Side effects occur when healthy cells are damaged. Different chemotherapy and radiation treatments cause different side effects. Side effects may happen right away, a week to 10 days later, or even months to years later.
In general, the side effects from chemotherapy depend on the type and dosage. Side effects of radiation depend on which part of the body is treated. For example, if the hips receive radiation, only the skin, bone marrow, and hipbone may be affected.

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have announced that they will not recommend candidates to serve on the Independent Payment Advisory Board, the federal health care law's panel of 15 bureaucrats tasked with reducing Medicare costs. In a letter to the president explaining their decision, Boehner and McConnell said they "believe Congress should repeal IPAB" and "hope establishing this board never becomes a reality."
The Board has vast power over the entire health care market to set price controls, levy taxes, and even ration care. In fact, it can propose anything its members determine is "related to the Medicare program." IPAB's proposals automatically become law unless Congress and the president quickly enact a substitute plan with an equal reduction in spending, and the Board's decisions aren't subject to review by administrative judges or courts. To add insult to injury, the Board is virtually unrepealable.
The Goldwater Institute is suing over the constitutionality of the Board, arguing that it is a violation of the Constitution's separation of powers doctrine. Lawmakers are right to call for its demise. But will refusing to recommend board members do the job?
No. While the president must seek recommendations from Congress, the ultimate decision of whom to appoint to the Board is his. And there's no requirement that IPAB be bipartisan. So refusing to participate in the appointment process just gives President Obama more say in the Board's makeup.
Worse yet, stalling member appointments and confirmations may mean no one gets chosen for IPAB. To opponents of the Board, that may sound desirable. But as the Congressional Research Service recently confirmed, if no one is selected to fill the board member slots, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will wield IPAB's powers unilaterally.
While lawmakers should work to repeal IPAB, washing their hands of the appointment process is a step in the wrong direction. When it comes to making health care decisions, the only thing worse than 15 unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats is one unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat.

Energyshare brings people together in person and online to build local renewable energy and efficiency projects.
As well as giving advice and tools to build support online, it also runs the Energyshare fund, giving money to community groups to get renewable energy projects off the ground.
Last year's fund winners, picked by public vote from a shortlist, were Hexham River Hydro, North Devon Hospice, Portobello and Leith Community Wind Energy Project and Shrewsbury Hydro.
Now Energyshare are about to open applications for another round of funding. This time they're aiming at groups who need some start-up cash for things like feasibility studies, legal advice or planning applications. There's five lots of £5,000 and three lots of £2,500 up for grabs, with two different ways to get some cash for your group.
There's five lots of £5,000 and three lots of £2,500 up for grabs.
To go for the £5,000, groups will have to raise £5,000 of their own. Energyshare are making this easy by giving groups free use of their sister crowdfunding site peoplefund.it – groups will just need to record a short video to introduce their project.
The first five to reach £5k will get the match funding, giving them a cool £10,000 for their project. And even if your group isn't one of the lucky winners, if it reaches the magic £5,000 target, it can keep on using the site to raise funds free of charge.
For those who don't feel so confident drumming up support online, projects can be entered for funding of £2,500 simply by filling out an application form with their details. A judging panel made up of members from NESTA, Forum for the Future and British Gas will choose the winners.
Applications for the fund open on April 10th, but groups – and their supporters - can register an interest now on the site to make sure they'll get a heads-up.

