On Providers
I was dismayed to read the unfortunate characterization of anesthesiologists as anesthesia "providers" in the title and text of a recent ASA NEWSLETTER update on developing a staffing model.1 Anesthesiologists are professionals, not "providers." We did not attend "provider" college or serve "provider" apprenticeships; we graduated from medical school and completed residency training. Many of us also finished clinical or research fellowships and obtained advanced degrees. We persevered through the rigorous ABA examination process to become board-certified consultants in our specialty. I suppose that on a superficial level, the word "provider" may be just another annoying, if somewhat innocuous, business-speak term from planet M.B.A. (such inane words as "metric," "throughput" and "paradigm" also come to mind) that vainly attempts to lend gravity to the propaganda spewed out by hospital administrators. But from my perspective as a cardiac anesthesiologist, the word "provider" is condescending and pejorative. It is an insulting affront to the professional integrity of all of us who have earned, through many years of training, dedication and hard work, the privilege to care for patients during some of the most stressful times in their lives. When anesthesiologists allow demeaning corporate jargon such as "provider" to define us, our professional identity vanishes and we are minimized as an inconsequential part of a medical-industrial complex (acknowledgment to C. Wright Mills)2 in which our unique abilities are neither
respected nor appreciated.

Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center - Houston, Texas
Dementia Diagnosis: A Caregiver's Story
November 3, 2010
By Wanda M. Shedd, Caregiver
Army Veteran Hubert McCarty (middle) and his daughter, Wanda Shedd, meet with Mark Kunik, M.D., M.P.H., a psychiatrist at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. "VA health care and VA research have provided me with the knowledge and resources necessary to cope with my father's disease," said Shedd.
I am a caregiver for my 84-year old father, Mr. Hubert McCarty. We are originally from New Orleans, La. but moved to Houston after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Before the hurricane, my father lived independently, worked every day, was self-employed, and did fine.
While living with me in Houston as time passed, I began to notice a change in his memory. Since he is a veteran of World War II, I brought him to the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center to be checked out. This is how and when he was diagnosed with dementia.
Entering into caregiving I thought would be easy. I am energetic, very active with few worries or problems. So, I thought I would be fine. I could adjust.
But very soon, I discovered I was not adjusted or fine or able to keep up with his changes. I had concerns and problems. How do I take care of him? What about me and my emotions? My mental ability to cope? What about my stress, strain, denial, anger, anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability, exhaustion, social life, some depression, and now health problems? Who do I go to see? Where do I go? Mainly, how do I get help for both of us?
I went back to my dad's primary care doctor at the DeBakey VA. We were quickly referred to the Partners in Dementia Care (PDC) Project with Geropsychiatrist Mark Kunik, M.D., M.P.H. and his outstanding team.
An innovative partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Alzheimer's Association, the goal of PDC is to work together to improve care and outcomes for Veterans with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias as well as their family caregivers.
PDC is a wonderful and very informative program. It has been so helpful to my dad and me by giving me a specific action plan to help with a wide variety of issues and problems. I joined a support group to talk with others like myself, found an adult care program, and received education about future changes I could expect with my father.
I was connected to the right people and to great informative resources and services: the Alzheimer's Association, Houston-Galveston Area Council Area Agency on Aging, elder care, First Alert, AARP, Medicare, home-delivered meals, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program, and so many others.
What amazed me the most about PDC was the continuous telephone calls; all to see how things were going and to offer help to me at any time. They were not only concerned about my father, but about me, too. I am always kept abreast with the latest developments and feedback. When I have a particular concern, it is addressed promptly. I would recommend PDC to all who care for an elderly Veteran. The staff is full of love, care, and affection.
This program has had a tremendous impact on our lives. It has helped me to realize you never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice. And that I don't have to be strong by myself.
Note: The Partners in Dementia Care Project is funded by the Houston VA Health Services Research & Development Center of Excellence.

More Death threats
The following is from a blog called Gather: There's mounting evidence that at least some of Obama's faithful intend to see a black American president sworn in next year — no matter what it takes. Earlier this month, popular black author and talk-show host Tavis Smiley disclosed death threats he'd received from those accusing him of blasphemy against their black prophet. Then, at Saturday's Smiley-hosted | Read More »

The carpet — consisting of some 24,000 potted pansies, with lettuce plants providing verdancy — was installed April 7. But that doesn't mean it won't change over the course of the next several weeks. (It's on display through April 25.)
For a while this is indeed a piece of public sculpture. It's also an organic, growing thing — a fitting symbol for this new age of "green" environmentalism.
"It grows and changes daily," says Bill Donabedian, Fountain Square's managing director. "And about two weeks into it, the pansies become fully fragrant and the smell is just wonderful."
And in what's become a tradition for the Fountain Square floral carpet, the pansies are given away beginning 8 a.m. April 26 on a first-come, first-served basis.
"It takes two days and 20 people to put it together, and it's gone within an hour," Donabedian says.
This is the third year for the floral carpet, which was begun as an activity promoting the newly redesigned Fountain Square after a Procter & Gamble employee saw the famous Flowercarpet at Grand-Place in Brussels.
With P&G support and flowers from Cincinnati Park Board, Fountain Square started a more modest-sized one here, using hardy pansies for early spring. This year's will occupy 7,000 square feet of space and use eight colors: white, violet, yellow, red, rose, orange, blue and pink. Donabedian says the event costs more than $50,000 to produce.
It will also be different from last year's in some key ways that show the always-changing, evolving thinking that goes into the making of any kind of public art. The first year's design was based on a Cincinnati Art Museum tapestry.
Last year Donabedian asked for idea submissions from the public at large. Each of the submissions proposed representational designs, and the selected one was of a butterfly. But problems emerged. In order for people to see it clearly, they had to leave Fountain Square to gain a (high) perspective from one of the surrounding buildings.
So this year the carpet design (pictured above) will be more abstract — a symbolic interpretation of spring using interacting circles of varying colors. Thus, the hope is that it can be fully appreciated on site. And a professional Cincinnati graphic designer, Joel Kneuven, was hired to do it.
To more fully engage visitors with the carpet, there will be three large, separated sections on the square.
"Now it will be more like a garden than a carpet," Donabedian says. "We're trying to break down the square box that the carpet was in. Last year, you could walk through it on a mulch path if you wanted to. This year, you walk through it regardless."
There already are new plans being considered for next year, including evening lighting and viewing towers. And maybe, following the latest movie trend, a 3-D floral carpet.
"We want to experiment and not just have it flat," Donabedian says. "We could have small rises and have certain colors higher than others for a 3-D effect. We want to keep it interesting."
In other art news, the Cincinnati Art Museum announced the inaugural winner of its 4th Floor Award for local and regional contemporary artists: Don Lambert of Maineville, whose art emphasizes sculpture and new genres. He'll receive $1,000 and a solo exhibition at the museum from Sept. 5 through Nov. 29. One piece from that show will be acquired by the museum. Four finalists will receive $500 each.

