Scanner at Delhi hospital shows promise in cancer treatment
New Delhi: A state-of-the-art body scanner has been set up at the Apollo hospital which detects cancerous cells quickly, and may go a long way in timely selection of treatment for cancer patients, officials of the hospital said Wednesday.
The Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance (PET-MR) has been combined with PET Computerised Tomography (CT) to create the PET Suite which scans patients quicker, thus reducing discomfort and helping in therapy selection and treatment.
"Since they (doctors) can simultaneously acquire data from the whole body, the scanning takes less time, thus, reducing the discomfort of the patient," Prathap C. Reddy, chairman of the Apollo Hospitals Group, told reporters here.
"As MR has no radiation, this machine can significantly reduce the overall radiation dose, making it safer for paediatrics and patients undergoing repeated studies for therapy monitoring," he added.
Compared to hospitals abroad, "the cost is 75 percent less and diagnostic accuracy is 100 percent," said Uma Ravishankar, head of the department of molecular imaging and nuclear medicine.
Besides detecting cancer, PET-MR can also play a major role in understanding cardiology and neurological diseases, doctors said.
The PET Suite will be formally launched Feb 16 by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
India has approximately three million cancer patients.

More ambulances for region
The East of England Ambulance Service is to put 15 extra ambulances on the road and recruit 200 new staff.
The East of England Ambulance Service is to put 15 extra ambulances on the road and recruit 200 new staff.
The Health minister and North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb has welcomed news that the East of England is to get more ambulances and paramedics.
Mr Lamb said: ""I have persistently highlighted the problem of unacceptably slow response times, taking up concerns from the public and from ambulance staff themselves. The key thing now is that these steps bring improvements in the service for patients."
The East of England Ambuance Trust has announced it is putting 15 more full-time ambulances on the roads from Monday. It follows months of criticism over poor response times and cuts to services.
There will also be a recruitment drive for 200 more frontline staff.
Norwich City have signed former Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Jake Kean on a two-year deal.

The Holy Cross Chamber Orchestra performing under Eric Culver's direction in Brooks Concert Hall. Image by Matthew Atanian
Eighteen members of the College of the Holy Cross' Chamber Orchestra will perform in collaboration with several Worcester cultural organizations and colleges and universities for the second annual Worcester Symphonic Concert on Saturday, March 22 at 3 p.m. at Mechanics Hall. The featured pieces include Mozart's Symphony No. 35 "Haffner" and Haydn's Symphony No. 104 "London," with additional music provided by the band and jazz band programs of Worcester colleges during both the concert and the post-event reception.
Peter Sulski, lecturer and violinist at the College, originated the Worcester Symphonic Project and is the current artistic director. The concert unites musicians of all ages both amateur and professional, where artists have the opportunity to perform in the city's renowned Mechanics Hall. The project presents the performers with a unique learning opportunity, offering the chance to be involved with a performance where the process is more important than the end result.
Eric Culver, a lecturer and director of the Holy Cross Chamber Orchestra, is one of two conductors for the Worcester Symphonic Project. "One learns best from teaching, as one has to organize one's thoughts well and really understand how to approach technique," Culver said, explaining how his student performers are benefitting through engagement with other musicians. "Younger participants in this project also benefit from the process of osmosis, just by sitting with stand partners with more experience during rigorous rehearsals."
Holy Cross is a charter member and has hosted all of the Worcester Symphonic Project's rehearsals in Brooks Concert Hall. However, Culver expressed special excitement for the final performance venue, both for its prestige and for its role in the Worcester community.
"Not least of the many benefits of this project is our performance in 150-year-old Mechanics Hall, one of the great concert spaces on the East Coast and a real professional venue," said Culver. "We are supported by the Music Worcester organization, one of the oldest presenting organizations in the country, and are able to reach out to the community in a big way with this concert."
Other performers include students from Assumption College, Clark University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as well as younger student musicians from schools and area music schools, and amateur and professional adult musicians.
For additional information please call the Holy Cross music department at (508) 793-3503.

