Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
DESCRIPTIONBrachytherapy, or the interstitial implantation of radioactive seeds is an option for treatment of prostate cancer that has been proposed as an alternative or complement to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
The radioactive seeds are implanted permanently, using the transperineal route, as a potentially curative treatment for localized prostate cancer. This procedure is intended to deliver tumoricidal radioactivity directly to the tumor and improve local control, while sparing surrounding tissue. It requires the use of a surgical suite, but can also be done as an outpatient procedure. Treatment can be completed in a single session.
Brachytherapy, generally, is not indicated for patients with large prostate size or those with a urethral stricture since the procedure results in short-term swelling of the prostate which can lead to urinary obstruction. As with all forms of radiation therapy, there are concerns regarding the long-term risk of treatment-related secondary malignancies.
Permanent brachytherapy generally utilizes either iodine-125 or palladium-103. Use of iodine-125 requires more seeds, and there is thus less dosimetric dependence on any single seed.
Permanent brachytherapy may be used alone as monotherapy or may be combined with EBRT (together known as combined modality therapy – CMT) as a way to boost the dose of radiation therapy delivered to the tumor.
See also High-Dose Rate Temporary Prostate Brachytherapy.
POLICYBrachytherapy using permanent transperineal implantation of radioactive seeds may be considered medically necessary in treatment of localized prostate cancer when used as monotherapy or in conjunction with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) (See Policy Guidelines).
Focal or subtotal prostate brachytherapy is considered investigational in the treatment of prostate cancer.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSNone
POLICY GUIDELINESInvestigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
Permanent brachytherapy using only implanted seeds is generally used in patients whose prostate cancer is considered low risk. Permanent brachytherapy combined with EBRT is used (sometimes along with androgen deprivation) to treat higher risk disease. Adequate dose escalation should be achieved with combination permanent brachytherapy and 3D-CRT. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) should be limited only to cases in which 3D-CRT planning is not able to meet dose volume constraints for normal tissue tolerance.
Prostate cancer risk is often defined using the following criteria:
The procedure is usually performed in 2 stages; a prostate volume study (CPT code 76873) followed on a later date by the implant itself, which is performed in the operating room under general or epidural anesthesia. Iodine or palladium are the typical isotopes used; and the selection of isotope is usually based on physician preference. A CT scan is usually performed at some stage after the procedure to determine the quality of the seed placement.

103 reviews
quality, imprint - everything is great
I am very happy with the products that were ordered. I cannot say anything was in disarray or the order was incorrect. It was exactly as I hoped it would be with no problems whatsoever!
Most - clarity of the logo given the size of the object Least - none noted as of yet
I liked the fact that it had the maroon logo on the pen as I had asked. First time i ordered on-line and seemed a lot of money for pens but that might just be me.
We loved the pen, very nice quality for the price, and our logo just made it look very classy.
They were perfect, and we couldn't be happier. The imprint on the pens were perfect. The ink quality is great and our imprint looks super.
The product was exactly what we wanted. Thania was fantastic to work with; very helpful and extremely supportive.
The pricing was great, and the quality of product as well.
Our logo and church name were printed clearly and easy to read. Sharp!
Our logo and church name were printed clearly and easy to read. Sharp!
Great product and GREAT service. Carlo Kross is awesome!
I loved how easy it was to get and how quickly I could get the product. I don't like the minimums being as high as they are on some of the product.
The pens have a durable feel and function that you usually don't get for this price.
exactly as i ordered
The website representation of the way my logo would look on the product didn't do it justice.
The pens were received well by our attendees. Good experience overall
The engraving could have been a bit larger on the multipurpose tool, but it may have been difficult to engrave given the unique size of tool itself.
The printing looked exactly like your picture, was very well positioned and very colorful.
Great pens!
Great pricing! Will definitely take adavntage of the next promos.
Most of them worked well and wrote nicely. Some of them had smudges in the logo area, but that was expected.
I liked the clean polished look of the pens. I didn't like that you couldn't use my company logo on the pen.
The look of all the products that I ordered for the price, was great. I really enjoyed working with Branders they kept me in the loop through out the whole process. I really liked that I was able to approve the product and make any changes before the order was placed.
I have received this pen quickly and it writes smooth..It tuned out to be one of my most favorite pens....Very comfortable to hold.
Bought these pens on sale! I was thinking that we would have the entire year to give out the 8,000 pens we ordered but they flew out so fast in just 1 month. I think we might have to re-order again soon!
The Feedback we received from our clients was positive & pleasant.
Writes nice.
Writes good. Looks good. Feels comfortable.
Price was excellent good quality
Fast turnaround
My order was shipped about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Very nice looking pen for a good price.It's a great way to keep your name within reach of your clients.
They fly off the table at events!!!
This is a favorite pen for promotional give aways as everyone loves it. I will say the wording/logo printing for Albuquerque Imaging Center was a bit smaller than expected.
The magnets were a little thinner than I thought they would be, but over all I really like how they look.
The ink flow on some of the pens was inconsistent. Also, the clip breaks off easily.
Some of the bottom tips had to be screwed on tighter. We did that by hand. Probably came loose in shipment.
some of the bottom tips had to be screwed on tighter. We did that by hand. Probably came loose in shipment.
The imprints should be bigger. These go to senior citizens and it is difficult to read.
Liked the price a lot. Ink quality was ok.
Always looking for good priced premiums.
Our logo was nicely printed on the pens.
They worked out very nice for our banquet.
We are pleased with our purchase.
We were able to save some money by ordering these for our event. Good thing they write well. Definitely worth every penny.
While the quality of the imprinted logo was good, there was so much 'white space' left on the product. The print could have been much larger, easier to read. The logo is tiny, the head of the pen is larger enough to handle a larger imprint/font.
"My staff loves these, and they'll be easy to distribute; with their hefty size and ergo-grip, they won't last long!"
The pens were nice and given out at our annual banquet
The pen was not flimsy. It felt substantial and clicked open and closed easily. The logo quality was actually very good except for the fact that the blue was not the color I wanted. Madonna seemed knowledgable on the phone and returned my calls relatively quickly. My biggest problem with the order was that I had told her I wanted the blue on the logo to match the blue of the pen.
The pen is nice, but the imprint is terrible.

