Twelve-year-old Johnny Fremont is the world's only hope when the Council of Fifty, a secret society of the most evil people on the planet, decides to wipe out the entire Southern Hemisphere with a doomsday machine.
Apple announced the launch of the iBookstore in Japan this week, now available in a total of 51 countries. This is an important move for Apple, following the December 2012 holiday season when Google's Nexus 7 reportedly outsold Apple's iPad in Japan, lowering Apple's share of the tablet market.
At last week's event Apple announced version 3.0 of iBooks, their free ebook-reading app for iPhone and iPad, and iBooks Author, their free software for the Macintosh that lets users create multimedia, multitouch ebooks. The iBooks app adds a range of great features that many had been clamoring for. Most notably, you can now, finally, copy passages of text and share that text via email, iMessage, Facebook, or Twitter.
To call today's event, "the iPad mini event" is, in a sense, grossly inaccurate, since after all, we were introduced to a wide and varied line of truly impressive and noteworthy products. And yet, I suspect today's event is destined to go down in history first and foremost, as the day the world was introduced to the iPad mini.
Today, Apple introduced to us, the new iPad mini, the revamped 4th Generation iPad, the Mac mini, the new iMac and the new 13" Retina display MacBook. And that's just talking about the hardware! Apple also unveiled an amazing update to iBooks as well as the iBook Author app. Quite the bountiful event!
What great icing on the cake after the iPhone and iPod event of last month. First Apple introduced their latest iteration of the world's most popular smartphone which has gone on to sell in record numbers, breaking sales records set by its predecessor. Now, Apple has entreated us to an equally impressive and expansive line up of new and equally innovative and revolutionary products. Apple gave a great show today with a plethora of stunning new devices, while also demostrating their great flair for the theatrical and suspenseful that we have all come to love and perhaps, expect.
I love that quote because it reminds me that imagination and common sense are two of our most important problem solving skills. Perhaps we can use them to help resolve the issues Chelsea Clinton describes in America's Dangerous Tech Gaps?
Yesterday's blog hijacked The One Minute Manager's practice of setting One Minute Goals. Today I'm exploring how teachers might use the One Minute Praising.
Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson's story "The One Minute Manager" was first published in 1982 and is as valid today as it was 30 years ago.
The personal computer was supposed to eliminate the use of paper for such things as assignments and syllabi but we use 50% more paper today than we did in 1980. Each American consumes about six trees per year (The Economist online).

Paducah's Finest Public Golfing Destination
Nice, gently rolling championship golf course with 2 large lakes providing water on 5 holes and the ultimate in high quality greens--Champion ultradwarf bermuda, which is replacing bentgrass in the South on many courses that desire bentgrass quality putting surfaces and bermuda heat tolerance. The ball rolls true and fast on Champion, just like excellent bentgrass greens. Tee boxes are zoysia and bermuda and we have 4 sets of tees on each hole. Fairways are Bermuda grass. George Davies, born in the British Isles not so many miles from the cradle of the game of golf itself, was the architect who laid out the original design of Paxton Park and supervised its building way back in 1939 and 1940. The course has had several significant renovations since that time but much of the original design is still intact.
This course hosts two large regional events each year featuring professionals and amateurs alike. The Pepsi Paducah Bank Irvin Cobb Golf Championship is held here each year in July and is considered the top local golf tournament in the four state regional area. The Texas Roadhouse/Credit Bureau Systems Tri-States Senior Golf Championships are held here each year in September and is considered one of the premier senior golf events in our area. The Banterra Bank Greater Paducah Area Amateur Golf Championships are held in August each year. PGA Champions Tour Players Russ Cochran and Player Kenny Perry grew up playing this course and come back each year to help host the Charity Benefit Tournament which raises money for continued renovation efforts at this fine 65 year old facility and junior golf, including local high school golf programs. The facility has hosted other championship events such as Kentucky Open qualifying (2011, 2013), KHSAA Regional Championships (2010 and 2012), host site for the annual Pepsi Junior Tour western Kentucky golf swing (2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013), and US Junior Tour events (2012 and 2013). We will also host the KGA Western Kentucky Junior Golf Championship in 2013 and 2014.

I'm not actually sure what PS4 games I'll want. I already got Contrast. (It turned out to not live up to my expectations.)
I'm just going to sit here in the grump corner and be upset that it has no backwards compatibility.
I just got a PS3 before the announcement of the PS4
oh no it makes sense, i'm just mad about the timing of it all really. Also that I just... hate the fact that I'll have to use two different consoles by the same company for different games. Drives me nuts (and don't try and be smart by bringing up the PSP/Vita you all know what I mean)
The Vita is actually more backwards compatible... you just have to buy your games again if you didn't buy digitally.
Handheld gaming is not really Sony's strong suit from an execution perspective. The handhelds themselves are real nice, though.
mother of god...
I am debating whether I should get a Vita. I can get the system for free with some reward points I have accrued. (other systems are also options too) But I still have to pay for games and the battery life on it doesn't really thrill me. (which is why the Vita TV looks pretty cool, no battery hassle. It's not portable anymore, but poor battery life stops portability from being that great anyway.)

It costs me about 23k per year, before scholarships and that. I also live at home, so I don't have to worry about room and board.
However, textbook costs being about 1000 a semester is still pretty sucky. Talk about a racket.