Inter signed half a footballer last Tuesday. That is not a comment on the player in question, but simply an honest representation of the facts. Mauro Icardi was acquired from Sampdoria under a co-ownership agreement, meaning that each club now holds 50% of his rights.
To those unfamiliar with Italian transfer dealings, the concept might seem a little baffling. How can two teams share a footballer? Icardi cannot exactly play for Inter and Sampdoria at the same time.
In practice, Italian co-ownership deals operate in much the same way as a loan. The buying team (Inter, in this instance) will acquire the player for one season, using him as they see fit and paying his wages for the duration. At the end of the year, the agreement must either be extended for another 12 months or resolved with one team buying out the other's share.
If an agreement cannot be reached between the teams, the deal will be resolved via silent auction in a process known as 'going to the envelopes' ('andare alle buste'). Each team submits a written bid for the remaining half of the player and whoever comes in highest, wins. The losing team is obliged to accept their rivals' offer.
(In a rather quaint twist, these silent auctions are all resolved over the course of two days at the end of each June in a single Milan hotel. Team executives hand their bids over to representatives of the Italian Football Federation, who act as independent arbiters.)
This process has led to some highly unlikely outcomes. Most famous is the story of Paolo Rossi, who moved from Juventus to Lanerossi Vicenza on a co-ownership deal back in 1976. The striker scored 45 goals over the next two years, helping his new team to promotion from Serie B, and then a remarkable second-place finish in Serie A.
Unable to resolve their co-ownership, the two clubs went to the envelopes. Vicenza's owner, Giuseppe Farina, became so anxious that he wound up going round the dressing room asking his players how much they thought he should pay. The suggested figures averaged out to about 1bn Italian lira (equivalent to $1.15m at the time), but on the eve of the auction, Farina received an anonymous phone call, advising him that Juventus would bid more than twice that amount.
Unwilling to lose such a valuable player, Farina duly scribbled down an offer of 2.6bn lira. Given that the two teams were only supposed to be bidding for half of the player's rights, he was effectively suggesting that Rossi's true value was 5.2bn lira. Or to put it another way: nearly three times the then world transfer record.
Farina was in for a shock. His mystery caller had been lying, and Juventus bid just 875m lira. Vicenza retained Rossi, but at a preposterous cost. The Italian Football Federation's president Franco Carrara resigned in protest at such financial irresponsibility.
It is one thing to make a miscalculation, though, and quite another to fill your bid out incorrectly. That is precisely what happened to Bologna two years ago, when they lost their goalkeeper, Emiliano Viviano, over an administrative error.
To submit a bid in these silent auctions, team officials fill out a standard-issue form supplied by the Italian Football Federation. There is a box in which they must write down their bid, and another in which to state their overall valuation of the player—i.e. the bid figure multiplied by two.
Bologna's then general manager, Stefano Pedrelli, mistakenly wrote his bid for Viviano down in the latter section. Inverting the process, he then halved that number as he went backwards through the form, bidding €2.35m when he had intended to offer €4.7m. Viviano's co-owners, Inter, won the player for €4.1m instead.
Inter can rest easy knowing that there will be no auction for Icardi next year. Written into their deal with Sampdoria is a clause obliging the Nerazzurri to buy the remaining 50% of the player for a pre-determined fee at the end of this season. Inter will pay approximately €6m for the first half of Icardi, and a similar sum to complete their purchase in 12 months' time.
Why would Inter opt for such a peculiar structure to a deal if they know that they are ultimately going to buy the player anyway? The Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, a man well-informed on all things transfer-related, cited ambiguous "bureaucratic motives".
He may have been referring to rules which limit how far a team can spread out its payments. Inter are reported to be splitting that initial €6m into three separate instalments, and will presumably take a similar approach with the remainder next year. Inter recorded losses of more than €70m on their most recent accounts and are finally beginning to recognise the need to monitor their cash flow.
