John B. Johnson Jr., CEO of Johnson Newspapers and the editor and co-publisher of the Watertown Daily Times, announced Friday that he will step down from daily oversight of the companies.
In making the announcement to department heads and newsroom staff, Mr. Johnson said he will continue as chairman of the Board of Directors of the corporation. I will also start a new chapter by writing editorials for The Times and will continue my community work, he wrote in an email to the entire staff.
My brother Harold B. Johnson will become vice chairman. He will continue as president of the company and co-publisher of The Times. His career experience will be crucial as the leadership team adapts to the changing media marketplace and positions the company for sustainable growth.
My son John will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer and the Co-Publisher of the Times. The leaders of the newspapers in Malone, Hudson and Batavia will report to him as will department heads in the North Country.
We are pleased to announce Harolds son Alec has been elected a director of the company. Alec is an award winning reporter for the Waterbury Republican American with a Masters Degree in Journalism from Columbia University. His experience positions us well for growth and for the change in the rapidly changing media marketplace. We look forward to his guidance as a director of the company.
The north country has provided an exciting place for me to practice my love of journalism, Mr. Johnson wrote in his email. I am very, very proud what we have accomplished, the stories we have told, the lives we have helped improve through our reporting and the reputation we have all earned.
As the new CEO, the younger John B. Johnson will continue the trend of developing new products for the company. He is responsible for having created the successful magazines NNY Business and NNY Living, and he has pushed for improvements on the companys websites.
I am honored to continue in the tradition of journalism and service to the community that was started by my great-grandfather, said John Johnson. My father has done a remarkable job leading a very talented group of journalists and business people. He believes fervently in the goodness and strength of the north country and campaigns tireless for our communities at the local, state, and national level. I am excited to continue to grow the business that he stewarded and led for his career. We have a wonderful team of people who all believe in the north country, our readers, and our clients. I look forward to working with them to expand our business and make our communities better places.
On a very personal note, I have developed a relationship with my father that not many children have the opportunity to develop. Not only is he my father, but he is a colleague, a business mentor, a confidant and a friend. That relationship has changed my life for the better and I am grateful for it.
Mr. Johnsons role in the community and on the state level is being noted today by several leaders. In a joint email statement from the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, Alfonso L. Carney, Jr., board chairman and Paul T. Williams Jr., president and chief executive officer, wrote: We would like to congratulate John B. Johnson Jr. on his retirement from the day-to-day operations at the Watertown Daily Times. John was first appointed to DASNYs board in 2001, and since 2003 has served as the boards Vice-Chairman. He replaced his father, John B. Johnson, who served on DASNYs board from 1956 through 2000. We are delighted, and frankly relieved, that John will continue his work with DASNY. His years of experience and wisdom are invaluable to our mission.
He was also praised by James W. Wright, executive director of the Development Authority of the North County (DANC), of which Mr. Johnson is also a board member.
John Johnson Jr., has always maintained the highest professional standards, which is recognized not only regionally but also in the states and nations capitols, said Mr. Wright. The Watertown Daily Times has always been recognized as an exceptional daily newspaper. I know the new leadership will continue the familys commitment to excellence.
John has also placed the interests of the north country first, said Mr. Wright. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the community and as a member of the Development Authoritys Board.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., called Mr. Johnson a great publisher, community leader and fishing buddy, and said he could not think of anyone who had done more for the region.
Hes just a caring, decent, thoughtful human being. Hes the best, Sen. Schumer said, in a phone interview Friday afternoon. I wish the world had more John Johnsons.
Sen. Schumer said he would often receive calls from Mr. Johnson asking for help supporting local businesses, non-profits and hospitals.
None of it was for his own benefit, he said. All of it was because he cared about the north country and its people.
John B. Johnson Jr. should be proud of a tremendous career in journalism spent serving his community and keeping his readers informed of the issues that matter to our region, U.S. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, wrote in an email. I wish him the best and look forward to working with him in the future as he continues his work as a tireless champion for Fort Drum and a friend to the Watertown community.
Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton wished Mr. Johnson the best in an emailed statement.
His love of journalism as well as his belief in the future of our region has been evident in his work, she said. If you wanted to know how Mr. Johnson felt, all you needed to do is pick up a copy of the Watertown Daily Times.
Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, chair of the Jefferson County Legislature noted that she could disagree with Mr. Johnson, but it didnt prevent their friendship.
