needs to propose a rule change with respect to respondents and their counsel bargaining for in settlement negotiations or conditioning a settlement upon an investor's agreement to not oppose expungement or an agreement to expungement."
Incoming PIABA president Jason Doss said on the call that FINRA also needs to provide "more and better training for arbitrators." The training required by FINRA for arbitrators to be able to rule upon a motion seeking expungement relief "is limited," he said. As it stands now, he said, arbitrators are only required to take an online training course, which takes approximately one hour, and pass a test concerning the materials included in the online training course.
Doss said the issue is "systemic," and shows a "dramatic increase" in the number of brokers asking for expungement and getting it.
The report also notes that FINRA should take the following steps:
- For FINRA to fulfill its mission of investor protection, the procedures applicable to motions for expungement relief need to be changed. FINRA needs to play a more active role in arbitrators' rulings on motions for expungement relief.
- FINRA needs to review and critically assess all motions for expungement relief, particularly those made in cases resolved by settlement.
- FINRA also needs to review and critically assess settlement agreements. A proposed rule change should include the requirement that the hearing on any motion for expungement relief be scheduled no sooner than 60 days after service of the motion on the customer and FINRA. In cases resolved by settlement, FINRA should require respondents to provide to FINRA the settlement agreement along with the motion for expungement relief.

As the holiday season wanes and as we look into the fiscal cliff abyss, many clients are scrambling to make last minute gifts or sales that could substantially reduce their tax liability. There are still a few maneuvers that allow clients to take advantage of current high exemptions and low tax rates. Though there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are guidelines that can help you formulate last minute strategies that are simple enough to be executed in just days—strategies that can save your clients a bundle in 2013 and beyond.
Gifts That Keep Giving
As most clients know, the current $5.12 million gift tax exemption is set to expire effective January 1, along with a slew of other provisions that have created substantial tax savings for years, and to revert to its pre-Bush-era $1 million level. For many clients, this is not an issue—high-net-worth clients are wealthy enough so that taking advantage of the exemption was a no-brainer and most of the middle class would never have to "worry" about making a gift so large.
However, there is a group of relatively wealthy clients who may have put off making the decision, because, to this group, a more-than-$5 million gift is feasible yet represents a very substantial portion of their net worth. A client who falls into this category may have finally decided to make the gift but may not want to give up so much cash permanently, and valuing non-cash assets for gift tax purposes takes time that we do not have left in 2012. There is still hope.
The IRS permits the creation of an irrevocable trust where the trust creator funds the trust with assets (whether cash or non-cash property) today but can exchange that property for something else in the future. This technique not only allows clients flexibility—they can fund the trust with cash and regain control of that cash next year if necessary—but it solves an important gift tax valuation issue.
Non-cash gifts—especially large non-cash gifts—must be professionally appraised to determine their worth and whether taxes are owed on the gift. If the client funds the trust with property that turns out to be worth more than $5.12 million, he would owe taxes. But if the trust contains a power of substitution, he can simply substitute less valuable property once the appraisal is complete.
Last Minute Sales: The Capital Gains Rush
Capital gains taxes may have received less media attention than income taxes in recent weeks while the politicians in Washington attempt to reach a fiscal cliff compromise, but the fact remains: they are set to increase substantially in 2013. Long-term capital gains are currently taxed at 15% for taxpayers in the upper tax brackets, but taxpayers in the 10% or 15% tax brackets pay no tax on these gains in 2012. The rates are set to increase in 2013, but a sale still may not be appropriate for everyone.
Clients must examine their investment goals to determine whether a sale at 2012 rates would be beneficial, but there are some simple guidelines to help them. One of the most important considerations is whether the client wants to remain a long-term investor.
For example, if a client was planning to sell assets within the next year to purchase a home or pay for a child's education, they would likely be better off recognizing the gains at 2012 rates and foregoing the added year of investment growth—especially if they're in the 10% or 15% brackets. Even longer-term investors can benefit from selling investments today, because they have the opportunity to sell the assets tax-free and reinvest, potentially stepping-up their cost basis if the purchase price for repurchasing the assets is higher. This would reduce the amount of gain that would have to be realized at some point in the future.
