In New Streaming API for Node, Isaac Schlueter outlines the issues found in Node's current streaming API, and presents the new Node 0.10 API that addresses these problems. Although the documentation makes it clear that the stream API is "unstable", it's notable for two reasons: it's built on
EventEmitter, and many of Node's core modules have stream interfaces. Streams are an integral part of Node, and it's becoming clear that many problems are best solved with streams.
The 0.10 version of streams will cause backward compatibility issues, but this has been considered and mitigated:
For backwards compatibility with older Node programs, Readable streams switch into "old mode" when a
'data'event handler is added, or when the
resume()methods are called.
Isaac has included the new stream API's documentation in the post, and if you're working with Node at all it's worth reading. If you're struggling to understand the motivation behind the changes, it boils down to
pause() not really pausing, and the potential for
'data' events to be dropped before they're ready to be consumed. I liked Isaac's practical example of this issue:
'data'events come right away (whether you're ready or not). This makes it unreasonably difficult to do common tasks like load a user's session before deciding how to handle their request.
So, read A New Streaming API for Node v0.10 carefully even if you're not working with streams directly. I'm of the opinion that you should be thinking about streams when designing Node programs, and if Node's core developers can get them right for version 0.10 it'll be a huge win for the platform.
TJ Holowaychuk has written up a detailed tutorial on Components, about building a date picker. I'm a believer of the Components idea, and at the moment good tutorials are lacking in this area, so it's good to see TJ writing up detailed examples like this.
There are also some screencasts available: Creating components, and Web Components - Introduction.

Kenneth Allan Phelps, nicknamed "Digger", is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) designated hitter and first baseman. He played for six different teams between 1980 and 1990, but he played primarily with the Seattle Mariners. Baseball statistician Bill James cited Phelps as an example of a player who is unfairly denied a chance to play in MLB despite compiling strong Minor League Baseball statistics.
After growing up in Seattle and attending college at Washington State University, Mesa Community College and Arizona State University, Phelps began his professional career in the farm system of the Kansas City Royals in 1976. Phelps made his MLB debut with the Royals in 1980, and he was traded to the Montreal Expos for the 1982 season. Stuck behind a talented MLB lineup in the Montreal organization, he was traded to the Seattle Mariners, where he played from 1983 to 1988.
After a 1988 trade to the New York Yankees and a stint with the Oakland Athletics the next two seasons, Phelps ended his career in 1990 with the Cleveland Indians. In 2005, Phelps provided color commentary for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Amateur career[edit]
Born and raised in Seattle, Phelps graduated from Ingraham High School in north Seattle in 1972. He played a year at Washington State in Pullman under Bobo Brayton,[1] then headed south to Arizona to Mesa Community College, looking for an opportunity to play at Arizona State in Tempe.
In his only season at MCC in 1974, Phelps was named a junior college All American. He was drafted twice in the first round (January and June drafts) by the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies, respectively. He had previously been drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the eighth round out of high school. All this earned Phelps a chance from Coach Jim Brock to play at ASU, where he was named to the College World Series All Star team in 1976, when the Sun Devils lost to Arizona after having defeated the Wildcats seven times that season.
Early professional career[edit]
The left-hitting first baseman was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 15th round of the 1976 baseball amateur draft. Phelps hit a combined 43 HR from 1980–81 for the Omaha Royals, KC's Triple-A affiliate in the American Association. The Royals traded him to the Montreal Expos prior to 1982 season for pitcher Grant Jackson. In the American Association in 1982, Phelps hit .333 with 46 home runs and 141 RBI for the Wichita Aeros. He had only eight major league at-bats that year, as there was no room on a very talented Montreal roster for Phelps to break in. Instead, Phelps' hometown club, Seattle, purchased him from the Expos after the 1982 season.
Phelps, an average defensive player, was better suited to play with Seattle in the American League, as he could serve as the designated hitter there. The struggling Mariners franchise also had plenty of room for advancement. Phelps split time in 1983 between Seattle and its Pacific Coast League affiliate in Salt Lake City. Again, he hit minor league pitching well (.341 with 24 HR and 82 RBI in 74 games), but he did not play much in the majors. In 1984, he played a bit more for Seattle, hitting 24 HR in only 290 at-bats. Bad luck intervened that year when he broke his hand in the third game of the season after winning the regular first base job and hitting two home runs in his first three-game and five hits in his first 10 at-bats. The next season, he found himself behind Gorman Thomas who had been signed as a free agent, which limited Phelps to a mere 116 major league at-bats.
Finally, in 1986, at the age of 31, Phelps got into the major league lineup on a more-or-less regular basis. Although he was normally platooned against left-handed pitchers, Phelps still clocked 51 HR from 1986–87. It was at this time that Phelps' career travails inspired author Bill James to create the "Ken Phelps All-Star" team. As James described it:
Ken Phelpses are just available; if you want one, all you have to do is ask. They are players whose real limitations are exaggerated by baseball insiders, players who get stuck with a label -- the label of their limits, the label the things they can't do -- while those that they can do are overlooked... The Ken Phelps All-Stars [are] a whole teamful of guys who are wearing labels, but who nonetheless can play major-league baseball, and will prove it if they ever get the chance.[1]
The Buhner Trade[edit]
Phelps hit 14 more home runs in half a season in 1988. Impressed, George Steinbrenner and his New York Yankees traded prospect Jay Buhner to Seattle in exchange for Phelps,[2][3] who already had Don Mattingly and Jack Clark to play first base and DH. With limited playing time once again, Phelps found it difficult to maintain his production of the previous four-and-a-half seasons, while Buhner went on to become an All-Star and legendary Mariners player. A Seinfeld episode in 1996 depicted Yankee fan Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) as more upset about the Buhner trade than about the supposed death of his own son George.[4][5][6] Phelps only hit 17 home runs for the Yankees before being traded to the Oakland Athletics in late August 1989. The A's won the World Series, but Phelps had just two at-bats in the post-season, including a double in the AL Championship Series.
Phelps' final home run might have been his most notable; it came before a sell-out crowd in 1990 on April 20, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against the Mariners (Phelps was playing for Oakland). Phelps was called out of the dugout to pinch hit against Brian Holman, who had retired the first 26 batters in succession; Phelps homered to ruin a perfect game.[7][8][9] Years later, Phelps said he wanted to hit it out because he did not want to watch himself on ESPN's SportsCenter all season making the out to complete Holman's gem.[10] He was traded to Cleveland in mid-June.
Phelps' career .239 batting average hides the things that, as James pointed out, he could do. Thanks to outstanding power and strike zone judgment, his career OPS is a strong .854. Phelps hit 123 home runs in 1854 career at-bats, the 28th best ratio in major league history through 2004 (min. 1500 plate appearances). Phelps hit 100 career home runs in 1330 at-bats (second fastest player in history behind Ryan Howard in 1141 at-bats). He also still holds the AL record for the fastest 100 home runs (1322 at-bats).
Phelps today[edit]
As of 2005, Phelps did color commentary on the radio for Arizona Diamondbacks baseball games. In 2006, Phelps was replaced as the Diamondbacks color analyst by former Major League pitcher Tom Candiotti. Today, he does baseball analysis for Fox Sports in Arizona along with community and media work he does for the state's largest electric utility, Arizona Public Service. Two of the programs in which he has been involved—the ABC's of Baseball and Life and Power Players—have gained national recognition for their positive impact on children.

