If a person were to head butt you, you'd probably have a pretty good idea of what they were trying to tell you.
But when a kitty bonks you with her forehead, the meaning may be less clear. Is she merely saying hello or has she been watching too much pro wrestling?
We asked Dr. Meghan E. Herron, DVM, DACVB, a clinical assistant professor of behavioral medicine in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Ohio State University, to explain the curious cat phenomenon.
According to Dr. Herron, this behavior is something that domestic cats share with their wild counterparts.
"Cats do this to deposit facial pheromones on people or objects in their environment," explains Dr. Herron. "The head butting is actually something that we call bunting."
Since kitties usually seem relaxed and friendly while bunting, people rightfully assume that it's a sign of affection or acceptance into the feline's domain. But Dr. Herron says that bunting is a bit more nuanced.
"Rather than territorial marking or 'claiming' someone, as is commonly thought, cats do this to mark something as safe — sort of like leaving a signal of comfort and safety," adds Dr. Herron. "So you could think of it as a sign that they are 'trusting' that person or environment."
There are a lot of bunting variations among kitties, with a wide range of frequency and intensity, so you shouldn't necessarily be concerned if your cat doesn't bump or push you with her head.
"While cats that do this are often feeling safe and trusting, I don't know that I would say a lack of bunting indicates a problem," says Dr. Herron. "Each cat may have a different propensity to bunt over others."

THURSDAY, Aug. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Disruption of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB) pathway in breast cancer is associated with an improved response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, according to a study published online July 18 in Clinical Cancer Research.
Agnieszka K. Witkiewicz, M.D., from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, and colleagues used gene expression profiling and histology to examine whether disruption of the RB pathway was associated with the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in approximately 1,000 breast cancer patients.
The researchers found that an RB loss gene expression signature was associated with an improved pathological complete response in patients treated with three different chemotherapy regimens, regardless of estrogen receptor status. Increased expression of p16ink4a, a protein in the RB pathway, was associated with the RB-loss of signature, and p16ink4a mRNA levels were associated with pathological complete response. The association of RB loss and elevated p16ink4a with pathological complete response was also observed in an independent cohort.
"These data indicate that RB-status is associated with the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer and could be employed to inform treatment," Witkiewicz and colleagues conclude.

With over 1300 entries this year we are very pleased to have got through the first round. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the dedicated staff working at our 130 NHS Forest sites who have helped make this project such a success!
This event has been a sell-out success and we are at maximum capacity!
The National Institute for Health Research has funded a new Health Protection Research Unit on environmental change and health based at the London School of Hygiene in partnership with Public Health England. Funding is available for 2 full-time PhD studentships to start in 2014/15.
The RCPsych have created a sustainability award this year for clinical teams who have reduced environmental impact of their practice in some way. http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/discoverpsychiatry/rcpsychawards2014.aspx#sustain please do make an entry as there is a good chance of winning!
Closing date is april 28th so not long…
Also, they might not continue if there are not enough entries
NHS Sustainability Day of Action takes place on 27th March, with lots of activities taking place around the country. The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare is encouraging partners to plant 2 trees at 2 o'clock to show its support for the NHS Forest. The trees are free, thanks to the kind sponsorship of The Great Outdoor Gym Company, but need ordering by Monday, 10th March. If you want to do something different, then find out what other trusts are pledging to do.
Those within the Oxford AHSN area (Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes) have access to sustainability workshops and also the opportunity to develop expertise in sustainable healthcare by becoming a trained sustainability champion. If you would like to take part in a Measuring Carbon Workshop, join us at the George Pickering Education Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, on either Wednesday 24th September or Wednesday 8th October.
A report from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the World Health Organisation details how cycling has the potential to save 10,000 lives and create employment over 76,000 jobs. Alongside the health and environment co-benefits, Unlocking New Opportunities finds that active travel brings economic value.
Nearly 500 trees were planted on 27th March around the country for the NHS Sustainability Day of Action. Those planting trees for the NHS Forest's 2@2 campaign included Prime Minister David Cameron and Dame Sue Bailey, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists at the Warneford Hospital in Oxford and David Pencheon at the Sustainable Development Unit to chief executives and managers from trusts around the country, voluntary organisations and service users within the hospitals.
A brand new Award category for 2014 will recognise the work of a mental health team that has made an outstanding contribution to sustainability.

