Michael P. Noonan is the director of the program on national security at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, and a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Between the resignation of retired Army Gen. David Petraeus as the CIA director over an extramarital affair; the investigation of ISAF Commander Marine Gen. John Allen over E-mail communications with a Tampa socialite, the early retirement of former USAFRICOM Commander Lt. Gen. (down from General) Kip Ward for travel rule discrepancies, and the allegations against Army Brigadier Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair over an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, one might consider this to be a bad time to be a general or a flag rank officer. Some may even claim that some of the above may be the result of a political witch hunt or even some attempt by the Obama administration to re-assert civilian control, but it would probably be best to put things into a broader perspective and avoid overgeneralizations.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the David Petraeus Scandal.]
Now, to be clear, if allegations are proven correct, then these senior leaders should be held to the very same standards and punishments that lesser ranking subordinates receive—keeping in mind that the Uniformed Code of Military Justice does take into consideration past service and experience in determining punishments. But we should avoid painting with an overly wide brush about the potential behavior of such senior leaders and should also avoid succumbing to conspiracies absent facts. As of March 31, 2012, the Pentagon's personnel office indicated that there were 945 generals and admirals serving on active duty—and of these 38 were serving at the highest four-star general and admirals ranks. So even if allegations of inappropriate behavior are proven about serving officers, then you need to put this into the wider context of their being part of the 945 pool of serving general officer/flag officers.
Some might argue that even one slip up by such senior leaders is unacceptable. Theoretically that is even a compelling argument. But living in the real world exposes us to the frailties of being humans. People will make mistakes. People make mistakes every day. Senior political leaders need to deal with proven misbehavior accordingly and proportionally and not punish those for when appearances of impropriety may simply be derived from unfortunate correlations rather than from proven facts. To do otherwise would be to re-open an era of a zero defects mentality that might deprive the nation of competent senior leaders.

The St. John's volleyball team served up its fifth three game sweep of the 2007 Vietnam Television (VTV) Cup Fourth International Women's Volleyball Tournament as it defeated Shikoku Eighty 8 Queen from Japan, 3-0 (25-17, 25-13, 25-22) Friday evening.
With the win the Red Storm advances to the final match of the 2007 VTV Cup and will battle the national team of Vietnam for the championship. First serve is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. local time, 6:30 a.m. in New York. Vietnam advanced to the final match with a 3-0 victory over Zetyssu of Kazakhstan.
St. John's and Japan went head-to-head in the beginning of the first game before Shikoku Eighty 8 Queen took the lead on a block from Ayana Ida. Japan continued to push ahead but the Red Storm remained close and tied the game, 11-11, on a block from Hui Ping Huang (Shanghai, China) and Valeria Kovaleva (Moscow, Russia). A kill from Dana DeMayo (Ra'anana, Israel) gave St. John's a one-point lead, 13-12, and the squad never looked back and they cruised to a 25-17 victory on a kill from Patti Hardimon (Honolulu, Hawaii).
In the second game, Japan tried to take control quickly with a 3-0 lead on points from Mari Hirayama and Megumi Otsuki. St. John's answered back tying the score, 4-4, on Japanese errors. Back-to-back points from Latoya Blunt (Vacaville, Calif.) gave the Red Storm a three-point advantage, 7-4. St. John's continued to control the game on successful attacks from Hardimon, Huang and Kovaleva. A block from Kovaleva ended game two, 25-13, in the Red Storm's favor.
Hardimon slammed the ball down to open game three in St. John's favor. However, Japan was not going to give up quite yet and battled point-for-point with St. John's. A kill from Blunt tied the score, 6-6, and a block from Huang put the Red Storm up by two, 8-6. Japan kept the score close but was unable to tie the score. The squad came within one five times before knotting the score, 18-18. Once again the two teams went head-to-head. A kill from DeMayo finally put the Red Storm up by one, 23-22, and a kill from Hardimon brought the game to a close, 25-22.
Huang led the Red Storm with 16 total points (nine kills, six blocks, one ace); while Blunt tallied 13 points (eight kills, five blocks). Libero Kathleen Yee (Honolulu, Hawaii) posted a match-high nine digs, while Leszczynska dished out an impressive match-high 30 assists.
For Shikoku Eighty 8 Queen, Hirayama registered nine points (eight kills, one block); while Otsuki recorded seven digs and Marina Kasamatsu posted five kills.
At the end of day six, St. John's had five athletes ranked on the tournament's best scorers list (No. 3 Huang, No. 8 Blunt, No. 11 Hardimon, No. 29 Kovaleva, No. 30 DeMayo). Huang continues to hold onto the No. 2 spot on the best spikers list, while also entering the best blockers list at No. 5.
The 2006 BIG EAST Libero of the Year Yee remains the No. 1 best digger and No. 1 best libero of the tournament, while Hardimon moves up one stop on the best receivers list (No. 2). On the best setters list, Leszczynska maintains her status at the tournament's No. 1 setter.
Before heading to bed, sophomore Yee checked in with RedStormSports.com to post the team's eighth daily journal entry. To view her postcard, click here.