All Firearms
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
I've never even seen one of these before! - that's how uncommon they are. They take the standard 5.56mm round (.223 civilian), just like the AR-15 and M-16. And, they take standard AR-15 hi-cap magazines, which are readily available in most states. A very unusual design - I'm told that it was originally developed by the military for use by downed Air Force pilots. It's actually a pistol, and the grip and barrel twist to the left or right - depending on whether you want to shoot left or right-handed. The front and rear sights also pivot. Barrel is 12". Over-all length is 20 3/4". All original, with flash suppressor. In excellent condition - looks like it's hardly been fired. From the Bushmaster Armpistol Manual: "The Bushmaster weapons system was based on the function and operating principles of the patented IMP aircrew survival weapon designed at the United States Air Force Armament Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base. Subsequent design changes integrated the battle proven characteristics of the U. S. military M16 and the unexcelled gas system of the Russian military AK-47; thus attaining the simplicity and functionability of the current Bushmaster production". For more information on these guns, go to: http://www.biggerhammer.net/armpistol/ Shipping is $24 to the 48 states. YOU CAN BUY IT ON PAYMENTS - READ ON: Must ship to a gun dealer in your state (just have them send me a copy of their FFL). Need to find a dealer? - Send me your zip code, and I'll send you a list of dealers in your area who are happy to do transfers. Note: shipping is $24, via US Post Office - AK & HI shipping $48.00 . Money Orders or Cashier's Checks are okay, but no personal or business checks accepted (I've had bad experiences with checks). Don't have the money right now? I do accept 20% down, with the balance due within 60 days (no need to get my permission to use this option). PLEASE NOTE: If you win an auction, you are obligated to buy it, even if you change your mind, lose your job (or your mate), have medical bills, or military service obligations.

The Evidence Is Too Great, Don't Bet Against It
Sure, any and all speculation about what the Criterion "wacky" clues really mean are going to be aimless and hypothetical (and, as such, have just as likely a probability of being way off-base and wrong), but there are a few from the past that have called to us with their obviousness: the parrot that wore the "Che" T-shirt, for instance; the golden scarab from "Cronos" or the thin red lion standing in for Terrence Malick's "Thin Red Line."
While certainly not as obvious as those two, we're fairly certain that the new clue (an owl wearing headphones and saying "What?") points to the studio releasing a deluxe edition of Brian De Palma's brilliant, heartbreaking thriller "Blow Out," sometime in the not-too-distant future (and, with any luck, also on Blu-ray).
"Blow Out," released in 1981 to apathetic audiences and a measured critical response (Pauline Kael loved it), was De Palma's wry riff on Michelangelo Antonioni's "Blowup," as well as indulging in a number of his sturdy stable of thematic obsessions -- voyeurism, paranoia and political unease. In the film, John Travolta (in what still might be his best screen role) plays a man who records sound effects for a living. One night, while out recording, he accidentally captures a murder, and from there it's one of the tightest, most technically unparalleled thrillers of the period. (And, also, one of the most overlooked.)
Recently, the DVD went out of print, so it's great that Criterion swooped in and will hopefully deliver an unparalleled collection of special features (as well as some well-scrubbed audio and video). The movie is one of De Palma's very best films, featuring fine performances from not only Travolta but also then-wife Nancy Allen and John Lithgow as a hired killer who gets a little too carried away with his job.
The movie is also noteworthy for Vilmos Zsigmond's wonderful cinematography, a grand and eerie score by Pino Donaggio, and a gloriously downbeat, nihilistic ending that seemed more in place with the rebellious cinema of the 1970s than with the more commercial fare of the decade in which it was released. We couldn't be more thrilled with the news, er, clue.

Okayama, Japan—Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 3–7% of school children, the American Psychiatric Association states. There could be a nutritional component to the condition, according to new data published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics. A team headed by a Kurashiki City College researcher, based here, believes a soy-derived phosphatidylserine (PS) may help improve ADHD symptoms in kids.
The times they are a changing. Born between 1946 and 1964, many Baby Boomers fulfilled the American Dream by owning houses, raising families and living comfortably. Companies courted them, tailoring products to meet their specific needs for joint care, anti-aging, blood sugar support and more. However, a new group of consumers is coming of age with the potential to change our market: Generation Y (AKA the Millennials).
Phoenix, AZ—Sprouts Farmers Market has been named the WholeFoods Retailer of the Year for 2013. A chain of neighborhood grocery stores with the feel of an old-fashioned farmers market, Sprouts has 155 locations and counting as of April 2013. Customers can find everyday staples and value-priced specialty items in every bright and friendly store, says the company.

Finding the perfect springtime mountain biking tire can be as challenging as a technical granny gear climb. Ever changing weather can drastically alter trail conditions from dry and dusty to wet and muddy. Here are nine tires that will help you keep the rubber side down no matter what the trail conditions are like.
The updated tubeless-ready Hutchinson Toro is yet another all-around tire that's adaptable to a variety of trail conditions. The Toro's highlight feature is what Hutchinson calls Hardskin technology, where a dense yet flexible textile grid is used to reinforce the tire's casing. By placing this compound on the sidewalls, you increase puncture resistance without reducing performance. The Toro also features open lateral knobs for better trail penetration and low center knobs that enhance mud shedding.
Sizes: 26x2.15; 29x2.15

