PAWTUCKET — Moments after St. Raphael Academy had claimed a controversial, down-to-the-wire, stunning 15-14 triumph over Woonsocket High on Saturday afternoon, head coach Mike Sassi stood at Barry Field with his youngest daughter in his arms speaking with media types.
When asked if he would revel in the come-from-behind win in a R.I. Division II quarterfinal for at least a few hours, Sassi smiled, "I'm already done enjoying it. I'll be thinking about Cumberland on the bus ride home … It was a heckuva battle last time (early October), but they made some plays in the fourth quarter that we didn't."
Fast forward to Sunday afternoon, and Sassi – after a near four-hour meeting with his coaching staff at the Saints' Alumni & Wellness Center – expounded upon the victory and what it means to his squad.
"I did think about it on the bus; it's a sickness I have," Sassi joked. "You go back to the '07 season when we were undefeated, and we played Hendricken in the Super Bowl at Pierce (Memorial Stadium). We won that game, but I was thinking about the next game (naturally, there wasn't one).
"(The win Saturday), I stood with my team on the sideline when it was over, and I was still so intense I couldn't let it go. I started thinking about the next one.
"I'm extremely happy for the kids, especially the seniors," he continued. "You know what? I'm also happy for last year's seniors. The way we lost that game (a 29-28 triple-overtime quarterfinal loss to these same Villa Novans a season ago this same week), that was probably one of the top three toughest losses I've had in my career.
"We were the team up 13-0 at halftime, but then things slowly went downhill. This win is really satisfying, but we have a lot more work ahead."
Last November, Woonsocket surged back to claim its bid to the semifinal by way of a two-point conversion. This time, with the Saints behind 14-7 early in the fourth, junior quarterback Emmanuel Leake completed a 79-yard touchdown toss to classmate James Kelly, and Sassi's crew lined up for the PAT kick to tie it.
After Carnell Henderson's Novans had been whistled for an encroachment infraction, the officials moved the ball 1.5 yards closer, and Sassi opted for the two-point conversion to take the lead.
Fellow junior Josh Alves took the handoff off left guard and was halted just shy of the line of scrimmage, but eventually bulled his way into the end zone for the 15-14 advantage.
Woonsocket tried in vain to regain the lead.
"I could've looked either really smart or really stupid, but Josh made me look smart," Sassi offered. "There were numerous reasons I went for the 'two' there; first, our center had bounced the snap to the holder after our first TD, and, second, we were only a yard-and-a-half away. I had all the confidence in the world our offensive line would get it done.
"Josh was stopped, but he somehow pushed it in. That's one thing I'll say about that kid; when he's contacted, those legs are still driving. He got hit about a yard behind the line of scrimmage, but he was still churning. He was determined to get in the end zone.
"I really didn't think it was going to end 15-14 at that point, because we both were moving the ball," he added. "The thing I'm most proud of was our kids didn't quit down 14-0. We kept playing. We made some adjustments at halftime, and the kids seemed to understand those adjustments. We (as coaches) also let them know that this wasn't over.
"Faced with the same situation earlier in the season, I don't think we would've won this game. We've just come a long way as a team. You just can't take away from the experience (factor). We're a very young team; I like to say we're junior-based. It took us a while to figure out who we were, put a finger on what we did best.
"Early on, we were 1-2 in league (II-B) and 1-3 overall, and it was hard to figure out what our identity was because we're so young, but we were able to accelerate the learning process. We did that with repetitions, and it was a matter of the kids buying into what we were teaching them.
"The younger kids had to get used to varsity speed and learning how to be productive. They began going out and making plays."
Sassi also noted he was particularly displeased with the way his Saints started the tilt against Woonsocket. He indicated he saw his players' minds spinning.
The way he phrased it: "They were thinking, 'Oh, my God! We're in the playoffs!' They were like deer stuck in the headlights, but their confidence grew as time went on, and they discovered, 'Hey, we can play with these guys.'"
As for the next task at hand, SRA will travel to Tucker Field to take on the Clippers for the second time this season. During the initial contest – one that had been slated for Friday, Oct. 4 at Cumberland but was postponed because the new field turf there wasn't ready – the Saints dropped a 24-17 verdict at Max Read Field.
"We were up, 17-10, with about eight minutes left, but they converted a screen pass on a third-and-10, and in their own territory," he stated. "That went 'yard.' Then we got stopped and had to punt the ball, and they scored again with about 30 seconds left. They completed a long pass down the middle, and that set up their final TD.
"The good thing was we played good defense for three quarters – we had only allowed three points going into the fourth – but then we made some really bad plays," he continued. "We dropped a punt, we fumbled; we just did a bad job of respecting the ball, and that's the bottom line."
When asked if his club could manufacture a victory over the Clippers if the Saints played the same way they did against the Novans in the final half on Saturday, Sassi offered, "I don't know. It's a different team."
He also explained how well Cumberland (7-2) prepares for each game, and the fact he knows a lot about its mentor, Chris Skurka.
"Chris is an excellent coach; he was my defensive coordinator (at St. Raphael) when we won the state championship back in '07," he said. "He's also one of my better friends in the coaching world. He knows as well as anyone (regarding) how to defend my offense.
"He also knows I'm a pain in the butt to prepare for because I'm always mixing things up," he added with a chuckle. "That's one of the running jokes in our coaching fraternity. Still, Chris does a great job of readying his kids."
It's Sassi's "M.O.," refusing to yield as little information about his game plan as possible. In fact, when faced with the query, "What specifically do you think you need to do to win?" he balked.
Remaining right in character, he merely stated, "It's great to keep our season going. That's one of the reasons coaches coach and players play. Everyone wants to be in the hunt to raise a trophy at the end of the year.
"It's really that simple; we need to take care of the football. I don't think you can put your finger on any one thing. They're the defending state Division II champions, and – the way they've played (this campaign) – they deserve to be there. We're happy to be in the state semis. After all, it's better than the alternative.
"We'll see what happens."

NORFOLK - A nursing student at SUNY Canton has been nominated by Phi Theta Kappa for an eight-day trip to Australia through the International Scholar Laureate program.
Now, Megan Dean of Norfolk said, its a matter of raising $5,000 quickly for the trip to the Delegation on Nursing in Australia.
Were leaving May 26. The last payment is due for April 25, within the month, Ms. Dean said.
A mother of two who works at Massena Memorial Hospital and will be graduating from SUNY Canton with a degree in registered nursing, Ms. Dean is a member of Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society which nominated her for the trip. She had a choice between either Australia or China.
I chose Australia. This is a individual educational opportunity as well as a wonderful experience for me to view the different cultures in the health care field, she said.
What Ms. Dean said shell be particularly focusing on the differences between eastern and western medicine.
Ive been reading a few articles to educate myself before I get there. Overall Australia has more access and high level of health care. They do not have as much debt and bankruptcy because of health care bills, she said.
Ms. Dean is in a select group of 23 people who will be making the trip and meeting up in Australia. Thirteen are from the United States while 10 are from other countries.
A sample agenda provided by the International Scholar Laureate program shows plenty of health care-related topics including discussions on Understanding Australias Comprehensive Medical Environment, Challenges of a Nursing Shortage, The Art and Science of Healing and Midwifery in Australia.
