Best of luck at your new place!
Robert -- May success walk with you wherever you go in your life.
So where exactly do we find new posts, do you have a blog URL there?
Robert- Thanks for all of the great work and analysis. Where the hell are you headed? Best of luck - JH
Thank you for starting so many interesting conversations (and for the shout out). Where do we find you next?
Where we find TiredOf FlippingTheBill?
Is the WSJ going to continue the wealth report AR?
where are you going...?? and where can we read your blog?
I am so pissed! My favorite blog is not going to be here anymore? Please do a blog to continue this daily desert and good luck at CNBC. Stay away from that idiot Kernan in the morning.
This was also my favorite blog, most of the time comments of fellow readers were more interesting that the original posting though. Perhaps Tired Of Flipping The Bill cab take over. Thanks and best of luck.
I read the book and then found the blog. It always puzzled me that I was clearly in the top 5% of wealth for many years (all from savings and investing over time, and excluding home equity) but only in the top 10% to 20% of household income depending on the year. The blog provided interesting information about my peers, but quite frankly I never saw myself in much of the writing.
@TiredOfFlippingTheBill You want to write anonymously for my blog? I would love to have someone like you write on my blog regularly.
He is going to CNBC, click on his "I'm relocating" and you can get the information. Robert you will be missed by all in the WSJ blogoshere.
Good luck Master Robert, I will certainly miss your posts. Oh you will carry on elsewhere I will be following you. TOFTB and Old Oligarch and David I always read your comments. Sob!Sob! Blowing loudly into my hanky.
I realise this is off topic but while your blog looks nice it would be far better if you'll be able to use lighter colors too in the design. This will encourage a lot more readers come to check it out more often!

Jason -- you are a day late and a dollar short, so to speak. Robert has left the WSJ. This is the last posting in this blog. Nothing like shamelessly plugging your business while complaining.
Best of luck Robert! I do hope that the WSJ continues on with this blog....
@ TiredOfFlippingTheBill: That is known as comment spam, hoping to juice SEO. That comment is a known comment spam and seen it all over the web.
Thank you for your column, Robert.
I first learned about you on a KCBS 740 Radio interview in San Francisco and I loved what you had to say over the radio.
And, then I found your Blog/Column at WSJ.
I have learned so much from you and your readers.
You'll do great on CNBC. "Godspeed" in your new role.
And, I'll be watching....
Enjoyed it much! Good luck and God speed!
Interesting statistics about wealth:
That was a good read Anonymous.
Had'nt been in for awhile.Now I know why the RSS feed was stuck on this post.
Good luck Mr.Frank.I hope the opportunities that open up bear sweet fruit.
Look forward to reading whatever it is you're "re-branding" to.
P.S. Geez FLIP...where will I go now to read your insightful responses ?!
WSJ appears to be wrecking your "stage"...dude. :-)
I have been a faithful and very interested follower of your your work ssince you began. I really enjoy and
use your work. I am also an follower of CNBC. I look forwar to continuing to lollow you when you
start a CNBC. Thank you for your good work
Morrie Abramson
Congratulations, Robert! I'll miss the Wealth Blog.
Robert seems to be on the High Net Worth page of CNBC.
I have to admit that I am less than thrill about having to login to post, hence no posts from me there yet.
Is it safe to say, that approximately 1 out of every 9 people who live in the U.S. are rich, or is that percent to high?
Robert: Thank you for 5 years of this blog. I remember the very first post, and it seems it was a very fast 5 years! I know this crowd has at times been a tough critic, but again thanks for your contribution; it has been a valuable part of my education. I wish you success in your life's future chapters.
@TiredOfFlippingTheBill and @Peter Bradshaw, I would like to stay in touch if you are so inclined. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Best of luck over at CNBC. Will miss all the posters here on WSJ.
It's a great list of 10 most popular posts of all time maily because we get it at one place only and we don't have to search it.
Is anyone at the WSJ going to continue this Blog?
I realise it is off topic but while your site looks nice it might be much better if you'll be able to use lighter colors too from the design. This tends to encourage a lot more readers arrive at check it out more reguarily! Gun Safe Review
In it something is and it is good idea. It is ready to support you.
P.S. Please review our icons for Windows and windows13icons.
I completely agree. I really like this blog, is extremely accurate and well written,
Hey, check out my blog

Devin Knight
Dumbfounded- A New ACAAN
2085 Posts
Posted: Apr 4, 2012 7:53am
Devin Knight's original Four Told was a runaway hit. This new and improved version is even better and has a streamlined method that requires NO secret adding of numbers. It does away with the pad and uses just a few index cards, which are handed to the participants as predictions. It does away with old fashion ESP symbols and takes the effect into the 21st century by using cell phone icons found on almost all cell phones! Two different presentations for both stage and close-up are included in this new release.
One is a completely baffling impromptu mentalism effect using common smart phone symbols. Finally, you can take your routine to the streets utilizing the power of your smart phone. Imagine walking up to a group of total strangers and pulling out your phone to perform a mentalism effect using the common icon symbols everyone is familiar with. Additionally, these symbols will un-lock so much potential for performers to inject their personal style, humor, and personality in this edition of Four Told.
Four or more random spectators are shown your smart phone's screen with five smart phone symbols, such as music, e-mail, favorites, etc. The participants write nothing down, they just think of an icon symbol. There are no restrictions. Each person could be thinking of a different symbol, or they all could be thinking of the same symbol. With five different possibilities, the odds stack up quickly against the performer. The participants do not share their thoughts with each other. Since these are all common smart phone symbols that they see almost daily there are no suspicions at all. This is as clean as it gets!
The performer begins to get impressions. He says, "Straight lines are more difficult to transmit then curved lines. If the symbol you are thinking of has straight lines in it, then please close your eyes and draw the icon in your mind. See the straight lines in your mind, so I can get impressions of what you are thinking."
The performer then tells the participants to open their eyes and clear their minds. He then asks all the participants to concentrate on the colors of their icons. The performer then calls out two colors he is getting strong impressions of. He says, "If I have called out the color you are thinking of, please close your eyes and visualize it in your mind."
The performer does not ask any questions. The participants say nothing; they just close their eyes and think.
The performer then takes some index cards and hands each participant a face-down card. This is done right after calling out two colors! This will baffle those who know the old method. Only after each person is given a face-down card, does the performer ask the participants to reveal their thought-of icon symbols. Amazingly, when the face-down index cards are shown, they match each participant's thought-of symbols.
For a stunning climax, the performer points to several people in the audience or on the street and asks if they were also thinking of an icon. With no questions or fishing, the performer IMMEDIATELY reveals the icons just thought-of by members of the audience or other people on the street watching!
You can easily do this with any I-Pad, I-Phone, Android, or Blackberry device. Included is a QF-Code you can scan into your phone that brings up the special menu that appears to be your phone's real menu. If your phone doesn't scan, then there is link to the JPG so you can download it to your phone. It works with most any smart phone device.Tarot Sight #10 in the Psychic Sight Series is out. PM for details.