:roflmao2::lol:this thread has gotten to be too much fun....:bang::roflmao:
great photos. other than the OP. The blue Professional is such a classy bike. Saw one all original in LBS a couple months ago.
My 10$ raleigh in the basement with campy parts didn't get near this much attention!
bump. Any more info?
$3.50 anyone?
No, but I did get a Paramount for free.
and here we are again.... still waiting.....
For the "free Paramount" pics? Here they are:
Also the only bike I know of that was subjected to some gorilla who succeeded in wrecking both Campagnolo shifter levers:
And if someone doesn't like me hijacking this Raleigh thread with a Schwinn, please send me a Raleigh Professional in care of my name to rectify this problem - PM me for my address.
Maybe the OP would like to donate his so it can be photographed once and for all? :lol:
Nice Schwinn.
Here is another pic of my friend's Professional.
I don't have a Raleigh Pro that looks just like the OP's. Paid $1.50 for it.
I just had to come in here and see why in the heck this thread is on page 5. Last I left it, it was on page 1.
Pictures or ban!
Ahh, nothing like a bunch of smart-aleks so early in the morning. Finally rode it to school (it was a long weekend) and used the school's digi-cam for the important stuff...Serial # (now that I have etched through the gunk = E900376. I doubt it's a grand prix, because I doubt that anyone in their right mind would get this much name brand stuff on a bargain bin bike - Cinelli handlebars and stem, Campy headset, BB, crank, chainrings, QR hubs, pedals, seat post, and gearset. Mavic rims. Can't get the camera close enough to read the Campy logos on EVERYTHING, but here it is:
And last but not least - RUST! There's rust in patches on certain parts of the bike (especially around the cable clamps), but here's the worst (you can also, kinda, see the shape of the holes in the BB). FYI, there are 3 identical ovals in the BB, if you can't see the rear one.
Oh yeah...forgot the most important marking...
Props to the OP for coming through with the photos, and, congratulations on bagging yourself a Raleigh Professional Mark V (with a very uncommon Super Record FD).
Interesting that it happens to be a respray, though except for the screwed-on (as opposed to riveted) headbadge, and special 531 decal, there would be no indication of it.
Thanks. Now that we've got photos, are there any other parts that you'd like to see? And what makes it a Mk. 5? Also, how can you tell it's a pro, as opposed to something else? Also, what does the serial number mean? May, 1979, 376th one built?
Also, it doesn't have any markings on it (raleigh or professional) did this "edition" have those, or was it unmarked, like this one? I'm assuming that they just didn't add it back when they repainted it.
And as far as not having a digital camera - $70K in student loans, a $55K mortgage and a $3K car payment on a 2nd year teacher's salary pretty much taps me out. One of the reasons I started commuting on bike.
Everything looks as I would expect it to be on a Pro - that's what I base it on. No other Raleigh model looked similar. Serial is beyond me, unfortunately.
All of them had the "Raleigh" downtube logo with the "Professional" top tube script. I dare say they were simply not added during the respray, or they flaked off in the meantime.
It's a 1980. Serial number is WE00 - not WE90? If WE9, it would be a '79. Yes, it's a MK V - we can tell by the lugs, the color and the fork - which is not the 1-piece I asked about, but I can understand there being confusion there. Until you've seen the two together... :)
Nice bike. Take care of that rust around the BB ASAP. Bike is otherwise quite nice - and for $10.00, you should send thank you cards to the seller for the next 10 years. ;)
I can't read the W, but it is E900376 - guessing that there's a W before it, though through the rust, it looks kinda like a D...
About the rust, until I can find someone to repaint it on my budget, are there places that I can buy spray bombs in a very similar color? (I'd tape it off, so it would just be the bottom of the BB that got shot.
And the forks - I changed it a ways down - it isn't a 1 piece - sorry you didnt' see that edit.
Excellent find! And thanks for posting those pics. That "respray" Reynolds sticker is a new one for me; I wonder if that means it was done at the Raleigh factory?
Here's a link to that 1979 Pro catalog pic:
Now get that rust off the BB with a wire brush and prime it!

With all the topics that are condemning Revelations, I thought I'd make a poll to find out if the majority of the fans here liked Brotherhood over the recent Assassin's Creed game.
In my honest opinion, I found Revelations to be better than Assassin's Creed 1 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but not as good as Assassin's Creed 2. Revelations is superior to Brotherhood in many ways, such as the fact that your Assassin recruits feel more like people. The missions were more varied and interesting(the Minstrel mission being a good example) and they made the hook blade into a very fun new gameplay element that gives a lot more options to the players. I have mixed feelings about bomb-crafting however. On one hand, you can just use them to distract guards. On the other hand, it's now a lot more easy to just blow them up and it doesn't make much sense for an Assassin to use a weapon that would not only leave a mark, but make a sound loud enough for anyone to hear. It's cool, but you don't feel like an Assassin while using them.
Unlike Rome, Constantinople feels like a real city because most of the hub doesn't consist of just one big country side with only a quarter of it having buildings and city-streets(as was the case in Brotherhood). The new Mocam technology helps the graphics, although the fact that Desmond looks almost nothing like Desmond from the previous three games is disappointing. I guess it's just something we'll all have to get use to. The environments are also more varied. You'll go from big snowy mountains to underwater lakes to Byzantine structures like the Hippodrome and so on. Brotherhood had some variety, but it would have been better if the country-side wasn't as big as it was.
My biggest complaint for Revelations is the questionable acts Ezio commits, but the biggest WTF moment of the entire game wasn't the ending, but the part where Ezio sets a whole city on fire, harming a lot of people in the process, and doesn't even seem to care. He should have at least acknowledged that he hurt a lot of people in Capadoccia. And yes, I know no one ever said Ezio was a good guy, but Ezio was never this apathetic to the happenings of people around him.
But overall, I'd say that Revelations is the better game. Brotherhood was good, but not that good.

N+1 came today for me, a new Cannondale CAAD10 4 compact Rival. My lovely wife gave me the go ahead last night so I picked it up this evening.
The ride is smooth and I like the SRAM double tap shifting. Excuse the platform pedals, I need to put my SPD SL on and remove the reflector. The stem will be flipped up for my back. My son gets the R500 as his bicycle.

Teen Drowns During Swimming Class After Teacher Fails To Notice Him Struggling
An anonymous source told a local newspaper that a surveillance tape from the scene shows Donkor getting into the pool and disappearing underwater, where he then went unnoticed as other students swam around him. After watching the video, she commented, "There's no splashing, no flailing like you would typically think of. He just slipped underwater, and other kids were swimming over the top of him, not knowing he was down below."

Parents Find Out About Daughter's Death on Facebook
A mother and father from Lawrenceville, Georgia, had no idea that their daughter, Jasmine Benjamin, had died until they read about it through a friend's post on Facebook. Their daughter, who was a nursing student at Valdosta State University, was apparently found dead in a shared dorm student area, but University staff did not immediately notify the parents. To make matters worse, no one knows what happened to her and there are no signs of trauma on her body. But police do suspect foul play because they have determined that her body may have been deceased for up to 15 hours before being discovered. Because of that and other unrevealed factors, the case is now being investigated as a homicide.

"I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter. I had a relationship with the accuser. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was.

Responding to the accuser's recanted allegation, Clash comments: "I am relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest. I will not discuss it further."

President Obama Wins 2012 Re-Election; Promises "Better Days Ahead"
President Obama made history again by beating former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the 2012 U.S. presidential election, despite a weak economy that has plagued Americans for the last few years. During his victory speech to a crowd in Chicago, he confidently promised that are "better days ahead".
With returns from 88 percent of the nation's precincts, Obama had 55.8 million, 49.8 percent of the popular vote. Romney had 54.5 million, or 48.6 percent. Obama captured Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado and Nevada, seven of the nine states where the rivals and their allies poured nearly $1 billion into dueling television commercials.