John and I have not always seen eye to eye on issues, she wrote in an email. Yet over the many years, while we have comfortably, and sometimes not so comfortably, disagreed with one another, John and I have remained long-time friends. And, I do cherish that!

State officials have sounded the warning that the state education tax rate will rise in the coming year unless towns vote to contain their school budgets. Its like telling us well get wet if it rains.
The reason for the warning is that state officials have the job of setting the tax rate but dont have power over whether education spending goes up or down. That power belongs to the voters. So state officials, including the governor, are eager for us to know its not their fault if taxes go up. Its ours.
A variety of cost pressures is conspiring to force up education costs this year. These include teachers, contracts that have already been negotiated, as well as health care costs for school personnel, which are expected to rise by about 14 percent. Special education costs are expected to increase by about 7 percent, and ordinary inflationary pressures are forcing up costs by about 2 percent.
Add to these higher costs a decline in property values, and tax rates can be expected to rise. If falling property values have resulted in a lower appraisal of ones home, then the effect of the higher rate may be partly offset by a lower home value. But grand lists dont necessarily reflect fluctuating home values.
These higher costs, most of them unavoidable, are likely to put voters on notice that they should not be extravagant with their school budgets. Ordinarily, voters dont need lectures from the governor to enforce appropriate austerity on school boards. Vermont has a long tradition of ornery taxpayers who, when pressed, are willing to hold the line on spending in tough times.
The higher education costs come as student enrollment continues to decline, which creates an added incentive to hold down costs. If there are fewer students, then school officials understand, first of all, they will be getting less in per-pupil reimbursement from the state and, second, they may not need to spend as much to teach a smaller student body.
But the difficulty of achieving savings in response to the shrinking number of students can be seen in the numbers for the coming fiscal year. The total of students in the state is expected to drop by 670. If all those students were to disappear from one school, then the school could do without a sizable number of teachers. A 20-to-1 ratio would suggest the elimination of 33 teachers, saving big money.
But if that diminishing number of students is coming from schools throughout Vermont, that means two or three or four students per school. A decline of that sort does not necessarily justify the elimination of a teacher.
Vermonts schools are smaller than schools in most states owing to the states geography and demographics: numerous small towns, most of which have their own little schools. The school is often central to the community identity of a town, and calls to consolidate to save money generally run up against stout resistance from local citizens eager to hold onto their own schools and school budgets.
From the point of view of the Montpelier education official or politician, it makes sense to seek efficiencies through consolidation. They have a view of the big picture. From the point of view of townspeople in towns such as Sudbury, Leicester or Whiting, who have wrestled with the issue, its not such an easy call.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, mercifully, has eased up on the hectoring of local schools and voters, but he still has an interest in convincing voters its not his fault if the state education tax rate goes up. Voters know that. They will be subjecting their school budgets to close scrutiny, as they always have, because they know its the best way to keep school costs under control.MORE IN Opinion -

Tula Ammo
Tula ammo (also branded as TulAmmo) is manufactured at the Tula Cartridge Works facility, which is located approximately 100 miles south of Moscow, and has been producing quality ammunition since 1880. It is currently the leading ammo manufacturing facility in Russia and is capable of producing hundreds of millions of steel-cased rounds per year.

TulAmmo Review - Unlocking the Russian Ammunition Mystery
For Mother Russia, Czars have come and gone and the world has watched the rise and fall of Communism. Through it all, the Russian Tula and Ulyanovsk ammunition factories have remained a constant, quiet but imposing force. Our research team set out to uncover these secrets and uncover the mystery we did. Here to shed light on the Russian ammunition market through the lens of the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories is their current president, Alexei Solovov. After hours of research and after communicating with Mr. Solovov through an interpreter, LuckyGunner.com was able to provide this account of so many decades of secrecy and confusion. So, let's get started….
Tula Ownership
Surprisingly, the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories are presently 100% privately owned. At the helm, serving as President is the experienced and highly educated Mr. Solovov. His background in industry and academia includes experience or education in engineering, economics, and of course serving as a business executive of the largest ammunition plants in the world.