ICON Presents at CASFM 2008 Annual Conference.
Posted on October 13, 2011 by Zach
Crested Butte, Colorado – At the 19th Annual Colorado Association of Stormwater and Floodplain Managers conference held in Crested Butte, Colorado, September 10-12, 2008, ICON Engineering, Inc. made an entertaining presentation which incorporated a crowd pleasing video starring an animated robot and one of ICON's own engineers. The presentation was authored by ICON's own Craig Jacobson, PE, CFM and Steve Brown, PE, CFM. Entitled "When Good Pipes Turn Bad – Evaluation and Inspection of a Major Pipe Outfall System in Aurora, CO," the presentation focused on the results of ICON 's initial investigation and evaluation of a very large corrugated metal pipe (CMP) outfall system. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the existing hydraulic capacity and structural integrity of the existing storm sewer system. The study also recommended immediate and future mitigation or replacement needs. In order to accomplish the project tasks and goals, new and innovative methods were utilized throughout the project during analysis of the hydrology and pipe inspection, where a full line of robotics testing was utilized to thoroughly document the internal condition of the pipe system along with other forms of "non-destructive" testing focusing on the various areas of concern.
The City Center outfall system was constructed in 1974 and ranges in size from 84-inches to 120-inches. The overall length of the system is approximately 4,350 feet. The majority of the pipe is CMP with a paved concrete invert. This pipe system serves as the outfall for a large drainage basin within a very prominent area of the City of Aurora. In fact, the pipe system collects runoff from both the Aurora Mall and the Aurora Municipal Center located adjacent to Alameda Avenue. Using SWMM to model the hydrology, it was quickly identified that discharges had the potential to exceed the system capacity. The pipe's conveyance capacity was further complicated by the complex interaction with the adjacent City Center Detention Facility and at Alameda Avenue where the flows split between the detention pond and outfall system are highly dependent on the tailwater conditions. At the detention pond, the outfall system had the potential to both convey water out of the pond, or "bubble-up" back into the pond. Evaluation of these complex interactions surrounding the outfall system required the development of a dynamic hydrology and storm sewer model utilizing the EPA SWMM 5 program.
Three phases of testing were also completed on the outfall pipe system to evaluate the current conditions and future integrity of the pipes. First, a full line of testing utilizing a Responder Robotic platform was completed to provide: Digital Fiber-Optic Closed Circuit TV Reports (CCTV); Laser Scans for precision measurements of the internal pipe shapes diameters, deformities, and deflections; and Gas Measurements within the pipe. The second phase included comprehensive field inspection and various "non-destructive" testing methods. This testing focused on discolored and rusted areas that had the potential to be detrimental to the structural integrity of the pipe. Testing under this phase included: Visual inspection; Magnetic Particle and Liquid Penetrant testing; Ultrasonic Measurements to determine wall thicknesses; and Hardness measurements. Finally, the third phase of testing included the removal and inspection of small samples of CMP material, or "coupons", in an effort to determine the condition of the CMP material below the concrete invert. Design of a slip-lining is currently underway.

Temper Tantrums - An Opportunity to Teach Your Child How to Process Emotions
Empathy and intuition gives us the ability to better understand how we are connected to other living things. It is a form of communication with others, nature, animals, and even higher or spiritual forms of life. We are all born with empathic ability but most of us shut the sensing ability down at some point either because the energy overload causes discomjfort or we are taught not to trust our inner guidance. By shutting down our intuition and empathic ability, we live in our heads and are pretty much out of touch with our body and our own emotions.The Latin word for emotion is emovere, which means movement. Suppressing an emotion prevents the natural movement of vital energy or "chi" as it is referred to by the Chinese. As Karol Truman says in her book by the same title, "feelings buried alive never die." Denying and resisting what you feel only makes things worse because the emotions that need to move through you are then stored or "stuck" in your cells where they will demand to be dealt with at a later time.Intuitive children and teens know their personal truth. Any distortion of that truth can cause them to feel confusde, depressed, unbalanced, or even sick. When a child sutffs his feelings it creates an inward vortex of spiraling emotions that can continue to pull him downward for years to come. Childhood depression can be carried into adulthood if it is not dealt with when it first appears. If your child has bouts of depression, notice what triggers are associated with the episodes. Who has he been around? What disturbing event has occurred recently? Has someone criticized or urged him to stuff his emotions regarding an upsetting situation?In our society, we have been taught to be emotionally dishonest. We pretend to feel one thing when we truly feel another. When we are angry and our spouse asks, "What's wrong?" we pretend not to be upset. We say, "Nothing's the matter" or we give the person the silent treatment rather than calmly and rationally expressing our point of view. When we are sad, we say everything is fine, yet a large percentage of the population is taking antidepressants, which indicates that things are not fine in regards to our emotions and how we express them. When we deny what we feel or judge ourselves for feeling it, we deny an authentic part of ourselves. If we resist or ignore what is happening or what we feel, we don't allow ourselves to process the experience.I'm not advocating a full-blown, violent expression of emotions-that's just as harmful as stuffing an emotion. No one should be a victim of verbal, emotional, or physical abuse. No one enjoys watching a two-year-old throw a temper tantrum in the grocery store either, but this unrestrained expression of emotions is one of the ways children keep toxic energy from getting stuck in their bodies. Until a child learns a better, more mature way to manage his emotions, you might as well expect a few disturbing eruptions.Children aren't the only ones who need to learn how to maturely deal with their emotions in order to process and release them appropriately. I've seen adults throw a fit when they didn't get their way-a sure sign that this person was not taught how to negotiate in a omre positive manner to obtain a positive outcome in a situation.Back to the child throwing a fit, balance is the key. You can hardly ignore a child's temper tantrum, but there's no need to stop the child from expressing his emotions. The irritating behavior occurs usually because the child wants something that the parent says he can't have. Avoid the temptation to cave in and give him whatever it is that he wants just to get him to stop screaming or kicking. Make sure the child is safe and then calmly remove yourself a comfortable distance from his/her presence and do not interact with him until the outburst has ended. It may be embarrassing if the tantrum occurs in public, but this ordeal is not about you nor is it a reflection on your parenting abilities. It is a learning opportunity for both the parent and the child. Be sure to talk about the episode after the child has recomposed himself. This is a step in teaching him how to deal with upsetting situations in a healthy way that acknowledges his feelings without letting them get the best of him or harm others. Whatever we place emphasis upon will cause it to increase. So, don't dwell on the tantrum, but do talk about what's upsetting both of you and attempt to resolve the issue together. This non-blaming, non-resistant method of dealing with life's troubles will transform any relationship and give all parties the freedom to feel what they feel, express personal likes/dislikes, and be totally honest. If you do not react negatively, thhis childish behavior will end when the child learns that throwing a fit does not gain him/her the attention that was expected or accomplish what he/she intended."The sorrow that has no vent in tears may make other organs weep." ~Henry MaudsleyResistance or stuffing our emotions actually attracts more of the things, people, energy, and situations we don't want. We resist because we are fearful or in denial. We resist our emotions because we are afraid to feel. Perhaps we are afraid our emotions will take over and we will lose control. Quite the opposite is true. Our emotions, when stuffed, are silently taking over our well-being; and, building up pressure inside. These pent-up feelings may rush forth unexpectedly and cause us to be the adult throwing a temper tantrum in the grocery store! When we resist someone or something (even if it is unpleasant) rather than accept what is, it only makes things worse. Being resistant blinds us to possibilities and solutions and causes us to become stuck, defensive, shut down, and reactive. As a result, our body may feel tight, tense, or lethargic; our emotions may feel heavy, sad, or angry.Those who have developed the gift of empathy and learned to trust their intuition are more inclined to pay attention to what they sense and feel. Observing and dealing with situations as they arise allows emotional energy to flow through without getting stuck, while at the same time you remain grounded and centered.
If something is upsetting you deal with it quickly rather than denying its reality. If you notice you are in a state of resistance, do an activity that brings peace of mind, balance, and well-being. The book I am writing with Dr. Caron Goode can help. Caron is the award winning author of Raising Intuitive Children and the international best-seller, Kids Who See Ghosts, guide them through their fear.The more you learn to manage your emotions, the better teacher you become to the children in your life. I encourage you develop your intuition and set an example of non-resistant behavior. When you move into the stream of life, things begin to fall into perfect alignment, synchronicities abound, aches and pains diminish, stress melts away, creativity flourishes, relationships heal, and we experience a profound sense of peace.