We have a daughter who is about 20 months old. She's got all these 'educational' toys (put the square block in the square hole etc), but she actually has more fun with a bunch of clothes pegs and a tea towel. These items do more than one thing and there is no 'right' way to play with the object....I really like that. Then I saw this guy playing a guitar on boing boing. He plays the guitar in a most unconventional way - it's his own way, but makes good music.
All of this makes me wonder whether we're producing too many 'cookie cutter' maps, the tools we have are virtually limitless in what they can do, but we tend to produce variations of the same maps over and over again.

Game 1
Ohio (0-0) at Butler (0-0)
November 10, 2007
4:30 p.m. ET
Hinkle Fieldhouse
Indianapolis, Ind.
The Opening Tip: Butler kicks off the 2007-08 season at home when it welcomes Ohio to Hinkle Fieldhouse on Saturday (Nov. 10) for a 4:30 p.m. contest against the Bobcats. The game will serve as the second part of a double-header with the Butler volleyball team, which faces Milwaukee at 2:00 p.m.
Previewing The Bulldogs: Butler enters the 2007-08 campaign with three returning starters and eight letterwinners from a team that advanced to the championship game of the 2007 Horizon League Tournament. The Bulldogs finished with a 16-15 overall record and an 11-3 mark in league play, their best totals since the 1998-99 season. After finishing second in the NCAA Division I with 8.4 three pointers made per game, the Bulldogs will turn to the play of it's post players to drive the offense in 2007-08. Junior center Lade Akande and sophomore forward Susan Lester are the top returning scorers and rebounders from last season, with Akande netting 14.1 pointldogss and 5.1 boards and Lester posting 9.6 points and 6.6 rebounds. Senior forward and co-captain Cassie Freeman brings leadership to the floor and adds an outside threat to the post position after notching 31 three pointers at a rate of 35.2 percent. Junior guard Tara Miller, who sat out the Bulldogs' first nine games of 2006-07, begins her first full season with the team after finishing second with 76 assists while averaging 7.5 points per game. The point guard spot could be filled by junior Candace Jones, who finished last season on a tear by averaging over eight points and nearly four rebounds in the final nine contests of the year. Senior Candace Bain and sophomore Mel Thornton will add depth at the post positions, while junior Candyce Brown brings a defensive presence on the perimeter. Five of the six newcomers totaled 1,000 or more points during their high school careers and could be counted on for significant playing time during the year.
A Look At The Bobcats: Ohio comes to Hinkle Fieldhouse for the first time in their program's history when the Bulldogs host the Bobcats on Nov. 10. The two teams met for the first time ever last season, with Ohio claiming an 84-53 decision at the Convocation Center on Nov. 26. The Bobcats are the favorites to win the Mid American Conference East Division according to the conference's pre-season poll after returning four starters from a 2006-07 team that went 18-12 overall and 10-6 in league play.
Strong Second-Half Powers Butler In Exhibition Tune-Up: Butler out-scored the Hoosier Lady Stars 51-24 in the second half, including a 42-8 run in the opening 12 minutes, as the Bulldogs claimed a 79-56 decision in an exhibition contest at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Wednesday (Nov. 7). Butler trailed 32-28 at the break before shooting 58.3 percent from the field (32-for-66) in the second period to pull away in a hurry. Lade Akande led all scorers with 17 points, with 15 coming in the first half, while Brittany Bown used 13 second-half points to finish with 15 on the night. The Bulldogs held significant edges on rebounds (44-to-32), assists (25-to-9) and points in the paint (44-to-20).
Butler Picked Third In Preseason Poll: The Bulldogs were picked to finish third in the Horizon League this season, according to the 2007-08 Horizon League Preseason Poll. Butler earned 238 points in the poll, including five first-place votes, and finished just 15 points behind first-place Milwaukee. The poll is voted on by the league's head coaches, sports information directors and media members.
Akande, Lester Named To Preseason Teams: Junior center Lade Akande and sophomore forward Susan Lester were both named to the 2007-08 Preseason All-Horizon League Teams. Akande earned a spot on the all-league first team, while Lester was tabbed to the all-league second team. Butler was the only school to have multiple players mentioned on the squads.
An Upward Trend: The Bulldogs have steadily improved under the tutelage of head coach Beth Couture, and last season was the finest yet. The 16 wins gave the Bulldogs their highest single-season total since the 1998-99 squad finished at 17-11. Additionally, Butler's 11 wins in Horizon League play were the most during Couture's tenure, while the second-place finish was the highest final standing since the 1997-98 season.
...And The Trend Should Continue For A While: Head coach Beth Couture recently signed a five-year contract extension to remain at the helm through the 2011-12 season. Couture has been instrumental in rebuilding the Bulldogs into perennial Horizon League contenders since arriving on campus prior to the 2002-03 season. In just six seasons, she has brought the Butler program from a three-win season the year before her arrival to the program's first appearance in the Horizon League Championship game last season.
Triple City, USA: The Bulldogs have been notorious for shooting the three pointer ever since head coach Beth Couture took over the reigns five years ago, but the 2006-07 season was the most impressive to date. Butler finished the year averaging 8.4 three-pointers per game, the highest mark in the Horizon League and the second-highest in the nation. In fact, the Bulldogs finished just five-hundredths (0.05) of a three-pointer per game behind Santa Clara for the national lead.
The Most Ever: The Bulldogs' 260 three-pointers made during last season rank as the most in school history, easily topping the previous mark of 223 set last season. Additionally, Butler's 15 makes at Milwaukee on Feb. 22 was the highest single game total in Butler history.
Double Trouble: Freshman Susan Lester was nearly unstoppable at times in 2006-07, especially down the stretch when the Bulldogs made their run to the league championship game. In Butler's final 11 contests of the regular season and three games in the league tournament, she averaged 13.3 points and 9.2 rebounds while notching eight double-doubles. Her nine double-doubles during the year were the second-most in the Horizon League and were the most for a freshman. She led the Bulldogs in rebounding 17 times, while her 6.6 rebounds per game paced the squad and were the third most in the league.
Getting There In A Hurry: Not too many Butler players have had better starts to their careers than Lade Akande. The Robinson, Ill. native was dominant on offense in her first season with the team in 2005-06, finishing with 470 points for the highest total in school history by a freshman. She continued that trend as one of the Bulldogs' top scorers last year, tallying 408 points for 878 in her career. With just 122 points to 1,000, Akande will likely become the first Butler player since Jennifer Marlow (1998-99) to reach the milestone before her senior season.
Posting Up From Downtown: The Bulldogs' were clearly the champion when it came to hitting three pointers last season, so much so that even the post players got in on the act. Cassie Freeman and Susan Lester each provided Butler with significant offense from the perimeter, with Freeman hitting 35.2 percent (31-of-88) from downtown and Lester scoring 37.2 percent (32-of-86) from distance. In fact, the two Bulldogs were the only post players ranked among the Horizon League's top-15 in three-point percentage during the year.
Akande Brings It From The Paint: It wasn't all about shooting from long range for the Bulldogs, as Lade Akande could attest. The 6-1 center finished second on the team in scoring with 14.1 points per game despite not taking a single shot from beyond the arc. In fact, the Robinson, Ill. native has yet to shoot for three in 58 career games. She finished her sophomore campaign with a team-best .500 field goal percentage.
1,000 Reason To Celebrate: Departed seniors Jackie Closser and Ellen Hamilton both became members of the Bulldogs' 1,000 point club during the 2006-07 season. Closser became the 17th player in Butler history to eclipse the mark, notching her 1,0P00th point on a three-pointer against No. 16 Louisville on Dec. 18, while Hamilton became the 18th player with 1,000 just 10 days later on a lay-up against Cleveland State on Dec. 28.
All-League Honors: Three Bulldogs earned All-Horizon League honors in 2006-07. Guard Jackie Closser earned her second-career all-league first team mention, while center Lade Akande was named to the all-league second team for the second time in her career. Meanwhile, forward Susan Lester was tabbed to the league's all-newcomer team.
Next Up: Butler heads west to Peoria, Ill. when
the Bulldogs take on Bradley on Tuesday (Nov. 13) beginning at 8:00
p.m. ET.

