The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today granted marketing approval for Cepheid's Xpert MTB/RIF Assay, making it the "first FDA-reviewed test that can simultaneously detect bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) and determine if the bacteria contain genetic markers that makes them resistant to rifampin, an important antibiotic for the treatment of TB," the agency said.
FDA said that the Sunnyvale, CA-based molecular diagnostic firm's Xpert MTB/RIF Assay is less complex to perform than previously cleared tests for TB detection. Additionally, the test can detect whether TB bacteria are rifampin-resistant within two hours, as opposed to the one- to three-month turnaround with traditional methods.
The agency reviewed Cepheid's test through the de novo classification process, through which it evaluates some low- to moderate-risk medical devices that are "not substantially equivalent to an already legally marketed device," FDA said.
"Less complex tests such as the Xpert MTB/RIF Assay can be used in more diverse settings," FDA's Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health, said in a statement. "The early and rapid detection of rifampin-resistant TB can help curb the spread of drug-resistant TB, a major public health threat."
Cepheid said its combination assay first works to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA. In specimens where such DNA is found, the test next works to detect rifampin-resistance associated mutations of the rpoB gene. The firm added that the Xpert MTB/RIF Assay was designed for use on its GeneXpert® Systems.
"Patients with multidrug-resistant TB need more intensive and prolonged therapy," the company said. According to Cepheid, "Xpert MTB/RIF will enable U.S. clinicians to significantly improve patient outcomes by providing rapid results that guide therapy decisions early in the course of disease, not six weeks later as is the case with standard laboratory methods."
In a statement, the firm's chairman and CEO John Bishop said that, "with results available to clinicians in approximately 2 hours instead of weeks, the dramatic impact of Xpert MTB/RIF on identifying TB positive patients and optimizing their drug therapy has been well documented outside of the U.S." With today's FDA marketing approval, he added, U.S. clinicians can now "leverage those same transformative results not only for the detection of TB, but also for detecting whether the strain may be multidrug-resistant, requiring more intensive drug therapy."

Halo 4 screenshots mech an impact
343 Industries has released a plethora of new Halo 4 screens to feast your eyes on.
It was confirmed earlier today that the Flood will appear in the game's multiplayer section. A mech suit was also revealed. If these screens are anything to go by, it has some serious firepower.
Halo 4's grittier feel is definitely on show. There's a darkness to the screens that we haven't seen from previous games.

Is there anyone know there is a theorem in topology which states that a compact manifold "parallelizable" with N smooth independent vector fields. must be an N-torus? and why the vector field here is parallel to manifold ?
I think you are talking about a theorem due to V.I. Arnold: you can find more details in "Mathematical methods of classical mechanics", chapter 10. Here is the statement.
Theorem: Let $M$ be a n-dimensional compact and connected manifold and let $Y_{1},...,Y_{n}$ be smooth vector fields on M, commuting each other. If, for each $ x \in M$ $ (Y_{1}(x),...,Y_{n}(x))$ is a basis of the tangent space to M at x, then M is diffeomorphic to $ \mathbf{T}^{n} $

after updating to 3.9 today the text editor is gone. I see only "Add Media" button and a square text field. Please advice.
Can you try disabling all of your plugins to see if there's a conflict? Once you've done that please clear your browsers cache and cookies, re-login and try again.
I have done it as you advised. Did not help.
Next thing to try is to temporarily switch your theme to the Twenty Fourteen theme. Once again, clear your browser cache and re-login. See if that solves it for you.
If that doesn't work can you try these instructions to see if there is a JavaScript conflict?
It could be a JavaScript issue interfering with the Visual Editor.
I'm having the same issue-- no visual editor after upgrade to 3.9
I've deactivated all plugins & switched to Twenty Fourteen-- issue persists.
I tried the browser consoles as suggested: it showed error: "TypeError: r is undefined wp-tinymce.php:9"
Not sure what that means. Remusco, did you get the same error?
Hey Bet, try downloading WordPress 3.9, unzip it and then upload all of the files to your web server, overwriting the existing files. Let us know if the problem still persists.
I downloaded 3.9 and overwrote existing files (except for wp-content-- just like a manual upgrade). No change.
I don't know how important this is, but this is a multisite install with over 55 sites, only 10 of which are affected with missing TinyMCE. Maybe that will help us narrow down the issue, since all these sites share the same core wp files.
I've tried to think about what is unique to these sites, but I can't come up with anything: They are a mix of older and newer sites, a mix of themes (I mostly use ithemes' Builder, but some of them the 10 are older, other themes), and there is no plugin active on these sites that isn't also active on an unaffected site.
Bet, can you please create a new forum thread explaining your issue in detail, including the Multisite factor. It will help us concentrate on your specific problem.
Hi, I have also updated to 3.9 today and my text editor is also gone. I have tried the suggestions above but with no luck. Has anyone got a fix for this please.
therbert1234 - Same thing. Please make your own post.
List what you've tried (you said you tried the 'above suggestions' but it really helps us if you list exactly what you tried). Make sure you've also tried the basics:
twenty fourteen. That will force your site to use it.
I have tried the following:
1. deactivated all plugins
2. cleared all cache and cookies
3. re-logged in
4. switched theme to to the Twenty Fourteen
5. re-logged in again
6. switched back to my theme
did not work
@Remusco: have you tried the suggestion to look for JavaScript errors?
This post's instructions are a little dated, but you can google more updated instructions for the browser you are using. I found more detail on the errors using Chrome than other browsers.
Hello guys I have tried all the above methods but none of them worked. Kindly resolve this as soon as possible as it is affecting my work.
@Jaidev Pandit - Same thing. Please make your own post.
List what you've tried (you said you tried the 'above suggestions' but it really helps us if you list exactly what you tried).

