Description / Features
The Issues Report plugin provides the ability to generate HTML report on issues.
The main use case is for developers to check the code they have added or changed before pushing it back to the SCM.
Here's an example of HTML report (you can download the full report here):
Issues can then be filtered by severity, new issues only, etc.
- Install the plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- Restart the SonarQube server
As the main use case is for developers to check the code they have added or changed before pushing it back to the SCM, the Issues Report plugin is usually used in preview mode. This is this usage that is detailed below.
Install your favorite analyzer (SonarQube Runner, Maven or Ant) on your local machine. You only have to set the
sonar.host.url property to point to your remote SonarQube server (connection settings to the remote database do not have to be provided for a preview as no data is pushed to the database).
Copy the configuration file (sonar-project.properties, pom.xml, etc.) that is used to analyze the project on the remote server to your local machine. Make sure that the
sonar.sources property refers to the directory containing the source code on your local machine (or update it accordingly). The tree structure of the source code on your local machine must match the tree structure that has been remotely analyzed by SonarQube.
To get an HTML report, set the
sonar.issuesReport.html.enable property to
true. To define its location, set the
sonar.issuesReport.html.location property to an absolute or relative path to the destination for the HTML report. The default value is .sonar/issues-report.html for the SonarQube Runner and Ant, and target/sonar/issues-report.html for Maven.
To display a short report in the console, set the
sonar.issuesReport.console.enable property to
Finally, run a preview that generates an HTML report:
Another useful feature is to limit the scope to the files that have been recently created or modified. To do so, the
sonar.inclusions property can be set. In the following example, only the myCobolProgram.cbl Cobol program will be checked:
Known Limitation
The Issues Report plugin is not yet compatible with multi-module projects. See https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARPLUGINS-2805.

Corsair is really getting worse with their PSUs. Okay, they're not bad, but they're continuously moving further from perfect.
And even if the sticker is upside-down, it's still better than mounting the PSU upside-down. The funny thing is, though, that even cases with a top-mounted PSU would likely have the sticker upside-down since most of those are fan-down as well.
A weakness that does exist for the Corsair powersupplies is the sleeving side. Not the stock job, I mean if you want to sleeve the powersupply yourself. The wires often go from one pin to two pins, or two pins or even three pins to one pin. The pins themselves are quite rubbish too and are really uncooperative.
This is my office-at-home/gaming setup - the PC on the right on the 21.5" is what I usually use for testing things or for facebook updates while on the main screen (two cables). I use the netbook for general quotes when on the run. I have a galaxy note II for checking mail and a Samsung 10.1" for typing / watching movies / doing remote support on the run.
My gaming PC is nothing over the top as I tend to keep it mid-level, so I can sell it as "demo" every six months and upgrade.
We sell 400~600 PC's per year - to corporates. This rig plays pretty much everything at ultra and the works reliably.
Currently, it's a newish non-overclocked i5 (it was put in about two months ago, so I don't remember what speed),
Intel Mainboard (I only use genuine Intel M/B), Gigabyte 660ti 2Gb OC, 16Gb RAM
2 x 128Gb Agility OCZ SSD's, Seagate 500gb sata III. Some parts, I don't upgrade as often as others, some I give to a techie as a gift when I've had my use out of it. I have had bad experiences with AMD and they don't sell well in South Africa, so I don't support their products.

it provides no added safety benefit anymore, most modern multi rail units are split from a single rail anyway

Dell U3415w | Ducky Shine3 YoS | EVGA Torq X5 | Xonar Essence One | KRK RP8G2s
Multi-rail is slightly safer, and while they've gotten better with single-rail, it's mostly marketting hype (but to be fair, these are seen on both sides).
And Seasonic's PSUs, for example, are different 12V-rails in multi-rails, but can be combined to a single.
Personally, i'd rather have 100A/1200W on a single rail and know that it alone can provide power for any setup. Sure, with multi-rail, you can take 1 output from different rails to connect to the system (e.g. 1 connector for each PCIE port on a single card from dual-rail) and split the load between them, but there's really not a whole lot of difference to the end user either way.
Single rail vs multi-rail has been done to death on enthusiast forums. Along with politics and religion, it's one of the things you don't discuss at the dinner table

