The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials #01)by Philip Pullman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Lyra Belaqua is content to run wild among the scholars of Jordan College, with her daemon familiar Pantalaimon always by her side. But the arrival of her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle — a struggle born of Gobblers and stolen children, witch clans and armored bears. And as she hurtles toward danger in the cold, far North, young Lyra never suspects the shocking truth: She alone is destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle.
"As always, Pullman is a master at combining impeccable characterizations and seamless plotting, maintaining a crackling pace to create scene upon scene of almost unbearable tension. This glittering gem will leave readers of all ages eagerly awaiting the next installment of Lyra's adventures." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"Extraordinary storytelling at its very best." Detroit Free Press
"Superb...all-stops-out thrilling." The Washington Post
"Fantastic....A shattering tale that begins with a promise and delivers an entire universe." Kirkus Reviews
"Very grand indeed...scene after scene of power and beauty." The New York Times Book Review
Young Lyra's uncle, Lord Asriel, returns from the far North with tales of terrible danger and of a child severed from its daemon familiar. Soon Lyra sets out to save kidnapped children and their familiars from hideous experiments. But an even greater mystery awaits.
Published in 40 countries, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy – The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass – has graced the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Book Sense, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists.
The Golden Compass forms the first part of a story in three volumes. The first volume is set in a world like ours, but different in many ways. The second volume is set partly in the world we know. The third moves between many worlds.
In The Golden Compass, readers meet 11-year-old Lyra Belacqua, a precocious orphan growing up within the precincts of Jordan College in Oxford, England. It quickly becomes clear that Lyra's Oxford is not precisely like our own—nor is her world. In Lyra's world, everyone has a personal dæmon, a lifelong animal familiar. This is a world in which science, theology and magic are closely intertwined.
The Subtle Knife is the second part of the trilogy that began with The Golden Compass. That first book was set in a world like ours, but different. This book begins in our own world.
In The Subtle Knife, readers are introduced to Will Parry, a young boy living in modern-day Oxford, England. Will is only twelve years old, but he bears the responsibilities of an adult. Following the disappearance of his explorer-father, John Parry, during an expedition in the North, Will became parent, provider and protector to his frail, confused mother. And it's in protecting her that he becomes a murderer, too: he accidentally kills a man who breaks into their home to steal valuable letters written by John Parry. After placing his mother in the care of a kind friend, Will takes those letters and sets off to discover the truth about his father.
The Amber Spyglass brings the intrigue of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife to a heartstopping close, marking the third and final volume as the most powerful of the trilogy. Along with the return of Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, Lord Asriel, Dr. Mary Malone, and Iorek Byrnison the armored bear, The Amber Spyglass introduces a host of new characters: the Mulefa, mysterious wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust; Gallivespian Lord Roke, a hand-high spy-master to Lord Asriel; and Metatron, a fierce and mighty angel. And this final volume brings startling revelations, too: the painful price Lyra must pay to walk through the land of the dead, the haunting power of Dr. Malone's amber spyglass, and the names of who will live—and who will die—for love. And all the while, war rages with the Kingdom of Heaven, a brutal battle that—in its shocking outcome—will reveal the secret of Dust.
- Ideal for the fantasy/sci-fi market: new striking, commercial paperback look.- The trilogy has been showered with awards: Whitbread Award, Booker Prize nominee, Carnegie Medal, ALA Notable, Guardian Fiction Prize, Parents Choice Gold Award, Horn Book Fanfare, Booklist Editors' Choice, and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year- Over 2 million copies sold in the U.S.alone: Pullman's trilogy is truly a modern classic.

