Each year, thousands of cancer patients choose proton treatment for its efficacy, its low risk of side effects, and for the patient's preserved quality of life during treatment and for years to come.
Here's why:
Proton radiation therapy targets cancer more accurately. Unlike traditional X-rays, protons can be directed to reach only the areas of the body affected by cancer. As a result, normal, healthy tissue receives less exposure to radiation treatment, reducing the risk of complications. Fewer treatment complications may enable our physicians to deliver higher doses of radiation to the tumor. And this increased dose of proton radiation may improve a patient's chance for a successful outcome.
Many patients who have chosen proton therapy for cancer treatment report that the treatment presents few interruptions to normal daily activity. In fact, many proton treatment patients continue to work, enjoy time with family, and participate in favorite activities while undergoing cancer treatment at University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute.
Proton therapy for cancer treatment has been available at clinical centers in the United States since 1991. Since then, research teams have explored the benefits of using proton therapy to treat prostate cancer – as well as cancers in locations near other sensitive or vital structures. With proton treatment for prostate cancer, less radiation goes to the rectum, bladder and other pelvic tissues. The same theory works with cancers of the head and neck, the pancreas, the lung, Hodgkin lymphoma and cancers in children; more radiation reaches the cancer, and less reaches nearby healthy tissue.
To find out if proton treatment is right for you, or to compare proton therapy with other types of cancer treatment and radiation therapy, contact us today.
Protons are the positively charged parts of an atom. A natural phenomenon in the way that protons move and release their energy − called the Bragg peak − is what makes protons optimal for use in radiation treatment for many kinds of cancer. The Bragg peak is the burst of energy released by protons when they reach the end of their path in the body, presumably at the site of a tumor. In proton therapy, the Bragg peak can be placed at any depth in the tissue, according to the depth of the tumor.
Figure 1: The path of a single proton as it enters the body and deposits the vast majority of its energy at a single point. This phenomenon is referred to as the Bragg peak. Oncologists are able to manipulate the depth at which this takes place by controlling the speed of the proton. In addition, it is possible to "stack" protons in layers to cover an area in which a tumor is growing, thereby concentrating the radiation directly at the tumor site, with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue (See Figure 2).
Figure 2: A comparison of the amount of radiation delivered with conventional (high energy X-rays) radiation therapy versus proton therapy. Conventional therapy is distinguished by a relatively high entrance dose and exit dose. By contrast, proton therapy has a much lower entrance dose and no exit dose. The goal in radiation therapy is to minimize damage to healthy tissue by minimizing the tissue exposed in the entrance and exit doses. Proton therapy causes less damage to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The state's biggest challenge, pension reform, now lies in the hands of the next General Assembly.
The Speaker of the House officially adjourned the legislative session Tuesday evening, without ever calling the pension reform bill to the floor.
That means the new General Assembly will take it up after being sworn in Wednesday.
However, the pension issue didn't go completely untouched.
Governor Quinn proposed a plan Tuesday that would create an eight-person "review" commission to help "fix" the latest pension proposal.
That's instead of the General Assembly taking a vote on it Tuesday night or Wednesday.
However, that amendment died on the House floor as the house adjourned.
Quinn says getting Illinois back into shape is still his top priority, although that doesn't come without its fair share of doubt.
"The real disgrace around here is that we haven't got this pension bill passed," said State Rep. David Leitch, (R-73rd District). "I find that just outrageous. I can't, for the life of me, full understand why."
"Our economy. That's what's being held hostage, the Illinois economy," said Governor Pat Quinn, (D). "The jobs that people depend on to raise their families, their livelihoods. That's being held hostage by political timidity. People have to, in the legislature, understand that the jobs of the people of Illinois are our number one priority."
The 98th General Assembly is set to be sworn in Wednesday at noon.

I have purchased the Nokia N8 device on 27-10-2010, after I used this device I found some weak point of this device as below :
1. From time and time the device being Freezing or hanging, so you should force turn off by pressing and hold for 10 second the power button.
2. When you recording the video the flash light is not working.
Please anyone who have good experience about Nokia N series please feed me back about these problem.
Note : The hanging process is major weak issue for Nokia N8.
Solved! Go to Solution.
17-12-2010 19:01
You should contact your local Nokia Care Point about the hanging and freezing. Your phone could be one of a small percentage of early units with a hardware fault.
The xenon flash cannot be used for videos unlike the led flashes.
21-12-2010 9:50
It's mean I should replace my device to the store when I purchased this device?

