RE: Version 24.0.1350.0 (176001) running on 32-bit Vista SP-2
This version is loading more slowly, on first launch after a machine boot-up, than any previous version... at least for me. I can almost hop in the car and go to the local coffee shop in the time it's taking to load. Even if I disable all extensions/plug-ins, it still loads more slowly than the previous version did if I disabled all extensions/plug-ins in it. So, yes, some of the slowness is the extensions/plug-ins, but what I'm saying is that however slower was the previous version with all extensions/plug-ins enabled, this version is many times more slow on first launch after a machine boot-up.
Additionally, it seems to be displaying more web pages oddly... there's lots of little incidents of text bleeding out to the right, such as I've circled in red in the attached screenshot, which the previous version didn't do. This makes me worry that it's not complying with standards well.
Also, it's hard to describe this one, but let me try: If I open a page in a tab, and then close that tab, the next tab that I open will sometimes be displaying the closed-tab's page. This also happens if I open a link on a page in a new tab; for an instant, when the new tab first opens, it displays whatever page was displaying in the most-recently closed tab. This is very annoying; and it was definitely not something that was present in the previous version.
Finally -- and I reported this be email in the previous version, but was apparently ignored -- the behavior of the bookmarking system, when one clicks on the little star at the far right end of the omnibox, is broken in both this version, and the immediately-previous one. The symptom is that when I click on the star, the "Bookmark Added" drop-down dialog appears, as normal (however, it's now white instead of the previous gray); but, if I then try to click on the drop-down selector list field through which I may select a recent folder in which to put said bookmark, nothing happens. In order to select a folder, I must click, instead, on the "Edit" button to pop-up the entire list of all folders. Please do not make me keep reporting this bug. It should have been respected the first time I reported it.

Although its name is drugstore beetle, this insect is a general feeder that attacks everything edible and many things people would consider inedible. The drugstore beetle got this common name because it was often found feeding on drugs in pharmacies. In households they attack a wide variety of foods including flour, meal, breakfast food, pepper, spices, seeds, pet food, cereals, raisins, pasta, chocolate, ginger, bread, and rubbed parsley for seasoning. Dry dog food is one item frequently infested by the drugstore beetle. In a library, they may destroy books and manuscripts. In other places, they even feed on poisonous materials such as strychnine, belladonna, and wheat poisoned with strychnine. To prevent drugstore beetle attacks or to control their infestations, it is important to know what they look like, how they live, and where to find them.
The adult drugstore beetle is cylindrical in shape, 1/10 inch (2.5 mm) in length, uniformly brown in color and covered by fine silky dense hairs. The head is not visible from above, giving a humpbacked appearance when seen from the side. Their antennae have three enlarged segments at the end. There are some rows of deep pits on their wing covers. Their eggs are pearly white and are not easily seen with the naked eye. Drugstore beetle larvae are C-shaped (grub-like), about 3/16 inch long, and creamy white in color.
Female drugstore beetles lay eggs singly in suitable foodstuff. They lay between 23-114 eggs that hatch in 9 days. The larval (immature) period is up to 57 days. At the end of the larval stage, they form a little round ball or cell, which becomes their cocoon. This stage lasts from 12-18 days. The complete life cycle takes about 75 days depending on conditions. Adults can fly and are attracted to light.
Non-chemical Control
Good sanitation is the best prevention and control for drugstore beetle infestations. If you follow a few recommendations you can usually eliminate the problem quickly.
Chemical Control
Avoid using insecticides around food. Use them only as a last resort and carefully follow the label directions. If you decide to use insecticides, choose a household insecticide labeled for pantry pests. Remove all food and clean cabinets. Discard all infested food. Do not treat surfaces used for food storage, preparation or where kitchen appliances or utensils are kept. Give special attention to cracks and crevices in cabinets. Allow the insecticide to dry before returning food to cabinets. Cover the shelves with clean shelf paper. After treatment, good sanitation and proper storage are keys to preventing future infestations.

How you can expand your printing capabilities in many ways and stay in touch with the latest trends.
By Harel Ifhar
After several years of challenging economic times for the printing industry, worldwide demand for print increased in 2011, resulting in a commensurate jump in technology investments as large-format customers sought to take advantage of the 6.2B sqm opportunity in the sign and display industry. The resulting boost in digital print growth is pushing print service providers (PSPs) to capitalize on new business opportunities tied to growing technologies like UV and latex.
The underlying analog-to-digital conversion in the large-format printing market reflects the rapid growth and development of high-end digital presses coupled with a higher demand for shorter, personalized runs. Some new solutions are capable of managing screen volumes and quality, while addressing new markets and applications that only digital can handle, such as custom QR codes and variable data. In addition, the average print job has dropped dramatically from 15,000 to 1,500 copies, driving higher rates of digital adoption.
PSP customers see major brands take a more sustainable approach to wide-format print sourcing, setting strict environmental requirements for their print jobs and applying those to the service providers that produce them. This demand for green solutions is driving the decline in solvent technologies, particularly as UV and latex devices reach new levels of performance maturity and application versatility, while offering certifications to validate their indoor environmental benefits to print buyers.