The ever popular and "Game of the Year" award winner, The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series by Telltale Games has finally come to next-gen platforms as it lands on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for the first time.
The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season - A Telltale Games Series and The Walking Dead: Season Two - A Telltale Games Series are both now available in stores and for download on both aforementioned systems in North America, and will be available in Europe on October 31st. Retail editions will also now be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for the first time.
The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series is based on Robert Kirkman's highly successful and award-winning comic book series The Walking Dead, which also spawned the hit television series now in its 5th season, AMC's The Walking Dead. The game offers an emotionally-charged, tailored game experience where every action you take and choice you make affects the outcome of the gameplay.
"Since the series premiere in 2012, the team has been incredibly proud to continue breaking new ground in the art of interactive drama as part of Robert Kirkman's award-winning universe," said Kevin Bruner, President and Co-Founder at Telltale Games. "Now available on over six thousand devices from console to mobile, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 formats usher in an even greater reach for Telltale, and we're excited to be preparing players across the world for a thrilling third season that's yet to come."
The game series to date has sold more than 39 million episodes worldwide, and the first season earned more than 90 Game of the Year awards from various outlets including USA Today, Spike TV VGAs, Wired, Mashable, and others. It also received two BAFTA Video Games Awards for Best Story and Best Mobile Game. IGN.com raved about the second season finale, rating it a 9.5 out of 10 and Editor's Choice, calling it "provocative, painful, and unforgettable," saying "This is perhaps the most heartbreaking and tense episode of anything Telltale has ever made. How Clementine braces for the impact of everything in front of her is up to you - and where that takes her left me in awe." Nerdist gave it a 5 out of 5, calling it Grisly, gripping, but never gratuitous..."
The Walking Dead: Season Two - A Telltale Games Series continues the story of Clementine, a young girl orphaned at the outset of the undead apocalypse, left to survive in a world gone mad. Players will struggle to outwit both the dead and the living in situations that will test their morals and control the flow of the story through the choices that they make.
The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season is rated 'M' (Mature) for Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, and Strong Language by the ESRB. The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series - Season Two is rated 'M' (Mature) for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Suggestive Themes, and Use of Alcohol and Tobacco by the ESRB.
For more information on the game, visit the official website, Facebook, and follow Telltale Games on Twitter. For more information on The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, and all of his titles, visit www.Skybound.com and www.TheWalkingDead.com.
Toy Vault has announced it will release a version of the Tall Card card game, which was played on an episode of Firefly, in Q1 2015.
The fictional card game originated in the Firefly television episode Shindig, in which members of the Serenity crew played the poker-like game to pass the time, using chores as wagering items instead of chips or money.
The box will include over 45 cards, including the round "Tall Cards" seen on the episode. The box also contains more than 50 additional cards players can customize to make their own games. MSRP is $19.99.
Toy Vault has also released the Firefly: Out to the Black card game, for which it released two expansion packs last spring.