now on my third n8 in 3 weeks .Each phone has frozen ,switched itself off or gone blank , was looking forward to owning this new nokia as i have had many nokias before.Will be getting something else sony x10 maybe NO MORE NOKIAS!!!!!! gutted as a very good camera and video when it works.
23-02-2011 0:48
Unfortunatly this is abit of an issue with the N8. I work in phones,and its been pretty much 50-50 with our N8's...either they work fantastic or they lag. I can understand how people could hate this phone after being onto thier 2nd,3rd ect...for those of us whose phones are working great however, we would never change
23-02-2011 8:28
Apart from daily random spontaneous reboots (sometimes several times per day) I'd say my N8 has been surprisingly stable, especially after the PR1.1.
But these random reboots makes the phone unusable for business. You can't be taking the phone out from the case every few minutes to check that it is still on and not waiting for the lock code to be entered.
Trying to switch from an iPhone 3GS to the N8 has so far been an interesting exercise, a bit like running a marathon with sand paper in your shoes. The day Nokia understands that the UI user experience and software quality is just as important as superior hardware, that is when they will be regaining lost market share. It won't do to release a phone with a flaky OS and a half-baked UI. The best camera phone on the market will still fail if users is dissatisfied with the rest of the phone.
02-03-2011 5:01
I am no longer using the N8 but instead just keeping it on standby at home. After removing the lock code the phone completes restart on its own. About twice or thrice daily I hear the bootup chime from the phone as it is sitting there on the table by itself...
10-05-2011 14:26
Dear All,
After my phone get update to PR 1.1 & then PR 1.2 the freezing or hangging has been gone.
10-05-2011 17:30
I have 014.002 installed for a couple of weeks and still suffer frequent random freezes, with the screen going white and then the Nokia handshake appearing (but I don't have to put in my SIM code as I do when I switch the phone off and on).
Yesterday I was attempting to shoot a video story and the N8 froze on at least every other attempt to make a video; it was so frustrating I had to keep from chucking the thing in the lake!
Sometimes it freezes while shooting a still photo, other times while attempting to browse the web, sometimes in the middle of writing an email or even entering contact information.
I'd estimate that if I use the phone for an hour, I'll have between 6 and 15 freezes.
17-05-2011 17:02
The problem continues ... it was ameliorated slightly by removing geotagging from the camera and video camera, but even sitting beside a wireless router, the N8 continues to crash when scrolling through RSS internet pages.
What should I do? Return the phone?
20-05-2011 17:32 - edited 20-05-2011 17:34
So, I've now had the phone for a month, and it continues to frustrate.
Yesterday it would reboot whenever I opened a web page. Today it reboots when I try to change tone profile settings.
It would help to know whether this is a hardware problem or a software problem ...
I would appreciate some advice or does no one read these posts?
20-05-2011 18:44
It sounds like you have a faulty phone by what you say.
Do a full back to mem card than pay a visit to an NCC.
Chances are it will eventually power down for good and not restart.
It may have to be swapped out or replaced.
06-06-2011 18:47
I've had the phone a little over six weeks now.
As a professional, I bought it for photo/video work: it's brilliant, but I have to give it a DO NOT BUY rating because of the freezing/hanging/crashing/resets.
Sometimes it's every attempt at writing an email; sometimes every photo viewed; sometimes it'll go a day with only five or six crashes, then next morning every app or some of them crash every time or every other time. It's random but maddening.
Only problem with returning it is I bought it from Dell USA in the U.S., but live in Canada and would have to engage in "cross-border shipping" to get it back to them. And the unlocked version (essential for travel to certain countries, to use local SIMs) is unavailable in the Frozen North.
I had expected better. GRRRR.

Nokia doesn't have an international warranty, I've learned ... Apple does for the iPhone 4.
Good as the N8's camera is, the lack of international warranty alone — if publicized — would be a deal-breaker for most informed consumers, given the percentage of defective product that is reported to be shipped.
08-06-2011 20:40 - edited 08-06-2011 21:22
Hi PHM1. Sure feel sorry for you in your predicament. I like your point about the International warranty. The only good thing that'll come of it is that'll further dent Nokia's reputation in the US. It's as though Nokia is a silent company with no one to deal with things when they go wrong.
09-06-2011 23:30
Yes, an international warranty is de rigeur these days. By definition, a "mobile" phone goes with mobile people, who may cross borders! Not having it is another black eye for Nokia, which the company hardly needs (yesterday, its technology chief quit: http://nyti.ms/iL00uH – reportedly because the company's abandoning the Symbian platform).
My defective N8's crashes continue today, with the scariest one yet:
The screen went entirely black with only the battery/connection manager visible in the top right. No combination of clicks, taps or swipes would get a homepage back. Finally something gave me a window that offered a series of choices that didn't do anything, except for one that said "Turn off phone."
With some trepidation, I chose that choice.
Luckily, when I turned it back on a minute later, the home pages and functionality returned.
But as you can see, this is all crazy-making. DO NOT BUY, Mr. Elop. I wonder if he's rethinking his move. (And as a Canadian, he should be instituting an international warranty posthaste!!!)
09-06-2011 23:33
Just talked to a "supervisor" in Nokia USA's repair department.
Have to send the phone to Texas. That, eventually, seems not to be a problem.
But they'll ship it only to a U.S. address ... and that means I'll have a private forwarder send it back to Canada, and get slammed with possibly hundreds of $$$ in duty; all they'd need to do is ship it to my address clearly labelled REPAIRED ITEM and it would avoid that.
It would not have been a difficult work-around to regain a modicum of customer goodwill.
Despite my explanation, the sincere-sounding young man said he had to "follow procedure." Interestingly (to me), he had never heard of the Nuremberg Trials and the inadequacy of the "just following orders" defence.
Why, Mr. Elop, when you're aware of the unconscionably high proportion of defective N8s leaving your plants (you are aware, aren't you?), do you not institute an international warranty immediately?
13-06-2011 18:37
Are you frustrated with your Nokia phone?

