Although my handwriting has significantly gotten worse as I type away year after year, there's still something about good old fashioned stationery that I love. I do still take notes everyday (a to-do list resides in a notebook and in the notes section of my iPhone…so there's no excuses) and a thank you card is always in order for holiday and birthday gifts. But what's better than your traditional note? A NOURISHING NOTE (and one from Chicago!)

Local Love
If budget-friendly gifts, ridiculously expensive presents or what to buy for the boys haven't done it for you, don't you worry…I'm not finished with the gift guides just yet. And because of a particularly inspiring / successful / wallet-emptying Dose Market yesterday, I thought today would be the perfect day for some local [holiday] love.
Perfect Pairings
You know when two things just go together and there's no real explanation? It just works. From fashion to food (but mostly fashion and food) let's discover life's most perfect pairings.
Fashionably Hungry
Coming off of a weekend where I consumed at least 50 different dishes in 24 hours (thank you Chicago Food + Wine Festival), I'm still in the food mood. Well, I'm always in the food mood BUT I thought I would put my two favorite things together today for the ultimate feeling myself blog post.
CCF Loves: Kit Graham
You know I love food, therefore I love food people, so it should be no surprise I'm loving on someone who wrote a book called The Gourmet Grilled Cheese Cookbook. But there's more to Kit Graham than just grilled cheese…

Understanding existing PyObjC examples</title>

Understanding existing PyObjC examples

Introduction

This tutorial is aimed primarily at people with little or no background
in ObjC and Cocoa, and it will help you to understand PyObjC programs
written by other people, such as the examples included with the distribution.
This document is actually not a true tutorial: you do not get to build anything,
only read and examine things.

It is strongly suggested that you first do the
Creating your first PyObjC application tutorial to get some hands-on
experience with PyObjC, Cocoa and especially Interface Builder.

Model-View-Controller

If you have used another GUI toolkit in the past it is essential that
you understand that Cocoa is different. For this once this isn't marketing-speak:
Cocoa is inherently different from common toolkits such as Tk, wxWindows,
Carbon, win32 and all the other popular ones. Apple's documentation explains this,
but in the introductory sections that are often quickly glanced over. It is a
good idea to refer back to Application Architecture after reading this section. If you really
want you can break out of the architecture sketched in this section, but
then you are on your own, really: Cocoa and Interface Builder really
expect you to follow this model.

Cocoa is built on the Model-View-Controller paradigm (MVC). What this means
is that the application code is going to be split into three parts:

The Model is the actual data you are manipulating, plus the operations
on it. It can be as big as a complete database engine or a scientific
simulation, or as small as a routine that multiplies one floating point
number (an amount of money in currency A) by another (the conversion
rate from currency A to currency B), as in the currency converter
application you built in the first tutorial.

The View is what the user sees on-screen, plus his or her interaction
with it.

The Controller is the glue that binds these two together. In the
currency converter example, it is the code that gets called when the user
presses the "Convert" button, whereupon it gets the data from the "amount"
and "rate" fields from the View, passes them to the Model for computation
and sends the result back to the View.

To summarize: the Model knows nothing about dialogs and buttons and such,
the View knows nothing about data and algorithms and the Controller ties it
all together. For really tiny applications, such as the currency converter,
you could do away with the Model and simply put that code right in the
Controller. MVC purists say you should not do this, and it can indeed
make your code harder to read (because the Controller will contain a mix
of algorithms and glue code), but there is no architectural reason that
stops you. If you combine the two classes it is customary to use the name
you would use for your document class, so without "Controller". Note that
MVC is not specific to Cocoa, you can use the paradigm with any GUI toolkit,
but Cocoa really steers you towards it.

You should have an MVC trio for every distinct unit of information in your
program. In case of a simple dialog-style application such as Currency Converter
you will have one such trio. Most applications, however, will have at least
two: one for the application itself and one for the "documents" the application
handles. These may be real documents (i.e. files), but they could also be more
abstract. If your application does scientific simulation and you want to be
able to open two simulation windows at the same time you should use the
document model.

