Cisco® Service Control technology offers service providers the ability to classify application traffic and identify subscribers while prioritizing and optimizing network resources. Using stateful deep packet inspection, operators can optimize traffic on their networks, thereby increasing efficient use of network resources, reducing costs, and maximizing capital investment. State-of-the-art bandwidth management can be applied to network traffic on a global, subscriber, or individual flow-level hierarchy, helping ensure that operators can better manage network resource distribution.
Application and Subscriber Awareness and Control Through Stateful Deep Packet Inspection
• Poor customer satisfaction caused by a degraded broadband experience that affects all subscribers
• Upgrading expensive backbone links
• An inability to effectively detect, monitor, or control P2P traffic with conventional equipment
• Increases in monthly transit payments caused by surges in peak bandwidth and total volume

This is the smartest idea I've seen in children's furniture in quite some time.
The Q Collection has created an amazing crib that turns into just about every piece of furniture that you'll need for baby from birth to toddler. The Overachiever Crib includes seven conversions to make it a bassinet (rock or not), crib (rock or not), changer, daybed, and toddler bed. That's one smart crib and one smart investment!
Stage one of the Overachiever Crib is a bassinet. You can decide if you want it to be a rocking bassinet or stationary. It also includes a comfy bassinet mattress and works great in a shared family space or master bedroom.
Stage two is the crib stage. I love the idea of a rocking crib – so smart! Or choose to use it with the included changing station. This is a great solution for a family with a small nursery or nursery nook in the master.
Stage 3 is a daybed conversion. A day bed is a great way to transition a child to a toddler bed because it offers one fixed side. We've been thinking about transitioning Charlie to this type of bed before our new baby arrives.
The final conversion of the Overachiever is the toddler bed. I love that this bed doesn't look like a converted crib. I find that often cribs that are converted look awkward and strange, but this bed looks modern and inviting – perfect for a boy or girl.
The Overachiever comes in three soothing color choices, cloud, moonlight, or mercury. All are made in the USA and constructed of 100% locally harvested ash. You and baby will certainly feel comfortable with this smart sleeping option.
Looking for a full nursery ensemble? Pair the Overachiever with the Q Collection's Junior Showoff Changing table for a perfectly matched nursery duo.

Law enforcement officers have arrested 11 people in northeast Arkansas on rape and child pornography charges involving a 12-year-old girl.
Jonesboro Police Sgt. Lyle Waterworth told reporters that local, state and federal officers arrested seven adults and four juveniles in various cities and towns in the region on Tuesday.
Waterworth says the investigation began in December with the report of a runaway 12-year-old girl. Waterworth says the girl eventually returned home and her mother found numerous suspicious text messages on the girl's cell phone.
Waterworth says police found explicit photos and about 59,000 text messages on the phone.

ZF-2230: View helper for checkbox is not compatible with array
Zend_View_Helper_FormCheckbox should NOT render hidden element with "0" value when the name of the checkbox is array-like variable such as
$this->formCheckbox('languages[]', ...
Because programmer usually needs submit only those items, which are checked and not fill the array with zeros
I vote to modify the code something like that
$is_array = substr($name, -2) == '[]'; if (!$is_array) { $xhtml .= $this->_hidden($name, $options[1]); }
Assigning to [~matthew] and marking to fix for 1.1.0 or next mini release.
Resolved in trunk. The 'options' argument now is no longer used; simply provide a true value to the 'checked' attribute, and the checkbox will be checked appropriately (a false value will leave it unchecked).

PCC in the News
News: Civil Rights Activist Connie Rice to Lecture on Campus Feb. 21
Pasadena City College is proud to present a lecture by Connie Rice, prominent civil rights activist and lawyer, on Thursday, Feb. 21, in Creveling Lounge beginning at noon.
Rice will be discussing her book "Power Concedes Nothing," which is a memoir of her life and career. She has received more than 50 awards for her work in expanding opportunity and advancing multi-racial democracy.
"I heard her speak and I got the book right after," said Beverly Tate, assistant professor in PCC's English Division.
Rice has been designated by the California Law Business Journal as one of the top 10 most influential lawyers in the state two times. While in law school, Rice worked extensively on capital punishment cases at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. After she graduated, she clerked for the Honorable Damon J. Keith at the United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit before heading back to California and establishing herself as "the voice of Los Angeles' oppressed."
Rice, a second cousin of former U.S. Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice, is also the co-founder and co-director of the Advancement Project in Los Angeles, an organization dedicated to closing the opportunity gap and helping members of all communities have the safety, opportunity and health needed to thrive.
This event is free and open to the public.

Bird Late Goal Guides No. 9 Field Hockey to 2-1 Win at Delaware
An Amanda Bird goal in the 63rd minute lifted the No. 9 Princeton field hockey team to a 2-1 victory over Delaware on the road Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Tigers improve to 7-4 on the year.
On their second shot 11 minutes into the game, Michelle Cesan provided the Tigers with a 1-0 advantage. The senior midfielder took the ball in the circle and sent in the go-ahead goal off a backhand shot.
Princeton was unable to add to its lead before halftime, only tallying three more shots before the break.
Delaware capitalized on a rebound in the 42nd minute to equalize things, 1-1. Clare O'Malley picked up Michaela Patzner's blocked shot on her knees to break up Princeton's shutout.
On its fifth penalty corner, Princeton struck again to retake the lead for good. At 62:32, Julia Reinprecht fed in the ball to Cesan and Bird was there with a perfect finish to score her first goal of the year.
Both sides finished with 10 shots apiece and Princeton held a 6-5 penalty corner advantage. Anya Gersoff tallied five saves to improve to 5-3 on the year in the cage.
The Tigers resume league play next weekend, taking on Brown on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 12 noon. Princeton will look to extend its Ivy winning ways and improve on its perfect 3-0 record.

