Altec Lansing Octiv 202 Dual Audio Dock
Neat design, good audio, charges two devices, affordable
Music Mix app isn't perfect, only works on devices with OS 3.1 or later
There is now a huge selection of audio docks on the market, but the ones that tend to stand out are the high-end models that boast impressive sonics, such as the Vita Audio R2i and Philips Fidelio DS9000, or those that have something a little bit different to offer.
The Altec Lansing Octiv 202 Dual Audio Dock certainly offers something a little different as it is capable of accommodating two devices at the same time. Of course, it is not the only dock around to offer such a feature, but this one comes with its own free app that lets you shuffle music between the two players, as well as an alarm clock app. What's more, it is designed to fit neatly into tight gaps and dead spaces, such as the corner of the kitchen worktop - a feature which sounds so simple but is something of a rarity on products of this type. The dock is certified as Made for iPhone and Made for iPod, although you'll need to make sure that whatever device you're using has OS 3.1 or later or it won't work.
After following the handy set-up instructions that are printed on the inside of the box when you open up the lid, the first thing that struck us about the Octiv 202 is the shape. Sporting a chassis that's been chiselled down into a right angle at the back, it's ideal for pushing into a corner. Finished in matte black, the dock is fairly unobtrusive, with the four glossy buttons along the top adding a touch of class. The buttons are for power, changing the source and for adjusting the volume. There's also a handy little circular remote control that, when not in use, magnetically grips onto the back of the unit. This has got a few more options, such as track skip controls and buttons to help you navigate around the devices' menu screens.
The dock comes with two adaptors so that you can accommodate an iPhone 3/3GS and a third gen iPod touch, but we found that we didn't actually need the 3GS adaptor as the protective case on our phone made it sit comfortably in the cradle without any extra help. Along with space for two iDevices, there's an auxiliary input for hooking up a non-Apple player as well as a built-in USB port that lets you charge an extra device such as a camera.
Once the iPhones/iPods are in place, you simply need to hit the power button on the top of the dock. Pressing the Source button will switch between the left and right-hand device and the auxiliary input, whilst there are three orange lights that run along the top of the unit to show you which of the inputs is currently being used.
The sound quality is really quite impressive for a dock at this price point. The mid-range is clear and warm, and even the bass sounds pretty good considering the size and power of the speakers. The volume goes up pretty high, but even cranking it up as far as possible without deafening ourselves, the sonics remained consistent with no obvious tinny sounds creeping in.
You can customise the background of the free Alarm Rock app and tweak several other minor settings, but the main draw is that it lets you pick a song from your iTunes library to wake up to. Choose wisely, is our advice.
The Music Mix app does what it says on the tin - creating a random mix of music between the two iPods. You can pick the track that you want to start with, simply by selecting it from your music collection before you open up the app, but after that it's down to the technical wizardry to decide what you listen to. Using a sliding scale bar, the app lets you decide what percentage of music is to come from each of the two devices, which is good news if your partner has appalling taste in music and an iTunes library to match.
Using a shuffle-style mix may work well for some, particularly if most of your music is of the same genre. However, if you've got a sizeable music collection spanning plenty of genres and obscure bands, then the sudden appearance of ghost tracks or a surprise rendition of one of Rage Against the Machine's saltier efforts during a relaxing cup of tea could put you off forever. Also, the display only shows the name of the track and not the artist, so if you want to find out who a forgotten song is by then you're out of luck.
The app also includes a "Juice Meter" which gives you a large graphic of the how much battery charge there is on each device.
Although there's no doubt about the usefulness of having a dock that can charge two iPods or iPhones at the same time, the Music Mix app will probably divide opinion - you'll either love it or hate it. Having said that, the Alarm Rock app is really very useful. But it's sound quality that counts when it comes to iPod docks, and the Octiv 202 really delivers in this area, making it a great buy.

Why Pass on Viral Messages? Because They Connect Emotionally
Angela Dobele; Adam Lindgreen; Michael Beverland; Joelle Vanhamme; Robert Van Wijk
Price: $6.93
Postulates that successful viral marketing campaigns trigger an emotional response in recipients. Working under this premise, examines the effects of viral messages containing the six primary emotions (surprise, joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust) on recipients' emotional responses to viral marketing campaigns and subsequent forwarding behavior. According to findings, in order to be effective, viral messages need to contain the element of surprise. By itself, however, surprise is not enough to guarantee message success; therefore, it must be combined with other emotions. The effectiveness of the viral message is also moderated by gender, with disgust-based and fear-based campaigns being more likely to be forwarded by male recipients than female recipients. To ensure forwarding behavior, the message must capture the imagination of the recipient, as well as be clearly targeted. Moreover, achieving fit between a campaign and the featured emotions is important, as this ensures an increased chance of forwarding. In addition to relaying these and other findings, shares and discusses the managerial implications of using different emotions in viral marketing campaigns. Finally, culture is recognized as an influencer.
Learning objective:
To examine viral marketing as a tool which may be used to efficiently and effectively spread the word about a company or product. To guide interested parties on usage of six primary emotions and give tips toward a successful viral marketing initiative.

