New life for used equipment
Donations help dentists, charities and the environment
Dental practices buying new instruments, radiography equipment or entire dental units can dispose of or recycle old equipment, but they can also opt for donating gently used equipment to benefit others.
|Ready to ship: Dental units collected by World Dental Relief in Broken Arrow, Okla., are wrapped and ready for shipment to Ethiopia for use in a new dental school.
World of Smiles is an Erie, Pa.-based charitable nonprofit organization founded in April 2010. The goal of the organization, according to its website, "is to utilize dental supplies and equipment that would otherwise be discarded, and redistribute them to free dental clinics and not-for-profit dental professionals who are presently treating underprivileged patients at their expense."
World of Smiles has a distribution center where dental supplies and equipment are collected, sorted and shipped to dental health care clinics and volunteer missions around the world, said Dr. Joel Waldman, director of development.
"The founders of World of Smiles have developed a way for dentists and dental companies to embrace green practices while helping people in need throughout the U.S. and even worldwide," said Dr. Waldman. "There are literally millions of dollars worth of supplies and equipment that are being discarded each year, including dental suppliers' and manufacturers' overstock, irregularly packaged goods or short-dated material. Dentists in private practice who regularly update their equipment may be discarding perfectly usable items that could be used in clinics that are understocked and underequipped. Landfills are quickly filling up with products that can be reused and recycled for the greater good."
World of Smiles gets wish lists of needed equipment and supplies from charitable organizations and matches and dispatches collected goods.
"Donors receive a tax deduction as well as the satisfaction of knowing their donation is also environmentally responsible, while helping to provide needed oral health to those in need," he added.
World of Smiles also accepts monetary donations to help cover shipping costs. Donated items must be functional. For more information on how to donate equipment or funding or to become a dental equipment recipient, visit www.worldofsmiles.org.
In Broken Arrow, Okla., World Dental Relief Inc. receives and distributes in-date dental supplies and equipment to dental health care missions around the world.
World Dental Relief provides supplies to more than 400 short-term mission teams in 60 countries each year. The organization also works on a project-by-project basis, directed by dental professionals' on-site needs, to equip requesting organizations that are setting up dental clinics.
Generally, World Dental Relief's equipment distribution projects supply set-ups for small dental clinics—often only one chair for a village clinic. But right now, the organization is working with the Ethiopia Ministry of Health and Mekelle Arts and Sciences College in Northern Ethiopia to help establish a school for dental professionals, said Dr. Ron Lamb, president.
"Ethiopia, a country roughly the size of Texas, has a population of 85 million—and only about 90 dentists," said Dr. Lamb. "For this project, we obtained 20 dental chairs and all the equipment and supplies they will need for the next three years, and packed it into a 40-foot semi-sized container. It was shipped early in June. It arrived last week and made it through customs and was delivered to the dental school site and unloaded."
The school will begin with a two-year dental hygiene program. Thirty-five students now have completed a basic nursing program and 20 of them will be chosen for the first year class in the next few weeks.
World Dental Relief received a grant from the International College of Dentists to purchase instrument sets that they can rent to mission teams. Surgical, hygiene, restorative and ART, or atraumatic restorative treatment, instrument sets are often too expensive for mission organizations or private dentists who volunteer internationally to purchase.
Though World Dental Relief is not currently in need of dental equipment, the organization is seeking donations of dental instruction videos and DVDs that can be used at the dental school in Mekelle and at another school planned to launch in Uganda.

|Planning: Dr. Bernard Fialkoff and his daughter Meghan seek dental equipment and supply donations for a humanitarian dental mission to Cuba planned for early 2012.
Dr. Bernard Fialkoff, a periodontist in the Bayside neighborhood in the borough of Queens, will lead 45 volunteer dentists from his Fialkoff Queens Dental Study Club on a mission trip in March of 2012 to Havana—the city where he was born and raised.
"I have yearned to return to the island to revisit the culture, the people and to give back through dentistry," Dr. Fialkoff said.
Dr. Fialkoff's parents emigrated from Russia during World War II but were unable to enter the U.S., so they settled in Cuba and remained there until they moved to the United States in the 1960s when Dr. Fialkoff was 10. He graduated from State University of New York at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine and has practiced dentistry for 30 years.
The study club—which he founded some 20 years ago—draws members from all of New York's five boroughs, Westchester and Long Island and sends invitations to dentists throughout New York and New Jersey. Between 60 and 125 dentists attend the monthly meetings.
Study club colleagues were supportive of Dr. Fialkoff's idea when he pitched it at a meeting early this year. He proposed they provide pro bono care to citizens in need at the University of Havana Dental School and to offer study club sessions for Cuban dental professionals.
"For many years our study club has discussed going to Cuba," Dr. Fialkoff said. "It was an idea we all had that we wanted to give back to the Cuban people and assist in dentistry where possible. Since July, we have done every step necessary in order to solidify a humanitarian dental trip to Cuba. It has been an exciting journey, and we look forward to fully finalizing our plans in the next few months."
Dr. Fialkoff's daughter Meghan, director for the trip, began researching similar mission trips to Cuba to learn the process of obtaining the proper permissions and a humanitarian license from the U.S. Treasury Department. She hopes to have the license and the volunteers' visas lined up soon. The trip is tentatively planned for March 4-11, 2012, if the humanitarian license is approved on schedule.
Though the group has plenty of volunteers, and even a waiting list, the study club is in need of donations of portable units, portable drills and dental supplies for use during the trip. Supplies should be donated by Feb. 24, 2012.
To donate or to receive a list of needed supplies, contact Meghan Fialkoff at email@example.com.

