My web app uses the Java Excel API 2.6.10 (http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/) to generate .xls spreadsheets dynamically. The user clicks a link and can either open or save the spreadsheet. Works fine.
The slight annoyance is that when the spreadsheet opens, it is pretty small (in terms of its physical width x height dimensions) and the user always has to resize the sheet manually.
Is there a way to specify that I want the spreadsheet to have some given width and height when the user opens it? I'm guessing that either the API allows me to specify the initial dimensions or else there's some way to pass that information with the HTML link itself, but I'm not seeing anything.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Lawyers liking firm's electronic filing system
The initiation of the Puratone Corporation's creditor-protection proceedings in September had all of the urgency -- and massive volume of filings -- of any case with creditors owed millions of dollars from a company that could not keep up to changing market conditions.
But this case was that much more pressing because the hog-production company's assets were live animals.
So it was fortunate the Puratone Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) filing was the first ever done in the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench using electronic filing.
It's hard to determine the precise value the electronic filing had in what became a fairly expeditious sale of the assets to Maple Leaf Foods, but it seems clear as a pilot project it has been a success.
Launched as a partnership between the Queen's Bench court registry and the Legal Data Resources Corp. (LDRC), a not-for-profit entity created in the late 1980s by the Law Society of Manitoba, the electronic-filing experiment successfully introduced key players in the provincial court system to a brave new world of secure electronic filing.
"We're just getting our feet wet," said Kelly Wilson, the Court of Queen's Bench registrar.
But as far as experimental dabbling with technology goes, this was quite substantial.
There have been more than 82 separate documents filed, totalling more then 3,200 pages of material. But this time they were all digital.
For the lawyers involved in CCAA actions, it can be an arduous undertaking just distributing all the documents to the various parties.
David Jackson, of the Winnipeg law firm Taylor McCaffrey LLP, represented the secured creditors in the matter, which is still before the court.
"In many of these CCAA applications, everybody shows up (at court) with boxes and boxes of documents," he said. "I tell you, it was awfully nice to be able to walk up with a laptop which contained all the material."
Don Douglas, of Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP, the firm representing Deloitte, the court-appointed receiver, said, "I found one of the great advantages of it was that once you filed a document and got back the electronic copy from the courthouse, you could just press the email send button and the hundred or so people on the service list could all receive it electronically."
So rather than lawyers having to worry about needing X number of days to serve all the interested parties, they are allowed more time for the preparation of the documents.
Wilson and the lawyers involved in the matter all seem to be giving the process a thumbs-up. Wilson said the fact the presiding judge in the case, Justice Robert A. Dewar, is computer-savvy was essential for the pilot project to run smoothly.
And by all accounts, it has. But just as the wheels of justice turn slowly, so, too, does the administration of the court system.
Manitoba Attorney General Andrew Swan introduced legislation last fall to allow for more electronic filing in provincial criminal courts. He is encouraged by the progress being made in civil matters at Queen's Bench, but there are no specific marching orders as to how it will be rolled out more broadly.
"The time has long since gone when clients expect their lawyer to be standing in line at the registry," Swan said in an interview. "The court needs to move ahead and allow lawyers to safely and securely file documents from their office. That only makes sense."
Swan is also happy the LDRC and the court registry have been able to successfully manage the experiment.
In fact, if it weren't for the LDRC, it probably wouldn't have happened.
The process of initiating the pilot project was championed by LDRC chairman Ron Coke, a lawyer with Taylor McCaffrey.
As well, it was the LDRC that invested a significant amount of money to acquire the software licence to allow the court registry and as many as 1,000 Manitoba lawyers to acquire secure digital signatures.
The digital signature system -- which can also allow encrypted files to be sent through a firm's normal email system -- is essential for the security of the information and the integrity of the court system.
"When I or a deputy receive an email from counsel, counsel can have it encrypted," Wilson said. "We open and see it is encrypted by a specific counsel. We know it is coming from a secure party. Ensuring that the integrity of the court record is maintained, that's what's most important to my office."

Nashville Sunday
Steve and I fly solo today while the ladies visit a big mall. Were on the $10 shuttle into Nashville. We are being driven by the single most irritating woman on the planet. She talks incessantly in a voice reminiscent of Granny Clampett and nothing she says is of any interest. She's also had the gall to reprimand me for talking when she was.

