Alpha Chair by Dustin Jessen
At any furniture fair you'll find a lot of chairs. Here's the first of a few posts on the chairs we saw that got our attention at IMM Cologne this year. First up, Dustin Jessen's Alpha Chair "based on the idea that it is possible to fold sheet steel just like paper."
"A Laser cuts and perforates the 1,5mm sheet. Because of the 3-dimensional and lateral foldings the seat shell becomes stiff and gets its characteristic shape. Four oak profiles are making a (stackable) chair out of it."

Lunacy/Wisdom on the Big 3 Bailout
1 Comment Published December 10th, 2008 in Bama Blogging, Econ, Sweet FreedomFirst, the lunacy. Alabama's Senator Richard Shelby, despite his love of pork and earmarks generally, has taken a semi-principled stand against the financial bailout and, now, the automaker bailout. I applaud him for that and wish that more of our congresscritters would oppose these needless, wasteful bailouts. However, Joe Babiasz, a GM employee, believes that Alabama as a whole should be boycotted because of Shelby's stance against the automaker bailout. To that end, Joe has created Boycott Alabama Now designed to encourage people to boycott Alabama products like the Mercedes M Class and avoid spending money while in Alabama. Trying to boycott an entire state because for once the congresscritters stand against the usual horse-trading and waste in Washington? Give me a break, Joe!
It's at times like these that I'm glad the US founders created the largest free trade zone in history, so that the absurdity of protectionism could be shown once and for all. The US has been artificially propping up the domestic auto industry for years through tariffs and subsidies, like the "loan" to Chrysler. Such protection insulated the auto execs from the changing realities of the auto market and relying on that protection, they failed to adapt. As a result, the US auto industry cannot compete on the global market. So, after years of protection, they want more in the form of subsidized "loans"? Utterly ridiculous.
It doesn't matter whether our cars are made in Wyoming or Bangalore. Protectionists always rely on jingoist pleas ("true Americans") to make folks believe that you have to buy American or Albanian or Australian. And people like Joe and the American consumer of domestic automobiles get screwed because their job was made to appear stable and those products were made to appear economical, when nothing could be further from the truth. Both were subsidized for decades. If you want something to boycott Joe, you should boycott the protectionist policies that got us in the mess we're in now.
This current crisis also demonstrates the flaw in Keynesian economic policy: it depends on consumption. If your economic system is heavily dependent on consumption, the bubble will eventually break and the downturn will worsen as long as your currency is inflated. That's what's happening here and it's a direct result of politicians trying to manage what no person or group of people ever can, an economy. The Soviets tried to do it in a less subtle way and failed and if we continue to believe that economies can be controlled, we will continue to face downturns, some severe, every few years or so. End of rant:)

One Response to "Lunacy/Wisdom on the Big 3 Bailout"
Dec 18th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
An economy based on consumption is hard to manage because you can not control the individuals preferences. That is why the economy is suffering right now, people are trying to save or hold on to what they have left. Bailing out the Big three is like doing what congress did with wall street ($700 Bill). Bankruptcy will be the best choice so that they can restructure.

Information is different from objects in that information is flow, information sitting by itself is nothing. Information is also infinitely reproducible now. Its not the static presence of industrial things but the emergent patterns coming out of data flows by which we think and construct society.

Current trending foursquare venues, a measure of current state of flow in Shoreditch and Hoxton.
This shows patterns based on time. For example every working morning London Liverpool Street Rail Station trends on Foursqaure. Unlike Old Street which is mostly underground, dingy and small, Liverpool is a larger sunny space where people often have to wait to get trains to and from the suburbs. As such it is an area where people who are bored have time and mobile web access. The daily rise in Foursquare checkins to Liverpool Street Station reflects a combined presence of web access and an organised wasting of thousands of people's time waiting for longer distance train stations. Old Street is also very crowed but by the time people can use mobile phones they are already on the street where they have less opportunity to use their mobile phones.