There are certain ramifications to raising taxes. Being in the Navy, I certainly feel the increase. But so do big fish like Phil Mickelson:
Word is, Phil Mickelson is mad as hell about rising tax rates, and he's not going to take it anymore. What follows is a brief portion of an interview Mickelson gave earlier today after carding a final-round 66 at the Palmer Course at PGA West in La Quinta – which I assure you, is not associated with the La Quinta next door to your local Denny's – in which the golfer hinted that he is considering drastic career changes because of a combined tax rate nearing "62, 63 percent:"
It is an interesting interview. I am for prosperity for all and see a definite road towards it. But it requires that all work. It also requires morality. In that those on the dole have no other place to go.
Before the Navy, I held dozens of jobs from the most menial up to mid-level management. And I firmly believe, if you want a job, they are out there. Go hustle. I'll stop there because this is not a political blog. I won't mention government waste, fraud. . .

POTASSIUM NITRATE: Potassium nitrate is an explosive and flammable material as well as being a fertilizer. It is the POW in gun powder and the WOW in fireworks. We will not ship more than 4 lbs of potassium nitrate to anywhere except the United States of America or Canada.
We are willing to send potassium nitrate to anyone who orders it; even internationally, as long as the international customers understand that they are responsible for explaining the reason for the purchase of potassium nitrate to their customs authorities. There is an alternative to potassium nitrate for those who are concerned with questions from customs. The alternative product is calcium nitrate. Canadian customers do not need to be concerned as aquariumfertilizer.com has the appropriate papers filed with the Canadian Department of Natural Resources.
As mentioned above, dry fertilizers in small quantities are hard to find. In addition to planted aquariums and outdoor ponds, our fertilizers are useful for hydroponic and aeroponic gardening. Check out our mulitple product purchase discount.

|Senate approves new elector system
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 24 May 2007 04:00
The Senate gave initial approval of a bill that would replace the winner-take-all system of choosing presidential electors with a more proportional method.In the proposed system, a presidential ticket would earn one elector for winning the vote in one of the state's congressional districts, while two additional at-large electors would be chosen based on the statewide vote total. The bill was introduced with the intention of making the electoral process more fair and attracting presidential candidates to come to North Carolina. Dissenting republicans said the measure would make the state irrelevant. A final House vote could come as early as today.

By KAREN BASSOSun Advocate reporter
Car seats are often times only associated with infants and toddlers.
The fact is, however, that older children, sometimes up to the age of 9 may need a booster seat in order to be protected properly from injury while riding in a motor vehicle.
According to Safe Kids Worldwide, approximately 1,800 children ages 14 years old and younger are killed in automobile accidents and more than 280,000 young passengers are injured each year.
Therefore, it is extremely important to properly restrain children every time they ride in a motor vehicle.
It is particularly important for Carbon County parents to be aware that older children should also be restrained by using booster seats.
The common misconception is that a child is too big for a small car seat, therefore a regular lap and shoulder belt will do.
But the assumption is wrong explained Southeastern Utah Health District safety expert Georgina Nowak.
"Many parents think that just because their child outgrows one car seat, that they are ready for a regular seat belt. The fact is, that children under four feet, nine inches need to be in a booster seat," Nowak stated.
The criteria for booster seats according to the local health department are as follows:
If youngsters are shorter than four feet nine inches tall and weigh between 40 and 80 pounds, they should be riding in a booster seat.
Usually, children need booster seats until they are about nine years old.
Children in booster seats should ride in the back seat of a motor vehicle and never in front of an airbag.
Lap and shoulder belts must be used together to secure the child in a booster seat.
People should never use only the lap belt.
Parents should never allow youngsters to place the shoulder belt behind their back or under an arm. Injury or death could result.
The lap belt should fit across the hips or thighs, not across the stomach.
The shoulder belt should fit across the chest, not the neck.
High-back and low-back booster seats help to prevent injury.
Nowak reminded Carbon County residents that the public health department in Price offers assistance in determining what booster seat is right for an individual child.
The local health agency also has several workers who are trained and certified in inspecting car and booster seat placement and use.
It is extremely important to protect Castle Valley children, emphasized the public health department.
Parents can start by properly restraining children every time the youngsters ride in an automobile.