The guide talked us through the flavours and had us smell the whisky before swishing it round our mouths to pick out the individual flavours; stuff like vanilla, oak, caramel and so on. I'm clearly not at all refined, as I couldn't taste anything other than alcohol! Feeling suitably warmed up from our tipples, we headed back out into the chilly air ...

Tottenham head coach Andre Villas-Boas insists he will not resign from his position despite a heavy 5-0 defeat to Liverpool.
The Portuguese came under pressure following a 6-0 loss at Manchester City last month, and saw Tottenham humbled at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
However, Villas-Boas still believes his team, who sit seventh in the Premier League, can turn things around.
"I won't resign and I'm not a quitter," he said. "This result is difficult for everybody, and they (the fans) suffer much more than us.
"This is a top-four squad, but in the Premier League form isn't there. We have the squad, we believe in each other but the results aren't there to prove it.
"We've worked to build a strong team and we are happy with the signings. The players we have are top quality.
"There is still time to get back on track."
Tottenham trail leaders Arsenal by eight points and have managed less than a goal a game in the top flight this season.

Today's negative pre-announcement from
Cirrus Logic
) adds to the cloudy outlook for
). In many ways, Apple's problems are very company-specific: a
function of competitors are finally catching up to it. Apple's
smart-phones and tablets no longer have the field to themselves.
What this means is that Apple's growth outlook is a lot less
certain than was previously believed.
We will know more about Apple's earnings picture as the
company reports Q1 results after the close on April 23rd. But the
current Zacks Consensus estimate for Q1 is down almost 14% in the
last three months and estimates for the coming quarters likely
have more room to come down. In terms of growth, Apple's total Q1
earnings are expected to be down roughly -16% from the same
period last year.
The Key Trends
Apple's problems may be company specific, but plenty of its
hitherto high-flying Technology peers are faced with similar
earnings challenges. We saw in
) earnings report on Tuesday how the weak PC demand picture is
weighing on its outlook.
The situation isn't much different for other PC centric
players like
) and
Advanced Micro Devices
), to name just a few. Ironically, Apple played a leading role in
bringing the PC market to its knees.
Others are faced with different headwinds that lead to the
same earnings challenges. Companies with advertizing-based
business models like
) and others are struggling with monetizing the secular shift
from PC to mobile devices. This platform shift has material
consequences for these companies' margins, as do the headwinds
facing Apple and the PC players.
Expectations for Q1
These trends are clearly visible in the aggregate earnings
expectations for the sector. And let's not forget, Technology is
the largest earnings contributor to the S&P 500. It's not
without basis to say that 'as goes Tech, so goes the S&P
500.' Total earnings for the sector are expected to be down -8%
from the same period last year, which is a big contributor to the
expected -1.6% decline for the S&P 500 as whole.
The revenue picture isn't that bad, with total sector revenues
in Q1 expected to be up +2.8%. And this spotlights the margin
problem we referred to earlier for the individual companies. Net
margins for the sector in Q1 are expected to be down more than
200 basis points from the same period last year and essentially
flat from the preceding quarter.
What About Beyond Q1?
In terms of earnings, the first and third quarters are
typically the seasonally weak periods for the sector. As such,
the market may be willing to cut the Tech companies some slack
for a weak showing this reporting season. But a lot will depend
on how they guide towards the coming quarters, as expectations
for the coming quarters, particularly the second half of the
year, are for a resumption of strong growth.
Current consensus expectations are for total Tech sector
earnings to increase by +8% in the second half of the year after
declining by -5% in the first half. The second half recovery is
then expected to carry into 2014, resulting total earnings growth
for the sector of +13.3%.
A big part of these second-half 2013 and full-year 2014
earnings recovery hopes rest on margin expansion. On a quarterly
basis, net margins for the sector peaked in 2012 Q3 and have yet
to get back to those levels.
On an annual basis, the sector's net margins have been
essentially flat since 2011, but are expected to make strong
gains later this year and next year after contracting in the
first half of 2013. Hard to envision such margin gains given the
multiple headwinds facing them.
Putting It All Together
What all this boils down to is that earnings expectations for
the broader S&P 500 in general and the dominant Technology
sector in particularly remain elevated. I am not talking about
estimates for the currently underway first quarter of 2013, but
the coming quarters, particularly the second half of the year and
next year. Those estimates need to come down and they most likely
will come down after we hear from management teams.
Tech stocks haven't been the leading stock market performers
this year, up +8.6% year to date vs. the +11.4% gain for the
S&P 500 in that same time period. It is perhaps reasonable to
expect this group to give back some of those gains in the coming