The Nerazzurri already used a similar model to acquire Samir Handanovic in two stages from Udinese. They are not the only ones to see the benefits to such an arrangement; Juventus signed both Mauricio Isla and Kwadwo Asamoah on co-ownership last year. Both players will be back next season, the Bianconeri buying the rest of Asamoah this summer, while extending their deal for Isla by another 12 months.
Still more common, however, are those co-ownership arrangements in which a young player moves from a big team to a smaller one in order to gain experience. Many coaches and players prefer these arrangements over loans, because they give everybody a stake in the player's development.
A team taking a player on loan has no incentive to help him improve unless it will help them to win right away. With a player bought on co-ownership, the scenario is different. Coaches and managers know that there is a chance the player could stay. Even if he does not, it is still in their interests to help him get better so they can charge a higher price when they eventually come to sell.
Sebastian Giovinco's recent history provides a compelling recent example. Although the forward initially joined Parma on loan from Juventus in 2010, there was an option written into that deal allowing the Crociati to take co-ownership for €3m. They duly exercised that right at the end of the campaign, and he went on to score 15 league goals in 2011-12.
Parma sold their half back to Juventus last summer for €11m, netting a handsome profit. In return the Bianconeri had effectively bought two years of development for Giovinco as a full-time starter, an opportunity that he would never have got in Turin. Some fans might question now whether it was really worth their while, but such skepticism is coloured by hindsight.
On top of all those considerations listed so far, there is the straightforward concept of spreading risk. If a €10m player bought on co-ownership for €5m fails to live up to expectations, then the buying team can offload their share without doing irreparable damage to their finances. If the player is a success, then paying an inflated price for the remaining 50% will at least feel like less of a gamble.
Even for those who are familiar with the structure of such deals, the endless cycle of co-ownership trading can get a little dizzying. The experience of following a summer transfer window in Italy was best summed up by the character Commander Borlotti, president of the fictional club Longobarda, in the cult-classic mid-80s Italian comedy L'allenatore nel Pallone (The Manager in the football).
"I've managed to land three quarters of Gentile and seven-eighths of Collovati, plus half of Mike Bongiorno," exclaims Borlotti in one characteristically frenetic outburst. "In conclusion, we've obtained co-ownership of Maradona in exchange for Falchetti and Mengoni."
In the real world, these deals are almost never as complicated as they appear. In Italy, co-ownership can only ever mean holding a 50-50 share, so there are no eighths of players being passed from one club to another. Instead there is a straightforward mechanism which allows two teams to share in an individual's rise or fall. Just like any other kind of transfer, some do it better than others.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, March 4, 2009 CONTACT: George Tzamaras 202-507-7649 firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, DC - Today the House Committee on Homeland Security convened a hearing to examine the 287(g) program, which deputizes local law-enforcement officers to act as immigration enforcement agents. The hearing coincided with the release of a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that confirmed that the program is not being used to target dangerous criminals, and there has not been adequate federal oversight of the local police departments participating in the program.
"Today's hearing and a Government Accountability Office report released today substantiate what community groups and local law enforcement authorities have known for a long time: the 287(g) program just doesn't work. This program creates confusion and mistrust between communities and local law enforcement. It is an expensive and ineffective crime prevention measure that increases the risk of racial profiling, strains local resources, and is unnecessary because local law enforcement already has the authority to fight crime," said Charles H. Kuck, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).
The events of today signal once again the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform that would allow the federal government to take charge of immigration policy at the federal level rather than deputizing state and local officers to do the job of the federal government. AILA looks forward with confidence as the Obama administration develops smarter strategies to bring about fair and reasonable immigration reform.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