MISSION VIEJO, Burl Estes: The U.S. Justice Department is suing credit rating agency Standard & Poor's for involvement in causing our 2008 economic meltdown. S&P was the rating agency that, more recently, downgraded the U.S. credit rating.
|MCT Illustration
The Justice Department is not suing other credit-rating agencies, such as Moody's, which also rated the packaged mortgages sold to Wall Street. Payback time?
I think the Justice Department should sue New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former Rep. Barney Frank, since they were primary causes of our economic meltdown.
After the Department of Housing and Urban Development became a regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 1992, those government-sponsored enterprises set numerical goals – quotas – for the share of their lending that was to be for "affordable housing." In 1996, HUD set a target that 42 percent were to be financed for people with incomes below the median income in their areas. When Andrew Cuomo later became the head of HUD, he raised that quota to 50 percent.
Responding to a bill that would strengthen regulations affecting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and to fears these entities were buying mortgages from those who couldn't possibly afford them, and then packaging and selling them to Wall Street, Rep. Frank claimed, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not facing any kind of financial crisis."
In rating those mortgage packages, S&P had no firsthand knowledge of who those subprime and Alternative-A mortgage buyers were. All the organization knew was that they were packaged mortgages and that mortgage securities had been a solid investment for 108 years.
In short, our government screwed up big time by trying to make "affordable housing" available to people who couldn't qualify for mortgage loans under long-established lending rules that required proof of both income and credit history. By doing so, the people they hurt the most were minorities.
The first 11 foreclosures in my middle-class neighborhood involved Hispanic families who were, in essence, victimized by our government, which was trying to help them achieve the American Dream of homeownership. And the first institutions that collapsed, requiring government intervention and billions in bailouts, were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Hagel under fire
IRVINE, Chuck Booth: Gee, why are all these tough questions being put to Chuck Hagel? He just wants to handle the responsibility of the country's defense. If he doesn't know something, he can ask the president, who can ask some sergeant. He's just a politician. They don't have to actually know anything, do they? He also doesn't know the administration's policies on Iran. As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once said, "What difference does it make?"
Hmm, maybe picking on him isn't such a bad idea.
Students' sticker shock
NEWPORT BEACH, Scott Anderson: The Register missed it on the editorial, "Student debt and bankruptcy" [Feb. 1]. The last line gives it away: "Congress is starting to realize that students and graduates overburdened with debt need help." So it's now, "I'm from the government, and I am here to help?"
The student-debt crisis is a crisis of people not willing to take responsibility for their actions. They think that the government will bail them out. The student-debt crisis has begun to correct itself as potential students are not going to school.
Graduate school and law school admissions are falling because people cannot see the value in it. Community colleges in California are being revamped to give registration priority to students with the better GPAs and those pursuing a degree. Who would have thought?


text: Posting regarding the attempted stolen basket got me thinking. We, as a club, need to replace the broken basket in the practice area at cv. It would be great to do this before the cv open. It's the first thing people see when they arrive and it looks rather ghetto the way it is. At the minimum we should get rid of it completely. I imagine there will be some media coverage at our A tier event and we should look like we take care of our courses. What are others peeps thoughts on this??

Art and Design in the Modern Age provides an intriguing overview of The Wolfsonian's exceptional holdings and showcases the museum's collection, which spans the period 1885 to 1945. The nearly 300 works on display provide insight into the ways design has influenced and adapted to the modern world. The installation explores the many focal points of The Wolfsonian's collection, including design-reform movements, architecture, urbanism, industrial design, transportation, world's fairs, advertising, political propaganda, and labor iconography.
Inaugurated in November 1996, this ongoing exhibition is periodically updated.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
As part of an investigation of a possible bleeding disorder or blood clot (thrombotic episode); to monitor unfractionated (standard) heparin anticoagulant therapy; as part of screening before surgery or other invasive procedure
When to Get Tested?
When you have unexplained bleeding, inappropriate blood cloting, or recurrent miscarriages; when you are on standard heparin anticoagulant therapy; sometimes as part of a pre-surgical screen
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn by needle from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is a screening test that helps evaluate a person's ability to appropriately form blood clots. It measures the number of seconds it takes for a clot to form in a person's sample of blood after substances (reagents) are added. The PTT assesses the amount and the function of certain proteins called coagulation factors that are an important part of blood clot formation.
When body tissue(s) or blood vessel walls are injured, bleeding occurs and a process called hemostasis begins. Small cell fragments called platelets adhere to and then clump (aggregate) at the injury site. At the same time, a process called the coagulation cascade begins and coagulation factors are activated. Through the cascading reactions, threads called fibrin form and crosslink into a net that adheres to the injury site and stabilizes it. Along with the platelets adhering, this forms a stable blood clot to seal off injuries to blood vessels, prevents additional blood loss, and gives the damaged areas time to heal.
Each component of this hemostatic process must function properly and be present in sufficient quantity for normal blood clot formation. If there is a deficiency in one or more of these factors, or if the factors function abnormally, then a stable clot may not form and bleeding continues.
With a PTT, a person's sample is compared to a normal reference interval for clotting time. When a person's PTT takes longer than normal to clot, the PTT is considered "prolonged." A prolonged PTT may be due to a condition that decreases or creates a dysfunction in one or more coagulation factors. Less often, it may be due to a condition in which the body produces certain antibodies directed against one or more coagulation factors, affecting their function.
Sometimes a PTT may be prolonged because the person tested produces an autoantibody called an antiphospholipid antibody that interferes with the test. This type of antibody affects the results of the test because it targets substances called phospholipids that are used in the PTT. Though antiphospholipid antibodies can prolong the PTT test result, in the body they are associated with excessive clotting. A person who produces these antibodies may be at an increased risk for a blood clot. A PTT maybe used as part of an evaluation of a person with signs and symptoms of excessive clotting or antiphospholipid syndrome. (See the article on Antiphospholipid Antibodies for additional details.)
When a PTT is used to investigate bleeding or clotting episodes, it is often ordered along with a prothrombin time (PT). A health practitioner will evaluate the results of both tests to help determine the cause of bleeding or clotting episode(s).
It is now understood that coagulation tests such as the PT and PTT are based on what happens artificially in the test setting (in vitro) and thus do not necessarily reflect what actually happens in the body (in vivo). Nevertheless, they can be used to evaluate certain components of the hemostasis system. The PTT and PT tests each evaluate coagulation factors that are part of different groups of chemical reaction pathways in the cascade, called the intrinsic, extrinsic, and common pathways. (For more on this, see the article on the Coagulation Cascade.)
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed; however, a high-fat meal prior to the blood draw may interfere with the test and should be avoided.

