Gallery: Spain's Hospital Sant Joan de Reus Infuses the Urban Environme...
A large angled roof optically reduces the size of the building.
The hospital is composed of a series of six rectangular volumes that shoot off at perpendicular angles to the main corridor, which has a large, slanted roof that optically reduces the size of the building. These narrow volumes sit on top of administration and technical facilities, creating space for light and air to reach into the patient corridors. Clad in white tile, the hospital has a refreshingly light aesthetic, and it is connected with the surrounding city through multiple access points around its perimeter. Smaller atria offer entrances on a more human scale, which link up to a larger circulation corridor that connects to the patient wings.
In between each patient wing is a large green roof that is visible and accessible from patients' rooms. These green roofs sit above more facilities below and are punctuated with skylights and light wells that pull natural daylight down into the space. Gardens surrounding the hospital infuse the urban environment with even more nature. Louvers on one of the south-facing facades protects the interior from overheating while allowing in light, while the large angled white facade shields the main corridor.

Healing through daylight and natural spaces, seems enlightened. Or they actually bother spending that time treating disease and injury they would not have to remain in the hospital. The front of the building seems to have some sort of garden with plantings so narrow you can't walk through it. Traditional hospitals consisted of a campus of buildings with plazas with grids of sidewalks so even the most crippled patient could go through. And the plantings were relegated away from our walking path to places called "gardens" to be observed by the casual patient.
The buildings overall reminds me of Apple store or an airport baggage handling facility which is sort of the way we think of patients these days, spare baggage. The interior is composed of many ambiguous, illegible spaces which we call waiting rooms surrounded by facets of technology on the walls like the wannabe bridge of the starship Enterprise. Contemporary architecture eagerly thrusts humanity into a dehumanized future. These redundant gestures are the last attempts of architectural competence and as the 21st century progresses the more soulless the buildings become; and we wonder why people are sick.

I have to say that this hospital is located in Reus, pertaining to Tarragona. So it's not exactly at the outsides of Barcelona, it's in another province. Both Tarragona and Barcelona pertain to Catalonia who also pertains to Spain.
I hope this is useful ^^

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - The head of Indonesia's ruling party resigned Saturday, a day after the country's anti-graft commission named him as a suspect in a corruption case.
Anas Urbaningrum, who was elected in 2010 as general chairman of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, announced his resignation in a news conference at the party's headquarters.
On Friday, the Corruption Eradication Commission declared Urbaningrum a suspect, accusing him of receiving payments in connection with the construction of a sports complex in West Java province.
The commission did not specify what kind of payments were allegedly received by Urbaningrum, but media reports say a contractor gave him a car worth about $75,000 while he was a lawmaker and head of the party's faction in Parliament before being elected as party chairman.
"I resign as general chairman of the Democratic Party," Urbaningrum said, noting that his decision was based on the party's standard of ethics.
The 43-year-old Urbaningrum, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, could face a minimum sentence of four years in jail if found guilty.
Party members were scheduled to meet Sunday to decide on a new chairman.
The case is the latest blow to the party's reputation and to Yudhoyono, who ran as the "Mr. Clean" of Indonesian politics in his 2009 re-election campaign.
Late last year, another party official, sports minister Andi Mallarangeng, was named a suspect in a corruption case involving the same $122 million sports complex in Hambalang village.
A former beauty queen and party lawmaker, Angelina Sondakh, was sentenced last month to 4 1/2 years in jail after being found guilty of accepting $3.6 million in kickbacks in connection with construction of a housing complex for athletes at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games.
Last year, party treasurer Muhammad Nazaruddin was sentenced to four years in jail for corruption.

Google and Yahoo both are batter for others but I think Google is the best search Engine the entire world so Google is far better than Yahoo.
Hmm.. Services. Google gives tons of mail space, but reads the mail for advertising. No thanks.
Google offers to track your location (see Latitude).
Yahoo is probably just as evil, but I can name no service they offer -.-
Google and Yahoo both are batter for others but I think Google is the best search Engine the entire world so Google is far better than Yahoo.
The question of which is better, Yahoo or Google, is sort of a trick question.
The better question is: what are you searching FOR?
One of the big problems with the internet is the sheer amount of false information that is available. There are dedicated groups of people with nothing better to do than to associate a particular search result with their particular political, social, or retail point of view. Case in point would be World Of Warcraft. There's a lot of information out there on how to tweak your avatar in the game, complete quests, and so on. There's also a lot of advertiser information focused on selling Gold, selling levels, and so-on.
I perfer to think of the difference as random and non-random search.
Random search is when you only have an idea about what you want to search for, but you don't know where to start, or what the exact terms are.
As a service, Google is hands down better at random search. At the same time, because Google is the better provider, they are also abused the most, and some groups will pay megabucks for search results placements, and others try to game the google search system.
The result is that in practical use Google and Yahoo are actually roughly about the same. Yahoo's random search isn't as good, but their second class status means many of the advertisers and politically minded groups don't bother trying to game their system.
In non-random search, the results are a clear toss-up. If you know what you are looking for, and where you are looking for it, Google and Yahoo are pretty equal at say, searching for the terms fglrx locks up site:phoronix.com. This is also where a lot of stiff competition exists in the search industry, with sites like Technorati limiting their search indexes.
The search question then largely comes down to the companies themselves, and their user-interfaces. Google is open-source friendly, which many of their products under and Open license. Google also finances Mozilla, and sponsors the Summer of Code. As a corporate Champion, Google stands in line with IBM and AMD.
On the other hand, some people think Google is shadier than a Georgia Swamp. Google Chrome, for example, still has no native Linux port, and the licenses attached to some of the programs have driven quite a bit of controversy. Like IBM and AMD, Google cuts some deals that Open-Source supporters aren't really fond of, like AMD's deal with Novell.
Yahoo, as a company though, makes Google look like a saint. Seriously, when was the last time the Unix YIM was updated? and how many times did Yahoo change their chat protocol preventing third party clients like GAIM from connecting?
The situation for me, goes deeper into visual appeal, an issue I addressed here : http://zerias.blogspot.com/2008/02/m...o-problem.html
When accessed as a search provider through a browsers search bar, Yahoo is little different from Google.
When accessed through the home page, Yahoo is a complete mess.
So for me, I tend to stick with Google. Others might feel differently.\