Gustave Caillebotte: Impressionist Paintings from Paris to the Sea
Although Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894) was a key member of the Impressionist circle, his acclaim as a collector and a yachtsman of the first rank has perhaps eclipsed his reputation as one of the leading painters of this movement. In 1976–77, a landmark retrospective of his work curated by Thomas P. Lee and the late J. Kirk T. Varnedoe—organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and presented at the Brooklyn Museum—introduced Caillebotte to American audiences. Whereas he is often cast as the "Urban Impressionist," this exhibition, the first in New York in thirty years, focuses on the artist's investigation of themes of water both in the city and in rural and coastal settings. For Caillebotte, this key element was both a scene for the sporting activities he avidly pursued and a challenging motif, owing to its reflective and atmospheric properties.
After completing studies in law and serving in the military, Caillebotte turned to painting and earned a place at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1873. Rejected by the conservative Salon jury in 1875, he abandoned the arc of officially sanctioned artistic endeavor and joined with the Impressionists. Caillebotte participated in five of the eight exhibitions that the Impressionists mounted between 1874 and 1886 to herald their avant-garde aesthetic, which celebrated an objective naturalism, subjects of modern life, a bright palette, and vigorous and visible brushwork. Not merely an exhibitor, he at times paid for the space and supervised the installation of the works. Financially independent, he supported his fellow painters and purchased works by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, among others. At his death, this major collection passed to the French state, ensuring a place for the progressive movement within the national museum system.
A passionate rower, yachtsman, and boat designer, Caillebotte approached his motifs with the practiced eye and hand of a sportsman and engineer. As the paintings in this exhibition demonstrate, his engagement with water themes and his growing embrace of Impressionist methods ultimately informed his approach to urban subjects, dissolving the hard-edged geometries of his early paintings with increasingly bravura brushwork.

Associate Curator of European Art and Coordinating Curator of the Exhibition
Paris Streets and Interiors
Caillebotte painted Paris throughout his career, focusing on the capital's broad avenues as well as its luxuriously appointed interiors. In early works such as The Floor Scrapers, a highly finished scene executed in a sober palette, the young artist adhered to a conventional, academic working process, making sketches and studies for the figures and backdrop. With this scene of urban labor—subject matter deemed "vulgar" or inappropriate for painting at the time—Caillebotte announced his daring and aligned himself with an avant-garde tradition led by such nineteenth-century forebears as Gustave Courbet and Édouard Manet.
Additionally, the painter rejected traditional compositional structures, preferring to explore unusual skewed views with zooming recessions down the city's long avenues. From the very beginning, the critics noted this "bizarre perspective," which was to become Caillebotte's trademark.
On the Seine Petit Gennevilliers and Argenteuil
For Caillebotte, the suburbs of Argenteuil and Petit Gennevilliers—located across the river Seine from each other—offered an easily accessible retreat from urban life. Train service rapidly covered the roughly seven miles between Paris and the countryside in twenty-two minutes. The Seine's basin at Argenteuil provided ideal conditions for sailing, a sport in which Caillebotte quickly distinguished himself.
Claude Monet had established a home in Argenteuil from 1871 to 1878, painting motifs along the river and attracting fellow artists to the area. Caillebotte and his younger brother Martial bought a house in Petit Gennevilliers in 1881. After Martial's marriage in 1887, Caillebotte established a permanent home there, enlarging the property to include a studio, a greenhouse, and homes for his gardeners and the sailors who crewed and cared for his yachts. In this region, Caillebotte painted both leisure activities and heavy industry, evocations of the past and stark hints of the future. Painting outdoors with visible brushwork, and bright colors, he increasingly embraced Impressionist techniques and practices.
Half Models for Boatbuilding