For nearly two years, the battle cry over what is happening to the billions of dollars of aid money earmarked for Haiti's reconstruction has resounded on the front pages of some of the world's most prestigious papers — and on the airwaves — attempting to delineate where things went wrong.
These stories are important, and they need to be told. But not just by the foreign press, which is, at best, fickle – stories run at the whim and convenience of the editors. These stories need to be reported by Haitian journalists, who inherently understand what it means when aid money is misappropriated, squandered, or even worse — disappears.
Investigative reporting, however, is an anomaly in a country where transparency is anything but. Access to information, sources, statistics and, at times, seemingly banal information hinders daily reporting. These factors are exponentially more difficult for a reporter asking anything but the basics.
Over the past few decades, when reporters have investigated political and economic corruption, they've been targeted and killed, their assassins still at large. Older career reporters with the skill, education and experience to do hard-hitting investigations have either left the country, opened their own media, or opted for a higher-paying salary with an international non-governmental organization (NGO), the UN or the Haitian government.
The new crop of journalists is all but married to a daily routine which looks something like this: in the morning, a newsroom meeting (if there is one), where the editor (if there is one) leafs through a stack of press releases and decides who is going where and for how long (one reporter may be assigned to two or three stories). By mid-afternoon, the reporter returns and has just a few hours to write and record a script (often in both French and Creole) and insert the sound bites for the late afternoon/evening news. There is no time to do research, supporting or opposing interviews, or even to fact check.
The next day is a repeat. Reporters rarely have a chance to dig deeper, and when they do, it's usually in the form of an interview, which limits the listener's perspective. The vast majority of news in Haiti is delivered by radio (50 stations in the capital alone); there is only one daily newspaper, Le Nouvelliste, and the circulation is almost exclusively in the capital.
This is the environment I began working in when I started to teach investigative journalism as part of my Knight Fellowship in Haiti in July 2010. But now, 20 months later, reporters are beginning to understand what an investigation means, and are making a case to their newsroom editors to be allowed the time and resources they need to do investigations.
Knowing that these are two serious limiting factors, I reached out and got financial support from several non-profit organizations (the International Center for Journalists and International Media Support), and, along with colleague Jane Regan (Haiti Grassroots Watch), launched the Fund for Investigative Journalism in Haiti.
FIJH provides financial support and coaching to reporters whose investigations are accepted by a three-panel jury. Just this month, the first of the seven investigations by 13 journalists hit the airwaves. We're hoping this has set a new bar for reporting. http://fijhaitienglish.blogspot.com/
An article by two Le Nouvelliste reporters (and reprinted in Caribbean Journal) explored the overall sanitation situation for the displaced.
Some 11,000 portable latrines were installed by the international community in tent camps after the earthquake.
Because there were so many NGOs financing the cleaning of these latrines, and each had its own budget, it was next to impossible to discern how much has been spent. What the journalists did discover, however, was that as these NGOs began to wind down their programs in Haiti, and as the number of displaced in camps dropped from 1.5 million to less than half a million, the funds for cleaning the latrines dried up. That still leaves more than 400,000 people without a place "to go."
An investigation by Haiti Grassroots Watch reported on an Irish NGO, Concern Worldwide, which built 534 homes in a metropolitan suburb, each with an ecological toilet. Residents not only rejected these Urinary Diversion Toilets on the grounds that they were smelly and invited all kinds of unwelcome creatures, but they tore them up and dug holes to install flush toilets. The byproduct risks contaminating the ground water table.
Yet another investigation was done by three journalists who examined housing donated to residents in an area south of the capital which revealed that many of the $3,000 homes were either uninhabited, had been given to someone who had already received a home or were being rented.
These stories demonstrate that Haitians can, and should, take the lead in investigations. They know these stories better than anyone else, and are the best ones to tell them. They hope it will make organizations more accountable. They also hope that, eventually, investigative reporting will spread beyond the capital, and then beyond its own borders, to become the catalyst for an investigative fund in the Caribbean.
Kathie Klarreich developed the Fund for Investigative Journalism in Haiti. She has covered Haiti for major media organizations including the New York Times, National Public Radio and Time Magazine. She is also the author of a Haiti-based memoir: Madame Dread: A Tale of Love, Vodou and Civil Strife.