Men's Basketball Suffers Tough Loss at Barton
January 21, 2014
WILSON, N.C. - For the third straight game, the Pfeiffer men's basketball team (4-13, 1-7 CC) shot below 38 percent from the field as they were defeated at Barton (9-8, 5-2) 83-59. Pfeiffer went 23 of 63 (36.5 percent) and hit only 2 of 11 three point attempts in the defeat. A balanced Bulldog attack overcame the Falcons as five Barton players scored in double figures, led by 15 from Brian McNair. Pfeiffer was paced by 17 from Mike Smith and 13 from AJ Clark. Sophomore center Silvere Aluko added eight points, 10 rebounds and two blocks.
Barton dominated the glass, outrebounding Pfeiffer 49-33, including 21 offensive rebounds. Barton's unselfish offense led to 22 assists on 28 made field goals.
Pfeiffer struggled from the get-go, converting on 33 percent of their first half field goals. The 25 first half points tied a season-low for points in a half as Barton took a 14 point lead into the break. Eight different Barton players scored in the first 20 minutes, led by eight from Travis McEachern.
Pfeiffer warmed up a bit in the second half, but was never able to get the game within single digits.
Barton converted on 19 of 24 attempts from the free throw line and held a 32-17 advantage in bench points. The Falcons never led in the contest.
Pfeiffer will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when they travel to Limestone for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.

Theatre Studies - B.A. and B.F.A.
|College of the Arts
|School of Theatre and Dance
Theatre Division
B141 Music and Speech
E-mail: email@example.com
Tel: 330-672-2082

|The Bachelor of Arts in theatre studies is to give students an opportunity for study in all aspects of theatre and its relationship to other liberal arts studies. This program serves students who seek a wider range of possibilities to fulfill individual creative goals, whether as theatre artists, scholars, educators, and/or contributors in related fields. Students receive thorough grounding in theatre history and theory and learn imaginative and critical thinking, the process of making theatre, and leadership skills.
The program prepares students to apply their knowledge and learned skills to career choices in the 21st century and in the process enrich their own lives in their chosen communities.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed for students who wish to specialize in a specific area of theatre or dance (dance and technology, musical theatre, dance performance or dance education) and requires successful completion of an audition or portfolio review and interview. The students must demonstrate evidence of continued growth and competency in the chosen specialty via yearly evaluations.
Design/technology fosters the artistic development of theatre designers, technicians and artisans so they can successfully enter the profession and /or its related fields. Students study both traditional theatre practices and new methods, materials and technologies in order to become flexible, dynamic and creative collaborators in theatre art. Students must demonstrate continued progress through annual portfolio reviews, course work and production responsibilities. B.F.A. design /technology students are expected to complete a significant production assignment each semester. The B.F.A. candidate is expected to develop theatre skills equal to entry-level positions in the profession or as required for admissions into Masters of Fine Arts programs.
Musical Theatre offers students interdisciplinary academic and creative experiences that prepare them to be working artists in the field of musical theatre. Students develop practical skills in music, dance and acting in conjunction with concentrated work in theory, history and liberal arts. Students must demonstrate continuing progress and are thus evaluated annually through auditions, coursework and production responsibilities. The B.F.A. candidate is expected to develop theatre, vocal and/or dance skills equal to entry-level positions in the profession or as expected for admission into Master of Fine Arts programs.
|Employment in the theater, and in other performing arts companies, is cyclical—higher in the fall and spring seasons—and concentrated in New York and other major cities with large commercial houses for musicals and touring productions. Also, many cities support established professional regional theaters that operate on a seasonal or year-round basis.
Many smaller, nonprofit professional companies, such as repertory companies, dinner theaters, and theaters affiliated with drama schools, acting conservatories, and universities, provide employment opportunities for local amateur talent and professional entertainers. Auditions typically are held in New York for many productions across the country and for shows that go on the road.
Design special exhibits and movie, television, and theater sets. May study scripts, confer with directors, and conduct research to determine appropriate architectural styles.
Dancers and choreographers worked in a variety of industries, such as public and private educational services, which includes dance studios and schools, as well as colleges and universities; food services and drinking establishments; performing arts companies, which include dance, theater, and opera companies; and amusement and recreation venues, such as casinos and theme parks.