Although pleasing to the eye, half models primarily served as important tools for boatbuilding rather than as decorative objects; only later were they mounted on panels for display. The varying profiles of the half models for Caillebotte's boats displayed here demonstrate that he continually refined the proportions of his hull designs for maximum performance.
Caillebotte and other marine architects used half models to formulate their first ideas. After a model was sculpted—typically at one-tenth scale—the layers of wood were taken apart and measured. Boat designers then transferred the dimensions of the half models to plans.
The Paris of Impressionism
Although Caillebotte's earliest scenes of Paris relied on a more traditional studio practice, his later images of the city reveal his embrace of on-the-spot observation developed through the practice of open-air painting. The artist's engagement with the subject matter of the countryside—especially the challenge of capturing the ephemeral effects of light, water, and reflection—eventually prompted a broader handling and a brighter palette in his urban scenes. Moreover, in these later paintings, Caillebotte adopts a wide variety of viewpoints—often looking down or obliquely from the balcony—in a break from the long rectilinear perspectives of The Luncheon and The House Painters. In his later interiors, the artist exploits spatial ambiguities that heighten the psychological tension of his works—a compositional hallmark of Post-Impressionist painters.
Yerres and Its Pastimes
At the family's countryside estate at Yerres, located about twelve miles southeast of Paris, Caillebotte—an enthusiastic sportsman—engaged in swimming, fishing, and boating, activities he soon added to his repertoire of subjects. He was particularly inclined to painting images of boating, closely observing the different kinds of crafts and the people who navigated them. While the narrow skiffs required a high degree of skill and sustained strength, the hardy rowboat permitted more leisurely excursions by dabblers.
The exertion involved in these various leisure activities permitted Caillebotte to depict the human figure in action as he had done in images of urban labor such as The Floor Scrapers. He also continued to adopt unusual perspectives marked by deep recessions, oblique angles, and daring croppings. Most important, the depiction of these water-based activities provided him with an opportunity to explore light, water, and reflection—some of the most challenging but key elements of Impressionism.
Yachtsman and Boatbuilder
First introduced to sailing by Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Caillebotte purportedly learned the sport from his fellow Impressionist Alfred Sisley in the late 1870s. He and his brother Martial joined the Cercle de la Voile de Paris, a prestigious sailing club that maintained a meeting room in a floating boathouse on the Seine at Petit Gennevilliers—and the painter served as vice president of the organization for a time.
Although Caillebotte purchased and raced boats with success, he began to study boat construction with the aim of innovation and improved results. In 1885 he founded Chantiers Luce, a modern shipyard adjacent to his estate where twenty-one racing yachts were built according to his designs. Caillebotte's close engagement with boat design and construction introduced the third dimension into his creative process. In his paintings of the Seine, he frequently depicted his elegant and pioneering designs, often melding the historical tradition of the ship portrait with the avant-garde, painterly techniques of Impressionism.
At the time of his unexpected death in 1894, Caillebotte was the most influential sailor in France, and his boats were considered among the swiftest and most beautiful.
The Normandy Coast
Beginning in 1880, Caillebotte traveled most summers to Normandy, on the northern coast of France, to compete in large yachting regattas at Le Havre, Trouville, and Fécamp. He was one of the premier sailors of his generation, and his results in these races were avidly reported in specialized journals such as Le Yacht in France and Forest and Stream in the United States, both of which also published his innovative boat designs.
These sojourns to Normandy, the province of his family's ancestors, permitted the artist an opportunity to explore and paint the coast's steep cliffs and verdant river valleys—subject matter that also lured Claude Monet to this region in the early 1880s. Caillebotte's Norman scenes—while often devoid of the human figure—echo his contemporaneous Parisian cityscapes (included in the last section of the exhibition) with their oblique and sometimes vertiginous perspectives.

