After some debate, my
mother, who is elderly and lives alone, decided that it would be
best if she invested in a Personal Emergency Response System.
Although we both live in the same state, I don't live close enough
to get to her quickly if she had any type of an emergency. Shortly
after she had the system installed, she awoke quite early one
morning with great difficulty breathing. She called me to tell me
the problem, and I had to remind her that all she needed to do was
press her "help" button.
We had no sooner hung-up with one another,
when she received a call from the operator at the emergency response
center. The gentleman asked for her name and address, and continued
to reassure her until the paramedics arrived. She was given oxygen
and medication and taken to the nearest hospital. Although I had a
sense of urgency, the long drive to the hospital didn't seem to be
as bad as it could have been, because I knew she had received help
quickly, and was with capable, medical professionals. She is fine
today, and we are both glad that she had a PERS installed. It's
taken some of the pressure and intensity away from having to be a
caregiver from a distance.

Not convinced of this until we cut Diehl lol
He's cutting people because he has no choice.
Great article and JR makes the right move 99% of the time on cutting the cord. That's why, while sad, I'm not mad that AB (my favorite player) got cut.
But I still fault JR for letting Cofield walk and keeping Canty who just got cut. That was just stupid.

Humidity is on the rise here and that's a good thing for us. We'll still be in the 100s for most of the next 7-10 days, it appears but hopefully, some of that humidity will cause us to get a little very much needed rain.

Korg MiniKorg-700S
The MiniKorg-700S is an old and simple monophonic analog keyboard from Korg. It is a dual-oscillator synth related to Korg's first monosynth, the single oscillator MiniKorg-700. Most of the controls are located in an odd place beneath the keyboard so as to make room above the keyboard for a sheet-music stand. Some controls have bizarre names like Bender, Traveler and Expand for the auto-bend, filter and envelope, respectively.
It has three ring modulators for some strange sounds and noises. Sometimes a decent bass sound for techno music can be achieved using the MiniKorg's hi-pass and low-pass filters. The two oscillators can be de-tuned and they offer triangle, sawtooth and square waveforms. There are some strange analog effects built-in as well such as portamento, a rudimentary repeat-delay, auto-bend (bender), vibrato and Chorus and Noise waveforms.
This limited and quirky little synth is a nice collectors item but rarely seen or used anymore. It has relatively no performance controls like pitch/mod, but for ancient analog technology, this synth is quite stable and reliable. It is still quite capable of generating a very analog bass sound, thud, thump, growl or squeal. The wood side-panels and large primary colored knobs and sliders are a sure sign of Vintage status. It has been used by The Cure, ComaTeens, Kitaro, Human League, N-Trance, Vangelis, the Normal, Stevie Wonder, The Cars and Paul Hardcastle.

Marcelline Gangl is an ambassador who studied abroad in France
Major: Psychology
Why did you choose to study abroad and how did you decide on this program?
I took my first French class in 8th grade and the more I learned about the culture and language, the more I wanted to experience it first-hand. In high school, I had the opportunity to go to France for a few weeks and I thought that would be my chance! My parents said that I should wait to study abroad in France until college. When I started at St. Ben's it was never a question of whether I would go or not. I really wanted to have a chance to experience the culture I had been studying since middle school.
Briefly describe a specific cultural experience you had on your trip that made a lasting impression.
The International Collége de Cannes offers a theatre class, for which the director of the Collége writes a one-act for those involved. The director of our program highly recommenthat we all enroll in the course to help with pronunciation. The play was all in French and getting the pronunciation down took much discipline and many failed attempts. There were days in play practice when it would be common to not understand what was going on or being said. And yet, the cast overcame that hurdle-we created a community that did not rely on the spoken language for communication but one that could communicate and understand each other in different ways. After 3 months of hard work, the French public was invited to see the show. The French are very particular about their art and their language so it was very intimidating to have them in the audience. Throughout the play, they reacted with us! They laughed, they cried, they followed the story! After the play, audience members came up to us and congratulated us on the show and said that our accents were wonderful and they enjoyed themselves. My grammar professor gave me and my fellow classmates a great big bear hug and said that he was so proud. That moment showed that the hard work we put in to learn the culture and language paid off! It was a great accomplishment and it meant so much for the audience to give us such positive feedback.
Describe your overall study abroad experience.
Overall, my study abroad experience was truly indescribable. It feels like a dream being back. And yet, like dreams, there were low points and high points. It never got old to walk past the Mediterranean after running errands or watching the sunset behind the mountains. It was a semester of feeling like the luckiest person alive. And the excitement made it easier to try different experiences and be bold in trying out the language. It has been the best way to learn-it was always hands-on and I felt like a student of the world. All in all, though, it was a semester of learning how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. There are societal norms that one can only pick up being in a culture and copying those around oneself. It was a semester of learning how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. All in all, it was a semester of trying something new every day, no matter how small, and taking advantage of the opportunities around us.
Based on your experiences abroad, what are some of the benefits of spending a semester abroad? How has studying abroad contributed to your personal, academic, and professional development?
It's opened my eyes and made me more of a proactive student. I'm no longer content with just sitting and absorbing the information-I prefer to investigate and find answers myself. It's helped me think on my feet and be okay with everything not going as planned (sometimes that leads to the best experience anyways). I have done theater since middle school and I did speech in high school but they never gave me the self-confidence that study abroad did. There is just something about living in another country and being self-reliant that really can boost ones confidence.
What advice can you offer for CSB/SJU students who are considering or planning to study abroad?
If you're considering it, do it! St. Ben's/ St. John's has such a great study abroad program that they can help even the busiest of students fit in some sort of study abroad adventure. It's by far one of the best experiences I have had in college. One girl on our trip said it well it was our semester to "live simply and simply live". Do not be afraid to try new things or feel overwhelmed, you are there to have the experience of a life time!
Do you have any questions about studying abroad in France? Contact Marcelline at [email protected]

Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) reversed course this afternoon, as its Z10 handset went on sale in the U.S. for the first time, at AT&T (T), with the shares giving up earlier gains of as much as 4%, closing off $1.25, or almost 8%, at $14.91.
Not helping the shares, perhaps, is a piece a short while ago from Canada's Globe & Mail's Joanna Slater and Iain Marlow reporting that there are "no lineups as BlackBerry 10 arrives in U.S. stores."
Assumedly on the scene, the authors observe,
AT&T store in the heart of Manhattan's Times Square, there was no outward sign that Friday was a crucial day for BlackBerry in the world's largest market for high-end smartphones – no signs, no banners and no lines. Inside the store, staff outnumbered customers. And there, at the start of nine smartphones all in a row, sat the Z10 in its American debut.
Update: The Wall Street Journal's Drew Fitzgerald and Will Connors in their piece this afternoon characterize the matter thusly: "Research in Motion's new BlackBerry landed with a bit of a thud in the U.S. forest of smartphones."
The reporters, like Slater and Marlow, highlight the apparent lack of prominence given the phone at AT&T:
At two AT&T stores in Manhattan, there were neither special signs or floor displays to highlight the Z10. Apple Inc. (AAPL), on the other hand, still had its own space on the wall prominently displaying three different iPhones in the stores. At an AT&T store in downtown San Francisco, when a customer asked to see the Z10, the store's representatives had to retrieve it from the back. The device had not been put out on display at the store's opening because of difficulties setting it up, a store employee said. The device was eventually installed on a display at a back corner of the store, away from a large sign advertising the iPhone 5.