Kaleidoscope cupcakes are sweet little colorful treats with an added measure of fun. To achieve this multihued masterpiece the trick is to color the cupcake batter separately. Partially fill the cupcake wrappers and then add the colored batters in whatever design you choose. To finish off the adorable edibles, instead of icing or frosting on top which would hide these cuties, the cakes are split and the frosting is stuck in the middle. Picture perfect!

True to form, Peter Black and James Sheriden could not resist a little dig at social services minister Gwenda Thomas on the EP website for not releasing a critical report into failings at Swansea's children's social services until next month.
We understand that the council's ruling cabinet has two weeks to provide an account of how they plan to get out of the current mess - having failed to make any significant progress in 18 months – and this will be included in the final report to be published in April. Black would have known this himself had he taken the trouble to remain in the plenary session and ask questions of the minister.
You can't blame them for trying to shift the agenda from the huge indictment of their performance in office that a threatened and unprecedented Assembly intervention represents but the spectacle of Swansea's Lib Dems criticising anyone over a lack of transparency really is laughable.
Still no comment from Chris Holley - despite now being back in the country.

How to turn your browser into makeshift movie theater while watching videos [Guide]
Posted By MatthewA On December 16, 2013 @ 12:02 PM In Browsers | No Comments
Modern web browsers have a variety of addons and extensions which you can customize the browser with. Among them is the Turn Off the Lights addon/extension which adds a light bulb button to the browser. This light bulb option adds fading dark to video pages and alternative backgrounds. In other words, it darkens the background that surrounds videos, essentially giving your browser the "move theater" look which you can use while watching videos.
To add the extension to your Opera browser check out this page [1]. From there select the Add to Opera option. Click on Install from the Install Extension window that is then opened. You can also add the extension to other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. This page [2] includes all relevant download links.
For the purposes of this guide, we will focus on the Opera version.
Once the extension is added, a light bulb button should then be included at the top right of the browser's window. If you click on the option when a page without a video is open nothing will happen. Thus, you'll need to open a page with a video on it. Check out this video on YouTube [3].
Right-click the light bulb option, and then select Preferences. That should open the Turn Off the Lights' settings. Make sure the color black option is selected, and set the Opacity bar to 100%. Play the video and press the light bulb button. The rest of the page around the video should darken as in the shot below.
Select the light bulb option to turn the lights back on. Return to the extension settings, and select the Background Image option. With this option you can add background images, such as mountains and theater curtains, to the video page instead. Click on Show More for some thumbnail previews. Select the theater background, and return to the video page. When you click on the light bulb option, theater curtains will then be added to the video background.
There are more customization options that you can select. Return to the extension setting options, and then click on the Dynamic Background option. That should open some thumbnail previews for additional effects such as fish tank bubbles. Select the Fish Tank dynamic background, and then click on the video page tab. Select the light bulb option again to add the bubbles to the theater background.
This Opera extension will switch off the lights and add alternative backgrounds to video pages. It's a great extension for Opera which turns the browser into a makeshift theater!

Wow! D'Angelo is that you? This is far cry from where the fallen R&B star was when he was arrested in 2006 for trying to solicit sex from a female officer. D'Angelo has seemed to got himself together and ready to reclaim his spotlight. He has fought [and is still fighting] is way out of addiction and is focused again on his music. GQ magazine got upclose and personal with D'Angelo and he opened up about Angie Stone, Madonna, his substance abuse and more.
Check out excerpts from D' Angelo's interview with GQ Magazine:
On his brief stint in rehab: "I went in under a fake name so people wouldn't know who I was, right? So, you know, Michael never got treatment. It was this other character that was in there. And the moment I left, I went straight to the fucking liquor store."
On being charged in 2006 with solicitation after offering a female undercover police officer $40 for a blow job: "It was just me making a stupid decision, a wrong turn, on the wrong night." He adds, "I'm not the role-model motherfucker. Look at all the shit that I've been in."
Angie Stone on her former lover and father of her son: "I knew a superstar was on the rise. There was an innocence there that if we weren't careful was going to get trashed. It's not a little bit of God in him. It's a lot of God in him. Sometimes when you have that much power, Satan works tenfold to break you."
On escaping advancements from Madonna: When Madonna turned 39, she asked him to sing "Happy Birthday" at her party. One press report had her sitting on his lap and French-kissing him. In fact, two sources say that ultimately D rebuffed her advances at another gathering not long after. At that event, the sources say, Madonna walked over and told a woman sitting next to D, "I think you're in my seat." The woman got up. Madonna sat down and told him, "I'd like to know what you're thinking." To which D replied, "I'm thinking you're rude."
On the good/bad of being a sex symbol: "One time I got mad when a female threw money at me onstage, and that made me feel fucked-up, and I threw the money back at her," he says. "I was like, 'I'm not a stripper.' "
On escaping the spotlight after his last tour (Voodoo): "When I got back home, yeah, it wasn't that easy to just be," he says. "I think that's the thing that got me in a lot of trouble: me trying to just be Michael, the regular old me from back in the day, and me fighting that whole sex-symbol thing. You know: 'Hey, I ain't D'Angelo today. I'm just plain old Mike, and I just want to hang out with my boys and do what we used to do.' But, damn, those days are fucking gone."
On kicking his bad habits: "Any person who's dealt with substance abuse, it's an ongoing thing. That's the mantra—one day at a time—right? So you're going to have good days and bad days, but for the most part, I have a grip on it." He feels the forces of good are on his side now. "I don't know why it didn't happen sooner. It's just the way Yahweh ordained it."