It's like saying what came first the chicken or the egg?....answer: well gravity just made the chicken.....(how is that possible and what made gravity in the first place, if this is so?)
I know I sound very simple and plain but that it what Hawking is essentially saying. This quote struck me: "If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God." -didn't he say that God had nothing to do with anything? And that he goes against Issac Newton's views of God existing because of the incredible chance of the alignment of the planets and our sun,etc being less remarkable than before??
I still find it amazing how someone so smart like hawking could just use example B as the answer when example A came first. (my thoery: Someone made gravity)...were did gravity come from?
His theories could prove how the universe works but not how it began.
hawking will say the Big bang...then it turns into the Big bang debate.
This thread will always have arguments going in circles.

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake hits near the port city of Bushehr, Iran, raising concerns about the safety of the nuclear power station located 11 miles south. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
A magnitude-6.3 earthquake struck near Iran's only nuclear power station Tuesday, killing at least 37 people and injuring hundreds, according to one report, and generating tremors that were felt on the other side of the Persian Gulf.
The quake struck about 60 miles southeast of the city of Bushehr on Iran's south coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
"No damage was done to Bushehr power plant," Bushehr provincial governor Fereidoun Hasanvand told state TV, according to The Associated Press. He said 850 people were injured, including 100 who were hospitalized.
Government news agency IRNA described the quake as "devastating" and reported that the dead were in the villages of Shanbe and Tasouj. One hundred ambulances were being sent to the area from the capital Tehran, it said.
IRNA said Iran's Red Crescent Society had sent five assessment teams to the area to coordinate rescue operations, and that helicopters from Fars and Khuzestan provinces were airlifting supplies required by rescue teams.
One Bushehr resident told Reuters by telephone that her home and her neighbors' homes shook but were not damaged.
"We could clearly feel the earthquake," said Nikoo, who asked to be identified only by her first name. "The windows and chandeliers all shook."

The quake was felt in Dubai, Qatar and Bahrain on the other side of the Persian Gulf, according to The Weather Channel. Twitter users in Bahrain and Qatar said buildings there had been evacuated.
In a preliminary report, the USGS said the magnitude-6.3 quake struck at 6:52 a.m. ET at a depth of just under 8 miles.
The Iranian Seismological Center at the University of Tehran put the magnitude at a lower 6.1 and said the epicenter was in Kaki, an inland town around 60 miles southeast of Bushehr.
A series of five aftershocks followed within an hour of the initial temblor, the strongest of which measured at a magnitude of 5.4, the USGS reported.
BREAKING: All buildings in The Pearl #Qatar have been evacuated due to an earthquake, according to @nuqatar— Justin D. Martin (@Justin_D_Martin) April 9, 2013
On its website, the USGS estimated that only about 3,000 people would have felt most violent shaking from the quake, and said another 80,000 live in areas that would have experienced strong tremors. In the region's largest city, Shiraz, home to about 1.5 million people, the earthquake would have been felt as light shaking.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announces his country "has gone nuclear" as Iran starts production at two uranium mines and a yellow-cake plant. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
The nuclear plant's operations were unaffected, an official with the Russian company that built the facility told Iran's RIA news agency, according to Reuters. "The earthquake in no way affected the normal situation at the reactor, personnel continue to work in the normal regime and radiation levels are fully within the norm,'' RIA quoted an official at Atomstroy as saying.
Iran insists its nuclear plant at Bushehr is for civilian purposes, but there is international concern that the regime may be building nuclear weapons.
Western experts and Gulf Arab countries have worried about the plant being in an area with such high seismic activity, but Iran has repeatedly maintained that it is safe.

Applewood Golf Course
Golden, Colorado
August 9, 2004
Washington native shoots 5-under-par 65
GOLDEN, Colo. â John Wise of Issaquah, Wash., swept the field in Mondayâs Transamerica Junior at Hiwan Qualifier. The medalist carded an impressive 5-under-par 65 to finish the day three shots ahead of the rest of the field. Finishing in second place was Patrick Tom of Norwalk, Calif., after firing a 68.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan Qualifier was held at the Applewood Golf Course. Sixty boys from 13 states, including 27 Colorado natives, competed for 14 spots in this weekâs 54-hole tournament, which will be held at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen, Colo.
The 17-year-old Wiseâs round included birdies on Nos. 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 18. In his first nine holes alone, the medalist recorded four birdies as well as five pars. Wise attributes his success to his crisp fairway shots throughout the round.
âI was able to hit a lot of straight iron shots right at the flag and I was able to recover from some rough drives,â Wise said. âI just took it one shot at a time and tried to keep a solid round going.â
Wise hopes that entering this weekâs tournament with added confidence will lead to success at the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan.
âI really look forward to playing with such a strong field this week,â the rising senior remarked. âHiwan is a longer and faster course so it should be fun.â
Tom, the second-place finisher, recorded a 2-under-par 68 on the day. Playing in his second AJGA qualifier, the California native carded seven birdies. Despite the impressive showing, Tom said there was room for improvement.
âI feel like I could have played a lot better today than I did,â Tom said. âI tried to press too hard on a few holes and ended up having to make some good bunker shots.â
Also earning spots in this weekâs tournament are Paul Berry of Steamboat Springs, Colo., Taylor Hakes of Coronado, Calif., Gunner Wiebe of Aurora, Colo., Richard Lee of Bellevue, Wash., Jiweon Seo of Buena Park, Calif., Chase Wirtz of Westlake Village, Calif., Chris Cho of San Diego, Calif., Eric Taylor of Federal Way, Wash., Tyler Weir of Boulder, Colo., Chris Hirahatake of Irvine, Calif., and David Duarte of Fountain, Colo., and Klinton Kreiger of Cheyenne, Wyo. Kreiger qualified via a seven hole sudden death playoff.
Andrew Douthit of McKinney, Texas and Tyler Parsloe of Littleton, Colo., opted to take one AJGA tournament exemption in lieu of playing in the Transamerica Junior at Hiwan.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