Ada —
Three and a half years after Lisa and Dakota Hector opened Vintage 22 wine and dessert bar on Main Street, their work has earned honors from the Oklahoma Main Street program.
Vintage 22 recently won the "Downtown Business of the Year" award from the statewide Main Street program, which helps communities revitalize their business districts.
Lisa said she learned Vintage 22 won the award at Oklahoma Main Street's annual state banquet, which took place May 7 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. She added that she thought the business had a good shot at capturing the award, based on Vintage 22's track record of community support.
"I just had a good feeling about it," she said.

In the last decade, Racine has worked hard to change its economic reputation and reach out to create regional partnerships to encourage development. Gordy Kacala is the Executive Director of the Racine County Economic Development Corporation - he's held this position for 21 years. He previously served as the Chief of the Economic Development Planning Division of the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission for 10 years. He spoke with Stephanie Lecci as part of our Project Milwaukee: Southern Connections series.
Our Project Milwaukee: Southern Connections series begins with a historical perspective on development from Milwaukee southward to the Illinois border. John Gurda is the author of nineteen books, including The Making of Milwaukee and Cream City Chronicles. He's also our regular history contributor. He joined us to talk about the history of Kenosha and Racine.
In Project Milwaukee: Southern Connections, we look at why Chicago might need Milwaukee more than we would think. Bill Testa is Senior Economist, Vice President and Director of Regional Programs at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. He spoke with WUWM's Marge Pitrof.There's more of the interview in the supplemental audio section below.
As we explore southward growth in our Project Milwaukee: Southern Connections series, what's at stake for Milwaukee County? Chris Abele is the Milwaukee County Executive. He was elected in April to fill out the last year of the term vacated by now Governor Scott Walker.
Economic development planners insist regions, not just cities, are becoming the leaders of the global marketplace, so southeastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois would be wise to capitalize on their proximity and combined strengths.
An international group specializing in regional economic development is going to examine the corridor along southeastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois and recommend ways we might strengthen our region globally.
According to a We Energies spokesman, the utility is in the early stages of determining whether its Valley Power Plant will be converted to natural gas burning from coal. Currently We Energies is carrying out a feasibility study, after which it must submit an application to the state's Public Service Commission.
Susan Bence is WUWM's environmental reporter. She spoke Cleaner Valley Coaltion members Virginia Zerpa and Cheryl Nenn about the plan.
There's been a significant increase in Milwaukee County in the number of young, African-American gay men infected with HIV. The state Division of Public Health puts the increase at 144 percent over eight years. On Monday, there was a daylong conference in town about ways of reducing infection rates among young, black men. WUWM's Marti Mikkelson reports on efforts already underway to educate a demographic that can be difficult to reach.
The Civil War began 150 years ago yesterday. But that first battle – the siege on Fort Sumter - lasted 34 hours before Union troops surrendered 150 years ago today. We read a poem simply named "Sumter," by Edmund Clarence Stedman. It's read by our poetry contributor Ed Makowski.
Despite the sluggish economy, there's been a slight uptick in restaurant ownership in Milwaukee. The health department reports 1,461 eateries: that's 26 more than last year and on par with the number before the recession hit. At least one establishment in the Third Ward, south of downtown, appears to be bouncing back. WUWM's Marti Mikkelson found that some of the 'new' establishments are actually recycled restaurants. Entrepreneurs have moved in, believing they possess the formula for success.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — We call it lobbying
In other countries where offices and regulations are bought, we call it corruption. In the U.S. we call it lobbying. Our U.S. government is bogged down in corruption, in money from our top 1 percent to pay our representatives to vote for the top 1 percent advantage, profit.
We are letting our real chances go to entrepreneurs in other countries. Germany, in 2000, committed to energy transition with clear and enforceable regulations to achieving 80 percent renewable power by 2050. That has created a massive and long-term new market for low-carbon technologies. It established price controls for selling renewables like solar and wind back to the power grid; 65 percent of renewable power is owned by individuals and communities across the country instead of owned by big centralized utilities. Germany empowers its citizenry through energy self-reliance.
By contrast, in the U.S., the Union of Concerned Scientists, in "Ripe for Retirement" found 353 coal generators ripe for retirement, in addition to those already scheduled for retirement. These older, inefficient generators are among our nation's dirtiest power sources, impairing our health.

Stripped of due process
Imagine discovering your doctor removed your good leg during surgery. You'd probably sue and win damages. Now imagine a corporation that perhaps sickened U.S. citizens with its biotech seeds, but no one could go to court to stop their planting and sale because Congress and the president signed a bill, one the corporation helped write, making the corporation immune from prosecution. Sound farfetched? It isn't.
Our government approved such a law, HR 933, with its rider, section 735, written by Monsanto. What it means is that genetically modified foods can be planted without proper testing of their safety, even if the courts rule that such foods are causing a plague. It also means that you, as a consumer, have been stripped of your right to due process. Does this sound like democracy? It doesn't to me.
We all should be mad as hell. But it was sneaked into law anonymously, not brought before the Agricultural Committee, not mentioned on the evening news, and few people know about it. To learn more about it and what you can do, Google the Monsanto Protection Act.