Textbooks are a *****. I don't even really need half of mine, this is why I'm never going to buy them until halfway into the class to see if I really need them or not.

Full-field digital mammography
As Trex Medical Corporation (Danbury, CT) awaits FDA clearance for its full-field digital mammography (FFDM) device, the company predicts that this technology will someday replace film-based mammography as the gold standard for breast cancer detection. Until that day arrives, FFDM will most likely be used side-by-side with conventional mammography when it becomes available sometime in 1999.
Clinical trial evaluated more than 500 cases and 4000 images
Today, film-screen mammography has about 85% sensitivity, and two-thirds of missed cancers are occult, said Melinda J. Staiger, MD, director of breast imaging at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center (West lslip, Long Island, NY). Dr. Staiger's institution was one of three centers that conducted comparative studies demonstrating that FFDM is clinically equivalent to film-screen mammography, a requirement for FFDM to be granted 510(k) market clearance by the FDA. The trial collected data from more than 500 cases and more than 4000 images.
"The digital mammograms I've seen preserve beautiful definition of the external tissues, the skin, and the subcutaneous tissues we frequently sacrifice in our [film-screen] techniques in order to penetrate through very dense breast tissue," said Dr. Staiger.
"There's the possibility that digital mammography ultimately will outperform film-screen mammography, but in the near term, it's relatively simple to show they are equivalent," said Laurie L. Fajardo, MD, professor of radiology and vice chair of research at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center (Charlottesville, VA). "In the limited scope of this study, the imaging of patients who have particularly dense breasts appears to be superior on digital systems because signal-to-noise can be enhanced better than with film-screen images," said Dr. Fajardo. "I believe that if digital mammography does become widespread at some point in the future, we will begin to appreciate earlier diagnosis and less misdiagnosis with mammography, particularly in the radio-dense patient population and the younger patient population," she added.
"Greatest potential impact on management of breast cancer"
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1991 identified digital mammography as "the most fertile territory for major advances in x-ray detection and diagnosis of minimal breast cancers." The NCI also predicted that digital mammography is "the evolving technology with the greatest potential impact on management of breast cancer." The technologic challenge for FFDM is to provide high-resolution, high-contrast images with the lowest possible radiation dose to the patient.
Postprocessing: contrast enhancement, computer-aided diagnosis, tomography, and 3D
Digital mammography can provide more consistency than film, the quality of which depends not only on image acquisition but on chemical processing. In addition, FFDM features the potential of postprocessing techniques to amplify subtle contrast differences in suspicious regions of the breast tissue.
During clinical trials to evaluate FFDM, the ability to manipulate mammographic images on the computer screen was a novelty, noted Dr. Staiger. In the real world of clinical practice, though, "we would fiddle around with contrast only for problem cases," she said. For the average patient, it should only take about 1 minute to read a mammogram, she explained, so it would not make sense to take 5 minutes perfecting the contrast resolution for each case.
Computer-aided diagnosis may also be possible with FFDM, serving almost as a "second reader." The computer, for example, may automatically draw a border around areas of abnormal contrast, calling the radiologist's attention to suspicious regions. This technology might be useful, for instance, in cases where the radiologist is "seduced" by obvious findings. "Sometimes big lesions can be missed when the focus is on looking for very small lesions," noted Dr. Staiger. In the future, image reconstruction techniques with FFDM may eventually offer tomographic or three-dimensional breast images.
There may be up to l000 patterns of a normal breast, noted Dr. Staiger, which makes breast imaging a different type of challenge than imaging the brain, liver, lungs, heart, or other organs. Once FFDM becomes available, mammographers will need to develop algorithms for obtaining good images from dense breasts, fatty breasts, and breasts with microcalcifications, she added.
"My impressions, my intuition, from what I've seen so far, is that it's going to bring a lot of cancers to light in the mammogram that might have been missed before," said Lawrence W. Bassett, MD, FACR, professor of breast imaging at the Iris Cantor Center for Breast Imaging, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine. "Although we thought it was going to be difficult to use a larger image receptor, the technologist adapted to it quite readily and, in fact, found it was no more difficult to position than our conventional mammograms were," Dr. Bassett added.
Siemens Opdima® provides digital spot imaging today as company plans for FFDM future
Siemens Medical Systems, Inc. (Iselin, NJ) offers the Opdima®, a mammography digital spot imaging system for use with its MAMMOMAT® 3000 upright mammography unit. Radiologists and mammographers don't have to wait for the future to take advantage of digital imaging, according to Maria Di Palermo, mammography product manager at Siemens. When film mammogram results prompt radiologists to request additional spot views, they can do them with the Opdima system and take advantage of postprocessing techniques for magnification, contrast enhancement (window, level, and filters), and measurements of small calcifications.
Opdima technology is based on a large-area spot charge-coupled device (CCD) incorporated in a slim cassette that fits into the standard object table of the MAMMOMAT 3000. "The digital spot camera is wafer-thin, and fits in the same bucky as a film cassette. Technologists can switch back and forth from film to digital spot imaging with no trouble," said Ms. Di Palermo. "We have the largest field of view available today for digital spot imaging, 49 ¥ 85 mm," she added.
The Opdima represents the first time that Siemens is offering a digital imaging system that can be used in mammography for nonstereotactic applications. "We anticipate that this will become an important tool for evaluation of suspected areas, and for presurgical needle localization," said Ms. Di Palermo. Opdima is available and deliverable in the United States and worldwide.