Please don't breed if they cannot breathe

very powerful, that poor dog. Presumably she can barely run around if she's breathing like that when she's stationary :(ReplyDelete
Can you imagine how much more labored her breathing will be during pregnancy?ReplyDeleteReplies
I can recall how much being pregnant meant for my breathing...as an upright walking, single-bearing species with good airways....cant imagine her life as pregnant.Delete
If that was a person, I'd think she was having an asthma attack and be calling an ambulance.ReplyDelete
I feel very sorry for the poor dog in the video.ReplyDelete
I've been involved in dogs, showing and dog sports for 40 years and have never bred a single litter, even my Grand Champion conformation dogs.
This spring, I'm breeding my elite-level male purebred agility dog to a mixed-breed flyball/disc competition dog that lives 1200 km away, in another country. Even with both dogs being fit and healthy, the bitch's owner is driving her to my house for a natural breeding, just because we don't want to breed dogs that don't have the instinct or physical ability to mate and to give birth naturally. And then 5 months after that, I'm going to do the 2400 km round-trip to get my long-nosed, athletic-bodied sport mix puppy.
I just totally fail to see why anybody would want a brachy breed: a dog that is in constant physical distress, riddled with health problems, and unable to do all of the great stuff dogs are supposed to do, like running, jumping, hiking, swimming, catching frisbees, etc. I'm suspicious that these breeds have become popular mainly because they are so nonathletic, overweight, and incapable of much movement that modern owners are absolved from feeling guilty for ignoring the dog in favor of doing things with their friends or children.Replies

Simple: Big eyes, high forehead and short nose = cute. We're genetically programmed to be attracted to those traits.Delete
Wow. Yours seems like the type of reasoned approach and very thoughtful strategy that I'd like to see in folks who claim to constantly be breeding "to better the breed." Because doing a few health tests and maintaining the purebred status quo is certainly not "doing the best one can" to improve dog health and welfare while also supplying pups to eager buyers. I love the fact that you're going to the effort to breed them naturally!Delete
What someone would see in the breed?Delete
They look like human babies. Big eyes, flat faces, wobbling step, "smile" on the face, etc.
Not just that, these breeds are seen a lot on social media and their popularity is drastically rising, which means more exposure.
Yes, they have somewhat baby-like faces, etc. But many of us realize that in canids, those traits are birth defects, not endearing qualities. I hope that "many" becomes "most" and then "all" sooner rather than later.Delete

SKY, those puppies sound amazing! I love small sport mixes. you didn't say which breeds make up the female, but now I'm imagining pups that are gonna be a bit bigger than a pap and very athletic. Sing me up :)Delete
Merrie, I forgot to mention that both dogs have undergone or are in the process of undergoing all their health tests, too. My male is a Papillon, and he just passed all his OFA tests and is on the CHIC registry in North America. OFA is a registry for dogs that have had any of about 100 specialist tests, normally from a board-certified vet at a veterinary university. Those are pass/fail. CHIC is a related registry that uses the OFA results to determine the most important tests for each breed. A dog that has all the CHIC-recommended tests, whether they pass or fail, gets on the CHIC registry for at least having been concerned enough to do the tests. I would only use my dog for breeding if he was both CHIC and actually passed all the tests on the OFA end, which he has. The bitch is being tested in a few weeks. Both dogs also compete at high levels in multiple sports.ReplyDelete
I've been into purebreds, conformation showing (among many sports) and purebred rescue for decades. But I have to thank PDE 100% for my decision that my next puppy and only breeding of my life is going to be this planned, health-tested breeding that will result in puppies that are a 50/25/25 mix of three breeds. Thanks, Jemima!

SKY, I understand the need to pure breed dogs. But I do not understand the breeding of any mix breed dogs, when we have THOUSANDS die everyday in shelters, backyards dropped offed on dirt roads, in every country in the world!Delete
God! This is dog rape! The poor dog obviously DOES NOT WANT this human fiddling with her sex organs!ReplyDelete
Jesus. Now I bet you she's KC registered and a breeder they promote. These dogs shouldn't be bred, we need more regulation. On the other hand am I the only one worried that the woman isn't trained to do that, she didn't look or sound like a vet, I'm scared for that dogs saftyReplyDelete

