Flu viruses are thought to spread mainly from person to person through coughing, sneezing, or even just talking closely with someone who has the flu. Flu viruses also may spread when people touch something with flu virus on it and then touch their mouth, eyes, or nose. Many other viruses spread these ways too.
People infected with flu may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5-7 days after becoming sick. That means you may be able to spread the flu to someone else before you know you are sick as well as while you are sick. Young children, those who are severely ill, and those who have severely weakened immune systems may be able to infect others for longer than 5-7 days.
What are everyday preventive actions?
Everyday preventive actions are steps that people can take to help slow the spread of germs that cause respiratory illness, like flu. These include the following personal and community actions:
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. This will block the spread of droplets from your mouth or nose that could contain germs.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you or your child gets sick with a respiratory illness, like flu, limit contact with others as much as possible to help prevent spreading illness. Stay home (or keep your child home) for at least 24 hours after fever is gone except to seek medical care or for other necessities. Fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.
• If an outbreak of flu or another illness occurs, follow public health advice. This may include information about how to increase distance between people and other measures.

GENERIC NAME: nifedipine
BRAND NAMES: Adalat, Procardia, Afeditab, Nifediac
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Nifedipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers (CCBs) that are used to treat angina (heart pain), high blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythms. Other drugs in the same class include amlodipine (Norvasc), diltiazem (Cardizem LA, Tiazac), felodipine (Plendil), isradipine (Dynacirc), nicardipine (Cardene), nimodipine (Nimotop), and verapamil (Covera-HS, Veralan PM, Calan). Like other CCBs, nifedipine works by blocking the flow of calcium into the muscle cells surrounding the arteries that supply blood to the heart (coronary arteries) as well as other arteries of the body. Since the inflow of calcium is what causes the muscle cells to contract, blocking the entry of calcium relaxes the muscles and dilates (widens) the arteries. By dilating coronary arteries, nifedipine increases the flow of blood to the heart. This treats and prevents angina which occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is not adequate to supply the heart with enough oxygen necessary to pump blood. Relaxing the muscles surrounding other arteries of the body lowers blood pressure and thereby reduces the pressure against which the heart must pump blood and function. This reduces the demand of the heart for oxygen--another mechanism by which CCBs treat and prevent angina. In addition, nifedipine slows conduction of the electrical current that travels through the heart that causes the muscle of the heart to contract. This effect can be used to correct abnormally rapid heartbeats.

If You Could Have One Bottle... Any Bottle
- WineAG Dec 19, 2008 05:31 PM
Thought it would be fun to ask what wine you'd want if you could choose ANY wine in the world for free. Perhaps you had it once and were blown away by it... or a wine that you've never tried but always wanted to.
Price is not to be a factor... it must be a wine you'd drink... not pick a wine that's super expensive just so you can say you'd sell it.
I don't want to influence the replies so I'll wait a bit to add what I'm thinking of...
re: zin1953
Wow. A legendary wine that most consider the greatest port of the 20th Century. I've never had it but it's one that I'd too love to try. I've had the 1963 Nacional which was fantastic. Friends who's had the 31say it lives up to the reputation.
re: WineAG
It's one of a tiny handful of legendary Vintage Ports that has escaped me . . .
re: zin1953
I was in Porto a couple of months ago and was amazed by the vintage ports that were for sale in many little shops. 1900 port for $1600 dollars. I simply couldn't believe they kept it in the storefront windows!
re: zin1953
I have to second this reply. Next, would probably the '55 Taylor-Fladgate, as I have never really tasted it.
re: mengathon
Another legendary wine. I've been lucky enough to try it on a few occasions. Appropriate that it comes right after the mention of the Quinta National... as this Bordeaux is almost port-like. Very a-typical... incredible concentration. I remember the finish lasting forever.
Since you mentioned the 47, for those who may be interested... I recently received notice of a wine dinner centered around the 1947 Cheval Blanc to be held in Boston at Troquet Restaurant on Jan 14, 2009. Also pouring the 1985, 1983, 1982, 1990. Expectedly, not cheap. For anyone interested, contact Troquet or email me directly and I'll send you the details.
re: WineAG
Oh my. For budgetary reasons, I'd rather not know the details.