You know, we have very very few shootings in Seattle given our size. A lot of the cops I know attribute that to our liberal gun laws. It turns out most criminals are wary because anyone could be carrying a gun at any time.
I hate to see this kind of crap happen. I hope they catch these guys and do what's right.
@1 - I disagree. I used to live in Arizona, where it's easy to get a permit for a concealed weapon, and anyone can keep a loaded weapon on the passenger seat of their car. People there get shot all the time! Arizona has more than double the murder rate as Washington (7.2 compared to 3.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the FBI).
I attribute the comparable lack of violent crime in Seattle (and Northwest in general) to access to better weed.
Those AZ boys are all full of throat-scorching Mexi schwag, and boy are they pissed.
Come to think of it, day after day of 100+ degrees might have something to do with it too.
low crime is due to the fact that everyone is too emo from all the rain; locking themselves indoors writing horrible music for their myspace band pages.
Thanks for these vital updates Jonah. I worked nightshift at the Blood Center on 1st hill for two years, and on many mornings I'd look in the newspapers for the reporting of the recent crimes. Many nights we'd have 1, 2, sometimes 3 shootings to provide blood for, STAT. I guess it's common for a big city to have this sort of thing, and not feel the need to... you get my point, I was naive.
Hey Fnarf (Steve), I'm outta here, maybe I'll see you at the next Tullycraft show. If I don't find work in Philly, I might try Athens. Finally I got my sorta best unprocessed voice on the vox page.
cos just about every day, someone's getting shot in the city of seattle.
never had to deal with that when i lived in germany or london.
and what's the point of having armed citizenry if they're not going to ever really defend themselves against the gov't.
"never had to deal with that when i lived in germany or london."
Then you didn't watch/read the news, Mike.
KIRO-TV called this a "downtown" shooting, probably in an attempt to put more scare into folks since there really was a downtown shooting earlier in the week. I hate TV news.
people are getting shot now because its HOT outside. and there's a full moon.
I live close to this area and it seems that there are more folks hanging out on the corners. I wonder if it's related to Dino's closing and crack heads got no other place to go?
speaking of deano's closing, gameboy-
anyone read the breathy article in the capitol times ?
" "The answer would be, basically, it's had a dramatic overnight effect," Taylor said Friday by phone. "The bar closed, and all the drug dealers left. They literally vanished overnight."
And now the CD is magically called Miller Park.
Deano's is at least a mile away. Are crackheads that mobile?
That's strange since The Stranger called Deano's the "The way things ought to be."
2. Ever seen Bowling for Columbine, Steve? In Canada you can walk up and buy a gun cold turkey. Why aren't there so many shootings up there?
Your 'we have MOAR GUNS so there's more shootings' theory does not wash.
I wonder if these seemingly daily shooting have anything to do with the recent news about increased gang activities in Seattle.
And if the increased gentrification and pricing of Seattle real estate forcing poorer folks out of town in any indication, assuming the above item has merit, it's likely this increased gang activity is the product of outsiders from certain, run-down suburbs.
more like bi-weekly shootings meaning 104 a year which is not bad. not bad at all

Many comments echo my opinion. This is a hotel with tremendous potential that is being run into the ground. Although the view of the gorge and facing hillside are wonderful, there's a nice pool and the staff (although seemingly undermanned) are friendly and helpful, the rooms are awful with faded furniture, threadbare, even dirty, linens, and unkempt bathrooms. It's actually frustrating to stay because it's so obvious what it would take to make this a wonderful hotel but for whatever reason it isn't being done. Judging by the response when I asked a couple of staff why this is they get this question ALOT. With a serious renovation this is a hotel I would come back to. Otherwise, definitely no. (N.B. there really are a ton of stairs, particularly to the pool and rooms at that level and below. Clarify where you're staying.)

