Treatment of pituitary carcinomas
Pituitary carcinomas are rare tumors that have already spread to other parts of the body when they are found. Surgery and radiation therapy are the main forms of treatment and may slow tumor growth and prevent or relieve symptoms. But in general, these tumors are very hard to control.
Chemotherapy and newer targeted therapy drugs may be tried, but it's not clear if these treatments can improve survival. Because pituitary carcinoma affects so few patients, it's hard to study which treatments might be effective. Taking part in a clinical trial of a new treatment may be a good option.

CA Geheimagent font family
Designed by Stefan Claudius in 2004
Cape Arcona
The Cape Arcona FoundryStefan Claudius and Thomas Schostok, both German, put amusement in first place when it comes to font design. In 2002, they established the font label Cape Arcona©, whose home is the coast of the fantasy state of Arcona where the two have appointed themselves president and king. Other than one might expect, Claudius and Schostok do not just design fun fonts: the Cape Arcona output includes text, script and pictogram typefaces.
This is a font that could well appear on the side of aircraft – perhaps on the planes of the national airline of Arcona. There are alternative forms of several letters and a second cut that has a 3D effect.
CA Aires
The majuscules of this font were inspired by a 1930s postcard. The lowercase letters are designed in the same, highly individual style adopted by Claudius.
CA Cula
For Claudius and Schostock, CA Cula continues the tradition of technical DIN Grotesque fonts. The "ink traps", particularly apparent in display sizes, are characteristic of Cula. The font is available in four weights, for each of which corresponding italics are available.
CA Emeralda Script
This retrofont was inspired by a 1950s advertisement. CA Emeralda Script is available both in italic and script versions.
CA Geheimagent
Not really a text font, but also not a headline font, this austere, stencil-like "secret agent" typeface is available in two weights with corresponding italic cuts.
CA No Dr.
Another Grotesque with technical overtones – for Thomas Schostok, No Dr. has all the diabolical characteristics of the (almost) namesake villain in the James Bond film, the poster of which provided the inspiration. There are two different widths and two different weights of this typeface.
CA Play
The five different cuts of this retrofont with their very different and yet corresponding letter forms invite users to play with them. Why not give it a try yourself?
CA Prologue
Stefan Claudius claims this is the sort of typeface that would be used by a postmodern typewriter. This stencil font is available in three widths.
CA Sensuell
Hairline-thin, this idiosyncratic but refined Grotesque is at its very best in larger sizes.
CA Viva Las Vegas
This font has been designed to simulate the effect of a neon sign, whereby the "Night" version is for "lights on" and the "Day" version is for "lights off".
CA Wolkenfluff
There are various available styles of this fat, balloon-like font. Gloss highlights can be added to the Regular version, while there are also Stencil and "Trash" versions.
CA Zaracusa
Originally designed as a CI font, this interesting although unassuming Grotesque family is particularly extensive. With 24 versions in different widths and weights, it has many potential applications.
CA Monodon
This stencil font consisting solely of straight lines is the work of Donald Beekman. Cape Arcona stresses that there are five different weights that can be used to introduce variety into texts, so that this font is anything other than monotonous.

Yes, I think a low supply like yours can be built up. What I'm not sure about is why it is low. Well, what I mean is that your supply is directly related to how much your breasts are stimulated to produce milk. Because you don't have as much milk as your son needs, you supplement with formula via the SNS. Using the SNS is supposed to help stimulate your breasts, but some babies figure out how to just suck the tube and not suck the breast. Is it possible that your son is doing that?
It's discouraging that all of the LCs you've contacted seem to have little experience with an SNS or LactAid. Have you considered asking your local LLL Leader for the names of LCs who could help?
In my first post, I said that you had two issues to address, but it looks like there is only one! That's good news. Since your son latches and sucks well at the breast, you do not need to focus on that. The challenge for you is increasing your supply (which requires stimulation via baby or pump, and possibly galactagogue(s)).
You're working hard for your baby!

I like this in the Knicks forum for a few days so people can get a chance to read it. Just dies over in the NBA forum.
Warriors made out like bandits, Toney Douglas for Crawford and Brooks? Crawford or Brooks are inconsistent scorers and so so defenders but 2 pretty good athletes with some potential for Toney D is a steal.
Wonder if Anthony leaving the Heat makes way for them to pick up Andrew Bynum? Oden is not ready they need a big man to replace JA.