In addition, the company will probably have its investigational full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system in clinical sites next year for beta testing. There are many technical aspects of FFDM that are still a challenge, noted Ms. Di Palermo. "Each FFDM image is about 40 megabytes, so it takes a very sophisticated computer system to handle the typical four views taken of one patient," she explained. Mammographers will probably want the capability to compare studies with baseline mammograms on the monitor, she added.
Kodak signs 3-year agreement to provide mammography film to Tenet Healthcare
Eastman Kodak Company (Rochester, NY) has a 3-year agreement to be the sole supplier of mammography film products to Tenet Healthcare Corporation, which owns 124 acute-care hospitals in 18 states. Tenet also operates a group purchasing organization, BuyPower, which serves Tenet hospitals as well as 2000 independent facilities.
Kodak agrees in August to acquire Imation
In August, Kodak agreed to acquire most of Imation Corp's worldwide medical imaging business, including its DryView™ laser imaging business. The terms call for Kodak to pay Imation $520 million in cash at closing. This acquisition will enable Kodak to provide a broader portfolio of products worldwide, said the company.
SNM 1998: Advances in cardiovascular imaging and oncology
With new peptide and antibody radiopharmaceuticals on the horizon, The Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) held its 45th Annual Meeting June 7-11, 1998, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Advances in oncology were focused on the expanding use of positron emission tomography (PET) with fluorine-18 [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Nuclear cardiology is compiling huge databases from thousands of patients-proving the effectiveness of myocardial perfusion studies in determining which patients to discharge from the emergency room and in predicting the risk of future cardiac events.
99mTc-labeled peptide detects deep-vein thrombi
With a new radiopharmaceutical now under FDA review, physicians can quickly differentiate between an active blood clot in the leg, which poses life-threatening risk to the patient, and other types of circulatory problems that are far less dangerous-and which require very different medical treatments. Technetium-99m [99mTc] apcitide (Acutect®, Diatide) is a radiolabeled peptide that targets receptors on the cell surface of platelets that have become activated in the blood-clotting process.
Nycomed Amersham to market/sell apcitide
Apcitide was developed by Diatide, Inc. (Londonderry, NH), a company that specializes in radiolabeled peptides. Nycomed Amersham (Princeton, NJ) will handle the marketing and sales of 99mTc apcitide. In medical journal papers, apcitide is sometimes called "P280."
"P280 has been shown in Phase III multicenter clinical trials to have a relatively high diagnostic accuracy for deep-vein thrombosis. We are planning to use it to distinguish between recurrent deep-vein thrombosis and postphlebitic syndrome, which is inflammation of the vein," said Raymond Taillefer, MD, director of the Nuclear Medicine Department at Hospital Hôtel-Dieu de Montreal (Québéc, Canada). "It is important to make this distinction because deep-vein thrombosis is treated with anticoagulants, whereas postphlebitic syndrome is treated with other types of drugs," said Dr. Taillefer, who participated in clinical trials for apcitide.
About 70% of patients with deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) are asymptomatic. Furthermore, the signs and symptoms of DVT can be nonspecific. Among patients who show typical symptoms-such as leg swelling, warmth, calf pain and tenderness-only 30 to 40% actually have DVT. It is important, therefore, to have an objective test that clearly identifies acute DVT.
Differentiating acute from chronic DVT
If a blood clot is actively forming (acute thrombus), the patient usually requires treatment with an anticoagulant, such as heparin. The typical protocol is to hospitalize the patient for several days to administer intravenous heparin, followed by 3 months of oral anticoagulants. On the other hand, if the blood clot is a chronic thrombus that has already stabilized, the risk of embolism is much lower, and the patient may not require anticoagulants.
Some patients may undergo unnecessary anticoagulant therapy, just to be on the safe side and prevent a possible pulmonary embolism, because their physicians are not sure whether the thrombus is active or chronic. Besides the cost of the hospitalization and medication, anticoagulant therapy poses certain risks, such as gastrointestinal tract bleeding or platelet abnormalities. Therefore, any test that helps patients avoid unnecessary use of anticoagulants would be clinically valuable.
Acute DVT may lead to pulmonary embolism
The most dangerous, potentially fatal consequence of DVT is a possible pulmonary embolism. In the United States, an estimated 5 million patients experience one or more episodes of DVT each year, leading to 500,000 annual cases of pulmonary embolism, resulting in 100,000 deaths per year.
"The advantage of apcitide is that we are actually looking at active blood clotting with physiologic nuclear medicine images. With anatomic images, provided by ultrasound and contrast x-ray venography, we can see an anatomic abnormality that may or may not be an active thrombus," said Robert F. Carretta, MD, director of the Nuclear Medicine Department at Sutter Roseville Medical Center (Roseville, CA).
"Another advantage of apcitide is that we can image the patient shortly after injection and get the report to the referring physician very quickly. It will not replace ultrasound, which is an excellent screening procedure. But ultrasound has its limitations in the calf veins, and often does not detect acute deep-vein thrombosis below the knee," said Dr. Carretta, who also participated in apcitide clinical trials.
Therapeutic antibody for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
A monoclonal antibody labeled with iodine-131 [131I] is being evaluated by Coulter Pharmaceutical (Palo Alto, CA) as a therapeutic agent for low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The anti-B1 antibody targets the CD20 B-lymphocyte antigen found on non-Hodgkin's B-cells, as well as on some normal B-cells. The unlabeled anti-B1 antibody and the 131I each have separate therapeutic effects on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma B-cells.