I have a feeling this will be a great thread. I bet it stirs up lots of fond memories and prospects for the future.
re: WineAG
my absolute favorite resto in boston, for precisely that reason... wine dinners like that. i happened to be there on a night where there was a collector's dinner featuring Unico from 13 or so vintages... and was lucky enough to get to taste some phenomenal old wines. and the food is magnificent.
re: mengathon
I love this wine.
Sommeracher Katzenkopf 1976 Rieslaner Beerensauslese. Definitively the best sweet wine I've ever had. (See photo)
re: whiner
90 LT is a phenomenal wine... one of the greats. My greatest La Tache experience was the 71 from magnum (incredible sweet fruit and a finish that never ended... followed by the 78 (mostly great bottles with a few that didn't live up to what it should be). The 78 is more powerful than the 71. Good bottles are insanely great. Another great vintage, the 1962 is one I've always wanted to try. The 1990 is a powerhouse. Last time I had it was about 7 years ago... still a baby. It does seem to fit the mold of legendary LTs and will be long lived.
Another point... the 1990 vintage may be the greatest "across the board" (all types of wines from all countries) vintage of our lifetime.
re: WineAG
The 1959 La Tâche was incredible, but my favorite DRC of all time is 1962 Romanée-Conti.
re: zin1953
I've longed for the 62 LT... the RC must be other-worldly.
Since were on 1962.... another great 62... Vega Sicilia... I love this wine... along with the 70... Favorite Vega, however, is the 1968.
re: zin1953
I know several people who have had the '59 La Tache and claim it as thier favorite wine of all time. So maybe I should have said '62 R-C :-)
re: Brad Ballinger
This is my choice too. Around 30 years ago -- when I was just beginning to learn about wines -- I was privileged to attend a tasting of the 1961 first growths. Latour was my favorite then and I expect would still be today. I've never had any of the 61s again and don't know that I ever will. But the nostalgia factor plus the quality of this wine would make it my first choice.
re: chriscatva
61 Latour is another fantastic choice... a beauty, such power... Up there with Latour a Pomerol, Petrus, Haut Brion, La Mission Haut Brion, Trotanoy, and Palmer as my favorite 61's. All quite different but all amazing.
re: chriscatva
The 1970 Latour, to this day, is the best wine that I have tasted (in '92).
re: Brad Ballinger
You and I both. For the same reasons. Classic year and too much $$$.
Musigny 1990 Domaine Leroy. Not, scratch that, Henri Bonneau Cuvée des Célestins 1998. Hmm...
On second thought, I am changing to Krug Clos du mesnil 1996.
And Petrus 1982 behind that. Or Yquem 1976.
1982 Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux. We had one bottle, given to us, by a co-worker and friend of my husband, the year we were married (1995). My husband helped the guy remove the burner from his boiler in his basement because the river was rising and his home was threatened by flood. He was most appreciative he gave us a bottle of his most treasured wine. He had brought a case of it home from France years prior. My understanding is that 1982 was a legendary year.
We kept the bottle for several years and when we opened, decanted and drank it on our anniversary - well, it was exceptionally good. The deep, ruby color I have never seen before or since. I later googled it and found that same vintage was being sold for $800+ back then.
re: chrisinroch
You don't want to know what I used to sell it for . . .
I was thinking of the 1990 Domaine Leroy Latricieres Chambertin... or perhaps a 1900 Chateau Margaux. No, make that the 1921 d'Yquem...
Taurino, "Notarpanaro" Rosso di Salento 1988 - I was in college and just discovering wine. This wine was the first that fully revealed itself to me. I will never forget it, and oh, to be 20 years old again, at 34th & Hamilton in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at my friend Shola's apartment, listening to Deadcandance and This Mortal Coil and The Cocteau Twins and The Smiths, while finishing at Drexel University.
Thank you to all that remember
Ditto on the 90 La Tache, wouldn't kick 83 Beaucastel out of bed for eating crackers either.