There will also be visits to sites such as the University of Sydney, Universitys Simulation Labs and Clinics, and Australian health care facilities.
Ms. Dean said shell receive a couple of college credits for her experience in Australia. She said her goal is to become a successful certified nurse midwife.
But fundraising to make the trip is at the top of her list right now.
I intend on covering as much of the expense as I possible can and am already pursuing fundraising opportunities, but I will need more help. I walked around my community and handed out letters and the itinerary. Today I dropped off a letter to all the doctors and physicians. Im doing what I can, she said.
She has also met with representatives of associations she is affiliated with at SUNY Canton to see if they can provide some financial assistance.
I would greatly appreciate any donation, Ms. Dean said. No amount is too small.
Ms. Dean said the experience will allow her to bring back what she has learned to share with others.
I am looking forward to going on this educational trip and believe that I will learn many tools that I can bring back to the United States with me and share with others, she said.
Ms. Dean has set up a fundraising page where donations can be made at www.fundrazr.com/campaigns/aTh93.

International Education
Delaware Tech's International Education Program promotes international awareness and global understanding amongst students, faculty, and community members.
What is International Education at Delaware Tech?
- Study abroad programs
- Student and faculty exchanges
- Internationalization of the curriculum
- Promote opportunities for cross-cultural research and collaboration
- Hold on-campus events and opportunities for global engagement
How does it impact me?
Study abroad and cross-cultural exchange are proven ways to enhance communication, critical thinking skills, adaptability to different environments, and foreign language proficiency- all skills that can make your resume stand out to employers in this 21st century job market. Many study abroad students use the experience to create a portfolio showcasing skills they have learned. But don't take it from us – your fellow students speak for themselves!
How can I get involved?
- Participate in a study abroad or professional development program!
- Attend of volunteer for an on-campus event
- Lead or suggest a project or program in cross-cultural exchange related to your field
- Think outside the box - suggest your ideas for new and innovative ways to promote international education!
Study Abroad is a life-changing experience, giving students a special perspective on the world beyond their own borders, people of other nations, and their own life in the United States. There is no better way to learn about another country's people, language, history, economy, art and politics. Students studying abroad are enriched academically and personally and find later that four-year universities and employers look favorably on those who have enhanced their perspective by studying overseas.

Integrating Your Website With Google Gdrive or Google Gtalk, A Presentation by Babson College [October 24, 2012]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
Take advantage of the best that Google and Drupal have to offer and hear about the integration of the two platforms. We'll dive into the new Droogle and Jabber modules that integrate with Gdrive and Gtalk, respectively. In this webinar, you'll learn:
• How to make any instance of a username on your site show whether the user is online or offline within Google or Drupal, and upon clicking their username in Drupal, start a chat.
• How to let your users interact with each other for instant feedback and live chat conversation within Drupal's asynchronous forums or with Jabber — all without leaving your Drupal instance.
• How Jabber module integrates with Gtalk or any Jabber (XMPP) instant messenger service and brings your Drupal site to the next level of social interactivity, with your customers, for internal communication, to collaborate between students and other students or students and faculty.
• How the Droogle module lists all of your Gdrive documents within Drupal for easy access and facilitates the use of highly productive Gdrive tools for real-time collaboration on documents and document sharing.
Droogle and Jabber are now live at Babson College and they will share their experiences and ideas for future versions of these modules.
Janet: Hi everyone. Thank you for joining the webinar today. Today's webinar is integrating your website with Google Gdrive or Google Gtalk with James Barnett who is an architect IPSG from Babson College.
James: Hello everybody. We'll be talking about Google and Drupal and integrating with Google drive and Google Talk. I'm going to run through my slides first and then I'll show you some actual websites that in use. I'll show you some code also that add on GitHub and we will take a little tour here then answer any questions.
We have Google Drive first which we've named Droogle; it's the Droogle module on drupal.org. It got its name because there is Google module for Blackboard and I thought it's fitting to have just a sillier name for the Drupal community. It was created for Babson College and it's currently in production. It's been in production for a few months now. It pulls in all of your documents and folders for display in a site-way context within Drupal or within inorganic group.
There also can be a block on the side of your page in an organic group that shows your group's documents. We can talk about how to do it within inorganic group in a short while. Babson pulls in Google drive documents for each course. Documents are uploaded via Blackboard is the way we've chosen to do it. Then in Google drive they're existing and they're displayed in Blackboard and Drupal within a course context.
Now Babson has courses corresponding to organic groups in Drupal. The way that we do that in Google drive is we have a user corresponding to each organic group. If you have class number 001, you would have a user 001@babson, an email address that access with the Google with the same username as the course. We make sure it has a unique ID; each course has a unique ID through Babson. We use the unique Blackboard ID in fact. It just makes it possible to identify which Google drive user has the right documents for the course.
Droogle I'll show in the settings page shortly can handle that in setting up inorganic group so that it can pull the right documents. There is some automation that happens behind the scenes and Droogle provides for that. There are reset of APIs that we've developed, myself and also another woman Ellen. These guys let you do almost anything in the Google universe. You can create users, you can submit users, you can create documents if you wanted to, you can delete documents, move them around in different folders, you can share them to different documents and folders.
We chose Google and Google drive in particular because their API is so complete. We found some of the other competitors out there maybe didn't allow for sharing, things have changed in the last six months to a year. One of the competitors didn't allow sharing of documents. That meant that when you created the organic group in a class through the API in the backend, it's all automated when we have a new class. You couldn't automatically through the API share all the documents, just an automated way. That meant it was not going to be useable for us.
Google has done a great job in opening up that API to do almost anything. It is true, just to be weary that the Google API is very dynamic and they've been adding the Google drive a lot. It changes a lot and you have to be a little patient and that the code needs to be updated sometimes to take those changes into account. I try to watch the SEQ very carefully and to use it as canary in the coal mine to see if there are any problems with Droogle. It's great because then the community helps me find if I needed to change my code immediately or something.
Believe it or not they'll change the XMLs start share once in a while that Drupal sets that and it will break things a little bit, maybe Excel files aren't showing up correctly, that happened one time. I get the feeling they don't need to change things so often, but once in a while there's a snafu and I've seen it that the Excel file won't show up one day, then they'll change and then go back the way it was the day after. Usually it's very stable and it's going very very smoothly.
Google drive is an exciting thing and they've offered the ability to sync your desktop now and more offline support. We are very excited about it. Since we are very excited about it, let them have their documents wherever they go. If they go on a plane, they can have their documents offline. We have a lot of graduate students that are in industry and they're going say part time at night for their MBA and they're on the move. These are sometimes very important executives and they need their documents to go.
We love the Droogle and Gdrive combination. We are still integrating with Blackboard through that. Probably can be a different discussion set up by Blackboard. We pull the documents into Blackboard and the professors can upload the documents there. Droogle does have the ability to upload documents. We are not presently using that but the capability is there. We will go on to the next slide.
Here is Droogle in action in a site-wide context. It's just slash Droogle once it's set up and you can see all the documents there. It panels an infinite number of folders which was a bit tricky. Their XML believe it or not comes back without utilizing the next XML structure which is what it's best at and it's kind of flat list. I had to store all the memory and kind of sort it and handle that folder structure so it can handle infinite number of folders and documents within.