Folic Acid
Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin essential in the human diet. It is an important cofactor in the synthesis of DNA and RNA of dividing cells, particularly during pregnancy and infancy when there is an increase in cell division and growth.
Folic acid is important to the field of oncology in two ways. First, prior to neoplasm formation, folic acid is important in the synthesis of DNA and RNA and the repair of damaged DNA. Second, after a tumor develops, a form of folic acid is used to counter the side effects of methotrexate and fluorouracil.
Prior to tumor formation
Since folic acid is a cofactor in DNA replication and biosynthesis of purines and also in DNA repair, there is an increasing amount of research (epidemiological, clinical, and experimental) that suggests a folic acid deficiency
After tumors form
Once a neoplasm forms, folic acid levels need to be decreased. In neoplasms, DNA replication and cell division are both occurring in an uncontrolled manner. Folate, which assists in this process, needs to be inhibited, causing an interruption in DNA synthesis and slowing the growth of the tumor. Chemotherapeutic agents called antimetabolites, or folic acid antagonists, such as methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), inhibit the enzymatic pathways for biosynthesis of nucleic acids by substituting for folic acid and sabotaging the reaction. Unfortunately, drugs that inhibit the biosynthesis of cancer cells also inhibit the biosynthesis of normal cells, resulting in extremely toxic side effects. To counter the side effects, a drug called leucovorin (a form of folate also known as Wellcovorin, Citrovorum and folinic acid) opposes the toxic effects of methotrexate on normal tissue. Leucovorin also increases the anticancer effect of 5-FU.

Two Heroes of Sefirat HaOmer
Two great giants of Jewish History are involved in the observance of the Days of Sefirat HaOmer; they are Rabbi Akiva and his student, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. Rabbi Akiva is involved in the sad aspect of the Days, because, according to tradition, 24,000 of his students perished during this period. The reason generally given is that they were punished for not properly respecting one another. Somehow, though, this jars, because of the extraordinary ethical qualities of their Rebbe, who had asserted that "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" is the primary teaching of the Torah. Perhaps, the students were lost in the Bar Kochba War, of which Rabbi Akiva was a strong advocate, and which the Jewish People as a whole lost because of their ethical failings; the students "taking the rap," so to speak, for the People as a whole. In any case, any ordinary Rebbe would certainly have been crushed by this loss. Not so Rabbi Akiva, who demonstrated his great faith at that time and for all generations, when he rebuilt his yeshiva. By this, he asserted again his truly unique capability of seeing light in the blackest darkness, redemption in the face of utter devastation, as he had when he, with several colleagues, overlooked the Temple Mount leveled by the Romans. They had wept, he had laughed, and he explained his laughter by his confidence that just as the prophecies of destruction had come true, so surely would the prophecies of redemption. Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai is associated with the happier aspect of Sefirat HaOmer; Lag BaOmer, the thirty-third Day of the Omer. This day is celebrated by Jews worldwide mainly because, according to tradition, the plague which had decimated the students, suddenly ceased on that day. But Lag BaOmer, the 18th day of Iyar, is also the Yahrtzeit, the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Shimon. The major role in Jewish History played by the G-dly Tanna, as he is called, is as the author of the Zohar. This work is the basis of that aspect of Torah known as "Torat HaSod", the "Secret Torah," a.k.a. "Kabbalah" which, while it is the deepest and most esoteric branch of Torah study, it also paradoxically has the greatest appeal to the masses. Kabbalah is one of the foundations of Chassidut. Its study is not without risk, as we know from the Talmud's account of the four great scholars who "entered the Pardes" (not to be confused with the Orthodox Union's Pardes Project) Literally, a "pardes" is an orchard; but the word is also an acronym, as PaRDeS, where "P," corresponding to the Hebrew Letter, "Pai," stands for
"Pshat," "simple meaning" Of the four great scholars who entered the "orchard," which in its "Sod" or "secret" aspect must have involved entering a state resembling deep meditation, the only one who emerged unscathed was Rabbi Akiva. Tens of thousands of Jews gather in Meron each year on Lag BaOmer to light torches, dance and sing with great joy the "zemirot," the songs, composed in honor of the one who preserved the traditions of Jewish Mysticism. Lag BaOmer is itself also a torch in the Night of Exile, which has helped the Jewish People survive the Galut - "Bar Yochai! You were anointed - you are fortunate - With oil of joy from your fellows!" |