In the late 1960's Mason Williams (Classical Gas, Smother's Brother's writer, etc.) published the "Mason Williams' reader.) In the book, he outlines "how to enjoy crackers."
It seems appropriate to use a variation on his theme for this subject:
1. Rent a dive motel room.
2. Place 10lbs of salad mix in a large trash bag in the room
3. Have a 1 gallon jug of ranch dressing also at the bedside
Pick up your girlfriend or wife for a "date." Take her to the motel room, have her completely undress on the bed. Cover her with the salad; she will be protesting as you slowly add the ranch dressing, but assure her everything is fine and as planned.
Then shout: "I forgot the crackers!"
Leave the dive motel, take a cab to the finest 4-star hotel in town. Rent a room, go upstairs and order crackers and--for this posting--the bottle of wine you've always wanted.
When the wine and crackers are delivered, get undressed, climb into bed and savor the first taste. It will be the best wine you've ever tasted....
re: maria lorraine
Maria, Same dive motel. Blue plastic tarp, 12 lb smoked turkey and a bottle of EverKleer...
Though several Le Montrachets have been memorable (a weakness of mine), two favorites would be the '53 Mouton and the '59 Steinberger TBA. WOW!
I'd choose a Magnum of 1870 Chateau Lafite Rothschild from the Glamis Castle.
I've included Michael Broadbent's notes from a NY Christies listing for a magnum that was up for auction in 2000... it sold for $32,000.... today it would bring more.
Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1870
This was unquestionably one of the most famous and dependable of all pre-phylloxera clarets. The wine was purchased by the 13th Earl from his wine merchant, Coningham, and binned in the cellars beneath the raised courtyard of the castle in 1878.
Of the forty-eight magnums originally purchased, forty-two remained untouched until packed and removed prior to the sale. The reason for this extraordinary situation is that Lafite 1870 was an unusually tannic wine, virtually black in colour and so tough that it took a full fifty years to become drinkable, by which time subsequent members of the family had lost interest. Forty-one magnums were sold in lots of three and six, the first lot including the original bin label inscribed "1870 magnums Lafitte (sic) Coningham", with the meticulously maintained Glamis Castle cellarbook open for inspection.
One magnum was opened at a pre-sale dinner in Christie's boardroom early in June 1971 attended by a dozen of England's most erudite Bordeaux connoisseurs. The wine, happily, was perfect. My note made at the time : " perfect cork and level; remarkably deep and richly coloured; faultless - indeed exquisite - bouquet and flavour; beautifully balanced, mouthfilling, still tannic but velvety. Perfection". MB
re: WineAG
NB: Mention of the power of the wine is lacking. Having tasted some high-end, 1925-1928 Burgundies recently, I can understand the careful wording of the note. Wines fade and lose their power with time. Wine is born, lives, and dies. It reminds me of the 1989 Lafitte. It is now perfectly balanced and very refined, but it is not a truly great wine because is not as powerful as the greats, nor will it ever be. But I certainly woud have liked to have tasted it 60 or 80 years ago!
re: Joebob
I've had the 1870 Lafite on 3 occasions. The first time was on the occasion of Napa pioneer Barney Rhodes' 70th birthday party at the Ritz Carlton in SF when Gary Danko was the chef (FYI, Barney passed away last year at the age of 88). It was, and still is, the greatest wine I've ever had. It was from a Glamis Castle magnum that was purchased at auction many years prior. It was still youthful, dark in color, had perfect balance, great fruit, amazing depth, as smooth as silk mouthfeel... a finish that was never ending. So perfect words really cannot describe it properly. I had never had anything that remotely came close to this masterpiece. For contrast, It was also served along side the 1959 and the 1876 Lafites. The 1876 was very light in color... it was opened to show how very special this 1870 was... the 1876 was very mature, drinkable, but had certainly past it's prime. The 1959, another legendary Lafite, was still a young wine... fantastic, youthful, intense. What was amazing to see was that the 1870's color was as dark and vibrant as the 59.
The second time I had it was from another Glamis Magnum, and equally as good.
The third time, about 7 years ago, was from a Magnum that a friend brought to a special dinner.... when he bought it it was billed as a bottle that was "believed to be" from the Glamis Castle. This wine, while very good, was in no way even remotely close to the other mags. Obviously not from the castle.