The NIB file

Cocoa and Interface Builder strongly encourage you to use a NIB file
per MVC trio. Again: follow this encouragement unless you are sure what
you are doing.

This brings us to the second big difference between Cocoa and other GUI
toolkits: almost all the boilerplate code is in the NIB, and therefore
the source of Cocoa programs, especially example programs that do little
real work, will look stunningly small if you are familiar with, say,

The NIB file is not a description of dialogs and menus and buttons, as you
would get out of interface-builders for other toolkits. There, at startup
something will read the description, create the buttons and hand the finished
dialog to your code. A NIB file is more: it contains a complete set of frozen
objects, conceptually similar to a pickle in Python. You tell Interface Builder
knows about all the relevant classes in your application, the instances you
want to create from those classes, and how the classes should connect to
each other. Interface Builder the actually instantiates the classes, makes
all the connections and at that point freezes and stores the whole lot.

When your NIB is read the objects are thawed, the connections restored and
the objects get a running start. Again, this is conceptually similar
to how unpickling works.

The section above explains a lot of the strangeness in PyObjC
programs: why you don't create windows and other dialogs (they
already exist); why you shouldn't do initialization in __init__
(because it will be called at some undefined point in time, while
reading the NIB) but in awakeFromNib: in stead; why you don't
have to create and initialize the attributes that tie your
objects together (they are already tied together).

awakeFromNib: is very similar in nature to __setstate__ for
a pickled Python object, but it happens after all objects have been

This also explains why you want separate NIB files for each MVC trio:
the objects and classes in a NIB file are all unpickled together. In other
words: if you had created your document window in your application NIB
(even if you set it to "hidden" initially so it does not show up) it would
become very difficult to create a second window for a new document.

If you think about the consequences of this section for a while it will
become clear why all the boilerplate code is missing from Cocoa applications:
you don't need it. The NIB file usually contains all of the things that need to
be done for the Views objects, as is often the case with other gui-builders.
But in addition the NIB also contains a large proportion of your Model
functionality: creating the View and Controller objects and tying the
lot together.

Delegates

If you are familiar with other object-oriented GUI toolkits such as MFC
another thing to notice is that Cocoa applications often use a delegate
object where other toolkits would use a subclass. For example: it is not
common to use your own subclass in stead of NSApplication for the
main application object. In stead, NSApplication objects have a helper
called its delegate. The application object will attempt to inform
its delegate of all sorts of things happening, and the delegate implements
only the methods for the events in which it is interested.

For example, the method applicationShouldTerminate: on the delegate
is called just before the application quits, and it has a chance to return
NO if you don't want to quit just yet.

Examining a NIB file

Let us examine the final NIB of the Currency Converter tutorial with this in mind.
If you open it and look at the main window (the one with "MainMenu.nib" as
its title) and select the "Instances" pane you see six objects. Two of these
have a greyed-out name ("File's Owner" and "First Responder"): these have
been created for you by Apple. The other four are created by you. Actually:
"Main Menu" was created by Apple as a convenience, but you are free to modify
it. The "File's Owner" is either the Controller or the combined Model-Controller
object, in this case it is the application itself, an instance of NSApplication.
Because this application is not a document-based application the MVC trio
for the actual conversion window are in here too: Converter, Window and
ConverterController respectively.

Let us have a look at the ConverterController object by double clicking it.
The "MainMenu.nib" window goes to the "Classes" tab, and an info window shows up.
In the "MainMenu.nib" window the ConverterController class is selected, and
you can see it is a subclass of NSobject. Having the same name for the class
and the instance is common in Cocoa programs, the main exception being the File
Owner object.

The info window shows more information on the ConverterController class. It
should pop open to the "attributes" page. In the "Outlets" tab you see that instances
of this class have four attributes, converter, rateField, dollarField
and totalField. In any instance of ConverterController you can connect these
to other objects, as we shall see below. The "Actions" tab shows that there are two
methods convert: and invertRate:, and again you can arrange for these to
be called on instances of your ConverterController on certain events by
making connections.