This is "Keep the Change," a new feature by Nick "The Beer Man" Staskin. Nick is a beer man at Citizens Bank Park; he'll post weekly with observations from the fans at the park, trying to get a good sense of where the Phillies stand in the eyes of those who most matter.
Welcome to the second edition of "Keep the Change."
Don't look know, but going into their second short series in a week against the Mets, the Phils are the hottest team in the National League and have risen to the top of the NL East. What did we take out of last weekend's series? Well … not much … not much at all really after Sunday's rain, which hasn't left the area since, washing out the rubber match.
The Two-Game Split
Friday night, the excitement was in the air. Sadly, Chan Ho Park was on the mound. Last week, a couple readers questioned whether the fans knew anything about J.A. Happ. After another ugly start by Park, more and more fans are getting familiar the possibility of seeing Happ in the rotation. Phillies fans are generally a pretty well-educated bunch, and it doesn't take a Rhodes Scholar to see that Park won't be in the rotation for much longer. Joe Blanton's strong start Monday night against the Cardinals definitely did not help Park's status, either.
One fan summed up Park as "this year's Adam Eaton." Tough to argue with him. Hell, the Mets fans at The Bank were pretty happy when Charlie Manuel let Park work through his struggles, just because it meant more innings out of him.
Saturday, the Phils got to the Mets bullpen. The Achilles heel of New York was right back at it again. If you can leave K-Rod sitting in the bullpen, chances are you are going to put up some runs. If you told me the Phillies would manufacture a run without getting the ball out of the infield to win a game, I'd be pretty surprised. If you had told me it would come against the Mets bullpen … not as surprised.
The Rivalry … Slows Down?
Will the Mets fans dish it out as hard as we did last weekend? Tough to tell, but something was missing this weekend. I know it was early in the season, but it didn't seem as many New Yorkers made the trek down the Turnpike as they had in years past. I guess walking into the stadium of the World F'n Champions can be a little intimidating.
Finally, two random observations from walking the stadium:
- I did not see one attractive female Mets fan. Don't get me wrong, I'm not above looking at a woman regardless of if she likes the enemy. The Beerman's eyes don't discriminate. Could I date a Mets fan? Of course not, but I'd look. BUT THERE WERE NONE IN ATTENDANCE! The Phillies female followers did not disappoint, as always.
- Mets fans smell like hoagies. I don't know what it is. But all Mets fans smell like hoagies to me. When they walk past me, I just pick up a whiff of salami and onions. Go figure.
See you in the stands … or next week. Whichever comes first?
0 Comments
hahaha, "Mets fans smell like hoagies", thank you for making me laugh for the first time today!
I noticed a lot less Mets fans too.. I think it's more that Phillies fans want to keep their tickets and go the games this year, and not Mets fans are unwilling to come down..
I've been to too many Mets, RedSox, etc games where it seems like 50% of the fans.. aren't for the Phillies.. Hopefully that stops..
The only reason why the phillies won last year is beacuse wagner got hurt. If he was the closer the mets would have won not the phillies.
As a Mets fan, I sadly concede that when I've had a vigrorous workout, I do detect an odor of Italian Sub around me. God, I wish I was joking…
Last year was the phillies year this year its the mets. I can see it already the Newyork Mets Nl east division champions
krod is not the only good relif pitcher the mets have. they have putz. and by the way the mets have the best bullpen ERA in the National league
I agree with Don that there are a greater number of Phillies fans with season tickets which make it difficult for any fans (besides the Mets fans) to get tickets for a CBP game.
I see with the tonight's series opener at Citi Field, the Mets fans are making themselves heard here. No surprise.
How come the Mets didn't make the playoffs in 2007, when they did have Wagner?
While for the most part, the Mets pen is off to a solid start, it will take more than 4 weeks to lose its "running joke" status after the past couple of seasons.
well I'll be at the game tonight, rooting for the Phillies 😀
there are no attractive women who are mets fans AND there are no attractive men who are mets fans.
the lady mets fans smell like tuna salad sandwiches
Glad to read your stuff Nick, well done!
only one point of contention though…i thought Mets fans smell dirty feet
I feel like every mets fan I know is fat, lazy, and has jungles of hair growing off their backs and coming out from the top of their shirts.
love this column!
and hey beer man, two of my own observations:
1. there are TONS of very very attractive ladies at every phils game. It's become another great reason to head to the ballpark. Funny, but I don't remember so many nice looking ladies in short shorts and Phils t-shirts at the Vet. lol
2. Mets fans smell like HEROES. because that's what those idiots call a hoagie up there. don't even disgrace our local dialect by applying it to those greasy filthy losers.
Haha two WS in 120 years, most immature fans in sports, you all smell like cheessteak and feces, and your city is filled with gays. Just figured i would add my seven year old perspective on your rediculous blog. Hey whoever you are that runs this blog…you'll always be a no body, and you are extremely unprofessional, just like your entire filthy city.
Oh and your city's most recognizable figure is a made up character.
"most immature fans in sports"
"you all smell like cheessteak and feces, and your city is filled with gays"
I love the internet.
World Champions.
And if you pulled your heads out of your chessy, spunk filled cracks, you'd see way more attractive mets fans.
bragging about having the mind of a seven year old isn't that bright.
does he want it back?
Yea i do, you can talk to me im here still dumbass.
NOBODY* is one word.
Your infield is filled with ..
Don shouldn't you be teaching your class and not on a blog?
Our city's most recognizable figure is made up? which one do you think is fiction, is it Benjamin Franklin or the Liberty Bell? maybe you should brush up on your history books.
If we won the head-to-head Season Series last year, I'd be running my mouth too..
Instead, the Phillies only won the World Series, which I guess is alright
Did the Mets put up a banner or get rings for winning beating us head-to-head last year? I heard that they didn't… but that can't be correct..
Winning the head-to-head, heck, winning the NL East doesn't look like this:
This is what the playoffs must look like to Mets fans:
Last time i checked the Mets have the same number of "rings" and "banners" so i can run my mouth until one of you trys to put your cheesesteak in it.
And yeah Don your so smart, send me a picture with two all-stars trying to make fun of the mets…keep giving your city a good name man!
Phillies suck. Go mets. 2 WS in 120 years. Howard should get tested for roids. And utley is a scumbag, heard he was born in philly. See you later guys!
They look pretty cool .. I wonder if those clothes also come in MENS though?
So… Jose Reyes gets his Dugout-dance-moves AND his clothing from Michael Jackson.. thats cool
I saw a guy wearing a Phils jersey holding a girl's hand who was wearing a Cards jersey during the game last night. Why can't we all just get along?
Here is a fine picture of David Wright, on October 29th…the night we won the World Series.
As you can see here, Wright is having the last laugh, and showing us that the Mets won 11 of the more important head-to-head games last season.. Postseason games don't matter to the Mets
These Mets fans are absolutely ridiculous! They all smell bcause they are from queens. Have you people ever heard of a shower? People who root for the Mets are the fans who couldn't afford Yankees tickets for years so the followed the rank and file or should I say scank and scum into that toilet bowl that they used to call a stadium. What is queens famous for besides the dam airport that used to ruin broadcast of the games. Philly has tons of reconizable figures, what are the mets known for besides playing second fiddle to the Yankees, choking, and blowing leads with a week to play. To all Mets fans BOO F*CK YOU!
I'd rather smell like a hoagie than a Cheesteak Pretzel! You scum bag Philly people wish you could afford to live in NY! You ALLOWED over 50% of your stadium to be filled with Mets fans in the past, but now all the sudden you guys are "fans" and decide to actually go to games. At least we are not front runners, we stick through the bad pen years and all. I'll gladly take David Wright over Pedro Felise; I'll take Jose Reyes over Jimmy "ExMVP Hitting .210" Rollins. Yea, we are gonna run away with the title starting now. Screw you fat cheesteak lovin, pretzel eatin, water ice spillin pigs
spelling is overrated
so is being above .500
i know you met fans agree with me right?
You're right Evan. But as blogs go, it's inevitable that there will be trash talk precipitated by Beer Man's remark.. "Mets fans smell like hoagies." When I read that, I knew what was coming. Oh well, let them have their fun. The fans rivalry right? 😉
You people live in the poorest bourough in NY, it is certainly not Manhattan..lol get your facts straight our stadium is never filled with 50% Mets fans. Maybe you have that fact confused with the fact that your fans cant fill your new stadium. If you guys hate Philly so much why do you pay crazy prices for horrible seats off of stub hub to come to Philly, maybe its because we have better looking girls.
it appears that the mets fan is beating us with experience.
vapid, mouth breathing, myopic, sister kissing, karmically challenged, miscreant mets fans….
too much like conversing with a little bus inhabitant…
to clarify..what i meant to say was
go to school
win some games
then come try to talk shit on the wfc's
this is great. not one mets fan has come on here and denied smelling like a hoagie (with extra mayo and onions), or that their female counterparts smell like tuna.
and NY2 the Heart, thank you for complimenting all of the wonderful foods that our city is known for. now go enjoy a tv dinner in your trailer in north jersey.
Ok, NOW I'm laughing, I knew you guys could cheer me up!
"spelling is overrated" hahahahahaha!!!!!!
lol chessy….
Oh, GrrrrumpyMiner, we aren't talking about you, I think I can speak for most of us there…..
Good lord, what are you guys, 8 years old?
Don, I love these pictures you keep bringing up.
Great post Nick! haha
Mike, (just plain, not SJ), I am immature for my age, I'll be the first to admit that!
Hate the phillies, the fans well 90% of you are alright, there is 10% of you who are just a disgrace but that said…
i concede the chicks at citizens bank park are by far the hottest, its actually something i look fwd too, makes tolerating that F-ud 10% you worth it.
Gays? Greasy things in my mouth? I love Philly!
we may smell but atleast we are not rednecks. Every phillie fan i see is a redneck and they have very bad shouthern voice
THE NEXT ADAM EATON? At least Eaton he had a bunch of quality starts before we got rid of him! Park has been totally useless…..worse than Eaton.
No, I'm not Adam Eaton.
Man with all these pictures of me and Jose I'm glad the ones of us in bed together didn't get out yet.
I know all the Phillie fans are sound uneducated. they are all probally ditch diggers and when they are not working they are watching jerry springer
Hey Terry,
"I know all the Phillie fans are sound uneducated."
Great job of sounding educated.
No attractive Mets fans HA. As far as uneducated, I am working on a PhD, I also came from humble roots. I CAN afford to live in NY, but why would I want to? And of course we allowed Mets fans to come, I mean – c'mon, we have to pay for our team so we can take another trip to the Post-season while you all root against us because your team is also sitting at home rooting with you!
they just don't sound uneducated they are.
Phillie fans are horrible there stadium can only sell out if they have a good year or if they play the mets beacuse half the stadium is mets fans
It sounds like all the phillie fans come from alabama
Did the 4th grade get out early today in NY?
the phillie fans look so ugly with there stupid buck theet and the woman look like elephants
"Phillie fans are horrible there stadium can only sell out if they have a good year or if they play the mets beacuse half the stadium is mets fans"
What does this even mean? That good baseball teams sell more tickets? In 2005, before the Mets had their brief stint with good baseball, you were ranked 8th in attendance, right behind the freaking Padres.
2006, 2007 and 2008 people were waiting for you to win something and Shea was right up there at 3rd in attendance.
Now, that your team is a bunch of ugly, underachieving nobodys you're right back down to being 7th in attendance when–gee, look at that–the Philadelphia Phillies are right there under the #1 New York Yankees.
Largest city in the USA and you guys can't even fool Asian tourists and families from the Mid-West to go to your gay baseball games.
New York schools had a full day.. I think it's those North Jersey schools that got out early today
"they just don't sound uneducated they are."
… you mean, "They don't JUST sound uneducated, they are uneducated!" ?
Buck Theet.. is that what the Mets players choke on every September?