During the first stage of treatment (dosimetric dose), two doses are administered intravenously: a 60-minute infusion of unlabeled antibody followed by a separate 20-minute infusion of 5 mCi of 131I-labeled antibody. Over the next few days, gamma camera scans determine the 131I residence time, used to calculate the patient-specific therapeutic dose, which is also administered in separate "hot" and "cold" infusions. Patients are given oral iodine supplements to block thyroid uptake of 131I.
Two Phase I/II clinical trials with 131I-anti-B1 antibody have been completed. According to Coulter, in one trial of patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 42 of 59 patients (71%) achieved either a complete or partial response (defined as 350% reduction in all measurable lesions with no new lesions). In the other trial, 14 of 45 patients (31%) achieved complete response and 13 patients (29%) achieved partial response. Side effects included a transient flu-like syndrome and bone-marrow suppression.
A Phase III trial is now underway.
PET predicts success of chemotherapy in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
In another application of nuclear medicine for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, early evaluation with FDG-PET, after two or three cycles of chemotherapy, may help to predict which patients will succeed with the treatment (Abstract No. 580). [Abstracts are published in the supplement to the May 1998 issue of J Nucl Med.]
In a study of 20 patients, seven patients had abnormal PET scans early in the course of chemotherapy: four did not achieve complete remission and showed signs of disease recurrence within 4 to 15 months of diagnosis; two achieved complete remission, but relapsed at 12 and 20 months; and one remained in complete remission for 30 months. Five of these patients died. Of the 13 patients who had normal FDG-PET scans, eleven remained in complete remission for up to 36 months after diagnosis; two relapsed (at 6 and 14 months) and died of Iymphoma. "Patients with early response to chemotherapy [indicated by a normal FDG PET scan after 2 or 3 cycles of chemotherapy] have a high probability of progression-free survival," said Pierre M. Rigo, MD, professor and director of the Nuclear Medicine Division at University Hospital (Liège, Belgium).
Octreotide scan improves staging of Hodgkin's disease
A prospective study of 126 patients previously untreated for Hodgkin's disease found that nuclear medicine imaging with indium-111 [111In] octreotide (OctreoScan®, Mallinckrodt) detected disseminated disease (Stage III or IV, spread to organs or in lymph nodes at both sides of the diaphragm) in a significant proportion of patients who had been classified as Stage I or II (disease confined to lymph nodes at one side of the diaphragm) by standard staging techniques (Abstract No. 147). In some cases, these newly detected lesions were outside the subtotal nodal irradiation field, which is the standard treatment for Hodgkin's disease patients with a favorable prognosis. "These patients have a high probability of relapse," said Elly Lugtenburg, MD, of the Department of Hematology, University Hospital Rotterdam (The Netherlands). Instead of radiotherapy aimed at the diseased lymph node, patients who are actually at Stage III or IV should be treated with chemotherapy.
FDG-PET detects colorectal cancer recurrence in patients with normal CEA levels
Results of one study may cause some oncologists to reassess the value of tumor markers as a screening test for recurrent colorectal cancer (Abstract No. 531). In a study of 45 patients, whole-body FDG-PET correctly identified lesions in 16 of 17 (94%) patients with normal CEA and CA 19-9 levels. In addition, FDG-PET correctly diagnosed up to 95% of lesions in patients with elevated CEA and CA 19-9 levels. Typically, a rise in plasma levels of tumor markers is one reason to refer a patient to FDG-PET scanning for identifying recurrent colorectal cancer.
"Our data indicate that normal tumor marker levels do not exclude the presence of malignant tissue," said Hans Bender, MD, associate professor of nuclear medicine at the University of Bonn (Germany). "If there are any other indications of tumor recurrence, such as lesions detected by CT or ultrasound, pain reported by the patient, etc., I would recommend whole-body FDG-PET independent of CFA or CA 19-9 levels," said Dr. Bender. High glucose uptake with FDG is typical of tumor recurrence, he explained, whereas lack of glucose uptake would indicate scar tissue. However, it is too early to recommend that FDG-PET replace tumor markers as a screening method. Dr. Bender said he would like to see this question addressed in a future prospective study with a much larger patient population.
FDG-PET for staging head and neck cancer
For patients with squamous-cell cancer of the head and neck, PDG-PET may be more accurate than other imaging tests, and can help steer patients toward the most appropriate treatment.
One study of 51 patients, conducted at the Northern California PET Imaging Center and several California medical centers, found that PET was more accurate than x-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) for the diagnosis of local and regional recurrence of disease (Abstract No. 479). In addition, PET commonly detected unsuspected distant disease. "Pretreatment imaging with FDG-PET avoids the morbidity and cost of attempted curative surgery or radiotherapy in patients with undiagnosed distant recurrences," said Elma Abella-Columna, MD, a clinical fellow at the Northern California PET Imaging Center (Sacramento). "These patients may be candidates for chemotherapy," she added.
In the second study of 44 patients, presented by researchers from the Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center (Missouri) sequential FDG-PET (obtained at 2 and 10 months after therapy) was evaluated for detection of recurrent head and neck cancer (Abstract No. 478). "More accurate detection of recurrence may provide ways of improving survival," said Val J. Lowe, MD, director of PET at Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center. His group found that "PET can detect head-and-neck tumor recurrence when it may be undetectable by other clinical methods."