Haiti has had a series of disasters.
After each one, there is a wave of humanitarian aid, which fails to rebuild the nation sufficiently to be helpful in any way in the next disaster. Each wave of aid comes with a big price tag. Part of the aid in the next wave is to forgive some of the debt accumulated from the prior wave.
Check out my collection of Audits 2 Study.
The situation in Haiti is a collection of disasters.
1. The earthquake striking the capital city of an under developed nation.
2. Why Haiti was an under developed nation in the first place.
3. The quality of Humanitarian Aid, and lack of cooperation between the different sources of aid. In fact great conflicts between the aid sources, functioning like political parties in the home nations, where it is more important to bash the other sides, than to perform the duties of your job.
4. A million audits, most of which ignore all the other audits, spending astronomical sums of money to discover the same info as the other million audits, whose lessons learned are never going to be implemented.

Solid Tools Introduction
SketchUp's Solid tools work only on SketchUp solids. In SketchUp, a solid is any 3d model (component or group) that has a finite closed volume. A SketchUp solid cannot have any leaks (missing faces or faces that do not meet at an edge).
You can select a component or group and visit the Entity Info dialog box to see if the selection is a solid. If there is a volume listed, the selection is a SketchUp solid. If there is no volume listed, the selection is not a solid and likely has a leak.The following image contains several solids:
There are six Solid tools in SketchUp - all operate only on solid models:
- The Intersect tool () operates on two or more solids and results in only the overlapping parts.
- The Subtraction tool () operates on two solids and merges the intersecting geometry from the second selected solid with the first selected solid. The first solid is then removed leaving only the second solid (minus its intersecting geometry).
- Just like the Subtraction tool, The Trim tool () operates only on two solids and merges the intersecting geometry from the second selected solid with the first selected solid. Unlike the Subtraction tool, the Trim tool leaves the first solid in the result.
- The Split tool () splits all of the parts of two solids into separate groups or components wherever the solids overlap.
- The Union tool () merges all outer faces of two or more overlapping solids to create one larger SketchUp solid. The Union tool leaves all internal geometry in the result.
- The Outer Shell tool () works just like the Union tool, but removes all internal geometry from the result. Therefor, the Outer Shell tool is the preferred tool for creating lightweight models, such as buildings for Google Earth, because only the outer faces of the model are needed to convey the design.

We'll respond shortly.
If you are using ActiveAdmin, beware that the
after_save callback gets fired both when the model gets saved, and when there are validation errors on the model.
It really behaves like a callback after the model
save method gets called, regardless of its return value.
Let's say you're writing a RailsAdmin custom action, and you want to test it with a request spec.
If the test passes when guard is on, but fails when guard is off, then you've forgotten that the RailsAdmin initializer does not run when loading a rake task. It does run as part of bundle exec guard start.
This is a performance 'optimization' that RailsAdmin adds.
To turn it back on, so you can test custom actions:
task :default => [:load_rails_admin_initializer]
task :load_rails_admin_initializer do
ENV['SKIP_RAILS_ADMIN_INITIALIZER'] = 'false'
Arrrgggggg me mateys! To your pairs you scabrous dogs!