Plant biologist Robert Bowman is involved in the development of plant habitats for future spaceflight.
Where do you work?
I work for Lockheed Martin as a contractor at NASA Ames Research Center, in the heart of Silicon Valley, California.
What degree did you obtain?
I have a bachelor's degree in biological sciences from California State University, Chico, a master's degree in botany from California State University, Chico, and a doctorate in systematic botany from the University of California, Davis.
What motivated you to pursue your career?
I have always been fascinated by studying living things. As a youngster, I had pet spiders, newts, and my own vegetable garden as well as all the normal dogs, cats and other critters. I chose to study biology because I was fascinated by how living things survived and reproduced under difficult growing conditions. Early on, I found much enjoyment in sharing my knowledge and experiences of living things with others, especially young people. I have had careers in university teaching and research, commercial plant breeding and space sciences.
Briefly tell about the life experiences that made it possible for you to work at NASA?
I pursued my science interests because they fascinated me, not because I was looking for a job. I was trained to teach university level biology. Fortunately for me, NASA needed a trained plant biologist that could integrate many different perspectives into development of future space plant habitats, and sell the ideas to space hardware developers and space researchers.
What was the most important experience that prepared you for your job?
While in college, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with a plant population biologist. His mentoring taught me much about plants and how they live and reproduce. Most of all, he shared with me a genuine excitement about learning from the living things that surround us. That excitement started many years ago, and continues to this day.
What's the coolest thing about your job?
I get to work with and be surrounded by incredibly talented people that share many of my same interests. It's amazing to see what other people can do, and be a part of their successes. Even though many of my co-workers are in other fields such as engineering and computer sciences, it's thoroughly enjoyable to watch others excel in what they do.
Describe your role in plant research.
I like to study whole organisms, living in their own unique environment. While other researchers like to dissect apart organisms and see how they are built and how they work, I am fascinated with trying to understand how organisms and species survive and reproduce in a complex world, challenged by both physical and biological surroundings. In order for a species to persist through time, it must be able to thrive, despite challenges thrown at it by a competitive world. It must also generate viable offspring to perpetuate the species. Plant reproductive biology is amazingly complex; it can also be beautifully simple. As any gardener knows, it can be difficult to have your flowers and vegetables grow well. As a space scientist, it is even harder to have plants thrive and reproduce when you reduce the garden to a small box such as a tiny plant growth chamber.
Please comment on the difficulties of living and working in space.
Space is a challenging world for all living things, including humans. Besides weightlessness, there are many other aspects of life that we take for granted here on earth that do not apply in space. If there is no up and down, then how will plants know where to put their roots? Imagine living in a sterile metal box with very limited volume for several months or years at a time. No pets, no loved ones, no houseplants, nothing alive around you, just whirring machines and blinking lights. We find much comfort in sharing our world with other living things. Life in a speeding spaceship destined for a faraway planet could, indeed, be a very challenging existence in ways we can only begin to imagine.
Why do you think plant research is important to the success of space exploration?
We all need something to eat. Only plants are capable of harvesting sunlight and converting it to edible food. At some point, it is simply impossible to take along enough food to keep us fed and happy on prolonged space missions. Plants can recycle used nutrients back into energy-rich foods that we can use again. And best of all, they can provide living companionship to space-weary astronauts that watch them grow, flourish and then eat them.
Because plant growth will be an important part of space exploration in the future, plant biologists like Robert Bowman are working today to learn what they need to know to make growing plants in space possible.

TGFbeta can override the proliferative effects of EGF and other Ras-activating mitogens in normal epithelial cells. However, epithelial cells harboring oncogenic Ras mutations often show a loss of TGFbeta antimitogenic responses. Here we report that oncogenic Ras inhibits TGFbeta signaling in mammary and lung epithelial cells by negatively regulating the TGFbeta mediators Smad2 and Smad3. Oncogenically activated Ras inhibits the TGFbeta-induced nuclear accumulation of Smad2 and Smad3 and Smad-dependent transcription. Ras acting via Erk MAP kinases causes phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 at specific sites in the region linking the DNA-binding domain and the transcriptional activation domain. These sites are separate from the TGFbeta receptor phosphorylation sites that activate Smad nuclear translocation. Mutation of these MAP kinase sites in Smad3 yields a Ras-resistant form that can rescue the growth inhibitory response to TGFbeta in Ras-transformed cells. EGF, which is weaker than oncogenic mutations at activating Ras, induces a less extensive phosphorylation and cytoplasmic retention of Smad2 and Smad3. Our results suggest a mechanism for the counterbalanced regulation of Smad2/Smad3 by TGFbeta and Ras signals in normal cells, and for the silencing of antimitogenic TGFbeta functions by hyperactive Ras in cancer cells.

I am almost positive that last night I was acting like a child. I was in awe the entire time. You may be thinking what was I in awe of? Was it Butler basketball? No. Blue 2? Awe inspiring, but No. No it is not either of those things. Instead, I was in awe of the NUTCRACKER. Last night was opening night and it was so awesome. One of our bloggers, Olivia, has been writing about it lately, too! She also has showtimes and dates on her blog!
Even though I live only 25 minutes away from Butler I had never gone to the Nutcracker here. Although, I am glad that I waited. I don't think when I was younger I would have appreciated it as much. I was in awe of how awesome the dancers were. My sister in law is a ballerina and actually went to Butler for a couple years, and she always told me how awesome Nutcracker was, but I had no idea. Everything was great. The costumes, the dancing, the backdrops, and the music were fantastic.
If you have the time to go I definitely suggest it. Bring friends too! Eight other girls on my floor and myself went together and it was a lot of fun!
On a more serious note, the other night while IU was playing North Carolina State they honored the late NC State coach Jimmy V. I watched his speech given 8 weeks before he passed to cancer. It is something that is truly inspirational and continues to show me that living life in the moment is so important. It may be a long video but it is definitely worth it.