So let us now look at the connections for our ConverterController instance. Select
the "Instances" tab in the main window, select ConverterController and set the info
window to show "Connections". You now see all the outlets defined in the class.
Select one, and in the lower half of the info window you will see which object it connects
to. Moreover, a blue line will also link the object representations in the main window and
in the dialog preview window.

Finding out who calls your convert: method is more difficult, though, with this view.
But, if you select the "Convert" button in the dialog you will see that its target
action will go to the ConverterController.convert: method.

Luckily there is a way to find such incoming connections without reverting to guessing.
For instance, you will be hard put to find who, if anyone, calls
ConverterController.invertRate:. The solution: go to the "MainMenu.nib" window and
look at the top of the vertical scrollbar. There are two little icons there, one with
lines and one with squares, with the squares being highlighted. Press it. The view will change
to a scrollable list with objects in the left column and an indication of connections
in the right column. You can now see our ConverterController object has four
outgoing connections (the ones we found earlier) and two incoming connections. Click
on the incoming connections icon. The view will change again and ConverterController
will probably scroll out of sight. Locate it, and see that there are two lines
going out of the ConverterController object. One goes to NSButton(Convert)
and is labeled convert:, we knew about that already. The other one goes to an
object NSMenuItem(Invert Exchange Rate) and is labeled invertRate:, so that
is where calls to invertRate: come from. And if you look at where this
NSMenuItem sits in the object hierarchy you find that it is an entry in the
"Edit" menu in the menubar.

Examining an Apple example

This section remains to be written. Contributions will be gratefully accepted:-)

that is not an option - and it takes very little additional space
you can suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
If you search the forums I think there was a hack suggested that may or may not to the job - use at your own risk

There is a way to sort of kill Faces and keep iPhoto from creating the small faces image files (and to clean them out of the library). It won't stop iPhoto from doing scans but after the first scan it's not much of a problem.
1 - open the library like this in the Finder.
2 - in the Database folder move this file to the Trash: Faces.db.
3 - close the package/folder and launch iPhoto. Close it after a moment.
4 - open the package, find the new version of the file and lock it via the Info window for the file.
5 - while viewing the contents of the package type Command+F to start a search.
6 - set the criteria of the search to: Kind is Image and Name Contains "face".
7 - select all of the files in the search results window and drag to the Trash.
8 -close the package and launch iPhoto.
You will get the faces spinning wheel as it tries to index the library the first time it's opened but it won't be able to write to the database file if you should try to add a face and won't create any new jpeg faces files. Of course make a backup of your library before trying this and no guarantee implied.

There is also the option of pressing "Pause" every time iPhoto boots up. And it seems like it should be possible to create a script which does this automatically.
The option above still results in iPhoto attempting to run the program and using huge percentages of the processor.
Old Toad Sep 15, 2011 12:42 PM
in response to Yutan Getzler
Where do you see a Pause button for iPhoto?
Yutan Getzler Sep 15, 2011 1:10 PM
in response to Old Toad
When Faces first starts chugging away [iPhoto '11 v 9.1.5 (615)] there is a "Pause" buton.
Once paused, you see essentailly the same this but the button says "Resume". You do have to find it and pause at every startup, though.
Old Toad Sep 15, 2011 5:32 PM
in response to Yutan Getzler
You're right. I wan't looking in the Faces mode. I was looking at the first window that I get when iPhoto opens.