What is Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Scanning?
Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a type of nuclear medicine imaging.
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body. Because nuclear medicine procedures are able to pinpoint molecular activity within the body, they offer the potential to identify disease in its earliest stages as well as a patient's immediate response to therapeutic interventions.
Nuclear medicine imaging procedures are noninvasive and, with the exception of intravenous injections, are usually painless medical tests that help physicians diagnose and evaluate medical conditions. These imaging scans use radioactive materials called radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers.
Depending on the type of nuclear medicine exam, the radiotracer is either injected into the body, swallowed or inhaled as a gas and eventually accumulates in the organ or area of the body being examined. Radioactive emissions from the radiotracer are detected by a special camera or imaging device that produces pictures and provides molecular information.
Sample image obtained using a combination of PET and CT imaging technology.
In many centers, nuclear medicine images can be superimposed with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce special views, a practice known as image fusion or co-registration. These views allow the information from two different exams to be correlated and interpreted on one image, leading to more precise information and accurate diagnoses. In addition, manufacturers are now making single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) units that are able to perform both imaging exams at the same time. An emerging imaging technology, but not readily available at this time is PET/MRI.
A PET scan measures important body functions, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar (glucose) metabolism, to help doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are functioning.
CT imaging uses special x-ray equipment, and in some cases a contrast material, to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. These images can then be interpreted by a radiologist on a computer monitor. CT imaging provides excellent anatomic information.
Today, almost all PET scans are performed on instruments that are combined PET and CT scanners. The combined PET/CT scans provide images that pinpoint the anatomic location of abnormal metabolic activity within the body. The combined scans have been shown to provide more accurate diagnoses than the two scans performed separately.
What are some common uses of the procedure?
PET and PET/CT scans are performed to:
- detect cancer.
- determine whether a cancer has spread in the body.
- assess the effectiveness of a treatment plan, such as cancer therapy.
- determine if a cancer has returned after treatment.
- determine blood flow to the heart muscle.
- determine the effects of a heart attack, or myocardial infarction, on areas of the heart.
- identify areas of the heart muscle that would benefit from a procedure such as angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery (in combination with a myocardial perfusion scan).
- evaluate brain abnormalities, such as tumors, memory disorders, seizures and other central nervous system disorders.
- map normal human brain and heart function.
How should I prepare for a PET and PET/CT scan?
You may be asked to wear a gown during the exam or you may be allowed to wear your own clothing.
Women should always inform their physician or technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant or if they are breastfeeding. See the Safety page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/safety/) for more information about pregnancy and breastfeeding related to nuclear medicine imaging.
You should inform your physician and the technologist performing your exam of any medications you are taking, including vitamins and herbal supplements. You should also inform them if you have any allergies and about recent illnesses or other medical conditions.
You will receive specific instructions based on the type of PET scan you are undergoing. Diabetic patients will receive special instructions to prepare for this exam.
If you are breastfeeding at the time of the exam, you should ask your radiologist or the doctor ordering the exam how to proceed. It may help to pump breast milk ahead of time and keep it on hand for use after the PET radiopharmaceutical and CT contrast material are no longer in your body.
Metal objects including jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures and hairpins may affect the CT images and should be left at home or removed prior to your exam. You may also be asked to remove hearing aids and removable dental work.
Generally, you will be asked not to eat anything for several hours before a whole body PET/CT scan since eating may alter the distribution of the PET tracer in your body and can lead to a suboptimal scan. This could require the scan to be repeated on another day, so following instructions regarding eating is very important. You should not drink any liquids containing sugars or calories for several hours before the scan. Instead, you are encouraged to drink water. If you are diabetic, you may be given special instructions. You should inform your physician of any medications you are taking and if you have any allergies, especially to contrast materials, iodine, or seafood.
You will be asked and checked for any conditions that you may have that may increase the risk of receiving intravenous contrast material.
What does the equipment look like?
A PET scanner is a large machine with a round, doughnut shaped hole in the middle, similar to a CT or MRI unit. Within this machine are multiple rings of detectors that record the emission of energy from the radiotracer in your body.
The CT scanner is typically a large, box-like machine with a hole, or short tunnel, in the center. You will lie on a narrow examination table that slides into and out of this tunnel. Rotating around you, the x-ray tube and electronic x-ray detectors are located opposite each other in a ring, called a gantry. The computer workstation that processes the imaging information is located in a separate control room, where the technologist operates the scanner and monitors your examination in direct visual contact and usually with the ability to hear and talk to you with the use of a speaker and microphone.
Combined PET/CT scanners are combinations of both scanners and look similar to both the PET and CT scanners.
A computer aids in creating the images from the data obtained by the gamma camera.
How does the procedure work?
With ordinary x-ray examinations, an image is made by passing x-rays through the patient's body. In contrast, nuclear medicine procedures use a radioactive material, called a radiopharmaceutical or radiotracer, which is injected into the bloodstream, swallowed or inhaled as a gas. This radioactive material accumulates in the organ or area of your body being examined, where it gives off a small amount of energy in the form of gamma rays. Special cameras detect this energy, and with the help of a computer, create pictures offering details on both the structure and function of organs and tissues in your body.
Unlike other imaging techniques, nuclear medicine imaging exams focus on depicting physiologic processes within the body, such as rates of metabolism or levels of various other chemical activity, instead of showing anatomy and structure. Areas of greater intensity, called "hot spots," indicate where large amounts of the radiotracer have accumulated and where there is a high level of chemical or metabolic activity. Less intense areas, or "cold spots," indicate a smaller concentration of radiotracer and less chemical activity.
For more information on how a CT scan works, see Computed Tomography at (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/sitemap/modal-alias.cfm?modal=CT).
How is the procedure performed?
Nuclear medicine imaging is usually performed on an outpatient basis, but is often performed on hospitalized patients as well.
You will be positioned on an examination table. If necessary, a nurse or technologist will insert an intravenous (IV) catheter into a vein in your hand or arm.