Nuclear cardiology: Cost-effective in ER patients with chest pain
A study reported that using nuclear cardiology tests in a dedicated chest-pain center to treat emergency patients reduced the yearly rate of myocardial infarction (MI) from 1.8% to 0.1% in outpatients discharged with a principal diagnosis of nonspecific chest pain. Results of this 2-year study of 6,548 patients were presented by investigators from The Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute and Baptist Hospital (Miami, FL) and Emory University School of Medicine (Atlanta) (Abstract No. 541).
The cost per diagnosis (of nonspecific chest pain) was $606 prior to adding nuclear cardiology-specifically, myocardial perfusion imaging with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-to the protocol. With SPECT in the protocol, the cost of this diagnosis increased to $1,676. The total cost of SPECT in this patient population, divided by the number of additional MIs detected-preventing those patients from being sent home with a hidden heart attack-was $59,400. However, when factoring in the cost of missing an MI, estimated at $50,000, the cost of SPECT per additional MI detected was only $9,400.
"With a minimum estimated likelihood of mortality from missed MI of 16%, the maximum cost to save a life is only $59,000," noted Jack A. Ziffer, MD, PhD, director of the Cardiac Imaging Institute. "In this year of constrained resources, nuclear cardiology can play a central role in improving patient outcomes, and do it cost-effectively, in the clinical pathways of acute ischemic heart disease," he added.

Recipe by KATHYSH2000
"Fresh zucchini baked into a wonderful tasting cornbread. It goes great with other fresh vegetables from your garden."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
This was so moist and not what I expected. I had lots of fresh green beans and tomatoes from my garden and this was a perfect cornbread to go with them.
Found it lacking in flavor and didn't feel the zucchini added much. Texture came out a bit too moist (top was well browned and toothpick came out clean so it was cooked as near to perfection as possible--maybe an oven issue). Sugar could have been doubled for our taste.
7 Ratings
This was pretty good, although mine was not moist it was fairly dry. I used 2 cups of zucchini because that's what I had frozen. Don't keep self-rising anything on hand, so I added 1 tsp baking powder and another 1/4 tsp of salt and it worked fine. Next time I would increase the sugar to about 1/4 cup because I prefer my cornbread a little on the sweet side. The cottage cheese gave it a very different flavor.
We really liked this cornbread. It was a great side with our tortellini soup. I have never seen self rising cornmeal in California, so used regular and added baking powder and soda. I added a bitmore sugar and green onions were all I had, so used those instead. They worked and made the flavor yummy. I will make this again.
A pan of deliciousness. The zucchini and onion kept it moist. I added a bit of garlic and the salt I used had a bit of chili in it. This is my new go to recipe
Very good. Excellant way to use up those big zucchini that get away from you!! Tasty and moist. Will be doing this again. I didn't have the self rising corn meal or flour so added some baking powder and a little extra salt. I used 2 eggs from my chickens but had a two yolk egg so it added a little more to richness of the corn bread. This is not your usual corn bread. Mine was very dense but flavorful. Not dry at all.

Top 10 Reasons to Move Your Data Out of the Closet (part 2 of 2)
By Carpathia Hosting on Dec 10, 2009.
A major advantage of colocation is that the business using the service still owns all of its own infrastructure if it so chooses, which ultimately keeps that business owner in charge, regardless of where the server is kept. For instance, if the business wants to install their own network attached storage (NAS) device to backup one or more server's data, they can do so. If a firewall and router hardware needs to be installed, it can be done. If they want to set up a virtual local area network (VLAN) so that traffic between machines is faster,they can.
Top 10 Reasons to Move Your Data Out of the Closet (Part 1 of 2)
By Carpathia Hosting on Dec 08, 2009.
A major benefit involved with colocation is the convenience of not having to hire and maintain an on-site IT staff, alleviating concerns and allowing more time for business owners and managers to focus on running their business. Additionally, this practice frees up capital that would have be spent on hiring and maintaining an IT department.

Air filters on HVAC systems: this article series answers almost any question you might ask about air filters for central heating or air conditioning systems. We explain how an air conditioning service technician will diagnose certain common air conditioning system failures or defects. In these articles we are referring to filters installed on central air conditioning or central heating systems that move air through air handlers and duct systems. Standalone or portable "air cleaners" are generally ineffective in buildings where a problem particle reservoir is present, and they are not capable of removing an indoor air quality problem. Other weak air flow problems in heating and cooling systems are discussed at AIR FLOW WEAK or TOO WARM. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Air Conditioner, Heat Pump, or Furnace Air Filter Location, Condition, Problems, RepairsReaders should also see Air Filter Effectiveness and Real-World Effectiveness of Air Cleaners in our INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT GUIDE article series. First locate and document the placement of the HVAC system air filters - for examination and regular changing during the cooling season. In our photo at left you can see a blue and white electrostatic air cleaner on the air handler. But notice at the upper left of the photo just below the brown metal of the air handler body: see that silver sheet metal handle? Removing the two screws on either end of the pull-out will permit you to expose another air filter that is in this location - the handle is a tip-off that the air handler is meant to be opened at this location in order to remove/replace an air filter. Are these the only two air filters on this system? Nope. Our discussion of cascaded air filters found at AIR FILTERS, OPTIMUM INDOOR includes photos of a front-end air filter found at the return air register. In sum, finding a filter on a duct system or air handler is no promise that it's the only air filter installed. Inspect the system thoroughly. If more than one air filter is provided, document the location of all of the filters installed. Next inspect the air conditioning filter type and condition. What about filters that are missing completely or are very dirty? What problems can a dirty or blocked air conditioner filter cause for the air conditioning system and how do we fix these snafus? That's what we'll cover in this article. Air conditioner filter location: filters should be readily accessibleAfter reading the text just below, if you still cannot find your heating or air conditioning system air filter read our detailed instructions on how to find air filters in our article: Air Filter Location. Just below we summarize some common locations where air filters are found.