Anderson named CCM/AHL Player of the Week
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that Albany Devils right wing Matt Anderson has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 10, 2013.
Anderson notched three goals and four assists for seven points in three games as the Devils earned three big road wins to keep pace in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt.
On Tuesday night at Connecticut, Anderson recorded a goal and two assists in regulation and converted on his attempt in the shootout as Albany defeated the Whale, 4-3. He followed that up with another three-point effort on Saturday at Syracuse, tallying a goal and two assists in the third period of the Devils' come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Crunch. And on Sunday in Binghamton, Anderson scored during another third-period comeback and was credited with a career-high nine shots on goal as Albany rallied for a 3-2 shootout victory over the Senators.
A sixth-year pro out of the University of Massachusetts, Anderson now leads Albany with 18 assists and 28 points in 43 games this season. The 2011 AHL All-Star has totaled 73 goals and 119 assists for 192 points in 318 AHL games with Albany and Chicago, and was a member of the Wolves' Calder Cup championship team in 2008. Anderson, a native of West Islip, N.Y., made his National Hockey League debut with New Jersey on Jan. 29, 2013, and has recorded one assist in two NHL games.
In recognition of his achievement, Anderson will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Devils home game.

David Lobb, a former vice president of the Aiken County Republican Party, has announced his intention to run as a write-in candidate for the S.C. House District 86 seat against incumbent Bill Taylor.
Taylor, a Republican who was first elected two years ago, is seeking a second term. Lobb is running as an independent.
Lobb said Monday that many people asked him to run as a write-in candidate, lamenting that they had no choice in the election. At first, he said no; he was not interested in running for the seat as a protest vote. Then, he evaluated his chances of winning the election and believes he has a good shot at taking the seat in the November general election.
"I am not beholden to Democrats or Republicans. I will represent all of the people, not just part of the electorate," he said. "The most important thing we need is sound judgment."
Taylor was first elected in 2010 after beating incumbent Jim Stewart in the primary. Taylor faced no Democratic opponent in the general election, but local resident Jerry Guerin challenged him as a write-in candidate. Guerin received 82 votes to Taylor's 9,007 votes.
"I welcome anybody that wants to run for public office," Taylor said. "Voters indeed deserve a choice. It is unfortunate that Mr. Lobb circumvented the political process and didn't choose to file for office in the spring so that voters could properly vet him over a period of many months."
Taylor does not believe Lobb has enough time to be a "serious candidate" for House District 86 with only 42 days left until the Nov. 6 general election.
Lobb trusts he is well-known enough in both the Republican and Democratic communities that there is name recognition.
Lobb is a 37-year veteran of the U.S. military, having retired from the Army in 2005 as a colonel serving as the senior scientific and technical intelligence officer in Europe for the Defense Intelligence Agency. He has served as the president of the Aiken County Military Officers Association and is currently serving on the S.C. Veterans Advisory Council.
Taylor is a former television reporter, anchorman and news director. For more than 30 years, he has been an entrepreneur and media consultant/critic. He also served as a consultant to the George H.W. Bush White House from 1991 to 1992. He serves as vice chairman of the Aiken County Chapter of the American Red Cross and is a member of Millbrook Baptist Church. He serves in the Aiken County Shrine Club and is also a member of the Aiken Rotary Club.

I am experiencing some issues with Netflix on Apple TV - The latest generation with all the software updates applied.
1) During playback video keeps playing but audio becomes out of sync. To fix, I would stop the playback and return to menu then play using resume.
2) Audio keeps on playing but video skips back and starts again from the start of the movie while the audio continues from wherever I was in the movie. To fix, I would stop the playback and return to menu then play using resume, the issue would appear again at random.
3) After watching at two movies today, the screen saver started by itself every two minutes. I checked the screen saver settings and it was set to two minutes, turned it off and it stopped occurring. Problem is that the screen saver should not start during video playback. I rebooted Apple TV and have not had this issues since, but in addition to issues 1-2 above, this points to some serious issues with the hardware.

In Fall 1959 the 8th grade was back at Columbian, and at Stockton we 7th graders were finally at the top of the pecking order and were given an activity period with several options for that period. Boys could choose to take home ec, girls could take shop class, we could choose the audio/video club learning to run the sound equipment and projectors in the auditorium under the guidance of Mr Hooper, or we could work on the school newspaper with Miss Betty Ann Boyson as our advisor. Like most of the boys I found the prospect of spending more time with Miss Boyson very appealing so, for me, it was the newspaper.