Welcome to Gatic Slotdrain
For more than 80 years Gatic Slotdrain has maintained its reputation as a global leader in the manufacture and supply of surface water drainage systems. Our Slotdrain products are chosen to meet the channel drainage and water flow regulation needs of specifiers around the world on construction, transport and utility projects.

Future challenges
We hope you will find what you need in these pages but, despite the huge variety of components and Slotdrain systems available, there is always a new challenge to rise to. At Gatic, we never expect to rest on our laurels and intend to continue to supply products that meet and exceed our customers' expectations well into the foreseeable future.

Minister Ali Akbar Salehi warned on Thursday that any Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear installations would lead to the annihilation of the regime in a week.Reported NMA
"If Israel ever, ever makes this mistake - that will set the time for the end of Israel. The Israelis are well aware of this," Salehi told the Danish television TV2.
"What is Israel?," said Salehi. "It is so small that it wouldn't last one week in a real war. Not even one week."
Salehi, the former director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said Iran would respond "very forcefully" if its nuclear sites come under attack by Israel.
Iranian Parliament speaker Ali Larijani also said on Saturday that "Israel would not dare to attack Iran."
The regime will not "play with its destiny" by attacking a great power like Iran, Larijani stated.
The chances of a military strike against Iran this year are receding because of the success of a joint Israeli-US cyber attack on the country's nuclear facilities, according to officials and analysts with knowledge of the clandestine operation.
Israel, with US help, had set up a model of the Iranian nuclear process at Dimona, the Israeli nuclear arms development centre in the Negev desert, to test a sophisticated destructive programme.Publishe New York Times

Pre-K through Grade 2
June 7, 10, and 11, 2013
9:45 a.m.–2 p.m.
Grades 3 through 5
June 12 and 13, 2013
9:45 a.m.–2 p.m.
Students get a workout as they visit a variety of heart-healthy stations in the museum and learn how to develop healthy habits for the summer ahead! Students challenge friends in a miniature golf tournament, stretch their understanding of anatomy with yoga for kids, strengthen their cooperation skills with playground games, develop an understanding of nutrition by planning a healthy menu, and more.
Themed visits give students a chance to experience the museum in new ways. Activities begin at 9:45 a.m. and end at 2 p.m., but classes may arrive and depart at anytime during that period.
Before your visit
- Divide students into groups of 5 or fewer and assign each group a chaperon.
- Discuss field trip expectations and lunch plans with chaperons and students.
- Role-play museum etiquette with students.
During your Theme Day experience
- Museum educators will greet you with activity guides and maps.
- Exciting, theme-related activity stations will be staffed by museum educators.
- Students and chaperons will enjoy free exploration time throughout the museum. Students and chaperons must stay together throughout the visit.
Classroom activities to enhance your Theme Day experience
- Play charades. Have students write down words or phrases and place them in a jar. Then have students pick a piece of paper from the jar and act it out. Other students guess what the student is acting out. Consider creating separate jars for charade categories such as "things we do to play," "things we do in the morning," "things we do at school," and "things we do at the beach." After your visit, create a jar called "things we did at the National Museum of Play."
- Make a group chart of ways that students in your class like to move using categories such as playing sports, bike riding, swimming, and more. Tally students' responses. Send students to survey other classes and to add more data to the chart. Don't forget to include the office staff. Have students use the data to make various graphs (pictographs, pie charts, bar graphs) of their results.
- Number the corners of the classroom from 1 to 4. Select one student to be "It." That student closes his or her eyes while the rest of the students go to one of the four corners in the classroom. When all students are settled in a corner, "It" calls out a number. All the children who chose that corner are out of the game and must sit down. This process is repeated until there are only four or fewer students left. At this point each student remaining must choose a different corner. If It calls out a corner where nobody is standing, It must choose again. The game continues until only one student is left. That student becomes It.

Today, a new customer visited our Bellevue store. She had seen a few glassybaby bags in the back of her work colleague's car (he gives them to clients as gifts – great idea,right?), and upon his explanation of the company, she confessed that she didn't quite understand what all the fuss was about. But then she came into the Bellevue store. She saw them lit, heard our story, and found our goodwill section. She loved "angel" because her and her husband were married at Camp Korey. And she loved "hudson" because that is the name of her son (who will turn 1 on July 4!). She purchased both as a gift to her family as they prepare to move into a new home. Happy housewarming, and happy early birthday to Hudson!

If you go to Google Maps and enter these coordinates - 38.3364485,-75.08167642 - you will see kites flying over the beach near The Kite Loft in Ocean City, Maryland.
Does anyone know of any other satellite images of kites?

Re: Satellite Images of Kites
Recently, I've been searching Google Earth for kite festival locations flying fields/beaches and to my surprize, I've found a few kite festival locations that when google earth snapped photos of the areas, kites were in the photos. Sheman Township in Taiwan shows kites, Townsville, QLD, Australia shows actual kite festival pics. Coolum Beach, QLD, Australia shows kite fest pics. Weifang, Shandong, China shows kite fest pics, Weifang World Kite Museum, Weifang Kite park. Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia shows the kite museum.
You can search most any city in the world, go to street level view, and start exporing the areas where you know kite flying or festivals take place, and you'll find many kite pics that google earth cars have taken when they were driving around.