Yes, there's a reason the Glamis Castle bottles are so prized. It was a combination of perfect very cold storage along with a fantastic wine that was built for the very long term. There can't be many of these mags around still.
re: WineAG
When you write "very cold storage", do you know what the temperature was? Below the "optimal" 55-58F?
re: Joebob
re: Joebob
I've seen comments that the temp was around 5 - 7 degrees C....... so, that's around 41-44 degrees F. .... and humidity around 75%.
re: WineAG
Does this imply that conventional temp. wisdom could be improved by lowering the temp. i.e., should I crank down my Vinotemp as low as it goes?
re: Joebob
Interesting. Actually some people prefer to keep their cellars at a lower temp than the traditional 55 degrees... say 50 - 52. Some keep them a little warmer. Personally, Im a fan of 55 (if anything a degree or 2 warmer). These minor differences really don't make that much difference. The most important factor is that the temp is CONSTANT.
Here's the main thing to consider. The COLDER the temp you keep the cellar, the SLOWER the wines will age. This was dramatically shown with the Glamis Castle bottles.
Another aspect that's important for collectors to consider is the humidity level. If it's too low the corks will dry out and the wine will oxidize. It is believed the humidity level at the castle was 75%, ideal.
re: Joebob
Think of all those old Science Fiction movies . .. the ones that "froze" people into suspended animation. The colder the wine is stored, the slower it matures.
And as Steven says, humidity is also crucial . . .
re: Joebob
Not unless you plan on waiting 100+ years to drink it....
The "Rochioli" bottling from Wliiams-Selyem , one with about 5 years of age on it , from the good old days when Burt Williams and Ed Selyem were in their hayday . Course , I wouldn't argue against the La Tache or Romanee-Conti .
I actually had a dream about this. DH and I were in a fancy restaurant and the owner offered us one glass of wine each on the house. I picked the Chateau LaTour, at $38/glass (wishful thinking). So I guess that'sthe bottle I would like to try most.
There are, if I counted correctly, 41 specific wines mentioned as of 10 January 2009 @ 6:30 pm PST.
For example, I am counting "1931 Quinta do Noval Nacional", but NOT "[t]he "Rochioli" bottling from Wliiams-Selyem" as it lacks a specific vintage.
I think I've had 31 of them . . . that's just sick!
re: zin1953
Do you know what is sicker ? I have had none ! I need to upgrade my drinking friends.
My one bottle choice would be a Nebuchadnezzar of 2001 Screaming Eagle and a very large glass.................
re: zin1953
Yippee, I've had the 1988 Taurino Notapanaro. Sigh.
re: Brad Ballinger
Brad - is the Notaparanano the one whose back label describes it as "the" or "a" mediation wine? I seem to recall a number of years ago when drinking Notaparanano that it bore such a description.
re: ibstatguy
Dunno. The last Notapanaro I had was the 1988. The last Taurino wine I had was the 1993 Patriglione.
re: zin1953
You've jinxed yourself into having to post the entire list of vintages mentioned in this thread for our reading pleasure...... ;-)

Do you have wws from the fight?
It would be pretty hard to take 3 crushings in a row on curator if you are shield blocking every time it's not on cooldown.
I took a quick look at one of my old wws from that fight and it looks like he hits on average around once every 2 seconds.
I got 6 crushes in the entire fight I looked at and it was on the occasion where he fit 3 attacks in between SB cooldowns. So 2 blocks, and then 1 crush never 3 in a row. Should be next to impossible unless you weren't shield blocking when it was up.
It's possible your healers just weren't paying attention because they are used to healing a tank who takes less damage per hit. You'd need the combat logs to know for sure.

That's enough for 320,000 conventional hybrids with 1.1 kWh packs or 24,000 plug-in hybrids with 15 kWh packs.
If Fisker hits its sales targets of 15,000 cars a year, it could consume most of the planned capacity. A123 plans to watch demand for batteries and add additional capacity as needed. The A123 press release is after the jump.