$ 49.99
Limited new Signature Chardonnay release from Darioush. Order while it's still available.
100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Darioush's estate vineyards in the Napa Valley, Oak Knoll and Carneros districts, and aged for eleven months in 70% new French oak.
Tasting Notes: "Influenced by a cooler than average growing season, the Darioush 2014 Signature Chardonnay is powerful, sleek and vibrant, and was bottled unfiltered to maintain a strong sense of place and high concentration of flavor. Bright aromatics of white peach and quince entice, with layers of green apple, creamy lemon meringue, yeast and toasted wheat in the mid-palate, finishing with a pure, delicate minerality. A promising vintage that will evolve well for several years."
$ 49.99
One of the best California Cabs under $50 we've found this year! The 2013 Darioush Caravan Cabernet Sauvignon is a plush bordeaux-style blend that epitomizes the stylistic profile thats signature Darioush.
Tasting Notes: "Round, supple and sleek – all are traits of Caravan Cabernet Sauvignon, and the exemplary 2013 vintage is no exception. Anchored by a significant blend of Merlot, the wine opens with decadent top notes of chocolate coated cherries, fig and black currants. The palate showcases ripe red fruit, cherry and plum, with firm tannins and hints of spice – cinnamon, vanilla and cherry liqueur. This is a substantial wine, built to age, yet equally enjoyable in its youth."
Caravan shares the pedigree of Darioush's Signature wines, but displays more ripe, saturated fruit with an elegantly textured finish. Caravan Cabernet Sauvignon is anchored in Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and/or Malbec added for depth and complexity of flavor.
$ 64.99
A small-production gem usually available at the winery tasting room only. Limited.
Earth-driven, with plenty of sweet black fruits, the Darioush 2013 Signature Cabernet Franc is described by winemaker Steve Devitt as "the sleeper of the vintage. A bouquet of spiced chai and herbs de Provence overlays plush flavors of blueberry, fig and black currant with notes of cigar box and smoke. A gorgeously textured finish reveals notes of graphite and dusty chocolate.
$ 74.99
Rare release of thje famous Darioush Shiraz - limited. Crafted to showcase the remarkable dynamism, fruit complexity, structure and age-worthiness of this ancient varietal, Darioush Signature Shiraz continues to thrive in the cooler climate locales our estate vineyards in southern Napa Valley.
95 Points Wine Enthusiast: "Full-bodied and exuberant in lush tannins, this black Shiraz is concentrated and rich in hearty leather, espresso and black tea yet buoyed by lively acidity and beautiful streaks of black and white pepper. Enjoy now or through 2021."
Tasting Notes: This fruit complexity broadens on the palate with blackberry jam and licorice deftly balanced with hints of baker's cocoa, espresso and sweet oak. The wine's exquisite sense of proportion connotes careful vinification techniques, and its supple tannins and lingering finish will reward extended cellaring.

We believe everyone should have a place to live at a price they can afford. As the North of Howard neighborhood has gentrified we have made a commitment to be good neighbors and to create a solid anchor to prevent the total displacement of low-income families. Most of the 550 people living in the ten buildings GNP owns and manages would have lost their housing if we were not partnering with one another.
New Life Interim Housing
Homeless women and children usually join us at New Life, our interim housing that is networked with Chicago's Department of Family and Support Services. At New Life each family creates a plan with specific steps that need to be taken each week to accomplish family goals, including long-term affordable housing.
The Jonquil Hotel
Others begin partnering at the Jonquil, which is the most affordable SRO on the north side of Chicago. It is a community of healing and care. Approximately one-third of the 130+ people living at the Jonquil hope and expect it will be their permanent home. Another one-third live there for two to eight years in order to save money to do something constructive with their lives that they could not otherwise afford to do. Many of the remaining one-third are at the Jonquil for a short respite while they prepare to move on.
Rental Apartments
When families are ready to move from New Life or the Jonquil SRO, some have the opportunity to move to one of our studio, 1, 2, or 3-bedroom affordable rental apartments.
Cooperative Buildings
Most of our housing consists of our co-operatives, where families without enough income or positive credit history to buy a used car are able to begin buying their own house. Over the years we have found this to be our most effective investment to help people work out of poverty. We've been blessed to partner with over 160 families who came to us homeless, worked hard, built up equity in one of our co-ops, and used that equity as down payment to buy their own home.