Calexico West Land Port of Entry

Introduction/Jury Members
Arctic Food Network, by Lateral Office Beukenhof Crematorium and Auditorium, by Asymptote Architecture Floatyard, by Perkins+Will Rock Chapel Marine, by Landing Studio The Farm: Gaming Strategies for Empowering Marginalized Youth, by Steven Mankouche and Matthew Schulte Calexico West Land Port of Entry, by Perkins+Will Dortoir Familial, by NADAAA Kimball Art Center, by BIG Modulo Prep Library, by CRO Studio Smart Material House, by Barkow Leibinger
Site On an arid stretch of the U.S.–Mexico border, this new U.S. Land Port of Entry (LPOE) connects Mexicali, Mexico, with Calexico, Calif., a 40,000-person city whose infrastructure—including rail corridors, industrial parks, and an airport—is directed, in large part, toward servicing border traffic.
Program The project includes site design to systematize border traffic areas for customs inspections and offices for LPOE-related tenants.
Solution Though a border station is sometimes imagined to be a booth by the side of the road, 21st-century LPOEs are, in fact, complex orchestrations of different scales of transportation, security, technology, and the architectural context of cities in different countries. As juror Steven Ehrlich put it: "It's a huge and complicated monster, this thing." To address this monster, Perkins+Will adapted certain cues from the existing context, and, in so doing, made the complex seem simple.
The firm adapted the gridiron city plans of both Mexicali and Calexico as a way to introduce a rational orthogonality into its design, but merged that with the serpentine patterns of both the Colorado River and the train tracks that wind through the cities. A designed landform serves as a sinuous spine to the site, providing orientation to different modes of traffic—the LPOE serves trucks, cars, and pedestrians. The designers tailored the form to serve different objectives: when thick, it provides a thermal wall, and, when spliced, it acts as a retaining wall. Along with the expansive canopies on the LPOE's pavilions, the landform provides needed cooling without requiring the users to dial up the air conditioning. "This is a desert climate," Ehrlich noted. "It's hot—very hot."
"This project develops lots of different ways of screening," juror Reed Kroloff said, citing the solar benefits, but also the subtle ways that the complex achieves necessary privacy and security and organizes heavy volumes of traffic without creating an unsightly parking-lot effect.
Its success comes from the fact that it accomplishes this heavy lifting in an understated way—the design softens a busy port in an arid industrial park. Above all, Ehrlich said, "It's a beautiful concrete structure—simple and elegant."

13,000 died at state hospitals and were buried with a number. Now, the graves are getting names.
The state of Minnesota promised to take care of a little boy named Eugene.
It let him down. First in life, and then again in death.
Eugene Joseph Gaffke died of heat prostration on a hot summer day in 1941, three-and-a-half years after he was taken from his family and incarcerated at what was then known as the State School for the Feeble-Minded in Faribault.
The only memorial to Eugene's short life was a concrete plug in a Faribault cemetery, stamped with his number — 551. On his death certificate, the child's occupation is listed as "inmate."
Now Minnesota is doing what it can to make amends.
Between 1866 and 1997, more than 13,000 Minnesotans died in the state's 11 mental hospitals and were buried in graves marked only with a number — if they were marked at all. As the institutions closed, the cemeteries with their sad rows of numbered graves remained in Faribault, Hastings, Rochester, St. Peter, Moose Lake, Willmar, Brainerd, Sauk Centre, Fergus Falls, Cambridge and Ah-Gwah-Ching.
"It wasn't right. They should have been remembering us as people, not by the numbers," said Larry Lubbers of Inver Grove Heights, who lived at Faribault from the time he was 10 until age 25.
Lubbers' years at Faribault were deeply unhappy, filled with abuse and neglect. He was not allowed to go to school. On some days, his arms would be held down and he would not be allowed to feed himself.
"I didn't get treated nice," he said. "It was not a very good place."
Not once does Lubbers remember anyone explaining why a 10-year-old had to be locked away.
Names behind the numbers
People could be institutionalized for almost any reason. Some struggled with mental illness, or a physical disability or substance abuse. Some had epilepsy, or were children with Down syndrome, or women suffering from postpartum depression. Orphaned children or pregnant mothers could be dropped off and remain there for the rest of their lives.
Today Lubbers works with the nonprofit group Remembering With Dignity, which is halfway through the long process of replacing all those numbered graves with proper headstones.
To date, Remembering With Dignity has placed 7,139 new headstones and is in the process of installing 750 more at old institutional cemeteries in Rochester, Faribault and Fergus Falls. Another 5,111 graves have yet to be restored.
Finding a name for those graves, and learning the stories behind those names, is Halle O'Falvey, who runs the Remembering with Dignity program.
Taped to her computer is a photo of Mary Grabarkewitz Kovar, who died at the Rochester State Hospital in 1896 — not long after her ex-husband had her declared insane and committed so he could take 180 acres of farmland she had inherited. The first time O'Falvey saw the photo, and heard the story, she cried. In her files is a letter from Kovar's great-granddaughter, who calls her "the angel who found Mary's grave." Great-grandma Kovar is now buried under her own name.
"It's really sad, sad stuff," said O'Falvey, who is researching the histories of two sisters who lived and died together in a state institution. She has found many similar cases of siblings institutionalized because their parents died or fell into poverty or could not control their children's behavior. "They were failed by society," O'Falvey said.
She leavens the sorrowful nature of her research by working closely with volunteers like Lubbers and Manny Steinman of Minneapolis. Steinman was institutionalized at Faribault from the time he was 2 until age 10.

Walk Date: EARTH DAY Tuesday April 22, 2014
Time: 9 AM, local time
Protect Water, Change Lives:
Our key fundraising project includes our 8th annual Walk for Water held across the nation on April 22, 2014. This walk will unite Water Warriors from 15 cities nation-wide in a 6 km walk – this is the average distance a young girl or woman in East Africa must walk to access clean water. Through the walk we aim to generate awareness to the global water crisis.
The successful 7th-annual Canada-wide Earth Month 2013 campaign resulted in over $ 591,000 raised and engaged over 1,300 walkers across 16 cities. Thank you to every Aveda salon owner and employee as well as friends and family members who supported Earth Month efforts for WaterCan, our Canadian partner. It was a huge task and we achieved it together. Through our efforts this year, we were able to help improve the lives of over 23,640 individuals in Eastern Africa.
This year, all salons will be given the opportunity to receive their T-Shirts in advance prior to Earth Month. If you do not wish to receive your T-Shirt in advance, you can pick up your T-Shirt on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 (the day of the walk). Walkers must register online to receive a t-shirt.