For me Google!!!!!!!
i don't think which is beter than other, the area is different and the data is different.

Seems to me that a lot of people misunderstand how Google's targeted advertising works. The way people talk, you'd think that humans are reading every query and email.
This is absurd, of course; there's way too much happening for a million employees to read even a tiny fraction of it. No, this is why we have machines that perform text analysis and automatically spit back results without any human interaction at all.
Also, to my recollection, you can't actually buy search placement or pagerank on Google. They want you to pay for their advertisements. You end up paying the same amount if you go for the expensive words, but you do so without skewing the results and undermining the veracity of the search. Need proof? Look at a google for "email": GMail ranks eighth. Google News is seventh in a search for "news".
Google is the best, good service in all sides , Best email service ,best search engine , best analytics , best adsense ...
i like google than yahoo. for some reason it think google is more reliable

Jack Bauer never seems to have a boring day. Whenever we see the fellow, he's always busy saving the world from terrorists, assassins, nerve gas, nuclear weapons, electronic sabotage and static cling—from dawn to dusk to dawn again. The bad guys change from day to day (season to season), but the action remains the same: Jack slogging his way from gunfight to gunfight, car chase to car chase, without so much as a Twinkie to keep him going. Bathroom breaks? Jack says they're for wimps."He's never won," Kiefer Sutherland, who plays Jack, told tv.ign.com. "Not one year has he ever walked out with his goal being accomplished, but he's a guy who's gonna give everything he can and try as hard as he can." And he does it in the face of gut-wrenching loss, staggering treachery and a mountain of red tape. He's a Wild West gunfighter in a 21st-century ethos, battling not just the black hats, but bureaucracy, politics and postmodern sensitivities, too. Put that in your TV juicer and squeeze.All of this goes a long way toward explaining the enduring appeal of America's most tortured tormentor, a guy who sacrifices everything to save the day—along with his own humanity.The show has its merits. It's an undeniable thrill-ride with unexpected nuance. Jack is, in some ways, a heroic champion. Some Christians have even labeled the Counter Terrorism Unit operative a Christ-like figure.But he's also killed his supervisor, shot an innocent woman in the leg and bit out a terrorist's jugular. Not exactly Christ-like material. He's forced medical personnel to revive a nearly dead man so he could whisper unspeakable threats in his ear. Then, when the man falls senseless again, Jack cuts open his chest (blood spurting and smearing) to retrieve a buried data chip.24 has other problems, too. Expletives fly right alongside the bullets. And never mind its one-day-equals-one-season structure, the series fills in gaps with an office soap opera—complete with casual kisses and forbidden affairs. But 24's most cutting sin is its headlong embrace of murder, torture and gore to advance its plot points. And it's not just the guilty who pay.
"12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m." As 24 nears its series finale, it's readying its most gruesome moments. Indeed, this episode may well be the most brutally violent in the show's entire run. And, as always, it's made worse by the fact that Jack's the one who's responsible.After point-blank executing a woman in the minutes leading up to this hour, Jack—admitting that he's driven more by rage and revenge than his typical quest for justice—takes a pliers to the man who shot his lover. Then his fists. Then a knife. Then acid. Then a blowtorch. The camera spares us little of the gory detail. And before it's over, Jack has disemboweled the man to remove a cell phone SIM card from his stomach. (We don't see every detail of that.)Jack has always prized results over process—even when process is translated to mean basic humanity and morality. The onscreen result are images that are truly awful. It's shocking, even in 2010, that they're included in any story at all, much less that they're proffered on TV during prime time in a series that's celebrated by so many.
"11:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m." Captured and tortured by Russian terrorists, Jack escapes by jamming a live jumper cable into his tormentor's chest with his feet, then breaking the guy's neck. CTU tech Dana Walsh, blackmailed by a pair of petty thieves, decides to sever her connection with them once and for all—keeping her fiancé in the dark about her sordid past.Around her swirls 24's standard spiral of violence: Jack's torturer shocks him several times with the jumper cables and also shoves one of his fingers into a bloody open wound in Jack's side. The indestructible CTU agent also gets grazed by buckshot. He mows down four people with guns, knives and his bare hands. Characters blurt out "h‑‑‑" a half-dozen times, "d‑‑n" once and misuse God's name once. Dana's nemeses loiter at a strip club where, among other related things (both sexual and alcoholic in nature), the camera briefly catches the side of a dancer's bare breast. References are made to infidelity.In a montage of clips from previous episodes, we see a policeman beaten with a baseball bat and Renee stabbing a Russian mobster to death.

Lots of Compliments
Like some other reviewers have said, this is the first a-line skirt I've had in a long time. The fit & flare look is back in this year and I'm loving it. I've gotten lots of compliments each time I've worn it. I've paired it with a button down for work and a white v-neck tee for casual wear. Great buy!