I'm not sure it's possible to be more fed up with more misinformation, more erroneous opining and more reefer madness hysteria surrounding steroids and their role in sports. It's time to set the record straight.
Attempting to stop steroid use in sports is about as dumb as trying to stop drug use in general. Wasn't that tried once before? Oh yeah, it was called Prohibition. How'd that work out again? If I got my facts straight, alcoholism rose, along with related crime, tax revenue from sales were lost, exacerbating the Great Depression, all the while profits were being reaped by the underworld. Nice work DEA!
Current drug laws cost us billions in a failed attempt at controlling the traffic. Time, effort and finances are wasted on incarceration when they should be spent on rehabilitation. Additional crime is committed by those who must steal in order to get enough money to purchase the drugs. So whom do these laws protect? Not me. You can put a pound of heroin on my living room table and I won't touch it. If someone else wants to be an idiot and take it, let them. It's the quintessential victimless crime. But that's a gripe for another time.
In previous articles, I've written from an editorial point of view where the topic may be discussed, debated, commended or condemned -- though the retorts often tend to be of a conflating nature and the opponents engage in ad hominem tactics. Be that as it may, this is a little different. I've been involved with the application of anabolic steroids for over 10 years. I've written dozens of articles and two books on the subject, interviewed professional bodybuilders, doctors, Olympic coaches and even BALCO bad boy Victor Conte. I've known hundreds of people who've used them for years, and have had personal experience with them as well.
This concludes the interview section of the program.
On to the use of steroids in sports and the stupidity that surrounds it.
Right out of the gate we need to dispel some ignorance. The O'Reillys of the world like to speak out against steroids as being killer drugs. It's estimated that that tens of thousands of Americans use steroids each year, yet the grand total of steroid-related deaths to this date is...none. As for side effects down the line, I've known men who used them back in the '60s and today, at the age of 60-plus, they're doing just fine and look a lot better than most men their age. The medical community is finally recognizing the health benefits of testosterone (the molecule from which all anabolic steroids are derived) and is prescribing it to older men with great success. In short, as with any drug, or alcohol, there is use, and there is abuse. So attacking the substance itself is barking up the wrong tree. And please don't mention Lyle Alzado. He used massive amounts of drugs since his teen years and even then, his death was never linked to the use of steroids.
Are steroids cheating? They sure will give an advantage. But so do many things. Caffeine is a drug that will increase focus and endurance. And it can be purchased by children! Is Tommy John surgery cheating? Aren't supplements and modern training techniques an added benefit? Sports Illustrated stands on its high horse inducing scare tactics about sports remaining "natural" yet its highest selling issue is the swimsuit issue filled with silicone, collagen, botox and yes, the possible use of drugs -- from diet pills and diuretics and even low doses of steroids to produce a leaner, harder body. (Incidentally, this year's Covergirl was born in 1990. Now, that is scary.)
Of course, steroids won't improve athletic skill, but extra strength can turn a fly ball into a home run. Thus the debate becomes more an issue of ideals. Isn't it time we shed this notion that athletes are sterling examples of responsibility, or even good sportsmanship? While we're at it, let's not put past champions on too high a pedestal. They simply didn't have the option. I'll bet if Ty Cobb had the chance to use steroids he'd be juiced to the gills. Knowing his erasable personality, Ty would most likely be a perfect example of "roid-rage", which is equivalent to being a "nasty drunk." It's not the booze that makes someone nasty. it just brings the nastiness out. The same goes for rage from steroids. They make you feel powerful. So if you're a jerk, adding more confidence will only make you a bigger jerk.
Testing for steroids is a farce. Some steroids have a half-life of only 24 hours. It cannot be contained and it will never be controlled. So instead of wrist slap warnings and lip service seminars on how horrible they are, why not just level the playing field? Allow them into sports. They're there anyway.
Ballplayers today are, in general, bigger and stronger. So just enlarge the field. Make the walls higher! This is actually what they did at CitiField and the results have been excellent. Instead of balls flying out of the park ten times a game (which is not exciting if it's too frequent, contrary to the belief that fans want more home runs) there are more extra bases, which add to the speed of the game. Let everyone use whatever they want and as much as they want and stop trying to be mommy and daddy to the world.
Does anyone really care if someone damaged his or her health by working too many hours? It happens every day. So why are we worried about what millionaire athletes do?
Steroids can be used responsibly if prescribed by a doctor. Maybe that's why the AMA was AGAINST making them a controlled substance. And here's something to think about: If there were a drug with marginal side effects that would make you smarter, would you take it? And what if it enabled you to excel to the point where you could double your earnings? What if not using them meant failure?
The cat is out of the bag and he isn't going back in. These drugs do amazing things and they will continue to be used. They come with a risk however. I'd rather see that risk controlled than have the users sneak around and support a black market in order to engage in what should be their inalienable right of free choice as long as the consequences don't endanger anyone else. As far as I'm concerned, if I want to juggle a couple of flaming chainsaws in the privacy of my own home, that's my option. It's funny to see the people who scream the loudest about civil liberties leading the march against others should and shouldn't do.
I'm not advocating or endorsing steroid use, but it's here to stay. And the biggest irony of it all is that most fans don't care. They'd rather see their favorite players playing, instead of penalized. What is the more egregious crime is the price of the tickets. And for that kind of money, I want to see a great performance, however it's achieved. And although I'm not a fan of the Hall of Fame in that it's not a museum as much as an elite club determined by committee, there should be an asterisk next to McQuire, Bonds, et al stating: "Post enhancement era." Would that be so hard?
Just as these drugs will add a few years to the career of a great pitcher by replacing that lost mile or two an hour on his fastball, they can extend youth and vitality for aging baby boomers. If used properly.
As for how the athletes use them, let it be their choice and stay out of it.
Now play ball!