Vintage Theo: Our Fremont Factory Building Over the Years
Theo Chocolate was founded in 2005 in a historic brick building in the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle. The building was built in 1905 and it has housed an interesting array of tenants.
It sheltered some of Seattle's electric trolley fleet until 1941, during which Fremont was a streetcar suburb. At one point, the entire city was webbed in a network of streetcar lines, and they helped settle the various neighborhoods. The last streetcar rolled into the building, known as the Fremont Barn, on April 13th and the tracks began to be sold as scrap.
Occasionally the Fremont Historical Society will give a walking tour detailing the old streetcar lines in the neighborhood, starting at our door. After looking at so many of these photos we see the Waiting for the Interurban sculpture down the road a little differently now…
After being a transportation hub, the building housed many artists in the later part of the 20th century, until the Redhook Brewery settled here in the early 1980s. Here is the inside of the building while being readied for Theo Chocolate during 2005! We started production in 2006.

Sure, I can make links to whatever you need (I have that kind of power). But can you give me a little more direction on what you are needing links to?
One thing that can be hard to figure out is that the left-hand menu is two-tiered. Under the workshop section you'll find things that relate specifically to the workshop. If you click on 'Hurricanes Climate Connection' then the workshop menu items disappear and you get a new menu that applies to general references and resources for this topic.
Anyway, let me know what would be helpful and I'll try to arrange things accordingly.

Sorry to be such a pebble in the shoe; I may have overstated the situation in a bout of calorie deprivation earlier this afternoon... But here's a starter: Profile
I can't seem to get to my Profile page -- either the one I've submitted or the development one -- without going to the Technical Information page, scrolling down, and clicking on the link to 'setting up an account' (or words to that effect). The segment on the Tech Info page on 'creating a profile' doesn't have a means of directly linking to the profile itself. Nor does the link for Participants and Profiles enable me to get to my profile. I'll get used to it, but I'm a slow learner...

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying.
OK, here are two changes that may help.
1. I added a link to the SERC login on the program page where it says to work on your profile page (Monday afternoon). At least that will save you a bit of searching to get to the login.
2. I added this to the tech page instructions for editing your profile page. It's a shortcut:
A quick way to edit your page is to go to the development version of the page. You can do this by changing the URL as follows:
*insert /dev after the edu in the URL*
Note that you only have permission to see the development version of your own page and you won't be able to see the development version of any other pages. Also, if you are not logged in you will be asked to do so along the way.
Once you are viewing the development version of your page, click the red 'edit' button in the upper right corner and you will go to the editing platform for the page.
I hope this helps! If not, please let me know. One of the nice things about our system is that it's quite flexible. So it's important for us to hear from actual users so we can tune things to work better.

I think one good approach is to just head for the program page each morning: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/hurricanes08/program.html
You'll find today's schedule there, and the links to watch and hear past sessions right along with the other information about each session. There's a link at the top of the program page to the technical information page which has the dial-in number and access code at the top as well as the yugma link and the instructions for getting to the profile page.
The navigation menu on the left side of each of these pages includes links to the discussion, program, and technical information pages. So once you've found one you should be able to easily move to the others.
Perhaps Karin can consider also including the yugma url and the dial number/code in the emails that are going out each morning.

I followed the activity link at the end of the workshop program (Tuesday)and spent around an hour filling in my general activity idea. I filled in the spam filter and pressed submit. Is there a delay in the posting of an activity submission or did I loose the text I typed (I hope not).

Don't worry, it's not lost!
There is a delay while either Sean or I upload your text into a web page. That is done now and your page is linked from your profile page. All of the pages so far are also here:

Humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance

Landmines and unexploded ordnance kill thousands of people around the world each year. Germany is actively working for the prohibition of anti-personnel mines. The Federal Foreign Office supports humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance projects around the world and has been one of the foremost international donors in this field for many years.
In partnership with experienced organisations on the ground, the German Government helps countries clear mines, cluster munitions and unexploded ordnance, when such contamination causes problems for local communities. The main aim is to ensure people's physical safety and alleviate suffering. Victim assistance projects in particular serve this aim. The aid is also intended to help the countries concerned fulfil their obligations under the Ottawa Convention on Anti-Personnel Mines, the Oslo Convention on Cluster Munitions and the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.
The worldwide implementation of these Conventions remains one of the German Government's major aims. In this way, we hope to make a lasting contribution towards ensuring that anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war will not be deployed in the future and will thus no longer pose a threat.
Mine clearance in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Goal: A world free of anti-personnel mines
Locating and clearing mines and unexploded ordnance remains a dangerous, expensive and time-consuming process. The Federal Foreign Office is actively campaigning for the prohibition of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions, and also supports projects in currently about a dozen countries in the field of mine and ordnance clearance.
Tremendous efforts undertaken by the international community mean that considerable headway has been made in tackling the landmine problem around the world. These and the entry into force on 1 August 2010 of the Convention on Cluster Munitions have brought us closer to a world free of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions.
According to the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), the remaining contaminated areas can be cleared in the next few years.
Mission possible – the battle against landmines is winnable
However, people in many countries continue to suffer as a result of explosive remnants of war (landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions), not least due to landmines and cluster munitions which have sometimes lain buried for decades. Good orthopaedic and psycho-social treatment for the victims is vital. In severely contaminated areas, simply stepping off hard-surfaced roads is a risk to life and limb. The fear of landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions also adversely affects the life of whole communities, making people too afraid to use roads or till their fields.
Landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions laid or deployed indiscriminately and without reliable documentation pose a particular risk. Since the precise location and extent of the contaminated areas are usually unknown, it is unfortunately often only when accidents happen that the hidden danger is revealed.
In many countries, unexploded ordnance, cluster munitions and uncontrolled ordnance today cause more casualties than landmines. The clearance programmes funded by the Federal Foreign Office take this fact into account. These programmes aim to create a safe environment for the local population by tackling all three threats – landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions – at once.
Efforts of the German Government
Germany is a party to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects (United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons), the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (Ottawa Convention) and the Convention on Cluster Munitions, and is campaigning strongly for these Conventions to be implemented and become universal in scope.
Well into the 1990s, anti-personnel mines were considered indispensable by the armed forces in many countries. Up till then such weapons were found in practically every country's arsenal and during the Cold War neither the public at large nor the politicians had any doubts about their legality. The global trade in mines flourished and many state and non-state players deployed them without any scruples or thought for the long-term humanitarian consequences, mostly in internal conflicts.
Together with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, from the mid-1990s onwards the German Government pushed hard for a ban on anti-personnel mines and played a leading role in the drafting and implementation of the Ottawa Convention. The unilateral announcement in 1996 that Germany would no longer deploy anti-personnel mines gave a further boost to the international negotiation process.
Following the deployment of cluster munitions in the Middle East in summer 2006, there were calls for a ban on these munitions. The German Government pointed out early on that the deployment of cluster munitions puts the civilian population in particular at risk, not least because certain types are known to have a high dud rate. We therefore supported the negotiating process on a convention on cluster munitions from the start. The aim was to ensure better protection for the civilian population from the hazards associated with these weapons and thereby contribute to the further development of international humanitarian law.
Convention on Cluster Munitions
The Oslo Process on Cluster Munitions initiated by Norway outside the UN context in February 2007 produced the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which was signed by 94 countries (including Germany) in Oslo on 3 December 2008 and entered into force on 1 August 2010.
The German Government's engagement at political level has been accompanied for many years now by funds for humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance measures. Since 1992 it has supported projects in about 40 different countries. In 2014 the Federal Foreign Office spent 13.2 million euros on clearance projects in 13 countries, making a major contribution towards eliminating the problem.

Federal Foreign Office aid projects
Germany has become one of the world's biggest and most reliable donors in the field of humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance, thus ensuring that it does justice to its highly visible role in the implementation and universalisation of the Ottawa and Cluster Munitions Conventions and the UN Conventional Weapons Convention. In global terms, Germany is one of the major donor countries.
Clearance, awareness and victim assistance projects are funded in particular in places where landmines and unexploded ordnance (including cluster munitions) pose a humanitarian problem, for example in Afghanistan, Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, and South-East Asia.

The victim assistance projects supported by the Federal Foreign Office seek to provide physical and psychological treatment for victims and legal advice for them and their families. The Federal Foreign Office provided around 4.2 million euros between 2008 and 2013 for 25 projects in this field. The German Government has thus fulfilled the pledge it made at the Second Review Conference of the Ottawa Convention in Cartagena in 2010 to enhance its funding of victim assistance projects. In 2014 Germany provided 2.5 million euros.
Looking ahead
Although much has been achieved in the battle against anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions since the 1990s, many countries are unlikely to be able to fulfil the obligations they have assumed under these Conventions on schedule, especially as regards the clearance of suspected contaminated areas. Over the years ahead these countries will therefore still need appropriate international support.
In addition to funding bilateral projects, the Federal Foreign Office will continue to work with the relevant international players concerned with humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance. Its main partners here are the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), which has been given a coordinating role within the United Nations; the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL); the Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC); and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD).