Interesting Graphic Dseign Elements in a Visually Appealing Website Design
Graphic design is often underestimated by website designers, who believe that only effective use of website design tools and high quality content can take a website to new heights. While they are right, ignoring graphic design can be a big mistake. A site visitor gets the first impression of a website from its load speed and the graphical presentation. The load speed can be taken care of by minimising the use of heavy files, Flash and other bandwidth-ocnsuming elements, for the graphics, a professional graphic designer must be hired.Unlike traditional graphics, in website graphic design vector and raster graphics packages are used for creating design prototypes or formatted imagery. In order to enhance the visual experience of the visitors, engage them with the text and guide them through images, graphic design has to be pleasing to the eyes. Website graphic design comprises of various elements such as corporate logo edsign, banner design, images, icons & buttons, and textures & patterns. When done right, your site visitors can appreciate the website design better and have an enhanced browsing experience that may compel them to take a positive action on the site.Corporate Logo DesignThe professional appeal and credibility of a business can be enhanced with the help of a logo that represents the company and the brand online as well as offline. A website design that highlights the company logo effectively is believed to be a reliable one, and visitors tend to remember such brands more quickly. While working on the logo design, one must ensure that it is memorable, scalable, can be equally effective in black and white and describes the company/its specialisation. Profuse brainstorming, research and sketching must be conducted to ensure that the final logo comes out to be the best.Website Page Banner DesignAnother significant and engaging element on a website is banner design. While page titles and Meta-tags have their own significance, the banners on top of each website page can make use of interesting images and descriptive punchlines that guide the visitors. Banners are a great way to declare soemthing or to get the immediate attention of the visitors. There should be an effective call to action, interactive animtaion and good content to ensure a successful website page banner design. It is a great way to advertise your business without saying much.Icons & ButtonsSome of the most commonly used icons in web design include envelope for email and contact, speech bubbles forcomments, a question mark for "Help", and a mouse to show links. While you can implement best creative tools to create unique icons that are eye-catchy and favourable for the visitors, they shouldn't be too confusing. For complex icons, a small label can go nicely with it. Different and unique bullets and buttons can also be used to make the web page attractive and aesthetically useful. Buttons should be used to make the site usability simpler, but flashy buttons should be avoided, when creating a business website.Textures & PatternsTo enhance a website layout, unique textures and patterns can play a crucial role. When applied correctly, they can greatly enhance the web page background and blend seamlessly with the rest of the design and the content. You can also integrate the textures and patterns used on different web pages with the entire theme of the website, making it even more memorable for the site visitors.While the above discussed elements are just few of the most widely used graphic designs in a website, it is important to ensure that a balanced approach is made. The placement of the graphics, the use of colours, graphic design tools & techniques and the relevance of each of these elements must be taken into consideration before applying any of them in a website design.

Great feature and a never ending battle learn more at http://www.incomelightingsix.com it might be your answer
It is with our passions, as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters.
Your weblog appears to be having some compatibilty problems in my ie browser. The wording seems to be running off the page pretty bad. If you want you can contact me at: and I'll shoot you over a screen shot of the problem.
Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't appear. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
Greetings! I just found your webpage: when I was searching reddit.com. It looks as though someone enjoyed your website so much they decided to bookmark it. I'll unquestionably be coming back here more often.
I find very freat rich content in your post
thanks again
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
The list is really Nice .The top 10 list here listed was really a nice piece of information ,thanks
Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of WordPress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
I simply desired to appreciate you once more. I'm not certain the things that I could possibly have worked on in the absence of the aspects contributed by you concerning such a concern. This was a very horrifying situation in my position, but taking note of the very specialised mode you treated it took me to weep for gladness. I'm grateful for this help and in addition trust you recognize what an amazing job you were accomplishing educating the others using your webblog. I am sure you have never met any of us.
extremely distressing I didn't unravel this a two weeks ago when I had to exploration this on my own.
I am satisfied to be one of many visitors on this top-notch page (:, thanks for putting up.