Gold steadied on Monday off an earlier one-month high, with a rally sparked by last week's weak U.S. jobs data running out of steam as analysts predicted the Federal Reserve will continue tapering monetary stimulus.
Prices earlier broke above tough chart resistance to hit $1,254.05, their highest since Dec. 12, as some interpreted Friday's reading of the jobs market as strengthening the case for the Fed to keep interest rates low for longer.
Gold later eased as the market digested the report, and as physical demand in China, now the world's biggest bullion consumer, dropped off after the price rally.
Spot gold was at $1,246.20 an ounce at 1010 GMT, little changed from Friday, while U.S. gold futures for February delivery were down $1.10 an ounce at $1,245.80.
"The data came as a shock, but it seemed out of kilter with the readings we've seen in previous months," Jonathan Butler, an analyst at Mitsubishi Corp, said. "Gold's response probably reflected a lack of conviction that this really represents a new trend."
The macro story is still very much in place, he said. "We expect further tapering this year, and the Fed minutes we saw last week suggested several members believe quantitative easing will be wound up by the end of 2014," Butler added.
"We're fairly conservative for the remainder of the year, given that the pressure from less accommodative monetary policy will encourage some further shifting into equities, and will leave gold lacking its shine."
The Fed's quantitative easing was a key factor driving gold prices to record highs in recent years. It kept interest rates at rock bottom, cutting the opportunity cost of holding gold, while stoking inflation fears.
Expectations that the scheme was coming to an end knocked prices down 28 percent last year, their biggest annual fall in 32 years.
In 2014 so far, gold has been among the best-performing metals, with strong Chinese buying ahead of the Lunar New Year and last week's surprisingly weak jobs data helping drive prices 3.4 percent higher.
Strong demand in China has eased, however. On the Shanghai Gold Exchange, premiums for 99.99 percent purity gold fell to about $17 from Friday's $18 as the price gain deterred some buyers.
Gold production in China, also the world's top producer of bullion, rose 7 percent from a year earlier to reach 392.141 tonnes in the first 11 months of 2013, data from the China Gold Association showed on Monday.

Was Brandi Glanville Responsible For Adrienne Maloof's Departure From The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills?
March 06, 2013 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
The drama behind Adrienne Maloof 's departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is continuing to cause rumors and speculation about what really happened. While we originally thought that Adrienne wanted out, it's now being said that Brandi Glanville may have played a part in Adrienne's departure. How so?
First we heard that Adrienne Maloof was asking to leave The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills as she was fed up with the drama and the toll it was taking on her family. But then we heard that Maloof was let go after she failed to show up for the reunion taping, so which one is it? New rumors suggest that Brandi Glanville may have had a part in Adrienne's departure…and the confusion continues!
How did Brandi Glanville have anything to do with Maloof's departure? Well, new sources claim that ultimately, it was the feud between the pair that led producers to let Maloof go. According to sources close to the show, who spoke to Radar Online recently, just as Brandi Glanville was about to spill the beans on air about Adrienne Maloof's surrogacy secrets, Maloof's attorney threatened the show to keep that off the air.
No big deal, right? Well it wasn't a big deal until Maloof decided to give her own interview and open up about the surrogacy (that she demanded the show keep private) to a big celebrity magazine. In the end, sources claim that is what led to her being let go, although friends of Maloof still insist that she left on her own.
What do you think really happened? What do you think of Adrienne Maloof leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? We know you have an opinion and we'd love to hear it, so post a comment below and tell us all about it!

Adrienne is totally obnoxious, can't tell the truth and has a face as tight as a drum. Good riddance!

Brandi may be beautiful but she is very low class. I don't like all the low class cat fights she s into. Lisa is my favorite person on the show, she does not need to pretend to have manners and style. I am not sorry to see Adrienne leave. I felt she was always angry.

Love Brandi and Lisa. Used to like Adrienne and then she came across as high and mighty. Real change in her. Love Yolanda. Happy for Kim. Please keep Faye off the show.

I actually like Brandi more than Adrienne probably because I can identify better with her life. Adrienne's wealth, unlike Lisa's and Ken's, is inherited and not earned by hard work and business "smarts". At times, her sense of entitlement gets in the way of common sense. I think both of them have been acting like real drama queens and have brought attention to an issue that the viewers consider no big deal .
Adrienne is blaming the show for her marriage with Paul ending in divorce. This is ridiculous. Doesn't Adrienne EVER take the blame for anything. According to her, all her problems are caused by Brandi and the show and she is the inocent victim

Adrienne needs to start being honest – about everything! When she doesn't get her way she resorted to doing everything and anything under handed – and it all back-fired on her! Nothing looks as bad as a rich person using their money to manipulate those that don't have it. Making Brandi spend $10G for attorneys, then denying she did anything to cause her to hire them – was a lie and a mean girl tactic! She's leaving the show because she cannot face all of the lies she has told, nor does she want to be confronted about the low-life tactics she used to get back at her hater cast mates. She needs to hire the best spin doctors in BH to clean up the mess she created for herself & her image this season. Shame on her!!!