Are there any intelligent Mets fans that have actual input towards this series?
Or just people arguing over who smells worse??
hey don I think jerry springer is on soon you might miss it. oh wait you can't afford a tv.
i'm sorry chase the mets outdrew the yankees last year
there is no way the phillies had more attendance than the mets
Mets Fans < Phillies Fans. It's simple. So a New York fan should get it. Stupid clowns.
I'll be at the game tonight. Go phils!!
i just find it hilarious that mets fans have the gall to come on a phillies blog, not just the mlb website but a completely separate blog, and state that we have no class and are uneducated. We are the WS champs, 1st place in the NL East, scored most runs in the NL, and you are a game below .500 and TWO AND A HALF game behind us. your argument about how your team is so wonderful and great just make you look stupid, please save yourselves the embarrasment.
BTW. 2008 attendance rankings…Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Cardinals, Phillies, Angels, Cubs…There is only one stat/thing that matters though. Who wins in the end. We won that statistic. Go away you butt pirate met fans.
No you didn't:
The most annoying trait of Mets fans is their inability to realize exactly who their team is. You spend so much of your lives hearing shit from Yankees fans that you start to absorb their attitude. The Yankees, there is no arguing, are the class of baseball. Strong brand, 26 rings, always in the mix. The Mets, you're a joke to most followers of baseball. Especially recently with your September exploits, tendency to sign old, washed up superstars to big contracts, etc. Most baseball jokes end with the punchline: "The Mets." You've serially done nothing in over 20 years but like to thump your chest like you're coming off a Championship year.
Phillies and 10,000 losses. Most of us think it's funny and take pride in following a team that's even been around that long. The Abreu years, the Thome years, we had ok teams but never believed our own BS. Always err'd on the side that something wasn't going to go right and it didn't. Red Sox fans pre-2004, die hard fans but you wouldn't find a single one that would brag about being world beaters. The Nats, the Bucs, the Royals, the Rays. It's hard to dislike fans of those teams because when they're bad, they know they're bad. The players act like players on the Nats, the Bucs and the Royals. You would think one World Series appearance in the last two decades and two MONUMENTAL collapses in a row would humble some of you jackasses.
"i'm sorry chase the mets outdrew the yankees last year"-terri…..Edumacait yerself. Learn your sh!t before you talk it.
Who is Hoshaque?
Hi vito. Welcome to our blog. Here are 2009's current attendance records:
Rank Team Total Avg PCT
3 Philadelphia Phillies 590,408 42,172 96.9%
7 New York Mets 458,408 38,200 91.0%
All of that with your new Brooklyn Dodger stadium too. Hell, when the bank opened in 2004, we ranked #4 in attendance and we stunk then.
I'm guessing that "terry" is a 14 year-old fat girl from North Jersey ?
We should just start a blank thread before each Phils-Mets series. Headline: Talk trash here. No need for body text.
I've been saying it all off-season.. the Royals are legit!!
Pirates and Nats are bad though
That's a good idea.. and other posts for actual conversations!
There hasn't been any baseball talk all day..
Did you see the percentages on that attendance chart? Phils home attendance at 97%… that's pretty damn impressive. Red Sox cleaned up with 104%.
Hoagies… we're bringing the Seoul Train t'night… watch out!
Keep these articles coming, they are great
Mets Fans are not from New York, they are North Jersey Trash…New Yorkers are Yankees fan.
Either way they are bums
"the phillie fans look so ugly with there stupid buck theet and the woman look like elephants"
Really terry? Is this all you do all day, post comments on Phillies blogs? If you actually had graduated from 3rd grade, your sentence would have looked like this:
"the PHILLIES fans look so ugly with THEIR stupid buck TEETH and the WOMEN look like elephants"
notice all of the words you spelled wrong are capitalized.
But hey, 4 out of 17 isn't that bad, but of course it's going to be the Mets record in the last twenty games of the season this year.
tim, can we get a spellcheck on the beer man's post?
"Don't look know…"
seriously, no good… and met fans are from NY… queens, some brooklyn, long island… jersey people, westchester people are yankee fans. Being that you're all from philly, your lack of knowledge and sheer ignorance on what goes in NY is getting out of control. Before you dump all over the 'burbs of NY, i've been to philly… the city, the burbs, all of it… and it's the same shit. The same boring people doing the same boring shit… save your venom for the mets players, better served there.
hey cm go back to your trailer and watch the Phillies get shutout by the best pitcher in baseball.
You guys are the ones on the Phillies Nation website.. right??
I'm not on any Mets blogs arguing with people.. but I guess I can't really blame you guys.
like I said earlier:
"If we won the head-to-head Season Series last year, I'd be running my mouth too.. "
tell me how my spelling was.
Terry the Hut
cm should change his name to PHILLIES fan since the last game of the 2007 season. You are not all real fans you are just frontrunners. I know this for a fact beacuse in a suburb of Philly. In 2005 and 2006 in NEVER saw someone with a Phillie hat or a shirt. In fact sometimes I would forget there was a team here. But now every has all the shirts and hats and I will bet when they loose this year I will forget about them again.
sorry i forgot to put i live in a subrub of philly
I think people at the Fightins or Birdland should make a Head-To-Head trophy. It will be some styrofoam cups duct taped together and one of those mini baseball helmets you used to get sundaes in at the Ground Round at the top. The first one will have a boring rectangle on the front with the words "Inaugural Trophy" on a 45 degree angle in an Arial font. We could call it the Jackie Robinson Memorial Rotunda Head-To-Head Award.
I know it's no World Series trophy but it'll have to do.
Best pitcher in baseball, best head-to-head record, third baseman with the nicest eyebrows, blah, blah, blah.
Dear Nick Staskin,
In your blog, "Keep the Change: Hey New Yawk," you've posited nothing more than an insubstantial biased rant about the Mets and a hollow interpretation of their phenotype and odor. I expected to read an article that was both more objective and informative, especially from your respected blog-site, which I frequently visit when the Mets play the Phillies. Your lack of professionalism is both deplorable and insulting to those fans that are actually seeking some Philadelphian insight (if any) into tonight's game at Citi Field. Your defiant and sophomoric behavior is indicative of the "Philly trash" most New Yorkers are accustomed to seeing. With that said, you should apologize to your fellow Philadelphians as you make you, your city, and your blog site look like a joke.
As for your hypothesis about why not many Mets fans traveled to Citizen's Ban Park, have you not considered the economic crisis that's afflicting almost every individual? Must your reasons be constricted to the rivalry itself? I'm sure that your championship has deterred some Mets fans from attending your stadium, but I'd, personally, be more afraid of the drunken fans that attend your stadium. Nothing says, "come to my stadium" like several inebriated Phillies fans that are almost jumping out of their seats to shove last year's championship in the Mets fans' faces! I'm not like most Mets fans that are smug about your championship; you won, and it was well-deserved. What I AM smug about is biased writers and their verbal diarrhea that lacks any level of objectivity!
In any event, may the best team win the NL East! You're all entitled to your opinions.
David, the Mets fan from Queens must have gone to college at one of Philadelphia's fine colleges or universities.. as that was one impressive rant!
Chase Mutley had me laughing with the "third baseman with the nicest eyebrows" !
The internet was much better before blogs because serious business. It's a blog, not the Wall Street Journal.
Phillies Nation, not brought to you by Verizon.
hi philly will lose
I enjoyed David the Mets fan from Queens rant. In fact, he was right about several things, such as how insubstantial the digs at the Mets were in the original post.
However, David himself went on to make similar superficial digs at Philadelphia. David, as a man who can write so well, you should realize the futility of such remarks, which only serve to fan the flames of shit talk.
Both cities have loudmouth misanthropes who smell. Both cities have drunken fans that will harass visiting rivals (I visited Shea a few times last year to that effect). Surprisingly, both teams have had shitty seasons and good seasons. This is the ugly side of rivalry. The side that has nothing to do with baseball and everything to do with ignorance.
I wonder how many hits the Phillies will have against Johan tonignt 3 or 4??????
If they are lucky they get about 5.
David the mets fan….who cares who wins the NL east…that's the difference betwen the Phils and the Muts right now, we want to repeat as World Champs, you want to beat the Phillies soooo bad!
I concur with everything you've said in your succinct, but efficacious post. When one cannot efficiently explicate how he or she feels or what he or she thinks about a certain issue, person, team etc., he or she will resort to laconic statements that are most likely pejorative; I guess my mentioned description of ineptitude qualifies as ignorance. I was guilty of such a rash reaction, regardless of its subtlety; I guess it wasn't that subtle if you were able to notice it, Evan.
What was your opinion of Shea Stadium? I solemnly miss Shea. I suggest that you visit Citi Field at your soonest convenience as it is an aesthetically beautiful stadium with various amenities. It looks and feels very similar to Citizen's Bank Park, but nonetheless has a unique vibe to it. The stadium security is very proper and responds to any minute disturbance throughout the game. For the prices we, Mets fans, pay to attend those ball games, I'm glad that they're escorting pernicious drunks out of the stadium.
Do you think that Chan Ho Park will have a prolific performance tonight, or will he blunder mightily like he did this past weekend? I'm curious as to how the Phillies batters will respond to Santana's junk, given that this is his second year in the league. Many sports commentators on SNY are talking about Lidge's seemingly new-found fallibility and how hitters have lost their initial fear of him – what are they saying in Philly? You guys are fairing well, regardless of Hamels' injury. I how the NL East standings will change when both Hamels returns healthy and Ollie Perez finds his groove once again.
I'm thinking shutout.
I hope your right Vito
Using rudimentary logic, in order to win the World Series, we must win either the NL East or the Wild Card. Seeing as the Phillies will win several games, we most likely will have to beat the Phillies to win the NL East. Also, seeing as the Wild Card will (arguably) come out of the NL Central, we'd need to beat the Phillies to also gain some edge on the Wild Card. Henceforth, we need to beat the Phillies to win the World Series.
I know that my argument is inductive, but it nonetheless holds true.
Terry, I really hope you're not physically or mentally handicapped. I will feel bad calling you an idiot and a moron. First of all, The Phillies are the OLDEST team in baseball.(Actually The Pirates are, but they were called a different name, we have the longest going name) You do not survive 127 years in one place without having a consistent and large fan base. To say that we are all frontrunners is a joke. Second, please kindly proof read your responses. Look for grammar and spelling. I suggest a dictionary for the spelling and a 5th grade English book for the proper grammar. Lastly, please go to a Mets blog and chirp. nobody on this site really cares about what you are saying. All you are doing is making yourself look foolish, and are giving reasons for people to rip on you.
Vito who pitches tomorrow for the mets??
Is that Jason Bay writing to me?
I belive that Mike Pelfry Pitches next
I'm thinking terry is a kid… that's really the only explanation.
I blow baboons for enjoyment i recieve from it. I like it a lot.
My mom touches me and i like it a little. does that make me wierd?
when i am alone at night, i think about fernando tatis, a lot. bad thoughts. dirty thoughts. thoughts of him and jose reyes high fiving each other seductivly
thinking of mr. met makes me want to rub penut butter on my baseballs and encourage my dog to lick it off. mmm Mr Met and penut bitter. mmm yea.
Who is Fernando Tatis?
LOL…this is some good stuff. Dan…the story is in good humor…get over it. I've done my fair share of straight-forward reporting for different sites such as Philly.com and ComcastSportsNet.com. This is a Phillies fan blogsite, and the weekly column is served as a way to lighten up what can be a long season…a very long season if you are a Mets fan. Getting ready to watch the game now, but I'll be looking forward to checking the rest of these rants when I get back…
…but thanks for reading
lol thats funny
who ever wrote in my name has a sense good sense of humor. very funny
you live in a subrub, terry?