I will be looking for yellow columbine seed. I don't know if you have that color, Leisa. I just checked my Jacob's Ladder, but the seeds are still green and attached. That and purple columbine and orange columbine are the only things that are anywhere near ready for me. Hmmm...I wonder if my wood hyacinth has any seeds I could collect. I notice the foliage dying back. Back to the garden in the rain to check.... |

Leisa, I hope to collect dianthus, too. We should post on the seed saving forum. |

I collected and spread Sweet William and Columbine seed today. Still waiting on the Dame's Rocket. I scattered several hundred seeds all over the yard in nearly every bed that would be ideal for these plants in terms of shade and drainage. I need to spread the love around for more late spring blooms. The daffodils need something to hide in. Spreading seeds now is what nature does. I'm planning to sow just a few containers this summer from collected seeds to try and get a head start on next year. When it comes to collecting Sweet William, I just use a deep plastic bowl and shake the seed heads into it. I was amazed at the number of seeds from just a few flower heads. The Columbine is easy too, just snap off the seed pod and gently crush it into the bowl. |
So far ive collected a decent amount of Caltha (marsh marigold) seeds, and im keeping an eye on all the columbines and Uvularia for their seeds to ripen. I have a much better idea this year of what im doing, and am collecting a lot more for trades- I dont have room for a lot of these kinds of things, but i know someone out there will really appreciate them! |
I've collected columbine, larkspur, nicotinia, petunia and salvia. I haven't checked them but may have cosmos and penstemon ready. I have dried flower heads on my yarrow but don't collect them. |
I am watching both columbine and perennial Alyssum (gold)and also veronica. But they all just stopped blooming so I have a little bit of a wait. |
I collected silene (now thanks to WS ers I know what it is) next columbine! My ws plants from last year bloomed well! I did not ws any colubine this season but I will next year. I had some nice purple and pink plants. I love them and it seems the animals are leaving them alone for now. Karen |

I'll have to take a look around the garden for ripe seed. So far I see pods are developed on the Dicentra and Aquilegia but not ripe yet. Digitalis is almost finished blooming. And poppies just opened so those won't be far behind. I'm going to let the Digitalis drop where they are. I found that my aquilegia had more in a blue color germinate then others, so I've deadheaded those so I won't get more and I want to encourage the pinks and white more. I enjoy this thread because I usually forget something until I see someone else mention it. Thanks for thinking of it. |

Nothing yet to collect here but the Allyssum Basket of Gold is setting seed as are the Pulsatillas. I will be starting very soon. I just cleared out all the old seed stash so everything will be fresh this year. :O) |
I have a few seeds from my salvia officinalis, which bloomed on my apt deck. In the yard, the Japanese maple has some seeds on it which I am eying - they don't look ready yet, but I am hoping to nab them when they are. Around the apt complex, in the wild area there are a few wild alliums - not sure what exactly - that I'm hoping to grab seeds from. |
- Posted by prairiemoon2 zone 6a/MA (My Page) on Sun, Jun 6, 10 at 10:43
drippy, my Japanese Maple self seeded all around that side of the yard. I didn't have to collect or sow them. [g] I have no idea why this year when I've had the tree for almost 12 years and I don't remember ever seeing a seedling before. |
The peonies have seed pods, but they're still green, and the lilac seeds are also green, so I'm waiting on both of those. |
Not much here, other than Canadian Columbine, Pulsatilla and Grape Hyacinth. It's been raining way above average and pods aren't drying. |