There's going to be a night in January when the Celtics play the Nets, and it will be a little dusty in my living room.
Tonight was not that night. Brooklyn rested every starter on its squad (Pierce, Garnett, Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez and Deron Williams) plus likely sixth-man Andrei Kirilenko. As a result, you'd be correct in taking very little stock in Boston's win, which pushed them to 2-6 in the preseason.
But, as always, taking little stock in the outcome doesn't mean we need to take little stock in the play itself. There were a lot of encouraging elements in Boston's final tune-up. In honor of the Celtics' best player this evening, I suggest reading the bullets with this Brazilian band in the background.
—It's Vitor Faverani's world, and we are all just living in it. Faverani posted his best statline of the preseason with 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting and seven rebounds, but most impressive were his six blocks in 24 minutes. His timing and hustle were impeccable, and it's becoming apparent what Danny Ainge and other evaluators were seeing from him in training camp. It wouldn't be a surprise if Faverani started some games for the Celtics in the regular season, and it won't just be for lack of other center talent.
It will be PARTIALLY lack of other center talent, to be sure, but not entirely.
—Kelly Olynyk's game is so impressively developed for a rookie. His pick-and-pops are nice (even though his screening is less than satisfactory), his handle is excellent for a big man, his passing is deadly, and he has solid rebounding instincts. He likely won't ever be an elite rebounder given his physical disadvantages (lack of length and leaping ability), but he can position himself well, and Jared Sullinger will tell you that's more than half the battle.
—Avery Bradley's pick-and-roll one-dribble pull-up (how's that for a series of hyphenates?) still just isn't there, which is unfortunate, because it might single-handedly make him into a somewhat productive point guard. His inability to knock it down really clogs up the lane. Bradley does so many nice things, and we should remember all of them to balance our criticism. As a 3-and-D guy, he's excellent. He just shouldn't be handling the ball…
—Which brings me to who should be handling the ball: Phil Pressey! He turned the ball over more than one would like (4/4 assist to turnovers in 10 minutes), but he knows how to run a pick-and-roll, and he once again demonstrated good instincts in transition.
—Jeff Green was 2-for-7 from the field, but he got to the line eight times and knocked down all of his attempts. He looked considerably better, both aggressive and fairly confident attacking the rim before he left the game in the third quarter with an elbow stinger. Multiple beat writers tweeted that he will be fine.
—One has to wonder if Gerald Wallace's rant lit a fire under the Celtics. I didn't see a lack of effort personally against the Wolves, but there was definitely some urgency behind Boston's play against the Nets. Whether that urgency was Wallace's admonitions or just a desire to close out the preseason with a win against Brooklyn's scrubs is up for debate.
In the final preseason game, with the Red Sox in the World Series and a 2-6 overall preseason record, a somewhat decent-sized TD Banknorth crowd gave the Celtics a standing ovation as the final seconds ticked away. It was…pretty awesome, frankly. Not awesome enough to make my living room dusty; that comes in January. But given the youth of Boston's roster and how hard they had to work to pull out this win (regardless of the competition), it was pretty awesome all the same.

My company have decided to install Zimbra on our Redhat 5 server and use it for e-mail, calendering etc.
We are a small start up company so we only have around 10 users so far.
What we would like to do is integrate our Blackberry Calendar and Contacts into Zimbra with Zimbra Mobile and the Connector.
I had a look on the Blackberry site and it seems that you can only install BES with Exchange or some other Windows platforms.
How exactly do we now get BES and Zimbra on the same box so that we can make use of Zimbra mobile and sync all of the Calendar/Contacts and make use of the features this 500$ addon offers.
I realise I may be completely missing something here. Any comments or help would be greatly welcomed.

Letters from our readers
'Desert oasis'
July 27 Thank you for spotlighting Ben and Bert Wenke's labor of love at the Crossroads Rescue Mission in your "Effective Compassion" issue. This courageous couple has stood up to drug users and drunks to proclaim the gospel and had to contend with the USDA's interference. But Crossroads endures, addicts repent, people are fed and clothed, and best of all souls are saved.—Jeanne Zachman, Amado, Ariz.
July 27 Sometimes I get depressed reading all the sad stories in WORLD. But you do a good job digging up some of the good news in the Hope Awards. The whole issue gave me a lot of encouragement. Thank you.—Stephen Wacker, Loysville, Pa.
'Remember the signs'
July 27 My heartfelt thanks to Andrée Seu Peterson for naming sin for what it is, even when it belongs to an organization professing to be Christian.—Jim Newcomb, North Haverhill, N.H.
The most significant warning in this column was how homosexuals are using biblical terms to sound like the good guys.—Dick Dickerson, Mechanicsville, Va.
Many Christians today harshly condemn homosexuals, while others emphasize loving sinners at the expense of truth. Our Lord perfectly demonstrates both grace and truth, never compromising on either.—Don Den Hartog, Winchester, Va.
'Learning the hard way'
July 27 I disagree with scholar Hart. The deficiency is not in natural law but in the human heart, now hardened by generations of hammering with popular nonsense from every direction. The extreme fringes of the culture of 1960 are today the very center of the culture; those who won't think are deafened by the noise.—Jim Stewart, Camptonville, Calif.
Janie B. Cheaney lumps together supporting the expansion of food stamps benefits and supporting gay marriage as examples of calling evil good, but many orthodox Christians argue for food stamps. —Eric Harris, Mesa, Ariz.
Nature is also a lousy teacher of evolution. Instead of producing increasing complexity, it reduces beautiful houses to rubble through earthquakes, and intricate animal and human bodies to dust in death. It is a brilliant executioner.—Dick Muller, Oak Ridge, Tenn.
'Blood on the streets'
July 27 Biola's policy against graphic images of abortion is like a prohibition against offensive clothing. It is not unjust, nor does it restrict Diana Jimenez's expression of faith. She should respect the institution's rules and be grateful it allowed her to convey her message and display graphic pictures in a private setting.—Jeff Wick, Bowling Green, Va.
I thought the article was balanced and well-written. Jimenez said, "I don't want people to believe that Biola's not a Christian school, but they're not doing enough." I commend her newfound passion, but is that fair? She and CBR have the luxury of being a single issue entity, while Biola is taking stands on abortion and many other ailments of sin in a fallen world.—Todd Wallace, Tucson, Ariz.
Both sides needed to be heard on this issue but my sympathies are with the university.—Deborah Franklin, Pinole, Calif.
'Occupied territory'
July 27 Marvin Olasky's column reinforces our need to understand Christian vocation, which encompasses our every endeavor.—Samuel Gray, Clemson, S.C.
I bought three of Doug TenNapel's graphic novels for my children but they were not appropriate. Yes, there were some Christian themes, but it wasn't worth it to dig through the trash.—Christy Lindsay, Harleysville, Pa.
'20 feet from stardom'
July 27 Referring to Phil Spector as a "Beatles producer" overstates his work for the band. He did compile the album finally released as Let It Be in 1970, but by then the band had disbanded. Sir George Martin produced almost all the band's work.—Loren Sanders, Milwaukee, Wis.
'Patent racket'
July 27 You state that the "whole purpose" of patents is "encouraging competition." Competition is a likely outcome of patent law but is not its purpose. The U.S. Constitution states that patent law is to "promote the progress of science and useful arts." Congress is empowered to do this "by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." Patents therefore start out being anti-competitive, but this temporary monopoly provides the incentive for scientists and others to invent. The real constitutional and legal question about "patent trolls" is whether their actions promote the progress of science and useful arts.—Gerald Grafe, Corrales, N.M.
'The Syrian muddle'
July 13 The unanswered question: What is the U.S. national interest in Syria? The Obama administration only cares about what is in the best interest of the Muslim world. This administration, not the United States, has lost its credibility.—Wayne Bley, Fort Belvoir, Va.
'Leaving Exodus'
July 13 I appreciate Jamie Dean's sensitive treatment of the termination of Exodus International. I pray that Chambers' new ministry approach is merely a change of emphasis and not a shift in theology.—Richard Hancock, Utica, Miss.
'Rochester strong'
July 13 Thank you to Gina DiMartino for sharing her story. She said that she knows where God wants her to be because she "can't be anywhere else." I recently became very ill and have no idea what my future holds. I wonder how I'm going to handle it all and if this is really God's will, but when I remember those words I stop and rest easier.—Heather Bollman, Lanark, Ill.
'Aging badly'
June 29 I must take issue with the statement that Rachel Carson's warning on eggshell thinning was "largely discredited." Carson did not deal with this subject in Silent Spring. The first publication dealing with eggshell thinning appeared in 1967, three years after her death. DDT, or its breakdown product DDE, was shown to cause eggshell thinning in at least five species of captive birds and this was corroborated in numerous studies on wild birds. These studies have never been successfully discredited.—Stanley Wiemeyer, Saint Joseph, Mo.
Rachel Carson's alarmist attacks on DDT led to the deaths of millions of people from malaria, far more of an "environmental disaster" than she could have ever imagined.—Katalin H. Korossy, Kensington, Md.
'Beware of "comfort care"'
June 29 As an ICU nurse, rarely do I have a week without requests to "do everything" to keep someone alive, to the detriment of the patient. We add to the suffering of people constantly and often needlessly by giving futile intensive care to elderly patients. I understand Christians who are "pro-life" on this issue but feel they don't comprehend what it means to "do everything" with present technology.—Karen Wallace, Pottsville, Pa.
Thank you for standing by biblical standards. I pray for world issues every night and your magazine is a good source of information.—Ryan Northfield, Des Moines, Iowa