At the Spiel game fair in Essen, Germany, Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast announced plans to release a new tactical miniatures game based on the Magic: The Gathering CCG property in Fall 2015.
The official name of the game has not been released, but is being referenced by the placeholder title Magic: The Gathering Strategy Board Game. The game is being co-developed by WotC and Hasbro's "team responsible for Risk Legacy and Heroscape".
The game is aimed at strategy game players, as well as M:TG players, though the game does not incorporate the card game itself. Rather it takes place in the Magic universe, and will include many references to and elements from the card game. Magic cards are not used in the game, but several mechanics (deathtouch, flying, first strike) from the CCG are incorporated.
Set in the world of Shandalar, players take the role of one of five iconic Planeswalkers (Chandra Nalaar, Jace Beleren, Nissa Revane, Liliana Vess , and a fifth to be named later) and then customize the battlefield by designing the map, placing terrain and power glyphs in various locations to aid their battle. The players then move their figure and creature squads around the map to out-maneuver opponents. Players will cast spells, summon creature squads, and tap unique Planeswalker abilities in an effort to defeat their opponents. The game is for 2-5 players, and plays in 25-45 minutes (depending on number of players and experience level).
The game will be available through both hobby distribution and through mass market retailers. MSRP was not announced.
Fantasy Flight Games has announced several new expansion packs for its big box Star Wars: Imperial Assault board game. The Ally and Villain Packs will release in Q1.
The seven packs include: Han Solo Ally Pack ($9.95), Chewbacca Ally Pack($9.95), Rebel Troopers Ally Pack ($14.95), Rebel Saboteurs Ally Pack($12.95), General Weiss Villain Pack ($19.95), Royal Guard Champion Villain Pack ($9.95), and the IG-88 Villain Pack ($9.95). Each pack includes detailed plastic figures with replace the tokens found in the Imperial Assault core set, new Reward cards, Agenda cards, Command cards, and new missions for both the campaign game and the skirmish game.
Funding for Star Citizen keeps rolling in -- the game just hit the $55 million mark, Cloud Imperium Games founder Chris Roberts writes in a new letter to his backers.
How has the game raised so much money? In part by selling spaceships to prospective players -- an incredibly lucrative practice. Less than a year ago, the game had raised only $26 million.
More interesting is that the ongoing funding campaign has brought major changes to the game's production, as compared to publisher-funded, packaged games; the game is being developed in modular pieces at different studios, which are being distributed to backers in alpha form long before the final launch, when all those pieces will come together.
In the new post, Roberts writes about his intention for "all the money we bring in before launch to be spent on development," and the fact that "I now look at our monthly fundraising and use that to set the amount of resources being used to develop this game," a bigger suggestion of just how the game's funding format has changed its production.
Notable, also, is that the in-house and outsourced developers for Star Citizen have now reached more than 280. The game is being developed by studios including Roberts' Cloud Imperium and independent studio Behaviour Interactive.

Pinnacle Entertainment Group will release a new science fiction roleplaying game The Last Parsec, which utilizes its Savage Worlds RPG system, in 2015. The game is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.
The Last Parsec RPG requires the Savage Worlds core rules and the Savage Worlds Science Fiction Companion to play. Since the basic game rules already exist, and the Science Fiction Companion outlines races, technology, ships, and creatures, the first three The Last Parsec books, Leviathan, Scientorium, and Eris Beta-V, focus on settings and adventures. Each full-color, 96-page book contains detailed background on a system, planet, or other location, as well as any new Edges, Hindrances, Gear, Ships, or Setting Rules important to the area. Each book also contains a Plot Point Campaign, Savage Tales, and a Bestiary covering the strange creatures and characters players may encounter. The books will be available in Pinnacle's "standard graphic novel" format in softcover. For the Kickstarter, a limited edition hardcover ($25.00 Retail) is being produced. It is unclear if that hardcover will be available to trade as well.
Other The Last Parsec products include a tri-fold GM Screen +Adventure, which includes The Last Parsec Primer and The Enigma Equation original adventure ($20.00), a Dropship and Freighter dry-erase, poster-size ship map ($15.00), the Pirate and Research Vessel dry-erase poster-size ship map ($15.00), and a Double Action Deck ($30.00). A miniatures pack, which included nine exclusive miniatures representing some of the most popular archetypes from the Savage Worlds Science Fiction Companion and The Last Parsec, was produced by Bronze Age Miniatures, and will include the aurax, construct, deader, male and female human, insectoid, kalian, Serran, and yeti miniatures.
The Kickstarter quickly passed its modest $8,000 goal, and has raised $39,310 from 421 backers ($93.37 average/backer) as of this writing, with 23 days to go. There is a "Rogue Trader" level available for brick and mortar retailers for multiple copies of the various books, GM screen and action deck. Backer fulfillment is estimated as May 2015, with trade release to follow.
In the Kickstarter statement, Pinnacle announced plans to produce a second wave of books and other material as well as an expanded setting book "sometime in 2015."
Gale Force Nine's next planned expansion for its bestselling Firefly: The Game is aimed at more experienced players and collectors; the Resin Ships miniatures expansion will release in February.
The Blue Sun Expansion is now in wide release, and that big-box expansion was aimed at more experienced players who want to explore the ';verse more extensively. In a similar appeal to miniatures aficionados, GF9 is applying parent Battlefront Miniatures' expertise with high end miniatures to put out high-quality, customizable resin ships, similar to their Dungeons & Dragons line.
The box will include a full set of the models from the base game that have been re-mastered and produced in high detail resin. The six ships (4 Firefly Class, 1 Reaver Cutter, 1 Tohoku-class Alliance Cruiser) are supplied unpainted, and some assembly may be required. MSRP is $50.00.
Firefly: The Game has been a Top 10 hobby channel board game since its release, and currently holds the #3 position on the Spring chart.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will receive exclusive Batman of the Future-themed DLC on PlayStation consoles, developer TT Games has announced.
Due for release on PS3 and PS4, the expansion pack will add eight characters from the animated television series to the game's free play mode.
Players will have the chance to control futuristic Batman Terry McGinnis, who comes with an array of high-tech gadgets and the powers of flight and invisibility.
Other new characters featured in the pack include an aged Bruce Wayne, Mr Freeze, Joker, Bonk, Blight, and Inque.
All Lego Batman 3 DLC will be priced at £2.55, but a Season Pass will be available for PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC priced at £12.79.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be released on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PS Vita, Wii U, 3DS and PC on November 14.