Iron Pyrite sulfate release into streams
I have recently become interested in this...
Last weekend, I was exploring a drainage in the cherokee nf, when I came across a sign in the upper elevations explaining that the stream had been contaminated by acid run-off from iron pyrite, and to be careful when consuming the water.
I was discussing this with Bryce Gibson (some may remember him from the anglers trading co in western plaza in knoxville), and he told me that he remembered a stream near Alum Cave being classified as a dead stream because of a similar sulfate release. He said he thought it had to do with road construction, but he wasn't for sure.
I didn't have my ph meter with me, but next time I go back to the area, I will be sure to take a reading for the upper and lower elevations.
I'd like to do a little more research on the topic...does anyone have any good sites to reference with further information on other streams affected or the amount of water it takes to dilute the acid?
Pyrite exposed to the atmosphere during mining and excavation reacts with oxygen and water to form sulfate resulting in acid .....

I had found the wikipedia site, but I was looking for something more specific to how it relates to aquatic life and area streams affected.
The old man might have some insight into that. I'll try to remember to ask him the next time I see him. I'm certain he has dealt with that issue in the past.
I got no style, I'm strictly roots.
Grannyknot--Presumably this is what is known as Anakeesta or "hot" rock. when laid bare and exposed to the elements it leaches out with bad results. There are numerous examples within the Park. In the aftermath of the completion of the Newfound Gap Road, some of the streams on the N. C. side which got leachate from the parking lot at the Gap suffered mightily for years. Indeed, Kephart Prong (then known as Mud Creek, perhaps from so much siltation) was so badly affected that the CCCs eventually shut down the fish hatchery located there. In the aftermath of a massive flood and landslide (could have been 1950 but I don't remember the date off the top of my head) Alum Cave Bluffs Creek was devoid of trout for many years. It is still marginal for them, at best. I briefly cover these two examples in my book, and of course hot rock was originally a key factor in stopping construction on the Road to Nowhere (one time where it did some good). I'm no geologist, but I think the Anakeesta Formation, which ranges through much of the Smokies, is what is in play here.
Jim Casada
Jim, Anakeesta is the exact term I was looking for.
A Tennessee Outdoor series hiking guide that you edited references the stream I mentioned in the Cherokee NF.
Here is some info out there
Found this ( quotes below) old NPS bulletin floating around the internet still for some reason. The briefing is dated (92 I think) but does reference other studies that you may be able to get access to through Google Scholar or even the Park. It will probaly run you through Springerlink and such where you can get some things free, need to register for others, and then pay yet for others. If you contact the resource mgmt folks with the park, I wouldn't be surprised if the have scanned copies that maybe they'd share.
As far as amt of water to get to the point of dilution is the solution, it is probably dependent somewhat on seasons and rainfall. Low flow conditions and shortly there after those conditions probably will find effects further downstream as the baseflow would likely be more concentrated. After a good flushing, wetter periods, the effects probably don't reach as far. Hope this is useful.
"(13) = = = = Great Smokies Streams Acidified by Anakeesta Formation Exposures = = = =
by Darlene J. Kucken, Richard P. Maas, and Steven C. Patch
Exposed Anakeesta Formations, located within the Great Smoky Mountains NP (GSMNP) along Anakeesta Ridge, have long been known to cause negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Anakeesta Formations are composed of pyritic and carbonaceous slate and phyllite, which when exposed to air and water oxidize and form leachate containing sulfuric acid, iron, and other heavy metals such as zinc, manganese, and aluminum. In 1964, when a section of U.S. Highway 441 through the GSMNP between Cherokee, NC and Gatlinburg, TN was reconstructed, large Anakeesta Formations were disturbed and used as roadfill material at Newfound Gap. The chemical composition of Beech Flats Creek (BFC), previously a favored pristine trout stream, was severely and perhaps permanently altered by this construction disturbance, rendering it virtually lifeless.
The headwaters of BFC begin just below Clingman's Dome Road, flow under U.S. Hwy 441 at Newfound Gap, and eventually flow into the Oconoluftee River. The extent of stream chemistry alteration was first documented in 1975/76 (Bacon and Maas, 1979), when an attempt was made to determine stream recovery as a function of downstream distance from the source of Anakeesta. A follow-up water chemistry study was conducted from spring 1968 through summer 1990 (Maas et al., 1990) (Kucken, 1991) and the results compared to the 1975/76 study to determine whether significant changes in stream conditions had occurred over the 15-year period."
The abstract for a report by Mass is the following;
Contamination of Great Smoky Mountains Trout Streams by Exposed Anakeesta Formations1
J. R. Bacon and R. P. Maas2
Anakeesta formations, prevalent geologic deposits in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), when exposed to air and water release an acid and heavy metal containing leachate into several GSMNP streams, rendering them virtually lifeless. Anakeesta pyrite affecting Beech Flats Creek was exposed during the construction of U.S. Highway 441, while exposures affecting Alum Cave Creek and Walker Prong are naturally occurring.
The road cut on U.S. 441 at Beech Flats Creek acts as point source of various contaminants. The acidity increases 100-fold (pH 6.7 to 4.7) in the several hundred meters where the stream flows through a road cut fill area. Manganese and zinc were the main metallic ions introduced at the road cut. The zinc increased from 6 to nearly 200 ppb and the manganese increased from an undetectable level to over 250 ppb. Seasonal variations below the road show a high concentration near 500 ppb in the summer to a low concentration near 100 ppb in the winter for both manganese and zinc. Both manganese and zinc showed the dilution effect expected going downstream away from the road cut. Alum Cave Creek and Walker Prong showed much lower levels of manganese and zinc and no point source could be located.
The results of the present study should prove useful to National Park personnel in making management decisions. This is especially important in view of several proposed new roads in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