OpenSolaris Live CD 2008.11 with Distro Toolbox and Automated Install
The OpenSolaris project has issued its second solid release with the Live CD 2008.11, which integrates subprojects such as the installer and package manager.
The CD image applies both to driveless bootups and installation on x86 machines. Release Candidate 2 ended up being the released version.
Among the new features of the Live CD are the Distribution Constructor with which to build an install image from a package repository, and automated installation over the Internet or through media. Also new are suspend/resume and power management for the CPU.
The CD provides a graphical GNOME tool for Sun's ZFS filesystem that helps in configuring the snapshot function, using the Nautilus file manager to step through the snapshots. The file manager, like many OpenSolaris components, falls under Sun's Common Development and Distribution License
(CDDL) version 1.0. Certain other components are governed by the OpenSolaris Binary License.
OpenSolaris 2008.11 contains additional free software such as GNOME 2.24 Desktop, OpenOffice 3.0 and the Firefox version 3 browser. Newly added in the release were top, sudo and emacs. Web developers can also get a stack with the 64-bit variants of MySQL, CherryPy, and Ruby, along with the diagnostic tool DTrace.
According to the release notes, many bugs were also fixed.
The OpenSolaris Live CD download can be by HTTP, FTP or BitTorrent.

My Wife-Angela Robb, Recognized As A Champion of Change!
Just in case you missed it, here is the video link to the Champions of Change for Parkinson's disease.
The event was held at the White House.
Left to right: Karl Robb, Angela Robb, Greg Wasson, Davis Phinney.
As we near April and Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month, I would like to publicly thank and recognize the carepartners and caregivers who make our lives better. The carepartner/caregiver can be a tiring and sometimes thankless task.
To my wife, best friend, partner, carepartner, and true love, Angela, I congratulate you on being honored and recognized at the White House as a Champion of Change. I am so proud of you –today and everyday! I am so grateful to be in this life with you by my side! I am so happy that everyone, besides me, sees just how amazing you are!
Monday mornings can be exciting or drudgery, depending upon your perspective to the upcoming week. Once in awhile, we all need a nudge or a strong shove to get back on track. No matter how disciplined or focused you might be, we all may stray from our mission at hand.
Today, I share with you one of my favorite quotes. All I know about this quote is that it is attributed to Japan and I like it very much! I hope it motivates you and reminds you to keep on moving forward.
"Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid of standing still."
Okay, while the quote does refer to fear, and fear isn't usually a healthy emotion except in times of sensing danger. I think the quote promotes the importance of keeping up the progression of doing our very best and maintaining a momentum in our lives. Please give it some consideration. Have a great week!
A Friend's Inspirational Story
Parkinson's disease has given me many gifts, lessons, and opportunities. I am forever thankful for the amazing people that I have met and developed friendships with over the past 20+ years. There are far too many of you for me to thank and acknowledge at this time, but I would like to point out an important person who works quietly for change in the Parkinson's community and expects no praise for her tireless commitment.
Linda Swanson, of McKinney, Texas, is a force that I encountered 5 years ago. Her infectious spirit and ebullient energy is something she brings wherever she goes, and oh, she just happens to have Parkinson's disease. A marathoner, a half marathoner, a constant volunteer, Linda is always raising awareness about Parkinson's disease. Linda and her husband, Mike, are tireless advocates and volunteers for Parkinson's charities. Please take a moment to learn about Linda's story in the video, Changing the Face of Parkinson's, which was submitted to 2015 Neuro Film Festival. Please support Linda by viewing and voting for her video titled Changing the Face of Parkinson's (registration is required to vote).
The Swansons are two people, who along with many of you fill me up with hope and inspiration!
10 Suggestions to Improve the Doctor-Patient Visit (from a patient's viewpoint)
I have spent more time in doctors' offices than I care to remember. It occurred to me that my insights have merit from experience. Here are some suggestions that I would love to see implemented in doctors' offices:
10) When speaking with the patient, talk to them as if they were your own best friend. By considering that someone close to you may be just as at risk as your patient should make you more sensitive and thoughtful to how you relate and interact with your patients.
9) Your time is valuable, but so is mine. I have no hard numbers on just how many hours I have lost from waiting on doctors, but I can assure you that I am owed at least a few months.
8) As medicine and technology continue to merge more and more and the veil of healthcare costs are revealed through websites like https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/, physicians 'relationships with pharmaceutical companies and procedure providers will become public knowledge. This fascinating site reveals how much doctors were paid by drug companies (at this time the site only covers the last few months of 2013). Keep an eye on the site as it gets updated in the next few months.
7) I am not a doctor but as a patient and one who knows his own body, it is of vital importance that you hand out helpful and nurturing advice prior to rushing into altering a drug regimen or suggesting a risky life threatening procedure. Listen to the patient as well as the care partner/caregiver. Each of them has important information to relay to you to make the best possible recommendation.