Sweet little skirt
The nautical theme is gaining ground this season with sailor styled pants and skirts, and tops in navy and white hues. This skirt is flirty and could definitely be worn throughout the spring and summer dressed up for work and dressed down for beach parties and boating. It has flattering lines, it's fun, and is a MUST buy for the season!!! Add the cute blue polka dot blazer to keep warm on cool spring days or to dress it up for the office!
April 3, 2013
Subtle and adorable
I love the buttons because they're subtle, yet easy to see. The skirt has an adorable fit and feel to it. Perfect for work!
March 28, 2013
Super Cute!
I absolutely love this skirt! it is incredibly comfortable and so adorable! Fits true to size, I just get a litle self-conscious in it because I have wide hips which causes the pleats to open up a little more than in the picture, but still a great skirt and I love wearing it.
March 26, 2013
My First A-Line Skirt in Years!
I am petite, and A-line skirts tend to overpower my figure a bit, and just aren't always that flattering. But, when I saw this online I had to try it on - and boy, am I glad I did! It fits so nice and snug around the wait, and the volume of the skirt is just right, that it actually is flattering on me! Thank you Limited! Perfect combination of style and fit!
March 2, 2013
Love it!!!!
I'm in love with this skirt one of my fav kirts I have gotten from here

Because I love the way her mind works, this is the first in an occasional series of Carler stories in which I will endeavor to recreate verbatim what E tells me about him, just as soon as I get to my laptop.
Mama, Carler is seven now. He had a birthday and he's in kindergarten. He lives in a bed that's on a boat that's on a car that's on the roof of SMA's house but he can't sleep there tonight because there's a bear at his house. So he's going to stay in my bed and have a sleepover and I'll keep him safe even though I'm not a mom. I'm going to snuggle him because Carler says he's afraid of bears and because I don't like to be alone so Carler will sleep here, on my shoulder. Carler says he likes my snowman sheets. Carler flies a airplane to school and he is going to fly his airplane onto the bear so he can sleep in his house again one day. Carler says you can go downstairs now, Mama. Goodnight, Mama.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Polyenes for Treating Thrush
Prescription polyenes are one type of antifungal medicine that stops the growth of the yeast that causes thrush. This gives the body's immune system a better chance to destroy the yeast.
Polyenes treat mild thrush in children and adults.1
Doctors sometimes suggest breast-feeding mothers to treat their nipples with a polyene to prevent the infection from spreading to their nipples.
Nystatin works best when it comes in direct contact with the yeast that causes thrush. So be sure to apply the medicine to both sides of the mouth. Swish the medicine around in your mouth for as long as possible before swallowing or spitting it out. For babies, put the medicine on the white patches caused by thrush.
If your infection gets severe or won't go away, your doctor may suggest another medicine to help treat thrush.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Side effects of nystatin are not common. They may include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
If the yeast has caused your baby to have diaper rash, the doctor may prescribe nystatin cream or ointment for the diaper area.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The incomparable Audrey Hepburn, who died Jan. 20, 1993 – 20 years ago today – at age 63, starred in some of the most memorable films of her era. Today we highlight her best – and best-loved – roles. (Wikimedia Commons)
Roman Holiday (1953)
Hepburn landed her breakout role opposite Gregory Peck in a part originally written for Elizabeth Taylor. Jean Simmons was also high on director William Wyler's list, but Hepburn landed the role after a screen test. More impressive to the director than the scene she performed was her demeanor when candidly speaking to him afterward (unbeknownst to her, the cameras were still rolling). The first Hollywood movie to be filmed entirely on location in Italy was also Hepburn's first major role. Her co-star Peck was so sure she would win an Oscar for the performance that he told the studio they should put her name above the title (they did, and Hepburn won). The studio was so pleased with Hepburn's work that they gave her the entirety of her wardrobe – expensive dresses, hats, handbags and jewelry – as a wedding present for her upcoming nuptials to businessman James Hanson. The engagement, however, was called off before the movie was released.
Sabrina (1954)
As in Roman Holiday – and many of Hepburn's movies, in fact – she once again plays a woman who falls romantically for a man old enough to be her father. In real life, she did reportedly have an on-set romance with co-star William Holden, but ended the relationship when she learned he was unable to have children. Humphrey Bogart was also in the picture, though he was none too happy about it, quarreling with Holden (who he called 'Smiling Jim') and complaining about the multiple takes Hepburn needed to nail her dialogue. He was also unhappy that director Billy Wilder began shooting with a still unfinished script. (In fact, Wilder once convinced Hepburn to feign illness in order to postpone shooting a scene that hadn't actually been written yet.) Sabrina marked Hepburn's first time working with French designer Hubert de Givenchy, who would provide her wardrobe for most of her career.
Breakfast At Tiffany's (1961)
One of the most celebrated movies in American history (Mickey Rooney's painful 'yellowface' performance as Mr. Yunioshi aside), Breakfast at Tiffany's provided Hepburn with the kind of iconic role even many of the biggest movie stars are never lucky enough to find. Once again, she wasn't the first choice – author Truman Capote had wanted Marilyn Monroe and the studio had given him assurances the role was hers. But Monroe demurred partly on the advice of acting coach Lee Strasberg, who felt playing a prostitute would be bad for her image (Kim Novak also claims to have passed on the role). Though Hepburn didn't mind playing a call girl, she did balk at hints of her character's bisexuality and had them removed from the script. Hepburn singing "Moon River" – a song written by Henry Mancini in a single octave as Hepburn wasn't an experienced singer – remains one of the film's most memorable scenes, but it nearly didn't make the cut. Hepburn would become the second-highest-paid actress in Hollywood with this film, her salary said to be $750,000. Not bad – although it's worth noting that the black dress she wore in the film recently sold for nearly $1 million dollars at auction.
My Fair Lady (1964)
So successful was the Broadway version of this adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion that Jack Warner paid a then unheard of sum of $5 million to secure the film rights (a record not broken until 1978 when Columbia shelled out a bunch of dough for another Broadway hit – Annie). It was money well spent, as the film would win eight Oscars and be a huge financial success. Hepburn went through extensive training in order to pull off so many singing numbers, only to see most of her performances overdubbed by Marni Nixon – a vocalist who also did uncredited work for the likes of Deborah Kerr in The King and I and Natalie Wood in West Side Story.
Wait Until Dark (1967)
Produced by Hepburn's then husband Mel Ferrer, Wait Until Dark was another Hepburn vehicle based on a Broadway play. It would be her last movie before she withdrew from the screen for nearly ten years, and she threw herself into the role of Suzy Hendrix – even going so far as enrolling in a school for the blind and learning Braille. One interesting bit of trivia – during World War II, 16-year-old Hepburn volunteered at a Dutch hospital and one of the patients she tended was a British paratrooper named Terrence Young – the same man who would more than two decades later direct her Oscar-nominated performance in this film.