David Rodriguez, 30, is facing a charge of capital murder in connection with a crash that killed Walter Maspero, 3, near Interstate 35 and Shepherd Road in Atascosa Wednesday afternoon.
Rodriguez was booked into the Bexar County jail several hours after the 4:30 p.m. crash. His bond is set at $2 million.
According to Sgt. Javier Salazar, spokesman for the San Antonio Police Department, officers tried to stop Rodriguez as he left a suspected drug house that detectives had been watching.
Instead of stopping, he said Rodriguez sped away.
Salazar said at one point, Rodriguez made a U-turn on the access road of Interstate 35 near Shepherd Road and tried to ram an officer's car with his SUV.
Although the officer avoided the collision, Rodriguez's SUV sideswiped a Volvo station wagon carrying six members of a family, police said.
Walter Maspero, 3, was killed in the crash. Three other children and two adults suffered serious injuries.
People who witnessed the crash said the family lives in the area and may have been headed home at the time.
Records show Rodriguez has a history of arrests on charges that include marijuana possession, marijuana delivery and evading arrest.

This hotel is exceptional in every way, and my husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The pool area has an awesome view of Copacabana beach and Sugarloaf Mountain, and this aspect in itself makes the hotel 5 stars. In addition, the staff members are extremely helpful and go out of their way to ensure you have a good vacation. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, too!"
The location was good, room was nice, staff helpfull and spoke good english. The bartender in the lobby bar was very serviceminded and really put an effort in when mixing drinks, with excellent results. Good place to stay."
The Cocacabana palace was clean, the pool was refresing, it's located near the beach, and the hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. The beach was a little seedy and there were a lot of beggars on the beach. Ipanema is definitely the nicer beach. My friend also had his wallet pick-pocketed a block a way from the hotel. Regardless, I would recommend staying at the hotel, because it is an amazing hotel--even Queen Elizabeth has stayed here. Just be careful any where you go in Rio."
This was my second stay in the hotel. I find the location very good if your main action area is Jardins. Not so good for romantic stays, the room is very small and there is no pool but the location is great. The staff is very helpfull, ready to do extra work to help. Rooms are clean but very small. Nice breakfast. Would definitely return to this hotel again while."
We spent two nights at the Novotel in February 2013. the room was great, large enough for two with two surfboards and a few bags from 6 weeks of vacation. The service was great- they let us check in at 10am (we had the first morning flight into Sao Paulo) and also a late check out as our flight going home was at 11pm! No fuss when we asked, the reception staff simply checked if it was possible and told us it was fine. The hotel is within 10 minutes walk from the wonderful municipal theater and the old city (Monastary Sao Bento etc..). We also went out for dinner and a show at the Brahma, which is walking distance (more or less 15 minutes via Pr, Republica). The hotel's gym is big enough however, there were no towels and the air conditioning didnot work very well. It is the reason I rated "4" for the maintenance of the hotel. Everything else was great!"
The hotel has been well maintained and is nicely located for conferences at the convention center. Also some good restaurants close by, enabling you to avoid heavy evening traffic. I would stay here again."
We stayed here as a stop over. The hotel was spacious, clean and honest. I had lost my watch during my stay and they found it! The staff was courteous and friendly. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Would stay there again. Highly recommended."
this hotel is good value - lovely rooms and great breakfast. My only quip is that I'd prefer to have access to an iron myself - it doesn't always suit to have to wait for an ironing service, and it is very expensive if you are in a hurry."
Overall a good experience. I only stayed here one night on business and got to the hotel in the evening and left in the morning. The staff was very friendly and incude some english speaking staff which was helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. the food at the restaurant, while not great, was still good. A taxi is needed to get anywhere but from what I understand, that is not ncommon in Brasilia. My only complaint was that they didn't have an iron available for guests."
I have been staying at the Pestana due to business and left with a positive impression. The location is spectacular - at the tip of the peninsula with great views in all directions. The hotel staff is very friendly and the food (especially breakfast) convinced fully. On the more negative side, the hotel is a bit isolated and it is a short walk to the closest bars and restaurants. The hotel and the facilities itself are a bit outdated and could need some upgrading, especially the business facilities, rooftop area, and also to a lesser extend the rooms itself."
We had a wonderful stay. Our room was comfortable and looked out at the pool and ocean. We swam in the pool every day and had beverages at the pool bar, ate delicious room service and had a wonderful breakfast buffet every am!"
There are two things that they don't tell you when one is entertaining travelling to Salvador i) the climate can make the rooms in the hotels, even 5 star hotels, damp and smelly and ii) don't walk around on the streets - you'll get mugged. The Othon was a delightful respite from problem i). Problem ii) will take a lot more effort to sort out, but even now Salvador as a destination is still worth the risk."