Tula History
The Tula Ammunition plant, located 100 miles South of Moscow, dates back to 1880 when Russian Emperor Alexander II approved the establishment of a cartridge plant by utilizing private capital. The plant was tasked with fulfilling an initial contract to produce an impressive 210 Million rounds in its first seven years. The Ulyanovsk factory was added to the foray in 1916 and is located 550 miles South-East of Moscow. Interestingly, the Tula plant initially produced brass-cased ammunition and didn't switch to producing steel casings until the late 1920's to conserve precious metals. Russia boasts of large iron reserves and by switching to producing casings made of the more economical steel material, Russia was able to conserve its strategic non-ferrous metals for its other industrial material needs. Since that time, the Tula and Ulyanovsk plants have mastered the production of bi-metal ammunition and hard alloy tools. To date, the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories are still producing economical steel-cased ammunition serving both Mother Russia's military needs on a cost plus basis as well as selling to various domestic markets around the World. The volume of production is staggering.
Tula During The War Years
During World War I the Tula factory alone contributed 25% of Russia's domestic ammunition production, cementing its importance to the defense of the Russian Bear along its 990 mile Eastern Front. Later, in WWII the Tula factory once again rallied to meet its country's needs and produced a staggering 400 Million rounds per year to stop the German advance on the Eastern Front.
Tula Now
Today, the plant produces 40 types of small arms ammunition for both the commercial market and the Russian military. Tula Cartridge Plant currently exports to over 20 countries around the world, most notably: the United States, Germany, France, Finland, England, and the Netherlands. According to Mr. Solovov, his ammunition sets the standard for high-quality steel ammunition, purportedly meeting both European's C.I.P. requirements as well as America's SAAMI requirements.
The Tula and Ulyanovsk ammunition plants' exports to the American market are now consolidated under the TulAmmo brand. Previously, these plants produced for various importers. In order to better understand the present operations of TulAmmo, it's important to understand the man behind the Iron Curtain, Alexei Solovov. Alexei, born October 23rd, 1961, grew up in the small Russian town of Kolchugin before attending college at the Moscow Institute for Steel and Alloys where he received a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. Later, he went on to earn a graduate degree in the field of Economics. Alexei's background in metallurgical engineering has been instrumental in helping to shape TulAmmo's innovative aspirations since he began working for the firm in 1999. One of the distinguishing marks of the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories over their Russian counterparts is their quality controlled manufacturing processes and their patented Polymer-coated casings, which together are protected by over 20 patents.
The Product and the Advantage of TulAmmo's Polymer Casings
Tula ammunition is produced as an economical steel-cased alternative to brass-cased ammunition that utilizes advanced polymer coating technology to ensure stable dimensions, increased shelf-life, and more reliable functioning, according to Mr. Solovov. So, what about the confusing Russian ammunition term, "bi-metal"? Currently, the projectiles of most Russian ammunition are considered bi-metal. The term describes projectiles that have a lead core enclosed in a steel jacket that is then enclosed in a 100% copper jacket or coating. Unfortunately, bi-metal ammunition is banned from certain ranges because of its unique ability to penetrate deeper into impact material than most softer projectiles (i.e. the typical copper jacketed lead core bullet that is the most commonly found projectile at ranges). To broaden its product offering, Mr. Solovov has reported that by the end of 2011, the US market will begin to see TulAmmo that contains no steel in its projectiles in addition to its current bi-metal projectile line.
One significant difference between TulAmmo and many of its Russian counterparts is the production methods used to manufacture the product as well as the quality of the materials used. While some Russian manufacturers have implemented a polymer coating process, the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories are the only ones that produce safe polymer-coated casings, says Mr. Solovov. As the market preference for polymer-coated cases over lacquer-coated cases has grown, other factories have attempted to follow TulAmmo's lead. Mr. Solovov vividly asserts that TulAmmo's superior quality remains unmatched. For example, according to Mr. Solovov, the materials utilized to manufacture TulAmmo's polymer-coated casings are safer because they are "not made of materials that are harmful during the production and use of the ammunition". He states that his engineers tested and analyzed the chemical composition of other Russian ammunition manufacturers' polymers and "their polymers have phenol-formaldehyde resins, which are very, very harmful." Good information to know if you are a high-volume shooter. Additionally Mr. Solovov states that all of their ammunition is loaded using non-corrosive primers.
Tula Production Capacity
So, how big are the Russian factories and what is their annual output? Understandably, these are both national and trade secrets, but Alexei tipped his hand that the collective ammunition volume imported into the United States alone from these two factories was approximately 500 Million rounds in 2009. To put that into perspective, that's almost 16 rounds per second 365 days a year that are imported into the US domestic market! To further explain the scale of Mr. Solovov's production potential, the production capacity of the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories compares favorably to that of of ATK (Federal, CCI, Speer, et al), Remington, and Winchester combined.