The changing market
The real estate "boom" is over, experts say. With change comes both risk and opportunity.
It's been a good run -- for home sellers
that is.
In many markets over the past five years,
anyone posting a "for sale" sign in the front yard was
virtually guaranteed to ignite a bidding war. Buyers
pushed prices into the stratosphere in a mad dash to
nab record-low interest rates and roll the dice on one
of the biggest run-ups in real estate history. Lots
of sellers doubled their investment dollars in a few
short years.
But appreciation rates in even the hottest
markets, such as New York and San Francisco, are starting
to soften. And in some rather chilly markets, including
those in South Bend, Ind., and Erie, Pa., single-family
home prices have actually declined during the year ending
in December 2005, according to the latest survey from
the National Association of Realtors.
*Data of median home prices between
year-end 2004 and 2005.
Source: National Association of Realtors, Quarterly
Housing Affordability Index
Slower appreciation rates are good news
for the economy, experts say, as the real estate market
settles into a more sustainable rate of growth. They're
not great news for sellers, who might have to resort
to some creative marketing tactics to set their homes
for buyers
"Seller concessions have not been common in the last
five years," says Walter Molony, spokesman for the National
Association of Realtors. "Sellers haven't had to offer
them. But as we become more balanced, especially in
areas of high inventory, that's where you'll see the
use of concessions become a bit more common."
Seller concessions are incentives the
homeowner provides to entice buyers. They can include
anything from a decorating allowance (think scuffed
hardwood floors) to contributions toward closing costs.
Historically, concessions have been introduced
during the negotiating process -- often after an inspection
reveals undisclosed problems within the house. But Quicken
Loans Chief Economist Bob Walters says they can also
be an effective way to attract buyers.
"In difficult markets, as it is here in
the Midwest, the balance of power is shifting," Walters
says. "If your house is already priced aggressively
and you've updated the home and done everything you
can for curb appeal, what's left? The only answer for
many sellers, unfortunately, is to cut the price. But
if you advertise in your listing that you can help buyers
get a payment that's hundreds of dollars less per month
than they would pay in a similar home down the street,
you're really differentiating yourself."

National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund
- Submission Document: Not available
Full SubmissionSTATEMENT: Human beings are the center of all sustainable development. The loss of mothers and babies due to lack of even basic health care and the failure to dedicate adequate resources to save women's lives is the greatest impediment to development in all areas. It is essential to the achievement of MDG Goals 4 & 5 (as well as 6) and to their empowerment that women of the developing world receive the kind health care, particularly maternal and child health care, which has been available to women in the developed world for over 60 years, that would provide a safe outcome for mother and child. The world has failed to reach these goals because the resources have been directed toward decreasing the number of children women deliver, rather than making the delivery of their children safe and has failed to properly direct resources to save women?s lives. There is no doubt that unless and until MDG 5 (improving maternal health) is fully realized, none of the other MDGs will succeed and the world will be no better off than we were when the MDGs were conceived 11 years ago. Even though the new estimates by Lancet of 350,000 per year are 150,000 fewer than the WHO estimates of over 500,000, these new estimates are still shockingly high. MDG 5 will not be achieved by 2015 unless there is a significant acceleration in allocation and in proper direction of resources. We have grave concern about the false and dangerous claims that the way to reduce maternal mortality in the developing world is to legalize abortion. It is never necessary to directly attack the unborn child to protect the health of the mother in non life threatening cases and that laws against abortion should and do allow for those medical procedures that prevent the death of the mother while at the same time striving to save the baby?s life. The WHO also tells us that 99% of maternal mortality occurs in the Developing World. We have known how to save women?s lives in the developed world for over 60 years. According to WHO, the dramatic decline in maternal mortality in the Developed World from 1940?s to 1950?s coincided with the development of obstetric techniques, the availability of antibiotics and improvement in the general health status of women (WHO, Maternal Mortality: A Global Fact Book, 1991) The lack of modern medicine and quality health care, not the prohibition of abortion, results in high maternal mortality rates. Legalized abortion actually leads to more abortions?and in the developing world, where maternal health care is poor, legalization would increase the number of women who die or are harmed by abortion. Legal abortion does not mean safe abortion. The evidence shows that a country?s maternal mortality rate is determined to a much greater extent by the quality of medical care than by the legal status of abortion. Abortion complications are not a function of the legality of the procedure, but by the overall medical circumstances in which abortion is performed. In its 2003 Report, Unsafe Abortion (Fifth edition), the World Health Organization states: ?In some countries, lack of resources and possibly skills may mean that even abortions that meet the legal and medical requirements of the country would not necessarily be considered sufficiently safe in high-resource settings?. In other words, as they said in their 1998 Report, ?the legality or illegality of the services may not be the defining factor of their safety?. Comparison made between nations that have strong abortion restrictions, such as Ireland and Poland, and nations that permit abortion on demand, such as Russia and the United States, demonstrates that nations with strong abortion restrictions actually have lower maternal death rates than countries that permit abortion on demand. For example, in India abortion is broadly legal, but maternal deaths are common due to dangerous medical conditions. According to Abortion Policies:A Global Review by the UNPD, ?Despite the liberalization of the abortion law, unsafe abortions have contributed to the high rates of maternal mortality in India [570 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990.? Conversely, the maternal mortality rate in Paraguay is much lower, despite the prohibition of most abortions and the fact that ?clandestine abortion is common.? The rate has actually been declining??from 300 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1986 to the most recent 1995 government estimate of 190 deaths per 100,000 live births.? The key, therefore, to reduction in maternal mortality rates from all causes, including abortion, is the improvement of maternal health care, not the legalization of abortion. In the developing world?where medical care, antibiotics, and even basic asepsis are scarce or absent?promoting abortion would increase, not decrease maternal mortality. No abortion is ever completely safe, and, of course, abortion is never safe for the youngest member of the human family--the unborn child, who at the time of most abortions, which are performed at eight or ten weeks, already has a beating heart, brain waves, eyes, ears, fingers and toes. Abortion is not good for women. With every abortion there is at least one dead and one wounded and sometimes two dead. Mothers still die and many are terribly wounded physically, emotionally or psychologically by abortion. Again, human beings must be the center of all sustainable development.