Jewish Minor Fast Practices
All the minor public fasts begin at sunrise and conclude the same day at sunset (which is marked by the appearance of the first three stars in the sky).
Aside from fasting itself, many of the stringent restrictions that apply on the fasts of Tisha B'Av (the Ninth of Av) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) do not apply to the minor fasts, including refraining from bathing and wearing leather.
The four minor fasts are: Shiva Asar be-Tammuz, the 17th of Tammuz, the date the Romans breached Jerusalem walls; Asarah beTevet, the 10th of Tevet, the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians; Tzom Gedaliah, the fast of Gedaliah, which falls on the third of Tishrei, the date a Babylonian governor of Judah was killed; and Ta'anit Esther--the fast of Esther--the 13th of Adar, which is the day before Purim.
What Are the Restrictions?
On minor fasts, the regulations are looser, and thus pregnant women, nursing mothers, and the sick are exempt from fasting. Nevertheless, every one--including those exempt from fasting--are discouraged from indulging in unnecessary pleasures. Even those exempt from fasting are discouraged from regular meals or taking more food than is necessary. The purpose of the fast is to meditate on the meaning of the day and examine one's own sins.
Changes in Litrugy
On these fast days there are a number of additions to the regular daily service and a few variations in the liturgy. Avinu Malkeinu ("Our Father, Our King") is recited after the Amidah at the morning and afternoon services. In some traditions, special selihot (prayers of forgiveness) are added. The same section of the Torah is read during both morning and afternoon services. It is chanted with High Holiday cantillation in order to remind the congregation that fast days call for repentance and good deeds. The reading starts with Exodus 32:11-14, and then the reader skips to Exodus 34:1-10. These sections deal with God's 13 qualities of mercy and God's forgiveness of the pious. Traditionally, some of the lines--Exodus 32:12, 34:6, and 34:9--are read aloud by the congregation, followed by the reader, because these lines, in particular, speak of God's mercy and willingness to forgive.
During the afternoon service, a haftarah (prophetic reading) from Isaiah 55:6-56:8 is read by the Ashkenazim (Jews of Eastern European descent). It also deals with repentance and God's forgiveness, the redemption of Israel and the world. The Sephardim (Jews of Mediterranean descent) do not read a haftarah on the afternoon of a fast day, except for Tisha B'Av.
None of the four minor fasts may be observed on a Shabbat, which is a day of joy and celebration. Only the major fast of Yom Kippur may take place on Shabbat. If any of the above-mentioned dates falls on Shabbat, the fast is postponed until Sunday. If Purim falls on a Sunday, the Fast of Esther is observed on the preceding Thursday. Fasts that fall on Friday follow the normal practices for the fast. However, this could really only apply to the 10th of Tevet because the arrangement of the calendar does not permit any of the other fasts to occur on Friday.
Among the very few rituals to be followed on a minor fast day is the tradition of giving charity, especially food necessary for the evening meal (Talmud, Sanhedrin 35a). The notion behind this practice is found in the Talmud, which states that the reward of a fast day is in the amount of charity distributed (Berakhot 6b).
It is important to note that Reform Jews traditionally only fasted on Yom Kippur, and the other fast days were only vaguely known or observed among Reform Jews. The reasons for this included a distinctive approach to Jewish tradition and halakhah (Jewish ritual law), and as an ambivalent attitude toward commemoration of the destruction of the Temple and hopes for its restoration. There has in recent years been a renewed attention toward the major fast day of Tisha B'Av, although the minor fasts continue to not play an important role in Reform observance.

The development community is blessed with several amazing women leaders. I've been volunteering with Engineers Without Borders for several years now and have met some amazing people doing amazing things. I'm an engineer by training, so I'm not accustomed to seeing so many females around. Unfortunate, but true. However, through my volunteer work I've met some of the amazing females advocating social equality around the world -- some in their spare time and others are also budding entrepreneurs.
Anurupa Rao - is a design engineer at D2M Inc, but in her spare time she's developing an extremely low-cost water storage container with International Development Enterprises for farmers in Myanmar. She's also an active volunteer in Engineers Without Borders
Emily Pilloton -- founded a non-profit in San Francisco called Project H Design. Her focus is using design to address some of the world's most pressing humanitarian needs. She's currently expanding her non-profit.
Ann Torres -- a mechanical engineer at Function Design who also leads an Appropriate Technology Design Team, focused on technology design development for the developing world.
Erica Estrada -- co-founder of d.Light Design, a for-profit organization based in India that develops high-quality LED lighting for low-income communities throughout India... and soon the world, I hope.
Jocelyn Wyatt -- leading the Social Impact + Business Factors group at IDEO, one of the world's largest design firms. Jocelyn has a long list of international organizations she's worked for and is also a former Acumen Fund Fellow.
Parmita Dalal -- working with Hippo Roller in South Africa to develop an innovative, affordable way to safely transport water in rural communities. She's also joining d.Light Design in October to help expand their product line.
The list of these unsung heroes goes on and on. I'm glad to know them and push to advocate them and their work. We need more women like them.

'Murdoch Mysteries' Set Tour
Murdoch Mysteries is undoubtedly one of the most popular shows in Canada. When we interviewed Yannick Bisson & Hélène Joy on set a few months ago, we wanted to give a behind the scenes look at the set, to give a first hand look at the beautiful set created to bring the Murdoch Mysteries magic on screen.
Watch our 'Behind the Scenes' Set Tour video above in addition to the fantastic photos we took on set below. What is your favourite Murdoch Mysteries space? Share with us in the comments section below!
Happy Holidays Murdoch Fans!