A123 Systems Announces Additional Capacity Expansion Plans Based on Customer Momentum
WATERTOWN, Mass., Jan. 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A123 Systems (Nasdaq:AONE), a developer and manufacturer of advanced Nanophosphate(TM) lithium ion batteries and battery systems, today announced details related to the further expansion of the company's United States manufacturing capacity.
In December of 2009, A123 closed on its $249 million grant award from the Department of Energy (DOE) and is using the available capital to help fund its capacity expansion plans. A123 ended the third quarter of 2009 with final assembly capacity of 169MW hours per year. A123 announced today that it has begun to make investments in its 300,000 square foot plant in Livonia, Mich. to expand the final cell assembly capacity by up to 200MW hours once fully operational, inclusive of the previously announced 80MW hour expansion.
These investments will expand the company's global final cell assembly capacity to over 360 MW hours, with the incremental 200MW hours of capacity expected to be ready for production during the second half of 2010. The expansion in capacity will provide A123 with the overall ability to produce over 320,000 hybrid vehicles with 1.1 kWh battery systems, or over 24,000 PHEVs with 15kWh battery systems per year. A123 will continue to evaluate additional investments in production capacity in response to anticipated customer demand.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, A123 announced that it signed a lease for a 300,000 square foot facility in Romulus, Mich. A123 announced today that the initial investments in this facility are to establish the company's North American coating operations, and current plans are for the facility to be ready for production during the first half of 2011.
David Vieau, President and Chief Executive Officer of A123 Systems, said, "The combination of proceeds from our recent IPO and funding support from the DOE has provided A123 Systems with the capital necessary to execute against our expansion program. Our strategy is to deploy capital as we see customer demand developing, and we are encouraged by recent developments and the momentum within our overall portfolio of customer relationships across our key target markets. Examples of such activity include today's announcement of a newly established strategic relationship with Fisker Automotive, our recently signed joint venture with SAIC and expansion of our electric grid customer base just to name a few."
Vieau added, "For close to four years, A123 Systems has demonstrated its ability to manufacture advanced lithium ion batteries in scale and at extremely high quality levels, and we are now expanding our capacity to ensure customers and prospects that we can scale with them to meet expected strong demand in the years ahead."
The new facilities in Livonia and Romulus will comprise stages of production from coating and cell assembly to final assembly of complete automotive battery systems. These facilities will provide a diverse set of skilled job opportunities for Michigan's workforce including construction, engineering, sales and marketing, administration and research and development, with initial hiring to begin this year. This expansion in Michigan is a critical part of A123's commitment to build world-class lithium ion battery manufacturing in the United States.

- An old favoriteShawnEatsDined on 10/20/2014Literally an old favorite. My wife and I were the youngest people in the restaurant by 40 years. The food was meh. Kind of bland. Perhaps tailored towards their clientele. I had Salmon Wellington. The hollandaise served with it is an instant mix. My garden salad was on par with something you would eat at a wedding or banquet. We wanted to like it, but Snappers just didn't do it for us. Maybe when we're 80.

We called the manager over but she refused to take the overcooked dish off our bill, stating she already replaced it. So one person went home hungry. we were offered free deserts but we declined.

- UnderwhelmingErasmoVIPDined on 8/30/2014I have dined at Snappers many times and am very disappointed that its excellent quality has suffered a decline. Their wonderful specialty, cedar-planked salmon, is no longer available and the other items on the new menu are definitely run-of-the-mill. Our party had a shrimp dish which was okay - nothing special - and "Chilean" sea bass which was unfortunately paired with onions that were so pungent that they overpowered the taste of the fish; clearly, someone in the kitchen was asleep at the wheel. Snappers is a large restaurant and the staff is friendly and efficient. However, if you're looking for a good seafood meal in the Boynton beach area, you can do better.Special Features:
- Just okJessicaDined on 8/27/2014Been here multiple times. Used to be fantastic and now it's just ok. Service by Lauren was great.