Longer-term investors who are subject to the 15% capital gains rates should still examine their investment mix, but would likely be better off deferring taxation into the future if their investments otherwise meet their goals. Long-term investors who cash out their investments at 2012 rates and want to reinvest will have less investment capital available after paying the 15% tax on the sale and will realize lower growth in the long run.
2013—and higher tax rates—will be here before we know it. Despite this, these basic guidelines can help your clients quickly execute transactions and make decisions to reduce their tax liability if they have waited (as lots of us do) until the last minute to plan.

JavaScript + Types
Most modern IDEs, including Visual Studio, have dramatically improved support for JavaScript. For example, Visual Studio 2012 provides good code-completion and navigation features for editing JavaScript code. When you work with an ASP.NET MVC 4 project, by default, the
Scripts/_references.js file includes references to the files to which Visual Studio will provide JavaScript IntelliSense support. This way, when you edit a JavaScript file, Visual Studio provides autocomplete for the most common libraries, just like jQuery.
However, when it is time to refactor, if you right-click on any variable, the context menu won't display the well-known Refactor | Rename… options (however, there are many third-party add-ins for Visual Studio 2012 that simplify this operation with JavaScript code). In addition, the autocompletion provides a "description of member variable" as the description for an element, which is not terribly helpful.
The lack of type information can produce runtime errors when you use unexpected types. Appropriate testing will detect the errors, but adding some type information would allow you to detect many errors when writing the code, and the editor would be able to provide you with accurate information about the error. That's the idea behind TypeScript.
If you have worked on an ASP.NET MVC application with a C# back end, you know that when you leave a C# file and start working on the JavaScript pieces, Visual Studio loses a lot of features. For example, you don't have the dropdowns at the top of the editor that allow you to select a desired class and method to make it easier to navigate through the code. One of TypeScript's goals is to make the scripting experience in TypeScript similar in richness to the C# and C++ coding experience, without requiring a completely new scripting language.
As the number of JavaScript files and lines in an application grows, it becomes even more difficult to keep an easy-to-maintain structure. Thus, TypeScript adds support for classes with inheritance, modules, and interfaces to help in solving this problem. The syntax to define classes and modules is aligned with the ECMAScript 6 proposals.
Understanding TypeScript with the PlayGround
Figure 1: The TypeScript Playground displaying TypeScript code on the left and the generated JavaScript on the right.
The following simple TypeScript code adds type information for the
radius parameter (
number type) of the
calculateCircleArea function. The type inference mechanism will determine that the function returns a
number, and therefore, it isn't necessary to specify the return type:
//// TypeScript code function calculateCircleArea(radius: number) { return Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 2); } alert(calculateCircleArea(10).toString());
As shown in Figure 1, the generated code is almost the identical: The JavaScript code just removes the type information added for the
radius parameter, as shown in the following JavaScript lines:
//// JavaScript code generated by the TypeScript compiler function calculateCircleArea(radius) { return Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 2); } alert(calculateCircleArea(10).toString());
As you might guess, when TypeScript is translated to JavaScript, the type information is completely removed. The static types disappear at runtime, therefore, there is zero cost for adding the types in TypeScript. However, because you provided type information for the
radius parameter, the TypeScript editor is able to highlight errors if you supply the wrong parameter types for the
calculateCircleArea function. For example, you can change the line that calls the
calculateCircleArea function with the following line in the TypeScript editor:
The TypeScript editor knows that the radius parameters must be of a
number type, but you supplied a
string value. Therefore, the function name appears underlined in red. When you hover the mouse over the function name, the editor displays a tooltip with more details about the problem (see Figure 2): "Supplied parameters do not match any signature of call target (radius: number) => number."
Figure 2: The TypeScript editor providing details about the error detected at design time.
In this case, the code will execute without problems if you remove the type information. However, most of the time, you don't want to lose control of the conversions that happen under the hood, and you really want to receive a numeric value for your
calculateCircleArea function. TypeScript provides static analysis based on both the type annotations you add and the structure of the code.