There are still three months left in this year's flu season, but there have already been more cases this year then in the entire flu season last year.
Health officials say it's hard to track reasons behind the increase, but they are urging people to take the flu seriously.
Mayo Clinic Health System says it saw only one case at this time last year, but this year, it's already seen 85 cases.
Gundersen Lutheran Health System has also seen a large increase, going from one case last year to 80 cases this year.
The spike reflects what's happening across the state of Wisconsin.
Last year's flue season, the state saw just less than 400 cases of people going to an emergency room or being hospitalized for influenza.
Nurses with the La Crosse County Health Department say the state has already surpassed that number, and the season doesn't usually end until March.
"When it starts earlier, you expect it's going to last longer because it will generally go through those winter months when people are confined. So we're expecting to see a lot more cases this year than last year," said La Crosse County Health Department nurse Christine Berth.
The flu virus can be passed by touch.
Nurses say the virus can live on a surface for up to 24 hours.
People with the flu can also start spreading it before they show any symptoms.
Infection control specialists say the No. 1 way to stop the spread is to get the flu vaccine.
"I'm a little bit surprised by the number of hospitalized cases we've had and with the increase in the number of cases confirmed that we've seen at this point in the year. It's definitely an active season and definitely a season you want to make sure you have your flu shot," said Mary-Jo Stokes, infection prevention and control specialist with Mayo Clinic Health System.
Nurses say they're not sure why there are so many more cases this year.
But they are encouraging everyone who hasn't gotten their flu shot yet to go out and get one right away.
If a patient is scared of needles, nurses say the flu mist is an option.
It's available for anyone ages 2 to 49.

The White Towers by Andy Remic
"For anyone who is missing their David Gemmell fix."

"A worthy successor to the Gemmell crown."
– SFBook.com
Vagandrak is broken, and a new threat has arisen that threatens to defeat even the mighty Iron Wolves.
The twisted, deviant Elf Rats have gathered in the toxic realm beyond the White Lion Mountains… swiftly they invade the troubled land of Vagandrak, killing for profit and pleasure.
The now-disgraced Iron Wolves are the realm's only hope, but there's a problem: they've been sentenced to death by the insane King Yoon for the dark sorcery in their blood.
In the mountains of Zalazar lie the White Towers, pillars of legend said to contain the Heart of the Elves. The Iron Wolves must journey north to steal the Heart, and purify the evil in the land, but the land belongs to the Elves – and they won't give it up without a fight!

Praise and Reviews for Andy Remic:
"Kell's Legend is a roller coaster ride of a book that grabbed me right from the first page and tore off at a rate of knots like I hadn't seen in a long time."
– Graeme's Fantasy Book Review
"Add to the mix a good dollop of battlefield humour, a good handful of Howard's style backed up with a stark descriptiveness and it's a tale that gives Remic a firm footing within the genre."
– Falcata Times
"Andy Remic has to be given credit for his unflinching style which is certainly not for everyone. The action and gore levels are increased, while the characters are all tested and reveal more about themselves… The action and snappy dialogue are all here. This book delivers exactly what its predecessor promised: the ability to bewitch the reader and to turn your expectations upside down."
– Fantasy Book Critic