December 2011 — GAO's Comments on the Latest Round of Recipient Reporting
What GAO Found
GAO focused this review on the quality of full time equivalent (FTE) data as reported by recipients of weatherization funds under the Recovery Act to FederalReporting.gov and efforts the Department of Energy (DOE) made to validate those data. Each quarter, DOE performs quality assurance steps on the data that recipients provide to FederalReporting.gov, and officials reported that data quality continues to improve. Through these reviews and their interactions with recipients, DOE weatherization officials concluded that recipients now understand the reporting process and stated that the data reported for each reporting period have been of higher quality than the previous period. Reviewing the weatherization program data in FederalReporting.gov from the second reporting period, which ended on December 31, 2009, to the ninth reporting period, which ended on September 30, 2011, GAO continued to check for errors or potential problems by repeating analyses and edit checks discussed in previous reports. GAO reviewed data associated with the 58 weatherization program recipient reports and 34 training center grants made to weatherization recipients posted on Recovery.gov for the ninth reporting quarter.
Overall, the recipients reported on Recovery.gov that the Recovery Act weatherization program funded an increasing number of FTE positions for recipients and subrecipients from the quarter ending December 2009 through the quarter ending December 2010, increasing from about 8,300 FTEs to 15,400 FTEs over that period. After December 2010, the number of FTEs began to decline because some recipients completed weatherization work as the end of the program draws near. As of the quarter ending September 30, 2011, FTEs declined to about 14,090 as weatherization work was completed and funds spent. DOE weatherization officials told GAO that recipients are reducing the number of FTEs by an average of 200 jobs per month, which will continue to decrease until no FTEs remain by the scheduled end of the program in March 2012. Following Office of Management and Budget guidance, recipients reported on FTEs directly paid for with Recovery Act funding and not the employment impact on suppliers of materials (indirect jobs) or on the local communities (induced jobs). DOE weatherization officials and recipients told GAO that the number of jobs funded by the Recovery Act would be greater than the peak of 15,400 FTEs if the data on jobs funded included the associated jobs from the manufacturers of weatherization products, such as companies producing caulking guns or blower door technologies. Figure 7 shows the changes in the number of FTEs recipients reported from the quarter ending December 31, 2009, through September 30, 2011. According to DOE officials, all weatherization recipients reported to FederalReporting.gov for the quarter ending September 2011.
As in previous quarters, DOE performed a number of quality assurance steps on the data to help ensure the quality of the weatherization program's Recovery Act data. To support recipients' data quality, DOE asks the 58 recipients to report data on expenditures and weatherization production each month in DOE's PAGE system. DOE program officers who work directly with each recipient review the data submitted to ensure consistency. Also, DOE weatherization officials reported that they check data quality for data submitted by the 58 recipients in each recipient report against data collected in internal databases, such as PAGE. According to officials, data that do not correspond to the recipient report are flagged for comment and review. If discrepancies are found, DOE project officers work with the weatherization recipients to resolve them.
According to DOE weatherization officials, DOE does not plan to use recipient-reported data internally, but the officials cited the data's usefulness in providing independent data on the numbers of jobs funded by the weatherization program. DOE weatherization officials told GAO that these data help support the program and its relevance by highlighting the extent to which DOE has achieved its program targets of funds spent, homes weatherized, and jobs funded.
What GAO DidBack to top
For GAO's review of the latest submission of recipient reports, covering July 1, 2011, through September 30, 2011, GAO built on findings from its prior reviews of the reports, which covered February 2009 through June 30, 2011. To understand how the quality of jobs data reported by weatherization program recipients has changed over time, GAO compared the nine quarters of recipient reporting data that were publicly available at Recovery.gov as of October 31, 2011; performed edit checks; and conducted other analyses on weatherization recipients' reports for the Recovery Act. GAO also matched DOE-provided data from the PAGE system. As part of the matching process, GAO examined the reliability of recipient data in the PAGE system with the information recipients reported directly to FederalReporting.gov. GAO's reliability assessment included interviewing weatherization program officials and state weatherization officials and conducting logic tests for key variables. GAO's matches showed a high degree of agreement between funding information from the PAGE system and the information recipients reported directly to FederalReporting.gov. However, GAO observed that for half of the recipients, the discrepancy between the FTE value shown on their quarterly reports and the FTE value derived from the hours they reported to the PAGE system for the same period exceeded 10 FTEs. GAO's examination of these discrepancies and interviews with DOE program officials indicated that the values observed in the PAGE data were most likely erroneous. DOE program officials stated that they track expenditures, but not FTE data, in PAGE. In general, GAO considers the recipient data used in this report to be sufficiently reliable, with attribution to official sources for the purposes of providing background information and a general sense of the status of recipients' reporting on the weatherization program.

PA Website Is A Joke
Original post made by Amazed, Menlo Park, on Oct 11, 2007
Not knowing if either was open, I went online to find out if they were. Putting each into a separate Yahoo search, I ended up with the #1 link leading into the City's website - and what did I end up with in both cases (after a fair amount of time)? - A "search results" page covering a whole bunch of categories, including soemthing called "Filebank Items") and ZERO matches - not even a phone number!
And looking back at the Yahoo search results page, that city website link was supposed to be the main link to each!
WOW - that's bad. And PA paid how much for this POS? And from what I read in the Daily, they're now trying to upgrade it (to respectability, I guess) in-house? That's of course a REAL cost to the city as well.
Shouldn't someone's head be rolling over this???