The same will happen if you change the line that calls the
calculateCircleArea function with the following line in the TypeScript editor. In this case, the number of supplied parameters is wrong:
alert(calculateCircleArea(10, 20));
The TypeScript editor also provides autocompletion features. For example, if you enter
alert(calculate and then press Ctrl + Space, the editor displays a dropdown menu with the
calculateCircleArea function, its required parameter, and the returned type (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: The TypeScript editor provides an autocomplete dropdown menu.
The editor will also highlight an error if you change the line that calls the
calculateCircleArea function with the following line in the TypeScript editor (see Figure 4). In this case, the name
calculateCircleAreaWithRadius doesn't exist in the current scope, and the code won't produce the expected results at runtime:
Figure 4: The TypeScript editor provides details about the error.
If you click on the
radius parameter and then move the mouse pointer, you will see a blue triangle appearing below
radius and usage information about this symbol highlighted in the editor. If you click on the blue triangle, the editor displays a context menu with several options (Figure5). Select "Rename symbol (F2)" and enter
rad to change the name for
radius. This way, you can easily rename a symbol or go to its definition. The same rename and definition navigation features are available when you install the TypeScript for Visual Studio 2012 plugin.
Figure 5: The TypeScript editor displaying a context menu that allows you to rename a symbol.
Keywords for Type Annotations
TypeScript supports the following keywords for type annotations to establish the intended contract of functions, variables, and properties:
any: References the
Anytype. It represents any JavaScript value and it is a supertype of all types.
bool: References the
Booleanprimitive type.
number: References the
Numberprimitive type that represents a double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754 floating-point value.
null: This literal references the only possible value of the
Nulltype. The
Nulltype is a subtype of all types (except
Undefined). It isn't possible to explicitly reference the
Nulltype and you can only use the
string: References the
Stringprimitive type that represents sequences of characters stored as Unicode UTF-16 code units.
undefined: This is the value given to uninitialized variables. The
Undefinedtype is a subtype of all types. It isn't possible to explicitly reference the
void: This keyword references the
Voidtype. It is the return type for functions that return no value and the only possible value of the
Voidtype is

Re: Original Idea
Yep, I came up with the idea, and Amaury mocked it up. It was very disappointing to have our hard work disappear, along with lots of other peoples' :/ Nice to see it back, in some form! :)
It's a pity my other idea, about having audio volumes on a per-application-type basis, rather than on a hardware basis (so, volumes for background music, games, im notifications, etc.), didn't survive (or did it??). I was much more interested in seeing that in KDE4 ;)
By Lee at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Original Idea
That said... the other mockup post referenced above has a great new idea, of having konqueror show file progress IN the file browser. As long as that's not the only place it's available (since I don't use konqi as a file browser all that often), it's really nice.
By Lee at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Original Idea
"It's a pity my other idea, about having audio volumes on a per-application-type basis [...] didn't survive (or did it??)."
Phonon will probably be able to support this, it has categories for different types of audio, so it should not be difficult to set the volume according to that category.

Re: please no vertical running text
While funny, he's absolutely right. In some apps you use more often, you simply memorize in which region you have to click to change the sidebar view. But actually having to read the labels on these vertical tabs, sucks. It would be much better to spend a bit more horizontal space and use well chosen pictograms, instead labels. Problem is the (non-)accessibility of pictograms.

Queued tasks
In many programs there is the concept of queued tasks, (downloading usually) and in others, it would be really useful to have this feature. The one that I run into time and time again is copying a file on the local hard drive.
Suppose I need to copy two large files to different locations on the same physical hard drive. They each have different start and destination locations. In konqueror (and any file manager) I can copy one, and it starts copying at a decent speed. Then I copy the next one and both slow down by an order of magnitude because now the disk is thrashing back and forth doing two transfers. If each transfer on its own would have taken 2 min, I would now be waiting probably 30 min for both of them to complete.
What we really need is a way to queue file transfer operations for media that has issues with two operations at the same time. HTTP downloads can already do this, if you start more downloads than the server will allow from your IP, then some of them will not start until the others finish.
I guess implementing this is more in the scope of konqueror, and not this job manager.
