I have been taking Lyft "Line" around and it's sweet.. They take you just about anywhere for $5. Yes, you have to stop and pick someone else up or drop them off usually but it's so damned cheap! This is one of those too good to be true things that will only last till the end of the tech bubble. Reminds me of getting Kozmo.com to deliver a snickers bar to your door during the last bubble.
Performance hasn't increased that much over the last couple of years. Mainly power consumption and die size decreased and GPUs have been integrated, most laptops come with SSDs, but other than that things just aren't that much faster. It's not like the late 90s where you went from a Pentium 66mhz to 3ghz in practically no time.
Not all power use is residential. Something like an aluminum smelting plant can use 200MW of energy, so they would run at peak capacity during the day when costs were lower and take capacity off line at night.

What causes the emotion of happiness? Serotonin? Dopamine? Endorphins? But what do these chemicals do except trigger receptor sites or cause further chemical reactions. What is being modulated to create that emotion? Is it an EEG pattern in the brain perhaps that modulates something else? The experience of consciousness is still a mystery...
It seems like Chrome OS already won the usability contest and has had significant commercial success. It's funny because Chrome OS is so easy to use and polished that even techies assume it's not linux. Just flip a switch though and you've got a bash shell and you can install an Ubuntu system on top of it.
Here's an example of a guy easily turning these $199 chrome books into ubuntu based coding machines:
30 years after the original 1984 commercial the rebels have been co-opted and are now partnering with big brother. That would make a great commercial: "2014".

It seems like if there's one issue that rich people all over the world are throughly obsessed with, it's population control. It's all wrapped up with the future being dominated by visions of eco-doom (e.g Global Warming/Overpopulation/Peak Oil). Nobody can see a different future. It's pathetic.
Why don't you just get an AGM Battery. These batteries don't emit hydrogen, don't require watering and won't cause problems if they tip over. Sure they're more expensive, but they're so much easier to work with.

What are they going to do when they find out it doesn't work for smart people or people who make conscious decisions to alter their behavior based on their own research? They will just be ignored as outliers because they don't fit in to the statistical modeling. How does the machine learning algorithm model a learning human unless it knows where they're going before they do? What if people inside the model start computing social interactions based on a different model? Do we prohibit these people from evolving their behavior because they don't live inside the machine's conception of how they should act?
If you look at the heatmap of downtown San Francisco and you click off Apple you'll see that there are plenty of android users in wealthy areas. The apple red just blocks you from seeing the android blue underneath. So IMHO, Android has a lot of wealthy users but Apple only has wealthy users.

We assume the numbers will swell again later in the evening after the young ones have freshened up and out in their evening attire - the women anyway. The bar staff told Craig it was a ten minute walk back to our hotel area.

BoA/ML predicts a 0.7 pct structural budgetary surplus, which means that the 3.8 pct GDP-ratio deficit is mostly generated by interest rates and capital redemptions emitted by the state, rather than the difference between basic spending and revenues.

Government to Spend HUF 2 Billion to Create and Preserve Jobs in 2010 January 14, 2010 The government will spend HUF 2 billion (EUR 7.49 million) in Labor Market Fund resources on job creation and job preservation in 2010, Ministry of Social and Labor Affairs State Secretary Gábor Simon said. The government has earmarked HUF 1.5 billion in support for investments creating an estimated 1,400 jobs, a further HUF 200 million for high added-value investments, projected to create 250 new jobs and HUF 444 million for a program creating 600 new telecommuting jobs. The government has allocated HUF 500 million in job-preservation funds aimed at safeguarding 3,500-4,000 jobs, Mr Simon said. In 2009 the government utilized HUF 2.5 billion in Labor Market Fund resources for job preservation and creation, including HUF 555 million in support for 251 companies to create 2,296 new jobs, Mr Simon noted.

One member, Tamás Bánfi, voted to reduce the base rate to 6.00. Council members agreed that previous decisions on interest rate and comments on interest rate policy had made it obvious that, in view of the outlook for inflation, it was justified to continuously reduce interest rates, which the MNB was implementing gradually.