Jurors returned about an hour later with a not guilty verdict.
Adrian Campos was charged with aggravated assault, threatening someone with a deadly weapon, after Beeville Police Department detectives arrested him in a traffic stop days after an Aug. 13, 2012 incident in the 1500 block of East Rosewood Street.
Detective Sgt. Art Gamez and Sgt. Ryan Treviño both testified that Campos was identified as the assailant who had passed the home of 31-year-old Jesus Martinez that evening.
According to witnesses, Martinez and Campos exchanged words, and a white Toyota in which Campos was a passenger stopped.
Five witnesses testified that Campos got out of the passenger seat holding what they thought was either a rifle or a shotgun and that he started walking toward Martinez.
Testimony conflicted regarding how Campos was holding the weapon and concerning what type of weapon he had.
Defense attorney Sid Arismendez tried to convince the jury that the object the witnesses thought was a gun actually was a small baseball bat.
One witness even said he was certain that the object Campos carried was a sawed-off shotgun, and he said he heard the defendant fire one shot. The witness even said he saw the weapon recoil.
None of the other witnesses claimed to have heard a shot, and officers at the scene said they looked for a possible shell casing and found none.
Assistant District Attorney James Sales told jurors it did not matter whether or not Campos actually had a gun, as long as the victim and the witnesses thought it was a gun and thought Campos was brandishing the weapon in a threatening manner.
In his closing arguments Tuesday afternoon, Arismendez stressed the fact that almost every witness told a conflicting story.
But Sales countered by pointing out that each of the witnesses had said they thought the object Campos was carrying was a gun.
One witness, Juan DeLaTorre, told jurors that he was standing with Martinez working on a car when the vehicle Campos was in passed the victim's house.
DeLaTorre, 33, said Martinez started shouting at Campos before Campos shouted back at him.
"He was egging him on, I guess," the witness said.
DeLaTorre described the object Campos was carrying as being brown and black, looking like a rifle.
"I seen wood and dark metal," DeLaTorre said.
He said he warned Martinez "watch out; he has a gun", and he bolted for the door of Martinez's house to escape a possible shooting.
DeLaTorre and Martinez had conflicting testimony concerning who got to the door of the house first.
When Arismendez showed DeLaTorre a photo of a baseball bat that had been taken from a vehicle Campos was in days after the incident and asked the witnesses if he thought it could have been the bat he saw, the witness said, "Yeah, I guess."
When Sales rested his case, Arismendez asked the judge to find his defendant not guilty because the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Johnson denied the motion.
The trial was hampered by the loss of photos and other evidence that the BPD apparently had lost since the arrest.
The charge against Campos is a second degree felony. If convicted, he could have been sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison and fined $10,000.

Winter of Discontent
Faculty demands more shared governance at PCC
By Nick Smith 03/28/2013
After voting "no confidence" in Pasadena City College President Mark Rocha, members of the PCC Faculty Association (PCCFA) are again crying foul.
This time, teachers are objecting to statements made by Rocha, who claimed faculty grievances are related mostly with contract negotiations within the teachers' union, a contention that the PCC Board of Trustees supports.
"The board also recognizes that the current circumstances of our faculty union negotiations being in impasse contribute to heated emotions and strong words," reads a statement from the board.
"These remarks are unfortunate because they do not factor in the full spectrum of grievances and concerns that faculty, staff and students have expressed at many shared governance committees and Board of Trustees meetings," according to a March 18 PCCFA statement.
The PCCFA and the Pasadena Area Community College District (PACCD) have been unable to reach agreement on contract terms — one major sticking point being a three-term academic calendar, which excludes a winter term. PACCD has set a March 28 deadline to reach an agreement, after which Rocha's administration may implement its own terms, giving the FA a legal basis to strike.
"[It's] about the deeper problem of the deliberate destruction of the democratic process, the fear and corporatization on campus and overall mismanagement, which is leading to a decline in student transfer rates and PCC's overall reputation," said Melissa Michelson, a PCC teacher and member of an ad hoc faculty committee, an informal group comprised of faculty members attempting to restore shared governance of the campus, according to Michelson.
A union meeting last Thursday was called to discuss a list of grievances related to the board's actions, including increased class sizes (to make up for eliminated winter classes), lost faculty income and the school's apparent disregard for shared governance.
"There is a statistically significant inverse correlation between class size and both retention and success, psychology instructor Julie Kiotis said at Thursday's meeting. "We are literally putting students in positions just to pay for classes that we know they will never, ever pass. If I were the students, I would be furious," she said.
The PCC Associated Students two weeks ago also voted "no confidence" in Rocha.
PCCFA will be filing a complaint with the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) over the school's cancellation of winter classes, also known as Winter Intercession.
According to PCCFA President Roger Marheine, a hearing has been scheduled for July 8.
"Thus far, the Board of Trustees has been in denial," said Marheine. "Its members have failed to take shared governance seriously, [and] have turned a deaf ear to the cries of faculty, students and staff."

Old hippies never die…
Proprietress Babette Shook Ross told me that "colorful folks" had been showing up all day and that the site was close to full, but would hold a spot for the woebegone wet ones that I was searching for in the woods, somewhere near the concert venue. I found the kids, loaded up the pickup with all of their gear and dropped them off with Babette and her husband Lloyd, who promised to keep in touch with me throughout the festival.
I received a text message the next morning from Babette reading: "The kids are doing well, Jonathan, they're teaming up with others in the group tomorrow—going to borrow the drum set I have stored. Such a great group and so PLEASANT ! I think they're trying to help keep an eye on things—AND GREAT BURRITO'S they have!"
Pleased to hear that there was a party going on at Fiddlers, I went ahead with my plans to attend one of the many pre-phish, post-phish events at the Dancing Cat Saloon (dancingcatsaloon.com), which is located just down the road from Bethel Woods. Having erected an outdoor stage for live music from dusk till dawn, fireworks and "Phish Food" on the menu, Stacy Cohen and Co. also had a phenomenal experience with the crowds.
I stayed at The Cat for quite a while and grooved to bands "Yasgur" and "Peter Florence & the Riff Kings" before hitting the road to hang out with more of the kids.
Again I was informed along the way that everyone visiting had been respectful, considerate and well behaved (while spending money in the county), so I was a bit confused over conflicting reports that were floating around. Having attended Woodstock, I could observe the many differences that the years have wrought, but spending these three days with a whole new generation was not entirely unlike those three days in 1969. I liked what I saw in these Phish Phans. I hope the experience was good for them and that they will want to return, continuing to carry the torch that is still worthy (IMHO) of being passed on to the next generation; peace, love, freedom, happiness. Nothin' wrong with that.