Elizabethton succumbs to Unicoi County
By Curtis Carden
Winter-like weather and sloppy plays on the diamond reared their heads in Carter County during Three Rivers Conference action..
Elizabethton (3-4, TRC 2-1) would put on a three-run, fifth-inning effort, but Unicoi County would pull away with a 10-3 decision at Joe O'Brien on a frosty Tuesday night.
Blue Nation (3-0, TRC 2-0) kept the win streak alive — after the Orange & Black made it a bit interesting late.
"We've got a few new kids at new positions and we'll look for them to get better as the season goes along," EHS skipper J.P. Nix said. "I like the way they battled back in the fifth. Unicoi's got a great pitcher in (Jonathan) Davis, but we didn't respond the way we'd like to early on — and you can't give up six errors to a team like Unicoi."

Forecasters are increasingly confident that storms – some possibly severe – will kick off the College World Series.
The National Weather Service and AccuWeather agree: Intermittent storms are likely from now through Sunday. There also will be some dry periods, offering the hope that games, or at least some of them, will play as scheduled.
Tom Kines, meteorologist for AccuWeather, The World-Herald's private weather consultant, said storms could become severe Friday and perhaps again on Sunday.
The Saturday storms, he said, may not be as severe. But some forecast models hint at severe storms on Saturday as well.
Each day's weather could affect the next day's, so it will be wise to monitor the forecast. Rick Chermok, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, said this weekend's forecast is simply not what you want to see for the start of the College World Series.

One of the great promises of 3D printing is that it allows for an infinite umber or reproductions of an individual object over time. Once a 3D files is produced, it can be 3D printed once, one hundred, one thousand times or more in what some have been calling a realization of the 'post-scarcity economy'. Sometimes factors outside the physical production and material availability play a part in equation and sadly the popular Nyan "Pop-Tart" Cat 3D modeled by Sevensheaven is no longer available as a 3D printed product, exactly one year after the birth of the original Pop Tart Cat by Christopher Torres on April 2nd, 2011.
We have all grown to love the Nyan Cat and it has always been a big favorite at events capturing the hearts of all those who came into contact with the cute little cat. Following is a gallery of the Nyan Cat in the wild, but what will happen to those Nyan Cat's now roaming the earth? Will there value increase with scarcity, a product that once had the promise of infinite availability is now of a very limited edition. Will we start to see 3D printed Nyan Cat's going for auction on eBay and will we one day see them sold as part of a collection at Sotheby's?

"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"Was looking for something after my baby shower, since the theme was birds thought this was a great find. Being able customize the card was an added bonus. Paper is top quality and graphics were right on."

Beautiful selection, quality exceeded not only my expectations... it exceeded my hopes
I bought these as a gift for my wife for our fist Christmas together as husband and wife. These 7mm aquamarine studs are big, but not too big. They look fantastic.
Lovely Earrings
These earrings are a beautiful compliment to the aquamarine necklace I bought from BN. A very light blue but still beautiful. Love them.
She loves these earrings
The aquamarine stud earring are stunning. 7 mm size really blings! wife loved them
I've been wanting aquamarine earrings for a while. These are just perfect! Great size and sparkly. They are the palest blue and almost look like diamonds at first glance. Love them!
Beautiful color
The color of the stones are beautiful. The quality is great. The only thing preventing me from giving this 5 stars is that it would be nicer if the size of the stones were bigger.
My wife was very happy with both the quality and the size, I was happy with the price.
Lite blue in colour, clear stones, nice settings. Original order received had a very nice clear stone and 1 with numerous occlusions and I sent it back. The returned stones were what they should have been in the first place but Blue Nile Customer Service was exceptional. A new pair with nicely matched stones were sent without any problems.
Beautiful earrings, very sparkly!
I bought these earrings for my wife for Christmas. She loves them - they are beautiful and sparkly - but we are exchanging them for the smaller 5mm size. She would like to wear them for everyday and she felt that the smaller size would be better for this.
They are as beutiful as my wife
They are well crafted and elegant. They look even better with her blue eyes. Christmas morning was very special because of these earrings. Thanks BN
Absolutely Perfect!!!
Absolutely perfect!!! I was very nervous about buying jewelry unseen on a website. However, the whole process could not have been better. Earrings arrived two days earlier than expected (during the Christmas rush). The earrings themselves are perfect. Thank you.
Made her Christmas
Gourgeous pale (preferred) color. Compliments a ring she has. Look like diamonds with a pale aqua hue. She loved them.
Purchased for my college age daughter as a birthday gift. Just the right size. 7MM was too big. Customer service was very helpful with whole exchange/refund process.
Beautiful Earrings
Beautiful earrings. Many do mistake these for diamonds until they notice the blue tint to them. They look great on my wife who has blue eyes. The cost of these at Blue Nile was nearly half of the jewelry store in town.
Amazing Earrings - My wife Loves them!
I bought these earrings for my wife and she loves them. In the box, they looked like diamonds, but once she put them on you can see the color. They are light blue and she loves how light they are.
I love them.
Just what I had in mind, I love them. I bought them for myself as a birthday gift.
Great Product & Service
These are a great product. Look exactly like pictured and described. Great service and quick shipping.
Smash hit!!
I purchased these for my mother's birthday. I read most of the reviews about them before I made my purchase. The earrings are pale, but they are also stunning. If these are for a woman that does not own real diamond earrings they will love them because being as pale as they are, they do look like diamonds from a distance. The quality of the setting is amazing. This is my third purchase from blue nile and I have to say: you cannot find this quality at these prices in the mall or your local jewelry store. If her birthday is in march, get these. For a younger woman you may choose to go with 5mm instead.
Great stones
I bought both the 5mm and 7mm round aquamarine studs b/c I couldn't decide without trying them both. I kept the 5mm and returned the 7mm. The setting (on both) is a bit awkward so the 5mm looks more genuine - simple and pretty. And it's not that the 7mm stone is too big, rather the setting makes it appear clumsy and possibly costume-ish. The aquamarine stones themselves are beautiful. I also found the 5mm to have a touch more aqua - the 7mm could almost pass as a diamond b/c it was paler in color. To qualify my review....I am a 38-yrs. old wife and mom and switch between my Tiffany flower diamond studs and 1 carat diamond studs to now these...something simpler that complements my eyes. Hope this helps someone in their purchase.
Larger than I expected, but they look great on my wife. They are a lighter blue, such that my wife thought they were diamonds at first.
I love the earring so much I wear them every day!
They were beautiful - the earrings were much larger and paler than I expected, and looked almost like diamonds.
Score one for the husband
These earrings were just as described and look great. They were a big hit with my wife.
A great purchase.
Great Customer Service - beautiful earings...a shade lighter than expected, but the wife loves them. Really impressed with the whole transaction.
A great surprise
The earrings are great. Blue Nile 's site offers a good selection and fast service.