Hello I'm Luke,
I like worldly things and worlds and things. Laid back but not lazy, misty but not hazy.
Luke has completed online and offline ID verification.
Learn more »
Cosy, clean and affordable. Would recommend to a friend.
Thank you Luke!
Luke was out of town when I was there but his partner, Noa, was around to get me settle in the apartment. The room was warm and cozy with a nice view of the streets. Everything was okay as I was out most of the time, though it was very unfortunate that the Wifi was down when I was there so I have got to go the cafes downstairs for internet. Luckily, the cafes were all just few mins walk away!
I've spent a bit over a month living with Luke and Noa and a had a really good time staying there. They're help- and respectful hosts as well as interesting, easy-going people to talk to.
With the tube around the corner and the gym in the ground floor of the building, the location couldn't have been any better for me.
Would definitely recommend this place.
The room is nice and Luke has helped me a lot in my journey.
Noah and Luke were great hosts. Their apartment was within walking distance from many restaurants, and the picadilly line was steps away. The room is small but will suffice for one person. It was ideal for my short stay!
The flat of Luke is in a very nice location near underground with everything you need (good wifi, good bed and kitchen stuff) and a cute cat. I recommend it for anyone staying in London
I had a nice time staying with Luke and Noa for 3 weeks and I thank them for being very attentive and helpful hosts! I recommend their flat to anyone who likes staying in a cozy and quiet place. The location was great as well, there's a tesco right downstairs, many shops around and the tube is just 2 minutes away :)
Lovely room in a lovely flat with lovely people and a lovely cat! Fantastic location - 2 mins from Tube station and bus stop, Tesco right downstairs, and lots of interesting shops and cafes a short walk away. The building is really secure, and although the bed wasn't the comfiest I've slept in it was more than sufficient and I slept like a log every night! Luke and Noa are friendly and easy going, and their home reflects their eclectic vintage tastes. I can highly recommend staying here.
Luke's place is REALLY convenient... It's 2 stops from St Pancras, maybe 100 meter from the tube station. Luke and Noa explained to me everything I needed to know to feel welcome in their place.
The place is very calm, no sound at all during the night which is very pleasant. It's not the most luxurious place, but it's really ok.
My only regret is that I had a very busy week-end, so I didn't get a chance to catch up with Luke and Noa :( My bad ! I'm sure they're very friendly from the few contacts we had, and I hope to hear about the cool things to do next time ?
Thank Olivier - hope to see you again soon!
The room was perfect for what I needed. A cheap place close to King's Cross station for an early train. The apartment is located around the corner from the underground Piccadilly line 2 stops from King's Cross. It was clean and secure and very quiet at night.
I would definitely recommend this place to stay
No problems, great guest's amd always welcome! :)
Great host, to recommend to all the best places. he is kind, sociable and available. The apartment was clean and he was respectfull of the place. Hope to see you again to Montpellier. Host highly recommended.
It was a pleasure to host Luke and Noa. They are nice, easy going and respectful guests. You're welcome back anytime!
Luke and Noa were nice and uncomplicated guests, with easy communication, even if I didn't see them much. Would certainly welcome them again.
It was my pleasure to meet and to host Luke and Noa. They are very nice and quiet people and very interesting conversation partners.
I would be glad to host them again and strongly recommend to have them as guests!
Luke and Noaa - nice young couple- and it was pure pleasure to host them.thay know to thank and to appreciate .thay keep the
house rules and leave the room clean and fixed.We warmly recommend to host them all over the world.
Nice guests
I didn't met Luke by myself cause I went to out of town. Luke was very nice guy and very easy to communicate. he came to pick the key on time and my massager bring the key to him :) when he leave he cleaned my room like new. thank you so much. hope to see you next time ^^
Of course I recomend Luke. Great host. Thank you for the preference.
See you!
Luke was a great guest. It was a pleasure hosting Him and his wife. - Milenko
Luke is a trustworthy, intelligent,articulate,sociable person.
A competent organiser-well informed and motivated to source the different and unusual, interesting and varied: he is sensitive to others needs and preferences.
- widely travelled- funded and arranged trips independently.
During my Thailand trip Luke ensured I felt secure and safe, providing a well researched itinerary to suit my interests.
I recommend Luke,without reservation, to other Airbnb members as mine excellent host.
Very trustworthy, interesting man, who'll be no trouble to you at all
He certainly makes a good cup of tea.