The German precious metals trading group Heraeus's prediction that the platinum price would experience another setback was proven correct last week, as the white metal's price fell to $1,660 per ounce. According to Heraeus, several factors are responsible for modest price appreciation in the platinum sector.
The slowdowns in the US and Chinese economies are partly to blame. Platinum price analysts are also paying particular attention to car markets around the world. Platinum and palladium are both precious metals, but are perceived more as industry metals among market participants, with both metals are used in the production of catalyst systems. Though since March there has been an increasing number of negative forecasts on platinum's price development, some think that the negative medium-term outlook for the platinum sector has already been factored in at the markets.
Europe's escalating sovereign debt crisis is also placing a lid on the platinum price as well. The Greek parliament's vote last week to authorise additional austerity measures eased investor fears somewhat. But many now expect the spotlight to turn to Ireland, since the government in Dublin is likely to ask the European Union and the International Monetary Fund for a second bailout this year, too. The Irish government had intended to return to the bond markets in 2013 in order to refinance the state without external assistance again. The country's statistics bureau recently published a report saying that Ireland's GDP grew by 1.3% in Q1, raising hopes at the markets that the country might be on the mend. However, others pointed out that these GDP calculations were masking the losses suffered by Ireland-based multinational companies. GNP measures – which take these losses into account – declined by 4.3% in Q1.
Ireland's unemployment rate is currently at a 17-year high, and as long as the country's economic growth rate does not pick up significantly, new losses in the almost entirely nationalised banking sector will have to be expected. Experts already say that the 85-billion-euro bailout could turn out to be insufficient to sustainably stabilise the Irish banking system. Recently released data have already hinted to a considerable slowdown in the car sales – with the exception of Germany and France – in most of the EU member states. Thus, Europe's continuing debt problems were strongly weighing on the platinum price as well.
According to Heraeus, capital investors have been acting very cautiously at the platinum market for some time. This development was well reflected by the fact that long-term investors are still sitting on the sidelines, and are unsure of whether or not to take long positions in the metal. A growing number of global capital investors and industrial end users seemed to be pessimistic regarding the white metal's further price development, and both the physical demand for platinum bars as well as sector Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are under sales pressure at the moment. For now, platinum bulls will have to be patient.

Helps veterans overcome stigma associated with asking for help
NEGAUNEE -- Since January of 2008, the Michigan Buddy-to-Buddy program has helped 1,700 members of the National Guard readjust to civilian life.
The program is part of the "Welcome Back Veterans" initiative and is sponsored by Major League Baseball Charities and the McCormick Foundation. It has recently expanded to include all Michigan service members, not just the National Guard.
The "buddies" are all trained volunteers and veterans themselves.
"You come back from overseas, things are different. You've changed, your family's changed, everything's different," explained Vietnam veteran and Buddy-to-Buddy volunteer, Norm Satterly.
But the Buddy-to-Buddy program is here to make that transition as easy as possible. It's a peer support program, run locally through the University of Michigan Depression Center. It matches veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom with vets from previous conflicts.
"So what we're trying to do as buddies--guys who've walked the walk, who've been there before and have gone through some of this--can really talk to them and help them overcome the stigma," Satterly said.
That stigma he's speaking of is the fear of getting help...appearing weak. Buddy-to-Buddy is not actually a form of therapy. Instead, it's just a couple of buddies meeting to ease the stress behind re-acclimating to civilian life. The meetings, for the most part, are informal. In fact, it's often just a telephone conversation.
"If an individual has had a certain experience that one of the veterans has had a very similar experience, we would match them with them," explained Buddy-to-Buddy Program Manager Jennifer Di Falco.
If the buddies determine that outside help is the best bet for the returning vet, Buddy-to-Buddy can put them in touch with the right organizations.
According to Di Falco, the buddies goals are as follows: "To move forward and do something different, to make changes, get help that they need, as well as link them to resources and services in the community."
Buddy-to-Buddy is always looking for volunteers, especially here in the U.P. If you're a veteran interested in offering your help, or if you or someone you know could benefit from what the program has to offer, the telephone number is 1-888-82-BUDDY. You can also visit them online at www.buddytobuddy.org.