New Criteria for Identifying Teachers as "Highly Qualified"
As you may know, ISBE was recently advised by representatives of the U.S. Department of Education that our existing criteria for identifying teachers as "highly qualified" for assignments in core academic subjects are not acceptable. I recognize how frustrating it has been for you not to have had a firm basis for the upcoming reporting of "highly qualified" data in connection with the School Report Card. Today we have updated information for you to use. The new criteria that we have submitted to the U.S. Department of Education and that we intend to use are posted in two formats at:
l http://www.isbe.net/pdf/25_App_D.pdf
l http://www.isbe.net/pdf/NCLB_highly_qualified.pdf
I strongly recommend that you report information regarding the status of your teachers with this draft as the point of reference.
The existing Illinois criteria are found in the rules for certification, and ISBE cannot complete a change in those rules prior to your reporting deadline. We will therefore need to be progressing through the rulemaking process at the same time as we determine whether there is going to be any further information forthcoming, either from the Department of Education in general or from the Office of Special Education Programs with regard to special education teachers.
The major difference between the existing criteria and the new version is the increased emphasis on subject-area competency for special education teachers. We will not be able to treat special education as a core academic area of assignment as expressed in the current rules. Similarly, career and technical education teachers for whose courses credit is given in core academic subjects cannot be considered "highly qualified" without demonstrating competence in those subjects.
Within the "HOUSSE" for veteran teachers, we have been required to decrease the total points available for teaching experience. On the other hand, we have been able to identify additional professional development activities for which we believe points can legitimately be counted. Also, in the revised version, each teacher becomes a veteran teacher and can take advantage of HOUSSE once he or she has attained one year's teaching experience.
In closing, let me say once again how much we at ISBE regret the lack of certainty that surrounds the identification of teachers as "highly qualified". We will do all we can in the coming weeks to make the available information as clear as possible. If you need assistance after reviewing the material we have posted, please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. You will receive the fastest response we can manage. Thank you for your patience.

- Abstract
- We report the discovery of a very bright (m_R = 22.2) Lyman break galaxy at z = 3.03 that appears to be a massive system in a late stage of merging. Deep imaging reveals multiple peaks in the brightness profile with angular separations of ~0.''8 (~25 h^-1 kpc comoving). In addition, high signal-to-noise ratio rest-frame UV spectroscopy shows evidence for ~5 components based on stellar photospheric and ISM absorption lines with a velocity dispersion of sigma ~460 km s^-1 for the three strongest components. Both the dynamics and high luminosity, as well as our analysis of a LCDM numerical simulation, suggest a very massive system with halo mass M ~ 10^13 M_solar. The simulation finds that all halos at z = 3 of this mass contain sub-halos in agreement with the properties of these observed components and that such systems typically evolve into M ~ 10^14 M_solar halos in groups and clusters by z = 0. This discovery provides a rare opportunity to study the properties and individual components of z ~ 3 systems that are likely to be the progenitors to brightest cluster galaxies.

I've heard that cereal is very constipating & not the most nutritious anyway so was going to start with avocado or veggies instead. ANyone do this ? Also when you started did you just start with one meal or all three? She is at daycare 3 days & they have their own food (cereal, veggies, fruit etc..) but at first I thought I'd start her on solids at dinner with us & then work up to other meals?

Denshoku is the beginning of a new vision for wrist wear. Inspired by the neon skylines of Shinjuku, Denshoku combines high quality materials and advanced technology with intuitive design for people who want to create their own style.
Orange acrylic bars emerge through the face like neon lights, achieving a perfect balance with the custom made strap, made from aluminum and inlayed with stainless steel. The hairline brushed finish on the solid aluminum case captures the quality of the design.
Twelve light bars present the time in a simple, easy to read format. Press the button and the LEDs behind the acrylic diffuse and illuminate the bars three times. First hours are presented, then groups of ten minutes, then single minutes. The speed of movement can be accelerated by pressing the button again. To find out more about how to read the time, take a look at the interactive manual above.
Denshoku means illumination in Japanese. When the animation mode is activated, Denshoku's light bars illuminate vertically once every minute for twelve minutes after the time is shown.
This design also features an energy saving mode allowing you to control the LED brightness to lengthen battery life and is available with a soft black or bright silver alumite finish.
The Kisai brand made its debut in Tokyo in November 2008. A dynamic series for independent people, Kisai is for those who want to turn away from dictated fashion trends. Designed in Tokyo, Kisai watches are made to a high quality standard from imaginative ideas.