So, I got my old tablet back from a friend(we swapped tablets, he got the newer one with horrible sensitivity since he only uses it for Osu!). The old one has excellent sensitivity, but I found out it wasn't working anymore. When I pressed on the pen, I learned something annoying. The top half comes off, exposing the electronics and making pressure impossible to put onto it.
I pulled the sucker apart, and found out a couple more annoyances. The copper wire wrapped around the pen-nib holder seems to be getting old, something I can't change, but it's not really a problem. The back button for right-click isn't functional at all, thanks to the entire part coming off, meaning I can't do right clicks with it. I thought this was workable, until I saw it didn't have a spring.
Most tablet pens utilise some for of spring action on the pen-nib, so it can't take pressure based on the tightness of the spring. This time, there wasn't one. So, I tried cannibalizing a spring from an old push pen we had lying around, but I couldn't make it fit properly. I gave up hope of using sensitivity(I discussed making the comic without sensitivity, which would be pretty difficult given most linework looks better with weight), until I plugged in the tablet a little bit ago. The computer wouldn't recognize it, so I restarted. No dice. Now this got me worried. I mean, I understand a pen not working, but the entire tablet? C'mon. To make a short story abnormally longer than it needed to be and than summarize, here's the result. I got the tablet working again, found out it didn't need a spring(thank goodness, but now that poor old pen..), and restarted the service, which for some reason the computer didn't think of doing from the outset. Lo and behold, the sensitivity works again! This means I can finally start drawing fully again, now that I have the old hopefully-reliable.

The sugar shack was fantastic, great location and great setting! Kelly and Kim were extremely generous and helpful hosts and we felt so welcome. The house and their farm were charming, surrounded by tropical trees and full of life. Geckos and mongoose, tree frogs and birds trilling at night, the sweetest little cat wandering the grounds and their lovely dogs when they are on property.
The location was great, removed from the main tourist hub and very close to some of the best snorkeling at Two Step and Captain Cook and a good variety of both fine dining and inexpensive local eateries. For cooking at home the kitchen was well stocked with implements plus a grill and full grocery only 2 miles away. The bed was comfortable, the hardwood floors were beautiful, the shower is lovely. Clean and spacious accommodations for 2.
If you are looking for somewhere less touristy and full of character and charm I can't recommend it enough. There is another similar rental on the property and the people we met were repeat visitors, as we will be next time we are on the big island!
Our little family had a great time at the sugar shack. You have nice restaurants around, grocery stores are nearby and it is not too far to the beaches (you need a car!). The cottage is well equipped to have home made meals and you can enjoy them on a wonderful terrace surrounded by trees. We dont like big hotels and too touristy sites. That is why this was a perfect, private place for us for a really good price. Kelly and Kim are very gentle and welcoming people and fun to talk to. They even provided us with a wonderful baby bed for our little one and with fresh fruits and vegetables from their farm. Delicious!
Just be prepared to stay at a working farm and only 200 m from Hwy 11. So there is some noise but which wasnt too bothering for us.
We had a wonderful time!
This is the best place we've stayed at in a dozen Airbnb experiences. Kelly and Kim were great hosts and the space had all the right amenities. Location provided easy access to great snorkeling. We'd definitely stay here again!
We met Kelly and her daughter upon our arrival and were welcomed like old friends.
The Sugar Shack is very charming , comfortable and very well equipped. Being surrounded by limes, lemons, avocadoes, papayas, coffee and macadamias made for a truly tropical experience.
Kelly was readily available by text to answer any and all of our questions.
The location, just south of Kona, made for easy access to surrounding beaches and other sites.
We would highly recommend staying here.
We arrived late in the evening. Kelly had arranged for a great big basket of fresh fruit for us for the first morning. Wonderful. She came and greeted us the first morning with a great big 'Aloha".
Kelly was great in helping us get orientated and answering any questions we had.
The shack was comfortable, clean and perfect for us. The fresh fruit all around us was wonderful, and it was different being serenaded by the frogs chirping every night.
A great place to stay, nice and cool in the evenings at the higher altitude and not too far from town.
I had a great time staying at the Sugar Shack while attending a freediving camp in Hawaii. The shack was clean, decorated beautifully and had everything needed for an enjoyable stay while on the Big Island. If you are like me and would rather vacation in a more "private" situation as opposed to being surrounded by tourists at a resort, then check into one of Kelly and Kim's "shacks". Location wise the shack was perfect for me. I needed to be a Honaunau Bay every morning (10 minute drive), and at various locations between Captain Cooke and Kona throughout my 10 day stay. I think you get quite a bit for your dollar here plus there is the extra bonus of being visited by Pong the cute little kitty who patrols the grounds. I'm going to miss the the Coqui frogs serenading me to sleep in the tropical paradise of Hawaii every night.
Мы провели незабываемые 2 недели в доме Кена и Келли. Очень гостеприимные хозяева, в доме чисто, достаточно кухонного оборудования, чтобы готовить себе еду. Дом окружен лесом и даже днем в нем не жарко, а ночью даже прохладно. Всем рекомендую!
"We spent a memorable two weeks in the house. and Ken Kelly. Very hospitable hosts. The house is clean. Enough kitchen equipment to cook your own food. The house is surrounded by forest and even in the daytime it is not hot, and at night even cool. Would recommend!" The Bogdanovs.
Thank-you both for your interest and stay with us. Best of luck and happy travels, Kelly and Kim