J.D. Power And Associates Reports: Appliance Retailers Need To Provide An Outstanding End-to-End Experience For Customers In Competitive Marketplace
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Appliance retailers need more than just a large selection of appliances or the best prices to satisfy their customers, according to the J.D. Power 2013 Appliance Retailer Satisfaction Study SM released today. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130605/LA26502LOGO)The study, now in its sixth year, measures customer satisfaction with the largest appliance retailers based on performance in six factors: sales staff and service; store facility; merchandise; price; delivery service; and installation service. The study finds that in a very competitive market, appliance retailers not only need to price match and carry a wide variety of appliance brands and models. "They also must differentiate themselves through their staff greeting and assisting customers quickly; helping them find the right appliance for their needs, and ensuring the appliance is delivered on time, in good condition and is installed properly," said Christina Cooley, director of the home improvement practice at J.D. Power. First impressions of the sales staff are lasting impressions, and they begin when customers walk through the retailer's door. Slightly more than three-fourths (76%) of customers indicate that they were greeted promptly when entering the store. This is supported by the ongoing Appliance Mystery Shopping Program that J.D. Power conducts at the same retailers included in the study, in which staff across all retailers greeted appliance shoppers in less than two minutes, on average, as they entered the store. Once salespersons make contact with a customer, it is important that they assess the customer's needs by asking specific questions in order to narrow their recommendations down to a specific product. On average, 85 percent of customers indicate that the sales staff listened carefully to their questions or concerns. The Mystery Shop Program's second quarter findings show that the needs assessment process is usually conducted through an average of six questions.

Centreville's Brown strong as Lady Tigers top Trinity, 7-4
VIDALIA — Amanda Brown churned out the best performance of the season for Centreville Academy as the Lady Tigers held on to beat Trinity Episcopal Day School 7-4 Tuesday evening.
Leading 7-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Brown was able to get the first two outs before loading the bases and walking in a run. Centreville head coach Mark Mann saw his starter was clearly gassed and brought in Braelon Bigner to get the last out. Bigner walked in one more batter before tallying a strikeout to end the game.
"We tried to take her fastball and move it in and out and change speeds," Mann said of Brown. "If you go down four to six miles per hour, it throws the batters off. So we took a little off here and there, and she was pretty successful."
The game was called after an hour and a half of play because of the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools' non-district time limit. Kailey Hutchins and Michaela Hutchins both scored on the bases-loaded walks in the sixth.
Lady Saints head coach Miranda Doughty said she was pleased with her team making the game interesting in the sixth but would still like to see better at-bats earlier in the game. She also said Brown's slower style of pitching threw her girls off.
"For some reason, we can't hit slower pitching," Doughty said. "It's been a problem all season. This is such a mental game for our girls, and they get so rattled sometimes. They have to overcome that, because they're more than capable. They just have to believe in themselves."
Centreville jumped out ahead 4-0 in the top of the first, but Trinity responded with two runs of their own in the bottom half of the frame. After that, Brown settled down for the next four innings before growing tired in the bottom of the sixth.
Meanwhile, the Lady Tigers extended their lead to 7-2 in the top of the fourth inning. A single by Macie Miley sent home Katielyn Bell, and Sydnie Lyons and Miley both scored on one of the Lady Saints' two errors in the game.
Hutchins took the loss for Trinity, giving up seven runs, five earned, on seven hits with two strikeouts. Marty Lewis pitched two scoreless frames in the fifth and sixth innings for Trinity.
With regular starter Makenzie Tarver rehabbing a knee injury she suffered in Centreville's game against Silliman Institute Aug. 27, Mann said it was huge for his team to have Brown step up like she did Tuesday evening. He said he still doesn't know when Tarver can permanently return to the rotation.
"We threw her (Monday) night (against Bowling Green), and it was the first time in two weeks she's thrown," Mann said. "She threw well, we just didn't play well behind her. She seems to be getting better."
Centreville (8-13) will play in the Adams County Christian School tournament Saturday, while Trinity (10-12) will host Wilkinson County Christian Academy Thursday.