If you want more debacles like the website, be sure and vote for the candidates who are endorsed by the Weekly and by the incumbent and ex-council members who gave us this one, the Storm Drain Wastefulness and our potholed streets - among others.
Things will not change unless we voters demand it by electing people from outside the establishment. Great thread here:Web Link

Amazed, I'm with you on our city's pathetic excuse for a website.
The search engine is by FAR the most pathetic search engine that I have EVER encountered. It's unbelievable that this website made it past beta. Who on earth did they test it on, anyway?
I tried to use it again, the other day, to find something out about a few auditor's reports; it was nothing but frustrating.
People do make mistakes - me included, but how an entire website - representing a city, no less - made it this far, and turned out so bad, is just plain weird. I just don't understand how that could happen, especially since the city used experienced contractors.
The latter did NOT do their job, period. I would like the city to demand its money back, or sue the contractors.

The city manager puts out a weekly email called Frank's Weekly Memo. I used the search box and typed that in, in quotes. Nothing.
I tried variations on those words. clicking clicking, then I just gave up.
There is lots of instruction on how to use the site, and how to search
written for people who are new to the web. Unbelievable.

They know there is a problem and are working on it.
Perhaps one of the high tech residents in our city could do their civic duty and offer to help them for free. It would be a nice gesture.
If I knew how to do this, I would help them.
Too bad they didn't consult the Weekly on this.
Anyway, I just returned from a meeting (Thursday evening), and they know they have a problem.
They and are working on it.
In the meantime, the good old phone book is your best bet.

Thanks NG. Of course, the scary thing is that they didn't know they had a problem before they launched it - the gross problems were clear at first blush. Or that they could hire a vendor who would do such a poor job.
It is nice to think "we can all just pull together" - but in a city our size, where we elect representatives and hire a full town staff including a well-paid city managers to get things done - we should expect better than this. When my building contractor builds my garage in the wrong place, I don't roll up my sleeves to help him tear it down and rebuild it - that's his job. And if it was really such a gross error, I fire him and find another. We need more accountability, not sympathy.

I totally agree with all the above comments. But I urge every one of you to send your comments in to the City Council, asking them to take emergency action to fix this unacceptable travesty.
The powers that be in the IT dept have had since July to fix the problems that have been described over and over in excruciating detail, and only a few minor tweaks have been made. The vaunted search produces useless results and takes forever. And why are we being asked to figure out the distinction between "news detail" and "filebank items" anyway?
Each of us could fill pages of further examples of how the information that residents need -- or visitors, or people who want building permits, or business people -- is either not on the website or too hard to find.
But all the messages on this forum won't help. The people on the 7th floor on City Hall don't seem to be reading these posts and to date no one has apologized or taken responsibility for such a colossal mistake. City Council members will listen, however, and if enough residents speak up, maybe we don't have to wait until the 4 new council members take office in January.
Here's how you can make an impact: post here if you want, but most importantly, send a detailed email right away to the City Council that avoids nasty attacks but makes clear that someone needs to be responsible for fixing all the glaring problems, and they need to do it now -- not wait until January.
Address for email to Council:
You might want to take a few minutes to check out a more functional city website:
Web Link
(Compare the logical, understandable terms used in the tabs under the header for Mountain View (City Council, Departments, About Us, Community Development, Public Safety, etc) as well as the "easy to find what you are looking for" drop down menus. And how about the box on the upper right, "How may we help you?" What a concept! )
Oops, it really is tempting to add example after example of how the city's new website was a giant step backwards and is irredeemable. But if you want to make a difference, send your comments to the City Council at the address above!

For what it's worth NG, I offered the council my services for free. They did not reply at all. Here is the email I sent on Aug 7:
Dear council members,
I am a Palo Alto resident, a voter of several years, and a software
engineer with 10 years of experience. Speaking as an engineer trained
in many aspects of usability, and with significant experience in web
software, the new website is beyond repair. Even if it can be made
acceptable to a greater segment of citizens, it will take a very long
time. Surely, your IT staff must have a full backup of the previous
site and could reinstate it in a matter of days if not sooner. Please
do so quickly.
The new site breaks all existing links on the web to vital pieces of
information about the city. It breaks search engines, bookmarks, and
other personal links.
The new site makes simple and common tasks difficult and cumbersome.
The new site consists largely of self congratulatory text with
little or no informational value, which is a net-negative as it
prevents citizens from accessing real information.
I am available to consult with the city council if needed (after
work, on my own time), to help find future solutions. For the interim,
I sincerely ask you to consider and implement a speedy reinstatement
of the previous website. I also ask as a taxpayer that you halt all
payments to the web contractor for several obvious reasons.

Noah, that's big of you. I suggest the city take you up on this offer.
What stuns me (I'm repeating, because this website is the most incredulous piece of municipal wab rtash that I have ever seen, or experienced) is that it ever went live.
If we cannot get our money back for this piece of trash, we have been robbed, period.
Many things happen in organizations that aren't perfect; people make mistakes (me, too) - but *this*?? A website is supposed to go through LEVELS of sign-off. Even if city staff didn;t know that, the contractors should have.
This is an EGREGIOUS failure, and ABSOLUTELY a considerable BREACH of any web contractor's terms-of-service with a client.
If we do not sue, or DEMAND our money back, a full investigation by the Weekly or Daily is in order.
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Oct 13, 2007 at 10:11 pm
Noah, that WAS really nice.
Periwinkle, I agree too.
We have been ripped off. The company who developed the web site should be revealed. It should be made public since we paid for it.
Maybe they would fix it without further fees to our city to save their reputation.
It is so hard to believe that this has happened in a city that is known to be technologically advanced and home to Steve Jobs, HP, and now Google.

I don't know what the contract was with the outside firm (you can search this site and find their name - I've seen in on earlier posts), but presumably they built to the specification of and the work was accepted by and approved of by the city staff. They also made the decision to go live with it when they did, with tons of info missing from it. Those are the people who should be held accountable.
a resident of Midtown

For proof that none of the dozens of detailed comments on all the discussion threads related to the fiasco of the city's website have been understood by the responsible staff, see this information report included in the Council packet for October 1st:
CMR 371:07 (Informational) for the Council Meeting of October 1, 2007
Web Link
By the way, if you use Google to search for "CMR 371:07", it takes .21 seconds and takes you to the reverse chrono listing of all 2007 City Manager's Reports. Scroll down a couple screens to find the various reports for the October 1 meeting (or use "Find on this page") and there it is.
-- Guess what happens if you search for "CMR 371:07" or "UPDATE ON CITY WEBSITE REDESIGN PROJECT" using the search window on the city's web site? It takes painfully long, and the result is "No Matches Found."
If you don't think this report addresses the problems with the city's website, send your comments to the City Council -- they need to hear from the citizens on this.