The H-1B Professional and Specialty Immigration Process.
We are rapidly approaching the April 1st deadline for the filing for new H-1B visas for the 2009 to 2010 Fiscal Year (FY 09-10). H-1B Petitions for FY 09-10 must be received by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), Citizenship and Immigration Services ("CIS") on April 1st, 2009. If you do not begin to make preparations as early as possible then you and your prospective H-1B employer will be unable to secure an H-1B (subject to the cap) for the October 1st, 2009 start date. Unless Congress acts immediately to increase the quota of 65,000 visas (plus and additional 20,000 for those with Masters Degrees from U.S. Academic Institutions), the allotted number of H-1B visas are likely to be taken on the very first day that the petitions may be filed. This is what happened last year and it is presently anticipated that the same thing is going to happen next year.
The H-1B is Going to be a Lottery because of Demand.
Last year during the "run on H-1Bs" many people did not receive the visa because the petitions were not filed in a timely manner. Other cases were not "properly filed" (defined in the CIS regulations) and were incomplete or deficient in some way and they were therefore not approved even though they were filed in a timely manner. If petitioners fail to properly meet each one of the regulatory filing requirements, then the petition may not be considered "properly filed" and may be returned. There are a few things that prospective H-1B employers and H-1B employees can do to improve the likelihood that the H-1B will be accepted by the CIS. First, be sure that all of the appropriate documentation is contained in the H-1B petition. Second, be sure that the H-1B is submitted to the CIS in a timely manner. Third, be sure that the H-1B is sent to the proper CIS Service Center for adjudication.
What are the Alternative to Avoid the H-1B Visa Process
Most importantly, H-1B petitioners should consider the possibility of utilizing filing multiple H-1B petitions. Be advised that the CIS issued guidance concerning multiple H-1Bs. Filing a master's H-1B and bachelor's H-1B is not considered a multiple H-1B filing. Many organizations have layers and layers of subsidiaries and affiliates (different organizations with different Employer Identification Numbers) and there appears to be nothing yet in the regulations to preclude the use of those organizations as vehicles for additional H-1Bs. With each H-1B submitted, there is a statistically higher chance of one of the H-1Bs being able to "win" the lottery. What is your H-1B back-up plan? First consider trying to obtain an H-1B with a cap-exempt organization. Academic institutions of higher education can make petitions for the H-1B with no regard to the cap. Also, many may qualify for alternative visas to the H-1B. For example, in 1991, the law carved the O, P Q and R visa categories out of
What is your H-1B Back-Up Plan? Look North to Canada.
The most common reason for H-1B applications to be returned is that too many are received for the number of available H-1B slots. Most foreign nationals invest all their energies in the H-B process without thinking of what they will do if they don't make the quota. It is recommended that H-1B applicants set up an "immigration back-up plan." Canada offers a viable alternative to those seeking entry in the U.S. and not accepted for an H-1B visa. What many do not realize is that foreign nationals who are presently in the U.S. can make an application for Canadian permanent residence before, or while, they file for and await an H-1B determination. There is nothing to prevent applying for entry to both countries at the same time. Under the Canadian Immigration Regulations, there is a special provision to allow a foreign national to apply to enter Canada directly from the U.S. - without returning to their home country - as long as that person has been lawfully admitted to the U.S.