BAES PTO announces Polar Plunge
Buckhannon Academy Elementary School needs money for new playground equipment, so it's going to charge people for the privilege of jumping into the Buckhannon River on Feb. 1 during its first annual Polar Plunge.
"We know it's cold, but our playground is old," school officials say.
"Plunge for a playground" festivities, complete with music and concessions, will take place at the Wood Street Boat Ramp. Registration starts at 9 a.m.
A costume contest will kick off at 10 a.m.. There will be ice fairies, snow troopers and various other creatures from the icy north – and points beyond. They will parade before judges and the crowd for a chance to win tickets for a ghost hunt at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
Contestants can compete alone or as members of a team. Costumes should be family-friendly, organizers say.
Then it's time for the plunge. Participants will approach water's edge in small groups, and they can either dip their toes in the river or wade in up to their necks. Participants are asked to protect their feet by wearing shoes, sandals, sneakers, hikers or wellies.
They can then retreat to warming stations provided by the Upshur County Office of Emergency Management. Safety personnel will be on hand to ensure that everyone has a great time that's memorable for all the right reasons.
Amanda Mason, kindergarten teacher at BAES, said, "At BAES, our facilities and equipment committee has looked into the possible funds for replacing our current playgrounds. Both playgrounds are very outdated, and our K-2 playground is literally falling apart. The wood play equipment is weathered and not nearly as sturdy as it once was or needs to be.
"We have anywhere from 90-120 kids on the playground at a time – sometimes more than three times each day. We need new, safe and developmentally appropriate play areas for children ages 5-12."
BAES PTO president Krista Sappey said. "We're working to raise money to purchase and install new playground equipment for the nearly 600 students attending our school. If taking a swim in freezing temperatures helps out our kids, then that is a plunge we are willing to take. We really hope this helps us to be able to provide a wonderful safe and fun environment for all of our students."
The charges for taking a plunge are $20 for adults and $15 for students. Prospective participants are encouraged to set their own price of at least $20 and then round up sponsors.
There will be chances at other prizes for both participants and spectators, including tickets for the American Mountain Theater, Elkins Dinner Train, a night of free camping at Audra State Park, a culinary tour of Buckhannon, a family fun pack and memberships to Rob's Fitness Factory.
The grand prize is two weekly grounds passes for the Greenbrier Classic, including admission to the concerts.

A West Allis man accused of sexual assault will get a new trial.
A 15-year-old girl alleged in 2009 that Darryl Badzinski sexually assaulted her in his parents' laundry room between October 1995 and April 1998. A jury convicted him of first-degree sexual assault of a child in 2010.
The 1st District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday Badzinski deserves a new trial because the judge mistakenly instructed jurors they didn't have to agree on where the assault happened. The court found the jury had to agree the assault took place in the laundry room since nothing suggests it happened anywhere else.
A spokeswoman with the state Justice Department, which handles felony appeals for local prosecutors, says the agency may ask the state Supreme Court to review the case.