This past Wednesday, the free-to-play MOBA game Infinite Crisis from Turbine based in the DC Universe launched its largest update yet. This update introduced a new tutorial mode where players are coached by famed DC heroes, and they unlock six free Champions as they learn to master the game. If that isn't enough, the update also featured huge performance improvements, completely remastered maps, and two brand new champions: Atomic Joker and Nightmare Robin! Check out the videos, images (click to enlarge) and bios below!
Nightmare Robin
Universe of Origin: Nightmare
Alignment: Hero
For millennia, the vampire Ra's al Ghul used his League of Assassins to manipulate Earth-19 from the shadows. His daughter, Talia, also cursed with vampirism, desired her father's power. All Talia's efforts failed until she finally found the edge that she required, a man who was strong enough to challenge the Demon's Head: Bruce Wayne.
Talia, knowing Bruce was Batman, spent years influencing him toward her ultimate goal of her father's destruction. Yet she would leave nothing to chance. Talia created a child, the perfect union of her family's vision and Bruce Wayne's potential. She named the boy Damian, training him in secret before sending him to apprentice with her estranged lover, as Robin.
Here, once more, Talia's plans met with frustration.
In the final confrontation between Batman and Ra's al Ghul, Damian realized the depth of his mother's depraved manipulation when Batman was infected by his grandfather. Damian watched as Batman, the man he loved and respected, became a ravening monster, succumbing to the curse of vampirism. The ashes of his father's humanity kindled a burning certainty that the blood of al Ghul could only birth monsters.
Now, feeling the compulsion of his own vampiric curse, the young Damien fights a war to scourge the filth of vampirism from the world.
Atomic Joker
Universe of Origin: Atomic
Alignment: Villain
When they broke into an abandoned military bunker, those blighted survivors of the nuclear war couldn't have realized what they were about to unleash on themselves. Within its derelict walls, they discovered a hibernating computer system. Sensing their movements, the system activated and they found attached to it the head of the Joker suspended in a preservation vessel. The Joker welcomed them with a cackle and told them it was time to build the future.
The Joker told them that the military had wanted to use his unique mind to come up with nuclear war scenarios. Displaying a brutal pragmatism that the Joker appreciated, they put his head in a preservation vessel and got rid of the "superfluous" parts. Now that the "serious" world was dead and gone, he told the survivors, it was time to build a new "crazy" one. So desperate were the survivors that they decided to listen to the Joker and began building a new community within the bunker.
As the community prospered, the survivors increasingly followed the Joker's orders without question, until they eventually had no will of their own. When the Joker commanded that his vessel be attached to the back of one of his minions, so that he could better see the world he was building, many vied for the honor.