By Leo S at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
This is not true. Modern Linux and UNIXes have advanced disk scheduling algorithms based on "elevators" (think of an elevator sweeping up and down a building) that avoid the thrashing and in practice two or three files copied simultaneously have almost no impact in total disk throughput. They also minimize the effects of disk fragmentation (though not so much).
By Rudd-O at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
Well it sure is true on my system. Maybe I don't have this disk scheduling enabled or something.
Can anyone back this up?
By Leo S at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
I can back you up - it's an annoyance. Performance drops through the floor when copying multiple large files simultaneously.
It would be great if this job progress manager allowed one to pause a job until another one had finished.
RMB->file copy job->pause this job until this job has finished->another file copy job
This would have other benefits - you could start downloading a large .tar.gz, ask ark to extract it and then pause the task until the download had finished.
By lanroth at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
Reminds me of the time I ran Nautilus (GNOME file-manager for you KDE guys :) on a multi-processor system, on a CDROM mounted directory.
Now, someone was smart and made Nautilus launch thumbnail generators in parallel, one for each CPU, and that is a good thing. Worked great on hard disk or network folders. However, on the CDROM I thought the system was going to crash, it got so laggy.
Read a bit of file here, seek, seek, seeeeeeeeeeek, read a bit of file over here, seeek, seeeeeeek, seeeeeeeek, repeat.
By Zan Lynx at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
In my experience it's often the opposite of what you state (1 transfers at X MB/s, 2 at 1.5 X MB/s which often confuses me, though at some point adding more does cause it to go slower), though I think that a configuration option (probably would have to be in Konqueror, with the options based on the kio-slave) to say the number of concurrent transfers before queuing up new ones (with an option to allow 'infinite')
By Corbin at Thu, 2007/01/25 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
you are wrong. although the elevator algorithm is rather good, you will still loose a lot of performance when copying two sequential files. reason being that for a single sequential file copy there is no seek time at all and the seek time is significantly larger than the time it takes to read a whole cylinder (ie. multiple sectors).
this problem becomes more significant as hdd size increases.
By Anonymous at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
with a modern (>2.6.18) linux kernel and using the (default) CFQ scheduler, the performance difference will be very small (eg a few % max). so, not to worry about.
Re: Queued tasks
Can you expand on this? I don't really know how CFQ works, but, the "Fair" in its name makes me think that it would not be the best choice for this scenario. Basically, we have two large tasks, with a very high switching cost between the two. To optimize performance, we should minimize the number of switches, that is serving each task for a very long time interval before switching to the other (the best being serving one task until it is completely finished and then going to the other). This does not sound "Fair", to me.
By giu73 at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Queued tasks
but it is what CFQ does, both ensuring task interactivity AND increasing throughput. compared to the previous kernel scheduler, cfq uses longer timeslices, but has some logic to ensure reads don't slow down, and there are maximum waits for apps who want to read and write data.
Re: Queued tasks
If your system becomes really slow with copying files, verify whether you have DMA enabled. The Linux kernel does a decent job of scheduelling IO.
In fact, once I had to copy a lot of files in Windows and back in Linux. Windows Explorer and IE froze while copying, and the disk made a lot of noice. Linux was very quiet, and only showed short disk activity after 5 files (~30MB). Copying the files took 3 times longer in Windows because it used the disk very inefficiently.

Yet another example of inefficient M$ products :)

The taskbar!
It'd be great if the taskbar were updated to take advantage of this so that each application could display at least one progress bar there, and maybe a mouseover would show you all of the progress bars for that application, as well as let you select the the one to be always displayed.
While I'm asking, it'd be nice to see progress bars in the tab bar for every page that is loading :)

Re: The taskbar!
Agreed. That would make perfect sense. Something like this?

Thank you all guys
I just want to thank you all your feedback. I am really glad to see people in general like what is going on at KDE trunk, and for KDE 4 series in general.
* The plasmoid is the idea. When plasmoids specification are available, I'd like to write some kind of plasmoid for this, or maybe move what I have right now there, we will see. But I think you can bet for a plasmoid about jobs.
* The queuing. Well, it can be implemented in the kuiserver, and I really think it would make sense here. I think it is really possible, and that I'm going to improve it to let you have an option for "Queue transfer jobs as they arrive", with the possibility to "Resume" the one that you want if you want to have some jobs on parallel.