Will Passive WiFi Be Energy Efficient?
March 10, 2016 by Michael
Filed under Around The Net
Researchers at the University of Washington have made strides in the eternal problem of WiFi power management that could lead to power efficiencies of up to 10,000 times over conventional WiFi.
Passive WiFi, as it has been dubbed (because you can breathe it in through other people's WiFi smoke?), works just like the tech you're used to but requires a mere 10-50 microwatts of power.
Instead of having an entire WiFi network chattering at each other, Passive WiFi works by having a single beacon and with each device containing passive sensors.
The Passive WiFi web page explained: "Our experimental evaluation shows that passive WiFi transmissions can be decoded on off-the-shelf smartphones and WiFi chipsets over distances of 30-100 feet in various line-of-sight and through-the-wall scenarios."
Passive WiFi doesn't transmit anything itself, unlike a mesh system used by home automation networks like ZigBee and Z-Wave, or the forthcoming Bluetooth meshing system. It simply bounces and mirrors using a process that the students have called "backscattering" which it is claimed is 1,000 times more efficient than any of the three mesh networks.
So will we see a sudden jump in the efficiency of our mobile devices? The short answer is no. Backscattering is an entirely new concept that requires compatible chips. It's comparable to WiFi Direct, in that it's not a given that it'll work just because there's WiFi involved.
What it does mean, though, is that if the idea turns into something bigger, the limitation on the devices that could support WiFi are removed as it will mean that tiny devices could become WiFi-compatible with no discernible power drain.
But hold up, this isn't a viable alternative to conventional WiFi either. Passive WiFi currently runs at around 11Mbps, which is faster than Bluetooth, but is equal to WiFi running 802.11b (remember that?), because that's exactly what it is.
As such there'll also need to be refinement and filtering because 802.11b is a fairly inefficient protocol that can cause problems with more modern versions.
So while we're not at some impending WiFi revolution, this lab experiment paves the way for WiFi to get back in the game in terms of being an overarching one-size-fits-all protocol for the IoT era.
New Alcatel-Lucent Modem To Bring Superfast Internet To Copper
June 19, 2015 by mphillips
Filed under Consumer Electronics
Alcatel-Lucent and chipmaker Sckipio Technologies are introducing modem technology that will help make speeds of hundreds of megabit per second over copper cables a reality.
The technology that makes it possible is called g.Fast. Step by step, chipmakers and equipment manufacturers are getting it ready for large-scale commercial services that are expected to arrive next year.
After getting the network equipment to work, vendors are increasingly focusing on the modems.
Alcatel-Lucent has launched the 7368 ISAM residential gateway, which uses g.Fast and 802.11ac to offer speeds surpassing 750Mbps, the company said. The product has four Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB 3.0 ports. It can also be used to deliver broadband over VDSL2. The thinking is that operators can offer VDSL2 today and then upgrade to G.fast.
Sckipio, meanwhile, has announced a new line of G.fast reference designs to support G.fast modems inside an SFP (small form-factor pluggable) module. This approach lets modem manufacturers develop products that aren't tied to one access technology, and also makes upgrades easier. Sckipio has also developed a reference design for an affordable modem.
Neither company offered any details on pricing and shipping.
The speed increase offered by g.Fast is needed for applications such as streaming 4K video (and in the future, 8K video), IPTV, cloud-based storage, and HD video calls. At the International CES trade show in January, Sckipio demonstrated G.fast's ability to carry 4K TV.
Operators backing g.Fast include British Telecom, Telekom Austria and Swisscom.
Super Fast Public Wi-Fi Coming Soon
May 13, 2015 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
Wireless hotspots that can deliver hundreds of megabits per second in real-world bandwidth will be more prevalent as operators increase their investments in Wi-Fi networks.
A range of fixed, cable and mobile operators have started or are planning upgrades to 802.11ac, the fastest Wi-Fi technology yet, according to market research company IHS. By this time next year, a noticeable number of hotspots will use it, said research director Richard Webb, who is conducting a survey to pinpoint operator plans.
Overall operator spending on Wi-Fi networks in 2015 is expected to increase by 88 percent year-on-year.
Networks based on 802.11ac are faster because of features such as MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) and beamforming. MIMO uses multiple antennas at the same time to increase data speeds, while beamforming aims the signal at the user to improve performance.
British Telecom and Boingo Wireless have already started to upgrade. There is a drive toward 802.11ac as public venues upgrade and get more serious about the role of Wi-Fi in their networks, according to Boingo. It has upgraded hotspots at airports, while BT has focused on hotels. For example, London hotels Every Piccadilly and Amba Charing Cross offer expected speeds of 196Mbps and 175Mbps using BT technology, according to Hotelwifitest.com.
The actual speeds that users get depend on a number of factors, including distance to the access point, the number of users on the network, and the number of antennas in their smartphone, tablet or laptop.
However, the upgrade to 802.11ac isn't just about higher speeds.
The so-called Wave 2 of the technology adds a feature called multiuser-MIMO, which will help remove bottlenecks by allowing networks to transmit data to many users simultaneously instead of just one at a time. Public hotspots have the most to gain from using MU-MIMO, because they handle more users than home networks and a majority of enterprise WLANs. However, for MU-MIMO to work, networks as well as clients have to be upgraded.
Ruckus Wireless is seeing growing interest for 802.11ac. It was, along with Cisco Systems and Huawei Technologies, one of the biggest vendors of carrier Wi-Fi equipment last year, according to IHS. Some mobile operators and cable operators have already certified its newer equipment for deployment, while others are still in the process of doing that, Ruckus said.
Google Ordered To Pay $660K For Offering Free Google Maps
February 2, 2012 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
A Paris Court earlier this week ordered Google France and its parent company Google to pay plaintiff Bottin Cartographes 500,000 euros (about $660,000) for providing its free mapping services to companies across the country. The court also required Google to pay a 15,000 euro fine for its practice.
"We proved the illegality of (Google's) strategy to remove its competitors," Jean-David Scemmama, attorney for Bottin Cartographes, a company that provides mapping services to the enterprise, told the AFP in an interview earlier this week. "The court recognized the unfair and abusive character of the methods used and allocated Bottin Cartographes all it claimed. This is the first time Google has been convicted for its Google Maps application."
According to Scemmama, Bottin has been arguing its case against Google for two years, claiming the search giant was engaging in anticompetitive practices by using its free service to take control over the online-mapping industry.
In a statement to the AFP, Google said that it will appeal the court's decision, adding that Google Maps is still facing competition in that market.
Late last year, Google Maps also came under fire in the U.S., after British Telecom filed a lawsuit against the search giant in a Delaware District Court, claiming the mapping service violates patents it holds related to navigation information.
British Telecom Files Lawsuit Against Google
December 19, 2011 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
British Telecommunications has filed a civil lawsuit in a Delaware court alleging that some Google products and services including Android, and its search, music, map, and location-based advertising infringe several of its patents.
The British company entered a request last Thursday before the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for an injunction against Google, as well as unspecified damages, which could be tripled if proven that Google's alleged infringement of the patents was willful and deliberate. BT has also asked for a trial by jury.
The BT patents said to have been infringed include service provision system for communication networks, navigation information system, storage and retrieval of location based information in a distributed network of data storage devices, telecommunications apparatus and method, and communications node for providing network based information services.
Google Music and Android were cited by BT as examples of Google's violation of U.S. Patent No. 6,151,309 for service provision system for communication networks, also referred to in the suit as the Busuioc patent. This patent is "directed to systems and methods for accessing content in a mobile environment where network constraints vary across networks".
Intellectual property analyst Florian Mueller wrote in his blog that with so many major patent holders asserting their rights, obligations to pay royalties may force Google to change its Android licensing model and pass royalties on to device makers. Android is at the center of a number of patent disputes involving large companies including Oracle and Apple.
Google was not immediately available for comment on the suit.
Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 will broadcast U-verse live TV
October 11, 2010 by mphillips
Filed under Consumer Electronics
AT&T confirmed today that Microsoft's Xbox 360 will serve as a set-top box for AT&T's U-verse broadband TV service. Although the news about the Xbox 360 had been rumored several times before
AT&T also said that it will be able to use Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 mobile phones to display U-Verse movies and access broadband service accounts. U-verse uses your telephone line to deliver broadband connectivity, much like a digital subscriber line (DSL). It can also deliver live or pre-recorded movie and TV show programming over the same connection, using Microsoft's IPTV software.
In 2007, Bill Gates announced with great fanfare at the Consumer Electronics Show that you would be able to use your Xbox 360 as a set-top box of the company's Microsoft TV IPTV platform. That meant that phone companies such as AT&T would be able to use the Xbox 360 to deliver TV services over broadband networks, cutting into the monopoly of cable TV companies. British Telecom rolled out the first IPTV over the Xbox 360 in 2008.
Now it will happen in the U.S. for the first time. AT&T's U-verse TV and web service will be able to use the Xbox 360 as a set-top box. Customers of AT&T U-verse will be able to get access to this feature on Oct. 15. Then the actual consumer use of that feature will be activated on Nov. 7.
To use the Xbox 360 as a set-top box, you have to have a version with a hard disk drive. Then the Xbox 360 essentially becomes a receiver for U-Verse TV programming. The web-connected Xbox 360 receives the cable TV-like programming over your U-Verse telephone broadband line and then the Xbox 360 displays the show on your TV. With this solution, you don't have to pay AT&T to rent a set-top box for a monthly fee. But you do have to pay $99 for a kit.
For homes that are in U-verse territory, you can get U-verse subscription TV and internet service without having to get a set-top box. Consumers will now be able to watch U-verse's live TV service on the Xbox 360. U-verse will also release a mobile app on Nov. 7 to make U-verse TV shows available on Windows Phone 7 devices. That will enable U-verse programming to be available nationwide. If you have U-verse service, the programming is free. For those who don't have it, the subscription fee is $9.99 a month for mobile access.