One of the best ways to save costs and improve your ROI is to shift is from traditional marketing to advocate marketing. So you will need to put as much effort into referrals as you do into marketing efforts. Remember if you had 50 advocates that give 2 referrals a year is 100 great leads a year. Here's some things to keep in mind -
- It's easy to create 50 advocates.
- Make it easy for people to advocate for you.
- Appreciate and thank them for their advocacy.
- Tell them how to be an advocate.
- Continue to innovate your services so it's easy to be an advocate for you.
- Make you service clearly better then anyone in the market.
- Live your service/values/philosophy don't just sell'em.
- Get really good at using 3rd party edification to your advantage.

Good internet, but room was never cleaned in 5 days i was there. Great location, just walking distance from Full moon party. Also no blankets on bed, which I though was strange.

Probably the most perfect location for the full moon party as it is literally steps away from the beach !! the bar is really great an lively at night and is a great spot to meet ppl and pre drink. All the rooms have a key-code lock on the door so its very secure. I stayed in the 20 dorm and i think it was the safest room b/c its right behind the bar and you dont actually notice that its there. Staff is amazing, very helpful and loads of fun.

The only thing I liked about this place was the location. Full moon party beach is 30 sec walk. Stayed five nights during full moon. If you are thinking to get a good night sleep, then you must be a silly rabbit. Toilets were too small, one of them had roaches in. Place didn't get clean at all during 5 day stay. Power and water went out few times during stay. Basically, for the full moon party, the place was alright but not good enough for my standard to stay there for five nights.

As Rupee falls below 68, government says no need for panic
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 28th August 2013 07:53 PM
Last Updated: 28th August 2013 08:27 PM
As the Rupee fell below the 68-mark and global agencies painted a gloomy outlook for the economy, the government today sought to reassure investors by saying there was no need for panic as the decline in the domestic currency was a reflection of "irrational sentiment."
"There is no need to panic. The Indian economy is strong and we will turn it around," Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said.
While the Rupee fell 256 paise to close at a record low of 68.80 to a dollar, Standard & Poor's cautioned that the road ahead for countries with large deficits, including India, is "rocky in the near term."
The Rupee dropped today as oil prices rose in Asian trade on concerns over possible military action against Syria, adding to concerns about the current account deficit and capital outflows.
Trying to assuage investors, Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram said: "This is an irrational sentiment. It will correct itself. It is important to stay on the course. There is no need to panic."
The mayhem in the currency market was extended to equities, with the S&P BSE Sensex declining 9 per cent in the past month.
As dark clouds loomed over the economy, French financial services major BNP Paribas lowered its growth forecast for India to 3.7 per cent from 5.2 per cent earlier, saying the situation was fast approaching a crisis proportion.
Reflecting the uncertainty in the economy, gold prices jumped by a record Rs 2,500 to Rs 34,500 per 10 grams.
A worried Finance Minister P Chidambaram yesterday had said the rupee is undervalued and came out with a 10-point action plan to revive the economy, which included promoting exports, encouraging manufacturing and reducing the fiscal deficit and CAD.
Singapore-based DBS Bank said: "The string of recent policy action might only help to manage the pace of depreciation and limit volatility rather than reverse the course of the currency.
"The effort to effectively defend the currency is turning into a losing battle in this environment."
Seeking to reassure investors, Mayaram said the current account deficit in 2013-14 will be much lower than expected.
"CAD will be much lower than expected. We have already seen some moderation in CAD," he said.
CAD, which is the difference between the inflow and outflow of foreign exchange, hit a record high of USD 88.2 billion in 2012-13. The government expects to bring it down to USD 70 billion in the current fiscal.
Mayaram further said the government does not plan to ban derivatives trading in the currency market, a move that experts feel could help in curbing speculation.
The declining rupee may make cars, TVs, washing machines and other home appliances more expensive, with companies set to hike prices to offset the impact on their margins.
India Inc said the government must take urgent measures such as issuing sovereign guaranteed bonds and exempting FIIs from short-term capital gains tax to stem the rupee's slide.
India's economic growth slipped to a decade's low of 5 per cent during 2012-13. The growth rate in the fourth quarter ended March 31 stood at 4.8 per cent compared with 4.7 per cent in the third quarter of 2012-13.
The government expects growth to recover in the current fiscal. The growth estimate for the first quarter is scheduled for release on August 30.