OH really , Samsung is the worst company I have ever met,and i had 4 or more good only for trash after few months and because one object is faulty doesnt mean the company is bad because if ur saying yes than you should buy nothing frm anyone(I had a router edimax and was faulty frm when i bought it), i admit it that os is bad and outdated.

Helping families handle back-to-school costs
Press-Republican / Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Store aisles are already crowded with parents and children shopping for back-to-school needs. We trust that teachers have been judicious about their requests in empathy with family finances.
When the kids are barely past the halfway mark of their summer vacations, the notebooks, pens, writing paper and the like start appearing on store shelves.
It used to be, many years ago, that all these items were doled out to students on the first day of school. Many Baby Boomers can recall the smell of composition books, the nervous excitement of lifting the classroom desktops to store their pencil holders.
But as schools struggled to reduce costs, more and more of the supplies needed for students have to be provided by their families. Lists are sent home specifying how many binders, notebooks and pens are needed. Shopping also often includes book covers, Kleenex, markers, erasers, calculators, rulers and more. It can get pricey, especially for those with multiple children in school.
And that is not even factoring in the fact that most families do at least a little back-to-school clothes shopping. The marketing for that begins in mid summer, as well.
We applaud the schools that have begun to recycle supplies in June as classes wrap up. A number of schools provide bins where students can drop off items they haven't used. Every school should make this a spring ritual, as it not only provides supplies to those who can't afford them but also keeps perfectly usable items from winding up in the landfill.
Another worthy effort in our area is the supply drives held by community organizations and some stores. They set up drop-off sites where people can donate new backpacks and school supplies. With all the sales taking place this time of year, it's easy to stock up at bargain prices, so even modest generosity can go a long way. We encourage more schools and agencies to establish supply drop-off sites.

CATEGORIES MoviesA fourth number-one slot in a row wasn't meant to be for "The Hunger Games," as the dystopian flick dropped to number three in this weekend's box office.
Picking up the slack was the romantic comedy "Think Like a Man," whose $33 millon take was good enough for the top spot. The film, starring Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union, is based on the best-selling Steve Harvey book, "Act Like a Woman, Think Like a Man."
Stepping into the second position, with $22.8 million, was the Nicholas Sparks' tale, "The Lucky One." Starring heartthrob Zac Efron, the movie follows the love story between Sgt. Logan Thibault (Efron) and a woman he doesn't know but credits with saving his life while overseas in Iraq.
The four-time box office champ "Hunger Games" moves to number three on the chart, racking up $14.5 million. That brings the film's total nationwide gross to a whopping $356 million.
Rounding out the top five is Disneynature's new documentary, "Chimpanzee," which brought in an impressive -- at least from a nature doc point of view -- $10.2 million, and the Farrelly brothers' "Three Stooges," dropping from last week's number-two slot, with $9.2 million.
You can check out the full top ten below.
1. "Think Like a Man" ($33 million) 2. "The Lucky One" ($22.8 million) 3. "The Hunger Games" ($14.5 million) 4. "Chimpanzee" ($10.2 million) 5. "The Three Stooges" ($9.2 million) 6. "The Cabin in the Woods" ($7.8 million) 7. "American Reunion" ($5.2 million) 8. "Titanic 3D" ($5 million) 9. "21 Jump Street" ($4.6 million) 10. "Mirror Mirror" ($4.1 million)