Gabrielle McGeein

Participant in Accra, Ghana
Ghana was the first country on the African continent to gain independence after colonization. Having been occupied by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, Ghana still maintains much of the culture from these countries. Castles dot the landscape and forts and palaces are still in use in many parts of the country. Ghana has many miles of beautiful beaches, a rain forest that is home to rare primate species and a game park in the Northern region.
Modern Ghanaians still treasure their roots, and evidence of this is present in every aspect of society. Clothing is made from bright, colorful batiks, and men still wear toga-like clothing for special occasions. Ghana is a shopper's paradise. Intricately hand-carved sculptures and batik cloths are abundant and, of course, there's the gold for which the Gold Coast is famous. The government, stable now after many years of coups, is nurturing a growing economy in hopes of limiting its dependence on international monetary aid.

Chorus rating to be reviewed
Relevant offers
Chorus investors have taken comfort from comments by the prime minister over the Commerce Commission's draft ruling on broadband pricing and brushed off a possible Moody's downgrade.
After falling more than 14 per cent to $2.91 yesterday, Chorus shares opened up 4 cents at $2.95.
Analyst Morningstar cut its valuation of Chorus shares by 10 per cent to $3.60 but still advised investors to "accumulate" shares in the company.
It said it expected a better outcome for wholesale broadband pricing when the commission finalised its pricing decision in June, than in its draft ruling published yesterday.
Ratings agency Moody's will review and may downgrade Chorus' credit ratings in the wake of yesterday's draft ruling by the Commerce Commission that could cut the price Chorus can charge for broadband connections.
Moody's put Chorus' "Baa2" issuer and senior unsecured ratings on review for possible downgrades.
The commission's draft decision would likely have a material impact on Chorus' credit profile, if implemented, that would be "inconsistent with a Baa2 profile", senior analyst Maurice O'Connell said.
"We note that the proposal ... is currently in draft form and that it remains subject to 'robust consultation with all parties'. Nevertheless, at this stage, the potential for a final adverse outcome on Chorus' credit profile is meaningful," he said.
Chorus yesterday dodged a bullet from regulators only to step into the path of a rumbling tank.
The commission trimmed the price Chorus could charge for phone lines by less than $1 a month to $23.52, having threatened a $5 cut in May.
But it proposed slashing the price Chorus can charge for broadband connections by more than $12 from $21.46 to $8.93, from December 2014. That sent its shares down 49 cents to $2.91. Chorus' broadband connections are usually sold along with a phone line.
Chorus said the combined effect of the decisions, if the broadband price cut was confirmed in June, would be to knock $170 million to $180m off its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda).
The price changes would have the effect of narrowing the differential between the cost of broadband services that were delivered using unbundled phone lines and internet providers' own equipment, versus those wholesaled from Chorus.
Kordia New Zealand chief executive Scott Bartlett said that could have the immediate effect of removing internet providers' financial incentive to unbundle Chorus' exchanges.
"I think Chorus has had a very good day. If I wasn't conflicted, I might go out and buy some Chorus shares," he said.
CallPlus chief executive Mark Callander said it would need to "completely review" its own plans to unbundle a further 100 Chorus exchanges. Both he and Bartlett said yesterday's announcements could kill investment in superfast copper broadband technology VDSL2.
Telecom was the obvious beneficiary of the commission's announcements, Callander said, as it was currently banned from unbundling but would see its costs fall if a big wholesale broadband price cut was confirmed.
The commission had to review the price of Chorus' copper services as a result of two government decisions made at the time it gave approval for the $3.5 billion ultrafast broadband network.
One was to set a single nationwide price for unbundled phone lines, and the other was to change the methodology for regulating wholesale copper broadband pricing from one that set the price at a discount to Telecom's retail prices to one based on a mark-up on Chorus' costs.
Telecommunications Commissioner Stephen Gale said all the commission could do was calculate those costs, not add a margin "to help out UFB", and as such there was "no way [Chorus] can miss out on what is promised in the legislation".
Gale said it was a decision for ministers whether it was time for another approach. Prime Minister John Key signalled yesterday that was a possibility.
He did not rule out using legislation to overturn the proposed broadband price cut yesterday. Speaking at the post-Cabinet press conference, Key told reporters that the commission's report posed problems for the roll out of ultrafast broadband (UFB).
"It has significant implications both for [Chorus] and for UFB. It substantially reduces the income of that company and its capacity around broadband," he said.
Chorus said it had "very serious concerns" about the potential impact of the commission's decisions, which could require Chorus to "fundamentally rethink its business model, capital structure and approach to dividends".
"The world is watching to see if New Zealand's world-leading ultrafast broadband policy and the demerger of Chorus as a wholesale-only company will be a success story," it said.
Chief executive Mark Ratcliffe said the company planned to talk to the Government.
"At the very least, we believe that the Government should immediately look to bring forward the regulatory review already required by legislation in 2016, in order to bring about a sustainable framework next year that will support the ultrafast broadband vision," he said.