Another Unbelievable Install
I read Fuffy Bunny,s post about an un believable install he encountered. I ran into one last year and posted about it here but since reading his I will repost my experience. I am a retired hvac tech once owned the shop but is now run by son and grand son, I help out ocassionally when things get rushed. A year or so back we got a call after a heavy electrical storm stating that this homeowners power had been off and when restored his ac would not cool furnace blower would run but outside unit was dead. Day was a real scorcher temp near 100. Calls were coming in faster than they could be wrote up. I decided to take this call as it was near shop and homeowner said his wife had a broncial condition and the heat really bothered her. The timed fan control board was defective and after I replaced it ac took off. I stayed around a time and started to look over the setup. House was a 1400sq ft 2 1/2 story house with no insulation, the ac unit was a 4 ton unit, furnace was 100k btu.( much too large) The house had once been heated by a gravity furnace, it removed and replaced by the present Janitrol unit. The gravity furnace air intakes had been used for the return air system, a huge one was located in the kitchen right above furnace, the other was located at other end of house in living room. All the upstairs rooms had adjustable vents on the doors. The gravity setup had used 10 in piping with floor ducts. Someone had made funnel shaped adapters that reduced the gravity furnace 10 in pipe down to 6 in and some were connected to plenium by flex ducting, others by regular ducting pipe. Setup was reasonably quiet, did not short cycle and cooled place evenly and comfortably, I ask the home owner about his utility bills and they were surprisingly reasonable. Said furnace heated well and every place was comfortable. the systen was installed 20 years ago and has not given much problem beyond normal things that happen to hvac systems. Is the most cobbled up mess I have seen in my 60 yrs in this business, but it works surprisingly well. I guess this is just one of those setups where everything matched well enough to come out right.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Days of living off potential are over
Time for Jets players to reward faith shown
Now, they must win.
They're rich. They have both financial security and stability in the form of long-term contracts. They're the Winnipeg Jets of the present and the future. All that remains to be seen is if they're winners or losers.
For a few years now we've been hearing about the potential and talent of the core group of players with the Jets. They're no longer being paid for potential on entry-level deals or even second contracts. They're now getting the big dollars reserved for performance deals. Long-term contracts worth tens of millions of dollars.
Time to buy that house on the lake or fishing boat you've always dreamed about owning. It's also time to win.
Growth and development is great and it's a process that has to unfold on its own schedule. But sooner or later the finished product either arrives or it doesn't.
Patience from the fanbase isn't infinite and the Jets are a different product than our Blue Bombers. It's a lot easier for the Bombers at their price point to get away with endless futility. But the kind of money and yearly increases the Jets are asking of people puts the organization on a much different clock.
Winning in the NHL is obviously much harder than in the eight-team CFL and a Stanley Cup is a generational goal for most franchises.
Jets fans may wish for a Stanley Cup but they can't demand one. They can, however, expect a playoff team and more. That's well within their rights as a fanbase paying the freight.
So now, after having some time to cut their teeth, this group of players must begin to return the investment made by the organization and backed by the community.
The window for the Jets to be winners is open. The players need to take the next step and become a playoff team. Such a statement will push GM Kevin Cheveldayoff into the next mode of fine-tuning the roster and adding pieces to turn the Jets into contenders.
But right now it's all about the core players Cheveldayoff has locked up. It's time for them to earn their keep and become more than just a cute story out on the Prairie. It's time for them to become a serious hockey team.
Cheveldayoff has made the only bet available to him in this market and that's to lock up the young players previously collected by Atlanta Thrashers management.
Andrew Ladd, Ondrej Pavelec, Evander Kane, Toby Enstrom, Zach Bogosian, Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little were members of the organization when it arrived from Atlanta and Cheveldayoff has now systematically signed them all to long-term contracts.
That's a lot of talent signed for a lot of years. It's a fine foundation with more talented draft picks coming on board every year as Cheveldayoff continues to bolster the organization's depth.
If this franchise is to become a playoff team or contender, it will be on the backs of these players.
To date, Jets fans have been thrilled to cheer on these young players and crow about their potential. But that will change now. Fans are well aware of the money that's been handed to these players and will instinctively point to contracts if and when they become disgruntled.
Veterans such as Ron Hainsey and Nik Antropov constantly had their play held up against their healthy contracts. It's the nature of the dynamic and the Jets newest group of highly paid players will either thrive in their next stage of their hockey lives or they'll bear the full force of a dissatisfied Canadian hockey market.
The Jets, in essence, grew up this summer. Now we find out if they're ready to accept all that comes with the money they've been handed.
Word out of Minnesota, and there was photographic evidence Tuesday on Twitter, is Dustin Byfuglien has taken a step in his conditioning.
"Buff's going to be a big-time player this year," said teammate Blake Wheeler, after spending some time with the talented defenceman last week. "I'm glad he's on my team this year."
Byfuglien can't take the Jets to the next level all alone but if he's ready to fulfill the unlimited potential trapped inside his body and mind, Cheveldayoff may have acquired the best player available this summer without having spent a dime or going outside his own house.
Byfuglien has hovered around all-star status the last few seasons but hasn't been able to crack the ceiling from very good to great. Conditioning is the key to unlocking that mystery and the Jets have addressed that with their star player again and again.
If Cheveldayoff and coach Claude Noel have found a way to reach Byfuglien, there's no limit to what he can accomplish. By extension, Byfuglien could drag the Jets to some unexpected places.
So things are looking good in late July. The best they've looked since the Jets returned to Winnipeg.
But, and Cheveldayoff said this himself on Monday, the games are won on the ice.
True enough.
So bring on the games. And the expectations.