Weekend in the Minors
by, 07-09-2012 at 12:52 AM (1065 Views)
The Twins had two, touch, extra inning losses on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday night, it was Nelson Cruz that provided the game-winning hit. On Sunday night, it was Ian Kinsler. Sam Deduno had a very wild, but effective, Twins debut on Friday night. Cole De Vries was terrific, throwing seven scoreless innings against the potent Rangers offense. Casey Fien made his Twins debut, showing off a mid-90s fastball in a scoreless inning. It was also a busy weekend in the Twins minor leagues this weekend with a few doubleheaders.
By the way, be sure to check out the Adopt-a-Prospect forums. If there are any players that have not yet been adopted, feel free to start a thread for that player and brag him up. Find stories on them, show off their big games, and in general, just encourage discussion on those players.
With that, here is a look at the Twins minor league scores and highlights from Saturday and Sundays games in the system:
Liam Hendriks officially dominates the International League. In his return to the Red Wings, he threw seven shutout innings to improve to 6-0. (He increased his streak to 22.2 consecutive scoreless innings) He gave up just five hits, walked one and struck out one. Esmerling Vasquez struck out two in two scoreless innings.
Clete Thomas was 2-3 with his 14th double. Wilkin Ramirez hit his seventh home run.
SUNDAY- GAME 1 - ROCHESTER 1, LEHIGH VALLEY 0 (8 innings)
Nick Blackburn was terrific in his first start in his return to the Red Wings. The righty went all eight innings. He gave up nine hits but no runs. He walked none and struck out two.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, Pedro Florimon reached on a walk and got to second. Danny Valencia came up with two outs and drilled a single to left field that scored a sliding Florimon and gave the Red Wings the Game 1 win. Chris Parmelee and Rene Rivera each had a hit and a walk. Florimon was 2-3 with a walk.
In the second game, Steve Hirschfeld was on the mound. He gave up seven runs (6 earned) on six hits and a walk in four innings. Unfortunately, he gave up six runs in the second inning (3-run homers to Michael Martinez and Pete Orr) and that was more than enough for the IronPigs. Dan Sattler threw two perfect innings, and Luke French pitched one scoreless frame.
Danny Valencia went 2-4 with the lone RBI in this game too. Wilkin Ramirez was 2-2 and was hit by a pitch. Matt Carson was 2-3 with a walk.
This puts the Red Wings at their All Star break. Pedro Florimon will represent the Red Wings in the International League All Star game.
SATURDAY - NEW BRITAIN 6, NEW HAMPSHIRE 5 (10 innings)
Down by three heading into the ninth, the Rock Cats got singles from Nate Hanson, Estarlin De Los Santos and James Beresford to load the bases. Chris Herrmann hit a single that got by the left fielder and cleared the bases to tie the game and send it to extra innings. In the 10th, Evan Bigley and Deibinson Romero singled to lead off the inning. Hanson sacrificed them to 2nd and 3rd. Dan Rohlfing was intentionally walked to load the bases, and De Los Santos was hit by a pitch to give the Rock Cats the lead and the eventual win.
Bigley went 3-4 with a walk. Deibinson Romero was 2-5 with his 12th home run. De Los Santos was 2-4 and James Beresford was 2-5.
Shairon Martis made his second start with the Rock Cats. He gave up four runs on nine hits in 6.1 innings. He struck out three. Edgar Ibarra was charged with an unearned run on one hit in 1.2 innings. He struck out two. Bruce Pugh continues his AA domination. He improved to 2-0 with two more shutout innings. He has now thrown 17.1 innings without allowing a run. He has given up eight hits, walked eight and struck out 22 with the team.
The Rock Cats got plenty of offensive support in this game, but that is primarily because of the left arm of Blake Martin. The southpaw went all seven innings and gave up just three hits, walked none and struck out six. As you would expect, he kept his pitch count down, throwing just 75 pitches.
His mound opponent, former Twins farmhand Yohan Pino, also worked a complete game. Chris Colabello went 3-4 with his 23rd double. Chris Herrmann hit his sixth home run and Evan Bigley hit his 11th homer. Estarlin De Los Santos was 2-3, and Aaron Hicks went 2-4.
David Bromberg made his first start with the Rock Cats since going on the Rochester disabled list last month. He gave up four runs on eight hits and a walk in three innings. He struck out four. Marty Popham made his New Britain debut and gave up just one run on one hit (a solo homer) in his three innings. He struck out two.
Chris Herrmann was 2-4 and homered for the second straight game. Aaron Hicks was 1-3 with a walk.
Also on Sunday, outfielder Oswaldo Arcia represented the Twins and his native Venezuela in the Futures Game in Kansas City. Arcia came in for the second half of the game. In his first at bat, he hit an RBI double off of Jameson Taillon. He got out in his second at bat.
The Rock Cats play on Monday, but on Wednesday, BJ Hermsen, Chris Herrmann and Daniel Turpen will play in the Eastern League All Star game. Andrew Albers was also named to the team, but due to injury, he will not be participating.
Pat Dean started for the Miracle and gave up six runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings. He walked two and struck out four. Jose Gonzalez then gave up five runs (4 earned) on six hits in two innings. AJ Achter came on and got the final five outs, three of them by strikeout.
Anderson Hidalgo had three hits in five at bats. Kyle Knudson was 1-3 with two walks and his sixth double. Joe Benson was 0-3 in his first game with the Miracle. He walked twice. Miracle batters walked 11 times in this game.
The Miracle held a 4-3 lead going into the ninth, but were unable to hold it. Cole Nelson started for the Miracle and gave up one run on seven hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out three. Michael Tonkin then gave up two runs on four hits and two walks in two innings. He struck out two. AJ Achter came in and got one out in the ninth. Unfortunately, he gave up four runs (just one earned thanks to two errors, on himself) on three hits. Ricky Bowen came in and got the final two outs but not before an RBI hit.
Danny Santana, Levi Michael and Josmil Pinto were all 2-4. Danny Ortiz went 1-3 with his sixth home run. Joe Benson batted fourth. He was 0-4 in the game with an RBI.
Matt Summers was terrific again for the Snappers. The right-hander went the first seven innings and gave up just one run on eight hits. He walked two and struck out three. Dallas Gallant made his Midwest League debut and got four outs despite two walks. Corey Williams recorded the final two outs for his 13th save.
Nate Roberts was 2-3 with a walk and two stolen bases. Steve Liddle went 2-3 with his ninth double. Wang-Wei Lin tripled for the third time this year. Important to note, Miguel Sano returned to the Snappers lineup. He went 1-3 with two RBI. Yes, he also committed his 32nd error.
David Hurlbut has been pitching quite well for the Snappers since the beginning of June, but on this night, he gave up five runs (4 earned) on seven hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out two. Steve Evans came in and struck out three in three scoreless innings. He gave up just one hit.
AJ Pettersen went 2-4 with a walk and his second home run of the season. Matthew Koch was 2-4 with his 14th double. Jhon Goncalves was 2-3 with a walk. Drew Leachman hit his seventh double. Nate Roberts was 1-3 with two walks. He also stole his ninth base.
The Twins and Johnson City have long been competitors in their division. That rivalry continued this weekend. Angel Mata started and gave up three runs (2 earned) on six hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out six. Brett Lee came in and gave up a run on two hits and a walk in three innings. The left-hander struck out five. Zach Jones struck out three in his inning, although he also walked three.
DJ Hicks led the offense by going 3-5. Jhonathan Arias was 2-4 with three RBI. Jorge Polanco went 2-4 with his fourth double and third stolen base. Rory Rhodes hit his fourth home run. Niko Goodrum left the game after being hit by a pitch in the elbow in his first plate appearance.
The story was different on Sunday. Taylor Rogers started for the E-Twins and gave up two runs (1 earned) on four hits in five innings. He walked five and struck out three. Christian Powell struck out two in a perfect professional debut. Powell was the Twins 8th round pick this year out of the College of Charleston. Luis Nunez came in and gave up three runs on five hits without recording an out. Tyler Herr came in and got the final three outs.
Max Kepler went 2-5 and stole his third base. Romy Jimenez and Josh Hendricks each were 1-3 with a walk. Candido Pimentel was 1-3 and walked twice.
The Gulf Coast League rarely plays games on Sunday. On Saturday morning, the Twins had a nice, tidy win. Austin Malinowski set the tone with a terrific start. The lefty from Minnesota started and gave up three hits in five shutout innings. He walked none and struck out seven. Chris Mazza came in and gave up one hit over two scoreless innings. J.O. Berrios came in, and for the first time, he worked two innings. He also recorded the first save of his young, professional career. He struck out two in two perfect innings.
Byron Buxton was the story on the offensive side of things. The Twins top pick went 2-4 with his first pro home run and his first pro stolen base. Jose Ramirez went 2-3. Kelvin Ortiz hit his second home run of the season.