Panama City - Three local female pilots are making final preparations for what could be one of the greatest adventures of their lives. They are participating in a cross country air race that Amelia Earhart made famous decades ago. But it's not just a sense of accomplishment they're after, the trio is trying to encourage other women, young and old, to pursue the pilot's seat.
More than 2300 nautical miles, over 23 states, in less than 4 days. That's the Air Race Classic challenge. The racers: a team of Bay County grandmothers. The women-only race was made famous by Amelia Eahart in 1929, and these locals are eager to make their mark in aviation history. But that's not all, one of the major reasons the women are racing, is to get more women in the pilot's seat. "In the 100 years that women have been licensed pilots, there are only 7 percent of the licensed pilots in the world today that are women," said Linda Artman, a pilot and member of Team Up.
Their' is a message of soaring to new heights in the classroom as well. "In the next decade it's estimated the new jobs in Florida will require a STEM degree. The challenge is to motivate to students to want to study science, technology, engineering and math because they are tough fields of study. Aviation is a great link between STEM education and the outside world, to show the exciting side of STEM and racing is an exciting side of aviation," said pilot Leah Dunn, who will by flying in the race.
With the 55 plane race starting in Lake Havasu, Arizona and ending in Batavia, Ohio, the route alone will offer some exciting challenges. "Going over the mountains, going over the desert terrain, we have a lot of high density altitude. The plane's power is reduced when it gets hot, we'll have to work with the weather, the pop-up thunderstorms like we see here, we will have to deal with all of it as we fly this race this summer," said flight instructor Joan Evert.
The team is raising money for a new interactive aviation exhibit at the Science and Discovery Center of Northwest Florida. For more information and to follow the team while they are racing, find them on facebook, search teamupairracers. Or click on newslinks on wjhg.com

Post subject: Questions about e-readers and sharing
I'm about ready to take the e-reader plunge and have determined that a Kindle will work best as my primary reading gadget. I realize that means I can't read ebooks purchased from Barnes & Noble or other outlets with proprietary DRM. My questions concern ebooks without DRM.
1. If I have a Kindle and purchase ebooks without DRM, would I also be able to read those same books through a Nook (or some other) app, perhaps on an iThing or on my PC? Not sure that would ever be an issue, but the iPod Touch is awfully tempting.
2. My niece has a Nook e-reader and I've recently discovered that we like some of the same types of books. If I have ebooks that are DRM-free, which would almost certainly be purchased from a source other than B&N, can I "loan" those books to her if I've got the Nook app somewhere, or is loaning strictly a Nook-to-Nook deal and/or only for ebooks purchased from B&N?
I appreciate whatever wisdom is offered!

1. You can actually read non-DRM PDFs on your Kindle. If they're ePUB, then you may be able to read them on the NOOK app (not sure), but you can definitely read them on several other generic eReading apps like Bluefire (for iOS) or Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions (Mac or PC).
2. I'm almost positive NOOK book loans are restricted to NOOKBooks, i.e. NOOK eBooks purchased from B&N. After all, that's the perk.
I have a NOOK Color, and while I'm very happy with it, it must said in all fairness that there is very, very little that B&N has that Amazon doesn't. In Canada, there is only one big reason for not buying a Kindle and that is the lack of library borrowing. But if you're in the States, that reason doesn't exist.
Enjoy your Kindle!

Hi melann, if you purchase DRM free books you can do pretty much anything with them and convert them to any format you choose and share them with who you choose.
If an ebook of any type is DRM free you can convert it to any format using a wonderful and FREE program called Calibre. It's very easy to use.
Say you buy a DRM free ebook in .mobi format (which is what the Kindle reads) you can take it and make it into an .epub file (which is read on the Nook) so you can share it with any Nook owners. You can take any format including .pdf, .epub, .mobi and change them to any other one. There are more options as well but I forget them all.
You would have to do this through your computer but it's very easy to get a book onto a Kindle or a Nook via the cord that comes with each ereader.
If you have any questions be sure to post as many people here use Calibre to organize and convert books!

Thank you both so much for your feedback. I do appreciate it!
ChrisReader, I've heard of Calibre elsewhere and it's definitely on my must-have list
I amass a large ebook collection. I figure that's a job best tackled early on. If ebooks turn out to be like paper books for me, I'll have an overwhelming collection in record time (with me looking around in bewilderment, trying to figure out how that happened).
I'd rather get a workable process on the front end rather than try to sort it out later.
Thanks again!

Just remember before sharing that fear of uncontrolled sharing is probably one of the main reasons publishers persist in DRM. Digital copies aren't like printed books, because you can still read your copy while someone else reads a copy you passed along. Most ebook sales are actually worded more as licenses to use rather than outright sales.
As for being organized, I strongly agree. I keep a spreadsheet of all ebooks I buy or find for (legal) free download.
These are the columns in my ebook spreadsheet:
Genre, Author, Title, Publisher, Subgenre, cYear, Source, DateDown, Price, Download, Load, PagesL, ReadTime?, $/pg, Read
I might change the spreadsheet slightly if I was starting from scratch now, but with the thousands of lines already entered I am unlikely to change it. (I have almost 4,000 ebooks acquired since I started in 2006.)
The ReadTime column is an estimated reading time based on the page count, since I prefer to finish first reads the same day I start them and this lets me pick books short enough for the time available.