I ordered delivery. The French toast was dry, thick, burned and had a very strange unpleasant flavor that's hard to describe. Will never order from this place again.

very disappointing. vegetarian and vegan can taste good, but not so much here. food was really bland and the service was horrible. :( just moved close by and was hoping to enjoy this place. my friend and i both left more than half our entrees and the waitress just took it away like its normal not to eat the food you paid for. they were out of a lot of things too. it was really bad, first time i did not leave tip. being a vegetarian for 15years, i really like supporting vegetarian restaurants, but i dont think i would ever choose to go back here again.
Posted by anonymous on 06/28/2010
vegetarian/vegan food doesn't have to be bland....bliss should learn this. i've tried this place several times and have not only been greeted with rude and amatuer service (just because you are in williamsburg, really doesn't make you as cool as you obviously think you are....so sad), but the food is terrible. Won't go back. Terrible service and great food would bring me back....but this place is a lose lose on all accounts.

Have been there many times, like the food fine- but so funny how i always went there over and over again even i get always the worst service i have got in a restaurant! these ladies are rude and they clearly hate the custumers and their job. im sorry but this is my experience of like 7-10 times there, but i will not go there again.

I would totally give this place a four star food review because I'm a very strict vegetarian and there are so few places open early in the morning for huge tofu scramble breakfast burrito (with a side of chili, ya'll), but my gf is not veggie and she thinks the food could be better. Regardless, we love this cozy and hip little diner on Bedford. The music is chill, the staff are pleasant and there's always an Onion lying around for a morning crossword with their Organic Coffee. And it's open at 9AM! Cereal-y, ya'll, Bliss = teh bliss.

If ignorance is bliss then Bliss is just stupid! I'm sad to have to say this, but I have been disappointed with Bliss on so many occasions that I feel I must let other people know. There has been perhaps one occasion out of the several times that I have eaten at Bliss where I haven't been disgusted with the food. It's such a good idea and I really want to like it which is why I keep trying their food just one more time... but from now on, I think I'll just stick to their muffins IF anything. I also would like to mention for the benefit of the restaurant that the service BLOWS.

My girlfriend and I have eaten here a couple times now, and we're bound to keep coming back for more- especially for brunch. I'm not vegan, nor am I vegetarian, but I absolutely love good, healthy, and simple food. The first time we went, I got the bliss bowl, which was pretty darn good and remarkably balanced. She had the curry, which was also nice, but would have been put to shame at any eastern restaurant. Service was iffy, but she gave us free muffins so i've got no complaints. Otherwise... Go there for brunch! They have the best tofu scramble I've ever tasted. I'm not a huge fan of this dish in general, but bliss has perfected the recipe and I cant wait to go back for more. The tempeh bacon was poor, but the ambiance was great. Give Bliss a chance. Veggie or not, you'll be happy to eat here. Oh, and try their juices.

North Whitehall Township – The KidsPeace dental clinic has gone high-tech with digital x-rays, thanks to the latest installment from a $150,000 Highmark Foundation grant.
Dr. Kimberly Servagno, KidsPeace dentist, said the switch will save time, money and is better for the environment. It also allows the dental staff to educate patients by displaying the images on a screen and showing them exactly what's going on in their mouths so they can stave off cavities and other problems before they get too severe.
The clinic, which opened last spring in the Donley TEC building on the Orchard Hills campus, also boasts a brand new sterilizer and a panoramic x-ray machine. The x-ray machine will be particularly helpful when dealing with children in crisis, since they might not want anyone to touch their mouths, Servagno said. It also takes images faster and with less radiation than traditional x-ray machines, a key component since new patients rarely come to KidsPeace with dental records, so they almost always require x-rays.
"We are extremely grateful to the Highmark Foundation for their generous contribution to the health and well-being of our children," said KidsPeace President and CEO William Isemann. "This equipment will enhance the quality of care we are able to offer and reduce the chance that patients will be further traumatized by routine dental visits."
The grant, implemented over a two-year period, covered a variety of expenses including staff salaries, dental equipment and supplies and educational materials.
"Since the clinic's opening, we are pleased to see the accomplishments that have taken place in just one year," said Highmark Foundation President Yvonne Cook. "To enable a more efficient process and a unique way for the patient to be more involved in his/her care is a great way to encourage preventive care."
Prior to the state-of-the-art clinic opening, KidsPeace provided a clinic at the former Washington School building in Salisbury Township. However, the off-site location did not have modern equipment, and it was inconvenient to transport the youth more than 30 miles round-trip. The clinic, which is now housed in the same building as classrooms, sees seven or eight patients a day, and it's no longer a hassle if an appointment has to be rescheduled.
This year, KidsPeace proudly celebrates 130 years of giving hope, help and healing to children, families and communities. Follow us on Facebook or on Twitter @kidspeace.

"He told the truth after he told the lies," the defense lawyer said. "It's not the brightest thing to do, to lie. But people tell them all day."
The success of Corrado's effort to repair Wagner's credibility depended on Schwarm, a former prosecutor with a decidedly evenhanded courtroom demeanor. He patiently allowed the defense to perform what appeared to be obvious filibustering. Corrado tried to be sweet at one point, telling Schwarm that he was honored to work in his courtroom. When it didn't look like he'd get a favorable ruling, he told Schwarm he didn't "care" about the judge's observations and demanded "more time" for Wagner.
But Schwarm had finally heard enough. He said he didn't believe Wagner's intoxication defense, which—again—returns us to Keller. The judge said that she'd been credible when she testified that she saw no signs to support Wagner's claims. He noted that Wagner, according to Keller, had asked "intelligent questions" and even helped to plot strategy to get the most favorable plea bargain possible.
The judge also said Keller's observations supported his own when he asked the ex-cop in May if he had freely admitted guilt.
"He wasn't nodding off," said Schwarm. "He was lucid. . . . He never said he was under the influence."
The judge ruled the guilty plea valid.
Before formal sentencing and a half-dozen more increasingly pathetic Corrado delay tactics, two weeping Spanish-speaking victims told Schwarm how they will never be able to recover from what Wagner had done to them. They demanded he spend the rest of his life in prison, a request blocked by the plea deal. Don't be surprised if the victims sue for damages.
The judge ordered two bailiffs to handcuff the ex-cop and to make sure the California Department of Corrections places him in permanent protective custody when he arrives in prison. The last thing I heard before the courtroom closed was Wagner complaining. He didn't like the feel of the steel handcuffs.