Here is the Droogle block in an organic group context. You can see that block in the right hand side and it pulls in all the documents into the block for the class. It's got ease of use. They can log in through Google drive, they'll have Google accounts, Google and education accounts are free. That takes that into account and we use it. They can do their documents through Google or they can have easy access and click on the link here in Drupal and you will be taken right to their documents.
It's always about ease of use and helping them find their way to the information that they need in their busy lives; so they can succeed adoption and also continue to do their jobs and to their families all of that. We have another slide here; it's just the Droogle settings page. You can define a title for the main Droogle page that's the site-wide context. You can set the username, password.
Droogle uses a CCK field for the organic group's site. You can set up a CCK field and stick it on the setting stage here. You can name the CCK machine name, field, anything you would like. Then it will show up in your organic group page on the node when you click edit, it's just regular CCK stuff and you can do the password that way as well. Or you can set a site-wide password which is useful to us. Let's say we have 500 different organic groups or classes in our case. We want to just have one master password. We can just set it all in this page right here.
Maybe it will be questions about CCK afterwards but that's maybe another seminar in itself. Basically nodes in Drupal you have the ability to dynamically add fields and you just add another field and it ends up on a forum. You can then add in the username and password on said form in the node. The organic group is essentially a node that then is related to other nodes. Basically all the nodes exist within the group and that's the organic group module which is wonderful.
Now we have Gtalk which is Google's XMPP chat. Most chats these days are using XMPP if it's at this level, the Facebook chat, if you have the Google chat, AOL and some Messenger uses XMPP. Most of the chat protocols that are very very big and popular are using XMPP. The history of the word XMPP is that it used to be called Jabber and there are some confusion as to whether or not Cisco owns the name Jabber. This protocol is now called XMPP. It's really synonymous the words XMPP and Jabber. I have the link here for the Jabber module and drupal.org.
You can read lots about XMPP online, lots of the specs on how to use it. I'm going to go over some of that too. I think it's a pretty cool underutilized protocol. The Jabber module for Drupal uses a Punjab server which is a BOSH server. It integrates with any federated XMPP jabber server. Here at Babson, we created some DNS entries, they are SRD records. It maps us to the Google talk servers. Its set to like a DNS server so that chat node, that if you're going to send a chat message to firstname.lastname@example.com it allows it to know that it's really talking to Gtalk and not a Babson hosted jabber server. You can host your own jabber server.
We just choose to integrate with Google talk in their jabber servers because then when they're in the Google universe, when they log in in Google, they can actually chat and talk to people that are in our Drupal application. We've chosen to use Google jabber servers and BOSH basically is the liaison. BOSH does a couple of things. Now there's HTML and then there's XMPP. They are different protocols. What happens is in HTML you'll hit a HTML page on the BOSH server, on the Punjab server and we haven't tested with other BOSH servers.
I do know what works with Punjab. You will do a long pull; it will talk to that BOSH server HTML page for a long time, in a long total. It means it talks to that page for a long time waiting for incoming messages, sending any messages and it hangs out there as long as it can. Then when it can't hang out there any longer, it stops and does another get. It goes to the BOSH server again to the HTML page, waits for more incoming traffic or sends any traffic that needs to go and this is what is known as the long pull. You hit that HTML page in the BOSH server. The BOSH server then sends out the information it needs in the XMPP protocol and will send it to the jabber server at Google or if you have your own jabber servers.
That's how the BOSH server works. The jabber module actually hasn't been published on Droogle.org for that long. There's 16 new right now, so has been out there a short while. It's a little bit more complicated to set up than Droogle because you need this Punjab server. It's not so hard to set up, but you have jump through a couple of more hoops. I'll give you some resources for helping you jump through those hoops. On those resources of course you can always be in touch or preferably through the SQL is a great way to talk.
Jabber is working presently adopter now for a few months. Some of the things we run into if we were showing pictures in the roaster for every user. If you have 10 classes or however many classes and it also brings in your personal contacts, if you're using pictures, you're going to want to have them more dynamically not … you don't want to have 100 pictures glued on a page if you can do without it because its glow sinks down. We started bringing in pictures dynamically when you open up your buddy list. We've done lots of trickery.
You can make Droogle API to add people automatically as buddies if you're in the same class. I don't know if you're familiar with chat but you have to confirm being a buddy. Yes I want to this person's buddy; they asked to be my friend. If you're at that time when we have it turned on, so it automatically confirms that intake. We've done some backend API calls to allow that to happen and that's incorporated in the module as well. Some things you do have to do in the back end if you want to go that far like we have.
One thing that happens at jabber is it connects securely through PHP first using a small library I wrote called the PHP Speaks XMPP. The library I put on github and there's the URL. The reason you want to Speaks XMPP and PHP first is you don't want to pass the username and password to JavaScript. It would be insecure that way. What happens is if you grab the unique RID and SID, SID is Session ID and RID, I don't remember off the top of my head what it stands for.
The unique combination of those two numbers, the RID and the SID is the equivalent of a password. What you can do is then pass the RID and SID to the JavaScript library we're using which is strophe. Strophe is a module that's been published in the web and it's been tested for quite some time. Where everything is handled that needs to happen in XMPP, in chat. You attach the RID and SID to strophe. Then you end up taking over that session. In this way it's completely secure.
What's nice about having the PHP Speaks, XMPP and JavaScript libraries is you have a large array of tools to do what you want to do. If you want to do some backend stuff with chat, I mean PHP can do that. If you want to utilize the JavaScript, you can do that. Now I'll be showing off more about these technologies in a little bit. I think they are really cool and underutilized.
I'm going to point out a book that goes into a lot of depth about XMPP. XMPP, this book points out; I think it's really interesting is you don't have to just do chat with XMPP. You can have a game. You can have tic-tac-toe, you can have any sort of game that passes information in real time back and forth. A real time drawing app, you can mimic Gdrive itself and have dynamic authoring, people authoring a document at the same time, it's really just passing information back and forth. It's a really underutilized protocol that I've really come to admire.
There's the URL for strophe here. Here's the name of the book. I actually have a spelling error here. I'll fix it when we post the slides to the web. It's a Professional XMPP. That should be XMPP not XMLL. Professional XMPP Programming with JavaScript and Jquery by Jack Motiff. Jack is very active in Google Groups. That's where he has an issue queue. He's supporting strophe and he helps support Punjab. He was very very helpful along my journey in learning all these stuff. His book is really well done. Easy to read believe it or not because it's a very complex subject. He did a great job with it. I really recommend his book. You can find him online.
Usually when he posted the Google Group's queue, that's an easily Googleable thing. You can find the XMPP, I see this strophe. If you Google strophe it says Google Groups, you will find his group very quickly. Jack will personally answer a lot of your questions and he's really been great. Here's a screenshot of Jabber. You see have apps and Drupal developing group. Usually that would be a class finance 101 or something. We have a class called Drupal Development, Apps and Drupal Development and we have Wikis in there that we use in our development shop. We have discussions there.
