By now I'm sure you've seen first-hand how Composer can help manage dependencies; I've grown quite fond of it myself, using it for the downloadable code samples on GitHub for PHPMaster articles. Readers can peruse through just the relevant source code on GitHub if they like, and a quick git clone and composer install can get them the code and all the dependencies necessary to play with the code locally. But what about taking it to the next level?

It is every day, or so it seems, that a pedestrian film festival takes over a screen or two in Miami. It isn't every day that an innovative, complete, professional, lively, and good one grabs our attention. The first gay and lesbian festival last year was a surprising success. The second one, held in April, proves it has depth and stamina. The best thing about this festival is that while it has offered topnotch international fare, it also feels local. The Miami mixture of vibrant gay and Latin cultures is unique, and the festival reflects that. Experimental films, mainstream films, films that dealt with being gay in Latin America, with being gay in Miami, shorts, features, documentaries -- all got an airing in an atmosphere that felt fresh and progressive. Just as the Miami International Film Festival brought out a cultural community many thought didn't exist, so too is the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival fostering a community intent on offering a higher aesthetic to our area. Sure there was some celluloid fluff; in that sense gay crowd pleasers are no different from their straight counterparts. But there also were profound, moving, even shocking entries, the kind of stuff you might not see elsewhere again -- hey, just what a film festival is supposed to deliver. Maybe the most exciting hours this year were produced by the inspired decision to show the excellent British television show Queer As Folk in three movie-length segments. When you hear a packed house laugh, boo, cheer, cry, and applaud over witty, sexy, intelligent film, you know you've landed a seat in the right festival.

SMITH COUNTY — A Chandler woman was killed in a Smith County crash this morning.
Department of Public Safety troopers say 37-year-old Jennifer Parker was traveling on Highway 31, just west of Farm-to-Market road 3661 around 8 this morning when the crash happened.
Troopers say Parker was talking on her cell phone when she went off the road. She over-corrected and struck a pick-up truck before her vehicle overturned.
She was not wearing a seatbelt and was partially ejected.
Parker was announced dead at the scene. The other driver was not injured.

Hey you's guys! Grab your baby oil and muscle shirts! We're heading back to the Jersey Shore (Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET, on MTV) for one last season of GTL (gym, tanning, laundry). In past seasons, that acronym could also have stood for Getting Totally Liquored up. Or Getting Totally Laid. But judging by the season 6 premiere, things have changed for the Seaside Heights gang.
"Everything has to come to an end," Pauly D recently told The Huffington Post. "'Sopranos' ended. 'Entourage' ended. 'Jersey Shore' has to end."
And the season's first episode certainly feels like the beginning of the end. Snooki's six months pregnant and engaged to Jionni. Mike is sober after a month-long stint in rehab. Vinny is vowing to remain celibate throughout the summer. Deena is in a serious relationship (nine months in a row!). JWoww is still with boyfriend (now fiance!) Roger. And Sammi and Ron are on again, even though they are still having alcohol-fueled spat, which we now know, is part of their dysfunctional mating ritual. Only Pauly is primed for the usual drunken hook ups that these hooligans are known for.
Can our favorite party people still have fun despite all these issues? That's the dramatic question that unfolds as the gang packs up and heads to the shore for one last hoorah. And at first, the situation (note the little 's') seems dire.
Mike is weirdly nice, preparing dinner for his friends' arrival. Everyone gets up early in the morning, and despite some tension between Mike and Snooki (who doesn't buy his myriad apologies to the group for his bad behavior last season), all is fairly calm. When the group goes to their favorite dance club, Karma, Snooki goes on the world's most boring date with Jionni, and doesn't hide her displeasure. Boy, being pregnant is a drag. She can't drink, she can't exercise, and she has no sex drive. When MTV shows a flashback of Snooki from a past season (which it does throughout the show to commemorate the final season), viewers are reminded that Snooki is the boozy, smart-mouthed soul of this show. But in season 6, she's been reduced to complaining, eye rolling and pouting.
WATCH: The ladies of the Shore play Name the Jersey Shore Quotes with iVillage!
Then there's the wet blanket of Mike's newly sober state. This is wonderful for him, and all wrong for the show. When he goes to Karma and points out the bad choices his drunk friends are making, you can't help but shout at the TV, "Hey, Mike! That's the audience's job! We viewers judge you, get it?"
In the end, though, Deena saves the day, providing enough craziness and stupidity to cover for her sober pals. "What's integrity?" she asks JWoww, while the pair get drunk on girlie drinks at a bar. "I think integrity means like shame. Like I have a lot of shame so I have integrity. Right?"
While JWoww laughs at her friend's ignorance, Deena soldiers on. "Like say I was not wearing my underwears and then I like pelvic thrusted the window with no underwears on, and I was like, 'No shame!'" she says. "That would be integrity."
"That would be a lack of integrity," says the bartender, who helpfully explains that actually, integrity is "overall well-being, high morals, values."
"People can just go to school at a bar," says Deena. "It's like a class."
Naturally, it's lost on Deena that a lack of integrity is, in fact, the very heart of her show. For heaven's sake, it's the theme of Jersey Shore. Some people call it harmless fun; others say the show denigrates our society as a whole. But no one disputes the fact that a spectacular lack of integrity is what makes the Shore gang tick, and why a frighteningly large number of viewers tune in. It's why Snooki and Mike's new, responsible choices are such a drag, and why lushes like Deena need to pick up the "shameful" slack.
By the end of the episode, Snooki has arranged to move out of the house (and into the apartment next door), clearing the way for Deena to become the chief meatball. And based on the previews for the season ahead, she steps right into Snooki's crazy-person stilettos. This is great news for Deena. If she keeps it up, MTV might just give her her own spin-off show.