Depending on the type of nuclear medicine exam you are undergoing, the dose of radiotracer is then injected intravenously, swallowed or inhaled as a gas.
Typically, it will take approximately 60 minutes for the radiotracer to travel through your body and to be absorbed by the organ or tissue being studied. You will be asked to rest quietly, avoiding movement and talking.
You may be asked to drink some contrast material that will localize in the intestines and help the radiologist interpreting the study.
You will then be moved into the PET/CT scanner and the imaging will begin. You will need to remain still during imaging. The CT exam will be done first, followed by the PET scan. On occasion, a second CT scan with intravenous contrast will follow the PET scan. For more information on how a CT scan is performed, see Computed Tomography at (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/sitemap/modal-alias.cfm?modal=CT). The actual CT scanning takes less than two minutes. The PET scan takes 20-30 minutes.
Total scanning time is approximately 30 minutes.
Depending on which organ or tissue is being examined, additional tests involving other tracers or drugs may be used, which could lengthen the procedure time to three hours. For example, if you are being examined for heart disease, you may undergo a PET scan both before and after exercising or before and after receiving intravenous medication that increases blood flow to the heart.
When the examination is completed, you may be asked to wait until the technologist checks the images in case additional images are needed. Occasionally, more images are obtained for clarification or better visualization of certain areas or structures. The need for additional images does not necessarily mean there was a problem with the exam or that something abnormal was found, and should not be a cause of concern for you.
If you had an intravenous line inserted for the procedure, it will usually be removed unless you are scheduled for an additional procedure that same day that requires an intravenous line.
What will I experience during and after the procedure?
Except for intravenous injections, most nuclear medicine procedures are painless and are rarely associated with significant discomfort or side effects.
When the radiotracer is given intravenously, you will feel a slight pin prick when the needle is inserted into your vein for the intravenous line. When the radioactive material is injected into your arm, you may feel a cold sensation moving up your arm, but there are generally no other side effects.
When swallowed, the radiotracer has little or no taste. When inhaled, you should feel no differently than when breathing room air or holding your breath.
With some procedures, a catheter may be placed into your bladder, which may cause temporary discomfort.
It is important that you remain still while the images are being recorded. Though nuclear imaging itself causes no pain, there may be some discomfort from having to remain still or to stay in one particular position during imaging.
If you are claustrophobic, you may feel some anxiety while you are being scanned.
Unless your physician tells you otherwise, you may resume your normal activities after your nuclear medicine scan. If any special instructions are necessary, you will be informed by a technologist, nurse or physician before you leave the nuclear medicine department.
Through the natural process of radioactive decay, the small amount of radiotracer in your body will lose its radioactivity over time. It may also pass out of your body through your urine or stool during the first few hours or days following the test. You should also drink plenty of water to help flush the radioactive material out of your body as instructed by the nuclear medicine personnel.
For more information on what you will experience during and after a CT scan, see Computed Tomography at (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/sitemap/modal-alias.cfm?modal=CT).
Who interprets the results and how do I get them?
A radiologist or other physician who has specialized training in nuclear medicine will interpret the images and forward a report to your referring physician.
If your physician has ordered a diagnostic CT, a radiologist with specialized training in interpreting CT exams will report the findings of the CT and forward a report to your referring physician.
What are the benefits vs. risks?
- Nuclear medicine examinations provide unique information—including details on both function and anatomic structure of the body that is often unattainable using other imaging procedures.
- For many diseases, nuclear medicine scans yield the most useful information needed to make a diagnosis or to determine appropriate treatment, if any.
- Nuclear medicine is less expensive and may yield more precise information than exploratory surgery.
- By identifying changes in the body at the cellular level, PET imaging may detect the early onset of disease before it is evident on other imaging tests such as CT or MRI.
- For additional benefits of CT exams, see Computed Tomography (CT) at (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/sitemap/modal-alias.cfm?modal=CT).
The benefits of a combined PET/CT scanner include:
- greater detail with a higher level of accuracy; because both scans are performed at one time without the patient having to change positions, there is less room for error.
- greater convenience for the patient who undergoes two exams (CT & PET) at one sitting, rather than at two different times.
- Because the doses of radiotracer administered are small, diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures result in relatively low radiation exposure to the patient, acceptable for diagnostic exams. Thus, the radiation risk is very low compared with the potential benefits.
- Nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures have been used for more than five decades, and there are no known long-term adverse effects from such low-dose exposure.
- The risks of the treatment are always weighed against the potential benefits for nuclear medicine therapeutic procedures. You will be informed of all significant risks prior to the treatment and have an opportunity to ask questions.
- Allergic reactions to radiopharmaceuticals may occur but are extremely rare and are usually mild. Nevertheless, you should inform the nuclear medicine personnel of any allergies you may have or other problems that may have occurred during a previous nuclear medicine exam.
- Injection of the radiotracer may cause slight pain and redness which should rapidly resolve.
- Women should always inform their physician or radiology technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant or if they are breastfeeding. See the Safety page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/safety/) for more information about pregnancy, breastfeeding and nuclear medicine exams.
- For risks of CT exams, see Computed Tomography (CT) at (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/sitemap/modal-alias.cfm?modal=CT).
What are the limitations of Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography (PET/CT)?
Nuclear medicine procedures can be time consuming. It can take several hours to days for the radiotracer to accumulate in the body part of interest and imaging may take up to several hours to perform, though in some cases, newer equipment is available that can substantially shorten the procedure time.
The resolution of structures of the body with nuclear medicine may not be as high as with other imaging techniques, such as CT or MRI. However, nuclear medicine scans are more sensitive than other techniques for a variety of indications, and the functional information gained from nuclear medicine exams is often unobtainable by other imaging techniques.
Test results of diabetic patients or patients who have eaten within a few hours prior to the examination can be adversely affected because of altered blood sugar or blood insulin levels.
Because the radioactive substance decays quickly and is effective for only a short period of time, it is important for the patient to be on time for the appointment and to receive the radioactive material at the scheduled time. Thus, late arrival for an appointment may require rescheduling the procedure for another day.
A person who is very obese may not fit into the opening of a conventional PET/CT unit.