Saint Joseph's Lithuanian Church 1908-2003
Lithuanian immigration to New England can be traced to the late nineteenth century, when the demand for unskilled laborers in the local textile mills attracted numerous families to the bustling city of Lowell, Massachusetts. Like so many immigrants before them, one of the first orders of social membership and extended familial responsibility was the founding of their church, a Lithuanian Catholic Church.
In 1902, delegates George Jurivicius and Matthew Dirsa, members of the Lithuanian Algirda fraternal society of Lowell, along with Farther Joseph Gricius of the Lithuanian parish in South Boston, met with Archbishop John J William of Boston, who gave the men the archdiocesan approval to begin the groundwork for building a parish in Lowell. With the support of Father Joseph Jusaitis of the Lithuanian parish in Lawrence, the efforts of the Algirda fraternal society and the Saint Joseph Society led to the acquisition of land on Rogers Street in the Belvidere neighborhood. The parish formed by the Lithuanian families was canonically recognized by the archdiocese in 1908.
For over two years, the nearly 800 Lithuanian immigrants in Lowell were served by Father Michael Peza at the Immaculate Conception Church. Following Father Peza's reassignment from Lowell, Lithuanian religious needs were provided at Saint Joseph's Church on Lee Street, under the direction of Father Kazimieras Urbonavicius. Although grateful for their host's generosity, Lithuanians desired a church building they could call their own. In 1911, the parish committee purchased the Independent Polish Catholic Church, renovated it, and renamed it Saint Joseph's Lithuanian Church with Bishop Joseph G. Anderson, Auxiliary Bishop of Boston, blessing the church on May 30, 1911.
Father Urbonavicius, who later edited the Catholic Boston newspaper Darbininkas (The Worker) and was later raised to the rank of Domestic Prelate by Pope Pius XII, served the parish community until the end of 1912, when the church was destroyed by fire. Rebuilt in only two months, St Joseph's was rededicated on January 1, 1913, under the new spiritual guidance of Father J. Aleknavicius, who served the parish for five years.
After Father Aleknavicius' departure, Father Kuczas became the spiritual leader of the parish. During his tenure (1918-1927) the priest, aided by his parishioners, created a massive celebration in honor of the formal United States recognition of the Lithuanian Republic on July 17, 1922. The celebration included a significant and lengthy parade, followed by a mass Lithuanian gathering on the South Common.
While serving for only a short time (1927-1929), Father Francis Juras, who replaced Father Aleknavicius, was responsible for developing the attractive west side grounds of the parish, which had been filled with debris. During the tenure of Father Francis Strakauskas (1929-1948), the societies of the Apostleship of Prayer, Third Order of St Francis and Our Lady Gate of Heave were formed. In addition, the Blessed Virgin Sodality, led by Helen Mikzsa, was created to address the spiritual needs of the women of the parish.
While the spiritual societies emerged, the simple beauty of the parish was not forgotten. The exquisite stain glass windows commemorating the societies and the impressive church organ were installed. At the dedication of this instrument, Metropolitan Opera diva Polyna Stoska, a noted Lithuanian, provided a recital in exceptional fashion. Not long after, Father Strakauskas was reassigned to St Casimir's Church in Brockton.
From 1949 to 1963, Father John Skalandis served the parishioners at Saint Joseph's. These were troubled times for the parish as the original immigrant parishioners began to die out and their offspring left for the suburbs. Moreover, the Soviet Union had taken control of the Lithuanian Republic and stopped the emigration of Lithuanians. Instead of shrinking the parish, however, this time of upheaval and loss allowed for the slow and steady growth of Saint Joseph's. Neighbors, not of Lithuanian ancestry, began attending the intimate church in growing numbers. Father Skalandis requested and received a curate to help him serve this growing community. Reverends Junkus, Svirkas, Shakalys and Jansonis succeeded each other and assisted as curates as the parish added Masses to its schedule and celebrated an increased number of marriages and births.
Following the departure of Father Skalandis, Father John Zuromskis was appointed pastor of the growing church. Father Zuromskis oversaw the remodeling of the aging church building and the replacement of the church organ. It was under the tutelage of Father Zuromskis that additional social activities, which brought a wide range of Christians together, expanded. The remodeled church basement served as home of the very successful Boy Scout Troop 6, which has developed several Eagle Scouts. Senior citizen socials and visiting nurse checkups take place there too.
Replacing Father Zuromskis, upon his retirement, was Father Paul Garrity from the Newman Center at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, who remained at the parish from January 1990 to July 1990. The significant intervention and correspondence by concerned parishioners resolved the question of whether or not the archdiocese would keep the parish open without a pastor. The archdiocese in August 1990, appointed Reverend Leonard T. McGrath, pastor of the church.
Under Father McGrath's aegis, several new programs were initiated. Among them were participation in the local Food Pantry, the establishment of the Women's Guild, the creation of the Parish Council, and the collection for the Christmas Giving Tree. Along those accomplishments, Father McGrath hired a Director of Religious Education, appointed a Director for the training of an adult choir, and initiated participation in the citywide Hunger/Homeless Week activities. During Father McGrath's term, he was responsible for the renovation of the church and the replacement of the roof. And for the perpetuation of Lithuanian heritage, Father McGrath had also strongly supported the observance of Independence Day and preserved the celebration of the patron saint, Saint Joseph, in March.
With financial problems in the Archdiocese, the stable Saint Joseph's was merged with the Immaculate Conception Church in January of 2000. The last Mass at the church was said on October 26, 2003 and the building was closed and recently put up for sale. A member of the church stated on that final day, "We won't keep Saint Joseph's but we will find another home."

First, Do a Self Abdominal Pain Exam:
1. Knowing how to describe and locate the pain is the first step in diagnosing the problem. Lie on your back and push firmly on your stomach where you think you feel pain. Use the tips of your fingers to do this. Breathe normally while pushing with one hand in areas where you feel tenderness or anything out of the ordinary, such as a lump or hardened area. If you feel an abnormality, make sure to let your doctor know.
2. If you are experiencing discomfort when urinating, or tenderness in your bladder area, this could be either a bladder infection, a urinary tract infection (UTI) or possibly a sexually transmitted disease (STD). You should consult your doctor right away if you are feeling pain or burning while urinating. Pain and tenderness around your naval could mean that you have appendicitis. Pain in the upper abdomen, usually occurring after eating, could mean that you have an ulcer. These conditions are serious and must be treated by a physician to prevent further health problems.
3. Record how often you are experiencing symptoms, the duration and the exact locations of these abdominal discomforts. If you experience sharp pains, bleeding, or numbness, you should see a doctor immediately. Explain to your physician everything that you have been experiencing, and be sure to show him the locations of the pain. Let him know how long you have had the problems, and how often they occur.
4. It would also be a good idea to bring any medications that you are taking when you see your physician. Sometimes, certain medications could cause cramping, and could be a side-effect of some of your pain. Don't assume that it is just your medication, or an allergy to a food. Always get checked out by a physician if these symptoms persist, or to just make sure everything is OK.