I really appreciate all your opinions and ideas.
Thank you all again,
By Rafael Fernánde... at Wed, 2007/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Thank you all guys
Hi Rafael,
First of all, THANKS. You're doing an awesome job of an already nice idea and I'm highly looking forward to seeing your work make my life with the KDE desktop (even) easier. :)
Speaking of optionally queueing tasks: shouldn't that be based on the *ressource* being used, where ressource would be 'disk I/O' or 'network I/O' and such? Sometimes it makes sense to download as much as half a dozen things at the same time, while moving no more than one local file at once. Well, hope I'm not talking out of my ass anyway...
Thanks again!

Travel apps to make your trip easier
Need to book a hotel at the last minute? Want to find cheap gas?
Just in time for the holiday travel season, we thought wed recommend some apps that could make your trip whether its by plane, train, car or bike a little less stressful. We consulted with travel experts, including the folks at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and The Washington Posts own app expert, Hayley Tsukayama. Thanks, too, to Aimee Custis, communications director at the Coalition for Smarter Growth.
Weve tried to focus on free apps, organized by mode of travel. If there are apps out there that you love, please feel free to share them with us.
(Note: Unless otherwise noted, all apps listed are available for iOS and Android devices.)
Travelers will fill the nations highways this holiday season. According to AAA, 86 million people are expected to drive to their holiday destination.
Headed to see relatives? RoadNinja could make that trip a little easier (and save you some money). RoadNinja tracks your location and lets you know the price of gas at stations at upcoming exits. It also lets you know whats at exits in the opposite direction just in case gas is cheaper going that way. The app also will tell you which restaurants, shops and other attractions are just down the road.
If your travels take you through Virginia, the Virginia Department of Transportation has its VDOT 511 app. When you switch on this app, the first thing youll see is the following warning: DO NOT USE THIS APP WHILE DRIVING. Its a straightforward app, without a lot of fancy doodads or graphics. It gives you travel times for the states major routes tied to your current location. The Basic map tab will show you a color-coded map that helps spot delays. Theres also a link to VDOT Twitter messages grouped by region.
If your travels take you beyond Virginia, think about downloading the INRIX app, which offers just about everything a commuter or road warrior might want. Theres traffic news and a traffic map. When I set my location, I also got screenshots from VDOTs traffic cameras. With one click, you can text or email your arrival time to family and friends. The app will note construction or congestion with small icons along your planned route and places a little checkered flag icon at your destination.
If youre big-city bound, you may need to find a place to park once you arrive.
SpotHero is a parking app that allows you to find, reserve and pay for available spaces at nearby lots. Enter the time and date you need parking and the interface will show you a map of available garages and lots, complete with the cost for the time period selected. It will give you a description of the garage or lot complete with photo and directions for where to enter. It also will tell you how far the garage is from your destination. (In some cases youll need to print your reservation and hand it to the valet.) SpotHero is available in Washington, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Newark and New York City.
Along those same lines, ParkWhiz helps you find available spaces in some cases with a discount and reserve and pay for them online. It offers you a description of the lot and a handy Google map of the location. We found it worked on garages in Washington and around the region, in such towns as Rockville, Md. and Ballston, Va.
According to AAA, about 5.5 million holiday travelers will be flying to their destination. Frequent fliers recommend downloading the app for the airline that youre using.
There are lots of apps that will help you track your flights, but here are two recommended by our frequent fliers:
The FlightAware app will allow you to track your flight (or that of your loved one). You can check individual airports for delays. A map will show you the flights arriving and departing into the airport of your choice. As a reporter who writes about airports, I find the FlightAware website indispensable.
The free version of Flight Tracker operates much the same as FlightAware. Input your flight information and it will tell you what type of aircraft youll be flying, advise you of any delays and tell you the gate from which youll be departing. It also gives you a weather forecast for your destination. A minor quibble: I wish the app had the same pull-down menu of airlines that FlightAware offers.