CTO, the most disturbing thing to me is that there isn't any acknowledgement that there is a problem - it is more like there is a good thing and it keeps getting even better. The design, btw, I don't care so much about - I don't like it, but we can survive. But the usability, the horrible search feature, and the apparent lack of info - that makes it not really usable.
Have you sent just links or copies of these threads to the council members, city manager, and the people who signed the memo? I would hate for them to say "I didn't know."
FWIW, my guess is the content will improve (it can only go up); but the search is SO BAD as to be unusable. Delivering results by type vs. relevance or importance - it is like going back to 1997 search engines. If all they did was toss this out and just use Google search the site, it would at least be accessible. Then they just have to add a ton of missing info...

From Native Girl:
"Perhaps one of the high tech residents in our city could do their civic duty and offer to help them for free."
NG, in addition to Noah offering his services for free, I created a script that cleans up the Web site and makes it more readable. My script fixes it now, without waiting for the city to take action, but it can only fix cosmetic/readability issues. The script is here:
Web Link
Oh, it also fixes some broken links on their site. Anyway, the point is that my script is free, and the city is welcome to take that script and incorporate the fixes. But after reading the PDF someone provided (the one that provides an update on their Web work), I don't think they will. It seems that readability is for the "text only" version of the site.

They could do one thing that would help a lot, and that is put a link to the old web site on the home page of the new web site. It is not unusual for companies making a transition to a new web site to do that.
It's just stunning how bad a job was done on the new web site and how unbelievably much money they wasted on this. How could anyone with the slightest web experience authorize that amount of money? Really whoever was at the top of the heap of this project should be out on the street.

Thanks aboyd. Your script is a definite improvement. There are two other extremely annoying "features" to the cityofpaloalto.org site.
1. The search engine is really, really bad. Presumably the content is within a database somewhere but it would be useful if we could get another search engine to index the database. Know of any deep internet search engines which we could use to provide an alternative search capability?
2. The color choice of lime green titles and white text on a gray background is hard to read and somewhat putrid. Can Grease Monkey automatically change these things or give the user the option to change them?

Because the design is bold and unique, a text-only version was developed and a reverse-color print version made available prior to go-live. Staff anticipated, especially with such a major change in site design and functionality, that additional work would be required after "going-live." For example, staff expected to further refine search results through keywords and content placement as visitors began to actually search for information. This technique is working well and helping to enhance search speed and number of results found. "
SPIN! There is simply no acknowledgement of how egregiously PATHETIC this website is. I don't want to let this one go. Who do they think they're kidding with this mealey-mouthed, half-baked excuse for a rip-off by outrageously overpaid web contractors?
This is a PATHETIC piece of work for $240K. It would have been a PATHETIC peice of work for $80K!! This website is AMATEURISH GARBAGE!!
This isn't 1999, when everyone who hcalled herself a web designer was commanding big bucks from ignorant, cash-rich Internet startups that failed in one fell swoop, a year later.
This is 2007, when BASIC useability issues shuold be ASSUMED in ANY release of a public website. There's no way something like this would EVER happen in the private sector - not today - without those responsible getting serious demerits, or outright fired. I don't want to see the latter happen, but hearing the above spin makes me want to see it happen.
There is simply no accountability.
IN case our City Council didn't realize, transparent access to information, in 2007 is made possible by the Internet. This piece of crap website compromises democracy, itself. Think about that.
Saying "we know there is a problem" is PATHETIC! Why don't we have the old site back, until this piece of GARBAGE is fixed?
Or, could it be that the contractor irresponsibly scrapped the old site, or broke it in ways that keep it from being fixed, or cobbled this one so poorly that a seamless transfer of archived information can't be accessed by the current website's structure?
Something is very wrong here, and it's WAY more wrong than anyone is admitting. We should not have to wait for a YEAR while this website "learns" from current web searches, or staff fills in content. how many more $$$ is staff time contributing to this fiasco?

In December, Administrative Services Director Carl Yeats retires.
I doubt we'll see any acknowledgment of the website's deficiencies until then.

Seasonal service, take a look at when we fly.
As far back as 2,000 years ago, when the Mayan civilization first discovered and settled the island of Cozumel, this quiet patch of land about 19 km off the eastern shoreline of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula existed as place of rest and rejuvenation.
During the 17th century, pirates like the infamous American buccaneer Jean Lafitte used the island to lay low and to quietly organize clandestine operations. Before that, the Mayans considered Cozumel (or Ah-Cuzamil-Peten, which translates to "land of the swallows") to be the second-most sacred pilgrimage site after Chichen Itza near Cancun.
Legend has it Mayan women were required to visit the island at least once in their lives to pay homage to Ixchel, the goddess of fertility and childbirth. Not surprisingly, thousands of years later, the Mexican getaway is still a hotspot for honeymooners and families looking for a quiet place to reconnect with nature and with each other.
One of Cozumel's biggest assets is its size – or lack thereof. Even though it is the largest island in the Mexican Caribbean, it is still less than 48 km long from north to south and 16 km wide from east to west.
The majority of the island's 90,000 residents live close to the western seaboard, between the north and south hotel zones in the city of San Miguel. It is possible to circle the island by car in less than two hours, making it an ideal destination for travellers who visit each year looking for a safe and manageable getaway.
A side effect of the island's close-knit quarters is the friendly, laid-back hospitality extended to tourists and locals alike. In Cozumel, it's often harder to avoid friends than to make them.
Interestingly, Cozumel is not known as a party destination. In fact, most of the hotels on the island have policies deterring spring break crowds.
What it is famous for is diving. The clear turquoise waters on the southwestern part of the island are home to the second-largest reef system in the world. This places Cozumel on the map as one of the top five dive destinations on the planet. Here you'll find qualified guides and tour operators to help you explore the waters.
Snorkelling, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and surfing are among the top activities to try during your visit to Cozumel.
Cozumel is a fantastic destination for:

- beaches
- outdoor adventure

Blowing Smoke – Da Capo
This one was a journey.
Da Capo creative director Alex Camlin and I got together on this book project back in January when the original title was: How Bill O' Reilly Saved Christmas: A Fair and Balanced Account of Right Wing Persecution Fantasies. As one could likely deduce from the final, approved jacket above as well as the initial Bill O' Reilly comps below, the book is an extended exploration of the journalistic practices of FOX news, slippery slope arguments, Bill O' Reilly, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, etc. The opportunity to work with Alex on something was a no-brainer for me, and being impressed as I was (and am) with Rex Bonomelli's handling of A Bold, Fresh Piece of Humanity, however opposite in tone I imagine that book to be, I set off to work.
Having Bill's name in the original title was a fairly obvious point of departure from which to assign visuals so the earliest comps for this went as follows:
Alex and I both championed the title-less pencil rendering of Bill in the Santa hat, but in those early rounds, the collective favorite proved to be the final comp above with the pencil drawing incorporated into the stripes of the US flag. We went through multiple variations on that one before the title was changed up.
When we received word that the title was changed, it was a bit of a doozy. The original title, already a bit lengthy, had now been transformed to: BLOWING SMOKE: Why the Right Keeps Serving Up Whack-Job Fantasies About the Plot to Euthanize Grandma, Outlaw Christmas and Turn Junior Into a Raging Homosexual—quite a mouthful. Also of note was that Bill O' Reilly's name was nowhere to be found amidst all of those words, which meant that we'd be starting from scratch. Our quest began anew with a brand new crack at it:
The whole conceit of the final 'BS' idea felt more like an interesting thought which would never see the light of the day in the real universe, so it was mighty exciting to have Alex return from his editorial and marketing meetings telling me that the crew was all behind BS—the only catch being the common concern that buyers might not make the conceptual leap quickly enough if the complete title wasn't on the cover. At this point, the challenge then became how to make an interesting cover around two huge letters while juggling a handful of other, smaller ones. In exchange for lessening the graphic impact of a big, fat 'BS' standing alone on the cover, Alex encouraged me to experiment with die-cut and transparent jacket options as well as the standard ones. With that, we were back to work:
(My first crack at a transparent jacket option, with the complete author & title printed on the book proper).
(Die-cut option #1)
(Die-cut option #2)
The final treatment above, which would eventually lead to the final, chosen cover, was arrived at in no small part to the perks that one benefits from by working in the same office as a design ninja like Joe Spix. Joe came into my office one afternoon apropos of nothing and asked plainly:
"Hey, you want to play with some photo emulsion transfer markers?"
Joe's far too talented and responsible for me to ever interpret such a question as an invitation to huff those markers' noxious fumes, so I obliged. As he was using them for a wholly different project at Motown, when we ran a few xeroxes and applied them on some raggedy newsprint, the germ of a possibility of a notion of a new comp was born. Once I had submitted it and received the go-ahead from Alex, the only remaining requests from the whole crew were that the title be somehow integrated into the giant 'BS' so to avoid confusion and also to include some color variations. We were close.
And there you go.
This would have been non-possible without Alex's guidance and Joe's conveniently timed experiment. I thank them profusely.

Many of the questions that come to eNature.com are about mystery birds seen but not identified. There was a new bird in my backyard this morning, and I cant find it in the field guide ... is the way many of them begin. From that point on, the description often gets a little fuzzy.
When describing a bird that is unfamiliar, there are some key points to be made that will help identify it:
Size: Is the bird larger or smaller than a robin or a sparrow?
Shape: Does the bird have a long neck, long legs, or long bill?
Color: Is the bird the same color overall, or is it multi-colored. Where are the primary colors? On the head? Throat? Breast? Back? Belly?
Field marks: Does the bird have wing bars? White outer tail feathers, or eye lines or circles around its eyes?
Location: Where was the bird when you saw it? In a tree, on the ground, or in the water? Where in the U.S. did you see it?
Time: When did you see it? Morning, afternoon, evening, or at night? What season of the year was it?
Behavior: What was the bird doing when you saw it? Eating, bathing, singing, sleeping, flying, perching?
Sounds: Was the bird singing, chipping, or making any kind of sound?
These are all important clues, that are very helpful in making an identification of a mystery bird. More often than not, the bird is not rare or even unusual, and with the proper clues, can be identified quickly and easily.
-- George H. Harrison

Linteloo: Feel-Good Designs for Easy Modern Living.
Linteloo was established in The Netherlands in 1993 by Jan te Lintelo.
Born into a family of furniture retailers, Jan's parents started a business, te Lintelo Wonen, which became one of the most successful stores in the region with leading international furniture collections. In his spare time Jan helped his parents in the shop, appreciating the craftsmanship of furniture making at a young age. He attended college in Rotterdam and soon started his career with cabinetmaker Pastoe in Utrecht. After several years with Pastoe and later Gelderland he decided to start his own company, Linteloo.
Linteloo was a departure from the popular Dutch Design influences of the nineties, starting a new concept with a feel-good factor that is now a famous element of Linteloo designs. Today Linteloo is a leading furniture brand with showrooms in Zeist (The Netherlands), Cologne (Germany) and Milan (Italy). Continuing to expand their reach, Linteloo now delivers comfortable designs for easy living all across the globe.
Working intuitively with the use of sketches, Roderick Vos' designs always have a very personal and original expression. His pursuit of products that tell their own stories results in remarkable designs for Linteloo, like the circular Nureyev bookcase and the Popov table. The talent of Roderick Vos is appreciated by producers and consumers all over the world.View other products by Roderick Vos

Hey all! I finally have time to scrap again. =)
I have been working on reorganizing my filing system for the hard files now that I am going to use picasa instead of the elements organizer. I am going to start organizing by collection, but I am having a problem.
When searching for all of the files in a collection throughout the various descriptive folders and sub folders,, the explorer and picasa are only showing a small percentage of the items that contain the filename. I have checked and made sure I am at a top level directory, so it should be searching everything, an made sure that explorer is searching sub folders. I suspect that I am missing something obvious, but I feel like I have tried everything. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?

Depending on who you ask, HTML 5 is either the next important step toward creating a more semantic web or a disaster that's going to trap the web in yet another set of incomplete tags and markup soup.
The problem with both sides of the argument is that very few sites are using HTML 5 in the wild, so the theoretical solutions to its perceived problems remain largely untested.
That said, it isn't hard to see both the benefits and potential hang-ups with the next generation of web markup tools.
What's different about HTML 5?
First off, what do we mean by HTML 5? Ideally, we mean the whole thing — new semantic structural tags, API specs like canvas or offline storage and even some new inline semantic tags. However, for practical reasons (read: browser support issues) we're going to limit this intro to just the structural tags. As cool as Canvas, offline storage, native video or the geolocation APIs are, they aren't supported consistently across all the browsers yet.
The one thing to keep in mind when you're applying styles to the new tags is that unknown tags have no default style in most browsers. They're also treated as inline elements. However, because most of the new HTML 5 tags are structural, we'll want them be behave like block elements. The solution is make sure that you include
display:block; in your CSS styles.
To help make some sense of what's new in HTML 5 today, we're going to dive right in and start using some of the new structural elements.
Finally, a doctype anyone can remember
The first thing we need to do to create an HTML 5 document is use the new doctype. Now, if you've actually memorized the HTML 4 or XHTML 1.x doctypes, you're better monkeys than us. Whenever we start a new page we have to bring up an old one and cut and paste the doctype definition over.
It's a pain, which is why we love the new HTML 5 doctype. Are you ready? Here it is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Shouldn't be too hard to commit that to memory. Simple and obvious. Case insensitive.
The idea is to stop versioning HTML so that backwards compatibility is easier. Whether or not that pans out in the long run is a whole other story, but at least it saves you some typing in the mean time.
Semantic structure at last
OK, we have our page defined as an HTML 5 document. So far so good. Now what are these new tags we've been hearing about?
Before we dive into the new tags, consider the structure of your average web page, which (generally) looks something like this:
  ...stuff...