What's ahead for TulAmmo? Alexei has a clear vision in mind for the future of TulAmmo. According to Mr. Solovov, the TulAmmo brand plans to continue to gain market share as more customers learn about the higher quality of its steel ammunition over that of its competition. Mr. Solovov continues to invest capital into advanced technology to further increase the disparity between the quality of TulAmmo products and those of its competition. Additionally, Mr. Solovov suggests that TulAmmo expects to gain new customers in the U.S. market as the price of copper continues to soar (copper is the main component in brass), helping give cash strapped Americans a way to more affordably enjoy their passion for shooting. As the Tula and Ulyanovsk factories enter their 131st and 95th years of producing ammunition, respectively, their best days may yet be ahead.
Steel cased ammunition is relied on by citizens and military agencies in some of the most extreme climates all over the world. The AK-47, chambered in 7.62x39mm, for example is relied upon for its ruggedness in some of the harshest places on Earth with a reputation for being less finicky than many of the more finely tuned Western weapons. TulAmmo's steel-cased 7.62x39mm ammunition is purportedly tested to function well in temperatures ranging from -58 ⁰F to 122 ⁰F cementing its usefulness in extreme climates such as the searing deserts of the Middle East to the frigid tundra of Siberia. It's no surprise that such a rugged product has emerged from the hinterlands of Mother Russia.
Tula Ammo Overview
The Tula Cartridge Works ammunition factory has been producing quality ammunition since 1880 and is currently the leading ammo manufacturing facility in Russia. Not only is Tula Ammo one of the largest ammo suppliers for its home country of Russia, it is also a leading exporter to many overseas markets including North America, Central America, South America, Australia, and Europe. The Tula Cartridge Works factory currently exports a large percentage of its overall production under the trademark name, "TulAmmo".
Tula Ammo is known for its strict quality control, a wide array of products, cutting edge patent technology, and excellent performance. The Tula name has gained a following worldwide for being a rugged, reliable, and economic product.

SocomRaider said: "Wanted to try them out first. Ordered a couple boxes of hard to find ammo. I already have the product two days later and it as advertised. Very happy with my purchase and look forward to buying from this company again. I also like their straightforward inventory system. If it's not on their website, they don't have it! They also list how many of a particular item is left."
HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"
BurlMeister said: "The Lucky Gunner is the place I'll be buying my ammo from now on.It was my first time experience at buying ammo on line, so I was a little concerned. They were easy to find and navigate their web page.The selection was out standing and great prices. The thing that stood out the most was there customer service. You know all about your puchase and where it is until it reaches your front door, then they e-mail to make sure you recieved it. They are a company that knows customer service is what can make a company in difficult economic times."

So using Thunderbolt as a cluster interconnect now possible?
Phoronix: Intel Provides Linux PCI Express NTB Support
Intel has provided Linux kernel support for PCI Express Non-Transparent Bridges (NTB). PCI-E NTB allows for interconnecting multiple systems using PCI Express...
So using Thunderbolt as a cluster interconnect now possible?
Sounds promising, although a lot of the wording got over my head...
"I was writing something on my scratchpad when the doorbell rang. I looked out the window, but all I saw was a non-transparent bridge."
That would appear to be a possible application. This could be awesome!
They may also be using this with their Xeon Phi HPC coprocessor (Knight's Corner). The Xeon Phi is a PCIe card that runs embedded Linux, so you would need a way for two Linux systems to interact over PCIe: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6017/i...c-goes-retail/
See section 3.3.4: http://download.intel.com/design/int...ers/323328.pdf
What is the API going to look like? It's basically RDMA so maybe they can use that API? Really this is not all that different from Infiniband.
The idea is that you have a super-high bandwidth, super-low latency connection. Your first instinct is to use a "transparent" bridge and just connect together the memory spaces of the two systems. Then you think some more and you realize that this has no security and no robustness at all. With some more thinking you can solve these issues and lash the two systems together with hardware that is minimal and fast, but the bridge is arbitrating things so that the systems can still exchange data at mind-blowing rates and latencies.
This is precisely the mission statement of Infiniband.
I've worked with Infiniband RDMA which is pretty similar. One system allocates a shared memory buffer and hands a reference to the other. The other system writes to the memory block and then signals that it's done. It looks a lot like the classic inter-process "shared memory". This stuff is all happening in nanosecond timeframes, so running a network protocol on top of this is just a sad loss of bandwidth and latency. If you really want to see the pure speed then you have to program at the RDMA layer.