Won't be Beatin'Mature
Pulling on the chest piece, "I don't know how you move in this stuff. I can hardly bend." Dante didn't take it off out of respect for his old friend.
"Better get used to it if you're going to serve on the Royal Knights." Elseron was the most serious he had ever since meeting him in that rain filled alley so long ago. "You have 30 minutes to get the girls and get to the office." The elevator dinged and the doors slide open, the elevator lost power after that. They were only a floor up but it was out of the gas chamber. "I'm going to really kill Zeus this time." There was a computer station directly across from the elevator, Elseron walked off as Dante tapped in a few keys. Using what little computer skills he had, Dante pulled up a map.
Dante looked at the schematic of the compound, Melody was 4 floors up, and the elevators were now out of commission. Looking for the stairs, he scratched his head at the layout, the only way to get to the next floor was at the end of a corridor, there were no stairs, but there were air ducts between the floors. The only thing he could think of was a containment measure so an escapee couldn't reach the surface very easy. Sighing, Dante headed for the nearest duct work.
Reaching the 5th floor, he was greeted with a hail of gunfire. He eyed the doorways down the hall, all the doors were open. Dante could survive several gun shots as long as none found his brain or his heart; he just couldn't take them all at once. Trying a really gutsy move, he backed up, ran, dove, and rolled into the room to the across the hall from him. The metal chest piece didn't prevent him from rolling and was thoroughly impressed.
The walls of the rooms were not very thick on this floor, they appeared to be more for office's than laboratories. Charging the wall to the next room, Dante crushed right through it onto a guard. The guard brought up his gun, grabbing the barrel, Dante pushed it to the side as a 3 round burst went off. Reaching for the combat knife on the guard's belt, Dante sank it to the hilt in his neck. The guard had 4 grenades on him as well, two flashbang and two fragmentation grenades. Using a flashbang, he tossed it into the hall. Plugging his ears and hiding from the shock, he saw the flash and heard screams from the gaurds.
Moving into the hall, he quickly immobilized the guards. Smashing one across the face, he crumpled like a sack of rocks. Moving to the next one he landed a destroying kick to the side of the knee, a scream sounded out as the guard collapsed. Moving down the hall, Dante just beat the rest of the guards to the ground, they were all dazed and confused. Entering the duct work, he got up to the next level. Opening the door, there was a strong sent of tiger and human that wafted in.
Dante entered the hallway cautiously; there were no guards to be seen. Using his air magic, he scanned for bodies in the hall. There was one person on this floor, and he just began to stir. It stood up from its position on the floor and moved towards the door, "So you're the big bad bear that has all of the guards scared for their life. I am glad you came and found me. I haven't had any true competition in some time." The voice had a thick Russian accent, "My name is Ivan. Unlike you, I was not born or turned, I was engineered. They have been trying to replicate the process by giving humans the lycan gene."
"Let me guess, you're a tiger." Ivan raised his eyebrows at the blunt statement.
"Yes. How did you know?" Ivan was curious to know. "I have never been told what I am, just that I'm lycan."
"Most lycan's haven't been to the zoo. That and I have an extremely strong sense of smell." Dante was not impressed. "So are we going to this or not?"
"Very well." Ivan shifted into his lycan form, deep orange and black fur covered his body. He didn't get that much bigger than he was already, but he did grow a tail. What interested Dante the most was Ivan's eyes didn't gain any yellow. In fact, his eyes didn't have any yellow; they went from a human type to a feline style eye. This must be the difference between natural and synthetically created.
Let me kill him, the demon whispered in his head.
No, I will not give in to your corrupting power like my uncle did. Dante argued with the demon.
Fine, when you die I will just move on. The demon had lost this battle more times than anyone cared to count. I still don't understand why someone as powerful as you won't take control. Of all the lycan's I've been with, you are the most deserving of my power.
Shut up. I'm not going to let you trick me. Dante shut the Demon out of his head. "I don't like to brag, but there is only one lycan who has ever survived a fight with me, and he won't survive the next. I won't be beatin'." Transforming into his monstrous bear form, he let out a challenging beastly roar. "If you stand in my way, I will have no choice but to kill you."
Letting out his own jungle roar, "I am trained, I am faster, and I am more deadly than any you have ever faced." With that said, he leaped through the air faster than Dante could track. Colliding, Dante was on his back and Ivan raked his claws across his face. Sinking his claws into the tigers sides, Dante threw him over his head and was back to his feet.
"So you're faster than most, but you aren't the fastest." Using his own incredible speed to his advantage, Dante crashed into Ivan sending them both through a concrete wall. As they rolled through the next room, Ivan brought his feet up and launched the massive bear into a wall, causing Dante to slide down the wall and land on his head. The tiger pounced on his exposed back and sank his claws into Dante's lower lungs. Letting out a blood filled roar, Dante sent a massive elbow into the side of his opponents head. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his lungs were in shreds, and he would die without a moment to heal. The synthetic lycan attacked again, this time going for the throat. A slender claw found the jugular and cut through half, Dante was dying.
Falling to his knees, Dante went back to his human form. Pulling off the chest piece Elseron had given him, he tossed it aside, "If I die, I die comfortably." Blood ran down his chest from his mouth and neck, and with every heartbeat a spurt of blood decorated the white walls. The darkness encroached on his vision.
Falling forward on his face, the demon said to him, You fool, you didn't need to die. With me we could have killed him before he made his first leap through the air.
I will not give you more power.
Believe it or not, I like you. You're the first to deserve my blessing since the first of your kind made the pact. Shadows in the room began to collect around Dante's body. Not knowing what was happening, Ivan shifted back to his human form and watched as his own shadow disappeared and fled to his fallen opponent. You are too weak to ignore my assistance now. You will not die now. With luck I'll be with you for a long time. The shadows sucked into Dante's body, gasping like he was just dumped into an ice bath.
Scratching his head, Ivan wondered if he had killed his foe or not. He blinked and Dante was gone. Blinking again, he was four feet in the air being held by his throat. Dante's eye's were black pits with iris's the color of molten lava. The hand around his throat got crushingly tighter, "Stop," he managed to choke out.
"And why should I do that," the voice was other worldly.
"I can help you," the hand loosened enough to let him get a breath. "I am a prisoner here. They bought me from Russia as a guinea pig. I have no loyalty to them, with you I can escape." Holding up his hand, "Look," revealing a bar code on his wrist. "Would they do that to someone who came willingly?"
Releasing him, Dante took back control of his body, "If you're lying to me, I'll send you straight to hell."
"Judging from what just happened, I believe it."
"Tell anyone, and I'll rip the tongue from your mouth." Dante was dead serious. "I need to get two vampires from the next floor up. I could use your help."
"To be a free man again, I'll help you take on God himself."
"No need to go that far. You do not have my trust, but you are a true warrior. You have my respect." Picking up his breast plate, he put it back on. "Let's go."
"What is your name?" Ivan inquired.

Comments about Fun World Toddler Caribbean Pirate Costume:
Make sure you get a larger size. I bought the 2T for my 2 year old (who is also smaller than most 2 year olds) The top was so short it looked like a belly top on him. The material was also very poor quality and cheap looking. The hat was way too small and could hardly fit on his head. The style is very cute, but just cheap material!

News Details
Kvyat eager for return to familiar ground
– Daniil Kvyat says he is eager to return to a more familiar circuit at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix. The Toro Rosso rookie has scored points in three races so far in 2014 but the sport now returns to Europe and Kvyat is hesitant to predict how the STR9 will fare at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. "Like all the drivers, I have spent a lot of time at this circuit, racing and testing," he said. "I've had some good results there, I particularly remember a Eurocup race in 2011, when I started from 20th and finished third. There were also some painful memories, when I lost the Eurocup there one year later, but overall, I have learned many valuable lessons at the...