I've collected one (that's right, one) seed from my bleeding heart plant. I've been watching the seed pods but apparently not watching them closely enough, LOL. I hope I will have better luck with the yellow foxglove (d. grandiflora) and penstemon "rondo" that I hope to get seeds from. I also have some tall white foxglove blooming that I think will provide seeds for me and 100 of my closest friends. The bees have been busy. |

Prariemoon I also enjoy this thread it was one of my favorites last year. Though I do not remember who created it. My eyes just got big round when I would read everything everyone was collecting. Leisa, token had a great idea on how to collect the seeds. I still have blooms on some of my dianthus but as I am standing over it I can still see the black seeds just waiting to either drop or to be collected. Where the bloom was will just kind of open up and act as a little cup and inside will be all the tiny black seeds. And token one day I will get that name of that salvia right it is salvia blue bedder. I plan to either get me a memory card for my phone and take a pic that way or get some batteries for my camera to take a pic. |
My first WS bloom ever- Borage! And im already excited to gather the seeds from them. Seems that i will also get a few seeds from my solomon seal's, jack-in-the-pulpits, and trilliums. Parsley is also about to flower, so im keeping my eye on that too. Farmers markets are starting soon too- and this year i am going to save seeds from any interesting variety's of fruits/veggies i can find! Its only june... this totally spells trouble. |

HERE reference libraries for Google Maps Android API v1 and v2 have been designed to minimize the porting effort from corresponding Google Maps versions. We also provide an option to deploy one APK, supporting both Google Maps v1/v2 and corresponding HERE reference libraries. Please note that the HERE reference libraries pre-bundled to Nokia X services SDK have been designed to require separate APK deployment for HERE reference libraries users. For those looking to deploy only one APK for maps enabled apps, we provide HERE reference libraries using an alternate namespace configuration.
Before you start implementing the application, please make sure that you have fulfilled all the prerequisites described here.
The steps for the porting are as follows:
The one APK HERE wrapper libraries are requiring the minimum SDK to be set at minimal to 10, thus make sure the uses-sdk tag is specifying the minSdkVersion to be set to 10.
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
HERE Maps API requires certain permissions to be set which are not required by Google Maps API, thus to make sure that the API works as expected, you need to make sure the following permissions are included in the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
HERE Maps require OpenGL and GPU, so make sure you have OpenGL ES 2.0 usage declared in the manifest file:
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />
In addition, either the whole application or the activity using maps needs to have property android:hardwareAccelerated set true:
<application ... android:hardwareAccelerated="true">
Within the <application></application> block of tags, add the following library:
<uses-library android:name="com.here.android" android:required="false" />
All applications using HERE API must have a valid application ID (app ID) and application token (app token). See here how to obtain these. Once you have acquired the app ID and token, insert them within the <application></application> block of tags:
<meta-data android:name="com.here.android.maps.appid" android:value="YOUR ID" /> <meta-data android:name="com.here.android.maps.apptoken" android:value="YOUR TOKEN" />
Replace the YOUR ID and YOUR TOKEN strings with the appropriate credentials for your application.
Before beginning the steps for importing the library, do ensure that the Nokia X services SDK has been successfully installed on your development environment by inspecting the <Android SDK path>/add-ons directory.
Do also note that there are separate libraries provided for Google Maps v1 and v2, and the steps for importing them are also different, thus follow either or both of the instructions depending on which API version(s) you are using with your application.
To import the Wrapper library for Google Maps v2, do the following:
To import the Wrapper library for Google Maps v1, do the following:
For the HERE Maps implementation you need to create any layouts that would be used in different classes in which maps APIs are used. The steps for creating the layouts are as follows:
With layout and ID naming you should use some consisting way (for example, add "_here" after the name) to make it easier to use them with the class implementation, as well as to minimize accidental mistakes.
Also with the class naming you should use some consisting way (for example, add "_here" after the name) to minimize accidental mistakes.
The last part of the porting would be to add the selection logic for selecting the implementation to be used on runtime, based on which API is available in the current running environment. The recommended way to achieve this would be to simply check whether the HERE Maps library is present in the environment. If it is, then use the HERE implementation, and if it is not, then go with the original implementation.
The actual full implementation of the logic would depend on the implementation to be ported, thus the code here is shown as an example to illustrate the usage in one scenario.
Let's assume that there is MapsFragment.java and MainActivity.java. In MainActivity.java we can use the following code:
private static final String HERE_LIBRARY = "com.here.android"; private boolean hasHere() { String[] systemSharedLibraryNames = getPackageManager().getSystemSharedLibraryNames(); for (String library : systemSharedLibraryNames) { if (HERE_LIBRARY.equals(library)) { return true; } } return false; } protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Fragment fragment = null; if (hasHere()) { fragment = new MapsFragmentHere(); } else { fragment = new MapsFragmentGoogle(); } getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.map, fragment).commit(); }
Note: The same approach can be used with activities, if fragments are not used.
Sample apps called "Maps V1 One APK" and "Maps V2 One APK" are available in GitHub. These apps demonstrate a single APK that uses the Google Maps, as well as the HERE reference libraries.
To build and run the sample application with Google Maps v2 (Maps V2 One APK), follow these steps:
Video: One APK solution with both HERE Maps and Google Maps v2
To build and run the sample application with Google Maps v1 (Maps V1 One APK), follow these steps:
Video: One APK solution with both HERE Maps and Google Maps v1