BUFFALO, NY - Peter Brady was star athlete, and the drummer in a successfully budding blues band who had just completed his freshman year of college.
At age 19, the athletic Orchard Park man had his whole life ahead of him,.... a life he nearly lost on Memorial Day.
Peter dove into the shallow end of a pool, breaking his neck in three places, and injuring his spinal cord.
Left suddenly paralyzed, he has been hospitalized ever since.
But a couple of weeks ago, the ventilator that kept him alive for a month was removed and he has begun to regain feeling in most of his body, although he still can't move much of it below his shoulders.
Friends of the Brady family have been raising money through a website for people to donate for the renovations of the family home needed to accommodate Peter upon his eventual return there, as well as the purchase of a wheel chair accessible van.
Funds are also sought to help Peter move to one of the nation's leading spinal care centers upon his release from ECMC, which is expected to occur in a month or so.
A major event, the "For Pete's Sake Blues Festival and Healing Fundraiser" will be held on Sunday, August 12th at Wings Flights of Hope in Hamburg.
As well, donations of any amount can be made to the Peter Brady Healing Fund at any M&T Bank branch.
"I can't believe that so many people are helping," said an appreciative Brady from his hospital bed, in the Acute Rehabilitation Center at Erie County Medical Center (ECMC). "From the bottom of my heart I wish to thank them all."

New technology can do a huge amount for healthcare. From telecare that helps the vulnerable be cared for without leaving home—to simple smartphone apps that let people take control of their own healthy living.
And many of these innovations come from smaller and medium-sized companies. Last year TIC Biomed set up an EU SME e-Health competition to reward the smartest ideas from across Europe. I was delighted to personally congratulate the winners – from Denmark, Germany, Italy, and Spain – who came up with fresh and varied innovations that help technology boost healthcare and improve lives.
This year they're repeating the challenge. And small and medium-sized businesses with bright e-Health ideas have until next Thursday, 31 January, to register. Winners will be announced at this year's e-Health week, in Dublin in May – potentially offering you the visibility and marketing you need to attract customers, partners and capital. Full details are on the website http://www.ehealthcompetition.eu/.

Average retail gasoline prices in Utah have risen 4.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.71/g Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 1,171 gas outlets in Utah. This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.7 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.65/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Utah during the past week, prices Sunday were 31.6 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 1.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has increased 14.0 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 15.0 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"After an impressive run that saw the national average begin to approach its springtime high, it appears prices have plateaued- at least for now," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Oil prices appear to be taking a breather, but with the peak of hurricane season approaching, an continued upward trajectory in gasoline prices is certainly possible, should we see a major storm take aim for the Gulf. Crude inventories have also declined four consecutive weeks, and large decreases in crude inventories in the near future may be cause for rising oil prices as well," DeHaan said.

Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldridge and more hit the runway in this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show -- and we've got a sneak peek of all the eye candy action.
The runway show was taped last night, but the brand new video was just released today, showing the Angels strutting their stuff on the catwalk in next to nothing.
Candice had the honor of wearing this year's Royal Fantasy Bra -- the 4,200 jewel-encrusted piece is worth $10 million (more than the last four Fantasy Bras combined).
So, what was our favorite moment of the night?
Watching Adam Levine cheer on his beautiful fiancé, Behanti Prinsloo! The "Maroon 5" front man gave his girl a standing ovation as she walked the catwalk, blowing her a kiss as she looked at the crowd.
Too cute!
Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, Neon Jungle and A Great Big World also hit the stage with the angels.
Check out the lingerie-filled behind-the-scenes video above, and be sure to check out this year's show when it airs Dec. 10 on CBS.

The actor sported a white tank, black shorts, a black cap and running shoes as he made his way to his car with his iPad and sweatshirt in tow.
Who knew he was hiding these things under his T-shirts? We were definitely pleasantly surprised! Aside from showing off his biceps, Ryan's massive ink was also on display.
It looks like the tattoos on the 38-year-old's upper arm are still a work in progress -- but there's definitely a sleeve in the making. That's not his only body art -- "The Lincoln Lawyer" star also has a giant sword on the side of his calf!