Serotonin syndrome occurs when you take medications that cause high levels of the chemical serotonin to accumulate in your body.
Serotonin syndrome can occur when you increase the dose of such a drug or add a new drug to your regimen. Certain illegal drugs and dietary supplements also are associated with serotonin syndrome.
Serotonin is a chemical your body produces that's needed for your nerve cells and brain to function. But too much serotonin causes symptoms that can range from mild (shivering and diarrhea) to severe (muscle rigidity, fever and seizures). Severe serotonin syndrome can be fatal if not treated.
Milder forms of serotonin syndrome may go away within a day of stopping the medications that cause symptoms and, sometimes, taking drugs that block serotonin.

[edit] Introduction
If you like programming, and especially coding on FreeBSD, we would love to see you join the PC-BSD® Team as a PC-BSD® committer. Developers who want to help improve the PC-BSD® codebase are always welcome! If you would like to participate in core development, subscribe to the developers mailing list[1]. Once you have signed up, feel free to browse the active tickets in the PC-BSD® Bug database[2]. If you see something that you want to work on, or have a proposal for a project you wish to add to PC-BSD®, please let us know via the developers list and we will be happy to help get you started.
Most of the PC-BSD® specific GUI tools are developed in C++ using the Qt Libraries, and other non-GUI development is done using standard Bourne shell scripts. There may be cases where other languages or libraries are needed, but those will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so feel free to let us know your proposals on the developers mailing list.
[edit] Getting the Source Code and Development Tools
The PC‑BSD® source code is available from github and git needs to be installed in order to download the source code. When using PC‑BSD®, git is included in the base install.
To download the source code, cd to the directory to store the source and type:
git clone git://github.com/pcbsd/pcbsd.git
This will create a directory named pcbsd/ which contains the local copy of the repository. To keep the local copy in sync with the official repository, run git pull within the pcbsd directory.
PC‑BSD® graphical applications use Qt version 5 and their source is located in pcbsd/src-qt5/. In order to compile the applications in this directory, install the "PC-BSD Build ToolChain" PBI using AppCafe®. To instead install this PBI from the command line, type pbi add devel/pcbsd-toolchain.
Most of the PC‑BSD® source code is divided into two sub-categories:
- src-sh/ contains shell and C programs which do not include GUIs. These are the command line utilities used in TrueOS® and PC-BSD® and which are installed by the FreeBSD sysutils/pcbsd-utils port.
- src-qt5/ contains the Qt5-based GUIs seen in PC-BSD® and which are installed by the FreeBSD sysutils/pcbsd-utils-qt5 port
To compile the command line utilities:
cd src-sh
To compile the graphical utilities:
cd src-qt4
Several Qt IDEs are available in AppCafe®. The "QtCreator[3] PBI is a full featured IDE designed to help new Qt users get up and running faster while boosting the productivity of experienced Qt developers. Qt Designer[4] is lighter weight as it is only a .ui file editor and does not provide any other IDE functionality. It can be installed as the "qt5-designer" raw package using AppCafe® or pkg install.
If you plan to submit changes so that they can be included in PC-BSD®, fork the repository using the instructions at Fork a repo[5]. Make your changes to the fork, then submit them by issuing a git pull request[6]. Once your changes have been reviewed, they will be committed or sent back with suggestions.
[edit] Basic Guidelines for Writing a PC‑BSD® Utility
PC‑BSD® is a community driven project that relies on the support of developers in the community to help in the design and implementation of new utilities and tools for PC‑BSD®. Going forward, we aim to present a unified design so that programs feel "familiar" to users. As an example, while programs could have "File", "Main", or "System" as their first entry on the "File menu", we want to present one option, "File", as it is the accepted norm for the first category on the menu bar.This section describes a small list of guidelines to menu and program design in PC‑BSD®. Since most programs designed for the last couple of decades have followed this structure, it makes sense for us to follow the same standard.
[edit] File Menus
Any graphical program that is a full-featured utility, such as Warden® or AppCafe®, should have a file menu. However, file menus are not necessary for small widget programs or dialogue boxes. When making a file menu, a good rule of thumb is keep it simple. Most PC‑BSD® utilities do not need more than two or three items on the file menu. An example of a well laid out "File" menu is AppCafe®, shown in Figure 11.3a.
"Configure" is our adopted standard for the category that contains "Settings" or other configuration related settings. If additional categories are needed, check to see what other PC‑BSD® utilities are using.
[edit] File Menu Icons
File menu icons are taken from the KDE "Oxygen" theme located in /usr/local/share/icons/oxygen. Use these file menu icons so we do not have a bunch of different icons used for the same function. Table 11.3a lists the commonly used icons and their default file names.
Function | File Menu Icon | File Name |
Quit | row 1, cell 2 | window-close.png |
Settings | row 2, cell 2 | configure.png |
[edit] Buttons
PC‑BSD® utilities use these buttons as follows:
- Apply: applies settings and leaves the window open.
- Close: closes program without applying settings.
- OK: closes dialogue window and saves settings.
- Cancel: closes dialogue window without applying settings.
- Save: saves settings and closes window.
Fully functional programs like AppCafe® and Warden® do not use close buttons on the front of the application. Basically, whenever there is a "File" menu, that and an x in the top right corner of the application are used instead. Dialogues and widget programs are exceptions to this rule. A good example of a widget program would be Update Manager.
[edit] Keyboard Shortcuts
Many users benefit from keyboard shortcuts and we aim to make them available in every PC‑BSD® utility. Qt makes it easy to assign keyboard shortcuts. For instance, to configure keyboard shortcuts that browse the "File" menu, put &File in the text slot for the menu entry when making the application. Whichever letter has the & symbol in front of it will become the hot key. You can also make a shortcut key by clicking the menu or submenu entry and assigning a shortcut key. Be careful not to duplicate hot keys or shortcut keys. Every key in a menu and submenu should have a key assigned for ease of use and accessibility. Tables 11.3b and 11.3c summarize the commonly used shortcut and hot keys.
Shortcut Key | Action |
CTRL + Q | Quit |
F1 | Help |
Hot Key | Action |
Alt + Q | Quit |
Alt + S | Settings |
Alt + I | Import |
Alt + E | Export |
ALT + F | File Menu |
ALT + C | Configure Menu |
ALT + H | Help Menu |
[edit] Saving Settings in a Qt Application
When saving an application's settings, the QSettings class should be used if possible. There are two different "organizations", depending on whether the application is running with root permissions or user permissions. Use "PCBSD" for the organization for applications that run with user permissions and "PCBSD-root" for applications that are started with root permissions via sudo. Proper use prevents the directory where settings files are saved from being locked down by root applications, allowing user applications to save and load their settings. Examples 11.3a and 11.3b demonstrate how to use the QSettings class for each type of permission.
Example 11.3a: User Permission Settings
Example 11.3b: Root Permission Settings