It's also an organic group and as a class so we can also see what students are seeing, how the software is performing. Right here you see our groups here and these are all the group members as part of our team here. You can see its green next to someone who's online and it does turn red if they choose to be busy and grey if they're just offline. Actually you see the little bubbles in the forum; there are little circles there too next to usernames. The bubbles will turn green and red anywhere that same username is used on the page.
If anywhere that a username appears on the page, we give their chat status and if you click on that little bubble, you can send a chat to that user right from that username. There's another screen here. We are actually going to redesign this to look more like Google does chat, how Facebook does chat, we saw that's how students are emphatically are used to seeing it. We are just going to give them that so there's no confusion. This utilizes in strophe and jabber out of the box.
They use the tab structure where if you have a new chat, it uses Jquery UI tabs to open up another chat window and that's what you've got with the jabber module. Whether or not we have an alternative theme public or drupal.org, I'm not sure we will see. Everything is in a theme conscious and if you choose to theme it differently, you have that ability with the jabber module. You can overwrite the look and feel.
Tips and tricks. The way that we do it so that we know if any username mentioned on the page is online or offline or busy is use the same class in the roaster as you do with the username. You use theme username. If you have the same class and say with CSS, that class dot username is green and online, then every instance of that class will show green as well. It's a pretty neat trick and you can use theme username to overwrite what your username looks like on the page and you can consult the Drupal documentation for how to use theme username. It's a great cool trick.
Breathing through my slides here. Here are some actually XMPP. I'll show you, I'm going to share my screen and I'll show you a little bit more of that. Just sharing my screen here, hold on. Here is a user online about @babson he's green. I have it in debug mode, so you can see a bit more. People are here. Let's see, I must have gone offline there for a second. You can see down below these are the XMPP messages. It's only because I commented something in here.
Here's the actual code from strophe and I stuck a consult log here so that you can see the XMPP up. Usually this is fire bug here. I have it in debug mode. You can see some of the chats messages that I sent in raw XMPP. Actually the body tag is for the jabber server only. Jabber is actually from here until that end body tag. Here it is. This is actually XMPP right here that I have. I hope you can see the blue highlighted.
To send it through BOSH as a conduit you wrap it in this body tag. I can show you here's the PHPC XMPP and I'll run you through the library. I was very frustrated using other PSP libraries out there that you, XMPP they were very very complex. I didn't see a good reason for it, for the complexity. I thought there are a few lines to code as possible and it's very easy to read. We will just look at the functions. This function here, jabber send XML, that's what just sends the XMPP through the BOSH server. Jabber gets next RID. What happens is you get a unique SID, that doesn't change, that's actually an ID. Then each message, the RID number, it's just a number. It increases by one.
You constantly have to keep incrementing that RID and if you don't get the next RID, your chat session will just disconnect. Basically it needs that incrementing RID and SID to continue the session. We are sending the XMPP just using CURL, get jabber, get RID, SID. You're sending your password, you're authenticating, you're getting your first RID and also getting your session ID.
Right here, here are some things you're going to send and its some authentication stuff right here as I've just mentioned and here's an actual message. This is what sending a message looks like. I'm going to send myself a message. I'm sending to one of my instant message accounts, my other Gmail account. This text has to load from my PHP XMPP API. That actually sends the text. That's that, it's a very simple little library I wrote so that you can get your SID and RID so you can securely authenticate and then passing that to strophe. I let strophe do most of the work because that's what we do here adopting.
If things are a commodity, you don't want to re-invent the wheel. It's just silly to re-invent the wheel of course. Also strophe has already been tested. I heard lots of people say that XMPP modules can often times really hammer the server because there's a lot of traffic. Basically I'll bring this up gain. Constantly, let's see if we can find it. Do you see this; its prowling here, this is the long pull. It's talking to the BOSH server and hanging out there. When it's done, it's going to sign up another one of this.
There is a lot of traffic. If you've got say 100 users, you've got some more messages right there. Maybe you saw that at the bottom of the screen. You constantly have the traffic and if people leave their browsers open, that's a lot of network traffic. I heard that with some other libraries or home grown things, it can handle things inefficiently and really take down a server. Like I said at the jabber module has been running successfully now for a couple of months at Babson.
We have some other performance things that we are working on but it's not because of jabber. We're trying to make things faster, fix our team up. Like I said we're dealing with these pictures, the people who'd like to see a rich theme, like a lot of pictures we're are dealing with a lot of sprites and making things faster. Luckily jabber has not bitten me from behind and it seems fairly fast.
Now that being said, if you've ever gone to Gmail and you know they have chat on their page, there is a pregnant pause as it connects to a chat, even in Google. I say it takes about an extra half second to a second and then you're on your way. It's really no slower than what Gmail has. We do have it running on every page of our site. What we do is on every page currently we just get a new RID, SID and reattach the chat. I can show you how we keep track of chat history. Jabber does keep track of chat history.
Here is the jabber cable here. Here's your current user JID. In chat JID is the unique handle that you … if you send me a chat at firstname.lastname@example.com, that's my handle and my unique identifier, that's the JID. This is your current user JID and this is your conversation partner JID. We keep track of this chat messages. Jabber will on switching pages load up that chat history up to like, I think it's like 15, 20 messages per person per chat partner. That's just to keep the continuity between the pages. If you create pages, you're like, oh you know what? Let me go to this page. I want to tell you about this page.
Let me go look to see what it says. You switch pages and you can pick up right where you left off in your chat with that person and we're hoping that's a very good experience. Feedback from our student is they are very happy to be able to collaborate right from this tool. They may start a conversation in jabber, in Drupal but then they might say, "Hey let's move to Google hangouts." Let's move to another tool or just go hang out in Google. Because they're in Drupal, they might be reading the post for their class, their forums for different classes.
They might be seeing it … you can go into Drupal and see if a professor is online. You can see if a classmate that you're collaborating with is online. We have breakout groups and people work in groups in the different classes and they can just quickly go online and see if they're online. Then if they want to go to Google, hang out, that's fine. We don't have a current plan to integrate video, but we will see what people are asking for.
Again we are not looking to re-invent the wheel. We are getting great feedback that people like to see who's available and maybe just send the teacher or classmate a quick question. We've gotten some great feedback there. I spent a lot of time with jabber and I definitely didn't talk about Drupal as much. The cool stuff with Drupal is not only pulling in the documents, but the APIs where you can … let's see if I can get … this is where I upload the stuff to drupal.org. Here at Googletest.php, I keep a lot of these things commented out.
You can create a collection, they're commented out because they only do one test at a time and I comment out the unused test. You can create through the API, just through the command line a collection which is a folder basically in Google drive. This looks like one line here and there, change permissions on a folder; you can add users, retrieve user information. It's got a very rich library that we've been able to contribute to the community. Babson has been very generous in letting us share.
Our hope is that not only will people consume this module, but maybe other people will have to contribute and I'll be happy to work with you if you want to be a co-contributor. If you want to just add patches, I love if there are patches then we can make Droogle and jabber better with everybody's help. I love hearing if there are any problems, if you have any bugs, it helps us. Sometimes the community finds the bugs before we do. We haven't had any bug reports in a while.