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

Preventing a Last-Second Tax Disaster
April 15, 2009
Today is a day of panic for millions of Americans. Today is April 15th or "Tax Day". For households who are just now realizing that their checking account or savings account lacks the funds in it to pay their tax bill, viable options remain. What you can't do is procrastinate and not file your return. If you don't have the money to pay your tax bill today here are some options:
(1) Borrow - It's pretty late in the day to formalize a loan, but you can use social lending sites to formalize loans with friends, family, or even strangers to come up with the money to pay your tax bill. Social lending sites allow borrowers to set up the parameters of their loan and will track repayments to lenders. Setting up a loan can be done quickly and securely. Even better, the rates from social lending sites can also be very competitive. It's never fun to ask to borrow money, but a social lending site will make it easier.
(2) Credit Card - The IRS will allow you to make a payment on your tax bill with a credit card through authorized payment processing companies. The payment is processed immediately and efficiently, but you will be charged a 2.49% fee based on the amount of your tax bill. Of course, you will also have to contend with the credit card balance remaining on the account and getting charged interest as well. Some credit cards will offer rewards for all purchases (including tax bill payments), so it is important that you pick the credit card that offers you the best rebates, cash-back, rewards, or gifts for making payments.
(3) Installment Plan - You can tell the IRS that you don't have the money to pay your tax bill and request to enter an installment payment plan. This involves filing extra forms, paying at least a $105 fee, and then making regualr payments to the IRS. This option can be cheaper than borrowing money and paying a lender, but it also involves more time to set up and more involvement with the IRS. Check the IRS website for more information.
If you or someone you know has a tax bill that you can't pay, consider the most economical option listed above. The goal has to be file your return with a payment or a plan with the IRS. Get this year out of the way and maybe next year will be less stressful.