Add yours-
Lin Thank you for the tour. Favourite space…Murdoch's office, of course, the desk in particular. Old wood (furniture) tells lots of stories. Add in the Murdoch acting and production team and a great series results. I enjoyed the music background of the video as well.
Ritz Love all the spaces but my all time favorite was "Feng Choy's Shop" from The Great Wall (Season Three).
Nancy Stewart Thank you for a wonderful tour of the set. My favourite space is of course the morgue. So many interesting items. The Banting and Best workbench has so much history. I have always been interested in biology. Love the shot of Shelley, the skeleton. Murdoch is 1 hour of the best entertainment on TV.
Sandra Thank you so much, took me right back to the MME in August, wonderful, such an awe inspiring place, happy times Merry Christmas All xxx
Marah It's so hard to pick just one! I love Murdoch's office, especially his desk (with all his things on it) and the wall with all the cool gadgets (I keep wondering what the Ediphone does/is for). The morgue is also wonderful, particularly the workbench and all the bottles. So much attention to detail!
gloria albert thanks so much for this wonderful tour. I would imagine in the appropriate clothing, an actor could just walk onto the set and feel right at home, so to speak. The absolute attention to detail is pure genius.
City Morgue is my fav, if I HAD to choose…so diverse and full of character.
However, the offices , with their warm woods, and special lighting, just the lamps, very cozy . . .
Keara Joy A.K.A. Techtra Tronical Really Wonderful tour, Adnan! The music/camera work is perfect! My favourite space…Well, there's *SO* many interesting things in the morgue (&, depending where you're looking, actually rather pretty, too). Although there's interesting/eye~catching things pretty much everywhere…I think in a way the morgue, or (tied with) Murdoch's Office. So much gets thought over & solved or worked out in there…it's a really cool atmosphere to be in.
Cathy LiVecchi I recently purchased an antique 3 tier pie crust table from an antique store in Hamilton, Ontario. I was told that it was used in one of the episodes of Murdoch. I would love to know which season and episode it appeared in.
lucy My nine year old daughter and I love the show.We have visited a few places they filmed.Thank you for the pictures.It is a wonderful Canadian show!

In a time of finance distress, the fast payday or hard cash advance will be utilised to protect your excellent credit rating score. Not every person is aware of the prospect, though suppliers granting these short-term loans proliferate for the web-based. Most are reliable organisations; even so, you really should remember there are a number of bad apples in such a barrel of pounds. You're able to protect your very best passions by verifying the good reputation on the service you intend to apply to. The higher Corporation Bureau is known as a good source to utilise as they will have a document of any complaints lodged towards a company.
Nonetheless, a bank loan cash advance is no substitute for long-term fiscal preparation. This income progress should certainly only be taken to meet urgent fiscal requires before your up coming pay-day. It truly is only in emergencies that pay day loans come in helpful. Pay day loans also bail you from cases of bounced checks and late payment penalties by producing the suitable money progress offered.
Normally a pay day fast advance organization costs fifteen to thirty USD for each $100 borrowed or if you should are lucky good enough to live in Australia some fast loan personal loan companies make available http://www.sms-lan-2013.biz possibilities and choose an emergency cashadvance cash advance is right in your case, make sure to comprehend the bills and phrases before you utilize. Invariably test to verify your lender is offering a set flat price rate therefore you know particularly just what the entire price of the personal fast cash is earlier than signing.

Using valgrind with Qt Creator
This article will show you how you can use valgrind on Linux to find memory leaks in your Qt based application from within Qt Creator.
valgrind is a low level tool that can do many useful memory-related things, of which we will focus on locating memory leaks - especially useful for long running processes and those that create and destroy a lot of objects. To do this, valgrind tracks the memory allocation/deallocations your application does and generates reports about places that might be losing memory.
Contents |
Install valgrind
Almost all Linux distributions include valgrind, but usually do not install it by default. Just select valgrind from your package manager (shown in Kubuntu below) to install it.
If you prefer to use the console, all you need to do on a deb based Linux is
sudo apt-get install valgrind
About 50 MB later, you will have valgrind installed
Install the (Nokia) Qt SDK or Qt Creator
If you do not already have it, you can install the Nokia Qt SDK, but the procedure below will work with any install of Qt Creator. The approach outlined in this article can be used for desktop, Maemo and Simulator targets.
Open project
Create or open an existing project. Here an example of simple application is created. Notice how this example intentionally leaks a QLabel object every time the button is pressed.
Create run target
In order to use valgrind, a special run target needs to be added to the project. Click the projects icon and then the 'run' section of the target you wish to debug. You will see something like
Now click 'add' and specify a new target that looks like the following
The complex argument line in text form for copy-pasting:
-q --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --leak-resolution=low --suppressions=Qt47supp.txt ./[your-app-target-name]
As an initial default Qt4.7 suppression file (see below) for simulator targets you can use File:Qt47supp.txt. Of course, depending on what modules or additional libraries use, you will want to extend it.
Running the application
You will see that now in your target window you have a new run configuration selectable
Make sure you're adding/selecting valgrind in the debug build, as it will not be able to find symbols and code lines in a release build. Upon running the application, there will be a lot of output from valgrind, intertwined with the actual output from your application. Notice that valgrind will print most of its finding when you exit the application. If you followed the article, you'll see a large amount of valgrind output.
Interpreting the results
You will soon realize that valgrind's output can easily become overwhelming. One of the keys of dealing with valgrind efficiently is using good suppression files. Using these files avoids warnings that are false alarms or located in code outside of ours. Generally, you should pay no attention to valgrind complaints about errors in glibc or Qt - it is a common mistake to start valgrind without suppression files and then think that everything is leaking, but that is generally just the side-effect of lower level libraries deallocating memory after valgrind. Thus, to be able to focus on actual leaks in our code, a suppression file needs to be generated that will bring down the valgrind output to a manageable size containing only errors in the code at hand.
As an initial default Qt4.7 suppression file for simulator targets you can use File:Qt47supp.txt. Of course, depending on what modules or additional libraries use, you will want to extend it.
Now, save the suppression file in the build directory and re-run the application. Now you can easily spot the memory leak report with a precise source file and location where the action that caused the leak occurred.
Qt making your life easier
An important note is that in many cases you can prevent memory leaks just by using Qt's smart pointer classes, QScopedPointer and QSharedPointer being of particular interest for most common use-cases.
The QObject class also has mechanisms that help avoid dangling pointers and memory leaks. When a QObject is deleted, it emits a destroyed() signal and also automatically calls the destructor's of its child objects.
The above should start you down path of finding leaks in your Qt applications. Should you require more detailed reports or want to find out more about what valgrind can do for you, check the Valgrind manual.