what is the use of creating the following type of syntax ?
animal b = new horse();
where animal is the super class and horse is the subclass ?
what is the difference between the above syntax and the following syntax :
horse b = new horse ();
thankx anyway !!!

Imagine you program a small mini framework. The code works. Now one of the clients decides to overwrite some behavior here and there. This is fine since you old code would simply cast it's way up to the concrete class that was assigned to the super type.
This is called
and is one of the core concepts of
. It keeps code extensible.
Also, there is a principle that says 'Program to an Interface, not to an Implementation'

Welcome to JavaRanch. Please check your
private messages
for an administrative matter from JavaRanch.
About your question: It is a good design principle to
program to an interface, not an implementation
. Programming to an interface, instead of a specific implementation of the interface, decouples your code from that specific implementation. Look at this example:
List<String> data = new ArrayList<String>();
Suppose that sometime later you discover that in this particular case, it would be better to use a LinkedList instead of an ArrayList. Now you can just change the code to this:
List<String> data = new LinkedList<String>();
And you're done. The rest of your program only needs to know that data is a List of
objects - it does not need to know what implementation of interface List is used.

Simple thing you need to get here is polymorphism helps in reassigning something else later on without actually modufying the entire code.
anime A = new horse() and later on you want to use dog as an animal as you found horse is too big and its not that friendly too so you bring a dog and assign it to your animal designation animal A = new dog(). with horse h = new horse(), h will complain if you try to bring in a dog and assign it to the dog as it was not compatible to hold the dog and assume they have some enmity between them

for small projects where one person usually writes all the code, it is often hard to make a solid case.
but if one is selling code to dozens or hundreds of customers, you have options:
1) tell them you'll give them an animal.
2) tell them you'll give them a horse.
Let's assume you do option 2. They write thousand and thousands of lines of code, each time explicitly naming the Horse class. Now for some reason, you decide that to improve your code. You may not want to always return a horse, but maybe a mule, or a llama, or some other pack animal that may work better in some cases.
All your customers have to review all their code, looking for any place they have a Horse reference, and re-code.
Now let's assume I tell my customers I'll give them an animal. at first, the only animal I can return is a Horse, but they don't need to know that. So, they write all their code using an Animal reference. When I decide to start returning llamas sometimes, my customers don't need to change a thing.
all your customers get mad at your design, that when they re-factor their code, they do it to use MY package. all your customers are gone, and my customer base has doubled.
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors
I agree. Here's the link:

|Brief Summary
The Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy (DOS) measure the absolute concentrations of reduced and oxygenated hemoglobins ([Hb-R] and [HbO2], respectively) as well as the water and lipid concentrations of the tissue.
|Detailed Description
DOS have been shown to correlate with invasive measures of cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, blood loss, and blood hemoglobin concentration.
The researchers want to use DOS as a means to monitor volume changes during the hemodialysis treatment and to correlate the changes in volume and blood pressure with the measures of oxidative stress and inflammation used in this study.
The researchers want compared to a variety of laboratory parameters routinely measured in CKD subjects (GFR, proteinuria, Hg, serum albumin, bicarbonate, calcium, phosphorous, iron saturation, ferritin, lipid profiles, PTH) and to clinical parameters such as cause of CKD, blood pressure and dialysis-related parameters.

SOUTHLAKE — The Carroll school board gave preliminary approval Monday night to a propsal to allow students who live within the Southlake city limits but who are in the Keller or Northwest school districts to transfer without charge to Carroll schools.Trustees voted 6-0 in favor of the policy change. Place 5 Trustee Erin Shoupp was not present for the vote.Transfers would be granted for only one regular school year at a time, and each student would have to reapply annually."I want to make sure we are incredibly clear" on that point, Place 6 Trustee Matt Kormann said before the vote.About 400 children would qualify, administrators say.The second reading and final vote are planned for June 24. Two Southlake residents who live in the Keller district spoke in favor of open enrollment."We want to be part of the community," Kristle Wachtler told trustees. The school community should include all Southlake residents, and students who don't attend Carroll schools often feel ostracized, she said."They don't fit into Southlake, and they don't fit into Keller," she said.Open enrollment could help bring state dollars to Carroll, but trustees said they wanted to make sure the district doesn't end up spending more money in the long run. Carroll could get about $5,500 from the state for every student who transfers.The 2012-13 Carroll budget included an estimated shortfall of $1.6 million. In 2011, state funding reductions resulted in more than $8 million in cuts.The district already offers transfers to some students, including the children of district employees and students in the Carroll Medical Academy.The Carroll district had 7,688 students this school year, 87 percent of whom live in Southlake. The others live in Grapevine.By 2020-21, the district is expected to grow to 7,958 students, according to a recent presentation of demographic projections. Campuses such as Old Union Elementary and Eubanks Intermediate are projected to steadily decrease over the next eight school years, according to the study. This report contains material from Star-Telegram archives.

Got the histogram code to the point where it proved it would be largely useless. Need to rethink that now. Interestingly, it proved out some of the wisdom of an "agile" approach. I've actually been bogged down for a while figuring out all of the logic required for the (rather generic) graph-drawing code. Today I just decided to hard code some values and see what it would look like. Now that I know that, I can see how useless the histogram approach would be for this application, so don't need to do the generic graph-drawing code at all (well, until we have some other graph-requiring task).
Spent the rest of the day working on a new hierarchy type. Will see whether it turns out to be useful. Will need to be made considerably more efficient if it does (it's currently implemented as a just-in-time calculation that occurs for every load, if it's frequently accessed that could be a performance problem).

Apple has been accused of censoring the iPad book chart after four pornographic titles mysteriously disappeared from the bestseller list, according to a "Telegraph" report (http://macosg.me/2/lo).
"Blonde and Wet, the Complete Story" was ranked first on the iPad in a top 10 that included three other erotic novellas Monday morning. But all four titles disappeared simultaneously and had been replaced with less risqué books, such as Peter Mandelson's autobiography, by the afternoon, notes the "Telegraph." Book chart analysts told the publication it was unlikely that all the erotic titles could have dropped out of the list at the same moment without being deliberately removed.
Of course, it's not the first time that Apple has faced accusations of censorship. The company embarked on a "great porn purge" in February, ridding its iPhone App Store of all "overtly sexual content," notes the "Telegraph."| Read more »