There are some issues with Droogle with the version of PHP. I'll be addressing that shortly. Possibly using Droogle as you say in Drupal Six. I'm a little slower in finding the Drupal Seven bugs but the Drupal Seven version, it is out there. Jabber we are using in Drupal Six and Drupal Seven. I think we are going to open things up to questions. I'm not sure Brian or Janet are listening, but …
Janet: Hi James. Yes I'm right here. We had a couple of questions coming in. I just want to announce that if anybody has any additional questions, please ask them in the Q&A tab of the WebEx that you're right now. The first question we had was a question on the Google docs' module. Does the user must have a Google account? They are asking do you have to have a Google account for the Google docs' module.
James: Yes, the answer is yes. You can have an individual account if you like and you can store your docs in your Google accounts. If you have a personal account and just have your own blog, yes you can do it that way. You'll probably be using this site-wise context and not the organic group context. Yes you can definitely do that. Or if you have a Google for business account, or Google for education account, they're really the same thing. You can do it that way as well. Yes you can do either way but you need a Google account.
Janet: Okay, great. The next one is, is there a way to use the Google docs module with files depot module?
James: I'm not familiar with the file depot module, so I can't really speak to that.
Janet: Okay. Great. That's it for questions. If anybody has any other question, could you please ask them now? All right, I guess that's it. Thank you everyone for attending. Thank you James for the great presentation. Again files and recording of the webinar will be posted to the website (acquia.com) 48 hours and we will email them out to you as well. Thank you.

By RON PATTERSON
USU extension
I moved into a house that had a couple of trees in the back yard. Let me rephrase that--there were a couple of twigs poking up from the ground that were once trees.
These two young specimens were dead�total and complete lack of life. With planning and care the story could have been different. Gardeners frequently start out with the same vigor and enthusiasm, only to be overwhelmed by the task ahead�they 'die on the vine'.
As a newlywed and a student of landscape horticulture I was ready to tackle the gardening world. My first garden was mostly a failure�a humbling experience that prepared me to learn. I have since gained some important lessons.
There are many things you can do in the spring to improve the success of your landscape. I would like to discuss three foundational things you can do to give your plants a fighting chance. The three topics I have chosen for this article are plant selection, plant location, and proper planting procedures.
Plant selection
The high Rocky Mountain desert valleys have some interesting challenges�winter, soil and water. Winters are fairly harsh, soils are quite basic, even alkali, and water is scarce or expensive. These things all combine together to limit plant selection.
Certain plants do not do well in high desert conditions.They may thrive in the mountains above us but high deserts make them sick. In addition, how much sun or shade a particular plant needs has a great influence on plant selection.
Carbon soils are referred to as heavy (mostly clay). Some plants do well in heavy soils. Plant species and varieties should be matched to the soil type. The broad soil categories are clayey, loamy, silty, or sandy. A good gardener will then determine if it is feasible to amend the soil (it takes years to build a good soil structure) or select plants that tolerate the soil type.
The most common example of choosing the wrong plant for Carbon County is the quaking aspen. Quaking aspens can handle harsh winters (they thrive in the mountains) but higher rainfall and snowfall over the centuries, in addition to higher organic matter content, have crated a different soil. Not just more moisture, the chemical make-up of the soil and water are different. Soil chemistry is difficult and expensive to alter.
Altering the environment is expensive. For many gardeners, economics and wisdom encourages the selection of plants that will do well in the given environment. Poor plant selection does help to ensure job security for county extension agents in urban areas.
Plant Location
After wisely choosing appropriate plant species and varieties a good gardener places plants in the yard according to cultural requirements.
All locations have micro-climates and physical obstacles around buildings and yards. Some areas are more exposed to prevailing winter winds, some are protected. Certain locations have more shade than others. Some locations will have reflected heat and light. Underground lines and pipes, and more obviously, overhead lines need to be considered. What is the best distance from buildings? Is there a septic system and where is it? Compacted soils may be a problem.
Heads-up gardeners will take all these things into account when deciding where to plant. Some plants should be protected from prevailing winds, especially in the winter. The upper layer of the ground is frozen and thus, the ability of plants to replace water lost to winds is severely limited.
Reflected light and/or heat can cause different problems. Plants or portions of plants can be kept from going into dormancy because of this, causing flowering, fruiting, or even winter kill complications. The summer of 2005 got quite hot just as the tomatoes were flowering and trying to set fruit. While it is normally a good practice to plant tomatoes where reflected light and heat will give them a boost on the growing season, that year the timing of the heat wave caused this normally good practice to reduce tomato production in many Carbon County gardens.
Digging into the ground creates a possible conflict with buried lines and pipes. With individual septic systems the roots of many woody plants such as willows and cottonwoods create all kinds of problems.
Trees growing into power lines are just silly. Perhaps the person who planted those trees thought to hide the ugly power lines. Ultimately, the power company will prune the tree branches away from the power lines. The end result is usually a very deformed and/or unbalanced tree. Future headaches can be avoided by keeping tall plants away from overhead power lines.
Proximity to buildings is a problem that only becomes evident as the plants try to reach their genetic potential.
One summer I worked at a nursery in Olympia, Wash. The plant life is quite different there but people behave the same way. Homeowners would buy a small container-grown rhododendron and plant it right next to the house, not considering how large it would ultimately get. Besides, it looked so lonely and pitiful planted eight or nine feet away from the house. Many rhododendrons will reach up to 15 feet in diameter and end up encroaching onto walkways and porches.
The plants most commonly treated this way in Carbon County are arborvitaes and Pfitzer junipers. Well-meaning and tender-hearted gardeners, or worse yet, the next people to buy the property, end up annually shearing these plants back just to keep them from lifting the roofs off their houses. Plants need room to grow.
It is common practice to plant trees next to a driveway or street. Some plants will tolerate these conditions. Most plants receive undue stress due to compacted ground and limited ability to absorb moisture because of paving or concrete. These growing conditions may cause problems some years down the road, after many years have been invested into that grand old tree.
Conscientious gardeners will assess the yard and even future construction or landscaping plans. Select planning areas that will most likely assure plant success, and provide pleasure and enjoyment to all who visit.
Proper Planting
After the plant and location have been selected, gardeners must consider the following questions.
How deep and far apart should they be planted? What is the proper way to handle that ball of roots? Is time of year relevant? What can you do after planting to improve your transplanting success rate?
Planting Depth
Tomatoes are the most common example of a plant that will do well if planted deeper than in the container. However, a good rule of thumb for planting depth is to plant to the same level as in the pot or container. This does not mean to dig the hole only as deep as the pot. The ideal hole is one-half again as deep as the root ball and twice the diameter of the root ball. Don't scrimp, exercise is good. Mix in some composted organic matter with the fill dirt and refill the hole to the desired depth. When planting bare-root stock determine where the soil line was before the plant was bare-rooted.
Plant Spacing
Unless a thick hedge is planned plants should have room to grow. Spacing is determined with plants in the same canopy level. Planting shrubs up close to a tree does not create a spacing problem for the tree. It may eventually create a shade problem for the shrub, but that was already covered.