I have simple solution. There are two Hindu Gods, Lord Venkateswara known as Balaji, the Lord of Wealth, and Goddess Lakshmi. Why not all Indians invoke Goddess Lakshmi? You see, if you pray to Lakshmi, she will give you Gold Coins, yes lots of Gold Coins. See any picture of Lakshmi, and you will see She showers people with Gold Coins from her right hand. So why bother about money at all? No one need to go to work at all, Lakshmi and Venkateswara will give all the money and Gold Coins you guys want. Problem solved! Now go try it...and let me know!

We are basically Agriculture country. Let us work hard to improve the output to international stds. Let us become food surplus country . Our younger generation is very intelligent, but wayward with entertainments and enjoyment and no hard work. Let us concentrate on manufacturing sector and export our produce and become a competitor to china. The quality is the factor here. As upanishad says " Om Krato smara, krutam smara " ( think of work and work alone) , we work hard and come out of this doldrums Bala

Hello all,
I organised all my physical files in alphabetical order and keep a little guide about what things are under what (for example does gas bill go under G or under H for house or under B for bills etc)
Is there a simpler way do do this on my computer as I have so many more files for so many more things - is it just personal preference as to how you decide file things....for example in my case amongst other things I manage some rental properties so I could have a file name houses with sub files for each property or I could have a file for each house under the letter for the name of the house....what is the best way? Is there a best way as it is driving me nuts and then when I come to look at the file I can't remember where it is an have to go hunting..ok it will only be in one of two or three places so I guess it's not so bad. Any thoughts appreicated :D

If baseball' s proposed new replay system was in place Wednesday night, A's manager Bob Melvin wouldn't have to had to run out to argue a call, he wouldn't have been tossed, and the game might have been altered entirely. Melvin could have simply challenged the out call of Eric Sogard and it would have been reviewed in the A's favor (because Sogard was pretty clearly safe).
That's what we have to look forward to as early as next season if it gets the owners' approval as expected in November, and it can't get here fast enough. Replay will help baseball just as it has helped other sports in getting the call right most of the time on bang-bang base plays, balls down the line, home run calls and other calls not involving balls and strikes.
"As long as they don't have robot back there beeping whether it's a ball or a strike, it's fine with me," said pitcher Brett Anderson, who makes his first rehab start Saturday in Sacramento. "As long as they work out the process where it doesn't stop the game. Baseball's long enough and pretty much boring as it is in certain times, you don't want it to halt the flow of the game too much.
"At least they're doing something about it," Anderson continued. "It takes a little bit of the human element out of the game. As long as it doesn't affect balls and strikes, which would change the game entirely. But as far as cut and dry, out and safe, fair or foul, home run or not home run, you should be able to get those right every time. Whether it affects the outcome of the game good or bad for us, at least you can go home and feel comfortable about the fact that it was the right call and you can live with it."
Melvin said he didn't want to comment at length until it's official, but then was pretty explicit about how he feels. For one, he believes replay needs to be instituted.
"My stance has probably changed on that in the last year or so," he said. "You want to get it right, and I was always a little bit of a traditionalist before where there's human error involved. But as long as everybody's on the same page with it and the idea is to get it right, I'm all for that."
Melvin said he believes having a central site that decides replay challenges "could potentially speed it up. Where the flags come into play, I'm not really sure, but you not only want to get it right, you want to get it right quickly. So if someone's watching it, and is on top of it, and has the use of replay very quickly, then that certainly doesn't sound like a bad thing to me."
Prospectively, managers will get three replay challenges per game, two in the first six innings and one in the final three, and all challenged plays will be ruled upon at MLB headquarters in New York City, similar to the way the National Hockey League rules on all of its controversial goal replays in Toronto.