Study Examines Effect of Receiving Tdap Vaccine During Pregnancy
Posted on May 5, 2014
A preliminary study finds that receipt of the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine in the third trimester of pregnancy did not increase the risk of adverse events for the mother or infant, according to a study in the May 7 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on child health. In addition, the authors found high concentrations of pertussis antibodies in infants during the first 2 months of life, a period during which infants are at the highest risk of pertussis-associated illness or death. This issue is being released early to coincide with the Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting.
Pertussis is a highly contagious and potentially fatal vaccine-preventable disease that has re-emerged in the United States despite high childhood immunization rates. Infants younger than 6 months are at greatest risk of disease, hospitalization, and death and account for more than 90 percent of all pertussis-associated deaths in the United States. Infants too young to receive the primary diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP) immunization series (recommended at 2, 4, and 6 months of age) depend on maternal antibodies for protection against pertussis. However, pregnant women have very low concentrations of pertussis antibodies to transfer to their newborn at the time of delivery; maternal immunization with the Tdap vaccine could help prevent infant pertussis, according to background information in the article.
Flor M. Munoz, M.D., of the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, and colleagues randomly assigned 48 women to receive the Tdap vaccine (n = 33) or placebo (n = 15) at 30 to 32 weeks' gestation to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity (ability to produce an immune response) of the vaccine administered during pregnancy. Women who received placebo during pregnancy were given Tdap vaccine postpartum prior to hospital discharge, and women who received Tdap during pregnancy were given placebo postpartum.
The researchers found that injection site and systemic reactogenicity (adverse reactions) rates in pregnant women were not significantly different than those observed among postpartum or nonpregnant women. No Tdap-associated serious adverse events occurred in women or infants. Growth and development were similar in both infant groups. No cases of pertussis occurred.
Also, concentrations of vaccine-induced pertussis antibodies in infants born to mothers immunized with Tdap during pregnancy were significantly higher at birth and at age 2 months than in infants whose mothers were immunized postpartum.
In addition, maternal immunization with Tdap did not substantially alter infant responses to scheduled DTaP.
"Further research is needed to provide definitive evidence of the safety and efficacy of Tdap immunization during pregnancy," the authors write.

A facile route is presented for the fabrication of spherical PbTiO3 (PTO) nanodot arrays on platinized silicon substrates using PbO vapor phase reaction sputtering on micellar monolayer films of polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) loaded with TiO2 sol–gel precursor. Short exposure to PbO transforms the amorphous TiO2 into polycrystalline PTO, while keeping the inherent size and periodicity of TiO2 nanodots. HRTEM images show that the spherical PTO nanodots, with an average size and height of 63 nm and 40 nm, respectively, are fixed on the Pt supported by residual carbon. XPS narrow scan spectra of Ti 2p and O 1s strongly verify the evolution of chemical identity and the reduction of the Ti-O binding energy from TiO2 to PTO. The amplitude and phase images of piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) confirm a multidomain structure attributed by the crystalline orientation of the PTO nanodots. Furthermore, the discrete PTO nanodots show remarkable switching properties due to the low strain field induced by the small lateral size, and the absence of domain pinning effects by grain boundary.