VINS celebrates 40 years of conservationBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | December 02,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
A red tail hawk flies out of employee Katie Christmans hands during a raptor environmental educational demonstration at the Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences on Friday.QUECHEE An Upper Valley landmark known for conservation efforts marked a major milestone this fall.
The Vermont Institute for Natural Sciences in Quechee celebrated 40 years of successful wildlife preservation and environmental education programs. VINS is a renowned environmental organization and its work has impacted the local community, the state and beyond. VINS success can be traced back to its origins when local residents took action to protect local habitat from industrial pollution.
The Ottauquechee River is a critical water source for the Upper Valley. It starts high up in the Green Mountains and meanders east until it joins the Connecticut River.
The Ottauquechee was heavily polluted in the early 1970s, when mills were dumping waste upstream. A group of Woodstock citizens got together, cleaned up the river and stopped the mills from causing further harm.
So that was the start, VINS President John Dolan said. They became successful pretty quickly. So then they thought OK, what do we do now?
VINS began as an organization in 1972 and operated out of a Woodstock storefront. They moved into a old farm building on Church Hill Road in Woodstock in the late 1970s and began new programs.
VINS conducted ornithological research and the rehabilitation of avian wildlife. The work was prompted by VINS co-founders Sally and David Laughlin, Richard Farrar, June McKnight and Jenepher Lingelbach, Dolan said.
The staff initially took in injured raptors because nobody else knew where to bring them, Dolan said. (Sally) took care of injured birds in her backyard and had a number of enclosures with injured owls, hawks and falcons that were brought to her for treatment. It really evolved into a professional rehabilitation operation.
As VINS settled in, a new program was established, Environmental Learning for the Future, an award-winning environmental education program for elementary-age children.
ELF is designed to give children an understanding of and appreciation for the natural world and increase scientific and environmental literacy. The ELF curriculum includes a textbook called Hands On Nature and is used throughout New England schools.
As VINS grew in the 1990s, so did its programs, and a new facility was needed. VINS moved to a new location near the Quechee Gorge in 2004 and built a new nature center that includes a rehabilitation and release center, exhibits, nature trails and more.
VINS established an in-house ornithological research group that studied native birds of Vermont. According to Dolan, the group was instrumental in removing the Bicknells Thrush, a songbird, and the Vermont Loon from the endangered species list.
The nature center was a significant development for VINS. It became a destination, it drew a lot of people from across the country and raised our profile, Dolan said.
The final and perhaps the most influential contribution to VINS success is the support from volunteers, donors, researchers and conservationists who shared a concern for wildlife and local habitat.
A lot of what you see at the center comes from tens of thousands of volunteers that helped us out over the last 40 years, Dolan said. Ive been with VINS for six years but I can see from where I sit the very rich legacy that staff, donors and volunteers left behind: a tremendous knowledge of natural sciences and reputation for quality programing in environmental education. VINS has always maintained high standards of quality in everything its done.

Habitat for Humanity's annual Carter Work Project headed to Mekong in 2009
ATLANTA (May 15, 2008) – Habitat for Humanity International's 26th annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project will be held in the Mekong River region in November 2009. The Carters will join thousands of volunteers in building houses and bringing attention to the need for decent and affordable housing to countries along the Mekong River. The event will also launch a five-year Habitat for Humanity campaign to assist families across the region.
The Mekong region — defined to include Vietnam, the Yunnan Province in China, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia — has seen significant economic growth in the past 20 years. Yet it is still home to some of the poorest families in Asia. Nearly one-third of the population (80 million out of 250 million) live in poverty, many living on less than a dollar per day.
"Rosalynn and I are pleased to travel to the Mekong region to join volunteers from around the world in 2009," said President Carter. "Together during the week, we will help hundreds of families into decent housing and bring attention to an area where many people live in deplorable poverty."
The week-long building project will secure homes in partnership with an estimated 300 families. It also will begin a five-year Habitat for Humanity initiative to assist 50,000 families across the five countries by engaging corporations, individuals and partner organizations in the fight to end poverty housing.
"The need for affordable housing is immense in the Mekong region," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "We look forward to bringing worldwide attention to this issue through the Carter Work Project and to working alongside these 300 families and assisting thousands more throughout the five-year campaign to improve lives through homeownership."
Plans for the event include builds in northern Thailand, where Habitat for Humanity Thailand runs a successful program working with tribal families; in rural communities in Yunnan, southwestern China; in southern Laos; in slum areas of the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh; and in communities along the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam.
"Habitat for Humanity has a strong and growing presence in all the Mekong countries through a wide range of housing solutions," said Richard Hathaway, vice president for Habitat for Humanity International's Asia/Pacific region. "This project will provide a significant boost to those programs to serve even more families in need of decent shelter."
The 2009 Carter Work Project will mark the fourth time the former U.S. president and his wife have built with Habitat for Humanity in Asia. Previous Carter Work Projects were held in India in 2006, in South Korea in 2001 and in the Philippines in 1999.
This year, the event was held in the U.S. Gulf Coast to help with the ongoing recovery efforts after 2005's hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Habitat's annual project also was renamed the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project to recognize the former first lady's years of dedicated service.
About Habitat for Humanity International

Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 250,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.