How to transfer local eBooks to iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
via iTunes?
This article is to introduce how to transfer eBooks to iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch via iTunes. Just as it is described on Apple's official site, "reading is a joy on iPad", reading eBooks on iPad via the free Apple iBooks app is amazing experience. Besides, with the launch of iOS 4.0 on June 21, 2010, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and the second- and third-generation iPod touch users can also read ebook via iBooks app by updating the OS to iOS 4. And as iBooks app only supports ePub format at present, you need to get ePub eBooks for reading on iPad,iPhone and iPod touch (With iOS 4). One way to get ePub eBooks is to download eBooks from iBookstore. It is very easy and you can connect iBookstore directly after you enter into iBooks' interface. The other way to get eBooks is to transfer local ePub eBooks to iPad, iPhone and iPod touch via iTunes syncing. There are many methods to get local ePub eBooks such as downloading from the internet etc. If you already have got some EPUB eBooks on your PC, now just follow the guide below to transfer eBooks to iPad/iPad 2, iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 4 via iTunes:
Step 1 Open iTunes and put your eBooks in iTunes Books Library
After launching iTunes on your PC, iTunes will automatically detect your local ePub eBooks and display some of which in Books Library. To add the eBooks in Book Library manually, you can choose File> Add File to Library… or File > Add Folder to Library… to add local ePub eBooks or folder (must containing ePub eBooks) to iTunes Book Library. Also you can drag and drop local ePub files directly into the iTunes Books Library. After put eBooks in iTunes Book Library, you can easily change epub book cover and some other information before transferring to your iPad.
Step 2 Connect your iPad/iPad 2 to your PC
Use USB cable to connect your iPad/iPad 2 to your PC. And in iTunes, you can see your iPad in the source list under Devices.
Step 3 Sync eBooks to your iPad/iPad 2
Click on your iPad in the source list under Devices. Then click the Books tab at the top of the window. Here you can choose whether to sync all books or selected books. If you choose All books, all the books in the Books Library would sync to your iPad/iPad 2. And here we choose Selected books, and choose the special book for syncing. Then click Apply button, you can have your selected eBooks successfully synced onto your iPad/iPad 2.
Check your iPad/iPad 2, and the local ePub eBooks are shown on your iBooks shelf. Quite easy, right? Please note that you can also transfer ePub eBooks to your iPad, iPad 2, iPhone and iPod Touch (with iOS 4) from either PC or Mac via iTunes, and I just take iPad connecting with PC for example above. All the syncing process is the same. So, why not try and transfer your eBooks from your computer to your iPad, iPad 2, iPhone or iPod Touch right now?

Gardeners should consider planting castor beans for more than just the beauty of the plant. The castor bean is useful as a screen, for shade on the west side of a house, and even (it's reputed) as a deterrent to moles and gophers. Its tropical foliage tinged in red is bold and attractive; its silhouettes against a window at night can be very exotic.
In tropical climates castor bean plants are evergreen. In our area it is an easily cultivated annual that needs little care. You should be able to find seeds in nurseries for 10-to-20 foot plants and for a dwarf variety.
Castor beans are not for everyone: the seeds are poisonous and should not be planted where children play unless each seed pod is pinched out before the seeds develop. And the seed and foliage can also cause severe contact allergies for some people.
Castor beans are grown commercially for its seeds and its oil, which is used in laxative and many cosmetics. In commercial extraction, toxins do not pass into the oil.