Change your air filters every month when the air conditioning system is in operation. Make sure you find all of the filters as some systems have multiple filters and even multiple types of filters installed, such as a fiberglass or pleated paper filter, a washable filter, and an electrostatic air cleaner. These last two are cleaned, not replaced, when they're dirty. Dirty Air Conditioner Filters Cause Multiple Problems for an Air Conditioning SystemSee our detailed article at Dirty Air Filter Problems. Excerpts are below. Improperly-Fit or Wrong Sized Air Filters Cause Bypass LeakageBending over the end of an air conditioner or heating air handler filter such as shown in the photo at left above is a bad idea. If the filter does not fit there will be bypass leakage past the filter, soiling the blower fan, slowing air flow, and leading to more costly cleaning and service later. Furthermore when you bend the filter as this owner did, you interrupt the structural integrity of the filter's frame, risking filter collapse. A collapsed air filter can be drawn right into the blower fan, causing damage to the fan motor or even leading to a fire! The photo at right shows how a college HVAC maintenance crew kept the A/C system running when the school did not have the proper filter size in stock. This filter installation also will have severe bypass leakage around the filter where the pleated section contacts the edges of the filter slot. Installing a filter that is the wrong size for the heating or air conditioning air handler defeats the purpose of air filters because of leakage and it may be unsafe. Install a properly-sized filter in locations like this as soon as possible and watch out for unsafe filter collapsing. How to Install or Replace an Air Filter in Heating or Air Conditioning Duct Systems
Question: How do I know which way my air filter should face when it is installed?I am in the process of changing the filters in my new home for the first time - there are three located in various areas, easily accessible. I have purchased the correct sizes. Although marked by "air flow" arrows, I'm still confused as to which way they should be installed - does the "webbed grill" side face in or out? I know this may be a "no brainer" but it is a first for me and I want to make sure I place them correctly. - Beverly Upperman Reply:Think about the problem we need to avoid: if an air filter gets sucked into a duct or worse, into a blower fan assembly, it can jam the blower fan, cause a motor overheat, and even cause a fire. So we want the air filter to be placed so that its reinforced side will prevent it from being drawn into the duct or blower system. Air filters have an arrow on their edges to give us a clue about how they should be placed. Insert the air filter so that the arrow is facing in the same direction as the direction of air flow through the filter. So if you are placing a filter on an HVAC system central air return grille, air is "returning" or "entering" the grille from the building, so air is flowing from the building into the duct system at that location. So the arrow would point the same way - into the duct system. How to Construct or Obtain Large or Special-dimension HVAC System Air FiltersAir filter suppliers and manufacturers have no trouble providing air filters of special dimensions. Furthermore if the filter is built by a manufacturer it's more likely that they'll understand the structural and strength requirements of the filter as well as the required airflow characteristics and filtering ability. We list some suppliers of air filters at SOURCES FOR AIR FILTERS Incidentally, except unusual cases with special requirements, wouldn't it have made sense for the HVAC or duct system designer to have specified a filter that is one of the many standard sizes?

Things I liked:Does the job. Things I would have changed:Make it a little more sturdy and better QC in the assembly.put a moister trap on it. Better lube on the shaft. Mine was bone freshen I got it. What others should know:I should have got the Hill pump. Not sure if it's me but no matter how slow I pump or pause at top and bottom of each stroke I still get a lot of moisture. Things I liked:This makes traveling with the gun much easier Things I would have changed:It should come with adaptor ends when you spend this much then gave to buy additional parts once you tecieve it is kind of frustrating. Things I liked:The pump works well once you get it fixed. Things I would have changed:The pump needs a set screw to hold the pump in place instead of loosing. Multiple time I had the pump seperate and it would not charge the gun. I used a little locktight and a small dent in the thread to keep if from coming loose. A long hose would be a great feature. What others should know:you may need to work with it a little to get it to work well. but once it is on it works really well.

great pillow
October 24, 2012
I love this product! Pillow is very comfortable, can be inflated to desired firmness. Pillow is very lightweight and packs up very compact. Only negative is it that is very pricey. However, since I am fussy about pillows, I thought it was worth it for a good comfortable nights sleep when out on the trail .
Pros: comfortable, lightweight, Cons: expensivelight & easy
November 19, 2012
This pillow is light, easy to inflate (three breaths) and versitile with respect to comfort (vriations in height, soft fabric on one side). It's not noisy and is made to attach to an Exped air mattress, if desired. I'd say it's worth the weight.