The rule for spacing relates to the ultimate size of the mature plant. Do not plant any closer than 60 percent of the expected mature diameter of the plant. For example, trees that are expected to have a 20 foot canopy should not be planted any closer than 12 feet apart.
If they are planted closer (it happens in nature all the time), expect to remove the smaller or weaker plants over time (that a weaker plants over time (that also happens in nature all the time). The same 60 percent rule can apply to annual bedding plants. If soil and cultural conditions are good they will fill in and look very nice during the peak growing season.
Root Care
Handling of the root ball is critical. Many nurseries receive early-season stock bare-root. This is a perfectly acceptable way to purchase and plant perennials as long as they are planted in early spring�preferably before they break dormancy. Broken roots can be trimmed, but mostly don't disturb them. Get the plant into the ground quickly.
If the plant has already been potted it should have been potted at least 60 days prior to purchase. This will give the roots time to grow and get established so the ball doesn't crumble when the pot is removed. Please remove the pot. Even the fibrous pots create water and root barriers.
The final way to purchase perennial stock is called balled-and-burlap (b&b). These plants have been grown in the soil (just like bare-root) except when they are dug up the soil is kept with the roots. The planting hole is prepared the same as with container stock. After making sure the plant is placed correctly be sure to carefully remove the burlap. If there is a wire basket around the ball, be sure to cut and remove the basket.
Once the planting hole is prepared remove the pot. If the roots are starting to curve around the bottom of the pot they need to be redirected. If the roots are very pot-bound a sharp object sliced down the sides of the root ball will help to get the roots growing out. Older trees doing poorly have been discovered with roots wrapping around themselves. Be sure the roots will grow correctly.
A nice trick the professionals do at planting is to insert a hose with running water into the soft soil around the ball just after planting to help the soil settle around the roots. This helps to insure the roots have good contact with the soil. Subsequent waterings should be on the surface.
When to plant
Springtime is when people like to get out in the garden. They have been cooped up all winter and the warmer spring weather starts the gardener blood percolating. Flowering annuals and herbaceous (die back to the ground) perennials do well with spring planting. Care must be taken to not plant annuals too early. Be sure to plant according to hardiness season. Herbaceous perennials usually do even better when planted in the fall.
For woody perennials fall planting, after dormancy, is best. The roots will grow during the fall and spring before the vegetative growth puts a demand on them. In addition, nursery stock is generally cheaper in the fall as the plant nurseries are trying to reduce their inventory carry-over for the winter.
After-planting Care
The first season after planting, especially spring planting, make sure the plant has plenty of water but don't keep it waterlogged. If healthy woody perennials have been properly planted, not much is needed to keep them alive that first growing season. For the first year only prune out dead or damaged branches. After the roots have become established, training cuts can be made.
Fall planted tress and shrubs should be protected from marauding deer and mice. Deer damage is easy to spot�put a protective fence around the plants. Mice will girdle a tree trunk under the snow. A plastic trunk wrap is available at nurseries to help solve this problem.
The other possible first winter problem involves wind. Protect the new planting from the prevailing winter winds.
Herbaceous annuals and perennials just need adequate moisture and a balanced fertilizer, properly applied.

Has anyone help me with ideas to get more traffic to my blog? I have been writing for a few years and writing regularly and I just need some help to build up my following.
Catherine Parkinson
Hi Catherine,
If you have a facebook account you can link your blog to that site quite easily. Whenever you make a post on your blog share it on your facebook page. When I started my first blog, I simply emailed it to everyone I could think of. Also, put your blog address on your business card, stationery, or anywhere else people will see it. There's LinkedIn as well, although I've never had time to go that route.
I'm sure there are other ideas but hope this helps.
Do you sell on etsy.com?
No I don't but have been looking at it.
Hi Catherine
One of the easiest things that you can do is to comment on other people's blogs, therefore it all comes back to your blog and you.
Talk about your artwork on Facebook and always reference the url address of your blog, like this with http://JamieFingalDesigns.com/ Facebook will not bring up your current photo for your post, but you can add a photo from your picture program, or use the header from your blog.
Add your blog address to your signature on all of your e-mails
Design your blog to be easy to read, with a white or light gray background, not black. Have a 'wow' factor, upon opening, to keep people reading, and then coming back to read more. Add a gadget so people can follow you by e-mail and as a public follower.
Add visuals to every post. Artists are visual and like to look at pictures.
Hope this helps.
Jamie Fingal
Hi again. Can I tell you how much I wish my blog was in order?
Etsy is a good idea, sales are slow during the summer, that's what etsy just said in an email.
My goal is to work from home with the internet. Do you think that's possible?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb baseball team returns home this weekend wrapping up the 2012 Atlantic Sun Conference home slate as Jacksonville makes the trek to the "Music City" for the three-game set at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium in Nashville.
Following Friday night's series opener that is slated for a 6 p.m. first pitch, Lipscomb (22-26, 11-10 A-Sun) will host "Ken Dugan Day" on Saturday as the Bisons honor the former long-time coach with a pregame ceremony and the presentation of the award that is named in his honor to a current player. The game will also feature complimentary admission.
"Ken Dugan Day is always a special day," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "Coach Dugan is arguably one of the best baseball men to have ever been in our area. Anytime we have the opportunity to honor him and his family on that day from the Lipscomb family and the Lipscomb baseball family it's really important because he did a lot to influence a lot of people.
"He did a lot for baseball in the Nashville area and it's just a great time for everybody around Nashville to remember him and to be able to honor one of our players with the Ken Dugan Award. I think everybody inside of the program recognizes what kind of man Coach Dugan was and what kind of leader he was and if the Ken Dugan Award has your name on it, it's pretty special."
The series wraps up with a special Mother's Day game on Sunday with the Bisons taking the field in special jerseys commemorating the day.
"Another conference series and no matter where it's played, whether it's at home or on the road, they're always big," said Forehand. "We're in a position this year that we haven't found ourselves in the last couple of years where we can take care of our own fate by handling our business. We don't have to worry about what anybody else does.
"I felt like last weekend we had a great focus on the series and I think will be focused this weekend. It's going to be just as challenging as last week was but if we're focused, we're in charge of our own fate."
Lipscomb senior Connor Sinclair (6-3, 2.77 ERA) will make his 13th start of the season on Friday night against Jacksonville's Chris Anderson (5-3, 3.14 ERA). Saturday will see Bison southpaw junior Chris Nunn (0-2, 4.59 ERA) make just his third start of the season matching up against Dolphin junior righty Drew Woods (0-3, 4.67 ERA).
Jacksonville is scheduled to send Alex McRae (4-6, 3.03 ERA) to the bump on Sunday. Lipscomb's Sunday starter is still to be determined.
Tickets are $5 for those ages 13 and up while admission is free for those ages 12 and under. All three games of the series will be broadcast live on ASun.TV with Justin Seamon behind the microphone.

New Peter Woodbury School principal is a familiar Bedford face
BEDFORD - Peter Woodbury School's assistant principal will step up to replace outgoing Principal Ken Williams beginning July 1, the school board announced this week.
Cheryl Daley, who has been assistant principal at the elementary school for the last 11 years, will replace Williams, who is retiring after serving 25 years as the school's top administrator.