Editor's Note: this article is adapted from Budi's self-published book on Tomcat internals. You can find more information on his web site.
A web server is also called a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server
because it uses HTTP to communicate with its clients, which are usually web
browsers. A Java-based web server uses two important classes,
java.net.Socket and
java.net.ServerSocket, and
communicates through HTTP messages. Therefore, this article starts by
discussing of HTTP and the two classes. Afterwards, I'll explain the simple
web server application that accompanies this article.
HTTP is the protocol that allows web servers and browsers to send and receive data over the Internet. It is a request and response protocol--the client makes a request and the server responds to the request. HTTP uses reliable TCP connections, by default on TCP port 80. The first version of HTTP was HTTP/0.9, which was then overridden by HTTP/1.0. The current version is HTTP/1.1, which is defined by RFC 2616(.pdf).
This section covers HTTP 1.1 briefly; enough to make you understand the messages sent by the web server application. If you are interested in more details, read RFC 2616.
In HTTP, the client always initiates a transaction by establishing a connection and sending an HTTP request. The server is in no position to contact a client or to make a callback connection to the client. Either the client or the server can prematurely terminate a connection. For example, when using a web browser, you can click the Stop button on your browser to stop the download process of a file, effectively closing the HTTP connection with the web server.
An HTTP request consists of three components:
An example HTTP request is:
POST /servlet/default.jsp HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/plain; text/html
Accept-Language: en-gb
Connection: Keep-Alive
Host: localhost
Referer: http://localhost/ch8/SendDetails.htm
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 98)
Content-Length: 33
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
The method-URI-Protocol/Version appears as the first line of the request.
POST /servlet/default.jsp HTTP/1.1
Related Reading
HTTP: The Definitive Guide
POST is the request method,
/servlet/default.jsp represents the URI and
the Protocol/Version section.
Each HTTP request can use one of the many request methods, as specified in
the HTTP standards. The HTTP 1.1 supports seven types of request:
DELETE, and
POST are the most commonly used in Internet applications.
The URI specifies an Internet resource completely. A URI is usually
interpreted as being relative to the server's root directory. Thus, it should
always begin with a forward slash (
/). A URL is actually a type of
URI. The protocol version
represents the version of the HTTP protocol being used.
The request header contains useful information about the client environment and the entity body of the request. For example, it could contain the language for which the browser is set, the length of the entity body, and so on. Each header is separated by a carriage return/linefeed (CRLF) sequence.
A very important blank line (CRLF sequence) comes between the headers and the entity body. This line marks the beginning of the entity body. Some Internet programming books consider this CRLF the fourth component of an HTTP request.
In the previous HTTP request, the entity body is simply the following line:
The entity body could easily become much longer in a typical HTTP request.
Similar to requests, an HTTP response also consists of three parts:
The following is an example of an HTTP response:
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 1998 13:13:33 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Last-Modified: Mon, 11 Jan 1998 13:23:42 GMT
Content-Length: 112
<title>HTTP Response Example</title>
Welcome to Brainy Software
The first line of the response header is similar to the first line of the request header. The first line tells you that the protocol used is HTTP version 1.1, the request succeeded (200 = success), and that everything went okay.
The response headers contain useful information similar to the headers in the request. The entity body of the response is the HTML content of the response itself. The headers and the entity body are separated by a sequence of CRLFs.
A socket is an endpoint of a network connection. A socket enables an
application to read from and write to the network. Two software applications
residing on two different computers can communicate with each other by sending
and receiving byte streams over a connection. To send a message to another
application, you need to know its IP address, as well as the port number of its
socket. In Java, a socket is represented by the
To create a socket, you can use one of the many constructors of the
Socket class. One of these constructors accepts the host name and
the port number:
public Socket(String host, int port)
host is the remote machine name or IP address, and
port is the port number of the remote application. For example, to
connect to yahoo.com at port 80, you would construct the following socket:
new Socket("yahoo.com", 80);
Once you create an instance of the
Socket class successfully,
you can use it to send and receive streams of bytes. To send byte streams, you
must first call the
Socket class'
method to obtain a
java.io.OutputStream object. To send text to a
remote application, you often want to construct a
java.io.PrintWriter object from the
object returned. To receive byte streams from the other end of the connection,
you call the
Socket class'
getInputStream method, which
returns a
The following snippet creates a socket that can communicate with a local
HTTP server (127.0.0.1 denotes a local host), sends an HTTP request, and
receives the response from the server. It creates a
object to hold the response, and prints it to the console.
Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", "8080");
OutputStream os = socket.getOutputStream();
boolean autoflush = true;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( socket.getOutputStream(), autoflush );
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader( socket.getInputStream() ));
// send an HTTP request to the web server
out.println("GET /index.jsp HTTP/1.1");
out.println("Host: localhost:8080");
out.println("Connection: Close");
// read the response
boolean loop = true;

while (loop) {
if ( in.ready() ) {
int i=0;
while (i!=-1) {
i = in.read();
sb.append((char) i);

Note that to get a proper response from the web server, you need to send an HTTP request that complies with the HTTP protocol. If you have read the previous section, "The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)," you can understand the HTTP request in the code above.
ServerSocket Class
Socket class represents a "client" socket; a socket that
you construct whenever you want to connect to a remote server application. If
you want to implement a server application, such as an HTTP server or an FTP
server, you need a different approach. This is because your server must stand
by all the time, as it does not know when a client application will try to
connect to it.
For this purpose, you need to use the
class. This is an implementation of a server socket. A server socket waits for
a connection request from a client. Once it receives a connection request, it
creates a
Socket instance to handle the communication with the
To create a server socket, you need to use one of the four constructors the
ServerSocket class provides. You need to specify the IP address
and port number on which the server socket will listen. Typically, the IP
address will be 127.0.0.1, meaning that the server socket will be listening on
the local machine. The IP address the server socket is listening on is referred
to as the binding address. Another important property of a server socket is its
backlog, which is the maximum queue length for incoming connection requests
before the server socket starts to refuse incoming requests.
One of the constructors of the
ServerSocket class has the
following signature:
public ServerSocket(int port, int backLog, InetAddress bindingAddress);
For this constructor, the binding address must be an instance of
java.net.InetAddress. An easy way to construct an
InetAddress object is by calling its static method
getByName, passing a
String containing the host name:
The following line of code constructs a
ServerSocket that
listens on port 8080 of the local machine with a backlog of 1.
new ServerSocket(8080, 1, InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1"));
Once you have a
ServerSocket instance, you can tell it to wait
for incoming connection requests by calling the
accept method.
This method will only return when there is a connection request. It returns an
instance of the
Socket class. This
Socket object can
then be used to send and receive byte streams from the client application, as
explained in the The Socket Class. Practically, the
accept method is the only method used in the application
accompanying this article.
Source Code
Download the HowWebServersWork.zip file for the example application.
Our web server application is part of the
ex01.pyrmont package
and consists of three classes:
The entry point of this application (the static
main method) is
in the
HttpServer class. It creates an instance of
HttpServer and calls its
await method. As the name
await waits for HTTP requests on a designated port,
processes them, and sends responses back to the clients. It keeps waiting until
a shutdown command is received. (The method name
await is used
instead of
wait because
wait is an important method
in the
System.Object class for working with threads.)
The application only sends static resources, such as HTML and image files, from a specified directory. It supports no headers (such as dates or cookies).
We'll now take a look at the three classes in the following subsections.
HttpServer Class
HttpServer class represents a web server and can serve
static resources found in the directory indicated by the public static final
WEB_ROOT and all subdirectories under it.
WEB_ROOT is
initialized as follows:
public static final String WEB_ROOT =
System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "webroot";
The code listings include a directory called webroot that contains some static resources that you can use for testing this application. You can also find a servlet that will be used for my next article, "How Servlet Containers Work."
To request a static resource, type the following URL in your browser's Address or URL box:
If you are sending a request from a different machine from the one running
your application,
machineName is the name or IP address of the
computer running this application. If your browser is on the same machine, you
can use
localhost for the
port is 8080 and
staticResource is the name of the
file requested and must reside in
For instance, if you are using the same computer to test the application and
you want to ask the
HttpServer to send the index.html file,
use the following URL:
To stop the server, send a shutdown command from a web browser by typing the
pre-defined string in the browser's Address or URL box, after the
host:port section of the URL. The shutdown command is defined by
SHUTDOWN static final variable in the
private static final String SHUTDOWN_COMMAND = "/SHUTDOWN";
Therefore, to stop the server, you can use:
Now, let's have a look at the
await method that is given in Listing 1.1. The explanation of the code is to be found right after the listing.
Listing 1.1. The
HttpServer class'
public void await() {
ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
int port = 8080;
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port, 1,
catch (IOException e) {
// Loop waiting for a request
while (!shutdown) {
Socket socket = null;
InputStream input = null;
OutputStream output = null;
try {
socket = serverSocket.accept();
input = socket.getInputStream();
output = socket.getOutputStream();
// create Request object and parse
Request request = new Request(input);
// create Response object
Response response = new Response(output);
// Close the socket
//check if the previous URI is a shutdown command
shutdown = request.getUri().equals(SHUTDOWN_COMMAND);
catch (Exception e) {
await method starts by creating a
instance and then going into a
while loop.
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(
port, 1, InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1"));
// Loop waiting for a request
while (!shutdown) {
The code inside of the
while loop stops at the
accept method of
ServerSocket, which returns only when an HTTP request is received
on port 8080:
socket = serverSocket.accept();
Upon receiving a request, the
await method obtains the
java.io.InputStream and the
objects from the
Socket instance returned by the
accept method.
input = socket.getInputStream();
output = socket.getOutputStream();
await method then creates a
Request object and
calls its
parse method to parse the raw HTTP request.
// create Request object and parse
Request request = new Request(input);
Next, the
await method creates a
Response object,
sets the
Request object to it, and calls its
sendStaticResource method.
// create Response object
Response response = new Response(output);
Finally, the
await method closes the
Socket and
calls the
getUri method of
Request to check if the
URI of the HTTP request is a shutdown command. If it is, the shutdown variable
is set to
true and the program exits the
while loop.
// Close the socket
//check if the previous URI is a shutdown command
shutdown = request.getUri().equals(SHUTDOWN_COMMAND);
Request Class
Request class represents an HTTP request. An instance of
this class is constructed by passing the
InputStream object
obtained from a
Socket that handles the communication with the
client. Call one of the
read methods of the
InputStream object to obtain the HTTP request raw data.
Request class has two public methods:
getUri. The
parse method parses the raw data in
the HTTP request. It doesn't do much--the only information it makes available
is the URI of the HTTP request, which it obtains by calling the private method
parseUri. The
parseUri method stores the URI in the
uri variable. Invoke the public
getUri method to
return the URI of the HTTP request.
To understand how the
parse and
parseUri methods
work, you need to know the structure of an HTTP request, which is defined in RFC 2616(.pdf).
An HTTP request contains three parts:
For now, we are only interested in the first part of the HTTP request, the
request line. A request line begins with a method token, is followed by the
request URI and the protocol version, and ends with carriage-return linefeed
(CRLF) characters. Elements in the request line are separated by a space
character. For instance, the request line for a request for the
index.html file using the
GET method is:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
parse method reads the whole byte stream from the socket's
InputStream passed to the
Request object, and stores
the byte array in a buffer. It then populates a
object called
request using the bytes in the
byte array, and passes the
String representation of the
StringBuffer to the
parseUri method.
parse method is given in Listing 1.2.
Listing 1.2. The
Request class'
public void parse() {
// Read a set of characters from the socket
StringBuffer request = new StringBuffer(2048);
int i;
byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
try {
i = input.read(buffer);
catch (IOException e) {
i = -1;
for (int j=0; j index1)
return requestString.substring(index1 + 1, index2);
return null;
Response Class
Response class represents an HTTP response. Its constructor
accepts an
OutputStream object, such as the following:
public Response(OutputStream output) {
this.output = output;
Response object is constructed by the
await method by passing the
object obtained from the socket.
Response class has two public methods:
setRequest and
sendStaticResource. The
setRequest method is used to pass a
Request object to
Response object. It is as simple as the code in Listing
Listing 1.4. The
Response class'
public void setRequest(Request request) {
this.request = request;
sendStaticResource method is used to send a static
resource, such as an HTML file. Its implementation is given in Listing 1.5.
Listing 1.5. The
Response class'
sendStaticResource method
public void sendStaticResource() throws IOException {
byte[] bytes = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
File file = new File(HttpServer.WEB_ROOT, request.getUri());
if (file.exists()) {
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
int ch = fis.read(bytes, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
while (ch != -1) {
output.write(bytes, 0, ch);
ch = fis.read(bytes, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
else {
// file not found
String errorMessage = "HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found\r\n" +
"Content-Type: text/html\r\n" +
"Content-Length: 23\r\n" +
"\r\n" +
"
File Not Found
";
catch (Exception e) {
// thrown if cannot instantiate a File object
System.out.println(e.toString() );
finally {
if (fis != null)
sendStaticResource method is very simple. It first
instantiates the
java.io.File class by passing the parent and
child paths to the
File class' constructor.
File file = new File(HttpServer.WEB_ROOT, request.getUri());
It then checks if the file exists. If it does, the
sendStaticResource method constructs a
java.io.FileInputStream object by passing the
object. It then invokes the
read method of the
FileInputStream and writes the byte array to the
OutputStream output. Note that in this case, the content of the
static resource is sent to the browser as raw data.
if (file.exists()) {
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
int ch = fis.read(bytes, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
while (ch != -1) {
output.write(bytes, 0, ch);
ch = fis.read(bytes, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
If the file does not exist, the
sendStaticResource method sends
an error message to the browser.
String errorMessage = "HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found\r\n" +
"Content-Type: text/html\r\n" +
"Content-Length: 23\r\n" +
"\r\n" +
"
File Not Found
";