I'm extremely sorry to post such an embarrassingly newbish question, but I haven't mucked around much with C++ since my college days and I think at some point I drank all that I knew about pointers and C++ strings right out of my head. Basically, I'm creating a C++ console app (a roguelike, to be precise) with PDCurses to handle output. I want to display dynamic strings (something that I figure would be pretty useful in a dynamic game, heh) but mvaddstr() keeps throwing me errors. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
string vers = "v. ";
vers += maj_vers;// + 48;
vers += ".";
vers += min_vers;// + 48;
vers += ".";
vers += patch_vers;// + 48;
char *pvers = vers.c_str();
mvaddstr(5,17, pvers);
Of course, this gives me an "Invalid conversion from
const char*' tochar*'" error on the char *pvers definition. I know I'm doing something really brazenly, stupidly wrong here but I'm really rusty on this. Any help would be super helpful.

I used this recipe just for the dough and made my own pizza sauce and fillings. Please note the quantity of plain flour is totally wrong! I initially used 1/2 cup like the recipe states but it made a runny batter not a dough.... I added another 1/2 cup to make a sticky dough, and then probably another 1/2 whilst i was kneading it in order to get the right doughiness. I would suggest using 1 1/2 cups plain flour from the start. Whilst having a great texture and fluffiness it didnt have an awful lot of flavour, so next time I'll add a generous pinch of salt or two.