With the rise of the cloud, the modern datacentre -- or datacenter -- is undergoing a metamorphosis as companies look to new technologies to help them squeeze the most out of their IT infrastructure. ZDNet has embarked on a year-long datacentre tour to get a handle on which vendors are making it big, which strategies companies are using to cut the costs of running their power-hungry datacentres and how the growth of cloud computing is shaking up the market.

Has anyone else seen it? It's a bright orange case with six songs I think.
I feel like it's been around forever, but I've never bothered to pick it up.
It's got songs like Buddy Holly, Beverly Hills, Island in the Sun, Perfect Situation (I think), and a few more.
Is it just the songs, or is the music videos too? I feel like it's a completely useless CD.
Views: 66
Yeah, the only reason I MIGHT have bought it was if it had the videos. Then still, probabaly not.
I was just kind of curious.
I eBay'd it for 58 cents. I'm awaiting the day a fan begs for it.
Is it a recording contract obligation or something?
Never seen this myself. I hope Best Buys decision to open a couple of stores in the UK wasn't just to help get rid of a load of bright orange cd's.

Third purchase from Flipkart (COD). Timely arrival, and brilliant product. Does exactly what it says. Also, looks far more beautiful in real than on the Internet.

Welcome to my Unofficial Polynesian Resort pages. Thanks to all the readers who have emailed me over the years, these web pages turned from a one page collection of some trip photos to a multi-page information site about one of the most loved resorts.
If you know what longhouses fit your category, visit these pages to get an idea of what each is like.
For some people the Polynesian is a destination not to stay at but to eat at. Many make a special trip to the Polynesian just for the food.
The Polynesian can be very unique not just with it's longhouses and dining -- there's plenty to do and see all over the resort.

Switch: "The Next Big Thing"?
By Oonagh Reidy | Tuesday | 01/10/2013
This clever Switch is a powerful Bluetooth speaker, and an audiophiles dream.
Switch has three speakers, active sub-woofer and enhanced bass-reflex system. The Bluetooth ready speaker lets you stream tunes from your mobile or other compatible devices.
It has already got industry nod including iLounge 'best of show' finalist 2013.
Created by Native Union, this very cool wirelesss speaker was designed by pro sound engineers for exceptional natural sound and clarity throughout the frequency range - for all music genres, classical to drum & bass.
But its not just a silly old speaker - Switch is also conference call unit and charger for your mobile, works in vertical or horizontal position.
And its light - weighs less than an iPad. It has a cool volume control wheel, that alternates between music/calls for up to 14 hours at a time.
SWITCH comes in rubberized or gloss finishes in a variety of snazzy colours, including Bordeaux, White or Black or Aquamarine.
"Wireless speakers have become an essential accessory for today's consumer who seeks solutions to fluidly switch gears between work, travel and play," says John Brunner, managing director, Native Union.
"SWITCH is a true, all-around speaker, complete with an interesting design aesthetic for people looking for the next big thing in wireless speaker technology."
The speakers battery acts as a portable power bank for USB-ready devices like smartphones, cameras, tablets.
And the $199.95 price tag doesn't sound bad, either.

t's also a good idea to include the <noembed> tag to support browsers which don't recognize the <embed> tag. You could, for example, use <embed> to display a movie of your choice, and <noembed> to display a single JPG image.
Here is a simple example to play embed a midi file:
<embed src="/html/yourfile.mid" width="100%" height="60" >
<noembed></noembed>
This will produce following result:
You can put any media file in src attribute. You can try it yourself by giving various files.
Following is the list of important attributes for <embed> element.
align - Determines how to align the object. It takes either center, left or right.
autostart - Indicates if the media should start automatically. Netscape default is true, Internet Explorer is false.
loop - Specifies if the sound should be played continuously (set loop to true), a certain number of times (a positive value) or not at all (false). This is supported by Netscape only.
playcount - Specifies the number of times to play the sound. This is alternat option for loop if you are usiong IE.
hidden - Defines if the object shows on the page. A false value means no and true means yes.
height - Height of the object in pixels or en.
width - Width of the object in pixels or en.
pluginspage - Specifies the URL to get the plugin software.
name - A name used to reference the object.
src - URL of the object to be embedded. This can be any recognizable by the user's browser. It could be .mid, .wav, .mp3, .avi and so on).
volume - Controls volume of the sound. Can be from 0 (off) to 100 (full volume). This attribute is supported by Netscape only.
Flash movies (.swf), AVI's (.avi), and MOV's (.mov) file types are supported by the embed tag.
Here is a simple example to play a flash file.
<embed src="/html/yourfile.swf" width="100%" height="250" >
<noembed></noembed>
This will produce following result. Select a picture and paint it using virtual bursh.