My Site

Home

About

Contact

My Article

...

...

That's fine for display purposes, but what if we want to know something about what the page elements contain?
In the above example, we've added IDs to all our structural divs. This is a fairly common practice among savvy designers. The purpose is two-fold — first, the IDs provide hooks which can be used to apply styles to specific sections of the page and, second, the IDs serve as a primitive, pseudo-semantic structure. Smart parsers will look at the ID attributes on a tag and try to guess what they mean, but it's hard when ID names are different on every site.
And that's where the new structural tags come in.
Recognizing that these IDs were common practice, the authors of HTML 5 have gone a step further and made some of these elements into their own tags. Here's a quick overview of the new structural tags available in HTML 5:
The header tag is intended as a container for introductory information about a section or an entire webpage. The
 tag can include anything from your typical logo/slogan that sits atop most pages, to a headline and lede that introduces a section. If you've been using

 in your pages, that would be the tag to replace with
The nav element is pretty self-explanatory — your navigation elements go here. Of course what constitutes navigation is somewhat debatable — there's primary site navigation, but in some cases there may also be page navigation elements as well. The WHATWG, creators of HTML 5, recently amended the explanation of
 to show how it could be used twice on the same page.
The short story is that if you've been using a

 tag to hold your page navigation, you can replace it with a simple
 tag.
Section is probably the most nebulous of the new tags. According the HTML 5 spec, a section is a thematic grouping of content, typically preceded by a header tag, and followed by a footer tag. But sections can also be nested inside of each other, if needed.
In our example above, the div labeled "content" would be a good candidate to become a section. Then within that section, depending on the content, we might have additional sections.
According the WHATWG notes, the article element should wrap "a section of content that forms an independent part of a document or site; for example, a magazine or newspaper article, or a blog entry."
Keep in mind that you can have more than one article tag on the page; for example a blog homepage might have the last ten articles, each wrapped in an article tag. Articles can also be broken into sections using the section tag, though you'll want to be somewhat careful when planning your structure otherwise you're liable to end up with some ugly tag soup.
Another fairly nebulous tag, the aside element is for content that is "tangentially related to the content that forms the main textual flow of a document."That means a parenthetical remark, inline footnotes, pull quotes, annotations or the more typical sidebar content like you see to the right of this article.
According to the WHATWG's notes it seems like
 would work in all those cases, despite the fact that there's considerable difference between a pull quote and tag cloud in your sidebar.
Hey, no one said HTML 5 was perfect!
Footer should also be self-explanatory, except perhaps that you can have more than one. In other words, sections can have footers in addition to the main footer generally found at the bottom of most pages.

One of the first decisions every business owner needs to make is what entity to file their business as, and that choice is typically between LLCs vs. Corporations. Really the decision comes down to what fits the needs of the business owner and the business, but there is still discussion on which entity is best. Here at MyCorp, we gathered together a panel of professionals to get their expert advice on LLCs vs. Corporations and which is the best to form for your business. Which side are you on?
1. "Generally speaking, corporate status is preferable. Banks typically don't view LLCs as favorably during the loan application process and corporations don't pay taxes on fringe benefits. These include group-term life insurance, medical reimbursement plans, medical insurance premiums, and more."

No surprise. They have gotten this in the past.Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said he believes government employees should get back pay and, since many may be living "paycheck to paycheck," he asserted, "We as a Congress need to be more sensitive to their needs."
Union officials estimate roughly 800,000 workers will be furloughed as "non-essential" employees in the event of a government shutdown and will demand retroactive pay because the furloughs would "add insult to injury for workers who have been living under a pay freeze for three years."
"We are trying to maintain pressure on this White House that in the event of a government shutdown, that any negotiated settlement includes an agreement that all federal employees — essential and non-essential alike — get paid when the government reopens," Matt Biggs, legislative director for the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers (IFPTE), told The Hill.
They're living paycheck to paycheck? Still doing much better than people who were forced to become part-time employees ... permanently.

BELDEN – Will Lowery likes the result, but now wants to work on the method.
On Friday, Lowery saw his Tupelo Christian Prep Eagles hold off the Thrasher Rebels 12-10 to claim their Class 1A quarterfinals series 2-0.
But the TCPS head coach knows there is room for improvement.
"As a coach, I'm on pins and needles, I never know what I'm going to get with these guys," Lowery said. "I think we scored in every inning, and we wanted to pressure on them with our offense."
The Eagles (23-7) move to a situation in which they found themselves last season, in the 1A semifinals. TCPS will await the winner of the Greenville St. Joe-Smithville series, with Thursday slated to begin the next round.
But to get to just one series away from the championship series, the Eagles had to sidestep themselves and the Rebels (20-9). After moving to an 8-4 lead through four innings, TCPS saw Thrasher bring the tying run to the plate in the top of the seventh inning.
And the pressure of that situation fell on TCPS freshman pitcher Austin Laney, who survived two errors in the frame to induce a double play and a ground out to end the contest.
In moving to its early advantage, Tupelo used a three-run second inning with sacrifice flies by Lee McBunch and Drew Carter, and an RBI hit by Stephen Sexton for a 4-3 lead. TCPS added solo home runs in the third by J. G. Lipscomb and Zach Tybor, and RBIs by Matt Cates and Tybor in the fifth.
Tupelo also added three runs in the sixth, including a two-run hit by Cates.
Thrasher got three runs in the second on RBI hits by Luke Walden and Cole Lawderdale. The Rebels pulled within 11-9 in the top of the sixth on RBIs from Tyree Boren and Kyle Boren.
Pitchers on both teams combined to walk or hit 25 batters in this contest.