If you get stuck or perhaps youre looking for an escape from all that family togetherness, Hotel Tonight offers same-night reservations of hotels close to where you are. We love the ranking system, which includes categories such as luxe, solid, basic and hip. The gold bed next to your selection is the high roller category.
Amtraks mobile app offers all the basics: It will allow you to book tickets and check schedules and train status. The welcome screen has a lovely shot of a train against a scenic background. (A second app offers Amtraks glossy on-train magazine, Arrive). It gets pretty good reviews from users, though one said he wished service alerts were available directly from the app, noting that its not always convenient to go to the website.
Part of traveling is knowing what the weather will be at your destination. Some folks are perfectly happy with the weather app thats packaged with their phone, but many want a bit more.
The newest AccuWeather app version offers some fresh features, including forecasts that refresh every five minutes and options that allow you to get more detail. You can easily add cities by name or by zip code. A fun feature takes the forecast and offers advice on whether its good weather for, say, a barbecue or a trip to the beach. The health tab ranks the risk for particular medical conditions, such as the flu or migraines. The app also has a video and news feed.
Another favorite among weather watchers is WeatherBug. Theres a lot to like here, with all of the weather data plus the chance to share your weather photos with others. The app also features Spark, an exclusive feature that will tell you about potential lightning activity in your area. Theres also a pollen counter and footage from weather cameras in your area.

In Derby: Morin appointed clerk at heated meeting
copyright the Chronicle 10-10-12
by Joseph Gresser
DERBY — At a contentious meeting on Thursday, October 4, Derby selectmen voted to appoint Fay Morin interim town clerk and treasurer. But town voters will go to the polls, probably in December and again on Town Meeting Day in March, to have their say on who should hold those offices.
The meeting at which the vote was taken was actually a continuation of the one that began on Monday, October 1. That meeting was recessed for three days after the four selectmen present could not come to an agreement on filling the positions.
Selectman Laura Dolgin was not present for the October 1 meeting, but she was there to cast the deciding vote on October 4.
The vote to make Ms. Morin clerk and treasurer filled vacancies in Derby's town government caused by the resignation of Nicole Daigle, who held both offices for 19 years.
Ms. Daigle took another job this summer, but offered to continue to serve in an unpaid supervisory capacity until Town Meeting Day. She made the offer in executive session at the selectmen's July 9 meeting, according to board chairman Brian Smith and Selectman Stephen Gendreau.
Both men said that Ms. Daigle asked the four selectmen who were present (Selectman Karen Jenne was not at that meeting) whether she ought to appoint an assistant clerk and treasurer to keep the office running until Town Meeting, or if the selectmen wanted to make the appointment.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Gendreau said the selectmen said Ms. Daigle, as town clerk and treasurer, should go ahead and fill the position. Ms. Daigle named Ms. Morin assistant clerk and assistant treasurer after that meeting.
After some selectmen and members of the public objected to Ms. Daigle's action at the following selectmen's meeting, Ms. Daigle said she would resign immediately. She was persuaded to stay on for a time, and agreed to hold the position until the end of September.
The interim appointments will be of short duration. Mr. Smith said a petition calling for a special Town Meeting to fill the two positions until March had enough signatures to be valid. The petition was presented to the selectmen on October 1 by Vicky Farrand-Lewis.
Mr. Smith said the selectmen will meet on October 15 to set a date for the vote. Because Derby elects town officials by Australian ballot, the vote is unlikely to be held before December, Mr. Smith said.
Whatever the result of the balloting, it is questionable whether it will diminish the anger that was evident both between selectmen and among the 40 or so members of the public who attended the Thursday meeting.
Ms. Jenne said, "I did not attend the meeting on July 9, but I believe there was a violation of the open meeting law."
"I disagree completely," Ms. Dolgin shot back.
"It says in the minutes that no action was taken, but a hiring decision was made," Ms. Jenne said.
"No action was taken by the select board and I am correct on that," said Mr. Smith.
Ms. Dolgin read from a sheet of paper two Vermont laws that, she said, clearly authorized Ms. Daigle to appoint an assistant and required the selectmen to name a replacement for Ms. Daigle when her resignation became effective.
"You are the clerk of Derby Line," Ms. Dolgin said to Ms. Jenne, "I'd think you would know this."