Try to install the correct pecl_http package for the version 1 you want to use, or refer to a newer version described in the pecl package you want to install.
In my case, I want the version 1, so I issued the command:
pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/pecl_http-1.7.6.tgz
Ensure you have the latest minor versions for the pecl_http package specified at http://pecl.php.net/package/pecl_http
The documentation for pecl_http version 2 is at http://devel-m6w6.rhcloud.com/mdref/http but I warn you, the version 2 is too different, actually simple functions like http_redirect do not exist in version 2.

Somehow it got into my head to draw a sexy frog version of my wife's Everquest 2 character. Again I started with a scanned in sketch and took it a long ways further than I originally intended in photoshop...it was about then that I realized how much fun I was having with digital painting...and how much I have to learn still.
December 21st, 2006 #5
Thank you Haxxxor. I agree, my reference for the racehorse was a very small image which I sketched up quickly...I slacked off and lost focus on what I wanted to do. I am finding constraints to work under which are helping me maintain focus and dig deeper into subject.
December 21st, 2006 #6
I took what I learned from painting my sexy frog and went right to work on a huge piece. But I put a color constraint on myself because I wanted to keep it more serious. I am not sure if I succeeded in doing more than making things washed out. I have trouble with color and its something I wanted to focus on here.

This is more of a fantasy anatomical study. All my focus went to the ripper arm and when I looked up I had totally goobered up the figures torso. Colors here are hideous, I hate this piece but I put it here in hopes someone can help tell me where things went wrong. Too much to hope? Bah you guys are good!
December 21st, 2006 #9
I love drawing the female figure. I really should force myself to use references more often but this is right outta my head. I only scanned this in, I don't want to develop it further.
I am comfortable with my sketching and drawing abilities, but that doesn't mean I don't want to improve.
December 21st, 2006 #10
This is an earlier digital painting piece than what I have shown so far...I throw it in to give some perspective on where I have gone so far.
It's a fantasy landscape from my head, its very flat which I know I didn't intend when I set out. Something went wrong and I lost myself in the details to the detriment of all.
December 21st, 2006 #11
Another work in progress. I have to put dragons up there with things I love to draw. This piece is off to a good start with two of my favorite subjects. Here I want to contrast the two figures and draw the viewer into their relationship with each other.

December 22nd, 2006 #14
Here's some signatures I did...yeah more of the sexy frog. I did the coloring this time in painter rather than my usual photoshop. Painter is going to take some getting used to but I like the effects that came about with it.
The other two sigs were done in photoshop, kinda speedpainted.

I like your overall gesture poses, they have good weight and movement. your overlaping on the figure needs some work. try breaking the figure into the basic shapes with a two point perspective on them. it will help out with maintaining volume and porportion as the figure moves from foreground and background.
Thanks for the crit in my sketchbook.

Thank you for the crit, and for visiting my sketchbook.
Thats a good idea, I goobered up my spacegirls right arm where her torso is overlapping it. I can still see all the joints in my earlier versions but I lost something later on in the process.
New sketch I just started: 10 minutes into it and I can already see where I am having perspective trouble with the mech's far leg...I will concentrate on fixing this as I work this piece up.
December 22nd, 2006 #17
Thanks for the comments in my SB. Good start to your sketchbook. Improvement is a lifelong pursuit for sure. Solidity comes from understanding. Life drawing is always a good basis for that road.
And any book by Loomis; Figure work will strengthen by leaps and bounds.
There is a dragon thread somewhere in here as well, that I think is still going strong. Since the theme is of interest to you, should post some work in there.

What crazyace31 said.
Also, I get the impression that you attempt to have light and shadows diffusing into each other in a uniform gradient most of the time, even with strong light sources (as in the spaceman pic). Light doesn't work that all the time, and I think you may find it useful to try and go with discrete/sharp highlights sometimes. You might also try to use some other colors to portray volume instead of black/grey.
Hope that's relevant.