The affordable alternative to fibre, DSL Rings delivers 400 Mb/s broadband to rural and urban communities
Calgary - 30th January 2013 - Genesis Technical Systems Corp. is demonstrating, for the first time in North America, its innovative DSL Rings®, a technology that will deliver 400 Mb/s to rural and urban Telco customers over existing copper telecommunications infrastructures, at the Rural Telecom Industry Meeting and Expo in Florida next week.
DSL Rings is an award-winning, patented, revolutionary technology that enables telecommunication companies (Telcos) to deliver superfast broadband at a fraction of the cost of fibre to the home (FTTH) or fibre to the premise (FTTP). It delivers more than enough capacity to bring very low cost triple play and quad play offers to both rural and urban areas. It can be deployed in response to customer demand and Telcos can realise pay-back within two years.
Genesis's DSL Rings rural solution can be used where distances from the exchange are a limiting factor in deploying traditional broadband methods.
"DSL Rings facilitates Telco customer acquisition, win-back and retention by offering better, faster services; more bandwidth; and a lower unit cost (per Mb/s) than current methods of delivering broadband services over copper," stated Stephen Cooke, Genesis President & CTO.
In North America alone, there are millions of people who currently do not have even the most basic 4 Mb/s service. DSL Rings supports VoIP, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, M2M, CCTV and CATV, automated meter reading, mobile network offload, femtocells, picocells, HD IPTV, video conferencing, video streaming, video on demand and 4k UHDTV. It has the potential to change the lives of millions of people through home working, cloud computing, ecommerce, distance learning, telemedicine and access to government services over the Internet. DSL Rings can be deployed in rural and urban situations with the potential for return on investment typically within 24 months following low cost, rapid deployment.
DSL Rings is generally backhaul agnostic and works with both conventional copper, using standards-based bonded DSL technology, and FTTCab, or fibre to the neighbourhood (FTTNode). It is a great alternative for FTTH or FTTP. DSL Rings can also provide backhaul for femtocells to off-load congested mobile networks.
Garry Kelman, Genesis CEO, said: "We are very pleased to be launching our DSL Rings Rural Solution at the Rural Telecom Industry Meeting in Florida and build on the success of our global launch at the Broadband World Forum last October. As a part of our rural launch we are offering attending Telcos the unique opportunity to sign up for special field trial packages. Genesis Technical Systems is passionate about enabling affordable Superfast Broadband for everyone, whether they live in rural communities or cities."
Genesis is showcasing its environmentally friendly DSL Rings rural solution, with live demonstrations at the Rural Telecom Industry Meeting Expo on stand #715 on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th of February 2013.
About Genesis Technical Systems
Genesis Technical Systems Corp. is a privately held company with multiple patents for DSL Rings, a technology that delivers Superfast Broadband at up to 400 Mb/s over existing copper telecommunications infrastructures. Genesis was founded in 2007 by telecom pioneers who believe there is a better way for telecom carriers to thrive in the rapidly changing competitive landscape.

Labour Triumph Over Channel 4/Sky Debate Format
27 Mar 2015 at 13:51
In the post below I mused as to why Ed Miliband didn't face Jeremy Paxman first and answer audience questions second, like David Cameron did. It seemed very odd that the format was different for both leaders.
I've now found out the reason. According to a souce close to the event negotiations it was very simple. The reason Milibandi went last with Paxo is because he won the toss and apparently his people insisted he went last with Paxo so audience wouldn't watch him being interviewed and then quiz him on whatever transpired. It was a Labour deal breaker apparently. In addition they were keen that any potential Miliband Paxoing wouldn't be shown in any of the News at Ten bulletins. Channel 4 and Sky weren't in any mood to argue, as it would have risked the entire event. It makes you wonder why on earth Craig Oliver at Number Ten agreed to that, though.