Pros: light, easy to inflate and deflate, comfortable, quiet, Cons: a bit costlyPerfect, Perfect, Perfect
April 05, 2011
I am a middle-aged backpacker and although I try to minimize weight, I cannot sleep without a pillow. I have been waiting for the perfect backpackers' pillow and this is it. I even wrote to Therma-Rest after purchasing a NeoAir that they should make a pillow with the same technology. Well, Exped beat them to the punch. This pillow weighs just 3 ounces and is the size of a sleeve of golfballs. It only takes 2-3 puffs for inflation. Its contours cradle your head for maximum comfort. Being so small and light, it just makes sense to carry this pillow. I will skimp on weight some other place. I also use it in cars and airplanes. I have done the research and purchased most of the alternatives on the market. My recommendation is spend the money to buy this pillow. You will not be disappointed.
Pros: Great designExped Air Pillow
January 18, 2012
Outstanding product. Made very well and thoughtfully designed. The pillow deflates and folds into a stuff sack that fits in the palm of your hand. It easily inflates with 2-3 breaths. It has a large opening for rapid delfation when it is time to go. It is very comfortable with a soft fabric covering and it definately beats folding up your jacket for use as a pillow. They also include a repair kit in case your pillow somehow springs a leak. For the weight conscious back packer, the pillow, stuff sack, and repair kit all weigh in at about three ounces. This pillow may be just a little bit pricey, but you know what they say, you get what you pay for. And they are right.
Pros: design functionality, Cons: a bit priceyGreat!! small pack size
September 10, 2011
the pillow folds up into a teeny tiny stuff sack and weighs so little, i don't feel bad about bringing it on even my most minimalist journeys. it only takes a breath or two to inflate it. great!!
Pros: compact durableThe Best There Is!
August 16, 2011
Amazing shape and contour. Extremely comfortable. I love that it has a thicker side for proper neck support. My head is rather large and heavy, so having the right position to get a good nights sleep is a must. It inflates in about 2 good breaths. You can easily adjust the firmness by letting small amounts of air out of it through the special inflate valve. I love how firm you can make it as well. It has a very soft breathable material that stretches well. It weighs virtually nothing and stores to a size smaller than my fist. I will never be found in the woods without it. I love this pillow! If you are looking for the best portable pillow out there, this is it.
Ruby Red.
Available sizes, while supplies last, include size medium, size large and size extra large: m, l, xl.

By Paul Ryan | 9/26/13 11:50 AM
"The Bayhawks love playing under bridges."
Kip Turner was confused. The goalie had no clue what head coach Dave Cottle was talking about.
WATCH: Kip Turner 2013 highlights
Turner and the rest of the Bayhawks were riding the bus on their way to their semifinal playoff match-up against the Hamilton Nationals at PPL Park in Philadelphia. Sitting next to Cottle in the front row of the bus, Turner waited for the coach to explain himself.
"We're undefeated when we play under bridges."
What Cottle was referring to happened back in June. The Bayhawks traveled to Icahn Stadium to defeat the New York Lizards. Located in New York City, the stadium sits beneath the Triborough Bridge, an obscure fact the Bayhawks coach remembered nearly three months later. Driving in Philly with the stadium in the distance, Cottle noted that PPL Park sat just beneath the Commodore Barry Bridge.
Turner laughed with the rest of his teammates after Cottle explained, but the joke stayed with him the rest of the weekend. "It was such a subtle comment, but it stuck with me," Turner says. "It's just his subtle way of setting us up for success."
Success is exactly what Turner and his teammates enjoyed, as the Bayhawks won their third title in four years the next day, defeating the Charlotte Hounds 10-9. Turner was a major factor in the victory; making 14 saves on 22 shots.
"It didn't hit me until the last 45 seconds that we were going to win," Turner says. "It's such a good feeling knowing. It's like you're floating on cloud 9 for the next two hours. You don't really realize what's going on. It's just pure happiness."
Turner wasn't immediately excited after the game, however. With two seconds left, Matt Danowski fired a rocket from midfield that ricocheted off a player in front and beat Turner top corner. The two-pointer didn't affect the outcome of the game, but it still frustrated him. The reaction perfectly encapsulated Turner; a perfectionist, always playing until the last whistle. Coach Cottle agrees.
"He's a competitor and he's accountable. I like those two adjectives for him. He'll assume responsibility when it's his fault. When guys in front of him make a mistake, he encourages them and in turn, they play harder in front of him."
Destined to be a goalie
Growing up in Severna Park, Maryland, Kip Turner was the youngest of five children, the runt of the litter, or in his family, goalie. Starting when he was just five years old, Kip was always told by his older brothers, "you, goal, now." He would sit in the net while kids twice his age fired tennis balls at him.
For Christmas when he was six, Kip received a large present from his parents. It was street hockey pads, a blocker and a glove: "It was over after that." Kip officially became a goalie.
For high school, Turner attended The Severn School where he played three sports: hockey, soccer, and of course, lacrosse. Turner played goalie in both hockey and lacrosse, earning All-Conference honors and Team MVP in both sports, but he was always better at lacrosse.
In Turner's junior year, Severn found itself in a tightly contested battle with fellow powerhouse Loyola Blakefield when the ball squirted out near the top of the restraining box where Turner went to chase it. He was beaten to the ball by a "little lefty attackman that I knew was a year younger." Turner put all his weight behind him and plowed into the kid like a linebacker, knocking the attackman to the ground. The two got in each other's faces, but were separated by officials soon after. The other player's name? Ben Rubeor, future teammate at both the University of Virginia and now with the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
"I remember that incident," Rubeor says with a laugh. "Then when I went down on my official visit to Virginia, [Kip] was my host. He's certainly a fierce competitor on the field, but off the field he's one of the nicest guys, so we got along pretty well."