Zito aims to follow Lincecum's no-no with quality start
Stults looks to continue home dominance in pre-break finale
Just a few days ago, the All-Star break had to look pretty enticing for the Giants. They dropped five of six in a homestand for the first time in three years and traveled south to San Diego at 10 games under .500.
As Sunday, the final day before the break, approached, San Francisco started playing its best baseball in weeks, capped off by Tim Lincecum's no-hitter on Saturday, the 15th in club history. As the Giants attempt to close out the first half with a four-game sweep Sunday, they'll do it with a new face: Jeff Francoeur.
Franceour, along with activated Giants reliever Santiago Casilla, joined the club Saturday. Manager Bruce Bochy indicated Franceour would be in his starting lineup Sunday.
The Giants are hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with Franceour as they did in 2010 with Pat Burrell. After the Rays released Burrell early in '10, the struggling outfielder signed with the Giants and played admirably in the World Series-winning season.
"If I hit, I'll play against some righties, too," said Franceour, who added that the move has rejuvenated him. "But, that's up to me. That's something I have to take care of. I'm excited for the opportunity."
The first opportunity comes against Padres southpaw Eric Stults.
Giants: Zito follows Lincecum's no-no
For San Francisco's Sunday starter, Barry Zito, the focus isn't on throwing a no-hitter, it's on simply providing a quality outing on the road.
Zito has yet to record a quality start in seven road starts. He's lost five of those starts and has a 9.38 ERA away from home. Conversely, Zito's record at home is 4-1 to go along with a 2.45 ERA.
Zito allowed six runs (one earned) in a brief 3 2/3 innings outing at Petco Park on April 27.
On Zito's side, however, is the Padres' recent struggles at the plate. San Diego has lost 18 of 21 games, and much of that is due to an unproductive offense. The club hasn't reached a double-digit run total since May 25 and has amassed just three runs in three games this series.
Padres: Stults successful at home
The Padres are 7-1 in Stults' last nine starts at Petco Park. On Tuesday, he tossed his second complete game of the season when he allowed just one run against Colorado. It's San Diego's only win in its last 15 games.
Over his last 13 starts, he's 5-5 with a 2.89 ERA while yielding a .233 opponents' average and 49 strikeouts with just 19 walks.
Against the Giants, however, Stults has not been so successful. In three starts against San Francisco, Stults is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA in 17 1/3 innings.
Worth noting
• Buster Posey became the first Giants catcher to be on the receiving end of two no-hitters.
• The Padres have now been no-hit victims eight times, but are the only Major League club to never record a no-hitter. Lincecum's gem was the first no-hit performance by any pitcher in Petco Park history.
• Lincecum's 148 pitches marked the most by a Giants pitcher since Vida Blue tossed 153 in an outing in 1979.