Before there was Progressive Field (earlier Jacobs Field or The Jake) in Cleveland, there was Municipal Stadium, widely derided as "The Mistake On The Lake". Huge, cold and forbidding, Cleveland Municipal was originally built as part of Cleveland's bid to host the 1932 Olympic Games.
Imagine that -- the Olympics in Cleveland.
Done? OK, before 1932, there was League Park, home of the Indians from their inception and also host to some Cleveland teams in the National League before 1900. Cy Young, in fact, had some of his greatest seasons there. Originally constructed in 1891, it was rebuilt in 1910 and located in what was once the finest part of the city of Cleveland:
The main road heading east from Cleveland is Euclid Avenue. Before the advent of the Interstate Highway, that was the street you would have taken to get from Cleveland to places like Buffalo and Boston. When John D. Rockefeller was building his fortune refining oil, he resided on Euclid Avenue. Later in the 19th century, dozens of newly made millionaires built their mansions on that same street. For over one hundred years the area east of Cleveland that Euclid Avenue passed through was one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in America. Through most of the 20th century, the finest office buildings, department stores and playhouses lined the street.
As with many stadiums of early 20th Century vintage, the area became blighted and the team moved out. Later League Park fell into disrepair, but unlike places such as Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds and Forbes Field, more of it survived. What remained included a ticket house and a bleacher wall surrounding an open field, and this week a plan was announced to restore League Park as a functioning part of a revitalization of that part of Cleveland:
City Architecture is wrapping up plans that include restoring the ticket house and a bleacher wall and creating a Major League-size diamond in the same place as the original. Home plate will go in the exact spot where it rested the day that Babe Ruth whacked his 500th career home run in 1929.
Plans also call for a community building with a museum, a youth baseball diamond and a field for football and soccer. If bids are low enough, the city could add a pavilion and splash park.
The project is expected to cost $5 million and, according to the article:
Fans from around the world have expressed interest in visiting after the restoration is finished, said Russ Haslage, director of the League Park Society, a nonprofit group of preservation advocates.
This is a good thing. Too often in the USA, we are quick to discard our history and heritage in the interest of "progress". A similar group wanted to do something very much like this with Tiger Stadium in Detroit, but such efforts were blocked by various entities even though there are no plans for any other use of that land.
There's one more curiosity about League Park. The stadium never had permanent lights, so the Indians played their night games at Municipal Stadium but remained at League Park for weekends and holidays through 1946. Can you imagine that today? A team with two home ballparks, very different in shape, size and capacity?
It actually worked out all right for the Tribe. In the 13 years they split time between the two parks, 1934-46, they had just four losing seasons, though they won no AL pennants. It might not work today, but it's a slice of baseball and American history well worth preserving and celebrating.

The campuses at Atlantic Cape Community College are, for the most part, very well maintained. The bulidings each have a unique appearance, and there are often large windows and high ceilings to add aesthetics. The student centers, such as the library, student lounges, and the main lobby, are all clean, open, and very welcoming to students. At the smaller campuses, there are computers available but space is limited, so many individuals bring their own laptops. The smaller campuses, such as the Cape May County campus, do not have a wide variety of food services available to students with a gap between classes.
The libraries at Atlantic Cape are very helpful, and there are always librarians on hand to assist anyone searching for information either in books or online. Although many books are not imediately available at all campuses, ACCC provides services to ship the book to a local campus where a student can conviently pick it up. The computer network, while mostly very fast, is sometimes unreliable for someone using a laptop. Tech support on campus is very convient, and the team is always willing to help students or professors having technical issues.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — Matt Drudge collected the headlines of the "Black Friday" shopping rush and posted them on his website, The Drudge Report:
"Gang fight at Black Friday sale."
"Man punched in face pulls gun on line-cutting shopper."
"Shoppers smash through door."
"Customers run over in parking lot."
"Men steal boy's shopping bag."
There are many more. Taken together, they raise a question: Have we, as a nation, gone insane?
All this violence and mayhem — for what? To save a few bucks on a toy or the latest electronic gadget? What is the cost to the human spirit of this frenzy of consumerism?
It's wonderful to be able to give a gift or two to a child or other family member at Christmas. But somehow, that desire to give has become corrupted into "must have or Christmas will be ruined."
We've seen this kind of collective insanity before. Usually, it is associated with a hot new toy or product that everyone wants. Recall the mania for Cabbage Patch Kids and Tickle Me Elmo dolls or the rush to get the latest video-gaming system. People fear that the supply will run out, so an atmosphere of panic buying develops.
This year, however, it seems there is no "Big New Thing." Yet people are engaging in the same kind of desperate, driven shopping behavior for ordinary products they can buy any day.
Charles Mackay would understand it. In his 1841 classic "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds," Mackay looked at, among other topics, obsessive economic behavior.
One example he explored was the famous "Dutch tulip bubble" of the early 1600s, during which a mania for tulips drove prices for tulip bulbs sky-high.
While there is some dispute among economists today about the scope of the tulip bubble, the principle illustrated by Mackay remains: that a fear of being "left behind" will drive people to assign great worth to things of little intrinsic value.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one," Mackay wrote.
Retailers, of course, understand this behavior very well. Much has been written that some of the deals offered on Black Friday are no great deals at all. But no one wants to be the dupe who missed out on the "big sale."
There's nothing wrong with retailers putting items on sale to draw shoppers into their stores. The practice is as old as selling itself.
Likewise, there's nothing wrong with being a bargain-hunting shopper. Seeking out the best deals can be an adventure.
But there is no call for angry, violent or even criminal behavior.
Hordes of people rampaging through stores seeking the best for themselves is a mark of barbarism, not a civilized society.
Further, it is a corruption of the spirit of the holiday season.
It is our hope that everyone will find the gifts of their dreams under the Christmas tree this year — without sacrificing the spirit of peace and brotherhood that is the true meaning of the season.