One in ten consumers only listen to music digitally
A survey has revealed that 11% of UK consumers only listen to music digitally - shunning cassettes, records and the (technically digital, we know) CD in favour of MP3s and music streaming services.
A full 57% of consumers listen to music digitally, with 51% of those using an MP3 player. 33% of 16-24-year-olds said that their life would be "impossible" without new technology, which does seem to be overstating the case just a little.
The survey is from Mintel, and the company's senior consumer analyst, Suzanne Smith, said: "Although internet-enabled mobile phones have been around for some years, it was the UK release of the Apple iPhone in 2007 that sparked major changes in the mobile phone market and in the way UK consumers use their phones".
Our CD collection is certainly gathering dust these days, but we're actually listening to more vinyl records than ever. How about you? Has the move to digital changed your habits, or are you still treasuring your cassettes? Tell us below.

A great few hour to spend perusing the goods at the market.
As is usual at a farmers market the prices are higher than normal but the fare is authentic.
Boasting a large variety of fresh foods of all sorts. Plenty of craftspeople and some people just reselling goods for profit.
Even if you don't buy anything it's worth the...
Quite a neat market with a wide variety of products on offer. If crowds aren't your thing I would suggest getting there early because it gets and stays busy.
If you're in Penticton on a Saturday the farmer's market is a must visit! Go hungry and head to the north end by Okanagan Lake for all the local fare. The Rotary Club also sometimes has a classic car show by the water that is worth a visit.
Biggest and best Farmer's market I have seen in BC so far. Tons of vendors, lots of selection, great location. A must do for anyone visiting Penticton.
A must do in Penticton. You don't have to buy a thing but definately go for the atmosphere. It's THE place to be Saturday morning. Tons of fresh local products and artisan items. We take all our guests here.
What a great set up for the Farmer's Market. Streets are shut down, stores remain open and there is plenty to do. Musicians play, buskers busk and sellers sell. What a wonderful opportunity to eat some nice food and people watch. It's open from 9am to 1pm every Saturday throughout the summer. It's nothing like the one in Kelowna; it's...
Cannot be missed. Not just because most of Main St. is blocked off at this end of town, but because it's such a great atmosphere. Food is awesome, especially the Chorizo from A Taste of Argentina. I Wanna Waffle is delicious and the Indian Food Truck combo is awesome too. The Iranian booth has great Falafal and Hummus and the...
Went to the market with my kids on Canada Day while we were visiting family & it was awesome. Lots if different vendors as well as food trucks so we got to try all the different foods. They also has bouncy castles set up for kids which was by donation & huge hit with my kids. I will go back...
If you want the best veggies and fruit available IN SEASON..this is the place! We should eat what the seasons bring us! Not exported treated items!
Lots of great fruit and veggies, artisan stalls, and generally a fun atmosphere. The farmers market offers a wide range of products, most produced locally. The only issue I ever encounter being on a mobility aid, being able to move through the crowds. It is very busy, so arrive early, and remember Main St is closed during the market

DEFINITION of 'Matching Orders'
The process for executing securities trades by pairing buy orders with sell orders. Matching orders utilize algorithms which determine how orders are matched and in what order they are filled, which subsequently differ based on the venue to which the trade is routed. One common algorithm used in matching orders utilizes first in, first out (FIFO), which prioritizes assets acquired first to be filed for selling first.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Matching Orders'
Today, most trade matching is done using powerful computers with millions of transactions completed each day. In the past, trading was done through an open outcry system, and execution was performed through a face to face interaction. Traders are concerned with order matching because they not want to miss profit opportunities due to slower than expected order executions.