You can use the <bgsound> tag to play a soundtrack in the background. This tag is for Internet Explorer documents only. Other browsers ignore the tag. It downloads and plays an audio file when the host document is first downloaded by the user and displayed. The background sound file also will replay whenever the user refreshes the browser display.
This tag is having only two attributes loop and src. Both these attributes have same meaning as explained above.
Here is a simple example to play a small midi file:
<bgsound src="/html/yourfile.mid" >
<noembed></noembed>
This will produce blank screen. This tag does not display any component and remains hidden.
Currently, Internet Explorer can handle three different sound format files: wav, the native format for PCs; au, the native format for most Unix workstations; and MIDI, a universal music-encoding scheme.
HTML 4 introduces the <object> element, which offers an all-purpose solution to generic object inclusion. The <object> element allows HTML authors to specify everything required by an object for its presentation by a user agent
Here are few example:
You can embed a HTML document in an HTML document itself as follows:
<object data="data/test.htm" type="text/html"
width="300" height="200">
alt : test.htm
Here alt attribute will come into picture if browser does not support object tag.
You can embed a PDF document in an HTML document as follows:
<object data="data/test.htm" type="application/pdf"
width="300" height="200">
alt : test.pdf
You can specify some parameters related to the document with the param tag. IE sometimes needs a src parameter to understand the location. Here is an exmaple to embed a wav file:
<object type="audio/x-wav" data="data/test.wav"
width="200" height="20">
<param name="src" value="data/test.wav">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
<param name="autoStart" value="0">
alt : test.wav
You can add a flash document as follows:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
id="penguin" codebase="someplace/swflash.cab"
width="200" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="flash/penguin.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

You can add a java applet into HTML document as follows:
width="200" height="200">
<param name="code" value="applet.class">
The classid attribute identifies which version of Java Plug-in to use. You can use the optional codebase attribute to specify if and how to download the JRE.
For a complete list of attributes of this object please check HTML Object Tag.
You can reference any external document, regardless of type or format, via a conventional anchor tag:
Here is an example to reference an audio file. Similar way you can refer any world document, PDF file, zip file etc.

Just like any referenced document, the server delivers the desired multimedia object to the browser when the user selects the link. If the browser finds that the document is not HTML or XHTML but rather some other format, it automatically invokes an appropriate rendering tool to display or otherwise convey the contents of the object to the user.
Browsers identify and specially handle multimedia files from one of two different hints: either from the file's Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type, provided by the server, or from a special suffix in the file's name. The browser prefers MIME because of its richer description of the file and its contents, but it will infer the file's contents (type and format) from the file suffix: .gif or .jpg, for GIF and JPEG encoded images, for example, or .au for a special sound file.

IPhone Apps Review.
Posted by Garry Robert at 7:33 AM. Placed in iPhone Apps category
The launch of the iPhone technologies complete with applications signaled a tremendous rush from both amateur and expert designers alike to profit on this fresh industry location. Ridiculous stories of teens locked away inside their bedrooms producing amazing results and producing marketable applications now are common-place. But, the vividness of the market has altered the game. Now apps must be better-than in the past. With limited space to the unit itself, clients are selecting to go on the internet and also as a way to discover more before parting with their money discover app review sites and eating valuable space on the phone. Yes, there are applications for everything, but furthermore are they worthwhile?
Several app review sites are quick to understand this change on the marketplace. They've produced a web-based community to provide the opportunity to individuals to get their views on applications heard and seen. Fortunately with no need to register or become an associate. You can hunt your wanted application, hop right on and study suggestions from others. Better yet, it is possible to contribute by leaving your-self to suggestions. This chain of opinions becomes nearly as a forum devoted to every individual app, which is just likely to get larger.