The United States Needs an Overall Emergency Warning Strategy
We, the undersigned, ask the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to create a national strategy so emergency public information, including warnings, will always be coordinated with other emergency response measures.
A Partnership for Public Warning report that was written ten years ago, "A National Strategy for Integrated Public Warning and Capability", can serve as a starting point:
"Technical capabilities without consistent policy are wasted investments." *
*Quote is from Art Botterell. Art played a key role to bring the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) to life as a Trustee for PPW. Art is considered by many emergency warning experts to be the father of CAP. CAP is the core vital technical emergency warning capability that needs that national policy to help save more lives and property by getting timely protective actions to people at risk.

Few people know this, but I absolutely love seeing the dashboard or backend systems of various businesses. Thankfully, in this age of e-businesses they're becoming more and more prevelant and more and more sexy. I've been meaning to post about this in the past but had not got around to it when I spied a hacker news post about the new Panic Status Board. I really recommend reading the thread.
Here's a collection of dashboards that were linked or discussed. If you click on the image it will take you to the original site with more details and a higher fidelity image.
Panic Status Board
This one is just awesome. Read the thread and the comments – Panic is an absolutely inspiring business in all respects.
Goplan Status Board
Goplan use this status page which provides details about email, commits, twitter comments and the general social vibe about their business.
CulturedCode Status Board
CulturedCode take a slightly different approach – they have a public facing status page that details major company initiatives and how they're tracking with them. Interestingly, they have also used the approach of showing the status page like the Flight Status displays you see at the airport.
CarbonMade Status Board
The Carbonmade status page show dummy data – I'm not sure if they actually use this internally. It shows some interesting information around users upgrading, renewing and downgrading which suits a SaaS application well. The page linked to is fully interactive and you can drag down the management console to see some basic financials.
My only bad comment on this status board is that it shows a bit too much information – I find I cannot just glance and have an understanding. Having said that, it's probably great for folks who want to be soaked in information!
What others have you seen around the place? I'd love to update this thread with any more you discover.
John-Daniel Trask
P.S. Yes, we at Mindscape have a web based status board but it's incredibly basic and I would be shamed by showing it now. It feels like a console app in an html5 world currently! Perhaps after a few more revisionsTagged: Carbonmade, Culturedcode, Goplan, Panic, Statusboard

SMS integration is a new feature in version 1.5 of the Web Tools, so let's test it out. Firstly, I looked over the URI scheme for SMS http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5724#section-2.2 and section 2.2 is the important bit imho.
Keep in mind that I tested this with version 1.4.0 of the Nokia Browser that I got directly from the Nokia Store. Not sure why there is a discrepency in versions between the Store and the Web Apps, but it causes problems for Web App developers.
I created a test app that had the following simple line in the body of the html
Where the ... was replaced by a variety of different experiments as shown further below.Code:test sms
I tried the recipient number in a few formats: local and international (with and without a plus sign) and all worked well. The user was presented with the sms text entry box and the user has the chance to change the recipient as well. <Nokia Browser version 1.4 specific stuff>But, as soon as I tried appending a message body to the sms with the ?body= section then things fell over with the error "Incorrect recipient information" and the displayed number had the body tag and text shown. E.g: if my href was "sms:+123456789012?body=Hello%20World" then the whole part after the sms: was thought to be the recipient's phone number.
Broken, I thought, until I tried: href="sms:0123456789,?body=test" <-- notice the comma after the number? But no, even though this worked, it didn't work well enough as the body part still comes through as another recipient! I then noticed that, for some unfathomable reason, a semi-colon will end the list of recipients. This raises another question: why does a semi-colon ";" end the list of recipients? This isn't part of the SMS URI scheme.
Okay, so you can get the SMS integration working, but my use case for sms in a Web App is not met. I expect to be able to set the body text of an sms without a recipient phone number. The user clicks the link, opens the sms editor with my body text set, and selects their recipient. This is a classic "Share This App" feature and it is impossible to do currently without setting some number first.
My test sms links with fake numbers:
</Nokia Browser version 1.4 specific stuff>HTML Code:Test Link1 Works Test Link2 Works Test Link3 Works Test Link4 FAILS Test Link5 FAILS Test Link6 FAILS and crashes phone when viewing recipients in sms editor Test Link6b Works Test Link7 Works Test Link8 Fails
With v1.5.0 of the Nokia Browser, most of these problems seem resolved. Including my use case as seen below
So, in summary of the SMS integration: nice idea, Only use on Nokia Browser 1.5.0 and up.HTML Code:Test Link 1 Works Test Link 2 Works Test Link 3 Works Test Link 4 FAILS - case sensitive attributes Test Link 5 Works Test Link 6 Works Test Link 7 Works Test Link 8 Works Test Link 9 Works - thanks :)
Recommendation: (redacted: Wait until the bugs are fixed before trying to) Use today in your web apps in Nokia Browser 1.5.0 (and only use if you are not trying to get users to sms premium rated numbers ).