Developer and publisher Electronic Arts is one of many corporate partners supporting the "It's On Us" initiative, a public campaign launched this week by President Obama that aims to raise awareness about -- and hopefully curtail -- sexual assault on academic campuses.
Campaign organizers are asking supporters to take a pledge that entails watching for and intervening against potential instances of sexual assault, and the BBC reports that EA intends to advertise the pledge to its customers across the company's online game platforms.
This partnership is in line with EA's growing track record of supporting initiatives that raise awareness about social issues -- last year the company spearheaded a small summit to discuss LGBT issues in the game industry and threw its support behind the inaugural GaymerX conference.

I have lived in Dallas my entire life, and thought it might be really helpful to make a Dallas City Guide with all of my top picks in the city I know best. Dallas has almost too many places to eat and shop, so it is really helpful when visiting to have someone narrow all of the options down for you! Unfortunately, Dallas isn't the most naturally beautiful city in the country, but it still has so much to do if you have a few days to spend wandering around the city!
I did a three part series on my blog that has restaurants broken out by meal, all of the best places to shop, and a few of the best sights to see.

Where to Eat, Shop, & Play in Dallas
I have lived in Dallas my entire life, and thought it might be really helpful to make a Dallas City Guide with all of my top picks in the city I know best. Dallas has almost too many places to eat and shop, so it is really helpful when visiting to have someone narrow all of the options down for you! Unfortunately, Dallas isn't the most naturally beautiful city in the country, but it still has so much to do if you have a few days to spend wandering around the city!

I've a work trip to Dallas at the beginning of October. I will stay 2 extra days. The hotel is at the airport so I'm planning on moving to downtown? when it's my extra 2 days off. I'll be there Friday/Saturday and leaving on Sunday. What can I see and do in that time--where should I stay for a hotel. Any help would be appreciated.

The airport (DFW) is about 30 minutes from the Downtown area of Dallas, so I think you are right to move Downtown after your business trip.
Depending on what type of hotel you are looking for ... Dallas has a bit of everything. Some of the most popular hotels near or in Downtown are The Joule, The Stoneleigh, and the Crescent. The Adolphus is a downtown hotel that is usually more affordable (it is in need of a bit of a renovation), but it is still well-known and popular.
You can't go wrong with the restaurants from my blog post above. Check and see if the place you choose takes reservations, that always helps.
I would check and see if there are any professional sports games going on when you are here if that is something that you are in to. If not, check out the Meyerson and the AT&T performing arts center sites to see if the symphony or another event is happening while you are here.
If you are in to mueseums- spend an afternoon at the Dallas Mueseum of Art and the Nasher Scuplture Center, which are right next to one another and are downtown.
If you would rather spend the day outside (it should be a bit more pleasant by October) go to the Arboretum. The State Fair may also be going on depending on which weekend you are here in October.
Also plenty of places to shop in my shopping guide- Dallas is definitely an eat and shop type of place.
Hope this helps!

No Twisted Root Burger
No French Room
No Eatzi's
No Kenny's Wood Fire Grill
No Pappadeaux, Papasittos, or Papa Bros
No Patrizzio
These are some great places I don't see on your list, and I could list many more.
Rise NO 1. How do you know the it is good if you haven't had a souffle before> just curious?
Report Abuse
Not sure I would send out of towners to any Papas or Eatzi's. Fine places to eat, but there is certainly better steak, cajun, and tex-mex to be had than anything Papas puts out there - at better prices too. Eatzi's is good, but not anything special.

Spirobulldog- I had never had souffle until I had eaten at Rise, and now I really enjoy them. It says that in my description of the restaurant in the post in the link above.
All of your suggestions are great Dallas places as well, they just aren't my personal favorites. Thanks for adding to the list! I stop by Eatzis on a regular basis- but usually when I need a last minute meal. Patrizio is wonderful- I have been making trips there for their Italian Cream Cake for many years.