SEN/PSN Intergration with vBulletin [Mod]
This project was successfully completed by developerpmal for $30 USD in 5 days.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Completed In5 days
Total Bids2
Project Description
SEN/PSN Integration Project.
This project is a plugin for the vBulletin forums which will allow users to connect their accounts with the PlayStation network
It will use two different methods, this will allow the mod to access various information from the Sony Network and will store it locally on the database to be displayed throughout the website.
I have some scripts already with various functions which allow us to get data from the network.
We will also need to login to the PlayStation network and query an XML file which displays the online status of friends, this then will be stored in the local database.
This will then display within a side block on the forums.
The mains Tasks will be:
- Integrating the scripts into VB forums
- Saving login details, cookies and sessions to a db (for reuse)
- Determining which users to display Online (for example the user whos info it is, all there friends, and then all members under the clan members section which will look to see if the username in the list matches up with with a userprofile field in all registered members in certain undergroups, userfields and usergroups should be editable from the plugins options)
- Showing peoples avatars in the side block along with there online/offline status and what game they are playing ect, and dividing them into categories: Favorites (which can be star'ed and unstared, default favorites can be determined in the admin pannel also, which cannot be unstared) Personal Contacts and Clan members, with the sub categories of online/offline inside each one.
- the block needs to auto ajax update, and the whole query will refresh peoples user status every X minutes which again should be defined in the admin pannel.
- Block will need to be put into categories: Favorites, Friends, Clan Members, with the sub categories of online/offline which will be collapsible.
- Storing the profile information into userfields so it also can be used elsewhere.
- Script needs to be compatible with VB 4.X.X
I am looking for this project to be completed quite promptly, and will need someone who will be able to talk to me and ask if they need anything and someone who I will be able to talk to and help shape the idea.
There is a community dedicated to doing this, so there will be help there, and I will also be able to help if any research or questions are needed, I have an idea of what I want and I will be able to translate that to you as I do know a small amount of PHP and am pretty good at figuring things out.
I have had some of this project running before, but a change in the PSN made my previous scripts useless, if the script is completed and the network changes weeks, months, years down the line, I will be looking to rehire the same person to help make the nessecery changes.
I will be looking for the files to stay mine, and not to be released to anyone else also.
As I say have plenty of examples how most of this will be done (in terms of connecting to the network).
Just need some competent fingers to help make it possible.
Please PM me if you have any questions :D

|From the President's Perspective

This Next Year Is of Utmost Importance to Our ProfessionBy Judith Bertenthal–Smith, LPC, ALPS
AMHCA President, 2013–2014
AMHCA's Annual Conference was once again filled with thought-provoking keynotes, cutting-edge practice information, networking opportunities, and a renewed call for advocacy. Despite the Washington, D.C., heat, attendees were able to connect with each other and learn the latest techniques and ideas in the field at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel, the beautiful setting for the conference.
The theme—"Resilience, Transformation and Advocacy"—infused the conference.
We began with a day on Capitol Hill just before the conference opened. Part of our Leadership Training involved AMHCA chapter leaders meeting with their Senators to urge the inclusion of licensed professional counselors in Medicare and to increase the inroads we have made in TRICARE.
The "Transformation" portion of the conference theme was evident in the multitude of keen workshops, in Dr. Jonathan Haidt's keynote on "The Righteous Mind," and within our own AMHCA family. (See the article about the conference by Camille A. Clay, EdD, LPC, AMHCA's North Atlantic Region director.)
Resilience was a theme in many of the presentations, but none more so than the keynote given by William Brim, PsyD, from the Center for Deployment Psychology on "The Challenges of Reintegration Following Deployment." His discussion on the unique challenges and needs of deployed veterans and their families, followed by a moving video about the resilience of these service personnel, was met with a standing ovation. AMHCA is pleased to announce our "Veterans Initiative Task Force," chaired by Director-at-Large LaMarr Edgerson, PsyD, LMFT, Cht, AMHCA's director-at-large, and a veteran himself.
Help Us Remain a Force in Mental Healthcare
This next year is of utmost importance to our profession as we continue our efforts to be able to provide quality, professional service for those with mental health challenges. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) focuses on integration of care. Our profession has always pushed for a more inclusive and holistic approach. AMHCA will advocate ensuring that clinical mental health counselors are included in this integration so that we can be a force in mental healthcare. Our new CEO, Joel Miller, brings significant expertise about the Affordable Care Act and will spearhead our effort.

Definition of longitude
1a : angular distance measured on a great circle of reference from the intersection of the adopted zero meridian with this reference circle to the similar intersection of the meridian passing through the objectb : the arc or portion of the earth's equator intersected between the meridian of a given place and the prime meridian and expressed either in degrees or in time
2 archaic : long duration
Examples of longitude in a Sentence
a map of the world showing lines of latitude and longitude
calculating the longitudes of different places
The regions are on roughly the same longitude.
Did You Know?
The imaginary (but very important) lines of longitude run from the North Pole to the South Pole. Each is identified by the number of degrees it lies east or west of the so-called prime meridian in Greenwich, England (part of London). A circle is divided into 360°; so, for example, the longitude of the Egyptian city of Cairo is about 31°E—that is, about 31° east of London. The "long" sense of the root may be easier to see in some uses of the adjective longitudinal: A longitudinal study is a research study that follows its subjects over many long years, and a longitudinal engine is one that drives a crankshaft that runs lengthwise under a vehicle (as in rear-wheel-drive cars) rather than crosswise.
Origin and Etymology of longitude
Middle English, from Latin longitudin-, longitudo, from longus
First Known Use: 15th century
LONGITUDE Defined for English Language Learners
Definition of longitude for English Language Learners
: distance measured in degrees east or west from an imaginary line (called the prime meridian) that goes from the North Pole to the South Pole and that passes through Greenwich, England
: an imaginary line that circles the Earth at a particular longitude
LONGITUDE Defined for Kids
Definition of longitude for Students
: distance measured in degrees east or west of an imaginary line that runs from the north pole to the south pole and passes through Greenwich, England