As always, I'm in awe of your spreadsheets, databases and general organization surrounding your reading (I mean that - no sarcasm!). I can do it at work but have never managed it at home. I've tried spreadsheets with my print books and always fall behind. I'm planning to try Calibre for my ebooks in hopes I'll be more diligent with that than with Excel.
On the other hand, I'm about to have to bite the bullet and convert my "library" room to a bedroom. After the wailing and gnashing of teeth, I plan to see this as yet another opportunity to catalog my books under the pretext of knowing where to find them after they're scattered throughout the house. My hopes are not high, but I refuse to admit defeat before I even start.

If you are planning to catalog an existing personal library, set up the project with reasonable goals. (A shelf a day, a couple shelf-feet a day, whatever you feel you can stick to until it's done.) I keep my lists up to date by making sure I always catalog new purchases immediately, but the first full cataloging of our (then much smaller) F&SF collection many years ago was done over an extended period. When I started buying romances a couple decades ago I had already developed the immediate cataloging habit.
Also think about what data you want in your catalog. Our main book lists are just title & author, with series order handled by title order in the list. My reading log since 1975 was just date, title & author. I started keeping a little more data in my log around 2000 to make my participation in the AAR annual poll easier, and have made minor changes to it since then.

Thalassemia is an inherited disorder that affects the production of normal hemoglobin (a type of protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues in the body). Thalassemia includes a number of different forms of anemia. The severity and type of anemia depends upon the number of genes that are affected.
This disorder is common in populations around the Mediterranean Sea, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The presenting signs and symptoms of all forms of thalassemia is anemia (a deficiency of red blood cells) in varying degrees from mild to severe.
Listed in the directory below, you will find additional information regarding two different types of thalassemia, for which we have provided a brief overview.

Every year since I have been blogging, I have written a post about my resolutions for the year to follow.
However, I will not be making resolutions for 2013. This year I am imitating my husband, who, when I said that except for marrying him, 2012 was a horrid year, said that he could name many wonderful things that happened to him in 2012. He then went on to name them, starting, wisely, with his marriage to me on September 20.
I was impressed with my husband's list, which named a few large blessings, but, for the most part, named small, seemingly insignificant occurrences. Case in point, he was thankful for having seen some good movies in 2012. That thought would not have occurred to me, because, well … I don't know why.
I think that although I have assessed my personality as being of the positive bent, I am more of the opposite.
I have been greatly affected by the tragedies of 2012, starting with the passing of my beloved dad, Harold J. Chadwick, in September. Some days my grief has known no relief, except for that of tears. It should have been relieved by praise and prayer. My father was a man after God's own heart, and I should have praised God every single day since Dad's "graduation" that he is now able to see the face of God. Instead, I have been feeling sorry for myself at the loss of someone I love so dearly. Forgive me, Dad, and forgive me, Father God, for not rejoicing at Your benevolence in receiving my earthly father into Your bosom.
I lost many family members this year; yet, all of them are now with the Lord, and so I rejoice at their happiness, that they are in a place where there is neither sorrow, nor remembrance of pain.
Therefore, resolving only this, to be thankful for the past year, I present my list of large and small blessings. I was fortunate to:
· Reacquaint myself with, fall in love with, and marry the most wonderful and handsome and kind Jeffrey W. Jones.
·Acquire three beautiful stepchildren—Darby, who is beautiful and funny and intelligent; Zachary, who is quirky in his most intelligent thoughts, makes me laugh with his commentary, fascinating to talk with, and who dreams big dreams; and Blaine, who is the king of awesome, and hears everything, and is the image of his father in all ways. All three of these children make me proud and are going to make the world a better place.
· Expand my family with my delightful in-laws: Willard and Rose Jones. I love you dearly.
· Behold the continuing wonder that is my eldest daughter, Sarah, a mother of unusual fierceness, who does everything with her whole heart, whether it is work, love, or showing her faith. Sarah has given me two delightful grandchildren, Hannah (the darling of my heart) and Michael (my boy wonder; for years I often wondered what to do with a boy child), and I love them with every fiber of my being and am inordinately proud of them both.
· Watch the continuing growth of my darling middle child, Amanda, whose intelligence and charm and love for animals and soccer knows no bounds.
· Marvel at the beauty, wit, and strength of my youngest daughter, Samantha, who also lost many family members this year on her father's side of the family, in addition to those lost on my side.
· Gain a future son-in-law, Alan Walke. Sam will marry him this year on December 7, 2013. She has made a marvelous choice for the companion of her life. Huzzah!
·Garner quality time with my most beautiful mother, Beverlee Chadwick, and my equally beautiful little sister, Barbara Chadwick Bentley, during the years we lived together in Batavia and Amelia.
· See the strength of my brothers, Steve Chadwick and Thomas Chadwick, during the hard days prior to and after my dad's passing.
· Laugh at my older sister, Kim's, very odd sense of humor, and enjoyed her three lovely daughters, and her grandchildren.
· Have a cat that does not love my mother more than it does me, as my boy-kitty Dickens does (the traitor). Dickens soon became my mother's delight after he was adopted, fed, and nurtured by me. He then decided I was not all that, and chose my mom instead. Now I have Bella, who, although she is Jeff's cat, is easily bribed with toys and treats and baby talk into loving me more—perhaps.