AztcFireFlower: Thank you, I agree wholeheartedly. I am on the hunt for more Loomis books. Also gotta hunt around for that dragon thread.
Jeri: Thats exactly what I am looking for! Yes I really want to develop my coloring and lighting skills. I am learning a lot just browsing through here but any pointing in the right direction is much appreciated.

just finished my flying dream image from the critique thread. I thought I would post here the steps I went through in creating this piece.
I started with very small thumbnail, establishing colors and composition.
I then scaled the thumbnail up and added more detail and such.
Scaled up again to the final size (this is the initial version I put up on the critique thread). This got me a nice paint over and some great direction which I took.
Finally I came back with a new version which incorporated crits and things I have been working on just by browsing through everyones wonderful sketchbooks

I have no idea why your thumbnail isn't showing up. Maybe it's too big? On mine I used a 100X100 thumbnail, so try that. Work on lighting the basic forms, check out Scott Robertsons lighting DVDs here thegnomonworkshop.com

Thanks a lot for commenting in my sketchbook! and good to see you starting an SB of your own, you certainly have a grasp on pencil drawing, particularly rendering, perhaps some more work on overall form and anatomy will be helpful... loomis is fantastic, however i have to say i prefer bridgeman (well in my limited experience with both), he kindof simplifies the figure into basic planes which also helps a LOT when it comes to lighting characters...
"Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life" i can't completely vouch for this book as i only ordered it the other day, but its a compilation of all his books and its cheap as on amazon for 350 pages or so (over 1000 illustrations)
it seems in a lot of your work you don't really have a specific light source. just as a study you should try doing something in pure black and white with solid shadows kinda like sin city stuff.... and keep one specific light source and direction in mind, this can make things a lot more dramatic and will also make you think of the form.
and i know sometimes just drawing from your head can be more fun, but drawing from reference will help you learn MUCH better, particularly from life (ie life drawing) but photos are good too.
one more thing you could work on is your flesh tones, they are very washed out and yellowy at the moment. possibly move more towards orangish tones, experiment! and most of all HAVE FUN!
hope this helps, keep up the cool work,

Thanks for the advice! I thought it was a good idea to do a figure study from reference...so between playing with some christmas goodies, cleaning house and going out to the movies to see "Night at the Museum" I put my nose to the screen and made this study:
Found a reference I liked - I highly recommend CharacterDesigns.com for photo references, I have seen several other artists here use them.
I started by drawing the underlying skeleton:
Finished by painting my lights and darks on top of the skeleton layer
This was good practice for me, felt good. Definitely going to do more.

heej > nice to see the process shot's off your work.
i can learn a lot from it.
and that last one did you handled well. but one question do you allway's start with some skeleton's first if you draw a gesture ?
December 27th, 2006 #28
Thanks Oma,
No, I don't usually start with a skeleton...Years ago when I had a real life drawing course in college I remember doing it as one of our exercises. Also I was given a paintover in the critique thread with a skeleton to show the anatomy issues on my painting. So I thought I would go back to that. I think it helped me a lot with my proportions and form.
It was also very helpful with this reference pic to understand how her ribs were showing and the contours of her hips as well as the alignment of her head. Even though I had a reference pic that showed me everything I needed to see, drawing a skeleton within the form helped force my hand to stick to what I was seeing.
December 29th, 2006 #29
I think I have finished this latest nude study. Here I have added color, not sampling from my reference but just using my own eye. I used several layers, colorizing my greyscale image and using it as a multiply layer then going in underneath and adding cool and warm areas to the shadows.
I am very happy with the results but at the same time uncomfortable because it appears so realistic to me. It's beyond me why that makes me uncomfortable.
December 31st, 2006 #30
Improvement on that last peice is fantastic. Definately go for that style when drawing from your head. Use skeletons/simplified shapes to knock in accurate values and proportions like that in drawings from your imagination and you're set. Keep doing what you're doing if you want photorealism. If you want realism you'll have to draw from life a lot more and figure out how to set a focus, as well as show balance and energy. The stuff i was going to say has already been voiced very well by AztcFireFlower, Jeri, and Kronos, so listen to them well! Keep it up, i can't wait to see your progress.

Cat Colon Cancer
Cat Colon Cancer
Any change that occurs in your cat's status, such as his or her personality or normal behavior pattern, is a cause for immediate investigation. Cat symptoms can vary drastically with colon cancer.
Sign and Symptoms
Colon cancer in cats is not as common as it is in dogs. For this reason, any changes in normal elimination need to be noted and referred to your vet as soon as possible. It is best to diagnose the disease as early on as possible, however it is unfortunate that most symptoms in cats do not appear until the disease has progressed further along and has become more difficult to diagnose and cure. The symptoms mimic those of several other cat colon illnesses, such as Cat Colitis.
Cats can experience Cat Constipation or alternatively have more frequent bowel movements. The movements can become painful for your cat. There can be mucus and blood in the stool as well.
These symptoms are also indicative of viral or fungal infections in cats, as well as dietary disorders. It is important to report any changes to your veterinarian.
In cats your vet will initially eliminate other potential problems. There will be a stool culture performed. Your vet will also check for blood in your cat's stool and will then proceed to do blood work and a urinalysis. If the tests and treatment are ineffective, other causes will be investigated through x-rays and biopsies.
Treatment Options
In cats colon cancer is most often treated with surgery. The use of Cat Radiation Therapy and Cat Cancer Chemotherapy have not been proven to be effective. If there is metastasis to the cat's other organs, chemotherapy may be used. Cats who have been diagnosed and treated for colon cancer rarely survive more than a year.
Home care
Both surgery and chemotherapy can cause your cat plenty of pain. Therefore your veterinarian will prescribe your cat pain medication. This medication should be administered as directed. If you can keep your cat as comfortable as possible following the treatment, then their length of recovery time can be decreased.
Try to follow Cat Palliative Cancer Care as best as possible by making sure that not only is your cat comfortable but that you also follow your veterinarian's recommendations as to your cat's new diet and their pain relief medication.
With invasive abdominal surgery, your cat may require a new memory foam pet bed for comfort as well to distribute the pressure evenly. Less pressure on the surgical area will result in less pain.