DENVER (AP) -- Peyton Manning made a successful NFL return from a year's sabbatical, leading the Broncos past the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19 in his Denver debut Sunday night.
The four-time MVP coming off four neck surgeries completed 19 of 26 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns.
He got a big assist from another free agent, cornerback Tracy Porter, whose 43-yard interception return of Ben Roethlisberger's pass with 2 minutes left sealed the win.
Manning, jettisoned by the Indianapolis Colts in March after missing all of last season with a nerve injury that weakened his throwing arm, hit Demaryius Thomas with a 71-yard touchdown toss for his first score as a Bronco. It was his 400th career TD toss.

Rocket City Rednecks
UAHuntsville alums front & center on National Geographic reality series
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Sept. 12, 2011)
Go ahead. Call Travis Taylor a redneck. He will consider it a compliment.
The term "redneck" originated from resourceful, hard-working sharecroppers who did whatever was necessary to keep the family fed, according to Taylor, a physicist/ engineer/astronomer/rocket enthusiast alumnus of The University of Alabama in Huntsville. Taylor holds four degrees from the university and is working toward a fifth.
So when it came time to name the National Geographic Channel reality series in which he, his family and friends star this fall, "Rocket City Rednecks" sounded great to him.
"I thought it would be really cool to do a fast-paced, funny, exciting, entertaining show about science," said Taylor, 43, who is also the author of a dozen science fiction novels. "We are going to educate the world on what redneck really means."
Taylor wrote the proposal for the show, bought a video camera and asked his wife to record the weekend-at-the-farm antics of the five "backwoods brainiacs." (That's National Geographic's terminology.)
Within days, Flight 33 Productions signed on to shoot the series.
"Most Americans think that just 'cause we talk with a Southern drawl and we drink sweet tea, I guess they think we must be idiots," says Taylor's nephew, 23-year-old Michael Taylor, in a trailer promoting 'Rocket City Rednecks.'
But everyone in the ensemble "has nothing less than a genius IQ," Taylor said. Viewers tuning in to the show - which premiers at 8 p.m., Sept. 28 - will see the cast fire off a rocket fueled with homemade moonshine; bomb-proof a pickup truck with beer cans, plywood and spray foam; and build an Iron Man suit, which allows Taylor to pick up a 150-pound keg ...with one hand.
Travis is used to being in front of the camera, serving as a science expert for the History Channel's production of "The Universe."
"It's in our contract that we're allowed to drink while filming the show," said Taylor, who currently works for the Space and Missile Defense Command.
The premise is that the cast - which also includes his father, Charles Taylor, brother-in-law Dr. Pete Erbach, and childhood best buddy Greg "Rog" Jones - confronts a new problem each week. Over the course of a weekend, they solve it, and the process is compressed into 22 minutes of air time.
"This is a project that the government would spend 10 years and $100 million on," Taylor says in a trailer. "Us, we've got one weekend and five pretty dang smart rednecks."
Taylor holds a master's degree in astronomy from University of Western Sydney (Australia) as well as master's degrees in physics and aerospace engineering and a doctorate in optical science from UAHuntsville. He is currently working on a second doctorate in aerospace systems engineering.
It was while he was doing graduate course work in Huntsville that the Decatur native met Pete Erbach, and the two PhD's ended up marrying sisters.
"That sounds kind of redneck, too, doesn't it?" said Taylor, who has already been featured in History Channel series "Life After People" and "The Universe."
Fifteen of 20 episodes have already been filmed at Taylor's father's shop in Somerville. And having his father, who was a machinist for Wernher von Braun, involved in the project was a must.
"Dad did rocket science during the day and plowed behind his mules in the evening," Taylor said. "Von Braun and several others from Pennemunde would give him blueprints and he'd figure out how to build whatever they needed.
"And now here we are, cutting metal and building things that go 'boom.' We think Von Braun would be proud."
Taylor said he has come up with 200 project ideas for the show, "which will last us about 10 years," but no one knows how long this redneck ride with last.
"I hope everyone watching the show has as much fun as we had making it," said Erbach, a senior scientist at Polaris Sensor Technologies who holds bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees in physics from UAHuntsville.
"Literally, we are having a blast."