Reserve draws, voucher freeze likely in DHA sequester response
Durham Housing Authority officials plan to draw heavily on their agency's financial reserves to blunt the impact of the budget cuts being handed down to them by the federal government's "sequester" battle.
But the agency nonetheless will have to stop returning Section 8 rental vouchers to circulation after former clients turn theirs in. Given normal yearly turnover, the move could close the door to aid for about 187 families, DHA leaders said.
That translates into about a 7 percent reduction in the number of vouchers the agency intends to circulate. It has been serving some 2,734 families through the rental-assistance program
Chief Executive Officer Dallas Parks was quick to note that agency won't be cutting back on payments to renters and landlords who are now in the program. Rather, it simply won't be taking on new clients or giving vouchers to people on its waiting list.
"We don't want to evoke a panic," Parks told DHA's finance subcommittee, which during a Wednesday afternoon meeting amounted to just Durham County Finance Director George Quick. "Those who have vouchers will be able to keep them, for the rest of this year."
The sequester is an across-the-board, mid-year federal budget cut that all told is costing DHA about $3½ million.
That's roughly $1 million more than the estimate Parks gave in an interview last week.
The difference comes in the Section 8 program and is attributable to wrinkles in the way the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development calculates each local housing agency's eligibility for funding, DHA Chief Financial Officer Jeff Causey said.
The agency figures to absorb about $1 million of the Section 8 cut by drawing down an in-house reserve for the program that at last check contained about $1.5 million, Causey said.
Holding onto rather than reissuing vouchers that have been turned in will save the agency about $900,000.
A similar lean-on-the-reserve strategy will also shield DHA's public housing complexes from major cuts, at least in 2013.
Section 8 and public housing are separate programs for both operational and accounting purposes.
The public housing side of DHA is losing nearly $1 million to the sequester. Causey and Parks said administrators had identified $170,000 to $180,000 in budget cuts and figure on using reserves to cushion the rest of the blow.
The cuts include items like landscaping, they said, explaining that lawns at DHA's apartment complexes likely won't be mowed as often this summer.
The one area where there's still major uncertainty about strategy is in the budget for administration of the Section 8 program, which is separate from the accounts for vouchers in addition to those for public housing.
It's taking a hit of about $223,000, a loss that appears likely to force furloughs, cuts in the work week of non-salaried workers and ban on using temporary employees.
"The last item is whether we're going to have to do any staff reductions in the department and figuring out if we can just [freeze] vacant positions," in lieu of actual layoffs, Causey said. "We haven't figured that out yet."
Section 8 administrators are responsible for verifying the eligibility of voucher recipients, seeing that landlords get paid and checking the condition of houses and apartments voucher recipients are living in.
Historically, those things have been problems for DHA, but HUD recently notified the agency that its Section 8 program had scored as a "high performer" in 2012.
Parks said the previous difficulties were largely the result of "chronic staff turnover" and credited program director Rhega Taylor with helping orchestrate a turnaround.
Ironically, because of the sequester DHA will "have to put on hold" Taylor's request for additional auditing software, Causey said.
The agency will also take a hit in the form of reduced capital subsidies. That didn't get much discussion on Wednesday, with Causey noting officials will just have to scale back maintenance in line with whatever cut comes down from HUD.
Parks also noted that cuts in capital aid are nothing new. The authority last year received $3.2 million in capital subsidies, versus $4 million in 2010.
Quick noted that the draw-on-reserves strategy will only work if the sequester cuts are a one-time thing. Causey and Parks acknowledged that there's still a lot of uncertainty about the federal budget going forward.
"Really, it's more than just the sequester we're having an issue with," Causey said, alluding to the continued uncertainty coming out of Washington.
"We're in uncharted water," Parks added.

Here is a picture of sweater. Did not attatch first time!
I designed and knit this sweater 30 years ago. I was exploring the Nordic tradition, so this was knit in the round with cut steeks for the sleeves. I added the red hem facings to add a secret dash of fun and pazazz! This was a "cropped" style which a big departure from the long and loose sweaters that I was making at that time. I wore this yesterday and received raves and compliments.
I am currently knitting the Scot Wars Bonnet, a Scottish style cap based on a 17th Century pattern. I really like the simple pattern instructions and I think the bonnet will be great for our clan gatherings. However, one down side of the simple instructions is lack of detail.

CNC milling, or computer numerical control milling, allows you to carve digital 3D models out of blocks of solid material like foam, wood, plastic, and metal. Using RhinoCAM, an add-on to Rhinoceros 3D, you can create your own models for desktop CNC milling machines, and build objects that are stronger than those created by additive means, including 3D printers.
In this short course, author Taylor Hokanson explores RhinoCAM, focusing on converting a 3D model from another graphics program to a "toolpath", or a set of instructions for a CNC mill to follow. From there, you can import the toolpath into the mill of your choice. Note, however, you should already be familiar with model generation in Rhino (a Windows-only program) before attempting this material. We recommend viewing Rhino 5 Essential Training to learn more.
This course was created by Taylor Hokanson. We're honored to host this training in our library.
Welcome. My name is Taylor Hokanson and I'm an assistant professor of art at Columbia College of Chicago. In this series we'll discuss how to prepare digital models for fabrication on a computer numerical control milling machine. Also known as a CNC mill. CNC mills have been around for many years, but it's only more recently that artists, designers, and DIY engineers have been able to access this technology outside big industry. If you follow along with all the videos in this series, you'll learn how to convert a 3D model into a tool path.
Or a series of directions for a CNC mill to follow. This course will not cover the operation of the machine itself, as there are many brands of mill to choose from, each with their own individual settings and features. Rather than cover absolutely everything in this course, I'll assume that you already are comfortable with the Windows operating system. I'll also assume that you know how to generate 2D and 3D graphics in Adobe Illustrator and Rhinoceros. If you're still a novice on any of these topics, lynda.com has many excellent tutorials that you may want to watch first. We'll also discuss how to import material from different graphics programs that you might be more comfortable with.
Many of the videos in this course are paired with an exercise file. These files are only available to certain lynda.com membership levels. Though the files will make things more convenient, I've provided all the steps necessary for you to follow along with your own models and graphics. So, let's get started. I'm glad to have the opportunity to introduce you to RhinoCAM, toolpathing and the exciting world of digital fabrication.

Educators at Fairfax County's vaunted Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology are seeking explanations for an unusual uptick in the number of freshmen who have struggled in math and science.
In recent years, about 8 percent of the school's freshmen have landed on a "watch list" of students with grade-point averages below 3.3 on a 4-point scale. This year, that proportion nearly doubled, to 15 percent, and teachers said they were overwhelmed with students needing extra help.