Crippen pitches Snohomish past Arlington in baseball
The Panthers needed nine innings to beat Arlington 4-3 and Crippen pitched every one of them.
"I think if I would have tried to take him out of the game, we probably would have had a wrestling match out there, because he didn't want to leave," Hammons said.
Letting the game rest with Crippen worked out just fine for Snohomish. After giving up three runs in the first inning, Crippen settled down and held the Eagles scoreless the rest of the way. In nine innings, he gave up just three hits and walked two.
"Russell didn't have his best stuff (early) and then he gradually started getting stronger and stronger and he started getting the curve ball over for strikes and the fastball towards the end (of the game) was some of the best velocity that he has had all year," Hammons said. "He really improved as the game went along."
Maybe Crippen sensed he couldn't go on pitching all night because it was his effort with the bat in the top of the ninth inning that set the stage for Snohomish's winning run. Crippen led off the inning with a triple to left-center field. He scored what proved to be the game-winning run when the next batter, Mitchell McCulley, singled to right field.
Crippen said that Arlington had been throwing him curve balls for most of the team's previous game as well as Tuesday night's game, and it is a pitch he sometimes struggles to hit. But after getting ahead in the count in the ninth, Crippen was looking for a fastball.
"I was just waiting for that fastball and kind of got it when I was ahead a little bit," Crippen said. "I thought it was a little farther than it was. I watched it a little bit and I was like, 'I should probably run.' I got out of the box a little slow, but once I realized it was dying I got over to third."
The Eagles got to Crippen in the first inning with a two-run double by Tristan Jager. Jager scored a third run later in the inning on a double steal.
The Panthers slowly chipped away at their 3-0 deficit. In the second inning, Ben Dmochowsky got Snohomish on the board with an RBI-double. The Panthers added a run in the top of the fourth inning when Crippen was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. In the top of the fifth, they tied the score on a sacrifice-fly by Haakon Lande.
Crippen pitched well for most of the game, but the defense behind him prevented Arlington from getting more than its three hits.
"(The defense) keeps us in all the games we have played this year," Hammons said. "Pitching and defense is really a strong point of this team.
Pitching as much in one game as some major leaguers do, Crippen admitted he was fatigued when it was over.
"I'm tired that's for sure," he said "The first inning was rocky obviously, but after that I kind of settled down and looked good."
The senior pitcher also verified his coach's premonition on what would have happened if he would have tried to remove Crippen from the game.
"I was not going to come out," Crippen said. "Once we hit the seventh inning and he put me back in in the eighth I was like, 'I'm not going to come out at all.' I would definitely have fought him for it, for sure. I wasn't going to get taken out."