"I have some huge shoes to fill," Daley said. "But I'm walking into a very good community of parents, staff and students who are all so invested in learning."
The choice of Daley came after a four-month search conducted by a 10-member committee made up of school board members, Peter Woodbury School staff, parents and other school district administrators. Daley was one of three finalists for the job.
"We are fortunate to have someone with Mrs. Daley's experience and familiarity with Peter Woodbury School as our next principal," said SAU 25 Superintendent Tim Mayes. "She has an excellent relationship with the students and parents of Peter Woodbury School, which will facilitate a smooth transition in leadership."
Before serving as assistant principal at Peter Woodbury, Daley worked as a guidance counselor at Webster Elementary School in Manchester from 1999 to 2002. Prior to that, she worked as a guidance counselor at Prince George's County Public School in Adelphi, Md., from 1996 to 1999.
Daley, who lives in Bedford, has two children, one in kindergarten and the other in second grade.
"I'm very excited," she said. "I can't wait to get started. We're very lucky in Bedford to have a community that cares so much about learning and education."
Mayes said Daley was one of several key people involved in the school's playground project, and has served as "the point person in developing and implementing Peter Woodbury's plan to improve learning for students with disabilities."
Daley is a 1992 graduate of the University of Maine at Orono; she earned a master's degree in school counseling from Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Mass., in 1996. In 2002, she received a certificate of advanced graduate study from Bridgewater State College.
"Cheryl is a learner who collaborates with her staff, students and parents to get things accomplished," said Mayes.

CANTON The state has agreed to allow Amish homeowners to reregister for the Basic STAR exemption by mailing in a form, rather than signing up online with a computer or by telephone.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, lives in a community that is heavily populated by Amish families and is accustomed to advocating for the religious group, which shuns technology and clings to centuries-old traditions.
This week she interceded on their behalf regarding registration for the Basic STAR tax exemption through the state Department of Taxation and Finance. The STAR program provides homeowners with a $30,000 assessment reduction on their school taxes.
They have agreed to create a paper form for the Amish community, Ms. Ritchie said. They were receptive to finding another solution.
Geoffrey T. Gloak, a spokesman for the Tax Department, said assessors and county property tax directors from across the state have been notified that paper forms are now available for homeowners that dont have computers or telephones.
Were glad to provide those forms to individuals and to the local assessors, Mr. Gloak said Friday.
Those who want to write to the state Tax Department can address correspondence to: NYS Tax Department, Building 8A, WA Harriman Campus, Albany, N.Y. 12227, Attn: STAR registration.
Assessors also have the option of providing the state Tax Department with names and addresses of Amish and others who may not have computers or telephones. In those cases, letters from the state would be directly sent to those homeowners.
Some assessors have already chosen to do this, Mr. Gloak said.
Whenever possible, he encouraged people to sign up by telephone or electronically.
Handling these by mail is much more labor intensive for our department, Mr. Gloak said.
Earlier this week, a spokesman for the department said Amish would have to find someone else to telephone or use the computer for them if they objected to reregistering that way.
An Amish man who owns a home in Morristown said hes pleased the state has provided an option that better suits the religious beliefs of his community. He declined to give his name when approached in Canton on Friday morning while shopping with his wife.
Im glad they set it up so we can do it by mail, he said. This way we can continue to do things the way we have.
While most people will be asked to supply a Social Security number, the state is waiving that requirement for the Amish because they dont have them. Registration started Aug. 19 and ends Dec. 31.
The filing takes effect in 2014 and homeowners will not have to reregister every year.
Two years ago, the Amish had a similar problem when the state Tax Department wanted them to file their sales taxes electronically. Eventually, the state agreed to exempt the Amish from electronic filing and allowed them to send in their sales tax information by mail.
With an estimated 15,000 Amish living in various parts of New York state, Ms. Ritchie said the north county is not the only region affected by the states decision. Chautauqua County in Western New York has a large number of Amish families, and a growing number are moving to Oneida County and surrounding areas.
Im sure were not the only area where they were going to have problems, she said.
After the new forms are created, Ms. Ritchie said, copies will be mailed to local assessors in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties who can make them available to Amish community members.
Agri-Mark Inc., a dairy cooperative, also has agreed to provide the STAR forms to about 100 Amish farmers, Ms. Ritchie said. Several Amish dairy farmers deposit their milk in Agri-Marks bulk cooling tanks.
Well be doing some other outreach to get the word out, Ms. Ritchie said. In the Amish community theres definitely a lot of transfer of information by word of mouth.
The average homeowner saves $600 a year through the STAR program, and Ms. Ritchie said she wants to make sure Amish and non-Amish residents take the time to reregister so they dont lose out.
This is not a little thing. This is a big deal for everyone, she said.
She said Amish or others who need help reregistering for STAR can receive assistance at either of her north country offices, in the basement of Ogdensburg City Hall at 330 Ford St., Ogdensburg, or at the Dulles State Office Building, 317 Washington St., Watertown. The Ogdensburg office can be reached at 393-3024.
The Watertown number is 782-3418.

yea if you want to experience the best PC gaming experience without spending a couple grand~ go to Korea. The only downside being most games will be in foreign language and any non-Korea based games will lag due to the distance-latency (but not as much because Korea boasts one of the fastest internet on the planet)
"When it comes to the past, EVERYONE writes fiction." -Stephen King
Only thing crappy about Korean internet is that 90% of things outside of Korea is blocked. Sure, you get the best speed in the world. But you can't watch porn with that amazing speed, amongst other things. It's a double-edged sword.
My impression of Japan is that most gaming happens on hand-helds and consoles, not computers. That being said, good high-end computers aren't that expensive in Japan, and can usually be bought on a down-pay plan with really good conditions for the consumer. Also, never seen a net-cafe in Japan that don't have rigs capable of running the newest games.

Korea and Japan is game heaven.

Psychiatric Genomics
Psychiatric diseases can be devastating. They are debilitating to patients, challenging to diagnose, and tough to treat. The tremendous biological complexity underpinning these diseases is only now coming to light, thanks to genetic advances, extremely large clinical studies, and cutting-edge technologies.
At the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology, the Division of Psychiatric Genomics is dedicated to improving treatment options and care for the millions of patients affected by diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our goal is to shape the treatment of psychiatric patients in the future by using the tools of modern genomics to understand the biology and risk of developing psychiatric disease.
Our approach centers on pulling together all relevant data to build a comprehensive analysis that reveals the full biological picture of how these diseases function. We rely on the best and most innovative technologies, including DNA sequencing and advanced computational biology, to help answer these questions.
Current areas of research include: large scale genome-wide association studies; rare variant identification by next-generation sequencing; biological follow-up of candidate genes; transcriptional analysis of RNA from post-mortem human brain; and the generation and study of pathways and biology in induced pluripotent stem cells from patients.
The Psychiatric Genomics division also has an important translational component that takes new genetic advances and applies them to improved treatment for patients. Our molecular translational laboratories focus on understanding the pathobiology for each psychiatric disease, while our clinical trials conduct early-stage investigation of new treatments and tests for neuropsychiatric disorders. We will open a psychosis research clinic in the spring of 2014 to ensure that our research has a direct impact on patient care.