Fascinating post from Daily Kos, which categorized the original source of information for every front page post on the site and found that newspapers were the most popular source of information, but only accounted for about 20 percent. "In the unlikely and tragic event that every single newspaper went out of business today, we'd have little problem replacing them as a source of information."
"Again, this doesn't mean I'm gleefull or happy or even neutral on the sorry state of the newspaper industry and the demise of so many great newspapers. It's always sad to lose a good source of journalism. But we live in a rich media environment, easily the richest in world history, and the demise of the newspaper industry will simply shift much of the journalistic work they did to other media."
(Thanks for pointer Ken Sands!)

A new study by three economists suggests that elementary- and middle-school teachers who help increase their students' standardized-test scores have a significant, positive and lasting impact on those students' lives in the long term. Their influence extends beyond academics, as good teachers also mean "lower teenage-pregnancy rates and greater college matriculation and adult earnings," writes the New York Times. The study tracked the lives of 2.5 million students over 20 years, "allowing for a deeper look at how much the quality of individual teachers matters over the long term."
And the positive effect of teachers who increased student test scores was striking. The Times notes, "Replacing a poor teacher with an average one would raise a single
classroom's lifetime earnings by about $266,000, the economists
estimate. Multiply that by a career's worth of classrooms." The researchers surmise that the same results would be obtained by replacing an average teacher with an excellent teacher: "Given the difficulty of finding, training and retaining outstanding
teachers...the difference in long-term outcome between students
who have average teachers and those with poor-performing ones is as
significant as the difference between those who have excellent teachers
and those with average ones."
The positive effect of an excellent teacher on one individual student is less impressive than that teacher's potential impact on the entire class taken together, of course. "All else equal, a student with one excellent teacher for one year
between fourth and eighth grade would gain $4,600 in lifetime income,
compared to a student of similar demographics who has an average
teacher. The student with the excellent teacher would also be 0.5
percent more likely to attend college." Still, "students with top teachers are less likely to become pregnant as
teenagers, more likely to enroll in college, and more likely to earn
more money as adults."
The study will likely add fuel to the value-added score debate, as many people--and teachers' unions--"say that isolating the effect of a given teacher is harder than it seems, and might unfairly penalize some instructors." The researchers of this study are firmly on the other side: "The authors argue that school districts should use value-added measures
in evaluations, and...remove the lowest performers." One of the researchers, Harvard Professor John N. Friedman, was quoted in the Times as saying, "The message is to fire people sooner rather than later."

What do you call a potato? There are plenty of names to choose from. In fact, there are more than 600 scientific names used around the world for just 4 species of cultivated potato. Sorting these out has given scientists a bit of a headache, until now.
An international team have produced a guide to help people make sense of the plethora of potato names. They have published their paper in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
Material from Europe, the Americas, and Russia was gathered together and analysed by scientists at the N.I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry, University of Wisconsin and the Natural History Museum.
The team found that 600 names corresponded to just 4 species of cultivated potato, Solanum ajanhuiri, Solanum curtilobum, Solanum juzepczukii and Solanum tuberosum.
'It seems odd that such a commonly known plant should have so many names,' says Museum botanist Dr Sandra Knapp, one of the authors of the paper. 'But we discovered that through the years, concepts of how to describe and document the incredible variety in this cultivated plant changed.
'Collections where specimens are kept as evidence of these concepts were key to our working out how these names all fit together.'
The 600 other names were found to be synonyms (where different scientific names refer to the same organism). They are not mistakes, they are just a different view on how to name and classify the incredible diversity of potato types.
The team also found that there are about 100 wild species of potato, with about 500 scientific names. Wild species are more genetically diverse than cultivated ones and are likely to hold the key to potato disease resistance.
This research has created a new classification system and means scientists will now be able to communicate more easily in areas such as breeding new potatoes that can withstand climate change and other pressures such as pests and diseases.
After rice, wheat and maize, potatoes are the world's most important source of carbohydrate. They belong to the Solanaceae, or nightshade, family of flowering plants. Potatoes are members of the genus Solanum, which has at least 1,000 other species including the aubergine (eggplant) and tomatoes.

Potatoes are originally from the Andes of South America and they were a staple food of the Incas. Local people still grow an amazing number of different varieties. They were brought to Europe soon after Spanish explorers found them being cultivated in Peru. All of the potatoes cultivated in Europe belong to S. tuberosum, the other 3 species are only cultivated in South America.
Many of the potato names analysed in this research came from Russian collections, including those at the N.I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry. The great Russian geneticist Nikolai Vavilov led expeditions in the early 20th century to the Andes and the names given at that time reflected the great variety of potatoes that they found.
For example, the potatoes named Solanum goniocalyx, collected in Peru and Solanum rybinii, collected in Colombia, were both named from plants grown at the institute in 1929 and are now classified as S. tuberosum.
To uncover whether a specimen belongs to one species or another requires an understanding of taxonomy, which is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms into groups.
The naming of plants follows strict rules laid out in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. These rules are one of the oldest examples of a voluntary scientific code.
So, whether it was Solanum goniocalyx in Peru or Solanum rybinii in Colombia, this research means that at least scientists can now be sure they are talking about the same species.