Syrian Govt Air Attacks in Aleppo 'Killed 1963 People' in 2014
Almost 2000 people lost their lives in air attacks in Aleppo committed by government forces in 2014, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) argues.
As many as 283 woman and 567 children are included in the death toll, the organization reports as quoted by Al Jazeera.
"Barrel bombs" are used by government forces as a measure to crack down the rebellion in the northern city, which was once the country's economic heart but has been the scene of violence since 2012.
Rebels and Bashar al-Assad's regime are taking turns to seize control of different parts of Aleppo.
SOHR says an average of 14 people die every day in the city because of these air raids.
Data by the activist group suggests that Syria's civil war, which began after Damascus's move to quell mass protests in 2011, has taken the lives of more that 162 000.

Rain and the threat of severe weather are blamed for a drop in attendance at the Nebraska State Fair, which ended Monday.
Heavy rain held down the Grand Island crowds at the beginning of the week and then Sunday's forecast may have kept people home. Sunday's attendance was down 36 percent from last year's final Sunday.
Threats of two-inch hail, 70 mph winds and heavy rainfall on Sunday were topped by the forecast possibility of a tornado. Fair executive director Joe McDermott says it turned out that Grand Island had great weather on Sunday, but he thinks the forecast likely swayed people's decisions about attending the fair.

By Paul Whitfield, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Trouble is part of any endeavor.
A retired boxer was asked to evaluate a kid who wanted to go pro. After watching a workout, he told the kid that he had the hand speed but not the foot speed. Feet get a boxer out of trouble, he said. Without it, you lose.
Most people don't think about foot speed when they think about boxing. Likewise, too few investors think about getting out of trouble quickly when a stock starts to pound them with losses.
All investors will eventually find themselves in a losing situation. How quickly they recognize and escape that situation is what separates winners from losers.
Here's how some experienced stock-market winners escaped serious trouble:
Gerald Loeb: In "How to Make Money in Stocks," IBD founder and Chairman William O'Neil writes about a conversation he had with the E.F. Hutton co-founder. He asked Loeb if he followed the advice of his book and always cut losses at 10%. "I would hope to be out long before they ever reach 10%," Loeb said.
Accomplished investors develop the judgment to get out of a stock before it hits the maximum loss they are willing to endure.
William O'Neil: Cutting losses at 7% to 8% below the buy point, with no exceptions, is what O'Neil advises. "The average of all your losses should be less, perhaps 5% or 6%, if you're strictly disciplined and fast on your feet," he wrote.
Jesse Livermore: The legendary investor said, "Always sell what shows you a loss and keep what shows you a profit." Livermore favored cutting losses quickly. He set his exit at 10%. Livermore acquired this habit as a result of his early investing at bucket shops.
Bucket shops, now illegal, let people bet on whether a stock would rise or fall. A loss kicked bettors out of the game.
William Astrop: The chairman of Astrop Advisory Corp. adds a twist to his sell rule. The money manager recommends investors sell half of a holding when it's down 5% from cost and sell the other half if it falls 10% under the entry price. That makes for a worst-case loss of 7.5% overall.
Peter Lynch: The former manager of Fidelity Magellan isn't associated with a specific loss-cutting percentage. But in his book, "Beating the Street," Lynch cautioned against a "buy-and-forget strategy." He recommended investors do a six-month portfolio checkup to determine if the stock's story is getting better, worse or is unchanged. If it's worse, "decrease your investment," Lynch said.
Lynch noted that novice investors often pocket their gains and let their losses run.
"Some stocks go up 20%, 30% and they get rid of it and they hold onto the dogs," Lynch said in a PBS interview. "And it's sort of like watering the weeds and cutting out the flowers."
Remember that new issue you bought awhile back this year when it was breaking out of a first-stage IPO base? Up 7% in heavy volume with solid fundamentals? A thing of beauty. But instead of rising even more, the stock reversed in higher volume. Then it fell again. And again. Before you knew it, you ...
IBD founder and Chairman William O'Neil teaches that one key to success in the stock market is not just to be right on a stock but also to make big money when you're right. Experienced investors know that when the dust settles after a rally, the lion's share of your profits will be in one or two ...
Successful investing requires longevity. After all, it's a lifelong pursuit, so objective number one is to keep yourself in the game. That's why IBD's golden rule is to sell any stock that falls 7%-8% below the price you paid for it. This one simple rule will keep you in the game through many ...
The next several Investor's Corner columns will suggest ways to boost your stock portfolio return, immediately and in the long run. Suggestion No. 1: Invest only in truly innovative companies. Innovative, fast-growing and dynamic companies are often the most compelling growth stocks. Quite ...
While IBD's focus is on leading stocks, investors should also take a look at exchanged-traded funds, or ETFs. ETFs can help enhance your investing experience and boost your stock-market profits. Investors can also use ETFs to glean more information about the market. Due to their low cost and ...