A portion of those attending the meeting applauded Ms. Dolgin's remark.
When Mr. Smith called for a vote Mr. Gendreau and Ms. Dolgin said they were in favor of appointing Ms. Morin, while Selectman Beula-Jean Shattuck and Ms. Jenne abstained, as they did at the October 1 meeting. That left the question up to the chairman, Mr. Smith, but only after a long argument about whether to abstain from voting is to vote "No."
Ms. Dolgin, who takes minutes at selectmen's meetings, pressed both Ms. Shattuck and Ms. Jenne to explain their reasons for abstaining. Ms. Shattuck at first refused to do more than say "that's how I feel."
Eventually, though, she told Ms. Dolgin that she believed the process leading up to the appointment of Ms. Morin was improper.
Ms. Dolgin then turned to Ms. Jenne, suggesting that she had a conflict of interest in the question because she is considering running for the two offices.
Ms. Jenne said she didn't see what one thing had to do with another.
When Ms. Dolgin again asked her to explain her reasons for abstaining, Ms. Shattuck said, "There have been things that have been underhanded and I don't like it. I'm not going along with it. It's not an argument between us."
Ms. Dolgin again asked for clarification.
Ms. Shattuck said, "Just keep talking — you're burying yourself. You're not a lawyer — you think you are, but you're not."
A number of those present expressed their approval of Ms. Shattuck's remark with applause.
Ms. Dolgin told Ms. Shattuck and Ms. Jenne that her minutes would show them as casting votes against Ms. Morin.
A chorus of protest arose from Ms. Shattuck, Ms. Jenne and many of those who gathered to observe the meeting.
Some appealed to Mr. Smith to prevent Ms. Dolgin from using the minutes in such a fashion. Ms. Farrand-Lewis said that Ms. Dolgin should be required to write exactly what had been said at the meeting without inserting her opinions.
Mr. Smith ruled that Ms. Dolgin could write whatever she wanted, but that minutes would be reviewed and voted on at the next meeting.
Mr. Smith then cast his vote for appointing Ms. Morin interim clerk and treasurer, creating a majority in favor.
Mr. Gendreau then moved to adjourn the meeting. A chorus of protest was heard from members of the public who demanded to be heard.
"We have an opportunity to speak according to open meeting law," Ms. Farrand-Lewis said. "We have the right."
"We had discussion Monday night," Mr. Smith responded, saying that the October 4 session was a continuation of the same meeting.
"In government the ultimate boss is the public. You have the onus of responsibility to respond to the public," Ms. Farrand-Lewis said.
"Your concerns will be addressed with the secretary of state in the morning," Mr. Smith said.
"No, they won't, they'll be addressed with the Attorney General, because there was a violation of the open meeting law," Ms. Farrand-Lewis shot back.
"We'll discuss that and make sure everything is done correctly," Mr. Smith said.
"What a kangaroo court you hold, Mr. Smith," Ms. Farrand-Lewis replied.
As Mr. Smith called for a vote on the motion to adjourn, Ms. Farrand-Lewis said, "What a laughing stock. You people are disgusting."
That her opinion was not shared by all in attendance was shown by the round of applause given the board at the end of the meeting.
There were enough people who shared Ms. Farrand-Lewis' views to ensure that the parking lot of the Derby municipal building was the scene of heated discussion long after the meeting's end.

Signs and Symptoms of Pregnancy[1]
There is a chance you can get pregnant any time you have sex. Every woman has a unique experience with pregnancy symptoms, and even experiences symptoms differently from pregnancy to pregnancy. One of the most common signs you are pregnant is a late or missed period.
You may feel or notice symptoms of pregnancy within a week of getting pregnant. It is also possible you won't notice the symptoms until a few weeks later.
If you think you could be pregnant, watch for these early signs and symptoms: missed period, headaches, tender breasts, nausea, and lower backaches. Of course, these symptoms don't always mean you are pregnant, and you could even be pregnant without feeling any of them.
If you have had sex and are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to take a pregnancy test. If that test is positive, you'll need to make sure the pregnancy is viable with an ultrasound as soon as you can.