Media Reports & Press Releases
Several recent BCSC papers contributed to the recent ACS guideline changes regarding breast cancer screening recommendations. A sample of the news coverage is below:
A BCSC publication lead by Karla Kerlikowske (Kerlikowske K, et al. "Identifying Women with Dense Breasts at High Risk of Interval Cancers." Ann Intern Med. 2015 May 19;162(10):673-81. PMID: 25984843 [View Abstract]) received wide news attention and was the third most emailed story in the New York Times. The study concluded that breast density should not be the sole criterion for identifying women who should receive counseling about supplemental imaging. Breast cancer risk combined with breast density categories can identify women for whom supplemental imaging discussions are most appropriate.
Read about it:
Diana Miglioretti's publication, "Criteria for identifying radiologists with acceptable screening mammography interpretive performance on basis of multiple performance measures" was featured in the April issue of AuntMinnie.
Casey Luce's blogpost, "New breast cancer risk calculator factors in density" was featured in the Group Health Research Institute's "Healthy Findings" blog.
Group Health "In the News" highlighted a recent BCSC publication: How can radiologists detect breast cancer more accurately? (October, 2014)
Dr. Buist discusses the above topic as part of a podcast in the November 2014 issue of Radiology, "Effect of Work-Up Volume on Performance".
Dr. Buist was also interviewed for the following article in HealthDay (syndicated in Medical Xpress, etc.), Oct 29, 2014, "Better radiologist performance on own recalled screens".
The October 2014 version of NCI's Spotlight on Applied Research featured a write-up on the BCSC as a collaborative research network supported by HSEB: NCI Spotlight on Applied Research, October 28, 2014.
Each year, the American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) votes on the 16 highest ranked abstracts, which are published in the March issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention (CEBP). Two BCSC-related papers were selected as the top abstracts:
Several news releases and outlets highlighted Karen Wernli's recent BCSC publication in JAMA Internal Medicine. Samples are listed below:
The January 2014 version of NCI's Spotlight on Applied Research featured several recent BCSC findings including Dr. Wernli's:
American College of Radiology (ACR) BI-RADS Atlas (5th edition)
Group Health "In the News" highlighted a newly funded grant which will use BCSC Research Resource data: Group Health wins two PCORI awards for patient-centered research Breast cancer study and new national data network receive funding. (October, 2013).

Does anybody know any type of system lockdown/parental control software that will work for networked machines, with users that may or may have not already setup an account on the local machine?
I'm working for a relatively large public department and I need to prevent most importantly internet access to all but only a few websites. As a plus, I would also like to restrict the machine to specific applications.
I tried installing Microsoft Family Safety, however I think you have to manually set it up for the accounts that have already logged in on the machine it's being installed on and the problem is all of our machines are networked and we have many users via Active Directory.
Currently we use "Fortres 101" / "Fortres Grand", but it's not practical and it causes far too many problems, it's also a demo/trial version. We're using a mix of Windows XP & Windows 7, but if it works with just Windows 7 that's cool too.

When posting your content on social sites like Facebook, you've probably wondered about how Facebook chooses the image and summary to include in your links. This is thanks to the Open Graph Protocol.
The Open Graph Protocol allows richer, more attractive social sharing of your site's or blog's content by giving you the power to dictate the title, image, summary, and URL that will come out whenever your posts are shared in Facebook. This is very important if you want to take full control of your online marketing campaigns.

Re: SIFF is for lovers
I second the hearty commendations to SIFF for leading with the Miranda July feature. Not only is Me and You and Everyone We Know an infinitely more exciting movie (and title) than The Notebook (the 2004 opener) or Valentín (2003), but it also seems to indicate a promising change of direction—or at least tone—for the festival.
My favorite Miranda July work ever wasn't film, though, it was a sound installation in an elevator at the Whitney Biennial. My friend Hillary and I rode up and down, listening and giggling while all the stony artstar wannabes got off on their floor and never looked back. I also liked her Learning to Love You More website, at least until her assistant rejected one of my contributions for being too "creative." There's a photograph of me up still. It's assignment 23, by Caroline Dombrowski.

I have a simple form, with two DateTimePicker-controls: One for date, and one for time. The thing is these two controls are supposed to represent a single point in time. Hence I would like to "Bind" them to a single DateTime property on my form (for simplicity). I did the following:
// Start is a DateTime property on the form
_StartDate.DataBindings.Add("Value", this, "Start");
_StartTime.DataBindings.Add("Value", this, "Start");
But hooking into "ValueChanged" event, yields mixed results... Sometimes I get exactly what I want, sometimes the updates of the property are "sluggish". I figured this way of splitting into two DateTimePicker's was fairly common. So how to do it?
Update: There is possibly multiple questions in there:
- How do I bind a DateTimePicker (Format: Date) to a DateTime Property on a form?
- Then, how do I bind yet another DateTimePicker (Format: Time) to the same property?
- I'm using Visual Studio Express 2008 (.NET 3.5), and I seemingly get ValueChanged events from the DateTimePickers before the value is changed?