Financial markets are by their very nature volatile and unpredictable, yet people choose to invest in the markets in the hopes of securing a healthier financial future. Given the impact financial scandals and the Great Recession have had on the reputation of professionals in the financial services industry, it is vital for professional investment advisors to maintain a principled approach to investing to create a foundation for greater stability and prosperity for their clients.
Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management strives to educate purposeful, principled leaders and to recognize the achievements of these types of individuals. Each year the Business Leader of the Year Award is presented to an honoree who embodies professional success, personal integrity, and a dedication to serving the community. Past honorees have had a vision, dedicated effort, and singular commitment to the highest ideals of business that have distinguished them and their organizations as among the very best in the nation.
Brian Rogers, chairman of the board and chief investment officer of T. Rowe Price Group, was honored in November as the 2012 Business Leader of the Year. Mr. Rogers spoke with the Sellinger School for this month's feature and discussed the characteristics of successful business leaders and the role of higher education in shaping them. He also offered advice for investing in financial markets.
In your Business Leader of the Year remarks you spoke of the ecosystem of education, success, and responsibility. Why is education a critical requirement for success in your business for both the individual and the organization?
No matter what one does in life one requires a knowledge base to perform it. Education is a prerequisite in any field to succeed. Whether one is an investor, physician, plumber, or contractor, whatever one studies is the foundation one takes into their work, which experience then molds and builds upon.
[T. Rowe Price founder] Thomas Rowe Price, Jr., said, "If you take care of your clients, your clients will take care of you." How does this statement translate into success for a business?
Management guru Peter Drucker said that the sole purpose of a corporation is to create and serve a customer. Mr. Price's quote, which is inherent in everything we do at T. Rowe Price, is another way of stating Drucker's maxim. The reason for being for any company is to perform for a customer. Business or corporate success is derived from creating a service, function, or product that someone is willing to pay for. Great businesses are built when customers derive value from what you are doing. If clients satisfy an important need from what you are offering, they are most likely to come back. Conversely, if you have little or nothing to offer, no one will be willing to pay you and your organization will ultimately fail.
Professional excellence, personal integrity, and responsibility to the community are integral components of being selected as Business Leader. Can these traits be taught? If so, how?
This question is complex and certainly harkens back to the nature vs. nurture debate.
I believe that professional excellence can be taught. Having some natural ability—a predisposition in a certain field or skill—is a prerequisite for success, but nobody grows up knowing how to build homes, analyze financial statements, or judiciously review documents. These professional skills need to be taught. One's personal interest in a particular field needs to be ingrained in the person before going forward, but the everyday skill sets must be learned through education and training.
Integrity can be learned, but it must begin to be learned at a young age. Much of it is born into you and developed when you are young. For most of us there is an innate sense of what is right and what is wrong. Lessons come from family, teachers, one's first job, and ultimately the professional workplace. An appreciation for integrity can be enhanced by education, but it all comes back down to what you learn as a child. There are myriad examples of people with outstanding educations who veered off the tracks.
A sense of responsibility is part of the natural human condition. It's inaccurate to say it matters to all 7 billion people in the world, but the vast majority of us are naturally moved to help others. We all learn from example, but one of our basic instincts is to be responsible.
What is higher education's role to play in this?
Business schools have a role to play as teachers of integrity and responsibility. Via case studies, institutions can point out that the actions of certain people—those who have gone astray, believe they can get away with things, feel their crimes are victimless, or show patterns of overconfidence—are fallible. Few criminals actually believe what they are doing is right. Most commit their crimes, financial, corporate, or otherwise, because they think they can get away with them. They develop patterns of overconfidence that cause them to ignore their value systems. Exploring case studies of post-mortem corporate crimes and ethical breaches can help students understand the consequences those actions have on businesses, lives, and families.
You are professionally successful, dedicated to your family, active in the non-profit community, and are viewed at T. Rowe Price as someone who always has time for his colleagues. How do you balance all of your commitments?
Everyone is busy. At work, the best thing one can do is to prioritize what is important and focusing on those issues and tasks first. Family, which is most important, is more difficult to prioritize because you can't practice professional triage at home. There is no magic answer to finding balance, but not getting caught up in activities that waste time is a good place to start.
Given your role at T. Rowe Price, what kind of year do you expect for the stock market?
At T. Rowe, we don't spend a lot of time attempting to make precise market forecasts. Like baseball teams heading into spring training, there is a sense of which particular teams will be good, but due to unexpected variables and events, predictions of how the year will finish rarely go according to plan. Same with the stock market. Generally speaking, at the beginning of 2013 we see the market in better shape than in 2012. The market tends to do well when the overall economy is performing decently. The market actually outperformed the economy in 2012, and I feel reasonably well that the stock market will continue to improve in 2013.
Forecasting is a probabilistic game. Over time, for every few good forecasts that are made there are many bad ones that offset them. Considering this, the likelihood of success is higher when you identify individual investments and securities as opposed to speculating on broad market forecasts.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that the most important trait for an investor is a sense of humility. Overconfidence is the investor's greatest enemy.