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 28, 2001, New Braunfels, Texas Page 8A — Herald-Zeitung — Saturday, July 28, 2001Religion Contact Features Editor Betty Taylor at 625-9144 ext. 222. , ' *■ -a® Tim JUDKINS Citizens of Heaven have no rights like on Earth Christians in New Braunfels may have a problem. It may be difficult to understand and accept the rules of the kingdom of God if we equate them to American rules and to New Braunfels rules in particular. If you have been following the annexation controversy or if you are directly involved in it, you have observed citizenship in action. We who live in a free country have grown up believing and expecting the right to express ourselves and the right to have a say in decisions that directly affect us. Residents facing annexation have tried to exercise both of these rights. Unfortunately, our understanding of our rights as citizens may not be accurate. For instance, it was noted that those outside the boundaries of New Braunfels have no rights when it comes to annexations. The city can make this decision, and whether they like it or not, the "victims" have to accept it. This caveat in our constitutional system is unpopular and generally goes unnoticed. It is the cold, hard and somewhat ugly truth nonetheless. I have good news, though, for everyone in light of this local controversy. There is a comparable spiritual principle that we can learn now so that later, when the principle is duly applied, we will not be caught in the same ignorance and frustration as our neighbors are on the outside of town. The spiritual reality is that life in the kingdom of God is no different. When it comes to citizenship in God's municipality, people have no say in what goes on at all. There are no hearings, no negotiations and no individual rights. In other words, living close to New Braunfels can be compared to living in Heaven. We who follow Jesus Christ now already understand this. We know that in order to secure citizenship in God's kingdom, we must relinquish our rights and completely yield our will to the king with no reservations and no qualifications. It is God's way or the high way. There is a difference, though, between the annexation controversy and life in the kingdom of God. Once "annexed" into God's city limits, things still do not change. Unlike New Braunfels, where you do have a say and can vote once your property is inside the city boundaries, being in God's family still allows you no rights and no say in what God wants to do. Whether you are comfortable with it or not, the kingdom of God is not a democracy. You can demand your rights all you want, but the prime directive of God's universe is absolute submission. The really good news, though, is that God is good and trustworthy and he really does have our best interests in mind. (Tim Judkins leads the Contemporary service of First Protestant Church.) Christian singles groups not all about religion CHRIS PACE/Herald-Zeitung Charter members of the Singles Fun Club met for the first time Tuesday at Landa Park to exchange phone numbers and plan events. By J.L. MCMICHAEL Staff Writer Despite stereotyping, the words "Christian singles" and "fun" do go together, said Steve Leavitt, Christian counselor and owner of Expectations Counseling in New Braunfels. 'You can be a Christian and you can be single and you can have fun," Leavitt said. "In Christian singles groups you don't have to be stoic or lethargic. One of the things I want Christian singles to know is you can have fun." Several area Christian singles groups are proving that statement to be true. • The B.A.S.I.C.S. An acronym for The Baptist Association of Singles in Christ's Service, The B.A.S.I.C.S. meets the first Saturday of each month to do everything from visiting dinner theaters to going to the zoo. "This is for any single who wants to come and join us, whether they've been divorced, widowed or never married. We don't close it off to just Baptists; anybody in town or anybody in the area is welcome. We have churches in New Braunfels, Seguin, Lockhart and Wimberley that are involved in it," said Johnny McDonald, singles director at First Baptist Church and council member of The B.A.S.I.C.S. For information about The B.A.S.I.C.S., call First Baptist Church at 625-9124. • College and Career Life Group Tree of Life Fellowship at 652 Loop 337 has made a point through the years to ensure that the high school graduates and college students don't "fall through the cracks" after they graduate from the God's temple is holy, you are his temple My father and I will come and make our home with him. Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light that shines on every person. This true light shines on all but if anyone closes his window he will deprive himself of eternal light. Though He can enter, He does not want to force His way in rudely or compel us to admit Him against our will. He came into the world as the light of the whole world in order to shine on all people. His light is received by those who long for the splendor of perpetual light that night can never destroy. The sun of our daily experience is succeeded by the darkness of night, but the sun of holiness never sets, because wisdom cannot give place to evil. Blessed then is the person at whose door Christ stands and knocks. Our door is faith; if it is strong enough, the whole house is safe. This is the door by which Christ enters. So the Church says in the Song of Songs: The voice of my brother is at the door. Hear his knock, listen to him asking to enter: Open to me, my sister, my betrothed, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is covered with dew, and my hair with the moisture of the night. When does God the Word most often knock at your Rev. Msgr. Edward F. BILY door? When His head is covered with the dew of night. He visits in love those in trouble and temptation, to save them from being overwhelmed by their trials. His head is covered with dew or moisture when those who are His body are in distress. That is the time when you must keep watch. If you were to sleep, if your heart were not wide awake, he would not knock but go away; but if your heart is watchful, he knocks and asks you to open the door to him. If you open the gates of your faith, the King of glory will enter your house in the triumphal procession in honor of His passion. Holiness, too, has its gates. We read in Scripture what the Lord Jesus said through his prophet: Open for me the gates of holiness. It is the soul that has its door, its gates. Christ comes to this door and knocks; He knocks at these gates. In the Sacred Word of God it is written: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his house and share his supper, he and I together. Blessed is that servant who is found at work when his master returns. Open to him; he wants to enter, to find you waiting, watching and praying. youth group, said Associate Pastor Donald Duncan. "Churches have structured children and youth programs and then if you don't have a group that focuses on the needs of the next step — college and career — they tend to get lost," Duncan said. "The big thing is having something designed to specifically meet their needs." The College and Career Life Group meets at 7:30 p.m. the first and third Sundays of the month at the facility on Churchill Drive just off the main campus of Tree of Life Fellowship. The evenings start with a praise and worship session, then members participate in a Bible study or a life skills program, Duncan said. Past programs have included personality profile tests, classes on finances and budgeting, time management and goal setting. The group also meets for social activities. "We go out to Spurs games or Missions baseball games or barbecues at the lake or cam-pouts — we don't try to just exclusively get them in a Bible study-type setting, though in everything we do we want to maintain a Christian atmosphere," Duncan said. The group also participates in an annual missions trip. Past trips have been to Peru, Mexico and Nicaragua. Members must be high school graduates, and though most are under 25, there isn't really an age limit, Duncan said. "We mainly want them to feel comfortable in a place where they can be ministered to and build relationships," he said. For information, call Tree of Life at 625-6375. • First United Methodist Church About 12 singles at First United Methodist Church are working to organize a group and are interested in new members. "They wanted to get together in a group but not so much for dating, like in some of the other groups — what this group talked about and was much more interested in is having quality friendships and relationships," said Julie Bynum, director of Christian education. The group plans to organize weekly activities. For information, call Carolyn McGuire, associate pastor, at 625-4513. There are many other groups besides the ones listed below, including the 45-and-over Singles Fun Club, which isn't affiliated with a denomination or religion to avoid excluding anyone. For information about the Fun Club, call Mary Ann Young at 609- Singles * "lf you're wanting to meet a potential future mate, get on a roller track heading towards God and look beside you. lf that person is going along beside you, then consider that person as a potential mate, lf you're leaving that person behind or if that person is leaving you behind, it's probably going to be a problem." * "It's very important for Christian singles not to do missionary dating. In other words, don't date someone hoping they're going to be the Christian that you want them to be someday. That's always a problem." * "One of the most damaging things that can happen to Christians as they date and try to find that mate is whenever they go too deep, emotionally and physically, too fast." * "Remember, you can always move forward. You can't move back in a relationship. Don't do something that you'll regret." 5146. Leavitt recommends Metro, a non-denomina-tional Christian singles organization that meets at 7:30 p.m. Monday nights at Castle Hills Northwest Church. Someone interested in joining a singles organization should compare the group to their own personality, Leavitt said. "It's important to seek groups that are geared towards your personality. Some groups are more worshipful, some groups are more small-group orientated, some groups are more fun-activity based. A good group, hopefully, does all of those things well," he said. "But if you're seeking one particular thing, you'll need to seek out that type of group." Deacon pays tribute to Msgr. Bily Special to the Herald-Zeitung Over 50 years ago, a young man spent several years studying vines and vineyards. He learned about the different vines and the different grapes that they produced. He learned how to feed the vines and how to prune them to produce more and better grapes. He learned about the different pests that plagued them and how to minimize damage done to them. He learned how to repair damaged vines and just how much water each one needed. He knew that the son of the vineyard owner had worked, suffered and died for the vines in the vineyards. The young man went to work in the vineyards and learned much more about vines and grapes. He learned that some vines produced very sweet grapes while others produced rather sour ones. Some of the vines produced red grapes, some produced white grapes and some produced black grapes. He learned that immature grapes were tart or sour but that with time they ripened and sweetened. He worked very hard in that vineyard. Sometimes the vines did not respond to his treatment and he had to try other things to help them become healthy and fruitful. His work was rewarded with success and he was sent to another vineyard that needed loving care. Time after time, as the vines responded to his care, he was sent to a different vineyard to work. Many times, the seed of particularly good grapes was planted and nurtured to produce more good vines. After more than 50 years of labor, he deserved a rest. So he worked less and rested more and found out that other workers were able to do much of the work that he had done. They could not do it the way he had done or perhaps as well as he had done it, but the vines continued to grow and produce good fruit. And the Father said, "Well done, good and faithful servant." And we say, "Thank you, Monsignor Bily." (Raymond H. Kanfran, retired deacon Sis.