I enjoyed the card tonight. Angulo had a tough time in his fight, but did enuff to win in a solid performance. he didnt blow his load early and was patient. He's a solid oppponenet for any top guy at 154.
The Wilder fight was more of a punch than a fight. Wilder seems really raw. I think he gets beaten by guys like Chris Arreaola and the 2nd tier of heavies. i think he has a great upside and has great potential. He does need to step up his comp though. I have no clue who that guy was he was fighting, but lets get him in there with Seth Mitchel or the guy who just beat him and see what he can do.
Khan was explosive tonight. I did see some improvements in his game. he seems a bit more patient. Still has great combos. His defense is a "little' better." He's going to need to see Garcia again to redeem himself. Now would be a good time to rematch Beridis Prescott before getting garcia again next summer.

After years of protests, debate, and even a special legislative session, Governor Dave Heineman officially gave his stamp of approval for the new route of the Keystone XL pipeline. Heineman also wrote a letter to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton outlining his endorsement. It's news Ben Gotschall with Bold Nebraska isn't happy to hear.
"Very disappointed about his decision. It's a major reversal of his position just a couple years ago," said Gotschall.
Governor Heineman had vehemently opposed the original route - one that took the pipeline through the Sand Hills and over the Ogallala aquifer. TransCanada officials say after long debates and a move out of the Sand Hills, they're pleased to get the endorsement they've been waiting for. Spokesman Shawn Howard say the company had listened to Nebraskans all along.
"We understand that people had concerns. We addressed the concerns by moving it out of the area that was defined as the Nebraska Sand Hills. We've shown all the extra steps and precautions that we've been prepared to take," said Howard.
Others applauding the governor's decision include "Americans for Prosperity" and U.S. Senators Deb Fischer and Mike Johanns. They all say they support the possibilities for job growth and energy efficiency. Others say the new route still goes over the aquifer, and the benefits still don't outweigh the risks.
"When you talk about direct jobs, directing economic impact directly to Nebraskans, and weigh the direct risks... it doesn't add up for most people," said Gotschall.
It is now up to the president to approve the final permit to build the pipeline. Officials with TransCanada say if that happens, they hope to have it in service by the end of 2014.

Scary injury tonight in Minnesota where the Wild are hosting the Colorado Avalanche. At the start of a Wild power play, Ryan O'Reilly of the Avalanche was pursuing the puck near the blue line when he tripped and tumbled into the boards.
It appeared as though his upper back or neck took the brunt of the impact, and as he crumpled on the ice, you could see in his face that he was immediately concerned. Despite full consciousness, O'Reilly opted not to move. Trainers came out, doctors came out and eventually, a stretcher came out. He didn't move at all.
We'll keep you updated as we learn more.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

New Book In the Tradition of Jane DArista
Banking, Monetary Policy and the Political Economy of Financial Regulation: Essays in the Tradition of Jane DArista is a new book edited by PERI Co-Director Gerald Epstein, Tom Schlesinger and Matías Vernengo. Most of the essays in the volume were first presented at a May 2008 conference at PERI held in honor of Jane DArista. For decades, Jane DArista has identified, analyzed, and warned against the forces that had led to the Great Recession, which was unfolding at the time of the conference. Contributors to this volume both examine the causes of the crisis as well as advance new policy perspectives on financial markets and macroeconomics that are capable of enhancing well-being for vast majority of people rather than only the "fortunate few" that currently control the financial system.

Carbon Dividends: A Common Sense Solution to Climate Change
James Boyce, Director of PERIs Program on Development, Peacebuilding, and the Environment, published a New York Times opinion piece on new federal climate legislation introduced by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) based around the idea of cap and dividend. The legislation would cap carbon pollution by requiring coal, oil and natural gas companies to buy permits from the federal government for each ton of carbon in the fuels they sell. The government then returns 100 percent of the proceeds straight to the American people as equal dividends. If any climate bill should win bipartisan support, this is it, Boyce writes.

Financial Interconnectedness and Systemic Risk
The financial crisis introduced the idea that some banks are too big to fail. It was not just their size, but their interconnectedness that proved disastrousshocks suffered by large banks spread quickly throughout the financial system, and then to the whole economy. The Federal Reserve has begun disseminating data on large banks and intra-financial activity. The blog Naked Capitalism features a post by Nikhil Rao, Juan Montecino, and PERI Co-Director Gerald Epstein. They examine an unprecedented level of detail in the Feds new reportand find that seven of the largest banks are also the most interconnected.
Savings, Capital Flight, and African Development
Historically, countries that achieve and sustain high growth rates maintain high domestic saving rates, enabling domestic investment and job creation. But saving in African countries has remained low, leading to high investment-savings gaps, and increased dependence on external capital. This analysis by Léonce Ndikumana, Director of PERIs African Development Policy Program, suggests that strategies to address domestic savings should include policies to curb and prevent further capital flight (the leakage of financial resources) from Africa, the levels of which have exploded over the past decade.
The Causes of Chinas Export-Led Growth
There is consensus among economists, international organizations and the Chinese government that Chinas export- and investment-led growth model is unsustainable. Exchange rate manipulation is often named as the major cause of Chinas massive trade surpluses. But there is no agreement about the extent to which the Renminbi is actually undervalued, and if an exchange rate appreciation would significantly reduce Chinas current account surplus. In this working paper, Simon Sturn finds that the central policy challenge for correcting Chinas trade imbalances is not simply to appreciate the Renminbi, but to increase reduce inequality and increase average household incomes. This will increase Chinas domestic consumption level relative to exports.