I recently read a good write-up on tree structures in PostgreSQL. Hierarchical data is notoriously tricky to model in a relational database, and a variety of techniques have grown out of developers' attempts to optimize for certain types of queries.
In his post, Graeme describes several approaches to modeling trees, including:
In the comments, some users pointed out that the ltree extension could also be used to efficiently store and query materialized paths. LTrees support two powerful query languages (lquery and ltxtquery) for pattern-matching LTree labels and performing full-text searches on labels.
One technique that was not discussed in Graeme's post was the use of closure tables. A closure table is a many-to-many junction table storing all relationships between nodes in a tree. It is related to the adjacency model, in that each database row still stores a reference to its parent row. The closure table gets its name from the additional table, which stores each combination of ancestor/child nodes.

For the past week or two I've been spending some of my spare time working on a web-based SQLite database browser. I thought this would be a useful project, because I've switched all my personal projects over to SQLite and foresee using it for pretty much everything. It also dovetailed with some work I'd been doing lately on peewee regarding reflection and code generation. So it seemed like some pretty good bang/buck, especially given my perception that there weren't many SQLite browsers out there (it turns out there are quite a few, however). I'm sharing it in the hopes that other devs (and non-devs?) find it useful.

In my last post, I wrote about how to work with encrypted SQLite databases with Python. As an example application of these libraries, I showed some code fragments for a fictional diary program. Because I was thinking the examples directory of the peewee repo was looking a little thin, I decided to flesh out the diary program and include it as an example.
In this post, I'll go over the diary code in the hopes that you may find it interesting or useful. The code shows how to use the peewee SQLCipher extension. I've also implemented a simple command-line menu loop. All told, the code is less than 100 lines!

SQLCipher, created by Zetetic, is an open-source library that provides transparent 256-bit AES encryption for your SQLite databases. SQLCipher is used by a large number of organizations, including Nasa, SalesForce, Xerox and more. The project is open-source and BSD licensed. Best of all, there are open-source python bindings.
A GitHub user known as The Dod was kind enough to contribute a sqlcipher playhouse module, making it a snap to use Peewee with SQLCipher.
In this post, I'll show how to compile SQLCipher and the pysqlcipher bindings, then use peewee ORM to work with an encrypted SQLite database.

A while back I wrote about using Flask to create a note-taking app. The goal of that app was to make it really easy for me to save little notes from my phone or computer. In the first follow-up post, I showed how to transition the JSON views to a full-featured RESTful API. I also showed how to add email reminders and to-do lists with checkable items to the notes app. Then in the most recent post, I showed how to leverage SQLite's full-text search extension to make the notes searchable. In this, the final installment, I'll show how I built a command-line client for the note-taking app.
Here is how the notes app looked when we left off at the end of part 3:
If you'd like to follow along, you can find the source code for the most recent version of the note-taking app in this gist:

I recently became acquainted with the dataset project while browsing a curated list of awesome SQLAlchemy resources. I was intrigued by the project's simplicity, and apparently I'm not the only one as the project has quite a few followers on GitHub. Since peewee has the ingredients required to provide a similar API (reflection, schema migrations), I decided it might be a fun project to add a DataSet-like module to the playhouse extension collection.
I feel like the best way to explain DataSet is to show it in action, so let's take a look at what it can do.
>>> from playhouse.dataset import DataSet
>>> db = DataSet('sqlite:///:memory:')
>>> people = db['people'] # This will create the people table.
>>> people.insert(name='charlie', gender='M')
>>> people.insert(name='huey', gender='M', favorite_color='blue')
>>> list(people)
[{'favorite_color': None, 'gender': u'M', 'id': 1, 'name': u'charlie'},
{'favorite_color': u'blue', 'gender': u'M', 'id': 2, 'name': u'huey'}]
>>> people.update(favorite_color='green', name='charlie', columns=['name'])
>>> people.find_one(name='charlie')['favorite_color']