- gf's bday dinnerSFladlandDined on 8/22/2014I made reservations for my girlfriend and I to have dinner here and had requested a private table if there were any available. We arrived a half hour early and we were seated right away at a secluded table and our waitress popped right up. The food came out very fast, the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was FANTASTIC. One of the best seafood spots that I have been to in Palm Beach Co. I will be back for sure!Special Features:
- mealOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Two of our five in the party ordered the halibut special, with asparagus and fresh crabmeat. The meal came with baby shrimp instead, and when we requested the crabmeat, as advertised, it came ice cold....to be put on warm fish. Very disappointing. The waitress was not even aware of the day's special, and we had to go read the board before ordering.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good mealpalmbeachgirlDined on 8/17/2014Have been here multiple times. Never disappointed. The food is always fresh and delicious. Very often recommend to friends, who are also very happy here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good, As UsualDelrayDollVIPDined on 8/9/2014Hubby liked his martini -- I'll get the Pomegrante one next time which looks good. Asked for, and received, the dressing on the side of the caesar salad -- always willing to accommodate. Instead of my usual planked halibut, I had the mushrooms stuffed with spinach/goat cheese and scallops. Yummy. Hope they keep this on the menu! Hubby had his usual Danish lobster tails. Have never been disappointed in our meal.Special Features:
- Always great food and service.slingyDined on 8/2/2014Thanks to open table, we can reserve a table and don't have to wait for one. The food is always delicious and the service is great. Great selection although we love the Danish lobster tails and almost always come here for them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 693 reviews are from the Snappers Seafood reviews archive.
- Always Amazing!Che4Dined on 7/31/2014I always look forward to my trips to Florida because dinner at Snappers is such a treat. The fish is incredibly fresh with an ever changing selection of fishes many which are not offered in the northeast. On this last visit Cobia over roasted vegetables was the special and it was prepared perfectly. Consistency in the preparation of the dishes is a guarantee so any item off the standard menu will not disappoint. The service is always friendly and solicitous without being overbearing. Drew was our server this visit and he was courteous, professional and engaging. I highly recommend a visit to Snappers.Special Features:
- Cedar plank Halibut-wow!VeryTallGuyDined on 7/28/2014Baja Fish Tacos to start was outstanding, shared it and it was plenty, then a garden salad. I had Scallops atop mushroom caps with spinach and feta cheese which was superb. My guest had the Cedar Plank Halibut with sweet potato mash, they stated it was the best they ever had. Overall great experience. My only gripe would be the slow service, granted it was a Monday night and the place was not busy at all. Our server Ashley was courteous and knew the menu very well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and service71bamagirlDined on 7/19/2014I was in Boynton Beach for a conference, and I ate at Snapper's for dinner one night. The food was great, and I had great service. The menu had lots of options. The garlic rolls were to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth a try. Nice neighborhood gem.FoodiesDined on 7/12/2014We were 6 people .The girls love the Danish lobster tails. They were tasty, but so small. It was half the size of a small shrimp. They are usually bigger in size and you get less tails. This time we got more tails, but tiny, tiny. Halibut on the plank was good. All other dishes were good. Salad was fresh and a nice size.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Third visitBobbyDined on 6/28/2014We have only been to Snappers three times and each time the food was great. We have recommended it to others and will definitely go back.Special Features:

An Unfamiliar World
This new work continues my involvement with the geography of Italy and moves from the quarries of Carrara to the city of Rome. It is in some ways a reaction to the 18th century concept of the sublime. When I am at work in the landscape I am constantly reminded of the volatility of this aesthetic approach. How, as an artist, do you make something truthful and attractive without diminishing the experience of contemporary life? My process falls somewhere between attempting the beautiful and accepting the sublime.
These locations all display the forces and irregularities of growth, change and decay due to natural or human causes. While making these photographs I was reminded of two statements that I came across in my readings; one by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus who wrote, " The most beautiful world is like a heap of rubble tossed down in confusion." and the other by the artist Robert Smithson who observed "…the gardens of history are being replaced by the sites of time."

Re: Technical Book Slump
Yes. That is what I am told as well by other authors. In some cases, the
managing editors suspended support work (eg, technical editing) without
notification in the middle of a project. Others paid up on work completed
to date and apologized. How are authors being treated? Considering how
much work is needed to do a thorough job, it must be painful to watch a
book project slide into the sandtrap of current events.