6) If your patient sees more than 1 doctor other than you, it would seem practical and logical that you and the patient's physicians share data to refrain from duplicative testing, sharing a history of allergies and sensitivities, and just keeping all the players involved, on the same page. Health requires a team effort where doctors in their specialty actually confer and share their knowledge with the other specialists working with the patient. Communication between ALL your doctors is easier in this modern day.
5) How you communicate with your patient can be more critical than the information that you are delving out. Patients get white coat anxiousness for a reason. A good visit means more than providing the patient with helpful medical advice, it would make the whole doctor experience better for everyone if you could show compassion and view a doctor's visit from the patient's perspective.
4) The term "waiting room" should be gone for good, but if it must still live on, how about proving that the patient/customer still matters? Comfortable seating, cheerful art, free Internet access, and water to take medications are the very least of the amenities that one might expect, as they wait. Television in the waiting room does not appeal to everyone and can be very annoying when made mandatory.
3) Some physicians have embraced technology and made strides in making it easier for patients to update their records and to reduce paper in triplicate. Patients with mobility or handwriting issues should not be forced to fill documents in by hand. Some offices have not moved forward at all.
2) The administrative people and nurses that patients must deal with are a direct reflection of your "practice" as well as you as a healthcare provider. If they aren't treating the patient right, you may end up with unhappy patients, or even worse, fewer patients.
1) Good medicine is more than just handing out drugs or understanding the science behind a condition, it is about real care for the patient's needs. It is about working with the patient and his or her family members to determine the best possible strategy for the patient's future and best outcome.
Take Time To Appreciate
The people that we encounter leave indelible impressions that can last a lifetime. When in I was in my early twenties and unable to get a diagnosis of my illness, some individuals that I did not know all that well showed me kindness that I remain grateful for to this day.
I had moved to a city that I did not know well and had no friends. I was drawn to an art gallery that specialized in nature photography. The photographs were comforting as was the gallery owner and photographer who were one and the same. His name was Patrick and he became a dear friend. His gallery gave me solace. On a day when I needed a getaway, Patrick's gallery was my sanctuary.
Before I left town, I bought 2 of Patrick's amazing southwest desert photos. The photos were not just pieces of art but they were reminders of our friendship and the gift his friendship meant to me. I don't think I ever told Patrick what his friendship meant or how he got me through some dark days with his mentoring.
Patrick and I lost touch as many of us often do when we move away. Not until recently did it occur to me to look Patrick up and reconnect with him through social media. I couldn't find him anywhere. After racking my brain to how I might find him, I remembered that we had a mutual friend who was a photographer. I contacted our mutual friend after 20+ years In hope that he could tell me where Patrick might be. A few days later, I got my answer.
The email said he was sorry that he didn't have better news and it linked to a website. I clicked on the website and it linked to the local paper. The paper announced Patrick's obituary and read from the year 2007 that Patrick had had a lengthy battle with lung cancer.
I was filled with regret that I had lost touch and had failed to realize what he had done for me. I had let too much time pass. I wasn't there for him like he had been there for me. I was and am very sorry but I learned a huge lesson from Patrick and I am thankful.
- When someone shows you kindness, make sure that you express your gratitude so that they know how you feel.
- Share the gratitude that you feel for that special person who stepped into your life to make a lasting impression. Feel the need to pass it on.
- Don't wait to share your feelings with those people in your life. You may not get another opportunity.
I am grateful that I can share the gift that Patrick gave to me. I hope that you will share it as well.
Comeback Kid
It has been close to 4 years since my cat Shadow, lost her eye to Cancer. As worried parents, we were uncertain of how our vivacious ornery ball of fluff would mend or adapt to losing an eye. To our amazement, after coming out of the anesthesia, Shadow was back to her old self. She showed no signs of harboring any anger or resentment for having gone through surgery, and she ate earlier than we had expected. The day after losing her eye, as if nothing had changed, Shadow skillfully walked around the bathroom tub to prove to us that she was still the same cat.
Shadow is my model and daily inspiration for resilience and tenacity. She has taught me so much about how important it is to stay focused and to push forward. A former street cat, Shadow took about 3 months to finally trust us. Her will to live and strength make her a true survivor!
A Soft Voice blog name WPC Blogger Partner with World Parkinson Congress 2016!
I am so honored to have been chosen as a WPC blogger partner for the World Parkinson Congress (WPC) 2016 in Portland! If you haven't been to a WPC event, I whole-heartedly encourage you to join us. Meet amazing people living with Parkinson's disease, learn about the research and important work being done around the world. Held every 3 years, the Congress returns to the United States' host city of Portland, Oregon for the 4th gathering on September 20 -23, 2016.
From WPC – "WPC Inc. has expanded its partnership program to the global community of bloggers in the Parkinson's space. If you are interested in our WPC Blogger Partner program, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com."