I've set up NFS over Infiniband RDMA using a fast RAID array. This is not your grandfather's NFS. It's not really possible to distinguish it from local disk, even a monster RAID array. The bonnie results on the client and the server are pretty similar.
If you want to mess around with Infiniband, you can get used gear on ebay for super cheap. It's probably going to lose out in the long run as an interconnect, but it's fun to play with and you can't argue with the prices.
Interesting. I can see that using LAN as means for connecting things can be slower, but by what amount? Also, what connectors would NTB use? I can see Thunderbolt as a possibility, but I'd imagine there should be something else as well.

List of declarations made with respect to treaty No. 044
Status as of: 28/4/2015
Declaration made at the time of deposit of the instrument of ratification, on 8 January 1975 - Or. Fr. In depositing this instrument of ratification, the Permanent Representative stated that Protocols Nos 2, 3 and 5 shall enter into force in respect of Greece with effect from 28 November 1974, date of the deposit of the instrument of ratification of the Convention of 4 November 1950 and of the Protocol of 20 March 1952. He recalled the declaration made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Greece on 28 November 1974, at the time of deposit of the instrument of ratification of the Convention and the said Protocol and at the occasion of signature of Protocol No. 5 of 20 January 1966, according to which Greece should complete with a minimum of delay the whole set of instruments relating to the Convention with effect from 28 November 1974. Period covered: 8/1/1975 -
Declaration contained in the instrument of ratification, deposited on 11 October 1966 - Or. Fr. We approve herewith, for the Kingdom of Europe, Surinam and the Dutch West Indies, in respect of all the provisions contained therein, the Protocol reproduced above. Period covered: 21/9/1970 -
Declaration contained in a letter from the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands, dated 24 December 1985, registered at the Secretariat General on 3 January 1986 - Or. Engl. The island of Aruba, which is at present still part of the Netherlands Antilles, will obtain internal autonomy as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands as of 1 January 1986. Consequently the Kingdom will from then on no longer consist of two countries, namely the Netherlands (the Kingdom in Europe) and the Netherlands Antilles (situated in the Caribbean region), but will consist of three countries, namely the said two countries and the country Aruba. As the changes being made on 1 January 1986 concern a shift only in the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as the Kingdom as such will remain the subject under international law with which treaties are concluded, the said changes will have no consequences in international law regarding to treaties concluded by the Kingdom which already apply to the Netherlands Antilles, including Aruba. These treaties will remain in force for Aruba in its new capacity of country within the Kingdom. Therefore these treaties will as of 1 January 1986, as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands, apply to the Netherlands Antilles (without Aruba) and Aruba. Consequently the treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a Party and which apply to the Netherlands Antilles, will as of 1 January 1986 as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands apply to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.

Lung Cancer Screening (PDQ®): Screening - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Lung Cancer Screening
What is screening?
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.
It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.
If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.
General Information About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the lung.
The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped breathing organs inside the chest. The lungs bring oxygen into the body when breathing in and send carbon dioxide out of the body when breathing out. Each lung has sections called lobes. The left lung has two lobes. The right lung, which is slightly larger, has three. A thin membrane called the pleura surrounds the lungs. Two tubes called bronchi lead from the trachea (windpipe) to the right and left lungs. The bronchi are sometimes involved in lung cancer. Small tubes called bronchioles and tiny air sacs called alveoli make up the inside of the lungs.
Anatomy of the respiratory system, showing the trachea and both lungs and their lobes and airways. Lymph nodes and the diaphragm are also shown. Oxygen is inhaled into the lungs and passes through the thin membranes of the alveoli and into the bloodstream (see inset).
There are two types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about lung cancer:
- Lung Cancer Prevention
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment
- Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. It is the most common cancer in men and women combined, after skin cancer.
Tobacco smoking is the most important risk factor for lung cancer.
Anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a risk factor. The main cause of lung cancer is tobacco use, including smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, now or in the past.
There are other risk factors for lung cancer, but even when taken together, their effect on lung cancer is very small compared to the effect of tobacco smoking. These include the following:
- Being exposed to second-hand smoke.
- Being exposed to asbestos, arsenic, chromium, nickel, or other substances in the workplace.
- Being exposed to radon, which can be found in the home as well as in the workplace.
Lung Cancer Screening
Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer.
Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. Cancer screening trials also are meant to show whether early detection (finding cancer before it causes symptoms) decreases a person's chance of dying from the disease. For some types of cancer, finding and treating the disease at an early stage may result in a better chance of recovery.
Clinical trials that study cancer screening methods are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Three screening tests have been studied to see if they decrease the risk of dying from lung cancer.
The following screening tests have been studied to see if they decrease the risk of dying from lung cancer:
- Chest x-ray: An x-ray of the organs and bones inside the chest. An x-ray is a type of energy beam that can go through the body and onto film, making a picture of areas inside the body.
- Sputum cytology: Sputum cytology is a procedure in which a sample of sputum (mucus that is coughed up from the lungs) is viewed under a microscope to check for cancer cells.
- Low-dose spiral CT scan (LDCT scan): A procedure that uses low-dose radiation to make a series of very detailed pictures of areas inside the body. It uses an x-ray machine that scans the body in a spiral path. The pictures are made by a computer linked to the x-ray machine. This procedure is also called a low-dose helical CT scan.
Screening with low-dose spiral CT scans has been shown to decrease the risk of dying from lung cancer in heavy smokers.
A lung cancer screening trial studied people aged 55 years to 74 years who had smoked at least 1 pack of cigarettes per day for 30 years or more. Heavy smokers who had quit smoking within the past 15 years were also studied. The trial used chest x-rays or low-dose spiral CT scans (LDCT) scans to check for signs of lung cancer.
LDCT scans were better than chest x-rays at finding early-stage lung cancer. Screening with LDCT also decreased the risk of dying from lung cancer in current and former heavy smokers.
A Guide is available for patients and doctors to learn more about the benefits and harms of low-dose helical CT screening for lung cancer.
Screening with chest x-rays or sputum cytology does not decrease the risk of dying from lung cancer.
Chest x-ray and sputum cytology are two screening tests that have been used to check for signs of lung cancer. Screening with chest x-ray, sputum cytology, or both of these tests does not decrease the risk of dying from lung cancer.
Risks of Lung Cancer Screening
Screening tests have risks.
Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer.
The risks of lung cancer screening tests include the following:
Finding lung cancer may not improve health or help you live longer.
Screening may not improve your health or help you live longer if you have lung cancer that has already spread to other places in your body.
Some cancers never cause symptoms or become life-threatening, but if found by a screening test, the cancer may be treated. It is not known if treatment of these cancers would help you live longer than if no treatment were given, and treatments for cancer may have serious side effects. Harms of treatment may happen more often in people who have medical problems caused by heavy or long-term smoking.
False-negative test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be normal even though lung cancer is present. A person who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay seeking medical care even if there are symptoms.
False-positive test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by more tests (such as biopsy), which also have risks. A biopsy to diagnose lung cancer can cause part of the lung to collapse. Sometimes surgery is needed to reinflate the lung. Harms of diagnostic tests may happen more often in patients who have medical problems caused by heavy or long-term smoking.
Chest x-rays expose the chest to radiation.
Radiation exposure from chest x-rays may increase the risk of certain cancers, such as breast cancer.
Talk to your doctor about your risk for lung cancer and your need for screening tests.

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether a method of finding cancer earlier can help people to live longer. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients and those who are at risk for cancer. During screening clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new screening method and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new method is better than one currently being used, the new method may become "standard." People who are at high risk for a certain type of cancer may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

The Pearl of the Alps lies on a high plateau of the Saas Valley, above the other three Saas communities. Saas-Grund in the center of the valley is an ideal starting point for the high altitude trails. Saas Almagell's main attraction is Mattmark, a natural dam. Saas Balen is home to the Late Baroque circular church, a building of national significance, and the roaring Fell Brook in the center of the village.
Saas Valley is distinguished by 350 kilometers of thematic and hiking trails as well as special offerings for families and children. The ski region has 150 kilometers of pistes of all levels of difficulty, which are considered to be snow-assured. Twenty-two railways lead to the pistes, including the well-known Metro Alpin (Alpine Metro), which takes passengers to the world's highest revolving restaurant.
In addition to around 300 km of walking paths and numerous themed trails, it is an extraordinary experience to encounter the tame marmots that can be found beneath the Spielboden mountain station. More adventurous visitors might wish to cross the Alpin gorge, the brook gorge between Saas-Fee and Saas-Grund, passing along steep rock walls accompanied by a mountain guide. In the "adventure forest" in Saas Fee, those with a head for heights will be able to venture on various obstacle courses, swinging from a steel cable and passing from tree to tree across rope bridges, as well as whiz through the forest landscape on the «Feeblitz» summer and winter toboggan run. The Saas valley also has a 70-km-long network of mountain-bike tracks and a 5-km-long push-scooter route.