Helmstetter Reaches Scoring Milestone, Women's Basketball Beats Navy 73-57
Box Score
On a career night for sophomore Amanda Berntsen and senior Kristen Helmstetter, the Princeton women's basketball team earned a decisive 73-57 victory over Navy Friday evening in Annapolis, Md.
Berntsen paced the first half offense with 10 points, establishing a career-high with 12. She went 6-for-9 from the field and notched a career-best seven boards, all defensive. Her career marks continued as she tied a personal record with four assists, while adding a pair of steals over her 27 minutes of work.
For Helmstetter her milestone was one four years in the making. The post eclipsed the 500-point scoring mark, tallying 18 points for second-best in the game to bring her to 503 career points. The co-captain went 6-for-10 from the field and a perfect 6-for-6 from the stripe.
Nearly matching her own career high of 21 was Michelle Miller's 20, marking a season and game-high. The sophomore went 9-for-12 from the field and made a career-best four assists.
As a unit Princeton shot 50.9 percent (29-for-57) from the field and a perfect 100 percent (11-for-11) from the line, while holding Navy to 33.3 percent (21-for-63) in the game.
A Miller triple capped off a 9-0 run to lift Princeton to a 15-5 lead at 12:26, but Navy countered with seven uncontested points to make it a 15-12 contest at 9:29.
It would be the closest the Midshipmen would get for the remainder of the game, as Princeton showed a tremendous amount of resolve and put together a defining nearly six-minute run to go ahead 29-12 at 4:50.
The Tigers carried their rally into the locker room with a 36-22 advantage.
Coming out of the break, Princeton took its first 20-point lead behind an individual Miller 6-0 run to put the Orange and Black up 49-28 at 12:53.
The Tigers held Navy well below its 69.1 points per game average behind a sturdy defensive effort, outrebounding the Mids 42-33, as they teetered around a 20-point lead over the remainder of the half.
On a night where the sophomore class saw key contributors, fellow second-year player Annie Tarakchian led the Princeton rebounding effort with a game-high eight.
Princeton's (4-4) four-game road swing will conclude on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at Binghamton at 7 p.m.

Police have used armoured cars to confront a man believed to have shot seven people in a Texas street.
Six people are dead, including four children and two adults, after a rogue gunman in the US shot his family in a suburban street on Thursday.
Two of the deceased children were found with shots to the head, the other died from injuries at the scene.The children were aged between four and 13 years old.
The tense stand-off between the shooter and police lasted over four hours.

Hundreds of police evacuated the quiet suburban street as two SWAT tanks rolled in to trap the gunman in a cul-de-sac in suburban Houston.
Detective Ron Hickman said that the "gunman was believed to be the father of at least two of the children".
One child, a young girl, was airlifted to hospital but died shortly afterwards.
The lone survivor suffered a gun shot to the head but was able to call police to tell them that the suspect was going to a local restaurant to kill more members of the family.
A witness at the scene told the Houston Chronicle that the shooting arose out of a domestic dispute.
"The shooting involved someone who left the family," said the witness.
Detective Ron Hickman said that the wife of the suspect and the mother of two of the children was currently out of the state.
The shooting occured at a house near the deceased children's primary school, Lemm Elementary.
US news networks broadcast a live stream of the tense stand off.