Make new friends, learn about what's happening in Parkinson's, and explore a southwestern gem of a city. Watch for my posts and tweets about WPC announcements. I hope to see you there!
Comfort Zone
When one is tested with the disruption of illness or ailment, it sets a new parameter in determining our comfort zone. To be human is to label what we call "good days" and "bad days" and with time, self-care, medical and complementary therapies, nutrition, rest, exercise, and a positive attitude, those good days become better days and the bad days may just transition into good days.
A New Look For A Soft Voice Blog!
We are changing and upgrading the look and feel of the A Soft Voice blog! You will find it easier to navigate and discover material that may have been easily overlooked. With 150 postings on my site, I hope that you uncover something new that interests you. If you like my site, you may want to subscribe to stay up-to-date with the blog and announcements.

"It's a very confusing time. … This legislation has happened before we have a medical consensus about what to tell women."
— Emily Conant, a professor of radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, on laws in 21 states that require doctors to tell women they have dense breast tissue, which can raise their risk for cancer and hide abnormalities. New breast-imaging technologies promise to detect more cancers in women, but can bring more false alarms as well. (The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 23, 2015)

Wateree people
The Wateree were a Native American tribe in the interior of the present-day Carolinas. They belonged to the Siouan-Catawba language family. First encountered by the Spanish in 1567 in western North Carolina, they migrated to the southeast by 1700, where English colonists noted them. They had settled along the Wateree River near what has become present-day Camden, South Carolina. Originally a large tribe, they were diminished by the Yamasee War of 1715 and became extinct as a tribe by the end of the century.
They were recorded in 1567 by Spanish captain Juan Pardo's scribe Juan de la Bandera during their expedition through the interior of the Carolinas. Bandera called them the Guatari in his journal, which was also given as the name of their village.[1] Bandera described them as ruled by two female chiefs.[2]
From what little is known, scholars believe the Wateree were a Siouan-language tribe, an outlier of the much larger language group of peoples whose territories were by then centered on the Great Plains of North America. The Wateree were believed to have spoken Siouan–Catawban languages. The name Wateree may come from Catawban wateran, "to float on the water."[2]
The Spaniards noted that Guatari was far from the coast. The settlement is believed to have been in present-day Rowan County, North Carolina. In 1670, English colonists and explorers mentioned the Wateree as inhabiting the area of the upper Yadkin River, to the northwest of their later habitat.
By 1700, when observed by John Lawson's English expedition, the Wateree had migrated south to settle near present-day Camden, South Carolina along the Wateree River.[2] The Europeans observed that the chiefs of the Wateree had a higher degree of power than those of other Indian tribes of the region. Originally a large tribe, the Wateree had their power broken during the Yamasee War of 1715 against Carolina colonists. The Wateree became allies in a tribal confederation dominated by the Catawba. The latter tribe absorbed remnant bands of many other tribes of the region from the chaos of intertribal fighting.[2]
- "James Adair heard more than twenty different languages spoken by the Indians in the Catawba River settlements when he trade there between 1736 and 1743. This included Eno, Cheraw, Wateree, Congaree, Natchez, Yamasee, Coosah, and others. He could probably have added Saponi, Waccamaw, Pedee, Santee and others to his list. The groups varied in size. If large enough, each language tribe tended to create its own village and appoint its own leaders." [3]
The Wateree appeared to have been able to maintain their culture and distinct language as late as 1744. A record of land sale noted that Wateree Indians sold to a white man. The tribe as a group culture has become extinct, but some present-day Catawba are likely genetic descendants of the Wateree.