The doors opened Friday afternoon at the Edgar A. Newell II Golden Dome at Ogdensburg Free Academy, cold, early spring air colliding with the heated aroma of hot dogs and nachos and the clean smell of new cars, boats and motorcycles.
The 37th annual Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club Expo is under way today and tomorrow, a happy mix of spring ritual and Northern
New York trade show for more than 100 vendors, businesses and crafters, all to benefit the club.
SUNY Canton Womens Basketball Bruce C. Tallon has been promoting the colleges sports program at Expo for eight years.
And loving it.
Its always exposure, Mr. Tallon said. And Im a big person for publicity.
So is Scott M. Wright, route supervisor for Pepsi-Cola Ogdensburg Bottlers Inc. Then again, he represents the third generation in the family business founded by his grandfather, Richard E. Winter.
Who, by the way, also helped start the club.
Its a no-brainer for us to be here, Mr. Wright said. Its in my blood.
Northern Physical Therapy of Ogdensburg, Clayton and LeRay has been a club supporter for years.
And were here to promote healthy living in general, said Carrie M. Montgomery, vice president for public relations.
As the annual event opened, club members also took time to honor those who have helped Expo and the club over the years. This years Expo community service award winners are: Gardners Flooring and Furniture, 325 Cedar St., for providing prizes for the Expo raffle tickets; St. Lawrence University Community-Based Learning Program, which since 2005 has sent freshman students to the club to assist its youth members in skills such as computers, cooking and athletics; Megan McNamara, the clubs assistant director for the past nine years; The Patten Family Trust, Charles B. and Deborah D. Patten, Wrentham, Mass., which donates money to the club. Mrs. Patten is a native of Massena.
Expo today opens at 10 a.m. and runs until 8 p.m. The finale on Sunday starts at noon and closes down at 4:30 p.m. At its close, winners of the events grand prize drawing will be selected.
The first prize in this years raffle is $5,000 cash, courtesy of Blevins Auto Group. Other prizes include two $1,500 gift certificates from Gardners Flooring and Furniture, a $1,300 gift certificate from Triple A Building Centers, a family membership for four to Northern Physical Therapy, a $1,000 gift certificate to Carbinos Jewelers, a $1,000 Savings Bond from NBT Bank and $1,000 donated by Phillips Diner. Tickets are $10 each and will be available all weekend at Expo.

Tallahassee, Florida - Too many children in Florida are not using a booster seat in the car, according to a new report from AAA.
About 30 percent of parents say their kids under 12 rarely or never use a booster seat.
Studies show children should use a booster until they're at least 57 inches tall. They usually reach that height between the ages of 8 and 12.
Seat belts in vehicles are made for adults and a poor fit can lead to serious injuries for kids. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for children under 12.
Booster seats can reduce injuries about 60 percent, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
AAA is giving away free booster seats at some locations around Florida, but supplies are limited.
Check AAA offices in Jacksonville, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton.

If Americans needed any further evidence of the blatant bias and disregard for the truth displayed by the increasingly discredited establishment press, the coverage — or lack thereof — of two recent demonstrations in Washington, D.C., provided a perfect illustration. One tiny protest was seeking more gun control and was promptly plastered all over the front pages. The other march, which was virtually ignored by the press despite record-breaking attendance, sought protection for the lives of unborn children.
On Friday, as The New American reported, more than 500,000 people, according to reliable estimates, converged on the capital for the annual pro-life March for Life. They came from all across the country in support of protecting the lives of unborn children to mark the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which improperly purported to legalize the killing of babies by inventing "rights" not listed in the Constitution or anywhere else.
Despite the massive size of the historic march, the media barely noticed it. According to the non-partisan Media Research Center, the marches did not garner a single "syllable of coverage" from ABC or CBS. While ABC could not find the time to mention the demonstration for life on Friday evening, though, it was certainly not because there were too many other critical stories to tell.
"Anchor Diane Sawyer made time for an update on the supposed controversy over complaints Subway's 'foot-long' subs are sometimes only eleven inches long. Horrors," noted Brent Baker, vice president for Research and Publications at the Media Research Center. "Sawyer allocated 28 seconds to this."
There were plenty of newsworthy events going on at the March for Life, too. "Can a nation long endure that does not respect the sanctity of life?" asked U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), one of the many lawmakers who spoke at the rally. "Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?"
If the record-breaking march complete with top national leaders was mentioned at all in newspapers, it was barely a footnote. The few outlets that did cover it often used pictures of a few pro-abortion supporters to illustrate the article, drawing fury from readers. Many media outlets did not a have a single word about the massive demonstration at all.