Massey researcher leads team to improve data reporting of meningioma treatment outcomes nationwide
A new study led by VCU Massey Cancer Center physician-researcher Leland Rogers, M.D., found that clinical trials to treat the most common primary brain tumor, meningioma, lack uniform guidelines for how physicians should determine whether treatment is effective at shrinking the tumor. The study was published in the Journal of Neurosurgery.
Massey researcher leads task force to develop first guidelines for evaluating and treating children with thyroid cancer
VCU Massey Cancer Center researcher and Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU endocrinologist Gary Francis, M.D., Ph.D., recently led a task force commissioned by the American Thyroid Association (ATA) to develop a set of guidelines for evaluating and treating children with thyroid nodules and cancer. The newly issued guidelines are the first and only set of recommendations aimed at managing patients 18 years of age and younger with thyroid tumors and will provide the best practice standards for diagnosing and treating pediatric thyroid cancer.
Advanced viral gene therapy eradicates prostate cancer in preclinical experiments
Even with the best available treatments, the median survival of patients with metastatic, hormone-refractory prostate cancer is only two to three years. Driven by the need for more effective therapies for these patients, researchers at VCU Massey Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM) have developed a unique approach that uses microscopic gas bubbles to deliver directly to the cancer a viral gene therapy in combination with an experimental drug that targets a specific gene driving the cancer's growth.
Chat on colorectal cancer
In honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, ABC News National Health hosted a Twitter chat on the subject last week with everyone from clinicians to patients providing commentary.

An expert in gastrointestinal cancers, Matin is also the medical director of community oncology and clinical research affiliations at VCU Massey Cancer Center and an associate professor in the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Palliative Care in the Department of Internal Medicine at the VCU School of Medicine.

I just upgraded my Ruby version from 1.8.7 to 1.9.2 (using RVM). So Ruby is: ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]. The app is on Rails 3.2.8. Since upgrading, I get an error regarding multi-byte characters.
I've found multiple very similar issues on stackoverflow, but none of the solutions in them worked for me:
Ruby 1.9 - invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) and invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) with Rails and Ruby 1.9 and Rails 3.1, Ruby 1.9.2-p180 and UTF-8 issues
When I start my app, and try to browse to it, I multiple errors, such as:
SyntaxError (/Users/antun/ror/parktwor3svn/app/helpers/application_helper.rb:35: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8) /Users/antun/ror/parktwor3svn/app/helpers/application_helper.rb:35: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting ']' ... States", "Afghanistan", "?land Islands", "Albania", "Algeri...
The offending code (in app/helpers/application_helper.rb) looks like this. For brevity, I've boiled it down to just the first few countries - the "Å" in "Åland Islands" is one of the characters that triggers it. When I look up that character in my editor, I get: 00c5. (There's a bunch more unicode characters in other country names).
def countries
return ["", "United States", "Afghanistan", "Åland Islands", "Albania"]
So far, I have tried adding the following to app/helpers/application_helper.rb as the very first line to fix it:
# encoding: UTF-8
# encoding: utf-8
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
None of these worked.
My config/application.rb has:
config.encoding = "utf-8"
My text editor is VIM, and when I do :set encoding on that file, it returns: "encoding=utf-8".

What was the role of the priest? What did the one making the offering have to do? What was the overarching reason for all of the offerings? Read Leviticus 10. What was Nadab and Abihu"™s failure? What does this suggest about God? What does it suggest about people and their approach to God"™s commands? Read Leviticus 16. What is the main theme of this chapter? Who"™s sin was covered? How? What do you learn about how sin is atoned for in this chapter? Read Leviticus 18-20. What is the overarching motive mentioned over and over that should move the Israelites to obedience? Prayerfully Meditate According to Leviticus, how much of life was treated as worship? What does this suggest about how God"™s people should think about life? According to Leviticus how do you know that God took public worship so seriously? What does it suggest to us about our approach to worshiping God? Read Hebrews 8-10. In what ways is Jesus the fulfillment of what you read in Leviticus? Read Matthew 5-6. In what ways is Jesus the fulfillment of what you read in Leviticus? What should the most significant effect of Leviticus be on your approach to worship this Sunday?