Russian scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences (JIHT RAS), and Gamaleya Research Centre of Epidemiology and Microbiology found that treating cells with cold plasma leads to their regeneration and rejuvenation. This result can be used to develop a plasma therapy program for patients with non-healing wounds.
The paper has been published in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.
Non-healing wounds make it more difficult to provide effective treatment to patients and are therefore a serious problem faced by doctors. These wounds can be caused by damage to blood vessels in the case of diabetes, failure of the immune system resulting from an HIV infection or cancers, or slow cell division in elderly people. Treatment of non-healing wounds by conventional methods is very difficult and in some cases impossible.
Cold atmospheric-pressure plasma refers to a partially ionized gas (the proportion of charged particles in the gas being close to 1?%) with a temperature below 100,000 K. Its application in biology and medicine has been made possible by the advent of plasma sources generating jets at 30–40?°C.
An earlier study established the bactericidal properties of low-temperature plasma, as well as the relatively high resistance of cells and tissues to its influence. The results of plasma treatment of patients with non-healing wounds varied from positive to neutral. The authors' previous work prompted them to investigate the possibility that the effect of plasma treatment on wound healing could depend on application pattern (the interval between applications and the total number of applications).
Two types of cells were used in this study, viz. fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) and keratinocytes (epithelial cells). Both play a central role in wound healing.
The effect of plasma treatment on cells was measured. In fibroblast samples, the number of cells increased by 42.6?% after one application (A) and by 32.0?% after two applications (B), as compared to the untreated controls. While no signs of DNA breaks were detected following plasma application, an accumulation of cells in the active phases of the cell cycle was observed, alongside a prolonged growth phase (30 hours). This means that the effect of plasma could be characterized as regenerative, as opposed to harmful.
The proliferation of cells that had been treated daily over a period of three days (group C) was reduced by 29.1?% relative to the controls. Keratinocytes did not show noticeable changes in proliferation.
The researchers also performed an assay of the senescence-associated ?-galactosidase, which is measured at pH 6.0. The concentration of this enzyme in a cell increases with age. Plasma treatment significantly reduced the content of this substance in the samples. This, together with a prolonged exponential growth phase of the culture, suggests a functional activation of cells—their rejuvenation.
'The positive response to plasma treatment that we observed could be linked to the activation of a natural destructive mechanism called autophagy, which removes damaged organelles from the cell and reactivates cellular metabolic processes,' says Elena Petersen, a co-author of the paper and the head of the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Technologies at MIPT.
The scientists are planning additional research into the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of plasma on cells. They also aim to determine the influence of a patient's age on the effectiveness of plasma therapy.