When many people think about cancer, they think about lung cancer and breast cancer. And many can explain that not smoking generally prevents lung cancer and that regular exams can help catch breast cancer early when it can be treated with a high rate of survival. However, they tend to forget that the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States is colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is cancer of the colon or rectum. Estimates by the U.S. Center for Disease Control suggest that over 56,000 Americans will die from colorectal cancer this year, and that 147,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The CDC suggests regular screenings to help reduce that number.
In a 2002 survey of adults more than 50 years old, less than 50 percent of respondents in Utah had been screened over a 10-year period.
There are four tests available which can increase early detection and treatment. The first is the fecal occult blood test or FOBT, which samples three consecutive stool samples.
Two types of FOBTs are available. Most home health professionals use the guaiac smear tests, which are interpreted in a laboratory.
Self-testing kits are available from drug stores or can be obtained for no charge from the health department as part of a campaign by the Utah Cancer Action Network to increase awareness and encourage screening. The self-test kits use flushable reagent pads, where there is no stool handling. The test is performed by a placing a test pad in the toilet after defecation. The pad will show results, which then are noted on a card that can be taken or mailed to a physician for review. Test from the health department are mailed to a laboratory where the results are analyzed.
The second test is a felxible sigmoidoscopy, where physicians examine the interior walls of the rectum and part of the colon using a flexible, lighted tube.
Third, a colonoscopy uses a longer tube that the sigmoidoscope to examine the entire colon. The colonoscope also allows physicians to collect tissue samples and remove polyps. Polyps are usually nonmalignant growths which often obstruct the normal path through the digestive tract. However, polyps can later develop to form cancerous regions.
The fourth test is the double-contrast barium enema, which is a series of X-rays of the colon and rectum.
The CDC does not recommend digital rectal examinations as a screening method for colorectal cancer. The procedure is more effective in detecting problems with the prostate in male patients, but because it only examines a limited region, experts suggest that more intense examinations be made for effective screening.
The CDC recommends that both men and women more than 50 years old receive a FOBT annually, a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, a double-contrast barium enema every five years and a colonoscopy every 10 years.
Those at higher risk should begin at a younger age and may require more frequent testing. Higher risk individuals include those with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer syndromes or inflammatory bowel disease.