Miami Dolphins: Why doesn't Tony Sparano just walk away?
Good thing Tony Sparano won 25 games the past three seasons and guided a record-setting turnaround from 1-15 to 11-5 and the playoffs his first season.
Imagine how Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross would be treating him if he hadn't?
The latest slap came Wednesday night with an ESPN report that Ross had flown to the Bay Area – along with GM Jeff Ireland (who isn't going anywhere) and former NFL executive Carl Peterson — to "make an urgent pitch" to Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh. The report had Ross prepared to make Harbaugh the highest-paid coach in the NFL, which could mean paying him upwards of $40 million over the next five years.
(That disturbing sound you just heard? That was a certain Coach Hoodie cackling madly up in Foxborough.)
Forget the fact Sparano hasn't been fired (yet).
Forget the fact Ross hasn't said a word publicly about Sparano's job performance since telling my former Sun Sentinel colleague Sarah Talalay he "love[s] all those guys" when she asked him about potential staff changes in mid-November. Ross was in New York City to give a major address to a Sports Business Journal-sponsored conference of some sort.
When Sarah (who is going to work for the State Department; good luck, Sarah!) pressed him on the issue, Ross said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
By the way, do you know who Ross walked out of that conference practically arm-in-arm with?
Veteran sports agent Jack Bechta, who oh-by-the-way just happens to represent Harbaugh.
Man, I should have seen this coming seven weeks ago!
Now, there's nothing wrong with pursuing the hottest coaching candidate on the market, especially when he's just led the Harvard of the West to a 12-1 record and the No. 4 national ranking (at least). However, there's a right way and a wrong way to go about it. There's a protocol you need to follow.
Step 1: Fire the incumbent.
Step 2: Interview a minority or two to stay in compliance with the NFL's Rooney Rule.
Step 3: Throw gobs and gobs of cash at the object of your affection.
Somehow, Ross — an extremely successful businessman — has skipped right over the first two steps, and that could yet cause him to trip up in his pursuit of Harbaugh. Probably not fatally, but quite possibly temporarily.
In the end, if it comes to this, look for the Dolphins to hastily arrange "interviews" with one of their current minority assistants — Kacy Rodgers, Karl Dorrell, James Saxon or Todd Bowles (who looks headed to Dallas as defensive coordinator) — and THEN, having appeased the Fritz Pollard Alliance to at least some sufficient extent, slide that mountain of cash Captain Comeback's way.
Oh, yeah, first they'll fire Sparano.
Hey, Tony, thanks for the memories. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Which leads to the question: Why doesn't a proud man like Sparano, a dues-paying New Haven dude who in recent days has pointed out he "has no ego" and is just "one of the grinders," simply tell Ross to take his job and shove it?
Sorry, ain't gonna happen. Not with $3 million still owed to Sparano for a 2011 season he can't possibly expect to coach now.
Who's going to walk away from that? Certainly not Sparano, who at 49 has a wife and three kids to think about.
Besides, on the off chance Ross' very public pursuit of Harbaugh falls apart — the 49ers haven't completely bowed out and neither have the Broncos — Sparano still appears willing to coach this team one more time in 2011.
Amazing, isn't it?
"Until something is done, you don't know what's going to happen," a league source said. "All these things that might happen, could happen, well, they could not happen. Then you look up and go, 'Hey, this can still work.' "
I wouldn't be so sure of that, not with players such as Ricky Williams and Jason Taylor coming out of the shadows to point out Sparano's flaws as a "micromanager." Then again, what else is a "football head" like Sparano going to do with his life?
"Look at Jeff Fisher in Tennessee," the source said. "He was just going through some of the same stuff."
Until Wednesday, that is, when Titans owner Bud Adams finally sided with the league's most-tenured head coach and promised to dump mood-swinging quarterback Vince Young instead. Smart move, Bud.
Who knows, maybe Young winds up with the Dolphins. Maybe he even plays for Sparano in 2011, swallowed pride and all.
"It's kind of like you go, 'There's only 32 of these jobs out there,' " the source said. "These guys do what they've got to do to keep one of them."
No matter how painful or embarrassing that might be.

This double jar feeder is for use in Warre, Langstroth or top bar hives. This is our favorite feeder as it doesn't leak and allows for twice the storage capacity of other feeders.
To use in top bar hives - Place feeder in the bottom of your hive on the side of the follower board with bees. The feeder sits in such a way that the bees can still access liquid by going under. Regularly monitor through the window to ensure the bees don't build comb around the feeder, or drill a small hole in one of your dividers, placing the feeder on the other side. This way the bees can't build comb around it.
To use in Warre hives - Add feeder above the populated boxes in an empty Warre box. Cut a flap in the center of your burlap/screen and place the feeder directly on top. This way the bees can move up into the feeder but not past it.

If your family is as far-flung as mine, the holiday season may be one of the few times of the year you'll see some relatives. In my family's holiday pictures, the kids usually look completely different from one year to the next! Maybe one of your relatives has changed too and unfortunately, may be struggling with a mental health issue.
Possible signs may include a lower than normal mood, a lack of interest in family activities (withdrawal), crying spells or other symptoms of depression.
As someone who struggles with anxiety, having my family's support is critical. Before I was first diagnosed, I was very defensive about my symptoms, and would brush off people's concerns (with some serious teenage attitude). Here is some advice I can share about helping someone you think may be in distress.
What You Can Do
- Voice your concerns to another trusted relative. This person may have insight and suggestions about what your relative is experiencing. Remember, the goal isn't to gossip –it's to work together to help.
- Talk to your relative. Seek out a quiet, private space. Ask how things are going in their life. If needed, you can prompt, "You seem a little sad or frustrated. Do you feel that way?" Don't be judgmental or minimize issues.
- Be ready to recommend resources. Your relative may know that something is "off," but they may not know how to find help. Point them to the NAMI website: www.nami.org for general information and program resources.
- If your relative agrees, offer to make an appointment for them with a local mental health care provider. If you can, offer to go with them to the first appointment – for moral support. Having a familiar face in the waiting room also can make a doctor's visit much less intimidating.
- As part of your conversation, you may want to mention seeing NAMI's "You Are Not Alone" campaign which highlights famous historical leaders who have experienced mental health challenges, such as Abraham Lincoln. Your relative is not alone and should not feel ashamed.
- Follow up! Get in touch with your relative after the holiday. Ask them how they are doing. If you discussed any steps for evaluation and treatment plans, ask if they have taken them. Be encouraging and supportive.
Stay Connected
Noticing a change in a family member can be uncomfortable. You may not know how to help or feel that it's "not your place" to raise your concern with them, especially if it's someone you don't see very often. However, with respectful, empowering communication, you will be helping more than you think.
Sometimes, a relative who is struggling will ignore questions, or will become angry. Remember, the only thing you can do is to let someone know that you care, that you are there for them and that you support them.
I am so grateful that I have family members who offer consistent, patient support. I hope someone reading this will be able to offer such support to someone in their life this holiday season.