I have heard stories of anything from cancellation (I had one of those after chapters were beginning to be turned in), through postponement, books going through to publication without tech editing. I guess all of those things are due to trying to reduce short term outgoings as you suggest.
Worst scenario at the moment seems to be authors who wrote for Coriolis which is rumoured to be in big financial trouble and apparently isn't paying out royalties. That has hit a few people really hard. I am not sure if XML people are involved in that one.
I would have thought that 9/11 and the subsequent reductions in conference
attendance would have increased the need for books.
Apparently computer book sales were down anything from about 15% to 50%, depending on publisher at the bottom of the dip.
There are signs that sales are beginning to pick up again now. It wouldn't surprise me if some authors who were hit by the slump don't take on any more authoring - it is much simpler to just do regular consultancy, or even take a job. :) You know what work you are doing for what return.

Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- I heard a strange clanking sound this morning in my hotel room overlooking the Ukrainian capital's main square. I carefully opened the balcony door and looked down. A bullet from a sniper rifle was on the floor of the balcony.
Apparently it had ricocheted off the rail.
Soon after, several protesters from Independence Square, known as the Maidan, knocked on my door. They wanted to check to see if any snipers were hiding in my room. The hotel director accompanied them, eager to prove that such things were impossible in his establishment.
Thursday was the bloodiest day in Ukraine's post-Soviet history: Scores of protesters were killed and hundreds were wounded by snipers on Kiev's Independence Square and its nearby streets, according to medical workers treating the victims. Three police were also killed Thursday and 28 suffered wounds, according to the Interior Ministry.
EDITOR'S NOTE -- Yuras Karmanau has covered Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and other ex-Soviet nations for The Associated Press since 2000. He was among the first journalists to witness the carnage in Kiev on Thursday and describes the horrific scene.
Three months of protests against President Viktor Yanukovych had turned into a bloody carnage on the Maidan.
When I walked out into the Maidan, clad in a helmet and a flak jacket, I saw bodies lying on the pavement. Ten in one place, another six a short walk away, five more farther away. The demonstrators were killed with precise shots to their heads or necks, the hallmarks of snipers.
People were gathering around the dead, many of them weeping. Some covered the bodies with Ukrainian flags, others brought Orthodox icons. A priest conducted a remembrance service.
I felt a bit sick. Many of the victims were only in their 30s and 40s, full of energy just a few hours ago.
I kept asking myself: Why are they killing them? The protesters had no firearms that I could see, and snipers could have instead incapacitated them by shooting their feet or arms.
If the government had hoped that the killings would intimidate protesters and force them to leave the Maidan, it was clearly a miscalculation. The carnage only fueled anger and strengthened the demonstrators' determination.
"The price of freedom is too high, but Ukrainians are paying it," said Viktor Danilyuk, a 30-year-old protester. "We have no choice, the government isn't hearing us."
The Mikhailovsky Cathedral, a short walk up the hill from the Maidan, was turned into an improvised hospital complete with a surgery room to treat the victims.
"People who wanted to live in a free Ukraine in Europe got bullets instead," said Petro Shumilin, a 33-year-old demonstrator who was wounded in the arm while carrying away a friend's body.
His eyes were full of tears, both from the loss of his friend and from the pain of getting surgery for his wound.
"This is the result of Yanukovych's rule," Shumilin said. "He's guilty of starting a civil war."
The sniper fire that rang out on the streets of this city of nearly 3 million was something Kiev hasn't heard since the World War II battles between the Soviet Red Army and Nazi forces.
Most of the wounded stayed away from Kiev's hospitals, fearing they would be quickly taken into police custody from there -- something that has happened to many others wounded in the clashes.
The daily demonstrations, which were sparked by anger over Yanukovych's abrupt refusal in November to sign a pact with the European Union in favor of choosing closer ties with Russia, were peaceful at first. Violent clashes with police erupted in January, when at least four people died and hundreds were wounded in street battles that raged for days.