Linux in the Real World
When I came to SSC (publishers of Linux Journal), I was told the first thing I had to do was learn the computer system. Having never been exposed to Unix, I set out to discover as much as I could. Coming from an MS-Windows environment, I had a lot to learn. The more I learned about the system we use, the more questions I asked. Here is what I found out.
The first thing I noticed was the multi-tasking capabilities of Linux (I'm not even going to get into Win95). Everyone at SSC has a Linux system (workstation) at their desk, which they log into every morning. In addition, there are two non-Linux systems in the office: a Windows for Workgroups system used for graphics and magazine layout and a Unix System V, Release 4.2 system used to run the Progress database, which has not yet been ported to Linux.
Once logged onto their local system, users can perform tasks locally (such as reading electronic mail) or access the other computers via rlogin, telnet, ftp, and so on.
All of the workstations are linked via a thin Ethernet backbone, except for a few which are connected via twisted pair Ethernet to a twisted pair hub, which is then connected to the thinnet backbone.
The main backbone ends at the Orion Firewall System that sits between the internal network and a second, externally visible network that connects to the Internet through a Xyplex router and a CSU/DSU (also known as a "digital modem") over a T1 Frame Relay connection to our Internet Service Provider, Alternate Access, Inc. Our Web server, www.ssc.com, is also on this externally visible network, outside our firewall.
There is a third network in the office. The Windows for Workgroups (WfW) machine is on this network with one Linux system also connected to the regular internal network. This setup keeps the large amount of traffic between the WfW system and the Linux system (which drives the Imagesetter) from bogging down the main network.
Often, in a multi-user environment like ours, every computer has a unique password file, local to that system. If someone wants to change their password, they have to log into every system individually to make the change office-wide. All of our systems instead use NIS (Network Information Service) to centrally manage all password and group files, access permissions, host address information, and data on a single server. NIS distributes a single master password file to all the systems transparently. Since the network is running NFS (the Network File System), files can be accessed between systems easily. This is easier for both the user and the administrator.
SSC uses sendmail as its mail daemon to monitor and manage the delivery of all electronic mail messages. Sendmail is the de facto standard Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for most complicated networks. Although it is not easy to configure, it is the most configurable and most flexible of all the mail daemons available. It determines whether each e-mail address is local or remote, delivers local e-mail locally, and sends remote e-mail to remote systems via the Internet (using SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or UUCP (described later).
All outgoing mail at SSC is routed through a single workstation for delivery via sendmail. This centralizes the e-mail system so there is only one log file, one daemon, one thing to break and be fixed. Incoming mail is queued on the Web server outside the Orion firewall system with smap, a secure mail queue program. Smap acts like a normal mail daemon and queues mail. Then smap calls sendmail to process the queued mail, sending it to the real internal hub for local delivery. The smap client implements a minimal version of SMTP, accepting messages from over the network and writing them to the disk for future delivery by smapd. Like anonymous ftp, smap is designed to run under chroot, except it also runs as a non-privileged process to overcome potential security risks presented by privileged mailers running where they can be accessed over a network. Sendmail still runs, but only when it's told to, instead of all the time.
UUCP (Unix-to-Unix copy) delivered mail is also forwarded to the sendmail hub via smap. Sendmail then sorts the regular SMTP mail from the UUCP delivered mail. The SMTP mail is delivered locally and the UUCP delivered mail is spooled in directories where the UUCP system can find them. Since the modems which deliver the spooled UUCP delivered mail to local recipients are on the Web server, which is on the externally-visible network, these files are transfered from the internal system to the Web server with tar and scp, a secure version of the rcp (remote copy) command.
tar (tape archive) and scp (secure copy) are used every three hours to transfer the mail automatically to the Web server. The mail is then deleted from the local workstation to avoid duplication.
By handling mail this way, only one machine, the Web server, needs to have a modem and access/exposure to the outside world, and the line doesn't need to remain open.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) service allows employees remote dial-in access outside the firewall by the Web server. Users then access the internal network (and their own desktop workstations, if they wish) using ssh, a secure shell that encrypts all the data sent between the internal workstation being accessed and the Web server. Employees can also use ssh to get from their home computers to the Web server ensuring a completely secure line, or telnet if they don't have ssh on their home machines.we
All the user home directories at SSC, as well as the local binaries directory, are shared via NFS (Network File System) between all workstations. With the current system, every time users want to read files in their home directory, the files must be transferred across the network to their computers. Soon we will be moving all the user directories from the office file server to each user's own workstation for the following reasons:
Transferring file across the network is much slower than transfering them from the local hard drives, making file access slower.
Also the network has a limited amount of bandwidth (amount of information it can carry at one time), and eliminating unnecessary use will speed up the network.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