2 new breast-cancer-drug hopes
December 8, 2011
SAN ANTONIO - Breast-cancer experts are cheering what could be some of the biggest advances in more than a decade: two new medicines that significantly delay the time until women with very advanced cases get worse. In a large international study, an experimental drug from Genentech called pertuzumab held cancer at bay for a median of 18 months when given with standard treatment, versus 12 months for others given only the usual treatment. It also strongly appears to be improving survival, and follow-up is continuing to see if it does.

THIS HAS been a bad year for proponents of early detection of breast cancer. Not only have we seen debates about the effectiveness of mammography, but a study just published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that breast self-examination did not prevent deaths from breast cancer. Once again women find themselves wondering what happened. For years, we've been told that early detection is the only way to ensure that you will find breast cancer at a curable stage.
Could Breast-cancer Patients Lose A Therapy? Study Results Could Jeopardize Payments.
April 13, 1999
By Brigid Schulte, INQUIRER WASHINGTON BUREAU
Linda Kerns was 4 years old when she saw her mother die. One year later, her aunt died. When she was 34, she watched in agony as her sister died. All had breast cancer. None made it out of their 30s. Last year, at 35, she was diagnosed with the dreaded disease. With a malignant tumor the size of a baseball in one breast and the cancer already spread to nine nearby lymph nodes, she made a desperate choice: to subject her body to a near-lethal onetime dose of chemotherapy followed by a bone-marrow transplant to repair her chemically ravaged immune system.
A fast-growing fight for breast-cancer cure An annual event now draws 40,000 supporters.

Yesterday's Race for the Cure was the largest ever in Philadelphia, drawing at least 40,000 people to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and raising an estimated $2 million. With this success comes a sad irony: In a nation where 211,000 cases of breast cancer occur each year, Philadelphia's Race for the Cure has joined the heavyweight class of civic events, up with the St. Patrick's Day Parade and summer festivals on the Parkway. This cancer fund-raiser is now a popular Mother's Day tradition, particularly among those who, on that special Sunday in May, have no mother to telephone.

BABY-FEEDING WARNING Parents, don't give babies soy-based beverages other than infant formulas as their only source of nutrition. So warns the Food and Drug Administration, which says soy-based drinks, sometimes called "soy milk," do not have the nutrients infants need. The warning stems from the case of a 5-month-old baby girl, now in critical condition, fed almost since birth on a soy beverage bought in a health food store. FLU TOLL If you've suffered through it, you won't be surprised to learn that the 1989-90 flu season could turn out to be the worst in five years.
Information on cancer at your fingertips

Cancer is a scary prospect, and we need all the help we can get to understand what it is, how it's treated, and how to cope with it. Some iPad tablet applications have risen to the task, or parts of it. A guide to 120 types of cancer is part of Cancer.net Mobile , from the American Society of Clinical Oncology. This free app has information about treatment, costs, and side effects, and helps patients and families manage life with cancer. Unfortunately, links to a video and podcast of "When the Doctor Says Cancer" were not working when we tested the app. Tools in the app let you log symptoms and side effects and note the questions that you need to take to the doctor's office, when you could be nervous and forget.
Camille Q. Ridarelli, wife of singer Bobby Rydell
September 18, 2003
By Sally A. Downey INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Camille Quattrone Ridarelli, 60, of Penn Valley, wife of former teen idol Bobby Rydell, her high school sweetheart, died Monday of cancer at Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood. She and Roberto Ridarelli - Bobby Rydell was a stage name - grew up blocks from each other in South Philadelphia. In an interview several years ago, she said that when she was a student at St. Maria Goretti High School, "I used to see him on the trolley car when he went to [the old] Bishop Neumann, and wait for him, but he never gave me a second look.
Montel Talks About His Double Mastectomy
October 28, 1998
by Jenice M. Armstrong, Daily News Staff Writer Daily News staff and wire services contributed to this report
The next time you click on TV and hear talk-show host Montel Williams looking deep into the eyes of a breast cancer patient and saying he sympathizes, check your cynicism. Williams had a double mastectomy 23 years ago when he was a Marine. He told attendees at a breast cancer research funding gala in New York last Saturday that doctors found a lump in his chest, operated and then discovered it was benign, according to the New York Post. Although he still has his nipples, "there was moderate scarring" that has faded.
Breast cancer treatments, mysteries advance in Philadelphia-area hospitals
October 3, 2011
By Marie McCullough, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In 1984, a retired Columbia University surgeon published a paper about his 47 years of experience with the "Halsted radical mastectomy," which involved removing a woman's cancerous breast, chest muscles, underarm lymph nodes, and sometimes part of her chest wall. It was a disfiguring and debilitating operation and, as the surgeon, Cushman D. Haagensen, stated, for the many women found to have advanced disease, it was futile. Even so, he considered it the best available treatment and was dismayed that it was being abandoned in favor of more conservative surgery combined with radiation and chemotherapy.