The largest country in Africa. Sudan is rich with various ethnicities and religions. People like to say that the civil war in Sudan is caused by racism. It has nothing to do with races, you'll find different ethnicities on both sides of the war. It's just a movement against the current government. Sudan remains strong, and sudanese people remain proud.
Don't send your troops to my country and "free" Sudan and turn it into another Iraq, you'll just make matters worse. Stay the fuck out :)

I like making predictions so here goes:
1. Elizaveta Tuktamisheva - One of the most exciting skaters we've seen in a few years. The crowd and judges will love her if she's clean.
2. Alissa Czisny - Defending GP champ will probably make minor jump mistakes ...and her music is always a snoozer....But the judges like her.
3. Mao Asada - Will she land her triple axel and/or her triple salchow? ...if so she can win.
4. Akiko Suzuki - I hope she does well but I think she needs others to make mistakes to be on the podium.
5. Caroline Kostner - She'll probably have a few mistakes on the jumps.... but very elegant.
6. Alena Leonova - Her programs and costumes dont seem to be on par with the other top ladies.
1. Patrick Chan - He's so good her can miss one of his quads and still win
2. Daisuke Takahashi - Not quite as good as Chan but will skate well.
3. Javier Fernandez - Mounting his charge toward the world podium.
4. Yuzuru Hanyu - New kid on the block wont get the scores he deserves.
5. Michal Brezina - I predict he will mess up near the end of the LP.
6. Jeremy Abbott - Could be 3rd but quad appears to be MIA.
You clearly do not know what Level 4 elements really are. It doesn't matter if your non-jump elements are tentative/slow/ice coverage sucks/whatever--that is reflected in GOE points and PCS. It is irrelevant to the awarding of levels. A skater is rewarded level 4s if they manage to cram in the right amount of features for the element (e.g. for footwork: use of upper-body movement, half the pattern on one foot only, combo of different turns executed in both directions, etc).
For those of you who are complaining Liza's PCS is too low, you should really pay attention to what Doris wrote! Someone else wrote "it's not within her control how her program is choreographed" but it is the responsibility of her coach to ensure that the program picks up all the points it can and he did not do this from a CH standpoint with the ice coverage. She could also skate it "bigger" if she was able.
You are right, oversight on my part and i never claimed to be an expert so just want to learn more on just why are the judge seeing different thing from what I am seeing. I do know it has something to do with minimum requirement standard, but exactly what that is I don't quite understand when compare them side by side. For example she had Straight line footwork of level 3 at NHK, But when you compare to hers score in COR, it has been upgraded to level 4 and she gained 3.9 + 1.10 vs NHK doing the exact same thing 3.30 + 0.93. I look at these 2 side by side, and I am just lost. Can you tell me exactly what is the difference and why it has been upgraded? As far as I can see the choreography hasn't changed.
Please also tell me why with so many little mistakes through out her LP at COR that obviously affect the flow and her presentation, which I found to be a world of difference from her NHK performance has hardly affect her PCS? ( only 1.37 difference, surely that should affect SS, PE as well as IN) Cheers!
(Oh and it still does't explain the lack of difficult jump elements comparatively to others, along with her less clean performance with negative GOEs. Or is Mao the new PCHAN but without the quads, or the 3:3 or 3A for that matter.)
Mskater93, I agree about the ice coverage part, but I noticed this type of choreography 'oversight' is very 'common' right now with the new generations not just to Liza, e.g Artur, Florent, Alena's programs, although they may skated bigger that Liza, but the actual ice coverage (or rather the distance and use of arena) comparatively to their competitor is smaller. It is understandable since Risk vs Scoring factors. Bigger ice coverage, more tiring, more prone to mistakes on everything else. Less ice coverage, hardly reflected in the overall CH score, the maximum loose out is some where 1 to 3. That is fine when you can gain it back in spades from successfully complete your other elements scores successfully without tiring it out with positive GOEs. That was one of my criticsms of the scale of values seems faulty, so no wonder we rarely see balanced choreography, because the points rewarded for it vs the risks is just not worth it.
Actually I have no problem with Liza's PCS, but I do have some issues with others who put up imo sub par performances from what they are capable of to deserve those marks.

i think Liza was asked in press conference and she is aware of her ice coverage ( the journalist tried to make a joke of it that she didnt reach his side- in my opinion not very successful) and said she will try to improve it by next year. I think Mishin in an interview said that the main goal for this season is Liza to be consistent and confident. So I guess she does go as far as she can right now. And Mishin probably has a plan for each season. It is interesting that he got Liza to seniors right away while Arthur was kept in juniors for a while while he could have been in seniors earlier. So i believe he knows what each season can be done.
While I agree with you that technically, she needs to improve, especially her jumps, I don't see how anyone can say Mao's artistry has always been questionable. Of course, artistry is subjective, but even so, I would think most people would say Mao has artistry.
Also, I don't know where you got the blatant biases strongly favouring her over the other competitors supported by her strong (&rich) federation and ISU who seems determined to prop her up contrary to what is delivered from. Also, the entitled leading lady comment.
Also that same federation (JSF) and ISU definitely not prop her up as they had no problem last year:
1.) "Letting" Mao place 8th at NHK Trophy
2.) Excluding her from the GPF for the last two years.
3.) Letting Miki Ando beat her at Japanese Nationals and at 4CC.
4.) Letting Miki Ando, Yuna Carolina Kostner, Alena Leonova and Alissa Csizny from beating her at Worlds last year.
I realize you are talking about GP this year but: Akiko could have beat her at NHK if she did just did a tad better in the FS and Leonova and Adelina definitely did not deserve to beat her at COR given their lack of artistry and/or mistakes (in Adelina's case).
And I think it's absolutely terrible that you're comparing her to Patrick Chan -- she is not getting inflated scores. She is more than 20 POINTS off her PB overall, ten points off her SP PB and 9 points off her LP PB.
Also while she isn't doing 3A, 3-3 or a quad; she is at least attempting all the triples and at least getting 4 of 6 ratified (lutz has had edge calls and the Axel is MIA for now). That's not the case with all the girls in this competition.