Blog DVD Reviews: The Smurfs Season 1, Volume 2 and South Park - The Cult of Cartman: Revelations (October 7)
The Smurfs: Season 1, Volume 2 (Warner, $26.98) brings us the second half of the first season of the classic Saturday morning animated series that lasted nearly a decade on DVD. Handy, Hefty, Grouchy, Brainy, Jokey, Clumsy, Lazy, Dreamy, Smurfette, Papa Smurf and more of your favorite little blue people bring you the greatest show on Smurf are all back in more fun adventures. It's Season One, Vol. 2 of The Smurfs, home of the powder-blue pixies who have a way with words and have way-out adventures as they come face to face with Gargamel, Hogatha, Bigmouth, an abominable Snowbeast, and even a rampaging robot Smurf!
Let's now move on to the packaging. It's very similar to the last set...we have a thin outer box that holds a very thin digipak case. The front cover of both the box and case are the same, we see the land of Smurf in the background as the Smurfs are at play with Gargamel and Azrael looking through the bushes in a nice and blue sky. The title of the show is on the top, with a mention below that that this is Season One, Volume Two in yellow lettering! To the back of the box we go, we get a nice synopsis of the series, along with details on the "Enchanting Extra." We see Smurfette with a butterfly and Papa Smurf as the evil Gargamel is watching. When we open the case, we get more colorful backgrounds. On the left we have a disc-by-disc breakdown of what we can expect episode title wise and special features wise. The left also has a nice green grass background near a water stream with two Smurfs on a boat. On the right side, we see both discs...overlapping each other again, ugh...I hate that. Both discs are in a yellow background with four or five Smurfs characters on each disc with an item they are known for. When you remove both discs from the case, you can see the continuation of the image from the left side, as Gargamel and Azrael are in the water stream with more Smurfs on the green grass. The back of the case has another nice background with a blue sky and nice green gash with a lot of mushrooms as Jokey with his present and Hefty on a rock.
The menu screens are very nice. We see the land of Smurf in the background with Gargamel and Azrael approaching. It is very colorful. The catchy theme is playing in the background. Auto trailer for not pirating DVDs starts off disc one before the main menu comes. Options for the main menu are: Play, Episodes, Languages, Special Features (disc 2 only). Languages has an option to turn on English subtitles. Episodes have a list of episodes obviously. And Special Features list the one featurette and Trailers for other Warner Home Video sets like the Charlie Brown Holiday Collection.
The video and audio is tremendous once again. The Smurfs never looked better. The packaging states that the episodes are remastered. I am very impressed, as I was with the first volume. As a reminder, originally season one was an hour-long show on Saturdays with three mini episodes in the hour, however after about 2-3 episodes they started to repeat one of the mini episodes from the previous week the following week so they can cover the full hour. The episodes usually lasted approx. 12 min, 12 min, and 24 min or so for the full hour. So it makes NO sense on this DVD to have some repeats of a mini episode, so Warner has removed the repeats. There are no chapter stops on this set, but the mini episodes are easier to get to now, as you can choose the episode title from the menu. The mini episodes are about 12:30-13:00 and the full episodes are about 23:30 or more. The season finale is in the full one-hour form and three episodes in the hour (12:57/22:10/12:30), so I guess they didn't need to repeat anything then originally. I don't know how they could have handled this, but they split season one in half (meaning in these two volumes), so they could have just left the repeats in there so we could get the original NBC versions since they did this splitting nonsense. I know that would be weird to have repeats, but why split them up in two volumes anyway? I would have rather have season 1 in full without the repeats on 4 or 5 discs...that would work the best and it would have fit. The show has like 9 seasons, splitting them up in two volumes per season would be too much. I hope for Season 2 we get it all one ONE set and not two volumes...or we would need about 18 sets to finish the entire series, which is crazy.
As for special features, we get the featurette "I Smurf the Smurfs!" It runs 16:39 and is a lovefest on how people still love...err smurf the Smurfs! It has interviews with some of the writers (Marc Zicree, Mel Gilden) and voice artists from the show, including Lucille Bliss (Smurfette), June Foray (Jokey) and Danny Goldman (Brainy) and some actors who grew up or had their kids watching the show in its original run like Jo Marie Payton (Perfect Strangers, Family Matters), Candace Cameron (Full House), Persia White (Girlfriends), Debbie Allen (producer of A Different World), and Catherine Hicks (7th Heaven). It's really a fun extra!
I highly do recommend this set for any Smurfs fan and classic animation in general. The set is Smurftastic, but as with the first volume it could have been so much better. The special feature is so much better than the last set but the episode situation is still a mixed bag...I don't know how I would have handled it, but one thing for sure is I would not have split the season in two volumes. Other than that, the episodes are great and look great, too. I hope season two is out very soon and we get it all in one shot rather than two volumes. They better Smurf to it and get the job done. But before we get ready to Smurf to season two, click below to order this DVD, if you haven't already. You better Smurf to it before Gargamel and his lazy cat Azrael see you with the DVD. Enjoy the Smurftastic DVD before they get their hands on it and see how badly they are portrayed!