Public Abstract:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are cancers of the blood and bone marrow. AML progresses rapidly and is fatal within months if untreated. Even with aggressive treatment, including chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation, five-year overall survival rates are less than 40%. The majority of CML cases are managed effectively with tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting the primary oncogenic protein in this disease, the Bcr-Abl protein. However, disease persistence also remains a problem in CML and the leukemia progresses quickly on cessation of chemotherapy. Current evidence indicates that not all cells in these leukemias are the same, and that there is a rare population of leukemia stem cells (LSC) responsible for maintaining the disease. The LSC are thought to be relatively resistant to current chemotherapies. Thus novel therapies that target the LSC population while sparing the normal blood-forming stem cells in the bone marrow are urgently needed. Such approaches provide the potential for reduced toxicity compared with current chemotherapies and the prospect of ultimately identifying curative therapies. We have detected a cell-surface protein, termed EphA3, that is present on bone marrow cells isolated from a proportion of AML and CML patients but is not detectable on normal blood-forming cells in the bone marrow or on the blood cells from healthy individuals. EphA3 has been found on different cell types in these leukemias, including cells from AML patients with characteristics of LSCs. A monoclonal antibody to EphA3 is available that, on binding EphA3-expressing cells, directs the cells to undergo cell death (apoptosis). This provides the potential to target LSC selectively using monoclonal-antibody based therapy. The research proposal will explore the effect of anti-EphA3 antibodies on AML-derived cells in cell-based assays of stem cell function including proliferation, self-renewal and the capacity for differentiation into the different tumor cell types. We will also explore the activity of anti-EphA3 antibodies in preventing tumorigenicity of AML-derived bone marrow cells in mouse models of leukemia. Ultimately the results obtained with AML samples will be extended to explore the role of EphA3 in LSC biology in CML and other hematologic malignancies.
Statement of Benefit to California:
There is an urgent need for new treatments for myeloid leukemias. Although the availability of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has contributed significantly to the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), both chronic and acute myeloid lekeumia (AML) remain essentially incurable without allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. Current standard of care for medically fit AML patients typically includes several cycles of high dose chemotherapy. Even with these aggressive treatments, which cause significant morbidity and mortality, relapse is common and the five-year overall survival is 30-40% in adults under the age of 65 and less than 10% in patients over age 65. Disease persistence in these diseases has been ascribed to the resistance of leukemic stem cells to chemotherapy. Development of curative therapies will require the identification of essential pathways for the survival and self-renewal of leukemic stem cells.We have identified a cell-surface protein, EphA3, present on the leukemic stem cell in a proportion of AML patients but absent from normal blood stem cells. A monoclonal antibody is available that binds to EphA3 and delivers a signal to the EphA3-expressing cell, causing it to undergo cell death (apoptosis). The goals of this proposal are to gain a greater understanding of the biological response of AML leukemic stem cells to monoclonal antibodies targeting EphA3 and to extend the results to other leukemias. There are several benefits of this research for California. The proposed research is intended to support development of a new therapeutic that would offer significant health benefit to residents of our state as well as positively impact our health economics. The project will also contribute directly to the economy of California, by employing individuals who will be essential for the conduct of these studies at a California-based biopharmaceutical company, and through the funding of contract research organizations in California.

My Success
I missed an opportunity to go to Spain my senior year of high school – after that I told myself if given another chance to study abroad I wouldn't miss out again. UWRF gave me the opportunity to study abroad two times while in school. I participated in the Wisconsin in Scotland program as a sophomore and in Mexico over J-term of my junior year.