Modifying how urine culture results are reported to clinicians can improve prescribing practices, pilot study suggests
A simple change in how the hospital laboratory reports test results may help improve antibiotic prescribing practices and patient safety, according to a pilot, proof-of-concept study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases and now available online. No longer routinely reporting positive urine culture results for inpatients at low risk for urinary tract infections (UTIs) greatly reduced unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and did not affect the treatment of patients who did need antibiotics, the study authors found.
Urine cultures for hospitalized patients are often ordered unnecessarily. Positive culture results from patients without any UTI symptoms can lead to antibiotic prescriptions that are of no benefit and may cause harm to patients, including C. difficile infection and subsequent infection with more antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
In the study, conducted in 2013 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, urine culture results from non-catheterized inpatients—those at lower risk for developing a UTI—were no longer reported automatically to the ordering physician. Instead, a message was posted to the patient's electronic medical record asking caregivers to call the lab for the results only if a UTI was strongly suspected.
The message reminded providers that "the majority of positive urine cultures from inpatients without an indwelling urinary catheter represent asymptomatic bacteriuria," a condition for which current practice guidelines do not usually recommend antibiotics, unless the patient is pregnant or will be undergoing certain urological procedures.
After the change in how the culture results were reported, the rate of antibiotic treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria among non-catheterized patients decreased from 48 percent to 12 percent. Treatment rates among patients in the catheterized control group—whose culture results were routinely reported as before—remained steady, at 41 percent. Patients with positive culture results were assessed by a study investigator for UTI symptoms within 24 hours. Four UTIs developed among the non-catheterized patients; in all of these cases, clinicians had already started appropriate antibiotic treatment when the urine cultures were ordered, based on the patients' symptoms.
"In clinical medicine, there are many examples of tests that are not routinely processed or reported when they have been shown to be of very low yield or associated with potential harms, and special requests are required in these cases," said lead study author Jerome A. Leis, MD, MSc, of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. "We believe this to be true of some urine cultures from medical and surgical floors where we know that the majority of positive results occur in patients without symptoms of urinary tract infection and lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful therapy with antibiotics."
The study authors stressed the need for larger studies to confirm the overall generalizability, safety, and sustainability of such a change in urine culture reporting before it is implemented more broadly and in other practice settings.
Fast Facts:
1) Positive urine culture results for hospitalized patients at low risk for developing a urinary tract infection (UTI) can lead clinicians to prescribe unnecessary and sometimes harmful antibiotic therapy. Most positive urine cultures from inpatients who do not have a urinary catheter represent asymptomatic infections that do not require antibiotics.
2) In a pilot, proof-of-concept study, no longer routinely reporting positive urine culture results for inpatients at low risk for UTIs greatly reduced unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and did not affect the treatment of patients who did need antibiotics.
3) Larger studies are needed to confirm the generalizability, safety, and sustainability of such an approach before it is implemented more broadly and in other practice settings.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A plant pathologist at the LSU AgCenter has been honored for his contributions to managing major sweet potato diseases.
The AgCenter says the American Phytopathological (FIE-toh-PATH-uh-LAHJ-uh-kuhl) Society elected Chris Clark a fellow of the society.
Clark was among AgCenter scientists who developed the popular Beauregard sweet potato - the first variety resistant to a bacterial disease called Streptomyces (strep-toh-MIE-seez) soil rot.
He says viruses, which tend to accumulate in planting material, also limit sweet potato production. His research on viruses led to a virus-tested seed program. It produces clean plants from infected plants, then uses those plants to produce clean seed, which is then sold to growers.

Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) will mark April as Child Abuse Prevention Month with its annual Child Memorial April 24 at 11:30 a.m.
The solemn ceremony will begin at Government Center. Participants will march to the LCCS offices for the raising of the child memorial flag.
This year's ceremony will remember three-year-old Kaycie Bork, who died of alleged abuse in October 2008. It will also feature the winners of the agency's Child Abuse Prevention Month essay contest. Seventh- and eighth-graders from Lucas County were encouraged to write on the topic of "Every Child has the Right to Be Safe."
"Problems like child abuse and neglect, poor parenting skills and poverty continue to affect children in Lucas County," said Dean Sparks, executive director of Lucas County Children Services. "It is tragic that even one child died this year, and it's important that we recommit ourselves to preventing other children from suffering the same fate," he added.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children & Families estimated that in 2006, four children died each day as a result of maltreatment. More than 1,500 children died that year out of the 905,000 who were confirmed victims of maltreatment. More than three-quarters (78 percent) of children who were killed were younger than 4 years of age; 12 percent were 4-7 years of age; 5 percent were 8-11 years of age; and 5 percent were 12-17 years of age.
The Web site, www.childhelp.org reports that while there were 3 million reports of child abuse in 2006, experts believe three times as many children are victims of incidents of abuse and neglect, but their cases go unreported. The consequences are significant: children who experience child abuse & neglect are 59 percent more likely to be arrested as a juvenile, 28 percent more likely to be arrested as an adult, and 30 percent more likely to commit violent crime. A third of child abuse victims go on to abuse their own children.
In Lucas County...
The mission of Lucas County Children Services is to lead the community in the protection of children at risk of abuse and neglect. This is accomplished by working with families, service providers and community members to assess risk and coordinate community-based services resulting in safe, stable and permanent families for children.

Just shy of 3m tonnes of coal was loaded onto ships at the Australian port of Newcastle in the week ending on 29 July at 07:00 local time as exports from the Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG) terminal continue at a higher rate, according to port data released on Monday.
The operators of the NCIG terminal do not publish statistics for its output, but data from the Newcastle Port Corporation and the Hunter Valley Coal Chain Coordinator (HVCCC) indicate roughly 780,000 tonnes was shipped from the terminal last week. For most of the year, weekly exports from NCIG have been in a 400,000-500,000 tonne range.
The increase in exports coincides with the commissioning of the terminal to handle 66m tonnes of coal annually - an increase of 13m tonnes - and the reduction in its coal handing charge from 1 July.
Australian mining company Whitehaven Coal said in its Q2 production report out on Monday it will save more than $16m (€12m) in the 2014 financial year because of the reduction in the fee at the NCIG terminal and at the other two Port Waratah Coal Services (PWCS) terminals, which which began on 1 May.
PWCS exported 2.17m tonnes over the seven-day period ending on 28 July, HVCCC said, which is 11% below the 2.45m tonnes shipped out last week.
The strong export figures for July might have been boosted by the 26 FOB Newcastle spot deals for 6,000Kcal/kg NAR coal with July delivery reported to ICIS this year. This included an index-linked deal with a volume of 100,000 tonnes.
Most FOB Newcastle spot deals have a volume of 25,000 tonnes. Eighteen deals for June delivered cargoes were reported to ICIS.
Stocks at the PWCS terminals remain steady at 1.39m tonnes on 28 July, which is above the end-of-week average so far this year of 1.22m tonnes.
The number of vessels with a notified arrival time for Newcastle port dipped to 40 from 48 a week earlier. Fionn O'Raghallaigh

They would recline at about a 45% angle, laying against large bolstered pillows. Having slept on replica 17th century beds, I assure you, it is a very comfortable way to sleep. Kris Lisa Sawyer <ysabeau.lists at gmail.com> wrote: Greetings all, I was watching a documentary the other day and something that was mentioned as a passing comment has bothered me so I thought I'd put it out to everyone here to see if you have heard of it. The documentary was about underground structures and tunnels (Cities of the Underworld) and they were in a barracks that was built underground in a fort near Philadelphia (I think). The underground bunker was built pre-Revolutionary War and was equipped with bunk beds. The host commented that the beds were so short because people were shorter back then. The guide corrected him and said that it was because people used to sleep sitting up because it was "healthier". Sleeping laying down didn't become the standard until around the late 1800s and early 1900s. That was why the beds were so short, not because people were shorter. I've never heard that before...has anyone else? I've heard that some people slept propped up on pillows but I don't think that is any different than today. Thanks!