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental illness that affects 1 percent of the global population, including 2.4 million American adults. Symptoms include persistent auditory and visual hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia, among others. Patients today are treated with antipsychotic therapies that have seen little innovation in the last twenty years.
Scientists from the Icahn Institute's Psychiatric Genomics division recently participated in the two largest exome studies of schizophrenia to date, which served to establish critical new scientific resources for the biomedical community and demonstrated that the disorder is likely caused by far more rare genetic mutations than previously suspected. Together, these studies sequenced the genes of nearly 7,000 people in Bulgaria and Sweden to determine the genetic differences between people with schizophrenia and healthy controls.
The clinical and genetic information gathered on more than 3,000 affected individuals has produced the world's largest database on schizophrenia, a resource that will be invaluable to the biomedical community in continued efforts to elucidate factors that contribute to the disease.
The studies also highlighted the possibility of more tailored treatment for patients; with so many rare mutations at play, future treatment of schizophrenia could include grouping patients into disease subtypes to deliver therapies that would be most effective.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- At leastfourlocalCongressmen say they will donate the money they made during the shutdown to charity.
Rep. Rob Wittman of the First District of Virginia tweeted on Wednesday morning: "I will donate my salary to charity for every day the government is shut down."
He later addedin a tweet tothe Washington Post, "I will direct the dollars toward charities for those directly impacted by the shut down."
Later Wednesday morning, Congressman John K. Delaney of Maryland's 6th District sent out a press release saying that he would "donate portions of his Congressional salary received during the government shutdown to charity."
He did not specify which charity would receive the funds.
Senator Mark Warner of Virginiais donating his salary to the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund.
Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia told the WashingtonPost he will donate his pay to Wounded Warrior Project.
The Postreported on Wednesday afternoon thatat least 66 lawmakers went on the record to say they plan to donate or refuse pay earned during the shutdown (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/10/01/which-lawmakers-will-refuse-their-pay-during-the-shutdown/?hpid=z2).
CNN reported on Thrusday morning that as of "10:00 a.m., the tally showed 31 senators are donating to charity or the Treasury Department, while four are not accepting a paycheck and two are undecided."
More than 200 people have signed a Change.org petition started by a D.C. man to get Congress members to donate their pay to charity. You can see the petition here: https://www.change.org/petitions/members-of-the-113th-united-states-congress-donate-your-pay-during-the-shutdown-to-charity

One of the cornerstones of preparedness is storing food. No one argues the point of whether food is important. Maybe an argument can be found in where food is placed in the hierarchy of prepping needs, but no one will say that it does not have a place. What I have found, though, is that not too many discussions occur about where these rations will be stored.
It seems as though it is always assumed that every prepper has an extra room in the house to fill with shelves that can be neatly stacked with cans and boxes and labeled by category or a basement to do the same. I know that I, for one, have not always had these options available to me. Whether you live in a large house, a small house, an apartment or a dorm room, the need for stored food doesn't change, resulting in the need for places to store foods wherever you may live.
Some of the places that storage food may be stored regardless of the type of dwelling you live in include:
Under the bed: There is a fair amount of space under a bed which can be used for storing food instead of lost TV remotes or slippers. What makes the space under the bed even easier to use for storage is some of the specially manufactured containers that specifically fit the dimensions of the underside of the bed. These containers slide in and out easily from under the bed and make it easy to organize your food storage. The flexibility of these containers would also allow for storage foods to easily be loaded up and taken with you in the event that an evacuation were necessary. A good substitute for these containers would be shallow cardboard boxes.
Under the coffee table: The shelf under a coffee table provides additional space for storing food. This can be a great option for someone who lives in a smaller living space like a loft. Obviously, this could be an eyesore in a main living area but can easily be disguised by covering the table with a tablecloth.
Under an end table: Storing food under an end table is essentially the same as a coffee table but on a smaller scale. This can be a useful tactic in the most size-restrictive spaces like dorm rooms or military barracks.
Make your own table: This is perhaps the perfect option for those who buy storage foods in bulk. It also happens to be the one non-standard food-storage option that I have heard of the most. Foods that are in boxes are especially well-suited for this storage idea. Make a table out of food storage by stacking two boxes of food on top of each other, centering a 2-by-2 piece of plywood on top of the boxes and cover with a tablecloth.
On the closet floor: You know that space on the floor of your closet? Yep. That space below your clothes that doesn't really seem to be good for anything except for losing an occasional shoe. It can also be an ideal storage area. This area may be particularly ideal for storing long-term foods in No. 10 cans that you may get from companies like Mountain House.
On a closet shelf: The shelf in the top part of a bedroom closet is not always used. If there is open space or junk sitting on your closet shelf, it is space that most likely is being wasted. If shelf space is chosen to store food, always make sure that the shelf can support the weight of the items that are being stored on it. This is especially important to keep in mind when storing canned goods on shelving. Because of weight concerns, the top shelf of your closet might best serve as a storage area for foods such as pasta, instant potatoes, ramen noodles and other lightweight boxed foods.
In the linen closet: A linen closet can be another great storage area in the home, whether it is for linens or something else. When I lived in an apartment, there was a linen closet; but I did not have enough linen to make complete use of this area. In a situation such as this, excess space in a linen closet could be used to store food. Remember to always evaluate the amount of weight that you are thinking about placing on a shelf before you put it there to ensure that it will not cause the shelf to break or pose a safety risk.
Behind the couch: If the couch is up against the wall in your house, it is likely that you have at least 4 to 6 inches of space that most people would consider "dead" space. What can be done with this space depends on the individual piece of furniture; but it could allow for at least one row of soup cans, boxes of macaroni and cheese, jars of pasta sauce, etc. Essentially, the limit is the creativity of the person placing the food storage items behind the couch. If someone is really inclined toward engineering and is concerned about gaining quick access to these items, it could be possible to tie or tape these items together, which would allow them to be pulled out together without having to move the furniture.
Inside your luggage: Do you have luggage that sits empty in the closet for the greater part of the year? Most people do. This makes your empty luggage an ideal place to store items such as canned and/or dry goods while you are waiting for your next chance to relive the Spring Break trip you took with your friends in 1992.
Out in the open: OK, so I don't mean literally just sitting out in the open. But if there is an open space in a room, there is an opportunity to use a set of cabinets or piece of furniture as a second pantry. This can look like just an ordinary piece of furniture in the home while disguising your emergency food stores.
While places to store food for a difficult time are limited only to your imagination and the space that you live in, there are without question places in every home where foods can be stored. Once a decision has been made as to where you plan on storing your food, make sure that it is in appropriate containers. Plastic totes are a great way to keep critters out and protect food from the elements that cause it to go bad at an accelerated pace. Don't forget to annotate expiration dates and rotate storage foods so that you don't end up with a cache of useless foods. Perhaps most importantly, don't forget where you stored your food.

You may not be able to answer this since it is more of a microsoft word related question but I thought I would give it a try. I have php pages that are pulling information out of a mysql database. The user can do a search, see the results, and then export the information into word from the browser using php. Everything works as it should as far as passing "\t" and "\n" to format the file, but I need to be able to tell word (from my browser) that I need certain words to be bold.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!!