text: For an entire week I've been working on a canvas/html5 project of mine: the Kiflea Engine. "What's that?", you ask? It stands for "Kipdola's Flat Earth" Engine. It's a tiled based engine on which you can build a game. Or at least: that's the goal of the project. I'm not there yet, even though I feel like I've already made huge advancements. The maps are built using Tiled. Any tileset you load in there will load in the engine. The HUD is built using a simple JSON file, ... As you can see in the image above, I've just finished my pathfinding algorithm. If you want to try the engine in its current state out, you can do so here. If you would like to download the source, I've set up an SVN repository over here: http://kipdola.be/trac/repos/ You can download the code by executing this SVN command: svn co http://kipdola.be/svn/kiflea/I would really apreciate any feedback, ideas, code optimization (did I tell you this is my first ever JavaScript program?), patches, ... Don't ask my why you can't kill anything, though. It's an engine, not a game (yet). var flattr_url = 'http://www.kipdola.be/en/blog/skerit/126-presenting-kiflea-canvas-game-engine-html5';On the main page ofour Kipdola site is a flash video just under the menu. When a menu expands, it unfortunately hides behind the flash file. That's incredibly annoying. I searched for a few fixes. Some suggested to adjust the z-index of the menu, but that still did not work. At least not in Firefox. And then I found out you actually have to add a few parameters to the object itself. These, to be precise: <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />This goes in the <object> element. For it to work on both Firefox and IE you have to add another one to the <embed> element. Like this: <embed src="http://some.url/flash.swf" wmode="transparent">So the video in the showcase section on our frontpage has this code: <object width="400" height="225"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11104140&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" /> <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11104140&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225" wmode="transparent"> </embed> </object>It also does what it says: makes the flash object transparent. Vimeo, for example, shows a little animation while loading the video. With transparency turned on this isn't drawn on a black background, but directly on your page. Which is pretty Have you ever had a bunch of subdirectories each filled with only one zip file? Or have you ever had a task that needed to be done in the same way? Well here's a handy little line of code that will help you on your way! find -name '*.zip' | xargs -n1 echo unzipThis doesn't actually do anything yet, it searches for .zip files in every subdirectory relative to the one you're currently in and then echoes what it'll do to those files once you remove the `echo` command So actually typing: find -name '*.zip' | xargs -n1 unzipWill perform the command. Another example, if you want to copy lots of files from the subdirectory of one map to another, you can do this: find /home/user/map/ -name "*.txt" | xargs -i cp -v .This will copy every .txt file under any directory, starting from /home/user/map/, to your current directory. (No matter where you are) I love it, and it has saved me lots of time! Binny V A over at Bin-Blog has written something marvellous: a print_r function for Javascript. What does it do? It takes an array (or hash or object) and prints out every key with its value. If it comes along another array, it does the same thing again. It's such a useful feature in PHP, it's a great debugger-friend. There are a few code snippets out there that do the same job, but I thought this one was quite small and compact. Don't forget to wrap it in a <pre> tag to get a nice layout. /** * Function : dump() * Arguments: The data - array,hash(associative array),object * The level - OPTIONAL * Returns : The textual representation of the array. * This function was inspired by the print_r function of PHP. * This will accept some data as the argument and return a * text that will be a more readable version of the * array/hash/object that is given. * Docs: http://www.openjs.com/scripts/others/dump_function_php_print_r.php */ function dump(arr,level) else } } else return dumped_text; }I've only recently gotten into Javascript, thanks to the <canvas> element. I'm currently building a 2D tile-based render engine for a game. (What better way to learn something new than to build a game, right?) Ofcourse, this game also has to respond to the keyboard. I got tired of looking up keycodes real quick and decided to just create an associative array out of them, for the hell of it. My IDE even autocompletes them. Here's the list: // A var storing all useful keys for easy access var key =Now you can use things like "key.Uparrow" in your code in stead of it's corresponding number. For example: // Bind the onKeyDown function to the onkeydown event. window.onkeydown = onKeyDown; /** *This function is called whenever a key is pressed on the keyboard *@param key The key */ function onKeyDown(keypress) } |