Tuning cold plasma can either promote or inhibit bone formation
Cold plasma looks like the glow from the "Star Wars" blue light saber but this beam of energy, made of electrons that change polarity at micro-second or nanosecond speeds, could help bones heal faster, according to a study published August 11th in the Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine.
Most people interact with plasma every day. It's in our TVs, fluorescent lights, lightning, the aurora borealis, and the sun. However, these are all examples of hot or "thermal" plasmas. Since the discovery of cold plasma, about 20 years ago, it has been used in agriculture to sterilize the surface of fruit without damaging the delicate edibles. More recently, scientists have been performing experiments treating living animal cells and tissues with cold plasma to learn more about its potential applications in medicine.
"We've previously studied how different applications of cold plasma can either directly kill cells, such as in skin cancer, or help them grow, as in developing bones. In this study, we asked how cold plasma would affect the area surrounding cells, known as the extracellular matrix," says lead author Theresa Freeman, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery in the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. The extracellular matrix around cells is made of collagen and other proteins that interact with the cells and can influence their growth and behavior. For example, the extracellular matrix can either promote or inhibit bone formation or cancer cell growth and metastasis.
"We showed that matrix treated with cold plasma generated using microsecond pulsing can promote differentiation of cells into cartilage and increase bone formation," says Dr. Freeman. "Conversely, we showed matrix treated with nanosecond-pulsed cold plasma inhibited cell differentiation and bone formation."
The study demonstrates that cold plasma may be "tuned" to either promote or inhibit cell/matrix interactions by chemically altering the matrix.
The researchers started their experiments by exposing a commercially available extracellular matrix, (Matrigel) to either nanosecond or microsecond pulsed cold plasma at different frequencies. When microsecond cold plasma-treated Matrigel was inserted into a mouse, cells entered the gel and began the process of bone formation. However, far fewer cells entered the nanosecond plasma-treated Matrigel, and bone formation was stunted. Using an in vitro assay, Dr. Freeman and colleagues showed that cells grown on microsecond plasma-treated collagen had higher levels of focal adhesion kinase activation, indicating better cell/matrix attachments which helps initiate bone formation. There were also higher levels of anti-apoptotic proteins, suggesting better cell viability than in nanosecond-cold plasma treated collagen.
"As research into medical applications of cold plasma expands, it will be important to study various plasma types and conditions in tissue models, rather than isolated cells," says Dr. Freeman, "Because cold plasma affects each cell type and matrix protein to produce variable physiological effects," says Dr. Freeman, "it's important to study not just how each cell behaves when exposed, but how they react together within the tissue and organismal environment."

Brighton 1-3 Nottingham Forest
Henri Lansbury scored twice to help 10-man Forest stretch their unbeaten league run to six games with an impressive 3-1 comeback victory at Brighton. The home side went in 1-0 up at half-time thanks to an Andrew Crofts goal, but Lansbury levelled within a minute of the restart. Darius Henderson's low shot on the hour put Forest ahead and a Lansbury penalty two minutes later secured the points. Brighton were unable to take advantage of Nathaniel Chalobah's 67th-minute red card, as Forest's defence stayed solid.
Bournemouth 5-2 Millwall
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was furious after defender Steve Cook was left with a gashed head when a Millwall fan threw a coin at him as his team celebrated their fourth goal – scored by former Millwall striker Lewis Grabban – in a thrilling 5-2 comeback win. "There is no way the players deserve to have things thrown at them. Crowds can shout what they like, football is an emotional game, but that should not have happened." Millwall manager Steve Lomas was unhappy with Alan Dunne's second-half red card. "It was very harsh."
Doncaster 1-0 Leicester
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson played down the horrendous blunder from Kasper Schmeichel that led to a 1-0 defeat to Doncaster. The Danish keeper inexplicably fumbled a corner into his own net when under no pressure. "In a nutshell, the game's been settled by one incident really, but we've not created enough chances in open play to get back in it in the end. Kasper's been exceptionally good since he came to the club. These things happen." Doncaster's Paul Dickov said: "We came up against a top team and competed very well."
And the rest
Charlton and Blackpool played out a drab goalless draw at The Valley, Tom Ince missing a late chance. ■ Watford won 2-1 at Huddersfield – a fourth victory in five games moving them to fifth in the table. ■ Middlesbrough recovered from a goal down to beat Yeovil 4-1 at home. ■ Charlie Austin scored twice as QPR beat bottom side Barnsley 2-0. ■ And struggling Sheffield Wednesday came from behind to draw 1-1 with Ipswich via a Michail Antonio headed equaliser.

Makassed General Hospital, Beirut, Lebanon
Asthma is a common chronic condition. Despite published guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, the real medical practices for this condition vary among different care providers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current perceptions and practices of asthma among asthma specialists in Lebanon.
A cross sectional survey was conducted on asthma specialists in Lebanon in November 2004. The studied parameters included asthma diagnosis, follow-up, treatment, patient education, use of asthma guidelines, demographic characteristics of providers and their involvement in continuous medical education.
Out of 125 practicing pulmonolgists and allergists registered in Lebanon, 70 filled out the questionnaire (56%). These were 20 females (29%) and 50 males (71%). The average age was 42.6+8.5 years. There were 55 pulmonolgists (78.5%), 5 allergists (7.1%) and 10 with double specialty in pulmonary and allergy (14.3%). 81.4% of responders performed spirometry on newly diagnosed subjects with asthma, while 74.3% monitored peak flows. The frequency of use of different treatment modalities for asthma was 94.1% for inhaled steroids, 95.4% for long acting beta-agonists (LABA), 60.6% for Leukotriene antagonists, 32.8% for theophylline, 25.8% for oral anti-histamines and 5.2% for cromolyn sodium. The inhaler technique is often monitored by 65.2% and sometimes by 24.6%, while peak flow diary is often reviewed by 29.9% and sometimes by 34.3%. About 87.9% of the responders indicated that they follow asthma practice guidelines, 84.6% of them reported using the GINA guidelines. Around 92.6% of asthma specialists in Lebanon attended continuous medical education (CME) program on asthma in the past year.
This survey characterizes the pattern of asthma treatment by specialists in Lebanon. The overall performance of the responders meets the international guidelines.
This study provides data for improving the performance of asthma treatment in Lebanon.