With all the hype (and money) surrounding buzzword terms like Web 2.0 and Rich Internet Applications (RIA), it's easy to wonder, "How can I integrate that into my PHP application?" Certainly, Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) technologies that use JavaScript code are a good option. But you should also have a look at the Adobe Flex framework. With Flex, you can quickly build functional, attractive user interfaces in Adobe Flash that communicate to your PHP web application through XML.
Let's step back and look at what Flex is and how it compares to standard HTML development with a language like PHP. Both the traditional Web 1.0 HTML architecture and the Flex-based architecture are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The Flex architecture compared to the standard PHP web page architecture
On the left, you can see the standard PHP workflow you've come to know. The browser makes a request of the PHP web page, which talks to the database and sends back HTML to satisfy the customer's request.
On the right is the Flex approach. The customer navigates to the page, where a Flex application (a SWF file) is loaded that contains the user interface for the form. This Flex application then uses XML to read or write data to the PHP pages on the server. Those new PHP pages talk to the database and return XML to the Flex application for display. The dashed lines on the list.html and list.swf files indicate that they were generated by Adobe Flex Builder 2.
The advantage of Flex is that the framework provides an amazing set of interface tools that make it easy to build highly interactive user interfaces. In addition, there are many advantages to having the PHP pages return XML instead of (or in addition to) HTML. Here are just a few:
Flex Builder 2 builds the Flex applications. Figure 2 shows how Flex Builder 2 takes the MXML and ActionScript files that define the interface and generates the application's SWF file and the host HTML pages.
Figure 2. The Flex Builder 2 compilation cycle
In Flex Builder, you edit the list.mxml file. When you click Run to test the page, Flex Builder compiles the list.mxml file into an SWF file and builds a page that references that file. You can test the file locally on your machine and, when it's ready, push the HTML and SWF files up to your web pages to get them into production. Flex Builder even has a fully integrated debugger that you can use to step through the ActionScript code that runs in the Flex application.
The rest of this article walks you through installing Flex Builder 2, creating a Flex project, and attaching it to a simple PHP web application.
Flex Builder 2 is available as a free trial download from Adobe. It runs on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X and has a simple installer on both platforms that gets you up and running quickly. You have two download options: the standalone version and an Eclipse plug-in. When in doubt, choose the standalone version.
Flex Builder 2 is based on the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) framework. If you are familiar with Eclipse or you are using it already, you might want to download Flex Builder as a plug-in and simply add it to your existing Eclipse installation. I mention this because there are a couple of good IDEs for PHP that are also based on Eclipse. One is PHPEclipse, another is Eclipse's own PHP Development Tools project. So, having both the PHP IDE and the Flex Builder 2 plug-ins installed gives you a single IDE to work on your user interface and your backend PHP code. (In addition to the Flex Builder 2 download, have a look at Adobe's PHP/Flex page.)
After you've installed Flex Builder 2, launch it and create a new project. To do this, select File > New > Flex Project. A dialog box similar to Figure 3 appears.
Figure 3. The first page of the New Flex Project Wizard
Select the first option, Basic, because you're going to use PHP pages on the server to get to the data. Click Next, which takes you to the final New Project Wizard page (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. The second page of the New Flex Project Wizard
I've named the project flex_php, but you can use any name you like. By default, the wizard puts the files in your My Documents directory on Windows (your Documents directory on Mac OS X). You can change that location, as well.
Just to make sure that everything is working well, let's do a little "Hello World" test. Thankfully, Flex Builder has already created a starting MXML file in the new Flex Project. So, you can add a simple line of Flex code to the file, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Creating a simple "Hello World" Flex application
If you want to copy and paste the code, here it is:
<mx:Label text="Hello World">
This code adds a single
label element to the Flex application with the text "Hello World." When you click Run in the toolbar, Flex compiles the MXML code and brings up your web browser with the application running. Figure 6 shows the page on a Macintosh.
Figure 6. The "Hello World" application
Not too much to look at, but hey, what do you want from a "Hello World" application? At least you now know that everything is installed properly and running smoothly.
You've also seen a bit of MXML. Here is the complete fragment:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="..." layout="absolute">
<mx:Label text="Hello World">
<mx:Application> tag defines the application. Then, the
<mx:Label> tag places a label in the layout of the application. The
text property defines the string that will appear in the label. A label is just one of the bevy of controls that the Flex framework provides. You also get buttons, sliders, tabs, images, movies, and even charts and graphs.
Flex allows you to script the application by adding ActionScript code blocks either in the MXML file or as external ActionScript files, in much the same way JavaScript code can go in the web page or be externally sourced from a JavaScript file.
To build a Flex interface that talks to a PHP application, you first need a PHP application. Say you've decided to build an application that stores a list of subscribers, including their first names, last names, and email addresses. The first step in building the application is to figure out where to store the data. You do that in a MySQL database using a table that the MySQL database code shown in Listing 1 created.
Listing 1. db.sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS emails;
CREATE TABLE emails (
first TEXT,
last TEXT,
email TEXT
To get that table into MySQL, you must first create the database, then run the following db.sql code:
% mysqladmin create flex_php
% mysql flex_php < db.sql