Ext JS and Sencha Touch!
Hey Guys, so I'm trying to build an application that would run on both Desktop Browsers and Mobile Browsers, and since I'm in love with Sencha and Ext JS, not only in love but the syntax is very similar and there are bunch of stuff that can be used cross both frameworks such as the Stores,Ajax requests...etc., I decided to build the app with both frameworks based on the environment the page is loaded in.
I tried to load both the Ext Js and Sencha Toch JS files into the same page "I knew it wasn't going to work but I had to try it :P" and it didn't work ... So the question would be, is there anyway I can alternate between both frameworks? Like for example load the Ext JS if it's in a desktop browser and load the Sencha Touch if it's on a mobie browser?
Or if there are any recommendation on how to approach this that would be geat.
15 Jul 2010 2:43 PM #2
This is very easy to do. Just run several checks when the device first contacts your website then save information on whether it's a mobile/ tablet or desktop.
We have a check JavaScript that gets loaded from the index.html. It saves the data in hidden input fields and does a regular JS submit to the back-end so each session is setup with the resolution, viewable size and etc. From there our web layout engine sends the correct layouts depending upon the device. All stores go to 1 php file that handles the data CRUD functions. Why build 2 back-end systems when only the front-end layouts will change. Of course we limit what can be displayed on the mobile devices for now since there really isn't any room for grids, etc. But we allowed quick data views to "public" data any "private" data is only available to the desktop web app.
It just depends on your needs but is very easy to handle on the back end system.
15 Jul 2010 3:37 PM #3
Thanks aw1zard2 for the quick reply!
Actually I will be having 1 back-end, as you said no point to double the work in the back end since the differences are on the front-end. The reason why I wanted both Ext JS and Sencha Touch, is that I need some data grid views for the desktop users, and the fancy HTML5 stuff for the iPhone/Android users. Both users will be looking at the same data, and same business logic except in different views. So is there a way that I can leverage both in the same implementation? I really don't think implementing 2 front-ends would be a wise thing to do since the maintenance would be a pain in the neck.
16 Jul 2010 2:31 AM #4
I was just discussing this internally here with some people. We are going to build our stuff desktop and mobile as well... how to abstract and make sure we've got only one base for the logic and another for display...
16 Jul 2010 4:46 AM #5
It seems like it's similar to my case jeroenvduffelen, do you need the Ext JS components that are not supported by Sencha Touch for your desktop application? Such as the GridPanel?
16 Jul 2010 7:57 AM #6
How can you implement 2 different JS libraries and not have 2 front-ends?
You design each screen to fit the device anyways and we have one go to system that knows which design goes where hence your doing 2 front ends.
Only time Sencha Touch and Ext JS will be closer will be when Ext JS 4 comes out. Then the stores, etc. will be closer in syntax.
So for right now we are stuck doing 2 different designs one for mobile/html5 and one for desktops.
16 Jul 2010 3:20 PM #7
yep, will be a matter of waiting until ext js 4 arrives i guess...
17 Jul 2010 8:07 PM #8
1 Dec 2010 10:19 AM #9
We have a complex application using Ext JS (with lot's of drag-and-drop, windows and grids) that has till now been used on desktop browsers. We have client requests to provide this app "as is" for use on iPads. Is there a way that we can add the Sench Touch events to our app to handle the touch events?

Nikon finds itself standing in recall corner, over the familiar issue of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, to be exact, sold with Digital SLR Cameras.
The hazard? The battery packs can short circuit, apparently, causing them to overheat and melt, posing a burn hazard to consumers, writes the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC writes:
This recall involves Nikon EN-EL 15 rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs with lot numbers E and F. The battery pack was sold with the Nikon digital SLR D800 and D7000 model cameras. The battery pack's model number "EN-EL15" and "7.0V 1900mAh 14Wh" are printed on the back of the battery pack. Only battery packs with an "E" or "F" in ninth character of the 14-digit lot number located on the back of the battery pack are included in this recall.
You can read about on the recall on the Nikon webiste:
Nikon Inc. is asking your cooperation in connection with a voluntary recall of certain lot numbers of its Nikon Model EN-EL15 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The battery pack can experience a short circuit causing it to overheat and possibly causing the outside casing to become deformed, posing a potential hazard to consumers. There have only been seven (7) confirmed reports of incidents of the problem worldwide, and while no injuries have taken place, Nikon Inc. has initiated this recall of the affected lot numbers as a reflection of its commitment to safety and product quality. We are asking that owners of the affected battery pack contact Nikon Inc. to initiate a free product exchange.

Jenny's Feedback on 4 Days Shanghai, Chongqing, Yichang, Yangtze Tour
Contribute by Jenny from United States; Tour date: 4/26/2013
Dear Leon,
You and the group did a wonderful job organizing the trip, and I should have written earlier to let you know. We were all very impressed with all the work that was put in. We actually enjoyed being with the German group too, even though we were English speaking.
Certainly we had a wonderful time, you did well. I will be in touch again to do the tour. I see though that you are out of Guilin. We may be in touch to see what options there are for Guilin.
Best regards,