South Park - The Cult of Cartman: Revelations (Comedy Central DVD, $26.98) allows you, the viewer, to join a very special religious order, that of Eric Theodore Cartman. The two-disc DVD set brings together twelve very important life lessons (each presented in its own 22 minute episode) about living the lifestyle of a... Cartmanian?
This DVD set is very special before you even get a chance to open it. The first thing that you'll notice is that the set is presented like a hardcover book... as it is the "bible" of The Cult of Cartman. It is very heavy and sturdy packaging, and it opens up to reveal the two discs inside, where you will find each of the important life lessons.
When you place each disc in your DVD player, you are NOT presented with a "Comedy Central DVD" logo... in a very creative move, we get a "Presented by The Eric Theodore Cartman Society" logo, followed by all of the disclaimers... but even during the disclaimers, we here Cartman announce "I'm waiting." After you get through that, you get an animated menu with Cartman introducing himself and what the DVD is all about... but hurry up, because he does get impatient on the menus if you don't select a lesson quickly enough! The menu presents you with six choices of life lessons, or episodes, per disc.
Once you select one of the lessons, you get an introduction to that lesson from Cartman himself, all-new animation created exclusively for this DVD set. It is very fun to watch, and to hear some of his life lessons--which are lessons that we wouldn't all exactly want to live by! Basically, he stands in front of a white background, where the life lesson appears on the background, then talks about the lesson.
In the first life lesson, we learn the importance of retaliation, as we discover through the episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die." This is the first episode in which we truly see Eric Cartman's evil side, but according to The Cult of Cartman, we learn that this is acceptable. In "Awesom-O," we learn a lesson about taking jokes too far. Cartman appears from the dead... sort of... in "The Death of Eric Cartman." In the two-part episode "Cartoon Wars," the series (or more specifically Cartman) takes on South Park. Cartman decides that Tourette's Syndrome is the way to get what he wants (even if he doesn't have Tourette's Syndrome) in "Le Petit Tourette."
Cartman may have given Kyle AIDS (don't ask) in "Tonsil Trouble." In "Eek, a Penis!," Cartman does his best to educate the youth while his teacher Mrs. Garrison is on a quest to become Mr. Garrison once again. Cartman opens up his own theme park in "Cartmanland." Cartman takes part in the Special Olympics in "Up the Down Steroid." Super Fun Time has Cartman and Butters holding hands while they cut during the school field trip, and Butters worrying about the consequences. Cartman teaches us when it is OK to discriminate in "Ginger Kids."
The video and audio quality on the set are great, with no true problems to note at all. They've even corrected the "closing credits problem" that was seen when these episodes were released on season sets, where the sets retained the Comedy Central closing credits (the "original" ones are found on this set). Each episode is closed-captioned for those that require closed-captioning and runs over 22 minutes in length.
The DVD is full of style and flash, but the substance just isn't there when it comes to special features. The only special features are the introductions to each episode, presented as a lesson by Cartman. This is a unique DVD set, so things like commentaries and interviews with creators, as well as behind-the-scenes items, would NOT be appropriate, but why not an animated interview with Cartman talking about how his church stands above the rest? Or how about a commercial advertising this church? They could have gone all out on these things, but unfortunately they didn't.
As all is said and done, this is a very nice set in how it is presented, but if you're just looking for episodes, head for the season sets. There are only three episodes on this set that are not yet on DVD, and that is because they are from the current season. Some of these episodes have been on DVD a few times already even. But if you are a fan of the series and want to learn about Cartman's church, you'll love this set. Those that want to own everything South Park will definitely want to have this. And oh yeah, don't forget, as Cartman keeps reminding us on these DVDs, we all die in 2012... wait, that isn't a very positive message.