I followed the link Brian gave earlier, to the new Lego Dynamic Blocks and Mini-Blocks. When I scrolled down the page I saw something else that was not there yesterday ...
"The Legacy Block library adds support for RCX actions and sensors to the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software. There is a new block for the RCX motor, lamp, touch sensor, light sensor, rotation sensor and temperature sensor.
NOTE: In order to connect the RCX sensors to the NXT, a converter cable is required. "
This has been eagerly anticipated by everyone with both the retail NXT kit, and an old Mindstorms RCX .
The Legacy Library is available as English, French, German, Japanese or Dutch downloads.

PS As previously mentioned on The NXT Step, the converter cables are sold by Lego's online shop: http://shop.lego.com/

I still want an Educational version....So many great parts, cables, and the Rechargable Battery/charger...etc., etc. Those are way better reasons in my book!

You don't need the conveter cable at all, you need is one RCX cable and one NXT cable. You cut and strip both wires and twist both (+to+ -to-)......And Presto!

The tax filing deadline of March 17 for corporations and April 15 for individuals, partnerships and trusts is fast approaching. In order to make your life and your accountant's life easier, here are some tips to facilitate the preparation.
What can I do in February?
Begin to gather your tax information.
Employers need to send their employees their W-2 forms and 1099 forms by January 31. Investment firms start sending out their form 1099s around this time also. Put these documents in a folder to send to your accountant.
Look through these documents carefully to be sure that income and withholding amounts look correct. Look through your investment statements to see that you have cost basis for any sales made during the year. If the cost basis is missing, start to gather that information now.
Your mortgage company will send a form 1098 listing the interest expense paid and the principal balance at the end of the year. This is typically the largest deduction for an individual taxpayer.
Meet with your accountant now. In February, he or she will have more availability than in March and April and can meet with you to discuss your tax return, to plan for the current tax year, and to review any changes or significant transactions.
You can also ask your accountant what is the best way for you to send him the information you are gathering. For example, my firm, Kaufman Rossin, has a secure portal that our clients can post their documents to as they receive them. We then organize the documents and prepare the return or part of the return when we have a sufficient amount of information. Other accountants may want you to send the information only when all the information is available.

Rooney receives Chief of Mission flagPosted by on January 9, 2013 – 2:38 pm
Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney was honored by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday when she presented him with the Chief of Mission (COM) flag for his service as the United States Ambassador to Ireland. Rooney served as the Ambassador from July, 2009 until December, 2012, when he returned to Pittsburgh.
Clinton welcomed Rooney and his wife Patricia to the State Department and thanked him for his work in Ireland, before presenting him the COM flag and Mrs. Rooney an American flag.
Rooney became the first U.S. Ambassador to visit all 32 counties in Ireland, both North and South, and worked toward the peace efforts and bolstering the economy.
"Madame Secretary, before I left for Ireland, you asked me to strengthen the friendship and ties between Ireland and the United States," Rooney said after accepting the flag. "You charged me to keep a special watch on the peace process and to look for ways we could better partner with the Irish government to advance the cause of peace. This is what I have always tried to do. And I believe that is what I have done.
"The peace in the North is still a process. It is an ongoing effort. But we have hope. Things are better and they will continue to get better, despite issues needing to be resolved."
Rooney also presented Clinton with an official game ball that he signed as an appreciation for her service as Secretary of State.
"I am an American of Irish heritage," said Rooney. "Ireland has always been special to me and I have a deep love for the Irish people. I have had a lifelong commitment to advancing the relationship between the American and Irish people. I thank you and President (Barack) Obama for your trust and for the privilege of serving as Ambassador of the United States."

Baidu v27 beta:
Baidu v3 stable (beta v23):
Baidu by Bruno (multilanguage):
What`s so special about this rom?
Well it is like Google made a rom for G300, only this one is the chinese "Google" company.
Original UI, ICS 4.0.4, good memory management, great 2g/3g use,
low consumption - you can leave wifi and gps on permanently - you`ll see
In call recording, volume button wake up, stock camera OCR, SMS pop-up...
-Removed chinese apps, well ~99% is exorcised.
-Removed chinese cwm (you get that one in the original release )
-Corrected installation script for U8815 (it looks for U8818 otherwise)
-Corrected installation script for chinese recovery instalation
Simple, huh?
EDIT: Recommended version is ROM20!
Download Link: (Baidu ROM20, ROM21, ICS Google apps, HwIme keyboard, file manager from Shendu):
LATEST BUILD -> ROM22 of 25.02.2013.:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=302805&uk=2953035163Details are here:
Installation instructions (for OTA check the above link):
- You have to have ICS (baseband 2030), rooted, unlocked bootloader and a recovery (cwm, maybe twrp)
- Download zip file (rom), gapps for ICS, HwIme or another and transfer that to SDcard
- Turn on debugging on your phone, turn off fast boot, turn off phone (some folks remove battery now:))
- Press vol. up and power button together for 10 seconds.
- You are in CWM now (probably)
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Mounts: Format System, Cache, Cust, Data
- Advanced: Wipe Dalvik cache, battery stats if you have them, Reboot recovery
- Install zip from SDcard -> choose zip -> your rom (zip)
- Install zip from SDcard -> choose zip -> gapps for ICS (zip)
- Reboot to system
- while installation you`ll get "random offset" message. It is normal - google that.
Leave your phone now for 5 minutes, let it take a breath.
Skip Google intro.
You don`t have a keyboard yet, so go to your rom`s file manager and find HwIme keyboard, install it.
Change default lock screen to slide (default one is slow): Settings -> Security -> Lock Screen -> Slide
Go to Developer options in settings and switch off animations.
Few more things:
You can flash OC kernels with this rom, but loosing BT functionality then
In ROM21, go to Menu - Preferences - Turn off Bulletin and Spring festival animation