Iguodala split two defenders and threw down a ferocious dunk over Pierce to draw the foul. He made his first free throw after missing his first four and the Sixers led by five.
Pierce led the parade to the line for the Boston. He made his first 11 attempts for a Celtics team that was 17 for 17 through three quarters. The Celtics made only 19 field goals through three.
"We've got to move the ball and continue to play the defense that we've been playing," Pierce said.
The Sixers also couldn't find their way from the 3-point line and missed their first six attempts until Iguodala nailed one for a 58-52 lead.
Garnett caught some heat after calling Philly fans "fair weather" after Game 5 in Boston.
Well, the forecast called for thunderous cheers after Iguodala buried his 3.
That helped the Sixers take a 60-56 lead into the fourth and put them 12 minutes away from Game 7.
This time, the Sixers weren't blowing a lead.
Turner, who never met a clutch attempt he didn't like, went right-to-left on a drive down the lane for a nine-point lead. The 6-foot-4 Holiday brushed off the 4-inch difference and went high over Garnett for a one-handed bucket and an 11-point lead.
"Someone else was talking bad about our fans, so it was good to get this victory for them," Brand said.
While the Sixers swapped shot makers on almost every possession, the Celtics never found that third and fourth option behind Pierce and Garnett.
"We never really established Kevin," coach Doc Rivers said. "Even though Kevin had points, it wasn't the type of points we needed."
Rondo had tortured the Sixers over the first five games, but was limited to nine points (4 for 14 shooting) and six assists.
He'll need to return to form at home for the Celtics to have a chance at avoiding the upset.
"It's been a tough series. It's down to a Game 7," Garnett said. "We've played well at times, they've played well at times. But now, we'll take it home and see what we can do."
Iguodala and Turner scored 12 points. Lou Williams had 11 and the Sixers outscored Boston 42-16 in the paint.
"I just want our guys to play with no fear," Collins said.
Collins had the Sixers watch a highlight video from Game 7 of the 1982 Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday. The Sixers blew a 3-1 lead in that series and were forced to win Game 7 at Boston to reach the finals — which they did.
Thirty years later, the Sixers get to try again.
Notes: Iverson cupped his hand to his ear and received the loudest ovation of the night. He watched the game from a suite and his eyes watered up when he was shown later in the game on the big screen as the crowd, thousands wearing a No. 3 jersey, went wild and chanted, "MVP!" Iverson posted on Twitter, "You can always come home again!!!" ... Celtics assistant coach Tyronn Lue was famously stepped over by Iverson in the 2001 NBA finals. ... Celtics G Avery Bradley (shoulder) sat out. Rivers said Bradley and Ray Allen are both considered day to day. ... Collins was stunned Iguodala was left off the NBA's all-defensive squad. Collins said Iguodala should have been "no worse than a second-team defender." ... Mickael Pietrus hit the only 3 of the half for either team at the buzzer to send the Celtics into the break ahead 36-33.

GNU Compiler Collection 4.2
The latest GNU compiler provides better support for parallel programming, and GCC also rolls out some new optimization features. We took GCC 4.2 for a test drive.
After much debate and the usual delays, the latest version of the GNU C/ C++ compiler (GCC) has finally materialized. Version 4.2 of GCC [1] follows in the trail of many major and minor changes. For a complete list of changes, refer to the GCC homepage [2].
The most significant change with version 4.2 is support for OpenMP [3], an open standard for program parallelization – especially for systems with shared memory. OpenMP lets programmers specify how the compiler and run-time systems will distribute code segments over multiple threads for parallel execution on multi-core systems.

Re: Looking for thoughts, opinions, and feedback on a purchase & lien situation.[ Edited ]
10-08-2012 03:00 PM - edited 10-08-2012 03:03 PM
I just want to add on more data point of information. The reason QUIT CLAIM DEEDS are the very worst type of deed is because any one can prepare and record a Quit Claim deed on any property in the country.
The person signing the Quit Claim deed (Grantor) is saying that they are passing any claim or interest (as in ownership interest) to the property that they "may" have in the property to the Grantee (person receiving the deed) but there is no representations/warranty that they actually own or have any interest in the property that they are quit claiming!
For example, I can quit claim my interest in the Sears Tower - but I don't have any interest in the Sears Tower so the Quit Claim is meaningless. The person receiving the quit claim deed only gets the interest in the property that the Grantor (person that signed the quit claim deed) actually has. If there is no ownership interest, that's exactly what the Grantee gets - nothing! That is why you, as a buyer, don't want a quit claim deed as a general rule.

Adele cancels remaining U.S. tour dates, including rescheduled First Ave gig
The laryngitis that prevented Adele from performing at her very sold-out May 26 gig in the First Avenue Mainroom is apparently much worse than she initially thought, as she has now called off all of her remaining U.S. tour dates -- including the rescheduled First Ave show that was slated to take place June 22.
"I'm really frustrated," the 23-year-old singer said in a statement issued by her label today. "I was hoping with a weeks rest I'd be better to sing again straight away. However there is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctors advice and rest some more. I'm so sorry. See you soon, love Adele."
Adele had already postponed five of her remaining shows before calling off the entire tour today. According to the statement, plans to reschedule these gigs are currently "being investigated."
Update: First Avenue has issued their own statement on the cancellation: "Plans to reschedule canceled tour dates are being investigated; more information will be provided when available. We encourage people to hold on to their ticket because we expect the date to be rescheduled. Those that would like refunds can get them at the point of purchase."

Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:
Nancy Pelosi (that brilliant star from the independent Soviet Republic of San Francisco) said we should look to Qatar for advice on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. "Qataris have told me Hamas is a humanitarian organization," Pelosi explained. Right… And Nazi's were just socialists dressed in Hugo Boss.
Russia has violated an arms treaty and tested a new type of cruise missile. Obama's response was to send a letter to Putin (not joking). Future ramifications might include a new hashtag campaign, blocking Putin on Facebook, or angry text messages late at night.
Salon ran a story entitled: The "Ted Cruz is smart" trap: Why this garbage is false — and dangerous. Right… It's ridiculous to call Cruz smart. On the other hand: calling the genius who thinks he can legislate with a pen and a phone 'articulate' because he can read from a teleprompter without stuttering… well, that makes perfect sense.
The horror! A white person was hired to teach cultural studies (gasp!) in Fresno. According to people who object to some middle-class white person teaching the class, the school "needs teachers who reflect the ethnic and racial background of its students." I thought Democrats dropped the whole "separate but equal" thing in the mid-sixties.
A bunch of left-leaning Israelis gathered in a public square in Tel Aviv to protest Israel's military operations in Gaza. Their protest was cut short by a rocket attack launched from Gaza… Thousands of Leftist Israelis suddenly understand the concept of irony.
I know this seems shocking, but it looks like John Kerry has undermined pretty much all of our Middle East allies in his attempt to get a ceasefire negotiated… Heck even Joe Biden probably would have been a better guy to send into the area than Kerry. Joe would have at least told Israel to go buy adouble-barrel shotgun, or something.

Hmm.. I use a trackball at that workstation, which can be tricky on a webpage like this. The ad was immediately to the right of the DYAC content. I do not believe I moused over it, but I cannot be 100% certain. I have no idea how advertising content is controlled, but I know I saw a comment from a developer on another site somewhere that responded to a comment like my original above suggesting they DID limit that, and that if one was on their page to let them know. It may have simply been said to placate the user, but I have no idea (wish I could remember where that happened. May have been ICanHazCheeseburger.com)

"Palace Walk "is the first novel in Nobel Prize-winner Naguib Mahfouz's magnificent Cairo Trilogy, an epic family saga of colonial Egypt that is considered his masterwork.
The novels of the Cairo Trilogy trace three generations of the family of tyrannical patriarch al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad, who rules his household with a strict hand while living a secret life of self-indulgence. "Palace Walk" introduces us to his gentle, oppressed wife, Amina, his cloistered daughters, Aisha and Khadija, and his three sons the tragic and idealistic Fahmy, the dissolute hedonist Yasin, and the soul-searching intellectual Kamal. The family's trials mirror those of their turbulent country during the years spanning the two world wars, as change comes to a society that has resisted it for centuries.
Translated by William Maynard Hutchins and Olive E. Kenny
About the Author
Naguib Mahfouz (1911 2006) was the most important Arabic writer of his generation. He is the author of over thirty novels, including "The Cairo Trilogy", "Thief and the Dog", "Miramar", and "Children of the Alley". He is the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature.
William Maynard Hutchins, the principal translator of Naguib Mahfouz's Cairo Trilogy (AUC Press 1990?92), has taught English, philosophy, Arabic, and Islamic Studies in Lebanon, Ghana, Egypt, and France. His most recent book is Tawfiq al-Hakim: A Reader's Guide.
Praise For…
"The alleys, the houses, the palaces and mosques and the people who live among them are evoked as vividly in Mahfouz's work as the streets of London were conjured up by Dickens." —Newsweek
"Rich in psychological insight and cultural observation. . . . A majestic and capacious accomplishment." —The Boston Globe
"A tale told with great affection, humor, and sensitivity, in a style that in this translation is always accessible and elegant." —The New York Times Book Review
"Palace Walk is a feast indeed." —Chicago Tribune

Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said on Thursday that nuclear talks with the EU'S foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton were "long and useful" and that both sides have decided to continue the discussions.
"Last night, as Lady Ashton said, we had long, useful talks," Jalili said in Istanbul. "We had the chance to go into details. We decided to continue working and keep on our talks."
Ashton called the talks "useful" in a statement on Wednesday and said it was time to "reflect on how to go to the next stage of the process".
The top negotiators were meeting for the first time since fruitless six-party negotiations in April over Iran's controversial nuclear ambitions.
Jalili said Iran was "ready to continue the talks any time" but said Tehran's right to peaceful uranium enrichment "should be recognised".

Domestic spying now (secretly) used by law enforcement
The NSA is handing the Justice Department information, derived from its secret electronic eavesdropping programs, about suspected criminal activity unrelated to terrorism; meanwhile the DEA is using information from NSA programs to launch criminal investigations, and then 'recreating' the trail of investigation in order to hide where the information originated.
Six degrees, and all that jazz...
NSA has massive database of Americans' phone calls. "The NSA's domestic program began soon after the Sept. 11 attacks, according to the sources. Right around that time, they said, NSA representatives approached the nation's biggest telecommunications companies. The agency made an urgent pitch: National security is at risk, and we need your help to protect the country from attacks"