To add some example data, run the following script from the command line:
% mysql flex_php
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 28 to server version: 4.0.17-standard
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> INSERT INTO emails VALUES ('jack','herrington','email@example.com' );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
mysql> quit
You can use whatever values you like.
Then, create a list.php script that reads the data from the database table and exports it as XML. Listing 2 shows this PHP file.
Listing 2. list.php
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
$dsn = 'mysql://root@localhost/flex_php';
$db =& DB::Connect( $dsn, array() );
if (PEAR::isError($db)) { die($db->getMessage()); }
$res = $db->query( "SELECT first, last, email FROM emails" );
while( $res->fetchInto( $row ) )
<first><?php echo( $row[0] ); ?></first>
<last><?php echo( $row[1] ); ?></last>
<email><?php echo( $row[2] ); ?></email>
First, this script uses the
header() function to tell the web server that the return is going to be XML. It then connects to the web server using the DB module available from PEAR (and installed by default with most installations). After the script connects to the database, it runs a simple Structured Query Language (SQL) query to collect all the records, then uses a
while loop to write them out as XML tags.
Running the script on the command line produces the following result:
% php list.php
You now have a script that shows the contents of your database as XML. You can connect that to your Flex application easily. But you also need a way to add records to the database. For that, a separate addform.php script (Listing 3) is required.
Listing 3. addform.php
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
$dsn = 'mysql://root@localhost/flex_php';
$db =& DB::Connect( $dsn, array() );
if (PEAR::isError($db)) { die($db->getMessage()); }
$sth = $db->prepare(
"INSERT INTO emails ( first, last, email ) VALUES ( ?, ?, ? )"
$db->execute( $sth,
array( $_POST['first'], $_POST['last'], $_POST['email'] )
<ok />
This simple script first tells the web server that the return type is XML. It then connects to the database, prepares the
INSERT statement, and runs it with the variables provided by the
POST arguments that will come from the Flex application. Flex applications use
POST data just like any other web client, which makes it easy to connect with existing web applications.
That's all you need on the PHP scripts side. Now, you must build the Flex applications for viewing the subscriber list and adding new subscribers. I separate the frontend of the application into two components: a backend Flex application for administrators that views the list of subscribers, and a frontend Flex application that offers a subscription form to the customer.
To build the backend subscriber viewer, you need to wrap a Flex user interface around the XML list.php page. Creating an attractive data viewer for XML data that comes from PHP couldn't be easier with Flex. Listing 4 shows the list.mxml file.
Listing 4. list.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:XML id="mydata" source="http://localhost/flex_php/list.php"></mx:XML>
<mx:DataGrid id="emaillist" x="10" y="10" dataProvider="{mydata..subscriber}">
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="first" />
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="last" />
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="email" />
<mx:XML> tag defines the location of XML data source. (That's the list.php file you put together earlier.) The
<mx:DataGrid> tag is a Flex control that displays data in a tabular format. To tell the
DataGrid control which fields to display, create an
<mx:columns> tag that contains
<mx:DataGridColumn> tags for each field.
Now, when you click Run, a browser pops up, and you see the subscriber list (See Figure 7).
Figure 7. The Flex list application, which shows the subscribers
Not only is the data grid attractive, it's also functional. For example, clicking the headings allows you to change the sort ordering without having to add that code to your PHP script or go back to the server for the data. And you can change the order of the columns as you like—again, without going back to the server.
I've done a lot of Ajax and Dynamic HTML (DHTML) work, and I certainly haven't seen a way to display data as quickly or as cleanly as this approach.
The next step is to build the frontend subscription application that will allow users to register. This form uses the addform.php script on the server to add new entries to the database. The MXML script for the form is shown in Listing 5.
Listing 5. addform.mxml
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="http://localhost/flex_php/addform.php" method="POST">
<mx:FormItem label="First Name">
<mx:TextInput id="first"/>
<mx:FormItem label="Last Name">
<mx:TextInput id="last"/>
<mx:FormItem label="Email">
<mx:TextInput id="email"/>
<mx:Button label="Subscribe" click="srv.send()"/>
At the top of the file is the definition of the HTTP service that the PHP addform.php script provides. At the bottom is the form, with all the labels and text input areas as well as the Subscribe button.
When you click Run, the Flex application shown in Figure 8 appears in the web browser.
Figure 8. The subscriber add form
Type a first name, last name, and email address, then click Subscribe. From there, you can go back to the Flex list application and see the new entry (Figure 9).
Figure 9. The list with the new data
This example doesn't even begin to cover the surface of what you can do with Flex and its user interface toolkit, but it does give you a simple path to connecting your PHP web application to a Flex application in a real way. The final step is to push the HTML and SWF files in your project's bin directory to your web server, which puts your Flex application into production.
Flex isn't the only way to create RIAs; JavaScript and Ajax can also provide your applications with a lot of interactivity. But Flex has many advantages. First, it has a rich cross-platform user interface toolkit that's easier to work with, in some cases, than the DHTML model. Second, it encourages you to architect your PHP application to support HTML and XML interfaces, which is good for everyone.
Flex Builder 2's biggest advantage is its ability to create self-contained SWF files from MXML applications that talk to your web server. This means that you can create small widgets or Flash-based interface enhancements for your site quickly. That's a nice way of getting into Flex without having to move your entire interface over to it. Give it a try; I think you'll be blown away.