Early Signs and Symptoms of Pregnancy
In addition to a missed period, the earliest symptoms of pregnancy might include:
- Nausea with or without vomiting.
- Tender, swollen breasts.
- Increased urination.
- Fatigue.
- Food aversions or cravings.
- Bloating.
Sometimes symptoms of pregnancy are less familiar or obvious. If you're pregnant, you might also experience:
- Slight bleeding or cramping.
- Backaches.
- Headaches.
- Mood swings.
- Dizziness.
- Constipation.
- Darkening of the Areolas.
If you are pregnant, you have three choices: You could choose parenting, adoption, or abortion. So many women find it is helpful to talk with someone about all these options. We offer confidential support and accurate information about all pregnancy options. We do not stand to profit in any way from your choice, but we do not offer or refer for abortion services.

The FDA has received more than 26,000 adverse effects reports about Essure birth control as of January 2018. If you or loved one has experienced any of the complications listed below and would like to file an Essure lawsuit in Izard, Arkansas contact some of the best Essure lawyers serving Izard, Arkansas in the country.
The permanent Essure birth control implant that was not designed to be reversed which did not require incisions and the implant is a soft, metallic spring-like device that is bound in synthetic fibers. The metalic components are comprised of nickel titanium coil which expands with a stainless-steel inner coil.
The device is implanted into the patient's fallopian tubes, where the synthetic fibers surrounding the inner and outer soft, metal coils are designed to encourage scar tissue growth that will create a barrier preventing sperm from reaching the eggs. However, complications often arise if the device breaks a part inside the patient.
Essure Problems, Complications with Removal Surgery in Izard, Arkansas
Attempts to remove the device with hysterectomies still lead to medical complications or health issues for many patients. Even when the implant is successfully removed, the contraceptive effects may not be reversible. After a year or so, many patients have needed to undergo additional surgeries in Izard, Arkansas to have the Essure implant removed or to have their internal organs repaired in Izard, Arkansas.
A number of female patients have undergone hysterectomies in Izard, Arkansas to have the device removed and continue to suffer complications. Some patients in Izard, Arkansas may have even died as a result of these complications.

Should Your File an Essure Lawsuit in Izard, Arkansas?
Essure lawsuits are still in the early stage of litigation, which means you can still file your claim as their haven't been any settlements or verdicts reached yet.
So far, most of the lawsuits have been consolidated in states such as California which has the largest number of Essure lawsuits currently pending.
Judge Winifred Y Smith of the Alameda County Superior Court in California who is presiding over claims of 13,000 women who have been injured by the Essure birth control device has made an order on March 27, 2018 for the attorneys representing the victims to agree to one master complaint to guide all the victims against the defendant, Bayer Corporation.
Judge Smith has also signaled her intention to speed up the lawsuit process and move these cases more quickly to trial. The developments in the California courts has recently caused an explosion of lawsuit filing across the country who will likely be following the same procedures of Judge Smith and the California courts.
Essure patients in Izard, Arkansas are suffering from serious health complications and it is important to learn the legal rights to compensation victims have from the harmful complications caused from the Essure birth control device. Women all over the country have been traumatized and injured by Essure, but the fight against Bayer over this device is still in the early stages. There has been no shortage of grassroots movements, protests and advocacy groups pushing this issue to the forefront.
The latest Essure lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania federal courts during February and April 2018. The first Essure cases to go to trial are probably going to be the California lawsuits. The first cases to go to trial can often set the precedent for many of the other lawsuits that will soon follow.
Plaintiffs in Izard, Arkansas may file Essure Claims and receive additional compensation for:
- Lost time from work
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Medical bills
- Loss of quality of life
The more attention Essure lawsuits receive and the more successful these cases are in court, the more likely other victims are to be compensated for their losses. If you feel you may be one of the women suffering because of an Essure birth control implant, contact our Essure lawyers immediately to discuss how you can pursue legal restitution to recoup your losses.
According to Bayer, as of April 2018, there have been two lawsuits in North America pursuing class action certification. Bayer's financial reports show there are now over 16,000 Essure lawsuits filed independently, but no multi-district litigation cases have been approved by federal courts yet.