I make these plans in theological pencil, recognizing that God riules over every detail in both the short and long term "" I am desperate to avoid presumption (James 13-17). At the same time, I want to be wise and intentional about the life and ministry God has entrusted to me as a stewardship. So what will I do this Thursday morning in evaluation and planning. Pray. This is more than an obligatory beginning step; it is a cry to an almighty God from a desperate heart that is deeply affected by His merciful grace, seeking wisdom and leadership from the one who is all-knowing. I dare not plan without a spirit of dependency, and dependency is deepened when I humble my heart in prayer. Review my long-range goals. I base these on the providential roles I have (husband, father, pastor, etc), as well as key verses that describe God's desires for me inch of these roles. Some of my roles have been broken down into additional categories (i.e., pastor: teacher, shepherd, staff supervisor, etc.). I often find myself revising these long-term goals, seeking greater clarity insight of providential circumstances, better understanding gained through the study of Scripture, the passing of time and gaining specific experience. My aim is to to be practical in how I apply God's word in each of the roles God has blessed me. Review my annual goals. Each year I... read more Cap-Review: The Glory of God by Bret Capranica | Jul 18, 2011 | Biblical Studies, Bookreviews, Featured Articles, General Theology, Ordinary Pastor, VideoCap-Review: The Glory of God from Bret Capranica on Vimeo. An Ordinary Pastor's Brief Review of The Glory of God: Christopher W. Morgan and Robert A. Peterson have blessed the church with a helpful volume in Crossway"™s "Theology in Community" series, entitled, The Glory of God. The aim of the book is to ask and answer the question, "what does the Bible teach" about God"™s glory (20). The editors seek a two pronged attack in achieving their aim. Chapters 1-6 seek to "help us glorify God in our minds by focusing on biblical and theological truths related to his glory. Chapters 7 and 8 help us rejoice in our hearts as they illuminate how these truths about God"™s glory shape our view and approach to the church, pastoral ministry, and missions" (21). Nine different authors, all instructors at theological institutions, contribute to the volume. The audience is intended to be college and seminary students and those pastors with such training (14). The book is arranged by addressing the subject of God"™s glory historically, then from the perspective of the Old Testament, New Testament, the Synoptic Gospels/Acts/General Epistles, John"™s Gospel/Revelation, and Paul"™s Epistles. The book then contains a chapter on the overall theology of God"™s glory, and concludes with chapters on pastoral and missional implications of God"™s glory. I found the structure and arrangement of the book helpful. Moving from an historical sweep to looking at how God"™s glory is described in detail from the Old Testament through the emphases in various New Testament genre, then to a more global evaluation of the biblical material, ending with more practical implications was... read more Preparing for Sunday-Exodus 32-40 by Bret Capranica | Jul 15, 2011 | Featured Articles, Pastoral Ministry, PreachingCarefully Think This Sunday we will be finishing up with Exodus 19-40. Our focus will be from chapters 32-40. Read through these chapters and see if you can identify and write down the main idea for each of them. Read Exodus 32 again. Note carefully, who did Israel and Aaron say the golden calf represented? How does Israel"™s sin relate to any of the Ten Commandments? Chapters 25-31 and 36-40 describe the construction of the Tabernacle. Why do you think this was so important in Israel"™s life? What indications do you see in the text? Prayerfully Meditate From reading chapters 32-34, what lessons was Israel to learn about themselves and about relating to God? How would those lessons correlate to us? In what ways do we pursue idolatry as Israel did in chapter 32? How would you relate your passion for God"™s glory to Moses"™ passion for God"™s glory as seen in 33-34? Intentionally Act From what you have been seeing both last week and this week, how should Exodus be impacting your approach to worship with God"™s people each Sunday?