A scale model of the VolturnUS, a floating wind turbine project designed by University of Maine scientists. Is it worth risking hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign investment to help the University of Maine? Gov. LePage says yes, and it's a question returning Maine lawmakers must answer.
Gordon Chibroski, Staff Photographer
Verso has been joined by some of the state's leading manufacturers, including Bath Iron Works, Madison Paper, Sappi and Hutamaki Maine, said Tony Buxton, a lawyer who represents large industrial energy customers.
"What we have here is a minor inconvenience for Statoil and a major problem for the manufacturing sector," he said.
LePage has made it clear that he opposes the terms of an agreement and the above-market power rate that Statoil won last winter before the Maine Public Utilities Commission. The governor wants the PUC to make a second round of requests for competitive bids for deep-water wind power projects, with assurances that the university's project would qualify. The PUC would make "all reasonable efforts" to complete the review by the end of December, according to a recent draft of the amendment obtained by the Portland Press Herald.
"We're at a point where these decisions will have an effect for decades," said Patrick Woodcock, the governor's energy director. "The state has to decide which direction to go. We're at a crossroads."
Maine passed the Ocean Energy Act in 2010 with the goal of making the state a center of offshore energy research and development. Supporters say it someday could lead to thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investment.
Last month, UMaine launched its one-eighth-scale model turbine into the Penobscot River, for testing off Castine and Monhegan Island. If the concrete-and-composite technology is proven, the next step is to build two six-megawatt turbines that could generate enough power for 6,000 homes.
Statoil, meanwhile, plans four three-megawatt turbines off Boothbay Harbor. It's doing tests this summer. It already has built and tested a full-scale, floating steel turbine off Norway.
UMaine's project wasn't ready to bid two years ago, when Statoil presented its project for the PUC's review, as required by the Ocean Energy Act. Giving UMaine's project another shot would be good for Maine ratepayers, Woodcock said. It would create competition between two different technologies, support the state's university and perhaps lower rates for offshore wind power.
Statoil is not happy about the governor's veto, although it has been careful not to make any public criticism. In a statement last week to the Press Herald, Statoil's project manager for Maine said the company responded in good faith to the state's request for investment to develop offshore wind energy and, based on approvals from the PUC, made "significant investments."
It noted that it has been collaborating with the university on research and development for three years, and has committed to using Maine companies as much as possible to build a commercial-scale wind park.
On Monday, the company was asked by the Press Herald if passage of an amendment that favors UMaine could lead Statoil to abandon its Maine project -- some wind-energy advocates fear that could happen. A spokesman in Norway, Morten Eek, said the company would have no further comment.
As a practical matter, it's too soon to know how the amendment would affect Statoil. The language in the latest draft is loose enough to need a legal interpretation, said Tom Welch, the PUC chair. That job would fall to the three-person commission.
"We would have to make a decision on exactly how to apply it," he said.
Welch said it might be difficult to complete that process and finish negotiating a final contract with a wind energy company by December, as envisioned in the proposed amendment. The PUC has been reviewing Statoil's final contract, and some observers expected it to be signed by this fall.

By Greg Johnson
The NCAA Wrestling Committee is recommending a new rule that would allow the offensive wrestler to grant an escape to his opponent and choose to start in a neutral position.
Committee members believe the change will speed up the action.
"It will save time in positioning wrestlers," said Bob Bubb, who is completing his term as NCAA wrestling secretary-rules editor (he will be succeeded by Ohio Northern wrestling coach Ron Beaschler). "This way, you eliminate any cautions that may occur, and it should speed up the match."
High school wrestling adopted this rule recently, and it has received favorable reviews from referees and coaches at that level.
Some in the wrestling community equate the change to an intentional walk in baseball or softball. If a wrestler feels his chances are better from a neutral-position start, then the option to grant the escape saves time.
That recommendation and others made during the committee's annual meeting April 11-14 in Indianapolis must be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which meets via conference call on May 11. If approved, the recommendations will go into effect for the 2011-12 season.
The committee also recommended new criteria that better define the stalling rule and help ensure its consistent enforcement.
Stalling is defined as one or both wrestlers attempting to avoid wrestling action as an offensive or defensive strategy.
Wrestlers who consistently retreat to the edge of the mat, make no effort to move back into the wrestling area and fail to initiate action will be cited for stalling.
The rule will be applied in the following instances:
Wrestlers must make an attempt to sustain active wrestling and remain in the circle. The offensive and defensive stalling positions include:
"Now the first violation for stalling will be a warning, and then it will be a one-point penalty for a second violation," Bubb said. "The third and subsequent violations will be one point, plus the opponent will be given the choice of the starting position."
There is no longer a disqualification penalty involved in the stalling rule. The referee should no longer feel pressured to stop the match due to stalling.
The committee has become concerned that wrestlers have been using the injury timeout rule as a strategy to avoid wrestling action or being scored on.
Members are thus recommending that a wrestler who signals for an injury timeout that requires the 90-second injury clock to start should be penalized one point. It will be up to the official to determine if the one-point penalty should be applied.
The committee supports the current position that only a referee may call a timeout and has the prerogative to stop a match to determine whether an injury has occurred.
The rule change is not intended to change how officials are determining injuries.
Another recommendation involves the suspension of a coach or institutional representative for flagrant misconduct in the pre-match, in-match or post-match periods.
Persons cited for flagrant misconduct will not be allowed to participate in the team's subsequent event. If flagrant misconduct occurs during the last event of the season, the suspension carries over to the first event of the next season. If someone from the medical team is cited, the coach would have to serve the penalty.
The referee will alert the NCAA national coordinator of officials as soon as possible after the match that a flagrant misconduct violation occurred.
"If a flagrant misconduct is called against a coach or institutional representative, that person has to leave the premises," Bubb said. "The coach or institutional representative will be reported to the NCAA. It will come to the chair of that particular division for possible reprimand."
In addition, the offending contestant will not be credited with points earned before the incident, nor will he receive placement points or an individual tournament award. Other contestants will remain in their respective positions. In dual-team advancement tournaments, the flagrant misconduct penalty points are deducted only for the session in which the offense occurred.