The Yankees add Kevin Whelan to the bullpen
Jun 10, 2011, 3:50 PM EDT
Yesterday Matthew ran down the immediate possibilities for the now-depleted Yankees bullpen. One of them he mentioned was Kevin Whelan, who has a 30/6 K/BB ratio and a 1.67 ERA in 27 innings as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's closer this season. That possibility is now a reality as the Yankees have called him up.
One would hope, if one cares about how the Yankees fare, that Whelan will provide enough stability to where Brian Cashman could focus on starters, rather than relievers, at the trade deadline. Because really, even if the bullpen is an acute problem at the moment. it's the rotation that will need more help over the course of the next couple of months and will go farther in deciding if the Yankees can win the east or not. Get a solid starter and the pressure is off the pen a bit, ya know?
- patsandsox - Jun 10, 2011 at 3:54 PM
Sounds like a good first move. I doubt that is all it will take to replace Joba and Soriano..
- ndirishfan1 - Jun 10, 2011 at 4:06 PM
I'm a Yankee fan here and if recent memory is any guide, Whelan will probably be moved to the starting rotation soon, then back to the pen, then back to the rotation and then to Dr. James Andrews with a dead arm or elbow issues…
- uyf1950 - Jun 10, 2011 at 4:28 PM
It's a good move and probably the best option at this point. But as was indicated in the blog, it's only the first step. The starting rotation needs help even when Hughes comes back and they still could use a left handed reliever. To quote a famous Chinese proverb: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." And who are we to argue with that.
- yankeesfanlen - Jun 10, 2011 at 5:21 PM
We need a reliever that can put a Whalen on other team in the latter innings.
- uyf1950 - Jun 10, 2011 at 5:30 PM
yankeesfanlen – you might find this piece interesting on Whelan. He is the link. http://www.myyesnetwork.com/12460/blog/2011/06/10/kevin_whelan_movin_on_up
- pisano - Jun 10, 2011 at 5:43 PM
uyf1950… I hate to say this, but I feel it's over for the Yankees this year. The pitching is only part of the problem they have too many outs in that line up. If Jeter hits 250 he'll be lucky Swisher is a strike out waiting to happen as is Arod, Posada, and Andruw Jones. I hate to say it but Granderson and Gardner strike out too much. They need to make MAJOR changes and I don't see it happening. They have Vazquez and Maxwell at triple A hitting home runs and they keep Posada and Jones on the roster. They are running out of time and there are too many holes to fill. As you say, just my opinion.
- uyf1950 - Jun 10, 2011 at 5:56 PM
pisano, the only one I disagree with you about is A-Rod. As for challenges facing the Yankees you are absolutely correct. But, keep the faith my friend change is in the air. Posada and Jones will be gone by the All Star break. Swisher's coming around, slowly but coming around. As soon as Chavez comes back they will have an alternative at DH. I still think the Yankees will be a force to be reckoned with. I agree with you about Vazquez they should call him up. But maybe Cashman has other plans for him. Give it time my friend.
- yankeesfanlen - Jun 10, 2011 at 5:52 PM
Before we go overboard, Yankees brethren:
- pisano - Jun 10, 2011 at 7:16 PM
uyf1950… I really hope I'm wrong, but the time is now. They have to make some changes fast.Chavez coming back will certainly help, but I just read that they moved him to the 60 day DL. They can't keep using Andruw Jones this guy is totally lost and Swisher is coming around,but will it be too little too late? Again,I will gladly say I was wrong, but they have a lot of holes to fill.

Science of Infant Sucking
Successful breastfeeding is an interplay between mother and baby. In order to understand and manage infant sucking issues, it is firstly important to establish an understanding of the anatomy and physiology of lactation and milk removal. Medela, along with leading experts from University of Western Australia, examined the anatomy of the lactating breast (link to anatomy research section). This ground breaking research challenged previous understandings and led to the rewriting of many text books.
Leading on from this, it was clear that if there were new discoveries in relation to how the breast worked, then there could also be questions in relation to how the baby removed the milk from the breast. Further investigation was needed and the results were very interesting.
Research into the physiology of milk removal was last conducted in the mid 80's by Woolridge and the classic images we have seen since can be seen here:
The Conventional view postulates, enlarged ducts, known as 'lactiferous sinuses', just behind the nipple were key for milk removal. However, the research in relation to the anatomy of the lactating breast could not identify these 'lactiferous sinuses'. The study continued to discover how the infant removes the milk from the breast and the results can be seen here:
It plays slower here so you can see the action of the tongue:

Once you have set out on the profession that provides a lease of life to so many cancer patients in despair, you must be concerned about the career prospects of the job and whether it would be possible for you to actually put your training and learning to practice in the actual domain. Like every other profession in the world, this also has a certain range of applicability and a number of prospects where the learning and the required technology can be out to practice. And it is extremely important the radiation therapy programs review give an idea about this too, in addition to the course structure and other related information.
Radiation therapy is a field that has been a revolution in itself, when it comes to cancer research. Not very long ago, a diagnosis of cancer was synonymous to death itself and the people who suffered from it as well as their families had no choice but to go along with what had struck them and wait for death to come. But, with the advent of new technology and the growth of science, the field of radiation therapy has taken over the reins of cancer treatment in its own hands. With every passing day, the advantages of this technology are being made available to the patients all over the world.
Hence, radiation therapy programs review very clearly project radiation therapy as a profession whose scope and prospects are increasing with every passing day. Once you have the required degree and the licence to practice in hand, you can either work in a hospital environment or under an independent oncologist. There are various capacities in which a trained radiation therapist may be able to work, with technology advancement and a lot of diversification coming into the picture.
Also, as technology has progressed so has the diagnosis of cancer. More number of patients is detected with the disease at an early stage, thereby increasing the scope for treatment and the requirement of radiation therapists to provide them with the necessary facilities. In fact, as this technology spreads out geographically to wider areas and larger number of people, the number of jobs that this sector produces will also grow along with it, as predicted by the radiation therapy programs review.
Also, like in every profession, specialisation is always a virtue that attracts many buyers. So, once you have completed your basic training, you can always go for certain special training in various areas including:-
• 3-D Imaging
• Fusion Imaging
• Molecular Imaging
• Calculation of Bone Density
• Generation of Digital X-Ray Images
All these and many more specialisations, if included in your skill set will ensure that you get a better job and with a more reputed medical establishment. Also, the radiation therapy programs review always recommends medical professionals to keep radiation therapy a part of the bigger sphere of entire radiotherapy, that includes so many other aspects and technologies as well which increasing your usefulness for the medical industry all the more and make you an asset to any firm that recruits you.
Thus, concern about the future job prospects plagues the radiation therapy specialists as well, just like any other profession. All that is needed is the necessary information and complete knowledge about where the knowledge can be applied and the establishments that can have job openings for you once you complete your degree in the subject.
The radiation therapy programs review always lay a lot of stress on being true to the field that you have chosen and the importance that it has in the lives of the people who opt for it. And once that is clear, the attitude that you develop towards the profession will attract many more jobs than you may have expected.

Sheriff seeks information about suspicious fire
Durham County sheriff's investigators are asking for information about a suspicious fire that destroyed an abandoned mobile home and damaged nearby buildings last week. No one was hurt.
Redwood Volunteer Fire Department firefighters responded to 3417 Cheek Road at 8:48 p.m. Wednesday after a neighbor called 911 to report that a vacant mobile home was on fire. Firefighters extinguished the flames and then asked for a sheriff's arson investigator to respond to the scene because some aspects of the blaze appeared suspicious.
"Several men with flashlights were seen near the trailer only minutes before the fire started," Detective Jon Helsius, the lead investigator on the case, said. "While I'm not prepared to call it an arson, the fire is definitely suspicious, and I would like to speak with anyone who might have information about the identities of the men seen at the location or how the fire started."
Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call Helsius at 919-560-0880 or Durham CrimeStoppers at 919-683-1200. CrimeStoppers pays cash for information leading to the arrest of individuals for felony crimes, and callers never have to identify themselves.