- Allalin ice pavilion – the secrets of the glacier are vented for visitors within the permanent ice.
- Revolving restaurant – a far-reaching vista across the mountainscape is offered up by the revolving restaurant on the glacier of the Mittelallalin.
- Alpin gorge – fixed rope route crossing of the spectacular brook gorge using rope bridges and tyrolienne cables; only with a mountain guide.
- Adventure park – suspension rope park with courses of varying degrees of difficulty, in front of an impressive glacier backdrop.

text: I completely agree. There are many areas that need a much higher priority like the ones you mention and many more. A replacement for Google Earth seems out of place for even being on the list.I don't even really agree with the Free Software Foundation's listing of this as a high priority project for the success of free software; a free software version of Google Earth isn't going to make or break it for free software and the Linux desktop. I (and likely many more users) would much rather see language learning software (i.e. Rosetta Stone replacement) or proper tax/accounting programs (i.e. TurboTax replacement) on this list instead, which would affect a lot more people.

"Serendipity". A ten dollar word that translates to roughly, " I had no freakin' idea that would turn out so totally awesome". It's a word to use when you want to throw a kink in the stereotype that brownliners are a step down on the flyfishing/intelligence hierarchy. It is also how I would d escribe our day on the water this past Sunday.
About 3:30 in the afternoon we headed off to La Mirada park to try our luck among the hard core catfish fisher-folk and the innumerable kids that were hurling enough lead at the lake to make it feel like a beach assault. We hop-scotched between the families feeding the predatory ducks, squeezing in just close enough so as not to appear too predatory ourselves but near enough to piggyback on the chum line being laid down by all the two and three year olds emptying their bags of cheetos into the lake. The wind was steady and made for a slight chop on the water, which was good for stealth but bad for anything other than casts made to the East. Our slow but fruitless dance around the lake was interrupted only to give a short lakeside instructional session to a ten-year old who nearly stove in the back of my head with the cannonball he was using for weight.
We had just about decided to move to another lake when my 8 foot, 5-weight "dinked". I honestly thought I had snagged some algae but played in the line anyway. Sure enough, I had managed to hook up with quite possibly the smallest large mouth bass on the planet. Exhausted from the battle, I forgot to snap a photo but it wouldn't have a mattered much anyway unless you use a hi-def,=2 0home-theater sized screen for a computer monitor. Still a fish is a fish and it boosted our spirits just to know that we could, in fact catch a fish in an urban lake even amid the barrage of live fire lead and rooster tails.
Knowing that retreat is an effective and honorable strategy, we opted to head over to Laguna Lake, which despite it's name, is located in the middle of Fullerton — about fifteen minutes away. Now, old-timers who haven't been there in the last three years or so will hear you say Laguna Lake and simply burst out laughing. Laguna lake recently underwent a multi-million dollar make over and it's once again a decent place to fish. Prior to the fix up though, the place just stank. The water resembled hospital jello and you didn't have to fish, you just had to walk along the shore and scoop up dead carcasses from underneath the ducks that lined the shore like day workers at Home Depot.
Now, it is a different story.The place is clean, the number of ducks is regulated, the water flows in a cleansing circular pattern thanks to a series of pumps and jets and there is plenty of space to make decent back casts around most of the lake. Plus you can park along the street for FREE. A good number of families were already set up along the shore mostly bait fishing. We headed over to a clump of rushes that had produced for us in the past and we begin fishin'. Almost immediately we began pulling in small bluegills. ; As we split off in different directions, we each continued to haul in bluegill after bluegill. At one point, my cell phone went off while I was playing a 'gill and the ID indicated that Sean was calling me. I answered, thinking something was wrong. "Dude, switch to a small dry. You won't be sorry." I did and I wasn't. All told, when it finally got too dark to see what we were doing, we counted close to a hundred bluegills and green sunfish caught and released between the two of us.
And that is what you call serendipity.
One Response to "LAGUNA LAKE ADVENTURE"
Nice report! Been flyfishing there since it reopened. I use it as a place to practice casting and new fly patterns that I tie when I can't get to the streams. Next time you go there try the ant patterns! The gills love them, and, the bass really like a nice big, #12 Pheasant Tail.