Northside coach Bob Eason was his usual reserved self.
After leading the Monarchs to a 21-14 victory over East Duplin on Friday night that gave Northside the East Central 2-A Conference title, Eason stood on the field with a soda in hand, displaying no emotion whatever.
A conference title and an undefeated regular season is nothing new to him.
Thanks to the victory, Northside recorded its fourth 11-0 regular-season mark in program history as well as winning its fourth
Still, this conference crown and unbeaten mark meant a lot to Eason.
"It's unexpected," he said. "When you look, we had too many guys who hadn't had a lot of playing time. We were real inexperienced … so this makes it sweeter."
This marked the second consecutive ECC title for the Monarchs (11-0, 6-0), ranked second in The Associated Press state 2-A poll. Northside now looks to advance deep in the playoffs.
The NCHSAA will release its playoff pairings today, and the Monarchs hope to have a top seed in the East bracket. Northside beat East Duplin 41-30 last year to also secure the ECC title in the regular-season finale.
"This means everything," said Northside senior Dewayne Johnson, who rushed for a pair of second-half touchdowns. "People doubted us for so long saying we wouldn't make it, but now we are undefeated. We want that ring on our finger."
And seventh-ranked East Duplin (9-2, 6-1) also wanted a conference title, although the Panthers came up short in their quest after yielding a 29-yard touchdown run to Johnson with 6:18 left in the game.
"Our guys played hard and that's all we can ask for them to do," East Duplin coach Battle Holley said. "In a tight ballgame, you can't make the mistakes we made. Hopefully we will have a good week of practice, take care of business and go from there. If we take care of business, we can play on this field in three weeks."
Trailing 14-6 at halftime, Northside rallied with a pair of long touchdown drives.
The second was an 80-yard, 13-play drive that lasted 7:42 and capped off by Johnson's 29-yard run to give the Monarchs a 21-14 lead. Northside converted on a fourth-and-short and two third downs on the drive.
"They (Panthers) can't score if they don't have the ball," Eason said. "I was just thinking we needed to score, but when it goes down like that, it certainly is nice because it puts the other team in panic mode."
East Duplin appeared ready to respond with a touchdown, but a run by the Dijon Poole on fourth-and-5 from the Northside 28-yard line was a foot short. The Monarchs got the ball back at its own 24 with 2:04 left.
The Panthers did have one final possession but turned the ball over on downs, giving the Monarchs a close win, something Northside hasn't had this season.
"I was concerned about that," Eason said.
The Northside coach was also worried about how his squad would respond facing a 14-6 deficit. However, the Monarchs opened the third quarter by getting a 49-yard touchdown run from Johnson that capped a 72-yard drive.
Courtney Piatt's pass to Trey Eason on the ensuing 2-point conversion tied the game at 14-14.
"They (Panthers) beat us in all phases of the game, defense, special teams and offense in the first half," coach Eason said. "In the second half we needed to beat them in all three phases. We were a little down at the half, but to come back and score and get the 2-point conversion, that made a huge difference."
The offenses proved to be the best defenses for the two teams.
Thanks to its two long touchdown possessions after halftime, Northside limited East Duplin to 23 second-half plays after the Panthers ran 34 in the first half.
Down 6-0 in the first quarter, East Duplin had a 16-play, 80-yard drive that lasted 8:16 and was capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Monquel Baker. Poole, who finished with 158 yards rushing on 26 carries, added a 47-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
"That's what we had to do," Holley said. "The offense had to drive and control the clock."
Conversely, the Monarchs ran 27 second-half plays, compared to 16 in the first half.
The 16 plays was somewhat misleading, however. The Panthers fumbled on the first possession of the game, resulting in a 24-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Northside's Markel Jones that made it 6-0.
The Monarchs' offense didn't see the field until 2:26 left in the first quarter.
"In the first half we didn't have the ball but three times," Eason said. "It's hard to score and get into a rhythm and do stuff. Credit East Duplin."
Yet Northside managed to get things going offensively in the second half. Johnson finished with 136 yards on 25 carries.
"The message at halftime was that we were playing soft," Johnson said. "We had to turn it up and do what we had to do to get to 11-0."
Johnson was particularly motivated not to get outdone by Poole. The two backs took turns making big runs for their teams.
"Dewayne is a tough runner," Eason said. "He got behind his fullback and ran hard."
Holley was also pleased about Poole's effort.
"Dijon is a guy who plays hard every down," he said. "He's 145 pounds but runs like he's 200. He always runs hard and gives you everything he's got."
But in the end, Johnson and the Monarchs prevailed.
"This was a good ballgame," Eason said. "I told the guys that a lot of people across the state were not playing a game that meant a whole lot except for personal pride."

"CIU's D.Min. program is enriching my life in a number of ways. The godly character of my professors, the fellowship with other D.Min. students, and the spiritual ethos of the school enrich me spiritually. The academic challenges of the D.Min. program stimulate me intellectually and teach me to think in new and exciting ways. The material that I learn is practical, making me a more competent pastor. Furthermore, I appreciate the flexibility to tailor my program to meet my needs, and the personal care that my mentor shows to me. I'm glad that the Lord led me to CIU for my D.Min. studies." - Christopher A. Johnson (D.Min. Class of 2001)
"While I served on the mission field in the former Soviet Union, I enrolled in the CIU SSM D.Min. program. The classes were practical and very helpful to me in my work in a cross-cultural setting. The interaction with fellow students who were going through similar challenges in ministry was invaluable. The professors were very competent and in most cases had been doing what we were doing for many years themselves. I really appreciated the healthy balance of practical ministry focus, academic study and peer interaction. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wishes to sharpen and advance their skills in ministry." - Robert McAlister (D.Min. Class of 2007)
"I have joy and gratitude when I think of CIU SSM. Studying there, in more depth, I met with God, understood God's plan, experienced God's love, and learned more accurately God's truths in the Bible. And I came to know how to live a life pleasing to God. I spent 6 years in my M.Div. and D. Min program of CIU. Through spiritually, theologically and missiologically well balanced professors, I learned how to evangelize, preach, serve and nurture people, and plant churches for God's glory and the extension of God's Kingdom. For the last four years, our family and fellow workers have shared the gospel with more than 500 people, planting 10 churches. CIU SSM is a very special school for people who have the burden of world mission." - Wah Rang Shin (D.Min. Class of 2004)