NEWTOWN — State Rep. DebraLee Hovey (R-112) has issued an apology for a post she made Friday on her personal Facebook page in which she reportedly wrote, "Gabby Gifford stay out of my towns!!"
The post, which was captured in a screenshot taken by the Hartford Courant before it was deleted Sunday, was directed at the former United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who visited Newtown Friday to meet with some of the families who lost a child in the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"[The Giffords visit] was political," Hovey wrote in a comment on her own post, according to another screenshot taken by The Courant. "The LT Gov was there, Blumenthall was there and ALL political types KNOW it is courteous to let sitting Reps know when another political is in their District. So..... There was pure political motives" (Like former Rep. Giffords, Lt. Gov. Wyman and Sen. Blumenthal are both Democrats.)
In a statement, released Monday at about 12:30 p.m., Hovey's office noted that the state representative was in Florida attending a Board meeting of the Women in Government national organization during the Giffords' visit.
"The remarks I made regarding Congresswoman Gifford's visit were insensitive and if I offended anyone I truly apologize," Hovey said. "My comments were meant to be protective of the privacy of the families and our community as we work to move on, and were in no way intended as an insult to Congresswoman Giffords personally. Our community has struggled greatly through this tragedy, and we are all very sensitive to the potential for this event to be exploited for political purposes. This is what I wish to avoid."
According to representatives from Gov. Malloy's office, Giffords as well as Lt. Gov. Wyman and Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra, in her Friday visit. Giffords resigned from congress in 2012 after surviving an assassination attempt in an Arizona mass shooting almost two years ago.
Hovey represents Connecticut's 112th district, which includes a portion of Newtown and Monroe — the neighboring town that has opened its Chalk Hill building to house Sandy Hook students for the remainder of the school year.
On Friday, Hovey outlined a four-point "action plan" response to the Sandy Hook shooting, including requests for task forces to investigate violent video games and child and adolescent violence.
"The events of Dec. 14 affected all of us deeply and like many others I am still working through my grief and trying to come to terms with what happened, how we as a community and a state move forward and how we can prevent horrific events like this from occurring in the future," Hovey said. "My deepest condolences continue to go out to the families, the community of Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown and Connecticut."

Dave Andreychuk was a steal at the NHL draft.
The big forward put up 58 goals and 101 points in 67 junior-league games heading into the 1982 selection process. Still, 15 players went before him.
The Sabres finally snatched him up at No. 16 after they'd taken Phil Housley at No. 6 and Paul Cyr at No. 9. Andreychuk went on to have a 1,639-game career with 640 goals, 698 assists and 1,338 points. He led his draft class in goals and was second in points to Doug Gilmour, who had 1,414 as a seventh-round selection by St. Louis.
NHL.com, as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first draft, is looking back at the best first-round selections. The panel has made the Andreychuk pick the best No. 16 ever.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
So Johnny Football isn't pleased with certain aspects of his life, eh? Sorry dude, but I'm not feeling you.
Texas A & M quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel took to everyone's favorite egotistical device, Twitter, to vent his frustration with the following two tweets: "Bulls — like tonight is a reason why I can't wait to leave college station...whenever it may be." After he deleted that tweet, he followed it up with "Don't ever forget that I love A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes."
Welcome to the big time world of athletics.
It seems Manziel isn't happy with the constant attention he has been receiving since emerging as a star last season en route to becoming the first freshman to ever win the Heisman. Along the way, he picked up the nickname "Johnny Football," which he later trademarked. He dates a model (Sarah Savage), starred in a country music video by Granger Smith, is seen at other high profile sporting events, and has thrown out the first pitch at a couple of Major League baseball games. Plus, barring any unfortunate injury, he will be a first round (possibly No. 1) pick in the NFL.
Yeah, I feel really sorry for you.
If you think it's bad now, you haven't seen anything yet. As time goes on, and you continue to be a football star, your life isn't yours anymore. You're a celebrity. Deal with it. And don't try and convince us you don't like it. You do. If you didn't, you wouldn't be on Twitter or appearing in music videos.
So you are the big man on campus right now. I'm sure any of your teammates or any "regular" student at A & M would gladly trade places with you. Heck, I'd trade places with you.
I realize that you are still a young man, not even 21 yet. But don't go whining when things aren't the way you wish they would be. NFL teams are watching. They know what you can do on the field; now it's time to show them how you are off the field.
So far, the NHL playoffs haven't disappointed. The first two games took overtimes to decide, with Chicago winning game one in three OTs, while Boston took game two needing just one overtime, then won again Monday night to take a 2-1 series lead.
If you haven't watched, do yourself a favor and tune in tonight (Wednesday) for game four. You might just become a fan.
Over in the NBA, San Antonio and Miami are hooked up in a pretty good battle. The Spurs have been one of the most dominate teams in the past 10 years but never get any credit, especially Tim Duncan. Guess they just aren't as flashy as some of the media darlings.
Many people are predicting that LeBron James will soon be regarded as the best player in history, usurping Michael Jordan. And he may. But right now he's not.
The main difference between the two: Jordan made everyone around him better. James has yet to be able to do that. He had to go to Miami and join up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in order to win his first title. He failed at Cleveland where he was unable to do what Jordan did with the Bulls, and that is to bring out the best in his teammates, something Jordan was able to do in his time in Chicago.
Just my thoughts.

Man helped from gorge
A 70-year-old Niagara Falls, Ont., man was helped from the gorge by members of the Niagara Parks Police Service High Angle River Team Sunday afternoon after fracturing his ankle while hiking.