Up until the time of his hearing, he was not co-operating
with authorities but in a decision released today, the Parole
Board said there has been a change in his attitude, including
working with a psychologist and indicating he wanted to
return to the house in the grounds of Whanganui Prison to
Wilson went before the parole board on April 2.
He was released from prison in September 2012 to live in the
house on prison grounds but was recalled in April last year
after breaching his parole conditions.
He is serving a 21-year sentence for sexual and violent
offending. His sentence finishes on December 1 next year.
Panel convenor Neville Trendle said at the April 2 hearing
that Wilson appeared to have significantly changed his
position after not contributing to a safety plan or a release
plan with his case manager.
He had also refused a psychological assessment for the parole
board hearing, despite being assessed at a "very high risk of
sexually reoffending."
Wilson made little progress in developing a safety plan or a
release plan. "In essence, he has refused to engage in
release planning with his case manager", the board said.
"With no release proposal before the board to manage his
assessed very high risk of reoffending, Mr Wilson cannot be
considered for parole. It is declined."
Mr Trendle said Wilson was now committed to working with a
psychologist to plan his release and had resumed counselling
with an ACC counsellor.
Wilson's next parole hearing is in three months.
Wilson was jailed in 1996 for 21 years for serious sexual and
violent offending against women and children involving
cruelty to children, stupefying adults and bestiality.

Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota kicked off spring ball this afternoon as the team held its first practice indoors at Rod Wallace Field. Players and coaches seemed amped up to get started, and here are some notes from the Gophers' first workout.
Linebacker Sam Maresh participated in his first practice as college player after battling back from open heart surgery last summer and a benign tumor in his left calf discovered this winter. Maresh worked with the third team and ran a bit gingerly, but he looks strong at 6-foot-3 and 235 and should improve throughout the spring. The first-team linebackers consisted of Lee Campbell and Simoni Lawrence, while Gary Tinsley and Ryan Grant alternated at the third spot. Freshman Keanon Cooper certainly brings speed to the group, but he's a bit undersized at outside 'backer.
The Gophers' four new coaches are fun to watch, particularly offensive line coach Tim Davis and offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch, who employs some creative teaching techniques. The line will be a focal point throughout the spring as Minnesota transitions to a pro-style, power run offense. The first-team line consisted of left tackle Matt Stommes, left guard Dom Alford, center Trey Davis, right guard Matt Carufel and right tackle Jeff Wills.
Stommes, who made a meteoric rise to a starting tackle position after switching from defensive line, passes the eye test. He flat out looks like an athlete at left tackle. Wills, a junior college transfer, is huge but probably needs to improve his conditioning just a touch. Tim Davis rode him pretty hard for not finishing a drill.
The NCAA prevents teams from hitting during the first three practices, so starting quarterback Adam Weber (shoulder surgery) participated alongside backup MarQueis Gray, who looks every bit 6-foot-4 and showed good arm strength on several throws. Fisch spent time working with the quarterbacks on quick releases and at one point had them throw passes any way but overhand, to expand the types of throws (sidearm, flips) they need to make in games. "Turn that double play," Fisch told Weber and Gray while working on their releases.
Running back Duane Bennett, who comes off ACL surgery, ran with the first-team offense along with fullback Jon Hoese, wide receiver Brandon Green and others.
The best line of the practice came from defensive line coach Tim Cross after several players jumped early on a drill with the blocking sled. "You can't make a mistake being an assassin," Cross said. "One shot, one kill."
David Pittman, Green and Marcus Sherels (out for spring ball after shoulder surgery) worked as return men during a special-teams period.
Guard Ned Tavale definitely makes my early All-Big Ten hair team. Nice 'do.

Sonic Doll sketch by TustWatch
©2013-2016 Tust
Before I clicked on it I thought she was holding out a baby and saying 'HAVE MY BABIES!!!' XD
Amy here's an excuse to why you have a sonic doll say that you have dolls of everyone
That's kinda even more creepy (⌒_⌒....
Red Flag! Red Flag!! RED FLAG!!! xD
Sonic and me: creeppyyy.
who knows what horrible things that doll had to go through
who knows what horrible things that doll had to go through
Reminds me of this one scene from "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" where Linus gives Charlie his blanket for good luck at a spelling bee. Is that what you were going for?
Awww ... How Cute!
Aw... How sweet!
LOL. Oh, Amy, you're adorable. xD <3 I love this. It's so cute! <3
That could reach a new high for creepiness.
That's what I was thinking!! after I finished drawing it I noticed how creepy it would be if someone had a doll that looked just like me....Then again this is Amy we're talking about
On "Muppet Babies," Piggy had a doll that looked like *adult* Kermit. Maybe he thought nothing of it at the time, but what would he think if he browsed a photo album as an adult...?

Re: myFICO Insider's Guide to 2010 credit card reform and new FHA mortgage rules
Introductory or teaser rates must last for a minimum of 6 months according to the act. The 12 month rule applies only to the standard rates on the card.
In response to another post, where concerns about closing an account hurting a credit score: Since the account remains on the report for an extended period of time, the age factor on the credit scoring models is not affected, HOWEVER, the debt utilization ratio can increase which can result in a dramatic drop in score. For people that are carrying balances, the total of the balances divided by the total of the credit limits on all of the cards gives you your debt utilization ratio. A high ratio can result in a lower score. By closing an account, you have not lowered the total of your balances, however you have lowered the credit available to you. This means the ratio will increase. As I tell all of my clients, the best way to keep a score high is to keep your credit card balances at zero.