Now to the insurance thing.......you already have had lots of good advice about that. The only thing I can add is sometimes we have to compromise and sometimes it hurts. Do what's good for your family at this time and do not look back.
Like others have stated you have to do what is best for your kids, but if you take the easy road, you will have to be a little more understanding to the folks who have also decided to travel that road.
Duck, do whatever is best for your family. If there is a 90 day probationary period anything can happen. I worked for the West Bend Company where I grew up. You had to work there 60 days to be accepted into the union. The company laid off most everyone on the 59th day because after that it would be hard to fire them. Well not long after that one of my friends that I went to high school with and graduated from college that went to work for the West Bend Company asked me to come back as a foreman. In polite terms, I told him to take his job and shove it.
What I am trying to say is take option #2 or whatever is best for your family. You don't need your wife and kids getting angry with you if something should happen to any one of them health wise and not being able to take care of them.
Congrats on the new job. Hope it works out well for you and the family.

Ducknwork, I'll join in the congratulations on the the new job. Done very timely. Maybe things are not as bleak as some would like to paint them. My company is hiring and expanding as well.
I hope you like what you'll be doing.
Whatever you decide about HC, I'm sure you will do it with thought.
If I were in your situation though, I don't know that I would come to PP for advice.
Goodluck, JD

Thanks for the link. I've been to their recruiting board a few times and that Black Jack 55 guy stands out the most. He seems very confident in everything he says, but a lot of what he says is absolutely wrong and biased. He thinks he knows LA players and what is going on at LSU but he doesn't have a clue. It's funny when the other guys there believe everything he says. I think someone showed a thread that had him saying he wasn't very impressed with Fournette. This was after LF skipped their recent camp.
We need all 4. If leslie, obj, and landry all leave early then we will need all 4

WRs we have sent to the NFl, I honestly could not think of any from Texas AM so I believe his coaches must have the LSU butt hurt
But each of those guys made the league despite of, not because of, LSU's offense.
Take whatever issue you will with the language I use, it doesn't make what you said any less idiotic.
So Josh Reed won the Belitnikoff despite of the offense?
I honestly have no clue.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great description, the ability to feel the rod and cast timing is important.
I sometimes will close my eyes and cast, the practice helps smooth out the entire cycle.
|Music to the anglers ears! You can share your joy of casting here anytime brother.
loading and shooooop!
the more i cast, the more i get the feel for 'loading' the rod. partly, i believe, due to using a faster rod than what i started with, therefore, really feeling the rod load when everything comes together. it's almst as if the rod is doing part of the job of casting for you so you can relax and not over power the cast. hard to describe, but for me, it just clicks.
when i was out fishing yesterday, i had moments where i focused on my casting stroke and threw out a few good casts keeping the speed-up-and-stop principle. the casts felt smooth and effortless and the loops tight and clean. to remind myself of the technique, i make a shooOOOOOPP! sound with a crescendo. silly, but effective.
also, the double haul is coming along. the timing feels more natural and the effectiveness is more apparent. all this with clousers whizzing by my head in a good breeze and not a single self hook. huh.
i think having the faster rod that has a nice tip action and solid butt really let's me feel when i'm casting well or not. there isn't much room for error and when the rod loads, i can feel it load. when i am not smooth, my casts show so.
anyhows, it's late and i felt like writing that down somewhere, so here's a good spot i suppose. nite.

Notre Dame coach Ara Parseghian is carried off the field by his players after the Irish beat Texas 24-11 in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1971. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, January 05, 2013 7:17 PM
By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
One of the hazards of this sports writing dive is the ever-present risk that eventually you get too close to the warts and frailties of all of those same things that seemed so All-American perfect and heroic when you were a kid falling in love with the sporting world and the mythical figures who populate it.
Take 1998. That was a sobering eye-opener for me.
Ara Parseghian, the legendary Notre Dame coach of my innocent youth, didn't know me from the man on the moon and, to be fair, wasn't expecting my call that morning when he answered the phone in his kitchen, safely retired somewhere down in Florida.
Gerry DiNardo, who'd played for the Irish under Parseghian, was LSU's coach then and had given me his old coach's phone number. DiNardo was about to go back to his alma mater in South Bend, Ind., for LSU's game against the Irish. It seemed like a natural story.
DiNardo must have been preoccupied with his return because he forgot to warn Parseghian to expect a call from an unidentified southern accent.
"Who is this again?" Parseghian asked, or something to that effect.
It was obvious he was preoccupied with something and not really interested in talking to a stranger. After figuring out it wasn't a crank call, he asked if he could call me back in a few minutes.
Understand, Parseghian was one of the gargantuan college coaches when I was a boy, a legendary figure I thought existed only on black-and-white television and the cover of Sports Illustrated.
One of my first real memories of college football was 1966, Notre Dame and Michigan State in one of those Games of the Century, playing to a 10-10 tie back when ties were still possible.
Notre Dame had the last chance to score and inexplicably sat on the ball, content to settle for the gutless tie, with Parseghian figuring (correctly) the Irish would hold on to their No. 1 ranking.
I would never ever pull for Notre Dame again. I even stuck my toe into a future life of crime by firing off a letter to the editor at Sports Illustrated.
I grew up hating Parseghian because of that one game. It seemed pretty cut and dry, he'd played for the tie.
Now, he'd just blown me off, which seemed about right. He was still evil.
Sometimes, apparently, naive childhood impressions are right on target.
So five or six minutes later Parseghian called back.
It turned out I'd caught him in the middle of making an omelet or something. He didn't want to burn down the kitchen.
He apologized profusely for the delay. We re-established what I was calling about. He gave me several good DiNardo stories.
He was no stranger to interviews, of course, and warmed up to what I was fishing for. I remember thinking he knew he was going to be quoted in Louisiana when he said something about mixed emotions for his old Irish team going against one of his favorite ex-Irish players.
I had all I needed for the DiNardo story in 10 or 15 quick minutes and the "interview" portion was pretty well done.
But we kept talking.
About this and that. About how DiNardo was being received in Louisiana (pretty well, at the time). About the state of college football. He had some ideas and opinions about where it was heading.
Next thing you know he was asking about some old-time LSU athletic department people he'd once known. He wanted to know if I had any kids. How I liked sports writing. How he'd seen coach and media back-and-forth change in his days. Told me some media war stories from his coaching days.
He remembered being in Lake Charles one time recruiting somebody or something he couldn't remember.
We chatted and chatted. He asked if my young daughter got to go to any games. Where'd I'd grown up, etc., etc.
Before I knew it, we'd talked for more than an hour … and I thought I'd never get him of the phone.
Totally charming, naturally friendly, just the nicest, classiest guy you ever wanted to talk with.
In short, another firm childhood image shattered to smithereens.
I finally did ask him about the Michigan State game … and we were chuckling like old buddies by the time I confessed to him what my lifelong reaction to it was.
I bring this up not to rally support for the Irish in their Monday tussle with the Alabamas for the national championship.
I could give you umpteen stories about some wonderful people employed at the University of Alabama, including some far kinder and gentler yarns than you're used to hearing about the Tide's current head football coach.
Believe it or not, there really are wonderfully decent people involved with both programs.
But I realize this thing Monday night is a tough one for a lot of people.
Not much to choose from.
In the South, there are basically two kinds of football fans outside the state of Alabama — those who have grown up cheering wildly for whoever Notre Dame is playing and those who fall in love with whoever Alabama is playing.
Mostly both.
The latter apparently trumps any Southeastern Conference allegiance that might have kicked in if, say, Georgia had won the SEC title game and simplified things.
Parseghian mentioned that he was surprised by the number of Catholic priests on the LSU sideline when the Irish played in Tiger Stadium one year.
Oh, the dilemma.
It's probably unhealthy to, rather than throw temporary allegiance behind one or the other, by picking which of the two teams you'd more relish rooting against, which of two fan bases you'd rather see suffer great pain and anguish.
But apparently that's where we are in college football.
Blame it on the BCS. It gets blamed for everything else.
I'm just trying to point out that there are good things to say about both. But your mom, the one who scolded that if you couldn't say something nice about somebody then don't say anything at all, evidently wasn't a college football fan.
It's just not as simple as elitist Notre Dame fans who often wear stylish patches on the elbows of their tweed coats against arrogant Alabama fans who occasionally wear shoes on their feet.
Otherwise, you're on your own.
Enjoy the championship. Someone will suffer.