A youth was transported to Children's Hospital via Mercy Flight Saturday with a head injury after falling from a trailer being pulled by a tractor.
The youth's father was driving the tractor in the area of Seaman and Drum roads about 11:15 a.m. when his son fell out. The fall left a laceration on the youth's head. The father told Niagara County Sheriff's deputies he was unsure what he had struck after falling from the trailer.
Homeowners hit gas lines in separate incidents
Niagara County Sheriff's officials reported two incidents of leaking gas lines this weekend.
About 9:40 a.m Sunday, a man working at his Tonawanda Creek Road home in Lockport hit a gas line while excavating to put in a drainage line. NYSEG officials and Rapids Volunteer Fire Co. members responded to assist.
About 2 p.m. on Saturday, deputies were called to Woodland Court after a man hit a gas supply line while digging next to the foundation of his home.
A few homes on either side of the house were evacuated as a safety precaution. National Fuel officials and Adam's Fire Co. personnel responded to assist.
Antique rifles, pistols taken in burglary
Niagara County Sheriff's deputies were called Saturday to a Youngstown-Lockport Road address, unoccupied since February for a reported burglary.
Deputies were contacted by the granddaughter of the former resident, who recently died.
Family members discovered an open sliding glass door on Thursday and found damage to the drywall ceilings and walls of the residence.
Among the missing items are a Hover-Round scooter, collectible German beer mugs, two inoperable antique pistols, two inoperable antique rifles and various tools. In addition, several electrical wires were cut from several appliances throughout the home.
The burglary is believed to have happened between July 25 and Thursday. The estimated loss is about $4,700.

Practice College Study Skills During High School
Making the transition from high school to college requires disciplined academic habits.
The changes students will face as they make the transition from high school to college academics are inevitable. While high schoolers may not be able to wrap their heads around the idea of professors instead of teachers or lecture halls filled with hundreds of students, they can begin adapting to the necessary study methods before college orientation.
Assignments and tests will undoubtedly become more challenging once students enter college, so it's critical to instill disciplined study habits sooner rather than later. Some current college students say that identifying these study strategies in high school paves the path to success in university academics.
[Learn ways to prepare for college each year of high school.]
"High school students should try a variety of study methods to figure out what works best for them," said Lexie Swift, a senior at the University of Iowa. "That way, when they are in college, they will know what is most effective and won't hurt their grades trying to figure it out."
Such study methods could include making and using a series of flashcards for a test, alternating between subjects when reviewing for final exams to avoid overwhelming oneself with one particular subject, or having a friend quiz you on the material so the information is not right in front of you.
The potential strategies are limitless and can each be tailored differently to the individual person's learning style – but identifying that style is key.
One of the most infamous challenges of college-level course work is the voluminous reading assignments. It is unlikely that students experience this level of reading in high school, so start practicing now in order to get ready.
It is pivotal to understand the importance of actually completing a reading assignment and not skipping it altogether. Tiffany Sorensen, a 2013 graduate of Stony Brook University—SUNY, feels this is a particularly important piece of advice.
"You'll be doing yourself a huge disfavor if you do not get into the habit of reading in high school," said Sorensen. "Also, you should make a conscious effort to understand vocabulary in your high school readings. The words will only get more complex in college."
When preparing for exams, high school students should get into the habit of creating their own comprehensive study guides. Caleb Zimmerman, a senior at King's College in New York City, advises taking all of the information you need for the test and organizing it in one spot. He said it has helped him immensely in studying for his college exams.
[Get tips to prepare for college as a home-schooled student.]
"Whenever I have a big test, I get everything I need to know together in one place. Usually, a Word document does the trick," he said. "Sometimes that document will run 10-20 pages, but at least your mind won't feel scattered."
Students who do not wish to use a computer for this purpose might instead find it useful to get out a stack of highlighters and color code the information in their notebooks. Applying sticky notes to specific pages in assigned readings can help focus your studying as well.
However you choose to create the study guide is up to you, but having one is a very important step to succeeding on a college exam.
Another element that cannot be underestimated is getting to know your professors. Some students say it is one of the best ways to ultimately support your academic goals and better understand what material you need to study.
High schoolers can practice this now by reaching out to their teachers for extra help in order to develop stronger relationships with them – some of them might even become prime candidates for writing those letters of recommendation later on. Zimmerman says he regrets not taking this approach when he was a college freshman.
[Learn how to ask teachers for college recommendation letters.]
"I wish I had gotten to know my professors better," he said. "Professors are surprisingly approachable in most cases and getting to know them on a personal level will give you very helpful hints as to how they think."
If high school students truly apply themselves to experiment with various study methods, fully process assignments, consolidate information for tests and understand exactly what relationships with professors can bring to the table, success in college will be on the horizon.

Amazing Dress This dress was my dream from the moment I saw it. July 1, 2014
Absolutley Gorgeous! I had originally bought another dress back in December. I loved how shaped my body but wasnt 100% "in love" with it. Anyhow, a few weeks back I started looking to see if there was anything new, just to look and saw this dress. I went into the store tried it on and got teary eye. I agree that the pictures do not give this dress enough credit. It is a gorgeous dress and I look and feel like a princess! I cant wait for my wedding in June! March 5, 2014
so inlove with this dress I went to david's bridal and tried on so many dresses and didnt really liked any. went back for my second fitting and saw someone in it and told the consultant I want to try that one. I did and it was beautiful it fit perfectly, I got teary eyes. Now my wedding day cant get here fast enough so that I can wear it. November 17, 2013
Loved Loved Loved I had originally picked out a different dress and when I went to make my final decision I asked if I could just try this one. I was glad I did because it was so perfectly amazing I knew it was THE ONE. It looks totally different when you try it on - the pics do not do it justice. I wore it for my wedding and I have never received so many compliments. It fit prefectly and looked amazing. It sparkled all day and night. And it was easy enough to dance in. September 24, 2013

Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although edema can affect any part of your body, it's most commonly noticed in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.
Edema can be the result of medication, pregnancy or an underlying disease — often heart failure, kidney disease or cirrhosis of the liver.
Taking medication to remove excess fluid and reducing the amount of salt in your food usually relieves edema. When edema is a sign of an underlying disease, the disease itself requires separate treatment.

text: The Supreme Court's ruling Thursday upholding President Obama's healthcare reform law wasn't the sort of ringing pronouncement that helps define the contours of government power and individual rights for decades to come. The justices were sharply divided, and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.'s controlling opinion reads like an exercise in splitting the baby. But the end result is one that Americans in general, and Californians in particular, should celebrate.