Inquiring minds want to know. :) Ric Assuming you are talking about flashing your BIOS from within Linux, and not just flashing the BIOS of you Linux system using a DOS boot disk... I haven't done it in a while, but it can be done, depending support for your motherboard. At the time, about 7 years ago, there was a utility named, I think, flashbios, that could burn you a new BIOS from within a running Linux system. It was really handy cause there was no need to boot to a DOS sloppy, first. Flashing from Linux is possible cause Linux doesn't use the BIOS. Once it boot, you can remove the BIOS chip. I used to have a ZIF socked installed so that I could put new chips in and out without trouble. I would use my system to flash multiple chips for other folks to use. The tricky part is that flashbios needs to know about your motherboard and your BIOS chip. I also think that maybe I was sent a copy of the program from the MB manufacturer and it may not have been open source. Michael

Bumper Boxing Day for retailers
Relevant offers
Canterbury retailers received a belated Christmas present, taking in more than $12 million as part of a nationwide Boxing Day windfall.
Paymark figures released this afternoon have cheered businesses throughout the country, with a 13.4 per cent increase for Boxing Day sales figures across New Zealand compared with 2011.
The company, which processes about 75 per cent of all electronic transactions in New Zealand, processed over two million transactions worth a total of $120m - a $14.2m increase on last year's sales.
Canterbury retailers raked in $12.1m, with the region's 13.1 per cent increase just below the national average.
Nationally, Gisborne took top place with a 22.9 per cent increase, while Marlborough's 7.5 per cent was the lowest of the 17 regions.
Paymark sales and marketing head Paul Whiston said the figures were a "fantastic finish" to the holiday period, with the 13.4 per cent rise providing the first double-digit increase in five years.
He said the biggest boost came in the electronics sector, with sales up 31.7 per cent on last year, while jewellery (24.4 per cent) and clothing and apparel (20.7 per cent) were also in demand.
The figures were a sign that the country was returning to the levels of growth seen before the global financial crisis, he said.
Westfield Riccarton's car park was full by 9am and cars in search of parks became repeatedly jammed at the Tower Junction shopping centre.
Westfield spokeswoman Deb McGhie said it had been a bumper day.
"There are a lot of sales being made. Whether or not that will be the same level as last year, we won't know until the end of the month," she said.
Ballantynes sales manager Liz Mills said it had been a "stonkingly" good day for the department store.
"There is certainly a lot of people around. We are delighted. This is a good day for us," she said.
"Everybody is so relaxed and smiling. The Christmas spirit is still alive and well."
Shoppers Ping Wang and Xuan Liu popped into Smiths City in Colombo St to buy a sofa after escaping from Westfield's car park.
"We got there at 9am and there were no parking spaces," Wang said.
The couple usually hit the Boxing Day sales and spent about $1500 last year on items for their baby daughter, Kayla Liu, Wang said.
It was more frantic at the Northwood Supa Centa.
Kade Atkinson struggled through the car park with a widescreen television set.
He recently finished refurbishing his Bishopdale home and thought a new TV set would match the decor.
Despite saving about $700 on the retail price, Atkinson was not too keen on the crowds.
"This is my first time going to Boxing Day sales and I'm already over it," he said.
Fendalton family Helen Han, husband Tide Lie and son Alex Lie squeezed a widescreen TV set into the back of their small car.
They saved about $500 on the retail price.
However, the set was so large it took up the boot and back seats of Han's car.
She had to wait at Northwood while her husband dropped the set home and rweturned to pick her up.
University of Canterbury senior marketing lecturer Sussie Morrish, a consumer behaviour expert, said strong pre-Christmas sales figures suggested many had done their shopping.
"Last year, the Boxing Day sales numbers in Christchurch were high. People hadn't finished their shopping before Christmas because of the December 23 quakes," she said.
Lack of parking, regular sales by big retailers and holiday burnout were possible reasons for sluggish sales at some stores.
"I think that for many shops, such as Briscoes, Rebel Sport and Smiths City, people get used to sales coming along and you can actually wait for the next one,'' she said.
"Maybe [shoppers are] still tired from Christmas celebrations and still finishing up the last bottles of wine or beer and can't be bothered to go.
''They might prefer to go for a drive or spend time with family and friends who have come to spend the holidays with them."
Price was the key factor drawing people to Boxing Day sales.
"These people [who go to shops] want instant gratification. They really want to be able to get hold of this item," Morrish said.
"They think, 'I have waited long enough until after Christmas'."