Don't remember seeing him use a tee last week. I may be wrong. He has hit over 50yds a few times this season and he had the game winner over Acadiana tonight.
OCS is walking away with 1A
Covenant Christian
Why don't you let them play some decent teams and then we will see if they are the next Curtis or Evangel. Let them schedule area teams like Vandebilt, ED White, etc outside of district and then you will see how good they are. That area of the state has seen a decline in talent over the years. I am not saying the talent won't be there some years but Curtis and Evangel have a better recruiting base.
now HC beating St. Aug? daaaaaaammmmn
St Aug 21
Yeah, Crutch is working with a bunch of cream puffs... It's going to be hard work considering it's been that way for a decade now... He is dealing with kids who are scared to put in hard work... Fournette is the only kid with any kind of leadership right now... The rest are a bunch of cry babies who whine to their parents whenever Crutch put a foot in their arse...
Give it a year or two. These types of changes don't happen overnight. I was part of a program that was very similar (although it involved a bunch of spoiled white boys ). An overhaul of the coaching staff and a revamping of the offseason training program really instilled a sense of discipline in the program. Ever since my freshman year, the team hasn't had a losing record.

Fluorescence & Flow Cytometry Tutorial
great details, thanks...
Posted 22 March 2010 - 05:29 AM
I don't think converting the mean fluorescence as measured by the flow cytometer to RFU is possible, or rather, would make sense. As the name indicates, realtive fluorescence units are no really actual, universally defined units of measurement, but merely indicate the relative intensity of the measured fluorescence as compared to each other. The mean fluorescence measured by the flow cytometer, on the other hand, is the mean of the integrated areas of all light pulses measured by the detector, and is possibly instrument specific.
if any body there can tell about how to calculate relative fluorescence units out of his to gram analysis in FACS. I want to know about mean, geometric mean and CV and their conversion into more understandable format of RFU and SD?
TL;DR I think that RFU and mean fluorescence are instrument- and experiment-specific values which are meaningless without controls to which they can be compared, and can therefore not be converted. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Posted 02 February 2011 - 05:34 AM
First, you need calibration beads with known number of molecules of the fluorochrome of interest binded.
if any body there can tell about how to calculate relative fluorescence units out of his to gram analysis in FACS.

I find it amazing that there is more talk about this damn new logo, than other things that really count.
I'm amazed that the RGIII injury never made it over here, which many on this board predicted would happen, RGIII was a few hits away from being knocked out, which deflates, in my opinion his future outlook and his prognosis is not very good, for at least 12 months.
Will RGIII be just another Michael Vick, whereas if you take away the running ability, all you have is an average QB.
Also, Andrew Lucks devastating loss to the Ravens shows he can't carry his team, which leaves the QB Class of 2012 still up for debate, with the exception of Russell Wilson.

Primary Polycythemia
(Polycythemia Vera [PCV]; Polycythemia Rubra Vera [PRV]; Erythremia)
Polycythemia is a condition that occurs when the bone marrow produces an abnormal and excessive amount of red blood cells and platelets in the blood. The abnormal increase of red blood cells in the blood can cause the blood to thicken and clot.
There are several forms of polycythemia—primary polycythemia, secondary polycythemia, and stress polycythemia. Each form has its own set of causes and risk factors.
|Location of Active Bone Marrow in an Adult
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Nearly all cases of primary polycythemia are believed to be caused by a mutation in the janus kinase 2 gene (JAK2).
Risk Factors
Primary polycythemia is more common in men and people over the age of 40 years of age. It is also more common in people who are Caucasian or those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
The symptoms of primary polycythemia occur gradually and vary from person to person. Some people show no signs of the condition. Symptoms may include:
- Abnormal and heavy bleeding due to a cut or a nosebleed
- Intense and frequent bone pain and/or muscle pain
- Headaches, lightheadedness, or gastrointestinal symptoms
- Vision problems
- Ringing in the ears
- Difficulty or labored breathing
- The color of the skin appears reddish
- Fatigue
- Inability to concentrate
- Intense itching after a warm or hot bath, shower, or any activity that requires soaking your skin in warm or hot water
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a doctor called a hematologist who specializes in blood diseases and disorders. The hematologist will perform a tests.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Bone marrow biopsy
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Phlebotomy is a technique that requires a person to periodically have blood removed from a vein to decrease the overall total proportion of red blood cells in the body. The frequency of the treatment is based on how quickly a person's bone marrow produces an excessive amount of red blood cells.
Chemotherapy is a group of drugs that can be given by mouth, by injection, or through a tube that is inserted into a duct or blood vessel to slow the rapid development of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
You may be given aspirin to reduce your risk of blood clots and spleen removal.
There are no known preventative measures that will reduce your chances of getting primary polycythemia.
There is no cure, but recent research suggests that individuals who have primary polycythemia may significantly increase their overall life expectancy by seeking treatment right away.