In his senior year of high school, Turner narrowed his college choices down to Penn State and the University of Virginia. However, Kip had made up his mind years before, declaring he would play lacrosse at UVA when he was just six years old. He followed through on that declaration, joining the Cavaliers in 2003, but what was the deciding factor for Turner at such a young age?
"It was the colors," Turner says while smiling. "I'm a big orange and blue guy. At that age, I didn't know diddly about lacrosse so it was the colors. Then when I got to the university for my official visit, I fell in love with it because of all it has to offer. It had exactly what I wanted in a university."
Turner played the backup role his freshman year, playing behind All-American and former MLL star Tillman Johnson, whom Turner proclaims "the best there ever was." Turner then took over the starting role his sophomore year, leading the Cavaliers to an NCAA title in 2006. It was just the first of many championships he would win on the big stage.
Turning Pro
After his monster 2006 collegiate season, the Boston Cannons selected Turner with the second overall pick in the draft. It was the highest a goalie had ever been picked, something Turner considered "humbling." Although, to be honest, Turner was surprised he was drafted so highly.
"I didn't know if I was going to play Major League Lacrosse at all because I didn't know if I was even going to be picked. But [Boston GM] Billy Daye called me and said, 'you're coming to Boston two overall. We want you.' I was like, 'wow, this is amazing.'"
Turner called Harvard Stadium his home for the next five seasons, a place where his great-grandfather scored the first touchdown the stadium had ever seen. A place he calls "the coolest place you could play, with an incredible atmosphere and the fans right on top of you." An organization in the Cannons he had, and still has, great respect for.
In 2010 while still playing with the Cannons, Turner took an assistant coaching job at Brown University to coach with Lars Tiffany, who was one of the main reasons Turner strongly considered Penn State (Tiffany was an assistant at PSU at the time). Coaching has proved to be difficult for Turner, but extremely rewarding. The job has helped him become better as a pro and allows him to teach the sport that he loves.
"Being an MLL player, it's almost like going to school and getting your master's in lacrosse," Turner says. "That's what I equate it to, because I'm learning stuff from players and coaches that I can apply to my job at Brown. It also helps with recruiting because kids know that you're still playing."
But it wasn't all peaches and cream for Turner in Beantown. In 2011, Turner was being outplayed by newcomer Jordan Burke, and lost his starting job. Turner did his best to support Burke in spite of him taking his starting gig. "Jordan's very talented, a very good goalie and a good guy. I just wanted to be a good teammate for him."
The Cannons went on to win the MLL title that year with Turner as the backup. It was the first title for both Turner and the Cannons, who had "both gotten the monkey off our back." But for Turner, it brought on an offseason of uncertainty, where he began to question his future in Major League Lacrosse.
"After the championship, it was two months of 'what am I going to do next? Should I just retire? This coaching thing is pretty tough.' I had just moved to the Boston area, to Providence for my job at Brown. It was tough."
But the then 26-year-old Turner decided to stick it out for a bit. Later that offseason, he found himself at a recruiting event down in Maryland with Cottle. Major League Lacrosse was expanding in the 2011-12 offseason, and with the expansion came a supplemental draft. Cottle told Turner he was likely going to pick him up in the draft, but again, doubt crept into Turner's mind.
"My first thought when he told me that was, 'am I even going to play? I don't know if I'm that good anymore.' I called coach Cottle and he said, 'hey, you're going to have to earn it, but we want you as our starter.' After that, I was like, 'alright, I'm in.'"
It was right place, right time for the goalie that can often say the same about his positioning. He was back in a starting role, and boy did it show. Turner led the league in goals against average in 2012, posting a 7-4 record to go along with it. In the playoffs, he became nearly unbeatable. His unreal 7.56 goals against average and incredible .634 save percentage led to his first MLL title as a starter, also earning him the nickname Mr. August. Not only was winning the championship a great accomplishment for Turner, but whom the Bayhawks beat on the way to that championship made it even more enjoyable.
"Even though I have a lot of friends on that team, it was sweet beating Boston in the semifinals. It was extra sweet for me. 2012 was a bit of a revenge title. I wanted to win one for the Bayhawks, but I also wanted to win one for me."
USA dreams
So what's next for Turner? He's accomplished nearly everything one can in the sport of lacrosse. National Championships, MLL titles, personal accolades, but there's something missing; an appearance for Team USA.
Turner caught his first glimpse of USA lacrosse when he was just eight years old. The youngin handed out fliers outside his neighborhood store Behind the Back for a free ticket. Next year, it may be an eight-year-old handing out fliers to see Kip Turner play for Team USA.
"That's the dream of dreams if you will," Turner says of making Team USA. "For me, there couldn't be a better finish to the last couple of years than that. And it's not just making the team, but winning the gold. That's the ultimate goal."
But for now, Turner will continue his assistant coaching job at Brown, enjoy the offseason and wait until next year to try and go back-to-back-to-back with the Bayhawks. Right now, he's just happy to still be playing the sport that he loves, and to be performing for fans that appreciate him so much.
"We get to do what we love and have great fans come and watch us. It's a pretty special thing what we have with our fans. [The MLL] is not about getting paid, it's about relishing the moment of playing in front of these fans. It's so cool to give back."