The Cultural Revolution decimated Beijing's 3.000 Buddhist and Taoist temples, through arson or conversion to housing and manufacturingThe Hong'en Temple in Zhangwang Hutong also bears scars from that period. Rediscovered by Brunei architect Robin Foo in 2004, this Yuan Dynasty temple served congregations of Buddhists in the Yuan dynasty and Daoists in the Qing dynasty, stored machine parts in the 1970s, and was finally converted into dormitories and a wet market for locals. Foo took it on himself to rescue this ancient space.
Now a glass roof connects the temple to the rest of the complex, creating a capacious covered courtyard now dotted with tall, slender lounge seats and velvet topped tables, ready to be candlelit and serve as the reception room for invitees to one of the exclusive events managed by Foo and his team, operating out of the temple complex as events management company Contempio Beijing.
The main temple, now a fully equipped theatre for performances and seminars, has its unassuming door surmounted with a faded picture of the Great Helmsman. Since he unleashed the Cultural Revolution, Mao is in some ways as much an architect of the Hong'en Temple's current anatomy as Buddha or the Dao. Dramatic scarlet velvet drapes create the theatrical mood in the bar area, its mezzanine boasting a pair of beautifully restored Chinese four posters.
The rear office space also enmeshes international sophistication into its unmistakably Chinese backdrop, a spectacular crystal chandelier hanging from the joisted ceiling beams, rotating and reclining easy chairs rubbing up against an antique backless wooden bench, and an ancient quern- haped stone resembling a wellhead has been transformed into a coffee table, providing a stable underpinning for delicate glass ornaments and modern living magazines.
The preservation of the old takes precedence over the convenience or glitz of the new, and the resulting space has a calm and a sophistication Beijing's legion of modern events spaces fail to achieve for the simple fact that they have no history.

3. Will Raymond Felton be able to defend the pick and roll against OJ Mayo and Brandon Knight?
4. What kind of role Bargnani will have to play within in the offense if he isn't touching the ball or getting Novak type shots?
5. Will Amare or Martin play this game?
Knicks Spotlight on:
The Artist formerly known as Ron Artest, always had a dream of playing for the Knicks.
Metta World Peace is trying to push Carmelo Anthony at practice. Read more: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
A word from Metta:
You really can't be more than what you are, and you really can't be less than what you are. Just be you," he said. "Work hard, try to stay in shape. A lot of people (have) been calling me old. I can't help that I'm 33 because when God brings us in this world, he says you will age, and there's nothing I can do about it. But what I can do is I continue to work hard on my body and stay in shape and I'm moving pretty well.

Nice thread.
Gotta win this one. GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Great job Metro.
A New season!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! Lets start with a win streak, Shall we say 10-0?
We're an 8 point favorite. I'd say we gotta cover that to get an A. Go Knicks
Nice one Metro. You're going to be the main man with these game threads this season, a lot of guys that had the talent are with Crazy8 in the land down under. Looking forward to seeing that Greek kid with the Bucks as well as the ass whipping we put on them.
hell ye one is missing Dirk Nowitzki european Olajuwon
Definitely a five-star thread. Great job señor Chinga! I like the idea of MWP starting at the three, looks like you kinda forsaw Woody's thinking. I'd still start Amare at the PF and move Melo to his natural position, but I guess STAT's still not ready to play against 1st string players.
Great Game-Thread Metro .... I like the Metro-card optimism (avatar) use it LOL
I like the Meta quotation .. its aimed at Amare & K-Mart for letting Melo take away their spirit to play.
I wish I could .. Kenyon Martin starting 18 games to win 16 out of the 18 ....
D.League Bargani starting over Amare annd K-Mart is all ISO-Melo's doing.
I will give u a proposition .. after this Game-Night thread of Bashing Melo/Woody, I will stop untill we play our 15th game.
If our record is not better than 7-8 the BASHING is on.
Regular posters getting banned because of a bet is the last thing this board needs.