In preparation for the fourth and final installment in the "Flask Note-taking app" series, I found it necessary to improve the search feature of the note-taking app. In this post we will use SQLite's full-text search extension to improve the search feature.
To recap, the note-taking app provides a lightweight interface for storing markdown-formatted notes. Because I frequently find myself wanting to take notes on the spur of the moment, the note-taking app needed to be very mobile-friendly. By using twitter bootstrap and a hefty dose of JavaScript, we made an app that matches our spec and manages to look good doing it!
In part 2, we added email reminders and check-able task lists to the note-taking app. We also converted the backend to use flask-peewee's REST API extension, which made it easy to add pagination and search. And that is how I've left it for the last three months or so.
Below is a screenshot of the latest version of the notes app. The UI is much cleaner thanks to a stylesheet from bootswatch. The bootswatch stylesheet works as a drop-in replacement for the default bootstrap CSS file.
All together, the note-taking app has the following features:
You can browse or download the finished code from part 2 in this gist. If you're in a hurry, you can find all the code from this post in this gist.
In case you were curious, I've been using the notes app for things like:

A couple years back I wrote about building an Analytics service with Cassandra. As fun as that project was to build, the reality was that Cassandra was completely unsuitable for my actual needs, so I decided to switch to something simpler. I'm happy to say the replacement app has been running without a hitch for the past 5 months taking up only about 20 MB of RAM! In this post I'll show how to build a lightweight Analytics service using Flask.

For personal projects I like using SQLite, but when I need something more powerful I turn to Postgresql. Because peewee supports both of these databases (as well as MySQL), it is limited to a lowest-common-denominator feature set. While this encompasses a broad range of features, each database engine has its own extensions and I've been interested in adding some pythonic support for the cooler extensions.
Here are some of the fun things you can find in peewee's playhouse (collection of extensions):
This post will showcase the peewee support for HStore, JSON document store, and arrays. I've written elsewhere about SQLite's full-text search, so if you're a SQLite user you may want to check out that post.
To follow along at home, feel free to install peewee:
pip install peewee

"I used a profile picture on the back and the light green for the single letter. The designers were very helpful and took off the 'visit' line for me when i asked, no problem. The shipping was very quick. When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the weight and quality of the card. This card is a classic feel, and the picture allows people to remember you. Truly fantastic!"
"Quick Delivery, Easy Designing Process, Wonderful & Modern Designs, Plenty of Options, Beautiful Website, A Small Business Essential, Actual Product is Excellent Quality. Definitely Recommend."
"This card was perfect. They were able to change the color for me and add a small motif. I love the square shape and my girlfriends love it too!!!"
"Great design selections, easy to customize superb customer service. I loved my final product and the quick turn around. The entire process went very smoothly. I highly recommend tiny prints for your cards, invitations, banner printing needs."
"Great communication re: online proofing. Paper is beautiful. More than pleased with how they turned out and excited to start handing them out!"

Originally written on Minus Twenty-Two | Last updated 11/8/14
Dennis Allen filled another vacancy in his coaching staff on Wednesday after he hired Tony Sparano to be his offensive line coach and assistant head coach. In 2012, Sparano was the offensive coordinator for the Jets but was sacrificed by Rex Ryan as the fall guy for their comically atrocious offense and season. Before his lone year in New York, Sparano, who has 30 years of coaching experience, was previously the Dolphins head coach during four seasons from 2008 to 2011. Sparano could be seen as responsible for the Wildcat package's emergence in the NFL. During his time coaching the Dolphins, they were the first team to effectively use the offensive wrinkle on a consistent basis, resulting in many teams playing copycat. With Sparano on board, don't be surprised if the Raiders implement the Wildcat, playing to the strengths of Darren McFadden and Terrelle Pryor.