Step sequence leveling is based on checking off criteria to get the features to get to the specific level. The likely difference between NHK and CoR (and the cause of your perception that it was tentative) was clarity in the variety of turns. To get a level 4, you need complex variety of turns (basically all types in both CW and CCW directions: three, bracket, twizzle, loop, counter, rocker) versus variety (at least 5 different types in both direction of turns for L3) versus simple variety (4). There was probably 1 or 2 turns at NHK that were, in the opinion of the tech panel, indeterminant which dropped her level to 3. She probably was more precise in her turns at CoR. I would need to look at the step sequence at each competition back to back to give you the exact cause of the improvement in level. I know some skaters at Regionals and Sectionals who got their step sequences called L1 because some turns were imprecise which dropped them below 4 different types of turns (basically counters and rockers were more 3 turns than what they were intended which dropped the variety).
PCS is not something that can be compared from event to event, even though people all seem to think so and try to. It's more of a placeholder like the presentation mark under 6.0 (or at least, it's treated that way by the judges) and really depends on where the first skater's PCS mark falls on where the better skaters end up. Also, judges like to be in the marking corridor so they aren't questioned after the event. Yes, you can complain about that all you'd like but the judges have to be (somewhat) like sheep to stay on panels and not be questioned.
Liza's ice coverage is WORSE by far than the other skaters you mentioned and is not really noticeable on TV because of how they follow the skater with the camera. From people who were at SC, some friends of mine made comments of how she only used about 2/3 of the rink to skate versus the other skaters there, who, while may not have completely covered the ice, had much better ice utilization than she did. Not only does this affect the CH PCS mark, it also affects the SS mark and the TR mark. Also, she's probably skating "smaller" than the other ladies in the group which will affect the IN and PE mark which are much more subjective. She's trying to make up for it right now on the TES mark, which is her team's decision and maybe the right way to start.
May be I don't consider artistry like everyone else. To some maybe as long as long as she fulfill their version of the idealised beautiful skater, it would qualify her as artistic. For me that is just projection what you feel is artistic, but nothing to do with true artistry itself which should be abstract, free, lucid and subjective to what the performer are trying to express with originality, meanings and deliberated thoughts with clarity. Like what Daisuke has been doing year after year, try out different things, different version of the truth, exploration and expressing new meanings, variations beyond the self. Something Jeremy is doing when he started to choreographed his own work last year and seems to start to project what he feel is uniquely beautiful meditative skating in its bare necessity. And actually Patrick is begin to enjoying doing as well, and Hanyu is also ahead of the game exploring with feelings, emotions and musicality and let that affect their performances.
I'd say Mao is a lovely and beautiful skater, but may be that is because she is like that to begin with. Her natural style as evident in her earlier days is still more or less as her style today that ALSO happens to match the archetypes ethereal skater because of her classic ballet training,. This may makes her a classic beautiful skater, but not truly an artistically matured skater in the grand scheme of things. IMO Tat tried to push her to develope her artistry through diversity and experimentation. Problem with these things is, they can be costly excercises to someone who's not naturally expressive (beyond the self convincingly) and competition wise it proved too costly and the scale of ambition did not fair well with her desire to remain competitive, thus her Lieberstraume 2 years in a row now.
My problem is also given the state of her scores as it is, why should Mao need to improve her jump content at all?!
Given ISU has basically given her the approval with this type of content can already give her sufficient threshold to lead and benchmark her future scores when she could just have to focus on going clean with her 3-4 triple triple jumps (without 3A or 3:3) with positive GOEs, less mistakes; while everyone else has to put in 6 triples, a few 3:3 and they still won't able to catch up! Surely that doesn't sound right and seems some sort of double standard going on?
If I am wrong or appear unfair in my assessment, please feel free to correct. It wasn't intentional, but i just don't understand how skewed her mark and how that makes the ladies field look. I would prefer people point out just how great her program is to justify the score other than it is beautiful skating (which it is), but it shouldn't be the main criteria in this sport without the technical difficulty in particular the jumping content to support it.
Mrs.P... last year was a different story. They had Miki with an optimised COP program taking advantaged of the 10% bonus which she can jump her way through without the 3:3, while Mao visibly was not herself and her jumps were being 'fixed' and were missing. It was beyond what one can do to justifiably prop her to do when they also have Kanako and Akiko. (And actually she had 3 triples there too in her LP.)
The same could be said for Carolina Kostner who actually had less jump content last year and she managed to win one GP and medal at the other event and the GPF. And she continues to do well without all the triples.
Mirai doesn't have a 3-3, a salchow and a flutz and still won silver at TEB.
Alena doesn't really have a lutz and keeps getting away with doing 3 flips.
I think it's clear that ISU have given a benchmark for ALL skaters to do well without a full arsenal of triples, not just Mao. That's why the tech content has been so poor. At least Mao is trying to do all six triples.
And it's not like Mao won by a million points at COR. She only beat Alena by 2 points. That's hardly a ringing endorsement from the judges. And also if the ISU is so *** bent on winning then why did she lose to Akiko at NHK?
Also one more note on these inflated scores you claim: Mao hasn't broken her PB in the LP since 2007---when she did two 3-3s.
Last edited by Mrs. P; 11-29-2011 at 05:47 PM.
But my point is Mao had 3 clean triples while Alena had 6 (1 under rotated). btw I have problem with Carolina too (but that is for another thread :D)
Akiko brought a 3:3 at her SP along with her 6 triples for the LP (1 e on flip, 1 < on combo), again Mao only had 3 clean triples there at her LP.
Mao isn't using her 2007 content, otherwise I wouldn't be complaining Her current LP content is only going for 4 triples, 2 in combination and without 3:3 or 3A and she scored the highest LP of the season, even with negative GOEs.