Online compilation of the Gale Literary Criticism Series. Provides access to criticism (excerpts or full-text) published from an author's own time to the present as well as biographical information and some historical context. The criticism includes scholarly and popular commentary from broadsheets, pamphlets, encyclopedias, books, and journals. Includes three collections: Nineteenth-Century Literature Criticism, Poetry Criticism, and Short Story Criticism.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

This is the Volvo Concept Estate, and goodness, isn't it rather lovely?
The third study from Volvo's new design boss Thomas Ingenlath - following the also-rather-nice Concept Coupe and Concept XC Coupe - the Concept Estate is a three-door shooting brake that harks back to Volvo's P1800 ES of the Seventies. It's also a hint at the styling of the new XC90 SUV, which arrives this autumn.
This is the Volvo Concept Estate
Scandinavia's finest shows shooting brake design study with swoopy touchscreen tech. Pretty, isn't it?
This is the Volvo Concept Estate, and goodness, isn't it rather lovely?
But the great Volvo doesn't want you looking at the exterior of the Concept Estate, however lovely it may be. Volvo wants you to admire the Concept Estate's dash and centre console, which, it says, previews a new in-car control system that will span the new generation of Volvos.
Said control system is based around a massive iPad-esque touchscreen supplemented by but a single row of buttons, doing away with the festival of switchgear found in the current crop of Volvos. That touchscreen responds to all the pinch'n'swipe gestures you'll be familiar with from your smartphone, though Volvo is keen to stress the screen won't distract you with a cheeky game of Angry Birds.
"It is fine for an ordinary tablet to compete for your full attention, but a touchscreen in a car is very different," says Ingenlath. "Information must be clear and user-friendly, without turning up the visual volume so much that you risk losing focus on the road."
We've tested touchscreens good and bad in recent months, and are yet to be convinced they currently offer an improvement on the, erm, 'control knob' systems used by BMW and Mercedes with iDrive and Comand respectively. It'll be interesting to see if design-focused Volvo can nail it at last.
No word on what engine lurks beneath the Concept Estate, but it's safe to assume it'll be a 2.0-litre four-cylinder from the company's new standardised range of powerplants.
So it's unlikely to be a BMW M3-beater, but that just gives you more time to admire the Concept Estate's lovely cockpit, with its Scandinavian-hunting-lodge wood and check seats.
If at least some of this car's interior and exterior pizzazz makes it onto the next generation of Volvos, are we heading into another golden era for the Swedes?

How New England Can Save the World: Part II in a series
Part I: 2011 Biathalon World Cup: Aroostook County
Part III: Hardwick and the New Frontier of Food
Part IIII: A Bang for Your Buck in the Berkshires
When Michael Wood-Lewis and his wife, Valerie, moved from Washington, D.C., to the south end of Burlington, Vermont, in 1998, "we'd landed in what we thought was our dream neighborhood. It was walkable, near the lake, full of trees. But we were having trouble getting to know the neighbors.
One night, we were sitting around the dinner table talking about it. It hit us that in the Midwest and the South, where we were from, people brought cookies to their neighbors. We'd been here a year–where were our cookies?"
Hence plan one. They baked up a batch of Toll House specials and delivered them to the neighbors. "We used china plates, because I figured that way they'd have to return them and we'd get another conversation," Wood-Lewis recalls. "We never did get them back. I was kind of dumbfounded. But I don't think it was because people were rude. I think it's because people are living in a different culture than they were 50 years ago."
A culture busier and more distracted than ever–busy enough that even in Vermont, the state with the biggest rural population percentage in the Union, famous for its town meetings and its civic engagement, something had changed. So, in 2000, Wood-Lewis cooked up plan two, which may just turn out to be one of the most innovative (and deceptively obvious) uses of the Internet so far. In his hands, the Net has become a way to meet not people half a world away, but half a block.
"I invested $15 at the copy shop, printed up 400 fliers, and put one on every door in our neighborhood," Wood-Lewis explains. "It pretty much just said, 'Share messages about lost cats and block parties.'" Thus was born the Five Sisters Neighborhood Forum, which he ran as a volunteer effort for six years. "It took about five minutes a day, and I was already on the computer anyway," he notes. Every evening he'd compile the five or six messages that had arrived at his inbox during the day and send them out in a single e-mail bulletin. That was it.