About Chennai
Known as Madras for three centuries, the city reverted to its traditional, pre-colonial name – Chennai – in 1996. The first British settlement in India, the then Madras was founded in 1639 by the British East India Company on the site of a fishing village called Chennapatnam. Now the capital of Tamil Nadu state, the fourth largest city in India and the gateway to the south, Chennai is a sprawling industrial metropolis often compared to Detroit for its heavy involvement in automotive manufacturing.
Modern-day Chennai is frequently knocked for not having Mumbai's money, Bengaluru's buzz or the dramatic history of Delhi, but as many Chennaiite's will attest, it possesses a culture unlike any other in India. At the essence of Tamil tradition and culture is the celebration of beauty; exemplified through dance, clothing and sculpture. This can be best experienced by the city's traditional arts, music and dance scene.
Admittedly, Chennai is not a city that immediately captivates. However, scratch the surface and the surprising modesty of this cosmopolitan city and economic powerhouse will soon grow on you, as demonstrated by its large migrant and expatriate population.
With the second longest continuous beach in the world, Chennai's Coromandel coastline is justifiably well known. Marina Beach is 12km long and its elegant promenade features colourful flowerbeds and makes for a wonderful walk.
Alternatively visit Edward Elliot's Beach. Favoured by Chennai's youth, it is quiet during the day but action packed at night. Finally, avoid the humidity at Breezy Beach. As its name suggests, a gentle breeze whips the heat away from this small stretch of beach and it's therefore favoured by tourists unused to Chennai's sultry climate. However, be careful: the beaches may be beautiful and inviting, but the water is not. Strong currents pose a considerable risk to even the strongest swimmer.
From Marina Beach, head south and look out for the 8th-century Parthasarathy Temple which is believed to be Chennai's oldest temple. Further south still is Mylapore, the old heart of Chennai. Here is Basilica of San Thome, the supposed final resting place of Thomas the Apostle. A major (and neon-lit) attraction, the stained glass windows recount his tale. Just 1km west is Chennai's most impressive temple: Kapaleshvara. A hive of activity, the temple is marked by a 36-metre gateway tower adorned with detailed figures and inscriptions dating from the 13th century.
Dining and Nightlife
Chennai has numerous restaurants, offering an assortment of cuisine from Chinese, Thai, Korean and Japanese, to Spanish, Italian and Mexican. Fine dining options are mainly confined to the city's five star hotels but for a true taste of Chennai, head for one of the many traditional South Indian restaurants. Here you'll be expected to eat with your fingers as opposed to cutlery. Rice, dosa, idli and uttapam are staples of Tamil cuisines, while one of the city's most famous beverages is its piping hot filter coffee.
Vegetarian options abound, but if you're a meat eater look for the 'non-vegetarian' restaurants where the meat will be coated with intense spices. The densest concentration of restaurants is found at Alwarpet's TTK Road, or along the beachfront, but ask around for the best recommendations.
Chennai's orthodox values ensure that its nightlife is somewhat muted: a situation further encouraged by the police who ensure that the official closing time of midnight is strictly adhered to. Most of the best options can be found in the city's upmarket hotels – consult Chennaiites, concierges and local newspapers for the best bars and nightclubs.
Beyond Chennai
Take a day trip to Mamallapuram, 60km south of Chennai. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its stone carvings and 'Krishna's Butterball', a giant, natural, completely spherical rock perched on a hillside. The town is a little commercialised but still worth a visit. Fifteen kilometres past Mamallapuram is Kanchipuram, the 'City of a Thousand Temples'. It's located on the Palar River and in addition to its numerous temples the city is known for its beautiful hand-woven silk saris.

For the third year in a row, the 2009 vintage started off with a dry spring, which typically produces smaller clusters, smaller berries, and less canopy overall. Spring was mild enough to ward off frost this year, and vines affected from the previous year seamed to rebound. The main growing season was cool to warm and without incident.

The unlocked Motorola Flipout has been a long-rumored phone that finally appears as if it will be coming to fruition in the United States. The first thing that you will notice about the phone is its odd shape. It is shaped like a square, and is quite small. It only has a 2.8 inch touchscreen display with a 320x240 resolution. It also features a 600 MHz CPU, which is a bit underpowered when you are running applications, and a 3 megapixel camera that also does not meet current standards for smart devices.
The good news is that the phone does have a few upsides. The keyboard is easy to type on and is spacious for the size of the device. Of course, because the device itself is so small it might get a little bit uncomfortable if you type on it for long periods of time, but it really couldn't be any better given the space that it has to work with. The phone is very unique, and has a rotating design that brings the keyboard out from underneath. It is also very affordable, and runs Android 2.1 well, although you might experience some problems if you have numerous apps running at the same time.
Calling on the device is fairly uncomfortable. Its small design and square shape take you out of your element when holding it up to your ear, and I have noticed that a few of my favorite apps do not run on the device, likely because of the size of the screen. It's lack of power in its processor and camera are also concerning, but overall, for the price at least, the Motorola Flipout unlocked gadegt is a neat little device that should hold you over until that next big release comes out. You will get a lot of questions about it, that's for sure.