Yanukovych made some concessions and tensions abated for a few weeks, but they flared up again this week after Yanukovych loyalists in parliament refused to trim powers of the presidency as protesters had demanded. As they had in January, protesters assaulted police lines with stones and firebombs, but this time the police response was ferocious.
Earlier during the protests, life in Kiev went on as usual. Streets were full of people doing their daily errands. Stores, restaurants and cafes along the downtown avenue near the Maidan stayed open. The protest camp even became a daily attraction for many residents.
That all changed sharply this week, as clashes between protesters and police turned into urban warfare. The sound of police stun grenades echoed across the Maidan and heavy black smoke from burning tires, which protesters set to block the way to police, filled Kiev's skies.

But understand - National Insurance was a 'demographic timebomb' Ponzi scheme right from the start. It was Made to implode.
Now we have all these old 'demographic timebomb' old folk running about like turkeys looking for their January 1st feed, and its just, not, there.
Whats more, the new young stock are ready to come in and fill the battery cages that are presently being blocked by the old birds now - something has to give.
Surely you can see that?
It will come down to who has the best claim on the assets left over from the bankster's multie-generational looting - the old fattened-up human resaurce turkeys, or the new, ready to be force fed, young lean human resaurce turkeys.
But one thing is not in doubt now.
Jingle bells.

The Manitou Incline was built as a cable car to carry materials to build pipelines on Pikes Peak. After the pipelines were finished, it was turned into a tourist attraction. A rock slide damaged a section of track in 1990, so the Manitou Springs Incline was closed down and the rails removed. Some locals started using it for a tough workout. Until February 2013, a portion of it was private property and it was illegal to hike up the ties of the old cable car. It is known as one of, if not the most popular, hikes in the Colorado Springs area.
Jim Caple of ESPN survived his first attempt of the vertically vicious climb in July of 2012.
For a successful experience, consult your physician, bring plenty of water and energy snacks and be sure you've adjusted to the high altitude of Colorado Springs (6,035 ft). Pace yourself and rest when you need to.
About three-quarters of the way up, the Manitou Incline intersects with Barr Trail and you can take that way back down if you like. Don't be fooled by the false summit. After you crest it, there are still about 300 steps to go. Once you've made it to the top - or rather if you make it to the top - you can either come back down the incline or hike down the bottom four miles of the Barr Trail.
It's a true Colorado workout that is enjoyed by many. If you're inclined, give it a try!
Track your time and rank against other Manitou Springs Incline users and win rewards for completing this tough workout with the Incline App.

For Costco, apocalypse preparedness is big businessOctober 6, 2010 @ 5:16 am (Updated: 1:37 pm - 3/28/11 )
KIRO Radio
Think you'll be prepared when disaster hits? Costco wants to make sure of it. In fact, the company will sell you enough freeze-dried and dehydrated food to keep you going for a whole year.
For a paltry $799.99, you can get 5,011 servings of fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat, or at least "textured vegetable protein" meat substitute, complete with rehydration instructions and recipes.
"The food stores for sometimes up to 20 years on the shelf in sealed cans," said Andrew Hawf, customer service manager for Shelf Reliance, the Utah-based company that makes the "Thrive" line of food storage products.
So is anyone buying this? Costco buyer Mike Dorpat told KIRO-FM sales are in the millions of dollars since the product hit the company's website a year ago.
"You can call it survivalism, you can call it prepping, being a good boy scout, thinking ahead," said Kurt Wilson, who hosts an internet radio show called the "Armchair Survivalist." "In an emergency situation, if everyone is warned, and they take it for real, you have 3 to 4 hours before the stores are out of supplies," Wilson said.
So is a year's worth of food overkill? King County's department of emergency management recommends a 3-day stockpile of non-perishable food, said spokeswoman Lynn Miller.
"That's not enough," said Wilson. "I recommend you have a 3-day supply in the trunk of your car."
But not everyone who buys the kit thinks the end of days is coming. According to Hawf, in these trying economic times, some people just want to be able to feed the family if they lose their jobs. "I know a lot of our customers have that very much in mind as they're planning for the unknown," he said.
And for the unrelenting optimist, "I know a lot of our customers just really love it as snack food," Hawf said.