Check Up: Some guidance on when to start mammograms
January 5, 2015
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
It seems counterintuitive, but detecting breast cancer early is not automatically a good thing. That dilemma is at the heart of the never-ending debate over starting mammography screening before age 50. Now, a team led by obstetrician-gynecologist Margaret Polaneczky has developed an interactive online tool to help women in their 40s who are not at high risk of breast cancer decide when to start - and how often to get - mammograms. The "decision aid," at http://bsd.med.cornell.edu , provides objective but individualized information based on the woman's own breast cancer risk and preferences.

And with no connection to other breast-cancer patients, she felt isolated. Fifteen years later, Marks, 65, of Center City, the executive director of Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts, knows that others are literally in the same boat, specifically one that dates to ancient Chinese tradition. She is a member of a dragon-boat crew, Against the Wind, made up of breast-cancer survivors.
Ruth Veronica Mills Boston, 72, devoted to family, church

IF YOU SHOWED up at Ruth Boston's home on a Sunday morning before church, you were treated to the best of gospel music and words of comfort and wisdom from an evangelist. Ruth would have the radio on WURD (900-AM) to listen to the Rev. Louise Williams Bishop, an evangelist and state representative from the 192nd District. The TV would be on for Bobby Jones Gospel, playing the kind of music that was just right for a devoted churchgoing woman before she went out the door. Ruth would be off to Camphor Memorial United Methodist Church to hear the Rev. Frank Moore or another minister tell it like it is. Ruth Veronica Mills Boston, who worked for several Philadelphia manufacturing companies, a woman famed for her culinary skills and her devotion to her family and church, died Nov. 4 of cancer.

Candice and Ryan Ismirle sat on a small sofa at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, cradling their 2-day-old twin sons, Ryder and Rafe. Candice Ismirle's cousin and parents hovered nearby. In many ways, it was an archetypal celebration of new life by an extended family. But the scene was also testimony to their defiance - some might say denial - of a grim reality. At 33, Candice Ismirle is battling an aggressive, metastatic breast cancer. She and her husband, who live in Washington, conceived the twins through in vitro fertilization.
Breast cancer's 'dual citizens'
October 30, 2014
By Sally Friedman, For The Inquirer
Debra Copit, Generosa Grana, and Marisa Weiss have much in common: all mothers, all Main Line residents, all doctors - all breast cancer specialists. And they all have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Their similar stories are both coincidence and cautionary tale - illustrations of breast cancer's indiscriminate nature but also its complexity, storming into the lives of patients with individual and unique markers. Yet at least in one way, cancer has imparted a shared lesson to these women, all of whom are now in excellent health: Getting a diagnosis will change your life.

Megan Donascimento was happily enjoying life when, last fall, the 46-year-old Mount Airy resident was rocked by the news that she had breast cancer. "I was always adamant about getting mammograms because by mother had breast cancer at 34," said the married mom of two teenagers, a daughter, 18, and a son, 17.

Geothermal vs convential savings calculator
Does anyone have a link to a good online comparison calculator?
I assume you are talking about a Geo Heat pump system versus a conventional HP system.
If correct you need to know the rated COP for each system to make the calculation. A good dealer can provide this info.
When you get that, I can provide a link. Of course you need to know electric rate.
And of course, it is most dependent on climate.
In Wisconsin, a geothermal might save 50% compared to conventional while in central NC, the quoted number is 20%.
Geothermal saves very little when the ambient temp is 35-95. So how long you spend under 35 (or over 95) really affects how much geo helps.
I think so many times geo is compared to oil or straight electric which is completely unfair. The other comparison is old "conventional" heat pump. Like when "a geothermal system is the equivalent of removing 2 cars from the road" - maybe compared to oil heat in a large, leaky, and northern house.