What is Altrusa
Altrusa is an international service organization dedicated to improving communities worldwide. With almost 10,000 members, Altrusa has 361 clubs in ten countries. Members work on promoting literacy and identifying and solving community problems through original projects and by partnering with other organizations or agencies.
Altrusa International of Rochester, Inc. was chartered as a club in 1950, thirty-two years after Mamie L. Bass founded the first club in Indianapolis. Mamie is famous for saying women should not just be good, they should be good for something! The most well-known Altrusan was Eleanor Roosevelt.
Altrusa of Rochester News
Altrusa Annual April Shower
Four years ago we invited Bill and Joanne Cala of Joining Hearts and Hands to present an update on their work building schools in Kenya. We have partnered with them to both build an entire classroom and fund two scholarships for girls to attend high school. The idea to invite guests beyond the club membership spurred the search for a large enough facility and a means of serving a simple catered supper. Thus was our first April Shower born.
The second year we were aware of the need of families who must raise children whose parents have been incarcerated or killed. The Catholic Family Charities group sponsored support for them, known as Kinship Care and were in desperate need of all those wonderful items that any baby shower bestows on an expectant mother. Members and guests filled the Christ Church community room once again, this time with blankets, diapers, outfits and so much more.
Our third year we invited our guests to bring pampering toiletry items and such which we all assembled into shower caddy baskets to be presented to women arriving at Jennifer House, a post-prison outreach ministry of Spiritus Christi.
Last year our attention was focused on the libraries at both School 24 and the Rochester International Academy. At RIA immigrant children from grades two to twelve arrive in hopes of learning English while simultaneously learning New York State Regents curriculum for their age level, whether they could read at that level or not. Many wonderful books were purchased and donated to both libraries.
This year we were thrilled to partner with Maggie Harris of the Community Lutheran Ministry on Joseph Avenue. Maggie runs after-school programs and summer camps, helping keep up to 200 children off the streets and engaged in safe learning situations. We filled the room with aproximately 50 invited guests and members who brought many items on Maggie's Summer Camp Wish List. Joining Maggie, was Kate Stilz, President of the Board of Directors (board member for 10 years and volunteers as the cook) and Azzure McFadden, nine years old and a summer camp participant. The April 9th event was held at Christ Church, with a light supper, camaraderie, and a chance to further our causes through the Chinese raffle. The money raised in the Chinese raffle was donated to Maggie's Summer Camp program. Please see "Maggie's Summer Camp Wish List" for anyone wishing to support the Summer Camp program.
Altrusa Annual Scholarship
Each year Altrusa of Rochester awards a scholarship to a young woman graduating from high school and who will be furthering her education. We will be awarding 2 scholarships this year, Emily Eden and Sarita Rai will be our 2014 Scholarship recipients. Both Emily and Sarita will be pursuing their Nursing education at Monroe Community College. We would like to thank Julianne Wise, RIA, and Dellenna Harper, Jennifer House, for submitting such wonderful candidates for our 2014 scholarship.
In 2013, our scholarship was awarded to Crystal Colon from East High School. Crystal graduated at the head of her class and was the first Latina in East High School history to be Valedictorian. Crystal is attending University of Rochester majoring in Economics. Please read the YNN article.
Altrusa in the News
Democrat and Chronicle
The Altrusa of Rochester club was recently featured in an article written by Lisa Tiffin. This article was in the Saturday, June 5th Democrat and Chronicle ROCNews section. Please take a few minutes to read the article.
Suburban News
Terra Osterling, Suburban News (weekly local west side newspaper), recently contacted Alrusa members living on the west side of Rochester for an interview about our group. Terra met with the members and learned of our many community projects that support literacy and women in transition. Enjoy reading the Suburban News article.
Altrusa of Rochester Welcomes New Members
As a result of the two wonderful articles in the local newspapers in the summer of 2013 our club received many inquiries to learn more about our service projects and how to join our club. We hosted a Sunday afternoon gathering inviting those who inquired about our club. Many of our club members shared their personal interests, their experience as an Altrusan and information about our many projects.
We are very happy to welcome several new members who joined our club to help carry forth our mission. Pictured with our Club President, Debby and our Past District Governor, Sandi are several of our new members. From left to right top, Sandi, Pat, Judi, Julie, Judy, Kathy, Carol, Debby and bottom Diane, Dellenna and Tracy.
Altrusa Events
Rochester Children's Book Festival
In the Fall of 2013, Altrusa completed its ninth year participating in the Rochester Children's Book Festival. This wonderful festival brought many of our local children book authors to one location. There were craft and reading rooms, workshops by authors on the craft of writing every half hour and many community groups' tables to visit.
The 18th Annual Rochester Children's Book Festival will be on Saturday, November 15th, 2014, in the Flynn Campus Center at Monroe Community College. If you have not attended this wonderful event please plan to do so this coming Fall. Please stop to visit our Altrusa of Rochester table and learn of our many community events.
Festival to Go
Eighteen of the invited authors from the Rochester Children's Book Festival also volunteered to partner with Altrusa at our city schools in the ninth annual "Festival to Go". This event was held on October 28th and 29th, 2013 to bring the reading and writing experience to the classroom.
The event included visits to Roberto Clemente School #8 and Nathaniel Hawthorne School #25. The Altrusa Club purchased books from these authors and donated them to each school library. Each author did a 45 minute presentation in the classrooms with their focus around these books. The Altrusa members joined the authors in the classrooms to share in this wonderful experience with the children.
Certificates of appreciation were presented to each school librarian, as well as each author, by the Altrusa members. Our volunteer authors were: Joan Baier, Niki Barrie, Kathleen Blasi, Jim Chaize (teacher at Nathaniel Hawthorne), Elaine Costello, Sibby Falk, Ronnie Frishman, Marsha Hayles, Teresa Jeffery, Kevin Kurtz, Mylisa Larsen, Allene Lind, Rose O'Keefe, Dorelis Osborne, Vicki Schultz, Peg Thomas, Barbara Underhill, Sally Valentine, Vivian Vande Velde and Angela Zale.
A special thank you to author, Vivian Vande Velde and Altrusa member, Jody LaRose for coordinating the "2013 Festival To Go". We also wish to thank the participating authors and the Altrusa members who volunteered their time at the schools.

Full user review
"What a gem!"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
In 24 hours of looking over the demo of BusyCal, thereâ??s no question Iâ??m out of here and onto their web store to buy two copies. I fully agree with kraininâ??s review and interestingly enough, we both have tried many of the same PIMs over the years. Used Now Contact and Up to Date, got tired of waiting for updates so moved to Daylite which was powerful but odd in its approach and I could never get it to sync correctly (to their credit, tech support was amazing but couldnâ??t solve the problems). So for about 6 months, I used iCal and got used to the simplicity and directness after moving from Daylite. I tried BusyCal yesterday after hearing it would do a great job syncing to Google Calendars which it did. But there are many features that make this well worth the price. Tabs, a List View, far better appearing banners, rock solid syncing. I love the little touches like the week view shadow effect showing daylight hours. So cool.
I suspect that the authors of this product face a double edged sword. It looks so much like iCal which was a huge plus for me. Again, after NUD and Daylite, its so direct and easy on the eyes. The downside is users will say â??Well iCal is free and this isnâ??t.â?? The functionality is so superior that I hope users will quickly see its worth the price, especially compared to the competition. I also suspect weâ??ll see updates and new functionality far faster than weâ??ll see iCal updates (or for that matter, Daylite updates) which is a plus.
Yes, it would be nice if there were a family bundle. I plan to buy a copy for the MacPro and the Macbook Pro but Iâ??d eventually love to buy a 3rd for my wife who uses iCal. Iâ??d gladly pay the $40 plus the 2nd 20% discount to get a total of three licenses. Still, the product is really one of the best pieces of software Iâ??ve seen in a very long time.

Manager Bobby Cox told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Devine is in the running to be the Braves' closer. Devine hasn't allowed an earned run in eight innings this spring and picked up the save Wednesday.Fantasy Source spin: Sleeper alert, sleeper alert, sleeper alert. I'm among the doubters when it comes to Chris Reitsma, so Devine is looking like an excellent late-round pick. (Chris Bahr/TSN)