Today, the LIVESTRONG Foundation is launching a unique global competition to generate innovations advancing its mission of improving the daily quality of life for people affected by cancer now. Beginning on World Cancer Day, "The Big C competition" aims to initiate an international movement in entrepreneurship by collaborating with social innovators to create financially-sustainable enterprises that will make the world a better place – not only for the 32.5 million people living with cancer globally, but also for the family, friends and caregivers of those facing the disease. The Big C competition will be produced in partnership with Verb; an Austin-based company that runs social entrepreneurship competitions focused on the planet's most pressing problems. One of the first and biggest global challenges open to all forms of innovations — programs, services, technology, products — the Big C addresses critical issues that people facing cancer are experiencing today as identified in LIVESTRONG's research.
"For too long, a diagnosis of 'the big C' and facing cancer has been a socially taboo topic even though this disease touches everyone. By naming this competition, 'The Big C', we're taking cancer head on, encouraging a global dialogue and bringing cancer to the forefront of innovation. We want to empower individuals and teams to build solutions for those affected by the disease today," said LIVESTRONG Foundation President and CEO Doug Ulman. "With this competition, we hope to unite a global community around a common cause and change the way the world lives with cancer."
Helping cancer patients and survivors deal with daily struggles accompanying their treatment and survivorship has traditionally been an underserved market. A 2010 LIVESTRONG Foundation survey found that nearly all cancer survivors experience continued physical, emotional and practical concerns long after treatment ends. Yet many reported they did not receive help for these needs. Only half of those who experienced emotional concerns received help and just 20 percent of those with practical concerns received assistance.
Moreover, in a century filled with modern innovations and solutions for health-related issues, it is notable that out of the approximately 1,980 therapy-specific health care apps for patients and consumers, just 77 (about four percent) are geared toward cancer, the leading cause of death worldwide, according to an October 2013 IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics Report. This is just one example of how helping cancer patients and survivors deal with their daily struggles is an underserved market.
The Foundation seeks to fill that gap by opening The Big C competition to anyone with an audacious product, service or other innovation. The only requirement is that it helps those facing cancer today – people like Sarah, who thought that becoming a mom would not be possible after her cancer diagnosis, or Leon who needed more information, guidance and support to beat the disease on his terms.
To enter, participants can submit innovations to the following competition tracks:
- Rebuilding Financial Health – A Cancer Diagnosis Shouldn't Equal Financial Catastrophe
- Regaining Emotional Well-Being – Finding a Sense of Security After Cancer
- Caring for Caregivers – Families, Friends and Caregivers Are Fighting Cancer Too
- Improving Access to Quality Care – Helping Cancer Patients Get the Care They Need
- Filling the Knowledge Gap – Empowering Patients' Informed Decisions Through Education
- Open – Any innovation outside of the prescribed tracks that helps people affected by cancer
"LIVESTRONG's social innovation competition strikes at our core beliefs: the nonprofit organization that unleashes next generation talent to solve the world's biggest problems," said Echoing Green Foundation President, Cheryl L. Dorsey. "By creating the space for dialogue and new ideas, and providing critical supports to these entrepreneurs, this competition will fast-track progress and allow some of the world's most credible solutions to reach those affected by cancer today."
Teams and individuals who enter will compete for funding, expert mentoring and international exposure to a community of potential customers and investors. Sixty ventures will receive a total of $140,000 in seed funding, based on their innovation's utility, ingenuity and benefits to cancer patients and survivors. The grand prize winner will receive $25,000.
Entries are accepted until May 15, when judging begins. Of the top 150 entries, 20 will move on to the venture accelerator phase from July 14-Sept. 15, where contestants will be paired with cancer survivors and business mentors to turn their ideas into action. On Sept. 29, five finalists will be announced. Oct. 16-18, the finalists will travel to Austin, Texas, to present their innovations during the Team LIVESTRONG Challenge Austin, where the grand prize winner will be selected.
About the LIVESTRONG Foundation
The LIVESTRONG Foundation fights to improve the lives of people affected by cancer now. Created in 1997, the Foundation is known for providing free cancer support services and advocating for policies that improve access to care and quality of life. Known for its powerful brand – LIVESTRONG – the Foundation has become a symbol of hope and inspiration around the world. Since its inception, the Foundation has served 2.5 million people affected by the disease and raised more than $500 million to support cancer survivors. One of America's top non-profit organizations, the Foundation has been recognized by industry leaders including Charity Navigator, the National Health Council and the Better Business Bureau for its excellent governance, high standards and transparency.