The fire was reported at a storage building on Johnson's Sod Farm on the 1600 block of State Highway 77 in Upper Deerfield Township around 5 Wednesday afternoon.

The cause of the blaze is still being investigated, but police say they do not believe it is suspicious at this time.

It is a case of "the early bird gets the worm" tomorrow at Mountain View Humane Clinic.
It is World Spay Day, and the first 27 callers in the New River Valley and the Roanoke Valley to make an appointment, get their dogs spayed at no cost.
Leaders at Mountain View say it is a way to help push the importance of regulating the population of domestic animals.
"For every four animals that are fixed in a low cost clinic like ours, two to three animals will never show up in a shelter and so we can over time eliminate the need for euthanasia just for spays. We don't want to see adoptable animals being killed in the shelter," said Kelly Cass, with Mountain View Humane.
Leaders at the clinic say since our story more than a week ago, they received about $1,000 in private money.

I had never tried sculpting, but I remembered reading two magazine articles by sculptor Phil Lewis in the mid-1990s. I reread them, got the basic supplies -- some Green Stuff, a spool of 20-gauge copper wire, a wire-cutting tool (flush-cutters), a cork from a wine bottle, and two steel tools from my dentist -- and sculpted that dwarf. Since then, I've gotten a few better supplies, but I improved because I kept practicing and asking advice from the more experienced sculptors whenever I could (especially in person at ReaperCon). I already had around 15 years of experience painting, and I think that helped me learn quickly.
I emailed Phil Lewis a few years ago to say thanks for writing such helpful articles, and he was happy to hear from me as a reader.
@ThornDJL7: Send me a Personal Message with your email address, and I can email PDFs of those articles to you.

International Shorts
These days, brevity ain't just the soul of wit. Our entire online world is abuzz with rapid-fire communication, and moving-image "clips" tend to last about the length of a commercial break. thank heavens there are content creators out there who are treating their communications so seriously that they are making fabulous, artistic, big-screen-worthy cinema!
VIFF is ramping up its commitment to short films and we are delighted to have a great sponsor for this investment. The short-film format has been around since the dawn of cinema, but never has it been so relevant. We've featured extensive programs of Canadian short films for decades, and our goal now is to expand the number of international shorts in our program. Than you to Kevin Campbell and Lochmaddy Foundation for expanding the horizon!

The Google Analytics Qualification and How to Pass
As you can see from the oversized badge on the right, yesterday I passed the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (IQ) test. Huzzah! If you use the software on a regular basis, it's probably not the hardest exam you will ever have taken but without a bit of preparation, it's unlikely you'll pass first time. I was lucky (I think) in that I managed to lock myself away for most of the weekend to brush up on my analytics terminology and familiarise myself with topics like cookies, tracking code and the dreaded Regular Expressions (Regex).

SEO For Competitive Keywords
I recently carried out some SEO research in to a highly competitive niche to see what the differences were between the SEO work I carry out every day in the wedding industry and some of the more cut throat/black-hat niches. The niche I chose to look at for my study of SEO for competitive keywords was blackjack. Having never worked in the gaming world, online or offline, I was interested to see how SEO tactics differed. This post explains how I would launch a new site with the target of reaching page one of Google UK.
Google's Easter eggs
Google's "Let it snow" Easter egg has been getting a lot of attention over the past couple of days but this is just one of many little toys created by the boffins at the Googleplex. Here is a selection of incredibly nerdy Easter eggs from the search giant.
Get non personalised Google results
Google has been showing personalised results worldwide (even for signed out users) since 2009. The idea is that you'll see results which Google deems to be more relavant to you. For example, if you often search for "football news" and then click through to the BBC's football page, Google will rank the BBC page higher in your results. This is a great way for Google to show you more relavant search results and provide a better user experience. However, it also poses a problem to SEO's trying to find "real" rankings. Fortunately, there is a simple way to get non personalised results as well as checking results from Google's international search engines (.com, .fr etc).
Product reviews and outreach for deep links
As I mentioned in a previous post on Link building for eCommerce, one of the methods I like to use to get deep links to my product level pages is product reviews. The idea is this – I send a well known industry blogger some of our products and they write a review with a link back to the product page. Everyone wins when using this tactic – I get a highly relevant link back to my product page and the reviewer gets great content for their site. Before we get to this stage however, there's the inevitable link building leg work to be done.
This post explains the process I use to identify potential reviewers and the outreach email I send to get a positive response. It's a time consuming process but I've seen a great success rate using these methods.