NEW YORK — America had barely begun dinner late Monday afternoon when John McEnroe announced from his CBS booth that, "This is a huge match for our sport."
It was a match that would determine our national tennis championship. And, yes, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic would play a U.S. Open men's final that would define the resurgent Nadal as player of the year for 2013.
Yet more than that, it was a match that would continue to shape one of the sport's great rivalries, a rivalry that holds historical promise to be remembered as the greatest ever.
Rafa vs. Nole.
The Spaniard from the Balearic Islands vs. the Serb raised in war-torn Belgrade.
May they play on forever.
And damn if they didn't that hot January night in Melbourne in 2012 when Djokovic won the Australian Open in an epic five-set match. That one took 5 hours, 53 minutes, the longest Grand Slam final in history. When it was over, chairs had to be brought out during the trophy presentation so the two didn't collapse.
Some called it the greatest match ever played. Certainly it stood as a marathon of the competitive spirit, one that pushed both men to pain and pleasure they never knew possible.
So when the players took the court Monday, 25,000 fans jammed into Arthur Ashe Stadium expecting terrific tennis and hoped for epic. And they got terrific in long stretches, in rallies that lasted longer than most normal humans could hold their breath. They got it until Djokovic couldn't finish off the third set and, with his spirit broken, Nadal finished him off 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
And when it had ended, it would kick off another debate. When Nadal is finished, will he be remembered as the greatest tennis player ever? A year ago, this did not seem possible. He had Joe Namath knees. He would be cut down in his most handsome prime. He missed the London Olympics. He watched the 2012 U.S. Open from home. He missed the 2013 Australian Open. His ranking fell to fifth, lowest in nearly a decade. Nadal slipped back on the clay courts of South American in February and by June, the "King of Clay" would return for his eighth French Open title. Yet there he was at Wimbledon, losing in the first round to 135th ranked Steve Darcis.
Well, as he fell to the court, overwhelmed by joy on this New York night following his second U.S. Open title, Nadal's knees not only weren't wrapped. They were moving like they had when he was 18. And the rest of Rafa? Unbeatable.
"Thirteen Grand Slams for a guy who is 27 years old is incredible," said Djokovic, who has six at 26. "He's definitely one of the best ever to play the game. And he still has a lot of years to play."
This would their 37th meeting, the most of any players in the Open era. Nadal has won 22, Djokovic 15. Djokovic has won 11 of the 18 on hard court. Nadal has won eight of 11 in Grand Slams. Djokovic has won three of the six Grand Slam finals.
Nadal won a memorable semifinal against Djokovic at the French Open this past spring. He let a lead slip away in the fourth set only to rally to win the fifth, 9-7. In a vital moment, Djokovic lost a point when he hit the net. That one took 4 hours, 37 minutes. They had played a 4:10 minute final at the U.S. Open in 2011, with Djokovic winning in four sets. The match Monday would end in 3:21, a blink of the eye compared to some of their battles.
After an uninspired start by Djokovic, the level of tennis grew more and more sublime. McEnroe said defense was being played that never before had been exhibited at any level. They had played so many points of more than 15 strokes that we lost count. One went 23. Another went 28. Most remarkable, Djokovic broke Nadal in the sixth game of the second set on a point that went for 54 shots.
"I felt like I used every drop of energy," Djokovic said.
It was like Pong, yet the two rivals were sprinting around like madmen. CBS figured Nadal covered more than 470 feet on the point, while Novak had covered more than 420. Both guys emptied their bag of shots. Nadal displayed every spin, every angle, ever shot length known to man. Djokovic, the greatest returner ever, finally buckled, betrayed by 53 unforced errors compared to Nadal's 20.
"Nobody brings my game to that limit like Novak," Nadal said.
There was one moment when Nadal's feet went out from under him, yet as he was falling to the court, he kept his eyes locked on the ball and still tried to get a shot off. Nobody tries harder than Rafa. Nobody. Djokovic is close.
He bounced back with a dominating second set. And it was Nadal who was in trouble, broken in the third. Djokovic looked poised to take control of the match. Later, he was triple-break point down. Somehow, someway, the Spaniard found a way to hold and essentially steal the third set.

Today I met with Dr. Howard Kaufman, who 3 months ago moved from Columbia Presbyterian Cancer Center in NY and became the new Director of the Cancer Center at Rush U. Cancer Center – WHAT a GOOD GUY!!!! Dr. Kaufman is much younger than I imagined, and I was very impressed as he showed me blueprints of his vision of the cancer center. His vision is to make the cancer center much more cohesive – first by moving all the parts of the cancer center to the 10th floor.
What a great idea!!!
Those of you who know me well know that I LOVVVVVVVVVVE anything that brings people tighter together, that increases interpersonal contact, that increases collaboration, anything where more and more people work more closely together with a common goal: make the cancer world a better place!!!
Dr. Kaufman's vision with certainly keep the physician's working more closely together, which is a big positive, but it also increases the likelihood that cancer fighters and survivors will be sitting near each other and just happen to start talking and become FRIENDS!! Isn't that what Imerman Angels really is after all? It's all about FRIENDSHIPS where a person helps another person – people who share a bond are simply helping each other – so that EVERY one of us can find their way to that finish line and win their lives back from cancer!!! That's what it's all about in my mind.
Hats off to Dr. Kaufman who I believe is off to a great start!!!
Dr. Kaufman gets it – and his first vision illustrates it clearly in my mind.
The closer we are to each other, the more we share with each other, the more we collaborate – the better off EVERYONE will be. This is what the cancer world needs – I am certain of that!!!
I wish everyone well!!!!