Malfunctioning Safety Badge Reel
By William Garcia
from Houston, TX
Comments about idville Safety Badge Reel Variety Pack:
We distributed the product as an incentive for safety conscious employees. The reel works mechanically for the most part but a few that I gave out broke immediately. In one case, the sticker with the slogan peeled off immediately. When I purchased the product, I did not realize the slogan was a sticker. I thought the slogan was laminated under clear plastic. I imagine the slogan will eventually come off of all the reels.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

COVENTRYŌĆö Two local women who immigrated from different countries have received an award from the Literacy Volunteers of Kent County (LVKC) Board of Directors for their willingness to learn and grow during their time in America.
Gayatri Aggarwal and Denise Bueno, both of Coventry, were given the Barbara Shafer Award for Student Excellence to recognize their ŌĆ£outstanding progress in achieving an individual goal.ŌĆØ
WARWICK ŌĆö As David DŌĆÖAgostino, attorney for the Central Coventry Fire District Board of Directors told Superior Court Judge Brian Stern in FridayŌĆÖs hearing how the board has been focused on working to understand how the district wound up in the predicament theyŌĆÖre in and how to work on best practices going forward to ensure the same mistakes are not repeated.
COVENTRYŌĆöFor the second straight year, local author Ray Wolf has taken the proceeds of his books and donated them to various non-profit historical societies throughout the valley.
Last year, with the help of a matching donation from Centreville Bank, Wolf donated $1,670 to four different historical societies: Pawtuxet Valley Historical Society, Western Rhode Island Civic Preservation Society, the Coventry Historical Society and the Hope Historical Society.
COVENTRY ŌĆöThe Western Coventry Board of Directors, along with Fire Chief Steven Quattrini went over what they called ŌĆ£the very preliminary budget numbersŌĆØ for 2014 during ThursdayŌĆÖs board meeting and so far, the only significant increase appears to be with training and gear.
According to the boardŌĆÖs presentation, there is a proposed increase of $3,315 compared to last years at $9,110.
COVENTRYŌĆöA local woman got the chance to examine thousands of pieces of pottery during a trip to Crete last summer thanks to a grant from the University of Rhode Island (URI).
Danielle Verrier, 24, of Coventry, graduated from URI in May with a degree in archaeology and classical studies. Prior to graduating she had applied for a $1,000 grant from the Undergraduate Research Initiative to travel to the Greek island of Crete to look at the archeological site of Mochlos to find out when the volcano on the nearby island had erupted.
Now that the ball has dropped and 2014 is upon us, local legislators are looking forward to the upcoming challenges and hopes for their district and the state of Rhode Island.
Representative Patricia Morgan (District 26, Coventry, West Warwick, Warwick) said one of the biggest things that needs to change in the state in 2014 is its economy.
ŌĆ£Our economy needs a real game changer and not just a tiny one but we need a dramatic change now,ŌĆØ she added.
COVENTRY ŌĆō The frustration that taxpayers have been feeling for the months over not knowing where their fire tax stands only got worse Monday night during the annual budget meeting for the Central Coventry Fire District.
Court-appointed Special Agent Richard Land, Esq. of Chase, Ruttenburg and Freedman, LLP explained that the issue lies with accounting errors that happened in the past three years that were never caught.
COVENTRYŌĆö A local father-son duo have taken their love for music and used it to collect toys for children less fortunate than them and in December theyŌĆÖll be traveling to a variety of locations to show off their talent.
Jesse Gauthier and his father Jack have both been playing music most of their lives and together theyŌĆÖll be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program for Christmas
For more information, pick up the most recent edition of The Coventry Courier.
COVENTRYŌĆö Coventry High School Assistant Principal Brooke Macomber was named the 2014 Assistant Principal of the Year after being nominated by Principal Michael Hobin.
Like the Principal of the Year competition, which was won by Hobin this year, a board of directors for the Rhode Island Association of School Principals (RIASP) visited the school to speak to students, parents, teachers and the administration before making their decision.
COVENTRYŌĆöA two-alarm fire in Coventry displaced a family of six after flames broke out in their downstairs kitchen Monday night.
Central Coventry Fire Chief Andrew Baynes explained that the male homeowner called 911 at 8:06 p.m. after he returned to his home at 9 Grant Drive and noticed a fire in the basement of the raised ranch.
He said firefighters from Central Coventry arrived shortly after and quickly surveyed the area to ensure nobody was still inside.

DALLAS - The George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas has announced a call for 9/11 stories as a unique online reminder of the deadly terrorist attacks.
The center, on its website Monday, invited visitors to share a captioned photo, an essay of 250 words or less or a video with inspirational narratives.
Bush, in a statement marking the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, says the collection of memories shared online will be a permanent part of his center. The information will be integrated into what the site calls the "online museum experience."
Bush was president when the terrorist attacks happened on Sept. 11, 2001. He and his wife, Laura, both took part in weekend commemorative events of the tragedy.
The Bushes live in Dallas.