Love your site!

Special Olympics athlete Michael Reed of New Jersey slips past Special Olympics athlete Massimiliano Priolo of Italy.
Today was a great day for Special Olympics! Twelve Special Olympics athletes from all over the world showcased their basketball talents to the world in front of a packed crowd at the 2013 NBA All-Star weekend in Houston, Texas. Special Olympics athletes showed the unifying power of sport playing alongside NBA and WNBA players and legends. In a competitive game that came down to the wire, Team West pulled together and came up with a 55-54 win over Team East. "What a game," said Special Olympics and NBA ambassador Dikembe Mutumbo. "There were so many basketball players on this court better than me today! These Special Olympics athletes come from all over the world and no matter their intellectual disabilities they show that we are all unified when we step on a basketball court." Check out the photos at the link below. Special Olympics athletes came from China, Italy, Namibia, Puerto Rico and the United States.

Rangers eye playoff push vs. intrastate rivals
Wild Card-hungry Rangers enter series with 14-2 advantage vs. Astros
Even as the playoff race grows more complicated, the math and the motivation for the Rangers remains simple: Just win. Texas, having fallen out of a race for first place in the American League West, is now trying to outlast both Tampa Bay and Cleveland for one of the league's Wild Card berths.
Texas now trails Cleveland by 1 1/2 games and Tampa Bay by two games with a week remaining.
And if the Rangers needed a boost in their race for the playoffs, they may get it in the form of their intrastate rival. Texas will play host to Houston over the next three days, and the Rangers will take the field with a 14-2 edge in the season series and wins in 13 consecutive series against the Astros.
"Our season has definitely been up and down, but we have to put that behind us and finish strong," said outfielder Craig Gentry of the Rangers' turbulent push to the postseason. "Right now, every game means something. Hopefully we can get something going and finish it off."
The Rangers, at 5-15 in September, are not taking anything for granted against Houston. Left-hander Derek Holland will be matched against Jordan Lyles in Monday's series opener, and Texas manager Ron Washington said Sunday that he was impressed with how the Astros had played.
"They've come a long way this year," Washington said. "They have a pretty good young starting pitching staff. They certainly have to shore up their bullpen. That's what has been killing them. But their youth got a year under their belts. You just can't throw your glove out there. You've got to go out and play."
The Astros have lost seven straight games to the Rangers, and Lyles is coming off a start in which he allowed seven earned runs without escaping the fourth inning. The right-hander posted a 3.44 ERA in his three starts before that outing, and manager Bo Porter would love to see him finish strong.
"I think it's very important," Porter said of closing out the season. "You're going to look at your body of work, but finishing positive would be good for all these guys the last time through the rotation."
Holland is two-thirds of an inning from crossing the 200-inning barrier for the first time in his career, but he has won just once in 12 starts after the All-Star break. Holland has gone 2-6 with a 3.67 ERA in 14 starts at home, and he knows the stakes each time his team takes the field.
"Every start is big now; we've got to win from here on out," Holland said of the unmistakable mathematics at the end of the season. "Every game you win makes it that much easier."
Astros: Houston gets good look at Villar
The Astros have gotten to take a long look at shortstop Jonathan Villar, who is batting .266 in his first 52 games of big league action. Villar, acquired from Philadelphia in the 2010 trade for Roy Oswalt, has made 13 errors over 52 games as second baseman Jose Altuve's double-play partner.
Villar, a native of the Dominican Republic, batted .277 with 31 stolen bases in 91 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his promotion to the Astros. Villar has gone deep just once for the Astros, but he has 17 stolen bases and 11 extra-base hits in his first 180 at-bats.
Rangers: Martin has room to meet potential
Leonys Martin has had a modest first full season in the Major Leagues, hitting .259 with eight home runs and 41 RBIs in 139 games. Prior to this season, Martin, a native of Cuba, batted .323 with a .388 on-base percentage in 128 games in the Minor Leagues, providing a glimpse of his talent.
Worth noting
• The Astros beat the Rangers on Opening Day and on July 6.
• The Rangers shut out Kansas City for eight innings before yielding a ninth-inning grand slam in Sunday's 4-0 loss.
• Joe Nathan notched his 40th save Saturday; Nathan is just the fourth pitcher age 38 or older to have a 40-save season. Mariano Rivera (three times), Trevor Hoffman (twice) and Jose Mesa are the other members of the club.