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie's proposed preschool program is facing pushback from religious institutions that take issue with the current version of the bill.
Faith-based groups testified before the House Finance Committee on Tuesday, saying a recent amendment to the bill gives secular institutions an unfair advantage.
The Hawaii Catholic Conference says parents should have a choice as to where to educate their children.
The Hawaii Baptist Early Education Association says faith-based institutions provide 50 percent of preschool education in Hawaii.
Both groups say they support a version of the bill that would allow funding for faith-based preschool.
But the Hawaii Family Advocates says there's no way to amend the bill to make it amenable to religious schools.
The group also said preschool isn't cost-effective use of state money.

Tormek T-7 Water Cooled Sharpening System
I just took this out of the box at 430 pm I had 2 sharp plane blades by 6. The CD supplied was brilliant, it shows everything you need to know upfront. If every manufacturer did this then the world would be such a better place! Anyone who does not rate this product a 5 star has no nugget between there ears! You could not make any improvement on this, I wanted to by this sooner, but did not want to shell out the big bucks. To be honest I have gone through a set of Norton stones that might have costed close to $300, not to mention the Diamond stone I used to flatten the Norton stones. The Norton stones are not versatile like this machine is. I will still use them as my techniques, but this machine is awesome. It can place a 25 degree bevel in less than 5 min. I add an aggressive secondary bevel that will show after 10 sharpenings. To reestablish square with the Diamond stone could take several hours. This machine will save you time and frustration! The band aids are quite interesting as its almost in the form of a first aid kit. I am very impressed with this tool! The learning curve is quick with the videos and books supplied. This is a purchase I will not regret, I actually like it most out of all my tools. I should have bought this sooner, you can even place camber on your plane blades!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
ManchVegas NH
sharp! sharp! sharrrrrp!!
Amazing System!!
Cincinnati, OH
The T-7, although expensive, has proven to be worth every penny. I laughed when I saw that it come out of the box with a package of bandaids included. I even thought it was a bit arrogant. However, within hours I needed one of the bandaids after having sharpened my favorite hatchet and mistakenly using a rag to wipe the water off of it. The hatchet cut through several layers of rag and sliced my finger. Positively amazing.
Outstanding craftmanship
wichita, ks
I purchased this sharpener two months ago. I have given it this long to make my review. I own several knives that are extremely expensive. I am a chef and pride myself on having sharp knives. I was spending about $100 a year on having these sharpened. when one day i asked the guy who sharpened my knife what he used. he told me a tormek t7. so I decided to buy one and sharpen my knives myself. when i received it from wodcraft I set it up. I then watched the dvd and read the manual. After doing this I then took one of my cheaper knives and began. When i was done my knife was extremely sharp. the set up for each knife is farely easy and very repeatable. the one issue i have seen with this product is that the knives are so sharp and it is so easy to sharpen them it makes me want to sharpen them every time i use them.
Worth the Money
Still getting use to the Tormek but it didn't take long to realize it's worth every penny. Lot of money but what a difference it makes with my turning tools.
Totally awesome!
Holland, NJ
I use this water sharpening system to sharpen my wood turning tools mostly, but I do have other jigs to sharpen scissors and axes. I used a Grizzly before this machine and there is no comparison. This system is quick and easy to setup making it effortless to reproduce the exact geometry needed to sharpen and polish your tools fast. The only con was the price, but you get what you pay for in life and I think this was worth every penny.
works as advertised
works great on any tool needing a sharp edge.
swedes are sharp
this thing is a fine machine and will literally sharpen anything wiht the right jig. especially good for turning tools.
Bottom Line
Expensive but seems worth it
Bridgman, MI
I'd qualify myself as a pretty serious novice on the lathe.
I have only rated the Tormek at 4 stars at this point as I am still very new to it. Any shortcomings I've experienced are very likely due to my "newness" to using it.
This time through on my woodworking purchase I wanted to buy the best there was---hoping to have no regrets later.
Super strong, very well built, seems to do its' intended job very well.
As I use it more I am certain I will like it more.
It is a very serious tool and as such demands some serious practicing to get the perfect results one is after.
I will update my review as I (hopefully)improve my sharpening skills.

Finally it's here — Graduation!
For the last few months I've listened to the buzz from all the kids — as they try to figure out everything from picking a college to arranging the money, getting the prom dress and mailing those announcements — and now it's here.
As happy as I am for them all, I have to admit, the whole dynamic has me looking at my furry friends with a little more tenderness these days.
And it got me thinking about the similarities, and differences, between kids and animals.
You spend the first few years waiting excitedly for the day you can put away the diaper bag and listen for the flush.
And the idea of mom getting to wear a white shirt or leaving the scissors on the coffee table without resulting blood shed or impromptu haircuts starts to rank pretty high on the list of dreams.
Even the thought of letting them play outside without having to eagle-eye them the whole time starts to look like a mini-vacation.
But while nothing says "push me out of the nest" quite like a teenager, at some point all those dreams do come true and all of a sudden you miss the little hand prints on your shirt and the Cheerios on the wall.
Enter Fido. (For the sake of simplicity in this comparative exploration, I think I'll stick with the dog but feel free to insert the animal of your choice).
The great thing about dogs is they are like kids that never grow up.
They may have a rebellious moment here or there, but overall, if you're good to them, and often even if you're not, they don't develop a separate agenda that steers them away from you.
In fact, their plans really don't extend much further than "Hey, what's that over there?"
They don't go to college, they don't want to have their own apartment or to live in the city because you forced them to live in the country.
All they want is you and they are there for the long haul, come what may.
The trade off?
Sometimes, even with the most beloved dog and no matter how old they get, you are looking at perpetual child-proofing, days where you wonder what went wrong with potty training and never putting down the apron string (I mean leash).
And depending on how many dogs you have in a lifetime, every 10 years or so you have to go through the painful experience of watching gray hairs appear and hearing and vision disappear until you're eventually faced with a difficult decision between their suffering or your desire to have them by your side.
Ironically, some of the same things your kids will eventually have to experience assuming you treated them right and sometimes even if you didn't.
I guess when it comes down to it, having human kids means learning to let go (and sometimes push) while having furry kids means you get to call the shots forever and keep a grip on that leash like an umbilical chord.
Of course that is with "forever" being about a decade and "control" being as subjective as any chewing habits that may surface.
I guess after this weekend is over, while the graduates are out selecting bedding sets for their dorm rooms and trying to earn a little extra cash before D-day, it's as good a time as any to suggest that walk to Fido.
Or perhaps you already have their bags packed and waiting at the door, ready to push them over the edge of the nest.
Just remember one of the other minor distinctions between furry and human kids: If you push a human kid out of the nest they eventually learn to fly, even if there's an awkward quasi-adult phase in there somewhere.

I just have a small grant…does it need to go through RASP?
Yes! Even if you don't require our assistance preparing your proposal, we need to know about your project for a number of reasons. As more and more people on campus participate in grant writing, we need to have a central repository to ensure that we're not duplicating efforts. We also need to be able to brag about our grant writing successes to other agencies when we apply to them.