Business student Julie Mitchell wins Zonta Club's International Woman in Business award
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Oct 27/06
Fourth year business co-op student Julie Mitchell is the recipient of the Zonta Clubs Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship at the International level. This is the first time the scholarship, worth US$5,000, has been won by a candidate from the local Zonta Club of Kitchener-Waterloo.
Mitchell won the local, club-level award back in April of this year, and then the district-level award in August against winners from 43 other Zonta clubs from the Upper New York, Upper Pennsylvania and Southwestern Ontario areas. Zonta International has over 1,200 clubs in almost 70 different countries, and the six scholarships given out at the international level also saw recipients from Nepal, Poland, Austria and two from the United States.
The scholarship is heavily weighted towards academic achievement, with over two-thirds of the scoring looking at academic levels, references and awards. Mitchell, whose impressive GPA is over 11, also received glowing reports from professors and advisors, who say she demonstrates the ability to be self-reliant, possesses a very positive and professional style, and is exceptionally talented.
During her time at Laurier, Mitchell has played an important role on the varsity womens hockey team, and has won a variety of awards for excelling both academically and athletically. She was nominated for the Outstanding Women of Laurier Award, and has won the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Academic All-Canadian Achievement Award and the Ontario University Athletics Scholar-Athlete Award, the latter of which is presented to the individual who achieves the highest average of all Laurier female varsity athletes.
Mitchell also volunteers with a number of Laurier organizations in her free time, such as Foot Patrol, LSFL (Laurier Students for Literacy) and the Business Mentorship Program.
I find it easy to manage my time when I stay busy, says Mitchell, because then I know that I do not have any time to procrastinate.
It was really the balance of interests that Julie displayed that made her an outstanding candidate, says Rosemary Pell, a member of the awards committee for this areas Zonta club. Her passion for music, sports, volunteering and coaching verified a drive that really fit. Shes moving forward, connecting with people, and becoming a role model.
It is an honour to be named a recipient of this scholarship, says Mitchell, who plans on using the money for tuition and expenses like textbooks. After I graduate, I plan on obtaining my CA (Chartered Accounting) designation and working in a CA firm.
Mitchells success so far has already been highly impressive, and as Pell glowingly emphasizes, she is truly a deserving candidate.
The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship is open to women enrolled in an undergraduate degree in business, leading to a business management career. The program is designed to encourage undergraduate women to enter careers and to seek leadership positions in business-related fields in their communities and throughout the world. The scholarship will be offered again next year, and applications will be available in early January 2007. Visit the Clubs website at www.zontaakw.com/awards for more details.
Zonta International is a Worldwide Service Organization of Executives in Business and the Professions working together to Advance the Status of Women. Locally, the Zonta Club of Kitchener-Waterloo works to improve the quality of life for women through fundraising and charitable giving and by recognizing outstanding community members through such initiatives as scholarships, the Annual Women of Achievement and Young Women in Public Affairs Awards, and The Betty Thompson Golf Classic.

Team Losi Racing Aluminum 48P Pinion Gear (3.17mm Bore) (22T)
In my opinion, these are the best pinions made. the beveled edge allows for an easier to set mesh point with the spur gear. Also, the bevel rides in and out with the rotor as it fluctuates with throttle. These are better with the standard Losi Spur or JConcepts silent speed spur, but work well equally well with the AVID triad set-up.

Laurier releases five-year strategic research plan
Feb 14/14| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University has renewed its commitment to research with the release of its 2014-2019 strategic research plan, Commitment to the Future.
The strategic research plan is not only an aspirational vision for strengthening research at Laurier, but it is also an opportunity to showcase our research accomplishments and triumphs, said Abby Goodrum, Lauriers vice-president: Research.
The plan describes Lauriers innovative research approach: its interdisciplinary collaborations, a longstanding history of engagement with its communities, and five thematic clusters of excellence: environment; governance and policy; health and well being; culture and society; and economics, markets and management.
The plan also provides a strategy for growth and improvement around four key goals: enhancing research culture, enriching graduate and postdoctoral support, expanding external research funding, and extending research infrastructure.
The goals and recommendations in the strategic research plan will act as a roadmap for expanding research excellence, said Goodrum. I am proud of the tremendous accomplishments of Lauriers community of researchers and am extremely excited about Laurier's research future.
A 42-member strategic research plan taskforce spent a year conducting research and consulting with more than 300 stakeholders, including Laurier faculty and external research partners.
Our objective was to engage our community in a discussion about our research goals, challenges and strengths as a means to shape our vision for Laurier research in the years to come, said Goodrum.
The strategic research plan was approved by Lauriers Senate in January and presented to the universitys Board of Governors Feb. 13, 2014.
An electronic summary document is available through a link on the Office of Research Services home page: www.wlu.ca/research.

"I was on the roof about ten after 2 a.m. on the property I have, the parking area. I saw black smoke and glanced over, saw fire at the gate area and immediately called the fire department," said Barton.
One witness told police he saw two men dump some sort of liquid in front of the auto shop, then throw a flare.
Honolulu fire crews quickly put out the flames, containing most of the damage to the front of the business, where two vehicles were burned in the blaze.
About 10 minutes later, a second fire was reported on Pacific Heights Road. Police said it was a stolen car from the Makiki area. It was also confirmed that the torched Nissan Altima was the same car that was seen fleeing the scene of fire at Stewart's Auto Service.
The shop's owner, who didn't want to go on camera, said he has no idea who would do this to his business.
This latest arson investigation is the second in less than a week.
Honolulu police are still looking for the suspects behind the torching of two vans outside of the Rainbow Mart in Palolo Valley and the getaway car. The explosion and getaway were all caught on video.
The two cases are strangely similar but officials are not yet linking the cases.
"We don't know if they're related, however there is enough concern that everyone should pay attention to the fact that intentional fires can do a lot of inadvertent harm," said Honolulu Fire Department Capt. Terry Seelig.
Police are asking anyone with information on either case, to call Crimestoppers at 955-8300.
Damage was estimated at $25,000. Investigators are still looking into the exact cause of the fire.

Despite it's name, the sabre-toothed tiger was not actually related to the modern tigers that are found throughout the jungles of Asia. It is thought that the sabre-toothed tiger would have roamed across the grassland plains and open woodlands throughout both North and South America where individuals would of varied slightly depending on the area which they inhabited.
The sabre-toothed tiger is one of the best known ice-age animals but little is really known about them as they are thought to have become extinct around 10,000BC which is a long time ago. The sabre-toothed tiger was named for the canines that could grow to more than 7 inches in length and were capable of fatally wounding their prey with one bite.
Sadly, the colour of the sabre-tooth tiger is unknown but it is thought that is would of been of a similar colouration to the modern day lion found in Africa (and which it is not closely related to). The sabre-toothed tiger also had a powerful, muscular body which meant that it could quickly catch and pounce on it's prey before using it's knife-like teeth to cause to the fatal blow.
In the same way as modern day felines, the sabre-toothed tiger was a carnivorous animal and would of been the most dominant predator within its environment. Large herbivorous animals such as deer and bison would of been the most common prey of the sabre-toothed tiger along with occasional giant such as a small woolly mammoth should their ranges cross, although their exact diet is unknown.
The sabre-toothed cat would of been the most ferocious and therefore the apex predator within it's environment so had no natural predators on the American plains. Humans are thought to be the most likely cause for the demise of this enormous cat and more than 2,000 sabre-toothed tiger skeletons have been found emerged in the tar pits close to Los Angeles.
As with modern felines, the sabre-toothed tiger would of bred in the warmer months of early spring, when after a gestation period that could last as long as 8 months, the female sabre-toothed tiger would give birth to an average of 3 cubs per litter. Nothing is known about sabre-toothed tiger cubs but they could be born blind like the cubs of today's felines.
The sabre-toothed tiger is thought to have become extinct more than 12,000 years ago when human settlers first arrived in the Americas, hunting this species to extinction. Although climate change could also be the primary cause for their demise, little however is really known.