"It's a good start for a new year," proclaimed coach Rusty Brewer after his Wildcats held off a late charge by Sweetwater for a 51-44 victory. "They made a couple of runs and we were able to weather the storm, (and) knocked down some buckets to not give up the lead.
"We struggled the first part of the season, but hopefully we've turned over a new leaf," commented coach Johnny Hayes as his Wildkittens have a three-game winning streak after a 55-17 "mercy-rule" thumping of winless Sweetwater. "We played a good all-around game both offensively and defensively. This is a step in the right direction but we have a tough row coming up."
With both squads now 5-11 on the season and 1-2 in district play, Polk will host archrival McMinn Central Tuesday and look for some revenge on district foe Sequoyah Friday.
The Boys from Benton held Sweetwater (3-12, 0-3 District 5-AA) scoreless for the first 5 1/2 minutes Friday while pumping in the game's first seven points, including a bucket from the lane and a long-range bomb from junior Cody Groomes to open the game's scoring.
After Chandler Hutcheson and Derrick Weber both put in a basket from the paint, Polk stretched its advantage to eight points when Hutcheson drained a 3-ball in the final minute of the opening frame.
Sweetwater fought back to pull within three points of the lead when Polk started the second period with a trio of turnovers and four missed shots, but coach Brewer's crew got back on track with back-to-back treys by Weber and senior Evan Ball to push back up by a half dozen at the intermission.
The visitors once again pulled within striking distance with a 3-pointer to open the second half, but Weber answered with six straight Polk points to widen the gap and later in the period drained another bomb from beyond the arc to put the hosts up by double digits.
In the final eight minutes, Sweetwater was able to trim the deficit to just three points on three different occasions but that was as close as the visitors would come as Polk held them at bay each time. Ball hit a key four-point play with 4:53 left to help drive the nail into the coffin.
Weber led the victors with 18 points and a half dozen rebounds, while Groomes netted 13 markers, including 4-of-6 shooting from the free-throw line down the stretch.
Ball helped out with a half dozen points and five assists, with Richmond netting eight points. Hutcheson finished with five points and copped four steals.
"We were without Devin Weber, who injured his foot up at Towns County (Ga.) in the Battle of the States tournament last week, but we had several other guys step up and play well," praised coach Brewer. "We told the guys before the game that tonight will affect us in February in the district tournament seedings. Every district game is important. We responded well to the challenge."
Wildkittens 55
Lady Wildcats 17
In the girls' game, the Polk offense put 27 points on the board before the visitors found the bottom of the net on a shot from the field.
Coach Hayes' squad drilled five shots from either side for the 19-foot arc while the lone Sweetwater point in the game's first 15 minutes came on a free throw 45 ticks into the second period.
The visitors were able to drop in a pair of shots from the lane in the final minute of the opening half, but a 3-pointer by Isabella Liner made it a 25-point halftime advantage for the hosts.
Things were tighter after the break as Polk held just an 11-9 advantage during the third period, before the Wildkitten onslaught continued in the final frame with a 14-1 run that forced a running clock for the game's final three minutes.
Eight players got into the scoring column for Polk with Emily Wilson draining four 3-pointers and hitting all four of her free throws for a game-high 16 points. She also grabbed five rebounds, dished out five assist and swiped a pair of steals.
Riley Hatcher helped out with 10 points, including a pair of treys, three caroms, three helps and a couple of steals in less than three quarters of play for the victors.
Rosa Haynes added nine points, snatched four boards, dished out a pair of "dimes" and grabbed two steals.
Heather McLain hit 2-of-3 shots from the field, plus 3-of-4 free throws for seven points, while Liner also went 3-for-4 at the stripe to go along with her trey for a half dozen.
Makayla McClary cleaned the glass for five ricochets, while Rachel Epperson pulled down four for the home team.
As a whole, the Wildkittens hit eight shots from either side fo the arc out of 50 total attempts, while Sweetwater made just 5-of-46 shots (11 percent).
"We were able to get a lot of players on the court tonight and they did well," coach Hayes commented. "We executed our offense really well in the first half, plus I was proud to see our defense pick it up. We gave up just 17 points on the night, so you can't ask more than that."

Maybe you're curious about the title. Let me explain it in a brief and short way: with Ruby already installed on Mac, you can install a ruby script to grab Quote of the Day into your Terminal.
Perhaps it sounds difficult for you, but actually it's really easy. Everyone can definitely do it.
Here are the steps:
- Download this Ruby Script
- Put that file into your Home folder
- Open your Terminal and type vim ~/.bash_profile
- Press character I to go to Insert Mode and insert ruby quote_of_the_day.rb into the end of the file
- Quit Insert Mode by pressing Escape key
- Type :wq to save the changes to the file and exit vim mode
- Relaunch your Terminal and now you should be able to see the quote of the day
You will never know what will happen before you try it.
You will never understand what has happened before you apply it.
This post is the contribution of James. Thanks a lot for his nifty trick.