CANBERRA, Australia – The Australian government has abandoned its 5-year-old pledge to mandate a filter blocking child pornography and other objectionable Internet content.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said Friday that instead of a compulsory filter being imposed, Internet service providers have agreed to block 1,400 child abuse websites on INTERPOL's "worst of" list.
Three of Australia's largest telecommunications companies -- Telstra, Optus and Primus -- have been blocking the listed sites since 2010.
"We've actually reached agreement with the industry to block child pornography and we think that is a significant step forward," Conroy told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.
Critics had said the proposed legislated filter would have put Australia in the same censorship league as China. Even the U.S.

The code "Zone 00 Dealer 500" holds special significance for Corvette devotees. It's the designation that, when found on a Vette's tank sticker, identifies the car as having been purpose-built for official corporate use and never delivered to a dealer. In some cases, the code denotes a Chevy Engineering Corvette that was supposed to be crushed before leaving the GM proving grounds.
Option code L71 is also of special import to the Corvette community. It identifies the highly sought-after 427/435 "Tri-power" big-block that was available from '67 through '69. Having a Vette with "Zone 00 Dealer 500" heritage or the L71 option is like gold in the pocket, but possessing one with both is a near impossibility.
NHRA racer Pat Musi, of Carteret, New Jersey, owns one of these ultra-rare Corvettes, and he agreed to tell VETTE what he knows about its provenance.
"[The car] was ordered on July 25, 1966, apparently built for test purposes, and invoiced to Chevy Engineering at the beginning of the '67 production year," he explained. "On the bottom of the tank sticker, it says 'Ship to GM Proving Grounds, Caswell,' which I believe references the GM Proving Grounds in Mesa, Arizona."
Musi first saw the car in 1985, when a good friend of his, Harry Delprete, bought it from a gentleman in Texas who claimed to have purchased it in a "back door" arrangement from GM. The seller informed Delprete that these Chevrolet Engineering Corvettes were never meant to leave the corporate fold.
Some 20 years later, Musi purchased the big-block beauty from Delprete and treated it to a concours restoration. His goal was to honor the men of Chevy Engineering who he believes tested this Vette in the early months of the '67 production year. He outsourced the body and paint work to Liberty Auto Body, of Stamford, Connecticut, whose technicians stripped the Sting Ray of its trim, accessories, and interior, then carefully removed the original paint.
"We didn't want to damage the body, [so we] sanded it all by hand," Liberty's owner, John Schroeder, told us. "To recreate the Corvette's factory appearance, we used DuPont 131S primer, and PPG Marlboro Maroon and Tuxedo Black paints in original-style lacquer. The National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) accepts acrylic enamel, but that wasn't what the factory did, and so it was not what Pat would accept on his car."
In the meantime, Musi performed all the mechanical work himself, duplicating the factory's assembly-line specifications on every component. He explained that although he could have enlisted a Corvette restorer to rebuild the Vette's mechanicals, in his opinion, no one else in the Corvette community knows big-blocks like he does. After hearing the depth of experience Musi has with Chevy's Rat motor, we're inclined to agree.
Musi's first car was a '69 427 L36 Corvette that he street raced before joining the NHRA. From 1974 to 1989, he ran in the Pro Stock class, ranking as high as Fourth in the world in 1981. In 1989, he built the World's Fastest Street Car, a '69 Camaro that topped 200 mph in the quarter and won eight world championships in the National Muscle Car Association's (NMCA) Pro Street division. "My expertise in Chevy big-blocks comes from 20 years of professional racing," Musi told us. "Back in the day, there were no aftermarket blocks. My race engines were Chevy 427s, [so] I know these engines inside and out."
The block in Musi's rare Ray features a 4.280/3.760-inch bore/stroke combination, 6.135-inch "dimple" rods, and TRW 0.030-over dome pistons. "Many guys sleeve the block and return the engine to a stock bore, but I was concerned it would weaken the block," he explained. The rectangular closed-chamber heads feature 106.8cc chambers, 2.190/1.720-inch valves, and GM 1.7-ratio stamped-steel rocker arms.
The original GM flat-tappet cam was not available, so Musi pursued an alternate plan. "I'm friends with Richard Iskenderian of Isky Cams, [so I] sent him the 427's original stick. Isky profiled it, determined it had 244/244-degrees duration, 0.520/0.520-inch lift, and a 114-degree LSA, and produced an exact replacement."

Statues of angels are a standard, classic addition to most gardens. No matter what the decorating theme may be, they fit in surprisingly well perhaps because they exhibit a blend of mysticism and otherworldly peace. Angels also come in more forms than most people realize. In addition to the classic, statuesque and majestic angels that grace the ramparts and entranceways to European cathedrals, there are angels in mourning, and sleeping cherubs.
There are also depictions of heavenly beings that are sculpted into wall decor and these make for exquisite decorations indeed. The Thoughts of an Angel Sculptural Wall Roundel is one such work of art. This simply beautiful wall decor is made timeless with rounded gentle lines, and peaceful details. Whether displayed on a quiet garden wall or in the intimacy of the home, it will act as elegant, lovely, angelic decor.