Health care executives most highly compensated
Health care executives most highly compensated
MANAGED CARE May 1999. ©1999 Stezzi Communications
On average, CEOs for HMOs and other health care companies receive two thirds more compensation than their counterparts in other industries, according to the Crystal Report on Executive Compensation. In studying compensation packages for over 1,500 CEOs, Crystal found that the people at the top of HMOs and health care companies live better than CEOs in the consumer, pharmaceutical, and finance industries.
Crystal put each CEO into an industry category; 31 categories had sufficient data to allow industry-to-industry comparisons of executive compensation packages, after adjusting for company size and shareholder-return performance. From these 31 industries, a baseline was developed. The average adjusted compensation for all CEOs in an industry was then compared with the baseline.
How chiefs in various industries compare to baseline
On average, CEOs in six industries receive compensation at least 25 percent below Crystal's baseline. CEOs in four industries receive at least 25 percent more.

Australia is packed to the brim with unforgettable sights and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, all beckoning adventurous travelers. Of course, with so much to do, the real task is narrowing it all down. That�s where a bit of planning (and lots of help from Australia tour planning pros) will make all the difference, ensuring that you get to see the very best of the land down under.
For many travelers, the sheer effort and knowledge required to plan a trip to Australia is overwhelming � so much so that they might put off the adventure. Australia tours, like those offered by Tauck, make the journey less about logistics and more about enjoyment � with expertly designed itineraries in place, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy. Many travelers are also surprised to find that tours can represent a cost savings of up to 40 percent over traveling on your own.
Tours are no longer the cookie-cutter option for travel, either, so adventurous spirits will enjoy them just as much as someone who appreciates a leisurely journey. The people you meet and sights you see in Australia are as unique as you are, but these are some of the key places you�ll enjoy during your tour:
1. Victorian Melbourne. As an introduction to Australia, it�s hard to top this elegant city. A sightseeing tour of its Victorian-age architecture is an ideal way to get a hands-on feel for the country�s history. Some of the key sights include St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Queen Victoria Market and the serene Royal Botanic Gardens. The ANZAC War Memorial sheds light on the sacrifices of Australia and New Zealand Army Corps in World War I.
2. Nature and culture at Uluru and in the desert outback. Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is Australia�s most iconic natural sight, and a necessary stop for any Australia tour. Watching the colors and shadows shift across it at sunset and sunrise is a mesmerizing experience. Australia's Aboriginal culture is strong in the Outback and the desert landscape around Uluru, so it�s also a great place to learn about millennia-old traditions and "dreamtime" legends. Guided tours focused on Aboriginal life show a more mystical side to this stark, impressive landscape.
3. Set sail in Sydney Harbour. If there�s one sight that instantly says "Australia," it�s the Sydney Opera House. For travelers on Tauck�s Australia tour there are two ways to get ideal views of this architectural gem: from the waters of Sydney's famous harbor and on an exclusive tour that lets travelers see all the impressive details. On one of Tauck's Australia travel options, participants can see it both ways, including a relaxing luncheon onboard the cruise as you take in Sydney Harbour Bridge and the cityscape.
4. Rainforests and reefs. In Australia�s Far North Queensland, nature is anything but restrained. Here the Great Barrier Reef, so big it�s visible from space, stretches out along the coast � providing visitors endless opportunities to see aquatic wildlife and vegetation. And near the town of Port Douglas, you can explore rainforests filled with primordial plants, either on foot or in the comfort of a gondola on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway.
5. Say hello to neighboring New Zealand. A world-class destination in its own right, New Zealand adds even more excitement to an Australia tour. From the stunning fjords of Milford Sound and rugged coastlines to wine country and geothermal wonders, New Zealand�s natural beauty is superlative. Local culture is enriched by Maori traditions, which you can experience at the Te Puia Maori Cultural Center in Rotorua.
Whether you�re a nature lover, culture vulture, history buff or simply a traveler looking for the destination of a lifetime, Australia should be on the top of your to-do list. To find out more about all that an Australia tour includes, visit Tauck online.

GoPro HERO Wide action cam goes high-def
A wide variety of mounting systems will let you put the camera on your helmet, handlebar, RC model, automobile, surfboard, chest or wrist
Article Summary
In the past few years, several companies have started selling tiny, rugged, inexpensive "action" video cameras designed to be mounted on wild-n-crazy vantage points such as mountain bike helmets, hang-gliders or even model rockets (yes, it's been done). Up until recently, however, a common complaint about these cameras was that their lenses weren't wide enough to capture all the action. That problem was squarely addressed with the autumn 2008 release of a new camera, the GoPro HERO Wide. Now, GoPro has gone one better by introducing a High-Definition version of that same model.
